La montée en puissance de la pollution anthropique post Covid-19 a montré la fragilité des décisions prises par les dirigeants du monde lors des précédentes conférences des Parties (COP). Cette crise sanitaire a démontré que l’homme agit vite quand sa santé et son économie sont touchées directement. Compte tenu des prévisions qui dépassent son seuil de survie, la réduction de gaz à effet de serre resterait toujours dans les bonnes intentions qui ne verraient jamais le jour. Il serait préférable que le GIEC produise les rapports à court terme en démontrant les conséquences sanitaires et économiques de la résurgence de la pollution anthropique. En ce qui concerne les pays sous-développés, la pandémie à Coronavirus a accentué la criminalité faunique et l’exploitation illégale du bois dans les zones forestières. Mots-clés : pollution anthropique, Covid-19, pays sous-développés.

Published: October 2024

Resumen de los trabajos de campo desarrollados durante la campaña veraniega de 2015. Se intervino en un área de 80 m², que se corresponden con cinco sectores de la zona septentrional de la necrópolis. Se documentaron doce nuevas tumbas, cuatro de ellas cenotafios, asociadas en dos grupos distribuidos entre el siglo I a. C. y el siglo I d. C. Los ajuares y las ofrendas observan la misma distribución temporal, con 106 objetos recuperados en total, fundamentalmente cerámicos. Las tumbas más tardías muestran una manifiesta pobreza y, como añadido, una simplificación de los rituales funerarios que señala el cambio de modelo cultural.
THE IMPACT OF CLOUD-BASED MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS ON HRM EFFICIENCY: AN ANALYSIS OF SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES (SMEs)
Authors:   Master in Management Information Systems, International American University, Los Angeles, USA, Ashrafuzzaman Md
Published: October 2024

Cloud-based management information systems (MIS) are becoming integral to the operational success of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly in enhancing the efficiency of human resource management (HRM) processes. This article, based on a comprehensive review of 75 peer-reviewed studies, investigates how the adoption of cloud-based MIS positively impacts critical HRM functions such as employee management, recruitment, training, and performance monitoring. The findings indicate that cloud-based systems significantly streamline these HR tasks by reducing time, costs, and the administrative burdens traditionally associated with manual or localized HR operations. Moreover, the integration of real-time data analytics through cloud-based platforms enhances decision-making capabilities, enabling HR professionals to make data-driven and timely decisions that improve overall workforce management. The reviewed studies also emphasize that cloud-based MIS are essential for improving strategic HR planning. These systems allow SMEs to access advanced tools for workforce analytics, employee engagement, and performance tracking, which were previously only accessible to larger corporations. The flexibility and scalability offered by cloud-based MIS enable SMEs to quickly adapt to changes in staffing needs, business growth, and external market conditions without the need for costly infrastructure. Furthermore, the review highlights the role of cloud technology in fostering innovation within HR departments by supporting predictive analytics and AI-driven decision-making, which can further enhance operational efficiency. In addition to operational benefits, cloud-based MIS facilitate a more seamless integration of HR functions across geographically dispersed teams, allowing for enhanced collaboration and communication. This capability is especially critical as SMEs continue to adopt remote and hybrid work models.

Introduction: Stroke has become a public health problem worldwide, being the second leading cause of functional limitation, which results in motor dysfunctions in the upper limbs, affecting the notion of space and body senses. These alterations are related to touch, temperature, pain and proprioception, extensor/flexor spasms, increased tendon reflexes, spastic co-contraction, dystonia, fatigability or spasticity. Mirror therapy has been considered a very effective form of treatment for motor dysfunctions. Thus, the present study aims to evaluate the use of mirror therapy in the functional recovery of the upper limbs in patients with sequelae after stroke, in addition to its impact on the quality of life of the participants. Methodology: This study is an integrative literature review with searches in the following databases: PubMed, Medline, Cochrane and Pedro, with articles published between 2019 and 2024. Results and discussion: Thirteen studies were selected, which presented mirror therapy associated with other therapeutic approaches, demonstrating their results in relation to motor functionality, manual dexterity, motor control and grasping. Final Considerations: Based on the findings, it was possible to observe that mirror therapy can contribute significantly to the rehabilitation of upper limb motor function and quality of life of patients after stroke.
ATUAÇÃO FISIOTERAPÊUTICA NA PREVENÇÃO DE LESÃO MENISCAL EM JOGADORES DE FUTEBOL: UMA REVISÃO BIBLIOGRÁFICA INTEGRATIVA
Authors: Brito Diego de Oliveira , Neto José Vieira da Silva
Published: October 2024

