Published: January 2022

Farming is essential to the long-term viability of any economy. It differs in each country, but it is essential for long-term economic success. Only a few of the agricultural industry’s issues include a lack of suitable irrigation systems, weeds, and plant monitoring concerns as a consequence of efficient management in distinct open and closed zones for crop and plant treatment. The objective of this work is to carry out a study on the use of artificial intelligence and computer vision methods for diagnosis of diseases in agro sectors in the context of agribusiness, demonstrating the feasibility of using these techniques as tools to support automation and obtain productivity gains in this sector. During the literary analysis, it was determined that technology could improve efficiency, hence decreasing these types of concerns. Given the consequences of a wrong diagnosis, diagnosis is work that requires a high level of precision. Fuzzy cognitive maps were shown to be the most efficient method of utilizing bibliographically reviewed preferences, which led to the consideration of neural networks as a second option because this technique is the most robust in terms of the qualifying criteria of the data stored in databases.

Published: January 2022

Intra-abdominal abscesses mostly derive from the intra-abdominal viscera. Campylobacter spp. are Gram-negative rods which are known to cause oral infections but rarely have been documented to cause extra-intestinal infections resulting in abscesses. We report an atypical case of Campylobacter rectus (C. rectus) and Peptostreptococcus spp. bacteria isolated from a perinephric abscess presenting as abdominal pain. Abscesses originating from outside the gastrointestinal tract have been reported in other similar case reports infecting the head, brain, and thoracic wall amongst others. The potential source and development of such a Campylobacter infection could be due to multiple hypotheses. This is a first case report of perinephric abscess development. Studies have suggested person-to-person (fecal-oral) transmission along with insects serving as primary reservoirs. Seeding of bacteria through infections in the oral cavity or through infections in the bowel microperforations has also been considered as plausible reasons. Since C. rectus has been isolated in such rare instances, it should be kept in mind when considering differential diagnosis of potential causative agents for extra-oral infections such as invasive abscess formations.

Authors: Yang Airong , Yu Guoxin
Published: January 2022

With the advent of the Internet Web 2.0 era, storage devices used to store website data are developing at an ever‐increasing high‐growth rate and a diversified trend. The focus on the structured data storage model has reduced the responsiveness of traditional relational databases to data changes. NoSQL database is scalable, has a powerful and flexible data model and a large amount of data, and has an increasing application potential in the memory field. Heterogeneous networks are composed of third‐party computers, network equipment, and systems. Network types are usually used for other protocols to support other functions and applications. The research on heterogeneous networks can be traced back to the BARWAN project that started in 1995 at the University of California, Berkeley. The project leader RHKatz merged multiple types of nested networks for the first time to form heterogeneous network requirements for various future terminal services. Construction engineering refers to an engineering entity formed by installing pipelines and equipment that support the construction of various houses and ancillary facilities. “House construction” refers to projects with roofs, beams, columns, walls, and foundations that can form internal spaces to meet people’s needs in production, living, learning, and public activities. Among them, the engineering evaluation index is a statistical index used to evaluate and compare the quality and effects of social and economic activities through the use of equipment, such as capital turnover rate and employee labor efficiency. It is the exchange of corporate performance evaluation content and the expression of corporate performance evaluation content.

Authors: Ismail N. , Hamzah S. H. , Wan Mokhtar I.
Published: January 2022

Cerebral palsy is a neurological and motor condition characterised by muscle balance and posture impairments. Bruxism and malocclusion were frequently observed in patients with cerebral palsy, in contrast to other oral anomalies. The report outlines how severe awake bruxism is managed in a 16-year-old Korean boy who has nonverbal spastic cerebral palsy and global developmental delay. The treatment protocol involved the fabrication of soft occlusal splints of three and four millimetres in thickness, followed by the placement of stainless-steel crowns on all first permanent molars whilst video recording and a bruxism diary was kept. Fixed restorations demonstrate increased endurance in withstanding bruxism force in persons who are dependent on their caretaker.
Research on the Optimization of Cross-Border Logistics Paths of the “Belt and Road” in the Inland Regions
Authors: Xie Feng-Jie , Feng Ruo-Chen , Zhou Xue-Yan
Published: January 2022

