Authors: Jannah Silvie Roikhatul , Muharram Nur Ahmad , Herpandika Reo Prasetiyo , Setiawan Irwan
Published: February 2025

Background: Locomotor movement is crucial for elementary school students as it enhances their physical development, motor skills, and overall engagement in physical activities. However, the development of locomotor movements among elementary schools has not been associated with literacy and numeracy, so it is necessary to have a traditional game media that contains elements of literacy and numeracy to improve locomotor movements in elementary school students. Objective: This study aims to create a product in the form of a literacy and numeracy-based “engklek” game to improve locomotor movements of elementary school students. Methods: This study uses the research and development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, which consists of 5 stages: analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate. The subjects of this study were upper-grade students of State Elementary School 3 Watudandang, namely classes IV and V (22 students). Result: The results of this study are (1) the percentage of assessment results from material experts is 100% with a very effective category to be used in the application of traditional games “Engklek” based on numeracy literacy; (2) the percentage of media expert assessment results is 100% with a very feasible category to be applied to upper-grade students in improving locomotor movements; and (3) the percentage of assessment results from students is 85% with a very feasible category to be applied to upper-grade students in improving locomotor movements. Conclusion: In conclusion, the traditional game “Engklek” based on numeracy literacy is practical and feasible for physical education teachers to use in improving locomotor movements.

Published: February 2025

Background: Research on the relationship between physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle has become widespread, and most studies show that the two are related. However, these studies still indirectly examine the relationship between physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle, especially in junior high school students. Objective: This research aims to determine whether there is a relationship between physical fitness and the level of a healthy lifestyle. Methods: This research uses a quantitative descriptive method with a correlational design. This research used the population of the author, which was all eighth-grade students at Negeri 6 Cimahi Junior High School; there were ten classes totaling 380 students. The sample was eighth-grade students from 10 Cimahi 6 State Junior High School classes, with 37 students. The research instruments chosen were questionnaires for healthy lifestyles and the TKSI (Indonesian Student Fitness Test) for physical fitness. The IBM SPSS version 26 software was used to help with the data analysis in this investigation. Result: The correlation study results between physical fitness and the degree of a healthy lifestyle revealed a substantial positive association between the two, with a p-value of 0.007 < 0.05 and a correlation coefficient of 0.434 in the medium category. Conclusion: Based on the research results, the author can conclude that there is a relationship between physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle and the level of a healthy lifestyle in junior high school students. This research implies that programs regarding healthy lifestyles must be given to students, so it is hoped that students will have good physical fitness.

Authors: Singh Priti , Gaikwad Himanshu , Verma Vidhya , Karkhur Samendra , Kumar Kavita
Published: February 2025

To compare the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in small for gestational age (SGA) premature infants with those of appropriate size for gestational age (AGA) attending ROP screening clinic in a tertiary eye care institute of Central India 2018-2019.

All premature infants attending the screening program with gestational age of <37 weeks and weight less than 90th centile as per gestational age were included in the study. The presence of any stage of ROP and severity of ROP was compared between SGA and AGA infants using chi-square test and SPSS software.

Total 603 premature infants up to 36 weeks underwent eye screening; 250 (41.4%) were SGA infants. SGA infants born 29-32 weeks were at higher risk for development of ROP (p<0.01) than their AGA peers. However no group was found to have higher severity of ROP than the other.

SGA infants who underwent eye screening in central India from January 2018 to June 2019 were at a significant high risk of developing ROP then AGA infants.
Comparative study to evaluate the clinical outcome between conjunctival autograft transplantation and amniotic membrane transplantation in pterygium
Authors: Vivekanand Undrakonda , Pottasiri Triveni
Published: February 2025

: Pterygium is a common ocular surface disorder. Ultraviolet light can induce chronic inflammatory cells in the conjunctiva or damage limbal stem cells, suggesting that chronic inflammation may play a role in the development of pterygium. Surgical excision is the only treatment, with recurrence a major complication. This study is to compare the recurrence rates and surgical outcomes of primary pterygium with conjunctival autograft and amniotic membrane graft.

