CUIDADOS BÁSICOS COM A GESTANTE E O NEONATO FELINO – REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
Authors: Gaspar César Albuquerque Barboza
Published: September 2021

Introdução: A vulnerabilidade fisiológica neonatal associada ao manejo nutricional incorreto, traumas, quantidade de filhotes por parto, obesidade, alternância da produção láctea, negligencias maternas e partos distócicos (intervenções obstétricas e cesarianas), assim como causas atípicas como o canibalismo, levando a uma taxa de mortalidade neonatal elevada nas primeiras semanas de vida. A fim de definir uma estratégia sanitária eficiente, o planejamento de manejo clínico e alimentar, apropriado para a fêmea gestante é de suma importância o devido diagnóstico precoce da gestação. Diferente da gestação humana, na qual é usado teste sanguíneo para detectar o Beta HCG, não existe teste sanguíneo confirmando a gestação na gata. Entretanto, a relaxina, um hormônio produzido pelo feto e placenta juntos, tem os seus níveis aumentados durante a gestação. Objetivos: Esta revisão de literatura possui como objetivo demonstrar os principais cuidados que devemos ter com a gestante e o neonato felino, assim como informações essenciais a respeito dos mesmos. Material e Métodos: O conteúdo abordado em questão teve o seu embasamento teórico sustentado por diversas leituras de conceitos básicos e aprofundados sobre o tema em diversos trabalhos encontrados no PubMed, SCIELO, Atlas e livros com os temas de neonatologia e pediatria em pequenos animais, e, neonatologia felina, no ano de 2017. Resultados: Evitando o quadro de hipoglicemia, algumas receitas caseiras foram estabelecidas a fim de tornarem o leite bovino mais adaptado aos neonatos felinos, no momento em que as formulações comerciais forem inacessíveis. O leite substituto foi administrado através da mamadeira em um intervalo de 3 horas, e, os neonatos defecaram e urinaram espontaneamente. Após a quarta semana de vida, os filhotes passaram a apresentar um certo controle cortical sobre as funções de defecar e urinar, passando a terem um desenvolvimento neonatal ideal. Conclusão: Entende-se que o acompanhamento pré-natal e neonatal, feito pelo médico veterinário, abordando de forma menos generalista e atendendo as especificidades do neonato e da gestante, é crucial para o nascimento de filhotes hígidos e para diminuição dos índices de mortalidade neonatal. Portanto, dominar a fisiologia do neonato assim como a sua fase gestacional é de suma importância para os médicos veterinários.

Biopolymer Poly Hydroxy Butyrate (PHB) is gaining importance based on its physiochemical and biological characteristics. Hence, the characteristics of the PHB extracted from soil bacterial isolate as studied with an aim of developing a 2D films for biomedical applications. The isolates from soil samples were screened for the ability to produce PHB and confirmed using Sudan black staining methods. The physio-chemical characteristics were studied using FTIR, FESEM and GCMS analysis. FTIR spectrum obtained for the extracted polymer shows peaks at 1723.51 cm-1and 1287.63 cm-1 which confirms that the extracted polymer is PHB. FESEM image reveals the presence of pores of different size throughout the sample. The surface consists of multiple pores with different sizes. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of various compounds attributing for the PHB production from the isolate. As a biological characteristic, a novel wound dressing 2D laminate bio composite films were developed using PHB extracts. The antibacterial activity of the developed film showed significant inhibitory zones against Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The present research work showed promising results and proved that the PHB obtained from bacterial sp. can be used as an alternative to non-degradable plastics with a wide range of applications in biomedical industries.

The current situation of COVID 19 not only involves global health crisis but also economic and social crises. It has brought about a change in the system of education by conducting all academic activities online. Acc. to ILO, a world of universal distance education (as nearly 94% of learners have faced school closures) is created. Online education is a new concept for most Indians, creates room for incivility. Incivility is defined as a lack of manners, courteousness, and respect which deteriorates the decorum leading to disturbance in teaching and learning of the class. This study is focused on incivility in online teaching and learning. A total of 130 college students from around the country were asked to fill an open-ended online questionnaire to know their views on incivility in the online classroom. The overall thematic analysis resulted in the identification of three themes i.e. reported incidents, possible causes, and measures to reduce incivility in the online classrooms. In the time of pandemic where almost all the dissemination of education is done online to minimize the effect of the pandemic on the education system, incivility is a stumbling block. Therefore, it is important to bring incivility in online education in limelight as tackling incivility is the need of the hour.

