Published: July 2023

Stroke is a serious health problem faced by almost all over the world. The occurrence of ischemic stroke could affect the gray matter volume (GMV) in the human brain. In Magnetic Resonance imaging of an ischemic stroke with a FLAIR sequence, a white lesion known as the white matter hyperintensity (WMH) is often found. We studied correlation between gray matter volume (GMV) and white matter hyperintensity (WMH) in ischemic stroke patients using fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences. The MRI data were taken randomly from ten ischemic stroke patients (mean age 46.9 years) and ten normal patients (mean age 36.8 years). FLAIR axial image parameters, i.e. TE (time echo), TR (time repetition), and TI (time inversion) were analyzed. The results reveal that the TE and TR values in FLAIR images of normal and ischemic stroke patients are classified as long TE (more than 70 ms), long TR  (more than 1500 ms) and long TI (more than 1700 ms). The mean GMV of ischemic stroke patients (1.371 cm3) is smaller than the GMV of normal patients (2.267 cm3). This is related to the presence of white matter hyperintensity (WMH) in ischemic stroke patients

Published: July 2023

No ambiente organizacional, cada vez mais dinâmico e competitivo, em razão das forças da
globalização, a visão das organizações está voltada para o mercado e para a necessidade de
estabelecer diferenciais estratégicos diante da concorrência. Nesta atual conjuntura, a Gestão de
Pessoas tem sido um fator fundamental para o sucesso das organizações, e a atuação da liderança é
peça chave neste processo. O presente artigo se constitui de uma revisão bibliográfica com o objetivo
geral de destacar as características da Gestão de Pessoas no contexto atual. Logo, os objetivos
específicos visam apresentar os conceitos da Gestão de Pessoas na contemporaneidade; retratar a
evolução das abordagens da liderança; e identificar o papel do líder organizacional no contexto da
Indústria 4.0. Os resultados mostram que a nova era da Gestão de Pessoas está relacionada com a
valorização das pessoas dentro das organizações, por entender que são elas as grandes
responsáveis pelos resultados organizacionais. Os resultados também apontam para uma clara
evolução das abordagens da liderança, que inicialmente, era focada nas tarefas; posteriormente
passou a focar nas pessoas; e hoje entende as pessoas como principal ativo das organizações.
Constatou-se ainda que, no contexto da Indústria 4.0, os líderes mais eficazes são aqueles que, além
de serem orientados para pessoas, desenvolvem a inteligência emocional e se comportam como
verdadeiros agentes de mudança.
Arquitetura Humanizada: Repensando o Acolhimento para Crianças e Adolescentes
Authors: Borges Taynnara Gonçalves de Oliveira
Published: July 2023

As instituições de acolhimento no Brasil têm sido tradicionalmente vistas como locais de reclusão e exclusão social. Atualmente, esses abrigos têm o papel de atender órfãos, crianças carentes e aquelas que foram afastadas de suas famílias por motivos diversos, como maus tratos, violência sexual, problemas financeiros e questões psicológicas. Em Palmas, essa realidade não é diferente, e a necessidade de abrigos que atendam aos padrões mínimos estabelecidos pelo Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA) é evidente.
Este livro apresenta uma breve análise da situação do acolhimento na cidade de Palmas, considerando os parâmetros básicos não apenas do ECA, mas também das normativas do Conselho Nacional dos Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente (CONANDA) e do Ministério Nacional do Desenvolvimento Social e Combate à Fome. O objetivo é propor um edifício de acolhimento que, além de oferecer um atendimento personalizado, disponha de opções de lazer para os abrigados. Essa abordagem visa promover a integração social e o desenvolvimento físico, social e psicológico das crianças e adolescentes acolhidos.
O projeto tem como meta criar um ambiente que priorize o bem-estar das crianças, oferecendo espaços acolhedores e seguros. A inclusão de opções de lazer proporcionará momentos de recreação e interação social, fundamentais para o desenvolvimento saudável dos abrigados. Acredita-se que essa abordagem humanizada pode contribuir para tornar a experiência de acolhimento mais positiva e impactante, promovendo o crescimento e a resiliência das crianças e adolescentes que se encontram em situação de vulnerabilidade.

