Authors: M Jegadeeshkrishnan , Konda Vijaya , D Bhargavi , Kale Pavankumar
Published: July 2024

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinicoradiological condition characterized by headaches, seizures, confusion, and visual impairment. It typically causes transient lesions in the posterior white matter in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. PRES induced by chemotherapy is uncommon in oncology but can be a significant neurological event. The exact cause of PRES remains unclear. This case report describes a 15-year-old female patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who developed PRES following chemotherapy with prednisolone (100 mg), vincristine (2 mg), and daunorubicin (40 mg) as per the modified Berlin-Frankfurt-Munster (95/2002) protocol. She developed headaches, partial seizures, and elevated blood pressure 1 day after starting chemotherapy. Brain MRI showed T2 and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery hyperintensities in the bilateral cerebral parenchyma, brainstem, and cerebellum. She was treated with levetiracetam (500 mg stat and then 1.5 g BD) for seizures, amlodipine (5 mg) for hypertension, and paracetamol (650 mg TDS) for headaches. Her symptoms improved and resolved within 2 days. The event was deemed possibly related to the chemotherapy drugs according to the World Health Organization-Uppsala Monitoring Centre causality assessment system.
Multimodal Discourse Analysis, audiovisual translation, The Broke Sisters.
Authors: Luo Jia
Published: July 2024

China's Insurance Law defines "workers who have a labor relationship with the insured" for pure economic interests. According to the current law, when an employer purchases insurance for its employees, the transfer of the insurance claim right can be effective. In this case, should the share of the income of the employer, as a non-natural person, when receiving the employee's death insurance be restricted? This issue is not explicitly stipulated in the law and needs to be discussed. In light of social reality, this article believes that the employer's share of benefits in group accident insurance should be restricted by amending the Insurance Law or supplementing judicial interpretations. If necessary, content that favors the insured and their families can be added. This will save losses and prevent the employer from using the employment relationship to infringe on the legitimate interests of employees.

Authors: Yu Hong , Hu Xingbo
Published: July 2024

In the context of the increasing normalization of cross-screen dissemination of media content, the cross-screen communication capabilities of hosts play a crucial role in the effective dissemination of information. As key nodes in the media ecosystem, hosts act as system connectors, social navigators, and content gatekeepers. Based on the role positioning of hosts within the media ecosystem, they can adopt a series of measures to enhance cross-screen communication effectiveness and audience experience. By establishing a media synergy dissemination matrix through engagement on various platforms, hosts can enhance the aggregated dissemination effect of the media system. Utilizing cross-screen narratives to adapt to the dissemination rules and audience habits of different media platforms can increase audience engagement and retention. Leveraging cross-screen interactions, hosts can create emotionally connected spaces across platforms, strengthening the emotional connection between audiences and media platforms. During the cross-screen communication process, hosts should also pay attention to the adaptability of media platforms, the coherence of cross-screen narratives, and the consistency of the host's brand.

Authors: Ping Wen
Published: July 2024

Red tourism, a special type of tourism with distinct Chinese characteristics, is an important indicator of Chinaʼs soft power. Red Tourism Translation (RTT) is a channel for China to introduce its red culture and provide foreigners with an understanding of Chinaʼs revolutionary history and traditions. Based on the fundamental principles of Reception Aesthetics such as horizon of expectation, aesthetic distance, semantic uncertainty and cultural gaps, this study analyzes cases and examines the cultural misunderstandings and mistranslations in English translation of the red tourism text in Mao Zedong Memorial Museum in Shaoshan, proposes a reader-centered model in RTT and argues that in RTT, the target readers should be comprehensively catered to at linguistic, cognitive, cultural and aesthetic levels. This model involves remaining faithful towards the original information, providing necessary background information, omitting redundant expressions, restructuring understandable aesthetic experience for the target readers, which will facilitate the smooth spread of Chinese red culture and realize the integrity, authenticity and uniqueness of its ethnic identity in this dissemination process.

