O que quer dizer educação emancipatória na creche para as crianças de 0-3 anos? Entre o adultocentrismo e a descolonização
Authors: Santos Solange Estanislau dos , Faria Ana Lúcia Goulart de
Published: September 2023

Este artigo discutirá a creche como espaço de emancipação humana e de construção de epistemologias e experiências descolonizadoras. Pensar numa educação emancipatória desde o nascimento pressupõe-se desconstruir várias concepções que percorrem o imaginário e a práxis educativa das instituições brasileiras e que, por muito tempo, invisibilizaram as crianças pequenas e os bebês. É preciso colocar de ponta cabeça os modos de pensar as crianças pequenininhas e os espaços educativos. É necessário trazer as especificidades, as multiplicidades e as possibilidades desses sujeitos históricos e concretos que produzem culturas infantis e resistem a colonização, a opressão e a subordinação da sociedade adultocêntrica. Para isso, posicionamos nosso olhar na tensão das abordagens marxistas em direção as perspectivas pós-colonialistas a fim de antropofagicamente produzir inspirações teóricas e metodológicas para pensar as crianças, as infâncias e a educação infantil. Palavras-chave: Emancipação; creche; crianças pequenas; bebês; culturas infantis; adultocentrismo; pedagogia descolonizadora.

Yerleşimi Neolitik döneme kadar giden Burdur ilinde gerçekleşmiş ve halen gerçekleşmekte olan kazılar neticesinde kentin geçmişine dair önemli veriler sunmaktadır. Antik dönemde Pisidia bölgesinin bir parçası olan Burdur ilinin ve Pisidia bölgesinin önemli antik kentlerinden birisi de Kibyra Antik Kenti’dir. Kentin birçok noktasında devam eden kazılarda, Doğu Roma dönemine tarihlendirilmiş bir Bazilika Planlı Kilise açığa çıkarılmış ve mezar yapıları tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada çıkartılan insan iskeletlerinin antropolojik analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. 2019 ve 2020 yıllarında gerçekleştirilen kazılarda toplam 56 birey tespit edilmiştir. Bireylerin cinsiyet ve yaşları belirlenip temel demografik bilgileri ortaya konulduktan sonra boy uzunlukları ve patolojik durumları da incelenerek sağlık durumları ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Demografik veriler kentin farklı alanlarında çıkarılan ve önceki çalışmalarla ortaya konulan sonuçlar ile karşılaştırıldığında, kiliseye gömülen bireylerin ölüm yaşı aralığı veya cinsiyet dağılımı bakımından özel bir durumlarının olmadığını göstermektedir. Bireylerin ağız sağlıkları ile vücut kemiklerinde gözlenen patolojik durumlar da diğer çalışmalar ile uyumlu olmakla beraber bir bireyde gözlenen araknoid granülasyon kent için yeni bir bilgi konumundadır. Ayrıca başka bir bireyde tespit edilen kafatası kültürel deformasyon izi de bölge insanının kültürel yaşamına dair yeni bilgileri ortaya koymaktadır. Kentte devam eden kazılar ile kent insanın geçirdiği fiziksel değişim çok daha iyi ortaya konulacaktır.

It is critical to develop new insulating materials that can improve the performance of next generation high voltage cables for creating future electrical networks. The high electric field reduces the resistance of solid insulation and produces partial discharge through imperfections in a dielectric, causing the dielectric to age and eventually fail. Thus, this project seeks to analyse the electric field intensity of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) in breakdown condition when added with 10g, 20g and 30g of different types of bio-filler such as coconut coir fibre, pineapple leaves fibre, and oil palm empty fruit bunch. This can be achieved by creating a two-dimensional (2D) axisymmetric electrostatic model by using the Finite Element Method Magnetics (FEMM) 4.2 software. The results showed that the unfilled HDPE biocomposites have a higher electric field intensity than 10g, 20g, and 30g biocomposite. This indicates that the maximum electric field intensity changes according to the permittivity and voltage of the bio-filler under breakdown conditions. As a result, the maximum electric field intensity was much lower for HDPE added with a 20g of the pineapple leaves fibre. Hence, pineapple leaves fibre was the best composition as it tends to improve the dielectricproperties since it has a lower electric field intensity at the top electrode as compared to other compositions.

