Entre milicia y corte: crítica y elogio en los Coloquios militares de Fernán López Alfonso
Authors: Bellido Sánchez Sara
Published: January 2025

Los Coloquios militares de Fernán López Alfonso, obra redactada en torno a 1571, pero que ha permanecido manuscrita hasta nuestros días, muestran la visión que de la corte madrileña de Felipe II tienen dos soldados retirados que aspiran a obtener alguna merced, ya que sus servicios en diferentes guerras no les han procurado una posición con la que mantenerse. A lo largo de su deambular por el Alcázar y diversos espacios madrileños, comentarán los problemas de su profesión y de la vida en esa nueva corte de Felipe II al mismo tiempo que se elogia la figura del rey y la propia villa. En este trabajo se analiza cómo se conjuga la crítica con el elogio en una obra que pudo tener un interés de promoción personal del autor, al mismo tiempo que se señalan sus coincidencias con otros textos del periodo de similar temática.
Información y propaganda en la Edad Moderna: Francisco de Alfantega, poeta ciego del siglo XVII
Authors: Iglesias Castellano Abel
Published: January 2025

En el Siglo de Oro hubo ciegos que se dedicaron a la creación de textos para su publicación como pliegos sueltos. Al igual que otros ruiseñores populares, los poetas ciegos escribieron relaciones de sucesos, poemas burlescos, versos didáctico-morales y composiciones religiosas, entre otras obras. Hemos focalizado nuestra atención en uno de estos poetas ciegos: Francisco de Alfantega y Cortés, que trabajó en la época de Felipe IV. Hasta ahora se conocían algunos de sus pliegos sueltos, pero se ignoraba su condición de ciego, ya que estos impresos no indicaban este rasgo. Gracias a la documentación relativa a un proceso de fe al que fue sometido por el tribunal de la Inquisición de Toledo en 1639, desconocido por la historiografía, hemos tenido acceso a esa información. Francisco de Alfantega estaba especializado en la creación de relaciones de sucesos que ensalzaban los ideales de los Habsburgo españoles, participando así en la industria de la información y en los procesos de formación de una incipiente esfera pública durante la temprana Edad Moderna.

Published: January 2025

Background: The maternal mortality rate (MMR) is a major issue in health development with total 305 per 100,000 live births in 2015. Preeclampsia (PE) affects about 3.4% of all pregnant women and is one of the leading causes of maternal and fetal morbidity.
Methods: This study is an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional design to assess the relationship between high-risk factors for preeclampsia present at <20 weeks of gestation and the incidence of preeclampsia based on blood pressure and proteinuria examinations at >20 weeks of gestation. This research was conducted at the Medan City Health Center. The research population consists of pregnant women receiving antenatal care services at the Medan City Health Center. Data were analyzed descriptively to see the frequency distribution. For bivariate analysis, the chi-square test is used. For multivariate analysis, logistic regression is used. The analysis results are considered significant if p<0.05.
Results: The majority of the research subjects are aged 31-35 years with a parity status of multigravida, an education level of high school, an employment status of unemployed, and a BMI classified as normoweight. Parity and education status were significantly related to preeclampsia (p<0.005). Bivariate analysis can be concluded that multipara status with preeclampsia, multiple pregnancies, gestational diabetes, chronic hypertension, and kidney disease are statistically significantly related to the occurrence of preeclampsia (p<0.05). There are five independent variables that significantly affect preeclampsia in this study, namely parity, multipara with preeclampsia, multiple pregnancies, diabetes in pregnancy, and chronic hypertension. Based on the regression equation, the probability is 27%.
Conclusions: There are five independent variables that significantly affect preeclampsia in this study, namely parity, multipara with preeclampsia, multiple pregnancies, diabetes in pregnancy, and chronic hypertension.

