Differential expression of tissue factor pathway inhibitor in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: April 2021

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding the tissue factor pathway inhibitor, TFPI, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. TFPI mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of TFPI in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with luminal B subtype cancers, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by molecular subtype. TFPI may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

The computation of weight in Portuguese: syllables and intervals
Authors: Garcia Guilherme Duarte
Published: April 2021

Probabilistic approaches have changed the maxim of categoricity often assumed in phonological analyses. With more statistical power, we are now able to perform more comprehensive and detailed analyses, which in turn help us adjust our own theoretical assumptions. Weight and stress have benefited greatly from such approaches, and we now know that the computation of weight is not as categorical as we thought. Instead, more intricate, subtle patterns can emerge once we examine enough data. In this paper, I show that this is in fact the case for Portuguese.

Perairan Indonesia kaya akan sumber daya hayati laut, salah satunya adalah rumput laut. Rumput laut mengandung berbagai komponen yang dapat dimanfaatkan bagi kehidupan manusia. Rumput laut mempunyai berbagai jenis senyawa polisakarida diantaranya alginat, agar- agar, dan karaginan. Selain beberapa kandungan polisakarida dan senyawa bioaktif, rumput laut juga mengandung senyawa lain yaitu pigmen. Rumput laut mempunyai tiga jenis pigmen utama, yaitu klorofil, karotenoid, dan fikosianin. Setiap jenis pigmen tersebut mempunyai berbagai manfaat khususnya bagi kesehatan (Lila, 2004).Bibir merupakan salah satu bagian wajah yang penampilannya mempengaruhi persepsi estetis wajah. Kulit bibir tidak memiliki folikel rambut dan tidak ada kelenjar keringat yang berfungsi untuk melindungi bibir dari lingkungan luar. Bibir sangat rentan terhadap pengaruh lingkungan serta berbagai produk perawatan kesehatan, kosmetik dan produk perawatan kulit lainnya yang dapat menyebabkan kerusakan kulit yaitu bibir menjadi kering, pecah-pecah, dan warna yang kusam. Untuk menghindari hal tersebut, dibutuhkan antioksidan eksogen yang dapat menunda atau menghambat reaksi oksidasi oleh radikal bebas atau menetralkan dan menghancurkan radikal bebas yang dapat menyebabkan kerusakan sel.
Coulomb Threshold Rate-and-State Model for Fault Reactivation: Application to induced seismicity at Groningen
Authors: Heimisson Elias , Smith Jonathan , Avouac Jean-Philippe , Bourne Stephen
Published: April 2021

A number of recent modeling studies of induced seismicity have used the rate-and-state friction model of Dieterich (1994) to account for the fact that earthquake nucleation is not instantaneous. Notably, the model assumes a population of seismic sources accelerating towards instability with a distribution of intial slip speeds such that they would produce earthquakes steadily in the absence of any perturbation to the system. This assumption may not be valid in typical intra-plate settings where most examples of induced seismicity occur, since these regions have low stressing rates and initially low seismic activity. The goal of this paper is twofold. First, to derive a revised Coulomb rate-and-state model, which takes into account that seismic sources can be initially far from instability. Second, to apply and test this new model, called the Threshold rate-and-state model, on the induced seismicity of the Groningen gas field in the Netherlands. Stress changes are calculated based on a model of reservoir compaction (Smith et al. 2019) since the onset of gas production. We next compare the seismicity predicted by our threshold model and Dieterich (1994)'s model with the observations. The two models yields comparable spatial distributions of earthquakes in good agreement with the observations. We find however that the Threshold model provides a better fit to the observed time-varying seismicity rate than Dieterich (1994)'s model, and reproduces better the onset, peak, and decline of the observed seismicity rate. We compute the maximum magnitude expected for each model given the Gutenberg-Richter distribution and compare to the observations. We find that the Threshold model both shows better agreement with the observed maximum magnitude and provides results consistent with lack of observed seismicity prior to 1993. We carry out analysis of the model fit using a Chi-squared reduced statistics and find that the model fit is dramatically improved by smoothing the seismicity rate. We interpret this finding as possibly suggesting an influence of source interactions, or clustering, on a long time-scale of about 3-5 year.
Water Quality Index (WQI) for Evaluation of the Surface Water Quality of Bangladesh and Prediction of WQI from Limited Parameters

