Published: May 2024

Abstract Introduction Traffic accidents are a problem for the health system and society, evidenced by the high rates of deaths, hospitalizations and care in health services due to serious injuries and disabilities, affecting the functioning and quality of life of individuals. Objective To identify outcome measures in studies on victims of non-fatal traffic accidents, to fulfill the first step in the development of a Core Set of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) for victims of non-fatal traffic accidents. Methods A systematic review of published articles was carried out in the electronic databases PubMed/MEDLINE and SciELO, between 2011 and 2022, using terms in English. The search strategy combined terms about the consequences of traffic accidents in adults. The selection of articles was carried out by two independent reviewers, applying the eligibility criteria. Results A total of 626 studies were located in the databases, and 91 articles were included in the review. The consequences observed in the studies were injuries, fractures and trauma. When extracting outcome measures, 780 concepts were identified, linked to a total of 124 ICF categories, in the components: body function (30 categories); body structure (72 categories); activity and participation (20 categories); and environmental factors (two categories). Conclusion This systematic review revealed that the main consequences of non-fatal traffic accidents for victims are in the body structures related to the movement, mobility and stability of joints.
Marias intérpretes do Brasil: aberturas feministas ao pensamento sócio-histórico brasileiro nos legados de Queiroz, Franco e Beatriz Nascimento
Authors: Bonadio Mariana Galacini
Published: May 2024

Resumo À luz da crítica feminista à ciência, o artigo se volta à uma reflexão sobre as interpretações do Brasil, apreendida como o campo de construção do pensamento sócio-histórico brasileiro, a partir dos legados das Marias Isaura Pereira de Queiroz, Sylvia de Carvalho Franco e Beatriz Nascimento. Ao utilizar-me de Florestan Fernandes como índice argumentativo, proponho duas aberturas feministas na produção do conhecimento sociológico: a abertura sociobiográfica das Marias problematiza a constituição da autoridade e legitimidade intelectual por relações de poder androcêntricas e racistas que configuram o espaço acadêmico das ciências sociais brasileira; a abertura epistemológica expõe algumas proposições das Marias de encontro ao cânone. Em veia comum, as proposições desestabilizam a abordagem dualista da formação nacional pautada por oposições dicotômicas entre tradição/atraso e modernidade, conduzindo a outras perspectivas sobre a transformação social.
Genocídio da juventude negra: notas sob a concepção da sociologia da ação disposicional
Authors: Costa-Júnior Jair
Published: May 2024

Resumo Reconhecendo a modernidade/colonialismo como um fenômeno que mobilizou o significante racial como pressupostos balizadores para as formas de dominação, este artigo intenta uma compreensão teórica sobre o genocídio da juventude negra à luz da sociologia da ação disposicional, onde se localiza sua originalidade, uma vez que as pesquisas no campo da segurança pública tendem a abordagens inseridas ou espelhadas na teoria da escolha racional e modelos analíticos afeitos ao “economicismo”. A partir de conceitos balizadores, como habitus, campo e capital, propõe-se um modelo analítico que evidencie a organicidade do que chamamos de “capital racial”, um mecanismo analítico disposicional revelador daqueles aspectos fundamentais na conformação da sociedade brasileira, um recurso social que passa a disponibilizar certo quantum de controle nas ações e nas estruturas compartilhadas e que atua como regente da exploração da população negra e do genocídio agenciado pelo Estado. Como projeto em andamento, pretende apontar caminhos para a pesquisa aplicada e teórica, no campo das políticas públicas relativas à segurança, à violência e às desigualdades.
Analysis of the Deviant Usage of Criticism in Discourse Innovations of Cancel Culture and Woke Culture
Authors: Barebina Natalya , Kostyushkina Galina
Published: May 2024

The research analyzed the deviant usage of critique in discourse innovations in the form of cancel culture and woke culture. These innovations represent modern ways of criticism, which rapid spread is due to network communication. The basis for classifying these types of criticism as deviant usage is the destruction of the locus of critical rationality. The problem is that the heuristic ideal of critique may be changed significantly due to the legitimation of non-standard forms of criticism. The authors identified several clusters of the normative ideal of critical activity in the form of negative assessment, logic, social constructivism, in which the category of rationality is considered. This category allows us to analyze the discourse practice of critique regarding the correspondence theory of truth using linguo-argumentative method of analysis. While using these strategies the authors came to the following conclusions. The verbalization of cancel culture represents a reactive action of critique that implements polemical negation. Criticism in woke culture reveals signs of descriptive negation. The deviant usage of critique as reasoning in the innovations under discussion is represented by errors in argumentation, factoid nature of discourse, and a mixture of stylistic modes belonging to discourses of varying degrees of institutionalization, which constitute aberrations of the rational standard of criticism.