Authors: N. Sunanda , R. Sahana
Published: January 2025

Background: Pregnant women are at high risk for life threatening complications throughout the pregnancy and during delivery. Early detection of complications and prompt referral to higher level of care can reduce associated adverse maternal outcome. Improvement in quality of maternal child health care at primary health centre, community health centre level, regular training of healthcare provider in emergency obstetrics care is required to curb unnecessary referrals and consequently reducing feto maternal morbidity and mortality.
Methods: This is a observational study conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology, at a tertiary care hospital attached to MMCRI mysuru. Patients are referred from nearby primary health centre, community health centre, district hospital and private hospitals. All referred antenatal and intra- natal patients to our center of>24 weeks of gestational age were studied.
Results: During this study period of 1 year, there were about 9234 admissions of obstetric cases out of which 6535 (70.7%) were referred cases. Maximum cases i.e.,4300 (65%) were in the age group of 20-30years age group. The most common indication for referral was PIH-2091 (32%), preterm labour (Lack of NICU facility)-1110 (17%), followed by fetal distress-718 (11%), lack of maternal ICU facility-8%, lack of cardiologists-4%. Out of the total referred cases, 2287 (35%) delivered vaginally, 3332 (51%) delivered by lower segment caesarean delivery but the remaining 916 obstetric cases did not have the follow up. Maternal morbidity was seen in 2854 (43%) of which requiring ICU admissions in 12%, PPH seen in 7%, requiring dialysis in 3%, puerperal sepsis in 1.8% , wound gaping in 2.1%, Total maternal death were-4.78% neonates were shifted to mother side, whereas 18% were admitted to NICU.
Conclusions: Referral helps healthcare seekers to reach a high level of care in the health system in a span of time. Identification of high risk factors by health personnel and timely decisions about intervention is important. Present study showed that timely referral is crucial for a satisfactory maternal and fetal outcome. In order to reduce unnecessary referral and burden on tertiary care hospitals, strengthening of existing first referral units (FRU) is necessary to provide better services and will help in achieving goal of ideal maternal mortality rate and neonatal mortality rate.

Authors: Mishra Mona , Sachdeva Poonam , Mala Y. M.
Published: January 2025

Non cirrhotic portal fibrosis (NCPF) in pregnancy is a rare occurrence with an in hospital incidence of 0.009%. Management in pregnancy is challenging due to lack of standard protocol and paucity of extensive research in current literature. NCPF if untreated can lead to catastrophic complications and lead to significant maternal morbidity and mortality. We present a case report of a 23-year-old G2A1 female presenting for the first time in pregnancy at 34 weeks’ gestation as a case of NCPF with prelabour rupture of membranes. She was managed with multidisciplinary approach and underwent normal vaginal delivery with satisfactory feto-maternal outcome. NCPF in pregnancy is uncommon and a thorough knowledge about the condition and systematic management at a tertiary care center with a multidisciplinary team is essential. Its prognosis in pregnancy is usually good if managed promptly and systematically.

Recent updates in the management of iron deficiency anemia in Indian patients: literature review and expert opinion
Authors: Anand Chandrika , Singh Rakhi , Tiwari Varsha , Gala Monil , Muchhala Snehal , Kotak Bhavesh
Published: January 2025

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a global issue, particularly affecting pregnant women and children in India. It can lead to severe outcomes such as preterm birth, low birth weight, and increased maternal and perinatal risks. An expert panel of Indian obstetrics and gynecology specialists reviewed the literature and proposed recommendations on IDA's prevalence, diagnosis, management, and challenges such as healthcare access, patient education, and awareness. Management strategies for IDA include dietary adjustments and lifestyle changes, alongside pharmacological treatments, including oral and parenteral iron therapy. Oral iron, though accessible, can cause gastrointestinal side effects, and prevailing misconceptions about its impact on fetal growth affect adherence. Intravenous (IV) iron administration should be considered for patients who experience intolerance, poor adherence, or lack of efficacy with oral iron. Ferric carboxymaltose, a newer IV formulation, is gaining popularity due to its rapid iron replenishment, efficacy and safety, single infusion convenience, and cost-effectiveness in treating pregnant women. Public health initiatives in India like National Nutritional Anemia Control Program and Anemia Mukt Bharat aim to reduce IDA through supplementation programs and education. However, challenges like low adherence to iron supplementation, parasitic infections, and micronutrient deficiencies remain. Overcoming these requires a comprehensive approach, including patient education and effective public health strategies. According to the expert recommendations, managing IDA during pregnancy is vital for maternal and fetal health. A combination of dietary modifications, pharmacological treatments, and public health interventions is crucial to combat this prevalent condition in India and improve maternal and fetal health outcomes.

