Authors: Kurnia Beta , Octaviani Vethy , Sari Sapta
Published: March 2024

Adolescence is a period of exploring self-potential to form a solid personality, teenagers will later experience marriage. Currently early marriage and infidelity is one of the factors causing divorce. With so many cases of divorce due to infidelity that occur based on true stories, the filmmakers made this story into a work through a media with the aim of being able to convey the moral message of the story of infidelity to the public, one of the series that was appointed, namely Series Mendua. Series Mendua tells about the problems of marriage. In this study, the researcher chose the perspective of adolescents as research subjects, so based on this background, the researcher raised the title "Youth Perceptions of Marriage Problems in the Double Series". The purpose of this study is to find out how adolescents perceive marital problems in the Mendua Series. This study used a qualitative descriptive method, and was analyzed based on the Hypodermic Needle theory. The results of the study show that the adolescent's perception of marital problems in the Mendua Series is a positive thing, namely a series that is accepted by society, provides lessons in running a household, with very professional roles. The average informant uses cellphone media, watches the telegram application. The message conveyed by Series Mendua in running a household is not to easily listen to other people's words, prove it to yourself if there is a problem and solve it immediately. Perceptions about Series Mendua that marriage is not only harmonious but also has marital problems such as infidelity, fights, domestic violence, lies, hatred and divorce.

Published: March 2024

This journal is entitled "Pattern of Collection and Distribution of Zakat Fitrah 1444 H in the ZISWAF FEBI Laboratory. The background for writing this journal is due to the phenomenon of the lack of interest of students in paying zakat fitrah at the ZISWAF FEBI Lab. This study uses a qualitative approach and descriptive research type. The research subjects were FEBI, amil, and mustahiq students in the FEBI ZISWAF Lab who were directly involved and understood the object of this study. Data collection techniques are carried out by means of observation, interviews, and documentation. Based on the research results, it can be seen that the management and distribution of zakat fitrah in the ZISWAF FEBI Lab is in accordance with the Al-Qur'an, hadith and the opinion of the Shafi'I school of thought. This can be proven by the distribution of zakat fitrah evenly to all people, especially distribution to orphanages in the Betungan area, Berngkulu. And the distribution of zakat fitrah a few days after Eid al-Fitr. A value of worship that was obtained by the committee, the availability of the ZISWAF FEBI Lab as a place for managing zakat fitrah, and management and distribution time which is free time became an opportunity for the committee. While the obstacles related to the management and distribution of zakat fitrah in the ZISWAF FEBI Lab is the lack of interest of students, especially the Faculty of FEBI in paying zakat fitrah for the ZISWAF FEBI Lab.

Published: March 2024

Kreo Cave is one of Macaca fascicularis habitats in Central Java Province. Kreo Cave has been used as a natural tourist spot in the city of Semarang since 2014. One of the attractions for visitors is the presence of monkeys in the area, especially around the cave. Macaca fascicularis is a type of non-human primate whose distribution is very wide. Macaca fascicularis have an important role for an area, one of which is as a eater of fruits and seeds found in the area, thus helping in the distribution of seeds in order to maintain the balance of nature. The purpose of this research is to describe the types of food eaten and can be used as medicine for Macaca fascicularis. The results showed that Macaca fascicularis in the Kreo Cave Tourism Area ate several plants in the area such as Tamarindus indica, Musa paradisiaca, Psidium guajava, Mangifera indica, Nephelium lappaceum, Leucaena leucocephala, and Morinda citrifolia. When visitors brought bananas, several monkeys came closer and then the visitors threw them at the monkeys. The faster monkey will get the bananas. After the banana is in his hand, Macaca fascicularis takes him to a quiet place or away from their friends.
When to Talk and When to Keep It to yourself? Strategies for Legitimating Managerial Intuitions in An Organisational Context
Authors: Le Gousse Christian , Bouty Isabelle
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study is to explore the strategies deployed by managers in organisations to legitimate their intuitions. Managerial practice is a continual process of emergence and integration of problems and projects, and by which managers navigate a complex world. To do so, they rely partly on their intuitions, whose effectiveness has largely been demonstrated in the literature. However, the rational model is still considered the optimal cognition and decision-making process in organisations. The persistence of the myth of rationality compels managers to deploy strategies to legitimate their intuitions. But these strategies are poorly understood. The aim of this study therefore was to describe them. For this purpose, we collected 191 accounts of episodes where managers legitimated their intuitions. Our analysis of these accounts revealed seven intuition legitimation strategies. Some of these strategies had not previously been identified in the institutional literature (personalisation, transparency, exploration and compound strategy). For others which had already been partly described (rationalisation, manipulation and relational strategy), we show that managers deploy new modes. These results contribute to the knowledge of legitimation strategies from a conceptual point of view. They also shed some light on the mistrust of intuition that still prevails in organisations, despite its importance.
The Preternatural First Premolar: A Ground Section Tooth Case Report
Authors: A. B. Manjunath , Mujib B. R. Ahmed , G J. Chinmaya
Published: March 2024

