Uncontrolled Hypertension or A Bad Medication Interaction? The Importance of Reviewing Over-the-Counter Medications During Medication Reconciliation
Authors: Amin Shefali , Moss Caitlyn R.
Published: December 2024

Introduction: In the management of chronic conditions, review of the complete medication list for potential drug-drug interactions is crucial. This case involves a patient taking activated charcoal for unclear reasons, leading to misdiagnosed uncontrolled hypertension.

Case Description: We present the case of an elderly male with uncontrolled hypertension who had been placed on multiple chronic antihypertensives for years. On further review, he was found to be taking activated charcoal twice daily thereby inactivating his five oral antihypertensive medications and making his blood pressure difficult to control. Discontinuation of the activated charcoal led to significant improvement in his blood pressure and the need for fewer medications.

Discussion: The American College of Cardiology (ACC) recommends a secondary hypertension work-up for drug-resistant hypertension, but also advises evaluating medication lists for substances that cause elevated blood pressure. Activated charcoal is an over-the-counter substance that is known to inactivate various drugs, including many antihypertensives. This case highlights the impact of over-the-counter medications, such as activated charcoal, on the efficacy of prescribed medications for chronic illnesses, such as hypertension. It emphasizes the need for comprehensive medication review, including over-the-counter medications, which are often overlooked, to optimize treatment efficacy and patient outcomes.
O que diagnosticamos quando avaliamos uma criança? Encontros e desencontros entre a saúde mental e a educação
Authors: Choueri Patrícia Helena Malachowski
Published: December 2024

Ao longo de 20 anos, um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial infanto-juvenil da cidade de São Paulo sustentou, junto às escolas públicas de seu território de abrangência, um espaço mensal de trocas de experiências e construção de um saber possível entre a saúde mental e a educação, conhecido como Fórum de Escolas. O presente artigo propõe-se a analisar as falas recorrentes trazidas pelos educadores nesses encontros à luz de conceitos psicanalíticos, sociológicos e filosóficos, identificando o atravessamento do discurso capitalista, da biopolítica e da medicalização da vida nos diagnósticos e práticas educacionais. Por fim, aborda-se o próprio dispositivo “Fórum de Escolas” como lugar de desconstrução do discurso instituído, de problematização do processo de desenvolvimento psicossocial e de construção de um saber transdisciplinar sobre o sujeito-criança que re-empodera o professor em seu saber-fazer e torna a escola um lugar de encontros e possibilidades.

Staff Development for Networked Distance Education
Authors: Tickner Sue
Published: December 2024

Glasgow University Initiative in Distance Education (GUIDE) was established three years ago, when there were very few distance courses at the University of Glasgow. Of those, all but one were print-based. At the time of writing there are 8 distance courses or programmes running and a further 23 in various stages of planning and development. Most of the latter make use of networked learning. The teaching staff, development team, support staff and/or administrators of these programmes need new sets of skills and knowledge.
As an institution-wide service set up to support distance education and promote its development, a core part of GUIDE's work is in assisting staff who are new to the concepts, processes and methods involved in setting up and running their distance education programmes. We consequently strive to identify the specific knowledge and skills these staff will need when they embark on the design and development of such a course for the first time. This includes the skills required for networked learning. This information then directs our staff development programmes.
This paper sets out some of the strategies we have applied to staff development for networked distance education. It describes the success and limitations of each approach, examines some possible reasons, and grounds this in the wider context of our philosophy and practice and our understanding of the terms 'networked' and 'networked distance education'. Particular training needs which emerge from our work suggest five broad categories are most commonly needed; these will be examined with examples from our work.

The personal libraries of representatives of various fields of culture, science, and literature are considered an undivideable part of the Armenian printed heritage, reflecting the way of thinking and views of the given figure at the same time. However, they often remain in the shadows. The study of the personal library of Yeghishe Charents was carried out in parallel with the work of compiling the bibliography of the same library, starting from 2018. As a result of studying the personal library it was found that there were about 6,000 items of literature in the library, but 1,452 items were preserved - books and periodicals. Two of them were published in 1512-1800, and 20 in 1801-1850. Most of the literature was published in 1921-1937, due to the increase in his ability to acquire books during that period, as well as the fact that he worked in a state publishing house. The geographical map of book printing is large enough. covers a wide range of locations around the world. From a linguistic point of view, publications in Russian prevail, followed by Armenian ones, but there are also publications in foreign languages. Our efforts to find books or periodicals belonging to the personal library of Charents in other Armenian collections were unsuccessful, but we are sure that the continuous work in this direction will have a positive result.
The Imago Dei in a Time of Mass Extinction
Authors:   , van Urk Eva
Published: December 2024

