Performance of the tetra-primer PCR technique compared to PCR-RFLP in the search for rs12979860 (C/T) and rs8099917 (T/G) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IFNL4 gene
Authors: Kindermann Ellen Hochleitner Souza , Rodrigues Campos Karoline , Caterino-de-Araujo Adele
Published: June 2024

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, rs12979860 e rs8099917) in the Interferon Lambda 4 gene (IFNL4, formerly IFNL3 and/or IL28B) has been associated with failure in the innate immune response, sustained virological response in hepatitis C, and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy (HAM) development. To search for these polymorphisms several methodologies can be employed, such as sequencing, real-time or quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis in PCR products (PCR-RFLP), and tetra-primer PCR. The present study compared the performance of the tetra-primer PCR in relation to the PCR-RFLP, both optimized in the Research HTLV Laboratory of the Center of Immunology of Instituto Adolfo Lutz in São Paulo. One hundred DNA samples obtained from patients of STD/Aids Reference Centre in São Paulo, previously analyzed for IL28B SNPs by PCR-RFLP were selected for analysis, after confirming that they represent all IL28B SNPs patterns described in the literature. The results obtained showed concordance between the PCR-RFLP and the tetra-primer PCR SNPs results, and because of the low cost, easy to perform, and minor employment of biological specimen and reagents, the tetra- primer PCR is of choice to be used in routine.
Análise da influência de determinantes meteorológicos na periodicidade de epidemias de dengue em Porto Alegre
Authors: Breda Rafaela , De Souza da Motta Amanda
Published: June 2024

A incidência da dengue, doença viral transmitida pelo mosquito Aedes aegypti, vem crescendo em Porto Alegre ao longo dos anos, com recorde de casos registrados em 2022. Epidemias da doença parecem ocorrer de forma cíclica no município, com registros a cada três anos. Dada a influência de fatores climáticos no ciclo de vida do vetor, este trabalho buscou analisar a influência de determinantes meteorológicos na periodicidade de epidemias de dengue na capital gaúcha entre 2010 e 2022. Análises descritivas foram realizadas para averiguar o padrão dos indicadores climáticos e dos casos de dengue ao longo dos anos, ao passo que análises estatísticas foram feitas para avaliar a correlação entre os fatores climáticos e os casos autóctones registrados entre 2016 e 2022. Os resultados obtidos não apontaram padrões meteorológicos que se repetem a cada três anos e que poderiam explicar a ciclicidade observada. Ainda, não foram constatadas correlações entre temperatura, umidade e pluviosidade com casos autóctones de dengue no município, ao menos em nível quadrimestral. Para além destas análises, constatou-se expressivo aumento de casos em 2022, apesar dos esforços de controle desempenhados pelo poder público, o que aponta a necessidade de maior investimento em educação em saúde para a população.

Published: June 2024

This study explores the application of data science and AI techniques in predicting customer churn within the telecommunications industry, a sector characterized by intense competition and high customer turnover rates. By analyzing historical customer data, including usage patterns and service preferences, the study aims to identify factors contributing to churn and propose targeted retention strategies to mitigate losses. Traditional classification algorithms and ensemble techniques are evaluated using the Telecom-Customer-Churn dataset, with emphasis on the underutilized Stacking ensemble method. The results demonstrate that ensemble learning algorithms, particularly the Stacking model, outperform single algorithms, with CatBoost exhibiting the highest accuracy at 0.8119, followed closely by RandomForest at 0.7902 and XGBoost at 0.7820. These findings underscore CatBoost's superior generalization capabilities, likely attributed to its adept handling of categorical features and missing values, and its ability to model complex data relationships. The study contributes to advancing understanding of ensemble models and offers valuable insights for predicting telecom customer churn, thereby aiding in the development of effective retention strategies and enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Being You — Or Not: A Challenge for Garfield and Seth
Authors: Zahavi Dan
Published: June 2024

In recent publications, Jay Garfield and Anil Seth have both written about the you. Whereas Garfield is a Buddhist scholar who advocates a no-self view, Seth is a neuroscientist who defends a radical form of representationalism. But is it really possible to speak meaningfully of a you
(and of a we) if one denies the existence of the self, and if one declares the world of experience a neuronal fantasy? In the following, I will criticize both accounts. I will argue that they both, in different ways, are unable to deal with a real other, and, drawing on the work of Husserl,
I will argue that a proper understanding of the you doesn't merely require accepting the reality of the self, but also the existence of a shared lifeworld.

