Isolation of Alkaloids from Medicinal Plants and Its Antidiabetic Activities
Authors: Saroj Kumari Sushma , Vidyarthi Sanjeev Kumar , Singh Hari Mohan Prasad
Published: September 2024

Recent epidemiological data suggest that diabetes mellitus is the most prevalent endocrine disorder. This metabolic condition affects a significant proportion of the global population and is currently ranked as the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing. In the United States, over 10% of the population is affected by this condition. Traditional medicine holds promise in the treatment of diabetes mellitus, with phytochemicals being considered a safer alternative to synthetic drugs due to their lack of side effects. Alkaloids, a major class of natural products, and their derivatives have been extensively utilized as sources of pharmacological agents for various medical conditions. Numerous studies have emphasized the effectiveness of alkaloids in managing diabetes, with several alkaloids isolated from medicinal plants exhibiting activity against the disease. A comprehensive analysis of alkaloids with antidiabetic properties and their target enzymes has been conducted to further explore the potential of alkaloids as antidiabetic agents. Future research endeavors should focus on conducting robust clinical trials on alkaloids, their formulation, and relevant drug targets.

Authors: Kaushik Gaurav , Vashishtha Richa , Verma Chaitenya , Sharma Shipra , Yadav Raj Narayan
Published: September 2024

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an important role in pathogen detection because they selectively attach to different microbial species, triggering both innate and adaptive immune responses to infections. Since their discovery, a growing body of evidence suggests that TLRs play an important role in retroviral infection and disease progression. The investigations show that many Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a role in the immune response to retroviruses. Furthermore, the interaction of retroviruses and TLRs may have complex and diverse impacts on the infection. Although there has been improvement, many questions remain about the role of TLRs in retroviral infection. This chapter gives a succinct review of current knowledge about the interactions between TLRs and retroviruses, as well as the specific roles these receptors play in immune response and disease development, with a focus on the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Unveiling Lung Cancer: Understanding, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Future Frontiers
Authors: Kumar Naveen , Singh Gurpreet
Published: September 2024

Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of its etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and emerging therapeutic frontiers. This abstract aims to elucidate the complexities of lung cancer, focusing on its underlying genetic and environmental factors, advancements in diagnostic techniques, and evolving treatment modalities. The pathogenesis of lung cancer is intricately linked to genetic mutations, such as those in the EGFR, ALK, and KRAS genes, alongside environmental triggers like smoking and air pollution. Diagnostic innovations, including liquid biopsies and advanced imaging techniques, have significantly improved early detection, facilitating timely and targeted interventions. Treatment paradigms have shifted from conventional chemotherapy to precision medicine approaches, including targeted therapies and immunotherapy, which offer tailored treatment based on specific genetic alterations and tumor characteristics. These novel therapies have demonstrated improved survival rates and quality of life for patients, particularly in advanced stages of the disease. Despite these advancements, challenges such as drug resistance and the need for personalized treatment strategies persist. Future research is directed towards overcoming these hurdles through the development of next-generation therapeutics, exploration of combination therapies, and the integration of artificial intelligence in diagnostic and treatment planning. As our understanding of lung cancer deepens, the integration of cutting-edge science with clinical practice promises to enhance outcomes and pave the way for more effective management of this formidable disease
Rabies in a domestic cat in Niagara: An environmental health perspective
Authors: Fawcett Karin , DeGiuli Joe
Published: September 2024

On Friday June 16, 2023 at 4:00 pm, Niagara Region Public Health & Emergency Services (NRPH&ES) received notification of a rabies positive result for a cat that they had submitted for rabies testing earlier that week. The investigation revealed that it was a domestic cat from an urban area in St. Catharines that had been around numerous people and other animals during its infectious period. As part of the follow-up, NRPH&ES contacted all potential exposures, coordinated vaccination for those that required it and collaborated with other agencies to ensure the safety of all those involved. In addition, NRPH&ES navigated working with vaccine hesitant clients who were uncooperative in providing details pertaining to people who may have been in contact with the rabid cat, other animals living in the household, and ultimately reluctant to receive rabies post exposure prophylaxis (rPEP). Through innovation, unconventional methods and deviation from standard practice, NRPH&ES was able to build a trusting relationship with all clients, gather the information they required to conduct a fulsome investigation, and vaccinate and confine the other animal exposed to the rabid cat.

