Published: December 2024

Dysmenorrhea, or primary dysmenorrhea (PD), marked by menstrual cramps in the lower abdomen, is a common but often overlooked condition affecting a considerable number of women. The impact of dysmenorrhea extends beyond physical pain, often causing considerable disruption to daily activities, work, and social interactions. It significantly affects the quality of life, often causing absenteeism from school or work. Increased intrauterine prostaglandin secretion is linked to pelvic pain in PD. Diagnosis relies mainly on clinical assessment, considering symptoms and physical examination, with treatment aimed to enhance the quality of life. These menstrual cramps are frequently accompanied by other symptoms, such as headaches and nausea, which are believed to be due to prostaglandins released as the endometrium breaks down. A literature search using the keywords dysmenorrhea, menstrual pain, and hormonal contraceptives was done using the following databases: Google Scholar, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Pubmed, and Scopus for articles published  from   2015 to 2024. The literature study was done to find the connection of dysmenorrhea and menstrual pain with hormonal contraceptives. Common treatments include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, hormonal contraceptives, and non-pharmacological interventions. This review provides an in-depth analysis of recent treatment advancements for dysmenorrhea, focusing on its pathophysiology, clinical diagnosis, and impact on women's quality of life. It evaluates current and emerging treatments, including pharmacological interventions, non-pharmacological therapies, surgical approaches, hormonal treatments, and investigational drugs, aiming to identify improvements in efficacy and side effects.
Removing and Rehabilitating the Burangin: South Korean Newspapers' Vagrancy Discourse in Support of State Violence
Authors: Jung Eunyoung
Published: December 2024

The South Korean government used the burangin [vagrants] label to justify their massive wave of forced institutionalizations in the 1980s that resulted in countless abuses and many hundreds of deaths. The survivors' legal battles continue as the state, while no longer arresting so-called "vagrants," has never rectified the crimes of that period. Universal deinstitutionalization remains a controversial proposition in South Korea as the public is generally unaware of fundamental problems inherent in the practice of institutionalization itself. This paper uses critical discourse analysis to examine the discourse of vagrants in South Korean newspapers in the 1980s. While police cracked down on alleged vagrancy, the news media constructed the vagrant as an unsightly object, a threatening figure, and a target for rehabilitation. This article also discusses oppressive power mechanisms around this discourse which connects to issues of ableism and disability.
Predicting Continuous Intention to Use e-Learning Platforms among University Students: An Integrated Model
Authors:   Faculty of Islamic Sciences, Prince of Songkla University, Pattani Campus, Pattani, Thailand, Soliman Mohamed
Published: December 2024

The current study explores Continuous Intention (CI) to use electronic learning (e-learning) as an educational tool among university students through the prism of a post-pandemic theoretical framework. Despite e-learning technology’s latest launch in academia, very little has been done to evaluate its effects. To examine what factors impact the continuous intention to use E-learning, this paper contemplates incorporating the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with Self-Determination Theory (SDT). University students were asked to fill out questionnaire forms that were designed to gather data for the proposed model. This study employed a linear Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. The empirical results indicated that perceived usefulness and autonomy are significant predictors of the continued intention to use E-learning in the Thai context. Contrarily, the CI was unaffected by Perceived ease of use. Overall, theoretical and practical ramifications are addressed.

Published: December 2024

Febrile jaundice is a condition that can be caused by infection and non-infection, one of the causes of infection is leptospirosis. Leptospirosis is caused by bacteria of the genus Leptospira. Leptospirosis is a fairly complex condition and can involve various organs. Severe leptospirosis is called Weil's disease. Weil’s disease is a febrile jaundice condition involving various organs, especially the liver and kidneys. The recommended serological tests for Leptospirosis are microscopic agglutination test (MAT) and IgM enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Negative serological results can occur in some cases with typical clinical conditions, requiring re-examination. Pituitary tumors are benign tumors with slow growth. It is very rare to cause liver or other organ metastases.

Comparison of proliferative potential in JTrOF , PsOF and OF of craniofacial complex using CDK4 and pHH3.

Fibro-osseous lesions (FOL) refers to a poorly defined diverse group of lesions affecting the jaws and craniofacial complex. This spectrum of lesions includes fibrous dysplasia, cement-osseous dysplasia and two histological variants of ossifying fibroma - Despite benign neoplasms, both the variants of ossifying fibroma are characterized by rapid growth, potential for local invasiveness and a tendency to recur. According to the literature, the recurrence rate of JTrOF is about 20% where as PsOF is from 30-56%. Diagnosis is based on histopathology and imaging of the lesion. Early diagnosis allows for the resection of a smaller lesion , reducing the chance of damage to nearby structures. Various biomarkers such as oncogenes CDK4, MDM2, p53 and α-SMA have been investigated in bone pathology to predict biological behaviour of these lesions for precise treatment planning.

