INCOMPATIBILIDADE ENTRE A FUNÇÃO SOCIAL DA PROPRIEDADE E A VEDAÇÃO CONSTITUCIONAL DE USUCAPIR BENS DOMINICAIS E SUA VIOLAÇÃO AO DIREITO DE MORADIA
Authors: Munhoz Fernando Martins da Conceição
Published: February 2025

O artigo trata do tema do Direito à Moradia sendo violado pela incompatibilidade entre a função social da propriedade e a vedação constitucional de usucapir bens públicos dominicais. A função social da propriedade é o ônus que o proprietário tem, já que o direito de ser proprietário vem com a obrigação de dar a essa propriedade um fim social. Todavia, a propriedade particular e a propriedade pública são distintas no tratamento desta finalidade, pois as consequências para o descumprimento da função social da propriedade são distintas para ambas. O artigo explica que as propriedades públicas não são passíveis de ser usucapidas, por vedação constitucional, mas que na prática, essa vedação fere os direitos e garantias individuais dos indivíduos expulsos da propriedade do Estado. Mas a questão vai além, sendo que o Estado resolve utilizar essa sociedade, desocupando esses indivíduos desta propriedade, sem sequer ter a preocupação de onde eles irão dormir e qual será o futuro deles. O artigo mostra a comparação entre a função social da propriedade e da vedação constitucional, para que esse debate nos tribunais seja solucionado, por meio do princípio da ponderação, sempre em prol do ser humano.

Authors: Xu Chen-Chen , Zhao Wen-Xuan , Sheng Yu , Yun Ya-Jun , Ma Ting , Fan Ning , Song Jia-Qi , Wang Jun , Zhang Qi
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Cognitive impairment is one of the common clinical manifestations of depression, causing negative distress to patients. Elevated homocysteine (Hcy) concentrations and gut microbiome dysfunction may be observed in patients with depression.

AIM

To investigate the relationship between Hcy, microbiome, and cognition in depressive patients.

METHODS

We recruited 67 patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) (MDD group) and 94 healthy controls (HCs) individuals (HCs group). Serum Hcy levels were determined using the enzyme circulation method. 16s rRNA sequencing was used to classify and identify the fecal bacteria. 17 Hamilton depression rating scale and MATRICS consensus cognitive battery were used to evaluate mood states and cognition in patients with MDD. Correlation analysis was performed to explore the correlation between fecal flora, Hcy, and depressive cognitive function.

RESULTS

Elevated serum levels of Hcy were seen in patients with MDD compared to healthy individuals. Patients with MDD indicated significant decreases in cognitive scores (P < 0.001) in six modules: Speed of processing, working memory, visual learning, reasoning and problem-solving, social cognition, and total scores. Hcy levels showed a negative correlation with processing speed, social cognition, and total MDD scores (P < 0.05). Hcy was also significantly negatively correlated with Alistipes , Ruminococcae , Tenericides , and Porphyromonas (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Our results highlight that Hcy was correlated with cognition and gut microbiome in MDD. This interaction may be related to the physiological and pathological mechanisms underlying cognitive deficits in depression.

Published: February 2025

Depression is a prevalent mental disorder that affects numerous individuals, manifesting as persistent anhedonia, sadness, and hopelessness. Despite extensive research, the exact causes and optimal treatment approaches for depression remain unclear. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which carry biological molecules such as proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and metabolites, have emerged as crucial players in both pathological and physiological processes. EVs derived from various sources exert distinct effects on depression. Specifically, EVs released by neurons, astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes, immune cells, stem cells, and even bacteria contribute to the pathogenesis of depression. Moreover, there is growing interest in potential of EVs as diagnostic and therapeutic tools for depression. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent research on EVs from different sources, their roles in depression, and their potential clinical applications.

Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Depression and anxiety are prevalent psychological challenges among patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), affecting individuals across both sex and age groups.

AIM

To explore the network structure of depression and anxiety symptoms, with a focus on identifying differences at the symptom level between sex and age subgroups.

