HISTÓRIA E FILOSOFIA DA CIÊNCIA EM DEBATE: A FILOSOFIA NATURAL MEDIEVAL E O CONTINUÍSMO EM EDWARD GRANT
Authors: Da Silva Luiz Cambraia Karat Gouvêa 
Published: July 2023

A origem da chamada “ciência moderna” é tema de uma das maiores controvérsias da História das Ciências. Atualmente, a perspectiva teórica hegemônica é aquela que defende que a ciência moderna teve suas raízes na chamada “Revolução Científica”, porém, nas últimas décadas, esta visão tem sido reavaliada por alguns historiadores. Denominados “continuístas”, estes pensadores pesquisam as contribuições do campo intelectual medieval na construção de um pensamento crítico, lógico e racional, fundamental para a metodologia científica moderna. Esta comunicação tem como objetivo analisar os estudos do historiador medievalista Edward Grant que, ao voltar sua atenção ao papel desempenhado pela filosofia natural na Baixa Idade Média, identifica os fundamentos das ciências modernas séculos antes da Revolução Científica.

L. plantarum is a known member of the lactic acid bacteria that possesses antimicrobial activities. Organic acids, hydrogen peroxide and bacteriocins have been majorly identified as the contributors to its antimicrobial activity. The present study sought to employ the GC-MS technique to further classify biological compounds that comprise the antimicrobial metabolite produced by L. plantarum through sub-merged fermentation. The bacterium was isolated from the rhizosphere of O. gratissimum and confirmed using molecular typing. Preliminary antibacterial screening of the organism was done with indicator strains isolated from urinary tract and wound surface, after which sub-merged fermentation was employed for the production of secondary metabolites for a 24 h period. The GC-MS technique was employed to identify the volatile bioactive compounds that comprise the secondary metabolite produced. The organism had significant (p<0.05) inhibition of the indicator strains when compared to the ciprofloxacin standard antibiotic. Metabolomics analyses identified Hydroxylamine, O-decyl-, 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol, and a wide range of organic compounds mainly from the alkane, amine, carboxylic acids and phenol functional groups, as the components of its antibacterial metabolite. GC-MS based metabolomics analyses is a profitable tool for identifying key components of the antibacterial substance produced by L. plantarum as this will give a room for its bio-prospecting potentials as alternative and sustainable source of novel antimicrobial compounds and other beneficial medications used by humans.

BackgroundMedication reviews are considered an opportunity for reducing polypharmacy. However, there is little evidence about their impact in a real-world setting.AimTo quantify numbers of older adults having a medication review in 2019, identify systematic differences in access to medication reviews, and assess the impact of medication reviews on the numbers of medicines prescribed.MethodWe defined a population of people aged ≥65 years with at least one active prescription on 01/01/2019 using anonymised electronic health records from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink. We used Cox regression to compare characteristics of people who did and did not have a medication review recorded in their health records in 2019. We compared the maximum number of concurrent prescriptions (‘polypharmacy count’) in the 3 months before and after a recorded medication review.ResultsOf 591 552 people (median age = 74 years, 54.5% female), 305 503 (51.6%) had a medication review in 2019. Living in a care home (hazard ratio [HR] 1.51, 95% confidence interval [CI] =1.40 to 1.62), a prior medication review in 2018 (HR 1.83, 95% CI = 1.69 to 1.98), and increasing baseline polypharmacy count (5–9 medicines versus 1 medicine HR 1.41, 95% CI = 1.37 to 1.46) were most strongly associated with having a review. Overall, there was a small mean increase in polypharmacy count after a review (+0.13 medicines, 0.12–0.14). For people prescribed ≥10 medicines before the review, polypharmacy count decreased on average (mean −0.14 medicines, −0.15 to −0.12).ConclusionAlthough a majority (>50%) of people had a recorded medication review in 2019, these reviews had a small overall impact on polypharmacy in this study population.
Health Inequalities in kiDney Disease, mEeting the urgent Need to identify early disease in high-risk communities: a feasibility study of home albuminuria testing in people with high Blood Pressure (HIDDEN-BP)

