What It’s Like Being A Midwife With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Authors: Spence Laura
Published: September 2023

Some women with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may go their entire lives without receiving a diagnosis. This diagnosis gap exists in part because the disorder was once assumed to mostly afflict men but also because women typically exhibit less socially disruptive symptoms than men.1 Most ADHD clinic referrals for nearly a century were for young, hyperactive boys.2 The data characterising boys’ behaviours served as the foundation for early diagnostic standards. Since hyperactivity was demonstrated to be the hallmark, only rarely were young females diagnosed. The primary symptoms of inattention that most girls with ADHD encountered did not meet the diagnostic criteria, therefore ADHD was thought to be a typically male condition. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) recorded that 99.7% of midwives in the UK are women, while 3.7% of midwives have disclosed a disability.3 This could be suggestive of high numbers of UK midwives working and living with undiagnosed (therefore untreated) ADHD. This article explores the personal experience of being a midwife with ADHD with guidance on how colleagues can be supportive of each other.
Can readers spot the AI impostor in healthcare writing?
Authors: Bourré Natalie
Published: September 2023

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) writing assistants in the healthcare industry is becoming increasingly prevalent. These tools can help medical writers to generate content more quickly and efficiently, but they also raise concerns about the accuracy and completeness of the information that is produced. This study investigated whether readers can distinguish between health-related texts written by humans and those generated by AI writing assistants. A survey of 164 respondents found that slightly more than half could correctly identify the source of the healthcare text. Differences between healthcare professionals and non-healthcare professionals were not statistically significant. Medical writers were better at recognising that a text had been written by an AI model than were non-medical writers (P<.05). These findings suggest that it is important for organisations to establish clear guidelines regarding the use of AI writing assistants in healthcare. The authors of health-related content should be required to identify whether their work has been completed by a human or an AI writer, and organisations should develop processes for evaluating the accuracy and completeness of AI-generated content. This study has several limitations, including the small sample size. However, the findings provide valuable insights into the need for organisations to develop clear guidelines for their use.

NEUROTOXIDADE NA REGIÃO DE RONDÔNIA E SUA CORRELAÇÃO COM A CONTAMINAÇÃO MERCURIAL DE SEUS AFLUENTES: UMA REVISÃO
Authors: Dos Santos Elaine de Jesus Barbosa , De Mesquita Elieth Afonso
Published: September 2023

O mercúrio é um metal que possui um alto potencial toxicológico. Danos neurológicos têm sido apontados em pessoas expostas ao mercúrio, como lesões no sistema nervoso central. O efeito neurotóxico do mercúrio se dá por sua capacidade de circular facilmente pelo organismo e devido à sua lipossolubilidade, que lhe permite atravessar a barreira hematoencefálica, acumulando-se, assim, no tecido nervoso e provocando danos. Uma vez que a população de Rondônia foi exposta, por décadas ao mercúrio devido pelo extrativismo mineral intenso e prolongado, sem a devida fiscalização, a problemática do estudo foi sobre a dispersão deste metal na água e sua constante ingestão por moradores da localidade e, se poderiam ter sido afetados de forma neurotóxica. A hipótese levantada foi que sim, uma vez que o mercúrio por inibir a síntese de um importante neurotransmissor, acetilcolina, podem ocasionar lesão no encéfalo. Neste sentido, foi realizada uma revisão sistemática em torno do assunto com o objetivo de verificar a correlação de danos neurológicos frente à exposição do mercúrio. Seguiu as revisões sistemáticas e meta-Análise (PRISMA). A pesquisa foi realizada em 3 bases de dados, incluindo, LiLACS, SciELO e PubMed. A estratégia de busca utilizou o descritor obtido em Português, "metilmercúrio", “mercúrio”, “neurotoxicidade”. De acordo com critérios de inclusão, concluídos para elegibilidade, 24 trabalhos foram inclusos no estudo. Nos quais foram verificados a relação da contaminação mercurial que indicam descompensação do SNA quando relacionado ao comprometimento cognitivo, como planejamento, memória operacional, tomada de decisões e inibição neuropsicológica laboral, bem como a menor habilidade no processamento auditivo e o déficit de memória visual. Estudos ainda apontam a depressão como uma das principais características da população intoxicada por vapor de mercúrio, mesmo após cessado o contato com o metal. Conclui-se que há necessidade de estudos longitudinais com acompanhamento periódico para avaliar o desempenho de cada indivíduo após ter cessado a exposição ao mercúrio, comparando seu desempenho com seus históricos anteriores, bem como a importância da identificação de fontes de Hg para mitigação, e níveis elevados de Hg em comunidades amazônicas.

