The Impact of Social Media on the Image of Female Athletes: The Case of Xiaohongshu
Authors: Lin Yufei
Published: January 2025

Other-creation refers to the general recognition of a specific image by a third party, while self-creation refers to the active creation of an ideal image by an individual. Xiaohongshu, as a social media platform showcasing the Paris Olympics, has shaped a series of female athlete images that are widely recognized by the public, though there are some differences between these two kinds of images. Based on the relevant theories of image shaping and social media, this paper selects 60 relevant posts on Xiaohongshu featuring Sun Yingsha and Zheng Qinwen, examines their main contents and thematic expressions, and analyzes various images of female athletes on the platform, thereby exploring the reasons behind the formation of image differences. The results demonstrate that the identity consists of both other-created and self-created images, and the two are mutually influential. The stronger the self-created image, the more closely the other-created image aligns with it, and the weaker the self-created image, the more it is dominated by the other-created image.

Published: January 2025

Altamira city, in the north of Brazil, is known to be a support region since the construction of the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Complex. The Xingu River permeates the city, being extremely important as a tributary of the Amazon River. Only a portion of the population is provided with basic sanitation, and alternatively use water wells and septic tanks, which can be sources of contamination. The study sought to understand the seasonal variation of fecal contamination in groundwater resources. The households were divided into six zones, from which 30 wells were sampled in the dry and wet seasons. For the Escherichia coli detection, a Compartment Bag Test (CBT) (Aquagenx®) was used, and for the Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (B. theta) detection, the microbial source tracking (MST) approach, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction assays (qPCR) were used. The presence of E. coli and B. theta was verified in all seasons. In the dry season, 63.3% of sampled wells showed E. coli contamination, and in the wet 76.6%. B. theta was detected in 43.3% of the wells in the dry season and 36.6% in the wet season. In the dry season, 26.6% of the wells presented E. coli and B. theta simultaneously, and in the wet season, 33.3%. The quantification of B. theta was lower in wet seasons, indicating that the source of contamination for both, E. coli and B. theta, may be different, also, the mechanism of reach and maintenance for E. coli in the aquifer appears to be related to runoff and percolation of contaminants from the soil surface not just associated with human fecal contamination.
Doseamento de comprimidos partidos de hidroclorotiazida para verificar a uniformidade de dose unitária
Authors: Lima Nicole Iacobacci Camargo , Martinez Renata
Published: January 2025

Uma prática comum entre a população é a partição de comprimidos, que consiste em submetê-los a uma divisão física, originando duas ou mais frações iguais, geralmente com facas ou partidores específicos. Normalmente, ela é feita com o objetivo de flexibilização de dose ou redução de custos. Dessarte, o esperado é que as partes subdivididas apresentem a mesma dosagem, que deve equivaler à metade da dosagem do comprimido inteiro. No entanto, muitas vezes, verifica-se a desigualdade entre as partes quando há divisão e a perda do produto. Assim, o presente estudo tem como objetivo avaliar se, quando um paciente parte um comprimido, ele realmente obtém metade da dose. Para isso, foi realizado o procedimento de Uniformidade de Dose Unitária, por método espectrofotométrico, conforme descrito na Farmacopeia Brasileira (6ª edição) para comprimidos inteiros, com ajuste das diluições para meio comprimido. Foram testados comprimidos de hidroclorotiazida de 25 mg de quatro fabricantes diferentes, sendo três genéricos e um referência, para comparação dos resultados. Em suma, os experimentos demonstraram que a partição de comprimidos não é eficiente, originando duas metades com massas diferentes e, consequentemente, dosagens diferentes. Considerando que as partes obtidas não são iguais, isso pode acarretar uma sub ou sobredosagem. Entretanto, não se pode generalizar que a prática não deve ser realizada, devendo sempre analisar qual o medicamento e as vantagens e desvantagens. Para a decisão, é importante a discussão com profissionais de saúde buscando alternativas e, caso a prática se faça realmente necessária, qual a melhor forma de realizá-la.

Authors: Khator Dr , Motwani Dr
Published: January 2025

Abstract
There is a rapid technological development in today's time. Students must have high skill set like problem solving, ability to communicate with others effectively, ability to adapt to new technology quickly etc. These skills cannot be learned by traditional classroom teaching techniques. Hence effective education systems like Outcome Based Education (OBE) and competency based education (CBE) must be designed to meet these requirements.
OBE is achieved by effective implementation of Course Outcomes (COs), Program Outcomes (POS) and Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) in students learning curriculum.
Competency-based learning or curriculum primarily focuses on the student’s demonstration of their desired learning outcomes. Competencies consist of components that are trainable (knowledge, skills) and components that are more difficult to alter (attitudes, believes).
This review paper describes in detail the concept of program outcomes and competencies in health education system.

