Seven New Fragments of the Sanskrit Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-sūtra (manuscript SI 6781) in the Serindia Collection (IOM, RAS)
Authors: Mesheznikov Artiom
Published: July 2024

The present paper introduces seven new manuscript fragments that have been identified with the Sanskrit Buddhist text — the Lotus Sūtra (Skt. Saddharmapuṇḍarīka). Until quite recently these fragments have had no pressmark and were revealed among the unregistered materials of the Serindia Collection (IOM, RAS). The fragments represent different parts of seven pothi-type leaves of paper containing Sanskrit text in South Turkestan Brāhmī script, which was used for recording Buddhist texts in the 8–9 cc. AD in Khotan — the largest center of Mahāyāna in Serindia (the Eastern part of Central Asia within the current borders of Xinjiang). Seven fragments bear clear similarities in terms of paleographic and codicological features (type of script, size and shape of graphemic symbols (akṣaras), number of lines and line-spacing, paper characteristics etc.). Given the express similarities, it is reasonable to assume that all the fragments could belong to one and the same manuscript. Furthermore, it was revealed that two new fragments almost join with those kept under the pressmarks SI 1934 and SI 6584 and represent altogether two relatively complete pothi leaves. After the identification and investigation these seven new fragments were assigned the inventory number and the pressmark SI 6781. This paper includes description of the fragments SI 6781, transliteration, comparison with the corresponding text of the Petrovsky manuscript (the most complete Central Asian copy of the Sanskrit Lotus Sūtra), English translation, and facsimile of two fragments.
Some Сomments on Usage of Analytical form -p bar- in the Old Uyghur Language
Authors: Alieva Kamilla  A.
Published: July 2024

This article examines the use of the analytical form -p bar- as a means to express aspectual meanings and the conditions for its use. In the Old Uyghur language, which is considered one of the early stages of development of Turkic languages, morphological means are used to clarify the nature of actions. One of these means is the analytical form -p bar-. In studies on the Old Turkic and Old Uyghur languages, the use of the analytical form -p bar- to express the aspectual meaning of punctual action has not been previously noted. From this point of view, functional characteristics of this form’s use are investigated in the study. Analyzed examples serve as evidence that the Old Uyghur language had grammar means of expressing the aspectual meaning of punctual action.

Published: July 2024

With the advancement of information technology, websites have become essential platforms for disseminating information and advertising products and services online. A website is considered good when it strikes a balance between visual appeal and usability. However, the graphics on the Pinus Banyuwangi website still appear rigid and monotonous, and the information is poorly organized, leading users to struggle in understanding the services offered. To ensure users can truly experience Pinus Banyuwangi and its services, the website's interface and user experience need to be redesigned, taking into account user experience through the Human-Centered Design approach, which involves four stages Observation, Idea Generation, Prototype, and Testing. The research indicates significant user concerns regarding the UI and UX of the Pinus Banyuwangi website. Through questionnaires and final testing using a system usability scale method involving 30 Banyuwangi Pines visitors, the obtained score of 79.2 corresponds to a B value indicator, signifying an acceptable level of usability. This demonstrates an improvement in usability compared to the initial testing score of 32, which fell under the "F Unacceptable“ category. The research results culminate in the creation of a UI/UX prototype for the Pinus Banyuwangi website, aiming to be user-friendly and tailored to user needs.

The examination of the anterior segment of both of eyes was normal. Fundus examination reveals the existence of a rounded yellowish macular lesion with major macular atrophy in both of eyes (Panel A and B), the peripheral retina was normal. Auto fluorescence picture describe a bull’s-eye maculopathy limited by a hyperautofluorescent ring (Panel C). Macular OCT shows loss of the outer segments of the foveal photoreceptors (Panel D). The electroretinography confirmed the diagnosis of cone dystrophy by demonstrating an absence of response under photopic conditions, while the scotopic response is preserved.
Current update of streptococcus pyogene infection or Group A Streptococcus
Authors: Dari Behre ,   Worabe comprehensive specialized hospital, Worabe city, Ethiopia
Published: July 2024