Kanser mortalite ve morbidite oranı yüksek seyreden önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Kanser hastaları gerek hastalıkları gerekse tedavinin yan etkilerinden dolayı çeşitli semptomlar yaşarlar. Bu semptomlar genellikle ağrı, kaygı, yorgunluk gibi bulgular olup, tedavi edilmezlerse kişinin yaşam kalitesini olumsuz yönde etkilemektedirler. Kişinin yaşam kalitesini azaltan bu semptomlar kanser tedavisinde aksamalara ya da tedaviden vazgeçmeye kadar oldukça önemli kararlar alınmasına sebep olabilmekte, kürlerin tamamlanamaması da kanserin yayılımını hızlandırarak mortaliteyi artırmaktadır. Kanser ağrısının ve kaygısının tedavisinde farmakolojik ve farmakolojik olmayan yöntemler kullanılmaktadır. Farmakolojik yöntemlerin ilaca tolerans, bağımlılık gibi olası yan etkilerinin olmasından dolayı farmakolojik olmayan yöntemlerin kullanımının araştırılması önemlidir.

This study aims to determine the effect of womens dual roles on family harmony. A qualitative descriptive approach was used in this study. The results show the factors that cause women to play a dual role, namely: the economic needs of her family are increasing, she wants to use the knowledge she has, she wants to help her husband meet family needs, she works to fill spare time, her husband dies, her husband an unemployed person. It is not true that the opinion that says that if women work outside the home, the result is that the family situation is not harmonious, because from this research it is proven that the informants families remain harmonious even though they are women who play a dual role. But there are impacts, namely: the closeness to family members, especially with children is reduced, the division of labor at home is reduced, and interaction with the community is also reduced.

Kilka węgierskich queerobrazów
Authors: Pabijanek Katarzyna
Published: September 2021

The objective of this article is to present the works of art by Róbert Szabó Benke. I claim that Róbert Szabó Benke is probably the only representative of the Hungarian queer scene who has managed to create a very articulate way of expression, actively engaged in the critique of the Hungarian heteromatrix. I think that he has also succesfully crossed the borders of the hermetic circle of artists creating for the hermetic public. Szabó Benke has managed to work out an original language confronting the underlying heteronormative rules that constrain most of the artistic production in Hungary. His works show that the utopic potential of queer theory is very easy to translate into the language of art, and that it can have a powerful role in fighting marginalization of minority cultures.
Queer Subject Economies. Managing Diversity and Precariousness in Neoliberalism
Authors: Woltersdorff Volker
Published: September 2021

This essay critically scrutinizes the concept of diversity management that is more and more applied by internationally operating companies, encompassing also sexual diversity among its criteria. It therefore analyses several advertisements that implicitly or explicitly address sexual diversity at the workplace and in the sphere of consumption. In particular, the author highlights the status of queer subjectivities in neoliberalism and how queerness is shaped under neoliberal conditions. He argues that queerness is signified in neoliberal discourse as a paradigm for the successful private management of precarious subject positions. Therefore sexual diversity is welcomed for the price of individual responsibility for risk taking and social care.

Back Seat Girls: Where Do Dykes Sit with Queer theory?
Authors: Harris Anne
Published: September 2021

Drawing on the narrative frames of the "road trip" and "lesbian drama," genres which, it could be argued, normatively construct Otherness with all that is Queer, in respect to not fitting in or belonging, this article attempts to draw on queer theory to out gay male and lesbian relationships. Relationships between gay men and lesbians, constructed in and around identity practices, have been troubled by the emergence of queer folk, productively focusing attention on the differences between and within gay male and lesbian identities and communities. Using the metaphor of "road trip" to Queer gay male and lesbian relationships, I reconsider the question of lesbian presences in queer theory and in doing so seek to productively trouble the normalising practices of identity with gay male and lesbian relationships.
Kształtowanie się płci kulturowej dzieci w rodzinach jednopłciowych. Wpływ tożsamości seksualnej na postrzeganie ról płciowych
Authors: Banach Katarzyna
Published: September 2021

The aim of this paper is to present an overview of research on gender identity development of children raised either in same-sex families or by a non-heterosexual parent. Not only is it significant to explore whether the families under consideration socialise their children in any different way than heterosexual parents do. It is also worth investigating whether or not children from non-heteronormative families exhibit any traits stereotypically ascribed to their sex/gender to a greater extent than their peers from heterosexual families. As it turns out, stronger gender nonconformity of children from non-heterosexual families may be one of very few differences between children from these two family models.

