Prevalence of Absence of Palmaris Longus in Students of a Medical College in Nepal
Authors: Manandhar Prabina , Sintakala Chandan
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Palmaris longus is one of the most variable muscles present in the superficial layer of the anterior compartment of forearm and is phylo-genetically categorized as retrogressive muscle. It arises from the medial epicondyle of humerus and forms a long slender tendon which becomes flattened in palm to form palmar aponeurosis and helps in the flexion of hand at wrist. This muscle can be used in plastic surgery or reconstructive surgeries. The present study was carried out to find the prevalence of presence or absence of palmaris longus tendon in Nepalese population so that it would be helpful to provide a baseline data for surgeons to perform surgical procedures. Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted among  200 medical students after the approval from Institutional Review Committee. The presence or absence of tendon of palmaris longus was observed and confirmed on the flexor aspect of wrist by using Schafferâ€™s test and Thompsonâ€™s test. Results: The overall absence of palmaris longus was observed in 55 students (27.5%) with the prevalence of bilateral absence in 27 students (13.5%) and unilateral absence in 28 students (14.0%).The overall absence of palmaris longus was reported in 20 males (23.2%) and in 35 females (30.7%). Conclusion: Absence of palmaris longus (either unilateral or bilateral) was observed in about one fourth of the participants.

Published: December 2024

O artigo objetiva analisar a presença da religião nas escolas públicas e a percepção de professores e gestores escolares sobre este fenômeno. Apresenta historicamente a definição de laicidade e os pressupostos que definem o Estado brasileiro como laico. Expõe resultados de uma pesquisa de campo que se reporta à laicidade do Estado no contexto escolar e cujos dados foram coletados com professores e gestores das duas escolas estaduais do município paranaense de Corbélia, por meio de entrevistas com gestores e questionário respondido por professores. O intuito da pesquisa foi o de aferir o entendimento que os envolvidos têm acerca da laicidade. A partir de um referencial teórico que concebe a laicidade como a materialização de princípios democráticos, analisa-se e conclui-se que os procedimentos adotados nas escolas pesquisadas contrariam os pressupostos de um Estado efetivamente laico, mesmo que os envolvidos não o percebam.

OBJECTIVE

To characterize the prevalence of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-defined glucose abnormalities in a large, community-based population of very old adults (>75 years).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

A cross-sectional analysis of 1,150 older adults with and without diabetes who attended the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study (2021–2022). Diabetes was based on a self-reported diagnosis of diabetes by a health care provider, use of diabetes medication, or a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≥6.5%. Prediabetes was defined as an HbA1c of 5.7% to <6.5% and normoglycemia as an HbA1c of <5.7%. We analyzed CGM metrics, including mean glucose, measures of hyperglycemia, and the coefficient of variation, by diabetes status.

RESULTS

Of the 1,150 participants (mean age 83 years, 59% women, 26% who are Black), 35.1% had normoglycemia, 34.5% had prediabetes, and 30.4% had diabetes. The summary 24-h ambulatory glucose profile for participants with prediabetes was very similar to those with normoglycemia. No participants with normoglycemia or prediabetes had a CGM mean glucose >140 mg/dL, while 32.7% of participants with diabetes had a CGM mean glucose >140 mg/dL.

CONCLUSIONS

In very old adults with normal or prediabetes HbA1c, hyperglycemia detected by CGM was rare. This suggests that HbA1c adequately captures the burden of hyperglycemia for most people in this population.

While the term “language history” (Norwegian: språkhistorie) is not explicitly mentioned in the current Norwegian curriculum (LK20), historical perspectives on language are present in several competence aims, either explicitly, implicitly, or optionally. This chapter examines the role of language history in the curriculum, with a focus on aims related to the official languages of Norway, as well as aims involving comparison of Norwegian with Old Norse, neighboring languages, and other languages. The chapter argues that both internal and external language history are relevant for the curriculum aims, and that the multilingual turn in the curriculum necessitates a combination of these perspectives. While external language history, such as the history of the written standards bokmål and nynorsk, has been emphasized in the subject of Norwegian, the chapter contends that internal language history, such as phonological and morphological developments, should not be neglected. Lastly, the chapter reflects on the historical linguistic competence of teachers in primary and secondary education in light of the curriculum aims. The chapter concludes that language history plays a balanced role in the school subject Norwegian as long as implicit and optional aims are taken into account, and that the curriculum largely reflects a turn to a multilingual perspective on language history.
Undergraduate students’ expectations of practical work in university physics
Authors: Dunnett Kirsty
Published: December 2024

