Authors: Andriyansah  , Zaid Sulaiman  , Lucas Cramer
Published: January 2023

The application of natural fiber composites in the modern world is often overlooked due to the rise of new synthetic fibers. The BetungBamboo is one type of natural fiber that has been used for many generations in the Indonesian archipelago. The fiber can be used to produce composites, however the choice of matrix and fiber treatment has an effect on determining the strength properties of the composite. In this study using epoxy resin as a matrix and Betung Bamboo fiber as a filler. Permanganate treatment of Betung bamboo fiber was conducted using KMnO4 solution. With variations in KMnO4 concentrations of 3%, 5%, and 7% for 15 minutes of immersion. The fabrication was carried out by hand lay-up method with silicone rubber molds. Tensile tests are then carried out to determine the tensile strength of the composite. Digital microscopy was observed to see the fracture pattern of the composite. The initial hypothesis of this study was the treatment of KMnO4 solution which aims to improve the interfacial properties of strength and resistance of Betung bamboo fiber and matrix, so that the mechanical properties of the composite are stronger. The highest tensile strength was at 5% KMnO4 content of 33.55 MPa and the lowest was at the specimen without KMnO4 content of 28.06 MPa. The highest strain was on specimens without KMnO4 content with 2.645% and the lowest on 7% KMnO4 content with 1.513%. The highest elastic modulus value was at 7% KMnO4 content of 20.84 MPa and the lowest was for specimens without KMnO4 content of 10.6 MPa. In the tensile test specimen without KMnO4 content, there are pullout fracture patterns, and in the tensile test specimen with 5% KMnO4 content there are indications of overload fracture pattern.

As bonecas ritxoko são instrumentos de preservação e propagação da cultura do povo Iny Karajá, e apresentam significados e significantes diversos para além da rotina e hábitos do povo falante do Inyrybè. Assim, a cosmologia e suas histórias sobrenaturais encontram espaço importante nas temáticas modeladas pelas ceramistas. A partir do Projeto de Pesquisa Presença Karajá, tem sido possível mapear, de forma digital, as bonecas do Museu do Índio do Rio de Janeiro, com peculiar e extenso acervo datado a partir do século XX. Sendo assim, o intuito deste trabalho é tecer diálogos entre as descrições do museu imputadas nos exemplares de bonecas "cabeça-muita" do acervo com os possíveis significados atribuídos a elas pelo próprio povo Iny. O viés decolonial presente no Projeto estimula e impulsiona tal desejo pela expansão dos diálogos entre o povo Iny Karajá, a comunidade museológica e as bibliografias acerca das ritxoko.
Presença Karajá and the Fritz Krause collection
Authors: Hamburger Miriam
Published: January 2023

This article describes the current cooperation between Presença Karajá, aninterdisciplinary research project that maps and analyzes collections of Karajá dolls(ritxoko) in museum collections, and the GRASSI Museum for Ethnology in Leipzig,Germany, part of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (SKD). Together, theworking group analyzed the collection of ritxoko embedded in other Iny-Karajámaterials, gathered and documented by Dr. Fritz Krause (1881-1963) in 1908. Basedon Krause’s published works from his expedition, Iny-Karajá anthropological contributions, insights from Iny-Karajá representatives, and the ritxoko themselves, the working group investigated the provenance, ethnography, and anthropological data together, gathering valuable research results for the collection history as well asfor the Iny-Karajá themselves. Presença Karajá offered the Museum an opportunity to enhance the history of its collections as well as to support the goals of what the Museum calls “immaterial restitution”: strengthening Indigenous cultures and granting them greater sovereignty over their heritage.
Finding a home for the Ritxoko
Authors: Lang Luciana
Published: January 2023

