The present work arose from the reflections arising from the classes taught in the field of health, society and the environment, at the PPGEAA (Programa de Pós-graduação em Estudos Antrópicos na Amazônia) and aims to articulate the relationships between these conceptions from the intertwining with the thematic proposal arising from the student research project presented to the program. To this end, this article presents a study on cosmologies and indigenous thought with regard to the way in which these societies organize themselves, coexist and conceive the triad of health, society and environment. Even so, it is necessary to understand the multiple ways in which these societies conduct their social practices based on their beliefs recurrently interconnected with elements present in nature. The methodology used in this work consists of bibliographical research from the selection of texts that dialogue with the thematic proposal in question. The theoretical framework of this research is based on the work of authors who focus on the concepts treated or who in some way complement the dialogue of this research. The knowledge, beliefs and practices disseminated through the indigenous tradition were, for a long time, marginalized, ignored or mistakenly viewed by the foreign gaze and the ethnocentric issue in the figure of the colonizer. With that, it is expected with this work, to provide a critical, plural and interdisciplinary interpretation from the reflection on the indigenous thought in the present time.

Authors: Abd Lahin Farhana , Sarbatly Rosalam , Chel Ken Chiam
Published: December 2022

An upflow sand filter operated in incremental filtration rates (0.072, 0.181, 0.481 m3 m-2 h-1) was studied for turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), ammonia (NH4), and total coliform removal rates. Each cycle lasted for 45 days. The filter bed was made of sand with 0.10 mm D10 and supported by 0.49 mm and 2.10 mm gravel with a total bed depth of 0.50 m. Turbidity removal was recorded above 80% in all cycles with a maximum concentration of 7.29 NTU. TSS removal was maintained at over 90%, with an average discharge of 4.77 mg/L in all cycles. The NH4 removal increased steadily to 91% for 0.072 m3 m-2 h-1 and 93% for 0.181 m3 m-2 h-1 filtration rate. The algal bloom occurrence at 0.481 m3 m-2 h-1 filtration rate overloaded the system with NH4, declining the removal rate to 45%. Total coliform removal recorded an average of 99% in 0.072 m3 m-2 h-1, 89% in 0.181 m3 m-2 h-1, and 66% in 0.481 m3 m-2 h-1. A high filtration rate resulted in a shorter contact time between pollutants and microorganisms within the filter bed, which reduces the removal efficiency. The Shearing effect was also experienced where the attachments of particles and bacteria were minimised.

Psychological processes associated with resilience in UK-based unpaid caregivers during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Wilson Emma , Onwumere Juliana , Hirsch Colette
Published: December 2022

Background

Unpaid caregivers have faced and dealt with additional challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding the psychological processes associated with their resilience is warranted. The objective of this study was to examine the associations between resilience with mental distress, emotion regulation strategies (i.e., reappraisal and suppression) and interpretation bias in adult caregivers.

Method

Participants were living in the UK, aged 18+, and consisted of 182 unpaid caregivers of an adult aged 18+ living with a long-term health condition, and 120 non-caregivers. Data were collected in an online study during the first national UK COVID-19 lockdown (May and September 2020). Hierarchical multiple regression analyses explored whether emotion regulation strategies and interpretation bias explained unique variance in levels of resilience in caregivers whilst controlling for anxiety and depression.

Results

Compared to non-caregivers, caregivers reported higher levels of anxiety, depression, negative interpretation bias and lower levels of resilience. Emotion regulation strategies did not differ between groups. Within caregivers, greater resilience was associated with lower mood disturbance, a positive interpretation bias, and greater use of cognitive reappraisal and lower use of suppression strategies to regulate emotions. Emotion regulation and interpretation bias together predicted an additional 15% of variance in current levels of resilience.