Meniscal injuries are common among football players due to the high physical demands and repetitive movements required by the sport. Given the importance of preventing and treating these injuries, this study aims to explore physiotherapeutic treatment in football, as the role of physiotherapists has been gradually expanding in sports, seeking more effective approaches to prevent these injuries. The objective was to analyze the role of physiotherapy in preventing meniscal injuries in professional football players of both sexes. An integrative literature review was conducted using the PICO methodology, covering studies published in the last five years. The results indicate that 193 articles were initially identified, of which 5 randomized clinical trials were selected after applying inclusion criteria. Physical therapy, through muscle strengthening exercises, proprioception, and other techniques, can be as effective as surgery in the recovery of athletes. In addition to helping prevent new injuries, physical therapy can, in some cases, replace the need for surgical interventions. It is concluded that physiotherapy is a viable strategy for preventing and treating meniscal injuries, although more research is needed to understand its long-term effects.

Diante de grandes movimentos migratórios vivenciados pelo Brasil nos últimos  tempos, os quais são gerados por conflitos políticos, crises econômicas, desastres  naturais ou guerras, surgem iniciativas científicas que busquem mitigar a questão  linguística subjacente a estes movimentos migratórios, inclusive e sobretudo no  Amazonas. Frente à referida problemática, este projeto busca aprofundar a  investigação das perspectivas teóricas que informam o exame de proficiência Celpe Bras, sobretudo as concepções de leitura e produção de textos escritos e orais,  desdobrando esta investigação na elaboração de metodologia do ensino de Português  Língua Adicional (PLA). A relevância do projeto deve-se à escassez de pesquisa  acerca do exame Celpe-Bras no âmbito da Faculdade de Letras - FLET da  Universidade Federal do Amazonas, em que pese a demanda enorme colocada por  migrantes de crise na cidade de Manaus e municípios do entorno, sobretudo por  haitianos e venezuelanos, que buscam a proficiência da língua portuguesa para  diferentes processos de inclusão social, de mercado de trabalho. Acrescente-se a isso  que a Faculdade de Letras, apesar de funcionar como polo aplicador de provas do  exame Celpe-Bras, não oferta disciplinas na área de Português Língua Adicional.

Authors: Nwafor Stephen Chinedu , Amobi Uchenna Vivian , Uche Ekwutosi Doris
Published: October 2024

