Published: September 2024

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common diseases in Western industrialized nations with an estimated 300 million people affected worldwide. Metabolic condition in diabetics leads to changes in almost all types of cells and organs in the body. Skin complications are among the most common. The fact that skin changes can precede diabetes mellitus, they have great diagnostic importance. Skin changes can also develop during diabetes mellitus, but sometimes they are related to internal organs and their complications or occur as a side effect of antidiabetic therapy. The worldwide prevalence in 2020 was 7.4% with an estimated 385 million affected adults and is expected to increase to 424 million by 2025. We present to you a case report of a 49-year-old patient, who comes for examination due to several ulcerous lesions on the right lower leg of different sizes that appeared two weeks ago, the lower leg is edematous and erythematous, in some places cicatrix from previous lesions can be observed. The patient gives information that she has diabetes mellitus, which is not adequately regulated, she was on tablet therapy for 10 years and for the last 10 years she has been on insulin therapy, but, despite this, the glycaemia is still inadequately regulated.

The main purpose of this study is to analyze and evaluate the attitudes and practices of using antidepressants, herbal products for the treatment of depression, as well as raising awareness about the use of antidepressants among respondents in Tetovo and the surrounding area. The target population randomly selected for the study was females and males aged 18 to 57 years. The study was conducted through the survey process with the Google Questionnaire platform. The vast majority of respondents used antidepressant with a doctor's recommendation with a figure of 71%, where the majority of antidepressant users were female, while 29% used antidepressant without a doctor's recommendation. As pharmaceutical preparations most often used benzodiazepines for the treatment of depression which since these results as a recommendation should be taken to raise awareness of the population for the treatment of depression and not only for its simultaneous treatment. Regarding the period of use of antidepressants without a doctor's recommendation according to the patient's need is very large from the study done and measures should be taken to raise awareness among the population not to use at all without a doctor's recommendation and if used follow the instructions given by the doctor. The number of users of herbal products is very small and disturbing as most individuals choose to use benzodiazepines to manage their distressing symptoms and from this we can recommend raising awareness by pharmacists to patients when purchasing products and done a clarification on the use of herbal products as an alternative. From the study, the majority of respondents think that the use of antidepressants as needed has been effective and that they are aware of the side effects of use, which should result in a massive awareness of the population including doctors, pharmacists and patients about the use of antidepressants.

Syria is a powerful member of the Arab league, member of the Islamic Cooperation Organization and member of Club of 77. The country also has a strategic location on the Mediterranean and is an important junction on the economic transit highway between the Indian Ocean and Black Sea. Armenian-Syrian relations have traditionally been friendly and cooperative since the days of the Soviet Union when, in 1979, President Hafez Assad paid a visit to Soviet Armenia on his way back from a visit to Moscow. The current Syria-Armenian community was formed due to the Armenian Genocide of 1915. Decades after the settlement of the refugees, the Armenians have turned into one of the most law-abiding communities of Syria and have contributed immensely to the growth of the Syrian economy. Syria was among the first to recognize the independence of the Republic of Armenia. Soon warm relations were established in the political, cultural, economic and scientific spheres, which gradually developed and deepened. Currently these relations are being strengthened. The paper highlights the two basic tracks of these relations: a) Armenian-Syrian diplomatic relations between 1991 and 208 and their development and extent, b) Agreements and Memorandums of Understanding signed between the two countries.

Published: September 2024

The growth of comet fish (Carassius auratus) in the vertiqua system using a biofical filter is motivated by limited land and water which can cause low water quality to affect the growth rate of fish. The utilization of technology needs to be done to overcome these problems and the technology used is vertiqua. Previous research showed that comet fish in the vertiqua system produced slow growth rates and had high ammonia levels. Therefore, vertiqua was modified in the filter section to become a biofical filter. The purpose of this research is to test the effectiveness of comet fish growth in the vertiqua system using a biofical filter. The benefits of this research are that the vertiqua system using a biofical filter can be a solution to overcome the problem of limited land and water, become a support for system cultivation innovation, and become a reference for further research. This research method uses descriptive methods, observation and interviews. The comet fish used in the study were 3-4 cm in size. The results of this study indicate that the vertiqua system using a biofical filter is still not effective in supporting fish growth. The growth rate of comet fish in the vertiqua system is significantly different from that in the soil pond and the growth rate of comet fish in the vertiqua system is lower than that of comet fish in the soil pond. Ammonia value is relatively high from the quality standard (>0.05). However, this system is able to maintain good fish survival and good water quality, especially in temperature, pH, and DO.