Instructors’ assumptions about students’ expectations can affect the opportunities and support they provide. A survey of students starting undergraduate degrees in physics in the UK and Sweden found that they expect that their laboratory work will contribute to skills acquisition, but also be difficult. Differences between institutions may reflect course structure or prior experience: for example, Swedish students have lower expectations of difficulty than UK students. Specific concerns around insufficient working equipment are more common in the UK, but Swedish students expect more explicit connections to theoretical courses. The implications for student motivation are discussed in relation to self-efficacy and expectancyvalue theory. Concern around practical work may have been obscured in earlier studies on students’ attitudes towards practical work and demonstrates the importance of including the student perspective in course design and delivery.

Authors: Rini Thalia Ayu , Azizah Nur
Published: December 2024

The implementation of inclusive education in Indonesia indicates a tendency toward favourable outcomes in providing better quality educational services for children with special needs. In order to enhance the efficacy and advancement of inclusive education in Indonesia, it is crucial to consider the perspectives of students towards inclusive education. Hence, this PRISMA-compliant literature review examines relevant studies on Indonesian students' perspectives on inclusive education. The chosen publication is a Scopus-indexed journal article or conference proceeding on empirical research. The Scopus and ERIC databases yielded five relevant studies. Findings showed that students with and without special needs have positive and negative perspectives. Positively, inclusive education students value teacher and peer support, a sense of belonging, friendship, and self-determination. Conversely, students' negative perspectives include academic challenges, social isolation, stigmatization, and bullying in inclusive schools. To fully understand student perspectives, the authors recommend further longitudinal or comparative research with a broader and more diverse population of students with special needs.

Emotional reactions of students and ethical dilemma when working with a neural network
Authors: Andreeva Yulia , Pronina Elena
Published: December 2024

The study aims to establish the range of students' emotional responses in interaction with neural networks as part of creative educational tasks. The research is focused on the responses of students solving creative tasks using neural networks and their experience of the ethical dilemma of attributing authorship. The study hypothesis is that the emotional response arising at the first stage of interaction contributes to the assimilation of the experience of cooperation with machine intelligence and the choice of further course of action in attributing authorship. The study was conducted in three stages: determining popular neural networks, discussing the variants of emotional reactions, and conducting a student survey. Empirical research was conducted based on higher journalism schools at Moscow State University (MSU), Saint Petersburg State University (SPSU), and Kazan Federal University (KFU) from October to December of 2023. The respondent sample consisted of 159 students: 89 from KFU, 50 from MSU, and 20 from SPSU. Factor analysis shows that the share of students experiencing ambivalent emotions amounted to 17%, a positive state was described by 34%, and negative emotions were reported by 18% of students. Thus, interaction with a neural network evokes an emotional response in users, which allows them to assimilate the experience of this interaction.
Innovative behavior as a mediator
Authors: Hasani Syaiful
Published: December 2024

This study examines the impact of self-efficacy, supportive work environment, individual creativity, and perceived organizational support on innovative behavior and employee performance among graphic design employees in digital printing companies across East Java, Indonesia. Data were collected through a survey of 160 graphic design employees from five regions: Surabaya, Malang, Madiun, Bojonegoro, and Besuki, using judgment sampling to target employees with at least two years of experience. The study employs Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Smart PLS to analyze the relationships between variables, testing validity, reliability, and structural models. The findings indicate that self-efficacy positively mediates the relationship between innovative behavior and employee performance, in line with Bandura's theory that higher self-efficacy boosts innovation and performance. Conversely, a supportive work environment negatively mediates this relationship, suggesting that too much support may dampen innovation by reducing employees’ autonomy. Moreover, individual creativity does not directly improve performance unless effectively implemented as innovation. Surprisingly, perceived organizational support does not significantly moderate the relationship between innovative behavior and employee performance, implying that organizational support alone may not be sufficient to amplify the impact of innovation on performance. This study provides valuable insights for the graphic design sector in digital printing companies, highlighting the importance of balancing self-efficacy and support to foster innovative behavior. Management should focus on enhancing employees' self-efficacy while providing a supportive yet not overly restrictive environment. The results contribute significantly to understanding the factors that shape innovation and performance in graphic design, offering a nuanced perspective that differs from other industries.
Família, política de Assistência Social e Psicologia