By tracing the biography of a collection of Ritxoko, the name given to ceramic dolls made by the Iny Karajá people in the interior of Brazil, this paper reflects on the potential ramifications of repatriation. Changes in the making of the Ritxoko are inseparable from a broader history of contact, the political-ecological entanglements surrounding the resources that enable that making, and the effects of its heritagisation process. The relations in thisnatural-cultural assemblage are embedded in a moral economy that produces heritage and commodity. The analysis argues for repatriation as a method in the endeavour to decolonise museums and re- signify heritage, including the natural heritage that enablesthe making of the Ritxoko. Drawing on the learning of initiatives developed in collaboration with the Iny Karajá, the proposed repatriation could bring about more inclusive forms of curatorshipwith Ritxoko makers as protagonists, a necessary effort to address colonial pasts more critically and rethink possible ecological futures.
Nas fronteiras dos museus
Authors: Russi Adriana
Published: January 2023

Nas últimas décadas, museus etnográficos ocidentais foram criticados por seus acervos, discursos e práticas coloniais. Pressionados a mudar sua relação e comunicação com a sociedade, muitos se lançaram em experiências decoloniais, visando processos museológicos mais dialógicos, especialmente com as comunidades associadas às suas coleções, como os povos indígenas. Este artigo delineia elementos conceituais sobre essa temática, apresentando alguns resultados de uma pesquisa de pós-doutorado que analisou oito museus no Brasil. Com foco em práticas colaborativas com povos indígenas, a investigação evidenciou o que Berta Ribeiro e Lucia van Velthem anunciavam desde os anos de 1990: que tais processos ultrapassam os limites das próprias coleções, transbordando as fronteiras dos museus. Talvez seja possível afirmar que se por um lado esses casos se norteiam por princípios da descolonização, por outro, revelam diferentes configurações de mediação cultural com os indígenas. No horizonte aponta-se para o desafio de tornar essas práticas políticas institucionais.
Uma experiência cartográfica no TikTok e seus desertos da monocultura coreográfica
Authors: Guzzo Marina Souza Lobo
Published: January 2023

Nesse ensaio o termo coreografia problematiza questões e desafios para os processos de subjetivação na contemporaneidade, que se colocam diante do projeto de monoculturas proposto pelos algoritmos. A partir do aplicativo TikTok o texto apresenta outras capturas históricas do corpo e da dança, assim como rupturas e alianças possíveis. Coreografar a paisagem a partir desse dispositivo tem sido a experiência dessa geração Z que, a partir da relação da tela/corpo, do compartilhamento, do algoritmo e do confinamento propõe outra maneira de ser/estar vivo. Torna-se importante pensar, então, sobre essa prática corporal tecnomediada e sobre a maneira como a coreografia e a política da vida têm se aproximado cada vez mais.
Epidemiological profile of hospitalized human metapneumovirus in a capital of central-west of Brazil from 2017 to 2019: high lethality at extremes of age
Authors: Alves Santa Bárbara Borges Moara , Pedrosa Torres Fernanda , Gomes Martins de Moura Tomich Lisia
Published: January 2023

Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a paramyxovirus that causes airway infections. hMPV symptoms range from mild infections of the upper respiratory tract to infections as serious as bronchiolitis and pneumonia. From 2018 to 2019, there was a high incidence of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in the State of Goiás with a relative increase in hMPV incidence. This study aimed to assess the hMPV epidemiology of cases treated at tertiary hospitals of Goiás, as there are not significant published data from hMPV infection in Brazil. We performed a retrospective and descriptive analysis of a case series of patients infected with hMPV diagnosed by PCR (16 individuals), through medical records review from 2017 to 2019. The observed age distribution was bimodal, with the disease affecting individuals at extremes of age (median of 3.5 years old in the first stratum and median of 52 years in the second stratum). The time between the onset of flu-like symptoms and the first medical assessment had an average of 5 days. The most frequent severe symptoms were respiratory distress/dyspnea and oxygen saturation <95% (93.7% as media), even in patients without comorbidities. The most frequent complications were acute renal failure (18.7%) and healthcare-associated infections (43.7%). Death occurred in 37.5% of patients. hMPV may cause upper and lower respiratory tract infections in patients of all age groups, but the symptomatic disease occurs more frequently at extremes of age. In the pandemic caused by a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which is known to lead to influenza-like and SARS, the differential diagnosis of the etiologic agent becomes paramount.

