Authors: Tagliabue Jade Fontenele , Alves Lísia Daltro Borges , Antunes Héliton Spíndola
Published: August 2024

Introdução: Os bisfosfonatos são usados no tratamento de condições ósseas como metástases ósseas de tumores sólidos e mieloma múltiplo. Esses medicamentos podem causar osteonecrose dos maxilares, efeito adverso incomum que prejudica a qualidade de vida dos  pacientes. Objetivo: Descrever o perfil clínico-epidemiológico dos pacientes em uso de bisfosfonatos do Instituto Nacional de Câncer. Método: Estudo transversal retrospectivo, com informações de prontuários de pacientes atendidos na seção de odontologia entre 2018 e 2022. Resultados: Entre os 108 pacientes incluídos de acordo com os critérios do estudo, a maioria era do sexo masculino (56,5%), acima de 50 anos (82,4%), com mieloma múltiplo (76,9%). O pamidronato dissódico foi o bisfosfonato mais prescrito (37,0%), na dose de 90 mg (94,7%), mensalmente (74,3%), para tratamento de mieloma múltiplo (77,8%). As consultas odontológicas ocorreram predominantemente antes e durante o uso dos bisfosfonatos, embora a quantidade de consultas tenha sido maior após o uso. Os pacientes foram majoritariamente dentados e usuários de próteses insatisfatórias. A mobilidade dentária foi mais comum antes do bisfosfonato (60,9%), e também nesse momento o procedimento que teve maior demanda foi a exodontia (45,8%). Já no decorrer e após, os mais realizados foram as raspagens (51,3%). As lesões periapicais foram os achados radiográficos mais comuns antes e durante o tratamento, e a rarefação óssea após. Dois pacientes (1,85%) apresentaram osteonecrose em mandíbula. Conclusão: Foram observados alta demanda de cuidados odontológicos invasivos antes do tratamento, perda de follow-up após e maior demanda por procedimentos conservadores para manutenção da saúde bucal.
Chromogenic Assay : A Critical Diagnostic Tool for Accurate Diagnosis of Severe Hemophilia A
Authors: Krishna Goutham , Diljith Hitha , Majeed Abdul
Published: August 2024

Haemophilia A is a genetic disorder characterized by the absence or reduced activity of factor VIII (FVIII), a crucial protein for blood clotting. The severity of Haemophilia A is directly related to the level of FVIII activity in the blood. The conventional one-stage clotting assay is the most commonly used diagnostic tool due to its simplicity and widespread availability. However, in cases of mild or moderate Haemophilia A, there can be significant disparities between results obtained from one-stage and two-stage assays. These discrepancies can result in normal FVIII levels being reported by the one-stage assay, potentially leading to a missed diagnosis or underestimation of the patient's bleeding risk. We present a case of a 18-year-old male diagnosed with severe Haemophilia A. The patient’s medical history included multiple severe bleeding episodes, including spontaneous haemarthrosis and prolonged bleeding following minor injuries. Despite these symptoms, the initial diagnostic approach using the one-stage assay suggested normal FVIII activity, which could have led to inadequate treatment and management strategies. Findings in Chromogenic Assay were crucial in correctly identifying the severe nature of the disorder, thus underscoring the importance of using multiple diagnostic tools to confirm FVIII activity levels. This case highlights the role of the chromogenic assay in the accurate diagnosis of Haemophilia A, particularly in patients where clinical symptoms do not match with one-stage assay results. This case emphasizes the need for heightened awareness among clinicians regarding the limitations of the one-stage assay and the benefits of incorporating the chromogenic assay into routine diagnostic practice for Haemophilia A.
Gioia e tristezza a confronto: uno studio sulla memoria autobiografica emozionale
Authors: Zambetti Elisa , Sotgiu Igor
Published: August 2024

