Published: September 2024

Se presenta un estudio exhaustivo sobre la utilización de Instagram por parte del periodismode verificación (fact-checking) a nivel global. En concreto, se analiza el uso de los formatos que permiteesta plataforma (fotografía, álbum y vídeo) y su efecto en dos indicadores clave del engagement: likes ycomentarios. Se analizaron mediante estadística descriptiva e inferencial todas las publicaciones de todoslos verificadores pertenecientes a la IFCN emitidas hasta octubre de 2023 (n=95631; 80 verificadores de 49países). Se observan diferencias notables en la utilización de los formatos por regiones mundiales. A nivelglobal, el formato tiene un efecto mayor en el número de likes que en los comentarios. Los fact-checkerslatinoamericanos y asiáticos realizan un mejor aprovechamiento de la plataforma, ya que explotan en mayormedida los formatos más efectivos en el impulso tanto de likes como de comentarios. Donde se aprecianlas desviaciones más notables entre utilización y engagement de los formatos es en Europa: es mayoritarioel uso de la fotografía única a pesar de que es el formato que menor número de likes y comentarios recibe.Aunque en términos generales la utilización del formato álbum impulsa notablemente ambos indicadores, sedetectan desviaciones significativas en el funcionamiento del engagement en las distintas regiones, lo quedemuestra su carácter contextual y la dificultad de establecer pautas generales para impulsarlo.

Urodynamic and Frequency-Volume Chart Parameters Influencing Anticholinergic Resistance in Patients With Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity
Authors: Akarken Ilker , Tarhan Huseyin , Sahin Hayrettin
Published: September 2024

Purpose: Neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDOA) is characterized by involuntary detrusor muscle contractions during bladder filling in patients with neurological disorders. Anticholinergic therapy is the primary treatment; however, the reasons for treatment resistance in NDOA are not well understood. This study aimed to identify predictors of treatment failure by comparing urodynamic and frequency-volume chart data between patients with NDOA who respond and patients who do not respond to anticholinergic therapy.Methods: We reviewed the records of 362 patients presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms and selected 85 who had NDOA and were on anticholinergic therapy. Ultimately, 67 patients were analyzed. We categorized these individuals into responders (group R) and nonresponders (group NR) based on clinical and urodynamic improvements. Three-day frequencyvolume charts and urodynamic study results were retrospectively reviewed.Results: Of the 85 initial patients, 12 refused medication, and 6 were lost to follow-up. Pre- to posttreatment changes differed significantly between groups in the number of urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) episodes per 24 hours (P=0.001), maximum cystometric capacity (mL, P=0.003), NDOA frequency (P=0.004), and bladder compliance (mL/cm H2O, P=0.003). Multivariate analysis revealed that NDOA frequency (P=0.014) and UUI episodes per 24 hours (P=0.002) were significant factors associated with treatment failure.Conclusions: NDOA varies according to underlying neurological conditions. The frequencies of UUI episodes and NDOA in urodynamic studies can predict resistance to initial anticholinergic treatment.
Serious Games as a Therapeutic Tool in Pediatric Urology: A Review of Current Applications and Future Directions
Authors: Park Hyung Jun , Kim Eun Joung , Kim Jung Yoon
Published: September 2024

This paper examines the use of serious games that integrate engaging gameplay with educational and therapeutic benefits with a particular focus on their application in urology. The study reviews both domestic and international cases to evaluate the current practices and implications of these digital therapies. While serious games have been widely utilized in the treatment of pediatric cancer and psychiatric disorders—areas that require long-term care and management—their application in urology, in particular pediatric urology, has been limited. Although digital therapies like serious games are still emerging in the field of urology, they hold promise as effective supplements to traditional treatments while offering new options for managing a range of urological conditions. Pediatric conditions such as bedwetting, urinary incontinence, and dysuria, which often benefit from long-term training and habit formation, are particularly well-suited to this approach. By helping pediatric patients better understand and manage their symptoms, serious games can play a supportive role in the treatment process and have shown positive medical outcomes. This paper reviews the definitions and therapeutic effects of serious games, analyzes their current use in the medical field, and argues for their increased application in treating pediatric urinary conditions.

