Fernando Higueras. Orden central y expansión creativa
Authors: Cervero Sánchez Noelia
Published: December 2024

El arquitecto Fernando Higueras (1930-2008) realizó en la década de los años sesenta del siglo veinte una serie de proyectos no construidos, en los que aunaba arte, belleza y función desde el orden geométrico de la circunferencia. La continuidad en el desarrollo de sus ideas, obstinadas y evocadoras, y su gran dominio plástico, permiten realizar un recorrido a través de dibujos y maquetas que alimentan el proceso creativo, desde la generación formal a la definición espacial. Los trazos enérgicos y volumetrías esculturales, sugieren espacios universales y flexibles, de unidad formal y pretensión atemporal, capaces de responder a las necesidades del hombre y las condiciones del lugar, a partir del orden central y la expansión creativa.

Authors: Boorman David W. , Nair Priyanka H. , John Samuel B. , Zivot Joel , Potru Sudheer
Published: December 2024

Objectives: Determine if physician stigma toward patients with chronic pain or opioid use disorder or physician hesitancy prescribing opioids adversely affects patient pain care. Explore the demographics associated with stigma and hesitancy.
Design: Survey, 25 questions.
Setting: Physician faculty at medical schools (80 percent), private physician Facebook® groups (15 percent), and others (5 percent), all specialties.
Participants: N = 352 attending United States physicians.
Main outcome measure: Physician self-reported patient pain care quality.
Results: Subjectively worse patient pain care was not found to be associated with stigma but had a borderline association with hesitancy (p = 0.046). Subjectively worse pain care was associated with less knowledge and experience with opioids (odds ratio [OR] 4.1, 95 percent confidence interval [CI] 3.0-5.6), practicing in the Midwest region (OR 2.1, 95 percent CI 1.2-3.4), and specialty: emergency (OR 53, 95 percent CI 20-139), other internal (OR 15, 95 percent CI 6.6-34), and general medicine (OR 12, 95 percent CI 5.4-26) compared to pain medicine. Physician stigma was more likely to be high in males (OR 2.5, 95 percent CI 1.5-4.3) and medium in physicians over 55 (OR 2.5, 95 percent CI 1.5-4.5). Compared to medium stigma, those with low stigma (General Linear Model (GLM) 0.35, 95 percent CI 0.18-0.52) and high stigma (GLM 0.22, 95 percent CI 0.01-0.44) were both more hesitant to prescribe opioids. More hesitancy was associated with less knowledge and experience (GLM 0.14, 95 percent CI 0.05-0.22) and physicians under 55 (GLM 0.24, 95 percent CI 0.08-0.40).
Conclusions: Although physician stigma was not found to affect patient pain care adversely, self-reporting bias and/or questionnaire issues may account for this. Physician specialty and knowledge and experience with opioids were important factors.
Patient perceptions of opioid use disorder, drug and alcohol dependence
Authors: Thiesset Heather F. , Cunningham Ruthann , Glenn Jeffrey
Published: December 2024

Background: As the opioid epidemic continues, it behooves healthcare systems and practitioners to examine factors affecting access to care and treatment, as well as understand patient perceptions of opioid use disorder (OUD).
Methods: This was a cross-sectional sample of 124 patients with an OUD diagnosis identified using International Classification of Disease codes in electronic health records. Patients responded to a qualitative survey regarding self-perceptions and history of OUD, alcohol, and substance use.
Results: A total of 46 percent of the patients who had an OUD diagnosis in their medical record denied having OUD.
Discussion: This showed clear differences between provider and patient perceptions, as well as potential system error. To reduce stigma as well as ensure proper pain management, providers and patients need clear and transparent individualized care plans for each patient with an OUD diagnosis, as well as a frequent review of electronic records and diagnoses.
Insurance coverage and consistent pricing is needed for over-the-counter naloxone
Authors: Fagan Blake , Carpenter Delesha , Marley Grace
Published: December 2024

