Authors: Bani Hani Laith , Azeez Ahmed Saadoon , Benny N Solomon
Published: April 2024

Author from the United States who enlisted in the military during the Vietnam War. “The majority of his works are about Vietnam during the conflict, and his latter works often investigate the life of Vietnam soldiers after the war. O'Brien is perhaps most known for his book, which was published in 1990 and titled The Things They Carried. This book is a compilation of connected semi-autobiographical tales that were inspired by O'Brien's experiences during the war. The latter was referred to be " a masterpiece of modern war fiction" by The New York Times in the year 2010. Going For Cacciato, O'Brien's book about the conflict that was published in 1978 and won the National Book Prize, is another reason for the author's widespread reputation. In spite of the fact that O'Brien is most known for his writings on the Vietnam War, he is also highly regarded as a teacher and instructor of creative writing. From 2003 to 2012, he was the holder of an endowed chair in the Master of Fine Arts programme at Texas State University–San Marcos. The purpose of this article is to provide thematic interpretations on a selection of Tim O'Brien's works.”

Published: April 2024

The management of kidney stones in patients with horseshoe kidney is a challenge for all urologists, given the low prevalence of the anomaly. There are very few reports of treatment through laparoscopic pyelolithotomy in the literature. Our aim was to share the results and experience obtained in the treatment of stones in horseshoe kidney through transperitoneal laparoscopic pyelolithotomy.
Methodology: A retrospective, observational, cross-sectional, analytic study was conducted on patients diagnosed with horseshoe kidney and kidney stones, confirmed by non-contrast abdominal tomography, and treated through transperitoneal laparoscopic pyelolithotomy, within the time frame of January 2010 and January 2020.
Results: There were 4 cases of renal pelvic stones in horseshoe kidney, all of which were men. Mean patient age was 33.5 years, mean BMI 32.25 kg/m2, mean surgery duration 125 minutes, mean blood loss 55 ml, and mean hospital stay 2.75 days. The stone-free rate was 100 %. Blood loss and age, blood loss and stone size, and BMI and surgery duration were significantly correlated.
Conclusions: Based on our experience, transperitoneal laparoscopic pyelolithotomy is an excellent alternative for treating kidney stones in patients with horseshoe kidney.
Tumor papilar renal de células claras bifocal no asociado a enfermedad renal terminal
Authors: Cabrera-Zavala Alejandro , Soria-Céspedes Danny , Arce-Alcázar Alejandro
Published: April 2024

Clinical case description: A 63-year-old man with gastrointestinal symptoms without history of kidney disease. Through an abdominal computed axial tomography study, two lesions were detected in the right kidney that were resected. By morphology both lesions showed papillary pattern with clear cell features, low grade and fibromuscular stroma. By immunohistochemistry cytokeratin 7, cytokeratin 34βE12, carbonic anhydrase IX, PAX8, parafibromin and vimentin were positive, while CD10, AMARC, RCC, TFE3 were negative.
Clinical implications: Clear cell papillary renal cell tumor (CCPRCT) is a recognized entity that has a unique morphologic and immunohistochemical features with an indolent clinical behavior with no recurrences, metastases or lymph node involvement. It was initially described in conjunction with end-stage renal disease; however, sporadic cases have been described in patients without kidney disease. It is important to correctly differentiate from other subtypes with worse prognosis.
Relevance: CCPRCT previously called carcinoma has changed its name in the latest WHO publication (2022) due to the absence of cases with metastasis or recurrence, it is an indolent neoplasm that must be differentiated from other more aggressive tumors.
Conclusions: CCPRCT can occur in patients without history of renal disease, it has an excellent prognosis, partial or total nephrectomy is the treatment of choice. The pathologist must differentiate it from other renal cell tumors with more aggressive behavior.
Etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of encrusted cystitis and pyelitis: Review of the problem from a historical perspective
Authors: Soriano-García Francisco , Fernández-Natal Isabel
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Encrusted cystitis and pyelitis share many similarities regarding etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment. These processes usually occur on previously injured urological tissue with the participation of an infection by urease-producing bacteria. At present Corynebacterium urealyticum, a highly antibiotic-resistant bacteria, appears to be the pathogen most often involved in these processes. In this review we analyze the history of these diseases with special emphasis on the scientific advances of the last century. We also review the role of urease and bacterial infection as well as a brief update on the epidemiological, histopathological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.
Relevance: The importance and severity of these pathologies that are frequently underdiagnosed and difficult to treat are stressed.
Conclusions: The clinical history, exploratory and analytical data, which highlight alkaline urine, sometimes with an ammoniacal odor, pyuria, hematuria and the presence of magnesium ammonium phosphate crystals, should alert the urologist to the existence of an encrusting uropathy. Simple radiology, ultrasound, computed tomography and endoscopic visualization of the lesions confirm the diagnosis. Treatment generally requires surgery, use of antibiotics, urinary acidifiers and bacterial urease inhibitors.

