PROFESSIONAL DEFORMATION OF PSYCHIATRISTS IN THE PERCEPTIONS OF MEDICAL STUDENTS AND PRACTICING DOCTORS
Authors: POTAPOVA Yu.V. , BRYUKHANOVA Yu.S. , IVANOVA G.A.
Published: November 2024

The article examines the issue of students' and doctors' ideas about the signs of professional deformation of psychiatrists. It was found that students of different courses focus on different aspects of deformation, and this mostly reflects the peculiarities of undergoing professional training. Younger students imagine deformation as excessive coldness, detachment of a doctor, middle-aged students use ideas about excessive involvement in activities, and older students operate with the concepts of cynicism and emotional coldness. These same parameters are mostly mentioned by doctors themselves, who are asked about the deformation of their personality under the influence of their profession.

Development of Costing Model for Butt Joint Process using Mild Steel with Robotic GMAW: A Malaysian Context
Authors:   College of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam, Selangor, MALAYSIA, Manurung Y.H.P
Published: November 2024

This paper is about the development of a costing model aimed at determining the pricing strategy for a component manufactured through the welding process. Cost estimation in welding processes is crucial for industries due to various influencing factors like welding time, length, and joint type. Calculating welding costs involves considering various methods and factors. One method compares theoretical filling metal amounts with on-site welding material consumption, factoring in the welding difficulty coefficient. Additionally, Time Driven Activity Based Costing (TDABC) is one of the costing methods used to analyze input data and estimate welding costs accurately and efficiently, specifically in the GMAW process. Moreover, a comprehensive costing model developed by ESAB incorporates variables such as labor costs, electrode expenses, shielding gas usage, and overall power costs. In this paper, the selected welding design configuration is a double Vgroove butt joint using mild steel, ER70S-3 as filler wire, and S235 mild steel as substrate. Based on the chosen design, the welding cost model will be developed to analyze the cost of the butt joint welding process based on timedriven activity-based costing (TDABC) method. The outcome of this study is the total cost to manufacture the Double V-Groove butt joint project in terms of materials, labor, and equipment. Furthermore, subsequent efforts will be directed toward systematically enhancing the welding cost model to include a broader spectrum of materials, various part dimensions, and differing deposition rates.

Published: November 2024

Catheter ablation is the first-line therapy for symptomatic atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT). Pseudo-refractory AVRT may stem from misdiagnosis, use of inadequate ablation methods, or the presence of additional concealed or unusual located pathways that initiate or sustain the tachycardia. We present a case of right atrial appendage accessory pathway—a rare and overlooked cause of AVRT—to illustrate the importance of raising suspicion for this condition when standard mapping and ablation around the tricuspid valve annulus fail to eliminate pathway conduction. Furthermore, we present a straightforward, effective approach for localizing the pathway site and safely performing irrigated ablation at the base of the right atrial appendage.

Published: November 2024

This article aims to examine and analyze the phenomenon of prostitution services and evaluate the effectiveness of criminalizing users of prostitution services in reducing current prostitution practices. The article is written using a legal, empirical, and comparative approach, with data based on secondary sources. The analysis results indicate that prostitution can be fundamentally interpreted as the commercialization of sexual relationships, where an individual provides sexual services to another in exchange for money. In the present era, many studies emphasize the significant meaning of criminalizing users of prostitution services, as exemplified by the measures taken in Sweden. However, despite Sweden's attempt to criminalize by imposing fines on users of prostitution services, the practice of prostitution persists. Criminalization can lead to new issues, such as the emergence of human trafficking practices and an increase in the spread of HIV due to inadequate supervision of covert prostitution practices.

Published: November 2024

OBJECTIVE

The primary aims were to provide descriptive data on systemic and ocular complications associated with the treatment of equine keratomycosis. The secondary aims were to determine if complication rates differ between treatment types or are related to surgical and anesthetic factors.

