Conclusão: recomenda-se o desenvolvimento de novos estudos, em outros ambientes, o que poderá permitir uma maior amplitude no uso de RV, por profissionais de saúde, em especial dos enfermeiros, na assistência prestada aos idosos.
Breeding and management of wild birds in the semi-arid region of Paraíba, Brazil
Authors: Soares H. K. L. , Santos S. S. , Loures-Ribeiro A. , Guzzi A. , Lucena R. F. P.
Published: November 2024

Abstract The breeding of wild birds as pets is directly related to cultural, socioeconomic and decline issues of the species involved. In this perspective, the study surveyed the knowledge of local breeders of captive wild birds, as well as the management practices and commercialization aspects of the animals and the socio-cultural context involved with this activity in the Brazilian state of Paraíba. Data were collected from four informants through semi-structured questionnaires, addressing aspects of captive breeding of wild birds. Three species were recorded: Sporophila angolensis, S. bouvreuil and Sicalis flaveola. The species are kept mainly because of the beauty of their songs and the potential for their use in rinhas (bird fighting), factors also responsible for the commercialization of the species. The aspects involved in maintenance vary among breeders and according to interspecific factors. However, the selection and reproduction of the species are related to behavioural factors (singing ability and potential for rinhas). The data show that the breeding and management of wild birds is a complex activity in a socio-cultural and economic context, with more studies required to understand the dynamics involved in this process including whether or not these forms of management interfere with the genetics of the birds species through the artificial selection process.

Published: November 2024

Abstract Neglected tropical diseases (NTD) are chronic infectious diseases affecting low-income populations (mainly in tropical and subtropical climates), characterized by high morbidity and low mortality. This study described the epidemiology of mortality from NTDs in the state of Maranhão, Brazil. Data from the Brazilian Mortality Information System evidenced 2,642 deaths from NTDs between 2001 and 2021; 31.13% were related to leishmaniasis (mainly the visceral form) and 20.82% to leprosy. A total of 211 municipalities in Maranhão had registered mortality due to NTDs. We identified, high-risk spatial and spatiotemporal conglomerates in the western and southern areas of Maranhão, comprising mostly municipalities with high social vulnerability and low human development. Integrated mapping of NTDs may allow the development of public intervention policies and is an important strategy to control and eliminate NTDs in the most affected populations.
Natural mortality of fish: a review

Published: November 2024

Abstract This paper analyzed the scientific production on natural mortality (M) in fish, in order to understand the existing methods and identify the most commonly used ones. Research was carried out in the Web of Science database (WoS), using bibliometric and systematic analysis methods to evaluate scientific production using the following indicators: relevance of scientific journals, scientific recognition of papers, relevance of authors and co-occurrence of keywords. The bibliographic portfolio was composed of the hundred most cited papers of the WoS. The most relevant papers are reviews on the topic studied, which justifies the number of citations. The most cited researchers were the authors of the main estimators of M. The keywords of greatest occurrence were: natural mortality, growth and age. Of the total papers, only 19 estimated M for 28 species. Of these papers, 58% studied population dynamics and 42% made assessments of fish stocks. The most commonly used estimators were Hoenig (1983) and Pauly (1980b). Given the results obtained, it is important to develop more sophisticated methods, taking into account new approaches, such as temperature variation within this estimator, which was not observed in any of the methods.

Resumo Apresentamos um relato de caso acerca de um paciente portador de aneurisma sacular de artéria hepática, com diâmetro máximo de 2,8 cm, sem colo proximal e com acometimento da bifurcação da artéria hepática própria, denotando anatomia hostil para tratamento endovascular, que geralmente é a primeira escolha para esses casos. Realizamos tratamento cirúrgico aberto com ressecção e reconstrução a partir de substituto autólogo (veia safena interna). Ilustramos a técnica cirúrgica empregada para a adequada exposição vascular do tronco celíaco e hilo hepático, que muitas vezes é uma área pouco explorada pelo cirurgião vascular, além dos cuidados necessários com estruturas anatomicamente próximas à artéria hepática e da técnica de anastomose com telescopagem. Demonstramos a necessidade de que o cirurgião vascular, mesmo na era dos procedimentos minimamente invasivos, domine a anatomia e a técnica cirúrgica clássica sobre ramos viscerais.

