LEITE A2: ASPECTOS QUÍMICOS, BIOQUÍMICOS, EFEITOS NA SAÚDE E MERCADO
Authors: Costa dos Santos Augusto César , Pallone Juliana Azevedo Lima
Published: March 2023

Leite e derivados lácteos são considerados matrizes ricas em proteínas de alto valor biológico, além de minerais essenciais como cálcio e fósforo. Esse capítulo buscou avaliar a composição química, bioquímica e efeitos à saúde associados ao leite A2, além da avaliação de produção e consumo. Neste contexto, a composição nutricional do leite é de extrema importância para a regulação e o funcionamento do organismo de seu consumidor. O processo digestivo das proteínas do leite é responsável por gerar diferentes moléculas com atividade biológica como peptídeos bioativos, além de β-casomorfinas, conhecidas como peptídeos opioides. O leite A2 é um produto recente no mercado consumidor, equivalente em compostos majoritários ao produto tradicional, mas com um diferencial relacionado à possibilidade de melhor digestibilidade e à produção de menores proporções de β-casomorfina 7 (BCM-7). O estudo deste derivado metabólico já proporcionou diferentes hipóteses associando os diferentes tipos de β-caseína do leite com comorbidades como diabetes mellitus e doenças cardiovasculares. Entretanto, publicações oficiais recentes já esclareceram que ainda não é possível estabelecer relações de causa e efeito entre a ingestão de BCM-7 e a prevalência de comorbidades. Estudos de intervenção dietética têm mostrado resultados distintos em função da regulação gastrointestinal e apontam que o leite A2 pode ser associado a melhores respostas no trânsito intestinal, na redução de sintomas de desconforto digestivo e de intolerância à lactose, assim como menores índices de resposta alérgica e inflamatória em indivíduos com certo grau de intolerância ao leite.

Para tomada de decisão no controle das pragas é importante a identificação do inseto, avaliando principalmente sua biologia e comportamento alimentar, para assim mensurar o dano causado no campo. O principal método de controle de insetos-praga na agricultura é o químico, com aplicação de inseticidas e faz-se necessário avaliar quais os impactos referentes a resistência desses insetos a diferentes moléculas, como também avaliar os efeitos destes inseticidas em insetos que são inimigos naturais. A mistura de inseticidas é considerada alternativa para ampliação do espectro de controle, como também na redução de custo e tempo na aplicação de inseticidas. Desalojantes na mistura de inseticidas atuam como irritante de insetos, influenciando na movimentação da praga no ambiente. Faz-se necessário mais estudos sobre o uso de desalojantes, entre outros produtos químicos com potencial desalojante para mistura de calda de inseticidas.

Authors: Nguyen Danh Nam , Uong Lan
Published: March 2023

This study investigates the influence of personality traits on positivity at work and officer performance at the district-level administrative agency in Hanoi. Based on the information obtained from 420 officers, the structural equation model was adopted to assess the impact of the Big Five model of personality on positivity at work and job performance. The results showed a positive relationship between personality traits, positivity at work, and job performance. At the same time, positivity at work positively impacts officers’ job performance. These findings suggest recommendations for district-level administrative agencies to enhance positivity at work and improve officers’ performance. This paper provides empirical evidence of the role of the Big Five model of personality. In addition, this study can serve as a reference for further research on organizational behavior in both public and private organizations.
A new species of the highly polytypic South American rodent Ctenomys increases the diversity of the magellanicus clade
Authors: Verzi Diego H. , De Santi Nahuel A. , Olivares A. Itatí , Morgan Cecilia C. , Basso Néstor G. , Brook Federico
Published: March 2023

The subterranean rodent Ctenomys is the most polytypic South American mammal genus and one of the most speciose and rapidly diversifying mammal genera in the world. Its systematics is unstable due to the underlying accelerated diversification processes that give rise to evolutionary lineages at different stages of differentiation and to remarkable morphological homogeneity even among long-differentiated species. As a result, species boundaries are often difficult to define. Diversity of this genus in the coastal area of central Argentina has been extensively studied, with two independent lineages currently recognized while a distinct third population had not been previously detected. Through a phylogenetic analysis based on combined morphological and molecular evidence, Bayesian estimates of divergence times, and morphometric and morphological assessments, we recognize this third population as an independently evolving lineage. The new species, Ctenomys pulcersp. nov., is here described for both the living fauna and the fossil record of the Pampean region of central Argentina. According to phylogenetic results, Ctenomys pulcersp. nov. belongs to the essentially Patagonian magellanicus clade, and would have diverged from its sister species, Ctenomys bidaui, during the middle Pleistocene (ca. 0.4 Ma). Its current distribution in the fixed and semifixed dunes of the coastal Pampean region is assumed to represent a relict of a wider and continuous distribution of potentially suitable environments during the late Pleistocene. Ctenomys pulcersp. nov. occurs in a particularly fragile natural system subjected to profound disturbances caused by diverse anthropic actions and therefore measures for the conservation of its habitat will be indispensable.