Authors: Lubna Anis  , Sajid Irfan , Shoaib Ahmad  , Saida Haider
Published: September 2023

Background and Objective:

Choline is an essential nutrient related to vitamin B complex activity.  It can be received through different food sources. It is an important component of acetylcholine which is involved in different brain functions. The present study is designed to assess the behavioral effects of choline chloride in animal models.

Methods:

This case-control study was performed in the Department of Biochemistry, Federal Urdu University, Karachi for eight months from May 2022 to December 2022. Twenty-four adult male albino Wister rats were divided into four groups, one control and three test groups. Choline chloride dissolved in saline was given intraperitoneally at 25mg/ml, 50mg/ml and 100mg/ml to the test groups respectively, and saline was given to the control animals for two weeks. Memory and depression-like symptoms were monitored. Morris water maze and brain acetylcholine levels were used for memory functions and force swimming test was performed to monitor depression-like symptoms.

Results:

The present study showed significantly improving memory functions and increase in immobility time exhibited by choline-treated rats indicating depression-like symptoms in rats. The present investigation also shows that serum level as well as glucose level increase in dose dependent manners. Increased depression-like symptoms may be attributed due to onset of diabetes or increased glucose concentration.

Conclusion:

In conclusion choline administration at different doses (25mg/ml, 50mg/ml, and 100mg/ml) produces behavioral and biochemical effects in rats.

Published: September 2023

The condition known as paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) is among the most disabling examples of a cancer's remote effects. Serology for paraneoplastic antibodies, clinical suspicion, and a targeted search for malignancy all play a role in the diagnosis. Tests for neuronal autoantibodies aid in diagnosis and point the way for the search for malignancy. Unfortunately, even with an early diagnosis, existing therapeutic approaches only have little success. Here we present the case of a young male who developed cerebellar syndrome secondary to rectal neoplasia.
Analytical Techniques in Exploring the Persistent Global PFAS Problem
Authors: Hird Simon , Potts Warren , Rosnack Ken
Published: September 2023

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals with unique properties. They are used in a wide range of different industries because they repel water and oil, and they are heat-resistant. However, PFAS contamination has become a widespread global concern because of their ubiquitous occurrence, persistence in the environment and living organisms, and potential health risks. Governments around the world are continuously introducing and updating regulatory limits for PFAS in drinking water, other types of water, biota, and, most recently, food. Analyzing such a wide range of sample types for PFAS requires high sensitivity and selectivity, typically provided by methods based on advanced liquid chromatography–tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) instrumentation. However, one critical aspect to sampling and analyzing PFAS accurately is to avoid PFAS contamination during these processes. This paper emphasizes the significance of robust and reliable PFAS analysis to support efforts to mitigate the global PFAS crisis. Collaboration, research, and advanced analytical solutions are essential to safeguard food, water, and the environment, thusly reducing the impact of PFAS on public health and the environment.

Authors: Suh Steve , Kennedy David , Takahara Reika , Takayanagi Manabu , Hayashida Hiroshi , Shen Zhonghua
Published: September 2023

The authors evaluated a sampling and analytical system to measure differing modes of atmospheric per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) transmission. The sampling was conducted with the FM4 sampling module, which features particulate collection followed by polyurethane foam sorption followed by activated carbon disc adsorption, a configuration designed to capture PFAS-laden particulate matter (one-micron to ten-microns), as well as aerosol, volatile, and ionic PFAS species in a single sampling event. Individual sampling media fractions were subsequently analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS) and liquid chromatography coupled with tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) for 33 ionic and 20 neutral PFAS species. A multi-day field sampling event conducted in an outdoor urban environment demonstrated that the system was able to capture and differentiate a number of airborne PFAS species. The study showed that simultaneous, multi-phase sample collection coupled with GC–MS/MS and LC–MS/MS analysis can be a useful approach to further elucidate the mode and manner of atmospheric PFAS transmission.