Ectopic eruption is a developmental disturbance in eruption pattern of permanent dentition most often associated with maxillary first permanent molar (2-6%of general population), mandibular lateral incisors (<1%), maxillary permanent canines (1.5-2%). Ectopic eruption of teeth is a rare phenomenon although cases have been reported in nasal cavity, maxillary sinus, mandible, palate, orbital cavity. Ectopic eruption of mandibular first premolar is a rare condition and there were no discussions in the literature about its eruption in coronoid process. Premature loss of primary second molar and second permanent premolar can lead to disturbed eruption of first premolar. In this case report, we present an ectopic mandibular first premolar at the level of sigmoid notch below the right coronoid process.
Por una sociología política de la percepción. Estilos de atención feminista en tiempos de actitud blasé
Authors: Sabido Ramos Olga
Published: March 2024

Este artículo muestra que la respuesta a cómo se configura aquello que percibimos y lo que queda fuera del campo perceptivo y de la atención, tiene implicaciones políticas y es un ámbito de interés para la sociología contemporánea. El objetivo del artículo es doble. En primer lugar, plantea los alcances de la sociología de la percepción contemporánea, con énfasis en una propuesta de sociología política de la misma. En segundo, busca ofrecer los alcances de la noción de atención feminista en el marco de estas discusiones. Para sostener la idea de una atención feminista, retomo la propuesta analítica de Zerubavel (2015), para quien existen formas políticas que intentan revertir patrones atencionales hegemónicos y ‘dirigen subversivamente nuestra atención’ hacia lo que convencionalmente se desatiende. Un común denominador de la pluralidad de los feminismos contemporáneos consiste en dirigir subversivamente nuestra atención al sufrimiento de las personas (y otras entidades no humanas) con mayores condiciones de vulnerabilidad, ante la indiferencia de los patrones atencionales hegemónicos. Por lo anterior, en este artículo destaco, desde dicho ángulo de lectura, parte de la obra de Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Simone Weil y Rosario Castellanos como estilos de atención feminista que resultan de gran frescura para las discusiones contemporáneas.
Predicting the Dominant Formation Mechanism of Multiplanetary Systems

Published: March 2024

Most, if not all, Sun-like stars host one or more planets, making multiplanetary systems commonplace in our Galaxy. We utilize hundreds of multiplanet simulations to explore the origin of such systems, focusing on their orbital architecture. The first set of simulations assumes in situ assembly of planetary embryos, while the second explores planetary migration. After applying observational biases to the simulations, we compare them to 250+ observed multiplanetary systems, including 13 systems with planets in the habitable zone. For all of the systems, we calculate two of the so-called statistical measures: the mass concentration (S

c
) and orbital spacing (S

s
). After analytic and empirical analyses, we find that the measures are related to first order with a power law:

S

. The in situ systems exhibit steeper power-law relations relative to the migration systems. We show that different formation scenarios cover different regions in the S

diagram with some overlap. Furthermore, we discover that observed systems with S

s
< 30 are likely dominated by the migration scenario, while those with S

s
≥ 30 are likely dominated by the in situ scenario. We apply these criteria to determine that a majority (62%) of observed multiplanetary systems formed via migration, whereas most systems with currently observed habitable planets formed via in situ assembly. This work provides methods of leveraging the statistical measures (S

and S

) to disentangle the formation history of observed multiplanetary systems based on their present-day architectures.
Lightcurve Analysis of a Sample of Asteroids and Comets Observed with the Isaac Newton Telescope

Published: March 2024

We present an analysis of six asteroids and one comet using data from the Wide Field Camera on the Isaac Newton Telescope, La Palma. As part of this work we developed a pipeline to reduce and absolutely calibrate photometry of inactive small bodies. For three of the objects, there was sufficient data to measure their rotation periods. We report rotation periods of (2.7774 ± 0.0004) hr and (3.121 ± 0.003) hr for main belt asteroids (7891) Fuchie and 1999 CP29 respectively, neither of which to our knowledge currently have a well-constrained rotation period. We also measure a rotation period for Jupiter-family comet 169P/NEAT of (8.37 ± 0.04) hr which is consistent with previous works. Colours in various filter combinations (Sloan