S.pyogenes infections were first described in the 5th century by Hippocrates, who wrote of a scarlet fever epidemic [1]. During the late 19th century, Rosenbach classified this pathogen as Streptococcus pyogenes [2]. In 1919, Brown described the classic streptococcal hemolytic patterns on blood agar plates, including beta (complete) hemolytic, which is seen in S. pyogenes. Classification of streptococcal infections drastically changed in the early 1930’s when Dr. Rebecca Lancefield, an American bacteriologist, pioneered a new technique of identifying and typing by streptococcal sero groups [3]. The Lancefield technique classifies hemolytic streptococci based on group-specific antigens in t. Using this method, Dr. Lancefield identified groups A through O.
Multiple myeloma and exophthalmos

Published: July 2024

Extramedullary myeloma is a type of MM defined by the presence of extraskeletal (soft tissue or visceral) clonal plasma cells infiltrates. Orbital involvement is very rare and has been reported to involve conjunctiva, cornea, retina, orbital bones, and rectus muscles [1]. Orbital involvement presents as a solitary soft-tissue tumor originating from bone deposits and may be associated with no bone destruction. Orbital involvement is more frequently extraconal (90%) and located in the superior-temporal quadrant (75%); the involvement of recti muscles is very rare [2]. On CT, orbital myeloma is slightly dense than muscle, and contrast enhancement is slight and homogenous sometimes with dark zones representing spontaneous intralesional hemorrhage. On MRI, the lesion is isointense on T1 and has a moderate signal on T2. There is a significant contrast enhancement with central inhomogeneity; there is no diffusion restriction. Orbital MM is a very unusual cause of an orbital mass and can raise difficulties in differential diagnosis between lymphoma, metastases ,rhambdomyosracoma. Treatment of the orbital plasmacytoma is not well defined, includes local excision as a salvage surgery, exenteration or radiotherapy and additional chemotherapy. Its appearance is associated with an advanced stage of multiple myeloma and a poor prognosis. We report the case of a 60-year-old woman with known mult iple myeloma presented with bilateral painful proptosis, right conjunctival chemosis and a right palpable mass. On examinat ion, it was found that she has bilateral exophthalmos more marked on the left side and decreasing mobility in abduction. A magnetic resonance imaging showed multiples large extraconal masses each involving the lateral recti muscles especially on the left (Fig.1), scalloping on the eyeballs and causing exophthalmos grade 4 (Fig.2), heterogeneously enhancing on contrast images (Fig.3). There was no bony orbital lysis. Shortly thereafter, the patient expired.

Pregnancy Anaemia: Improving Treatment Success with Oral Iron
Authors: Pountain Jennifer
Published: July 2024

The physiological adaptation of pregnancy brings complex haematological changes. To meet feto-placental requirements, blood plasma volume increases by 30 to 50%.1 This results in haemodilution, as red blood cell mass rises by 15 to 18%. However, those who take regular iron supplements, red blood cell production increases to 25 to 33%.1 The continuum of iron insufficiency ranges from iron depletion to iron deficiency anaemia (IDA).2 Anaemia in pregnancy is defined as a haemoglobin less than 110g/l in the first trimester, and less than 105g/l in the second and third trimester.2
On the status of the development category and changes in its understanding by practitioners’ preschool education
Authors: Zalewska-Meler Agnieszka
Published: July 2024

