The Boston College Capstone Program: Formation and Function of a Holistic General Education Cumulative Experience
Authors: Weiss James M. , Kirkscey Russell , Vale Julie
Published: June 2023

This essay discusses Boston College’s Capstone Program (BCCP), a distinctive experience with a thirty-two-year history. Unlike capstones focused on specialized projects, often in the student’s major, BCCP has helped seniors integrate their entire academic and personal growth. Additionally, the article describes BCCP’s historic models, holistic goals, course designs, faculty formation, administrative support, and impacts. It also offers recommendations for founding or extending general education capstones. BCCP comprises 25 or more seminars available to all seniors. Instructors from over 20 departments in Humanities, Sciences, Education, Management, and Nursing use materials and methods from their specializations, but do so to explore larger life purposes for students from any major. Examples from several disciplines are offered. Focusing on personal development, each seminar proceeds by review and preview: students review their agency in their educations and preview long-term goals. Demand for seminars has remained high: students praise them among their most significant college experiences. Regular faculty communication has ensured BCCP’s vitality, including annual retreats on pedagogy and shared oversight of new seminar proposals. BCCP has enjoyed substantial administration support, providing a program director with stipend and course reduction. As a signature element of Boston College’s curriculum, BCCP has also generated formative curricula for freshmen.

The current research in meat products has been aimed to obtain healthier proposals because of the change in the lifestyle and routine of the population. This new point of view has also changed the industry perspective: they are focusing on reformulation to obtain a portfolio of meat products with a healthier appeal. The process of redefining a traditional formulation can negatively affect the acceptance of the meat product (i.e., taste and appearance). However, researchers reported positive effects in this strategy of reformulations (i.e., added value increase, healthiness, and nutritional enrichment of the product). Sodium reduction, saturated fat reduction, chemical additives reduction, dietary fiber addition, addition of vegetable oils, and probiotic addition are examples of already tested and documented reformulation strategies of fermented meat products. The application of one strategy in a traditional product is a challenge. However, the simultaneous use of two or more strategies is more complex. Thus, the aim of this review was to explain the technological and sensorial benefits and challenges of the application of dietary fibers in meat products submitted to two or more reformulation strategies.
Cement pulmonary embolism as a complication of percutaneous vertebroplasty in a patient with follicular lymphoma
Authors: Guerra Mariana , Peixoto João , Marado Daniela
Published: June 2023

Vertebroplasty involves injecting a cement polymer, often polymethylmethacrylate (PMA), into the vertebral body under imaging guidance to increase stability. However, the high vascularization and anatomical network of the paravertebral and extradural venous plexuses can allow the migration of cement particles into the systemic venous circulation regardless of whether spinal compression or fractures occur during or are present prior to the treatment. This case report presents a 42-year-old female patient who visited the emergency room with symptoms of cough, nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, and dyspnea and had a history of follicular non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma under rituximab treatment. Imaging revealed a cement embolism in the pulmonary artery tree, most likely caused by prior vertebroplasty. Anticoagulation was started despite the lack of hypoxemia due to the inorganic character of the embolic substance and the patient’s immunosuppressed status. The embolic debris was still present on subsequent imaging, but the patient’s condition remained stable, with some signs of illness remission. This case highlights the importance of considering cement embolism as a possible vertebroplasty complication and the importance of properly assessing and managing such cases, particularly in patients with underlying medical issues, as well as the need for the development of a standard protocol of sequential chest X-rays after the procedure and possible alternatives to PMA.