This study investigated the effects of environmental factors on the academic performance and interest of undergraduate scientific education students in Nigerian universities, as well as the funding implications. A descriptive survey research design was used in the study. The study included 270 final-year undergraduate students from the Department of Science Education at two Nigerian universities: Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Igbariam, and Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. Both universities are located in the sixth state of Anambra. The study used a sample of 161 students, 56 of whom were male and 105 of whom were female, that was drawn by chance sampling methods. Three experts verified the questionnaire, which was used as the data gathering tool. Using the Cronbach Alpha formula, the dependability of 0.90 was determined. The hypothesis was examined using t-test statistics at the 0.05 level of significance, and the research topic was addressed using mean and standard deviation. The study's conclusions showed that, while gender had no discernible impact on how science education students responded to the aforementioned environmental factors, socioeconomic background, good school infrastructure, extracurricular activities, class size, accommodations, attitudes of teachers and parents, appropriate teaching methods, and poor lighting in school buildings and hostels could all affect students' interest and achievement in science education at universities. Further strategies for enhancing the environmental elements that affect academic achievement and interest of science education students in universities include the government's and alumni's funding of science labs and infrastructure, fostering university competition, using appropriate teaching methods, and properly citing of schools.
The Recovery Coach: An Intentional, Relational Interventionist as a Response to the COVID-19 Incomplete Grade Trend
Authors:   , Turrano Melanie
Published: October 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed many crises in education; fair and just grading was but one. During that tumultuous time, colleges improvised and created many “hold harmless” grading policies to provide empathy and understanding to students as well as to retain students otherwise negatively impacted by the inequities in their personal lives as well as the socioeconomic digital divide. One “due no harm” policy enacted at the community college where this study occurred was the encouragement of Incomplete (I) grades that prevented student failure in the short term, but traditionally results in long-term failure when the grade of Incomplete (I) converts to a failing grade. The Incomplete Grade Recovery Program was piloted wherein students with an (I) grade were assigned Recovery Success Coaches to support them in their recovery of incomplete work during the sessions in between fall and spring semesters and spring and fall semesters. The purpose of this study was to both understand how Recovery Coaches worked to support students in recovering their (I) grades and to evaluate the program’s effectiveness from the perspective of 45 participants (the Recovery Coaches, Recovery Students, and the Faculty who enrolled their students in the program). Grounded in the theories of Relational Pedagogy, Intrusive Advising/Counseling, and Servingness, the research methodology is a mixed-methods design that blends quantitative, longitudinal institutional data that represent the community college’s Incomplete (I) grade history, program’s effectiveness, and responses collected from a Faculty survey with the qualitative stories gathered from one-on-one Recovery Coach interviews and a six-student focus group. The findings of this study indicated that Recovery Coaches’ relational, intrusive approaches were leveling factors in motivating academically vulnerable students to arrive at the same academic outcome (the conversion of the (I) grade to a passing grade) as the more academically-abled who did not take part in the program.
Strength, Beauty, and Resilience: The Impact of Self Reflection & Exploration of Memory on Postmodern Feminist Educators, Inside and Outside the Classroom
Authors:   , Rosania-Harvie MaryJo
Published: October 2024

This study utilizes an autoethnographic methodology, informed by narrative inquiry, to explore the impact of memories on feminist educators. The participants in the study included two of the researcher’s former colleagues and one former student. The study's goal was to examine how the relationships between researcher and participant and the memories they shared impacted them as educators; in the process, the concept of authenticity in educators was examined in relation to the research and the participants’ feminist and postmodern approach. The researcher collected qualitative data through interviews, personal journals, timelining, and an epistolary writing exercise to define authenticity and explore the characteristics of feminist and postmodern educators. The data highlighted the most important traits found in these educators and the researcher's characteristics to examine how these traits developed through a lifetime of educational experiences. Rooted in a feminist leadership theoretical framework and framed by postmodernism and educator critical reflection, the study highlights how critical reflection of memories is meaningful for educators; it enables them to make deeper connections with students and colleagues.
Exploring Student Experience Through Photovoice: A Transformative Approach to Studying School Climate and Culture at CHS
Authors:   , Gold-Thomas Christopher
Published: October 2024

Student data is an integral part of the decision-making process in classrooms, school buildings, and school districts. However, what is often missed within data collected is student voice. At Castle High School there is a current push to understand current school culture and make positive changes to enhance the student experience. Current forms of data collection methods conducted by the school include surveys and focus groups, but these methods exclude large parts of the student body. Photovoice, a form of qualitative participatory action research engages students in an emancipatory practice that allows them to photograph their experience in the school and present it to policymakers. To enact positive policy changes within CHS, photovoice is recommended to address climate and culture concerns within the school to enhance student experience. This study leverages student experience and teacher experience to develop an understanding of photovoices’ uses in the high school setting.
A Teacher and Her Language Minoritized Students in a Translanguaging Mathematics Classroom: Activating and Suppressing Our Full Linguistic Repertoires for Increased Mathematical Reasoning and Sense-Making
Authors:   , Bogota Ana
Published: October 2024

