Protected Early Mobilization Using Buddy Taping Versus Splint Immobilization for Fifth Metacarpal Neck Fractures: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Calimag Alfonso Pio , Pua John Hubert
Published: October 2024

Metacarpal fractures are one of the more common fractures of the hand, with the fifth metacarpal neck fractures, commonly referred to as boxer’s fractures, comprising around 20% of all hand fractures. Currently, a variety of surgical treatment methods may be used for management, such as wire or plate fixations. Although these methods provide stable reduction, they are limited by higher costs and their invasive nature. Therefore, boxer's fractures have traditionally been treated conservatively with cast or splint immobilization, with these methods showing good functional outcomes. Recently, however, there have been studies showing similar results with the use of protected early mobilization with the use of soft wraps and buddy taping. This study aims to compare the patient-reported functional outcomes of treating undisplaced fifth metacarpal neck fractures with protected early mobilization using buddy taping versus cast/splint immobilization with the use of the Shortened Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Score (quickDASH). This study will be conducted with a comprehensive literature search from PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Google Scholar and ScienceDirect from inception to October 2022. All randomized control trials comparing protected early mobilization with buddy taping and cast/splint immobilization of the fifth metacarpal neck fractures will be included.

It is necessary to apply methodologies for knee surgery and rehabilitation of adolescents so as not to influence their growth and development after surgery. As the rate of knee injury among adolescents in developed countries increases, it is important to minimize the risk to the epiphyseal plate for continuous growth and development. In this article, techniques are reviewed to understand how to avoid damage to the epiphyseal plate and help the adolescent patient return to normal life in the shortest time without complications. Excellent techniques are used with widely used rehabilitation methods but long-term and longitudinal studies are still needed to observe the growth and development after knee surgery. Enough number of sample cases also needs to be secured to generalize the results, while the biological mechanisms causing growth disturbances after knee surgery must be verified. It is still necessary to conduct longitudinal studies to observe the growth and development after knee surgery. The biological mechanisms causing growth disturbances after knee surgery also need to be studied. Based on the results, medical practices for surgery and rehabilitation in adolescents can be standardized to improve the quality of treatment after knee surgery of adolescents.

Constitutional Review of Anti-North Korea Leaflets after the Filth Balloon
Authors:   Korean Constitutional Law Asscciation, Kim Hyungui
Published: October 2024

In 2023, the Constitutional Court ruled that the prohibition of anti-North Korea leaflets under Article 24, Paragraph 1, Subparagraph 3 of the Inter-Korean Relations Development Act and the punishment provisions under Article 25 of the same Act were unconstitutional. There is no disagreement in the Constitutional Court’s decision that the act of sending anti-North Korea leaflets is protected by the freedom of expression under the Constitution. However, the majority of the Constitutional Court judged that the prohibition of ‘distributing leaflets, etc.’ was not a regulation of the method of expression, but a regulation of the content of expression. Since it was a content regulation, strict review was applied, and the law subject to this case, which prohibited and punished the distribution of anti-North Korea leaflets, was ruled unconstitutional. Based on the theory of the special relationship between South and North Korea, the Constitutional Court judged that freedom of expression should be guaranteed in North Korea under the Constitution, and that the freedom to express North Korean residents that the North Korean regime does not tolerate is also protected by the Constitution. Through this decision, the Constitutional Court confirmed that freedom of expression is a constitutional norm that we must not forget even in the special relationship between South and North Korea. In the framework of special relationship that aims for peaceful unification, leaflets sent to North Korea can be protected as an act of freedom of expression. However, if the framework of the special relationship between North and South Korea is broken, leaflets sent to North Korea cannot be considered as an object of protection of freedom of expression. As of 2024, inter-Korean relations are increasingly entering a state of hostile confrontation. In the current inter-Korean relationship, anti-North Korea Leaflets, like filth balloons, are clearly dangerous acts that stimulate military tensions between the South and the North. Therefore, anti-North Korea Leaflets and filth balloons must be stopped for the sake of peace on the Korean Peninsula. Looking back at the Constitutional Court’s decision, if leaflets sent to North Korea are to be stopped by law, the purpose must be to ensure national security. Not the entire act of sending leaflets, but the act of sending leaflets north of the Military Demarcation Line without permission from the military authorities should be defined as an illegal act that is prohibited. And it is appropriate to punish those who “endanger military facilities and the lives and bodies of citizens” due to such illegal acts. The fact that anti-North Korea Leaflets are the only means of conveying opinions to North Korean residents is not a matter that needs special consideration in order to protect freedom of expression, but rather a reality that needs to be overcome in order to expand freedom of expression.