Published: December 2024

As concepções sobre os modelos de família são resultantes de processos históricos e da relação intrínseca e dialética entre Estado, família e capitalismo, os quais foram lhes conferindo novos arranjos sociais. Aliás, por meio da política social, é assumida uma linha tênue em relação aos aspectos da proteção, do cuidado com as famílias e da responsabilização do Estado nesse processo. Este ensaio teórico tem por objetivo refletir sobre o lugar da família na política social, especificamente na Assistência Social, e suas implicações para a atuação da psicologia nesse campo. Para isso, foram utilizados artigos científicos, capítulos de livros e referências técnicas correspondentes ao tema. A partir deles, identificaram-se os diferentes modelos de família, desde a família tradicional à família contemporânea, resultado das mudanças sociais, a centralidade da família na política de Assistência Social e os reflexos sobre suas concepções no trabalho a ser desenvolvido pela psicologia nos serviços socioassistenciais. Espera-se que os psicólogos possam ampliar suas escutas e olhares para além do modelo tradicional e que estejam dispostos a reconhecerem a indissociabilidade entre o contexto, as demandas e as relações que permeiam o trabalho com as famílias, estabelecendo uma relação dialógica, horizontal, respeitosa e afetiva com as elas.

A chegada de um bebê prematuro pode gerar problemas na relação mãe-bebê em decorrência da frequente necessidade de internação da criança e, consequentemente, separação da mãe. Tendo em vista tal contexto, almejou-se, por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa de orientação psicanalítica, identificar os aspectos envolvidos no processo inicial de construção da parentalidade de mães de bebês prematuros. Foram entrevistadas quatro mães de bebês com idade gestacional inferior a 37 semanas. Os dados foram analisados considerando uma categorização apriorística, com categorias referentes aos sentimentos presentes na gravidez e vivência do luto do parto idealizado, tamanho do bebê real, sentimentos despertados ao ser mãe de um bebê prematuro durante o parto e as primeiras horas de vida do bebê, relação da mãe com a equipe do hospital e o papel do pai em face da prematuridade. Espera-se que os resultados possam contribuir para o desenvolvimento de intervenções para o público em questão, buscando promover a saúde mental da criança, da mãe e da família de forma mais ampla.
Sociological Analysis of Pre-marital Intercourse Activities (Zina) (Criticism of Legal Interpretation Surah An-Nur Verse 3 Tafsir Al-Misbah)
Authors: Armi Mhd. Ilham , Azwar Zainal , Fitri Annisa , Puspita Mega
Published: December 2024

Adultery and marriage are discussed concerning ideality. Marrying an adulterer becomes a legal issue that needs to be studied due to the impropriety of marrying an adulterer. This study analyzes the effect of adultery on future marriages in interpreting Al-Misbah surah An-Nur verse 3, written originally by M. Quraish Shihab. In addition, the interpretation by Quraish will also be parsed with Rebbeca F. Plante's sociology of sexuality analysis to connect the context study of an adulterer's marriage described in Tafsir Al-Misbah with the stigma of sexuality that occurs due to the act of penetration before marriage. The method used is qualitative with a normative-juridical approach, and to sharpen and deepen this study, a sociological analysis of sexuality is used. This study explains that Tafsir Al-Misbah interprets verse 3 of Surah An-Nur with circumstances that benefit one gender and harm the female to achieve the ideal of marriage. With a social approach, there is an implicit stigmatization effort in the interpretation of verse 3 of Surah An-Nur by labeling adulterous females as partners who are not ideal for marriage. This also indicates that socially, a female with such stigmatization is presented as having a bad sexual reputation and provides space for injustice for a female to choose a partner with ideal considerations as befits a male who desires a partner with ideality towards marriage. Thus, the interpretation of the law in verse 3 of surah An-Nur in Tafsir Al-Misbah appears to disadvantage one gender (female) subjectively.
Advocacy for Sharia and Legal Equality in Indonesia: An Examination of the Competency of Sharia Advocates in Banyumas
Authors: Maula Bani Syarif , Nada Syifaun
Published: December 2024

