Published: October 2022

In the effort to protect and manage the environment, every business and/or activity must have an environmental permit. One of the lowest responsibilities of an entity or business carried out by an individual or group is a Declaration of Ability and Environmental Monitoring, (Law No.32 of 2009) Puskesmas waste is generated from patient care as well as from other supporting activities. In general, waste is grouped into two major groups, namely medical waste and non-medical waste, both solid and liquid. The problem of medical waste in Puskesmas should quickly get serious and focused attention because the production of medical waste is increasing every day and becomes a dangerous threat to health workers, patients, and the surrounding environment. This condition is a serious problem and is considered important from an environmental health aspect. The strategy for the study of medical waste management at Puskesmas is using SWOT analysis, one of the approaches used is a qualitative approach with a SWOT matrix. The matrix shows how medical waste management at Puskesmas is carried out according to the conditions of opportunities and threats faced with the strengths and weaknesses of Puskesmas. So the method used in this research is to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that are owned by the Puskesmas

There are many cases of behavioral and environmental-based diseases, one of which includes those occurring in Darel Hikmah Islamic boarding school. Scabies is a health problem that needs to be addressed, especially in environments with high population density, such as Islamic boarding schools. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between environmental factors, and behavior and to analyze the factors most at risk of scabies at Darel Hikmah Islamic Boarding School. The research was conducted in June-October 2020 at the Darel Hikmah Islamic Boarding School. Based on the results of research that has been done, it is known that the environmental factors associated with the incidence of scabies are lighting and humidity. Behavioral factors related to the incidence of scabies are the habit of washing hands with soap and the habit of changing clothes. The most risk factor for scabies in Islamic boarding schools is humidity. Scabies is a contagious disease caused by an infestation of the Sarcoptes scabiei mite and very often occurs in environments with poor sanitation and unsanitary and healthy living habits. Islamic boarding schools need to take precautions according to their level, namely primary, secondary and tertiary prevention, and regular medical examinations for students.

Authors:   , Batista Silva da Carlos Alexandre
Published: October 2022

O objetivo deste trabalho foi de estudar a chuva de sementes em área ciliar degradada de um sistema ribeirinho intermitente no município de Serra Branca, Cariri paraibano. O período amostral foi de julho de 2019 a junho de 2020 e abrangeu a área ciliar degradada do riacho Lagoa da Serra (7°30’04.32’’ S e 36°42’13.12’’ W, com 511 m de altitude) pertencente a sub-bacia do Rio Taperoá. Nesta área ciliar foram dispostas 50 parcelas contíguas de 10 X 20 m sendo alocado no centro de cada uma, um coletor com dimensão de 0,5 m X 0,5 m (0,25 m2), totalizando 12,5 m2 de área amostral. A periodicidade das coletas foi mensal. A triagem do material foi realizada no Laboratório de Ecologia e Botânica – LAEB/CDSA/UFCG e pesado em balança com precisão de 0,001g considerando as frações folhas, galhos, flores, frutos, sementes, cascas e miscelânea. Para as espécies registradas na chuva de sementes foram calculados os parâmetros de densidade relativa e frequência relativa. Também foi determinado o índice de diversidade de Shannon (H’) e o índice de equabilidade de Pielou. Considerando as frações do material depositado nos coletores da chuva de sementes obteve-se uma massa total de 2.365,4222 g, com destaque para fração folha com maior massa, representando 68,98% do total. Na chuva de sementes foram levantadas 34 espécies, com todos os hábitos de crescimento, com predomínio de famílias constituídas por espécies herbáceas, seguida por lianas, arbustos e arbóreos. Houve um total de 42.270 sementes registradas na área. Relacionado ao número de sementes depositadas por família, destacaram-se Poaceae (21.252), Asteraceae (10.030), Malvaceae (4.894) e Fabaceae (2.406). Relacionado ao número de sementes depositadas por espécies, destacaram-se a Chloris virgata Sw. (13.788), Blainvillea acmella (L.) Philipson (9.795), Urochloa decumbens (Stapf) R.D.Webster. (3.609), Sida cordifolia L. (3.402), e Morfoespécie 4 (2.500). Considerando os dados de densidade e frequência relativa observou-se variabilidade temporal dos valores por espécie. O índice de diversidade de Shannon para a chuva de sementes foi 2,116 e a equabilidade foi de 0,600. Portanto, considerando o registro da variação sazonal da chuva de sementes ratifica-se a importância do estudo da variabilidade temporal da precipitação com as respostas da dinâmica da chuva de sementes em áreas ciliares degradadas no contexto do Semiárido brasileiro. A dissertação se alinha aos itens 6 e 15 da agenda 2030. Item 6 – Água potável e saneamento; Item 15 – Vida terrestre.
Otimização estocástica implícita e teoria dos jogos cooperativos para operação mensal de reservatórios com múltiplos usos.
Authors:   , Nascimento Gomes Flavia
Published: October 2022

