Published: July 2024

A economia data-driven domina os mercados globais e se consolida como modelo sucesso, representando por gigantes da tecnologia que estão entre as empresas mais valiosas do mundo em 2023. Percebendo que os dados possuem uma dimensão econômica, mesmo em sistemas que os consideram como aspectos da personalidade humana, este artigo explora o tema da monetização de dados pessoais no Brasil. A pesquisa ocorreu através de análise exploratória de referências bibliográficas, com o objetivo de verificar a existência de possibilidade jurídica de monetização de dados pessoais no ordenamento brasileiro, principalmente considerando o sistema protetivo posto pela LGPD, além de explorar questões e desafios como a precificação e externalidades que possam decorrer da monetização. Além de defendermos que é possível falarmos em monetização no sistema brasileiro, mesmo que de forma muito restrita e condicionada, extrapolamos o assunto para verificar questões sobre como seria possível a atribuição de preço baseados em medições de mercados estrangeiros.

Published: July 2024

The mind mapping learning model is a learning model that uses a combination of writing, images, symbols and colors at the same time so that it can maximize the function of the right and left brain to make it easier to remember and understand material concepts. This is the key to effective learning. The mind mapping learning model has often been used by previous researchers to test its effectiveness in increasing understanding of concepts in scientific knowledge (IPA). However, in this research, to test the power of the mind mapping learning model on the learning outcomes of understanding concepts in the social sciences group, namely in the Pancasila Education course in the Pancasila Ideology material which explains events and each event has an implied or abstract meaning so it needs to be concreted, the figures involved, the timeline or dynamics of events, with the characteristics of the material, Mind Mapping is needed to create the main ideas of the material to make it easier for students in the learning process. This research is experimental research which aims to test the effect of the mind mapping model on learning outcomes in understanding concepts.
The results of the analysis of calculating the average final ability score of students (posttest) in the experimental group were 79.43. The results of the analysis of the calculation of the average final ability score of students (posttest) in the control group were 71.87. Based on the results of the questionnaire, data was obtained that students liked learning Pancasila Education with Pancasila Ideology material using the Mind Mapping model, because it has been proven to help students understand the concept of Pancasila Ideology material. Students are also motivated to learn Pancasila Education through the phases in the Mind Mapping model and the character of the model through interesting content.

Osmanlı Devleti, 19. yüzyılda Avrupa’da meydana gelen tarihi eser araştırmalarındaki gelişmelere bağlı olarak yabancı araştırmacıların akınına uğradı. Bu araştırmacıların mensup olduğu devletlerden biri de Almanya idi. Almanlar, ilk olarak Anadolu’nun batısında yürüttükleri faaliyetlerin ardından ülkenin diğer kısımlarında da çalışmalar yapmaya başladı. Bu yerlerden biri, Osman Hamdi Bey’in 1884 yılında keşfettiği Zincirli Höyüktü. Berlin Müze Müdürü Carl Humann’ın başkanlığında 1888 yılında kazı için ilk ruhsat alındı. Bunu 1890 ve 1894 yılındaki kazılar takip etti. Ardından 1902 yılında üçüncü kazının devamı niteliğinde başlanan kazı ile Almanların yaptığı çalışmalar son buldu. Kazılarda bulunan eserlerden bir kısmı mevcut nizamname ve padişah onayı ile Almanya’ya verildi. Zincirli hakkında yapılan araştırmalar, genellikle arkeoloji veya eskiçağ disiplini çerçevesinde yoğunlaşmakta ve Almanların yaptığı kazılar hakkında çok kısa bilgiler verilmektedir. Doğrudan Almanlar tarafından Anadolu’da yapılan çalışmaları içeren araştırmalarda ise Zincirli kazılarına neredeyse hiç değinilmemiştir. Bu çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemi doküman analizi tekniği ile Devlet Arşivleri Başkanlığı’nda bulunan Osmanlı Dönemi belgelerinden hareketle Almanlar tarafından yürütülen Zincirli Höyük kazıları incelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda Osmanlı Devleti’nin kazı sürecindeki yaklaşımı, Alman kazı ekibinin ve Osmanlı Devleti’nin buluntularla ilgili tutumları ele alınmıştır. Asar-ı Atika Nizamnamesi kapsamında kazıların yürütüldüğü ve buluntuların buna göre değerlendirildiği tartışılmıştır.

