Authors: Fernandes Larissa Kelly de Assis , Silva Tallyson Menezes Bento da
Published: October 2024

A diabetes gestacional (DG) é uma condição crescente na saúde pública, caracterizada por níveis elevados de glicose no sangue durante a gravidez, podendo aumentar a morbimortalidade perinatal quando não identificado precocemente. Fatores como obesidade pré-gestacional, idade avançada (acima de 35 anos), histórico familiar de diabetes e sedentarismo são riscos associados ao DG. Estudos sugerem que a obesidade prégestacional e o envelhecimento contribuem para o desenvolvimento do DG, indicando a importância de intervenções para controle de peso e monitoramento da saúde das gestantes. O sedentarismo e dietas inadequadas também são fatores de risco, enquanto uma alimentação saudável e exercícios regulares podem ajudar na prevenção. O farmacêutico desempenha um papel crucial no manejo do DG, oferecendo atenção farmacêutica, monitoramento contínuo dos níveis de glicose, ajuste de terapias e educação sobre hábitos saudáveis. Programas de intervenção que combinam essas estratégias podem reduzir a incidência e melhorar a gestão do DG, beneficiando a saúde das gestantes e bebês.

Abstrak
Tulisan ini bertujuan menentukan abnormally low bid criterion (ALBC) untuk mengevaluasi kewajaran harga penawaran pada pengadaan jasa konstruksi proyek fisik pemerintah yang menggunakan metode harga penawaran terendah berdasarkan data empiris sampel dari 2016 sampai 2021. Nilai ALBC dihitung sebagai nilai ekspektasi first-order statistics yang dihasilkan dari simulasi Latin Hypercube dengan asumsi identically independent beta distribution, yang dipilih berdasarkan hasil beberapa uji goodness-of-fit. Analisis korelasi memperlihatkan rasio penawaran berkorelasi dengan jumlah penawar, yang memberikan justifikasi adanya rasio penawaran yang spesifik untuk jumlah penawar tertentu, jika diketahui. Analisis juga memperlihatkan ALBC menurun seiring dengan bertambahnya jumlah penawar dan mendekati nilai minimum secara asimtotis. Tulisan ini juga mengusulkan batas bawah first-order statistics yang diambil dari nilai persentil ke 2,5 sebagai extremely low bid criterion (ELBC). Hasil simulasi menghasilkan nilai ELBC dan ALBC berturut-turut adalah 69% dan 83%. Tulisan ini juga mengidentifikasi beberapa keterbatasan studi dan ranah penelitian ke depan. 
Kata-kata kunci: Abnormally low bid criterion, extremely low bid criterion, first-order statistics, sistem evaluasi harga terendah, pengadaan pemerintah, Latin Hypercube Simulation.

One of the great promises of Linked Data and the Semantic Web standards is to provide a shared data infrastructure into which more and more data can be imported and aligned, forming a sustainable, ever growing knowledge graph or linked data cloud, Web of Data. This paper studies and evaluates this idea in the context of the WarSampo Linked Data cloud, providing an infrastructure for data related to the Second World War in Finland. As a case study, a new database of prisoners of war with related contents is transformed into linked data and integrated into WarSampo. Lessons learned are discussed in relation to using traditional data publishing approaches.
Supervised OCR Post-Correction of Historical Swedish Texts
Authors: Dannélls Dana , Persson Simon
Published: October 2024

Current approaches for post-correction of OCR errors offer solutions that are tailored to a specific OCR system. This can be problematic if the postcorrection method was trained on a specific OCR system but have to be applied on the result of another system. Whereas OCR post-correction of historical text has received much attention lately, the question of what role does the OCR system play for the post-correction method has not been addressed. In this study
we explore a dataset of 400 documents of historical Swedish text which has been OCR processed by three state-of-the-art OCR systems: Abbyy Finereader, Tesseract and Ocropus. We examine the OCR results of each system and present a supervised machine learning post-correction method that tries to approach the challenges exhibited by each system. We study the performance of our method by using three evaluation tools: PrimA, Sprakbanken evaluation tool and Frontiers Toolkit. Based on the evaluation analysis we discuss the impact each of the OCR systems has on the results of the post-correction method. We report on quantitative and qualitative results showing varying degrees of OCR postprocessing complexity that are important to consider when developing an OCR post-correction method.

