A rare case of inclusion body fibromatosis
Authors: Reji Maria , Thomas Sonia Mary , Jessy M M
Published: March 2023

Infantile digital fibromatosis is a marked fibrous proliferation of infancy characterized by occurrence in the fingers and toes and a marked tendency for local recurrence. It accounts for 0.2% of registered soft tissue tumors. The lesion rarely exceeds 2 cm and tends to regress spontaneously. The presence of characteristic inclusion bodies in the cytoplasm of neoplastic fibroblasts distinguishes it from other fibromatosis. Current treatment recommendations include function-preserving excision and intralesional steroid injections for symptomatic lesions. Although lesions recur more than 60% of the time after excision, the ultimate prognosis is excellent.

Authors: Ostetto Michelle Cianci , Watanabe Melissa
Published: March 2023

Este caso para ensino apresenta a história da Fina Camisarias, uma empresa fundada pela família Castro composta por uma fábrica de roupas populares e uma grande loja de varejo. A empresa e a loja possuem um modelo de gestão baseado em competências e em 2022 passarão por sua primeira mudança de gestor, pois o fundador-presidente deseja se aposentar e escolherá seu sucessor. Na empresa existem quatro perfis que apresentam excelentes resultados, e a possibilidade de contratar um CEO, uma pessoa externa com ótimas recomendações. Diante deste cenário apresenta-se aos estudantes o seguinte dilema: Qual o melhor perfil para ocupar as funções de presidente? A exposição do problema sinaliza o objetivo do caso, que é analisar o processo de tomada de decisão, as vantagens e desvantagens ao escolher um determinado perfil para a presidência da empresa. Intenciona-se estimular debates referentes à gestão por competências, gestão de pessoas e recursos humanos (RH) que podem ser relacionados aos cursos de graduação e pós-graduação em Administração e RH. Espera-se que após as discussões os alunos sejam capazes de analisar mapas de competências para funções e, a partir dele, elaborar possíveis cenários que a empresa poderia adotar, considerando as vantagens e desvantagens de cada perfil.
Um patrimônio esmaecido: a produção açucareira, o Beco do Caminho Curto e a presença quilombola em Joinville (SC)
Authors: Corrêa Andrew Bernardo , Meira Roberta Barros
Published: March 2023

A presença da população negra escravizada e livre, e seus descendentes, é marcada por um forte silenciamento na historiografia oficial de Joinville (SC). A história da cidade muitas vezes é caracterizada por um discurso que privilegia a presença dos colonos europeus que se estabeleceram na região após a criação da Colônia Dona Francisca, em 1851. O artigo busca analisar a história dessas populações e o seu apagamento, considerando o contexto social, econômico e político que envolveu diversos atores. São discutidas novas abordagens sobre a história de Joinville que abarquem a escravidão, a produção açucareira e a posse da terra.

Published: March 2023

O presente artigo apresenta alguns resultados preliminares do estudo em andamento sobre os impactos da quarentena no setor cultural do município de Canoas (RS), causada pela pandemia do novo coronavírus (covid-19), o qual vem sendo realizado por um grupo de trabalho composto por pesquisadores do Sesc Canoas, da Universidade LaSalle e do Conselho Municipal de Políticas Culturais de Canoas. Trata-se de estudo exploratório e descritivo, cujos procedimentos metodológicos para a produção dos dados incluem a pesquisa documental e a aplicação de questionários eletrônicos estruturados, no período de abril a setembro de 2020, tendo como respondentes diversos agentes da cadeia produtiva da cultura da cidade. A interpretação e análise dos dados vêm sendo realizadas a partir da estatística aplicada. Em estudos realizados em diversos locais do país pode-se constatar que o setor cultural já vinha sofrendo constantes reduções orçamentárias desde o final de 2018. No que se refere a Canoas, os resultados preliminares demonstram que a pandemia agravou fortemente este cenário, considerando-se que 47% dos respondentes da pesquisa exercem atividades profissionais exclusivamente na área cultural, representando mais de 75% de sua remuneração total, além do que 62,9% dos pesquisados tiveram seus contratos totalmente canceladas ao longo de 2020.