Noble Gas Planetology and the Xenon Clouds of Uranus
Authors: Zahnle Kevin
Published: March 2024

Noble gases provide tracers of cosmic provenance that are accessible to a future Uranus atmospheric probe. Argon and krypton are expected to be well mixed on Uranus with respect to H2 and He, although condensation at the winter pole may be possible. The Ar/H2 and Ar/Kr ratios address whether the materials accreted by Uranus resembled the extremely cold materials accreted by Jupiter’s atmosphere, whether they were warmer, like comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko (67P/C-G), or whether Uranus is like neither. Xenon condenses as an ice, probably on methane ice, in Uranus’s upper troposphere. Condensation may complicate the interpretation of Xe/H2, but it also presents an opportunity to collect concentrated xenon samples suitable for measuring isotopes. Solar system Xe tracks three distinct nucleosynthetic xenon reservoirs, one evident in the Sun and in chondritic meteorites, a second in refractory presolar grains, and a third evident in comet 67P/C-G and in Earth’s air. The first and third reservoirs appear to have been captured from different clouds of gas. The two gases do not appear to have been well mixed; moreover, the high 129Xe/132Xe ratio in 67P/C-G implies that the gas was captured before the initial nucleosynthetic complement of 129I (15.7 Myr half-life) had decayed. Xenon’s isotopic peculiarities, if seen in Uranus, could usefully upset our understanding of planetary origins. Krypton’s isotopic anomalies are more subtle and may prove hard to measure. There is a slight chance that neon and helium fractionations can be used to constrain how Uranus acquired its nebular envelope.

Published: March 2024

Strandings provide valuable information about rare marine organisms and their relationship with their environment. In the southern Gulf of México, specifically on the central coast of Campeche, Mexico, strandings of oceanic cetaceans have rarely been recorded, therefore, biological information has also been scarce. One of such rare stranding cases occurred on September 7, 2022, on the coast of Seybaplaya, Campeche. The specimen was identified as a female of Tursiops truncatus with the morphology features of the oceanic ecotype. The carcass was examined shortly after death, and samples for different analyses were obtained fresh. Tissue samples were collected, and some particular observations were made to define the individual's general health status. Results of the analyses revealed damage in the liver, lungs, and kidneys, probably related to 1) the advanced age of the organism (>35 years), and 2) the presence of persistent organic pollutants. Most importantly, this study contributed two new findings, the first record of the parasite Anisakis and the presence of renal calculi in the oceanic ecotype of T. truncatus in the southern Gulf of Mexico.

Published: March 2024

An evaluation of the vertical distribution of chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) levels, as an indicator of phytoplankton biomass, has strong repercussions in any marine ecosystem since it allows evaluating its productive potential and the amount of matter that is available for the higher trophic levels of the pelagic food web. This short communication aims to report the vertical distribution patterns of Chl-a levels and some selected hydrographic parameters during autumn in the Bay of La Paz, the biggest and deepest coastal environment inside the Gulf of California, a site also recognized for its high biodiversity. Two oceanographic research cruises were carried out during November 2014 and 2016. A CTD probe configured with dissolved oxygen and active fluorescence sensors, all pre-calibrated by the manufacturer, was used to acquire high-resolution data along the water column. The results showed two distribution patterns of Chl-a: 1) deep peaks (>60 m depth, with concentrations >6 mg m-3) associated with the bottom at nearshore stations, and 2) maximum concentration peaks associated with the thermocline/pycnocline with concentrations up to 7.40 mg m-3 observed at deep stations. A multivariate statistical analysis confirmed the role played by some physical variables in the distribution patterns described. The results shown in this study complement the previous research and fill in the existing gaps for the transition periods between the warm and the cold.

Published: March 2024

Coastal lagoons are environmentally and naturally dynamic areas crucial for fish reproduction and nursery. Thus, this research aims to evaluate the importance of the species performing their biological processes and development in this ecosystem. For this purpose, a subtropical coastal lagoon in the Gulf of California was taken as a case study, where four sampling seasonal campaigns were performed within the lagoon (internal zones) and the marine environment (external) nearby zones from 2016 to 2017. Diversity, evenness, and dominance indices were determined, and the number of individuals, size, length at first maturity, and reproductive period of each species were analyzed to obtain fish use of the lagoon. This coastal lagoon shows a high abundance of juvenile organisms in the cold season, whereas mature adults were mostly present during the warm season. Environmental variables influencing fish species development and distribution, such as sea surface temperature, salinity, and chlorophyll-a, were detected. To conclude, the subtropical coastal lagoon in the Gulf of California is an important nursery area where reproduction occurs mostly near adjacent areas.