Sharia advocates (Sharia lawyers) in Indonesia face the challenge of maintaining their significant role amidst the dominance of general advocates. This research evaluates the professionalism of Sharia advocates in the Banyumas region, focusing on the Banyumas Religious Court, Banyumas District Court, Purwokerto Religious Court, and Purwokerto District Court. This study used a qualitative and constructivist approach and collected primary data through interviews with Sharia advocates and secondary data from documents. Findings indicate that legislation recognizes Sharia advocates as professional advocates eligible to practice in all courts, akin to general advocates. However, Islamic universities, especially Sharia faculties, need to prepare graduates to compete with general law graduates for advocacy roles. In the Banyumas region, Sharia advocates provide legal services primarily in civil law cases under religious court jurisdiction across four courts. The main challenge for Sharia advocates is the public perception that they only handle Islamic legal cases and only practice in religious courts. Furthermore, there is a strong negative stigma among legal practitioners regarding the low proficiency of Sharia advocates in positive law, leading to their limited involvement in handling cases in District Courts (Civil Courts).

A robust corpus exists on Open Access (OA) spending within libraries, however there is less literature on assessing OA expenditures across colleges and universities. Due to the nature of the fragmented and uneven investment in OA, researchers are likely not optimizing institutional resources on Article Processing Charges (APCs) as part of the open access environment. This article describes how personnel at University of Oregon Libraries built a Power BI model to encapsulate and visualize our institution’s open access outlay as well as apprise researchers of their options for selecting OA publication venues based on APCs and impact metrics.

Sultan Hamengkubawana II and The Dutch In The Political Vortex of the Kasultanan Yogyakarta (1808-1811)
Authors: Mahardi Nasta Ayundra Oktavian
Published: December 2024

The reign of Sultan Hamengkubawana II in 1808-1811 was full of political turmoil from within and outside the palace. The feud with Daendels was a cold war between the Sultan who was stubborn and unwilling to submit to the Company. The Dutch wanted to create a new order for their colony with the changes they made. Yogyakarta, with Sultan Hamengkubawana II refusing, certainly received some pressure which resulted in unprecedented turmoil. This research will focus on the conflict that occurred between the Sultan and the Dutch. In addition, this research also reviews the internal conflicts that occurred in the palace. The internal conflicts that occurred in the palace also had the role of the Dutch. This research chooses the background time between 1808 and 1811. During this period, the Kasultanan Yogyakarta was in turmoil.  In no less than three years, there was a colonial leadership that occupied Java and caused changes that had never happened before. Namely by the French-Dutch envoy, Herman Willem Daendels as Governor General of the Dutch East Indies. The analysis of this period is quite important considering that Yogyakarta would experience a new era of governmental order in a relatively short period of time.

Published: December 2024

Plant species belonging to the leguminous family are very important for the quality and quantity of rangelands in semiarid regions. New varieties should be developed from the delicious, long-lasting, and high-quality plant species in this family for our rangelands that have rapidly deteriorated due to mismanagement. For this reason, sainfoin breeding study was initiated to develop new cultivars. In the first period, the seven collected sainfoin populations from the rangeland areas of the Central and Eastern Anatolia Regions were planted with control cultivars, Özerbey-03 and Lütfibey, in a nursery plot at the research station located in the Gölbaşı district of Ankara in 2015. At the initiating period of this breeding study (in 2016 and 2017), morphological (plant height, stem diameter, and stem number) and agronomic traits (fresh forage and dry forage yields) were determined. According to the obtained results, The L-1787 had the highest values in plant height, fresh forage, and dry forage yields of all populations. Moreover, among all populations, L-1747 had the lowest fresh forage and dry forage yield. The L-1781 had the highest stem number, while Lütfibey had the lowest. The Özerbey-03 and L-1781 had the thickest stems. L-1781, L-1787 anwd L-1788 populations exhibited higher fresh and dry feed yield due to higher stem number and larger stem diameter compared to control varieties. These populations can also be utilized for future breeding studies to develop new cultivars. Additionally, the methods of Cluster Analysis and Principal Component Analysis were used to identify similar traits and their similarity levels.
Activity of Fosthiazate Against Root-Knot Nematode, Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White) Chitwood (Nemata: Heteroderidae) on Tomato and Pepper in Greenhouse Conditions
Authors: Imren Mustafa , Yüksel Ebubekir
Published: December 2024

Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are recognized as highly damaging obligate parasites, causing significant reductions in crop yield and quality. Nematicides, which are chemical agents, are employed to enhance crop yield by managing PPNs. Fosthiazate, scientifically known as [O-ethyl S-(methylpropyl) (2-oxo-3-thiazolidinyl)-phosphonothioate], represents a novel organothiophosphate compound proven effective against various nematodes, including potato cyst nematodes (CNs), root-knot nematodes (RKNs), and others. Its mode of action involves targeting the nervous system of the specific nematode pests, inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and disrupting normal nerve impulse conduction. In Türkiye, the fosthiazate is registered against RKNs (Meloidogyne spp.) in several vegetable crops. This study was conducted to investigate the activity of Tripp 900EC (900 g L-1 Fosthiazate) against Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White) Chitwood (Nemata: Heteroderidae) on tomato and pepper in greenhouse conditions. The Tripp 900 EC (900 g L-1 Fosthiazate) proved to be an effective treatment that inhibited M. incognita population by 91.2% and 94.6% on tomato and pepper, respectively. Furthermore, gall formation on the tomato and pepper dropped after Fosthiazate treatment following Fluopyram by 88.5% and 86.2%, respectively. The results indicate that fosthiazate has great potential in controlling M. incognita in greenhouse tomato and pepper cultivations.
Effects of Drought and Salinity Stress on Antioxidant Ezymes and Yield Parameters of Laurel Plant (Laurus nobilis L.)
Authors: Yalçın Mutlu , Ekinci Deniz , Arslan Hakan
Published: December 2024

Plants are exposed to various environmental stressors throughout their life cycle, including cold, drought, high temperature, salt, and heavy metals. These environmental variables, known as abiotic stressors, lead to oxidative stress and promote the formation of reactive and dangerous reactive oxygen species in plants. In this study, laurel plants were exposed to two different abiotic stress conditions (salinity (10 dS m-1), drought). Under both stress conditions, chlorophyll content, stomatal conductance and antioxidant enzyme activities Glutathione S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), guaiacol peroxidase (GPx), ascorbate peroxidase (APx) were determined. Chlorophyll content was observed to decrease by 58.53% and 40.31% for drought and salinity treatments, respectively, compared to the control treatment. In addition, stomatal conductance was reduced by 52.75% and 35.15% for drought and salinity treatments, respectively. These results indicate that chlorophyll content and stomatal conductance of laurel plants were more affected by drought stress than salinity. The activity of all antioxidant enzymes decreased in both drought and salinity stress. GR and GPx were significantly reduced by 49.29% and 74.51%, respectively, in drought treatment compared to the control group. In addition, GST and APx activity decreased by 22.01% and 6.26%, respectively, in salinity stress compared to the control group. According to the data obtained, GR and GPx enzyme activities in laurel plants were more affected by drought stress, while GST and APx enzyme activities decreased more significantly under salinity stress.

Considerando que o Brasil é um país com uma população envelhecida e que o Estado de Minas Gerais apresenta elevados percentuais de idosos e altos índices de envelhecimento em seus municípios, fatores que implicam mudanças na dinâmica econômica, social e política, e considerando a importância do acesso à cidade e da garantia de moradia segura para o envelhecimento ativo e saudável, este estudo foi proposto para verificar se os municípios mineiros priorizam ações e serviços que asseguram a acessibilidade física e social para a população idosa. Utilizando uma abordagem mista (qualitativa e quantitativa) do tipo exploratória e documental, foram analisados diagnósticos situacionais da pessoa idosa de 31 municípios do Estado de Minas Gerais, empregando como estratégias a análise de correlação de Pearson e a análise de conteúdo. Os resultados evidenciram que municípios com maior população possuem maior Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal emaior Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal - Longevidade. Ainda, observou-se que quanto maior o número de habitantes, maior o Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal e, quanto maior o número de habitantes e o Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal maior o número de ações realizadas. Por outro lado, municípios com maior númerode normativos realizam menos ações de acessibilidade física e social. Já a análise de conteúdo das ações empreendidas ou planejadas pelos municípios permitem inferir que políticas de acessibilidade física e social são incipientes nos municípios estudados. Como conclusão, os municípios estudados não demonstram ofertar condições essenciais para possibilitar o envelhecimento ativo e saudável para a sua população, sendo necessário adequar suas cidades para minimizar os riscos inerentes às mudanças demográficas.
The ‘media privilege’ in data protection law
Authors: Janssen Caroline
Published: December 2024

