Published: December 2022

A torção testicular é caracterizada pela interrupção do suprimento sanguíneo proveniente da rotação do cordão espermático e possui como etiologias o trauma local, atividades físicas que aumentem o reflexo cremastérico, congestão vascular nos indivíduos com epididimite, inflamação testicular. Seu pico de incidência é na infância e adolescência. A interrupção do fluxo sanguíneo justifica a urgência do diagnóstico e tratamento, já que sua demora pode levar a necrose e perda do mesmo. Dessa forma, pacientes com uma evolução de 4 a 8 horas apresentam melhor prognóstico que aqueles com uma evolução de 12 horas ou mais, sendo esses os que apresentam maiores indicações de orquidectomia. Além disso, após a distorção ou retirada do testículo acometido, o testículo contralateral é avaliado e a orquidopexia poderá ser indicada, com a finalidade de diminuir a probabilidade de uma futura torção desse testículo. Este estudo teve como objetivo a descrição de um relato de caso sobre torção testicular direito com 3 dias de evolução e, qual diagnóstico, tratamento cirúrgico escolhido. Para o relato de caso foram utilizados dados da equipe medica que assistiu o paciente, dados do prontuário do paciente e exame de imagem diagnósticos. Paciente A. S. F., masculino, 13 anos, com história de febre, êmese e dor testicular direita abrupta, espontânea, evoluiu com edema e hiperemia há 3 dias, com leve alivio ao uso de analgesia oral. Ao exame físico paciente encontrava-se com hemibolsaescrotal direita dolorosa a palpação, edemaciada, eritematosa, endurecida, com ausência do reflexo cremastérico e sinal de Prehn positivo. Ultrassonografia + Doppler de bolsa escrotal apresentou testículo direito com dimensões aumentadas e ecotextura heterogênea, mais hipoecogênico em relação ao contralateral, sem fluxo ao Doppler. Testículo direito medindo 3,0 x 3,8 x 2,4 cm e apresentando volume de 14,4 cm3 . Foi realizado exploração cirúrgica escrotal com identificação de torção testicular a direita em processo de isquemia. Realizou-se orquiectomia direita, orquidopexia esquerda e ligadura do cordão esquemático esquerdo com Vicril 1,0. Paciente pós-cirurgico afebril, sem queixas álgicas, diurese positiva, sem sinais flogísticos e indicado alta hospitalar. Tendo em vista o paradigma do caso, a procura médica precoce, precisão diagnóstica e a intervenção no momento adequado fazem diferença no prognóstico do paciente. Isto faz ser fundamental, antes de qualquer outro aspecto, a educação do médico não especialista e mesmo dos jovens e famílias quanto à necessidade de procurar socorro rapidamente em caso de dor escrotal aguda.

Authors:   Faculty of Architecture, Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University, Bolu, Turkey, Tuncok Sariberberoglu Mine
Published: December 2022

This article tries to set an example and explore the potential and limitations of the online learning environment for the first-year Basic Design Studio course based on abstract architectural design thinking. The course is constructed on a connected yet independent series of practices on basic design principles starting from the point to the void space. The course was divided into parts to achieve continuity in design thinking, and instructions and critics were given via distant online theoretic implications. The final course focused on improving students' design skills on a small-scale project. Within each practice, students could experience the abstract way of thinking of design to achieve complex parameters of design problems. Overall evaluation for each study depended on the necessities of the work and participation of the students. The paper sets an example of an online architectural studio format and discusses the advantages and shortcomings of online courses for first-year architectural education.