A construção de reservatórios é uma solução adotada na tentativa de amenizar problemas relacionados às secas, às inundações e à demanda de água para diversas atividades. Estas estruturas são gerenciadas com base em regras de operação que, além de práticas e dinâmicas, devem considerar a variabilidade hidrológica no sistema, as necessidades dos usuários e as condições ambientais. Desse modo, o presente trabalho propõe um modelo baseado em Otimização Estocástica Implícita (OEI) e Teoria dos Jogos Cooperativos (CGT, do inglês Cooperative Game Theory) para operação mensal de reservatórios com múltiplos usos. O procedimento metodológico proposto pode ser resumido em duas etapas: (1) derivação de regras operacionais, por meio de OEI, para definir a alocação máxima disponível considerando todos os usos do reservatório; e (2) distribuição da alocação disponível via CGT. Para aplicação do modelo OEI, as vazões de entrada ao sistema hídrico foram geradas pelo Método dos Fragmentos e as regras definidas por regressão nãolinear. Para fins de validação da metodologia, o modelo OEI-CGT foi aplicado ao sistema hídrico Curema-Mãe D’Água, localizado no semiárido nordestino. Os resultados foram apreciados com base em um indicador de vulnerabilidade, apontando que as regras OEI são superiores à política de operação padrão, conhecida como SOP (do inglês, Standard Operating Policy). O estudo também demonstrou, por meio de métricas de eficiência e estabilidade, que o modelo OEI-CGT gerou soluções com maior aceitabilidade, apresentando potencial para evitar ou resolver conflitos pelo uso da água.

The results of an experiment: Predatory publications represent a threat to the academic community in the Republic of Moldova
Authors: CUCIUREANU Gheorghe , VRABIE Valeria
Published: October 2022

The paper describes an experiment of publishing a pseudo-scientific text in two predatory editions abroad (a conference and a journal) by an invented author from Chisinau: selection of editions, preparation of the manuscript, publication stages, characteristics of the editions in which were published, etc. The results of the experiment are analyzed in the context of the situation of scientific research in the Republic of Moldova and the challenges facing it, including the Covid-19 pandemic, the transition to open access publishing and the ethical issues caused by the "publish or perish" approach. The lack of any quality control when publishing articles in the two pseudo-scientific editions is demonstrated that the risks of integrating predatory publications into the culture of scientific research are highlighted. The paper contains suggestions on possible ways to combat publication in pseudo-scientific (predatory) editions.

Ethical reference systems in political discourses: A comparison between the messages to the population of the heads of state of France, Germany and Romania at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic
Authors: RODAT  Simona
Published: October 2022

The global Covid-19 pandemic has caused a number of unprecedented actions at the political level. In order to argue the need for the extraordinary measures that restricted social life, the heads of state addressed the population through explanatory, justifying, but also mobilizing speeches. This paper analyses the speeches given to the nation in March 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic, by the heads of state of three countries in the European Union: France, Germany and Romania. The main objective of the study was to identify the ethical reference systems to which the speakers appealed, and the method used was thematic discourse analysis. The study shows that the three heads of state used in their messages to the population, in a distinct way, ethical systems and frames of reference such as history, homeland, nation, European Union, humanity, democracy. The paper discusses in detail the ways in which these reference systems appear in the speeches, what aspects emphasized and eluded the speakers, as well as the similarities and differences revealed by the thematic analysis between the three discourses.