Published: March 2024

The genus Carriola Swinhoe, 1922, which is considered a recent synonym of Arctornis Germar, 1810, is revised on the basis of the wing pattern, the absence of abdominal tymbal organs and the genitalia of both sexes. Diagnostic and faunistic data are provided for the five known species previously classified as Carriola. In addition, four new species are described: C. wittisp. nov. from Borneo, C. polyakovisp. nov., C. shorokhovisp. nov., and C. zolotuhinisp. nov. from the Philippines. Comparative diagnoses, illustrations of external characters, including male and female genitalia, and information on distribution are provided for all species.
An updated infrageneric classification of the pantropical species-rich genus Garcinia L. (Clusiaceae) and some insights into the systematics of New Caledonian species, based on molecular and morphological evidence
Authors: Gaudeul Myriam , Sweeney Patrick , Munzinger Jérôme
Published: March 2024

Garcinia L. is a pantropically distributed genus comprised of at least 250 species of shrubs and trees and has centers of diversity located in Africa/Madagascar, Australasia, and Southeast Asia. The genus is notable due to its extreme diversity of floral form, common presence in lowland tropical rainforests worldwide, and potential pharmacological value. Across its entire geographic range, Garcinia lacks a recent taxonomic revision, with the last genus-level taxonomic treatment of Garcinia conducted over 40 years ago. In order to provide an evolutionary-based framework for a revised infrageneric classification of the genus and to investigate in more detail the systematics of New Caledonian species, we conducted molecular phylogenetic analyses using DNA sequence data for the nuclear ITS region on all samples, and for three chloroplast intergenic spacers (psbM-trnD, trnQ-rps16 and rps16-trnK) on a subset of our overall sampling. Our phylogenetic analyses are the most comprehensive to date for the genus, containing 111 biogeographically and morphologically diverse Garcinia species. The analyses support a broad circumscription of Garcinia, including several previously segregated genera (e.g. Allanblackia, Clusianthemum, Ochrocarpos p.p., Pentaphalangium, Rheedia, and Tripetalum). We recovered nine major clades falling within two major lineages, and we delimit 11 sections. We discuss each of the clades, assign them sectional names, discuss their distinguishing morphological features, compare our taxonomic treatment with the most recent sectional treatment, list representative species, note geographic distribution, and highlight some questions that deserve future investigations. We propose nine new nomenclatural combinations, four new names, and three new lectotypes. In New Caledonia (NC), a total of ten, all endemic, species are recognized and were included in our phylogenetic analyses, with several replicates per species (with the exception of G. virgata and G. urceolata, represented by a single accession each). New Caledonian species were retrieved within three separate clades, respectively including 1) G. balansae; 2) G. comptonii, G. neglecta, G. urceolata, G. virgata; and 3) G. amplexicaulis, G. densiflora, G. pedicellata, G. puat, G. vieillardii. Within NC, the phylogenies did not support the distinction between a putative undescribed species and G. balansae. However, it confirmed the distinction between NC species and both G. vitiensis (found in Fiji and Vanuatu) and G. adinantha (found in Fiji), suggesting that all NC species should be considered as endemics.

Published: March 2024

Objective

To assess whether Lupus Low Disease Activity State (LLDAS) attainment is associated with favorable outcomes in patients with recent onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Methods

Data from a 13-country longitudinal SLE cohort were collected prospectively between 2013 and 2020. An inception cohort was defined based on disease duration < 1 year at enrollment. Patient characteristics between inception and noninception cohorts were compared. Survival analyses were performed to examine the association between LLDAS attainment and damage accrual and flare.

Results

Of the total 4106 patients, 680 (16.6%) were recruited within 1 year of SLE diagnosis (inception cohort). Compared to the noninception cohort, inception cohort patients were significantly younger, had higher disease activity, and used more glucocorticoids, but had less organ damage at enrollment. Significantly fewer inception cohort patients were in LLDAS at enrollment than the noninception cohort (29.6% vs 52.3%,P< 0.001), but three-quarters of both groups achieved LLDAS at least once during follow-up. Limiting analysis only to patients not in LLDAS at enrollment, inception cohort patients were 60% more likely to attain LLDAS (hazard ratio 1.37, 95% CI 1.16-1.61,P< 0.001) than noninception cohort patients and attained LLDAS significantly faster. LLDAS attainment was significantly protective against flare in both the inception and noninception cohorts. A total of 88 (13.6%) inception cohort patients accrued organ damage during a median 2.2 years of follow-up.

