This pioneering study explores the intersection between Neurotourism, defined as the integration of neurosciences in tourism, and the perception of tourism Brand Personality (BP) through the advanced use of psychophysiology techniques, specifically Eye-Tracking (ET) and Galvanic Skin Response (GSR). It analyses how tourism destination brand logos/combination marks and images generated by artificial intelligence (AI) influence consumer attention and emotional response. Focusing on the five dimensions of BP proposed by Aaker (1997) - sincerity, excitement, sophistication, competence, and ruggedness - this study highlights significant differences in how men and women process and react to brand values associated with specific cities. Employing a rigorous methodological approach and the application of non-parametric statistical analyses, the findings reveal distinct patterns of visual attention and emotional responses across genders, emphasising the importance of considering BP in the marketing and design of tourism destination brand logos/combination marks. This work not only advances theoretical understanding of tourist consumer behaviour but also offers relevant practical implications for tourism marketing and destination management.

Published: May 2024

In the last years, the use of Dried Blood Spots (DBS) as alternative sampling technique is reaching an increasing interest in the antidoping field. The collection of DBS is performed from small volumes of capillary blood lied on adsorbent support (e.g.cellulose) and let to dry. Compared to the conventional urine or blood collection, this technique presents several advantages as the sampling is less invasive, rapid and does not required specialized personnel to be performed. It also facilitates transport and storage, reducing the costs. Conversely, the reduced sample volume available could represent a limitation and requires the use of highly sensitive instrumentation. This work presents a multi-class screening method for 100 compounds belonging to different groups of the World Anti Doping Agency prohibited list, including anabolic agents, beta-2 agonists, hormone and metabolic modulators, and diuretics, among others. DBS samples for method development were obtained depositing 20 µL of venous blood and letting them to dry on cellulose cards. The whole DBS spot was then punched out and extracted with organic solvents prior to the analysis by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The methodology was validated for qualitative purposes. Different parameters were evaluated. The vast majority of the compounds could be reliably detected at sub-ng/mL level. Satisfactory results were obtained in terms of recovery, precision and robustness. Also, matrix effects were negligible for most compounds, as expected considering the low volume of sample analyzed. As a final validation step, DBS samples collected after administration of boldenone, oxandrolone and tamoxifen to healthy volunteers were analyzed. The method showed good performance and robust results, making it fit-for- purpose for its application in sports drug testing.

The social changes related to gender identity that have been taking place in recent years have a notable and growing impact on sports practice. The incorporation of people with sex reassignment, transsexuals, and intersex (different sexual development) in sports competition raises issues that until now were very rare and relevant but that are currently causing doubts, debate, and controversy. The Spanish Society of Sports Medicine (SEMED), aware that this issue has important repercussions, both on the professional practice of physicians who care for athletes, and on the health of the athletes themselves, understands that it is necessary to deepen the knowledge of the sports practice of people with sex reassignment, transsexuals and intersexuality and considers it appropriate to make an official position on this issue. This work addresses sex reassignment, transsexuality, and intersexuality, shedding light on their definitions, their prevalence, and the differences in sports performance between men and women. He also considers it important to make a reference to the forms of classification in sport, as well as the role of androgens (testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, DHT) in sport. It analyzes the sports participation of people with sex reassignment, transsexuals and intersexuals since the emergence of the Caster Semenya case to end with the positioning of the Spanish Society of Sports Medicine and the recommendation on actions proposed to the sports authorities on addressing the sports participation of people with sex reassignment, transsexuals, and intersex from the perspective of the functional, injury and incentive consequences of women's sports practice.

Authors: Nanjappan Vidhya Shankari , K. Senthil Kumar , Duraisamy Senguttuvan
Published: May 2024

Background: The survival of very low birth weight babies has significantly improved in recent years. Postnatal growth has an impact on neurodevelopment and hence identifying the risk factors that curb growth is crucial.
Methods: We did a retrospective cohort study over 3 months in our NICU studying 40 very low birth weight babies. Our objective was to observe the time taken to regain birth weight and study the risk factors affecting postnatal weight gain.
Results: Among the 40 babies studied, 22 babies had significant delay in regaining birth weight. Risk factors such as birth weight, birth asphyxia, parenteral nutrition, respiratory distress syndrome, surfactant requirement, patent ductus arteriosus, necrotizing enterocolitis, sepsis, hyperbilirubinemia, anemia had statistically significant association with delay in regaining birth weight.
Conclusions: Many studies have established a linear correlation between postnatal growth velocity and neurodevelopmental outcome. Ascertaining and managing the factors affecting weight gain in very low birth weight babies is essential and challenging part and anticipating the risk factors in advance helps us to achieve desirable weight gain in these babies.