Reflections: Language Arts for ALL Children
Authors: Song Kwangok
Published: September 2024

This qualitative case study examined how a Korean immigrant family organized and arranged language and literacy practices to promote the focal child’s biliteracy development. The parents selected activities to support the focal child’s learning in her two languages. They also developed various strategies from their experiences and beliefs and sought resources in the community. Alternating their two languages and translation facilitated the focal child’s learning as she and her parents engaged in negotiating and refining meaning. The findings of this study encourage educators to become aware of immigrant parents’ efforts to support their children’s learning in their two languages. Furthermore, this study urges educators to cultivate collaboration across schools, families, and communities to support bilingual students’ literacy learning in their two languages.
Addressing Stereotypes by Moving Along the Continuum of Cultural Proficiency
Authors: Ward Cheryl James
Published: September 2024

Programs to help middle school students deal with racism and hate have been in place for some years, yet almost monthly we hear of students committing suicide or killing other students due to issues of isolation or harassment. Within the confines of a safe classroom, doctoral students in Educational Leadership addressed issues of stereotypes and the pain that comes with stereotyping groups of people. It focuses on the use of cultural proficiency as a means of developing a total school culture—programs, staff, students—that embraces all students and their cultures. This article provides suggestions for moving everyone involved in the school along the cultural proficiency continuum.
Tolerance to Alliance: Deconstructing Dichotomies to Advocate for All Students
Authors: Berg Margaret
Published: September 2024

This article argues that teachers in the twenty-first century need to incorporate queer theory into their teaching practice and their discussions about individual differences in order to advocate for those students most likely to be bullied in schools. It provides a brief background on queer theory, gives an introduction to central ideas of the theory connecting them to bullied teens, and suggests immediate steps that can be taken to foster a more inclusive learning environment. The key points are:

•—Sexual/gender identities are not inherent; teens explore them online.

•—Queer theory is not just about “gay” people.

•—Transformational teaching “makes it better.”

•—Change must be enacted now; eight suggestions are offered.
Philosophy in prison
Authors: McCabe M.M.
Published: September 2024

The UK prison system is in crisis: overcrowded, understaffed, ill fitted to whatever purpose imprisonment might be intended to have. Prison education is particularly under pressure, especially since a majority of prisoners are functionally illiterate. The charity Philosophy in Prison seeks to address the complex problems of prison education by offering philosophical conversations in prisons: oral, so accessible to most, but driven by difficult philosophical questions that are puzzling to anyone. This process faces down the disadvantage suffered by many within the criminal justice system, that their voices are not heard (the problem of epistemic injustice). For these conversations have an equalising effect, since the problems they address are puzzling to anyone, whether new to it or expert. That general puzzlement allows the participant both to see the viewpoints of others, and to have their own viewpoint seen by others. This matters: it shows each prisoner that they do have standing, in themselves, after all.

Desempenho das cooperativas de crédito em um contexto de pandemia: análise das centrais Sicoob de Minas Gerais
Authors: Santos Marianne Cristina da Silva Reis , Gonçalves Rosiane Maria Lima
Published: September 2024

O cooperativismo de crédito tem ampliado sua importância no mercado de crédito dada sua capilaridade, juros e taxas mais acessíveis. Diante da importância no mercado financeiro essas instituições devem ter um acompanhamento de desempenho que contribua para aperfeiçoar a gestão. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho consistiu em avaliar o desempenho econômico-financeiro das cooperativas de crédito vinculadas aos sistemas Sicoob Crediminas e Cecremge do estado de Minas Gerais, no período pré e no decorrer da pandemia Covid 19. Os dados foram coletados no site do Banco Central do Brasil, considerando o período de 2018/I a 2022/I. Para análise foi utilizado a metodologia PEARLS, estatística descritiva e teste T. Os principais resultados indicaram mudanças em alguns indicadores das centrais no decorrer da pandemia Covid 19, como a redução do volume de créditos mais arriscados pela Crediminas, tornando o volume de provisionamentos estatisticamente igual ao da Cecremge no período pandêmico. As despesas administrativas foram reduzidas, o que pode ter sido decorrente das medidas restritivas e aumentaram a utilização de recursos próprios para financiar os ativos, o que contraria as recomendações da WOCCU.
Cooperativismo de plataforma: uma proposta de tipologia organizacional
Authors: Silveira Alexandre Borba da , Wegner Douglas
Published: September 2024

