Authors: Ferreira Carlos , Cunha-Ribeiro João Pedro , Méndez-Quintas Eduardo 
Published: December 2023

Resumo:A estação paleolítica do Cabeço da Mina (Muge, Portugal) é uma jazida histórica da Arqueologia Portuguesa. Descoberta em 1939, foi aí que se realizaram as primeiras escavações nacionais numa estação de ar livre do Paleolítico Inferior, tendo desempenhado um papel relevante na discussão em torno da atribuição crono-cultural dos achados pré-históricos conhecidos à época na região de Muge. Para além dos materiais acheulenses exumados em estratigrafia (que nunca foram extensivamente caracterizados), depositados no Museu de História Natural e da Ciência da Universidade do Porto, há uma coleção de artefactos líticos provenientes do Cabeço da Mina integrada no acervo do Museu Geológico, resultante de recolhas efetuadas por Henri Breuil e Georges Zbyszewski aquando da sua visita à jazida. No presente trabalho, reportam-se os dados do estudo tecno-tipológico dos respetivos Large Cutting Tools – 41 artefactos, distribuídos entre machados de mão, bifaces, picos triédricos e outros macro-utensílios. Globalmente, são produtos definidos através de sequências operatórias expeditas, o que se considera ser indissociável de uma seleção atenta do suporte, do aproveitamento judicioso das suas características intrínsecas e do grau de conceptualização que se lhes encontra subjacente.Palavras-chave: Baixo Tejo, Acheulense, Large Cutting Tools (LCTs), Cadeia operatória, Suporte, Conceptualização.

Abstract:
Cabeço da Mina (Muge, Portugal) is a historical site of Portuguese archaeology. Discovered in 1939, it was there that the first excavations of an open-air Lower Palaeolithic site took place, playing an important role in the discussion regarding the chrono-cultural assignment of the prehistoric finds known at that time in Muge. In addition to the Acheulean artefacts exhumed in stratigraphy (that have never been extensively published), which are stored in the Natural History and Science Museum of the University of Porto, there is another assemblage from Cabeço da Mina in the Geological Museum. The latter resulted from collections made by Henri Breuil and Georges Zbyszewski when they visited the site, with this paper reporting the data from the techno-typological study of its Large Cutting Tools – 41 pieces, distributed between cleavers on flake, handaxes, trihedral picks and other macro-tools. Overall, these artefacts were defined through expeditious operational sequences, which is considered to be linked to the careful selection of the blank, the judicious exploitation of its intrinsic features, and the degree of conceptualisation that underlies their production.Keywords: Lower Tagus, Acheulean, Large Cutting Tools (LCTs), Chaîne opératoire, Blank, Conceptualisation.

This study uncovered differential gene expression in blood to distinguish subjects with probable Alzheimer’s disease (AD) from normal elderly participants (non-demented controls, NDC). The participants were recruited via training (Phase 1) and validation cohorts (Phase 2). The changes of gene expression in blood samples from the training cohort (92 AD vs 92 NDC) were assessed using the microarray technology. The Partial Least Square Discrimination Analysis (PLSDA) was then used to develop a disease classiﬁer algorithm (accuracy = 88.3%). Six differentially expressed genes were validated through RT-qPCR using blood samples from the validation cohort [(25 AD, 25 NDC, 12 mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and 12 vascular dementia (VaD) subjects] . The PLSDA model indicated a good separation between AD and NDC [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC AUC) = 0.88]. ABCA9, CNOT8, SESN1, UCP3, MAP2K1 and DDIT4 were found to be differentially expressed between the two groups. Validation of the panel of six genes gave an overall accuracy of 82.0% (AUC=0.86). The ABCA9 mRNA level, which was significantly (p < 0.05) lower in the AD group, correctly classified 90.9% of all subjects (AUC=0.94). This group of genes may be responsible for dysregulation of pathways related to inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative injury, DNA damage, apoptosis and lipid metabolism. The disease classiﬁer algorithm discriminated probable AD from MCI and VaD at specificity of 83.3% and 75.0%, respectively. These findings warrant further validation of potential blood-based biomarkers in larger samples of clinical AD.

Human trafficking (HT) can lead to other types of crime, such as kidnapping, smuggling, and drug trafficking. According to the 2021 Global Estimates, the number of victims is rapidly growing and in 2021 stood at 49.6 million, which is almost ten million more than in 2016. This study, a quantitative content analysis of press articles in Germany, demonstrates the dynamics of coverage during the pandemic and quarantine measures. Methodologically we rely on Entman’s (1993) four-functional classification, including portraits of victims and perpetrators, moral judgments, remedies, and calls to action. In addition, the connection between the political orientation of the newspapers and the coverage of the topic is revealed. The results show, that media construct their own reality: They create a stereotypical victim and focus on certain types of HT. The topic is given a strong political connotation, and the boundaries between HT and human smuggling are blurring.