Authors: Vernekar Sowmya , Bylappa Arun Y. , Kinhal Uddhav , Shivappa Sanjay K.
Published: May 2024

Background: In epilepsy management, control of seizures is the prime objective and reduction in seizure frequency is the main goal for successful treatment. There is a high prevalence of neurobehavioral problem. Hence, there is a need to screen, and intervene. Aim was to identify the neurobehavioral profile and the impact on children with epilepsy
Methods: After IRB clearance, 100 consecutive school-aged children 4-17 years with normal IQ attending epilepsy clinic were enrolled as cases, and 102 age, gender and socio-economic status-matched children without epilepsy were chosen as controls. The strength and difficulties questionnaire are administered to both groups. It addresses five domains: emotional, conduct, hyperactivity, and peer problems which contribute to the total difficulties score, and fifth dimension prosocial behaviour.
Results: Among the children with epilepsy, emotional issues were observed in 41%, conduct issues in 67%, hyperactivity behaviour in 54%, and peer problems in 64% while pro-social behaviour was only 27%, and total difficulty score was 60%, which was statistically significant with p<0.001 in all domains when compared to control. The impact of the disease was 73%, home environment was affected in 67%, classroom learning 45%, 28% in leisure activities, and 10% in friendship, which was statistically significant with p<0.001 in all domains when compared to control. 
Conclusions: We have identified emotional, conduct, hyperactivity and peer problems having significant impact on children with epilepsy. Hence a screening in various behavioural domains helps in early identification and prompt intervention of neurobehavior.

Published: May 2024

Background: Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) is very common in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) intubated patients and also responsible for major morbidity and mortality. Usually, it develops after 48 hours of mechanically ventilated patients, its incidence increases as the duration of time increases and it is a major risk factor for VAP. The present study was carried out to know the overall incidence of VAP in mechanically ventilated patients in PICU.
Methods: The study was carried out in PICU of the department of pediatrics, B. R. D. Medical College, Gorakhpur from October 2020 to October 2021. Patients aged between 1 year to 15 years were included in the study.
Results: There were 50 (59.5%) patients’ male and 34 (40.5%) patients’ female under investigation. The clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS) values ranged from the mean value of 4.38±2.30 at 36th hours to 7.33±1.92 at 96th hours of intubation. VAP was present in 23 (27.3%) patients while 62 (73.8%) patients were having no VAP. Among VAP associated patients, 14.3% were Acinetobacter positive, 5.95% were Klebsiella positive and 3.57% were E. coli positive.
Conclusions: Parameters of CPIS associated with VAP revealed that Acinetobactor was comparative more common organism and the age group of 1 to 5 years was more sensitive. VAP can be reduced by decreasing the duration of mechanical ventilation.

Authors: Johnson Derrick John , Bandari Balakrishna , Bachina Prashant
Published: May 2024

Background: To identify the biochemical, haematological, and serological laboratory parameters and establish associations between mortality risk and children with severe dengue fever (DF).
Methods: This retro-prospective study included 251 children who were dengue serology positive, aged between 1 month and 18 years, hospitalized in paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with severe dengue illness from July 2019 to June 2021. Clinical, laboratory, and radiological data were extracted from hospital's electronic database and analyzed.
Results: The majority had a mean age of 5.46 years with a significant female predominance (58.2%). Also, 80.1 per cent of children presented in the critical phase with an average PICU stay of 3.59 days. There was a significant mortality risk associated with presenting day of illness (risk 9.5%), ventilation requirements (risk 29.8%), and stay of more than a week in the PICU (risk 36%), with that of the severity of outcomes. The odds of increased mortality risk were associated with prolonged PICU stay exceeding a week and ventilation requirements by 10.03 and 20.19 times respectively. Investigation-wise, abnormal liver enzymes on admission such as SGOT (OR 5.39, p>0.0001); and serum SGPT (OR 5.54, p<0.001) were significantly associated with poorer outcomes. Interestingly, neither thrombocytopenia nor leucopenia was found to be a true marker of mortality and the overall mortality rate was found to be 8.4% (n=21).
Conclusions: Any stay of more than a week, abnormal liver enzymes on admission, and ventilation requirements were all associated with higher mortality risk and potential predictors for poor clinical outcomes in the PICU.

