Apropriação, Corpos e Homossociabilidade no Último Vagão do Metrô da Cidade do México
Authors: Elizalde Andrés Alvarez
Published: January 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é descrever como alguns homens se apropriam do último vagão do metrô da Cidade do México, como os corpos se posicionam e quais práticas homoeróticas são realizadas. Com um registro etnográfico composto por observação, fotografia e documentação de fontes, bem como o suporte de conceitos sociológicos, pretendo mostrar como a interação social é construída em quatro estações (Hidalgo, Chabacano, Centro Médico e Insurgentes). A hipótese é que a apropriação do espaço responde a várias questões sociais: a identificação com o grupo, as práticas sexuais realizadas, a emoção e o desejo do encontro, e a escassez de espaços para a comunidade gay na cidade. A apropriação e a interação deram origem à criação do verbo "metrear" e a certas táticas de encontro em um espaço reduzido, mas altamente dinâmico.
The prevalence of Constituent Year effect in Youth Olympic Games: implications for talent identification and development in basketball
Authors: Cular Drazen , Miletic Alen , Babic Matej
Published: January 2024

Purpose: The Relative Age Effect (RAE) and Constituent Year Effect (CYE) is increasingly recognized as a significant concern in youth sports, especially in basketball where physical traits such as height, arm span, and leg length are emphasized. This
focus often eclipses the critical role of age-related variations in talent scouting processes. This study aims to explore the presence and impact of CYE in basketball, with a specific focus on the Youth Olympic Games (YOG). Methods: Utilizing statistical analysis, primarily the Chi-square test and Cramer's V, this research examines the occurrence of CYE among basketball players at the YOG. Results: The findings decisively confirm the existence of CYE in youth basketball (P= .000, χ2= 51.593, df= 2, Cramer's V=
.403). Results of male (χ2 = 29.342, Cramer's V: .431) and female χ2 =23.43, Cramer's V: .383) also subsample suggest a significant skew in player selection based on birth year, with a large effect size in both cases. A notable discovery is the disproportionate number of athletes born in 2000, who are 19 times more common than those born in 2002, indicating a significant age-related skew in player selection. This indicates a strong association between birth year and player selection in the context of the YOG for both genders. Conclusions: CYE's prevalence in youth basketball could detrimentally impact athletes' development and teams' overall performance. The research emphasizes the need for a more equitable and balanced approach in athlete selection. The paper proposes practical steps to reduce CYE in basketball, such as narrowing age categories or establishing smaller, more precise age groups to ensure fairer competition and more accurate talent identification.

Published: January 2024

Aim: This prospective randomized clinical trial aimed at analyzing the skeletal effects of this modified acrylic splint palatal expander (MASPE) used for maxillary transversal deficiency treatment in mixed dentition. Methods: Eligibility criteria included maxillary transverse deficiencies in children between 7 and 10 years of age. Eighteen individuals who met the inclusion criteria and reached the end of treatment were evaluated (mean age of 8.66 years old) and randomly assigned to be submitted to rapid maxillary expansion with either the MASPE experimental device or a well-known tooth-borne expander (control group). CBCT scans taken before expansion and at the end of the retention period were evaluated. The palatal area was calculated, and the length of expansion was measured. Treatment changes were analyzed using paired t-tests, whereas independent t-tests were used to compare the two groups. Results: There were statistically significant (p<0.05) increases in maxillary width at the suture level in both groups, with a substantial increase in the palatal area. The group differences were not significant. Conclusions: MASPE showed good efficiency and skeletal effects but no superiority over the control group. Keywords: Maxillary expansion; Mixed Dentition; Orthodontics; Orthopedics