Published: May 2024

Background: Inadequate pain relief after caesarean section is a common problem in every part of the world. Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block provides adequate post-operative pain relief following abdominal surgeries. TAP block duration is limited to effect of administered local anesthetics. Hence, adjuvant medications are added to local anaesthetic (LA) to prolong the effect of TAP block. The primay objective of this study was to analyse the analgesic effect of dexamethasone added to levobupivacaine in comparison with analgesic effect of levobupivacaine alone in TAP block. The secondary objectives are to analyse the number of supplemental analgesic requirements in the first 24 hrs after surgery and to analyse the duration of postoperative analgesia which is time to first analgesic request from the time of TAP block. Methods: 116 women scheduled for lower segment cesarean section (LSCS), belonging to ASA physical status 2 or 3, aged between 18 and 35 years, under SAB were recruited. Ultrasonogram (USG) guided TAP block was performed on each side after the completion of the surgery. Subjects in group L (n = 58) received TAP block on each side with 20 ml of 0.375% levobupivacaine and group LD (n = 58) with 19 ml of 0.375% levobupivacaine + 1ml (4mg) of dexamethasone. They were evaluated for pain at 10min, 30min, 45min, 1hour, 2hrs, 4hrs, 8hrs, 12hrs and 24hrs after the block using visual analog scale (VAS) score. Duration of postoperative analgesia and requirement of rescue analgesia were also analysed. Results: The post-operative visual analogue scale (VAS) scores were lower in group LD at 8, 12 and 24 hrs (p < 0.05). Mean duration of analgesia was significantly prolonged in group LD with lesser requirement of rescue analgesics (p < 0.05) up to 24 hrs. Conclusion: Dexamethasone (4 mg) as an adjuvant to levobupivacaine in USG guided TAP block reduces post-operative pain scores prolongs the duration of analgesia and decreases demands for rescue analgesics.

The retinal and cerebral microvasculature share many morphological and physiological properties, Hence, it is thought that studying these retinal vessels will provide a direct measure to evaluate the vascular and neuronal status of the brain. In the present study, we aimed to study retinal vasculature by fundus examination in persons identified to have cerebral small vessel disease on MRI brain and an attempt to correlate the retinal vascular changes with the degree of MRI brain changes. A case control study was conducted in the department of Neurology, Jubilee Mission Medical College & Research Institute. A total of 180 patients, included 90 patients for case group (Cerebral small vessel disease on MRI brain) and 90 patients for control group (no cerebral small vessel disease on MRI brain) reporting to the neurology department were included in the study. Cerebral small vessel disease was identified and classified/graded as per the modified Fazeka Scale. Ophthalmoscopic examination was done using fundus camera with the help of the ophthalmologist. Results were expressed in percentages and the data obtained was analysed using standard analytical techniques using SPSS software. Majority of cases and controls were in the age group of 61-70 years. Majority of the cases were males 55 (61.1%). Majority of the controls were females 51 (56.7%). 42 (46.7%) cases and 34 (37.8%) controls were hypertensives. Cases with CSVD had a statistically significant association with arteriolar narrowing, AV crossing changes and optic disc edema when compared to controls. Retinal vascular changes were associated with increased cerebral vascular events. These associations persist after accounting for confounding variables known to be disease causing in both circulations.

Published: May 2024

Background: Angular deformities of the knee, a common problem in the early years of life are frequently encountered in paediatric orthopaedics not only because of very high incidence of these deformities but also because of major parental concern in the present highly demanding sports oriented society. The purpose of this study was to discuss the role of 8-plate hemi-epiphysiodesis to correct angular deformities of the knee joint. Materials and methods: The study had total of 25 children with total 45 knees having varus or valgus angular deformities, of which 20 were bilateral and 5 were unilateral. All patients were symptomatic and were followed for regular intervals of 6 months to observe the change of the deformity. Results: The mean preoperative genu valgum deformity was 19.79 degrees (ranging from 13-35 degrees) and genu varum deformity was 17.29 degrees (9-25 degrees). 91.1% of the deformed knees were corrected fully at the mean final follow up period of 27 months, neutralizing the mechanical axis and correction of the deformity. Conclusions: 8-plate is technically simple and potent tool to correct genu valgum and varus deformities around knee in children without need for osteotomies in many children. Based on the low complication rate, patient acceptance, and the rapidity of improvement, this technique should be used as treatment of choice.

