Lonomia Obliqua Caterpillar Encounter in Guyana: 29-Year-Old European Tourist Who Develops Coagulopathy
Authors: Kellman Dwayne , Walcott Andy , Reid Esan
Published: May 2023

Background: Envenomation cases in Guyana are primarily from snake bite wounds and result in haemorrhagic syndromes developing. Although Guyana shares borders with Brazil there haven’t been published cases of Lonomia obliqua caterpillar encounters.
Case Presentation: Here we present the case of a 29-year-old, previously healthy European male tourist who developed haematuria and ecchymosis after stepping on a Lonomia obliqua caterpillar. He had abnormal prothrombin and partial thromboplastin times with no progression to renal failure or intracranial haemorrhage. The venom from these caterpillars affects both the inflammatory and coagulation systems. Treatment with antilonomic serum is recommended and due to pro-thrombotic effects of cryoprecipitate and fresh plasma these are not recommended.
Outcome: The patient was admitted and on day two received antilonomic serum which was sourced from Brazil as it was not readily available locally. After a ten-day hospital stay, he was discharged with normalization of his prothrombin and partial thromboplastin times.

Infectious Mononucleosis: A Case Report with Unusual Features and EBV Induced Hepatitis
Authors: S Shihas , Suresh Archana , Dharman Dhanya
Published: May 2023

Despite the fact that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections are common, we continue to hear about new cases of the illness with bizarre and unique symptoms, which prompts the issue of how well we understand this disease. In developing countries, the average age at which an infection is contracted is rising. Other physical symptoms are less noticeable and liver involvement is more noticeable throughout these stages. To inform healthcare professionals of this change, an update on infectious mononucleosis (IM) variable manifestation is necessary. Although our patient didn't have many physical symptoms, blood testing revealed a typical picture of EBV-induced hepatitis. This instance is consistent with recent research suggesting that hepatic involvement is among the most noticeable symptoms in adults with primary EBV infection.

Revisão de literatura: normas para construção de abatedouro para bovinos, caprinos, ovinos e suínos.
Authors:   , Macedo de Sousa Gabriel
Published: May 2023

A construção de um abatedouro deu origem a partir do momento que o homem aprendeu a viver em civilização e a juntar animais a fim de obter seu sustento em uma mesma área sem a necessidade de se deslocar muito para isso. Com a introdução de abatedouros, inicialmente de bovinos, o acesso do homem ao consumo de carne ficou mais fácil, contudo se evidenciou muitos problemas em relação ao abatedouro em si, seja por questões sanitárias, por questões estruturais ou humanitárias. Para isso, visando a segurança alimentar, com o passar dos anos, o ser humano foi estabelecendo normativas e planejamento para se construir um abatedouro mais seguro. Para o município de Sumé, no estado da Paraíba, a construção de um abatedouro é de fundamental importância para a cidade no geral, tanto para bovinos como também para suínos, caprinos e ovinos e é necessário seguir essas normativas a fim de se ter um alimento melhor e mais seguro, livre de doenças e de bactérias. Além disso, as normativas preveem um local adequado e um uso apropriado para os resíduos que são gerados nesses estabelecimentos, visando sempre a saúde das pessoas e do bem-estar do meio ambiente.

Outlaw motorcycle gangs and domestic violence
Authors: Morgan Anthony , Cubitt Timothy , Dowling Christopher
Published: May 2023

In this paper we explore the prevalence and patterns of recorded domestic violence offending among outlaw motorcycle gang (OMCG) members in New South Wales. We then compare domestic violence offending among a sample of OMCG members and other male offenders who committed their first recorded offence in the same year. Forty percent of OMCG members had been proceeded against for a domestic violence offence in the last 10 years. OMCG members were twice as likely to have been proceeded against for domestic violence offences as the wider male offending population. Domestic violence offending by OMCG members was more harmful and charges were less likely to result in a guilty outcome. OMCG members have a greater propensity for violence and this includes domestic violence. This research has implications for law enforcement and domestic violence support services.

