Authors: Asriyanti Anggi
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Shifts in disease patterns are a double burden on world health, such as breast cancer in young women < 40 years old with an Age-Standardized Incidence Rate reaching 8.2 or 100,000 world population. Breast Self Examination (BSE) has a meaningful role in the initial detection of breast cancer, so it can prevent cancer from delayed detection and increase women's life expectancy as a risk group. BSE practice should have been routinely implemented at the age of female students. This research aims to determine related factors to BSE practices in female undergraduate students aged 18-24 in Tembalang Subdistrict.Methods: This observational analytic research uses a cross-sectional approach with female undergraduate students aged 18-24 years in Tembalang Subdistrict as a population. There were 200 samples with a 1:1 ratio of groups that do BSE and those that do not. This research used a questionnaire with online data collection via Google Forms, then imposed univariate and bivariate analysis with a chi-square test.Results: Family history of breast cancer (ρ=0.001), information exposure (ρ=0.000), and awareness (ρ=0.007) were related to BSE practice in female undergraduate students aged 18-24 years.Conclusion: It is essential to provide a valid source of information on social media as the most frequently used information exposure media about breast cancer and ways of initial detection, so every woman can have awareness, whether she has a family history of breast cancer or not.

Published: August 2023

The aim of the presented study was to estimate the prevalence, distribution and associations of different pathogenicity islands (PAI I536 to PAI IV536, PAI IJ96, PAI IIJ96, PAI ICFT073 and PAI IICFT073), iron uptake systems (genes iutA, iucD, iroN, iroCD, fyuA, irp2, iha, ireA, and hbp) and plasmids among extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) strains isolated from Slovenian patients. Twenty-nine ExPEC isolates obtained from the Institute of Microbiology and Immunology, Medical Faculty, University of Ljubljana were investigated for the presence of different pathogenicity islands and iron uptake systems with PCR, the plasmid content of theinvestigated strains was determined by molecular biology techniques. The significance of the found associations of the studied PAIs and iron uptake systems was analyzed with the Fisher’s exact test. PAI IV536 was found in 19, PAI II CFT073 in 6, PAI ICFT073 in 4, and PAI IIJ96 in one of the studied isolates. PAI I536, PAI II536, PAI III536 and PAI IJ96 were not detected in any studied isolate. In 19 of the studied isolates plasmids were detected. The irp2 was found in 20, fyuA in 19, iucD and iutA in 12, iha in 9, iroN in 8, iroCD in 7, ireA in 7 and hbp in 4 of studied isolates. PAI IV536 was statistically significantly associated with the yersiniabactin siderophore system and PAI ICFT073 was statistically significantly associated with the aerobactin siderophore system as well as Iha. To our knowledge this is the first report on PAIs and iron uptake systems among Slovenian ExPEC isolates, as well as a first report on PAIs, iron uptake systems and plasmids among isolates from skin and soft tissue infections.

Published: August 2023

Despite the anticipated environmental release of anthropogenic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), there is currently not enough data on their potential impact on terrestrial environment. In the current study, we investigated the effects of considerably low concentrations of AuNPs on terrestrial isopods (Porcellio scaber) after 14 days of exposure. The effects on mortality, weight change, feeding rate, avoidance/preference feeding behavior, and cell membrane destabilization of digestive gland cells were followed. In parallel, the accumulation of Au in the digestive glands was measured. Our results show that none of the tested parameters was affected in isopods under given exposure doses (10 and 60 µg Au/g dry leaf) and exposure duration. No Au was assimilated in the digestive glands. Also, the same doses of the reference chemical, AuCl3, showed no effect. We conclude that these concentrations of AuNPs are safe for terrestrial isopods. We encourage reporting the results showing no adverse effects of nanoparticles to balance the prevailing publication of their adverse effects. This will help to build a realistic public perception of the environmental risk of nanomaterials.

