A doença arterial coronariana (DAC) é uma das principais causas de morbidade e mortalidade cardiovascular, sendo frequentemente associada a eventos isquêmicos recorrentes, como infarto agudo do miocárdio. A prevenção secundária desses eventos é essencial para melhorar os desfechos clínicos em pacientes com DAC. Este artigo de revisão tem como objetivo discutir as principais estratégias terapêuticas utilizadas na prevenção de eventos isquêmicos recorrentes, com foco em terapias antiplaquetárias, controle de fatores de risco lipídicos e novas abordagens terapêuticas, como o uso de inibidores de PCSK9. Também são analisados biomarcadores como fibrinogênios e troponina I na predição de novos eventos, além da personalização do tratamento para populações específicas, como pacientes diabéticos e idosos. A revisão ressalta a importância de uma abordagem individualizada e multidisciplinar, incluindo a reabilitação cardiovascular e programas de educação ao paciente, para garantir maior adesão ao tratamento e minimizar riscos de complicações. Conclui-se que a prevenção eficaz depende de intervenções farmacológicas adequadas, controle rigoroso dos fatores de risco e um acompanhamento contínuo e personalizado dos pacientes, especialmente aqueles pertencentes a grupos de maior risco.

A aplicação da Realidade Virtual (RV) na reabilitação psiquiátrica tem se mostrado promissora, especialmente em transtornos como TEPT, fobias, esquizofrenia, ansiedade e depressão. Este estudo teve como objetivo revisar sistematicamente a literatura para avaliar a eficácia da RV em comparação com as terapias tradicionais. A metodologia adotada seguiu as diretrizes PRISMA, selecionando 33 estudos publicados entre 2015 e 2024, que utilizaram intervenções de RV em diferentes contextos psiquiátricos. Os resultados demonstraram que a RV proporciona uma redução significativa dos sintomas, maior engajamento dos pacientes e melhorias na reabilitação cognitiva e social, superando as abordagens convencionais em muitos casos. No entanto, foram identificadas limitações, como a falta de padronização dos protocolos e desafios relacionados à acessibilidade dos equipamentos. Conclui-se que a RV é uma ferramenta inovadora e eficaz para a reabilitação psiquiátrica, mas há a necessidade de estudos futuros que busquem padronizar as intervenções e explorar a personalização das terapias para otimizar os desfechos clínicos.

Published: October 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo estudar a estruturação psíquica do simbolismo e das fantasias inconscientes infantis em relação às condições de vida em áreas com deficiências nos serviços de esgotamento sanitário, considerando a individualização dos moradores de favelas e comunidades urbanas marginalizadas. Utilizamos uma Abordagem Psicanalítica e uma metodologia de Pesquisa Bibliográfica Exploratória, baseadas nos estudos de Melanie Klein (1921/1945, 2023; 1946/1963, 2023), pioneira da Psicanálise Infantil. O caso da favela Sapê, em São José dos Campos-SP, existente há mais de 40 anos, foi analisado, destacando-se desafios como a irregularidade fundiária e a precariedade no saneamento básico, apesar de estar localizada em uma Cidade Inteligente e desenvolvida. Para ilustrar, utilizamos as Vinhetas Ficcionais, que são narrativas fictícias usadas para ilustrar a situação, com o caso de Cristiano, um menino de 6 anos, morador dessa favela. Através da análise do caso de Cristiano, concluímos que a precariedade dos serviços de saneamento básico tem consequências na estruturação do simbolismo e das fantasias inconscientes infantis, o que nos permitiu ampliar a compreensão acerca dos desafios nas áreas periféricas. Assim, enfatizamos a necessidade de políticas públicas eficazes e ações práticas para melhorar as condições de vida desses grupos vulneráveis, garantindo acesso aos serviços de esgotamento sanitário e promovendo o bem-estar psíquico infantil.
Intergroup variability of the khakas based on non-metric cranial traits data
Authors: Movsesian A.A.
Published: October 2024

Introduction. The formation of the gene pool of modern Khakas people occurred through the interaction of various groups of ancient inhabitants of the Minusinsk Basin. This article is focused on the inter-group analysis of craniological series representing different Khakassian subethnic groups.

