Giving Voice to the Invisible Through the Use of Participatory Videos to Communicate Community-level Vulnerability to Pelagic Sargassum Influxes in the Eastern Caribbean
Authors: Thomas Bethia , Cumberbatch Janice
Published: December 2024

The islands of the eastern Caribbean have been experiencing unprecedented pelagic sargassum influx events for over a decade now, which has become a significant concern for the region. Several studies have been conducted on this phenomenon, highlighting the need for diverse management responses to address this issue. However, most countries, including Saint Lucia, have been primarily reactive in their approach towards managing sargassum strandings. They have failed to implement a structured and organised plan to manage the influxes of sargassum, resulting in an ad hoc and unplanned response (Brooks et al. 2018, CRFM 2019, Djakourè et al. 2017, Doyle and Franks 2015, Gower and King 2011, Hinds et al. 2016, Hu et al. 2016, Oxenford et al. 2016, Wang and Hu 2017).

In 2017, a draft National Sargassum Management Plan was developed by the Government of Saint Lucia to address this issue. However, this Plan has several gaps and weaknesses, including a lack of consultation with the most vulnerable groups, who would be the most severely affected by sargassum influxes (Cox. Shelly-Ann, Oxenford, and McConney 2019). This is contrary to the approach that should be adopted while seeking to build resilience in communities. When dealing with physical constraints or discrimination, such as poverty, disability, and minority status, people usually have lower adaptive capacity. Therefore, their views and opinions should be considered while developing a Management Plan for sargassum influxes (Cutter, Mitchell, and Scott 2012, Yumarni et al. 2021).

This research had a unique focus called the ‘Voice of the Invisible,’ which aimed to target the poor, disabled, women, and minority groups in three communities in Saint Lucia: Dennery, Praslin, and Micoud. These groups had been excluded from previous data collection processes for sargassum management, and their views had been ignored. This research allowed their ‘voices’ to be heard and their opinions to be captured. The approach was empowering and sought to be all-inclusive, bringing the ‘voice of the voiceless’ at the heart of the discussion. The forum aimed to enable community members to demand accountability and transparency from policymakers while building resilience in the communities (CANARI 2014).
Patriarcado y tecnología. Seguimos en la lucha
Authors: Boix Montserrat
Published: December 2024

El ciberfeminismo social y el hacktivismo feminista, nacidos hace dos décadas para desafiar el patriarcado desde las TIC, enfrentan hoy un contexto donde las tecnologías digitales perpetúan desigualdades, sexismo y sesgos de género en la IA, en un marco de crisis ecológica y conflictos bélicos globales, alimentados por los latifundios tecnológicos. La configuración del mundo digital, la gestión de los datos, la relación entre el feminismo y el capitalismo digital son claves para repensar futuras estrategias. Desde el inicio, organizaciones pioneras como Mujeres en Red, y la Red Feminista de Organizaciones contra la Violencia de Género han estado creando espacios feministas en la red. Algunas expertas han señalado la falta de datos abiertos desagregados por sexo y la violencia machista digital. Otras organizaciones, tales como UNESCO Xnet, Internet Ciudadana y la Algorithmic Justice League, están exigiendo transparencia en el diseño, diversidad en los equipos y protección de datos para evitar daños, especialmente en el sur global. A pesar de los retos, el ciberfeminismo sigue luchando por los derechos de ciudadanía de las mujeres en la era del neoliberalismo y del patriarcado digital.