Increasing water shortage has compelled farmers to develop plans for efficient use of water resources. The improvement in water use efficiency at the field level is very important and can redress water scarcity. LASER land leveling is increasing quickly in the world to increase water use efficiency. However, in developing countries, the practice of LASER leveling is to level land or field with zero (0 %) gradient due to unawareness of gradient-based land leveling while a small gradient (e.g., 0.1 %) is usually kept during land leveling in developed countries of the world. But farmers of developing countries are not well, therefore, an experiment was conducted in farmers’ fields covering an area of 3 acres in south Punjab of Pakistan to assess the LASER leveling with a 0 % and 0.05 % grade and general farmer’s practice of leveling. Land leveling with LASER using a 0.05 % gradient considerably decreased the amount of irrigation water and/or enhanced water use efficiency by increasing crop yield followed by LASER leveling with a 0 % gradient. Similarly, with a 0.05 % gradient, bolls per plant and final cotton yield increased considerably followed by a 0 % gradient while minimum bolls per plant and cotton yield were obtained from the farmer’s practice of leveling. LASER land leveling with a 0.05 % gradient resulted in higher net benefit due to increased yield and a considerable decrease in irrigation amount that significantly improved use efficiency. The outcomes suggest that benefits from land leveling with LASER keeping a 0.05 % gradient are significantly higher when compared with 0 % gradient and/or farmers’ practice of leveling.

Este estudo tem o objetivo de apresentar as marcas/sinais das violências encontradas dentro de diferentes modalidades esportivas, para tecer reflexões específicas, buscando uma visão global sobre eles, a partir dos relatos de atletas e técnicos sobre as suas vivências/experiências nas respectivas funções. A pesquisa utilizou uma abordagem qualitativa e o paradigma indiciário para analisar os registros obtidos a partir de entrevistas. Foram encontradas cinco marcas de violências: relacionamentos profissionais abusivos acompanhados de assédio sexual; estereótipos preconceituosos acerca da figura do atleta; técnicos e atitudes violentas como elemento de treinamento; a torcida como elemento gerador de violências na arquibancada e agressão física como elemento intrínseco ao esporte. Os resultados apontam para a construção de reflexões, que independentemente do gênero, atletas sofrem com as violências. Os esportes compartilham marcas de violências, mas cada um com sua particularidade devido a sua dinâmica.

The health emergency (Covid 19, 2020-2021) was an event that affected teaching practice in almost the entire world, including Africa and Brazil. It also highlighted the differences between social strata. It was no different in the east zone of Manaus, one of the poorest regions of the Amazonian capital. It was also like this in Nampula, in the north of Mozambique. In both locations there are precarious schools and students from needy families. In such conditions, teachers had to overcome major challenges brought about by the pandemic, adapting their practices to a new reality, that of Emergency Remote Teaching - ERE, a significant change in the way of teaching. In this context, a reflective analysis was carried out on remote teaching as an evolution in the way of teaching adopted during the pandemic period. The difficulties that teachers had to practice teaching during the adoption of the ERE are discussed, emphasizing the difficulties associated with the particular socioeconomic conditions of the East Zone of Manaus, capital of the State of Amazonas. It is a reflection on the future of teaching in formal education, considering several studies that addressed the new methods, developed, or that gained notoriety from the adoption of the ERE. Furthermore, the question remains: how will society be able to reduce inequalities in education, evidenced and accentuated by the pandemic?

Published: June 2023

Indonesia is a country with a low level of participation in routine health checks, one of which is influenced by gender issues. An independent survey involving 9,612 respondents from all over Indonesia stated that 70% of Indonesians had never done a blood test. Housewives are considered unemployed, and they are considered to have no behavioral strength to decide independently about their health needs. This research aims to analyze the determinants of health behavior that influence housewives for routine monitoring of blood glucose, uric acid, and cholesterol level. This research method is an observational correlation, with a cross-sectional approach where researchers use questionnaires to 22 respondents (housewives) using purposive sampling. The results indicate that the support of people around is significant to the behavior of routine monitoring of blood glucose, uric acid, and cholesterol levels in housewives (p= 0.035; p<0.05). Meanwhile, attitude towards and ease of access is insignificant (p>0.05). The support of people around is crucial in fostering a consistent habit of monitoring blood glucose, uric acid, and cholesterol levels among housewives.

