Published: April 2023

Effects of water in the space is the subject of study in many scientific fields. The research question is that whether the water features are included in the studies carried out the intersection of affect and architecture. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the literature regarding the concepts of affect-architecture-water and to determine the concepts in current research areas and the primary authors. The scope of this study consists of documents in Scopus database. The keywords “Affect, Affective, Architecture, Water” were selected for the systematically analysed scan made in Scopus database. Scanning was done by creating three different combinations with the selected keywords. First combination is “Affect” and “Architecture; Second combination is “Affective” and “Architecture”; Third combination is “Affect”, “Architecture” and “Water”. After collecting the bibliometric data of a total of 1557 documents according to three different combinations from the database on November 21, 2022, the downloaded data files were transferred to the VOSviewer (1.6.18.0) software. Bibliometric analysis with science mapping techniques was applied to the dataset by the VOSviewer. Firstly, Scopus analysis search results were examined. Secondly, Visuals were created by science mapping techniques. As a result, nine concepts and 26 authors were determined. The concepts for the gaps are “Architecture, Affect, Atmosphere, Perception, Space, Sensory Experience, Architectural Design, Built Environment, Emotion”. The authors are “Deleuze, Guattari, Davidson, Anderson, Barrett, Damasio, Kraftl, Lyubomirsky, Manzo, Massumi, P. L. Russell, Wigley, Scherer, J. A.

Authors: Aabid M. , Semghouli S , Choukri A.
Published: April 2023

A pelvimetry examination is sometimes prescribed to a pregnant woman at the end of her pregnancy in order to assess the dimensions of her pelvis prior to childbirth. This examination has long been performed by using X-ray, but is now increasingly being replaced by CT-scan The objective of this study is to assess the radiation doses received during a practical CT pelvimetry examination performed using a Hitashi Supria 16-slice CT scanner. The radiation doses were estimated using Monte Carlo (MC)-based simulation with GATE code to model the 16-slice CT scanner machine. The GATE code operates using GEANT4 libraries. A polyymethyl metacrylate (PMMA) acrylic phantom of 32 cm diameter was modeled to represent the patient's body. X-ray energy spectrum generated using the SRS-78 spectrum processor was used for simulation. The simulation was executed with the same exposure parameters as the practical CT pelvimetry examination with dose parameters of 1 mGy, 0.9 mGy, and 36.6 mGy.cm, respectively, for the weighted CT dose index (CTDIw), the volume CT dose index (CTDIvol), and dose-length product (DLP). The MC simulation results provide dose parameters of 1.16 mGy, 1.07 mGy, and 43.6 mGy.cm, respectively, for the CTDIw, CTDIvol, and DLP. The differences between the simulation and the practical examination were 16 %, 18 %, and 18 %, respectively. These differences are considered in a quite good agreement. The results were also consistent with other similar studies. This work proves that the Monte Carlo simulation with the GATE code is usable to assess the patient doses during a CT pelvimetry examination.

Authors: ŞENOYMAK Mustafa Can , ENGİN İsmail , ERBATUR Nuriye Hale , CANBEK Sezin , DENİZ Ferhat , YÖNEM Arif
Published: April 2023

Sex reversal syndromes can be summarized as an incompatibility of chromosomal sex and gonadal characteristics. A very rare syndrome. 46 XX testicular disorder was first described by De La Chapelle in 1964 in 46 XX karyotype male individuals. Generally, patients whose phenotype is male apply to the health center with infertility, impotence, loss of libido, or gynecomastia. Translating the part of the Y chromosome, including the SRY (sex-determining region Y) gene, to the X chromosome during paternal meiosis is responsible for etiopathogenesis.

In our case, a 38-year-old male patient applied to our outpatient clinic complaining of enlargement in both breasts. His beard-mustache and body hair distribution was expected, he had bilateral grade 2 gynecomastia, his penis length was 7 cm, and his testicles were small and palpable in the scrotum. Laboratory values were compatible with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and in the sperm analysis, azoospermia was detected. Karyotype analysis was 46 XX, SRY was also studied with the FISH (Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization) technique. The patient was diagnosed with 46 XX Testicular Disorder (de la Chapelle Syndrome), and testosterone replacement therapy was started.

We aimed to present the diagnosis and management of De La Chapelle Syndrome in our case.

Pain in patients with multiple sclerosis
Authors: Kasap Zerrin , Uğurlu Hatice
Published: April 2023

Objectives: This study aims to identify the factors associated with pain and neuropathic pain (NP) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and to determine the relationship between pain and NP with disability, functionality, activities of daily living, fatigue, mood, and quality of life (QoL).

