We presented a generalised AHP technique to accommodate the proposed method of the extended AHP proposed by Suttipong et al. (2022) to prioritise and position the OTOP product for the elderly consumer market. This research presented the generalised formula for developing the extended methodology proposed by Suttipong et al. (2022) that can consider the different information of a selected group of information called latent factors. We generalise and use the matrix form and account for the consumer preferences collected from a different group of elderly consumers classified by the latent factor. This paper presented the generalised form of the extended AHP in which the stratum weights were aggregated and computed at the overall preferences of the OTOP product group. The accounting of the stratum can be used to improve planning and analyse consumer preferences. This generalised form helps the project planner apply the AHP extending across different sectors attributed to different latent factors such as consumer gender, age group, health condition and occupations.

Bangladesh Government has emphasized renewable energy generation and fixed a target to generate at least 150 MW of electricity from solar irrigation pumps (SIPs) by 2020; however, the generation was only about 46.98 MW. This study compared the life cycle costs (LCCs) between small solar, diesel and grid-connected irrigation pumps. The data on solar irrigation pump (SIP), diesel irrigation pump (DIP) and grid-connected irrigation pump (GIP) were collected from Birganj and Badarganj Upazilas of northern Bangladesh. The capital, maintenance, replacement and operational costs were calculated for the pumps. The outcome of annualized life cycle costs (ALCC) reveals that the average cost of the SIP (Tk.36848) is lower than DIP (Tk.105378) but marginally higher than GIP (Tk.34896). The GIP’s ALCC is the lowest, mainly for the subsidy on electric tariffs for irrigation. Therefore, at first, DIPs should be replaced by SIPs. GIPs will be replaced in the future as the price of electricity appears to be increasing. However, a small SIP’s operational cost is almost zero as it runs on solar radiation. In addition, the cost of solar irrigation will continue to fall since the price of PV panels has decreased by 12 times from 2010 to 2020.
Effects of cigarette smoking on the response of hypertensive patients to beta-adrenergic antagonists: a narrative review
Authors: Kasim Hala F.
Published: November 2022

Cigarette smoking is one of the hypertension risk factors which can adversely affect the quality of life. This review aimed to provide a brief overview of the link between smoking and hypertension. At the same time, raising questions about how smoking interacts with beta-adrenergic antagonists that are used as antihypertensive drugs. By searching for relevant studies through multiple search engines, there is inconsistent evidence about the effect of smoking on high blood pressure. Mainly attributed to the availability of numerous confounding factors. However, cigarette smoking cannot be ignored because smoking exerts dual effects on hypertension as a disease and the treatment with antihypertensive drugs, particularly beta-adrenergic antagonists. The potential drug interaction can occur through pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics mechanisms resulting in influencing the efficacy of these drugs. It is necessary to have dosage modifications according to the patient's smoking status, whether in hospitals or outpatient clinics.

Published: November 2022

Abstract

Under the influence of global competition, innovative products and services of certain enterprises have eliminated many of the conventional industries in a very short time. To cope with the stiff global competition, enterprises must keep on innovating products and services to stay ahead of the competitors. However, the consecutive innovations must rely on knowledge creation, especially, high-technology products. Thus, knowledge creation is a vital activity for an enterprise to thrive in the competition, and it can be achieved via teamwork and collective learning. However, the way the enterprise selects the perfect team for knowledge creation is the key to success. This study proposes a mathematical model for enterprises to select the best team by evaluating the team’s performance of knowledge creation. Three variables are used in the models, i.e. knowledge complexity, knowledge correlation, and knowledge level. Via the model, the time needed and the amount of knowledge gained for each member after the knowledge creation can be obtained, and the processes continue until the creation of the target knowledge is achieved. The results of the cases show that the proposed model can help enterprises select the best possible candidates to form a team for knowledge creation.

