Vocabulary is the most important component of language knowledge; it is one of the best predictors of language performance. This descriptive one-group quasi-experimental action research aimed to determine the effectiveness of Do It Yourself (DIY) Word Notebook in improving the Vocabulary of Grade 10 students of a national high school in Zambales, Philippines. A total of 40 students served as the participants of the study. A pretest/posttest served as the main instrument in gathering data which involved the measurement of the students’ vocabulary skills in terms of Definition, Spelling, Parts of Speech, Synonym, Antonym, and Word usage. Results revealed that before the intervention, the level of vocabulary of the students is Fairly Satisfactory. In particular, the students are Fairly Satisfactory in spelling, word usage and synonym while they Did Not Meet Expectations in parts of speech and definition. After exposure to the intervention, the class improved to Satisfactory based from the post-test mean score of 32.95. In particular, the students are Very Satisfactory in spelling and parts of speech, Satisfactory in definition and synonym, and Fairly Satisfactory in word usage and antonym. It can be concluded that there is a significant difference in the vocabulary of the students before and after the implementation of the DIY Vocabulary Notebook. Likewise, there is a significant difference in the students’ vocabulary when grouped according to language use at home, ethnicity and mother’s highest educational attainment. The use of DIY Vocabulary Notebook is hereby recommended to be used in English classes.

Published: September 2023

Multiple Sclerosis is an extremely frequent non-traumatic debilitating illness affecting youngsters. Multiple Sclerosis is becoming more common across the globe, as is the disease's economic effect. The fundamental etiology of Multiple Sclerosis plus the processes causing this rise remain unknown, yet complicated interactions between genes and the environment virtually definitely play an important part. The major source of injury in MS is swelling of the brain and spinal cord. The exact ingredients that cause this type of inflammation are unclear. According to research, environmental, genetic, and viral causes may all have a role in the onset of MS. MS statistics suggests that reduced blood vitamin D levels, cigarette smoking, obesity in kids, and Epstein-Barr virus infection all have a role in disease progression. Because of advancements in diagnostic procedures and standards, patients with MS can now be identified at a younger age. Along with this, the quantity, effectiveness, and danger of MS therapies have risen tremendously. The prospect of a 'pre-symptomatic MS' diagnosis, which might lead to the investigation of possible preventative therapies. MS epidemiological studies, probable aetiological variables, and pathogenesis are all reviewed throughout this detailed study prior proceeding on to therapeutic elements of MS diagnostic and therapy. Recent encouraging investigations of condition-modifying medications in progressive form of MS offer persons alongside severe MS the hope of slowing the progression of the disease while keeping residual functioning. It turns out that drugs appear to work at several stages of the illness's progression puts challenge on the traditional two-stage model of MS's inherent course.

Published: September 2023

The term "microbiota" refers to the complex, delicately balanced ecological community that makes up the human body and contains symbiotic and pathogenic bacteria. The gut-brain-immune axis, a bidirectional communication route, is a vital component of this system of living beings in integrating the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. Despite the wealth of research in human medicine, the relationship between unusual behavioural phenotypes and changes in animals gut microbiota has received little attention in the literature in the past. The scientific word for conventional animal healthcare is ethno veterinary medicine, which offers affordable options to allopathic medications. In this research work we prepared a remedy (Digestovet bolus) effective for all gastrointestinal issues, including anorexia, indigestion, off-feed, a lack of ruminating, impaction, etc. Digestovet Bolus is traditionally given orally to working bullocks to treat anorexia and off-feed. It works well for digestive disorders, diarrhoea, and impaction, lack of rumination, repeated breeding/reproductive issues, and internal parasites. It is additionally utilized as an immunity booster to stave off illnesses including blue tongue, fever, mastitis, and hemorrhagic sepsis.

