RETHINKING URBAN RENEWAL PROGRAMMES FOR PANDEMIC CONTROL IN NIGERIA
Authors: Alonge S. K. , Wadinga A.
Published: April 2021

Most urban renewal programmes in Africa are conceived as mere urban beautification projects. From Lagos to Dakar, move one or two kilometers away from the city centers and one is faced with filth and squalor that are summed up in two words –urban slums, in which a great majority of city populations reside. In Nigeria, population living in slums as percentage of urban population is put at 50.2 % in 2014, up from 41.0% in 2007. This highlights the rapid growth of urban slums in Africa with rapid urbanization largely fueled by rural-urban migration. Incidentally, lessons from COVID-19 indicate that if the trend in the growth of unplanned slum settlements are not checked, they will become the hotspots for pandemic transmission in Africa, as the slum populations are part and parcel of the entire urban population who indeed are key drivers of city activities in terms of labour supply, as well as their engagements in small scale informal business activities in the cities. In the light of existing knowledge on the potential threat of dense slum settlements to the spread of pandemic, this paper reviews the appropriateness of traditional approach to urban renewal programmes in Africa and makes recommendations for paradigm shift as historical evidences reveal that COVID-19 is neither the first nor the last pandemic.

The influence of humans on biodiversity at the genetic, species, community, and ecosystem levels is enormous. This is even more impactful on plant populations, which, being immobile, are at the mercy of their immediate environment. Digitaria horizontalis is a very common grass species in Benin City. Its ruderal nature accounts mostly for its widespread. The current study investigated the existence of possible genetic diversity of the grass in built environment in Benin City. Plant samples were randomly collected from 21 built environment locations within 6 Local Government Council Areas that make up Benin City. Test plants were allowed to acclimatize in experimental bowls and then allowed to grow for 4 weeks after which morphological characteristics were determined. Genetic diversity was determined by Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA. Significant differences in plant height (33.0 – 59.0 cm) occurred when plants were compared based on location of collection. Changes in patterns of the association with weeds within the vicinity of the test plant was observed. The most prevalent plant species associated with the test plant was Pennisetum purpureum with a 12.18% prevalence. RAPD analysis using primer OPA 04 revealed a locus (about 600bp) that was absent in one or more of the locations with minimum disturbance. This 600pb fragment was however observed in most samples from highly built up and trampled environments. Primer OPA 03 showed monomorphic bands in 2 test samples with a band size of 400bp. It is therefore reported that there is an existence of the genetic diversity in a landscape of grass species (Digitaria horizontalis) found in different built environment in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria.

Vata dosha governs the movements in the body, activities of the nervous system, and the process of elimination from our body. When Vata dosha becomes imbalanced for a sufficiently long enough time, pitta and kapha dosha also get imbalanced. Vata depicts ether and air Just like air is necessary for life on earth to function, everything is dependent on Vata in our body. Vata is known as the king of the doshas. In this article, we have compiled the role of Vata doshaAshayapakarsha. Ashayapakarsha means displacement from the original place. In this condition, the vitiated vata dosha displaces the normal kapha or pitta dosha from its place.
“A Conceptual Study of Drishti in Ayurvedic and Modern point of view”.

Published: April 2021

There are five sense organs  (Panch Gyanendriya) mentioned in Ayurvedic Samhitas i.e. eye (chakshu), ear (shrota), nose  (ghrana), tongue  (rasana) and skin  (twak). One of these is eye  (Drishti) which is most important sense organ in our body. Acharya Sushruta the eminent Ayurveda region, has described the Drishti very accurately in his treatise Sushruta Samhita. There are six Netra Patala told in Ayurvedic classics which can be anatomically correlated with different layers of eyes as explained in modern ophthalmology. Drishti is a controversial word in Shalakya Tantra, a lot of meanings of Drishti have been taken in the Sushruta Samhita1. So Drishti can be simply considered as the functional unit of eye, which performs vision. It is not mere an anatomical structure but the composition of all the essential dhatus of internal eyeball. In ancient Ayurvedic scriptures have explained Netra Rachna Sharir and Kriya Sharir in a beautiful descriptive manner, still there is need of exploring the terminologies for proper understanding of pathogenesis of Netra Rogas and their managements so that implementation of Ayurvedic concepts can be done in eradication of Drishtigata Rogas in a fruitful manner to serve the humanity.