This study delves into translanguaging practices within a mathematics classroom led by a bilingual teacher and attended by language minoritized students. Grounded in translanguaging theory and practices, it investigates the dynamic language interactions between teacher and students, shedding light on the activation and suppression of linguistic features within purported “named languages.” Utilizing diverse data sources, such as audio-recorded lessons and student interviews, the study uncovers patterns in classroom language use. Results highlight the prevalent utilization of the full linguistic repertoire by both teacher and students, especially in elucidating mathematical concepts and fostering conceptual understanding. Furthermore, the study examines how translanguaging facilitates communication, fosters inclusivity, and enhances students' sense-making. Through student interviews, six key themes emerge, including comfort and perceived benefits, language support, preference for mixed-language instruction, challenges with English pronunciation, strategies for understanding, and impacts on participation and confidence. Ultimately, the study advocates for cultivating supportive learning environments that embrace linguistic diversity and promote sense-making, aligning with the essence of translanguaging and the standards set by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, alongside recommendations from reform math pedagogy.
Assessing the Effectiveness of Wet Mount and PCR Methods in Diagnosing Trichomonas vaginalis Infections in Endocervical and Urine samples
Authors: Mosa Zhiman N , Al Jarjari Senaa Abdullah Ali.
Published: October 2024

Trichomonas vaginalis is the cause of trichomonas’s infection, which is referred to be the global sexually transmitted disease (STD) worldwide. This parasite primarily spreads through sexual activity, though it can also spread through intimate. Vaginal inflammation in females causes a variety of clinical symptoms, such as a profusion of greenish-yellow, frothy, foul-smelling discharge, valvar enlargement, itching, and punctate erythematous lesions of the cervix, commonly referred to as "strawberry cervix." There are numerous scenarios in which women may be sick but not exhibit any symptoms. The purpose of the current study is to compare the diagnostic efficacy of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and wet mount preparation for detecting T. vaginalis in various sample types, including endocervical discharge, endocervical swabs, and urine, of 300 female patients (married and single), ages ranging from 15 to 62, who were referred to Dohuk Maternity Hospital, Shariya Camp, either inside or outside of Dohuk city. Based on the clinical symptoms of the patients, the diagnosis of parasite infection was validated by microscopically confirming the infection in the laboratory using two methods: PCR and direct wet mount preparation. The study findings demonstrated, out of 240 samples, 61 (25.4%) at Dohuk Maternity Hospital and 15 (25%) out of 60 samples in Shariya Camp were contaminated with T. vaginalis. Of the 300 samples, 74 (24.6%) had wet mount preparation infection, and 75 (25.0%) had PCR infection. In the current study, 42 single women had 10 (23.8%) and 258 married women had 66 (25.5%) infected. The age range of 15 to 25 had a higher infection rate (32.8%).

Authors: Murad Rehab , Abed Reema Mohamed
Published: October 2024

Background: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a kind of arthritis marked by persistent inflammation in the spine's joints, usually at the point where the spine and pelvis meet. Such a disease has different causes, including immunological causes. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the role of the immune system in this disease to improve a potential treatment strategy. In this context, the present study examined the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the IL-40 gene of IL-40 in a group of Iraqi males with AS to determine their associations in AS pathogenesis.  Method: The study included a total of 200 Iraqi male participants (100 with AS and 100 healthy subjects). The detection of SNPs of IL-40 was performed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques followed by the Sanger sequencing method. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the SNPs under five genetic models (allele, recessive, dominant, and co-dominant).  Results: Detected that the heterozygous genotype (GA and AA) and alleles (G and A) of rs72896265, the heterozygous genotype (AG and GG) and alleles (A and G) of rs60316778 and both heterozygous genotype (CC) and alleles (C and T) of rs9915090 were significantly associated with AS risk (p < 0.001).

