Documentary method and praxeological sociology of knowledge in the interpretation of pictures
Authors: Bohnsack Rakf
Published: August 2024

Under the name “picture science“ an access to the internal logic of the picture in demarcation from verbal language and text was demanded first from side of the spiritual sciences – in broad accordance among prominent authors from this field. Social sciences and sociology as empirical sciences especially have to face the challenge of implementing these demands methodically and theoretically according to their epistemological standards. Concerning the groundbreaking Iconology developed by Panofsky a stronger consideration of the formal composition of the picture is demanded from side of the history of arts. From a mere sociological perspective the following has to be claimed in addition: the iconological access to the picture with its praxeological perspective on the modus operandi of its production by Panofsky’s category of the habitus had overcome the iconographic perspective, which is bounded to the common sense with its (methodically not justifiable) ascriptions or imputations of intentions and motives to the picture producers. In the further development of the praxeological perspective on the one hand a differentiation of the category of the habitus regarding photography seems to be necessary – by distinguishing between the habitus of the picture producers behind the camera from those in front of it. On the other hand it seems important to transcend the category of the habitus in direction of incongruencies and ambiguities which are constitutive for the frames of orientation of the picture producers and thus the semantic of the picture. This will be demonstrated empirically in this work by the interpretation of advertising pictures on base of the Documentary Method with respect to the category of the pose, which appears as a de-contextualization of relevant gestures.

Industrial Heritage and Pathways for Cultural-Creative Development in Bamberg, Germany
Authors: Oevermann Heike , Wergeland Even Smith , Hanika Susanne
Published: August 2024

This article contributes to the ongoing authorized heritage discourse, following recent heritage concepts such as open heritage, and examines the industrial heritage and pathways for cultural-creative development in the city of Bamberg, Germany. Bamberg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but not on account of its industrial heritage, although some former industrial sites are located within the borders of the current World Heritage Site. We describe three adaptively reused sites that have slightly differing forms of protected status (listed building and ensemble) and show that authorized listing helps to ensure the survival of buildings and material structures over time as documents of an industrial past. However, other industrial sites need the engagement of locals, and refer to what Laurajane Smith describes as heritage as a cultural process. Diverse concepts and cultural-creative developments are evident in the reuse of industrial sites in Bamberg, but these contribute little to urban development strategies. When industrial heritage assets feature in the city’s development strategy, they are seemingly leveraged to drive real estate projects, such as at the former Erba textile site. Additionally, the Otto-Friedrich University (through its Am Zwinger building), and an engaged bottom-up initiative to reuse a former boiler house, enable slightly different development pathways—knowledge-based versus art-based, respectively. The university has a long-term perspective and promising impulses for heritage uses, whereas the Kunstraum (Art House) initiative still struggles to secure support for its medium-term prospects. We argue that the industrial heritage sites need authorized support and agency through engagement, to ensure long-term perspectives for cultural-creative uses.
Indian Crustal Front beneath Tibet Inferred from Seismic Anisotropy
Authors: Zhang Bingfeng , Bao Xuewei , Wu Yingkai , Jiang Mengfan , Zhou Kecheng
Published: August 2024

Postcollisional downgoing of the Indian plate has absorbed large amounts of the Cenozoic India–Asia convergence and is a key process governing the Tibetan Plateau’s evolution and growth; however, to date, whether the Indian slab is currently subducting or underthrusting is still controversial. Here, we present new constraints on the nature of seismic anisotropy within the crust of the eastern Lhasa terrane and the adjacent areas by exploiting the splitting phenomenon of P-to-S converted phases from the Moho. A crustal seismic anisotropy dataset in the main collisional belt of Tibet is then assembled by incorporating the newly obtained and published measurements. Our results highlight the systematic changes in preferred orientation of deep-crust anisotropic minerals along the perpendicular direction of the Himalayan arc, with a sharp northward transition from convergence-parallel to orogen-parallel directions occurring at ∼450 to 500 km north of the Main Frontal thrust. The latter observation provides an estimate of the northern frontier of the Indian lower crust from the perspective of seismic anisotropy and indicates overall and long-distance underthrusting of the Indian plate under Tibet.

