Breast Cancer Prevention Behaviors Among Women: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Akça Doğan Derya , Serpici Ayşe
Published: August 2024

Introduction: The most commonly encountered type of cancer among women worldwide is breast cancer. Early detection of breast cancer plays a major role in cancer treatment. This study aimed to determine the factors affecting breast cancer prevention behaviors among women working as the academic and administrative staff of a university.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 430 women. The data were collected via an online survey (Google Forms) between May 26, 2022, and July 18, 2022. The questionnaire included a form regarding the descriptive characteristics of individuals and a Scale of Factors Affecting Women’s Breast Cancer Prevention Behaviors.
Results: The women’s mean total Scale of Factors Affecting Women’s Breast Cancer Prevention Behaviors score was 117.02±17.51. Considering that the minimum score that can be obtained on the scale was 33 and the maximum score was 165, it can be interpreted that the breast cancer prevention behaviors of women were above the moderate level. The factors affecting behaviors to prevent breast cancer were age, age at first birth, education level, alcohol consumption, body mass index, menopause, receiving a treatment containing estrogen hormone, radiotherapy to the chest area, having a cancer history, having a family history of breast cancer, receiving education on prevention of breast cancer, and performing breast self-examination.
Conclusion: Although the breast cancer prevention behaviors of the women who participated in this study were above the moderate level, they were not sufficient. To develop positive behaviors to prevent breast cancer, health professionals should identify women’s information needs and provide training and counseling in line with these needs.

Authors: barigou Youssef , AZHARI Fadwa
Published: August 2024

Internal abdominal hernias are an uncommon etiology of intestinal obstruction. They are responsible for 0.2 to 5.8% of small bowel obstructions in published series1. Here, we report the case of a 27-year-old patient who presented to the emergency department with an occlusive syndrome. On examination, the abdomen was tympanically distended, and on imaging, the bowel was distended upstream of a thickening of the last ileal loop. The patient underwent emergency surgery, with exploration revealing an incarcerated bowel loop 40 cm from the ileocecal junction in the retrocecal fossa, indicative of an internal hernia with 4 cm of proximal bowel distension. The loop was successfully reduced and found to be viable.

Authors: Carreño Calderon Alejandra , Blukacz Alice , Cabieses Baltica , Obach Alexandra , Ortega Andrea
Published: August 2024

The presence of children and adolescents in migratory flows is growing in Latin America and the Caribbean. Little is known about migration's effects on these groups' health. This article aims to investigate the evidence available on the access and use of healthcare services by migrant children and adolescents in Latin America and the Caribbean. We seek to explore the role of social determinants of health at different levels in the health conditions of these groups. Also, to identify potential recommendations for healthcare systems and public policy to address them. For this purpose, a narrative review of 52 publications was carried out based on a search of scientific literature in the Web of Science and Google Scholar databases. Five relevant topics were identified: use of emergency care associated with lack of healthcare access, preventive services, and other social determinants of health; exposure to preventable infectious diseases; mental health; sexual and reproductive health; and vaccinations and dental health. We conclude that the evidence shows the need to address the inequities and disadvantages faced by migrant children from a perspective of social determinants of health and policies that consider health as a human right regardless of the migratory status of children and adolescents, as well as that of their parents or primary caregivers.

Genotoxic and antiproliferative effect of Alpinia zerumbet (Zingiberaceae) essential oil in Allium cepa biotest
Authors: Sousa Márcia Aldeany Almeida de , Silva Fernando Souza Lima , Orlanda José Fábio França
Published: August 2024

The species Alpinia zerumbet popularly known as colony is quite abundant in northeastern Brazil and is widely used for medicinal purposes, due to its hypotensive and cardiovascular effect, without, however, due scientific evidence. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the genotoxic and antiproliferative effect of A. zerumbet essential oil, in test systems with Allium cepa. The chemical composition of the essential oil was determined by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The antiproliferative and genotoxic effect was tested in seven treatments with three replications, and five concentrations of essential oil (0.01 to 1.0%) using onion bulbs. Two roots were analyzed from each bulb, with a count of 500 cells per slide/root, totaling 3,000 cells per treatment. The results showed that the main chemical constituents of the essential oil were 1.8 cineole (60.50%) and terpinen-4-ol (23.80%). In the assays with A. cepa, both the mitotic index (MI) and the cellular alteration percentages differed significantly in relation to the control, through the appearance of chromosomal and nuclear aberrations at the concentrations tested, revealing possible harmful effects to human health.