Published: November 2022

Agricultural activities produce changes in the margins of the stream banks, causing disturbances in water quality, and in the assemblage of aquatic insect communities. The objective of this research is to evaluate the changes in the structure and composition of the aquatic macroinvertebrate community, and physicochemical variables in relation to the land use of the Guapara river, Cotopaxi province, Ecuador. Samplings were conducted during the rainy season (December to February 2018-2019) in three streams with different riparian cover: agricultural, native forest, and forest plantations, where samples of aquatic insects and physicochemical parameters were collected in situ. A total of 461 aquatic insects corresponding to 7 orders and 25 families were collected. In general, the highest abundance in order and family was presented by Ephemeroptera with 34 %, and Leptophlebiidae with 21 % respectively. According to the Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera Trichoptera (EPT) index, the highest ecological condition was found in streams with native forest cover, and forest plantations respectively, and decreased in the stream with agricultural cover; while BMWP-Cr indicated water contamination in the three streams. Hydrobiosidae (Trichoptera) were associated with high turbidity values; while Gerridae (Hemiptera) were associated with high dissolved oxygen concentrations; in addition, Ptilodactylidae (Coleoptera) preferred the Q1-CA, and Q3-CF conditions, while Leptophlebiidae (Ephemeroptera) were associated with the stream of native forest. A negative influence of agricultural activity on the physicochemical parameters of the water and on the structure of the aquatic insect community assemblage was evidenced.

Measuring Microplastic Transport In Lakes: A Methodological Approach
Authors: Chen Tian , Zhou Jun , Wan Maznah Wan Omar
Published: November 2022

Materials called microplastics (MiPs) exist for a very long time in nature without decomposing. As a result, they are crucial to environmental degradation. Since MiPs may break down into little particles because of the oxidation and degradation of the polymer structures while exposed to UV rays like sunshine, they could be carried over long ranges by rain and winds. Furthermore, MiPs negatively impact human health through the food chain. The investigation was conducted in Dianchilake in Yunnan, China. Raman-Microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM) instruments were used to examine lake data. MiP elements that are substantially smaller than those that have previously been reported were found in a large number of samples that were evaluated with a Raman-Microscope. Also, the Analysis of variance (ANOVA) model is used in this research for statistical analysis. We must reduce the number of microplastics in lakes and rivers, particularly in drinking water, by researching the optimal transport routes of these tiny pieces of plastic. This research will serve as a valuable foundation for future studies on the pathways of microplastic migration in other lakes and rivers.

Published: November 2022

Chest diseases & conditions such as Atelectasis, Cardiomegaly, Lung consolidation, Hernia, and Fibrosis becoming increasingly prevalent in the Asia-Pacific region. The Asia-Pacific Burden of Respiratory Diseases study examined the disease and economic burden of lung diseases across the Asia-Pacific and more specifically India. The objective is to use a deep learning model to diagnose pathologies from Chest X-Rays. ML approaches on CT and Xray images aided incorrectly in identifying lung diseases. Respiratory diseases range from mild and self-limiting, such as the common cold, influenza, and pharyngitis to life-threatening diseases such as bacterial pneumonia, pleural thickening, hernia, and severe acute respiratory syndromes, such as COVID-19. Authorities & Doctors will be able to deal with the effects more efficiently if such illnesses can be detected speedily and accurately with little human intervention in the future. In addition, various additional elements, such as environmental influences and commonalities among the most afflicted places, should be considered to slow the spread of lung diseases and precautions should be taken. Chest X-ray exam is one of the most frequent and cost-effective medical imaging examination. However clinical diagnosis of chest X-ray can be challenging, and sometimes believed to be harder than diagnosis via chest CT imaging. Even some promising work have been reported in the past, and especially in recent deep learning work on Tuberculosis (TB) classification. To achieve clinically relevant computer-aided detection and diagnosis (CAD) in real world medical sites on all data settings of chest X-rays is still very difficult, if not impossible when only several thousands of images are employed for study. This is evident from [2] where the performance deep neural networks for thorax disease recognition is severely limited by the availability of only 4143 frontal view images [3].

The world is aware of the current scenario the population is increasing day by day hence number of vehicles are also increasing. Thus, everyone is facing the problem of parking, as there are less options available for legitimate parking. This problem leads to congestion, accidents, lack of space availability etc. Annual survey which is carried out has figured out that there is consistent growth in the ratio of traffic jam and accidents. Illegal parking plays a vital role in increasing the chances of traffic jams for hours. Due to increase in the number of vehicles, Moreover it is much more time consuming as well. In this world of fast growing technologies, we should be able to save our time for the thing which is essential rather than searching space to park our vehicle. A car user must be able to book car before starting the journey and heading to the destination. The main objective online parking booking system developing such applications is to overcome such problems. An application will be developed according to the user point of view and could be able to book their parking space.
Linfadenectomía inguinal endoscópica en cáncer de pene: resultados oncológicos, funcionales y morbilidad a largo plazo
Authors: Astigueta-Pérez Juan , Medina-Holguín José Leonardo , Flores Gustavo , Abad-Licham Milagros
Published: November 2022

