HQ são a abreviação de “História em Quadrinhos”. São histórias desenvolvidas por uma sequência de quadros, onde em cada um destes contem ilustrações que dão segmento à narração, podendo conter ou não textos inseridos por meio de balões de diálogo, pensamento ou legendas. Geralmente são publicados em forma de revistas, livros ou tiras de jornais e revistas. O curso de Medicina no UniFOA (Centro Universitário de Volta Redonda) oportuniza a difusão das Tecnologias da Comunicação em Informação por meio do Projeto TICs Medicina, realizado e parceria com os cursos de Jornalismo e Publicidade e Propaganda, cujo objetivo é propiciar um ambiente de produção técnica e acadêmica em um espaço de interação entre cursos. A HQ em questão apresenta a ideia de criar uma história em quadrinhos que atenda ao eixo Medicina e Humanidades, que trabalhe de forma divertida e dinâmica os temas abordados pelo eixo, enfatizando as TICs na perspectiva do ensino da medicina que trata da abordagem da tecnologia dura, tecnologia leve-dura e tecnologia leve, assim como também questões relacionadas a humanização e a afetividade baseado no conceito de Educomunicação. Sabe-se que as Histórias em Quadrinhos foram inseridas no processo de ensino aprendizagem gradativamente na Europa a partir dos anos 70. No processo de préprodução foi desenvolvido um roteiro, que teve sua formatação baseada em um roteiro de cinema, geralmente escrito em papel carta (27,94cm x 21,59cm), margens 2,5cm em cima e 2,5cm-3cm em baixo. O cabeçalho serve para indicar o lugar e o tempo que a cena ocorre e é composto por três elementos: onde (se a cena é em lugar externo ou interno), precisamente onde (o lugar onde ocorre) e quando (dia ou noite). Foi feita uma pesquisa sobre conceitos de arte e produção utilizados em HQ para direcionar os trabalhos e conferir um padrão de qualidade ao trabalho. Para cada página da história foi criado um roteiro, descrevendo cenas, estado dos personagens e sequência de ações. Além disso, foi realizada uma pesquisa para a criação dos personagens que envolve estudo de cores, personalidades, vestuário e características físicas como formato de rosto e corpo. As possíveis expressões dos personagens também foram descritas e esboçadas na pré-produção, para uma melhor visualização das reações e emoções dos mesmos ao longo do desenrolar da trama. O projeto encontra-se em fase final de desenvolvimento sendo a seguir disponibilizado de forma impressa e online para os respectivos cursos.

Unveiling the enigma: thyroid-like follicular carcinoma of the left kidney
Authors: Zafar Nauman , Iqbal Saud , Muhammad Shujah , Nusrat Nadeem Bin , Rehman Assad Ur , Imtiaz Saira
Published: February 2025

Thyroid-like follicular carcinoma of the kidney (TLFCK) is a rare renal cancer, not aligning with established renal cell carcinoma subtypes. Histologically akin to primary thyroid follicular carcinoma, TLFC poses diagnostic challenges due to absent thyroid immunohistochemistry markers. This case details a 40-year-old army man, previously hypertension-free, presenting with bilateral flank pain and severe haematuria. Imaging revealed a 5.5 × 5 cm calcified lesion in the left kidney, suggestive of renal cell carcinoma (T3aN0Mx). Immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis, with positive Paired box gene 8 (PAX8), Cytokeratin 7 (CK7) and Carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) and negative Cluster of differentiation 10 (CD10), Alpha-methyl acyl-CoA racemase (AMACR), Cluster of differentiation 117(CD117), Thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF1) and thyroglobulin. The tumour was confined to the kidney, with clear margins. Subsequently, signs of metastasis prompted systemic treatment initiation with immunotherapy and tyrosine kinase inhibitors, emphasizing diagnostic intricacies and therapeutic complexities associated with TLFC.

Authors: Zhang Andong , Liu Xiangpu , Li Xuying , Duan Na , Huang Bin
Published: February 2025

Coronary artery disease is one of the leading types of cardiovascular disorders globally, and is a significant contributor to mortality. Its prevalence is increasing annually, underscoring the need for innovative therapeutic strategies to enhance patient outcomes and quality of life. Despite the availability of numerous pharmacological treatments, there remains a critical need for novel interventions. Traditional Chinese medicine, with its centuries-old history, offers promising alternatives. The current narrative review was planned to examine 10 prominent Chinese herbal medicines currently in use, including Salvia miltiorrhiza, Hawthorn, Schisandra berry, Ginseng, Ginkgo biloba, Astragali radix, Reishi mushroom, Licorice root, Dang gui, and Cinnamon bark. While each of these traditional medicines holds potential for managing coronary artery disease, further large-scale clinical trials are warranted to draw more definitive conclusions.