One of the most destructive developments in the Anthropocene is the mass extinction of species. Since the human factor is critical here, it matters profoundly how the role of humans vis-à-vis the earth’s biodiversity is construed. This project investigates in which way the Christian religious tradition may contribute to this debate. In particular, its seminal notion that humanity, unlike other animals, has been created ‘in the image of God’ (imago Dei) is analyzed. What is the potential of the concept of imago Dei to strengthen ecological responsibility in light of the current human-caused mass extinction? In its approach to this question, the study draws on biblical scholarship and systematic theology as well as environmental humanities scholarship to explore how human and non-human life are interrelated and what that means for our moral outlook. Most significantly, it is argued that a retrieval of particular historical, so-called ‘structural’ views of the imago Dei is helpful in rediscovering the spiritual value of biodiversity. That is to say, humans have the capacity to perceive the world and its biodiversity as a source of spirituality, engendering an awareness of transcendence. The concept of imago Dei traditionally encapsulates this aspect and is, therefore, specifically relevant in addressing human-caused extinction.
Comparative Analysis of Hydrogen-Tank Explosion Cases Using ALOHA Software and Probit Analysis
Authors:   National Fire Research Institute of Korea, Kim Jusung , Kong Hasung
Published: December 2024

This study presents a comparative analysis of empirical damage data from the Gangneung hydrogen-tank explosion and the predicted impact range generated by the ALOHA modeling software. The actual incident resulted in two fatalities and six injuries, with structures within a 50 m radius experiencing destruction and a structure at a distance of 170 m sustaining partial damage. ALOHA simulations predicted structural failure within 183 m, window shattering within a 250 m radius, and thermal-radiation effects limited to first-degree burns within 14 m. Results of Probit analysis show that the structural damage can range from 0% to 99%, the level of glass shattering can be between 94% and 100%, and damage from radiant heat is limited to first-degree burns. A comparative assessment of the actual case and simulation outcomes revealed almost identical results, with the structures impacted within a minimum radius of 170 m in both cases. The findings of this study are expected to facilitate in calculating the impact range of hydrogen explosions, developing effective accident response plans and damage-minimization measures, and establishing safety measures, such as the installation of protective walls, to prevent additional damage from explosions after an accident occurs.
Comparative Research on Administrative Compulsion in Fire Administration
Authors:   National Fire Research Institute of Korea, Yi Gang-Gyu
Published: December 2024

Germany’s Administrative Enforcement Act (Verwaltungs-Vollstreckungsgesetz - VwVG) implements nine coercive measures. Substitute performance, periodic penalty payments, and direct coercion are all coercive measures. Recently, the effectiveness of administrative compulsion in fire administration has been questioned. We have witnessed different types of disasters occurring because the fire codes are either ignored or not enforced. A responsible government must not disregard the law. To maximize the effectiveness of administrative compulsion, it is necessary to enact a general act with regard to various administrative compulsion measures, following the German example.
Impact of Fear on Firefighting Operations: Using the Delphi Method and Multiple Regression Analysis
Authors:   National Fire Research Institute of Korea, Choi Bok Moo , Song Jun Ha
Published: December 2024

This study examines how fear affects firefighting operations. Initially, a Delphi study narrowed down 554 identified phobias to eight significant fears expected to affect firefighters: claustrophobia, animal phobia, acrophobia, aquaphobia, hemophobia, trypanophobia, deliriophobia, and necrophobia. We conducted a nationwide survey among firefighters, analyzing 1,098 responses through multiple regression analysis. The results showed that claustrophobia (β = 0.324), acrophobia (β = 0.275), trypanophobia (β = 0.138), and necrophobia (β = 0.120) significantly affect firefighting performance. Additionally, an analysis of international cases reveals that countries such as the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Germany incorporate fear-related scenarios into their physical ability assessments for firefighters. These findings suggest the need for fearreduction programs and appropriate recruitment systems for firefighters.

Le chapitre se termine par un résumé des défis auxquels sont confrontées toutes les catégories de médias et des initiatives prises par les gouvernements du Canada et du Québec pour contrer les effets délétères de la mainmise des géants du web sur l'industrie des médias.
Impact des mesures incitatives et coercitives sur le lieu de pratique des nouveaux médecins de famille
Authors: Fortin Bernard , Ndoutoumou Justin , Gbeto Josette , Laberge Maude
Published: December 2024

Les services de première ligne sont une composante essentielle des soins de santé pour la population. Dans une région touchée par une grave pénurie de médecins, le risque de ne pouvoir accéder en temps opportun à des soins appropriés peut engendrer des problèmes de santé sévères en particulier chez les personnes vulnérables.

