Published: April 2024

The theme of "precariousness of work" has been arousing the interest of researchers worldwide since the second half of the twentieth century, expanding the debate on this field of study every day, and providing, since then, the generation of a new morphology in the world of work. In family farming, the advent of precariousness has considerably increased the difficulties of rural workers, and consequently, generating increasing social inequalities. This study aimed to analyze published articles on "the precariousness of work in family farming in Brazil" with a time frame of 20 years (2000 to 2020). The method adopted included typical stages of a systematic mapping of literature. As a result of the execution of these steps, a total of 25 articles were analyzed, which allowed us to obtain important elements for a more qualified analysis of this field of study. The findings indicate that the precariousness of work reveals itself as a field of study that potentiates a rupture in the morphology of work, transforming labor relations for rural workers.

Published: April 2024

Faced with the great problem of petroleum fuels, it is essential to invest in new clean energy sources. This scenario promotes the search for new raw materials and sustainable routes that can be used alternatively, such as the so-called biomass, materials rich in plant or animal organic matter. In this context, the biomass obtained from sugarcane stands out. It has been used in various ways, from a natural input to obtain sugar and molasses production to an energy source to obtain ethanol, a renewable fuel. Thus, in view of the great potential of sugarcane, the present work consists of a conceptual literature review, addressing the main challenges in its production in Brazil, and exploring Agriculture 4.0. The main results of the study demonstrate that the adoption of Agriculture 4.0 and, consequently, the mechanization of sugarcane harvesting are not only urgent needs, but must also be carefully implemented to bring more benefits to the companies involved in its production.

Published: April 2024

This paper addresses disparities in reperfusion therapy, particularly primary percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), for elderly patients experiencing acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Despite proven benefits, our center’s data reveals a stark contrast in PCI rates between younger and older patients, leading to significantly higher mortality among the elderly. Rooted in concerns about comorbidities, the reluctance to administer PCI prompts ethical questions and necessitates a critical examination of age-based clinical decision-making. The paper advocates for optimized AMI management protocols, emphasizing an individualized approach and evidence-based guidelines. Recognizing challenges in accurate AMI diagnosis in the elderly, educational initiatives target healthcare professionals and the population, disseminating information about symptoms and treatment benefits. To combat age-related stereotypes, digital tools like virtual consultations and telemedicine enhance accessibility to information. The paper proposes policy initiatives prioritizing clinical condition over age in treatment decisions, ensuring equitable care. In conclusion, urgent action is required to bridge the gap in reperfusion therapy for elderly AMI patients. By fostering inclusivity, implementing education, and advocating policy changes, we aim to ensure every patient, irrespective of age, receives timely and appropriate life-saving interventions.

It is a well-known fact that white teeth, harmonically located in the dental rows, with no defects, wear signs and pathology in the periodontium, are a sign of youthfulness and some kind of a mirror of overall body health. Actually, the dentist can be the first one to detect the first manifestations of any somatic diseases or deficiencies during examination of the patient. Modern digital technologies can offer high quality and aesthetics of the dental procedures, that also benefits in the time of dental sessions, which is less stressful for the patient, the dentist and the laboratory. This study presents a clinical case of complex functional and aesthetical dental rehabilitation of a 34-year-old patient.

The main complaint of the patient was a change of the face image, tooth wear and unsatisfactory appearance of the teeth, as well as discomfort during the jaw movements and occlusion. Since the patient had clear time limits, namely 3 months, rehabilitation, was carried out according to a fast protocol. It included increase of the vertical dimension, using botulinum therapy of the masticatory muscles, temporary prosthetic crowns and final full zirconia crowns. Also, splint therapy for the treatment of temporomandibular disorder was included to the protocol, as this problem hasn`t been treated in time. During the rehabilitation process, cone-beam computed tomography of the jaws and joints, an intraoral scanner, and the most modern digital workflow for prosthetics were performed.

As a result of the rehabilitation, the lost chewing function and aesthetics of the teeth were restored. The tone of the masticatory muscles and the range of the jaw movements were harmoniously corrected, the cheek pits, the upper and lower lips increased in volume, therefore the shape and size of the lower part of the face increased and the patient’s smile became snow-white. The patient’s general condition and mood improved, he gained a new younger look.