Immunohistochemical expression of CDK4 and pHH3 will be assessed in histopathological diagnosed cases of juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma, psammamatoid ossifying fibroma and conventional ossifying fibroma.

The immunohistochemical expression of CDK4 was 100% in JTrOF and PsOF and 60% in OF. The expression of pHH3 was weak and focal in JTrOF and PsOF and also weak in OF.

This study reveals the genetic mechanism involved in pathogenesis of aggressive variant of OF. Pre-treatment biopsy and CT scan are necessary for proper diagnosis and treatment planning of the lesion.

Published: December 2024

Paraneoplastic hyperthyroidism, although uncommon, is a known phenomenon in Germ cell tumors. Trophoblastic thyroidian hyperfunction is a complication of Choriocarcinoma.

Choriocarcinoma is associated with high levels of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG). HCG is a glycoprotein produced by the placenta. It is structurally almost identical to Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). At high levels HCG can stimulate the TSH receptor causing Hyperthyroidism.

This is a case of a 25 year old female diagnosed with metastatic Choriocarcinoma and concomitant Hyperthyroidism. After the first cycle of chemotherapy, the concentration of HCG decreased significantly. Simultaneously patient’s thyroid function test values normalized dramatically and the patient became euthyroid.

The two known causative mechanisms are, enhanced thyrotropic activity by HCG and the molecular mimicry between HCG and TSH which causes release of Thyroxine from the thyroid gland.

Authors: Kakad Ashvini Arun , Ingle Rucha A , Nimse Aarti Mahadev , Giram Rutuja Devidas , Nagrik Shatrughna Uttam
Published: December 2024

The broad group of bacteria that live in the human body is called the microbiome. This has recently become an important component of pharmacology, and it offers some of the latest insights into drug processing, effectiveness, and safety. Recent investigations have underlined once again the crosstalk between microbiome and pharmacokinetics: gut microorganisms influence how medications are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted. The consequences of this relationship in terms of personalized treatment are most relevant because the individual profiles of the microbiome of a person might influence their response to medications and their vulnerability to toxicity. In addition, microbiome manipulation could be used to make care more efficient and diminish adverse effects. It discusses the latest advances in microbiome research, their impact on drug development and clinical practice, and potential future ways in which knowledge regarding the microbiome can be integrated into pharmacological research. This rapidly growing field is promising to transform medication therapy and optimize treatment techniques through the linkage of microbiome science to pharmacology.

Transverse testicular ectopia with persistent mullerian structures is seldom seen. Although treatment for this condition is well defined, it is very important to suspect persistent mullerian duct syndrome in cases where both testes are found on the same side. We discuss three unusual cases which presented with non-palpable undescended testis on one side and a hernia with two gonads and persistent mullerian structures on the other side.
On Norwid’s poem Początek broszury politycznej…
Authors: Niewczas Łukasz
Published: December 2024

The author of this article attempts to interpret the poem Początek broszury politycznej… [The Beginning of a Political Pamphlet…] building on readings by J. Puzynina, B. Subko, Z. Trojanowiczowa, and J. Trznadel. In comparison with these earlier interpretations, he emphasises to a greater extent the historical context of the poem’s creation, primarily the events related to the January Uprising. To achieve this goal, the poem is read in the light of Norwid’s journalism from that period and interpreted as a polemic with the traditional model of Polish patriotism, which was characterised by the tendency to take actions that were not preceded by reflection and would not take into account possible victims.
Vade-mecum vis-à-vis the English-language poetry cycles of the second half of the 19th century
Authors: Samsel Karol
Published: December 2024