Authors: Albuquerque Rodrigues Gerlane Pereira de , Guimarães Júnior Djalma Silva
Published: March 2023

Este artigo trata de uma revisão sistemática da literatura referente a adoção de tecnologias digitais e inovação de processos, cujo objetivo é investigar a ocorrência de transformação digital em pequenos negócios, acelerada a partir das restrições trazidas à atividade econômica pela pandemia da Covid19.  O levantamento dos artigos foi realizado em três bases de dados: Web of Science, Google Acadêmico e Scopus. Identificou-se uma significativa presença de estudos exploratórios e grande quantidade de pesquisas que evidenciam a presença da transformação nas empresas e no comportamento dos consumidores, porém, ainda é pequena a quantidade de estudos que investigam esta transformação digital nos pequenos negócios. A pesquisa conseguiu identificar evidências de incipiente transformação digital nos artigos selecionados. De forma empírica, sem o adequado planejamento, as mudanças na comercialização dos produtos através das redes sociais e aplicativos de mensagens possibilitaram a sobrevivência dos pequenos negócios com o surgimento da pandemia. Por esta razão, propõe-se a continuidade dos estudos, tendo como foco, a digitalização nos pequenos negócios impulsionada pela pandemia.

Published: March 2023

O mundo dos negócios em constante mudança afeta as organizações, que também necessitam se adaptar para sobreviver em mercados de concorrência acirrada. Muitos esforços de mudança organizacional são ineficazes porque não são planejados a partir de informações relevantes para tomadas de decisão necessárias à superação de resistências à mudança e à superação de problemas. O diagnóstico é um método utilizado para analisar a organização e identificar suas lacunas de operação e resultados para que sejam neutralizadas por mudanças planejadas. Esta pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa, propõe um framework para diagnóstico organizacional que pode ser utilizado em projetos de consultoria de gestão da mudança. O framework proposto foi desenvolvido a partir da revisão narrativa da literatura sobre aspectos relevantes que são diagnosticados em modelos de excelência da gestão, subsidiando o trabalho de consultores e o aprendizado dos executivos envolvidos na mudança. A principal contribuição desta pesquisa é de natureza teórico-gerencial e trata da identificação dos fatores de diagnóstico que podem interferir na realização da mudança proposta, os quais devem ser analisados para embasar recomendações em projetos de consultoria. Como sugestões de estudos futuros indica-se a operacionalização do framework proposto em um modelo e sua aplicação às organizações em projetos de consultoria organizacional.
Negociação em Open Innovation: qual o poder das startups?
Authors: Melo Jian Carlos de , Dias Julio , Sell Denilson
Published: March 2023

As relações comerciais em programas de inovação aberta atingiram um patamar, até então, nunca visto, em que o crescimento das negociações dos últimos anos prediz os anos que estão por vir. Segundo o estudo “O Momento da Startup Brasileira e o Futuro do Ecossistema de Inovação” (ABSTARTUPS, 2018), 77% das startups brasileiras possuem o modelo de negócios Business to Business (B2B), relacionando-se diretamente com outras corporações. Mas com tamanho crescimento exponencial, como garantir uma negociação justa entre startups e corporações? Nessa ótica, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o poder de negociação das startups em programas de inovação aberta, correlacionando os fatores indicados na literatura com os resultados encontrados nas entrevistas com os fundadores das startups. Os procedimentos metodológicos envolveram uma pesquisa exploratória no que tange o ecossistema da inovação aberta, a partir do poder de negociação das startups, assim como uma revisão da literatura, análise documental e entrevistas não estruturadas. Concluiu-se, a partir das entrevistas, que as relações de negociação são pautadas na confiança e maturidade, criado um viés de ganha-ganha entre ambos e que o poder de negociação é limitado aos elementos pouco explorados na literatura condizente a startups, e para o EPPPC (Escopo, Prazo, Propriedade Intelectual, Preço, Condição de Pagamento), a startup segue as políticas e diretrizes da corporação contratante.
EDUCATING PUPILS IN SOFT SKILLS