Published: August 2024

O objetivo do estudo é investigar se a forma de exposição das informações e o conhecimento influenciam no processo de tomada de decisão, a partir das proposições da teoria dos prospectos. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa é descritiva, realizada por meio de levantamento com aplicação de questionários e análisa quantitativa. A amostra do estudo é composta por 166 acadêmicos do curso de Administração de uma universidade da região Centro-Oeste do Brasil. Utilizou-se da abordagem de situações/problemas para identificar as escolhas dos indivíduos. Os resultados revelam que a maneira como as informações são apresentadas, quando ocorre a indicação de ganhos ou perdas, influenciam nas decisões dos indivíduos. Além disso, o nível de conhecimento dos indivíduos sobre o assunto também influencia e interfere nas decisões. Observou-se que os homens apresentam menor aversão ao risco quando envolve um retorno maior (lucro), enquanto as mulheres possuem tendência inversa, de maior aversão ao risco. O estudo evidencia a importância do reconhecimento sobre os aspectos que influenciam os processos de tomada de decisão, bem como do efeito framing apresentado pela teoria dos prospectos, considerando que as escolhas dos indivíduos podem ser influenciadas por possibilidades de maiores ganhos e aversão a perdas.

Published: August 2024

Este estudo de caso mostra como a agenda ESG (ambiental, social e governança) gera uma vantagem competitiva para a Cooperativa Cooxupé. As práticas implementadas pela cooperativa estão relacionadas aos seus três pilares (ambiental, social e governança), o foco nos ODS, as métricas que as sustentam, e os pontos fortes e áreas de melhoria da cooperativa, que fazem parte dessa narrativa. A partir de uma análise aprofundada das práticas entre 2012 e 2022, foi possível observar que, na área ambiental, há um esforço para utilizar fontes de energia renováveis e coletar e descartar embalagens de pesticidas, reduzindo custos em comparação com fontes não renováveis e apoiando os membros de acordo com os decretos vigentes. Socialmente, a participação da cooperativa em programas de sustentabilidade e certificações, bem como o reforço da agricultura familiar, melhoraram o reconhecimento dos membros da cooperativa em níveis nacional e internacional, promovendo seu desenvolvimento econômico. Em termos de governança, há uma tendência para estruturar melhor seus indicadores de sustentabilidade e os conselhos fiscal e administrativo, adotando posições menos arriscadas e garantindo uma comunicação clara e transparente com seus membros e partes interessadas, instilando confiança em suas operações. Além disso, a criação de um protocolo focado exclusivamente na sustentabilidade facilitou o acesso dos membros às certificações e promoveu uma maior colaboração ao longo da cadeia.

Authors: Vergara Jaime Galvis , De la Espriella Ricardo , Delvalle Ricardo Cortés , Ujueta Guillermo
Published: August 2024

Adicionalmente al conocimiento tradicional de la geología de esta región, se observa que existen dos secuencias sedimentarias diferentes en la cuenca inferior del Catatumbo Colombiano, depositadas en diferentes ambientes, puestas en contacto por una gran falla direccional SW-NE, conocida como Falla Río de Oro o Falla San Lucas. Los sedimentos del bloque Oriental de la falla son parte de la cuenca sedimentaria de Tibú y Cúcuta. Los sedimentos del bloque Occidental presentan afinidad con los del valle del río Cesar, en la zona de La Jagua, y con los de la región de Machiques al noroeste del Estado de Zulia en Venezuela.
Además de lo anterior, hay una gran falla direccional N-S, denominada Falla Catatumbo, la cual parece ser coexistente con la de Río de Oro y otras fallas locales. Las formas de las estructuras que se observan en esta región son típicas de áreas donde domina una tectónica transcurrente.

