Authors: Estanislau de Alcântara Oliveira Lanna Isa , Silva Vicente Aléxia , Botelho de Aguiar Thaís Caroline , Cordeiro Dias Mariana , Santiago da Silva Juliana
Published: September 2022

O Sarampo é uma doença causada pelo vírus do gênero Morbillivirus, da família Paramyxoviridae. A transmissão ocorre principalmente por contato direto com secreção expelidas da pessoa doente. O Sarampo é prevenido por meio da vacinação, que está incluída no Calendário Nacional de Vacinação. Trata-se de um estudo observacional, descritivo e epidemiológico, cujo objetivo visa acompanhar a cobertura da vacina Tríplice Viral durante o decênio de 2010 a 2019 e, a partir desse fato, analisar os dados, a fim de, possivelmente, apontar resultados que contribuam para explicar a volta de casos de Sarampo no Brasil. Diante dos dados apresentados, houve queda significativa na cobertura vacinal no país a partir do ano de 2015, com exceção da Região Sudeste, e intensificados em 2017. A Venezuela enfrentou um surto de Sarampo concomitante em 2017. Verificou-se que o movimento migratório intenso e a situação econômica encontrada nesse país contribuíram para a disseminação da doença em solo brasileiro. De acordo com os resultados expostos, a vacinação é uma forma eficaz e segura de prevenir a doença, devendo, portanto, haver diversas campanhas de vacinação com conscientização da população sobre os seus riscos.

This research aims to estimate whether the WTP for fish conservation zones in terms of fish species protection areas. The authors used cross-sectional data that was collected from 369 respondents in 3 target villages in the Khong district of Champasak province Laos in 2021 and utilised WTP and maximum likelihood regression, marginal effect result for analysis. The estimate of the empirical model used for econometric analysis is based on the previously described model. This study finds that the average WTP households in target villages for fish conservation zones is 12.12 US $/household/year. The bid price, the recognition of the necessity of the fish conservation zones' knowledge, and average monthly income all positively impact WTP for fish conservation zones with a statistically significant impact. The authors conclude that the fish conservation zones might increase fish species in the study area. This valuation can be calculated as the cost to improve the quality of establishing fish conservation zones by multiplying the number of people in three villages of 768 households, which is the value expectation of the economy at 9,310 US $/year. However, improving public goods conservation now is the duty of everybody, so if we would like to strengthen fish conservation zones more efficiently than ever, we may find more suitable and sustainable alternatives.

Parental participation is crucial for the development of students and offers several benefits. Much research investigates how parenting may affect the performance of students and the job of teachers. The Parental Involvement Strategy (PIS) is a form of new normal pedagogy grounded in the context of the new lens of education. More importantly, under the new normal setup, aiding the teaching and learning process through parental guidance in students’ school activities This study focused on the validation of the Parental Involvement Strategy (PIS) to increase the Grade 8 students’ academic performance in MAPEH. It is set to the following variables: achievement showcasing, awarding scheme, and video presentation of students’ activities for the entire school year 2020–2021. The study utilizes a quantitative experimental research design and uses a survey questionnaire and summative test in MAPEH 8 to determine the significant effects of the Parental Involvement Strategy (PIS) on academic performance in MAPEH 8. Purposive sampling was done and it includes thirty-six (36) Grade 8 students and their parents. A letter of consent was first floated to all the participants. A weighted mean and a t-test for dependent means were used to analyze the data. It was found that the introduction of the Parental Involvement Strategy (PIS) is an effective new normal strategy to increase students’ academic performance. The Parental Involvement Strategy (PIS) significantly validates its positive effects in increasing students’ academic performance in MAPEH. It is suggested that the proposed action plan be used as a base to increase the use of the Parental Involvement Strategy (PIS) to help students do better in school.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disorder affecting people worldwide. Diabetes mellitus has been known to be associated with lipid metabolic disorders and macrovascular and microvascular complications. Objective: This study assesses the correlation between cardio risk index and metabolic markers in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Methods: This study was conducted on type 2 diabetes mellitus with the cross-sectional analytic method. The inclusion criteria of the samples were all the patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus of both sexes. We recorded Body Mass Index, Blood Pressure, disease duration, and family history. The laboratory parameters, including Fasting Blood Sugar, Hba1c, HDL, LDL, TG, and Cholesterol, were examined by Paramita Laboratory Clinic. The data of the samples were processed using a computer with the SPSS program..Results: There were significantly different mean of age, abdominal circumference, FBG, Hba1c, cardio risk index, and HDL controlled and uncontrolled type 2 diabetes groups, but the mean cholesterol and LDL levels were not different in the two groups.At uncontrolled type 2 diabetic we found that there was a significant correlation between the cardio risk index with Cholesterol (r= 0.3 p=0,004), triglycerides (r=0.5 p=0,001), and negative correlation cardio risk index with HDL (r= -0.5 p=0.012). There was no significant correlation between the cardio risk index with LDL (r=0.157 p=0.101). Conclusion: Hba1c and FBS are higher in uncontrolled type 2 diabetes accompanied by lipid profile and cardio risk index levels that are higher than expected values are the risk of complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Published: September 2022

