Authors: Siddique Sajida Munir , Ahuja Kanta Bai , Baloch Sanobar , Hafeez Mariam , Shams Nahil , Jan Mir Mehrab
Published: December 2023

Objective: Females suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome have an increased likelihood of experiencing a deficiency in vitamin D. Methods: The Obstetrics and Gynecology department at Indus Medical College Tando Muhammad Khan, conducted a cross-sectional study for six months. The study aimed to investigate 160 women aged 17–44 who presented with the polycystic ovarian syndrome. The researchers collected blood samples from the participants and measured their vitamin D levels. If the serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 were less than 20ng/ml, the participants were considered vitamin D deficient. The researchers obtained written informed consent from all participants and used SPSS version 20 to enter and analyze the collected data. Results: The study included patients aged between 17 and 44 years old, with an average age of 25.721 ± 7.56 years. The majority of patients (n=118, 73.7%) fell within the 17-30 age range, while 52 patients (26.0%) were between the ages of 32-45. In the study group, 74 patients (46.25%) were classified as obese. However, there was no significant contrast in the occurrence of vitamin D insufficiency among different age brackets (17-30 vs. 31-44 years) or body mass index classifications (overweight vs. non-overweight). Specifically, the percentages were 57.6% vs. 57.1% for age categories and 64.8% vs. 52.3% for body mass index divisions, correspondingly, with p-values of 0.643 and 0.045. Conclusion: Among females with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the prevalence of insufficient levels of vitamin D was determined to be 58.0%. Nonetheless, there were no significant differences in the occurrence of vitamin D insufficiency across different age and BMI groups. Keywords: Vitamin D deficiency, polycystic ovarian syndrome, obesity

Published: December 2023

Background: The provision of antenatal services is a matter of great importance because it not only enables women to receive appropriate healthcare, but it also ensures that any issues that may arise during childbirth are detected and managed effectively through timely consultations with specialists. Aim: The aim is to ascertain how often booked cases appear during childbirth and to contrast the outcomes for mothers in the local population who have pre-booked appointments with those who have not. Methods: A observational study was carried out for six months at Indus Medical Collage Tando Muhammad Khan, Pakistan. Non-probability consecutive sampling was used to select participants. Participants were asked to provide informed consent and were asked about their demographic information and obstetric history. The cases were classified as either "booked" or "un-booked" based on an operational definition, and their maternal outcomes were recorded in relation to delivery. Results: Pre-eclampsia, out of a total of 180 participants, 42 (23.33%) were diagnosed with the condition. Of those 42 cases, 18 occurred in the booked group and 24 in the unbooked group. preeclampsia, 8.33% of unbooked women from low SES groups had preeclampsia, compared to only 5.0% of unbooked women from middle SES groups (p-value = 0.003). Similarly, for preterm birth, 10.55% of unbooked women from low SES groups had preterm births, compared to only 2.77% of unbooked women from middle SES groups (p-value < 0.0001). Conclusion: The findings of our research indicated that most individuals who encountered unfavorable maternal consequences, such as surgical delivery, gestational hypertension, and premature delivery, belonged to the unregistered category. Conversely, the registered group demonstrated significantly lower occurrences of these complexities. Keywords: booked and unbooked, pregnancy complications, Preeclampsia, maternal outcome

On What is Always Before Our Eyes The Uncharted Depths of Francisco Varela's Thought
Authors: Vörös Sebastjan
Published: December 2023

What we are supplying are really remarks on the natural history of man; not curiosities, however, but rather observations on facts which no one has doubted & which have only gone unremarked because they are always before our eyes. (Wittgenstein, 1956, §141)
What Self in Self-Organization? Engaging Varela's Epistemology for the Co-embodied Self
Authors: Kyselo Miriam
Published: December 2023

