Impulsivity Mediates the Relationship between Sleep Quality and Interpersonal Functioning: A Cross-sectional Study in a Sample of University Students
Authors: III Brian J. Farrell , Emmerton Robert W. , Camilleri Christina , Sammut Stephen
Published: February 2024

Background
Amid the current mental health pandemic, research continues to investigate potential contributors associated with increasing levels of negative mental health. Among such contributors is sleep, which is vital for physiological and psychological functioning with potential downstream behavioral consequences, including in relation to impulsivity and social functioning. Given the significant rates of poor sleep quality reported in the literature, our study sought to investigate the relationship between sleep quality, impulsivity and interpersonal functioning among university students.
Methods
An anonymous online survey was administered to university students (Ages 18+; N = 526; 33% male, 67% female) addressing demographics, sleep quality, impulsivity, and interpersonal functioning.
Results
Our findings indicate a substantial proportion of students reporting poor sleep quality and impulsivity. Moreover, higher levels of impulsivity and lower interpersonal functioning were associated with poor sleep quality. Mediation analysis revealed a significant mediating role of attentional impulsivity in the relationship between sleep quality and interpersonal functioning.
Conclusions
Repeated reports of significant levels of impulsivity underlying numerous psychiatric disorders, its prevalence socially, and the fundamental issue that impulsivity reflects (i.e., lack of self-control/self-discipline), suggests a necessity to reorient therapeutic efforts towards the root of the problem. Thus, efforts should seek to maximize preventative behaviors that build character/virtue and strengthen the individual (e.g., improving sleep quality and minimizing impulsivity), including through self-discipline and perseverance, in order to reduce negative outcomes (e.g., dysfunctional interpersonal functioning).

Published: February 2024

Background
Multiple sclerosis is considered one of the most common neurological diseases in young people, and because it manifests clinically with very diverse symptoms, which reflects the diversity of the characteristics of the lesions in this disease in terms of location, number, and severity, it is diagnosed qualitatively with magnetic resonance imaging.
Objective
To study the role of radiological, laboratory and clinical diagnostic methods in detecting the locations of demyelinating plaques to develop the best treatment plan to achieve optimal recovery.
Methods Materials:
This study was conducted according to a retrospective cross-sectional study, where samples were taken from the patient files, which numbered 1,320 patients inside the hospital to represent the study population. The sample was collected directly from the study site, and infections were distributed according to the months of the year, between the years 2020 and 2023, and according to age groups. Comparison was also made between CT and MRI findings.
Results
The average age of multiple sclerosis was between 22 years and 46 years, with 65% females and 35% males. We found that the percentage of hypodense foci in the white matter in the striatum was 64.11%, and the diameter of plaques larger than 1 cm was 20%, and those smaller in diameter were 10%, and the percentage Plaques were seen with resonance in 30%, and the smallest in diameter was 70%. The plaques were most commonly distributed around the ventricles (80%), and the most common shape was round (85%). Most lesions showed lesion enhancement (85%).
Conclusion
Magnetic resonance imaging is the gold standard for diagnosis. Imaging is done with a closed magnetic resonance device with an intensity of 1.5 Tesla. The optimal follow-up and comparison is done with the same device and with injections. Finally, the diagnostic loophole is the failure to use the spectral resonator despite its presence in the hospital.
Assessing Subclinical Schizotypal Personality Traits: Development and Validation of the Deenz Schizotypal Personality Scale (DSPS-27)
Authors: Dar Deen Mohd
Published: February 2024

Deenz Schizotypal Personality Scale (DSPS-27) was developed to assess various facets of schizotypal personality traits in non-clinical populations. The main aim is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of suclincal-traits such as fantastical beliefs, social discomfort, unusual hobbies, superstitious thinking, perceptual anomalies, unusual thinking patterns, suspiciousness, emotional restraint, and peculiar behaviors. In a study involving 72 college students (30 female, 42 male), the DSPS-27 demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.91), indicating strong reliability in measuring the targeted constructs. The scale’s effectiveness in identifying early signs of schizotypal personality traits was evident, with significant correlations observed between DSPS-27 scores and established measures of schizotypal personality traits, demonstrating convergent validity.