Los modelos deterministas se usan en diferentes disciplinas. Estos modelos, ya sea en tiempo continuo o discreto, pueden exhibir comportamiento regular o caótico. Un sistema caótico tiene sensibilidad a las condiciones iniciales y, por lo tanto, su estado es impredecible en el futuro distante. Ilustro la impredecibilidad con el modelo de Lorenz y con el circuito de Chua. Uso la ionización de un átomo alcalino unidimensional, en presencia de un campo electromagnético, como un ejemplo de un sistema que presenta cierta clase de predictibilidad, no obstante que su comportamiento es caótico.

Authors: Nascimento Marcia Regina Barbosa , Cabral Félix de Sousa Isabela
Published: August 2024

A escola necessita de experiências educativas que favoreçam a construção de saberes centrados em questões ambientais, como a percepção de pertencimento dos seres humanos à natureza nas dimensões histórica, cultural, biológica e social. Nesse sentido, as feiras de ciências se encaixam como um potencial instrumento pedagógico para a abordagem da educação ambiental (EA), pois oportunizam a troca de saberes entre estudantes, educadores e comunidade. Partindo dessa perspectiva, o presente trabalho enfatiza as contribuições dessas feiras para a promoção da EA em diálogo com o ensino de Ciências. Nele, avaliamos 475 resumos das edições de 2016, 2017 e 2018 da Feira de Ciências, Tecnologia e Inovação do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (Fecti). Os resultados demostraram que, nas três edições, a EA foi contemplada nos projetos dos estudantes e educadores.

Published: August 2024

Subject. Methods of galvanosis diagnostics, their influence on the effectiveness of treatment.
Objectives. To optimize the comprehensive examination of patients with intolerance to metal structures in the oral cavity, to improve the basic and additional methods of diagnosis of galvanosis.
Methodology. The study was conducted at the Department of Orthopedic Dentistry and Gnathology and the Department of Propaedeutics of Orthopedic Dentistry at the Russian University of Medicine. The study involved 15 patients with symptoms of galvanosis, and 15 healthy patients without signs of galvanosis, who constituted the control group. All participants of the study were measured the difference of oral biopotentials, hydrogen index, salivary flow rate. Patients with symptoms of galvanosis were measured again after treatment.
Results. The improved diagnostics contributed to effective treatment of galvanosis. The mean value of oral potential difference decreased by 68.9% after treatment. The mean value of pH-metry also showed positive dynamics, it increased by 18.53% after treatment. The mean salivary flow rates after treatment increased by 139.82%.
Conclusions. In the presence of symptoms of galvanosis requires careful diagnosis and differential diagnosis with diseases of the oral mucosa and general medical pathologies. To improve the accuracy of diagnosis it is necessary to refer to the pH-metry of mixed saliva in the oral cavity, hardware repeated measurement of oral biopotential difference, determination of enzymatic activity of saliva, spectral analysis of saliva, etc. Thanks to accurate and improved diagnostic methods, high efficiency of treatment of patients with intolerance to metal structures in the oral cavity has been achieved. Statistical calculations confirm these conclusions.

Published: August 2024

Subject. Modern dental practice includes the use of a number of functional diagnostic methods in order to identify pathology, make an accurate diagnosis and choose a rational dental treatment. So, in the clinic of orthopedic dentistry, patients undergo daily treatment to restore the integrity of the dentition, and various methods of determining chewing effectiveness are used to assess the effectiveness of the treatment.
Relevance: the aim of the study is to identify and identify the most effective method for digitally evaluating the chewing effectiveness of the dental system in patients.
Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of a literature search and the study of original articles on the digital assessment of chewing efficiency in dentistry in databases: Russian State Library, eLibrary, PLOS.one, PubMed, Scopus, The Cochrane Library. The main selection of materials was carried out by keywords.
Results. The data analysis is given in the table "Comparative analysis of existing digital sieve chewing samples", obtained based on the study of modern existing digital methods for determining chewing efficiency.
Conclusion. To date, among the considered methods for determining chewing effectiveness, the sieve method can be distinguished, since it gives a particularly accurate idea of the functioning of the dental system, and most physiologically reflects the act of chewing and chewing food in the patient. However, digital analogues of sieve methods for determining chewing efficiency are presented in small quantities and require further study.