Turkish Steel Exporters’ Association (İMMİB) Industrial Design Competition is important both for professionals and students among Turkish designer community for many reasons. In addition to its nationwide recognition, the winners are awarded with many monetary and non-monetary benefits. Particularly the international scholarship for graduate education is a major motivating factor for students for participating to the competition. The main objective of this study is to reveal school related factors that affect İMMİB Industrial Design Competition student category results. For this reason, data on 2015-2020 İMMİB Industrial Design Competition winners have been analysed. The analysis has been carried out by doing document analysis from secondary sources and applying an on-line survey to the winners. A total of 92 prizes have been distributed between 2015-2020 to 84 students. Out of 84 students, 42 participated to the survey and 40 valid responses were obtained. Results reveal that i) the older the department, the higher the frequency of winners coming from that particular university, ii) for students coming from universities adopting the central examination system, the majority of students have relatively high entrance exam scores, iii) the majority of the projects are done during course hours at school, particularly in the case of privately owned universities. This paper discusses the reasons and the outcomes of working competition projects during course hours particularly design studio courses. Ethics and privacy are revealed as potential problem areas as an outcome of carrying out the competition preparation during course hours.
Developing a Design Framework to Methodize the Architecture Thesis Projects with Emphasis on Programming and Conceptualization Processes
Authors:   Department of Architecture, School of Architecture and Built Environment, College of Science and Technology, the University of Rwanda, Kigali, Rwanda, Tafahomi Rahman
Published: December 2022

The research develops a design framework as an applied tool to structure the necessary stages throughout architectural design programs, in particular thesis projects. The architecture thesis students apply programming and conceptualization in several different ways, and a significant proportion of them prefers to use precedents instead. Architecture thesis projects tend to focus mainly on the studies, methods, and analysis, however, the relationship between the programming-conceptualization and the rest of the thesis project seems to have attracted less attention. To cover this gap, a design framework was developed to link the architecture findings to the design objective and strategies. The research employed qualitative methods, including structured observation, and content and graphical analysis. The data were also derived from thesis students’ drawings offered in the final exam. The findings revealed the potential capacity of the design framework to connect the analytical outputs with the architectural design decisions through a specific concentration on the processes of programming and conceptualization. In conclusion, the design framework could enable architecture thesis students to create a range of alternatives with regard to programming and concepts, whereas these options are still well-connected to design decisions. This will undoubtedly help students and lecturers with the creation of a systematic process of inputs, activities, outputs, and possible impacts.

Critérios de classificação vs. critérios diagnósticos: um complexo quebra-cabeças para o reumatologista
Authors: Pinheiro Marcelo de Medeiros
Published: December 2022

Médicos não reumatologistas acreditam, equivocadamente, que nós, especialistas em doenças reumáticas, só conseguimos fazer o diagnóstico quando o paciente preenche critérios de classificação (CC) propostos pelas sociedades internacionais, especialmente o ACR (American College of Rheumatology) e a EULAR (European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology). No entanto, é importante ressaltar que, de modo geral, não existem critérios de diagnóstico (CD) na reumatologia e o diagnóstico firmado pelo reumatologista é resultante de um raciocínio clínico apoiado em uma combinação de achados para determinado paciente, incluindo a interpretação das queixas, exame físico e aplicação de recursos propedêuticos apreendidos na semiologia, bem como avaliação da probabilidade pré-teste, resultados de exames laboratoriais e por imagem, ponderação sobre os diagnósticos diferenciais e, em algumas situações, dados histopatológicos. Com isso, estabelece-se o diagnóstico final, independentemente dos CC, e a mais adequada tomada de decisão precisa e deve ser feita.

Authors: Franco Andre Silva , Lyrio André Marun , Domiciano Diogo Souza
Published: December 2022

A osteoporose é uma doença óssea prevalente e associada a elevado risco de morbimortalidade. FRAX é uma calculadora de risco absoluto que permite estimar o risco de fratura osteoporótica nos próximos 10 anos utilizando variáveis clínicas e a densitometria óssea. Além disso, é importante para a decisão terapêutica e estratificação do risco de fratura. As fraturas vertebrais são frequentes em osteoporose e a maioria dos pacientes são assintomáticos, de forma que a busca ativa radiológica de fratura vertebral deve ser considerada na avaliação. O método semiquantitativo de avaliação radiológica de fratura vertebral é recomendado na prática clínica. Nesta revisão detalhamos as principais ferramentas de avaliação clínica em osteoporose no que se refere ao uso do FRAX, estratificação do risco de fratura e avaliação da fratura vertebral.