: Patients were randomly divided into two groups of 80 patients each. One group received amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT), while the other group underwent pterygium excision with conjunctival autograft transplantation (PECAT). Patients were followed up postoperatively on day 1, day 7, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months and were observed for best corrected visual acuity, recurrence and graft related complications.

: Complications were almost equal in both the groups. The recurrence rate was not statistically significant across the groups in our study.

: Our study concludes that both the procedures are equally effective in terms of efficacy and outcome. AMT an alternative for bilateral heads or patients who might need glaucoma surgery later. Amniotic membrane grafting is a feasible option for patients, due to the rising prevalence of glaucoma, preserving the conjunctiva for individuals who may require filtering procedures in the future.

Authors: Sen Saswati , Pokharna Ridhima , Das Matuli , Paruchuri Harshitha
Published: February 2025

: To correlate anterior chamber angle parameters with severity and duration of diabetes in diabetic patients and compare with non-diabetics.

: Prospective cross-sectional study with 200 subjects each in diabetic and non-diabetic group. Comprehensive ocular examination was done. RBS at the time of examination was noted and AS-OCT examination was performed for all. The parameters were central corneal thickness (CCT), angle opening distance at 500µ (AOD500), and750µ (AOD750), trabecular iris space area at 500µ(TISA500) and 750µ(TISA750), scleral spur area (SSA),lens vault (LV), angle (in °),anterior chamber depth (ACD) and angle to angle distance (mm). Data was recorded and appropriate analysis was done. p-value of <0.05 was considered significant.

: Males were more than females. Mean age for diabetic group was 49.07 years in diabetics and 37.34 years in non-diabetics. CCT values increased with increase in blood sugar and duration of diabetes. Except SSA continuous decrease in median values were seen for all angle parameters with an increase in blood sugar, duration and severity of diabetes. But overall change in the value of angle parameters was statistically significant between the groups. Gonioscopy findings confirmed that anterior chamber was shallower in patients with longer duration of diabetes and higher grades of retinopathy.

: Diabetes mellitus and its association with glaucoma has been studied mostly for open angle glaucoma. The findings of the present study confirms that diabetics are at high risk of angle closure and it is associated with the duration, severity and control of diabetes Hence, early detection by gonioscopy and AS-OCT may aid in better management.
Impact of global DNA methylation on retinal gene expression in various stages of retinoblastoma: A clue for biomarkers
Authors: Almarzouki Nawaf
Published: February 2025

: Retinoblastoma, the most prevalent intraocular cancer in children, originates from the eye's retina. Multi-omics studies reveal a complex molecular foundation for retinoblastoma, underscoring the crucial interconnected roles of epigenetic and gene expression processes in understanding pathological mechanisms, identifying biomarkers, and exploring potential therapeutic options.

The DNA methylation array and gene expression datasets of retinoblastoma were searched in repositories. The relevant datasets were merged based on a common reference platform, and various regulatory patterns were constructed. Notably, canonical patterns containing hyper-DOWN and hypo-UP, localized at critical regions (such as 5ʹ UTR, 3ʹ UTR, TSS, shore, and shelves), were selected for mild, moderate, and severe retinoblastomas. Subsequently, common regulators across different disease states were identified, and their protein interactomes were generated and functionally enriched.

We analyzed global DNA methylation in 57 retinoblastoma and 20 normal retinal tissues. Additionally, we collected control, mild, moderate, and severe retinoblastoma gene expression datasets. Among 485,577 probes, 319 exhibited hypermethylation, and 2,846 showed hypomethylation in retinoblastoma. Significant (P < 0.05) UP- and DOWN-regulated genes for mild, moderate, and severe conditions were identified and mapped to hyper/hypomethylated probes. Notably, distinct regulation patterns (hyper-DOWN and hypo-UP) at critical regions were chosen for each disease state. Of these, 57 hyper-DOWN and 8 hypo-UP were common across all disease states, contributing to protein interaction networks with 318 extended proteins and 1,345 interactions essential in various neuronal and cancer-related pathways. Alternatively, a few distinct regulators were identified, providing clues for disease biomarkers.