Conclusion

Our findings indicate that psychological mechanisms such as emotion regulation strategies, particularly reappraisal, and interpretation bias are associated with resilience in caregivers. Although preliminary, our findings speak to exciting clinical possibilities that could form the target of interventions to improve resilience and lower mental distress in unpaid caregivers.
The influence of alcohol on rumination and metacognitions in major depressive disorder
Authors: Gawron Lana , Pohl Anna , Gerlach Alexander L.
Published: December 2022

Background and Objectives

Comorbidity between major depressive disorder (MDD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) is highly prevalent but reasons for this association are unclear. Rumination may activate metacognitive beliefs that contribute to the development and maintenance of rumination and depression. Negative metacognitions can further lead to other dysfunctional coping strategies (i.e., consumption of alcohol). We examined whether alcohol reduces (state) metacognitions, rumination and other disorder-specific processes in a group of individuals suffering from MDD.

Method

In an experiment with three randomized conditions we investigated whether the consumption of alcohol, placebo or no alcohol (orange juice) affects (meta-)cognitions, depressive symptoms and / or psychophysiological variables while participants ruminate.

Results

Voluntary rumination increased self-reported sadness, tension and rumination, tensed facial muscles and increased heart rate, but did not affect (state) metacognitions and heart rate variability. The consumption of alcohol did not influence rumination, metacognitions, depressive or psychophysiological measures.

Limitations

We recruited a depressed population but excluded pathological alcohol use due to ethical considerations.

Conclusions

We found no evidence that alcohol consumption affects rumination, metacognitions and other disorder-specific processes in MDD. However, rumination had a negative effect on various depression-specific processes, although it did not activate (negative state) metacognitions.
YUNUS-GÜVENDE: GATT’TAN DÜNYA TİCARET ÖRGÜTÜNE GEÇİŞTE BALIKÇILIĞA İLİŞKİN BİR UYUŞMAZLIK VE ULUSLARARASI HUKUKTA ETKİLERİ
Authors: KAYHAN Ali Kerem
Published: December 2022

Amerika Birleşik Devletleri (ABD) ve Meksika arasındaki Pasifik Okyanusu’nda orkinos balıkçılığına ilişkin uyuşmazlıklar, 90’lı yılların başında başlayıp 2019 yılında nihayete ermiş ve uzunca bir süreye yayılarak uluslararası hukuk gündemine etki eden bir mesele olarak ön plana çıkmıştır. Uyuşmazlıkların ilk ayağını ABD’nin Meksika’ya uyguladığı ticari kısıtlamalar oluşturur. Meksika’nın 1947 tarihli Gümrük Tarifeleri ve Ticaret Genel Anlaşması (GATT 1947) çerçevesince 1991 yılındaki şikâyeti ile oluşturulan Panel, Meksika’yı haklı bulmuştur. Akabinde tarafların bir anlaşma çerçevesinde uzlaşmaları ile anlaşmazlıklar bir süre için sonlanmış gözükse de ABD’de Federal Mahkeme kararı ile Meksika menşeli orkinoslar için yeni yasaklar uygulanmaya başlanınca mesele 2008 yılında tekrar gün yüzüne çıkmıştır. Bu dönemde Dünya Ticaret Örgütü’nün (DTÖ) kurulmuş olması ve Ticarette Teknik Engeller Anlaşması’nın (TTE) kabulü, uyuşmazlığın boyutunu değiştirmiştir. Uyuşmazlığın uzun zaman alan çözüm aşamaları, 2019 yılında sonlanmış ve nihayetinde karar ABD lehine sonuçlanmıştır. Gerek GATT döneminde gerek DTÖ dönemindeki uyuşmazlıklar, sonuçları olduğu kadar çözüm aşamaları ile de önem arz etmektedir. Süreç esnasında uyuşmazlıkların çözümünde değişen usullere tanıklık edilmiş ve iki dönemin uygulama farklılıkları gözlemlenebilmiştir. Bu açıdan mesele, GATT ile DTÖ’nün uyuşmazlık çözüm yollarının karşılaştırılmasını sağlamaktadır. Uyuşmazlıkların kayda değer bir özelliği, ticaretin devamlılığı ve çevrenin korunması ikilemini uluslararası hukuk merkezinde değerlendirme ve zamanla değişen yaklaşımları ele alma imkânı tanımasıdır. Bunların yanında ABD’nin yunusları koruyucu iç hukuk düzenlemelerine diğer devletlerin uymasını beklemesi meseleyi uluslararası hukuk açısından ele almaya değer kılmaktadır.

