As the survival rate of cancer patients is low, it is only natural for patients to know how long they will survive. The National Cancer Institute in MD, USA, has developed and maintained the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program for the past four decades. The SEER program incorporates an extensive and growing repository of data related to different types of cancers. Even though the literature presents significant work on predicting the 5-year survivability of cancer patients, there is a need for a fine-grained prognosis. This paper employs the SEER dataset for developing a survivability model for thyroid cancer patients. The proposed framework titled 'Praedico – Salvos' presents higher resolution in the prognosis of thyroid cancer patients while showcasing an accuracy of 88%.

Introdução: A escoliose idiopática do adolescente (EIA) é uma curvatura tridimensional da coluna vertebral, que afeta cerca de 2% a 4% dos adolescentes de 10 a 17 anos. Com sintomas, como alterações na postura corporal, mudanças na mobilidade da coluna vertebral e dificuldades psicossociais. O tratamento conservador é focado em prevenir a progressão da curvatura e inclui técnicas cinesioterapêuticas, órteses corretivas, estimulação elétrica, e entre outros. A revisão sistemática da literatura buscou avaliar a importância da atuação fisioterapêutica na prevenção da progressão de escoliose idiopática do adolescente no sistema único de saúde. Método: Foram incluídos 7 estudos que investigaram a intervenção fisioterapêutica na prevenção da progressão da escoliose idiopática de adolescentes com 10 a 18 anos, englobando ensaios clínicos randomizados, análise quantitativa e revisões sistemáticas gratuitos retirados de bases de dados renomadas Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), National Library of Medicine (PubMed) e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde Brasil (BVS), utilizando os termos de busca "escoliose", "tratamento conservador", "cinesiologia", "fisioterapia" e "sistema único de saúde" nas bases de dados selecionadas. Estudos que não houve a abordagem da intervenção fisioterapêutica precoce ou que não foram relevantes para a prevenção da progressão da escoliose idiopática do adolescente foram excluídos. A análise dos dados foi realizada de forma descritiva, comparando os resultados dos estudos incluídos e identificando as tendências e consistências nos achados. Resultado: A análise de sete artigos revelou a eficácia de várias intervenções fisioterapêuticas no tratamento da escoliose. O método Klapp, avaliado com biofotogrametria computadorizada, demonstrou um alinhamento postural significativo após seis meses de tratamento. O método tridimensional de Schroth foi mais eficaz do que as técnicas de Facilitação Neuromuscular Proprioceptiva (FNP). Exercícios específicos, incluindo alongamento e fortalecimento muscular direcionado, também resultaram em redução do desequilíbrio muscular e da progressão da curvatura ao longo do tempo, indicando melhorias na estrutura da coluna vertebral. Conclusão: O método Schroth foi identificado como eficaz na redução da curvatura escoliótica. No entanto, há escassez de estudos sobre a aplicabilidade desses métodos no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), destacando a necessidade de mais pesquisas nesse contexto.

Among the forms of pneumorenal syndrome (PRS), one of the most urgent is characterized by the combination of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN). In 90% of cases, it is the manifestation of an autoimmune disease, such as pauci-immune vasculitis with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) or Goodpasture's disease with the presence of antibodies directed against the basement membrane of the glomerular and alveolar capillaries (anti-GBM). These antibodies are absent in approximately 10% of cases with histological confirmation in the context of rare clinical situations. We report a case of a 66-year-old patient, with a history of alcoholism and active smoking, who was admitted to the hospital for respiratory distress with hemoptysis. The admission assessment showed severe renal failure requiring hemodialysis upon admission. ANCA and anti-GBM, as well as all other autoantibodies were negative. A renal biopsy revealed pauci-immune extra-capillary glomerulonephritis with the majority of chronic lesions. The orientation of the diagnostic approach in search of other causes of pauci-immune vasculitis with negative antibodies has been initiated. He was treated with glucocorticoids in combination with cyclophosphamide. The initial evolution was marked by the improvement of respiratory symptoms and a less considerable recovery of renal function. PRS can develop without the presence of ANCA or other autoantibodies. The diagnosis is then made by histology. Renal damage, such as extra-capillary glomerulonephritis (GN), is more severe and has a very poor prognosis with a high risk of mortality. The absence of ANCA should never delay diagnosis and treatment.