Published: January 2024

The present study investigated the antioxidant effect of ethanol extract of Cucumis sativus on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat liver. Adult male Wistar albino rats (n = 25, mean weight = 215 ± 15 g) were randomly assigned to five groups of 5 rats each: normal control, diabetic control, metformin, 200 mg/kg body weight (bwt) extract and 300 mg/kg bwt extract groups. Diabetes mellitus was induced in the rats via intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg bwt STZ. The diabetic rats were then treated for 21 days with either metformin (50 mg/kg bwt) or the extract at doses of 200 and 300 mg/kg bwt, respectively. Activities of antioxidant enzymes such as catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR) as well as antioxidant molecules like retinoic acid, ascorbic acid and α-tocopherol were evaluated in liver homogenate. The results showed that induction of diabetes mellitus with STZ significantly increased the fasting blood glucose (FBG) concentrations of the rats (p < 0.05). However, treatment of the diabetic rats with the extract markedly reduced the FBG concentration and body weights of rats (p < 0.05). Treatment of diabetic Wistar rats with ethanol extract of C. sativus significantly increased activities of the antioxidant enzymes and molecules as well as concentrations of nitric oxide (NO), but it markedly reduced the concentrations of hepatic total protein (TP) and malondialdehyde (MDA) (p < 0.05). These results suggest that ethanol extract of the medicinal plant can enhance antioxidant defense in the liver of STZ-induced diabetic rats.
Oral Ketorolac for Renal Colic in Outpatient Settings
Authors: Lachance Chantelle C. , Mahood Quenby
Published: January 2024

What Is the Issue?

Renal colic is a common problem that is primarily caused by kidney stones. Renal colic, specifically kidney stones, can be a recurrent condition that can negatively impact a person’s quality of life and health system utilization.

Ketorolac through IV or intramuscular routes is a common nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in hospital to treat renal colic. Oral ketorolac for the management of renal colic may reduce patients’ need for opioids after discharge but it is unclear if it is clinically effective when compared to alternative analgesics or whether it is recommended for use in the management of people with renal colic.

What Did We Do?

To inform decisions about oral ketorolac for the management of outpatients with renal colic, we sought to identify and summarize literature comparing the clinical effectiveness of oral ketorolac and alternative analgesics. We also searched for evidence-based guidelines that provide recommendations about the use of oral ketorolac for the management of people with renal colic.

A research information specialist conducted literature searches of peer-reviewed and grey literature sources published between January 1, 2013, and December 4, 2023. The search was limited to English-language documents. One reviewer screened articles for inclusion based on predefined criteria.

What Did We Find?

The tailored search for this rapid review did not find any studies evaluating the clinical effectiveness of oral ketorolac versus alternative analgesics for the management of people with renal colic in outpatient settings that met our criteria for this review. There is therefore no specific evidence available on the efficacy oral ketorolac in the management of renal colic in the community setting in this review.

We did not find any eligible evidence-based guidelines concerning the use of oral ketorolac for the management of people with renal colic in outpatient settings. NSAIDs have been generally mentioned as an option for renal colic in the available guidance.

Research regarding ketorolac for renal colic published since 2013 has focused on IV or intramuscular administration. Research regarding oral ketorolac focused on indications other than renal colic (e.g., postoperative pain) may be of interest; these are listed in the appendix. These studies suggest the effectiveness of ketorolac for pain management for other indications, such as pain management following endoscopy.

What Does It Mean?

Without comparative evidence, decision-makers may want to consider how oral ketorolac is used for related indications (e.g., procedures for removing kidney stones, ureteroscopies) to examine how it performed compared with alternative analgesics.

Research focused on the management of renal colic is needed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of oral ketorolac and inform guidance concerning oral ketorolac in outpatient settings.
Endobronchial Valves for the Management of Severe Emphysema
Authors: Darvesh Nazia , Hao Qiukui , Horton Jennie
Published: January 2024

What Is the Issue?

People with severe emphysema who do not experience relief with non-invasive therapies such as medication, physical activity, and smoking cessation may need advanced treatments.

