Association of Large Vessel Aneurysm/Pseudo-Aneurysm/Aortitis and Deep Vein Thrombosis in Patients with Behçet’s Disease: A Case Report
Authors: Shenavandeh Saeedeh , Johari Hamed Ghoddusi , Aflaki Elham
Published: September 2021

Background:

Behçet’s disease (BD) is a complex vasculitis with some vascular manifestations
including venous thrombosis, arterial thrombosis/aneurysm/pseudoaneurysm, and co-associated
venous thrombosis and arterial lesions. We present two patients with Behçet’s disease came
with progressive both arterial and venous involvement.

Case Presentation:

The first patient was a young man with recurrent oral aphthosis and skin folliculitis
and referred with complaint of new abdominal pain and 2 months severe headache. He had
not referred to a physician due to COVID-19 pandemic until that time. In addition, he gradually developed
a lower extremity edema and eventually was diagnosed with BD complicated with brain
sagittal sinus vein thrombosis, abdominal aortic aneurysms and aortitis and deep vein thrombosis
(DVT) of femoral vein. The second patient was a young woman with previous history of uveitis,
DVT and recurrent oral and genital aphthosis presented with a large inguinal mass due to large iliac
artery pseudoaneurysm impending to rupture, and after the operation, due to poor follow-up, developed
a new femoral DVT.

Conclusion:

It seems the same inflammatory process is responsible for arterial and venous involvement
in patients with BD, so it should be considered that involvement in one side (venous/arterial)
can be a risk factor for the other side (venous/arterial) and early immunosuppressive treatment
should always be considered to improve the prognosis.
The Role of Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Advanced Glycation End Product in Skin Manifestations of Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: Legiawati Lili
Published: September 2021

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder caused by an increase in insulin resistance, a decrease in insulin production, or both of them, resulting in a high level of blood glucose or hyperglycemia. An uncontrolled state of DM may cause complications, namely skin disorder. One or more skin disorders are found amongst 74% of T2DM patients, with the highest percentage is dry skin (47%), followed by infection (10%), diabetic hand (5%), hair loss and diabetic dermopathy (each 4%). In DM, the state of hyperglycemia and production of advanced glycaemic end-products (AGEs) profoundly impact skin changes. In the pathological pathway, AGEs induce oxidative stress and inflammation. Nonetheless, AGEs level is higher in T2DM patients compared to non- T2DM people. This is caused by hyperglycemia and oxidative stress. Binding between AGEs and receptor of AGEs (RAGE) promotes pathway of oxidative stress and inflammation cascade via mitogen- activated protein kinases (MAPK), nuclear factor-k-light-chain-enhancer of activated β cells (NF-kβ), interleukin- 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule 2 (VCAM-2) pathway which furtherly effectuates DM complication including skin disorders.
Silver ion chromatography for the analysis of trans-fatty acid isomers in humans
Authors:   US Centers for Disease Control, Wei Na , Kuiper Heather , Archibold Enada , Vesper Hubert
Published: September 2021

More than 65 different fatty acids, including positional and geometric fatty acid isomers, have been reported in humans. These isomers have the same molecular mass and very similar chemical structures but can have very different biological functions. The large number of cis- and trans-isomers in human blood pose analytical challenges and require detailed investigations to appropriately determine their effects on health and changes in the amount and composition in people. Silver ion chromatography, a technology used to separate complex fatty acid mixtures, in combination with an expanded version of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) gas chromatography-negative chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (GC-NCI-MS) method for fatty acids can effectively separate cis- and trans-fatty acid isomers. This approach has potential for determining comprehensive trans-fatty acid profiles in people.

The data obtained were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test using the SPSS program.

Results: This research shows an effect of giving health promotion with lecture method or small group discussion method on community behaviour changes in eradicating mosquito nests with p-value <0.001.
Conclussion: Health promotion using the small group discussion method is more effective than Health promotion using the lecture method. Health promotion using the small group discussion method effectively changes people's behaviour to eradicate mosquito nests.
Obesity-Related Communication in Digital Chinese News From Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan: Automated Content Analysis
Authors: Chang Angela , Schulz Peter Johannes , Jiao Wen , Liu Matthew Tingchi
Published: September 2021

Background

The fact that the number of individuals with obesity has increased worldwide calls into question media efforts for informing the public. This study attempts to determine the ways in which the mainstream digital news covers the etiology of obesity and diseases associated with the burden of obesity.

