Avaliação do Perfil de Espalhamento da Radiação em Mamografia Digital Utilizando Simulações Monte Carlo
Authors: Dias Martins Santos Thamye , Rodrigues de Lima Wallifer , Kleber dos Santos Garcia Fernando , Merigue da Cunha Diego
Published: September 2024

No processo de formação da imagem em Mamografia, a radiação espalhada que atinge o receptor resulta em uma degradação na qualidade e resolução da imagem final, comprometendo o diagnóstico. Compreender o padrão de distribuição da radiação espalhada é essencial para o desenvolvimento e aprimoramento de técnicas de processamento que visam a correção da imagem mamográfica. Neste estudo, foram empregadas simulações Monte Carlo para mapear a distribuição da radiação espalhada em mamografia digital, considerando mamas com espessura variando de 2 a 8 cm, e potenciais de tubo variando entre 24 e 32 kV. Com os resultados obtidos nas simulações, foi possível estimar a razão espalhamento/primário (SPR) e a extensão radial média (k) da distribuição da radiação espalhada. Os resultados indicam que mamas mais espessas geram uma maior deposição de radiação espalhada sobre o receptor de imagem, assim como, tais mamas apresentam curva de espalhamento que decai ao longo da distância radial de forma menos acentuada que mamas mais finas. Tanto os valores de SPR quanto os de k apresentam comportamento crescente com a espessura da mama. Desse modo, constata-se que a espessura da mama é o fator que mais contribui para a mudança do perfil da radiação espalhada, sendo as mamas mais espessas as mais afetadas pelo espalhamento. Os resultados alcançados podem ser uteis para o desenvolvimento de novas técnicas de correção de imagem, visando melhorar os diagnósticos utilizando mamografia.

Published: September 2024

O paradigma da eficácia escolar implica, hoje, a capacidade de as organizações escolares combaterem as desigualdades no desempenho de alunos de diferentes origens socioculturais. Contudo, são ainda escassos os estudos que procuram identificar as características escolares que beneficiam concretamente alunos descendentes de imigrantes. Este texto apresenta os resultados parciais de um estudo de caso, realizado numa escola básica da Área Metropolitana de Lisboa, que demonstrou uma diminuição progressiva da desigualdade nas taxas de retenção entre alunos com e sem origens imigrantes, no 2.º ciclo, durante quatro anos letivos. Foram realizadas 13 entrevistas semi-diretivas a docentes, lideranças escolares, representantes dos pais e da comunidade. A análise de conteúdo temática focou-se na identificação das abordagens à diversidade predominantes na escola, das quais se destacaram uma combinação de multiculturalismo e igualitarismo. Os resultados dão conta da coexistência de múltiplas abordagens à diversidade na mesma escola e apontam para vantagens na combinação de uma abordagem centrada na promoção da igualdade com uma abordagem multicultural de valorização da diferença, em linha com a literatura existente. Sobressaem, apesar disso, efeitos não-intencionais da evolução da composição social na escola sobre a adoção de estratégias de gestão da diversidade de cariz assimilacionista, que são discutidos à luz do seu impacto na promoção da igualdade de oportunidades.

A oferta e utilização de tecnologias de assistência, onde se incluem os serviços de teleassistência, têm-se expandido ao longo das últimas décadas, inclusivamente junto das pessoas que se encontram nas fases mais avançadas da vida. É advogado que estas tecnologias promovem o envelhecimento no lugar/na comunidade e a qualidade de vida (QdV) dos mais velhos. Contudo, a evidência empírica ainda é escassa ou inconclusiva sobre o modo como os adultos mais velhos utilizam estas tecnologias, assim como se, e de que forma, a utilização destas tecnologias promove, efetivamente, a QdV. Este artigo pretende dar um contributo para o esclarecimento destas questões, reportando alguns resultados de um estudo qualitativo sobre a utilização e avaliação do serviço de teleassistência de um Município da região do Algarve, do qual se realizaram 21 entrevistas semiestruturadas a utilizadores com 65 ou mais anos de idade (às quais se adicionam 5 entrevistas exploratórias a informantes privilegiados). Os resultados aqui reportados chamam a atenção para a diversidade de padrões de utilização do serviço de teleassistência, particularmente para a existência de um padrão de utilização que denota a persistência na sociedade portuguesa de cidadãos que não estarão suficientemente empoderados para usar os serviços sociais de que necessitam e a que têm direito. Os resultados também oferecem evidência de que o serviço de teleassistência, na ótica dos seus utilizadores, promove, efetivamente, a qualidade das suas vidas, muito por via da segurança que proporciona, e não tanto pela companhia que providencia. São discutidas as implicações destes resultados para o conhecimento sociológico, as políticas públicas e as práticas profissionais.