Objective: The study evaluated the hyperglycaemia-lowering effects, safety, and phytochemical profile of Celtis zenkeri leaf extract in order to justify its antidiabetic folkloric usage. Methods: Modified OECD test guidelines were used to assess its acute and sub-acute toxicity while its effect on blood parameters such as blood glucose, and haematological and biochemical levels were evaluated using appropriate assays. Both in vitro and in vivo antihyperglycaemic assays were used for the antidiabetic studies while histology of the pancreas, liver, and kidney of the rats was examined after treatment with the extract at 250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg for 21 days. GC-MS analysis was used to determine the chemical constituents of the extract. Results: The results obtained showed that the leaf extract of C. zenkeri was not toxic in rats at 5000 mg/kg. It elicited a significant decrease in the blood glucose levels of the animals but did not affect the haematological and biochemical components of normal rats. It significantly inhibited α-amylase and α-glucosidase actions and gave comparable activity to glibenclamide (5 mg/kg) at all time points at 200 and 400 mg/kg. The extract comparably reduced blood glucose levels with glibenclamide at 100 and 200 mg/kg on days 10 and 14 in drug-induced diabetic rats and maintained the histoarchitecture of the liver, kidney, and pancreas at 250 and 500 mg/kg. Conclusion: The study justified the ethnomedicinal use of C. zenkeri in diabetes management.

Review of the Efficiency of Ten Different Commercial Kits for Extracting DNA from Soil Mixed Biological Samples
Authors: Neha Mundotiya , Mukesh Choudhary , Saurabh Jaiswal , Umema Ahmad
Published: July 2023

Soil-mixed bodily fluids are the most common kind of evidence at outdoor crime scenes. This biological evidence contains DNA, which is a key component of forensic science’s ability to prove an accused person’s guilt because it connects the victim and suspect to the crime scene and aids in identifying the offender and victim. The yield of DNA is significantly influenced by factors including temperature, humidity, storage environment, time since deposition, etc. DNA degradation is caused by a variety of microbes, bacteria, humic acid, and other substances present in soil. Nowadays for DNA extraction, a variety of commercial DNA extraction kits was used now. This paper’s objective is to compare the efficiency of ten different commercial kits used to extract mixed DNA samples. It has been observed that samples stored at a low temperature (-20 °C) are the best for soil blood mixture samples. Compared to samples paired with other types of soil (silt, clay, and marshland), sand soil had the largest production of DNA using the QIAmp investigator kit (Qiagen). Blood Miniprep kit extractions were mostly inhibited, the control that amplified confirms that this kit was the worst in terms of DNA extraction potency. The samples with fewer dirt particles had a much greater yield of DNA.

The availability of timber products and the increase in demand for construction and export have made it a thriving business in Nigeria. . Chronic respiratory symptoms are common among sawmill workers because of their exposure to occupational-related sawdust hazards. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, self-reported respiratory symptoms, and protective measure in place by the sawmill workers. This was a cross-sectional study and it was carried out at Timber market, Nkwo-Nnewi, Anambra state, Nigeria with a sample size of 157. Structured interviewer-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Data were analyzed with the statistical package for social sciences. The result of the study showed that nearly all the respondents were male (97.5%) and the majority were between 30-49 years of age. 45.9% of the respondents had worked at the sawmill for 10 years and above. The majority of the respondents were aware that the sawmill dust can affect their respiratory health 119(75.8%).Some of the respiratory problem reported include: Cough 97(61.8%), Cold 81(51.6%), Chest tightness 18(11.5%), Wheeze 17(10.5%), Shortness of breath 12(7.6%). The study indicated that majority of the respondents do not make use of personal protective device 100(63.7%) whilst only 57(36.3%) make use of personal protective equipment. Some of the common reasons cited for not using PPE were that it was not comfortable 44(43%) and that the PPE was not available 34(34%). A great percentage of the sawmill workers had poor knowledge of respiratory protective measures (37.0%). The sawmill workers had a high prevalence of respiratory symptoms probably because poor safety practices were evident. It is therefore essential to improve the level of knowledge among sawmill workers about occupational hazards and safety practices in order to mitigate its negative consequences. These can be achieved via periodic health awareness campaigns, and health policies by the government with the aim to enforce the sawmill workers to observe proper protective measures while working.