Endobronchial valves are an alternative therapy that may improve exercise capacity and quality of life, and are less invasive compared to lung reduction surgery or transplants.

What Did We Do?

A 2019 CADTH report summarized clinical effectiveness evidence for valves compared to standard care. CADTH sought to update this evidence with new clinical research and include information on cost-effectiveness, which was not part of the previous report.

A research information specialist conducted a literature search of the peer-reviewed and grey literature with a search strategy focused on emphysema and endobronchial valves. The search was limited to English-language documents published since 2018. One reviewer screened articles for inclusion based on predefined criteria, critically appraised the included studies, and narratively summarized the findings.

What Did We Find?

We did not find systematic reviews or health technology assessments published since 2018 that contained clinical evidence not already captured in the 2019 CADTH report. Two RCTs provide updated clinical evidence for endobronchial valves compared to standard care, and 1 RCT contains evidence on valves compared to lung surgery.

The evidence suggests that valves may improve lung function, breathing ability, and physical activity in middle-aged and older adults with emphysema compared to standard care; the effect on quality of life and safety is unclear. The previous CADTH report showed lung function, breathing ability, physical activity, and quality of life were favourable for valve treatment compared to standard care.

The previous CADTH report showed that valves resulted in harmful outcomes compared to standard care; however, in the current review, safety was difficult to assess due to poor reporting.

When comparing valves to lung surgery, lung surgery may improve quality of life compared to valves; other outcomes did not favour one therapy over another.

For cost-effectiveness, valves may be favourable compared to standard medical care, while their cost-effectiveness compared to lung volume reduction surgery is unclear.

One study was conducted in Canada, and no studies were conducted in children and younger adults.

What Does it Mean?

Endobronchial valves are a potential therapy for people with severe emphysema with some favourable clinical and cost outcomes, but the evidence for their safety is unclear.

Decision-makers may wish to consider the balance of favourable and harmful effects in existing evidence before more high-quality evidence in Canada, especially for safety, is available.

Probabilistic short-range forecasts of high precipitation events: optimal decision thresholds and predictability limits
Authors: Bouttier François , Marchal Hugo
Published: January 2024

Abstract. Translation of ensemble predictions into high precipitation warnings is assessed using user oriented metrics. Short range probabilistic forecasts are derived from an operational ensemble prediction system using neighbourhood post-processing and conversion into categorical predictions by decision threshold optimization. Forecast skill is modelled for two different types of users. We investigate the balance between false alarms and missed events and the implications of the scales at which forecast information is communicated. Results show that ensemble predictions objectively outperform the corresponding deterministic control forecasts at low precipitation intensities when an optimal probability threshold is used. Thresholds estimated from a short forecast archive are robust with respect to forecast range and season and can be extrapolated towards extreme values to estimate severe weather guidance. Numerical weather forecast value is found to be limited: the highest usable precipitation intensities have return periods of a few years only, with resolution limited to several tens of kilometres. Implied precipitation warnings fall short of common skill requirements for high impact weather, conﬁrming the importance of human expertise, nowcasting information and the potential of machine learning approaches. The veriﬁcation methodology presented here provides a benchmark for high precipitation forecasts, based on metrics that are relatively easy to compute and explain to non-experts.

