Mutations in the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene occur in approximately 25-45% of new diagnoses of Acute myeloid leukemia. The addition of FLT3 inhibitors to conventional protocols improves overall survival in this condition. Objectives: To assess the incidence of FLT3 gene mutation among patients diagnosed with AML at Walter Cantídio University Hospital; Describe access to FLT3 inhibitors and bone marrow transplantation (BMT), and the overall survival of this group. Methodology: Retrospective evaluation of medical records of patients treated for AML between 2020 and 2022. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method to estimate survival probability. Results: 47 patients were diagnosed with AML during this period, of whom 17% had FLT3+ mutation. 3/8 patients accessed FLT3 inhibitors. The median survival with FLT3+ mutation was 9.1 months vs. 12.9 months in FLT3- (p = 0.196). The overall survival of AML patients was 30.9% at 2 years. 11/47 patients underwent allogeneic BMT. Conclusion: The addition of targeted therapies and BMT may contribute to reduce mortality in AML.  Elderly patients and those not undergoing HSCT have worse outcomes.

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ALOSCT) is curative for several hematological diseases. Unrelated donors and cord blood stem cells are valid options but haploidentical donors (HAPLO) have been considered the main source of stem cells in several countries, partly due to easy access and low cost of the transplantation process. Unfortunately, some patients have antibodies against the HLA epitopes from family haploidentical donors (donor-specific antibodies [DSA]) which are associated with engraftment failure and lethality. A few strategies exist to reduce or eliminate HLA antibodies that bind to these receptors. In this study, we present our experience with DSA desensitization by retrospectively examining a cohort from our hospital program. Between 2012 and 2023, we performed 243 ALOSCTs, of which 142 were from HAPLO and 56 were from unrelated donors. Nine patients (7%) had elevated DSA levels, most of which were female patients and mostly HAPLO. The median fluorescence intensity for these patients was 22,490 (19,000-28,560). Most of these high DSA patients (80%) received a desensitization procedure that involves plasmapheresis, rituximab, and immunoglobulin. The remaining 20% had severe infections during transplantation, and received rituximab monotherapy instead. The median dose of stem cells infused was 6.5 x 10^6 CD34/kg. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) preventative measures for all patients involved post-transplantation cyclophosphamide. Primary graft failure was observed in 45% of DSA elevated patients. For the remaining patients, median granulocyte and platelet engraftment were 14 d (12-16) and 16 d (13-18), respectively. Mortality in patients who did not receive engraftment was 100%. The incidence of mild, chronic GVHD was 15%. In conclusion, the desensitization of DSA in patients provided a 55% rate of engraftment and survival. However, a 45% rate of primary graft failure continued to pose a challenge in patients with DSA and required the development of improved strategies to reduce elevated transplant-related mortality.

Since the first hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) was performed at the Federal University Hospital (Curitiba, PR) in 1979, the number of centers offering this modality of treatment has increased. However, accessing comprehensive HSCT outcomes has become a challenge due to lack of an official Brazilian registry. The partnership between the Brazilian Cellular Therapy and Bone Marrow Transplant Society (SBTMO) and the Center for International Blood and Marrow Research (CIBMTR) was an important milestone in the establishment of the HSCT Brazilian registry (HSCTBR). By using CIBMTR’s Data Back to Center (DBtC) tool, we have gained insights into HSCT outcomes through the Brazilian Summary Slides. While understanding the country's transplant scenario is crucial, it is equally important for each center to assess their own outcomes. In order to help the Brazilian centers with the CIBMTR, the data manager of SBTMO working group has developed a business tool solution to facilitate this important task.

Centralne finansijske institucije su ubrizgavale sve veće količine novca u opticaj kako bi finansijski sistem, u uslovima krize, održao funkcionalnost i stabilnost. Kvantitativnim popuštanjem centralna banka kreira novac koji koristi za kupovinu finansijske imovine bankara i investitora, čime dolazi do emisije novca i ekspanzije novčane mase. Masa novca postepeno izmiče kontroli, a referentne i kamatne stope na depozit kod banaka padaju na nulu ili čak postaju negativne. U tim složenim uslovima stopa inflacije je praktično mirovala, pa se argumentovano moglo doći do zaključka da monetarne mere mogu stimulativno delovati na rast, a da pri tome ne prouzrokuju rast stope inflacije. U funkcionisanju finansijskog sistema i investiranju došlo je do promena, međutim realne investicije, nasuprot finansijskim, i dalje predstavljaju ključnu polugu dugoročnog razvoja. Potrebno ih je aktuelizovati, redefinisati, analizirati i uklopiti u aktuelne finansijske okvire.