Gioia e tristezza si verificano con grande frequenza nella vita quotidiana delle persone comuni. Scopo del presente studio è indagare le somiglianze e differenze tra i ricordi autobiografici riferiti a queste due emozioni. Hanno partecipato alla ricerca due gruppi di adulti confrontabili per età, genere e titolo di studio: i partecipanti del primo gruppo (N = 95) dovevano raccontare per iscritto un evento di gioia, mentre quelli del secondo gruppo (N = 90) un evento di tristezza. A tutti i partecipanti sono stati somministrati poi tre questionari self-report che valutavano rispettivamente l'esperienza soggettiva del ricordo, la centralità dell'evento e la condivisione sociale dell'emozione. I risultati hanno mostrato che le narrazioni di tristezza erano significativamente più lunghe delle narrazioni di gioia. Tuttavia, le due categorie di ricordi esaminate presentavano delle somiglianze sostanziali in relazione ad un ampio numero di variabili quali il livello di coerenza narrativa, le principali caratteristiche fenomenologiche del ricordo (es. vividezza, qualità, intensità emozionale) e il tasso di condivisione sociale delle emozioni. In conclusione, sebbene profondamente differenti sul piano della valenza edonica, gioia e tristezza sembrano avere un impatto simile sulla memoria autobiografica.
Formação de professores e Análise do Comportamento – a produção da pós-graduação nas áreas de Psicologia e Educação
Authors:   Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná, Rodrigues Maria Ester , Moroz Melania ,   Pontifícia Universidade Católicade São Paulo
Published: August 2024

O presente trabalho analisa a contribuição do Behaviorismo Radical para a formação de professores, a partir de teses e dissertações no período de 1970 a 2002, abrangendo 32 anos de produção da pósgraduação stricto sensu em Psicologia e Educação. Dada a existência de equívocos e desconhecimento sobre a Análise do Comportamento/ Behaviorismo Radical e a escassez de estudos acerca da produção da abordagem direcionada à área da Educação, no Brasil, justifica-se o estudo realizado. Foram verificados resumos de dissertações e teses relacionadas à Análise do Comportamento e Educação, dos quais foram selecionados 282 trabalhos (2,77% da produção) direcionados à área da Educação, dos quais apenas 17 deles (0,16% da produção) eram voltados especificamente à formação de professores. O conjunto de trabalhos voltados à Educação em geral foi analisado, a partir dos resumos, identificando-se características, dentre as quais instituição de defesa, orientadores, natureza e objetivo do trabalho, sujeitos, nível de ensino. Os 17 trabalhos relativos à formação de professores foram analisados na íntegra, de acordo com categorias construídas a partir de sugestões fornecidas por, basicamente, três autores (Bijou, 1970; Zanotto, 1997 e Gioia, 2001) que, afinados com a proposta skinneriana, permitem derivar propostas para a Educação, o ensino e a formação de professores. Em relação a estes últimos, são apresentados e discutidos especificamente os resultados relativos às propostas de formação de professores planejadas/ efetivadas pelos autores, a fim de evidenciar o que foi priorizado pela abordagem em relação à formação desses profissionais. Dentre os aspectos pontuados destacam-se o preparo do professor como modificador de comportamentos-alvo dos alunos, especialmente os acadêmicos, o desenvolvimento de habilidades necessárias para ensinar, o ensino de procedimentos de pesquisa característicos da abordagem e de seus conceitos básicos, inexistindo o ensino da filosofia behaviorista radical. O presente trabalho traz dados para reflexão acerca da presença da Análise do Comportamento/Behaviorismo Radical na Educação brasileira, a partir de teses e dissertações, bem como sobre os tópicos que, num sentido real compõem, e que, num sentido ideal, deveriam compor uma formação de professores baseada na abordagem.
Mentalismo e explicação do comportamento: aspectos da crítica behaviorista radical à ciência cognitiva
Authors:   UNESP: Universidade Estadual Paulista, Bauru, Zilio Diego , Carrara Kester ,   UNESP: Universidade Estadual Paulista, Bauru
Published: August 2024

O propósito deste artigo é avaliar a relevância das críticas behavioristas radicais ao mentalismo no âmbito da ciência cognitiva. Primeiramente, apresentam-se essas críticas para, em seguida, relacioná-las com a concepção behaviorista radical de causalidade. Enfatiza-se, principalmente, por que o behaviorismo radical é imune aos possíveis problemas do mentalismo e, também, por que o mentalismo pode resultar nesses problemas. O passo seguinte inicia-se com a constatação de que a ciência cognitiva é mentalista porque é a ciência dos eventos internos, mas que ser mentalista não implicaria necessariamente aceitar de forma não crítica os problemas apontados por Skinner, fato que é evidenciado pela apresentação do desenvolvimento histórico da ciência cognitiva. A conclusão a que se chega é que cada crítica behaviorista radical tornou-se, no âmbito da ciência cognitiva, um obstáculo; o que significa que também para a ciência cognitiva os problemas do mentalismo são vistos como problemas. Duas conseqüências decorrem desse fato. A primeira é a impossibilidade de criticar a ciência cognitiva apenas por causa de seu caráter mentalista. A segunda é que, ao tratar desses problemas, a ciência cognitiva, no seu desdobramento relacionado à cognição incorporada e situada, acabou por defender posição semelhante à sustentada pelo behaviorismo radical.
Cultura do estupro: considerações sobre violência sexual, feminismo e Análise do Comportamento
Authors:   Universidade Federal de São Carlos, Castro de Carvalho Freitas Júlia , Oliveira de Morais Amanda ,   Universidad Estatal de Londrina
Published: August 2024