METHODS

The study was a retrospective evaluation of 126 cases between 2004 and 2020 with confirmed fungal infection and recorded incidence of complications during hospitalization and surgical intervention if pursued. Additional information recorded included the size of the donor graft if utilized, time under general anesthesia, and prescribed medications. Fisher exact and χ2 tests were used to evaluate complication frequency differences. Logistic regression models determined the effects of donor graft size, anesthesia time, and duration of hospitalization on complication rates.

RESULTS

Hypercreatininemia followed by colic were the most frequent systemic complications in the medical treatment group. Colic and conjunctival graft dehiscence were the most frequent systemic and ocular complications in all surgery treatment groups, respectively. The frequency of systemic complications did not vary between treatment groups, although colic rates were significantly higher following general anesthesia. All colic cases were resolved with supportive care. Donor graft size, anesthesia time, and duration of hospitalization did not impact complication frequency. The mainstays of medical therapy included topical fluoroquinolones, topical voriconazole, topical atropine, oral NSAIDS, and oral gastroprotectants.

CONCLUSIONs

Treatment of keratomycosis is associated with a range of complications. Colic remains a significant risk, with increased frequency reported following general anesthesia.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Reporting common complications associated with treatment aids in decision-making for equine clinicians and owners.
Income concealment and its impact on the Economy
Authors: Kurti Skerdian , Visha Arnold
Published: November 2024

The revenues collected from taxes and levies constitute the largest part of the State budget. These revenues are significant as, without them, the State’s financial activities cannot be carried out, nor can the public needs of society be met. More revenue from taxes and levies means more schools, kindergartens, nurseries, hospitals, roads, and more services for the community, drafting effective social and criminal policies to protect individuals and society. For this purpose, it is important not only to determine the level of taxes and levies but also to protect their collection to ensure the necessary services for the benefit of society. One way to protect tax and levy collection is through criminal legislation. Among the criminal offenses provided for this purpose, Article 180 titled “Income Concealment”, which punishes all illegal behaviors that favor tax evasion, is of great importance. Through this paper, we aim to present the direct importance of revenue collection for the economic and social development of a country by initially identifying some of the ways in which the criminal act of income concealment is committed by commercial companies. This paper will also include a brief analysis of criminal legislation protecting tax revenues before moving on to the economic analysis of tax evasion and the difficulties encountered in combating this phenomenon.
Various apolipoprotein E genotypes relate to responsiveness to flaxseed lignan complex in older persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Authors: Barre Douglas E. , Mizier-Barre Kazimiera A. , Griscti Odette
Published: November 2024

Objective. The objective of the study was to determine if there would be statistically significant differences or trends among apolipoprotein E genotypes in the responsiveness of members of a cluster of seven measures in older persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) consuming flaxseed lignan complex (FLC). The cluster of seven are abdominal obesity, hypertension, platelet hyperaggregability, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia (decreased plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc), and increased plasma levels of triglycerides), increased low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation and increased inflammation. All cluster members exacerbate T2DM.

Methods. Sixteen patients with well-controlled T2DM participated in this double-blind randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study consisting of four visits. Apolipoprotein E genotyping was done at visit one. The cluster of seven, diet, exercise, smoking and medication use were assessed at each visit.

Results. The 3/4 genotype showed a stronger downward trend in systolic blood pressure compared to the 3/3 genotype with no trend or significant difference in the 2/4 genotype. There was a downward trend in diastolic blood pressure in genotype 3/3 compared genotype 2/4, which showed no significant difference or trend. Only genotype 3/4 showed a significant drop in diastolic pressure compared to genotypes 2/4 and 3/3. HDLc only showed a downward trend in 3/4 relative to genotypes 2/4 and 3/3. LDL apolipoprotein B oxidation (LDL-Box) only showed an upward trend in 3/3 compared to genotypes 2/4 and 3/4. There were no other significant differences or trends by genotype in the cluster of seven.

Conclusions. It appears that those with the 2/4 genotype may not benefit from FLC, those with 3/3 and 3/4 genotypes may benefit only in terms of systolic and diastolic pressures, those with the apo E 3/4 genotype should perhaps avoid FLC to manage HDLc, and those with the 3/3 genotype should perhaps avoid FLC to manage LDL apolipoprotein B oxidation.

