Published: February 2024

The Kanta Patient Data Repository contains healthcare data from the population of Finland for more than a decade. The repository is a continuously expanding real world dataset produced by many information systems and healthcare service providers. Kanta data has been accessible for secondary uses such as scientific research since 2019. The data can be requested from the Finnish authority Findata. However, before a request has been accepted, it is difficult to assess if the accumulated data allows answering a specific research question. Publicly available descriptions of data structures in Kanta do not tell how much they are used in practice. This publication enables future data use cases by providing a view on the overall availability of types of structured health data in the Kanta patient data repository based on a sample of 96 200 medical histories of over 18-year-old patients. We conclude that Kanta PDR is a promising source of real world data for development and evaluation of medical risk calculators within the Finnish population. The wide coverage of the Finnish population and timeliness of the data are its strengths as a source of research data also outside of Finnish context. However, the limitations on data availability in variable level need to be considered on a case-by-case basis. Main challenges in the use of Kanta data are multiple code systems for laboratory results, short durations of recorded data for specific data types, and missing or very rarely used structured format e.g., in cases of tobacco and alcohol use.
A Machine Learning method to quantify tissue quality and correct bias due to preanalytical process applied to HER2 Immunohistochemistry diagnosis in breast cancer
Authors: Córdova Claudio , Minonzio Jean-Gabriel G , Rojas Ailyn , Mejías Camila , Lozano Carlo , Marchant Ivanny , Olivero Pablo
Published: February 2024

The quality assessment of biomaterials in pathological anatomy is
crucial for the optimal diagnosis and treatment of conditions like
cancer. This is exemplified in the immunohistochemistry profiling of the
human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in breast cancer.
Therefore, it is relevant to understand how preanalytical processes,
such as post-surgery handling and fixation quality, impact biomaterial
quality and diagnostic accuracy. This study investigates first the
influence of fixation steps on the performance of HER2 diagnosis. Then a
quantitative and automated approach is proposed to correct these biases.
This approach is derived from a previous supervised Machine Learning
model. The method, which employs a high-performance logistic model, has
been further enhanced with a compensation strategy based on tissue
quality. This enhancement utilizes a correction derived from a Tissue
Quality Index (TQI) to fine-tune the input parameters of the
classification model (referred to as TQI-enhancer). Results, obtained
from 60 quality control samples with Vimentin and 75 HER2 classification
samples, first demonstrate that cold ischemia and fixation times lead to
significant changes in immunoreactivity within a short period. Second,
adjusting specific parameters quantified in HER2 samples through
automated image analysis based on the TQI-Enhancer equation exhibits an
improved correlation with the reference diagnosis. This adjustment
significantly enhances the classification performance of the logistic
classifier in ML-based diagnosis compared to uncompensated data with
improved AUC values from 0.84 to 0.93. We anticipate that implementing
similar strategies will enhance the performance of digital pathology
techniques, ultimately leading to the development of robust diagnostic
classifiers for cases of aggressive breast cancer. By analyzing the
association between biomarkers like HER2 with patients’ clinical
outcomes, these classifiers are expected to provide invaluable insights.
The Body that Menstruates: countervisualities in the graphic humor produced by Fabiane Langona (2014-2021)
Authors: Pires Maria da Conceição Francisca
Published: February 2024

The article examines the use of graphic humor to guide menstruation in cartoons and strips by cartoonist Fabiane Langona, published between 2014-2021 in the Folha de São Paulo newspaper and in her Instagram and Facebook profiles. The central purpose is to point out how, through the use of the grotesque and irony, graphic and discursive elements that characterize her work, the cartoonist strives to destigmatize the theme, facing the established taboos about the menstruating body and menstrual blood. I defend the premise that by putting the menstruating female body on stage, with the pain and discomfort it carries during this period, Fabiane Langona seeks to modify the meanings that are historically attributed to them, as something dirty and shameful, and break with the visual silence in which it’s wrapped. In this way, the artist builds counter-visualities, that is, transgressive images that go in the opposite direction to the historically interdicts placed on this theme, provoking reflections on them and on the meanings imputed to female bodies.