ComportamentoRESUMOO movimento feminista tem usado a expressão cultura do estupro para defender que comportamentos sexualmente violentos são explicados contextualmente, não se tratando de ocorrên-cias isoladas ou de efeitos de agentes psicológicos internos. Considerando a compatibilidade entre feminismo e Análise do Comportamento e que esta pode ser uma ferramenta de transfor-mação de práticas sociais injustas e opressivas, o objetivo deste artigo consiste em apresen-tar uma análise comportamental de práticas culturais e comportamentos presentes na cultura do estupro a partir de considerações feministas. Foram empregados conceitos da Análise do Comportamento como modelagem, modelação e equivalência de estímulos para discutir a categorização por gênero, os modelos midiáticos de papéis sexuais, o conceito de mitos sobre estupro e como nos comportamos em função deles, as práticas de culpabilização da vítima e seu acolhimento e o processo de justiça relacionado à violência sexual. Ao final, aponta-se que a cultura do estupro pode ser caracterizada, em termos comportamentais, por um conjunto de contingências que são encorajadoras e/ou permissivas com práticas sexuais violentas e por um conjunto de classes de comportamentos sexualmente abusivos, dos mais sutis ao estupro, que ocorrem no contexto patriarcal.
The place of linguistic variants in Social Skills Training

Published: August 2024

Uma variante linguística é uma certa forma de falar, própria de um povo, classe social ou grupo, que pode variar em relação à pronúncia das palavras, à gramática dos proferimentos e à escolha das palavras. Na Sociolinguística, os estudos sobre as variantes linguísticas apontam que elas estão associadas ao status social dos grupos que as falam, de modo que os indivíduos recebem diferentes tipos de julgamento social a depender da sua variante. Neste ensaio, argumenta-se que as variantes linguísticas são um importante componente paralinguístico das habilidades sociais, especialmente relevante no desempenho social do falar em público. Discute-se que a variante linguística é mais do que uma característica topográfica do falar, pois, devido às normas linguísticas adotadas pelas comunidades verbais em suas práticas de reforçamento, o desempenho dos falantes é reforçado ou punido a depender do seguimento ou não de tais normas. Essas considerações implicam em incluir no Treinamento de Habilidades Sociais, a depender do caso, um treino para o cliente discriminar os diferentes contextos de interação social onde se encontra e adaptar seu repertório verbal conforme a variante linguística mais efetiva para cada contexto e audiência, favorecendo a flexibilidade e a variabilidade de repertório
O que nos torna analistas do comportamento? A teoria como elemento integrador
Authors:   Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, Zilio Diego
Published: August 2024

O que nos torna analistas do comportamento? Argumentarei neste ensaio que o elemento definidor da área não está em suas dimensões experimental e aplicada, mas sim nas preconcepções teóricas que compõem a filosofia “behaviorismo radical”. Definir exatamente quais preconcepções seriam essas é assunto aberto a debate, mas o selecionismo e o antimentalismo são possíveis exemplos. O ponto importante é que, nesse contexto, o behaviorismo radical deixa de ser apenas uma dimensão da tríade equilátera da análise do comportamento (behaviorismo radical, análise aplicada do comportamento e análise experimental do comportamento) para se tornar o próprio campo em que as outras dimensões da área se integram em um todo coerente. Para fundamentar essa tese, explorarei diversos usos possíveis do termo “teoria”. Da multiplicidade de significados segue-se que a teoria é onipresente na prática analíticocomportamental. Duas consequências dessa constatação serão avaliadas. Em primeiro lugar, discorrerei sobre a importância dos produtos do teorizar (as teorias) no controle do comportamento dos analistas do comportamento. Em segundo lugar, abordarei a importância da análise teórica do comportamento (ATC), cujo objeto de estudo é justamente os elementos teóricos definidores da área. Ser um analista do comportamento é estar sob controle desses elementos.

