Simposio 12: Utilidad del monitoreo continuo y de los infusores en diabetes mellitus tipo 2
Authors: Ruiz Morosini María Lidia
Published: October 2023

En los últimos años el advenimiento de nuevas tecnologías, como el monitoreo continuo de glucosa (MCG), ha impactado en el control glucémico y calidad de vida, dando una mirada integral que aporta muchos más datos como tendencia, variabilidad glucémica, hipoglucemias inadvertidas y patrones durante el sueño, ayunos prolongados, actividad física e intercurrencias. Aún así, en las personas con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) las evidencias para recomendar el MCG-RT o el MCG-flash/EI fueron escasas, si bien se han publicado varios estudios como Mobile, Diamond y Optimize exponiendo el beneficio con logro de menor HbA1c e hipoglucemias, y mayor tiempo en rango. La fuerte evidencia de asociación entre el TIR y el coeficiente de variación con la enfermedad cardiovascular y la vulnerabilidad de placa plantean la importancia de optimizar el control en esta población.

Las guías actuales consideran la indicación de MCG escaneado intermitente tipo flash a personas adultas con DM2 que reciben múltiples dosis de insulina diaria mal controlada, con hipoglucemia recurrente, deterioro de conciencia por hipoglucemia o discapacidad que impida el monitoreo capilar, aconsejando escaneo de al menos ocho veces al día.
Simposio 12: Heterogeneidad de la diabetes mellitus tipo 2: propuestas para redefinirla
Authors: Gagliardi Eugenia
Published: October 2023

La diabetes mellitus (DM) es la enfermedad de más rápido crecimiento en todo el mundo. Las estrategias de tratamiento existentes no han podido detener su curso progresivo y prevenir el desarrollo de complicaciones crónicas. Una explicación para estas deficiencias es que el diagnóstico de la DM se basa en la medición de un solo metabolito, la glucosa, pero la enfermedad es heterogénea con respecto a la presentación clínica y la progresión.

La distinción entre ambos tipos principales de DM se ha basado históricamente en la edad de inicio, el grado de pérdida de β función celular, el grado de resistencia a la insulina, la presencia de autoanticuerpos asociados a la DM y el requerimiento de tratamiento con insulina para la supervivencia. Sin embargo, ninguna de estas características distingue inequívocamente un tipo de DM del otro, ni explica todo el espectro de fenotipos. Así, los fenotipos de la DM1 y la DM2 son cada vez menos distintivos, con una prevalencia creciente de obesidad a una edad temprana, el reconocimiento de la proporción relativamente alta de casos incidentes de DM1 en la edad adulta y la aparición de DM2 en los jóvenes. Además, los desarrollos en genética molecular permitieron a los médicos identificar un número creciente de subtipos de DM.
Simposio 20: Enfoque inicial del paciente con enfermedad de hígado graso no alcohólica
Authors: Narváez Adrián
Published: October 2023

La esteatosis (hígado graso) se define como la infiltración grasa de más del 5% de los hepatocitos. Su prevalencia en la población general es de aproximadamente el 30%, y es superior en poblaciones especiales como diabetes mellitus (DM) y obesidad, además, con mayor posibilidad de progresar a formas más graves de la enfermedad.

La DM2 es uno de los predictores clínicos más fuertes de la progresión de esteatosis simple a esteatohepatitis no alcohólica (non alcoholic steato hepatitis, NASH) y cirrosis.

