BACKGROUND

Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is an at least 6-mo noninfectious bladder inflammation of unknown origin characterized by chronic suprapubic, abdominal, and/or pelvic pain. Although the term cystitis suggests an inflammatory or infectious origin, no definite cause has been identified. It occurs in both sexes, but women are twice as much affected.

AIM

To systematically review evidence of psychiatric/psychological changes in persons with IC/BPS.

METHODS

Hypothesizing that particular psychological characteristics could underpin IC/BPS, we investigated in three databases the presence of psychiatric symptoms and/or disorders and/or psychological characteristics in patients with IC/BPS using the following strategy: ("interstitial cystitis" OR "bladder pain syndrome") AND ("mood disorder" OR depressive OR antidepressant OR depression OR depressed OR hyperthymic OR mania OR manic OR rapid cyclasterisk OR dysthymiasterisk OR dysphoriasterisk).

RESULTS

On September 27, 2023, the PubMed search produced 223 articles, CINAHL 62, and the combined PsycLIT/PsycARTICLES/PsycINFO/Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection search 36. Search on ClinicalTrials.gov produced 14 studies, of which none had available data. Eligible were peer-reviewed articles reporting psychiatric/psychological symptoms in patients with IC/BPS, i.e. 63 articles spanning from 2000 to October 2023. These studies identified depression and anxiety problems in the IC/BPS population, along with sleep problems and the tendency to catastrophizing.

CONCLUSION

Psychotherapies targeting catastrophizing and life stress emotional awareness and expression reduced perceived pain in women with IC/BPS. Such concepts should be considered when implementing treatments aimed at reducing IC/BPS-related pain.
Mathematics Performance and Principal Effectiveness: A Case Study of Some Coastal Primary Schools in Sri Lanka
Authors: Egodawatte Gunawardena
Published: June 2024

This mixed method research study is situated in the school effectiveness research paradigm to examine the correlation between the effectiveness of urban, primary school principals and their students’ performance in mathematics. Nine, urban, primary schools from Negombo, a coastal fishing area in Sri Lanka, were selected; their student achievements in mathematics were documented in a longitudinal study from 1998 to 2002. At the end of 2002, principals in these schools were interviewed to obtain evidence of their effectiveness in six areas: (a) school vision, (b) decision-making process, (c) curriculum process, (d) staff development, (e) community relations, and (f) managing changes and challenges. The results indicate a measurable correlation between school performance and principal effectiveness. However, these results should be cautiously interpreted since there are other contextual factors that affect the functioning of these schools. The results also illustrate some challenges faced by principals in their day-to-day activities in coastal, primary schools in Sri Lanka.
Teaching in Uncharted Waters: Seeking Critical Body Literacy Scripts
Authors: Robertson Lorayne , Thomson Dianne
Published: June 2024

Schools are places of learning, but they are also sites of struggle when fitness, obesity, and body image issues converge for students and teachers. Responding to teachers’ concerns about their students on diets, a Canadian teachers’ organization produced a body image program which included a training day for schools undertaking whole-school implementation. The teachers’ organization commissioned research to determine program outcomes. The research team interviewed 48 participating teachers. Data include: teacher responses to a post-training survey, interview transcripts, and artefacts from school visits. Findings indicate that implementation is impacted by resources and the complex ways that students’ and teachers’ bodies are positioned socially. While the program intent was to provide teachers with body image lessons, findings suggest that other supports are needed such as knowledge mobilization of body image research, critical framing to respond to issues, and a theoretical map such as critical body literacy in order to navigate these uncharted waters.
Addressing Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Issues in Teacher Education: Teacher Candidates’ Perceptions
Authors: Kitchen Julian , Bellini Christine
Published: June 2024

Homophobic harassment and bullying are persistent issues in Canadian schools despite recent initiatives to improve school climate. Among the reasons is that educators feel reluctant or ill-prepared to address these issues. The purpose of this paper is to examine how teacher education can help make schools safer by addressing LGBTQ issues and homophobic bullying. After examining the issues, with a particular focus on the Ontario context, the authors report on a workshop titled “Sexual Diversity in Secondary Schools” that they conducted with teacher candidates. The findings suggest a two-hour workshop can help teacher candidates develop better understandings of how to address LGBTQ issues in schools. Recommendations are offered for creating safe spaces in schools by developing ethical knowledge among beginning teachers.
Exploring the Concept of Cultural Fit and its Impact on Positive Organizational Outcomes
Authors: Pérez-Temprano Javier , Leal-Rodríguez Antonio Luis , Sanchís-Pedregosa Carlos
Published: June 2024