Published: January 2024

Abstract. Foraminifera are unicellular eukaryotes known to have a shell, called test, generally made of secreted calcite (CaCO3). We report for the first time a Foraminifera having a composite calcite/opal test in the cosmopolitan and well-studied benthic species Bolivina spissa (Rotaliida), sampled from the Sagami Bay in Japan at 1410 m depth. Based on comprehensive investigations including Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), we inspect the morphology and composition of the novel opaline layer coating the inside part of the calcitic test. Using Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) and EDS analyses, we detected probable Silica Deposition Vesicles (SDVs), organelles involved in opal precipitation in other silicifying organisms, confirming that the Foraminifera themself secretes the opal layer. The layer was systematically found in all studied individuals and had no apparent sub-structure. Its thickness showed an analogous growth pattern with the calcitic shell of B. spissa, being the thickest in the oldest chamber (proloculus) and becoming thinner toward the younger chambers (apertural side). Its absence in the youngest chambers indicates that silicification occurs subsequently to calcification, probably discontinuously. We further discuss the potential function(s) of this composite test and propose that the opal layer may serve as a protection barrier against predators using either mechanical drilling or chemical etching of the calcitic test. Isotopic composition measurements performed separately on the proloculus part and the apertural side of B. spissa suggest that the presence of an opal layer may alter the calcitic isotopic signal and impact paleoenvironmental proxy using foraminifer’s tests composition. If silicification in Foraminifera was found to be more widespread than previously thought, it could possibly have important implications for foraminiferal evolution, palaeoceanographic reconstructions, and the silica cycle at global scale.
Inferring sediment-discharge event types in an alpine catchment from sub-daily time series
Authors: Skålevåg Amalie , Korup Oliver , Bronstert Axel
Published: January 2024

Abstract. Fluvial sediment dynamics in mountain rivers are changing rapidly in a degrading cryosphere, raising the potential for erosive rainfall and runoff, and detrimental effects on downstream areas. Hence, we need to understand better what characterises and drives episodic pulses of water and suspended solids in rivers. Here, we infer different types of such sediment-discharge events from 959 automatically detected events based on 16 metrics derived from 15-min time series of streamflow and suspended sediment concentrations from the Vent-Rofental in the High Ötztal Alps, Austria. We use principal component analysis to extract uncorrelated event characteristics and cluster event types with a Gaussian mixture model. We interpret thus inferred event types with catchment metrics describing antecedent conditions, hydrometeorological forcing, and catchment freezethaw state and snowcover. We find event magnitude, hysteresis, and event shape complexity to be the main factors characterising the overall event regime. The most important characteristics distinguishing the event types are suspended sediment and streamflow magnitude, and event shape complexity. Sediment-discharge hysteresis is less relevant for discerning event types. We derive four event types that we attribute to (1) compound rainfall-melt extremes, (2) glacier and seasonal snow melt, (3) freezethaw-modulated snow-melt and precipitation events, and (4) late season glacier melt. Higher magnitude glacier and snow melt events were the most frequent and contributed some 40 % to annual suspended sediment yield on average; compound rainfall-melt extremes were rarest, but contributed the second highest proportion (26 %). Our approach represents a reproducible method for objectively estimating the variety of event-scale suspended sediment dynamics in mountain rivers, which can provide insights into the contribution of different drivers to annual sediment yields in current and future regimes. Our findings highlight the importance of both meltwater and rainfall-runoff as drivers of high magnitude suspended sediment fluxes in mountain rivers.

Published: January 2024

Abstract. This paper presents a validation study of the popular aeroservoelastic code suite OpenFAST leveraging weeks of measurements obtained during normal operation of a 2.8 MW land-based wind turbine. Measured wind conditions were used to generate one-to-one turbulent flow fields (i.e., comparing simulation to measurement in 10-minute increments, or bins) through unconstrained and constrained assimilation methods using the kinematic turbulence generators TurbSim and PyConTurb. A total of 253 10-minute bins of normal turbine operation were selected for analysis, and a statistical comparison in terms of performance and loads is presented. We show that successful validation of the model is not strongly dependent on the type of inflow assimilation method used for mean quantities of interest, which have modeling errors generally within 5–10 % of the measurement. The type of inflow assimilation method does have a larger effect on the fatigue predictions for blade-root flapwise and tower-base fore-aft quantities, which surprisingly see larger errors from the assumed higher-fidelity assimilation methods. Further work including improvements to the induction modeling in OpenFAST during high shear, as well as other possible improvements to the aerodynamic, blade, and controller modeling, may offer insight on the origin of the ∼5–40 % overprediction of fatigue for these quantities.

