Importance of newer molecular test for diagnosis of Gaucher disease, a rare condition
Authors: Tandon Rahul , Pankhaniya Rajesh , Dharsandia Nishant , Anant Megha
Published: January 2025

Gaucher’s disease is an autosomal recessive systemic lysosomal storage disorder, characterized by glucocerebroside deposition in cells of the macrophage-monocyte system as a result of deficiency of lysosomal acid beta-glucosidase(glucocerebrosidase). It is a rare genetic disorder and the most common among lysosomal storage disorders. Accumulation of glucocerebroside in tissues leads to multisystem organ involvement viz. liver, spleen, bone marrow, lungs, and central nervous system. It is common in Ashkenazi Jews but rare in India. Gaucher’s disease is a slowly progressive multisystem disease so it is difficult to diagnose early as it can be confused with so many differential diagnoses like hemolytic anemia, hematological malignancies, and chronic liver disease with portal hypertension. Detailed history, complete examination, and basic laboratory investigations are of prime importance to diagnose Gaucher’s disease early.

The accreditation transition of Canadian medical schools: Possible implications for graduates applying for residency positions in the United States
Authors: English Kevan
Published: January 2025

The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) has accredited Canadian medical schools for over 50 years. This agency also serves as the accrediting body for medical colleges in the United States. Thus, graduates of Canadian medical programs seeking residency training in the United States are not considered international medical graduates. Due to this fact, degree holders of Canadian medical programs who wish to pursue residency training in the United States do not require Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduate (ECFMG) certification to attain medical licensure. By mutual agreement with the Committee on Accreditation of Canadian Medical Schools, the LCME accreditation of Canada’s 17 medical schools will end on June 30th, 2025. Beyond this date, Canadian medical graduates seeking training within the United States will be considered international medical graduates. As a result, this will require ECFMG certification to enter postgraduate training. Possible implications of this decision could mean fewer Canadian graduates attaining competitive specialties and the social stigma of being labeled an international medical graduate.

Authors: Domadiya Krushika , Gor Alpa
Published: January 2025

Capecitabine is prodrug of 5 FU (5-fluorouracil). Owing to the drug's tumor-specific conversion to its active form, it is currently widely used for various cancers. It has a very different toxicity profile, hand-foot syndrome is the most frequent dermatologic side effect of capecitabine therapy, while SJS is the least common manifestation. A female who is 35 years old, has been diagnosed with left breast cancer with metastasis to the bones and lymph nodes. After eight days of treatment with capecitabine, she developed abdominal distension and loose stool, burning micturition, and fever with mucocutaneous lesions. The patient showed clinical symptoms consistent with SJS, which was verified by a dermatology consultation. Based on assessments using the Naranjo, WHO-UMC, and Hartwig’s scale, the reaction was determined to be both possible and severe. The patient received both pharmacological and supportive care interventions. During a hospital stay, the patient gradually improved and was discharged with stable hemodynamics. The serious and potentially fatal hypersensitivity reactions that can result from capecitabine are highlighted in this case report. Healthcare professionals need to be aware of the uncommon side effects of chemotherapy, such as early symptom detection and management, which can enhance the safety of anti-cancer medications

