Authors: Kibkab Emebet , Berhane Nega 
Published: April 2024

Purpose: The objective this study was to evaluate nitrogen fixation effectiveness, survival and compatibility of the isolates of on two different soils that came from Dabat and Shentia sites at Gondar, Ethiopia. The author recommends that the isolates test their nitrogen fixing potential under field conditions in slightly acidic and neutral soil before being used as commercial biofertilzer inoculants. The present study provides potential nitrogen fixer input for agricultural research centers.
Methodology: Soil physicochemical analysis and most probable number were done according to their standard procedure. Three top strains were selected as inoculants for faba beans grown on the slightly acidic Shentia soil and the slightly neutral Dabat soil with their control. The symbiotic effectiveness of the strains was evaluated based on plant agronomy and total nitrogen of the plant. The results of the strains analyzed by SPSS version 26.
Findings: The highest rhizobium population size was 5.8 x102 cells g-1 soil, while the lowest was 1.7 x102 cell g-1 soil observed at the Dabat and Shentia sites, respectively. There is limited nitrogen and phosphorus content other were enough. It was significant difference inter-strain difference in the all agronomic parameter of all treatments in soil compared to each based on agronomic parameter, but across soils there was no significant different except shoot fresh weight. The result of these studies showed that two Rhizobium leguminosarum bv.viciae isolates and other combinations of them had considerable effect on agronomic properties.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The application of biological nitrogen fixation through Rhizobium inoculums is promoted as a solution to the problem of poor soil fertility in areas where legumes are cultivated. In most of the developing countries, including Ethiopia, biological nitrogen fixation technology has not fully flourished, so this study was initiated to evaluate fixation potential of isolates.

Published: April 2024

Sudan ranks among the top 20 Sub-Saharan countries facing electricity shortages, affecting approximately 20 million people as of 2020. Political and economic instability led to an increase in the electricity deficit, reaching over 62% in 2021, an 8% rise from 2019. Thermal power stations in Sudan, which contribute 37% of the electricity supply, encounter operational, maintenance, and fuel procurement challenges. They rely on various fuels, including liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), light diesel oil (LDO), and heavy fuel oil (HFO), with fuel procurement difficulties amid declining oil production.
This study explores the potential of using natural gas instead of the conventional crude oil-based fuels listed above. Natural gas is known for its cost-effectiveness and lower greenhouse gas emissions, offering a cleaner alternative. The study involves the calculation of total gas volumes, flared gas, and operational costs for diesel and natural gas, with an evaluation of their compatibility with the operational requirements of thermal power generation units.
The study reveals that upgrading existing thermal stations to a combined cycle system and transitioning to natural gas can reduce costs by 52% compared to diesel operations. The study also demonstrates that the annual gas requirement for operations is approximately 245 billion cubic feet, which is higher than the local production, indicating the need for importing liquified natural gas (LNG).

Authors: Surajit Mohanty  
Published: April 2024

In this paper, YOLO algorithm is used for detecting crack by incorporating machine learning approach utilized for predicting concrete strength and possible crack in critical infrastructure caused during mining operation. Over time, those fissures become more noticeable until they finally collapse. Big data is accumulating huge amount of data by utilizing remote sensing, earth penetrating RADAR, LiDAR, GPS, and satellite image data for large-scale operations. The performance of the proposed approach is compared with other state-of-the-art algorithms, such as, YOLO V3 and YOLO V8. To investigate the performance, four performances metric like mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), relative standard error (RSE) and root relative squared error (RRSE) has considered. It is found that our approach is giving superior results in term of the compared performance metrics. Moreover, non-parametric statistical testing, such as, signed test, Wilcoxon Rank test and Friedman's test has been conducted to verify the dominance of proposed approach over others.
Masks

