Published: March 2024

A tuberculose (TB) é uma doença infecciosa causada principalmente pelo agente Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (Mtb), que possui uma interação única com o sistema imunológico, passando para a fase ativa apenas em consideráveis deficiências imunológicas. O tabagismo é um dos principais fatores que predispõem ao desenvolvimento da doença, pois o tabagismo prejudica a defesa imunológica e facilita a manifestação da fase ativa da TB. Às vezes, o hábito de fumar leva os indivíduos a abandonar o tratamento da tuberculose, que é quase sempre curável. Objetivo: Avaliar a relação intrínseca causada pelo sistema de fumar no processo de desenvolvimento da tuberculose. Metodologia: Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática, utilizando três bancos de dados, Scielo, Pubmed e BVS (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde), que utilizaram o filtro para selecionar os artigos da LILACS e Medline. Uma pergunta central foi feita: como as interações do tabagismo com o sistema imunológico contribuem para o desenvolvimento da forma ativa da infecção por Mycobacterium Tuberculosis? Além de quatro questões secundárias: como o fumo interfere no sistema imunológico? Quais são os mecanismos de interação do sistema imunológico e o desenvolvimento da TB? Como o tabagismo contribui para o aparecimento da tuberculose? Como o uso passado de tabaco contribui para um prognóstico “ruim” para o paciente com TB? Posteriormente, foram reunidos os critérios de inclusão e exclusão e, ao final, foram analisados 17 artigos, de 2002 a 2018, abrangendo inglês, português e espanhol. Resultados e discussão: O tabaco duplica a chance de contrair tuberculose. Com o sistema imunológico competente, o Mtb é restrito a um granuloma, o complexo Ghon, que é um acúmulo de leucócitos. LTCD4 e IFN-gama, combinadas com TNF-alfa, essas células e citocinas são as principais responsáveis pelo controle do Mtb. Além disso, os cigarros afetam negativamente a produção de citocinas e a expansão clonal do LTH1, prejudicando a entrega de uma resposta imune competente ao Mtb. Conclusão: Portanto, percebeu-se que as substâncias do cigarro exercem influência prejudicial no sistema imunológico, prejudicando o controle da Mtb no granuloma e favorecendo a disseminação da infecção.

Relationship between functional movement screen scores and postural stability in football players: An asymmetrical approach
Authors: MAKARACI Yücel , NAS Kazım , GÜNDÜZ Kerem , İLERI Mehmet
Published: March 2024

Introduction: Unilateral preference is dominant due to the intensive use of sport-specific movements in football. However, little is known about the possible correlation between unilateral functional movement and the center of pressure-based postural performance. The main aim of this study is to examine the correlation between functional movement screen (FMS) and postural stability in football players from an asymmetrical perspective. Materials and Methods: Fifty professional football players (male n = 25; age 21.40 ± 1.94 years; female n = 25; age 21.04 ± 1.24 years) volunteered for this study. All subjects completed a FMS test consisting of seven items and postural sway measures for dominant and non-dominant sides. Spearman’s correlation and the Mann-Whitney U-test were used for statistical processing. Results: A negative correlation was found between dominant and non-dominant sides FMS in scores and postural sway parameters in both male and female groups (p < .05). Hurdle step (HS) and rotary stability (RS) proved to be strong predictors of postural stability for both groups (p < .001). No significant differences were observed between dominant and nondominant sides in FMS items and postural sway parameters in both groups (p > .05). Conclusions: The correlation of the FMS and postural sway measures may be useful to identify possible postural problems in football players. Therefore, the FMS test may be preferred by practitioners and physiotherapists.

