Published: February 2024

This study aims to find out how the influence of learning motivation on student achievement in school. This research is focused on the teacher's role in fostering student learning motivation. This motivation is very important for improving student learning achievement. Because as is well known, student motivation in learning is lacking. This will affect its success in learning. For this reason, there is a need for efforts by teachers to increase interest in learning and motivate students to be more enthusiastic about achieving in school. The approach taken in this journal research is the approach (library research) which uses literature as its object. From the research of several literatures, the results of this study indicate that learning motivation has an influence on student learning activities, especially on student achievement. The higher the student's motivation, the better the learning achievement. Vice versa, the lower the motivation of student learning, it will be difficult for these students to achieve achievement in learning. The teacher also has a very important role and has an influence on student motivation in school.

Published: February 2024

Innovation in agriculture caused by 4.0 technologies has allowed significant advances in the way of production, in the quality of the final product and in sustainability. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of photoperiod on different lettuce cultivars in indoor hydroponic cultivation with artificial lighting for the production of baby leaves. For this, the lettuce cultivars BSAC0055, BSAC0155 and BSAL0071 were evaluated in an NFT hydroponic system, under a photoperiod of 14,16,18 and 20 hours with photosynthetically active radiation of 248 µmol m-2 s-1. The effects of the cultivar x photoperiod interaction were significant, with cultivars behaving differently for each photoperiod and vice versa. The BSAC0055 cultivar, regardless of the photoperiod, was superior to the others and adapted to indoor cultivation. For cultivars BSAC0055 and BSAC0155, the photoperiod was significant with a quadratic effect for the number of hours/day close to 16 hours and 45 minutes. It is concluded that cultivars have different management and it is possible to select specific cultivars for indoor production; cultivars respond differentially to photoperiods.

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer  in the Northern, North-East and Central East regions of Brazil. It is estimated that in 2023, there were 770 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the State of Pernambuco. This study has sought to correlate conventional cytology with vaginal self-sampling  by making an assessment of means of socio-demographic, socio-cultural and clinical factors. A survey was conducted of 404 women in Pernambuco through self-sampling to ensure that the screening method for cancer was secure. The data showed that 79.9% adopted the self-sampling method with little or no discomfort or pain and without any embarrassment or fear of hurting themselves.  Self-sampling was regarded as more practical because it means that the women can decide to remain at home or attend a laboratory without the usual discomfort  of a conventional examination. Thus self-sampling had a high rate of acceptance among the women who were examined and this suggests that it might be an effective alternative for the screening of cervical cancer.

Published: February 2024

Follicular Lymphoma is a type of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. It is defined as a lymphoma of germinal center B cells and a complex disease involving genetic and epigenetic mutations of Follicular B cell. Some of the commonly known alterations are cell in BCL-2 oncogene and somatically mutated genes. Follicular Lymphoma is the second most prevalent malignancy in the west accounting for about 10-20% of all lymphomas although an alarming rise has been seen in Pakistan as well. A lot of diagnostic challenges are being faced as this disease is indolent and presents atypical features. An effective treatment regime for follicular lymphoma fluctuates depending on the extent of disease and the medical history of the patient. Various methods are available for the risk assessment of the disease. Radiotherapy, rituximab monotherapy or combination therapy are the first line of treatment for restricted spread for follicular lymphoma. For aggressive stage of disease is managed with disease surveillance with imaging and rituximab is given in low grade tumors while chemotherapy and along with immunotherapy is the choice of treatment in high grade tumors. We report a patient here who presented with gross and progressing edema of the right lower limb that started in the foot and progressed proximally up to the thigh. Literature shows that unilateral lymphoedema could be an initial symptom of malignancy and is more common in woman than in males so must be sought as a potential diagnosis.

