O câncer de mama é uma neoplasia maligna que se origina no tecido mamário e é caracterizado pela proliferação desordenada e desregulada de células epiteliais. De acordo com a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), o câncer de mama é o tipo de câncer mais comum entre as mulheres em todo o mundo e também no Brasil. Sua alta incidência e prevalência tornaram-no um dos principais desafios de saúde pública no país, destacando a necessidade de estratégias eficazes para sua detecção precoce e manejo. No Brasil, a estimativa do Instituto Nacional de Câncer (INCA) é de que, em 2024, ocorram mais de 70 mil novos casos de câncer de mama, com uma taxa de mortalidade também elevada, refletindo um grande impacto social e econômico. Este estudo visa aprofundar a compreensão dos fatores que influenciam o sucesso ou fracasso dessas iniciativas, bem como propor soluções práticas que possam melhorar a detecção precoce e, consequentemente, reduzir os índices de mortalidade e morbidade relacionadas ao câncer de mama. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, a qual investigou sobre o rastreamento do câncer de mama no Brasil, pela coleta de dados nas plataformas PubMed, LILACS, Periódicos CAPES, EMBASE e Scielo. Assim,   a análise dos estudos revisados revela que a detecção precoce do câncer de mama no Brasil, especialmente no contexto da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS), enfrenta uma série de desafios e limitações que comprometem a eficácia das políticas públicas e a adesão das mulheres ao rastreamento. A implementação da mamografia, apesar de apresentar boas taxas de cobertura em algumas regiões, ainda encontra barreiras significativas, principalmente no acesso à Atenção Especializada (AE), com taxas de detecção do câncer relativamente baixas, o que sugere deficiências no processo de diagnóstico e encaminhamento.

The paper examines the construction of a trade turnover model between Russia and China based on annual data from 2000 to 2022. The model includes the main macroeconomic factors as regressors: Russian GDP, Chinese GDP, Brend oil price, US dollar exchange rate and pandemic indicator. To check the adequacy of the model, the Salkever method was used, which has a numerical advantage when implemented in Excel. A proof is given of the equality of the standard errors of parameter estimates for dummy regressors of the auxiliary regression model of the Salkever method to the standard errors of forecasts used to construct interval estimates of endogenous variables when checking the adequacy of the model.

Authors: Nhac Thanh-Huong
Published: December 2024

In the international integration era, intercultural communication has become an integral part fostering the globalization process. As a means of communication intermediary within different parts of the world, translation should not only communicate the original message but also support the understanding among partners. Teaching translation from intercultural communication perspectives, therefore, has attracted the attention of educators. This current study endeavors to ascertain the challenges of teaching translation in a context of a Vietnamese law school from the perspective of intercultural communication. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven lecturers of translation to clarify their views on teaching translation during the second semester of the academic year 2023-2024. Interestingly, the result acknowledges the obstacles concerning learners’ insufficient knowledge, their neglect of culture and interculture importance, teaching materials and teaching methods. Based on such findings, several recommendations in terms of raising learners’ awareness, improving teaching content and materials as well as teaching methods were made with the hope of enhancing the teaching and learning translation process in the context of global intercultural communication.

Published: December 2024

During the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jordan enforced a nationwide lockdown. In an attempt to sustain education, the Ministry of Education immediately transitioned to online instruction through Darsak (Arabic for Your Lesson) platform to provide free of charge daily Arabic, English, physics, mathematics, computer science, history, and financial literacy lessons to public school first- through twelfth-grade students in the country. To determine the potential effect of self-regulated learning in online instruction on Jordanian EFL students’ reading comprehension, a quasi-experimental design was used with a sample of three ninth-grade sections from a purposefully selected all-girl school in Amman, Jordan. The three sections were randomly distributed into two experimental groups taught online, one through Darsak II (the official Ministry of Education platform) and the other through Facebook, and one control group taught per the guidelines of the prescribed teacher’s book. A 10-week, two-tiered instructional program was designed, validated, and then implemented to the experimental groups whereas the control group received conventional face-to-face instruction. The participants’ reading comprehension was tested before and after the treatment across the three groups. Not only was online instruction found to boost overall reading comprehension, but it was found to positively affect specific reading skills such as scanning and inferencing, more so than conventional face-to-face instruction. Furthermore, no statistically significant differences were found in reading comprehension between the participants of the two experimental groups. This research provides preliminary evidence for the utility of online instruction for self-regulated learning of reading comprehension, which goes beyond times of crisis into normal everyday schooling.
Der Verfluchteste. Zur tragischen Form nach Sophokles’ König Ödipus
Authors: Rocks Carolin
Published: December 2024