I focus on an early article by Francisco Varela, 'Not One, Not Two' (1976), to argue that his non-dualistic epistemology entails a paradigm shift towards a fundamentally co-embodied, and thus social, view of self. Varela argued that the mind–body duality could be resolved by understanding
the mind as embodied. Both Varela and Evan Thompson have later elaborated on this and suggested an enactive, essentially embodied view of the self in terms of selforganized, organismic autonomy. I will argue that the enactive view of the self remains ambiguous with regards to the role of social
interactions: are they constitutive for the minimal self-organization of the self or do they only play a shaping, secondary factor? I rely on Varela's epistemology in 'Not One, Not Two' to support my argument that the minimal self-organizational network that is the human self entails both
individual bodily and joint co-embodied processes so that the self is already and constitutively social.
Life After 'Life After Kant' Other Minds with Jonas and Merleau-Ponty
Authors: Benevides Rodrigo , Feiten Tim Elmo , Chemero Anthony
Published: December 2023

This paper examines two twenty-first-century developments in the enactive approach in philosophy and the cognitive sciences. The first is the surging interest in Hans Jonas, which begins with Weber and Varela's 'Life After Kant' (2002) and continues up to the present. The second is
the 'social turn' that the enactive approach has taken, especially after De Jaegher and Di Paolo's (2007) work on participatory sense-making. We look at these two developments through the lens of the problem of other minds. We argue that they are incompatible due to a residual solipsism in
Jonasian phenomenology. Ultimately, this leaves enactive theory with a choice between embracing Jonas or embracing the social turn in enactive theory. We recommend replacing Jonasian influences with those from the late work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty. We argue that enactivism can evade the problem
of other minds using Merleau-Ponty's discussion of 'flesh' and 'expression'.
Aristotle on Political Friendship and Equality
Authors: Arum Eero
Published: December 2023

Recent scholarship has placed the concept of friendship at the centre of Aristotle's political thought. However, relatively little attention has been given to Aristotle's claim that political friendship is 'based on equality'. This article first explicates this claim as it appears in
the Eudemian Ethics, where Aristotle asserts that the paradigmatic form of political friendship is based on 'arithmetic' rather than 'proportional' equality. Second, it shows that this 'egalitarian' conception of political friendship is fully consistent with theNicomachean Ethics
and Politics — and in doing so, challenges a recent argument that the Eudemian Ethics was not genuinely written by Aristotle. Third, it argues that Aristotle's 'egalitarian' conception of political friendship motivates his advocacy of various economic arrangements and practices
throughout the Politics, including but not limited to the 'common use' of property.

Introdução: No Brasil, o Sistema Único de Saúde, é responsável por mais de 95% transplantes hepáticos, disponibilizando de modo mais igualitário um serviço essencial à saúde. Todavia, há carência de órgãos frente à crescente demanda e desafios para alcançar o sucesso do procedimento, devido a gravidade das doenças de base que impactam na sobrevida pós cirurgia. Objetivo: Investigar a taxa de transplante de fígado em todas as unidades federativas do Brasil entre os anos de 2010 e 2021, bem como avaliar sua relação com sobrevida dos pacientes submetidos ao procedimento. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico, observacional, analítico do tipo coorte não concorrente, com dados obtidos do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares referentes a hospitalizações que realizaram transplante de fígado, em todas as unidades da federação (UF) do Brasil entre janeiro de 2010 e dezembro de 2021. Resultados: Foram realizados no país 17.254 transplantes de fígado, à um custo total de R$ 1.657.439.379,00 financiado pelo SUS em pacientes com idade média de 53,78 anos. O sexo feminino apresentou probabilidade de sobrevida menor que pacientes do sexo masculino. Quanto ao período 15 dias de internação hospitalar, os pacientes sem diagnóstico de insuficiência hepática apresentaram probabilidade de sobrevida de 86,4% (IC95% = 85,7 - 87,2) e os pacientes com diagnóstico de insuficiência hepática com probabilidade de sobrevida de 81,7% (IC95% = 80,0 - 83,4). A letalidade descrita foi de 12,29% e não houve diferença de sobrevida quanto a faixa etária (p=0,13), período de internação (p=0,31), doença alcoólica do fígado (p=0,14) e fibrose e cirrose hepática (p=0,22). A probabilidade de sobrevida foi estatisticamente semelhante entre transplantados que receberam fígado de doador falecido ou vivo.