Authors: Ghosh Saugata
Published: February 2024

The process of choosing a set of stocks that represent the entire market or a particular industry or market segment results in the creation of a stock market index. The purpose of stock market indexes is to represent the general behaviour of equity markets. The Nifty 50 is
a well-diversified 50-stock index that serves as a representation of the performance of the Indian economy by including all significant economic sectors. It is employed in many different contexts, including index funds, index-based derivatives, and fund portfolio bench marking. This paper’s goal is to analyse the Nifty 50 in relation to the Auto and FMCG industries. The analysis has taken into consideration data from the pharmaceutical, financial services, and Nifty 50 sectors spanning twelve years, from 2012 to 2023.

Published: February 2024

Background The abnormal regulation of circular RNA (circRNA) levels is commonly identified in human diseases, particularly malignant tumors. Recently, the diagnostic value of circRNAs has received increased attention. The detailed mechanisms of various cancer and circular RNAs need more research to clarify, including hepatocellular carcinoma HCC.Methods We utilized quantitative real-time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to measure the expression level of hsa_circ_0000038 in paired hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and adjacent noncancerous liver tissues. GO annotation and enrichment analysis were used to examine the potential downstream pathways. RT-qPCR and western blotting were conducted to evaluate the expression of the p53/p21pathway. CCK-8, wound closure, and Transwell assays were used to measure cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Luciferase and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays were used to investigate the interactions between miR-92a-2-5p and hsa_circ_0000038.Results Levels of hsa_circ_0000038 were downregulated in HCC tissues and cells. Overexpression of hsa_circ_0000038 inhibited tumor growth in vivo and blocked the hepatocarcinoma cell cycle at the G0–G1 phase and repressed cell proliferation, invasion, and migration of HCC cells in vitro, while co-transfection of miR‐92a-2‐5p partially attenuated the effects mediated by hsa_circ_0000038. The expression of miR-92a-2-5p was decreased in HCC tissues and promoted cell proliferation and the cell cycle in vitro. hsa_circ_0000038 acted as a sponge for miR-92a-2-5p, and Tp53 gene was the target of miR-92a-2-5p. Hsa_circ_0000038 inhibited the progression of tumor growth by inhibiting the miR-92a-2-5p/p53/p21 axis.Conclusion Our study reveals aberrant circRNA expression profiles in HCC tissues. Hsa_circ_0000038 regulates the miR-92a-2-5p/p53/p21 axis and be involved in HCC development.

Published: February 2024

The upper ocean mixed layer plays a crucial role in regulating the exchange between the ocean and the atmosphere. The Mixed Layer Depth (MLD) is a key parameter affecting the air-sea exchanges of momentum and heat and determining the upper ocean temperature. Numerous previous studies have investigated MLD variability in the global ocean or regional seas but no such studies were carried in the Baltic Sea. In this study, we present the first observational assessment of the MLD and its properties in the Southern Baltic Sea including quantification of its seasonal and long-term changes and identification of the multi-year winter shoaling. We calculated monthly maps of MLD in the southern Baltic Sea using a large number of historical CTD profiles collected in 1995- 2021 from a combination of different data sets. To test the robustness of the results we compared the MLDs calculated using different threshold methods. Throughout the southern Baltic Sea, across its three basins, a distinct seasonality is evident in the MLD, with values varying from 12 m in July to 60 min December- March. During winter the water column is well mixed down to the upper halocline depth and the MLD reaches about 45 m in the Bornholm Basin, 50 m in the Slupsk Furrow, and 60 m in the Gdansk Basin. The observed global warming and decadal changes in the salty inflows from the North Sea to the Baltic have had an impact on stratification by increasing water densities in the intermediate and deep layers. Consequently, density gradients have strengthened with depth while the upper ocean mixing has weakened during the winter season. The results reveal a significant winter shoaling of the mixed layer by 4 meters per decade, driven by the increased stratification due to rising temperatures and salinity. These changes could have significant impacts on the dynamics and productivity of marine ecosystems.