Authors: Chapelot Bathilde
Published: March 2023

Dans une société du savoir, la gestion de l’information est devenue source de performances et d’innovations permettant d’accroître l’avantage concurrentiel des entreprises. D’abord mobilisées par les industries de pointe, les technologies de gestion des données abondent désormais dans tous les secteurs. Les bailleurs sociaux n’échappent pas à cette nécessité d’optimiser la gestion des informations relativement aux données patrimoniales. Dans le cas de figure qui nous préoccupe, Val Touraine Habitat, la stratégie en matière de gestion des données patrimoniales, est sérieusement questionnée, avec en perspective la mise en place d’un BIM ( Building Information Modelling ), comme le gage d’une optimisation de la performance, de la productivité et du service rendu à l’ensemble des clients. Le mémoire va traiter de l’opportunité de transposer chez les bailleurs sociaux, la stratégie de gestion des données développée par les industries, à des fins d’optimisation de leur performance. À cette fin, seront successivement abordées la présentation de Val Touraine Habitat, la déclinaison du cadre théorique et méthodologique ainsi que du positionnement épistémologique, puis l’optimisation de la gestion des données dans une perspective d’amélioration de la performance.

Parmi les différentes critiques qui ont été adressées à la macroéconomie contemporaine (l’appproche DGE pour « dynamic general equilibrium »), la question de l’impératif des « microfondements de la macro-économie » a occupé une place importante. L’objectif de notre notre article est d’évaluer la pertinence des critiques avancées sur ce point. À cette fin, nous nous penchons sur trois articles représentatifs, écrits par A. Leijonhufvud, K. Hoover et A. Vercelli. Nous mettons en avant que l’impératif de microfondements ne constitue qu’un des choix méthodologiques sur lesquels l’approche DGE repose et n’est peut-être pas le plus décisif.

Effects of Mechanical Ventilator Weaning Education on ICU Nurses and Patient Outcomes: A Scoping Review
Authors: Kimura Rika , Barroga Edward , Hayashi Naoko
Published: March 2023

Background:

Assessment of mechanical ventilator (MV) weaning is a complex process that requires education for nurses. This scoping review aimed to clarify the effects of MV weaning education on intensive care unit nurses and patient outcomes.

Method:

Four databases were searched. The inclusion criteria were studies on MV weaning education for nurses, outcome measures for patients or nurses, and quantitative research.

Results:

In total, 663 studies were identified. The criteria for a full review (
n
= 15) were educational protocols (
n
= 13) and the Burns Wean Assessment Program (
n
= 2). Patient outcomes determined the MV duration. The weaning protocol was convenient for nurses. Nevertheless, their clinical judgment skills must be improved, regardless of the availability of a protocol. Education is crucial for producing positive outcomes.

Conclusion:

Education for nurses on MV weaning showed shortened MV duration. No significant effects were found for other outcomes.

Healthcare workers: diminishing burnout symptoms through self-care
Authors: Rokach Ami
Published: March 2023

Being part of the health care system involves facing stress, loneliness and the emotional toll of assisting, listening and caring for patients who come into the office or hospital, and seek or even demand assistance. Healthcare workers, like physicians, nurses and therapists, are trained, on assisting and healing others. They are less effective in taking care of themselves. This article, which aims to heighten clinicians' awareness of the need for self-care, especially now in the post-pandemic era, addresses the demanding nature of medicine and health work, and the resistance that clinicians commonly display in the face of suggestions that they engage in self-care. The consequences of neglecting to care for oneself are delineated. The demanding nature of medicine is reviewed, along with the loneliness and isolation felt by clinicians particularly those in private practice, the professional hazards faced by those caring for others, and the ways that are available to them (should they decide to care for themselves) for the benefit of their clients, their families and, obviously, themselves.
Spinoza on the Essences of Singular Things
Authors: Bender Sebastian
Published: March 2023

