Plantas medicinais desempenham importante papel no tratamento de afecções femininas, todavia, evidenciam-se falhas no conhecimento sobre fitoterapia e a necessidade de qualificação profissional para seu uso seguro.
THE FIRST STEPS TOWARDS STRATEGIC ALLIANCE IN AZERBAIJANI-TURKISH RELATIONS BEFORE THE SECOND KARABAKH WAR
Authors: Yusibova Gunel
Published: April 2024

Azerbaijan and Turkey are historically linked by many common cultural, linguistic and religious ties, which creates the basis for the development of strategic allied relations between these two countries. After President Ilham Aliyev came to power in 2003, relations between Azerbaijan and Turkey continued to strengthen, and both sides expressed interest in a deeper strategic partnership. In this article, we will consider the first steps towards strategic alliance in Azerbaijani-Turkish relations during the reign of Ilham Aliyev, especially in the context before the Second Karabakh War.

To analyze the first steps towards strategic alliance between Azerbaijan and Turkey during the reign of Ilham Aliyev, a comprehensive analysis of official statements, political documents and treaties, as well as acts of foreign policy of both countries was carried out. Data from studies and analytical reviews published in various scientific journals and reputable analytical publications were also used.

The purpose of this study is to identify the first steps taken by Azerbaijan and Turkey towards deepening strategic alliance during the reign of Ilham Aliyev before the Second Karabakh War. We strive to analyze the main stages and factors that contributed to the formation of closer ties between these two States.

During the reign of Ilham Aliyev, a number of events and political initiatives aimed at deepening strategic relations with Turkey were initiated in Azerbaijan. This included increased military cooperation, the signing of agreements on security and mutual support, as well as agreements on cooperation in the field of energy and transport. Azerbaijan's support of Turkey in various international issues also played a key role in strengthening diplomatic ties.

The first steps towards strategic alliance between Azerbaijan and Turkey during the reign of Ilham Aliyev turned out to be an important stage in the development of relations between these two states. The deepening of cooperation in various fields, including military, political, economic and cultural, contributed to the strengthening of mutual understanding and trust between Azerbaijan and Turkey. This process had a significant impact on the further development of relations and played a key role in the formation of a strategic alliance, which turned out to be especially important in the context of the Second Karabakh War and subsequent events.
THE NATIONAL STATE IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION AND GLOBAL DEMOCRACY
Authors: Yevtushenko Oleksandr , Gorenko Julia
Published: April 2024

The article provides a theoretical and methodological analysis of the processes of globalization and global democracy, examining how these processes alter the position, role, and functions of the modern nation-state while it contends with challenges posed by globalization yet strives to maintain its sovereignty.

 It is characterized that under the pressure of globalization, changes are occurring in the political and economic spheres that influence nation-states, leading to a gradual erosion of their sovereignty and increased susceptibility to economic influences from other states or transnational corporations.

It is noted that the processes of globalization demonstrate the inability of states to fully protect their own interests and citizens from global economic and financial crises, informational impacts, environmental degradation, etc. In such circumstances, the nation-state is no longer the primary actor in the system of international relations, resulting in weakened centralized state institutions, shifts in the perception of state sovereignty, and the emergence of new structures within the global governance system.

 It is substantiated that global democracy, as a phenomenon introduced by the processes of globalization, is a form of implementation of the universal system of political democratic values as the basis for building a democratic society and the formation of public institutions that are the basis of democracy.

It is determined that global democracy is a process of relations between states based on a certain value and normative basis that unites them and keeps them active in the field of certain relations, characterized by the improvement of interconnection between states through the formation of a single information space and the need for a new political order of the world.

 It is emphasized that the processes of globalization and global democracy are objective processes of convergence of political systems of the world, formation of a policy of common standards and approaches to solving common civilization problems.

 It is concluded that for Ukraine, in the context of globalization and global democracy, the main factors of strengthening its sovereignty are the establishment of relations with the international community on the principles of democratic governance, development of a competitive economy, democratization of all spheres of public life, socio-political unity of a civil nation, territorial integrity, and sustainable development of the state.

