Published: April 2022

Honey has been used as a traditional remedy for various health benefits. This study investigated the potential of honey against the onset of autoimmune diabetes and its associated secondary complications in type 1 diabetic (T1D) experimental animals. Autoimmune diabetes was induced in Sprague Dawley rats, and at the same time, the rats were treated with honey or metformin. Sandwich ELISAs were used to estimate blood glucose, hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), total cholesterol, and triglycerides. Histopathological examinations determined the T1D-induced lesions on kidneys, pancreas, cornea, and retina. Treatment of rats with honey during the course of T1D induction showed a significant reduction in fasting-blood-glucose and HbA1c (p< 0.01), and total lipid profile was also improved (p< 0.05). Not only these, but honey also reduced the T1D-induced lesions in the kidney, pancreas, and cornea/retina (p< 0.05). Metformin showed similar effects and was used as a positive control. In conclusion, honey showed therapeutic potential against the onset of autoimmune diabetes, as it reduces blood glucose/HbA1c and improves the lipid profile by reducing the plasma levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins (LDL), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), and triglycerides. Moreover, it also showed protective potential against the development of diabetic nephropathy, pancreatitis, and retinopathy.

Objectives

To mitigate the incidence of recurrent stroke in patients, dual antiplatelet therapy comprising aspirin and clopidogrel is usually administered. Clopidogrel is a prodrug and its bioactivation is catalyzed by cytochrome P450 (CYP)2C19. The main objective of this work was to determine the prevalence of CYP2C19*2 carriers in Saudi ischemic stroke patients and assess the suitability of using genotyping to guide antiplatelet therapy in a university hospital setup.

Methods

This prospective (2018–2019) study was conducted on 256 patients (age 61 ± 12.5) clinically diagnosed with ischemic stroke who were genotyped using Spartan RX CYP2C19 assay.

Results

From the total patient group (256), upon admission, 210 patients were prescribed either aspirin, clopidogrel or dual antiplatelet therapy. Of the 27 patients with the CYP2C19*2 allele who were prescribed clopidogrel (18) or dual antiplatelet therapy (9), only 21 patients could be followed up for a period of six months post stroke event, in addition to 21 age- and sex-matched patients with the normal allele. The CYP2C19*2 allele carriers had a statistically significant increased risk of recurrent stroke compared to patients carrying the normal allele.

Conclusions

This study shows the suitability of using genotyping to guide antiplatelet therapy in ischemic stroke patients in a clinical setting.

Authors: Alhilo Iman , Alhilo Samir , Alkhatib Buthaina , Al-Shorman Alaa
Published: April 2022

Objectives

Hyperthyroidism is characterized by increasing production of thyroid hormone (TH) and decreasing of thyroid stimulation hormone (TSH) secretion. The treatment of hyperthyroidism includes such as anti-thyroid drugs, radioiodine, and thyroidectomy have many side effects without complete curing results. We described a successful treatment of hyperthyroidism patient with dietary-herbal supplementation with wet cupping without any medicine.

Case presentation

A 29-years female, blood analysis showed that she had low TSH (0.012 mlU/mL), and normal levels of T3 and T4. After completing 16 weeks on Carbimazole, TSH value still low (0.024 mlU/mL) and urticaria was appeared. She decided to stop Carbimazole and try alternative therapy choices. She received wet cupping and dietary-herbal supplementations (including royal jelly, green barley grass and Taraxaf®) for two months. Notably, TSH values was increased during-after intervention and urticaria was disappeared.

