ANCIENT GREEK EXPERIENCE OF POLITICAL AND LEGAL REGULATION OF OIKONOMIA AS A BALANCE OF INDIVIDUAL AND GENERAL
Authors: Turenko Oleh
Published: November 2024

The paper examines the political and legal means and ethical principles of harmonizing the interests of the individual and the general in the economic activity of ancient Greek society in the 8th–4th centuries BC. Explore the reform of the economic sphere, reveal the meaning of oikonomia, its structural components in the imagination and state legal practice of the ancient Greeks, highlight the shortcomings of legal regulation in matters of capital accumulation to level out the contradictions of the individual and the general. The ancient Greeks were aware of the antagonism between the individual and the general, understood the dynamic essence of their relationship and formed ethical and legal means of harmonizing the manifested contradiction. As a result of the pan-Athenian agreement, polic was determined as the dominant sphere, where oikonomia acted as a separate subject of citizen activity and consisted of three meanings: a) archaic form of blood-family economic activity, closed in itself, despotic in its essence and therefore destructive for the general; b) a household that naturally provides everything necessary for a patriarchal family and provides the opportunity for its owner to become a “master of industrial relations management.” Individual management experience ensures freedom for each citizen and can promote the interests of the general; c) chremastics is an element of оікіа. This type of activity, under the influence of egocentrism and an anti-human position, naturally threatens the common because it destroys the solidarity and democratic foundations of the policy. Therefore, certain types of chremastics (usury) were prohibited, and the type of activity itself was placed under ethical and legal control – in the form of voluntary charity. This policy was not effective and the way of managing authority was replaced by the state-legal way of managing domestic policy. Since the formation of the professional state apparatus and the formation of the Athenian Empire, oikonomia and chremastics have been transformed from a multiple phenomenon of the internal life of policy into a political lever of the external activities of the state. Athens was transformed into a large archaic оікіа – the majority of citizens and the state itself were enriched unlimitedly. Chremastics have become the dominant activity and value of the public sphere in Athens. This became one of the levers of a new imbalance of individual and general interests, the decline of ancient Greek civilization.

Due to military actions, there is destruction of Ukraine's ecosystems, deterioration of sanitary and hygienic indicators of drinking water, air, and soil. With the onset of full-scale war, the negative impact of harmful and dangerous substances (the use of chemical, phosphorus bombs, and other weapons) prohibited by the Geneva Convention leads to unforeseen consequences for the environment of Ukraine. The purpose of the study is to analyze injuries resulting from the action of white phosphorus of various types of phosphorus weapons, namely explosive weapons with a wide area of effect, mines, ammunition, long-range missiles; artillery, mortar shells, various types of grenades in the conditions of russian aggression against Ukraine. The following methods were used in the work: content analysis, comparative analysis, and systematization of the researched material. Research of scientific publications by domestic and foreign scientists using the PubMed and Google Scholar databases for the period 2001-2023 was conducted. Phosphorus munitions such as WP are known for their high effectiveness in combat operations, but also lead to serious injuries, both traumatic and post-traumatic psychological changes. White phosphorus (explosive bombs) causes burns of human body tissues upon contact with burning material, as well as burns of the upper respiratory tract due to inhalation of smoke or gases emitted during combustion. The article analyzes the regulatory framework prohibiting the use of phosphorus munitions in armed conflicts. Clinical cases of gunshot combined injuries of limbs with massive soft tissue defects, gunshot fractures, and the presence of multiple foreign bodies of metal density due to the use of phosphorus munitions are considered. An analysis of scientific research by foreign scientists on this issue was conducted. The article provides algorithms for providing first aid due to the action of phosphorus munitions, as well as methodological recommendations of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine (Order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine No. 506 of March 20, 2022) for providing medical assistance at the prehospital stage in case of phosphorus munition injuries, burns, enteral poisoning, exposure to white phosphorus in the eyes.