Published: September 2023

Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) is a well-known computer vision approach successfully applied for various classification and recognition problems. It has an outstanding power to identify patterns in 1D and 2D data. Though invented in 80’s, it became hugely successful after LeCun’s work on digit identification. Several CNN based models have been developed to record splendid performance on ImageNet and other databases. Ability of the CNN in learning complex features at different hierarchy from the data had made it the most successful among deep learning algorithms. Innovative architectural designs and hyper parameteroptimization have greatly improved the efficiency of CNN in pattern recognition. This review majorly focuses on the evolution and history of CNN models. Landmark CNN architectures are discussed with their categorization depending on various parameters. In addition, this also explores the architectural details of different layers, activation function, optimizers and other hyperparameters used by CNN. Review concludes by shedding the light on the applications and observations to be considered while designing the network.

Promotion of Tutelary Democracy as a Social Engineering Project by a Political Intellectual Movement
Authors: Bilici İlhan
Published: September 2023

Although the widely-accepted definition of democracy ensures governing people for the people by the people, it has been reinterpreted by the Turkish left, and it has been noted that real democracy can only be sustained via a socialist revolution. Yön Journal has gained a critical place in reinterpreting the classical definition of democracy and pioneered the construction of a socijalist ideology blended with the principles of Kemalism and nationalism. Realizing the key role of Yön Journal in Turkey’s road to democracy, this study aimed to explore how the essence of democracy was considered within the journal and what identifying characteristics the concept of democracy had within the framework of Yön Journal. In line with this purpose, grounded theory was adopted as the research methodology, and all authored and anonymous articles in 222 issues of the journal were examined through the constant comparative method and hermeneutic approach. The results revealed that Yöncüler attributed a tutelary feature to the quintessence of democracy. Correspondingly, it was concluded that the socialist ideology adopted in Yön Journal pursued a tutelary democracy, and Yöncüler did not build tutelary ideology only on the inadequacy of the people, but also on the need for a leading cadre.
Accumulate but Distribute: Islamic Emphasis on the Establishment of Waqf (Pious Endowment)
Authors: Dallh Minlib
Published: September 2023

Islamic jurisprudence and scriptural tradition have numerous compulsory and voluntary obligations to provide a safety net for the less fortunate in their communities. One particularly important instrument for solidarity and social development is the establishment of waqf (charitable trust or pious endowed property). Among many charitable faith-based organizations and institutions, waqf is an important option available to devout Muslims concerned with care for the poor and the earth, closeness to and love of God, as well as love of kin and neighbour. In this paper, I first present the institution of waqf and how it functioned historically. Second, I point to the crucial role of women as founders and managers of waqf. Third, I examine waqf amidst the whirlwind of modernity and colonialism. In conclusion, I affirm the significance of waqf today for Muslim societies in difficult political and socio-economic situations.

