Evaluating the COVID-19 Lockdown’s Effects on Land Surface Temperature, NO2, and O3 in the Erbil City, Kurdistan Region of Iraq
Authors: Chomani Kaifi
Published: September 2024

Humans’ lifestyles were radically changed after the 2020 COVID-19 epidemic. To mitigate the effects of the disease, most countries have implemented lockout systems. This research aims to provide some recommendations for long-term, sustainable environmental management by analyzing how the COVID-19 lockdown affected nitrogen dioxide (NO2), Ozone (O3), the land surface temperature (LST), and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). Sentinel Hub data and LANDSAT 8 satellite imagery from 2017 to 2022 were used to create land use land cover (LULC), NDVI, and LST maps. Digital thematic maps of NO2 and O3 with figures that demonstrate the correlation between NDVI-LST and LULC-LST were derived using Arc geographic information system 10.8. The spatial analysis showed that LST and LULC are noticeably correlated, in addition to an inverse proportion between NDVI and LST, as well as between NO2 and O3. The lockdown in Erbil drastically decreased NO2 emissions by 54.5% and improved O3 levels by 7.6%. While the NDVI and O3 levels have increased significantly, the LST and NO2 levels have declined considerably due to the shutdown of all industrial and transportation activities during the lockdown. Although COVID-19 caused a lot of damage, the lockdown contributed to healthier conditions of the environment.
The New Emerging of Diabetes Treatment: A Review of Oral Insulin

Published: September 2024

Diabetes patients typically get daily subcutaneous insulin injections; however, due to the discomfort of these injections, patient compliance is difficult to maintain; hence, several delivery methods, including oral administration, are being investigated. The emerging field of oral insulin administration is summarised in this overview. There are many formulations to develop oral insulin, such as PEGylation of insulin, targeting moieties-mediated transport strategy, cell penetrating peptides (cpps)-assisted permeation strategy, smart oral robotics-associated traverse strategy, hydrogels for insulin: microenvironment-responsive hydrogels, and zwitterionic micelles. Future oral insulin development will be resolved by non-erratic absorption and bioavailability. One method to deliver the therapeutic ingredient to the colon, improve insulin bioavailability, and eliminate small intestine absorption variation is to include compatible and appropriate excipients in an insulin tablet, such as an acid-resistant enteric coating, enzyme inhibitor, absorption enhancer, and mucoadhesive polymer.
presença do latim no cemitério da Santa Casa de Caridade
Authors: Vieira Dienifer Feijó , Simioni Taíse , Figueiredo de Sousa Costa Evellyne Patricia
Published: September 2024

Os cemitérios guardam parte de nosso Patrimônio Cultural, sendo um lugar de rememoração na tentativa de imortalizar o morto. No Cemitério da Santa Casa de Caridade (Bagé, RS), há diversos túmulos, com suas arquiteturas, alegorias, diferentes línguas e esculturas, que traduzem um universo de representações socioculturais. Dentre tais línguas, está o latim. A motivação desta pesquisa se deu pela carência de trabalhos deste escopo e pela relevância de se observar a presença do latim nos dias atuais. Assim, o presente trabalho visa observar as regiões do cemitério onde o latim está presente, a nacionalidade e a condição socioeconômica dos enterrados, a arte tumular, a arquitetura funerária e os elementos de religiosidade presentes nos túmulos. A pesquisa é qualitativa, bibliográfica e de campo. Foram feitas visitas ao cemitério, nas quais foram feitos registros fotográficos. Dos 27 túmulos com inscrições em latim, 23 estão na parte mais antiga, que contém edificações luxuosas e acadêmicas. A maioria deles são de baixa elevação, de estilo art déco, de arquitetura acadêmica e pertencem a famílias portuguesas e espanholas de fé cristã. O latim, portanto, predomina nos túmulos das famílias de ascendência europeia, cristãs e de maior poder aquisitivo. Isso provavelmente ocorre pelo acesso maior à informação e às artes, pelo apreço a estilos eruditos europeus, pela tradição do emprego do latim na Igreja Católica, de maneira a reafirmar a fé cristã da família, e pelo desejo de perpetuar o status socioeconômico com edificações tumulares suntuosas e com distinção ao mostrar conhecimento de latim.