Objetivo: Presentar nuestra experiencia usando linfadenectomía inguinal endoscópica (LIE) en el manejo del cáncer de pene con factores de riesgo para metástasis y ganglios inguinales clínicamente negativos (cN0); evaluar los resultados obtenidos a largo plazo y con los descritos en la revisión de la literatura plantear “objetivos ideales” para esta técnica mínimamente invasiva.
Metodología: Entre el 2012 y 2016, pacientes con diagnóstico de cáncer de pene que cumplieron los criterios de patología mayor a pT1G2 y ganglios inguinales cN0, fueron sometido a LIE. Registramos datos prequirúrgicos, perioperatorios, anatomo-patológicos y de seguimiento. Analizamos resultados y discutimos la evidencia descrita en la revisión de la literatura.
Resultados: En 15 pacientes con una media de 59 años, se realizaron 23 LIE (08 bilaterales y 07 unilaterales). El tiempo operatorio promedio fue 126 minutos; todos los casos con sangrado menor a 50 cc. La media de ganglios disecados por región inguinal fue 10.4; en 3 pacientes se encontró 1 ganglio metastásico. No se presentaron complicaciones Clavien-Dindo III o IV. Durante el periodo de seguimiento promedio de 89 meses (rango 72-120), ningún paciente presentó recurrencia o progresión de enfermedad.
Conclusiones: La evaluación a largo plazo en este grupo de pacientes ha mostrado ser una alternativa efectiva, segura y reproducible con resultados óptimos en control oncológico, pronta recuperación funcional y mínimas complicaciones intra y postoperatorias. Las diversas publicaciones coinciden en afirmar que tiene ventajas en comparación a la convencional, cumpliendo estos tres “objetivos ideales” que calificamos como trifecta, similar al concepto usado en otras cirugías uroncológicas.
Cantos “Idolátricos” en la Nueva España: cuestiones de epistemología y traducción. El caso de los Cantares Mexicanos
Authors: Lelis Sara , Máynez Pilar
Published: November 2022

Este artículo reflexiona sobre el concepto de “idolatría”, categoría epistemológica con la cual los misioneros españoles en la Nueva España interpretaron los cantos en lengua mexicana que formaban parte de la tradición oral en Mesoamérica. Dicha interpretación se ubica en el ámbito de la traducción cultural, resultado de la estructuración de la cultura originaria a partir de modalidades de conocimiento asociadas al dominio. Se destaca, en este campo, el proyecto evangelizador de fray Bernardino de Sahagún, probable supervisor y suscritor de los Cantares mexicanos, manuscrito compuesto de cantos en el llamado náhuatl clásico cuyo texto conserva la cultura predominante y las interpolaciones propias de su interacción con el Occidente. Esas ocurrieron en castellano, pero igualmente en náhuatl clásico, por lo que reflejan la compleja labor epistémica y traductológica que implicó la creación de neologismos para introducir nociones cristianas en la cultura nahua.
Translations of Ukrainian diaspora in Brazil: nation-building, ideological context and activism
Authors: Rudnytska Nataliia
Published: November 2022

The article pioneers a survey of literary translations by representatives of the Ukrainian diaspora in Brazil since WWII. The translation activity is studied within the broad historical, political, and ideological context; the research combines a socio-historical perspective with an empirical study of the translation flows and agents. Due to mass political emigration of Ukrainians in the 20th century, translation was used by emigrants to preserve and develop the Ukrainian language, literature and culture that did not have normal conditions for existence in the USSR, and to give voice to the Ukrainian writers who could not have their works published in their country. The role of literary translation in Ukrainian nation-building grew due to translators’ activism and collaboration of the diaspora in different countries as well as with translators in the Ukrainian SSR. A unique role in presenting the Ukrainian literary polysystem in its entirety to the world community belongs to the Ukrainian-born citizen of Brazil Vira Selianska.
A Job for Masaniello
Authors: D'Alessio Silvana
Published: November 2022

The outbreak of revolt: in the night between June 6 and June 7, the
seat of the fruit gabella is burned down. The eletto, Andrea Naclerio
kindles it to prompt the viceroy to abolish the tax on fruit. To carry
out his plan, he involves Giuseppe Palumbo and perhaps it is Palumbo
who then brings in Masaniello, the captain of a festival company of
young men. The viceroy does abolish the gabella, but uncertainty
about its fate remains. On 7 July, peasants, protesting that they will
not pay it further, clash with sbirri [police], drawing in Masaniello
and his band of youths, and violence spreads.
The Oath of the Duke of Arcos
Authors: D'Alessio Silvana
Published: November 2022