Os psicólogos, no fim do século passado, sacudiram o jugo da Filosofia para estabelecer a Psicologia como Ciência Exata. Tal tentativa contribuiu, sem dúvida, para enriquecimento dos conhecimentos detalhados a respeito do homem. Por outro lado, produziu-se também notável esfacêlo e segmentação. Hoje em dia, assistimos, a um movimento em sentido inverso. “Não parece difícil colhêr, na confusão e aparente oposição das doutrinas e das escolas, um traço comum, que caracteriza bem “a Psicologia” contemporânea em seu conjunto: o princípio da totalidade”. O têrmo “personalidade” torna-se uma espécie de bandeira comum para os psicólogos que procuram ver e estudar o homem como unidade. Sem dúvida, são ainda inúmeras as definições de “personalidade”; mas podemos descobrir uma fórmula subjacente comum: personalidade é o fundamento estrutural das maneiras de agir e reagir que caracterizam o indivíduo...

Published: March 2024

This particular study investigates the adhesive effect of corporate spirituality on Organizational internal-external strategies and its overall influence on Organizational sustainability. The study is governed and examined through the lens of organizational learning and also spirituality leadership theory. The research stems from the context of oil and gas firms from a developing Country (Nigeria) and it takes a quantitative approach, employing 30 pilot survey data from the research setting. The results found that corporate spirituality has a significant positive effect and it strengthens and moderates the relationship between Organizational internal-external strategies and the sustainability of Oil and Gas firms. Yet, the reality remains that even in leading Organizations that recognize the importance (directly or indirectly) of corporate spirituality and purpose, the concept seems to be slightly neglected and underappreciated. This study stands to enhance (with empirical evidence) the examined relationship, especially in Oil and Gas firms, which is a sector going through a turbulent phase globally in terms of sustainability. Ultimately, the study promotes corporate spirituality values among Organizations, which will subsequently result in the development of a suitable and resilient model towards sustainable performance.

This study delved into the comprehensive analysis of aquaculture farming in Delta State, specifically focusing on the financial viability and technical efficiency of cluster operations. As aquaculture plays a crucial in meeting global seafood demands, understanding the dynamics at the regional level become imperative. The study employed a multifaceted approach to assess the financial viability of aquaculture farming, technical efficiency of aquaculture production. By adopting a cluster based perspective, the research aims to unravel the intricacies of collaborative farming operations, identifying synergies that contribute to enhanced financial outcome. Insights garnered from this financial evaluation can provide stakeholders with strategic guidance for sustainable economic practices within the aquaculture sector. The research draws on a diverse set of data source, including financial records, production metrics, focus group discussions and questionnaire distributions. Statistical tools and econometric models are applied to quantify the relationships between various variables, providing a clear understanding of the factors influencing technical efficiency and financial Findings from this study showed that the price of labour, price of fish feeds and price of medicine had a significant effect on efficiency of aqua farming with a coefficient of 0.5468**,-0.7862**, -0.8896** respectively. The result of the technical efficiency , (25.0%) falls within the 0.71 - 0.8 range, indicating a high level of technical efficiency of aqua farmers. This is followed by those in the 0.31 - 0.4 and 0.51 - 0.6 ranges, each with 11.2% of farmers. In contrast. The result of the BCR showed a significant variation in profitability highlights of aqua farming operations in the study area are more financially rewarding, with a net return on investment (ROI) of 0.58. However, the technical efficiencies and productivities of aqua farmers in clusters were significantly high regardless of how biases were corrected, implying that participation in cluster group is positively related to increases in aqua farmers output.

Hudud punishment is a legal system based on religion and is applied in several countries that adhere to Islam. This punishment is included in the category of very harsh punishments, such as stoning, flogging, and amputation. In this context, this abstract aims to investigate the influence of Hudud Punishment on the formation of legal awareness and crime prevention in society. This study uses a descriptive-analytical method which involves secondary data analysis in the form of literature, research reports, and case studies that are relevant to the themes discussed. The findings of this study demonstrate the complex and multi-dimensional influence of Hudud Punishment on legal awareness and crime prevention in society. In this context, legal awareness and effective crime prevention do not only depend on a strict legal system, but also require a holistic and comprehensive approach. In the context of Hudud Punishment, the need for a broader approach can include efforts to increase legal education, promote ethical and moral values, and empower communities in facing legal challenges. Overall, this research highlights the importance of considering broader factors in shaping legal awareness and crime prevention in society. Strict legal systems such as the Hudud Penalty can play an important role in providing a deterrent effect and reducing crime, but they also pose complexities and challenges that need to be overcome. In facing this challenge, an approach based on a deep understanding of law and human values is the key to achieving better legal awareness and preventing crime in society.
Are Municipal Politicians Ideological Moderates?
Authors: Lucas Jack
Published: March 2024