Esse trabalho de Xosé Ramón Freixeiro Mato, publicado em 2023, apresenta a situação da língua galega na Comunidade Autônoma da Galiza, que pertence administrativamente ao Estado Espanhol. Sua crítica fundamenta-se não apenas na contemporaneidade, mas estrutura sua argumentação na constituição histórica da língua galega como também do povo da Galiza. Desse modo, a estrela-guia que consta no título é a língua galega de passado grandioso, porém, que padece de incertezas futuras quanto à sua sobrevivência. O livro está dividido em sete capítulos temáticos, além da introdução e das conclusões. Cada um desses capítulos aborda uma peça da engrenagem da argumentação montada por Freixeiro Mato sobre a relevância da defesa da língua galega na Galiza. É apresentado o percurso histórico do galego desde o seu surgimento, passando por sua fase de glória na Idade Média sendo língua do Reino da Galiza, sua submissão à Coroa de Castela e a atual situação como Comunidade Autônoma no Reino da Espanha.
Por qué antropólogos y odontólogos deberían trabajar en coordinación para mejorar la salud bucodental (en América Latina)
Authors: Fornai Cinzia
Published: September 2024

Varios aspectos del sistema craneomandibular deben ser investigados  para profundizar nuestra comprensión de las causas próximas y evolutivas de las enfermedades orales más comunes en poblaciones humanas. Las poblaciones de América Central y América del Sur se ven afectadas por una elevada prevalencia de caries y, en general, padecen una salud bucodental deficiente. Por otra parte, tienen un acceso limitado a la atención sanitaria profesional, lo que hace aún más urgente la necesidad de centrar la investigación en estas regiones. 
Dada la naturaleza multifactorial de los determinantes que subyacen a las enfermedades bucodentales, y considerando la complejidad del sistema estomatognático, el trabajo interdisciplinar entre antropólogos, odontólogos, especialistas en dolor orofacial, entre otros, parece ser el más adecuado para llevar a cabo investigaciones que aborden las enfermedades bucodentales más comunes y sus posibles efectos funcionales y sociales en el individuo.
Antropólogos y odontólogos comparten un interés común en el sistema craneomandibular, su variación morfológica y sus dolencias, y tradicionalmente han utilizado métodos similares para su investigación. Combinando los diferentes conjuntos de habilidades que poseen, estos profesionales podrían trabajar sinérgicamente para generar conocimientos relevantes que apoyen a las partes interesadas y puedan llegar a los responsables políticos de la atención de la salud bucodental. Su estrecha colaboración ayudaría a identificar los problemas de salud más relevantes, recopilar datos epidemiológicos y comprender sus implicaciones en el bienestar individual, respondiendo así a las necesidades de las poblaciones de estudio y cumpliendo la normativa ética local.

Published: September 2024

This study aims to identify the performance factors and improvement measures of the minimum wage exclution system for people with disabilities working in social enterprises for people with disabilities after the introduction of work ability evaluation for exemption from minimum wage application, and ultimately provide directions for improving the quality of employment and leading a humanized life for people with severe disabilities. To this end, structured questions for Delphi surveys were derived based on literature studies such as domestic and foreign laws, academic papers, and research reports, and content validity was secured through consultation with seven experts with a high understanding of vocational rehabilitation facilities for the disabled and the minimum wage exclusion system. The Delphi survey was conducted twice with a total of 30 academic and field experts related to vocational rehabilitation, and the results of the Delphi survey were analyzed using the SPSS 25.0 program and the Excel program. First, in terms of the performance factors of the minimum wage exclusion system for social enterprises for the disabled, it was found that the social responsibility factor, identity factor, image factor, and wage level management factor contributed to the performance of the business owners, while the psychological factor, social factor, personal factor, stigma reduction factor, employment opportunity factor, social participation factor, and working condition discrimination factor contributed to the performance of the disabled. Second, measures to improve the minimum wage exclusion system for the disabled in vocational rehabilitation facilities need to be improved in terms of minimum wage preservation factors, social security-linked factors, purchasing power factors, job security factors, job security factors, evaluation update cycle factors, evaluation tool factors, evaluation result analysis factors, evaluation result analysis factors, evaluation results application factors, institutional discrimination resolution factors, delivery system adequacy factors, regulations appropriateness factors, supplementary system construction factors, conditional welfare factors, introduction of vocational rehabilitation facility certification systems, market support factors, and solidarity economic factors.

