Introduction: King grass (Cenchrus purpureus (Schumach.) Morrone, syn. Pennisetum purpuphoides) and pineapple peel (Ananas comosus) silages are food alternatives for livestock in conditions of feed shortage. Objective: To describe the dynamics of the microbiota present in king grass and pineapple silage during the fermentation process using next generation sequencing (NGS) and to evaluate the protective effect of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei_6714 as a silage inoculum against Listeria monocytogenes. Methods: We used an unrestricted randomized design to characterize the microbiota present in silages made from king grass harvested 70 days after regrowth and pineapple peel. We inoculated mixtures of grass and peel with L. paracasei_6714 or L. monocytogenes, or both, with a non-inoculated treatment as control. The nutritional and fermentative profile was evaluated after 30 days. After 15 and 30 days of fermentation, we used 16S rRNA analysis to determine the dynamics and diversity of the microbiota in the inoculated and control silages. Result: Dry matter content and digestibility did not differ significantly; however, there were differences in crude protein, pH and organic acids. We obtained 4432 amplicon sequence variants of Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacterioidetes, Actinobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, Planctomycetes and Patescibacteria. The relative abundance of each phylum varied depending on the material and fermentation period. Phylum similarity was over 70 % (but not greater than 50 % with Bray-Curtis at the species level). Conclusion: These bacterial communities seem to have an important role during silage fermentation. Proper management of silage processing can reduce or eliminate pathogenic bacteria.

AbstractThe technical and economic effects of the two methods of retrofitting with buckling restrain bracing and using concrete shear wall were investigated. The results of this study showed that using reinforcement, the amount of target displacement in the models was significantly reduced and it was observed that the concrete shear wall had a greater impact on the structure in this regard. The reinforcement methods used in this research have a significant impact on improving the technical performance of structures, which has been more in the strengthening method with concrete shear wall. Also, the evaluations showed that despite the fact that the shear wall of reinforced concrete has a better effect on the performance of the structure from a technical point of view, but in terms of weight, it can be seen that using a buckling brace can be more economical.

The present work is specifically focused on the form stability of paraffin as a phase change material (PCM) through the addition of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The aim of adding HDPE is to obtain a stable form of paraffin during the phase transition. Moreover, improving the performance of PCM leads to an advanced operation of the latent heat storage unit with an excellent charging duration and response time. The study uses HDPE at a ratio of 5 wt %, 10 wt % and 15 wt %. The results indicate significant differences between the form-stable PCM (FSPCM) and pure paraffin. For instance, the supercooling degree is decreased with the addition of HDPE, where paraffin has a supercooling degree of 8.01 °C while FSPCM with 15 wt % HDPE has a supercooling degree of 3.73 °C. The latent heat of fusion by adding 10 wt % and 15 wt % HDPE is slightly decreased by 1.85 %, which is much lower compared to adding 5 wt % HDPE, which reduces the latent heat of fusion by about 6.02 %. Adding HDPE leads to a faster charging process and a better response time during the discharging process. The charging rate is increased significantly by adding 15 wt % HDPE with a substantial increment of around 40 % with an average charging rate of 2.39 °C/min. The heat release during the discharging process is increased for FSPCM with 5 wt % HDPE where the temperature drops by more than 70 °C within 20 minutes. The findings indicate that adding HDPE contributed positively to reducing the supercooling degree and providing a steady phase transition. Thus, the heat exchange process of paraffin is more favorable, which improves the performance of the latent heat storage unit. Furthermore, the operation can be improved significantly by providing a faster charging and discharging process