Purpose
The concept of cultural fit, also known as "person-organization fit", has gained significant attention within the organizational culture literature. This study aims to establish the foundations of cultural fit and its influence on positive outcomes at the organizational level. By employing bibliometrics and network mapping analysis techniques, this research sheds light on the interplay between cultural fit and positive organizational outcomes. Further research is necessary to explore the contextual factors and mechanisms that influence the relationship between cultural fit and performance.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper makes use of bibliometrics and cutting-edge network mapping analysis techniques.
Findings
This paper sheds light upon the interplays between cultural fit and a set of positive organizational outcomes while providing a systematic review, which facilitates the task for new researchers interested in delving into this field.
Limitations and Implications
The available literature on "cultural fit" is considerable but fairly limited as it focuses mainly on individual and operational performance, leaving out such important aspects as financial performance and strategic outcomes. Additionally, the limitations could encompass the quality and quantity of articles available for analysis, as well as the fact that the obtained results solely assess publications indexed in the selected databases, potentially lacking a comprehensive comprehension of the research subject.As an implication, the study suggests that a positive relationship exists between cultural fit and performance. Cultural fit can be explored from different perspectives and applied in various situations. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms and contextual factors that influence the relationship between cultural fit and performance.
Originality
The scientific literature lacks until the moment of a rigorous systematic review with which to ascertain whether this paradigmatic concept contributes to or leads firms to attain superior performance.

Published: June 2024

Nghiên cứu này giới thiệu các hàm ước lượng thể tích gỗ của các phân đoạn và tổng thể tích gỗ từ phân đoạn gốc đến phân đoạn bất kỳ trên thân cây Keo lai (Acacia hybrid). Các hàm thể tích này được xây dựng từ 4 biến dự đoán. Đó là đường kính thân ngang ngực (D, cm), chiều cao toàn thân (H, m), chiều cao tương đối (h/H) và độ thon thân (Dh). Đường kính ở những vị trí khác nhau trên thân cây Keo lai ở cấp D từ 6 đến 26 cm đã được ước lượng từ các hàm độ thon thân. Sau đó tính thể tích của các phân đoạn theo công thức của Smalians, còn đoạn ngọn tính theo công thức hình nón. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy hàm V = a0 + a1(D2×H) + a2(Dha3/(Da4×Hạ)) được sử dụng để xây dựng hàm ước lượng thể tích gỗ của mỗi phân đoạn trên thân cây Keo lai. Hàm V = exp(b0 + b1×Ln(D×H) + b2×(h/H)-b3) và V = exp(c0 + c1×Ln(D×H) + c2×(Dh/D)c3) được sử dụng để xây dựng hàm ước lượng thể tích gỗ lũy tích theo các phân đoạn gỗ trên thân cây Keo lai. Hai phương pháp này cho kết quả ước lượng tổng thể tích thân cây Keo lai với sai lệch nhỏ hơn 5% và có thể được sử dụng để ước tính sản lượng gỗ thu hoạch trong điều kiện thực tế.

Published: June 2024

Este artigo analisa a implementação da política antimanicomial no Tocantins, confrontando-a com modelos tradicionais de internação psiquiátrica. Com foco nos 27 estabelecimentos penais do estado e nas 20 pessoas com transtornos mentais em conflito com a lei, a pesquisa investiga como o Tocantins integra políticas antimanicomiais diante de desafios estruturais e de estigmatização. A metodologia abrange uma análise documental detalhada e a coleta de dados de fontes como o Grupo de Monitoramento e Fiscalização do Sistema Carcerário e Socioeducativo do Estado (GMF), a Secretaria Nacional de Políticas Penais e o Sistema Nacional de Informações Penais. O estudo revela que, apesar de progressos com a Resolução N. 487 do CNJ, persistem barreiras críticas, incluindo a carência de uma Equipe de Avaliação Psiquiátrica (EAP). A implementação de uma abordagem humanizada e integrada é essencial para garantir o cumprimento dos direitos previstos na Constituição Federal de 1988 e nos tratados internacionais de direitos humanos, reafirmando o compromisso com a dignidade e a reintegração social dos indivíduos com transtornos mentais em conflito com a lei.