With the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the first over-the-counter naloxone nasal spray in 2023, it was expected that access to naloxone nasal spray would increase and that its cost would be reduced. However, the writers of this commentary found varying insurance coverage of naloxone during purchase attempts at local pharmacies. Failure to cover naloxone can reduce access and increase risk of overdose death. We suggest federal policy implementation that requires universal insurance coverage of at least one formulation of naloxone and to utilize national opioid settlement funds to pay for naloxone nasal spray to ensure equitable access to this lifesaving medication.
Therapeutic experience with tramadol for opioid dependence: A prospective observational study from India
Authors: Sharma Kirti , Dayal Prabhoo , Sarkar Siddharth , Jhanjee Sonali
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a chronic relapsing disorder with significant mortality, morbidity, and public health challenges. In India, tramadol is frequently used for the treatment and management of OUDs.
Methodology: A prospective observational study was performed to evaluate 3-month outcomes in outpatients with OUD on treatment with tramadol at a tertiary care addiction treatment facility in North India. One hundred and sixty newly registered patients fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were recruited and assessed on Maudsley Addiction Profile to evaluate changes in days and the amount of substance use and associated complications at 1-, 2-, and 3-month follow-up.
Results: This study also showed a treatment retention rate of 14 percent with an abstinence rate of 34 percent at the end of the third month. The mean number of days of illicit opioid use in retained population decreased from 29.3 (±3.5) days from baseline to 12.5 (±10.9) days at 1 month, 5.0 (±7.2) days at 2 months, and 4.3 (±6.8) days at 3 months. Repeated measures analyses showed significant change in the days of illicit opioid use on treatment with tramadol over 3 months (p = 0.01).
Conclusion: This study leads the way in showing tramadol as an important medication for use in OUDs to provide for maintenance therapy for longer durations. This has major implications in low- and middle-income countries, especially in Asia and Africa, where tramadol is more easily available.
Buprenorphine: An anesthesia-centric review
Authors: Hickey Thomas , Acampora Gregory
Published: December 2024

Buprenorphine was synthesized in the 1960s as a result of a search for a safe and effective opioid analgesic. Present formulations of buprenorphine are approved for the treatment of both acute and chronic pain. Its long duration of action, high affinity, and partial agonism at the μ-opioid receptor have established it as a mainstay treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD). Full agonist opioids (FAOs) remain a primary choice for perioperative pain in both opioid-naïve and opioid-tolerant patients despite well-known harms and new emphasis on multimodal analgesia strategies prioritizing nonopioid analgesics. We review the evidence supporting the use of buprenorphine as an effective analgesic alternative to more commonly prescribed FAOs in acute and chronic pain management. For the patient prescribed buprenorphine for OUD, prior conventionalism advised temporary discontinuation of buprenorphine preoperatively; this paradigm has shifted toward continuing buprenorphine throughout the perioperative period. Questions remain whether dose adjustments may improve patient outcomes.
Hoe transparant zijn grote gemeenten over hun duurzaamheidsprestaties?
Authors: Mol André , Budding Tjerk , Gradus Raymond
Published: December 2024

In dit artikel wordt verslag gedaan van onderzoek naar de transparantie van duurzaamheidsprestaties in de jaarverslagen 2021 van 88 Nederlandse gemeenten met meer dan 50.000 inwoners. Dit onderzoek is gedaan aan de hand van de 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s). In tegenstelling tot de private sector geldt er voor de publieke sector (nog) geen verplichting om over duurzaamheidsprestaties te rapporteren en de gemeentelijke verslaggevingsrichtlijnen (het BBV) laten lokale overheden vrij om naar eigen inzicht invulling te geven aan duurzaamheidsverantwoording. Met name het inwonertal – en daarnaast ook de politieke kleur van de gemeenteraad en het college van burgemeester en wethouders – blijkt bepalend te zijn voor verschillen in omvang en diepgang van duurzaamheidsrapportages.

Authors: Hendrik Dede
Published: December 2024

With the rapid development of technology, all institutional, government and other sectors have used technology as a medium to make it easier to process data and information. No less important in the field of education, especially universities, everyone already uses a system to manage student and other data.
In this way, the developer helps this information service by creating a website, namely the Integrated Information System (SITU). After several years, the benefits of SITU have been recognized by the community and universities can be said to be quite helpful in providing information services both from an academic perspective. After a long time SITU has been used as a medium for information and transactions, it turns out that SITU has several threats which are expected to hinder public services from accessing SITU, for example: natural disasters, building damage, human error, the actions of irresponsible people (Hackers). etc. So we think that all of this can be detrimental to universities. With the possibility of these threats or weaknesses occurring, the author tries to analyze, study and plan to minimize the possibility of this happening, by creating a Higher Education Integrated Information System (SITU) Information Security Plan.