Published: April 2021

Healthy aquatic environment is crucial for preserving aquatic lives in surface waters. Increasing industrial or agricultural discharge or run-off can pollute water leading to unhealthy aquatic environment causing distress in fishes and other aquatic lives. In places with lack of infrastructure and regulatory enforcement, pollution can be particularly challenging to handle. Assignment of an indexing system can be helpful for analyzing pollution pattern in the polluted rivers which can be helpful for remediation purposes and prevention of future pollution. Bangladesh currently does not have any indexing system in place. Assignment of indices in the rivers of Bangladesh can be helpful for remediation of the rivers on a preferential basis as remediation of all the rivers at once will pose challenges with funding and infrastructural allocation. Parameters monitored in the water monitoring stations of ten rivers were extracted from the reports published by the Department of Environment (DOE) of Bangladesh. A water quality index (WQI) was assigned on the rivers across seven years of time period to identify the most polluted rivers. The degree of pollution in the river was in the order of Mayuri > Buriganga > Korotoa > Turag > Shitalakhya > Surma > Halda > Dhaleshwari > Mathavanga > Brahmaputra based on the WQI analysis. Among the ten rivers, only Mathavanga and Brahmaputra were in good condition. The most polluted rivers were located in areas with manufacturing, textile etc. industries. Hence, monitoring of industrial discharge intro the rivers and regulatory enforcement is crucial for the prevention of pollution in rivers. In addition to regulatory enforcement, adoption of remediation plans and implementation of them is also essential for remediation of the polluted rivers.
A fault slip model to study earthquakes due to pore pressure perturbations
Authors: Dana Saumik , Jha Birendra
Published: April 2021

The burgeoning need to sequester anthropogenic CO_2 for climate mitigation and the need for energy sustenance leading upto enhanced geothermal energy production has made it incredibly critical to study potential earthquakes due to fluid activity in the subsurface. These earthquakes result from reactivation of faults in the subsurface due to pore pressure perturbations. In this work, we provide a framework to model fault slip due to pore pressure change leading upto quantifying the earthquake magnitude.
Bovidae and Giraffidae from the Baynunah Formation
Authors: Bibi Faysal
Published: April 2021

Study of new and previously discovered remains indicates the presence of at least three giraffid and eight bovid species in the Baynunah Formation. Among giraffids, the most significant new find is a partial skeleton attributed to Palaeotragus aff. germaini. A large sivathere and possibly Samotherium boissieri are also present. Bovids include Pachyportax latidens, Miotragocerus cyrenaicus, Afrotragus libycus, Prostrepsiceros vinayaki, and two indeterminate small species. Separation of postcranial material into broad size categories reveals an additional giraffid and two bovid species not represented by cranial remains. Though small in number, the Baynunah bovid and giraffid assemblage is as rich in species as late Miocene sites at Lothagam or in the Siwaliks. All identified genera and species are otherwise known from eastern Africa, the eastern Mediterranean, or southern Asia. The richness of the community, combined with the lack of any obvious endemics, suggests that large mammal assembly in the Baynunah Formation may have relied in large part on dispersals from nearby regions following the appearance of humid conditions over the Arabian Peninsula. Such a pattern of climatically-induced local extirpation followed by re-establishment might have characterized much of Arabia’s late Neogene history, continuing into the Pleistocene and the present day.
Threat learning impairs subsequent memory recombination with past episodes
Authors: de Vries Olivier , Grasman Raoul P P P , Kindt Merel , van Ast Vanessa
Published: April 2021