The duke’s concessions seem to be taking hold. At the market, work
begins for the stone monument to the agreement, the ‘epitaph’, under
commission to Cosimo Fanzago. Masaniello continues to issue orders
and do justice. One of his sentences concerns a woman whose father has
been killed: the killer’s brother wishes to wed her, but she resists. The
Capopopolo protects her. Not all of Masaniello’s sentences are just, as even
his supporter, Giuseppe Donzelli, concedes. At the cathedral, the crowd
shouts, ‘Viva la Spagna.’ Masaniello goes to ask their forgiveness, sheds
his fine turquoise suit and invites the people to repeat ‘You are nothing!’.
A Voice During the Revolt
Authors: D'Alessio Silvana
Published: November 2022

This chapter reviews the seventeenth-century fortunes of Masaniello.
He is praised in encomiastic poetry and evoked in political writings
aiming to incite the popular faction to combat the Spaniards. Masaniello
is transformed into an anti-Spanish patriot, who counsels from
beyond the grave. As the revolt continues, some men of the people are
encouraged to fight to avenge his death. The Duke of Guise, French
interloper who hopes in vain to rule, although he puts to death the
butcher who killed Peppe Carafa, nevertheless helps Masaniello’s
widow; he tries at once to court the nobles and the plebs.
Part of Naples
Authors: D'Alessio Silvana
Published: November 2022

After Italian Unification, the affair of Masaniello is studied and retold
by Bartolommeo Capasso, and after him comes the massive historical
work of Michelangelo Schipa, devoted to the whole revolt. With the
Risorgimento now complete, Masaniello loses his recent aura of
sacrality, as model to the nation. He becomes instead a Neapolitan
theme, an obligatory subject for whoever hopes to specialize in the
culture of the city. The works of Viviani, De Filippo, and Compagnone
focus on the people of Naples. Compagnone links Masaniello to the
comedy figure Pulcinella, slow to claim his rights, fogged in thought.
But a different idea of Masaniello, brave and loyal, surfaces in the
play by Pugliese and Porta (1974).
Remembering the Lady of Mercia
Authors: Thompson Smith Scott
Published: November 2022

Æthelflæd, known to contemporaries as Lady of the Mercians, was a
significant political power in early medieval England. She worked closely
with her brother, King Edward the Elder, to secure and expand territorial
authority, most prominently through the construction and maintenance of
fortified boroughs. In later historical writing, however, Æthelflæd has been
figured as both an anomaly and casualty of history, one unjustly excluded
from official records. Since the early twelfth century, writers have issued
charged pleas to remember Æthelflæd, recirculating key primary and
secondary sources, and commenting and elaborating upon those materials.
Within this ongoing tradition of protest and commemoration, Æthelflæd
has long provided a flexible focal point for challenging assumptions and
categories of gender.
The Ornament of Virginity
Authors: Thornbury Emily V.
Published: November 2022

Though the female addressees of Aldhelm’s late seventh-century Opus de
uirginitate are known to us only by name, the contents of this sprawling
twin work of prose and verse suggest that he composed it with an awareness
of these women’s prior reading and knowledge. Aldhelm’s startling
characterization of virginity as an ornament acquired through labor thus
likely reflects a shared cultural conception of ornament as something not
frivolous or dispensable, but constitutive of the value of an artwork. Such
a view of ornament may in turn explain a major divergence between the
prose De uirginitate and its somewhat later verse companion, in which
a psychomachia with Virginity as martial heroine has been substituted
for a polemic against women’s elaborate attire.
Dressed as King, Lover and Beloved:
Khusrau and Shirin
Authors: Hedayat Munroe Nazanin
Published: November 2022

The romances in the Khamsa of Nizami Ganjavi are introduced in detail, focusing
on Khusrau and Shirin. A narrative summary illustrates the relationship between
the Sasanian king (r. 591-628) and the Armenian princess as they evolve from
love-struck youths entangled in love triangles to the rulers of the Iranian empire.
Silks depicting their initial meeting, as Khusrau watches a partially nude Shirin
bathing in a stream, are studied in four different textile designs, one by Ghiyath
al-Din and three by anonymous naqshbandan (‘textile designers’), and compared
to paintings of the same period. The relationship between the gaze, the body and
garments as a mode of communicating the inner self of the wearer is discussed
as an expression of divine love and human desire.
The Divine Cloak of Majesty: Material
Culture in Sufi Practice
Authors: Hedayat Munroe Nazanin
Published: November 2022