Authors: Mariño-Martínez Carmen
Published: December 2024

Este trabajo consiste en una revisión bibliográfica profunda con el fin de caracterizar el consumo de pornografía en la adolescencia y sus consecuencias. Además, se recopilan una serie de herramientas que se proponen en la literatura para evitar estas consecuencias. La revisión bibliográfica se realizó mediante la búsqueda en base de datos de referencias bibliográficas científicas como Dialnet y Scopus con las palabras clave: “Pornography” AND “adolescent” OR “adolescents” OR “adolescence” entre los años 2018 y 2022. Las referencias bibliográficas encontradas fueron filtradas en función de su trascendencia para la temática de estudio y recopiladas y resumidas en una tabla para facilitar su estudio. De acuerdo con lo hallado en esta revisión, el consumo de pornografía ha aumentado de forma muy notable con la llegada de internet a los hogares, y parece afectar especialmente a la población adolescente, con edades de inicio de consumo de pornografía entre los 10 y los 13 años. La pornografía consumida, hipersexualizada y cargada de imágenes violentas, parece provocar consecuencias negativas en esta población, de especial riesgo. Como contrapunto a esta problemática, se plantea tras esta revisión una herramienta para evitar y minimizar los efectos de la pornografía: la educación sexual. Tras presentar una breve visión general de la educación sexual en España se introducen una serie de propuestas para mejorar la efectividad de la misma, tomando como base las soluciones propuestas en otros sistemas educativos y otras propuestas, y apoyando a las propuestas realizadas en la Ley Orgánica 10/2022, de 6 de septiembre, de garantía integral de la libertad sexual.

Published: December 2024

Patients with recurrent episodes of hyponatraemia should be evaluated with fasting serum Cortisol and imaging of the brain if necessitated when
other systemic causes of hyponatraemia are ruled out. Non secretory pituitary adenomas can compress the normal pituitary gland causing
hypopituitarism. Here is a patient 45-year-old male from Kannur, Kerala who presented with recurrent episodes of transient loss of consciousness,
generalized weakness with symptoms of dehydration and persistent hiccups for 2 years. Patient was detected to have low sodium levels in different
hospitals for 2 years and supportive therapy was given after which patient had felt symptomatically better for few days. The patient now presented
to the hospital again with complains of generalized weakness and persistent hiccups. Patient was evaluated with random cortisol which was low
and was admitted and evaluated further. The 8AM cortisol levels were low and was evaluated further with Syntropac stimulation test to
differentiate central vs peripheral cause of hypocortisolism. MRI Brain with contrast was suggestive of Pituitary Macroadenoma 16x14x14 mm in
Sella extending to suprasellar cistern. (Histopathology being suggestive of Non-secretory Macroadenoma).

Authors: Raghupathi A. , Kannan P. , Veeramani C.
Published: December 2024

Background: Aortic dimensions vary between populations due to factors like age, sex, BSA, and ethnicity. Global reference ranges may not be
applicable for the Indian population. The present study is aimed at defining the standard aortic dimensions in the South Indian population using 2D
echocardiography. Methods: An observational study was conducted on patients admitted to Chengalpattu Medical College, Tamil Nadu, in the
period from October 2023 to March 2024. Atotal of 800 patients aged 10 years to 80 years, in both sexes and with different sizes of BSA, had their
aortic dimensions measured on 2D echocardiography. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation were analyzed. Results: The study involved
280 men (35%) and 520 women (65%). The average age was at 38.33 ± 16.02 years. Average aortic diameter was AA1.82 ± 0.42 cm, SOV 2.91 ±
0.52 cm, STJ 2.37 ± 0.47 cm and ascending aorta 2.64 ± 0.48 cm. The dimension diameters were greater in men by all measurements as compared
with women by all the other parameters (AA, SOV, STJ). Apositive correlation was found between BSAand aortic dimensions. Age significantly
influenced aortic size, with older groups showing larger values. Comparisons with the WASE guidelines showed that aortic dimensions in the
Indian population were slightly smaller, particularly in females. Conclusion: Population-specific data on aortic dimensions of South Indians with
the help of this study and, thereby, the need for region-specific reference ranges would be the take-home message. Thereby, sex differences were
significant, and a good correlation was found with age and BSA, which would definitely improve clinical assessment and intervention.

AIM. To comprehensively analyze the information generated by earlier systematic reviews of studies on the effect of premedications on post-endodontic pain.

METHODS. The systematic reviews published in the English language until 2023 were searched in the databases PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library using the keywords were identified. from inception to August 2023. The methodological quality of the included articles was analyzed using AMSTAR 2 tool and ROBIS tool. The corrected covered area analysis was performed using the GROOVE tool.