To successfully predict important events, the representations in memory on which we rely need to be constantly updated and transformed to best reflect a complex and dynamic world. Here we employed a novel paradigm to investigate how memories of threat learning affect the flexible recombination across distinct but overlapping experiences, an ability referred to as relational memory. Participants (n=35) visited the lab to first encode neutral associations (A - B), which were reactivated and predictively associated with a new aversive or neutral element (B - C) on the following day, whilst pupil dilation was measured as an index of arousal. Then, again one day later, the accuracy of relational memory judgements (A - C?) was tested. Novel association to threat was found to impair relational memory. Unexpectedly, this effect was not moderated by arousal. We propose that compartmentalization of threat learning events could be a function of a healthy memory, preventing maladaptive ‘episodic overgeneralization’ of threat to previously encoded episodes.
Developing Critical Thinking Skills in Elementary School Students Through Foreign Language Education: An Action Research
Authors: Sarıcan Elif , GÜNEŞ Ecenur Büşra
Published: April 2021

People constantly practice the act of thinking. They may not think about everything, yet they certainly think of something and make decisions. Critical thinking is a sort of reflective thinking. It is controlled and aimed at perfect thinking. It enables the self-realization of individuals in social life. Therefore, it is important to develop critical thinking at school stages and early ages. The purpose of this research was to investigate “the effect of foreign language learning activities on critical thinking skills of 4th-grade students”. To achieve this purpose, researchers tried to answer these questions: (1) What is the effect of critical thinking activities on students’ critical thinking? (2) What is the effect of critical thinking activities on students’ personal definitions of critical thinking and critical thinker? (3) What is the effect of critical thinking activities on students’ social skills? The method of this research is action research which is considered highly important for educational sciences. In the course of this research, activities for developing critical thinking skills were implemented to 4th grade students. 25 4th grade private elementary school students participated in the research. Researchers used 13-question “Critical Thinking Skill Open-ended Questionnaire” to collect data. The answers given to the open-ended questionnaire before and after the activities were analyzed using content analysis, and themes and codes were determined accordingly, thereby answers of the students are compared. It is noted that before implementation, most of the students did not have any idea about critical thinking or they thought critical thinking has a negative connotation; however, after implementation, they gained more positive and open-minded opinions about this term.
Developing Data-Driven Administrative Policy for International Montessori Center, Thailand
Authors: Ali Arisara , Pa-alisbo Mark Anthony C.
Published: April 2021

This institutional survey research was used to improve administrative policies at International Montessori Center (IMC), a private international kindergarten in Bangkok, Thailand. The main goal of the study was to gather input from school stakeholders regarding daily conditions and functions, with the ultimate goal of improved administrative policy implementation. A literature review indicated no direct prior research. A survey gathered input from four stakeholder groups, including 15 teachers, 104 parents, 17 staff, and 3 administrators, regarding Physical Safety, Child Sense of Being Valued (classroom atmosphere), Classroom Conditions, Information Availability, Parent-Teacher Meeting Quality, Administrative Support, Parental Support (overall), Educational Tools and Technology, Quality of Peer Professional Relationships, and Availability of Needed Supplies. Stakeholders rated the daily operations areas using five-point Likert-style questions and responded to two open-ended questions. In sum, findings highlighted a number of useful perspectives for the little-studied early-childhood administrative community: a) seemingly mundane school functions are important to those who experience them on a regular basis; b) all stakeholder input is valuable when gathering school daily operations feedback; c) similarities and differences in stakeholder input help administrators develop a more holistic perspective of school functioning; and d) stakeholder input is a valuable tool for administrators to use when critically considering responsive policy formulation. Conclusions reached were limited to correlations and patterns found in one institution. However, it is clear that this original research is a valuable step in improving administrative policy implementation at the private international kindergarten level.