Introduction: The most common cancer of kidney is- renal cell carcinoma. Early diagnosis can make a hope from the recovery of the disease. The incidence of renal cell carcinoma is commonly found in elderly aged patients. Sometimes it occurs in one kidney whereas, sometimes it effects both kidneys. Smoking, overweight, taking excessive painkillers can increase the chance of renal cell carcinoma. Case Presentation: A 57 years old Bangladeshi diabetic male patient, was diagnosed as right sided renal cell carcinoma (stage pT3cN0G2) along with the chief complaint of recurrent gross hematuria came to outdoor in April 2020. After confirmed diagnosis surgery had done followed by medications. From 10/03/2022, patient started 1 cycle of oral therapy with tablet Sunitinib. After that, immunotherapy and targeted therapy were advised to start with injection Pembrolizumab 200mg every three weeks followed by tablet Axitinib 5mg for every two weeks. Patient received 17 cycles of Pembrolizumab followed by Axitinib and got the last cycle at 24/02/2024. Conclusion: With the minimal side effects, it is evident that, Pembrolizumab has shown a positive response to the patient. It has added the new standard care of treatment of renal cell carcinoma at intermediate-high or high risk of recurrence following nephrectomy or following nephrectomy and resection of metastatic lesions.

Published: November 2023

Factor VII deficiency considered the most common of rare bleeding disorders. The symptoms of this affection can begin at any age, although the most severe cases are apparent in infancy. However, up to one-third of people with factor VII deficiency never have any bleeding problems. Symptoms can range from epistaxis up to cerebral hemorrhage. We here report the case of a child, diagnosed with factor VII deficiency with severe recurrent Bleedings (umbilical haemorrhage, hemarthrosis. lingual hematoma, gastrointestinal and cerebral bleeding). Prophylaxis with rFVIIa in a schedule based on 20-30 μg/kg of rFVIIa one, twice or three times a week has been described as the therapeutic regimen with the best outcomes in terms of reduction of bleeding's severity and frequency. Our patient underwent early prophylaxis with a 30 μg/kg of rFVIIa a week schedule. Unfortunately, prophylaxis hasen't been successful to prevent further bleedings. The evolution was marked by occurrence of several gastrointestinal and cerebral bleeding, then death by a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 6 months. Congenital Factor VII deficiency is a rare cause of bleeding disorder, which should be suspected in a healthy bleeding child presenting in infancy when platelets and aPTT is normal with a deranged PT.

Authors: Wu Ching-Hsuan
Published: November 2023

This study adopted a participant observation method and reflected on planning and operating a nine-week nine-credit Taiwanese culture and Mandarin study abroad program. The program ran successfully in the face of surging COVID-19 cases in Kaohsiung and increased political tension associated with Nancy Pelosi’s visit in Taiwan during the summer of 2022. This program resulted from a new international partnership between West Virginia University (WVU) in the United States and National Sun Yat-Sen University in Taiwan (NSYSU) through the Taiwan’s Huayu Bilingual Exchanges of Selected Talent (BEST) initiative funded by Taiwan’s Ministry of Education in 2021. This paper discusses how the administrative and pedagogical collaboration between WVU and NSYSU has made the study abroad programs affordable and accessible for students and productive for WVU student and faculty participants alike. The primary objective of the paper is twofold. First, the faculty lead’s experience is shared to offer insights for higher education institutions in the U.S. and Taiwan interested in taking part in BEST or other grant-funded programs as they evaluate their options for developing study abroad programs. Second, administrators and faculty who have completed their study abroad programs can reflect on the feedback from both students and the faculty lead in the study as they assess their programs.

