District vote e proportional vote: what is the best alternative for Brazil?
Authors: Souza Carlos Augusto da Silva , Pereira Alan da Silva , De Souza Márcio Ivan Lopes Ponte , Da Silva Mariana Costa
Published: January 2024

Brazilian legislative elections are defined through the proportional voting system that seeks to preserve the diversity of political groups existing in Brazilian society. This system, however, is widely criticized for producing a political system with high party fragmentation and great instability in the relationship between the executive and legislative powers. In this sense, some analysts argue that the best alternative for Brazil would be to replace the current proportional voting system with a majority voting system, as this would reduce party fragmentation and allow for greater political stability. It is not in the context of this discussion that this article is inserted. It aims to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of majority and proportional voting systems and their inclusion in the Brazilian electoral system.

Cette étude examine l’impact économique de l’utilisation des semences améliorées sur la sécurité alimentaire des ménages ruraux au Cameroun. Des statistiques descriptives et la procédure de score d’appariement ont été utilisées sur un échantillon de 4 101 ménages issus de l’Evaluation Globale de la Sécurité Alimentaire et de la Vulnérabilité des Ménages au Cameroun de 2017. Parmi eux, 26.53% des ménages sont des utilisateurs de semences améliorées, tandis que les 73.47% restants sont des non-utilisateurs. Les résultats montrent que les utilisateurs de semences améliorées ont en moyenne un Score de Consommation Alimentaire plus élevé de 3.5 à 5.2 et des dépenses alimentaires réduites de 3.76 à 4.29 par rapport aux non-utilisateurs. Ces ménages réduisent également leurs stocks alimentaires en proportion de 21.67 à 19.6 par rapport aux non-utilisateurs. Il est alors suggéré qu’une intervention sur les ménages ruraux visant à renforcer l’utilisation des semences améliorées peut améliorer leur sécurité alimentaire
OUTCOMES OF PRIMARY UNCOMPLICATED RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT REPAIR USING SILICONE OIL TAMPONADE IN VITREORETINAL SURGERY
Authors: SIDDIQUI AA , QAMAR RR
Published: January 2024

In a prospective observational study, we aimed to determine anatomical and functional outcomes, as well as possible complications, following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with silicone oil (SO) tamponade for primary, uncomplicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachments.  This study was conducted from August 2023 to November 2023. During the study, 32 patients underwent surgical repair through PPV and SO injection. PPV over scleral buckling was chosen when cataracts or vitreous hemorrhages hindered proper fundus visualization. Patients received comprehensive ocular assessments, including best-corrected visual acuity, anterior segment examination, IOP measurements via applanation, and fundus examinations at different intervals: 1 day, one week, one month, and three months. Intraocular pressure exceeding 21 mmHg was defined as increased IOP. Our study included 32 patients (22 men and ten women) of Asian ethnicity who underwent retinal detachment repair by PPV and SO injection. The patients had an average age of 57.8 ± 10.1 years (34–76 years) at the time of intervention. The follow-up period was three months. An anatomical success rate, defined as retinal reattachment three months after SO removal, was achieved in 29 eyes (90.6%). Final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved 26 looks (81.2%), with a mean gain of 3 Snellen lines. BCVA remained unchanged in 4 eyes (12.5%) and deteriorated in 2 eyes (6.3%), with a mean loss of 2 Snellen lines. During the 3-month follow-up period, 17 eyes (53.1%) experienced increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Out of these, 15 patients had transient ocular hypertension, requiring topical treatment during the immediate postoperative period (within one month). Only one eye (5.9%) required filtrating drainage surgery for IOP control. Notably, no eyes developed optic neuropathy due to elevated IOP during this short-term follow-up. Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with silicone oil (SO) injection is a safe and effective surgical approach for treating primary uncomplicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Our series indicates that PPV and SO injection lead to good anatomical and functional outcomes, with high reattachment rates and low rates of proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Although cataract formation and elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) are common complications, they can be successfully controlled.

Authors: Dawood Numan Salman , Abdel Aziz Zainab Sami , Alkhaales Haneen Maan
Published: January 2024

Background: Using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, body fat mass has been determined. The assessment of body fat mass was conducted utilizing dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry analysis of the pelvis and vertebral column. While it is acknowledged that osteoporosis can impact both body fat mass and bone mineral density, the particulars of this relationship currently remain uncertain. Objective: The aim of the present investigation is to assess gender differences in the effects of osteoporosis on the body fat mass of the upper and lower extremities. Method: 170 individuals participated (85 males and 85 females) in this study. Patients who presented with bone discomfort consisted of 40 males and 40 females. In addition, 90 apparently healthy volunteers, consisting of 45 males and 45 females, were studied and considered to constitute the control group. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was utilized to determine the bone mineral density and body fat mass of every participant for all body parts. Results: Statistically significant disparities in body fat mass were observed between males and females, as well as between the control group and patients diagnosed with osteoporosis. Conclusions: Our results indicate that the patients with osteoporosis showed an increase in body fat mass (for both sexes). Other results obtained from this research revealed that females were more frequently suffering from osteoporosis than males.
The Relationship Between the Negative Monetary Policy and Stock Market: Evidence from Changes in S&P 500
Authors: Li Yichen
Published: January 2024