Authors: Yazgan Ayşe Müge , Özgen Ebru
Published: May 2024

Isolated life emerged at a time when society was not ready during the 2020 pandemic (Covid-19) period. During this period, the structure of society, which has undergone significant social changes, has been transformed. It has been vital to adapt rapidly to the social isolation and distance from outside life within this new social structure. Digital technology is also a factor that changed the lives of students at school. The scope of this research includes 3rd-grade students in primary schools in three major cities of Türkiye: İstanbul, Ankara, and İzmir. This research aims to gather information about the social changes and social anxiety of the students during social isolation by analyzing the responses to scale questions used as a data collection tool, under the observation of parents and classroom teachers. The research design incorporates both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The data collection tools used in this study are the Social- Emotional and Character Development Scale in the survey research, the Social Anxiety Scale for Children, and a personal information form prepared by the researchers. Results are augmented with semi-structured interviews. Data analysis is conducted using the SPSS 22.0 statistical software package. The results obtained indicate that students experience social anxiety as a result of isolation. It is observed that during the Covid-19 pandemic period, social isolation affected 1st-grade students in the 2020-2021 academic year. The findings suggest that as the level of social anxiety and social change increase, there is a decrease in social, emotional, and moral development.

(Di)Simulation of the Bestiary Genre in Animalia exstinta by Esteban Seimandi, Hugo Horita, and Juan Cruz Bazterrica
Authors: Cruz Ailén
Published: May 2024

This article explores one of the latest branches in the evolution of the bestiary genre in contemporary Hispanic literature, (di)simulating bestiaries. The bestiary, a literary genre that proliferated during the medieval period, drew attention with its illustrations and illuminations, as well as the allegories it featured, fulfilling a didactic, Christian function. Although new Hispanic bestiaries published in the past two decades respect the form of the bestiary, that is to say, the presentation of the message with a title, image, and short text, they also offer increasingly creative interpretations that play with the content of the genre. This article explores a subcategory of bestiaries, which through their content pose as other genres for ludic literary purposes. The present study focuses on Animalia exstinta, written by Esteban Seimandi, illustrated by Hugo Horita, and designed by Juan Cruz Bazterrica. Using Jean Baudrillard’s concepts of simulacra and simulation, as well as surface and symptomatic reading, the article analyzes how Animalia exstinta simulates an environmental manifesto from fragments of contemporary Argentine culture and nostalgia.
Breaking with the Past: The Renegotiation of Emilia Pardo Bazán’s Legacy and Gonzalo Suárez’s Los pazos de Ulloa
Authors: Miller Gabrielle
Published: May 2024

This essay argues that Gonzalo Suárez’s Los pazos de Ulloa (RTVE 1985) emerges against Francoist narratives that presented Emilia Pardo Bazán and her works in a rather positive (if distorted) light. Through close readings of the gothic and anticlerical passages present in the film, I show how Suárez’s miniseries constructs a new legacy for Pardo Bazán, one that breaks with her favorable reputation during the dictatorship, establishes her relevance in Spain’s secular, newly democratic state, and justifies her privileged place in Spain’s post-Franco canon.
Walking on the Wild Side: Indigeneity, Passion, and Nation in Guillermo Saccomanno’s La lengua del malón
Authors: Tokarz Wojciech
Published: May 2024

Although the historical novel produced in Argentina after the fall of the last dictatorship has been characterized by the principle of inclusion, the representation of Indigenous peoples in the re-imagining of national narratives has contributed, ironically, to their marginalization. This article focuses on the ways La lengua del malón (2003) by Guillermo Saccomanno engages critically with national narratives from a peripheral position in order to escape the genre’s colonial limitations and proposes narrative strategies that allow the author not only to recognize the country’s Indigenous heritage, but also to acknowledge the continuous presence of Indigeneity in contemporary Argentinean culture.