Labor problems that are still in the spotlight occur due to lack of attention to ensuring safety, health, and reproductive rights for female workers. One of the factors causing problems in the field of labor is unilateral termination of employment (PHK) unilaterally carried out by the employer company against pregnant workers. Pregnant workers as workers in companies still often receive discriminatory treatment by companies, this causes the non-achievement of pregnant workers' rights such as protection of safety, health and reproductive rights of female workers are not given completely. The implementation in general is partly appropriate, such as social security in general has been given to female workers, but there are some that are not yet appropriate, for example, menstrual leave, maternity leave. The obstacles faced in the implementation of protection of the safety, health, and reproductive rights of pregnant workers from the government are weak supervision from employers who often violate regulations for the benefit of the employers themselves.

The background that drives this research is the low learning outcomes of class V students. This is because teachers have not used STEM learning models which can improve learning outcomes. The problem in this research is whether the STEM model has an effect on student learning outcomes in Theme 6 subtheme 1 temperature and heat material for class V SD Negeri 1 Batursari? The aim achieved in this research is to determine the influence of the STEM model to improve student learning outcomes in learning theme 6 subtheme 1 at SD N 1 Batursari. This type of research is quantitative research using Pre Experimental design in the form of One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The population of this study were all fifth grade students at SD Negeri 1 Batursari. The sample taken was 30 students, using saturated sampling technique. The data in this research was obtained through observation, interviews, tests and documentation. The data analysis technique used in the initial analysis was the normality test. The final analysis uses the normality test, hypothesis test, and learning completeness test. The average learning outcomes of students who showed learning without using the STEM learning model (pretest) was 48.6%. Meanwhile, the average learning outcomes of students after being treated (posttest) using the STEM learning model was 80.0%. This is reinforced by the results of the t test calculation. It can be concluded that the t test on the pretest and posttest results produces a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, so H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted or it can be said that the STEM learning model has an effect on improving the learning outcomes of class V theme 6 students. subtheme 1 at SD N 1 Batursari.

This article explores the relationship between philosophy of science and physics learning. In line with the times, human life is experiencing very fast dynamics, so science is also experiencing development. The progress of time and technology is none other than due to the existence of science and the influence of scientific philosophy in human life. The history of physics and the philosophy of science are interdependent, meaning that philosophy can be truly understood if the reflection on the history of science has been previously understood. The aim of this research is to find out the philosophy of science as a perspective on physics learning as well as the relationship between the history of the philosophy of science. By teaching the history of physics, educators can provide information about how a physics concept was discovered. This type of research includes library research, namely research carried out in libraries and using reading materials in the form of books, journals and magazines. Revising thephilosophy of science based on ontology, epistemology and axiology as a basis for developing physics education can make a positive contribution to physics education. In addition, understanding the philosophy of science can encourage students' social interaction to solve problems.
Sédation et Analgésie en unités de réanimation et soins critiques pédiatriques
Authors: Soreze Yohan
Published: November 2023

Pendant leur séjour en réanimation, les patients pédiatriques sont exposés à des soins potentiellement sources de douleur, de stress et d’inconfort nécessitant souvent l’utilisation de molécules spécifiques.

Une prise en charge insuffisante de la douleur et de l’inconfort de ces patients peut avoir des conséquences physiologiques à court terme, et des effets sur le plan neuro-développemental à plus long terme.

A l’inverse, un excès de sédation et d’analgésie peut induire des effets indésirables immédiats, mais aussi être à l’origine d’un allongement de la durée de ventilation mécanique et de la durée d’hospitalisation en réanimation.

L’optimisation du niveau de sédation et d’analgésie est un véritable challenge, c’est pour cela que des outils d’évaluation adaptés à cette population ont été développés et doivent être régulièrement utilisés, lors de la mise en route d’un traitement mais aussi tout au long du séjour.