Risking Net Zero; Perspectives from Geographic Political Economy on the UK’s ‘De-risking’ Climate Finance regime
Authors:   , Kelly Matthew
Published: November 2024

This thesis sets out to explore some of the key dimensions in the institutionalisation of the UK’s De-risking climate finance regime- a regime that seeks to embed the consideration of climate risk in financial markets, and as such, enable the marketization of UK and international climate finance. The institutionalisation of this regime is not driven solely by climate-related financial policy, but also by wider climate policy and related concerns such as UK industrial strategy and devolved climate governance. As such some of the drivers that have greatest relevance to the institutionalisation of the UK De-risking regime are the outcomes of broader political organisation, economic structure and performance. From the diverse dimensions of institutionalisation one underlying question emerges: can the incorporation of climate risks in investment decision-making provide an adequate incentive to drive the scale and pace of investment required to deliver Net Zero in the UK and internationally? This thesis is structured over five chapters. Chapter one synthesizes a review of literature, examining the history and outlining a conceptual framework for the UK De-risking regime. Chapter two outlines the methodology for the thesis, and the Geographic Political Economy approach. Chapter three is the first of three empirical chapters and outlines an institutional systems map of UK Climate Finance. This provides key context for subsequent chapters and illustrates the scope and complexity of the task set by the UK De-risking regime to embed the consideration of climate risk in financial markets. Chapter four explores how Geo-FinTech can integrate climate-related financial disclosures to identify and measure climate related financial risk, its capabilities, institutionalisation, limitations and implications for the De-risking regime and UK industrial strategy. Chapter five explores how devolved climate governance in Wales drives or inhibits the institutionalisation of the UK De-risking regime and implications for path dependencies of Climate Finance in Wales. Chapter six outlines the conclusions of this research and draws out its implications for UK climate related financial policy as well as mapping out some areas for further research. In particular, I outline the need to consider more direct forms of structured public investment, that enable devolved governance to deliver the scale and pace of investment required for UK Net Zero.

Authors: Rogers Claire , Thorp James , Cosgrove Kirstin , McCullough Peter
Published: November 2024

Introduction: This population-based retrospective cohort study assesses rates of adverse events (AEs) involving cerebral thromboembolism (CTE) after COVID-19 vaccines. Methods: Data were collected from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 2023. CTE AEs after COVID-19 vaccines were compared to those after influenza vaccines and after all other vaccines using proportional reporting ratio (PRR) analysis by time. Results: There are 5137 cerebral thromboembolism AEs reported in the 3 years (36 months) after COVID-19 vaccines compared to 52 AEs for the influenza vaccines over the past 34 years (408 months) and 282 AEs for all other vaccines (excluding COVID-19) over the past 34 years (408 months). The PRR’s are significant when comparing AEs by time from COVID-19 vaccines to that of the influenza vaccines (p < 0.0001) or to that of all other vaccines (p < 0.0001). The CTE AEs PRR by time (95% confidence intervals) for the COVID-19 vaccine AEs vs influenza AEs is 1120 (95% confidence interval (723-1730), p < 0.0001) and for COVID-19 vaccines vs all others is 207 (95% confidence interval (144-296), p < 0.0001). Cerebral venous thromboembolism AEs are female predominant with a female/male odds ratio of 1.63 (95% confidence interval (1.52-1.74), p < 0.0001). Conversely, cerebral arterial thromboembolism has a nonsignificant male preponderance. Cerebral venous thromboembolism is far more common than cerebral arterial thromboembolism over 36 months with an odds ratio (OR) of 14.8 (95% confidence interval 14.0-15.5, p < 0.0001). Atrial fibrillation, the most common identifiable cause of cerebral arterial thromboembolism, occurs far more commonly after the COVID-19 as compared to all other vaccines with a PRR of 123 (95% CI 88.3-172, p < 0.0001). Conclusions: There is an alarming breach in the safety signal threshold concerning cerebral thrombosis AEs after COVID-19 vaccines compared to that of the influenza vaccines and even when compared to that of all other vaccines. An immediate global moratorium on the use of COVID-19 vaccines is necessary with an absolute contraindication in women of reproductive age.

Published: November 2024

This research aims to investigate the effect of the duration of gadget use and the duration of study on logical abilities and its impact on the mathematics learning outcomes of students in the Informatics Engineering Study Program, STMIK Palangkaraya. The sample was taken using a purposive sampling technique, namely, 65 active students who had taken the Calculus 1 course. The data used were gadget usage duration data, study duration data, logical ability test results, and learning outcomes for the Calculus 1 course. Data was collected using observation techniques, questionnaires, tests, and documentation, and then path analysis was carried out to determine the direct and indirect influence of exogenous variables on endogenous variables with the help of Python. The results of the study indicate that logical ability has a positive but relatively weak influence on mathematics learning outcomes (path coefficient value: 0.1525), while the length of learning directly has a positive and fairly strong influence (1.1160). Learning results in mathematics and reasoning skills are not impacted by the amount of time spent using a device. The duration of gadget use has no effect on logical abilities or mathematical learning outcomes.

