INTRODUÇÃO: A gestação de alto risco envolve condições médicas que aumentam os riscos para mãe e feto, como hipertensão, diabetes gestacional, infecções e doenças autoimunes. O manejo dessas condições frequentemente requer o uso de medicamentos como metildopa, insulina e hidroxicloroquina. A metildopa controla a hipertensão, a insulina trata o diabetes gestacional sem afetar o feto, e a hidroxicloroquina é usada para doenças autoimunes com bons resultados para a gestação. A escolha dos medicamentos deve ser feita com cuidado, baseando-se em uma avaliação individualizada dos riscos e benefícios. Este artigo visa revisar a segurança e eficácia desses medicamentos para orientar decisões clínicas e melhorar o cuidado em gestações de alto risco. METODOLOGIA: A pesquisa será uma revisão sistemática sobre a segurança e eficácia de medicamentos em gestantes de alto risco. Investigará como definir medicamentos seguros e eficazes, quais são comumente usados e suas implicações. A busca será feita nas bases de dados, utilizando descritores específicos e filtrando por publicações de 1994 a 2024 em português e inglês. Serão excluídos artigos irrelevantes, repetidos, em outros idiomas ou fora do período estabelecido.
RESULTADO: Durante a gestação de alto risco, o tratamento de condições como hipertensão e diabetes é essencial. Para hipertensão, medicamentos como metildopa, nifedipina e labetalol são considerados seguros e eficazes, embora possam causar efeitos colaterais como sedação e dores de cabeça. No caso do diabetes gestacional, a insulina é uma opção segura e eficaz, enquanto o uso da metformina ainda gera debates sobre sua segurança. Para tratar infecções, antibióticos como penicilinas e antivirais como o aciclovir são geralmente seguros. No tratamento de doenças autoimunes, a hidroxicloroquina é segura, e os corticosteroides são eficazes, mas devem ser usados com cautela devido a possíveis complicações. O gerenciamento adequado desses medicamentos é crucial para garantir a saúde da mãe e do feto. CONCLUSÃO: O manejo de gestantes de alto risco exige uma abordagem cuidadosa e personalizada na escolha de medicamentos, baseando-se em evidências científicas. A metildopa é segura para tratar hipertensão, a insulina é eficaz para diabetes gestacional sem atravessar a placenta, e a hidroxicloroquina é usada para doenças autoimunes, mostrando benefícios sem efeitos teratogênicos significativos.

Tubuh sebagai Manifesto: Pandangan Politik Sally Rooney dalam Normal People
Authors: Dewi Chintya , Ferdinal Ferdinal , Sudarmoko Sudarmoko
Published: August 2024

This research explores the role of the body in the Irish literary work, Normal People. Written by renowned Irish author Sally Rooney, the novel narrates how contemporary Irish society experiences shifts in its social structure. It delves into the lives of young Irish characters as they navigate social and political upheaval in relation to the Western culture that serves as their cultural axis. This culture is, in part, represented through the colonized form of the body. Rooney elevates this concept to emphasize her political stance that the body has become a manifesto in the ideological struggle against the encroaching Western influences. By employing Lucien Goldmann’s theoretical framework, this article demonstrates the intersection of the body and alcohol, connecting the historical memory of the Republic of Ireland with Northern Ireland. Moreover, the article contends that the United States of America has colonized the bodies of the Republic of Ireland’s society through the consumer patterns of popular culture introduced in television advertisements.

Keywords – Alcohol, Colonization, Political Beliefs, Popular Culture, Television Commercials.
ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ЗДІЙСНЕННЯ ОКРЕМИХ ПРОЦЕСУАЛЬНИХ ДІЙ ПІД ЧАС СУДОВОГО РОЗГЛЯДУ
У КРИМІНАЛЬНОМУ ПРОВАДЖЕННІ
Authors: Омельчук Л. В. , Фрідман-Козаченко М. М.
Published: August 2024