For more than a century, practitioners and researchers have often argued that municipal politicians are more ideologically moderate than their national counterparts. Testing this claim requires direct comparison of politicians who represent similar constituents but who are elected at different levels of government, but comparative data of this sort are rarely available. Here, I take advantage of new data from surveys of Canadian municipal, provincial, and federal politicians to provide a robust test of the "municipal moderation" thesis. Comparing politicians' symbolic ideological self-understandings (N=3,000) as well as their latent policy ideologies (N=775), I find strong evidence that municipal politicians think of themselves as more ideologically moderate, but are not more moderate in their actual policy preferences. I further show that these differences disappear when non-partisan local politicians are excluded from the analysis. My results reinforce recent research suggesting that municipal politicians may hold non-ideological cultural norms but are embedded within an ideological electoral and policymaking context. My analysis also illustrates the potential for "vertical" rather than "horizontal" comparative research designs to illuminate important debates in local and urban politics.
An inventory of phreatomagmatic volcanoes in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt
Authors: Schliz-Antequera Mélida , Siebe Claus , Salinas Sergio , Lerner Geoffrey
Published: March 2024

The formation of phreatomagmatic volcanoes (PVs) usually involves small volumes of magma but also very violent eruptive activity. Along the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB) the basic conditions that favor water-magma interaction are provided by the presence of frequent small-volume monogenetic volcanism and several inter-montane lacustrine basins. The TMVB is a Plio-Quaternary continental volcanic arc dominated by >3000 monogenetic volcanic structures with only ~3% being the result of phreatomagmatic eruptions. Around 70% of these are clustered in three specific areas within volcanic fields in Valle de Santiago, Serdán-Oriental, and Los Tuxtlas. Here we investigate the low frequency of PVs and their selective locations and whether local environmental conditions play an important role in their formation. An inventory of 103 PVs within the TMVB has been compiled, including tuff cones, tuff rings, and maar-diatremes. The inventory contains morphometric parameters for each structure along with data regarding geological (internal) and environmental (external) parameters of the areas where the PVs are built. The magmatic flux is the first-degree influence in the formation of PVs. Different combinations of environmental parameters have a secondary-degree influence which varies spatially and temporally related to paleoclimate, hydrology, and hydrogeology. A couple of environmental parameter sets are met more often, reflected in the areas with clustered PVs, but less frequent sets of parameters are also detected, reflected in the scattered PVs. Morphometric correlations allow for a clear differentiation between the group of tuff cones and the group of maar-diatremes and tuff rings. In both groups elongated and compound shapes are more frequent. Very often, human settlements are built around or inside PVs. However, their shapes and relatively small size can be misguiding regarding the hazard that this type of volcanism represents, especially in the absence of knowledge about the conditions that result in these type of eruptions. This inventory allows for the study of the many different conditions and places in which a phreatomagmatic eruption could occur, providing a better base of information to prepare for future eruptions.
The rise of mechanical metamaterials: Auxetic constructs for skin wound healing
Authors: Lecina-Tejero Oscar , Pérez María Ángeles , Garcia-Gareta Elena , Borau Carlos
Published: March 2024

Auxetic materials are known for their unique ability to expand/contract in multiple directions when stretched/compressed. In other words, they exhibit a negative Poisson’s ratio, which is usually positive for most of materials. This behavior appears in some biological tissues such as human skin, where it promotes wound healing by providing an enhanced mechanical support and facilitating cell migration. Skin tissue engineering has been a growing research topic in recent years, largely thanks to the rapid development of 3D printing techniques and technologies. The combination of computational studies with rapid manufacturing and tailored designs presents a huge potential for the future of personalized medicine. Overall, this review article provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on auxetic constructs for skin healing applications, highlighting the potential of auxetics as a promising treatment option for skin wounds. The article also identifies gaps in the current knowledge and suggests areas for future research. In particular, we discuss the designs, materials, manufacturing techniques, and also the computational and experimental studies on this topic.