Tradizione straniera? Torri medievali di Chełm
Authors: Buko Andrzej
Published: October 2024

Chełm, a city located in the south-east of Poland, near the border with Ukraine, was a center of the Halych-Wolynia principality, founded after the fall of Kievan Rus. The period of maximum development of the city falls on the times of Daniel Romanovich (1204- 1264), crowned in 1253 by Pope Innocent IV and recognized as the king of Ruthenia. The city, completely rebuilt by Daniele, became in the 40s of the 13th century not only his residence, but also the non-formal capital of the principality. A peculiarity of Chełm and its surroundings are the remains of four medieval towers built of stone. Each of them is characterized by a similar shape, construction material and chronology. But there are also characteristics that differentiate the aforementioned towers.
Considerazioni sui più antichi monumenti cristiani di Albano (Roma): basilica costantiniana e catacomba di S. Senatore
Authors: Fiocchi Nicolai Vincenzo
Published: October 2024

Recent geophysical research and an analysis of the architectural structures actually recognisable in the current cathedral church of Albano Laziale (Rome), dedicated to S. Pancrazio, allow us to confirm the hypothesis, already advanced at the end of the 19th century, that the basilica is nothing other than the ancient church built by the emperor Constantine in the city of Appia, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, as we know from the Liber Pontificalis. Dimensions of the church are also significant in this sense, completely mirroring those of the Constantinian basilica discovered a few years ago in Ostia. The basilica of S. Pancrazio was restored in the early Middle Ages by Pope Leo III. As often happens, due to the baptismal role played by the episcopal church, after the first dedication to the Baptist, it was necessary over time to add (and replace) that to S. Pancrazio, as also happened in other cases of ancient Constantinian churches (S. Restituta a Naples, S. Stefano a Capua).

Iles, frontières et archéologies
Authors: Pergola Philippe
Published: October 2024

This reflection, which I dedicate to my friend Guido Vannini, deals with themes at the heart of his scientific way, his method and our relations and exchanges over the past decades. Christian archaeology is by far the veteran of “post-Roman” archaeologies. A discipline born in 16th century papal Rome, it was originally strongly marked by the seal of an apologetic Catholicism, in the hottest moments of the Counter-Reformation. During the second half of the 19th century it gradually emerged from this ideological confinement. During the 20th century it became internationalized and broadened the scope of its interests. The real turning point came in the 1970s, when medieval archaeology was gaining ground. The 1980s were the years in which the centuries long considered obscure (7th-8th centuries in particular) were the object of all the attention of Christian, Classical and Medieval Archaeologies, each initially claiming a sort of monopoly, according to different ideological parameters (among those who “believe in heaven and those who do not”... ), in a “je t’aime, moi non plus”, made up of angry looks, deaf dialogues, then today’s finally constructive exchanges and debates, and new balances arise from these initial conflicts and stimulating debates.
Palatium communis. Riflessioni sui centri del potere nella città basso medievale alla luce dell’archeologia
Authors: Somma Maria Carla
Published: October 2024

The contribution, taking inspiration from the context of the city of Leopoli-Cencelle, which has returned the remains of the late medieval public palace, intends to provide some food for thought on this category of buildings for which an extensive bibliography of historical studies is available, but which they are still only marginally treated from an archaeological point of view today. We will try to highlight the new elements and peculiarities of an archaeological approach, both as regards the layout, the construction methods, the functions, and the insertion into the urban context of the late medieval city and the relationship with the pre-existences.

Ingenuidade e Inércia Cognitiva como Atributos para a Viralização de Fake News nas Redes Sociais Online
Authors: Lima Paulo Ricardo Silva , Ferreira João Rodrigo Santos , De Souza Edivanio Duarte
Published: October 2024

The dissemination of fake news on online social networks has created a scenario of disinformation in which manipulation and control are used to influence behavior and gain advantages. This phenomenon has motivated joint efforts to inhibit its spread. However, despite these initiatives, the problem persists. The assumption is that users of these channels, who are key agents in confronting this phenomenon, become contributors to disinformation when affected by naivety or cognitive inertia. The aim is to analyze the role of these users in the spread of fake news and identify factors that influence their uncritical stance. Conducted through a narrative review of the literature for theoretical purposes, this analysis adopts a reflective, exploratory and essayistic approach to the condition of co-participants of online social network users in the face of the problem of fake news, based on key themes such as post-truth and critical information competence, and illustrated by an empirical analysis of three specific cases of viral fake news. It is concluded that users of online social networks, when naive and inert, are part of the problem and, therefore, need to be more reactive, instead of, consciously or unconsciously, becoming agents of misinformation.
A (contra)reforma do ensino médio e o capitalismo histórico
Authors: Ferreira Fábio Henrique
Published: October 2024

