O Poder Judiciário no pensamento de Oliveira Vianna
Authors: Guerra Maria Pia
Published: December 2023

Between 1920 and 1930, Oliveira Vianna theoretically formulated a new model of the judiciary, aiming for its integration into a corporatist-authoritarian power project that sought to reorganize society and the state. Vianna envisioned a robust judiciary, notwithstanding the dominance of the executive power and administrative agencies. This strength would emerge from the use of the "legal technique" of American legal realism. Moreover, due to its centralization in the Union, judges were expected to play a role in restraining deviations of legislative power and local authorities. The result was an institutional arrangement under tension, where the judiciary served the organization of the Nation but held a position subordinate to that of the head of the national executive power. These tensions reveal legal dilemmas in both authoritarian and democratic contexts.

Published: December 2023

Cooperative is a form of economic organization based on the principles of cooperation and shared ownership between its members. The dominant form of cooperative in Jombang Regency is the Savings and Loans Cooperative (KSP) whose activities are similar to People's Credit Banks, but in practice it turns out they do not have the principles of prudence and risk management. The scope of the KSP is very limited because it can only accept deposits or provide loans to members/prospective members. This training is in the form of risk management training. It is hoped that KSP Delta Surya Purnama management will gain additional knowledge about the importance of the precautionary principle. The implementation method is carried out through training for 2 (two) days, in collaboration with LPPM ITB Ahmad Dahlan Lamongan. The result of this training is an increase in management's understanding and ability to manage the risks of deposit and lending activities, for example in calculating and converting interest rates, as well as forming reserves for uncollectible loans, analyzing and binding credit agreements

Pharmacogenetic testing (PT) is a modern tool in the doctor’s practice, which allows to make the right clinical decision indiffi cult cases, when the expected result of medical measures is not achieved. It is clear that certain metabolic processes in the human body, as well as a number of diseases, are genetically programmed. Therefore, despite the large number of unexplained mechanisms of individual response to drugs, genetic testing occupies one of the leading positions among methods of selecting drug therapy in complex clinical cases. However, the successful implementation of this promising method must overcome a number of obstacles, including limited evidence of eff ectiveness, ethical, legal, and social factors. The purpose of this review is to highlight modern concepts and practical aspects of the use of PT. The article addresses the problem of expanding the indications for PT when it is not limited to preventive use only. PT allows to identify drugs associated with an increased risk of causing side eff ects, with a narrow therapeutic index, to reduce the number of drugs in treatment, to choose the dosage of the drug. A variety of PT platforms can be used in a physician’s offi ce, which can be broadly divided into two categories – genotyping- based tests and sequencing- based tests. Depending on the gene being tested, diff erent algorithms can be used to generate results. Some gene variants can be described in terms of metabolic activity or general function, while others can only be described as present or absent. Results for gene variants can also be reported as normal, intermediate or low function for the corresponding gene. Pharmacogenetic clinical decision support systems (CDSS) are computer- based systems that assist healthcare providers in prescribing medications at the point of care. These systems provide physicians and other healthcare providers with appropriately fi ltered pharmacogenetic information, such as drug-gene interaction alerts or patient- specifi c treatment recommendations. A pharmacogenetic CDSS can either be integrated into a local hospital information system or used as a stand- alone application such as a web service or mobile application. Pharmacogenetics can increase the quantity and quality of information available to pregnant women and their physicians about medication use during pregnancy. Implementation of PT recommendations intoroutine pediatric practice requires carefully coordinated strategies at the national, regional, and health system levels. To date, pharmacogenetics provides mosaic information on the association between response to drug therapy and genetic background. It is expected that the next step will be a study in a larger group of participants to investigate the contribution of epigenetic factors and to provide clinical recommendations for adjusting or selecting therapy based on the personal characteristics of the patient.