Published: November 2024

Este artigo explora as complexidades e os desafios da educação em alfabetização para jovens e adultos no Brasil, destacando-a como um fator crucial para o desenvolvimento humano, a inclusão social e a participação econômica. A alfabetização é apresentada não apenas como uma habilidade técnica, mas como uma prática social multifacetada, profundamente enraizada nos contextos culturais, políticos e econômicos dos alunos. O texto argumenta que é necessário adotar uma compreensão mais matizada da alfabetização, que vá além da simples dicotomia entre alfabetizado e analfabeto, reconhecendo a existência de um continuum de práticas de alfabetização que refletem as diversas realidades dos alunos. Para ilustrar essa visão, o artigo analisa o Programa Todos Pela Alfabetização (TOPA), destacando o papel central do professor (alfabetizador) no processo de ensino e a importância de uma formação especializada e contínua. A conclusão enfatiza que o ensino da alfabetização vai muito além da transmissão de habilidades de leitura e escrita, envolvendo também a compreensão dos contextos sociais e emocionais dos alunos.

The present study investigated the association of genetic variations within the 5′UTR exons 1-1511, 3′UTR exons 1512-1723 of the sn-1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate-O-acyltransferase 6 (AGPAT6) gene of buffalo with milk production traits, using the PCR-SSCP and Sanger sequencing method. The study revealed two unique conformational patterns: ‘1’ and ‘2’ in 100 Murrah buffaloes. Ten primer pairs were used for amplification of the AGPAT6 gene and in total nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified: viz., two in Exon 4 and seven in Exon8. The frequency of SSCP pattern 1 was found to be consistently high in the buffalo population under study. The preliminary results showed substantial variations in the distribution of SSCP variant frequencies of pattern 1 and 2 within Murrah buffaloes. However, these variants of exon4 and exon 8 had non-significant association with milk yield, whereas the same variants in terms of SNPs in the coding region were found to have a significant (P≤0.01) association with fat percentage. This suggests that AGPAT6 affects the milk fat percentage, which is an economically important trait, and that further study of this gene is warranted in Murrah buffaloes. The polymorphisms observed can be used as molecular markers to assist selection.

Climate change is one of the greatest global concerns regarding livestock production. The indigenous Pramenka sheep is well known for its ability to survive in difficult environmental conditions, although there is insufficient scientific evidence. This study aimed to evaluate the seasonal variations in some hematological and blood biochemical parameters in two strains of Pramenka sheep – Hercegovačka and Dubska, under natural thermal stress conditions. The calculated Temperature-Humidity Index (THI) data indicated mild to severe heat stress in the localities where the Hercegovačka Pramenka strain was being held, while cold stress was found in all the examined localities. Numerous statistically significant differences in hematological parameters were found between seasons, and within and between the two Pramenka strains. The Dubska strain exhibited significantly higher levels of red blood cells (RBC) and packed cell volume (PCV) compared to Hercegovačka, whereas the Hercegovačka strain displayed significantly higher white blood cells (WBC) and platelet (PLT) levels in comparison to Dubska. Similar patterns were noticed in the blood biochemical parameters - the Dubska strain had more seasonal variations compared to the Hercegovačka Pramenka. During the winter, the Hercegovačka strain demonstrated significantly higher levels of total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), urea (UREA), and creatine kinase (CK) compared to Dubska. Conversely, during the summer, the Hercegovačka strain exhibited significantly higher globulin (GLO) levels, whereas the Dubska strain showed higher levels of ALB and chlorine (Cl). On the basis of our results, both Pramenka strains showed a high adaptive capacity to harsh environmental conditions, the Hercegovačka Pramenka being more adapted to heat stress, and Dubska to cold stress conditions.

Authors: Mariyam Siti Nur
Published: November 2024

This research aims to increase students' social interactions through the application of 3 Magic Words ("sorry," "please," "thank you") in group guidance using the sociodrama method. The research subjects were six class X APHP students at SMKN 3 Madiun in the odd semester 2024-2025. Using a Counseling Guidance Action Research  approach with qualitative descriptive methods, the research results show an increase in the use of 3 Magic Words after implementing sociodrama. In the first cycle, although students were still awkward, there was improvement. In the second cycle, more complex scenarios made the use of the 3 Magic Words more consistent, creating a more harmonious and collaborative classroom atmosphere. Sociodrama has proven to be effective in encouraging the use of the 3 Magic Words, which ultimately improves the quality of social interactions.

