Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is defined as a psychomotor developmental disorder that is characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity and/or impulsivity. Currently, it is observed that discrete signs of psychological distress tend to be classified as pathological, initiating the early use of psychotropic drugs. In this sense, given that the increase in medicalization becomes alarming in adults, the scenario becomes even more serious in the children’s situation, in view of the child’s motor and neuropsychic immaturity. The present study aims to analyze and discuss the increase in the diagnosis of ADHD in the last decade and the consequent hypermedicalization of children. The methodology used was a literature review of a quantitative nature, through searches in PubMed, Scielo and Google Scholar, with publication date from 2010. Regarding the results, it was observed: increase in overdiagnosis and overmedicalization in around 25% of the evaluated studies; approximately 40% of the articles highlighted the importance of carrying out training projects for health professionals to make more accurate diagnoses and more effective treatments; around 25% of the articles concluded that methylphenidate, from the amphetamine group, has benefits and that it increases quality of life, even though it has side effects. Finally, it is concluded that it is necessary to analyze and propose training strategies for health professionals, in addition to implementing a more efficient multidisciplinary work together with family educators, in order to assess the real need for the diagnosis, performing it in a more efficient way. efficient and avoid unnecessary medicalization of children and adolescents who do not fit the ideal diagnostic criteria for ADHD.

Introduction : Les traumatismes oculaires représentent des pathologies très fréquentes en ophtalmologie. Le caractère variable de leur circonstance de survenu souvent inconnu et la diversité des lésions résultantes de ces traumatismes peut rendre leur prise en charge délicate. Seul un interrogatoire détaillé et un examen ophtalmologique minutieux peuvent garantir un bon pronostic. Le but de cette étude était de faire une analyse étiologique et topographique de lésions oculaires traumatiques au CHU de Kati. Méthodologie : Il s’est agi d’un étude rétrospective transversale sur 5 ans au service d’ophtalmologie du CHU-BSS de Kati. Résultats : Le taux d’incidence des traumatismes oculaires était 4%. La tranche d’âge la plus touchée était celle de 21-40 ans avec fréquence de 43,3%, une moyenne d’âge de 26,18 et des extrêmes de 1 et 73 ans. Les hommes étaient majoritaires avec 64,2%. Les accidents de la voie publique ont été les circonstances les plus rencontrées avec 20,6%. L’irritation conjonctivale (près de 50%) et l’érosion cornéenne (22,3%) ont été les lésions les plus rencontrées. Discussion : La prédominance des accidents de la voie publique comme circonstances de survenu nécessite un renforcement de la sécurité routière. L’agent causal le plus retrouvé a été l’agent végétal avec 22%. Conclusion : La variabilité des lésions oculaires traumatiques ainsi que la diversité de leurs circonstances de survenu imposent un bon examen clinique avec un interrogatoire objectif afin d’apporter la riposte appropriée à chaque type de traumatisme pour préserver les victimes des séquelles potentiellement cécitantes.

Escala de nomofobia: propiedades psicométricas y asociación con sexo, bienestar eudaimónico y ajuste escolar en adolescentes venezolanos
Authors: Rodríguez Chávez Luis , Fernández Siliano María Graciela
Published: August 2024

La nomofobia (miedo a no tener el celular) es un fenómeno psicológico actual derivado del uso del teléfono móvil. Por esto, el objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar las propiedades psicométricas del NMP-Q (No Movil Phobia Questionnarie), así como determinar su asociación con el sexo, el bienestar eudaimónico y el ajuste escolar. Para ello se encuestó intencionalmente a 803 adolescentes venezolanos, donde el 54% eran mujeres y cuya edad promedio fue de 14 años. A través del Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio se obtuvo evidencia de adecuado ajuste en el modelo de medida con cuatro dimensiones (CFI > .95 y RMSEA < .05), invarianza factorial según sexo (ΔCFI y ΔRMSEA <.01) y fiabilidad apropiada en el cuestionario (α y Ω > .75). Respecto a las asociaciones, las mujeres mostraron mayor nivel de nomofobia que los hombres (d > .30), además se encontró que las dimensiones del bienestar: control de situaciones y aceptación, así como el desajuste escolar se relacionaron de manera baja y negativa con algunas dimensiones de la nomofobia (r entre .10 y .20; p < .01). Se comentan estos hallazgos y se sugieren recomendaciones para futuras investigaciones.
Nuevamente la comunidad geográfica como categoría central. Aproximaciones teóricas y empíricas cubanas
Authors: Caballero Reyes Claudia María
Published: August 2024

