Working towards culturally sensitive ethical practice in a multicultural society
Authors: Weber Zita
Published: January 2022

In the last two decades there has been a lot of theorising about multiculturalism and professional practice. Many practitioners are challenged by cultural diversity daily. Practising from a culturally sensitive ethical perspective in a multicultural society is essential for good practice. Postmodern influences and critical questioning are seen to inform culturally sensitive ethical practice in their encouragement of practitioners’ adoption of multiple belief systems and multiple perspectives and the need to pose questions challenging practice regarding awareness of cultural encapsulation and cultural sensitivity. The development of culturally sensitive ethical practice guidelines within the context of a multicultural society is proposed, firstly, by assessing the cultural sensitivity of the ethics codes and secondly, by balancing culture and ethical codes.

Authors: Costa Ana , Policiano Catarina , Clode Nuno , M. Graça Luís
Published: January 2022

Introduction: To analyze the cesarean section rate evolution in a tertiary hospital and the main indications for cesarean section.Material and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at a major academic hospital and included 5 751 women who had a cesarean section from 2005 to 2011. The rates of overall, primary and repeat cesarean sections were analyzed. A linear regression and adjusted R-square were used to access the relative contribution of each indication to the variation in primary cesarean section.Results: During the 7-year period of the study the cesarean section rate decreased from 30.9% to 27.6%. This was due to a decrease in primary cesarean section (21.9% to 18.2%), although an increase in repeat cesarean section was observed (9.0% to 9.4%). Among the indications for primary cesarean section, maternal-fetal indications and malpresentation were the ones that decreased the most with adjusted R-square of 0.70 and 0.55, respectively.Discussion: The collected data identified that the decrease in the cesarean section rate at the hospital resulted from a decrease in primary cesarean section deliveries, especially the ones performed for maternal-fetal indications and malpresentation.Conclusion: The decrease in primary cesarean section rate may be attributed to several changes in medical policies in the Department, such as the implementation of an external fetal version program, the induction of labor only after the 41st week of gestation in low-risk pregnancies and the trial for vaginal birth in maternal-fetal disease. Nevertheless subjective indications such as labor arrest disorders and nonreassuring fetal heart rate are still major contributors for primary cesarean section rate.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: Current indications for open abdomen management are damage control surgery, severe intra-abdominal sepsis, abdominal compartment syndrome, abdominal wall closure under tension and mass loss of the abdominal wall.Objective: To describe the experience in open abdomen management using the MALA (mayor absorción de líquido abdominal [greater absorption of abdominal liquid]) bag at the Maternal-Perinatal Hospital Mónica Pretelini Saénz, Health Institute of the State of Mexico.Material and Methods: This was a bidirectional, descriptive and observational study. All patients with the diagnosis of open abdomen managed with the MALA bag admitted to the Obstetric Intensive Care Unit from February 2009 to June 2012 were included.Results: From 25 cases identified in the period of the study, seven were eliminated for incomplete files, remaining 18 cases for the analysis. The mean age was 31.5 years. 78% of the patients were multigravidas, 50% of them with a history of 2 or more deliveries, 83% had a previous cesarean section and 78% were hysterectomized. Evisceration was present in one patient. The main indication for surgical management was damage control. One patient died and a second was transferred to another institution, the rest were discharged by clinical improvement. 12 patients (67%) spent less than 14 days in the Obstetric Intensive Care Unit, only one patient required morethan 30 days in the unit. Discussion: Halve the women who required this surgical alternative, were above 30 years of age. Stressing is the fact that from the 18 admitted patients, 14 (78%) had undergone obstetric hysterectomy, with the etiology of uterine atony in most cases. Damage control surgery seems to be the most elective surgical option to use MALA bag followed by ACS and abdominal sepsis.Conclusion: The MALA bag can offer an economic and effective surgical option for the open abdomen management as well as adrainage technique.