Fishing exposes workers to various occupational risks, including accidents caused by poisonous, venomous and traumatizing marine animals. With this in mind, the aim of this study is to present educational activities for people working in the fishing activities in the Região dos Lagos (Lakes Region) of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil, with a focus on accidents caused by marine animals (ACMA). The protocol was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Universidade Federal de Viçosa (CAAE: 53959421.8.0000.5153). The activities were carried out in the municipalities of Armação dos Búzios, Arraial do Cabo and Cabo Frio and included a workshop on the subject, lasting an average of four hours, preceded (pre-test) and followed (post-test) by an assessment consisting of objective questions on the ACMA. A total of 47 workers (with an average working time of 15.2±12.8 years) took part in the activity. Each professional suffered an average of three ACMA. A comparison of the pre-test and post-test results showed a higher percentage of correct answers to almost all the questions. Further studies are needed to estimate the risks of ACMA among fishing workers and to improve educational actions to minimize the impact of these injuries on this population.
Exploring the Drawbacks of Using Artificial Intelligence in Studies on Architecture:NLP and Highly Contextual Postmodern Architectural Discourse
Authors: Chrzanowska Olga
Published: June 2024

This research investigates the artificial intelligence aided architectural discursive sentiment analysis within the texts of the representants of architectural culture of the sixties and the seventies. The subject of inquiry for this study is to examine the nature and validity of sentiment analysis, using Natural Language Processing tools, on postmodernist architectural discourse. This paper searches to identify the possible drawbacks of using the NLP tool. The results show that the sentiment analysis of postmodernist texts using opinion mining techniques must be interpreted with the utmost caution. Especially in the case of unstraightforward, highly contextualized, and modernist reactive, often ironic or sarcastic, postmodern discourse. Two main reasons for that were found in this study. First, architectural postmodernists use many polarized words which might end in inconclusive results when opinion mining techniques are in use. Second, the postmodernist texts might themselves lack important contextual cues for appropriate classification of sentiment by NLP. Discrepancies and internal contradictions are characteristic for the postmodernist style of writing. and artificial intelligence still does not fully decode it.
Determinants of agricultural tractor selection - assessment from the perspective of a supplier of vehicles and means of transport used in agriculture
Authors: Niewiadomski Przemysław , Merkisz-Guranowska Agnieszka
Published: June 2024

The subject of the research described in the presented study are the determinants of the selection of agricultural tractors. The research was conducted from the perspective of suppliers of vehicles and means of transport used in agriculture. Its fundamental aim was an attempt to answer the question concerning factors that are crucial from the buyer's perspective and determine their decision to choose a specific tractor. Achieving the main goal required identifying and defining factors conditioning the decision-making process (the multi-criteria model), which was validated later in the study (the assessment of the significance of requirements). Such an approach enabled conclusions and recommendations regarding the method and direction of improvement in the range of offered tractors and related logistic customer service processes. The main burden of the study fell on desk research analysis including the overview of available literature and documentation sources as well as an expert debate (the method of competent judges). In order to transfer the issue to the level of the agricultural machinery sector - through an interview among a deliberately selected group of suppliers of vehicles and means of transport used in agriculture (including New Holland, Claas, Fendt, John Deer, Kubota, Deutz Fahr, Case IH, Massey Ferguson, Zetor, Farmtrac Tractors Europe) – the importance of determinants was clarified (the hierarchy of importance).

Authors: Orzech Paulina , Marcinek Wiktoria , Macander Marian , Jordan Józef
Published: June 2024

The sale of vehicles is an important element of their life cycle, which includes various stages, from design and production, through use, to recycling or disposal. Sales are an important step in this cycle because they influence how many vehicles reach the market and are put into consumer use. During the COVID-19 pandemic, vehicle sales have dropped significantly. Drastic declines in production during this period were the effect of restrictions that resulted in the closure of production plants. The article presents statistics on the sales of Mercedes-Benz delivery vehicles and the changes that took place during the pandemic. It also contains recommendations that mainly concern improving the effectiveness of vehicle sales in emergency situations. During the pandemic, the activities of many automotive industries were suspended and, additionally, vehicle traffic decreased, which resulted in a general decline in the production of components, parts, as well as future car designs. The aim of the article is to analyse the sales of Mercedes-Benz delivery vehicles and to assess the factors that influenced it in the analysed period.