Over the counter naloxone nasal spray: A new hope for opioid crisis management in Pakistan
Authors: Ahmed Khan Zmarak , Anfaal Zainab , Shaheer Muhammad
Published: February 2025

Opioids, derived from the poppy plant, include synthetic and partially synthetic compounds that bind to brain receptors, diminishing pain perception. Primarily prescribed as analgesics, they are often misused for euphoria, thus making opioid overdose a global health issue. Pakistan is also struggling with opioid overuse, with around 700 individuals succumbing daily to drug-related complications, resulting in about 250,000 deaths annually [1].
The high number of overdose deaths in Pakistan can be attributed to several reasons, including poor regulation of pharmaceutical drug sales. In Punjab, the most populous province, there are reportedly 70,000–80,000 unqualified quacks practicing illegal medicine [2]. Self-medication is widespread; a 2016 BMC study revealed 595 out of 700 (85%) subjects engaged in this practice [3]. Additionally, the high illiteracy rate in Pakistan further complicates the situation due to a lack of awareness about drug use and overdose responses.
In Pakistan, opioid overdose treatment typically involves buprenorphine and naltrexone, which are not the most effective solutions. Naltrexone, with its long-lasting effect and complex administration, requires supervised withdrawal due to severe symptoms. Buprenorphine, though effective, needs careful management to avoid withdrawal risks and misuse concerns due to its opioid nature [4]. Their administration can be challenging in emergencies, especially in regions with low literacy rates like Pakistan.
Naloxone, an opioid antagonist, is an effective universal solution for opioid overdoses. It reverses respiratory depression and coma by blocking opioid effects. Initially available in injectable form, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a 4 mg naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray (Narcan) for over-the-counter use in March 2023. A Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) study showed that nasal naloxone had rapid systemic uptake and maintained elevated serum concentrations longer than intravenous naloxone. This pilot study suggested that a concentrated nasal spray could deliver a therapeutic amount of naloxone with just one spray [5], increasing survival chances. Its easy administration makes it a valuable tool for swift overdose response.
The nasal spray form of naloxone offers a promising solution to reduce overdose deaths in Pakistan. Its recent over-the-counter approval and straightforward administration could address the opioid crisis in Pakistan effectively. However, further research on its impact across different demographics, along with economic considerations and evaluations of withdrawal symptoms is necessary. Awareness campaigns, rehabilitation programs, and first aid workshops can aid in prevention. These efforts can attract health policymakers' attention to combat opioid overdose and eliminate this societal issue in Pakistan.

Navie Bayes Classifier with ECG Data
Authors: R Mahesh  , B Sravanthi  , T Bhavani  , B Sravya  , Priyanka Gupta
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the application of the Gaussian Naive Bayes (GNB) algorithm for classifying electrocardiogram (ECG) signals using the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia dataset. The research encompasses dataset preprocessing, GNB model training, and performance evaluation through metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Results are visualized using confusion matrices and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, highlighting the model's ability to differentiate between normal and abnormal heartbeats. Findings indicate that while the GNB model performs well in identifying normal heartbeats, it struggles to classify rare categories of abnormal cases, revealing opportunities for enhancement. Recommendations for future work include exploring advanced algorithms, feature engineering methods, and real-time monitoring systems to improve classification accuracy and applicability in the healthcare domain. This study demonstrates the potential of machine learning in automating ECG signal classification, offering a cost-effective and efficient solution for early detection of cardiac abnormalities.

Published: February 2025

Our study introduces a inexpensive assistive drawing tool for motor skill rehabilitation that uses recycled CD drives. The technology offers a therapy platform for people with motor impairments by combining robots and artificial intelligence (AI) to promote creative engagement and muscle memory development. The gadget takes user input via a text or speech interface, which AI models then process to produce matching designs. The plotting mechanism, which is powered by CD drive actuators, then transforms these designs into G-code and runs them. The system's economical and environmentally friendly design attempts to close the gap between rehabilitation and technology. The effectiveness of the suggested system is shown by the experimental findings, which also illustrate how it could promote inclusivity in healthcare and rehabilitation. The development of cognitive and motor skills in people with motor disorders can be greatly impacted by the device's capacity to enable them to complete fine motor activities.