METHODS

A total of 1955 participants diagnosed with AIS aged 10-18 years were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale (PHO-9) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), and 765 patients exhibiting PHQ-9 or GAD-7 scores ≥ 5 were enrolled in our study. Network analysis and network comparison tests were utilized to construct and compare the depression-anxiety symptoms networks among sex and age subgroups.

RESULTS

The results revealed GAD3 “Excessive worry” and PHQ2 “Sad mood” were the most significant central symptoms in all subgroups, while “Sad mood” had higher strength than “Excessive worry” in the lower age group. In the network comparisons, the female network exhibited tighter connectivity, especially on GAD6 “Irritability” and GAD2 “Uncontrollable worry”, while only PHQ3 “Sleep” and PHQ9 “Suicidal ideation” had differences at the local level in the lower age group.

CONCLUSION

Several interventions targeting excessive worry and sad mood could reduce the risk of depression and anxiety symptoms in the AIS population. Furthermore, specific anxiety symptoms in females, along with sleep disturbances and suicidal ideation in the lower age group, should be addressed at an early stage to prevent significant disruptions in mental health trajectories.
Narrative nursing as a holistic approach in modern healthcare: Integrating emotional and physical care
Authors: Yıldız Güzel Nur , Çiftçi Bahar
Published: February 2025

Narrative nursing (NN) is emerging as a critical approach in modern healthcare, addressing the complex interplay between psychological well-being and physical recovery. This manuscript discusses a study on NN and its role in alleviating psychological distress in patients with acute pancreatitis, published in the World Journal of Psychiatry . Their research demonstrates that NN, through structured storytelling, significantly reduces anxiety and depression, thereby enhancing patient satisfaction and fostering emotional resilience. This therapeutic approach extends beyond symptom management, offering a comprehensive strategy that supports the mental and emotional recovery of patients facing severe health challenges. NN provides a unique framework for engaging patients in their care journey, promoting a sense of agency, and strengthening the patient-provider relationship. In this manuscript, we explore the broader implications of NN by synthesizing findings from various studies, showing that NN is effective not only in acute settings but also in oncology, chronic illness management, and palliative care. The evidence indicates that integrating NN into standard clinical practice could enhance healthcare outcomes by addressing the holistic needs of patients, supporting psychological resilience, and fostering a compassionate healthcare environment.
Understanding patients’ emotional needs to strengthen therapeutic relationships: A deep insight into narrative nursing
Authors: Pan Wen-Jue , Wang Shu-Fen
Published: February 2025

Narrative nursing has emerged as a vital approach in patient-centered care, and emphasize the importance of understanding patients’ emotional experiences in addition to their physical health needs. In this article, we comment on the article by Zhou et al . Diseases such as acute pancreatitis can cause significant suffering and severely impact patients’ quality of life. During treatment, routine nursing procedures such as gastric tube placement, oxygen therapy, monitoring, and nasogastric feeding often lack effective communication, which can adversely affect patients’ recovery. This article highlights how narrative nursing can provide deeper insights into patients’ emotional experiences, ultimately resulting in improved care outcomes. We also emphasize the role of narrative nursing in understanding and addressing these emotional needs to achieve personalized care, which can strengthen the therapeutic relationship between healthcare providers and patients. By recognizing the critical role of emotional well-being in patient care, we can develop comprehensive strategies that facilitate recovery and enhance overall quality of life.

Authors: Sarac Elif , Odabas Deniz
Published: February 2025

Economic violence is a form of domestic violence that extends beyond physical harm, affecting victims’ economic stability and independence. This situation perpetuates gender inequality and also reinforces the cycle of gender-based violence. With definitions of economic violence broadening to encompass a range of coercive and manipulative behaviors - from financial abuse in domestic violence scenarios to the economic harassment faced by stay-at-home moms - understanding this form of exploitation is crucial for crafting effective interventions. This article aims to delve into various facets of economic violence, including its definition, prevalence, and the stark realities it creates for its victims. Following the search of international databases: Social Work Abstracts (EBSCO), Psychology Abstracts, Family and Women Studies Worldwide, Psychiatry Online, Psych INFO (including Psych ARTICLES), PubMed, Wiley, and Scopus, 60 peer-reviewed articles that met all inclusion criteria were included in the paper. Our review clarifies that looking forward, the call for a comprehensive understanding of economic violence, enhanced legal frameworks, and the strengthening of supportive networks underscore the multidisciplinary approach required to combat this issue effectively.