Materials and Methods. The cranial series of the Kachins, Koibals, Sagais, and Beltirs was studied using the battery of 36 cranial non-metric characteristics. The obtained data was compared with data on other populations of Southern and Western Siberia: Shors, Tuvans, Telengits, Selkups, Khants, and Mansis. The analysis of the biological diversity of populations was carried out using Smith's mean measure of divergence (MMD) followed by multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis.

Results. The Kachins are the most distant from the other Khakas subethnic groups, forming a cluster with the Telengits and Tuvans. The Koibals and Beltirs were positioned quite close to the Shors. The Sagais occupied a separate position in the Khakas cluster, presumably due to a greater proportion of Europoid admixture compared to other Khakas groups. The pooled Khakas sample shares similar cranial non-metric characteristics with Turkic-speaking ethnic groups of Southern Siberia: Shors, Telengits, and Tuvans.

Discussion. The nature of phenetic differentiation of the Khakas sub-ethnic groups presumably reveals their complex population history. The position of the Kachins outside the Khakas cluster based on non-metric traits resulted from specificity of their phenofund, which is also supported by molecular genetic data. The similarity in the phenofund of the Khakas groups to those of the Tuvans and Telengits may result from gene flow between Khakas populations and the peoples of Southern Siberia or/and from their common episodes in their ethnogenesis. The similarity between pooled Khakassian sample and the Shors presumably suggests involvement of common genetic components in the gene pools of these peoples, which is consistent with molecular genetic data.

Conclusion. The correspondence of the obtained results with genetic data suggests the possibility of using cranial non-metric traits to identify genetic relationships between ancient populations in the absence of direct genetic information.

Published: October 2024

Patient authors can clarify the disconnect between patients and healthcare providers. This can make publications more relevant to the real world and support better shared treatment decision-making between patients and physicians. Eli Lilly Japan K.K. collaborated with a patient advocacy group (PAG) in Japan from the study planning to publications from 2021 to 2022. Our intention was to co-author publications with patient authors, but patients declined to be authors for the publications. It is vital to share the value and expectations of author participation with potential patient authors. This article outlines the challenges in involving patient authors and how to overcome these challenges based on our experiences in collaboration with the PAG for company-sponsored medical publications.
Numerical study on concentrated load capacity of chosen HC floors
Authors: Jeziorski Miłosz , Derkowski Wit
Published: October 2024

Precast prestressed hollow core floors are able to distribute concentrated loads due to the presence of cast on site joints and torsional stiffness of individual units. By considering this phenomenon in design, the directly loaded element is able to withstand loads much higher than in case of a single element analysis. The current design method provided by European Standard EN 1168 as well as different analytical methods can provide results that do not fully represent the actual performance of the floor. Due to that fact that a sparse amount of experimental data on full scale floor exists, out of which just a handful is documented well, the results of code provisions and analytical models are difficult to evaluate. Based on previous numerical analyses, validated by existing experimental data, numerical models of three hollow core floors were prepared which were used to design new experiments on full scale hollow core floors. Analysis focuses on the Ultimate Limit State of the HC floors, obtained failure loads are compared to single element results and with the results of the EN 1168 standard calculations.

Authors: Puszczalowska-Lizis Ewa , Omorczyk Jarosław , Lizis Sabina , Lenková Rút , Pieniądz Karolina
Published: October 2024