Narratives of ‘bad leadership‘: Experiences and perspectives of successful Icelandic female leaders
Authors: Einarsdóttir Sigrún Lilja , Svansson Einar
Published: December 2023

Conservative, male-oriented company culture makes the corporate ladder more slippery for women, who are probably more likely to deal with “bad leadership” from superiors. The lessons drawn from the experiences of women, who have ac[1]complished unusual success as top directors in their organizations, are important guidelines to improve management. This paper reports primary findings from an Icelandic study on the characteristics of exemplary Icelandic female leaders and top managers and their leadership styles. Data was collected through qualitative semi-structured interviews with a chosen group of women that have got nominations and/or prizes for excellent leadership record in recent years in Icelandic organizations. Participants provided various narratives on their experiences of bad leadership (mainly from men in management positions), the more experienced interviewees felt pressured at times in their career to assimilate themselves to the male culture in their corporations and that the glass ceiling was indeed visible until they tried to break it by pushing forward and obtain power positions. Majority of the interviewees had experienced tunnel-vision, narrow-mindedness and resistance to change among their male counterparts and tendencies of top-down management, arrogance and pride, leading to incompetent mode of communication that can lead to weaker, non-professional decision-making with lack of diversity and open dialog ending in worse results for the organizations. Findings indicated that unacceptable working conditions, and the implication of stress and too much workload can transform a good leader to demonstrate some characteristics of a bad leader.
Elisa Lynch: el libro de Orion (1870)

En octubre de 1870, utilizando su ya célebre seudónimo Orion, Héctor Varela publicó Elisa Lynch, su primer libro. La obra del director y columnista destacado de La Tribuna, entonces el diario porteño más leído, se había anunciado como la biografía de la famosa Elisa Lynch, cuestionada por su relación con el presidente paraguayo Francisco Solano López y su rol en los años de la Guerra de la Triple Alianza. El libro de Orion tuvo gran repercusión entre los y las lectoras, y suscitó numerosos comentarios bibliográficos en periódicos y revistas. Aquí proponemos una lectura de la novela a partir del análisis de sus circunstancias de escritura, publicación y circulación. Con este abordaje pretendemos pensar el libro en relación con la práctica periodística de su autor.
Formas de la episteme romántica en Severo Sarduy
Authors: Martínez Luciana
Published: December 2023

Esa figura anfibia que fue Severo Sarduy (escritor de ficción y poesía, pensador ensayista, artífice de una columna radial sobre ciencia, becario del gobierno cubano para estudiar pintura en Francia) propone en varios de sus ensayos, principalmente en Barroco (1974) y en Nueva inestabilidad (1987), que toda episteme de época es construida conjuntamente por ideas o imágenes de mundo afines que eclosionan en un determinado momento histórico tanto en la ciencia como en el arte. El acervo de nociones artísticas y científicas que a partir del siglo XX entran en esa sintonía no concertada a la que Sarduy llama retombée, funciona paralelamente en sus ficciones (en especial en Cobra, Colibrí y Cocuyo) en el trazado de ontologías subjetivas no binarias. En su concepción, la postulación de una estética que sea al mismo tiempo una episteme reactualiza la propuesta medular de la matriz del romanticismo, cuya motivación central en sus albores fue asimismo el cuestionamiento de los binarismos y la distribución compartimental que inauguraba el modelo atomista de la ciencia materialista clásica en el contexto de la Modernidad.

¿El movimiento feminista crea espacio urbano y nuevas maneras de (re)generar la ciudad? Un acercamiento al caso de Montevideo, Uruguay
Authors: Cardozo Delgado Sofía , Torre Nicolini Valentina
Published: December 2023