As disfunções do sistema músculo-esquelético em trabalhadores estão relacionadas com fatores fisiológicos, cinesiológicos e biomecânicos que resultam em dor, parestesia, inflamação, sensação de peso, fadiga e compressão de nervos periféricos. Este estudo tem como intuito avaliar os aspectos clínicos de acordo com o índice de massa corporal e investigar o impacto de uma nova proposta de tratamento da dor sobre a saúde do trabalhador de Passos/MG. Dois estudos transversais foram desenvolvidos, incluindo trina e cinco trabalhadores. Foram realizadas anamnese, antropometria, composição corporal, escala analógica visual da dor, goniometria, testes funcionais de mobilidade de ombros e flexibilidade da coluna vertebral, além de avaliação da qualidade de vida e bem-estar. Uma inovadora proposta de tratamento da dor foi a vacuoterapia combinada com laserterapia que foram aplicadas nas regiões da lombar, torácica e cervical. Os principais resultados obtidos foram que todos os trabalhadores, obesos e não-obesos, permanecem na postura sentada por período prolongado e apresentam dor principalmente na região lombar e cervical. Os trabalhadores obesos mostraram menor qualidade de vida comparada aos trabalhadores não-obesos. O tratamento proposto conduziu a significativa redução da dor e aumento da funcionalidade. As avaliações mostraram que a dor na coluna ocorre em trabalhadores que permanecem por longo período sentado e a vacuoterapia combinada com a laserterapia foi efetiva no tratamento da dor e pode ser implementada nas instituições privada e pública para melhorar a saúde do trabalhador.

Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito da adubação nitrogenada sobre a produção de forragem de cultivares de brachiarias, bem como observar se esse manejo pode interferir na estacionalidade da produção entre as estações água e seca. O período experimental compreendeu o período da seca e das águas da safra 2021/2022. As cultivares Marandu, Mavuno, Xaraés, G172, G153 e G156 foram distribuídas nas parcelas, em delineamento de blocos ao acaso. No entanto, nas subparcelas foram alocadas as adubações de cobertura (0 a 80 kg ha-1 N), as quais foram divididas em duas doses de 40 kg N ha-1, aplicado no período das águas, entre os meses de novembro e janeiro, época de maior volume de chuva, com quatro repetições por tratamento, totalizando 48 unidades experimentais. A cultivar Marandu foi utilizada como balizador do manejo da desfolhação, e os cortes foram realizados quando esta alcançava entre 35 a 40 cm no período das águas. Não houve interação entre as cultivares de brachiárias e adubação para as variáveis do período da seca. Para variável porcentagem de lâmina foliar as cultivares G153 e G172 apresentaram maiores valores no período das águas. A cultivar Mavuno destacou-se no número de folhas vivas por perfilho com 2,35 folhas. Para a variável densidade de perfilhos, as cultivares G153, G156 e Marandu apresentaram maiores valores das demais cultivares quando não houve adubação. Em contrapartida, quando as cultivares receberam adubação, a G153 apresentou uma maior quantidade de perfilhos. Observou-se que as forrageiras no período das águas apresentaram uma maior produção, com destaques para as variáveis acúmulo de forragem, acúmulo de lâmina foliar e porcentagem de lâmina foliar. Mesmo com a adubação de 80 kg N ha-1, dividido em duas aplicações de 40 kg N ha-1, nas águas, não houve efeito residual no período de seca.

Enhancing quality of life, public health, and economic development in the Global South through waterborne disease prevention with ultraviolet C light-emitting diode technology
Authors: Reedy Jamie M. , Pousty Dana , Waliaula Beldeen W. , Maniga Josephat , Mamane Hadas , Mariita Richard M.
Published: February 2024

Waterborne diseases pose a significant public health challenge in the Global South, attributed to inadequate access to clean water, insufficient sanitation infrastructure, and poor water treatment systems. These factors contribute to the contamination of water sources with microbial pathogens, placing individuals at a heightened risk of contracting waterborne diseases. Waterborne diseases in the Global South are caused by various bacterial pathogens, parasites, and viruses, with factors such as climate change, water scarcity, and human pollution influencing their proliferation. Vulnerable populations, including children, pregnant women, and immunocompromised individuals, bear the brunt of these diseases, resulting in preventable deaths and hindering socioeconomic development due to health-care costs. Traditional methods for combating these diseases have limitations, leading to the need for alternative water disinfection strategies, such as ultraviolet C light-emitting diodes (UVC LEDs). This review examines both the current state of waterborne diseases in the Global South (i.e., disease prevalence, causes, and public/systemic impacts) and the current landscape of UVC LED technology for water disinfection. Through the lens of this multi-focus review, we also explore the potential widespread implementation of UVC LED technology for water disinfection as a method of combating waterborne diseases to improve public health outcomes. Regulatory frameworks for UVC LED water treatment systems in the Global South remain limited. To address this limitation, we recommend an essential implementation framework that includes legislation, partnerships, sustainability, affordability, industrial and environmental standards, and robust evaluation protocols. Finally, we provide a substantial overview of the future directions and research opportunities in UVC LED technology and water treatment mechanisms aiming for promising public health outcomes. Embracing UVC LED technology can help address persistent disease challenges and improve public health in regions with limited infrastructure, thereby moving closer to achieving the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals and emphasizing the significance of universal access to improved WASH (safe water, sanitation, and hygiene) conditions.

