Nauczyciel w czasie edukacji zdalnej w polskich tygodnikach opinii. Analiza dyskursu
Authors: Dobrołowicz Justyna
Published: November 2021

The aim of the research presented in this article is to identify the ways in which theopinion-forming press presents teachers and their remote work with students. I assume thatby constructing press statements: mentioning or concealing certain topics, using specificlinguistic forms – journalists influence what readers think about Polish teachers, how theyevaluate their attitude to work and its effects. The problems raised in the research fall withinthe field of pedeutology – a pedagogical subdiscipline examining the teaching profession.Pedeutology helps to understand the specificity of a teacher’s work, analyses its determinants,creates models of professional competences. I have made the subject of my research thepress discourse understood as a communication activity, as a result of which we learn tothink about the world in a certain way. Although the concept of discourse is currently a usefuland popular research category, it still causes many definition difficulties. I am closest tothe sociological perspective of understanding discourse, according to which discourse hasa specific power to create the world, because it provides its participants with ways ofunderstanding reality. Getting to know the press discourse about teachers is thereforea very important matter, the way of writing about this professional group determines howpeople perceive it and how to behave towards it. The method of analysing the 18 presstexts selected for the study is a critical discourse analysis, which was used to answer thefollowing research question: what linguistic means were used in the discourse on teacher’sremote work and what the effects of this discourse may be. In the analysed texts about distance education, mainly expressions with a clearly negative semantic character are used,which in turn leads to discrediting teachers and shapes the belief about the crisis situationin education.
Increasing Team Effectiveness Through Experiential Team Training: An Explanatory Mixed-Methods Study of First-Year Veterinary Students’ Team Experiences
Authors: Hammond Sarah , Kedrowicz April A.
Published: November 2021

This article explores the impact of experiential team communication training on student team effectiveness. First-year veterinary students were concurrently enrolled in the Group Communication in Veterinary Medicine course and applied their knowledge to their authentic team experiences in the Veterinary Anatomy and Introduction to Clinical Problem Solving courses. All students completed a modified team effectiveness instrument and a team self-reflection at the end of the semester. Results show that students experienced a high level of team effectiveness. Although students experienced challenges with respect to staying on task and distributing roles and responsibilities, team coordination and communication improved over time, due in part to the team activities associated with the team training intervention. This research provides support for the impact of experiential team training to the development of team process skills and team effectiveness.

Authors: Powell Lauren , Reinhard Chelsea L. , Serpell James , Watson Brittany
Published: November 2021

Shelter medicine appears to be popular among prospective veterinarians, but there is a shortage of veterinarians entering the field to fill available positions. The reasons for this discordance are not well understand. This study describes veterinary students’ interest in shelter medicine, their perceptions of common duties, and their perceptions of employment attributes in shelter medicine, compared with those of current veterinarians. The sample included 146 first-year students, 155 final-year students, and 221 veterinarians who self-completed an online survey between September 2020 and March 2021. We found high levels of interest in shelter medicine, with 40% of first- and 43% of final-year students indicating they were likely to consider working in shelter medicine. Outreach clinics (84% of first-year students, 86% of final-year students), access-to-care clinics (82%, 83%), and loan forgiveness programs (75%, 64%) encouraged many veterinary students to consider working in shelter medicine. The risk of compassion fatigue, burnout, and stress (70%, 68%); weekend work (51%, 59%); euthanasia decision making (49%, 47%); euthanasia (43%, 41%); and expected salaries of shelter veterinarians (39%, 37%) acted as deterrents. Kruskal–Wallis H tests revealed students reported more positive ratings than veterinarians for most shelter medicine duties and employment characteristics, with moderate to strong consensus within groups. Little difference appeared between first- and final-year students. This study highlights target areas for animal shelters to boost recruitment of newly graduated veterinarians. Increasing veterinary students’ exposure to shelter medicine throughout their veterinary training may also help address their concerns regarding euthanasia, salary, and quality of care.