Authors: K. Alarfaj Abdullah
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Isotretinoin, a potent acne treatment, has notable side effects, including depression and teratogenicity. Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH), characterized by elevated intracranial pressure, has been linked to isotretinoin. This study explores the awareness of IIH among isotretinoin users in Saudi Arabia, addressing a crucial healthcare concern. Methodology: It is a cross-sectional study conducted in Saudi Arabia using a self-administered questionnaire shared via social media and in dermatology clinics. Data is cleaned in excel and analyzed in IBM SPSS 29. Results: Our study included 420 Isotretinoin users, primarily females (76.9%), aged 18-25 (64.3%), from Eastern (29.5%) and Western (26.7%) regions, with high school (49.3%) and university graduates (46.7%). All used Isotretinoin for acne treatment, with varied usage durations. Some used additional medications like Vit. A (Retinol) (23.1%). Notably, only 26.7% were aware of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH), and 18.1% believed Isotretinoin increased IIH risk. Educational level significantly impacted IIH awareness (p<0.001), while age, gender, and regional factors had less impact. Acne presence did not notably affect IIH awareness. Conclusion: Our study emphasizes the necessity of enhancing Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) awareness among Isotretinoin users. Despite some sociodemographic influences on awareness, there is a pervasive lack that requires targeted education for safer medication use and improved patient outcomes.

O presente trabalho descreve um estudo de caso aplicado realizado com crianças em diferentes níveis de escrita, baseado nas pesquisas teóricas-metodológicas da psicanálise, com o intuito de inferir as contribuições do uso das fábulas nas produções textuais para o desenvolvimento do processo de letramento e alfabetização, conceituados amplamente pelos Teóricos da Educação. Esse estudo foi realizado em uma turma do segundo ano do ensino fundamental – anos iniciais, de uma escola pública municipal na cidade de Fortaleza-Ceará. É importante frisar que conforme a teoria da psicogênese da escrita, elaborada por Ferreiro e Teberosky, os discentes passam por quatro períodos distintos sujeitos a hipóteses ou explicações para como a escrita alfabética funciona, sendo classificados em: pré-silábico (distinção entre desenho e escrita), silábico (construção de formas de diferenciação das escritas), silábico-alfabético (fonetização da escrita) e alfabético (a criança estabelece correspondência entre fonema e grafema). Destarte, a partir dos dados coletados foi possível observar que as utilizações das fábulas durante as produções textuais contribuíram positivamente para o desenvolvimento da escrita, favoreceram o protagonismo infantil e despertaram o interesse pela leitura. Sabe-se da importância de se identificar as etapas de leitura e escrita dos alunos. Pois, as melhores ferramentas pedagógicas poderão ser propostas visando o crescimento e desenvolvimento educacional fazendo-os progredir de forma eficiente e personalizada. O uso de fábula tornou as aulas de português e os assuntos interdiscipinares muito mais significativos. A prática possibilitou uma aprendizagem muito eficaz e possibilitou de forma efetiva a evolução da aprendizagem garantido assim uma educação de qualidade prevista na Constituição Federal e demais documentos norteadores.

Published: June 2024

In forest management, it is crucial to ensure process efficiency to maintain economic viability, especially in native forests where timber volume varies due to the uneven distribution of commercially valuable species. This variability poses a challenge for harvest planning, as the inherent heterogeneity of these forests often results in inconsistent productivity. This study employs the SOTER-PA system, an algorithm-based tool utilizing a minimalist tabu search, to achieve a more homogeneous territorial planning structure for better utilization of natural resources and increased economic returns from forestry activities. The study area is the Tapajós National Forest in the state of Pará, with a forest inventory database covering 2,218.7 hectares and 28,369 trees across 93 species. After applying exclusion criteria and data processing, 8,644 trees were deemed suitable for harvest. The tests suggested a new organization of Work Units, enabling a more balanced income distribution among them, and delineating the areas to be exploited in each cutting cycle. The results show that SOTER-PA not only improves the equitable distribution of natural resources but also enhances economic productivity. This improvement is attributed to the more homogeneous and optimized distribution of high-value species like red cedar and purpleheart. Furthermore, when comparing the SOTER-PA generated parcels with conventional management, the parcels created by SOTER-PA were more homogeneous, with better productivity quality and lower standard deviation, indicating greater uniformity. Thus, the use of SOTER-PA proves to be an efficient alternative for optimizing sustainable forest management planning, offering a more effective method for sustainable territorial planning in native forests, providing both economic and environmental benefits.