Published: February 2024

This study aims to evaluate and test the impact of knowledge, trust, unity, and self-efficacy on knowledge management of employees in Indonesian businesses in the education sector. This empirical study also examines the relationship between knowledge management among employees in Indonesian education sector businesses and conformity through knowledge self-efficacy, trust, and unity. A quantitative causality technique was employed in the study using a sample of workers from Indonesian companies involved in the education sector (at least 35 years old and engaged). The primary data consisted of 220 replies from respondents with varying educational backgrounds. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling software was used to analyze the data. The Likert scale is used to determine each answer’s value. Empirical evidence shows that knowledge self-efficacy does not affect the knowledge management of employees in these companies (T Statistics = 0.992); on the other hand, knowledge self-efficacy influences conformity, harmony, and confidence, which in turn affects the knowledge management of employees in these companies. The indirect effect demonstrates that agreement can moderate the influence of knowledge self-efficacy on the knowledge management of employees in these companies (T Statistics = 5,959); conversely, conformity mediates the strong impact of trust on the knowledge management of employees in these businesses. The empirical results show that employees need to have a high level of knowledge for diverse expertise to function well. Conversely, trust will make people more eager to share their information. Lack of confidence might impede the dissemination of knowledge.

Bisphenol-A (BPA) is an endocrine-disrupting molecule associated with the risk of several non-transmissible chronic diseases. We postulated that BPA triggers oxidative alterations, altering immunocompetence and contributing to physiological dysfunction. To evaluate the effects of BPA on the oxidative and immune system, Californian earthworms were reared in a culture medium containing different BPA concentrations for 24 and 72 h. Coelomocytes were used to evaluate the effects of BPA on oxidative markers, cellular proliferation, and apoptosis, and immunocompetence effects were investigated by yeast-exposure assay and the modulation of genes related to immune response. Low BPA concentrations induced coelomocyte proliferation, imbalanced superoxide/NO levels, higher micronucleus frequency, and apoptosis. BPA also induced Amp1 gene overexpression and a low efficiency of dead yeast capture. The association between DNA damage and changes in innate immune metabolism could be related to the action of BPA, which is associated with the risk of physiological disturbances and non-transmissible chronic diseases.

The present study aimed to investigate the presence of anti-Leishmania antibodies in samples of domiciled dogs and associate them with epidemiological indicators in the city of Lagarto, Sergipe. The diagnosis of Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis (CVL) was carried out in 755 dogs, where the rapid two-way platform immunochromatographic test (TR-DPP) (Fiocruz/Biomanguinhos) and the serological test of Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) were applied. The results showed that all homes with seroreactive dogs were close to abandoned land, squares and/or green areas. There was a significant association between seroactive animals and type of shelter (p=0.008); 54.8% had an indoor shelter and 45.2% of the dogs had a shelter outside their homes. The disease is geographically distributed in 14 (73.68%) of the 19 sample areas in the municipality. Of these, five (26.31%) had cases of Visceral Leishmaniasis in dogs and humans. Eight cases of Human Visceral Leishmaniasis (HVL) were reported during the years 2017 to 2020 in the municipality. Dogs that are located in areas of greatest risk impact the maintenance of natural foci of Leishmaniasis transmission to human and animal hosts in areas endemic for Visceral Leishmaniasis. Such results are essential to assist epidemiological surveillance in the municipality of Lagarto-SE with the implementation of control measures aimed at the insect vector of the disease, the sand fly, to prevent human and canine cases.
Mortality at the county level in the USA-Mexico and USA-Canada border regions
Authors: Joerger Melanie , Alves Simões Onofre
Published: February 2024

The areas near a country border have interesting demographics since they are the zones where two cultures collide. The USA has two long land borders with Canada and Mexico. Mortality between 1999-2019 is examined at the county level in the two border regions, compared to the non-border regions of the border states. Analysis is based on single figure indices, with combinations of confounders age, gender and cause of death. Findings confirm differences between border and non-border regions, with opposite results at each border. As far as is known there is no previous mortality study concerning both borders and therefore the contribution of the work is to demonstrate the differences between the border and non-border regions for the two borders and discuss possible reasons. Further, we show that the more detailed analysis at the county level, even with certain data limitations, gives important insights to the topic.