Published: January 2022

Introdução: A prevalência de tabagismo em Portugal é estimada em 19,7% (2005). O tabagismo é prevalente nas perturbações da ansiedade. Alguns estudos referem que 60% dos fumadores tem história de depressão. A dependência tabágica pode ser avaliada pela escala de Fagerström. A Escala de Ansiedade e Depressão Hospitalar permite estimar a ansiedade e depressão. O objectivo deste trabalho foi procurar a existência de relação entre tabagismo e ansiedade/depressão em utentes de oito unidades de cuidados primários.Material e Métodos: Foi desenhado um estudo observacional, descritivo, transversal, analítico. Inquérito anónimo. Foram considerados como critérios de inclusão os utilizadores das unidades, maiores de 18 anos e alfabetizados e de exclusão os menores de 18 anos ou erros no preenchimento dos inquéritos. As variáveis consideradas foram: Fagerström, Escala de Ansiedade e Depressão Hospitalar, idade, estado civil, género, profissão, escolaridade.Resultados: Foram considerados no estudo um total de 608 indivíduos, sendo 64% do género feminino e 21% de fumadores. Não verificámos diferenças em termos de ansiedade ou depressão na comparação entre não fumadores, ex-fumadores e fumadores. Verificámos que o grau de dependência da nicotina varia directamente com a ansiedade e depressão embora só se encontre relação estatisticamente significativa no género feminino, mesmo após correcção do efeito da idade.Discussão: Existe relação entre dependência da nicotina e gravidade de sintomas de ansiedade e depressão, sobretudo no género feminino. Limitação: viés de selecção.Conclusão: Este estudo fornece informação relativa aos factores psicológicos associados ao consumo de tabaco, podendo ser útil no tratamento da dependência de nicotina.

Published: January 2022

Os hemangiomas hepáticos infantis constituem o terceiro tumor hepático mais frequente na criança e o mais frequente antes dos seis meses. As opções terapêuticas são determinadas pela apresentação clínica, devendo ser individualizadas. Apresenta-se o caso de uma criança actualmente com quatro anos de idade, com diagnóstico neonatal de volumosa malformação hepática vascularizada, com critérios imagiológicos compatíveis com hemangioma hepático infantil. Destaca-se a ocorrência inicial de Síndrome de Kasabach-Merrit (trombocitopenia, anemia) e insuficiência cardíaca que resolveram espontaneamente. Ao longo do período de seguimento, o estudo imagiológico evolutivo (ecografia, doppler ressonância magnética e tomografia computorizada com administração de contraste endovenoso) confirmou a hipótese de HHI ao permitir o mapeamento vascular detalhado. A partir do primeiro ano de vida, constatou-se evolução favorável com redução progressiva da massa. Embora se tenha mantido atitude conservadora, a melhor abordagem e intervenção nesta entidade, permanece controversa. Salientam-se as particularidades deste caso, discutindo a abordagem com melhor relação custo-benefício.

Authors: Silva Ícaro Breno Da , Mendes Lúcia Maria Silveira
Published: January 2022

A abordagem morfopedológica delimita compartimentos a partir da relação entre os aspectos litológicos,geomorfológicos e pedológicos, sendo muito utilizada para o diagnóstico e controle dos processos erosivos. A área analisadalocaliza-se na porção central do estado do Ceará, abrangendo parte das sub-bacias dos rios Patu, Miguel Rodrigues,Bonsucesso e do Meio, compondo o Alto Banabuiú. O objetivo geral da pesquisa é analisar o potencial de erosão laminar daárea do Alto Banabuiú a partir da compartimentação morfopedológica. Dessa forma, para a identificação das áreas compotencial erosivo, decidiu-se pela utilização da análise integrada do meio físico, bem como pela adaptação de metodologiasreferentes à abordagem morfopedológica. Para isso, foram trabalhados no programa ArcMap 10.2.2, dados matriciais evetoriais que auxiliaram na produção dos mapeamentos temáticos. Os resultados mostraram com fidelidade as diferentesclasses de susceptibilidade e potencialidade à erosão laminar, fato confirmado pelas observações de campo. Predominaramas áreas moderadamente susceptíveis e as de baixo potencial de erosão laminar. Ao longo da área, foi possível distinguir seiscompartimentos morfopedológicos, sendo os compartimentos I (241,09 km²), III (89,09 km²) e VI (46,97 km²) os maisvulneráveis aos processos erosivos, o que representa 25,5% da área total. A fim de orientar a gestão da ocupação e do uso daterra, sugere-se que sejam realizadas a recuperação e a preservação das áreas mais críticas, sendo as demais localidadespropensas ao uso pela pecuária e culturas perenes e anuais, devendo ser adotadas técnicas de controle de erosão,mecanizadas ou edafovegetacionais, quando necessário.