A Qualitative Examination of Relatedness Needs in Japanese EFL Classrooms and Task Motivation
Authors:   Seisen University, Agawa Toshie
Published: April 2021

The aims of this paper are to (a) examine the relatedness needs of Japanese university EFL learners, and (b) make suggestions on how instructors could organize group work in their classes. Self-determination theory postulates that, the more individuals’ relatedness needs are fulfilled, the more they are intrinsically motivated. However, some Japanese EFL motivation studies show mixed results regarding the causality. In this study, 24 Japanese university students participated in an interview. They were asked if their relationship with their classmates would influence their motivation to engage in tasks in an EFL classroom. The results indicated that, (1) when learners have not become well acquainted with their classmates in or out of class, becoming connected with them may enhance their motivation; conversely, when learners have already built good relationships with their classmates out of class, it may have different impacts on their in-class motivation, depending on the characteristic of the relationship; (2) learner motivation may improve when a given task that entails collective responsibility with other classmates; and (3) already motivated learners may prioritize competence and/or autonomy needs over relatedness needs. The author suggests that instructors assess classmates’ relationships and alter the ways they form groups and enhance positive goal interdependence among group members.
Slægtskabsreguleringer. Feministisk retsretorik som analyseramme og dens potentiale for at identificere lovens performative effekter
Authors: Kroløkke Charlotte , Rothmar Herrmann Janne
Published: April 2021

Involuntary childlessness is a well-known phenomenon, and in Denmark, every twelfth child is born through the use of assisted reproduction. Denmark is currently positioned as one of the key global actors both as far as the use of in-vitro ­fertilization (IVF) is concerned as well as within the global ­market in sperm and reproductive technologies. In this article, the authors develop a feminist legal rhetorical framework to discuss how the Danish law and ethical guidelines on adoption and assisted reproduction rhetorically produce different master plots on “natural,” “artificial,” and “monstrous” forms of kinship. The authors conclude with a discussion of the potential that a feminist legal rhetorical framework holds, including its ability to analyze how rhetorical figures and metaphors legitimize certain types of kinship as well as the ability to raise new and provo­cative questions related to gender equality within the law

Published: April 2021

The low volume of information related to the interaction of Trichoderma fungi with seeds and seedlings represents a limitation to forest production, and it is important to carry out studies focusing on its effect on plant germinability and formation. The aim was to evaluate commercial products based on Trichoderma spp. in promoting growth of Jacaranda mimosifolia. For initial seedling growth assay, seeds were treated with Trichoderma spp. suspension and placed on germinating paper sheets. At 28 days after sowing (DAS) the following evaluations were: percentage germination (PG), root length (RL), shoot length (SL), total length (TL), fresh root mass (FRM), fresh shoot mass (FSM), fresh total mass (FTM), root dry mass (RDM), shoot dry mass (SDM) and total dry mass (BIO). To evaluate the development of Jacaranda mimosifolia plants, the experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, wherein the soil of each pot (10 L) was treated with five strains of the Trichoderma spp. (Trichoderma asperellum URM 5911; T. harzianum ESALQ 1306; T. harzianum IBLF 006 WP; T. harzianum SIMBI T5 and T. harzianum T-22 WG. Then, Jacaranda mimosifolia seeds were sown and the evaluations performed at 120 DAS. The variables were: PG at 120 DAS, shoot height (SH), stem diameter (SD), and Dickson quality index (DQI). The strains SIMBI T5, ESALQ 1306 and T-22 WG stood out in relation to RL; while ESALQ 1306 and SIMBI T5 stood out performed the RL and TL. In greenhouse, SIMBI T5 and ESALQ1306 presented higher values of ALT, CR, DC, MFT. Meanwhile, only the SIMBI T5 strain stood out for MSPA, MSR, BIO and DQI.