Khamsa lovers are discussed as metaphors for the Sufi concept of earthly love as a
mirror of divine love, bringing into question whether these silks would be worn by
devout worshipers as a khirqa (‘Sufi cloak’). The relationship between material culture
and spirituality is discussed in both mainstream Islam and Sufi mystic practice. Sufi
etiquette books called futuwwat nama are discussed as the guidelines for garments,
fibre types and patterns permissible for Sufi aspirants. In heterodox Islam the history
of silk, gold and figural garments are studied through hadith (canonical saying about
the Prophet’s life) and Qur’anic verse. Early modern kingship in Safavid Iran and
Mughal India is introduced as extensions of Sufi practice and beliefs, expressed
through symbolic dress and garments gifted as khil‘at (‘robes of honour’).
Safavid Figural Silks in Diplomacy: Rare
Textiles of Novel Design
Authors: Hedayat Munroe Nazanin
Published: November 2022

Khamsa silks are considered within the larger genre of Safavid figural textiles.
These finely woven silks were often brocaded with metal-wrapped threads in gold
or silver. Depicting non-narrative scenes of figures reading poetry in gardens or
hunting, these function as representations of kingship in Persianate culture as
warrior and spiritual leader. Silks are a valuable commodity for Iran, gifted across
Eurasia as exemplary samples to encourage trade of raw fibre, whose profits
benefit the state. Figural silks in early modern diplomatic relations are analyzed
through surviving garments and depictions, including ambassadorial khil‘at
worn by Robert Sherley and Naqd ‘Ali Beg. Textiles gifted between Safavid Iran
and Mughal India, and the display of figural silks as a representation of identity,
are examined in detail.
The Matter of Violence in Baroque Painting
Authors: Cornea Bogdan
Published: November 2022

Baroque depictions of violence are often dismissed as ‘over the top’ and ‘excessive’. Their material richness and exciting visual complexity, together with the visceral engagement they demand from beholders, are usually explained in literature as reflecting the presumed violence of early modern society. This book explores the intersection between materiality, excess, and violence in seventeenth-century paintings through a close analysis of some of the most iconic works of the period. Baroque paintings expose or reference their materiality by insisting on various physical changes wrought through violence. This study approaches violence as the work of materiality, which has the potential to analogously stage pictorial surfaces as corporeal surfaces, where paint becomes flayed flesh, canvas threads ruptured skin, and red paint spilt blood.
Movement and Mobility in the Early
Modern World: An Introduction
Authors: Nelles Paul , Salzberg Rosa
Published: November 2022

The Introduction offers an orientation to mobility themes emerging from
the social sciences and considers how they can generate new understandings
of the early modern world. It calls for integrating the study of different
forms of mobility – embodied, local, global – and highlights the need to
pay attention to the ‘quotidian mechanics’ of movement at all scales. It
is structured around three themes: moving bodies; crossing borders; and
networks, distance, and circulation.
The Image of Leovigild as Arian
Monarch in the ‘Vitas Patrum
Emeritensium’:1 From Historical
Reality to Hagiographical Deformation
Authors: Acerbi Silvia , Teja Ramón
Published: November 2022

This chapter presents a reinterpretation of the confrontation between
Bishop Masona and King Leovigild narrated in the Vitas Patrum Emeritensium.
Trying to elucidate what historical truth there may be behind this
hagiographic text, this event is compared with the information we have
through other sources and more recent historiography. The image offered
by this work of a persecuting Leovigild and of Masona, as a victim of that
persecution is presented as a continuation of the martyr literature based
on the opposition of the Christian ‘martyr’ to the tyrannical emperor and
‘persecutor’. In this way, Leovigild, far from being the evil king portrayed in
the Lives, appears as a monarch whose religious policy was characterised
by tolerance.

