Authors: Salgado Javier Matías , Rojas Rodrigo Lautaro , Celleri Milagros , Cultraro Felipe Alejandro , Vizioli Nicolás Alejandro
Published: April 2024

Introducción: La ansiedad ante exámenes es un constructo multidimensional, caracterizado por respuestas fenomenológicas, fisiológicas, conductuales y cognitivas asociadas a una preocupación excesiva sobre posibles consecuencias negativas ante una situación evaluativa. En estudiantes universitarios, presenta tasas de  ocurrencia entre 10 % y 40 %. El objetivo es evaluar la utilidad de un taller grupal y online para el manejo de esta problemática, basado en el Protocolo Unificado. Método: Participaron 31 estudiantes argentinos con edades de 18 a 35 años (M=25; DE= 5,24), siendo el 93.5 % mujeres. Se evaluó medidas pre, post y seguimiento en sintomatología asociada a la ansiedad ante exámenes (GTAI-AR) como variable primaria, y estrategias de regulación emocional (ERQ) y conciencia plena (MAAS) como variables secundarias. Para corroborar diferencias intra grupo se calculó la prueba de Wilcoxon, y como medida de tamaño del efecto (TE), la g de Hedges. Resultados: En cuanto a la variable primaria entre las tres medidas aplicadas, las diferencias fueron significativas con TE moderados y grandes. En las variables secundarias, solo la  reevaluación cognitiva reflejó TE considerables (pequeños) en el pre-post; en el post-seguimiento la supresión expresiva fue la única dimensión que reflejó TE significativos (moderados); y en el pre-seguimiento, únicamente la conciencia plena arrojó TE relevantes (pequeños). Discusión: Los resultados son coherentes con el marco del Protocolo Unificado y las investigaciones actuales sobre su aplicación. Conclusiones: Se espera que estos resultados sean útiles para el diseño de intervenciones similares. Si bien éstos fueron alentadores, se requieren investigaciones de mayor rigurosidad que permitan estudiar su eficacia.

This research paper aims to study “Aspects of Detective” in famous Egyptian writer Dr. Nabil Farouk’s novel: “The Mysterious Disappearance”. The detective novel is of the third rank in the Arab world because its writers were preoccupied with the issues and concerns of the sixties and seventies and their relationship to historical morality, and the fact that this art of the novel requires access to legal information from the doors open to detective cases. The detective is a popular subgenre of the novel. The investigation of any crime is called detective. Detective literature is directly related to social reforms. The elements of imagination are evident in “The Mysterious Disappearance” in the hero character who has superior abilities. The author relied on imagination framed by issues of investigation, crimes, and solving mysteries based on major and minor plots and plots that are the engines of imagination. This paper consists of a preface, two chapters and a conclusion. In the 1st chapter gives brief introduction of Dr. Nabil Farouk. The 2nd chapter explains the aspects of the detective story in the novel “The Mysterious Disappearance”.
The Nested States Model: An Empirical Framework for Integrating Brain and Mind
Authors: Denfield George H. , Kyzar Evan J.
Published: April 2024

Philosophy of mind has made substantial progress on biologically-rooted approaches to understanding the mind and subjectivity through the enactivist perspective, but research on subjectivity within neuroscience has not kept apace. Indeed, we possess no principled means of relating experiential
phenomena to neurophysiological processes. Here, we present the Nested States Model as a framework to guide empirical investigation into the relationship between subjectivity and neurobiology. Building on recent work in phenomenology and philosophy of mind, we develop an account of experiential
states as layered, or nested. We argue that this nested structure is also apparent in brain activity. The recognition of this structural homology — that both experiential and brain states can be characterized as systems of nested states — brings our views of subjective mental states
into broad alignment with our understanding of general principles and properties of brain activity. This alignment enables a more systematic approach to formulating specific hypotheses and predictions about how the two domains relate to one another.
Sentientism Still Under Threat: Reply to Dung
Authors: Kammerer François
Published: April 2024

In 'Ethics Without Sentience: Facing Up to the Probable Insignificance of Phenomenal Consciousness' (Kammerer, 2022), I argued that phenomenal consciousness is probably normatively insignificant, and does not play a significant normative role. In 'Preserving the Normative Significance
of Sentience' (Dung, 2024), Leonard Dung challenges my reasoning and defends sentientism about value and moral status against my arguments. Here I respond to Dung's criticism, pointing out three flaws in his reply. My conclusion is that the view that phenomenal consciousness is distinctively
significant is still very much under threat.