Perceived representativeness, usefulness and impacts of using the nursing activities score as part of a workload readjustment initiative: A mixed methods study
Authors: Reda Dominique , Lavoie-Tremblay Mélanie , Primeau Marie-Douce
Published: April 2021

Objective: Nursing workload has been shown to have negative impacts on job satisfaction, retention and turnover. The NAS is one of existing tools targeting nursing workload quantification. Although tested in multiple settings, few studies explored nurses’ perception of its representativeness of workload, and its impacts when used to readjust nurse/patient ratios. This study was conducted to validate nurses’ perception of representativeness and potential usefulness of the Nursing Activities Score (NAS) in regard to nurses’ perceived workload and explore its impacts as part of a workload readjustment initiative.Methods: A mixed method design was selected, combining semi-structured interviews (n = 13), and secondary analysis of project monitoring data for an entire intensive care unit (n = 139). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS v.22 software for quantitative data, and qualitative data was analyzed through NVivo 12 software using a thematic deductive-mixed content analysis, aiming for the emergence of recurring themes. Results: When taken as a whole, the NAS is perceived to be representative of nursing workload. However, validity concerns were identified at the tool completion level, notably in regard to improper documenting of events and fundamental understanding of the tool by nurses. Numerous impacts related to the use of the NAS were also identified.Conclusions: Although the NAS appears to adequately represent nursing workload, its pertinent utility remains debatable due to high subjectivity described in this study. The sole use of the tool for patient assignment is therefore questionable.

Wanprestatie/onrechtmatige daad rechtspersoon = onrechtmatige daad bestuurder?

Wanprestatie/onrechtmatige daad rechtspersoon = onrechtmatige daad bestuurder?

De bestuurder van een rechtspersoon kan op grond van onrechtmatige daad aansprakelijk zijn tegenover een crediteur van de rechtspersoon en gehouden zijn diens schade te vergoeden. Bestuurdersaansprakelijkheid doet zich in de regel alleen voor bij aanwezigheid van een ‘persoonlijk ernstig verwijt’. Meestal is die aansprakelijkheid een subsidiaire aansprakelijkheid: biedt de rechtspersoon geen verhaal voor de vordering van de crediteur, dan richt hij zijn pijlen op de bestuurder, in de hoop daar wel verhaal te vinden. Zijn er gevallen waarin die aansprakelijkheid uit onrechtmatige daad niet pas aan de orde komt als de rechtspersoon geen verhaal biedt? De voorbeelden liggen niet voor het oprapen, maar het kan zich voordoen als de rechtspersoon door toedoen van de bestuurder zeer ernstig wanprestatie pleegt of de bestuurder de rechtspersoon opzettelijk onrechtmatig laat handelen. In dergelijke gevallen kan de crediteur de bestuurder dadelijk met de rechtspersoon aansprakelijk stellen, ongeacht of de rechtspersoon verhaal biedt of niet.

Het belang van de klassenindeling onder de WHOA

De WHOA biedt de mogelijkheid om een dwangakkoord buiten surseance van betaling of faillissement op te leggen. De schuldenaar of herstructureringsdeskundige legt het akkoord ter stemming voor aan de schuldeisers en aandeelhouders en indien ten minste één klasse van schuldeisers of aandeelhouders vóór het akkoord stemt, kan de rechter het akkoord homologeren. Een juiste klassenindeling is cruciaal voor het al dan niet slagen van een WHOA-traject. In dit artikel wordt ingegaan op de vrijheid die de schuldenaar of herstructureringsdeskundige heeft bij het vormen van de klassenindeling, de rechterlijke toetsing daarvan en de mogelijke consequenties van die toets.