Objetivo:Avaliar o perfil de solicitações de medicamentos não padronizados solicitados no Complexo Hospital de Clínicas da Universidade Federal do Paraná (CHC-UFPR) no ano de 2021. Métodos:Foi conduzido um estudo transversal retrospectivo.Para a coleta de dados foram utilizados os formulários de Solicitações de Medicamentos Não Padronizados (SMNP) que foram solicitadas pelo prescritor do CHC-UFPR e encaminhadas ao setor de dispensação em janeiro a dezembro de 2021.Os dados foram coletados no programa Microsoft Excel e foi conduzida uma análise descritiva, expressa em gráficos e tabelas. Resultados: 482 formulários foram incluídos para análise. Destes, 261 (54,15%) eram do sexo feminino, com média de idade de 43,46 anos (desvio padrão 22,95). Foram solicitados 139 formulários para idosos e 69 para pediatria. O mês com mais solicitações foi outubro (60 formulários). O medicamento mais solicitado foi a dexmedetomidina 200 mcg f/a (197 formulários), seguido do sugamadex sodico 200mg f/a 2mL (88 formulários). A unidade que mais solicitou SMNP foi o Centro cirúrgico (176 formulários), seguido da unidade de terapia intensiva Geral (36 formulários). Foi verificado que 35 SMNP foram negadas (7,26%). E foi constatado que 84,85% dos medicamentos foram dispensados no mesmo dia da solicitação. O custo do CHC-UFPR no ano de 2021 com os medicamentos não padronizados foi de R$ 512.033,82 (104,306). E foi verificado que a maioria dos medicamentos (71,43%) não está incorporado no SUS. Conclusão: O estudo demonstrou que o medicamento dexmedetomidina foi o mais requisitado no ano de 2021, portanto sugere-se avaliar a sua padronização. Portanto, concluise que a lista de medicamentos padronizados deve ser constantemente revista e atualizada para a inclusão de novos medicamentos. Deste modo, a análise das solicitações de medicamentos não padronizados é uma importante ferramenta para consulta de possíveis candidatos a padronização.
Do More Disaggregated Electoral Results Deter Aggregation Fraud?
Authors: Rueda Miguel Robayo , Grossman Guy , Ge Shuning
Published: September 2023

The level at which electoral results are published can arguably affect the integrity of elections. Publishing more granular results (e.g., at the polling station level) can allow civil society watchdogs to verify the vote totals that determine election outcomes, thereby deterring voting aggregation fraud. While this logic undergirds the recommendations of international organizations monitoring elections to publish disaggregated electoral results, to date there have not been systematic assessments of how variation in aggregation is linked to electoral miscounting. We address this lacuna by constructing a new dataset of the level at which electoral results have been reported in 123 low- and middle-income countries since 2000. We find a clear negative association between the granularity of published electoral returns and indicators of counting irregularities. We do not observe substitution of election malpractice: increased granularity is not linked to expert-based indicators of other forms of manipulation like electoral violence, or clientelism.
Does Physical Activity Improve Sustained Attention in Adults with ADHD?
Authors: Tiernan Jake , McGovern David
Published: September 2023

Physical activity has been shown to improve cognitive performance in children with ADHD. However, it is unknown whether this effect translates to adults with ADHD. The current study aimed to establish whether there is a link between high physical activity and better sustained attention in adults with ADHD. 12 adults with ADHD and 24 neurotypical controls completed a gradual contrast-change detection task designed to measure sustained attention and were subsequently split into low and high physical activity subgroups based on self-reported physical activity levels. No significant differences in sustained attention were found between the low and high physical activity subgroups in individuals with or without ADHD. However, reaction time variability was found to be significantly lower in individuals with ADHD. These findings suggest that the effect of physical activity on sustained attention may not be as pronounced in adults with ADHD as compared to children.
The association between political orientation and political knowledge in 45 nations
Authors: De keersmaecker Jonas , Schmid Katharina , Sibley Chris G , Osborne Danny
Published: September 2023

Political knowledge is crucial for well-functioning democracies, with most scholars assuming that people at the political extremes are more knowledgeable than those at the center. Here, we adopt a data-driven approach to examine the relationship between political orientation and political knowledge by testing a series of polynomial curves in 45 countries (N = 63,544), spread over 6 continents. Contrary to the dominant perspective, we found no evidence that people at the political extremes are the most knowledgeable about politics. Rather, the most common pattern was a fourth-degree polynomial association in which those who are moderately left-wing and right-wing are more knowledgeable than people at the extremes and center of the political spectrum. This pattern was especially, though not exclusively, prevalent in Western countries. We conclude that the relationship between political orientation and political knowledge is more context-dependent and complex than assumed, and caution against (implicit) universal conclusions in social sciences.
Individual differences in wellbeing dynamics: a genetically-informed comparison of Ecological Momentary Assessment and longitudinal survey data
Authors: de Vries Lianne P. , Bartels Meike
Published: September 2023