Este trabalho consiste em investigar os critérios para o reconhecimento das unidades terminológicas (UT) pertencentes às teorias da Argumentação presentes em textos acadêmico-científicos. Para tal, orientamo-nos nos estudos da Teoria Comunicativa da Terminologia (TCT); como aporte metodológico, construímos o corpus das teorias da Argumentação (CORPARG) e utilizamos o software WordSmith Tools 6.0 para auxiliar na extração dos candidatos a termos, selecionar os contextos e observar o comportamento das unidades no texto especializado. Nossos resultados indicam que uma unidade para pertencer ao repertório terminológico das teorias da Argumentação deverá expressar conceitos relevantes e ser representativa para a área.
REFLEXÕES SOBRE A EXPRESSÃO DA MODALIDADE DEÔNTICA PARA O ENSINO DE LÍNGUA ESPANHOLA
Authors: Oliveira André Silva
Published: February 2024

Sabendo-se que, para Hengeveld e Mackenzie (2008), a modalidade deôntica diz respeito às regras e às normas de conduta de âmbito legal, moral e social, pautamos nosso trabalho na descrição e análise desta categoria a partir do gênero jornalístico editorial, e sua contribuição para o ensino de Espanhol como Língua Estrangeira (E/LE). Baseamo-nos, portanto, na descrição e análise dos modalizadores que o falante emprega para a modalização deôntica no gênero editorial e dos possíveis efeitos de sentido pretendidos para refletirmos sobre as contribuições da perspectiva funcionalista no ensino de língua espanhola. Enquanto o aparato teórico do funcionalismo holandês nos dá o suporte necessário para realizarmos a descrição e análise linguística da modalidade deôntica, a perspectiva funcionalista para o ensino de língua nos auxilia nas possíveis estratégias de caráter comunicativo pautadas no uso real. Por fim, ponderamos que seja profícua a relação entre a descrição e análise de uma dada língua e o ensino, uma vez que aquela fornece os subsídios necessários, no âmbito teórico, sobre a categoria linguística estudada e a construção discursiva no editorial, de forma a auxiliar professores e alunos no entendimento das expressões utilizadas pelo falante ao manifestar obrigações, permissões e proibições.
DO CLÁSSICO AOS QUADRINHOS
Authors: Maria de Medeiros Mércia
Published: February 2024

Em vista do crescente número de gêneros que fazem uso da multimodalidade discursiva na atualidade, principalmente das histórias em quadrinhos (HQs), que através de seus textos originais ou de adaptações de clássicos literários, ganham espaço e reconhecimento na sociedade, tornando-se um fenômeno da cultura em massa, busca-se nesse artigo compreender à forma como os elementos verbovisuais (imagem, texto, fontes, cores, etc) se fundem para a construção de sentidos e significados do texto, a partir da adaptação do conto “A causa secreta” de Machado de Assis, recriada por Francisco Vilachã e Fernando A. A. Rodrigues e publicada pela editora Escala Educacional no ano de 2006. Para tanto, serão considerados os estudos ligados a multimodalidade desenvolvidos por Dionísio (2006), bem como as considerações sobre as HQs defendidos por Magalhães (1990), Mendonça (2002) e Nascimento (2016), e os trabalhos sobre adaptações literárias, feitas por Guerini e Barbosa (2013). Dessa forma, as quadrinizações literárias tornam-se objeto de nossa atenção tanto pela nova linguagem engendrada no encontro do verbal (clássico) e do icônico, quanto pelos significados que carregam.