El presente artículo explora cómo los movimientos feministas en Montevideo han construido ciudad a través de la apropiación de espacios urbanos que promueven formas de habitar diversas. Se realiza un abordaje desde el concepto de derecho a la ciudad y la perspectiva del urbanismo feminista, que busca considerar las necesidades de grupos históricamente excluidos. Para ello, resulta fundamental reconocer que las ciudades han sido diseñadas desde una perspectiva masculina y analizar cómo los conflictos urbanos tienen su raíz en las violencias que experimentan las mujeres en su vida diaria y en la necesidad de resignificar y reclamar esos espacios. Se plantea un abordaje situado, atendiendo a las características de las nuevas formas de estar en el espacio público por parte de los feminismos latinoamericanos. A partir de la realización de un amplio análisis documental, entrevistas y observaciones sistemáticas, se profundiza en cómo el feminismo construye ciudad de diversas formas, tanto a nivel institucional como en la vida cotidiana. Resulta fundamental comprender los efectos que los movimientos feministas tienen en el ámbito urbano y la necesidad de identificar y abordar las conquistas, negociaciones, disputas y dificultades entre los diferentes actores involucrados. Así, e incorporando los aportes del urbanismo feminista, se aborda la capacidad de producción de estos conflictos, siguiendo la propuesta de Melé (2016), y se las categoriza en productividades de tipo políticas, jurídicas y territoriales. Se concluye que los efectos del movimiento feminista generan nuevas posibilidades para la construcción de una ciudad más justa.
Piquiá de Baixo, ¡reasentamiento ya! Asesoría técnica y autogestión del hábitat en la lucha contra la minería en Brasil
Authors: Lazarini Kaya
Published: December 2023

El objetivo de este artículo es debatir un proceso de producción social del hábitat a partir de la experiencia del reasentamiento de Piquiá de Baixo, en Açailândia, Maranhão, Brasil, comunidad víctima del impacto de la industria minera vinculada a la empresa Vale S.A. Identificaremos algunos potenciales emancipadores y restricciones que limitaron la autonomía para el reasentamiento de la comunidad. La metodología consiste en realizar un informe con reflexiones críticas fundamentadas en nuestra experiencia como parte del grupo de asesoría técnica a la comunidad, la cual abarcó tres momentos: el primero consistió en la construcción de una solución que permitió la autonomía en la concepción del espacio en el contexto del programa público “Minha Casa, Minha Vida – Entidades”; las actividades para el diseño del proyecto arquitectónico y urbanístico con atención a las cuestiones de género formaron parte del segundo momento; por último, el trabajo autogestivo para la ejecución de la obra. La conclusión nos indica, por un lado, los aspectos en que la potencialidad emancipatoria de la lucha por la producción del espacio ha impactado en el proyecto y generado una forma urbana específica, con el protagonismo de las mujeres. Por otro lado, se señalan las restricciones que limitaron la autonomía, derivadas del conflicto entre las dimensiones técnica y política del trabajo en la obra.
Direitos Humanos, Estudos Decoloniais e o Pacto Educacional Global
Authors: De Franco Clarissa , Filho Moacir Ferreira
Published: December 2023

O presente texto pretende demonstrar o papel da educação enquanto promotora do pacifismo tendo como base um estudo sobre os fundamentos da Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos com Jacques Maritain, em diálogo com os estudos decoloniais representados pelos autores Boaventura de Souza Santos e Catherine Walsh a partir de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa com objetivos descritivos de procedimento bibliográfico. Na análise, tendo como pressuposto o contexto contemporâneo, recorreu-se aos fundamentos da Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos vigente tendo como contraponto os estudos decoloniais que, do ponto de vista teórico, possuem algumas divergências em relação ao primeiro, mas vislumbram o mesmo objetivo inicial: garantir a defesa da humanidade e promover a dignidade da pessoa humana. Nota-se que, apesar de divergências, implantar a ecologia dos saberes por meio da interculturalidade crítica no sistema educacional representa um meio de defender os direitos humanos. Há um ponto em comum entre as teses expostas: a educação é o meio mais eficaz de pacificar as polarizações, dirimir opressões e promover a interculturalidade.