Published: January 2022

The dynamics of suspended sediment production and transport in large rivers are essential geomorphologicalprocesses that can influence biodiversity. The aim of this work was to analyze the spatio-temporal variation of suspendedsediment transport in the lower Negro River using Sentinel-2 images. The suspended sediment concentration (SSC) wasestimated from the reflectance of band 4 of the MSI sensor onboard the Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B. The results indicate thatthe hydrological regime controls the temporal variability of SSC, being higher in the low water period and lower duringflooding, with a mean concentration of 5.28 mg L-1 for the period 2015–2019. Analysis of the spatial variation of SSC inSentinel-2 images indicated a zone of active sediment deposition located downstream of the islands of the AnavilhanasArchipelago. Geology, forest cover, and hydrological variability are the main factors controlling the low sediment yield of thebasin, with an estimated suspended solid flux of 5.76×106 ton∙year-1 and a specific yield of 8 ton∙km-2∙year-1. Despite the lowerquantity of images between February and April, due to high cloud cover, this study showed that Sentinel-2 images could beused to monitor the temporal and spatial dynamics of suspended sediment transport in Amazonian blackwater rivers.

Published: January 2022

Liquid biopsy of tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) has great potential as a biomarker source for prostate cancer (CaP) early diagnosis and predicting the stages of cancer. The contents of EVs play an important role in intercellular communication and have specific expression in blood and urine samples from CaP patients. Powered by high-throughput, next-generation sequencing and proteomic technologies, novel EV biomarkers are easily detected in a non-invasive manner in different stages of CaP patients. These identified potential biomarkers can be further validated with a large sample size, machine learning model, and other different methods to improve the sensitivity and specificity of CaP diagnosis. The EV-based liquid biopsy is a novel and less-invasive alternative to surgical biopsies which would enable clinicians to potentially discover a whole picture of tumor through a simple blood or urine sample. In summary, this approach holds promise for developing personalized medicine to guide treatment decisions precisely for CaP patients.

Authors: Farahiyah Dzata , Reza Afrizar Fikri
Published: January 2022

Indoor positioning and navigation now contribute in many applications to track and direct people inside the building. The popular trilateration technique is utilized to detect user’s position through three access point of Bluetooth low energy. However, received signal from Bluetooth has insignificancy due to the noise, multipath, fading or other radio propagation. A study of received signal characteristics in specific indoor locations must be considered to predict and improve the accuracy of estimation. In this case, the adjustment of raw received signal readings is essential. we extracted linear regression model by compare between raw and analytical value of received signal power. Then, utilizing the corrected received signal, finding the best suitable path loss exponent model is required in order to minimize position estimation error. The last step is applying the additional model and the chosen path-loss on LabVIEW as a mean to visualize position and navigation system. The result yield that the new model gives lower error on 2 out of 3 access points. The corresponding path loss exponent n = 2.1 is selected to comply with the indoor environment in this case. The lowest RMSE yields 1.24 and considered as a good level of accuracy. The Navigation system worked well providing route to the desired location in the Laboratory.

