Evaluación por FTIR de extractos de propóleos de abejas sin aguijón de Bochalema – Norte de Santander
Authors: María Camila María Camila , Chaparro García Amanda Lucía , Torres Sánchez Diana Alexandra 
Published: December 2023

Contextualización: El propóleo es producido por las abejas a partir de resinas recolectadas de brotes o exudados de plantas; se emplea para sellar grietas y reducir el riesgo de enfermedades dentro de la colmena. Las propiedades medicinales del propóleo son bien conocidas, reportándose hasta ahora actividades como antimicrobiana, antiinflamatoria, antioxidante y citotóxica.
Vacío de conocimiento: La composición química del propóleo está estrechamente relacionada con la vegetación cercana al sitio de recolección y la especie de abeja que lo produce. En Colombia, el vacío de información en relación con la composición química de propóleos de las abejas nativas sin aguijón es grande, específicamente en el departamento de Norte de Santander.
Propósito: Evaluación por FTIR de extractos etanólicos de propóleos de abejas sin aguijón de las especies: Scaptotrigona sp., Trigona angustula, Frieseomelitta paupera, colectados en Bochalema - Norte de Santander y comparados con el de Apis mellifera.
Metodología: El propóleo colectado se congeló a -18 ͦC y luego se trituró. Se pesaron 0,25g y se extrajeron con 5ml de etanol al 96 % a temperatura ambiente y se mantuvieron durante dos semanas realizando agitaciones manuales. Posteriormente se procedió a centrifugar, se filtró y se llevó a la incubadora hasta que se eliminó el disolvente. Los espectros ATR-FTIR se obtuvieron en la región de 4000-600 cm-1, resolución 4 cm-1 y 48 scans; se identificaron las bandas donde se muestran las regiones espectrales asociadas a biomoléculas. Posteriormente, se realizó la matriz de datos para el PCA y dendrograma en la región de huella dactilar para orden cero, primera y segunda derivada.
Resultados y conclusiones: Los resultados mostraron que los extractos de todas las especies presentaron bandas que indican la presencia de compuestos fenólicos, hidrocarburos, esteres, además del residuo de cera restante en las muestras. Se concluye que FTIR combinada con quimiometría permiten establecer diferencias y similitudes entre las muestras de propóleos, indicando que las abejas tienen preferencias específicas de las plantas que tienen disponibles para la recolección de las resinas. Adicionalmente, los extractos de Trigona angustula, Frieseomelitta paupera tienen composición similar al de Apis mellifera, y el de la especie Scaptotrigona es diferente.

Published: December 2023

Introduction. In recent years, there has been an increased number of poisoning with drugs that mainly affect the cardiovascular system, including calcium channel blockers. According to foreign literature, insulin therapy is an effective and safe method of treating patients with severe poisoning with calcium channel blockers.Aim. To demonstrate the efficacy of high-dose insulin in severe poisoning with calcium channel blockers.Results. Patient T., 37 years old, took 1000 tablets of nifedipine for suicide 4-6 hours before admission to the hospital. In connection with the development of refractory shock and the ineffectiveness of basic therapy (the intravenous administration of 0.9% sodium chloride solution, calcium chloride (saturated dose), vasopressor/inotropic agents), a decision was made to administer high doses of insulin. After a bolus intravenous injection of insulin, the rate of its intravenous administration was 0.5 U/kg/h and, due to the lack of hemodynamic effect, it was gradually increased in increments of 1–2 U/kg/h at every 15–30 minutes up to a maximum of 8 U/kg/h with constant monitoring of glucose and potassium levels in the blood. As a result, the target hemodynamic parameters were achieved. Then the insulin infusion rate was gradually reduced and, upon achieving hemodynamic stabilization, its administration was stopped 2 days after the start On the 9th day from the moment of hospital admission the patient was transferred from the Intensive Care Unit to the Acute Poisoning Department.Conclusions. The presented case report shows the efficacy and expediency of using the insulin therapy in the developed refractory shock due to severe poisoning with calcium channel blockers.
Геополітична підтримка України в умовах повномасштабної російської агресії
Authors: Чупрій Леонід 
Published: December 2023

У статті розглядається зміна геополітичної картини світу в умовах повномасштабної російської агресії проти України. Зокрема зазначається, що сьогодні посилилася геополітична роль США як світового лідера. Активізувалася також позиція і Європейського Союзу, країни якого активно допомагають Україні. Проте всередині Європейського Союзу існують певні суперечності. Так, країни Східної Європи і Прибалтики активно підтримують Україну, оскільки розуміють, що якщо Україна впаде під ударами Росії, то вони також можуть зазнати нападу з боку останньої. Але країни Західної Європи, зокрема Німеччина й Франція, займають дещо поміркованішу позицію, а Угорщина проявляє проросійські симпатії, хоча є членом ЄС та НАТО. Значну фінансову і військову допомогу Україні надає також і Великобританія, яка сьогодні стала одним із найактивніших наших союзників. Китай як авторитарна країна, яка знаходиться в стані суперництва зі США, займає проросійську позицію, але робить це насамперед з метою реалізації власних національних інтересів. Щодо країн глобального Півдня, то більшість з них займають нейтральну позицію, намагаючись не втручатися в конфлікт. Проте міжнародна допомога Україні поступово зростає, оскільки навіть країни глобального Півдня починають розуміти, що підтримувати країну-агресора – Росію, яка перетворюється на геополітичного вигнанця, не варто.
Ключові слова: російсько-українське збройне протистояння, повномасштабна війна, геополітика, розпад Росії.