Introdução: A Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de Goiás (SES-GO), Brasil, elaborou um programa de reabilitação voltado para a Atenção Primária e tem por finalidade a recuperação dos usuários que apresentam consequências funcionais após a COVID-19. Por conseguinte, as avaliações dos protocolos propostos são importantes para subsidiar ações e políticas públicas de saúde para a oferta dos serviços de reabilitação à população. Objetivo: Compreender as percepções dos usuários do programa de reabilitação da Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de Goiás quanto aos serviços de acompanhamento oferecidos para sua recuperação pós-COVID-19 na Atenção Primária à Saúde. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa. Realizou-se a aplicação de uma pergunta norteadora a 18 usuários, de duas cidades da Região Metropolitana de Goiânia. As respostas foram redigidas pela pesquisadora e tratadas com a análise de conteúdo temática.  Resultados: Da análise, surgiram duas categorias temáticas, quais sejam: percepções dos efeitos na funcionalidade e; percepções dos efeitos terapêuticos atribuídas pelos usuários após o programa de reabilitação idealizado pela Secretaria de Saúde do Estado de Goiás. A melhora física potencializa a sua participação no convívio social, o que proporciona benefícios nos seus aspectos emocionais. As diferenças foram perceptíveis pelos usuários em comparação com os momentos em que não tinham realizado nenhum procedimento terapêutico antes da proposta idealizada pela SES-GO. A autoeficácia foi outro elemento latente nas respostas dos usuários referente à implementação do programa. A satisfação dos usuários com a proposta é externada pelos usuários, sendo um fator essencial para evidenciar a sua qualidade. Considerações finais: O programa de reabilitação pode ser um aliado imprescindível ao levar em consideração os aspectos do modelo biopsicossocial na recuperação dos usuários.

Published: September 2023

A Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) atende às necessidades individuais e coletivas da sua população adstrita. Dessa forma, considera-se que a equipe de saúde acolhe as mulheres, que sofreram violência. Contudo, os estudos mostram a fragilidade nos atendimentos a esse grupo. Nesse sentido, questiona-se, especificamente, a atuação dos enfermeiros. Eles são capazes de reconhecer, de maneira precoce, as usuárias do serviço de saúde, que sofrem, ou que correm risco de sofrer violência? Denunciariam a violência contra mulheres atendidas, na unidade de saúde? Existe um ditado, muito forte no Brasil, que diz: “em briga de marido e mulher, não se mete a colher”. Será que esta crença interfere nas ações dos enfermeiros da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS)? Diante deste contexto, a pergunta desta investigação é: “Como o enfermeiro atua perante a violência contra a mulher na APS?” Objetivo: Identificar e sistematizar a atuação do enfermeiro perante a violência contra a mulher na APS. Método: Utilizou-se da Revisão Integrativa, buscando nas bases de dados LILACS e BDENF, no período entre 2011 a 2021, e nos idiomas inglês e português, artigos que respondiam à pergunta de pesquisa. Resultados: Os encaminhamentos para serviços especializados, serviço social e de psicologia, construção do vínculo, acolhimento e empatia são atuações promovidas pelos enfermeiros na APS. Considerações Finais:  Considera-se que a revisão integrativa alcançou os objetivos propostos, uma vez que foi possível identificar e sistematizar a atuação do enfermeiro. Este profissional possui o papel de coordenador e, por sua vez, integrador da equipe. É importante que o mesmo elabore atividades de capacitação, atue com uma visão holística e multiprofissional, devido à alta complexidade da violência doméstica contra a mulher.
Thermal characterization by dilatometry tests of a ferritic-bainitic (FB) steel for automotive application
Authors: Ramírez Matías Ezequiel , Elena Brandaleze
Published: September 2023

The main objective of this article is to deep the knowledge of the thermal behavior of ferrite-bainite (FB) steel in correlation with the structural aspects that justify the mechanical properties. Samples of a DP-590 steel were tested by dilatometry considering a heating rate of 0.17 °C/s, up to a temperature of 1150 °C and different cooling rates between 0.03 °C/s to 100 °C/s, in air atmosphere. The results of the thermal behaviour were correlated with a microstructural study using optical microscopy in order to establish the final proportion of ferrite and bainite that is achieved at each cooling rate considered. As the cooling rate increases, the diffusion processes are limited so that hard second phases are obtained. In this steel, the presence of bainite was corroborated. The mechanical strength evolution associated with the cooling rate was determined through microhardness measurements. On this base, the steel's continuous CCT curves was built.
Characterization of Hot Deformation behavior for Ultra-High Strength (UHS) Steel containing Tungsten
Authors: El-Bitar Taher , ElMeligy Maha , Borek Wojciech , Ebied Saad
Published: September 2023