Published: July 2023

BackgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) is prevalent in the UK, associated with significant mortality and morbidity, and disproportionately affects minority ethnic groups. The most common causes for CKD are diabetes and hypertension. An estimated glomerular function (eGFR) blood test and an albumin creatinine ratio (uACR) urine test can be used to assess the level of CKD and predict the risk of adverse outcomes such as cardiovascular disease, end stage renal failure, and death. However, UK National CKD audit data suggest that only 30% of those with hypertension have a recorded uACR. Our quality improvement project working with community stakeholders and Healthy.io digital enterprise will evaluate the feasibility of uACR self-testing in the community.AimTo promote uACR testing using smartphone home self-testing kits (Heathy.io) to improve the early diagnosis of CKD in individuals with hypertension.MethodIndividuals with hypertension in three GP practices in ethnically diverse areas in London will be invited to use a home self-testing uACR kit. Healthy.io (providers of kit) will complete patient enrolment and make one attempt to contact non-responders. Non-responders will be offered peer support to assist engagement. Qualitative data will be sought regarding the acceptability of the test for both clinicians and patients.ResultsWe will recruit three practices in South London and mail 200 digital urine testing kits. Uptake and results will be presented.ConclusionImproving equity in uACR testing through quality improvement tools can deliver a sustainable project for improving patient renal care. Leveraging innovative methods provides the potential for effective, equitable, and efficient services.

<p>This manuscript is currently under submission to Journal of Optical Communications and Networking. The abstract of the paper is as follows:</p>
<p>Light fidelity (LiFi) is an emerging wireless networking technology of visible light communication (VLC) paradigm for multiuser communication. This technology enables high data rates due to the availability of large visible light spectrum. While current studies have shown the potential for LiFi technology, they borrow the MAC layer protocols from traditional WiFi. However, a number of prior studies have shown the challenges faced by the MAC layer of WiFi in the presence of large number and types of devices. In this work, we show that hybrid coordination function controlled access (HCCA) MAC protocol in LiFi provides higher throughput than the traditional carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) mechanism to user devices. We also show that HCCA has the limitation of higher message overhead in the presence of large number of devices. We utilize both theoretical analysis and extensive simulations to study these performance tradeoffs and identify a threshold when a LiFi access point should switch to HCCA from CSMA/CA and vice-versa. Finally, based on our findings, we design a hybrid MAC mechanism that switches between HCCA and CSMA/CA based on the number and type of devices present. Our evaluation shows that this hybrid mechanism can outperform both HCCA and CSMA/CA individually in the presence of different number of devices.</p>
Transición energética en América Latina y el Caribe. Desafíos y oportunidades para las tecnologías de valorización energética de residuos sólidos
Authors: Galván Silvia Luciana , Sosa Laura Valeria , Faitani Norma Gabriela , Bielsa Raquel Ofelia 
Published: July 2023

La producción de energía genera la mayor parte de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) porque la matriz energética mundial se basa, predominantemente, en combustibles fósiles. En este contexto, las tecnologías de valorización energética de residuos (WtE por sus siglas en inglés) pueden representar una opción para una transición hacia sistemas energéticos bajos en carbono, ya que la utilización de los RSU (residuos sólidos urbanos) como combustible alternativo, podría ayudar a reducir las emisiones de GEI. En los países emergentes, las WtE se aplican en plantas piloto o pequeñas instalaciones y el principal destino de los RSU son los rellenos sanitarios. En las megaciudades latinoamericanas, las preocupaciones ambientales relacionadas con los rellenos sanitarios han llevado a nuevas regulaciones que incluyen al uso de residuos como fuentes de energía alternativa. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar las barreras y oportunidades para la implementación de las tecnologías WtE en América Latina y el Caribe (ALC), a través de indicadores basados ​​en aspectos técnicos, económicos y ambientales, sintetizados en tres índices y evaluados mediante un análisis FODA. Los resultados mostraron que las tecnologías WtE que utilizan desechos orgánicos tienen algunas oportunidades, mientras que las tecnologías termoquímicas deberían superar barreras económicas y técnicas, como la separación en origen y la recolección diferenciada de RSU.