Bibliotherapy for Cancer Patients and Their Families
Authors: Janavičienė Daiva
Published: October 2023

Cancer patients experience severe health issues and the resulting emotional and psychological complications; therefore, in addition to medical treatment, they also need emotional/psychological support. Bibliotherapy is one of the possible ways of support. The study is aimed at developing a concept of bibliotherapy for cancer patients and providing practical recommendations for service organizers. It uses a targeted information search on bibliotherapy services in Lithuanian public libraries and a questionnaire survey. The concept of bibliotherapy is based on the theories of nursing, social work and library of science. Bibliotherapy services for cancer patients can be provided in primary health care settings or public libraries. The bibliotherapy service in libraries must be conducted in cooperation with medical professionals. The bibliotherapy service, which can be didactic/informative bibliotherapy (recommended reading lists), personal development bibliotherapy (reading services in public libraries), and reading groups (clubs), can be organized in public libraries or in institutions that provide emotional/psychological support. A number of reading clubs with elements of bibliotherapy have been introduced in Lithuanian libraries. A similar service has been identified for a target group, i.e., cancer patients. On the one hand, naming the target audience of the club may traumatize the potential beneficiaries of the service, and on the other hand, it allows for better dissemination of information and better access for patients. Cooperation between institutions is needed to enable patients to learn about bibliotherapy and to have more confidence in the service.

Published: October 2023

The main objective of this study was to assess the influence of family communication patterns on substance use disorders among the youth in selected rehabilitation centers in Nairobi, Kenya. The study was guided by the family structure theory. The research design was mixed method convergent parallel design. The target population was 303 youth in selected rehabilitation centers in Nairobi County, aged between 18-35 years and their parents. A sample of 172 clients was obtained and selected randomly to take part in quantitative study. Another 12 clients who had stayed in rehabilitation centers for the longest time were purposively selected in order to provide qualitative data. Similarly, 12 parents were conveniently selected in order to provide qualitative data. Therefore, the total sample size comprised of 196 respondents. Quantitative data was collected using FACES-IV, AUDIT 10, and DAST-10 questionnaires while qualitative data was collected using interview guides. Quantitative data analysis used descriptive statistics and inferential statistics while qualitative data was analysed thematically backed by narratives from respondents. The study found out that communication was very poor among the respondents. Further, there was indication of a weak and insignificant correlation between family communication and substance use disorder. From these findings, the study recommended that parents need to be firm as they bring up the youth and improve on communication patterns in order to improve on SUDs in one way or another.

Published: October 2023

Growth of Tylochromis bangwelensis (hump-back bream) in Bangweulu Lakes and Swamps Complex Fishery was investigated. The ultimate objective was to determine growth parameters of T. bangwelensis in Bangweulu Lakes and Swamps in the fishery. A sampling area (S 11o 19’ 24.6” and E 029o 34’ 16.9”) that represented the main landing sites was selected. The fish samples were procured from the local fisher’s catches for seven months from March 2019 to September 2019. Length measurements were taken from each fish specimen using a fish measuring board to the nearest one millimeter. Weight was measured using an electronic balance to the nearest one gramme. The reproductive biology were investigated by examining fish sex and maturity stages of the gonads. Length frequency histograms were also used to determine spawning seasonality. Mean lengths representing each peak from peaks of length frequency histograms plotted for all the specimens were collected. Growth parameters L∞ and k of the species were determined using the Ford-Walford plot. The asymptotic length, L∞ was estimated at 348mm and growth coefficient k was found to be 0.837.
Socio-demographic and Perception of Sea Cucumber Gatherers in Selected Areas in Mindanao, Philippines
Authors: Arriesgado Elgen
Published: October 2023