Dialog Menuju Transformasi

Published: September 2024

Jesus response to the Canaanite woman "It is not fair to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs" (Matt 15:26) has caused not a few problems of interpretation. How could Jesus call the Canaanite woman a dog, which is a derogatory description of the Gentiles? Who will not be shocked by Jesus' saying? Jesus seems to be out of character. However, did Jesus really intend to despise the woman and the foreigner?
It seems that Jesus' saying should be understood as a usage of rhetoric language. That is to say, Jesus was not expressing His understanding but He was quoting Israel's conception of woman and Gentiles in order to refuse and to correct it. In other words, He said this derogatory ironically to remind the Israelites how bad and incorrect their conception of God's salvation was.
On the other hand, as a Jew, Jesus was probably influenced by Jewish conception of woman and Gentiles. Matt 15:24, for instance, expresses how Jesus sees His mission as exclusively devoted to Israel. The fact that by the end of the story Jesus conceives the salvation as open to Gentiles shows that Jesus was transformed as well. Jesus' encounter and dialog with the Canaanite Woman transformed not only the Canaanite woman but also Jesus' perception of the Canaanite woman and Jesus' understanding of His own mission. At the beginning, He perceived the woman as a worthless person. By the end, He recognized her as someone with great faith and worthy for salvation. Thus, an encounter and a dialog with a person from different culture bring transformation of the both partners of dialog.

Authors: Alves Amaral Graziele , Gaspar da Silva Helen Shirley Maria
Published: September 2024

Com base no referencial teórico da Psicodinâmica do Trabalho, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo verificar as possibilidades de mobilização subjetiva de estagiárias que atuaram na escuta clínica do sofrimento no trabalho de profissionais da saúde. Foram realizadas cinco entrevistas semiestruturadas e os dados submetidos à análise de conteúdo. O recorte foi um estágio em Clínica do Trabalho desenvolvido em um Serviço-Escola de Psicologia e o foco do estudo foi a vivência das estagiárias envolvidos nessa clínica. Os resultados mostraram que o trabalho de escuta das estagiárias-clínicas possibilitou o uso da inteligência prática, a constituição da supervisão como um espaço público de fala, o reconhecimento e a cooperação, o que contribuiu para que houvesse mobilização subjetiva. O estágio possibilitou que as estagiárias pudessem vivenciar as dificuldades do real do trabalho clínico, ao mesmo tempo em que experimentaram o sentimento de utilidade do seu trabalho de escuta, além de terem se sentido reconhecidas pelos coletivos de trabalhadores atendidos, pelos colegas e pela supervisora, potencializando sua segurança pessoal. Escutar o sofrimento no trabalho foi uma oportunidade de vivenciar a relação entre o individual e o social, permitindo o contato com diversos saberes e fazeres. Os Serviços-Escola, por meio do atendimento a diferentes públicos, podem oportunizar a vivência dos estágios para além do modelo tecnicista de aplicação de métodos e técnicas aprendidos em sala de aula e levar a uma atuação mais comprometida socialmente.

RESUMO
Pesquisa quantitativa objetivou analisar as concepções de profissionais de Unidades Básicas de Saúde e de docentes e estudantes de uma Instituição Pública de Ensino Superior de Alagoas sobre relações interpessoais e seus impactos no processo de integração ensino-serviço. Foi construída e validada uma Escala Atitudinal tipo Likert, a qual foi aplicada aos profissionais, docentes e discentes. Os resultados revelaram que houve reconhecimento da importância das relações interpessoais no cotidiano das atividades, bem como da integração ensino-serviço no processo de formação dos estudantes; entretanto, destacaram-se limitado envolvimento dos profissionais dos serviços no planejamento das ações e insuficiência de cenários de práticas, fatores que podem dificultar o efetivo acolhimento aos alunos e resultar em posturas pouco flexíveis, comprometendo as relações interpessoais e os processos comunicativos entre os trabalhadores dos serviços, docentes e alunos.

