Authors: O. Uspekhova  , Yu. Morozov  , N. Gani  , Md. Kafil Uddin
Published: December 2024

Hyaluronic acid is chemically a repeating glycosaminoglycan (disaccharide of D- glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine), the presence of which has been established in many human organs and tissues. In vivo, this disaccharide is produced by epithelial cells of the synovial membranes of joints. The highest level of hyaluronic acid is found in the skin. Due to their high biological compatibility, hyaluronic acid preparations are used as injectable dermal fillers in cosmetology. Hyaluronic acid is believed to promote accelerated wound healing after facial plastic surgery. In recent years, fillers based on hyaluronic acid have been used for surgical interventions on the genitals. There are separate publications on the adverse outcomes of such operations related to non-compliance with standard operating procedures, protocols of operations, and the participation of unqualified personnel. The purpose of our study is to describe the signs of complications that occurred after injections of hyaluronic acid fillers. In this paper, we have summarized the available publications on such outcomes and our own case of forensic establishment of a fatal pulmonary embolism that occurred after injections with hyaluronic acid preparations of a man's penis. The studied materials are combined into one table. A comparative analysis of these observations indicates that after injections of fillers based on hyaluronic acid, in particular in the genital area, there is a risk of developing pulmonary disorders, up to the onset of a fatal outcome.

Authors:   Department of Landscape Architecture, Faculty of Design and Architecture, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia, Xu Tengyun
Published: December 2024

The world's rapid urbanization has led to the emergence of hundreds of alleys between towering skyscrapers. Nowadays, there is numerous safety issues associated with urban alleys and people often associate these alleys with dirt, crime and fear. Consequently, using urban alleys hinders people-especially women-from obtaining basic essentials for safety. Numerous studies have indicated that women perceive cities differently than males and they typically feel more uneasy in public places. The purpose of this article is to investigate strategies and features that can enhance the safety of female pedestrians in urban alleys. After thoroughly examining the Web of Science and Scopus databases, 45 publications were identified. These articles were selected by incorporating keywords such as urban alleys, safety, female users and relevant keywords. The review encompasses information on data collection methods, sample strategies, data analysis and outcome analysis. The study reveals that physical factors, social, psychological and crime prevention factors also influence how women use urban alleys. Nevertheless, women's perceptions of the safety of urban alleys are significantly influenced by physical factors. Ultimately, these findings provide managers, planners and urban designers with valuable insights to establish a foundation for safer urban settings.

A conventional “Magallanes” Pummelo orchard in Brgy. Minda, Carmen, Davao del Norte, Philippines was selected to assess thrips species composition, population density, and associated natural enemies. The insecticide treated pummelo orchard was situated adjacent to vast Cavendish banana plantations. Thrips were collected weekly from September 2017 to July 2018 from five different randomly selected flowering pummelo trees by destructive sampling and yellow sticky trap methods. Thrips were sorted and examined under the microscope. Findings of the study showed that Thrips hawaiiensis (Morgan), (Thripidae: Thripinae) was the only species of thrips infesting “Magallanes” pummelo. This constitutes the first report in this host variety. Thrips hawaiiensis population fluctuated within the six phenological stages of pummelo fruiting cycle but was significantly high at the peak of flowering stage. Population started to decline at petal fall and fruit development stages although the pummelos still produced small numbers of new terminal shoots. These shoots provided stable food source for remaining thrips larvae. Population was significantly low when the fruits are at harvestable stage (p < 0.01). Among the weather variables monitored temperature had very low coefficient value (r = 0.09) with a positive relationship to thrips population; however, together with rainfall and relative humidity, statistical significance value did not significantly (p > 0.05) influence thrips population. Furthermore, absence of parasitoids during the whole duration of the study may have been affected by the conventional pest management continuously being practiced by plantation owners of using broad spectrum insecticides that may have affected the non-target species in the area.

Authors: Altıntaş Funda
Published: December 2024

In Turkiye, English is taught at primary level in public institutions for two hours a week. However, studies show that more than two hours per week are needed for natural learning of the language. Therefore, it is necessary to create an environment where students can practise English outside class. It is a well-known fact that technological tools and applications for effective language learning contribute to the second language learning processes of today's primary school students at the point of increasing interest and motivation in the classroom. In this study, additional materials prepared using AI tools were translated from text to audio using AI applications and content that students can access anytime, anywhere via eba or reliable chat applications. This allowed the students to improve their English listening and speaking skills while not being exposed to online video sharing and social media tools outside of the class. The research is an action research study.  The participants were 50, 2nd grade students from Binali Yıldırım Primary School in Tuzla District, Istanbul Province. Qualitative and quantitative tools were used together to collect data. Interviews with students and teachers and observations were used as qualitative data collection tools. Qualitative data showed that podcasts narrated with children's voices using artificial intelligence tools attracted students' attention, and their desire and motivation to listen and create podcasts increased throughout the study. SPSS analyses of quantitative data from pre- and post-tests administered at the beginning and end of the study were conducted and it was found that podcasts reduced students' classroom anxiety. The study findings show that podcasts can effectively improve students' listening and speaking skills and reduce English class anxiety. It is possible to use time- and energy-saving content prepared with artificial intelligence tools to enrich English lessons.