Variability in wellbeing over time is related to mental health and can be measured at different timescales. Long-term wellbeing dynamics, assessed via longitudinal surveys, capture stability and change over months or years, while short-term dynamics, via Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA), provide insights over moments or days. We investigated wellbeing dynamics at different timescales, using longitudinal data (N=15,323, including 2784 complete twin pairs) and EMA data (N=817, including 149 complete twin pairs) from the Netherlands Twin Register. Individuals with higher overall wellbeing, based on the average of longitudinal surveys, had lower variability over years, while short-term variability over one week was unrelated to overall wellbeing. Twin models estimated the heritability of long-term wellbeing intensity and variability at 43% (95%CI: 39-46%) and 12% (95%CI: 8-17%), respectively. MZ twin correlations indicated genetic influences on short-term positive and negative affect intensity (rMZ=.51 and .42) and variability (rMZ=.37 and .18). Heritability estimates should be interpreted with caution because of limited complete twin pairs, but were 51%, 41%, and 38% for positive and negative affect intensity and positive affect variability, respectively, whereas negative affect variability was influenced by shared (22%) and unique environment (78%). These findings highlight the importance of examining wellbeing at different timescales.
Score-Based Tests with Fixed Effects Person Parameters in Item Response Theory: Detecting Model Misspecification Including Differential Item Functioning
Authors: Debelak Rudolf , Driver Charles C
Published: September 2023

We develop an approximation to score-based tests for item response theory models that treat the person parameters as fixed effects, which are important for large data and item counts where typical approaches can be too slow. Our approximation allows computationally inexpensive tests for differential item function and other model misspecifications in sufficiently long tests, in that score contributions are leveraged and comparison models are not required. We outline the theoretical framework and adapt it to two recently proposed consistent methods of parameter estimation, constrained joint maximum likelihood estimation and a joint maximum a posteriori approach. A key benefit of the approach is that, in contrast to earlier score-based test approaches, the prior for person parameters does not need to be specified precisely. We use simulations to evaluate the new method for detecting violations of measurement invariance in the two-parametric logistic test model. The new approximation is sensitive to violations of measurement invariance while having a sufficiently low Type I error rate in large samples and tests. We demonstrate the new method in an empirical data set examining reading performance, from the Mindsteps online learning platform.

Published: September 2023

Adverse sexual experiences, such as sexual violence and regretted sex, are highly prevalent among college students, and are associated with increased mental health symptoms and decreased use of protective behavioral strategies (PBS). The current study developed and validated an updated measure of dating and sexual PBS: the Sexual and Negative Dating Inventory (SANDI). Data was examined from n=1,298 individuals at baseline and n=336 at one-month. Individuals were 19.59 (2.90 SD) years old, primarily women (64.28%), non-Hispanic (68.90%) and white (71.42%). Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling identified a 24-item measure with five-factors: Location Sharing, Assertiveness, Self-Protection, Risk Reduction, and Privacy. The model revealed good fit to the data: χ2(242) = 2115.52, p < .001, CFI = .977, RMSEA = .077 (90% CI = .074, .080), SRMR = .043. Test-retest reliability revealed acceptable reliability of 0.74 at follow-up. Overall, the SANDI showed acceptable reliability and adequate convergent and discriminant validity among college students.