RESULTS. A total of n = 8 systematic reviews were identified. The included systematic reviews and meta analyses were conducted in the period 2018 to 2022. Two [25%] out of the eight included studies had meta analysis. According to the assessment of the AMSTAR 2 tool, one review had high quality, two reviews had moderate quality, two reviews had low quality, and three reviews had critically low quality. ROBIS analysis showed that all the studies had a low risk of bias. The CCA analysis performed with the GROOVE tool showed a high overlap of 11% among all the included studies.

CONCLUSION. Premedication was found to be effective as a means of reduction of post endodontic pain, especially for acute pulpitis. Corticosteroids were generally found to be more effective than NSAIDs. The use of piroxicam or prednisolone would be the premedication of choice. Oral premedication had better compliance and efficacy compared to other routes of administration, although the onset of action and sustenance of the latter was superior.

Published: December 2024

This study uses a systematic review of fifteen studies published between 2016 until 2024 to find out the impact of poetry as a teaching medium on EFL students' vocabulary mastery. The findings show that poetry's rhythmic and emotionally engaging language improves learning enjoyment and helps in memorizing new words. Poetry improves student understanding and usage of new words by offering context and promoting creative expression. Poetry also increases cultural and language awareness, which is necessary for developing empathy and communication skills, as well as cognitive benefits including improved critical thinking and problem-solving ability. The study suggests incorporating poetry into EFL courses, educating teachers, and developing assessment tools to assess its effect on vocabulary learning and student engagement. Future research is needed to look at the long-term effects of poetry-based teaching and its impact on varied student populations, in order to provide comprehensive insights for teachers and curriculum developers.

Published: December 2024

This research includes part of the results of a doctoral thesis in Science and Mathematics Education, inserted in a context of training environmental educators. We consider educational meliponaries to be the breeding of stingless bees for pedagogical purposes. Thus, the objective of this work was to present proposals for curricular contents when discussing transversal themes and the science teaching in basic education based on educational meliponaries. Therefore, is a qualitative and descriptive research of the documentary type, in which the transversal themes of national and state curricula were previously analyzed. Among the nineteen transversal themes, we selected eight to work on Environmental Education based on meliponaries: work, science and technology; environmental education; traditional peoples and communities; education for conscious consumption; family and social life; ethics and citizenship; gender, sexuality, power and society; food and nutritional education. Although Environmental Education appears as one of the transversal themes, we assume that it can be linked to all the others, depending on its approach and discussions, in search of an education for sustainability. Finally, for the science teaching, we propose curricular content that can be explored throughout basic education. In total, twenty skills were selected in Elementary School and six skills in High School that can be achieved through classroom discussions about stingless bees.
STUDY OF DEOXIDIZING PROPERTIES OF Fe-Si-Mn-Al COMPLEX ALLOY
Authors: Zhuniskaliyev Talgat , Benzesik Kagan , Sultanov Muratbek , Tushyev Tair , Abdirashit Assylbek
Published: December 2024

The article presents a study on the effectiveness of using the complex alloy Fe-Si-Mn-Al for steel deoxidation. The experiments conducted demonstrated the high deoxidizing capacity of this alloy, as evidenced by significant levels of extraction of alloying elements: silicon (75–85%), manganese (80–87%), and aluminum (60–70%). The study showed that steel deoxidized with the complex alloy has a 25–30% reduction in non-metallic inclusions compared to samples treated with traditional deoxidizers. This leads to improved metal purity and enhances mechanical properties, with an average hardness of the samples at 27 HRc, which is 1.5–2 units higher than that of traditionally deoxidized steels. The use of the complex alloy also reduces production costs by 10–15%, due to the efficient utilization of low-grade manganese ores and high-ash coals. The study results confirm the feasibility of using the complex alloy Fe-Si-Mn-Al as a promising deoxidizer for improving steel quality and optimizing production processes.
THERMODYNAMIC AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON THE INFLUENCE OF HIGH-ASH COAL IN THE PRODUCTION OF HIGH-CARBON FERROCHROME
Authors: Kuatbay Yerbol , Kelamanov Bauyrzhan , Aitkenov Nubek , Ukhahitova Bagdagul
Published: December 2024