Taking logistics time, logistics cost, and carbon emissions as optimization objectives, air transportation is included in the cross-border logistics paths optimization of multimodal transportation. Considering the scale effect of transportation, a multiobjective optimization model of cross-border logistics paths including road, water, railway, and air is constructed. The problem of cross-border logistics paths along the “Belt and Road” regions for cities in inland is studied via the NSGA-II method. The research results show that Chengdu and Xi’an should bear a large number of cross-border air transportation and be constructed as the national airport-type logistics hub. The foreign destinations of cross-border air transportation are distributed in different regions, mainly in Eastern Europe and Eastern Central Europe. The optimization result shows that if there is a 1-fold increase in logistics cost, the logistics time can reduce by 1.37 folds after the cross-border air transportation joins in the model. Such a result has effectively guided the transition from cross-border water transportation to cross-border air transportation.
Remission of Suicidal Ideation in Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder with Flupenthixol
Authors: Chivers Daniel J. , Shaffiullah Mohammed
Published: January 2022

There are currently no licensed pharmacological treatments for Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder. This case report describes a 50-year-old male who two years previously had been brought to the attention of psychiatric services following an overdose with intention to end his life. He was subsequently diagnosed with Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD) and, following further suicide attempts and trials of mainstream pharmacological treatments, responded to flupenthixol IM 20 mg fortnightly, experiencing complete remission from his suicidal ideation. Clinicians should be aware of EUPD presenting in later life and should consider the role of typical antipsychotics, including flupenthixol, in the treatment of suicidal ideation in patients with EUPD. Age-specific guidance on EUPD management would be of use to clinicians, especially in the management of older patients, as current guidance is based on findings within a narrow age group.

It has six main species which are used as herbal remedies, such as Hyssopus officinalis which is used as a condiment and flavoring agent in food industry. The other five species are H. ambiguus, H. cuspidatus, H. latilabiatus, H. macranthus, and H. seravschanicus. Its species are used in the treatment of various ailments such as cold, cough, loss of appetite, fungal infection, and spasmodic condition. Its constituents especially essential oils are popularly used as an additive in beverages, foods, and cosmetics. The volatile constituents are used for aroma in the food industry, cosmetic industry, and household products. The important active constituents in its essential oils are β-pinene, pinocamphone, isopinocamphone, and other terpenoids. Hyssopus genus is also bundled with other secondary metabolites including flavonoids luteolin, quercetin, apigenin, and their glucosides, as well as phenolic compounds including ferulic, p-hydroxy-benzoic acid, protocatechuic acid, chlorogenic, and caffeic acid. Combinedly, the extracts of Hyssopus are reported to have potential antiviral and antifungal activities proven using in vitro studies, whereas in vivo investigations have reported the crucial role of Hyssopus extracts in plasma membrane relaxation, cytotoxic, and sedative effects. This plant is believed to be relatively safe at levels commonly used in foods; nevertheless, more studies are needed to determine the safety profile.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most lethal primary brain cancer characterized by therapeutic resistance, which is promoted by GBM stem cells (GSC). Here, we interrogated gene expression and whole-genome CRISPR/Cas9 screening in a large panel of patient-derived GSCs, differentiated GBM cells (DGC), and neural stem cells (NSC) to identify master regulators of GSC stemness, revealing an essential transcription state with increased RNA polymerase II–mediated transcription. The YY1 and transcriptional CDK9 complex was essential for GSC survival and maintenance in vitro and in vivo. YY1 interacted with CDK9 to regulate transcription elongation in GSCs. Genetic or pharmacologic targeting of the YY1–CDK9 complex elicited RNA m6A modification–dependent interferon responses, reduced regulatory T-cell infiltration, and augmented efficacy of immune checkpoint therapy in GBM. Collectively, these results suggest that YY1–CDK9 transcription elongation complex defines a targetable cell state with active transcription, suppressed interferon responses, and immunotherapy resistance in GBM.

Significance:

Effective strategies to rewire immunosuppressive microenvironment and enhance immunotherapy response are still lacking in GBM. YY1-driven transcriptional elongation machinery represents a druggable target to activate interferon response and enhance anti–PD-1 response through regulating the m6A modification program, linking epigenetic regulation to immunomodulatory function in GBM.