Protótipo com tecnologia IoT para gestão hídrica em irrigações: um estudo de caso em uma plantação de açaí e café
Authors: Fiusa Davi Gaede , De Almeida Ronaldo
Published: December 2023

A gestão eficiente dos recursos hídricos em plantações é uma preocupação crescente mundial para garantir a sua sustentabilidade. Estudos apontam que 70% da água captada no mundo é utilizada na irrigação e que a irrigação em excesso pode chegar até 40%. Soluções tecnológicas de ponta e alto custo estão disponíveis para monitorar e otimizar o uso da água, mas são financeiramente inviáveis para pequenos produtores onde em 2017 o Censo Agropecuário do Brasil apontou que 77% dos estabelecimentos agropecuários foram classificados como de agricultura familiar. Em resposta a esta lacuna, o presente estudo foca no desenvolvimento de um protótipo de baixo custo e fácil reprodutibilidade para coleta e análise de dados de umidade do solo e umidade e temperatura do ar visando oferecer informações em tempo real para tomada de decisão do uso da irrigação por parte do produtor. O protótipo é fundamentado no conceito de Internet das Coisas (IoT) e foi aplicado uma plantação de açaí e café no interior de Rondônia, Brasil. Utilizando microcontroladores ESP32 e a tecnologia de comunicação de longo alcance LoRa, foram desenvolvidas três Estações de Coleta de Dados com sensores distribuídas pela área de cultivo, os dados coletados são enviados para uma Estação Base e posteriormente para uma plataforma de IoT em nuvem, onde são analisados e transformados em informações em tempo real para a gestão da irrigação. O protótipo demonstrou eficácia em suas funções, foi responsivo as alterações de índices de umidade e demonstrou uma diferença de 39% de umidade entre duas estações dando indicativos para mudança do método de irrigação adotado pelo proprietário para uma melhor distribuição da água na plantação.

A literatura de Lima Barreto, desenvolvida durante o alvorecer da Primeira República no Brasil, apresenta elementos importantes para a compreensão da sociedade que se configurava em um plano político e social permeado de contradições e desigualdades. Assim sendo, acreditamos ser importante levar em consideração as possibilidades de análise do conto O Poderoso Dr. Matamorros, para entender as disputas e anseios do período, através da literatura. Dito isto, este estudo tem como objetivo geral analisar como o trabalho e as tensões sociais são apresentados no conto O Poderoso Dr. Matamorros, de Lima Barreto. Esta pesquisa ancora-se na ontologia marxiana, que compreende o trabalho como a categoria fundante do ser social e transformadora da relação entre o homem e a natureza. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, na qual desenvolve-se a leitura exploratória do referido conto de Lima Barreto, para delimitar os aspectos a serem abordados. Como resultados e discussões destacamos o fato de que, através da literatura de Lima Barreto, é possível abordar temas sensíveis à sociedade brasileira, como a exploração da classe trabalhadora, que resulta nas desigualdades sociais.

Published: December 2023

Este ensaio teórico apresenta uma reflexão sobre a perspectiva de ampliar o universo da compreensão da gestão escolar e da educação inclusiva para superdotados, fazendo uso de ferramentas tecnológicas para conexões em redes digitais. Fulcro no conceito e fundamentos aplicados à teoria de sistemas e, também, nos elementos constitutivos da teoria dos três anéis de Renzulli e da teoria das inteligências múltiplas de Gardner, e com a teleologia do objeto focado na educação para discentes com altas habilidades/superdotação, elaborou-se o modelo conceitual: a visão da educação para superdotados na perspectiva do enfoque sistêmico. O sistema de gestão educacional para superdotados estrutura-se no contexto de uma visão holística integrada, mediante a concepção de três subsistemas, a saber: subsistema de gestão da informação; subsistema de competências e habilidades discentes e o subsistema de avaliação pedagógica. A modelagem do sistema de gestão em educação inclusiva assenta-se no desafio em desenvolver e ampliar os cenários de investigação, com uso de ferramentas tecnológicas, fazendo uso de conceitos da inteligência artificial, learnmachine e rede neural. Neste contexto, à aplicação da visão da educação de superdotados na perspectiva do enfoque sistêmico, estabelece um conjunto de parâmetros conceituais e operacionais factíveis a modelagem de uma ferramenta tecnológica dimensionada para fazer diagnóstico do ecossistema educacional, identificando discentes com as características de superdotação para as séries do ensino fundamental e médio, mediante utilização de indicadores de avaliação pedagógica interdisciplinar.