MINIMUM WAGE AND RETURNS TO THE LABOUR MARKET ACTIVITY
Authors: Broniatowska Paulina , Strawiński Paweł
Published: June 2024

In recent years, the minimum wage in Poland has been increasing not only nominally but also in real terms. Observing these changes, we identify a research gap regarding the impact of the minimum wage on the intensity of labour market flows. While there is no clear-cut relationship, it is possible that such an impact exists and varies according to the demographic characteristics of the group being analysed. In this article, we examine four so-called risk groups: young people (up to 30 years old), older individuals (50 years and above), women, and people with low levels of education. These groups, being the most vulnerable, are likely to benefit the most from an increase in the minimum wage.
RENT POLICY DILEMMAS. REVIEW AND ATTEMPTED EVALUATION
Authors: Kucharska-Stasiak Ewa
Published: June 2024

This article aims to present (1) the mechanism of the establishment and consequences of maintaining a policy of low rents in the housing sector, (2) the complex process of transition to market rents, and (3) the risks associated with maintaining these market rents. Two main research hypotheses are proposed: (1) that government intervention in setting low rents leads to a so-called 'rent stabilization trap', with detrimental long-term effects on the housing economy, and (2) that the adoption of market rents in areas with unmet housing demand – which is politically and socially sensitive, especially in the context of high inflation - leads to a 'high rent trap', exacerbating housing availability problems. As the experience of several countries shows, such dynamics often force further legislative action on rent regulation. The study uses three research methods: document review, literature analysis and critique, and a case study approach.

Published: June 2024

A menopausa é um período crucial na vida de uma mulher, caracterizado pela cessação da função ovariana e pela diminuição significativa dos níveis de estrogênio. Este evento fisiológico é acompanhado por diversas alterações no corpo feminino, e a associação entre a menopausa e o aumento do risco de doenças cardiovasculares tem sido amplamente estudada. A redução dos níveis de estrogênio desempenha um papel fundamental nesse processo, influenciando negativamente a saúde cardiovascular. Este estudo se propõe a analisar de forma abrangente o impacto da reposição de estrogênio durante a menopausa em mulheres brasileiras e sua relação com o desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares, com base nas descobertas do artigo de Oliveira GMM et al. (2022), intitulado "Estatística Cardiovascular – Brasil 2021". A revisão sistemática dos dados apresentados neste artigo contribuirá para um entendimento mais aprofundado dos efeitos da reposição de estrogênio na prevenção e tratamento de doenças cardiovasculares em mulheres na menopausa, fornecendo insights valiosos para a prática clínica e orientando futuras pesquisas nessa área crucial da saúde feminina.
RELAÇÕES DE EMPREGO HÍBRIDAS NA ADMINISTRAÇÃO PÚBLICA. REGIMES DA RELAÇÃO JURÍDICA DE EMPREGO PÚBLICO. O CASO DA FCT IP E DA FCCN
Authors: Luís Francisco José Silva do Amaral
Published: June 2024

A relação jurídica de emprego público tem sofrido alterações, oscilando com a adesão de Portugal à então CEE em 1986 e a integração subsequente na UE, organizações supranacionais a partir das quais acolheu princípios de gestão privada, ideologicamente absorvidos e incorporados como mais eficientes e eficazes quando vingaram os modelos de governance do NPM e NPS. Nos últimos 18 anos, mudaram, portanto, as tipologias legais de relação de emprego, os modos orgânicos da Administração Pública satisfazer interesses coletivos, com recurso a parecerias com privados. Tal dinâmica teve implicações no estatuto socio-legal do funcionário público, alterado a partir da Lei n.º 59/2008 e pela 12-A/2008. Numa tentativa de aproximar o emprego público às relações laborais jurídico-privadas, o funcionário público passa a ser designado por trabalhador. Neste ensaio procuraremos refletir de forma sucinta e clara a alteração de paradigma aqui proposta, assim como, paralelamente será nosso desiderato sublinhar que o ocorrido foi potenciado pela intervenção de organizações estrangeiras em Portugal, que sempre tinha demonstrado grande resistência em reformar a Administração Pública, pelo que, apenas nos últimos 10 anos se assistiu a uma tentativa mais convicta de o fazer.

Группы эфемизмов по смыслу, использовованные в романе Ч. Айтматова «Тавро Кассандры».
Authors: Сопонова Айнура
Published: June 2024

Творческое мастерство каждого писателя заключается в его умении владеть средствами речи и правильно использовать их в своем произведении. Автор очень осторожен в использовании подобных слово сочетаний. Будь то легенда или простое слово, используемое в повседневной жизни, оно оживает и придает особый колорит, когда речь идет о творчестве писателя. Еще одна вещь, придающая произведению окраску и повышающая его жизненность, — это эвфемизмы в произведении.
Эвфемизмы могут ранить сердце человека и выразить резкое слово в более мягкой, то есть вежливой форме. Это считается вежливой формой речи, сообщающей о внутренней культуре народа, защищающей души людей от обид. Чем больше в языке эвфемизмов, тем меньше используется дисфемизмов.
В нашей статье мы рассмотрели авторское «Тавро Кассандры» и остановились на смысловой группе используемых в нем эвфемизмов.