Conclusion

LLDAS attainment is protective from flare in recent onset SLE. Significant protection from damage accrual was not observed because of low rates of damage accrual in the first years after SLE diagnosis. (ClinicalTrials.gov:NCT03138941)
Combattre à l’extérieur l’ennemi qui est en soi
Authors: Lachance Jocelyn
Published: March 2024

Si l’objectif recherché par les jeunes militants en faveur de la défense de l’environnement est de libérer la nature de l’empire de l’économie capitaliste, ces derniers semblent animés quotidiennement par des logiques issues de ce même système qu’ils dénoncent. En nous appuyant sur une enquête qualitative et quantitative menée auprès de jeunes engagés dans le domaine de l’environnement, nous verrons que l’ennemi combattu s’est immiscé dans le rapport qu’ils entretiennent au temps et à leur corps. Dans la continuité des enquêtes ethnographiques disponibles, nous interrogerons alors la souffrance des jeunes militants écologistes, dont l’intimité capitaliste révèle des contradictions difficiles, voire impossible à surmonter.
Functional Differencing in Networks
Authors: Bonhomme Stéphane , Dano Kevin
Published: March 2024

Les interactions économiques se produisent souvent dans des réseaux où des agents hétérogènes (tels que des travailleurs ou des entreprises) s’associent et produisent. Cependant, la plupart des approches d’estimation existantes nécessitent que le réseau soit dense, ce qui est en contradiction avec de nombreux réseaux empiriques, ou elles imposent des restrictions sur la forme de l’hétérogénéité et la formation du réseau. Nous montrons comment l’approche des différences fonctionnelles introduite par Bonhomme [2012] dans le contexte des données de panel peut être appliquée dans des environnements de réseau pour dériver des restrictions de moment sur les paramètres du modèle et les effets moyens. Ces restrictions sont valables indépendamment de la forme de l’hétérogénéité et de la densité du réseau. Nous illustrons l’analyse avec des modèles linéaires et non linéaires de données d’employeurs et d’employés appariées, dans l’esprit du modèle introduit par Abowd, Kramarz et Margolis [1999].
Évolution des inégalités de sinistralité au travail en France : les enseignements de l’enquête Sumer 2010-2017
Authors: Havet Nathalie , Penot Alexis
Published: March 2024

Cet article étudie l’évolution des inégalités de sinistralité en France afin de permettre le repérage des leviers d’action disponibles et l’amélioration de la prévention vers certains publics prioritaires. À partir de modélisations économétriques (logit, hurdle model) sur les éditions 2010 et 2017 de l’enquête Sumer, nous examinons notamment si les interdépendances entre expositions aux risques professionnels (contraintes physiques et psychosociales) et les accidents du travail se sont modifiées, tout en contrôlant les changements de structure des emplois. Nous trouvons qu’elles sont restées fortes et stables. La tendance à la hausse des expositions aux risques psychosociaux est donc inquiétante en soi et pour la lutte contre les accidents du travail.
L’évolution de la fréquentation touristique de La Réunion au regard de la détection de ruptures structurelles
Authors: Hoarau Jean-François
Published: March 2024

L’objectif de cet article est de faire un état des lieux sur l’évolution de l’attractivité de l’économie réunionnaise en matière de tourisme international. Pour ce faire, nous nous appuyons sur l’observation et la modélisation économétrique en séries temporelles pour détecter des régimes de croissance potentiels dans la dynamique des entrées touristiques internationales de La Réunion sur la période 1981-2019. Nos résultats montrent que la destination ultramarine française est bloquée depuis le début des années 2000 dans un régime structurel de stagnation, trouvant de multiples explications à la fois exogènes et relevant de défaillances en termes de politiques économiques. Finalement, une stratégie de développement reposant sur une dépendance forte au tourisme international est trop risquée pour constituer un modèle soutenable à moyen et long terme pour ce territoire.
Hemorheological measurements over the shear-thinning regime. In vitro comparative study for hyperglycemia
Authors: Elblbesy Mohamed A. , Kandil Bothaina A.
Published: March 2024

We investigated the shear thinning of normal and diabetic blood experimentally. The shear thinning of the blood has been analyzed using the Power-law model. Over the viscosity time course, the coagulation process of blood samples from diabetic and healthy subjects was observed. The shear thinning behavior of blood samples was examined in the shear rate ranging from 5 s−1 to 222 s−1, and viscosity time-course was studied at a shear rate of 50 s−1. The consistency coefficients were 8.638 ± 0.4860 mPa·s, and 6.658 ± 0.3219 mPa·s for diabetic blood and control, respectively. This difference was statistically significant (p < 0.0001). The parameters extracted from the viscosity–time curve were the time-to-gel point (TGP), maximum clot viscosity (MCV), and final clot viscosity (FCV). The diabetic blood exhibited a significantly high (p < 0.0001) shorter TGP (148.8 ± 6.024 s) than control (199.1 ± 4.865 s). A considerably higher MCV for diabetic blood (26.39 ± 1.451 cP) than the control (17.54 ± 2.324 cP) was reported. FCV for diabetic blood (10.89 ± 1.12 cP) was significantly higher than control (7.6 ± 0.8 cP). The viscosity time course as well as features obtained via the power-law model reflected the flow state of diabetic blood.