Las comunidades geográficas son reconocidas por el lugar relevante que ocupan en la sociedad. Tienen un rol significativo en la construcción y transformación social, el fortalecimiento de identidades, culturas y la conformación de una red de relaciones de apoyo mutuo, en contraposición a la desintegración social y el individualismo. En el contexto cubano actual, la comunidad, con base en el municipio, reviste gran importancia para el desarrollo económico y social. En este artículo, se ofrece un análisis teórico crítico respecto a la comunidad geográfica desde la perspectiva de la Psicología Comunitaria, que tome en consideración los aportes científicos cubanos a la vez que dialogue con las vastas producciones foráneas. Como resultado de esta discusión, se obtienen tres aportes principales: 1) Una elaboración teórica que legitima el estudio de la comunidad geográfica a partir de la delimitación municipal. 2) Una reflexión en torno a los desafíos y las oportunidades del estudio de comunidades geográficas en los contextos urbanos. 3) Una sistematización de las investigaciones cubanas en torno a las comunidades, organizada en función de las áreas temáticas abordadas. Con todo lo anterior, se argumenta el relevante papel de la Psicología Comunitaria en el acompañamiento a los procesos de desarrollo local.

Authors: Ghobadi Ali , Yousefi Homayoun , Ghasemi Ebrahim
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this research was to study operational indicators that could effectively improve the productivity of Khorramshahr port operation. A mixed exploratory and qualitative-quantitative research method was used. The research was carried out on the statistical sample of 34 subjects, including the managers, experts and staff of Khorramshahr Port Authority, chosen as a statistical sample using the available sampling method. The data analysis method (DEA), a mathematical method and one of the best non-parametric methods, was used to measure organizational efficiency based on input and output variables. Another method, fuzzy TOPSIS, was used to assist with the decision-making process. In this study, operational indicators were examined to increase the productivity of Khorramshahr port, using the data envelopment analysis method, the multiple CCR model and the fuzzy TOPSIS technique. In the Data Envelopment Analysis method, indicators whose efficiency score equals one are considered effective. The results obtained using the two methods (Data Envelopment Analysis and fuzzy TOPSIS) indicate that there are no sufficiently efficient and productive operational efficiency indicators that could be used to increase the performance of Khorramshahr port wharfs. Therefore, as seen from both research methods, the loading and unloading indices of the Khorramshahr wharfs must be top priority.

Data was collected from the research region and assessed using Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) and Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI). The results have shown  the transportation modes in hinterland region of Prigi Commercial Port to be inadequate and partially achieved. The government took two steps and the first was associated with the preservation and improvement of the positive aspects of transportation mode integration, such as intermodal network availability, route clarity, transfer points across various networks, and time. The second step addressed the less satisfactory elements, such as the availability of primary modes, information, clarity schedule transparency, fare details, clear timing information, and modes connection.
Artificial Intelligence in Indonesian Ports: Opportunities and Challenges
Authors: Safuan  , Syafira Asma
Published: August 2024

The primary objective of this study is to ascertain the potential advantages and obstacles associated with implementing artificial intelligence (AI) within the context of Indonesian ports. The study utilises qualitative methodologies, namely conducting in-depth interviews with port managers, technicians, and operational staff. Additionally, it involves the analysis of secondary data derived from yearly port reports, case studies, and academic literature. The findings demonstrate that artificial intelligence (AI) can augment operational efficiency, boost ship traffic management, and automate container handling activities within Indonesian ports. Nevertheless, integrating artificial intelligence (AI) within Indonesian ports is currently in its nascent phase, encountering challenges about physical limitations, human capital, and regulatory frameworks. The investigation also examines using interconnected technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and augmented reality (AR), to provide additional advantages to the port sector. In summary, via a comprehensive comprehension and effective utilisation of the opportunities afforded by artificial intelligence (AI), Indonesian ports have the potential to position themselves as frontrunners in the international maritime sector.
A Novel Traffic Speed Prediction for Road Weaving Sections: Incorporating Traffic Flow Characteristics
Authors: ZHOU Yuming , ZHANG Min , ZHANG Chi , XIE Zilong , WANG Bo
Published: August 2024

Weaving sections on roads are crucial areas with high concentrations of mandatory lane changes, which can increase the likelihood of traffic accidents. Speed is a key factor in determining traffic safety, and the development of an accurate speed prediction method is essential for improving safety in weaving sections. While current methods are effective in predicting speeds in straightforward situations, they face challenges in more complex scenarios such as weaving sections. This study presents a refined traffic speed prediction approach specifically designed for weaving sections in order to tackle the aforementioned issue. Initially, novel variables were formulated to capture the unique traffic flow attributes present in weaving sections, which distinguish them from standard road segments. Subsequently, supplementary empirical variables that are known to impact speed were incorporated. We conducted a variable importance assessment to ascertain the extent and direction of each variable’s contribution. Lastly, variables with significant positive effects were chosen as inputs for three machine learning algorithms: Random Forest (RF), Backpropagation Neural Network optimised with Genetic Algorithm (BPNN-GA) and Support Vector Regression (SVR). This method was evaluated using aerial footage from five distinct weaving sections in China, maintaining an approximately 3 km/h prediction error. In addition, the study also finds that the speed distribution in weaving sections is negatively correlated with the number of lane-changing. Vehicles experience deceleration at both on-ramp and off-ramp, with a more significant deceleration occurring at the on-ramp. Speed is significantly affected by short length, number of lanes and proportion of large vehicles. The proposed method can be embedded into intelligent traffic systems for safe speeds of autonomous vehicles in weaving sections. Reconstructing spatiotemporal patterns of traffic congestion, predicting traffic accidents and implementing active traffic management strategies in weaving sections could be investigated in the future.