Background: The long-term use of earphones at high volume levels is a major risk factor for noise-induced hearing loss. Aim: To compare the hearing of university students who use personal listening devices (PLDs) at extremes (upper & lower quartiles) with respect to a) Duration of use/day b) The number of years since use c) Volume level. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, College of Medicine, at Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University (IAU), from September 2021 to April 2022. An online survey was distributed among IAU medical students on the subjects’ patterns of earphone use. Forty participants volunteered to participate in the hearing tests: Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA), Tympanometry, and Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emission (TEOAEs) at the ENT clinic of the King Fahd Hospital of the University (KFHU).
Results: The pure tone audiometry and TEOAE showed no significant differences in the hearing thresholds/levels of participants in upper quartiles vs lower quartiles of both ears, in any of the PLD use pattern categories. However, in the TEOAE two observation were detected: a) Significantly lower amplitude in the upper quartile of the category “duration of PLD use/day” at a frequency of 1.0 kHz in the left ear (p-value 0.04) b) Significantly lower amplitude in the upper quartile of the category “volume of PLD use” at a frequency of 1.0 kHz in the left ear (p-value 0.03). Conclusion: The present findings suggest that hearing threshold/level and cochlear outer hair cells’ functions do not differ significantly in the participants belonging to the upper and lower quartiles of PLD use pattern (volume level, duration of use/day, and the number of years since use).
Medical Decision Making
Authors: Masic Izet
Published: September 2022

Everyday, doctors and individuals in the field of healthcare must make calculated decisions which have important consequences, impacting patients on the individual level, and communities and nations on a more global level. Healthcare professionals must at times make these choices with limited information, resources, and knowledge, and yet is is expected that these decisions are highly calculated and accurate. It is important to familiarise oneself with the exact definitions regarding medical decision making. Doing this allows us to delve deeper into more intricate options present within medical de-cision making.Simple put, a decision is a choice between two options. The person or entity conduct-ing that decision is the decision maker. The exact definition is (4) “Under the decision should imply some specific action which is selected from several variables or which satisfies the expectation that is previously set”. Many different factors and individuals may be involved in medical decision making, with varying consequences, according to different players and settings. For example, medical decision making is not, and cannot, be the same in the United States, as it is in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Of course, there are wide differences in GDP between those two countries, and differing ethical beliefs as well. These two small examples illustrate larger differences in financial and cultural factors that constitute differences in these two countries. A vital component of medical decision making is evaluation. Decision makers must concisely evaluate situations, in order to make better choices. For example, when examining a health care sys-tem, their decisions should consider the following questions, such as, what is the health status of the given population? What economic resources are at the disposal of our patients, and government? How effective is the current healthcare model that is already in place?Does the existing social sys-tem pay enough attention to the healthcare protection?Does the organisation structure of the healthcare system satisfy? Are the existing practice and the healthcare technologies secure, effective, and suitable? Are the planning, programming, determination and the choice of priority the ade-quate to the needs of people? How are the monitoring and evaluation of healthcare system quality organised(2)?These are a few examples of evaluation in medical decision making..
Newborn vaginal bleeding - Why to record?
Authors: Pedro Mariana , Caldas Marta , Penas Jorge , Bicho Anabela
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Neonatal menstruation is considered the most neglected uterine bleeding, but it was concluded to be a marker of fetal stress. It is more common in preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, and isoimmunization.¹ It has a prevalence of 5% in healthy newborns, which is lower in preterm newborns and higher in low birth weight newborns.²

Case description: A 6-days-old female born with 41 weeks of gestation presented a 2-day history of vaginal bleeding without other symptoms or history of trauma. Physical examination evidenced vaginal bleeding, without external lesions (fig.1). Complementary diagnostic tests were not performed. Following vigilance, vaginal bleeding was present for 6 days and stopped on the 10th day of life.

Discussion: Vaginal bleeding in the neonatal period results from desquamation of the endometrium, triggered by the decline in circulating steroid hormones. It often begins 3 to 5 days after birth and typically lasts up to 10 days³ - a chronology similar to the case presented. Some newborns with neonatal menstruation experience retrograde menstruation, which causes implantation of endometrial cells in the abdominal cavity, which may lead to an increased risk of early endometriosis. Newborns who have this complication should be evaluated so that an early diagnosis of endometriosis can be made in the future in children who begin with pelvic pain or severe menstrual pain.