Studies on invariant measures of fractional stochastic delay Ginzburg-Landau equations on $ \mathbb{R}^n $
Authors: Lu Hong , Wang Linlin , Zhang Mingji
Published: March 2024

This paper is concerned with invariant measures of fractional stochastic delay Ginzburg-Landau equations on the entire space $ \mathbb{R}^n $. We first derive the uniform estimates and the mean-square uniform smallness of the tails of solutions in corresponding space. Then we deduce the weak compactness of a set of probability distributions of the solutions applying the Ascoli-Arzel$ \grave{a} $. We finally prove the existence of invariant measures by applying Krylov-Bogolyubov's method.
Morphological and molecular evidence of cryptic speciation in sympatric colour morphotypes of Mycale (Carmia) cecilia (Porifera: Poecilosclerida) from the Mexican Pacific
Authors: Castillo-Páez Ana , Llera-Herrera Raúl , Cruz-Barraza José Antonio
Published: March 2024

Identifying cryptic species is pivotal for understanding marine biodiversity and optimizing strategies for its conservation. A robust understanding of poriferan diversity is a complex endeavour. It has also been extremely hampered by the high phenotypic plasticity and the limited number of diagnostic characters. Mycale (Carmia) cecilia has different body colours, even among individuals living together. We tested whether the colour variation could be due to polymorphism, phenotypic plasticity or cryptic speciation. Phylogenetic reconstructions of nuclear and mitochondrial loci were congruent. Individuals of different body colour did not cluster together and had high levels of genetic divergence. Furthermore, the green morphotype clustered in almost all reconstructions with Mycale (C.) phyllophila, as both showed higher gene similarity at the transcriptomic level (public transcriptome). Morphologically, the green individuals consistently showed discrepancies from the red ones. These results suggest that all individuals with the same body colour, either red or green, correspond to the same species, while individuals with different body colours probably belong to different species. These results reveal high levels of morphologic and genetic diversity, which could have important implications for what is known as M. (C.) cecilia and the Mycalidae systematics.

Published: March 2024

Pesquisas sobre Educação em Ciências na América Latina, em especial no Brasil, têm discutido a contextualização de pressupostos político-pedagógicos de Paulo Freire para a educação escolar. Nesses estudos, o processo de obtenção de Temas Geradores tem sido uma possibilidade para a realização de uma práxis transformadora, mas que, com a pandemia, se deparou com alguns obstáculos teórico-metodológicos. Portanto, objetiva-se investigar a compreensão de supervisores que atuam no Programa de Iniciação à Docência, no curso de Licenciatura em Educação do Campo, da Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia, que participaram de um processo formativo remoto, para professores, pautado em Temas Geradores. Para isso foram realizadas entrevistas com os supervisores, que foram gravadas em áudio, transcritas e analisadas via Análise Textual Discursiva, em que emergiram as categorias: Aspectos teórico-metodológicos e tecnológicos para uma formação ético-crítica remota; conhecer a realidade local pelo olhar do outro e transformá-la juntos mesmo distantes. Dentre os resultados, destaca-se que os educadores, por um lado, relataram que as dificuldades de uma práxis transformadora remota estão relacionadas à falta de estrutura e recursos adequados ao ensino remoto e, por outro, as plataformas digitais viabilizaram a dialogicidade e problematização entre sujeitos de diferentes localidades, constituindo-se como ferramentas aliadas ao trabalho remoto com Temas Geradores.