If queer theory were my lover
Authors: Long Nathan
Published: September 2021

Based on a presentation delivered at the Parameters of Desire conference in Bielsko-Biala, Poland, June 8-11, 2003, "If Queer Theory Were My Lover” attempts to examine the role of queer theory in the academy using a multi-genre-or trans-genre-format, including personal essay, academic essay, questions, humor, performance, and allegorical fiction. Taking an anti-institutional approach, this work explores how the academy affects the physical bodies of those within it, how we as "queer theorists” position ourselves in relation to our queerness and to theory, and if the goal of queer theory is to be accepted by the academy or to challenge it.
Nienormatywna rodzina heteroseksualna z dzieckiem – opresyjność roli
Authors: Kluczyńska Urszula
Published: September 2021

There is the stereotypical but socially accepted expectation as to the family notion: how it should be structured, how the tasks should be distributed and what functions each member of a family should perform. Social expectations are one-track and unambiguous: one person is to fulfil the role of a woman/wife/mother, and the other that of a man/husband/father. The divisions are clearly defined and every indication of diversity is treated as pathology. I assume that the category of role might be oppressive not only in non-normative families, but in all types, including heterosexual households. Heterosexual family with a child (perceived as norm by the society) might be described as non-normative if norm, i.e. social expectations of the way of fulfilling the role by the father and the mother – is not conformed to the way people see it. The main aim of this article is to denote role oppression (especially in the role of a woman/wife/mother and a man/husband/father) not only in alternative family types (especially homosexual ones,) but in heterosexual families with children as well. The article will try to examine what makes such families non-normative too. This is going to be an analysis of the case study of a heterosexual family with children, whose members do not assume the clearly defined roles of a man/father and a woman/mother, established as the norm. It is significant that the family described themselves as non-normative, because they notice the clash between the existing norm and their way of functioning.
AniLid: A. Augspurg i L. Gustava Heymann – feministki i pacyfistki z przełomu wieków jako patronki współczesnego ruchu lesbijskiego w Niemczech
Authors: Dadej Iwona
Published: September 2021

Lida Gustava Heymann and Anita Augspurg - activists of the first-wave radical German feminist movement - recently became the patrons of contemporary nonheterosexual women in their struggle for women's rights. This choice of patrons is not accidental: for more than 40 years, Anita and Lida Gustava constituted a community of interests, activism, and emotions. But what does this couple, which lived a century ago and never came out of the closet, have in common with the contemporary feminist and lesbian movement? Was this choice unquestionably right? It certainly forces us to ask whether the contemporary feminist-lesbian movement is a new quality or whether it continues attitudes and postulates from a hundred years ago. Augspurg's and Heyman's example (the way their memory is present in the contemporary lesbian movement) is significant. The two figures, their commitment, their influence on the women's and pacifist movement, as well as their attitude towards homosexuality constitute the main themes of this introductory paper.

This article attempts to answer the question what are the family definitions of persons who maintain openly non-monogamous relationships. In the theoretical part of this article I examine the difficulties and controversies around defining family. I also present the overview of research on non-monogamous persons' families. The second part of this article refers to my own study of non-monogamous people in Poland, particularly their family notions. First I briefly describe the methodology, research techniques and sample group, then I present my study results. I concentrate on how my respondents understand family and how these definitions relate to the notions of “family of blood” and “family of choice” (Weston, za: Mizielińska 2006). I also focus on the question of the role of children in the family as defined by non-monogamous persons
Czy dyskurs transseksualistyczny ma jednoznacznie wyzwalający czy ambiwalentny charakter?
Authors: Nowak Urszula
Published: September 2021