In education, the emphasis has been primarily on pupils' knowledge and skills. These were and even nowadays are considered crucial for a person's further application in life. In the literature, they are described as 'hard skills'. However, in view of the changing world, the manifestations and demands of social and working life, in which people enter into many contacts with each other, the demands of the times, which require not only knowledge but also social, communicative and other skills, it is necessary to pay attention to these aspects alongside knowledge and to prepare the growing generation for these new requirements. These are described as "soft skills". The paper describes them and also outlines ways to develop them.
Timosaponin AIII attenuates precocious puberty in mice through downregulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis

Published: March 2023

Precocious puberty (PP) has increasingly become a social concern. This study aimed to investigate the effect of timosaponin AIII (TAIII) on the precocious puberty and its possible mechanisms in mice. Four groups of mice consisting of controls that received saline or TAIII, a model that received leptin to induce precocious puberty (PP), and leptin+TAIII (the leptin model treated with TAIII) were used to determine the effect of TAIII on PP. Pathological and cytological examinations were conducted to investigate the signs and onset of PP and the development of reproductive organs. The level of serum luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol (E2) were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expression of genes related to the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (HPGA) was assessed using qRT-PCR and Western blotting. Bone mineral density (BMD) was determined using high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography. In mice treated with leptin, earlier vaginal opening and estrus were observed, as well as the increased ovarian and uterine weight, total uterine cross-sectional size, number of corpora lutea, and elevated serum sex hormone levels and HPGA expression. On the other hand, TAIII treatment delayed the vaginal opening and vaginal estrus to 32.1 and 37.5 days after birth, and delayed the development of reproductive organs, leading to significantly smaller uterus and ovary size, less corpora lutea and low BMD (P<0.05). In addition, the serum levels of LH, FSH and E2 were significantly reduced (P<0.05) and so was the expression of HPGA and leptin genes (P<0.05). Our experimental data demonstrated that TAIII has activity against leptin-induced PP activity and may attenuate PP by reducing reproductive hormones and deactivating the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis through downregulating leptin expression.

Published: March 2023

Sklerozan stromal tümörler (STT), genellikle yaşamın 2-3. dekadında genç kadınlarda görülen nadir benign over tümörleridir. Over stromal tümörlerinin %2-6’sını oluştururlar. Çalışmamızda, İzmir Tepecik Eğitim ve Araştırma hastanesi patoloji bölümünde 2011-2020 yılları arasında tanı alan 7 sklerozan stromal tümör olgusunu, klinik ve histopatolojik bulgularını tekrar gözden geçirerek literatür eşliğinde sunduk .

Hastalarımızın yaş ortalaması 34.4 olup 2 hasta postmenopozal dönemdeydi. Olguların 4’ünün klinik takibi mevcut olup 1 hastada operasyondan 7 yıl sonra nüks görüldü. Makroskopik olarak tümörlerin çoğu tamamıyla solid görünümdeydi. Mikroskopik olarak tüm olgularda ödemli ve /veya kollojenden zengin hiposellüler alanlarla ayrılan hipersellüler alanlardan oluşan psödolobüler düzenlenim mevcuttu. Tümör, iğsi şekilli hücreler ve bol berrak – eozinofilik şekilli yuvarlak hücrelerden oluşuyordu.

Çok nadir görülmeleri nedeniyle SST de preoperatif tanı mümkün değildir. Özellikle frozen çalışılan olgularda tipik histopatolojik bulgularla doğru tanı konulması, genç kadın hastalarda fertilite koruyucu cerrahinin uygulanabilmesi açısından önem taşır.