This Art. examines the complex legal conflict between freedom of the press and the right todata protection, focusing on the European legal framework. The analysis explores the tensionbetween these two fundamental rights within the context of the European Court of HumanRights (ECtHR) and the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ). A key element in thisdebate is the ‘media privilege’ under Article 85 of the General Data Protection Regulation(GDPR), which attempts to balance press freedom and data protection while leaving significantroom for national legislations to interpret and implement this balance. Through a detailedexamination of landmark cases such as Satakunnan Markkinapörssi Oy and Satamedia Oy v.Finland and Buivids, the article sheds light on the criteria courts use to weigh these competingrights. The study highlights how both courts navigate issues of journalistic activity in the digitalage, emphasizing the potential challenges brought by new media formats. The conclusionreflects on the evolving nature of these rights within Europe’s multi-level system, suggestingthat a cohesive approach remains a work in progress.
MANED WOLVES IN THE ECOLOGICAL STATION OF ITIRAPINA- BRAZIL: TEMPORAL AND TERRITORIAL DISTRIBUTION OF LONG-DISTANCE VOCALIZATION.

Published: December 2024

The maned wolf Chrysocyon brachyurus (Illiger 1815) is considered the largest canid in South America, it has crepuscular nocturnal behavior, solitary and skittish habits. Its vocalization has different classifications, one of them called roar-barks, which helps in long-distance communication, being ideal for passive acoustic monitoring. For the study of the vocalizations of C. brachyurus in the Ecological Station of Itirapina in Brazil, were implanted 6 autonomous recorders called EcoPods. The locations of the station with the highest detection of vocalizations, their characteristics, temporal distribution in relation to sunset and moon phases were studied. The point with the highest concentration of roar-barks is the same as the point with the litter’s vocalization, indicating the importance of vocalizations in parental care. Passive acoustic monitoring allows a less invasive study and helps to understand the behavior of the maned wolf for its preservation.

Intermediate filaments (IFs) play a major role in determining and maintaining cell shape and anchoring intracellular organelles in place, in the tissues and organs of several species, starting from the early stages of development. This study was aimed at the immunohistochemical investigation of the presence, cellular localization and temporal distribution of the intermediate filaments keratin 8 (CK8), keratin 18 (CK18), keratin 19 (CK19), vimentin, desmin and laminin, all of which contribute to the formation of the cytoskeleton in the rat mammary gland during pregnancy, lactation and involution. On days 7, 14 and 21 of pregnancy (pregnancy period), on day 7 post-delivery (lactation period) and on day 7 post-weaning (involution period), under ketamine hydrochloride (Ketalar-Pfizer) (90 mg/kg) anesthesia, two mammary glands were fully excised from the abdominal region. It was determined that CK8 showed moderate immunoreactions in the alveolar and ductal epithelia, connective tissue and vascular endothelium of the rat mammary gland throughout pregnancy. On the 7th day of pregnancy, CK18 expression was absent in the alveolar and ductal epithelia, but was observed weakly in some connective tissue cells. Throughout pregnancy, lactation and involution, the alveolar and ductal epithelia of the rat mam­mary gland were determined to be negative for CK19. Desmin expression predominated in the mammary myoepithelium and vasculature throughout all three of the investigated periods. While vimentin was not expressed in any of the mammary tissue components during pregnancy and lactation, its moderate expression was observed in the alveolar and ductal epithelia during involution. The involution period was also characterized by the vimentin negativity of the myo­epithelium, stroma, fat cells and blood vessels of the mammary gland. Throughout all three periods, laminin expression was strong in the alveolar and ductal epithelia, stromal and myo-epithelial cells and blood vessels, and did not vary in strength between the investigated periods. These findings demonstrated that intermediate filaments showed cell- and tissue-specific expres­sion patterns in the rat mammary gland under the effects of pregnancy, lactation and involution.
A comparative approach on the prophylactic impact of fermented beverages on acute ulcerative colitis in mouse model
Authors: Erol Z. , Özmen Ö.
Published: December 2024