Authors: Mendes Francine , Duarte Ferreira Eric
Published: February 2024

Neste trabalho, buscamos analisar e descrever como se constrói o discurso de juristas acerca da leitura como possível mecanismo de auxílio na ressocialização de reeducandos. O aporte teórico tem como base as obras de Eni P. Orlandi (2009, 2012) e Michel Foucault (2013). A partir disso foram selecionados dois artigos de autoria de juristas nos quais foram examinadas as formações ideológicas que dão sentido ao discurso e determinam o parecer sobre da leitura. O número reduzido de pesquisas e trabalhos acadêmicos referente ao tema da ressocialização, principalmente em áreas que não estão diretamente ligadas ao Direito, reafirma a importância desta pesquisa no sentido de proporcionar a pesquisadores interessados no assunto a ampliação do acesso a fontes bibliográficas. Além disso, objetiva-se contribuir na fomentação do debate acerca da temática, utilizando-se da interdisciplinaridade que o tema proporciona.
pessoal é político: uma análise da produção jornalística sobre o trabalho da mulher no contexto da pandemia sob a ótica da argumentação
Authors: Cordeiro Ana Luiza , Stancki da Luz Nanci
Published: February 2024

Observa-se a persistente atribuição dos problemas de violência doméstica à esfera privada, como um problema familiar e particular, e não como uma consequência da estruturação patriarcal, pertencente à esfera pública. Diante dessa realidade, o presente artigo analisa a abordagem jornalística acerca do impacto da pandemia do novo coronavírus (Sars-Cov-2) na rotina de mulheres brasileiras, a partir da necessidade de isolamento social/distanciamento social. Metodologicamente, foram coletadas 4 matérias publicadas em sites jornalísticos entre os dias 15 de abril e 15 de maio de 2020 e que abordam o tripé “mulheres, trabalho e pandemia”, buscando elementos que dão subsídios ao público para compreender a estruturação social de violência contra a mulher que se acentuou na pandemia, enfocando nas táticas de argumentação empregadas. Recorre-se sobretudo ao trabalho de Carol Hanisch, História para fazer história (1996) e às categorias de argumentação postuladas por Fiorin (2016). Conclui-se que diferentes táticas argumentativas são usadas para produzir sentido, manifestando uma mesma realidade de opressão.
MARCAS DISCURSIVO-ENUNCIATIVAS EM PUBLICIDADES COM CRIANÇAS NO JORNAL FOLHA DE SÃO PAULO

Published: February 2024

Este estudo versa sobre aspectos linguístico-discursivos presentes em publicidades do Jornal Folha de São Paulo, tendo como objetivo principal analisar as marcas discursivo-enunciativas nas publicidades em que constam crianças a partir de um recorte temporal. A perspectiva teórica adotada baseia-se na Teoria Semiolinguística do Discurso de Patrick Charaudeau (2008) e nas contribuições de teóricos, como Mainguenau (2004), Montigneaux (2003), Costa (2010), dentre outros que nos auxiliaram no entendimento do texto publicitário como atividade enunciativa e na reflexão sobre o uso de imagens de crianças nesse tipo de texto. O corpus dessa pesquisa de cunho qualitativo e interpretativo se constitui em quatro publicidades selecionadas a partir de uma perspectiva histórica, tendo como referência as décadas de 1930, 1950, 1970 e 2000 e que nas quais aparecem crianças, a fim de que fosse possível observar o comportamento dos sujeitos da linguagem no âmbito da enunciação publicitária ao longo do período selecionado. A pesquisa demonstrou a presença constante de infantes nas publicidades do jornal ao longo das décadas, entretanto, tal presença se reconfigura na cena enunciativa em consequência da dinâmica histórico-social que provoca mudanças que vão além dos aspectos visuais, mas também na forma como o sujeito enunciador se manifesta na interação verbal.
A VOZ DO SUJEITO PORTA-VOZ DA INCLUSÃO NO YOUTUBE
Authors: Santos Edson , Piovezani Carlos
Published: February 2024