The Brazilian high school, the last stage of basic education, is at an emblematic moment in its history. The law 13.415/2017 puts structural changes in this stage of education, such as changes in workload and inclusion of new curricular components, in line with a new national curriculum, the Common National Curricular Base. We seek to contribute to the understanding of the situation of the curricular component of Sociology (representing the Social Sciences) in this significant movement, specifying the case of the State of São Paulo, given that the component has a history of instability in school education, minimized with its inclusion as compulsory throughout the country in 2008. This contribution focuses on the relationships between the historical moment of changes in secondary education and the ruptures and continuities of the capitalist productive system, using the Systemic Cycles of Accumulation as a tool for analysis. The configuration of Sociology will be approached from the category of powerful knowledge, and how this knowledge is compromised in the current changes.

Authors: Rosyidah Aminatur , Hidayah Elok , Lindasari Lindasari
Published: October 2024

Trembesi (Samanea saman) plays an important role in the Djawatan forest area. The presence of Djawatan forest in the city adds vital value to trembesi, such as maintaining ecosystem stability, soil stability, water supply stability, O2 supply, and CO2 absorption. This study aims to determine the density of trembesi trees in the Djawatan forest area. The presence of trembesi in the Djawatan forest is crucial for the numerous flora and fauna sheltered beneath it. Therefore, understanding the distribution pattern of trembesi in the Djawatan forest area is essential to ascertain environmental influences on the growth of trembesi. The research method used in this study was descriptive qualitative through observation and interviews. Trembesi distribution in this study was observed in four different zones: waterfront, rice field edge, central Djawatan forest, and settlement edge. Based on the research results, it is known that trembesi distribution is influenced by the surrounding environmental conditions. This is evidenced by data showing that the highest average density of trembesi is found in the central Djawatan forest area, which is 0.50%.

Distributional Properties of Generalized Diversity Index Based on two-key Species Abundance Models
Authors: Shamia Gebriel M. , Al-Shareef Ala Eddin
Published: October 2024

In the area of ecological research, the study of species diversity of a community or population seems to have been fully developed. However, the problem of how the distributions and expectations of the sample diversity indices are affected by population diversity has received little attention. This paper is concerned with methods of moments of improved generalized diversity index, N(α,β) due to Shamia's (2013) proposal which includes special cases. This improved index is a further generalization due to Good as described by Backowski et al., (1997). In this article, the first four central moments of N(α,β) are derived for both general species relative abundance models: the Broken-Stick model and Sequential-Breakage model within a range of (α,β) considered. This allows the determination of the skewness and kurtosis of N(α,β) and thus gives information about the behaviour of the distribution of the improved index. The results are applied for comparing the diversities of the communities based on the samples n>s, and they yielded certain desirable monotonicity properties for large samples. It can be also shown that such indices are asymptotically normally distributed.

Authors: N Aghoutane , M Taraa , Y Larza
Published: October 2024

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a rare genetic disorder transmitted in an autosomal dominant mode. Its progression in young adults is marked by vascular, digestive, and obstetric complications. We report the case of a 24-year-old woman presenting with a mass in the right femoral triangle. Non-invasive imaging revealed multiple staged arterial aneurysms in the lower limbs. The diagnosis of vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome was established based on facial dysmorphia, acrogeria, and a history of right humeral aneurysm surgery. The patient underwent surgery for the right femoral aneurysm due to its significant size and risk of rupture, with simple monitoring for the other arterial aneurysms that were discovered incidentally. The postoperative course was uneventful with a favorable outcome.
The Impact of Financial Inclusion on Economic Growth in Nigeria: A Secondary Data Analysis
Authors: Ukaoma Udensi Isaac , Inioluwa Akintunde Paul
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the impact of financial inclusion on economic growth in Nigeria, a country where a significant portion of the population remains financially excluded despite ongoing efforts to enhance access to financial services. The problem addressed is the limited understanding of how various aspects of financial inclusion, particularly mobile money, banking services, and credit availability, affect Nigeria's GDP growth. The primary objectives of the study are to assess the current level of financial inclusion, analyze its relationship with GDP growth, and provide evidence-based policy recommendations to improve financial access and support economic development. To achieve these objectives, a secondary data analysis was conducted, employing multiple linear regression, Pearson correlation, and Granger causality tests. The findings reveal a marginally significant positive relationship between Mobile Money Subscriptions (MMS) and GDP growth, while access to formal banking services and credit availability showed no significant correlation with economic growth. These results highlight the importance of mobile money as a key driver of financial inclusion, contrasting with the limited impact of traditional banking services. Based on these findings, the study recommends enhancing mobile money infrastructure, strengthening financial literacy programs, promoting inclusive banking models, and fostering collaboration with fintech firms. Implementing these recommendations could significantly improve financial inclusion in Nigeria, ultimately contributing to sustained economic growth and enhanced welfare for the population.
Hiposubjektivitas Timothy Morton: Sebuah Tawaran Filsafat Manusia di Era Antroposen
Authors: Rafiq Devananta
Published: October 2024