Acute ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disease of the colon that is becoming increasingly prevalent. Yet, a growing body of evidence supports the efficacy of dietary interventions in preventing acute ulcerative colitis. Fermented beverages have been the focus of research in humans and animals for several years due to their potential to influence overall health functions with an emphasis on gut health. This research comprehensively explores the preventive effect of three fermented beverages (water kefir, dairy kefir, and kombucha) on acute ulcerative colitis in a CD-1 mouse model. Histopathological evaluation of the colon samples indicated that consumption of kombucha led to increased alleviation of the gross and histopathological lesions. Oral administration of kombucha positively affected overall intestinal microecological homeostasis by decreasing the coliform counts in this group contrasting the water and milk kefir groups. Moreover, physicochemical evaluation of the fermented beverages was conducted covering key parameters such as pH, acidity, total solids, radical scavenging activity and total phenolic content. Kombucha had the highest radical scavenging activity (85.61), total phenolic content (5.04 mg GAE/ mL), and total solids (0.70%), but the lowest pH (3.1) values. The findings from this research offer valuable insights into the distinct contribution of different fermented beverages on prevention of acute ulcerative colitis. Kombucha unravels a promising natural prevention approach for acute colitis, opening new perspectives for future research.

OBJECTIVE

To perform a diagnostic assessment of a point-of-care veterinary multiuse platform integrated with a model comprised of deep-learning, convolutional neural network algorithms for evaluating canine/feline peripheral blood smears compared to board-certified clinical pathologists (CPs).

METHODS

This study had a blinded, randomized, incomplete block design, and results were compared between CPs and algorithms. Blood smears from convenience samples from veterinary diagnostic reference laboratories from October to December 2021 were used. Study phase A comprised 2 parts: (1) object class identifier algorithm (leukocytes, platelets, polychromatophils, and nucleated erythrocytes) versus CP within the same field of view (FOV); and (2) monolayer detection algorithm plus object class identifier algorithm versus CPs with different FOVs. Study phase B comprised algorithms versus CP for platelet clump identification. Study phase C comprised algorithms versus CP for polychromatophil identification. Metrics including sensitivity, specificity, and agreement were used.

RESULTS

The sample size was 59 dogs and 60 cats in phase A, 92 dogs and 69 cats in phase B, and 47 dogs and 12 cats in phase C. For study phase A, part 1, the 5-part leukocyte differential count agreement was 96.6% for canine and 91.7% for feline blood smears, and for part 2, the agreement for estimated total leukocyte, platelet, polychromatophil, and nucleated erythrocyte counts ranged from 70% to 95% across species. In study phase B, the algorithm had 90% sensitivity and 88% specificity. The algorithm for polychromatophils had 100% agreement with CP results in phase C.

CONCLUSIONS

This platform achieved results comparable to those of CPs. Results are meant to complement automated CBC results.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Veterinarians may add this assessment as part of their standard in-clinic hematology analysis for patients.
Reimagining Barbie. A Feminist Analysis of Iconography and Consumerism in the Age of Gender Reevaluation
Authors: Bobaru Nicolae
Published: December 2024

This paper critically analyses the motion picture Barbie (2023) within the context of gender discourse and consumer culture, exploring its dual role as a feminist artefact and a commodity. Drawing on seminal feminist theories, including Betty Friedan’s critique of domesticity and Naomi Wolf’s exploration of beauty as a social construct, alongside other scholarly works, including Robin Gerber’s historical account of Barbie’s creation, J. Lenore Wright’s exploration of body archetypes, Mary F. Rogers’ critique of Barbie culture, Juliette Peers’ fashion doll evolution, and Kim Toffoletti’s posthuman feminist perspective, the study interrogates the film’s portrayal of feminist ideals against its commercial backdrop. By examining Barbie’s impact on gender identity, societal norms, and consumer behaviour, the paper contributes to the nuanced debate on the interplay between feminist representation and media commodification, offering insights into the complexities of engaging with feminist themes in a consumer-driven landscape.
