Short-term exposure to di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate may disrupt hepatic lipid metabolism through modulating the oxidative stress in male adolescent rats
Authors: Lee Eui-Jin , Hong Yeon-Pyo , Yang Yun-Jung
Published: March 2024

Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) is commonly used to increase the flexibility of plastics. In our previous study, DEHP may increase hepatic lipid accumulation through modulating of acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) expression. Nevertheless, it is hard to understand the association between DEHP and DGAT1 in the liver because only one dosage of DEHP was used. Thus, this study performed to investigate the role of DGAT1 on hepatic lipid metabolism after various dosages of DEHP exposure. Four-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 5/group) were administered corn oil (vehicle) or DEHP (0.75, 7.5, 15, or 150 mg/kg/day) once daily for seven days. DEHP 150 mg/kg/day treated group increased body weight gain and relative liver weight compared to the control (P = 0.044 and P = 0.049, respectively). In histological observation, elevation of hepatic lipid accumulation was observed in all DEHP-treated groups, except DEHP 150 mg/kg/day, compared to that in the control (all P < 0.001). Portal inflammatory infiltration and acidophilic bodies were observed in the liver at DEHP 7.5 mg/kg/day and above treated groups. In addition, malondiadehyde levels, a marker of lipid peroxidation, in the liver were increased in DEHP 7.5, 15 and 150 mg/kg/day compared to the control (P = 0.017, P = 0.001, and P = 0.002, respectively). The expression of Dgat1 in the liver was significantly increased in DEHP 7.5, 15 and 150 mg/kg/day compared to the control group (P = 0.019, P = 0.002, and P < 0.001, respectively); however, there were no significant changes in the protein levels. Therefore, excessive oxidative stress caused by DEHP may induce liver damage such as inflammation rather than hepatic lipid accumulation by regulating DGAT1 transcription.

Expressive workshops in mental health
Authors: C. O. Faneco Maniakas Georgina
Published: March 2024

Studies development by the World Health Organization on schizophrenia and other psychoses have demonstrated, since the 1970s, that different social contexts represent important variables in the course and prognosis of the disorder. If the evolution of each psychopathological disorder is strongly impacted by socio-environmental variables, in addition to specific medical care interventions for psychosis must include management strategies that impact the complex constellation of variables related to micro social contexts. In order to develop strategies that help the psychosocial reintegration of these individuals and their perception about themselves, we developed expressive workshops in Psychosocial Care Centres in a large city in the interior of the state of São Paulo, as part of internship and university extension projects. Based on psychosocial and psychoanalytic references, and on the works of Augusto Boal and Nise da Silveira, expressive workshops on scenic improvisation and artistic expression aimed to provide to the users, especially those who express themselves verbally in a restricted way, materials and space to express psychic contents in a way to organize them according to their own personal elaboration rhythm. Offered to anyone who wanted to participate, 12 workshops were held per semester, with a weekly participation of 8 to 12 users in the improvisation workshops and 4 to 8 users in the artistic expression workshops. The constant frequency and active participation of users in the workshops indicate they are able to represent a valid instrument as an aid to other treatments offered to this population, as it promotes the expressiveness of psychic contents that remain outside the field of language, in addition to encouraging communication, the autonomy and social reintegration of the users.
Historical process and public policies related to palliative care in Brazil
Authors: Sousa Luísa Pedrada de , Souto Laísa de Souza , Barbosa Roberta Ribeiro Batista
Published: March 2024

Palliative Care is a concept focused on improving the quality of life for patients and families in the face of life-threatening illnesses. Its principles include symptom relief, affirmation of life, consideration of death as a natural part, integration of psychological and spiritual aspects, active support to the patient until death, support to family members, and a multidisciplinary approach. In Brazil, the implementation of this concept must be aligned with national health policies, based on constitutional principles such as universality and equality. Resolution No. 41/2018, approved by the Tripartite Interagency Commission of the Ministry of Health, establishes guidelines for the organization of palliative care in the Unified Health System (SUS), considering the demographic transition and epidemiological changes. Although the SUS already superficially addresses palliative care, it still does not treat it as a public health policy with clear guidelines. The reorganization of the care model implies reviewing spaces, management, technologies, training of professionals and communication models, shifting the focus from recovery to the care and comfort of the patient. The need to integrate palliative care at all levels of health care in the SUS is highlighted, making its implementation a priority in the face of the growing technoization of medicine, which often neglects the autonomy and dignity of the patient. The implementation of these guidelines will contribute to a more humanized and comprehensive approach to the SUS care network, recognizing palliative care as an essential component of health care.