Published: October 2024

Background: This study presents a statistical analysis of the risk factors associated with confirmed cases of pulmonary embolism (PE) at the emergency department of Dubai Hospital. The objective is to identify the riskiest patients. Methodology: This is a retrospective analytical study of all patients who presented to the emergency department of Dubai Hospital between January 1, 2018, and June 30, 2020, and were diagnosed with acute pulmonary embolism, confirmed by CT pulmonary angiogram. Results: Obesity was identified in 42.5% of cases, while travelers accounted for 27.7% of pulmonary embolism cases. Other risk factors accounted for 8.5%. Discussion: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk was highest among patients hospitalized after surgery, with a nearly 22-fold increased risk. Patients with neurological diseases and extremity paralysis had a threefold increased risk. For travelers, there is an association between long-distance air travel and VTE, even among individuals at low to moderate risk. Further research is needed to explore traditional risk factors and prophylactic measures in air travel-related VTE. Conclusion: Obesity and referral from the airport medical center were the most prominent risk factors for pulmonary embolism in the Dubai Hospital emergency department.
Impact of COVID-19 Vaccination on Menstrual Cycle, Quality of Life and Perception on Fertility: A Mixed Methods Study of Women in Delhi-NCR
Authors: Khurana Dr. Rati , Kumar Dr. Nimisha , Gupta Dr. Lokesh
Published: October 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic presented extraordinary challenges which led individuals to make global efforts to develop a vaccine that could help battle the spread of the infection. The COVID-19 vaccine came as a sigh of relief for the world, but whilst we assess the positives, we must consider looking into the potential impacts it has had on aspects of health, including female reproductive health. The current study aimed at assessing the potential impacts that COVID-19 vaccination had on menstrual cycles and the perception of women about fertility-related issues following the jab through a comprehensive mixed methods design. A structured survey, using the Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire (MSQ) and WHO Quality of life scale was carried out with a diverse sample (n=500) of women (18-40 years) in the Delhi-NCR region, collecting data on menstrual cycle changes post receiving the Vaccine. Additionally, semi-structured interviews were conducted with a subset of the participants (n=15) to understand the perceptions of women about fertility-related issues following the Vaccine. The study suggests that most of the participants reported facing menstrual concerns such as missed periods, menstrual irregularities, excessive menstrual bleeding and increased cramping on the first day of their period. Through semi-structured interviews, the themes that emerged were fear regarding conception, early menopause, infertility, mood changes, anxiety, fatigue, less pain tolerance and problems with menstrual flow. Alongside, many had low scores on the quality-of-life questionnaire which was understood better through semi-structured interviews. Cognitive distortions were observed among participants while they explained their perceptions of the whole scenario. The study seeks to address a critical topic and fill knowledge gaps to understand the possible health impacts the COVID-19 vaccine has on women’s reproductive health. The study would contribute to creating scientific evidence and valuable insights for the health industry to understand any potential side effects the vaccine could have.

Gerd Bornheim leitor da Estética de Hegel
Authors: Hussak van Velthen Ramos Pedro
Published: October 2024

This article analyzes Gerd Bornheim's reading of Hegel’s aesthetics in order to show in what sense it plays a fundamental role in the Brazilian philosopher's thinking on the question of History. In addition, it is a question of looking at the panorama of philosophical debates in the city of Rio de Janeiro in the early 1990s to show how the fact that Bornheim was reading and discussing Hegel and Marx went against the dominant trend of the time, which was strongly marked by resistance to both thinkers due to the collapse of the Soviet system in 1989. Although in Dialética Bornheim aligned himself with Heidegger to critique the notion of totality in Hegel's philosophy of history, he did not adhere to the Heideggerian proposal of a “return to origin”, popular in philosophy departments in Rio de Janeiro at the time. Arguing that the theme of sensibility was itself an obstacle to Hegel’s idealism, Bornheim sought to construct a meaning for history based on the assumption of the theme of difference in the 20th century philosophy.
A Statement on Abortion by 170 Obstetricians/ Gynecologists after the Reversal of Roe v Wade
Authors: Cirucci Christina , Valley Michael
Published: October 2024