TITLE: The Utility of Plasma N- Terminal Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT- Pro BNP) as a Biomarker to Differentiate Cardio embolic Stroke from Non-Cardio embolic Stroke.
PURPOSE: To measure plasma NT-Pro BNP in patients with acute ischemic stroke and investigate whether the plasma NT- pro BNP level can be a useful bio marker to differentiate cardio embolic (CE) stroke from non-cardio embolic (NCE) stroke or not.
STUDY DESIGN: In our analytic observational prospective study, 66 patients were enrolled within 24 hours of the onset of acute ischemic stroke and met inclusion and exclusion criteria.
METHODOLOGY: Plasma NT-pro BNP level was performed in each patient. Clinical observations were recorded on special performa designed for the study. They were classified in to four groups: Cardioembolic (CE), Large artery atherosclerosis (LAA), Small-vessel disease (SVD) and other subtypes according to TOAST classification. Study outcome was measured by applying appropriate statistical tests at the end of all patient enrolments.
RESULTS: Out of 66 patients, 21(31.81 %) were cardioembolic whereas 45 (68.18%) patients were in non-cardioembolic (NCE) group. The result showed that plasma NT pro BNP levels were significantly higher in CE group than NCE group (p value<0.001). The optimal cut off point for NT pro BNP levels to differentiate CE stroke from NCE stroke was > 594 pg./ml with 93.33% Specificity and 66.67% Sensitivity.
CONCLUSION: As plasma biomarker NT-pro BNP has a good sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for early identification of cardio embolic stroke.

Published: September 2022

W trakcie meczu koszykówki główne czynności ruchowe, które wykonują zawodnicy to: bieg, skoki, bieg sprinterski oraz zmiany kierunku biegu. Wymienione czynności ruchowe powinny stanowić główną treść testów sprawności motorycznej w koszykówce. Rzetelność oraz zdolność do wykrywania minimalnej zmiany sprawności (Minimal-Detectable Change – MDC) w próbach stosowanych w koszykówce były rzadko raportowane. Celem opracowania jest wypełnienie tej luki i próba zaprezentowania wyników rzetelności i MDC często stosowanych testów sprawności motorycznej w badaniach, ale u koszykarzy w kategorii ‘kadet’. W tym celu przeprowadzono badania w grupie 14 koszykarzy w wieku 15,3 ±1,04 lat. Przeprowadzono próby skoczności, biegu po linii prostej oraz biegu ze zmianą kierunku. Na podstawie wyników tych prób obliczono wskaźnik siły reaktywnej, pędu sprintu oraz wskaźnika utylizacji cyklu rozciąganie–skurcz. Rezultaty badań własnych ujawniły, że najwyższe wyniki rzetelności osiągnięto dla uśrednionych wyników z próby drugiej oraz trzeciej. Dobrą możliwość wykrycia minimalnej zmiany sprawności odnotowano dla wszystkich prób, z wyjątkiem wskaźnika utylizacji cyklu rozciąganie–skurcz były na akceptowalnym poziomie. Zastosowanie procedury w niniejszym badaniu może stanowić praktyczne wskazówki w celu analizy zmian sprawności motorycznej koszykarzy.

A estimativa da ancestralidade é uma das análises mais difíceis na Antropologia Forense, principalmente em um país como o Brasil que possui um elevado grau de miscigenação. Essa estimativa pode ser realizada pela análise do crânio, sendo este um elemento do esqueleto que mostra grande variabilidade em termos de características úteis para distinguir a origem geográfica dos seres humanos. O objetivo deste estudo foi compreender o atual estado do conhecimento que a literatura científica apresenta sobre a metodologia da estimativa de ancestralidade pela análise de crânios da população brasileira, mapeando quais métodos foram utilizados pelos estudos publicados sobre o tema, assim como discutindo os resultados obtidos por eles. Considerando as dimensões continentais do país e a grande variação das características da população. Estudos futuros que venham a incluir mais amostras das diferentes regiões seriam de grande valia no sentido de melhor compreender essa temática, assim como trazer referências que auxiliem na rotina da Antropologia Forense.
recepción de Don Quijote en China
Authors: Kaichian Chen
Published: September 2022

El Quijote no se introdujo en la cultura china hasta la revolución intelectual de principios del siglo XX, cuando el imperio se vino abajo. A partir de ese momento, aparecieron diversas traducciones de la novela cervantina, aunque fueran incompletas y no se realizaran directamente del castellano. Aun así, tuvo una gran acogida por parte de la población china, ya que la historia del Quijote trasciende los idiomas por su universalidad, atemporalidad e inmortalidad. A partir de los años cincuenta y sesenta se tradujeron otras obras de Cervantes y en 1982 se creó una nueva traducción del Quijote que supuso un enorme impacto en China, puesto que, desde entonces, hubo más interpretaciones profundas de la novela y el nombre del protagonista se difundió y se utilizó como sobrenombre para personas intrépidas y valientes. La historia de Cervantes caló tan hondo en el país oriental que, a finales del siglo XX, se creó un Centro Cervantino en la Universidad de Nanjing.