Neuroprotective Effect of HOTAIR Silencing on Isoflurane-Induced Cognitive Dysfunction via Sponging microRNA-129-5p and Inhibiting Neuroinflammation
Authors: Wang Ying , Zhao Shanshan , Li Guohua , Wang Dawei , Jin Yanwu
Published: January 2022

Introduction: This article purposed to detect the function of the HOTAIR and HOTAIR/microRNA-129-5p (miR-129-5p) axis on the isoflurane (ISO)-injured cells and rat, and propounded a novel perspective in exploring the molecular pathogenesis of ISO damage. Methods: The expression of HOTAIR and miR-129-5p was tested by quantitative real-time PCR. The viable cells were identified using MMT, and the apoptotic cells were provided by flow cytometry. The concentration of proinflammatory indicators was revealed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. The function of HOTAIR on oxidative stress was detected by commercial kits. A luciferase assay was performed to confirm the relationship between miR-129-5p and HOTAIR. The Morris water maze test was conducted to elucidate the cognition of SD rats. Results: The expression of HOTAIR was enhanced and the expression of miR-129-5p was lessened in the ISO-evoked SD rats and HT22 cells. The interference of HOTAIR reversed the injury of ISO on cell viability, apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Besides, HOTAIR might be a target ceRNA of miR-129-5p. MiR-129-5p abrogated the function of silenced HOTAIR on cell viability, cell apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Moreover, in vivo, the intervention of HOTAIR reversed the influence of ISO on cognition and oxidative stress by binding miR-129-5p. Discussion/Conclusion: Lowly expressed HOTAIR contributed to the recovery of the ISO-injured HT22 cell model from the abnormal viability, apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress by regulating miR-129-5p. miR-129-5p mediated the function of HOTAIR on cognition and oxidative balance in the ISO-managed SD rat model.

Authors: Bhagavathula Akshaya Srikanth , Tesfaye Wubshet , Vidyasagar Kota , Fialova Daniela
Published: January 2022

Background and Aim: Polypharmacy (concomitant use of 5–9 medicines) and hyperpolypharmacy (concomitant use of over 10 medicines) were observed to be more frequent in older adults (≥65 years) and associated with adverse outcomes. Their prevalence and risk in older patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) remain unknown. We aimed to synthesize the extant evidence on the prevalence and risk of polypharmacy and hyperpolypharmacy in older adults with PD. Methods: A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Embase databases to identify pertinent studies published from 2000 to July 2021. Observational studies reporting the prevalence and association with disease of polypharmacy/hyperpolypharmacy in older adults with PD were meta-analyzed. Pooled prevalence and odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Results: Out of the total 499 studies identified, 6 fulfilled the inclusion criteria and comprised 7,171 participants. The overall prevalence of polypharmacy and hyperpolypharmacy was 40% (95% CI: 37–44) and 18% (95% CI: 13–23), respectively. A meta-analysis of 4 studies indicated a significant association between polypharmacy (OR: 1.94, 95% CI: 1.26–2.62; p < 0.001) and PD. Hyperpolypharmacy was also strongly associated with PD (OR: 3.11, 95% CI: 2.08–4.14; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Polypharmacy (40%) and hyperpolypharmacy (18%) are highly prevalent and eventually increase the risk of drug-related problems in older adults with PD. Therefore, interventions that ensure rational geriatric pharmacotherapy are of critical importance for the older population with neurogenerative disorders.

The Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 has a significant impact on all countries' social and economic conditions, including Indonesia. It is fitting that social and economic changes also affect the transportation sector. The value of economic benefits in one public facility operation also depreciated due to the economic recession. One of the variables that can be reviewed is the time value of public passenger transportation users (AUP) to measure how much depreciation has occurred. This study specifically for travel is learning, using the bus mode Batik Solo Trans (BST) Corridor 4. Development of scenarios for questionnaires with stated preference methods, using the choice mode between motorbikes and AUP as an option, and the mode utility is approached with the equation multiple linear regression. The results of the analysis show that the time value of the user in the fleet is IDR 274.67 / hour for a distance of 8.35 km and the Time Value for a distance of 13.0 km = IDR 240.82 / hour with a Value of Activity (VoA) which is close to zero because the activity in the fleet has no financial value. This time value is considerably smaller than the AUP time value with the same intention of trip, studying, which was analyzed in 2015, which was IDR 4,708 / hour.