Authors: Nguyen An , Ha Linh , Nguyen Linh , Vo Long
Published: January 2025

Background: Cancer remains a global health challenge, with rising incidence and mortality rates despite advancements in prevention and treatment. In 2022, cancer was the second leading cause of death worldwide, contributing to approximately 9.7 million deaths and 20 million new cases. Objective: This study evaluates the palliative care needs and responses among lung cancer patients, aiming to inform healthcare policies and enhance palliative care delivery in Vietnam. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at a provincial hospital from February to October 2024. The study included 204 lung cancer patients aged ≥18 years, capable of providing informed consent and participating in interviews. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire grounded in national palliative care guidelines, assessing eight domains: physical, psychological, informational, daily activities, communication, spiritual care, self-management, and social welfare needs. The tool exhibited excellent reliability (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.74–0.97). Results: Among 204 participants, 75% were ≥60 years old, with a male predominance (72.5%) and rural residency (85.3%). Educational attainment was generally low (51% with lower secondary or below), and the majority were farmers (67.2%). Most patients were in advanced disease stages (Stage III: 38.2%; Stage IV: 32.4%). Physical needs, such as breathing difficulty relief (82.3%), and social interaction (86.8%) were predominant. Psychological needs, particularly anxiety reduction, were reported by 74.5%. Notably, 85.3% required clear medical explanations, and 90.2% sought better disease-related communication. While self-management (90.2%) and financial support (90.7%) were the most effectively addressed needs, spiritual care received the least attention, with 66.2% of patients reporting unmet needs and only 37.7% receiving adequate support. Conclusion: The findings underscore critical gaps in palliative care, especially in spiritual, psychological, and financial support. A holistic, patient-centered approach integrating spiritual care, rehabilitation, and enhanced social support is essential. Improved access to specialized services through telemedicine and outreach programs is vital for rural patients. These results call for policy reform and strengthened healthcare infrastructure to meet the comprehensive needs of lung cancer patients. Future studies should evaluate the long-term outcomes of targeted palliative interventions.

By leveraging these tools, telecommunications project managers can ensure successful project delivery, optimize resource use, and achieve strategic goals with greater agility and precision.
Squares, circles and triangulations. Roman Jakobson, the Prague Linguistic Circle and the intellectual configurations of interwar Prague
Authors: Flack Patrick
Published: January 2025

This paper offers a contextualization of the socio-intellectual and epistemological position occupied by Roman Jakobson and the Prague Linguistic Circle in interwar Czechoslovakia. It does so by emphasizing the systematic role of Russian and Ukrainian émigré communities, and proposing a partial reconstruction of the intellectual network in which Jakobson and the Prague Linguistic Circle were involved. This contextualizing effort strives to underscore how Jakobson and the Prague Linguistic Circle were not only the agents, in Czechoslovakia, of a major international scientific project – the development of phonology and modern linguistics –, but also the direct product of the local interactions – across the concrete urban spaces and squares of Prague – of a whole spectrum of “minor” or “national” traditions, from Russian social philosophy and Eurasianism to Austrian (Brentanian and Neo-Herbartian) psychology or Czech positivism. In particular, the paper highlights the “triangulated” nature of intellectual exchanges in Prague, which played out not only as bilateral, explicit dialogues, but also through a pattern of indirect intersections facilitated by the overlapping participation of many actors in otherwise distinct groups or circles.

To AI Is Human: How AI Tools with Their Imperfections Enhance Learning
Authors: Cwiakala Martin
Published: January 2025

The education community's sentiment regarding artificial intelligence (AI) is divided. Many see it as a means to cheat and prevent students from developing their intellectual abilities because it is generative and can provide results for many domains. Just as some had predicted that paper use would go down when computers were created, the opposite occurred. AI in the classroom, when utilized effectively, promotes critical thinking and not cheating. New technology can shock and awe those who see it for the first time. Upon closer investigation, the actual capabilities are revealed. While large language models can quickly create reports from very little information, we must examine their ability to create specific reports on topics we desire. Any large language model currently available states that it can make mistakes. Students will grow by learning how to prompt AI tools to provide meaningful results, spot mistakes, and validate their results. Knowing when it is appropriate to use an AI tool and reflecting on the consequences of results being wrong brings a student to a higher level of awareness. Performing these tasks concerning AI results also brings the user into the consciousness of their fallibility.
Human Complexity vs. Machine Linearity: Tug-of-War Between Two Realities Coexisting in Precarious Balance
Authors: Barile Paolo , Bassano Clara , Piciocchi Paolo
Published: January 2025