Exclusive breastfeeding in the world is still very low. Various obstacles can arise in providing exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of a baby's life. This causes a lack of provision of nutrients to infants, which can cause infant death. In a preliminary study conducted in the Postpartum Room at Bhayangkara Lumajang Hospital in February 2022, based on the results of interviews with 10 normal postpartum mothers, it was found that postpartum mothers complained that their milk did not come out and was not smooth and felt that their milk production was lacking, especially on the first day of the baby's birth. This study aimed to analyze the effect of oxytocin massage on breast milk production in postpartum mothers at Bhayangkara Lumajang Hospital. This type of research is pre-experiment by designing one group pre-post test design. Sampling using the method of simple random sampling with a sample of 36 respondents was carried out in August 2022. The instrument used for data collection was a checklist sheet. The results showed that almost all 36 respondents to produce milk after having oxytocin massage for postpartum mothers at Bhayangkara Lumajang Hospital in 2022 were in the current category with a total of 33 respondents (91.7%). It obtained a p-value=0.000, which means that oxytocin massage affects breast milk production (ASI) in postpartum mothers at Bhayangkara Lumajang Hospital.

Published: June 2023

Introducción: los quistes adrenales son poco comunes, en especial los de tipo funcional, ya que solo se hallaron 3 casos reportados en la literatura.
Objetivo: presentar un caso clínico de un paciente con hiperaldosteronismo asociado a un quiste adrenal.
Presentación del caso: paciente masculino de 39 años con hipertensión arterial desde los 38 años al cual se le deciden realizar estudios de hipertensión secundaria, encontrando como hallazgo positivo hiperaldosteronismo primario en la evaluación inicial. Se realizó confirmación bioquímica con test de supresión con solución con un posterior hallazgo de adenoma adrenal izquierdo de baja densidad en TAC de abdomen contrastado, por lo que fue llevado a que se le realizara una adrenalectomía laparoscópica con curación bioquímica, según evaluación a los cuatro meses postoperatorios sin uso de antihipertensivos.
Discusión y conclusión: los quistes adrenales generalmente se presentan unilateralmente con diferentes categorías histopatológicas, además, lo usual es que sean no funcionales. El hiperaldosteronismo primario es una causa común de hipertensión secundaria y puede estar asociado a complicaciones cardiovasculares. Su diagnóstico se basa en la medición de aldosterona y renina en sangre y confirmación bioquímica, con posterior evaluación de localización, incluyendo, en la mayoría de los casos, cateterismo de venas suprarrenales para determinar la causa subyacente.
Nuestro paciente constituye el cuarto caso publicado en la literatura sobre un quiste con sobreproducción hormonal confirmado bioquímicamente, lo cual es importante para no descartar la presencia de quistes como posible etiología de producción hormonal que, si bien no es lo más común, es posible encontrarlos.

Published: June 2023

The continuous electrocoagulation (CEC) technique, which uses aluminium (Al) as an electrode material, is examined in this work for the treatment of highly toxic pulp and papermill effluents. The process optimization was done with respect to the flow rates (L h−1) and residence time (τ) of wastewater which resulted in the excellent removal of Total solids (TS), colour and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). The removal rate of COD was 94.4 and 93.1% at the optimal flow rates of 0.5 and 1.0 dm3 h−1, correspondingly, whereas the colour removal rate was 91.6 and 83.6%. There was gradual decrease in the pH of the effluent during the process due to the production of aluminium hydroxides in variable oxidation states. Variation in the cell voltage during the electrolysis has also been studied. TDS of effluent was also decreased by a factor of 93% after 4 h residence time at a flow rate of 0.5 dm3 h−1. With a variation in flow rates, electrode degradation and consumption were also examined.

The three steps of the scale development procedure were as follows: designing the listening style-related items based on Kinsella's Perceptual Learning Preferences Survey (1995); revising the items in line with professional advice; carrying out two pilot studies at different times and establishing a reliability study. First, exploratory factor analysis was conducted. Based on the analysis, a total of 17 items were determined in four dimensions: visual, spatial, auditory, and bottom-up styles. The total variance explained was found to be 48.82%. In terms of reliability studies, the scale's Cronbach's alpha reliability was .76, and for its subscales, it was .70 for visual style, .71 for spatial style, .59 for auditory style, and .46 for bottom-up style.

