The aim of the present study was to investigate the profile of hospital morbidity and mortality due to COPD in Brazil between 2011 and 2021, in order to understand the evolution of related health indicators and identify the need for improvement in public policies for prevention and treatment strategies. for the disease. From the processed information, a significant decrease in the prevalence of hospitalizations for COPD was evidenced. The age groups that represented the highest numbers of hospitalizations were “50 years or older” and “under 5 years”. Proportional mortality declined, while COPD-specific mortality did not change statistically significantly over the entire decade. Mortality showed an increasing pattern according to age group, with more than 40% of deaths occurring in individuals aged 80 years or older. The highest numbers of hospitalizations and deaths occurred in the Southeast, South and Northeast regions, with a predominance of males. COPD is a problem that requires greater attention from health services, because despite the decrease in hospitalizations due to exacerbations, severe forms of the disease are still frequent, which highlights weaknesses in the primary and secondary prevention of the disease. Thus, new studies that extensively investigate the factors that determine the epidemiological behavior of the disease are fundamental, because only in this way can strategies and interventions be developed to improve trends in hospitalization and mortality due to COPD in Brazil.
Narrativa e Trauma em Vinte e Zinco, de Mia Couto
Authors: Silva Nathaly Ohanna Freitas da , Moreira Terezinha Taborda
Published: January 2024

Este estudo busca investigar como o romance Vinte e Zinco, do escritor moçambicano, Mia Couto (2014), encena as experiências traumáticas do período colonial vivenciadas pelas personagens da obra. Por meio de conceitos como melancolia e luto; e encenação e elaboração, pretende-se evidenciar a polifonia de vozes que permeia a obra, a ligação entre o discurso histórico e o discurso ficcional, e ainda destacar a heterogeneidade na construção identitária dos sujeitos ficcionais, que reivindicam seu lugar de fala, seu modo de narrar e de lidar com os traumas causados pela violência do processo colonial. Para fomentar nossa discussão, recorreremos aos estudos de Abreu (2018), sobre a teoria do trauma; e a Bhabha (1998), para compreendermos o conceito de “entrelugar”.
As tomadas de Chaimite na obra cinematográfica de Jorge do Canto e na literatura de Mia Couto
Authors: Franco Roberta Guimarães , Garcia Tânia de Resende
Published: January 2024

Joaquim Augusto Mouzinho de Albuquerque foi um tenente-coronel português que liderou o ataque ao último imperador africano da região sul de Moçambique: o Ngungunyane, na vila de Chaimite. Esse feito lhe trouxe muita glória e prestígio em Portugal, no final do século XIX, sendo então nomeado Governador-Geral de Moçambique em 1896. A captura de Ngungunyane, então, foi utilizada como propaganda pelo Estado Novo português, tornando-se estratégia de resgate da memória e de uso da História como um projeto político e de sistematização ideológica, além de um momento emblemático. Este emprego propagandístico se deu através da produção cinematográfica Chaimite: a queda do Império Vátua (1953), realizada pelo cineasta português Jorge Brum do Canto. Já como um personagem literário, no livro Sombras da água (2016), do escritor Mia Couto, a representação de Mouzinho se difere quando confrontada à da história portuguesa. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar as narrativas desse evento em ambas as perspectivas: cinematográfica e literária. Se o longa-metragem tinha como propósito a construção imagética de um herói a partir da História, na narrativa de Couto, diferentes são as impressões a respeito desse tenente-coronel, ora visto como um salvador da pátria, ora visto como mais um português soberbo em solo africano.

Published: January 2024

As interactive computer systems and their digital electronic devices become increasingly complex and sophisticated, the inclusion of accessibility features has often been neglected both in developing these systems and their instruments and in teaching during the formation of Computer professionals. This work seeks to map the presence of content related to digital accessibility in undergraduate courses in Brazilian public institutions, such as Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Information Systems, and Degree in Computer. For this, two stages of data collection were carried out. First, we identified the active courses using the federal government’s e-MEC platform. Then, we searched for the contents of the courses’ pedagogical projects through documentary research. The results indicate that 46% of the analyzed courses include teaching about digital accessibility.