Authors: Železnik Igor , Čatorič Doroteja , J. Toman Mihael
Published: August 2023

The catchment area in urban and agricultural landscapes is greatly influenced by human activities that reflect also in physical and chemical characteristics of water as well as in species diversity in water bodies. The diversity and the species composition of epilithic diatom communities in the Savinja River, as well as basic environmental parameters were analysed. Sampling sites were selected in reaches subjected to different influences from the catchment area and with different physical and chemical characteristics. Samples were collected at the site where the Savinja River enters the urban area of the town Celje, at the end of urban landscape and downstream of the Celje waste water treatment plant outflow. The most common and dominant diatom species in the periphyton community was Achnanthes biasolettiana. Other common diatom taxa that were found in all samples and at least in one sample exceeded relative abundance of 10% were Nitzschia fonticola, Amphora pediculus and Nitzschia dissipata. The results of the redundancy analyses (RDA) revealed that the variance of the epilithic diatom community was explained by O2 saturation(35%) and saprobic index (33% of TVE). Diatom species richness was positively correlated with O2 saturation. Shannon-Wienerdiversity index was positively correlated with saprobic index values based on all algae and trophic index calculated on the base of diatoms indicating a relatively low organic matter and nutrient input into the river system. The results showed that no significant changes in epilithic diatom species composition and no negative impacts on diversity of epilithic diatom community in the Savinja River were detected on its flow through the urban landscape. Moreover, changes between the seasons were more evident than changes between sampling sites, confirming the importance of sampling date for monitoring.
Accessibility of school health education is an underlying factor for differences in knowledge about sexually transmitted infections of secondary school pupils
Authors: Golja Petra , Antončič Kaja
Published: August 2023

Health education constituted an individual subject in secondary schools in Slovenia before 1985. Thereafter it was disintegrated and its topics incorporated into different school subjects. Health education topics are required in the extent of 15 hours in upper secondary general education schools, but in the extent of 0 to 18 hours in other secondary school programmes. The present study compared the knowledge about sexually transmitted infections of pupils of two 4-year secondary school programmes with different health education requirements. The results demonstrated that different accessibility of school health education results in distinct differences in knowledge about the existence, sources of infection, symptoms, and protection against sexually transmitted infections between pupils of different secondary school programmes. Despite the general conception of overloaded curriculums, more than two thirds of pupils of both educational programmes expressed the need of receiving more information in sexual education topics, with systematic medical exam selected as the most suitable form of sexual education, closely followed by Biology class, and school project day. The results call for the attention of educational policy makers, as they clearly emphasise the need of establishing systematic and comprehensive school health education for all pupils, not only for those enrolled in the selected secondary school programmes.

Stinkwort (Dittrichia graveolens) organic extracts as potential biofungicides for Fusarium poae
Authors: Anžlovar Sabina
Published: August 2023

In the present study, we tested the antifungal activity of ethanol, methanol and acetone extracts of stinkwort against pathogenic fungus grown from ecological wheat grain, molecularly identified as Fusarium poae. Its susceptibility to the stinkworth extracts was tested in vitro with agardilution method. The results of antifungal effect of the organic stinkwort extracts showed that the growth of F. poae was significantly reduced by these extracts compared to the control and that the antifungal activity is dose-dependent. The methanol extract showed stronger inhibition than the ethanol and acetone ones at all three concentrations. All organic extracts showed a similar antifungal activity against F. poae as a broad-spectrum fungicide azoxystrobin. We tested the effects of stinkwoth extracts on the germination of radish seeds. The methanol extract delayed the germination of the radish seeds during the first 24 hours, but thereafter all three organic extracts had a comparable germination rate as the control seeds. Despite the delayed germination of the radish seeds, the methanol extract did not reduce the final germination rate and at the same time reduced the fungal infection by almost 50%. These results indicate that the methanol stinkwort extract has the potential to be used as a biofungicide in organic farming.

Authors: Dwayyeh Riyadh Taha , Ilbas Ali Irfan , Al-Ani Muaiad Hadi
Published: August 2023

The present study was conducted to determine the effects of glutamic acid treatments at different doses on determined characteristics of some sunflower varieties. Glutamic acid treatments were practiced as foliar sprays at four different concentrations (0, 100, 200 and 300 mg l-1) to three different sunflower varieties (Sakha, Amar and Ishaqi-1). Field experiments were conducted in randomized blocks in a split-plot experimental design with three replications under Anbar-Iraq conditions in 2021. The highest average leaf area index was 5.82 cm2. The 100 mg l-1 glutamic acid treatments of the variety Aqmar yielded the highest chlorophyll content (40.51%). For the variety Ishaqi-1, the 100 mg l-1 glutamic acid treatment resulted in the highest protein content (15.51%). However, the 200 mg l-1 glutamic acid treatments of the variety Ishaqi-1 resulted in an increase in empty seeds rate (75.29%) and oil content (44.09%). In general, medium external glutamic acid doses (100 mg l-1 and 200 mg l-1) increase the chlorophyll content and protein content, and oil content, respectively. But, the empty seed rate also increased with 200 mg l-1 application.
Diagnostic value of serum neuroactive substances in the acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated with depression
Authors: Duan Wei , Cheng Mengyu
Published: August 2023