BIODEGRADATION OF TOTAL PETROLEUM HYDROCARBON FROM OILFIELD WASTEWATER USING BACTERIA CONSORTIUM
Authors: Obire O. , Aleruchi O. , Emmanuel O. O.
Published: September 2024

Oilfield wastewater poses significant environmental risks due to high levels of total petroleum hydrocarbons. Biodegradation offers a promising solution for mitigating these risks. This study intended to biodegrade total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) present in oilfield wastewater (OFWW) through the utilization of a mixed bacterial culture. Bacteria were isolated from OFWW and included Morganella morganii, Pseudomonas xiamenesis, Staphylococcus sp, and Chryseobacterium cucumeris. Initial TPH concentration was 381.87 mg/L in 125 ml OFWW. Bacteria were added (6.25 ml) to separate flasks, combinations varied from two to four bacteria, with a control lacking bacteria. Flasks were incubated at 28°C, 200 rpm. TPH was analyzed using Gas Chromatography at days 1, 7, and 21. By day 21, the removal of TPH recorded highest percentage removal of 96.8 % in the mixed culture using three bacterial species of Morganella morganii + Pseudomonas xiamenesis + Chryseobacterium cucumeris, followed by the mixed culture of four (Morganella morganii + Pseudomonas xiamenesis + Staphylococcus sp + Chryseobacterium cucumeris) which recorded 96.2% removal and the mixed culture of  Morganella morganii + Chryseobacterium cucumeris recorded 92.8%. The bacterial treatments exhibited high efficacy in degrading individual hydrocarbons, within 21 days. This suggests that the bacterial consortia were able to degrade most hydrocarbon compounds, but some recalcitrant compounds like C9 and C14 may require further degradation time or specialized enzymes.

Learning the stochastic dynamics of biological matter
Authors: Ronceray Pierre
Published: September 2024

The dynamics of biological systems, from proteins to cells to organisms, is complex and stochastic. To decipher their physical laws, we need to bridge between experimental observations and theoretical modeling. Thanks to progress in microscopy and tracking, there is today an abundance of experimental trajectories reflecting these dynamical laws. Inferring physical models from imperfect experimental data, however, is challenging and currently remains a bottleneck to data-driven biophysics. In this talk, I will present a set of tools developed to bridge this gap and permit robust and universal inference of stochastic dynamical models from experimental trajectories. These methods are rooted in an information-theoretical framework that quantifies how much can be inferred from trajectories that are short, partial and noisy. They permit the efficient inference of dynamical models for overdamped and underdamped Langevin systems, as well as the inference of entropy production rates. I finally present early applications of these techniques, as well as future research directions.

Em estreita simbiose com a arquitetura e a decoração de interiores, a meio caminho entre as "belas-artes" e as chamadas "artes aplicadas" (mosaico, vitral, tapeçaria, ... ), a pintura decorativa conheceu um significativo incremento em sua valorização no Brasil do primeiro período republicano. Mas, seria possível delimitar o que era então entendido como "pintura decorativa"? Através da referência a exemplos paradigmáticos, pretendemos aqui apontar algumas características recorrentes do gênero que podem ajudar a responder tal questão.

Authors: Paschal Jackson , Mayala Nyanjige , A. Lamu Amos Amembah
Published: September 2024

The study explored how Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies (SACCOs) enhance debt management literacy among members in Moshi Municipality, guided by Financial Socialization Theory. Using a convergent design under a mixed methods approach, the target population included nine SACCOs, 13,053 clients, and 20 employees. A sample of 3 SACCOs, 100 customers, and 5 managers was selected through simple random, stratified random, and purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected via questionnaires for customers and interviews for staff members. Validity was ensured by presenting the instruments to research experts, and a pilot test involving 35 participants assessed reliability, with Cronbach's alpha calculated at 0.95, indicating high reliability. The findings revealed that SACCO members generally acknowledge the organizations' role in promoting debt management skills. However, perspectives varied on the effectiveness of the training provided. The study recommended that SACCOs empower members to manage their cash flow better, offering practical knowledge and skills for debt and cash flow management. In conclusion, it emphasized the importance of SACCOs in equipping members with the necessary tools to improve their financial literacy and debt management capabilities.