Published: September 2023

Purpose: The core aim of this study is to explore and analyze the influence fashion shows have on the growth of textiles and fashion markets within the Kumasi Metropolis in Ghana. It aims to appreciate how these events stimulate creativity, encourage textile production, promote local fashion designers, and facilitate market expansion, all of which can boost economic development.

Methodology: The study used a quantitative explanatory design and a survey approach. A sample of 274 fashion designers was selected through a simple random method. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods, including correlational and multivariate OLS regression, were used to analyze the data.

Results: The findings of the study revealed that frequent participation in fashion shows positively influenced the fashion design innovation practices of fashion design firms and that the attendance of fashion designers at fashion shows stimulated various fashion design innovation practices, which in turn significantly influenced the sales of textiles and fashion products in the market. Implying that customers were more likely to patronize fashion products from designers who frequently attended fashion shows.

Conclusion: The exposure of fashion designers to fashion shows is reported to improve their comprehension of the concepts and, therefore, their innovative practices, which eventually enhance the sales performances of their products in the market.

Originality/Value: This study highlights the limited interest of academicians in investigating the link between fashion shows and the growth of Ghana’s textile and fashion industry. It further presents a unique analysis of the interplay between fashion shows and the growth of textiles and fashion markets in a region that has not been intensely studied before - Kumasi Metropolis in Ghana. It uncovers how fashion shows, by promoting traditional and contemporary Ghanaian designs and fabrics, have a crucial role in the commercial growth and international recognition of the Ghanaian textile and fashion sectors, underscores the significance of cultural preservation and promotion in driving economic development and highlights the potential for this model to be replicated in other sectors and regions across Africa.
Comparative Study of Mercury in Canned and Fresh Indian Oil Sardine Sardinella longiceps
Authors: Lad Devdatta , D’Souza Bliss Charles , Fernandes Benisha Estela Nellicia
Published: September 2023

Essential and non-essential heavy metals are two categories for heavy metals. Small amounts of essential heavy metals are required by the human body to ensure its proper operation. High concentrations can become hazardous and change how the biochemical mechanisms that keep the human body functioning normally. The human body does not require non-essential heavy metals like mercury (Hg), which can be harmful to human health. Mercury can come from both natural and anthropogenic sources. When polluted soil and organisms are consumed by aquatic species, mercury bioaccumulates in their tissues, and its concentration rises up the food chain. Within the marine ecology, fish are at the top of the food chain. The aquatic food chain often starts with fish, and fish organs and tissues are at the top of the hierarchy and accumulate large amounts of heavy metals. In particular, the liver, kidney, and gill organs store metals (loids) at the highest level, and this varies depending on the type of metal; nonetheless, muscle is extensively examined as it is the main part of fish consumed by people. The muscular tissue of canned and fresh Indian oil sardines (Sardinella longiceps) was examined in the current investigation to determine the buildup of mercury there. Utilising a spectrophotometric analytical approach, stannous chloride was used for the analysis. Mercury levels in canned and fresh sardines were found to be 0.09 and 0.10 ppm, respectively. Sardines have a known Hg concentration of 0.04-0.18 ppm at the non-predator trophic level worldwide, which is also the level at which sardines may be consumed. Thus, the present sardines under study from Mumbai region are found to be suitable for consumption.

