Authors: Tavares Jessica Cardoso , Lima Ronaldo Nunes
Published: November 2024

A endometriose é uma condição ginecológica crônica que afeta a qualidade de vida de milhões de mulheres, já a dispareunia aborda a dor na relação sexual que pode ser causada por uma variedade de fatores, como o enfraquecimento do músculo do assoalho pélvico associado a endometriose. Este estudo trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica, de abordagem qualitativa e natureza técnica descritiva. A coleta de dados aconteceu no período de fevereiro a novembro de 2024. Foram utilizado as plataformas de pesquisas: Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), Biblioteca Regional de Medicina (BIREME), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Biblioteca virtual em Saúde. A dispareunia pode ser classificada em dois níveis, primário durante o ato sexual desde a primeira vez e secundário após a relação, dentre inúmeras causas, a endometriose é uma delas, a qual apresenta índice aproximado das mulheres em idade fértil com cerca de 2% a 10%, inférteis 30% e 50% e pós menopausa 3% e 5% , a qual 50% informam dores intensas e recorrentes, ou seja é um índice alto. A fisioterapia pélvica atua na otimização dos protocolos de manejo da endometriose e, consequentemente, na melhoria da qualidade sexual e de vida dessas mulheres com sintomas de dispareunia.

Published: November 2024

Objetiva-se, por intermédio da presente pesquisa científica, tratar acerca da prática da conduta de stalking e dos reflexos gerados no âmbito da violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher. Nesse contexto, entende-se que o stalking se trata de um ato de perseguição, de monitoramento, sendo que o agente invade a esfera de privacidade e intimidade da vítima, passando a ameaçá-la de forma constante. Com base nesses pressupostos, tem-se que doutrinadores, juristas e estudiosos passaram a questionar se o crime de stalking poderia ser considerado uma forma de violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher. Com subsídio nesses pressupostos de análise, coaduna-se com o posicionamento de que o crime de stalking deve ser tratado como uma forma de violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher, sendo passível de punição com base nos pressupostos contidos na Lei Maria da Penha (Lei nº 11.340/06). Além disso, devido ao constante desenvolvimento tecnológico em âmbito social, mister que se tenha o fomento de novas políticas públicas e legislações mais abrangentes para se tratar sobre o crime em comento, para que se tenham punições adequadas e justas. Com relação à metodologia adotada no presente artigo científico, enfatiza-se a utilização de instrumentos bibliográficos, doutrinários e jurisprudenciais, haja vista que a temática em comento é predominantemente teórica e com critérios qualitativos.

Published: November 2024

Esse artigo buscou descrever a importância da assistência de enfermagem na utilização dos métodos não farmacológicos de alívio da dor na sala de parto. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo de Revisão Bibliográfica da produção científica com uma abordagem qualitativa exploratória. Resultados e discussão: Além disso, os enfermeiros são cruciais na humanização não só no que diz respeito as práticas não farmacológicas para alivio da dor, como também ao oferecer suporte emocional e informações, criando um ambiente acolhedor e reforçando a autonomia das parturientes, o que torna o parto mais centrado na experiência da paciente. A ausência de diretrizes claras para a aplicação desses métodos dificulta as práticas hospitalares, evidenciando a necessidade de mais estudos e normatizações. Considerações: A autonomia da mulher no processo de parto, respeitando suas escolhas e preferências, é um direito fundamental que deve ser assegurado pela equipe de saúde, com os enfermeiros obstetras desempenhando um papel crucial na minimização da dor e na promoção de um parto mais humanizado. A implementação de práticas baseadas em evidências científicas demonstra um caminho promissor para a evolução dos cuidados em enfermagem.

Published: November 2024

A resistência parasitária a anti-helmínticos é um fenômeno crescente que representa um desafio significativo para o controle de doenças parasitárias em seres humanos e animais. O uso indiscriminado e inadequado desses medicamentos tem contribuído para a seleção de parasitos resistentes, comprometendo a eficácia das terapias convencionais. No contexto da saúde única, que integra as abordagens de saúde humana, animal e ambiental, essa questão se torna ainda mais complexa, uma vez que os parasitos podem afetar tanto populações humanas quanto animais, com implicações econômicas, ecológicas e sociais. Para esse estudo, a metodologia adotada foi a revisão bibliográfica de artigos científicos publicados sobre resistência parasitária, saúde única e o impacto dos anti-helmínticos, considerando as interações entre saúde humana e animal. A pesquisa se concentrou em analisar as principais estratégias de controle, os mecanismos que contribuem para a resistência e as possíveis abordagens alternativas de tratamento e prevenção. Os resultados indicam que a resistência é mediada por fatores como mutações genéticas, pressão seletiva causada pelo uso inadequado de medicamentos e falta de estratégias de manejo integradas. Além disso, a resistência aos anti-helmínticos tem consequências diretas sobre a saúde pública e veterinária, afetando o controle de doenças parasitárias em várias espécies. A conclusão aponta para a necessidade urgente de um manejo integrado, baseado na saúde única, para enfrentar esse problema de forma eficaz. A conscientização sobre o uso racional de anti-helmínticos e o desenvolvimento de novas abordagens terapêuticas são fundamentais para mitigar os impactos da resistência parasitária e garantir o controle de parasitos em humanos e animais.