The findings reveal that price does not significantly influence customer satisfaction; however, service quality exhibits a notable positive effect. Additionally, the combined effect of price and service quality is positive and statistically significant, indicating that while price alone is not a determinant of satisfaction, service quality is crucial.
These results suggest that businesses like Damang Classic should prioritize enhancing service quality to improve customer satisfaction, as it plays a more critical role than pricing. Understanding this dynamic can help management focus resources effectively.
This research contributes to the literature by highlighting the distinct roles of price and service quality in customer satisfaction within the context of Damang Classic, offering insights that can inform strategic decisions in service-oriented industries.
Exploring the impact of economic growth and sources of electricity production in India: New insights from sectoral analysis using NARDL approach
Authors: Ahmar Uddin Mohammed , Geetha C. , Khan Mohammad Aamir , Srividhya K. , Duraisamy Pachiyappan
Published: September 2024

This study aims to explore the asymmetric impact of renewable energy on the sectoral output of the Indian economy by analyzing the time series data from 1971 to 2019. The nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag approach (NARDL) is employed to examine the short- and long-run relationships between the variables. Most studies focus on economic growth, ignoring sectoral dynamics. The result shows that the sectoral output shows a differential dynamism with respect to the type of energy source. For instance, agricultural output responds positively to the positive shock in renewable energy, whereas industry and service output behave otherwise. Since the latter sectors depend heavily on non-renewable energy sources, they behave positively towards them. Especially, electricity produced from non-renewable energy sources significantly influences service sector output. However, growing evidence across the world is portraying the strong relationship between the growth of renewable energy sources and economic growth. However sectoral dynamism is crucial to frame specific policies. In this regard, the present paper’s result indicates that policies related to promoting renewable energy sources will significantly influence sectoral output in the long run in India.

Published: September 2024

Ultrasonographic renal length-to-aorta ratio is an ideal reflection of renal health in dogs. Earlier studies have highlighted the need for breed-specific reference intervals for this parameter. The aim of this study was to establish a breed-specific reference interval of kidney length to aorta ratio (KL:Ao) in Chippiparai dogs, a breed of Indian sighthounds. The KL:Ao ratio was recorded in 45 Chippiparai dogs, classified into 3 age groups. A narrow breed specific range of 7.07 to 7.74 was arrived at for adult Chippiparai dogs, and a strong relationship between age and body weight and KL:Ao was observed using regression analysis. These findings can be extrapolated and utilized by other sighthounds.

William Curtis Farabee
Authors: Whitaker James Andrew
Published: September 2024

There has been very little written about the anthropological career of William Curtis Farabee (1865–1925). The primary aim of this article is to fill this lacuna in the literature. Farabee was one of the first anthropologists from the United States to undertake extensive ethnographic explorations in South America. He undertook research with many Amazonian societies in Peru, Brazil, and Guyana. This article considers his explorations and writings within the institutional and theoretical context of the “museum period” in the history of anthropology. Farabee was a transitional figure between the anthropology of the museum and that of the academic department of anthropology. His writings articulate an interest in detailed descriptions of material culture with broader interests in ethnographic, linguistic, and physical anthropology. His theoretical writings regarding environmental influence evince an early and inchoate conception of ecological anthropology.