Published: February 2025

Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) presents as a complex interplay between physical and mental fatigue, with mindfulness interventions offering a promising approach to alleviate both. These techniques, including mindfulness-based stress reduction, cognitive therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy, are designed to break the cycle of CRF by addressing its psychological and emotional aspects. This editorial integrates the latest research published by Liu et al , examining the reciprocal and harmful cyclical relationship between physical and mental CRF, and explores the causes and associated mindfulness interventions. We expect that future research will emphasize the identification and management of CRF, particularly focusing on the application of various mindfulness interventions in cancer survivors and patients undergoing cancer treatment, as well as the development of mindfulness in the era of new technologies.
Correlation of inflammatory markers with depression and sleep disorders accompanying the prodromal stage of Parkinson’s disease
Authors: Zhang Cheng-Guang , Zhang Yu , Xu Ke , Wang Shun , Bai Yan
Published: February 2025

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder with increasing incidence and disability rates globally, placing a heavy burden on patients and their families. In the prodromal phase of PD, nonmotor symptoms, particularly depression and sleep disorders, are frequent, with profound effects on disease progression and patient quality of life. Emerging research highlights the critical role of inflammatory markers-including interleukins and tumor necrosis factor-in the pathogenesis of prodromal PD. These inflammatory mediators participate in neurodegenerative processes and may induce or exacerbate depressive symptoms and sleep disorders by disrupting the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and affecting neurotransmitter, including serotonin, metabolism. Understanding their correlations with nonmotor symptoms in prodromal PD remains incomplete, limiting our ability to develop targeted interventions. This comprehensive review aims to investigate the specific correlations between inflammatory markers and nonmotor symptoms-particularly depression and sleep disorders-in prodromal PD. The findings could have important practical applications, potentially leading to the development of new diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies for managing PD. By identifying and understanding these correlations, healthcare providers may better predict disease progression and implement more effective treatments for nonmotor symptoms in PD.
Production of Lactic Acid from Yam Wastes
Authors:   Chemical/Petrochemical Engineering, Rivers State University, Aseibichin Cyrus
Published: February 2025

The rising demand for lactic acid, a versatile chemical compound with numerous applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, has prompted the search for alternative feedstocks. Because of their abundance, sustainability, and low cost, food wastes have emerged as a potential source of lactic acid. The recent trend in usage of lactic acid is in the production of Poly Lactic Acid (PLA). PLA could be potential replacement for fossil fuel based plastics, but its production cost should be reduced to half of its current price in order to achieve that (Lopes MS et al. 2012 and Abdel-Rahman et al. 2013). If this is made possible, the demand of lactic acid would rise even higher. The complex structure of food wastes makes it difficult to break them down and access the sugars for fermentation, which is one of the main challenges. To overcome this challenge, pretreatment methods such as dilute acid and steam explosion have been used, but their effectiveness is still limited and there is room for improvement

Authors:   SGRR Public School, Sahastradhara Road, Dehradun, Dhalla Dr Devinder
Published: February 2025

This research paper aims to further investigate the relationship between generation gaps and personality profiles, building on earlier exploratory work by Dr. Devinder Dhalla (Dhalla & Dhalla, 2022). Employing a mixed-methods design, the study surveyed 600 participants from three generational cohorts—Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z—and conducted in-depth interviews with 40 selected respondents. Quantitative measures were gathered using standardized personality inventories and generation-related attitude scales, while qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal significant differences in personality traits across generations, with particular emphasis on openness, conscientiousness, and risk perception. These results both confirm and extend earlier findings, suggesting that generational experiences significantly shape personality profiles. The paper discusses the implications for educational practices, workplace management, and intergenerational communication, and proposes avenues for future research. This paper extends earlier research by Dr. Devinder Dhalla by incorporating a broader generational perspective and employing both quantitative and qualitative methodologies to offer a deeper understanding of how generation-specific experiences shape personality profiles.