Authors: de Wiel Albert van , Lammers Tom , Cai Zhi Wei , Bert Wolterbeek Antonia
Published: November 2021

Rice is the most widely consumed food for a large part of the world containing a variety of essential nutrients, but can also be contaminated with toxics like arsenic. This study analyzes the effect of cooking and frying, processed in the consumer’s kitchen, on arsenic concentrations Firstly, arsenic concentrations were measured in a number of rice species from Thailand and Turkey, available in supermarkets. The effect of cooking was studied in both white and brown rice with time of cooking and rice: water ratio as recommended by the producer. Part of the cooked rice was fried together with other ingredients for the preparation of the popular dish nasi goreng. Arsenic concentrations were measured with instrumental neutron activation analysis. Only one of the ten analyzed species contained an arsenic concentration beyond the European maximum limit of 0.3 mg/kg. Cooking of white rice resulted in a decrease of the arsenic concentration by 46%, while the concentration in brown rice was reduced by 27%. The preparation of the fried rice dish nasi goreng resulted in an additional reduction by 20% per weight unit, which should be attributed for the most part to a diluting effect by the addition of the other ingredients. Heating of rice without water reduced the arsenic concentration only by 10%. Cooking and frying of rice according to recommendations by the producer, result in a significant reduction of the arsenic concentration.

Herbs are the fresh or mixtures of dried leaves, seeds, grasses, nuts, barks, fruits, flowers, or other botanical elements. The production and uses of herbs are not new to the Worlds and Ethiopia. However, there is no such compiled information about herbal tea and its uses in Ethiopia. Herbs have a long history of both culinary use and health benefits, as well as acting as preservatives. Many herb plants are widely used as cooking to enhancing the flavor of foods including meats, sauces, vegetables, and health benefits by ensuring protection against harmful free radicals which consequently damaging of cellular structures, which contributes to the development of many diseases, have analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral and antiallergic. Drinking herbal teas has the advantage of boosting energy levels and invigorating the body, quenching the body by preventing hydration of the body, it promotes night sleep due to caffeine-free and it also has distinctive sensory qualities due to it contain the volatile fractions of various aroma active compounds. Herbal tea can be prepared by infusion or decoction using water on the whole or reduced to a suitable size and allowing too steep for a defined period. This review gives information on the production and the uses of herbal in the form of teas.

To evaluate the effects of electromagnetic waves on the total number and percentage of white blood cells and also antioxidant effects of vitamin C on the effects radiation, 24 male mice (Balb/c) were used: control under the influence of low frequency electromagnetic waves and under the influence of waves with vitamin C. Total number of white blood cells in under the influence waves group significantly increased compared to control group, and also under the influence waves group with vitamin C because its antioxidant property is able to prevent the increasing impact of electromagnetic waves. The percentage of white blood cells in the under influence waves group did not significantly change compared to the control group and also, the under influence waves group with vitamin C had no significant change compared to the other group. The percentage of neutrophils in samples of the under influence waves group had significant decrease compared to control group but in the under influence waves group with vitamin C compared to the other group, this vitamin C could prevent a significant reduction in percentage of neutrophils. Our findings indicated that low electromagnetic fields have caused significant changes in the total number of white blood cells and percentage of neutrophils in mice. In the group that received vitamin C injection, significant changes were observed in the total number of white blood cells and percentage of neutrophils relative to the group under the influence of low electromagnetic waves, which indicates that vitamin C could restore the mean total number of white blood cells and percentage of neutrophils to normal value.

Published: November 2021

Background: The antiviral agent favipiravir is an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) inhibitor. Materials and Methods: We examined patients with a clinical, laboratory, and radiological diagnosis of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. We investigated the effect of administering enteral favipiravir at a 2 × 1,600 mg loading dose and 2 × 600 mg maintenance dose for 5 days in addition to the standard COVID-19 treatment. Results: In total, 180 patients, who were hospitalized at the Istanbul Tuzla State Hospital and received favipiravir treatment between March 20, 2020 and May 30, 2020, were examined. Of these, 47 patients died. Thirty-three of the patients who died were aged over 65 years (70%), indicating that fatality was higher in elderly patients. Most of those who died had at least one comorbidity. Of the 101 patients who initiated favipiravir within ≤3 days of hospitalization, 17 died (17%). Of the 79 patients who initiated favipiravir after >3 days of hospitalization, 30 died (38%) (P = 0.002). Conclusion: We found that initiation of favipiravir within the first 72 h after the onset of disease symptoms reduced fatality in patients with COVID-19.