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, sünnet sonrasında çocuklarda duygusal stres yaşama durumlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Materyal ve Metot: Araştırma tanımlayıcı, bir araştırma olarak tasarlanmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında klinikte sünnet olan ve araştırmaya dahil edilme kriterlerini sağlayan çocukların ebeveynlerine, sünnettin üzerinden 1 ay geçmiş olan ebeveynlere online olarak hazırlanmış olan anket formu gönderilerek çalışmaya katılmaya davet edilmiştir. Araştırma Ekim 2021- Şubat 2022 tarihleri arasında yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya 228 gönüllü ebeveyn katılmıştır. Araştırmanın verilerinin toplanmasında çocuk ebeveyn tanıtım bilgi formu ve Çocukluk Çağı Travma Sonrası Duygusal Stres Ölçeği (ÇÇTSDSÖ) kullanılmıştır.

Bulgular: Çocukların %93,90’unun sünnet olması için tıbbı bir gereklilik olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Sünnet sonrası en sık yaşanan fiziksel semptomların ağrı (% 86,0), yara yerinde şişme (% 63, 60) olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada ÇÇTSDSÖ puan ortalaması … bulunmuştur. Sünnet sonrası ağrı, kanama ve şişme semptomları yaşayan çocukların ÇÇTSDSÖ puanları semptom yaşamayan çocuklardan yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir (p=0,022; p=0,002; p=0,030). Çalışmada sünnet öncesi işleme hazırlanan, sünnetten önce ve sünnet günün doktoru ve hemşiresi ile tanıştırılan çocukların ÇÇTSDSÖ puanları diğer gruplardaki çocuklardan anlamlı şekilde düşük olduğu saptanmıştır (p=0, 009; p=0,013; p=0,029).

Sonuç: Sünnet kültürel, dini ve tıbbı yönleri olan çok boyutlu bir olgudur. Bu nedenle sünnetin etkileri değerlendirilirken toplumsal özellikleri göz ardı etmemek gerekir. Çalışmamızda çocukların sünnet sonrası duygusal stres yaşama durumlarının yüksek olmadığı belirlenmiştir.

Efficacy of Intravenous Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen on Postoperative Pain and Tramadol Consumption in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Prospective, Randomized, Double-blinded Clinical Trial
Authors: ERSOY Zeynep , ARAZ Çoşkun
Published: March 2023

Background: Many techniques, including multimodal analgesia, have been used to manage postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Although the number of studies using intravenous ibuprofen (IV) is still limited, ibuprofen has been shown to have a potential role in managing postoperative pain. The primary outcome of this study is to evaluate and compare the impact of IV forms of ibuprofen and acetaminophen on 24-hour postoperative opioid consumption and pain management in patients undergoing LC. The second outcome of the study is to evaluate the impact of ibuprofen and acetaminophen on opioid-related adverse events (ORAE).

Materials and Methods: This study was a prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial. Following ethical committee approval, 70 patients aged 18 to 65, American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) score I- II, and those scheduled for LC were enrolled in the study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. The control group (n=35) received 800 mg IV ibuprofen (group I) in 100 mL saline during surgery, while the acetaminophen group (n=35) received 1000 mg (group A). In the postoperative period, all patients received a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) device with tramadol. The PCA device was set to a bolus dose of 10 mg and had a lockout time of 15 minutes. A blinded pain nurse assessed postoperative analgesia at 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours using a numerical rating scale (NRS). The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), total tramadol consumption, and the need for additional analgesics during the 24-hour postoperative period were recorded.

Results: Seventy patients who underwent LC participated in this study. The use of analgesic medications was statistically lower in group I than in the other group A. NRS scores between the IV ibuprofen and acetaminophen groups were statistically similar at 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively (P>0.05). 24-hour opioid consumption was statistically significantly higher in group A than in group I (P0.05). PONV rates were similar in the ibuprofen and acetaminophen groups (P>0.05). ORAEs were similar between groups.

