Authors: Lumngwena Evelyn N. , Mokaila Dipolelo , Aremu Olukayode , Katoto Patrick DMC , Blackburn Jonathan , Zilla Peter , Wiysonge Charles Shey , Ntusi Ntobeko
Published: September 2023

Socioeconomic factors such as poor health and poor nutrition in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) may favour inflammatory reactions, thus contributing to the recurrence of rheumatic fever (RF) and thereby modifying trends in rheumatic heart disease (RHD). Apart from epidemiological studies, studies of HIV infections in RHD patients are limited. This systematic review synthesises data on the prevalence and impact of HIV infections or AIDS on RHD from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science databases up to April 2021. The outcomes were managed using PRISMA guidelines.
Of a total of 15 studies found, 10 were eligible for meta-analyses. Meta-analysis found that 17% (95 % CI 8–33, I2 = 91%) of adults in cardiovascular disease (CVD) cohorts in Southern Africa are HIV positive. The proportion of RHD diagnosed among people living with HIV was 4% (95% CI 2–8, I2 = 79%) for adults but lower [2% (95% CI 1–4, I2 = 87%)] among perinatally infected children. Despite limited reporting, HIV-infected patients with RHD are prone to other infections that may enhance cardiac complications due to poor immunological control.

Planning Life Outside of Sport: Elite Aathletes’ Help-seeking Behaviours Toward Career Support Resources
Authors: Brassard Sophie , Bourdon Sylvain , Patricia Dionne
Published: September 2023

Despite results showing that planning the transition out of sport is associated with more positive emotional responses and fewer emotional difficulties in retirement, only a small proportion of athletes are using the resources available through support programs. This study investigates factors associated with the help-seeking behaviours toward career support resources of 191 surveyed elite athletes of Canada. Information on perceived barriers to help-seeking, the level of engagement to a career outside of sport, and the use of resources was collected using a survey. Results from descriptive and predictive analysis indicate three main perceived barriers to help-seeking: lack of time (51.8%), lack of knowledge (35.1%) and a fear of stigma associated with the use of career support resources (12.6%). Athlete age, sport category (winter, summer) and level of engagement in a career outside of sport are predictors of the use of career support resources.
Accompagnement en orientation à distance : réflexions d’ordre déontologique de conseillers et conseillères d’orientation
Authors: Turcotte Michel , Goyer Liette
Published: September 2023

L’utilisation des technologies numériques fait partie intégrante de la pratique de l’orientation depuis plus de 40 ans (Sampson et al, 2020). Toutefois l’accompagnement à distance de ses clients est un phénomène plus récent. Peu de conseillers et conseillères d’orientation accompagnaient à distance leurs clients avant l’arrivée de la Pandémie de COVID-19 (Ozenne et al, 2018; Turcotte et Goyer, 2017). De nombreux auteurs.es rappellent l’importance pour les intervenants.es à se former aux exigences déontologiques pertinentes à ces modalités d’intervention (Anthony, 2015; Bimrose et al, 2015; Haberstroh et al, 2008). Des récits de 27 conseillères et conseillers d’orientation ont été recueillies avant la pandémie.  De très nombreux témoignages faisant référence à des réflexions d’ordre déontologique ont été rapportés. On constate que ces personnes professionnelles, assujettis à un code de déontologie, se questionnent sur la manière et le bien fondé d’intervenir en utilisant ces modalités d’intervention à distance, que ce soit par l’usage de la vidéoconférence, du téléphone ou des échanges par courriel.
Supervision clinique en counseling de carrière groupal : une analyse qualitative du développement professionnel des personnes supervisées
Authors: Lachance Audrey , Dionne Patricia , Savard Réginald
Published: September 2023