Conclusions

Alternative therapy could be a beneficial choice for hyperthyroidism treatment without any side effects or complications under physician supervision.
„Nulla dies sine linea“
Authors: Grage Joachim
Published: April 2022

The article explores the question to what extent Søren Kierkegaard’s journals, unpublished during his lifetime, manifest a Protestant work ethic in the sense of Max Weber. The journals bear witness to a daily writing process that provides information about Kierkegaard’s conception of his profession as a religious writer. They can be placed in the tradition of pietistic diaries and testify to the awareness of being called as an author. By focusing on the two terms produktivitet and virksomhed, which Kierkegaard uses to reflect on his own activity, numerous parallels can be drawn with Weber’s „concept of profession in ascetic Protestantism“. Accordingly, Kierkegaard speaks of an „intellectual capital“ that he has earned and that he leaves to a posterity without being able to dispose of the use of this inheritance.
The Population Size of Muḥammad’s Mecca and the Creation of the Quraysh
Authors: Robinson Majied
Published: April 2022

In this paper we will show how Qurashī patrilines and marriage records can be statistically analysed to generate an estimate of the tribe’s size at the time of Muḥammad. By extension this will also give us an estimate for the population size of Mecca. We will begin by using the marriage data preserved in a genealogical work to identify a cohort of adult Qurashī male contemporaries of Muḥammad. We will then divide this cohort into men who had brothers versus those who did not. It will be shown that this ratio is exactly what we would expect if we were modelling a complete population and therefore it cannot be a sample. With this in place we can extrapolate the number of women and dependants that would have been linked to each man, giving us an estimate of the tribe’s size in the period. Supplementing this with selected historiographical data will give us the population size of Mecca. The resulting findings raise a series of questions concerning Qurashī origins that will then be addressed by applying a similar methodology to the eras before Muḥammad’s. This will illuminate the manner and timing of the emergence of the Quraysh as a distinct entity.
Kant’s Political Justification of Social Welfare
Authors: Fang Bo
Published: April 2022

Whether the justification at stake is ethical or juridical, all attempts to argue for the welfare principle in Kant’s metaphysics of morals are unsuccessful. This principle cannot be justified a priori in Kant’s context. However, it is not only possible but also necessary to argue for a certain degree of social welfare in politics as the practice of right; otherwise, Kant’s project of political practice, with enlightenment as its core concept, will inevitably fail. Enlightenment requires that the state be committed to reducing the impact of an unequal social structure on individuals so as to preserve the possibility of their enlightenment. However, it also imposes limits on state-sponsored social welfare because excessive social welfare could lead to a general minority.

Published: April 2022

The effects of different soaking times and cycles of deep cryogenic treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Co28.5Cr21.5Fe20Ni26Mo4 medium entropy alloys were studied. The results show that the maximum hardness and compress strength were 364 HV and 3153 MPa after cryogenic deep treatment for 8 h, which were increased by about 9.97% and 33.32%, respectively. The maximum hardness and compressive strength were 375 HV and 3039 MPa, which were increased by about 13.29% and 28.50%, respectively, after three deep cryogenic cyclic times. The reason is that μ phase is rich in Mo, and Mo element has high strength and hardness. After deep cryogenic treatment, the agglomeration of μ phase in the alloys was improved, the distribution of μ phase was more uniform, the content of μ phase was increased, and the content of Mo element in the μ phase was increased, so that the strengthening effect of μ phase was enhanced.

Published: April 2022

This study aims to characterize and evaluate the effects of graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) added to the epoxy matrix and the fiber stacking sequence on the mechanical and impact responses of carbon/aramid hybrid composites. For this purpose, Aramid/Glass/Aramid and Glass/Aramid/Glass stacking sequences as well as full Aramid and Glass fiber configurations were used in an epoxy matrix with various contents (0.1, 0.25, 0.5 wt%) of GnPs. Tensile and flexural tests were conducted per mechanical characterization and low-velocity impact (LVI) tests with 30 J impact energy were performed by a drop-weight impact test. According to results, aramid fiber location has a significant effect on the peak load values, absorbed energy, and displacement of the hybrid composites. In addition, the inclusion of 0.25 wt% GnPs into the epoxy matrix increased the LVI properties of pure glass and hybrid fiber-reinforced composites. However, the incorporation of GnPs into the epoxy matrix caused a deterioration in the LVI properties of the aramid fiber-reinforced composite plates. Moreover, the best increase in the mechanical properties of pure and hybrid fiber-reinforced composites was obtained by adding 0.1 and 0.25% wt% GnPs into the epoxy matrix.