Published: September 2024

Pendahuluan: Neuropati diabetika merupakan salah satu komplikasi mikrovaskular diabetes melitus (DM) yang paling sering ditemukan di praktik layanan primer. Menurut International Diabetes Federation (IDF), kurang dari satu pertiga dokter dapat mengenali tanda-tanda neuropati diabetika. Oleh karena itu, tingkat pengetahuan dokter mengenai neuropati diabetika yang akan berpraktik di fasilitas layanan kesehatan primer merupakan suatu hal yang penting untuk dibahas dan ditelusuri.
Metode: Tingkat pengetahuan diukur menggunakan sebuah kuesioner yang dirancang oleh peneliti dan diisi secara daring oleh responden. Kuesioner divalidasi oleh dua dokter spesialis neurologi dan pilot study dilakukan untuk menguji reliabilitas kuesioner. Perbaikan kuesioner dilakukan sesuai dengan masukan dan saran dari kedua peninjau kuesioner dan juga dari hasil pilot study.
Hasil: Didapatkan 53,8% responden memiliki tingkat pengetahuan yang baik mengenai neuropati diabetika. Median nilai yang diperoleh responden adalah 80. Hasil analisis nonparametrik menggunakan uji Mann-Whiteney U untuk mengetahui hubungan antara tahap internship, jenis kelamin, memiliki kerabat atau anggota keluarga yang mengetahui atau memiliki riwayat neuropati diabetika, dan pengalaman mengikuti pelatihan atau seminar mengenai neuropati diabetika terhadap tingkat pengetahuan dokter lulusan baru menghasilkan nilai p sebesar 0,302, 0,678, 0,801, dan 0,951 secara berurutan. Hasil uji Kruskal Wallis untuk hubungan mengetahui tahun kelulusan terhadap tingkat pengetahuan neuropati diabetika menghasilkan nilai p sebesar 0,629.
Simpulan: Mayoritas responden memiliki tingkat pengetahuan yang baik mengenai neuropati diabetika dan faktor-faktor yang dianalisis pada studi ini tidak berhubungan dengan tingkat pengetahuan responden mengenai neuropati diabetika.

Pendahuluan: Sindrom Gitelman merupakan kondisi tubulopati kehilangan garam yang ditandai dengan alkalosis metabolik dengan hipokalemia, hipomagnesemia, dan hipokalsiuria. Kasus sindrom Gitelman pada kehamilan jarang dipublikasikan hingga saat ini.
Laporan Kasus: Seorang wanita berusia 23 tahun pada kehamilan ketiga dengan usia gestasi 21 minggu datang dengan kelemahan pada kedua tungkai dan kekakuan pada kedua tangan, kemudian terdiagnosis dengan sindrom Gitelman (SG). Pasien memiliki riwayat emesis gravidarum dan defek septum atrium (DSA). Pada pemeriksaan neurologis didapatkan penurunan kekuatan motorik pada kedua tungkai. Pemeriksaan elektrolit menunjukkan adanya hiponatremia, hipokalemia, hipokalsemia, dan hipomagnesemia, serta terdapat peningkatan kadar natrium, kalium, dan klorida pada urin. Ekokardiografi menunjukkan adanya defek septum atrium sekundum dengan left-to-right shunt. Selama perawatan, pasien diberikan natrium, kalium, kalsium, dan magnesium secara intravena yang kemudian dilanjutkan secara oral. Pasien kemudian melahirkan bayi yang sehat dan tidak ditemukan komplikasi selama dan sesudah persalinan. Dua bulan setelah persalinan, pasien kontrol ke poliklinik penyakit dalam dan kondisinya stabil dengan dosis suplementasi kalium yang diturunkan.
Diskusi: Pasien dengan SG mengalami gangguan dalam kon-servasi kadar kalium dan magnesium. Kondisi ini dapat diperburuk dengan perubahan fisiologis yang terjadi selama kehamilan, meliputi ekspansi volume serta meningkatnya aliran darah ke ginjal dan laju filtrasi glomerulus, yang berkontribusi terhadap hipo-kalemia. Selain itu, terdapat peningkatan kebutuhan kalium dan magnesium pada populasi ibu hamil. Efek protektif yang menurun juga semakin memperburuk penurunan kadar kalium dan magnesium.
Simpulan: Diagnosis dan tatalaksana yang baik dapat membantu ibu hamil dengan SG dan DSA menjalani persalinan dengan lancar dan melahirkan bayi yang sehat.