Bien que la supervision clinique soit reconnue comme centrale dans la formation initiale en orientation, l’état actuel des connaissances est toutefois limité. Afin de décrire le processus de développement professionnel vécu par les personnes supervisées au fil des rencontres de supervision clinique en counseling de carrière groupal, cette recherche qualitative a été réalisée auprès de huit personnes supervisées et de deux personnes superviseures, dans un programme de formation de deuxième cycle en orientation professionnelle d’une université canadienne. En mobilisant le Modèle de supervision développemental intégratif (Stoltenberg et al., 1988; Stoltenberg et McNeill, 2010; McNeill et Stoltenberg, 2016), l’analyse thématique des enregistrements des rencontres de supervision, ainsi que des incidents critiques identifiés par les personnes supervisées met en lumière trois thèmes à l’intérieur desquels s’est manifesté le processus de développement professionnel : (a) s’adapter à la nouveauté en intervention, (b) de la réflexion-sur-l’action à la réflexion-dans-l’action, et (c) composer avec la complexité en intervention. Les implications pour la supervision clinique et la formation initiale sont discutées, puis des recommandations pour des recherches futures sont proposées.
Organizational Age Scale: New Lenses to Assess the Ageing of Workers
Authors: Doucet Amélie , Meunier Sophie , Martine Lagacé
Published: September 2023

Few studies have focused on the aging process within the specific context of organizations (Thomas et al., 2014), due to a lack of adequate measures to assess who is an older worker and on what basis do we define such a worker. This paper introduces such a measure, namely the Organizational Age Scale (OAS) comprised of subjective age-related indicators stemming from the work context (Sterns & Doverspike, 1989; McCarthy et al., 2014; Kooij et al., 2008). More specifically, the OAS measures the individual’s perception of his-her own aging as a worker along five dimensions: obsolescence, age norms, career stage, time remaining in the workplace and opportunities for professional development. Such a tool helps identifies workers at risk of embodying negative age-based stereotypes and thus may counter the negative consequences that can result from self-ageism.
‘Historical Mistake’ and the USA - China Global Rivalry: The South China Sea Dispute
Authors: BİCAN Buğrahan
Published: September 2023

China has been facing various border disputes with the neighboring countries in the Far East. Among them is the “South China Sea Dispute” which has become the leading dispute of the region in recent years whereby China’s acts with a sovereignty claim on the South China Sea Islands and the borders in the surrounding area led to the participation of neighboring states into the conflict. It is understood that the South China Sea dispute is becoming a predominant issue not only on a regional scale but also a power struggle between the USA and China in that it is a multidimensional problem with its geopolitical- geostrategic, legal, and military pillars. The aim of this research explain the multilayered features of the South China Sea dispute with the rivalry between the USA and China in the background.

Analysis of rainfall erosivity in South America
Authors: Corseuil Cláudia Weber , Giehl Marcos Ricardo , Pimentel Lauanne Oliveira , Back Álvaro José
Published: September 2023

The study aimed to evaluate and spatialize rainfall erosivity, average annual rainfall and erosivity density in South America, based on 173 rain gauge stations in 7 countries, using 16 years of historical data series. The erosivity factor (EI30) from the USLE model was used to assess erosivity. The erosivity density was obtained from the relationship between erosivity and precipitation. An erosion risk map was obtained by associating the erosivity density with rainfall. The lowest erosivity factor obtained was 71.00 MJ mm ha-1 h-1 year-1 in Chile (El Sobrante) and the highest was 2,2452.00 MJ mm ha-1 h-1 year-1 in Brazil (Belém do Pará). The erosivity density showed values between 0.49 MJ ha-1 h-1 (Chile) and 12.59 MJ ha-1 h-1 (Brazil). High variability was also found for precipitation, with < 144.00 mm year-1 in Chile and > 4,327 mm year-1 (Colombia). In northeastern Brazil and northern Venezuela were identified the areas with the highest erosion risk, associated with low rainfall and high erosivity density. This indicates that precipitation in these regions is characterized by high-intensity, short-duration events (storms).
Implication of inflammatory markers in post COVID syndrome
Authors: Rohit Rohit , Sharma Manvi , Nangru Mayank , Gulia Ankit
Published: September 2023

Post-COVID syndrome was described in the context of a survey of prolonged COVID-19 symptoms for the first time in 2020, run by the Patient-Led Research Collaborative, citizen’s scientist group. Symptoms persisting for more than three weeks after the diagnosis of COVID-19 fall into the category of post-COVID syndrome. The most common post-COVID symptoms include fatigue, dyspnea, olfactory and gustatory dysfunction, chest pain, myalgia, and sleep and mental disorders. The pathogenesis of post-COVID syndrome is multi-factorial. Underlying chronic, low grade inflammation has been theorized for pathogenesis. Available data shows conflicting results regarding the implication of inflammatory markers in full clinical spectrum and its long-term outcome.