This work assesses the socio-demographic condition of sea cucumber gatherers in 11 selected areas in Mindanao, Philippines, to provide valuable insights into the contribution of the sea cucumber gathering to their daily lives. The data was obtained through focus group discussions and key informant interviews from August 2019 to January 2020. The results showed that the gatherers’ ages ranged from 19–90 years old, with the highest proportion at 37–42 (17%). Most gatherers are males (66.37%) and the head of the family, although females and children have a role in the fishery. The majority are married (97.54%), indicating that there are dependents who rely on their income. Half of the gatherers only finished elementary school (51.40%), resulting in few employment opportunities, thus increasing sea cucumber gathering dependency. Religious affiliations could also affect their time investments for this livelihood. The gatherers' average monthly household expenses are PHP 9,540.7 or 174.53 USD and are mostly spent on their food (PHP 6,714.9 or 122.84 USD). Sea cucumber gathering with supplemental livelihoods enhanced their economic condition, supported by their basic needs such as housing, lots, etc. Public transportation is difficult in most sampling areas, leading to having middlemen or traders that will process and consolidate the dried products, reducing their fare expenses. An increasing number of gatherers was observed, while policies were limited, site-specific, and not strictly implemented, making the sea cucumber resource vulnerable to over exploitation. The results emphasized the stakeholders' role in the fishery and are crucial for sea cucumber sustainability.

A morte tem identidade? Considerações tecidas a partir do romance Saramaguiano “as intermitências da morte”
Authors: Santos Nataly Yolanda Capelari
Published: October 2023

Este artigo aborda a representação da morte na obra "As Intermitências da Morte", de José Saramago, por meio de uma análise literária. Por meio de uma abordagem interdisciplinar, foram exploradas as visões de autores Elias (2001); Ariès (2012); e Simmel (1909) sobre a morte e o morrer; e Candau (2011) Bauman (2005) sobre identidade. Assim, na obra, a morte é retratada inicialmente como uma personagem temida e rejeitada pela sociedade, mas, após um período em que ninguém morre, sua identidade entra em conflito e se começa a se modificar. Nesse contexto, a morte se personifica como uma bela mulher, buscando compreender a experiência humana e questionar a natureza humana em contraste com sua própria essência. A relação entre a morte e a vida é explorada, destacando a importância da morte como um elemento que confere sentido à existência. A narrativa culmina em um encontro amoroso entre a morte e um músico, onde a morte decide não cumprir seu dever e se personifica. Esse desfecho simboliza a transformação da identidade e conhecimento sobre a morte, mostrando-a como uma entidade capaz de compreender emoções e experiências humanas.

Published: October 2023

Mango is the third most important tropical fruit crop after banana and citrus. Konkan region is a large mango producing belt on the west coast of Maharashtra, accounts for around 10% of the entire land under mango in the country. Anthracnose and powdery mildew, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Oidium mangiferae, respectively, are two important diseases impeding mango export and inflicting drastic yield losses in India. During the heavy wet season, losses from this disease were estimated to be 60% or greater. The diseasesdirectly reduce the amount and quality of collected products. Similarly, Powdery mildew is a widespread predisposing disease of panicles, bloom clusters, fruits, and foliage. Because of its effect on fruit set and development, the disease can reduce output by up to 70%. With the goal of managing plant disease with few inputs at an early stage, the current study intends to build disease detection models for anthracnose and powdery mildew of mango using Convolution neural networks (CNN) and Artificial neural networks (ANN). The teachable machine models developed using RGB images for detection of anthracnose and powdery mildew of mango and ANN model developed using thermal data of mango leaves infected with anthracnose disease performed very goodascomparedto the existing plant disease detectionmodels.

Published: October 2023

Pearl millet is infected by many diseases, which cause yield reduction and economic losses to the grower. Among several diseases, blast disease has emerged as a serious one, affecting both forage and grain production of pearl millet. The research work has been carried out at the Center for Crop Improvement, S. D. Agricultural University, S. K. Nagar, during the Kharif seasons of 2018 and 2019. The experiment comprising susceptible cultivars of pearl millet was conducted on varied planting dates (D1: 27th June, D2: 4th July, D3: 11th July, and D4: 18th July) to find out the appropriate date of sowing for management of blast under natural conditions. The minimum disease intensity (63.27%) was observed in the 4th July sown crop, followed by the 11th July sown crop (70.47%). The next treatment in merit was the 27th June sown crop (70.77%). The maximum intensity (72.49%) was recorded in the 18th July sown crop.
Computer Aided Disease Detection using Finger Nail Image Processing Technique
Authors: Sabiha Ansari  , Sunil Vijay
Published: October 2023

