MANAGEMENT OF AVASCULAR NECROSIS (AVN) OF FEMORAL HEAD
THROUGH AYURVEDA AT OPD LEVEL – A CASE STUDY
Authors: Srivastava Sanjay , Pandey Mahima
Published: September 2023

Avascular necrosis is the death of bone tissue due to vascular compromise, which leads to eventual collapse of
bone tissue along with its overlying joint surface, which is the resultant of ischemia. AVN is caused due to arterial
occlusion and femoral head is the most common type of necrosis affecting the bones. The most common symptoms of AVN of Femoral Head are pain and stiffness of hip joint, radiating pain in groin, gluteal, thigh, knee regions and development of limp during walking.There is no direct correlation between AVN and AsthiMajjaGata
Vata but in their clinical presentations it is Vata Pradhana TridoshajaVyadhiwith Vikruti ofAsthi-Majja Dhatu.
In contemporary science treatment of AVN revolves around the NSAIDS, core decompression to total hip replacement surgery, which have drawbacks of long-term recovery and short life span of hip joint. On the contrary
Ayurvedic treatment provides long term relief and stops the progression of disease without any drawback. Following is documentation of improvement in patients diagnosed with AVN. A male patient of age 38 years consulted
OPD, with complaints of pricking type of pain in both hip joints, both thighs and difficulty in hip joints movements in the last 8 months. The patient was treated with oral medication and Panchakarma that included Matra
basti of Majja and Ksheerbala Taila at OPD level.

Nodular lepromatous leprosy, an atypical and advanced manifestation of lepromatous leprosy, constitutes a significant clinical and diagnostic challenge in the dermatologic disease landscape. In the present study, a comprehensive and multidimensional inquiry of this leprosy variant is undertaken to provide an enriched understanding of its clinical phenotype and underlying pathologic profile. This article is based on a prospective investigation involving a series of patients with nodular lepromatous leprosy, in which detailed clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses were performed. Through the integration of clinical findings with microscopic evaluations, the distinctive features of this nodular form are delineated, highlighting its diversified clinical presentation, which may include cutaneous nodules, peripheral nerve involvement and advanced systemic dissemination. Histopathological analysis highlights the diffuse infiltration of infected Schwann cells in the dermal nodules, as well as Langerhans cell hyperplasia and intense inflammatory response. In addition, immunohistochemical implications are explored, revealing increased expression of inflammatory markers and the involvement of immunomodulatory cells in the pathogenesis of the disease. Overall, this article seeks to fill the gap in the medical literature regarding nodular lepromatous leprosy by providing a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of its clinical presentation and pathologic basis. The information derived from this study may not only enrich the current understanding of lepromatous leprosy as a whole, but also guide future research toward more precise and personalized therapeutic approaches for this particular clinical variant.

Authors: Castro Filho Pedro Júlio de , Brandão Amaurícia Lopes Rocha , Benedito Samiles Vasconcelos Cruz
Published: September 2023

As ferramentas tecnológicas e educomunicativas constituem-se como importantes aliadas dos professores para proporcionar o ensino aos alunos, favorecendo mais caminhos nesse momento com tantas restrições. Desse modo, o objetivo deste estudo foi compreender o papel da educomunicação e das tecnologias digitais no contexto escolar no cenário de pandemia de Covid-19. A partir deste estudo foi possível verificar que, embora os avanços tecnológicos se tornaram possíveis no ensino e estão a dispor das escolas, muitos obstáculos emergem a partir disto como, por exemplo, o acesso a estas ferramentas por parte dos alunos e o despreparo, em muitas situações, de professores para manusear e extrair destas ferramentas o potencial para suas aulas. Embora existam esses obstáculos, é inegável o quanto a educomunicação e as tecnologias digitais podem ajudar as escolas a desenvolver um ensino com mais qualidade mesmo em um cenário tão delicado quanto este.
ENTRE A CONCEPÇÃO DE ALFABETIZAÇÃO E A PRÁTICA PEDAGÓGICA. O QUE FAZ A PROFESSORA?
Authors: Leal Antunes Oliveira Andhiara , Souza Couto Maria Elizabete
Published: September 2023