Şairler, etkisinde kaldıkları mümtaz şairlere olan hayranlıklarını, onların şiirlerinin tavrını, edasını, veznini ve kafiyesini kullanarak göstermişlerdir. Bir şairin şiirini başka bir şairin aynı konu, vezin, kafiye veya redifle yazması işine “nazire” veya “tanzîr” adı verilir. Türk ve Fars edebiyatında 12. yüzyıldan itibaren görülen nazire, şairlerin yetişmesine öncülük ederken nazire mecmualarının oluşmasını da sağlamıştır. 16. yüzyıldan itibaren bu mecmuaların yaygınlaştığı görülmektedir. Pek çok şair Nizāmī-i Gencevī’nin (582/1186-602/1209) Maḫzenu’l-esrār isimli eserine nazire yazmıştır. Bu nazirelerden biri de Mīr Ḥaydar/Haydar Tilbe olarak da bilinen 14-15. asır şairi Ḥaydar Ḫˇārizmī’nin (d.?/? - ö. ?/?) Maḫzenu’l-esrār’ıdır.

NPK Fertilizer Effects on Growth and Flowering of Chinese Carnation
Authors: Owain Mazin Amer
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the impact of varying levels of NPK chemical fertilizers on the growth and flowering of the Chinese carnation plant (Dianthus chinensis). Conducted during the 2022–2023 academic year at the University of Tikrit's College of Agriculture, the experiment utilized a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four treatments: no fertilizer, high nitrogen (47% N), high phosphorus (41% P), and high potassium (43% K). Key growth metrics, including plant height, leaf count, total chlorophyll content, flower count, and floral dimensions, were measured. Results indicated significant differences between treatments. High potassium fertilizer resulted in superior vegetative growth, with the highest leaf count (38.17 leaves per plant), wet weight (28.74 g per plant), and dry weight (6.05 g per plant). It also produced the most flowers (10.66 per plant). High nitrogen fertilizer notably increased chlorophyll content (12.14 mg/g wet weight), enhancing photosynthesis efficiency. These findings demonstrate that targeted nutrient application can optimize growth and flowering in Dianthus chinensis, with high potassium levels being particularly effective. The implications of this study suggest that precise NPK management can enhance ornamental plant production, contributing to horticultural practices and commercial flower cultivation. Future research should explore the long-term effects of these fertilizers and their environmental impact.

Violence and trauma form a significant feature of world literature as part of the human condition since times immemorial, though the modes of their presentation have changed from time to time. Violent and distressful scenes in fiction are not only meant to remind the readers of their presence in their lives but also to show how people respond to them in different ways: by succumbing to them or by fighting them. The present paper aims to show how Shashi Deshpande weaves scenes of violence and trauma in the texture of her stories and how their memory not only causes pain and agony to the people who are affected by them but also works as therapy for some. She makes us aware that storytelling has long been used to help individuals process and cope with such challenging circumstances. In stories like Anatomy of Murder, A Liberated Woman, The Inner Rooms, Memorabilia, It was Dark, The Homecoming, and Lost Springs, Deshpande shows how the characters suffer violence, are plagued by traumatic memories, and learn to fight back the perpetrators of violence, and even save the others too.

Acute appendicitis is nearly an everyday occurrence in the emergency department and consists of 10% of patients presenting to emergency service with abdominal pain. When it comes to the diagnosis of acute abdomen, appendicitis is one of the most common cause13. Early Diagnosing of appendicitis with clinical examination is Sometimes not easy and challenging14. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) which is easily calculated from complete blood count is a simple marker of subclinical inflammation. It is also observed that Changes in the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can be an early sign of bacterial and viral infections.Platelets are cells that help in modulating various inflammatory conditions therefore, changes in PLR may be a useful indicator of acute infection, including Acute Appendicitis.Aim is To compare Diagnostic utility of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio vs platelet to lymphocyte ratio for diagnosis of acute appendicitis.objectives of the study as follows To calculate neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio To calculate platelet to lymphocyte ratio To compare Diagnostic utility of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio vs platelet to lymphocyte ratio in diagnosing acute appendicitis. Our study has revealed that the Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) is significantly elevated in cases of acute appendicitis compared to the Platelet-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR). While clinical diagnosis remains the gold standard for diagnosing acute appendicitis, NLR can also be a valuable investigative tool in the future. In our study, both NLR and PLR were elevated in response to acute appendicitis, but NLR showed a statistically significant increase. We also observed that NLR values were two to three times higher in cases of perforated or gangrenous appendicitis. Therefore, NLR is not only useful for diagnosing acute appendicitis but also for predicting complicated cases.