Current developments in energy policies around the world and the associated challenges of future sustainability in relation to climate change and the requirement to achieve a minimal to neutral carbon footprint pose serious challenges to solutions for modern transport and mobility infrastructures. The alarming state of fossil fuel depletion and the increasing awareness of worsening climate conditions is clearly leading to the adoption of alternative energy technologies. Among the technologies developed are mass and individual means of transport for people and goods, such as the electric vehicle (EV), which is fast becoming part of the modern transport system. This paper deals in a focused and clear way with the outlined topic mainly with the sources of electrical energy for EVs and their devices - charging stations and especially with the issue of current and planned development, implementation and characteristics of these charging stations in the under-construction user network of the Slovak Republic.
Kuruluşundan Bugüne Lübnan Hizbullah’ı: Lübnan’a Verdikleri ve Lübnan’dan Aldıkları
Authors: Acar Özlem
Published: June 2023

Bu çalışmada Hizbullah’ın, Lübnan’da 1982’de kuruluşundan itibaren, ülkenin iç ve dış politika sahnelerinde oynadığı rol, aldığı kararlar, bu kararların Lübnan’a etkileri ve tüm bu bileşenlerin Lübnan’ın günümüzdeki pozisyonunun oluşmasına katkıları incelenmektedir. Lübnan iktidarda etkin pozisyonda olan siyasi elitlerin tercihleri doğrultusunda; mezhepsel ayrımların dengeli bir şekilde sürdürülmesi esasında kadrolaşma gerçekleştirilerek yönetilmeye, buna karşılık Lübnanlı üst kimliği korunurken zayıf merkezi devlet yapısı göz ardı edilerek varlığı sürdürülmeye çalışılan bir ülkedir. Ancak Lübnan gibi çok sayıda farklı mezhebin bulunduğu bir ülkede sistemsel olarak taban düzeyinde var olan zararsız ayrılıklar, bazı mezhepleri temsil eden oluşumların güç kazanmasıyla siyasi sorunlar haline getirilerek belirginleştirilmekte ve sistemin tümünü tehdit eder hale gelmektedir. Bu koşullara bağlı olarak; denetim mekanizmalarında bütünlük sağlanamaması, üst kimliğin tam anlamıyla yerleşememesi ve birbirini izleyen krizlerin yaşanması sebepleriyle Hizbullah gibi devlet altı bir aktörün, sahip olduğu gücün ve ülkedeki otorite boşluğunun etkisiyle çoğu zaman devlet üstü bir role soyunduğu izlenmektedir. Bu çalışmada araştırma ve görüşme bulguları sonucunda kuruluşundan günümüze Lübnan’da yaşanan en önemli olaylarda kilit pozisyonda bulunan Hizbullah’ın manevralarının, Lübnan siyasal, sosyal ve ekonomik yapısına etkileri ele alınırken, silahlı, sosyal, ekonomik ve siyasi gücüyle iç politikada belirleyici, dış politikada ise karar alıcı pozisyona gelme süreci de incelenmiştir.

Introdução: Acne vulgar é uma doença dermatológica crônica que afeta o folículo pilossebáceo, podendo ser causada por fatores hormonais, estresse e falta de limpeza. O tratamento de graus leves e moderados pode ser realizado com procedimentos minimamente invasivos através de protocolos de limpeza e aplicação de ácidos. Objetivo: Demonstrar a importância dos protocolos de limpeza e pele associados a peelings químicos no tratamento da acne e sequelas. Metodologia: Revisão narrativa de literatura com levantamento bibliográfico realizado nas bases de dados National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health (PubMED),    Scientific  Electronic Library Online (SciELO) e Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), onde foram incluídos artigos publicados entre 2017 e 2023. Resultados: A limpeza de pele associada com peelings químicos, principalmente dos ácidos salicílico, glicólico, mandélico e retinóico já foi demonstrada ser eficaz no tratamento de casos de acne e sequelas, através da desobstrução e limpeza dos poros afetados, ativação da renovação celular, despigmentação e remoção/redução do excesso da produção sebácea, promovendo efeitos microbicidas e anti-inflamatórios. Conclusão: A limpeza de pele com posterior aplicação de ácidos é indispensável para prevenção e controle da acne, no entanto, cabe ressaltar que esses produtos devem ser utilizados com cautela, pois podem agravar ainda mais os casos.

