Published: December 2024

Este estudio jurídico tuvo como objetivo analizar la viabilidad jurídica y social de la imputación de adolescentes infractores en Ecuador, considerando el marco legal vigente y la creciente participación de adolescentes en delitos graves, con el fin de proponer medidas que permitan una justicia penal juvenil equitativa y efectiva. Entre 2019 y 2023, el número de homicidios cometidos por y contra adolescentes aumentó dramáticamente. Las estadísticas muestran un incremento del 640% en la tasa de homicidios infantiles y adolescentes en solo cuatro años (UNICEF, 2024a, 2024b). Este fenómeno está vinculado a la actividad de bandas criminales que reclutan jóvenes para actividades delictivas, incluyendo el sicariato. Se uso el método cualitativo incluyendo una revisión sistemática de literatura, leyes, reglamentos y sentencias judiciales empleando el método exegético, revelando las deficiencias en la aplicación práctica del marco legal ecuatoriano, que intenta proteger los derechos de los adolescentes, siendo que la Constitución de la República y el Código de la Niñez y Adolescencia, limitan la imputación penal de adolescentes. Las conclusiones subrayan la necesidad de un enfoque integral que combine prevención, intervención y justicia; además, se propone una reforma al Código Orgánico Integral Penal, para que se sancione con penas más severas a los adultos que utilicen a menores en actividades delictivas.

Authors: Santos Lara Oliveira Holak dos , Campos Bruno Menezes Teixeira , Domingos Ana Beatriz de Mello , Santos Bruna Cristina Moreira , Azevedo Christianne Terra de Oliveira
Published: December 2024

O colostro apresenta altas concentrações de fatores imunoprotetores fundamentais para recém-nascidos (RN) prematuros e de baixo peso ao nascer (BPN) na redução de morbimortalidades, como a enterocolite necrosante (ECN). No entanto, para alguns desses prematuros, alimentação oral e enteral nas primeiras semanas não é possível, sendo a colostroterapia uma tentativa de viabilizar o aleitamento precoce. Analisar a eficácia da colostroterapia na prevenção de ECN em RN prematuros com BPN. A pesquisa foi realizada nas plataformas PubMed e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde com os descritores “Colostrum” e “necrotizing enterocolitis”, utilizando o operador booleano “AND”. Incluiu-se publicações de 2013 a 2023, ensaios clínicos controlados, estudos observacionais e artigos com textos completos. Artigos fora do tema delimitado, duplicados, revisão sistemática, meta-análise e estudos em andamento foram excluídos. Após a aplicação dos critérios mantiveram-se 17 artigos. Dos artigos selecionados, 05 estudos observaram que a colostroterapia, com leite materno, apresenta eficácia na prevenção de enterocolite necrosante. No entanto, 12 estudos, os quais consideraram colostro materno e bovino, não observaram eficácia na prevenção. Os estudos analisados mostraram que o número de bebês incluídos, a variação na técnica, na dose utilizada, no intervalo e na duração do tratamento interferem no resultado. Embora a fisiopatologia da doença não esteja completamente esclarecida, há evidências de que o colostro materno apresenta benefícios a curto prazo na redução da morbimortalidade infantil. Desta forma, é de suma importância que se estabeleça um protocolo conciso para que se compreenda a eficácia na prevenção da ECN.

Published: December 2024

The beings that inhabit this vital environment grow in collaboration and harmony with nature, as happens with the evolution of knowledge. The objective of the research was to systematize the information from the interpretation of fauna and flora and the use made by the Aymara during the year; which was described by Van and Enríquez (2002), who used astronomical observation techniques and their sixth sense, in other words, pure Aymara intuition. They believed that the agroclimatic forecasting techniques of the Aymara of the north and south of the Altiplano allowed them to anticipate the months of the year to obtain a good harvest volume and ensure agricultural yields. The research corresponds to a qualitative approach with an ethnographic method with a descriptive nature aimed at interpreting the nature and use made by the Aymara throughout the year. The in-depth interview technique was applied, characterized by face-to-face dialogued interactions and participant observation in the Aymara area of Huancané in the north and the Aymara area of Ilave-Juli in the south. Ten Aymara speakers from both Huancané and Ilave-Juli areas were interviewed, aged between 45 and 80, preferably monolingual in Aymara and also included bilingual Aymara-Spanish speakers. The results show that reading the signs of nature's flora and fauna contributes to agricultural production in different months of the year.