Authors: Agbo David O. , Ukazu Irene U. , Igwue Gabriel A.
Published: January 2022

The solar powered DC drive for a rickshaw is an automobile that uses solar energy to drive a DC motor, which in turn move a rickshaw. Due to the challenge of global warming, it has become necessary to make use of power sources that are environmentally friendly or renewable energy. Solar energy is used as the energy source in this design because it is cheap, clean and readily available during the day. This paper employed the use of solar PV which converts the solar energy into electrical energy. The electrical energy generated by the solar PV comes in the rated value of 12 V or 24 V which increases or decreases beyond this rated values depending on the sun intensity. To make use of the varying solar PV voltage, there is need to either buck (stepdown) or boost (step up) or buck-boost (stepdown-step up) the PV voltage to a constant voltage value. Since 12 V DC drive is used, it is required to step up or step down from the voltage range of 10 V to 25 V to 12 V via a buck-boost converter to power the 12 V DC drive. The DC motor control was implemented by embedding the functions of vehicle control in the system. The functions are; run, stop or break, left and right. This function makes the DC drive to control the rickshaw as vehicle. The results shows that rickshaw can be control and driven as a vehicle using solar energy.

Authors: Tagle Arturo
Published: January 2022

Ethnocentrism is the belief that one’s own culture is centrally important and is superior to other cultures, and influences how people would communicate with others from different cultural backgrounds in a multicultural society. This study describes the perceptions of criminology faculty and students towards reducing ethnocentrism through multiculturalism and social learning. This quantitative descriptive research determined the perceptions of 50 purposively selected faculty member and 125 criminology students from selected universities in Metro Manila towards reducing ethnocentrism through multiculturalism and social learning. The researcher-developed questionnaire was administered online using Google Form. Data privacy and confidentiality were considered during the conduct of the entire study. Data were analysed using frequency and percentage distribution, mean, and rank. The majority of the respondents belong to the age group of 20 and younger.  The respondents were dominated by males, and were singles. The majority of student respondents were in the first year.  The majority of faculty respondents have master’s degree and 1- 10 years of teaching experience, and were regular/permanent employees.  In terms of monthly gross income, 25 or 50% of faculty respondents earn P 30,000- 39,999.00. The majority of the faculty and criminology students believed that ethnocentrism can be reduced through multiculturalism and social learning, such that, social learning can be activated through self-awareness to tolerating differences to appreciating the benefits of differences. As gleaned from the study, ethnocentrism can be reduced by modeling an open-minded and accepting organizational climate amidst cultural diversity and complimenting social learning in developing social intelligence, promoting mutual respect, and active listening that leads to intercultural collaboration in this culturally diverse police force and societies.

The Covid-19 pandemic that has hit various parts of the world, including Indonesia, has had an impact on society. One of the layers of society that has experienced this impact is students. With the large-scale social restrictions, Indonesian students do a lot of activities at home. Many students become concerned with themselves, but there are also students who feel bored because of low social interaction which in turn causes high food consumption and sedentary behaviour at home. The objective of this study to determine changes in body weight, food consumption and lifestyle in Indonesian students. The design of this study was cross sectional, with descriptive analysis conducted on 1185 students in Indonesia. The results of the study stated that the pandemic had an impact on Indonesian students. During the pandemic as many as 67.1% of students experienced changes in the size of their BB. Most of the students experienced moderate stress (77.1%), and bad sedentary behaviour by 63.4%. However, diet and exercise habits have changed for the better as much as 52.6% and 63.7%, respectively. Indonesian students need to pay more attention to changes in body weight and lifestyle during the pandemic so as not to have a negative impact on health and nutritional status.