Authors: Yuce Celalettin , Dogan Oguz , Karpat Fatih
Published: April 2022

As a result of polymer materials development and the use of additive manufacturing technologies, gear wheels made of polymer materials are becoming widespread in many areas of the industry. In recent years, determining the dynamic behavior of polymer gears has gained significant importance because it is desired to carry more loads and operate at higher speeds. Since it is one of the most critical factors affecting dynamic behavior, tooth stiffness should also be determined. In this study, the single-tooth stiffness (STS) of polymer gears with symmetrical and asymmetrical profile was measured experimentally with a unique test setup. Force was applied to three different points on the tooth, and the resulting deflection was measured with the help of linear variable differential transformer and a high-speed camera. Using the obtained deflection values, STS of the polymer tooth was calculated depending on the pressure angle. The experimental results are also compared with the finite element model created, and it is found that the results are matched well. As a result of the study, it is determined that the drive-side pressure angle of the polymer gear increased from 20° to 32°, and the tooth stiffness increased by approximately 10.8%.
Resistance spot welding of Al6061 lap joints with a polyvinyl alcohol-bonded graphene interlayer
Authors: Sudharshan Velavali , Kuriachen Basil , Paul Jinu
Published: April 2022

In order to increase the lap shear strength and weldability of aluminium alloy (Al6061), spot welding is done in lap configuration with an interlayer of graphene nano-platelets (GNPs). The GNPs are bonded using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and drop-casted on one of the mating surfaces of the lap joint before the resistance spot welding process. The experiment is carried out using different welding currents and time cycles at a constant load. It was found that the processing parameters and the presence of GNP interlayer play an important role in the performance of the lap joint. An increase of approximately 60% in the lap shear strength was observed with GNP interlayer at optimum processing conditions. Interfacial–microstructure characterisation was carried out across the fractured surface of the lap joint by using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). An increase in hardness, a change in nugget diameter and the mode of failure were observed in the presence of the GNP interlayer. A detailed analysis of the possible weld strengthening mechanisms is included in this article.

Published: April 2022

A significant amount of environmental pollution is caused by oil refinery industries in the form of spent alumina catalyst (SAC) waste generated during the process. This waste causes various detrimental effects on human health. In this study, an effort has been made to consume the SAC in the fabrication of aluminum-based composite materials via the friction stir process (FSP). An X-ray diffraction image of the SAC powder used in this work confirms the occurrence of Al2O3, Fe2O3, SiO2, and CaO phases. These hard-phase materials form the basis for SAC to be used as reinforcement content with the aluminum alloy. The FSP is used to create the composite material. It is evident from the scanning electron microscopy image of the Al/SAC composite developed by the FSP technique that fair distribution of constituent ingredients is attained during the process. The incorporation of SAC contents in the aluminum alloy results in remarkable enlargement in tensile strength and hardness of the composite material. The Al2O3, Fe2O3, SiO2, and CaO phases of SAC showed a considerable effect on thermal expansion and corrosion weight loss of the composite.

Published: April 2022

The modernization in automobile industries has been booming in recent times, which has led to the development of lightweight and fuel-efficient design of different automobile components. Furthermore, metaheuristic algorithms play a significant role in obtaining superior optimized designs for different vehicle components. Hence, a hunger game search (HGS) algorithm is applied to optimize the automobile suspension arm (SA) by reduction of mass vis-à-vis volume. The performance of the HGS algorithm was accomplished by comparing the achieved results with the well-established metaheuristics (MHs), such as salp swarm optimizer, equilibrium optimizer, Harris Hawks optimizer (HHO), chaotic HHO, slime mould optimizer, marine predator optimizer, artificial bee colony optimizer, ant lion optimizer, and it was found that the HGS algorithm is able to pursue the best optimized solution subjecting to critical constraints. Moreover, the HGS algorithm can realize the least weight of the SA subjected to maximum stress values. Hence, the adopted algorithm can be found robust in terms of obtaining the best global optimum solution.