Authors: Baba Sule Muhammad
Published: November 2021

Urethrovaginal fistula is an abnormal communication between the urethra and vagina. Urethrovaginal fistula results in urinary incontinence with urine continually leaking from the vagina. In children congenital anomaly may also be the cause. Congenital Urethrovaginal fistula is an extremely rare genitourinary anomaly. The reported five cases in the literature are all associated with urogenital abnormalities like vaginal septum, vaginal agenesis and imperforate hymen. We present a case of a 7-year-old female that was referred from a peripheral hospital for micturating cystourethrography (MCUG) on account of urinary incontinence and passage of urine from vaginal orifice. Following MCUG the urethra, proximal fistula between the urethra and vagina, distended urinary bladder, contrast opacified uterus and a fallopian tube were all demonstrated. We report this case because of its rarity in the literature.

Published: November 2021

The objective of the present study was to determine effect of dietary inclusion of (Zingiber officinale) and garlic (Allium sativum) oil mixture (GIGM) on the growth performance and caecal microbial population of broiler chickens. One hundred and fifty one-day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were randomly allocated into 5 treatments with three replicates consisting of 10 birds each in a completely randomized design. Birds in treatment 1 (T1) was fed basal diet with 0 % inclusion of GIGM while T2, T3, T4 and T5 were given 0.1 %, 0.2 %, 0.3 % and 0.4 % respectively. Clean feed and water were offered ad libitum and all other management practices were strictly observed throughout the experiment which lasted for 56 days. Results obtained were used to determine weight gain (WG), average daily weight gain (ADWG), total feed intake (TFI), average daily feed intake (ADFI), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and microbial population of E.coli, Salmonella spp and Lactobacillus spp. ADWG, ADFI and FCR were significantly (P ˂ 0.05) influenced by the dietary inclusion of GIGM. ADWG were highest in T5 (47.80 g), T4 (45.75 g) and T3 (45.09 g), intermediate in T2 (39.59 g) and lowest in T1 (30.72 g). Lactobacillus spp increased as the level of dietary inclusion of GIGM increases (P ˂ 0.05). E.coli and Salmonella spp counts were significantly (P ˂ 0.05) different among the treatments. It was concluded that GIGM could be included in the diet of broilers up to 0.4 % without causing any deleterious effect on the performance and health of birds.

Authors: A. Young Peter , B. Chan Jessica , W. Su Michael
Published: November 2021

Acute localized exanthematous pustulosis (ALEP) is a rare subtype of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) with identical histologic findings. It results from a T-cell related neutrophilic inflammatory response and is characterized by monomorphic sterile pustules confined to the face, neck, or chest. Two cases of similar facial pustular eruptions in association with the messenger RNA–1273 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine have been reported, both in males of lighter skin over 50 years old. To highlight this rare reaction and its clinical appearance in patients of pigment-rich skin, we report the case of a young adult female with ALEP following injection of the RNA–1273 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.

Introduction: Isolated spontaneous iliac artery dissection is a rare event that is usually linked to connective disorders. There is no established consensus yet on treatment modality. Case report: we report the case of a 44 years old patient with no history of vascular diseases or trauma who was admitted in our institution for a spontaneous dissection of the right external iliac artery. Conclusion: management of spontaneous iliac artery dissection is not well defined. In fact, patients could be safely managed with medical therapy in the absence of signs of complications. Endovascular and open repair are reserved for patients with complications like limb ischemia or imminent artery rupture.
The case number 506 of Mostyn Embrey Syndrome: Imaging Studies and Ethics of Naming Syndromes
Authors: Al Mosawi Aamir Jalal
Published: November 2021