Does Firm Size Moderate the Effect of Leverage on Performance of Firms in Ghana: A Dynamic Panel Estimation Approach
Authors: Kwakye Michael , Attafuah Edward Domina
Published: April 2024

Leverage has been argued to be a crucial factor in determining profitability, and a number of studies have looked at its direct impact on firm performance, but the conclusions have been equivocal and contested. Using a dynamic panel model, the study attempted to contribute to the growing literature by first examining the impact of leverage on firm performance in Ghana, as well as the moderating function of firm size. The objectives that guided the study were the effect of leverage on firm performance and how firm size moderates the effect of leverage on firm performance. The study’s data came from listed companies. The study’s sample consisted of all the companies listed on the Ghana stock exchange with particular focus on the financial firms. Dynamic panel estimation approach, specifically Arello and Bond GMM estimation technique was used for the analyses. The results show that the effect of leverage on firm performance depends on the size of the firm. For small firms, leverage has negative effect on performance. But as firms increase in size, the negative effect of increasing leverage reduces and turns positive for very large firms. The study recommended that leaders at the firm’s helms of affairs can consider diversifying their products and service in order to expand their reach and increase their size which can positively affect performance. The study finally recommended for further studies be conducted on all firms and on all financial firms listed on the Ghana stock exchange.
metamorphoses
Authors: Grigoryeva Elena
Published: April 2024

All have changed appearance. Men say a certain thing is born, if it takes a different form from what it had; and yet they say, that certain thing has died,if it no longer keeps the self same shape.Though distant things move near, and near things far, always the sum of all things is unchanged.
Publius Ovidius Naso. Metamorphoses. Book 15, lines 257-263 (Arthur Golding, Trans.)
Nothing disappears in the world, but only transforms from one form into another, exactly the same.
Mikhail Zhvanetsky
Changes in today’s world are happening with kaleidoscopic speed.
Since its inception, architecture has been perceived as a system of differentiated phenomena – styles, trends, traditions. Architecture has been divided into national and regional schools, and the history of architecture has been portrayed as a sequence of successive aesthetic complexes.
This discrete approach is increasingly being replaced by a continuous metamorphic approach, according to which architecture is more similar not to a mosaic of isolated fragments, but to a stream without clear boundaries, where everything changes and flows into each other. The paradigm shift does not happen easily. Authoritative architectural theorists are talking about a collapse of scientific architectural studies. Optimists are looking for support in related fields – psychology, history, sociology. Some are waiting for help from artificial intelligence or from spontaneous “bottom-up” creativity. As the metamorphic approach tells us, they all are right.
It can already be noted how fruitful metamorphic processes can be in the cross-fertilisation of different styles, but the dangers of blurring the boundaries are also evident. This issue contains contributions on several areas of architectural metamorphosis. As usual, we do not claim to fully disclose a complex topic. Our goal is to draw attention to the questions rather than to give exhaustive answers to them.