Errors in blood collection processes pose a significant challenge to healthcare systems, contributing to diagnostic inaccuracies, compromised patient safety, and adverse clinical outcomes. Pre-analytical errors, including patient misidentification, improper labeling, hemolysis, and sample contamination, are among the most common sources of laboratory mistakes. These errors can delay diagnosis, lead to unnecessary medical interventions, and increase healthcare costs. Misidentification and labeling errors, for example, have been linked to life-threatening outcomes in transfusion medicine, while hemolysis often results in falsely elevated laboratory values that can mislead clinical decision-making. Effective strategies to address blood collection errors include leveraging technological innovations, such as barcoding systems and automated labeling, which have demonstrated success in reducing mislabeling incidents. Adherence to standardized guidelines, including protocols established by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), plays a crucial role in maintaining sample integrity. Additionally, phlebotomy training programs and competency assessments ensure that healthcare staff consistently follow best practices, minimizing errors during the collection process. Quality management tools, including Six Sigma and Lean methodologies, further enhance laboratory processes by identifying root causes of errors and implementing targeted improvements. Patient engagement also contributes to error prevention, with informed and active participation serving as an additional safeguard against potential mistakes. The integration of these strategies has shown promise in improving diagnostic reliability and reducing the clinical and economic burden of blood collection errors. By addressing systemic, procedural, and technological factors, healthcare systems can ensure safer and more accurate diagnostic practices, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes. A multidisciplinary focus remains essential for achieving sustainable improvements in blood collection processes and mitigating risks associated with pre-analytical errors.

The Challenge of Invisible Enemies and Risk Mitigation for Parents in Educating Children in the Modern Era
Authors: Sugitanata Arif , Aqila Sarah , Aminah Siti , Abdurrasyied Muhammad Hasyied
Published: January 2025

This study explores the hidden challenges faced by parents in educating children in the modern era, referred to as “invisible enemies”, focusing on digital technology, individualism, academic pressure, peer influence and consumerist culture. It develops adaptive and responsive strategies to address these hidden challenges as a guide for parents. Employing a literature study with a qualitative-exploratory-descriptive approach, this research analyses the risks of the modern era in child education using Ulrich Beck's risk society theory framework. The findings reveal that parents face various hidden risks, such as exposure to inappropriate digital content, social pressures that undermine collective values, and challenges in balancing child protection with fostering independence. These align with the risk society theory, characterized by the risks arising from technological advancements and social changes, which are not only physical but also psychosocial. In this context, parents act as risk mitigation agents. Their role encompasses not only protecting children from the negative impacts of these risks but also equipping them with adaptive skills, instilling collective values, providing support for emotional balance and interests and fostering independence. This study contributes scientifically to the development of parenting strategies that are more responsive to the challenges of the modern era. It also offers practical guidance for parents, educators, and policymakers to create a resilient, ethical generation capable of navigating future socio-technological dynamics.

Molecular tissue markers integrated: A mathematical model approach to evaluating and predicting prostate cancer using molecular tissue markers
Authors: Munda Mihael
Published: January 2025

Purpose: The standard criteria available for the diagnosis of prostate cancer often do not sufficiently predict the course or outcome of this common disease. Evaluating molecular tissue markers, especially those that mark apoptosis and proliferation, in an integrated mathematical model, could contribute to a better understanding of the development and pathogenesis of this disease, aid in the selection of adequate therapies, and open new avenues of therapeutic research.
Materials and methods: Paraffin-embedded prostatectomy specimens were stained according to an immunohistochemical protocol for p53, bcl-2, and CD105. A mathematical model was developed, which incorporated values of tissue markers according to their apoptotic/proliferative characteristics.
Results: The results of tissue marker expression and mathematical modeling were correlated with patient clinical data. We showed that tissue marker values correlated better with clinical data when tissue markers values were incorporated in a mathematical model than when applied alone.