The present study aimed to describe a case of middle ear cholesteatoma with recurrence after surgical removal, followed by an atypical outcome. A 40-year-old male patient sought medical attention complaining of otalgia and ear fullness in the left ear. Magnetic resonance imaging showed fluid content and mastoid cells occupying the left tympanic cavity, with foci of diffusion restriction in the tympanic box and antrum measuring about 1.4 cm, which is compatible with left middle ear cholesteatoma. The patient was then submitted to two surgical procedures (an endoscopic tympanoplasty and a closed mastoidectomy), at an interval of four months, to completely remove the tumor. After 3 years and 6 months, the patient had recurrence of cholesteatoma. On the day before the surgery scheduled to remove the recurrent tumor, magnetic resonance imaging revealed the absence of cholesteatoma, suggesting a spontaneous cure. The cure or natural disappearance of the tumour opens new research perspectives for the medical sciences.

Published: March 2024

Use information about the profile, lifestyle, and health of master's students before the COVID-19 pandemic, to assist in institutional and personal decision-making, both health and educational, for the present moment and future. The aim of this study was to identify and compare the sociodemographic, academic, and health characteristics of academic and professional master's students before the pandemic. The sample consisted of 375 master's students from a public university in the Brazilian Midwest, 306 academics and 69 professionals, who answered the instruments (Epworth Sleepiness Scale and SRQ-20), in addition to questions developed by the researchers. Academic and professional master's students showed significant differences in the variables age, religion, and alcohol consumption. Regarding academic characteristics, both highlighted their advisors. However, the results obtained before the pandemic already showed an unsatisfactory scenario, indicating the need to implement actions that would promote improvements in the mental health of students, regardless of the type of master's degree.
The use of robotics applications in classrooms with students with cerebral palsy
Authors: Gonçalves Marcus Fabiano , Oliveira Terezinha Azevedo de
Published: March 2024

In this article, we sought to raise the needs of students with cerebral palsy and their restrictions in the face of the school assistance that is guaranteed to them under the Federal Constitution for a dignified life. It is discussed how these students are assisted in the school environment, whether there is adequate structure and equipment necessary for their development in an egalitarian and dignified way. To this end, the present study will be supported by a bibliographic reference on the theme to analyze the distancing opened by the unequal circumstances produced in the school context by factors such as: the lack of auxiliary equipment for learning, such as, for example, the use of robotics. Although the Public Prosecutor's Office of the State of Rondônia (MPE/RO), when called upon, has met this demand at times, there is still much to be done. In this study, a parallel will also be made to the inequalities found in Brazil in a comparative analysis with another country, such as India, to verify if there are other underlying issues and what they are. In this context, we will try to note whether Brazilian representative democracy only guarantees equality and formal freedom in the areas of politics and justice – from where they coexist with inequalities, thus hiding a disguised colonialism, to deduce other possible ways to achieve possible concrete solutions and the correction of these inequalities in the educational context.

Authors: Ardiles-Irarrázabal Rodrigo-Alejandro , Pérez-Díaz Pablo , Pérez-González Juan-Carlos , Valencia-Contrera Miguel
Published: March 2024

Introduction: nursing students are a population vulnerable to mental health problems, especially burnout syndrome. Trait emotional intelligence appears as a protective factor against these risks. The psycho-emotional effects of returning to in-person academic activities post-COVID-19 confinement have not been described.Objective: describe the relationship of trait Emotional Intelligence with academic burnout in Nursing students after returning to in-person academic activities post-confinement at a Chilean university.Methods: quantitative-correlational, cross-sectional, non-experimental, non-probabilistic study. 213 surveys were administered to measure trait emotional intelligence and academic burnout in the post-confinement period. Differences in means were reported through post-hoc analysis with Games Howell statistics, and correlations were performed with the Rho Spearman coefficient.Results: there was a high percentile in trait emotional intelligence (58 %) of the sample, and a mild prevalence of academic burnout (92,1 %). Statistically significant correlations (p<0.000) were observed between several factors. The Well-being factor was presented negatively with two dimensions of burnout; while the Emotionality factor was shown to be a risk for increased emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, but positively associated with personal fulfillment.Conclusions: there is a relationship between variables, two factors of trait emotional intelligence were associated with burnout. Universities and academics must act as promoters of emotional intelligence in order to reduce burnout. More research and caution is required when automatically concluding that higher levels of emotional intelligence are always better in any circumstance