Authors: Das Shibam , Gagandeep  , Bhatia Rohit
Published: April 2022

Paper is the most abundant and inexpensive polymeric structure of cellulose available. Paper has micro-porous capillary-like networks which are responsible for flow of solvents instead of pumps or electronic power, making paper an ideally usable tool. Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices use fabricated paper devices on which hydrophilic zones are formed within hydrophobic barriers. Hydrophilic zones act as regions for actual analytical purposes, whereas hydrophobic zones act to demarcate separate zones from one another. Clinically, these devices have been proved to be excellent point-of-care-devices in diagnosis which can bypass use of costly and time-consuming laboratory techniques. In the presented review, the basic principles and components involved in the design of paper-based devices were then summarised in understandable manner. Further, various applications in different fields were also compiled in the form of text under different sections and tables. Paper-based analytical devices may serve as an excellent tool in variety of analytical works as these techniques are simple, rapid, economic, and require less human power or trainings. They have prominent applications in analysis of biological fluids, drugs/metabolites, food stuffs, colorants, biomarkers, and several other fields.

Nietzsche e a linguagem
Authors: Feiler Adilson Felicio
Published: April 2022

Entre as características fundamentais que se depreendem da obra de Nietzsche está a sua alta capacidade de expressão estilística. A forma com que o filósofo aborda inúmeros temas é permeada por uma linguagem que faz eco ao seu pensamento, expresso em arte e dança. De uma verdade absoluta e unilateral ele conduz a uma visão perspectiva plural, de modo que a linguagem, com a sua multiplicidade de figuras, chancela este processo de desconstrução metafísica. A concepção organicista, que caracteriza o pensamento nietzschiano, compreende instintos que apontam para disposições artísticas, vitais fundamentais, fazendo com que o sentido seja aparência, o conceito seja metáfora, e a verdade seja perspectiva. A expressão resultante deste campo, anímico, aparente, metafórico e perspectivístico se traduz em linguagem, fazendo com que o conjunto aforismático que compõe a obra nietzschiana constitua um todo, pautado pela crítica à cultura, precisamente em sua compreensão moderna. Em que aspectos o pensamento de Nietzsche, marcado por um procedimento diagnosticador dos valores morais, metafísicos da cultura, tem na linguagem um poderoso ingrediente de desconstrução? Sendo a linguagem a expressão pela qual a verdade se apresenta, não estaria Nietzsche ainda operando no registro da razão?

A pesquisa demonstra que a nova magia na contemporaneidade se dá por meio da ritualização de programas, que são estruturados com a clara intenção de programar o comportamento idolátrico da sociedade. A partir da teorização de Vilém Flusser examina-se o processo idolátrico das imagens que transforma as pessoas em sombras das imagens, presas ao desejo da imortalidade. O problema reside em saber como o ser humano se ocupará de símbolos, códigos, sistemas e como será sua vida nesse ambiente imaterial. Até que nível a sociedade atual está programada? Os aparelhos vão resolver os problemas, ou seja, eles funcionarão em função da sociedade? Em primeiro lugar, explicita-se a lógica do funcionamento dos aparelhos. Depois, como a ciência se automatizou e transformou o programador em programado: de sujeito a objeto do processo ao transferir ao programa do aparelho todo o seu poder, tornando a sociedade em massa programada, que funciona em função dos aparelhos. O processo de idolatrização está em curso, entretanto o que se percebe é que a humanidade caminha para um totalitarismo programador.

Authors: Haykir O. , Mohácsi-Farkas Cs. , Engelhardt T.
Published: April 2022

Its ability to survive under different environmental conditions makes Listeria monocytogenes a critical concern for food safety. When the microorganisms are exposed to sublethal heat treatment above their optimum growth temperature, they increase stress adaptation for further heat treatments. In order to investigate heat stress resistance of L. monocytogenes, L. innocua as a surrogate was exposed to sublethal heat at 46 °C for 30 and 60 min, prior to heat treatment at 60 °C. There was no significant difference in D60°C values between samples exposed to sublethal heat for 30 min and non-pre-heat-treated samples (control) (P > 0.05). In comparison, sublethal heat treatment for 60 min caused a significant increase in D60°C values compared to control samples (P < 0.05). Additionally, cluster analysis of mass spectra obtained from MALDI-TOF was analysed by discriminant analysis of principal components (DAPC) for sublethal heat treatment at 46 °C for 30 min and control group to check stress response at the proteomic level. However, differentiation of stress responses by distinct clusters was not revealing.