Abstract Der Beitrag diskutiert die strukturgebende Bedeutung des Fluchs in Sophokles’ Tragödie König Ödipus. Es wird argumentiert, dass der Fluch die tragische Form vollends bestimmt. Den Fluchtpunkt der Überlegungen bildet Schillers viel
zitierte Einschätzung des König Ödipus (,tragische Analysis‘). Die generische Produktivität der Verquickung von Fluch und Tragödie wird primär anhand des mehr als nur einschlägigen antiken Textes aufgezeigt, dessen ,verfluchte‘ Form noch
Schiller als Verfahrensskript beschäftigt.
Der Fluch und seine Rekapitulationen. Zum Beispiel Der vierundzwanzigste Februar von Zacharias Werner
Authors: Niehaus Michael
Published: December 2024

Abstract Der vierundzwanzigste Februar von Zacharias Werner, 1810 in Weimar uraufgeführt, gilt als Paradigma des Schicksalsdramas. Verhandelt wird in diesem Einakter das Schicksal einer Familie, die unter der ,,Wirkung des Fluchs“ – so der ursprüngliche
Titel – ihre eigene Auslöschung rekapituliert und damit vorantreibt. Der Fluch ist einerseits ein übergroßer väterlicher und gleichsam mythologischer Sprechakt, dessen Wirkung aber andererseits dadurch am Leben gehalten wird, dass er innerhalb einer Familienkommunikation
ständig wieder aufgerufen wird. Auf eine bewundernswert folgerichtige Art und Weise buchstabiert das Drama die nur scheinbar einfache Tautologie aus, dass der Fluch ein Fluch ist. Denn zwar erweist es sich, dass der Fluch innerhalb einer Familie nur unverantwortlich und voreilig in großem
Zorn ausgesprochen wird, aber es erweist sich auch, dass jede Selbstzuschreibung des Verflucht-Seins heillos ist.

Promoting Inclusivity and Multiculturalism: The Role of Muslim Scholars in Cape Town's Community Peacebuilding
Authors: Mohammed Tawffeek , Al-Sowaidi Belqes , Muhammed Lubwama
Published: December 2024

Religion plays a significant role in conflict prevention and peacebuilding, as demonstrated during the July 2021 riots in South Africa, when religious leaders actively contributed to reducing violence, particularly in KwaZulu-Natal. This study investigates the responses of Cape Town Muslim clerics and imams to the crisis through their sermons, focusing on their contributions to South Africa’s peacebuilding initiatives and the promotion of multiculturalism. Specifically, this study examines the Friday Nasiha (advice sermon) titled “Prayer Reflections on the Political Crisis of Our Country”, delivered by Imam Rashied Omer on Friday, 30 July 2021 (19 Dhul-Hijjah 1442) at the Claremont Main Road Mosque in Cape Town. Nasiha is analyzed within the framework of maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah (objectives of Islamic law) to evaluate its role in advancing peacebuilding efforts during the July 2021 unrest. Qualitative thematic analysis is used to explain how Islamic principles such as zakat (almsgiving) and ṣadaqah (charitable giving) address immediate socio-economic challenges and long-term structural justice. The findings underscore the role of religious leaders in times of conflict. The study concludes that Islamic teachings, when effectively applied in crisis situations, can significantly enhance peacebuilding efforts and support structural reforms in diverse societies.
Sulh (Resolution) of Family Dispute and its Application in The Shariah Courts of Malaysia
Authors: Binti Che Adnan Norfatin Najwa
Published: December 2024