Published: April 2021

Global tourism is based on the movement of people from their usual environment, which makes interaction between people possible. It creates a mutual impact on tourists and the host community by bringing together people of different races, languages, and beliefs. Global tourism leads to a beneficial economic impact on the host country and it also increases the socio-cultural exchange between the host and tourist countries. In this respect, the current paper presents the analysis of tourism as a socio-cultural phenomenon. It presents a critical analysis of earlier findings on the evolution of tourism as a concept and sheds light on cultural and social factors leading to tourism in its present state as well as its social and cultural impacts, positive and negative. Furthermore identifies some sociological and cultural factors that shape the characteristics of tourists and highlights the role of socio-cultural motivations of tourists.

Clast morphology of the Siwalik conglomerates from the Dhan Khola Formation, Surai Khola area, Mid-Western Nepal
Authors: Tamrakar Naresh Kazi
Published: April 2021

Clast morphology of the Siwalik conglomerates from the Dhan Khola Formation was studied at 19 horizons. The clasts were measured to calculate morphological indices such as axial ratios, c/a and (a-b)/(a-c), maximum projection sphericity (ψp), coefficient of flatness (CF), and roundness (p) separately for quartzite clasts (with two size-grades) and other clasts. The shape indices were plotted in shape diagrams and statistical tests were used to compare the shape indices of the above clasts with the index limits proposed in earlier studies.

Based on clast type, four units are proposed for the Dhan Khola Formation. The formation is sub-divided into the volcanic clast-dominated, dolomite clast-dominated, quartzite clast-dominated, and terrigenous clast-dominated units, respectively from bottom to top. The latter unit contains many clasts derived from the Siwaliks. The quartzite clasts are more compact than other ones with significant differences in their axial ratios. The quartzite clasts show textural abnormalities and their p values decrease in the upper part of the formation suggesting high rate of sediment supply and nearness of complex source. The quartzite clasts with smaller (>-4ϕ) size-grade are better sphered. They plot clearly in the fluvial field of the ψp versus CF diagram. In 60 % of the quartzite clasts, means of ψp and CF exceed significantly the lower index limits showing that they were shaped in fluvial environment. However, the samples giving insignificant results could have also formed under the same conditions but with ψp and CF values lower than index limits proposed earlier.
Urban geology and environmental problems of Lahore City, Pakistan
Authors: Iqbal Sheikh Mohammed , Ahmed Sarfraz , Rashid Sajid
Published: April 2021

The present study deals with the urban geology and environmental problems of the Lahore City in Pakistan. It is based on a set of the following thematic maps at 1:100, 000 scale: geology, urbanisation, engineering geology, land use, flood hazard, and aquifer drawdown depth. The major hazards of the Lahore metropolitan area are air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, and deforestation, which are the result of rapid population growth as well as poor planning.

The Lahore metropolitan area comprises the Early Pleistocene to Recent silty loess and silty clay deposits of the Ravi River. The foundation conditions of the Lahore metropolitan area are generally good. The city suffers from periodic floods during the monsoon season. The pavement and drains accelerate and increase the surface runoff and the peak flood. Unplanned groundwater development in the metropolis has caused a rapid lowering of the water table. Subsequently, the sand is dewatered and the water table has dropped to 7-13 m.
Geological, geochemical and electrical constraints on the transient flow mechanism of the Dhor Barahi periodic spring in western Nepal
Authors: Perrier Frederic , Gautam Umesh , Chitrakar Gyani Raja , Shrestha Prithvi , Kafle Basanta , Heritier Thierry , Aupiais Jean
Published: April 2021