Authors: May Andrew , Rudduck Emma-Leigh , Wong Daniel , Prowse Phoebe , Proudman Tim , Harries Richard
Published: April 2024

**Background**: With the rising incidence of obesity and bariatric surgery, there has been an increase in body contouring procedures. Abdominoplasty, following massive weight loss, has been shown to improve body image and health-related quality of life. However, the inclusion criteria for this surgery is varied, and the role for public funding is controversial. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the benefits of strict, criteria-based and publicly funded abdominoplasty following massive weight loss using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).**Methods**: This was a prospective cohort study. Patients who qualified for abdominoplasty completed a general health PROM (SF-36) and a body contouring specific PROM (BODY-Q) pre- and postoperatively at three, six and twelve months. Complications were recorded. PROM scores were analysed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test (p < .05). The study was approved by the Central Adelaide Health Network Human Research Ethics Committee [HREC/16/TQEH/133].**Results**: Twenty-three patients were included in the analysis. The mean follow-up time was four months. The body contouring-specific (BODY-Q) scores improved in eight of nine domains. The general (SF-36) scores improved in six of nine domains. The complication rate was low and minor in nature.**Conclusion**: This pilot study suggests that publicly funded abdominoplasty with specific criteria restrictions has a role in significantly improving body satisfaction and health-related quality of life in patients after massive weight loss.

Authors: Yeow Vincent , Young Selena , Chen Philip , Lee Seng , Machin David , Lu Qingshu
Published: April 2024

Background: There is a lack of reliable information on outcomes following cleft surgery. Options for timing and choice of primary cleft surgery have not been compared in randomised trials. Methods: Non-syndromic infants, aged six months, with isolated cleft of the secondary palate without associated lip deformity, were included in this prospective randomised trial to one of four options: Veau-Wardill-Kilner palatoplasty at six months of age (VWK06) or 12 months of age (VWK12), or two-flap palatoplasty with intra-velar veloplasty at six months of age (2F-IVV06) or 12 months of age (2F-IVV12). Outcome measures are early and late postoperative complications, velopharyngeal inadequacy symptoms, nasality, articulation and presence of otitis media at three years of age. Results: Of the 76 infants included in the trial, 90.8 per cent received surgery: VWK06 (n = 18), VWK12 (n = 16), 2F-IVV06 (n = 18) and 2F-IVV12 (n = 17). Early postoperative complications occurred in two VWK infants (6.1%) and three 2F-IVV infants (8.8%)—a difference of -2.8 per cent. With surgery planned at six months of age (T06) and 12 months of age (T12) respectively, there were three VWK infants (8.6%) and two 2F-IVV infants (6.3%)—a difference of +2.3 per cent. At age three, speech assessments were conducted for 62 (84%) children. Velopharyngeal inadequacy symptoms were detected in 4/30 VWK children (13.3%) and 3/30 2F-IVV children (10.0%)—a difference of 3.3. With T06 and T12, there were three VWK infants (9.4%) and four 2F-IVV infants (14.3%)—a difference -4.9%. Otitis media was documented in 40/61 of children (65.6%), hyper- and/or hyponasality in 27/61 of children (44%) and articulation errors in 53/60 of children (88%). Conclusion: Post-surgical complication rates appear low, and differ little, between VWK and 2F-IVV. At three years, there were no demonstrable differences in velopharyngeal inadequacy symptoms, nasality, articulation and otitis media between the two surgical techniques at two different times.

Published: April 2024

Alzheimer’s disease is a unique neurodegenerative condition in humans that is characterized by amyloid beta accumulation in the brain parenchyma. Withania somnifera, commonly known as Ashwagandha, is a plant that has been used for centuries in Indian Ayurvedic medicine to treat various health conditions. The active compound in Ashwagandha has shown to be beneficial in treating several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study used a Drosophila melanogaster AD model to investigate the effect of Ashwagandha in reducing amyloid beta toxicity and promoting longevity. The findings showed that 20 mg/mL of Ashwagandha root powder effectively rescued the "rough eye phenotype" in AD Drosophila and increased longevity in both AD model and wild-type Drosophila. Overall, the results suggest that Ashwagandha may have potent therapeutic potential for treating AD and maintaining cellular well-being.

Published: April 2024

With the rapid urbanization in China, there has been a gradual increase in the production of kitchen waste, which poses significant environmental challenges. High-temperature aerobic fermentation is an effective method for recycling kitchen waste. This study focuses on utilizing kitchen waste, wood chips, and compound microbial agents as the main raw materials for fermentation. Various parameters such as temperature, moisture content, and amount of compound microbial agent were selected to conduct experiments on the high-temperature stage of the aerobic fermentation process for kitchen waste. Through response surface optimization experiments, it was determined that the optimal conditions for achieving fast high-temperature fermentation of kitchen waste are as follows: temperature at 60℃, moisture content at 60%, and amount of compound microbial agent at 10%. The order of influence on the reduction rate of kitchen waste is found to be temperature followed by the amount of compound microbial agent and moisture content. These findings provide valuable insights into resource utilization strategies for managing kitchen waste.