The presented text aimed to draw attention to the changing perspective of perceiving and defining child development as the main category of childhood. Based on a critical analysis of texts published in the oldest journal devoted to the issues of preschool children, an attempt was made to determine to what extent changes in the language field become evidence of changes taking place in the way of constructing and assigning meanings to the concept of development. Assuming that concepts/terms are both a carrier of an agreed meaning and a linguistic representation of a specific fragment of reality, their presence in the ‘circulation of thought’, sanctioned by the selection of specific theoretical concepts and research practices, may turn out to be an essential testimony of changes in a particular problem field. The main conclusions resulting from the analyses carried out are: (1) changes in the way of thinking about development are reflected in the way of using language, the differentiation of which is the result of generating new questions, the emergence of new concepts as well as critical and creative applications of existing concepts; (2) the search for a language, which would present a child’s development in a dynamic and multi-aspect way is to use a wide range of categories (including change, maturation, differentiation, ordering, integration, learning, experiencing and interaction), the mapping of which serves to reveal new networks of relationships and contexts of development; (3) expanding Interpretive practices of child development categories is facilitated by reference to knowledge from various areas, which leads to the saturation of categories in a horizontal system and reveals everyday usefulness in the methodology of child development activities.

Authors: Kleszczewska-Albińska Angelika , Ptak Kristian
Published: July 2024

FOMO is a relatively new category used to describe phenomena related to the fear of missing out on important news or events from other people’s lives, which may lead to rejection by others. The intense discomfort associated with this anxiety can lead to the development of coping mechanisms, including constant engagement in online activities. As a result of excessive online activity, interpersonal relationships in the real world can be disturbed, and an individual’s quality of life can be significantly reduced. This problem can be significant for teenagers, who maintain most of their relationships online. The presented article provides a theoretical overview of issues related to FOMO. It describes the main symptoms and threats associated with these phenomena. It also consists of a theoretical proposal of preventive activities and the central psychotherapeutic interventions that can be offered to a person suffering from FOMO or at risk of developing it.

The loneliness of the woman victim of psychic abuse: Biopsychosocial sequelae of emotional dependence
Authors: Fraga Letícia Katherine Pereira
Published: July 2024

Reflecting on the mental health of women who are victims of psychological abuse has become a social emergency, since the biopsychosocial sequelae are unsustainable, which is reflected in the social loneliness derived from the symptomatology of emotional dependence, psychosomatic illnesses, social and family withdrawal, extreme emotional attachment to the abuser and consequently signs of learned helplessness. Excessive emotional frustration becomes a "common" symptom, and the number of victims who resume relationships with their abusers becomes recurrent, even in extreme psychic exhaustion and emotional pain. The estimation of the woman who is a victim of psychological abuse is labeled as crazy or that she likes to suffer, that there is no other way, this social distancing, is one of the predominant factors that makes her more dependent on the abuser, the fear of social exclusion, of abandonment, the abuser becomes the point of comfort, since the pain of psychic violence is tolerable and the pain of loneliness is overwhelming. Therefore, assistance in the revision of the problem, treatment ofemotional dependence, resignification of learned paradigms, social reintegration, coping strategies, are necessary topics for a qualitative mental health of a victim of psychic abuse, since adequate mental help at the ideal time increases life expectancy and decreases the risks of femicide and ideation
Aspects of the echinococcosis-hydatidosis complex in public health: A review article
Authors: dos Santos Camila Alves , Candido André Luiz , Haubert Louise
Published: July 2024

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the echinococcosis-hydatidosis complex is one of the 17 Neglected Tropical Diseases in humans, caused by parasites of the genus Echinococcus spp. Occurring worldwide, it prevails in rural areas and precarious regions, with low sanitary and socioeconomic conditions, contributing to the evolution and subsistence of parasitic diseases. Among the species of Echinococcus, the species E. granulosus is the main responsible for damage to public health. In the echinococcosis-hydatidosis cycle, the adult form of the parasite is found in the small intestine of the definitive host (HD), generating eggs that will be eliminated together with the feces. The symptomatology depends on factors such as: affected organs, size of the cyst, location in the tissue, complications associated with the presence of the cyst and bacterial infections. Humans are infected due to poor sanitary conditions, and the parasite's eggs are ingested in water and/or food contaminated with HD feces. The diagnosis of hydatidosis begins with epidemiological precedents, followed by suspicion due to clinical signs; confirmation by imaging tests; identification of cyst constituents and confirmation by detection of antibodies by ELISA or indirect immunofluorescence. For treatment, surgical techniques can be used in conjunction with antiparasitic treatment. Considering that this is a disease with the possibility of recurrence, a multifactorial approach is necessary, associating drug and surgical treatment and long-term follow-up