Aims

The impact of sex-related factors on current clinical management and outcomes of chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) is unclear.

Methods

All patients belonging to the prospective, nationwide START registry were included. Their baseline characteristics, diagnostic workup, revascularization strategy, pharmacological treatment and 1-year clinical outcomes were compared with respect to sex overall and in age tertiles.

Results

A total of 5070 consecutive patients were included. Most patients were males (80.1%). As expected, the prevalence of females increased with age. Distribution of risk factors and history of cardiovascular disease were different depending on sex, as well as diagnostic workup, with lower use of exercise stress testing in women (25.1% vs. 36.7%, P < 0.0001). The use of coronary angiography was similar in the two groups. Women had lower rates of multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) (33.0% vs. 40.6% P < 0.0001) and higher rates of nonobstructive CAD (18.3% vs. 11.3%, P < 0.0001). Rates of myocardial revascularization were similar, but women were more likely to receive percutaneous coronary intervention than men (84.3% vs. 77.8%, P < 0.0001) and less likely to receive surgical/hybrid revascularization (10.0% vs. 15.1%, P < 0.0001). At 12-month follow-up, no differences were observed for the combined endpoint of all-cause mortality, re-hospitalization for myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke or myocardial revascularization between males and females; however, a significantly worse perceived quality of life was observed in women.

Conclusions

In a large nationwide cohort of patients with CCS, clinical outcomes were not different depending on sex. However, several differences in the diagnostic work-up, treatment strategies and quality of life were found between sexes.
Waiting for a Tragedy? Exploring the Czech Republic’s Ability to Detect Radicalised Individuals
Authors: Zilvar Martin
Published: November 2024

Radicalisation had long been seen as something foreign, belonging more to Western Europe than to post-communist Central Europe. Considering the recent events in the Czech Republic and the 2022 Bratislava shooting, the article investigates the Concept of the Fight against Extremism and Prejudicial Hatred 2021–2026 to explore the currently involved stakeholders in its efforts to detect radicalised individuals vis-à-vis possible radicalisation-related threats emerging from its contemporary extremist landscape. As the document solely centres on the Police, Prison Service and the Probation and Mediation Service, it turns to similar institutions and services in Slovakia and Germany to outline potential inspiration and solutions for the Czech Republic. By synthesising this with the reasoning about the effective detection of radicalised individuals of predecessor Czech scholars, the article concludes that the MoI’s 2025–2026 action plan should incorporate three other stakeholders, i.e. 1) teachers, 2) children, teenagers and young people, and 3) the general public, to more appropriately meet the B2-specific objective and, crucially, to more adequately address the contemporary complexity of radicalisation.

Published: November 2024

This article explores the indigenization of English in Pakistan in Kanza Javed’s English novel ‘Ashes, Wine and Dust’. This exploratory and interpretative research employed a close reading of the novel to analyse lexical borrowing in Pakistani English, utilising a note-taking technique to identify incorporated Urdu words, examining linguistic features such as semantic fields. The analysis following established frameworks that focus on lexical borrowing and variation as reflections of socio-linguistic practices. The research aimed to explore two key questions regarding lexical variation in this novel. First, the study examined how Javed incorporates various lexical borrowing in her novel. These include words related to food, living styles, clothing, forms of address and titles, religious terms, Indo-Pak history, traditional wedding events, ethnic identity, languages representing cultural identity, and places symbolizing cultural heritage. Each of these categories reflects the rich cultural and historical context of Pakistan. Second, the study analysed how these lexical variations reflect socio-linguistic practices in Pakistani English. The novel shows the use of code-switching and compounding, two prominent features of Pakistani English that highlight the engaging language use between Urdu and English, blending them to create a distinct linguistic identity. By integrating these cultural-specific words, the writer aims to enhance the authenticity of the story and connect with a broader audience. This shows how language variation reflects the socio-linguistic norms of Pakistani society.
Exploring Outcome-driven Innovation for the Responsible Design of Electric Two-wheelers
Authors: Thelen Michael , Hornung-Prähauser Veronika , Luger-Bazinger Claudia , Will Sebastian
Published: November 2024