Innovative materials are needed to produce scaffolds for various tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) applications, including tissue models. Materials derived from natural sources that offer low production costs, easy availability, and high bioactivity are highly preferred. Chicken egg white (EW) is an overlooked protein-based material. Whilst its combination with the biopolymer gelatin has been investigated in the food technology industry, mixed hydrocolloids of EW and gelatin have not been reported in TERM. This paper investigates these hydrocolloids as a suitable platform for hydrogel-based tissue engineering, including 2D coating films, miniaturized 3D hydrogels in microfluidic devices, and 3D hydrogel scaffolds. Rheological assessment of the hydrocolloid solutions suggested that temperature and EW concentration can be used to fine-tune the viscosity of the ensuing gels. Fabricated thin 2D hydrocolloid films presented globular nano-topography and in vitro cell work showed that the mixed hydrocolloids had increased cell growth compared with EW films. Results showed that hydrocolloids of EW and gelatin can be used for creating a 3D hydrogel environment for cell studies inside microfluidic devices. Finally, 3D hydrogel scaffolds were fabricated by sequential temperature-dependent gelation followed by chemical cross-linking of the polymeric network of the hydrogel for added mechanical strength and stability. These 3D hydrogel scaffolds displayed pores, lamellae, globular nano-topography, tunable mechanical properties, high affinity for water, and cell proliferation and penetration properties. In conclusion, the large range of properties and characteristics of these materials provide a strong potential for a large variety of TERM applications, including cancer models, organoid growth, compatibility with bioprinting, or implantable devices.

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a severe psychiatric condition featuring autonomic nervous system dysfunctions, detectable with abnormal heart rate variability (HRV). This is a promising biomarker, but its dynamics over an acute episode of mania or depression, the two polarities of BD, are poorly understood. Studies of intra- individual HRV changes in BD cannot afford to recruit more than only few dozen patients, as collecting this kind of data is very resource-intensive. This makes the ground treacherous for frequentist statistical analyses. Unlike previous studies, we therefore took a Bayesian approach, as more suitable for quantifying uncertainty in small samples. Specifically, we developed an interpretable probabilistic model of HRV changes over the course of an acute BD episode, using the natural logarithm of the Root Mean Square of Successive RR interval Differences (lnRMSSD) as HRV measure. Patients with BD were recruited at the onset of an acute episode, either mania or depression, and had three-to-four follow-up assessments up to euthymia. Conversely, previous studies used just two assessments, which prevents adequately modelling change. During each assessment, lnRMSSD sleep values were recorded with a wearable device and symptoms’ severity was assessed with clinician-administered questionnaires. A model allowing the lnRMSSD rate of change with respect to symptoms’ improvement to vary across polarities was no better fit than a model disregarding polarities. Strong evidence emerged for a positive lnRMSSD change over the episode’s resolution (probability of positive direction = 95.175%), but sample size limited ascertaining the magnitude of this effect (95% Highest Density Interval of [-0.0366-0.4706] with a Region of Practical Equivalence of [-0.05, 0.05]). In conclusion, improvements in BD symptoms are associated with an increase in lnRMSSD but these changes do not appear to be influenced by the episode polarity.
A Rational Trade-Off Between the Costs and Benefits of Automatic and Controlled Processing
Authors: Mittenbühler Maximilian , Schwöbel Sarah , Dignath David , Kiebel Stefan J. , Butz Martin V.
Published: March 2024