Authors: Eva Nurisma Rena , Khalid Zulvia
Published: August 2024

In today's increasingly competitive business environment, building and maintaining customer loyalty has become a key determining factor in an organization's success and profitability. Customer loyalty generates recurring revenue through repeat purchases and serves as a brand advocate, driving organic growth by attracting new customers. However, cultivating customer loyalty requires a strategic and holistic approach, which includes product quality, brand image, and customer satisfaction. This research empirically explores the impact of product quality characteristics, brand image, and customer satisfaction on Ultra Milk customer loyalty in the Jakarta area. This study uses a quantitative approach to determine the causal relationship between these factors. The data was collected by distributing questionnaires to 100 active Ultra Milk consumers in Jakarta. SPSS 29 software is used for data analysis, specifically multiple linear regression. The findings of this study aim to contribute to a theoretical understanding of the factors that affect consumer loyalty in the dairy industry. Practically, the findings of this study are expected to be the foundation for Ultra Milk companies to develop more effective marketing strategies to increase and maintain customer loyalty. The recommendations given will focus mainly on statistically significant variables in influencing customer loyalty.
Kamu Diplomasisi Bağlamında Dijital Algı Yönetiminin Türkiye’nin Gelişim Politikalarına Olan Etkisi
Authors: Çalış Kurtçu Ayten
Published: August 2024

Cumhuriyet’in 100. yılını geride bırakan ve uluslararası sistemde vazgeçilmez bir bölgesel aktör olan Türkiye, gün geçtikte etki alanını ve stratejik gücünü artırmakta; yeni yüzyılın inşası adına etkin hazırlıklar yaparak dinamik politikalar üretmektedir. Ülke sathında ekonomiden savunma ve güvenlik teknolojilerine, enerjiden hukuka kadar pek çok köklü alanda yeni yüzyılın öncü adımları atılmakta; kamu diplomasisinin en etkili ayağı hâline gelen dijital iletişim sahasında ise hızla kendini yenileyerek zamanın diline uyumlanmanın ciddi bir mücadelesi verilmektedir. Yazılımlar ve uygulamalar boyutuyla arka planı bilişim teknolojilerine, siber dünyaya ve kısmen yapay zekâya bakan bu etkin saha; dijitalizmin dünya dili olduğu, dijital diplomasinin hâkim unsur hâline geldiği günümüz koşullarında kitle iletişim araçlarını ve bilişim teknolojilerini kullanarak algıyı temel amaçlar çerçevesinde yönlendirme prensibiyle işlemektedir. Bu alanın dışında yer alan ve devlet güvenliği açısından gizlilik gerektiren üretim havuzları hariç hemen her politika alanında üretilen içerikler, yürütülen projeler ve kazanımlar da yine dijital algı yönetiminin imbiğinden geçmekte ve hedef kitleye bu kanalla ulaştırılmaktadır. Çalışmada, konu üzerinde ortaya koyulan mevcut görüşler üzerinden derlemeye dayalı bir analiz yapılmış; bölgesel güçten küresel güce dönüşmenin öncü sancılarını yaşayan ve hazırlıklarını yürüten Türkiye’nin yeni hedefleri adına dijital algı yönetimi alanında ne tür bir uygulama haritasını oluşturması gerektiği sorgulanmıştır. Etkili iletişim stratejilerinin ve manipülasyona dayalı iletişimden korunabilmenin odak kabul edildiği analizde, ayrıca dijital iletişim dilinin yarattığı hâkim kültürden ve teknolojik değişim hızının doğurduğu gerilimden doğan psikolojik tahrip olgusuna da sınırlı olarak değinilmiş; toplum sağlığının tesisi açısından sosyal rehabilitasyon anlamında izlenmesi gereken rotanın önemine vurgu yapılmıştır.
The Impact of the Middle Ear Microbiota on Otitis Media Outcomes: A Meta-Analysis of Longitudinal Studies
Authors: Isramilda  , Sukma Sahreny
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Otitis media (OM), a prevalent middle ear inflammation, often involves microbial colonization. The composition of the middle ear microbiota may influence OM outcomes, including recurrence, persistence, and treatment response. This meta-analysis investigated the relationship between the middle ear microbiota and OM outcomes.
Methods: Longitudinal studies published from 2018 to 2024 that explored the middle ear microbiota and OM outcomes were systematically searched in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. Data on study design, participant characteristics, microbiota analysis, and OM outcomes were extracted. The risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. A random-effects model was used to pool effect estimates.
Results: A total of 15 studies (n = 2,540 participants) met the inclusion criteria. The middle ear microbiota diversity was significantly lower in children with recurrent OM compared to those without (standardized mean difference [SMD] = -0.45, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.62 to -0.28, p < 0.001). The presence of specific pathogens, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis, was associated with an increased risk of OM recurrence (odds ratio [OR] 1.75, 95% CI 1.32 to 2.31, p < 0.001). Additionally, microbial dysbiosis was associated with delayed resolution of OM and increased antibiotic treatment failure.
Conclusion: The middle ear microbiota composition significantly impacts OM outcomes. Reduced diversity and specific pathogens are associated with increased OM recurrence. These findings highlight the potential for microbiota-targeted interventions in OM management.