Objective

The dual objectives of this study are to obtain an understanding of what the news reports on obesity and to explore meaning in data by extending the preconceived grounded theory.

Methods

The 10 years of news text from 2010 to 2019 compared the development of obesity-related coverage and its potential impact on its perception in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Digital news stories on obesity along with affliction and inferences in 9 Chinese mainstream newspapers were sampled. An automatic content analysis tool, DiVoMiner was proposed. This computer-aided platform is designed to organize and filter large sets of data on the basis of the patterns of word occurrence and term discovery. Another programming language, Python 3, was used to explore connections and patterns created by the aggregated interactions.

Results

A total of 30,968 news stories were identified with increasing attention since 2016. The highest intensity of newspaper coverage of obesity communication was observed in Taiwan. Overall, a stronger focus on 2 shared causative attributes of obesity is on stress (n=4483, 33.0%) and tobacco use (n=3148, 23.2%). The burdens of obesity and cardiovascular diseases are implied to be the most, despite the aggregated interaction of edge centrality showing the highest link between the “cancer” and obesity. This study goes beyond traditional journalism studies by extending the framework of computational and customizable web-based text analysis. This could set a norm for researchers and practitioners who work on data projects largely for an innovative attempt.

Conclusions

Similar to previous studies, the discourse between the obesity epidemic and personal afflictions is the most emphasized approach. Our study also indicates that the inclination of blaming personal attributes for health afflictions potentially limits social and governmental responsibility for addressing this issue.

Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND

Dementia is a global public health priority with an estimated prevalence of 150 million by 2050, nearly two-thirds of whom will live in the Asia-Pacific region. Dementia creates significant care needs for people with the disease, their families, and carers. iSupport is a self-help platform developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to provide education, skills training, and support to dementia carers. It has been adapted in some contexts (Australia, India, the Netherlands, and Portugal). Carers using the existing adapted versions have identified the need to have a more user-friendly version that enables them to identify solutions for immediate problems quickly in real time. The iSupport virtual assistant (iSupport VA) is being developed to address this gap and will be evaluated in a randomized controlled trial (RCT).

OBJECTIVE

This paper reports the protocol of a pilot RCT evaluating the iSupport VA.

METHODS

Seven versions of iSupport VA will be evaluated in Australia, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Vietnam in a pilot RCT. Feasibility, acceptability, intention to use, and preliminary impact on carer-perceived stress of the iSupport VA intervention will be assessed.

RESULTS

This study was funded by the e-ASIA Joint Research Program in November 2020. From January to July 2023, we will enroll 140 dementia carers (20 carers per iSupport VA version) for the pilot RCT. The study has been approved by the Human Research Committee, University of South Australia, Australia (203455).

CONCLUSIONS

This protocol outlines how a technologically enhanced version of the WHO iSupport program—the iSupport VA—will be evaluated. The findings from this intervention study will provide evidence on the feasibility and acceptability of the iSupport VA intervention, which will be the basis for conducting a full RCT to assess the effectiveness of the iSupport VA. The study will be an important reference for countries planning to adapt and enhance the WHO iSupport program using digital health solutions.

The Indian internet economy, which was one of the most attractive markets worldwide, saw a 90% decline in April 2020, crippled by the shutdowns.1The decline was a result of steep falls in business for e-commerce and travel, the largest sectors in the internet ecosystem. However, the pandemic helped accelerate growth for segments such as hyperlocal delivery, edtech, healthtechand online payments as Indian consumers moved online to fulfil their daily needs. Despite a steep GMV fall in the initial months of the lockdown, India’s internet economy is likely to be a net beneficiary in longer run, driven by multi-fold increase in digital interactions and adoption of digital platforms. The number of first time online users has witnessed an increase across segments, along with an increase in online activity from tier 2 and tier 3 cities, which indicates a strong opportunity for enterprises and start-ups to cater to these cohorts digitally as the new normal. What is also expected to drive growth for digitally native start-ups is rising adoption by small and medium businesses in the country. Small merchants across cities are now adopting mobile channels, implementing online payments and exploring collaborations with technologydriven start-ups.

