Objetivo: Verificar na literatura científica o envolvimento da terapia de reposição hormonal (TRH) no desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares em mulheres menopausadas. Métodos: Foi feita uma revisão integrativa, usando como critério a busca em bases de dados científicos PubMed, Scielo e MEDLINE no intuito de buscar trabalhos publicados no formato de artigo científico original, publicados entre os anos de 2015 e 2021. Resultados: Observou-se que o início da terapia de reposição hormonal, quando feito próximo da menopausa, tende a ter menores riscos à saúde cardiovascular quando comparado a inícios tardios ao período. Consonante a isso, outras teses corroboram com a ideia de que, quando privado no organismo, o estrogênio tende a danificar a fisiologia da parede do vasos, resultando em mortalidade cardiovascular no período pós-menopausa. Por outro lado, além do hormônio ovariano, faz-se necessária, também, a avaliação de outros fatores circundantes ao processo de morbidade na menopausa, como o tabagismo, a obesidade e o sedentarismo. Considerações finais: Visualizam-se benefícios cardioprotetores da terapia de reposição hormonal (TRH) a depender do período de vida da mulher.

A gestão dos recursos naturais, visando o desenvolvimento sustentável, requer um planejamento eficiente, que pode ser obtido ao considerar as características da paisagem da microbacia hidrográfica. Assim, objetivou-se com este trabalho analisar as características hidrogeomorfométricas e a dinâmica de cobertura do solo da microbacia Rio da Paca, por meio de softwares gratuitos, técnicas de geoprocessamento e imagens de satélite. A microbacia tem área  de 8,88 km2, perímetro de 17,79 km, fator de forma de 0,32, índice de circularidade de 0,35 (forma alongada) e coeficiente de compacidade de 1,67, altitudes de 225 a 303 m, predominância dos relevos suave ondulado e plano, 99,89% da área classificada como de baixa influência na propagação de incêndios e apta a extremamente apta à mecanização agrícola, rede de drenagem de 8,79 km, padrão de drenagem dendrítico de 3ª ordem, 0,90 nascentes km-2, densidade de  drenagem de 0,99 km km-2, coeficiente de manutenção de 1.010,2 m2 m-1, índice de sinuosidade de 12,83 (canal muito reto) e tempo de concentração de 1,52 h. No período de 1984 a 2022, ocorreu o crescimento da área de agropecuária e a redução da área de floresta nativa na microbacia e na zona ripária. Conclui-se que a microbacia tem potencial para o desenvolvimento agropecuário, contudo, é necessário recuperar a vegetação nativa nas áreas protegidas por lei (ex: zona ripária) e adotar práticas conservacionistas nos sistemas agropecuários para mitigar o impacto antrópico e conservar os recursos naturais.
EXAMINANDO OS MODELOS DE PERIODIZAÇÃO DAS CAPACIDADES BIOMOTORAS UTILIZADOS NO BASQUETEBOL
Authors: Vretaros Adriano
Published: October 2022

Os modelos de periodização são instrumentos pedagógicos valiosos na confecção dos programas de treinamento físico-desportivo. Logo, o objetivo desta pesquisa é examinar os modelos de periodização das capacidades biomotoras utilizados no basquetebol. Na revisão literária, houve a consulta em quatro bases de dados (LILACS, PubMed, Scielo, and Google Scholar) nos idiomas português, inglês e\ou espanhol, onde foram selecionados um total de 58 textos científicos que discorressem sobre modelos de periodização das capacidades biomotoras no basquetebol e, 11 livros-texto no campo da teoria do treinamento desportivo. Normalmente, cada modelo de periodização é delineado de acordo com pressupostos teóricos específicos e ajustado ao calendário da liga, categoria competitiva e gênero dos atletas. Constatou-se que em 80% das pesquisas examinadas os modelos de periodização conseguiram aprimorar as diferentes capacidades biomotoras exigidas no basquetebol. A grande maioria destes modelos empregues são classificados como contemporâneos. Em 20% dos estudos, os modelos de periodização não denotaram melhorias nas capacidades biomotoras e\ou respostas fisiológicas. As principais causas estavam relacionadas com o tempo insuficiente para uma estimulação eficaz, uso do modelo tradicional de periodização e foram realizadas exclusivamente no período competitivo. Foi notado que periodizar capacidades biomotoras na temporada envolve gerenciamento complexo, pois elas apresentam dinâmicas comportamentais variadas frente a uma série de fatores intervenientes que necessitam de monitoramento e controle sistematizado. Concluiu-se que os modelos contemporâneos de periodização talvez sejam os mais adequados para otimizar o rendimento no basquetebol, principalmente por atenderem às demandas do calendário competitivo atual.