The Stroop effect suggests that humans arbitrate between automatic and controlled processing. Previous work argues that this arbitration reflects a cost-benefit analysis, weighing cognitive effort against performance. However, it is unclear how these costs and benefits can be quantified and how the trade-off between them can be performed. We present a Bayesian network model of the Stroop effect in which actions are selected by minimizing variational free energy. Based on this approach, we derive information-theoretic measures of the costs and benefits of both automatic and controlled processing and show that minimizing free energy optimizes the trade-off between them. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the so-called congruency and proportion congruency effects in the Stroop task are the result of this optimization, in an environment that contains specific statistical regularities. Thereby, we provide an explicit account of when and how much automatic and controlled processing should be expected under a rational trade-off.
When is a Word in Good Company for Learning?
Authors: Unger Layla , Chang Tyler A , Bergen Ben , Savic Olivera , Sloutsky Vladimir
Published: March 2024

Although identifying the referents of single words is often cited as a key challenge for getting word learning off the ground, it overlooks the fact that young learners consistently encounter words in the context of other words. How does this company help or hinder word learning? Prior investigations into early word learning from children’s real-world language input have yielded conflicting results, with some influential findings suggesting an advantage for words that keep a diverse company of other words, and others suggesting the opposite. Here, we sought to triangulate the source of this conflict, comparing different measures of diversity and approaches to controlling for correlated effects of word frequency across multiple languages. The results were striking: while different diversity measures on their own yielded conflicting results, once nonlinear relationships with word frequency were controlled, we found convergent evidence that contextual consistency supports early word learning.

Published: March 2024

The current study explores synergies between climate change policy instruments and agriculture sector, reviews identified gaps and understands the translation of policy instruments at local level in five sample municipalities of three ecological regions. Understanding the adaptation actions and knowledge on implementation practices at household level is as the objective of this study. It adopted qualitative research approach using both primary (KII, FGD and household survey) and secondary data (review of existing policy documents) based on qualitative document analysis, (QDA). The study found that, policy and programs formulation at national and sub-national level in different period, are designed within the same setting from national to local level but there is divergence in programs formulation and implementation methods. Capacity and understanding of policy instruments has resulted different policy output which implicate farmers’ response to implementation practices. It is found that municipal authorities are implementing climate friendly agriculture programs without explicitly declaring climate action. The farmers are practicing autonomous adaption in agriculture with limited understanding and technical knowledge of long term climate change effect on farming. This has resulted maladaptive practices, which has contested planned climate change adaptation plan and programs. It devaluates the effort and resources spent by national and international institutions on CC policy instrument formulation and implementation. The need of field based demonstrative understanding and awareness campaigns for smallholder farmers is anticipated. It concludes that, flexibility of policy instruments through regular improvements and modification aids context-specific localization provide custom solutions. The custom solution match the traditional and existing adaptation practices assuring ownership at ground level.
Role of English Language for Business Activities at the Present Era of Global Marketing
Authors: Chhetri Deependra Jaisi
Published: March 2024

In this era of globalization, English is an essential language for global business and marketing. When we discuss "globalization," either explicitly or implicitly, the English language is brought up. People all across the world use English for reading, writing, and speaking. An estimated 2 billion people speak English, which is recognized as an official language in several nations. English is a subject that many schools and organizations around the world require pupils to take. Additionally, it is a key topic in college-level courses. Communication in trade, education, and business is frequently conducted in English. It is referred to as the lingua franca or the universal tongue. To participate in the international job and research markets, one must be able to speak and write English. The majority of significant books and films are written and produced in English as their primary language. As a result, we learn more about the English language and appreciate it more. The results of this study demonstrate that during the time of British colonial rule, the English language has played a key role in education and economic operations all over the world. In order to travel or study abroad in the modern world, English proficiency is a requirement. With the information and communication procedures that individuals utilize to interact in this era of globalization, writing competence in English is crucial. As a result, the goal of this essay is to highlight the significance of writing in proper English and several reasons why mistakes can be made while writing business communication documents. Also, this is a qualitative study, and the technique of data collection involved some writing assignments, followed by interviews with some bachelor level students of Baglung. Writing faults in the students' work were discovered by an essay exam. The flaws are analyzed, and the need of learning grammar principles is addressed. A small number of researchers' publications are examined to support this research report. This research is unique in terms of value.
The Pre-History of White Feminism in Amatory Fiction
Authors: Adams Julianne
Published: March 2024