Este trabalho é resultado de uma pesquisa qualitativa, desenvolvida numa escola pública do extremo sul da Bahia, com uma professora e seus alunos na alfabetização, com o objetivo de identificar a concepção de alfabetização que fundamenta a prática da professora alfabetizadora e como se relaciona com a concepção das atividades desenvolvidas em sala de aula. Os dados foram coletados a partir de entrevista, observação das aulas de Língua Portuguesa e analisados a partir do Paradigma Indiciário. Foi possível perceber que a professora organizava sua prática pedagógica, nas aulas de Língua Portuguesa, ora pautada nos métodos, ora no paradigma construtivista, mas ainda precisa avançar nos elementos discursivos e argumentativos para que o texto favoreça ao aluno/leitor as aprendizagens das convenções da escrita.
O MÉTODO NATURAL E O ENSINO DA LEITURA: OLHARES A PARTIR DA ABORDAGEM FREINETIANA
Authors: Duarte Araújo Silva Fernanda
Published: September 2023

O presente trabalho propõe elencar aspectos do método natural, de acordo com estudos desenvolvidos pelo pedagogo francês Célestin Freinet, sobretudo no âmbito do ensino da leitura. Essa abordagem indica a possibilidade de um ensino da língua que respeite as experiências das crianças e contemple o trabalho com a arte e a cultura em uma perspectiva ampla. Entre os questionamentos que permearam a construção deste artigo estão: o que entendemos por método natural? Quais os princípios freinetianos para pensarmos o ensino da leitura? Como ocorre o início da leitura, em crianças, a partir dos estudos desenvolvidos por Freinet? Em linhas gerais, identificamos que com os estudos desenvolvidos por Freinet, podemos compreender que, em pleno século XXI, é fundamental refletir sobre a organização do trabalho pedagógico a partir do princípio de que a criança é um ser ativo na apropriação cultural. Ela pensa, questiona, constrói hipóteses e problematiza; logo, o ensino da leitura e da escrita ultrapassa uma “técnica”, dado que a apropriação possibilita humanizar os sujeitos e obter a compreensão de mundo.

Neste texto, apresenta-se uma análise de aspectos da 37ª edição de Cartilha Maravilhosa – aprendizagem da leitura através dos contos de fadas, de autoria de Theobaldo Miranda Santos, publicada em 1965, pela Livraria Agir Editora. Como título e subtítulo indicam, essa cartilha se utiliza de contos de fadas para a alfabetização de crianças, o que pode ser considerado uma grande inovação em sua época em relação aos textos para ensino da leitura e da escrita que, inclusive, antecipa reivindicações posteriores quanto a esse aspecto nas cartilhas. Entretanto o método empregado e as concepções de leitura, escrita e gramática acompanham o movimento histórico da alfabetização dentro de um projeto nacionalista católico para o qual os textos do âmbito literário serviam para ensinamentos para produzir bons cidadãos.

Published: September 2023

O artigo parte de publicações de trabalhos que tratam sobre levantamentos bibliográficos com foco na leitura e escrita na Educação Infantil, evidenciando que esta temática tem sido mais discutida no campo da alfabetização e menos explorada no campo de estudos da Educação Infantil. Na sequência, o texto elenca o que tratam as DCNEI’s, a BNCC e a PNA, sobre leitura e escrita na primeira etapa da educação básica, indicando diferentes direcionamentos em cada documento. Por fim, aborda sobre autores que vêm discutindo sobre essa temática, configurando dois grupos, com posições diferentes. Um grupo defende que por meio das práticas sociais de uso da oralidade, leitura e escrita, a criança vai compreendendo como a linguagem escrita se constitui. Outro grupo enfatiza a necessidade de colocar a escrita como objeto de ensino e reflexão a partir de situações em que a oralidade, leitura e escrita se fazem presentes. Evidência, portanto, que não há consenso nem nos documentos orientadores nem entre autores que discutem essa temática, o que gera certa tensão no campo.
Inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus virulence by Bacillus spp. as a potential therapy to control bovine mastitis
Authors:   , Sabino Yasmin Neves Vieira
Published: September 2023