Published: September 2023

Uterine prolapses sporadically present to bovine practitioners. Exposing veterinary students to this is challenging due to the inability to replicate a live animal prolapses in a teaching environment. The objective of this study was to develop a model that represents each step of the process of correcting a uterine prolapse and to perform a validation study of the model and rubric used to score performance using a skill comparison between experienced veterinarians and novices (students). The model was designed and built, and 27 students and 18 bovine veterinarians were recruited to participate in the evaluation of this model. Each participant performed each step of the model while being video recorded. Following model use, all participants completed a survey on their prior experiences and opinions of the model. Videos were viewed, and performances scored by one author using a rubric. Opinions on the model were mostly favorable in regard to use and realistic experience. There was no significant difference between the scores of veterinarians and veterinary students. However, there was an association with an excellent level of global rating scores for veterinarians while the veterinary student participants were associated with borderline satisfactory to good competency levels except for the epidural. There was a statistically significant association between the global rating scores and the check list competency levels. The lack of significant difference may be attributed to students previous experiences Based on feedback from the survey responses, the model will be used in clinical skills labs to provide experience in this area.

Tsunamis in Italy and the Mediterranean - Between Perception and Historical Reconstruction
Authors: Palmieri Walter
Published: September 2023

The tragedies of great earthquake waves in Southeast Asia (Indonesia 2004 and Japan 2011) led to the entry into the common lexicon of a new word - 'tsunami' - which was before then confined within the boundaries of science. The exoticism of the term and the geographical distance of these disasters were both reassuring elements for public opinion in Italy and elsewhere, and several statistical studies show that Italian people have a low level of hazard awareness. Yet many tsunamis have occurred in the Mediterranean Sea, and more specifically along the Italian coast, over the centuries. The aim of this work is therefore to identify the main catastrophic events of the Mare Nostrum and the way these tsunamis were perceived by people at the time.
Will the Nile River Turn into a Lake? The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance (GERD) Dam Case-Study
Authors: Quagliarotti Desirée A.l.
Published: September 2023

Today, many scholars agree that changes in water availability triggered by population growth, economic development and climate change impact will increase competition between water users, making conflict more likely, especially in those countries that lack the financial, technical and governance capacities to address water-related challenge and/or in river basin riparian states that share common water resources. As early as 2012, the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), analysing the water issue at a regional and global level, concluded that, while water-related state-on-state conflict is unlikely to occur during the next ten years, the problem is projected to get worse in the near future. Starting from the historical reconstruction and the geopolitical repercussions of the water dispute in the Nile River Basin and focusing on the case of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), this article aims to analyse the political, socio-economic and environmental changes that are affecting upstream countries and to detect how these new dynamics are challenging both the balance of power and the ongoing cooperation process in the region.
Dammed Waterways and a Colonial Legacy: Statutory Law-Making in the Conservancy of Indian Fisheries, 1867-1897
Authors: Sivramkrishna Sashi , Jyotishi Amalendu
Published: September 2023

Through an exploration of events that unfolded from the earliest calls for conservancy of Indian fisheries under the British colonial government in 1867 to the passing of a statutory law in 1897, we argue that colonial law-making was a non-linear and complex evolutionary, rather than transformational process. The basis and blueprint for a statutory law in India can be traced to similar concerns in the over-exploitation of riverine fish in Britain as well as to the implementation of Indian forest laws at about the same time. Moreover, the process had to deal with personalities and their claims for recognition while the colonial government sought legitimacy to exert control over resources by appointing highly competent and commended individuals. Concerns over food security as well as the possibility of resistance of the local population could have impelled the need for caution in implementing statutory laws, which may have ultimately resulted in a delay of three decades before the Indian Fisheries Act was finally passed in 1897.
Anemia por deficiencia de hierro y caries de infancia temprana: Revisión de la Literatura
Authors: Vicuña Huaqui Luis Antonio , López Ramos Roxana Patricia , Castro Pérez Jorge Guillermo
Published: September 2023