Luottamus instituutioihin ja lakisääteinen eläketurva
Authors: Liukko Jyri , Palomäki Liisa-Maria
Published: September 2024

Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan eläketurvaan kohdistuvan luottamuksen osatekijöitä analysoimalla vapaamuotoisia avovastauksia siitä, mitkä tekijät lisäävät ja heikentävät luottamusta lakisääteiseen eläketurvaan. Keskeinen tutkimuskysymys on, minkälaisista tekijöistä luottamus lakisääteiseen eläketurvaan koostuu. Lisäksi artikkelissa tarkastellaan luottamuksen ja kestävyyden käsitteiden suhdetta eläketurvan kontekstissa. Tutkimusmenetelmänä käytetään teoriasidonnaista temaattista sisällönanalyysia avovastauksien yleisimmistä teemoista. Artikkeli osoittaa, että eläketurvaan kohdistuva luottamus rakentuu ainakin kolmesta yleisemmän tason osatekijästä, joista yksi on jäänyt vähemmälle huomiolle luottamuksen rakentumisen tarkasteluissa. Nämä liittyvät järjestelmän toimintavarmuuteen, lopputulokseen eli eläkkeiden riittävyyteen ja oikeudenmukaisuuteen sekä järjestelmän ulkopuolella oleviin tekijöihin. Toisella tapaa ilmaistuna kyse on eläketurvan teknishallinnollisesta kestävyydestä, sosiaalisesta kestävyydestä sekä taloudellisesta, poliittisesta ja yhteiskunnallisesta kestävyydestä.
Toimijuus kuntoutuksessa – Yksilökeskeinen sosiokulttuurinen näkökulma lyhytkasvuisten aikuisten kuntoutuskokemuksiin
Authors: Paloniemi Susanna , Ristolainen Leena , Hurri Heikki
Published: September 2024

Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan kuntoutujien toimijuutta kuntoutuksessa lyhytkasvuisten aikuisten kuntoutuskokemusten avulla. Yksilökeskeisen sosiokulttuurisen näkökulman mukaan toimijuus ymmärretään tutkimuksessa yksilön ja sosiaalisen vastavuoroisena suhteena, joka ilmenee kuntoutujan kannanottoina, osallistumisena ja vaikuttamisena omaan kuntoutukseensa. Tutkimuksessa kysytään: 1) missä tilanteissa kuntoutujan toimijuus ilmenee ja mihin se kohdistuu? ja 2) mitkä yksilölliset ja sosiaaliset tekijät edistävät kuntoutujan toimijuutta ja mitkä rajoittavat sitä? 21 lyhytkasvuisen aikuisen haastatteluaineistoanalysoitiin temaattisella analyysillä. Kuntoutujien toimijuus ilmeni: 1) vaikuttamisena päätöksentekoon, 2) aktiivisena osallistumisena kuntoutuskäytännöissä, 3) valinnanvapautena ja toisin toimimisena sekä 4) elämänkulun toimijuutena. Toimijuutta resursoivat yksilön oma aktiivisuus sekä asiantuntijoiden, vertaisten ja järjestöjen tuki. Kuntoutuksen palvelujärjestelmää koskeva tiedon hajanaisuus, lausunnonlaatijoiden portinvartijuus ja elämänkulun muutosten huomiotta jättäminen kuntoutuskäytännöissä heikensivät kuntoutujien toimijuutta.