The effect of dietary lipids on reproductive performance in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Authors: H. Kohsari
Published: December 2024

The present study evaluated the effect of different dietary lipids on the reproductive
performance of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Brood fish (≈ 920 g, n=80) were
fed four different diets with the same amount of protein and lipid. The lipids used in the
diet were fish oil (FO), linseed oil (LO), soybean oil (SO), and a commercial trout diet
(CTD), which were fed seven weeks before spawning. The growth rate of the fish in
different treatment groups was not different during the experimental period. The mean
diameter, volume, and weight of the eggs did not differ among different treatment groups.
Absolute fecundity, relative fecundity, and gonadosomatic index were not affected by
the diet. The results showed that LO and SO can be used as a source of lipid in the diet
of the rainbow trout brood fish without reducing the quality of the eggs and reproductive
performance
Sex ratio, fecundity and egg development of Macrobrachium felicinum (Holthuis, 1949) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Natantia) in the Lower River Benue, Makurdi, Nigeria
Authors: C. Obetta , R.A Obande
Published: December 2024

Sex ratio, fecundity and egg development of Macrobrachium felicinum were
investigated in the Lower River Benue from January 2018 to December 2018. Four
hundred and eighty (480) specimens of M. felicinum were collected from fishermen
using combination of gears (drag nets, set traps and traditional gear known as “Ahina)”.
The specimens were transported in icebox containing water to the laboratory for further
studies. The prawns were identified to species level by the keys of Schneider.
Morphological measurements were done according to Adite et al. Body weight was
taken with a top loading electronic Metler balance. The sexes were determined using
morphological features according to Anetekhai. Fecundity was determined by
gravimetric method. Embryonic development was characterized into five stages based
on colour of egg mass. Sex ratio ranged from 5:1 to 26:1. Fecundity varied from 230 to
69,782, and strongly correlated with weight (r= 0.860) than with length (r=0.760). Most
of the eggs (29.17%) were in stage 4. Stage 3 and 1 each had 25%. Stage 2 had 12.5%
and the least number (8.33%) was observed in stage 5. The presence of mostly females
and all stages of egg development in the specimens projects River Benue as a likely
place for both breeding and spawning of M. felicinum. Macrobrachium felicinum is
recommended as a good candidates for aquaculture in Nigeria as its seeds are readily
found in the wild and in freshwater.
Effect of dose level of three hormones on egg production and thermal accumulated period during induced spawning of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)
Authors: N.A. Salman
Published: December 2024

Three present investigations aimed at determining the optimum doses of three hormones
used for induced spawning of Grass Carp. PG extract, HCG, and Ovaprim Preparation).
Egg production by females and acceleration of thermal accumulation period (TAP) are
the two parameters used for evaluation. Results showed that the PG dose of 4.5 mg/kg
was the best as it produced 1100 - 1500 g of eggs in fish of 4.5-6.75 kg in weight. The
lowest TAP value (240°C.h) was recorded upon the use of 4 and 4.5 mg/kg doses of PG.
Doses of HCG between 800–900 IU/kg produced 100-140 g of eggs form fish of 3.8-4.5
kg. TAP recorded for HCG hormone varied extensively between 265-453°C.h at the dose
900 IU/kg. Higher doses (1100 and 1200 IU/kg) produced similar TAP values (300-
362°C.h). Response of grass carp females to HCG treatment was not promising despite
changing the dose or incubation temperature. Positive response was recorded in grass
carp females receiving doses of 0.4 and 0.5 mL/kg ovaprim preparation leading to the
production of 100- 750 g of eggs weight. The best dose which produces the shortest TAP
(297°C. h) and the shortest ovulation time (11 h) at 27°C was 0.4 mL/kg. The other dose
0.5 mL/kg also gave close values of (300-363°C. h) at incubation temperature of 24-25°C
and ovulation time between 12 and 14.5 h. Relationship between Dose and egg
production were calculated as: Egg wt.=377.04-53.89 ×Dose level (PG), Egg
wt.=32.796–0.255×Dose level (HCG), Egg wt.=-81.90+270.59×Dose level (Ovaprim ).
Regression polynomial equations for relationships between the three parameters were
calculated as: TAP(°C.h)= 282.1457+9.4933 Dose-0.1847 Egg wt. for PG, TAP (°C.h)
= 256.4199+0.0744 Dose+ 1.2113 Egg wt. for HCG, TAP (°C.h)=142.3494+384.1948
Dose-0.1372 Egg wt. for Ovaprim .