Are machines smarter than humans? What will happen of our species if artificial intelligence (AI) becomes so advanced that it can no longer be controlled? Is the uniqueness of human beings at risk? These are just some of the questions that grip computer science experts as much as ordinary people who experience technological development day in and day out. In our paper, the current scenario will be analysed, from the search for a definition of human intelligence to the historical stages marking the birth and development of technologies capable of emulating many of its facets. The discussion will focus on the main differences between man and machine in the interpretation and replication of the concept of intelligence, highlighting the diversity of approach between an inherently complex entity (man) and a linearly functioning system (machine). The purpose will be trying to provide insights to answer the initial questions, by analysing possibilities and limitations of the main AI emulation techniques. The optimistic view offered by our work suggests that the machine's highest aspiration can only come down to the sheer emulation of our behaviours: machines' linearity will always remain in the service of human complexity, never vice versa.

Authors:   Warsaw School of Economics, College of Management and Finance, Wójcik-Czerniawska Agnieszka , Grzymala Zbigniew ,   Warsaw School of Economics, College of Management and Finance
Published: January 2025

The study reviews key findings on the impact of banking growth and innovation on economic development, particularly focusing on Asian economies where the financial sector is less developed. Using secondary data, it expands the scope of analysis to more specific elements of development. While banking innovation's theoretical effects are vast, empirical findings are often less clear, as they focus on specific businesses and channels. The study highlights the importance of understanding the current state of the financial sector when assessing its role in growth. Artificial intelligence (AI) and Big Data are increasingly used in economic forecasting, offering predictive and decision-making capabilities. The research concludes that greater economic freedom, especially in cross-border financial markets, does not always benefit companies. International financial freedom can hinder development, while domestic financial freedom may support it. As weaker banks struggle to finance startups, the study suggests that financial freedom may yield varied results for economic and business growth. In regions with underdeveloped financial markets, like Asia, banks play a crucial role in fostering growth. The article emphasizes the importance of financial technology in shaping these outcomes.

Authors:   Babes Bolyai University, Georgiou Andreas
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the determinants of R&D value reporting bias in technology sector entities from six EU countries, including Germany and France, using data from 188 entities between 2006 and 2023. The research employs a mixed-method approach, including Pearson correlations, mixed model regressions, and binary logistic regressions, to analyse the relationships between financial leverage ratios, earnings per share, and the performance of intangible assets. The findings indicate significant correlations between financial structure metrics and the Net Present Value (NPV) ratios of intangible assets, suggesting that higher debt levels relative to assets enhance the performance of internally generated intangibles, while increased debt-to-equity and debt-to-capital ratios have a negative impact. Additionally, the study reveals the influence of regional factors and auditor rank on financial performance, emphasizing the complex interplay between financial metrics and the valuation of intangible assets. These insights contribute to understanding earnings management behaviours and provide practical implications for financial management in R&D-intensive entities.

Authors: Canonizado Ma. Jozel Sanchez
Published: January 2025

The character traits of middle school learners are shaped by various factors and manifest differently in home and school environments. Understanding these differences can guide targeted interventions to enhance holistic character development. This study aimed to compare the character traits at home and at school of middle school learners in private schools in San Narciso District, Schools Division of Zambales, during the School Year 2024-2025. A descriptivecomparative research design was employed, involving 51 middle school learners selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a researcher-designed questionnaire with excellent reliability indices (Cronbach's Alpha: 0.944 for home traits and 0.965 for school traits). Statistical analyses, including the Kruskal-Wallis Test and Spearman Rho Correlation, were utilized to test the hypotheses. The majority of learners were 10 years old, female, in Grade 5, with one sibling, and from families earning P25,000–P49,999 monthly. Their parents were college graduates, and the learners spent less than an hour on home study daily, with quarterly grades of 85–89 in Values Education. Learners frequently demonstrated character traits at home and always demonstrated traits at school, except for interpersonal skills, which were frequently demonstrated. While no significant relationship was found between home traits and demographic profiles, a significant difference was noted between character traits at home and school. The study highlights the significant disparity in character traits exhibited at home and school, emphasizing the need for alignment in character development programs. The findings led to the development of an enhanced values formation program to improve the character traits of middle school learners across both home and school settings, providing a structured approach to holistic character education.

