British Cultural Studies, Film History, and Forgotten Horizons of Cultural Analysis
Authors: Acland Charles R.
Published: January 2024

This chapter traces the deep connections between British cultural studies and film studies, reminding us how central the teaching and analysis of popular film was to the formation of cultural studies. Of comparable importance to British cultural studies was the History Workshop at Oxford University, which advanced politically engaged forms of “people’s history,” amplifying the historical impact of women, workers, and colonial subjects. In the 1970s and 1980s, the events and publications of the History Workshop were a point of intersection between the new theoretical frames of cultural analysis and the traditions of radical history. Consequently, and generally underappreciated today, just as poststructuralist continental theory secured its purchase on film scholarship and cultural studies, new methods and materials of historical research were being explored and expanded to situate “popular arts,” including film, within cultural history.
Tipping the Scales of Film History
Authors: Schneider Alexandra , Hediger Vinzenz
Published: January 2024

Research in film studies has a long history of productively borrowing theories and concepts from other fields. Today, film culture and moving image practice are mostly based on computational technologies, and computer science has emerged as an important new source for models, scripts, and concepts for film research. “Scalability” is increasingly used to describe a desired feature in computational research designs, but also to characterize the medium of film itself. In response to advances in format theory and the emergence of computational methods in film history this contribution proposes to discuss the meanings and uses, but also the potential side effects, of the concept of scalability for film research. The contribution asks four interrelated questions: How do historical facts become data? Is film a scalable medium? Are film histories scalable? And what, if anything, about film is non-scalable, i.e. which are the facts of film history which do not compute?

Telencephalic organoids as model systems to study cortical development and diseases
Authors: Yang Woo Sub , Kiral Ferdi Ridvan , Park In-Hyun
Published: January 2024

The telencephalon is the largest region of the brain and processes critical brain activity. Despite much progress, our understanding of the telencephalon’s function, development, and pathophysiological processes remains largely incomplete. Recently, 3-dimensional brain models, known as brain organoids, have attracted considerable attention in modern neurobiological research. Brain organoids have been proven to be valuable for studying the neurodevelopmental principles and pathophysiology of the brain, as well as for developing potential therapeutics. Brain organoids can change the paradigm of current research, replacing animal models. However, there are still limitations, and efforts are needed to improve brain organoid models. In this review, we provide an overview of the development and function of the telencephalon, as well as the techniques and scientific methods used to create fully developed telencephalon organoids. Additionally, we explore the limitations and challenges of current brain organoids and potential future advancements.

شرط الاستيطان في جماعة المكلفين في صلاة الجمعة وتطبيقاته المعاصرة
Authors: Aldershewı Amer
Published: January 2024

ذكر الفقهاء لصحة صلاة الجمعة ووجوبها وانعقادها عدة شروط، ومن هذه الشروط التي ذكرها الفقهاء الاستيطان، ومعنى الاستيطان هو: الإقامة في مكان بِنيَّة عدم السَّفر منه إلَّا لحاجة ثم العودة إليه، والاستيطان بالنظر إلى مكان أداء صلاة الجمعة هو شرط صحة، فلا تصح الجمعة في أرض غير مستوطَنة كالصحاري وقمم الجبال، والاستيطان بالنظر إلى جماعة المكلفين المؤدية لصلاة الجمعة شرط صحة وجوب وانعقاد عند جمهور الفقهاء بخلاف الحنفية الذين لم يشترطوا الاستيطان. والإقامة القاطعة لأحكام السفر شرط وجوب لصلاة الجمعة على المكلف عند الجميع وهو وجوب تبعي. لكن الإقامة من غير استيطان المكان تجعل المكلف ممن لا تنعقد به صلاة الجمعة فلا يُحسب من العدد اللازم لانعقادها عند الجمهور بخلاف الحنفية، والذي انتهى إليه البحث أن الإقامة القاطعة لأحكام السفر كافية لوجوب صلاة الجمعة وصحتها وانعقادها بالمكلف دون النظر إلى استيطانه، فالنصوص الآمرة بصلاة الجمعة لم تفرق بين مستوطن أو غيره، وغيرها من النتائج التي تأتي نهاية البحث، ومن التطبيقات المعاصرة الإقامة في القرى والمدن المتهدمة نتيجة الزلازل والفيضانات والتفريق بين نية أهلها إعادة إعمارها أو تركها والانتقال إلى مكان آخر، ومن التطبيقات أيضاً مسألة طالبي اللجوء وهل يتحقق فيهم هذا الشرط أم لا، وغيرها من التطبيقات التي ستأتي.
Sensitivity of air quality model responses to emission changes: comparison of results based on four EU inventories through FAIRMODE benchmarking methodology