Essences play a central role in Spinoza’s philosophy, not only in his metaphysics, but also in his philosophy of mind, his theory of affects, and his political philosophy. Despite their importance, however, it is surprisingly difficult to determine what exactly essences are for Spinoza. On a widespread reading, the essence of X is nothing but the concept of X. This paper argues against this identification of essences and concepts. Spinozistic concepts are maximally inclusive: the concept of X contains everything that is needed to make X conceivable. The essence of X, in contrast, is more limited in scope and does not include everything that is needed to make X conceivable. Thus, Spinoza avoids the ‘overloading’ of essences and the problems that would ensue. The account developed in this paper has a surprising implication, namely that the essences of non-divine, singular things do not suffice to render these things fully conceivable on Spinoza’s view. Thus, Spinoza breaks with a tradition according to which the essence of a thing states ‘what the thing is.’ As a result, his conception of essence is much further removed from traditional Aristotelian accounts, and from other seventeenth-century accounts, than usually acknowledged.
Ground, Essence, and the Metaphysics of Metanormative Non-Naturalism
Authors: McPherson Tristram , Plunkett David
Published: March 2023

The past few decades have witnessed an extraordinary revival of interest in metanormative non-naturalism. Despite this interest, it is still unclear how to understand the distinctive metaphysical commitments of this view. We illustrate the relevant difficulties by examining what is arguably the most prominent class of contemporary attempts to formulate non-naturalism’s metaphysical commitments. This class of proposals, exemplified in work by Gideon Rosen and Stephanie Leary, characterizes the distinctive metaphysical commitments of non-naturalism in terms of metaphysical grounding and essence. We argue that these proposals overgeneralize: they either misclassify intuitively naturalistic hypotheses about the metaphysics of normativity as “non-naturalist”, or misclassify hypotheses in other areas of metaphysics. We argue that this problem stems from features of grounding itself. We suggest a more promising alternative for formulating non-naturalism, which revolves around the notion of objective similarity between classes of properties. We conclude by drawing some general lessons for inquiry about the metaphysics of normativity, and about metaphysics in general.
Cruel Intentions and Evil Deeds
Authors: Tal Eyal , Tierney Hannah
Published: March 2023

What it means for an action to have moral worth, and what is required for this to be the case, is the subject of continued controversy. Some argue that an agent performs a morally worthy action if and only if they do it because the action is morally right. Others argue that a morally worthy action is that which an agent performs because of features that make the action right. These theorists, though they oppose one another, share something important in common. They focus almost exclusively on the moral worth of right actions. But there is a negatively valenced counterpart that attaches to wrong actions, which we will call moral counterworth. In this paper, we explore the moral counterworth of wrong actions in order to shed new light on the nature of moral worth. Contrary to theorists in both camps, we argue that more than one kind of motivation can affect the moral worth of actions.
Intersectional Feminist Theory as a Non-Ideal Theory: Asian American Women Navigating Identity and Power
Authors: Kong Youjin
Published: March 2023

This paper develops an account of intersectional feminist theory by critically examining the notion of identity implicitly assumed in major critiques of intersectionality. Critics take intersectionality to fragment women along the lines of identity categories such as race, class, and sexuality. Underlying this interpretation, I argue, is the metaphysical assumption that identity is a fixed entity. This is a misunderstanding of identity that neglects how identity is actually lived. By exploring how Asian American women experience their “Asian” identity in their everyday lives (e.g., the “Asian-as-patriarchal vs. White-as-gender-progressive” stereotype, growing anti-Asian racism amid COVID-19, and Asian-Black feminist solidarities), I demonstrate that Asian identity is not fixed but changing according to how it is related to power. I identify and discuss three characteristic types of the identity-power relationship: manifestation of power-as-oppression through the construction of identity, reproduction of power-as-oppression, and creation of new forms of power, namely resistance and solidarity, through the reconstruction of identity. The lives of multiply-oppressed women (e.g., Asian women) can be understood as the locus at which the identity-power relationship is worked out, that is, the power dynamics of oppression are manifested, reproduced, and resisted through the (re)construction of identity. Building on this analysis and engaging discussions on non-ideal theory in social/political philosophy, I argue that intersectional feminist theory can be best explained as a non-ideal theory in a strong sense: a theory that, by focusing on the lives of the multiply oppressed, presents the intersecting dynamics of oppression as central and theory-guiding.

Cyber Incivility
Authors: Misra Rajnish Kumar , Sharma Divya
Published: March 2023

Cyber incivility has a detrimental effect on individuals as well as on the organization. In line with the COR theory, the research projected a mediation model in which stress would mediate the association between cyber incivility and job satisfaction. The study focused on IT professionals from the software engineering domain, which includes technical engineers and engineering managers. The outcome specified job stress as a mediator between cyber incivility and job satisfaction. To enhance satisfaction and reduce job stress, managers need to build an incivility-free environment. The sender should be cautious with the tone of the messages. Since an individual on the receiving side generally does not report incivility done by superiors, HR managers should encourage employees to provide feedback to their immediate boss. The implications would help the IT industry in reducing stress and job dissatisfaction and contribute to the limited body of research.