Authors: Wang Jingfang
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the translation of culture-loaded words in The Book of Origins, and analyzes it based on the cultural translation theory. In the context of globalization, the translation of ethnic literature works is increasingly valued, especially The Book of Origins, as a classic epic of the Yi ethnic group, its rich cultural connotations presenting challenges for translation. This paper first introduces the content and cultural significance of The Book of Origins, followed by an explanation of the theory of cultural translation and the definition of culture-loaded words. Through a case study analysis of ecological, material, social, religious, and linguistic cultureloaded words in The Book of Origins, the paper explores the application of translation strategies. The study shows that accurate translation of culture-loaded words not only helps to enhance the quality of cross-cultural communication, but also provides important support for promoting the dissemination of Chinese culture and fostering ethnic cultural identity.

Os resultados indicaram que essas dificuldades são frequentemente evidentes nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental e podem impactar significativamente o desempenho acadêmico dos alunos. O estudo enfatiza a importância da identificação precoce dessas dificuldades e da intervenção adequada, bem como a necessidade de uma abordagem multidisciplinar que envolva a colaboração entre professores, psicopedagogos e psicólogos. Ao termino considera-se que o papel do educador é crucial na mediação do processo de aprendizagem, sendo fundamental adaptar práticas pedagógicas para atender às necessidades específicas de cada aluno. A educação inclusiva é vista como um desafio contemporâneo, e somente através de um trabalho colaborativo e da formação continuada dos educadores será possível garantir que todos os alunos, independentemente de suas dificuldades, tenham a oportunidade de aprender e se desenvolver plenamente.

A inclusão escolar tem se consolidado como um direito fundamental, exigindo que as escolas adaptem suas práticas para atender às diversidades de seus alunos. Nesse contexto, o Plano Educacional Individualizado surge como uma ferramenta essencial para garantir que cada estudante tenha suas necessidades específicas atendidas. Este estudo teve como objetivo geral analisar a importância do PEI na inclusão escolar e, como objetivos específicos, identificar: (a) políticas públicas direcionadas à educação especial; (b) a relevância da formação continuada dos profissionais da área. O trabalho foi desenvolvido em duas escolas municipais por meio de pesquisa documental, bibliográfica buscando levantamento das estratégias para execução do PEI a partir de relatos de experiências de duas professoras de apoio de alunos da educação especial. O estudo evidenciou que nos municípios de Miranda e Campo Grande existem políticas educacionais que asseguram o acesso dos estudantes da educação especial as escolas regulares como documentos, recursos, serviços, atendimento educacional especializado e formação continuada. No entanto, apesar dos documentos legais e oficiais que asseveram sua elaboração, não exige obrigatoriedade ou regulamentação específica o que gera insegurança e solitude dos profissionais de apoio na implantação e implementação do referido Plano, por isso, é necessário que o processso de inclusão educacional envolva todos os profissionais que atuam nas escolas.
CRIANÇA/S E INFÂNCIA/S PROTAGONISTAS DE SUAS HISTÓRIAS: COMO SE DÁ A ALFABETIZAÇÃO E LETRAMENTO NESSE CONTEXTO?

Published: January 2025

Este artigo resulta de estudos e reflexões baseados nas vivências das crianças e de suas
infâncias, com o objetivo de compreender como se desenvolvem os processos de
alfabetização e letramento nesse contexto. Nele, aborda-se a concepção de criança e infância
ao longo da história, destacando as mudanças ocorridas em âmbito nacional. O texto apresenta
a experiência de uma turma de pré-escola (pré-II) da Rede Municipal de Ensino de São José
dos Campos, no estado de São Paulo, região Sudeste do Brasil. Essa vivência parte da
concepção de que a criança é protagonista, sujeito de direitos e agente ativo em seu processo
de aprendizagem. O projeto, intitulado Exploradores: o que tem vida?, evidencia as
descobertas das crianças, oferecendo-lhes vez e voz. Criado a partir do interesse coletivo da
turma, o projeto teve como finalidade diferenciar seres vivos de não vivos, estimular a
exploração do ambiente, promover a compreensão do sistema de escrita alfabética e fomentar
o letramento linguístico. Dessa maneira, constata-se que, ao incentivar o avanço das hipóteses
de escrita das crianças e valorizar sua autoria de forma lúdica, promove-se uma aprendizagem
significativa e enriquecedora.