Published: February 2024

Avascular necrosis of the femoral head is a common cause of musculoskeletal disability, and it presents a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Although patients are initially asymptomatic, avascular necrosis frequently leads to joint destruction, typically before the age of 50. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive, rapid, and compassionate diagnostic tool commonly used by clinicians. This study aims to determine the diagnostic accuracy of X-rays in detecting avascular necrosis of the femoral head, using MRI as the gold standard. This Cross-Sectional Validation Study was conducted at the Department of Radiology, JPMC, Karachi, Pakistan. The study was conducted over six months after the synopsis approval, from November 6, 2021, to May 5, 2022. This study included all patients who met the inclusion criteria and visited the JPMC Hospital in Karachi. After explaining the procedure, risks, and benefits of the study, informed consent was obtained from all patients. All patients underwent X-rays, and those diagnosed with avascular necrosis of the femoral head underwent MRI. The collected data was entered into the attached proforma and used electronically for research. The mean age was 48.8±9.2, with 92 (63.0%) male and 54 (37.0%) female patients. The diagnostic accuracy of the X-ray was 82.88% in detecting avascular necrosis of the femoral head, with sensitivity and specificity of 82.05% and 83.82%, respectively. The positive predictive value (PPV) was 53.42%, and the negative predictive value (NPV) was 80.28%, using MRI findings as the gold standard. In conclusion, the use of X-ray in evaluating avascular necrosis of the femoral head was not helpful and comparable to MRI. Therefore, an MRI should be performed in every case of avascular necrosis of the femoral head to achieve an accurate diagnosis. More prospective and well-controlled trials are required to validate the current findings.

Epilepsy is a chronic disease of the brain characterized by seizures. The currently available anticonvulsants only treat symptoms with serious adverse drug reactions. Therefore, there is need for new therapeutic intervention that will prevent epileptogenesis with greater therapeutic success. Quercetin (QT) is a flavonoid with known neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties. The study aimed to investigate its effects against pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizures. Animals were divided into four groups (n = 10). Group 1(control) only received vehicle (10 mL/kg), group 2 received vehicle, groups 3 and 4 received QT 12.5 mg/kg and 25 mg/kg respectively. Sixty minutes after treatments, animals in groups 2 to 4 were injected with sub-convulsive dose of pentylenetetrazole (35 mg/kg, i.p.) on every alternate day (48±2h) for 21 days. The mice were observed for 30 minutes after each PTZ injection for seizure activity. Brain samples were collected for biochemical assays. Administration of PTZ caused significant increase in the intensity of seizures, neuronal degeneration and level of proinflammatory cytokines in animals compared to control. These behavioural alterations were attenuated significantly by QT (12.5 and 25 mg/kg). The PTZ-induced increase in IL-12, TNF-α and IFN-ɣ were significantly reduced by pre-treatment with the QT (12.5 and 25 mg/kg, p.o). Quercetin also reduced neuronal loss compared to control. Quercetin attenuates seizures in kindled mice and reduces neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. This neuroprotective effect may be attributed to its ability to inhibit inflammatory mediators in the brain

Long-term antiretroviral drug toxicity may exacerbate the impact of HAART-Cyperus esculentus (C. esculentus) interactions on testicular function in HIV-infected individuals. This study examined the ability of C. esculentus plants to treat testicular dysfunction, which is thought to be a probable side effect of antiretroviral toxicity. Adult Wistar male rats weighing 90–110 g were divided into six groups and administered the prescribed treatments. In addition to testicular histology and stereological parameters, testosterone levels, follicle-stimulating hormone levels, antioxidant markers, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione levels were also evaluated. The adverse consequences of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) include considerable loss of germ cells, enlargement of the tubular lumen, widening of interstitial gaps, and severe hypocellularity. Compared to the other treatment groups, MDA levels dramatically increased, whereas GSH and antioxidant enzyme (SOD) levels significantly decreased. Testicular architecture was largely conserved after treatment with C. esculentus, with a notable increase in the cellular densities of germinal and interstitial cells and a notable decrease in the tubular lumen. Vacuolation, architectural malformations, and hypoplastic changes were reduced. Significant improvements were also observed in C. esculentus in terms of elevated antioxidant SOD and GSH levels and decreased MDA levels. C. esculentus reduced architectural distortions and testicular dysfunction caused by HAART, and improved testicular morphology. Further exploration of these pathways is required.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) – unravelling exposure sources and demographical exposure patterns in a Swedish adolescent population
Authors: Nyström-Kandola Jennifer
Published: February 2024

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl acids (PFAS) is a group of anthropogenic substances, with some suspected to cause adverse health effects in humans. Little is known about adolescent exposure to PFAS, thus this thesis focuses on exposure sources and demographical exposure patterns of PFAS in a nationally representative Swedish adolescent (age 10-21 years) population (Riksmaten Adolescents 2016-17). Legacy PFAS, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA), perfluoroundecanoic acid (PFUnDA), perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) were detected in serum from 70-100% of the participants (n=1098). Concentrations of PFOA, PFHxS and PFOS in serum increased with increased concentrations in drinking water (DW). Even though median PFAS concentrations in DW were as low as <1 ng/L, DW appeared as an important exposure source. Participants adhering to a diverse and healthy diet had higher PFNA, PFDA, PFUnDA and PFOS concentrations in serum than those that did not. This association was likely driven by a higher seafood consumption as a part of the healthy diet, supporting the notion that diet, apart from DW, is an important exposure source. Serum PFAS levels were on average highest among participants born in countries with high per capita income as compared to those born in low income countries. Conclusively, PFAS are chemicals of the industrialised world, with DW and seafood emerging as important exposure sources for adolescents. The findings of this thesis are important to consider in future risk assessments, as well as in studies of PFAS exposure and adolescent health.