Se sometieron a validación de contenido con 17 jueces expertos los 38 reactivos que surgieron del diseño de la versión inicial, utilizando el coeficiente RVC de Lawshe (1975), y como resultado se eliminaron 2 reactivos y se revisó la redacción de 3 de ellos, obteniendo un IVC=0.80. A partir del AFE y AFC, de la confiabilidad desde la TCT y del índice de discriminación desde TRI, la escala quedó conformada con base en el AFE por 36 reactivos distribuidos en 5 dimensiones: recursos y experiencias, seguimiento del alumno, organización de actividades, relación interpersonal y principios éticos. La escala explica 69.41% de la varianza, con una bondad de ajuste aceptable (χ2(460) =895.245, p<0.001). Esta estructura se corroboró con el AFC , donde se confirma el ajuste al modelo teórico a 5 dimensiones, (χ2(9) = 17.816 CMIN/DF= 1.986; NFI = 0.969, CFI = 0.984, RMSEA = 0.079, PCLOSE = 0.166). Se obtuvo la confiabilidad en cada una de las dimensiones con un coeficiente Alpha de Cronbach que fue de 0.899 a 0.926, y un coeficiente Omega de McDonald de 0.910 a 0.930. Todos los reactivos tuvieron un índice de discriminación mayores a uno al realizar el análisis desde la TRI. Es así como los reactivos que incluye la escala miden adecuadamente las prácticas de supervisión. Emplear un instrumento válido y confiable podrá facilitar la evaluación, formación y actualización de los supervisores para mejorar su práctica.
Socialiai pažeidžiamų asmenų kelias link aukštojo mokslo: kultūrino kapitalo reikšmė
Authors: Dilytė-Kotenko Asta
Published: September 2023

Lygių galimybių švietimo sistemoje užtikrinimas ir švietimo prieinamumas pripažįstamos kaip vertingos priemonės mažinti nelygybei visuomenėje. Aukštojo mokslo prieinamumui gali daryti įtaką įvairūs veiksniai: instituciniai apribojimai, asmens socialinis, kultūrinis, ekonominis kapitalai. Švietimo lauke itin vertinamas kultūrinis kapitalas (kultūriniai objektai, kalbos kodai, elgesio manieros, pomėgiai, aukštosios kultūros vertinimas). Kuo labiau asmens šeimoje suformuotas kultūrinis kapitalas atitinka švietimo lauko reikalavimus, tuo didesnę grąžą (išsilavinimą, pasiekimus) jis gauna. Asmenys, kilę iš žemas pajamas turinčių šeimų, tautinių mažumų grupių, turintys negalią, taip pat tie, kurie gyvena kaimo vietovėse yra socialiai pažeidžiami švietimo lauke, nes dėl negalios, lėšų stokos šeimoje, gyvenamosios vietos ar tautybės (su tuo susijusių kalbos barjerų) neturėjo galimybių įgyti kultūrinio kapitalo šeimos aplinkoje. Straipsnio tikslas – nustatyti, koks yra socialiai pažeidžiamų asmenų, pasiekusių aukštąjį išsilavinimą, kultūrinis kapitalas ir kaip jis vystėsi. Tam tikslui pasiekti atliktas tyrimas – pusiau struktūruoti interviu su socialiai pažeidžiamais asmenimis, pasiekusiais aukštąjį išsilavinimą. Tyrimo rezultatai rodo, kad informantų kultūrinis kapitalas mokymosi pradžioje neatitiko švietimo lauko reikalavimų. Švietimo laukas reikalavo iš informantų aktyvaus dalyvavimo pamokose, pastangų mokytis, tobulėjimo, gero mokymosi, mokyklos taisyklių laikymosi, visuomeniškumo. Mokymosi pradžioje informantai turėjo mažai kultūrinių praktikų ir objektų, jiems buvo sudėtinga suprasti mokyklos normas, taisykles. Kultūrinis kapitalas mokymosi eigoje vystytas per: bendras praktikas su draugais, draugų ir šeimos palankias mokymuisi nuostatas, aplinkinių pavyzdį ir paskatinimą, naudojimąsi savo aplinkoje esamais kultūriniais ištekliais, knygų skaitymą, piešimą, grojimą muzikos instrumentais. Informantai dėjo daug pastangų mokytis, neatsilikti nuo bendraamžių, kontroliavo savo elgesį,  slėpė savo socialinę kilmę, kad ji neišduotų jų kitoniškumo nuo bendraamžių, socialiniu aktyvumu demonstravo vertumą užimti aukštą poziciją švietimo lauke. Informantai formalaus ugdymo pabaigoje jau buvo pritaikę savo kultūrinį kapitalą prie švietimo lauko, nes jie gaudavo gerus įvertinimus, norėjo toliau tęsti mokymąsi ir studijuoti. Straipsnio rezultatai praplečia žinojimą apie kultūrinio kapitalo vystymo procesą, socialiai pažeidžiamų asmenų patirtį švietimo lauke.
Relationship Between Metacognitive Beliefs and Body Image Concerns in Primary Dysmenorrhea Intensity: The Mediating Role of Pain Self-Efficacy in Iranian Students
Authors: MohammadiPour Mohammad , Ashrafifard Somayeh , Mohammadipour Sajjad
Published: September 2023

