Published: June 2023

Dental caries is one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide. Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans are two major pathogens associated with dental caries. Several recent studies revealed that Lactobacillus plantarum inhibits S. mutans and C. albicans in biofilms and in a rodent model of dental caries. The aim of this study was to investigate the dose-dependent effect of L. plantarum against S. mutans and C. albicans in a planktonic model that simulated a high-caries-risk clinical condition. Mono-, dual-, and multi-species models were utilized, with five doses of L. plantarum (ranging from 1.0 × 104 to 1.0 × 108 CFU/mL). Real-time PCR was used to assess the expression of the virulence genes of C. albicans and S. mutans and the genes of L. plantarum. Student’s t-tests and one-way ANOVA, followed by post hoc tests, were employed to compare the cell viability and gene expression among groups. A dose-dependent inhibition on C. albicans and S. mutans was observed with increased dosages of L. plantarum. L. plantarum at 108 CFU/mL demonstrated the highest antibacterial and antifungal inhibitory effect in the dual- and multi-species models. Specifically, at 20 h, the growth of C. albicans and S. mutans was suppressed by 1.5 and 5 logs, respectively (p < 0.05). The antifungal and antibacterial effects were attenuated in lower doses of L. plantarum (104–107 CFU/mL). The expression of C. albicans HWP1 and ECE 1 genes and S. mutans lacC and lacG genes were significantly downregulated with an added 108 CFU/mL of L. plantarum (p < 0.05). The addition of 108 CFU/mL L. plantarum further inhibited the hyphae or pseudohyphae formation of C. albicans. In summary, L. plantarum demonstrated dose-dependent antifungal and antibacterial effects against C. albicans and S. mutans. L. plantarum emerged as a promising candidate for the creation of novel antimicrobial probiotic products targeting dental caries prevention. Further research is warranted to identify the functional metabolites produced by L. plantarum at different dosages when interacting with C. albicans and S. mutans.
Application and Development of Bt Insect Resistance Genes in Rice Breeding

Published: June 2023

As pests are an important factor in reducing crop yields, pest control is an important measure in preventing reductions in crop yields. With the aim of ending the use of chemical pesticides, biological control and genetically modified methods are now considered more reasonable pest control strategies. The bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) can produce crystal proteins that have specific toxicity to lepidopteran insects, and so it has been applied as a microbial insecticide in the control of crop pests for several decades. With the development of plant genetic engineering, Bt genes encoding insecticidal crystal protein have been introduced into many crop species for pest control. This article indicates that, after years of experiments and research, Bt transgenic rice is close to becoming a commercial insect-resistant rice, and many studies have shown that transgenic rice has pronounced abilities in the control of pests such as yellow stem borers (Scirpophaga incertulas, YSB), striped stem borers (Chilo suppressalis, SSB), and rice leaf rollers (Cnaphalocrocis medinalis, RLR); moreover, it does not obviously differ from non-transgenic rice in terms of safety. This paper suggests that transgenic Bt rice has application potential and commercial value.
Towards an active cyber defence framework for SMMEs in developing countries
Authors: Ntingi Nombeko , Von Solms Sebastian , Du Toit Jaco 
Published: June 2023

Small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMMEs) are obliged to adopt digital technologies to render services to their clients and remain competitive. The COVID-19 global crisis has accelerated the cyberfication of systems and services. The move to digital platforms has afforded SMMEs opportunities to offer their services to a broader geographical area. However, this has also presented opportunities for cybercriminals to invade the digital infrastructure. Adopting digital transformation has put SMMEs in a vulnerable position since they need to manage their cybersecurity while lacking the necessary skills and ICT infrastructure. The inability of SMMEs to defend themselves against cyberattacks compels them to outsource their security needs to external security service providers. These external security service providers offer security services based on a hierarchical operating model. Essential security services are offered at a lower level. If the paying clients require advanced security services, they may be provided as an add-on to the contractual agreement resulting in additional cost.

This paper explores the active cyber defence (ACD) approach to enhance cybersecurity defence while minimising service costs. Therefore, the primary objective and outcome of this paper are to identify some of the essential drivers that will contribute towards developing the active cyber defence framework for SMMEs in developing countries. For purposes of clarity, essential drivers are the gaps highlighted during the literature review and will be referred to as “essential drivers” throughout the paper. The essential drivers, together with suggested recommendations, will be consolidated. The essential drivers were drawn from existing literature by going through peer-reviewed academic papers and company whitepapers.