Authors: Fromm Guilherme , Lisboa Joel Victor Reis
Published: March 2024

VoTec (Vocabulário Técnico Online) is a web environment for terminographic management created by Fromm (2007) with the aim of training undergraduate and graduate students for terminographic and translation practices. Since 2007, it has been used in several research and projects aimed at researchers training and monolingual and bilingual reference works production. This paper aims to present an overview of the projects and research carried out through VoTec between 2007 and 2023, as well as of the updates made on its database and query page. To do so, we describe its initial version (Fromm, 2007), the Terminology in Fiction (Fromm, 2011a) and the Linguistics Vocabulary (Fromm & Yamamoto, 2013) projects, as well as the following terminographic works/proposals: Vocabulary of Historical Linguistics (Yamamoto, 2015), Vocabulary of Business and Events Tourism (Carvalho, 2015), Vocabulary of Theology (Cardoso, 2017), Bilingual Vocabulary of Linguistics (Yamamoto, 2020), Vocabulary of Digital Marketing (Mateus, 2022) and Vocabulary of Angiology and Vascular Surgery (Santos, 2023). This panorama highlights: (i) VoTec's productivity for research and projects in the scope of Terminology, Translation, monolingual, bilingual and multilingual Terminography and Pedagogical Terminography; (ii) its continuous updates allow VoTec to follow latest trends and technologies on online reference works, becoming increasingly robust and multimodal, as well as to approach the needs of current users of online reference works; (iii) due to the possibilities of customizing fields and functionalities, VoTec easily adapts to different types of research and is capable of generating terminographic products with different purposes and target audiences.
Benchmarking of Mini-Grids Regulations for Kenya, Lesotho and Mozambique
Authors: Thamae Leboli Zachia
Published: March 2024

This article presents a benchmarking exercise to comparatively analyse the nascent mini-grids regulations of Kenya (The Energy (Mini-Grid) Regulations, March 2022), Lesotho (Mini-grid Power Generation, Distribution and Supply Regulations, January 2021) and Mozambique (Regulations on Access to Energy in Off-Grid Areas, December 2021) using a simplified empirical assessment of attributes and elements of regulatory substance to determine their relative potential effectiveness to fulfil their intended objectives. The results indicate that the overall effectiveness and fulfilment rates of the newly developed mini-grids regulations towards attracting and retaining private sector investments and facilitating universal access, have been determined to be 84% for Kenya, 72% for Lesotho and 80% for Mozambique. Nevertheless, the growth of mini-grids will likely remain limited because encroachment by the main grid remains a serious risk to private mini-grid investors in terms of uncertain security of tenure and possibility of stranded assets. The benchmarked regulations appear to offer some promise to mini-grid investors through co-existence, interconnection or asset transfer, but they simply do not provide any solid and assuring process on how to arrive at a fair compensation or purchase price for the mini-grids business in the case of forced exit, except for Kenya which proposes the depreciated value of the mini-grid assets.

Mahakanadarawa reservoir located in Anuradhapura is one of the major, perennial reservoirs in Sri Lanka, extending over 1,457 ha. It provides livelihood opportunities through fisheries, irrigation for agriculture, and fostering economic growth in the surrounding region. Yet the fisheries-based livelihoods of the Mahakanadarawa reservoir have not been fully assessed. Hence, this study investigated the fishery and fisher profile of the reservoir. Primary data were collected from  eight landing sites. A pre-tested questionnaire was used to interview 72 fishermen using a mixed method. Main variables including social, human, physical, natural, and financial capitals, fishery profile, fish and fisheries-based post-harvesting techniques, market chain analysis, and fisheries management practices, catch per unit effort for the gillnet fishery were calculated. Secondary data including stocking fish fingerlings and species-wise harvesting data for the past 10 years were collected from the district aquaculture extension office (Anuradhapura) of the NAQDA. A secondary study on the length-weight relationship of Oreochromis niloticus along with its condition factor value was performed. It was revealed that O. niloticus had negative allometric fish growth (b = 2.6667) with a condition factor value of 1.9092. The female fish had a higher mean total length compared to the male fish. In the fishing community, 95.83% of males and 4.17% of females were engaged in fishery activities. Mainly gill nets and non-mechanized fiberglass canoes were used for fishing. The average CPUE was 0.000339 kgm-2day-1. A strong positive (r =0.841) correlation was reported for fish stocking and fish production. Fish smoking and sun drying were the common fish processing techniques. The fish supply chain targeted the regional market. A cooperative level co-management system was identified among the reservoir fishing community. The current study discloses the livelihood capitals of the fishing community along with the existing supply chain which can be utilized for the sustainable management strategy of the Mahakanadarawa reservoir in the long run.
Predictors of dissatisfaction with day care chemotherapy services among patients with cancer: A single center retrospective study
Authors: Seshachalam Arun , Rathnam Krishnakumar , Mahathi Konda , Senthil V. J. , Yathev Shakthi , Niraimathi K.
Published: March 2024

Background:

Administration of chemotherapy in the day care is an integral part of medical oncology and involves a complex flow of diverse patients with varied needs.

Objective:

To analyze the factors predicting the overall patient dissatisfaction with the day care chemotherapy services.