Introduction: Cataract surgery technologies continue to manage complications. Current surgical methods for secondary Intra Ocular Lens (IOL) include Anterior Chamber IOL, Iris Claw IOL, and sutured and sutureless techniques of Scleral Fixation IOL (SFIOL). The Yamane technique of SFIOL is a novel, relatively safe, and easy method of sutureless SFIOL. This study aims to describe and analyze the surgical outcomes and complications of the Yamane IOL implantation technique.
Methods: A retrospective study of 21 eyes of 21 patients that underwent scleral fixation of IOL by the Yamane technique was observed. Demographic data, primary indications for surgery, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP) pre-operative and post-operative during follow-up, and complications were also analyzed.
Results: Twenty-one patients were included, with an average age of 52.57±23.41 years old. Eleven eyes with lens subluxation (52.4%), 9 eyes with aphakia (42.9%), and 1 eye with phacodonesis (4.8%) were indicated for the Yamane technique of SFIOL in this study. The preoperative mean BCVA was 2.2±0.9 LogMAR, while the 1-month postoperative BCVA was 1.1±0.9 LogMAR. The mean preoperative IOP was 15.81±6.7 mmHg, and the 1-month postoperative IOP was 16.00±7.7 mmHg. This study found that there was a significant improvement in BCVA with p=0.00 (p<0.05), and there was no significant postoperative IOP spike with p=0.88 (p<0.05). The main complications observed in this study were corneal edema (23.8%) and postoperative IOP spike (14,3%).
Conclusion: The Yamane SFIOL technique is a relatively safe approach for the surgical management of patients who need secondary IOL implantation with significantly improved visual function without significant complications.

Objetivo: Analisar o impacto da pandemia da COVID-19 na saúde mental dos profissionais da atenção primária. Métodos: Revisão integrativa da literatura realizada nas bases de dados SciELO, BVS, Medline, LILACS e Periódicos CAPES. Resultados: Foram selecionados 17 estudos, de 11 países diferentes, sendo 2 pesquisas brasileiras.Verificou-se alta prevalência de resultados adversos de saúde mental nos trabalhadores da Atenção Primária (APS), sendo que a ansiedade, depressão, estresse e burnout foram os mais estudados. Esses profissionais foram submetidos a altas cargas de atividades, falta de EPI’s e desvalorização profissional. Ser do sexo feminino, baixa experiência profissional e história de transtornos mentais foram fatores de risco para o adoecimento psíquico. Resiliência profissional, autopercepção de eficácia profissional, experiência em situações de epidemia e confiança na organização foram fatores de proteção. Evidências demonstram que, se comparados aos trabalhadores da atenção terciária, os profissionais da APS têm mais riscos de adoecimento mental. Considerações finais: Ainda carecem pesquisas sobre o contexto laboral dos trabalhadores da APS, especificamente no período de combate à pandemia, que se configurou em agravamento das condições de saúde mental desses trabalhadores.

Objectives:

Camylofin is widely used in combination with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as paracetamol and nimesulide, but there is a dearth of information about its pharmacokinetic properties. Here, we assessed the pharmacokinetic parameters of a fixed-dose combination of camylofin 50 mg and paracetamol 325 mg in healthy volunteers.

Materials and Methods:

Eligible participants were admitted for fasting and fed visits, where 5 mL of blood was collected at multiple time points over 8 h. Serum concentrations of both drugs were analysed using the method of liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. Key primary pharmacokinetic outcome measures that were analysed were maximum concentration (Cmax), time to maximum concentration (tmax), area under the curve (AUC0-8hrs), elimination constant (Kel), volume of distribution (Vd), clearance (CL) and half-life (t1/2).

Results:

Pharmacokinetic analysis was performed for 12 enrolled participants in both fasting and fed states. Mean (standard deviation [SD]) t1/2 (h) of camylofin was 1.16 (0.53) and 1.68 (0.55) in the states of fasting and fed, respectively, of paracetamol was 2.3 (0.35) in both states. Mean (SD) absolute Vd (L) was 32123.3 (15630.9) and 32928 (14734.4) for camylofin and 93.27 (31.73) and 87.61 (15.48) for paracetamol, respectively. Mean (SD) CL (L/hr) in the two states was 22958.33 (14314) and 14213 (7433.46) for camylofin and 28.07 (7.3) and 26.68 (4.86) for paracetamol, respectively. Mean (SD) Kel was 0.69 (0.26) and 0.46 (0.17) for camylofin, 0.31 (0.04), and 0.30 (0.04) for paracetamol, respectively.

