Authors: Rymsza Taciana , Vargas Florence Fantin de
Published: August 2023

A gestação é um fenômeno fisiológico que acontece na maioria dos casos sem intercorrências, as quais são designadas gestações de risco habitual. Com o objetivo de realizar um acompanhamento longitudinal, a assistência pré-natal visa guiar uma boa evolução gestacional, preparar a gestante para o momento do nascimento e traçar um plano obstétrico continuado. O objetivo deste trabalho se resume a correlacionar o perfil das pacientes gestantes com a sua frequência de consultas de pré-natal, buscando quais fatores diminuem sua adesão ao programa de assistência, e posteriormente identificar quais grupos necessitam de mais atenção. Métodos: Os dados foram coletados através de análise individual de prontuários, selecionando os fatores idade, escolaridade, estado civil e número de gestações prévias para comparação com o número de consultas, posteriormente classificando como cobertura completa, parcial ou insuficiente de acordo com o número de consultas propostas pelo Ministério da Saúde. Resultados: Evidenciamos que o fator mais relevante para manutenção do acompanhamento pré-natal é a presença de um companheiro, uma rede de suporte e segurança. A baixa idade não se mostrou um fator que diminui a adesão, enquanto a baixa escolaridade demonstrou ser prejudicial. As gestantes que já possuíam 3 ou mais filhos se mostraram mais engajadas ao acompanhamento.  Secundário à pesquisa, outro fator relevante citado em diversos trabalhos, além do manual do Ministério da Saúde, foi a boa relação com a equipe. O grupo que realizou o mínimo de 6 consultas de pré-natal na unidade corresponde a 79,31%. Mesmo que as demais tenham registro de busca ativa em prontuário, fica evidente a necessidade de investir em outros meios de aumentar a cobertura do serviço e ações direcionadas para as mulheres que são mais suscetíveis a realizarem a assistência de forma insuficiente.
How the extreme 2019–2020 Australian wildfires affected global circulation and adjustments

Abstract. Wildfires are a significant source of absorbing aerosols in the atmosphere. Extreme fires in particular, such as those during the 2019–2020 Australian wildfire season (Black Summer fires), can have considerable large-scale effects. In this context, the climate impact of extreme wildfires unfolds not only because of the emitted carbon dioxide but also due to smoke aerosol released up to an altitude of 17 km. The overall aerosol effects depend on a variety of factors, such as the amount emitted, the injection height, and the composition of the burned material, and is therefore subject to considerable uncertainty. In the present study, we address the global impact caused by the exceptionally strong and high-reaching smoke emissions from the Australian wildfires using simulations with a global aerosol–climate model. We show that the absorption of solar radiation by the black carbon contained in the emitted smoke led to a shortwave radiative forcing of more than +5 W m−2 in the southern mid-latitudes of the lower stratosphere. Subsequent adjustment processes in the stratosphere slowed down the diabatically driven meridional circulation, thus redistributing the heating perturbation on a global scale. As a result of these stratospheric adjustments, a positive temperature perturbation developed in both hemispheres, leading to additional longwave radiation emitted back to space. According to the model results, this adjustment occurred in the stratosphere within the first 2 months after the event. At the top of the atmosphere (TOA), the net effective radiative forcing (ERF) averaged over the Southern Hemisphere was initially dominated by the instantaneous positive radiative forcing of about +0.5 W m−2, for which the positive sign resulted mainly from the presence of clouds above the Southern Ocean. The longwave adjustments led to a compensation of the initially net positive TOA ERF, which is seen in the Southern Hemisphere, the tropics, and the northern mid-latitudes. The simulated changes in the lower stratosphere also affected the upper troposphere through a thermodynamic downward coupling. Subsequently, increased temperatures were also obtained in the upper troposphere, causing a global decrease in relative humidity, cirrus amount, and the ice water path of about 0.2 %. As a result, surface precipitation also decreased by a similar amount, which was accompanied by a weakening of the tropospheric circulation due to the given energetic constraints. In general, it appears that the radiative effects of smoke from single extreme wildfire events can lead to global impacts that affect the interplay of tropospheric and stratospheric budgets in complex ways. This emphasizes that future changes in extreme wildfires need to be included in projections of aerosol radiative forcing.
Polish-Czech-German conflict over Cieszyn Silesia in 1918–1920
Authors: Hojka Zbigniew
Published: August 2023