Metamorphoses: Transformations as a discourse of development and a form of life
Authors: Zheleznyak Olga
Published: April 2024

“Transformations” as the essence of Ovidian metamorphoses are one of the forms of life, the purpose and potentiality of the world’s development. Ambivalence often serves as a kind of stimulus for the emergence of metamorphoses or their basis. The ambivalent potential of the world provokes the expansion of transformations/metamorphoses. “Transformations” represent current trends in architecture and design, including transformations of objects and environments; the emergence of peculiar “architectural centaurs” and hybrid environments; imitations and mimicking facades/environments.
Artificial intelligence in conceptual prototyping design
Authors: Volichenko Olga , Tsurik Tatiana
Published: April 2024

The treasures of world architecture, reflecting theories and concepts, principles and techniques of design, are an inexhaustible base for the growth and development of young architects, searching for ideas to create the image and form of an object. Artificial intelligence, in addition to developing floor plans, structural layouts, patterns for environmental and organisational decisions, etc., can effectively generate conceptual and prototypical images using the diffusion method. Artificial intelligence can significantly reduce the time of the creative process by offering a wide range of options for creative and practical solutions based on the prototype patterns and their descriptions offered to it.
Again about Irkutsk toponymy
Authors: Gimelshteyn Alexander , Gimelshtein Irina
Published: April 2024

In Irkutsk, toponymy has been a purely theoretical science for a long time – names have been rarely given to new streets. However, street names reflect the history of the city, the memory of the people who inhabited it, the sights and ideological preferences. When we give names to the streets, we form a legacy for our descendants. Toponyms should be considered as a historical monument that records all the features of the city’s life, from the relief to occupations of residents, from important objects to memorable events. “Toponymic restoration” is not an attempt at “white revenge”. This is the connection of times, this is the face of our city, which should not for the thousandth time repeat the names of streets in any Russian settlement, which have no deep connection with the territory.

HISTÓRIA DO PIANO E PIANISTAS
Authors: Rosalem-Signorelli André
Published: April 2024

As we have already asked in another scientific article: does tradition have something to teach us about how to interpret a Musical Work? Like Signorelli (2019), this work aims to demystify the concept of tradition as something old and outdated. In this scope, we use the theoretical framework embodied in the Literature Review; as well as the wealth of knowledge experienced in the author's own life. Thus, the proper alignment of technical-musical ideas with the great piano masters may have the power to form pianists engaged in technical excellence, mastery of the pianistic apparatus and faithfulness to the musical content expressed in the text written by the composer in his score.

Authors: Seibel Gleice
Published: April 2024

The decision-making process of choosing a travel destination it is a very complex topic. Why individuals travel and what influences an individual’s travelling intentions in general has been studied by different scholars. This study examines the differences in the effect of influencer marketing on cross-national consumption destination choices by focusing on the impact of influencer marketing on travel destination choices by German and Brazilian millennials. Influencer marketing is a relatively new topic and its main impact is still under evaluated. Tourist behavior theories have been the focus of much research in many tourism studies, but how German and Brazilian millennial travelers’ intentions are shaped by influencer marketing has not been investigated. By reviewing academic sources, this master paper aims to analyze the efficacy of the TPB for predicting German and Brazilian millennial's intention when choosing a travel destination. Data were collected from Brazil and Germany for a two-week time frame starting in the beginning of June. 231 German, Brazilian and international tourists participated in the survey. In general, the main results have been aligned with previous literature studies which have supported the application of the TPB model. The three main elements, attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control were observed to have made an effect. In addition, the findings indicated that internal and external factors are considered by German and Brazilian millennials when choosing a travel destination. Moreover, main implications, recommendations and suggestions for future studies have been provided in the last chapter of this study.