Preservation Scenarios for Post-War Concrete Architecture: The Case of Lithuania
Authors: Černauskienė Aušra 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Post-war concrete architecture is a valuable part of the 20th-century heritage spread worldwide with specific preservation challenges. This paper analyses three possible preservation scenarios: conservation, comprehensive upgrade, and adaptive reuse based on a broad legacy of post-war concrete architecture in Lithuania and the sustainability aspect. Even though several significant concrete objects are listed, they are protected very formally, and no comprehensive preservation is applied.
Lived Experience in the “Naturalistic” Paradigm: Implementing Empirical Phenomenology with Expert Participants for Neurocinematics
Authors: Rosic Jelena 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
When studying subjective reports in neuroscience, data that are more easily quantifiable understandably hold more appeal due to the methodological complexities involved with in-depth approaches (second-person interview techniques and analyses) that require extended training of a researcher but also epistemological regard for the problem. A methodological direction for neurocinematics that could better capture the complexities inherent in the experience of film-viewing is to treat distinct domains of the neurocinematic phenomenon, the film stimuli, related subjective accounts, and their neural correlates as co-constitutive in the data analysis. The present proposal outlines an empirical phenomenology approach in the naturalistic paradigm with film stimuli building on the neurophenomenological ideas of pragmatically approaching the relationship between neurocognitive processes and phenomenological accounts. Using the micro-phenomenological method as a guide, i.e. non-naïve introspection (“becoming aware”) with a trained interviewer, the objective is to emphasize the process of accessing lived experiences for systematic second-person investigations. Such in-depth subjective reports have the potential to yield fine-grained descriptions of the participants’ experience related to (free) viewing of films as opposed to relying on naïve introspections (“just ask”) or easily quantifiable assessments that lack complexity (“just look”) and are prone to bias due to the simplification of experience. Building up a case for empirical phenomenology through the methodological demands of its framework, the illustration of the micro-phenomenological method serves to underscore the non-trivial nature of accessing and reporting experience and its role in the neurocognitive domain.
Embodied Figuration and Character Emotion in Cinema: The Role of Embodied Affective Cues
Authors: Jackson Brad 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This paper engages with research on embodiment, cognition, and figurative meaning in cinema to develop a system for categorizing the cinematic cues that viewers use to gauge character affective experience. Many film theorists whose work is primarily focused on affective experience consider the relationship between the spectator and the character’s facial and bodily expressions. However, films often convey the affective states of characters by integrating bodily expressions with cinematic techniques, such as lighting, framing, and editing. These cinematic techniques can provide insight into a character’s affective states through their figurative associations with represented moods, feelings, and emotions. By exploring the metonymic, metaphoric, and similative properties of cinematic representations of affect, we can better understand how cinematic representations are understood by a community of viewers. Throughout this paper, I put forth the framework of “embodied affective cues” and identify behavioral, physical, and environmental cues to address how a character’s affective experience is represented by cinematic cues external to their body.
Shaping Films from the Inside Out: Embodied Mental Schemas in Filmmaking and Viewing
Authors: Coëgnarts Maarten 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis article aims to highlight the role of embodied mental representations or embodied schemas in both perception and filmmaking/viewing by foregrounding three premises: (1) perception is inferential and relies on prior embodied schemas; (2) filmmakers (authors) do not merely reproduce reality but equally impose body-based schemas onto the parts of a film in order to convey meanings; and (3) these schemas, as presented by the formal design of the work, may enrich the viewers’ experience by allowing them a privileged look into the embodied creative-thinking processes of filmmakers. It will be argued that viewers are prompted to peek into these processes because the representational embodied concepts, as cued by the films, are grounded in shared sensory-motor capacities that scaffold all abstract thinking and reasoning.
Virtual Representations and Their Ethical Implications
Authors: Mcnamara Robert 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This paper will address ethical concerns surrounding the representation of vulnerable groups as well as the methodological challenges inherent in using artificial intelligence and human-like computer-generated characters in human studies that involve representing such groups. Such concerns focus on consequences arising from the technological affordances of new systems for creating narratives, as well as graphical and audio representations that are capable of portraying beings with close resemblance to humans. Enacting such virtual representations of humans inevitably gives rise to important ethical questions: (1) Who has the right to tell certain stories? (2) Is it ethical to change the medium of a narrative and the identity of a protagonist? (3) Do such changes, or technological mediations, affect whether a vulnerable group will be fairly and accurately portrayed? (4) And what are the implications, either way? While the backdrop of the paper involves discussing the potential of virtual representation as a meditative tool for moral and social change, the ethical implications inherent in the use of new cutting-edge technologies, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Unreal Engine’s MetaHuman, to create human-like virtual character narratives call for theoretical scrutiny from a methodological perspective.