Addressing the impact of COVID19 pandemic on Sustainable Tourism
Authors: Bashir Aaqib , Khaki Aijaz Ahmad
Published: September 2023

The Wuhan-originating COVID-19 epidemic has a devastating economic and social impact in many countries where tourism is essential in the economy. The global tourism and travel industry have lost 100.8 million jobs by the end of 2021 (Statista, Oct. 2021). The Indian tourism industry contributes 9% to the country's GDP and has to bear 1.3 trillion losses in terms of revenue and jobs (38 million), which accounts for 40%, of the total workforce (Choudhury et al., 2020). Amidst the doom and gloom of the COVID-19 crisis, indicated positive development in environmental parameters such as global warming, pollution, and climate change, which is necessary for tourism and sustainable development. The lockdown and travel restrictions enforced during COVID-19 also aided in reducing tensions between tourists and visitors caused by over-tourism. Meanwhile, this development by no means should be considered a silver lining for the environment, as it will surely hamper recovery once the world starts to recover from COVID-19. Therefore, it is an opportunity for all tourism stakeholders to come together and build a sustainable future. The present paper reviews the various measures and strategies taken across the globe and the scope for sustainable tourism development based on the opportunity provided by the COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of social, economic, and environmental factors.

The Architects of Hate: Garrett Hardin and Cordelia S. May's Fight for Immigration Restriction and Eugenics in the Name of the Environment
Authors: Chávez-García Miroslava
Published: September 2023

Drawing on the personal correspondence exchanged between Garrett Hardin and Cordelia S. May, leading advocates of population control, environmentalism, and immigration restriction, from the beginning of their friendship in the 1970s to the end of their lives in the early 2000s, this essay explores the closely guarded inner workings and behind-the-scenes efforts they took to realize their hardline xenophobic, eugenicist, and racist vision for a sustained network fighting for a white supremacist, English-speaking country. Drawing on eighteenth-century Malthusian ideas and ideologies and influenced by leading proponents of eugenics like Henry Fairfield Osborn, William Vogt, and Frederick Osborn, the dozens of letters they wrote to each other across a thirty-year span indicate that they worked to achieve their goals by joining, infiltrating, and building exclusionary organizations such as Zero Population Growth, Sierra Club, and The Environmental Fund. Set in a richly textured historical context, Hardin's and May's missives indicate that they fretted not only about unsustainable expansion but also about the presence and growing number of low-quality, unintelligent, and diseased people from around the Global South.
AN INSIGHT INTO THE SYSTEMATICS OF PLICATOSTYLIDAE (BIVALVIA), WITH A DESCRIPTION OF PACHYGERVILLIA ANGUILLAENSIS N. GEN. N. SP. FROM THE LITHIOTIS FACIES (LOWER JURASSIC) OF ITALY
Authors: POSENATO RENATO , CRIPPA GAIA
Published: September 2023