Authors: Elfving Ström Eeva
Published: September 2024

Artikkeli käsittelee sosiaalityön toiseuttavia tulkintoja erityisesti kunniaan liittyvän väkivallan kontekstissa. Se analysoi, miten kunniaan liittyvä väkivalta nähdään sosiaalisena ongelmana suomalaisessa sosiaalityössä ja millaisia tulkintoja sen yhteydessä tehdään. Artikkeli korostaa toiseuttamisen ongelmaa, jossa yksilöt jaotellaan “meihin” ja “muihin” kulttuuristen erojen perusteella, mikä luo hierarkioita.Tutkimuksessa käytetään sosiaalityöntekijöiltä kerättyä aineistoa, joka paljastaa kulttuurisiin oletuksiin perustuvia tulkintoja. Artikkeli painottaa kriittisen reflektion tärkeyttä sosiaalityön käytännöissä, jotta toiseuttavia tulkintoja voidaan purkaa ja uhrien tukeminen voidaan toteuttaa asianmukaisesti.
Moniammatillisen yhteistyön perusteluja ja haasteita lapsen tilanteen arvioinnissa
Authors: Lamponen Tuuli , Aarnio Noora , Veistilä Minna
Published: September 2024

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan, miten moniammatillisen yhteistyön tarvetta perustellaan arvioitaessa lapsen tilannetta lastensuojelun rajapinnalla. Vaikka arvioinnista vastaa sosiaalihuollon ammattihenkilö tai virkavastuussa oleva sosiaalityöntekijä, siihen osallistuu muitakin ammattilaisia ja läheisverkostoa. Nä­kökulma moniammatillisen yhteistyön perusteluihin ja haasteisiin lapsen tilannetta arvioitaessa muo­dostui kokemusasiantuntijoiden, ammattilaisten ja esihenkilöiden haastatteluista. Moniammatillisen yhteistyön perusteluina olivat: monipuolisen tiedon kertyminen lapsen tilanteesta, osaamisen varmis­taminen oikean tulkinnan muodostamiseksi, vastuun jakaminen ja yksilöllisen arvioinnin muodostu­minen prosessin aikana. Moniammatillista yhteistyötä heikentävät arvioinnin kompleksiset rakenteet, vastuukysymysten epäselvyydet ja liian suoraviivainen pyrkimys yhteisymmärrykseen. Riittävän tiedon kertyminen, toimivat rakenteet ja koordinaatio puolestaan tukevat moniammatillista yhteistyötä, jolloin työskentely voi muodostua tiiviiksi yhdessä toimimiseksi ja arviointirakenne kokonaisvaltaisemmaksi.

Experiment on Decomposition of Disposable Mask Waste Using Acid Liquid
Authors: Arinda Anis Ayu , Porusia Mitoriana
Published: September 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in disposable mask usage, raising environmental concerns due to improper disposal. This research aims to investigate the decomposition of disposable mask waste, specifically duckbill masks, by immersing them in 32% HCl and 98% H2SO4 solutions. This research uses experimental research methods for processing mask waste using the method of immersion in 32% HCl solution and immersion in  98% H2SO4. Fifty grams of mask waste were soaked in 1000 ml of each acid solution for periods of 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks, with four replications for each time period, and water used as a control. After soaking, the masks were dried and re-weighed to assess weight loss. The data were analyzed using T-tests and ANOVA with SPSS 26. Results showed that after 4 weeks, H2SO4 reduced mask mass by 26%, while HCl achieved a 22% reduction. In the first week, H2SO4 reduced the weight by 3 grams, increasing to a total reduction of 13 grams by the fourth week. Similarly, HCl reduced the mask weight by 2 grams in the first week, with a total reduction of 11 grams by the end of the experiment. The findings suggest that H2SO4 is more effective than HCl in degrading disposable mask waste, offering a potential solution for managing mask waste environmentally. For the local government, it is necessary to make efforts to socialize the community in order to broaden their knowledge regarding the management of disposable mask waste so that the volume of mask waste stockpiles can be reduced and can be more beneficial.

Published: September 2024

Objective: Nanotechnology has gained importance in the fight against epidemics and antibiotic resistance. Nanotechnology is a potential way to prevent the increase of multidrug-resistant bacterial species. The aim of this study was to determine the antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activities of Origanum majorana and Echinacea purpurea silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) against Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) ATCC 25923, Escherichia coli (E.coli) 25922, Pseudomonas aureginosa (P.aureginosa) 27853, Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) 700603.

Methods: Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values of silver nanoparticles were determined by microdilution method in 96-well ELISA plates. The anti-biofilm effect of silver nanoparticles was performed by crystal violet method in 96-well microplates.

