A obesidade, afetando cerca de 60% da população mundial, está associada a várias complicações de saúde. A cirurgia bariátrica emerge como uma intervenção eficaz para reduzir peso em pacientes obesos mórbidos, especialmente os que não respondem a tratamentos convencionais. No entanto, o sucesso a longo prazo depende de uma abordagem integrada que considere mudanças no consumo energético e distúrbios metabólicos. Além disso, candidatos à cirurgia bariátrica frequentemente apresentam altas prevalências de transtornos psicológicos, como depressão, ansiedade e transtorno de compulsão alimentar periódica, com resultados variáveis na literatura quanto à resposta desses transtornos ao procedimento cirúrgico.
Este estudo visa avaliar a evolução das variáveis psicopatológicas (depressão, ansiedade e patologia alimentar) após a CB, além de analisar melhorias na qualidade de vida, vícios relacionados e consequências físicas e mentais associadas ao procedimento. Utilizando uma revisão sistemática, foram selecionados artigos publicados entre 2011 e 2023, acessados em bases de dados como Google Scholar, PubMed, BVS e SciELO, que discutem as condições de saúde pós-cirúrgicas e fornecem insights sobre o tratamento. Os resultados destacam que muitos pacientes experimentam uma melhoria significativa na saúde mental, especialmente em relação à depressão e ansiedade, após a perda de peso associada à CB. A qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde física e mental também tende a melhorar substancialmente, embora a adaptação psicológica à nova imagem corporal e a necessidade de suporte contínuo sejam fatores importantes a serem considerados.
Em conclusão, enquanto a CB geralmente resulta em benefícios positivos, é fundamental uma abordagem individualizada e cuidados pós-operatórios adequados para otimizar os resultados a longo prazo. Pesquisas futuras devem continuar explorando esses aspectos para informar práticas clínicas mais eficazes e melhorar o bem-estar geral dos pacientes submetidos a esse procedimento

Indonesia is an area prone to earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause infrastructure damage and casualties. Efforts are needed to reduce the risk of earthquake hazards by strengthening earthquake-resistant infrastructure. The design procedures for earthquake-resistant buildings are carried out using a performance-based design approach. Building performance can be estimated through non-linear static pushover analysis. This research takes a case study in Jongke Market, Surakarta. This research aims to determine the capacity curve, performance level, and structure collapse mechanism. The method used is pushover analysis with the capacity spectrum. The result of this analysis is a capacity curve that processed to determine the level of structure performance referring to the drift ratio limitation table in the Applied Technology Council (ATC-40). Based on the results of this research, displacement that occurred in the x direction is 92 mm and in the y direction is 77 mm. Building displacement is good because the displacement that occurred is smaller than the displacement limit (control). The total maximum drift in the x direction is 0.007 and in the y direction is 0.006. The maximum inelastic total drift in the x direction is 0.005 and in the y direction is 0.004. Based on the drift ratio limitation table in the ATC-40 document, this building has an immediate occupancy performance level. Based on the plastic hinge mechanism formed, the existing structure also meets the ideal collapse concept (strong column-weak beam).

Do physical activity intensity and sedentary behaviour relate to burnout among medical students? Insight from two Canadian medical schools
Authors: Morgan Tamara , McFadden Taylor , Fortier Michelle , Sweet Shane , Tomasone Jennifer
Published: August 2024

Background: Medical school involves high expectations of medical students, which may increase their risk for burnout. Physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) are modifiable risk factors for burnout. However, medical students are insufficiently taught about PA and SB and may therefore be less likely to meet guideline-recommended levels of these two movement behaviours or promote them in practice. Few studies have examined the relationships between medical students’ PA intensity, SB, and burnout; such examination could help clarify educational needs for improving levels of movement behaviours and their promotion.
Purpose: This study investigated (1) the relationships between light, moderate, vigorous, and total PA, SB, and burnout among medical students, and (2) moderate-to-vigorous PA as a moderator of the relationship between SB and burnout, to guide future curriculum renewal.
Methods: Medical students (N = 129) at two Canadian institutions completed online validated questionnaires assessing light, moderate, vigorous, and total PA, SB, and burnout.
Results: Regression analyses indicated that light PA (β = -.191, p = .039) and SB (β=-.230, p = .013) were negatively associated with burnout. Moderate-to-vigorous PA did not significantly moderate the relationship between SB and burnout.
Conclusions: Engaging in lighter forms of PA and SB within guideline recommendations may help mitigate medical student burnout. Competencies to promote movement behaviours may dually target medical student burnout and curriculum gaps.