The steel alloy of the current study contains 0.3% carbon with different amounts of Cr, and Mo, in addition to W. Single simulation hits were designed as isothermal passes for compressive hot deformation up to 0.5 true strain. Each simulation compressive pass was carried out at temperatures, 1050, 950, 850 and 750 oC, with strain rates 0.1 and 1.0 sec-1. A numerical computational model is used for formulation of the alloy hot flow behavior at the specified conditions. The model considers inseparable strain hardening mechanism and dynamic softening phenomenon. It is noticed that high deformation temperature lowers the flow stress value (σf), while the increase of the strain rate raises it. The flow curves reveal initial high strain hardening phenomena in combination with low dynamic softening features. With the increase of strain, the dynamic softening, becomes dominant, and the flow stress gradually drops until a relatively stable stress level. Predicted flow curves were then constructed and compared with their counterpart experimental flow curves. The predicted flow curves are typically matching the counterpart experimental ones.
To what extent has micro-financing been impactful in reducing gender-related inequalities in India?
Authors: Aayush Garg
Published: September 2023

In 2019, India was ranked 123rd on the Gender Inequality Index (GII) with a score of 0.488, and it grappled with a significant gender gap in its labor force participation, amounting to 55.9% ["Gender Inequality Index" data]. Women in India encountered substantial levels of structural violence, defined as violence stemming from societal structures that perpetuate oppression [Heywood, 426]. This took various forms, including traditional constraints on education and employment opportunities, poverty, and physical, sexual, and emotional violence. These factors resulted in an unequal distribution of power, compelling women to assume subordinate roles in society and hindering their ability to achieve equal status, authority, and prosperity in the long run [Singh and Singh].Postcolonial feminists often argue that women can play pivotal roles in development and poverty reduction initiatives, provided they are given local ownership and the opportunity to defy stereotypes portraying them as disempowered, impoverished, and under-educated [Heywood, 437]. One model that aligns with this vision is microfinance, which establishes self-help groups and offers access to loans for low-income families, enabling them to establish small businesses or enhance agricultural projects. To explore the extent of microfinance's impact in reducing gender-related inequalities in India, this report conducts a series of interviews with experts in the field.

El sentido haciéndose: Merleau-Ponty y el ritmo de la expresión en pintura
Authors: Jiménez-Tavira Gabriel
Published: September 2023

Se lleva a cabo una interpretación filosófica en torno a la estructura del sentido de la obra de arte desde la óptica de Merleau-Ponty, partiendo de su crítica a la perspectiva y la representación para diferenciarla del arte moderno, que apuesta por un retorno al mundo primordial (como sucede en el caso del pintor Paul Cézanne). Finalmente, concluimos con una propuesta interpretativa sobre lo que significa para el fenomenólogo francés este retorno originario del arte, que más que histórico y cronológico significa, como se habrá de mostrar, volver al principio actuante y operante de la obra, el cual definiremos como un ‘sentido haciéndose’ porque se estructura y actualiza a modo de un ‘ritmo diferenciador’.
Ontología analógica: Un nuevo modelo ontológico, basado en la filosofía de Herman Dooyeweerd, como respuesta a la dicotomِía hecho/valor en la ética
Authors: Itzá-Martínez Abraham Absalón
Published: September 2023

Se presenta una alternativa de ontología analógica como respuesta al problema del equivocismo en la ética, en particular, en su versión emotivista. Se propone cambiar las presuposiciones ontológicas del esquema hecho/valor por las de una de carácter analógico, que ofrece una nueva perspectiva de la relación sujeto/objeto; entonces, se observa que lo que se niega en el primero (la existencia de propiedades morales) se afirma en el segundo. En la búsqueda de este suelo ontológico para la ética se aplica la filosofía de las esferas modales desarrollada por el holandés Herman Dooyeweerd, en el segundo tomo de su obra.
Cognitio y poesía en el canto XXVI del Infierno de Dante Alighieri
Authors: Bartoli Fabio
Published: September 2023