A robot is a mechanical device that can perform physical tasks, either autonomously or with human control. Robots began to be used for monitoring in areas that have narrow spaces and/or dangerous areas. So that this robot must be able to carry out monitoring with a remote control system. Therefore, in this study, a robotank is designed that can perform space exploration with remote control. Robotank is designed to use a track and wheel that can pass through various terrains and it has dimensions of 11.8 x 10.8 x 9.1 cm. Robotank is equipped with a camera to monitor in real-time. Robotank can move from one point to another by controlling using a remote control system with a maximum distance of 20 meters in line of sight terrain and 16 meters in non-line of site fields, with an average speed of 0.84 m/s. Robotank can work for 1 hour 52 minutes. With this robotank, it is hoped that it can be used for exploration of areas or rooms that have small spaces and dangerous.
The modelling of nonlinear distance sensor using piecewise newton polynomial with vertex algorithm
Authors: Gandha Gutama Indra
Published: January 2022

The Sharp GP2Y0A02YK0F is categorized as a nonlinear sensor for distance measurement. This sensor is also categorized as a low-cost sensor. The higher resolution, cheap, high accuracy and easy to install are the advantages. The accuracy level of this sensor depends on the type of the measured object materials, requires an additional device unit and further processing is required since the output is non-linear. The distance determination is not easy for this type of sensor since the characteristic of this sensor fulfills non-injective function.  The modelling process is one of methods to convert the output voltage of the sensor to a distance unit. The advantages of polynomial modelling are simple form model, moderate in flexibilities of shape, well known and understood properties, and easy to use for computational matters. The obstacle of polynomial-based modelling is the presence of Runge’s phenomenon. The minimization of Runge’s phenomenon can be done with decreasing the model order. The piecewise Newton polynomials with vertex determination  method have been succeeded to generate a nonlinear model and minimize the occurrence of Runge’s phenomenon. The low level of MSE by 0.001 and error percentage of 2.38% has been obtained for the generated model. The low MSE level leads to the high accuracy level of the generated model.
Tardigrades and Their Emergence as Model Organisms
Authors: Goldstein Bob
Published: January 2022

Experimentally tractable organisms like C. elegans, Drosophila, zebrafish, and mouse are popular models for addressing diverse questions in biology. In 1997, two of the most valuable invertebrate model organisms to date – C. elegans and Drosophila – were found to be much more closely related to each other than expected. C. elegans and Drosophila belong to the nematodes and arthropods respectively, and these two phyla and six other phyla make up a clade of molting animals referred to as the Ecdysozoa. The other ecdysozoan phyla could be valuable models for comparative biology, taking advantage of the rich and continual sources of research findings as well as tools from both C. elegans and Drosophila. But when the Ecdysozoa was first recognized, few tools were available for laboratory studies in any of these six other ecdysozoan phyla. In 1999 I began an effort to develop tools for studying one such phylum, the tardigrades. Here, I describe how the tardigrade species Hypsibius exemplaris and tardigrades more generally have emerged over the past two decades as valuable new models for answering diverse questions. To date, these questions have included how animal body plans evolve and how biological materials can survive some remarkably extreme conditions.
Imaging of Type I Retroaortic Left Renal Vein & Nutcracker Syndrome
Authors: Fontanella Giovanni , Borrelli Simona , Dello Iacono Umberto , Brogna Barbara
Published: January 2022

Retroaortic left renal veins are an often overlooked, but no so rare anatomic anomaly that might cause a few aspecific symptoms and signs, especially flank or inguinal pain, microscopic or even gross hematuria; in the vast majority of cases it is, thought, totally asymptomatic. The nutcracker syndrome that might arise in the case of RLRV is mainly due to the re- duced space between aorta and the vertebral body and the consequent compression on the venal rein; this might in turn cause upstream hypertension, hematuria, varicocele, pain. The compression of RLRV leads to hematuria because of renal venous hypertension, consequent left renal congestion. This upstream venous congestion might result, in some cases, in left-sided varicocele in men and pelvic congestion syndrome in women. From a radiologic point of view, the presence of RLRV and the precise reporting its subtypes is mandatory.
Can Piezoelectric Tiles be a Solution for a Sustainable Classroom? A Case Study from Sreenidhi International School
Authors: Joshi Paras
Published: January 2022

With the depletion of natural resources, it has become a topic of great concern to address the unsustainable way of life. In this study, we investigate the use of piezoelectric material - to generate electricity in schools. The use of these piezoelectric materials in floor tiles could enable us to generate energy from the footsteps of the children in school. The goal is to be able to power lights and fans in classrooms and reduce the consumption of conventional electricity - produced through the combustion of coal and other natural resources. The primary method of research is to develop a prototype with different choices of material and configurations of piezoelectric transducers to maximize power generation in a typical school setting. The results showed that the energy generated from one step needs to be improved by a factor of 100 for a typical classroom to generate enough power for a light and a fan. The research found that current technology although promising is incapable of producing enough power via piezoelectric tiles in a school setting.