Published: November 2024

Objective. Reduced calciferol (vitamin D) levels in pregnant women have been associated with an increased risk to infant health. Progesterone sustains pregnancy and reduces the risk of premature birth through its metabolites affecting myometrial contractility. Sex hormone-binding globulin protein (SHBG) is a biomarker of premature birth. The present study aimed to find out if early pregnancy levels of vitamin D, SHBG, and progesterone metabolites may predict preterm birth risk.

Methods. Five hundred pregnant women aged 18–43 years during their 2nd and 3rd trimesters from multiple civilian regional medical centers in Lahore participated in the study. Blood samples taken from participants were used to determine vitamin D, SHBG, 11-deoxycorticosterone (DOC), and 16α-hydroxyprogesterone (16α-OHP) levels using specific ELISA kits. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA using the latest GraphPad Prism software.

Results. A significant decrease in vitamin D, DOC, and SHBG levels (p<0.001, p<0.001, and p<0.05, respectively) in the preterm birth cohorts in the 2nd and 3rd trimester was found compared to the corresponding control groups. Furthermore, 16α-OHP levels in the preterm birth cohorts in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters were significantly increased (p<0.001 and p=0.0062, respectively) compared to their control cohorts.

Conclusion. The results of our study confirm that calciferol deficiency in pregnant women is associated with an increased risk of premature birth and indicate that SHBG and progesterone metabolites may be useful biomarkers for the early identification and prediction of preterm birth.
Post-fire soil water repellency under stones and forest residue mulch versus of bare soil
Authors: Martins Martinho A.S. , Prats Sergio A. , Keizer Jan Jacob , Verheijen Frank G.A.
Published: November 2024

Soil water repellency (SWR) is commonly defined as a physical property of soil to resist wetting. Fire can induce, enhance, or reduce SWR and, consequently, lead to considerable changes in soil water infiltration and storage and increase soil erosion by water. The application of mulches to cover burned areas has been found to be an efficient emergency stabilization treatment. However, little is known about possible side effects on SWR, especially long-term effects. Under forests, SWR is known to be very heterogeneous, particularly in proximity to trees and shrubs, litter type and thickness, stones, cracks and roots. This study targeted the effects of post-fire mulching on SWR in a eucalypt plantation five years after a wildfire. The application of forest residue mulch did not significantly change SWR in bare soil patches or under stones, comparing the mulched and untreated plots. By contrast, SWR in the mulched plots was, significantly stronger under mulch than in bare soil. The same was true for both soil organic matter content (SOM) and soil moisture content (SMC), suggesting that SOM played a more important role than SMC. In turn, SWR under mulch was not significantly different from SWR under stone, while both SMC and SOM were significantly higher under mulch than stone. This could be explained by the differences in SMC overriding the effects of the differences SOM, or, alternatively, by possible differences in SOM quality, in particular of the “fresh” input from the mulch. Overall, the present results indicated that different mechanisms may drive SWR dynamics beneath mulch fragments, stones and bare soil patches. A better understanding of these mechanisms is important to improve the knowledge of post-fire overland flow generation and, thereby, to improve its prediction using hydrological models, especially during the early phases of the window-of-disturbance.