Published: January 2022

The principles of Human Rights are the goals of Islamic shari'a or maqashid al-shari'ah (the philosophy of Islamic law) which has been formulated by al-Ghazali and perfected by as-Syatibi. These principles are summarized in al-dlaruriyah al-khamsah or also called al-huquq al-insaniyah fi al-Islam (human rights in Islam). This concept consists of five basic principles that must be maintained and respected by every individual; Hifzhu al-Din (respect for religious freedom), Hifzhu al-Mal (respect for property), Hifzhu al-Nafs wa al-'Irdl (respect for life, right to life and individual honor), Hifzhu al-'Aql (respect for freedom of thought), and Hifzhu al-Nasl (respect for keeping offspring).This research is examined using a juridical-normative and socio-legal and historical approach. The principles of human rights in the Medina Charter consist of: the principles of justice, equality, freedom of religion, piety, and commanding good and evil. Iimplementation of human rights values ​​in The Medina Charter in Indonesia, the author summarizes it into three areas of life; religion, nation and state consisting of:the field of religious harmony, the field of law and constitution enforcement and the field of socio-political life and the development of the political system. Among the authors' findings, the Medina Charter contains ideas that have strong relevance to the developments and desires of today's world community, especially for Indonesia. The ideas in the Medina Constitution were also absorbed by the founding figures of the Indonesian nation, which can be seen in the Jakarta Charter which later gave birth to Pancasila. The contents of the Medina Charter and Pancasila have in common as a sentence of sawa'  (meeting point) diversity or a noble agreement that is constructive, loves, and defends Indonesia, as well as the Medina Charter.

Published: January 2022

In the past, defense in warfare was carried out conventionally by using weapons. Now the defense system has shifted to modern types of warfare, either through culture, diplomacy, technology, and ideology. Kogabwilhan as a unit directly under the President’s command. The TNI’s Kogabwilhan is a representation of the concept of TNI's interoperability capability which is currently a priority policy for TNI Commanders. Kogabwilhan was established as an effort of the TNI to carry out the strengthening of resilience and deterrence against various potential threats, both from outside and within the country. The presence of the Kogabwilhan is a form of TNI's preparedness in handling the crisis. The development of defense areas is directed at maintaining the natural potential and social conditions that exist in the territory of Indonesia. Kogabwilhan is here to coordinate with various parties to maintain all aspects, both disaster mitigation, regional development, welfare, and regional defense. The government determined the domicile of MaKogabwilhan II in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan Province. The determination must have taken into account some aspects of the current command, control, strategy, and infrastructure. Thus, the formation of the Kogabwilhan has a strategic role in maintaining the sovereignty of the Indonesian state. The formation of the Kogabwilhan was carried out as one of the steps taken by the TNI to strengthen Its deterrence against various potential threats from outside and within the country. However, there are three things that have an impact on the resilience of the defense area as a result of the formation of Kogabwilhan II in Balikpapan. First, the military managerial role. The improvement of military managerial capabilities must be based on good planning, organization, implementation arrangements, and supervision, so that they can be controlled optimally. Second, the role of legal policy. Kogabwilhan must be able to enforce the law, both on land, sea, and air. Third, the role of diplomacy. The establishment of Kogabwilhan could reduce existing conflicts, so diplomacy skills are very important to have. Therefore, the development of defense and security in strategic areas is currently increasingly complex and escalating in various parts of the world.

To compete with the world in the 21st century, it is necessary to adopt modern learning strategies like inquiry-based, project-based, problem-based. The traditional learning strategies are no viable now to improve the learning skills of the learners. A review of previous studies on traditional lecture-based and project-based learning strategies has been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of both learning strategies. The learning outcomes and statistical results of 15 previously published articles have been selected for this review study. The learning outcomes and statistical results of previous literature indicated that all the studies showed significant improvement in the learning and cognitive skills of the learners. The effectiveness of project-based teaching strategy in various educational levels are also described in the study.
A linguagem em hobbes: 1656, 1651 e 1650
Authors: Santos Mariana Dias Pinheiro
Published: January 2022

O objetivo deste trabalho consiste em apresentar algumas mudanças promovidas por Hobbes entre Elementos da Lei e as edições inglesas de Leviatã e De Corpore no que diz respeito à sua teoria da linguagem. Sustenta-se que não é possível conceber uma unidade entre todas as obras supracitadas e que De Corpore contém a versão final da teoria da linguagem hobbesiana; e sugere-se que as alterações promovidas se devem, ao menos em parte, às críticas que Descartes promove nas respostas às Terceiras Objeções e à adoção, a partir de 1651, da geometria, enquanto método, na teoria da linguagem.
Comentário de René Descartes sobre um certo panfleto publicado na Bélgica no fim do ano de 1647 com o seguinte título: explicação da mente humana ou da alma racional, onde explica-se o que é e o que pode ser
Authors: Teixeira William de Jesus
Published: January 2022