Results: The MIC value of four isolates was determined as 128 µg/ml for two nanoparticles. Only 256 µg/ml and 512 µg/ml were found for S. aureus. In vitro, anti-biofilm effect of AgNPs against biofilm forming bacteria was evaluated in a dose-dependent manner. S. aureus, AgNP synthesized from Origanum majorana plant extract (512 µg/ml) reduced biofilm formation by 92% after 24 hours of incubation. As a result of 24 hours incubation of S. aureus with AgNP (512 µg/ml) synthesized from Echinacea purpurea (L.) It was determined that biofilm formation decreased by 85%. It was observed that both different nanoparticles significantly inhibited the biofilm mass.

Conclusion: AgNPs showed antimicrobial and antibiofilm effects for standard strains. The use of AgNPs as antimicrobials is promising for the future.

Objective: To retrospectively determine the long-term outcome of adult intracranial and spinal ependymoma patients treated with postoperative radiation therapy after surgery.

Methods: Fourteen adult patients who underwent radiotherapy after surgery at a single center between 1999 and 2022 were included. The endpoints analyzed were overall survival and progression-free survival, together with prognostic factors.

Results: The median (range) age was 29.5 (23–58) years. The majority (71.4%) of the tumors were located in the spinal canal and gross total resection was performed in nine (64.3%) patients. Six patients were irradiated after recurrence (spinal n=4, intracranial n=2) of whom three had myxopapillary and two had anaplastic histology. Patients were followed up for a median duration of 106.5 (13-172) months. Overall, 4 patients (intracranial n=3, spinal n=1) had recurrences and died after radiotherapy as a direct result of disease progression during the follow-up period. All of these intracranial tumors exhibited anaplastic histology and the spinal tumor was myxopapillary type. Patients with intracranial lesions had a 5-year survival of 50% and no patient was alive on the 10th year, compared with 5- and 10-year overall survival of 87.5 % for patients with spinal tumors. Patients with spinal tumors had a 5- and 10-year progression-free survival rate of 52.5%, while those with intracranial lesions had a rate of 25%.

Conclusion: In low-grade spinal ependymomas radiotherapy appears to control disease, even after recurrence. For myxopapillary ependymoma patients, in subtotally resected intracranial and all high-grade tumors, regardless of the extent of resection, adjuvant radiotherapy should be administered.

THE USE OF STEAM EDUCATION IN THE TRAINING OF MUSIC TEACHERS
Authors: Di Liu
Published: September 2024

With the development of information technology, STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) has become an innovation. STEAM education helps you develop the versatile skills you need to succeed in various areas of life. An interdisciplinary approach is needed today to solve the complex problems of the modern world. The study of how STEAM education influences the training of music teachers is potentially interesting, as music has unique areas of interdisciplinary interaction with other fields of knowledge. In STEAM education, music should be perceived as a tool for a deeper analysis of the essence of music through the prism of other sciences. We used several methods to determine the potential impact of STEAM education on the results of music teacher training, including theoretical methods of scientific knowledge: analysis of scientific publications and their systematization and generalization, as well as comparison and abstract modeling to identify possible impacts of STEAM education on the results of music teacher training. The article provides examples of practices for using elements of STEAM education in the study of music and describes various aspects of the interaction of music with each component of STEAM. It has been proven that STEAM education has several advantages that make it relevant for the modern training of a future music teacher: the development of critical thinking and creativity, which are important for a successful music teacher.

Multiple benefits and advantages that offer laser cutting technology are difficult to achieve if the laser cutting parameter conditions are not adequately set. Determining laser cutting conditions is not trivial task considering large number of controllable inputs, existence of multiple process performances which are often mutually opposed as well as effects of noise factors. Different scientific methods and engineering approaches represent more sophisticated approaches which aid assessment and determination of the most favourable (optimized) cutting conditions. This study is focused assessment and ranking of laser cutting conditions in CO2 laser cutting of AISI 316L stainless steel. Based on kerf width and surface roughness experimental data and estimation of material removal rate (MRR) and total variable costs, four criteria in the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) model were considered. For solving the developed model, six well-known MCDM methods were applied, and in addition, in order to overcome ranking inconsistency, robust decision-making rule was developed upon which final ranking was obtained.