The extreme weather condition El Nino can cause Indonesia to experience a prolonged dry season, while La Nina causes a prolonged rainy season. These conditions affect the availability of water in oil palm plantations and affect the physiological processes of oil palm. This research aims to compare the NDVI index and SAVI index using Landsat 8 satellite imagery in the oil palm plantations of PT. Wanapotensi Guna during El Nino and La Nina. Landsat 8 satellite imagery recorded in August 2019 describes El Nino conditions and recorded in August 2020 describes La Niña conditions in the study area were downloaded from the USGS website. The NDVI and SAVI indices were analyzed using ArcGIS 10.5 software. The research results show the value of the NDVI index and SAVI index in the oil palm plantation area of ​​PT. Wanapotesi Guna has a value that is not much different in El Nino and La Nina conditions. The NDVI index value in El Nino conditions has a range of 0.07-0.46 and in La Nina conditions has a range of 0.13-0.44. Likewise, the SAVI index value in El Nino conditions has a range of 0.11-0.70 and in La Nina conditions has a range of 0.20-0.69. So it can be concluded that the NDVI index and SAVI index obtained from Landsat 8 satellite imagery cannot describe significant differences in index values ​​in oil palm plantation areas due to differences in the extreme weather conditions of El Nino and La Nina.

2023/22 Limits for determining types of work in a collective agreement that justify the chaining of fixed-term employment (SK)

The Supreme Court of the Slovak Republic (Najvyšší súd Slovenskej republiky) has ruled that the situations described in a collective agreement which justify a further extension of a fixed-term employment relationship must justify the temporary nature of their performance. The collective agreement must also specify the reasons for the temporary need to carry out those works. It is not allowed that the employer states in the employment contract the reason for the renewal of the fixed-term employment relationship merely by reference to the fact that the employee is performing the works defined in the collective agreement without stating a substantive reason satisfying the justification for doing so.

2023/28 Break times under ‘stand-by duty’: working time or not? (GE)

2023/28 Break times under ‘stand-by duty’: working time or not? (GE)

The German Federal Administrative Court (Bundesverwaltungsgericht, ‘BVerwG’) has held that break times under stand-by duty are not automatically classified as working time within the meaning of Article 2(1) of the Working Time Directive 2003/88/EC (the ‘Directive’).

Qualifying stand-by duty as working time requires that the worker’s obligation to be on call significantly restricts their possibilities to freely organize the time in which their professional services are not needed and to pursue their own interests from an objective point of view. This must be assessed in each individual case.

According to the BVerwG, Section 5(2) Sentence 1 No. 2 of the Working Hours Ordinance (Arbeitszeitverordnung, ‘AZV’) which regulates the crediting of break times to working hours is, in its current version, incompatible with the concept of working time under Union law within the meaning of Article 2(1) of the Directive and therefore must not be applied.

2023/29 Labour Tribunal of Brussels rules out dismissal for serious cause based on whistleblower protection prior to the implementation of the Whistleblowing Directive (BE)

A worker involved in the EU-funded ‘Turkey III’ project acted as a whistleblower, alerting to potential passive corruption with an audit contract, at a time when Belgian law had not implemented Directive (EU) 2019/1937 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law (the ‘Whistleblowing Directive’). The Labour Tribunal of Brussels recognized her whistleblower status and deemed her dismissal for serious cause retaliatory and so manifestly unreasonable.

‘Nesting’ as a legal issue – Polish example with comparison to other jurisdictions

The phenomenon of ‘nesting’, which is of international importance, delays the entry of young people into adulthood. Thus, they start families later, which results in changes in the demographic and sociological structure of the society. Therefore, taking into account that nesting is a legal problem, it should be considered whether reducing the scale of this phenomenon requires changes in the law (both in individual countries and in European law). The article indicates exemplary research areas that may be analyzed in order to assess the current legal situation of adult children living with their parents or one of them. The aim of the article is also to draw attention to the different levels of nesting in individual countries and to reflect on whether the differences appearing in the legal systems of individual countries and the solutions adopted in them affect the scale of nesting.