Published: May 2024

Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) is a rare presentation as cause of neurological weakness in children and is neurological emergency. The most commonly affected site in children is cardiothoracic region. Early management is associated with better functional outcomes. We report a 5-year-old girl who presented with long standing neck pain now presenting to emergency with torticollis and right arm weakness around shoulder joint. Magnetic resonance imaging of C-spine revealed posterior epidural hematoma that extend from C3/C4 level down to C6/C7 level, it is causing moderate spinal canal stenosis and mass-effect on the spinal cord, with mild intramedullary abnormal T2 signal intensity indicating myelomalacia. There were no predisposing factors in our patient. Epidural hematoma was drained surgically and post-surgery patient started showing neurological recovery on follow. Cases of spontaneous SEH have been reported in infants as well and the clinical features in children are often nonspecific leading to a delay in diagnosis.  This case report aims to raise awareness about this neurological emergency, in which early intervention is crucial.

Published: May 2024

Hematohidrosis is a rare disorder involving the spontaneous excretion of sweat contaminated by blood cells. We reported the case of an 8-year-old girl with unusual painless bleeding from her fingertips with no underlying disease or psychotic disorder. On examination, it disappeared as soon as it was wiped without leaving any sign of trauma and reappeared within a few seconds. Her secretions were confirmed as blood with a benzidine test and blood components were observed on microscopic examination of the fluid. Thus, a diagnosis of hematohidrosis was made and her symptoms decreased after treatment with oral propranolol.

CORPO E CORPOREIDADE: A CONSTRUÇÃO DA UNIDADE EM 1COR.
Authors: Dias Marcela de Jesus
Published: May 2024

A comunidade cristã em Corinto é marcada pela efervescência de dons, mas também pelas divisões internas e por outros problemas de ordem moral e social. Foi pela necessidade da unidade que Paulo orienta aos coríntios em como agir diante das diversidades. Baseado nisto nos deparamos com a metáfora do corpo para fundamentar a unidade da ekklesía nos seus conflitos em Corinto. O método é bibliográfico em três níveis: histórico, literário e teológico. As perícopes de 1Cor 1.10-17; 3.1-9, 18-23; 11.17-34 e 12.12-27 informam os problemas e nos propõe soluções práticas como luz aos conflitos, tanto para as divisões no contexto dos dons, quanto para os grupos de 1Cor 1-4 e na ceia do Senhor de 1Cor 11.17-34. A reflexão de Paulo acerca de Cristo se estende a igreja como seu corpo, ele declara “vós sois o corpo de Cristo” (1Cor 12.27), e seu corpo não pode estar dividido! Os textos vencem a distância do tempo e se atualizam no meio eclesial.

Published: May 2024

Pessoas em sofrimento psíquico têm recebido diversas terminologias ao longo do tempo, de forma a gerar questionamentos sobre como a sociedade as representa e as diferentes nomenclaturas atreladas a elas, propondo-se aqui uma perspectiva pautada na Teoria das Representações Sociais como base teórico-analítica. Realizou-se um estudo de campo, não experimental, com abordagem quali-quantitativa dos dados, de caráter transversal e com uma amostra de 377 participantes. Foram utilizados como instrumentos um questionário sociodemográfico e a Técnica de Associação Livre de Palavras. Destaca-se que, dentre os termos pesquisados, o que aparenta suscitar menos preconceito é “Pessoa em Sofrimento Psíquico”, seguida por “Portador de Transtorno Mental”, enquanto “Louco” e “Doente Mental” pertencem a um mesmo patamar mais vinculado à exclusão social. Apesar dos avanços advindos da Reforma Psiquiátrica, os resultados encontrados e discutidos revelam a necessidade de novas reflexões sobre a saúde mental, para além das mudanças terminológicas.

The Menacing Grip of Gangs in Romeo and Juliet:A Literary Evidential Analysis
Authors: A.Alhajeri Noura
Published: May 2024

Often admired for its portrayal of young love, William Shakespeare and his “Romeo and Juliet” tragedy likewise delve into the menacing impact and theme of gang violence. This research considers how Shakespeare uses the violent clashes in the play to expose the social and family structures of his time, the renaissance, highlighting the impact of gang mentality on districts and families. Through a qualitative, historical, and literary methodological approach, the research takes a close look at the key scenes in the play, the consequences of the territorial fights, and the behavior of the characters to prove that that gang violence is behind the deaths of the protagonists. The prime discovery revealed that the feud between the Montagues and Capulets reflected and are crucial to impact both society and inner family safety. The findings suggest that Shakespeare uses gang violence as a powerful metaphor to explore how rivalries can negatively impact both unity of a community and individual destinies. This research serves in attempting to bond both classical literature and modern social concerns, relating tactics and recitals, as a novel way to view, break down, and prove the historic existence of gang violence.