Conclusion: Ibuprofen as part of tramadol-based multimodal analgesia reduced tramadol consumption compared to acetaminophen during the first 24 hours postoperatively following elective LC surgery. The IV ibuprofen-tramadol combination appeared superior to an acetaminophen-tramadol combination. ORAEs were similar in both groups.
Pulmonary Parasitic Embolization Caused by Micro Ruptured Hydatid Cyst: An Autopsy Case
Authors: ATA Uğur , ÇAĞLAYAN Derya , ÇELİK Cemil , KARTAL Erhan , AKÇAY Arzu
Published: March 2023

Echinococcosis generally remains asymptomatic for many years, but it can also be fatal if complications like cyst rupture or superinfection occur. It is highly uncommon for a macroscopically non-ruptured cyst to cause death, and its exact mechanism is unknown. In the literature, there are several cases with identical characteristics diagnosed by autopsy. This autopsy case has illustrated the death due to a micro ruptured hydatid cyst. The deceased's lung underwent microscopic inspection, and it revealed broad intraalveolar hemorrhage, edema, severe hyperemia, neutrophil stasis in the interstitial capillary lumens, and a large number of parasites in the capillary lumen. Anaphylaxis against cyst contents that leaked into the bloodstream from liver cysts and non-thrombotic pulmonary embolization were shown to be the causes of mortality. In countries where echinococcosis is endemic, echinococcosis should be considered in all cases of anaphylaxis and sudden death.

Napovedovanje obrazov otrok z GAN metodo
Authors: Šuklje Nejc , Šajn Luka
Published: March 2023

Naslov "Napovedovanje slik otrok obrazov z GAN metodo" je že na prvi pogled vzbudil motivacijo, ker je potencialni rezultat zanimiv. GAN metoda je tudi dokaj novo področje, kar vse skupaj naredi še bolj zanimivo, saj ni veliko raziskav, v katerih je bila uporabljena. Na problem smo pogledali tudi s strani "uporabnika", torej nekoga, ki bi rad videl sliko svojega potencialnega otroka. Iz tega sklepamo, da bi končna rešitev na trgu doživela zanimanje, še posebej v bogatejšem sloju prebivalstva. Raziskav na to temo je bolj malo, vendar dovolj za osnovo pri izdelavi naloge. Cilj naloge je bil dobiti sliko obraza otroka na osnovi izgleda njegovih staršev.

Published: March 2023

Zasnova čitalnikov prstnih odtisov, ki se vgrajujejo in uporabljajo v zasebnih objektih (hiše in stanovanja) ima svojo specifiko predvsem v tem, da je potrebno upoštevati različne navade uporabnikov, starostne skupine uporabnikov, izpostavljenost vremenskim vplivom ter zahteve proizvajalcev vhodnih vrat glede načina vgradnje. S pravilnim informiranjem vseh deležnikov v procesu od proizvodnje vrat do končnega uporabnika, ter s pravimi nastavitvami algoritma, ki obdeluje zajete biometrične podatke, lahko zagotovimo tudi več kot 95 % uspešnih transakcij. Daleč največji izziv nam je predstavljalo informiranje in izobrazba uporabnikov, še posebej preden se je tovrstna tehnologija začela bolj množično pojavljati v mobilni telefoniji. Tako kot se je to zgodilo v mobilni telefoniji, postaja dandanes odklepanje vhodnih vrat s pomočjo biometrične prepoznave standard.

Published: March 2023

Defining the borders of agricultural fields is fundamental for precision agriculture and one of the key parts of the new European Agricultural Policy. The agricultural fields’ boundaries are basic building blocks for monitoring agricultural land in the context of climate change, food production and security. The aim of the field delineation process is to automatically determine the borders of agricultural fields from satellite images. It is based on the similarity of spatial, spectral, and temporal properties of pixels belonging to the same field. The basic method was developed within the NIVA project on data from the Sentinel-2 satellite constellation of the European Space Agency. The u-net based deep neural network predicts three image variables from the satellite image: the segmentation of the field, its boundary, and the distance of the segmented image points to the boundary. From these an image of the boundaries of the fields is constructed, either from a single image or from a time series of images. In the post-processing phase, the image prediction is transformed into vector format, which represents the result of the field delineation process.