Riohacha, el ocaso de la Fénix del Caribe
Authors: Gutiérrez Montoya Nayibe
Published: December 2024

Los cambios que supuso la caída del antiguo régimen y la ascensión de los nuevos sistemas de gobierno difícilmente produjeron modificaciones en el paisaje urbano de las ciudades, especialmente si estas no eran capitales o puertos principales. Para Riohacha su posición estratégica en el Caribe, puerta de entrada a un territorio poco explorado, conectado con el lago Maracaibo y con el río Magdalena, que servía de bisagra entre Europa y los mundos indígenas de la Guajira y de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, poco le sirvió para abrirse un espacio en el nuevo escenario mundial. Ubicada en el extremo norte de la Nueva Granada, en la provincia de la Guajira, Riohacha fue protagonista desde inicios de la colonización del continente. Sufriría los embates, más o menos violentos, de invasores de todas las naciones, incluyendo los colombianos patriotas que, llegados por tierra y desde el mar, se establecieron para tomar parte en el escenario del comercio atlántico. Producto de la búsqueda de recursos naturales, principalmente las perlas, la ciudad de Riohacha fue una ciudad clave en el proceso de poblamiento de una región que, aunque ocupada por una aguerrida población de indígenas wayúu, supo negociar y adaptarse, hasta conseguir desarrollar una exitosa estructura económica; su ruina, a finales del siglo XIX significó también el ocaso de la ciudad.
Experience of women and their partners during pregnancy after a gestational loss: protocol for a qualitative study
Authors: López Sánchez Alberto , López Romero Sofía
Published: December 2024

Background: Pregnancy loss occurs frequently in the women's reproductive lives. These situations have both immediate and long-term psychological consequences for parents; it also affects future children. Many of these women get pregnant again, frequently in the following year after the loss. During this new pregnancy, a mix of emotions takes place. Sometimes a new set of attitudes appears, making bonding with the new baby an arduous effort. Information is scarce in Spain about the impact of gestational loss on the next pregnancy.

Objective: To survey the experience of women and their partners during pregnancy after a gestational loss.

Methodology: The proposed project is a qualitative phenomenological research with an eidetic approach. For data collection, the unstructured in-depth interview, the semi-structured interview and focus groups will be used. The study population are women and their partners who, having had a gestational loss in the immediately previous pregnancy, give birth to a living child in public hospitals with obstetric care in Málaga (Spain). The sample will be obtained by convenience sampling in the postpartum hospitalization unit of the Regional University Hospital of Málaga. For data analysis, the approach of Taylor and Bodgan (discovery, coding and relativization) will be the method of choice.

Las sociedades indígenas del litoral paranaense en el siglo XVI. Algunos apuntes sobre su organización y liderazgo
Authors: Green Aldo Gastón
Published: December 2024

Uno de los aspectos menos conocidos de la vida de los indígenas que poblaban las riberas del Paraná medio e inferior, al momento de la llegada de los europeos en el siglo XVI, es el relativo a sus formas de organización sociopolítica. La información que han dejado los primeros cronistas al respecto es escasa, y en ocasiones muy vaga. Cuando las noticias son más detalladas y precisas, aluden por otro lado a situaciones localmente circunscriptas y resulta problemática su generalización para toda la extensa región del litoral. En este trabajo nos proponemos explorar, en primer término, las formas de agregación social de los indígenas, para centrarnos luego en las características y atributos que revestían sus liderazgos. Para ello ampliamos la base documental, incorporando al análisis registros inéditos, o no considerados hasta el presente.

Authors: Whitehead Jack , Huxtable Marie
Published: December 2024

Our intention here is to contribute to envisioning and realising a paradigm shift for empowering the future of research and education to bring into being a more harmonious, peaceful world where individuals and communities can learn to flourish and help others do so too. Humans have faced challenges from time immemorial. Some challenges are common, others are particular to a time and context. Challenges particular to a 21st century world include those presented by: a global pandemic; climate change; the hegemony of technical rationality and; global spread of individualistic, popularist and neoliberal ideologies. This presents us each with a personal challenge to accept responsibility to pose, create and offer valid answers to questions such as, ‘How can I, as a researcher, practitioner and citizen, contribute to the development of local, national and global policies and practices which hold a hope of bringing into being a world with values of human flourishing, and help others do so too?’ We illustrate how practitioners worldwide have been engaging for decades in Living Educational Theory Research to generate answers to such questions. In the process they have critically and creatively engaged with various knowledges and united with researchers, practitioners and citizens across multiple academic fields and disciplines to: improve their research and pedagogical practices for the benefit of all; transform education and research to enhance sustainable educational, values-led, development of individuals and communities locally and globally and; contribute valid accounts of the knowledge they generate to the growth of a global educational knowledgebase.

