A nanotecnologia está se tornando um dos principais recursos para o desenvolvimento e inovação em diferentes áreas. As nanocápsulas são capazes de uma penetração mais profunda na pele e qualidade aumentada dos produtos cosméticos, melhorando a distribuição do composto bioativo, controle da liberação, acontecendo a distribuição gradual da substância e maior proteção do composto bioativo contra possíveis degradações provenientes do meio. Assim, as nanocápsulas apresentam-se como novo e eficiente sistema de liberação de ativos no alvo. Dentre os compostos bioativos destacam- se os compostos fenólicos presentes no café. A polpa do café é um dos principais subprodutos durante seu processamento. A composição química do café constitui um parâmetro fundamental na distinção das diferentes variedades deste produto, devido a sua composição química, os subprodutos já são usados popularmente para a estética, na pele e cabelo. No entanto, o uso popular dos extratos de plantas não é suficiente para atestar sua segurança e uso. Estudos devem ser realizados em ensaios in vitro e in vivo, certificando sua ação biológica para o aproveitamento na saúde humana. Sendo assim, no presente estudo os compostos fenólicos foram extraídos dos grãos de café arábica e conilon, bem como das folhas e borra de diferentes marcas de café, além da determinação da atividade antioxidante dos extratos livres e encapsulados visando a aplicação dos extratos em creme, shampoo e sabonete previamente preparados. Foram realizadas análises comparativas com aplicativo PhotoMetrix® e espectrofotômetro ultravioleta- visível (UV-Visível) para investigação do teor de compostos fenólicos e potencial antioxidante dos extratos das amostras de café livres e encapsulados. Também foi avaliada a interação do extrato com a nanocápsula por espectroscopia de Infravermelho (FTIR). Os resultados mostraram maior atividade antioxidante da nanocáspula com extrato do grão de café conilon. Os extratos aplicados nos cosméticos apresentaram boa estabilidade, sem sinais de degradação durante 90 dias. O desenvolvimento do trabalho agregou valor aos resíduos da polpa e borra de café e expandiu as possibilidades de aplicação dos extratos de café nos cremes hidratante, shampoo e sabonete.

Companies must be selective in conducting employee assessments in order to retain employees with the best performance. When assessing employee performance, it is seen from their perseverance and discipline. However, in reality, good employee performance sometimes gets bad reviews and even gets reprimanded by their superiors. This is caused by the employee assessment monitoring system used, namely only personal assessment without using an assessment system and the data collected is less than optimal. This research uses the Naive Bayes method to process data using a data mining algorithm to obtain predictions that can be used as additional references in making employee performance assessment decisions. Aims to predict employee assessments of contract extensions at PT Sagateknindo Sejati. This research is important because it helps in making more accurate decisions regarding employee contract extensions based on existing historical data. Naive Bayes is a data processing algorithm that is classified as a calculation that is easy to understand but its accuracy results are reliable. It is used because it is efficient in managing data with various attributes and is able to produce predictions based on the probability of each existing attribute. The data used in this research includes various variables, using the Rapidminer supporting application to test the accuracy of the system created. Testing was carried out by preparing 320 data and testing 50 randomly selected data. Test data will be analyzed using the Rapidminer supporting application.

Background: Increased blood pressure and glucose levels are becoming the primary causes of death and disability in non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which are a significant public health concern. The prevalence of diabetes and hypertension is rising in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It is important to identify patients with these conditions early in the disease process. This study aimed to evaluate the health status of participants in a community-based screening program in Rangpur City Corporation. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conduct to prevent and control of major chronic non communicable diseases through early identification and proper management of hypertension and diabetes. Convenience sampling technique was adopted to select 7352 respondents. Data were collected through face-to-face interview using a semi structure questionnaire. Results: Among 7352 participants, 93.4% were not registered with the Hypertension & Research Centre Rangpur. The age distribution was diverse, with 24.3% over 60 years and 15.5% below 30 years. Women made up 58.7% of the participants. Disease categorization showed 54.2% had no disease, 22.9% had hypertension (HTN), 13.3% had diabetes mellitus (DM), and 9.7% had both DM and HTN. Screening revealed 67.2% had normal blood sugar levels, while 15.9% had prediabetes and 16.9% had diabetes. Blood pressure measurements indicated 73.5% had controlled systolic blood pressure (SBP), with 26.5% having uncontrolled SBP, and 18.81% had uncontrolled diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Among those reporting no DM or HTN, 7.81% were found to have raised blood sugar levels, and 6.48% were newly diagnosed with hypertension, resulting in 7.21% of previously undiagnosed respondents being newly diagnosed with either condition. Conclusion: Our study focused to find hypertensive patient and diabetic patient who did not know and had uncontrolled DM & HTN. It also draws attention to the potential proportion of undiagnosed cases. More specifically, it calls for additional efforts focused on referral of at-risk patients after detection. This study will help to utilize existing services complemented by innovations needed for a systematic approach to NCD detection and linkage to care at the community level that lends itself to improving early detection, scale-up and measures for sustainability.