Background: Physical fitness determines resourcefulness, i.e. the ability to effectively solve various tasks faced by a person and, therefore, to cope with various situations. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships of body build and physical activity with physical fitness in high school students. Methods: The research covered 194 students (104 women and 90 men) aged 16-18, attending randomly selected high schools in the Rzeszów district. The research methods were a diagnostic survey and the Eurofit test battery. The Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson’s chi-square test, and Spearman’s rank correlation were used in the analyses. Results: Statistically significant relationships were found between the preferred forms of physical activity (p=0.041, p=0.008) and the subjective assessment of physical fitness (p=0.015) and the sex of the respondents. There were statistically significant sex-related differences in the Sit-and-Reach (p<0.001), Standing Broad Jump (p<0.001), Hand Grip (p<0.001), Sit- Ups (p<0.001), Bent Arm Hang (p< 0.001), Shuttle Run (p<0.001), and Endurance Shuttle Run (p<0.001). In both groups, there were statistically significant relationships between the subjective assessment of physical fitness and the results of physical fitness tests (p<0.05). Conclusions: Women chose dancing more frequently and considered their physical fitness to be average, while men preferred team sports and assessed their physical fitness as very good. Women are characterized by greater flexibility, and men by greater explosive strength of lower limbs, static strength, strength endurance of trunk muscles, speed and agility, and cardiorespiratory endurance. In both groups, the higher the subjective assessment of physical fitness, the better the results of individual physical fitness tests.

This study investigated the effects of rice distillers grains with solubles (rDDGS) on growth performance, production efficiency, carcass characteristics, nutrient metabolizability and serum biochemistry of dual purpose chicken (Kuroiler). Four diets were formulated with graded levels of rDDGS (0, 10, 14 and 18%). Each diet was allocated to 5 replicates with 10 birds in each at random. With the exception of 21 days, there was no difference in body weight gain, feed intake, or feed conversion ratio (FCR) among the treatment groups. The dietary levels of rDDGS had no effect on serum biochemical parameters. Dietary level of 14% rDDGS significantly increased dressing yield and thigh and drumstick percentage. The metabolizability of dry matter, crude protein, ether extract, crude fiber, nitrogen free extract and organic matter was similar among the experimental groups. The addition of rDDGS had no negative effects on jejunum histo-morphometry. In the 18% rDDGS fed group, profit per kg live weight was comparatively higher. In conclusion, rDDGS may be added to dual-purpose chicken diets safely up to an 18% inclusion level as a substitute protein source for profitable production.

Authors: Azis Abdul , Sartika Dewi , Sumiaty Raden Yeti
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this research is to determine how job satisfaction and work discipline affect the performance of employees at the district office in Tangerang. This study uses a quantitative approach with a sample of 94 respondents, selected using the Slovin sampling method. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires. The results indicate that work discipline has a positive and significant impact on employee performance partially. From the first hypothesis test, the value of t-statistics exceeds the critical value, showing that the work discipline variable partially affects employee performance. In addition, the results of the simple regression test also support the conclusion that the significance value is less than the set threshold, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis and the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis. Furthermore, the job satisfaction variable was also found to have a partial effect on employee performance, based on the second hypothesis test. The results of the simple regression test show a significant relationship, confirming that job satisfaction affects employee performance. Based on the joint hypothesis test, the value of F-statistics exceeds the critical value, indicating that both job satisfaction and work discipline variables simultaneously influence the performance of employees at the district office in Tangerang.

Published: October 2024

Transition metal-nitrogen-carbon (M/NC) demonstrates a promising effective electrocatalyst for enhancing oxygen evolution/reduction reactions (OER/ORR). However, synthesizing these catalysts is often complex, time-consuming, and involves hazardous solvents while producing a low yield. This work introduces a versatile, eco-friendly, and straightforward solvent-free method to produce M/NC (M = Co, Ni, and Fe) catalysts in ~3 h using a glucose, urea, and metal nitrate hydrate mixture. The high-yield M/NC catalysts exhibit a porous architecture and uniform distribution of metal nanoparticles within a foaming flakes-like nitrogen-doped carbon matrix. The metal nanoparticles are wrapped with protective nitrogen-doped carbon layers, producing stable active sites. Possessing these unique properties, the obtained M/NC catalysts show high-performance and stable bifunctional OER/ORR. As the best result, Co/NC presents an OER/ORR potential difference (ΔE) of 0.78 V and retains 96% and 89% of its OER and ORR performance after a 10 h stability test. In practical application, the Co/NC-based Zn-air battery depicts a high power density of 184 mW cm−2 and good rechargeability of up to 120 h, outperforming the battery with noble metal-based catalysts. This work sheds light on the versatile, eco-friendly, and scalable synthesis of M/NC catalysts while presenting a strategy to accelerate the generation of inexpensive and highly effective bifunctional OER/ORR catalysts.
Reducing Overall Active Power Loss by Placing Solar and Wind Generators in a Distribution Power System using Wild Horse Optimizer Algorithm
Authors: Minh Chau Le Thi , Duong Minh Quan
Published: October 2024