This article proposes a new alternative account to anthropocentric explanations of the philosophy of man through Timothy Morton’s view of ‘hyposubjectivity’. Anthropocentrism is a paradigm that privileges human beings in cosmology, epistemology, and axiology. An alternative view is important because large-scale changes are threatening and may lead to the extinction of life in the biosphere, which results in a new proposed geological time classiÞcation that shifts the Holocene epoch to the Anthropocene. Ironically, while the anthropocentric view proves its premise on human dominance over non-human conditions, this change has in fact made humans powerless in the face of the change itself. Through the concept of hyposubjectivity, Morton offers an explanation of the relationship between humans and nonhumans as a symbiotic collective that should work together through solidarity between ‘species beings’. This article wants to emphasize the meaning that human being does not constitute the totality of the universe.
Abstrak
Melalui pandangan Timothy Morton tentang ‘hiposubjektivitas’, artikel ini mencoba memberikan alternatif baru terhadap filsafat manusia yang tidak antroposentris. Antroposentrisme sendiri merupakan paradigma yang memberikan keistimewaan bagi manusia secara kosmologis, epistemik, dan aksiologis. Pandangan alternatif penting karena krisis lingkungan skala besar sedang terjadi dengan akibat kehidupan pada biosfer terancam punah hingga memunculkan usulan klasifikasi waktu geologis baru: dari kala Holosen menjadi Antroposen. Secara ironis, kala Antroposen menunjukkan di satu sisi kebenaran premis antroposentris bahwa kedigdayaan manusia telah berhasil mengintervensi kondisi non-manusia, tetapi di sisi lain perubahan ini kemudian justru membuat manusia tidak berdaya di hadapan krisis yang diakibatkannya sendiri. Melalui konsep hiposubjektivitas, Morton menawarkan penjelasan relasi antara manusia dan non-manusia sebagai suatu kolektif simbiotis yang seharusnya saling bekerja sama melalui solidaritas antara ‘makhluk spesies’. Dengan demikian, artikel ini menekankan pemaknaan bahwa manusia bukanlah segala-galanya di semesta ini.

Based on the results obtained, graphs of the heat transfer coefcients were constructed, which showed the dependence of the linear heat transfer coefcient on the speed of the substrate. Thanks to these data, the minimum value of the heat exchange surface area was established. Conclusion. Performed design calculations of a sectional shell-and-tube single-section heat exchanger for beet pulp and a “pipe-in-pipe” heater showed the possibility of their use for heating the substrate. The calculation results allowed us to conclude that use as part of a two-stage biogas plant with a “pipe-in-pipe” heater is more appropriate.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, making early detection critical. Various diagnostic methods, including clinical tests, CT, MRI, ECG, and impedance cardiography, are commonly used to detect heart disease. However, traditional coronary artery disease (CAD) detection methods using ECG data face challenges due to the time-series nature of ECG signals, which complicates handling multiple classes. To address this, the study proposes a deep learning-based approach that enhances CAD detection accuracy by integrating two models Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) with a hybrid dataset combining PTB-ECG and MIT-BIH data. This hybrid dataset consists of two target classes: normal (0) and abnormal (1), created by merging all MIT-BIH classes with the PTB-ECG normal class as “0” and abnormal samples from PTB-ECG as “1”. Pre-processing was performed using Gaussian distribution for normalization, standardization, and outlier removal. The study applied four classification approaches: CNN, CNN+LSTM, CNN with SMOTE-balanced data, and CNN+LSTM with SMOTE-balanced data. Results indicate that CNN with SMOTE-balanced data achieved the best performance, with training metrics of 0.9998 accuracy, 1.00 precision, 1.00 recall, and 1.00 F1-score for both classes. Testing results using CNN+SMOTE reached 0.9991 accuracy, 1.00 precision, 1.00 recall, and 1.00 F1-score. The model surpasses state-of-the-art studies, which achieved 0.992 accuracy and F1-score of 0.986 on PTB-ECG and MIT-BIH datasets, respectively. This study demonstrates that combining CNN with SMOTE on a hybrid dataset can significantly improve CAD detection accuracy.