Različne vrste volkcev lijakarjev lahko gradijo različno oblikovane pasti. V raziskavi Devetak in sodelavci (2020) smo proučevali povezavo med geometrijo pasti in lastnostmi peščenega substrata. Pasti smo 3D skenirali z laserskim čitalnikom in izdelali 3D modele pasti, ki smo jih uporabili za opis oblike z meritvami kotov in za analizo variabilnosti pasti z metodami geometrijske morfometrije. Ugotovili smo, da substrat z manjšo granulacijo ali večjim deležem finega peska omogoča gradnjo kompleksnejših pasti s strmejšimi stenami, saj ima višji maksimalni kot stabilnosti. Oblika pasti je torej odvisna od strukture substrata in v heterogenem habitatu omogoča sobivanje različnih vrst volkcev z različnimi preferencami glede substrata.

Kültürel aracılar kültürel üretim ve tüketim pratikleri arasında eşik bekçiliği yaparken, kendilerini kültürel otorite olarak konumlandırarak, sembolik sermayelerini izlerkitleye meşru beğeni olarak aktarırlar. Pierre Bourdieu’nun tarif ettiği bu kavram müzik endüstrisi özelinde yapımcıları ve menajerleri işaret eder. Müzik endüstrinin platform ekonomisiyle birlikte geçirdiği dönüşümle birlikte, platform sahiplerinin atadığı kürasyon gücüyle insan olmayan maddi aktörler (algoritmalar) yeni aracı rolünü üstlenmektedir. Bu çalışmada müzik endüstrisinde platformlaşmaya koşut olarak kültürel aracılık olgusunun nasıl değiştiği, Türkiye’de müzik endüstrisinin farklı aktörlerinin bu değişime karşı yaklaşımları üç tema ekseninde tartışılmaktadır: Üretim ilişkilerindeki dönüşüm, eserlerin türsel/biçimsel dönüşümü, bağımsız sanatçıların var olma stratejileri. Bu kapsamda Kasım 2021 ve Haziran 2022 arasında nitel araştırma tekniklerine dayalı bir saha araştırması yürütülmüş, endüstrisinin farklı aktörlerinin katılımıyla 4 odak grup ve 31 derinlemesine görüşme gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın bulguları, Türkiye’de müzik endüstrisinin farklı aktörlerinin platform ekonomisinin gücünü oluşturan yeni kültürel aracılar olarak algoritmik kürasyonun işleme mantığının farkında olduğunu, platform ekonomisinin yine büyük müzik şirketleri ve repertuvarları güçlü sanatçılar lehine işlediğini, algoritmaların kara kutular olarak işlemesinin bağımsız ve alternatif sanatçılar aleyhine şekillendiğini, bağımsız sanatçıların algoritmik beğeninin şekillenmesi sürecinde dijital iş modellerine uyumlanmaya, dijital beceriler kazanmaya çalıştıklarını göstermiştir. Ancak, araştırmanın katılımcıları platform kapitalizminin eşitsizlik üreten bu yapısını veya teknoloji şirketlerinin varlığını sorunsallaştırmamaktadır.

Researchers have come up with varying opinions on the impact of fiscal policy tools on the economic growth of many nations. While some are of the view that fiscal policy tools have positive relationship with economic growth, others posit that it has a negative impact while a third group are of the opinion that its impact could either be positive or negative depending on how it is harnessed with other macro-economic variables and yet a fourth school of thought has emerged. They are of the opinion that fiscal policy tools could have a little but not significant impact on the economic growth of any given nation. Thus this study is set to lend its voice and opinion on this discuss with emphasis on the Nigerian economy using a time series data for the period 1999-2020. The data were analyzed using Ordinary Least Square method and a Vector Auto regression Analysis. In the model, Real GDP (taken as dependent variable) was regressed on tax revenues, capital and recurrent expenditures. Other independent variables include deficit financing, external and domestic debts. Findings of study indicate that in the short run, deficit financing, domestic debt and recurrent expenditures all had significant positive relationship with economic growth in Nigeria; while there exists a significant negative relationship between external debts and real GDP. Capital expenditure and tax revenues did not have a significant relationship with economic growth in Nigeria in the short run. In the long run, the earlier outcomes fizzled out as only the lagged value of RGDP, taken as an explanatory variable was found to be positively significant. From the foregoing analysis, it was established that fiscal policy tools did not sustain a significant relationship with economic growth in Nigeria in the long run, thus pitching our tent with the fourth school of thought. Fiscal policy tools are not enough to pilot the economic ship of Nigeria. The study therefore recommends that government should use fiscal policy instruments to complement its sister strategy – the monetary policy tools to promote stability in the Nigerian economy. A good mix of fiscal and monetary policy tools could help in the formulation and implementation of sound economic policies; the impact of which will be appreciated from the standpoint of how rapidly and effectively it fosters, innovates or facilitates economic growth in Nigeria.
Saving the World Through Technology: The Aspect of E-Learning in Education
Authors: Mehdi Momeena
Published: March 2023