This study optimized the locations and sizes of wind-based distributed generators (WDGs) and solar photovoltaic-based distributed generators (PVDGs) to reduce the overall active power loss (OAPL) of an IEEE 85-bus distribution power system (DPS). Three meta-heuristic algorithms, including the Wild Horse Optimizer Algorithm (WHOA), the Archimedes Optimization Algorithm (AOA), and the Transient Search Optimization (TSO) algorithm, were applied and compared to each other to identify the most effective method for finding the best value of OAPL. Based on the analysis, WHOA outperformed the other methods in achieving the best value of OAPL according to different criteria. Additionally, the effectiveness of WHOA was compared with previous studies, while WHOA also proved its strength in reducing overall losses, decreasing grid power, and improving voltage profiles. Moreover, the effectiveness of WHOA was tested for a 24-hour period with varying loads and the addition of PVDGs and WDGs. The results indicated that WHOA could successfully determine the optimal positions of both PVDGs and WDGs in Case 3, Case 4.1, and Case 4.2, achieving the optimal value of OAPL in the selected DPS, decreasing grid power utilization, and improving the voltage profile. In conclusion, WHOA proved itself to be an effective optimization tool for dealing with large-scale optimization problems

Published: October 2024

Indonesia has 127 active volcanoes, which have to be monitored continuously in normal, eruption, or after-eruption conditions, to minimize the effects of disaster. Therefore, we have developed a four-wheeled mobile robot for both exploration and monitoring of volcanoes. To finish its mission on uneven terrain full of obstacles, the robot should be able to detect and avoid these obstacles. Therefore, real-time object detection was designed using the YOLOv5s deep learning algorithm, which was implemented on a Raspberry Pi3 for the front camera of the robot. Before it was tested on a real volcano, the model of the algorithm was trained to be able to detect obstacles. The dataset was trained with three variations of epochs (100, 300, and 500) in sixteen batches of YOLOv5s. The last variant yielded the best results, at 63.4% mAP_0.5 and 40.4% mAP_0.5:0.95, with almost zero loss. This model was then implemented on a Raspberry Pi3 to detect trees and rocks captured by camera on Tangkuban Parahu Volcano. Most of the trees and rocks were successfully detected, with 90.9% recall, 79.9% precision, and 91.5% accuracy. Furthermore, the detection error was low, as indicated by low FP and FN numbers.

ANTI-AGING COSMETIC PROCEDURES: BENEFITS AND RISKS
Authors: Fedorchenko Yuliya
Published: October 2024

The rising demand for aesthetic interventions reflects a broader cultural trend toward enhancing physical appearance and rejuvenation, fueled by technological advancements and increased accessibility of invasive and non-invasive cosmetic procedures. Skin aging, driven by a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors, results in visible changes such as wrinkles and reduced skin elasticity. The growing availability of cosmetic procedures, including botulinum toxin injections, dermal fillers, and surgical options like rhinoplasty and liposuction, underscores a shift in public attitudes toward cosmetic enhancement and concealing of visible signs of aging. Social media platforms play a crucial role in influencing treatment decisions, changing perceptions and practices of cosmetic procedures. However, uncontrolled expansion of these procedures is associated with risks, including psychological distress and physical complications. Technological innovations, such as ultrasound-guided injections and 3D facial modelling, are improving procedural accuracy, patient safety, and satisfaction. This review examines the driving factors behind the surge in cosmetic procedures, addresses some issues in the field, and evaluates how emerging advanced technologies are enhancing outcomes and safety.