Rapid Establishment of a Regeneration System for Astragalus membranaceus Mongholicus
Authors: Li Xiaojie , Mu Yingtong , Zhang Xiaoming , Wang Junjie
Published: May 2024

Background: Astragalus membranaceus Mongholicus (Astragalus) is one of the most widely used medicinal plants in the world. It is a traditional Chinese medicine plant that has been used to treat various human diseases and conditions, such as inflammation, gastrointestinal bacterial infections and malignant tumors. With the expansion of artificial planting areas, the demand for high-quality Astragalus seedlings is also increasing. The traditional seedling-raising methods of direct seeding and induced callus have problems such as a long growth period, unstable genetic traits, strict sampling and rooting difficulties. Therefore, it is very important to multiply the excellent germplasm by optimizing the tissue culture regeneration system. Methods: In this study, Astragalus field cultivated plants, which are easily available, were used as materials and the method of tissue culture cuttings was used to select the direct inoculation method of stem segments as explant materials to establish a plant regeneration system of Astragalus and the best sampling period, sampling site and optimal medium for regeneration of field cultivated plants were screened. Result: The best sampling period for plant regeneration of Astragalus in the field was about 40 d after the emergence of the 3-year-old Astragalus and the rooting rate of the regenerated plants was 100.00%. The best sampling site is the middle section of the stem and the regeneration system using the middle section of the stem as the explant is better than using the top and bottom of the stem as the explant and the rooting rate of the regenerated plants is 100.00%; the best medium for the regenerated plants is N22: 1/2MS+1 mg/L NAA and T28: 1/2MS+1 mg/L ABT, the rooting rates were 76.67% and 96.67%, respectively. The regenerated plants established with the stems of the field cultivated plants of Astragalus as explants were all able to induce seedlings after 1 week and the regenerated seedlings start to take root after 3 weeks of growth and can be transplanted and propagated after 6 weeks of culture. The regeneration system established in this study by direct cuttings from cultivated Astragalus stems is more rapid and efficient, breaking through the difficulties of limited access to material and long growth period of regenerated seedlings in the traditional regeneration system and providing technical support for the conservation and utilization of wild resources of Astragalus and rapid expansion of new varieties and germplasm conservation.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a much-researched functional gastrointestinal disease. The diagnosis and finding personalized therapy is a lengthy process. Our study aims to find out about the IBS patient’s search for solution: what specialists they turn to, what therapies they tried with what results, how strictly they follow specialists’ instructions, when do they start looking for a solution themselves, how much they trust the different specialists and what they think about their chances of recovery. We looked for volunteers with IBS disease on social platforms. From 45 volunteers, 27 submitted their responses to our survey. The results were evaluated with statistics done in Excel and SPSS: Pearson’s chi square, Fisher’s exact, standard deviation and distribution. Summary of results: there is a significant relationship between the onset of symptoms and the time when patients turn to a physician. With regards to the relationship between therapies applied and their efficacy on remediating symptoms, there was no significant relationship. Similarly, there was no significant relationship between strictly following the indications and their opinion about chances of recovery.

Recognition and support of outstanding students are among the most important tasks of higher education, as they can thereby be motivated to pursue a career in academia. In our study, we examined the willingness of members of the Talent Management Program (DETEP) at the University of Debrecen to participate and present at scientific student conferences. Our research was based on a questionnaire survey. The sample consisted of respondents who had previously participated in local TDK conferences (n=128). Based on our results, we can conclude that students who have participated three or more times in TDK events are considering a future career in academia. Respondents who have participated only once mainly participate for the purpose of the competition According to the results between achieving the ranking and the experience of participating in the TDK, participation is experienced as a positive experience if they manage to achieve a ranking at the local conference. Additionally, achieving a ranking also affects the feeling of gaining an advantage during studies and faculty recognition among the respondents.

Of the democratic political system, plural profile civic organizations are essential components. A special feature of the bottom up organized civic organizations, with increasing number after the change of regime in Hungary, is the strong correlation with/dependency from the subsidies. In 2003 a comprehensive, application based subsidy system was introduced (National Cooperation Fund (NCF) in English, Nemzeti Civil Alap, NCA,in Hungarian)), and this one now called Nemzeti Együttműködési Alap (NEA) provides support for approximately 10% of the organizations of the civic sphere by providing finance for operational and program-related costs. From the beginning the system has changed considerably, and currently, it provides even pre-financed subsidy for the prepared organizations. Through the available, related statistics our study aims to highlight some specialities of the subsidy system in a way which is different from the usual program calls. The essay revals that currently available data, sources can only be assessed with considerable cautiousness, and it also details that although reqirements of the access did not really change, still the year of 2024 without the compensation will have an impact on the predictability of this subsidy form.