Authors: Belaykov German , Nurieva Natalya , Tezikov Dmitry
Published: August 2024

Subject. Changes in the mineralization of hard dental tissues, salivation, and level of oral hygiene under the influence of radiation therapy.
Objectives. To establish the relationship between saliva secretion, hygiene level and mineralization of hard dental tissues in patients undergoing radiation therapy.
Methodology. The study was conducted on the basis of the Department of Orthopedic Dentistry and Orthodontics of SUSMU. In accordance with the purpose of the work, a study was conducted in which 80 people participated. The study included the study of the mineralization of the surface of the hard tissues of the teeth, the level of salivation, as well as a comprehensive assessment of the hygienic condition of the oral cavity. The data were recorded three times, on the 1st, 15th, and 30th day after the start of radiation therapy.
During the study, the complex "Inspector M" was used (wavelength – 514 nm.) according to the proposed scheme.
Results.
According to the results of this study, a significant difference in the level of dental mineralization, salivation and dental hygiene was revealed against the background of radiation therapy on the 1st, 15th, 30th day in patients of the main group. No changes were detected in the comparison group.
Mineralization indices decrease from 170.8 ± 1.5 on the 1st day to 154.9 ± 1.7 and 139.1 ± 2 on the 15th and 30th days. Salivation rates decrease from 3.94 ± 0.15 on the 1st day to 3.18 ± 0.14 and 1.95 ± 0.12 on the 15th and 30th days. Hygiene indicators (according to Green–Vermillion / Raman fluorescence) deteriorate significantly from 2.62 ± 0.13 / 35 ± 1.2 on the 1st day to 3.78 ± 0.11 / 4.83 ± 0.14 and 50.1 ± 1.3 / 61.8 ± 1.2 on the 15th and 30th days).
Conclusion
1. During radiation therapy, patients experience a decrease in saliva secretion, a deterioration in oral hygiene and a decrease in the mineralization of hard dental tissues.
2. Irradiation reduces the mineralization of hard dental tissues not directly, but indirectly, by affecting the secretion of saliva and the level of oral hygiene.
ANALYSIS OF THE CORRELATION BETWEEN PAPILLOMAVIRUS INFECTION AND THE EXPRESSION OF TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS IN PATIENTS WITH ORAL EPITHELIAL DYSPLASIA
Authors: Stepanov Mihail , Hisamieva Guzel' , Tarasenko Svetlana , Efremov Gennadiy , Repina Svetlana , Belkin Vladislav , Diachkova Ekaterina
Published: August 2024

Data from domestic and foreign literature indicate a close pathogenetic relationship between the expression of cancer markers p16 and p53, tumor suppressor proteins, and the invasion of human papillomavirus (HPV) in patients with precancerous lesions of the oral mucosa. Thus, it seems advisable to evaluate the frequency of detection of the expression of cancer markers p16 and p53 by immunohistochemical examination in patients with HPV-positive and HPV-negative dysplastic lesions of the oral mucosa.
The aim is to increase the effectiveness of the diagnosis of lesions of the oral mucosa associated with epithelial dysplasia.
Materials and methods. The study involved 50 patients with established diagnoses of leukoplakia and lichen planus with signs of epithelial dysplasia. After surgery, all patients underwent an immunohistochemical study of the expression of proteins p16 and p53 and a PCR study for papillomavirus. The ratio of the frequency of detection of cancer marker expression in subgroups depending on the HPV status was evaluated.
Results. There were no statistically significant differences in the frequency of detection of p53 (p = 0.161) and p16 (p = 0.21) cancer marker expressions depending on the HPV status of patients. There were also statistically insignificant differences in the frequency of detection of the expression of cancer markers p16 (p = 0.333) and p53 (p = 0.178) depending on gender. The HPV-positive status of patients with epithelial dysplasia of the oral mucosa was statistically significantly more often associated with the female sex (p = 0.008).
Conclusion. The assessment of the expression of proteins p16 and p53 is not a reliable method for diagnosing oral epithelial dysplasia and associated papillomavirus infection. There is a need to search for alternative and more accurate molecular markers of the disease, as well as a greater number of observations.
Corruption, droits de propriété et croissance économique en Afrique subsaharienne
Authors: Abdoulaye Dramane
Published: August 2024