Po I wojnie światowej jednym z czynników decydujących o kształcie granic II Rzeczypospolitej miały być plebiscyty, m. in. między Polską i Czechosłowacją o Śląsk Cieszyński. W tym okresie miał miejsce konflikt polsko-czesko-niemiecki o przynależność państwową tego regionu. Pomimo korzystnej dla Polski umowy z 5 listopada 1918 roku o podziale na zasadach etnicznych Śląska Cieszyńskiego, doszło do interwencji zbrojnej i zajęcia większości terenu przez Czechów. W tej sytuacji na konferencji paryskiej postanowiono poddać go nadzorowi międzynarodowemu a następnie zarządzono przeprowadzenie plebiscytu. Rozpoczęła się akcja plebiscytowa, w trakcie, której władze polskie uzmysłowiły sobie, że głosowanie może wygrać Czechosłowacja. W tej sytuacji zdecydowano się na odwlekanie plebiscytu go a następnie zaproponowano arbitraż. Ostatecznie w czasie wojny polsko-bolszewickiej na konferencji w Spa 28 sierpnia 1920 r. doszło do niekorzystnego dla Polski podziału Śląska Cieszyńskiego.

Published: August 2023

The soaking stage of parboiling is a critical unit operation that demands a cautious time-temperature relationship, which has direct implications on post-parboiling grain quality. This study aimed to two-dimensional computationally model moisture intake characteristics of paddy (var. ADT-39) when soaked at three different temperatures (60, 56 and 70 ºC). Fickian diffusion was considered and hydration rates were found to be significantly temperature dependent, and were higher during the first 1 h soaking period, and the first 300 s period in specific, corresponding to moisture diffusion across the husk layer. Predicted values were validated against experimental results and were found to be in the acceptable range. This approach is simple, quick and can be extended as a tool to better understand the soaking process of food grains.

Temper Tantrums and Homoeopathy
Authors: JS Dr. Sreevidhya
Published: August 2023

Young children use tantrums as a means to control their emotions, express themselves, and attempt to comprehend or alter their environment. This is due to the fact that at this age, children's social and emotional skills are just beginning to develop. Children frequently lack the words to adequately communicate strong feelings. Therefore, it is up to parents to handle tantrums without damaging their kids' self-esteem. By homoeopathy we can successfully treat and lessen the severity of tantrums.

Comments on “Progressive Muslims and Islamic Jurisprudence," by Kecia Ali
Authors: Saleem Zainab
Published: August 2023

This is a review of Kecia Ali’s book chapter “Progressive Muslims and Islamic Jurisprudence.” Ali argues for a need to reform Islamic family law, such that it is representative of the contemporary context. Her argument is based on her research on Islamic family law in Islamic jurisprudence manuals in which she found a significant influence of gender norms in the formative period of Islam (until the third century AH) in shaping its content. She concludes by highlighting that as the gender norms in the formative period influenced Islamic family law, we need to reform Islamic family law for it to reflect contemporary gender norms. This write-up explores Ali’s argument and methodology and situates her argument within other scholarship on rethinking Islamic family law. It concludes by providing an evaluation of Ali’s argument.

Results: In the research conducted in 2020, 56 graduate physiotherapists answered the questionnaire. 65 of the physiotherapists who graduated in 2021 answered the questionnaire. The groups were similar in terms of age and gender (p>0,05). There was no significant difference between the two graduation years in terms of the distribution of responses given to each item (p>0,05).