O tamanho ótimo de parcela é um importante aspecto a ser considerado no planejamento experimental. Assim, os objetivos deste estudo foram determinar o tamanho ótimo de parcela (Xo) para avaliar o número de vagens, o número de grãos e a produtividade de grãos de grão-de-bico (Cicer arietinum L.), cultivar BRS Cristalino, e verificar se Xo difere entre três métodos de estimação. Foi conduzido um ensaio de uniformidade com a cultura de grão-de-bico, cultivar BRS Cristalino. O ensaio de uniformidade foi dividido em 108 unidades experimentais básicas (UEB) de 1 m × 1 m. A UEB foi formada por duas fileiras de 1,0 m de comprimento, espaçadas 0,50 m entre fileiras, totalizando 1,0 m2. Foram avaliados os caracteres: número de vagens m-2, número de grãos m-2 e produtividade de grãos, em g m-2, de grão-de-bico de cada UEB. Foi determinado o tamanho ótimo de parcela por meio dos métodos da curvatura máxima modificado (CMM), do modelo linear de resposta com platô (LRP) e do modelo quadrático de resposta com platô (QRP). O tamanho ótimo de parcela difere entre os métodos, com valores de 15,70 m2 pelo QRP, 7,02 m2 pelo LRP e 4,31 m2 pelo CMM. O tamanho ótimo de parcela para avaliar o número de vagens, o número de grãos e a produtividade de grãos de grão-de-bico é 7,02 m2 e a precisão experimental estabiliza a partir desse tamanho.
LOSING STEAM: THE DEMISE OF THE “JAPANESE DREAM” AMONG PROSPECTIVE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Authors: Cavcic Antonija
Published: December 2023

Much like immigration, reasons to study abroad often relate to push and/or pull factors. Although attractive programs and courses can be major pulls for some prospective international students, financial matters such as tuition, living costs, and pathways to employment also have a significant influence. Since 2010 when Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) initiated projects and activities to promote the internationalization of universities, the number of inbound international students in Japan was steadily increasing, most of which were coming from East and Southeast Asia. This trend continued up until around 2018, and, understandably, rapidly declined in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and implementation of rigid border restrictions. While the pandemic undoubtedly played a major part in this downtrend, one cannot overlook the fact that enrollments and interest in studying in Japan was already losing steam. With its university rankings increasingly losing out to competitive universities in China and Singapore and its relatively low entry-level salaries amid a long-term recession, which has further been exacerbated by the weakened yen, the “Japanese dream” is arguably past its prime. While taking into account the contextual factors which influenced this trend, my study involved a critical discourse analysis of MEXT’s ambitious plan to somehow reverse this trend by bolstering further internationalization, attracting highly-skilled foreign talent and essentially saving a sinking ship. The findings from this study may give institutions in the education and employment sectors an opportunity to reassess their current support systems and programs for lucrative foreign talent.

THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS REGARDING STEAM EDUCATION AT PRESCHOOL AGE
Authors: Stârciogranu Țifrea Doina Florica
Published: December 2023

This article supports and promotes the introduction of STEAM education in preschool education and its advantages. Modern education is not a renunciation of the valuable heritage of the past, but a restructuring of its relationship with the future, a 180 degree turn of its point of departure. STEAM education is a challenge of the modern, technological world. Unlike the classical lessons in the traditional system of education where the teacher teaches the students, STEAM is an active, applied and constructivist method of "learning by doing". The children, regardless of their age, should be encouraged to think deeply, so that they have the chance to become innovators and leaders who can solve the most pressing challenges facing our future. STEM and STEAM projects put the foundations of an openness to concepts that would normally come across a lot later and much more theoretical. Postmodern education is adapting day by day the needs of tomorrow's future adults, the key to success being knowing how to adapt and how to use what you have learned, for continuous change and development.
Medals and likes: A methodology for big data image dataset analysis of Olympic athletic beauty on Instagram
Authors: Gaspar Teixeira Carlos Roberto , Tietzmann Roberto
Published: December 2023