The Dhor Barahi spring in Tanahun district, Western Nepal, is characterised by intermittent periodic flow or unsteady continuous flow, depending on the time of the year. This behavior can be attributed to a siphon that can be cons trained by the local geology and water chemistry data. During periodic discharges, electrical signals are observed with an amplitude proportional to the water flow rate, as predicted by the electrokinetic effect, with a maximum coupling of -1.3±0.3 Vsm-3. The spatial structure of the surface potential leads to a qualitative descript ion of the electrical sources, also compatible with an electrokinetic mechanism, but additional contributions are possible. This study illustrates how combined geochemical and electrical measurements can provide access to the dynamics of groundwater circulation, with possible implications for the monitoring of hydrological, tectonic or volcanic processes.
Stratigraphy and structure of the inner Lesser Himalaya between Kusma and Syangja, Western Nepal
Authors: Dhital Megh Raj , Paudel Lalu Prasad , Thapa Prem Bahadur , Ando Hisao Rakesh
Published: April 2021

The inner Lesser Himalayan rocks in the Kusma-Syangja area of Western Nepal comprise the Lower Nawakot Group. Upper Nawakot Group, Sirkot Group, and Tansen Group. The Lower Nawakot Group is made up of the Kuncha Formation (grey-green gritty phyllite and metasandstone), Naudanda Quartzite (very thick, pale yellow to white quartzite), Nayagaun Formation (grey-green phyllite and slate), Nourpul Formation (red-purple, grey, and green-grey phyllitc, slate. and quartzite), and Dhading Dolomite (grey dolomite with columnar stromatolites), respectively from bottom to top. The Dhading Dolomite transitionally passes into the Benighat Slates (interlaminated black slate with sporadic carbonate bands) of the Upper Nawakot Group. The Sirkot Group succeeds the Benighat Slates and is represented by the Sorek Formation (grey-green and red-purple slate and orthoquartzite together with the Ripa Member of grey dolomite containing columnar and dome-shaped stromatolites) and the overlying Dhanpure Limestone (parallel-laminated grey limestone and shale).The Tansen Group disconformably overlies the above reeks, and is represented by the Sisne Formation (grey diamictite), Amile Formation (grey to brown orthoquartzite interbedded with brown and red-purple shale), and Dumri Formation (red-purple shale and grey-green sandstone), respectively in an ascending order.

The Lower Nawakot Group is equivalent to the Dantha Group and the Deoban Formation whereas the Benighat Slates arc comparable with the Mandhali Formation in the Kumaon Himalaya, India. Similarly, the Sirkot Group is equivalent to the Kali Gandaki Supergroup and Gwar Group in the outer Lesser Himalaya of Nepal, and the Nagthat, Blaini, and Krol Formations of the Krol Belt in the Kumaon Lesser Himalaya of India.

The region underwent intense deformation resulting in the development of foreland- as well as hinterland vergent imbricate faults. The Main Central Thrust (MCT) covered the entire inner Lesser Himalaya in the past and the Kusma-Syangja area was part of a complex duplex system. The MCT was the roof thrust of the duplex and its southward propagation was responsible for the development of south-vergent mesoscopic as well as small-scale folds near the anastomosing leading edge branch lines. A triangle zone was formed in the area bounded by two thrusts with opposite vergence and same basal detachment.
The distinct element method-based model and its use in slope stability analysis
Authors: Bhattarai Tara Nidhi
Published: April 2021

With the advent of various modeling programs, it has become possible to build a model of a rock mass and perform extensive analysis to solve related rock engineering problems. However, there has been almost no research effort devoted to the generation of the basic input data that is needed for the faster and better model and for our improved design techniques. In light of these points, this paper describes a step-by-step procedure for the characterization of discontinuity as a means to prepare input data for a model construction based on the distinct element method (DEM). A case study is also presented in which the DEM models were constructed to carry out the slope stability analysis of an excavated rock slope. A rock reinforcement system is also designed based on the results obtained with the DEM analysis.

Authors: Rajaure S.
Published: April 2021

An attempt has been made to study the velocity structure of western Nepal. Arrival time data of local earthquakes occurring in that region were used to derive the model. A three layered velocity model both for the P- as well as S-wave velocity has been estimated. The compressional wave velocities in the first, second and the third layers have been estimated to be 5.53 km/sec. 6.29 km/sec and 8.13 km/sec respectively. Similarly the corresponding S-wave velocities are 3.18, 3.62, 4.66 km/sec respectively. The model for the Western Nepal and that for the Centre-East Nepal are almost same. The crust and the mantle beneath west and center-east are homogeneous.