El objetivo de esta revisión es describir la relación bidireccional entre la caries de infancia temprana (CIT) y la anemia  por deficiencia de hierro. Se consultaron bases de datos como Medline, Science Direct y Scopus; se incluyeron revisiones sistemáticas y metaanálisis, ensayos clínicos, estudio de casos y controles y estudios transversales. El incremento del nivel de citoquinas (IL-6 e IL-1) asociado a inflamación crónica por caries dental reduce la absorción intestinal de hierro (Fe) y la masticación deficiente asociado al dolor, disminuye la ingesta y trituración de alimentos con Fe. A nivel de esmalte, el Fe forma una capa resistente a la desmineralización e inhibe la colonización bacteriana, reemplaza el calcio en la hidroxiapatita; una reducción de Fe sistémico se asocia con alteración de la función secretora de las glándulas salivales, pigmentación dentaria alterada, reducción de capa ácido protectora. Se concluye que la CIT es un factor de riesgo en el desarrollo de anemia ferropénica y el hierro tiene un papel sobre la actividad de la caries dental;sin embargo, aún es necesario desarrollar mayores estudios de corte longitudinal.

Authors: BULCA SOKUR Betül , DİRİM Tuğçe
Published: September 2023

In this paper, we study the conchodial surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean space with the condition $\Delta x_{i}=\lambda _{i}x_{i}$ where $\Delta $ denotes the Laplace operator with respect to the first fundamental form. We obtain the classification theorem for these surfaces satisfying under this condition. Furthermore, we have given some special cases for the classification theorem by giving the radius function $r(u,v)$ with respect to the parameters $u$ and $v$.
Analysis of Bus Vulnerability Conducted Using a Synchronized Phasor Measurement Unit in Order to Achieve the Maximum Observability
Authors: Babu Rohit , Gupta Vikash Kumar
Published: September 2023

Phasor measurement units (PMUs) have gained significant interest in recent decades. These instruments are used to measure synchronized phasor data. PMUs are gradually but definitely taking over power grids because of the significant phasor information that they generate for both regular and irregular conditions for the purpose of maintaining safety and control. PMUs may be used for a variety of purposes, including state estimation, which is a common task. In order to make state estimation more reliable, a variety of approaches have been looked into, and one of them is the positioning of PMUs. This paper provides a plan for the implementation of the PMUs, taking into account the potential for failure and vulnerability posed by PMU-equipped buses. Two separate studies were carried out and evaluated with the goal of solving the optimum PMU placement problem (OPPP), which pertains to the grids. The findings of the first study show that the maximum bus observability may be accomplished with the fewest possible number of PMUs, even while taking into consideration the fact that there is a risk that one or more PMUs would malfunction. This investigation was carried out with common measures such as zero injection bus (ZIB) and branch flow measurements, both with and without them, in order to assess the outcomes. The second research focused on selecting the PMU-equipped bus’s vulnerability analysis as its primary area of investigation. All of the tests were completed by using binary integer linear programming. Specifically, the described method is meant to be used with an existing PMU framework and in the case that new locations for new PMUs are necessary to be furnished with existing PMUs. This results confirm that the recommended strategy can be implemented successfully on the IEEE benchmark test systems.

The Mediterranean diet as a healthy dietary model and its impact on the immune system and intestinal microbiota
Authors: Salazar Patricio , Pedreañez Adriana
Published: September 2023

The relationship between nutrition and immunity is very complex, because each phase of the immune response can be affected by the lack of essential nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. In addition, it has been described that the most prevalent non-communicable diseases worldwide, such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases and cancer, underlie the activation of inflammatory mechanisms, which can compromise immune functions, often caused or accompanied by alterations in nutritional patterns and intestinal microbiota. In this context, it is clear that diet is a key modulator of the immune system and much interest is emerging in the area of nutrition as a means of treatment and prevention. The Mediterranean diet has been widely described as positively influencing and is proposed not only as a potential tool in the clinical management of different diseases, but also for global health promotion. Therefore, the aim of this review is to address the current knowledge on the regulatory role of the nutritional components present in the Mediterranean diet on the immune system and the intestinal microbiota.