Conclusion: This study showed no significant difference in the approaches of physiotherapists who graduated two years in a row during the pandemic process against COVID-19. The dramatic increase in knowledge, experience, and prevention methods about the disease did not make any sense in the attitudes of physiotherapists. Uncertain new variants of the virus, multiple systemic involvement, and long-term complications are thought to have affected this outcome.
Non-Performing Loans and Commercial Bank Profitability: Evidence from Cambodia
Authors: Maaji Muhammad M. , Barnett Casey , Long Chanramy
Published: August 2023

This study looks at the macroeconomic and bank-specific factors that affect non-performing loans and how they affect Cambodian banks' profitability. The study uses panel data with a sample of 35 commercial banks in Cambodia from 2017 to 2022 given an observation of 210. The findings showed that among the factors influencing non-performing loans among commercial banks in Cambodia are bank profitability, bank size, and inflation. The results also show that while the loan-to-deposit ratio, bank size, economic growth, and inflation have positive and substantial effects on the profitability of Cambodian banks, the non-performing loans ratio has a negative and significant impact on that profitability. The findings of this study have important implications for policy makers and bank managers and the paper offers significant value in shaping and improving the banking sector of emerging markets. The findings suggest that Cambodian banks should align their loan practices with the state of the economy because NPLs typically rise during economic downturns and fall during stable economic times. To reduce the surge in nonperforming loans brought on by increased lending, banks should develop strong credit risk management practices. And banks should take advantage of their economies of scale to improve data collection on borrowers and lower the number of nonperforming loans.
An Exploration of Ha Jin’s Cultural and Literal Capital Reflected in Waiting
Authors: Jing Tan
Published: August 2023

Ha Jin is one of the most important contemporary Chinese-American writers in American literary circles. His diaporic identity, on one hand, offers him the priority to observe and retrospect the two cultures. On the other hand, it makes his composition imprinted with strong features: unique narrative mode and skillful design, through which he exposes thoroughly human nature and probes into the intricacies of the heart.This essay intends to analyze how Ha Jin’s cultural and literary capital has enhanced the theme of the novel Waiting. He is especially good at depicting everyday details in simple English with a Chinese flavor. By these detailed descriptions, he gives us insight into the lives of Kong Lin and Manna Wu which are mechanistic and dehumanizing. We can also see how an individual’s fate is determined by everyday life from everyday details of the characters in the novel.

Di Indonesia, gerakan literasi telah diterapkan oleh pemerintah untuk mengatasi permasalahan minat baca siswa yang rendah, namun program literasi tidak keseluruhan bisa diterapkan sekolah. SMPN 2 Doko adalah satu sekolah negeri di Kecamatan Doko, Kabupaten Blitar yang belum bisa mengimplementasikan gerakan literasi sekolah dikarenakan terbatasnya sarana yang dimiliki, seperti kurangnya buku bacaan yang ada di perpustakaan dan kurangnya kesadaran siswa dalam belajar. Permasalahan lain adalah faktor ekonomi keluarga siswa yang rata-rata rendah sehingga berpengaruh terhadap minat baca siswa. Berdasarkan kondisi tersebut, maka keterampilan literasi pemula menjadi fokus dalam kegiatan literasi ini dengan literasi baca tulis. Kegiatan literasi dilaksanakan di perpustakaan dalam waktu 20 menit dengan membaca buku non-akademik dan oleh guru. Kegiatan berlangsung seminggu 1 kali pada siswa kelas 7. Pada kegiatan literasi ini, kepala sekolah menunjuk beberapa guru pendamping yang selalu mendampingi siswa-siswinya.  Pendampingan kegiatan literasi mendapatkan penerimaan yang baik dari siswa-siswi SMPN 2 Doko, hal ini dapat ditinjau dari keaktifan hingga 85% dari siswa-siswi dalam mengisi jurnal kegiatan dan menyerahkannya kepada masing-masing guru pendamping.
Genetically Determined Rheumatoid Arthritis May Not Affect Heart Failure: Insights from Mendelian Randomization Study
Authors: Lin Xueqi , Zhou Miaomiao , Zhang Chunsheng , Li Jiming
Published: August 2023