Published: December 2023

The study was intended to assess risk factors associated with overweight and obesity among females residing in Damak municipality. A cross-sectional quantitative study was performed on 202 females of reproductive age (15–49 years) with a structured questionnaire. Measurements like weight, height, and waist and hip circumference were used to determine indicators of overweight and obesity. General obesity was analyzed using the WHO BMI classification, while Waist Circumference (WC) and Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR) analyzed abdominal obesity based on International Diabetes Federation – IDF, and WHO criteria, respectively. Microsoft Office 16 and SPSS Statistics version 20 were used to analyze data. The Chi-square test was used to establish an association between the variables under study.
The study revealed that 31.7% of respondents were overweight, 8.4% were obese, 63.4% were abdominally obese by WC, and 71.8% by WHR. Here, the mean BMI was 25.36±4.56 kg/m2, and the mean WC was 89.69±12.47 cm, with a mean WHR of 0.91±0.09. Age, marital status, family size, parity, sleeping hours, eating pattern, protein intake, and consumption of dairy, eggs, and whole cereals were significantly associated (p<0.05) with overweight and obesity; while age, marital status, education, occupation, family size, parity, and contraceptive use were common factors associated with abdominal obesity (WC and WHR). However, family history, protein intake, and consumption of wheat and eggs were associated (p<0.05) only with WC. The study showed a high prevalence of increased weight among reproductive-aged females in Damak. Thus, being overweight or obese should be viewed as a critical issue. The population should be made aware of the risk factors of obesity.

Published: December 2023

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019) pandemic and its consequences on individuals’ social, economic, and familial lives have negatively affected mental health of the general population especially in a vulnerable individual. In this case reports, we aim to highlight the role of such psychosocial stressors related to COVID pandemic resulting in development of Acute Psychosis. In the first case the stressor is associated with fear of getting infected while in the second case fear of being put into Quarantine. Thus health measures should be employed to address psychosocial stressors, particularly related to the use of isolation/quarantine, infection fear and vulnerability among the general population.
Study of Phytosociological Parameters and Carbon Stock between Two Community Forest of Different Ecological Regions of Udaypur District of Nepal
Authors: Ayer Santosh 
Published: December 2023

This study compared the regeneration status, vegetation diversity, stand structure, and carbon stock of two community-managed forests located in different ecological regions of Nepal. A total of 61 concentric sample plots were investigated by using systematic random sampling with 1 % sampling intensity. The phytosociological parameters of trees and regeneration density were calculated using standard techniques. The aboveground tree carbon was estimated using a non-destructive method. Correlation analysis was performed to assess the variation of carbon stock with biomass, stand density, tree diameter at breast height (DBH), tree height, basal area, and seedling density. Janata community forest (CF) had higher regeneration than the Hazare CF, with a bell-shaped distribution of DBH in Janata CF and an interrupted curve in Hazare CF. Both forests were dominated by Shorea robusta. Hazare CF had higher Shannon diversity index, Simpson's index, and evenness index, while Janata CF had higher carbon stock. The observed differences in the studied parameters between the two community forests can be attributed to the difference in ecological factors such as temperature, rainfall, soil nutrient availability, and management practices. Future studies focusing on investigating the underlying factors driving the observed patterns and relationships, such as the effects of disturbance, climate, and management practices on forest structure and function are also needed. These findings have important implications for forest management and conservation policies, especially in the context of climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation.

Published: December 2023

Background: Ophthalmological examination is an important aspect of the neurological assessment in a patient with traumatic brain injury. However, significant periorbital swelling can make direct visualization of the pupils difficult. Ultrasonic examination can be a valuable bedside tool when direct visualization fails.
Case: A case of a seven-year female child who had presented with a history traumatic brain injury is reported here.
Observations: The periorbital swelling prevented the direct visualization of the eyes. Bedside evaluation with a multipurpose ultrasound (USG) was used to monitor the pupillary diameter (PD) and the consensual pupillary light reflex (PLR) at regular intervals. The PD was measured in the B-mode while the PLR was monitored in M-mode of the USG. The optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) was also monitored as a correlate of intracranial pressure (ICP).
Conclusion: Ophthalmic evaluation of PD and PLR can be easily and objectively done on the bedside using USG especially in cases where the direct visualization of the pupils is difficult due to injuries and swelling of the periorbital tissues. Furthermore, ONSD measurements can also be done to monitor the changes in the ICP.

Published: December 2023

One of the pharmaceutical micropollutants with a detrimental effect on the environment is paracetamol. Mycoremediation of the pollutants is a widely accepted concept based on cost and eco-friendly nature. Fungi isolated from pharmaceutical industry effluent have been used to target the biodegradation of paracetamol. The fungus’s internal transcribed spacer (ITS 1) sequencing matched that of Cladosporium alboflavescens (GenBank accession number OQ977005) by 99.81%. The strain demonstrated 89% biodegradation of paracetamol (1000 ppm) after 96 hours of incubation with 4-aminophenol as the predominant biodegradative metabolite, according to the spectrophotometric and high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis. The half-life of 1.44 days and simple first order kinetics were proposed by the Computer Assisted Kinetic Evaluation (CAKE) tool used to examinethe biodegradation kinetics.

Published: December 2023

In general, audio signals are contaminated with various types of noise. This paper presents a novel signal processing method developed for high-frequency noise elimination using wavelet transforms. As a continuation of a previous study that used Fourier transform for noise removal in audio files, in this study Daubechies wavelets were used to reduce computational complexity and achieve better noise reduction performances. Compared to the Fourier transform, the Daubechies wavelet transform method removes the noise in each signal while preserving its vital characteristics. The suitable level of the Daubechies wavelet for noise removal in each channel was obtained using a trial-and-error approach. It was identified that the ideal range for the level of the Daubechies wavelets for noise removal is between 17 and 20. Moreover, unlike the Fourier transform, the Daubechies wavelet transform demonstrates a proficient capacity in eliminating noise from data point that lies completely outside the rest in the audio data set. Wolfram Mathematica 12.3 software package was used to complete this research. This method can be applied toconserve vintage audio recordings originally recorded in cassettes and spools.