Its latex contains many important compounds such as Phenolics, Flavonides, and Terpenes, etc. Tephrosia purpurea is used as a traditional medicine to cure different problems of the digestive and respiratory tract. The aerial parts of this plant show immense antifungal and antimicrobial pursuits. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized from methanol extract of aerial parts of the Tephrosia Purpurea. These nanoparticles were reacted with lab synthesized Graphene to form Plant-Silver-Graphene nanocomposites. The characterization of plant extract, extract-mediated Ag-nanoparticles, and graphene-metal nanocomposites was carried out by different techniques like FTIR, UV, EDX & SEM. FTIR & UV spectra peaks were found in the ranges already reported. EDX analysis shows the percentage of the elements matching the reported data. SEM shows similar ranges of nanoparticle sizes as found in the research papers. Moreover, anticancer activities of plant-Ag-graphene nanocomposites were done & comparison was made with parent materials. The results were remarkable as plant-Ag-graphene nanocomposites showed better anticancer activities than the nanoparticles and plant extract.

Authors: Krawczyk Aneta , Rosicka Katarzyna , Wójcik Małgorzata
Published: March 2024

Introduction. The cesarean section rate in the 21st century has significantly increased compared to the previous century. Consequences related to the existence of a scar after a cesarean section may contribute to various discomforts in the abdominal, back, or pelvic regions.
Aim of the study. The research hypothesis posited that the application of stretching therapy of the anterior fascial band has an impact on and is associated with the scar texture after a cesarean section.
Study materials and methodology. Eight women, 3-4 months postpartum, with an average age of 27.5 ± 4.17 years, participated in the study. The MyotonPro device was utilized to assess the biomechanical properties of the tissue around the scar. The women performed stretching exercises for 2 months, twice a week. One session per week was supervised by the researcher, and during the other session, participants performed the assigned exercises independently. Measurements with the MyotonPro device were repeated after 8 weeks.
Results. A strong and positive correlation was observed between: cs_2 and cs_1 r = 0.88, cs_2 and ls_1 r = 0.96, cs_2 and rs_1 r = 0.82, ls_2 and ls_1 r = 0.97, rs_2 and rs_1 r = 0.96.

Effectiveness of reinforced feedback in virtual environment for upper limb rehabilitation in acute stroke
Authors: Loganathan Hemayuthika , Muthusamy Rajeswari , Ramachandran Sivakumar
Published: March 2024

Background. Motor impairments following stroke result in loss of upper extremity function which is often persistent and disabling. Reinforced feedback in the virtual environment (RFVE) could activate mirror neuron systems which are stimulated during action observation and action execution. This study aims to evaluate the activation of proximal muscles in paretic upper limb following RFVE training.
Methodology. Twenty-four stroke patients were included in the study, 12 in control group received impairment specific training and 12 in experimental group received RFVE training using Oculus quest 2 in addition to impairment specific exercise training. Surface electromyography (SEMG) of shoulder muscles of affected upper limb were recorded in both groups. Arm motor recovery was recorded using Chedoke - McMaster stroke assessment scale (CMSA).
Results. Paired t-test was used to analyze the results within the group which showed improvement in the both groups and unpaired t-test was used to test the outcomes between the groups where RFVE group showed significant improvement in average muscle activity in anterior deltoid, middle deltoid and CMSA scores than control group (p < 0.005*).
Conclusion. The results of this study demonstrated the beneficial effects of RFVE in upper limb training which showed improvements in muscle activation in SEMG and arm recovery in CMSA scores. RFVE training is a safe and well-accepted effective intervention in acute stroke rehabilitation that could become a successful intervention for early functional recovery.
Effective Counting in Sphere Packings
Authors: Kontorovich Alex , Lutsko Christopher
Published: March 2024

Given a Zariski-dense, discrete group, Γ, of isometries acting on (n + 1)- dimensional hyperbolic space, we use spectral methods to obtain a sharp asymptotic formula for the growth rate of certain Γ-orbits. In particular, this allows us to obtain a best-known effective error rate for the Apollonian and (more generally) Kleinian sphere packing counting problems, that is, counting the number of spheres in such with radius bounded by a growing parameter. Our method extends the method of Kontorovich [Kon09], which was itself an extension of the orbit counting method of Lax-Phillips [LP82], in two ways. First, we remove a compactness condition on the discrete subgroups considered via a technical cut- off and smoothing operation. Second, we develop a coordinate system which naturally corresponds to the inversive geometry underlying the sphere counting problem, and give structure theorems on the arising Casimir operator and Haar measure in these coordinates.