Human analysis is a method that can identify various diseases by examining different parts of the body. One of these is the fingernail, as it is the last organ in the body that receives oxygen. Because of this, it can sometimes exhibit early signs of a disease. More accurate findings may be produced by using digital image processing techniques to examine changes in human nails, making it possible to anticipate many illnesses with simplicity. The main focus of this study is on the role that nail colors, textures, forms, and flexibility play in illness prediction. Due to the limitations of human vision in differentiating minor colour changes, clinicians must rely on visual inspections of patients' nails in traditional illness detection procedures, which can be laborious and less reliable. Nail characteristics are detected using image analysis and digital image processing techniques include image capture, pre-processing, segmentation, and feature extraction. Normal healthy nails are glossy, pink, and smooth. However, this study examines multiple approaches used to analyse nail photos and find disorders. The objective is to advance beyond conventional observation-based methodologies and improve the precision and effectiveness of illness prediction.

A Study on the Relationship between Brand Image, Customer Satisfaction, and Repurchase Intentions
Authors:   The Korean Career·Entrepreneurship & Business Association, Park Sohyun , Park Joonun
Published: October 2023

To cope with various changes in consumer consumption patterns, companies are trying to enhance their brand awareness or use marketing to increase their competitiveness. Therefore, companies need to make efforts to gain a competitive advantage by forming a brand image and driving customer satisfaction and repurchase intentions.
The study aims to analyze the relationship between the brand image of a beauty training institution and the repurchase intentions, such as trainees' satisfaction, linked training, or retraining, and to present the directions and implications necessary to strengthen competitiveness through building competitive advantage and brand activation. To this end, a survey was conducted with a sample of about 280 people training at beauty training institutions in the metropolitan area. Using SPSS WIN 12.0, frequency analysis to identify general characteristics and reliability analysis (Cronbach' a) were performed for each measurement item of variables. Multiple regression analysis and mediation effect analysis were conducted on the relationship between brand image, customer satisfaction, and repurchase intentions.
The hypothesis was established by dividing the brand image into functional image and symbolic image, and the relationship between the brand image of the training institution along with the satisfaction of the trainees and the intention of repurchase was analyzed. As a result, it was found that the functional and symbolic image of the brand had a positive (+) effect on customer satisfaction, and the affected customer satisfaction had a positive (+) effect on consumer repurchase intentions. The mediated effect of customer satisfaction was partially adopted.
Although this study has limitations that did not consider all the characteristics of beauty fields such as hair beauty, makeup, skincare, and nail beauty, the importance of brand image was emphasized once again in the environmental change of the beauty industry due to the popularization and specialization of the existing small beauty industry. Furthermore, the brand image will draw more attention, providing the basis for training institutions to be competitive and seek ways to develop the company.
Here’s Little Richard
Authors: Bassett Jordan
Published: October 2023

From male bisexuality to religion in pop, Little Richard spent the 1950s pioneering ideas that are still too challenging for the mainstream. As a Black multimillionaire rock star, he was the most exciting person on the planet between 1955 and 1957, the years in which his seismic debut album was created.

Featuring new interviews with famous fans including Sir Elton John, Dave Grohl, Joan Jett and Nile Rodgers, this is the first in-depth look at Here’s Little Richard since Richard Penniman’s death in May 2020. The book explores his roots in the queer underground of the American South, a scene so progressive you’d scarcely believe it thrived seven decades ago, and early rebel music such as jump blues, which soon collided with the emerging juggernaut that was rock’n’roll. When that weird alchemy occurred, the self-proclaimed Living Flame was ready to spark the likes of The Beatles, David Bowie and Prince into existence.