Torna-se relevante destacar que as formas de resistência a esse mercado produtivo são intrínsecas às paisagens da cidade e do campo, em quintais produtivos, chácaras, quilombos, entre outras formas de uso e ocupação do espaço geográfico, diversificando as maneiras com as quais a sociedade se relaciona com a natureza. Neste artigo, pretende-se discutir o processo de implantação e estruturação de uma cidade “plantada” na fronteira agrícola no norte do estado de Mato Grosso (MT), especificamente a cidade de Sinop, para posteriormente entender se ela pode de fato ser classificada como uma cidade do agronegócio. Para isso, fez-se uso de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, principalmente de dados do IBGE e pesquisa de campo para a análise da paisagem urbana, tendo em vista que o principal foco é a cidade. Espera-se que este texto possa contribuir para o avanço das discussões inerentes à cidade em questão, em especial sobre o seu papel polarizador na região em que está inserida.

Authors: Wang Run , Weina Li
Published: August 2024

The texts have been selected from 45 articles of 15 units of Selected Readings of Business English and from prominent economic English newspapers in China and the United States—China Economic Net and The Economist. Employing the vocabulary corpus software, Range 32, we conducted a statistical examination of vocabulary coverage and the frequency of corresponding terms in the British National Corpus (BNC). This rigorous analysis aims to ascertain whether the content of the textbook aligns with the requisites of specific professional tests. Additionally, it serves to assist students and learners of Business English in China by aiding them in identifying suitable English-language reading materials. This research provides a valuable reference, guiding individuals toward reading newspapers that align with their vocabulary proficiency in English. The study findings indicate that to attain a fundamental comprehension of the reading materials, achieving a 95% vocabulary coverage requires a command of 4,000 to 5,000 vocabulary words for Selected Readings of Business English, 4,500 to 5,000 vocabulary words for China Economic Net, and 5,000 to 6,000 vocabulary words for The Economist. For a more fluent reading experience, corresponding to a 98% vocabulary coverage, a mastery of 7,500 to 8,000 vocabulary words is necessary for Selected Readings of Business English, 8,500 to 9,000 vocabulary words for the China Economic Net, and 10,000 to 11,000 vocabulary words for The Economist. And this study suggests that the vocabulary thresholds for Business English majors should be 4,000 to 6,000 (95% vocabulary coverage) and 8,000 to 11,000 (98% vocabulary coverage).

A prevalence of studies on online self-disclosure exists in foreign countries. In Africa, studies on online self- disclosure are fast gaining popularity; however, there is still a paucity of academic enquiries on online self-disclosure among men within the Nigerian context, particularly in Southeast Nigeria. This study, domesticated in Nigeria, interrogated the why, gains and uses of Facebook for self-disclosure among men in Southeast Nigeria. Anchored on the Uses and Gratifications theory, the study exclusively espoused quantitative research approach, using Survey and Content Analysis. Questionnaire and Coding Sheet served as the instruments for data collection. A simple random sampling was employed to select 500 male respondents, aged, 18-35, from the population of men in Southeast (4,907,731), while manifest Facebook self-disclosure of these men was meticulously studied, and content analyzed. In terms of Facebook use for self-disclosure, results revealed that these men frequently disclose educational contents, career/workplace identity; recreational activities/leisure; social events and others on Facebook. While addressing the 'why' of Facebook self-disclosure, it was established in this study that the men in southeast are mainly motivated to engage in the disclosure, with the aim of storing meaningful personal information. Other reasons include keeping up with social trends; sharing information and providing solutions to issues; engaging in self- presentation/identity construction; managing relationships; and showing off/displaying self-worth. However, storage of meaningful information remains predominant as their major reason for self-disclosure. The gains they derive from Facebook self- disclosure comprise online networking with people/social connections; building of self-esteem /status enhancement; self- expression/ narcissism; social identity/ popularity within social networks; initiating and maintaining relationships/dating; and sharing and accessing new information about people and events. Among these gains, self-expression cum narcissism was dominant. It is concluded that Facebook use is a prominent online activity among men in Southeast Nigeria. The study also upholds that Facebook is a significant medium of social communication where users gain or fulfill certain gratifications through self-disclosure.