Amidst a technology push for electric mobility, the societal implementation of new e-mobility innovations is multi-layered and warrants a user-centered view. This study explores how the application of the outcome-driven innovation method (ODI) can be extended to e-mobility and inform a more responsible design of electric two-wheeler product and service development. By means of discovering electric two-wheelers’ possible weak spots and potentials using outcome-driven innovation with citizens, their unmet requirements can be better addressed. The results suggest several innovation potentials which could better facilitate users in getting certain jobs done, such as developing a more lightweight vehicle design. Additionally, the diverse needs of users can be transformed into real customer benefits through the subsequent integration of additional vehicle functionalities, such as complementing human machine interfaces or wearables. By employing outcome-driven innovation as a deliberative and inclusive means of creating value and by being receptive to citizen feedback, ODI has the potential to make a meaningful stride in enhancing the ‘responsible’ nature of innovation.
New Approaches for Sustainable Growth: Advancing Cross-sector Collaborations, New Capability Building, and Executive Leadership Development
Authors: Bühring Jörn , Simeone Luca
Published: November 2024

Effective executive leadership is essential for the success and direction of any organization, regardless of the industry in which it operates. However, with today's interconnected economic production and distribution processes spanning complex networks operating in diverse geographic, social, and cultural markets, uncertainty has become more pronounced. In light of these changes, we propose a learning approach based on the Cross-Sector Partnership theory, which involves creating leadership collectives that work across sectors. These collectives can create innovative strategies for sustainable progress. We believe that universities can play a crucial role in fostering collaborations between different sectors, including industry and government. As hubs of knowledge creation, research, and talent development, universities are well-positioned to offer executive education programs, masterclasses, and professional development opportunities. Such initiatives can help create a culture of continuous learning and skill acquisition, which is vital for sustainable growth. By emphasizing the importance of cross-sector collaborations, we can build critical capabilities for sustainable progress and leverage executive leadership development as a powerful tool for achieving this goal.

Published: November 2024

Objective: To describe the floristic and structural diversity of the Carrasco in the municipality of Porto Nacional.
 
Theoretical Framework: This study is based on analyzing the floristic diversity, vegetation structure, and floristic similarity to verify its classification as a phytophysiognomy associated with the Cerrado of Tocantins.
 
Method: Fifty plots measuring 10 x 10 meters were allocated. Sampling criteria included circumference ≥ 10 cm at ground level and height ≥ 1 m. The phytosociological data were analyzed using the FITOPAC software.
 
Results and Discussion: A total of 4,110 individuals were found, distributed among 59 species from 37 genera and 22 botanical families. The vegetation showed homogeneity and diversity comparable to other Cerrado areas but with distinct characteristics, such as the presence of lianas and low ecological dominance. The floristic similarity analysis revealed a low similarity between the "Carrasco" and other Cerrado phytophysiognomies, highlighting the uniqueness of this vegetation.
 
Research Implications: The 'Carrasco' possesses unique floristic, structural, and similarity characteristics, being a vegetational relict that justifies its designation as a new phytophysiognomy of Tocantins.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by providing a detailed analysis of the floristic composition of the “Carrasco” phytophysiognomy, a new xerophytic and deciduous phytophysiognomy on sandy soils in the state of Tocantins, highlighting its importance for biodiversity conservation within the Cerrado biome. The relevance of this research is to expand the understanding of the ecological characteristics of this relic, offering essential insights for future conservation and management actions.

Published: November 2024

El estudio de la relación entre el desempeño académico y el estatus socioeconómico del hogar así como de las interrelaciones de estas condiciones al interior de las instituciones educativas ha sido de interés en múltiples investigaciones. Este libro realiza aportes a la discusión a partir de la estimación de algunos modelos de regresión multinivel y la construcción de un conjunto de indicadores que permiten evaluar el grado de segregación de los sistemas educativos del Valle del Cauca y sus municipios. El análisis desarrollado, tanto a nivel de los estudiantes como de los colegios, a partir de los gradientes socioeconómicos para cada región administrativa permite evaluar el aporte del INSE del hogar en cada uno de los puntos de la distribución. Los resultados evidencian que los estudiantes en desventaja socioeconómica que se ubican por debajo del percentil 10 alcanzan promedios 30 % inferiores al promedio nacional en la prueba Saber, aunque en municipios como Buenaventura y algunos no certificados, donde los hogares en promedio presentan dificultades socioeconómicas, 95 de cada 100 estudiantes obtienen logros inferiores al promedio nacional (50 puntos). Al considerar además la variante “colegio”, tanto las diferencias en las condiciones socioeconómicas como en los logros académicos promedio confirman que las mayores diferencias se observan en los municipios no certificados, mientras que en los municipios certificados hay mayor homogeneidad; no obstante, las condiciones socioeconómicas del colegio explican cerca del 60 % de las diferencias en el desempeño. La variación del logro académico alrededor de la media del INSE escolar, deja ver que la brecha entre los colegios clasificados en el nivel 1 de desempeño respecto a los del nivel 4 es cercana a 50 puntos. Aunque, al acotar el análisis al rango intercuartil, se observan condiciones socioeconómicas muy similares a nivel de colegio y, por tanto, promedios académicos igualmente similares entre los estudiantes.
Spiritual Materialism/ Material Spiritualism: Shakta Tantric Approaches to Matter
Authors: Chakraborty Sudipta , Mukhopadhyay Anway
Published: November 2024