Authors: Liao Yifu
Published: December 2024

Hunan Flower Drum Opera is a treasure of Chinese local opera, occupying an important position in the history of Chinese opera development with its unique artistic charm and profound cultural heritage. However, in the face of the rapid changes in modern society, Hunan Flower Drum Opera is facing many challenges, such as the discontinuity of inheritance, the loss of audiences, and the lack of innovation. Based on the theoretical perspective of "living inheritance" and the development of Hunan Flower Drum Opera, this paper uses methods such as literature analysis, field research, and in-depth interviews to analyse the difficulties faced by the inheritance and development of Hunan Flower Drum Opera. The research shows that in order to achieve sustainable development, Hunan Flower Drum Opera must be based on tradition and oriented towards the modern world, and transform and upgrade itself through inheritance and innovation. Specifically, it is necessary to strengthen theoretical research and deepen the connotation of "living inheritance"; innovate performance forms and enhance artistic taste; expand communication channels and cultivate new audiences; improve the talent training system and stimulate endogenous motivation for inheritance; and strengthen policy support and create a good environment for development. This study aims to provide theoretical inspiration and practical guidance for the inheritance and development of Hunan Flower Drum Opera and other traditional opera arts, and to provide useful reference for the creative transformation and innovative development of traditional culture in the modern context.

Análisis del Fenómeno Migratorio de Canadá, desde la Teoría del Sistema Mundo y la Teoría de Migración de la Economía Política Internacional (EPI)
Authors: Arteaga Alcivar Andrea , Andy Pauta Carlos Alfredo
Published: December 2024

El presente ensayo analiza el fenómeno migratorio en Canadá desde dos teorías fundamentales: la teoría del sistema-mundo y la teoría de la migración en la economía política internacional, en el período 2021-2022. Según la teoría del sistema-mundo, la migración se interpreta como una consecuencia de la desigualdad económica y la explotación de los países periféricos. Se explica cómo la migración hacia Canadá, un país ubicado en el centro del sistema mundo, se da en gran medida como resultado de la necesidad de las economías periféricas de cubrir su demanda laboral y compensar sus deficiencias productivas, mientras que a su vez los trabajadores migrantes buscan mejorar sus condiciones económicas y sociales. Desde la teoría de la economía política internacional se argumenta que la migración es un proceso profundamente enraizado en la estructura del sistema capitalista global, y que se da en el marco de una relación asimétrica entre países de origen y destino. Se explica cómo el sistema de migración canadiense está diseñado para atraer a trabajadores altamente calificados y cómo esto tiene un impacto en la dinámica de la migración en la región. En este contexto, se discute cómo la migración se ha convertido en un tema clave para la economía canadiense, y cómo el país ha logrado integrar exitosamente a los trabajadores migrantes en su sociedad. Se concluye que el fenómeno migratorio de Canadá es complejo y está enraizado en una variedad de factores, incluyendo la dinámica del sistema mundo y la economía política internacional, así como la política y la cultura canadienses. Se destacan los desafíos y oportunidades que enfrenta Canadá en términos de su futuro como país receptor de migrantes.

Authors: Kity Maurya  , Varsha Nigam Gour  , Anamika Singh
Published: December 2024

Recent advances in wound care have been propelled by the integration of stimuli responsive materials and innovative technologies, enabling the development of responsive and adaptive solutions. This paper presents a Stimuli responsive Nanohydrogel as wound dressing material that leverages the unique properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) and iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) nanoparticles to enhance wound healing and provide real-time monitoring capabilities. Material is designed using a hydrogel matrix, which is embedded with tracking key wound parameters, such as pH, temperature, moisture levels, and glucose concentration. Zinc oxide(ZnO) and iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) nanoparticles provides the material with enhanced antimicrobial properties, promoting a sterile healing environment and reducing the risk of infections. Additionally, these nanoparticles support tissue regeneration and possess anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to accelerated wound healing. Stimuli-responsive nanohydrogel works as a control unit, allowing for dynamic adjustments in drug release and moisture retention to match the wound's specific needs. This responsive feedback mechanism minimizes the need for frequent dressing changes, thereby reducing patient discomfort and healthcare costs. The stimuli responsive dressing material offers a promising solution for improved clinical outcomes and patient quality of life.

Authors: Mara Joy Marie , Anselmo Charlie
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical constituents, antimicrobial activities, and cytotoxicity of Barringtonia asiatica seed extract. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, tannins, cardiac glycosides, and flavonoids in both aqueous and ethanol extracts, with terpenoids and steroids present only in the ethanol extract. Antibacterial assays showed that both extracts exhibited resistance against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, with streptomycin being the most effective treatment. Antifungal assays demonstrated that commercial fungicides were the most effective against Fusarium verticillioides and Aspergillus niger, followed by B. asiatica ethanol and aqueous extracts. Cytotoxicity tests using brine shrimp lethality assay revealed that B. asiatica ethanol and aqueous extracts were highly toxic, with LC50 values of 24.55 ppm and 181.97 ppm, respectively. The presence of terpenoids, cardiac glycosides, and saponins may contribute to their cytotoxic effects. These findings suggest that B. asiatica seed extracts contain phytochemicals with potential antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties, warranting further drug discovery and development research.