Published: October 2024

Este artigo tem o objetivo de apresentar a concepção de conscientização nos escritos de Freire, articulado à historiografia brasileira. O percurso metodológico adotado foi a pesquisa bibliográfica para a seguinte reflexão: Como a concepção de conscientização foi ressignificada por Freire, considerando suas vivências e obra atrelada aos contextos históricos brasileiros vividos por ele? Assim, estabelecemos um diálogo entre o contexto histórico e o termo conscientização com a sua utilização, realizando as análises sob o olhar crítico da corrente historiográfica do materialismo histórico-dialético. Concluímos que a conscientização é uma das categorias fundantes em Freire, pois é compromisso histórico, é exigência do e para o próprio processo histórico do qual fazemos parte.
Abstract
This article aims to present the concept of awareness in Freire's writings articulated with Brazilian historiography. The methodological approach was bibliographical research for this reflection: How was the concept of awareness (re)signified by Freire considering his experiences and work linked to the Brazilian historical contexts? Thus, we establish a dialogue between historical context and the term awareness with Freire’s use. We carried out the analysis under the critical eye of historical-dialectical materialism. We conclude that awareness is one of Freire's fundamental categories as it is a historical commitment, a requirement of and for the historical process of which we are part.

Este artigo apresenta uma revisão sistemática sobre os efeitos de diferentes protocolos de desmame em pacientes submetidos à ventilação mecânica. Através da análise de ensaios clínicos e estudos observacionais, os resultados indicam que estratégias como o uso de testes de respiração espontânea (SBT) e ventilação por pressão de suporte são eficazes na redução do tempo de ventilação e complicações associadas. Além disso, protocolos automatizados demonstraram ser uma alternativa promissora para otimizar o desmame ventilatório, melhorando os desfechos em unidades de terapia intensiva. Conclui-se que a implementação de abordagens padronizadas e o controle adequado da sedação são essenciais para o sucesso no desmame de ventilação.

The red dragon fruit peel (Hylocereus lemairei (Hook.) Britton & Rose) is rich in antioxidants like vitamins C, E, and A, along with alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins, which protect against free radical damage. Despite its benefits, the peel is underused. This study compares the formulation and physical quality of a body scrub made from red dragon fruit peel extract to commercial products. Stearic acid was added to enhance consistency and stability, and commercial products served as benchmarks due to their compliance with physical, microbiological, and chemical standards. Formulations with stearic acid at 5% (F1), 10% (F2), and 15% (F3) were tested for physical quality—organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, adhesion, and spreadability—over 63 days as an intermediate time points, at controlled room temperature. Data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics 20 with a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05). Results showed that all formulations maintained a consistent pH of 6 and homogeneity. The adhesion properties were consistent across all formulas, showing no significant difference (p = 0.815; p > 0.05). In contrast, the spreadability exhibited a statistically significant difference between formulas (p = 0.001; p < 0.05). Stability tests revealed no significant differences in physical quality over time, indicating that the formulations remained stable. The body scrub formulated with red dragon fruit peel extract demonstrated stability and quality comparable to commercially available product. This ensures that the active ingredients in the body scrub remain potent, enabling them to effectively deliver their antioxidant properties to the skin.

Patients consume inadequate food intake from the diet recommended for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients on the one hand and excess intake of phosphorus, sodium, calcium, and potassium on the other. The purpose of this research is to know the influence sharing-based peer group support on dietary compliance of CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis in the Hemodialysis Room. The research design was quasy-experimental with approach two group pre-post test design. Technique sampling which is used was proportionate stratified random sampling with a total sample of 54 people with CKD undergoing hemodialysis. Measuring tool used was a CKD patient dietary compliance questionnaire. This research was conducted in January 2023. This study showed the score of dietary compliance in the control group pre test shows that 63% of respondents have high compliance and post test the results obtained 81% of respondents have high compliance. In the experiment groups pre test found 55.6% respondents had moderate compliance, and post test found 63% respondents had high compliance. The results of the independent t tes found that there was no difference in the score of dietary compliance after the intervention was given between two group (p value 0.716 > α = 0,05). There is no influence sharing-based peer group support on dietary compliance of CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis in the Hemodialysis Room. Thus, it is suggested that the hospital devise a plan of health education activities at least once a week, so that it can improve their health status and how to prevent severity during treatment.