We aimed to investigate the potential diagnostic value of five serum neuroactive substances in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) complicated with depression. A total of 103 patients with AECOPD were enrolled between August 2020 and August 2021. All patients were assessed using a self-rating depression scale and divided into AECOPD with or without depression groups. Baseline data and serum neuroactive substance levels were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression was used to identify the risk factors. The diagnostic performance of neuroactive substances was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Patients with AECOPD complicated with depression exhibited higher partial pressure of CO2 values and higher chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test (CAT) scores. An elevated proportion of patients with more than two acute exacerbations (AEs) in the previous year was observed in this patient group (all P < 0.001). The CAT score and number of AEs during the previous year were identified as independent risk factors for AECOPD complicated with depression. No significant differences were observed in the levels of aspartic acid and glutamate between the two groups (P > 0.05). Serum γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine (Gly) levels were decreased. In contrast, serum nitric oxide (NO) levels were increased in the AECOPD complicated with the depression group (P < 0.05). Serum GABA and Gly levels exhibited a negative correlation, and NO levels positively correlated with the number of AEs in the previous year and the CAT score. The area under the ROC curve values for GABA, Gly, and NO were 0.755, 0.695, and 0.724, respectively. Serum GABA exhibited a sensitivity of 85.1% and a specificity of 58.9%, below the cut-off value of 4855.98 nmol/L. Serum GABA, Gly, and NO may represent potential biomarkers for AECOPD complicated with depression.

Published: August 2023

To evaluate the clinical significance of detecting serum IgG4 and the IgG4/IgG ratio in patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) and to explore whether high serum IgG4 levels and the IgG4/IgG ratio are associated with the severity and activity of TAO, we retrospectively assessed the records of 78 TAO patients and 32 controls collected in our hospital from July 2020 to July 2022. The TAO patients were divided into TAO inactive and TAO active phase groups according to the clinical activity score (CAS), and we evaluated the association between the serum IgG4 levels, the IgG4/IgG ratio, and the clinical data of the participants. The levels of IgG4 significantly increased in the TAO active group compared to those in the inactive and control groups (P < 0.05). Additionally, the number of patients with increased IgG4 levels (≥135 mg/dL) in the TAO active group was markedly higher than that in the inactive and control groups (P < 0.05). The IgG4/IgG ratio was also significantly enhanced in the TAO active group compared to the inactive and control groups (P < 0.05). CAS was identified as an independent factor influencing IgG4 levels in patients with TAO. The levels of serum IgG4, as well as the IgG4/IgG ratio, were significantly increased in some patients with active TAO, and they were related to the CAS, suggesting that the pathogenesis of TAO may be heterogeneous.

The cross-border e-commerce platform selection based on the probabilistic dual hesitant fuzzy generalized dice similarity measures
Authors: Ning Baoquan , Wei Guiwu
Published: August 2023

Cross-border e-commerce platform (CBECP) plays a very important role in the development of a cross-border e-commerce (CBEC). How to select the best CBECP scientifically and reasonably is a very critical multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) issue. With the uncertainty of people’s cognition of the objective world, the decision-making process is full of a lot of fuzzy information. In view of the great advantages of probabilistic dual hesitation fuzzy set (FS) in expressing decision-making information, and in combination with the very extensive use of the Dice similarity measure (DSM), a new MAGDM method is proposed for the optimal CBECP selection (CBECPS) under the probabilistic dual hesitation fuzzy (PDHF) environment. First, on the basis of reviewing a large number of documents on the CBECPS for CBEC, the evaluation index system for the CBECPS is constructed; second, several new DSMs are proposed in the PDHF environment; third, based on the two newly proposed probabilistic dual hesitant weighted generalized Dice similarity measures, two novel MAGDM methods are provided for CBECPS, which are used for CBECPS; finally, the two established MAGDM techniques are compared with the existing decision-making methods, and the parameter analysis is carried out to illustrate the effectiveness and superiority of the two established MAGDM techniques. The two established techniques can not only be used for CBECPS of CBEC, but also be extended to similar related research.

