A Study on the Feng-shui thought and the Concept of 'Qi(氣)' : Focus on Feng Shui Thought
Authors:   The Academy of Real Korean History, Lee Hanjong , Han Dongsoo
Published: November 2024

Qi(氣) is the force of nature. This energy is similar to the way the earth is pulled by the sun and the way the tides are affected by the moon. The existence of Cosmic Chi helps explain why the weather affects personal moods and feelings. Cosmic Chi is considered the source of abundant wealth, fortune, peace, honor and good health. Businesses with plentiful chi will prosper and continue to grow.
Definition: In feng shui, as in Chinese medicine, Chi is the term for the universal energy, or the energy that permeates everything around us. This feng shui term applies to the energy inside your body, as well to the energy inside and outside of buildings.
The nature and life are governed by one common element of yinyang even though the twos are seen as two totally different entities. Thus it is argued that the law of yinyang affects fortune or misfortune(吉凶禍福) and rise or fall(興亡盛衰) in one’s life. If we have awareness of the yinyang principle, we would be able to understand those events that happen every time between human beings. Furthermore the yinyang principle gives us some hints to predict how the ups and downs are going to be drawn in one’s life.
Qi(氣) is the energy that comes out from breathing, that is, the energy that lives and operates, that is, Jeonggi(精氣), Wongi((元氣), Saenggi(生氣), and Gilyeg(氣力). All of these words contain the word “Qi,” which is one of the basic concepts of Eastern philosophy, is involved in the development, development, and extinction of humans, the sky, the earth, and all other things. It is the basic element that constitutes all things in the universe and can be said to be the source and essence of all matter. Although invisible, it is the energy inherent in all beings and phenomena and is a central concept that flows through our body and the universe.
Additionally, the concept of qi occupies a crucial position in Eastern philosophy and medicine and is viewed as an essential concept for understanding nature, humans, and the universe, rather than simply meaning energy or vitality. For this reason, Chinese philosophers and Joseon scholars have constantly attempted to organize the concept of qi. Of course, even in modern times, research on qi is being conducted from various angles.

Oleander (Nerium oleander L.) is a popular ornamental plant in Hungary and is known to be the host of many pathogens, only some of which have been studied so far. Although oleander is threatened by many fungal pathogens, only a few cause significant problems, such as Ascochyta oleander (Sacc et Speg) or Verticillium dahliae (Kleb). In 2019 and 2022, small leaf spots and brownish necrotic
spots were observed on oleander leaves and branches in some plant nurseries in Hungary. Usually, these symptoms are associated with a fungal disease, but he pathogen causing this disease has not been investigated in Hungary, so the aim of the study was to identify the pathogen. Pathogen from the infected plant parts was isolated onto potato dextrose agar. The colonies were grey with aerial
mycelium and produced black-colored sclerotia aer four weeks. The conidia were
unicellular, hyaline to slightly brown, and elliptical, with an average size of 6.18 ×
5.9 μm. Following Koch’s postulates, all isolates were pathogenic. Based on the
morphological characteristics of the pathogen, all six isolates were identified as
Botrytis cinerea (Pres), which was confirmed by the nucleotide sequence analysis
of PCR products by amplifying the 18S-28S rRNA region. Although symptoms
caused by the pathogen on oleander flowers have been widely reported, this is
the first classical and molecular identification study of Botrytis cinerea causing
symptoms on the stem of oleander in Hungary.

Spring areas are specific habitats characterized by higher humidity, which favors
the presence of a range of living organisms. We have studied three types of
mountain forest springs (Piceo-Alnetum, Carici remotae-Fraxinetum, and Equiseto
sylvatici-Piceetum abietis communities) of the Stołowe Mountains National Park
(Poland), focusing on the species diversity of lichens and bryophytes. In terms
of the diversity of cryptogam species, mountain forest springs exhibit a large
pool of shared species. This similarity is most notable between the Piceo-Alnetum
and Carici remotae-Fraxinetum associations. The highest number of species was
found in Piceo-Alnetum. The results indicate that species richness of lichens and
bryophytes was significantly higher in ash and alder springs. This high species
richness was associated with the presence of Alnus species, Acer pseudoplatanus,
and Fraxinus excelsior trees. Springs in mountainous areas serve as important
hotspots for cryptogam species diversity, particularly for valuable species such as
those that are protected, endangered, or relics of ancient forests. In the spring areas
studied, only one invasive bryophyte species was found.