Materials and Methods:

Two prospective audits were conducted to record the time and duration of all patient-related activities using structured questionnaires and a patient satisfaction survey, both of which were validated in-house. The audit forms were filled out by the psychologist and the satisfaction surveys were filled out by the patients or the parents in case of pediatric patients (below 18 years old). The audits were conducted between February 1, 2022 and February 20, 2022. Patient satisfaction was scored on a scale of 1 (very poor) to 5 (very good). A psychologist interviewed the key stakeholders daily to document the delays and the reasons for the delays in the Day Care Chemotherapy Unit. The waiting time and delays in chemotherapy preparation or delivery were considered non-value-added activities.

Results:

A total of 257 audit forms were collected. The male-to-female ratio was 1:4. The primary diagnosis was breast cancer in 121 (47%) patients. Seventeen patients (6.6%) had their chemotherapy sessions canceled, due to abnormalities in blood investigations and/or poor general condition. The mean system time for each patient was 5 h 40 min (Standard deviation [SD], 3 h 42 min). The mean oncologist waiting time was 30 min (SD, 17.4) and the bed allotment time was 1 h (SD, 1.04). The mean satisfaction score was 4.6 (SD, 0.3) out of 5. The satisfaction score was lowest for pharmacy services (mean, 3.96; SD, 0.67). Non-value-added activities constituted 41% of the overall system time. The patient-to-nurse ratio was 2.6:1, nurse-to-bed ratio was 1:1.4, and patient-to-bed ratio was 1.8:1. Dissatisfaction (score <5) was noted in all the pediatric patients. The place of residence, payment method, waiting time for the oncologist, and flow of patients was associated with patients’ complaints.

Conclusion:

Dedicated pediatric day care chemotherapy services and streamlining pharmacy services are required. Improving the appointment system of oncologists and increasing the bed strength will help improve patient satisfaction.
Recapitulating the tumor microenvironment in head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma: A narrative review
Authors: Venkatkumar Shruthi , Narayan Madhu , Krishnan Rajkumar
Published: March 2024

Interaction between the tumor microenvironment (TME) and tumor cells can promote disease progression. Understanding the biological make-up of head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is of the utmost necessity. Innovative treatment modalities in recent times aimed at both the tumor cells and the constituents of the TME of the malignancy have resulted in improved patient outcomes. This review deals with the interaction of the TME with HNSCC. For this review, we searched in PubMed and Google Scholar and included articles relating to the TME published in English until September 2021. The pertinent data were extracted from the relevant articles and synthesized into a single review. This review provides a holistic view of the important players at the molecular level of the immune environment of the tumor in HNSCC and how they can be harnessed for targeted therapeutics for patients with head-and-neck cancers.

Authors: Patil Vijay M. , Muthuluri Hemanth , Choudhary Jatin , Parekh Deevyashali , Abraham George , Noronha Vanita , Menon Nandini , Dhumal Sachin , Prabhash Kumar
Published: March 2024

Background:

Nivolumab and pembrolizumab are approved treatment options for platinum-refractory head-and-neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) based on the demonstration of improved outcomes in clinical trials. However, limited data exist on their efficacy in the real-world setting.

Objectives:

To determine the impact of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of platinum-refractory HNSCC and the associated outcomes in a real-world setting.

Materials and Methods:

This was a retrospective study conducted between August 1, 2016, and December 31, 2018 in the Department of Medical Oncology at the Tata Memorial Hospital, a tertiary cancer center in India. We included patients with advanced platinum refractory HNSCC who had been treated with nivolumab. Data regarding adverse events, response, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS) were collected. Survival analysis was performed by the Kaplan–Meier method. Cox regression analysis was used to identify the factors which affected OS.

Results:

A total of 2796 patients qualified for potential treatment with immunotherapy, but only 41 (1.47%) were able to receive it. The dose used was 240 mg in seven patients (17.1%) and 3 mg/kg in the remaining 34 (82.9%). The response rate was 19.5% (n = 8). The median PFS and OS were 2.27 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.51–4.14] and 5.29 months [95% CI, 3.78–11.67], respectively. The 1 year OS was 33.6% (95% CI, 19.5–48.4). Oral cavity tumors were associated with a lower PFS (hazard ratio, 3.86; 95% CI, 1.67–8.92; P = 0.001) and OS (hazard ratio, 2.79; 95% CI, 1.26–6.17; P = 0.001).

Conclusion:

Nivolumab has a good impact on both OS and PFS even in the real-world setting of patients with extensively pretreated platinum-refractory HNSCC similar to what has been reported in the pivotal studies. Among the patients who are treated with nivolumab, those with oral cavity tumors have a worse OS and PFS relative to those of other sites. This hypothesis-generating observation requires further investigation.