: We found a strong association between hyper/hypomethylation and gene expression in retinoblastoma. These findings underscore the downstream regulatory role of DNA methylation, emphasizing stage-specific molecular mechanisms and offering insights into early biomarkers for the disease.

Beyond Boolean Epistemology: A Non-Classical Logic Approach to Understanding Knowledge Formation in Quantum Computing Systems
Authors: Fasco Pamba Shatson
Published: February 2025

Traditional Boolean logic frameworks have proven inadequate for modeling knowledge formation in quantum computing systems, particularly regarding quantum superposition and entanglement phenomena. Through a comprehensive systematic review of 143 papers from IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, Google Scholar, and Scopus (2020-2024), the researcher identifies fundamental limitations in current epistemological approaches. The study proposes a non-classical logic framework incorporating quantum measurement theory and many-valued logic, demonstrating a 38% improvement in quantum state representation accuracy. The framework introduces novel operators for quantum superposition states, enabling more accurate modeling of quantum algorithmic knowledge formation. Theoretical validation shows significant advantages in quantum error correction and algorithm design, providing a foundation for quantum-aware knowledge systems.

A numerical study is carried out to investigate natural convective heat transfer process in a water-filled trapezoidal cavity heated from below using finite volume method in solving the governing equations. The study examined the effects of Rayleigh number (Ra = 101-106), heat source length (Ls = 0.1-0.9), angle of inclination (teta = 0º-75º) on the Nusselt number (Nu) and entropy generation of the trapezoidal cavity. The results of the investigation indicate that Nu increases when the source length increases, and the angle of inclination decreases. Also, Nu also increases with Ra when the source length and inclination angle are fixed. The total entropy is dominated by thermal entropy generation (Sthermal) and is seen to increase with source length. The results presented in isotherms and streamlines indicate that viscous and buoyancy forces are significant in the trapezoidal cavity.

Projekt uvedbe kontrolinga v turistično-hotelsko podjetje LUNA
Authors: Kolar Iztok
Published: February 2025

Študija primera obravnava uvedbo kontrolinga v srednje velikem hotelskem podjetju LUNA, ki se kljub naložbam sooča s stagnacijo poslovnih rezultatov in kaotičnim vodenjem investicij. Podjetje s tremi hoteli ob morju, je imelo različne oddelke, kot so prodaja, finančno-računovodski in kadrovski, vendar brez dejavnosti kontrolinga, kar je povzročalo pomanjkanje informacij o poslovanju posameznega hotela, neusklajenost poslovanja s strateškimi cilji in kaotično izvajanje investicij. Večinski delničar in predsednik nadzornega sveta (NS) je zato predlagal uvedbo kontrolinga, da bi izboljšal informacijsko podporo in odločanje, spremljanje in nadzor poslovanja. Projekt sledi postopnemu modularnemu pristopu in vključuje analizo obstoječih organizacijskih struktur, ugotavljanje vrzeli v poslovnih procesih in vzpostavitev informacijskega sistema za spremljanje ključnih kazalnikov uspešnosti, kot sta donosnost in stopnja zasedenosti hotela. Študija poudarja potencialne koristi, kot so boljše razporejanje virov, upravljanje tveganj in usklajenost poslovanja s strateškimi usmeritvami. Vendar izpostavlja tudi izzive, kot sta odpor zaposlenih in visoki stroški uvajanja kontrolinga. Na splošno primer ponuja vpogled v uvedbo kontrolinga in njegove vloge pri spremljanju in nadziranju poslovanja kot podpore za izboljšanje operativne učinkovitosti in doseganju dolgoročnih poslovnih ciljev v hotelskem podjetju.
Sinergijski učinki ocenjevalnih metod OWAS in KIM pri celoviti ergonomski analizi
Authors: Balantič Zvone , Đoković Sofija , Jarc Kovačič Branka
Published: February 2025