Authors: Abhishek M. U. , Shashikumar M. S. , Shetty Daivik Taranath , Shetty Gaurav Kishore
Published: October 2022

Introduction: Spinal tuberculosis is a serious form of extra pulmonary tuberculosis which if left untreated can be fatal; neurologic dysfunctions in association with active tuberculosis of spine can be prevented by early diagnosis and prompt treatment. Prompt treatment can reverse paralysis and minimize the potential disability resulting from Pott’s paraplegia. A significant dilemma exists as to which line of management a patient needs to be subjected once diagnosed to have spinal tuberculosis. Objective: Assess the functional and neurological outcome of patients treated with different modalities of treatment and attempts to ascertain the best practise for effective management of a case of spinal tuberculosis. Materials and Methods: 22 adult patients diagnosed with spinal TB and treated with either conservative line of management or CT/USG guided pigtail catheter drainage with chemotherapy or surgery combined with chemotherapy, were considered. Patients were followed up until completion of anti-TB treatment. Clinical outcomes were assessed using Visual analogue scale, Oswestry Disability Index and modified McCormick grade. Results: Patients having milder form were treated conservatively using anti-tubercular drugs alone (n=13). Patients with well-established abscess and without instability were treated using CT/USG guided pigtail catheter drainage along with antitubercular drugs (n=6).

D-module approach to Liouville's Theorem for difference operators
Authors: Cheng Kam Hang , Chiang Yik Man , Ching Avery
Published: October 2022

We establish analogues of Liouville's theorem in the complex function theory, with the differential operator replaced by various difference operators. This is done generally by the extraction of (formal) Taylor coefficients using a residue map which measures the obstruction having local "anti-derivative". The residue map is based on a Weyl algebra or $q$-Weyl algebra structure satisfied by each corresponding operator. This explains the different senses of "boundedness" required by the respective analogues of Liouville's theorem in this article.

Authors: Naila de Souza Glenda , Pellegrino Baena Cristina , Rabbers Vasconcelos Jennifer Cristina , Duarte de Lima Moser Auristela
Published: October 2022

Objective: to investigate the association between handgrip strength and functional capacity in people with diabetes.

Method: observational cross-sectional study with 168 participants seen at an outpatient clinic in Curitiba, Brazil, in 2019. Clinical, sociodemographic, and socioeconomic data were collected, and the following protocols were applied: World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule; Timed Up and Go; and dynamometry. For the analysis, multiple linear regression models were adjusted for the dependent variables related to functional capacity.

Results: we observed mild disability, borderline functional mobility, and higher correlation between functional mobility scale and handgrip strength (r=-0.384; p < 0.01). Handgrip strength with other covariates explained less than 30% of the functional variability.

Conclusion: these results contribute to the problem-solving of clinical practice in that they show that muscle strength and functional capacity should be considered in the evaluation of the patient in combination, making it clearer and more comprehensive.

LA SOCIEDAD HUMANA VISTA DESDE LA ÓPTICA IUSECONÓMICA
Authors: Palacios Requena Rafael F
Published: October 2022