Background: Mostyn Embrey syndrome is a rare disorder associated with unilateral renal agenesis and malformations of the female reproductive tract. Delayed diagnosis is associated with serious diagnostic difficulties that may lead to inappropriate management including harmful surgery. The aim of this paper is to present imaging studies of case number 506 of the syndrome which was the first case of this rare syndrome in Iraq, and was originally reported in 2016. Ethics of naming syndromes relevant to this syndrome is discussed. Patients and methods: An 18-year-old female presented with acute abdominal pain and poor urine output associated with retention of urine; about three years after the onset of menses. The pain was radiating to the back and pelvis. Her menstrual cycles started at the age of fifteen, and were lasting seven days. Cycles were associated with normal flow. The first physician the patient consulted considered the diagnosis of uterine tumor and the need for hysterectomy, but the family of the patient consultedanother physician. Vaginal exam was performed and showed bulging left vaginal wall. The diagnosis of hematocolpos was made. A clotted blood was drained by trans- vaginal approach. Results: It was difficult to identify the two separate uteri and two separate cervices and to make a diagnosis of didelphys uterus on hysterosalpingography. Abdominal MRI showed left renal agenesis, and two uterine bodies, cervices, and vaginas with normal myometrium and endometrium (uterine didelphys), and normal ovaries. Conclusions: It is recommended that pediatricians, and pediatric nephrologists need to be aware of this syndrome to avoid unexpected presentations which may lead to delayed diagnosis and sometimes to inappropriate management. The imaging modalities that can be used to diagnose Mostyn Embrey syndrome include ultrasonography, hysterosal pingography and MRI. In this case, hysterosal pingography was not of much help. Ultrasound is affordable, non-invasive, widely available imaging modality that contributes to the accurate diagnosis of Mostyn Embrey syndrome. However, there can be difficulties in visualizing the vaginal septum on ultrasound which best shown on MRI. MRI can facilitate early diagnosis and thus help in the prevention of further complications. Syndromes in medicine are often named after the physician or group of physicians that discovered them or initially provided the full clinical picture or the best description of the syndrome. Unfortunately, Mostyn Embrey syndromes has been attributed unfairly and inappropriately to physicians other that those first described them in almost all previous papers.

Authors: Kouhkan Maryam , Javahershenas Ramin , Khalafy Jabbar
Published: November 2021

Background: Pyrimidine molecules' biological and chemotherapeutic importance in the medicinal world has been overlooked in many reports. We have previously synthesized new series of pyrrolo [3,2-d]pyrimidine derivatives (4a-4f) and here, we evaluate the antibacterial activity of these derivatives against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Salmonella bacteria. Materials and Methods: The agar well diffusion and agar dilution methods were used for determining inhibition zone diameter and minimum inhibitory concentration during preliminary evaluation of antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Statistical analysis using Microsoft Excel 2010 was based on three independent experiments and the results were expressed as mean. Results: Some of the synthesized compounds exhibited antibacterial activity against the tested bacteria. Conclusion: Our findings indicate the antibacterial potential of the six novel synthetic pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine compounds.
Influence of air content on thermal degradation of poly(ethylene terephthalate)
Authors: Rejmer Wojciech
Published: November 2021

Abstract: The aim of these research is to investigate the air content on aging of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) preforms. Three air pressures were selected and in each pressure 5 samples were aged during 21 days in 80oC. Three samples were selected to cut and measure their density with the use of hydrostatic method. Sample mass, Young modulus and surface roughness were measured for each sample before and after aging and differences between those parameters were presented as results. The changes of parameters may lead to a conclusion that mechanism of polymeric chain oxidation is dominant during thermal aging of PET. However the aging is not the fastest in atmospheric pressure but in lower air contents. This effect may be caused by greater evaporation of small molecule degradation products and shifting of reaction equilibrium in the direction of further decomposition.