Automatic Classification of Learning Material Styles
Authors: Aquino Bernadete , Souza Jairo Francisco de , Barrére Eduardo
Published: January 2024

Although video lessons are often used in diverse areas, the lack of a common approach to defining and classifying their styles results in using many different models for these purposes. There is a need to build a framework through which these styles can be defined and classified. Much has been done to investigate the effects of these styles on student engagement and learning outcomes. These studies suggest that video lesson styles affect academic performance and that students learn better through a certain video lesson style. Based on this, we propose a unified model for classifying video lesson styles based on the nomenclatures and definitions used in the literature. Furthermore, we present an approach for automatically classifying four popular video lesson styles. The automatic classification is useful for recommendation systems to suggest materials more consistent with student preferences and their intended learning outcomes.
Ethik und Ästhetik in der dekadenten Literatur vor und nach Nietzsche
Authors: Landgraf Diemo
Published: January 2024

Im Frankreich des 19. Jahrhunderts geht die Entwicklung einer modernen Ästhetik im Werk Théophile Gautiers, Charles Baudelaires, Gustave Flauberts und Joris-Karl Huysmans’ mit einer Kritik der modernen, als dekadent empfundenen Gesellschaft einher. Die Philosophie des gegen Ende seines Schaffens von der littérature décadente maßgeblich beeinflussten Friedrich Nietzsche ist ein Kulminationspunkt der europäischen Dekadenzkritik. Bereits bekannte Tendenzen wie der Vitalismus und die Abkehr von der traditionellen Moral als Antwort auf den Nihilismus liegen zentralen Motiven und Thesen wie dem Kult des Dionysischen, dem Gedanken der ewigen Wiederkunft und der Lehre vom Übermenschen zugrunde. Die Philosophie Nietzsches wiederum wurde um 1900 von nahezu allen bedeutenden an die littérature décadente anknüpfenden und die ästhetische Avantgarde vorbereitenden Autoren in Europa rezipiert, fiktional in Anwendung gebracht und dadurch kritisch reflektiert: von Gabriele D’Annunzio und André Gide über die spanische Generation von 1898 und Eça de Queirós bis zu Thomas Mann. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht diese Zusammenhänge gestützt auf Einzelinterpretationen von Werken der genannten Autoren unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Spannungsverhältnisses zwischen Ethik und Ästhetik.
Development of a Brain Tumor Vaccine
Authors: Lichtor Terry , Tang Bingtao , J. Roy Edward
Published: January 2024

Glioma is a malignant brain tumor associated with a poor outcome. Attempts at surgical removal of the tumor are the first approach. Additional necessary treatment strategies including cranial irradiation and systemic or local chemotherapy each have serious side effects and provide relatively minimal survival benefits. Antigenic differences between normal and malignant cells of the cancer patient form the rationale for clinical immunotherapeutic strategies. Cytokines such as IL-15 or IL-2 that stimulate an antitumor immune response have been shown to have a particularly high potential for use in immunotherapy against various tumors. In this chapter studies with either a poxvirus genetically engineered to secrete IL-15 or allogeneic fibroblasts engineered to secrete IL-2 are shown to be an effective treatment strategy in prolonging survival in mice with malignant intracerebral tumors upon injection of the treatment cells into the brain. Future studies with these treatment strategies in patients with intracerebral tumors are urgently needed.
TLRs and other molecules signaling crosstalk in diseases
Authors: Yang Chao , Yuan Ruoxi
Published: January 2024

Inflammatory diseases affect human health and the quality of life, causing heavy medical burdens in our society. Multiple pathogen-related molecular patterns, risk-related molecular patterns, and inflammatory cytokines exist in the inflammatory environment; these molecules activate immune cells and trigger inflammatory responses through pattern recognition receptors and cytokine receptors. Inflammatory molecules can activate immune cells alone or together through signaling crosstalk. For example, macrophages pretreated with interferon γ enhance Toll-like receptor 4 signal-induced gene expression through epigenetic remodeling. However, there are multiple forms of interactions between inflammatory molecules, including synergistic effects and antagonistic effects. At present, the forms of crosstalk between inflammatory molecules and TLRs that participate in immune cell activation and inflammatory disease progression and their detailed mechanisms are not fully discovered yet. In this chapter, we will enumerate the interaction between different immune molecules and TLRs and discuss how the interactions affect the process of inflammatory disease development and progression.