Kelly Betting with Quantum Payoff: a continuous variable approach
Authors: Tirone Salvatore , Ghio Maddalena , Livieri Giulia , Giovannetti Vittorio , Marmi Stefano
Published: September 2021

The main purpose of this study is to introduce a semi-classical model describing betting scenarios in which, at variance with conventional approaches, the payoff of the gambler is encoded into the internal degrees of freedom of a quantum memory element. In our scheme, we assume that the invested capital is explicitly associated with the quantum analog of the free-energy (i.e. ergotropy functional by Allahverdyan, Balian, and Nieuwenhuizen) of a single mode of the electromagnetic radiation which, depending on the outcome of the betting, experiences attenuation or amplification processes which model losses and winning events. The resulting stochastic evolution of the quantum memory resembles the dynamics of random lasing which we characterize within the theoretical setting of Bosonic Gaussian channels. As in the classical Kelly Criterion for optimal betting, we define the asymptotic doubling rate of the model and identify the optimal gambling strategy for fixed odds and probabilities of winning. The performance of the model are hence studied as a function of the input capital state under the assumption that the latter belongs to the set of Gaussian density matrices (i.e. displaced, squeezed thermal Gibbs states) revealing that the best option for the gambler is to devote all their initial resources into coherent state amplitude.

Published: September 2021

A produção de narrativas digitais com Scratch1, sob função pedagógica ediagnóstica pelo orientador educacional é uma estratégia ainda pouco utilizada no contexto escolar. Este trabalho reporta uma prática que pretendeu identificar como o horizonte escolar no ano inicial da pandemia da COVID 19 foi percebido por discentes e, ainda, investigar possibilidades de ações do OE2, baseadas em investigação. Através de um estudo de caso com narrativas em Scratch, alunos da EB3 manifestaram suas percepções escolares antes e durante a pandemia, assim como suas projeções de um futuro pós-pandemia. A partir da análise de conteúdo, a pesquisa evidenciou os sentimentos discentes em relação à vida escolar, de baixa à média perspectiva em relação às suas práticas e aprendizagens; alta compreensão em relação às medidas de prevenção daCOVID 19 e oportunidades de ação do OE, na medida em que, através da atividade, demandante de vários níveis de abstração, há a exploração da cultura digital, a viabilização de um canal de escuta e exploração de conteúdos escolares e oportunidades de ação. Constatou-se que a temática viabiliza um trabalho integrado entre discentes, docentes e orientadores educacionais, além de contribuir como instrumento diagnóstico para demais profissionais da área da educação e da saúde.

Authors: Godoy Martins Corrêa Deborah , Godoy Martins Corrêa Bruno , Oliveira Tiago , Stringhini Denise
Published: September 2021

Este trabalho tem como objetivo contribuir para a construção de processos de ensino e aprendizagem mais personalizados por meio da elaboração e análise de um sistema computacional para identificar inteligências múltiplas e estilos de aprendizagem. Baseado nas teorias de Gardner (1983) e de Honey & Mumford (1986), foi elaborado e avaliado um programa que desenvolve o autoconhecimento cognitivo dos estudantes e fornece o perfil de aprendizagem das turmas aos seus docentes, contribuindo, assim, para a elaboração de conteúdos educacionais que atendam a esses diferentes estilos de aprendizagem. Embora possa ser aplicado em diversas áreas, o sistema desenvolvido foi testado por estudantes universitários matriculados na disciplina de Lógica de Programação e avaliado por meio de um questionário de satisfação baseado no modelo Kano (1984). Nessa avaliação, foram analisados diferentes atributos (interesse no tema, utilidade e clareza do conteúdo, necessidade de adição de mais conteúdos, design do sistema, expansão do conhecimento, estimulação de habilidades cognitivas e melhora no aprendizado). Como resultado, verifica-se entre os participantes da pesquisa a percepção de que é muito importante conhecer o perfil cognitivo das turmas antes do início do curso.

Ajara Autonomous Republic, both within the country and in the world tourist market, has always been positioned as a maritime tourist destination. However, over recent years diversification of tourist products and appealing new market segments have become one of the main priorities of the tourism development strategy of Ajara Autonomous Republic. As a result, the government is creating an appropriate tourist infrastructure, especially in rural areas to support developing such tourist products as adventure and eco-tourism. Adventure tourism can deliver significant benefits at the local level and it is a developing segment in Ajara. Creating adventure tourism products requires integration of various interdependent services. A tourism value chain is defined as a system that describes the cooperation of private and state sectors in providing resources, which creates costs and adds value through various processes and delivers final products to visitors. The purpose of the research was to determine weak links in the value chain and creating a comprehensive value chain model to form the competitive adventure tourism product. The research involved all actors, which operate in the tourism sector. Based on the results of the survey, in the value chain, the food link turned out to be the weakest, whereas the accommodation with the highest share was distinguished in the visitor spending structure. Overall, the cost of the adventure tour will be affordable for both international and domestic tourists. At this stage, government support and participation are crucial in the formation of adventure tourism infrastructure. Through using the case study and qualitative research methods, we tried to identify challenges to the growth of adventure tourism in Ajara and developed recommendations to overcome these challenges.
IMPOSSIBLE INTENTIONS
Authors: Buckwalter Wesley , Rose David , Turri John
Published: September 2021