У статті виокремлюються деякі проблемні питання здійснення окремих процесуальних дій
під час судового розгляду у кримінальних провадженнях. Визначено, що досі є дискутованим
питання щодо подання доказів і формування матеріалів кримінального провадження
(кримінальної справи) у суді. Відмічено, що чинніш КПК України у такий спосіб унормував
судове провадження, що на його початку, згідно із cm. 349 КПК України, суд має у власному
розпорядженні лише обвинувальний акт і реєстр матеріалів досудового розслідування, що
містить: номер і найменування процесуальної дії, проведеної, у процесі досудового розслідування,
час її проведення; реквізити процесуальних рішень, прийнятих під час досудового розслідування,
вид заходу забезпечення кримінального провадження, дату та строк його застосування.
Відмічено, що КПК України забороняє надавати суду прокурором будь-яких інших документів,
крім наведених у cm. 291 КПК України, проте і не врегульовує питання щодо місця (особи)
перебування матеріалів кримінального провадження після підготовчого судового засідання та
на стадії судового провадження. На практиці під час судового провадження прокурор, який
підтримує державне (публічне) обвинувачення, прибуває в судове засідання з матеріалами
кримінального провадження. Узагальнено, що з метою забезпечення реалізації функції правосуддя
судом, а також досягнення завдань кримінального провадження варто більш детально та
послідовно унормувати положення щодо подання доказів у процесі судового провадження.
Питання щодо особливостей формування матеріалів судової справи та подання до суду
матеріалів кримінального провадження є важливими для чіткості й послідовності доказування, а
їх вирішення лише сприятиме досягненню мети правової визначеності процедури судового
провадження, що є запорукою законного й обґрунтованого судового рішення.

Impact of stress during adolescence on general and work-related stress in early adulthood: A prospective cohort study
Authors: Winding Trine Nøhr , Nielsen Mette Lykke , Grytnes Regine
Published: August 2024

High-stress levels during youth can negatively impact an individual’s long-term physical and psychological health and overall well-being, potentially extending into adulthood and affecting their work life. Further investigation is required to deepen our understanding of how the stress experienced during adolescence correlates with stress in early adult work life. Furthermore, exploring how factors within the psychosocial work environment and temporary employment contribute to stressful experiences is crucial. This study followed a cohort of 1275 Danish working adults born in 1989, tracking them from age 15 – 28. Participants reported perceived stress levels at ages 15, 18, and 21, and the outcomes included perceived stress and work-related stress at age 28. Additional information on the psychosocial work environment and temporary employment was collected at age 28. The study consistently identified associations between perceived stress during adolescence and perceived stress or work-related stress in adulthood. The psychosocial work environment variables significantly contributed to work-related stress and partially explained general perceived stress, particularly among those with more work experience. Occupational health professionals should be aware that stress during adolescence can result in stress in future work life. It is important to understand that perceived stress and work-related stress are distinct facets, requiring different prevention approaches.

Published: August 2024

Osteosarcoma, a primary malignant bone tumor, is the third most common cancer in children and adolescents under 20 years old. In recent decades, many osteosarcomar elated molecular targets, including long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), have been discovered or confirmed. This study aims to elucidate the gene expression and possible regulatory mechanisms of lncRNA HA117 in osteosarcoma. To achieve this, we downloaded 51 whole-transcriptome osteosarcoma sequencing samples from the NCBI Sequence Read Archive database and performed bioinformatics analysis. Geneexpression analysis of HA117 revealed no significant difference between the tumor and adjacent tissues. However, HA117 exhibited significant down-regulation in bothfresh and formalin‐fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples after chemotherapy. Bycombining two target gene prediction methods, we identified 11 and 83 target genes for HA117 in fresh and FFPE samples, respectively. Functional analysis indicated that these target genes are mainly located in the cytoplasm and nucleus, with most related to protein binding. In addition, Reactome analysis demonstrated that these target genes participate in the regulation of multiple metabolic pathways, predominantly in cellular responses to stress. Our findings suggest that chemotherapy may regulate downstream target genes by altering the expression of HA117, thereby inducing cellular stress response. Overall, our results indicate that HA117 may not function as an oncogene but could serve as a therapeutic target in osteosarcoma.