Today’s Common Sense in Science can be Changed Tomorrow
Authors: Takefuji Yoshiyasu
Published: July 2024

Abstract: STEM-education also creates critical thinkers, increases science literacy, and enables the next generation of innovators. Although mathematics is robust, scientific laws are statements based on repeated experiments or observations that describe or predict a range of natural phenomena. Different observations may produce a new scientific law which may contradict with the conventional scientific laws. The teacher must tell all students that scientific laws are not always true, but only true under assumed observations. In other words, in the future, the current common sense of science can be changed tomorrow. Besides, we need to know that we are not always logical. This paper will present three examples to validate the proposed claims.

Published: July 2024

Günlük akarsu akımlarının tahmini su yapılarının işletilmesi, kontrolü ve yönetimi için önemlidir. Kısa süreli akım değerlerinin tahmini birçok parametreye bağlı ve değişkenlik gösteren zor bir görevdir. Günlük, haftalık gibi kısa süreli akış tahminleri, bir havzadaki belirli bir rezervuarın önümüzdeki kısa zaman boyunca akışını tahmin etmek için kullanılır. Bu tahminler, mevcut su kaynaklarının optimum kullanımı için reservuarda depolamasının aktif olarak düzenlenmesini gerektiren hidroelektrik güç planlaması ve taşkın azaltmayı planlamak için kullanılır. Bu sebeple gerek akarsu yapılarının yönetiminde reservuarda ne kadar su biriktirileceği veya bırakılacağının belirlenmesinde gerekse üretilecek enerji miktarının belirlenmesinde kısa süreli akım tahminlerine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu sebeple kısa süreli akımlar için en uygun tahminin yapılabilmesi su yapılarının yönetiminde hayati öneme sahiptir. Bu çalışmada günlük akım verilerinin kısa süreli akım tahminlerinde son yıllarda geliştirilmiş ve sıklıkla tercih edilen makine öğrenmesi yöntemlerinden birisi olan Destek Vektörleri Makineleri (DVM) incelenmiştir. Çoruh havzasında bulunan Büyükdere Çayına ait 1981-2009 yılları arasında ölçülmüş 10168 adet günlük akım verileri kullanılarak bu yöntem ile geliştirilen modeller sonuçlarının iyileştirilmesi için dalgacık dönüşümü kullanılarak hibrit modeller elde edilmiş ve günlük akım verileri için en uygun modeller araştırılmıştır. Geliştirilen modeller arasında 1,2 ve 5 günlük geciktirilmiş akım verilerin kullanılarak geliştirilen Dalgacık dönüşümlü DVM (WDVM04) modeli çeşitli istatistik kriterleri (R:0.998; NSE:0.996; KGE:0.993; PI:0.039; RMSE:0.304 ve MAPE:0.056) kullanılarak en iyi model olarak bulunmuştur.
Life Skills for Promoting Mental Well-Being among Indian Adolescents and Youth
Authors: Guha Dr. Sampurna
Published: July 2024

Abstract: Adolescents and young emerging adults are highly vulnerable to stress and strain due to numerous transitions which are biological, socio-emotional, and psychological in nature. This coupled with external factors and environmental influences such as family structure and needs, peer-pressure, school and college environment play a critical role in influencing their thoughts and behavior. Hence it becomes crucial to find the means for strengthening problem-solving skills thereby enhancing their mental health and overall well-being. Life skills serve as an effective means of empowering adolescents and youth to navigate life’s challenges proficiently, using a skill-based approach. The World Health Organization (WHO) focuses on ten core life skills including aspects of individual personality (self-awareness, empathy), cognitive skills (critical and creative thinking, decision making, problem solving), coping skills (coping with stress and emotions), interpersonal relationships and communication skills. The Jeevan Kaushal Curriculum (2.0) framed by University Grants Commission proposes several core skills essential for living successful lives viz. communication skills, professional skills (career and team skills), leadership and management skills and universal human values. This study attempts to explore the role of core documents such as the Jeevan Kaushal Curriculum (2.0), WHO Universal Health Coverage for Mental Health and National Education Policy (NEP, 2020) in supporting the mental well-being of the target population, using document analysis. The study findings indicate that the Jeevan Kaushal curriculum (2.0) can be used as an effective tool towards fostering student skills sets and enhancing mental strength thereby supporting the promotion and maintenance of mental well-being of adolescents and youth in the Indian context. Moreover, it is in alignment with the core features of NEP 2020 which focuses on a holistic, transformational higher education curriculum incorporating value-based education and community engagement services.