Authors:   Independent researcher, Andijan State Medical Institute, E.A. Vasilevsky
Published: December 2022

Chronic venous diseases (CVD), including varicose veins, are among the most common diseases in developed countries in Europe and the United States and affect one third to one half of the population, especially women. Among many achievements in the knowledge of the pathogenesis of achievements, it should be noted the identification of the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) as important mediators of the degenerative process associated with the onset and progression of venous insufficiency. The study included 98 patients aged 20 to 78 years with chronic venous insufficiency, including, in accordance with the CEAP classification, 45 patients with moderate CVI (class C3–C4) and 53 patients with severe CVI (class C5–C6). The results obtained in the course of the study reliably indicate the presence of an association between the carriage of the Arg allele and the Gln/Arg and Arg/Arg genotypes of the Gln279Arg polymorphism in the MMP9 gene with the risk of developing complicated forms of CVI.

Aim. The goal of this essay is to look into the factors that affect moms to start and continue exclusive breastfeeding. Background. Breastfeeding is the most successful and cost-efficient survival strategy, with the potential to cut child mortality in underdeveloped nations by up to 13% [2], [3]. Breastfeeding should begin within one hour of delivery, be exclusive from birth to six months of age, and continue until the child is two years old or older. [4] Materials and Methods. A qualitative design is used in this investigation. The experiences of breastfeeding informants will be collected, summarized, and reported in detail. narratively. In January 2020, a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was held with mothers of infants aged 5-6 months. The purpose of this study is to investigate exclusive breastfeeding knowledge, practice, and decision making. Result. The majority of moms have received information about exclusive breastfeeding, however there are still some mothers who have not. Mothers who have heard about exclusive breastfeeding nevertheless have varied ideas about how long they should breastfeed. Certainly, the mother is unaware of the length of exclusive nursing. Conclusions. Breastfeeding is a major global public health issue. This review demonstrates that information of exclusive breastfeeding, awareness of breastfeeding methods, and social support (family, husband, and health workers) are all elements that can influence exclusive breastfeeding success. Starting and keeping breastfeeding is still a difficulty for moms today, therefore understanding exclusive breastfeeding, breastfeeding legislation, and social support can all help with nursing success.

The main symptom of low back pain is pain. Pain does not meet the definition of impairment or abnormality, but if the individual actively aggravates pain and avoids or reduces his/her activities, pain may lead to disability. Nonspecific low back pain appears to be caused primarily by disrupted function or painful musculoskeletal dysfunctions. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides the most comprehensive definition: A disability is defined as any restriction or lack (due to impairments) of ability to perform an activity in the manner or range considered normal for a human being (WHO 1980). Back pain disability involves both physical dysfunctions and illness behavior. Motor and physiological activity are always involved in behavior, and physiological processes always have behavioral manifestations. Using survey-based analysis, we attempted to discover the causes and associated problems of low back pain in this study.

This Community Service Program aims to support the accessibility of technology-based tourist attractions in the era of globalization. This is based on the conventional method used by the object of service in serving tourists who will go to Bokori Island. Conventional means relying solely on information from person to person about their business. This is certainly ineffective, especially entering Society 5.0. era, where the focus is not only on the technological component but also on the human. Therefore, the service team offers a solution in the form of making a digital-based ship rental application (website) and assistance in its use in the form of training. This website is useful not only to advertise community businesses but also Bokori island tourism. The website will be managed by an admin who is a representative of the Bajoe village community. The features contained in this application are Bokori Island Tourism info, crossing points, checking ship availability, boat rental, and ticket printing. The presence of this application is certainly very useful for tourists, especially those from outside Kendari, they can order tickets in advance of the time they want to visit Bokori island. The community service program was positively welcomed by the local community, especially the crossing business owners because they felt helped by the application made by the service team.