L’objectif : L'objectif de cet article est d'analyser la relation entre la corruption, les droits de propriété et la croissance économique dans les pays d’Afrique subsaharienne.
Conception/méthodologie/approche: Le modèle utilisé dans ce travail est inspiré par Aziz et Asadullah (2016) et Walid et Kais (2019), dont la base théorique est la fonction de production Cobb-Douglas, qui comprend deux composantes majeures, à savoir le travail et le capital et d'autres facteurs institutionnels. Ainsi, l'analyse de l'interaction entre les droits de propriété, la corruption et la croissance économique est effectuée à l'aide d'un modèle VAR en panel.
Résultats: Les résultats montrent que la corruption a un effet positif sur la croissance économique alors que la croissance économique n'a aucun effet sur la corruption. Les droits de propriété favorisent la croissance économique tandis que la croissance économique ne contribue pas à protéger les droits de propriété. La corruption a un effet négatif sur les droits de propriété tandis que les droits de propriété n'ont pas d'effet sur la corruption.
Originalité/valeur : L’originalité réside dans l’analyse du rôle ambigu de la corruption en lien avec les droits de la propriété, et la croissance économique à l’échelle de nombreux pays africains.
Dépenses totales de santé versus dépenses publiques de santé et résultats de santé en Afrique de l’Ouest
Authors: Amadou Ousmane
Published: August 2024

Le but de ce travail, est d’établir un lien entre les dépenses totales de santé par habitant, les dépenses publiques de santé et deux résultats pour la santé à savoir la mortalité infantile et la mortalité des moins de cinq ans. Cette relation est examinée à l'aide des données de 15 pays de l’espace CEDEAO[1] plus la Mauritanie entre 1995 et 2014. Des spécifications en panel ; en MCO robuste et à effets fixes ont été utilisés pour le besoin de la robustesse et la prise en compte de la spécificité pays. Les résultats montrent que les dépenses de santé ont un effet statistiquement significatif sur la mortalité infantile et la mortalité des moins de cinq ans. La magnitude de nos estimations d'élasticité est en accord avec celles rapportées dans la plupart des études. Pour les pays de l’Afrique de l’Ouest, nos résultats impliquent que les dépenses totales de santé (ainsi que la composante publique) contribuent certainement de manière importante à la réduction de la mortalité infantile et de la mortalité des enfants de moins de cinq ans. Ces résultats ont des implications importantes pour la réalisation des Objectifs du Développement Durable (ODD).
Effet de l’autonomisation de la femme sur la violence conjugale au Tchad à partir de données EDS-MICS, 2014–2015
Authors: Allara Ngaba Eric , Ndonou Tchoumdop Michèle Esthelle , Tamboura Hamadoum
Published: August 2024