Celem opracowania jest przedstawienie, nieznanych dotąd szerzej badaniom historycznoliterackim, trzech listów z lat 1844–1845 Jana Czeczota (1796–1847), filomaty, poety, folklorysty i byłego zesłańca, do dalekiego krewnego Adolfa Kobylińskiego (1816–1894) z Cieszewli (powiat nowogródzki, gubernia mińska), światłego i patriotycznego ziemianina oraz kolekcjonera pamiątek historycznych.
Edycja korespondencji, z uwagi na niepełność publikacji źródeł epistolograficznych i zadowalających ustaleń dotyczących biografii Jana Czeczota w tymże okresie, poprzedzona została dwoma, dość obszernymi tu, rozdziałami, z których pierwszy ustalać ma zakres i zasady badań odnoszących się do przyszłych poszukiwań archiwalnych, uzupełniających bardzo skromny jak dotąd zespół listów Jana Czeczota po jego powrocie z zesłania w ojczyste, nowogródzkie strony. Natomiast rozdział drugi, na który złożyły się dwa podrozdziały — ukaże się w następnym tomie „Prac Literackich” — zbiera i przedstawia, podane przed laty drukiem, materiały dotyczące sylwetek korespondentów z Nowogródczyzny. Ze względu na fragmentaryczność edycji źródłowych oraz dotychczasowych badań historycznoliterackich, część ta stanowić może, jak zakłada autor niniejszego artykułu, przynajmniej kontekst do przyszłych rozważań dotyczących wymienionych postaci oraz geografii literackiej, historycznej i kulturowej tych lat. Po uzyskaniu zaś szerszej bazy epistolograficznej przedłożona praca będzie też przydatna w kolejnych ustaleniach dotyczących życia i twórczości Jana Czeczota, tak aby poszerzać mogła naszą wiedzę o świecie wciąż mało znanych nam lat i dawnych bohaterach ziem szlacheckiej Nowogródczyzny.

Um diálogo entre Dialética Negativa, de Theodor Adorno, e "O alienista", de Machado de Assis
Authors: Restom Débora Garcia
Published: May 2024

Este trabalho propõe-se estabelecer um diálogo entre o procedimento denominado por Theodor Adorno “dialética negativa”, explicitado sistematicamente no livro de mesmo nome (ADORNO, 2009), e os procedimentos estéticos utilizados no conto “O alienista”, de Machado de Assis, publicado no livro Papéis avulsos, de 1882. Tendo em vista que arte e filosofia dão respostas diferentes à ordem unitária imposta pelo conceito ao objeto, intenta-se respeitar a especificidade de cada uma neste diálogo. Em “O alienista”, enfoca-se a mimese artística, já que a arte, ao apontar para o objeto, prejudica a racionalidade com que apreendemos a realidade; na Dialética Negativa, enfatizam-se os questionamentos à insuficiência do pensamento conceitual efetuados a partir do próprio conceito. Ao final, aproxima-se a autorreflexividade da narrativa machadiana ao “esforço de ir além do conceito por meio do conceito” que Adorno propôs à filosofia (ADORNO, 2009, p. 14).

Ray’s Theory of Transcultural Caring Dynamics in Nursing and Health Care: A Significant Cultural Resource
Authors: Ray Marilyn A.
Published: May 2024

The aim of this article is to present the theoretical model with the description of Ray’s theory of Transcultural Caring Dynamics in Nursing and Health Care. The theory is a significant cultural resource to address issues related to sociocultural determinants of health; contemporary issues of diversity, inclusivity, equity, and social justice; and the health challenges emerging in the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Ray’s five-part dimensional theoretical design (caring, transcultural caring ethics, transcultural organizational phenomena, and universal sources [religious values and traditions]) facilitates awareness, understanding, and choice to meet the transcultural caring needs of all people.

Spiritual Care: Determining the Need, Providing the Care
Authors: McDonald Karma L.
Published: May 2024

Watson’s theory of human caring was the conceptual framework that underpinned this study. Nurses understand the importance of spiritual care and consider spirituality important when caring for patients; however, minimal education in spiritual care is provided. Although nurses recognize the need to provide spiritual care to patients, many do not feel that they received educational courses to prepare and support them in providing spiritual care. Health care educators and nurse leaders may use the study findings to develop resources to increase nurses’ perceptions of spiritual care that may ultimately impact nurse–patient, nurse–leadership performance satisfaction, and work relationships.