Published: November 2024

A presente pesquisa objetiva-se em avaliar com base na análise geoestatística o número ideal de subamostras para compor uma composta que melhor se apresente para determinar as zonas específicas de manejo e ratificar a existência de um atributo (solo e/ou planta) que pudesse espacialmente funcionar como indicador de qualidade, isto é, caracterizar as zonas específicas de manejo, quando o objetivo fosse o de aumentar a referida produtividade. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida em 2015, na Faculdade de Engenharia de Ilha Solteira - UNESP (SP), em Selvíria (MS, Brasil), onde foram realizadas coletas de dados de solo numa malha geostatística com 120 pontos e analisadas as correlações lineares e espaciais entre atributos do Eucalyptus camaldulensis e de alguns atributos de um LATOSSOLO VERMELHO Distrófico, os quais foram: resistência à penetração (RP), umidade gravimétrica (UG), densidade do solo (DS), porosidade total (PT), potencial hidrogeniônico (pH), matéria orgânica (MO) e estoque de carbono (EC). O volume da madeira pôde ser estimado por meio da cokrigagem com a RP do solo, ratificando assim a RP como um atributo potencial para atuar como indicador de qualidade visando o aumento da produtividade da madeira. Do ponto de vista espacial, a Composição Amostral com Média de Dez Dados (CA10): apresentou-se como a mais satisfatória, sendo a única composição amostral capaz de caracterizar a variabilidade dos atributos do Eucalyptus camaldulensis, onde possibilitou-se criar mapas relacionando-se com o solo, podendo determinar as zonas específicas de manejo.

Published: November 2024

A partir de 1950, o surgimento e a expansão desordenada de comunidades na Amazônia trouxeram consigo uma série de impactos ambientais, como a exploração predatória de madeira, o avanço das fronteiras agrícolas e, sobretudo, a relação inadequada homem/meio ambiente. Este processo intensificou a pressão sobre os recursos naturais, sobretudo, o aumento do desmatamento sobre a florestas nativas e, assim, a perda de biodiversidade e a degradação dos ativos naturais. O objetivo da pesquisa é analisar a percepção dos moradores da comunidade da Ilha da Fazenda, em Senador José Porfírio-PA, acerca da importância dos recursos naturais para sua sobrevivência e sustentabilidade. Para isto, aplicou-se a análise fatorial para associar um conjunto amplo de variáveis para a determinação de um indicador capaz de representar a dimensão econômico-ecológica proposta para este estudo. Como resultados, foi observado que 11,43% dos entrevistados consideram que os recursos naturais exercem um papel muito importante à sua subsistência e bem-estar; 20% revelaram que tais recursos são importantes à manutenção dos seus meios de vida; 31,43% expressaram relevância intermediária e 37,14% atribuíram baixa e muito fraca influência destes em suas vidas. Por fim, observou-se que mais da metade (62,86%) dos entrevistados reconhece o potencial dos ativos naturais desta comunidade à sua subsistência, assim como fontes geradoras de produtos e serviços ecossistêmicos para as famílias locais e para a sociedade como um todo.

The need to find sustainable and viable alternatives for agricultural fertilization has driven research into the use of organo-mineral fertilizers. This study evaluated the initial development of Adzuki beans [Vigna angularis (Willd.) Ohwi & H. Ohashi] with organomineral fertilization, resulting from the combination of biomass ash and synthetic mineral fertilizers. Different doses of organominerals were applied (6.25, 12.5, 18.75 and 25.0 g dm-3), and various plant parameters were assessed. The results indicated that organomineral fertilization, especially at a dose of 25.0 g dm-3, had a positive influence on soil pH, plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf area, shoot dry mass, root volume and root dry mass. The organomineral proved to be effective in promoting the initial growth of Adzuki beans, offering an alternative to the exclusive use of mineral fertilizers.