Transsexuality, which refers to the conflict between gender and physical sex, can pose a challenge to feminist theory(ies) as well as to queer theory(ies) and queer movement. The aim of this essay is therefore to analyze the status of transsexual discourse within feminism, with the focus on Judith Butler's reflection, and within queer theory. The question, raised at first by Henrietta Moore, is if those who operate on their bodies and identities do really overthrow sexual difference and gender or maybe they are simply imprisoned in their murderous arms. It is being underlined that transsexual people can really point at instability and discontinuity of gender identities. However, this is somewhat problematic as, from the pragmatic point of view, it may cause a lot of problems to them, i.e. by limiting their access to proper medical treatment.
The Queer Rhetoric of Bollywood: A case of mistaken identity
Authors: Dasgupta Rohit
Published: September 2021

The paper addresses the queer representation of fictional characters and gay framing, analyzing the concept of "dosti" and "yaarana" and the trope of the homo-social triangle in Hindi cinema. This film trajectory presupposes the existence of homosexuality but relies on the inevitability of heterosexuality. This strand explores traditional social themes such as love, family, tradition but within this builds up an alternative "invisible" queer narrative. By acknowledging the slippages between "real identity" and "mistaken identity" the films usher in a new queer cinematic discourse within popular Bollywood. In this paper I will chiefly look at Nikhil Advani and Karan Johar's Kal Ho Na Ho (If Tomorrow Never Comes, 2004); and Tarun Mansukhani and Karan Johar's Dostana (Friendship, 2008) and see how Queer Representations in Indian Cinema address the invisibile queer politics through a case of mistaken identity(ies).
Medykalizacja męskiej seksualności
Authors: Kluczyńska Urszula
Published: September 2021

The article presents an analysis of the medicalization of male sexuality. The author demonstrates how medicine has taken control over the male body and sexuality, established norms of sexuality, and also how sexuality is reduced to sexual practices and phallicism. The author makes an attempt to resign from the heteronormative way of perceiving male sexuality – which is supported by medical discourse – and focuses on a variety of ways in which homosexual or transsexual male sexuality is constructed.
Queer Postnationalism in ‘Breakfast On Pluto’
Authors: Pöhlmann Sascha
Published: September 2021

This article seeks to analyze Patrick McCabe's 1998 novel Breakfast on Pluto with regard to its representation of national and gender boundaries, arguing that the text, while not exactly fully qualifying as queer, employs similar deconstructive strategies with regard to identities constructed by discourses of nationality and gender alike, and is indeed especially successful in this project when these subversions converge. To this end, the essay establishes a theory of postnationalism, defining the term as anything that seeks to challenge the hegemony of nation-ness as an abstract concept as well as its ideological and material manifestations. As such, postnationalism clearly profits from learning from a similar project undertaken by queer theory with regard to identities of gender, sex, and sexuality. Breakfast on Pluto offers an important textual example of how these discursive and material practices of resistance against essentialist views of identity parallel each other, and how a literary imagination can work to question these boundaries.
Simulated impacts of vertical distributions of black carbon aerosol on meteorology and PM2.5 concentrations in Beijing during severe haze events
Authors: Chen Donglin , Liao Hong , Yang Yang , Chen Lei , Zhao Delong , Ding Deping
Published: September 2021