Authors: Okwuosa Okwuosa Joseph , Nwajei Nwajei Al , Owolabi Owolabi AO , Ibuaku Ibuaku JC , Olowabi Owolabi MO , Aniekwensi Aniekwensi EC
Published: October 2022

Purpose: Medication adherence can be defined as the extent to which a patient’s behaviour corresponds to the medication dosing regimen including time, dosing, and interval of medication intake. In chronic conditions with long-term therapies like hypertension, diabetes, depression, etc., adherence is important in achieving target outcomes but is often low. It has long been recognized that support from family, friends and significant others do play a role in helping diabetics adhere to their medication which might lead to optimal glycaemic control. This study set out to find out what influence perceived social support has, as regards medication adherence among adult type 2 diabetic Nigerians assessing care in Federal Medical Centre, Asaba, Nigeria.

Methodology: The study was conducted on 244 participants who attended the diabetic clinic of the Federal Medical Centre, Asaba from September to November 2018. Data was collected by means of an interviewer-administered questionnaire comprising of 3 sections. Section A was for sociodemographic characteristics, section B was the 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale for information on medication adherence and section C was the modified Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support to collect information on perceived social support.

Findings: All the recruited 244 participants completed the study giving a response rate of 100. The age range of the respondents was 18 to 87 years with a mean age of 51.9 ± 6.1 years. Females accounted for a higher percentage of respondents [60.2%] compared to their male counterparts [39.8%]. Good total perceived social support was significantly associated with high medication adherence [p=0.0001]. A good total perceived social support (OR = 3.27; 95% CI = 2.25 - 4.71; P = 0.0001) has 3.27 times the odds for high medication adherence than a poor total perceived social support.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study shows that high medication adherence is significantly associated with good perceived social support. It is important that healthcare providers caring for patients with type 2 diabetes involve families, friends, or significant others in their management so as to improve their medication adherence. Routine evaluation of perceived social support is also recommended for type 2 diabetes patients with poor medication adherence.

Published: October 2022

Purpose: The study was to examine the healthcare waste management practices in Niger State, Nigeria, with a view of promoting the quality of environment. The study has the following objectives: Determine the factors which influenced healthcare waste management practices in Niger State, assess the problems hindering the provision of adequate healthcare waste management practices, examine the physical planning implications on their sustainability, and examine the existing waste-management practices vis-a-vis of GHG emissions mitigation mechanism.

Methodology: A questionnaires survey was carried out on the one hundred and fifty (150) respondents who were workers in the health facilities selected for the study for proper assessment of healthcare waste management of the hospitals. There was an interview of the various heads of departments of the hospitals’ administration to obtain accurate information on the management of the healthcare waste. 

Findings: The study found that the health facilities do not have records of the volume of waste which they generate. The medical wastes generated range from 0.116 to 0.561 kg/bed/day, but there is no standard gauge for measuring waste collected in Niger state. Thus, the average generation rate is approximately 0.181 kg/bed/day. What the study classified as general waste was found to be common among the health facilities in the study area. About 66.4% of the respondents ascertained this type of waste which constituted of paper, food and plastic.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: Policies and monitoring mechanisms should be generated and coordinated at the federal and State levels and including Local Governments Areas (LGA) and Health facilities levels