GENDER DIVERSITY ON BOARDS OF DIRECTORS IN JOINT-STOCK CORPORATIONS IN TURKEY: COMBINING HARD AND SOFT LAW
Authors: TORE İrem
Published: December 2022

The under-representation of women on corporate boards has received increased attention in terms of
corporate governance over the last decade. The necessity of gender diversity on corporate boards is mostly
based on economic rationale, which is insufficient due to two reasons; first, it is not always possible to find
a correlation between female participation on boards and the interests of the shareholders, and second such
a correlation for male members of the board is not sought. The economic rationale needs to be reinforced
with an equality rationale that emphasizes women's rights to promote gender diversity on corporate
boards. Equality rationale is precisely what corporate governance regulations can provide.It is debatable which type of regulation is the most effective among the strategies to increase the share of
women on the boards. The regulations can be grouped under two broad types. The first includes the
introduction of mandatory quota for women on boards, along with sanctions. The second approach is of a
more voluntary character. The Corporate Governance Principles of Turkey, which regulates gender
diversity on the corporate boards, have been drawn up with the latter being preferred. However, statistics
show that Turkey is showing slow progress in this regard. This signals that the soft law approach did not
have the desired impact on increasing the proportion of women on the corporate boards.

Published: December 2022

A highly reliable and efficient communication system is needed for a vehicle to navigate and drive to the destination without human control (known as an autonomous or self-driving vehicle). In this work, we consider various parameters for the antenna design, ensuring reliable communication amongst vehicles and infrastructure. Specifically, we consider the type of antenna, the method used, operating frequency, substrate type (with thickness and permittivity), size and shape, gain, and bandwidth. An optimal threshold value or range of these parameters is identified. Moreover, a complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) metamaterial (MTM) based hexagonal bowtie antenna for a high gain V2V communication environment is presented. This antenna covers sub- 6 GHz fifth generation (5G) bands (3.15-3.95 GHz) and Wi-Fi band 2.4GHz. Printing was done on a low-cost FR4 substrate for the radiating patch. Antenna Bandwidth is enhanced using a partial ground plane. The radiating layer is based on hexagonal patches printed on the double side of the substrate, and the CSSR structure is etched from patches to enrich antenna gain and bandwidth. More importantly, the proposed CSRR employed antenna provides gain and bandwidth of 1.6dBi / 6 dBi and 100MHz/ 8000MHz at 2.4GHz /3.5GHz, respectively. A highly known software, CST microwave studio, simulates the proposed antenna. Simulated and measured results make this arrangement a potential candidate for 5G high gain V2V communication.

Published: December 2022

The area of information retrieval (IR) has taken on increasing importance in recent years. This field is now of interest to large communities in several application domains (security, medicine, aeronautics, etc.). IR studies find relevant information from the semi-unstructured type of data. As the information resources generated after the search can be extensive in quantity and different in quality, it is essential to rank these results according to the degree of relevance. This paper focuses on text information retrieval (TIR) and emphasizes the importance of each IR approach. This study presents insightful aspects of TIR and provides a comparative study between some proposed approaches and models. Each model offers IR advantages and suffers from several limitations.

Published: December 2022

Human trafficking of athletes was recognized by the U.S. Department of State (2020) Trafficking in Persons Report and issued a call for nationwide and international public awareness campaigns. Many aspiring athletes are lured into human trafficking with the false promise of playing for a professional team, which may involve crossing state and national borders. Social workers, in particular, are at the forefront of the anti-trafficking movement (Enrile, 2018; Healy, 2015). This commentary provides a playbook with targeted initiatives sport social workers can take to battle human trafficking in sport.