This paper presents the results of scientific research that served as the foundation for developing a technology for producing high-carbon ferrochrome using a new reducing agent in the charge-high-ash coal from the "Saryadyr" deposit. To analyze the carbothermic reduction of chromium, a method of complete thermodynamic modeling (CTM) of metallurgical processes was employed, implemented using the HSC Chemistry 10.0 software package over a temperature range of 600-2800 K. The thermodynamic analysis demonstrated that the production of carbon ferrochrome using high-ash coal does not lead to sharp technological deviations: the process proceeds stably, ensuring complete reduction of chromium and iron. An analysis of the silica and alumina content in the coal ash indicated that it can replace quartzite in the charge mixture. Based on the thermodynamic data, experimental studies of the high-carbon ferrochrome production process using Saryadyr high-ash coal were conducted in a high-temperature Tammann laboratory furnace. The Tammann resistance furnace is a research facility designed to model metallurgical processes at high temperatures. During the laboratory tests, experimental samples of high-carbon ferrochrome corresponding to grade FeCr800 were obtained.

Este artigo apresenta uma revisão integrativa da literatura sobre os avanços no uso da terapia por pressão negativa, em que foi avaliado principalmente no manejo de feridas complexas do pé diabético. A pesquisa foi realizada em bases de dados eletrônicos, sendo selecionados os que abordam diretamente o tema proposto. Os resultados demonstraram que a terapia por pressão negativa é um tratamento baseado em um sistema de drenagem selada a vácuo que promove um ambiente de pressão subatmosférica em feridas, proporcionando uma cicatrização mais acelerada ao remover fluidos acumulados, reduzindo o edema e a proliferação bacteriana, além de estimular a formação de tecido de granulação, sendo altamente recomendada para o tratamento de úlceras no pé diabético. Ao criar um microambiente favorável, a terapia de pressão negativa diminui o risco de amputações e melhora a qualidade de vida do paciente, trazendo esperança para indivíduos com condições de difícil manejo.

This article explores the genesis of The Peasants, a novel by the Polish writer and Nobel Prize award – Władysław Stanisław Reymont. The analysis incorporates perspectives from both Polish and European scholars. To shed light on the novel’s origins, the study draws parallels between Reymont’s work and selected novels by French authors, specifically Émile Zola’s naturalistic novel La Terre (Earth), Honoré de Balzac’s realist novel Père Goriot (Father Goriot), and William Shakespeare’s tragedy King Lear.
Historiozofia w "Domus aurea" Wincentego Korab-Brzozowskiego
Authors: Borek Bartłomiej
Published: December 2024

The article analyzes the historiosophical vision of history in Wincenty Korab-Brzozowski’s poetic cycle Domus aurea. The author examines the structure, symbolism, and philosophical aspects of the work, focusing on the concept of time, world order, and the evolution of the lyrical subject. The text discusses the vertical and variabilistic nature of the depicted world, the role of fire as an element ordering reality, and the presence of the deity of time - Zurvan. The author points to the uniqueness of events, the idea of strength as humanity’s goal, and the pursuit of knowledge and self-improvement. The article highlights the connections between Korab-Brzozowski’s work and Stoic philosophy, Augustine’s thought, and Giambattista Vico’s concept of heroism. The analysis leads to the conclusion of coherence and evolutionary nature of the lyrical subject in Korab-Brzozowski’s poetry, revealing the depth and originality of his historiosophical reflection.
Małość, marność, miłość. Robactwo w twórczości literackiej Jana Kasprowicza
Authors: Igliński Grzegorz
Published: December 2024

