One of the environmental sustainability issues is salinity. Basil seedlings (Ocimum basilicum L.) were treated using NaCl solutions of three different concentrations prepared using irrigation (40, 80, and 130 mM), and various biochemical analyses were performed on basil leaves. The number of leaves, leaf area, moisture, weights, and MDA content of basil decreased significantly as salinity levels increased from 40 to 130 mM; however, dry matter increased. As well, the current study investigated a significant increase in osmolytes (including total soluble sugars and proline) and Na+ contents. The highest activities of CAT and SOD in the leaf tissues of basil were recorded after treatment with 130 mM NaCl, whereas the polyphenol and total flavonoid contents were negatively influenced. On the other hand, the highest ABTS scavenging activity was observed in the 40 mM-treated leaves at a concentration of 1000 µg/mL; however, the DPPH scavenging potential increased significantly in the 80 mM-treated leaves at 3000 µg/mL. Furthermore, the correlation between in vitro antioxidant potentials and biochemical responses was described. A strong correlation was identified between the in vitro antioxidant capacities of salinized O. basilicum leaves and SOD activity, total flavonoids, and the presence of phenolic acids, particularly p-hydroxybenzoic and o-coumaric acids at various concentrations. As a result, this is the first study to explain how basil may resist salinity by producing specific antioxidant compounds; therefore, our research recommends use of salinity issue to obtain a better plant material for producing dietary supplements or herbal drugs.

Stelis breviloba (Orchidaceae, Pleurothallidinae), a new species from Mexico
Authors: Solano Rodolfo , Salazar Gerardo A. 
Published: June 2023

Background: Stelis subgen. Physosiphon is basically a Meso-American group, and its best-known species is Stelis emarginata, characterized by its reddish orange flowers and distribution along the Gulf of Mexico slope in Mexico and Guatemala. Morphologically similar specimens from the Sierra Madre del Sur, on the Pacific slope of Guerrero and Oaxaca could represent a different and undescribed taxon.
Question: Are the Sierra Madre del Sur populations similar to Stelis emarginata a different species?
Study site: Sierra Madre del Sur in Guerrero and Oaxaca, Mexico.
Methods: The description of the new species was based on live and pressed specimens; a line drawing and photographs were made from fresh material; its known localities were georeferenced and displayed on a map of Mexico. A morphological comparison of the new taxon with similar species was done based on specialized literature.
Results: Stelis breviloba is described and illustrated as a new species from southern Guerrero and Oaxaca. It differs from S. emarginata by its shorter plants, less floriferous racemes, smaller flowers, oblong petals, and its allopatric distribution, restricted to the Pacific slope of the Sierra Madre del Sur. A key for the identification of the Mesoamerican species of Stelis subgen. Physosiphon is provided.
Conclusion: Stelis breviloba is an endemic of the Sierra Madre del Sur and probable vicariant species of S. emarginata. Most species of Stelis subgen. Physosiphon (six out of eight) are present in the Mexican flora.
La autodestrucción de Madame Bovary: hacia una economía política del goce
Authors: Garrido Violeta 
Published: June 2023

El presente artículo razona sobre la construcción de la subjetividad de Emma Bovary, situando en el discurso amoroso enunciado por ella los fundamentos de su individualidad, que son profundamente modernos. En paralelo, se efectúa asimismo una lectura social de la insatisfacción permanente que caracteriza al personaje, analizando los aspectos de su sensibilidad que coinciden con la lógica de acumulación perpetua instaurada, también en el plano de la subjetividad, por el sistema de producción capitalista. El objetivo principal es contextualizar sociohistóricamente las problemáticas planteadas en la obra de Flaubert y estimular la reflexión sobre el papel ambivalente de su protagonista.

Heráclito y la vía de la interioridad
Authors: Neuman Lorenzini Rosario , Torrijos Castrillejo David 
Published: June 2023

En Heráclito se encuentran algunos elementos atrayentes para los lectores modernos por cuanto apuntan a cierta intimidad de la conciencia. Proponemos una lectura de los fragmentos de este filósofo armonizando sus afirmaciones sobre la universalidad con sus palabras sobre el conocimiento de sí mismo, en el cual creemos ver un descubrimiento de la autoconciencia. Para Heráclito, el serhumano posee un alma de ilimitado horizonte y en condiciones de acceder al logos que guía toda la realidad: debe recorrer la vía de la interioridad, prestar oído al logos y hallar en él la unidad de sí mismo y de las demás cosas. Podría revelarse aquí una comprensión de la interioridad de la autoconciencia sin detrimento de su acceso a lo universal. Asimismo, el hombre debe decirse a sí mismo el logos para obrar conforme a él. Comportarse de otra manera significaría actuar en contra de la propia interioridad.