Published: October 2024

Objetivo: Analisar Riscos e benefícios da terapia hormonal na menopausa. Revisão Bibliográfica: O climatério (ou perimenopausa) é definido pela Organização Mundial de Saúde como uma fase fisiológica da vida e não um processo patológico, que compreende a transição entre o período reprodutivo e o não reprodutivo da vida da mulher, período em que surgem as irregularidades menstruais e queixas vasomotoras, antecedendo a menopausa.A TRH surgiu com o propósito de aliviar sintomas e de agir preventivamente, reduzindo assim o aparecimento de doenças, como as cardiovasculares e a osteoporose. Está clara a importância da TRH na melhora dos sintomas climatéricos, como os sintomas vasomotores e atrofia urogenital. Todavia, menos de 20% das mulheres pós-menopáusicas fazem uso desta terapia. Considerações finais: Destaca-se que a menopausa é um importante evento fisiológico da vida reprodutiva feminina, normalmente acompanhada de alterações orgânicas importantes, as quais podem afetar a qualidade de vida das mulheres. O conhecimento dessas alterações torna-se fundamental uma vez que as mulheres já passam grande parte de suas vidas nesse período. Ademais, no momento, a terapia de reposição hormonal é a principal alternativa para minimizar os sintomas do climatério.

Authors: Irfan Zainab
Published: October 2024

Staphylococci is gram-positive, spherical cells, they are commonly distributed in the environment often part of normal human flora. Staph. aureus, Staph. saprophyticus, and Staph. epidermidis are the three most significant clinically important pathogens. Cytokines are small secreted proteins (<40 kDa), which are produced by nearly every cell to regulate and affect immune response (96). Proinflammatory cytokines are proteins that have been associated with cell proliferation, differentiation, and changes in gene expression, and synthesis of matrix proteins important to cell growth and tissue repair, these proteins are often released in a cascade, where an initial release of TNF is followed first by IL-1 and then by IL-6. 110 clinical samples include 110 throat swap and 60 saliva samples were collected from tonsillitis patients in Kirkuk of both gender and different age groups. Sterile cotton swab were used for throat swab and sterile container for saliva collection. The results showed that Staphylococcus aureus scored highest percentage (59%), followed by Staph. hemolyticus (15%) compared to Staph. epidermidis that scored lowest percentage (2.4%). A sensitivity test was carried out for all bacterial isolates, Staphylococcus spp. showed high resistance to Cefotoxin (, Benzyle-pencillin (, Ampicillin-Sulbactam(, Oxacillin (, Ceftriaxone (, and Erythromycin(, while Staphylococcus spp. showed high sensitive to Linezolid (100%), Teicoplanin (100%), Vancomycin (100%), and Rifampicin (100%). Staph. aureus scored high mean levels at IL-6 (14.51±13.1 ng/L) compared with other Staphylococcus spp. (0.52±0.1 ng/L), while Staph. aureus scored (90.47±77.79 pg/ml) compared with other Staphylococcus spp. (113.0±79.9 pg/ml).

Authors: Ali Amal M.
Published: October 2024

The 2-(1-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-5-methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-N'-(4-methylbenzylidene)acetohydrazide ( (IB) was synthesized through the condensation of hydrazide derived from indomethacin with 4-methyl benzaldehyde. Additionally, the complexes obtained from the ligand were characterized by infrared, UV-visible, 1H, 13C NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, atomic absorption, molar conductance, and magnetic susceptibility. Measurements have shown that the ligand behaves as a bidentated ligand and is coordinated to the central metal ion through the oxygen atom for the carbonyl group and the nitrogen atom for the azomethine group. The structure of the ligand and complexes was confirmed. With the exception of the copper complex, which has an octahedral geometry, all of the complexes have adopted a tetrahedral geometry.