This article reads amatory fiction through the image of white women’s tears, and it argues that amatory fiction assists in eighteenth-century racialization by idealizing a feminine affect that mobilizes passivity for status. A spectacle of sympathetic attention, white women’s tears exemplify the affective work of white feminism, which singularly analyzes power through gender. Lacking intersectionality, white feminism upholds white supremacy and enables constituents to wield gender oppression self-servingly. This article locates and deconstructs that affective dynamic in Delarivier Manley’s “The Wife’s Resentment” (1720), Penelope Aubin’s “Conjugal Duty Rewarded” (1721), and Eliza Haywood’s “Female Revenge” (1727). These retellings of heroines navigating adulterous lovers depict feminine virtue as passive and essentialize this virtuous passivity within the logic of whiteness. This narrativization victimizes the heroine and purchases her sympathy, which protects her virtue and maintains the heteropatriarchal standards that initially threatened her. This genealogical consideration reframes the affordances of amatory fiction within hegemonic affect.
Eighteenth-Century Proud Boys; or, Why Sir Charles Grandison is (a) No Wanker
Authors: Gevlin Rachel
Published: March 2024

This article links Samuel Richardson’s final novel Sir Charles Grandison (1753) to the twenty-first-century Proud Boys in order to examine seriously the implications of two often overlooked aspects of both: Grandison’s virginity and the Proud Boys’ “No Wanks” policy. This policy, which limits members’ masturbation, can serve to elucidate the sexual politics of Grandison, as both the modern-day men’s rights group and the eighteenth-century novel valorize male sexual restraint as a form of domestic dominance. This article argues that Grandison’s idealization of male sexual restraint reinforces the portrait of male virility for which Richardson’s earlier novels were criticized, rendering the virile male protagonist palatable to readers of the domestic novel’s courtship plot. The valorization of restraint exhibited by Richardson’s hero and the Proud Boys advances a sublimated understanding of male virility that works to solidify the fiction of sexual essentialism that still permeates our culture today.
Designing Truth between Manuscript and Publication: The Eighteenth-Century French Vision of Peru in Marmontel’s Les Incas (1777)
Authors: Ficek Agnieszka Anna
Published: March 2024

This essay interrogates the tensions between historical fact and colonial fiction in Jean-François Marmontel’s Les Incas, ou le destruction de l’Empire du Pérou (1777). Through this study of deleted passages and publisher notes in the 1776 manuscript of the novel (Houghton Library, Harvard University), Marmontel’s concern with verisimilitude, truth, and objective reality belies the fantasy of conquest and the myths of American Indigeneity that are central to eighteenth-century French understandings and imaginings of the Inca Empire and the American continent as a whole. Politically, the novel served a dual purpose: to vehemently denounce the Spanish conquest of the Americas and to subversively critique the “fanaticism” of the ancien régime in the years leading up the 1789 Revolution. Across the Atlantic, the novel was read by generals of the Latin American Wars of Independence, and it shifted from an allegorical text to a direct call for revolution. Despite Marmontel’s aim of creating a philosophical and historical novel, Les Incas perpetuates the hegemonies and hierarchies of colonialism, falling back onto well-established tropes. In choosing what was considered in Europe as “exotic” as a vehicle for political critique, Les Incas maintains and reinforces the very systems against which the revolutionaries of the late eighteenth century fought.