Published: September 2024

The small tuna known as the Atlantic bonito (Sarda sarda) is one of the most important fishery species of the Black Sea coast of Türkiye. In this study, we sought to define some population parameters of Atlantic bonito based on indirect ageing using length frequency distributions. The aim of this study is to provide data that will serve the management of bonito fishery. For analysis, the ELEFAN routine in the LFDA and FiSAT programs was utilized. During the migration period, we collected 2110 samples from purse seine and gillnet fishing in the Black Sea waters of Türkiye. The fork length varied between 13.1 and 60 cm, and the female to male ratio was 1:0.79. The length-weight relationships (LWRs) were calculated W=0.0037FL3.3784 and Fulton’s K:1.01±0.001. The growth was found to be positive allometic (Student’s t-test, p < 0.05). von Bertalanffy Growth Parameters (VBGP) were computed as L∞:71.59 cm, K:0.56 year-1, t0:-0.18 year. The seasonal oscillation in growth rate was calculated (C: 0.98) and winter point (WP): 0.54, growth performance index of Ø’: 3.46, natural mortality (M: 0.74 yr-1), fishing mortality (F: 2.81 yr-1), total mortality (Z: 3.55 yr-1) and exploitation coefficient (E: 0.79 yr-1). As a result of it was found that the exploitation rate on the S.sarda along the Black Sea
Navigating organic farming challenges with farmer-led entrepreneurial innovations in the U.S. Mid-South
Authors: Mukembo Stephen , Srivastava Garima , Hendrickson Mary , Clark Kerry , Redhage David
Published: September 2024

Agricultural production is fraught with risks and uncertainties. However, unlike conventional agriculture, where producers have a variety of options to mitigate risks around diseases, pests, and poor-quality soils, organic farmers face limitations on the use of synthetic chemicals and fertilizers. These challenges have contributed to the low adoption of certified organic production particularly in the Lower Midwest and Mid-South of the U.S. as compared to other parts of the country, such as the Upper Midwest and Northeast. Recently, there has been growing interest in entrepreneurship and innovations happening in the agricultural sector, but our literature review re­vealed that there is limited research on entre­pre­neurship and innovations among certified organic farmers, particularly in the Mid-South region, in­cluding the states of Arkansas, Ken­tucky, Mis­souri, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. In this paper, we em­ployed a hybrid thematic analysis, integrating both deductive and inductive ap­proaches, to examine the entrepreneurial innova­tions used by certified organic farmers to address regional-specific chal­lenges affecting their opera­tions. We used Schum­peter’s perspective on inno­vations to categorize farmer innovations. Our findings reveal that farm­ers have demonstrated remarkable pro­activity and innovativeness in tack­ling regional production chal­lenges. They have done so by diversifying their products and services, improving production pro­cesses, creating new marketing strategies, and rein­venting their farming. Through these approaches, farmers have created fresh op­portunities for their enterprises. However, despite significant individual farmer innovations, there are system challenges for these producers. Our find­ings suggest an entrepre­neurial ecosystems ap­proach might be necessary to support producers’ entrepreneurial innovations, which could involve developing supportive policies and community sup­port networks in these regions. Additional re­search is needed to gain a deeper understanding of the reinventions and transfor­mations occurring among organic producers, including their experi­ences pushing them away from certified organic production.
Credevo di coartare, e invece no... Un caso di trombosi aortica neonatale
Authors: Dimino Gaia
Published: September 2024

Noah was born hypotonic and cyanotic, lacked femoral pulses and required invasive ventilatory support. This condition arose the suspicion of aortic coarctation. Indeed, diagnostic imaging revealed massive aortic thrombosis with splenic, intestinal, and renal ischemia, along with bilateral iliac-femoral axis occlusion. Due to the ineffectiveness of fibrinolytic therapy and the technical impossibility of performing surgical thrombectomy, successful thromboaspiration was performed via cardiac catheterization. This procedure involved percutaneous venous access and crossing to the arterial side through the patent ductus arteriosus, resulting in revascularization of downstream areas.