Hoogsteen Base Pairings
Authors: Datta Neelabh
Published: December 2022

In contrast to Watson-Crick (WC) base pairing, Hoogsteen (HG) base pairing involves flipping a purine base 180° between its anti and syn conformation. Recent studies have shown that HG pairs coexist in dynamical equilibrium, and several biological functions depend on them. This significance has stirred computational research on this base-pairing transition. However, a methodical reproduction of sequence variations has continued to be out of reach. It is becoming increasingly clear that Hoogsteen base pairs play a crucial role in DNA replication, recognition, damage repair, and incorrect sequence repair. The Protein Data Bank contains a variety of Hoogsteen base pairing modes that include the preference for A–T versus G–C bps, TA versus GG steps, and a preference for 5'-purines at terminal ends. RNA A-form duplexes are strongly disfavored by Hoogsteen base pairs, in stark contrast to B-form DNA. Therefore, N1-methyl adenosine and N1-methyl guanosine, which transpire in DNA as alkylation impairment and in RNA as posttranscriptional adjustments, have great differences in effects. They create G–C+ and A–U Hoogsteen base pairs in duplex DNA that preserve the structural integrity of the double helix, but obstruct base pairing altogether and induce local duplex melting in RNA, providing a mechanism for potently disrupting RNA structure through posttranscriptional modifications. In duplex DNA, they maintain the structural integrity of the double helix by creating G–C+ and A–U Hoogsteen base pairs, but block base pairing altogether and cause local duplex melting in RNA, thus providing a potent means for disrupting RNA structure post transcriptionally. As a result of the markedly different inclinations for B-DNA and A-RNA to form Hoogsteen base pairs, they may be able to balance the opposing demands of maintaining genome stability and dynamically modulating the epitranscriptome. This review examines the occurrence of Hoogsteen base pairs in DNA and RNA duplexes.

Published: December 2022

The work aimed to elucidate the relationship between the rate of ageing, determined by the criterion of biological age (BA), and the life expectancy of coronary heart disease (IHD) patients.
We analyzed 220 case histories of IHD patients aged 40–80 years. The cause of death in patients was IHD. During the observation period, patients were determined anthropometric parameters, BP, ECG, complete blood count, ESR, fasting blood glucose, lipid metabolism, urea, creatinine and prothrombin index.
The calculated BA formula was obtained on a group of 110 healthy people aged 40 to 80 years. Using stepwise multiple regression, the most informative indicators were selected and an equation was obtained linking the age of people with these indicators (r=0.671; p<0.0001). Using this formula, the BA of IHD patients and the rate of ageing of each person were calculated as the difference between their BA and chronological age. The data obtained analysis made it possible to establish a significant relationship between the rate of ageing and life expectancy in patients with IHD (r=-0.368; p<0.0001).

Keywords: biological age; life expectancy IHD.

COVID-19 has represented a turning point for hospitality industry with enormous effects leading to a potential transformation. This study aims to identify the effects of this period on the pandemic evaluation and future considerations of hospitality students to suggest actions for decision-makers in hospitality education to motivate students into sustainable careers in the sector. The findings of the quantitative research report that students’ evaluations of the pandemic are explained by future anxiety and openness. Students with prior work experience have more negative evaluations of the pandemic. The findings of the qualitative research point out that students evaluate the pandemic period with a realistic and optimistic perspective and enhance their capabilities to adapt to changes, transform or shift to a relevant sector.

O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o acesso, a participação e a aprendizagem sob a percepção de estudantes com deficiência física e visual nas aulas de EF. Com caráter qualitativo descritivo, o estudo utilizou-se como instrumento um questionário virtual e contou com a participação de 45 estudantes e egressos, entre 15 e 25 anos. Os resultados mostraram que as barreiras referentes ao acesso, participação e aprendizagem ainda persistem nas aulas de EF, pois encontramos a falta suporte, recursos humanos e materiais adequados a necessidades dos estudantes com deficiência. Além disso, estes mesmos estudantes se depararam com propostas de atividades segregadas e conteúdos que se baseiam em modalidades tradicionais voltadas somente ao público sem deficiência. Portanto, concluímos que estas barreiras impossibilitam o acesso, a participação e aprendizagem do estudante com deficiência e que, embora haja o esporte paralímpico como alternativa de eliminar parte destas barreiras, o mesmo carece de maiores ações.
Beowulf—A Poem
Authors: Scheil Andrew
Published: December 2022