Philosophers are divided on whether it is possible to intend believed-impossible outcomes. Several thought experiments in the action theory literature suggest that this is conceptually possible, though they have not been tested in ordinary social cognition. We conducted three experiments to determine whether, on the ordinary view, it is conceptually possible to intend believed-impossible outcomes. Our findings indicate that participants firmly countenance the possibility of intending believed-impossible outcomes, suggesting that it is conceptually possible to intend to do something that one believes is impossible.

The discovery that HbA1c was a valid and reliable measure of average glucose exposure was one of the most important advances in diabetes care. HbA1c was rapidly adopted for monitoring glucose control and is now recommended for the diagnosis of diabetes. HbA1c has several advantages over glucose. Glucose assessment requires fasting, has poor preanalytic stability, and is not standardized; concentrations are acutely altered by a number of factors; and measurement can vary depending on sample type (e.g., plasma or whole blood) and source (e.g., capillary, venous, interstitial). HbA1c does not require fasting, reflects chronic exposure to glucose over the past 2–3 months, and has low within-person variability, and assays are well standardized. One reason HbA1c is widely accepted as a prognostic and diagnostic biomarker is that epidemiologic studies have demonstrated robust links between HbA1c and complications, with stronger associations than those observed for usual measures of glucose. Clinical trials have also demonstrated that lowering HbA1c slows or prevents the development of microvascular disease. As with all laboratory tests, there are some clinical situations in which HbA1c is unreliable (e.g., certain hemoglobin variants, alterations in red blood cell turnover). Recent studies demonstrate that fructosamine and glycated albumin may be substituted as measures of hyperglycemia in these settings. Other approaches to monitoring glucose have recently been introduced, including continuous glucose monitoring, although this technology relies on interstitial glucose and epidemiologic evidence supporting its routine use has not yet been established for most clinical settings. In summary, a large body of epidemiologic evidence has convincingly established HbA1c as a cornerstone of modern diabetes care.
The Effect of Transformational Leadership and Leader-Member Exchange on Knowledge Sharing Process: A Practice from Turkey
Authors: Düger Yavuz Selim
Published: September 2021

The objective of this study is to find out the effect of transformational leadership, accepted as an effective form of leadership, and leader-member exchange on knowledge sharing behaviors of the employees. Besides, it is aimed to determine empirically the mediating role of leader-member exchange in the relation between transformational leadership and knowledge sharing. Moreover, comparison of the results belonging to the blue and white-collar employees has been made in order to contribute to the literature. Data have been collected from 340 employees of a textile factory providing service in Istanbul and Bursa. According to the results of the research, it has been concluded in general terms that transformational leadership and leader-member exchange affect knowledge sharing process of employees in a positive manner, and the leader-member exchange plays a partial mediating role in the relation between transformational leadership and knowledge sharing. Unlike the results of the general model, in the analyses made with relation to blue-collar employees, it has been concluded that leader-member exchange has no effect on knowledge sharing, and also leader-member exchange has no mediating role. Furthermore, results of the analyses related to white-collar employees indicate similarity to the general model and it has been concluded that leader-member exchange has a full mediating role.
Causality and Long-term Analysis between Investments and Exports in Turkey
Authors: Ünver Mustafa
Published: September 2021

This study examined causality association and short- and long-term relationship between investments and exports in Turkey for the period of 1980–2019. After detecting that series of investment and export are stationary at first differences based on KPSS stationarity test, a co-integration test was implemented by employing the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bound test, the results of which disclosed that investments and exports in Turkey are co-integrated and move together over the long-term. The long-term coefficient estimation findings showed that investments positively and statistically significantly affect exports over the long-term. In other words, an increase in the investment level by 1% induced increase in the export level by 0.13% over the long-term. Meantime the estimated model had no problems with regard to autocorrelation, heteroscedasticity, normality, and model specification. Finally, the causality test results indicated that there was only a one-way causality relationship running from the investments to the exports.