How Does Altering the Volume-Load of Plyometric Exercises Affect the Inflammatory Response, Oxidative Stress, and Muscle Damage in Male Soccer Players?
Authors: Tian Jian , Miao Miao
Published: January 2024

Incorporating plyometric exercises (PE) into soccer players' conditioning routines is vital for boosting their performance. Nevertheless, the effects of PE sessions with diverse volume loads on inflammation, oxidative stress, and muscle damage are not yet clearly understood. This study aimed to examine the effects of altering the volume-loads of PE on indicators of oxidative muscle damage and inflammation. The study involved forty young male soccer players who were randomly assigned to three different volume-loads of PE (Low volume-load [100 jumps]: LVL, n = 10; Moderate volume-load [150 jumps]: MVL, n = 10; and High volume-load [200 jumps]: HVL, n = 10) and a control group (CON = 10). The levels of various biomarkers including delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), malondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyl (PC), leukocytes, neutrophils, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured at different time points. These measurements were taken at rest, immediately after completion of PE, and 24-, 48-, and 72-hours post-PE. The CK, LDH, DOMS, 8-OHdG, MDA, and PC levels were significantly increased (p < 0.05) after the PE protocol, reaching their peak values between 24 to 48 hours post-PE for all the volume-loaded groups. The levels of leukocytes, neutrophils, and IL-6 also increased after the PE session but returned to resting values within 24 hours post-PE. On the other hand, CRP levels increased at 24 hours post-PE for all the treatment groups (p < 0.05). The changes observed in the indicators of muscle damage and inflammation in response to different volume-loads of PE was not significant. However, the HVL and MVL indicated significant differences compared to LVL in the 8-OHdG (at 48-hour) and MDA (at 72-hour). Athletes engaging in higher volume-loads demonstrated more pronounced responses in terms of biochemical variables (specifically, LVL < MVL < HVL); however, these changes were not statistically significant (except 8-OHdG and MDA).
Values of Character Education in The Javanese-Islamic Tradition: Tingkeban
Authors: Rahmawati Zuli Dwi , Munif Muhammad
Published: January 2024

The process of Islamization in Java is carried out in a peaceful and creative way so that it can touch all levels of society. The spread of Islam is done by inserting Islamic values into the traditions of society. People's habits seem to be a tradition that must be carried out in order to bring good things in the continuation of life. One of the traditions carried out by the Javanese people, contains Islamic values, namely the seven monthly ceremony or familiarly called tingkepan/tingkeban, in general, it means salvation which is held by a pregnant person to pray for the future child he is carrying so that the birth process is safe and becomes a pious child. and sholihah. In practice, pregnant women who hold tingkeban events have to perform several rituals and prepare many dishes in the form of food, all of which have symbolic meaning. The tingkeban ritual has educational values both from a historical and social point of view, one of which is character education. The values of character education in the Islamic-Javanese tingkeban tradition come from universal noble values, namely the character of love for God and all of His creation, independence and responsibility, mutual cooperation and generosity as well as the characters of tolerance, peace and unity.
Internalization of Islamic Boarding School Life Values in Forming Multicultural Attitudes of Santri
Authors: Halim Abdul
Published: January 2024

Islamic boarding school life, with its culture and learning system, is an educational institution that is unique and different from other institutions. In the context of character education, Islamic boarding schools have an essential role in shaping the attitudes and behaviour of students. The reality of the pluralistic Indonesian nation requires students who can behave multiculturally in society. Meanwhile, Islamic boarding schools, with their deep-rooted values and learning systems, can contribute to forming students' multicultural attitudes. In this study, we discuss Islamic boarding schools' values that play a role in developing the students' multicultural attitudes. These values are the values of honesty, democracy, tolerance, equality, love of the country and respect for cultural diversity. These values form the multicultural attitudes of students by integrating these values into the learning and life of Islamic boarding schools. In the end, values integrated into students' social and education spheres can form a multicultural attitude of students by being tolerant, open, and appreciative of differences and can become role models for students with a multicultural attitude