Published: January 2024

Abstract. Despite the application of an increasingly strict EU air quality legislation, air quality remains problematic in large parts of Europe. To support the abatement of these remaining problems, a better understanding of the potential impacts of emission abatement measures on air quality is required, and air chemistry transport models (CTMs) are the main instrument to perform emission reduction scenarios. In this study, we study the robustness of the model responses to emission reductions when emission input is changed. We investigate how inconsistencies in emissions impact the modelling responses in the case of emission reduction scenarios. Based on EMEP simulations over Europe fed by four emission inventories – EDGAR 5.0, EMEP-GNFR, CAMS 2.2.1 and CAMS version 4.2 (including condensables) – we reduce anthropogenic emissions in six cities (Brussels, Madrid, Rome, Bucharest, Berlin and Stockholm) and two regions (Po Valley in Italy and Malopolska in Poland) and study the variability in the concentration reductions obtained with these four emission inventories. Our study reveals that the impact of reducing aerosol precursors on PM10 concentrations result in different potentials and potencies, differences that are mainly explained by differences in emission quantities, differences in their spatial distributions as well as in their sector allocation. In general, the variability among models is larger for concentration changes (potentials) than for absolute concentrations. Similar total precursor emissions can, however, hide large variations in sectorial allocation that can lead to large impacts on potency given their different vertical distribution. Primary particulate matter (PPM) appears to be the precursor leading to the major differences in terms of potentials. From an emission inventory viewpoint, this work indicates that the most efficient actions to improve the robustness of the modelling responses to emission changes would be to better assess the sectorial share and total quantities of PPM emissions. From a modelling point of view, NOx responses are the more challenging and require caution because of their non-linearity. For O3, we find that the relationship between emission reduction and O3 concentration change shows the largest non-linearity for NOx (concentration increase) and a quasi-linear behaviour for volatile organic compounds (concentration decrease). We also emphasise the importance of accurate ratios of emitted precursors since these lead to changes in chemical regimes, directly affecting the responses of O3 or PM10 concentrations to emission reductions.

Itroduction: Although theoretically a simple procedure, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) can be followed by life-threatening complications. Early postoperative complications include staple line bleeding and leakage. Staple line reinforcement (SLR) has been used to decrease these complications. There are various methods for reinforcement of staple line such as suture over sewing, placing omental flap, using buttressing material, and spraying fibrin glue along the staple line. However, it is controversial whether SLR reduces the rate of staple line complications or not. Materials and Methods: A prospective randomized clinical trial included 200 super morbidly obese patients randomized into two groups: Group 1 with reinforcement of the staple line by SEAMGUARD® (Gore Medical, Newark, Delaware) and Group 2 with reinforcement of the staple line using suture over sewing. Results: The mean operative time was significantly shorter in Group 1 than Group 2 (62.6 ± 14.5 vs. 84.7 ±15.8 min, p=0.02). Intraoperative blood loss was significantly lower in Group 1 than Group 2 (17.1± 19.1 vs. 56.8 ± 27.9ml, p=0.00). Staple line hematomas were significantly higher in Group 2. There was no difference in postoperative bleeding between the two groups. No leak was reported in both groups. The cost was higher in Group 1. Conclusion: Reinforcing the staple line in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy using suturing is equal to SEAMGUARD® in all aspects except shorter operative time and lower intraoperative blood loss with SEAMGUARD®.