Infective endocarditis (IE) in the context of H1N1 influenza imposes clinical challenges in the diagnosis and management of both conditions. The symptoms on presentation of IE and H1N1 are similar and may include fever and malaise, which may cause the diagnosis of IE to be delayed, and thus at the time of diagnosis, the disease might be at an advanced stage (1). Co-infection enhances inflammation and has more severe cardiac and systemic manifestations, resulting in higher morbidity and mortality (2). Infection with H1N1 flu has been shown to be immunosuppressive making IE more severe. Also, the treatment of H1N1 with antiviral drugs could interact with antibiotics required to treat IE (3). Moreover, the presence of H1N1 respiratory infection could cause a delay in the required diagnostic procedures of IE. This further establishes the rationale of, increased clinical scrutiny, combined diagnostic methods, and a multidisciplinary team approach in order to provide the best care to patients with both these infections.

Most patients visit a doctor primarily because they are in pain. All physical ailments that cause pain are caused by vata. Vataja nanatmaja vyadhi, of which pain is a primary symptom, includes gridhrasi in its effects on the locomotor system. As a result of excruciating pain, the patients walk resembles that of a Gridhrasi, as suggested by the term itself. Walking becomes difficult for the patient because to acute shooting pain in Gridhrasi that originates in the sphik pradesha and spreads to the kati, prusta, uru, janu, jangha, and pada. One or both lower limbs may be affected by the back pain that radiates downward. Gridhrasi is comparable to the illness sciatica in contemporary science based on its symptoms. It is characterized by sciatic nerve distribution pain and is brought on by irritation of the spinal nerve. According to statistics, lumbar disc prolapse-related low back pain and radiating pain are major global causes of morbidity. Sciatica is more common than 40% and low back pain is 50â€“70% common throughout life. It disrupts the patients everyday schedule and way of life in general. With the limited availability of surgical treatments, only symptomatic care using analgesics such as NSAIDs is possible in modern medical research.The surgical techniques have numerous restrictions and come at a high cost. Ayurveda employs Bheshaja, Snehana, Swedana, Siravedha, Agnikarma, and basti among other techniques to cure Gridhrasi. One of these para-surgical techniques that is quick acting, easy to use, safe, and inexpensive is agnikarma. A feeble attempt is made to describe Agnikarmas function in Gridhrasi in the current study.

Histiocytic sarcoma is a rare malignant tumor characterized by histiocytic morphologic and immunophenotypic features. It typically presents extranodally and has a poor clinical outcome, particularly in disseminated cases. Some patients have a history of hematolymphoid disorders, suggesting transdifferentiation from a preexisting hematolymphoid neoplasm. Diagnosis is challenging due to its rarity and histological overlap with various other neoplasms. Judicious use of immunohistochemical markers is essential to confirm its histiocytic lineage and exclude differential diagnoses. Recent molecular studies have identified recurrent alterations in the MAP kinase pathway and chromatin regulators, offering potential new therapeutic targets.
DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN DENTAL PRACTICE: A PARADIGM SHIFT
Authors:   Clinical Rotataion Intern, Baba Farid University of Health Sciences., Kaur Dhillon Arnaaz
Published: July 2024

The advent of digital technologies has instigated a transformative shift in dental practice, markedly enhancing patient experiences and reshaping oral healthcare delivery. This wave of change encompasses Intraoral scanners, paired with CAD/CAM technologies, facilitate the creation of restorations with remarkable exactitude, resulting in superior-fitting prosthetics and improved treatment outcomes. Additionally, the expeditious nature of digital workflows streamlines impression-taking and restoration design, thereby diminishing chairside time and enhancing overall workflow efficiency. Complementing these are sophisticated imaging technologies that afford clinicians detailed 3D visualizations of the oral cavity, which are instrumental in fostering precise diagnoses and scrupulous treatment planning. The influence of digital technology transcends clinical practice, with significant implications for patient engagement and education. Interactive tools and visual aids now enable patients to gain greater insight into their treatment plans and oral health conditions, thus promoting enhanced engagement in their own dental care. Moreover, AR/VR technologies have introduced novel, immersive educational experiences for patients, who can now explore their treatment options in virtual environments and make more informed decisions regarding their oral health. In addition to patient education, the applications of AR/VR in dental practice are multifarious, extending to surgical planning and simulation, pain and anxiety management, remote consultations, prosthodontics, implant planning, dental education, and real-time chairside assistance. These cutting-edge technologies have the potential to refine clinical decision-making and patient outcomes, and to broaden the reach of dental care, especially in underserved areas. Although traditional dental methodologies persist in relevance for certain situations, the integration of digital tools has unequivocally improved aspects such as efficiency, precision, patient communication, and the efficacy of treatments within modern dentistry. Continuing advancements in digital dentistry, with a special focus on AR/VR innovations, are poised to mold the future of oral healthcare, signaling the dawn of a patient-centric, technologically empowered era of dental practice.