Henricus Regius ou Henri LeRoy, outrora amigo e divulgador da filosofia de Descartes, agora escrevendo como adversário de seu antigo mestre, publica em Utrecht um panfleto anônimo sobre a natureza da mente humana. No intuito de evitar que as teses apresentadas por seu ex-discípulo fossem tomadas como suas, Descartes decide, então, refutar as opiniões defendidas no panfleto de Regius. É precisamente o texto produzido por Descartes nessa ocasião que é traduzido a seguir. Esse texto, aparentemente impresso sem o consentimento de seu autor em dezembro de 1647, marca o ponto final da relação entre o filósofo francês e o professor de medicina. O texto latino aqui traduzido foi extraído da edição realizada por Charles Adam e Paul Tannery das Oeuvres complètes de Descartes, Paris, Vrin, tomo VIII, pp. 341-369.
Ismael e Isaque irmanados: os judeus nos romances de Milton Hatoum
Authors: Silva Alessandra F. Conde da
Published: January 2022

Judeus e árabes na Amazônia vivem pacificamente? Em três romances de Milton Hatoum, Relato de um certo Oriente (1989), Dois irmãos (2000), Órfãos do Eldorado (2008), personagens judeus e árabes convivem harmoniosamente, sem dar sinais de conflitos e querelas, cuja incidência remonta aos tempos bíblicos. Nesse sentido, metaforicamente, Ismael e Isaque vivem bem, festejando a sua estrangeiridade na acolhedora e quente Manaus. Ainda que não sejam protagonistas nos romances, a presença dos judeus marroquinos é contígua à história imigratória dos personagens sírio-libaneses, desbravadores, assim como os judeus, dos rios e da floresta amazônica. Este artigo estuda a presença judaica e árabe na obra de Milton Hatoum a partir das reflexões de Samuel Benchimol, Regina Igel, Márcio Souza.
Os clássicos nas Noites: estudo comparativo entre Penélope e Šahrāzād
Authors: Monteiro Letícia Gabriela de Castro
Published: January 2022

Ainda que a repercussão da cultura grega do Livro das Mil e Uma Noites não receba tanta atenção como a indiana ou bíblica, é fato que ela existe e pode ser verificada no decorrer da obra. Dentre estas contribuições, encontram-se poemas clássicos tais como a Ilíada e a Odisseia de Homero. Assim, esta pesquisa se propõe a discutir semelhanças entre a personagens Penélope e Šahrāzād. Desta maneira, tenta-se descobrir quais significados surgem em decorrência da presença de Penélope em Šahrāzād, a partir das noções de intertextualidade por Fowler (1997), de modo a compreender os impactos culturais deixados por Homero no Islã medieval. Da mesma forma, pretende-se verificar como as personagens citadas colaboram para a visão da sexualidade feminina na Antiguidade e na Idade Média.
Óbitos e internações decorrentes de intoxicações por medicamentos com prescrição e isentos de prescrição, no Brasil
Authors: Duarte Fernanda Gross , Paula Marcelo Neubauer de , Vianna Nelzair Araújo , Almeida Maria Conceição Chagas de , Junior Edson Duarte Moreira
Published: January 2022

OBJETIVO: Estimar a incidência de hospitalizações por intoxicação medicamentosa e a mortalidade desses agravos no Brasil, descrevendo as tendências de 2009 a 2018. MÉTODOS: Os dados de internações hospitalares e óbitos originam-se do DATASUS e os dados demográficos, do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). Foram selecionadas as internações hospitalares cuja Autorização para Internação Hospitalar (AIH) indicasse como procedimento “tratamento de intoxicação ou envenenamento por exposição a medicamento e substâncias de uso não medicamentoso”, sendo analisados apenas os casos de hospitalização por intoxicação medicamentosa. A incidência de hospitalização e a mortalidade foram calculadas separadamente para intoxicações causadas por medicamentos com prescrição (MRx) e isentos de prescrição (MIP). As taxas foram ainda estratificadas por sexo, faixa etária e região de residência no Brasil. A análise de tendência foi realizada por regressão linear generalizada pelo método de Prais-Winsten. RESULTADOS: A maioria das internações foi causada por MRx (97%), com mortalidade aproximadamente 50 vezes maior, quando comparada às internações por MIP. A tendência da incidência das internações por MRx foi estacionária, mas a mortalidade aumentou durante o período estudado, enquanto a tendência na mortalidade e na incidência de internações por MIP foi decrescente. CONCLUSÕES: As internações por intoxicação medicamentosa, sobretudo aquelas causadas por MRx, têm grande impacto e importância na saúde pública, especialmente porque esses agravos podem ser prevenidos.