Transatlantic Letters and Settler Identities: Jane White Writes to Ireland, 1849–1865
Authors: Carter Kathryn
Published: November 2022

This article reads one side of a transatlantic correspondence, that of Irish emigrant Jane White, who relocated to Canada in 1849, during a time of high migration from Ireland to Canada. The point of reading her one-sided correspondence is because it challenges scholars in both material and theoretical ways. Jane’s letters are a richly complicated source for such an undertaking, allowing readers to assess the impact of material circumstances and the “mechanics of colonization” as they shape and inform the epistolary platform upon which Jane White rehearses Protestant and middle-class identities. These identity affiliations—which act as connective tissue to the land of her birth, and which she reinforces in letter writing—are concretely tied to the processes of colonization and settlement, but complicated by being Irish. Despite the relative comfort of her family, Jane’s letters to Eleanor Wallace reveal a young Irish woman struggling to maintain her identity in the face of prejudice. The following examination of her letters suggests ways of situating the personal letter in settler histories by focusing on Jane White’s engagement with questions of identity, social status, and colonial relations within the epistolarium, the discursive world that is shaped by and created within the dialogic field of the letter and the material factors of its creation.
Model Letters Declining Arranged Marriages: Changing Formulas for Family Correspondence in Modern China
Authors: Cai Danni
Published: November 2022

This paper examines model letters declining arranged marriages exchanged between young people and their elders in Republican China. These new models deserve special attention for creating a subtle tension in the family hierarchy during the early twentieth century. Notwithstanding their common purpose, model letters declining arranged marriages produced by different publishers differ in format and tone. While certain model letters reinforced Confucian patriarchy and positioned the elders superior to the young, other model letters provided the standard lines of appeal that sought to ease tensions between the younger and older generations as the young consciously appropriated the emergent discourse to legitimize their dissent. The marital negotiation thus allows us to glean insights into the changing dynamics of family letters under the influence of new ideals about family and marriage in modern China.

Método: Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura realizada por meio da seleção de artigos científicos publicados em periódicos indexados nas bases de dados do SCIELO (The Scientific Electronic Library Online) e PUBMED (National libary of Medicine), tendo a busca ocorrida entre os meses de setembro e outubro de 2022, utilizando os descritores extraídos dos Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS): Funcionalidade, Mobilidade, Fisioterapia e Idosos, através do operador booleano AND, para combinar os termos de modo que eles correspondam simultaneamente ao objetivo. O levantamento bibliográfico fez referência às publicações de artigos científicos entre os anos de 2010 á 2022, que estivessem disponíveis na íntegra e na língua portuguesa e inglesa, estudos transversais, de intervenção, prospectivo de autocontrole e relato de caso. Foram excluídos resumos de apresentações, monografias, revisões, dissertações e/ou teses acadêmicas. Resultados: Podemos identificar que os idosos com idade ≥ 60 anos se tem maiores níveis de limitações funcionais e de mobilidade, pois com o passar dos anos esse paciente se tem maior predisposição a doenças crônicas, muitas vezes acarretadas de comprometimento na realização de suas atividades diárias, como higiene, mobilidade e locomoção, disfunções sensoriais e cognitivas. Conclusão: Considerando a análise dos artigos inclusos no presente trabalho, os pacientes acometidos por essas alterações apresentam distúrbios funcionais sensoriais e motores, afetando o controle do movimento, locomoção, função cognitiva, o que acarreta muitas vezes a assistência de cuidadores e independência funcional dos mesmos.

Esse artigo buscou realizar uma revisão da literatura sobre a influência da ação antimicrobiana da própolis na saúde da mulher, destacando sua utilização no tratamento da candidíase. A candidíase é uma infecção oportunista causada por Candida, um tipo de fungo, que está presente no organismo feminino sem causar danos, porém a sua disfunção pode desencadear o fator patogênico dessa levedura. É a partir disso que se houve a necessidade de buscar por novas substâncias antifúngicas através de produtos de origem natural, tomando espaço e expandindo esse mercado. A metodologia utilizada foi de revisão bibliográfica, onde foram utilizados artigos que versarão sobre a temática. Concluiu-se que o extrato de própolis é barato e acessível à população. Recebendo desse modo mais atenção quando se diz respeito a patologias vaginais, sendo uma alternativa terapêutica em casos recorrentes, fazendo com que o uso de antibióticos agressivos a microbiota feminina possam ser substituídos por métodos naturais de tratamento. Portanto, o extrato de própolis conforme mostram vários estudos possuem ação antimicrobiana eficiente e comparável à antibióticos já utilizados na rotina, mas com menor preço, acesso facilitado e de origem natural. Em vista disso esse extrato com inúmeros bioativos vem se destacando e sendo incluído em protocolos médicos, mostrando resultados satisfatórios com índices de toxicidades baixos.