Le secteur forestier canadien a besoin d’information détaillée au sujet de la quantité et des caractéristiques des ressources forestières. Pour répondre à de tels besoins, des systèmes d’inventaire exacts, complets et opportuns qui quantifient spatialement le bois d’œuvre et les autres services écosystémiques liés aux forêts sont nécessaires. Le projet quinquennal AWARE (Assessment of Wood Attributes using Remote sEnsing [évaluation des attributs du bois à l’aide de la télédétection]) était une collaboration entre sept universités canadiennes et sept entreprises forestières soutenue par des organismes forestiers provinciaux et fédéraux et d’autres organismes sans but lucratif-axés sur la foresterie. AWARE a fourni des méthodes et des outils pour améliorer la caractérisation des forêts à une échelle nationale, du paysage et de l’arbre individuel. Vingt-quatre boursiers de recherches postdoctorales et étudiants au doctorat et à la maîtrise se sont associés au projet et ont examiné les rôles que les technologies de télédétection tridimensionnelle (3D) de pointe peuvent jouer dans la conception de systèmes d’inventaire forestier précis partout au Canada. Dans le présent article de revue, nous nous penchons sur le projet de recherche AWARE, les points saillants de la recherche, les résultats clés et les besoins futurs en recherche et présentons une évaluation des réussites et des défis auxquels le projet a été confronté au cours de ses cinq ans.
Treatment of Pulmonary Artery Stump Thrombosis after Lobectomy: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Wieteska-Miłek Maria , Winiarczyk Kinga , Kupis Włodzimierz
Published: April 2021

Introduction: Lung cancer surgery is a well-known risk factor for venous thromboembolism. Thus, standard care involves the use of pharmacological and mechanical prophylaxis until discharge from the hospital. Pulmonary artery stump thrombosis (PAST) is a rare condition which can develop months to years after lung cancer surgery. This report describes a patient diagnosed with PAST and the decisions that were made regarding his treatment. Case report: A 67-year-old male was diagnosed with lung cancer due to shortness of breath, dry cough, hemoptysis, and typical chest computed tomography (CT) findings. He underwent right lower lobectomy and mediastinal lymphadenectomy by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The procedure was complicated by the development of a right pleural empyema. After pleural drainage and an antibiotic regimen, he was discharged from the hospital with further improvement. A follow-up CT pulmonary angiography performed three months after lobectomy revealed thrombosis in the right lower lobar pulmonary artery stump. The patient had no symptoms. The attending physician decided to use anticoagulants. Consequently, the patient received low molecular-weight heparin subcutaneously for one month and a non-vitamin-K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC) for the following 5 months. A CT scan performed after 3 months of anticoagulation showed complete resolution of stump thrombosis. Subsequent examinations showed no recurrence of either lung cancer or artery stump thrombosis and no anticoagulant-related bleeding. Discussion: Pulmonary artery stump thrombosis can develop after lung cancer surgery. This complication is uncommon and the prognosis is favorable in most treated cases. However, thrombosis may progress, and pulmonary embolism or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension may develop. Decisions about instituting anticoagulation therapy and its duration are made on an individual basis after considering both the benefits and the potential risks

Wpływ dodatku anionowej emulsji asfaltowej na nasiąkliwość nawierzchni
z betonu wałowanego
Authors: Przybylski Patryk , Wojewódzki Bogdan
Published: April 2021