Published: November 2021

Une brûlure est une lésion de la peau ou d’un autre tissu organique principalement causée par la chaleur ou les rayonnements, la radioactivité, l’électricité, la friction ou le contact avec des produits chimiques. Les plus fréquentes, les brûlures thermiques (dues à la chaleur), surviennent lorsque certaines cellules ou toutes les cellules de la peau ou d’autres tissus sont détruites par des liquides bouillants, des solides chauds (brûlures de contact), ou des flammes. En France, l’incidence des brûlures prises en charge à l’hôpital est environ de 13 pour 100 000 habitants. La prise en charge en urgence du brûlé grave par lésion thermique est bien décrite, une recommandation de pratique professionnelle a été publiée en 2019 par la Société française d’anesthésie et de réanimation, en association avec la Société francophone de brûlologie, la Société française de médecine d’urgence et l’Association des anesthésistes-réanimateurs pédiatriques d’expression française. Pourtant, l’urgentiste va être confronté à de nombreuses brûlures de gravité et de nature différentes. Nous faisons ici une mise au point sur les données connues en termes d’épidémiologie, de manifestations cliniques et des différentes thérapeutiques qui peuvent être proposées dans la prise en charge des brûlures. Nous faisons aussi le point sur les localisations à risque particulier que l’urgentiste doit connaître, ainsi que sur les intoxications qui peuvent être associées aux brûlures. Nous détaillons aussi certains contaminants qui sont à connaître.

Published: November 2021

The objective of our study is to use the essential oil from the leaves of the plant Eucalyptus camaldulensis, which has been extracted by the hydrodistillation method as pathogenic biobactericides, biofungicides and tested the phytotoxicity potential of essential oils of Eucalyptus camaldulensis, on the germination of three species of cereal (common wheat, barley and oats). The efficacy of the essential oil of Eucalyptus camaldulensis for different concentrations of 5, 2.5, 1.25 μl on four bacterial strains (namely Staphylococcus vitulinus, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus blanc, Enterobacter cloacae) and at concentrations of 60, 120, 240 μl on two fungal strains (Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium colmorum) is estimated by determining the rate of inhibition of the growth of bacteria and fungus tested. Our study (leaves appear) proved that the essential oil of Eucalyptus camaldulensis has a low activity against bacterial strains in all different concentrations, in which inhibition diameters do not exceed 5 mm. However, a good antifungal effect was manifested by what it showed a minimal inhibitory concentration (CMI) of 60 μl. Our results indicate that the extracts studied show good antibacterial and antifungal activities. In addition, the phytotoxicity test shows that the essential oil of Eucalyptus camaldulensis at a concentration of 50 μl shows a low toxicity rate on the germination of all the varieties of cereals studied: barley (Hordeum vulgare (Saida 183)), oats (Avena sativa L. subsp. Sativa (sonar)), and common wheat (Triticum aestivum L. var. HD1220 (Sersou)). Therefore, all of these results obtained in vitro only constitute an outline for scientific research of natural substances for biological control.
Kitab Futuh el-Sham (Pseudo-) Muhammada ibn Umar al-Waqidi’ego jako źródło do studium bitwy nad rzeką Jarmuk (636)
Authors: Matvieiev Andrii
Published: November 2021

Artykuł przedstawia przebieg bitwy nad rzeką Jarmuk, do której doszło 20 sierpnia 636 roku pomiędzy wojskami bizantyńskimi pod dowództwem Vahana i siłami kalifatu, którymi dowodził Khalіd іbn al-Walid. Podstawę źródłową niniejszych analiz stanowi kitab, którego autorem jest z (Pseudo-) al-Waqidi. Nie chodzi o analizę czysto wojskowego aspektu tego starcia, lecz o jego interpretację w tradycji islamskiej na początku IX w. Jednym z nosicielem tej tradycji jest właśnie (Pseudo-) al-Waqidi. Starcie nad Jarmuk było nie tylko klęską militarną Cesarstwa Bizantyńskiego, lecz przegraną która przesądziła o dalszych losach Syrii i Palestyny. Przeszły one bowiem pod panowanie kalifatu i już nigdy nie powróciły do cesarstwa. (Pseudo-) al-Waqidi interpretując to wydarzenie podkreśla, że był to przełom w tworzeniu nowego porządku w tej części świata. Co więcej, ów nowy ład powstał dzięki męstwu muzułmańskich wojowników i ich żon. Podkreślenie roli kobiet w tym zwycięstwie jest szczególnie godne uwagi, ponieważ w islamie nie eksponuje się zwykle ich znaczenia. (Pseudo-) al-Waqidi podkreśla również, że w bitwie nad Jarmuk Bóg chrześcijan nie wsparł skutecznie swych wyznawców. Uczynił to natomiast Allah, czego efektem była klęska wojsk cesarskich. Walka nad Jarmuk toczyła się więc zdaniem (Pseudo-) al-Waqidi’ego na dwóch płaszczyznach: ludzkiej i nadprzyrodzonej. Wyznawcy Allaha odnieśli w niej zwycięstwo, które było nie tylko zwycięstwem nad chrześcijanami, lecz także nad ich wiarą. W tym sensie analizowane tutaj dzieło jest ważnym świadkiem powstania imperialnej tradycji muzułmańskiej, która łączy w sobie interpretację historyczną i religijną