L’objectif: Cet article étudie l’effet de l’autonomisation de la femme sur la violence conjugale au Tchad.
Conception/méthodologie/approche: Le modèle probit binaire est utilisé pour analyser l’effet de  l’autonomisation  dans ses différentes dimensions mais aussi globalement. Les analyses se sont basées sur des données d’enquêtes démographiques de santé et à indicateurs multiples collectées par INSEED en entre 2014-2015.
Résultats: L’analyse montre que l’autonomisation de la femme affecte positivement la violence conjugale au Tchad. Une femme exprimant son désaccord face à la violence, participant au processus de prise de décision au sein du ménage, ayant l’autonomie économique et  l’indépendance sociale, a 4,01% et 10,4% de chances supplémentaires de subir de violence conjugale respectivement pour un niveau d’autonomie moyen et élevé par rapport à un niveau d’autonomie faible. Il faudrait donc renforcer la sensibilisation pour que le processus d’autonomisation des femmes profite à la société Tchadienne.
Originalité/valeur : L’autonomisation joue un rôle substantiel dans l’accomplissement des femmes mais très peu d’études ont concerné le Tchad. Ce faisant, L’étude contribue de manière significative à la littérature à travers cette première tentative empirique de compréhension de l’effet de l’autonomisation de la femme sur la violence conjugale au Tchad en tenant compte de diverses dimensions de l’autonomisation. Elle décompose la violence conjugale en plusieurs formes et adope l’approche des quartiles en regroupant les facteurs par dimension afin  d’établir le niveau d’autonomisation de la femme avant leurs liaisons avec les différentes formes de la violence conjugale.
The System of Government of Vatican City and the Internal Structure of the Holy See in the Context of the Issue of the International Legal Capacity of the Papacy
Authors: Marzanov Akhmed Yu. ,   Postgraduate Student of the Department of International Law of the Law Faculty of the Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: August 2024

This article deals with the internal structure of the Holy See and the Vatican City State as the basis of their independent international legal status. It analyses the legal basis of the authority of the Pope as Head of the Catholic Church and Sovereign of Vatican City, the institutional system of the Roman Curia and the legislative, executive and judicial authorities of Vatican City, and the basis of the legal system of the Holy See and Vatican City. It is concluded that the institutional systems and domestic legal systems of the Holy See and Vatican City are different for each entity, which may be a prerequisite for the separate international legal personality of the Holy See and Vatican City.
The System of Civil Procedural Acts and Areas of Improvement of the Russian Procedural Legislation
Authors: Mikhaylova Ekaterina V. ,   Acting Head of the Department of Procedural Law of the Institute of State
Published: August 2024

The article deals with the problem of defining the concept, properties and types of civil procedural acts. The author proposes to understand procedural acts as resolutions of the court and other state authorities related to the consideration and resolution of a civil case, notarized documents and documents of a private law nature (statements of claim, responses to statements of claim, petitions, complaints). The legal significance of civil procedural acts lies in the fact that they are the grounds for the onset of civil procedural consequences. The procedural status of the prosecutor’s opinion in a civil case should be regulated separately and considered as a procedural act of a public law nature, and not as evidence in the case. It is also advisable to establish a special procedural regime for notarized documents in the civil process, and establish a procedural presumption of their legality.

Objective. The study assessed the incidence of high blood pressure (BP) cases in 10–17-year-old children and adolescents of Magadan through the 10-year period. Design and methods. The author compared the results of the 2009 and 2019 health monitoring surveys which involved 2533 10–17-year-old school children of the city of Magadan. All participants were of Caucasian race, natives of Magadan, without a history of chronic diseases. The data of the assessment of anthropometric and cardiovascular parameters in 2009 and 2019 were compared. Results. The author observed a significant increase in systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) in both gender groups with the growth of anthropometric indices from 2009 to 2019: boys at ages 12–13 and 17 (SBP) and at 11–17 years old (DBP); girls at ages 11–13 and 15 (SBP), as well as at 11–13 and 16 years old (DBP). Analysis of the rates of high-normal BP (≥ 90th and < 95th percentile), the author found that girls demonstrated high-normal BP in 2009 and 2019 in 6,6 % and 8,6 % of cases, respectively, while boys showed high-normal BP in 10,2 % and 7,3 % of cases in 2009 and 2019, respectively. The incidence of high BP (≥ 95th percentile) was 5,1 % and 7,3 % in girls; 8,0 % and 9,9 % of cases in boys in the studied years. Conclusions. The study shows a significant increase in basic anthropometric indicators as well as SBP and DBP variables for both age specific groups. The incidence of high BP (≥ 95th percentile) was 5,1 % and 7,3 % in girls, and 8,0 % and 9,9 % in boys, respectively. Overall hypertension trends were registered in children and adolescents with BP rates increasing within ten-year period.