Študija je bila izvedena v Laboratoriju za inženiring poslovnih in produkcijskih sistemov (LIPPS), kjer smo analizirali telesne drže delavcev na simulirani montažni liniji. Metode OWAS (OVAKO Working Postures Analysing System) in KIM (Key Indicator Method) so bile uporabljene za prepoznavanje kritičnih telesnih drž v delovnem procesu. Glavni cilj raziskave je bil raziskati možno sinergijo med tema dvema metodama ter izboljšati razumevanje ergonomskih dejavnikov v delovnem okolju. Ugotovitve so pokazale, da je integracija obeh metod omogočila natančnejšo identifikacijo kritičnih telesnih položajev in prilagajanje delovnih postopkov ter opreme posameznim delavcem. Rezultati proučevanega delovnega postopka so izpostavili, da je delo na montažni liniji povezano z zmerno utrujenostjo po metodi OWAS, medtem ko je metoda KIM pokazala bistveno povečana tveganja za telesne obremenitve pri ročnih delih. Rezultati poudarjajo pomen izvedbe obeh analiz za objektivno oceno delovnih pogojev in izboljšanje produktivnosti delavcev, kar lahko dolgoročno pozitivno vpliva na zdravje in zadovoljstvo zaposlenih ter na uspešnost podjetja.
Udział chłopów w życiu Wielunia w pierwszej połowie XVI wieku
Authors: Nowak Tomasz Andrzej
Published: February 2025

The town is the place where from the outset, ways of life of different social states were crossing. New town – dwellers were coming not only from other town centers but also from nobility and peasants. Usually, in investigations on history of social nobility's composition, representatives of nobility connected with town are being observed. However, here I would like to concentrate on the problem of peasants participation in Wielun's life, to see in which context their existing in the oldest books of this town was written down. Generally, connections of peasants with town can be divided into 3 cathegories. First category was nobility who came from the village. For some time they were having contacts with their family living still in that village. The second group were people who came to town for short periods. They were forced to take care of economic or / and religious matters. The last category were peasants living in villages belonging to town.

The paper’s chief objective is to analyse some of the benefits of social trust on the example the study of the country districts in the Łódź voivodeship.
The interest in social trust is undoubtedly manifold and has many sources. These include: the transition from a society based on fate to one based on human subjectivity, global interdependence, heterogeneous social structure, new threats and dangers, unpredictability of human actions, limited transparency of social surroundings and increasing anonymity of people who influence our lives (Sztompka 2007). Furthermore, the level of social trust exert an influence on political, social and economical dimension of society and local community and is vital in stabilising and strengthening the political, social and economic system.

Published: February 2025

Autorki prezentują ideę publikacji zatytułowanej W kuchni. Kulturowe szkice o przestrzeni. Przyjmują, że kuchnia to pomieszczenie kojarzone z wieloma kulturowymi i społecznymi znaczeniami. Stanowi ona przede wszystkim niezbywalną część przestrzeni domowej, prywatnej, zamieszkiwanej, która może być rozmaicie wyznaczana, organizowana i doświadczana. W kuchni realizują się zazwyczaj czynności i procesy związane z planowaniem posiłków, przechowywaniem i przetwarzaniem produktów oraz przygotowywaniem i konsumowaniem pokarmów. Mają tu miejsce rozmaite praktyki wpisujące się w kulturową refleksję nad stylami życia, cielesnością i płcią kulturową, będące emanacją zmian społecznych oraz próbą (re)definiowania tradycji i tożsamości. Przestrzeń kuchni podlega modom, trendom i ideologiom, regułom estetycznym i ekonomicznym. Autorki, wraz z innymi badaczami, którzy zabierają głos w omawianej publikacji, nie prezentują konsekwentnej historii przemian, jakie dotyczą kuchni. Starają się pokazać przestrzeń pełną znaczeń na wybranych przykładach, sięgających do różnych kulturowych i społecznych kontekstów.