The resolution of family disputes through Sulh in Malaysia's Shariah courts represents a pivotal area of research that promotes peaceful conflict resolution, preserves familial bonds, and aligns with Islamic teachings and legal principles. This study examines the effectiveness of Sulh as an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanism, emphasizing its capacity to address family conflicts in a culturally sensitive manner. By analyzing data from the Shariah Judiciary Department of Malaysia, which reported a considerable number of successfully resolved Sulh cases in 2021, the research underscores its role in expediting resolutions and alleviating case backlogs in Shariah courts. While Sulh demonstrates notable successes, public confidence in it remains limited compared to traditional litigation methods. The study seeks to identify factors contributing to the success of Sulh, proposing strategies to enhance its accessibility, transparency, and fairness. By offering actionable insights for policymakers, legal practitioners, and court administrators, this research aims to strengthen the Shariah court system's capacity to deliver justice efficiently, foster amicable agreements, and reduce the burden of extended litigation. Furthermore, the findings provide a foundation for legislative and legal reforms, including the development of comprehensive laws, guidelines, and training programs tailored to Sulh procedures. Ultimately, this research aspires to elevate public awareness and acceptance of Sulh as an effective ADR mechanism within the Islamic legal framework, promoting its broader adoption and understanding among Malaysians.

The current research aims to comprehend the patterns of urban growth and its impact on groundwater in the lower region of the Kharun catchment in Chhattisgarh, a state in India, given that urbanization is a significant human-induced change to the environ- ment. The study employs a practical approach using remote sensing, Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques, and R program- ming to analyze changes in land use and the Normalized Difference Built-Up Index (NDBI). This approach aids in understanding how urban areas have evolved over time. Additionally, traditional data sources are used to characterize urban growth, while an Inverse Dis- tance Weighting (IDW) interpolation technique is utilized to map groundwater levels spatially. To assess the significance of groundwater level changes, the study employs the modified Mann Kendall’s (MMK) test, alongside the Sen slope estimator and Linear regression to quantify the magnitude of these trends. The findings reveal a substantial increase in urban built-up areas over the past two decades, par- ticularly in the southeastern part known as Atal Nagar, accompanied by fluctuations in groundwater levels, notably in the central, south-eastern, and south-western regions. This suggests that urban expansion has contributed to environmental changes in these areas. The re- search methodology employed in this study shows great potential in shedding light on the intricate dynamics of urbanization. It is espe- cially noteworthy due to the substantial fluctuations in groundwater levels that were observed in areas undergoing rapid development, such as the extensions of Raipur and Durg cities, as well as the Naya Raipur region. These findings are of paramount importance as they provide valuable insights that can inform the creation of well-informed policies and regulations. These policies and regulations are essen- tial for effectively addressing the multifaceted challenges that arise as a result of urban growth and its associated impacts on the environ- ment, infrastructure, and the overall well-being of the residents. In essence, this research is a vital step towards sustainable urban develop- ment and management, where it becomes possible to mitigate the negative effects of urbanization while harnessing its benefits for the betterment of society.

Global and regional water resources systems will be impacted by climate change and the inflow to drinking water reser-voirs is a significant issue. Urbanization increases water demand in cities, and deteriorating infrastructures lead to leaks in water distri¬bution systems. The study aims to evaluate and create a new water distribution system for Surat City’s North Zone in India. WATER- GEMS which is a computer program used in hydraulic behavior simulation with the pressure pipe networks was used. The water distri¬bution network has been analyzed for a 24 × 7 continuous water supply for the present population. Population forecasting is also carried out for 30 years by considering 2022 as the base year. The existing water distribution network was analyzed for future demand, in which it is observed that some portion of the water distribution network is not enough to deliver the necessary quantity with the least amount of pressure and head loss. The water distribution network is then redesigned as per the requirement to reduce head loss and maintain the minimum pressure as per Central Public Health & Environmental Engineering Organisation (CPHEEO). It was found that the pressure at all junctions and the flow with their velocities at all pipes are sufficient to supply the network of the study region with enough water. The study's conclusions will aid decision-makers in addressing the issue of water scarcity and meeting user needs.

Tensiones socioambientales en la provincia El Loa: expansión extractiva y etnicidad en territorio atacameño (1990-2010)
Authors: Azócar Duarte Rodrigo
Published: December 2024