Published: November 2024

Central Europe and other parts of the world have experienced numerous extreme floods and prolonged periods of very low water discharges. With the increasing length and availability of hydrological data time series, it is now possible to analyse a larger volume of data. This paper presents long-term of changes in seasonal and maximum discharges. This paper aims to comprehensively assess the hydrological regime changes of Slovak rivers, using data from 26 gauging stations based on 90 years of observation. The study’s first part explores monthly flow changes within each year for selected Slovak rivers. The second part identifies changes in the maximum daily discharges, their long-term trends, and their occurrences. Additionally, we have compared the variability of the hydrological regime of the Slovak rivers with the variability of the hydrological regime of selected gauging stations on the Danube River and its tributaries, such as the Drava, Sajó, and Tisa rivers, to understand broader regional patterns. The findings show that the rivers selected exhibit relatively high intra-annual runoff variability, with various changes in the runoff regime curve based on the long-term monthly Pardé coefficient. For the Slovak region, maximum annual runoff variability is observed in the Krupinica and Plašťovce rivers (reaching a maximum of 12.1 during the period 1930–1960), while minimum annual runoff variability is observed in the Biely Váh River (2.205 for the period 1930–1960). The long-term trend analysis of the Burn index time series for maximum daily discharges over the entire period from 1930/31 to 2019/20, as well as the significance of trends during the summer-autumn and winter-spring seasons, shows that stations exhibited decreasing, stable, or increasing trends. The most significant increasing trend was observed at sixteen of the stations analyzed: at seventeen stations during the summer-autumn season and at nine stations during the winter-spring season over the period from 1930/31 to 2019/20.
The effect of low and moderate myopia on corneal, retinal, and intraretinal layers’ thickness by spectral optical coherence tomography
Authors: Maciejewska Karina Janina , Pokorzyńska-Zelek Sara
Published: November 2024

Introduction: An important goal of biomedical physics and engineering is to study possible confounding factors in diagnosis or treatment to minimize erogenous interpretations due to overestimation or covering pathology-related changes. We aimed to examine the effect of refractive error on corneal thickness, retinal thickness (including its layers), and optic disc parameters in low myopia and moderate myopia, as compared to the emmetropic group.

Material and methods: Sixty eyes from 30 (18 women) young, healthy, physically active, non-smokers, with normal color perception, and no ophthalmological or neurological medical history Caucasians at the age of 24.6 ± 1.5 years were examined. The studied groups were defined based on the SE (spherical equivalent): emmetropia (−0.5 D ≤ SE ≤ 0.75 D, 20 eyes), low myopia (−3 D < SE < -0.5 D, 20 eyes), and moderate myopia (−6 ≤ SE ≤ −3 D, 20 eyes). Spectral optical coherence tomography imaging (SOCT) through SOCT Copernicus HR device (OPTOPOL Technology Sp. z o.o., Poland) was used.

Results: Corneal thickness, peripapillary RNFL thickness, and optic disc parameters didn’t change between emmetropic, low myopia, and moderate myopia groups. However, macular retinal thickness decreased with increasing refractive error. Interestingly, particular retinal layers’ thicknesses changed differently with increasing spherical equivalent (SE). A thickening of external macular retina layers was observed in the central and inner sectors, while a thinning of internal retinal layers was seen mainly in the outer ring when SE increased from emmetropia to moderate myopia.

Conclusions: Our findings suggest that changes in retinal thickness due to refractive error may appear even in earlier stages than high myopia. Moreover, different retina layers change differently with SE and not every sector behaves in the same manner. These results are especially worth noting, as they point out the necessity of taking into account different behaviors of retinal layers in low and moderately myopic eyes in interpreting the measurement results when diagnosing ocular pathologies or preparing ophthalmologic surgeries.
Comparing Speed-Agility-Quickness and Small-Sided Games Training Effects on Speed and Power Performance in Young Soccer Players
Authors: Souilah Aziz , Kessouri Oussama
Published: November 2024

Introduction.
Soccer is a demanding sport that requires rapid and explosive movements. Enhancing speed and power is crucial for optimal performance in soccer players. Two training methods, Speed, Agility, and Quickness (SAQ) training and Small-Sided Games (SSG) training, are commonly used to improve these physical attributes. This study aimed to compare the effects of SAQ training versus SSG training on performance measures in young soccer players.

Material and Methods.
Twenty-four soccer players were randomly assigned to either an SAQ training group (n = 12) or an SSG training group (n = 12). An 8-week training program was implemented, and pre- and post-training assessments included 10-m and 20-m sprint tests, Zigzag Change of Direction Speed (CODS), Repeated Sprint Ability, Squat Jump (SJ), Counter-movement Jump tests. Statistical analysis involved paired t-tests to compare pre- and post-test results within groups and ANOVA to examine interactions between time and group effects.