Published: October 2024

This study investigated phthalate ester (PAE) contamination in water and sediment samples due to their persistence and potential health risks as endocrine disruptors. Sediment analysis revealed pH ranged from 5.35 to 6.72, with total organic carbon (TOC) levels varying between 0.74% and 2.56%. Water pH values were within WHO guidelines (5.5–8.5), and turbidity levels ranged from 0.60 to 1.40 NTU. Phthalate concentrations in sediment revealed Monobutyl phthalate (MBP), Diethyl phthalate (DEP), Dipentyl phthalate (DPP), Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). Sample SA exhibited the highest levels of MBP (0.40 mg/kg) and DEP (0.93 mg/kg). In water samples, MBP peaked at 0.01 mg/kg, while DEP reached 0.03 mg/kg, with DBP (0.07 mg/kg) and DEHP (0.08 mg/kg) also detected. Phthalate contamination in water remained below harmful thresholds. A health risk assessment calculated Chronic Daily Intake (CDI) and Hazard Quotients (HQ) for both children and adults. CDI results indicated higher risks for children, with DBP (2.20E-06 mg/kg/day) and DEHP (2.46E-06 mg/kg/day) showing the greatest concern. The HQ for children was highest for DBP (0.22), though still below the risk threshold. Adults exhibited lower CDI and HQ values, with minimal non-carcinogenic risk. These findings highlight the need for continued monitoring of phthalate pollution, especially given children’s heightened vulnerability.
In silico Analysis and Characterization of the F5H Gene Family in Sorghum bicolor and Its Role in Lignin Production
Authors: Kumar Anumandla Vinod , B Prashanth , Chandra Vikas , Singam Prashant
Published: October 2024

Ferulate 5-hydroxylase (F5H), a cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase, catalyzes the hydroxylation of coniferaldehyde, a crucial step in the formation of syringyl lignin monomer (S). However, evolutionary divergence, expression patterns under abiotic stress conditions (ABA, PEG and NaOH) and lignin content-related features of the F5H gene family in Sorghum bicolor have not been explored. This study envisaged mining of Sorghum genomic data leading to the identification of 61 SbF5H genes. Bioinformatics analysis revealed the phylogenetic evolutionary relations, gene structures, conserved motifs, physicochemical properties, and promoter cis-acting elements related to these genes and their encoded proteins. Based on the gene structural and phylogenetic features, these 61 SbF5Hs were grouped into 4 subclasses. The in silico expression analysis revealed higher accumulation of SbF5H1 transcripts in embryo and in root under stress conditions. Similarly, Other SbF5H genes have shown expression in stem and root, thus indicating SbF5H genes involvement in Sorghum lignin biosynthesis. By exploring into the functional aspects of the F5H gene, our study sought to shed light on its significance in influencing not only the chemical makeup of lignin but also the resultant plant phenotypes. This insight into the molecular mechanisms governing lignin biosynthesis can have implications for bioenergy production and crop improvement.

Are we our opinions? Can opinions change without losing identity? Can opinions be changed by facts? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, Professor Matthew Gault's seminar descends into chaos when a discussion about opinions and facts turns personal. Gault seeks advice from two friends, Tom Bollon and Sidney Plover, who explain that people often hold their opinions as unimpeachable facts, creating a "religion-of-one." They discuss the dangers of this mindset, including the rejection of critical thinking and the inability to engage in constructive dialogue.

Shannon Sullivan’s White Privilege and Antisemitism in James Gray’s Armageddon Time
Authors: Vannatta Seth ,   Society for the Philosophic Study of the Contemporary Visual Arts
Published: October 2024

This paper investigates Shannon Sullivan’s concept of white privilege through the lens of James Gray’s 2022 film, Armageddon Time. Sullivan investigates the concept of white racial privilege and the problem with middle-class, white anti-racism. In Armageddon Time, the Graff family, “good white people”, progressives with anti-racist intentions, actually strive to achieve the white privilege Sullivan analyzes. The dynamics of white privilege in the film are more complex because the family is Jewish. I argue that antisemitism provides a problem for Sullivan’s analytical matrix regarding white privilege, provide an alternative strategy for dealing with ethnic and religious nuances within the category of whiteness and offer a conjecture as to why Sullivan relies on a mostly binary white and non-white analysis.
Principle in Practice
Authors: Hayes-Mota Nicholas ,   Villanova University
Published: October 2024