Published: December 2023

In this article, we used approximate methods to obtain Bayes method estimations for the shape and scale parameters of the generalized exponential distribution, as three approximation methods were employed: Lindley approximation and neutrosophic Lindley approximation, Gibbs sampling and neutrosophic Gibbs sampling, the most important samples based on the gamma informative prior under the squared error loss function. Through different simulation experiments a comparison was made between those estimators of these three approximate methods, from the simulation results we found a relative preference for the important sampling method over the other two methods. The results of simulation experiments were also confirmed by applying these approximate methods to real data representing the operating times of one of the machines of the publishing, printing, and translation house in Baghdad. On the other hand, we apply the same method to the neutrosophic exponential distribution, and the results will be compared to the classical case.

This article considers a stochastic multi-objective linear programming problem in a neutrosophic framework. The right-hand sides of the constraints are random variables associated with their means and variances, and the single-valued trapezoidal neutrosophic numbers are included in the coefficients of the objective functions to investigate the problem. The problem is successfully converted into the related deterministic programming model based on the formulation of the scoring function and several distributions, such as the Uniform, Exponential, and Gama distributions. Applying fuzzy goal programming, the deterministic problem is solved. An example is then solved to demonstrate the solution methodology.

Authors: Khan Ramsha , Javed Umar , Rehman Atiq ur
Published: December 2023

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a minimally invasive procedure for gallbladder removal, is widely preferred due to its advantages like reduced postoperative pain and quicker recovery. However, in certain cases, this procedure may need to be converted to an open cholecystectomy. The ability to predict such conversions preoperatively is crucial for better surgical planning and patient counseling. Objective: To identify and analyze the per-operative predictors that may necessitate the conversion of laparoscopic to open cholecystectomy. Methods: This study was conducted in Surgical Unit 3 at Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur as a prospective observational study spanning over 6 months from September 2022 to February 2023. All patients who were booked for Laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included. The data of preoperative and perioperative factors were collected on a standard proforma. Operative findings which were analyzed and documented by the surgeon were then, compared to look for the factors that contribute to conversion of Laparoscopic cholecystectomy into open procedure. Results: Mean ± SD of age was 42.59 ± 13.14.  Regarding frequency of per-operative findings. It reveals that adhesions were found in 20 (22.7%) of the 88 procedures, difficult anatomy at Callot’s triangle was present in 12 (13.6%) cases, unmanageable bleeding occurred in 4 (4.5%) cases, and damage to nearby structures was observed in 6 (6.8%) procedures. The remaining procedures did not exhibit these issues. Conclusions: Our study has conclusively identified critical per-operative predictors for the conversion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy to an open procedure. These insights are instrumental for preoperative assessment and planning, potentially guiding clinical decisions to optimize patient care and surgical outcomes.

Published: December 2023

Colorectal cancer is a major global health concern, ranking third in prevalence and second in mortality. Developed countries have high incidence rates, while Pakistan is considered a low-risk region. Metastatic colorectal cancer requires targeted therapies like FOLFIRI and FOLFOX4, but their effectiveness in Pakistan is unknown. This study aims to provide insights, guide treatment decisions, and expand global understanding in the field. Objective: To compare therapeutic effects of FOLFOX4 and FOLFIRI for advanced colorectal cancer patients. Methods: The Medical Oncology Department of Jinnah Postgraduate and Medical Centre conducted a randomized controlled trial research from May 2022 to February 2023. Hundred patients of advanced colorectal cancer with a confirmed diagnosis of age 18 to 80 years, of either gender, were included. Randomly, 50 of these patients were in FOLFIRI group, and 50 in FOLFOX4 group. Both groups were compared for the treatment outcomes. Results: In the FOLFIRI group, the total response rate was 66%, whereas in the FOLFOX 4 group, it was 78%. In the FOLFIRI group, the median time to progression was 8 months, but in the FOLFOX 4 group, it was 9 months (p=0.06). In the FOLFIRI group, the total median survival time was 13 months, whereas in the FOLFOX 4 group, it was 14 months (p=0.280). Conclusions: The response rates between the two groups were similar, while FOLFOX 4 had a little higher rate of tumor control. FOLFIRI had a lower incidence of neutropenia, whereas FOLFOX 4 had a lower incidence of nausea and vomiting.
Effect of Land Use and Land Cover Change on Soil Erosion in Alaba Sub-Watersheds of Central Rift Valley Basin, Ethiopia
Authors: Jemal Kedir , Gadisa Muleta
Published: December 2023