Patients and methods: Between July 2017 and October 2017, a total of 100 adult patients with MS (18 males, 82 females; mean age: 35.3±9.9 years; range, 19 to 71 years) were included. All patients were evaluated in terms of pain and NP. Patients with and without pain, and patients with and without NP were compared in terms of sociodemographic characteristics, disease data, disability, functionality, daily living activities, fatigue severity, mood, and QoL using various scales.

Results: A total of 62% of the patients had pain. Pain was found to be associated with low education level (p=0.014), increased fatigue (p<0.001), depressive mood (p<0.001) and lower QoL (p<0.001). A total of 29.03% of patients with pain had NP. Patients with NP had a greater pain intensity (p<0.001) and fatigue (p=0.002) and lower QoL (p=0.011). The number of patients who received the correct treatment for their symptoms was low.

Conclusion: Pain and NP should be better investigated and treated by physicians, as these symptoms are common in MS and adversely affect the QoL and social relations of affected patients and reduce their productivity.

Published: April 2023

Objectives: This study was planned to test the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 3.0 cerebral palsy (CP) module (parent form) in children with CP.

Patients and methods: In the validation study conducted between June 2007 and June 2009, 511 children (299 normal children, 212 children with CP) were assessed by the seven scales of PedsQL [daily activities (DA), school activities (SA), movement and balance (MB), pain and hurt (PH), fatigue (F), eating activities (EA), and speech and communication (SC)]. Reliability was tested by internal consistency and person separation index (PSI); internal construct validity by Rasch analysis and external construct validity by correlation with the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and Functional Independence Measure for Children (WeeFIM).

Results: Only 13 children with CP completed the inventory by themselves and thus were excluded. Consequently, 199 children with CP (113 males, 86 females; mean age: 7.3±4.2 years; range, 2 to 18 years) and 299 normal children (169 males, 130 females; mean age: 9.4±4.0 years; range, 2 to 17 years) were included in the final analysis. Reliabilities of the seven scales of the PedsQL 3.0 CP module were adequate, with Cronbach’s alphas between 0.66 and 0.96 and the PSI between 0.672 and 0.943 for the CP group. In Rasch analysis, for each scale, items showing disordered thresholds were rescored; then testlets were created to overcome local dependency. Internal construct validity of the unidimensional seven scales was good with the mean item fit of -0.107±1.149, 0.119±0.818, 0.232±1.069, -0.442±0.672, 0.221±0.554, -0.091±0.606, and -0.333±1.476 for DA, SA, MB, PH, F, EA, and SC, respectively. There was no differential item functioning. External construct validity of the instrument was confirmed by expected moderate to high correlations with WeeFIM and GMFCS (Spearman’s r=0.35-0.89).

Conclusion: Turkish version of the PedsQL 3.0 CP module is reliable, valid, and available for use in clinical setting to evaluate health-related quality of life of children with CP.

Tipos de ensino: qual tipo de abordagem didática o influência como aluno ou como educador?
Authors: Santos José Ribeiro dos
Published: April 2023

A didática é a parte da pedagogia que trata as atividades educativas de acordo com o que é estabelecido pelas diretrizes. Uma prática ainda comum nas escolas é a utilização dos paradigmas conservadores como método de ensino. No entanto, numa sociedade em constante mudança e na qual o desenvolvimento tecnológico tem atingido até as camadas mais subordinadas, torna-se questionável o emprego de metodologias que exijam do aluno mera passividade e não lhe permitam o desenvolvimento da autonomia, já que o professor não é mais o único detentor do conhecimento ao qual se tem acesso. O professor passa a ser um facilitador do aprendizado do aluno. Ensinar é despertar no aluno aquele interesse pra buscar sempre mais informações a respeito do que está sendo explanado.

A symbology proposition for large-scale topographic mapping applied to the municipality of the city of Maputo
Authors: Comé Sérgio , Sluter Claúdia Robbi , Moiane André Fenias
Published: April 2023

This article deals with a proposition of symbology for large-scale topographic mapping. Emphasis was given to the case of the Municipal City of Maputo and public and private institutions that operate in urban mapping. Of the five available topographic maps, visual analysis was carried out, based on legibility and visibility criteria previously proposed by other authors. For each class of features, the graphic primitives used in each card were identified and, in the evaluated sequence, the possibility of maintaining the graphic primitive or modifying its representation in the proposed symbology. In many cases, semantic and geometric generalization was necessary to fit the symbology. The research showed that the library of symbols proposed in table form can be applied in the topographic mapping of urban areas, provided that the precepts of cartographic language and theories of graphic semiology are observed in order not to compromise the process of cartographic communication. A proposition of symbology for large-scale topographic mapping requires the cartographer to comply with the rules and specification criteria for maintaining logical consistency between topographic maps of subsequent scales, such as maps of 1:25.000 and smaller that follow the norms established by CENACARTA.