Authors: Putra Ida B. A. W. , Putra I. Wayan A. , Aryana Made B. D. , Winata I. Gde S.
Published: May 2024

Background: More than 70% of maternal deaths are caused by preeclampsia and eclampsia. This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of pregnant women with preeclampsia in the obstetrics emergency room of Prof. Dr. I. Gusti Ngoerah Gede (I.G.N.G.) Ngoerah General Hospital, Denpasar, in 2022.
Methods: This study was conducted with a high level of thoroughness and detail. Data obtained include age data, gestational age, parity, employment, education, history of hypertension, history of pregnancy with preeclampsia before, blood pressure measurement results, body mass index (BMI), laboratory examination results, NST picture, complications, mode of delivery, APGAR, and birth weight. The collected data was meticulously tabulated, analyzed, and presented as tables and narratives.
Results: The findings of this study are significant for the field of obstetrics and gynecology. The incidence of preeclampsia in the obstetrics emergency room of Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah General Hospital reached 15.75% in 2022 with a 0% case fatality rate. The average age was 31 years. Sixty-one subjects (62.89%) were primiparous, 41 subjects (42.27%) had a history of hypertension, and 23 subjects (23.71%) had a history of pregnancy with preeclampsia. The median BMI reached 22.3 kg/m2. The mean platelet of 354 103/µl, creatinine of 0.7 mg/dl, and 93 subjects (95.88%) were positive for proteinuria. Based on the NST picture obtained, 37 (38.14%) patients had reactive non-stress test pictures. APGAR score >7 of 76 subjects (78.35%) with a median birth weight of 1,850 grams.
Conclusions: This study is expected to be a reference for further research. Further research is needed to assess the relationship between demographic characteristics and the risk factors of preeclampsia.

Authors: Aggrawal Nikita , Rathore Mukesh , Kumar Rajneesh , Tutlani Aman , Kumari Smita , Pravalika Yellanki
Published: May 2024

Background: The enhancement of genetic traits in any crop relies on the existing variability within that particular crop. Through hybridization and traditional breeding methods, the variability within wheat crops has been nearly exhausted. Consequently, mutation breeding emerges as the sole viable and promising approach to introduce new variability for further improvements. Methods: An experiment was conducted during the Rabi seasons of 2020-21 (M1 generation) and 2021-22 (M2 generation) at the Crop Research Centre, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, ITM University Gwalior. The experiment assessed the impact of five different concentrations of Sodium Azide (0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04%, 0.05%, and 0.1%) and Hydroxyl Amine (0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5% and 0.6%), in addition to a control, on the wheat varieties MP-3382 and RVW-4106. It employed a randomized block design with three replications. Result: The findings revealed that Sodium Azide and Hydroxyl Amine, the most effective dosages were observed to be 0.1per cent and 0.4 per cent, respectively, in inducing genetic and phenotypic changes in seed quality parameters. Specifically, for the flag leaf area characteristic, the most effective concentrations were 0.03 per cent Sodium Azide and 0.4 percent Hydroxyl Amine. Plant height exhibited the greatest variability at 0.03 per cent Sodium Azide, 0.5 per cent Hydroxyl Amine and 0.1 percent Sodium Azide. A dosage of 0.5 per cent Hydroxyl Amine was found to be most effective in altering spike length. In terms of days to 50 per cent flowering, 0.05 per cent Sodium Azide was identified as the most effective dosage. From the study of traits in both the M1 and M2 generations, 12 mutants were confirmed, with seven validated for variety MP-3382 and five for variety RVW-4106.

Consideration of Age for Quantitative Measurements in Ecological Studies
Authors: Misra R. , Das R. R.
Published: May 2024

The physiological age of a plant or its parts is important for quantitative studies in Ecology. It is demonstrated by measurements of leaf size that the number of nodes from the apex in individuals is a good indicator of the physiological age among natural populations. Hence, it is suggested that for measurements of leaf and internode of individuals in a heterogenous population a definite size range for the uppermost or the first visible leaf or internode be fixed for counting downwards. The plastochron index be, however, used for other quantitative estimations in ecological studies.