Published: January 2023

Schistosomiasis is an endemic disease in Brazil and the State with the highest positive rate in the country is Sergipe. Herein, we assessed data from the Brazilian Schistosomiasis Control Program (PCE) in the State of Sergipe between the period 2008 and 2017. We evaluated data about schistosomiasis and snails of the genus Biomphalaria. We used the log-linear regression model (joinpoint) to assess temporal trends and the Kernel estimator for spatial statistics analysis. According to the PCE, Sergipe has 51 endemic municipalities for schistosomiasis. Nevertheless, information about the disease and that collected by the PCE has not been recorded regularly in all endemic municipalities. Additionally, only nine municipalities (17.6%) carried out the malacological survey. The average of positive rate from schistosomiasis in Sergipe was 8.4%. However, our data suggest that it may be underestimated. The spatial analysis maps (Kernel maps) showed areas of high transmission of the disease in municipalities close to the São Francisco River and in the metropolitan region of the State. Altogether, our findings suggest that schistosomiasis has been underreported and it is still a serious public health concern in Sergipe. In addition, there are significant failures in the conduction of PCE’s activities by the municipalities.

Authors: Nikolov Petar
Published: January 2023

Sixteen taxa of the species group undescribed up to now in Bulgaria are discussed in this paper. They belong to 13 genera and 10 families of Bivalvia class. The species were found in outcrops of the reef facies exposed between the villages of Tarnene and Bivolare along the right bank of the Vit River to the west of the town of Pleven. They belong to the Opanec Formation. Only Late Moravian (Orbulina suturalis Foraminiferal Zone) and Wielichkian (Uvigerina Foraminiferal Zone) sediments of the Badenian regional Stage are exposed there. The bivalvian fauna is diverse and facially well tied but it is not a criterion by the subdivision of the Badenian Regional Stage into Substages.

Published: January 2023

Data newly obtained by the authors together with already published evidence allow for a new analysis of the Triassic stratigraphy in the Strandzha Mountains. The Triassic in the Strandzha Mountains is referred with certainty to the Tethyan type of evolution. Its zonal stratigraphy is being detailized on the basis of conodont fauna, and the section is reconstructed and correlated with the other sections in Bulgaria. The numerous lithostratigraphic units already introduced have been created mainly due to secondary features as different degree of metamorphism and of tectonic reworking. They are now generalized into four formal units (Formations), and namely (from bottom to top): the basal Stravnitsa Formation built up of metagravelites, metapsammites and interbedded fine-pebble conglomerates; the Zaberska Formation (with two members, Gramatikovo and Kaziyskidol Members, respectively), built up of flyschoid alternation of shales, phyllites, metasiltstones, metapsammites, and marmorized limestones as well as of basic volcanics and ore bodies, within the age range from upper parts of the Spathian to lowermost parts of the Aegean Substage of the Anisian Stage; Kondolovo Formation built up of limestones and marmorized limestones, with Anisian (Pelsonian and Illyrian Substages) and Ladinian (Fassanian and lower and middle parts of the Longobardian Substage) age; and (at the top) the Lipacka Formation built up of flyschoid interbedding of limestones, slates and sandstones within the range upper parts of the Ladinian (Upper Longobardian Substage) – Norian (Lacian and parts of the Alaunian Substage).

Rubber Plantation Smallholders’ Management Model in Traditional Farming Practices in North Sumatera, Indonesia
Authors: Martial Tri , Asaad Mhd , Gunawan Indra
Published: January 2023

The study is aimed at determining the role of various social-economic variables on the income of rubber plantation smallholders and help develop the plantations in North Sumatra, Indonesia. It uses descriptive methods to assess such variables. The results show the number of dependents, education, land status, seed sources, seed quality, planters, fertilization, farmer age, land area, and the age of rubber plants to determine their income by 45.2%. Also, the land status, area, and fertilization become the primary determinants of revenue in the smallholder's rubber plantation business, though their business is still managed traditionally. Traditional cultivation patterns prove that farmers try to improve land in order to boost revenues. High education does not support the increase of income when the approach to cultivation remains traditional. Efforts to encourage productivity can be made by optimizing the inputs to the land.