Authors: De Araujo Moisés Augusto , Nassif Paulo Afonso Nunes , Fratini Livia , Roesler Rafael , Rabello Samuel , Carmo Alexsandro Batista da Costa , Isolan Gustavo Rassier
Published: July 2024

Introdução: Meduloblastoma é tumor maligno, altamente agressivo e de rápido crescimento que surge no cerebelo ou no assoalho do quarto ventrículo e tronco cerebral, especialmente em crianças. Mesmo com avanços na terapia, a morbimortalidade permanece grande desafio. Por isso, novos tratamentos são necessários para reduzir esses desfechos.
Objetivo: Revisar a relação NRP1 (neuropilina 1) e meduloblastoma como potencial alvo terapêutico e, também, com sobrevida global.
Método:  Trata-se de revisão narrativa realizada nas bases de dados PubMed e Scielo. A busca utilizou as seguintes palavras-chave: “neuropilinas, meduloblastoma, tumores cerebrais, pediatria”. Os critérios de inclusão foram artigos de revisão, estudos experimentais, pesquisas pré-clínicas e clínicas, em inglês e português, e disponíveis em texto completo. Os artigos selecionados foram analisados com base nas tecnologias abordadas, perspectivas futuras e desafios mencionados, doenças referidas e ideia central do artigo.
Resultado: Foram incluídos 30 artigos
Conclusão: Os meduloblastomas possuem altos níveis transcricionais de neuropilina (NRP1) e seus baixos níveis relacionam-se com menor sobrevida global, especialmente nos SHH. Nesse sentido, a NRP1 e seu complexo sistema de atuação aparece como potencial alvo de terapias oncológicas para tumores cerebrais.

Introduction: Obesity has been linked to the onset or worsening of autoimmune diseases.
Objective: To review the presence of autoantibodies in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery and verify the possible change in this profile after the surgical procedure.
Method: Narrative review of the literature carried out in PubMed and Scielo. The search used the keywords: “obesity, autoimmunity, antinuclear factor, bariatric surgery”. The inclusion criteria comprised review articles, experimental studies, pre-clinical and clinical research, written in Portuguese and English and available in full text.
Result: 63 articles were included.
Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of positive ANA in the obese population and candidates for bariatric surgery, which decreases considerably post-operatively. The same cannot be verified with rheumatoid factor, ENA and anti-ds DNA antibodies, IgG and IgM anticardiolipin antibodies, and anti-endomysium antibodies. No clinical or anthropometric variables could be linked to the presence of autoantibodies, except for vitamin D levels, which were significantly lower in preoperative and ANA-positive individuals.

O Brasil ocupa o 4º lugar dos países que produzem pedras naturais. A indústria de rochas ornamentais é de extrema importância para a construção civil, entre as diversas rochas, podemos destacar o mármore, muito utilizado em bancadas e revestimentos. Quando as placas de mármore chegam nas marmorarias, elas são preparadas para a comercialização, gerando resíduos de cacos de mármore que, muitas vezes são depositados na natureza de forma indevida. Apesar disso, estes resíduos podem sem utilizados na fabricação de rochas artificiais. Desta forma, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi desenvolver amostras de rochas artificiais a partir de resíduos de mármore, utilizando como matriz a resina de Poliuretano Vegetal oriunda do óleo de mamona. Assim, a partir de 50 % de resíduos de mármore e 50 % de resina de poliuretano vegetal a -200 mmHg foram obtidas amostras de rochas artificiais. Em seguida, foram medidas a porosidade aparente, a absorção de água e a densidade aparente das amostras, conforme a norma NBR 15845-2 de 2015.