Published: October 2022

Microbubble aeration has been recognized as a tool to improve dissolved oxygen and fish culture performance in limited water aquaculture. This research aims to investigate the effect of microbubble aeration on increasing dissolved oxygen, fish culture performance, and stress resistance of red tilapia. The study used 3 treatments of aerations namely microbubble, blower, and without aeration with 3 replicates each. Red tilapia weighing 115.27±3.93 g were stocked in a plastic tank of 800 L water volume at density 50 individual/tank and cultured for 50 days in a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS). Dissolved oxygen, fish culture performance, and stress resistance were evaluated. Dissolved oxygen was monitored daily. In the middle of the research period, a stress test was performed using different salinity at 12 and 24 ppt. Statistical analysis was subjected to water quality, fish culture performance, and stressed resistance. The microbubble aeration was able to stabilize DO level on 4.28 mg/L until the end of the experiment and suppressed the CO2 and ammonia content. Fish biomass was higher in microbubble treatment, with a lower FCR value, lower stress level indicating fish in good health and promoting good culture performance.

HIGHLIGHTS

The critical parameter of water quality in aquaculture is dissolved oxygen (DO) and to increase its content is by aeration

A nobel microbubble aeration was able to increase DO level higher than blower aeration and stabilize DO at requirement level until the end of the fish culture

The strong relationship of DO with fish hematology parameters those more stable that indicate a lower stress level

Stable physiological conditions and low stress of fish implied that the cultivated fish is in good health and good performance by microbubble aeration

Published: October 2022

Coronavirus is a new pandemic disease that began in Wuhan, China, and has since spread over the globe. The number of COVID-19 cases reported daily in Iraq has slowly increased. This study aims to investigate the effect of Covid-19 on the normal range of White Blood Cells (WBC), D-Dimer, and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH). This study looked at 65 patients who had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 using polymerase chain reaction analysis. Patients with mild symptoms and a normal CT scan for the chest were separated into three groups: those with mild symptoms and a normal CT scan for the chest, those with intermediate disease presenting with fever and cough, other respiratory symptoms, and those with severe disease. At the time of the study, all patients' data were collected from Al-Diwaniyah Teaching hospital admission for parameters of White blood cell count, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, and D-Dimer levels, from December 27, 2020, to April 1, 2021. The WBC count, D-Dimer, and LDH in the patients with COVID-19 were higher than that of the control group (8.15 X109/L versus 390 ng/ml and 593 U/L), respectively, and the difference was highly significant (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in WBC count and LDH among patients according to the severity (p > 0.05). A larger leukocyte count, D-Dimer, and LDH increased the risk of death. These signs can reliably predict a patient's prognosis while in the hospital. Our study's best lab marker was LDH.

Published: October 2022

Gastric and ulcer peptic disease is a common disease in the community. Considering the close relationship between peptic ulcer and gastritis caused by Helicobacter pylori. The prevalence of H. pylori increased markedly with age with the maximum colonization (81.5%) occurring in adults (40-60 years). H. pylori are bacteria that can cause an infection in the stomach or duodenum (first part of the small intestine). It’s the most common cause of peptic ulcer disease. H. pylori can also inflame and irritate the stomach lining (gastritis). Untreated, long-term H. pylori infection can lead to stomach cancer (rarely). H. pylori multiply in the mucus layer of the stomach lining and duodenum. The bacteria secrete an enzyme called urease that converts urea to ammonia. This ammonia protects the bacteria from stomach acid. As H. pylori multiply, it eats into stomach tissue, which leads to gastritis and/or gastric ulcer. Symptoms include dull or burning stomach pain, unplanned weight loss and bloody vomit. H-pylori-caused ulcers are commonly treated with combinations of antibiotics. Usually two antibiotics are prescribed. Among the common choices are amoxicillin, clarithromycin (Biaxin®), metronidazole (Flagyl®) and tetracycline and Proton pump inhibitor: Commonly used proton pump inhibitors include lansoprazole (Prevacid®), omeprazole (Prilosec®), pantoprazole (Protonix®), rabeprazole (Aciphex®) or esomeprazole (Nexium®). and Bismuth subsalicylate: Sometimes this drug (eg, Pepto-Bismol®) is added to the antibiotics plus proton pump inhibitor combinations mentioned above. This drug protects the stomach lining. combination treatment is usually taken for 14 days. One newer medication, Talicia®, combines two antibiotics (rifabutin and amoxicillin) with a proton pump inhibitor (omeprazole) into a single capsule.