To achieve the primary objective, we need to establish whether SMMEs are utilising the services of external security service providers. The external security service providers will be referred to as “Security Operation Centre - SOC as a service” throughout the paper. The secondary objective of this paper is to determine whether SMMEs are utilising the SOC as a service and if they do, whether they realise value for money.
Technology-Oriented Innovations and Cyber Security Challenges in the Healthcare Delivery System: A perspective from Developing Economy
Authors: Owusu Victor Kwarteng , Gregar Ales 
Published: June 2023

There is no dispute about the looming digital transformation of certain sectors within transitional economies, especially in Ghana. In fact, for most developed economies, digitalization has proven to have relevant visible effects. The paradox, however, is the seamless nature of this propagation in contrast to the myriad associated benefits. Suffice it to say that, the main purpose of this study was to identify the perceived impediments against the adoption and continuous acceptance of technology-oriented innovation for healthcare delivery in transitional economies through innovations. Especially, in the current technological dispensation where Africa and other developing countries are striving to bridge the technology gap in service delivery. Though much research has been conducted within the healthcare sector, factors that hinder technology acceptance and continuous usage have rarely been their primary focus. To address this consequential lacuna, this study takes inspiration from literature through document and theme analysis and proposes a model which could serve as a remedy to the identifiable impediments and inhibitors to the seamless delivery of healthcare services in transitional economies. We emphasize good management and government-based interventions throughout the literature review as well as the document analyzed. We also made suggestions for further research, notably concerning means of increasing technology diffusion and possible remedy to cyber-security threats in the healthcare sector.

Authors: Brixner Beatrice Fernanda Martins , Alencar Beatriz Aparecida 
Published: June 2023

Esta pesquisa registra a realização de um projeto sobre a língua espanhola que foi desenvolvido no Instituto Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul (IFMS) - Campus Campo Grande buscando valorizar a língua em foco na comunidade interna. Atualmente, seguindo uma tendência nacional que decorre da oferta não obrigatória da língua espanhola para estudantes do ensino médio (lei 13.415/2017) e também pelos apelos da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), o espanhol foi excluído do currículo do ensino médio e está sendo ofertado no IFMS exclusivamente pelos centros de idiomas (CENID). Sendo assim, o projeto consiste em proporcionar um primeiro contato com o idioma de forma mais descontraída, por meio de atividades, conteúdo e questionários relacionados aos materiais compartilhados nas redes sociais do projeto. Para tanto, utilizou as ferramentas digitais e o Instagram para proporcionar ao estudante o contato inicial e o aprendizado do idioma. A pesquisa explorou o contato com o espanhol a partir da metodologia da Pesquisa-ação. Como resultado, o projeto destacou a importância da língua espanhola e fomentou a construção de um espaço permanente para debate sobre o espanhol na instituição, ressaltando os aspectos culturais, linguísticos, históricos e econômicos dos países vizinhos e de seus falantes nativos.
“A PERSONAL TRAINER É CADEIRANTE, E DAÍ?”: REFLEXÕES SOBRE A ATUAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL DE UMA PROFISSIONAL DE EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA COM DEFICIÊNCIA FÍSICA
Authors: Santos Fabricio 
Published: June 2023

Na contemporaneidade, como a palavra de ordem é o físico forte, belo e jovem, esses valores indicam que há uma tendência hegemônica que busca o corpo “ideal”, que geralmente é imposto socialmente, influenciado, sobretudo, pela mídia. Essa lógica corporal estética, embalado pelas redes sociais, pode provocar um paradoxo cultural acerca da pessoa com deficiência física que, de certa maneira, está fora dos referidos “padrões” impostos. Neste sentido, o presente estudo objetiva refletir sobre a atuação profissional de uma personal trainner, com deficiência física. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativo. Participaram da pesquisa a professora, foco deste estudo, e um aluno atendido pela personal. Para coleta de dados, optou-se pela observação participante. Como resultado foi possível perceber que a atuação da personal trainner, com deficiência física, é bem ativa, embasada pelos conhecimentos técnicos e científicos da área de Educação Física. Conclui-se que a professora utiliza diferentes técnicas de ensino para o aluno, devido a sua deficiência. Por fim, que a acessibilidade nas academias é fundamental para a realização do trabalho da professora.