The Lithiotis facies represents an Early Jurassic global bioevent characterized by a remarkable spread of gregarious bivalves, which produced large sedimentary bodies in tropical shallow-water marine environments. The most peculiar and common genera Lithiotis, Cochlearites and Lithioperna, with aberrant and extremely elongated or strongly flattened shells, have been studied since the second half of the nineteenth century. Despite numerous systematic studies, their phylogenetic relationship with the other bivalve families is still uncertain. The Lithiotis facies yields other bivalve genera, among which a large multivincular mytiloid, provisionally determined as Isognomon (Mytiloperna) sp. ind. or Mytiloperna sp., is recorded in the literature. This taxon is here studied from a systematic point of view to clarify its taxonomic position and solve the open nomenclature adopted in the past. Here, we propose a new genus Pachygervillia and a new species Pachygervillia anguillaensis. The stratotype is located in the lower part of the Rotzo Formation (Calcari Grigi Group, Lower Jurassic), while the type locality is in the Lessini Mountains (Verona Province, Trento Platform, Southern Alps). This new species is characterized by a thick aragonitic inner shell layer with a fibrous, irregular, spherulitic, prismatic microstructure combined with a nacreous middle layer, both also occurring in species of the genera Lithiotis and Cochlearites of the family Plicatostylidae. This microstructural layering is here proposed as the main taxonomic character of the family, which is here emended and divided into the following two subfamilies: Plicatostylinae, yielding Lithiotis and Cochlearites with stick-like shells, and Pachygervilliinae nov. subfam., yielding Gervilleioperna, Lithioperna, Pachygervillia n. gen., and Pachyperna, previously placed within the subfamily Isognomoninae.
Polemica e maldicenza: la querelle Raboni-Berardinelli
Authors: Cappello Massimiliano
Published: September 2023

L’articolo ripercorre e analizza da una prospettiva a un tempo critica e stilistica uno dei dibattiti intellettuali occorsi alla soglia storica del 1993, individuata come data spartiacque di una «crisi della critica», e le posizioni che comunicano in merito alla teoria e alla pratica antologica. I suoi protagonisti sono Giovanni Raboni e Alfonso Berardinelli: l’oggetto del contendere (o il suo pretesto) è Per la poesia di Giorgio Manacorda (Editori Riuniti, 1993), «pamphlet panoramico, antologico e teorico». Le tappe di questa querelle sul tema dell’antologia poetica sono scandite da alcuni interventi apparsi su l’Unità e il Corriere della sera tra il 24 maggio e il 7 giugno 1993.
Antologie-cesura: abbiamo davvero varcato quel poi? Dopo la lirica e Prosa in prosa, quindici anni dopo
Authors: Fioravanti Samuele , Poli Anna Stella
Published: September 2023

Il contributo indaga la ricezione critica di Dopo la lirica (2005) e Prosa in prosa (2009). Lo fa intervistando il curatore della prima, Enrico Testa, e gli autori, i poeti (auto)antologizzati nel secondo testo, tentando di sgombrare il campo da una serie di idee reçues e fraintendimenti. Si propone, innanzitutto, di ridimensionare la rottura con il paradigma lirico che alcune frange critiche hanno attribuito a Testa e indaga, inoltre, le ragioni per cui Gherardo Bortolotti, Andrea Inglese, Marco Giovenale e Andrea Raos prendono le distanze dall’istituto antologico, preferendo ascrivere Prosa in prosa alla categoria del libro collettivo.

Authors: TEHREEM B , KAUSER H , PARVEEN R
Published: September 2023

This study aimed to compare doctors' and nurses' nutritional status and lifestyle working in a local hospital. The prospective study was conducted in DHQ Hospital Muzaffargarh. The study was conducted on 60 participants (30 doctors, 30 nurses).To conduct this study, a questionnaire was prepared and distributed. There were questions on weight, height, waist circumference, hip circumference, and BMI in addition to the standard demographic information (age, gender, parental status, income, and education). Questions on eating habits, supplement usage, digestive health, exercise, stress, and other aspects of lifestyle and diet, as well as their current nutritional status, were included in the survey. 2.0 doctors were underweight because their BMI was less than 18.5. Sixteen doctors and 22 nurses were healthy because their BMI was 18.5 - 14.97.8; doctors and 5 nurses were overweight because their BMI was 25.5 - 29.59. Four doctors and 3 nurses were obese because their BMI was 30.77 - 38.41. All variables showed no statistically significant variation in both groups except for waist circumference (p-value=0.053) and height (p-value=0.05). The pattern of exercise between both groups was not significantly different. There is no difference in the nutritional status and lifestyle of doctors and nurses.
Coyote figurations, Techne and Feminism
Authors: Babu Roshni
Published: September 2023