Published: July 2024

A Matemática é uma área do conhecimento imprescindível para a vida em sociedade, mas com relatos negativos nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem, despertando sentimentos aversivos nos alunos e consequentemente, acarretando a Matofobia. Diante disso, o presente estudo objetivou discutir sobre a Matofobia e descrever uma proposta de diretivas metodológicas e avaliativas no ensino de Matemática. Para tanto, foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa bibliográfica narrativa, cujo texto encontra-se organizado na perspectiva de apresentar os conceitos e singularidades das dificuldades, distúrbios e transtornos de aprendizagem; situar os fatores intervenientes da Matofobia e, por fim, a apresentação de diretivas metodológicas e avaliativas frente ao fenômeno da Matofobia. Constatou-se que a Matofobia é uma problemática bem presente na realidade educacional, portanto, praticar uma atuação docente inclusiva somada a metodologias atualizadas, além de caminhar concomitante ao método formativo, com uso de feedbacks cumulativos, pode contribuir para mitigar tais entraves matofóbicos. Conclui-se que, superar a lógica da prática da avaliação voltada para o ato de examinar e criar estratégias diferenciadas de ensino é um caminho viável para a construção de uma prática inclusiva, visando à formação integral do aluno.

Published: July 2024

As disciplinas de Química, Física e Biologia apresentam como gargalo no Ensino Médio conteúdos desafiadores durante os primeiros anos. Associado a isso, destaca-se a falta de infraestrutura, tanto em aspectos físicos, como falta de laboratórios, quanto em recursos materiais. O estudo busca avaliar as principais dificuldades enfrentadas pelos professores no processo de ensino-aprendizagem na área de conhecimento das Ciências da Natureza. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, de abordagem quantitativa e foi realizada nas escolas da rede pública localizadas em uma cidade do sudoeste mineiro, através de plataformas virtuais devido à pandemia do patógeno Sars-Cov2, causador da COVID-19. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi um questionário online fechado, contendo 6 blocos de questões objetivas, aplicado aos docentes acerca de suas vivências em sala de aula. Os obstáculos encontrados – políticos, sociais e educacionais – revelam os desafios para a sua prática e reforçam como a intensa fragmentação e padronização do ensino atuam como agentes antagonistas desse processo e como a liberdade e autonomia da gestão escolar agem na resolução de tais impasses.  Observou-se que as práticas pedagógicas utilizadas no ensino das Ciências da Natureza, na avaliação da maioria dos professores pesquisados, seguem um modelo tradicional do ensino, mediante a apresentação de conceitos, leis e fórmulas de forma desarticulada, distante do cotidiano dos alunos.

Nocebo effect as the opposite of the placebo effect: Systematic review
Authors: França Drissen Viviani , Sabattini Analia Claudia
Published: July 2024

Background: the placebo effect refers to a clinical improvement in a patient as a result of interactions with the treating physician, information received about the treatment, and the defined therapy. The placebo effect is a broad field involving complex neurobiological and neurotransmitter mechanisms, and recent studies have provided evidence that these effects are genuine biopsychosocial phenomena. Although placebos cannot cure a disease, they can provide relief to the patient and improve the effectiveness of pharmaceuticals. The effectiveness of placebos depends on several factors, including the patient's age, psychological and emotional state, the doctor's approach, and the information provided to the patient. The nocebo effect, which generates an adverse response to this type of treatment, which can be defined as the effect opposed to placebo. Method: an exhaustive search was carried out in PubMED and a synthesis of the available evidence on the neurobiological factors associated with the nocebo effect. For this, a systematic review was carried out. Results: after manual selection, 4 articles were reviewed for the preparation of results.Conclusion: therapeutic interaction, facial expressions, and eye contact influence placebo analgesia. The patient's expectation, based on the physician's information and nonverbal cues, is crucial in the placebo response. Variables such as age and psycho-emotional state reduce the efficacy of the placebo. The nocebo effect causes adverse responses related to negative expectations. The presentation of medical information influences the nocebo response. Cognitive behavioral treatments and medications can reduce nocebo effects. These determinations have implications for the treatment of psychiatric conditions and medication management