rappresentazione del tempo nel linguaggio
Authors: Bonomi Andrea
Published: June 2024

Nella percezione del mondo attorno a noi un ruolo fondamentale è svolto dalle nozioni temporali, che ci permettono per esempio di percepire un particolare evento come qualcosa che è già accaduto, che sta accadendo o che accadrà. È allora naturale chiedersi come le diverse dimensioni del tempo vengono rappresentate nel linguaggio: un problema, questo, che è stato al centro di studi condotti in ambiti disciplinari diversi, che vanno dalla filosofia alla linguistica, dalla logica alla psicologia, solo per citare i più noti, spesso richiamati nel corso dell’esposizione.L’analisi condotta in queste pagine è di tipo semantico, nel senso che cerca di individuare il significato delle costruzioni linguistiche attraverso le quali esprimiamo la nostra capacità di cogliere l’ordine temporale degli eventi rappresentati. L’impianto formale adottato permette di analizzare con rigore l’insieme di problemi che hanno caratterizzato la riflessione sulla natura delle espressioni temporali e gli interrogativi corrispondenti, come quelli che riguardano la durata del presente o la rappresentazione di stati di cose che hanno cessato d’essere, o che devono ancora accadere.D’altra parte, per rendere l’analisi più accessibile al lettore che non ha familiarità con gli strumenti adottati in questo studio, ogni singola formula è accompagnata dalla sua traduzione in un linguaggio più intuitivo.Il capitolo finale è dedicato al problema della struttura temporale della narrazione nel caso di romanzi, racconti e in genere di contesti che sembrano presupporre un ordine delle cose alternativo a quello della realtà che ci circonda.

The paper seeks to provide evidence on the government policy’s moderating role in donor-funded procurement in the laboratory services of Zimbabwe. Procurement is a key component for any organisation to function optimally and the medical laboratory service is no exception considering that the donors are the major funders of the department hence the need for this study to examine the government policy as the moderating variable for this research. Medical laboratory services plays a very important role in the functioning of any health sector as every disease have to be tested to ascertain the actual disease a person suffering from before any treatment can be commenced. The aim of the paper was to examine the moderating role of government policy on donor-funded procurement in Zimbabwe’s laboratory services. This study only focused on donor-funded procurement in the laboratory services of Zimbabwe. The paper made use of a quantitative method research method. Data was collected from 214 respondents from the Ministry of Health and Child Care, Zimbabwe. The study found out that government policy (GP) moderates the pre-donation preparation process (PDPP) (β=0.15, p-value = 0.038) donation requirement process (DRP) (β=0.24, p-value =0.000), donation recipient planning process (DRPP) (β=0.22, p-value = 0.001) and donation implementation process (DIP) (β=0.18, p-value = 0.004) and the effectiveness of donor-funded procurement. Based on the results, the study concluded that government policy has a role to play to support donor-funded procurement in the laboratory services in Zimbabwe and the world over. This study is the first of its kind focusing on how donor-funded procurement can be improved in support of the key health outcomes such as laboratory services.

Literature and the Railroad: The Term “Järnvägsbibliotek” [Railroad Library] in Swedish 19th-Century Newspapers
The 19th century saw the emergence of modern literary institutions in Sweden, and publishing and distribution of literature developed rapidly. Simultaneously, Swedish society was quickly modernized. Industrialization, urbanization and emigration were large-scale processes that transformed everyday life and the social patterns of the country. Not surprisingly, 19th century Swedish literature came to deal with these changes. However, distribution and consumption of literature were also affected by new techniques. In this article, the effects of the new railroads upon literature are studied. The analysis is based on the concept of “järnvägsbibliotek” (“railroad library”) and its use in 19th century Swedish newspapers. This term had several different meanings. It could refer to actual libraries, i.e., book collections, available to travelers at the train stations. But it could also mean literature published or re-published in cheap booklets. The creation of these book collections and booklet series was of course a direct effect of modernization. But they were also mobilized in the struggle against phenomena that were perceived as negative effects of the modern changes in society, such as social unrest, alcoholism and emigration. Journalists and policy makers hoped that a wider distribution of literature could have a morally edifying effect on the population. The instrumental values of literature were put first. With the right selection of literature, and under the supervision of librarians and publishers with appropriate competence for the purpose, the “järnvägsbibliotek” (“railroad libraries”) were championed as a way to curb the social unrest that came with the modernization of 19th-century Swedish society.