Monetary policy and stock price are two significant factors in financial markets. They can influence each other through economic variables such as the interest rate. Researchers require to understand their dynamic relationship to better analyze the market while investors should put emphasis on the two factors interaction to minimize the investment risk. This paper studies the relationship between the change in monetary policy and the stock price in the U.S. market under the background of the Federal Reserves rate hike. The researcher mainly uses the S&P 500 retrieved from the website of investing and applies the ARIMA model in Stata to estimate the fitted value of the stock price. As a result, an apparent relationship between the Federal Reserves rate hike and the stock price is observed. However, the result is slightly different from the researchers original assumption; therefore, two assumptions are presented to explain the difference. One of the most important findings of this research is that the effect of the Federal Reserves rate hike is becoming more and more obvious in the long run.
Sponsorship of Clinical Trials Related to the Shoulder and Elbow: Trends Over Time and Comparative Analysis of Trial Characteristics by Sponsorship Type
Authors: Caruana Dennis L. , Grauer Jonathan N.
Published: January 2024

Introduction:

Sponsorship trends have not been specifically evaluated for shoulder and elbow clinical trials, nor have trial characteristics been compared among shoulder and elbow trials sponsored by institutions, industries, and federal agencies.

Methods:

ClinicalTrials.gov was queried for clinical trials using the terms ‘shoulder’ and ‘elbow.’ Trial characteristics were abstracted, including start year, intervention type, phase, randomization, and blinding. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine associations between sponsorship type and other trial characteristics.

Results:

In total, 4,945 shoulder clinical trials and 1,517 elbow clinical trials were identified, of which 26 shoulder clinical trials and seven elbow clinical trials were excluded due to incomplete data. From 2000 to 2022, the number of shoulder and elbow trials initiated annually markedly increased driven by an increase in the number of institutional trials. Relative to trials with institutional sponsorship, industry sponsorship was independently associated with different intervention types, phase of study, lack of randomization, and blinding.

Discussion:

From 2000 to 2022, the number of shoulder and elbow clinical trials initiated annually markedly increased, driven by an increase in institutionally sponsored trials. For clinical trials related to the shoulder, design characteristics were found to differ based on study sponsorship type. This suggests that the design characteristics of shoulder-related clinical trials are shifting over time.

The role of hesperidin as a cardioprotective strategy against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity: The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and cytoprotective potentials
Authors: Alharbi Fawiziah , Alshehri Zafer , Alshehri Faez , Alhajlah Sharif , Khalifa Hesham , Dahran Naief , Ghonimi Wael
Published: January 2024

Background:
Doxorubicin (DOX), an anthracycline antibiotic, is a powerful chemotherapeutic agent effective against multiple types of cancer, particularly lung, breast, bladder and hematologic neoplasia (lymphomas and leukemia). However, its therapeutic usage is restricted by its known cardiotoxicity, which is associated with the production of oxidative stress. Enhancing antioxidant capacity represents a promising approach to mitigate DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Hesperidin (HES), a citrus bioflavonoid, possesses several pharmacological effects, such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant characteristics.
Aim:
This study was designed to evaluate the cardiotoxicity of DOX and assess the possible cardioprotective role of HES.
Methods:
Groups of Wistar rats were either treated with doxorubicin (4 mg/kg. bw., once a week for 5 consecutive weeks, intraperitoneally) or received co-treatment with hesperidin (100 mg/kg. bw./day in distilled water, 5 days in a week for 5 consecutive weeks, administered orally). Heart and blood samples were obtained for histological, immunohistochemical, and biochemical assessments.
Results:
DOX administration resulted in severe cardiotoxicity, as evidenced by significant elevations in cardiac biomarkers, including Troponin I (CTnI), Creatine kinase (CK-Total), Creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and Aspartate aminotransferase (AST). DOX also elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as Interferon γ (IFN-γ), Interleukin 1β (IL-1β), and Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). Furthermore, DOX induced oxidative stress and substantially reduced the levels of antioxidant enzymes, including Glutathione peroxidase (GPX), Superoxide dismutase (SOD), and Catalase (CAT). Histopathologically, DOX caused severe Zenker's necrosis, cardiomyocyte disarray, sarcoplasmic vacuolizations, cardiomyocyte congestion, and inflammatory cell infiltration. Immunohistochemically, DOX exhibited extensive apoptosis, as indicated by strong positive immuno-localization against anti-caspase-3 antibody. In contrast, co-treatment with HES protected cardiac tissues against cardiotoxicity of DOX, as indicated by the amelioration of histological abnormalities and the normalization of biochemical values.
Conclusion:
We can conclude that DOX induces severe cardiotoxicity characterized by oxidative stress, inflammation, pathological alterations, and apoptosis. Co-treatment with HES demonstrates significant cardioprotective effects by virtue of its potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cytoprotective, and antiapoptotic characteristics.
Antibiotic usage patterns in exotic pets: A study in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil
Authors: Barbosa Carolina , Teixeira Val , o Cl
Published: January 2024