Authors: Diaz Basurto Ingrid Joselyne , Molina Mora José Fabían , Diaz Basurto Miguel Stevens
Published: July 2024

The study analyzes the modalities of food provision contemplated in the Code of Childhood and Adolescence of Ecuador through a qualitative and analytical approach. The regulatory framework, jurisprudence, and interviews with specialized judges and lawyers are thoroughly examined. The judges indicate that the most applied modality is the payment of a periodic pension, considering the best interests of the beneficiary, socioeconomic circumstances, and age. They identify challenges such as the lack of resources of the obligor, the complexity of verifying compliance and modifying modalities. The lawyers use argumentative strategies based on principles, jurisprudence, and socioeconomic evidence. Both groups recognize the strengths and weaknesses of each modality. It is concluded that although the Code establishes a solid framework, it is insufficient in enforcement and compliance mechanisms, requiring regulatory, procedural, and inter-institutional coordination improvements.

An investigation is presented aiming to examine the current legislation, common practices, and public perceptions related to tax evasion and avoidance in Ecuador, in order to identify areas for improvement and propose strategies to strengthen voluntary compliance with tax obligations and promote a more transparent and equitable tax system. The research is based on historical, logical, synthetic, dialectical methods, analyzing various sources of information, and a survey aimed at the general population to determine public opinion. Results showed that there is mostly confidence in the tax system, although there is a need for improvement in the information being managed. There is a lack of tax education, with the majority not having received formal training on taxes. Although many people perceive sanctions as effective, there is concern about their fair and consistent application. It is recommended to improve transparency in the application of sanctions and strengthen tax education to enhance voluntary compliance.

Access Bars Therapy is a therapeutic technique, used to reduce anxiety, improve self-esteem and promote positive changes in behavior and emotions. However, the lack of solid scientific evidence is a barrier to its widespread acceptance in the field of clinical psychology. For the study, a bibliographic review was carried out and a survey was applied to 15 patients. In addition, the AHP methods of Saaty and Topsis were used to evaluate the participants' perception of their mental clarity and their emotional reactions, to make decisions regarding possible solutions. As a result, it was found that despite this technique reducing anxiety, improving self-esteem and promoting positive changes in behavior and emotions, the lack of solid scientific evidence is a significant barrier to its widespread acceptance in the field of clinical psychology. Therefore, controlled and randomized studies are required to provide a robust empirical basis. Mental health professionals should consider both the available evidence and the specific needs of their patients when deciding on its use.

In the wave of new educational curriculum reform, exploring how to stimulate and cultivate college students' musical creativity has become an important topic that cannot be ignored. In order to achieve this goal, we must focus on enhancing the innovative ability and consciousness of college students, which is the key to cultivate their musical creativity. This study takes the students in the music clubs of colleges and universities in Zhejiang as the object, and discusses the influencing factors of the creativity of music creation from the perspective of teachers. Through the establishment and analysis of the structural model, it is found that teachers' intelligence, personality, motivation, knowledge and skills, diversity of music preferences, social and cultural tendencies and other factors have significant effects on students' musical creativity. Among them, long-term memory and retrieval ability, openness to experience, internal motivation, diversity of music preferences and sociocultural tendency have positive effects on music creativity. Based on the research results, this paper puts forward specific educational countermeasures and suggestions, aiming to stimulate students' musical creativity comprehensively and improve the quality of music education through innovative teaching methods, changing the role of teachers, weakening the sense of competition in learning, integrating collective culture and other measures. This study not only enriches the theoretical system of musical creativity, but also points out the direction of college music community education practice, and provides valuable inspiration and practical reference