Published: April 2024

Introduction:

Proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) are one of the most common fractures among patients aged 65 years and older, commonly due to low-energy mechanisms. It is essential to identify drivers of increased healthcare utilization in geriatric PHF patients and bring awareness to any disparities in care. Here, we identify factors associated with the likelihood of inpatient admission and prolonged hospital stay among patients aged 65 years and older who sustain PHF due to falls.

Methods:

A national database was used to identify patients aged 65 years and older who suffered proximal humeral fractures due to a fall. Patient factors were analyzed for association with the likelihood of admission and odds of prolonged stay (≥5 days).

Results:

In the study period, 75,385 PHF patients who met our inclusion criteria presented to the emergency department and 14,118 (18.7%) were admitted. Black race was significantly associated with decreased odds of admission (P < 0.001) and increased likelihood of prolonged stay (P = 0.007) compared with White patients. Patients aged 75 to 84 and 85+ were both more likely to be admitted (P < 0.001) and experienced a prolonged hospital stay (P = 0.015). Patients undergoing surgical intervention with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty were associated with admission and prolonged length of stay (P < 0.001). Hospitals in Midwestern (P < 0.001) and Western (P < 0.001) regions exhibited lower rates of admission and Northeastern hospitals were associated with prolonged stays (P = 0.001). Finally, trauma and nonmetropolitan (P < 0.001) centers were associated with admission.

Conclusion:

Our study highlights the notable influence of age and race on the likelihood of hospital admission and prolonged hospital stay. Specifically, Black patients exhibited prolonged hospital stay, which has been associated with lower-quality care, warranting additional exploration. Understanding these demographic and hospital-related factors is essential for optimizing resource allocation and reducing healthcare disparities in the care of PHF patients, especially as the population ages and the incidence of PHF continues to rise.

Published: April 2024

Nanoparticles have unique traits which make them useful for different purposes. Numerous methods are used to manufacture nanoparticles at commercial scale. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are one of the most utilized and preferred nanoparticles due to their traits like low resistivity, less toxicity, optical, high stability, fluorescence quenching ability, and "surface plasmon resonance". Gold nanoparticles were utilized in ancient Roman Times for staining glasses and till now their new applications are being discovered every day. Various methodologies are utilized for Gold nanoparticle synthesis including conventional chemical methods, UV rays, polymers, ultrasound, plant and microbe-mediated techniques, etc. Conventional techniques are not eco-friendly or cost-effective. Nowadays plants and microbes being cost-effective and eco-friendly are preferred for gold nanoparticle synthesis. Various extracellular, intracellular, and biomolecular techniques are being utilized to manufacture gold nanoparticles. Gold nanoparticles have a vast scope in chemical, biomedicine, food, electronic and forensic industries. AuNPs are widely utilized as sensors, also as carriers in Drug delivery, Photothermal therapy, Heavy metal ion detection etc. This review describes various synthesis techniques, applications, and characterizations of AuNPs.

Authors: Mazhar Sumaira , Yasmeen Roheela , Hafeez Faheem , Iqbal Aruba Mariam
Published: April 2024

Ethanol produced through the fermentation of plant biomass is considered an environment friendly alternate to fossil fuels. Bioethanol and biodiesel, commonly known as second-generation biofuels, are produced through biological processes using agro-industrial waste and are considered sustainable, safe, and ecofriendly. These biofuels can minimize the emission of carbon dioxide and reduced the world’s dependence on fossil fuel. This review article focuses on three generations of biofuels, particularly the production of biofuel using fungal biocatalysts specifically Aspergillus niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the mechanism by which they convert biomass into biofuel. A. niger is known for releasing cellulolytic and pectolytic enzymes to hydrolyze biomass and survive against toxins, while S. cerevisiae produces invertase and zymase enzymes to convert sucrose into fructose and glucose sugars, and then further convert fructose and glucose into ethanol. The main purpose of this review is to explore alternative techniques for generating biofuels, using as few harmful chemicals as possible and reducing time consumption.