Authors: Huang Xin , Zhang Mingxing , Li Suhong , Li Tuoping
Published: August 2023

In this work, the adsorption and desorption capacities of six resins (HP-20, AB-8, X-5, DM130, HPD100, D4006) for the purification of hawthorn flavonoids were investigated. HP-20 resin was screened out that has the best adsorption capacity, with an adsorption capacity of 24.2 mg/g. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm model, pseudo first-order and pseudo second-order kinetics and intra particle diffusion model were used to fit the adsorption process. The results indicated that the adsorption process of hawthorn flavonoids by HP-20 was in accordance with the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo second-order model, and the optimal adsorption temperature was 298 K. The adsorption process was spontaneously exothermic as indicated by thermodynamic parameters. After purification, hawthorn flavonoids showed high acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities.

Published: August 2023

This study investigated the impact of the extrusion of defatted wheat germ (DWG) on the physical properties of wheat germ protein (WGP) and its efficacy as a novel emulsifier in terms of emulsion stability. Compared with the untreated sample, the particle size of extruded WGP (E-WGP) was decreased by 56.22 %, while the absolute zeta-potential was increased by 40.07 %; the enthalpy increased from 0.013 J/g to 0.078 J/g, and the structure became more orderly. The amount of protein required to produce stable emulsions was much lower for E-WGP than for untreated WGP. Moreover, The E-WGP emulsions showed good storage stability after 7 day of storage at 4 °C, which had higher absolute zeta-potential (24.65 %), emulsifying activity (200.00 %), and turbidity (139.09 %) than the untreated sample. After the freeze-thaw cycle, the E-WGP emulsions had smaller particle sizes and higher turbidity, and their flocculation degree was lower than that of the untreated sample. These findings demonstrate E-WGP can be used as a new innovative emulsifier.

Authors: Singh Vijay , Nande Amol , Dhoble S. J.
Published: August 2023

This study examines the optical properties of Ca2La8−x
(SiO4)6O2:xHo3+ phosphors derived using the sol–gel method. X-ray diffraction data and Rietveld analysis confirmed that the phosphors formed in hexagonal phase with an average estimated crystalline size of 27 nm. The prominent excitation peak observed at wavelength 463 nm corresponding to excitation energy 2.68 eV was due to the 5I8 → 5G6 + 5F1 transition. The photoluminescence emission spectra revealed that the synthesized phosphors emitted in the green color region with the 5S2 + 5F4 → 5I8 transition, releasing 2.27 eV energy. The emission and excitation analyses revealed the presence of concentration quenching as the Ho3+ concentration exceeded 0.03 mol in the Ca2La8−x
(SiO4)6O2:xHo3+ series. Further, photometry analysis demonstrated a color purity exceeding 94 %, which supports the candidacy of these phosphors for solid-state lighting applications.
An analysis of longitudinal residual stresses in EN AW-5083 alloy strips as a function of cold-rolling process parameters
Authors: Tadić Nebojša , Mišović Mitar , Radović Žarko
Published: August 2023

Various process nonhomogeneities in the cold rolling lead to an uneven distribution of deformation across the strip cross-section, resulting in the induction of residual stresses. This study investigates the longitudinal residual stresses in cold-rolled EN AW-5083 aluminum alloy strips using the finite element method (FEM) to achieve reliable predictions. The impacts of process parameters, including the reduction ratio, coefficient of contact friction, and front and back tensions, were analyzed. Changes in residual stresses, depending on the process parameters, were determined by the distribution of linear and shear strains, as well as the strain hardening conditions at the exit part of the deformation zone. An increase in the reduction ratio from 20 to 50%, as well as an increase in the friction coefficient from 0.1 to 0.2, resulted in decreased stress values. The residual stresses on the strip surface, determined by the experimental deflection method, were consistent with the results obtained by FEM simulation. Under the impact of back and/or front tensions, there is a reduction in longitudinal residual stresses, with the front tension exerting the greatest influence. The research results show that the FEM is a reliable tool for predicting residual stresses in cold-rolled strips.
Analog Analogies: Intel v. Hamidi and the Future of Trespass to Chattels
Authors: Brady Maureen E. , Stern James Y.
Published: August 2023