Dès 1975, le gouvernement du Québec a introduit plusieurs mesures pour influencer le choix de la région de pratique des omnipraticiens et ainsi améliorer l’équité dans leur répartition géographique. Certaines mesures sont incitatives. Celles-ci incluent les bourses-contrat d’étude, la rémunération différente selon les régions, les primes d’installation, les primes d’isolement ou encore les primes de rétention. D’autres mesures sont coercitives. En 2004, les Plans régionaux d’effectifs médicaux (PREM) ont été introduits. Selon les PREM, tout nouveau médecin qui veut changer de région de pratique doit obtenir un avis de conformité du département régional de médecine générale où il veut s’installer. Cet avis ne peut être délivré que si la cible du PREM n’a pas été atteinte. Les PREM ont été rendus encore plus contraignants en 2015.

À partir d’un riche ensemble de données inédites, les auteurs estiment l’effet causal de trois mesures visant à influencer le choix du lieu de pratique des nouveaux médecins de famille du Québec entre 1975 et 2021. Ils montrent que les bourses, la rémunération différente selon les régions et les PREM semblent avoir eu les effets escomptés.

A MOVIMENTAÇÃO DOCENTE NO CONTEXTO DA INTERIORIZAÇÃO E EXPANSÃO DO INSTITUTO FEDERAL DO SERTÃO PERNAMBUCANO
Authors: Furtado Soares Pontes Ana Paula , Deisymar Silva Martins Patrícia , Santos Araújo de Sousa Bernardina
Published: December 2024

A expansão e interiorização dos Institutos Federais (IFs) desencadeou a entrada de novos docentes e servidores técnico-administrativos na Rede Federal de Educação Profissional e Tecnológica. Essa reconfiguração geográfica e política da Rede também deu origem a uma crescente demanda por remoções. No Instituto Federal do Sertão Pernambucano (IFSertãoPE), observamos um aumento expressivo nas solicitações de remoção, causando uma rotatividade marcante de professores na instituição. Este artigo apresenta os resultados da pesquisa concluída no âmbito de um mestrado profissional em Educação da Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), que teve como objetivo compreender como as remoções de professores no IFSertãoPE se constituem e se inserem no contexto da expansão e interiorização dos IFs, identificando os motivos por trás dessa movimentação docente. O estudo, de natureza exploratória e qualitativa, envolveu análise de documentos, estudo bibliográfico, legislação pertinente e aplicação de questionários semiestruturados aos docentes do IFSertãoPE que solicitaram remoção entre 2017 e 2020. Os resultados destacam que questões familiares e a falta de estrutura no campus de lotação são os principais motivadores para as solicitações de remoção pelos docentes. Fica evidente a necessidade de o IFSertãoPE incentivar os servidores a permanecerem em seus campi originais. O desafio futuro é desenvolver uma política de gestão que estimule os servidores a contribuir efetivamente com a instituição, equilibrando as necessidades do campus e as demandas dos docentes por remoção.

Published: December 2024

In today’s fast-paced world, effectively managing
personal expenses is crucial for maintaining financial
stability and achieving long-term goals. However,
many existing systems lack a user-friendly interface to
efficiently track and categorize expenses. Users often
struggle to enter expense details manually and
visualize their spending trends over time. These
limitations can make it difficult to identify spending
patterns and create effective financial plans. Without
proper categorization and reporting features, users
may fail to track their expenses accurately, which
leads to poor financial decisions.
To overcome these drawbacks, the new system
features a modern, user-friendly website built
using Python and Flask. This system allows users to
easily enter their expense details, including the
category of the expense, such as food, entertainment,
transportation, or utilities. The website is designed to
ensure that users can quickly input their daily
expenses, making it more accessible and intuitive.
With Flask as the backend framework, the system
ensures efficient processing of user data and seamless
integration of the front-The end interface provides a

smooth experience for users who are not necessarily
tech-savvy.
One of the key features of the proposed system is its
ability to visualize the entered data in various formats,

allowing users to view their expenses on a day-by-
day, month-by-month, or year-by-year basis.

The system uses interactive graphs and charts to
display data, making it easy for users to track their
spending patterns over time. In addition, users can
generate detailed reports based on their selected
timeframe, which provides insights into their financial
habits and helps facilitate better decision-making.
This solution empowers users to take control of their
finances by providing a clear, graphic representation
of their expenses and an easy way to generate periodic
reports, thereby enhancingoth their financial planning
and awareness.