Este artículo aborda la acumulación de tensiones socio-ambientales en la provincia El Loa, Región de Antofagasta, durante los gobiernos de la Concertación de Partidos por la Democracia (1990-2010), que reconocieron nuevos derechos étnicos y ambientales en resguardo de la estructura jurídica neoliberal de la dictadura. Durante este período nacieron al menos nueve grandes operaciones mineras, además de otros proyectos extractivos, mientras que en forma paralela se implementaba la Ley Indígena (1993) y la Ley de Bases Generales del Medio Ambiente (1994), que entregaron nuevas herramientas jurídicas a las comunidades locales para su defensa de los recursos naturales. Mediante una metodología cualitativa basada en la revisión de archivos de prensa, trabajo de campo y entrevistas, narramos esta trama de contradicciones, asimetrías y complejidades entre empresas, Estado y comunidades indígenas. Concluimos que este período fue clave en la zona, pues se configuró un sistema interétnico inexistente en las décadas pasadas, que modificó las relaciones en este campo social. En tal escenario, si la minería y otras actividades extractivas aumentaron e intensificaron la explotación de la naturaleza (agua, minerales y energía), además de provocar importantes episodios de contaminación, las comunidades asumieron su identidad indígena, elaboraron una demanda étnica y defendieron sus recursos naturales, mediante la judicialización de casos y/o la protesta social, emergiendo nuevas relaciones interétnicas.

Published: December 2024

An original mathematical model describing the photo fermentation process is proposed. The model represents the first attempt to describe the photo fermentative hydrogen production and polyhydroxybutyrate accumulation, simultaneously. The mathematical model is derived from mass balance principles and consists of a system of ordinary differential equations describing the biomass growth, the nitrogen and the substrate degradation, the hydrogen and other catabolites production, and the polyhydroxybutyrate accumulation in photo fermentation systems. Moreover, the model takes into account important inhibiting phenomena, such as the self-shading and the substrate inhibition, which can occur during the evolution of the process. The calibration was performed using a real experimental data set and it was supported by the results of a sensitivity analysis study. The results showed that the most sensitive parameters for both hydrogen and PHB production were the hydrogen yield on substrate, the catabolites yield on substrate, and the biomass yield. Successively, a different experimental data set was used to validate the model. Performance indicators showed that the model could efficiently be used to simulate the photo fermentative hydrogen and polyhydroxybutyrate production by Rhodopseudomonas palustris. For instance, the index of agreement of 0.95 was observed for the validated hydrogen production trend. Moreover, the model well predicted the maximum PHB accumulation in bacterial cells. Indeed, the predicted and observed accumulated PHB were 4.5 and 4.8%, respectively. Further numerical simulations demonstrated the model consistency in describing process inhibiting phenomena. Numerical simulations showed that the acetate and nitrogen inhibition phenomena take place when concentrations are higher than 12.44 g L-1 and lower than 4.76 mg L-1, respectively. Finally, the potential long term hydrogen production from accumulated polyhydroxybutyrate in bacterial cells was studied via a fast-slow analysis technique.

Published: December 2024

In order to be classified as a fan, one must go beyond simply watching and become a participatory viewer, taking the text and engaging with it beyond the existing material, resulting in a form of labor. I discuss the additional labor Black female fans must perform when negotiating with their fan objects in the wake of the intersection of racial and gender marginalization.
La proportionnalité en éthique des soins
Authors: Cléro Jean-Pierre
Published: December 2024

Nous nous proposons d'analyser la notion de proportionnalité, comme une sorte d'analogie. Sans doute, les mathématiques peuvent-elles, sur des modes variés, nous permettre de donner forme à cette notion et n'y a-t-il pas d'éthique de la proportion sans elles. En particulier, il paraît important d'essayer de fabriquer des « espaces éthiques » avec des notions telles que : équivalence, équilibre, proximité, distance, symétrie, dissymétrie ; et des notions assez semblables de logique du temps. Mais les mathématiques ne sauraient suffire par elles-mêmes à déterminer ce qui est juste. Dès lors, comment fonctionne la normativité qu'enferme la proportionnalité ? Y a-t-il une rationalité de la proportionnalité ? comme norme ?

Authors: Liu Jingge
Published: December 2024

This study examines the rural tourism areas of Guizhou Province, China, utilizing factor analysis to assess the quality of the human ecological environment. A comprehensive index system with three primary and six secondary indicators was developed, revealing significant improvements in ecological conditions since 2005. While rural tourism shows potential for ecological revitalization and sustainable development, the research identifies challenges such as inconsistent service quality and limited stakeholder awareness of eco-environmental indicators. The study advocates for integrating ecological and socio-economic dimensions into tourism strategies and emphasizes the importance of community engagement in planning processes. Overall, the findings provide actionable insights for policymakers and tourism developers to balance economic growth with ecological preservation, promoting a sustainable rural tourism sector.
Enhancing Traffic Systems