All cellular processes in a living cell are controlled by its genetic material. DNA in majority of the domains acts as a regulatory molecule by controlling various vital functions. The genetic makeup of DNA or RNA (in viruses) is unique in all the domains. Their uniqueness is determined by the presence of various types of repetitive patterns of bases. These includes inverted repeats, tandem repeats, VNTR’s, palindromes etc. Among many repetitive pattern types, Mirror repeats (MR) found to be dispersed throughout the genes or genomes. These sequences are associated with various functional features like their involvement in H-DNA formation, in replication & transcription, nervous system related diseases development etc. The major focus of this investigation is to identify MR sequences from some selected genes of Candida albicans using a bioinformatics based pipeline. The approach refers to as FPCB which utilized some manual steps to extract out MR sequence from any targeted gene or genome. The current study find out that the identified Mirror repeats found to be dispersed throughout the selected genes along with variable length. Among them the maximum & minimum MR sequences were reported in the gene FAS2 (108) & HIS1 (15) respectively. The present study will be helpful to provide a new insight for molecular as well as computational based studies of Candida albicans as well as other related fungal groups.

Bushranger Re-Enactments: Legend And Landscape
Authors: Janys Hayes Dr
Published: April 2024

The re-enactment of events from Australia’s history as popular entertainment has dropped away in the twenty-first century. Whilst Old Sydney Town attracted crowds from 1973 through to 2003 with its daily parades of British red coats who marched down to an artificially constructed ‘Old Sydney Cove’, Australians today often have a more conflicted view of Australia’s colonial history. If national identity is maintained through acts of ‘remembering’, as suggested by Ian McBride (2001), the past can be a contested issue that impacts on what is accepted as popular representation. Yet the persistence of bushranger escapade re-enactments, though set in colonial times, suggests that issues beyond Australian national identity are at work in maintaining the popularity of such events. Bushrangers in Australia have fuelled imaginative representations in theatre and then later cinema since the early 1800s, with Andrew James Couzens (2019) stating that the Australian “bushranger legend … responds to the historic and mythic characteristics of outlawry” with “the outlaw as heroes”. This paper investigates three specific bushranger re-enactments. In Braidwood, south-eastern New South Wales, from 1865-1867 the Clark Gang, Tom and John Clark terrorized citizens and were known as ‘the bloodiest of bushrangers’. In 2017, the 150-year anniversary re-enactment of the Clark Gangs’ shooting up of the small country town of Braidwood attracted crowds keen to witness, as well as take part in the drama. The second re-enactment occurs regularly through performances by the Gympie Historical Re-enactment Society. Opting to entertain tourists, the group have staged a ‘Bushranger Show’ at numerous sites throughout inland regional Queensland. The third re-enactment occurred annually, until Covid struck, at Canowindra in northern New South Wales. In 1863 the notorious bushrangers, Ben Hall and Johnny Gilbert locked a group of villagers in the Canowindra pub, the re-enactment takes place at the site of these events, the now named Royal Hotel in the main street of Canowindra. These re-enactments are investigated through multiple lenses of performance, place, and politics. The site-specific nature of these performances positions them as specifically different than performances depicting Australian bushrangers in the cinema or theatre.

Capecitabine-induced hand foot syndrome: a brief look at possible pathways that may be associated with inflammation
Authors: Şavlı Evren
Published: April 2024

Hand foot syndrome is a toxic reaction related to certain chemotherapy agents. Capecitabine is a prodrug used in the treatment of many cancers, such as gastrointestinal, biliary tract and breast cancers. It is associated with hand and foot syndrome (HFS), which preferentially affects palms and soles. There is still no consensus on effective international standard therapeutic strategies for the treatment and prevention of HFS because the underlying physiological and pharmacological mechanisms leading to the development of HFS have not been adequately explained. HFS is rarely life-threatening, but it may deteriorate the patient’s quality of life. Quitting or a reduction in the dose of the causative drug mostly provide the amelioration of the symptoms. The aim of this review is to briefly evaluate the possible inflammatory mechanisms that may be associated with capecitabine- induced HFS.

The traditional techniques of English language teaching (ELT) have been replaced by more modern strategies that focus on a language's relevance and actuality. The English for Specific Purpose (ESP) is the result of this search and the need for cutting-edge trends. The goal of ESP is to provide topic understanding while also preparing students to function well in a certain scenario. The purpose of this study is to look into the difficulties and barriers that exist in University of Sindh, Jamshoro, when teaching English for Science. This research provides an analysis of ESP's history as well as effective teaching strategies for ESP courses. Data from 20 English language teachers who have been teaching English have been gathered using a quantitative research methodology. This study looks into the obstacles impacting teachers' performance in public institutions that use e-learning with the goal of making recommendations that are in line with sustainable development. Among the suggestions include making investments in technological infrastructure, working with developers and legislators, and giving technology integration varying degrees of priority based on global needs. These recommendations seek to advance high-quality, inclusive education by utilizing technology to achieve better results. Universities can help ensure that education is accessible to all and empower students in the digital era by removing these obstacles. Collaborative efforts and strategic investments are essential to promoting lifelong learning and educational justice.