Published: December 2022

Body pressure dispersion mattresses are useful tools for preventing pressure ulcers in patients with limited mobility who experience prolonged body weight-related compression loads at their body contact areas over time. The objective of this study is to propose and optimize a multicell finite element (FE) model of foam mattress to prevent patients from developing pressure ulcers (bed sores), by improving the contact pressure distribution on the upper mattress surface and immersion in the mattress. The NSGA-II multi-objective genetic algorithm was used to predict different configurations of cell materials to provide a more comfortable sleep. Our mattress model contains many cells (50 × 50 × 50), each of which can contain one of the nine different foam firmnesses. The NSGA-II algorithm attempts to combine the properties of soft and firm foams into a single mattress. however, the complexity and intersection of the fitness function objectives and the high number of possible chances forced the optimal solutions set to extend into the area under the result of foams that have a compressive strength between soft and firm. Based on the overall optimization results, the standard deviation ranged from 0.00325 to 0.00175 MPa and the maximum mattress immersion ranged from 50 mm to less than 20 mm. Mattresses with optimal configurations disperse body pressure smoothly to fit the patient's body shape.
Maryam Jameelah and the Affective Economy of Islamic Revival
Authors: Howe Justine
Published: December 2022

This article uses Sara Ahmed’s concept of “affective economy” to explore the relationship between affect and gender in the transnational Islamic Revival in the 1960s and 1970s. It does so by examining the work of Maryam Jameelah (neé Margaret Marcus, 1934-2012), the American Jewish convert to Islam who moved to Pakistan in 1962 at the invitation of A’la Abul Mawdudi, the prominent revivalist leader and thinker. For her English-speaking audiences, Jameelah was a potent messenger for a revivalist ideology that aimed to reinvigorate an Islamic politics in opposition to Western capitalism and materialism. I argue that the affective economy of Jameelah’s writing help to explain the mobility of her ideas across national borders. Through affect, Jameelah’s writings produce a cumulative set of associations around female bodies that were intended to galvanize Muslim attachments to the umma and to draw absolute boundaries between Islam and the West.

Thrombocytopenia is a thrombopoietin (TPO)-related disorder with very limited treatment options, and can be lifethreatening. There are major problems with typical thrombopoietic agents targeting TPO signaling, so it is urgent to discover a novel TPO-independent mechanism involving thrombopoiesis and potential druggable targets. We developed a drug screening model by the multi-grained cascade forest (gcForest) algorithm and found that 3,8-di-O-methylellagic acid 2- O-glucoside (DMAG) (10, 20 and 40 μM) promoted megakaryocyte differentiation in vitro. Subsequent investigations revealed that DMAG (40 mM) activated ERK1/2, HIF-1b and NF-E2. Inhibition of ERK1/2 blocked megakaryocyte differentiation and attenuated the upregulation of HIF-1b and NF-E2 induced by DMAG. Megakaryocyte differentiation induced by DMAG was inhibited via knockdown of NF-E2. In vivo studies showed that DMAG (5 mg/kg) accelerated platelet recovery and megakaryocyte differentiation in mice with thrombocytopenia. The platelet count of the DMAG-treated group recovered to almost 72% and 96% of the count in the control group at day 10 and 14, respectively. The platelet counts in the DMAG-treated group were almost 1.5- and 1.3-fold higher compared with those of the irradiated group at day 10 and 14, respectively. Moreover, DMAG (10, 25 and 50 mM) stimulated thrombopoiesis in zebrafish. DMAG (5 mg/kg) could also increase platelet levels in c-MPL knockout (c-MPL-/-) mice. In summary, we established a drug screening model through gcForest and demonstrated that DMAG promotes megakaryocyte differentiation via the ERK/HIF1/NF-E2 pathway which, importantly, is independent of the classical TPO/c-MPL pathway. The present study may provide new insights into drug discovery for thrombopoiesis and TPO-independent regulation of thrombopoiesis, as well as a promising avenue for thrombocytopenia treatment.
Aineenopettajaksi opiskelevien koulukokemuksia sukupuolistuneesta väkivallasta
Authors: Rautiainen Matti , Husso Marita , Piippo Sisko
Published: December 2022