Narrar o grande branco: palavra e imagem em Noite dentro da noite, de Joca Reiners Terron
Authors: Santini Juliana
Published: January 2025

Este trabalho realiza uma análise intersemiótica de Noite dentro da noite – uma autobiografia, de Joca Reiners Terron (2017), problematizando como as fotografias que abrem os capítulos do romance atuam na estruturação de uma narrativa descentrada e fragmentária. A hipótese é de que a impossibilidade de fala do personagem e as imagens, rasuradas, colocam a ditadura militar e o trauma histórico e individual sob o signo do que não pode ser dito – seja porque foi apagado, seja porque sua lembrança é insuportável.  A leitura aqui apresentada articula a composição da voz em segunda pessoa à problematização do endereçamento na narrativa, questionando de que modo a fragmentação e os brancos da memória evidenciam, no romance, realizações da cultura brasileira contemporânea em que palavra e imagem ligam-se aos não-ditos da História ora pelos impactos subjetivos do desaparecimento político, ora pela impossibilidade de narrar o trauma.

Published: January 2025

Background: Androgens, encompassing testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione, serve as pivotal regulators of semen quality in bulls. Despite their recognized efficacy in enhancing sexual performance and fertility in humans, herbal feed supplements remain relatively unexplored in the realm of animal husbandry. Moreover, the prevailing issue of suboptimal semen quality among crossbred bulls poses a significant challenge to the cattle industry. This study aimed to study the impact of herbal feed supplementation on the dynamics of androgen hormones in breeding bulls and its potential to enhance semen quality. Methods: Eighteen Frieswal breeding bulls were divided into three groups: a control cohort (G-I, n=6) provided with a standard diet and two treatment groups (G-II and G-III; n=6 each) enriched with herbal feed supplementation. The supplementation regimen comprised a mixture of Safed musli, Kali musli, Ashwagandha, Shatawar, Vidhara, Bidarikand, along with Gokhru and Sahajan seeds, administered at doses of 35 g and 70 g in G-II and G-III, respectively, over a duration of four months. Semen quality and hormonal levels (testosterone, DHT, DHEA and androstenedione) were assessed and blood/semen was collected from individual animal at day 0 (initial), 60 (first cycle) and 120 (second cycle) of experimental feeding. Result: The results obtained revealed that DHT levels were significantly (p less than 0.05) lower in both G-II and G-III after 60 and 120 days of supplementation compared to those recorded in the control group. However, testosterone, DHEA and androstenedione levels did not vary significantly among groups. The inclusion of herbal supplements significantly (p less than 0.05) improved semen volume and initial progressive motility, suggesting enhanced sperm functionality. Additionally, sperm viability increased and abnormality decreased significantly (p less than 0.05) in supplemented groups, further indicating improved semen quality. It was concluded that herbal feed supplementation improves sperm motility and semen volume in breeding bulls and the concurrent decrease in blood dihydrotestosterone levels suggests a potential mechanism underlying these enhancements.

Published: January 2025

Iraq is a land of rich and diverse cultural heritage, shaped by thousands of years of history. As a crossroads of civilisations, the country bears the marks of many cultures, beliefs, and religions, each leaving a distinct imprint on its people and landscape. However, there are many groups and communities marginalised on religious, ethnic, linguistic, and cultural grounds in Iraq. It is the heritage of such marginalised groups that is most at risk of disappearance. The Handbook of Iraqi People’s Heritage is the result of a collaboration between the Institute of Development Studies (IDS), UK, and the University of Duhok in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. It is the fulfilment of a vision of heritage gathering and preservation that would not have been possible without the heroic efforts of the heritage gatherers: the young women and men who sought out the histories, traditions, practices, and places that constitute the heritage of their own respective communities. Personal narratives and excerpts from individuals interviewed provide rich content for the chapters that feature nine communities: the Armenians; the Assyrians; the Chaldeans; the Kakeyîs; the Sabean-Mandaeans; the Shabak; the Syriac Orthodox; the Turkmen of Tal Afar; and the Yazidis. The Handbook looks at the living heritage in the day-to-day life and activities of both individuals and communities. Traditions and practices reveal the deep cultural significance in the daily activities surrounding food and drink, music, clothing, and language and education. Similarly, there are the traditions focused around festivals, religious holidays, rituals, feasts, celebrations, and remembrance. Heritage is what is so meaningful in our lives that we choose to pass it on to the generations to come. Reaching beyond buildings and belongings, there is also the intangible heritage reflected in oral histories, traditions and practices, and personal and collective memories. This Handbook reflects the remarkable resilience and enduring strength of all the communities featured. Their continued preservation of collective memories, traditions, and history, despite the hardships, is testament to the communities themselves.