A doença cardíaca congênita (DCC) é uma das malformações congênitas mais comuns, apresentando impactos significativos na saúde e na qualidade de vida dos afetados. O transplante cardíaco (TxC) se estabelece como uma opção terapêutica crucial para pacientes com DCC em estágio avançado, proporcionando melhorias nos desfechos clínicos e na sobrevida. Este estudo visa revisar sistematicamente a literatura existente sobre a evolução do tratamento das DCC, com ênfase no papel do TxC em comparação aos tratamentos convencionais. A pesquisa foi conduzida nas bases de dados SCIELO, resultando em 183 artigos iniciais. Após a aplicação de critérios de inclusão e exclusão, cinco estudos foram selecionados para análise detalhada. Os resultados indicam que o TxC oferece taxas de sobrevida superiores e uma qualidade de vida aprimorada em relação às alternativas convencionais. Apesar das complicações associadas ao transplante, como rejeições e infecções, as taxas de manejo adequadas demonstram a eficácia dessa intervenção. Este estudo reforça a necessidade de uma abordagem multidisciplinar no manejo de pacientes com DCC e destaca a importância de protocolos rigorosos no pós-transplante para otimizar resultados e melhorar a qualidade de vida.

Analysis of research on abrasive wear of vermicular cast iron
Authors: Jakubus Aneta
Published: November 2024

The paper analyzes and discusses the orientations of researchers regarding the abrasive wear of vermicular cast iron. The analysis was related to the shape of graphite occurrence in cast iron, the change in the matrix and the change in chemical composition, and the impact of these changes on wear under dry and wet friction conditions. Compact graphite cast iron is tested for use in machine and device parts such as cylinders and piston rings, discs, shafts and bearings. It was found that the improvement of abrasive wear of vermicular cast iron is influenced, among others, by the shape of graphite, the alloy addition in the form of tin, as well as the change of the matrix in vermicular cast iron to an ausferritic one. Summarizing the analysis of research carried out by a number of authors, it would be necessary to continue research on the abrasion resistance of this material, and it would also be advisable to include issues related to the warping and deformation of samples as a result of heating and cooling of cast iron.

Published: November 2024

Background: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the Haller index for recurrence risk in primary spontaneous pneumothorax patients.

Methods: Between January 2018 and December 2023, a total of 285 patients (260 males, 25 females; median age: 23 years; range, 17 to 35 years) with primary spontaneous pneumothorax who underwent thoracic computed tomography and followed for at least one year were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups as the non-recurrence group (n=170) and recurrence (n=115) group. The Haller index was calculated from computed tomography scans at presentation and its predictive value for recurrent pneumothorax was estimated.

Results: The median age was significantly higher in the non-recurrence group than in the recurrence group (p< 0.001). The median time to recurrence was two (IQR 1-3) months. The diagnostic validity of Haller index for predicting recurrence showed an area under the receiver operating characteristic of 0.824 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.775-0.866) (p< 0.001). The optimal cut-off value of Haller index (>2.4) showed a sensitivity of 70.43% (95% CI: 61.2-78.6) and specificity of 76.47% (95% CI: 69.4-82.6).

Conclusion: A high Haller index is associated with increased recurrent pneumothorax risk in primary spontaneous pneumothorax patients. Traditionally used for pectus excavatum severity, incorporating Haller index in the management of these patients may help to identify high-risk patients and guide personalized management strategies.

Background: The study aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy of single-shot serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) with other regional block techniques.

Methods: In this meta-analysis, randomized controlled trials published in the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ClinicalKey, and PROSPERO electronic databases between March 24, 2014 and March 24, 2024 comparing the analgesic efficacy of SABP with other regional blocks in adult patients undergoing VATS were reviewed.