Published: August 2024

Academic engagement has been a persistent problem and potentially more harmful to the future well-being of the educational system in Nigeria, as students show low turnout in achievement. It is in the light of this, that this study investigated student academic engagement dimensions as predictors of Mathematics achievement in senior secondary school. A descriptive survey research approach was used for the investigation. Sample used in the research comprised 1680 senior secondary school 2 (SS2) offering Mathematics from the twenty one randomly selected schools in the three local government areas of Ogun State's Remo division. The instruments for the collection of data are Mathematics Student Academic Engagement Scale (MSAES) with and Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) with 0.88. Five hypotheses were developed and put to the test at a significant level. Results indicated that cognitive engagement significantly predicts Mathematics achievement (F = 8.950, p<0.05). The study also revealed that behavioural engagement significantly contribute to the variation in learners' mathematical achievement (F = 17.474, p<0.05), Further more emotional engagement significantly contribute to the variation in learners' mathematical achievement (F = 6.393, p<0.05). Result also revealed that the predictor variables cognitive, behavioural and emotional engagement when taken together significantly contribute to the variance in students’ Mathematics achievement (F = 6.205, p<0.05). This study concluded that Mathematics achievement is well predicted by student's dimension of academic engagement. Hence it is recommended that stakeholders in Nigeria secondary schools should ensure that the students are academically engaged.

Authors: Rofiee Mohd Salleh , Abdul Sahar Siti Suraya Maisarah , Lay Kek Teh , Salleh Mohd Zaki
Published: August 2024

We developed and validated a sensitive and robust method for quantifying homocysteine in human plasma using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Isocratic elution of the analyte and internal standard were achieved within 2 minutes using Zorbax Eclipse Plus C18 column, with 5% of mobile phase A (0.1% formic acid in water) and 95% of mobile phase B ( 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile). Quantification was performed using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode, based on parent and product ion transitions for L-Homocysteine (136 > 90.1, 56.2) and d8-DL-Homocysteine (140 > 94.1, 59.3) as the internal standard. The method was validated for linearity, sensitivity, accuracy, precision, recovery, and stability. Good linearity was observed within a range of 250-3000 ng-1, with correlation coefficients (r2 = 0.98). The extraction recovery ranged between 83% and 92%. Homocysteine remained stable under all five tested conditions, including 2 and 8 hours on the benchtop at room temperature, overnight storage in the autosampler (10 ºC), three freeze-thaw cycles (-20 ºC), and long-term storage (1 month) at -20 ºC. Based on these findings, the developed method met the criteria as stipulated by European Medicines Agency (EMA), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and International Council of Harmonisation (ICH). In conclusion, this validated method can be used for quantitating homocysteine levels in human plasma.
A Discrete Marstrand Type Slicing Theorem with the Mass Dimension
Authors: Pathak Aritro
Published: August 2024

Discretized versions of some central questions in geometric measure theory have attracted recent attention; here we prove a Marstrand type slicing theorem for the subsets of the integer square lattice. This problem is the dual of the corresponding projection theorem, which was considered by Glasscock, and Lima and Moreira, with the mass and counting dimensions applied to subsets of $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$. In this paper, more generally we deal with a subset of the plane that is $1$-separated, and the result for subsets of the integer lattice follows as a special case. We show that the natural slicing question in this setting is true with the mass dimension.
Constructing Maximal Pipedreams of Double Grothendieck Polynomials
Authors: Chou Chen-An , Yu Tianyi
Published: August 2024

Pechenik, Speyer and Weigandt defined a statistic rajcode(⋅) on permutations which characterizes the leading monomial in top degree components of double Grothendieck polynomials. Their proof is combinatorial: They showed there exists a unique pipedream of a permutation w with row weight rajcode(w) and column weight rajcode(w-1). They proposed the problem of finding a "direct recipe" for this pipedream. We solve this problem by providing an algorithm that constructs this pipedream via ladder moves.
Computing a Class of Blow-up Solutions for the Navier-Stokes Equations
Authors: Boldrighini C. , Frigio S. , Maponi P. , Pellegrinotti A.
Published: August 2024