Abstract. Vertical profiles of black carbon (BC) play a critical role in BC-meteorology interaction which influences PM2.5 (particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 μm or less) concentrations. In this study, we used the Weather Research and Forecasting with Chemistry model (WRF-Chem) coupled with an improved integrated process (IPR) analysis scheme to investigate the direct radiative effect (DRE) of BC with different vertical profiles on meteorology and PM2.5 concentrations in Beijing during two severe haze events (11–12 December 2016 and 16–19 December 2016). The vertical profiles of BC in Beijing collected by King-Air350 aircraft can be classified into two types: the first type was characterized by decreases in BC concentration with altitude, which was the case mainly controlled by local emissions; the second type had maximum BC concentration around 900 hPa, which was mainly affected by regional transport from the polluted south/southwest region. Compared with measurements in Beijing, the model overestimated BC concentrations by 87.4 % at the surface and underestimated BC mass by 14.9 % at altitudes of 300–900 m altitude as averaged over the two pollution events. The BC DRE with the default vertical profiles from the model heated the air around 300 m altitude but the warming would be stronger when BC vertical profiles were modified for each day using observed data during the two severe haze events. Accordingly, compared to the simulation with the default vertical profiles of BC, planetary boundary layer heights (PBLH) were reduced further by 24.7 m (6.7 %) and 6.4 m (3.8 %) in Beijing and simulated PM2.5 concentrations were higher by 9.3 μg m−3 (4.1 %) and 5.5 μg m−3 (3.0 %) over central Beijing in the first and second haze events, respectively, with modified vertical profiles. Furthermore, we quantified by sensitivity experiments the roles of BC vertical profiles with six exponential decline functions (C(h) = C0 × e−h/hs and hs = 0.35, 0.48, 0.53, 0.79, 0.82 and 0.96) parameterized on the basis of the observations and the vertical profile dominated by regional transport. A larger hs leads to a sharper decline of BC concentrations with altitude (less BC at the surface and more BC in the upper atmosphere), resulting in a stronger cooling at the surface (+0.21 with hs of 0.35 vs. −0.13 °C with hs of 0.96) and hence larger reductions in PBLH (larger BC-induced increases in PM2.5). Relative to the simulation without BC DRE, the mean PM2.5 concentrations were increased by 5.5 μg m−3 (3.4 %) and 7.9 μg m−3 (4.9 %) with BC DRE when hs values were 0.35 and 0.96, respectively. Our results indicate that it is very important to have accurate vertical profiles of BC in simulations of meteorology and PM2.5 concentrations during haze events.
Predicting gas–particle partitioning coefficients of atmospheric molecules with machine learning
Authors: Lumiaro Emma , Todorović Milica , Kurten Theo , Vehkamäki Hanna , Rinke Patrick
Published: September 2021

Abstract. The formation, properties, and lifetime of secondary organic aerosols in the atmosphere are largely determined by gas–particle partitioning coefficients of the participating organic vapours. Since these coefficients are often difficult to measure and to compute, we developed a machine learning model to predict them given molecular structure as input. Our data-driven approach is based on the dataset by Wang et al. (2017), who computed the partitioning coefficients and saturation vapour pressures of 3414 atmospheric oxidation products from the Master Chemical Mechanism using the COSMOtherm programme. We trained a kernel ridge regression (KRR) machine learning model on the saturation vapour pressure (Psat) and on two equilibrium partitioning coefficients: between a water-insoluble organic matter phase and the gas phase (KWIOM/G) and between an infinitely dilute solution with pure water and the gas phase (KW/G). For the input representation of the atomic structure of each organic molecule to the machine, we tested different descriptors. We find that the many-body tensor representation (MBTR) works best for our application, but the topological fingerprint (TopFP) approach is almost as good and computationally cheaper to evaluate. Our best machine learning model (KRR with a Gaussian kernel + MBTR) predicts Psat and KWIOM/G to within 0.3 logarithmic units and KW/G to within 0.4 logarithmic units of the original COSMOtherm calculations. This is equal to or better than the typical accuracy of COSMOtherm predictions compared to experimental data (where available). We then applied our machine learning model to a dataset of 35 383 molecules that we generated based on a carbon-10 backbone functionalized with zero to six carboxyl, carbonyl, or hydroxyl groups to evaluate its performance for polyfunctional compounds with potentially low Psat. The resulting saturation vapour pressure and partitioning coefficient distributions were physico-chemically reasonable, for example, in terms of the average effects of the addition of single functional groups. The volatility predictions for the most highly oxidized compounds were in qualitative agreement with experimentally inferred volatilities of, for example, α-pinene oxidation products with as yet unknown structures but similar elemental compositions.
Comment on "Estimating causal networks in biosphere–atmosphere interaction with the PCMCI approach"

Published: September 2021

Abstract. This is a comment on "Estimating causal networks in biosphere–atmosphere interaction with the PCMCI approach" by Krich et al., Biogeosciences, 17, 1033–1061, 2020, which gives a good introduction to causal discovery, but conﬁnes the scope by investigating the outcome of a single algorithm. In this comment, we argue that the outputs of causal discovery algorithms should not usually be considered as end results but starting points and hypothesis for further study. We illustrate how not only different algorithms, but also different initial states and prior information of possible causal model structures, affect the outcome. We demonstrate how to incorporate expert domain knowledge with causal structure discovery and how to detect and take into account overﬁtting and concept drift.