Results: Nine randomized controlled trials consisting of a total of 537 participants (287 males, 250 females; mean age: 55.2±13.1 years) were included in this meta-analysis. Serratus anterior plane block was compared with erector spinae plane block (ESPB), local infiltration anesthesia (LIA), and thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB). The postoperative 24-h cumulative opioid consumption was statistically significantly higher in SAPB than in ESPB (standardized mean difference [SMD]=1.98; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.23 to 3.73; Z=2.22; p=0.03; I2 =97%; random effects model) and TPVB (SMD=0.63; 95% CI, 0.31 to 0.96; Z=3.84; p<0.001; I2 =0%; fixed effects model) and lower than in LIA (SMD=–1.77; 95% CI, –2.24 to –1.30; Z=7.41; p<0.001; I2 =0%; fixed effects model). Active pain scores 2 h postoperatively were statistically significantly lower in SAPB than in LIA (SMD=–2.90; 95% CI, –5.29 to –0.50; Z=2.37; p=0.02; I2 =93%; random-effects model). At 12 h postoperatively, both passive pain scores (SMD=0.37; 95% CI, 0.07 to 0.66; Z=2.41; p=0.02; I2 =0%; fixed effects model) and active pain scores (SMD=0.55; 95% CI, 0.25 to 0.85; Z=3.60; p<0.001; I2 =0%; fixed effects model) were statistically significantly lower in ESBP than in SAPB. There was no difference between SAPB and the other groups in terms of the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Conclusion: After a comprehensive evaluation of postoperative analgesic effects, it appears that ESBP and TPVB may be better than SABP, and SABP may be better than LIA for analgesia of patients undergoing VATS. Further studies are required to determine the optimal regional analgesia technique in VATS.

Through a comprehensive literature review, we investigate the evolution of educational technologies, from artificial intelligence and virtual reality to learning analytics and blockchain. Our analysis reveals that, when integrated effectively, these technologies offer unprecedented opportunities to personalize the educational experience, transcend geographical and temporal barriers, and create more immersive and adaptive learning environments. However, we also identify significant challenges, including issues of equity in access, data privacy, and the need to reshape pedagogical practices. The study highlights the importance of a balanced approach that maximizes the benefits of technological innovation while preserving fundamental educational values ​​and ethical principles. We emphasize the need to develop new competencies among educators and students, as well as to create flexible educational policies that can quickly adapt to technological changes. Looking ahead, we propose strategies for creating more resilient and innovative educational ecosystems that not only incorporate the latest technologies but also cultivate essential human skills such as creativity, critical thinking, and adaptability. We conclude that while technological trends offer transformative potential for education, their success depends on careful and contextualized implementation, supported by ongoing research and collaboration among all actors in the educational ecosystem.

INTRODUCTION: Dengue is an acute febrile disease, caused by the DENV virus and transmitted mainly by mosquitoes of the genus Aedes. It is an endemic pathology mostly in countries in Asia and America. The clinical course is usually divided into three phases: febrile, critical and recovery, with fever being the initial symptom, sometimes accompanied by anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea and maculopapular rash. The critical phase is characterized by increased capillary permeability, which results in hemorrhage, shock, and organ dysfunction due to the accumulation of fluid, which is gradually reabsorbed in the recovery phase. The diagnosis of dengue is made after the detection of the NS1 antigen; genome, by RT-PCR; or IgM or IgG antibodies. Treatment is symptomatic only. During pregnancy, studies suggest that there is an increase in adverse maternal-fetal outcomes in the face of DENV infection, in addition to challenging diagnosis, due to pregnancy physiological adaptations. In this context, this systematic review aims to analyze how dengue behaves in pregnant women and the outcome of the infection. METHODS: searches were performed in PubMed, with the keywords "dengue pregnancy", in LILACS, using "dengue pregnancy" and "dengue embarazo", and in Scielo, using "dengue pregnancy". A total of 188, 18, 21 and 1 results were obtained, respectively, and after exclusion by title and abstract, and by full text, 32 articles were included. RESULTS: Of the maternal outcomes, severe thrombocytopenia and death were the most cited in the articles, followed by postpartum hemorrhage, more severe forms of the disease, need for cesarean section, and preeclampsia. The most prevalent fetal repercussion was prematurity, in addition to stillbirths, neonatal deaths, low birth weight, and oligohydramnios. DISCUSSION: The articles analyzed suggest that dengue fever in pregnancy increases the risk of severe forms of the disease, postpartum hemorrhage, maternal death, miscarriage, stillbirths, fetal growth restriction, prematurity and oligohydramnios, especially in the face of infections acquired in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy. Vertical transmission also increases at the end of pregnancy. CONCLUSION: this review highlights that dengue is especially relevant during pregnancy, with a significant negative impact on maternal and fetal outcomes. However, more studies are still needed for further study, since there is no consensus.