Refractory gout and Lyme disease are distinct conditions that, when coexisting, pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly in regions endemic for Lyme disease. This case report presents a 49-year-old male with a three-year history of gout, presenting with acute arthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, unresponsive to standard urate-lowering therapy. Despite treatment with colchicine and prednisone, the patient’s symptoms persisted, and inflammatory markers remained elevated. Imaging revealed findings consistent with gouty arthritis, but due to the atypical treatment response, further testing was conducted. Serological analysis confirmed infection with Borrelia burgdorferi, establishing the diagnosis of concurrent Lyme disease. The addition of doxycycline to the treatment regimen resulted in significant clinical improvement within days. This case highlights the importance of considering Lyme disease in patients with refractory gout in areas endemic for Lyme disease. While rare cases of Lyme disease mimicking gout have been reported, this is among the first documented instances of their coexistence. Early recognition and appropriate antibiotic treatment are critical in preventing complications and ensuring optimal management of both conditions.

Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to an issue present in the studies of music and musical terminology in the Dutch mysteries of the late Middle Ages and the Early Modern period. Two terms are examined here in detail – namely, selete and pause, present in the comments of two manuscripts of the productions in Brussels of The Seven Joys of Mary, consisting of various episodes in the lives of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. The productions of The Seven Joys of Mary took place in Brussels from 1448 to 1566 and were timed to the annual procession in honor of the miraculous statue of the Virgin Mary. Analysis of the terms selete and pause is carried out with the consideration of the practice of production of the mystery theater, the peculiarities of the arrangement of the play space of the simultaneous scene, as well as the theatrical activities of the rhetoricians. A number of questions is raised in the article: whether or not there exists any connection between the selete and a particular stage setting, whether the functions of the terms selete and pause differ, how does the use of the term selete in the Brussels manuscripts correlate with the practice of production of the German Passion and Easter rites of the late Medieval period, and the term pause – with the productions of mysteries in France, what musical instruments were used, what chants and musical episodes signified the indicated terms, and also, where were the musicians placed during the performance. In the process of analysis of the manuscript text, various types of comments are revealed being of direct concern to the music of The Seven Joys of Mary. Among them there are side notes containing only selete and only pause, comments in which one of these terms is supplemented by the specification sanc of spel (singing or playing), as well as side notes indicating the musical accompaniment, but not containing the terms selete and pause. As the result of the undertaken research, a conclusion is arrived at about the polyfunctionality of the terms selete and pause in the productions of The Seven Joys of Mary and their correspondence to the traditional terms of mystery theater.

In social commerce, consumers receive emotional motivation to purchase products because they feel familiar and bonded with the promoter, often losing track of time and self-awareness in a flow state, leading to impulse buying. As Gen Z are often presents more tendency toward impulse shopping behaviors compared to other generations, this study aims to investigate the impulse buying behavior of Generation Z (Gen Z) on live-streaming social commerce platforms, focusing on the roles of Parasocial Interaction (PSI) and Social Commerce Emotional Motivation (SCEM). Using a quantitative approach, data were collected via online surveys from individuals born between 1998 and 2007 who had made at least two unplanned purchases after watching live-streamed shopping events within four weeks. Statistical regression analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS 26.0 to explore the relationships between PSI, SCEM, and impulse buying behavior (IBB). The findings reveal that both PSI and SCEM significantly influence IBB among Gen Z consumers. Strong parasocial relationships with live-stream hosts enhance trust and connection, while emotional engagement through SCEM motivates spontaneous purchases. The study highlights the synergistic effect of PSI and SCEM, suggesting that a combined approach is most effective in driving impulse buys. This study contributes to the understanding of consumer behavior in the context of emerging social commerce trends, providing actionable insights for enhancing marketing strategies targeted at Gen Z.