Authors: Tomaz Dayanne Cristina Mendes Ferreira , Figueiredo Lucas de Almeida , Gonçalves Diana da Silva , Salgueiro Mariana Braga
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Prenatal care is essential for obstetric qualification and health promotion for women, newborns and society. The care occurs predominantly in Primary Health Care, in which the nurse represents an important professional in the reception, classification of gestational risk, evaluation and prescription of exams, performance of anamnesis and physical examination, definition of a care plan with guidelines and periodic evaluations. Method: This is a qualitative research of the descriptive type, in consideration of the object of study, since this type of research allows, in a systematized way, the identification, registration, description and analysis of the perspectives of the participants about the relationships and interactions related to prenatal care.  To this end, the study had the participation of 15 nurses who work in the Family Health Strategy scenario of the Municipality of Teresópolis, in the Mountain Region of the State of Rio de Janeiro.  The results evidenced is that the participants reported that the greatest approximation with women's health care emerged since their academic training and that this is a practice valued by them in the context of primary care. Other results were: extrinsic: insertion of the pregnant woman in the network, referrals of the pregnant woman in the network, adolescent pregnancy and nurses' autonomy in requesting tests and prescribing medications.  Final Considerations: From the accomplishment of this study, it was possible to perceive that the professionals of the network provide qualified and systematized prenatal care. The reports show a relationship of identification and satisfaction in prenatal care by the research participants, although they face challenges.
Reproductive Response Of Bulimulus Tenuissimus (Mollusca) As An Intermediate Host Of Angiostrongylus Cantonensis (Nematoda)
Authors: Martins Florence Gonçalves , Patrício Iza , Dos Santos Marcos Antônio José , Pinheiro Jairo , Garcia Juberlan Silva
Published: July 2024

The snail Bulimulus tenuissimus is a terrestrial gastropod widely distributed in the Americas, Asia, Africa and some countries of other continents. It typically occurs in the same areas as Angiostrongylus cantonensis, which needs a mollusk as intermediate host. In spite of this, the literature is scant about the relationship of these organisms. Specimens of B. tenuissimus were experimentally infected with L1 larvae of A. cantonensis. Weekly, until the third week post exposure, the reproductive parameters were analyzed and snails were dissected for collection of hemolymph, along with the albumen gland and tissues for histological analysis. The total number of eggs laid, total number of newly hatched snails and number of newly hatched snails/eggs laid were higher in the infected snails, but the differences observed were not significant. The galactogen content in the albumen gland was significantly reduced from the second week post exposure onward. Also, in spite of presence of larvae in the gonadal region of the snail with granuloma-like structures and some histological changes, gametogenesis occurred regularly in the infected hosts. The results are worrisome, since they showed that B. tenuissimus is an intermediate host to A. cantonensis which supports infection without changes in its reproductive biology and activity. The present study sheds more light on a snail that is a newly recorded experimental and natural intermediate host of A. cantonensis, which is widely distributed and occurs in areas were neural angiostrongyliasis has been recorded. Therefore, this snail can act in the nature as an important agent for dispersion of neural angiostrongyliasis, posing a serious problem to human and animal public health.
NEOPLASIA MALIGNA DOS BRÔNQUIOS E DOS PULMÕES
Authors: de Souza Aeriberto Carlos Lindoso , de Carvalho Bruno Mileno Magalhães , Silva Laiany Caroline dos Santos , Mesquita Micheline Joana Tenório Albuquerque Madruga
Published: July 2024