This research addresses the complex debate regarding the practice of polygamy, which is a hot and controversial topic in various social, religious, legal, and personal contexts around the world. This research focuses on the history, relevance, and solutions of polygamy practices in the contemporary era. This study, conducted through qualitative research, details the history of polygamous practices from historical, cultural, and religious perspectives. The research questions raised include aspects of how the practice of polygamy developed, whether it is considered a necessity or a lifestyle in the contemporary era, and how solutions can be applied to overcome the negative impacts of the practice. The results show that the practice of polygamy has a long and complex history relating to historical, cultural, and religious factors. In the contemporary era, polygamy is still debated with a multifaceted approach. The research proposes solutions involving public education on gender equality and human rights, strengthening laws and policies that support monogamy, promoting intercultural and interfaith dialogue, women's economic empowerment, and developing socialisation programmes. Psychological support, public policies in favour of monogamous families, and the building of community support networks are also considered important in curbing the practice of polygamy. This research contributes to a better understanding of the dynamics of polygamous practices by combining historical analyses, contemporary studies, and relevant solutions. The results reflect the complexity of interactions between religion, culture, law, and individual choice in the contexts where polygamy is practised. Efforts to reduce the prevalence of polygamy not only rely on enforcing social norms but also involve building solid foundations for healthy and egalitarian relationships and families in the contemporary era.

As the marketing landscape continues to evolve, consumer preference remains a key driver of corporate profitability. Extensive research has shown that visual attention is a critical factor in consumer decision-making. However, a comprehensive meta-analysis of online shopping visual presentation has yet to be conducted. This paper applies various eye-tracking dependent variables to investigate consumer visual attention in relation to four common interface design factors: brand, endorser, product, and text. Generally, from the research it shown that product and brand havd positive effect, while text might be negative. It is worthy mention that we identified the subgroup analysis involving total time of fixation (SMD=-0.020, 95%CI: [-0.079,0.039], p=0.507), fixation count (SMD=-0.032, 95%CI: [-0.109,0.045], p=0.421) and time to first fixation (SMD=0.464, 95%CI: [0.346,0.582], p=0.000). In this paper, exposure time obviously impacted FC (Q-value=11.637, p=0.003) and TTFF (Q-value=10.316, p=0.006) in the reanalysis studies. Meanwhile consumer preference highly related to FC (Q=10.953, p=0.001) and TTFF (Q=6.540, p=0.011) were under concern. Studies contained 17 papers with a total of 1071 participants. The publication bias was within the reasonable rang and the heterogeneity mainly resulted in subgroup and moderator differences. Our study on systematic review and meta-analysis show that, to appropriately control the consumer visual attention attributes could be a good solution for increasing consumer preference in online shopping interaction experience. Furthermore, more controllable design factor and moderators related to visual attention should be concerned for neuromarketing progress. In the future, other measurements such as ERPs, FMRI, fINRs could be explored for making better consumer sentiment experience.
Maya Cultural Heritage
Authors: McAnany Patricia A.
Published: March 2024

Situated at the intersection of cultural heritage and local community, this book enlarges our understanding of the Indigenous peoples of southern México and northern Central America who became detached from “the ancient Maya” through colonialism, government actions, and early twentieth-century anthropological and archaeological research. Through grass-roots heritage programs, local communities are reconnecting with a much valorized but distant past.

Maya Cultural Heritage explores how community programs conceived and implemented in a collaborative style are changing the relationship among, archaeological practice, the objects of archaeological study, and contemporary ethnolinguistic Mayan communities. Rather than simply describing Maya sites, McAnany concentrates on the dialogue nurtured by these participatory heritage programs, the new “heritage-scapes” they foster, and how the diverse Maya communities of today relate to those of the past.
Breast Cancer Surgery and Reconstruction
Authors: Anstett Patricia
Published: March 2024

More than 100,000 American women undergo mastectomy and breast reconstruction every year because of breast cancer. Thousands more are having double mastectomies to prevent it. So much has been written about breast cancer, and so much overlooks the reality of reconstruction when a woman has a mastectomy and opts for this process. It is difficult, painful, and traumatizing at times. Most women do not emerge with a new set of breasts and nipples in a single operation. Breast reconstruction usually takes months and can take years to finish. Some women never do, living without nipples or with imperfect results. Others opt not to have reconstruction at all. Still others struggle with one of the biggest women’s health questions today: lumpectomy and radiation or mastectomy?