Conclusion:

In the absence of other studies on pharmacokinetic parameters, findings from the current study may be considered as a reference for future research and development on camylofin.
Rosai-Dorfman sphenoorbital histiocytosis with intraparenchymal invasion: Do we have to consider this skull base pathology as a malignant disease?

Published: September 2024

Background:

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare type of histiocytosis that can manifest with diverse symptoms. It usually presents with systemic involvement, and only a few cases have been reported at the level of the skull base. RDD typically follows a benign course during the progression of the disease. In this particular case reported, after the skull base invasion, the disease started to infiltrate the brain parenchyma. Our objective for this case report was to present this particular progression pattern and the nuances of its surgical treatment. In addition, a revision of the current literature was performed about skull base RDD with intracranial invasion and brain parenchyma infiltration not previously described.

Case Description:

We are presenting the case study of a 57-year-old male patient who was experiencing severe headaches and an increase in volume in the right fronto-orbital region. On clinical examination, no neurologic clinical symptoms were observed. Contrast computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a tumor mass that affected the right orbit, frontal paranasal sinus, greater sphenoid wing, and right frontal lobe with moderate adjacent brain edema. The patient underwent surgery using an extended pterional approach with intracranial, orbital decompression, and frontal sinus cranialization, accompanied by frontal lobe tumor resection. Neuropathologic diagnosis revealed a Rosai-Dorfman histiocytosis disease.

Conclusion:

The etiopathogenesis of RDD is still not completely understood. The current literature considers this disease to have a predominantly benign course. Nevertheless, as we have shown in this case, it may, in some cases, present direct parenchymal invasion. We consider that prompt surgical treatment should be ideal to avoid the local and systemic progression of the disease.
Effects of increasing honeybee densities on sunflower yield components

Domesticated honeybee management (Apis mellifera) could be a useful tool to supplement wild pollinators and increase crop productivity. However, it is necessary to know the optimal hive density for each particular crop. Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is the third most produced oil seed crop in the world and is dependent on insect pollination to increase the number of seeds and oil content. We proposed quantifying the H. annuus dependency to pollinators and assessing the optimal hive density of honeybees to increase sunflower productivity in 2 ha plots immersed in an extensive soybean matrix in Argentina. We set up a field experiment of five plots with a different number of hives each one (0, 5, 10, 15, 20), assessed fruit set and crop yield of flower heads open and excluded from pollinators and insect abundance. The set and crop yield increased in the heads of open flowers. The crop yield did not present a linear response to the density of the hive, although there could be a positive effect of the intermediate densities. Crop yields were not explained by the abundance of the two most frequently pollinator species, Astylus atromaculatus (Coleoptera) and Apis mellifera, suggesting that sunflower productivity was limited by resources other than pollen (e.g., the low abundance of rains). Drought conditions could have limited the response of the crop to hive addition and also influenced the high A. atromaculatus abundance, which could play a pollinator role in this system. More repetitions (plots and years) are needed to get these results more robust.
Is IT Changing the World? Conceptions of Causality for Information Systems Theorizing
Authors: Markus M. Lynne , Rowe Frantz
Published: September 2024

Whatever answer one gives to the question “Is information technology changing the world?,” the answer contains reasoning about causality. Causal reasoning is central to IS theorizing. This paper focuses on the concept of causal structure, defined by Markus and Robey (1988) as a theorist’s assumptions about causal influences in IS phenomena, and proposes a framework of causal structure, warranted by philosophy and social theory, specialized for the needs of Information Systems scholars. The three dimensions of the framework concern the theorist’s views about the reality and meaning of causation (causal ontology), about that which is changed in causation (causal trajectory), and about the role of humans and/or technology in bringing about the change (causal autonomy). On each dimension, mutually exclusive alternative positions are described, backed by authoritative warrants, and illustrated with IS examples. The framework aims to offer useful insights into the nature of IS theory and the conundrum of theoretical contribution.