Published: January 2022

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) causes dementia and memory loss in the elderly. Deposits of beta-amyloid peptide and hyperphosphorylated tau protein are present in AD’s brain. A filtrate of Helicobacter pylori’s culture was previously found to induce hyperphosphorylation of tau in vivo, suggesting that bacterial exotoxins could permeate the blood brain barrier and directly induce tau’s phosphorylation. H. pylori, which infects ~60% of the world population and causes gastritis and gastric cancer, produces a pro-inflammatory urease (HPU). Here the neurotoxic potential of HPU was investigated in cultured cells and in rats. SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells exposed HPU (50-300 nM) produced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and had an increased [Ca2+]i. HPU-treated BV-2 microglial cells produced ROS, cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α, expressed Iba1 and showed reduced viability, consistent with a neurotoxic effect of HPU. Rats received daily i.p. HPU (5 µg) for 7 days. Hyperphosphorylation of tau at Thr205, Ser199 and Ser396 sites was seen in hippocampal homogenates of treated rats, with no alterations in total tau or GSK-3b levels. HPU was not detected in the brain homogenates. Behavioral tests were performed to assess cognitive impairments. Our findings support previous data suggesting an association between infection by H. pylori and tauopathies such as AD, possibly mediated by its urease.

Published: January 2022

Background:

Although aspirin has been adopted as an effective and safe prophylaxis against venous thromboembolism (VTE) by the arthroplasty community, the role of aspirin in the prevention of VTE in the setting of arthroplasty for trauma remains insufficiently known. Therefore, the present multicenter study investigated the efficacy of aspirin as VTE prophylaxis for patients with femoral neck fracture undergoing total hip arthroplasty or hemiarthroplasty.

Methods:

We reviewed the medical records of 1,141 patients with femoral neck fracture who underwent total hip arthroplasty or hemiarthroplasty from 2008 to 2018 at 3 different institutions. Data on patient demographic characteristics, body mass index, history of VTE, and comorbidities were obtained from an electronic chart query and were confirmed by reviewing the medical records manually. Patients were allocated to cohorts based on the type of prophylaxis administered: aspirin (n = 454) and other anticoagulants (n = 687). Patients were then propensity score-matched on the basis of the risk score calculated using a previously validated tool and the remaining confounding variables. The primary outcome was the development of symptomatic VTE, namely deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) confirmed by appropriate imaging, within 90 days after the surgical procedure. A bivariable analysis was performed.

Results:

The overall VTE rate was 1.98% for patients who received aspirin compared with 6.7% for patients who received other anticoagulants (p < 0.001). After propensity score matching and regression modeling, aspirin was found to be noninferior to more potent anticoagulation in preventing VTE after both total hip arthroplasty and hemiarthroplasty.

Conclusions:

Aspirin is an effective option for VTE prophylaxis in patients with femoral neck fracture who undergo hip arthroplasty. Based on the patient management benefits of aspirin for elective arthroplasty and the present study, we suggest its use in standard-risk ambulatory patients.