Published: April 2024

The mask is the classic disguise. But as alter ego, it reveals as much as it conceals. Why are masks so often creepy, even outside of horror movies? Can a mask change expression while you’re wearing it? How much of someone’s self can inhabit a mask? Why would anyone make a plaster cast of a dead person’s face? And, really, who was that masked man? Masks unmasks the answers to these frequently (m)asked questions and more.
Masks are the materials for a world of make-believe, from the theater to Halloween, from masquerades to Scooby-Doo. Masks can take on magic or ritual powers. They can preserve and transmit memory. Masks are a makeover tool for appearance and identity, from spa treatments to drag to superheroes. What all these different functions have in common is the mask as physical metaphor, a mirror of the self and society. In another layer of metaphor, our words for ourselves as individuals (“person”) and for our self-presentation to society (“persona”) both derive directly from the Latin word for mask.
Masks explores one of humanity’s oldest cultural objects, traveling from prehistoric remains to ancient Roman funeral processions to Mardi Gras to masked doppelgangers on stage and screen. Its examination of masks across time and the globe sheds new light on the totemic power masks have developed, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: April 2024

A reconstrução imediata da mama consiste na associação de técnicas para restabelecimento da forma mamária no mesmo tempo cirúrgico da ressecção tumoral. Ela diminui as sequelas físicas e psicológicas que a mastectomia isolada causa em um primeiro momento e permite maior integração, tanto da paciente com o seu tratamento, quanto entre os membros da equipe médica assistente. A discussão das técnicas cirúrgicas a serem empregadas pela mastologia e pela cirurgia plástica, nessa abordagem conjunta, é de extrema importância para o resultado final e tem consequências significativas na aceitação das pacientes em todo o processo. Os casos clínicos apresentados ressaltam que a avaliação conjunta, desde o pré-operatório, é determinante para um melhor resultado, estético, funcional e psicológico. São detalhados aspectos técnicos que influenciam na decisão do tipo de reconstrução a ser feita. Sobretudo, substitui-se a angústia de mutilação pela expectativa de um tratamento para retirar a lesão e deixar um bom resultado estético que, em alguns casos, é até melhor do que havia anteriormente.
A GUERRA FRIA INTERAMERICANA: A PARTICIPAÇÃO DA DITADURA MILITAR BRASILEIRA NO GOLPE CONTRA SALVADOR ALLENDE
Authors: Crivelaro Neto Deolindo 
Published: April 2024

Este artigo tem por finalidade abordar a relação do Brasil com o Chile durante o governo Salvador Allende e Augusto Pinochet, passando pelo golpe militar que acabou com a chamada “via chilena para o socialismo”. Inicialmente, pretende-se afastar a ideia de neutralidade do Brasil em relação aos demais países sul-americanos. Para tanto, com fundamento em documentos oficiais, busca-se comprovar que o Brasil atuou de forma direta em países da América da Sul, objetivando combater o suposto avanço do comunismo no continente. Já especificamente em relação ao Chile, busca-se discorrer no artigo sobre a influência do governo brasileiro no golpe sofrido por Salvador Allende em 11 de setembro de 1973. Segundo SIMON, o governo brasileiro teria duas motivações para apoiar o golpe em face do governo de Salvador Allende. A primeira seria uma motivação geopolítica, no sentido de evitar a instalação de um regime socialista na América do Sul. A segunda motivação seria de ordem doméstica, já que a maioria dos exilados políticos brasileiros se encontravam em território chileno. Nesse sentido, por meio de documentos oficiais relatados no artigo, comprova-se o apoio brasileiro e americano à elite e ao exército chileno para concretização do golpe em face de Salvador Allende. Além disso, de forma ainda mais explícita, é demonstrado no artigo o apoio do governo brasileiro à junta militar chilena após a deposição de Salvador Allende, tendo em vista o envio de itens para o atendimento de necessidades básicas (soro, remédio, bolsa de sangue, alimentos, etc.), material bélico, concessão de linha de crédito, transferência de recursos financeiros, bem como pelo fato do Brasil ter sido o primeiro país à reconhecer os golpistas como o governo chileno legítimo Por fim, o artigo traz indícios da partição do governo brasileiro em atos de violação aos direitos humanos em território chileno.