Authors: Poudel Amrit Bahadur
Published: December 2024

This article introduces the concept of motherly mathematics education, which establishes a meaningful and validating space common to the home and school environments, facilitating learners’ ability to transcend the constraints of traditional mathematics instruction. The author describes the basic features of motherly mathematics education based on his personal experiences and classroom practices. The study employs a multi-paradigmatic transformative education method that incorporates art-based (auto)ethnographic enquiry and philosophical analysis rooted in transformative learning theory. Co-generative enquiry is used as a research tool to explore both implicit and explicit aspects of learning mathematics. The overarching research question guiding the study is, how does the author conceptualise key features of motherly mathematics education in instructional practice? The study argues that a motherly mathematics pedagogy supports equity and the diversification of student interests and participation, interpreting the curriculum as the dance of a mosaic of diversity and portraying assessment as an ongoing developmental process.

Authors: Pagutayao Vince S. , Paglinawan Dr. James L.
Published: December 2024

Digital tools offered promising opportunities to enhance student engagement and improve learning outcomes. Understanding this relationship is essential for educational institutions as they sought to develop more engaging and effective learning environments. Despite the increasing integration of digital technologies in education, a significant gap remained in understanding their specific impact on student engagement, particularly within science education. This study specifically aimed to investigate the relationship between the availability of digital learning tools and students’ engagement in science among Grade 10 students at Dologon National High School. The study used a descriptive-correlational design to evaluate the relationship between two variables. The study utilized content-validated questionnaires to assess both variables, which were administered to 152 grade 10 students at Dologon National High School. The analysis revealed a positive moderately strong correlation coefficient which suggested that the availability of digital learning tools significantly influenced students’ engagement levels in science subjects. The findings indicated that teachers could also infer the highly significant relationship on digital learning tools availability and students’ engagement. This could serve as their basis on improving their students’ level of engagement in their Science classes.

Training Museum Translators through Linguistics Theory, Practical Experience and Civic Engagement: A Case-study
Authors: Manfredi Marina
Published: December 2024

This paper, situated at the intersection of Translation Studies, translator education and linguistics, aims to present a didactic project on interlingual museum translation conducted by the author at the University of Bologna, Italy, over the past three years. The project-based methodology draws its data from a qualitative case-study reporting on the so-called “Museum Project”, carried out with postgraduate students in a Translation Studies course within the international second cycle degree program in Language, Society and Communication of the Department of Modern languages, Literatures and Cultures. The project involved three cohorts of students, who were tasked with producing target texts (translated from Italian into English), for the Civic Archaeological Museum in Bologna, immersing them in a ‘situated learning’ context. Following an overview of the linguistics framework underlying the project – i.e., Systemic Functional Linguistics (Halliday 1994) as applied to museum texts by Ravelli (1996, 2006) – the paper focuses on the background, context and methodology. It details the setting and participants, materials and resources, and elaborates on the details of design and procedures, all underpinned by a student-centered approach. Preliminary findings from the ongoing project are provided, with a goal to show the potentials of such a project-based method in translator education. It is argued that task-based activities for the real world not only enhance students’ motivation and engagement, but also raise self-awareness of their learning processes, thanks to the acquisition of a broad range of skills and competences. The study aspires to stimulate similar projects in different museum contexts, with other language combinations, other students and new researchers.hopes to stimulate similar projects in different museum contexts, with other language combinations, other students and new researchers.