Beton wałowany to innowacyjna technologia wykonywania nawierzchni betonowych na polskim rynku budowlanym. Technologia ta niesie ze sobą wiele korzyści dla drogownictwa oraz daje szerokie pole badawcze. Głównym celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza i ocena zmian wartości nasiąkliwości betonu wałowanego modyfikowanego anionową emulsją asfaltową.
Trwałość nawierzchni z betonów cementowych w określonych warunkach użytkowania (klasach ekspozycji) zależy głównie od odporności zastosowanego betonu na agresywne oddziaływania środowiskowe. Porowata struktura betonu sprzyja penetracji wody oraz szkodliwych substancji i sprawia, że w miarę upływu czasu zauważa się coraz wyraźniejsze oznaki destrukcji. Badania potwierdzają, że modyfikacja mikrostruktury betonu wałowanego anionową emulsją asfaltową stanowi skuteczną ochronę materiałowo-strukturalną. Uzyskany w wyniku zastosowanej domieszki układ struktury porowatości pozwala osiągnąć mniejszą nasiąkliwość. W celu potwierdzenia tych założeń wykonano badania mieszanki betonu wałowanego modyfikowanej anionową emulsją asfaltową oraz dokonano porównania właściwości tego betonu ze standardowym betonem wałowanym.

– propozycja polskiej terminologii BIM
Authors: Magiera Jacek , Wala Kamil , Czaplejewicz Anna
Published: April 2021

Standaryzacja procesów informacyjnych BIM jest istotnym elementem sukcesu wdrażania metodyki BIM poziomu dojrzałości
2 w projektach inwestycyjnych na całym świecie. W roku 2018 międzynarodowa organizacja standaryzacji ISO opublikowała długo oczekiwany międzynarodowy standard procesów informacyjnych BIM znany jako norma ISO 19650, a dokładniej dwie pierwsze normy z tej serii, czyli ISO 19650-1 i ISO 19650-2. Polski Komitet Normalizacji wydał je w styczniu
oraz lutym 2019 roku jako PN-EN ISO 19650-1 i PN-EN ISO 19650-2, jednak bez tłumaczenia na język polski treści normy. Ponieważ aplikacja procesów BIM w krajowych projektach inwestycyjnych na podstawie anglojęzycznej wersji normy jest utrudniona przez jej hermetyczne słownictwo, łączące terminologię z obszaru prawa, techniki budowlanej, technologii informatycznych oraz metod zarządzania pochodzących z obcych systemów prawnych, uregulowań branżowych, a nawet zasad zwyczajowych dla środowisk zawodowych z obszaru budownictwa, głównie z Wielkiej Brytanii, niniejszy artykuł jest propozycją polskiego tłumaczenia terminologii normy ISO 19650 dostosowanego do realiów krajowych procesów inwestycyjnych. Celem tej propozycji jest z jednej strony wsparcie osób czynnie zaangażowanych w przygotowanie i realizację projektów BIM na krajowym rynku budowlanym,
a z drugiej animowanie dyskusji nad wypracowaniem oraz ustabilizowaniem polskiej terminologii norm BIM z serii ISO 19650 i w konsekwencji przygotowanie wysokiej jakości tłumaczenia polskich wersji norm ISO 19650.
A IMPORTÂNCIA DA CIÊNCIA NA EDUCAÇÃO ESCOLAR: REFLEXÕES DA TEORIA HISTÓRICO-CULTURAL E DA PEDAGOGIA HISTÓRICO-CRÍTICA
Authors: Azevedo Chaves Isis , Rossi Rafael
Published: April 2021

This text is an instrument through which we demonstrate the origin, nature and social function of scientific knowledge and its historical importance in school education from the contributions of the marxian ontological perspective, historical-critical pedagogy and historical-cultural theory. The objective is to demonstrate, based on the historical process of human self-construction, the essence of science, as well as the need for more and more school education to defend it. Our intention is to reflect on the constitution and humanizing potential of scientific knowledge in the school environment. We emphasize that these elements are essential for the development of the human psyche and their appropriation requires the teaching, research, teaching and learning task in the school space-time.
Elicitação de Requisitos em Sistemas Críticos de Segurança
Authors: Dal Magro Sthéfanie , Castro Jaelson
Published: April 2021