Afin d’améliorer la prise en charge des patients, plusieurs stratégies sont en cours de développement, notamment la minimisation des doses de molécules utilisées, l’approche multimodale et la mise en place de protocoles de gestion de la sédation et de l’analgésie par les IDE. Le délirium et le syndrome de sevrage auxquels sont exposés les patients doivent être activement recherchés et traités.
Jamaican Folk Medicine
Authors: Payne-Jackson Arvilla , Alleyne Mervyn C.
Published: November 2023

This pioneering work is multi-disciplinary in approach as it examines the rich folk medicine of Jamaica. Payne-Jackson and Alleyne analyse the historical and linguistic aspects of folk medicine, based on their research, which included extensive fieldwork and interviews. They explore the sociological and ethnological dimensions of common healing and health-preserving practices which rely on Jamaica’s rich biodiversity in medicinal and nutritional flora. As is the case with other aspects of Jamaican traditional culture, Jamaican folk medicine is largely misunderstood and subject to negative pejorative attitudes. This comprehensively study challenges some of the myths and misinformation. Particular attention is paid to cultural transference from Africa and the use of herbs in African-Jamaican religions. The work has an appendix and a glossary as well as a detailed bibliography.
Jamaican Food
Authors: Higman B.W.
Published: November 2023

The historical study of food and the anthropology of food are recent and growing fields of scholarly inquiry. An understanding of these aspects of life can reveal much about a culture’s crop production, economy, preparation methods, festivals, foodways, history, and environmental care and degradation. This beautifully illustrated book by one of the Caribbean’s pre-eminent historians, B.W. Higman, sheds new light on food and cultural practices in Jamaica from the time of the earliest Taino inhabitants through the introduction of different foodways by enslaved peoples, to creole adaptations to the fast-food phenomena of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The author examines the shift in Jamaican food practices over time, from the Tainos’ use of bitter cassava to the Maroons’ introduction of jerk pork, and the population’s love affair with the fruits of the island such as pawpaw, guava, star apple, and avocado pear. In this accessible study, Higman traces how endemic animals, delicacies such as the turtle, ringtail pigeon, black land crab and mountain mullet, barely retained their popular status into the early twentieth century and are now almost completely forgotten, their populations dramatically depleted, often endangered. The two main sections of the book deal separately with plants and animals. Plants are grouped together according to the parts of them used as food: roots, stalks and leaves, fruits and seeds. Generally, all aspects of a particular plant have been discussed together and the plant as a whole has been located in its dominant use. Animals are treated in the same way, putting all of their uses in a single place but grouped into biological families.

Öğrencilerin kendilerini okullarının bir üyesi olarak kabul etmesi şeklinde tanımlanan okul aidiyeti duygusu; akademik motivasyon; sosyal-duygusal ve bedensel sağlık; davranış ve hatta gelecek yaşamı etkileyecek bir güce sahiptir. Alanyazında okul aidiyeti duygusu hakkında pek çok çalışma yapılmasına karşın fiziksel çevre bağlamında araştırmaların yetersiz kaldığı görülmüştür. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı; okul aidiyeti duygusunun gelişmesini sağlayan sosyalleşme davranışının fiziksel çevreyle etkileşiminden hareketle okul sirkülasyon alanlarının sosyalleşme bağlamında eksikliklerini ve olası potansiyellerini sorgulamaktır. Trabzon ilinde 3 okulda 8. sınıf öğrencileri ile yürütülen çalışma; kullanıcıların sirkülasyon alanlarında sosyalleşme davranışlarının gözlemlenmesi ve “Sosyalleşme Mekânları Memnuniyet ve Beklenti Anketi” nin uygulanmasından oluşmaktadır. Çalışmanın sonucunda; sirkülasyon alanlarının geleneksel biçimde kurgulanmış olsa da doğal aydınlatmadan faydalanması, ısıl konforu karşılaması, sayı ve nitelik bakımından yetersiz olsa da birtakım donatıları barındırması sosyalleşme amaçlı kullanımını sağladığı, ancak nitelikli bir sosyalleşme için yetersiz kaldığı belirlenmiştir. Sirkülasyon alanları işlev, organizasyon, erişim, esneklik, biçim, estetik, boyut, aydınlatma, fiziksel konfor, evrensel tasarım, güvenlik, algı gibi unsurların dikkate alınarak tasarlanmalıdır. Etkinlik ve eylem alanlarının (oturma, çalışma, sergileme, oyun gibi) düzenlenmesi ve kullanıcıların taleplerinin/ ihtiyaçlarının dikkate alınması durumunda sosyalleşme davranışının kazanılması ve geliştirilmesi sağlanabilecektir. Bu durumun ise okul aidiyeti duygusunun yerleşmesine katkı sağlayabileceği görülmüştür.
Opioid-Free Anesthesia (OFA) as a Safe Anesthetic Choice for Epilepsy Patient
Authors: Walujo Albertus Medianto , Dewa Ayu Mas Shintya Dewi  , FX. Adinda Putra Pradhana
Published: November 2023