Western Feminism and Indian Feminism: A Comparative Study
Authors: - Prakanshi
Published: August 2024

Feminism is a comprehensive movement that aims to address diverse manifestations of injustice and promote the rights of women. Despite their diverse nature, women's movements around the world express shared concerns regarding reproductive, political and legal rights. The primary objective of feminism is to emancipate women from various forms of mistreatment and foster global collaboration among women. However, there remains a substantial discrepancy in the quality of life experienced by women in economically impoverished nations in the Global South compared to those in economically prosperous countries in the Global North. Women residing in the economically developed regions of the world known as the Global North tend to benefit from capitalism and the global economy. Conversely, women living in the economically disadvantaged regions of the world known as the Global South typically encounter poverty and challenging working conditions. Indian feminism highlights the equal significance of economically exploitative behaviors, racism and gender discrimination as key issues. Indian feminism is considered more comprehensive than other forms of feminism since it places equal importance on both reproductive and productive responsibilities. The objective of this research is to examine the discrepancies between Western and Indian feminist ideology specifically focusing on the challenges associated with the adoption of Western ideals in India particularly the concept of essentialism. This research also examines the impact of increasing inequality on systems that depend on male involvement as well as the philosophical concerns associated with feminism in both Western and Indian settings. In order to illuminate the intricacies and subtleties present in these two prominent feminist traditions, the study employed a qualitative comparative analysis to emphasize discrepancies in the objectives of feminist groups regarding gender equality and women's empowerment.
Industrial Radiography Testing & Technique Safety for Human Body
Authors: - Hardev , - Rashmi Shrivastava
Published: August 2024

The use of Industrial Radiography for examining the quality of Weld joints is very popular worldwide. In India, many welding activities like construction and laying the huge pipelines for gas and water transportation and distribution as well construction of storage tanks are performed. The objects are working under high pressure and therefore, it is important to produce the weld beads with high quality. Industrial radiography uses ionizing radiation to view objects in a way that cannot be seen otherwise. The method has grown out of engineering, and is a major element of non-destructive testing (NDT) to inspect materials for hidden flaws. The radiation caused by these facilities is very dangerous however, with the use of new technologies and proper protection, risks of injury and death associated with radiation can be greatly reduced. Use or radiation sources are associated with a certain amount of radiation hazard. With proper card, this can be minimized. Radiation hazards may be broadly classified as external hazards an internal hazard. External hazards occur when the source of radiation is outside the body and internal hazards arise when the source for radiation gets into the human system. Hazard evaluation is necessary in order to adopt suitable measures to control radiation exposure. The problem of internal hazard does not arise in the use of X-ray equipment. It is considerably easy to estimate the external radiation hazard and there are a number of devices suitable for this purpose.
Exploring the Unraveled Naktauri-Geet: A Study on a Ritual Performance in an All-Women Space in a Hindu marriage Ceremony
Authors: - Priyam Dubey
Published: August 2024

This research explores the ritual performance action known as Naktauri, which occurs during Hindu marriage ceremonies. In these ceremonies, women from the bridegroom’s family are excluded from the wedding rituals at the bride’s house and are left behind by the men. (In contemporary times, few women have begun to attend the wedding ceremony at the bride’s house. However, this step remains very limited in rural parts of the northern belt of India.) These women then engage in a ritual performance that enacts the entire sequence of the marriage, including the first night of the couple (suhagraat) and the birth of a child. This enactment is complemented by geet (songs), dance, and male impersonation, and it takes place in an all-women space where men are strictly prohibited. Any male attempt to intrude is met with a barrage of abuses.
Based in Akbarpur, Uttar Pradesh, a place in northern India, this study underscores the importance of location as this performance holds multiple signifiers depending on its regional context. The performance of Naktauri has received negligible attention in academic discourse. This research aims to illuminate the significance of the geet and dance elements within this ritual performance, highlighting their role in providing a space for women’s cultural expression and agency.