Background

Cross-sectionally, older age and obesity are associated with increased coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) risk. We assessed the longitudinal associations of baseline and changes in adiposity parameters with COVID-19 incidence in older adults at high cardiovascular risk.

Methods

This analysis included 6874 men and women (aged 55–75 years) with overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome in the PREDIMED-Plus lifestyle intervention trial for cardiovascular risk reduction. Body weight, body-mass-index (BMI), waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), and a body shape index (ABSI) were measured at baseline and annual follow-up visits. COVID-19 was ascertained by an independent Event Committee until 31 December 2021. Cox regression models were fitted to evaluate the risk of COVID-19 incidence based on baseline adiposity parameters measured 5–6 years before the pandemic and their changes at the visit prior to censoring.

Results

At the time of censoring, 653 incident COVID-19 cases occurred. Higher baseline body weight, BMI, waist circumference, and WHtR were associated with increased COVID-19 risk. During the follow-up, every unit increase in body weight (HRadj (95%CI): 1.01 (1.00, 1.03)) and BMI (HRadj: 1.04 (1.003, 1.08)) was associated with increased COVID-19 risk.

Conclusions

In older adults with overweight/obesity, clinically significant weight loss may protect against COVID-19.
Standaryzacja raportowania ESG jako wyzwanie dla rynku kapitału podwyższonego ryzyka
Authors: Mikołajczyk Olga
Published: August 2024

W artykule przedstawiono zagadnienia związane z jednym z wyzwań stojących przed podmiotami działającymi na rynku kapitału podwyższonego ryzyka – koniecznością standaryzacji procesów raportowania aspektów środowiskowych, społecznych i ładu korporacyjnego (ESG). Zwrócono uwagę na istotę problemu raportowania ESG w środowisku funduszy private equity. Rozważania zostały poprzedzone charakterystyką działalności funduszy oraz opisem ich procesu inwestycyjnego. Wskazano również na konieczność wdrożenia standardów raportowania czynników ESG w działalności funduszy oraz ich spółek portfelowych, co stanowi przedmiot zainteresowania wszystkich interesariuszy na rynku private equity. Opisywana problematyka jest o tyle istotna, o ile uwzględnianie przez firmy działające na rynku private equity czynników ESG podczas dokonywania inwestycji zwiększa ich potencjał do osiągania wyższych zysków, pozwalając im jednocześnie ograniczyć ekspozycję na ryzyko. Można zatem skonkludować, iż zainteresowanie standaryzacją rośnie wykładniczo i staje się nieodzownym elementem każdej transakcji z udziałem funduszy private equity.
The relationship between modular metrics and fuzzy metrics revisited
Authors: Romaguera Bonilla Salvador
Published: August 2024

In a famous article published in 1975, Kramosil and Mich\'{a}lek introduced a notion of fuzzy metric that was the origin of numerous researches and publications in several frameworks and fields. In 2010, Chistyakov introduced and discussed in detail the concept of modular metric. Since then, some authors have investigated the problem of establishing connections between the notions of fuzzy metric and modular metric, obtaining positive partial solutions. In this paper, we are interested in determining the precise relationship between these two concepts. To achieve this goal, we examine a proof, based on the use of uniformities, of the important result that the topology induced by a fuzzy metric is metrizable. As a consequence of that analysis, we introduce the notion of a weak fuzzy metric and show that every weak fuzzy metric, with continuous t-norm the minimum t-norm, generates a modular metric and, conversely, we show that every modular metric generates a weak fuzzy metric, with continuous t-norm the product t-norm. It follows that every modular metric can be generated from a suitable weak fuzzy metric, and that several examples and properties of modular metrics can be directly deduced from those previously obtained in the field of fuzzy metrics.
Consumer purchase behavior in a circular economy: The mediating role of switching and purchase intention in the context of refurbished smartphone
Authors: Nguyen Dinh Toan , Nguyen Dinh Son , Le Manh Hung
Published: August 2024