As neoplasias malignas por câncer de pulmão e brônquios, lideram as causas de mortes por neoplasias no Brasil. Estas doenças, se enquadram, entre as patologias mais comuns da atualidade e consistem na principal causa de morte por neoplasia na população mundial. Suas características mais proeminentes são relacionadas ao seu potencial de metástase, pois é ricamente vascularizado pela circulação sanguínea e linfática, o que possibilita o transporte e crescimento das massas celulares (descontínuas com o tumor) que sofreram mutação para as demais áreas do organismo, agravando assim o quadro da doença (SILVA et al., 2022). Dessa forma, quanto menor o tumor, mais favorável o prognóstico, devido à menor probabilidade de espalhamento de células cancerosas e maior eficiência na remoção cirúrgica da lesão. Outrossim, o procedimento operatório de remoção do tumor é executado de modo a remover uma margem de segurança do tecido normal nas margens com aparente ausência de neoplasia (HADDAD, 2022). A maior parte desses tumores é do tipo adenocarcinoma, crescimento patológico das células de origem epitelial, com padrão de crescimento glandular, que estão fortemente associados ao tabagismo, direto e indireto, hábito predominante na população masculina. (BOING; VARGAS; BOING, 2007). Outros fatores de risco para esse tipo de câncer é a exposição crônica a elevados níveis de poluição, à radiação e ao amianto, aumentando a propensão à doença. (BRITO et al., 2018). Podemos dividir esta neoplasia em dois grupos: câncer de pulmão de não pequenas células (CPNPC) e câncer de pulmão de pequenas células (CPPC). O CPNPC muitas vezes, é diagnosticado em estágio avançado, e assim, apresenta grande número de óbitos (ARAÚJO et al., 2018). Os sinais e sintomas mais observados são tosse (MASCARENHAS et al., 2010), tosse muitas vezes com hemoptise, expectoração mucopurulenta e/ou com sangue, disfonia, dor torácica e dispneia precoce, emagrecimento e febre, astenia (BARROS et al., 2006), falta de ar, insônia (ALENCAR et al., 2021), fadiga associada à capacidade funcional reduzida (CARDOSO et al., 2015). Sintomas estes, inespecíficos e que em muito dificultam o diagnóstico destas doenças, a o ponto em que, muitos dos casos são diagnosticados tardiamente, resultando em piores prognósticos e menor sobrevida dos pacientes.

A neoplasia maligna de estômago é a causa mortis de 6 milhões de pessoas ao ano dentre as 10 milhões acometidas por esse tipo de câncer. No ranking mundial de incidência ele ocupa a quinta posição dos tipos mais comuns de câncer e de alta mortalidade no estágio patológico mais agravados, é o quinto mais prevalente na população feminina e o terceiro na parcela populacional masculina. Atualmente houve uma diminuição das taxas de incidência e mortalidade devido ao diagnóstico precoce pelas sintomatologias mais iniciais e as pesquisas acerca dos fatores causais que, quando evitados, podem atenuar o desenvolvimento ou impedir o surgimento dessa neoplasia (BOMFIM et al., 2020).

Dentre as neoplasias cerebrais, o câncer encefálico ocorre no sítio anatômico preferencial dos tumores malignos raros no cérebro, tendo suas incidências e mortalidades aumentadas mundialmente nas últimas décadas, principalmente na população idosa. Mesmo desconhecendo os fatores específicos que levam a proliferação metastática de células tumorais, estudos apontam os fatores hormonais, variáveis ambientais e características genéticas como influentes no crescimento do tumor. Nesse sentido, condições patológicas do histórico de saúde do indivíduo, como epilepsia, traumatismo craniano, infecções e afecções virais, aumentam o risco de desenvolvimento do tumor. Outrossim, fatores como o padrão de dieta, a exposição à radiação eletromagnética, pesticidas e profissionais em contato direto com petróleo, agrotóxicos e borracha também são contribuintes no aumento do risco de proliferação tumoral (MONTEIRO e KOIFMAN, 2003).