Background: Given that primary dysmenorrhea can affect individuals' course of life and social activities, it is necessary to consider the role of related variables in its incidence and conduct more studies to take effective measures to reduce this pain. Objectives: This study aims to model the structural equations of the relationship between metacognitive beliefs and body image concerns with the mediating role of pain self-efficacy on the severity of primary dysmenorrhea. Methods: This study adopted a cross-sectional, descriptive correlational research design. A structural equation modeling method was conducted on 724 students studying in the first semester of 2021 - 2022. Questionnaires assessed menstrual pain severity, body image concern, pain self-efficacy, and metacognitive beliefs. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling, SPSS.25, and AMOS 24. Results: According to data analysis, all indices of fit were appropriate after modifications, and the model had a very good fit at the significance level (χ2/df = 3.619, CFI = 0.931, TLI = 0.910, NFI = 0.907, RMSEA = 0.060, 90%CI [0.053, 0.068], SRMR = 0.077). In examining direct pathways, metacognitive beliefs showed a direct effect on and a negative correlation with the severity of dysmenorrhea. The investigation of indirect pathways also confirmed the effect of metacognitive beliefs on the severity of primary dysmenorrhea with the mediating role of pain self-efficacy. The effect of the direct pathway of body image concern on the severity of primary dysmenorrhea was not significant and was removed from the model. On the other hand, as the examination of the indirect path showed, the effect of body image concerns on the severity of primary dysmenorrhea was mediated by pain self-efficacy. Conclusions: According to the findings, the promotion of mental health was effective in controlling primary dysmenorrhea. Hence, more attention to psychological issues is required through effective practical protocols to provide an introduction to menstrual health and the grounds for performance improvement in girls.

Poliment de vidre amb làser de CO2: gractament del feix i aplicació a grans superfícies
Authors:   , Armengol Cebrian Jesús
Published: September 2023

El treball que es presenta en aquesta tesis incideix sobre aquest aspecte clau en les aplicacions amb feixos làser d'alta potència: com obtenir distribucions d'intensitat que permetin generar tractaments tèrmics uniformes.
És convenient destacar que l'estudi dels processos d'uniformització/integració del feix que es realitza, té com objectiu desenvolupar una nova aplicació en el camp del tractament superficial dels materials: el poliment làser de grans superfícies de vidre. En aquest cas, la necessitat d'uniformitat en la distribució de temperatura encara és més gran degut al menor valor de la conductivitat tèrmica dels vidres en comparació amb la dels metalls o semiconductors.

Resumen
En nombrosos processos de modificació induïda per làser de les propietats d'una superfície (enduriment de metalls, formació d'aleacions, cristalització de semiconductors, etc...) és necessari que la temperatura de la superfície assoleixi durant el temps adequat, uns valors acotats en un interval molt estret. Per tant l'èxit de l'aplicació es fonamenta en aconseguir que la distribució d'intensitat del feix làser aplicada làser indueixi sobre la superfície de la mostra una distribució uniforme de temperatura.
Colonización fungica de lentes de contacto
Authors:   , Marqués Calvo M. Soledad
Published: September 2023

En la presente tesis doctoral se han estudiado los factores implicados en el proceso de colonización fúngica (adhesión e invasión) de lentes de contacto nuevas y procedentes de usuarios.

Para ello se ha diseñado una fase experimental en la que se han observado, mediante microscopía óptica, las lentes procedentes de usuarios a fin de determinar la presencia o ausencia de hongos. Cuando se detectaron, y para poder proceder a su identificación taxonómica, se procedió a la realización de cultivos.

