Objective
The rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remains a global concern. In Nigeria, the current prevalence of CVD was 76.11% with its attendance burden. The CVD risk perception of individuals is a precursor to the desired lifestyle modification necessary for CVD prevention and management. This study assessed the CVD risk perception and sociodemographic determinants among rural and urban dwellers in southwest Nigeria.

Methods
The study employed a convergent parallel mixed-methods design involving concurrent data collection. The participants’ CVD risk perception was obtained using the Perception of Risk of Heart Disease Scale (quantitative data) and a validated focus group discussion (FGD) guide (qualitative data). Quantitative analysis was completed using descriptive statistics, Phi, Cramer’s V, and multivariate linear regression, while the FGD was thematically analysed.

Results
The quantitative study involved 1,493 participants (62.4% women) with a mean age of 46.90±15.65 years, while the FGD involved 53 participants (52.8% women) with a mean age of 50.10±13.5 years. Over a quarter (28%) of the participants had a poor CVD risk perception; the mean score was 44.40±8.07. Rural residents had a significantly poorer CVD risk perception than their urban counterparts (Mean difference = -3.16, p<0.001). Having tertiary education (β = 0.100, p < 0.001), living in urban areas (β = 0.174, p<0.001), and living in Lagos (β = 0.074, p = 0.013) and in Oyo, other than Ogun state (β = -0.156, p<0.001) significantly predicted having a good perception of CVD risk. FGD produced three themes: knowledge about CVD, CVD risk factors, and CVD prevention.

Conclusion
Participants had a fair understanding of the causes and prevention of CVD. Yet, a substantial portion underestimated their own risk of developing CVD, particularly rural dwellers and people with lower education. More public health education is required to improve the CVD risk perception in southwestern Nigeria.

In the age of noticeable climate change, enduring high temperatures is becoming a serious problem and inconvenience, which can cause health problems and even lead to death. One way to counteract the negative effects of heatwaves is to use an indoor air-conditioning system – both in residential building and in workplaces. The purpose of the article is to find an answer to the question posed in the title of the publication of whether access to an air-conditioned room can be considered, on the basis of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, to be a human right. The considerations are divided into two segments: the right to air-conditioning in the workplace as part of the employer’s provision of safe and hygienic conditions, and the state’s responsibility for counteracting the negative effects of climate change. Indeed, it turns out that the Polish constitution makes it possible to conclude that the state has a certain obligation to provide places of rest from the heat in a situation where it threatens health and life. The article presents selected solutions for counteracting the effects of hot weather in European cities where high temperatures are more frequently recorded than in Poland. In addition, it presents the scope of the obligation to ensure adequate comfort at work in conditions with a high air temperature that also falls on employers. The aim is to draw attention to the important issue of how public authorities can counteract the negative effects of global warming. Indicating solutions used in other countries, it seeks an appropriate way for public authorities to act in Poland.

Abstract
The effects of hydrolysis of muskmelon pomace on fruit juice recovery efficiency, transmittance, total phenolic content, total ascorbic acid content, total flavonoid content, and total carotenoid content have been studied. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential use of pectinase enzyme in the hydrolysis process, specifically looking at the effects of pH, temperature, time, and enzyme concentration on the production of effective muskmelon juice. Additionally, the optimal mixing ratio of ingredients such as melon juice content, Brix level, citric acid, and additives (pectin, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose [CMC], xanthan gum) was investigated to create a high-quality muskmelon juice product. The results showed that using a pectinase enzyme concentration of 0.2%, a pH of 5.0, and a hydrolysis temperature of 45°C for 120 min resulted in a muskmelon juice product with a hydrolyzed juice content of 20%, a Brix level of 12%, and a citric acid addition rate of 0.04%. The addition of xanthan gum at a rate of 0.03% also contributed to the desired flavor and color of the juice. These findings provide valuable insights for the development of effective muskmelon juice processes.
Lectura Dantis Inferno XXI: Ein Zwischenspiel der Karsamstags(un)genauigkeit
Authors: Rauchhaus Moritz 
Published: November 2024