Those close to the tale pinpoint the ways in which ‘Long Tall Sally’ and ‘Tutti Frutti’ remain omnipresent – and why the latter was the ‘WAP’ of its day. This is the story of how Little Richard changed the world in 28 minutes and 30 seconds. A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-lop-bam-boom!
Krautrock
Authors: Gu Marshall
Published: October 2023

Krautrock is not a music genre. Krautrock is a way of life. Its sonic diversity and global reach belie the common culture from where it emerged. This is a band-by-band history.

In May 1945, the Allies defeated Nazi Germany, putting an end to the European front of World War II and the Third Reich. In the immediate aftermath, German youth were tasked to create their own culture. Krautrock is this unlikely success story, as hundreds of bands—including Kraftwerk and Can—seemed to sprout overnight in the early 1970s, forging a unique and experimental sound that was different than American or British rock. The major innovation of krautrock is not only its motorik beat, the steady click-click of Can’s Jaki Liebezeit or monolithic stomp-stomp of Neu!’s Klaus Dinger, but also how the musicians relate to each other. In krautrock, no musician is given more focus than any other, and listening to these bands is to witness interplay common in jazz music. Thus, krautrock represents German politics reflected in music: a dictatorship replaced by democracy.

Krautrock explores the history and methodology of the genre, charting its influences and innovations, its more mainstream acts (like Faust, Kraftwerk, and Can) as well as the less universally known (including Harmonia, Popol Vuh, Embryo, and Ash Ra Tempel), and how the genre developed in post-war Germany and what it means to today's listeners.
A violência escolar: diagnóstico e propostas de solução
Authors: Carmo Barbosa Jean , Tourinho Pereira Rosemary , Lemos Gonçalves Fabiana , Regina Melo Salviano Ana
Published: October 2023

As pesquisas perpassam pela compreensão da problemática da violência numa perspectiva histórico-social, buscando apresentar o conjunto de características e definições da violência, que são frutos de padrões sociais diversos e de formas distintas de expressão. Portanto, as pesquisas são necessárias para compreender o fenômeno da violência na íntegra, mas também apresentar soluções e atuar nos contextos locais. Assim, pesquisas de diagnose sobre a violência escolar, que eram geralmente realizadas, centravam-se na própria escola e não propunham solução para o problema. Nestas, ao lado da diagnose ter sido feita de forma abrangente, onde participou toda a comunidade escolar, foram também propostas soluções. As categorias propostas apresentadas pelos dois trabalhos foram: o que é a violência escolar; as medidas de prevenção e ação no combate à violência na escola; as causas e as consequências da violência escolar; as formas de violência na escola e a educação desconstruindo a violência na escola; preparação do professor diante da violência na escola; o papel da escola, a APRESENTAÇÃO participação dos pais, o papel da comunidade e do Estado e a preparação para lidar com a violência. Aos dois orientados e à orientadora dos trabalhos, juntaram-se mais três integrantes para a elaboração deste E-Book: um profissional para a montagem do livro e mais duas outras pessoas (uma professora e uma estudante), para ajudar na elaboração dos outros componentes do livro (introdução, atualização e conclusão). Acreditamos que apresentar um livro com duas pesquisas, uma de diagnóstico e outra de propostas de solução será muito interessante e contribuirá muito com o leitor, sobretudo, em um contexto em que dados e pesquisas ainda demonstram um aumento da violência, de episódios de bullying e de discriminação no ambiente escolar Após estes dois trabalhos, tivemos mais dois anos de trabalho de intervenção (pesquisa-ação), colocando em prática os resultados destas pesquisas. Trabalhamos em uma escola pública do Plano Piloto-Brasília-DF, e em uma escola pública de Santa Maria - DF, ambos nas séries finais do ensino fundamental. Assim, os estudos demonstraram que as escolas se tornaram permeáveis a atos violentos, mas que é possível na atuação conjunta da escola e da comunidade escolar, realizar ações de prevenção à violência, entendendo que esse processo também perpassa pela valorização dos professores e dos profissionais de educação. Nesse sentido, visando apresentar estes trabalhos como forma de contribuir na disseminação de práticas e conteúdos sobre prevenção à violência, apresentamos diagnóstico e algumas soluções ao fenômeno da violência.