Purpose - The circular economy (CE) has become a topic of dialogue among academia, companies, and public bodies. Consumers are key actors in the circular economy loop, yet consumer behavior remains at the periphery of research in this area. This study aims to propose and empirically test the barriers and drivers that influence consumers’ purchase behavior in the context of refurbished smartphones through the mediating roles of switching intention and purchase intention.
Design/methodology/approach - The study first reviewed previous research and developed hypotheses related to the research objectives. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted to test the hypotheses, employing survey data gathered from 762 consumers in Vietnam.
Findings - Our findings suggest that purchase behavior is directly influenced by switching intention and purchase intention of consumers, as well as prices, attitudes, subjective norms, and convenience had a significant positive effect on switching intention and purchase intention. In addition, consumer innovativeness had a significant positive effect on switching intention, and perceived risk had a significant negative effect on switching intention. Moreover, switching intention and purchase intention are found to mediate the relationship between push, pull, and mooring factors and purchase behavior.
Practical implications - This research informs refurbishers and marketing managers about proper product development and marketing strategies and ultimately increases consumers’ purchase behavior.
Originality/value - This research extends the existing literature by accentuating the role of the push, pull, and mooring factors in promoting the adoption of refurbished products.
Keywords Circular economy, purchase behavior, purchase intention, switching intention.
Vienan runonlaulajia ja tietäjiä

Julkaisijan alkusanat

Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden Seuran kansanrunousarkistossa on vuosisatamme ensimmäiseltä kymmeneltä kolme Vienan runonlaulajia ja tietäjiä esittelevää käsikirjoitusta; niiden varaan tietomme näistä merkkihenkilöistä suurelta osalta perustuvat. Laajimmat ovat Petri Lesosen ja livo Marttisen - kahden syntyperäisen vienankarjalaisen - kynästä lähteneet. Suppeampi on opettaja Aatu Kurosen kirjoittama, hyvin arvokas sekin, sillä siinä on uutta tietoa Latvajärven mainiosta Miihkali Arhippaisesta. Nämä käsikirjoitukset olivat A.P. Niemelle tärkeä lähde "Vienan läänin runonlaulajat ja tietäjät" -teokseen (ilm. 1921), joka kuuluu liitteenä hänen toimittamiinsa Vienan läänin runoihin. Kurosen, Lesosen ja Marttisen käsikirjoituksia on hyödynnetty myöhemminkin, esim. Martti Haavio teoksessaan "Viimeiset runonlaulajat" (ilm. 1943, II korjattu painos 1948) ja Pertti Virtaranta kirjassaan "Polku sammui" (1972).

Käsikirjoituksen julkaiseminen tuli mahdolliseksi siten, että Karjalan Sivistysseura päätti lähestyvän 70-vuotisjuhlansa merkeissä maksaa sen painatuksesta aiheutuvat kustannukset. Tästä lämmin kiitos Sivistysseuran johdolle!

Käsikirjoitukset on julkaistu alkuperäisessä asussaan. Vain jokin ilmeinen kirjoitusvirhe on oikaistu, muutama välimerkki lisätty, w korvattu v:llä, yhdysmerkkinä joskus esiintyvä = muutettu -:ksi, ja affrikaatan merkinnän kirjavuus on tasoitettu vienalaismurteiden mukaiseksi (esim. mettšä, yks. gen. metšän). Alleviivaukset ovat asianomaisen kirjoittajan. Koska käsikirjoituksissa on sanoja ja sanontoja, jotka karjalan kieleen tottumattomalle voivat jäädä käsittämättömiksi, olen loppuun liittänyt pienen sanaluettelon selityksineen.

Monetary Policy and Inflation Dynamics in Nigeria: A Bayesian DSGE Approach
Authors: Adebiyi Michael , Adamgbe Emmanuel , Odu Ada
Published: August 2024

This study examines monetary policy shock and inflation dynamics in Nigeria within an open economy Bayesian DSGE model framework, employing data from 2000Q1 to 2023Q1. It applies different price measures across the pre-COVID/Russia-Ukraine war era and the entire sample. Findings reveal a significant impact of monetary policy shock on inflation, irrespective of the price measure adopted. Remarkably, the results also reveal a marginal decline in the potency of monetary policy in the COVID/Russisa-Ukraine War era, compared to the pre- COVID/Russisa-Ukraine War era. The study recommends the adoption of GDP deflator as the measure of inflation that anchors inflation expectations as it is most responsive to monetary policy innovations. It also recommends complementing monetary policy with supply-side policies when faced with inflationary pressures occasioned by supply chain disruptions.
Commodity price shocks and monetary policies in commodity exporting African countries - A DSGE analysis
Authors: Rasaki Mutiu , Chukwu Anayochukwu
Published: August 2024