Published: April 2024

O futebol society é um esporte complexo, que exige do praticante o desenvolvimento de várias capacidades físicas e motoras, necessitando a aquisição de uma boa aptidão física. Existem duas abordagens para se avaliar a aptidão: uma é relacionada à saúde e a outra, ao desempenho motor. A aptidão física ligada ao desempenho motor está relacionada aos atributos necessários para melhorar a execução das atividades físicas. Diante da importância de se avaliar a aptidão física, o presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a aptidão física relacionada ao desempenho motor de adolescentes praticantes de futebol society. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo descritivo de corte transversal, com adolescentes do sexo masculino de 12 a 16 anos, praticantes de futebol society de forma regular há pelo menos três meses. Foi realizada uma bateria de testes do Manual Projeto Esporte Brasil, a fim de verificar a aptidão física dos adolescentes. Após a aplicação dos testes, foi possível encontrar resultados satisfatórios em relação à potência dos membros inferiores e agilidade, resultados medianos para velocidade, membros superiores e resistência muscular localizada, bem como resultado negativo para o IMC dos avaliados. Diante disso, conclui-se que os adolescentes possuem uma boa aptidão física em geral, porém algumas capacidades físicas se mantiveram abaixo do esperado, necessitando de maior atenção, a fim de melhorar o desempenho na atividade, assim como colaborar para o crescimento e desenvolvimento adequado.

Published: April 2024

Introduction: treadmill exercise training is one of the most investigated non-pharmacological treatment options for experimental brain ischemia. However, the cholinergic system is essential for improving motor behavior responses.
Objective: to analyze the effects of a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist (1, 2, and 4 mg/kg) on the motor behavior of ischemic gerbils subjected to forced treadmill training.
Methods: in this experimental study, 72 gerbils, weighing 65–80 g, were divided into eight groups: Sal, Ni1, Ni2, Ni4, I, INi1, INi2, and INi4. Behavioral assessment was initiated 24 hours after the last motor stimulation on the treadmill. Rotarod test (RR) was employed to analyze animal behavior. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and the Newman-Keuls post hoc test evidenced differences detected between groups.
Results: data regarding the RR test revealed decreased time spent on the RR apparatus for the Ni1, Ni4, and I group compared to the Sal and Ni2 groups. However, the INi1 and INi2 groups showed increased time spent compared with the ischemia and INi4 groups (F7,64=4,63; p<0,05).
Conclusions: the present study indicates that treadmill training with a concomitant 1 and 2 mg/kg of nAChR agonist effectively improves the behavior of ischemic gerbils.

Authors: Valencia-Contrera Miguel , Rivera-Rojas Flérida , Febré Naldy 
Published: April 2024

Introduction: prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, workers were exposed to psychosocial risks that were aggravated, negatively impacting their health. This has generated a boom in its study; however, theoretical ambiguities persist. Objective: to explain the theoretical ambiguity present in the study of psychosocial risks at work.Methods: the analytical article explores the theoretical ambiguity of psychosocial risks in the workplace. It incorporates various sources of information, including classical authors and contemporary approaches. Additionally, the authors offer critical insights and provide considerations for future research in the field.Result: there is a theoretical-conceptual ambiguity in the study of psychosocial risks at work. It is recommended: 1. To generate less abstract conceptual proposals to address semantic confusion and lack of taxonomic clarity. 2. Adopt an interdisciplinary conceptual approach that includes perspectives from psychology, sociology, and occupational health nursing. 3. Incorporate qualitative methodologies instead of continuing to use quantitative approaches, questioning the appropriateness of measuring a construct with traditional methods that have theoretical omissions. 4. develop unifying theoretical proposals.Conclusions: there is an urgent need for integrative theoretical proposals. In the opinion of the present authors, these proposals should have a low level of abstraction and include interdisciplinary perspectives that transcend psychology and sociology, as well as use qualitative methodologies