Abstract
Energy production generates the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions because the world energy matrix is based predominantly on fossil fuels. In this context, waste-to-energy (WtE) technologies may represent an option for a transition to low-carbon energy systems as the use of MSW (municipal solid waste) as an alternative fuel could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In emerging countries, WtE are applied in pilot plants or small facilities and the main destination of MSW is landfills. In Latin American megacities, environmental concerns related to landfills have led to new regulations involving the use of waste as alternative energy sources. This article aims to analyze the barriers and opportunities for the implementation of WtE technologies in Latin America and the Caribbean through indicators based on technical, economic, and environmental aspects, synthesized in three indices, and evaluated through a SWOT analysis. Results show that WtE technologies using organic waste have some opportunities, while thermochemical technologies should overcome economic and technical barriers such as source separation and differentiated MSW collection.
The Professional Performance of Media and Social Network During the Crisis: Audience’s Perception of Covid-19 Coverage

Published: July 2023

The study aimed to identify and analyze the public attitudes and perceptions of the treatment of the coronavirus crisis by media and communication organizations in the UAE. To what extent have they succeeded in introducing the CORONA virus and its symptoms, methods of prevention and precautionary measures, their perceptions of the most important means of communication that succeeded in raising their awareness of the crisis and affected their handling of the crisis, and their assessment of the nature of the information obtained from these mass media and social media in terms of its completeness, accuracy, etc. The study revealed a convergence in the roles that social media and the media have been interested in dealing with the virus and their relevance to the roles assigned to them, and both agreed to prioritize the roles related to the identification of THE CORONA virus, to raise awareness of the importance of taking precautionary measures with regard to HIV and to inform members of society about the symptoms of the virus. These results indicated that both the media and social media play an important role in spreading information related to the virus than in the roles of awareness and guidance. It also reveals that there is a lack of effort exerted by both media in the use of specialists to fulfil their roles in enhancing the awareness and guidance of the virus. The study also found that the public relied more on social media than the conventional media to obtain information about the coronavirus, which is risky because of the inaccuracy and reliability of the information published through social media. The public's assessment of the professional performance of the conventional media was also more positive than their assessment of the professional performance of social media.
The role of the family in the formation of moral qualities of teenagers
Authors: Mirzaliyeva Seyfal Narmina 
Published: July 2023

The family as an integral unit of society and a unique aspect of social relations is an important means of education and the formation of the moral foundations of the younger generation. It is in it that a complex and important process of the formation of a person’s personality takes place in all directions: physical, labor, spiritual, moral, aesthetic. The family not only lays the foundation, but also surrounds the person, living forever and consistently acquiring strong spiritual values, which expands the possibilities for spiritual upbringing and education, the formation of worldviews and enrichment of the inner world. It is here that the student first enters social life, studies his/her values, norms of behavior, way of thinking and language. In other words, the family is a school of education, the transfer of life experience, worldly wisdom.
The main goal of the study is to determine the role and importance of the family in the formation of students as individuals.
Awareness and realization of the needs and possibilities of forming a person’s moral principles in the family is one of the conditions for the comprehensive development of the individual. Therefore, it is important to determine the choice of “maternal connection” in the spiritual and moral world of a person in each specific historical period, with which you can show the optimal control effect on the nature of his/her spiritual and moral formation.
The family, in turn, is a mechanism that follows from the moral, ethical, and sociocultural norms of society as a whole, laying the foundations for the moral education of the student’s personality and developing a mechanism for controlling his/her behavior. The existence of contradictions between these norms in real life further enhances the role of the family as an intermediary between society and the individual and affects the formation of the values of the young generation
Determining Urban Growth in Response to Land Use Dynamics using Multi-Layer Perceptron and Markov Chain Models in a Metropolitan city: Past and Future
Authors: Jamal Saleha , Ali Md Babor 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Monitoring changes in land use and land cover over a specific timeframe, as well as predicting future trends, is of paramount importance due to its increasing influence on local, regional, and global environments. This study focuses on analyzing the dynamics of land use and land cover patterns, rapid urban expansion, and the underlying driving forces in the past three decades in KMC, West Bengal. To establish the relationship between land use/land cover dynamics and built-up expansion from 1990 to 2020, this study utilizes multi-temporal satellite data (Landsat-5 TM, Landsat-8 OLI) and census data. The analysis reveals that the highest transformation occurred in green spaces, followed by fallow lands and water bodies, as they were converted into built-up areas. Kolkata, being the third-ranking megacity in India and the capital of West Bengal, faces immense pressure for land transformation due to its Kolkata Municipal Corporation's floating population of 6 million, surpassing the total residential population of 4.5 million. This rapid urbanization is driven by the need for residential facilities, administrative services, business and commercial services, and employment opportunities. Statistical analysis demonstrates a strong correlation (coefficient of determination = 0.93) between built-up expansion and population growth. The substantial floating and residential population exert significant pressure for fast built-up expansion, resulting in the transformation of land use and land covers, with adverse environmental impacts such as loss of biodiversity, air and noise pollution, soil and water pollution, creation of microclimates, and the urban heat island effect.