The magnitude of soil erosion rates has been accelerating in the Central Rift Valley Area of Ethiopia due to land use and land cover change (LULCC). This study aimed to analyze the trends and changes in land use and land cover dynamics and to analyze the impact of LULC change on soil erosion over the Alaba Sub-Watershed, Central Rift Valley Area of Ethiopia. This study would help to plan and use appropriate land use planning, soil, and water conservation practices, thereby reducing soil erosion in the study area. The soil loss rates were estimated using an empirical prediction model of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) outlined in the ArcGIS environment. During the study period between 1987 and 2018, the rate of change in cultivated land and bare land was raised by 9.09% and 1.08%, respectively. On the contrary, vegetation cover and grasslands had dropped by –2.03%, and -1.42% respectively. From trends of LULC changes, cultivated land revealed an increasing trend increasing from 181.28 hectares to 351.23 hectares for the period 1987 to 2018, respectively. On the other hand, vegetation and grasslands showed a declining trend from -271.92,-22.66 hectares to -305.91, -124.63 hectares, respectively. The findings of the study generally elucidate that the LULCC has a detrimental impact on soil erosion. The estimated total annual actual soil loss in the study landscape was 25707.77 tons in 1987, 29310.71 tons in 2000, and 31769.32 tons in 2018. It was also found that the mean annual soil loss rate of the study catchment was 22.69t/ha/yr., 25.87t/ha/yr. and 28.04t/ha/yr. in 1987, 2000, and 2018 respectively. About 35% and 42% of the Sub-watershed experienced high to very severe soil erosion in 1987 and 2018, respectively. The results indicate that the estimated erosion rate for about 39 % of the sub-basin area exceeds the maximum tolerable soil erosion threshold and this shows that the erosion risk condition is deteriorating in the study landscape. The top three priority levels delineated for urgent SWC measures represent those areas within the large increase in erosion risk levels, with an area of 188 hectares and accounting for 17 % of the sub-watershed area. Therefore, further detailed investigations based on data from primary and secondary sources would be important in identifying driving socioeconomic forces and consequences of LULCCs and suggesting possible alternative options to establish sustainable resource management practices in the study area.

Authors: Teixeira Pablo Jordano Lopes
Published: December 2023

A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo comparar os índices de transparência da Escala Brasil Transparente (EBT) de 2017 com o Índice de Efetividade da Gestão Municipal (IEGM) do Piauí, em 2015, buscando uma correlação entre transparência e corrupção. Foram abordadas formas de controle da administração pública, com ênfase no controle social. Foram analisados dois componentes, através dos dados disponibilizados pela Controladoria-Geral da União (CGU) por meio da Escala Brasil Transparente (EBT), que mede a transparência pública nos estados e municípios brasileiros, e o outro são os dados do Índice de Efetividade dos Recursos Municipais (IEGM) Brasil, que avalia a qualidade dos gastos públicos nos municípios brasileiros, buscando uma correlação entre os dois para verificar se existe uma relação direta entre transparência e eficácia da gestão. A pesquisa bibliográfica foi combinada com a análise de dados sobre os componentes mencionados, sempre à luz da lei da transparência e foi construída uma tabala com dados de 63 municípios do Piauí. Após a comparação, não foi possível verificar a existência dessa relação direta, mas foi possível constatar que os municípios piauienses são pouco transparentes e pouco eficazes.