An extension of the logistic function to account for nonstationary drought losses
Authors: Zhao Tongtiegang , Chen Zecong , Zhang Yongyong
Published: November 2024

Abstract. While the intensity loss function is fundamental to drought impact assessment, the relationship between drought loss and intensity can be nonstationary, i.e., changing as time progresses, owing to socio-economic developments. This paper builds three novel intensity loss functions upon the classic logistic function to account for nonstationary drought losses. Specifically, the time is explicitly formulated as an explanatory variable and respectively incorporated into the magnitude, shape and location parameters of the logistic function to derive three nonstationary intensity loss functions. To examine the effectiveness, a case study is devised for the drought-affected population by province in mainland China during the period from 2006 to 2023. The results highlight the existence of nonstationarity in that the drought-affected population exhibits significant correlation not only with standard precipitation index but also with year. The three nonstationary intensity loss functions are shown to outperform the classic logistic function and also the linear regression. They present effective characterizations of observed drought loss in different ways: 1) the nonstationary function with the flexible magnitude parameter fits the data by adjusting the maximum drought loss by year; 2) the nonstationary function with the flexible shape parameter works by modifying the growth rate of drought loss with intensity; and 3) the nonstationary function with the flexible shape parameter acts by shifting the response curves along the axis by year. In general, the nonstationary function with the flexible magnitude parameter is shown to be the most promising in terms of high coefficient of determination, low Bayesian information criterion and explicit physical meaning. Taken together, the nonstationary intensity loss functions developed in this paper can serve as an effective tool for drought management.
Missing the input: The underrepresentation of plant physiology in global soil carbon research

Published: November 2024

Abstract. Plant processes regulating the quantity and quality of soil organic carbon inputs such as photosynthesis, above- and belowground plant growth, and root exudation are integral to our understanding of soil carbon dynamics. However, based on a bibliometric analysis including almost 50 000 scientific papers, we found that plant physiology has been severely underrepresented in global soil organic carbon research. Less than 10 % of peer-reviewed soil organic carbon research published in the last century addressed plant physiological processes relevant to soil carbon inputs. Similarly, plant physiology was overlooked by the overwhelming majority (>90 %) of peer-reviewed literature investigating linkages between soil organic carbon, climate change, and land use and management. These findings highlight that our understanding of soil carbon dynamics and hence the carbon sequestration potential of terrestrial ecosystems is largely built on research that neglects the fundamental processes underlying organic carbon inputs. We advocate that the active engagement of plant scientists in soil carbon research is imperative to shed light on this blind spot. Long-term interdisciplinary research will be essential to develop a comprehensive perspective on soil carbon dynamics and to inform effective policies that support soil carbon sequestration.
SDUST2023VGGA: A Global Ocean Vertical Gradient of Gravity Anomaly Model Determined from Multidirectional Data from Mean Sea Surface