Published: January 2024

Linz-Donawitz (LD) slag, a by-product of steel manufacturing process, is rich in iron oxide, calcium oxide, silica, various macro, and micronutrients as well as varying degrees of heavy metals residues. The steel slag, thus, presents an opportunity for their utilization in agriculture beyond the conventional routes of consumption in cement, transport, construction industries. In this chapter, we explore a sustainable waste management technology for utilizing LD slag in the development of sulfur enriched nutrient supplement “Dhurvi Gold (DG)” and determine its effect on physico-chemical characteristics of the soil and its impact in the growth, quality, and economic yield on selected crops under natural field conditions. Heavy metal accumulation among the plant parts following the supplementation with DG was also studied. The results indicate the farming and economic benefits of utilizing DG in agriculture, which thus, presents itself as an opportunity both for the steel industry and the agriculture sector desirable for the development of a sustainable strategy for management of steel (LD)-slag. However, it is important to determine the long-term effects of the steel slag-based fertilizers on physico-chemical and biological characteristics of soil including accumulation of heavy metals in soil-plant continuum, if any.
Modeling of Diffusion-Collection Mechanisms in Semiconductor Devices Submitted to Ionizing Radiation
Authors: Munteanu Daniela , Autran Jean-Luc
Published: January 2024

When an ionizing particle passes through a semiconductor device, it transfers energy and generates electron-hole pairs along its path. The excess carriers are subsequently transported throughout the semiconductor’s volume via ambipolar diffusion until they either recombine or are collected and extracted typically by a biased contact or a reverse-biased p-n junction. To predict the transient electrical behavior of complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices and circuits when exposed to ionizing radiation and assess their soft error rate (SER), it is fundamental to accurately model these diverse physical processes. In this chapter, we present a comprehensive modeling and analysis of the diffusion and collection mechanisms of radiation-induced charges through a semiconductor device. Analytical formulations of the collected charge, collection current, and collection velocity are developed. These equations are further employed to establish an analytical formulation of the soft error rate (SER), explaining its exponential dependence on the critical charge of the circuit. This formulation also links the SER to various physical and technological parameters, as well as to the characteristics of the radiation.

Published: January 2024

Own to its negative effect on the global ecosystem, air pollution has been a growing concern. Developed world had taken it on top priority long before, now they breathe the air of much better quality. Contrarily, air pollution was not on the priority list of developing worlds. Consequently, air pollution in regions such as South Asia is 5–9 times higher than in the developed world and the world’s topmost polluted cities lie in South Asian countries including Pakistan. Now, due to the apparent and widespread, effects and pressure from the local and global community, Pakistan has started taking the air pollution problem more seriously. The governments have taken multiple initiatives concerning monitoring and control of air pollution from industries. However, due to several challenges, the implementation is slow. To increase the pace of air pollution management in the country it is imperative to explore the underlying factors. This chapter synthesizes the available knowledge on the status of air pollution from industrial sources, its control, treatment technologies, and factors slowing the air pollution control and then in the light of this knowledge, provides suggestions to improve the pollution management problem in the country.

Brief Explanation About Diverticular Disease
Authors: Onur Demirel Ahmet , Yavuz Burak , Kaycı Yunus
Published: January 2024

Diverticula, sac-like protrusions in hollow organ walls appear throughout the gastrointestinal system, most commonly in the duodenum near the ampulla. They are classified as true (congenital, with all intestinal wall layers) and false diverticula (acquired, with a muscular layer defect). Duodenal diverticula are usually asymptomatic, found incidentally during endoscopies. Symptoms, when present, manifest as dyspeptic complaints. Radiographs show these diverticula as atypical gas balloons, while CT scans reveal them as mass-like structures. Complications are rare but can include obstruction, bleeding, perforation, and blind loop syndrome. Less than 5% require surgical intervention due to complications. Treatment typically involves endoscopic or surgical excision. The management of biliary and pancreatic complications remains debatable.
Management of the First Patellar Dislocation
Authors: Ercan Niyazi
Published: January 2024

Acute primary patellar dislocation can occur due to high-energy trauma or be associated with facilitating factors. Following a comprehensive physical examination, computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are necessary, along with anteroposterior and lateral knee radiographs, to diagnose additional injuries and assess underlying facilitating factors. Surgical treatments take precedence in the presence of facilitating factors such as patella alta, increased tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove distance, trochlear dysplasia, increased patellar tilt, and the presence of osteochondral fractures. However, in the absence of these factors, conservative treatment is usually sufficient. Additionally, there is no clear consensus on which surgical strategy to use in the approach to the first dislocation, considering the possible variability in the location of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) injury and the ultimate presence of predisposing factors for patellar instability. While MPFL reconstruction may theoretically be more reliable than repair, there is no clear evidence on whether bone abnormalities should be corrected after the first patellar dislocation.