Towards concentric spatial systems for sustainable social development: Beyond western ethnocentric diametric spatial opposition and empty space
Authors: Downes Paul
Published: April 2024

This article outlines key features of an emerging spatial turn in education, the social sciences and humanities and its relevance to developing sustainable social systems, with a particular focus on inclusive systems. This is cognisant of UN Sustainable Goal 4 on Equitable Inclusive Education and Goal 1 on No Poverty. Offering a necessarily illustrative selection of key conceptual traditions and recent applications of spatial understandings pertinent to education and inclusion, with wider applicability, this proposed spatial turn is examined as offering critical alternatives to Western ethnocentric frames of space. This leads to contrasts between concentric spatial systems of inclusion, assumed connection and relative openness and diametric spatial systems of exclusion, splitting and mirror image oppositions in education and community spaces of relation.

Insect-plant interactions within cultivar mixtures: volatile plant communication as an underlying mechanism
Authors: Kheam Sokha
Published: April 2024

Promoting genotypic diversity of crops via cultivar mixtures presents a promising strategy to sustainably control insect pests and diseases, and thereby enhance yield. However, the underlying mechanisms responsible for reduced pest performance in cultivar mixtures remain unexplored. This thesis investigated the effects of volatile interactions between different cultivars in mixtures and their impact on insect pest performance. Two cultivars, initially growing at different rates, adjusted their growth to each other in the late stage due to aboveground chemical interactions. Volatile interactions between certain undamaged cultivars induced changes in volatile emissions of receiving plants, specifically the increased release of trans-β-ocimene and two unidentified compounds. The increases of trans-β-ocimene in receiving plants repelled aphids. Changes in receiving plants prolonged the non-nutrition uptake duration of aphid stylet penetration from epidermis to the phloem, but reduced the duration of active nutrition uptake in the phloem. It consequently decreased the aphid relative growth rate and intrinsic rate. A tropical field experiment showed that increasing soybean cultivar mixtures attract specific natural enemies at certain plant stages, while provide inconsistent effects on insect pests, with no changes in diseases or yield. The findings confirmed that volatile interactions between cultivars are context-specific, depending on the genetic identity of the emitter cultivar. This study sheds light on the significant role of volatiles in plant-plant interactions, affecting plant-insect interactions in cropping systems and increasing crop resilience against insect pests. This knowledge can help us develop integrated pest management by better understanding how complex mechanisms and processes in crop production systems can be and how we can influence them. It holds significant implications for both crop protection and the advancement of sustainable agricultural practices.
Christian education and sexual immorality in Pauline treaties
Authors: Zubairu Yisa Segun
Published: April 2024

The Nation is saturated with infidelity, secularism, materialism and a general lack of respect for the sanctity of the home. Sexual pervasion is on the increase on daily basis, display of sexual contents pervades the society. Pornography defiles the mind of both adults and the youths by polluting their minds with impure and unholy thoughts; the sanctity and sacredness of sex is eroding in Africa where men desire to have sex with other men, a woman desire to lay with a fellow woman and humans even desires to copulate with animals. One of the greatest challenges is that the role of the Church as an agent of moral education and transformation in Nigeria socio-religious and political system is undermined. The aforementioned issues demonstrate the need for church intervention through Christian education. This paper looks at the role of the church through the agency of education to curb and provides lasting solutions to sexual immoral behaviours that have permeates the fabric system of the African society (especially, Nigeria). The writer adopts historical, descriptive and analytical methods of research for effective achievement of his goal. This paper discovers that, one, Nigeria is bedevilled with blatantly moral corrupt leaders who have nothing to offer in curbing the menace of immoral acts in the country; and secondly, the present situation in Nigeria with regards to fashion and the flaunting of flesh is but one more manifestation of the decay of this country. Therefore, religion plays a vital role in bringing sanity and sanctity to family moral values in the African society. From Christian education perspective, Christian institutions should design courses that will impact the society positively: spiritually, socially, economically and politically.
Health education in Vietnamese federal schools: Content and methodology
Authors: Thinh Pham Văn
Published: April 2024

Vietnamese feudal schools served the purpose of preparing people to manage the country. Educational content and approach were centered on state management attitudes and skills; schools (both state-owned and private - The Master) did not officially offer health education courses. However, the remaining textbooks and learning papers demonstrated that feudal schools prioritized health education, initially incorporating health education content into teaching at all levels. Health education comprised knowledge and skills for maintaining health, as well as creative encounters with Eastern medicine in illness prevention, conservation, and human health improvement. The content and methods of health education demonstrated that medieval schools sought to develop people holistically in terms of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The knowledge and methodology of health education in ancient feudal schools not only help us understand the history of Vietnamese education, but they also provide many lessons acquired in the development of today's educational system.