Published: November 2024

Abstract. Satellite altimetry is a vital tool for global ocean observation, providing critical insights into ocean gravity and its gradient. Over the past six years, satellite data from various space agencies have nearly tripled, facilitating the development of high-precision ocean gravity anomaly and ocean vertical gradient of gravity anomaly (VGGA) models. This study constructs a global ocean VGGA model named SDUST2023VGGA using multi-directional mean sea surface data. To address computational resource limitations, the global ocean is divided into ten sub-regions. In each sub-region, the DTU21 Mean Sea Surface (MSS) model and the CNES-CLS22 Mean Dynamic Topography (MDT) model are used to derive the geoid. To mitigate the influence of long-wavelength signals on the calculations, the study subtracts the long-wavelength geoid derived from the XGM2019e gravity field model from the original geoid, resulting in a residual geoid (short-wavelength). To ensure the accuracy of the VGGA calculations, a weighted least-squares method is employed using residual geoid data from a 17′ × 17′ area surrounding the computation point. This approach effectively accounts for the actual ocean environment, thereby enhancing the precision of the calculation results. After combining the VGGA models for all sub-regions, the model's reliability is validated against the SIO V32.1 VGGA (named curv) model. The comparison between the VGGA and the SIO V32.1 model shows a mean of -0.08 Eötvös (E) and an RMS of 8.50 E, indicating a high degree of consistency across the global scale. Analysis of the differences reveals that the advanced data processing and modeling strategies employed in the DTU21 MSS model enable SDUST2023VGGA to maintain stable performance across varying ocean depths, unaffected by ocean dynamics. The effective use of multi-directional mean sea surface data allows for the detailed capture of ocean gravity field information embedded in the MSS model. Analysis across diverse ocean regions demonstrates that the SDUST2023VGGA model successfully reveals the internal structure and mass distribution of the seafloor. The SDUST2023VGGA dataset is freely available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14177000 (Zhou et al., 2024).
Demokratie als kulturelles Lernen
Authors: Barta Heinz
Published: November 2024

In diesem Band geht es um das Entstehen der Demokratie im antiken Griechenland, wobei die übliche rechts- oder althistorische Behandlung antiker Fragen um F. Braudels Geschichtsphilosophie ergänzt und mit jüngsten Ergebnissen der Evolutionsbiologie (E. O. Wilson und M. Tomasello) und Paläogenetik verknüpft wird. Berücksichtigt wurde auch E. Flaigs ›Mehrheitsentscheidung‹, die einen bisher wenig beachteten Aspekt in die (Rechts) Geschichte einbringt. Zudem erschien mir ein stärkeres Betonen der rechtlichen Entwicklung lohnend, weil das Recht – obwohl für die griechisch-kulturelle Entwicklung wichtig – meist übergangen wird. – Dadurch gelangen neue Fragen und Antworten in (Antike) Rechtsgeschichte, Alte Geschichte, Altorientalistik, (Rechts) Soziologie, (Rechts) Philosophie und Politikwissenschaft. Die Darstellung reicht über den thematischen Zusammenhang hinaus und berührt – als Konsequenz des Einbeziehens der Evolutionsbiologie, die sich immer mehr als wissenschaftliche Fundierungsdisziplin erweist – grundlegende Fragen von Geschichte, Recht und Philosophie. – Bezüge zur Gegenwart werden hergestellt.

Published: November 2024

Despite the fact that small and medium enterprises (UMKM) play an important role in the Indonesian economy, many of them, including merchants in SWK Studio Sawahan, do not report their finances in a manner that complies with formal accounting standards. Therefore, this study analyzes how traders at Sentra Wisata Kuliner (SWK) Studio Sawahan in Surabaya apply the Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small and Medium Entities (SAK EMKM).  Descriptive qualitative method was used in this study, which collected data through observation, interview, and documentation. The results show that most traders do not understand SAK EMKM and choose simple manual recording methods. Limited resources and a lack of knowledge and understanding are the main obstacles in implementing SAK EMKM. Merchants recognize the benefits of implementing SAK EMKM, such as increased transparency and better financial recording structure. Therefore, more intensive socialization, training, and mentoring efforts are needed from the government and related institutions to improve the implementation of SAK EMKM by UMKM.

Published: November 2024

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography is the passion of every budding and experienced gastroenterologist to learn. It does need full-fledged commitment, patience and dedication to learn. It's a bumpy road which even the most trained drivers find very difficult to negotiate. Sometimes the patient ends up getting free in 10 mins, while on the other hand on bad day he gets admitted in the ward for raised inflammatory markers and total leucocyte count due to secondary infection as a result of the procedure due to wrong technique or due to daunting procedure.
One of the most essential prerequisites for ERCP is careful selection of cases after a detailed workup. Reviewing the deranged liver function test primarily the raised alkaline phosphatase. At times transaminitis can be mistakenly treated as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and patients being sent home without any workup. The role of the radiologist is of paramount significance. The dilatation of CBD reported on Ultrasound isn't good enough to proceed directly to ERCP. Rather where facilities are available an MRCP should be performed prior to it being non-invasive and having no risks of injuring the pancreatic duct and causing troublesome pancreatitis. Even if the Ultrasound report is normal still an MRCP needs to be advised as that is more accurate.