The aim of the study is to initiate the reflection over the systemic ways of reading Vade-mecum that at the same time could be the new starting point to rearrange the comparative reflection on the cycle and its pioneering character. Similar possibilities seem to be provided by so-called synthetic comparatistics, and it is in that spirit that this article juxtaposes and compares Vade-mecum with Alfred Tennyson’s In Memoriam, Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass as well as Gerard Manley Hopkins’s Poems. The result of confronting of those perspectives has been expressed in specific conclusions, among others – the strong semanticising tendency of the cycle in Norwid’s, Tennyson’s, Whitman’s and Hopkins’s cases as well as the experiments in the area of maintaining and breaking the continuity of cycle’s diegesis – clearly outlined within the Norwid’s and Whitman’s cycles. Studying as well as comparing the structural aspects of the cycles by Norwid, Tennyson, Whitman and Hopkins may lead to the cautious determining the new starting point of research – literary comparatistics, which could be simultaneously referred to as conditional and analytical.
Poets meeting in space and word. On Norwid’s poems addressed to Józef Bohdan Zaleski
Authors: Halkiewicz-Sojak Grażyna
Published: December 2024

This article offers an interpretation of two poems by Cyprian Norwid, which are addressed toJózef Bohdan Zaleski: Do Józefa Bohdana Zaleskiego w Rzymie 1847-o [To Józef Bohdan Zaleski in Rome,1847] and Na przyjazd Teofila Lenartowicza do Fontainbleau [On the Arrival of Teofil Lenartowicz in Fontainbleau]. The latter is a poetic letter that recommends to Lenartowiczthat he should pay a visit to the Zaleski family. These poems allow us a glimpse into the relationship between the three 19th-century poets. The article elaborates on certain biographical elements but primarily reveals how Norwid regarded the differences between his own imagination and poetic stance on the one hand, and the works of his two friends on the other. Further, it shows how the awareness of this opposition led the poet to recognize aspects of his own place on the map of Polish poetry. Microanalysis of selected themes also facilitates indicating certain features they all share.
Abraham (as) as the Symbol of the Faith of Tawhid in the Qur'an
Authors: Atsız Burhan
Published: December 2024

Abraham (pbuh), who is shown in an extremely superior position among the people who wholeheartedly believed in the creed of Tawhid in the Quran, is a leading figure for the Arab polytheists and the ancient followers of revelation, who lived in the vicinity at the time when the Quran was sent down and are defined by the Quran as People of the Book. He is presented as an exemplary personality. From the perspective of Arab polytheists, Hz. They claim that Abraham set an example and that they continued and adhered to Hanifism, the religion of Abraham. What they think they maintain is actually nothing more than their devotion to the ancestor cult. However, the Quran uses comparisons to reveal the mistake they fell into, by referring to the wrongness of the belief in polytheism, and emphasizing that when they truly knew their ancestor, Abraham, he had the belief in monotheism, which is the exact opposite of the belief in polytheism they are currently in. The aspect that gains importance in the eyes of the People of the Book is that Abraham was a completely different person than what they imagined in their minds, with their own warring religions and false obsessions. The Quran uses the concept of 'hanif' while giving a completely different identity and definition to Abraham (as). With this concept, it is emphasized that he is a person with pure monotheism. While the Quran thus appeals to both communities, it actually shows that Muhammad (pbuh), who instilled a new religion in them, had a belief just like Abraham, and that he placed him in a respectable place, but did not criticize those who evaluated him from a wrong perspective, not as he should have. Hz. It aims to establish the idea and belief that Allah will only be pleased with this if they believe in the religion brought by Muhammad.

The article is dedicated to the study of business corruption, its influence on small and medium-sized businesses
and the need for creation of efficient corruption combating mechanisms. Small and medium-sized business is the key
economic growth engine through providing employment opportunities and promoting social stability. However, in the
course of their development, such enterprises often encounter corruption pressure, which becomes stronger as they grow
strengthen their positions in the market. The article discusses the pressure methods used by public officials, which includes
bribery and coercion to provision of unofficial benefits. Such practices have negative influence on fair competition and
decrease the long-term economic stability of the country. The main focus is on different aspects of business corruption
including interaction between business representatives and the government, as well as corruption practices within private
organizations. Several definitions of business corruption are analyzed, each of which focuses on its various aspects from
aims and mechanisms to negative consequences for the economy and society. The author comes to the conclusion on
the need for a standardized definition which would cover different forms and manifestations of business corruption, the
importance of elaboration of efficient combating means in order to create favorable business environment.