Bakery products have an unstable heterogeneous structure that needs stabilization. The nutrient composition of these products, in most cases, is unbalanced: it is characterized by a high content of calories and carbohydrates. At the same time, the content of protein, fat, dietary fiber (fiber), vitamins, macro- and microelements is low. This leads to the search for raw materials with high functional and technological potential and with an attractive nutrient profile. The expediency of using in the technologies of bakery products a secondary product of processing sunflower seeds – flour from the extruded kernel of sunflower seeds (FESSK) has been proved. Its nutrient profile has been investigated. A high protein content (38.73 %) with a well-balanced amino acid composition (10 essential and 9 non-essential amino acids) increases the biological value of FESSK. The content of fat (4.87 %), rich in unsaturated fatty acids (16 fatty acids), enriches the nutritional profile of FESSK. The high ash content (8.0 %) (22 elements were found) and the presence of 12 vitamins (92.3 % of the total amount of vitamins) indicates a high biological value of FESSK. It was found that the addition of FESSK in the amount of 10.0 % to the mass of wheat flour increases the humidity by 0.5–1.2 %; reduces acidity by 0.5–1.2°; increases porosity by 7.0–11.0 %; increases the specific volume by 1.12–1.26 cm3/g. It reduces crumbliness of the crumb by 2.0–2.2 times, QMAFAnM – by 4.0–4.8 times, and increases the period of preservation of bread freshness by 1.57–1.77 times
El cuerpo femenino: una visión general desde la filosofía tradicional a la gestación subrogada
Authors: Velázquez Lourdes 
Published: March 2023

So-called surrogacy is a widespread practice in several countries around the world. Behind the appearance of a supposed freedom to dispose of their bodies, lies the exploitation of women belonging to the most socially and geographically vulnerable groups, which has all the characteristics of a modern form of slavery in the service of economic interests. The roots of this phenomenon lie in a secular tradition of devaluation of women and their corporeality that has permeated the most diverse cultures and which, despite the official recognition of their equal dignity at the national legal level, continues latently to this day.

Authors: Gozzo Débora 
Published: March 2023

Objective: to study the right to family planning of women over 35 years old when they exercise their reproductive rights. This can lead to high risks for women from this age segment and the fetus. Methods: study is based on a narrative and descriptive literature review and subsequent analysis of articles from journals, books, and collections in the field of health sciences and health law. The descriptors late motherhood, risks of late motherhood, late motherhood, and labor market were analyzed in an additional digital search of the following databases: Google Scholar, EBSCO, and Brazilian CAPES journals. Results: the female body is less prepared for pregnancy from the age of 35 years than that of women aged between 20 and 29 years, an age segment considered ideal for reproduction. Late motherhood, for whatever reason, puts women at higher risk for health problems during pregnancy and poses a higher risk to the child, both the unborn and the child after birth. Conclusion: a woman who chooses late motherhood must be properly informed by specialized physicians that such a pregnancy, whether artificial or natural, may pose serious problems for both her and her child.

Published: March 2023

AbstractTo establish a robust method of determining and correcting the misorientation of seismometers with radial and tangential components of the teleseismic receiver function (RF), we assess the measurement of the amplitude of P-wave phase arrivals at zero seconds (PRFamp method) and the energy of the width of the time window around the P-wave phase arrival (PRFenergy method) using varying Gaussian factors, ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 with equivalent cutoff frequencies. To understand the efficacy and discrepancies in these methods, and their results across different geological terrains, we conduct an assessment of their performance on 26 permanent seismic stations located in West Africa and adjacent islands. We conduct several tests to examine the effect of varying Gaussian factors on the estimates of misorientation. These effects are more noticeable in results from stations for which RFs are indicative of 3D or complex structures and islandic stations. Statistical analyses reveal good correlation between the results obtained from both the methods, although results from PRFamp method proves to be more stable due to their proximity to the statistical mean and standard deviation results. In comparison with the PRFenergy results, there is a smaller error difference and uncertainty, a higher correlation coefficient, a relatively lower standard deviation, and better convergence around the mean misorientation obtained using PRFamp. From both the methods, estimates from continental stations reveal similar trends, results from coastal stations tend to be consistent, whereas some island stations show a reverse trend in sensor misorientation classification. We propose that the PRFamp yields more consistent results and is less sensitive to subsurface heterogeneities. Gaussian filtering with an alpha value (α) of 1.5 is recommended as a trade-off between oversimplification and complications due to subsurface structures. However, we suggest that multiple approaches be adopted to provide robust bases for the estimation and comparison of sensor orientation correction calculations.