Pandemi covid-19 telah telah mengubah tatanan hidup manusia dalam segala aspek kehidupan. Pemerintah melakukan pembatasan aktivitas masyarakat untuk mencegah kerumunan guna menghindari penyebaran covid-19. Berdasarkan Surat Edaran Nomor 15 Tahun 2020 tentang Pedoman Penyelenggaraan Belajar dari Rumah Dalam Masa Darurat Penyebaran Covid-19, pemerintah mengalihkan kegiatan belajar mengajar di kelas atau konvensional menjadi kelas daring atau virtual. Fenomena ini tentunya menjadi hal baru yang dialami pendidik dan peserta didik karena harus menggunakan media pembelajaran daring untuk menghubungkan satu sama lain. Penggunaan media pembelajaran daring selama pandemi covid-19 bisa menjadi alternatif pilihan untuk memberikan rasa aman dalam belajar mengajar. Banyak sekali media pembelajaran daring yang tersedia seperti Zoom, WhatsApp, Google Classroom, Google Meeting, Edmodo dan lainnya. Namun guru harus pintar dalam memilih media pembelajaran yang tepat sesuai peruntukannya dengan menimbang kesiapan dan kondisi siswa. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, peneliti dapat menyimpulkan bahwa penggunaan media pembelajaran yang sering digunakan guru dan disukai oleh siswa yaitu WhatsApp Group dikarenakan mudah untuk diakses dan tidak membutuhkan banyak kuota untuk mengaksesnya. Namun kendala yang sering dialami siswa saat pembelajaran daring pada masa pandemi yaitu sulit memahami materi pelajaran, belum lagi tugas yang diberikan guru relatif banyak. Oleh karena itu pembelajaran daring ini membuat siswa tidak senang menjalaninya.

Advancements in multi-objective eco-routing solutions using connectivity
Authors: Alfaseeh Lama
Published: November 2021

Due to the significant adverse impact of transportation systems on the environment, topics related to alleviating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are gaining more attention. As
potential solutions to mitigate GHG emissions, several approaches have been proposed to
better control traffic and manage transportation systems. The employment of Intelligent
Transportation System (ITS), which adopts the advancements in Information and Communication Technology (ICT), has been proposed as the most favourable approach to alleviate
the undesirable impact of transportation systems on the environment. ITS can control several aspects of a network, such as speed, traffic signals, and route guidance. For the purpose
of routing, this research aims to exploit the advancements in ICT by including connected
and automated vehicles (CAVs) and sensing technology in an urban congested network.
Anticipatory multi-objective eco-routing in a distributed routing framework was proposed and compared to myopic routing with a large case study on a congested network.
The End-to-End Connected Autonomous Vehicles (E2ECAV) dynamic distributed routing
framework was examined, and encouraging results were found based on the traffic and environmental perspectives. The impact of different market penetration rates (MPRs) of CAVs
was examined for various traffic conditions. E2ECAV was adopted for both the myopic and
anticipatory routing strategies in this dissertation. The best GHG costing approach was defined and was among the elements tackled in this research. For a robust anticipatory routing
application, predictive models were developed based on Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM),
a deep learning approach, while considering a high level of spatial (link level) and temporal
(one minute) resolution. With regards to the LSTM predictive models, the impact was illustrated of using a deeper LSTM network and systematically tuning its hyper-parameters.
The anticipatory routing strategy significantly outperformed the myopic routing strategy
based on the the traffic and environmental perspectives. This research shows that ITS can
help significantly reduce GHG emissions produced by transportation systems. The developed predictive models can be used while real-time data are collected from sensors within an
urban network. Furthermore, the proposed anticipatory routing framework can be applied
in a real-time situation.