Authors: Kovalishyn Vasyl , Hodyna Diana , Metelytsia Larysa
Published: February 2025

This research employed a multi-task modeling approach to assess the acute toxicity of various chemicals through quantitative structure-toxicity relationship (QSTR) models. An expert system was constructed using several machine-learning techniques and was developed with resources from the publicly available Online Chemical database and Modeling environment (OCHEM). The study details the underlying assumptions and methodologies for model selection, descriptor identification, and the strategic development that contributed to the research's successful outcomes. The dataset utilized for QSTR modeling comprised 2678 compounds, with acute toxicity evaluations conducted on Daphnia magna organisms. The predictive performance of the QSTR models was validated through both cross-validation and external test sets. The consensus regression model shows strong predictive accuracy, with a coefficient of determination (q2) ranging from 0.74 to 0.77. The consensus prediction for the external evaluation set afforded high predictive power, achieving a q2 value between 0.79 and 0.81. Furthermore, additional validation was achieved using experimental data from 20 compounds, showcasing robust predictive capabilities. Importantly, a considerable proportion of the toxicity values predicted by the models were in close agreement with results from in vivo studies, highlighting the reliability of the approach used.

Authors: Wati Februari
Published: February 2025

Saat ini tampak nyata krisis karakter tengah terjadi di kalangan remaja, seperti perilaku penyimpangan sosial yang mereka lakukan dalam bentuk pergaulan bebas, tawuran, merokok, dan penyalahgunaan obat-obat terlarang. Fenomena ini menunjukkan bahwa pendidikan belum berhasil untuk membangun pribadi yang holistik. Beberapa bentuk krisis karakter remaja juga tampak nyata terjadi dalam sekolah Kristen. Sekolah Kristen dipandang gagal dalam membentuk dan menghasilkan remaja berkarakter mulia. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk memaparkan tentang bagaimana sekolah Kristen dapat melaksanakan pendidikan yang membentuk karakter remaja lewat penumbuhan nilai. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah metode kualitatif deskriptif, khususnya metode penelitian literatur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pola pembelajaran nilai Kristen harus didesain sampai pada penumbuhan nilai dalam diri remaja dengan memfasilitasi pola pembelajaran yang menyentuh tiga ranah belajar, yaitu kognitif, afektif, dan psikomotorik. Selain itu, sekolah Kristen juga harus melibatkan seluruh komponen pendidikan, yaitu kurikulum, guru, lingkungan holistik, orang tua, dan remaja sebagai pembelajar aktif.

Commodity Fetishism and Female Agency in The Oyster Princess by Ernst Lubitsch
Authors: Falaiye Ruth Ireti
Published: February 2025

Purpose: This paper sheds light on how the film satirizes capitalist society through the theory of commodity fetishism by Karl Marx, paying particular emphasis to visual motifs and character interactions that reaffirm these commodified relationships. It situates these challenges within the frames of Weimar-era feminist discourse. The paper also explores how the protagonist Ossi, subverts gender norms to capture contemporary debates on women’s roles. She evokes the tensions between individual agency and societal constraints. Through the film’s intense representation of wealth, class, and gender, this paper reveals Lubitsch’s critique of economic relationships and social mobility during a tumultuous historical period.
Methodology: This study employs film analysis as its primary method, using textual and discourse analysis to examine the film. The analysis is supported by a theoretical framework drawn from relevant literature and scholarly discussions that align with the topic of commodity fetishism and female agency. This analysis uses Karl Marx's concept of commodity fetishism as a framework to examine the lasting impacts of the film within the context of the economic and social structures of the Weimar Republic. Textual analysis facilitates the identification of the visual motifs and cinematographic techniques used by Lubitsch in relation to his portrayals of relationships and social comment. Each of these interpretative points inspects how the visuals accentuate themes of commodification and capitalist critique. This contextualization establishes the film within the broader socio-political context of Germany in the years following World War 1, addressing the cultural and feminist discourses of the Weimar Republic.
Findings: The analysis indicates that Ernst Lubitsch's film The Oyster Princess employs humor to critique the social, economic, and gender dynamics pervasive in post-World War I Germany during the Weimar Republic. The film illustrates absurd patterns of commodity fetishism through its depiction of how human interpersonal relationships undergo manipulation. The analysis shows the transformation of human connections into transactions dictated by wealth and social standing, thereby prompting reflection on their convergence in an era of rapid change.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: This analysis of The Oyster Princess contributes to discussions on commodity fetishism by merging economic theory with visual and narrative elements. It shows how gendered perspectives deepen our understanding of commodification and agency and emphasize the interplay of class, power, and identity. The study promotes critical conversation on social inequalities, gender relations, and commodification. It emphasizes how these problems still impact modern society and how crucial it is to stop the commodification of human values to create a more just society.