Contexto: Sistemas Críticos de Segurança (SCSs) são considerados sistemas que caso falhem, podem levar à perda de vida, perdas financeiras e danos ao meio ambiente. A Engenharia de Requisitos é essencial no desenvolvimento destes sistemas, tendo em vista que a utilização de requisitos inadequados ou incompreendidos são reconhecidos como a principal causa de acidentes e catástrofes relacionados com a segurança. Portanto, os requisitos iniciais de segurança dos SCSs devem ser cuidadosamente identificados e adequadamente modelados. No entanto, a literatura apresenta poucas técnicas de elicitação e modelagem de requisitos voltadas para o domínio de SCSs. Objetivo: Esta pesquisa propõe o desenvolvimento de uma técnica para elicitação de requisitos no contexto de sistemas críticos de segurança que posteriormente serão modelados através da notação iStar4Safety. Método: Inicialmente, será realizado um levantamento bibliográfico com objetivo de investigar as técnicas de elicitação de requisitos existentes no domínio dos SCSs. A partir deste levantamento bibliográfico, será proposta uma nova técnica para descoberta de requisitos para Sistemas Críticos de Segurança. Para validar a técnica proposta será realizado um quase-experimento. Resultados esperados: Com este trabalho definiremos uma técnica de elicitação de requisitos para SCSs que permitirá a modelagem dos requisitos de segurança através de uma extensão de segurança da linguagem iStar. Conclusão: Os resultados encontrados irão auxiliar no processo de descoberta e modelagem de requisitos no contexto de sistemas críticos de segurança. Com isso, pretendemos contribuir de maneira positiva no desenvolvimento destes sistemas, buscando mitigar perigos e prevenir acidentes.

Published: April 2021

Organizações que mantêm ecossistemas de software móvel (MSECO), como Apple e Google, têm investido em estratégias de governança a partir de um time de Developer Relations (DevRel). A meta é estabelecer a sinergia entre as expectativas de desenvolvedores externos e os objetivos da organização, visando não incorrer na "morte" do ecossistema. Por meio de estudos secundários (revisões de literatura), estudos primários com 68 profissionais de DevRel e estudos de mineração de repositórios de software, foi desenvolvido um modelo para a governança de desenvolvedores em MSECO a partir de DevRel. Este modelo é chamado DevGo (DEVeloper GOvernance), formado por elementos como: áreas de foco, fases, estágios, facilitadores e objetos de transferência de valor. DevGo pode, também, ser apoio às organizações na evolução das estratégias de governança do desenvolvedor, dimensionar esforços e formar equipes internas.
Analisando Estratégias para Identificação de Dívidas Técnicas
Authors: Oliveira Isabela , Marques-Neto Humberto T. , Xavier Laerte
Published: April 2021

Dívidas técnicas são uma constante no desenvolvimento de software. Para lidar com a pressão de entregas rápidas, desenvolvedores constantemente comprometem a qualidade do sistema entregue, postergando seu pagamento para fases posteriores. Com o objetivo de reduzir seus efeitos negativos, diversas soluções são propostas na literatura para identificação, gerenciamento e pagamento destas dívidas. Dentre elas, destacam-se as abordagens baseadas em análise estática (code smells), ou em comentários de código (self-admitted technical debt, ou SATD). Entretanto, ainda não está clara a real interseção entre tais abordagens, tampouco as características das dívidas melhor identificadas por cada uma delas. Neste trabalho, realizou-se uma comparação entre ambas abordagens através da aplicação das ferramentas SonarQube e SATDDetector num conjunto composto por 1.000 repositórios populares do GitHub. Como resultado, verificou-se que a interseção entre elas é de aproximadamente 19%, e que, em 7%, dos casos o SonarQube não é capaz de identificar SATDs. Ademais, as dívidas identificadas por ambas abordagens estão relacionadas à arquivos maiores (em termos de linhas de código), mais complexos (complexidade ciclomática e cognitiva) e com mais code smells.
Grundrechtskollisionsrecht für grenzüberschreitende Sachverhalte
Authors: Hullmeine Daisy
Published: April 2021

According to article 1 paragraph 3 GG, state power is bound to fundamental rights. It is undisputed that this applies to the actions of German state authority within the borders of the Federal Republic of Germany without any foreign involvement. In the case of cross-border situations, i.e. situations that have a foreign element, the question arises as to how far the protection of fundamental rights extends and what effects a foreign legal system has on it.