Introdução: A presente obra visa comparar e analisar dados trazidos de pesquisas anteriores acerca da possibilidade de associação entre prematuridade e redução na curva do desenvolvimento cognitivo. Sobretudo, fora observado que há estatisticamente maior comprometimento neste quesito quando há o paralelo entre nascidos à termo e pré termo (<37 semanas) (Duncan AF, 2018) (CAMEROTA, MARIE, et al. 2022). Metodologia: Trata-se de um artigo de natureza pura e cunho quali-quanti (MARCONI e LAKATOS, 2017), foram investigadas nas bases de dados PubMed, MEDLINE e LILACS e foram obtidos após filtros e critérios de inclusão/exclusão 14 artigos ao todo, ademais foram utilizados de bases teóricas teses e livros texto. Resultados e discussões: Foram observados resultados em estudos de coorte e estudos transversais que demonstram um significativo vínculo entre redução da capacidade cognitiva e nascimento pré-termo (<37 semanas). Contudo, há formas de otimizar essa situação realizando atividades de acompanhamento ao longo da infância. Conclusão: Analisou-se que investimentos no âmbito social podem ser eficazes mediante a situação, permitindo acesso a equipes multidisciplinares e a diagnóstico precoce, de maneira que as dificuldades sejam mitigadas e, em alguns casos, tornadas indiferentes.

Published: April 2024

O uso de álcool, em especial, se faz cada vez mais precoce em todo o mundo, sendo que o consumo excessivo repercute em situações de dependência, e, com isso, quando o mesmo é suspenso de maneira abrupta, desencadeia a Síndrome de Abstinência Alcoólica (SAA). Dentro da SAA, são desenvolvidos sinais e sintomas em um período de várias horas a alguns dias, em que se destaca o delirium. O objetivo é proporcionar conhecimento à equipe de atuação na Fundação de Saúde Cristo Rei, a respeito da síndrome de abstinência alcoólica e delirium, visando construir um protocolo clínico a respeito da temática, subsidiado em diagnósticos assertivos, condutas, manejos e prognósticos. Têm-se como público-alvo enfermeiros, psicólogos, nutricionistas e técnicos de enfermagem, tendo em vista que tais se fazem presente no decorrer de todo o atendimento dos pacientes acometidos com tais situações. É um estudo de caráter descritivo, em que as informações avaliadas são referentes a pacientes internados nos leitos de retaguarda com hipótese diagnóstica de delirium perante quadros de SAA, assim como disseminar informações referentes aos profissionais de saúde instaurados na Fundação de Saúde Cristo Rei em Matipó-MG, uma cidade situada na Zona da Mata Mineira. Dentre as ações realizadas, elenca-se: diálogo com a professora responsável pela disciplina; anamnese com os pacientes; leitura de prontuários; construção de um protocolo clínico de identificação e manejo do delirium na SAA; confecção de panfleto e palestra com slides para os profissionais de saúde da Fundação de Saúde Cristo Rei de Matipó-MG. Mediante realização da palestra na Fundação de Saúde Cristo Rei, assim como a distribuição dos panfletos para os funcionários e entrega do protocolo elaborado, evidenciou-se que o projeto de intervenção alcançou seu objetivo inicial de facilitar a conduta dos profissionais de saúde da instituição ao depararem-se com um quadro de delirium por abstinência de álcool, visto que o feedback acerca do método de elaboração e elucidação foi positivo, principalmente por serem fornecidas as escalas de avaliação, que até o momento da apresentação não eram de conhecimento da equipe.
Zum Problem der Entwicklung der Klassenstruktur und der Führungskräfte. Beiträge zur Entwicklung der Klassenstruktur in einigen afrikanischen Ländern und zur Rolle der Führungskräfte in den nationalen Befreiungsrevolutionen
Authors: Höftmann Hildegard
Published: April 2024