This research project is an interpretation of a societal phenomenon in terms of the culture of using digital application for leisure and entertainment especially regarding the human behaviour and its obsession of using these applications in the social media platforms. This idea was translated by using the idea of an installation of a fabricated sculpture. The idea of how the digital media plays a major role for leisure and its obsession was inspired by the artist Scott Snibbe. This reference includes on how netizens utilize and share their interests and interactions with these digital media, games and other kinds of digital media entertainments. The method used for this practical studio research are through self critical evaluation, studio experimentation and contextual reviews. This research project was intended to contribute to the field of fine arts in terms of collecting symbolic visual narratives and its issues of the collective culture in regarding of leisure and entertainment and its popularity as a life style today. With hope this research project will give a major impact in terms of understanding towards its trend and the digital entertainment itself. The variation, the ever changing content of its application has impacted the popular culture itself through its spirit and behaviour, the wants and needs projected by the new expression of consumerism.
A maçonaria e os movimentos de insurreição do período colonial do Brasil: a questão da difusão social da escrita
Authors: Moreno André Luiz Alves
Published: September 2021

Propõe-se, aqui, mais uma via para a compreensão do fenômeno da difusão social da escrita na história do Brasil colonial e pós-colonial: os movimentos de insurreição e a sua relação com a inserção da maçonaria no território brasileiro. Com base na mensuração dos índices de alfabetismo e na análise da circulação da escrita no contexto das sedições ocorridas em finais do período colonial – a saber, a Inconfidência Mineira (1789), a Revolta dos Letrados (1794) e a Conspiração dos Alfaiates (1798) –, foi possível identificar a intensa presença do universo maçônico neste contexto e sua efetiva contribuição para a inserção das camadas subalternas da população colonial no universo da cultura escrita.
Desafios do português ‘popular’ do Brasil no século XXI
Authors: Rio-Torto Graça
Published: September 2021

Este estudo reflete sobre as mudanças da língua portuguesa ocorridas nos séculos XVII a XX, fase crucial de alterações que fazem divergir o português brasileiro do português europeu, e compara o brasileiro ‘popular’ atual com o idioma falado pelos escravos de origem africana no Brasil e em Portugal, no mesmo período, com o propósito de encontrar pistas sobre a génese do brasileiro ‘popular’, que tem uma expressão avassaladora no Brasil de hoje. Em complemento, analisam-se alguns factores socioculturais que podem ter contribuído para o protelamento na incorporação do brasileiro ‘popular’ nas políticas de língua e sua inclusão no universo do estudo, do ensino e da aprendizagem da língua. Razões históricas e culturais explicam que a afirmação e consolidação do brasileiro ‘popular’ como objeto emblemático de enorme valor simbólico só tenha começado a fazer-se no século XX, com o movimento modernista e, de forma consistentemente científica, nos finais deste, com trabalhos de Castilho (2010), Faraco (2008, 2016), Lucchesi (2001, 2015, 2017), Mattos e Silva (2001, 2004a, 2004b, 2008), Neves (2003, 2011), para citar alguns dos maiores.

El film Firts they killed my father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers (2017) está basado en el libro homónimo de Loung Ung (2001), en el que narra su historia personal, vivida y padecida, de los crímenes atroces que cometieron los Jemeres Rojos en Camboya. La mirada de Loung es la mirada de un testigo, de una víctima que nos muestra la cara más oscura y deleznable del ser humano con el objetivo de que la lógica de la memoria se imponga a la del olvido a fin de garantizar, además, la no repetición de lo sucedido.
Families in the Riveli di beni e anime of Gallodoro, Sicily during the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
Authors: Martone Eric
Published: September 2021

This article examines the riveli di beni e anime of the small town of Gallodoro, located in northeastern Sicily about halfway between the cities of Messina and Catania, to examine the history of the town’s families during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries by tracing the prevalence of surnames recorded in these documents. The growing proliferation of certain surnames suggests a longer presence of these families in Gallodoro, while the increasing diversification of surnames as a whole suggests a dynamic population comprised of new residents. Despite the diversification of surnames in the riveli for Gallodoro, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the majority of the town’s population held only a relatively few different surnames.