Partir de um país onde a esmagadora imposição religiosa colocou em perigo a sua antiga fé foi uma das etapas na busca de autopreservação a que os judeus etíopes (Beta Israel) tiveram que se submeter. Em Israel, onde se estabeleceram nas últimas décadas do século XX, coube aos etíopes a penosa tarefa de enfrentar a mudança hierárquica pela qual a própria família precisou passar, ao lado das demais diferenças socioeconômico-culturais. E, a todas essas, sobrepôs-se a distinção da cor da pele. Como tais enfrentamentos e adaptações à nova experiência se apresentam na linguagem ousada do conto “Eich shehaolam nihiya lavan” (Quando o mundo se tornou branco), (2013), da coletânea sob o mesmo título de Dália Betolin-Sherman, uma das raras escritoras israelenses de origem etíope, é alvo da abordagem neste texto. É através do olhar da personagem Ester-menina e, depois, adolescente, quando o crescimento é acompanhado pela sensação de estranheza, que se pode seguir a complexidade da experiência no novo país.

Behavior of Grouted Sleeve Wall Connection under Lateral Load
Authors: Ling Jen Hua , Abd. Rahman Ahmad Baharuddin , Ibrahim Izni Syahrizal
Published: April 2024

A grouted sleeve’s efficiency in splicing steel bars makes it a potential choice for connecting precast elements. While most studies have focused on the feasibility of grouted sleeves under tension, only a few have investigated the real response of precast concrete members connected using grouted sleeves. In this study, Tapered Head Sleeves (THS) were utilized as connections for precast walls. The objectives were to examine their behavior under incremental lateral loads and assess the feasibility of THS as a wall connection. Five test specimens and one control specimen were fabricated, each comprising two walls joined by THS. The load was applied 1.8 m above the joint until specimen failure. Specimens that experienced bar fracture failure exhibited a relatively large drift upon failure, while those failing due to bar bond slip showed smaller drift. Factors contributing to wall drift included horizontal slip, rocking displacement, cantilever bending deformation, and compressive settlement. The ultimate load increased by 71% as the embedded length increased from 75 mm to 175 mm, and it increased by 50% as the sleeve diameter decreased from 75 mm to 50 mm. The sleeves' performance was evaluated for feasibility based on the strength ratio, drift ratio, ductility ratio, failure mode, performance ratio, serviceability ratio, and length ratio. Only THS-8 met all the criteria, suggesting that the bar's embedded length should be at least 11 times the bar diameter.

Published: April 2024

Pneumonia is one of the most common contagious respiratory diseases, and one of its symptoms is shortness of breath. This symptom underscores the need for non-contact monitoring methods, which our paper addresses by proposing a strategy that uses Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar to extract breathing waveforms and then classifies them with an eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) model. The model performs well on our dataset, using stratified k-fold cross-validation and Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) feature extraction. This intelligent system can correctly identify deep and deep-quick breathing patterns with 98% and 87.5% recall scores, respectively. Integrating FMCW and XGBoost offers a promising solution for early detection and real-time monitoring of pneumonia

DYNAMIC SITTING EXERCISES FOR LOW BACK PAIN: A BRIEF REVIEW
Authors: Budhiraja Reepakshi , Nagpal Meetu , Singh Raj , Kamaljeet Kamaljeet
Published: April 2024

Low back pain usually arises from improper sitting postures, resulting in spinal loading and stature changes during extended periods of inactivity.
This brief review explores the emerging therapeutic approach of dynamic sitting exercises for non-specic, mechanical LBP. These exercises
combine lumbar hyperextension with abdominal drawing-in maneuvers. The objective is to assess the efcacy of dynamic sitting exercises in
improving stature change, lumbar mobility, and pain intensity during prolonged sitting. A compilation of studies investigating the impact of
dynamic sitting exercises on LBP was reviewed. The studies assessed outcomes such as stature change, muscle fatigue, lumbar mobility, and pain
intensity among participants with chronic LBP. The reviewed studies consistently indicate that dynamic sitting exercises signicantly contribute to
positive changes in stature, lumbar mobility, and pain reduction during prolonged sitting. While short-term effects are well-documented, the longterm impact of these exercises warrants further investigation. Dynamic sitting exercises offer promise in addressing the challenges of prolonged
sitting on low back health. Their incorporation into workplace ergonomics, particularly in sedentary occupations, holds potential for prevention

USING CHATGPT FOR WRITING ARTICLES FOR PATIENTS' EDUCATION FOR ALLERGY AND IMMUNOLOGICAL DISEASES: A FEASIBILITY STUDY
Authors: Pankaj Buch Kathan
Published: April 2024