Authors: Alrudainy Alaa M. , Mshari Ahmed
Published: October 2022

Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) cause potato late blight disease and can infect of roots, tubers, and shoots of the plant. The majority of significant factors in determining the spread of the potato late blight is the cultivation of infected potato tubers and their presence as agricultural plant debris in the agricultural field. Mycelium, zoospores, Oospores, and sporangia, all these structures can make infection, also Oospores with their thick wall can survive for 3 to 4 years under low temperatures. P. infestans responsible to yield losses may arrive at 100% in optimum condition. There are two types of mating patterns for A1 and A2, and this depends on the spread of each type in different environments. This fungus also contains several genetic patterns that have been identified through molecular analysis. The different genotypes in this fungus led to new challenges to make an unstable guideline for the study of virulence and aggressiveness. Different strategies or methods were used to prevent or control late blight disease, included of chemicals, crop rotation, bio-agents, and resistant plants. There are many advantages or disadvantages to each strategy, but several studies mention that using resistant plants and fungicide together on conditions in suitable times and strategies led to perfect effect. This paper investigated in important factors in the spread of late blight disease, and some challenges in this fungus.

Published: October 2022

The clustering of data series was already demonstrated to provide helpful information in several fields. Initial data for the period is divided into sub-clusters Recorded in the data resemblance. The grouping of data series takes 3 categories, based on which users operate in frequencies or programming interfaces on original data explicitly or implicitly with the characteristics derived from physical information or through a framework based on raw material. The bases of series data grouping are provided. The conditions for the evaluation of the outcomes of grouping are multi-purpose time constant frequently employed in dataset grouping research. A clustering method splits data into different groups so that the resemblance between organisations is better. K-means++ offers an excellent convergence rate compared to other methods. To distinguish the correlation between items the maximum distance is employed. Distance measure metrics are frequently utilized with most methods by many academics. Genetic algorithm for the resolution of cluster issues is worldwide optimization technologies in recent times. The much more prevalent partitioning strategies of large volumes of data are K-Median & K-Median methods.

A rational economic person desires to achieve happiness by acting for his or her own benefit. Therefore, the key of human happiness is in the sense of pleasure and satisfaction. The concept of happiness, which has been emphasized more over time, has also started to be discussed frequently in economic terms. The economics of happiness at the focus of these discussions was built on an economy model based on society and nature. It is possible to mention many socioeconomic factors that add value to life and create happiness. Factors such as a clean environment, a good income level, relationships based on trust, healthy and quality life can be described as the causes of happiness. Today, a new social process is mentioned and happiness takes attention as well as technological developments in this society. This study has aimed to investigate the factors associated with happiness in the context of Society 5.0, using the panel data analysis method for 8 OECD countries between the years 2007-2019. In the study, it has been found that there is a statistically significant and positive relationship between GDP per capita and happiness. In addition, it was found that there is a statistically significant and positive relationship between human capital and happiness. It has been determined that there is a significant and positive relationship between renewable energy consumption and happiness. The happiness index, which is the dependent variable in the study, is explained by all other independent variables at the rate of 89 %.

Commonly, herpes simplex virus (HSV) causes infectious encephalitis among children. A neurological relapse after primary HSV encephalitis in the weeks or months after presentation is well recognized. Relapsing symptoms of post-HSV encephalitis can present either as a true relapse or an immune-mediated disorder. A relationship is predicted between immune-mediated disorder and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antibodies. This study presents two cases of patients suffering from anti-NMDAR encephalitis that appeared after treatment for proven HSV encephalitis. The first patient was treated immediately after the presentation as autoimmune encephalitis and had an excellent outcome. The second patient had delayed initiation of treatment and suffered from intractable epilepsy and severe global developmental delay. An important role is played by recognizing anti-NMDAR encephalitis symptoms and its variable presentation for timely diagnosis and quick initiation of treatment for anti-NMDAR encephalitis, thus, improving the outcome for those patients.