In opposition to ontological discourses that denigrate matter and uphold the superiority of the spirit, one can foreground the Shakta Tantric conceptualization of matter and spirit as interchangeable forces that inform the dynamics of the universe. Rather than seeing matter and spirit as incommensurable poles of a binary, Shakta Tantric yoga integrates them. This approach informs the Shakta Tantric universe of the renowned twentieth-century Bengali yogi, Vishuddhananda Paramahamsa whose Akhanda Mahayoga (Integral Great Yoga) integrates certain aspects of classical Yoga with Shakta Tantric discourses of dynamic matter, thereby enthusing the Shakta Tantric yogi to radically re-epistemologize “matter”. This paper explores how Vishuddhananda’s mode of yoga, through theory and praxis, gives rise to a unique philosophy of spiritual materialism or material spiritualism, foregrounding the ways the Divine Feminine – by revealing the fluid interplay of matter and spirit – forces us to jettison the binarization of these two aspects of existence. In the course of this exploration, the paper investigates whether and how the spiritual materialism/material spiritualism of Shakta Tantra may be seen as prefiguring the western discourses of New Materialism and Posthumanism. As Vishuddhananda hailed from Bengal, a tropical region of India celebrated for its association with Shaktism, the paper explores how his view of spiritual materialism may contribute to an emergent episteme of Tropical Materialisms by proposing a possible connection between such spiritual materialism and certain specific aspects of tropical nature that might have led to the Shakta “spiritualization” of its material dimensions.

Objetivo:  Analisar as complicações das lacerações perineais pós-parto e os desafios associados ao seu manejo. Métodos: A revisão integrativa foi realizada seguindo as diretrizes do PRISMA e incluiu estudos publicados entre 2019 e 2024, como observacionais, ensaios clínicos e revisões sistemáticas que exploraram as complicações das lacerações perineais decorrentes do parto vaginal. Resultados: Os estudos selecionados destacam que as lacerações perineais podem resultar em dor intensa, infecções locais e hemorragia pós-parto. A longo prazo, complicações como prolapso de órgãos pélvicos, depressão pós parto, dispareunia e incontinência urinária e fecal podem impactar significativamente a qualidade de vida das mulheres. Considerações finais: Para melhorar os desfechos maternos, é crucial implementar intervenções imediatas e preventivas no manejo das lacerações perineais. Assim, investir em capacitação profissional, incentivo à pesquisa científica sobre o tema e adotar abordagens personalizadas são medidas essenciais para promover uma experiência de parto mais positiva e segura.
The deception of acantholysis: The painful and overlooked story of ocular surface squamous neoplasia in a red eye

A painful red eye can be extremely distressing and can be caused by various ophthalmological or dermatological disorders. We hereby report a case of a red, painful eye in a 55-year-old woman suspected to have pemphigus or ocular cicatricial pemphigoid. Acantholytic cells were seen on conjunctival biopsy, and treatment with prednisolone 60 mg/day with the preliminary diagnosis of ocular pemphigus showed no improvement. Reevaluation of the tissue block showed full-thickness dysplasia within the conjunctival epithelium and acantholytic cells. A diffuse subtype of ocular surface squamous neoplasia, formerly called Bowen’s disease of the eye, is an extremely rare condition and is often misdiagnosed as conjunctivitis, leading to delayed diagnosis. Our case posed an additional diagnostic dilemma due to the uncertainty caused by acantholysis in histology. She was finally treated with external beam radiotherapy, showing resolution of redness and pain. There was no recurrence over the next 1 year.