Kacang tanah merupakan bahan pangan yang kaya akan manfaat dan mudah proses pengolahannya. Salah satu metode pengolahan kacang tanah yang popular adalah dengan metode sangrai. Sangrai merupakan metode pegolahan bahan pengan tanpa menggunakan minyak ataupun air sebagai penghantar panas. Suhu sangrai yang diperlukan sangat bervariasi, tergantung dari kapasitas produksi, suhu, dan durasi waktu. Penelitian ini bertujuan merancang mesin sangrai kacang otomatis dengan kapasitas produksi 1 kg. PLC dan SCADA digunakan pada penelitian ini sebagai kendalian, pemantauan, dan tampilan antar muka sistem. Mesin sangrai otomatis dirancang agar dapat mengontrol level api, suhu, dan durasi waktu selama proses sangrai agar menghasilkan kualitas kacang yang optimal. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa mesin sangrai kacang berbasis PLC dan SCADA dapat beroperasi sesuai yang diharapkan. Tampilan HMI dapat digunakan untuk mengaktifkan dan menonaktifkan motor, mengatur level apikompor, mengatur suhu di dalam drum, dan mengatur durasi waktu sangrai. Hasil pengujian sangrai menunjukkan bahwa tampilan dan tekstur kacang terlihat matang ketika disangrai dengan suhu 150oC selama 15 menit.

Abstrak : Instrumen Ryff Psychological well being scale (PWBS) yang di rekabentuk oleh Ryff (1989) adalah antara instrumen yang sering digunakan untuk mengukur kesejahteraan psikologi khususnya dalam kalangan pelajar sekolah dan penuntut di pengajian tinggi. Namun yang demikian,penilaian psikometrik instrumen kajian ini hanya menjadi perhatian segelintir negara Asia . Instrumen Ryff Psychological well being versi pendek  mengandungi 18 item soal selidik yang menjurus kepada soalan berkaitan kesejahteraan psikologi individu seperti matlamat hidup, perkembangan kendiri, autonomi,penguasaan persekitaran dan hubungan dengan orang lain. Ringkasnya, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenalpasti kebolehpercayaan dan kesahan instrumen kesejahteraan psikologi Ryff (PWBS) 18 item dalam kalangan belia Malaysia. Kajian ini merupakan kajian kuantitatif yang melibatkan pengumpulan data daripada soal selidik dalam kalangan belia berumur 18-25 tahun di Tawau. Hanya 100 orang responden diperlukan dalam kajian ini. Pengkaji menggunakan analisis kebolehpercayaan Cronbach Alpha. Sementara itu, kesahan interkorelasi digunakan untuk menguji kesahan konstruk soal selidik. Hasil analisis menunjukkan kebolehpercayaan tinggi bagi keseluruhan item iaitu 0.70. Bagi ujian kesahan konstruk, subskala hubungan dan tujuan hidup dilihat kurang mempunyai interkorelasi dengan subskala lain. Nilai korelasi hubungan dengan autonomi (0.15) manakala hubungan dengan penguasaan (0.86) . Seterusnya, bagi nilai interkorelasi tujuan hidup dengan penguasaan adalah (0.51) serta tujuan dengan penerimaan kendiri adalah (0.28). Penialaian psikometrik instrumen PWBS dilihat penting agar dapat dijadikan rujukan dalam kajian kesejahteraan psikologi belia dalam konteks Malaysia pada masa akan datang.

Published: February 2025

Retirement, often seen as a peaceful stage of life, depends on how retirees utilize their time meaningfully. This study explores the activities and desires of retirees in Kuching, Sarawak, through 8 semi-structured interviews with Chinese respondents aged 65 to 86. Social engagements emerged as predominant, but the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped their pursuits. Despite economic activities, monetary gain isn't a top priority; instead, retirees find satisfaction in artistic and cultural endeavors, prompting further inquiry. Our study also uncovers retirees' longings, revealing a desire for external support driven by empathy and a yearning for cultural experiences, indicating a desire to preserve cultural heritage. These findings lay a foundation for tailored activities for retirees and merit further investigation.

Social support is crucial to help students cope and analyse their mental health and overall well-being. Students' mental health may be impacted by stress from their personal lives as well as their studies, which may lead to suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts. This study evaluates the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) by Zimet et al. (1988) among Malaysian university students regarding internal consistency, item-total correlation method, and convergent, concurrent validity. The sample comprised 268 university students from public and private universities around Malaysia. The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) by Zimet et al. (1988) is an instrument to determine the degree of perceived social support from three sources: significant others, family, and friends. Cronbach's alpha of the three dimensions of MSPSS ranges from 0.898 to 0.916, which indicates a high reliability for the instrument. Item analysis using the item-total correlation method also shows that the items for the three distinct MSPSS dimensions are related and measure the same construct. Convergent validity also shows a significant correlation between the three dimensions, as evidenced by their correlation coefficient, which ranged from 0.477 to 0.528 with p < .001. On the other hand, concurrent validity scores demonstrate that the YSAS and ATTS scores have a negative and significant relationship with all three of the MSPSS dimensions. MSPSS is a reliable instrument that is suitable for assessing the perceived social support for university students in Malaysia. However, the concurrent validity of this instrument required further research.