Objective. The aim of the study is to examine treatment patterns, hospitalizations, work disability and describe demographic and clinical characteristics of newly diagnosed patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) before and after diagnosis verification in real clinical practice in Russia. Design and methods. Longitudinal prospective observational study with a retrospective part was conducted. Adult patients were included after PAH verification based on right heart catheterization. The data was received via patients interviewing and medical documentation analysis at enrollment and every 3 months. The retrospective design was used to collect information before enrollment. Results. Thirty-three patients with newly diagnosed PAH were enrolled in the study. Most patients had II (45,5 %) or III (36,4 %) WHO functional class. During follow-up period 2 patients died because of PAH complications, 1 patient died due to COVID-19 complications, and 1 patient was lost for follow-up. Before PAH verification 12,1 % of all patients did not work due to PAH symptoms while after verification of the diagnosis this proportion doubled. Diuretics and mineralocorticoid-receptor antagonists were the most frequently used drugs before PAH diagnosis confirmation, 9 % of patients took sildenafil. Most patients (64 %) received monotherapy as initial PAH-specific treatment, in 34 % of all patients treatment was escalated within 12 months after PAH verification. The number of hospitalizations significantly decreased after PAH verification and specific therapy prescription (р < 0,05). Conclusions. This study demonstrated a decrease in the number of hospitalizations after PAH verification, which may confirm the effectiveness of various regimens of PAH-specific therapy in real clinical practice in Russia. In addition, the study identified a number of problems associated with PAH (predominance of initial monotherapy, low vaccination coverage, problems with drug provision, etc.) The solution of these problems may improve the outcomes.

Background. Ischemic stroke is the leading cause of mortality and loss of working ability. Sleep disorders and sleep-wake rhythm disorders are considered to be a potential modifiable risk factor of acute stroke. Objective. To determine the peculiarities of circadian rhythms in acute stroke by assessing the daily variation of urinary excretion of cortisol and 6-sulfatoxymelatonin. Materials and methods. We examined 27 patients with acute ischemic stroke and 9 patients admitted to the hospital with suspected but not confirmed stroke. All examinations in both groups were performed in similar settings. All patients underwent neurological assessment in acute phase and before discharge including evaluation by National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, modified Rankin scale (mRs), Barthel index and Rivermead index. Within 48–72 hours after admission, urine samples were collected at 7 a. m., 3 p. m. and 11 p. m. for cortisol and 6-sulfatoxymelatonin assessment (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analysis). Results. Daily urinary cortisol excretion did not differ in stroke and control subjects. However, stroke patients demonstrated the highest values in the evening while control subjects had higher levels in the morning. The rhythm of urinary 6-sulfatoxymelatonin excretion is preserved in both groups with the highest level in the morning. However, stroke patients show lower levels at all time points (by 45 %, 33 % and 72 % in the morning, afternoon and evening, respectively). There were no changes in either cortisol or 6-sulfatoxymelatonin excretion depending on stroke severity. Afternoon excretion of 6-sulfatoxymelatonin correlates with Barthel index at discharge (ρ = 0,63; p = 0,004), mRs score at discharge (ρ = –0,65; p = 0,003) and Rivermead index at admission (ρ = 0,52; p = 0,024) and at discharge (ρ = 0,49; p = 0,032). Conclusion. Patients with acute mild-moderate stroke show abnormal daily rhythm of urinary cortisol excretion with the maximum in the evening. The daily rhythm of 6-sulfatoxymelatonin excretion is preserved with the maximum excretion at night, but stroke patients have lower levels compared to control subjects.