Background: The opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) approach, although not widely employed in anesthesia, offers distinct benefits for some populations, such as epilepsy patients, due to the propensity of opioids to trigger seizures. Hence, the objective of this study was to conduct an opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) procedure on the left lateral rhinotomy in a patient with concurrent epilepsy.

Case presentation: Our patient is a 59-year-old woman suffering from epilepsy with a left nasal cavity tumor, scheduled for a left midfacial degloving rhinotomy. Given the patient's epilepsy comorbid, we have opted for an opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) procedure. OFA procedures are not yet widely employed in anesthesia; however, they offer advantages for specific patient populations, including epilepsy patients, as opioids have the potential to induce seizures.

Conclusion: The various OFA protocols being conducted worldwide require refinement, and the potential interactions of each component should be explored further.

Published: November 2023

Performance appraisal is critical for evaluating teachers' job performance and providing feedback. This study explores the frequency and effectiveness of teacher performance appraisals in relation to teacher progression in secondary schools in Bomet County, Kenya. The research involved 423 participants, including teachers, principals, and education authorities. Random sampling was employed to select teachers in the different sub-county. School principals, TSC County, and Sub-County directors were proposed, selected, and interviewed during the study. Questionnaires were used to collect data from teachers. The study revealed that regular performance appraisals allow teachers to enhance their teaching skills and monitor their progress. Most respondents (67.54%) reported being appraised more than three times, emphasizing the importance of frequent assessments for professional development. Teachers informed in advance of their appraisals (88.39%) reported better preparation, leading to improved student outcomes. Performance appraisals were seen as a means to enhance professional progress, with 84.31% of teachers reporting an improvement in their career development. Most teachers (67.83%) also received feedback after appraisals, contributing to their professional growth. The study highlights the significance of regular, well-informed, and feedback-rich performance appraisals in improving teacher progression. It underscores the need for educators and education authorities to maintain a structured appraisal process to support teachers in their professional development and enhance student achievement
TCHAIKOVSKY’S “THE QUEEN OF SPADES” AS A LINGUISTIC CODE OF THE RUSSIAN SYMBOLISTS (BASED ON A. BELY’S MEMOIRS)
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Kuzmina Y. A.
Published: November 2023

The article considers the language code, which was constructed by the Younger generation of Russian Symbolists under the influence of Tchaikovsky’s opera “The Queen of Spades”. The author discovers and reveals the mechanisms which allow one to evaluate the surrounding reality through the use of images borrowed from the structure of the musical text. The material illustrating the phenomenon is the memoirs encoded in the language of “The Queen of Spades” from the memoirs of A. Bely. In them Tomsky’s opera ballad, the pastorale “The Shepherdess’s Sincerity”, the romance “It is already Evening”, the aria “And on rainy days they gathered” and the image of old countess perform the function of signifiers. The signified are disclosed with the help of structural-semiotic method. It is proved that references to the elements of the opera encode A. Bely’s reflection on the summer events of 1905 and the situation of A. G. Kovalenskaya. The novelty of the research is a significant expansion of the zone of influence of Tchaikovsky’s work on the Younger generation of Russian Symbolists.