Results.
SAQ and SSG training groups showed significant improvements across all measures (all p < 0.05). Time effects were significant (all p < 0.05), indicating overall effectiveness, with small time x group interactions (all p < 0.05; η2 ranging from 0.001 to 0.055). However, the percentages indicated a slight advantage for SAQ training in 10- and 20-meter speed and SJ, as well as for SSG training in RSAmean.

Conclusions.
Both SAQ and SSG training programs effectively enhance speed and power performance in young soccer players. Selection between programs can align with specific training goals, highlighting potential for further optimization in athletic development.

Published: November 2024

Efficient urban facility access is crucial for enhancing residents’ well-being and quality of life. This study examines public transport accessibility to essential facilities in Rome, such as high schools and hospitals, using gravity models based on open data sources, like OpenStreetMap and GTFS. Two versions of the gravity model are compared: an origin constrained and a doubly constrained. The latter can consider the capacity of facilities as a strict constraint, offering thus a more realistic assessment of accessibility. The findings highlight the correlation of public transport quality and urban accessibility, showing how variations in public transport supply affect the weighted average time to reach services like healthcare, education, and leisure. This approach reveals specific zones needing improvement and provides a valuable tool for predicting the impact of future changes in the transport network with respect to social equity. An online platform has been developed to allow a readily available application of this methodology to boost active citizenship and proactive decision making.

The need to decarbonise and reduce pollutant emissions from maritime transport is facilitating the studies of ground effect vehicles. Technical development in recent decade concerning unmanned flights in drones has supported this development. These vehicles could have much higher speed than sea vessels and they are estimated to be less costly compared to air transport. Unmanned operations without passengers enable wider range of transport connections (even in difficult conditions). In this research we analyse prototype vehicle called Airship and its possible use in different routes of intra Canary Islands’ transport. We suggest the most lucrative routes and cargo groups. Initial cost and revenue considerations are made over the life-cycle of Airship. As a result, we can point that there are three main factors determine the success of the transport operations. They are: the number of journeys per day, business days operating per year and freight price.

Objective: The purpose of this research is to propose a pedagogical model (hereinafter PM) to increase research competence (hereinafter IC) in higher education students, answering the question. What is the relevant PM to increase the IC of these students?
 
Theoretical framework: Training should be based on competencies, incorporate situated learning and teaching, promote interdisciplinarity, develop complex thinking and apply a critical-reflective approach. Also considered relevant are the socio-critical approach, the dialogue of knowledge and training based on previous experiences, in addition to integrating an intercultural approach and promoting the construction of meaningful learning.
 
Method: The research was carried out using a mixed strategy, collecting and processing quantitative and qualitative data, whose living source and main actors were EPIB educators as students of the IX and X cycle, promotion 2021, of the same specialty. Through the documentary analysis of the syllabus, the planning of training activities and the curriculum development guide proposed for this career.
 
Results and Discussion: The application of interviews to the participating educators, focus groups with themselves and the students; as well as the application of a quantitative processing survey has systematized the perception, definition and characterization of a PM to teach research, whose substantial content is translated into the proposal of a PM to increase the students' IQ and has as its axis the increase of skills and attitudes. This is based on the strengthening of research attitudes and skills, through consecutive actions that integrate the reflective exercise, theory, methodology, innovative exercise and the proposal of knowledge, using a formative research methodology and continuous evaluation.
 
Implications of the research: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, in terms of learning by researching, carrying out sequential inquiry activities, which articulate reflective practice, theory and diverse methodologies, innovative pedagogical action and generation of pedagogical knowledge, using formative research methodologies and formative evaluation of learning.