S. aureus is a common pathogen of humans and animals that causes long-lasting infections. In the food production sector, bovine mastitis caused by S. aureus is a common disease that severely affects milk production and quality. The treatment of bovine mastitis is challenging due to the resistance of S. aureus to many available antibiotics, and the development of new therapeutic approaches to combat antibiotic resistant bacteria has been a research priority. The objective of this study was to investigate anti-virulence compounds that inhibit hemolytic activity and biofilm formation by S. aureus, which are virulence factors associated with the severity and persistence of bovine mastitis, respectively. We evaluated the capacity of Bacillus spp., a bacterium that produces an arsenal of biologically active metabolites, to produce anti- virulence compounds. The active compounds were identified and characterized, and their mechanisms of action were evaluated. The results showed that Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus velenzesis strains were able to secrete anti-hemolytic and anti-biofilm compounds in their supernatants. The anti-hemolytic activity of Bacillus spp. against S. aureus was attributed to the production of lipopeptides. Crude extracts containing lipopeptides were able to completely abolish the hemolytic activity of S. aureus at certain concentrations. After purification, iturin was the class of lipopeptides that showed the highest anti-hemolytic activity. Molecular docking analyses revealed the ability of iturin to bind to the heptameric structure of hemolysin, both outside and inside the hemolysin pore. In turn, exopolysaccharides produced by both Bacillus species showed a dose-dependent anti-biofilm effect. At a final concentration of 1 mg/mL, exopolysaccharides were able to reduce biofilm formation by up to 83% depending on the S. aureus strains tested. The characterization of the exopolysaccharides revealed that the compounds produced by B. velezensis 87 and B. subtilis TR47II have a similar structure of approximately 30 kDa, composed mainly of glucose and mannose. The results indicated that these exopolysaccharides possibly inhibit biofilm formation mainly due to a modification of the abiotic surface characteristics. In conclusion, the study reveals for the first time the potential use of Bacillus spp. and its metabolites to control the virulence of S. aureus associated with bovine mastitis. Keywords: Staphylococcus aureus. Bovine mastitis. Bacillus spp. Anti-virulence. Biofilm. Hemolysin.

Has OpenAI Achieved Artificial General Intelligence in ChatGPT?
Authors: Williams Andy E.
Published: September 2023

In this paper, we present an analysis of ChatGPT, a language model developed by OpenAI, through the lens of Human-Centric Functional Modeling (HCFM). ChatGPT is designed to interact through a chat interface in a conversational manner, with the ability to answer follow-up questions, admit mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests. Since HCFM is hypothesized to provide a functional model for assessing the existence and magnitude of general problem-solving ability (intelligence), and since according to ChatGPT itself HCFM is the only such functional model in existence, the purpose of the paper is to demonstrate the usefulness of HCFM in determining whether an AI like ChatGPT is an AGI. Using Human-Centric Functional Modeling, we aim to determine whether ChatGPT exhibits narrow problem-solving ability, classifying it as an artificial intelligence (AI), or whether it exhibits general problem-solving ability, classifying it as AGI. We also consider the magnitude of ChatGPT's problem-solving ability within the conceptual space defined by HCFM. Finally, this paper also explores the issue from the perspective of the “collective social brain” hypothesis, which predicts which AI behavior the majority of humans will find to be intelligent, as well as predicting that true machine intelligence lies outside such narrow human definitions of intelligent behavior.