Growth mindset is associated with mastery goals in adulthood
Authors: Combette Léa Tân , Rotgé Jean-Yves , Schmidt Liane
Published: August 2024

Growth mindsets, the belief that intelligence can grow with effort and training, have been associated with the adoption of mastery goals in children and adolescents. However, it is unknown whether these two factors are also correlated in adults. We conducted two online studies among three hundred participants to challenge this association. Results from (1) zero-order correlations, (2) structural equation modeling and (3) out-of-sample predictions converged on the finding that growth mindset was associated with the adoption of mastery goals in mathematics. This association generalized across different ways of measuring mindsets. Taken together the results provided new evidence for the idea that mindset and goal achievement are intrinsically related concepts, which remain associated across different life stages and generalize across populations.
Interseccionalidad en el deporte. Explorando el impacto de la raza, la etnia, la sexualidad y otras identidades sociales en la participación y las experiencias en el deporte
Authors: Papavasiliou Eratw , Boumpouziot Anna
Published: August 2024

A principios de la década de 1960, hubo un creciente interés por parte de la carrera femenina por participar en competencias a nivel nacional, regional e internacional y eso se debió a la coincidencia de varias fuerzas globales. Una de las razones más conocidas fue la influencia del movimiento feminista en Europa y América del Norte, cuyos países han subrayado la urgente necesidad de desarrollar la participación de las mujeres en los deportes y han marcado el desarrollo gradual de la participación de las mujeres tanto a nivel nacional como internacional. Sin embargo, en las últimas décadas, el deporte se ha caracterizado por la interseccionalidad: en los últimos años han comenzado estrategias de inclusión (de ciertas etnias y mujeres) y estrategias de lucha contra la marginación (de mujeres y ciertas etnias). La interseccionalidad postula que múltiples patrones de identidad como el racismo, la homofobia o el sexismo se componen mutuamente (Collins, 1993). Por lo tanto, un enfoque más interdisciplinar nos ayudará a comprender por qué la participación masculina en el deporte es mayor que la femenina.

Relative Effectiveness Of Reading Activities In The Pakistani ESL Context
Authors: Gul Dr. Muhammad Asif , Khan Dr. Rukaiza , Khan Ashir
Published: August 2024

The quality of reading determines the quality of both content and language learning. Reading plays a key role in developing advanced grammatical skill and academic vocabulary necessary for creating written discourse and thus raising learners’ level of language proficiency. However, a substantial body of ESL college learners in Pakistan are reported to be struggling for attaining a satisfactory level in reading proficiency. Notably, the scrutiny of underachievement reveals that indiscriminate insistence on  GTM and consequent failure to actively engage learners for cognitive development are included in major issues. For addressing these problems, a promising alternative is suggested in Task-Based Learning (activities-based learning). A 40-minute task-based class, 3 days a week, was run for four weeks. The sample comprised 111 students of Intermediate Level. The researcher-created videos on reading activities uploaded on his YouTube channel were watched by the learners.[1] Listening to the recorded lecture was followed by a set of activities in which the participants were engaged before they showed their work in the physical classroom. Subsequently, relative effectiveness of ten prevalent reading activities was studied through written tests. Quantitative data analysis was made by SPSS. Furthermore, qualitative data collected through interviews were analyzed by inductive approach thematic analysis.  Mathematical nature of activities, such as Main Idea Formula, Students Created Quizzes & Tests and Cause & Effect Grid made them relatively more effective.