Es del conocimiento general que el mundo y por ende la sociedad humana está organizado, principalmente, en base a dos dogmas políticos o sistemas económicos: el primero, la economía libre, centrada en torno a las ideas y conceptos liberales y capitalistas impulsadores del “homo economicus”, regido por el sistema de producción y el Imperio de la Ley en donde todo individuo se esfuerza por emplear su capital para optimizar su utilidad; mientras que el segundo dogma, la economía estatista, socialista o comunista según la intromisión estatal, sea parcial o total, dirigida por el Estado y manipulada por la burocracia gubernamental en su propio beneficio. Esta disyuntiva ha venido perturbando el Sistema Social con base en las siguientes causas: 1.- Factores permisivos en los altos estratos sociales quienes ejercen el poder o están cerca de él. 2.- Comportamientos de pánico en los sectores medios y 3.- Pobreza extrema en los bajos estratos sociales. Las Sociedades ubicadas bajo el segundo dogma, independientemente del avance científico y tecnológico en continuo desarrollo, pretenden mantener vivo un debate fenecido en 1989 y 1991 entre el capitalismo y el socialismo con el interés de implantar un populismo totalitarista que le permita lograr una igualdad social con base en la miseria y apoderarse, de esta manera, de la maquinaria del Estado para servir a sus propios fines. El objetivo perseguido por este trabajo investigativo se centra en el análisis y evaluación iuseconómico de las implicaciones que el dilema existente entre ambos dogmas está causando en el Derecho, base fundamental de la sociedad, y simultáneamente en la Economía, base fundamental de la vida.

It would appear that no corner of the globe is exempt from the implications to their daily life of the actions and relationships between countries. Years on, the full ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic are still evident in the practices and policies of tertiary educators, as evidenced by the many articles that continue to discuss their experiences.  What has remained a constant for higher education educators is their duty to ensure that they provide opportunities for their students to develop and experience a sense of belonging, community, and ‘place’ in the virtual classroom. Another challenge is ensuring that the design of educational offerings taps into and nurtures the development of student learning styles and approaches to learning, that can lead to a successful, meaningful, productive and enjoyable student learning experience.The IJHE is proud to provide an avenue for researchers to share their findings to enhance the overall student experience. We are proud to present this issue with 16 contributions from Thailand, South Africa, Israel, Australia, Malaysia, Canada, the USA, Switzerland, Oman, Korea and China. This issue has a strong focus on improving the academic delivery and access of information to students in higher education. Research on information and communication technology deficits and innovations, assessment techniques, balancing home, study and employment, and leadership, will provide interesting and informative reading for all.

Penelitian ini bertujuan sebagai upaya dalam proses perencanaan pengembangan kota di Kecamatan Gunungsitoli ke depannya guna terciptanya kualitas lingkungan fisik yang berkesinambungan dan berkelanjutan. Hal tersebut diperlukan karena masalah bentukan fisik kota sejalan dengan semakin kompleksnya kehidupan kota di Kecamatan Gunungsitoli.  Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif berupa wawancara mendalam dengan responden dari instansi Bappeda Kota Gunungsitoli, Dinas PUPR Kota Gunungsitoli, dan Akademisi. Pembangunan di Kecamatan Gunungsitoli memiliki kendala dari faktor topografi yang mengakibatkan adanya perbedaan kontur dan karakteristik tanah sehingga terdapat kendala dalam pengadaaan sistem jaringan jalan seperti kecendrungan tidak meratanya perletakaan massa bangunan. Bentuk alam Kecamatan Gunungsitoli dibelah oleh Sungai Nou dan dikelilingi oleh pegunungan yang membentuk delta pada muara antara Sungai Nou dengan laut. Perkembangan berpusat pada daerah delta yang berbentuk kipas dan perkembangan lainnya bersifat linear berkesinambungan dengan garis pantai dikarenakan tersedia struktur kota berupa jalan yang memungkinkan untuk di jadikan jalan karena kontur tanahnya relatif datar. Faktor topografi dan bentuk alam di Kecamatan Gunungsitoli yang menjadi kendala justru menjadi karakter dan keunikan dalam perkembangan morfologi Kota Gunungsitoli.