Published: January 2025

Fever is a common presenting complaint about many clinical conditions in children. Most febrile illnesses either resolve before a diagnosis can be made or may show distinguishing characteristics that lead to a diagnosis. The most difficult clinical scenario is when the fever is prolonged for more than one to two weeks. Herein we report a case of a 1-year 1month female child who presented to us with pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) in busy daily OPD, diagnosed subsequently as a perianal abscess and successfully treated. An anorectal abscess, specifically a perianal abscess, is a relatively uncommon infection in children. It is a purulent fluid collection under the soft tissue outside the anus. Some of these abscesses may spontaneously drain and heal by themselves, while others may result in sepsis and require surgical intervention as this was done in our index case.

To ascertain the efficacy of oral muscle relaxant in combination with intralesional steroid and hyaluronidase injection in the treatment of oral submucosal fibrosis
Authors: Chandra B , Arun H , Mohan G
Published: January 2025

Various management modalities have been studied for oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF), including intralesional injections of corticosteroids with hyaluronidase, placental extract, collagenase, oral antioxidants, nutritional supplements, pentoxifylline, stem cell therapy and muscle relaxants. Given the high prevalence of OSMF in India, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of combination therapy. A randomized controlled study included participants suffering from symptoms suggestive of OSMF. Group A was the control group which received intralesional triamcinolone and hyaluronidase injections while Group B was the study group which received oral muscle relaxant along with intralesional injections. Patients were assessed for burning sensation of oral cavity, trismus and clinical staging of oral mucosa at beginning of the study and at 4th and 8th week of the study. In group A, eight patients (28.6%) and 16(57.1%) patients showed complete improvement of burning sensation of oral cavity at 4th and 8th week respectively. In group B 6(23.1%) patients and 15(57.7%) patients had complete remission at 4th and 6th week respectively. The grade of trismus was reduced to 2 in 15 (53.6%) patients and to 1 in 12 (42.9%) patients in group A at 8th week. In Group B, 24 (92.3%) patients showed improvement in trismus to grade 1 and 2 (7.7%) patients had grade 2 trismus at the end of 8 weeks. In group A, the clinical staging improved to 1 in 19(67.9%) patients, to stage 2 in 3(10.7%) patients and 6(21.4%) patients showed complete remission. In group B, 14(53.8%) patients reverted to normal clinical appearance, 10(38.5%) patients to stage 1 and only 2(7.7%) patients showed no much improvement. In conclusion, addition of oral muscle relaxant with combination of intralesional steroids and hyaluronidase injection has better outcome than intralesional injections alone.

Authors: Dini Gianluca , Ceccarelli Sara , Vecchi Barbara , Celi Federica
Published: January 2025

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains the leading cause of death caused by a single infectious agent. Objective: We report a case of miliary TB in a 2-year-old child who presented with a history of constipation, weight loss, marked abdominal distension with hepatosplenomegaly. Case presentation: In children, TB often presents with a wide range of non-specific clinical and radiological manifestations, making diagnosis challenging, particularly in regions with low prevalence. We report the case of a two-year-old female with a history of constipation, weight loss, marked abdominal distension with hepatosplenomegaly, later diagnosed with miliary tuberculosis. Conclusion: This case highlights an unusual presentation of miliary TB in a very young child, a demographic in which it is infrequently observed. Miliary TB remains a severe and potentially fatal condition, particularly when diagnosis and treatment are delayed. The diagnosis is usually made based on the clinical presentation, supported by a classic miliary pattern on chest X-ray.

Background: Diabetes is not a single disease but rather, it is one aspect of metabolic syndrome. The pathologic aspects of diabetes involve cellular changes that need to be understood. Objective: The main objective of this study was to explore the role of Ki67 in the liver of diabetic rats. Methods: The study methodology involved the induction of diabetes in rats using Alloxan (120 mg/kg). A total of 20 albino rats were randomly assigned into two groups control group (N=10) and diabetes group (n=10). Diabetic group received the dose of alloxan, while the control group received similar dose of normal saline. Glucose level was monitored daily. After the end of the experiment (one -month period), all animals were terminated. Blood samples were taken to measure biochemical investigations including glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides. Liver tissue was excised and washed with normal saline and fixed in buffered formalin (10%). Liver tissue was processed and stained by hematoxylin and eosin for routine histological examination and also stained by immunohistochemistry for Ki67 biomarker. Results: The results revealed the efficacy of the diabetic model. All biochemical investigations were significantly higher in the diabetic group compared with that of control group (p<0.001). Histological studies showed the existence of morphological alterations in cells and fatty changes in the diabetic group compared with the control group. The expression of Ki67 was significantly higher in the diabetic group compared with that in the control group (p=0.011). Conclusion: Taken together, diabetes has adverse effects on the spleen from a histological point of view, and from the expression of Ki67.