Introdução: A insegurança alimentar é um fenômeno complexo que pode causar repercussões na vida das pessoas, mas sua avaliação, frequentemente baseada em estudos transversais, limita a análise de suas consequências causais. Objetivo: Descrever aspectos metodológicos de um estudo longitudinal prospectivo sobre o impacto da insegurança alimentar na saúde de gestantes/puérperas, seus filhos e mulheres não gestantes. Métodos: Foram construídas duas coortes abertas: uma de gestantes/puérperas e outra de mulheres não gestantes, recrutadas em Unidades de Saúde da Família (USF) de João Pessoa, entre outubro de 2018 e agosto de 2020. Foi avaliada a situação de insegurança alimentar familiar utilizando a Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar (EBIA), estado de ansiedade com Inventario de Ansiedade Traço-Estado, qualidade de vida com a escala WHOQoL versão breve, avaliação de atividade física com a escala IPAQ versão curta, avaliação do consumo alimentar com recordatório 24 horas e antropometria seguindo recomendações do Ministério da Saúde. Resultados: Foram recrutadas 402 mulheres, com quatro entrevistas realizadas em intervalos de cerca de 3 meses: uma na USF, duas visitas domiciliares e uma por telefone. Participaram 270, 212 e 110 mulheres nas entrevistas subsequentes, sendo a última restrita às puérperas. O estudo enfrentou desafios como dificuldades na retenção de participantes e ajustes logísticos devido à pandemia, mas garantiu a integridade do protocolo. Conclusão: O estudo demonstrou alternativas viáveis para pesquisas de coorte, superando desafios e assegurando qualidade metodológica. Os resultados contribuirão para compreender as relações causais entre insegurança alimentar e desfechos de saúde.
Chinese Muslim Community and Pseudo-Multiculturalism in West Kalimantan, Indonesia

Published: January 2025

This research aims to explore pluralism in West Kalimantan, a paradoxical place in Indonesia, where multi-religious and multi-ethnic people meet. For social researchers, this situation is unique because, on the one hand, West Kalimantan is known as a conflict-prone area in Indonesia. On the other hand, part of its territory, namely the Singkawang area, is called the most tolerant area.  Previous researchers assumed this situation was false because conflicts between religious and ethnic groups still occur frequently. However, the communication strategies and social interactions by ethnic groups in this area have rarely been investigated. The role of the Chinese Muslim group is significant in bringing about harmonization between the polarised groups. Chinese Muslims have provided a link that is socially very instrumental in deconstructing the firm ethnic and religious group identities and boundaries. Although they seem to form their own identity, two sides of that identity are related to religious groups and ethnic groups. Their presence thus balances inter-group communications and interactions. In conclusion, theoretically, the presence of the Chinese Muslim community in West Kalimantan breaks the ice of identity and becomes a bridge of communication between communities.
Irfānī Epistemology and Indonesian Islam from Jabiri’s Fragmentation to Neo-Sadra’s Integration: An Islamic Philosophical Approach
Authors: Al Walid Kholid , Miri Mohsen , Rijal Syamsul , Gama Cipta Bakti , Norman Nurul Ain
Published: January 2025

This research departs from the conflict between Jabiri's fragmented geo-epistemology and his antipathy towards ‘irfānī epistemology, vis a vis the character and style of Indonesian Islamic reasoning. The strong influence of Jabiri's thoughts in this country makes it important to answer the question of the development of the discourse on the criticism of Arab Islamic reasoning, how Indonesian figures absorb his thoughts, and how to develop them in the future. Using the qualitative method and an Islamic philosophical approach, this research comes to the following conclusions: first, Jabiri's fragmented geo-epistemology is not consistent with its initial holistic vision, is stuck in a selective attitude, fails to appreciate Eastern Islamic culture, and rests on assumptions of rationality that lack depth. Second, Jabiri's influence in Indonesian Islamic discourse has not made local figures adhere to a fragmented epistemology, nor have they become antipathetic towards ‘irfānī reasoning. Third, the development of integrative epistemology and 'irfānī epistemology in Indonesian Islamic reasoning can be enriched with a foothold on Neo-Sadra philosophical models. All data in this study were collected using library research methods.
Contribuições do planejamento estratégico para a organização do plano de desenvolvimento institucional de uma instituição de ensino superior
Authors: Vieira Josimar de Aparecido , Falabrette Lusimar
Published: January 2025