Después de 30 años de Presupuestos Participativos (PP), ha habido muchos experimentos y pocos diagnósticos. Pero, ¿cómo evaluar una experiencia de presupuesto participativo sin un modelo de evaluación propio? El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar el PP de la ciudad española de Zaragoza utilizando un modelo desarrollado por los propios investigadores. El método implicó un modelo sintético para evaluar el caso práctico con información empírica obtenida mediante observación directa, entrevista estructurada y análisis de fuentes secundarias. Los resultados aportan una importante innovación: un área e indicadores relacionados con el diseño y la planificación. Los resultados aportan la medición de 105 indicadores agrupados en 35 alcances, 15 criterios y cuatro esferas. El resultado fue una valoración positiva, media-alta, de la experiencia.

Presently, shortening the time-to-result of antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) is of the utmost importance for sepsis management in an effort to reduce mortality and antibiotic resistance rate. HB&L ((Human Biological Liquid Culture), a product of the Alifax company (Italy), can detect replicating microorganisms and their antibiotic resistance in a few hours with high sensitivity and specificity by using light scattering technique. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between rapid antibiogram using the HB&L system and the routine methods on positive blood cultures at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in Ho Chi Minh City from March 2020 to April 2021. Gram-positive bacteria blood samples were tested against Cefoxitin, Vancomycin while Gram-negative bacteria samples were trialed with Ceftriaxone, Levofloxacin, Piperacillin-Tazobactam and Meropenem. The concordance of the two methods was defined by the categorical agreement (CA), very major errors (VME), major errors (ME) and minor errors (mE) in Cumitech 31A. Of the 81 blood culture samples containing Gram-negative bacteria, the CA of Ceftriaxone, Meropenem, Levofloxacin and Piperacillin-Tazobactam were 90%, 100%, 67% and 88%. The maximum VME was 22% for Levofloxacin. On the other hand, of the 32 Gram-positive samples, CA and VME of Cefoxitin were 53% and 65% respectively while CA of Vancomycin was 100%. The median time to receive rapid AST results of the HB&L system is 4.43 hours faster than the standard that.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a malignant tumor that often metastasizes early. About 33% of RCC patients present with metastatic masses, mostly in the lungs. Our patient was a 66-year-old woman who had a left-sided nephrectomy for RCC 26 years ago. Before the current presentation, she sought medical advice for about a year because of her easy fatigability, which was attributed to her normocytic normochromic anemia. Incidentally, a mass was discovered in each lung, which was found histopathologically and immunohistochemically to be a metastasis of RCC. The patient received sunitinib, which is the standard treatment for patients with advanced RCC and metastases without benefit at initial doses and cycles. Consequently, the dose was increased up to 4 times the initial dose, and by the third cycle, side effects appeared in the form of impaired consciousness up to deep coma, hypertension, hypercarotenemia, pancytopenia, hyponatremia, hypokalemia, and subclinical hypothyroidism. She was taken to the hospital and then sadly passed away.
Evidence for immunothrombosis according to some markers of thromboinflammation in women with unexplained recurrent reproductive failures
Authors: Alphonsus Ogbonna Ogbuabor
Published: September 2023

Background: Unexplained recurrent reproductive failures (URRF) is a term that describes three different conditions of infertility, namely unexplained infertility (UI), unexplained recurrent miscarriage,and unexplained recurrent implantation failures. It is a global reproductive health problem. The aim of the present study was to compare some systemic markers of thromboinflammation in women with URRF to controls. Materials and Methods: This was a case–control study involving 70 subjects (35 cases of URRF and 35 healthy control women). The systemic cellular markers of immunothrombosis involving the platelet count, mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), plateletcrit (PCT), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio were determined using the Sysmex XN-10 Automated Hematology Analyzer, Sysmex Corporations Japan. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance in GraphPad Prism version 8.0 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA, USA) and presented as mean±standard deviation. Statistical significance was defined as p<0.05. Results: The MPV, PDW, and NLR were significantly increased (p=0.002, 0.007, and 0.028), respectively, in the subjects with URRF compared to the healthy controls. Conclusion: This finding supports evidence for immunothrombosis in patients with URRF.