It is within the framework of situated knowledges in the field of biology and technology studies, in its relation to feminism that the coyote figuration is conceptualized by Donna Haraway. In what respect are they conceived by Donna Haraway to be figures of emancipation? What kind of affinity does it establishes with the figure of cyborg, as figure of posthumanism? Certainly, Donna Haraway hypothesizes the privilege of a ‘partial perspective’ having to play a role in expanding the epistemic horizon of feminist thought. This paper probes into the potential role of coyote figures as metaphors illuminating feminist readings of the relation between philosophy and technology. However, coyote figures have a generic character of transgression, and hence, borders on epistemological reduction of its ontico-ontological phenomenality which Catherine Malabou problematizes. Malabou’s eschewal of flexibility counters this binary by developing the role played by the “fantastic” in the espousal of plasticity of being. Being conceived in this originary mutability eliminates the interior-exterior division of beings. What are the comparable features of coyote figurations and the fantastic? And how does it add to the feminist understanding of philosophy of technology?

Published: September 2023

With the incidence of primary total hip arthroplasty continuing to rise in the United States, the innovation behind improving current total hip arthroplasty systems inevitably grows with it—each new design potentially ushering in new flaws. We report a case of screw failure with the Arcos Modular Femoral Revision System–Trochanteric Bolt and Claw Technique in a 74-year-old male patient. The patient presented to the investigator's clinic for their 20-month follow-up evaluation of their complex right hip revision. Radiographs revealed failure of the screw attaching the claw plate to the stem resulting in dislodgement and relocation of the screw within the intra-articular cavity. The patient elected for nonsurgical management and will continue to be monitored. Consent by the patient involved in this case report was obtained.

Published: September 2023

Ramsay Hunt syndrome, known as Herpes zoster oticus, is a rare neurological condition due to the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in the geniculate ganglion of the seventh cranial nerve. The triad is composed of vesicula-pustule-crusted lesions in the ear and external auditory canal, lagophthalmos, and ipsilateral paralysis. Diagnosis is clinical and drug treatment is with antivirals and corticosteroids. The objective of this work is to report a case of Ramsay Hunt Syndrome and reinforce the importance of early diagnosis to minimize neurological damage. Final considerations: It is important to highlight that although the triad findings appeared late, this did not affect the diagnosis and treatment of the patient, who today presents a significant improvement in symptoms and quality of life.

O presente trabalho propõe um sistema alternativo de abastecimento de água composto por poço tubular associado ao aproveitamento de água de chuva, este último para fins não potáveis, com o intuito de atender com quantidade e qualidade adequadas 5 blocos acadêmicos a serem construídos no Campus Marco Zero do Equador da UNIFAP. Os prédios em questão receberão o Departamento de Filosofia e Ciência Humanas, maior departamento em termos de usuários da UNIFAP, representando cerca de 24% da população total do Campus. A partir desse sistema também será possível reduzir as pressões no sistema de abastecimento de água do Campus que atualmente está operando com sobrecarga. O levantamento orçamentário para implantação do sistema misto como um todo foi de R$1.056.593,62 para atender uma demanda total de 5,13 m3/h com 90,75% de atendimento com água subterrânea e 9,25% com água pluvial; O sistema de água de chuva corresponde a 58,46% do valor total, sendo o ponto crítico justamente a reservação de água de chuva por ser a etapa de maior dispêndio. No presente estudo a reservação correspondeu a 42,44% do valor total do sistema pluvial. Em termos financeiros concluiu-se que é difícil atingir a viabilidade econômica do sistema de água de chuva, sendo o objetivo maior não o de economizar dinheiro e sim de garantir o futuro da sustentabilidade hídrica, promovendo a conservação da água e auxiliando no controle de enchentes.

BACKGROUND: The issue of non-physical violence against registered nurses in acute care hospital settings is a pressing concern. As per 2021 CDC figures, there is a prevalence of 38.8 incidents of non-physical violence per 100 nurses annually. Such incidents can lead to serious consequences, including behavioral changes and decreased job effectiveness. Addressing this challenge is essential for ensuring a safe and efficient working environment for healthcare professionals. 