Introduction: Alopecia for men and women represents a significant problem worldwide, with around 600,000 hair restoration surgical procedures performed worldwide each year. Thus, the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in regenerative medicine has been investigated for the treatment of alopecia. Objective: We performed a concise systematic review of the main clinical findings of the use of platelet-rich plasma for the treatment of alopecia. Methods: The systematic review rules of the PRISMA Platform were followed. The research was carried out from August to September 2022 in Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. Scientific articles from the last 5 years were selected. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results: PRP was effective in increasing the proliferative activity of hair follicle cells and in increasing capillary density. In androgenetic alopecia, the addition of PRP with microneedling increased effectiveness and shortened the time required for optimal results, as did the combined use of PRP and minoxidil. Conclusion: According to the results of the main randomized controlled trials, platelet-rich plasma showed efficacy in increasing the proliferative activity of hair follicle cells and increasing capillary density.
‘Hottentot Barbie’ as a Multicultural Star: The Commodification of Race in Nicki Minaj’s Music Videos
Authors: Schoppmeier Sören
Published: October 2022

This paper is concerned with the ways in which race is commodified in Nicki Minaj’s music videos. It is argued that by selling both whiteness and blackness in various forms, Minaj establishes and sustains her persona as a multicultural star and is thus able to satisfy the demands of a wide, racially mixed audience. Most of Minaj’s videos are analyzed to support this point. The paper discusses Minaj’s music regarding genres and lyrical content, as well as the images in her clips, including her looks and moves. It is demonstrated how Minaj succeeds in and switches between both white-coded pop and black-coded rap music, how she embodies the white beauty standard as well as the exotic, sexual black woman, and how she successfully juggles markers of whiteness and blackness in a way that allows her to use both simultaneously and to easily switch from one to the other without losing credibility. Thus, Minaj becomes a multicultural star who occupies a space beyond common constraints of the conventional black/white binary.
“The Ultimate Woman Is a Man”: An Analysis of Medical Authority and the (In)Visibility of Intersexuality in House, M.D.
Authors: Whybrew Simon Daniel
Published: October 2022

The medical drama House, M.D. has been the subject of numerous publications and has even been used to teach medicine to university students. This paper asserts that the discourses of medical authenticity that surround House, M.D. impart an aura of medical authority to the show that is further enhanced by its performative enactment of medical professionalism. As a result of this, the series is shown to be emboldened with the discursive power of modern biomedicine. Accordingly, this paper argues that the depiction of intersex people as a socially marginalized and medically stigmatized group gains special significance, as the show has the power to either reaffirm or challenge their marginalized status, and, along with that, the underlying heteronormative gender system. Hence, this paper utilizes the concept of heteronormativity in conjunction with Judith Butler’s conception of gender performativity and Michel Foucault’s theory of the medical gaze to analyze the portrayal of intersexuality in the episode “Skin Deep.” The paper demonstrates that rather than unfolding the deconstructive potential of intersexuality, the show reinforces heteronormative standards as it represents intersexuality as a pathological aberration.

Published: October 2022

Biomaterials play an active role in tissue regeneration and are widely used in the treatment of tissue transplantation applications for the repair of damaged hard tissue, bone cancer, bone loss due to skeletal trauma and infection, bone fractures and congenital deformities of the facial and skull bones. Since autografts and allografts have many disadvantages, there is a need for synthetic bone grafts and biomaterials. Many bioceramic materials such as beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) and calcium sulfate are widely used in bone formation. Since beta-TCP-based bone grafts are used in the form of granules, silicate reinforced flexible strips are used in orthopedic surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery. The aim of this study is to examine the mechanical properties of silicate-doped flexible biomaterials, taking into account their biocompatibility and their positive effects on tissue regeneration. In order to achieve the stated purpose, the methods planned to be followed, tensile tests will be applied for the mechanical properties of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) image for its morphology. In this study, it was found that silicate-doped flexible biomaterials have a homogeneous and porous structure. In addition, the obtained mechanical test results and the functionality of the silicate-doped flexible biomaterial during bone regeneration according to the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 5833 and ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) D638 standard have been demonstrated.
Design of a Real-Time Tracking System to Eliminate 3D Printing Errors Caused by Thermoplastic Materials