A narrativa fantástica dos Carvalhal: aproximações literárias entre “A casa negra’’ e “Os canibais’’, apagamentos e ressoamentos
Authors: Gonçalves Mayara , Fernandes Martini Elisabeth
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo tem como objetivo realizar uma análise comparada entre os contos “A casa negra”, de Efigênia do Carvalhal, e “Os canibais”, de Álvaro do Carvalhal, buscando identificar as estratégias utilizadas pelos dois primos no fazer literário, as convergências e as singularidades. Além disso, também buscaremos provocar indagações sobre os motivos que levaram à desvalorização da obra e subsequente apagamento de Efigênia enquanto escritora, ao passo que Álvaro do Carvalhal se tornou um autor prestigiado, ressoando, sobretudo, com a obra “Os canibais” até os dias atuais, sendo recorte de estudo no que concerne à inovação formal e temática na literatura portuguesa oitocentista.
A modista Aurélia e a costureira Virgínia: o trabalho feminino no conto “Batalhas da vida (excerto de um romance inédito)”, de Guiomar Torresão
Authors: Gomes Borges Macedo Bianca
Published: November 2023

O presente trabalho é parte de uma pesquisa de mestrado em andamento. Ele tem por objetivo a discussão de algumas questões femininas que permeavam a vida das mulheres no século XIX em Portugal. Partindo da condição social feminina conservadora e patriarcal no país, da escrita e do modelo de trajetória de vida da escritora portuguesa Guiomar Torresão (1844-1898), defensora da emancipação feminina, analisamos as personagens Aurélia e Virgínia do conto “Batalhas da vida (excerto de um romance inédito)”, publicado no volume As Batalhas da Vida em 1892. Os ofícios de modista e costureira destas personagens femininas serão pontos norteadores para a nossa busca em entender quem eram as mulheres “com uma agulha entre os dedos” (Perrot, 2007) e discutir a moda, importante nas movimentações culturais, sociais e políticas do momento, sob o viés da história social do trabalho e do gênero. A partir dos pressupostos teóricos de Irene Vaquinhas (2011), Michelle Perrot (1988 e 2007) e Pierre Bourdieu (2014), desenvolvemos uma reflexão a respeito da história das mulheres, da divisão entre os sexos, do patriarcado e do trabalho para as mulheres no grande século da moda. O teórico Marshall Berman (2007) nos conduzirá no pensamento acerca da modernidade e do comportamento da sociedade burguesa no período.

The objective of this work was to observe the performance of creole genotypes of common bean and the limiting phytosanitary factors in three growing seasons in the organic system. Three trials were carried out, with plantations in October 2017, January 2018 and May 2018. A random experimental block design was used, consisting of 4 replicates and 10 treatments (commercial: BRS Esplendor (preto) and BRS Estilo (carioca), and the creoles: Amarelinho, Bolinha Vermelho, Cavalo Bolinha, Mouro, Paquinho, Palhacinho, Preto Jacaré and Roxão). The number of chrysomelidae damaged plants, whitefly nymph incidence, incidence of Bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV), thrips and heteropteran incidence were quantified. Besides, the grain mass and quality of grains (yield, normal grains, spotted grains and chocho grains) were measured. The first season of growing had the highest heteropteran incidence; BGMV was observed only on second season. Third season of sowing produced highest yield and lower insect incidence. Insect incidence varied between the genotypes at all data of sowing, with minor differences between the creoles and commercial materials. BGMV in second season prevented bean production in all genotypes.

Lendy, Lobengula, and London: The 1893 Anglo-Ndebele War Revisited
Authors: Phimister Ian
Published: November 2023

In October and November 1893, Ndebele warriors of Lobengula Khumalo’s Matabeleland kingdom in the western third of what is now Zimbabwe were defeated by troopers of Cecil Rhodes’s British South Africa Company. Framed by the context of what Friedrich Engels understood to be the driving force behind colonization, ‘today this is purely a subsidiary of the stock exchange … Africa leased directly to companies … and Mashonaland … seized by Rhodes for the stock exchange’, but refracted through local, regional, and international issues, the first section covers the period 1888 to 1892. It focuses on the ownership of the concession extracted by Rhodes’s emissaries, the amalgamation in London of competing financial interests, and the local dynamics of the Ndebele state. The second part looks at the reasons why Rhodes was persuaded that war would solve the chartered company’s problems. The conclusion points to the global reach of late nineteenth-century financial capitalism.