There has been an increase in research based on corpus analysis, especially in the field of teaching English to foreign language students. Such research covers aspects like grammar, syntax, morphology, semantics, and pragmatics in a broader sense. However, corpus studies on vocabulary are limited, and the need to work on them has increased in the last decade. Vocabulary is essential in learning and teaching any second language to English as a foreign language (EFL) classes. This study aims to thoroughly analyze vocabulary in three textbooks through a corpus analysis tool that is used to teach English as a foreign language to level 1, level 2, and diploma-taking students at a college in Saudi Arabia. Vocabulary is scrutinized through AntConC (1.4.0), a freeware program that uses statistical algorithms to provide visualizations of word frequencies, lexical clusters, and keywords. The results can be seen in the form of lists, tables, or charts to help you understand and draw conclusions. This selected corpus contains 163,716 word tokens. After statistical analysis of these words, English language teachers (ELTs) will understand what type of vocabulary is important for students for a particular level. It will also tell whether the vocabulary used in these textbooks is the correct representation of academic words when compared to baby BNC. Moreover, the study will provide insight to academicians, language teachers, and curriculum designers on what type of vocabulary is suitable for developing reading, writing, listening, or speaking skills according to the needs and levels of students.

Individuals at increased risk for prostate cancer (PCa) are inconsistently defined in national and international guidelines. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) defines people at increased risk for PCa to include those with a concerning family history, Black/African American individuals, and those who have germline mutations in known PCa-related genes. Recommendations for screening are also inconsistently defined in national and international guidelines. The NCCN and American Urological Association state individuals at increased risk for PCa be screened with prostate-specific antigen and digital rectal exam starting at age 40. Defining increased risk groups and defining lifetime risk is an ongoing academic process that can be facilitated through patient-registries of these cohorts at academic centers.

У дослідженні розглянуто різноманітні наукові підходи до визначення поняття «професійна підготовка майбутніх менеджерів закладів освіти». Схарактеризовано різні погляди науковців щодо проблеми професійної підготовки майбутніх менеджерів закладів освіти, показано актуальність вивчення даного феномену. На основі аналізу наукової літератури встановлено, що «професійна підготовка» розглядається дослідниками як система і як процес Аналіз змісту базових понять дослідження «професійна підготовка», «майбутній менеджер закладу освіти» дозволив з’ясувати розбіжність поглядів науковців у трактуванні останнього, що ускладнює цілісне сприйняття поняття «професійна підготовка майбутніх менеджерів закладів освіти». Визначені і описані закономірності, принципи формування змісту фахової підготовки майбутнього менеджера у сфері освіти, основні групи функцій менеджера закладу освіти. Виділено і проаналізовано 6 історичних періодів розвитку системи професійної підготовки майбутніх менеджерів закладів освіти в Україні; зауважено, що підготовка менеджерів – історично обґрунтований процес, який є невід’ємною частиною сучасного реформування освіти. У процесі підготовки майбутніх керівників закладів освіти основним є формування і розвиток у них сучасних, актуальних загальних і фахових компетентностей. Обґрунтовано, що професійна, управлінська компетентність менеджера закладу освіти, є важливим показником професійного розвитку. Виявлено, що сучасна освіта висуває високі вимоги до майбутнього менеджера. Це зумовлює, що поняття «професійна підготовка майбутнього менеджера закладу освіти» продовжує доповнюватися, розширюватися та стає більш об’ємним і потребує постійного оновлення та розвитку згідно із сучасними вимогами до реформування системи управління освітою, закладами освіти. Оскільки дослідниками не приділена окрема увага проблемі підготовки майбутніх менеджерів освіти до управління науково-методичною роботою, то наші дослідження будуть спрямовані на розкриття методологічних засад підготовки майбутніх менеджерів освіти до управління науково-методичною роботою в умовах магістратури.

This paper discusses the problems that exist in the development of early reading fluency among children in first-tier cities in China, including unclear reading goals, inappropriate selection of reading materials, inadequate teaching methods, and unscientific reading environment. Through on-site experience, open interviews, observation, case studies, and surveys, the author analyzes these problems and proposes corresponding solutions from seven aspects: cultivating reading skills as the core, emphasizing phonemic awareness in teaching, creating a reasonable teaching environment for early childhood reading, setting up a reading area, creating a psychological environment conducive to cultivating children's reading skills, emphasizing the guiding significance of early childhood reading, and creating successful reading experiences for young children. These suggestions and solutions provide relevant decision-making and guidance for kindergartens, parents, and teachers to carry out early reading activities, which have important value for promoting the development of children's early reading fluency in China.