Introduction and Purpose of the Study – Our present world is characterized by the empowering revolution of technology. The dominance of IT in the 21st century is eminent. Humans are exposed to external threats like the Covid-19 pandemic, which has caused an unprecedented shift to technology. While our developed systems are disturbed in the wake of this crisis, emphasis is placed on reliance on technological power rather than human capacity. This research aims to uncover how major sectors like education are relying on technology to function. E-learning is fighting the odds in a time of distrust and uncertainty. The research strategies used are: 1) a quantitative analysis of affected students (internationally), and 2) a qualitative analysis of papers on the role of technology in education and crisis management. Data has been collected from first-hand survey responses from students and supporting secondary sources. The findings support our given stance on technology’s savior role in current times, as a crisis management approach. Evidence proves that the majority of higher educational institutions adopt e-learning methods. There are implications for the quality and means of this approach, which need to be addressed in future stages of advancement.
Beyond Atmospheric Oxygen and Pulmonary Alveoli, where does the Oxygen we have Inside the Human Body come from? the Unexpected Intrinsic Property of Melanin to Dissociate the Water Molecule
Authors: Solís Herrera Arturo , Arias Esparza María del Carmen , Solís Arias Paola Eugenia
Published: March 2023

The teaching of the medical career is based on dogmas, as in religions. It is a dogma very rooted the wrong belief that our body obtains the oxygen it contains from the air we breathe. Plants, which do not absorb atmospheric oxygen, expel it but they obtain it from the dissociation of the water molecule through chlorophyll. It is another false belief that the oxygen that plants expel, they do it for the benefit of the animal kingdom, because supposedly said oxygen is absorbed through the pulmonary alveoli into the bloodstream, to distribute it to the cells of the organism, which use it to generate energy by combining it with glucose, something like controlled combustion. However, 95% of biochemical reactions that try to concatenate the combination of this atmospheric oxygen with glucose and the energy our body requires are theoretical. It is not possible to consistently explain that the human body consumes and recycles about 150 kg of ATP daily.

Published: March 2023

This is a descriptive research based on a systematic review of previously published articles in order to examine the relationship between nutrition and the progression of myopia in children. The literature encompasses the published articles from 2015 to 2022 examined the exclusive role of various nutritional factors influencing myopia progression. The deficiencies and supplement administration are also taken into consideration while selecting the influencing variables during the progression of the disease. These include primarily Vitamin A, and D, Zinc deficiencies, administration of dietary supplements, and healthcare behavioral change studies in particular. The extensive literature review agrees with the findings of most of the research and clinical studies done previously as there are no significant, proven connection between nutrition and myopia progression.

Trata-se de investigação de cunho empírico sobre a valoração pelo Superior Tribunal de Justiça dos danos extrapatrimoniais quanto às lesões praticadas por veículos de comunicação. Foram consideradas decisões tomadas a partir de 2004, ano em que foi editada a Súmula n. 281 daquela Corte, sepultando o sistema de tarifação da Lei de Imprensa (n. 5.250/1967), adotando a partir de então o arbitramento judicial caso-a-caso. Foram analisados os benefícios do sistema judicial de fixação dos danos morais, chamado bifásico. Como resultado, constatou-se que, dentre os parâmetros utilizados na pesquisa, não há uniformização da jurisprudência, com forte variação no arbitramento dos valores reparatórios.