Published: November 2024

Abstract We report the case of a patient with a saccular aneurysm of the hepatic artery with maximum diameter of 2.8 cm, no proximal neck, and involving the bifurcation of the proper hepatic artery, constituting a hostile anatomy for endovascular treatment, which would usually be the first choice for such cases. We performed open surgical treatment with resection and reconstruction using an autologous graft (internal saphenous vein). We illustrate the surgical technique used for adequate vascular exposure of the celiac trunk and hepatic hilum (which is often an area little explored by vascular surgeons) and of structures anatomically close to the hepatic artery. We also illustrate the anastomosis with telescoping technique. We demonstrate the need for vascular surgeons to master the anatomy and classical surgical technique for visceral branches, even in the era of minimally invasive procedures.

ABSTRACT Essential oils used as bioherbicides are a promising alternative in agriculture. This study aimed to assess the phytotoxic potential of Piper marginatum essential oil through an in vitro study with detached and post-emergence leaves of three commercial species (lettuce, pepper, and tomato) and a weed (Spermacoce verticillata). The experiments were conducted in a randomized design with six treatments that consisted of four concentrations of essential oil (0.001, 0.01, 0.1, and 1% [v/v]) and two control treatments (distilled water, and 1% polysorbate 80 in distilled water). The P. marginatum essential oil had a phytotoxic effect on the leaves of the experimental species. The highest essential oil concentration resulted in greater toxicity effects on tomato, lettuce, and pepper leaves. The 0.1% essential oil concentration completely destroyed the S. verticillata leaves. Seven days after application, the P. marginatum essential oil did not show adverse effects on plant growth in the post-emergence phase. It is recommended to investigate its possible phytotoxic activity in other phases of plant development to understand its mode of action and potential as an alternative to developing bioproducts for weed control.
The impacts of wild boars (Sus scrofa) on fish community and on instream physical habitat of two small streams in a protected area in Brazil

Published: November 2024

Abstract Despite the wild boar’s alarming invasive status, little is known about its impacts on aquatic environments. We assessed whether there were changes in the physical habitat of Neotropical streams and their ichthyofaunas after the record of wild boar populations in a conservation unit in Southeastern Brazil. We characterized the physical habitat and the fish community of two streams five times between 2009 and 2022. We found differences after the wild boar invasion. The amount of fine sediment inside the streams and exposed soil increased, while the bank angle decreased. There were also modifications regarding the fish fauna, including the local disappearance of two species and the constant decline of others. Although the sampling design does not allow for the establishment of a cause-effect relationship, these changes appear to be related to alterations in the physical habitats due to the wild boar’ behavior of forming large puddles in the stream beds. This is the first long-term study to make indirect inference of a possible effect of wild boar invasion on fish community level on streams. We highlight the urgent need for similar studies in aquatic environments, especially in tropical regions, where the abundance and distribution of wild boars are increasing.

ABSTRACT (Spermatozopsis exsultans Korshikov (Chlorophyceae, Dunaliellaceae) in the freshwater environments from southern Brazil). Spermatozopsis exsultans Korshikov is distributed in freshwater plankton across different countries but rarely is mentioned in Brazilian waters. Our study aimed to show the morphology and ecological preferences of the species in two distinct environments in subtropical system. Phytoplankton sampling was carried out monthly in six stations in Guaíba Lake (January 2021 to April 2022), and in six stations along the upper, middle, and lower course of Ibirapuitã River, autumn and spring 2011 and autumn 2012. Spermatozopsis exsultans is a curved spirally twisted microalgae with parietal plastids without pyrenoid, around 10 µm length, with four flagella of equal size. The species showed an increased density in the summer season, which correlated positively with the water temperature, transparency, and electric conductivity. Spermatozopsis exsultans was shown to be a species that preferred warm waters, rich in nutrients, and high luminosity in the subtropical system.

This review examines hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in cases of surgical menopause following gynecological malignancies. It aims to capture current knowledge, summarize recent findings, and provide recommendations for clinical settings. Unlike natural menopause, surgical menopause occurs abruptly, without an adjustment period, and is associated with a notably higher risk of fractures, arthritis, cognitive decline, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and various metabolic disorders affecting glucose and lipid levels—all of which contribute to an increased risk of major cardiovascular events. In 2017, The North American Menopause Society recommended that, barring contraindications, HRT should be initiated in women who enter surgical menopause before age 45. If these women do not experience vasomotor symptoms or other issues, HRT should be maintained consistently at least until age 52. This guideline reflects contemporary knowledge and is the result of a multidisciplinary consensus, based on a review of existing literature and several randomized clinical trials focusing on women who have survived gynecological cancers and whose quality of life is significantly impacted by surgical or early menopause. Estrogen supplementation is particularly beneficial, as it is linked to marked improvements in quality of life, including delayed onset of chronic cardiovascular issues, reduced fracture risk, enhanced cognitive function, reduced inflammation, and improved self-esteem, as well as better social and work performance. Clinical implementation of HRT, however, requires a highly individualized approach. This approach must consider the type and stage of malignancy, histopathological characteristics, risk factors for recurrence (such as diet, concurrent medications, medical history, and genetic predispositions), and a thorough assessment of the potential benefits and risks of HRT, as well as the patient’s personal wishes and expectations.