Published: May 2023

Os processos de inundação tornam-se cada vez mais prejudiciais às comunidades, em razão de fatores como as mudanças climáticas e o uso do solo. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os danos econômicos de eventos de inundações em área das bacias urbanas de Lages/SC. Foram considerados quatro planos para a avaliação econômica, um referente a condições sem medidas protetivas e três com a aplicação de elevação de estruturas em diferentes alturas, bem como dois cenários de evolução da ocupação urbana. As chuvas foram obtidas por meio do modelo probabilístico de Gumbel, para a estimativa das chuvas máximas acumuladas de cinco dias, com a modelagem hidrológica realizada no hydrologic modeling system (HEC-HMS). A modelagem hidrodinâmica foi executada no river analysis system (HEC-RAS), por meio da simulação de modelo 1D. O modelo HEC-FDA foi utilizado para a realização da análise de redução de risco de danos causados por inundações, em que foram calculados os danos anuais esperados (EAD) para os quatro planos propostos, bem como para os cenários de crescimento urbano. Os resultados demostraram que a aplicação da medida mitigadora de elevação das estruturas reduziu o expected annual damage (EAD) em até 83,10%. Já para o cenário de evolução do crescimento urbano, observou-se aumento do EAD em 62,09% no intervalo de 20 anos. O modelo FDA demostrou ser uma boa ferramenta para a análise dos danos econômicos de inundações em diferentes cenários, com resultados que podem auxiliar os tomadores de decisões na fomentação de políticas públicas.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Anger is a strong emotional response to deprivation and provocation. It is an emotion that is often created by the discrepancy between our expectations and reality. For medical professionals, it is very necessary to manage their anger because they have to deal with patients of diverse manners. The current study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practices of medical students regarding anger from an Islamic perspective. Methods: the current study enrolled medical students who were enrolled in different grades in medical schools. Moreover, after the informed consent, each student was asked to fill out the self-designed questionnaire. The data was statistically analysed by SPSS. Results: The study population comprised 277 subjects, including females and males. Among all participants in the current study, females (147, 53.1%) are more common than males. The highest and lowest numbers of students are enrolled in the 1st year of MBBS (74, 26.7%) and the final year of MBBS (1, 0.4%), respectively. Moreover, personal behaviour after getting angered was asked, like do you leave the scene (said Yes, 123, 44.4%) or seek refuge with Allah (said Yes, 92, 33.2%) from shaitan or taking ablution (said No, 54, 19.5%). The p-value is less than 0.05 for the questions asked as anger is satanic teaching or motivation (p=0.004), or Islam has refrained us from anger (p=0.000), and anger results in an increased crime rate (p=0.000). Similarly, the p-value is less than 0.05 in the case of questions like do you get irritated soon (p=0.002) and when did you get angry (p=0.001). Conclusion: It is concluded that young medical students are more aggressive, and they have less ability to manage their aggressiveness. Islamic teaching plays a vital role in the management and control of anger. Keywords: Medical Students, Anger Management, Knowledge, Islamic Teachings.

Exploring Diasporic Identity and Cross-Cultural Conflict in Jhumpa Lahiri's The Namesake and The Lowland: A Comparative Study
Authors: Yogesh Kumar
Published: May 2023

In Jhumpa Lahiri's novels The Namesake (2003) and The Lowland (2013), the author delves into the complexities of diasporic identity and cross-cultural conflict through the lives of her characters. Both novels explore themes of personal identity, displacement, and the effects of political and cultural forces on individual lives and relationships. The Namesake follows the life of Gogol Ganguli, a second-generation Indian American, as he navigates the challenges of dual cultural identity. Lahiri utilizes Gogol's unique name as a metaphor for his struggle with his Indian heritage and American upbringing, highlighting the tension between assimilation and cultural preservation. The novel emphasizes the importance of embracing one's cultural roots while also recognizing the complexities of maintaining multiple cultural identities. In The Lowland, Lahiri explores the lives of two brothers, Subhash and Udayan, and the woman who connects them, Gauri. Set against the backdrop of the Naxalite movement in India and the immigrant experience in the United States, the novel examines the challenges faced by immigrants as they navigate new cultural landscapes. Lahiri also explores the impact of political turmoil on personal relationships and individual identity, raising questions about the role of political activism and the costs of personal sacrifice. Both novels address the generational gap between immigrant parents and their American-born children, emphasizing the need for understanding and empathy in navigating complex family dynamics. Lahiri's exploration of cross-cultural conflict extends beyond the personal experiences of her characters to the broader context of Indian history and politics, underscoring the ways in which larger societal forces can influence individual lives. Ultimately, The Namesake and The Lowland serve as poignant reminders of the importance of understanding, empathy, and self-discovery in navigating the complexities of diasporic identity and cross-cultural conflict.