Published: April 2022

Human activities in the watershed in the upstream of Cileungsi river have tendency to bring high organic materials to the river which determines the aquatic condition of the river. The decreased water quality is event because of the organic materials in the upstream of Cileungsi river would bring negative impacts towards water condition in the downstream. This study was conducted in determining the water quality in the upstream of Cileungsi river, using Trophic Diatom Index (TDI). The sampling was taken in four different sites in the river and sub-river of the upstream of the river. The sampling of ephilitic diatom organisms were taken by scraping the surface of substrate rocks using brush then soaked the materials into a sampling bottle which hasbun containing destile water. Diatom density was measured using census method according to standard of APHA 2012. The TDI score ranged from 48.25 to 60.47, indicating that the water quality of upstream of Cileungsi river is classified from good until poor condition.

Published: April 2022

Small pelagic fishery is the largest potential commodity in the waters of Tomini Bay which reached 64% of the total fish resources. Mini purse seine (soma pajeko) is the major fishing gear that used to utilize small pelagic resources in Tomini Bay. One of the main fishing grounds of mini purse seine vessels in Tomini Bay is in Bualemo and the surrounding waters. The aim of this research was to describe mini purse seine fishery in Bualemo especially about the aspects of the catch rate and catch composition. From the analysis of the daily catch data, there was a fluctuation of the average of catch rate each month. The catch of mini purse seine in Bualemo was dominated by two main species that is malalugis/mackerel scad (Decapterus macarellus) and bigeye scad (Selar crumenophthalmus). The large amount of the young fish (juvenile) caught by mini purse seine caused by the vessels operated around FADs and the mesh size that was less selective.
IMPACT OF FISHING AND HABITAT DEGRADATION ON THE DENSITY OF BANGGAI CARDINAL FISH (Pterapogon kauderni, Koumans 1933) IN BANGGAI ARCHIPELAGO, INDONESIA

Published: April 2022

Banggai cardinal fish (Pterapogonkauderni, Koumans 1933) is uncommon example of a marine fish with distributed in small range area while being in highly exploited. This fish is in high demand as an ornamental fish. However, the information on the number of density is limited. An underwater visual fish census survey was conducted in June to July 2010 at 18 fishing sites around Banggai archipelago to estimate the density of the stock and assess the impact of fishing and habitat on density. The areas are divided into three main islands, namely Banggai Island, Peleng Island, Toropot-Tumbak-Labobo Island. The lowest density index of the P. kauderni recorded at Kindandal village on Peleng Island, 0.014 fish/m2while the highest abundance index of 3.0 fish/m2 found at Toropot village at Toropot Island. In three survey sites (Bonebaru and Toropot villages) where the fishing activities are still ongoing, the density has declined compared to the survey conducted in 2004. Majority of the villages in Peleng Island have lower density compared with the other islands probably due to the degradation of microhabitat of P. kauderni. In many cases, microhabitat degradation might be as a result of collection of sea urchins and sea anemone for consumption by local community.

Resumo Objetivo identificar os fatores associados à piora da autopercepção de saúde em idosos residentes na comunidade ao longo do tempo. Método Trata-se de um estudo longitudinal prospectivo e analítico. Na linha de base a coleta de dados ocorreu no domicílio a partir de uma amostragem aleatória, por conglomerados. A segunda coleta de dados foi realizada após um período médio de 42 meses. Foram analisadas variáveis sociodemográficas, relativas à saúde e uso de serviços de saúde. A autopercepção de saúde foi investigada pela questão: “Como o(a) Sr.(a) classificaria seu estado de saúde?”. Os resultados da classificação de saúde de cada pessoa idosa foram comparados entre os dois momentos do estudo (primeira onda e linha de base) definindo a variável dependente. As razões de prevalências ajustadas foram obtidas por análise múltipla de regressão de Poisson com variância robusta. Resultados participaram das duas etapas do estudo 394 idosos, 21,1% pioraram a autopercepção de saúde, 26,7% melhoraram e 52,2% não apresentaram alteração. As variáveis que se mantiveram estatisticamente associadas à transição para uma avaliação pior de autopercepção de saúde foram: asma, hipertensão arterial sistêmica e fragilidade. Conclusão a autopercepção de saúde é caracterizada por transição entre níveis de autoavaliação de saúde. Doenças crônicas e fragilidade mostraram associação longitudinal com a piora da autopercepção de saúde.