Background: Evidence from observational epidemiological studies indicated that rheumatoid arthritis (RA) increased the risk of heart failure (HF). However, there is a possibility that the correlation is not explained as a causative role for RA in the pathogenesis of HF. A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) framework was designed to explore the potential etiological role of RA in HF to identify the target to improve the burden of HF disease.
Methods: To assess the causal association between RA and HF, we analyzed summary statistics from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) for individuals of European descent. Genetic instruments for RA were identified at a genome-wide significance threshold (p < 5 × 10–8). Corresponding data were obtained from a GWAS meta-analysis (95,524 cases and 1,270,968 controls) to identify genetic variants underlying HF. MR estimates were pooled using the inverse variance weighted method. Complementary analyses were conducted to assess the robustness of the results.
Results: There was no evidence of a causal association between genetically predicted RA and HF [odds ratio (OR), 1.00; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.99–1.02; P = 0.60]. Various sensitivity analyses suggested no pleiotropy detected (all p > 0.05).
Conclusion: Our findings did not support the causal role of RA in the etiology of HF. As such, therapeutics targeted at the control of RA may have a lower likelihood of effectively controlling the occurrence of HF.
Authoritative Populism and the Media: Perception Control and Narrative Building in India
Authors: Javed Humayun , Imran Sumeera
Published: August 2023

The article analyses the interrelationship between authoritarian populism and the media in India. It explores the core question of political authoritarianism under the rule of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and whether it has exercised control on media. The article explores two main questions: First, what are the dynamics of media control in India, if any? Second, whether media control has played any role in the polarisation of the Indian society. The article employs the theoretical framework of authoritarian populism, using content analysis, to explore whether media has any role to play in the recent upsurge of right-wing Hindu nationalism. The article’s empirical evidence suggest media’s complacent and partisan role, favouring populist political agenda in India. The article highlights that the bulk of Indian media works under the state control, with major newsgroups towing the ruling BJP’s line on exclusivists right-wing ideology. Furthermore, the groups which do not comply have faced governmental repression and clampdown for independent reporting and objective journalism. The article’s original contribution rests in the analyses of authoritarian populism and right-wing nationalist control of the media and the health of democracy in India.
U.S. Posture of Integrated Deterrence: China’s Response and Implications for the Asian Security
Authors: Aiza Azam and Adil Sultan
Published: August 2023

As the world is drawn increasingly into a web of shifting geopolitics, battle lines are being drawn and alliances are re-orienting themselves. Working from the premise that the competition between the United States (U.S.) and the People’s Republic of China will define the dynamics of the international system for the foreseeable future, this paper takes a look at the U.S.’s evolving posture of Integrated Deterrence and the likely Chinese response, which would have implications for Asian security. It reviews the contours of ‘Integrated Deterrence’ as it is laid out in the U.S. National Security Strategy 2022 and how this may shape the policy decisions of the U.S. and its partners, especially Taiwan, as well as how major U.S. regional allies, including India are likely to play their role in support of the U.S. interests. The paper also analyses China’s strategic thinking, national defence policy and national security objectives that are likely to influence its choices in the evolving great power competition. Taking Taiwan as the case study, the paper finds that in addition to pursuing more traditional approaches, both the U.S. and China will consider influencing domestic public opinion in China and Taiwan as a key focus of their respective policy considerations; it also finds convergences in the related responses of South Asia’s two major players, India and Pakistan.
MANAGEMENT OF STABLE CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE : A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Andreria Hatulely Chrysman
Published: August 2023

Introduction: The goal of drug treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is to relieve symptoms and lower the chance of future problems like flare-ups, disease progression, and death. Because COPD is not all the same, people respond differently to drug treatments. The best way to treat COPD now is with precision medicine, which uses clinical and biomarker data to make treatment decisions that are best for each person.

The aim: This article discusses management of stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Methods: By comparing itself to the standards set by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020, this study was able to show that it met all of the requirements. So, the experts were able to make sure that the study was as up-to-date as it was possible to be. For this search approach, publications that came out between 2013 and 2023 were taken into account. Several different online reference sources, like Pubmed and SagePub, were used to do this. It was decided not to take into account review pieces, works that had already been published, or works that were only half done.

Result: In the PubMed database, the results of our search brought up 68 articles, whereas the results of our search on SagePub brought up 32 articles. The results of the search conducted for the last year of 2013 yielded a total 31 articles for PubMed and 15 articles for SagePub. In the end, we compiled a total of 14 papers, 10 of which came from PubMed and four of which came from SagePub. We included four research that met the criteria.

Conclusion: COPD treatment has evolved to match clinical characteristics and biomarkers to each patient. Hospitalizations and death have improved in triple combination treatment studies.  However, COPD treatments are lacking, such as emphysema-slowing drugs. Despite progress, much remains.
