Simposio 13: Prediabetes y cerebro
Authors: Díaz Gustavo 
Published: October 2023

La prediabetes es un problema grave, pero reversible, caracterizado por hiperglucemia e insulinorresistencia1. En esta enfermedad se observó un declive de la función de las células β debido a cambios metabólicos, epigenéticos y alteraciones a nivel de su biología celular (incluyendo transdiferenciación, estrés del retículo endoplásmico, autofagia y apoptosis), lo que conduce a una menor disponibilidad de la insulina y factores de crecimiento insulinosímiles en el sistema nervioso central, los cuales regulan la neuroplasticidad y la neurogénesis cerebral2. Pacientes con prediabetes mostraron menor rendimiento en algunos test neurocognitivos y esto se asoció con el inicio del deterioro cognitivo1.
El deterioro cognitivo comienza con disminuciones cognitivas sutiles, lentas y progresivas, más graves en adultos mayores (≥65 años). Este estado de declive y pérdida de las funciones mentales superiores no es una consecuencia inevitable de envejecer; muchos nonagenarios y centenarios poseen sus funciones cognitivas conservadas. En un estudio de autopsias de personas mayores de 90 años basado en la población de EE. UU., casi la mitad de las personas con demencia no tenía suficiente evidencia neuropatológica para explicar sus síntomas cognitivos3.

ÇANAKKALE SAVAŞLARINDA COĞRAFYANIN ETKİSİ
Authors: ILGAR Rüştü 
Published: October 2023

Coğrafya ile savaşlar arasında çok sıkı bir ilişki bulunmaktadır. Tarihi süreçte coğrafim yapı sıklıkla savaşların güçlük derecesi ve fetihlerle ilişkilendirilmiştir. Savaşlar sırasında coğrafi faktörler kimi zaman taraflara engelleyici olurken, kimi zaman da kolaylaştırıcı birer etken olmuştur. Coğrafi mekânın sahip olduğu özellikler yani “jeopolitik unsurlar” yeryüzünde savaşların dağılışında önemli etkilere sahip olmuştur. Coğrafi faktörlerin önemini bilmek, savaş yerinin coğrafyasına uygun taktikler uygulamak her zaman bir avantaj olmuştur.
Çanakkale Savaş alanlarının coğrafyası yani yeryüzü şekilleri, iklimi, bitki örtüsü, eğimi, akarsu ağı şebekesi, toprak yapısı, deniz akıntıları vb. savaşın oluşum ve gelişiminde çok etkili olmuştur. Çanakkale Savaşları’nda dünyanın en büyük askeri birlikteliklerine güçlükler oluşturmuş, Türk'lerinse coğrafyayı iyi bilmeleri ve hâkim olması, genellikle coğrafi faktörlerden yararlanarak başarılı stratejiler geliştirmelerine ve savaşın gidişatını değiştirmelerine kolaylık sağlamıştır. Coğrafya bilgi desteği ile uygulanan stratejiler, Türk azmi ve kararlılığı ile birleşince savaşın gidişatını değişmiştir. Sonuç olarak İtilaf Devletleri her anlamda daha üstün olduğu bu savaşı jeostratejik acizlik ve coğrafyayı yeterince bilmediklerinden dolayı kaybetmek zorunda kalmışlardır.

Specific issues that were studied are; the impact of average household size on household food security, the level of household food security and the effect of household size on household food security ‟household food security and whether household size affects household food security.
Methodology: A purposive sampling and simple random sampling method for the study was used to select houses in each cell for the distribution of the questionnaire. Questionnaires and interview guide served as the main tools for data collection. The study targeted a sample population of 300 respondents out of which 60 participants were drawn from the small family and the other 240 from the large family in the study area.
Findings: The findings indicated that, large family size puts an extra burden on food consumption and is more likely to experience food insecurity in contrast to households with a small and average family size. Large households, with more young or school-going children, also tend to fall below the poverty line and vulnerable to food insecurity. The results further revealed financial problems, lack of parental care and poor heath as the challenges faced by large families.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: This study contributes to the understanding of the relationship between household size and household food security so that policy makers can plan for an ever growing human population especially in the rural and peri-urban areas. The study recommends the need for intensive education on population related matters for parents and various incentives packages to families with smaller sizes.