Why should anyone, aside from specialist historians and philologists, read Beowulf? This book presents a passionate literary argument for Beowulf as a searching and subtle exploration of the human presence. Seamus Heaney praised Beowulf as “a work of the greatest imaginative vitality“: how is that true? The poem's current scholarly obsessions and its popular reception have obscured the fact that this untitled and anonymous 3182-line poem from Anglo-Saxon England is a powerful and enduring work of world literature. Beowulf is an early medieval exercise in humanism: it dramatizes, in varied and complex ways, the conflict between human autonomy and the “mind-forg'd manacles” of the world. The poem is as relevant and moving to any reader today as it was during the early Middle Ages. This book serves both as an invitation and introduction to the poem as well as an intervention in its current scholarly context.
Byzantine Rome
Authors: Labatt Annie Montgomery
Published: December 2022

Why does medieval Rome look so, for lack of a better word, Byzantine? Why do its monuments speak an aesthetic of the medieval East? And just how do we quantify that Byzantine aesthetic or even the word “Byzantine”?

This book seeks to consider the ways in which the artistic styles and iconographies generally associated with the eastern medieval tradition had a life in the West and, in many cases, were just as western as they were eastern. Rome’s medieval monuments are a fundamental part of the history of the East, a history that says more about a cross-cultural exchange and interconnected “Romes” than difference and separation.

Each chapter follows the political and theological relationships between the East and the West chronologically, exploring the socio-political exchanges as they manifest in the visual language of the monuments that defined the medieval landscape of Rome.

Published: December 2022

Covid-19 döneminde tüm dünyada yüz yüze öğretimden acil uzaktan eğitime geçilmiştir. Bu nedenle, eğitimin her düzeyindeki paydaşlar zorunlu olarak birçoğunun daha önce hiç deneyimlemediği ve hazır olmadığı bir sürece girmişlerdir. Bu süreçte yaşanan deneyimlerle oluşan algıları belirlemeye yönelik araştırmalarda, acil uzaktan eğitim sürecine yönelik paydaş algılarının genelde olumsuz yönde olduğu rapor edilmiştir. Pandeminin etkilerinin azalmasıyla birlikte yeni normal sürece geçilmiş ve üniversitelerde, her bölümde, belirlenen oranlarda özellikle temel zorunlu derslerde uzaktan eğitime devam edilirken diğer derslerde yüz yüze eğitime başlanmıştır. Dolayısıyla bu yeni düzenlemede paydaşların deneyimleri farklılaşmıştır. Bu paydaşlardan biri de öğretmen adaylarıdır. Bu nedenle bu araştırmada, ortak zorunlu ders olarak “Bilişim Teknolojileri” dersini uzaktan eğitim yoluyla alan öğretmen adaylarının bu süreçteki uzaktan eğitime ilişkin metaforik algılarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Öğretmen adaylarının uzaktan eğitime yönelik algılarını ortaya koymak için nitel araştırma yöntemleri arasında yer alan olgubilim (fenomenoloji), araştırma yöntemi olarak belirlenmiştir. Çalışmanın verileri öğretmen adaylarının uzaktan eğitime ilişkin ürettikleri metaforlar ile elde edilmiştir. Bu amaçla veriler Google Form aracılığıyla çevrimiçi olarak oluşturulan bir anket yardımıyla toplanmıştır. Farklı bölümlerde öğrenim gören 221 öğretmen adayından elde edilen verilerden metafor yapısına uygun olmayan 57 veri çıkartıldıktan sonra 98’i kadın, 66’sı erkek olmak üzere toplam 164 öğretmen adayının görüşleri dikkate alınarak bulgular oluşturulmuştur. Verilerin analiz sürecinde temel olarak içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılarak metaforlara yönelik tema ve kategoriler oluşturulmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda, katılımcıların uzaktan eğitime yönelik algılarının olumsuz yönde olduğu, kadın katılımcıların erkek katılımcılara oranla daha fazla olumsuz algıya sahip oldukları ve sözel içerikli bölümlerdeki öğretmen adaylarının algılarının uygulamalı içerikli bölümlerdeki adaylara göre daha olumlu olduğu belirlenmiştir.