This article draws on Alasdair MacIntyre’s influential theory of practice and employs it as a framework to analyze community organizing, focusing on the organizing tradition of Saul Alinsky. As a practice in MacIntyre’s sense, it argues, community organizing constitutes a teleological form of social activity that is oriented toward distinctive kinds of “internal goods” and that functions to develop new capacities within its practitioners to recognize, desire, and attain those goods, relying on standards of excellence, characteristic institutions, and its own “tradition” of practice. Such a MacIntyrean analysis of organizing foregrounds its ethical character as a practice and tradition of practice, informed by larger moral-cultural traditions. It also shows how organizing embodies, in practice, the core principles of the Catholic social tradition. Thus, it enables a clearer articulation of the conceptual and historical relationship between community organizing and the Catholic social tradition, and lays a theoretical foundation for further dialogue.
Who Is Our Neighbor? Other-Than-Human People and Climate-Change Organizing
Authors: Titizano Cecilia ,   Villanova University
Published: October 2024

Getting to know one’s neighbor is one of the basic tenets of traditional community organizing. The author expands conceptions of who one’s neighbors are. First, she introduces one-on-one campaigns, expanding this principle in the presence of other-than-human people and transforming community organizing into a cosmic effort to bring shalom to creation. Second, the author reads Laudato si’ through the eyes of Querida Amazonia, wherein Pope Francis invites all to drink from Indigenous millennial wisdom. With the help of Andean-Indigenous Christian ontology, the author explores other-than-human neighbors. The result is not an animistic or sacralizing view of the earth but a humble recognition of the place of humans in creation. Finally, the author shows how to do a one-on-one campaign with other-than-human neighbors.
Living Synodality
Authors: McCarthy Eli ,   Villanova University
Published: October 2024

Many Catholics living in violent conflict zones or in situations of structural injustice, along with Pax Christi International, Maryknoll, Pope Francis, and others, have been cultivating a tectonic shift toward centering active nonviolence in Catholic social ethics and approaches to conflict. This essay will illuminate how Catholic community organizing and strategic campaigns can both contribute to this shift and be enhanced by such a shift. The first part will describe salient features of this shift in Catholic theology and social ethics. The second part will assess components of Catholic community organizing and strategic campaigns that distinctly contribute to this shift. The third part will offer some initial suggestions for how centering nonviolence can enhance Catholic community organizing and strategic campaigns. In turn, these dynamics between centering nonviolence and Catholic community organizing can better illuminate the way of Jesus and the love of Christ in both the Church and societies.
Can Unions, Accountability, and Synodality Coexist? An Ecclesiological Analysis of the 2015 San Francisco Archdiocesan Teachers’ Union Dispute
Authors: Ruiz Ish ,   Villanova University
Published: October 2024

What place does organizing have in the Church’s synodal journey? In his address for the opening of the Synod on Synodality in 2021, Pope Francis described synodality as “unity, communion, the fraternity born of the realization that all of us are embraced by the one love of God.” Yet the process of collective bargaining is often fraught with division, contention, and adverse interactions based on competing interests. The author argues that, in addition to following Catholic social teaching, organizing serves a crucial pragmatic and theological role in the synodal journey. First, the author explores contemporary theology on synodality and, second, applies it to the 2015 San Francisco archdiocesan teachers’ union dispute, in which the teachers entered the collective-bargaining process to try to repel the archbishop’s effort to strip them of their nondiscrimination rights and force employees to abide by strict sexual-morality codes. Finally, he reflects on organizing’s broader ecclesiological impact.
Organizing and the Revitalization of American Catholicism
Authors: Wood Richard L. ,   Villanova University
Published: October 2024

American Catholicism today struggles to sustain its longtime character as a truly “public religion”—that is, a religious tradition with a vital presence within the public sphere in the US. Reinvigorating Catholicism in the US will require both internal renewal and new approaches to public life, both of which will require continuity with the deep tradition and significant reorientation of ecclesial dynamics. This paper argues that specific, faith-based community organizing practices can help renew the public voice of Catholicism. In adopting such practices and inflecting them through Catholic commitment to theologically coherent processes of leadership formation, American Catholicism can reinvigorate parish life and play a crucial role in reconstructing democracy in the US for a multiracial and multifaith society in the twenty-first century and beyond.