TRATAMENTO DE IMAGENS DE SATÉLITE PARA GERAÇÃO DE INDICADORES DA DESERTIFICAÇÃO
Authors: Oliveira Daniel Da Silva , De Lima Eduardo Rodrigues Viana , Cardoso Eini Celly Morais , Segundo Neto Francisco Vilar De Araujo , De Medeiros Joseilsom Ramos 
Published: October 2023

Para o estudo da desertificação, diversos fatores têm que ser considerados, tanto em relação aos aspectos físicos, como aos aspectos sociais, econômicos, de infra-estrutura, etc, todos eles através de uma análise multitemporal. Sendo assim, esse é um fenômeno ao qual se aplica com grande propriedade o uso de técnicas de geoprocessamento e de sensoriamento remoto, no sentido de identificar as áreas que estão sendo afetadas, e que fatores estão exercendo maior contribuição para isso. A área de estudo encontra-se loca-lizada no Estado da Paraíba na mesorregião da Borborema, inserido na sub baica hidro-gráfica do Alto Paraíba no cariri paraibano. Essa área abrange os seguintes municípios: Amparo, Barra de São Miguel, Boqueirão, Camalaú, Caraúbas, Congo, Coxixola, Mon-teiro, Ouro Velho, Prata, São Domingos do Cariri, São João do Cariri, São João do Ti-gre, São Sebastião de Umbuzeiro, Serra Branca, Sumé e Zabelê. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como estudo de campo e apresenta alguns fatores em relação principalmente aos le-vantamentos, por desenvolver no próprio local em que ocorrem os fenômenos, seus re-sultados costumam ser mais confiáveis (GIL, 2010). Este trabalho teve por objetivo, criar uma base de dados das áreas de estudo que possa ser utilizada no monitoramento do processo de desertificação; assim como utilizar técnicas de geoprocessamento e de sensoriamento remoto para avaliar as alterações na cobertura vegetal e no uso do solo, e gerar indicador relacionado a esses fatores; avaliar a contribuição dos produtos de sen-soriamento remoto utilizados; comparar os resultados obtidos com indicadores socioe-conômicos gerados em outro plano de trabalho relacionado com o mesmo estudo. O método está caracterizado como pesquisa de campo, baseou-se no uso de técnicas de processamento digital de imagens orbitais (TM-Landsat-5) no software SPRING, com o objetivo de gerar imagens-índice de vegetação (Índice de Vegetação da Diferença Nor-malizada – IVDN e em inglês NDVI), que representa um bom indicador da situação da cobertura vegetal, reflexo das formas de como a população está intervindo no meio através das atividades econômicas. Através dessas técnicas foi possível fazer uma análi-se multitemporal da situação da cobertura vegetal, considerando o uso de imagens orbi-tais dos anos de 1989, 2005 e 2010. Os resultados mostraram que na área de estudo, de um modo geral, houve uma perda de cobertura vegetal, fato que pode indicar que está ocorrendo o processo de desertificação, e que é preocupante. Nas três datas estudadas (1989, 2005 e 2010) houve uma diminuição significativa da vegetação arbustivo-arbórea fechada. Considerou-se que o início de um período prolongado de escassez de chuvas não prejudicou a geração dos resultados, porque o fenômeno estava em sua fase inicial.