Prior to the pandemic itself, regulators around the world emphasized the importance of internal audit, but since COVID-19, it has become a matter of orderliness and quality of the organization's functioning, not just a compliance check box. Until then, it was believed that in that area one gives one's maximum and that it fulfills all the needs of the given organization. The economic crisis caused by the pandemic brought new challenges in the field of internal audit. It incentivised many experts in the field of internal audit, as well as prominent economic experts, to adapt internal audit to the conditions of reduced scope of direct contact. The need for a high-quality implementation of a reliable internal review system has become a primary need. The pandemic has played an important role in changing the way audit professionals and given risks have assumed their responsibilities and created a new blueprint for how internal audit work will function in the future.

Towards Prejudiced Unhomeliness and Corrective Alterity: Ontology, Hermeneutics, and Transgressive Myth in T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land
Authors: Hansali Omar , Brahim Houban
Published: May 2024

With the advent of today’s cross-cultural alterities, the percolating notions of ‘home’, ‘self’, and ‘other’, have undergone radical transformations. This alterity, if at all, has bred a world of changing identities under the indefatigable pretext of a global consciousness. In Totality and Infinity, Emmanuel Levinas has made us leery of forging a reality that never existed; a ‘saraband of cultures’ where nomadic figures become rootless subjects. Amid these palpable alterities, the ‘self’ has embraced the transient tropes of a planetary world and a diasporic consciousness. The question remains: how is it possible to think of postcolonial subjectivity amid a world of mobility and displacement? Or, more precisely, how can we conceive of subjectivity and alterity? Overridden by these questions, this article critiques the tacit roots of the poststructuralist subject whose rootless wandering demeans the primacy of historical rootedness. The subject’s errant rootlessness necessitates a thinking that is neither absolute nor homeless. The postmodern nomad forsakes the facticity of home and forges an otherness that is irreducibly errant. In doing so, the nomad grants the ‘other’ its own myths and ideals. Postcolonial subjectivity, as this article underscores, possesses an indispensable rootedness in the facticity of shared existence. This article re-thinks postcolonial subjectivity in accordance with the hermeneutic horizon of ‘factical rootedness’ in a world of impeding prejudices. While the Western hero represents the ‘other’, the postmodern nomad transcends the land. Both models of subjectivity are culturally and politically suspect. Whereas the colonial subject reduces the ‘other’ to an object of experience, the postmodern nomad does not defy the ‘other’s myths and idols. It so happens that instead of forging an alterity that evinces the self/other dichotomy by embracing an absolute otherness, hermeneutic prejudice encourages an alterity that defies the chauvinistic logic of the subject and the ‘other’s’ claim to absolute estrangement. The discussion on hermeneutic subjectivity calls for a radical return to the soil to which only the figure of the prejudiced subject can uphold. In The Waste Land, the Greek seer Tiresias, defied by Eliot’s prejudiced stance, trespasses the threshold of pure subjectivity and forges a transformative subjectivity that illuminates the corrective alterity of prejudice (Vorurteil).

In today's Christian life, there are many people who claim to believe and have faith but in their daily lives do not show the character and way of life of a believer. The reason for this is that there are still many Christians who do not understand the act of faith, so when facing the difficulties of life, they do not show the attitude and actions of a person of faith. Instead what is shown is worry or extreme actions that are misunderstood as acts of faith. The purpose of this article is to discover the acts of faith in the midst of adversity according to Genesis 22:1-19. Acts of faith are needed to overcome problems. The method used in this study is thematic analysis to present the facts of truth contained in Genesis 22:1-19.

Third, not doubting God.Dalam kehidupan Kristen pada masa kini, banyak orang yang mengaku percaya dan beriman tetapi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari tidak menunjukkan karakter dan cara hidup sebagai orang yang beriman. Penyebabnya karena masih banyak orang Kristen yang belum mengerti tentang tindakan iman, sehingga ketika menghadapi kesukaran hidup, mereka tidak menunjukkan sikap dan tindakan sebagai orang beriman. Sebaliknya yang ditunjukkan adalah kekuatiran atau tindakan-tindakan ekstrim yang di salah pahami sebagai tindakan iman. Penulisan artikel ini bertujuan untuk menemukan tindakan iman di tengah kesukaran menurut Kejadian 22:1-19. Tindakan iman diperlukan untuk mengatasi masalah. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis tematik untuk menyajikan fakta-fakta kebenaran yang terdapat dalam Kejadian 22:1-19.