Background: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is an endotoxin of the gram-negative bacteria, playing a crucial role in systematic toxicity and cause neurotoxicity in immature brains. Glycine is non-essential amino acid, acting as a neurotransmitter, antioxidant and immune function regulator.Objective: To investigate the potential use of glycine inhibition of TLR-4 receptor to reduce LPS induced neurodegeneration in the developing brain of post-natal day 7 (PND-7) mice. Materials and Methods: A total of 12 PND-7 mice were included in this experimental study from Feb. 2023 to May 2023 at NMMRC, Peshawar. PND-7 mice were randomly distributed into four groups, a control group, a LPS group, LPS+Gly group and Gly group. LPS (250ìg /kg) was administered to LPS group. Glycine (1g/kg) was injected after LPS administration to LPS+Gly group and Gly group mice. After 4hr of the drug treatment, all the PND-7 mice were sacrificed for Western blot analysis. ImageJ software was used for the densitometry of the blots. One way ANOVA and post-hoc tukey tests through Prism graph-5 were applied for statistical analysis. P-value=0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Significant differences were observed in the assessed markers in of PND 7 mice brains. Post hoc tukey test revealed significant changes (p<0.01) in the TLR-4 along with BAX, Casp-3, PARP-1and Bcl-2 levels in LPS group. However, significant decrease was observed in TLR-4 levels along with successful amelioration of BAX, Bcl-2, Casp-3 and PARP-1 level in LPS + Gly group as compared to LPS group. Conclusion: Glycine administration significantly improved LPS induced neurodegeneration in brain of the PND-7 mice.

Background: Involvement of lymph nodes is a significant predictive marker in breast cancer, impacting both patient results and therapy strategies. It is crucial to comprehend the pathological alterations in lymph nodes that are linked to breast carcinoma in order to maximize care for patients.Objective: This study aimed to examine histopathological changes in lymph nodes related to breast cancer and their clinical implications.Materials and Methods: A retrospective observational analysis was conducted from the time duration of 21st November 2022 to 24th April 2023 involving 100 diagnosed breast cancer patients who underwent lymph node dissection. Patient data, including demographics, clinical history, five-year survival rates, and histopathological findings, were collected from medical records. Descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis were used to analyze the data.Results: In a study of breast cancer patients, 60% had macrometastases and 45% had extracapsular extension, indicating aggressive disease. Micrometastases were observed in 30%. Patients with lymph node metastases had poorer outcomes, with lower 5-year survival rates (60%) and higher recurrence rates (35%) compared to those without lymph node involvement (85% and 15%, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed lymph node involvement as a key prognostic factor (hazard ratio 2.5), while larger tumor size and higher histological grade also predicted worse outcomes. Subgroup analysis revealed that isolated tumor cells had the highest 5-year survival rate (75%), while micrometastases and macrometastases had lower rates of 65% and 55%, respectively.Conclusion: The presence of histopathological alterations in the lymph nodes associated to breast cancer is important for predicting outcomes and treatment plans. The number of affected lymph nodes can determine the survival rates of patients, which underlines the importance of proper lymph node assessment for breast cancer treatment.Keywords: Breast cancer, Histopathology, Lymph node involvement, Prognosis, Treatment.

Background: The Coronavirus Disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 had rapid and worldwide transmission, which resulted in a significant number of fatalities. The virus is known to spread through close contact via exposure to infected droplets and aerosols, and it can infect cells in the upper respiratory tract. However, it was unclear whether the virus directly infects the tissues of the oral cavity and alter oral physiology, resulting in oral symptoms in many COVID-19 patients. Objective: The present study was performed to evaluate the altered oral changes in covid-19 PCR positive cases.Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional study was carried out in 211 PCR confirmed patients of SARS-CoV-2. Data was collected using a digital questionnaire for each patient. Saliva was collected through “passive drool” procedure. Both direct samples and extracted RNA were used for qRT-PCR targeting the conserved region of the SARS-CoV-2 genome, the N and ORF1ab genes. Descriptive statistics were computedResults: There were 211 confirmed patients of COVID-19, out of which 146 (69%) were male and 65 (31%) were female. Regarding oral symptoms in COVID-19 positive patients, Xerostomia and Amblygeustia were commonly reported, with 87% and 90.5% of patients experiencing these symptoms, respectively. Acute parotitis was also reported by 49(23%) patients, indicating that it may be a potential oral symptom of COVID-19. Conclusion: This study concludes that xerostomia (87%) and amblygeustia(90.5%) are common oral symptoms in SARS-CoV-2 positive patients, and acute parotitis(23%) is also a potential oral symptom. Keywords: Amblygeustia, COVID-19, Oral, Parotitis, Xerostomia.