Authors: Rishko O. A. , Prusakov A. V. , Yashin A. V. 
Published: October 2023

The aim of the study was to establish the effect of probiotic supplements "HydroLaktiV" and "Multibacterin" as part of the treatment and prevention regimens of gastrointestinal diseases of calves on the level of protein metabolism.The study was conducted on newborn calves, of which three groups were formed according to the principle of analogues: one control (group 1) and two experimental (group 2 and group 3). Animals of all groups were kept in identical conditions. From the fourth day of life until the age of sixty, calves of all groups, according to the scheme adopted in the experimental farm, were fed kefir prepared with the use of the enzymatic feed additive "GastroVet", from the age of ten the animals began to be accustomed to coarse feeds by laying out first-class hay and starter feed (KK-62) in feeders. Additionally, the calves of the second experimental group were added to kefir with a feed additive "HydroLaktiV" at a dose of 15.0 g per head twice a day, and the calves of the third experimental group received the biocomplex "Multibacterin" at a dose of 1.0 ml per 10.0 kg of body weight twice a day.Blood collection from the studied animals was carried out from the jugular vein 30 minutes before feeding in compliance with the rules of asepsis and antiseptics. Blood serum was used for biochemical studies. The latter were performed on a Clima MC-15 semi-automatic analyzer, taking into account the following indicators: total protein, albumin, α-, β- and γglobulins.It has been established that the use of probiotic feed additives "HydroLaktiV" and "Multibacterin" as part of the treatment and prevention regimens of gastrointestinal diseases of calves has a positive effect on the normalization of protein metabolism, manifested in the maintenance of homeostasis, restoration of humoral immunity of animals after illness, as well as normalization of digestion and metabolic processes.
A Sapphic Ode by Thornton Wilder: A Previously Unpublished Playlet
Authors: Roessel David , Leaverton Eva 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The manuscript of A Sapphic Ode exists in the Thornton Wilder Papers at the Beinecke Library at Yale University and is published here for the first time. This article contends that the playlet is a response to the discovery of papyrus fragments of Sappho at Oxyrhynchus, Egypt, in 1914. The playlet is of interest for two reasons. It shows Wilder engaging with a recent archaeological discovery, and how archaeology can be a part of literary history. It also shows a young Wilder creating a comedy with a contemporary setting, which differs in tone from the short plays he later collected in 1928 in The Angel That Troubled the Waters and Other Plays. The main intent of this article is to make this short play available to scholars and readers so that it becomes part of the discussion of how Thornton Wilder developed as an author.
Enhancement of Mechanical Behaviour of Functionally Graded Viscoelastic Materials Parts Reinforced by Hybrids Nanoparticles
Authors: Njim Emad Kadum , Hadi Fadhel Abbas , Alhilo Naeem Abdulmohsin 
Published: October 2023

This paper studies the mechanical behavior of functionally graded material viscoelastic (FGVE) products employed in automotive, chemical industry, and biomedical appliances. Various experimental models describe and simulate nanobeams with viscoelastic layers subjected to tensile loading, 3-point bending, tear, and impact. All specimens were prepared using the 3D printing method. Tensile, hardness, tear, impact, and bending specimens reinforced with different volume fractions (1-5)% of Al2O3, TiO2, and a hybrid of the nanomaterials Al2O3 /TiO2 were arranged via a mixing process with an extruder and then fabricated by a 3D printing machine. The experimental results of maximum bending load, midspan deflection, impact, and tear resistance were validated by finite element methods (FEM) with the assistance of commercial software (Ansys Workbench 2021 R1). Furthermore, the influence of various parameters on the mechanical performance of reinforced samples has been thoroughly investigated, for example, volume fraction index, nanoparticles content, and FG properties. Based on the findings, the most successful results were obtained by adding 1.5 % Al2O3 and 3% TiO2 hybrid nanoparticles. The experimental and numerical results were in reasonable agreement. The discrepancy did not exceed 10.25% for maximum bending load and no difference over 5% for maximum impact load, indicating that the strengthened nanoparticle specimens were properly fabricated. Also, a significant improvement in mechanical and viscoelastic properties was achieved by incorporating hybrid nanoparticles. Flexural bending load increased by about 17 % with hybrid nanoparticles, while tear resistance increased by 27.5 % and impact resistance increased by 7.5%.

Understanding the healthcare issues of Afghan refugees settling in rural Victoria, Australia
Authors: Kelly Kaitlyn , Jones Linda K. 
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Hazaras have experienced prolonged and repetitive marginalisation, stigmatisation, persecution and conflict as a minority ethnic group in Afghanistan for their linguistic, religious and ideological differences. As a marginalised group they are a product of generally poor socioeconomic and health status with resultant ill effects. Hazaras make up the largest group of refugees who have resettled in Victoria, particularly Shepparton. Part of the reason for this is that the region supports the largest food-based manufacturing industries in the country and so there are good work opportunities for those that do not have recognisable skills with limited English.Aim: To explore the health care issues and challenges of Hazara located in Shepparton, Australia.Results: The literature review identified that the Hazara community have multiple physical and psychological health needs most likely a result of the trauma and torture when in Afghanistan, plus from the often, dangerous journey to Australia and then from what is usually prolonged periods in immigration detention centres. On top of this are the challenges that occur with their resettlement including language and cultural differences and low health literacy as well as lack of understanding of health services in Australia. All creating barriers to access.Discussion: The recommendation is to outline the rationale and process for the development of Health Hub (HHH) for the Hazara community within Community Health @ GV Health, the major community health centre in Shepparton, Victoria. Through fostering strong relationships between the Hazaras and their primary care team in consultation with the Hazara community will, therefore, ensure the outcomes are tailored to their individual needs and help improve their health outcome.