Abstract This study aimed to make and characterize a fresh cheese using the surplus of bovine colostrum from dairy farms. The bovine colostrum was characterized in terms of fat (4.00%), protein (16.30%), moisture (79.68%), ash (0.95%), minerals, pH (6.32), titratable acidity (0.27 g/100 mL), immunoglobulin G (>50 g/L), lactose (1.60%), color, and the presence of pathogenic bacteria. The fresh cheese made with colostrum was characterized in the same terms as the bovine colostrum (fat (7.00%), protein (22.95%), moisture (67.98%), ash (1.85%), minerals, pH (6.15), titratable acidity (0.04 g/100 mL), immunoglobulin G (30.95 g/L), lactose (not detectable), color, and the presence of pathogenic bacteria), with the addition of the texture and sensory analysis. The colostrum cheese had high moisture content (67.98%) and low-fat content (7.00%). The protein content was also high (22.95%), whose major percentage was composed by immunoglobulins. An important finding in this work was associated with the possible absence of lactose in the colostrum cheese, thus opening opportunities for future research regarding the development of dairy products for lactose intolerant consumers. In addition, the high concentration of immunoglobulin G might give this product an immune boost feature. The sensorial analysis showed that the recipe of the fresh cheese requires improvement to achieve higher acceptance from the public, especially regarding texture.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to review the available literature on the relationship between hearing disorders and Biotinidase deficiency. Methods: a literature search carried out between October 2018 and August 2021, on the following databases: ELSEVIER, MEDLINE, SciELO, LILACS. Descriptors were used in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. PRISMA tools were used to select the articles and STROBE was used to analyze them. Literature Review: the selected articles were published between 1983 and 2020 and answered the guiding question of the research. Observational studies, case series studies, and case reports were included. Articles without a methodology description, or carried out by the same author and with the same sample were excluded. The initial search strategy identified 152 articles. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 14 articles were selected for this review. Conclusion: the presence of Biotin was often associated with auditory pathways origins. The literature suggested a relationship between Biotinidase deficiency and hearing disorders.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the influence of educational status on the quality of life of women submitted to facial aesthetic myofunctional therapy. Methods: a self-controlled experimental clinical trial conducted at the Universidade Aberta à Terceira Idade (Open University for Seniors - UNATI) of the Pontífica Universidade Católica (Pontifical Catholic University - PUC) of Goiás, Brazil. The 44 participating women, aged 50 to 65 years, were divided into group 1 (having completed middle or high school) and group 2 (with a higher education degree) and were submitted to aesthetic myofunctional therapy. Data analysis was made with the paired t-test, Levene test, t-test to compare the means of independent groups, and Spearman correlation, at the 5% significance level. Results: after the aesthetic myofunctional therapy, the wrinkles and orofacial myofunctional balance improved significantly in groups 1 and 2. The physical aspects and overall health status mean scores increased significantly in group 1, after the intervention. There was no statistically significant difference in the women’s quality of life between groups. The correlation between educational status and the quality-of-life domains was predominantly low. Conclusion: the educational status did not interfere with the quality of life of women submitted to aesthetic myofunctional therapy.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to characterize the profile of scientific production in the international literature on phonological awareness in bilingual children between 2011 and 2020. Methods: a bibliometric analysis was made with the search for articles in ERIC, LILACS, MEDLINE, and SciELO databases, using descriptors in English. The articles were selected based on the eligibility criteria, by reading the titles, then reading the abstracts, and lastly, reading the full-text articles. Results: a total of 1,167 articles were analyzed, 1,152 of which were excluded for not meeting the inclusion criteria. Hence, 15 articles were selected for full-text reading and bibliometric analysis. The United States was the country with most publications, followed by Brazil, Singapore, and China. The approach of the studies was predominantly quantitative, followed by qualitative; the most common type of study was cross-sectional, with samples of more than 100 participants. Conclusion: there was a greater number of publications in the last 3 years, most of them cross-sectional ones, presenting better phonological awareness performance among bilinguals, with positive results in reading.