This study explores the use of gamification and deep learning in higher education, examining how it might enhance student engagement, learning outcomes, and sustainability understanding. Evidence suggests that gamification tactics like points, badges, and leaderboards can make learning more engaging and entertaining while also increasing motivation and teamwork. Meanwhile, deep learning technologies enhance learning by tailoring lessons to each student's unique requirements and interests. Moreover, the study delves into how these methods might aid in the comprehension and implementation of sustainability principles, which are fundamental for solving world problems. Analyses of data obtained from 795 students showed that deep learning considerably individualizes learning and improves abilities, whereas gamification boosts engagement and motivation. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that by integrating various approaches, students can have a more comprehensive understanding of sustainability and be more motivated to incorporate sustainable activities into their everyday lives. The findings of this study show that new ways of teaching can help students succeed in school and provide them with the tools they need to build a greener world. The results of this study provide important information for schools and teachers who are trying to improve sustainability education by taking advantage of technological advancements.
Examination of AI and Conventional Teaching Approaches in Cultivating Critical Thinking Skills in High School Students
Authors: Castillo Luis
Published: January 2025

At the core of global educational transformation is artificial intelligence (AI), which promises to revolutionize teaching and learning. This is especially significant in Latin America, notably in Peru, due to the country's dedication to enhancing its educational system and fostering critical skills in students. At this conference, we present a case study comparing AI and traditional learning methods in secondary education, focusing on critical thinking development. This study examines AI's role in fostering critical thinking and evaluates its ethical and practical challenges. Critical thinking is vital in modern society, enabling individuals to analyze, evaluate, and solve problems effectively. Across Latin America, there is an effort to develop this skill from an early age. In Peru, where the educational system faces challenges like the digital divide and unequal access to quality education, developing critical thinking is crucial for preparing citizens to tackle 21st-century challenges. AI, with its ability to personalize and optimize learning, offers an opportunity to enhance education in Peru but also raises questions about its impact on critical thinking development.

Authors: Lipuma James , Leon Cristo
Published: January 2025

In an era of rapid technological advancements and complex societal challenges, the imperative for disruptive innovation has never been more acute. The International Multi-Conference on Complexity, Informatics, and Cybernetics (IMCIC) 2024 served as a confluence for thought leaders across the domains of Complexity, Informatics, and Cybernetics to explore the relationship between Transdisciplinary Communication (TDC) and disruptive innovation. This presentation highlighted that TDC's unique toolkit complements and is crucial in bridging diverse fields of study. TDC is essential for fostering innovation capable of transcending traditional boundaries and instigating profound systemic change. Drawing upon various collaborative frameworks, including collaborative, network, and cooperative models, this keynote delved into organizational, collaborative, and social innovation dynamics. It underscored the limitations of the status quo, where incremental change and reform fall short of achieving significant impact. Through a discourse about systemic innovation, the keynote discussed ways to produce desired outcomes that achieve measurable impacts with positive social change. TDC acts as a force multiplier for disruptive innovation initiatives, enabling a departure from conventional solutions and embracing holistic, system-wide transformations. The article concluded by highlighting the necessity of fostering a culture where TDC catalyzes disruptive innovation and offers a roadmap for tackling global challenges through unprecedented collaboration and creativity.
Knowledge, Learning and Transdisciplinary Communication in the Evolution of the Contemporary World
Authors: Micarelli Rita , Pizziolo Giorgio
Published: January 2025

In this paper we would like to explore the concept of transdisciplinarity in relation to the changes that have taken place in science, philosophy and the arts in the twentieth century which have influenced the individual and social behaviour of the whole of humanity. The living environments of the planet have been transformed, the multiple dynamics within the whole biosphere and biosphere and its ecosystems, stimulating their transformation through accelerated transitional phases. Today, many ecosystems and many of their transitional dynamics are in crisis, and the entire ecosystem-biosphere is in biosphere, while the evolutionary prerogatives of the living world itself are being replaced by the artificial world of the most advanced digital technologies. This impending crisis can be contained and mitigated in order to return to the living world the prerogatives that are its own and that allow it to continue and sustain the processes of evolutionary transition, escaping the power of the now dominant artificial world. In this sense, all the practices of transdisciplinary learning and communication, chorally experienced through knowledge and social participation in the transformations of anthropized environments and natural environments, constitute a stimulating reference for re-founding on concrete grounds a contemporary Ecology of the Ternary Systems Human/Society/Environment and for highlighting the problems that arise in facing the epochal crisis of our living world. All of this can be concretely evidenced by many different experiences already underway or possible in contemporary reality from which emerge both extraordinary evolutionary potentials and serious contradictions and difficulties, as we can summarise through the examples we present. Let us now begin the complex unfolding of the themes announced here in theatrical order and manner.
FROM ISOLATION TO COLLABORATION: RESEARCH ON STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE TEACHER LONELINESS IN PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS
Authors: Qi Lin
Published: January 2025

Teacher loneliness represents a complex psychological state among teachers. This paper first analyzes the causes that lead primary and secondary school teachers to feel isolated in their professional development and daily work, then discusses the negative impacts of teacher isolation on teachers' personal well-being, work performance, overall school development, and student development. To address these issues, the paper proposes a series of mitigation strategies, including improving school organizational structures to promote communication and collaboration among teachers, reducing teachers' workload to increase time for professional interaction, providing guidance from experienced teachers and peer support to enhance new teachers' sense of belonging, and encouraging teachers' active participation in school activities and professional development.