Artikkelissa tarkastelemme sukupuolistunutta väkivaltaa aineenopettajaopiskelijoiden koulukokemusten näkökulmasta. Merkittävä määrä nuorista altistuu väkivallan ja häirinnän eri muodoille. Kouluterveyskyselyjen mukaan erityisesti tyttöihin ja sukupuolivähemmistöihin kohdistuva väkivalta ja seksuaalinen häirintä ovat viime vuosien aikana lisääntyneet huolestuttavasti. Koulun ja opettajien rooli ilmiöön puuttumisessa on tärkeä, samoin opettajankoulutuksen, jonka aikana opiskelijoiden olisi tärkeä tulla tietoiseksi väkivallan ilmenemismuodoista ja niihin puuttumisen mahdollisuuksista. Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin fokusryhmähaastatteluilla, joihin osallistui yhteensä 18 aineenopettajaopiskelijaa. Analyysissa hyödynnettiin laadullisen sisällönanalyysin menetelmiä. Teemoittelu eteni kaksivaiheisesti niin, että aluksi luotiin alaluokkia, ja niiden pohjalta laajempia yläluokkia, joita syntyi analyysin tuloksena kaikkiaan neljä: 1) nimittely, 2) seksuaalinen ahdistelu ja fyysinen väkivalta, 3) huhut ja juorut sekä 4) toimintakulttuurin rakenteellinen väkivalta. Yleisimmin mainittuja sukupuolistuneen väkivallan muotoja olivat nimittely, seksuaalinen ahdistelu ja fyysinen väkivalta. Opettajaopiskelijat kertoivat kokevansa epävarmuutta pohtiessaan omaa rooliaan opettajana suhteessa sukupuolistuneeseen väkivaltaan puuttumiseen. Niin opettajien peruskoulutuksessa kuin täydennyskoulutuksessa olisi tärkeää pohtia keinoja väkivallan kokemusten jakamiseen, ilmiötä koskevan ymmärryksen lisäämiseen, väkivallan ehkäisemiseen ja siihen puuttumiseen koulun arjessa.

The background of this research is the lack of facilities and infrastructure for the implementation of guidance and counseling services so that it creates obstacles for students to get services from guidance and counseling teachers. The purpose of this study is that researchers want to examine in depth the problematic components of guidance and counseling services. This study used a descriptive qualitative method, with research subjects being guidance and counseling teachers. The techniques used to collect data in this study were observation and in-depth interviews. Data analysis uses the theory of Miless & Huberman, and test the validity of the data using triangulation. The results of the study found that first the lack of facilities and infrastructure became an obstacle for students to get responsive services in the form of individual counseling, students often felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable. Students also think that those who enter the BK room are people with problems. The second obstacle to the guidance and counseling service component is that there are counseling teachers who do not have an undergraduate counseling background, so they do not understand the implementation of guidance and counseling services. For the basic service component, individual planning and system support are going well, which is marked by students who are happy to get education, get more insight for career planning and have the confidence for further study. Collaboration between school stakeholders is going well for the advancement of guidance and counseling, namely supporting counseling teachers to continue further studies from bachelor to master's degree to support an increase in guidance and counseling teacher resources which have an impact on improving the quality of implementing guidance and counseling in schools.

Purpose: Macular edema, serous retinal detachment, and retinal pigment epithelial detachment have been reported in patients with nephrotic syndrome. However, there is limited data about macular thickness in children with nephrotic syndrome. The aim of this study was to compare the mean macular thickness in children with nephrotic syndrome and in a control group and to correlate it with visual acuity and level of proteinuria.Methods: The comparative cross-sectional study included 66 children aged 6 to 17 years with nephrotic syndrome and healthy control seen in two tertiary centers in Malaysia. We recorded demographic data, as well as visual acuity, level of proteinuria, and the mean macular thicknesses in both groups. The mean macular thickness was measured using Stratus optical coherence tomography according to nine areas of the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study map.Results: The mean foveal thickness was 238.15 ± 22.98 µm for children with nephrotic syndrome and 237.01 ± 22.60 µm for the control group. There was no significant difference in the mean macular thickness between the groups (p = 0.843). A significant correlation with visual acuity was observed in the superior outer macula (r = –0.41, p = 0.019), the nasal outer macula (r = –0.41, p = 0.019), and the inferior outer macula (r = –0.40, p = 0.021). There was no significant correlation between the mean macular thickness and level of proteinuria (p = 0.338), although those with higher levels of proteinuria demonstrated a trend towards increased macular thickness.Conclusions: The mean macular thickness in children with nephrotic syndrome was similar to that of healthy children. A significant correlation between the mean thickness of the outer macular layer and the presenting visual acuity was observed. There was no correlation between the mean macular thickness and the level of proteinuria.