Upaya Amerika Serikat Dalam Menanggulangi Pelanggaran Hak Kekayaan Intelektual Pada Masa Kepemimpinan Donald Trump
Authors: Firdaus Naufal Muhammad
Published: December 2024

The United States as a developed country in industry and economy certainly has innovative and sustainable intellectual property. However, if Intellectual Property Rights are misused by other people or other countries with the appearance of many imitations based on the same ideas or goods as owned by the United States, it will cause harm to the United States itself. For this reason, the United States during the administration of Donald J. Trump viewed the protection of Intellectual Property Rights as a very important matter. The efforts of the United States itself in protecting it are also considered to be very serious, where the United States through its main institution called the Office of the US Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator (IPEC) as well as several other institutions that help, are working hard each year to promote and protect the Intellectual Property Rights that are owned by the United States both bilaterally, multilaterally and regionally. In this case, the United States of America is also firm in upholding the law on Intellectual Property Rights and does not hesitate if there are countries that violate their Intellectual Property Rights by providing various economic sanctions.
Role of Trust on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB)
Authors: Manik Ester
Published: December 2024

Individual behavior that can increase organizational effectiveness is an essential aspect for organizations to achieve optimal performance. For this reason, there is a need for research that can contribute to improving individual behavior in producing its effectiveness. However, previous research has shown a theoretical gap in measuring individual trust and organizational citizenship behavior. In theory, to fill the gap, this study measures the influence of individual beliefs and organizational citizenship behavior. Researchers surveyed employees who work in the retail sector as many as 257 employees. The researchers used a structural equation modeling approach – PLS with predictive purposes to test the research model. The study results indicate that there is a positive influence on individual beliefs based on intention and individual beliefs on actions on organizational citizenship behavior. The study's implications indicate the need to increase the motivational aspect to increase individual confidence so that it will lead to behavioral actions that can increase organizational effectiveness.

However, the change of learning to online has several obstacles in its implementation where both students and teachers are still not used to online learning. This study investigates student knowledge about covid 19 and its implications for student learning attitudes and behavior. An online survey using google forms to students of undergraduate and postgraduate programs at the School of Economics, Pasundan, Bandung, Indonesia, has as many as 247 students. The researchers used a nonparametric structural equation modeling approach to identify the effect of student knowledge about COVID-19 on attitudes and learning behavior. The study results identified that student knowledge had a positive influence on student attitudes and negatively affected learning behavior. This condition indicates that the increasing threat of covid 19, which students know, will be more positive in their actions; however, their learning behavior will decrease. For this reason, it is necessary to take comprehensive steps by the parties concerned to implement effective policies in reducing the impact of covid 19 to improve student learning behavior. The novelty of this research is that no research identifies a model of the influence of knowledge regarding the impact of covid 19 on student behavior and learning behavior in Indonesia.
Unearthing treasures: The past, present, and future of a local authority museum geological collection
Authors: Hadland Philip
Published: December 2024

The geological collections at Hastings Museum and Art Gallery date back to the mid-19th Century. The first acquisitions were made in the late 1800s by the Hastings and St Leonard’s Museums Association following its formation in 1889. The collections gradually expanded from then on to encompass a diverse array of geological specimens. The current geological collection is predominantly made up of local Cretaceous fossils but also includes minerals and petrological samples from both the UK and abroad. In 2019, a new chapter in the collection's journey began with the appointment of a dedicated Collections and Engagement Curator of Natural Sciences and Archaeology. Tasked with caring for, and developing this invaluable repository of Earth's history, the curator has embarked on a mission to preserve, interpret, share, and add to the treasures within, ensuring their accessibility and relevance for future generations. Recent work on the collections has uncovered new insights including links with national collections and at least one important scientific discovery of a spinosaur tooth from an unknown species. Collections development plans for the future include a project focussed on the Museum’s underused mineral and petrology collection.