Las lentes nuevas fueron cultivadas con diferentes cepas de hongos y se valoró la frecuencia y densidad de colonización según las condiciones de cultivo establecidas.

La caracterización morfológica de las diferentes especies fúngicas, experimentadas y encontradas, se realizó utilizando microscopía óptica, confocal y electrónica de barrido.

Los resultados obtenidos indican que: el 11,82% de las lentes procedentes de usuarios mostraban contaminación. Entre los hongos contaminantes encontrados se describen tres nuevas citas, Gliomastix, Humicola y Phoma. Así mismo, se ha establecido que únicamente las cepas 93150 de Candida albicans y 2700 de Aspergillus niger fueron cepas de colonizar las lentes nuevas.

Por otra parte, se ha comprobado que la composición de los medios de cultivo, su evaporación y las características quimicas de las lentes (ionicidad e hidrofilia), son factores que influyen en la frecuencia de colonización y en la densidad de las hifas invasoras.

Finalmente, la microscopía confocal por reflexión de luz ha permitido visualizar las colonias internas y su grado de penetración en el material de la lente.

Las conclusiones obtenidas representan una contribución al conocimiento de los fenómenos determinantes del desarrollo de hongos en los diferentes polímeros estudiados. Suponen, además, un avance en el campo de la contactología clínica y explican algunos de los problemas.

Authors: Maulidya Annisa , Oginawati Katharina , Suharyanto Suharyanto
Published: September 2023

This study was conducted to analyze the potential for human error that can cause workplace accidents in the cement industry of PT.X. The study was conducted by conducting observations, interviews, and distributing questionnaires in the mining area and production area. Questionnaires were distributed to 96 people who were mining heavy equipment operators and production operators. The research method used through Human Reliability Analysis with the Hierarchial Task Analysis (HTA) method, knowing the types of errors that occur using the SHERPA method, then calculating the probability of human errors that occur with the HEART method. Based on the results of research using the SHERPA method, the most common types of errors in mining areas and production areas are action errors (60,25%). The type of error that occurs is due to negligence in using personal protective equipment and the work process is not completed properly.

In the first chapter, I examine the effects of technology on diplomacy. In doing so, I will touch on the three concepts already mentioned above, and I will also try to touch on the individual diplomatic developments taking into account the case law. In the second part, I present the latest technological challenges affecting consular relations, focusing on the presentation of the Consular Service and the digitalization of consular relations.

Purpose: The objective of this work is to understand how teaching and learning in project management happens and what their challenges are.Design/methodology/approach: To achieve this objective, we developed a Systematic Literature Review about teaching and learning in project management. Initially, we found 667 works. After reading the title, we selected 150 works for a full reading. 120 were suitable for the proposed objective. Findings: We found five categories: (1) learning; (2) teaching; (3) education; (4) skills; and (5) knowledge. Originality/value: We observed that there are gaps in the studies dealing with these themes concerning project management. Topics such as management of learning processes, the relationship between learning in educational institutions and organizational environments, the impact of informal learning, experiential learning, comparison of serious games and simulations with other learning methods, serous games in projects, hard skills, and soft skills, are still not widely published in academic journals on project management.

Foram encontradas revistas, projetos, cartilhas e documentos norteadores que abordam a temática. A questão que norteou o estudo foi compreender as discussões sobre sexualidade diante do movimento de autogestão e autodefensoria, que poderão servir à (re)construção do pensamento crítico e ao desenvolvimento de políticas, protocolos, recursos, programas e procedimentos que contribuam com a discussão e entendimento da sexualidade. A partir do levantamento de cinco categorias temáticas, foi possível identificar discussões sobre sexualidade, sexo, gênero e relação sexual, segurança, abuso, vida afetiva, namoro e casamento, direitos sexuais, masturbação e preconceito. Os estudos destacam a importância de trazer ao centro dos debates as percepções da sociedade e famílias, a educação em sexualidade e o direito da pessoa com deficiência de se expressar e vivenciar sua sexualidade, em um processo de desenvolvimento contínuo, por toda vida.