The study investigates alternative monetary policy rules in commodity-exporting African countries, by formulating, estimating and simulating a DSGE model for 5 African countries. We apply the Bayesian technique for our estimation and utilize impulse response functions to evaluate alternative monetary policy rules to commodity price shocks. Our results show that commodity price shocks influence business cycle fluctuations in African countries, whereas the results from alternative monetary policy rules are mixed. The findings show that nominal GDP targeting (NGDPT) is the best policy rule to minimize output volatility and price variations against positive commodity price shocks. However, if the objective is to minimize the effects of positive commodity price shocks on the exchange rate, the inflation targeting (IT) is the best policy rule. Further, the findings shows that IT and NGDPT are the best policy rules to stabilize output and prices against negative commodity price shocks while exchange rate targeting (ERT) is the best policy rule to stabilize exchange rate against negative commodity price shocks.

Bu çalışma acil sağlık hizmetleri çalışanlarının çalışma duruşlarının kas iskelet sistemi ana eklemleri üzerinde oluşturduğu postüral yükleri ve işle ilgili KİS yaralanma riskini analiz etmeye odaklanmıştır. Postüral analizde; OWAS, RULA ve REBA gözlem yöntemleri kullanılmış ve analiz sonuçlarına göre üç yöntem karşılaştırılmıştır. Araştırmanın evreni, İstanbul 112 acil sağlık hizmetleri istasyonlarında görevli Acil Tıp Teknisyenleri/Teknikerleridir.
Postüral analiz sonuçlarına göre referans alınan çalışma duruşlarının REBA ve RULA yöntemlerine göre risk seviyesi ‘Çok Yüksek’ düzeydedir. OWAS analizine göre ise çalışma duruşlarının eylem seviyesi kararsız bir dağılım göstermiştir. REBA ve RULA yöntemi ile analiz edilen çalışma duruşlarında postüral stres gövde-boyun-bacak bölgelerinde daha belirgindir. OWAS'ın boyun bükülmesi, omuz yüksekliği, üst kol, alt kol ve bilek açılarına duyarsız kaldığı görülmüştür.
Bulgular, üç yöntemden REBA’nın bu çalışmanın koşulları altında postüral stresi tahmin etmek için en iyi analiz aracı olabileceği sonucuna götürmüştür.

Published: August 2024

Günümüzde yanlış elleçme faaliyetleri yapılması nedeniyle iş yaşamında kas iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıkları ciddi bir sağlık problemi halini almıştır. Bu rahatsızlıklar sadece çalışanların sağlığını ve psikolojisini olumsuz etkilemekle kalmayıp bunun yanında iş günü kayıpları, tazminatlar ve erken emeklilik benzeri nedenlerle de işyeri ve ülke ekonomilerine zarar vermektedir. Kas iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıkları işyerlerinde bazı basit önlemler ile önemli seviyede azaltılabilmelerine karşın uygulanan çalışmaların yetersiz kaldığı görülmektedir. Bununla birlikte bu rahatsızlıkların önlenmediği durumlarda da sakatlanmalara, zor ve pahalı tedavi süreçlerine neden olabildiği bilinmektedir. Tüm bu olumsuz etkilerle birlikte 6331 sayılı iş sağlığı ve güvenliği (İSG) kanununun işverenlere yüklediği sorumluluklar dahilinde bu rahatsızlığın erken teşhisi çok önemlidir. Kas iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıklarının erken tespiti ergonomik risk değerlendirmesini ön plana çıkarmaktadır. Yapılan bu çalışmada bir havalimanı dahilinde yiyecek içecek faaliyetlerinde bulunan bir firmada çalışan personellerin iş süreçlerinde maruz kaldığı ergonomik risklerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Firmanın elle yapılan iş süreçleri aşama aşama gözlemlenip geliştirilen Leitmerkmalmethode zur Beurteilung und Gestaltung von Belastungen beim manuellen Heben, Halten und Tragen von Lasten (LMM HHT) ve Leitmerkmalmethode zur Beurteilung und Gestaltung von Belastungen beim manuellen Ziehen und Schieben von Lasten (LMM ZS) yöntemleri kullanılarak risk değerlendirmesi yapılmıştır. Bu yöntemlerin kullanılması ile yüksek risk bulunan iş süreçleri ayrıca ölçümlerin doğruluğunun kontrolü için Ovako Working Posture Analyzing System (OWAS) yöntemi ile de değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma ortamında yapılan faaliyetlerde tek çalışan yerine en az iki çalışan ve otomatik sistemli iş ekipmanlarının kullanılması önerilmiştir.
TÜRK İTFAİYECİLERDE BİR MESLEKİ PSİKOLOJİK HASTALIK OLARAK TRAVMA SONRASI STRES
Authors: Baltacı Recep , İşeri Ali
Published: August 2024