Alcide Dessalines d’Orbigny (1802–1857) was a micropalaeontology pioneer and his foraminifera collection, housed at the National Museum of Natural History, Paris, is undergoing Byne’s decay. This work was undertaken to evaluate the extent of damage and to better understand when it happened and why. Taking advantage of the E-ReColNat pictures taken of the collection in 2016, a semi-quantitative approach enabled us to estimate that approximately 25% of the specimens are severely affected and are no longer recognisable. The decay is related to the storage materials such as paper, cotton wool and cork used during the 19th century that emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Degradation products were identified by Raman spectrometry, thus highlighting major occurrence of the metastable tetragonal calcium formate [β-Ca(HCOO)2]. Orthorhombic calcium formate [α-Ca(HCOO)2] was also detected, yet in much lesser amounts, although it is expected to be more stable than its tetragonal polymorph. Magnesium formate dihydrate [Mg(HCOO)2∙2H2O] and calcium lactate pentahydrate [Ca(CH3CH-OH-COO)2∙5H2O] are also present as minor phases. The fact that no acetate or mixed acetate/formate salt was detected remains particularly puzzling, knowing that acetic acid is a major VOC emitted by cellulosic materials. The study of archival accounts indicates that the decay had already started at the beginning of the 20th century and spread afterwards. It also shows that the collection was stored in several places that presented both high humidity conditions and temperature fluctuations. Taking advantage of these considerations, an artificial ageing experiment was designed to reproduce the decay on newly acquired palaeontological material.

Os rios e as florestas são cenários que convidam o imaginário da criança ribeirinha para brincar de pescar, subir em árvores, criar suas vivências lúdicas. Nesse contexto, este artigo resulta de um estudo sobre as categorias de análises da cultura lúdica, objetos ribeirinhos e aprendizagem, a partir das fundamentações teóricas de Kishimoto (2007), Brougère (1998), Vygotsky (1998) e outros. A investigação discute como objeto de pesquisa a aprendizagem na cultura lúdica infantil ribeirinha, assim, formulou-se a seguinte questão: de que forma o brincar por meio dos objetos ribeirinhos influencia a aprendizagem da criança? A pesquisa fundamentou-se na abordagem qualitativa na metodologia do estudo de caso. Os dados coletados foram interpretados na análise de conteúdo. Os resultados mostram que o objeto ribeirinho presente na realidade e memória lúdica da criança contribui para a aprendizagem, no sentido de estar envolvida na cultura que constrói e partilha no contexto da comunidade.

Reciclagem e sustentabilidade são dois conceitos que se busca aplicar em todas as atividades humanas, onde a reciclagem é o processo de reaproveitamento de resíduos sólidos que reduz a quantidade de materiais enviados a aterros sanitários e a sustentabilidade é está relacionada à continuidade dos aspectos econômicos, sociais, culturais e ambientais da sociedade humana, preenchendo as suas necessidades e preservando os ecossistemas naturais. Aliando os conceitos de reciclagem e sustentabilidade, o objetivo deste trabalho é caracterizar adesivos preparados através da dissolução de EPS (pós-consumo) em solventes como o acetato de etila, o diluente para poliuretano e o D-limoneno (solvente ecológico).  O adesivo preparado para o ensaio de cisalhamento na linha da cola foi de 40% de concentração de EPS em massa. Após a produção dos adesivos foram confeccionados 12 corpos de prova para cada gramatura de adesivo com 100, 200 300 e 400 g/m2, e a realização dos ensaios mecânicos para determinação da resistência. Com a finalidade de comparar os resultados com os adesivos comerciais, foram realizados os mesmos ensaios com o PUR, PVA e Titebond III, na gramatura recomendada pelo fabricante. A investigação mostrou que não houve diferença significativa na resistência ao cisalhamento quando comparado com os adesivos comerciais. A relevância desse trabalho está no fato de utilizar como matéria-prima um resíduo poluente, fomentando um novo tipo de economia circular que atende às questões de reciclagem, e consequentemente de sustentabilidade.

Authors: Clemente Ana Clara do Carmo , Ricon Leandro Couto Carreira
Published: December 2024

No presente artigo, busca-se uma compreensão acerca do pensamento libertário anarquista, explorando suas ideias e práticas a partir do meio que entendem como um elemento central para a reprodução social: a educação. A partir dessa premissa, são analisadas as principais características do ensino libertário e as instituições criadas a partir de tais teorias, como a Escola Moderna em Barcelona, e destacando o papel transformador que a educação desempenha na visão anarquista. O trabalho se fundamenta nos escritos de autores e teóricos do movimento libertário, como Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Mikhail Bakunin, Francisco Ferrer y Guardia, entre outros, e investiga como essas ideias reverberam no contexto da sociedade brasileira do século XX. Por fim, o artigo destaca a importância da imprensa anarquista como um veículo essencial de difusão desses ideais libertários, mostrando como ela se dedicava em promover debates acerca da importância do ensino libertário para a construção de uma sociedade voltada para a igualdade e liberdade.