Authors: Gusmiati Gusmiati , Soewondo Prayatni , Awfa Dion , Halomoan Nico , Sarli Prasanti Widyasih , Setiyawan Ahmad Soleh
Published: June 2024

Currently, 24.5% of the population of Bima City lack access to sanitation. The issue is predominantly concentrated in densely populated urban slums along the riverbanks, influenced by the cultural and societal context of Indonesian society. From 2021 to 2022, a comprehensive mixed-method study was conducted in three urban slums, applying the Integrated Framework for Sanitation Services (IFSS) to explore individual aspects within a socio-cultural context. Combining quantitative and qualitative methods, the research involved a household questionnaire survey and in-depth interviews (IDI). The study revealed that individual aspects are shaped by perceptions of the convenience of open defecation and latrine use as well as experiences with shared latrines, driving the adoption of private latrines. Challenges such as financial constraints and limited construction capabilities in urban slum communities often hinder latrine construction, though cultural and traditional values (adat) in the Bima community in urban slums help to alleviate these obstacles.

To study the catastrophic mechanisms of retrogressive landslides and assess the stability post treatment, it is essential to examine the internal factors contributing to landslides. This involves a detailed analysis of the characteristics of engineering geology, environmental conditions, and the impact of engineering construction activities on the landslide area. The comprehensive treatment schemes for landslides are determined using deep displacement monitoring and numerical analysis. It has been shown that the process of the landslide mechanism can be divided into four stages, i.e., primary structure breakage, rock mass damage deterioration, rock mass softening in water, and rainfall-induced instability failure. Rock mass damage and rainfall caused by slope excavation are the main causes and inducements of landslide instability. The monitoring results of deep displacement have shown that the sliding surface of a landslide is fully integrated. To mitigate the risk of secondary disasters, this study proposes a comprehensive set of measures based on the mechanisms of landslide instability and the support principle of a compensated traction zone. These measures include the implementation of prestressed anti-slide piles, the application of molten steel pipe grouting, and enhanced drainage techniques. The displacement of the slope was reduced, showing that the treatment scheme had a good reinforcement effect.

There is a notable emphasis on the development of photocatalysts to degrade antibiotics, such as sulfamethoxazole (SMX), in aquatic environments due to their persistence and associated toxicological impacts. In this study, BiOBr photocatalysts were synthesized by incorporating in-situ Bi doping. Various Bi/BiOBr composites were produced through a hydrothermal method at varying temperatures and subsequently characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm. The characterization data revealed that the Bi-metal began to emerge at a hydrothermal temperature of 180 °C (BB180) in the BiOBr-based semiconductor and completed its conversion to Bi-metal at a hydrothermal temperature of 270 °C (BB270). This transformation leads to the generation of Bi3+ in conjunction with oxygen vacancies, acting as active electron traps and enhancing the separation efficiency of light-induced electron-hole pairs. This results in a narrow band gap of Bi/BiOBr photocatalyst, increasing its sensitivity towards visible light. BB180 exhibited the highest photocatalytic rate in the degradation of SMX with a removal efficiency of 74.35% within 4 hours of reaction under Xenon lamp irradiation and an apparent rate constant of 6.5 x 10-3 min-1, surpassing the commercial TiO2 Degussa P25. This finding opens up a new pathway for the development of a catalyst responsive to visible light, specifically designed for the detoxification of antibiotics in wastewater.

Published: June 2024

This study explores the separation of antibacterial proteins from bovine serum using a simple and novel method developed. The salt out protein precipitate was prepared from the acid extract of the bovine serum using 30% ammonium sulphate solution. One volume of the precipitate is treated with two volumes of each concentration of SDS solution (1 – 10%) separately in refrigerator temperature. After a week of treatment, two layers are formed. The lower layer is frozen SDS where the upper one is unfrozen protein solution. The upper layer formed by each percentage of SDS was carefully collected and its protein content is also measured. The maximum protein content (90%) has been recovered in the liquid layer formed by 3 % SDS. The λ-max of pooled test protein solution is 276 nm. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of this protein was checked against seven human pathogenic bacteria and it is ranged from 4 to 1μg. In contrast, there is no heamolysis even at the higher concentration (33 μg) of the test solution. A single mild and faint band with approximate Molecular Weight of 45 kDa is observed in SDS-PAGE. This method of antibacterial protein preparation from cattle serum could lead a new insight in pharmaceutical industries for the development of protein based natural antibiotics.