Published: March 2024

La pequeña y mediana empresa (Pyme) ha sido en los últimos años el centro de atención de numerosos trabajos, debido fundamentalmente a su gran capacidad de generación de empleo, así como al papel primordial que juegan como generadoras de riqueza. Esto ha permitido un mayor conocimiento sobre sus características y sus relaciones con el entorno económico. No obstante, las Pyme siguen necesitadas de fundamentos operativos que, de forma continua, pongan de manifiesto su problemática y sus estrategias al objeto de facilitar la toma de decisiones, tanto desde un punto de vista de política interna de la empresa para su gestión, como de política nacional o internacional, para determinar y fijar programas de actuación acertados y con suficiente tiempo de anticipación. La existencia de debilidades de carácter estructural que padecen las Pyme sigue afectando a su supervivencia y mermando su competitividad. Así, la globalización de los mercados, la aceleración del cambio tecnológico y el desarrollo de nuevos sistemas de información y comunicación, unidas al escaso hábito de gestión del conocimiento y del capital humano, la dificultad para la captación de capitales ajenos a largo plazo, la menor cualificación de empresarios y empleados, las dificultades de localización e infraestructura, y la complejidad para incorporar las innovaciones tecnológicas son, entre otros, aspectos que dificultan y limitan el desarrollo de la Pyme.
EXPANDING THE BOUNDARIES OF JURISPRUDENCE IN THE ERA OF TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS
Authors: Khan Asif , Muhammad Abid Hussain Shah Jiliani
Published: March 2024

In the current era of advanced technology, the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data presents intricate challenges in the technical and doctrinal aspects of law and the fundamental principles of jurisprudence. Addressing this challenge entails three potential approaches: reevaluating the independent status of specific foundational categories, reconfiguring the interpretation of such categories, or steadfastly defending and enhancing our understanding of specific classifications. The reconstruction of the essential concept of "law" remains uncertain and necessitates further deliberation. Although the new technological era has not introduced entirely novel jurisprudential dilemmas, it has reconsidered existing perspectives. Swiftly and effectively responding to these challenges becomes paramount in seizing fresh opportunities for the independent advancement of Chinese jurisprudence. The purpose of the study is to push the boundaries of jurisprudence by exploring and addressing legal issues arising in the era of technological advancements. The qualitative research methodology has been applied in this article.

Diagnóstico e tratamento de ameloblastoma acantomatoso canino
Authors: Rodolpho Silvia Regina Fonseca dos Santos , Hanai-Yoshida Valquíria
Published: March 2024

Odontogenic tumors are common neoplasms in the canine oral cavity, with ameloblastoma being one of the most frequent and aggressive benign odontogenic tumors. These tumors arise from developmental abnormalities in ameloblasts, cells responsible for enamel formation. The gold standard diagnosis is histopathological examination, and treatment typically involves surgical removal of the neoplasm. The specific surgical technique (e.g., mandibulectomy or maxillectomy) depends on the extent of bone involvement.

Published: March 2024

The purpose of this article is to substantiate the need for conducting cytological forensic research in the criminal investigations.

Materials and methods. An investigation of regulatory, legal documents, and scientific publications was conducted using keywords in the international electronic databases PubMed, Embase, and Scopus. This review, coupled with statistical analysis and generalization, aimed to evaluate forensic cytological studies performed between 2020 and 2023 at the Kyiv City Clinical Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination. Results. The results obtained revealed an upward trend in the number of forensic cytological studies conducted in recent years. Notably, studies of subungual contents, injury tools, and hand washings comprised the majority of the work, accounting for 76% of the total. Changes in the ratio are due to the fact that in recent years, the number of examinations of washings from the hands and washings from the place of the accident has increased. In the reporting year, the number of objects (washes from the penis, bed linen, clothes of suspects, condoms, napkins) for sexual crimes increased. In 2023, the number of sexual crime investigations quadrupled. To preserve crucial evidence, investigators may now directly collect swabs from suspects' genitals within medical institutions. Previously, this procedure could be lengthy, especially if the crime occurred on a weekend, potentially leading to the loss, degradation, or destruction of evidence.

Conclusion. Employees of law enforcement agencies constantly emphasize the relevance, scientific validity, evidentiality of cytological studies in the investigation of criminal crimes. The increase in the number of forensic cytological studies indicates the need for a cytological department in the structure of the forensic medical service. Conducting cytological forensic research is necessary to increase the informativeness and objectivity of the expert's conclusions in cases of complex study of microtraces of blood, isolated cells, particles of damaged tissues and organs on injury instruments, in the contents of the nail, and other material evidence in the investigation of criminal crimes.