Authors: KAROUCHI Mohamed , EJJABLI Abdelkebir , SAMINE Sara , BAJJOU Omar , LACHTIOUI Youssef
Published: December 2024

This article presents a theoretical investigation into the effects of lanthanum doping on the optoelectronic properties of TiPbO3, conducted through first-principles calculations. TiPbO3, a widely used ferroelectric material, is pivotal in various optoelectronic applications due to its high dielectric constant and good optical properties. However, enhancing its properties for tailored applications is necessary to keep pace with the advancing technological frontiers. We analyze the impact of La-doping on the bandgap, absorption coefficient, density of states, and dielectric function, using comprehensive computational simulations. The results indicate significant modifications in the electronic structure and optical behavior of TiPbO3 upon doping, which could result in improved performance in optoelectronic devices. The methodology employed includes density functional theory calculations with CASTEP, utilizing an energy cutoff of 500 eV. The obtained results suggest that La-doped TiPbO3 can be optimized for a variety of optoelectronic applications, offering a pathway towards the development of advanced functional materials.
Optimizing CZTS Solar Cell Performance with Advanced Layer Configurations Using SCAPS Simulation
Authors: Belhaidouri Oussama , Moultif Rachida , Mouakkir Laila , Rochd Sanaa , Hader Ahmed , Mhada Khadija
Published: December 2024

This research analyzes the modeling of CZTS (Copper Zinc Tin Sulfide) solar cells, with a focus on advanced layer configuration and thermal management to improve operational efficiency. Using SCAPS-1D software, this investigation seeks to augment cell efficiency by fine-tuning the dimensions of absorptive layers, modifying buffer compositions, and adjusting other critical components. The study evaluates the role of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), specifically MoS₂ as the hole transport layer and ZnO as the window layer, in influencing open-circuit voltage (Voc) and short-circuit current density (Jsc). Furthermore, the research delves into temperature-related effects, demonstrating that elevated temperatures lead to a decrease in Voc and Jsc attributable to bandgap narrowing and heightened recombination processes. Through the optimization of the thicknesses of the CZTS, MoS₂, and WSe₂ layers, this study elucidates the manner in which material adjustments influence Voc, Jsc, fill factor (FF), and overall efficiency (η). In addition, effective thermal management emerges as a critical factor, given that increased temperatures elevate recombination rates, thereby adversely affecting FF and efficiency. The results of this study provide essential information for increasing the performance, durability and stability of CZTS solar cells under various environmental conditions.
Comparative Study of Two ANFIS-Based MPPT Controls under uniform and partial shading conditions
Authors: Atillah Mohamed , Stitou Hicham , Boudaoud Abdelghani , Aqil Mounaim
Published: December 2024

As the global transition to renewable energy becomes a priority, photovoltaic systems are increasingly important to ensure a sustainable and autonomous power source by exploiting the inexhaustible power of the sun. The power supplied by photovoltaic panels directly depends on climatic conditions, particularly irradiation and temperature. To maximize the energy extracted, it is essential to use a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control. Partial shading occurs when certain sections of the photovoltaic array receive reduced irradiation. This phenomenon causes an uneven distribution of solar energy across the panels, leading to changes in their electrical characteristics. However, the performance of MPPT controls can be disrupted by partial shading conditions, complicating optimal operation. This work aims to study two MPPT controls based on the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), each with a different principle, and to analyze and compare their performance in extracting the maximum power available from photovoltaic panels, under uniform and partial shading conditions. The first method combines ANFIS and a fuzzy logic controller, while the second uses ANFIS alone. The comparison will focus on speed, accuracy, and stability, as well as the components required for each method. The results show that both methods perform similarly in accuracy since they can extract almost the same power. However, the second method, which excludes the use of an additional controller, is faster in extracting power with minimal oscillation and reduces the number of components in the photovoltaic system by eliminating the fuzzy controller, thus reducing the system’s complexity.
SCOPE, NATURE AND CAUSES OF JUVENILE DELINQUENCY
Authors: Merdovic Boro , Jovanović Biljana
Published: December 2024

Juvenile delinquency is a specific social phenomenon studied by various scientific disciplines. The goal of every society is to establish order and protect general social values. Juvenile delinquency is a serious behavioral problem manifested through actions that deviate from social and legal norms, and as such, it should be taken seriously in society, given the significance, dangers, and long-term consequences it can cause. The aim of this research is to examine the etiological factors of juvenile delinquency, as well as the scope and phenomenological aspects that can be categorized under this concept. The conceptual confusion present in this field often complicates the creation of adequate and effective prevention programs. Using descriptive research methods, document analysis, comparative methods, as well as quantitative and qualitative analysis, we have distinguished various types of behavior, grading them from asocial behaviors to juvenile delinquency as behaviors that violate legal norms. The research results have shown that juvenile delinquency is a broad term encompassing various behaviors that breach social, moral, customary, and legal norms. We have also demonstrated that youth delinquency is a multicausal phenomenon requiring a multidisciplinary approach for clarification. The conclusion is that juvenile delinquency is a complex phenomenon that demands an integrated and multidisciplinary approach in prevention. Investment in educational programs, family support, and health education, as well as the creation of a positive social environment, can significantly reduce the risk of delinquent behavior and mitigate its consequences. The contribution of this work is to assist professionals from different fields in the early detection of delinquent behavior in youth and the profiling of juvenile offenders, as the most dangerous form of delinquency.