This research aims to record part of the history of the advertising poster production that circulates in more than 120 countries by observing aspects of the creation and graphic design of the communication product posters of the FIFA World Cup held in Germany, in the editions of 1974 and 2006. Analyzing poster productions helps us to understand society and contemporary communication. This research adopts the qualitative approach and the case study technique. For the analyses, references from the area of Advertising and Advertising such as Fonseca (1990), Moles (1974), Sant'Anna (1996), Cesar (2000) and, in the area of graphic design: Williams (2013), Donis (2002) and Chinen (2011) are used. It can be indicated as results, from the analysis carried out, that the posters, produced for the biggest event of a single sport, are results of different moments in the German country, the first in the second half of the twentieth century (1974) and the second in the beginning of the twenty-first century (2006). The poster is present in the current market, coexisting with other media, whether printed, electronic, digital and/or alternative.
Literacy as a contribution to socioeconomic inclusion: The case of a youth group from Namibe, Angola
Authors: Patatas Teresa de Jesus Portelinha Almeida
Published: July 2024

Educated youth is vitally important for the future of Angola. Youth illiteracy is one of the obstacles to greater socio-economic inclusion. The country is committed to intensifying literacy with the aim of eradicating this complex obstacle with multiple causes (historical, economic, social, cultural, political, etc.). This study aims to show how literacy is transforming the socio-economic inclusion perspectives of a group of young people in the province of Namibe. A bibliographic and documentary research was carried out. This was a case study of a youth group from Namibe, Angola. In the empirical phase, focus groups were applied in November 2021 to 22 young people (13-18 years old) in a class of beginners in literacy, in Moçâmedes (host municipality). The results showed that it is the desire for "functional literacy" for the acquisition of knowledge considered necessary to be able to function socioeconomically in this context. These young people, previously excluded from the school system, felt socially discriminated against, victims of prejudice and some verbal aggression. They decided to start studies to change this reality. Despite the poor infrastructural conditions, schools are motivated and "happier". They believe that this learning will increase their socio-economic inclusion in that specific context.

A thoracotomy is a surgical incision in the chest wall to access the thoracic cavity to correct various alterations, including fractures. In cases of rib fracture correction, osteosynthesis is usually performed. The aim of this study was to report the case of a thoracotomy followed by rib osteosynthesis in a canine. A one-year-old Shih-tzu female weighing 4 kg presented with respiratory difficulties and intense pain on chest palpation and movement, inappetence and a small circular lesion in the chest area, as well as depression of the affected area. The presumptive diagnosis was made by identifying the clinical signs, which were confirmed by exploratory thoracotomy. Pre-anesthetic medication was given with tramadol, anesthetic induction with propofol, followed by total intravenous anesthesia with propofol using a syringe infusion pump. Skin diuresis was performed at the level of the 4th intercostal space, identifying muscle tears and rib fractures. For fracture repair, the hemi-clamping technique using steel wire was recommended, as well as reduction of the intercostal muscles and myorrhaphy of the thoracic muscles, using a simple continuous suture pattern with size 2-0 polyglactin 910 thread. Reduction of dead space, in the subcutaneous region, in the Cushing pattern, with size 2-0 polyglactin 910 thread and dermorraphy in the Sultan pattern with 2-0 polypropylene thread. It can be concluded that steel wire osteosynthesis was effective in resolving the animal's thoracic trauma.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a computer science discipline focused on the development of systems and algorithms capable of performing human tasks, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and language understanding. Its applications range from virtual assistants to medical diagnostic systems. The introduction of AI in medicine has brought significant changes, improving diagnostics, management, and medical education, but also raising concerns about its overuse and impact on the doctor-patient relationship. The integration of AI into medical education is essential to prepare health professionals for its ethical and effective use. Studies highlight the benefits of AI in the interpretation of medical images, accurate diagnoses, and more efficient clinical practice. However, challenges such as familiarizing medical students with AI, ethical issues, and training educators still need to be addressed. The ethical implementation of AI in medical education requires the development of clear guidelines and ongoing discussions about its use. The literature highlights the importance of research, innovation, and collaboration to harness the potential of AI in promoting better health outcomes. To achieve this, there needs to be a continued focus on areas such as simulating realistic medical interactions, developing safe and transparent systems, and strengthening the capacity of healthcare professionals to deal with this constantly evolving technology.