The research purpose is to substantiate the implementation of preventive, including pharmacological measures against hepatosis (hepatopathy) of sows to increase their performance rate. Within the conditions of a pig breeding complex, the study of indicators characterizing the offspring of sows after farrowing was carried out. The group of animals was formed containing pregnant sows (90 days of pregnancy) with a different number of farrowings (from one to four or more).The indicators of a piglet growth during the milking period of a sow after lactation were studied (the group was formed on the third day after a piglet weaning). The number of farrowings also ranged from one to four and more. During the formation of animal groups, conditionally healthy sows and those infected with hepatosis were devided. The diagnosis of hepatosis (hepatodystrophy) or its absence was confirmed by the results of biochem-ical blood tests. After culling and slaughter, data from pathomorphological and pathohistological studies were used to confirm the diagnosis. It has been established that the number of physiologically immature and stillborn piglets in-creases born by sows diagnosed with hepatosis, and their live weight of offspring decreases. With the development of hepatosis of sows during the milking period, a decrease of piglet livability for weaning, their live weight and aver-age daily increment was established. A comparative assessment was carried out in relation to the indicators of rela-tive healthy sows. Among sows with hepatitis, a greater number of postpartum complications and cases of culling after weaning were found. During post-slaughter autopsy of sows with a hepatosis confirmed biochemically of liver, dystrophic changes (granular, fatty, vacuole change) were detected. A conclusion was made about the negative im-pact of sow hepatosis on their reproduction and a piglet growth during the milking period.
BARRIERS ON THE WAY OF DIGITALIZATION OF THE AFRICAN CONTINENT
Authors: Prihod'ko Dmitriy
Published: February 2025

The article conducts a study on barriers to digitalization of African countries. The results of the study are in many ways a continuation of other works by the author, including those published jointly with other scientists. Digitalization has become one of the key processes taking place on the African continent today, despite all the traditional socio-economic and political problems of this region. Moreover, multiple studies show that digitalization has become a significant factor in economic growth and development of African countries. Therefore, understanding the barriers that impede the dynamic and sustainable development of digital processes seems important. This is the basis for the purpose of the study, according to which the main attention is focused on the factors hindering the digitalization of Africa.
The main results note that significant barriers to digitalization of the African continent include the high cost of access and connection to the Internet, poorly developed digital skills of the local population, as well as problems of ensuring cybersecurity. The study explains that the high cost of Internet services is due to the insufficient development of the Internet infrastructure. Therefore, even the entry of the American company Starlink into the African market has not yet changed the situation significantly. Weak digital skills stem from the overall low literacy level of the African population, which has been noted in many works by both domestic and foreign authors. Finally, cybersecurity issues are largely the result of both weak digital skills and a lack of attention to digital products that can protect African Internet users’ data.

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) is one of the main crops widely grown around the world and can affect various aspects of the ecosystem. One of the efforts to increase soybean production and prevent flower loss is the use of plant growth regulators (PGRs). The purpose of this research is to reduce flower loss and increase production yields in the Anjasmoro cultivar of soybean plants. This study aims to: (1) determine the significant influence of gibberellin (GA3) concentration on flower shedding, the number of pods per plant, the dry pod weight (per plant (g) and per plot (g), and the dry seed weight (pt)) of soybean. The study was carried out at Beberan Village, Palimanan District, Cirebon Regency, Indonesia. The research used Randomized Group Design (RGD) with one treatment factor and 4 replications. The results showed that the concentration of gibbelliin (GA3) significantly influenced flower loss (p0.05) and yield (p>0.05). The application of 100 ppm (N2) of GA3 can produce the highest dry weight of 901.25 g/plot or 2,815.625 kg/ha and is significantly different from other treatments. In addition, the study identified the optimal concentration that minimizes flower loss while maximizing production yield under non-stress conditions, contributing valuable insights to enhance agricultural practices aimed at improving soybean productivity in Indonesia.