O eritema nodoso (EN) caracteriza-se clinicamente pelo surgimento agudo de nódulos cutâneos eritematosos e dolorosos principalmente na região pré-tibial. Possui diversas etiologias inclusive medicamentos como os anticoncepcionais, dado o fato do estrogênio e da progesterona associarem-se a reações de hipersensibilidade tardia e formação de imunocomplexos. O diagnóstico dessa rara condição baseia-se na anamnese e exame físico minuciosos. Todavia, em casos de dúvida ou apresentações atípicas, deve-se realizar a biópsia incisional profunda com amostra completa da hipoderme para diagnóstico definitivo da paniculite septal. O presente artigo foi elaborado em formato de estudo de caso e utilizou dados qualitativos coletados a partir de eventos reais, após aprovação pelo comitê de ética em pesquisa. O objetivo deste trabalho foi contribuir com a disseminação científica dos achados, visto que a relação entre o uso de anticoncepcionais orais e o surgimento de eritema nodoso é um assunto pouco explorado nas bases de dados científicas. Utilizou-se como ponto de partida o prontuário da paciente fornecido pela médica após assinatura do consentimento por escrito da própria paciente. O presente relato aborda os aspectos clínicos do EN, o manejo da investigação etiológica e o tratamento.

Background and objective: Factors significantly associated with the occurrence of phlebitis are underlying risk for any nosocomial infection. A study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme regarding phlebitis associated with peripheral intra venous cannulation among nurses working in Selected Wards of BPKIHS,“a tertiary level medical university in Nepal”
Methods: The research design used for this study was one group pre-test and one post-test design. Fifty nurses were selected by non-probability convenient sampling technique. The data were collected in before and after educational intervention to assess the pretest and posttest knowledge about the phlebitis associated with peripheral intravenous cannulation. The data were analyzed and interpreted by descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results and Conclusion: Findings of the study shows that the highest percentage of respondents was in age group < 35 (70%). The mean score of pretest knowledge was found to be 19.80 with Standard Deviation is 3.24 and mean score of posttest knowledge was found to 24.12 with SD 2.63. The difference on knowledge of pretest and posttest was found to be significant (p= 0.001).Pretest knowledge score of nurses was less regarding phlebitis associated with peripheral intravenous cannulation. After implementation of structural teaching programme the knowledge score of Nursing Staffs was improved. So it can be concluded that educational intervention was effective.

Brachytherapy’s Clinical-Imagery Correlates and Tumor’s Reduction Outputs Among Patients with Cervical Cancer
Authors: Hafizi Enes , Shpuza Aldo , Hoxha Euglent
Published: November 2022

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical-imagery correlates of cervical cancer before and after brachytherapy, as well as the effects of tumor reduction resulting from the use of this radiation therapy.
Methods: A prospective case series study was conducted during 2009-2012 in the University Hospital Center: "Mother Teresa", Oncology Service. Sampling technique included 202 consecutive women diagnosed with cervical cancer, presented at the hospital and met the study protocol’s inclusion criteria. The instrument used for cervical cancer imaging data was Computerized Tomography, which was used at different times, after applying the respective doses of brachytherapy. The paired t-test was used to estimate the differences between two variables for the same subject, such as imaging data after applying three doses of brachytherapy.
Results: In terms of the distribution of signs and symptoms in cervical cancer patients, 27.2% of them had pain in the lower back, 33.2% referred for pain during sex, 6.4% had vaginal bleeding during sex, 24.8% referred changes to the vaginal discharge, and 30.2% had blood in urine. Only 5.8% of the patients have performed brachytherapy without combined forms of chemo-radiotherapy, since most of the patients (51%) were in stage 2 of cancer. The reductions of the mean tumor sizes in different application of brachytherapy doses such as (dose 3 vs. dose vs. dose 1 vs. before application) were 9.6%, 4.93% and 4.93%, respectively. All these reduction’s results (obtained after paired t-tests) were statistically significant, p<0.001.
Conclusions: It is important to be aware of the clinical, imaging and anatomopathological characteristics of cervical cancer that are used to diagnose and treat this disease. The application of brachytherapy with or without external beam radiation therapy leads to a gradual reduction size of about 5 to 10% after each dose, until the tumour mass might fully diminished.