Introduction: Vascular insufficiency of the intestine is difficult to diagnose and it has high mortality rates. Our study aimed to identify risk factors for in-hospital mortality of patients emergently admitted with the primary diagnosis of vascular insufficiency of the intestine. Materials and Methods: Adult (18–64 years) and elderly (>64 years) patients emergently admitted with the primary diagnosis of vascular insufficiency of the small and large intestine were analyzed using the National Inpatient Sample database from 2005–2014. Using stratified analysis and backward multivariable logistic regression analysis, the relationship between mortality and several risk factors were evaluated. Results: There were 36,864 patients analyzed of which 4,994 died in hospital. Most patients were elderly, making up 23,052 of the total patients (63.4%). The mean (SD) age for adult males, adult females, elderly males, and elderly females were 50.51 (11.18), 52.12 (10.06), 77.00 (7.50), and 78.44 (7.88) years, respectively. When the data was stratified according to outcome, deceased adult patients accounted for 6.9% of all adult patients, while elderly deceased patients accounted for 17.5% of all elderly patients. Elderly patients had a 2.5 times increase in mortality compared to adult patients. When the data was stratified according to operation status, non-operation patients had 58.6% use of gastrointestinal invasive diagnostic procedures, as opposed to the operative patients with 30.3% use. In the final regression model, age (OR=1.03, 95%CI: 1.02–1.04), male sex (OR=1.12, 95%CI: 1.04–1.21), operation (OR=2.73, 95%CI: 2.50–2.97), bacterial infections (OR=3.12, 95%CI: 2.82–3.44), respiratory diseases, (OR=1.84, 95%CI: 1.71–1.99), cardiac diseases (OR=2.78, 95%CI: 2.09–2.48), liver diseases (OR=2.24, 95%CI: 1.99–2.53), genitourinary system diseases (OR=1.40, 95%CI: 1.30–1.51), fluid and electrolyte disorders (OR=1.48, 95%CI: 1.37–1.60), neurological diseases (OR=1.23, 95%CI: 1.13–1.33), and trauma, burns, and poisons (OR=1.57, 95%CI: 1.43–1.73) were the risk factors for mortality. Gastrointestinal invasive diagnostic procedures (OR=0.31, 95%CI: 0.28–0.34) and hospital length of stay (OR=0.91, 95%CI: 0.90–0.92) were protective factors for mortality in all patients. Conclusion: For elderly patients emergently admitted for intestinal vascular insufficiency, the odds of mortality were 2.5 times greater than in adult patients. Age, male sex, operation, and several comorbidities were risk factors for mortality; whereas, invasive diagnostic procedures and longer hospital stay were the protective factors against mortality.

Introduction: Endoscopic procedures are expanding and have been evolving in recent years, increasing their volume along with the development of new devices. This is due to the low morbidity and complication rate, the reversibility of the procedures, and the positive impact on patients. Among the endoscopic procedures gaining interest is sleeve gastroplasty. It emerged as a feasible and safe alternative to traditional bariatric surgery. There are no guidelines available on the indications and use of endoscopic gastroplasty. The aim of this study is to present preliminary results of a case series of endoscopic gastric plication procedures performed for different options: as a primary endoscopic sleeve, as revision for sleeve gastrectomy, and as revision for gastric bypass. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on a prospective database collecting data on all patients with obesity treated with endoscopic gastroplasty with the Overstitch™ (Apollo Endosurgery, Inc., Austin, Texas) device from 2022 to 2023 in the bariatric surgery unit. Results: Twenty-three patients were treated from May 2022 to July 2023 with endoscopic gastric plication. Ten patients (43%) were submitted to primary endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, three patients to revision of sleeve gastrectomy, one patient to revision of one anastomosis gastric bypass, and eight patients received a revision of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The body mass index (BMI) of patients submitted to primary ESG ranged from 33 to 42kg/m2, with a mean BMI of 37kg/m2. The age of the patients ranged from 22 to 70 years, with a mean age of 45. In one case, we registered a Clavien-Dindo 2 complication—an inflammatory perigastric reaction without a collection occurred 15 days after a primary ESG. Conclusion: Endoscopic gastric plication is emerging as a safe, mini-invasive, and effective procedure alternative to sleeve gastrectomy in patients with I or II class obesity or for those unfit for bariatric surgery. The endoscopic suturing device can be used both as a primary procedure or as a revisional option after failure of the primary surgery, thus proving to be a versatile option to provide to bariatric patients.

Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) is a complication of spinal surgery that results in severe and disabling back/leg pain. Epiduroscopy is a percutaneous minimally invasive surgical technique used in the treatment of lumbar radicular pain that enables both direct visualization of epidural adhesions in patients with FBSS and the mechanical release of fibrotic scars in the epidural space. Although the use of a balloon catheter during epiduroscopy can usually remove adhesions between the dura and the vertebrae, in the thickest areas of fibrosis, the use of a catheter with a molecular quantum resonance radiofrequency generator may resect hard epidural fibrotic obstructions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this radiofrequency catheter in the treatment of severe epidural fibrotic scars. Ninety-three patients with FBSS were enrolled in this study. In 49 cases, a thick area of fibrosis was visualized during epiduroscopy and the use of a balloon catheter could not remove the fibrotic scars. In all of these cases, we used a molecular quantum resonance radiofrequency catheter to remove dense fibrotic areas. Intraoperatively during epiduroscopy, we could directly visualize lysis of the fibrotic scars. Immediately after the procedure and at 1-month and 6-month follow-up, the patients reported significant pain reduction. Pain reduction and patient satisfaction were also reported at 12 months in all but 5 cases. This study found a clinically relevant reduction of pain at 1 and 6 months after epiduroscopy in patients with FBSS. The use of a radiofrequency catheter is safe and effective in resection of hard and thick epidural scars.

Osteoporosis is the most common disease of bone mineral metabolism. In Spain, it affects approximately 3 million people, of whom 80% are females and 20% are males. Despite the advances that have been made in this field, we continue to witness alarming levels of fragility hip fractures. In 2010, the cost of osteoporosis in the European Union was estimated to be 37,000 million euros, which included the costs for the treatment of incident fractures (66%), pharmacological prevention (5%), and long-term fracture care (29%). A multidisciplinary care pathway supported by a surgical approach to local bone formation is needed. Recently, the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) and the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis (ESCEO) included in their treatment guidelines a local osteo-enhancement procedure (LOEP) as a treatment option. In the Ossure™ LOEP technique (AgNovos Healthcare USA, LLC, Rockville, MD), a calcium-based triphasic osteoconductive implant material (AGN1), which has been shown to increase bone mineral density (BMD) and proximal femoral strength, is introduced percutaneously in the femoral neck and intertrochanteric region. Basically, the procedure consists of three percutaneous steps: prepare, clean, and fill the cavity with AGN1. It can be carried out with sedation and local anaesthesia or spinal anaesthesia. This report presents a clinical case and discusses how to select patients who could potentially benefit from this technique.

The use of robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty and three-dimensional computed tomography scan-based templating has become increasingly popular over the last 10 years. However, proper planning and execution are vital to producing optimal patient outcomes. In order to achieve these outcomes, the robotic-assisted system requires training, familiarity, and experience. The goal of this article is to provide clear and condensed examples of preoperative planning, as well as adjustments that one can make to avoid impingement. The surgical technique for robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty is also briefly discussed. Examples will be given using the latest computed tomography (CT) scan-based robotic platform for osteoarthritic hips, with specific examples of various cases of impingement that might be encountered by the surgeon and how to ultimately avoid this problem when performing the arthroplasty. This article, through case histories, will discuss the various principles and adjustments that can be made to place components in the ideal location based on individual anatomy.

Introduction: Postoperative range of motion (ROM) is an important measure for the functional outcome and overall success after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). While robotic knee systems have been shown to reduce pain and improve early function, the return of postoperative ROM specifically has not been adequately studied. The purpose of this study was to compare postoperative ROM in robotic and conventional TKA. We hypothesized that robotic TKA leads to an improvement in postoperative ROM. Materials and Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 674 primary TKAs by a single surgeon between January 2018 and February 2023 was completed. Patients that did not have both a two-week follow up and eight-week follow up were excluded. Revision/conversion TKAs were excluded. The population was divided into two cohorts based on technique utilized: robotic versus conventional. Preoperative extension/flexion data, postoperative extension/flexion data at two-week and eight-week follow ups, and manipulation under anesthesia data were collected. ROM was defined as flexion minus extension. Chi-square tests were used to examine for differences between categorical variables and t-tests for continuous variables. Results: A total of 307 robotic and 265 conventional knees were included. There were no differences in demographics, mean follow up, or preoperative ROM between groups. The robotic group had significantly more flexion (99.20° vs. 96.98°; p=0.034) and ROM (97.81° vs. 95.56°; p=0.047) at the two-week follow up. The loss in ROM at the two-week follow up from preoperative ROM was significantly less for the robotic group (-11.21° vs. -14.16°; p=0.031). There were no significant differences in extension at either follow up, in flexion at the eight-week follow up, or in ROM at the eight-week follow up. Conclusion: Robotic TKA leads to an improvement in postoperative flexion and ROM when compared to preoperative ROM at two-week follow up. These findings could partially explain the quicker recovery associated with robotic TKA.
Differences in Levels of Social Anxiety in Adolescent Girls in Makassar City Seen from Locus of Control