Bu çalışmanın birincil amacı, birçok ülkede itfaiyeciler için bir meslek hastalığı olarak görülen Travma Sonrası Stres Bozukluğunun (TSSB) Türkiye’de profesyonel olarak çalışan itfaiye personeli arasındaki yaygınlığını tespit etmektir. Bu amaçla DSM IV kriterlerine dayanan PTDS yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bu soruların yanında demografik, mesleki ve psikososyal risklere yönelik bazı sorular da anket formuna eklenmiştir. Çalışmaya Antalya, Adana, Konya ve Ankara Büyükşehir Belediye İtfaiye Dairesinde çalışan 273 personel gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Olası TSSB yaygınlığı, PTDS yöntemi kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. Bununla beraber toplam şiddet skoru metriği üzerinden bazı faktörlerin TSSB’ye etkisi de incelenmiştir. Ortaya çıkan sonuçlara göre Türk itfaiyecilerinde TSSB yaygınlığı %16,5 (%95 güven aralığıyla %12,3-%21,4) olarak tespit edilmiştir. Bu oran farklı ülkelerdeki itfaiyeciler üzerinde yapılan çalışmalara kıyasla düşük sayılabilir. Ancak genel popülasyon oranlarıyla kıyaslandığında oldukça yüksektir. Bu da TSSB’nin itfaiyeciler için bir meslek hastalığı olduğu tezini güçlendirmektedir. Yapılan ayrıntılı analizlerde TSSB toplam şiddet skoru üzerinde yaş, medeni durum, eğitim, gelir, sigara ve alkol kullanımı, deneyim gibi faktörlerin anlamlı etkisi ortaya konamazken, çalışılan il, psikolojik tedavi geçmişi, mesleği isteyerek seçmek, mobbing uygulamalarına maruz kaldığını düşünmek, müdahale edilen olay sayısı gibi faktörlerin anlamlı etkisi olduğu görülmüştür. Bu durum psikososyal risklerin etkisini de ortaya koymaktadır.

The aim of this study was to understand the relationship between acoustic characteristics and body size of Korean rockfish Sebastes schlegelii in order to better estimate the body length of S. schlegelii by passive acoustic techniques. In this study, S. schlegelii, with a body length ranging from 21.7 to 24.8 cm (mean ± SD = 23.33 ± 0.93 cm) and a body weight of 144.2 to 250.3 g were selected as subjects. The aim was to explore the relationship between the acoustic characteristics of the fish and their standardized lengths through aquarium experiments. The vocalization frequency exhibited a main peak at around 150 Hz, a sub-peak at approximately 100 Hz, and the primary vocalization band extended from 100 to 350 Hz, with a pulse duration of 15.2 ± 2.4 ms. The results indicated that the peak frequency was negatively correlated with the standardized length, swim bladder length, width, and height (p <0.001). This research contributes to the understanding of the relationship between acoustic properties and body size and suggests the potential utility of passive acoustic monitoring techniques for estimating the body lengths of target species.

The Predicaments of UK Wrongful Trading Liability in Insolvency: Implications for Nigeria and Proposal for a Resilient Approach
Authors: Liman Yusuf Usman , Yusoff Zuryati Mohamed , Rahman Rohana Abdul
Published: August 2024

Despite the intentions behind the UK's directors' wrongful trading liability provision, scholars agree that it has fallen short of its compensatory and deterrent objectives. The liability provision suffers from a low enforcement rate due to difficulties initiating claims in court, proof of intent against the director, and the impact of the provision on the directors to seek rescue measures in the insolvency vicinity. The article adopts the doctrinal research method to show that the formulation and enforcement of wrongful trading in the UK have occasioned risks, stress, uncertainty, and dilemmas among directors, liquidators, courts, and policymakers. The article argues that the risks, dilemmas, and uncertainty occasioned by wrongful trading liability are comparable to the symptoms and manifestations that resilience seeks to overcome. Because of this, Nigeria should adopt a resilience strategy of adjusting to risks, change, frustration, and dilemmas as a model for adaptation and dealing with the lessons discovered from the UK's wrongful trading liability experiences. The study is beneficial for providing resilient goals, resilient statutory provisions, and resilient enforcement mechanisms for Nigeria to implement towards the efficacy of the transplanted UK wrongful trading liability provided under the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020 in Nigeria.