The Puna–Altiplano Plateau of the Central Andes is the second-highest plateau in the world (after Tibet), with a mean elevation of 4000 m.a.s.l. and an arid to hyperarid climate. Uplift of the Puna–Altiplano Plateau has affected lower-level atmospheric circulation, acting as a barrier to humid easterly winds from the Amazon basin and favoring an across-strike precipitation gradient resulting in a humid climate towards the east of the plateau and an arid to hyperarid climate in the orogen's interior. In the modern climate, the Bolivian High anticyclone regulates upper troposphere circulation, but little is known about the high-altitude tropospheric circulation of the past. This work focuses on the eolian record of the San Antonio de los Cobres basin along the eastern border of the Puna Plateau, NW Argentina, with the aim of analyzing its origin and thus elucidating the late Miocene winds. The eolian deposits are constrained by 7.8 Ma (K/Ar and U/Pb) and 6.4 Ma (U/Pb) ignimbrites at the nearly basal and upper contacts, respectively. Based on stratigraphic, sedimentological, and provenance analysis of the eolian units, we have identified three main facies associations (FAs): FA1) cross-stratified sandstones with large- to small-scale tabular, planar cross-bedding and with trough cross-stratification; FA2) sandstones with planar to low-angle stratification associated with thinly laminated ripple sandstone strata; FA3) medium- to coarse-grained massive sandstones associated with pebbly to bouldery, matrix-supported conglomerates and clast-supported conglomerates. The lateral and vertical facies assemblages indicate a dune field confined to topographic depressions dominated by transverse dunes with straight and sinuous crestlines that laterally grade into sandsheets associated with ephemeral streams. Paleoflows, lithotypes, and grain-size determinations indicate a persistent north-northwest provenance and wind velocities of 24–38 km/h (with maximum velocities of 55–75 km/h).

The results of our analysis coupled with data from previous studies indicates that, for at least the last ca. 8 Myr, the winds have been blowing constantly from the north-northwest with an intensity similar to the present. This implies that the paleo-atmospheric circulation had a similar pattern to the present-day one. Therefore, we conclude that the upper-troposphere circulation in the Puna Plateau of NW Argentina was already regulated by the Bolivian High anticyclone during the Miocene, generating constant north-northwesterly winds.
‘The Hermit Next Door’: The Role of Eremitism/Asceticism in Contemporary Shamanic Healing Practices in North-East Scotland
Authors: Barmpalexis Athanasios
Published: January 2022

Based on an ethnographic study of ‘Western’ forms of contemporary shamanism in North East Scotland, the article discusses the significant role that eremitism plays in folk healing systems, particularly in shamanism. The tendency to live an isolated life is not only a key feature of traditional shamanic healing practices, but it can also be found in contemporary manifestations of them. Two such cases are discussed in this article. Terry Mace and Norman Duncan are two contemporary shamanic healers who live and offer services in the wider region of North East Scotland. For different individual reasons, they have self-consciously decided to isolate themselves geographically, living simply and self-abundantly, and leading an eremitic way of life away from materialism and socialising. The article thus focuses on examining the role of eremitism in the life of these two healers in an attempt to highlight the significance of the phenomenon in contemporary shamanisms.

The stock market is one of the alternatives chosen by companies to meet their funding needs. The first offering of a company's shares through the stock market to investors is called an Initial Public Offering. At the time of initial public offering, underpricing often occurs when the initial stock price on the primary market is lower than the stock price on the secondary market which will disadvantage the company because the collected funds are not maximum. This research aims to analyze the effect of macroeconomic factors on underpricing in companies conducting IPOs listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2010 to 2020. Using Regression Linear Analyze we found that macroeconomic variables as Inflation, IDX Composite Index, and GDP significantly affect underpricing on IPO in Indonesia Stock Exchange for 2010 to 2020

This article reviews the relationship between leadership in the Ministry of Finance of The Republic of Indonesia and the results of the 2020 Integrity Assessment Survey conducted by the Corruption Eradication Commission of The Republic of Indonesia, where the Ministry of Finance obtained an index of 87.86 on a scale of 100.00. This achievement was classified as good because the average achievement index for the ministries/agencies and local governments was 82.6. With the various definitions of leadership, it is generally agreed that leadership plays an essential role in determining the success of an organization or group within the organization. Leaders have the authority to make decisions and in carrying out what has become a decision. In addition, through the authority possessed, the leader plays a role in determining the work culture and values that are embraced and carried out by everyone in the organization in relation to the implementation of work. This article aims to examine the role of leadership in the achievement of integrity assessment surveys in the Ministry of Finance of The Republic of Indonesia. From a theoretical perspective and studies related to leadership that scholars have previously carried out, there is a common thread between leadership and the results of the integrity assessment survey. It is necessary to conduct a more in-depth empirical study to find out how significant leadership contributes to the achievement of the results of the integrity assessment survey.