Objetivo: Analisar as alterações somáticas do ácido desoxirribonucleico genômico (gDNA) extraído de tecidos tumorais e aspirado de linfonodos N0 correspondentes por sequenciamento de nova geração (NGS) de pacientes com CPNPC, subtipo adenocarcinoma. Método: O gDNA extraído de cortes de tecido parafinados de seis CPNPC com tumores ressecados (estadio IA a IIIA) e de amostras de aspirado de LM histologicamente negativos (N0) foram analisados por NGS com o kit personalizado SureSelect XTHS2 (Agilent Tech, Santa Clara, CA, EUA), com 154 genes-alvo. Conclusão: Nós demonstramos diferentes variantes patogênicas somáticas entre tecido tumoral e aspirado de linfonodos citologicamente negativos correspondentes, sugerindo que essas variantes podem não ser causadoras de recidivas ou metástases e que diferentes subclones carregando outras alterações gênicas podem estar envolvidos no adenocarcinoma metastático. Assim, a combinação de análises genômicas com as análises citológicas e histológicas do LM pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento de um estadiamento integrado ao TNM. Referências: 1.

A IMPORTÂNCIA DA BIOLOGIA MOLECULAR NA IDENTIFICAÇÃO DE MICROSPORUM ADOUINII COMO AGENTE DE TINEA CAPITIS
Authors: Prudêncio FAA
Published: September 2024

Objetivo: As dermatofitoses ou tineas são infecções fúngicas que afetam pele, pelos e unhas. Os dermatófitos são classificados em três gêneros: Microsporum, Trichophyton e Epidermophyton. Os fungos desses gêneros são hialinos, e a sua identificação a partir da cultura por métodos fenotípicos representa um desafio para os micologistas clínicos, pois algumas espécies não apresentam estruturas de reprodução, o que dificulta a identificação do gênero e da espécie. O objetivo deste estudo foi relatar a ocorrência de M. audouinii em pacientes com tinea capitis. Método: O exame micológico direto foi realizado após clarificação com KOH. A cultura foi realizada em ágar Sabouraud e ágar Mycosel a 30ºC. O microcultivo foi realizado de acordo com Larone et al. A amplificação e o sequenciamento da região ITS foi realizada, utilizando-se os primers ITS1 e ITS, conforme descrito no documento do CLSI MM18-A. As sequências nucleotídicas obtidas foram utilizadas para montagem das sequências consenso, que, em seguida, foram comparadas com aquelas de referência, disponíveis no MycoBank e GenBank. Conclusão: O uso do sequenciamento de ácido desoxirribonucleico (DNA) possibilitou a correta identificação da espécie, permitindo o direcionamento do tratamento. A biologia molecular contribui significativamente para o conhecimento da real epidemiologia das dermatofitoses e deve ser parte das ferramentas de um laboratório de micologia clínica. Referências: 1.

The waste generated in various hospitals and healthcare facilities, including the waste of industries, can be grouped under biomedical waste (BMW). The constituents of this type of waste are various infectious and hazardous materials. This waste is then identified, segregated, and treated scientifically. There is an inevitable need for healthcare professionals to have adequate knowledge and a proper attitude towards BMW and its management. BMW generated can either be solid or liquid waste comprising infectious or potentially infectious materials, such as medical, research, or laboratory waste. There is a high possibility that inappropriate management of BMW can cause infections to healthcare workers, the patients visiting the facilities, and the surrounding environment and community. BMW can also be classified into general, pathological, radioactive, chemical, infectious, sharps, pharmaceuticals, or pressurized wastes. India has well-established rules for the proper handling and management of BMW. Biomedical Waste Management Rules, 2016 (BMWM Rules, 2016) specify that every healthcare facility shall take all necessary steps to ensure that BMW is handled without any adverse effect on human and environmental health. This document contains six schedules, including the category of BMW, the color coding and type of containers, and labels for BMW containers or bags, which should be non-washable and visible. A label for the transportation of BMWcontainers, the standard for treatment and disposal, and the schedule for waste treatment facilities such as incinerators and autoclaves are included in the schedule. The new rules established in India are meant to improve the segregation, transportation, disposal methods, and treatment of BMW. This proper management is intended to decrease environmental pollution because, if not managed properly, BMW can cause air, water, and land pollution. Collective teamwork with committed government support in finance and infrastructure development is a very important requirement for the effective disposal of BMW. Devoted healthcare workers and facilities are also significant. Further, the proper and continuous monitoring of BMW is a vital necessity. Therefore, developing environmentally friendly methods and the right plan and protocols for the disposal of BMW is very important to achieve a goal of a green and clean environment. The aim of this review article is to provide systematic evidence- based information along with a comprehensive study of BMW in an organized manner.