A mini review of curcumin and TRPM2 channel: Focus on oxidative neurotoxicity
Authors: Nazıroğlu Mustafa
Published: August 2024

Several neuronal diseases are induced by the induction of apoptosis/cell death and reactive oxygen species (ROS) via the accumulation of excessive free Ca2+ into mitochondria. The Na+ and Ca2+ permeable TRPM2 cation channels are activated by oxidative stress. The TRPM2-mediated Ca2+ influx induces excessive generation of mitochondrial ROS, apoptosis, and inflammation. The actions are modulated by the treatment of antioxidant plants. Curcumin (CURC) is a natural yellow antioxidant. Results of recent studies have indicated that CURC acted protective properties through the inhibition of TRPM2 on the hypoxia, anti-tumor, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory actions in tumor, neuronal, retinal, kidney, and hepatocyte cells. However, the treatment of CURC induced oxidant and TRPM2 stimulator actions in tumor cells. The protective actions of CURC via modulation of oxidative stress and TRPM2 channel on the ROS generation, inflammation, and cell death in neuronal cells and mice retina have been recognized. In conclusion, the present data of TRPM2 demonstrated that the physiologic balance between the neuronal and retinal diseases was arranged in the kidney, neuronal cells and retina by the TRPM2 channels-stimulation mediated Ca2+ influx. However, the treatment of CURC induced protective action through the inhibition of TRPM2 on the inflammatory, oxidant, and apoptotic pathways in the cells. Tumor cells were killed through the stimulation of TRPM2 by CURC. It seems that the TRPM2 stimulator and inhibitor actions of CURC are cell specific.

In applications involving image processing, segmentation is an essential stage. This procedure divides the image's pixels into various classes, enabling the examination of the scene's objects. Finding the ideal collection of thresholds to correctly segment each image is a challenge that multilevel thresholding solves with ease. The optimal thresholds can be found using methods like Otsu's between-class variance or kapur's entropy, but they are computationally costly when there are more than two thresholds. This study presents a novel meta-heuristic algorithm, Election-Based Optimization Algorithm (EBOA) to discover the optimal threshold configuration with Otsu as the objective function, to solve this kind of problem. The obtained results proved better in WPSNR, PSNR, SSIM, FSIM and misclassification error and segmented image quality when compared with existing algorithms.

Authors: Susanti Ni Putu Aries , Susanti NLP Dina , Wahyuningsih Luh Gde Nita Sri , Agustini Komang Tri
Published: August 2024

Introduction: The credentialing process is a series of expertise verifications to obtain clinical authority, especially for nurses. This literature review aimed to gain further exposure to implementing nursing credentials and determine whether the implementation is optimal.Methods: The method used a literature review. Article searches were carried out via PubMed, Google Scholar, and Wiley using the keywords “nursing credential” while searching in English articles and the keyword “kredensial perawat” in an article in Bahasa. A total of fifteen articles were extracted based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Results: Nurses are expected to provide services by their clinical competence and authority through the credentialing process. Many studies showed that the implementation of credentials still needs to be improved. The main challenge found in many studies regarding the implementation of credentials is the overlapping of duties by the credentials committee. Conclusion: If the credentialing process is carried out correctly and optimally following existing laws and regulations, it will benefit nurses and hospitals significantly. These benefits include, among others, the fact that nurses can optimize the nursing care provided and provide legal protection because nurses have carried out competencies by their authority. Meanwhile, hospitals can improve the quality of service, maintain patient safety, and increase patient and family satisfaction.
Kajian Penerapan Arsitektur Modern pada Bangunan Villa Savoye
Authors: Febriyanti Nurul
Published: August 2024

Arsitektur Modern adalah gaya atau konsep bangunan yang mengutamakan bentuk bangunan dibandingkan ornamen hias. Dengan kata lain, estetika desain modern adalah kelanjutan dari bangunan penuh ornamen seperti desain Gothic dan Victorian. Sebaliknya, desain modern memilih tema arsitektur yang dibangun dengan material tertentu, demi menjamin kesederhanaan dan fungsionalitas sebuah bangunan. Era desain modern datang bersamaan saat sumber daya manusia digantikan dengan mesin industrial. Salah satunya adalah villa Savoye yang merupakan karya ciptaan arsitek terkenal Le Corbusier. Villa Savoye merupakan bangunan yang sangat berpengaruh pada arsitektur modern. Villa ini memiliki tema desain The House Is A Machine For Living yang berarti rumah adalah tempat untuk hidup, dengan menggunakan tema tersebut Le Corbusier berusaha menyampaikan makna tersendiri di dalam bangunan tersebut yang dipadukan dengan halaman rumah yang hijau, sehingga memberikan kesan yang cukup sejuk. Analisa bangunan Villa Savoye sendiri patut di pertanyakan karena merupakan bangunan dengan konsep arsitektur modern atau postmodern. Hasil penelitian dengan menggunakan metode analisa kualitatif ditemukan data yang sesuai dengan prinsip arsitektur modern, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa bangunan Villa ini merupakan salah satu desain dari arsitektur modern.