Low-resource bilingual lexicon extraction using graph based word embeddings
Authors: Gutierrez-Vasquez Ximena , Mijangos Victor
Published: January 2023

In this work we focus on the task of automatically extracting bilingual lexicon for the language pair Spanish-Nahuatl. This is a low-resource setting where only a small amount of parallel corpus is available. Most of the downstream methods do not work well under low-resources conditions. This is specially true for the approaches that use vectorial representations like Word2Vec. Our proposal is to construct bilingual word vectors from a graph. This graph is generated using translation pairs obtained from an unsupervised word alignment method. We show that, in a low-resource setting, these type of vectors are successful in representing words in a bilingual semantic space. Moreover, when a linear transformation is applied to translate words from one language to another, our graph based representations considerably outperform the popular setting that uses Word2Vec.

Does BCL-2 Play Role in the Pathogenesis of Primary Oral Mucosal Melanoma?
Authors: Hsieh Ricardo , Lourenço Silvia Vanessa
Published: January 2023

Primary Oral Mucosal Melanoma represents 0.2 to 8% of all melanomas and 0.5% of all oral malignant neoplasia. The etiology still unknown, however, it has been suggested that head and neck mucosal melanomas change their genetic and metabolic pathways through intracellular cascades, which are associated with its etiopathogenesis mechanisms. The BCL2 protein is an integral part of the cell membrane, and it is also found in the cell nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum. It is overexpressed in several malignant neoplasms, including cutaneouse ocular melanomas. Among all evaluated cases, we found positive immunostaining of BCL-2 in 26/34 (76.47%) and they had a membrane and cytoplasmic pattern, and the intensity was variable. According to our results and the findings of the literature, it can be suggested that BCL-2 has an important role in melanoma pathogenesis, including Primary Oral Mucosal Melanoma and also melanoma metastases. It seems that BCL-2 could be an adjunct marker for POMM and also a target for treatment development. New researches involving BCL-2 and a larger primary oral mucosal melanoma cohort could corroborate the present study

Authors: Mahin Humaira Haider , Beck Matthew , Palasovski Toni , Napaki Sarbar
Published: January 2023

We report a case of Li Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS), where our patient was affected by two malignancies before the age of 30: chondroblastic osteosarcoma and unilateral breast ductal carcinoma in situ. Her daughter was diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma at the age of four, and her mum was diagnosed with cervical cancer when she was in her 20’s. After her daughter’s cancer diagnosis, she and her family members underwent genetic testing. She and her daughter were found to have Tumour Protein 53 gene (TP53) mutation suggestive for Li Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS). Patients with LFS should be managed with a surveillance program with minimal exposure to radiation therapy due to their high risk for second primary cancer. This report will make the clinician aware of this syndrome for early diagnosis and management.

Authors: Agnello Maria Carmen
Published: January 2023

This article analyses the different profiles related to communication risk, such as all errors, adverse events, that occur within the care path. In this respect, an analysis of a variety of factors shows a twofold trend. Innovation is a level that can positively influence communication risk, on the other hand, towards deospedalization towards multiple forms of taking charge at territorial level require a multi-factorial communication based on different channels. Based on this dual perspective, the article analyzes the set of organizational measures planned and implemented in a preventive and proactive key in the different dimensions of communication both and public. This analytical path is to be modulated concerning the different objectives pursued by communication in health both in ordinary times and emergency through the management of information in the different institutional and organizational levels involved.
Synthesis of Antler Antlers, for Research on Neuropeptide Y, in Relation to Calcitonin, at the Ligament Level
Authors: Pianel Dominique
Published: January 2023

The horizontal and multidisciplinary study gives depth to our clinical approach and comparative anatomy can be used to understand the physiological behaviours for this study. The production of nearly 14 kilos of bone in the antlers, in less than 100 days in the Red Deer is the trigger for the research. Embryology is a relational guide between the mandible, the desmodontal ligament and the stomach which are also under the influence of the functions of the neuropeptide Y which we propose to study. Powerful orexigenic, because it increases the level of insulin and consequently the reserve, lipido-glucidic, it is its hypotensive natriuretic activity which positions the NPY in the neuropeptides with digestive prevalence. Its involvement in the calcium chain means that NPY will be studied in spectrography and immunofluorescence in our research, at the ligament level to reflect, biomechanics in a sense of functional and chemical stimulation.