Published: January 2024

One of the developmental tasks that adolescents must go through is social adjustment in adolescents. Difficulties in the social adjustment process due to the standards that apply in the environment make teenagers afraid of being evaluated negatively and even experiencing social anxiety. One factor of anxiety is the role of the control center or locus of control. Locus of control is divided into internal and external. The aim of this research is to see whether there are differences in the level of social anxiety in adolescent girls in terms of locus of control. The criteria for subjects in this research are female teenagers aged 12-18 years who live in Makassar City. The subjects in this research were 400 female teenagers who live in Makassar City. The method used in this research is quantitative. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U Test. The results showed that there were differences in the level of social anxiety among female adolescents in the city of Makassar in terms of Locus of Control with a significance value of 0.000 (p<0.05). This research illustrates that adolescents with an external locus of control orientation tend to have high social anxiety. It is hoped that the results of this research will be able to pay attention to what things adolescent girls can control when facing social situations or in the social environment. Teenagers are expected to have understanding and confidence and also be able to see things that are beyond their personal abilities, which are things that can have an impact on themselves.

Motivation to learn is one aspect of supporting young women in pursuing education. However, there are teenage girls whose motivation to learn is influenced by the sexual violence they experience. The aim of the research is to determine the description of sexual violence, learning motivation and learning motivation factors among survivors of sexual violence in Makassar. This research is a qualitative phenomenological research. The research subjects were 3 female teenagers aged 20 – 22 years who were students in Makassar. Data was collected through an interview process which resulted in interview transcripts and voice recording documentation. The data that has been coded is then analyzed for the suitability of interpretation between the subject and the researcher. This research found that adolescent girls experience sexual violence in the family, school, campus and public places which has an impact on their physical, psychological, spiritual, learning processes and outcomes. However, teenagers continue to learn and overcome learning obstacles in order to fulfill their dreams and hopes. Factors that shape teenagers' learning motivation include internal factors and external factors. Internal factors are needs and aspirations, while external factors are social support from family and peers. It is hoped that this research will provide an understanding regarding learning motivation and the factors that shape learning motivation in female adolescent survivors of sexual violence. The conclusion of this research is that even though sexual violence has an impact on the physical and psychological impact of adolescent girls, adolescents still have good motivation to study because of the internal and external factors that support adolescents.

Published: January 2024

Bullying is one of the problems among freshmen who often lack direct, honest, and assertive self-expression to defend personal rights in expressing feelings, also called assertive behavior. This study aims to look at the relationship between assertive behavior and the tendency to be the object of bullying in freshmen. This study uses a quantitative approach with descriptive analysis methods, hypothesis testing (spearman's rho), and t-test (mann-whitney). The subjects of this study were 320 new students of the Faculty of Engineering, Makassar State University. The results showed that there is a relationship between assertive behavior and the tendency to be the object of bullying in new students (p = 0.000, r = 0.312). This means that the higher the assertive behavior, the lower the tendency to be the object of bullying in new students and vice versa. The results of additional analysis show that there are no differences in assertive behavior, however, there are differences in the tendency to be the object of bullying based on gender. It can be concluded that there is a relationship between assertive behavior and the tendency to be the object of bullying in freshmen with a moderate correlation.