Published: September 2023

The study of patterns of the formation of ear productivity depending on the content of potentially bioavailable Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu in the soil, the stochastic formalization of such patterns are important for a more profound understanding of the conceptual and mechanistic aspects of the dependence of yield development on the levels of nutrient supply of winter wheat under the conditions of environmentally friendly fertilization systems. The purpose of this study was to find statistically significant interdependencies, significant and relevant univariate or multivariate regression equations of the dependence of the mass of grains of ear-1 of winter wheat on the content of potentially bioavailable Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu in the soil, arguments and explanations of such subordinations under the conditions of environmentally friendly fertilization systems. The following methods were used in the study: field, laboratoryanalytical, mass-spectrometric, mathematical-statistical (Student’s t-test, ANOVA, correlational, single- and multivariate regression analyses). The applied green fertilization systems based on pea straw or pea straw + N30P45K45, or N60P90K90, only N60P90K90 caused an increase in the weight of grains of one ear of winter wheat, the content of mobile forms of Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu in the grey forest soil under this culture (earing phase), compared to the control (without fertilizers). Substantial and significant Pearson correlation coefficients between the mass of grains of an ear of wheat and the content of mobile Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu in the soil, the corresponding contents of Mn and Zn, Cu and Zn, as well as the coefficients of partial correlation of the mass of grains of ear-1 of wheat – Cu, Mn – Zn testified to the complex structure of interdependencies between the traits under study. Reliable, relevant single- and multifactorial regression dependences of the mass of grains of ear-1 on linear combinations of products of independent variables (the content of mobile Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu in the soil) and/or such variables in indicators of natural powers 2-4 (fragments of the Kolmogorov-Gabor polynomial) were found. The coverage of regularities in the formation of the productivity of the ear of winter wheat depending on the content of potentially bioavailable microelements in the soil under the conditions of environmentally friendly fertilization systems will enable the theoretical substantiation and development of the latest strategies of mineral and ecological engineering of agricultural systems to maintain prominent levels and biological safety of the harvest of the specified crop

The state of surface water objects requires constant attention, since on the one hand – they are the sources of fresh water, and on the other hand – the wastewater receivers. Whole range of factors influence the state of surface waters: climatic characteristics, hydrology, soil features and water quality. The relevance of this topic is due to the difficult socio-ecological situation in the river basins of Ukraine; during decades, the aquatic ecosystems have been considered and used only as an economic resource for industrial and agricultural production and the discharge of pollutants, which has led to a rapid decrease in the ecological potential of natural water objects. The purpose of the study is to analyze the natural and anthropogenic impacts on the formation of surface runoff, to determine mathematical dependencies for an adequate calculation of volumes of surface runoff, considering the anthropogenic impacts, which changes the natural features of hydrographs in watercourses and the quality of surface waters. To determine the volumes of surface runoff, it is used the methods that are based both on the direct instrumental measurements and on the construction of various digital models. In the course of the study, it has been identified the main factors influencing the formation of anthropogenic floods, as well as the most typical pollutants, which are present in the surface runoff from the areas with residential construction and artificial coating. The article proposes a number of improvements to the existing mathematical dependencies based on the theory of isochrones for a more accurate display of the processes that form the surface runoff. The resulting mathematical model can be used for predicting the surface runoff from various surfaces, both natural and those that have undergone changes as a result of anthropogenic impact, which in the future can become the basis for the development of environmental measures

In Ukraine, there is a prominent level of rabies circulation among domestic and wild carnivores. Consequently, the epizootic situation of rabies in Ukraine requires studying the spread of this infection using modern surveillance tools, which allow for territorial assessment and identification of risk zones during analysis. The purpose of this research was to describe the spatial characteristics of the rabies epizootic in the Kyiv Oblast during 2020-2022, focusing on both wild and domestic animals. Official reporting data were analysed to examine the total number of samples of pathological material (brain tissue) collected from various animal species with suspected rabies. Positive samples were georeferenced and visualized using software to form clusters of rabies cases based on years and types of animals, creating point layers and density mapping of cases. The analysis revealed that in the Kyiv Oblast, 1788 samples of pathological brain material from animals with suspected rabies were examined, of which 237 were positive. The largest number of samples belonged to wild animals (primarily foxes), acting as a reservoir of the infection. The proportion of wild animals accounted for 64.4% of the total examined, but the number of positive samples varied between 1.7% and 5.5%. Compared to domestic animals (cats and dogs), this figure reached up to 30.0% of the total number of samples examined. Other animal species accounted for 3.2% of positive cases among the total examined. Thus, the highest morbidity rate was observed in domestic animals, representing 72.1% of the total identified positive cases. The highest density of rabies cases in the Kyiv Oblast was observed in the southwest and centre. Persistent clusters of rabies cases were in the Bila Tserkva district and the western outskirts of Kyiv. In the western part of Kyiv, the cluster was formed by cases in wild animals, cats, and dogs. In the Bila Tserkva district, the cluster was formed by cases in wild animals, cats, dogs, and cattle. The highest density of rabies cases in wild animals was registered on the western outskirts of Kyiv