Riassunto
Il ventunesimo canto dell’Inferno è spesso considerato un interludio che presenta diavoli invece di peccatori umani. La scelta di questo inserimento è stato oggetto di discussione: Perché Dante lo inserisce a questo punto, per beffare i suoi accusatori (siccome secondo loro sarebbe finito proprio in questa bolgia della baratterìa) o per sottolineare il carattere comico della sua Commedia? Questa Lectura cerca di interpretare il canto come l’espressione della situazione liturgica in cui Dante e Virgilio si trovano, cioè il Sabato Santo. Il canto contiene una datazione precisa del viaggio di Dante, che però, pur dedicandogli una terzina intera, non nomina mai il giorno di nome proprio (»Ier, più oltre cinqu’ore che quest’otta / mille dugento con sessanta sei / anni compié che qui la via fu rotta«, 112–114). Questo gioco fra la certezza e l’incertezza, fra il visibile e l’invisibile e fra il detto e il nascosto caratterizza il Sabato Santo che, in questo canto, non è solo citato ma rievocato. La comicità del canto, che comincia con le parole »mia comedìa« (2) e finisce con la flatulenza di un diavolo (139), dunque non funziona come contrasto alla severità del resto del viaggio ma diventa una parte integrale della Commedia.
Un fabbro, un asinaio, una donna di Verona
Authors: Pirovano Donato 
Published: November 2024

Zusammenfassung
Zu den ältesten und bekanntesten Beispielen für eine frühe volkstümliche Dante-Rezeption gehören zwei von Franco Sacchettis Trecentonovelle und eine Passage aus Giovanni Boccaccios Trattatello in laude di Dante. In Sacchettis Novellen 114 und 115 reagiert Dante auf einen Schmied und einen Eseltreiber, die Verse aus seiner Commedia verunstalten. In seiner Dante-Biographie erzählt Boccaccio eine Anekdote aus Verona, in der eine Frau glaubt, Dante habe eine dunkle Haut und einen krausen Bart, weil er in der Hölle ein und aus gehe. Der vorliegende Beitrag versucht, in diesen Texten Anhaltspunkte für das Erscheinungsdatum der Commedia zu finden.
The role of the insider translator in conservation and development: comparing multilingual (auto)ethnobotanical books from Tanzania, Thailand, and Taiwan
Authors: Sterk Darryl Cameron 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This article compares recent multilingual (auto)ethnobotanical books from Tanzania, Thailand, and Taiwan in terms of the role that the “insider translator” might play in linguistic, cultural, or environmental conservation or development. The books were motivated by similar concerns, but differed in the backgrounds of the authors, including translators and compilers. How did the backgrounds of the authors – as cultural outsiders or insiders – condition the form and content of the (auto)ethnobotanical books? What approach to authorship might be most effective for achieving the intended aims of the (auto)ethnobotanists? Based on textual analysis, interviews, and fieldwork, the main findings are as follows. The interlingual translation in the Tanzanian and Thai cases was unidirectional out of the local language, because the compilers, who were outsiders, were more concerned about the conservation of endangered languages, cultures, and environments. There was no division of labor between compiler and translator in the Taiwanese case, and the translation was bidirectional, because the authors were committed to the development of their language. It stands to reason that an autoethnobotanical effort, one made by cultural insiders, to conserve traditional plant knowledge or develop an ancestral language would be more effective than an ethnobotanical one; but the long-term effectiveness of any of the multilingual (auto)ethnobotanical books needs further comparative research.

Abstract
A monthly correlation between urban vegetation growth and potential evapotranspiration (PET) is needed for better knowledge of controlling water resources and organized irrigation processes. This study aims to explore their relationship within an urban area like Baghdad, using a linear regression model to derive a best-fit line drawn in a scatterplot on a monthly time scale. Based on two different monthly data sources: weather variables (e.g., air temperature, solar radiation, and relative humidity) and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery of 2 years, 2018 and 2021, this study presented the interannual variations of PET and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). The choice of these years has a significant feature of climatic differences, which are arid and semi-arid, respectively. PET values were estimated by the Truc method, while the areas of vegetation (represented by NDVI) were calculated using the Geographic Information Sensing program. The results show that the maximum PET in both years was found in the summer months (June and July) with mean values of about 8.8 mm/day, while their minimum mean values of about 1.5 mm/day occurred in winter months (January and December). From the spatial distribution of NDVI, it was found that at positive pixels when NDVI >0.2, vegetation cover in March, April, and December 2018 had large areas with more than 200 km2 in 2018, while they were largest only in May 2021 with 197.8 km2. There was a linear correlation with slope (0.03) and intercept (= 1.8) and a strong correlation, R
2 = 0.72. The practical implications of the findings contribute to enhancing a solid scientific basis for improving agricultural water management, especially under dry conditions.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is a brain cancer with a poor prognosis. Failure of classical chemotherapy and surgical treatments indicates that new therapeutic approaches are needed. Among cell-free options, exosomes are versatile extracellular vesicles (EVs) that carry important cargo across barriers such as the blood–brain barrier (BBB) to their target cells. This makes exosomes an interesting option for the treatment of glioblastoma. Moreover, exosomes can comprise many therapeutic cargos, including lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, sampled from special intercellular compartments of their origin cell. Cells exposed to various immunomodulatory stimuli can generate exosomes enriched in specific therapeutic molecules. Notably, the secretion of exosomes could modify the immune response in innate and adaptive immune systems. For instance, glioblastoma-associated exosomes (GBex) uptake by macrophages could influence macrophage dynamics (e.g., shifting CD markers expression). Expression of critical immunoregulatory proteins such as cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-1 (CTLA1) and programmed death-1 (PD-1) on GBex indicates the direct crosstalk of these nano-size vesicles with the immune system. The present study reviews the role of exosomes in immune system cells, including B cells, T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and dendritic cells (DCs), as well as novel technologies in the field.
Distinguishing Between Models and Hypotheses: Implications for Significance Testing
Authors: Trafimow David 
Published: November 2024