18 Loci Variant Installation Protocol (ABE)-LDLuptake v1
Authors: Vinh Phan Quang , Ryu Jayoung
Published: November 2024

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with various traits and diseases, yet understanding the functional consequences of these variants remains challenging. We have chosen a set of 18 loci associated with cholesterol traits (LDL-C and HDL-C) in a recent trans-ancestry GWAS (Graham et al 2021, Nature, GLGC consortium). Genes within these loci have coding burden for these same traits and/or are known monogenic disease genes, and importantly, targeting these genes gives robust phenotypes in CRISPR screens using cholesterol-related phenotypic assays. We have used human genetic evidence to select ~2,500 variants within these 18 loci to evaluate, including variants with strong GWAS evidence and variants with strong evidence as liver eQTLs through fine-mapping and/or linkage to sentinel variants. This protocol describes pooled LDL uptake screen using CRISPR base editing screening to install all variants in a human hepatocyte cell line, with the goal of gaining insight into causal variants and genes at the selected 18 loci.

REFLECTIONS ON CONGRESSIONAL BIPARTISAN SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE NOW AND BEFORE UKRAINE’S INDEPENDENCE
Authors:   Ukrainian Association for American Studies, Washington, DC, USA, Deychakiwsky Orest Steven
Published: November 2024

This paper discusses bipartisan US Congressional Ukraine support and advocacy efforts over the course of more than a century. It examines Congress’ extraordinary focus on Russia’s war against Ukraine and the difficult but ultimately successful April 2024 passage of the Ukraine supplemental assistance. The paper then looks back at the history of Congressional activity with respect to Ukraine prior to the re-establishment of Ukraine’s independence in 1991. It examines the peak of Congressional activity in the decade and a half leading up to independence, highlighting the role of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (a.k.a U.S. Helsinki Commission). This pre-independence Congressional activity, greatly abetted by the Ukrainian American community, took place in an environment in which little was known about Ukraine and the Ukrainian people’s aspirations in U.S. policy circles and public. This period laid the groundwork for greater U.S. political and material support following independence. Senators and Congressmen from both major U.S. political parties supported Ukraine prior to independence. This bipartisan Congressional support continues to this day, notwithstanding the challenges from the isolationist right wing of the Republican party.

Authors: Zorin Vyacheslav I. , Vissarionov Sergei V. , Makarov Alexandr Y. , Rybinskikh Timofey S. , Rodionova Kristina N.
Published: November 2024

Background. Amputation was historically the primary surgical intervention for children with limb bone sarcomas. However, the development and refinement of chemotherapy and radiotherapy protocols, along with advances in surgical techniques and implants, have significantly altered the treatment landscape for these patients. Currently, limb-sparing oncologic arthroplasty is the preferred surgical approach for treating limb sarcomas in children.
The aim of the systematic review is to analyse the outcomes of oncologic arthroplasty in children and adolescents.
Methods. A comprehensive literature search was performed in Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and eLIBRARY databases focusing on the keywords “endoprostheses, tumors, children”, from 2000 to 2024. Data collection included patient demographics (number of patients, gender, age), follow-up period, disease diagnosis, tumor location, type of endoprosthesis, complications, functional outcomes based on the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score (MSTS) in percentage, overall survival rates, and prosthesis survival rates.
Results. The review included the data from 30 articles on a total of 792 patients aged 2 to 18 years, with 422 males and 370 females. The average age was 11.4 years, and the average follow-up period was 6.5 years. Osteosarcoma was the most common diagnosis, accounting for 716 (88.8%) cases, followed by Ewing sarcoma with 67 (8.3%) cases. Distal femoral arthroplasties were performed most frequently (573 cases, 71.1%), followed by proximal tibial arthroplasty (148 cases, 18.3%). The most commonly used type of endoprosthesis was the non-invasively extendable type (540 cases, 67%). A total of 756 complications were recorded, resulting in a complication rate of 96%. The complications were predominantly oncologic (188 cases, 25%) and pediatric orthopedic (166 cases, 22%). The 5-year and 10-year overall survival rates were 81.68% and 77.63%, respectively, with an average prosthesis survival rate of 53.93%.
Conclusion. The data obtained indicate an extremely high frequency of complications during oncologic arthroplasty in children, mainly of an orthopedic profile, which requires analysis and development of measures to prevent them, as well as organizational solutions for the correction of these disorders.