Authors: Kawauchi Marcia Yuri , Dainesi Eduardo Alvares
Published: April 2023

Orthodontics often comes across mouth-breathing patients whose cause of upper airway obstruction consists of hypertrophy of the pharyngeal or adenoid tonsils and/or palatine tonsils. The effects of mouth breathing on craniofacial growth are characterized by maxillary atresia with the deep palate and the expression of preponderant growth in the vertical direction, and anterior open bite and mandibular retrusion may occur. After the referral and the evaluation/performance of the otorhinolaryngologist, the procedure of rapid expansion of the maxilla is indicated, in addition to the other procedures according to the orthopedic/orthodontic problem presented. Often, the performance of the speech therapist becomes necessary and important for the maintenance of the results obtained with the treatment performed by orthodontics. However, despite conducts already readily established in the daily life of orthodontic professionals, this chapter deals with a health condition that may be associated with the mouth-breathing child, which is Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) and that many professionals are still unfamiliar with. Disease screening allows for a more efficient and complete approach to the patient's problem by all professionals involved.

Published: April 2023

INTRODUCTION: Depression is a mental illness that can be explained by both genetic and organic factors and affects not only adults but also children and adolescents. Due to the severity of this disease and its impact on the social and professional life of the individual, it is necessary to have more accurate diagnoses at the beginning. METHODOLOGY: The present study is an exploratory integrative literature review. A total of 76 articles were surveyed, of which 56 were excluded and 20 were included. The articles were identified using the Bireme, Ebsco, Google Scholar, Pubmed, and Scielo databases. RESULTS: The 20 articles included discuss the severity of depression and the association with other mental illnesses, such as ADHD, borderline, bipolar, and addictions. DISCUSSION: Through literary reviews and articles produced between 2012 and 2022, it was possible to analyze that depression is a psychiatric illness associated with other diseases and often confused with ADHD in childhood. In addition, the role of the family in the treatment of the disease was analyzed, as well as its relationship with addictions and phobias. CONCLUSION: It was demonstrated that childhood depressive disorder, anxiety, and phobias, when perceived early, are likely to predict the improvement of mental status in adulthood.

The tick Rhipicephalus linnaei (Audouin, 1826), popularly known as the brown dog tick, is of medical and veterinary importance because it transmits several pathogens that cause diseases which are relevant to public health and, consequently, significant economic losses. Previous studies have shown that acaricides that use synthetic active ingredients leave harmful residues in the environment and cause problems for non-target organisms, which include hosts in general. For these reasons, new strategies and control methods, such as biological approaches, vaccines, and bioactive compounds from plants, have been studied. In the present study, the action of essential oils extracted from Egletes viscosa and Lippia schaueriana, both native to Brazil, were evaluated. Despite having proven effectiveness as acaricides (against this species of ticks), studies on the effects they have on hosts (here simulated by female Mus musculus) had not yet been performed. The unprecedented results found here showed that, in treatment group T1 (female mice exposed to L. schaueriana oil), there were morphological changes in the thyroid that indicated that these glands would also have the functions of synthesis/transformation of the colloid into thyroid hormones physiologically compromised. There were changes in the morphology of follicular cells (from cuboidal to squamous) and cytoplasmic vacuolation. The colloid inside the follicles did not always appear homogeneous, and in many of them, a fine granulation was noticed, suggesting changes in the pre-hormone. In treatment group 2 (females exposed to E. viscosa oil), the follicular cells in the vast majority of follicles also lost their cuboidal shape and became squamous, and their nuclei changed from rounded to flattened and pyknotic. The rounded morphology of the follicles became irregular, causing disorganization of the follicular cells, and the interstitial spaces left between the follicles were filled by connective tissue. Therefore, these results make it clear that the exposure of female mice (simulating tick hosts) to essential oils of E. viscosa and L. schaueriana at a concentration of 50mg/mL caused morphophysiological changes in the thyroid gland of these subjects, which lead to the loss of organ function, and called attention to the importance of the careful use of acaricides even if they are naturally sourced.