In the debate about the merits or demerits of null hypothesis significance testing (NHST), authorities on both sides assume that the p value that a researcher computes is based on the null hypothesis or test hypothesis. If the assumption is true, it suggests that there are proper uses for NHST, such as distinguishing between competing directional hypotheses. And once it is admitted that there are proper uses for NHST, it makes sense to educate substantive researchers about how to use NHST properly and avoid using it improperly. From this perspective, the conclusion would be that researchers in the business and social sciences could benefit from better education pertaining to NHST. In contrast, my goal is to demonstrate that the p value that a researcher computes is not based on a hypothesis, but on a model in which the hypothesis is embedded. In turn, the distinction between hypotheses and models indicates that NHST cannot soundly be used to distinguish between competing directional hypotheses or to draw any conclusions about directional hypotheses whatsoever. Therefore, it is not clear that better education is likely to prove satisfactory. It is the temptation issue, not the education issue, that deserves to be in the forefront of NHST discussions.
Characterization of different samples of the gypsum mineral from the Araripe gypsum Pole: from macro to micro with Rietveld refinement
Authors: Souza Edjan de Castro , Pessoa Oliveira Raquel Aline , De Vasconcelos Ferraz Andrea 
Published: November 2024

The gypsum mineral is composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate and has as its main application the production of gypsum plaster. In the deposits of the Araripe gypsum pole there are, in natura, different varieties, identified by the names: "Johnson", alabaster, "estrelinha", "cocadinha", "rapadura" and "boró". The characterization of the varieties of gypsum in fracture was performed by SEM and the characterization of the powder was performed by FRX and DRX. By FRX, the presence of CaO was detected with a weight range of 42.5% to 47.1%, and SO3 with a weight range of 48.1% to 53.2%. By XRD analysis, the majority gypsum phase was identified, with the presence of the crystalline planes characteristic of the mineral. From the refinement by the Rietveld method a X2 result between 0.86 and 1.11 was obtained, and it was possible to obtain information about the microstructure of the gypsum varieties and their unit cell.

As bacias hidrográficas vêm sofrendo crescente degradação ambiental, como falta de vegetação ciliar e erosão das margens dos rios. É fundamental que tais regiões sejam monitoradas para se dispor de um levantamento integrado que permita a manutenção de sua qualidade. Este trabalho visou avaliar a qualidade das águas das nascentes da bacia hidrográfica do rio Coruripe, no litoral sul de Alagoas, Brasil. Para as análises da água, foram avaliados os seguintes parâmetros: aspecto, gosto, odor, cor verdadeira, temperatura, pH, alcalinidade, dureza total, turbidez, condutividade elétrica, sólidos totais dissolvidos, demanda bioquímica de oxigênio, fosfatos totais, nitritos totais, nitratos totais, sulfatos totais, cloretos totais, ferro total e coliformes (totais e termotolerantes). Ao comparar os resultados obtidos com as referências padrão de qualidade preconizadas na resolução do Ministério do Meio Ambiente (CONAMA) 357/2005 e/ou na portaria do Ministério da Saúde 2.914/2011, verificou-se que, exceto para o pH, os parâmetros físico-químicos de todas as amostragens apresentaram valores compatíveis com os limites estabelecidos para classe 2 de águas doces. A maioria das amostras apresentou bactérias do grupo coliformes, mas em nenhuma detectou-se coliformes termotolerantes, que são os relacionados a contaminação fecal. O cálculo do índice de qualidade de águas permitiu classificá-las como de qualidade boa e razoável, concluindo-se que as nascentes atenderam aos padrões de potabilidade da legislação brasileira. Portanto, o manejo adequado é muito importante, assim como ações mitigadoras para áreas já impactadas da bacia hidrográfica, incluindo políticas municipais que visem à preservação e aumento do fluxo dos cursos d’água.