This thesis is dedicated to the clarification of the scope of application of fundamental rights for these constellations. In this context, a fundamental rights conflict of laws is outlined, which is intended to resolve any collisions between German and foreign fundamental or human rights.
Der Schutz älterer Menschen durch das Strafrecht
Authors: Weiss-Brummer Stephanie
Published: April 2021

Despite the demographic change of our society, elderly people as victims of crime are still a group little noticed within the context of crime research. Therefore, this thesis deals with the victimization of the elderly and their protection by German criminal law. To this end, firstly the current state of empirical-criminological research with regard to elderly victims is elucidated to clarify fundamental questions: Is there a European and constitutional legal framework for a special protection of this group under German criminal law? Is such protection compatible with criminal law principles? On this foundation, the author then discusses the quality of protection of elderly victims.

An Updated Review on Memantine Efficacy in Reducing Cognitive Dysfunction of Whole-brain Irradiation for Adult Patients with Brain metastasis
Authors: Jafari Anya , Siavashpour Zahra , Houshyari Mohammad
Published: April 2021

Context: Increased survival of patients with cancer raises the need to pay attention to long-term side effects. Patients with brain metastasis experienced cognition failure after whole-brain radiotherapy. This review aimed at concluding the efficacy of Memantine in preserving cognitive function by reducing the brain toxicity of whole-brain radiotherapy for metastatic brain cancers. Evidence Acquisition: Published studies evaluating memantine protective effects during brain metastasis radiotherapy were searched for in scientific databases (e.g., Embase, PubMed, Cochrane database, Google Scholar, Scopus) using keywords including whole-brain radiotherapy and Memantine. Results: A total of 4 prospective clinical trials were included in the review. Effects of Memantine on cognition tests were evaluated in these trials. A significantly better Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R) delayed recognition at months 6 was achieved in RTOG 0614 and NRG CC001. Longer time to cognitive decline was found in the memantine arm of the RTOG trial and was statistically significant. Memantine effects were not statistically significant before 2 months. Conclusions: It seems reasonable to consider Memantine during radiation to prevent long-term cognitive failure in patients with brain metastasis due to the current results. Memantine improves cognition function during whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) without adding irreparable complications.

Background: Cognitive-attentional syndrome (CAS) is one of the primary constructs of depression, the treatment of which is highly challenging because of its high prevalence and the emergence of symptoms such as feelings of sadness, emptiness, and hopelessness. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of behavioral activation (BA) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in CAS in patients with depression. Methods: This quasi-experimental research utilized a pretest, posttest, and two-month follow-up design with a control group. The study population comprised 260 patients with a diagnosis of depression who referred to the psychological centers of Ahvaz in 2019. The sample consisted of 45 patients with depression selected by convenience sampling. We randomly divided the participants into two experimental groups (BA and ACT) and a control group (n = 15 per group). The research instrument included the cognitive-attentional syndrome (CAS-1) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 24.0 with descriptive and inferential statistics, such as mean, standard deviation, and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). Results: In terms of CAS and its components, there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the posttest and follow-up phases (P = 0.0001). Besides, ACT and BA significantly reduced CAS and its components in the posttest phase (P = 0.0001). However, the effectiveness of BA in decreasing CAS and its components remained during the follow-up phase. Furthermore, the results showed that ACT was more effective in reducing attention to threat and metacognitive beliefs during the posttest phase. Conclusions: According to research findings, both BA and ACT are efficient therapies in reducing CAS in patients with depression. Thus, both approaches can be used to strengthen treatment interventions to reduce CAS in patients with depression.