Published: January 2024

Education began with the classical view of ancient Greek philosophy regarding logical truth, in the medieval period there was a restriction on freedom of thought by the church on the grounds that truth could not be produced by reason as happened in the ancient Greek period, after that came the modern period called the renaissance , namely the school of thought. rationalism which prioritizes reason as a source of knowledge. From knowledge that continues to develop, new ideas and knowledge emerge that make the world of education activities increasingly complex. This history-based educational theory research uses a qualitative approach with a type of bibliographic research so as to present accurate historical facts in accordance with theory from various historical experts' points of view.

Authors: Frankie Frankie , Susetyo Yeremia Alfa
Published: January 2024

The rapid growth of information technology has led to an increase in the amount of data stored in databases every day. Relational databases (SQL) that have been in use for a long time are now being developed with the emergence of NoSQL databases such as MongoDB. MongoDB stores data in BSON format and has a Text Indexes feature that is useful for speeding up text search on string content. This feature is particularly useful in searching for data in the form of texts or strings in large quantities. MongoDB's Text Indexes have a flexible schema that does not require a strict schema structure to index text data, unlike SQL databases that require columns with the appropriate data type to perform indexing. MongoDB's Text Indexes support more languages than SQL because they use an open-source text search engine called Apache Lucene. In this study, the researcher will implement Text Indexing on document data (PDF) that has been converted into text, then inserted into MongoDB before indexing. Afterward, the researcher will compare the performance of search queries between indexed and non-indexed data in MongoDB in terms of speed. The comparison results will be presented in tables and graphs to facilitate understanding. Based on the research conducted, it can be concluded that the use of the text indexing feature in MongoDB can speed up keyword or string search time. In the experiment conducted using 5000 data records, the results showed that the use of text indexing for searching 1 keyword resulted in a search speed improvement of 11705,88%, for searching 2 keywords it was 60833,33%, and for searching 3 keywords it was 44320%.

The significant growth of data poses its own challenges, both in terms of storing, managing, and analyzing the available data. Untreated and unanalyzed data can only provide limited benefits to its owner. In many cases, the data we analyze is imbalanced. An example of natural data imbalance is in detecting financial fraud, where the number of non-fraudulent transactions is usually much higher than fraudulent ones. This imbalance issue can affect the accuracy and performance of machine learning classification models. Many machine learning classification models tend to learn more general patterns in the majority class. As a result, the model may overlook patterns that exist in the minority class. Various research has been conducted to address the problem of imbalanced data. The objective of this systematic literature review is to provide the latest developments regarding the cases, methods used, and evaluation techniques in handling imbalanced data. This research successfully identifies new methods and is expected to provide more choices for researchers so that imbalanced data can be properly handled, and classification models can produce unbiased, accurate, and consistent results.

Taxis are one of the competitive sectors of transportation and are recognized as convenient and easy means of transportation to meet individual needs. However, in the operation of a taxi there are some problems that would make the taxi service less optimal, such as the difficulty with finding a taxi at specific hours, the imbalance between demand and taxi supplies, and the length of passengers waiting for a taxi. Therefore, to optimize taxi service, a knowledge base is needed for strategic management decision making. In the study, data of exploration taxis uses a DBSCAN algorithm aimed at identifying and clustering pickup hotspots based on time during weekday and weekend time from Queens, New York City. As for the features used which are pickup latitude and pickup longitude. Accuracy scores for modeling use coefficients to achieve accuracy scores of 0.80 on weekdays and 0.77 on weekends where the accuracy score falls into the accurate category in modeling. Results show that there are three areas of taxi pickup centers based on high taxi demand in January 2016, where they are at LaGuardia airport, John f. Kennedy international, and the area around Steinway Street.