Published: November 2024

O presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar os sintomas musculoesqueléticos em atletas de padel, e investigar se existe associação dos mesmos com o tempo de prática na modalidade. Nesse estudo transversal, foram incluídos praticantes de padel, de ambos os sexos, de 18 a 40 anos de idade, no qual responderam um questionário, incluindo dados pessoais e aspectos do treinamento. Para avaliação dos sintomas musculoesqueléticos, os atletas responderam ao Questionário Nórdico de Sintomas Musculoesqueléticos (QNSM), acerca de disfunções musculoesqueléticas nos últimos 12 meses. Como resultados, foram incluídos 54 praticantes de padel, com média etária de 39,7±8,42 anos, sendo 63% do sexo masculino. Também foi identificado que 37% dos participantes apresentaram algum sintoma musculoesquelético, e os locais mais acometidos por dores foram a região lombar (59,3%), os ombros (50%) e os joelhos (46,3%) respectivamente. Grande parte dos atletas (87%) com maior tempo de prática não referiu sintomas de dor cervical, enquanto que, naqueles com menor tempo de prática, quase a metade referiu sentir dor nesse segmento corporal (45,7%). Concluímos que a prevalência de queixas musculoesqueléticas é alta nesta amostra de atletas estudados, destacando a região lombar como a mais significativa. Ademais, os atletas mais experientes apresentaram menos queixas cervicais do que os mais iniciantes. Com base nesses resultados encontrados, sugere-se a criação de estratégias preventivas, considerando o nível de experiência dos atletas.

Este artigo tem como objetivo traçar o perfil epidemiológico de indivíduos com DOPM atendidos em um centro de referência de lesões bucais na Bahia, Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, retrospectivo, de corte transversal. Para compor a população deste estudo, foi utilizada a técnica de amostragem do tipo não probabilística, por conveniência. Sendo assim, foram incluídos no estudo os indivíduos com as desordens orais que estiveram em atendimento no Centro de Referência de Lesões Bucais da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana, entre o período de 2021 a 2023. Com posse dos dados, procedeu-se com a análise descritiva no software SPSS, versão 22.0. Duzentos e setenta e cinco indivíduos compuseram a amostra final desta pesquisa. A maioria era do sexo masculino (52,7%), de cor/raça parda (44,4%) e não apresentavam o hábito de beber álcool ou fumar. A lesão mais prevalente foi a queilite actínica (47,6%), seguida da leucoplasia (26,5%). A exposição solar sem proteção foi a condição mais prevalente (65,8%) entre os indivíduos com as desordens. A queilite actínica foi a desordem que apresentou maior número de casos encontrados na amostra, tal resultado pode ser justificado pelo alto índice de radiação solar na região onde foi realizada a pesquisa. A cor/raça mais prevalente foi a parda, podendo ser explicado pela prevalência destes na região da Bahia.

New approaches to the right to be heard in relation to the application of alternatives to administrative sanctions
Authors: Skulová Soňa , Bražina Radislav 
Published: November 2024

The right to be heard is one of the key instruments that ensure adequate protection of the participants´ rights during the proceedings before the administrative authority. This requirement is especially important in administrative offences proceedings due to fact that administrative bodies may issue also very serious sanctions and it is important to enable the offenders to influence the outcome of proceedings. Therefore may participants raise their objections, opinions, suggestions. The authors also focus on issues related to the possibility of alternative approaches to administrative sanctions and related issues concerning ensuring adequate position of offender. These questions have not yet attracted doctrinal attention. Article analyses the currently accepted new legislation on administrative offences proceeding, with overlaps resulting from the Council of Europe documents and including basic comparison with the processing on administrative offences in Germany and Poland. In addition, to the basic analysis of the new legislation benefits, the authors pay attention to the new instrument of “legal settlement” that allows administrative authorities to approve agreement between offender and injured party about committed administrative offence and the associated remedy. The new institute is worthy researching, particularly because it is one of the first attempts to adopt alternative approaches to administrative offences proceedings and brings new challenges for administrative authorities. This new institute is compared with the legislation in Germany and Poland. Also methods of analysis of legal requirements of legal documents of Council of Europe and national legislation, normative analysis, literature review and deduction were used in this connection. Authors reached a rather interesting conclusion that the approaches to ADR in administrative offences proceedings are in all three examined different while the article deals more closely with these differences.