In a recent American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 900 professors submitted a Special Report calling for reinstating federal protection for abortion. Here, we provide an alternative consensus statement. Induced abortion is not a constitutional right. We, too, value patient autonomy, but autonomy does not allow for causing harm to another human being, in this case, the human fetus. We share concern about maternal mortality in the United States, but evidence shows that induced abortion increases, not decreases, maternal mortality. We share the authors’ concern for the effect of induced abortion on minority populations and mourn the fact that the abortion rate in non-Hispanic black patients is three times that of non-Hispanic white patients and twice that of Hispanic patients. Many obstetricians/gynecologists, like ourselves, do not support abortion, and most obstetricians/gynecologists do not perform abortions. Induced abortion is not necessary to provide evidence-based care. We also have seen tragic situations and misinformation and want to work toward addressing these issues. We support the highest level of clinical practice, bodily autonomy, reproductive freedom, and evidence-based care for both our patients—the pregnant woman and the human being in utero—whom we have dedicated our lives to serving.

Published: October 2024

Objetivo: Evaluar la eficacia hipotensora y la percepción de los pacientes tratados con latanoprosteno bunod al 0,024%.
Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio clínico unicéntrico de una serie de casos con pacientes que estaban en tratamiento previo con latanoprost 0,005, quienes luego de un período de lavado comenzaron a usar latanoprosteno bunod. Se evaluó la presión intraocular antes del cambio de tratamiento y a los 3 meses, y la opinión de los pacientes explorada mediante preguntas relacionadas con las diferencias percibidas entre ambos tratamientos. También se midieron la agudeza visual mejor corregida y el aspecto biomicroscópico de la superficie ocular evaluado mediante tinción con fluoresceína (escala Oxford).
Resultados: Un total de 36 pacientes (72 ojos) realizó el estudio. La PIO fue de 13,4 ± 2,1 (9-18) al comienzo y a los 3 meses, de 13,1 ± 1,7 (9-16), diferencia que no fue estadísticamente significativa (p=0,63). El puntaje obtenido con la escala Oxford fue de 0,6 ± 0,7 (0-3) al inicio, de 0,5 ± 0,8 (0-2) al mes y disminuyó a 0,2 ± 0,8 (0-2) a los 3 meses con una diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p=0,01). Preferencia de los pacientes que antes estaban con latanoprost y que utilizaron posteriormente latanoprosteno bunod: 41,7%; latanoprost: 22,2%; indistinto: 36,1%.
Conclusión: El tratamiento con latanoprosteno bunod resultó al menos igual de eficaz que el latanoprost pero mejoró la superficie ocular. Esta podría ser una razón por la cual casi el doble de pacientes prefirieron el primer medicamento luego de tres meses de tratamiento.