Tumors, lesions, and pathologies in the midface often cause extensive damage to the mandible, complicating reconstruction and significantly impacting patients' lives. Reconstruction using microvascularized free bone grafts is preferred for extensive maxillomandibular defects, as it provides superior outcomes compared to non-vascularized methods. Therefore, this integrative literature review aims to critically analyze and synthesize the key issues surrounding the use of microvascularized bone flaps in maxillofacial reconstructions. The research was conducted in July 2024 using PubMed, BVS, Scopus, and ScienceDirect, covering a five-year period. Indexed descriptors from DeCS/MeSH, including "Bone Transplantation," "Mandibular Reconstruction," "Treatment Outcome," "Free Tissue," and "Fibula, Ilium," were employed and combined using Boolean operators (AND and OR), adapting them to the specificities of each database. Articles in English, Portuguese, or Spanish were selected, including clinical trials and cohort studies. This review adhered to the guidelines of the Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. The majority of the studies were retrospective cohort studies, providing a high level of evidence. They investigated vascularized free flaps, evaluating post-treatment characteristics, risk factors for complications or failures, and the influence of antibiotic therapy using demographic data, medical history, surgical data, imaging studies, and patient habits. Mandibular and maxillary reconstruction following trauma is crucial to restoring masticatory function, speech, and facial aesthetics. The use of microvascularized free bone grafts has significantly advanced, improving the form and function of the face and playing a critical role in patients' oral and functional rehabilitation.

Chronic pain (CP), defined as persistent pain lasting more than 3 to 6 months, is a common condition that leads to excessive opioid use and results in high public health costs. Seeking natural alternatives, cannabis has emerged due to its active components, THC and CBD, which have analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. This study reviewed the literature to evaluate the effects of medicinal cannabis use in the management of CP. Twelve relevant articles, published between 2021 and 2024, were selected. The results indicate that cannabis can be effective in reducing pain and decreasing opioid use, although transient side effects are common. Despite limitations, such as the lack of established protocols and the need for more research on long-term adverse effects, cannabis shows potential to improve the quality of life of CP patients and reduce public health expenditures.

Este artigo apresenta o método dos quatro eixos de cuidado, uma abordagem integral desenvolvida por mim, que abrange dimensões biológicas, psicológicas, sociais e espirituais. Cada eixo representa um pilar essencial que, em conjunto, sustenta a saúde mental. O eixo biológico aborda o corpo físico, o psicológico trata das emoções e percepções, o social considera a cultura e ambiente, e o espiritual enfoca as crenças que promovem esperança e sentido de vida. A crescente prevalência de transtornos mentais, como ansiedade e depressão, destaca a necessidade de abordagens integrativas. O artigo discute detalhadamente cada eixo e propõe estratégias práticas para sua implementação, visando intervenções mais eficazes e uma melhor qualidade de vida.

Ansiedade e estresse são fatores emocionais que podem desencadear hábitos parafuncionais e tensão muscular, auxiliando no aparecimento dos sinais e sintomas das DTM. Os fatores etiológicos das DTM estão diretamente relacionados a fatores oclusais, neuromusculares e emocionais, em média 50 a 60 % da população apresenta algum sinal ou sintoma de Disfunção Temporomandibular (DTM). O presente trabalho é fruto de pesquisa bibliográfica que objetivou identificar qual a influência do tratamento tardio do desgaste da articulação temporomandibular (DTM) e suas consequências na cronificação dos sintomas. O desgaste da Articulação Temporomandibular (DTM) não pode ser entendido por fatores apenas biológicos, mas também materializado por fatores sociais e psicológicos. Diante disso, o diagnóstico inicial, por profissionais da saúde, pode prevenir a progressão para um quadro de dor crônica, impactando assim na qualidade de vida e busca por tratamentos onerosos e complexos ao paciente. Objetivo: fazer análise bibliográfica da influência do sub-diagnóstico, ou pouca valorização por parte dos profissionais da saúde e do próprio paciente nos primeiros sintomas de Disfunção da Articulação Temporomandibular correlacionando com a progressão dessa.

While social media fosters connectivity and mental health awareness, excessive use has been linked to adverse outcomes such as anxiety, depression, and cyberbullying. It is utilizing theoretical frameworks such as Social Comparison Theory and the personal Model.Objectives: This study examines how curated online interactions influence psychological well-being. Methods: A systematic scoping review was conducted, encompassing recent studies from 2019 onward. Results: Findings reveal that age, developmental stage, and usage patterns significantly moderate the effects of social media on mental health. Emerging concerns include Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), sleep disturbances, and low self-esteem, particularly among adolescents and young adults. Despite its challenges, social media presents opportunities for mental health support through peer networks and online interventions. Conclusions: This review underscores the need for tailored strategies, digital literacy programs, and policy regulations to mitigate risks and maximize social media’s potential for positive mental health outcomes. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies, cross-cultural analyses, and innovative digital interventions to address gaps in understanding the complexities of social media's impact on mental health.