Breast Cancer Surgery and Reconstruction offers a glimpse into the big picture of the various stages and types of breast reconstruction using stories and photos of real women. It offers a true picture of what breast reconstruction entails, and offers hope to those facing it. This is a book to help women with a variety of issues surrounding their choices, with powerful insights from women who have been there.
Doo-Wop Acappella
Authors: Pitilli Lawrence
Published: March 2024

In Doo-Wop Acappella: A Story of Street Corners, Echoes, and Three-Part Harmonies, scholar and musician Lawrence Pitilli details this too-little-explored area of 1950’s - early 60’s American culture. As Kenny Vance and the Planotones suggested in their classic song “Looking for an Echo,” every doo-wop acapella group’s mission—the search “for a sound, a place to be in harmony, a place we almost found”—was more than the story of street kids seeking recording glory. It is the tale of urban change, mass migrations, ethnic acculturation, a changing radio and recording industry, and the dynamics of cultural change in the “sounds”—sonic and linguistic—that every generation seeks to make and re-make for itself.

In his study of this neglected period, Pitilli uncovers a rich musical tradition practiced largely by amateurs in an almost mythologized urban America. Although most of these practitioners were musically untrained, their lack of formal music education and financial support neither diluted their passion for singing or their quest for possible fame and fortune. In this engagingly written and celebratory work, Pitilli further demonstrates that doo-wop acappella was closely tied to broader issues, including the self-invented individual, gender roles, ethnicity, race, and class.
Going Beyond Loaning Books to Loaning Technologies

Providing library users with actual pieces of technological equipment that they can borrow is a continuously expanding service at many libraries, especially as faculty and teachers require multimodal projects. For some libraries, loanable technology may include calculators, gaming devices, headphones, e-readers, laptops, and tablets. Increasingly though, there is also demand for all types of cameras, lighting, voice recorders, microphones, external storage devices, projectors, peripherals and converters, among hundreds of possibilities.

Based on their successful program at a large research institution, the authors provide a practical manual, complete with examples, forms, and templates that cover all aspects of establishing and maintaining a loanable technology program.

Going Beyond Books to Loaning Technologies: A Practical Guide for Librarians provides the nuts and bolts and the “behind-the scenes” details of developing a program and walks librarians and information technology professionals through even some of the complex decisions and processes, such as:

needs assessment

budget allocation

selecting, cataloging, processing and storing equipment;

circulation, billing, and troubleshooting

training

collaborating with others to offer consultation services

marketing, and

assessment

Practical and easy to understand, here is a one-stop guide for anyone interested in lending technology to patrons.
Jackie Robinson
Authors: Schutz J. Christopher
Published: March 2024

Jackie Robinson’s story is not only a compelling drama of heroism, but also as a template of the African American freedom struggle. A towering athletic talent, Robinson’s greater impact was on preparing the way for the civil rights reform wave following WWII. But Robinson’s story has always been far more complex than the public perception has allowed. Brooklyn Dodgers executive Branch Rickey famously told the young Robinson that he was “looking for a ballplayer with guts enough not to fight back.” J. Christopher Schutz reveals the real Robinson, as a more defiant, combative spirit than simply the “turn the other cheek” compliant “credit to his race.” The triumph of Robinson’s inclusion in the white Major Leagues (which presaged blacks’ later inclusion in the broader society) also included the slow demise of black-owned commercial enterprise in the Negro Leagues (which likewise presaged the unrecoverable loss of other important black institutions after civil rights gains). Examining this key figure at the crossroads of baseball and civil rights histories, Schutz provides a cohesive exploration of the man and the times that made him great.
U2
Authors: Neufeld Timothy D.
Published: March 2024

U2’s significant career far exceeds that of most average successful rock bands, with a prolific output of thirteen well-received studio albums and a sometimes relentless touring schedule. The band is famous for uniquely drawing together music, art, faith, and activism, all within a lucrative career that has given each of these elements an unusual degree of social and cultural resonance. Broad-minded musically and intellectually, U2’soutput is thematically rich, addressing a slew of topics, from questions of faith to anxieties about commercialism to outright political statements.

With one of the largest fan bases in the history of rock music, U2 and their work require contextualization and exploration. In U2: Rock ’n’ Roll to Change the World, Timothy D. Neufeld takes up this challenge. Neufeld explores U2’s move from the youthful idealism of a band barely able to play instruments through its many phases of artistic expression and cultural engagement to its employment of faith and activism as a foundation for its success. This book outlines how U2 reshaped the very musical and even political culture that had originally shaped it, demonstrating through close readings of its musical work the dynamic interplay of artistic expression and social engagement.