A symposium on great torts cases of the twenty-first century must include Intel Corp. v. Hamidi, the canonical case about whether unwanted e-mail spam sent to a company’s server could give rise to a trespass to chattels claim. While much has been written about Intel, in this Essay, we argue that Intel is as much of a classic for what it reveals about the old-fashioned tort as it is for its more closely examined ruling on “cybertrespass.” The dueling personal property analogies chosen by the majority and dissenting opinions in Intel reveal basic and fundamental disagreements about what sorts of conduct the traditional tort prohibits: specifically, when a plaintiff may obtain nominal damages or an injunction against a defendant’s contact with personal property when that contact does not have lasting physical effects. As we point out, this question arose in cases long before Intel and generated some discussion during the drafting of the First and Second Restatements of Torts. Now, the same question arises in Fourth Amendment law and the law of Article III standing, areas in which recent Supreme Court decisions have elevated trespass-to-chattels analyses to renewed significance. Our Essay indicates the need for further development on open questions in the law of trespass to chattels, suggesting some ways that central tort-law notions like intentionality and custom might provide firmer bases for recognizing the harm in unwanted contact with things.

Authors: Guo Xiaoxuan , Li Bin , Zhang Guilei , Yan Haiyuan , Li Wei , Fan Zhenzhong , Tong Qilei
Published: August 2023

The KCl/PHPA waste drilling fluid is produced during drilling operations in Bohai Oilfield, China, which cannot be directly used or discharged, it needs to be flocculated. In order to know the aggregation mechanism of colloidal particles in KCl/PHPA drilling fluid, the calculation method of zeta potential and the relationship between the stability of waste fluid and zeta potential are discussed in detail in this article. The process of decreasing the zeta potential of waste fluid due to the addition of cationic polyacrylamide is called instability. The process in which unstable particles aggregate into larger particles is called coagulation, and the process in which unstable particles aggregate into large flocs is called flocculation. According to the types of treatment agents in KCl/PHPA waste drilling fluid, the structure and energy changes formed between low-viscosity polyanionic cellulose, partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide, xanthan gum, starch, and water molecules are constructed. The energy of the four treatment agent systems decreased by 21.4–67.5% after the cationic polyacrylamide was added. The reduction of system energy reduced the repulsive force between colloidal particles in the waste fluid and promoted the agglomeration of colloidal particles. The agglomeration mechanism of waste liquid particles was obtained.

A new rubidium uranyl silicate, Rb2(UO2)2O(Si3O8) (1), was obtained using high-temperature approach from the melt in silica tubes. Its crystal structure was solved by direct methods: hexagonal, P6/m, a = 27.7992(7), c = 7.2346(2) Å, V = 4841.8(3) Å3, R
1 = 0.033. The structure of 1 represents a new structure type with unprecedented topology not observed before among U(VI) oxides and oxysalts. It is comprised of layers with large voids derived from the U3O8 structure formed exclusively by pentagonal UrO5 bipyramids. The low-occupied Rb sites are located in the interlayer space. The SiO4 silicate tetrahedra in the structure of 1 share vertices to form rolled [Si6O16]8− chains. The nanotubules [(UO2)(Si6O16)]6− penetrate through both U3O8-derived layers and Rb interlayer. These tubules are attached to the U3O8 derived sheets via uranyl-uranyl interactions and edge-sharing between silicate tetrahedra and UrO5 bipyramids.

Authors: Rifandanu Farel , Febrianti Ayu
Published: August 2023

Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage has stated that someone who wants to get married must be at least 19 years old. However, in practice, underage marriages or early marriages are still developing in society, especially in the city of Semarang. Even though Islamic law does not prohibit early marriage, it can cause various impacts that are more likely to be negative in achieving the future of children. The formulation of the problem used is why early marriage is still developing in society and how is the impact of early marriage on the future orientation of children in the Semarang City area. This study uses a normative juridical type with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results of the study show that the impact of early marriage will be felt on a person's future orientation which includes one's education and career, one's reproductive health, psychological and even economic.
Role of oxidative stress, gut microbiota and derived metabolites in the etiology and progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Authors: Das Ankita , De Arka Jyoti , Mohanty Tanuja , Aich Palok
Published: August 2023

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease or NAFLD is a complex and multifactorial liver disease that is affecting a majority of the world’s population now more than ever. The review focuses on two major contributing factors in the etiology of the disease – oxidative stress and the gut microbiota. There is a complex interplay between oxidative stress and the gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Oxidative stress in NAFLD can result from both the accumulation of lipids in the liver and the interactions between gut-derived metabolites and the liver. Dysbiosis in the gut microbiota can contribute to oxidative stress by promoting the production of reactive oxygen species and altering the balance of antioxidant systems. This interplay between oxidative stress and the gut microbiota can create a vicious cycle, where dysbiosis contributes to oxidative stress, and oxidative stress further promotes dysbiosis, exacerbating liver damage in NAFLD. Understanding the intricate relationship between oxidative stress, the gut microbiota, and NAFLD is essential for developing targeted therapeutic strategies. In this context, more scientific research is required to unravel the complex and interconnecting pathways underlying NAFLD pathogenesis and progression. Modulating the gut microbiota through dietary interventions, prebiotics, probiotics, and change in lifestyle may help restore microbial balance and reduce oxidative stress in NAFLD.