The problem with this article is related to the importance of studying Jeremiah's obedience in responding to God's vision and mission. Obedience to God's call was a form of Jeremiah's self-image while serving as a prophet in the Kingdom of Judah. The goal is to explain the image of oneself who is obedient in carrying out one's calling. The method used in this article is literature study. The result is that God demands that God's servants obey wholeheartedly in serving His work. Obedient personal character should be the basic model for pastors who serve the congregation. Even though they face serious challenges, they are expected to remain faithful to their calling, just like the obedience of the Prophet Jeremiah. From his youth he was called until his old age, Jeremiah always obeyed God's call. Characters like this can inspire shepherds to serve wholeheartedly for the glory of God himself.Problem dari artikel ini berkaitan dengan pentingnya mengkaji ketaatan Yeremia dalam meresponi visi dan misi Allah. Ketaatan pada panggilan Allah merupakan bentuk citra diri dari Yeremia selama melayani sebagai nabi di Kerajaan Yehuda. Tujuannya menjelaskan citra diri Yeremia yang taat dalam melaksanakan panggilannya. Metode yang digunakan dalam artikel ini adalah studi literatur. Hasilnya bahwa Allah menuntut para hamba Tuhan taat sepenuh hati dalam melayani pekerjaan-Nya. Karakter diri yang taat semestinya menjadi model dasar bagi para gembala yang melayani jemaat. Sekalipun tantangan berat yang dihadapi, mereka diharapkan tetap setia pada panggilannya sama seperti ketaatan Nabi Yeremia. Sejak masa muda hingga masa tuanya, Yeremia senantiasa taat pada panggilan Allah. Karakter seperti ini dapat menginspirasi para gembala untuk melayani sepenuh hati bagi kemuliaan Allah.

Published: May 2024

The reinterpretation of Pentecostal theology has generated criticism that tends towards anti-Pentecostal theological thinking. An examination of the historical context and biblical foundations that form the roots of Pentecostal theology is essential for understanding the historical context and theological messages embedded in it. This paper seeks to examine the Acts chapter 1-2 from the perspective of historiography and theological documents. The research aims to explore the theological values of the Acts chapter 1-2 documents constructed based on historical narratives. Through historiographical and theological approaches, the Pentecostal events recorded in Acts of the Apostles 1-2 are elaborated in-depth. According to the researcher's findings, it is revealed that the Pentecostal events in Acts chapter 1-2 provide impetus for Christians to engage in God's mission, offering a spirit of God's presence and a Christocentric life. The findings in this research also challenge the criticism that Pentecostal theology solely emphasizes spiritual restoration of a personal nature. The presence of Pentecostal theology complements the unity of the body of Christ and enriches the values of Christian theology.Reinterpretasi terhadap teologi Pentakosta menimbulkan kritik yang mengarahkan pada pemikiran anti teologi Pentakosta.

Teenage Pregnancy and its Impact on Learners: Perceptions of Educators in Rural UMkhanyakude District, South Africa and Implications for Action
Authors: Ndlovu Thandiwe Sylvia , Qwab Bongani Reginald , Ojogiwa Oluwaseun Temitope
Published: May 2024

In many low and middle-income nations around the world, teen pregnancy and its effects are a serious public health issue. The soaring rate of teenage pregnancy has attracted voluminous efforts and strategies by the South African government, which is yet to produce a satisfactory modification to the prevailing status. In realisation of the possible consequences of teenage pregnancy to learners, their parents and the nation, this study examines the factors responsible for the soaring rate and the effect of teenage pregnancy on the learners from the perception of educators in UMkhanyakude District, which is one among the poorest district municipalities.  Qualitative research technique that generates non-numeric data was employed to gather comprehensive viewpoints. Fifteen teachers were purposefully selected and interviewed using a semi-structured interview. Retrieved data were synthesised and distilled into themes. It was found that teen pregnancy could be influenced by different factors, and it has become a great concern for educators. Also, the incidences of unwanted pregnancy have different effects on the learners and the educators’ performance. As a result, the ability of educators to deal with pregnant students and provide them with individualised attention suffers. The data demonstrate that teenage pregnancy is a serious problem that requires the attention of many community members. Teenage pregnancy in a learning environment is a source of worry for teachers who are unprepared to handle the changing behaviours of pregnant teenagers at school. Thus, this study offers some recommendations for the efficient prevention of teenage pregnancy and especially to reduce its impact on teenagers’ education.

Hermeneutics utilizes three main approaches, while semiotics concentrates on signs within objects, enabling a holistic and in-depth understanding of the text's context. The research emphasizes the division of spatial characteristics and efficiency in room utilization, indicating that building layouts may not entirely align with ideal spatial concepts. The significance of efficient placement of walls and doors, along with the integration of elements such as windows, is highlighted to create floor plans more in line with the ideal spatial concepts for homes. The research findings assert that the arrangement of living spaces should ideally blend practical functionality with appealing aesthetics, giving top priority to the comfort and health of the inhabitants.