Process Route to Generate Double Hydrated Magnesium and Ammonium Sulfates from a Rich Magnesium Sulfate Effluent
Authors: Silva Ruberlan Gomes , Avelar Angela Nair
Published: November 2024

Objective: The present study aims to develop a process for treating magnesium sulfate effluents generated from hydrometallurgical processes to produce nickel, copper, or rare earth elements. The primary objective is to propose a process route for generating a hydrated double salt of magnesium and ammonium sulfates by treating an effluent rich in magnesium sulfate.
 
Method: Laboratory-scale experiments using synthetic solutions of magnesium sulfate and ammonium hydroxide, with the addition of sulfuric acid were carried out to promote the precipitation of the double salt under controlled pH and temperature conditions. The product was characterized by nitrogen, magnesium, sulfate, moisture, free acidity, and static hardness. The mineralogy of the product was verified using X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy.
 
Results and Discussion: The double salt presented nitrogen content of 8.3 wt%, magnesium of 8.5 wt%, and sulfate of 58.4 wt%, along with low moisture (1.1 wt%) and free acidity (0.16 wt%). Additionally, the product ((NH4)2SO4.MgSO4.6H2O)) was found to be non-hygroscopic and with suitable particle size (2-4) mm to be applied directly in farms as fertilizer and to obtain NPK blends.
 
Research Implications: It is suggested that the process can be scaled up for industrial applications, providing a value-added product for agriculture and promoting the reuse of industrial waste.
 
Originality/Value: This study is innovative in proposing to treat magnesium sulfate-rich effluents aiming to produce double salt of magnesium and ammonium sulfates with significant potential for agricultural applications.

Published: November 2024

Objective: This work aims to assess whether there is a causal relationship between resilience and depression in young adults during the recent COVID-19 pandemic
 
Theoretical Framework: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the mental health of the world's population. Depression is a serious psychiatric condition. Young adults are particularly vulnerable to developing depression during the pandemic. Resilience is the ability to quickly return to your natural state of health after experiencing illness.
 
Method: Sample: 762 young adults, aged between 20 and 40 years (mean = 26.38; standard deviation = 5.50), of which 199 (26.1%) were male, 559 (73.4%) %) female and 4 (0.5%) identified as others. Instruments: sociodemographic questionnaire, the Center for Epidemiological Studies - Depression Scale (CES-D) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10).
 
Results and Discussion: The results obtained indicate that the levels of depression observed are higher than the cutoff points, indicating that the sample evaluated presented worrying levels of depression during the COVID-19 pandemic period. A moderate and significant negative correlation (rho = -0.523; p < 0.01) was observed between resilience and depression. Linear regression showed that resilience is a significant predictor that explains 28.2% of the variance in depression.
 
Research Implications: The results presented may be useful to psychology professionals
 
Originality/Value: These results may also be important to guide the population regarding the impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Novo ensino médio e o esquecimento da educação especial na perspectiva da educação inclusiva
Authors: Leite Francisco Edson Pereira
Published: November 2024

O texto busca compreender as possíveis implicações que o Novo Ensino Médio (NEnMe) pode gerar para a inclusão dos estudantes com necessidades educacionais especiais a partir da implementação da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC). Considera-se relevante trazer à baila reflexões envolvendo essas demandas emergentes no campo de estudos da educação. O artigo baseou-se na análise da Lei 13.415/2017, da BNCC e no Decreto Presidencial 10.502/2020, e com o amparo de um aporte teórico de outros autores que tratam desses temas, analisa e discute algumas perspectivas relacionadas aos três documentos alvo dessa investigação. Ao final destaca-se que o atual modelo de Ensino Médio não é tão novo assim como pretende parecer. Apesar de reconhecer que ainda é muito cedo para cravar os impactos da BNCC para a Educação Básica no país, é fato que, tanto a BNCC quanto o NEnMe negligenciam a Educação Especial tornando seu público-alvo ainda mais invisível. Portanto, caso a nova Política Nacional de Educação Especial venha a ser implementada no país, esse conjunto da obra pode representar uma grande perda de direitos historicamente conquistados, assim como muitos avanços culturalmente construídos no que diz respeito a inclusão de pessoas com deficiência também podem ser desmobilizados.