Pea (Pisum sativum L.) plant, a legume species, is used as a vegetable for fresh consumption and frozen, canned or dried and processed and consumed as dry grain. The effects of organic fertilization, which is important for plant nutrition and soil fertility in pea cultivation, on grain yield and some agricultural characteristics were investigated. The experiment was carried out in the experiment field belonging to Selçuk University, Faculty of Agriculture, Prof. Dr. Abdülkadir AKÇİN Research and Application Station in 2021 according to the "Split Plots Experiment in Randomized Blocks" design with 3 replications. In the research, fertilizers were randomly placed in the main plots and varieties were randomly placed in the sub-plots. In the experiment, high yielding 16002, 16011, 16018, 16022 and Ultrello x Rondo genotypes suitable for fresh consumption and registered Betagreen pea variety were used as materials. Grain yield, some agronomic traits, protein yield and protein ratio were analyzed in the study. It was determined that the effects of chemical fertilizer and some organic fertilizer applications on all other traits examined in peas were statistically significant. According to the results of the research, the number of branches in pea plants was 3.18 pieces/plant (control) and 4.13 pieces/plant (chemical fertilizer), plant height was 45.89 cm (sheep manure) and 49.51 cm (chemical fertilizer), the number of pods was 14.31 pieces/plant (control) and 25.90 pieces/plant (chemical fertilizer), the number of grains in pods was 4.90 pieces (control) and 6.64 pieces (chemical fertilizer), the number of grains per plant was 70. 03 (control) to 172.20 (chemical fertilizer), hundred seed weight 29.30 g (control) to 33.22 g (chemical fertilizer), grain yield 128.75 kg da-1 (control) to 300.38 kg da-1 (chemical fertilizer), protein content 22.49% (control) to 23.12% (sheep manure) and protein yield 28.96 kg da-1 (control) to 67.91 kg da-1 (chemical fertilizer). The responses of genotypes to organic fertilizer applications showed differences. As a result, it was determined that organic fertilization in peas gave less grain yield than those grown with chemical fertilization, but protein content had higher values. This showed that organic fertilization is a sustainable and environmentally friendly option for pea cultivation.

Różowe lalki, granatowe samochody. Marketing a powstawanie stereotypów płciowych
Authors: Barszczyńska Joanna
Published: August 2023

Cel. Celem była eksploracja obszaru związanego z powstawaniem i kształtowaniem się stereotypów płciowych poprzez elementy marketingu zabawek i ich reklam.
Metoda. Analiza literatury przedmiotu, jakościowa analiza treści.
Wyniki. Na podstawie przeglądu literatury, stron internetowych sklepów z zabawkami i reklam wideo można stwierdzić, że wybór zabawek przez dzieci i dorosłych, a także działania marketingowe marek produkujących zabawki są w mniejszym lub większym stopniu stypizowane płciowo. Pomimo, że badane zagadnienie jest bardzo złożone, to na podstawie dostępnych badań i przykładów przedstawionych w niniejszym artykule zauważyć można pewne tendencje dotyczące zarówno rodzaju, kolorystyki jak i przeznaczenia zabawek w odniesieniu do danej płci biologicznej. Symbolika oraz określenia dotyczące tych zabawek występujące w ich reklamach czy opisach, również często różnią się w zależności od tego, do kogo zabawka ma być kierowana.
Wnioski. Przeprowadzone do tej pory badania wskazują, że może istnieć pozytywny związek między korzystaniem z określonego rodzaju zabawek, a powstawaniem stereotypów płciowych. Dzieci z czasem zaczynają te stereotypy powielać, co w następstwie może kształtować ich poglądy na role płciowe. Już poprzez wybór zabawek mogą powstawać pewne schematy myślowe oraz sposoby postrzegania świata. Schematy te bardzo często kształtowane są przez dorosłych – szczególnie rodziców, a także media tj. reklamy, filmy, bajki, gry, czy też Internet i to właśnie ich wpływ może doprowadzić do otwartości lub zamknięcia się dziecka na różnorodność. Obserwując zarówno pozytywne jak i negatywne następstwa istnienia stereotypów płciowych można dojść do wniosku, że temat ten należy traktować rozważnie, ponieważ w wyniku uczenia się różnych umiejętności dzieci mogą się stać bardziej doświadczone i lepiej przygotowane do niektórych zawodów, dziedzin i przyszłych ról. Dzieci ograniczające się do pewnych kategorii zabawek mogą natomiast w przyszłości zawęzić swoje zainteresowania zawodowe lub przyczynić się do powielenia stereotypów dotyczących na przykład podziału zadań w gospodarstwie domowym czy też w innych dziedzinach życia.