Since economic development is often associated with an increase in greenhouse gas emissions, it is especially important to answer the question of whether it is possible to achieve sustainable economic development and improve energy efficiency at the same time, which implies a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The purpose of this study was to build models that can help find the environmental and economic determinants of energy efficiency in European countries. An ecological and economic determinants of energy efficiency indicators of 38 European countries were found based on panel regression models. The models were built based on statistical data characterizing the level of their economic development and consumption of diverse types of energy for 1995-2021. To obtain the necessary approximations of energy efficiency indicators, one of three types of models was used: the random effects method, the fixed effects method, or the pooled model. For this, appropriate statistical tests were used. As a result, it was found that the factors that have a statistically significant impact on the energy intensity of GDP in European countries include the intensity of carbon dioxide emissions, unemployment rate, primary energy consumption per capita, and gross electricity production per capita. The findings showed that determinants of primary energy consumption were domestic consumption of solid fossil fuels per capita, domestic natural gas consumption per capita, and primary energy consumption per capita. The study results generally confirm the modern-day thesis that economic development can be achieved while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The monitoring of factors that have a statistically significant impact on the indicators under consideration can become an essential element of the modern energy efficiency management system of the national economies of European countries

In connection with the growing scale of soil dehumification, studies of the patterns of synthesis of the precursors of humus molecules – melanins of bacterial origin – are becoming increasingly relevant. The purpose of this study was to establish the influence of the main factors of agricultural production on the spread of melaninsynthesizing microorganisms: the method of basic soil cultivation, mineral fertilizers, and the type of agricultural crop. Research methods: microbiological, laboratory-analytical, statistical, correlational. As a result, the study found for the first time that the main cultivation of the soil affects the number of melaninsynthesizing microorganisms: micromycetes, bacteria, аzotobacter. In the variant without the application of mineral fertilizers (control), the soil was characterized by the minimum amount of melanin-synthesizing bacteria using the No-till technology, 28.8% more – using disking, and 2.4 times more – using ploughing. The number of melaninsynthesizing micromycetes in the variant without fertilizers was also maximum upon ploughing, the average number was observed with No-till technologies, and the minimum number – using shallow disk tillage. Application of mineral fertilizers in a dose of N30P30K65 leads to an increase in the number of melanin-synthesizing bacteria in the ploughing option by 3.58 times, disking by 3.53 times, No-till technology by 2.28 times. An increase in the dose of mineral fertilizers to N150P100K120 contributes to an increase in the number of melanin-synthesizing bacteria by 5.04 times upon ploughing, 5.78 times upon disking, and 2.24 times upon no-till technologies. The medium-significant nature of the relationship between the content of humus and the number of melanin-synthesizing bacteria (r=0.528) and their share in the total number of microorganisms (r=0.470) suggested that in chernozem inherent in growing sunflowers, humus is formed mainly with the participation melanins of bacterial origin. Metabolites of polysaccharide-synthesizing bacteria take part in the formation of the resistance of humus molecules to microbial mineralization, the probability of the formation of colonies of which has a moderately significant relationship with the content of humus (r=0.532). The results of these studies can be used in the development of recommendations for regulating the content of humus in agricultural soils, preventing its excessive mineralization, which will allow preserving and increasing soil fertility