Published: October 2022

Although freedom about religion has been guaranteed in Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution, in reality problems in society related to religion still occur, such as insults, degrading the beliefs of a group to problems related to the place of worship of a religion. The constitution, which guarantees freedom of expression, is widely abused so that there are unlawful acts, one of which is blasphemy. Judges with free and independent judicial power or the principle of freedom of judges, play an important role in realizing justice for society. However, the disparity of punishment in blasphemy cases has caused controversy about the freedom of judges who are considered not to meet the sense of justice of society. The focus of this study is on the disparity of punishment in blasphemy cases that go viral on social media. This is a descriptive research with a normative legal approach method (normative juridical) carried out by means of a literature study. The data collection tool used in this study is data in the form of document studies and literature tracing. The analytical knife in research is legislation, legal Grand Theory such as evidentiary theory and legal principles such as the principle of Equality before the Law, the Principle of Fair Trial, the principle of freedom of judges, the principle of contante justitie, the principle of justice, certainty and expediency of law and the principle of Nemo Judex Idoneus In Propria Causa.

          Based on the results of the study, it is understood that the principle of judge freedom is based on a negative evidentiary system, but with their beliefs and freedom, judges in deciding cases are often influenced by the judge's culture, namely the subjectivity of judges and the existence of intervention and intimidation which results in the disparity of punishment in blasphemy cases which is a fairly sensitive issue in Indonesia.

Published: October 2022

Introduction

Sarcoidosis is a disease that results from a combination of environmental and genetic factors. Its genetic basis however, is yet to be clarified. The purpose of this study is to determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the B- cell activating factor (BAFF) and its receptor (BAFF-R) are associated with sarcoidosis.

Material and methods

In the present study 173 with sarcoidosis (42 with cardiac involvement and 131 with pulmonary sarcoidosis) of Greek origin were enrolled. Sarcoidosis diagnosis was set based on clinical and radiological criteria and after excluding other possible causes of granulomatosis in transbronchial biopsies with evidence of noncaseating granulomatosis . All samples were genotyped for the BAFF rs2893321, rs1041569 and rs9514828, and for the BAFF-R rs61756766.

Results

Out of the three BAFF polymorphisms, no genotype had significant association with sarcoidosis, although the T allele in rs1041569 and rs9514828 was over-represented in sarcoidosis patients. A marginally significant association with sarcoidosis was found in the case of the CT genotype and T allele of BAFF-R rs61756766. Haplotype analysis of the BAFF polymorphisms was also performed, revealing an over-representation of the ATT, GTA and GTT haplotypes in the group of patients with cardiac involvement.

Conclusions

Taken together, the results of this study suggest a possible relationship between BAFF SNPs, rs1041569 and rs9514828, and BAFF-R SNP rs61756766 with sarcoidosis susceptibility and the potential of those as biomarkers for the disease.
‘Teâgun kuttiemaûnch: What Food Shall I Prepare for You?’: Exchanges in Early New England Kitchens
Authors: Fisher Julie A.
Published: October 2022

Seventeenth century New England was home to a critical mass of both
English and Indigenous bilinguals, which reveals that these neighbours
lived in intimate proximity to one another for decades and spoke each
other’s languages in ways that directed the politics, trade, and cultural
development of the region. These bilinguals included the more familiar
figures of adult men involved in trading, colonial politics, and missionary
work, but a closer look reveals these bilinguals also included English and
Indigenous women and children. Cooking, both the process and physical
space of the kitchen, was a vital part of their language acquisition. Peering
into the kitchen offers a rare glimpse into the regular interactions between
English and Indigenous men, women, and children on New England’s
borderlands.
Policies and Practice in Language Learning and Teaching

This book brings together studies from Georgia, Germany, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Poland, South Korea, and the UK which explore links between policy and practice in language teaching in the twentieth century. The 14 contributions set out to expand the remit of ‘grounded history’ within the field of History of Language Learning and Teaching (HoLLT) by focusing on language teaching policies and linking these to practices and to contexts, situating policy formulation in particular contexts on the one hand, and exploring the relationship between policy and practice on the other. In this sense, the book shows how the theories, policy pronouncements, curricula, textbooks, and overall teaching approaches which tend to feature in most histories of language teaching always emerge from particular, researchable contexts, and, in the other direction, are interpreted and responded to in practice, again, in particular contexts. In this way, we hope to contribute a context-based perspective that highlights diversity of practices, in opposition to received views that language teaching methodology is ‘universal’ and context-free.