Introduction: Personality type and self-control are internal factors that can determine the behaviour of adolescents, one of which is cyberbullying. Personality determines the nature of adolescents, and self-control is the control of adolescents in holding back their responses and emotions to show behaviour. This study aimed to determine the relationship between personality type and self-control with cyberbullying behaviour in adolescents at Y High School Banyuwangi Regency.Methods: The research method used is quantitative with a cross-sectional approach design. This study was conducted on 196 adolescents using a purposive sampling technique with several inclusion criteria: active students aged 15 to 17 years, users of smartphones, email, and social media. The data were collected by using several measuring instruments: the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) with a reliability test value of α = 0.762, the Brief Self Control Scale with a reliability test value using a T-test with r = 0.18, and the Cyber Aggressore Scale (CYB-AGS) with reliability test value α = 0.867. Logistic regression statistical tests analyzed the data. Results: This study revealed no relationship between personality type and cyberbullying behavior with p-value = 0.573 and a relationship between self-control and cyberbullying behaviour with p-value <0.001.Conclusions: There is no relationship between personality type and cyberbullying behaviour, and there is a relationship between self-control and cyberbullying behaviour at Y High School Banyuwangi Regency. Keywords: cyberbullying; personality type; self-control

Published: March 2023

Aim: To describe demographic, clinical, and outcome differences in Pacific Island-born (PI-born) compared to US-born hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients of Pacific Island ancestry within a clinical cohort in Hawaii. Methods: A prospectively collected database of 1608 patients diagnosed with HCC over a 30-year period (1993-2022) identified 252 patients of Pacific Islander ethnicity. Data collected: demographics, medical history, laboratory data, tumor characteristics, treatment, and survival. Patients were divided into two groups: PI-born and US-born. Categorical variables were analyzed using ANOVA and chi-square analysis. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Overall survival was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results: PI-born patients were younger (57.3 vs. 61.8 years, P = 0.002) and more likely to have hepatitis B (OR 14.10, 7.50-26.50) and underlying cirrhosis (OR 2.28, 1.17-4.45). In comparison, US-born patients had a significantly higher likelihood of Hepatitis C, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis/nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, history of non-HCC cancer, and positive smoking history compared to PI-born patients. PI-born patients were more likely to forego treatment (OR 3.22, 1.77-5.87) and be lost to follow-up (OR 9.21, 1.97-43.03). Both groups were equally likely to have the opportunity for curative surgical treatment (liver resection or transplant). US-born status was associated with higher mortality risk, while transplantation was associated with lower mortality risk. The PI-born cohort demonstrated higher overall survival at 3 and 5 years compared to US-born. Conclusion: HBV remains the primary risk factor for HCC in PI-born patients, whereas HCC in US-born patients is more associated with the adoption of a Westernized lifestyle.
The role of social institutions in community resilience following extreme natural hazard events
Authors: Hassan Emad M. , Mahmoud Hussam , Ellingwood Bruce
Published: March 2023

Social institutions such as hospitals and schools are among the main pillars of community stability. A drop in the functionality of hospitals and schools is likely to have short-term and long-term effects on a community, including a reduction in medical interventions, an increase in unschooled children, and population outmigration in search of essential social services. However, comprehensive community resilience models that consider the role played by social institutions in community stability following natural disasters are scarce at the present time. This paper provides a literature review and critical appraisal of previous studies on the resilience of hospital and school systems and their impact on community well-being. The review encompasses existing resilience models for single hospitals and schools, their role when connected with other hospitals and schools in a network, their reliance on each other as interdependent systems, and their role in community resilience and stability. Different mitigation strategies and policies to enhance hospital and school systems’ resilience after extreme natural hazards are also summarized. The paper concludes with a series of recommendations to improve current models for social institutions, enhance the connection between existing hospital and school resilience models and community resilience frameworks, and develop social stability indices that policymakers can use in preparing and mitigating future extreme events.