Published: October 2022

Material-related printing errors are frequently encountered in 3D printers based on the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) technology. When the materials used are investigated, materials such as PLA, ABS, and Nylon are generally preferred at affordable prices. However, printing problems may occur due to the mechanical characteristics difference between the materials. Among the main reasons for this are parameters such as material characters, melting temperature, and extrusion speed. These errors cause problems such as filament breaking, nozzle clogging, and filament falling out of the holder. As a result, the filament flow is interrupted, and the printing process continues without extrusion of the filament because the 3D printer cannot detect this flow. 3D printers on the market do not have a system to detect possible printing errors. Therefore, in this study, a system design measures the filament weight via a load sensor and informs the user has been performed. 3D printers could stop the printing process since they can detect possible errors in advance with the developed system and prevent electricity consumption and time loss. In addition, the amount of used and remaining filaments, which are not yet common in 3D printers, can be followed by the user.
A case report of osteoid osteoma in bone marrow of mandible

Published: October 2022

The intrabony lesions of the jawbones are rare pathological situations conditions and their approach requires special knowledge and experience. Osteoid osteoma is a benign lesion of the bones, which is rare in the jawbones, increases slowly and its bigger size reaches roughly 2cm. It is more often developed in the cortical bone, but subperiosteal and rarely intramarrow cases have been reported. The pathogenesis of osteoid osteoma pathogenesis is unknown. Due to the small size of the lesion some authors support, that it is not a tumor but a lesion of vascular etiology. The case report is about a 37 year old female, with radiographical osteosclerotic marks in the bone marrow and pain in the region of 46 after its extraction, due to previous failure of a root canal treatment which was performed two years ago and the continuation of the symptoms.

INTRODUÇÃO: O processo de lesão nas queimaduras pode causar traumas físicos e psicológicos, principalmente, quando esse atinge a sexualidade do indivíduo. Há prejuízos na forma de se enxergar e de se relacionar com as demais pessoas. Os danos físicos, ainda que tratados, podem gerar sequelas psicossociais a longo prazo, influenciando na sexualidade e na reinserção da vítima da queimadura na comunidade. OBJETIVOS: Analisar a relação entre o sofrimento no tratamento de queimaduras e o impacto na sexualidade do indivíduo. METODOLOGIA: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, baseado em uma revisão de literatura. A plataforma de busca foi o Pubmed e os descritores MeSH: “burn” AND “sexual behavior”, foram encontrados 136 artigos com os descritores utilizados e foram selecionados 8 artigos que se enquadraram dentro do recorte pretendido. RESULTADOS: Em uma revisão integrativa da literatura sobre sexualidade em queimados, com inclusão de 22 estudos, houve uma associação inversa entre idade e preocupação sexual e estima sexual; havia uma relação direta entre tempo desde o trauma e a alta hospitalar com problemas sexuais. A maioria dos casos analisados ​​apresentaram melhora da função sexual após o início da terapia sexual. Outro estudo envolvendo 362 pacientes do Royal Perth Hospital mostrou que 18,4% dos pacientes queimados tiveram impacto em alguma medida em sua excitação sexual aos 12 meses pós-lesão e pouco mais de 17,2% dos pacientes indicaram mudanças em abraçar, segurar e beijar. Um estudo realizado no VII Congresso Brasileiro de Queimados, mostrou que 57,2% (n = 71) dos entrevistados na pesquisa não acreditavam que seu centro de queimados está fazendo um trabalho adequado ou bom abordando sexualidade e intimidade com sobreviventes de queimaduras. CONCLUSÃO: Uma queimadura pode trazer sequelas físicas e psicossociais às vítimas, que experimentam mudanças em sua sexualidade, imagem corporal e relacionamentos após o trauma, o que pode afetar sua qualidade de vida com o tempo, visto que a função sexual é uma parte integral da vida de um indivíduo. Assim, serviços de reabilitação precisam estar cientes desses problemas e criar programas de reabilitação específicos e significativos para o manejo desses problemas.