Cultural significance is widely discussed when addressing the issue of heritage preservation. It refers to the set of values and meanings that one or more elements have for people and communities, exposing their potential importance over time, in addition to expressing how and why something is significant and deserves attention. This article aims to present, through a significance assessment, issues related to the rescue of the cultural significance and the credible heritage interest of the Quadras Econômicas Lúcio Costa (QELC), a project by architect and urban planner Lucio Costa located in the Federal District. In a brief description, the QELC was inaugurated on July 29, 1987, and is made up of four blocks with a lozenge urban design, three-story apartment blocks with stilts, trees, and local businesses. This urban proposal was initially designed for the city of Alagados, in Salvador, in 1972. However, it was not built on the site and the project, dubbed "urban pre-molded", was used for the context of expansion in Brasília. Structurally, the article is divided into four parts. In the first, initial and related concepts on the cultural significance and its consequences will be addressed. In the second, there will be a brief presentation of the housing context of the Pilot Plan of Brasilia and the emergence of the idea of economic blocks. The third brings the characterization and current situation of the QELC. In the end, based on the technical and social visions, a basis of criteria will be established to help understand the values of the place and establish references for a future declaration of significance, a strong argument for safeguarding the property. It is hoped that this assessment will bring new perspectives to the QELC project so that the competent bodies can recognize and preserve their values. It is believed that this work can contribute to the reflections on the conservation of modern heritage in Brasilia and the importance of this preservation also outside its tipping perimeter.

An Analysis Report on the Implementation of Medical Service Price Adjustment in a Public Hospital in 2020
Authors: Li Shaofeng
Published: April 2023

In order to learn how the general reform of public hospitals compensates for the loss of medical consumables markups by medical service price adjustment, and to provide reference for the next step of medical service price adjustment, this paper used the difference analysis method to make a statistical calculation of the medical service price adjustment of a county-level general hospital for one year. Due to the price adjustment, the revenue of the public hospital was reduced by RMB 63,600 yuan, and the revenue of the cancellation of the medical consumables addition was reduced by RMB 3,234,900 yuan. The medical service price adjustment did not play a role in compensating the cancellation of the medical consumables addition. This paper analyzed the existing problems and causes, and put forward improvement measures and suggestions for the next step of medical service price adjustment.

A cornucopia of research has been conducted on the use of metadiscourse across disciplines and languages. Still, this present study is the first to identify and analyse how metadiscourse markers (MDMs) help realize the functions of moves and steps in the Methods sections of research articles (RAs) across disciplines and Englishes. The present study is an investigation of the distribution of MDMs in the formulation of moves and steps in the Methods section of social science, business, and linguistics RAs written by American English (the inner circle), Philippine English (outer circle), and Chinese English (expanding circle) RA writers. Utilizing a qualitative-quantitative mixed methodology, it shows that engagement markers are the most frequently used interactional markers, that culture and discipline are two variables that account for the variations in MDMs use, that soft disciplines like humanities and social sciences seem to demand more writer accountability to assertions made, and that both the outer and the expanding circles of Englishes sometimes behave like the inner circle English with pronounced similarities and differences in the utilization of MDMs. Instructional implications were suggested based on the findings of the present study.
Memorandum of Agreement on Research Production: How Binding Is It?
Authors: Marilu Rañosa-Madrunio  , Antonio M. Chua
Published: April 2023

Higher education institutions consider research as one of their trifocal functions. With the change in the educational landscape, Philippine universities have found a way to address this demand. One move is to create research centers that help develop a research culture among the faculty. Those interested in research apply for research units to reduce their teaching load. It is then expected that faculty researchers can balance their time between teaching and research. To hold them accountable for their deliverables by the end of the academic year, they get into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) which they and the research center directors sign before the beginning of the academic year. This paper examines the legal value of the contract signed by the researchers and the directors of four research centers in one comprehensive university in Manila, as well as the provisions observed and not observed in the contract. Findings revealed that the contract signed is valid since it contains the following requisites: a.) cause, b.) object, and c.) consent. These requisites are found in the three moves identified. With regard to the linguistic features, only two out of the nine were found, based on the framework of Crandall and Charrow (1990). These were: a.) overly complex sentences and b.) negation. Violations of some provisions were found to be committed by faculty researchers, and while sanctions are stipulated in the agreement for non-compliance, not all are being implemented. Gaps were likewise noted in the preparation of the MOA. It is recommended that the provisions in the contract be reviewed and checked against the provisions and guidelines in research revised by the Office for Research. A review of the research management strategies of the university is likewise recommended. Finally, as a contract, the MOA may still be further improved by addressing the gaps in the content so that effectiveness can be attained to avoid future litigation.