The article is a review of the entire set of Jan Kasprowicz’s literary works from the perspective of the use within them of the term worm (robak) and its derivatives (robaczek [tiny worm], robaczywy [infested by worms] and robactwo [vermin]) as well as synonymous terms (czerw [maggots], glista [roundworm]). This is the anonymous worm, deprived of typological or generic affiliation although named differently. An exception was made for the leech, the only ‘worm’ appearing in the poet’s works with a specified name, belonging to a defined genus and classified by zoologists as a worm in the olden times.The purpose of these considerations is to attempt to answer the question: what purpose do the worms serve the poet? Consequently, a micrological perspective is used that takes into account the methods of creating animal characters and their function and symbolism in literature.Conducted analyses indicate that in Kasprowicz’s works worms are primarily linked to man, his carnality and spirituality. The first category then is the manworm in the meaning of smallness. The second category is the worm disturbing the soul, which applies to evil manifesting in human life. The third category is the worm positioned in human body, meaning worms hidden in the living man, designed as a mortal being, and the vermin tormenting the already dead body. In the second case, death is sometimes linked to love, together creating an insurmountable, vicious circle of existence. It may also provoke thoughts on total lifelessness and nothingness, life emptiness.Zoomorphic images or associations allow the poet to describe man in every aspect: existential, national, social and religious. Terms such as worm and vermin sound rather unpleasant, consequently, with certain exceptions, they are characterised negatively in those works and prove the permanent sensitivity of Kasprowicz to sin, harm, suffering and death.

Infertility in women of reproductive age with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in Indonesia is increasing. Insulin resistance occurs in some PCOS patients, so the use of insulin sensitivity-enhancing drugs such as metformin is recommended. This study was conducted to determine the use of metformin in PCOS patients at independent doctor's practices in Bandung City. The study was conducted as an observational descriptive study with data collected retrospectively using purposive sampling. Data were taken from patient medical records and interviews with the doctor in charge. The sample in this study consisted of patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data obtained were then summarized and displayed in table form. The results showed that the majority of PCOS patients were 26-30 years old with marriages that had lasted for 3 years. Ovulation and pregnancy in PCOS patients who used oral metformin treatment occurred in 15% of cases. The metformin used had a dose of 500-850 mg, which was given twice a day for 4-9 months.

Published: December 2024

Indonesia termasuk dalam zona wilayah tropis yang mempunyai banyak tanaman sebagai bahan eksipien tablet yaitu pati talas pratama (Colocasia esculenta (L). Schott var. Pratama). Pada industri farmasi, penggunaan pati alam sangat terbatas dikarenakan pati alam mempunyai sifat alir dan kompresibilitas yang buruk sehingga banyak dilakukan modifikasi untuk mengatasi hal tersebut salah satunya yaitu dengan modifikasi pati alam menggunakan metode pregelatinasi sehingga sifat alir dan kompresibilitas dapat menjadi lebih baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh suhu dan kecepatan pengadukan terhadap karakteristik pati talas pratama yang telah dimodifikasi secara pregelatinasi. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan eksperimen laboratorium menggunakan pati alami sebagai kontrol serta enam perlakuan modifikasi pati pregelatinasi, dimana 3 perlakuan menggunakan suhu 45 °C dengan kecepatan pengadukan 200, 250, dan 300 rpm dan 3 perlakuan menggunakan suhu 65 °C dengan kecepatan 200, 250, dan 300 rpm. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pati alami dan pati pregelatinasi bertekstur serbuk halus berwarna putih kecoklatan, tidak berasa dan tidak berbau, pH pati alami dan pati pregelatinasi berada pada rentang 4,5-7,0, susut pengeringan semua pati berada pada <15%. Hasil uji laju alir pati alami dan pati pregelatinasi tidak dapat mengalir pada granul flow tester, tetapi sudut istirahat pati alami dan pati pregelatinasi telah memenuhi persyaratan yaitu ≤30°. Kompresibilitas yang tidak memenuhi persyaratan dengan kelembaban air yang tinggi yaitu pati alami, P1 dan P2. Hasil analisis statistik menggunakan One way ANOVA dan Post Hoc menghasilkan hasil pati pregelatinasi yang baik dengan peningkatan suhu dan kecepatan pengadukan, hasil terbaik pada pati pregelatinasi dengan perlakuan 65 °C dan 300 rpm.