Se analiza el canto XXVI del Infierno de la Commedia, poniendo el foco de atención en el concepto de cognitio que el poeta representa por medio de la historia de Ulises y que, en su planteamiento, tiene una clara derivación de la filosofía griega, en particular aristotélica y platónica. Es interesante leer todo el canto a la luz de la dialéctica que Dante esboza y que se puede expresar como una tensión entre el deseo de conocimiento y el peligro de soberbia que derivaría de una búsqueda sin límites del mismo. Finalmente, se analizan las consecuencias que dicho planteamiento tiene en la concepción dantesca de la poesía y en su función cognoscitiva.
Clinical and immunological characteristics of food allergy in different forms of inherited epidermolysis bullosa
Authors: Galimova Albina A. , Makarova Svetlana G. , Murashkin Nikolay N.
Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND: Inherited epidermolysis bullosa is a severe orphan hereditary disease with a predominant lesion of the skin and mucous membranes. The study of the comorbid background, including food allergies, remains an urgent issue, given the difficulties that often arise in the treatment and formation of the diet in this category of patients.
AIM: to assess the frequency and nature of food allergies in children with inherited epidermolysis bullosa.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: An open single-center randomized observational retrospective and prospective study included 165 patients aged 2 months to 17 years with an inherited epidermolysis bullosa. All patients were evaluated for an allergic history, determination of the levels of total IgE and allergen-specific serum IgE to the most significant food allergens (UniCAP System, Thermo Fisher Scientific), if necessary, a diagnostic elimination diet and diagnostic product administration were prescribed, based on the data obtained, the diagnosis of food allergy was confirmed or excluded.
RESULTS: Among children suffering from inherited epidermolysis bullosa, confirmed food allergy was 13.9% of cases (in 13.4% in the group of children with dystrophic form of the disease, 15.2% in the group of children with a simple form of the disease). The main manifestations of food allergy in this cohort of patients were skin symptoms. Cows milk proteins were the most frequent etiological factor of food allergy (78.3%). Most children with food allergies had a high level of total IgE (87.5%). In children with non-IgE mediated form, high levels of total IgE were detected in 25% of cases, while these children were characterized by a severe course of the underlying disease or the presence of concomitant atopic dermatitis. Burdened heredity for allergic diseases turned out to be more typical for children with an IgE-mediated form of food allergy from the group of simple epidermolysis bullosa.
CONCLUSION: Early detection of food allergies in children with inherited epidermolysis bullosa, as an aggravating factor in the course of the underlying disease, is necessary to optimize the tactics of dietary support for patients with inherited epidermolysis bullosa.

BACKGROUND: The problem of food allergy remains actual in pediatric practice.
AIM: to establish the prevalence, clinical features and risk factors of food allergy in infants predisposed to allergy diseases in a cohort prospective study with a follow-up period of 12 months.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective cohort study in children whose parents suffer from allergic diseases (n=151) was initiated. Prospective observation included: clinical examination at birth and at the age of 3, 9, 12 months, interviewing parents, assessment of allergen-specific IgE to food allergens in blood serum at the age of 12 months. Statistical analysis was performed using STATISTICA 13.3.
RESULTS: 141 children completed the prospective follow-up. Suspected food allergy (reactions associated with the use of food products) was registered in 48.9% of predisposed children. The symptoms of food allergy include skin lesions and gastrointestinal symptoms. Oral allergic syndrome and respiratory symptoms were recorded only in some cases. Prevalence of suspected food allergy progressively increase by 12 months, mainly due to skin symptoms, while the prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms, on the contrary, decreased by this age. Mixed feeding was recognized as a risk factor for suspected food allergy in predisposed children. The prevalence of IgE ― mediated food allergy, was 13.9%. The use of antibiotics in the first year of life was shown as risk factor for IgE-mediated food allergy in predisposed children. Multivariate logistic regression showed that pets (cats) owners had lower risk of food allergy.
CONCLUSION: Primary allergy prevention and adherence to the principles of rational antibiotic therapy is necessary in children predisposed to allergic diseases.

The article analyzes the essence of the concept of “qualification”, the evolution of approaches to understanding the essence and content of professional qualification, its interpretation in international and Russian regulatory documents. The reasons for the transition from unified qualification guides to professional standards as documents that systematically describe the requirements for the level of qualification of an employee, including education, professional experience and other important characteristics are considered. The system description of labor function and specific labor actions set forth in the standard allows taking into account the possibility of different levels of professional skills.

Ensuring economic security in any country is a top priority. The paper analyzes how the risk-oriented approach of state control of economic security is reflected in statistical indicators and presents the results of the analysis for a number of options. A comparative analysis of data for different countries of the world in selected areas of economic security is presented. An example of a comparative analysis of different countries is given based on indicators of state support for citizens, which characterize one of the aspects of economic security - the risk of losing a job. Based on research, a standard model of state control of economic security is proposed and a review of the indicators that characterize the concept under study is carried out. Different countries have different priorities in terms of economic security, due to the different resources that can be managed. Some shortcomings of existing statistics in this area are discussed and examples of the evolution of risk indicators are given.