Objetivos: Determinar si existe relación entre el espesor coroideo y la vascularización superficial de la retina con la presencia de diabetes mellitus o hipertensión arterial sistémica utilizando la técnica EDI-OCT y OCT-A como herramienta de evaluación.
Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional, prospectivo y analítico de corte transversal de pacientes sanos y con diabetes y/o hipertensión arterial a quienes —como parte de la consulta oftalmológica— se les realizó EDI-OCT para medir el espesor coroideo y OCT-A para medir la vascularización y la perfusión retinal.
Resultados: Se evaluaron 168 pacientes de 52,48 ± 13,6 años, de los cuales el 57% (96) era sano, el 40,5% (67) tenía diabetes mellitus, y el 47,7% (32) de ellos tenía hipertensión arterial sistémica asociada. Se demostró que a mayor edad hay una disminución del espesor coroideo 257,7 ± 59,43 μm (p<0,001). El espesor coroideo subfoveal fue de 246,58 ± 55,74 μm en diabetes (p=0,02), espesor coroideo nasal 233,22 ± 54,77 μm (p=0,02), temporal 237,24 ± 57,55 μm (p=0,02). Al analizar OCT-A, la densidad vascular periférica en pacientes sanos fue de 20,99 ± 2,25mm2, en diabetes 19,60 ± 2,17 mm2 (p<0,001), y con retinopatía diabética 18,95 ± 2,24 mm2 (p<0,001). La densidad de vasos total en sanos fue 19,74 ± 2,24 mm2 (p<0,001) y para diabetes mellitus 18,37 ± 2,16 mm2 (p<0,001). En zona avascular foveal no hubo diferencias significativas entre grupos.
Conclusión: El espesor coroideo disminuye no sólo con la edad de los pacientes sino que también en diabetes mellitus, hipertensión arterial sistémica y en los que tienen ambas patologías. La densidad de vasos retinales y la perfusión vascular es menor en pacientes diabéticos, con retinopatía diabética y edema macular diabético, que en los pacientes del grupo control.

Published: October 2024

Objetivo: Presentar un caso de enfermedad por arañazo de gato expresado mediante un síndrome oculoglandular de Parinaud.
Caso clínico: Un paciente de 15 años consultó por ojo rojo izquierdo, estado febril con parotiditis y adenopatía ipsilateral de 5 días de evolución. Se observó conjuntivitis granulomatosa unilateral que conformaba la expresión del síndrome de Parinaud. Mediante anamnesis se obtuvo el antecedente de contacto con gato. Se confirmó diagnóstico de enfermedad por arañazo de gato mediante serología (IgG de Bartonella henselae 1/256, IgM negativa). Se indicó tratamiento con azitromicina 500 mg cada 24 horas por vía oral durante 5 días, comprobando resolución del cuadro en 2 semanas.
Conclusión: La enfermedad por arañazo de gato debe sospecharse ante un cuadro de conjuntivitis granulomatosa unilateral, sobre todo en contexto de linfadenopatía como se observa en el síndrome de Parinaud. El tratamiento con antibiótico oral resulta efectivo.

Objetivo: Presentación de manejo terapéutico multidisciplinario en un caso clínico de trauma orbitario con destrucción de globo ocular y afectación de masa encefálica.
Caso clínico: Paciente recibido en guardia con traumatismo órbito-encefálico por fragmento de madera que quedó incrustado. Tras realizar tomografía computada se observó destrucción de globo ocular izquierdo, con fractura de órbita y lesión encefálica. Se realizó interconsulta con neurocirujano. Se procedió a cirugía, donde actuó primero el neurocirujano y luego el oftalmólogo para retirar restos oculares, fragmentos de madera intraorbitarios y realizar un lavado de toda la zona. Finalizó la cirugía el otorrinolaringólogo. Luego de la recuperación general en terapia intensiva, fue evaluado en consulta oftalmológica donde se constató que el ojo derecho estaba sin alteración y mantenía la visión de 10 décimas sin signos inflamatorios en cámara anterior ni en fondo de ojos. Se derivó el caso a un centro de alta complejidad para cirugía reconstructiva.
Conclusión: Ante un trauma ocular con afectación orbital es relevante descartar afectación encefálica que, de confirmarse como en el presente caso, requiere de un abordaje terapéutico multidisciplinario y se debe actuar en forma coordinada, tanto en el acto quirúrgico como en los posteriores controles.
Türkiye’de Yaygın Din Eğitimi -1950 Sonrası- Bir Sözlü Tarih Çalışması
Authors: Ecer Münir
Published: October 2024