Abstract. Terrestrial ecosystems play a critical role in the global carbon cycle but have highly uncertain future dynamics. Ecosystem modelling that includes the scaling-up of underlying mechanistic ecological processes has the potential  to improve the accuracy of future projections, while retaining key process-level detail. Over the past two decades,  multiple modelling advances have been made to meet this challenge, including the Ecosystem Demography (ED)  model and its derivatives including ED2 and FATES. Here, we present the global evaluation of the Ecosystem  Demography model (ED v3.0), which likes its predecessors features the formal scaling of physiological processes of  individual-based vegetation dynamics to ecosystem scales, together with integrated submodules of soil  biogeochemistry and soil hydrology, while retaining explicit tracking of vegetation 3-D structure. This new version  builds on previous versions and provides the first global calibration and evaluation, global tracking of the effects of  climate and land-use change on vegetation 3-D structure, new spin-up process and input datasets, as well as  numerous other advances. Model evaluation was performed with respect to a set of important benchmarking  datasets, and model estimates were within observational constraints for multiple key variables including: (i) global  patterns of dominant plant functional types (broadleaf vs evergreen); (ii) spatial distribution, seasonal cycle, and  interannual trends of global Gross Primary Production (GPP); (iii) global interannual variability of Net Biome  Production (NBP); and (iv) global patterns of vertical structure including leaf area and canopy height. With this  global model version, it is now possible to simulate vegetation dynamics from local to global scales and from seconds to centuries, with a consistent mechanistic modelling framework amendable to data from multiple  traditional and new remote sensing sources, including lidar.

Abstract. Stream temperature appears to be increasing globally, but its rate remains poorly constrained due to a paucity of long-term data and difficulty in parsing effects of hydroclimate and landscape variability. Here, we address these issues using the physically-based thermal model T-NET (Temperature-NETwork) coupled with the EROS semi-distributed hydrological model to reconstruct past daily stream temperature and streamflow at the scale of the entire Loire River basin in France (105 km2 with 52278 reaches). Stream temperature increased for almost all reaches in all seasons (mean = +0.38 °C/decade) over the 1963–2019 period. Increases were greatest in spring and summer with a median increase of +0.38 °C (range = +0.11– +0.76 °C) and +0.44 °C (+0.08– +1.02 °C) per decade, respectively. Rates of stream temperature increases were greater than for air temperature across seasons for 50–86 % of reaches. Spring and summer increases were typically the greatest in the southern headwaters (up to +1 °C/decade) and in the largest rivers (Strahler order > 5). Importantly, air temperature and streamflow exerted joint influence on stream temperature trends, where the greatest stream temperature increases were accompanied by similar trends in air temperature (up to +0.71 °C/decade) and the greatest decreases in streamflow (up to −16 %/decade). Indeed, for the majority of reaches, positive stream temperature anomalies exhibited synchrony with positive anomalies in air temperature and negative anomalies in streamflow, highlighting the dual control exerted by these hydroclimatic drivers. Moreover, spring and summer stream temperature, air temperature, and streamflow time series exhibited common change-points occurring in the late 1980s, suggesting a temporal coherence between changes in the hydroclimatic drivers and a rapid stream temperature response. Critically, riparian vegetation shading mitigated stream temperature increases by up to 16 % in smaller streams (i.e., < 30 km from the source). Our results provide strong support for basin-wide increases in stream temperature due to joint effects of rising air temperature and reduced streamflow. We suggest that some of these climate change-induced effects can be mitigated through the restoration and maintenance of riparian forests, and call for continued high-resolution monitoring of stream temperature at large scales.
Acute Hemodynamic Responses to Three Types of Hamstrings Stretching in Senior Athletes

Although stretching is recommended for fitness and health, there is little research on the effects of different stretching routines on hemodynamic responses of senior adults. It is not clear whether stretching can be considered an aerobic exercise stimulus or may be contraindicated for the elderly. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of three stretching techniques; contract/relax proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), passive straight-leg raise (SLR), and static sit-and-reach (SR) on heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) in senior athletes (119 participants: 65.6 ± 7.6 yrs.). Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and HR measurements were taken at baseline (after 5-minutes in a supine position), 45 and 90-seconds, during the stretch, and 2-minutes after stretching. Within each stretching group, (SLR, PNF, and SR) DBP, MAP and HR at pre-test and 2-min post-stretch were lower than at 45-s and 90-s during the stretch. SLR induced smaller increases in DBP and MAP than PNF and SR, whereas PNF elicited lower HR responses than SR. In conclusion, trained senior adult athletes experienced small to moderate magnitude increases of hemodynamic responses with SLR, SR and PNF stretching, which recovered to baseline values within 2-min after stretching. Furthermore, the passive SLR induced smaller increases in BP than PNF and SR, while PNF elicited lower HR responses than SR. These increases in hemodynamic responses (HR and BP) were not of a magnitude to be clinically significant, provide an aerobic exercise stimulus or warrant concerns for most senior athletes.