Published: November 2024

Background: Preeclampsia (PE) caused 30%-40% of maternal and newborn deaths worldwide. Despite unclear exact cause, strategies exist to mitigate less severe PE effects. This review explores PE etiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, impact, and prevention.
Methods: Searching Scopus, PubMed, ProQuest, Google Scholar, and Science Direct for “preeclampsia and pregnancy” and “prevention” yielded 2012–2022 articles.
Results: Preeclampsia features abnormal placental changes, altered immunity response, trophoblast apoptosis, and reduced uterine perfusion. Risk factors include hypertension history, nulliparity, age over 40, BMI over 35 kg/m², family history, amniotic pregnancy, and long pregnancy interval. This condition risks cardiovascular and neonatal morbidity, straining health resources. Prevention involves aspirin, vitamin D, exercise, folic acid, diet, early screening, and antenatal care.
Conclusion: Findings emphasize enhancing health literacy and preeclampsia education in prenatal care to mitigate PE risk among women. Further research, novel therapies, and assessing prevention strategies with accessible educational materials and multidisciplinary approaches are warranted to enhance pregnant women's health literacy and decrease PE risk.

Authors: Zandi Saeid , Esmaeili Masoumeh , Farahbakhsh Kumars
Published: November 2024

Aim: Administrative corruption prevention in Iran lacks models based on psychological research. This study aimed to design and validate the "administrative corruption prevention model based on psycho-contextual etiology and representation of the impacts of administrative corruption on citizens' lives".
Methods: In the first phase (identification of the perception of public employees about the psychological and contextual factors that prevent corruption), data were collected using phenomenological method and semi-structured interviews with 14 public employees working in public sector organizations in Tehran, who were selected using convenience sampling and considering saturation principle. In the second phase (identification of the citizens’ perception about the effects of corruption on their lives), data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with 15 Tehran residents, who were recruited via convenience sampling and considering conceptual saturation. In the third phase (determining the dimensions and components of the model), using delphi method and surveying eight experts, who were selected via the purposive sampling, the model was assessed and modified.
Results: The results of data analysis in the first phase led to formation of six main themes: cognitive characteristics, emotional patterns, personality characteristics, behavioral strategies, familial background, and organizational context. In the second phase, two main themes emerged: negative individual consequences and negative collective consequences. The third phase showed that the agreement of the expert panel with the whole model was 92.61% and with each component was 88% or higher, confirming the validity of the model. The model was finalized with five dimensions and 13 components. The dimensions are: ‘appropriate selection and appointment’, ‘individual and group counseling interventions’, ‘behavioral strategies training’, ‘organizational culture modification and promotion’, and ‘monitoring and feedback’.
Conclusion: A set of individual and contextual components have a potential role in self-control towards committing corruption. The presented model can be used and evaluated in designing and implementing preventive programs.
A Comparative Study of the Meaning of Life in the Atheistic Existentialism and the Quranic View of Allameh Tabataba’i
Authors: Fahli Ebrahim
Published: November 2024

Aim: The current research aimed to conduct a comparative study of the meaning of life in atheistic existentialism and the Quranic view of Allameh Tabataba’i.
Methods: This research was carried out with a qualitative approach and the thematic analysis method of Brown and Clark and the comparative method of Brady. The research population includes all the documents, written sources and articles related to the subject and the purposeful sampling method and the adequacy of the sample size of the studied documents was obtained through the data saturation method. The research tool was document analysis, whose validity was examined by the Lincoln and Goba method concerning four criteria of credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability, and the data were analyzed by the thematic analysis method.
Results: In the analysis of the themes, it was found that the atheistic existentialism and the Qur'anic view of Allameh Tabataba'i could be investigated and recognized with 3 themes respectively in the fields of epistemology, cosmology and anthropology.
Conclusion: The results indicated a consensus between the two perspectives on humans' existential need for the meaning of life and the emergence of a psychological crisis in case of any disruption in its realization. Atheistic existentialism and the Quranic view of Allameh Tabataba’i were significantly different in the possibility of meaning achievement, the ways of acquiring meaning, and whether to find or construct meaning (epistemology), the purposefulness of the world and the existence of the resurrection (cosmology), and human purpose in the world, the pre-birth essence, existential anxiety, and the existence of the soul and the inherent value of human (anthropology). These fundamental differences can be attributed to the human- and God-centered perspectives in atheistic existentialism and the Quranic view of Allameh Tabataba’i, respectively.