O cooperativismo de plataforma tem sido considerado uma alternativa a economia de plataforma controladas por big techs. Estas plataformas têm, a priori, impactos socioeconômicos mais benéficos e solidários pois envolvem modelos de gestão mais democráticos, equânimes e participativos. Contudo, a literatura existente avalia estas plataformas como instâncias de um fenómeno homogéneo específico. Este artigo propõe a existência de diferentes tipos de plataformas digitais cooperativas suportadas pela teoria das organizações parciais, utilizando uma tipologia organizada em quatro quadrantes. Para estruturar esse mapeamento, consolidamos as definições e os principais elementos do conceito de organizações parciais, ilustrando a proposta com casos exemplificativos. O estudo contribui para o campo da gestão organizacional, das plataformas digitais e das organizações cooperativas, abrindo novas perspectivas de estudo e desvendando a existência de uma grande variedade de modelos de plataformas digitais cooperativas. A tipologia também estimula futuros estudos empíricos para verificar a relevância do mapeamento proposto.
Determinantes da divulgação dos objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável nos websites dos municípios portugueses
Authors: Monteiro Sónia , Ribeiro Veronica , Gomes Patricia
Published: September 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as práticas de divulgação relacionadas aos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) na Internet, bem como identificar os principais impulsionadores da divulgação de ODS nos websites dos municípios portugueses. Foi adotada uma metodologia qualitativa através da análise de conteúdo de todas as 308 páginas da web dos municípios portugueses. Com base nos pressupostos teóricos das teorias de legitimidade e dos stakeholders, associamos a divulgação dos ODS com algumas características dos municípios (como localização e tamanho) e com o uso da plataforma ODSLocal. Os nossos resultados indicam que apenas um quarto dos municípios menciona os ODS nos seus websites. Nenhuma mensagem dos presidentes menciona os ODS. Apenas 10 entidades têm um separador no website para divulgar informações relacionadas com os ODS. A maioria das informações é genérica e não se refere a ODS específicos. Quase 64% dos municípios que divulgam informações relacionadas aos ODS fazem-no nas notícias. Os resultados indicam que municípios do litoral e de maior dimensão são mais propensos à divulgação sobre os ODS; por outro lado, o uso da plataforma local ODS não parece influenciar o relato.

Authors: David Fátima , Rodrigues Pedro , Soares Elisabete , Monteiro Elisabete , Melo Nuno , Gregório Jorge , Rodrigues Ricardo
Published: September 2024

Esta investigação tem por objetivo identificar as melhores soluções para implementar sistemas de recolha de biorresíduos num conjunto de municípios da Região Centro de Portugal, dos distritos de Castelo Branco e da Guarda, através da reciclagem na origem e/ou da recolha seletiva, no sentido de valorizar e reduzir os impactes ambientais deste tipo de resíduos. A reciclagem na origem e a recolha seletiva diferenciam-se pelo seu método de tratamento: a primeira recorre a compostores domésticos, compostores comunitários e biocompostores, responsabilizando os cidadãos pelo tratamento dos seus biorresíduos; e a segunda consiste no processo de recolha seletiva dos resíduos sólidos, separados por tipo de material (vidro, papel, plástico, biorresíduos, entre outros) para que possam ser reciclados pelas infraestruturas disponibilizadas pelos municípios. Contudo, ambas as modalidades são complementares na resposta às necessidades económicas e ambientais da sociedade. Metodologicamente, desenvolve-se uma dupla abordagem: inicialmente efetua-se a revisão de literatura, com base na legislação que propõe medidas de proteção do ambiente e da saúde humana, por meio da prevenção ou redução de resíduos; e, posteriormente, uma análise estatística descritiva, suportada na informação disponibilizada pelo conjunto de municípios, que evidencia os recursos económico-financeiros necessários para suportar o investimento requerido num período de dez anos.

The Role of Participatory Management in Improving Teacher Performance and Student Achievement
Authors: Harianto Jakoep Ezra
Published: September 2024

This study explores the role of participatory management in fostering collaborative school cultures and its impact on improving teacher performance and student achievement. Collaborative school cultures, characterized by shared decision-making and collective responsibility, are essential for creating environments conducive to professional growth and enhanced learning outcomes. Participatory management, which emphasizes the involvement of teachers and staff in decision-making processes, is a key mechanism for cultivating such cultures. This research examines how participatory management practices influence teacher motivation, job satisfaction, and professional development, ultimately contributing to improved performance in the classroom. Furthermore, it investigates the connection between collaborative cultures and student achievement, exploring how teacher collaboration, professional learning communities, and joint problem-solving enhance instructional quality and student outcomes. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through surveys, interviews, and classroom observations in a sample of schools implementing participatory management strategies. The findings reveal that schools with strong collaborative cultures experience higher levels of teacher engagement, professional commitment, and instructional innovation, which positively impact student academic performance. This study underscores the importance of participatory management as a strategic approach to building collaborative school cultures that support both teacher and student success. The implications of these findings suggest that educational leaders should prioritize inclusive decision-making practices and foster environments where teachers can collaborate, share expertise, and work towards common educational goals. The study concludes with recommendations for policymakers and school administrators to adopt participatory management frameworks as a means to improve overall school performance and create sustainable, high-achieving learning communities.