Published: March 2023

This paper investigates the economic relationship between logistics performance (LP) and export competitiveness (EC) based on the iceberg transport costs theory and conducts further empirical analysis according to China's logistics performance index (LPI). It finds that the higher the efficiency of logistics and transport, the lower the transportation costs coefficient per unit distance; when logistics and transportation costs decrease, domestic goods demand of foreigners increases, and so does the export value expressed in domestic prices. Additionally, Spearman's rank correlation method is used to analyze the relationship between LPI and export level (EXP), indicating that LPI has a positive rank correlation with the EXP at a significant level of 1%. This research confirms the positive correlation between LP and EC and proposes specific solutions to enhancing the logistics capability in other developing countries.

Single-chip multicore processors and their network on chip interconnection mechanisms have received extensive interest since the early 2000s. The mesh topology is popular in networks on chip. A common issue in mesh is that it can result in high energy consumption and chip temperatures. It has been recently shown that mapping communicating tasks to neighboring cores can reduce communication delays and the associated power consumption and improve throughput. This paper evaluates the contiguous allocation strategy first fit and non-contiguous allocation strategies that attempt to achieve a degree of contiguity among the cores allocated to a job. One of the non-contiguous strategies is a new strategy, referred to as neighbor allocation strategy, which decomposes the job request so that it can be accommodated by free core submeshes and individual cores that have degree of contiguity. The results show that the relative merits of the policies depend on the job's communication pattern.

There is widespread agreement that information systems are the lifeblood of the global economy, providing businesses with a crucial competitive edge in international markets and giving the world's governments and corporations of the 21st century the foundation they need to ensure the safety of their citizens and deliver superior services. Despite their importance, information systems face significant risks within and outside of the company. The best security methods can be circumvented by professional hackers, as the complexity of security attacks, the number of vulnerabilities, and the absence of implementation of quality information security management within companies have expanded substantially in recent years. For the sake of this discussion, the authors examine several security paradigms designed by scientists to protect the operations of multinational corporations.
The Impact of Varying Ratios of Water-to-Cement Content on the Fresh and Strength Properties of Self-Compacting Concrete
Authors: Al Biajawi Mohammad Ismail Yousef , Embong Rahimah
Published: March 2023

The performance requirements for structural components are becoming more sophisticated and varied in recent years. Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a highly flowable mixture that can placed without vibrations in structural elements with congested reinforcing. The development of SCC must achieve an appropriate balance between deformability and stability. Additionally, stability is influenced by the material properties and mix proportions, necessitating the development of a technique for SCC mixture design. However, techniques for mix design and testing are continually evolving. Mix design criteria primarily concern the type and quantity of constituents in the SSC mixture. The dose adjustment of the water to cement ratio is a critical property in proportioning SCC mixes. This research aims to examine the influence of different water to cement ratios (0.32, 0.34, and 0.36) with other consistent ratios using locally available ingredients in the SCC mixture. Also, in this study several fresh properties of SCC was examined in according with the European Federation of National Associations Representing for Concrete (EFNARC). Moreover, this study presents the findings and discussion of an experiment conducted to test the influence of water to cement ratios on fresh, and mechanical properties of SCC at 7, 14, 28 days of curing. The findings of the tests for fresh SCC properties in range of the standard limit. The strength properties were improved in the lower water to cement ratio. The increased in the water to cement ratio shows decreased in the strength properties. In addition, the ratio of water to cement affects the properties of the hardened material, while a higher water-to-cement percentage leads to an increase in flow, which may be attributed to the use of superplasticizer. .

Published: March 2023

The article discusses the development of digital models of the physical and mechanical characteristics of biodegradable polymers. Based on previous studies of biopolymers, it was determined that the key physicochemical properties of biopolymers for consumers are elongation, tensile strength and weight loss in soil. Since the main characteristic that determines the biodegradation of a polymer is its weight loss in the soil, the authors proposed an approach to the development of a mathematical model of this process. To develop a mathematical model of weight loss in soil for different compositions of biopolymers, it is proposed to use the approximation of the corresponding functional dependencies. As a result of the calculations, it was revealed that the most accurate results of constructing a mathematical model of weight loss in soil for PE/NR compositions are provided by polynomials of 3-4 degrees (the obtained mathematical models are highly accurate, the determination coefficient is at least 0.95). For the practical application of the developed models of the characteristics of biopolymers, an algorithm was proposed for selecting a biopolymer with the properties required for the consumer. The use of this algorithm will allow potential consumers of biopolymers to select the most suitable composition for the production of final products from it, taking into account the required values of physical and mechanical characteristics, as well as the characteristics of biodegradation.