Asthenoteratozoospermia, a prevalent cause of male infertility, lacks a well-defined etiology. DNAH12 is a special dynein featured by the absence of a microtubule-binding domain, however, its functions in spermatogenesis remain largely unknown. Through comprehensive genetic analyses involving whole-exome sequencing and subsequent Sanger sequencing on infertile patients and fertile controls from six distinct families, we unveiled six biallelic mutations in
DNAH12
that co-segregate recessively with male infertility in the studied families. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed pronounced axonemal abnormalities, including inner dynein arms (IDAs) impairment and central pair (CP) loss in sperm flagella of the patients. Mouse models (
Dnah12
−/−
and

Dnah12
mut/mut

) were generated and recapitulated the reproductive defects in the patients. Noteworthy, DNAH12 deficiency did not show effects on cilium organization and function. Mechanistically, DNAH12 was confirmed to interact with two other IDA components DNALI1 and DNAH1, while disruption of DNAH12 leads to failed recruitment of DNALI1 and DNAH1 to IDAs and compromised sperm development. Furthermore, DNAH12 also interacts with radial spoke head proteins RSPH1, RSPH9, and DNAJB13 to regulate CP stability. Moreover, the infertility of
Dnah12

mice could be overcome by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment. Collectively, DNAH12 plays a crucial role in the proper organization of axoneme in sperm flagella, but not cilia, by recruiting DNAH1 and DNALI1 in both humans and mice. These findings expand our comprehension of dynein component assembly in flagella and cilia and provide a valuable marker for genetic counseling and diagnosis of asthenoteratozoospermia in clinical practice.
Structure transfer and consolidation in visual implicit learning
Authors: Garber Dominik , Fiser József
Published: August 2024

Transfer learning, the re-application of previously learned higher-level regularities to novel input, is a key challenge in cognition. While previous empirical studies investigated human transfer learning in supervised or reinforcement learning for explicit knowledge, it is unknown whether such transfer occurs during naturally more common implicit and unsupervised learning and, if so, how it is related to memory consolidation. We compared the transfer of newly acquired explicit and implicit abstract knowledge during unsupervised learning by extending a visual statistical learning paradigm to a transfer learning context. We found transfer during unsupervised learning but with important differences depending on the explicitness/implicitness of the acquired knowledge. Observers acquiring explicit knowledge during initial learning could transfer the learned structures immediately. In contrast, observers with the same amount but implicit knowledge showed the opposite effect, a structural interference during transfer. However, with sleep between the learning phases, implicit observers, while still remaining implicit, switched their behaviour and showed the same pattern of transfer as explicit observers did. This effect was specific to sleep and not found after non-sleep consolidation. Our results highlight similarities and differences between explicit and implicit learning while acquiring generalizable higher-level knowledge and relying on consolidation for restructuring internal representations.

The parasitic nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus bakeri secretes the HpARI family, which bind to IL-33, either suppressing (HpARI1 and HpARI2) or enhancing (HpARI3) responses to the cytokine. We previously showed that HpARI2 also bound to DNA via its first complement control protein (CCP1) domain. Here, we find that HpARI1 can also bind DNA, while HpARI3 cannot. Through the production of HpARI2/HpARI3 CCP1 domain-swapped chimeras, DNA-binding ability can be transferred, and correlates with in vivo half-life of administered proteins. We found that HpARI1 and HpARI2 (but not HpARI3) also binds to the extracellular matrix component heparan sulphate (HS), and structural modelling showed a basic charged patch in the CCP1 domain of HpARI1 and HpARI2 (but not HpARI3) which could facilitate these interactions. Finally, a mutant of HpARI2 was produced which lacked DNA and HS binding, and was also shown to have a short half-life in vivo. Therefore, we propose that during infection the suppressive HpARI1 and HpARI2 proteins have long-lasting effects at the site of deposition due to DNA and/or extracellular matrix interactions, while HpARI3 has a shorter half-life due to a lack of these interactions.