Assessing community health needs is essential for providing comprehensive nursing care. This paper reported the usage of pharmacy supply over a 3-month period in Riverton, Jamaica. During the data collection process, we tracked the use of supplies and medications within the Riverton community during that timeframe. The findings we obtained from this quality improvement project reinforced the observations from the initial windshield survey/tour, which indicated that there are numerous unaddressed chronic health conditions within this community. Tracking pharmacy supply usage can be an alternative approach to conducting a windshield survey/tour. Therefore, these approaches can be employed in other communities to yield accurate data on chronic health conditions within a community.

The incorporation of polymer materials into disposable medical devices proves to be valuable due to their chemical and physical properties that make them practically unique. Approximately 25% of hospital waste consists of plastics, prompting various efforts to mitigate their environmental impact, such as reusing or reprocessing. In this study, we attained a hybrid material (organic-inorganic) with antibacterial properties through surface modification of a starch-based polymer matrix and subsequent silver immobilization. The raw material, which is a commercially available biodegradable product, was grafted at room temperature with the monomer 4-vinylpyridine through a “grafting-from” method initiated with high-energy gamma rays from a Co-60 source, using absorbed doses of 10 – 50 kGy and monomer concentrations of 10 – 100 vol%. Grafted films were loaded with silver at room temperature using natural radiation. Our results demonstrate that the modified materials exhibit antimicrobial activity against the pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as confirmed through the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion assay.

Teamwork Management in Additive Manufacturing Using Game Theory
Authors: Castillo-Rivera Salvador
Published: September 2023

The game theory lays out frameworks for studying decision-making in different environments. The principles of this theory predict human behaviour, leading with decision-making and describing how established outcomes may appear that are not optimal for all groups. This article presents a procedure for teamwork management in additive manufacturing projects. The new challenges in this industry must cope from a perspective that yields a response to changing actuality. The symmetric of 2 × 2 games is used to decompose the payoff matrix into two, a cooperative and a zero-sum part. The variations in the relations between the parts are the key to managing team works. The topology properties of these games are used to study the representation of the game space, which will enable us to take decisions in an additive manufacturing project. Furthermore, the analysis of game regions will allow us to obtain further information for arranging the teams. The study shows that game theory provides a proper framework to manage the collaboration between teamwork in additive manufacturing projects and can derive suitable models for strategic interactions that often occur in applications in these settings.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a potentially life-threatening inflammatory disease of the pancreas, with clinical management determined by the severity of the disease. Diagnosis, severity prediction, and prognosis assessment of AP typically involve the use of imaging technologies, such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound, and scoring systems, including Ranson, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II, and Bedside Index for Severity in AP scores. Computed tomography is considered the gold standard imaging modality for AP due to its high sensitivity and specificity, while magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound can provide additional information on biliary obstruction and vascular complications. Scoring systems utilize clinical and laboratory parameters to classify AP patients into mild, moderate, or severe categories, guiding treatment decisions, such as intensive care unit admission, early enteral feeding, and antibiotic use. Despite the central role of imaging technologies and scoring systems in AP management, these methods have limitations in terms of accuracy, reproducibility, practicality and economics. Recent advancements of artificial intelligence (AI) provide new opportunities to enhance their performance by analyzing vast amounts of clinical and imaging data. AI algorithms can analyze large amounts of clinical and imaging data, identify scoring system patterns, and predict the clinical course of disease. AI-based models have shown promising results in predicting the severity and mortality of AP, but further validation and standardization are required before widespread clinical application. In addition, understanding the correlation between these three technologies will aid in developing new methods that can accurately, sensitively, and specifically be used in the diagnosis, severity prediction, and prognosis assessment of AP through complementary advantages.
Bayesian hierarchical modeling: an introduction and reassessment

Published: September 2023

With the recent development of easy-to-use tools for Bayesian analysis, psychologists have started to embrace Bayesian hierarchical modeling. Bayesian hierarchical models provide an intuitive account of inter- and intraindividual variability and are particularly suited for the evaluation of repeated-measures designs. Here, we provide guidance for model specification and interpretation in Bayesian hierarchical modeling and describe common pitfalls that can arise in the process of model fitting and evaluation. Our introduction gives particular emphasis to prior specification and prior sensitivity, as well as to the calculation of Bayes factors for model comparisons. We illustrate the use of state-of-the-art software programs Stan and brms. The result is an overview of best practices in Bayesian hierarchical modeling that we hope will aid psychologists in making the best use of Bayesian hierarchical modeling.