La lectura, aire fresco en el tiempo de los Novatores
Authors: Pérez-Magallón Jesús
Published: August 2023

Este artículo explora el modo en que, más allá de algunos lugares comunes sobre el aislamiento de España a partir del reinado de Felipe II y la labor de la Inquisición, los libros circularon y cruzaron las fronteras, fomentando una lectura crítica y compartible entre las élites. En concreto, nos concentramos en el tiempo de los novatores —entre finales del siglo xvii y comienzos del siglo XVIII— para demostrar cómo ninguno de los cambios culturales que tuvieron lugar en ese periodo sería explicable sin el movimiento, circulación y disfrute social de la lectura de libros nacionales y extranjeros. Y todavía más en concreto, nos fijamos en El hombre práctico como caso de estudio que acredita el vigor de ese fenómeno.

Individual and combined decontamination effect of fermentation and ultrasound on aflatoxin B1 in wheat-based doughs: a preliminary study
Authors: Gonçalves Basso Amanda Bezerra , Ali Sher , Corassin Carlos Humberto , Rosim Roice Eliana , Fernandes de Oliveria Carlos Augusto
Published: August 2023

In this work, a preliminary investigation was conducted to examine the effect of ultrasound (US), alone or in combination with fermentation, on the reduction of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) at 50 ng/g in wheat flour-based doughs. The US treatment was performed by soaking flasks containing triplicate samples of non-fermented and fermented (18 h at 28°C; 85% relative humidity) doughs in US bath (40 kHz; 100 W/cm2) at 35°C for 10, 30 and 60 min. Percentage reduction of AFB1 levels as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography varied between 3.6% and 46.0% in non-fermented doughs, and from 6.7% to 61.7% in fermented doughs. The US treatments used in the experiment did not interfere with the titratable acidity of fermented doughs, hence confirming US as a promising technique to reduce aflatoxin levels in fermented wheat-based products. The future studies are required to determine other parameters, such as temperature and pH of the product, to optimize the decontamination process of AFB1 as well as to evaluate possible effects of US on the sensory attributes of wheat-based products.

The frequency and associated factors of infusion-related reactions to rituximab for patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Authors: PEKDİKER Mete
Published: August 2023

Objectives: Rituximab is an effective biological agent for treating patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Rheumatologists can avoid rituximab therapy because of infusion-related reactions (IRR). There is a lack of data about rituximab-related IRR, especially in rituximab-naïve patients with RA; therefore, we aimed to determine the frequency and associated factors of rituximab-related IRR in these patients.

Methods: Baseline demographic, laboratory, and treatment data were noted. One course of rituximab was used in two infusions to 95 rituximab-naïve patients with RA. Standardized premedication was administered before infusions. Rates, severity, and management of IRR were recorded. Efficacy and infections were also noted if there were.

Results: Ninety-four of 95 patients completed the rituximab course successfully. We observed a total of 23 IRRs in 20 patients. The frequency of IRR was 12.1%, and serious IRR was 0.52%. Grade 1-2-3 IRRs had a rate of 52.2%, 30.4%, and 17.4%, respectively; grade 4 or 5 IRR wasn’t detected. Age <60 years, anti-CCP <200U/ml and absence of biologic agent use before rituximab was significantly higher in patients with IRR than without IRR (p=0.01, p=0.002, p=0.01 respectively). We found out that if only the disease age is above 60 months, it is protective against IRR as per the results of multivariate model analysis.

Conclusion: Results supported that rituximab is a safe biological agent option for patients with RA at secondary central hospitals. Identified risk factors of IRR need to be corroborated in larger studies for safer rituximab therapy.