O Plano de Desenvolvimento Institucional (PDI) é considerado um dos instrumentos basilares da organização e gestão de uma instituição de ensino superior (IES), que tem por finalidade estabelecer a missão, a filosofia, o histórico, as estratégias de desenvolvimento, a estrutura organizacional, a forma de gestão, os programas, as metas, as diretrizes pedagógicas, os planos a médio e longo prazo e as atividades acadêmicas. Destarte, este estudo analisa um PDI e as contribuições do planejamento estratégico (PE) para a gestão de uma IES. Para tanto, foram estabelecidas duas questões que orientam a sua produção: a) como se caracteriza um PDI de uma IES e que relações são possíveis de serem estabelecidas com o PE? e b) quais metodologias são utilizadas na construção do PDI das IES? O trabalho foi produzido por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e análise de documentos de uma IES, assumindo a forma de um estudo de caso envolvido por uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa. Na sua constituição, apresenta o percurso metodológico, a importância do PE no PDI, as metodologias de construção do PDI e do PE, as contribuições do PE para o PDI e a gestão de uma IES e as considerações finais. Os resultados indicam que o PDI consiste em um documento organizado a partir do PE, que retrata a identidade da IES: sua filosofia de trabalho, missão, as estratégias para atingir metas e objetivos, a estrutura organizacional e as diretrizes.

Published: January 2025

O presente artigo problematiza os diferentes significados da comida étnica de refugiados empreendedores na cidade de São Paulo sob a perspectiva do acolhimento, e tem por objeto de estudo a venda da denominada comida étnica/tradicional em pequenos empreendimentos. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas in loco com refugiados empreendedores provenientes da Síria, Palestina, Turquia, Uganda e Venezuela, com o propósito de averiguar o contexto de refúgio, a origem étnica, as motivações para empreender na área de gastronomia e os significados da sua comida de origem. Após a análise de conteúdo dos elementos dialógicos das entrevistas, realizou-se a triangulação com dimensões inerentes à teoria em hospitalidade. Os resultados apontam que os refugiados entrevistados têm histórias de acolhimento em sua chegada ao Brasil. Além do sustento, a comida étnica proporciona visibilidade à cultura, aos costumes e às realidades diferentes daquelas veiculadas pela mídia, caracterizadas por conflitos, guerras e miséria, como também, por meia desta, estabelecem-se novas relações sociais.
Exploring the candidates Bi2XX′O6
(XX′ = CuPt, CuRh, CoCd, NiRu) through first-principle calculation

Spintronics is a rapidly emerging field that leverages the spin of electrons to
achieve advanced processing capabilities, surpassing the performance of
traditional electronics. Ferromagnetic half-metals (FM-HM) have been identified
as ideal candidates for such applications. This study investigates the
properties of bismuth-based double perovskites with the formula Bi2
XX′O6 (XX′ = CuPt, CuRh, CoCd, NiRu) through density
functional theory calculations, performed using the Vienna Ab initio Simulation
Package (VASP). Structural optimizations were conducted using the generalized
gradient approximation (GGA), with additional consideration of strong
correlation effects through the GGA+U method. To determine the stable magnetic
states of these materials, we computed and compared their energies across four
magnetic configurations: ferromagnetic (FM), ferrimagnetic (FiM),
antiferromagnetic (AFM), and nonmagnetic (NM). Our results indicate that Bi
2CuPtO6, Bi2CuRhO6, and Bi2
CoCdO6 exhibit half-metallic and FM properties. These materials also
remain stable when on-site Coulomb interactions are incorporated. In contrast,
Bi2NiRuO6 does not display half-metallicity or FM
characteristics. This theoretical study identifies promising candidates for
half-metallic magnets and provides a foundation for future experimental
validation of these bismuth-based double perovskites.