Background: The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction is significant, and its association with oxidative stress and biochemical changes is well recognized. Thyroid hormones are crucial in maintaining oxidative balance and regulating the body's metabolic processes to protect against cellular damage.Objectives: The study aimed to compare biochemical and oxidative stress parameters in rat models of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.Materials and Methods: This research, conducted from September 14 to October 21, 2023, involved 21 male Wistar divided into hypothyroid (n=7), hyperthyroid (n=7), and control (n=7), respectively. Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism were induced using propylthiouracil (PTU) and levothyroxine (LTX), respectively. The study assessed serum biochemical parameters, including uric acid (UA), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and total cholesterol (TC), as well as oxidative stress parameters, such as total antioxidant capacity (TAC) after 5-weeks.Results: The study found that the hypothyroid group exhibited decreased TAC (40±4) compared to the hyperthyroid (45±6) and control (50±5; p=0.012) groups. UA levels were higher in hypothyroid rats (4.2±1.0 mg/dL). Both hypothyroid (200±18 U/L) and hyperthyroid (210±20 U/L) rats showed increased LDH levels compared to the control group (180±15 U/L). Additionally, LDL cholesterol was elevated in hypothyroid (55±8 mg/dL) and reduced in hyperthyroid rats (30±5 mg/dL), while HDL decreased in both groups.Conclusion: Hypothyroidism is associated with significantly lower TAC and higher levels of UA and LDH, indicating oxidative stress and cellular damage. Conversely, hyperthyroidism leads to altered lipid metabolism, as evidenced by decreased LDL and HDL cholesterol levels. Keywords: Anti-oxidants, Lipid metabolism, Rats, Thyroid disorders.
Leperiben/Remembering
Authors: Jurková Zuzana
Published: November 2024

According to Jan Assmann (2011), storytelling about the past (including an imaginary past) represents one of the axes of collective identity. Given music’s place in the culture of Romani people in the Czech Republic, and given the stereotypical association of Romani people with music by the majority society, it is not surprising that music plays a significant role in their events of public remembering. The “Leperiben” presentation introduces the dynamics involved in the formation of such remembering during the last decade, from the spectacular Requiem (2012), dominantly organized by pro-Roma organizations (which also determined its form), to contemporary projects collecting songs about the Holocaust of the Roma (Porraimos) which have been designed and instigated by Romani activists. The collected material not only confirms several existing concepts about how collective memory works (e.g. the concept of “Archive versus Canon,” Aleida Assmann 2010), but also gives rise once again to the eternal questions in ethnomusicology, e.g., those about intervening in a field situation and the disbalance of power relations.
Sounding Traumatic Memory
Authors: Ringsmut Martin
Published: November 2024

This article examines the significance of music as a medium of memory in the broader context of Romani World War II remembrance and human rights activism of the last decade. It specifically focusses on the oratorio Symphonia Romani – Bari Duk by Adrian Gaspar and the documentary film Dui Rroma by Gaspar’s mother Iovanca Gaspar as memory media (Erll 2011a) of the Roma genocide during World War II. The composer based the libretto of the Symphonia Romani on a series of interviews conducted with the late survivor of the National Socialist genocide of Sinti and Roma, Hugo Höllenreiner, reflecting key moments of his memories of Auschwitz. In turn, the documentary Dui Rroma explores the relationship between the Sinto Höllenreiner and the Rom Gaspar and provides further information about Höllenreiner’s life and the Nazi persecution of Sinti and Roma during World War II as well as the genesis of Gaspar’s musical work until its premier in 2011. This article analyses the lyrical and musical contents of the oratorio (and the documentary as an extension of that work) with respect to their role in sounding traumatic memories. My findings are based on ethnographic fieldwork and multiple in-depth interviews with the composer and film director since 2017. I set these in dialogue with current key concepts from the field of memory studies, which consider memory as a cultural practice (Rigney 2015) that involves “movement” (Erll 2011b). Highlighting the different positionalities involved in sounding traumatic memories of Sinti and Roma to a largely non-minority audience, I emphasise the translations and transformations of memory in these processes. Central to this analysis are conceptualisations of the “witness” (Assmann 2016) and the transition from memory to postmemory (Hirsch 2012). This article argues from the standpoint of the emerging field of musical memory studies (Spinetti, Schoop, and Hofman 2021) and aims to bridge the gap between the fields of (ethno)-musicology, minority studies, and memory studies.