Background: The developmental competency of in vitro matured oocytes to the blastocyst stage is a big concern in laboratory conditions. This study aims in finding the best combination of growth factors for enhancement of cleavage as well as early embryonic developmental rates in cattle. Methods: Fresh cattle ovaries were obtained from the nearest slaughterhouse in 0.15 M freshly prepared saline (35-38°C) supplemented with penicillin (400 IU/ml). A total of 924 COCs were aspirated from ovaries and transferred to maturation media for incubation (5% CO2) at 38.5°C with maximum humidity for 24 h. After maturation, the matured oocytes were co-incubated with the capacitated sperms for in vitro fertilization in the FBO medium for 16 h. After fertilization, the cumulus cells were removed from the presumptive zygotes and incubated in the mCR2aa medium for 45-48 h. The cleavage rates of the zygotes were observed and further cultured in the blastocyst medium for 7-10 days. After every 24 h, 80% of culture media was replaced with fresh media. Three different combinations of growth factors (PDGF+IGF, EGF+FGF and T3+T4) used in this study. Result: Supplementation of growth factors in culture media increased cleavage rate and blastocyst rate significantly (p less than 0.05). PDGF+IGF @ 10 ng/ml+75 ng/ml, EGF+FGF @ 20 ng/ml+10 ng/ml and T3+T4 @ 100 ng/ml+100 ng/ml showed the best results in terms of cleavage rates and blastocyst development.

It offers data-driven insights that support qualitative evaluations, facilitating decision-making and advancing knowledge of the academic environment as a whole. With this back ground work we selected legume research journal as on interest and performed bibliometric analysis. Methods: Bibliometric analysis of legume research is a systematic method of evaluating scholarly publications and their impact within a specific field of study from 2008 to 2023 (15 years). The analysis was done by using Bibliometrix tool using R Studio and R software. The study was conducted during July-November, 2023 at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, India. Result: Legume research journal have an h-index of 18, g index of 26 and h index of 1.3 based on local source impact. The analysis revealed that it has 2076 documents with growth rate of 7.37. Higher annual production was in 2022 with 236 articles and Tamil Nadu Agricultural University highly contributing institute. But according to author impact h index was for Kumar R with 9 with 11 publications in the year 2022 with citation score of 1.5. The most frequent word used in ‘key word plus’ was Cicer arietinum (52 times) appeared in 10% of the documents and changes in the trend topics from bacteria in 2008 to Lens culinaris in 2023. Dhakal Y (58) has the highest global cited documents. Cicer arietinum, Vigna mungo and Pisum sativum were the basic themes. Gomez KA and Jakson ML was had highest co citation. India is most cited country with 3,783 citations and highest in production with 6,414 articles. Bangladesh to Malaysia (Frequency @12) have strongest collaboration between them. The bibliometric analysis concludes that there is an increasing interest in the study of legumes, which is consistent with the knowledge of the value of legumes for nutrition and sustainable agriculture. To further our understanding in these important areas, future research should investigate the influence of climate change on legume production, use multidisciplinary approaches, and solve identified gaps.
EDUCAÇÃO EM SAÚDE COMO FERRAMENTA DE INDUÇÃO DA POLÍTICA PÚBLICA NA SAÚDE PRISIONAL

Published: August 2024

O Brasil tem atualmente uma das maiores populações carcerárias do mundo. No ano de 2016, o país tinha mais de 726 mil pessoas privadas de liberdade, e já era o terceiro país no ranking de população prisional, atrás somente dos Estados Unidos e da China. Essa superpopulação carcerária e as condições pelas quais essa população é exposta, cria um ambiente de vulnerabilidade muito favorável a um conjunto de doenças, que são mais prevalentes no sistema prisional, não somente no Brasil, mas em outros países também. A saúde prisional tem se tornado uma emergência de saúde pública por apresentar índices cada vez maiores de doenças, principalmente as infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (IST), pois poderiam ser evitadas. E este problema afeta não somente os países considerados de renda baixa e média, mas também os países desenvolvidos. Uma forma de intervir estrategicamente em umas das partes deste complexo problema, que é de ordem multifatorial, é qualificar a força de trabalho para atuar na saúde prisional. Portanto, este artigo discute e apresenta alguns resultados de intervenções de saúde pública, as quais foram articuladas e implementadas por meio de estratégias de educação massiva em saúde cuja mediação tecnológica atuou como ferramenta desta intervenção.