É no século XXI que os discursos afirmativos contra as práticas opressoras direcionadas aos sujeitos com deficiência se consolidam historicamente na sociedade brasileira. Essa consolidação não significou a suspensão de práticas e discursos que discriminam esse grupo de pessoas, que continuam sendo reproduzidos, desde então, principalmente, sob a forma de discursos do capacitismo. Um espaço privilegiado para proceder a essas identificações são suas falas que circulam na mídia digital. No presente trabalho, nosso objetivo consiste em analisar o discurso da inclusão materializado no vídeo “Análise do discurso Michelle Bolsonaro (o que eu achei?)” publicado no canal do YouTube “Vai uma mãozinha aí?” em 2019, de Mariana Torquato. Nossa análise está fundamentada em postulados, noções e métodos da Análise do Discurso de linha francesa, articulando o pensamento de Michel Pêcheux e seu grupo e o de Michel Foucault. Metodologicamente submetemos o enunciado a um gesto de leitura discursiva que contempla a descrição e interpretação do que é dito e de suas maneiras de dizer. Os resultados indicaram a produção discursiva de um consenso de justiça social no discurso da porta-voz da inclusão, atravessado por viés mercadológico e midiático.
HABERMAS: A PASSAGEM DA ÉTICA DO SUJEITO PARA A DO DISCURSO

Published: February 2024

Este artigo propõe-se a discutir a ética na visão de Habermas. No trabalho, vamos explicar como Habermas constrói a sua Ética do Discurso a partir de uma reformulação da Imperativo Categórico de Kant. Isso porque, tal como para Kant, Habermas também compreende que as normas morais devem ser passíveis de universalização. No entanto, para o filósofo do pragmatismo, essa universalização não é mais resultado da reflexão monológica do sujeito, mas resultado do discurso.

Published: February 2024

Este artigo tem como corpus o videoclipe da música 'Unholy', lançado em 2023 pelos artistas Sam Smith e Kim Petras. O objetivo é compreender como a cenografia e o ethos discursivo são manifestados e como os argumentos são construídos para persuadir o auditório/público. Como recurso metodológico, elegemos a pesquisa documental de abordagem qualitativa. Para responder às questões, apoiamo-nos nos estudos de Dominique Maingueneau (2008) sobre ethos e na Teoria da Argumentação de Perelman e Olbrechts Tyteca (2014). Os resultados apontam que o discurso colonizador é cristalizado por práticas sociais e históricas que legitimam posicionamentos que subjugam pessoas do público LGBTQIAPN+, em específico no corpus do texto, e demais grupos sociais marginalizados.
A New Method Used to Enhance the SPAIR Image of the Spine MRI
Authors: Fan Huayu , Cao Xiangyang , Wu Mingxiang , Zhao Mingyu , Liu Liyun , Song Yongwei , Zhang Xiangdong , Zhang Binqing
Published: February 2024

Background::

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a handy diagnostic tool for orthopedic disorders, particularly spinal and joint diseases.

Methods::

The lumbar intervertebral disc is visible in the T1 and T2 weight sequences of the spine MRI, which aids in diagnosing lumbar disc herniation,
lumbar spine tuberculosis, lumbar spine tumors, and other conditions. The lumbar intervertebral disc cannot be seen accurately in the Spectral
Attenuated Inversion Recovery (SPAIR) due to weaknesses in the fat and frequency offset parameters, which is not conducive to developing the
intelligence diagnosis model of medical image.

Results::

In order to solve this problem, we propose a composite framework, which is first to use the contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization
(CLAHE) method to enhance the SPAIR image contrast of the spine MRI and then use the non-local means method to remove the noise of the
image to ensure that the image contrast is uniform without losing details. We employ the Information Entropy (IE), Peak signal-to-noise ratio
(PSNR), and feature similarity index measure (FSIM) to quantify image quality after enhancement by the composite framework.