It is obvious that students with albinism confront a lot of challenges in school despite their right to education and how society perceives them. In this paper, problems associated with students with albinism particularly their eyes and skin have been discussed. The study also discussed strategies for the protection of students with albinism, special education, and promoting their health and for African political economy and confronting emerging development challenges. Though, albinism is an inherited condition with high prevalence in populations throughout Africa and Nigeria in particular, what is the family perspective with regards to children with albinism since they are extremely sensitive to the damaging effect of the sun on their skin? The impact or challenges of albinism are particularly serious in areas that associate albinism with myth and tradition which leads to stigmatization and discrimination in the school and even society in general. The paper also discussed conflicts of rights and the right to their education. The conclusion was made whereby, society as a whole must become aware that stigmas and negative attitudes have a significant effect on the social, emotional, and psychological aspects of children with albinism's quality of life. Therefore, through this framework, it was concluded that students with albinism need to be supported particularly with technological devices, and by giving appropriate counseling intervention that could improve their psycho- emotional well-being and emerging development challenges.
Tratado Thomson-Urrutia al Victoria- Vélez

El presente artículo tiene como finalidad analizar como los Estados Unidos se tomó el derecho, de forma unilateral, para negociar el límite fronterizo de Panamá con Colombia durante la segunda y tercera década del siglo XX, afectando a la postre el derecho soberano de Panamá a concertar sobre el establecimiento y demarcación de su frontera con Colombia. La injerencia imperialista de los Estados Unidos en la delimitación de la frontera de Panamá con Colombia constituyó una violación a la soberanía y autodeterminación de Panamá como estado soberano para decidir en asuntos tan importantes y trascendentales como la negociación y establecimiento de sus fronteras. La misma constituye una muestra más de cómo la política exterior de los Estados Unidos moldea el escenario latinoamericano según sus necesidades, caprichos o prioridades, como lo constituyó la reconciliación diplomática con Colombia a raíz de la independencia de Panamá en noviembre de 1903. Reconciliación que tenía como trasfondo el de poder acceder a recursos naturales colombianos, como eran las recientes reservas de petróleo descubiertas en Colombia y que representaban un recurso vital para la continua expansión imperialista del coloso del norte.

Authors: Pineda Rodríguez Luis Alfonso
Published: August 2024

El presente artículo busca demostrar la utilidad y pertinencia del esquema de movidas retóricas para la caracterización lingüística, enseñanza y aprendizaje de cartas profesionales, géneros discursivos altamente empleados en el ámbito profesional. Por medio del estudio de un corpus de 125 cartas de aplicación laboral, redactadas a partir de un modelo, por alumnos de Ingeniería en Operaciones y Logística Empresarial de la Universidad de Panamá, se identificaron y describieron las movidas retóricas y estrategias discursivas empleadas en las cartas, estas se contrastaron con el modelo retórico utilizado y se estableció la proporción de cartas que lo siguieron y, por ende, cumplieron con su propósito comunicativo. Los resultados arrojaron que un 79% de las cartas del corpus cumplieron con el modelo por lo que las diferencias en su calidad se observaron en las estrategias discursivas dentro de las movidas. Se concluyó que seguir el modelo de movidas permitió a los alumnos concentrarse en producir cartas de mejor calidad con la posibilidad de cumplir su propósito comunicativo en un contexto profesional real. Estos resultados demuestran que el modelo aquí propuesto es válido para explicar, enseñar y aprender las particularidades del lenguaje y comunicación de las distintas culturas profesionales del quehacer humano moderno.