The three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations play a fundamental role in a large number of applications to fluid motions, and a large amount of theoretical and experimental studies were devoted to it. Our work is in the context of the Global Regularity Problem, i.e., whether smooth solutions in the whole space R3 can become singular (“blow-up”) in a finite time. The problem is still open and also has practical importance, as the singular solutions would describe new phenomena. Our work is mainly inspired by a paper of Li and Sinai, who proved the existence of a blow-up for a class of smooth complex initial data. We present a study by computer simulations of a larger class of complex solutions and also of a related class of real solutions, which is a natural candidate for evidence of a blow-up. The numerical results show interesting features of the solutions near the blow-up time. They also show some remarkable properties for the real flows, such as a sharp increase of the total enstrophy and a concentration of high values of velocities and vorticity in small regions.

Clinical application of eight-zone laparoscopic dissection strategy for rectal cancer: Experience and discussion
Authors: Chen Chang , Zhang Xiang , Li Xin , Wang Yan-Lei
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

The incidence of rectal cancer is increasing worldwide, and surgery remains the primary treatment modality. With the advent of total mesorectal excision (TME) technique, the probability of tumor recurrence post-surgery has significantly decreased. Surgeons' focus has gradually shifted towards minimizing the impact of surgery on urinary and sexual functions. Among these concerns, the optimal dissection of the rectal lateral ligaments and preservation of the pelvic floor neurovascular bundle have become critical. To explore the optimal surgical technique for TME and establish a standardized surgical protocol to minimize the impact on urinary and sexual functions, we propose the eight-zone dissection strategy for pelvic floor anatomy.

AIM

To compare the differences in surgical specimen integrity and postoperative quality of life satisfaction between the traditional pelvic floor dissection strategy and the innovative eight-zone dissection strategy.

METHODS

We analyzed the perioperative data of patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University between January 1, 2021 and December 1, 2023. This study included a total of 218 patients undergoing laparoscopic radical surgery for rectal cancer, among whom 109 patients underwent traditional pelvic floor dissection strategy, and 109 patients received the eight-zone dissection strategy.

RESULTS

There were no significant differences in general characteristics between the two groups. Patients in the eight-zone dissection group had higher postoperative specimen integrity (88.1% vs 78.0%, P = 0.047). At the 3-month follow-up, patients in the eight-zone surgery group had better scores in urinary issues (6.8 ± 3.3 vs 5.3 ± 2.5, P = 0.045) and male sexual desire (2.2 ± 0.6 vs 2.5 ± 0.5, P = 0.047) compared to the traditional surgery strategy group.

CONCLUSION

This study demonstrates that the eight-zone dissection strategy for laparoscopic lateral ligament dissection of rectal cancer is safe and effective. Compared with the traditional pelvic floor dissection strategy, this approach can reduce the risk of nerve injury and minimize the impact on urinary and sexual functions. Therefore, we recommend the clinical application of this strategy to better serve patients with rectal cancer.

This article aims to study the economic phenomenon of beautiful women in Thailand, including its definition, characteristics, impact, and future development. Thailand, often hailed for its stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage, is also renowned for its exquisite beauty. The allure of Thai beauties has transcended personal emotions to become a significant economic force in the country. Through an in-depth analysis of Thailand's beauty economy, this paper explores its impact on Thai society, economy, and culture, shedding light on the profound influence of beauty in this Southeast Asian nation. Thai beauties have long been the dream objects of men all over the world, attracting tourists and enthusiasts alike. However, their influence extends beyond admiration, as it has played a pivotal role in Thailand's tourism, entertainment, and labor markets. This influence has not only fuelled economic growth but has also had far-reaching effects on Thai society and culture (Norton 2001). As we delve into the intricate dynamics of the beauty economy, we aim to understand how it has shaped Thailand's identity and economy. Furthermore, we will offer insights and suggestions for promoting the healthy and sustainable development of this remarkable economic phenomenon.