Multidimensional analysis of tumor stem cells: from biological properties, metabolic adaptations to immune escape mechanisms
Authors: Han Han , He Ting , Wu Yingfan , He Tianmei , Zhou Weiqiang
Published: August 2024

As a key factor in tumorigenesis, progression, recurrence and metastasis, the biological properties, metabolic adaptations and immune escape mechanisms of CSCs are the focus of current oncological research. CSCs possess self-renewal, multidirectional differentiation and tumorigenicity, and their mechanisms of action can be elucidated by the clonal evolution, hierarchical model and the dynamic CSCs model, of which the dynamic model is widely recognized due to its better explanation of the function and origin of CSCs. The origin hypothesis of CSCs involves cell-cell fusion, horizontal gene transfer, genomic instability and microenvironmental regulation, which together shape the diversity of CSCs. In terms of classification, CSCs include primary CSCs (pri-CSCs), precancerous stem cells (pre-CSCs), migratory CSCs (mig-CSCs), and chemo-radiotherapy-resistant CSCs (cr-CSCs and rr-CSCs), with each type playing a specific role in tumor progression. Surface markers of CSCs, such as CD24, CD34, CD44, CD90, CD133, CD166, EpCAM, and LGR5, offer the possibility of identifying, isolating, and targeting CSCs, but the instability and heterogeneity of their expression increase the difficulty of treatment. CSCs have adapted to their survival needs through metabolic reprogramming, showing the ability to flexibly switch between glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), as well as adjustments to amino acid and lipid metabolism. The Warburg effect typifies their metabolic profiles, and altered glutamine and fatty acid metabolism further contributes to the rapid proliferation and survival of CSCs. CSCs are able to maintain their stemness by regulating the metabolic networks to maintain their stemness characteristics, enhance antioxidant defences, and adapt to therapeutic stress. Immune escape is another strategy for CSCs to maintain their survival, and CSCs can effectively evade immune surveillance through mechanisms such as up-regulating PD-L1 expression and promoting the formation of an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Together, these properties reveal the multidimensional complexity of CSCs, underscoring the importance of a deeper understanding of the biology of CSCs for the development of more effective tumor therapeutic strategies. In the future, therapies targeting CSCs will focus on precise identification of surface markers, intervention of metabolic pathways, and overcoming immune escape, with the aim of improving the relevance and efficacy of cancer treatments, and ultimately improving patient prognosis.
Case Report: Extended cardiopulmonary resuscitation in sudden cardiac arrest after acute myocardial infarction
Authors: Yu Zhongkai , Hu Yubin , Chen Xiuli
Published: August 2024

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) mostly occurs in crowded public places outside hospitals, such as public sports facilities, airports, railway stations, subway stations, and shopping malls. The emergency department of Liaocheng People's Hospital in Shandong Province admitted one patient with OHCA in August 2021, who suddenly suffered a loss of consciousness and cardiac arrest during exercise after dinner. Witnesses immediately gave continuous chest compressions and artificial respiration and called our hospital's emergency department (at 120). Arriving at the emergency department, we continued to provide chest compressions and ventilator-assisted ventilation after performing endotracheal intubation. We administered adrenaline for cardiac excitation, dopamine for maintained blood pressure, sodium bicarbonate to correct the acidosis, and multiple electric defibrillations. However, the patient's cardiac Doppler ultrasound indicated poor cardiac contractions, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was started immediately. We performed coronary angiography for the patient with ECMO support, indicating that the patient had an 80% critical stenosis of the left main coronary artery and an 80%–90% stenosis in the middle section of the left anterior descending artery with an aneurysm. Fortunately, there was no obvious stenosis in the right coronary artery. The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit and received comprehensive treatment, including anticoagulation, myocardial nutritional support, improvement of cardiac function, continuous renal replacement therapy, organ function protection, anti-inflammatory treatment, and rehabilitation. Coronary artery bypass grafting was performed after the patient's condition stabilized, and he was finally discharged. ECMO support therapy for patients with cardiac arrest can be considered when economic conditions permit. It is very important to conduct the necessary examinations in the early stage of resuscitation with ECMO support to clarify the cause of the cardiac arrest and to treat it accordingly.