Authors: Kuchmerovska Tamara , Yanitska Lesya , Horkunenko Oksana , Guzyk Mykhailo , Tykhonenko Tetiana , Pryvrotska Irina 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Objective. The study was performed to elucidate whether nicotinamide (NAm) can attenuate the diabetes-induced liver damage by correction of ammonia detoxifying function and disbalance of NAD-dependent processes in diabetic rats.

Methods. After four weeks of streptozotocin-induced diabetes, Wistar male rats were treated for two weeks with or without NAm. Urea concentration, arginase, and glutamine synthetase activities, NAD+ levels, and NAD+/NADH ratio were measured in cytosolic liver extracts. Expression of parp-1 gene in the liver was estimated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and PARP-1 cleavage evaluated by Western blotting.

Results. Despite the blood plasma lipid peroxidation products in diabetic rats were increased by 60%, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was reduced. NAm attenuated the oxidative stress, but did not affect the enzyme activity in diabetic rats. In liver of the diabetic rats, urea concentration and arginase activity were significantly higher than in the controls. The glutamine synthetase activity was decreased. Decline in NAD+ level and cytosolic NAD+/NADH ratio in the liver of diabetic rats was observed. Western blot analysis demonstrated a significant up-regulation of PARP-1 expression accompanied by the enzyme cleavage in the diabetic rat liver. However, no correlation was seen between mRNA expression of parp-1 gene and PARP-1 protein in the liver of diabetic rats. NAm markedly attenuated PARP-1 cleavage induced by diabetes, but did not affect the parp-1 gene expression.

Conclusions. NAm counteracts diabetes-induced impairments in the rat liver through improvement of its detoxifying function, partial restoration of oxidative stress, NAD+ level, normalization of redox state of free cytosolic NAD+/NADH-couples, and prevention of PARP-1 cleavage.
How Domestic Violence Associates with Work and Family Conflicts by Religiosity Among Married Persons
Authors: Olasupo Matthew O. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Previous studies have investigated different psychological factors predicting domestic violence. However, there has been limited research on the roles of work and family conflicts i.e., work-to-family (WFC) and family-to-work (FWC) conflicts and religiosity. This study, therefore, probed the predictive role that work, and family conflicts enforce on domestic violence among selected persons who are married in Osun state, Nigeria and also investigated the indirect effect of religiosity in the association. A cross-sectional research design consisting of 220 married persons (Mean age = 35.40, SD = 5.87, Females = 58.6%) responded to the domestic violence scale (DVS), work and family conflict scale (WFCS), and religiosity scale (RS). Results of the hierarchical regression analysis revealed a significant predictive effect of family-to-work conflict (FWC) on domestic violence among married persons. The study also found that religiosity plays a significant predictive role in domestic violence among married persons. The mediation analysis using Hayes PROCESS Macro indicated that the link between FWC and domestic violence was partially mediated by religiosity as the direct effect, total effect and indirect effect of this association are all significant. The study, therefore, concluded that FWC has a direct significant impact on domestic violence and that religiosity plays a significant part in the link between FWC and domestic violence among married persons. The study recommended that religious leaders should further provide guidance on managing family-related conflicts among married persons.
Impact of Urban Slum Violence on Work in Slum Areas of Port Harcourt, Nigeria
Authors: Badom Porbari Monbari , Ndeeue Kuapie 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Regular violence pervades the slums in Port Harcourt, a metropolitan city where people inhabit for the purpose of work, among other reasons. The curiosity to understand the relationship of work with this violence is felt by the researchers who, from the review of relevant literature, observed that intellectual response to the issue dealt with political violence and effects on social development. The researchers therefore observed an existing gap in knowledge of the relationship between urban slum violence and work in the slum areas of Port Harcourt. Four research hypotheses were posed to guide the study. The study adopted the social disorganization theory in the explanation of the variables of the study. Simple random sampling method was adopted in the selection of the respondents of the instruments of the study, and some slums in the city were selected randomly. The study adopted cross-sectional research design and generated data through survey. The data for the study was generated through the administration of structured questionnaire and Focus Group Discussion. Sample size of 400 was determined by the Taro Yamane statistics. We analyzed data of the study using descriptive statistics. Thus, chi-square statistics was utilized in testing the hypotheses of the study. The qualitative data were organized into conceptual themes and categories. The study concluded that urban slum violence hinders school activities, business activities, fishing activities and employment opportunities for people in the slum areas of Port Harcourt. Thus, the study established that urban slum violence has a negative impact on work in the slum areas of Port Harcourt. Hence, policy recommendations were made.