Background

The use of large‐bore (LB) arterial access and guiding catheters has been advocated for complex percutaneous coronary intervention. However, the impact of LB transradial access (TRA) and transfemoral access (TFA) on extremity dysfunction is currently unknown.

Methods and Results

The predefined substudy of the COLOR (Complex Large‐Bore Radial PCI) trial aimed to assess upper and lower‐extremity dysfunction after LB radial and femoral access. Upper‐extremity function was assessed in LB TRA‐treated patients by the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire and lower‐extremity function in LB TFA‐treated patients by the Lower Extremity Functional Scale questionnaire. Extremity pain and effect of access site complications and risk factors on extremity dysfunction was also analyzed. There were 343 patients who completed analyzable questionnaires. Overall, upper and lower‐extremity function did not decrease over time when LB TRA and TFA were used for complex percutaneous coronary intervention, as represented by the median Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score (6.8 at baseline and 2.1 at follow‐up, higher is worse) and Lower Extremity Functional Scale score (56 at baseline and 58 at follow‐up, lower is worse). Clinically relevant extremity dysfunction occurred in 6% after TRA and 9% after TFA. A trend for more pronounced upper‐limb dysfunction was present in female patients after LB TRA (
P
=0.05). Lower‐extremity pain at discharge was significantly higher in patients with femoral access site complications (
P
=0.02).

Conclusions

Following LB TRA and TFA, self‐reported upper and lower‐limb function did not decrease over time in the majority of patients. Clinically relevant limb dysfunction occurs in a small minority of patients regardless of radial or femoral access.

Back to Nature-Based Agriculture: Green Livelihoods Are Taking Root in the Mekong River Delta
Authors: Lan Ngo Thi Phuong , Van Kien Nguyen
Published: January 2022

Background and objective Vietnam is prioritizing agricultural production for food export capacity in all national policies. As a result, for three decades, its agriculture has been making quite many remarkable achievements. Methods The most successful one is that the nation has become one of the world’s leading rice exporters and ensures its national food security. Through these endeavors, the Mekong River Delta (MRD), in particular, has emerged as a key region in ensuring national food security and rice export. Results The new era can now see Vietnamese agriculture turning to place special emphasis on commodity quality and the improvement of the living environment. This is evidenced, for example, by the phenomenon that the MRD, as a rice basket of the whole country, is making moves back to nature-based agriculture with attempts to restore the natural ecology, including preserving and restoring local traditional rice seeds, adopting natural farming practices and minimizing the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Conclusion The case studies of nature-based farming practices in the MRD indicate that, while the national agriculture is generally developing large-scale production, the small-scale farming in the region, integrated with tourist and educational activities on-site, is meeting the demands of a highly potential domestic niche market. Moreover, this model appears to be a sustainable farming approach that defines itself as a working green livelihood for the region.
Archetype, Psyche, World
Authors: Mills Jon
Published: January 2022

In our dialogues over the nature of archetypes, essence, psyche, and world, I further respond to Erik Goodwyn’s recent foray into establishing an ontological position that not only answers to the mind-body problem, but further locates the source of Psyche on a cosmic plane. His impressive attempt to launch a neo-Jungian metaphysics is based on the principle of cosmic panpsychism that bridges both the internal parameters of archetypal process and their emergence in consciousness and the external world conditioned by a psychic universe. Here I explore the ontology of experience, mind, matter, metaphysical realism, and critique Goodwyn’s turn to Neoplatonism. The result is a potentially compatible theory of mind and reality that grounds archetypal theory in onto-phenomenology, metaphysics, and bioscience, hence facilitating new directions in analytical psychology.