The current study is describing the main degrading scums in bromazepam, diazepam, Cefixime trihydrate, cefazolin sodium, simvastatin, and lovastatin, among other materials and manufactured items. HPLC was used to characterize pharmaceutical substance scums by comparing their retention lengths to reference standards. Before deciding, they sorted all the material from its main scums. Scums fell between 1.23 to 20.57 min, and parent compounds had try values between 2.71 and 9.22. Thus, isolating and identifying these compounds takes 20 minutes. This study identified parent compounds and degradation products using HPLC after confirming the European Pharmacopeial methodology. HPLC method validation for parent pharmaceuticals and degradation scums examined specificity, linearity, precision, and accuracy. The process can be applied to commodities and waste products using each compound's values for these qualities. 98%–102% of parent and scum materials are recovered. The experimental technique repeats within 3%. In compliance with pharmacopeial and regulatory norms, scums above 0.1% must be determined for pharmaceutical safety, efficacy, and quality. It's vital due to the effects of packaging, transit, storage, and manufacturer synthetic pathways. Adjuvants may cause degradation scums. The selected drugs' raw material and finished product levels of their main degrading scums were examined, and a concentration range was provided.

Growth and productivity of different intercrops grown in the allies of neem (Azadirachta indica A.Juss) in red & laterite zone of West Bengal
Authors: Banerjee Hirak , Dhara P.
Published: May 2023

Field experiment was conducted on the lateritic soil of West Bengal during 2006 and 2007 to evaluate the seasonal aerial growth and productivity of Azadirachta indica (planted during August 2002) at a spacing of 5 m x 5 m (400 plants/ha) under alley cropping system with 4 different intercrops Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea), Rice (Oryza sativa), Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) and Blackgram (Vigna mungo). The result revealed that height, diameter at breast height (dbh) and volume of wood of Neem were increased gradually with the increasing age of the tree but the rate of increment of height and dbh was shown in a phasic manner due to change of climate throughout the year. Experimental results revealed that out of four intercrops, production of Rice (2.40 and 2.50 t/ha during kharif 2006 and 2007 respectively) was recorded maximum. Performance of all the intercrops grown under Neem Plantation was slightly better during 2nd year of experimentation than 1st year. However, total economic outturn was recorded maximum under Azadirachta indica + Groundnut Agroforestry System (Rs. 49,600/ha/year) closely followed by that of Azadirachta indica + Rice Agroforestry System (Rs. 42,700/ha/year). The soil moisture content as well as soil nutrient status was increased in all depth of soil where intercrops were grown in the allies of neem tree.
Deslocamentos e errâncias: a criação de escritas perform-ativas
Authors: Boito Sofia Rodrigues
Published: May 2023

O presente artigo apresenta algumas reflexões, análises e criações poéticas feitas durante a pesquisa de doutorado intitulada Escritas performativas: textualidades criadas por corpos e espaços, nela a autora relaciona a experiência corporal de escritores durante caminhadas e errâncias e os resultados textuais alcançados. O intuito é de refletir sobre a natureza dos textos que emergem de tais práticas, considerando corpo e mente como duas entidades integradas. Parti, assim, da seguinte questão: seria possível engajar o corpo na atividade de escrita? A fim de responder a essa pergunta, tracei uma breve história do corpo e de sua relação com a escrita desde a modernidade, utilizando estudos de historiadores como Georges Vigarello e David Le Breton, de filósofos, como Deleuze e Rousseau e de críticos literários, como Dominique Rabaté. O intuito é demonstrar que a visão cartesiana do homem cindido – em que mente e corpo são instâncias separadas – é uma construção histórica e que pode, portanto, ser questionada e combatida
Integrating the Integration
Authors: Scholkmann Antonia , Stegeager Nikolaj , Miller Richard K.
Published: May 2023