Published: February 2025

Throughout the centuries, societies have developed various approaches to deal with diseases, utilizing knowledge from nature, religious practices, and even magic. The aim of this study is to analyze the cultural conceptions of the art of healing in Minas Gerais, Brazil in the year 1743, focusing on the use of “magic” and “magical items” in the treatment of ailments. The research is based on the analysis of the medical treatise Erário Mineral, written in 1735 by the Portuguese surgeon Luís Gomes Ferreira. This study discusses some of the healing methods used in Minas Gerais and the relationship between popular and scholarly medical knowledge, as well as the close connection between medicine and magic. The paper also explores the syncretism of the people of Minas Gerais in the 17th century, as well as the understanding of illness as a supernatural force.

Relataram-se 81 casos de zoonoses cutâneas e mucocutâneas, entre dermatofitose, dermatofilose e rinosporidiose, durante o período de janeiro de 2000 a julho de 2024, no sul do Rio Grande do Sul, a fim de manter a vigilância sobre essas doenças em bovinos e equinos. Os dados foram obtidos dos prontuários do Laboratório Regional de Diagnóstico da Universidade Federal de Pelotas (LRD/UFPEL). Foram coletados dados epidemiólogicos quanto à espécie, raça, faixa etária, sexo, sítio anatômico afetado, achados macroscópicos e microscópicos. Além disso, também foram incluídas as estações do ano. Com a análise desses casos, percebeu-se que muitas das informações condiziam com as literaturas precedentes, apesar de haver ocorrências divergentes, como estações do ano, predisposições racial, sexual e etária. Em equinos, a dermatofilose afetou majoritariamente os animais sem raça definida, enquanto a dermatofitose ocorreu exclusivamente em animais de raça. Nos bovinos, a dermatofilose predominou em raças europeias e teve maior ocorrência em fêmeas e animais jovens, apresentando lesões exsudativas, alopecia e crostas. A rinosporidiose foi observada em equinos principalmente nas narinas e epiglote, enquanto nos bovinos foi relatada em um único animal. Os resultados obtidos foram essenciais para realizar esse estudo retrospectivo e prospectivo de zoonoses cutâneas e mucocutâneas em bovinos e equinos.

Introdução: O Rio de Janeiro no começo do Século XX experimentava uma crise sanitária que demandou a criação de uma nova organização da Saúde Pública Brasileira. Objetivos: descrever as estratégias de educação sanitária para combater as doenças venéreas durante a reforma sanitária e analisar o contexto no qual o ensino de enfermagem de saúde pública foi implantado. Método: pesquisa documental, cujas fontes principais foram jornais circulantes entre 1920 e 1924. Resultados: O Departamento Nacional de Saúde Pública (DNSP) impulsionou o combate às doenças venéreas pela educação sanitária por meio de diálogos científicos, conferências de saúde pública e palestras de educação em saúde voltados ao público masculino. Conclusões: A reforma sanitária abriu espaço para a enfermagem de saúde pública ao criar um serviço e uma escola de enfermeiras do DNSP, contudo, a exclusão de mulheres da discussão sobre sexualidade e transmissão de doenças venéreas fez valer os estigmas de gênero a serem enfrentados pelas primeiras enfermeiras de saúde pública formadas no país.

Este artigo investiga os sentidos e significados atribuídos por alunos surdos oralizados ao aprendizado da leitura e escrita da língua portuguesa. A pesquisa analisa como a ausência da Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras) no repertório desses estudantes influencia sua produção textual e quais desafios emergem desse processo. A revisão da literatura aponta que a escrita dos surdos oralizados apresenta particularidades decorrentes da oralidade, como o uso frequente de marcadores discursivos, repetições e paráfrases, o que impacta a coesão textual. Além disso, estudos indicam que a estrutura prosódica e entoacional da oralidade dos surdos oralizados pode influenciar sua construção sintática e uso de pontuação na escrita. A identidade dos surdos oralizados e sua relação com a cultura ouvinte também são aspectos relevantes, evidenciando a necessidade de abordagens pedagógicas específicas para esse grupo. O artigo destaca a escassez de pesquisas sobre o tema e aponta a importância de estratégias educacionais que respeitem as particularidades linguísticas dos surdos oralizados, promovendo um ensino mais inclusivo e significativo da língua portuguesa escrita.