Research surveys are believed to have originated in antiquity with evidence of them being performed in ancient Egypt and Greece. In the past century, their use has grown significantly and they are now one of the most frequently employed research methods including in the field of healthcare. Modern validation techniques and processes have allowed researchers to broaden the scope of qualitative data they can gather through these surveys such as an individual’s views on service quality to nationwide surveys that are undertaken regularly to follow healthcare trends. This article focuses on the evolution and current utility of research surveys, different methodologies employed in their creation, the advantages and disadvantages of different forms and their future use in healthcare research. We also review the role artificial intelligence and the importance of increased patient participation in the development of these surveys in order to obtain more accurate and clinically relevant data.

BACKGROUND

While prior data showed an increasing incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the United States, there are limited comprehensive and comparative data on the geographical variations of HCC trends in different demographic-specific populations.

AIM

To evaluate sex and age-specific incidence rates and time trends in different geographical regions in the United States.

METHODS

Age-adjusted HCC incidence rates were collected from the United States Cancer Statistics (USCS) database which covers approximately 98% of the population in the United States. HCC rates were stratified by sex, age, and geographical region. annual percentage change (APC) and average APC (AAPC) were estimated using Joinpoint Regression. A pairwise comparison was conducted between sex-specific trends.

RESULTS

There were 467344 patients diagnosed with HCC in the United States in the USCS database between 2001 and 2020. The rates and trends varied by geographical region. When looking at the West region (115336 patients), incidence rates of HCC were overall increasing and also increasing in older adults. However, when evaluating younger adults, HCC incidence rates decreased in men but not in women with a sex-specific absolute AAPC-difference of 2.15 (P = 0.005). When evaluating the Midwest region (84612 patients), similar results were seen. While incidence rates were increasing in the overall population and in older adults as well, they were decreasing in younger men but not in women with a sex-specific absolute AAPC-difference of 1.61 (P < 0.001). For the Northeast region (87259 patients), the analysis showed similar results with decreasing HCC incidence rates in younger men but not counterpart women (Sex-specific AAPC-difference = 3.26, P < 0.001). Lastly, when evaluating the south (180137 patients), the results were also decreasing in younger men but not in women (Sex-specific AAPC-difference = 2.55, P < 0.001).

CONCLUSION

Nationwide analysis covering around 98% of the United States population shows an increasing incidence of HCC across all geographical regions, most notably in the South. While younger men experienced decreasing HCC incidence, younger women had a stable trend and this was noted across all regions as well. Our study offers insight into the epidemiology of HCC in different demographic groups across various United States geographical regions. While the reasons contributing to our findings are unclear, they can be related to sex and regional disparities in healthcare access and utilization. Future research is warranted to characterize the temporal change in HCC risk factors across different United States regions.

This study aimed to explore the “Challenges faced by emotionally intelligent teachers at the university level”. To be fruitful this aim the two objectives were proposed. First objective was to identify the level of emotional intelligence among university teachers. Second objective was to recognize the challenges faced by emotionally intelligent teachers at the university level. Due to the broad nature of the topic, conducting an in-depth analytic study would have been time-consuming. Therefore, the research was delimited to focus specifically on 100 university teachers due to time constraints. A total of 100 university teachers were selected based on the informed consent of university-level teachers. The entire sample of 100 university teachers was included in the study. A five-point rating scale was developed specifically for university-level teachers. The literature relevant to emotional challenges faced by university-level teachers was reviewed. Based on this literature review, a five-point rating scale was constructed, comprising the following main categories. Emotional intelligence, Challenges faced by emotional intelligence, Emotional regulation and coping strategies, Support and training, and Suggestions for improving. The data were tabulated and statistically analyzed using percentages and standard deviations. The majority of respondents (45%) rated their understanding of emotional intelligence as average, followed by 25% rating it as high, and 15% defining it as very low. Only 5% of respondents rated their understanding as very high. Conclusions were drawn accordingly, and recommendations consistent with the findings were also provided.