Stress and coping strategies among Balkan mothers of children with developmental disorders
Authors: Marisavljević Maša , Petrović Nikola , Jovanović Olja , Ćirović Milica , Stanojević Nina , Folić Nevena
Published: December 2024

This study explored stress in Balkan parents of children with developmental disorders (DD), taking into account the type of child’s DD, sociodemographic factors, and coping strategies. Sample comprised 139 mothers from Serbia (42%), Montenegro (27%), Bosnia and Herzegovina (14%), Croatia (16%), and Slovenia (2%), whose children were diagnosed with specific developmental disorders of speech and language (37%), autism spectrum disorders (39%) and mixed specific developmental disorders (24%). Mothers completed the Parenting Stress Index-SF and Brief COPE, and provided information on sociodemographic characteristics. The one-way ANOVA revealed that mothers of children with ASD reported the highest stress intensity. Linear regression suggests that having a child with autism spectrum disorder, lower education, and the use of Self-blame contribute to the prediction of stress. The results of several mediation analyses indicate that Religion and Behavioral disengagement mediate the relationship between parental stress and the child’s age: parents of older children with DD show a greater tendency to use these coping strategies, which consequently leads to higher stress levels.

Patients were phenotyped with the identification of four main phenotypes and a variant of the COPD + bronchial asthma (BA) phenotype. For a comprehensive assessment of the condition of COPD patients, the indices of disease severity – ADO and comorbidity – Charlson were calculated. A moderate positive correlation was established between the ADO and Charlson indices in patients with emphysematous (r = 0.407, p < 0.04) and mixed (r = 0.537, p < 0.001) phenotypes. The severe degree of the disease (p < 0.01) was noted in emphysematous and mixed phenotypes, respectively 65 and 54 %. With bronchitis and COPD+In the phenotypes, the similar severity of the disease was 31 and 28 %. When analyzing the features of the construction of personalized pharmacotherapy in patients with different COPD phenotypes, clinically significant disadvantages of the treatment process in the region were established. A stereotypical mistake in the tactics of prescribing bronchodilators is the insufficiency of basic therapy in outpatient settings, which amounted to 34.7 % of cases, mainly in bronchitic (42.9 %) and mixed (54 %) phenotypes, which, in turn, leads to a decrease in the main goal of COPD treatment. Personalization of pharmacotherapy of patients of various phenotypes with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease optimizes the ten-year prognosis of patient survival.

The profession of ballet dancers is always associated with excessive physical exertion, which in turn leads to increased muscle tension in all parts of the body, including the muscles of the facial skeleton. This, in turn, can lead to various occlusal disorders of the teeth, and subsequently functional and structural changes in the TMJ. Materials and methods: Examination and dental treatment of 15 ballet dancers with identified TMJ dysfunction was carried out. Results: Ballet dancers are particularly noted for the restriction of mouth opening and pain of varying intensity. The main patological changes of the TMJ are arthritis, arthrosis, synovitis, displacement of the position of the intra-articular disc, injuries, complete or partial dislocations, ruptures of the ligamentous apparatus. Conclusions: Splint therapy is effective for eliminating functional and structural changes in the TMJ in ballet dancers.

Twórcza paranoja w służbie realizmu. O problemie realizmu w twórczości Andrzeja Szpindlera
Authors: Rojek Barbara
Published: December 2024

Artykuł ma na celu namysł nad pojęciem realizmu w sztuce na podstawie tekstów teoretycznych Bertolta Brechta, który niejednokrotnie wskazywał, że dzieło realistyczne, a więc dążące do dostarczenia jak najbardziej trafnego obrazu świata, nie jest wynikiem zastosowania jednej metody, której formalne wprowadzenie zapewni realistyczność. Pytaniu o konkretną technikę powinno więc towarzyszyć pytanie o przyczynę jej użycia. Korzystając dodatkowo z innych marksistowskich tekstów o realizmie (Roger Garaudy, Todd Cronan), staram się wykazać, że brechtowskie szerokie i pozbawione wyznaczników formalnych pojęcie realizmu pozwala pytać o realizm również w dziełach pisarzy posługujących się strategiami awangardowymi, korzystających z technik pozornie wytwarzających rzeczywistość zupełnie nierealną. Zakładam też, że wskazywanie, w jaki sposób autorzy – w tym wypadku Andrzej Szpindler – wykorzystują zniekształcenia rzeczywistości do wyrażenia o niej jakiejś istotnej prawdy i zrozumienia jej głębszych, mniej jawnych struktur, może przyczynić się do poszerzenia współczesnego rozumienia realizmu. Zasadniczą częścią artykułu jest więc interpretacja dwóch powieści Szpindlera: Oko chce bardziej, niż chce tego wątroba! oraz Źrebię puchacza i tabloidu. Stawką tekstu jest po pierwsze wykazanie, że autor jest zainteresowany tworzeniem trafnych przedstawień rzeczywistości i zaprezentowanie na przykładzie jego twórczości, jak wiele środków formalnych może być do tego użytecznych; po drugie zaś dowiedzenie produktywności Brechtowskiego ujęcia realizmu do analizy i oceny dzieł również współczesnych twórców.
CHARTING THE COURSE: EXPLORING THE FUTURE OF ONLINE EDUCATION MANAGEMENT AND EFFICIENCY IN MAURITIUS' SECONDARY SCHOOLS
Authors:   University of Technology Mauritius, Gunnoo Leenshya
Published: December 2024