Conclusion::

The outcomes of the experiments’ output images and quantitative data indicate that our composite framework is better than others.
Prediction of Microwave Ablation Recurrence in Pulmonary Malignancies
Using Preoperative Computed Tomography Radiomics Models
Authors: Zhu Fandong , Yang Chen , Yang Jing , Mao Haijia , Huang Yanan , Liu Hao , Zhao Zhenhua
Published: February 2024

Background::

The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate preoperative computed tomography (CT) radiomics models as noninvasive diagnostic methods for predicting MWA recurrence in pulmonary malignancies.Assessing the early efficacy of microwave ablation (MWA) for pulmonary malignancies is a challenge for interventionalists. However, performing
an accurate efficacy assessment at an earlier stage can significantly enhance clinical intervention and improve the patient’s prognosis.

Purpose::

This research aimed to create and assess non-invasive diagnostic techniques using pre-operative computed tomography (CT) radiomics models to
predict the recurrence of MWA in pulmonary malignancies.

Materials and Methods::

We retrospectively enrolled 116 eligible patients with pulmonary malignancies treated with MWA. we separated the patients into two groups: a
recurrence group (n = 28) and a non-recurrence group (n = 88), following the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (m-RECIST)
criteria. We segmented the preoperative tumor area manually. We expanded outward the tumor boundary 4 times, with a width of 3 mm, using the
tumor boundary as the baseline. Five groups of radiomics features were extracted and screened using max-relevance and min-redundancy (mRMR)
and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression. Weight coefficients of the aforementioned features were used to calculate
the Radscore and construct radiomics models for both tumoral and peritumoral areas. The Radscore from the radiomics model was combined with
clinical risk factors to construct a combined model. The performance and clinical usefulness of the combined models were assessed through the
evaluation of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, the Delong test, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA) curves.

Results::

The clinical risk factor for recurrence after MWA was tumor diameter (P < 0.05). Both tumoral and four peritumoral radiomics models exhibited
high diagnostic efficacy. Furthermore, the combined 1 (C1)-RO model and the combined 2 (C2)-RO model showed higher efficacy with area under
the curve (AUCs) of 0.89 and 0.89 in the training cohort, and 0.93 and 0.94 in the validation cohort, respectively. Both combined models
demonstrated excellent predictive accuracy and clinical benefit.

Conclusion::

Preoperative CT radiomics models for both tumoral and peritumoral regions are capable of accurately predicting the recurrence of pulmonary
malignancies after MWA. The combination of both models may lead to better performance and may aid in devising more effective preoperative
treatment strategies.

Methods::

Clinical data of patients with AP complicated by PE treated in Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province between January 2017 and September 2022
were retrospectively collected. Combined with the relevant literature, the clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognoses of patients with AP
combined with PE were analyzed and summarized.

Results::

Five patients were eventually enrolled in this study. Among the five patients with AP complicated by PE, all (100%) had symptoms of malaise,
primarily chest tightness, shortness of breath, and dyspnea. All patients (100%) had varied degrees of elevated D-dimer levels and a significant
decrease in the pressure of partial oxygen (PO2) and pressure of arterial oxygen to fractional inspired oxygen concentration ratio (PaO2/FiO2).
Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) or pulmonary ventilation/perfusion imaging revealed a pulmonary artery filling defect in these
patients. One patient (20%) had left calf muscular venous thrombosis before the occurrence of PE. Four patients (80%) were treated with lowmolecular-
weight heparin (LMWH), and one patient (20%) was treated with rivaroxaban during hospitalization; all continued oral anticoagulant
therapy after discharge. All patients (100%) were cured and discharged. No patients showed recurrence of AP or PE.

Conclusion::

PE is a rare but life-threatening complication of AP. However, once diagnosed, early treatment with anticoagulation or radiological interventional
procedures is effective, and the prognosis is good.