Authors: Mandalling Pasangka' Calveny
Published: December 2024

Abstrak, Penelitian ini berfokus pada tradisi ma’ulelean, tradisi lisan masyarakat Mengkendek, sebuah sub-suku Toraja di Sulawesi Selatan, Indonesia. Ma’ulelean adalah salah satu cara masyarakat untuk mentransmisikan nilai-nilai moral, etika, dan kosmologi kepada generasi berikutnya, sekaligus memperkuat identitas budaya Mengkendek di tengah tantangan modernisasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami definisi, fungsi, dan nilai-nilai yang terkandung dalam tradisi ma’ulelean, serta peranannya dalam mempertahankan ikatan sosial. Metodologi yang digunakan adalah pendekatan literatur kualitatif melalui analisis pustaka, wawancara, dan dokumen terkait, dengan fokus pada wilayah Mengkendek. Tinjauan pustaka menunjukkan bahwa ma’ulelean memuat ajaran moral yang mengarahkan masyarakat untuk hidup harmonis dengan alam dan leluhur. Namun, di tengah integrasi ajaran gereja, tantangan muncul ketika nilai-nilai tradisional dalam tradisi ma’ulelean dipandang kurang selaras dengan nilai-nilai Kekristenan. Beberapa anggota gereja melihat tradisi ma’ulelean sebagai bagian dari kepercayaan animisme yang bertentangan dengan monoteisme. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa meski terdapat ketegangan, dialog budaya yang konstruktif berpotensi mendukung pelestarian tradisi lisan ini tanpa mengabaikan ajaran agama.

Esse artigo buscou realizar uma análise da pena prevista para o crime de maus-tratos contra animais domésticos, introduzida pela Lei nº 14.064/2020, conhecida como Lei Sansão, sob os enfoques do princípio da proporcionalidade e da constitucionalidade. A pesquisa estabelece uma comparação entre as sanções aplicadas a esse crime e aquelas previstas para os delitos de lesão corporal e maus-tratos contra seres humanos. Com base em uma abordagem qualitativa e método bibliográfico, o estudo investiga os fundamentos jurídicos e sociais da Lei Sansão, que alterou a Lei nº 9.605/1998, ampliando as penalidades para maus-tratos a cães e gatos, além de multa e proibição de guarda. Apesar de críticas na doutrina que apontam possível inconstitucionalidade e desproporcionalidade das penas, o trabalho conclui que a majoração prevista pela nova lei é compatível com o ordenamento jurídico. Enquanto as sanções para lesão corporal e maus-tratos a humanos carecem de revisão e atualização para refletir os avanços sociais e jurídicos, as penalidades para crimes contra animais domésticos, embora severas, encontram justificativa na crescente valorização dos direitos dos animais e na necessidade de garantir sua proteção efetiva. O estudo reforça a importância da Lei Sansão como marco na defesa dos direitos dos animais.

Purpose: This investigation was conducted to elucidate the effects of eugenol on bladder contractility through experimental and in silico approaches.Methods: To assess the impact of eugenol on muscular contractility, longitudinal strips of bladder tissue, measuring 2 mm by 6 mm, were mounted in perfusion chambers connected to an isometric force transducer. Furthermore, molecular docking studies were conducted to explore the potential of eugenol to target the M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R) and voltage-operated calcium channels (VOCCs) in muscle cells, utilizing in silico techniques.Results: Eugenol exhibited a concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on both the phasic and tonic components of the contraction induced by 60mM K+ and carbachol, completely suppressing this contraction at a concentration of 3mM. Additionally, eugenol inhibited the concentration-contraction curve elicited by Ba2+.Conclusions: The in vitro and in silico results suggest that the mechanism of eugenol likely involves blockade of VOCCs and/or M3R, implicating eugenol as a promising molecule for the treatment of overactive bladder.