This article seeks to understand how the Cultural Analytics’ methodological approach and computational tools help interpret large image datasets. A set of 87 730 images of 389 Olympic athletes was collected from Instagram and analyzed, featuring a timespan from September 2011 to November 2020. The image set was structured and organized using computer vision processing combined with interactive visualization tools (Google Vision, PixPlot, Image Network Plotter). The analysis, mixing quantitative and qualitative methods, identified patterns represented as image clusters. Regular personal computers served as the hardware platform. Approximately 60 % of the athletes’ posts were related to non-sports topics, highlighting common characteristics of the visual culture disseminated on Instagram, such as selfies, lifestyle, leisure, travel, and food. Images of sports content, considered a central aspect of the research, had a lower frequency of publications featuring topics such as competitions, training, exercises, and sports practices in general. Beyond this result, the study offers a possible technical framework for similar researchers using large image datasets.
Relation de collaboration et de pouvoir entre enseignant·e·s spécialisé·e·s et enseignant·e·s ordinaires au sein de l’école inclusive

Cet article présente une recherche aboutissant à une proposition de théorisation de la relation de collaboration entre les enseignant·e·s ordinaires et les enseignant·e·s spécialisé·e·s exerçant en milieu ordinaire. Les résultats montrent que la politique à visée inclusive inscrit les enseignant·e·s spécialisé·e·s dans une norme professionnelle ambiguë : la réserve participante. Pour répondre aux besoins des élèves à besoins particuliers, elles·ils se donnent le mandat d’influencer les pratiques des enseignant·e·s ordinaires et sont alors mené·e·s à rechercher deux formes de pouvoir. Cela étant, les enseignant·e·s ordinaires, mais aussi les normes du convivialisme, de la neutralité bienveillante et de la caring attitude exercent un effet de contre-pouvoir.

Les résultats révèlent une grande proximité entre les conditions de formation et les conditions de travail effectives du corps enseignant spécialisé. Ils soulignent leur singularité, leur diversité, tout comme leur caractère formateur, mais dévoilent également les risques d’une telle proximité pour la formation des stagiaires.
Effect of Substituting White Cement with Ceramic Waste Powders (CWP) on the Performance of a Mortar Based on Crushed Sand
Authors: Mezidi Amar , Merabti Salem , Benyamina Smain , Sadouki Mustapha
Published: December 2023

The enormous quantities of ceramic waste lead us to its use in the construction field to solve both an environmental and an economic problem. The present study aims to recycle ceramic waste powders (CWP) to produce mortars. To this end, five crushed sand (CS) based mortar mixes with prismatic dimensions of 4x4x16 cm³ were prepared by partially replacing 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% white cement with CWP. Tests were carried out to assess bulk density, compressive strength, and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV). The results obtained showed that increasing the proportion of ceramic waste powder (CWP) in mortar mixes led to a decrease in bulk density, compressive strength, and UPV in the different mortars. In addition, linear correlations were observed between the different variables studied.

Authors: Shen Jiumei , Zhang Xiang , Zhang Lei , Hu Lingling
Published: December 2023

This paper proposes a method based on visual communication to generate two-dimensional motion graphics that can enhance the perception of depth and three-dimensional structure in stereoscopic vision. Through eye tracking and calibration, gaze points in 3D space are calculated and applied to Chinese traditional elements in visual communication design. Feature vectors and improved plain Bayesian classifier methods are used to achieve user gesture recognition in virtual design and construct interaction design scenarios based on virtual reality technology. Lastly, the performance impact of augmented reality technology on traditional element design is investigated through a questionnaire survey. Based on the eight samples of conventional elements, the evaluation factors with the highest scores were found to be 10. In the subjective assessment of visual communication design, traditional components fall between mediocre and good, according to the ratings of all 18 assessment factors, which range from 0.2 to 1. The study presented in this paper effectively integrates virtual reality technology into the graphical design of traditional elements, significantly enhancing their visual expression.