Short Communication Exploring malacological observations on iNaturalist: Citizen science as a tool for monitoring freshwater mussels
Authors: S. Unger
Published: December 2024

The aim of the present work was to determine the presence of freshwater mussels on the
citizen science platform, iNaturalist, and present novel information on both threatened
species and non-threatened species within the US. I assessed whether observations
among these groups increased annually and states in which observations were high.
Using this approach, I noted an increase for the amount of observations, and overall there
were more observations for least concern species, with primarily Midwestern states
having more observations, with the exception of Alabama and Texas, and South Dakota
which had a large number of observations. Subsequently, this citizen science platform
and online database may provide an avenue for future malacological monitoring across
Unionidae mussels and serve as a companion to more traditional field surveys in aquatic
ecosystems.
From production to market: Uncovering the complexities of COVID-19's impact on fisheries and aquaculture
Authors: A. Chatterjee , S. Sanyal
Published: December 2024

The emergence of COVID-19 pandemic and associated measures created widespread
socio-economic disruptions globally. This review paper thoroughly scans the
multifaceted challenges withstood by the fisheries and aquaculture industry during the
pandemic. At the production level, fish farms faced troubles in collecting and selling
products that affect live fish stock levels, culture duration and ultimately overall
profitability. Problematic situations in acquiring essential fishing inputs, coupled with
elevating feeding expenses, unavailability of credits created further obstacles. Thus
fishing communities encountered adverse economic consequences with lower fishing
operations, loss of jobs and disturbance in livelihood maintenance. Fisherwomen, key
part of the industry, saw a downfall in catches, impacting their supplemental income. The
pandemic's repercussions extended beyond economic aspects, affecting food security,
nutrition, education and mental well-being within those fishing families. The aquatic
food distribution chain encountered challenges globally from reduced demand, closure
of markets and transportation bottlenecks. Local, regional and global perspectives
highlight the interconnected challenges faced by the industry leading to stockpiling,
increased expenses, and elevated risks. The paper ended by pointing out the urgency of
targeted interventions, collaborative efforts and innovative approaches to rebuild and
enhance resilience in the post-pandemic era. Addressing access to credit, insurance
programs, and gender-specific impacts is crucial for the industry's recovery and future
sustainability.
Evaluating the quality of fried whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) filets coated with quince seed gum containing encapsulated cinnamon extract
Authors: F. Aghababaei , M. Jouki , N. Mooraki
Published: December 2024

This study aims to examine the impact of applying a coating composed of quince seed
gum and cinnamon extract on the reduction of oil absorption and oxidation in white
Pacific shrimp during the frying process. This study dealt with the formulation of edible
coatings incorporating quince gum seed at concentrations of 0.5% and 1%, along with
encapsulated cinnamon extract at varying concentrations of 0%, 0.1%, 0.5%, and 1%.
These coatings were applied to filets to enhance quality preservation throughout the
frying process. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS version 26 software. The
coatings formulated with 1% quince seed gum and 1% encapsulated cinnamon extract
demonstrated superior performance throughout the testing duration. Notably, the
moisture loss in fried shrimp diminished significantly when compared to the uncoated
control samples. Further, the most pronounced reduction in fat oxidation was also
recorded in the above-mentioned samples. The samples that were coated exhibited
enhanced juiciness and improved texture post-frying, while the incorporation of the
coating resulted in a darker hue and increased brightness of the samples. The findings
indicated that the application of the highest quantity of quince seed gum, along with the
maximum level of encapsulated cinnamon extract utilized in this study, significantly
inhibited the formation of primary compounds associated with fat oxidation.
Furthermore, it also reduced the production of secondary compounds when compared to
the control samples, demonstrating the most effective preservation method for
maintaining moisture in the samples.

Published: December 2024

This study examines the complex relationship between financial literacy, economic empowerment, and saving and investing behaviors. Findings reveal that financial knowledge significantly fosters cooperative partnerships and economic resilience but highlight an unexpected negative correlation between economic empowerment and conventional savings. This suggests that empowered individuals often prioritize alternative financial avenues over traditional savings. To address these dynamics, the study advocates for tailored financial literacy programs emphasizing collaboration, community engagement, and resilience. These include modules on group investment, resource pooling, and diversified financial planning. It also underscores the importance of empowering community leaders, leveraging technology for outreach, and integrating microfinance opportunities. Moreover, enhancing education through customized digital resources and collaborations with institutions is proposed to bridge gaps in financial knowledge. The study further recommends promoting balanced savings and investment behaviors by incorporating behavioral finance insights, scenario-based training, and personalized financial planning. Policymakers are urged to use these insights to design inclusive financial literacy programs that align with diverse economic preferences and goals, ultimately fostering long-term wealth building and economic stability.