Background:
The link between the reckless use of antimicrobials with the increasing development of multidrug-resistant strains of antibiotics is well established. To control the spread of AMR, action plans, recommendations and guidelines on the prudent use of antibiotics have been developed for food-producing animals and companion animals but appear to be lacking in exotic pets due to the scarcity of data and information on the use of antibiotics in these species.
Aim:
The purpose of this study is to bring qualitative and quantitative data regarding the use of antimicrobials in exotic pets in a veterinary center in southern Brazil, seeking to measure the consumption of these animals to determine and guide future actions to combat AMR.
Methods:
A retrospective observational study was conducted by surveying 2,190 open care records in a specialized clinic of wildlife medicine in 2018. Data evaluation was performed in a descriptive, qualitative, and quantitative way, and the analysis of antimicrobial consumption was performed by calculating the daily dose/g of animal ml/day/kg by animal order, condition and active principle, adaptation to DDDVet. For statistical analysis, Levene´s, ANOVA followed by Tukey´s tests were used.
Results:
Approximately 57% (1250/2190) of the visits made use of one or more antimicrobials in the treatment of animals referred to the clinic. Of these, 67% (n= 839) were birds, 26% (n= 327), mammals and 7% (n= 84) reptiles. During 2018, the total consumption of antimicrobials prescribed was 2.21L for the total biomass of 129.24kg. The relation between the dosages of the main antimicrobials used and the conditions treated showed that there is no variation between the treatments by disease and by animal class, due to the great variation within each group.
Conclusion:
The antimicrobial prescription in exotic pets requires a multifaceted and dynamic approach applied to safeguard the efficacy of the antimicrobials, optimizing consumption, minimizing the emergence of antimicrobial resistance and other possible adverse effects, considering the physiological differences present within each species. The doses between the different classes and conditions do not obtain a significant difference, reflects in a possible non-standardization of the dosages used, requiring further investigation the recommended dosages for each animal species, avoiding the over or underdosing of these drugs. It is worth highlighting that professionals must always make rational use of antimicrobials in these species.
A Study of Government Initiatives to Promote Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Sector in India
Authors: Pawan Kumar Gupta
Published: January 2024

According to Hon’ble Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, “Skill Development of the new generation is a national need and is the foundation of Aatmnirbhar Bharat.”

MSMEs are known as the backbone of the Indian economy; which employs nearly 11 Cr. of people and contributes over 30% of the nation's GDP and industrial output. To guarantee that MSMEs receive all of the benefits of these MSME schemes on proper time, the Indian government has taken the initiative. Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are essential to India's economic development and expansion. This sector makes a specific contribution to exports, industrial output, employment creation, driving innovation, and inclusive socioeconomic development. To encourage the expansion and sustainability of MSMEs throughout the nation, the Indian government has put in place several policies and initiatives. Nonetheless, MSMEs have numerous obstacles concerning official credit, creating jobs, selling directly to the government, high-quality manufacturing, obtaining microcredit, ignorance, and other issues. To help new firms get off the ground, the government has already established several programs to address these difficulties. But, due to a lack of knowledge regarding various appropriate schemes, many units are not getting proper advantages. MSMEs have still several challenges and barriers when attempting to obtain financing from banks and other financial establishments. Even though the government has already taken great steps to facilitate credit flow to this industry, much more work needs to be done to fulfil the MSME sector's actual financing needs. The MSME sector in India has a bright future since it creates more job possibilities, and aids in the government's efforts to reduce other macroeconomic issues including inflation, massive budget deficits, poverty, and imbalance of payments.

The present study confers the government initiatives for the MSME sector & the implementation & progress of important schemes in the present scenario.