Scorpion bites are common in India and are usually harmless. However, they can sometimes lead to serious clinical consequences, including death. We present a case of a scorpion bite that resulted in electrocardiographic abnormalities resembling early myocardial infarction. The patient also experienced pulmonary edema and congestive heart failure, along with elevated serum cardiac markers. The cardiovascular manifestations in severe scorpion stings are attributed to the venoms effect on the sympathetic nervous system, the adrenal secretion of catecholamines, and the venoms direct toxic effect on the myocardium. This rare case of a scorpion sting Presenting congestive cardiac failure,pulmonary edema,cardiogenic shock was successfully treated with intensive care, noninvasive ventilation, vasopressors, and prazocin.

Leducation physique et sportive est une activite scolaire essentiellement corporelle, qui, en plus detre traitee en parent pauvre sur le plan institutionnel, est victime dune stigmatisation devalorisante dans plusieurs groupes sociaux. Ces constats impliquent linterrogation sur les representations sociales des sereer du Sine sur cette discipline notamment dans les villages traditionnels de Patar, Somb et Boof. Ces localites sont connues pour leur attachement a la tradition. Pour les y apprehender, nous nous sommes entretenus, de maniere semi directive avec 12 eleves (dont 6 du primaire et 6 au college), les 3 professeurs deducation physique et sportive des colleges, 5 professeurs des autres disciplines, 3 chefs detablissement, et 3 presidents des associations des parents deleves choisis au hasard. En fait, en plus de la norme sociale altruiste transmise aux enfants qui, a leur tour, les transposent a lecole, lEPS y a une connotation recreative. Elle est beaucoup plus acceptee pour les garcons que pour les filles. En outre, la categorisation sociale dictee par les pangols et culturellement interiorisee par les ecoliers et la conception retrograde de la discipline par les enseignants renforcent sa marginalisation.

The aim of this article is to show that the context and spaces in which the motor handicapped evolve in Senegal, as well as the political and legal environment, do not offer the conditions for access to inclusive, safe and high-performance mass sports practice. The methodology is based on interviews conducted mainly with handisport leaders and, above all, with people with motor disabilities, to hear their perceptions of the practice and their experiences as disabled athletes. The field survey revealed a highly complex socio-cultural environment that limits access to sporting activities for disabled people. The lack of specific sports facilities, the issue of accessible transport and the inadequacy of infrastructures are just some of the difficulties hampering the development of sporting activities.

In Senegal today, the majority of women do not engage in regular physical activity, either because they are unaware of its health benefits, or because of religious, cultural or customary constraints. Moreover, Senegalese women are sensitive to the rhythmic sounds of tam-tams. Serer women, on the other hand, cant resist the attraction of the Nguel, so irresistible is the rhythm of the tam-tams and the beautiful voice of the singers. As a result, we believe that the Mbayid dance can be a source of motivation for Serer women to engage in regular physical activity. Objective: To study the effects of a traditional Serer Mbayid dance program on the cardiovascular and anthropometric parameters of sedentary young Senegalese women aged 20 to 25. Protocol: A 5-week Mbayid dance program with 5 one-hour sessions every two weeks was endured by 10 sedentary Senegalese women aged 20 to 25. Results: Mean resting values for heart rate and systolic blood pressure fell significantly after the Mbayid program. However, mean values for diastolic blood pressure, waist circumference, weight and BMI did not vary significantly. Conclusion: A 5-week Mbayid dance program with 5 one-hour sessions every two weeks significantly reduced the mean values of heart rate and resting systolic blood pressure of 10 sedentary Senegalese women aged 20 to 25. However, it had no significant effect on weight, waist circumference, BMI or resting diastolic blood pressure.