Background: Covid-19 virus infection is a pandemic disease. Incidence of COVID-19 infection in children and neonates is less than adults. Neonates may be contaminated by close contact with the infected family members or environment. However, infection via transplacental transmission and breast feeding has not been proved yet. Hospitals face shortages of resources in the outbreaks. This becomes more important in underdeveloped countries. Methods: We have studied the neonates who underwent surgical interventions in emergent or urgent conditions. No specific protection measures were applied in the operating room and neonatal intensive care unit for patients without symptoms or positive history of contact, in an attempt to save the resources of the hospital. All the neonates and their families were followed up for two weeks. Results: Forty patients and their families were studied. At admission, our patients neither demonstrated symptoms of the disease nor gave positive history of contact, hence received surgical intervention in the ordinary protection. One patient suffered from respiratory problems in the post-operative period and tested positive for the Covid-19 infection. Six patients and Five family members became symptomatic during the follow-up. All of them tested negative for the diseases and recovered. Conclusion: Based on the results of our study, surgical interventions for the critical neonates without positive symptoms or history neither should be postponed nor be necessarily dependent on the application of the corona specific personal protection. This gains most significance in the peak of outbreak, especially in underdeveloped countries.
Paediatric Elbow Flexion Reconstruction with the Latissimus Dorsi Muscle Flap, Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Monaisa Brian , Phiri Sibusiso , Ndobe Elias
Published: January 2023

We have conducted two latissimus dorsi transfers for elbow function reconstruction in paediatric patients at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital. The first patient was a four-year-old girl with distal, asymmetric arthrogryposis, involving the shoulder, elbow, and wrist. The second patient was a five-year-old boy with paediatric brachial plexus injury, with C5 and C6 root avulsions with an inability to flex the elbow, as well as a glenohumeral contracture. He presented following a rotational humerus osteotomy. We performed a unipolar latissimus dorsi transfer in both patients with good results. We also performed a literature review to compare the available methods of elbow flexion reconstruction, especially in paediatric cases. We believe that the latissimus dorsi transfer is the preferred muscle transfer for reconstructing elbow function and the literature review supports this assertion.

Published: January 2023

The number of patients with T2DM is progressively increasing all over the world, and one of the most severe chronic complications of diabetes is the development of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). The burden of diabetes is now a huge Palestinian public health challenge increase substantially in the next two decades. The aim of the study to investigate the relationship between plasma Galactin-3 and NT-BNP level with the development of CVD in T2DM in Palestinian patients. Case-control study design, this study was conducted in the laboratory of Central laboratory in Remal Clinic, Gaza Strip-Palestine in the period from July to October 2018, included 180 subjects divided to the three groups control, T2DM patients and T2DM with CVD, 60 individual in each group, matching for age. Vacutainer serum and EDTA blood samples were collected from all participants for the laboratory analysis. These results showed that there were highly significant differences (P>0.01) in serum Galectin-3 level in the T2DM group compared with T2DM and CVD group, while NT-BNP results there was no significant difference between the T2DM group and T2DM with CVD group. Also, the study revealed that Galectin-3 was found to be more sensitive and specific by using Roc curve statistical test (sensitivity was 83.3%, specificity was 75.0%, p <0.01), than NT-BNP (sensitivity was 81.7%, specificity was 23.3% p >0.05) in predicting cardiovascular complications in T2DM patients We concluded that the Galectin-3 is the best novel biomarkers in comparison with NT-BNP that aid in the early diagnostic and prognostic evaluation either alone or in combination with other biomarkers for cardiovascular complications in a patient with T2DM.