Secondly, in the context of deep learning, the use of deep learning for the calculation of the human center of gravity information can improve the efficiency of human center of gravity vector angle feature extraction while using the vector pinch angle cosine body force to obtain the human limb pinch angle features, followed by posture estimation method to obtain the body upper and lower body orientation features, and then through the improved Open Pose network model will be converted from video stream data to the human body key point coordinates data, and then the ALSTM-LSTM model will be applied to the video stream data. Then, the ALSTM-LSTM model was applied to the sports teaching movement analysis and empirically analyzed for sports teaching in colleges and universities. According to the findings, the ALSTM-LSTM model has the best performance in all indexes, while the SVM has the worst performance. In physical education, through quality practice in the classroom, the reinforcement of the sports club and the maintenance of the extracurricular group “Gudong” running, the students’ physical indicators have been improved. This study is conducive to improving the current decline in college students’ physical health and is also of great practical significance in effectively improving the overall level of college students’ physical fitness.
Optimization of urban intelligent transportation travel service system based on feature extraction and traffic prediction
Authors: He Chunhong
Published: December 2023

The urban intelligent transportation travel service system can effectively improve the quality of transportation travel, but the current system has certain deficiencies. This paper from two aspects to improve and analyze. On the one hand, the point-level artificial features are modeled through relevant mathematical models, and the citizens’ travel feature extraction model is designed based on a stack self-encoder after smoothing the artificial features. On the other hand, a traffic flow prediction model was designed through the temporal and spatial features of urban traffic, respectively, and combined with the spatio-temporal correlation feature design to predict the urban traffic flow. In addition, the effects of travel mode extraction and traffic flow prediction are analyzed to explore the optimization effect of the travel system. The results show that when the time value is taken as the 90s, the corresponding coding sparsity and weight are obtained as 50 and 0.05, respectively, and the average accuracy and average recall of the traffic modes reach 0.9. When the number of neurons is set to 30, the gap of the traffic flow in the peak is about 80, the gap of the traffic flow in the rest of the time period is about 10, and the relative error value is within 0.1. This study is able to optimize the intelligent traffic travel service system.

Authors: Al-Abdwais Ahmed H.
Published: December 2023

Geopolymer concrete is a new concrete technology that emerged as an alternative to conventional concrete by replacing traditional Portland cement with geopolymer binders. Strengthening of concrete structures using CFRP composites has become an essential technique last decades. Most of the studies were conducted on conventional concrete of Portland cement. In this research, an experimental and finite element analysis has been conducted to assess the bonding properties between geopolymer concrete substrate and CFRP composites using near-surface mounted strengthening system. The program consisted of concrete prisms bonded with NSM CFRP laminate and tested using single-lap shear test set-up with different bond lengths. Bond-slip behaviour has also been evaluated. The experimental results exhibited significant bonding properties, achieving an average bonding stress between 8.97 and 15.58 relative to the bonding length. The numerical analysis showed comparable results and a good correlation with that of experimental work.

The aim of this study was to confirm whether a rapid intravenous glucose administration can lead to a significant drop in blood potassium levels in cattle. For this study, seven cattle were used according to internationally recognized guidelines for animal welfare. Glucose at a dose of 1 g.kg−1 body weight was administrated intravenously and then blood samples were taken before and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours after administration of glucose for measurement of potassium and glucose blood concentrations. For statistical analysis of glucose effects on both glucose and potassium levels one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures was used. ANOVA showed a strong significant effect of the glucose administration on plasma glucose levels (P < 0.001). The glucose administration resulted in a mean plasma increase from 4.2 mmol.l−1 to 21.2 mmol.l−1 within the first minutes after the administration followed by a steady decrease back to the initial values. In contrast, ANOVA showed no significant effect of the glucose administration on plasma potassium levels. In conclusion, the glucose does not have a potassium-lowering effect when administered in a single large intravenous dose.

Objective

QL0911, a recombinant human thrombopoietin mimetic peptide-Fc fusion protein, is a romiplostim (Nplate®) biosimilar used to treat primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). This phase III study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of QL0911 in adult patients with chronic primary ITP over a 24-week treatment period.