An ethnobotanical survey was conducted in Tehsil Rajgarh of District Sirmaur. Field visits were undertaken to document indigenous knowledge regarding the utilization of plants for treating cuts and wounds. The investigation revealed the use of 42 plant species representing 21 families and 38 genera. The data was acquired through interviews and group discussions with local farmers and elderly individuals, using pre-structured questionnaires. The most frequently employed plant part were the leaves, which were followed by roots, flowers, seeds, rhizomes, and stems. Majority of the formulations used were in the form of fresh juice (15 species), paste (13 species), poultice (7 species), extract (2 species), decoction (1 species), and powder (1 species). This indigenous knowledge of plants is vanishing within communities due to the advancement of human civilizations over time. Therefore, it is essential to document this knowledge through ethnobotanical studies in order to preserve and utilize biological resources.

Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is a rare condition. This congenital anomaly affecting the development of the pituitary gland constitutes a diagnostic emergency, with the prognosis depending on the rapid initiation of hormone replacement therapy. Clinical manifestations associated with endocrine hormone deficiency vary according to the age of onset. In older children and adults, most patients present with short stature or hypogonadism. Neonatal PSIS is extremely rare and difficult to diagnose due to the absence of dwarfism, but a late diagnosis could have detrimental short- and long-term consequences. Therefore, early identification of clinical features is of great importance. Here, we report a case of neonatal PSIS revealed by cholestatic jaundice with hypoglycemia, with the initial assessment suggesting central adrenal insufficiency leading to the performance of a hypothalamic-pituitary MRI objectifying a pituitary stalk interruption syndrome. Initial response was favorable after hormone replacement therapy.

Background:Thyroid nodules are most common clinical entity we come across in HEAD & NECK surgery. Evaluation of the extent of a big thyroid swelling is always a challenge. The clinical examination of thyroid swelling has limitations in its deeper and inferior extensions like retrosternal, retro esophageal, tracheal compression and also subclinical swelling. There are various investigatory modalities to assess the extent of swelling. Study Design:Prospective observational study done on 200 patients who underwent surgery for thyroid swelling in whom preoperative investigatory findings were cross checked intra operatively and compared. Materials and Methods:Total of 200 patients included in study, who were diagnosed clinically with thyroid swelling further investigated with Ultrasonography (USG), Computed Tomography (CT) scan, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan whenever necessary and their findings are compared with that of intraoperative findings. Results: CT was supposed to be the best investigatory modality for assessing 3-dimensional view of thyroid swelling, the nature and vascularity of thyroid swelling is well documented by the Ultrasound(U/S), relationship to the surrounding structures when in doubt MRI proved to be advantageous.

Biopsychosocial diseases, particularly eating disorders (EDs), are increasingly prevalent and involve different body systems and individual aspects as well as their social relationships. This study aims at finding out the extent to which eating disorders are prevalent in a population and enumerating any factors-related.The survey is cross-sectional carried out on a sample of 520 children. A self-administeredquestionnaire on sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle, and dietary habits was used. Screening for EDs was performed using the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) and the EDY-Q (Eating Disorders in Youth-Questionnaire). These tools detected an EDs prevalence of 19% in our study, with children at risk of EDs. The average age of the children was 13 years, with minimum being 7 years while maximum was 17 years old.77.5% were girls. In the sample, the most affected age group was 13 to 17 years, with the majority coming from families with more than one child (91%). Among these children, 47% were impacted by a family event, and 58% had excessive media exposure. Additionally, 47% expressedconcerns about their body image, with the majority being girls (36%). Furthermore, a quarter of the children experienced school bullying, and 39% suffered from study-related stress.

Objective. The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an age-adjusted D-dimer (AADD) cutoff in ruling out pulmonary embolism (PE) among the Saudi population, addressing the lack of data on AADD utility in this demographic.
Methods. This single-centre retrospective cohort study conducted at Department of Medicine, King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between 2010 and 2018 analysed the data from patients suspected of PE who underwent computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA). Age-adjusted D-dimer (AADD) levels were calculated for patients over 50 years of age [(age×10) µg/L], and AADD cutoffs were compared for diagnostic accuracy.
Results. Among 277 subjects meeting inclusion criteria, a significant association between D-dimer levels and PE presence was observed. The AADD criteria showed a specificity of 94.7% and a sensitivity of 25%, with a Youden index of 0.2. The high negative predictive value of 90.62% supported the use of AADD in confirming the absence of PE in patients.
Conclusions. Based on the study findings, the AADD cutoff [(age×10) µg/L] can be efficiently and safely used as an exclusionary tool for patients over 50 years of age suspected of having PE. This study supports the clinical utility of AADD, particularly in older Saudi patient populations.