A confiança nas informações das mídias sociais está ganhando importância e relevância tanto para grandes empresas quanto para indivíduos empreendedores, pois a sociedade contemporânea vista como sociedade da informação, se depara com uma onda de notícias falsas sobre situações da vida cotidiana, marcas, organizações, etc. e para determinar sua origem ou fonte, bem como para poder checar as informações espalhadas por diferentes sites de redes sociais, as empresas devem entender como aprimorar o uso da mídia social, permitindo verificar, avaliar, enfrentar e transformar corretamente o cenário das informações on-line. Questiona-se a importância do gerenciamento de riscos nos casos de fake news nas empresas. Do ponto de vista gerencial, tanto as empresas quanto as autoridades responsáveis devem considerar o impacto e a relevância das notícias falsas compartilhadas nas redes sociais. Devem também, por meio de uma comunicação adequada, fomentar a opinião positiva dos consumidores sobre empresas e marcas, além de também oferecer informações relevantes para que os indivíduos possam encontrar a fonte da informação e evitar a disseminação de notícias falsas nas redes sociais. Deste modo, a análise e gerenciamento de riscos aplicado as informações de gestão é de grande necessidade para qualquer negócio, existindo os mais diversos riscos quando se fala do meio empresarial. A Gestão de Riscos perante a crescente desinformação serve para antecipar ou prever um cenário de perdas futuras, o que é de suma importância em uma empresa, principalmente diante de tantos dados que demonstram como os riscos ocasionam prejuízos.

Os óleos essenciais são substâncias naturais, derivadas de plantas aromáticas que são utilizados na confecção de diversos cosméticos. Um óleo essencial pode conter variados constituintes, entre eles enfatiza-se os terpenos, um composto químico presente em diversas plantas responsável por produzir odor e sabor. Um exemplo é o óleo essencial de eucaliptol, um composto retirado de plantas como eucalipto que possui diversas propriedades terapêuticas. Os terpenos se apresentam sob diversas formas, entre elas evidencia-se os monoterpenos, substâncias orgânicas que gradualmente vem sendo mais utilizadas como forma de tratamento complementar para diversas patologias. O 1,8-cineol ou eucaliptol é um monoterpeno extraído principalmente de plantas como os eucaliptos (mas também da canela, do gengibre, do alecrim, da hortelã e da menta) que possui diversas propriedades anti-inflamatórias, analgésicas, relaxamento do músculo esquelético e também anti-hipertensivas, como já evidenciado em outros estudos. Sendo ainda capaz de contribuir positivamente para patologias como bronquite asmática, inflamação da mucosa nasal,  inflamação da região dos seios paranasais do nariz e na hipertensão. À vista disso, o estudo do eucaliptol mostra-se importante, visto que fitoterápicos estão sendo mais utilizados no mercado farmacêutico. Nessa perspectiva, o presente trabalho tem como propósito indicar, por intermédio de uma análise in sílico, as particularidades farmacodinâmicas e farmacocinéticas dessa molécula. Foram reunidos dados de artigos científicos pesquisados nas bases de dados PubMed e SciELO, além da pesquisa feita com os softwares SwissADME, Smartcyp e também Swiss Target Prediction. Concluiu-se que este monoterpeno possui potencial farmacológico, evidenciando ser uma substância benéfica que demanda por mais estudos.

Los y las terapeutas ocupacionales debemos reflexionar constantemente sobre si estamos utilizando las mejores prácticas con nuestros clientes, reflexionando y siendo críticos con respecto a si, realmente, estamos acompañando a los niños y niñas y a sus familias para que logren “ser, hacer y llegar a hacer”. Nuestra misión es facilitarles el camino para conseguir la vida que realmente quieren tener y que les haga felices. De esta forma, me gustaría que los compañeros y compañeras que nos desempeñamos (o hemos desempeñado) en infancia, hiciéramos ciertas reflexiones y/o cuestionamientos.