AbstractGuizhou province is located in a karst development area in China, and there are many moderate earthquakes, among which extremely shallow earthquakes are likely to cause damage to buildings, transportation lines, and other engineering facilities. Accurate focal depth and moment tensor can provide vital information for earthquake disaster assessment and karst collapse monitoring in karst areas. The network in the study area is relatively sparse, and the velocity structure is complex. For shallow earthquakes, the shallow velocity structure may cause certain errors in the inversion of the focal depth and mechanisms. In this study, based on the surface-wave information of regional stations, the shallow velocity structure is inverted. Based on the updated velocity model, we obtain the focal depth and mechanism of the Mw 4.5 earthquake on 21 August 2021 in Guizhou province. The results show that the optimal focal depth is about 2 km, and the moment of horizontal closing crack (M​crack) accounts for about 31% of the full moment tensor. The first motions of the P wave at the near-seismic stations of the earthquake are negative, similar to the typical collapses. However, compared to mining collapse earthquakes, the proportion of closing-crake components is relatively low. The dominant double-couple source of the earthquake is a thrust fault, which is consistent with the distribution of faults in the study area. It is speculated that a collapse in the karst area, resulting in negative P-wave polarities and about 31% closing-crake source, induced the shallow earthquake.
A Mitigation Strategy for the Prediction Inconsistency of Neural Phase Pickers
Authors: Park Yongsoo , Beroza Gregory C. , Ellsworth William L. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractNeural phase pickers—neural networks designed and trained to pick seismic phase arrivals—have proven to be a powerful tool for developing earthquake catalogs. However, these pickers suffer from prediction inconsistency in which the results they produce change, sometimes substantially, even under a small perturbation to the input waveform. This problem has not been addressed by the developers and users of these pickers. In this study, we show how prediction inconsistency can negatively affect the completeness of earthquake catalogs developed using neural phase pickers. We show that simply using a small step size for the sliding window when processing continuous waveform data and aggregating the results significantly mitigates this problem. We also highlight the importance of training datasets for increasing the consistency and other performance metrics.

Musculus psoas abscess (MPA) is a relatively uncommon and potentially life-threatening infection. Diagnostics of MPA are challenging due to nonspecific clinical presentation and insidious onset. We present an 85-year-old patient with iliopsoas abscess and sepsis, who was admitted to an emergency department with fever, fatigue, anorexia, tenderness and limited range of motion in her right hip. Upon further diagnostics, it was discovered, that the bacterial cause of infection was Proteus mirabilis, which is a highly unusual finding. The case illustrates the difficulty of diagnosing MPA and discusses the possible origins of the primary infection.

Published: March 2023

Nas ciências econômicas, a Teoria Quantitativa da Moeda (TQM) representa, em sua essência, a teoria empregada pelos economistas clássicos para demonstrar que a variação do nível geral de preços é determinada pela variação da quantidade de moeda. Existem distintas abordagens que representam a TQM como as que foram desenvolvidas por John Richard Hicks, Irving Fisher, autores da Escola de Cambridge e, também, John Maynard Keynes. Nestes termos, o presente artigo tem como principal objetivo realizar uma extensa análise em torno da evolução da TQM sob uma perspectiva de compreensão através da história e da teoria, inclusive apresentando – em forma crítica – a substância da versão de uma nova e original equação da TQM em bases inteiramente distintas das versões anteriores. Do ponto de vista metodológico, a pesquisa adotada será do tipo exploratória-qualitativa. A principal conclusão é que um pensamento completamente diferenciado foi concebido por Keynes, que incorporou no seu arcabouço teórico o “motivo especulação”, bem como demonstrou que a TQM é inválida quando assume uma tendência automática para o pleno emprego. No final, a autoconfiança na eficiência do(s) mercado(s) pela escola tradicional clássica foi demolida por Keynes em todos os seus fundamentos.Palavras-chave: Teoria Quantitativa da Moeda (TQM).