Study purpose. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effects of post-activation potentiation/post-activation performance enhancement (PAP/PAPE) warm-up protocols on swimmers’ performance.
Materials and methods. The searches were carried out on the electronic database PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and EBSCO platforms. Studies from 2010 to May 2022 related to PAP/PAPE and its effect on swimming performance in swimmers aged between 18 and 35 were included.
Results. Nine of 333 studies were included in this review. In two studies, peak thrust improved by 13% to 19% for PAP vs non-PAP and by 3% on performance. One study showed improvements by 10% on speed and speed fluctuation in 25 m all-out PAP vs non-PAP. Rate of force development (RFD) 15 m maximum effort was higher for dry land warm up (DLWU) than swimming warm up (SWU). One study had higher velocity in 5 m for repetition maximum warm-up (RMWU) and eccentric fly-wheel warm-up (EWU) vs SWU. One study demonstrated enhancements for upper-body PAP (UBPAP), low-body PAP (LBPAP) and MIX (UBPAP/LBPAP) vs warm up based on general exercises (GEN) in time to 25 m freestyle (T25FS). Two studies found improvements for band squats PAP compared to swimming specific warm up (SSWU) in time to 15 m. One study demonstrated that PAP trial (PAPT) was faster than control time trial (CTT) in 50 m and 100 m freestyle trial. Dive velocity (DV) was faster for RMWU/EWU vs SWU. One study showed significant increase in power vertical force (PVF) and power horizontal force (PHF) after the PAP vs SSWU.
Conclusions. PAP/PAPE is one more tool that can be beneficial if adapted to the conditions of swimmers, controlling fatigue levels, where it is performed (land or water), and most importantly, described by many coaches, the specificity of movement.

Published: June 2023

Background: Schizophrenia is a major mental health problem in the world that requires more attention. Patients with schizophrenia are at higher risk of poor psychological well-being and violent behaviors as expression of anger and delusion. Mindfulness alone is considered less efficient so it needs to be developed with technology, as such further technological development regarding its application is needed.Objective: This study aimed to determine the effects of spiritual mindfulness intervention through the SI-DEPAPU application on the ability to control anger and perform activities of daily living (ADL) among schizophrenic patients.Methods: This study used a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design with a control group. The samples were 60 schizophrenic patients randomly selected and divided into two groups. The intervention group was given four sessions of mindfulness in two weeks through the SI-DEPAPU application. This study used the anger management ability questionnaire developed by Sadipun et al. (2018) to measure the patient's ability to control anger and the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) questionnaire by Wilkinson (2016) to measure ADL. The instrument was tested for its validity among 20 schizophrenic patients with a risk of violent behaviors, and the results were valid and reliable in which the r-count r-table (0.444), the control group was given standard hospital care.Results: The results showed that the patient’s ability to control anger and perform ADL increased with p=0.000 and p=0.005, (p = 0,000 0,05) respectively. The intervention group had a higher mean score than the control group.Conclusion: Mindfulness spiritual interventions through the SI-DEPAPU application could help schizophrenic patients control anger and increase their ADL.

Background: Depression is characterized by persistent sadness and a lack of interest or pleasure in previously rewarding or enjoyable activities. It is very important to identify the factors predisposing to depression among paramedical students. The main objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of depression and the factors associated with depression among the paramedical students.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was done among all the 208 paramedical students studying in MES using a predesigned questionnaire along with Beck’s depression inventory tool to identify depression. Chi-square test and multivariate regression analysis were used to find the association between variables.
Results: The prevalence of depression was found to be 24.5%. 11.54 % of the total study participants have borderline depression, while 10.58%, 1.92% and 0.48 % had moderate, severe and extreme form of depression respectively. Chi square test showed type of family, course of study, smoking habits, traumatic events in the past, bad interpersonal relationship, concern regarding the future were found to be statistically associated with depression. In multivariate analysis, bad interpersonal relationship between friends and family members (OR= 3.13), worrying about the future (OR=6.03) and those who never sought any form of help for mental stress (OR=1.5) were the risk factors identified.
Conclusions: Course selection, type of family they came from, any traumatic events in the past, lack of interpersonal relationship between friends, worrying about the job opportunities after completing the course, not seeking help for mental stress were the factors contributing towards depression.