Experimentos glaciais: fazendo educação polar com gelo e outros ingredientes
Authors: Petsch Carina , Kunst Aline Vicente
Published: October 2023

A educação polar é um desafio para muitos docentes e alunos. Portanto, o objetivo deste artigo é apresentar a metodologia de criação de dois experimentos que abordam mudanças climáticas ocorrendo em ambientes polares e fazer o relato da oficina desenvolvida com alunos do Ensino Médio. A pesquisa expõe resultados das observações e dados obtidos com um questionário avaliativo. A atividade foi válida na medida em que os alunos foram sujeitos ativos, se colocando na posição de pesquisadores polares. A experiência sobre o Ártico foi mais complexa e os participantes compreenderam melhor alterações locais do que globais. Para a Antártica, todos os alunos fizeram de forma correta o gráfico de retração das geleiras, porém mostraram dificuldades ao relacionar com o aumento do nível do mar. Destaca-se a emergência da educação polar no âmbito da Geografia, além do maior debate do conceito (geo) sistêmico em aula.
Contribuições das geotecnologias para a governança de base comunitária

Published: October 2023

A cartografia foi durante muito tempo ferramenta de dominação nas mãos de grupos hegemônicos. Em função de críticas e questionamentos à maneira como se legitimava, iniciativas de mapeamentos pautadas nos conhecimentos de grupos anteriormente marginalizados se tornaram cada vez mais comuns, e trazem uma nova maneira de se produzir conhecimento acerca de seus territórios. Aliadas aos avanços tecnológicos, essas iniciativas se democratizaram e se apresentam mais eficientes em captar a realidade. Não só se tornou mais fácil adquirir dados georreferenciados, mas também editar e compartilhar esses dados. Nesse contexto, os SIGs participativos quebram com uma suposta neutralidade, que durante muito tempo permeou as geotecnologias. Neste trabalho, além de uma breve discussão conceitual, apresenta-se um estudo de caso a partir do empoderamento de uma comunidade quilombola da Baia da Ilha Grande no uso de recursos geotecnológicos com vistas à sua governança.
An Analysis of Turkish EFL Students’ Writing Errors
Authors: KADAN Ömer Faruk
Published: October 2023

Various errors come out during writing as it is a highly complicated skill and requires higher-order thinking skills to activate the cognitive processes. Determining these errors is crucial for eliminating them. Mostly preferred way for determining them is performing an Error Analysis (EA). Hence, employing a screening model, the study aimed to reveal types, categories, and sources of errors in Turkish EFL students’ writings as well as to explore potential differences in error frequencies based on their departments and genders by performing an EA. The data obtained from the research were analyzed through document analysis. The sample of the study included 42 students studying at ELT and ELL departments of a state university in Türkiye. All of them were in English preparatory classes and at B2 level. They were asked to write an essay in 150-250 words about one of the given topics. The error analysis revealed a total of 962 errors in Turkish EFL students’ writings. The errors were gathered under three types: grammatical, semantical, and mechanical errors. Among these, grammatical errors were the most prevalent, encompassing a wide range of categories including verb/tense errors, article errors, preposition errors, and others. Semantical errors, involving word choice, coherence, and ambiguity, followed next in frequency. Mechanical errors namely spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and contractions, were also prominent. The current study sought to explore whether there were statistically significant differences in error frequencies between students majoring in English Language Teaching (ELT) and English Language and Literature (ELL), as well as between female and male students. The analysis demonstrated that there were statistically no significant differences between the error frequencies of ELT and ELL students. On the other hand, a statistically significant difference was observed between error frequencies of female and male students. Female students produced less errors compared to the male ones.