Esse trabalho tem como tema o Uso da ivermectina durante o corona vírus e suas reações adversas: uma revisão sistemática. Tendo como objetivos analisar sobre a toxicidade da ivermectina se administrada em uma posologia maior que a recomendada, o uso não racional durante a pandemia e as reações adversas no tratamento da COVID-19. A ivermectina é um medicamento antiparasitário de amplo espectro, esse medicamento começou a ser utilizado em off-label, sendo administrado em algumas ocasiões com uma posologia até cem vezes mais que a recomendada na bula, em alguns casos levando a uma internação hospitalar, desse modo começaram a aumentar o número de notificações de reações adversas (RAM) ou efeitos secundários. As principais RAMs notificadas aos bancos de dados eram as gastrointestinais e neurológicas. Com a urgência na saúde em decorrência desse novo vírus, deu-se inicio a procura por medicamentos que seriam eficazes ou teriam uma medida preventiva. Foram revisados artigos que trazem estudos que buscam uma comprovação da possível eficácia da ivermectina como tratamento para a COVID-19 e as notificações registradas nos principais bancos de dados de vigilância sanitária e de farmacovigilância. INTODUÇÃO: A COVID-19 é uma doença infecciosa oriunda do SARS-CoV-2, vírus da família coronavírus. Entre os medicamentos utilizados estava a ivermectina, um medicamento antiparasitário utilizado em humanos e animais, que pode causar diversas reações quando não utilizadas de forma racional. Com relação a tratamento ou prevenção da COVID-19, não há ensaios clínicos ou mesmo metanálises que tenham uma alta qualidade demonstrativa de que há qualquer efeito benéfico para pacientes com COVID-19. OBJETIVO: Realizar uma revisão sistemática sobre o uso da ivermectina durante o Corona vírus as suas reações adversas. METODOLOGIA: A busca dos artigos e de resultados de estudos clínicos, foi realizado nas bases de dados Scientific Eletronic Libray Online (SCIELO), Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS), United States National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health (PubMed). RESULTADOS: Foi obtido um total de 138 artigos das bases de dados SCIELO, BVS e PubMed aplicando os critérios necessários para a elegibilidade e selecionados de acordo com os objetivos abordados. CONCLUSÃO: As reações adversas ou efeitos secundários, na grande maioria das vezes é consequência do mal uso desses medicamentos podendo levar os pacientes que, em grande maioria, fazem uso por automedicação. O que fica evidente dos estudos e pesquisas publicados é que a ivermectina ainda continua sendo um antiparasitário, e mesmo que possa ser recomendada para a COVID-19, é pouco provável a resolução dos sintomas podendo até mesmo ter um agravamento da doença devido ao seu uso, principalmente em quantidades elevadas.

The exponential growth of urban populations has led to a substantial increase in traffic on urban roads, prompting extensive research into optimizing road networks for vehicular traffic. However, there has been a noticeable lack of attention given to the safety and well-being of pedestrians. One particularly perilous scenario for pedestrians occurs at mid-block crossing locations where well-designed crosswalks are absent. In such areas, pedestrians are forced to identify safe crossing points, often with limited safety measures in place. Ensuring the safety, convenience, comfort, and minimal delay for pedestrians in these situations is imperative. To address this gap, a comprehensive evaluation of the quality of service at mid-block crosswalks is necessary. This research study focused on assessing the quality of service at non-signalized mid-block pedestrian crossings from the perspective of consumers. The analysis employed regression techniques and gathered data from four distinct mid-block crossing locations in different areas of Visakhapatnam. Data collection involved video image surveillance to obtain data on pedestrian quantities, volume-based characteristics, walking speeds, capacity, and gap sizes, complemented by questionnaires to capture real-time experiences and opinions of pedestrians. The questionnaire encompassed various variables affecting crossing quality, including demographic information and pedestrian perceptions of safety and comfort. Pedestrians rated these attributes on a scale of one to six, with their scores serving as variables for subsequent analysis. This approach seeks to ensure that pedestrians have the safest, most comfortable, and efficient means to cross the street while minimizing potential delays.