This conceptual study examines the challenges faced by secondary school educators in Mauritius in adopting online classrooms, particularly after COVID-19. It evaluates online education as a tool for enhancing education quality, focusing on gender, ICT infrastructure, and educators' technological and pedagogical knowledge. Through qualitative research, specifically in-depth interviews, the study explores educators' experiences and perceptions. The conceptual analysis suggests that gender may influence educators' attitudes toward technology, with female educators potentially facing more challenges. The availability of robust ICT infrastructure and technical support is crucial for educators' readiness to adopt online teaching. Additionally, educators' knowledge of technology and its pedagogical use is key to successfully integrating online learning. These conceptual insights are intended to guide future research and policy decisions, highlighting the need for targeted professional development and strategic investments in ICT to support online education adoption in Mauritius. Future research should include empirical data and expand to other regions and educational levels for a broader understanding of online education adoption.

Authors: Miranda Nonato Assis de , Rosa Sanny Silva da , Jesus Filho Carlos Antonio Jovem de
Published: December 2024

Este artigo apresenta os resultados parciais de uma pesquisa que analisou as repercussões do gerencialismo e da performatividade, materializadas no Método de Melhoria de Resultados (MMR) na perspectiva do coordenador pedagógico (CP) da rede estadual paulista (Seduc). As bases teóricas foram construídas a partir dos conceitos de performatividade, gerencialismo  e de atuação de políticas (policy enactment) de Stephen Ball. A pesquisa foi orientada pelos fundamentos da abordagem qualitativa, com levantamento bibliográfico, análise documental e levantamento empírico. Os dados empíricos foram coletados em um Grupo de Discussão (GD), cujo propósito foi identificar as concepções dos CP sobre o MMR e seu papel como membro da gestão escolar. Além disso, buscou explorar as formas de atuação do coordenador pedagógico para colocar em prática o MMR. Para a realização da análise do material empírico coletado, optou-se pelo recurso metodológico da Análise de Prosa (AP). Os dados coletados evidenciaram que os CP da rede estadual paulista, ainda que sejam obrigados a atender a demandas por desempenho e cumprimento de metas, não atuam como mera caixa de ressonância da Seduc, mas adotam um discurso autoral e estratégias de ação que recontextualiza o MMR, adaptando-o à realidade e ao contexto escolar.
Metaverso de Schrödinger
Authors: Burger Carlos Alberto Coletto , Barreto Carlos Henrique da Costa , Ghisleni Taís Steffenello
Published: December 2024

Este é um estudo qualitativo de natureza crítico-reflexiva acerca da temática de Metaverso – termo popularizado em nosso cotidiano a partir da ficção científica, e hoje de grande influência na comunicação, no marketing, na informática, e em diversas outras áreas pessoais e profissionais da nossa vida. Assim, temos por objetivo geral investigar seus diferentes conceitos sobre o que é metaverso concentrando-se em [1] debater o metaverso sob ótica de diferentes abordagens e percepções teóricas, [2] explorar os diferentes níveis de imersão sob os quais autores consideram o estado de “estar no Metaverso”, e [3] mapear os diferentes níveis tecnológicos observados como necessários – ou não – para se conectar neste ambiente. Como resultados, observamos duas linhas de pensamento: a de que já estamos no metaverso, a qual conduzimos pelas colocações da autora Martha Gabriel; e a de que ainda não estamos no Metaverso pois nos falta tecnologia, conduzida pelas colocações de Dora Kaufman. Por conclusão, destacamos que num estado da arte acerca de Metaverso, podemos perceber diversas conceituações conflitantes ou contraditórias acerca da temática Metaverso – elevando-se a necessidade de formalização conceitual para uso científico ou diverso. A analogia ao paradoxo do “Gato de Schrödinger” serve para ilustrar como os estados de percepção podem se tornar conflitantes quando privados de estudo e observação, como o próprio Metaverso em nossa atualidade.