"The accelerating destructive effects of pollution threaten the existence of all inhabitants of planet earth. Health promotion interventions inevitably include a dynamic harmony of various interacting planetary components and contexts, bio-psycho-social as well as spiritual, cultural and ecological. This study was based on a broad research question as to what would best heal polluted planet earth. As with most countries, South Africa is slowly recovering from the effects of COVID-19. It seemed timeous to investigate a local sample of knowledgeable and experienced persons with regard to their views on pollution prevention and health promotion. Sixteen local KwaZulu-Natal persons responded to an online google questionnaire. There were 5 men and 11 women, with a mean age of 55 and age range from 25 to 73 years. Data analysis using NVivo12 software indicated that participants’ responses generally coalesced into a coherent health promotion theme including subthemes of awareness, education, regulation, and action to prevent human destructiveness, promote healing and the holistic integrity of nature. Unique local findings as well as those similar to other studies are discussed. Further research could include formal scales with larger local and international samples in interconnected, ecological and health promotion initiatives."

Published: December 2022

Interreligious ecotheological praxis is urgent and most needed as a real form of dialogue between science and religions to overcome the increasingly severe current ecological crisis. This paper focuses on interreligious ecotheological praxis to maintain the integrity of creation and environmental sustainability. The aim is to explain the meaning of interreligious ecotheological praxis and its urgency in protecting the Earth and the vulnerable. To achieve this goal, this study qualitatively examines the grassroots practice of caring for the Earth and the vulnerable by Muslims, Catholics, and Sedulur Sikep in Pati and Rembang Regencies, Central Java, Indonesia. The results provide a new reference on interreligious ecotheological praxis for the Earth care movement, especially from the perspective of Islam, Catholicism, and Sedulur Sikep. This work suggests everyone move together in facing and overcoming the ecological crisis that befell the Earth and defending as well as protecting the vulnerable people most affected by environmental destruction.

Influence of ozone and humidity on PTR-MS and GC-MS VOC measurements with and without Na2S2O3 ozone scrubber
Authors: Ernle Lisa , Ringsdorf Monika Akima , Williams Jonathan
Published: December 2022

Abstract. The measurement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be influenced by ozone (O3), resulting in sampling artifacts that corrupt the data obtained. Published literature reports both, positive (false enhancements of signal) and negative (loss of signal) artifacts in VOC data due to ozonolysis occurring in the sample gas. To assure good data quality it is essential to be aware of such artifact inducing processes, characterize them and try to minimize the impact with a suitable sampling setup. Here we present results from experiments with a sodium thiosulfate ozone scrubber (Na2S2O3), which is a cost effective and easily applied option for O3 scavenging during gas phase sampling. Simultaneous measurement of selected organic trace gases using gas chromatography- and proton transfer reaction-mass spectrometry was performed at different ozone levels (0–1 ppm) and different relative humidities (0–80 %). In this way both tropospheric and stratospheric conditions were examined. The measured data show that several carbonyl compounds including acetaldehyde, acetone and propanal show artificial signal enhancement when ozone is present at higher concentrations (>150 ppb) in dry air, while analytes with double bonds like isoprene (measured with GC-MS) and terpenes show lower signals due to reaction with ozone. Both effects can be eliminated or in the case of sesquiterpenes substantially reduced by using Na2S2O3 impregnated quartz filters in the inlet line. With the chosen scrubbing material, relative humidity (RH) substantially improves the scrubbing efficiency. Under surface conditions between 50–80 % RH, the filter allows accurate measurement of all species examined.