Background As allergic and immunological diseases are very common among the population, laypeople are more likely to use AI to get answers
regarding the diseases they are suffering from, so evaluating the use of AI in patient education is necessary. Patient education is important for a
patient to acknowledge the pathophysiology and management of disease. Allergy and immunology specialists frequently create personalized
guides for their patients. ObjectiveWe wanted to see if the output of text from ChatGPT might be used to educate patients.Materials and Methods
We requested a list of common immunological and allergy disorders from ChatGPT. It offered a list of fteen illnesses, namely allergic rhinitis,
asthma, anaphylaxis, urticaria, contact dermatitis, allergic conjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis, food allergies, autoimmune diseases, immune
deciency disorders, inammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, allergic pneumonitis, and grave disease. We communicated with
the application by using the names of the diseases to provide feedback on a certain illness (e.g., develop a patient teaching guide on asthma). The
text had been duplicated so that software could evaluate it for plagiarism, word count, and readability. An expert in allergies and immunology
veried the text's accuracy using the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes (SOLO) taxonomy. We compared the value we got with a score of
30 for the readability ease score. We used a one-sample t-test to compare the observed value of the similarity index with 15%. We are comparing the
text generated by ChatGPT with preexisting literature in the form of publications, internet articles, and students' papers. The ChatGPT Results
generated a paragraph of text of 444.13 ± 49.66 words for a patient teaching guide on allergic and immunological diseases. The average text reading
ease score was 23.81 ± 8.11 (p = 0.0104), and it suggests that a college graduate may readily understand this content. The text similarity index was
lower (10.06 ± 5.70%, p = 0.004) than the anticipated maximum of 15%. According to the SOLO taxonomy, the text has a "relational" degree of
accuracy. Conclusion ChatGPT may create a section of text for instructional purposes for patients that has a low similarity index. However, the
average text reading ease was low. As a result, clinicians should exercise caution while utilizing the text created by ChatGPT and must check for
text readability scores so that a larger population can benet.

Published: April 2024

The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritive value of Yam peel (YP), Maize chaff (MC) and Rice straw (RS). Evaluation of the nutrient and anti-nutrient content of the crop residues involved determination of the proximate, mineral and phytochemical contents of YP, MC and RS. In vitro gas production (IVGP) of crop residues was carried out over a period of 24 hr incubation to predict Metabolizable energy (ME), organic matter digestibility (OMD) and short chain fatty acids (SCFA). Methane (CH4) wasmeasured by introducing 10 M NaOH into the inoculums after incubation. Result revealed significant (p<0.05) differences in the values of the proximate composition. The dry matter ranged between 85.55 and 92.18 g/100 g in YP and MC respectively. The highest crude protein (5.01 g/100 g) was obtained in MC, while the lowest (4.00 g/100 g) was recorded for YP. The crude fibre ranged between 25.05 g/100g and 41.49 g/100g (YP). The mineral content of YP, MC and RS were not significantly different from each other, but within acceptable limit for optimum metabolism. YP, MC and RS were implicated for anti-nutrients, though no significant. The IVGP varied significantly (p< 0.05) with the MC recording the highest (30.10ml) value, while the lowest (23.96ml) value was obtained in YP. Same trend was observed for ME, OMD, SCFA and CH4ranging from 5.32–11.12 MJ/Kg DM; 35.13 –64.14 %; 0.50-1.12 μmol and 9.05 –11.00ml respectively.It can be concluded that YP, MC and RShas potential in livestock nutrition. Also the problem associated with disposal of crop residues can be conveniently reduced by incorporating them into ruminant feed.

Published: April 2024

Automating the sewing process presents significant challenges
due to the inherent softness of fabrics and the limited control
capabilities of sewing systems. To realize sewing automation, we propose
a time-scaling modeling and control architecture of the robotic sewing
system. By using the time-scaling modeling, the nonholonomic kinematics
of the sewing process of the industrial sewing machine is linearized
precisely. Based on this model, a two-layer real-time control
architecture is proposed. The upper layer controls the sewn seam line
trajectory using the model-based feedback control implemented in the
time-scaling domain, while the lower layer controls the manipulator and
the sewing machine using geometric-based trajectory generation and
coordinated motion control of the robot and the sewing system in the
time domain. The experimental results demonstrate that the sewing
trajectories exponentially converge to the desired trajectories without
overshooting under different initial conditions and sewing speeds.
Besides, the same sewing trajectories under different sewing speeds are
obtained for a given stitch size. The sewing results show the good
performance and application potential of the proposed robotic sewing
system.