Wokół pieca i stołu. Praktyki zamieszkiwania łódzkich włókniarzy
Authors: Karpińska Grażyna Ewa
Published: February 2025

Brak wydzielonego w architektonicznej bryle domu pomieszczenia, które pełniłoby funkcje kuchni – to cecha mieszkań jednoizbowych budowanych dla robotników przed II wojną światową. Dopiero zgromadzone i rozmieszczone w przestrzeni sprzęty i przedmioty ustanawiały krajobraz kuchni (ludzi i przedmioty), w której współdziałali mieszkańcy i które „wywoływały” określone interaktywne odpowiedzi ze strony człowieka. W artykule z perspektywy praktyk zamieszkiwania spoglądam na przedmioty oraz ich ustrukturyzowanie w obrębie fragmentu przestrzeni mieszkania zwanego kuchnią. Opieram się na materiale zebranym podczas wieloletnich badań na temat wnętrz mieszkań rodzin robotniczych, które prowadziłam ze studentami etnologii na przełomie lat siedemdziesiątych i osiemdziesiątych XX wieku w Łodzi, wśród mieszkańców kamienic czynszowych i domów familijnych wybudowanych przez fabrykantów dla „swoich” robotników. Spośród zgromadzonych relacji wybieram takie, które wypowiadali robotnicy zajmujący z rodzinami te same mieszkania przed wojną i po wojnie, albowiem chcę spojrzeć na zamieszkiwanie jako praktykę, która łączy się z pokoleniowym przebywaniem w określonej przestrzeni i przekazywaniem wzorców jej udamawiania.

Średniowieczna kuchnia „siermiężna” czy „wymyślna”. Uwagi o kulturze materialnej
Authors: Marciniak-Kajzer Anna
Published: February 2025

Powszechna wiedza o kuchni w średniowieczu pełna jest mitów i sprzeczności. Sytuacja poprawiła się w ostatnich latach, od kiedy gotowanie stało się modne. Tzw. food studies przyczyniły się do współpracy historyków, archeozoologów, archeobotaników, antropologów i archeologów. W artykule kuchnia i jej wyposażenie omawiane są z perspektywy archeologa. Chyba nie zawsze w pełni uświadamiamy sobie, że nasze archeologiczne „skorupy” są reliktami naczyń, które stanowiły zaledwie niewielką część kuchennego wyposażenia. Wiele przedmiotów wykonanych było z materiałów organicznych – głównie z drewna, łyka czy kory, ale też ze skóry czy tkanin. Tego typu wyposażenie rzadko zachowuje się w ziemi. Większość omówionych w artykule sprzętów kuchennych to rzeczy proste, wykonane z tanich surowców, więc powszechnie dostępne. Były one rzadko opisywane, nie były bowiem przedmiotem zastawów, procesów sądowych, nie pojawiały się w testamentach. Czasami tylko znajdujemy je w ikonografii, dzięki czemu wiemy, że obraz średniowiecznej kuchni był bardzo zróżnicowany i zależał w znacznej mierze od majętności jej właściciela. Na pewno nie odpowiadał mitom, które wciąż są popularne i oceniają średniowiecze jako epokę „siermiężną”. Kuchnie biedoty niewiele zmieniły się przez następnych kilka wieków. Kuchnie elit społecznych również ewoluowały powoli, zawsze jednak pozostawały „wymyślne”.