Published: April 2024

Studies shows that for each type of oil there is a proper extraction, we want to test another method for each oil and analyze efficiency and yield of the extraction if it does occur. So, we will carry out scientific research, with the objective of verifying the efficiency of the mechanical and solid-liquid process in the extraction of lipids to produce essential and vegetable oils, being characterized as a qualitative process. We will use as a sample the avocado fruit, which according to research, proved to be a fruit rich of lipids, since is easy to extract, it has a lot of possible extraction methods. For the analysis of the optimization of the extraction and quantity of lipids removed, we will use two diversified methods, a mechanical process that will take place through cold process, centrifugation and decanting of the fruit pulp and a solid-liquid process in which we will subject the sample to a certain solvent, located inside a volumetric flask that will be connected to a Soxhlet device and a condenser and will be heated with the aid of a heating blanket. The fruits will be harvested when not yet ripe and have reached their maturation process at room temperature, with little humidity and light, so that the pulp is removed in its best quality. The use of cold pressing extraction allows the oil removed to have no toxic chemical compounds, having so greater purity in relation to the solid-liquid process that uses nonpolar solvents that possibly contaminated the sample even in small quantities.

Hans-Joachim Koellreutter's Active, Creative or Open Pedagogy, as a way of musical thinking, can present many transversalities and intersections with the concept and application of the term Musical Imagination. This is the question that motivated this study. For this purpose, we will use the analytical-descriptive method with a fulcrum in the Literature Review. Thus, we intend to draw some notes that lead towards the interface between the plans considering the scope of the adopted concept of Musical Imagination to encompass the set of phases that constitute the Creative Process (or “poíesis”). In this perspective, such entanglements go “pari passu” with the notions of Becoming, Flow and Rhizome established by the master; however, they find in the prevalence of Musical Making their greatest significant load having the ability to educate more expressive and reflective artists and educators.

Authors: Tudayan Jhaynee Lou P. , Ogoy Justin Ian N. , Pangngay Jose J.
Published: April 2024

As classrooms grow increasingly diverse, cross-cultural competence (CCC) becomes imperative for pre-service teachers to create inclusive, equitable learning environments. Hence, this study focuses on developing a cross-cultural competence scale specifically for pre-service teachers that highlights the dynamic nature of education and the need to foster inclusivity amid increasing classroom diversity, aiming to address gaps concerning assessment tools dedicated explicitly for pre-service teachers. Exploratory factor analysis of an initial 29-item scale assessing knowledge, teaching flexibility, willingness to engage students, and cultural empathy administered to 109 Filipino pre-service teachers' responses ultimately yielded a 22-item, two-factor structure with sound psychometric properties: "Attitudes Toward Culturally Diverse Students" and "Cultural Knowledge and Teaching Flexibility." The factors align well with the conceptual domains of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning. This research significantly contributes a contextualized CCC instrument that enhances multicultural education and evaluates pre-service teachers' readiness for diverse classrooms, aligning with the educational dynamic imperative. In summary, this research makes an invaluable contribution to teacher training and multicultural education by developing a targeted and rigorously validated assessment tool.

Este estudo investigou como a preocupação com o rigor científico vem se configurando na pesquisa qualitativa no contexto da pós-graduação brasileira em uma amostra de dissertações e teses. Foi obtido um corpus inicial de 425 teses e dissertações para o período 2008-2018, no diretório da Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD) do Instituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia (IBICT). Uma amostra de 244 documentos desse corpus foi validada a partir de duas análises independentes, com foco nas seções “Resumo”, “Metodologia”, “Considerações finais e/ou Conclusões” e “Limitações do estudo” (quando havia). Os resultados indicam que no relato da pesquisa em 41% (n=99) dos documentos há uma apresentação de preocupações e/ou critérios sobre rigor, embora nem sempre detalhados. Entretanto, discussões de vieses ou de estratégias objetivando a confiabilidade e/ou validade dos resultados não foram identificadas como características predominantes nesses documentos.