Published: September 2024

In this article, the authors present a clinical case of vape-associated lung injury and the approach to its management, as this condition is rather an diagnosis of exception. Lung injury associated with the use of electronic cigarettes or vaping is an acute respiratory disease characterized by a variety of clinical and pathological signs of damage to both the lung parenchyma and the tracheobronchial tree. There are no specific complaints, objective examination findings, or typical changes in laboratory and instrumental examination data for this condition. There is also no clear justification for the etiologic factors and pathogenetic mechanisms of the development of lung injury when inhaling substances produced by the electronic cigarettes and vapes. The described clinical case confirms the need for a thorough history, timely and adequate diagnostic search, and treatment of the detected interstitial lung injury. Key words: electronic cigarettes, vape-associated lung injury.

Catamenial (menstrual) pneumothorax is a recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax that occurs within 24-72 hours after the onset of menstruation. The most frequent cause of this condition is extragenital, namely thoracic endometriosis, with the presence of functioning endometrioid tissue in the pleura, lung parenchyma, respiratory tract, and diaphragm. Coelomic metaplasia, retrograde menstruation, microembolism of endometrial tissue, clockwise peritoneal circulation, and transgenital-transdiaphragmatic air movement are common theories postulated for thoracic endometriosis. The diagnosis of thoracic endometriosis requires histological confirmation, whereas catamenial pneumothorax is a clinical diagnosis, accounting for 18�33 % of spontaneous pneumothorax in women. Unfortunately, catamenial pneumothorax does not differ in any way from the pneumothorax from other causes, except of synchronous development with menstruation. Diagnosis should be based on the results of radiological (chest radiography, chest computed tomography), instrumental (thoracoscopy, VATS, thoracotomy), pathohistological and immunohistochemical examination methods. Diagnosis of the disease usually takes from 8 to 18 months. The article describes the clinical case of catamenial pneumothorax and the results of treatment using minimally invasive methods aimed at complete obliteration of the pleural cavity by means of a total pleurectomy. The purpose of the article is to better characterize the phenomenon of catamenial pneumothorax, to evaluate the symptoms and methods of diagnosis, and to improve the outcomes of surgical treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax in women by using minimally invasive methods for complete obliteration of the pleural cavity with a total pleurectomy. Key words: catamenial pneumothorax, endometriosis of the diaphragm, VATS, surgical treatment, oral contraceptives.
Gender gaps in school grades: An analysis on resistance behaviour and class compositions in England, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden
Authors: Raabe Isabel Jasmin , Steinmann Isa
Published: September 2024

In recent years, research has increasingly focused on boys’ educational trajectories, revealing that boys are often at a disadvantage compared to girls in various educational outcomes. School resistance behaviour, referring to actions such as disrupting lessons, defying school norms and rules, rejecting authority, and not putting effort into schoolwork, is found more often among boys. We argue that gender differences in school resistance behaviour can explain part of gender differences in school grades. Furthermore, the gender composition of the school class is likely to matter in this dynamic. Our study offers a comprehensive, large-scale examination of gender differences in school grades in language and mathematics among secondary school students in four European countries (n = 18,234 students in 886 classes). When controlling for test scores in cognitive and language ability, respectively for grades in mathematics and language, as well as for demographic characteristics, our results show that gender gaps in fact do not consistently favour girls, as boys have an advantage in mathematics. Boys more frequently demonstrate school resistance behaviour, which partially explains the gender gap in language grades (where girls are advantaged), but not in mathematics grades (where boys are advantaged). Moreover, we found that resistance behaviour affects girls' grades more severely due to differential punishment. Lastly, there was no evidence for the gender composition of a school class to be related to individual grades.
The impact of global greening on the natural atmospheric CO₂ level
Authors: Schrijver Frans J
Published: September 2024

In this study we investigate the impact of greening on the Earth in terms of gross primary production (GPP) on the natural atmospheric CO₂ level. The total mass of CO₂ in the atmosphere is equal to the yearly amount of CO₂ that leaves the atmosphere (down flux), multiplied by the average time CO₂ remains in the atmosphere (residence time). The biological processes of photosynthesis and respiration are by far the most important components of the fluxes to and from the atmosphere. Since the preindustrial period the down flux has increased by 29% and the residence time by 16%. Together they fully explain the recent CO₂ rise, without assuming different behaviors for human-generated CO₂ compared to natural CO₂ and without the need for an ad-hoc model with multiple residence times. Based on the changes in the biosphere under the influence of higher temperatures, the present CO₂ level can be regarded as a natural level, so much larger than the assumed 280 ppmv. The current total GPP is probably not extraordinary, which makes it unlikely that the ice core records of Antarctica provide an accurate representation of the historical levels.