Published: August 2024

Electronic and structural properties of calcium clusters with a varying size range of 2–20 atoms are studied using a two-step scheme within the GW and density functional theory (DFT) with generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The GGA overestimates the binding energies, optimized geometries, electron affinities, and ionization potentials reported in the benchmark. The ground-state structure geometry and binding energy were obtained from the DFT for the ground-state structure of each cluster. The binding energy of the neutral clusters of the calcium series follows an increasing trend, except for a few stable even and odd clusters. The electronic properties of the calcium cluster were studied with an all-electron FHI-aims code. In the G0W0 calculation, the magic cluster Ca10 has relatively high ionization potential and low electron affinity. The obtained ionization potentials from the G0W0@PBE calculation showed that the larger cluster has less variation, whereas the electron affinities of the series have an increasing trend. The ionization potentials from the G0W0 benchmark for the calcium cluster series have not yet been described in the literature.
La epistemología cultural en el Perú: por un futuro cualitativo holístico
Authors: Sanchez Janina M.
Published: August 2024

Esta reflexión teórica hermenéutica cultural (Gilbert Durand, 2002) tiene como objetivo evidenciar la problemática de la producción científica de posgrado en Ciencias Humanas, Sociales y de Salud en el Perú, al mantener el racionalismo moderno y la lógica del método cuantitativo de investigación en esas áreas. Según lo observado en la trayectoria antropológica, se mantiene el positivismo vivo, cerrado a la complejidad de la vida contemporánea. Metodológicamente, analizo cuatro experiencias, entre 2005 y 2023, en universidades públicas que siguen directrices de la SUNEDU. Para la reflexión teórica, recurro a Bachelard (1996) en su concepto "obstáculo epistemológico"; también a Quijano (2014), en su idea de descolonización intelectual; a Maffesoli (2005), sobre la lógica sensible y Corinne Enaudeau (1999), sobre la representación, actualizando el concepto de esquizofrenia social de Janina Sanchez (2007). Propongo adoptar la investigación cualitativa integral holística con principios de la cosmovisión andina, la solidaridad Yanapay y el Alli Kawsay, o bien vivir espiritual.
Potencial terapéutico de bacteriófagos frente al Staphylococcus aureus resistente a la meticilina
Authors: Ilbay-Mayta Jennifer Elizabeth , Rosero-Freire Daniela Alexandra
Published: August 2024

La resistencia a los antimicrobianos es un fenómeno en el cual los microorganismos como las bacterias se vuelven resistentes a los medicamentos que antes eran efectivos para eliminarlas o controlar su crecimiento. Según la OMS. uno de los patógenos prioritarios que necesita una alternativa terapéutica es el Staphylococcus aureus resistente a la meticilina (MRSA), debido a su gran cantidad de mecanismos de patogenicidad, su capacidad de sintetizar biopelículas y su particularidad de variación clonal para expandirse y colonizar nuevos medios. La terapia con bacteriófagos ha mostrado un amplio enfoque para tratar infecciones causadas por este patógeno, dada su alta especifcidad y efectividad para matar a la bacteria huésped. Sin embargo, aún se hallan algunos obstáculos para su uso terapéutico en humanos, por lo que se requiere realizar más ensayos clínicos. En este artículo de investigación se detallan casos y estudios clínicos que proporcionan información útil que puedan acotar con otros estudios clínicos posteriores.

No estudo, foi delineado o objetivo geral: analisar a gestão do mercado de Namiconha para comercialização de produtos agrícolas. Para a concretização da pesquisa, optou-se por uma pesquisa qualitativa, sustentado com a teoria de Douglass North, seguido do estudo de caso que teve 11 participantes, submetidos às técnicas de obtenção de dados: entrevista e observação; a técnica de análise dos resultados utilizada foi análise de conteúdo. Os resultados obtidos ilustram que: a gestão do mercado Namiconha é imperfeita, o mesmo remete-se à atribuição de praça de mercado em sua classificação, o plano do Município está focado para o mercado informal, onde, as ações dos vendedores ambulantes afetam negativamente a organização do mercado para a comercialização. Ainda, observou-se que a praça de mercado é muito preferida pelos vendedores. De modo geral, o mercado de Namiconha não está organizado para permitir a comercialização de produtos agrícolas.

O Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos (PAA) é uma política pública que utiliza o poder de compras do governo federal para promover o fortalecimento da agricultura familiar e combater a insegurança alimentar e nutricional no Brasil. Este texto apresenta uma análise das aquisições do PAA no período 2011-2019 com o objetivo de discutir as contribuições do programa para a segurança alimentar e nutricional (SAN) e debater as suas perspectivas futuras. Foi constatado que o programa adquiriu uma elevada variedade de produtos, que incluem alimentos e sementes, tendo sido contabilizados 1.211 diferentes itens adquiridos no período. Entre os alimentos adquiridos, observou-se o predomínio das classes in natura (IN) e minimamente processado (MP), as quais corresponderam juntas por 97,1% das aquisições. A modalidade Compra com Doação Simultânea (CDS) foi responsável pela maior parte das aquisições (57,5% da quantidade e 93% da variedade), sendo as suas aquisições representadas principalmente pelos grupos das frutas e verduras. Os resultados indicaram que a alimentação adquirida pelo PAA está de acordo com as orientações do Guia alimentar para a população brasileira para uma alimentação adequada e saudável, contribuindo não apenas para a saúde e segurança alimentar dos seus beneficiários diretos, como também para a promoção de um sistema alimentar mais sustentável. Porém, foi observada uma drástica redução dos montantes aplicados em compras ao longo do período analisado, o que pode comprometer a capacidade do programa de gerar esses benefícios. Além disso, houve recentes mudanças de legislação nesta política pública, as quais, além de mudarem o nome do programa, deixaram de fora alguns pontos importantes contidos nos seus normativos anteriores. Portanto, para que haja a continuidade dos seus benefícios, recomenda-se que todas as especificidades contidas nos normativos anteriores sejam resgatadas na nova legislação e, principalmente, que mais recursos voltem a ser disponibilizados para as aquisições do programa.
Agricultura familiar nordestina, políticas públicas e segurança alimentar

Published: August 2024

A notável expansão da produção agrícola brasileira nas últimas décadas não foi, uniforme no território e nem com relação a espécies cultivadas e por tipo de produção animal. Algumas lavouras prosperaram significativamente mais que outras e se expandiram em ritmo mais acentuado. Nesse cenário, como se comportou a evolução da produção de itens básicos da alimentação da população brasileira, produtos voltados eminentemente para o mercado interno? Para tentar responder a tal pergunta, analisa-se, por meio dos dados do Censo Agropecuário do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) relativo a 2017 (IBGE, 2019), a produção da agricultura familiar nordestina de alguns produtos agropecuários selecionados que se constituem em itens da cesta básica regional. A partir dessa análise, relaciona-se a produção da agricultura familiar e a segurança alimentar regional e das próprias famílias de agricultores e, por último, investiga-se a conexão da agricultura familiar, por intermédio da produção de itens básicos, com programas federais promotores da segurança alimentar, como o Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos (PAA) e o Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE), promotores da segurança alimentar na região. Tais programas, bem como sua ligação com a agricultura familiar e seus impactos sobre a segurança alimentar regional, constituem o segundo, e maior, objetivo deste estudo. De que modos esses programas contribuem para a segurança alimentar da região Nordeste? De que maneira estes se relacionam com a agricultura familiar regional? O Nordeste exemplifica um cenário em que os agricultores familiares (AFs) já foram inseridos em algum grau pelas respectivas políticas, contribuindo com objetivos mais amplos destas. Em resumo, este trabalho destaca a importância destes como medida de incentivo para a produção da agricultura familiar nordestina.

Neste relatório, apresentam-se os achados dos tribunais estaduais de justiça comum (TJs). A pesquisa contemplou, ainda, os tribunais regionais federais e tribunais militares, que foram apresentados em relatórios próprios (Ipea, 2023a; Ipea, 2023b; Ipea, 2023c). Devido à limitação de tempo para a conclusão do projeto, foram priorizadas as análises dos tribunais estaduais de justiça comum – que concentram cerca de 99% das ações criminais por tráfico de drogas do universo da pesquisa –, de modo que este Relatório Institucional é mais extenso e completo comparativamente aos demais produzidos, contendo tabelas e gráficos adicionais.