Amores y desamores cervantinos: entre la interpretación biográfica y la tradición literaria
Authors: Montero José
Published: September 2022

Las vicisitudes de la vida han sido y son fuentes de inspiración literaria, por lo que muchos autores han implantado hechos autobiográficos en sus composiciones, consciente o inconscientemente, y han creado obras magníficas. A pesar de que no se conocen muchos aspectos de la vida de Cervantes, dejó claro que la realidad más cercana y personal es la que debe servir de inspiración para escribir, y por ello muchos especialistas deciden dar por biográficos algunos datos que encuentran en sus escritos, arriesgándose a caer en errores. En este artículo se profundiza en diferentes teorías y propuestas de varios investigadores para apuntar ciertas intervenciones y comentarios de personajes cervantinos que, sin muchas dudas, aluden a datos biográficos del autor.
Cuatro sonetos quijotescos dedicados a Eulalio Ferrer
Authors: García Jambrina Luis
Published: September 2022

Eulalio Ferrer se erige como uno de los cervantistas más importantes y reconocidos de la Hispanidad, por lo que es conveniente recordar su figura y su trabajo de difusión del Quijote en el IV centenario del nacimiento de Cervantes. A partir de su exilio durante la Guerra Civil española y de sus experiencias en los campos de concentración, se refugió en el Quijote y sobrevivió gracias a su historia. La obra tuvo tanta importancia para él que la difundió en México, donde se exilió, e incluso en China, lo que ha dado pie a la mejora de las relaciones culturales entre la comunidad hispana y al reconocimiento de la novela en otros países. Por estas razones, se rinde homenaje a Eulalio Ferrer con este artículo y se recuerdan cuatro poemas de temática quijotesca dedicados a este cervantista por sus amigos los españoles Gerardo Diego y José Hierro y los mexicanos Rubén Bonifaz Nuño y Octavio Paz.
Menéndez Pelayo y la cultura literaria de Cervantes
Authors: Pérez Gutiérrez Francisco
Published: September 2022

Este artículo explica lo que don Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo pensaba de Miguel de Cervantes y su obra, refutando algunas afirmaciones sobre Menéndez Pelayo que no son del todo ciertas. Aunque no se considerara a sí mismo cervantista, supo ver el trasfondo del Quijote y se propuso analizar en condiciones al novelista. En este ensayo se muestran todas las afirmaciones sobre Cervantes de Menéndez Pelayo, algunas de las que Américo Castro no tuvo en cuenta a la hora de comentarlas. Menéndez Pelayo fue realista y criticó la creencia de que Cervantes era un genio idiota o inconsciente y siempre tuvo en cuenta el contexto histórico del escritor a la hora de hablar de su actitud y obra.
From graffiti to pixação

From graffiti to pixação. Urban protest in Brazil

This paper explores the hypothesis that the process of rupture in Brazilian graffiti writer’s subculture resulting in different groups - pichadores, pixadores and grafiteiros - took place in two different, though complementary, stages. The first stage is the commodification of graffiti by successive media campaigns and its penal control by the state. The second stage - which may be considered as a side effect of the first one - consists of the emergence of a new transgressive pixação movement. Instead of merely writing or tagging their signatures and messages on the walls of the city, they claim the freedom of usage of the urban space and contest the importance that property has in the late modernity context.

CAN BE COVID’19 CRISIS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE RENTAL APARTMENTS IN THEIR COMPETITION WITH THE HOTELS?
Authors:   Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, TROANCĂ Dumitru
Published: September 2022

The field of hospitality is very dynamic, even if, some trends are difficult to change. Despite some strategic alliances were made by the large hoteliers, small accommodation units managed to retain to a certain extent an important part of the market. During the peak periods of the season, their role is an important one, because they take over the demand that remained unsatisfied by the big hoteliers. In the off-season, however, their lives are not easy. However, in certain specific situations, such as this health crisis, small hoteliers can take advantage of certain opportunities. Moreover, the COVID’19 crisis has upset an industry in which, even so, things were not very clear. If, in the first months of 2020, it seemed that the entire hotel industry will be affected equally, it later proved that those who adapt faster and take advantage of the opportunities offered by various decisions of the authorities, will have, at least in the short term, an advantage. This paper aims to study the way in which Romanian consumers will choose between classic accommodation in hotels and rental apartments in a daily basis. Since COVID’19 crisis will force the entire tourism industry to move from mass tourism to small groups tourism, we also aim to anticipate if this niche of accommodation in rental apartments will be capitalized.