Zij zijn ook voorstander van de uitbreiding van weigerings- en intrekkingsgronden door de Wet integere bedrijfsvoering zorg- en jeugdhulpaanbieders (Wibz), omdat het eenvoudiger zal worden om niet-integere en malafide zorgaanbieders te weren uit de zorgsector.
Research on Community Building in China, from the Perspective of Community Empowerment
Authors: Zhao Yixuan
Published: February 2024

The official document of the 19th National Congress of the ruling party highly stresses the strategy of rural revitalization for the first time, calling for more attention to the crisis of rural communities. This provides a political agenda to promote rural planning lacking local extensive participation. While most research concerning the rural community involvement in governance and building is focused on the improvement of professional planning methods and techniques spatially, little attention is on the motivations and abilities to participate in the community. The empowerment theory, rooted in the American environment in the 1970s, provides a new perspective for inspiring the enthusiasm of vulnerable groups to participate in the community and improving their ability to participate. The purpose of this dissertation is to discuss how to improve community construction in China from the perspective of empowerment theory.

BACKGROUND
The importance of early intravenous (IV) antibiotic use for Mycobacterium abscessus complex lung diseases (MABC-LD) treatment remains unknown.

METHODS
A retrospective multi-centre
observational study was conducted in Taiwan. Patients who were diagnosed with and received treatment for MABC-LD from January 2007 to April 2021 were included. Treatment outcome was defined as modified microbiological cure of MABC-LD.

RESULTS
Of
the 89 enrolled patients, 34 (38.2%) received IV antibiotics as part of the treatment regimen. The median time to IV initiation was 1 day (IQR 1–49); 24 (70.6%) of these patients received IV agents within 4 weeks, defined as early-use. Forty-two (47.2%) patients achieved modified microbiological
cure. In the multivariable logistic analysis, early IV antibiotic use was an independent factor associated with modified microbiological cure (aOR 5.32, 95% CI 1.66–17.00), whereas high radiological score (aOR 0.86, 95% CI 0.73–1.00) demonstrated negative association.

CONCLUSIONS
In
the present study, early use of effective IV antibiotic was prescribed in a low percentage (27%) for MABC-LD. By contrast, early IV antibiotic use was correlated with higher microbiological cure than were late or non-use. Future larger and prospective studies are needed to validate the association.

BACKGROUND
Following the WHO’s announcement in 2018, the use of new drugs was recommended for all patients with multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) in Korea. This study aimed to evaluate adherence to new anti-TB drug regimens and implementation
of molecular drug susceptibility testing (mDST) in Korea.

METHODS
Nationwide, 560 patients were reported as having MDR-TB in 2021. The implementation of mDST and new anti-TB drug use were analysed. The discrepancy between mDST
and phenotypic DST (pDST) results and their implications on the use of new anti-TB drugs were also analysed. The use of novel anti-TB drugs has been approved by the National TB Expert Committee.

RESULTS
The non-adherence rate
in MDR-TB patients was 14.3%. The mDST implementation rate was 96.1%. Of the 459 patients who underwent both mDST and pDST, the discordance rate for rifampicin (RIF) resistance was 22.6% (n = 104), of which 72.1% (n = 75) were resistant on mDST but susceptible on pDST. The discrepancy
in mDST and pDST results related to RIF resistance was found to be the main cause of non-adherence to new drug regimen.

CONCLUSION
Comprehensive training on how to interpret conflicting results between mDST and pDST could enhance
the utilisation of new drugs in the treatment of MDR/RIF-resistant TB.
Measuring cough-related quality of life and cough frequency in pulmonary TB
Authors: Turner R. D. , Birring S. S. , Bothamley G. H.
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND
Cough is the key symptom of pulmonary TB (PTB) and is associated with transmission. No tool for measuring the subjective impact of cough in PTB has been previously validated. We sought to measure patient-reported cough in
PTB and investigate any relationship to objectively quantified daily cough frequency.

METHODS
The validity of the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) was assessed in sequential patients newly diagnosed with PTB at a UK hospital.
Resulting LCQ scores were compared to non-cough clinical variables, and to 24-h, ambulatory, objective cough frequency measured using the Leicester Cough Monitor.

RESULTS
The LCQ in 30 patients with PTB was acceptable to users
and had high internal reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.93), concurrent validity (correlation with visual analogue scale for cough severity, Spearman’s ρ = –0.69) and responsiveness (substantial median increase score after 2 weeks of TB treatment: 5.1 points, IQR 1.8–9.7;
P = 0.003). There was only moderate correlation between patient-reported cough and objectively-measured 24-h cough frequency in PTB (ρ = –0.48, P = 0.008).