FENOMENALOGIS KEBERADAAN ALLAH
Authors: . Wahyuddin 
Published: July 2023

God is life, he is the essence of life, if someone prefers, the essence of life is a god. Saying this we already know what God is, we know it is not through the impact of knowledge or learning, we do not know it through the mind, against the background the truth of the world, instead we know it, and can know it, only in and through life itself, we can know the essence of God only in God.This life is not a biological life that is defined by objective and external characteristics, or abstract and philosophical , but it is an absolutely phenomenal life, a radically immanent life that has the power to show itself in itself without distance, a life that expresses itself permanently.
One's manifestation of oneself and self-revelation that does not consist of the reality of seeing one's outside or understanding the outside world, but in fact feelings and feelings of oneself, experiencing within oneself have inner and affective realities. As Michel Henry said in this same book, "God is a pure revelation that reveals nothing but himself. God reveals himself. God's revelation is a revelation of himself". God in himself is a revelation, he is a primordial revelation which tore everything out of nothing, a revelation which was a sad self-revelation and absolute self-enjoyment from Life. As John said, God is love, because Life loves itself in infinite and eternal love. When we live and the results are produced continually by God's infinite Life, because He never stops giving us life, and when we never stop being born into life.

Published: July 2023

IntroductionAbscessation of equine head lymph nodes can be caused by various bacteria, but Streptococcus equi subsp. equi is mainly involved. At our laboratory, samples of three unrelated horses with submandibular abscesses were found negative for S. equi, and further testing proved the presence of another genus. This raised the question for the exact identity of this pathogen and whether these isolates were epidemiologically related and it warranted further characterization with regards of virulence and resistance factors.MethodsCulture followed by identification using MALDI-TOF MS, MIC testing and whole genome sequencing (WGS) was performed to characterize the bacteria.ResultsBacterial culture and subsequent identification with MALDI-TOF MS resulted in the reliable identification of A. denticolens in two of the three cases. Final confirmation of A. denticolens for all three isolates was achieved by analysis of the WGS data, supported by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). The three isolates showed 95% nucleotide sequence identity. The number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (10,170 to 36,058) indicated that the isolates were not clonal, suggesting that these cases were epidemiologically unrelated. Only four known virulence related genes were detected. The absence of known antibiotic resistance genes was in line with the high susceptibility, as indicated by the susceptibility patterns obtained for two of the three isolates.ConclusionWe conclude that A. denticolens should be included in the differential diagnosis of (submandibular) lymph node abscessation in horses, especially if strangles cannot be confirmed with laboratory diagnostics. Furthermore, we report the first draft genome of A. denticolens isolated from horses.
Following Navigation Instructions: Interdependent Spatial and Verbal Working Memory Processes
Authors: Healy Alice F. , Schneider Vivian I. , Kole James A. , Barshi Immanuel 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This study examined 3 theoretical issues involving working memory (WM) processes, movement dimensions, and serial positions. This examination was made in the context of investigating the ability to follow navigation instructions in a situation that mimicked communication between air traffic controllers and flight crews. Subjects heard navigation instructions describing movement within a 2-dimensional (2-D) computer display of a 3-D space consisting of four 4 × 4 stacked matrices. They repeated the instructions and then followed them by making movements on the computer screen. The 3-D space was shown from 2 different orientations (with the matrices stacked top to bottom or front to back). The effects of movement dimension depended on orientation; the dimension that was most difficult always involved movement outside the picture plane. The movement dimension effects also depended on the response requirements (mouse or keypad); they occurred only when a spatial WM representation was needed to make the movements (mouse). Likewise, serial position effects for the immediate oral repetition responses depended on the subsequent response requirements, providing a clear and strong demonstration that response requirements of the navigation task influence memory representations and memory performance, even for immediate verbatim recall completed before making the responses. More generally, these results support and elucidate the broader proposal that spatial and verbal WM processes are interdependent. The practical implications of these findings are discussed.