Published: June 2023

Road traffic accidents (RTA) is a major cause of death and disability all over the world. It is the leading cause of death in children and young adults aged 5-29 years. Worldwide, it is a growing public health concern as, approximately, 1.3 million people die every year due to RTA. It is also taxing on a country’s GDP as at least 3% of the GDP is spent on RTA’s annually. In 2020, there were 3.14 deaths per 100,000 in the UAE and this number increased by 20% in 2021. It also happens to be the second highest cause of death after cardiovascular diseases. There are many factors like speeding, driving under the influence, distracted driving, nonuse of seatbelts etc. which can cause accidents. Weather phenomenon is an overlooked factor which can cause an increase in the number of RTAs. Climate change has resulted in a global increase of temperature and an increase in weird weather phenomenon like increased rainfall, fog, smog, snowfall etc. Very limited studies have been conducted to see the relationship between the two and none have been conducted in the UAE. This review was done based on articles selected from PubMed and SpringerLink, to see whether the results could be applicable in this region. In countries like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, increased rainfall and fog has resulted in an increase in the number of fatal accidents whereas in the USA, it was observed that the warmer temperatures have resulted in a higher number of fatal accidents. Hence, there is a need to assess the impact of climate change on RTA.

Educação a Distância e Ensino Remoto Emergencial: Conceitos em Debate
Authors: Toledo Stefani Moreira Aquino 
Published: June 2023

Esta pesquisa bibliográfica tem por objetivo discutir as semelhanças e diferenças entre os conceitos de educação a distância (EaD), ensino remoto emergencial (ERE) e outras novas denominações surgidas com a adoção do ERE nas escolas de educação básica no período pandêmico. Para isso, foram utilizados referenciais teóricos acerca da EaD e do ERE (BRASIL, 1996; 2017; ARRUDA, 2020; JUNQUEIRA, 2020; PAIVA, 2020; TODOS PELA EDUCAÇÃO, 2020) e sobre a terminologia empregada para designar o ERE adotado na rede pública estadual de Minas Gerais (MINAS GERAIS, 2020; TOLEDO, 2021). Os resultados das discussões apontaram para convergências e divergências entre EaD e ERE. A mediação do processo de ensino e aprendizagem pelas tecnologias digitais da informação e comunicação (TDIC) é similar em ambos os casos, porém a regulamentação oficial como modalidade de ensino é reconhecida apenas na EaD. O ERE foi adotado, por sua vez, como estratégia interina (PAIVA, 2020) para a minimização das consequências do fechamento das escolas da educação básica devido às condições impostas pela pandemia de Covid-19. Diante disso, este trabalho apresenta discussões complementares a estudos prévios sobre ambas as terminologias, EaD e ERE, adicionando uma discussão sobre o contexto da rede básica pública do estado de Minas Gerais. Por fim, espera-se contribuir com a reflexão e a análise da influência dos conceitos aqui abordados diante de práticas adotadas na referida rede de ensino, no período mais crítico da pandemia de Covid-19.

Ekstrak Bawang Dayak Penghambat Pertumbuhan Escherichia coli dan Staphylococcus aureus pada Daging Ayam
Authors: Romadhon Taufikkilah , Rahayu Winiati Pudji , Kusumanigrum Harsi Dewantari 
Published: July 2023

Microbial contamination on chicken meat can be inhibited by applying natural antimicrobials. Dayak onions (Eleutherine palmifolia (L.) Merr.) are reported to inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. This study aims to confirm and apply dayak onion extract (EBD) as an antimicrobial in fresh chicken meat. The observation parameters were the microbiological quality and physical properties of chicken meat after inoculation with E. coli and S. aureus and dipped in EBD solution with concentrations of 0, 3.0, 9.0, and 15.0 mg/mL for E. coli, and 0, 2.5, 7.5, and 12.5 mg/mL for S. aureus. The results showed that EBD-70% ethanol showed better bacterial inhibition than EBD-96% ethanol. Inhibition for both microbes can be achieved by concentrations of 3.0 and 2.5 mg/mL EBD, as visually observed in liquid media. Concentrations of 15.0 and 12.5 mg/mL showed significant results in reducing the total microbes of both types in chicken meat after 12 hours of room temperature storage (28±2°C) and 9 days of refrigerator storage (5±1°C). A combined application of 15.0 and 12.5 mg/mL EBD and refrigerator temperature can be recommended to reduce total E. coli and S. aureus and maintain the Aw and pH of the chicken meat.