ABSTRACT Objective: to determine the prevalence of ankyloglossia in neonates and verify factors that interfere with exclusive breastfeeding and cause difficulties in breastfeeding. Methods: an observational longitudinal study conducted at a public maternity hospital in Teresina, Piauí, Brazil. The sample comprised 397 mother-child pairs. Ankyloglossia was diagnosed with the part I of the Baby Lingual Frenulum Assessment Protocol with Scores. Six months after the children were born, the mothers were interviewed and answered questions on the indication and performance of frenotomy and time of breastfeeding. Descriptive analysis of the data, chi-square test and bivariate and multivariate Poisson regression were conducted (p < 0.05). Results: the prevalence of ankyloglossia was 4.3% (n = 17). The attendance rate for the second moment of the research was 70.8% (n = 281). Of the examined children, 14 were indicated for lingual frenotomy, but only one was submitted to the procedure. The time of exclusive breastfeeding of children with ankyloglossia was equal to that of children with a normal lingual frenulum (p-value = 0.876). Ankyloglossia was not associated with breastfeeding difficulties (PR = 1.0 95%CI 0.8-1.1, p-value = 0.441), neither was it a factor for not breastfeeding exclusively for 6 months (PR = 1.1 95%CI 0.9-1.2, p-value = 0.390). Conclusions: the prevalence of ankyloglossia in the studied population was 4.3%. Baby bottle use in the first month of life and breastfeeding difficulties were hindering factors for exclusive breastfeeding.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to describe the manual therapy techniques used to treat the temporomandibular disorder in older adults. Methods: an integrative literature review assessing scientific publications indexed in six databases: MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Scopus, LILACS, and PEDro. Only intervention studies were included, with no restriction of date or language. The articles included in the review were assessed with the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme. Results: after consulting the databases, 88 articles were found, six of which were considered eligible. No study was found exclusively approaching older adults. According to the analysis of the risk of bias, two articles were classified as low-risk, two as intermediate, and two as high-risk. The manual therapy techniques were intra- and extraoral massage, temporomandibular joint and cervical spine mobilization, myofascial release, trigger-point finger pressure, and deep transverse massage. Conclusion: the studies observed improved mandibular movements and masticatory function, eased pain, and reduced anxiety.
Carmen Miranda: an Embodied Marketplace Icon
Authors: Oliveira Renata Couto de Azevedo de
Published: April 2022

Abstract Building upon the CCT framework of incorporation of ideologies, taste regimes, and national and regional interests by consumer cultures, this paper proposes that social and political ideologies are also embodied in marketplace icons. This paper aims, then, to bring together the concepts of iconicity and liminality to provide an account of Carmen Miranda as a marketplace icon who not only embodied the national myths of her time but also continues to be employed in the current marketplace for a variety of purposes. As such, icons like Carmen contribute to the production of marketplaces in which historical, political, and ideological issues are naturalized. Carmen’s collaboration via cultural industries such as radio and cinema, her omnipresence in advertising campaigns and in the printed media, and her influence on female fashion contributed to the consumer culture of her time. Moreover, the mythical character of her persona and her cultural legacy hold an expressive symbolic power, making her a remarkable contemporary marketplace icon. The key to her iconicity is her liminality; unsettling hierarchies, traversing social planes, and questioning identity. As a marketplace icon, Carmen’s legacy is thus constantly reissued, founded upon the ambivalence of her persona and signaling her transgressive potential.