Published: August 2024

The article discusses the ongoing challenges and management of cholera, particularly in Iraq, which is experiencing a resurgence of the disease. The bacteria Vibrio cholerae is the cause of cholera, which is mainly transmitted via tainted food and water. If left untreated, cholera can be fatal and cause severe dehydration. The article highlights the historical context of cholera outbreaks, the factors contributing to its prevalence in impoverished nations, and the specific situation in Iraq, where inadequate sanitation, malnutrition, and the aftermath of conflict exacerbate the problem.Efforts to manage cholera include rapid intervention, infection control, and public awareness campaigns. Organizations like WHO and UNICEF provide resources for cholera management, emphasizing the importance of early detection and treatment. The article also outlines the epidemiology of cholera, noting its endemic presence in various regions and the impact of climate change on outbreaks. Challenges to cholera prevention include poor healthcare infrastructure, political instability, and environmental factors. The article advocates for improved water and sanitation services (WASH), vaccination campaigns, and better healthcare facilities to reduce cholera incidence. It concludes that sustained efforts and funding are necessary to combat cholera effectively and improve health outcomes in affected regions.
Ocean, atmosphere, and cloud quantity on the surface conditions of tidally-locked habitable zone planets
Authors: Bin Alamgir Adnan , Salazar Andrea
Published: August 2024

The study of tidally-locked planets has become an active field of research in recent years due to their interesting properties and abundance in the universe. As one hemisphere of these planets is always facing a star and the other is covered in perpetual darkness, habitable conditions on such extreme worlds were generally considered impossible. However, recent studies have shown that under specific planetary atmospheric and oceanic conditions, temperatures could stay mild enough for the planet to be habitable. In this paper, we created an energy balance model to determine the atmospheric and surface temperatures of tidally-locked worlds as a function of several planetary factors. We hypothesized that these factors—atmospheric and oceanic heat circulation and clouds—are crucial for habitable conditions to exist on these planets. We then assessed what specific set of values of these factors would make habitable conditions possible. We found that global heat transportation cycles act as a major determining factor on the planetary climate and, therefore, habitability. Apart from being in the habitable zone, Earth-like oceans and atmospheric coverage could also be essential for the habitability of tidally-locked planets, which establishes viable criteria in future searches for extraterrestrial life and livable worlds.

Authors: Antchev Hristo
Published: August 2024

This study considers an accumulator battery charging system from a photovoltaic panel with increased open circuit output voltage. The system consists of two series connected converters - step-down converter (buck) and step down/step up Single Ended Inductance Converter (SEPIC). The first converter limits the output voltage of the photovoltaic panel to the allowable range of input voltage variation of the second con- verter. The last converter implements the charging algorithm - constant current charge with voltage limit.

How to use real options in project evaluation
Authors: Boyadzhiev Radostin
Published: August 2024

An option is a financial instrument that gives the opportunity, but not the obligation, to sell or buy a given financial asset, under predetermined conditions. When used for real (tangible) assets, then we are talking about a real option. The present paper will examine the advantages and disadvantages of using real options in the evaluation of investment projects. The analysis will be presented as a com- parison with traditional discounted cash flow methods. Net present valu (NPV) and other discounted cash flow methods are based on the presumption that expectations for the period of the investment project cannot be changed in the future. So once made, the investment decision remains unchanged. In contrast, real options enable these expectations to be viewed as time varying. This allows managers to be more flexible in their investment decisions
Model-based approach for analysis of contrast media regions in contrast enhanced breast model images
Authors: Georgiev Tihomir , Koleva Elena
Published: August 2024

Contrast agents in radiology improve visualisation and iodine-based ones are applied in differ- ent radiology techniques. Energies, used in these techniques, vary in a very wide range. The energies can be as low as 26 kVp in mammography and reach up to 140 - 150 kVp in computed tomography. Dual-energy studies can also be applied. X-ray images of resin phantoms with iodine-based contrast base are taken at different energies and the image pixel values of various regions of interest were measured. Based on the performed measurements, the visual contrast between the studied different areas is calculated and analysed. The obtained data are applied for the estimation of models for the expected pixel values depending on the energies and the contrast agent quantities. These models can be used to describe the real conditions, which differ from the applicable to theoretical calculations ideal conditions.

Published: August 2024

Nesse artigo analisamos, sob uma perspectiva wittgensteiniana, como a apropriação de regras explícitas e implícitas sobre equações do 1º grau são mobilizadas pelos alunos na realização das atividades algébricas. Partimos da ideia de regras explícitas e implícitas, trazendo estas em uma discussão mais ampla seguindo critérios de regras da linguagem no domínio da matemática. Para tanto, essa pesquisa constitui-se por uma abordagem qualitativa, sendo realizada com alunos de 7º ano, que ainda não havia estudado equações do 1º grau. Os resultados indicaram que os alunos conseguiram apropriar-se das regras sem muita dificuldade, pois se familiarizaram com a linguagem algébrica após as explicações da professora durante as aulas. Neste contexto, para ser possível uma apropriação de regras algébricas, os professores precisam de se mobilizar conscientemente mediante utilização de atividades, no sentido de apresentar algumas aplicações e não esperar que os alunos deduzam espontaneamente essas aplicações.