Die Arbeit stellt die allgemeinen Entwicklungstendenzen in der Sozialstruktur der afrikanischen Völker dar, untersucht die durch das Eindringen der Kolonialmächte erfolgten Einflüsse sowie die dadurch eingeleiteten Prozesse und analysiert die gegenwärtige Klassenstruktur. Dabei wird den Führungskräften als den Repräsentanten der verschiedenen Klassen und Schichten, ihrer Rolle in den einzelnen Etappen der Befreiungsrevolutionen und unter den Bedingungen der staatlichen und politischen Unabhängigkeit besondere Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Die allgemeine Problematik wird sodann an Hand von Analysen der Gesellschaftsstruktur in drei afrikanischen Staaten - Guinea, Ghana und Nigeria - konkretisiert und geprüft. Es wird nachgewiesen, daß die bürgerlichen Elitetheorien das Ziel haben, die tatsächlichen, gesetzmäßig ablaufenden Prozesse bei der ökonomisch-sozialen Entwicklung der Gesellschaft und damit die real bestehenden Klassenverhältnisse zu verschleiern. Die Verfasser gehen davon aus, daß entsprechend der marxistischen Gesellschaftstheorie das entscheidende Kriterium für die Stellung aller gesellschaftlichen Kräfte allein ihr Platz in der Produktion, insbesondere ihr Verhältnis zu den Produktionsmitteln, sein kann. Auf dieser Grundlage kommen sie zu dem Ergebnis, daß sich die Rolle und Stellung der Führungskräfte in den nationalen Befreiungsrevolutionen Afrikas aus ihrer jeweiligen klassenmäßigen Determiniertheit ergibt, d. h. aus ihrer eigenen Klassenzugehörigkeit bzw. daraus, welche herrschenden Klassenverhältnisse von ihnen politisch vertreten werden.

На сучасному етапі головна увага України зосереджена на важливій місії протистояння ворогові та визволенні всіх своїх територій. Однак водночас виникає виклик відновлення економіки, який стає важливим завданням як у часи війни, так і в післяпереможному періоді, в основі якого ключовими являються інституційні реформи, орієнтовані на відповідність європейським стандартам. Мета статті полягає у висвітленні процесу цифровізації як підходу до реалізації функцій публічного управління, оцінки ступеня інтеграції членів територіальних громад у різних аспектах публічного управління, формулювання напрямів розвитку організаційно-правових засад застосування цифрових технологій в громадах, а також у сфері охорони здоров’я в Україні. Було використано загальнонаукові теоретичні методи, такі як методи конкретизації, узагальнення теоретичних даних, статистичний та аналітичні методи дослідження. Цифровізація в медицині України, в аспекті телемедицини, несе свій початок ще з 30-х років ХХ століття, розвиток якої не зупиняється і сьогодні. В умовах реформи децентралізації система охорони здоров’я зазнала вагомих та, в деяких аспектах, кардинальних змін, які забезпечили доступність та якість медичної допомоги населенню не лише жителям віддалених сіл, а і громадянам України, які перебувають за кордоном, насамперед завдяки створенню електронної системи охорони здоров’я “ЕСОЗ” або “eHealth” з наступним розширенням цифрових порталів (е-ліки, е-громадське здоров’я та інші). Інтернет для сучасного суспільства є важливою складовою повсякденного життя людини і в той же час важливим аспектом в цифровізації регіонів, як один з головних складників трансформації України. Тема дослідження надзвичайно актуальна, оскільки перспектива цифровізації неоціненна в сьогоденні, не лише у сфері охорони здоров’я, а також в розвитку територіальних громад та їх більшої інтеграції в різні аспекти соціально-економічного та політичного розвитку.
Research Paper on Blockchain Technology

Blockchain is a Peer to Peer software technology that protects the integrity of a digital piece of information. It was invented to create the alternative currency Bitcoin but may be used for other cryptocurrencies, online signature services, voting systems and many other applications. In this video we explain how it works and what makes it special. Everyone uses paper money. When you get a 10 dollar bill you trust that it's not fake. If instead someone sent you an email saying "here's 10 dollars" you probably wouldn’t trust it. But when we "transfer money", use an ATM or pay with a deposit card that's pretty much exactly what we do. We're sending money in a digital message. To make sure no one's cheating or sending money they don't have, these “messages” go through a few trusted banks that keep a record of everything. They know how much money everyone has and deduct it properly for every transaction. Now But this has become expensive when there is a millions of transactions around towards the world every minute. The Economist estimates that banks charged us more than 1.7 trillion dollars to process these payments in 2014. That’s about 2% of the entire world economy! With blockchain we can save a lot of this cost because it lets us send money just like sending an email. Alternately sending a lot of payment information through a few servers, blockchain uses thousands of personal computers on the internet. All transactions are copied and cross checked between every computer in a system wide accounting book called the ledger, which becomes very safe at scale. Blockchain doesn’t just allow us to create safe money online, it lets us protect any piece of digital information. This could be online Identity cards, voter ballots, contracts and many other “legal instruments”, bringing bureaucracy into the 21st century.