Methods

We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III study in patients diagnosed with primary ITP for at least 12 months who had received at least one first-line ITP treatment with no response or recurrence after treatment, or who relapsed after splenectomy at 44 sites in China. Patients were randomly allocated (2:1 ratio) to QL0911 or placebo injection subcutaneously once weekly at an initial dose of 1 μg/kg for 24 weeks. The doses were adjusted to maintain the target platelet counts from 50 × 109/L to 200 × 109/L. Patients and investigators were blinded to the assignment. The primary endpoints were the proportion of patients who achieved a durable platelet response at week 24 (platelet count, ≥ 50 × 109/L during 6 of the last 8 weeks of treatment) and safety. The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05621330).

Results

Between October 2019 and December 2021, 216 patients were randomly assigned (QL0911,144; placebo,72). A durable platelet response was achieved by significantly more patients in the QL0911 group (61.8%, 95% CI: 53.3-69.8; P < 0.0001) than in the placebo group (0%). The mean duration of platelet responses was 15.9 (SE: 0.43) weeks with QL0911, and 1.9 (SE:0.26) week with placebo. Consistent results were achieved in subgroup analyses categorized by baseline splenectomy status (yes/no), concomitant ITP treatment (yes/no), and baseline platelet count (≤ 10 × 109/L, > 10 × 109/L, ≤ 20 × 109/L, > 20 × 109/L, and < 30 × 109/L). The incidence of TEAEs was comparable between the QL0911 and the placebo groups (91.7% and 88.9%, respectively). The most common adverse events overall were ecchymosis (28.5% for QL0911 vs. 37.5% for placebo), upper respiratory tract infections respiratory tract infections (31.9% for QL0911 vs. 27.8% for placebo), and gingival bleeding (17.4% for QL0911 vs. 26.4% for placebo).

Conclusion

QL0911 was well-tolerated and increased and maintained platelet counts in adults with ITP. QL0911, a biosimilar to romiplostim (Nplate®), may be a novel treatment option for patients with ITP who have failed or relapsed from first-line treatment in China. Ongoing studies will provide further data on long-term efficacy and safety in such patient populations.
Food challenges: Patient selection, predictors, component testing, and decision points
Authors: Wang Julie
Published: December 2023

Background: Oral food challenges are commonly used when there is uncertainty based on a clinical history as to whether a food allergy exists and to assess whether a food allergy has been outgrown. Methods: A narrative review was performed, synthesizing
available evidence in the literature. Results: Because food challenges are generally multi-hour procedures that carry the risk for potentially severe allergic reactions, careful patient selection is important. Allergy tests can provide additional supportive information
to guide decision-making but do not have sufficient diagnostic accuracy to replace food challenges in most circumstances. Conclusion: Clinical history provides important clues with regard to the likelihood that a reaction may occur and should be combined with patient and
family preferences and allergy test results when making decisions about pursuing food challenges.
Quality of life and psychological issues associated with food allergy
Authors: Greiwe Justin
Published: December 2023

Food allergies (FA) pose risks beyond just the physical harm caused by anaphylaxis. The psychological consequences associated with an FA diagnosis can arguably be more detrimental for long-term health and quality of life than the consequences of an actual reaction. This can be seen
in the hypervigilance of patients and caregivers surrounding mealtime, limited social interactions with peers, strained familial relationships, and increased reluctance to travel.1 More than 40% of children with FA have experienced at least one severe food-induced reaction. Given
the need for daily nourishment, the potential for a very small amount leading to a life-threatening reaction is real, so it is not surprising that fear and anxiety can overwhelm patients with this condition.1,2 Allergists have a responsibility to recognize
the difference between adaptive versus maladaptive anxiety. Whereas the demands of a busy office can often dissuade prolonged in-depth conversations about mental health, there are several validated tools that can be used to quickly and efficiently identify patients at risk. Allergists can
play an important role in how an FA diagnosis is conceptualized and whether families leave the office with confidence or with excessive amounts of fear. Instilling a healthy respect for foods without crippling families with anxiety should be the goal of any clinic visit. To provide optimal
support and treatment for patients with increased stress and anxiety, there needs to be a more substantial and easily accessible network of mental health professionals integrated within FA treatment centers so that patients and their families have the resources to address their mental health
needs.