Published: February 2024

Response plans to control the transmission of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) overlooked the repercussions of the combined economic and public health crisis among the most vulnerable populations, including women and people who have experienced abuse. This paper primarily aimed to assess the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and economy-related variables on Lebanese adults’ mental health, focusing on gender differences. A cross-sectional study was conducted in May 2020 using an online survey with validated scales created on Google Forms. A total of 502 adults living in Lebanon with access to the internet were enrolled in the study, irrespective of age, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, nationality, sex, gender identity, religion, location, education, and culture (n = 502). The multivariate analysis, adjusted on sociodemographic characteristics, economic, and coronavirus-related variables, showed that women exhibited higher distress, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSSs) levels than men. Moreover, violence at home was associated with more distress and insomnia, with borderline results for anxiety and well-being. No significant difference was found for PTSSs. In the context of combined health and economic crises, mental health outcomes are not equally felt across genders. Additional studies in a few months would help better understand the long-term impact, especially on PTSS and quality of life, which might not be perceptible during the crisis. Focused public health strategies are warranted to support and protect the most vulnerable populations.

Authors: Takáts Alexandra , Takáts Péter
Published: February 2024

In the course of our research we have found a solution for recycling coloured advertising paper in a cellulose fibre based composite. This paper quality is produced in huge quantities and can be recycled with difficulties even in paper industry. Our aim was to produce a kind of organic composite that does not contain any adhesives fixing the matrix part of the composite. An eco-product generated this way has similar physical and mechanical attributes to medium density fibreboard (MDF). Fibre made of coloured newspaper can easily be adapted to board production while, at the same time, this supports also the development of an environment oriented product policy. Boardbased composites produced by utilizing recycled refuse paper can be used for designing and creating environmentally friendly products following the eco-design trend.

Correlation of Soluble Programmed Death Ligand-1 (sPD-L1) with Alpha-Fetoprotein Levels as a Predictor of Prognosis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients
Authors: Chaerunisah Sari , Suyata  , Mgs M. Irsan Saleh
Published: February 2024

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver malignancy and one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. Chronic hepatitis B virus infection is the most common etiology of HCC. Programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) is a protein that is overexpressed on the surface of tumor cells, which can be detected in serum (sPD-L1). Elevated sPD-L1 concentrations in the plasma of cancer patients are associated with poor prognosis in HCC patients, as indicated by increased AFP levels. There have been no previous studies examining the correlation of sPD-L1 levels with AFP in HCC patients. The aim of the study was to determine the correlation of sPD-L1 and AFP as predictors of prognosis in HCC patients.

Methods: The research is an observational study with a cross-sectional design to see the correlation of sPD-L 1 with serum alpha-fetoprotein levels in HCC patients at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang starts from April to July 2023. Measurement of sPD-L1 levels and serum AFP levels is carried out using ELISA examination.

Results: Of the 28 subjects studied, HCC patients were more commonly found in men (89.29%) aged 18-60 years (75%). sPD-L1 and AFP values were found to be increased in the advanced stages of HCC. The sPD-L1 value is directly proportional to the serum AFP value.

Conclusion: There is a strong positive correlation between sPD-L1 levels and serum AFP levels caused by hepatitis B in HCC patients, so the higher the sPD-L1, the higher the serum AFP levels.