Published: January 2024

Advances in plant biotechnology and microbial genetics are speeding up because of the urgent need to provide a steady supply of resources. Growing cost of crude oil is having a negative impact on economies throughout the globe. Just biodiesel and bioethanol have been recognized as viable fossil fuel replacements. Chemical catalysis is primary way to synthesize biodiesel, besides enzymatic and microbial methods also play important role in biodiesel synthesis. These processes may play a significant part in the replacement of petroleum-based diesel in the future. The growth of sustainable, economically feasible biotechnological tools for the synthesis of biodiesel requires strong collaboration among several disciplines. In this age, lipases are the preferred enzymes for producing methyl esters (FAME), which are significant biological objects in biodiesel, from fatty acid esters (FAE) derived from fats and oils. It has also been shown that designed whole-cell microorganisms may directly produce FAE (MicroDiesel). The expensive cost of the biocatalyst continues to be a barrier to current enzymatic procedures, although advancements have recently been achieved, enabling the first synthetic enzymatic biodiesel synthesis. The fabrication of biodiesel which is enzymatic is primarily desirable due to the initial materials (waste frying oils, oils that were having high water content, etc.), where standard interesterification which is chemical is seldom applicable.

Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is a condition observed in older adults, marked by a simultaneous presence of low muscle mass and high body fat mass. The document highlights the complex interplay of aging, hormonal changes, pro-inflammatory pathways, myocellular mechanisms, and oxidative stress as contributors to SO. It discusses the need for a standardized definition, as various criteria have been proposed over the years. The prevalence of SO varies in different populations, and its screening involves assessing body mass index (BMI) or waist circumference along with validated questionnaires. The document emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnostic methods, including measuring muscle mass, strength, and physical performance. The adverse health consequences of SO include increased risk of disability, cardiometabolic abnormalities, fractures, depression, mortality, and reduced quality of life. Lastly, the management of SO involves a multifaceted approach that focuses on gaining muscle mass while losing fat mass, primarily through resistance training, essential amino acid supplementation, dietary protein intake, and other emerging treatments.

Published: January 2024

Trypanosomes are hemoflagellates that reside in peripheral blood and tissues of the host caused by infection with protozoan parasites belonging to the genus Trypanosoma. Types: Human African Trypanosomiasis – HAT (sleeping sickness) &American Trypanosomiasis (Chagas’ disease). Metacyclic trypomastigotes is the infective form. C/F includes Fever, headaches, irritability, extreme fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, aching muscles and joints. Chronic Chagas’: cardiomyopathy with congestive heart failure. Diagnosis: examination of blood smears during the acute disease usually shows trypomastigotes. Serologic testing is used for screening purposes only. PCR of kDNA may also be used. Isothermal amplification technology (i.e., RPA or LAMP), possibly enhanced by combining it with a highly specific CRISPR-Cas step, will fulfil all the requirements of a modern target product profile for HAT diagnosis. Drugs used are Pentamidine, Suramin (first stage) & Melarsoprol, Eflornithine, Nifurtimox (second stage). Fexinidazole is used in both stages. Newer drugs include Pafuramidine & Acoziborole
Elven chora : feminine space and power in Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings
Authors: Ghanbarian Parisa , Hoorvash Mona , Hashemi Mahsa
Published: January 2024

The Lord of the Rings has earned Tolkien high praise as well as a reputation for misogyny due to its scarce and marginal female characters. A rather neglected aspect of Tolkien's trilogy which challenges this notion is the femininity embedded within the story and its significance in the value system of the novel. Despite depicting fewer female human characters, Tolkien has created a race which is dominantly characterized by feminine attributes: the race of the Elves. Questioning the accusations of misogyny through a feminist psychoanalytic reading, this study uses Kristeva's chora to recognize the Elven lands as feminine space dominated by the semiotic rather than the symbolic, and Irigaray's notion of puissance to unearth the celebration of feminine power in the novels' depiction of the Elves. The careful consideration of the Elves, their society and their lands demonstrate the preference for the feminine which is in contrast with the phallic.
Freshwater habitat restoration
Authors:   UK Houses of Parliament, Bennett Oliver
Published: January 2024