Conversely, HpARI3 may have a shorter half-life of effects where deposited, but could diffuse to distal sites.
Exploring Child Standpoint Theory in Early Childhood Education
Authors: Källebo Annica
Published: August 2024

This empirical study in Bangladesh explores the potential of Child Standpoint Theory in constructing and reconstructing the child in early childhood education (ECE) and its role in facilitating cross-cultural comparisons in and of ECE systems. The comparative gaze is considered for ways of scholarly investigation in the context of ECE system messiness. The paper suggests viewing children as relational ethnographic units of comparisons for comparing the conditionality, contextual elements, and temporality of each child's education across cultures through a three-fold approach. Spanning method and theory, the approach combines the notion of the entangled researcher and the comparative case study tool of tracing with Child standpoint theory. Findings are presented through a comprehensive visualization of a ‘child’ going through the ECE system during a day as a pathway to deeper analysis of facets underpinning ECE from a bottom-up rather than top-down approach.
Can aromatherapy reduce restless legs syndrome in hemodialysis patients? a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Cho Mi-Kyoung , Kim Mi Young
Published: August 2024

Purpose: This study conducted a systematic literature review and meta-analysis on the effectiveness of aromatherapy in reducing restless legs syndrome (RLS) in hemodialysis patients.Methods: Using the population, intervention, comparison, outcome, study design framework, a search was conducted of eight electronic databases: PubMed, Cochrane, Embase-Ovid, CINAHL, Web of science, Scopus, PQDT, and RISS. The population was hemodialysis patients, and the intervention included aromatherapy aiming at RLS, compared to control groups receiving placebo or usual care. The outcome measured was RLS, and the study design was randomized controlled trials.Results: The analysis included seven articles presenting results from 10 studies, and the pooled overall effect of aromatherapy on RLS in hemodialysis patients was shown by a Hedge’s g of −1.84 (95% confidence interval: −2.45 to −1.23). Meta-regression analysis revealed greater effectiveness in studies that received funding. Age over 60, lavender oil use, intervention duration of less than 4 weeks, sessions longer than 30 minutes, a routine care control group, and quality assessment score of 10 or less were associated with RLS reduction.Conclusion: The study concluded that aromatherapy is effective for managing RLS in hemodialysis patients.
Da construção dos engenhos de cana-de-açúcar à espacialidade negra: geografizando sobre o Crato-CE

A introdução do trabalho escravizado no Brasil, no que se refere aos povos africanos, permitiu a espacialização de variados conhecimentos, forjando um patrimônio cultural material e imaterial, onde se inclui a construção dos engenhos de cana-de-açúcar, em específico os do município do Crato-Ce, então utilizados na produção de rapadura e aguardente. Assim, o nosso trabalho, decorreu da seguinte problemática: a catalogação dos engenhos de cana-de-açúcar do Crato-Ce nos permite apreender a espacialidade negra em determinado tempo-espaço? Nesse contexto, nosso objetivo principal foi o de catalogar os engenhos de cana-de-açúcar do Crato para compreender a espacialidade negra em determinado tempo-espaço. Para tanto, nos fundamentamos na pesquisa afrodescendente, elaborada por Cunha Junior (2013). No que tange a revisão de literatura tivemos como alguns referenciais, os trabalhos de Cunha Junior (2015; 2013; 2011; 2010), Nunes e Cunha Junior (2011) e Ratts (2011). Na fase de campo, em andamento, estamos coletando os dados através de acervos fotográficos, cartográficos e da história oral. Embora a pesquisa esteja em desenvolvimento podemos perceber que estudar os engenhos como possuidores de uma essência cultural africana corrobora para o entendimento de como tal população atuou na produção do espaço geográfico cratense.

Published: August 2024

Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a chronic Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) that affects the inner lining of the colon, imposing a significant burden on healthcare systems worldwide. Symptoms include bloody stools and abdominal pain. The prevalence of UC is increasing, particularly among young adults. The pathogenesis involves immune responses, genetics and environmental factors. Diagnostic delays are common, leading to complications and increased costs. Early diagnosis is crucial for preventing complications. Endoscopy is the primary diagnostic tool. Treatment aims to reduce inflammation and achieve remission. Delayed diagnosis can lead to longterm complications such as Colorectal Cancer (CRC) and bowel stenosis. Prompt recognition and management are essential for minimising the disease burden and optimising care. The present study delves into the complex nature of UC, a chronic IBD, revealing its epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic challenges, treatment strategies, prognosis, complications and the impact of delayed diagnosis on patients’ quality of life. The study highlights the evolving understanding of UC pathogenesis, incorporating immune responses, genetics, environmental factors and biomarkers. It also discusses diagnostic delays due to symptom similarities and the need for increased awareness among healthcare providers and the public. The study also discusses advanced diagnostic methods and therapeutic approaches, including novel drug targets and surgical interventions. It also highlights the negative consequences of delayed diagnosis, including increased morbidity, psychological distress and socioeconomic burden. The study emphasises the need for collaborative efforts to ensure timely and appropriate care for UC patients.