There has been a worldwide concern on human relation strategies that are applied in schools by the principals to enable healthy teacher productivity. This research aimed at examining the influence of principals’ professional development strategies on teacher productivity in public secondary schools in Machakos County, Kenya. The study was guided by the human relations theory and the theory of educational productivity. The study adopted mixed methodology and the descriptive correlational designs with concurrent triangulation model. The target population was 4,369, consisting of 4,312 teachers, 291 principals, 18 Sub-County education officers and 10 Teachers’ Service Commission (TSC) officers. The sample size was 490 participants which comprised of 433 teachers and 29 principals that were randomly sampled, 18 Sub-County directors of education and 10 TSC officers who were purposively sampled. Questionnaires were used for teachers and principals. Interview schedules were used for SCDEs and TSC officers. The content validity was established through judgment by educational management experts. Reliability was established using the split-half method. A reliability index of r≥0.75 was obtained using Cronbach Alpha Method, indicating high internal reliability. Data triangulation through multiple analyses ascertained credibility, whereas dependability was established by detailed reporting of each data collection process. Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, tables and inferentially using linear regression with the help of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (Version 24). Qualitative data was analysed thematically and presented in narrative forms and verbatim citations. The findings established that principals were not significantly using professional development among the schools and thus, affecting teacher productivity in schools in Machakos County. It was recommended that stakeholders in education work together with the schools to improve on professional development in the schools so as to improve teacher productivity

La Picopedagogía Intercultural: Un Análisis a la Inclusión Educativa
Authors: Sanipatin Potosi Blanca Yolanda , Rodríguez Cabrera Valeria Diana
Published: February 2024

La psicopedagía intercultural busca atender a la diversidad dentro y fuera de las aulas, el entender y comprender que las necesidades educativas van más allá de lo pedagógico, demarca una verdadera inclusión que inicia desde la convivencia consiente con diferentes culturas, etnias y lenguas, es decir, reconocer la individualidad de cada persona y darle la debida importancia en cuanto a cómo puede y quiere aprender, el desafío de atender a todas las necesidades inicia desde la concepción de la terminología inclusiva, que no limita solo a la discapacidad física o intelectual, sino más bien busca integrar diversidad social, económica, física, psicológica, de género, cultural y étnica. Así como plantear la importancia de potenciar las habilidades personales a través del entrenamiento de las inteligencias múltiples como un factor clave para el aprendizaje individual y significativo, generando más espacios inclusivos visibles con ambientes amigables que se adapten a los requerimientos de los estudiantes, y a través de la preparación constante de las y los educadores, esto con el propósito de cumplir con el ODS 4, que habla sobre promover una educación de calidad para todos y todas.
DISCRETE GROUP METHOD FOR A MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF THE DIFFUSION IN SWELLING GELATIN
Authors: Darania Parviz
Published: February 2024

In this article, we will introduce the mathematical model of the diffusion process in a swelling medium that has already been modeled. The main purpose of this paper is introducing a new class of group transformations for solving the nonlinear emulsion equation. Thus, we introduce this method as the discrete group methods based on solvable class orbits. One of the crucial advantages of this method is that a transformation is sought, which reduces the equation being investigated to some standard form for which the methods of integration are known. In developing this approach, one may construct all canonical forms of solvable equations.
Collisional Shaping of Nuclear Star Cluster Density Profiles
Authors: Rose Sanaea C. , MacLeod Morgan
Published: February 2024

A supermassive black hole surrounded by a dense, nuclear star cluster resides at the center of many galaxies. In this dense environment, high-velocity collisions frequently occur between stars. About 10% of the stars within the Milky Way’s nuclear star cluster collide with other stars before evolving off the main sequence. Collisions preferentially affect tightly bound stars, which orbit most quickly and pass through regions of the highest stellar density. Over time, collisions therefore shape the bulk properties of the nuclear star cluster. We examine the effect of collisions on the cluster’s stellar density profile. We show that collisions produce a turning point in the density profile, which can be determined analytically. Varying the initial density profile and collision model, we characterize the evolution of the stellar density profile over 10 Gyr. We find that old, initially cuspy populations exhibit a break around 0.1 pc in their density profile, while shallow density profiles retain their initial shape outside of 0.01 pc. The initial density profile is always preserved outside of a few tenths of a parsec irrespective of initial conditions. We generalize this model to an arbitrary galactic nucleus and show that the location of the collisional break can be simply estimated from the nuclear properties. Lastly, we comment on the implications of collisions for the luminosity and color of stars in the collisionally shaped inner cluster.