Pakistan is in front to face pupils' dropout at a fundamental level of schooling. There are several arguments of dropout learners in the beginning stage. The core arguments of the dropout are large classes, poverty, stuffed classrooms, bodily penalty, uneducated family, deficiency of curiosity in learning as pupils, the little excellence of mentor, and harsh actions of instructor with students. The study was conducted in tehsil Vehari. The researcher was selected primary schools of tehsil Vehari. Out of 327 primary school teachers, 200 were selected using a simple random sampling technique; a five-point likert scale used in this research for data collection. The reliability of the questionnaires was measured by the Cronbach Alpha. The resultant calculated value (.899) pointed out the high reliability of the data. Data was collected with reliable and validated questionnaires and analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) to draw conclusions and formulate recommendations. Significant findings of the study were that the majority of the respondents agreed that students drop out due to parental carelessness. A great part of teachers accepted that poverty is the main reason forcing a drop out of school. Many participants agreed that uncaring and professionally less committed teacher is the primary factor of students' dropout. A significant number of the respondents accepted that medium of instruction in the national language.
Operative Therapy of Parkinson's Disease and the Role of Neurologist
Authors: Dwijayanti Ellisa , Hamdan Muhammad
Published: September 2021

Dopaminergic agents are still the mainstay of therapy in Parkinson's disease. Such dopamine replacement therapy results in a reduction in motor symptoms in the early stages of the disease. However, dopaminergic agents will cause motor (motor fluctuations and dyskinesia) and nonmotor (sensory, autonomic, and psychiatric) complications, 50% will occur after 5 years,
The operative approach has been shown to be effective in improving motor symptoms in PD. Deep brain stimulation (DBS), which is the second largest finding after levodopa, is still the first choice of operative treatment for PD, however, other operative therapies such as ablative therapy (radiofrequency, stereotactic radiosurgery, focused ultrasound thermal ablation, laser interstitial thermal therapy) have almost the same effectiveness. with DBS. As primary care physicians, it is very important for neurologists to understand the role in operative therapy that is currently developing.

Bound-Preserving High Order Schemes for Hyperbolic Equations: Survey and Recent Developments
Authors: Shu Chi-Wang
Published: September 2021

Solutions to many hyperbolic equations have convex invariant regions, for example solutions to scalar conservation laws satisfy maximum principle, solutions to compressible Euler equations satisfy positivity-preserving property for density and internal energy, etc. It is however a challenge to design schemes whose solutions also honor such invariant regions. This is especially the case for high order accurate schemes. In this talk we will first survey strategies in the literature to design high order bound-preserving schemes, including the general framework in constructing high order bound-preserving finite volume and discontinuous Galerkin schemes for scalar and systems of hyperbolic equations through a simple scaling limiter and a convex combination argument based on first order bound-preserving building blocks, and various flux limiters to design high order bound-preserving finite difference schemes. We will then discuss a few recent developments, including high order bound-preserving schemes for relativistic hydrodynamics, high order discontinuous Galerkin Lagrangian schemes, high order discontinuous Galerkin methods for radiative transfer equations, high order discontinuous Galerkin methods for MHD, and implicit bound-preserving
schemes. Numerical tests demonstrating the good performance of these schemes will be reported.

Cyber strategies used to combat child sexual abuse material
Authors: Edwards Graeme , Christensen Larissa
Published: September 2021

Cyber strategies play a role in combating child sexual abuse material (CSAM). These strategies aim to detect offenders and prevent them from accessing and producing CSAM, or to identify victims. This paper explores five cyber strategies: peer-to-peer network monitoring, automated multi-modal CSAM detection tools, using web crawlers to identify CSAM sites, pop-up warning messages, and facial recognition. This research synthesis captures the background of each strategy, how it works and the evaluative research, along with the benefits, limitations and implementation considerations, offering a practical overview for a broad audience.