Inflammation is a local response of living tissues in mammals towards injury and is normally linked to the pathogenesis of several diseases. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of the methanol extract and the n-hexane, ethyl acetate and butanol fractions of the Jack fruit leaves. Methanolic cold maceration was carried out to get the extract, followed by liquid-liquid fractionation. Two models, viz. xylene-induced ear edema in mice and egg albumin-induced paw edema in rats were used to evaluate them. The anti-inflammatory activity of the extract and fractions was screened for anti-inflammatory activity using xylene-induced ear edema in mice and egg albumin-induced paw edema in rats. The chemical constituents of the extract and fractions were detected by dereplication using HPLC-DAD. Results showed that for the xylene-induced topical edema model, only the 250µg/ear n-butanol fraction exhibited good anti-inflammatory activity at 21.21% when compared with the piroxicam (positive control) at 32.21%. In the egg albumin-induced paw edema both the methanol extract and n-butanol fraction at 250mg/kg and 500mg/kg showed good anti-inflammatory activity after 2hours post-administration, with maximum effect at 6 hours. Specifically, at 6 hours the methanol extract at 250 mg/kg exhibited 41.21% inhibition; the butanol fraction at the same dose exhibited 43.63% inhibition when compared with piroxicam (500 mg/kg) with 38.39% inhibition. The HPLC-DAD analysis of the extract and fractions revealed the presence of six (6) compounds: catechin (1), septicine (2), 5-isoprunetin 8C glucoside (3), naamine (4), protocatechuic acid (5), and vitexin (6). These compounds have been reported to display anti-inflammatory activity. These findings suggest that the leaf extract possess an anti-inflammatory phytocompounds which authenticates their ethno-medicinal usage claim by local people in different parts of Nigeria.

Staffs are valued for help from the agency and achievement or failure of the relief agency in the overall staff performance. Therefore, companies fund large amounts of education and training programs for employees. In addition, in education software is a great support for companies to highlight the knowledge, understanding and potential of employees. There is a great dialogue between specialists and researchers about the impact of enhancement software on every employee and agency. The overview defined here is a careful review of the literature on essential worker enhancement software and its benefits for companies and employees.
Survey and comparative analysis of machine learning algorithms for breast cancer diagnosis: A comprehensive review
Authors: Maurice Martin Obare
Published: July 2023

Breast cancer is a significant health concern worldwide, and early and accurate diagnosis plays a crucial role in improving patient outcomes. Machine learning algorithms have emerged as powerful tools for analyzing complex medical data and aiding in the diagnosis of breast cancer. This paper provides an overview of the application of machine learning algorithms in breast cancer diagnosis. The findings indicate that machine learning algorithms, such as support vector machines (SVM), random forests, artificial neural networks (ANN), and deep learning models, have been extensively explored for breast cancer diagnosis. These algorithms leverage the vast amounts of available data, including patient demographics, medical history, imaging data (mammography, ultrasound, MRI), and genetic profiles, to identify patterns and make predictions. One of the primary applications of machine learning algorithms in breast cancer diagnosis is the classification of tumors as malignant or benign. By training on labeled datasets, these algorithms can learn to differentiate between cancerous and non-cancerous cases, thus assisting in accurate tumor diagnosis. Additionally, machine learning algorithms can be used to predict the likelihood of cancer recurrence, which helps guide treatment decisions and post-treatment monitoring. Feature selection and extraction techniques also play a vital role in breast cancer diagnosis using machine learning algorithms. These techniques aim to identify the most relevant features or biomarkers associated with breast cancer, reducing the dimensionality of the data and enhancing the performance of the models. Feature selection algorithms, such as recursive feature elimination and correlation-based feature selection, contribute to the identification of critical indicators for accurate diagnosis. Furthermore, the integration of different data sources and modalities, such as combining clinical data with imaging data or genetic data, has shown promise in improving breast cancer diagnosis accuracy. By fusing multiple types of information, machine learning algorithms can leverage the complementary nature of these data sources to enhance diagnostic capabilities. Despite the advancements made, challenges remain in the field of breast cancer diagnosis using machine learning algorithms. Issues such as data quality, interpretability of models, and generalizability to diverse populations need to be addressed to ensure the reliable and equitable application of these algorithms in clinical practice.

Objective: The physical, systemic and stomatological characteristics of patients with Down Syndrome (DS) were verified, for a better integration with the dentist and other health professionals. Methodology: A search was carried out in the main databases and articles that were read in full and according to the objective, published as original research, case reports and literature review articles, 56 were included. Individuals with DS have unmistakable characteristics such as short stature and low-set ears, in addition to systemic impairments. On the stomatognathic system, they have injuries mainly in relation to malocclusion, dental caries and periodontics. Discussion: The search for an oral health professional is late and the quality of life is negatively affected by changes that are often already aggravated. Dental surgeons should be more prepared to manage the care of these patients, and public policies focused on prevention should be addressed and are suggested. Conclusion: According to the literature found, the physical and systemic characteristics of patients with Down Syndrome are easily identifiable by the dentist through a clinical look and anamnesis. In addition, oral health is more affected by dental caries, periodontal disease and malocclusion and professionals should be better trained to provide care with a focus on prevention.