Authors: Kachroo P. , Singh Gurcharan , Malik K. A.
Published: May 2024

The paper presents floristic and ecological study of three diverse habitats towards the north of Srinagar. 162 species of flowering plants are enumerated. Data concerning frequency and phenological pattern of the species found in these habitats reveal that short lived early flowering species are predominant in exposed habitats with loose soil structure and perennial forms in shady compact-soil habitats. Shading produces a lag in the phenological pattern of species. Late flowering species are mostly restricted under shaded tree canopy.

Type Locality of Clematis Hedysarifolia A.P. Dc.
Authors: Sathyanarayana Rao A.
Published: May 2024

European collectors in the past have had difficulties in transcribing clearly and consistently oriental names and plant collecting localities. Further, wrong rendering of manuscript annotations on herbarium sheets, possible bad. proof correction prior to publication, and sometimes a poor geographic sense, have singly or together, led to the ascribing of wrong localities of occurrence to some plant species, resulting in distorted distribution data. Clematis hedysarifola A.P. DC. is discussed as an example, and the type locality of this species is now concluded to be in the Western Ghats, 1 degree south of Bombay, at Dasgam.

Geometric Interpretation of the Minkowski Metric
Authors: Merz Thomas
Published: May 2024

In this article it is shown, first, that a change of basis in Minkowski space is equivalent to a change of basis in Euclidean space if a basis element is replaced by its dual element, constituting a mixed basis set. Second, that such mixed bases can be interpreted as a measurement system used by local, flat observers whose direct distance measurements are restricted to an (n−1)-dimensional submanifold in an n-dimensional Euclidean space. Combining these steps, it is concluded that a local, flat observer in a four-dimensional Euclidean space measures a Minkowski spacetime. This interpretation could be useful for theories in special relativity and related fields that rely on spacetime concepts, as it offers a more intuitive geometric understanding of the Minkowski metric.
Air Traffic Controllers’ Rostering: Sleep Quality, Vigilance, Mental Workload, and Boredom: A Report of Two Case Studies
Authors: Terenzi Michela , Tempestini Giorgia , Di Nocera Francesco
Published: May 2024

Fatigue is a recognized concern in air traffic management, prompting international bodies like ICAO and EASA to advocate for Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMS). EU Regulation 2017/373, effective since January 2020, imposes specific requirements on air traffic service providers regarding controllers' fatigue, stress, and rostering systems, as part of safety management protocols. Despite active campaigns promoting fatigue awareness in air traffic control (ATC), there remains a need for standardized operational requirements. Eurocontrol recently published "Guidelines on fatigue management in ATC rostering systems" (April 23), aiming to facilitate the adoption of common fatigue operational standards. However, neither EU Regulation 2017/373 nor existing documentation specifies exact rostering criteria. Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) typically derive these criteria from scientific literature, best practices, historical data, and legal and operational necessities. Yet, assessing and monitoring fatigue in operational settings can be complex and require long-term studies due to its multifaceted nature, spanning factors such as sleep quality, circadian rhythms, psychosocial influences, individual traits, and environmental conditions. The case studies reported in this paper represent an attempt to create an evidence-based protocol for fatigue risk monitoring in ATC operations, utilizing a non-invasive approach and collecting multidimensional data. The two case studies involved en-route and tower controllers from different ATC Centers, and the results underscore the importance of fatigue assessment in ATC and elucidates challenges in implementing fatigue monitoring within operational contexts.
The Evolution of Financial Literacy Research: A Bibliometric Analysis of Trends and Patterns
Authors: Kaur Amandeep , Sharma Dr. Manisha
Published: May 2024

The field of financial literacy is intricate and developing. This systematic review of the literature provides a thorough overview of financial literacy. It examines the sample of 3182 papers of the period 1990 to 2023 from different databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, IEEE, Science Direct, and JSTOR and identifies important publications, knowledge gaps, and rising themes. The four major topics that emerged are the degree of financial literacy among various groups of people, gender disparity in financial literacy, the influence of financial literacy on financial behavior and planning, and the impact of financial education on day-to-day decisions. Groups with lower levels of financial literacy include adults, women, people in the lower-income band, rural people, etc. Financial planning and financial behavior are positively associated with financial literacy. Financial literacy could be enhanced with financial education; however, output depends upon program design and experimental group. The review also discusses financial literacy in the context of gender disparity, including its definition, difficulties encountered, and possible solutions. This systematic study will help researchers, practitioners, and policymakers by providing insightful information on financial literacy and its ramifications.