Authors: Nelaturi Suman , Sarma Nookala Venkata Satya Narasimha
Published: November 2021

This communication reported the patch antenna working at Wi-Fi and 5G bands. To acquire compactness the side lengths of the patch are taken based on upper-frequency band (3.3 GHz). Dual-band operation (lower resonating band) is realized by loading the Mushroom Unit Cell (MUC) along the bottom right corner of the patch. To obtain Circular Polarization (CP) at the 5G band the conventional patch is modified with fractal boundary. This blend of the Double Negative Transmission Lines metamaterials (DNG TL), as well as fractal concepts yielded good compactness suitable for ultra-thin portable gadgets. Measured results have good correlation with simulated data from HFSS. The obtained bandwidths at the lower and upper bands are 2.51 % and 6.23 % when the Poly fractal curves are introduced. CP bandwidth of the proposed antenna at 5G band obtained from the measured data is 2.35 % which is the highest to the best of authors' knowledge for this type of thin antennas.
Application of Gene-Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy in Cancer Treatment

Published: November 2021

Gene-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (GDEPT) is an advanced cancer therapy that has potential use against localized and metastasized cancer. This strategy aims to improve the limitations of chemotherapy and existing cancer treatments by specific gene delivery, which allows the conversion of systemically administered nontoxic prodrugs to active chemotherapeutic drugs inside the target tumor cells, thereby resulting in a significant therapeutic index by introducing high concentrations of cytotoxic compounds to the tumor cells while limiting the systemic toxicity. The main attraction of GDEPT is by expanding the toxicity to adjacent non-expressing target cancer cells through local and distal bystander effects, leading to tumor regression. This review focused on the application of the six main GDEPT systems for treating cancer, including herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-TK) with ganciclovir (GCV), cytosine deaminase (CD) from bacteria or yeast with 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC), E. coli nitroreductase (NfsB) with 5-(aziridin-1-yl)-2,4- initrobenzamide (CB1954), hepatic cytochrome P4l50 (CYP450) with cyclophosphamide (CPA), purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) from E. coli with 6-methylpurine deoxyriboside (MEP), and bacterial carboxypeptidase G2 (CPG2) with 4-[(2-chloroethyl)(2-mesloxyethyl)amino] benzoyl-L-glutamic acid (CMDA). In each system, the mechanism of action, clinical trials for the past decades, limitations, and areas that need improvement are discussed.

A espécie Kalanchoe laetivirens é uma suculenta proveniente de áreas tropicais como a África e Ásia. Devido ao clima favorável, esta planta foi introduzida no Brazil onde é utilizada como alternativa medicinal para o tratamento de doenças como infecções, inflamações, diarréia e cicatrização de ferimentos. Os compostos presentes neste organismo pertencem, em sua grande maioria, a classe dos flavonoides com atividades antioxidante, gastroprotetora, antiúlcera, cálculos renais, infecções bacterianas e virais. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar os compostos químicos presentes nos extratos brutos e das suas frações bem como verificar seu potencial antimicrobiano. Para isso, a amostra vegetal foi submetida à extração com etanol 70% sendo fracionada em seguida com hexano, clorofórmio e acetato de etila. Tais extratos foram analisados em cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência acoplada ao espectrômetro de massas para verificar os íons presentes nas amostras. Foi encontrado composto 3,7-di-O-ramnosil-cianidina, a uma cianidina glicosilada. Sua atividade antimicrobiana foi determinada como sendo negativa frente aos patógenos testados.