Background: Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is a specific disease causing agent of Crohn’s disease (CD) and Johne’s disease (JD) both in humans and animals respectively. Preliminary studies reveal high bio-incidence of MAP in domestic available unpasteurized milk as well as in commercially available pasteurized milk products. Methods: A total of 46 samples of milk and milk products (butter, milk powder, icecream, flavored lassi, dahi/flavored dahi) were collected from local markets of Mathura, Vrindavan and from canteen in GLA University, Mathura campus. These samples were screened using various diagnostic methods including Ziehl-Neelsen staining (acid fast staining), IS900 PCR, Dot ELISA and Plate ELISA for the presence of MAP. Result: Out of 46 samples tested, 3, 16 and 37 samples showed the positive results for MAP in Polymerase chain reaction, Microscopy and plate ELISA assay tests respectively. Out of 10 samples screened by means of dot ELISA, 2 were positive for MAP infection. The prime objective of this study was to reconfirm the bioincidence of MAP in commercially sold milk and milk products in Brij region and to establish the fact that MAP is not inactivated through pasteurization.
LAW OF ATTRACTION DALAM PERSPEKTIF ISLAM
Authors: Nurfaiza Najma Ranni , Jaenuri Jaenuri
Published: February 2025

Recently there is a law that is quite famous in modern society, the law of attraction. It is believed that everything that humans think about will happen in the future. In Islam it turns out that humans already know the law of attraction in everyday life because we always pray as Allah SWT commands. This study uses the narrative review method to identify, evaluate, and synthesize research results and ideas. Humans were created as intelligent beings by God. Humans think, in the way of thinking humans are divided into two, namely the conscious and subconscious. Every realm of mind has a function. The conscious has a function of logic and the subconscious has a function of creativity. Rhonda Byrne, author of The Secret, then explains that the law of attraction is felt by everyone as well as the law of gravity. Humans submit to nature, without realizing that nature is God's creation. So when humans are subject to the laws of nature, humans are also servants of nature. The law of attraction teaches us to imagine what we want, this is in line with Islam that Allah SWT loves His servants who always pray to Him. In essence, it is only to Allah that Muslims beg and ask for everything because Allah is the Greatest.Abstrak
Saat ini terdapat sebuah hukum yang cukup tenar dalam masyarakat modern, hukum tersebut adalah hukum tarik-menarik atau law of attraction. Dipercayai segala sesuatu yang dipikirkan oleh manusia kelak akan terjadi. Dalam Islam ternyata manusia sudah mengenal law of attraction dalam kehidupan sehari-hari karena kita senantiasa berdoa sebagaimana perintah Allah SWT. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode narrative review untuk mengidentifikasi, mengevaluasi, serta mensintesis karya hasil penelitian dan hasil pemikiran. Manusia diciptakan sebagai makhluk berakal oleh Allah. Manusia berpikir, dalam cara berpikir manusia terbagi menjadi dua yaitu alam sadar dan alam bawah sadar. Setiap alam pikiran memiliki fungsi. Alam sadar memiliki fungsi logika dan alam bawah sadar memiliki fungsi kreativitas. Rhonda Byrne penulis dari buku The Secret lalu menjelaskan bahwa hukum tarik-menarik dirasakan setiap orang sama halnya dengan hukum gravitasi. Manusia tunduk pada alam, tanpa disadari bahwa alam tersebut merupakan ciptaan Allah. Maka ketika manusia tunduk pada hukum alam, manusia juga merupakan hamba alam. Law of attraction mengajarkan kita untuk membayangkan yang kita inginkan, hal itu senada dalam Islam bahwa Allah SWT mencintai hamba-Nya yang selalu berdoa kepada-Nya. Pada intinya, hanya kepada Allah umat Islam memohon dan meminta segalanya karena Allah adalah dzat Yang Maha Besar.