Authors: Nampalli Rama Chandra Rao
Published: November 2024

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning technologies offers significant opportunities to enhance predictive maintenance strategies within the rail infrastructure sector. This paper explores the integration of AI-driven methodologies to forecast maintenance needs, thereby improving safety and minimizing operational downtime. We present a comprehensive framework that utilizes machine learning algorithms to analyze large datasets from sensors, historical maintenance records, and operational metrics. By identifying patterns and predicting potential failures before they occur, our approach not only optimizes maintenance schedules but also extends the lifespan of rail assets. Case studies demonstrate the efficacy of these techniques in real-world scenarios, highlighting reduced costs, enhanced safety measures, and improved service reliability. The findings underscore the transformative potential of leveraging AI and deep learning in revolutionizing rail infrastructure management, paving the way for smarter, more resilient rail systems.

Published: November 2024

Background: Citronella oil from Cymbopogon nardus L. is used in various fields, including health, industry and pharmaceuticals. Efforts to increase the content and quality of essential oils in this research were made with the application of magnesium sulfate. Rhizosphere microorganisms, which act as biological fertilizers, are applied to assist in the absorption of nutrients. This research aims to determine the interaction between the type of rhizosphere microorganisms and the dose of MgSO4 on growth, essential oil yield and essential oil content in C. nardus. Methods: The research was carried out from February to August 2023. The research used a randomized block design arranged factorially with three replications. The first factor is the type of rhizosphere microorganisms (without RM, PGPR and AMF) and the second factor is the MgSO4 fertilizer dose (0, 190, 285 and 280 kg ha-1). Result: Providing MgSO4 fertilizer can increase the growth and yield of essential oils of C. nardus. The application of PGPR and AMF can increase efficiency of MgSO4 fertilization. Treatment without administering rhizosphere microorganisms required a higher dose of MgSO4 compared to PGPR and AMF treatments. To increase growth variables and essential oil quality, treatment without rhizosphere microorganisms requires MgSO4 of 380 kg ha-1, while PGPR and AMF only require MgSO4 at a dose of 190-285 kg ha-1.

Published: November 2024

Background: Chickpea productivity in the last decade has been declined due to improper management of inorganic and organic nutrient sources and it has been contended that the usual native soil rhizobial populations are insufficient/ineffective in N2 – fixation. Rhizobium based biofertilizers may substitute nitrogenous chemical fertilizers and provide a suitable way of achieving sustainable production. The effective use of exogeneous application of nano emulsion biofertilizer can enhance yield by reducing flower drop, regulating pod formation besides improving soil quality. In view of above consideration, the present investigation entitled “Morphological and productivity response of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) to nano biofertilization” was carried out. Methods: The field experiment was conducted on sandy clayey loam soil during two consecutive Rabi seasons of 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (Factor) with three replications, assigning 45 treatments consisting of five soil applications (100% RDF; 100% RDF + FYM; 100% RDF + Vermicompost; 75% RDF + FYM; and 75% RDF + Vermicompost) as first factor and three foliar applications (Nano DAP; Nano Urea and Nano emulsion biofertilizer) as second factor treatments. Result: Application of Nano emulsion biofertilizer to chickpea variety (NBeG-49) at harvest had shown significant higher plant height (35.03 cm), dry matter production (3251.43 kg ha-1), leaf area index (0.90), crop growth rate (1.59 gm-2 day-1), relative growth rate (26.3 mg g-1 day-1), chlorophyll (SPAD value) (58.22), number of pods/plant (24.93), seed yield (1111.60 kg ha-1), straw yield (2501.10 kg ha-1) and nitrogen uptake (70.56 kg ha-1), phosphorus uptake (203.21 kg ha-1) and potassium uptake (54.30 kg ha-1).

Published: November 2024

El crecimiento sostenido del sector de las telecomunicaciones ha llevado a muchas pequeñas y medianas empresas (PYME) a involucrarse en proyectos que, a menudo, no son rentables ni en tiempo ni en costes debido a la falta de un modelo de gestión de proyectos que responda a las necesidades de este tipo de empresas. En este artículo se propone un modelo de gestión de proyectos basado en la mejora continua de procesos bajo el enfoque lean y de agilidad, y se considera como caso de estudio una mediana empresa del sector. Se observó una reducción del 50% en el plazo de ejecución de los proyectos, se eliminaron en un 70% los reprocesos y las horas extraordinarias, al tiempo que se aseguró la calidad y aumentó la probabilidad de éxito de los proyectos. Así pues, la aplicación de este modelo resuelve el problema estudiado.