Core Tips::

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a rare but life-threatening complication of acute pancreatitis (AP). Its early diagnosis and timely anticoagulation or
radiological intervention can reduce mortality. However, only nine cases have been reported in the English literature thus far, and they are all case
reports. Our study is the first systematic analysis of patients with AP combined with PE with a review of the relevant literature. Our patients and
those reported in the literature were discharged with good prognoses under treatment such as anticoagulation and vascular intervention. These
cases remind clinicians that, in patients with AP, especially those with risk factors for venous thrombosis, it is necessary to monitor the D-dimer
level dynamically. Clinicians should pay attention to AP patients' symptoms and related examinations to reduce the chance of a missed diagnosis
or misdiagnosis of PE.

Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui efektivitas Elclivs berbasis Inquiry untuk meningkatkan penguasaan konsep siswa tunanetra pada materi rangkaian listrik. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu quasi experiment dengan desain one-group prettest-posttest. Partisipan yang digunakan yaitu siswa tunanetra kelas IX di SLB A Dria Adi dan SLB A YAAT. Berdasarkan hasil uji gain standar, 3 dari 5 siswa yang mengikuti pretes dan postes menunjukkan peningkatan penguasaan konsep yang baik. Hasil uji Wilcoxon menunjukkan bahwa penerapan Elclivs berbasis Inquiry belum signifikan untuk meningkatkan penguasaan konsep siswa. Perhitungan bilangan pecahan merupakan kelemahan utama siswa tunanetra dalam menguasai konsep rangkaian listrik. Namun, hasil observasi menunjukkan bahwa minat belajar, antusiame dan penalaran siswa saat mengikuti pembelajaran meningkat melalui penerapan Elclivs berbasis Inquiry. Keterampilan berhitung dalam hal ini hanya alat bantu untuk menguasai konsep. Dengan demikian hasil penelitian yang diperoleh dapat disimpulkan bahwa Elclivs dapat menigkatkan penguasaan konsep siswa pada materi rangkaian listrik. Elclivs-inquiry based to enhance visual impairment student conceptual understanding in electricity circuit topics   AbstractThe aims of this research to know the effectiveness of Elclivs-Inquiry-based to enhance conceptual understanding on Electricity circuit topics of visual impairment student. One-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was used. IX grade visual impairment students in Dria Adi and YAAT Klaten Special Education School have participated in this research. 3 of 5 students who take the pretest and posttest obtained the good level of conceptual understanding normalized gain. Wilcoxon test was showed that Elclivs-Inquiry-based implementation is not significant to enhance visual impairment student conceptual understanding. Fraction number calculations is the most visual impairment lacks to understanding the electricity circuit concept. However, the observation showed that the learning interest, enthusiasm, and reasoning of student increase by Elclivs-Inquiry-based implementation.

Microbial literacy plays an essential role in understanding microbiology issues. Discussion of socioscientific issues is one way to improve microbial literacy and argumentative skills. Socioscientific issues discussion takes a long time if applied in an inadequate classroom. Thus, social media is used as a tool to discuss socioscientific issues. This study aims to utilize social media Facebook' in discussing socioscientific issues. The research method used is quasi-experimental. The pre-post one group design was used to know the effect of socioscientific discussion on argumentation skills, and the pre and post-control group design was used to know the differences in microbiological literacy of students who discuss socioscientific issues and did not discuss socioscientific issues. Discussion of socioscientific issues is carried out through four steps: polemic, exploration, conclusion, and action. The results showed increased individual argumentation skills before and after discussing socioscientific issues via Facebook. Before the discussion there are 34.38% of students reached argumentation levels 4 to 5, after which 56.25% reached argumentation levels 4-5. Discussion of socioscientific issues through social media has made group argumentation skills reach higher performance (level 5). Microbiological literacy between groups discussing socioscientific issues and not discussing socioscientific issues showed no significant difference except for questions directly related to the topic of discussion, namely changes in perceptions of microbes. Online discussions of socioscientific issues with pro and con arguments were very effective through social media “Facebook.”