Effect of Subcision and Microneedling in the Treatment of Atrophic Acne Scars in Ten Patients: A Case Series
Authors: Tandon Megha
Published: April 2021

Background: Acne vulgaris is a common condition with a prevalence of over 90% among adolescents and post- acne scarring is a well known sequelae. Different types of scars (ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars) warrant a customized approach of treatment for each type. We propose a novel treatment of atrophic acne scars using combination of subcision and microneedling.

Methods: Ten consecutive patients of skin types III - IV with moderate and severe facial acne scarring received three sequential subcision and microneedling treatments after informed consent over a period of three months with an interval of 4 weeks between each session. Goodman and Baron’s qualitative and quantitative acne scar grading systems along with side by side comparison of pre operative and post operative photographs were used for assessment at the end of three sessions of the combination procedure.

Results: Estimation of improvement with Goodman and Baron’s Global qualitative acne scarring system , we found good results in patients with Grades 3 and 4 acne scars. Out of 7 patients with grade 4 scars, 29% showed improvement by 2 grades and 71% showed improvement by 1 grade and all the 3 patients with grade 3 scars showed improvement by 1 grade. Quantitative assessment showed 30% patients had minimal improvement, 50% had moderate improvement and 20% had good improvement in scars.  Adverse effects were transient pain, erythema and oedema.

Conclusion: Subcision and microneedling are simple and inexpensive office procedures which in combination are well tolerated and are efficacious in treatment of moderate and severe acne scars.

Dimasa pandemi Covid-19 seperti saat ini yang sedang terjadi di negeri kita tercinta ini, bahkan bukan hanya Indonesia saja yang terdampak dari pandemi Covid-19, hampir seluruh negara terdampak oleh pandemi ini. Untuk mengurangi atau memutuskan mata rantai penyebaran virus corona, pemerintah menerapkan berbagai macam kebijakan, misal pada dunia kerja atau perkantoran serta instansi pemerintah memberlakukan sistem kerja WFH (Work From Home) yang lebih kita kenal bekerja dari rumah atau bekerja di rumah dan WFO (Work From Office) yang kita kenal bekerja di kantor. Bahkan Pemerintah juga menerapkan kebijakan mengenai Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB). Pada saat sedang WFO kita masih bisa memantau situasi di kantor tanpa mengalami kesulitan, namun ketika PSBB berlaku dan kita sedang WFH maka kita akan kesulitan untuk memantau atau monitoring keadaan yang berada di kantor, terlebih lagi kalau sebagai pimpinan di kantor tersebut, maka akan sulit untuk memonitoring situasi kantor. Dari kejadian inilah penulis menerapkan monitoring CCTV online menggunakan aplikasi Hik-Connet dan bisa kita akses dari mana saja tanpa harus datang ke lokasi kerja, Dengan penerapan monitoring menggunakan aplikasi Hik-Connet ini bahkan bisa menjangkau wilayah yang lebih luas, jadi monitoring CCTV bisa diakses kapan pun dan dimana pun kita berada, bahkan berbeda pulau ataupun negara kita masih tetap bisa mengaksesnya. Dengan penerapan monitoring online ini diharapkan pekerjaan kita untuk memantau kondisi kantor menjadi lebih mudah tanpa kita harus datang langsung ke lokasi kantor kita
Pay No Attention to That Man behind the Curtain: An Ethical Analysis of the Monetization of Menstruation App Data
Authors: Gross Marielle S. , Hood Amelia , Corbin Bethany
Published: April 2021

The revelation that menstruation tracking apps share sensitive data with third parties, like Facebook, provoked a sense of violation among users. This case highlights the need to address ethics and governance of health data created outside of traditional healthcare contexts. Commodifying health data breaches trust and entails health and moral risks. Through the metaphor of The Wizard of Oz, we argue that these apps approximate healthcare without the professional competency, fiduciary duties, legal protections and liabilities such care requires and thus represent an innovation in the annals of snake-oil salesmanship and the systematic devaluing of women’s bodies, lives, and work.