Education presents itself as a central pillar for citizens’ training processes, whether within the family, at work, in institutions or in society. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Brazilian Constitution of 1988 guarantee education as an assured right that must be offered to the entire population. However, together with the growth in access to education for the various social classes, there is also a breakdown of education due to the entry of private institutions. This study aims to demonstrate the evolution and negative influences from the private sectors in Brazilian education, training less qualified professionals, thus harming the whole of society.

Authors:   Professor, Department of CSE, Narayana Engineering College, Gudur,Andhra Pradesh, 522006, India., P.K Venkateswar Lal
Published: September 2024

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) demand for secure communication is challenging due to its limited resource constraints. Hence, this research developed an effective distributed DOA estimation model through Direction Optimization Integrated Ranking Voting (DOIRV) to improve the performance of WSNs. The developed model comprises the multi-objective optimization model with the Whale technique for the WSN. The constructed DOIRV model uses objective function estimation with branch-and-bound for effective data transmission. The developed DOIRV model uses the Artificial Intelligence-based machine learning model for the DOA routing path computation and estimation. Finally, the DOIRV estimation is evaluated for the performance analysis with the consideration of the Cramer-Rao analysis for the data transmission in the WSN model. Simulation results stated that the proposed weighted technique significantly improves the network performance such as packet delivery ratio, throughput, and network delay. Analysis of the technique expressed that the proposed DOIRV technique exhibits effective performance rather than the conventional technique in terms of network delay, throughput, and packet delivery ratio. The comparative analysis stated that the performance of the proposed DOIRV model is ~13% higher than the conventional technique in terms of packet delivery ratio and ~18% higher for the throughput.

Exposure to Violence on New Media Platforms and its Relationship to Egyptian Youth’s Sense of Security: A Field Study (Arabic)
Authors: Adel Abdelfattah Mohamed Ahmed
Published: September 2024

New media has led to rapid changes in the behavior of its users in a way that indicates different forms of violence in order to support the frequent hostile behavior of an individual or a group, intending to seize control, whether by using power or lies, to harm others. This constitutes a hostile and frustrating media environment based on rejection, threats, and feelings of alienation, which affects the self-perception of individuals as well as their own sense of security. This study has been formulated to answer the following question: What is the relationship between exposure to the violence of new media and concepts of security among Egyptian youth? This descriptive study relied on the media survey method, using a field survey, and the comparative method as a study sample. The study was conducted on an available sample of 200 Egyptian youth users of new media in four governorates (Dakahlia, Cairo, Menia, and Port Said) aged 18-35 years. The sample was drawn using the snowball method. Results showed that Facebook is the platform on which the highest levels of exposure to different forms of violence occurs. The most prominent form is through shared images that devalue certain social groups, racist jokes, and abusive messages. There was also an inverse correlation between the exposure of the study sample and their own sense of security.

Este artigo de revisão explora as manifestações neuroftalmológicas associadas a cefaleias e distúrbios visuais, destacando a importância do diagnóstico precoce e do manejo adequado dessas condições. A revisão abrange diversas patologias, incluindo macroadenomas de hipófise, lúpus eritematoso sistêmico, glaucoma, neuropatia óptica isquêmica e criptococose, todas com potencial de causar sérios danos visuais se não tratadas de forma oportuna. A literatura revisada demonstra que cefaleias, muitas vezes vistas como sintomas comuns e benignos, podem ser sinais de condições graves que afetam a visão, exigindo uma abordagem multidisciplinar e o uso de tecnologias avançadas para o diagnóstico e monitoramento. A divergência de opiniões entre os autores quanto ao melhor manejo das manifestações neuroftalmológicas destaca a necessidade de abordagens personalizadas, que considerem as particularidades de cada paciente e o contexto clínico. O artigo conclui que o diagnóstico precoce, aliado a uma avaliação clínica rigorosa e ao uso de tecnologias diagnósticas, é fundamental para a prevenção de complicações graves e para a preservação da visão. Além disso, enfatiza a importância de pesquisas futuras focadas em biomarcadores precoces e na ampliação do acesso às tecnologias diagnósticas, visando melhorar os desfechos clínicos e a qualidade de vida dos pacientes.