The foundation is a building structure located under the building. The foundation cannot be separated from the building structure because it is a structural part whose function is to transmit the load from the upper structure to the supporting soil layer beneath it to prevent collapse of the soil or settlement of the structural system. This research compares the costs and time required for pit foundation work with site foundations, with the aim of finding out whether the planned costs and implementation time have the same efficiency or not. The purpose of this research is to find out how much bearing capacity there is in the well and site foundations, how much costs are needed to plan the well and site foundations, and how long the implementation time is required. The method used in this research is a comparative study (Comparison). The comparative or comparison method is research that uses the technique of comparing an object with another object. The objects being compared, the comparative method is carried out to compare the similarities and differences of two or more facts and properties of the object being studied. From the calculation analysis, the bearing capacity of the well foundation was obtained at 1950 KN with a cost of IDR 469,046,724 and an implementation time of 78 days. Meanwhile, for the site foundation, the foundation bearing capacity was obtained at 451.11 KN at a cost of IDR 174,598,298 and a construction time of 56 days.

Planning material supplies well is very important in implementing construction projects to ensure smoothness and efficiency. Smoothness includes thorough planning, including ensuring materials are met as planned, while efficiency aims to reduce time and cost. In this study, material planning will be carried out using the Material Requirement planning (MRP) method, using three different lot measurement techniques, namely Lot for Lot (LFL), Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), and Period Order Quantity (POQ). The MRP method is carried out to accurately calculate the amount of material needed to avoid excessive material inventory levels. After the MRP method, the most optimal number of orders and the total cost required for each lot measurement technique are obtained. The results of this study show that the LFL technique produces the optimum number of orders for gelam wood, plywood, reinforcement, bendrat wire, and ready mix concrete. Meanwhile, for materials such as lubricating oil, meranti wood, randu wood, and nails, it is optimal to order using the POQ technique.

Although all resources on a construction project have their respective roles, the availability of labour significantly impacts how far the project moves forward and is completed. According to Kastor and Sirakoulis (2009), calculating the number of workers according to the construction schedule is crucial because, without this consideration, the resulting schedule may not be effective and efficient.  process used for construction project resources to reduce fluctuations (Waluyo & Aditama, 2017). This research compares labour allocation, duration, and labour wage cost budgets under several conditions. These conditions include actual project conditions, planning, and results after levelling using an auto schedule. In project planning, the fluctuations obtained are pretty sharp. After the auto schedule levelling, the manpower no longer experienced overallocation, but fluctuations between weeks were still relatively high. This can happen because the quantity of work and labour in the construction projects under review is not comparable to the effects of project delays. The results obtained from the comparisons analyzed on the X-storey building construction project are that the auto schedule does not change the initial planning duration, which remains at 133 days. There was a disparity of 0.02% in auto schedule planning costs from 1,098,345,000.00. Meanwhile, in actual conditions, the labour cost budget increased by 0.12% from IDR 967,880,000.00 after the auto-schedule levelling process. It can be concluded that before resource levelling is carried out, it is necessary to review project scheduling and accelerate the duration of implementation, specifically if construction projects experience delays and other factors, so as not to cause fluctuations caused by the uneven quantity of work over some time.

Published: May 2024

Transhumanism, which has become a trendy topic today, means ensuring human psychological and physiological transformation by using the opportunities brought by science. In addition, developments in artificial intelligence technologies have accelerated this transformation, and the survival of societies and moving into the future depends on keeping up with these transformations and adapting to digital transformations. This study examines the effects of transhumanism, artificial intelligence, and digital society on social values. For this purpose, a traditional literature review, also known as a narrative literature review, was adopted, and the results were synthesized by establishing a relationship between the relevant research topic and the literature. Accordingly, in the first stage of the study, the main goals and benefits of transhumanism, from the ideas of development and liberation, were mentioned in terms of social values. In the second stage, digital society was criticized in terms of social value and technological determinism about the Society 5.0 philosophy that artificial intelligence has brought about through social transformation. In this respect, the effects that will develop on social values in the context of transhumanize philosophy and artificial intelligence have been critically examined. Various suggestions have been developed in line with the literature review conducted within the scope of this study, the findings obtained from previous research, and the synthesis resulting from the study. Accordingly, while discussing the effects of technological developments on society, it is emphasized that observing social and ethical values is important in maintaining social harmony and balance.