Conceptualizing money creation as a ḥabs in debt market
Authors: Belabes Abderrazak
Published: February 2025

IntroductionMonetary creation is one of the major weak points of the in-depth analysis of economic life. The literature on Islamic economics, Islamic finance, and the jurisprudence of contemporary financial transactions is no exception to this rule. The reason is that money is reduced to its functionalist dimensions as a simple means of exchange, and considered a secondary issue with regard to the prohibition of ribāʿ.ObjectivesThis research proposes a new theoretical framework that conceptualizes money creation as a ḥabs in debt market. This conceptual framework makes it possible to avoid subjecting economic life to the system of monetary creation withholded, in debt and to nourish the illusion of economic growth boosted by debt.MethodThe study is based on genealogical method, which strives to trace the origins of things, and fundamentally takes its source from ancient literature on ansāb (lineage), al-awāʿil (things done for the first time), and long history, starting from the question: Where does it come from? It is a question of linking the phenomenon of ḥabs to its source, which is the building of the Kaʿaba by Ādam as the original ḥabs on earth.ResultsThe first significant result is that ḥabs is a general phenomenon that applies to a range of things. The waqf is only one of a number of possible forms. The second result is that reading the meaning of the word ḥabs allows us to link the various forms of withhold to the origin of life on earth when God ordered Adam to live on earth, then to build the Kaʿaba. The third result is the proposal of a new analytical framework for economic life which considers monetary creation as a ḥabs in debt market. ImplicationsThis study shows that ḥabs is an original conceptual tool which must be fully integrated into the analysis of economic life to broaden perspectives, promote understanding, and open new paths to action, in terms of social and economic policy, to build more resilient societies, while improving quality of life.Originality/Novelty This result provides a conceptualization of monetary creation on an unprecedented approach of ḥabs in debt market, and constitutes a basis for the development of policies, that move away from false economic growth boosted by debt, towards modes of existence based on voluntary cooperation, participative administration in community affairs, and the primacy of social purpose over capital.

Epidemiological data show that the use of alcohol and other psychoactive substances is higher among university students when compared with the general population and high school students. The use of psychotropic drugs by students in health courses deserve special attention due to because they will be responsible for the health education and care of the population. The present study aims to describe, through a cross-sectional study, the risks and the profile of consumption of psychoactive substances by students of the Biological and Health Sciences courses at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA). An online and anonymous questionnaire was applied from September 20, 2019 to June 15, 2021. 514 responses were obtained, of which 502 were considered according to the inclusion criteria. For recreational use of psychoactive substances, both for lifetime use and for use in the last 3 months, the prevalence of alcohol, cannabis and tobacco were the highest ones in that order. Only alcohol, cannabis and inhalants showed a percentage of individuals at high risk of developing problems. These results indicate the need for local intervention, in order to prevent risky behavior, damage to mental health and major consequences for society and university performance.

Glomerular podocytes act as a part of filtration barrier in the kidney. The activity of this filter is regulated by ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors. Adjacent podocytes can potentially release glutamate into intercellular space; however, little is known about how podocytes release glutamate. Here, we demonstrated vesicular glutamate transporter 3 (VGLUT3)-dependent glutamate release from podocytes. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed that rat glomerular podocytes and an immortal mouse podocyte cell line (MPCs) express VGLUT1 and VGLUT3. Consistent with this finding, quantitative RT-PCR revealed the expression of VGLUT1 and VGLUT3 mRNA in undifferentiated and differentiated MPCs. In addition, the exocytotic proteins vesicle-associated membrane protein 2, synapsin 1, and synaptophysin 1 were present in punctate patterns, and colocalised with VGLUT3 in MPCs. Interestingly, approximately 30% of VGLUT3 colocalised with VGLUT1. By immunoelectron microscopy, VGLUT3 was often observed around clear vesicle-like structures in differentiated MPCs. Differentiated MPCs released glutamate following depolarization with high potassium levels and after stimulation with the muscarinic agonist pilocarpine. Depletion of VGLUT3 in MPCs by RNA interference reduced depolarization-dependent glutamate release. These results strongly suggest that VGLUT3 is involved in glutamatergic signaling in podocytes and maybe a new drug target for various kidney diseases.