Authors: Brunelli Patrícia Cristina Ferreira , Smaniotto Melissa Andréa
Published: November 2024

Holding companies as a form of succession planning has gained prominence in the business and family context, being used as an effective strategy for protecting assets and minimizing taxes. The general objective will be to analyze the use of holding companies as a succession planning mechanism, addressing their advantages, and legal and tax aspects, in addition to highlighting their importance in organizing family assets. The research methodology used is bibliographic, involving the analysis of doctrines, academic articles, and legislation relevant to the subject, aiming to provide an in-depth understanding of the advantages and challenges associated with the creation of holding companies. The justification for choosing this topic lies in the growing need for succession planning in Brazil, where the lack of an adequate strategy can lead to asset disruption and family conflicts. In addition, the relevance of the topic is evidenced by the complexity of tax laws and the search for alternatives that guarantee efficiency in the transfer of assets. Thus, the analysis of holdings as a succession planning tool not only contributes to academic knowledge but also guides entrepreneurs and families in adopting practices that promote asset security and the continuity of their legacies.

CAMINHOS DA JUSTIÇA: AUTISMO E A ÉTICA DO CUIDADO COMO FUNDAMENTOS PARA POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS INCLUSIVAS NA EDUCAÇÃO
Authors: Zenni Alessandro Severino Valler , Da Silva Joyce Kelly
Published: November 2024

This article analyzes the relationship between the rights of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the ethics of care, in the context of inclusive public policies aimed at education in Brazil. The main objective is to investigate how the ethics of care can influence the creation and implementation of policies that promote the inclusion and protection of the rights of autistic people, addressing issues such as equality, access to education, and the construction of a more inclusive society.  In the functionalist society of social roles and utilitarian values, an essential contour to the dignity of the human person and its evaluative consectaries, embodied in constitutional norms, marks a hermeneutic criterion for the construction of a just, fraternal and solidary society. Emancipatory policies aimed at children with ASD imply the realization of social rights, emphasizing the maximum effectiveness of fundamental rights.  Furthermore, the ethics of care in the social right to education of people with ASD, addressing concepts from Winnicott and Boff, and highlighting the importance of affection and recognition, envisage the overcoming of ethical models based on legalism and utilitarian culture, rewriting the history of fraternity to superimpose itself on the functionalism of risks and calculations in the plan of social engagement so recurrent in the society of statistics and budget.

Published: November 2024

A Fibromialgia é uma doença crônica com uma limitada e desafiadora falta de informações científicas concretas, por motivos de se tratar de uma patologia de difícil diagnóstico, com isso várias vezes confundida com outras doenças e por não apresentar evidências comprovadoras sobre seu real surgimento, acometendo mais o gênero feminino. O exercício físico pode ser uma alternativa para promover a melhora da qualidade de vida e da independência (autonomia motora) em pessoas com Fibromialgia, além de possivelmente impactar positivamente os indivíduos em muitos outros aspectos. A diminuição do uso de recursos farmacológicos poderá seu uma consequência benéfica da utilização dos exercícios físicos de forma sistematizada. Esta revisão teve como objetivo demonstrar os efeitos dos exercícios físicos em pacientes diagnosticados com Fibromialgia. Segundo os levantamentos conduzidos, estudos científicos comprovam que a prática de exercícios físicos regularmente e com acompanhamento adequado por um profissional são eficazes e auxiliam na redução dos pontos de dores (tender points), na diminuição da utilização de recursos farmacológicos, e na melhora da qualidade de vida.