Authors: Nasher Abeer Abdulmahamood Mohammed , Al-Shamahy Hassan A , Al-Jaufy Ahmed Y , Al-Ankoshy Azhar Azher Mohammed , Al-Shamahi Emad Hassan
Published: September 2024

Background: Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a global issue of concern due to its association with economic costs, sexually transmitted infections, and ascending genital tract infection. The aim of this study was to determine clinical signs and species distribution of Candida species causing vulvovaginal candidiasis.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from December to June 2021-2024 among 400 women attending Obstetrics and Gynecology outpatient clinics in Sana'a City. The study involved collecting vaginal swabs from each participant and analyzing them in a microbiology laboratory. The swabs were used to identify yeast cells, fungal culturing, and germ tube formation tests. The study also used the VITEK II system to confirm species identification, with the VITEK® 2 YST ID identification card being used to identify Candida species.
Results: A study of 400 women found that 91.8% were infected with Candida albicans, while 8.2% were infected with other non-Candida albicans. The majority were aged 26-35, with secondary education being the most common. Most were married, with 1-3 pregnancies. The most common sign distribution was vaginal discharge with a 99.5% prevalence. Dysuria was the lowest, with a 65.0% prevalence. Candida species were most frequently isolated, with Candida albicans being the most common. Candida tropicalis was found in 1 out of 6 women, while Candida dubliniensis, Candida famata, Candida glabrata, and Candida lusitaniae were found in 1 out of 6 women.
Conclusions: The high prevalence rate of vulvovaginal candidiasis and observation of a low prevalence rate of nonalbicans Candida species in the present study substantiate the importance of conducting continuous epidemiological surveys to measure changes in species distribution from C. albicans to non-albicans Candida species in Yemen.
“Vou aprender a ler pra ensinar meus camaradas”: a formação afro-popular e a construção de políticas públicas na práxis da professora Jeruse Romão
Authors: Nogueira Azânia Mahin Romão
Published: September 2024

Uma interpretação da realidade brasileira a partir do contexto da região sul do país leva em consideração os marcadores socioeconômicos, culturais e políticos que constituem esse território, bem como as estratégias específicas desenvolvidas pela população negra para a continuidade da histórica luta por uma vida com dignidade no Brasil. É nesse contexto histórico e geográfico que se desenvolve a formação afro-popular. Apesar de considerar a coletividade desse processo, como tudo construído por e para movimentos sociais, existem protagonistas que capitanearam as ações, a partir de suas práticas militantes. A escolha pela professora Jeruse Romão, dentre esse grupo em atividade em Santa Catarina desde os anos 1980, se dá pelo seu reconhecimento enquanto referência por militantes e intelectuais do movimento negro brasileiro. Com o presente artigo, tenho como motivação principal evidenciar a relevância da trajetória da professora Jeruse Romão não apenas para o movimento negro, mas, especialmente, para a educação brasileira. Assim, tenho como objetivo caracterizar as práticas educadoras da formação afro-popular, embasadas pelo pensamento negro no processo contra-colonial de construção de políticas públicas a serviço da justiça social. Acredito que esse movimento tem especial relevância no enfrentamento à invisibilização da população negra do Sul do Brasil, que não apenas existe e resiste, mas ativamente organiza e articula outras possibilidades de existência para além de uma sociedade racista.