The effect of incorporating of breadcrumbs, oatmeal and cassava starch on the physicochemical and sensorial parameters of low-fat lamb burgers were investigated. Seven treatments were prepared: control (CONT), 2% or 4% addition of breadcrumbs (BRE2 and BRE4), oatmeal flour (OAT2 and OAT4) and cassava flour (CAS2 and CAS4); and analyzed their physicochemical parameters (moisture, protein, fat, ash, carbohydrate, energy, water holding capacity and cooking loss). Furthermore, consumers evaluated the sensory acceptance (color, taste, texture, aroma and overall quality) and indicated their preference. The treatments affected the characteristics of the product (P<0.05), the highest values of fat (12.26%) carbohydrate (2.83%), energy (194.39Kcal/100g) and cooking loss (54.90%) were found in CAS2, CAS4, OAT4 and BRE2, respectively. CAS2 group improved the taste, while BRE4 improved the texture and along with CAS4 were the batches most preferred by consumers (18.8% and 21.5%, respectively). Breadcrumbs and cassava flour are most recommended for low-fat lamb burger production.

A resiliência se apresenta como um fator imprescindível para que os profissionais de saúde possam realizar as suas funções com êxito. O objetivo do estudo foi conhecer os mecanismos institucionais e neurofisiológicos que ajudam os profissionais da saúde na promoção da resiliência. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática realizada a partir da pesquisa com os descritores “Equipe de Assistência ao Paciente”, “Neurofisiologia” e “Resiliência Psicológica”, combinados com o descritor booleano “AND”, nas bases de dados BVS, SciELO, PubMed e Portal de Periódicos CAPES, foram encontrados 3.047 artigos. Os critérios de inclusão dos artigos definidos foram: textos disponíveis online, na íntegra e gratuitamente, em idioma português, inglês e espanhol, publicados entre os anos 2014 a 2020. Após aplicar os critérios de inclusão e de exclusão restaram 1.082, ao realizar a leitura do título e do resumo apenas 73 estudos foram selecionados para leitura integral, desses escolheu-se 10 para compor a base de dados dessa revisão. A resiliência entre profissionais da saúde que atuam na emergência é menor do que o das outras especialidades. Diversos estudos identificaram o papel protetor da resiliência pessoal durante eventos de desastre e surto de doenças, sugerindo que o fortalecimento dos níveis de resistência e habilidades de enfrentamento pode ajudá-los a gerenciar e lidar com situações estressantes de forma eficaz. A resiliência é relevante para os profissionais da saúde, pois proporciona melhoria da performance do profissional no ambiente de trabalho e ajuda no enfrentamento de diversas situações estressoras. Dado isso, percebeu-se a necessidade da implementação de medidas que promovam o desenvolvimento da resiliência para esses indivíduos.

O transtorno do espectro autista (TEA) caracteriza-se pelos déficits na comunicação, na linguagem e nos padrões de comportamentos restrito e repetitivo. A frequência de indivíduos diagnosticados com TEA tem aumentado no decorrer dos últimos anos, e consequentemente leva a uma maior demanda de pacientes nos consultórios odontológicos. Este aumento da demanda faz com que o profissional cirurgião dentista necessite de crtg5bonhecimento acerca das particularidades do paciente com TEA, comorbidades associadas e patologias orais mais comuns, para realizar uma conduta terapêutica eficaz e devolver saúde ao paciente. Assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre a importância do tratamento odontológico no paciente com transtorno do espectro autista por meio da análise dos acometimentos bucais mais comuns nesses indivíduos, bem como dos desafios enfrentados pelo cirurgião-dentista frente a toda complexidade do TEA. Como metodologia para o estudo foi realizada busca por palavras-chave autismo, odontologia, saúde bucal e odontopediatria nas bases de dados Lilacs, Pubmed e Scielo. Conclusão: diante das inúmeras dificuldades encontradas pelos pais e cuidadores, os pacientes portadores do transtorno do espectro autista devem receber um tratamento interdisciplinar, onde o cirurgião-dentista pertencente a esta equipe deve transmitir a importância dos cuidados preventivos em relação as patologias bucais e as orientações quanto à dieta e higiene bucal, bem como o tratamento adequado.