Authors: Zhang Yining
Published: September 2024

Language variation is a common phenomenon of language evolution in online interactive communication. Based on schema theory, this paper explores the forms, reasons, features and ritual functions of language variations in the context of Internet interaction. This study finds that the forms of Internet language variations are mainly embodied in: phonetic variation, semantic variation and grammatical variation, characterized by four rituals: cooperation, pluralism, universality and alignment. Internet language variations contribute to the construction of identity, relationship and order in communication. Through a systematic study of Internet language variations, this paper aims to provide some enlightenment for the ritual turn of pragmatics and the study of network linguistics from the perspective of cognitive linguistics.

Published: September 2024

The rising number of left-behind children in China, particularly in rural areas, underscores the urgent need to understand the complex interplay between insecure attachment and subjective well-being among this vulnerable population. The absence of one or both parents during their developmental years exposes these children to unique familial dynamics, contributing to unmet emotional needs and compromised parent-child relationships. Insecure attachment patterns often emerge as a consequence, further exacerbating the risk of mental health challenges. This study employs regression analysis and difference analysis to investigate the relationship between insecure attachment and subjective well-being among left-behind children, with psychological capital as a mediating variable. By elucidating the mechanisms underlying these associations, this research aims to inform targeted intervention strategies tailored to the needs of left-behind children.The findings underscore the multifaceted nature of subjective well-being in this population, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive interventions that address social, emotional, and psychological needs within familial and peer contexts. By fostering supportive relationships, enhancing emotional resilience, and promoting positive coping strategies, interventions can mitigate the adverse effects of parental migration on the well-being of left-behind children. While this study contributes valuable insights, future research should consider incorporating mixed-method approaches to capture the nuanced experiences and perceptions of left-behind children, thereby enhancing the validity and comprehensiveness of findings.

China’s involvement in global economic governance has been a progressive and step-by-step ascent. While the domestic and international environment has undergone major changes, the process of economic globalization has taken on new trends, and China has entered a new stage of high-level opening up. This paper’s theoretical analysis suggests that high-level opening up helps enhance the quality of foreign capital utilization, thereby addressing the challenges associated with the lower technological benefits of previous foreign capital utilization and further facilitating the enhancement of innovation capabilities in Chinese enterprises. Guided by this theoretical framework, this study has measured the level of opening up in Chinese provinces from 2013 to 2022 using web crawling technology. Econometric tests conducted with Chinese enterprise panel data reveal that: firstly, First, it effectively promotes the improvement of the total innovation output of enterprises and significantly improves breakthrough innovation capabilities. This result still holds true under a series of robustness and endogeneity tests; secondly, it mainly improves local advantages and high-quality international The attraction of foreign capital and multinational companies enables local companies to achieve breakthroughs and catch-up in core technologies by learning and competing with advanced foreign companies, thereby enhancing their technological innovation capabilities; thirdly, for companies in different industries and different ownership attributes The impact of improving innovation capabilities may vary. This study helps promote a new paradigm of innovation-driven development in the context of high-level opening-up.

A recuperação de pastagens é essencial para aumentar a assimilação de carbono pelo solo, reduzindo o CO2 atmosférico. Este estudo avaliou as emissões de CO2 em áreas de pastagens sob diferentes sistemas de manejo, realizado na Universidade Federal do Tocantins, Campus Gurupi. Amostras de solo foram coletadas em três profundidades (0-10, 11-20 e 21-30 cm) para determinar Carbono Orgânico e Matéria Orgânica do Solo. A atividade microbiana, avaliada pela liberação de CO2, foi monitorada mensalmente, tanto durante o dia quanto à noite, de setembro a novembro de 2023. Os tratamentos incluíram Mata Nativa (controle), Pastagem Recuperada e Pastagem Degradada, utilizando delineamento de blocos casualizados com quatro repetições. A temperatura do solo foi medida na superfície e a 10 cm de profundidade. Os resultados mostraram que o carbono e a matéria orgânica foram significativamente maiores na mata nativa. A emissão média de CO2 foi de 35,55 mg m² h⁻¹ durante o dia e 63,33 mg m² h⁻¹ à noite. Observou-se que o manejo de pastagens reduziu os teores de CO e MOS na camada superficial em comparação à mata nativa, com maior liberação de CO2 à noite em todas as áreas. A substituição da mata nativa por outros usos altera a qualidade do solo.