CONCLUSION
The LCQ is valid for use in PTB, with
applications that include monitoring treatment of the disease. However, there was a mismatch between objective and subjective assessment of cough, which has important implications for delayed diagnosis and transmissibility.
O método dialético e a geografia: uma contribuição desde Milton Santos
Authors: Correia José Leandro Fernandes dos Santos
Published: February 2024

O presente artigo busca discorrer sobre a aplicação do método dialético nas ciências humanas, com base mais especificamente na influência que ele exerceu nos estudos geográficos de Milton Santos (2006; 1992), quando esse autor definiu propostas teóricas para entender o mundo nas suas especificidades. Tal compreensão, se dá a partir de uma atualização de conceitos e categorias para o entendimento da realidade. A operacionalização das reflexões aqui realizadas encontra sustentação, por exemplo, nas proposições reveladas pelos pares dialéticos que Milton Santos desenvolveu, tais como: densidade, rarefação; espaços luminosos, espaços opacos. Na metodologia, utiliza-se pesquisa bibliográfica e elaboração de quadros e esquemas para ampliar as discussões e representar os principais achados encontrados, respectivamente. De início, procura-se demonstrar como, ao longo do pensamento filosófico e sociológico, o método foi utilizado. Na sequência, destaca-se como Milton Santos apresenta inúmeras contribuições para os estudos geográficos, à luz de uma proposta que reflete sobre a ação dos agentes hegemônicos e as resistências que os povos constroem para sobreviverem. Assim, foi possível pensar na totalidade do método geográfico do autor em questão, além de aludir sobre como os movimentos da sociedade atribuem novas funções às formas geográficas (forma-conteúdo), perfazendo uma dialética entre sociedade e espaço.

A democracia é construída no cenário educativo pela participação ativa e responsável dos estudantes e da comunidade. O objetivo do estudo foi apresentar e discutir a realização de assembleias e tutorias como práticas democráticas em escolas de Ensino Fundamental na rede pública de Manaus, Amazonas. Participaram da pesquisa quatro gestoras de escolas, previamente selecionadas, partícipes do processo de implementação da Educação Integral, no período de 2016 a 2021. Utilizamos, como instrumentos de coleta de dados, entrevistas semiestruturadas, submetidas à análise de conteúdo, pelo uso das etapas cronológicas definidas por Bardin (2011), e embasados na filosofia de John Dewey (1979). A análise dos resultados das categorias sugere que as assembleias promoveram maior autonomia e engajamento, e desenvolveu o trabalho em equipe, possibilitando o direito a escolhas e tomadas de decisões, por meio de diálogos socializados coletivamente entre as crianças e os profissionais do ensino. Como resultado, notamos que as tutorias proporcionam maior aproximação entre o docente e o estudante, possibilitando uma reflexão acerca das diversas culturas presentes no ambiente escolar, pela busca da inserção democrática através do respeito e do reconhecimento da diversidade de contextos.

O presente relato descreve uma experiência interdisciplinar de atendimento em Pilates realizada por acadêmicos de fisioterapia e educação física, supervisionados por docentes, no âmbito do Programa de Educação pelo Trabalho para a Saúde (PET-Saúde). Durante seis meses, o projeto atendeu a comunidade em uma universidade do Baixo Amazonas, aplicando o método Pilates uma vez por semana. Dividido em treinamento, avaliação e execução, o projeto envolveu quatro acadêmicos de cada área, dois tutores e dois coordenadores. Os participantes passaram por avaliação interdisciplinar, sendo direcionados para acadêmicos de fisioterapia em casos mais complexos e para educação física em situações mais independentes. O atendimento individualizado, orientado por professores tutores, incorporou princípios do Pilates, enfatizando qualidade de movimento. Ao término do projeto, obteve-se feedback positivo da comunidade atendida e dos envolvidos. A abordagem interdisciplinar evidenciou benefícios do Pilates, como melhoria da flexibilidade, força e equilíbrio. Além disso, destacou-se a complementaridade entre fisioterapia e educação física, ressaltando a importância da interação entre disciplinas na formação acadêmica. A experiência apontou para a eficácia da colaboração multiprofissional, contribuindo não apenas para a saúde dos participantes, mas também enriquecendo a formação dos acadêmicos envolvidos. O relato sugere a continuidade de estudos na temática para aprimorar a gestão e assistência no âmbito do PET-Saúde.