Yakın bir tarihin konu edildiği çalışmalarda belgelerin yanı sıra bu tarihin canlı tanıklarının da veri toplama sürecine dâhil edilmesi, konunun daha etraflı bir şekilde anlaşılmasına ve daha güvenilir sonuçların elde edilmesine olanak tanımaktadır. Literatürde sözlü tarih ismiyle yer alan bu araştırma metodolojisinin tarihi konu edinen farklı bilimsel disiplinler için kullanımının giderek yaygınlaştığını gözlemleyebilmek mümkündür. Cumhuriyet tarihi ve Türkiye’deki din eğitiminin seyri özelinde düşünüldüğünde günümüz itibariyle bir asırlık süreci geride bırakan bir tecrübenin belgeler, resmî kararlar, uygulamalar ve akademik çalışmalarının yanı sıra bizatihi deneyimleri ile henüz hayatta bulunan tanıklarının da mevcut olduğu görülmektedir. Dolayısıyla din eğitimi tarihi araştırmalarında, özellikle cumhuriyet dönemi din eğitimi tecrübesine ilişkin, satır arası diye nitelendirilebilecek verileri elde etmek, başka bir bakış açısıyla cumhuriyet dönemi din eğitiminin detaylarına vakıf olabilmek amacıyla sözlü tarih yöntemi ile veri elde edip sürece odaklanmanın önem arz ettiği söylenebilir. Elinizdeki eser, böyle bir düşünceden hareketle dönemi tecrübe eden tanıkların bakış açısıyla Türkiye’de 1950’lerden 1970’lere kadar yaygın din eğitimi faaliyetlerini ele almaktadır. Okuyucu, bu eserde canlı tanıkların anılarıyla inşa edilmiş bir yakın tarih yolculuğuna çıkmaktadır.

Coastal communities are highly vulnerable to climate change impacts, including sea level rise, extreme weather events, and ecological degradation These challenges pose significant threats to the livelihoods, infrastructure and well-being of coastal communities , especially in developing areas with limited resources to grow The effectiveness of -based optimization strategies (CBA) is investigated. The crisis statement focuses on the urgent need for sustainable and adaptable adaptation solutions that can mitigate the negative impacts of climate change, and enable communities to take ownership of these efforts. Traditional top-down approaches have generally proven inadequate to address the unique socio-cultural and environmental dynamics of coastal areas. The objectives of this study are threefold: to identify and analyze key CBA strategies that have been implemented in coastal areas, to assess their effectiveness in reducing vulnerability and increasing resilience, and to explore the role of local knowledge, resources and governance play a part in the development of a successful change strategy. The results show significant improvements in several key areas. Income increased by 25%, and 35% of households adopted climate-resilient lifestyles. Economic losses from disasters were reduced by 45% and key infrastructure was strengthened by 80% against climate risk. The study found a 28% reduction in climate-related diseases, a 90% increase in water quality and the restoration of 600 hectares of biodiversity, leading to a loss of biodiversity above 20%. In addition, 75% of the community participated actively in decision-making, and 65% of the reform projects integrated traditional knowledge. These findings suggest that CBA strategies not only effectively reduce the immediate risks of climate change, but also build long-term resilience by empowering communities to lead the adaptation process. The study highlights the importance of scaling up these initiatives to increase coastal resilience globally.

The dentigerous cyst is an odontogenic cyst associated with the crown of unerupted teeth, inflammation or after trauma. It is asymptomatic, unilocular, predominantly in the mandible and male. The objective of this case was to report the diagnosis and treatment of the dentigerous cyst. The anamnesis, clinical examination and complementary tests were carried out in order to obtain a thorough diagnosis and the best possible treatment. The diagnosis through radiographic examinations and CT scans was extremely important, allowing the visualization of anatomical conditions and structures, dental fracture, presence of fixed plates and appearance of the lesion. Surgical treatment by means of enucleation was the most indicated technique according to the conditions presented, considering the circumstances of the patient and the size of the lesion. Complete removal of the lesion, extraction of element 45 and partial removal of the miniplate were performed. Therefore, the biopsy is essential to corroborate a differential diagnosis, the excisional type is recommended for small and benign lesions.