Published: January 2024

Religiosity is critical in improving a person's self-control ability and preventing a person from committing a crime. However, studies of the dimensions of religiosity that can play a role in private religious practice are still limited. This study  aims to find the relationship between the dimensions of intellectual and ideology with private practice in religiosity. This study involved three hundred samples of prisoners with measurements of intellectual dimensions, ideology, and private practices using the Centrality of Religiosity Scale (CRS). The correlation test concluded that intellectual and ideology are significantly associated with private practice. The intellectual dimension shows a more potent effect size on private practice than the ideology dimension. This study recommends the need for intellectual and ideological religious guidance programs for inmates in correctional institutions as an effort to increase self-control and prevent the residivisme

Prisoners are people who are serving a sentence or criminal period in a correctional institution, but the human rights of prisoners must also be protected. However, prisoners are also part of those who have rights as human beings, including the right to live life, the right to receive welfare, and also have the right to obtain health services. The rights of prisoners are even regulated in law number 22 of 2022 concerning correctional facilities. In addition to physical health, there is mental health that is vulnerable to threats to prisoners. The importance of mental health in relation to the law relates to several issues, including the difficulty of individuals to provide accurate testimony, the consideration of mental capacity in the judicial process, as well as the protection of the rights of mentally ill individuals. This research explores the intersection between mental health, law, and rehabilitation in the context of prisoners. The main focus is to evaluate the challenges that arise in fulfilling prisoners' mental health service rights through the existing legal and rehabilitation systems. Through an interdisciplinary approach, this research seeks an in-depth understanding of how legal factors and the detention environment can affect the mental health of inmates. This approach includes prevention, diagnosis and intervention measures covering medical, psychological, social and legal aspects. The research seeks to provide a basis for policy change that supports the rights of individuals with mental illness, promotes fairness in the justice system, and reduces stigmatisation associated with mental health in legal contexts.

At the Tanjung Gusta Medan Class I Prison, North Sumatra, waste sorting has begun, but it has not run optimally. This is evidenced by the provision of trash bins for sorting, but they are still minimal because they have only touched a few places. . According to our observations during the Real Work Lecture at the Tanjung Gusta Class I Correctional Institution, it is necessary to improve cleanliness by disposing of garbage in the places provided according to its type and this must be accompanied by socialization not only for inmates but also for visitors who came to Tanjung Gusta Class I Prison every day so that the waste would not only become waste but could be reused and useful for daily life. In carrying out this community service activity, our target is to train new experiences in processing waste to become an ecoenzyme liquid that can be used for daily needs. The method used in this study is qualitative with the PAR (Participatory Action Research) method, namely problem- based service found and then providing alternative ecobricks. The results of this study indicate that waste is a serious problem and becomes even more serious when the waste is jumbled up. The form of community service related to the importance of waste segregation. In this case, our target is prison inmates (WBP). We hope that by providing socialization to the inmates regarding the processing of kitchen waste into ecoenzyme liquids, a new skill will emerge for the inmates, especially the inmates at the Tanjung Gusta Class I Penitentiary.

Geralmente resulta de cirurgias ortognáticas, extrações de terceiros molares, exérese de tumores e traumas, afetando a qualidade de vida. Dessa forma, a terapia de fotobiomodulação (TFBM) surge como opção para o tratamento essa condição. Esta revisão objetiva explorar a eficácia da TFBM como tratamento de parestesia do NAV. Para isso, uma pesquisa foi realizada nas bases de dados PubMed, LILACS e Scopus utilizando os descritores Laser Therapy, Paresthesia e Inferior Alveolar Nerve e o operador booleano AND, no período dos últimos 10 anos. Após a eliminação de duplicatas, foram obtidos 22 resultados. Foram incluídos ensaios clínicos, relatos de casos e estudos observacionais queabordassem o tema e excluídos estudos com outros objetos de estudo e não-realizados em humanos e tipos de artigo inadequados. Após a leitura de títulos e resumos, 10 artigos foram selecionados. Os estudos concluem que a TFBM foi eficaz em acelerar o reparo das fibras nervosas e diminuir a deficiência neurossensorial na Escala Visual Analógica, com resultadossignificativos em 72h após a primeira aplicação, sendo necessárias cerca de 20 sessões para a recuperação completa. Porém, efeitos colaterais como queimação e variação de temperatura sem estímulos foram relatados. Portanto, a TFBM se apresenta como uma terapia eficaz e não-invasiva no tratamento de parestesia,sendo necessários mais estudos para consolidar suaeficácia.