This paper provides a conceptual elaboration of the role of Problem-based Learning (PBL) in the integration of social sciences and humanities (SSH) with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and an analysis of the challenges this brings about. SSH-STEM integration is an endeavor that is timely, relevant, and urgent given the insufficient answers that higher education provides to the challenges social science and (especially) humanity faces. PBL can be argued as a pedagogical model to naturally cater to this demand. Based on two cases of integrated study programs from Aalborg University, Denmark, we analyze and discuss challenges and potential pitfalls in integrating SSH and STEM. As a result, we pinpoint learnings that can serve as timely guides in future iterations of problem-based, inter- and transdisciplinary endeavors in higher education.
University Educators’ Professional Learning in a PBL Pedagogical Development Programme
Authors: Guerra Aida , Nørgaard Bente , Du Xiangyun
Published: May 2023

This study explored university teachers’ professional learning when participating in a pedagogical development (PD) programme. The PD programme, entitled the Aalborg Certificate on Basics of PBL and Curriculum Change, had a workload of 150 hours and ran for four months, involving 23 teachers from Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Bogotá, Colombia). The programme comprised four modules, delivered in a blended mode, and followed a problem- and project-based learning (PBL) approach, as well as being based on PBL principles. This investigation conceptualizes professional learning from the complex learning theory perspective, describing it as a complex dynamic system involving knowledge, motivations, values, attitudes, and beliefs dependent on social and individual contextual factors, and how these can lead to the implementation of alternative teaching practices in classroom (e.g., PBL). Building on that, this work addresses the following research questions: (1) What knowledge and beliefs have the PD programme participants developed about PBL? (2) In which ways do the developed knowledge and beliefs impact participants’ change towards PBL? This analysis takes a qualitative approach and uses multiple sources of data, namely participants’ portfolios and reflection essays, as well as a qualitative survey. The results show the participants developed a deep understanding of PBL principles and practices by experiencing them through the PD programme, and that reflective practice enables continuous professional learning and development. Additionally, their perceived challenges were related to time, as well as institutional support and infrastructures, in addition to student and teacher training.
GEODIVERSIDADE EX SITU ASSOCIADA AO PATRIMÔNIO CULTURAL NO CENTRO HISTÓRICO DE JOÃO PESSOA, PARAÍBA
Authors: Schaefer Pereira Luciano
Published: May 2023

Considerando que a geodiversidade corresponde a geofeições que ocorrem na crosta, sendo que sua forma ex situ está associada a rochas que foram extraídas de seu local de origem e utilizadas em edificações e monumentos, o Centro Histórico de João Pessoa apresenta diversos exemplos do emprego destes elementos desde os princípios de sua ocupação, em meados do século XVI. Para tanto, considerando a finalidade de uso dos diversos litotipos e suas diferentes funções, de modo temporal, utilizados no Patrimônio Cultural da cidade, foram estabelecidos, baseando-se em Silva e Nascimento (2018), os grupos histórico, ornamentativo, construtivo e funcional. Desse modo, foram selecionados e inventariados a Igreja Nossa Senhora do Carmo, Ladeira da Borborema, Monumento a Nossa Senhora de Lourdes, Monumento a Álvaro Lopes Machado, Palácio da Redenção e Balaustrada das Trincheiras. Observa-se que as edificações construídas no período colonial utilizaram, basicamente, o calcário Gramame como georecurso principal. A partir do século XX, rochas ígneas e metamórficas passam a ser utilizadas em monumentos comemorativos ou como pisos/fachadas nas edificações. A balaustrada é o grande exemplo de uma intervenção antrópica que representa uma nova funcionalidade à geodiversidade, o que permite concluir haver diferentes finalidades para estes elementos ao longo do tempo na cidade. Este tipo de estudo é pertinente para a divulgação do geoconhecimento, sendo necessário para gerar uma consciência voltada à geoconservação de tão importante recurso.