Published: December 2024

The automobile industry is witnessing a global surge in the development and deployment of autonomous vehicles. These vehicles are expected to safely navigate highways, recognize obstacles, and interpret both temporary and permanent traffic signs, making Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) essential for enhancing safety and efficiency. While significant advancements have been made in recognizing traffic signs in English, Arabic Traffic Sign (ArTS) recognition remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by optimizing seven deep learning (DL) architectures—MobileNetV2, EfficientNetB0, DenseNet121, ResNeXt50, InceptionV3, NASNetLarge, and ResNet-50—on a recently compiled Arabic Traffic Sign Recognition (ArTS) dataset. Our experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of these optimized models, suggesting their potential to improve the efficiency and safety of autonomous systems in Arabic-speaking regions.

Objectives:

On the first line of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) treatment, ovulation with clomiphene citrate (CC) is induced. However, 25% of patients need alternative therapy. Laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) can result in successive ovulations and is not linked to ovarian hyperstimulation. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to consider the efficacy of unilateral LOD (ULOD) versus bilateral LOD (BLOD) for enhancing fertility and improving fertility outcomes in women with CC-resistant.

Materials and Methods:

A comprehensive literature search was conducted up to July 15, 2023, to identify relevant randomized controlled trials in PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library databases. Thirteen articles were included in the meta-analysis. After data extraction, we performed a meta-analysis.

Results:

As the main unit of analysis for each variable, the standardized mean difference was used between the two groups. The random effects model was used for analysis and heterogeneity was assessed by I
2 statistics. Publication bias was inspected through funnel plots and Begg’s and Egger’s regression tests. The included studies were divided into two general categories. In the first category, surgical treatment of LOD was compared with other treatments. Whereas, in the other category, ULOD was compared with BLOD.

Conclusion:

In summary, this meta-analysis did not find a significant difference in the rate of ovulation, pregnancy, miscarriage, and live birth between the two groups. However, LOD could cause damage to the ovarian reserve, but it has long-term effects on improving the menstrual cycle and reproduction. In general, LOD is a significant method for the treatment of infertility in PCOS, which needs further investigation.

Published: December 2024

Background:

Smoking is one of the leading causes of death in the world, and the respiratory tract is the major body system affected by smoking. Yoga has shown promising effects in improving lung function in previous studies. Mind sound resonance technique (MSRT) is one of the Yoga-based relaxation techniques, which improves internal awareness and reduces impulsivity.

Aim:

Hence, we aimed to assess the efficacy of MSRT on pulmonary function and smoking behavior among smokers.

Methodology:

A total of 197 subjects were screened among whom 80 were recruited and randomly allocated (1:1) to a study group (SG) (n = 40) who received 10 days of 25-min MSRT intervention and a control group (CG) (n = 40) who received health education during the same period. Baseline assessment was taken before intervention for both the groups. Pulmonary function was assessed by spirometry. All subjects were administered the Smoking Abstinence Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (SASEQ) to assess the motivation to quit smoking, the Minnesota Tobacco Withdrawal Scale-Revised (MTWS) to assess withdrawal symptoms on smoking cessation, and the Questionnaire of Smoking Urges to evaluate the urge to smoke, before and after the 10-day intervention. The data were analyzed based on the intention-to-treat principle.

Results:

There were no baseline differences across all parameters between the two groups. There was a statistically significant change in all pulmonary function variables including FVC (P < 0.001), FEV1 (P < 0.001), FEV1/FVC ratio (P < 0.05), forced expiratory flow 25%–75% (P < 0.001), peak expiratory flow rate (P < 0.001), and breath-holding time (P < 0.001) both within the SG and when compared to the CG. Within the CG, only FEV1 (P = 0.002) showed a significant change when compared to baseline. Within-group comparison showed a significant change in all the domains of SASEQ (P < 0.001) and few of the domains of MTWS-Revised (P < 0.001) and Questionnaire of Smoking Urges (P < 0.001) in both the groups. Between-group comparison showed a statistically significant difference in all three smoking behavior assessments in the SG when compared to the CG after 10 days of intervention.

Conclusion:

The practice of MSRT might help in improving the lung function and also reduce the withdrawal symptoms, craving, urge, and negative affect among smokers. Hence, it can be explored as a low-cost, easy to self-administer, and adjuvant intervention in aiding smoking cessation among smokers.