As avaliações dos bebês foram realizadas no início e ao final do período interventivo através da Escala do Desenvolvimento do Comportamento da Criança no Primeiro Ano de Vida. Foi utilizado o Teste de Wilcoxon para comparações do período pré para o pós-intervenção e descritivamente foi analisado o desenvolvimento dos bebês conforme o seu trimestre de vida. Os resultados sugerem que os bebês tiveram desempenho superior do período pré-intervenção para o pós-intervenção. Intervenções motoras e sensoriais nos primeiros anos de vida proporcionam mudanças positivas no desenvolvimento global dos bebês.
RATOS DE ACADEMIA ON-LINE: DEBATES SOBRE MUSCULAÇÃO EM UM FÓRUM VIRTUAL
Authors: Machado Eduardo Pinto , Fraga Alex Branco
Published: April 2021

“Rato de academia” é o termo com o qual se autodenominam os sujeitos viciados em exercícios físicos e preocupados em demasia com a busca da potencialização da musculatura corporal a qualquer custo. No intuito de atingir um alto nível de hipertrofia muscular, estes sujeitos pesquisam, trocam informações e debatem via internet sobre questões acerca da musculação, como, por exemplo, no fórum virtual Mundo Anabólico. O objetivo central do estudo consistiu em compreender como ocorrem as relações sociais no fórum virtual Mundo Anabólico, principalmente no que tange à utilização de esteroides anabolizantes na busca de um aprimoramento corporal pela via medicamentosa. O marco teórico-conceitual que subsidiou a movimentação analítica se baseou nas teorizações sobre enhancement corporal de Nikolas Rose, sobretudo nos estudos deste autor sobre a política da própria vida. A metodologia utilizada foi a netnografia, que consiste na realização de um estudo cultural através da imersão profunda em um grupo. Entretanto, diferentemente da etnografia, na netnografia a imersão ocorre a partir do ambiente virtual. Foi possível identificar que, no fórum, os participantes expressam seus sentimentos e buscam incentivo mútuo no treinamento, mostrando a existência de fortes laços sociais entre eles. O fórum Mundo Anabólico é um ambiente virtual muito organizado, contendo temas distribuídos em tópicos, de acordo com o interesse dos usuários, e com regras de postagem próprias. Além disso, identificamos que a utilização de esteroides anabolizantes é uma temática central que perpassa as diferentes discussões constantes no fórum virtual. Esses participantes não só postam as dúvidas como também dividem o mesmo objetivo: o anabolismo a qualquer custo, mesmo que esse corpo hipermusculoso dure apenas até o fim do verão.

Distraction osteogenesis with temporal bone remodeling for unicoronal craniosynostosis
Authors: Nguyen Phuong D. , Belal Ahmed , Washington George N. , Greives Matthew R. , Sandberg David I. , Fletcher Stephen A. , Shah Manish N.
Published: April 2021

Unicoronal craniosynostosis correction with fronto-orbital advancement and cranial vault remodeling has traditionally been the gold standard. Distraction osteogenesis has the advantage of increased size of movement without constriction of the scalp and decreased morbidity. Although fronto-orbital advancement and cranial vault remodeling are usually performed at 6 months of age or later, distraction osteogenesis is performed at a younger age, between 3 and 6 months, to take advantage of the infant bony physiology. Herein, the authors demonstrate a case of distraction osteogenesis for unicoronal craniosynostosis in a 3-month-old female with significant improvement of her orbital, nasal, and frontal symmetry.