AIM: The study aims to explore management practices related to non-physical violence against registered nurses (RNs) in hospital acute care (AC) settings. It aims to answer the following main question: What are the effective management practices that can identify the reasons for, and evaluate measures to prevent, non-physical violence against registered nurses in hospital acute care settings?

METHODOLOGY: The study employed a systematic examination of electronic databases, utilizing sources from ProQuest, PsycINFO, and the Medline library for the period between 2016 and 2022. Six paramount studies that scrutinized non-physical violence against healthcare professionals were included, with relevant articles meticulously analyzed to yield valid conclusions. Thematic analysis was employed to decipher the patterns emerging from the selected studies.

RESULTS: Notable themes encompassed the causative factors behind non-physical violence against registered nurses in hospitals and the strategies employed to alleviate such incidents. These factors include high work pressure and stress, inadequate training and professionalism, absence of person-centered care, and unawareness and issues with patient family members.

CONCLUSION: This study affirms that targeted training programs could significantly augment nurses’ capabilities to handle non-physical violence effectively. A heightened level of synergy between healthcare personnel and hospital management is crucial to enable immediate reporting of incidents and pave the way for safer working conditions.

Endophytic bacteria can promote growth and improve the quality of plant production. The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficiency of inoculation of a mix of non-host endophytic bacteria isolates in the nutrition of tomato fruits cultivated, fertilized with rock powder and different doses of nitrogen. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, in a factorial arrangement (2 × 6 + 3), with four replications. The treatments consisted of two methods of inoculation of the mix of endophytic bacteria: seed microbiolization and post-emergence inoculation; six doses of nitrogen fertilization: 0, 129, 258, 387, 516 and 645 kg ha-1; and 3 controls (without inoculation of the bacterial mix). The average export of macro and micronutrients in tomato fruits was, in descending order: K > N > P > Ca > Mg > S (averages of 1.33; 0.46; 0.07; 0.06; 0.05 and 0.05 g plant-1, respectively) and Mn > Cu > Fe > Zn (means of 2.67; 1.98; 1.71 and 0.79 mg plant-1, respectively). The inoculation method by seed microbiolization associated with nitrogen doses promoted significant increment in the dry mass of the fruits and in the content of the nutrients P, Ca, Zn, Fe and Mn.

En la actualidad existen numerosas investigaciones sobre consciencia plena en el ámbito de la educación en sus distintos niveles. En educación superior, la mayoría de estos trabajos se han afrontado desde una visión positivista del fenómeno y se han centrado en valorar los beneficios de su práctica sobre la salud y el bienestar del alumnado, así como en su rendimiento académico. El objetivo de este trabajo fue explorar las vivencias de tres profesores universitarios que enfocan su acción pedagógica como una experiencia consciente, a través del análisis de sus relatos de vida. La técnica utilizada fue la entrevista semiestructurada. El análisis de los datos se realizó en dos fases sucesivas, de primer y de segundo orden. El de primer orden consistió en un análisis categorial del contenido de las entrevistas, y el de segundo orden se centró en la reducción de los datos según el objetivo de la investigación, mostrando las tres perspectivas diferentes de enfocar la práctica que son discutidas en este trabajo: 1) como un proceso que ayude a despertar al alumnado; 2) como un proceso de autoconocimiento, y 3) como un proceso dirigido a la expansión de la consciencia no condicionada de alumnado y profesorado.

The role of phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms (PSM) in soil health and Phosphorus (P) cycle is a crucial aspect of agricultural productivity. Recent research has emphasized the importance of microorganisms in maintaining soil health. Phosphorus is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development and significantly affects crop productivity. The PSM solubilize phosphate by producing metabolites such as organic acids, inorganic acids, hydrogen sulphide, exopolysaccharide, and siderophore. Studies have shown that the combination of PSM with phosphate fertilizers increase the efficiency of the fertilizers in soils. The efforts have been made to integrate exogenous soil microorganisms into P cycling models. This review highlights the critical role of microorganisms in maintaining soil health and promoting P cycle, emphasizing the importance of incorporating them into soil management practices.