The effects of weeds on crops can cause weed interference, which is the result of their competition with each other. The influence of weed interference periods on growth and inflorescence of Curcuma was investigated under field experiment. The critical period for weed control consists of the increased duration of weed competition period during the weed-infested treatment, and the increased duration of weed free period during the weed-free treatment. Weed-free and weed-infested treatments were used to identify the critical period for weed control with acceptable yield loss of 5 and 10%. The results revealed that weed infested periods at 10, 12, 14 and 16 weeks after planting and weed free periods at 0, 2 and 4 weeks after planting significantly reduced the leaf number, height of inflorescence, width of inflorescence and length of inflorescence of Curcuma, while plant height was slightly affected by weed-free treatment. In addition, the critical period for weed control with 5 and 10% acceptable yield loss was estimated to be between 6 to 10 weeks after planting and 5 to 8 weeks after planting, respectively. The critical period for weed control at 10% acceptable yield loss was shorter than the critical period for weed control at the level of 5%. However, the determination of appropriate critical period for weed control should be concerned to have better crop yield and reduce cost. Weed control estimation and recommendations can enhance more precise weed management, which is helpful in formulating appropriate weed-control strategies in Curcuma fields.
Penanaman Nilai Agama Dan Moral Pada Anak Usia Dini Berdasarkan Pendekatan Psikologi Perkembangan
Authors: Ekaningtyas Ni Luh Drajati
Published: January 2024

The inculcation of religious and moral values in early childhood refers to a process or way to introduce and accustom early childhood to be able to show praiseworthy behavior, which is in accordance with the teachings of the religion it adheres to and does not contradict the prevailing norms. It needs to be done from an early age so that children will be able to behave and form habits of good behavior. This is important so that the next generation will become a generation who are intelligent and have a commendable character both as religious people and as members of the community. This process must be carried out in accordance with the psychological conditions and stages of child development as described in the early childhood developmental psychology, not according to the wishes of the parents or teachers. It is crucial that children are actively involved in the whole process happily and voluntarily so that the results obtained will be maximized. If the child feels forced or tortured in the process, it is likely that the developmental tasks related to religious and moral aspects will fail to be fulfilled. Therefore, it is important for parents and teachers to master the developmental psychology of early childhood so that they are able to understand the task of religious and moral development in early childhood in order to facilitate the proper stimulation to achieve it.

Indonesia is the 4th largest coffee-producing country in the world. Coffee cherry can produce 60% CCPW, more than the core product of coffee beans as the main product produced. CCPW contains lignocellulosic material that can be converted into value-added products. This research optimizes the production of xylose and xylanase enzymes as an integrated process with a biorefinery model to increase the added value of CCPW using the Research Surface Methodology (RSM). Enzyme production is carried out using a bioprocess using Trichoderma viride. Xylose production is carried out using the dregs of xylanase production as raw material and xylanase enzymes which are produced in the integrated process. The xylanase and xylose produced are in the liquid phase. The treatment design for xylanase production is substrate concentration and incubation time, while for xylose production it is substrate concentration and xylanase concentration. Based on the optimization conducted, the optimum condition of xylanase production was 75% substrate concentration with an incubation time of 72 hours, which will result in xylanase an enzyme with an activity of 29.275 U/ml with desirability of 99.55%. On the other hand, the optimum condition of xylose production was 12.54% substrate concentration with a xylanase concentration of 4.01%, which will result in 0.53 g/L xylose content with desirability of 94.06%. These findings show that xylose production efficiency can be achieved through integrated two-stage biorefinery production for efficient and sustainable utilization of CCPW.

Exploring a Video Repository Solution for Education and Administration
Authors: Kahn Patricia
Published: January 2024

Online videos are used increasingly in higher education, both inside and outside of the classroom, to engage students and enhance the learning process (Sherer & Shea, 2011). Online screencasts are also frequently used, since new tools are readily available and easy to learn (Oud, 2009). Research shows that using technology to address a variety of learning styles improves learning, especially when introducing complex subject matter (Dunn & Griggs, 2000; Gardner, 2004; McLaughlan & Kirkpatrick, 2004). Research also shows that providing instruction in a hybrid modality demonstrates improved learning outcomes as compared to traditional face-to- face environments (CUNY, 2013). Finally, video accessibility for learners with disabilities has reduced the barriers students face for comprehending material (Rose, Hasselbring, Stahl, & Zabala, 2005). The College of Staten Island (CSI) has embraced the use of video technology; however, the technical challenges associated with streaming and storage have overshadowed its effectiveness in the teaching and learning environment. In order to address these challenges, CSI has researched video repository and streaming technologies. This paper will share CSI’s strategy in determining the appropriate video technology to explore, as well as findings from a pilot study leveraging the video repository solution in various disciplines and administrative areas.