Published: December 2022

Background: Human coronaviruses (HCoV) cause mild upper respiratory infections; however, in 2019, a novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), emerged, causing an acute respiratory disease pandemic. Coronaviruses exhibit marked epidemiological and clinical differences.Purpose: This study compared the clinical, laboratory, and radiographic findings of children infected with SARS-CoV-2 versus HCoV.Methods: SARS-CoV-2 data were obtained from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) registry and 4 dedicated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) hospitals. Medical records of children admitted with a single HCoV infection from January 2015 to March 2020 were collected from 10 secondary/tertiary hospitals. Clinical data included age, sex, underlying disease, symptoms, test results, imaging findings, treatment, and length of hospital stay.Results: We compared the clinical characteristics of children infected with HCoV (n=475) to those of children infected with SARS-CoV-2 (272 from KDCA, 218 from COVID-19 hospitals). HCoV patients were younger than KDCA patients (older than 9 years:3.6% vs. 75.7%; P<0.001) and patients at COVID-19 hospitals (2.0±2.9 vs 11.3±5.3; P<0.001). Patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection had a lower rate of fever (26.6% vs. 66.7%; P<0.001) and fewer respiratory symptoms than those with HCoV infection. Clinical severity, as determined by oxygen therapy and medication usage, was worse in children with HCoV infection. Children and adolescents with SARS-CoV-2 had less severe symptoms.Conclusion: Children and adolescents with COVID-19 had a milder clinical course and less severe disease than those with HCoV in terms of symptoms at admission, examination findings, and laboratory and radiology results.
Predicting COVID-19 transmission in a student population in Seoul, South Korea, 2020–2021
Authors: Lee Young Hwa , Kim Han Ho , Choe Young June
Published: December 2022

Background: As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmission depends on factors such as demography, comorbidity, and patterns of daily activity, a better understanding of the societal factors of the infection among students would be useful in planning prevention strategies. However, no studies to date have focused on societal factors associated with COVID-19 transmission among students.Purpose: This study aimed to characterize the factors of a student population associated with COVID-19 transmission in the metropolitan city of Seoul, South Korea.Methods: We analyzed the epidemiological data for laboratory-confirmed (reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction) COVID-19 cases collected by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency and Ministry of Education from January 2020 to October 2021. We calculated the global Moran’s index, local Moran’s index, and Getis-Ord’s index. A spatial regression analysis was performed to identify sociodemographic predictors of COVID-19 at the district level.Results: The global spatial correlation estimated by Moran’s index was 0.082 for the community population and 0.064 for the student population. The attack rate of adults aged 30– 59 years (P=0.049) was associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 attack rates in students, whereas the number of students per primary- (P=0.003) and middle- (P=0.030) school class was inversely associated with risk of COVID-19 attack among students.Conclusion: We found that COVID-19 transmission was more attributable to the community-level burden in students than adults. We recommend that public health initiatives target initiatives that protect students from COVID-19 when the community carries a high burden of infection.

Published: December 2022

Este trabalho investiga em que termos as habilidades geométricas da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) e dos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN+) do ensino médio privilegiam as teorias do pensamento geométrico dos Van Hiele e das habilidades geométricas de Hoffer. Realizamos um breve aporte explicativo sobre os documentos citados e as referidas teorias que embasaram a análise. Metodologicamente utilizamos a Análise de Conteúdo e obtivemos o material a partir do recorte das habilidades dos documentos relacionados à Geometria. O estudo revela uma predominância das habilidades de aplicação e do nível da ordenação em ambos os documentos e que as habilidades lógicas estão pouco presentes nos PCN+. Porém, constatamos que o nível rigor não é contemplado em nenhum deles. Concluímos também que o nível de dedução formal se encontra mais presente na BNCC e que essas diferenças podem ser explicadas devido aos novos objetivos deste documento.