Introduction: A reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a known risk factor for double valve replacement or aortic valve replacement in combination with concomitant mitral valve repair (DVR) and is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. In this study, we sought to analyze the 30-day mortality and long-term survival rates of patients with reduced LVEFs. Methods: A multicenter, retrospective, observational cohort study of patients who underwent DVR was performed at four centers from January 2016 to December 2021. LVEFs were categorized as 41%–50% (n = 120) or ≤40% (n = 58). For the effects of risk factors on 30-day mortality, binary logistic regression was performed. Survival rates were assessed with the Kaplan–Meier method. Results: A total of 178 patients who underwent DVR were included in this study, of whom 67.42% (n = 120) had LVEFs ranging from 41–50% and 32.58% (n = 58) had LVEFs ≤40%. More mechanical valves and tricuspid valve-forming rings were applied in the LVEF ≤40% group (68.97% versus 53.33%, p = 0.047; 31.03% versus 10.83%, p = 0.001). The 30-day mortality rates of DVR patients with LVEFs ranging from 41–50% and ≤40% were 8.33% and 17.24%, respectively (p = 0.078). During the follow-up period, there were no significant differences in long-term survival (log rank p = 0.75). On multivariable logistic regression analysis, age >65 years [odds ratio (OR): 5.559, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.668–18.524, p = 0.005] and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) duration >200 min (OR: 5.031, 95% CI: 1.773–14.277, p = 0.002) were significantly associated with the likelihood of 30-day mortality. Conclusions: Although the differences in 30-day mortality and long-term survival rates between DVR patients with LVEFs ranging from 41–50% and ≤40% were not statistically significant in our cohort, an age >65 years and a CPB duration >200 min were predictors of 30-day mortality.
Operatividade: uma possibilidade para a transdisciplinaridade
Authors: Machado João Carlos
Published: September 2024

O texto trata de possibilidades de relação entre as artes e outras disciplinas a partir da noção de operatividade proposta pelo autor, influenciada pela noção de imaginação material de Gaston Bachelard e pelas pesquisas práticas do autor em diversas linguagens artísticas. Para tanto, são analisadas algumas concepções históricas sobre as noções de composição, de processos criativos e de relação entre as artes, principalmente a partir do modernismo, de Kandinsky até integrantes do grupo Fluxus, considerando desde as abordagens de correspondências sensoriais até a intersecção das artes via os procedimentos utilizados pelos artistas. Buscando escapar das relações subordinadas entre as linguagens e reforçar o pensamento do fazer da arte como um campo específico e autônomo de saber, propõe algumas condições para a efetivação da transdisciplinaridade.
Palavras-chave: Processos de criação. Saber artístico. Relação entre as artes.
AbstractThe text deals with the possibilities of relationships between the arts and other disciplines based on the author’s notion of operability, influenced by Gaston Bachelard's notion of material imagination and by the author's practical research in different artistic languages. To this end, some historical conceptions about the notions of composition, creative processes and the relationship between the arts are analyzed, mainly from modernism's point of view, from Kandinsky to members of the Fluxus group, considering the sensorial correspondences approaches and the intersection of the arts by the procedures that artists use. Seeking to escape the subordinate relations between languages and reinforce the thought of making art as a specific and autonomous field of knowledge, this article proposes some conditions for the realization oftransdisciplinarity.

Helen e Newton Harrison na fronteira entre arte, ciência e natureza
Authors: De Melo Filho Claudio
Published: September 2024

No século 21, tornou-se extremamente difícil abordar assuntos relacionados à mudança social, política, cultural, tecnológica e econômica sem tecer referência às questões ambientais. Os estudos contemporâneos em arte, ciência e natureza, independentemente do tipo de abordagem, têm suas discussões reorientadas pelas contínuas crises e mudanças de paradigmas da tecnociência. Este artigo se dedica à atividade de arar os solos conceituais de uma história da arte, ciência e tecnologia já descrita e ainda não muito difundida em língua portuguesa: as atividades de Helen Meyer Harrison e Newton Harrison, artistas-cientistas pioneiros na prática da arte como pesquisa transdisciplinar de engajamento ambiental. Mediante recuo estratégico em algumas de suas atividades a partir da década de 1970, é proposta uma investigação que endossa a preocupação com a baixa entropia dos sistemas da Terra e reconhece na arte o papel articulador de hibridações com os sistemas informacionais, sistemas orgânicos, sintéticos e simbólicos.

AbstractIn the 21st century, it has become difficult to address issues related to social, political, cultural, technological, and economic change without referring to environmental issues. Studies in Art, Science, and Nature, regardless of the type of approach, have their discussions re-oriented by the crises and paradigm shifts in technoscience. This article aims to plow the conceptual soils of a history of art, science, and technology already described and not yet widespread in Portuguese literacy: the activities of Helen Meyer Harrison and Newton Harrison. Through a strategic retreat in some of its activities from the 1970s onwards, an investigation proposed that endorses the concern with the low entropy of Earth systems and recognizes in art the role of enabling new hybridizations with informational systems, systems organic, synthetic, and symbolic.