Este trabalho discute a alfabetização e o letramento, numa relação indissociada, considerando, especialmente, os contextos de atuação com estudantes com deficiência intelectual (DI) no ciclo final do Ensino Fundamental e na Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA). Busca investigar, em pesquisas acadêmicas produzidas em Programas de Pós-graduação, entre os anos de 2014 e 2024, como se concebe e percebe a atuação com estudantes com DI no que tange a períodos formativos posteriores ao ciclo de alfabetização das crianças, em idade considerada própria, e no contexto da EJA. Tem-se por objetivo, então, analisar em que medida se apresentam os estudos envolvendo a alfabetização e o letramento em associação a partir dos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental e na modalidade EJA, especialmente no que concerne ao trabalho com estudantes com deficiência intelectual. Justifica-se pelo reconhecimento das especificidades que constituem a atuação com o público de pessoas jovens e adultas e também pela observância de que a maioria dos processos formativos no âmbito da alfabetização e do letramento associado a este processo são direcionados aos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental e, quando transcorrido este período, a organização dos anos finais, com as disciplinas específicas, pode incorrer em dificuldades de atender as demandas ainda presentes. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, em caráter exploratório e descritivo, a qual mobiliza como base para a coleta de dados, um levantamento bibliográfico associado a Programas de Pós-graduação, a partir do Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES). Diante da pesquisa, observou-se uma grande carência de estudos direcionados sobre a alfabetização e o letramento de estudantes com deficiência intelectual nos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental e, ainda que encontrados com maior presença quando em se tratando da EJA, percebe-se o delinear de um contexto que requer investimento em produções, como também, pelos resultados evidenciados, em formação continuada docente para a educação inclusiva e no que se trata da compreensão à importância dos estudos de alfabetização e letramento ao longo das trajetórias escolares.

Published: January 2025

Esta pesquisa tem como tema a inclusão do estudante com deficiência intelectual no ensino
fundamental nas escolas estaduais do estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil. Tem como objetivo
conhecer sobre como a legislação do estado realiza a inclusão do estudante com deficiência
intelectual nas escolas estaduais do Mato Grosso do Sul. E os objetivos específicos são analisar
documentos e legislações que asseguram a inclusão do aluno com deficiência e descrever as
características da deficiência intelectual. A forma de abordagem será através de uma pesquisa de
revisão bibliográfica qualitativa, ressaltando informações obtidas de autores que subsidiarão a
fundamentação textual. Para melhor desenvolver a pesquisa e estudo desse trabalho se fez
necessário um levantamento das concepções de autores e documentos especializados no assunto,
ora exposto, entre os quais podem ser citados: Lei de Diretrizes e Bases(LDB), Deliberação
CEE/MS nº11.883 de 05 de dezembro de 2019 e autores como Buytendorp (2019), entre outros
destacados ao longo da revisão de literatura expressa no decorrer deste trabalho. O ensino
oferecido no atendimento educacional especializado é diferente do ensino escolar e não pode
caracterizar-se como um espaço de reforço escolar ou complementação das atividades escolares.
A sala de recursos multifuncional será o local apropriado para o aluno aprender a utilização das ferramentas de tecnologia, tendo em vista o desenvolvimento da autonomia. Segundo o Manual
de Orientação do Programa de Implantação de Salas de Recursos Multifuncionais a construção
de políticas públicas inclusivas, de acesso aos serviços e recursos pedagógicos e de acessibilidade
nas escolas regulares, eliminam a discriminação e a segregação, superando o modelo de escolas
e classes especiais.