Freshwater habitats, such as rivers and wetlands, provide major benefits to society through services such as flood risk reduction and drinking water. However, many of these habitats are in a poor condition. They have been damaged by a range of human activities including physical modification and pollution. For example, an estimated 90% of wetlands have been lost over the last century. Restoration of freshwater habitats can be achieved by addressing the causes of degradation and by enhancing or extending habitats. There is good evidence on the benefits of some forms of restoration. For example, restoration can deliver effective flood defence and restore fish populations. However, certain restoration measures are less well-studied. There are numerous national and international targets for the restoration of freshwater habitats. These include a commitment to improving at least 75% of waters to close to their natural state as soon as practicable by 2042. However, some stakeholders believe that these commitments will not be met under current plans in England. There have been calls for various actions including: increased and long-term funding to deliver larger-scale projects changes to policy and legislation to deliver more joined-up decision making and to include small water bodies and headwaters further prevention of degradation, including better enforcement of existing legislation the removal of barriers to nature-based solutions Policy in this area is devolved. For England, the UK Government published a Plan for Water in 2023 that contained new actions to help improve the condition of freshwater habitats. The Office for Environmental Protection will publish an assessment of the Government’s approach in 2024.

Policy for Attacking Poverty Case: Cambodia
Authors: Vanny Marvin , Frinaldi Aldri , Sok Vanny
Published: January 2024

What are the causes of poverty? And why is poverty so widespread in the world? To answer these frequently asked questions, there are several factors to consider when it comes to the aspects that contribute to the causes of poverty. Factors such as economic, political, institutional and cultural aspects can all influence the case. As can be seen in Cambodia, the last decade has seen significant economic growth and poverty reduction, accompanied by numerous structural policy changes. However, a significant wealth and income gap still exists between the country's lower and upper classes, while the sudden onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has devastated Cambodia and pushed many people into poverty. Additionally, rural and low-income families face challenges accessing services and jobs, necessitating the focus on improving public institutions' capacities for effective resource management and responsible service delivery. This article hopes to provide valuable information to future researchers on poverty alleviation policies in Cambodia and the factors that contribute to urban-rural poverty.

This study attempted to fill a knowledge gap regarding experiences and perspectives of pre-elderly employees in a formal private- sector who underwent the work transition from a formal sector to an informal sector. A case study research method was conducted with 3 0 in- depth interviews of formal private-sector employees who have shifted to work in the informal sector after 45 years of age. The results can be divided into 3 main parts: Firstly, with regard to a change from a formal to an informal sector, home- based workers, domestic workers and agricultural workers are the most vulnerable groups that face difficulty in achieving the transition into the formal sector. Secondly, the determinants of a worker aged 45 and above to change from a formal sector to an informal sector consisted of more than one factor. The reasons include external factors (e.g. an economic crisis, and massive floods in 2011), and internal factors (e.g. stress during work, work- life unbalance, own health problems or other family member's health problems, desire for career advancement, and own desire to work independently) . Thirdly, factors that help to smooth transitions to a new job in the informal sector including having sufficient savings before withdrawing from the formal work sector, existing networking to help reduce the risk of being incomeless after withdrawing from a monthly wage of the formal work sector, having information, knowledge or skills related to the new business or new jobs to work in the informal sector. Such information and knowledge include the use of previous skills to apply in a new job in the informal sector.

O problema que instiga o desenvolvimento dessa pesquisa é como o bibliotecário lida com os processos de gestão da informação e do conhecimento em sua atuação e quais cursos de bacharelado em Biblioteconomia presencias, de universidades públicas da Região Sul do Brasil, oferecem em seus currículos disciplinas voltadas aos processos de gestão. A pesquisa objetivou analisar a gestão da informação e do conhecimento na atuação bibliotecária e se os currículos de cursos de bacharelado em Biblioteconomia presenciais, de universidades públicas da Região Sul do Brasil oferecem disciplinas de gestão em suas matrizes curriculares. Em seu arcabouço metodológico, pode ser classificada como uma pesquisa qualitativa, tipologicamente exploratória e descritiva, com delineamentos bibliográficos e documentais. Tomou para si, a tarefa de analisar os currículos de cursos de bacharelado em Biblioteconomia presenciais, de universidades públicas da Região Sul do Brasil. Além disso, foram feitas reflexões e inferências sobre a gestão da informação e do conhecimento em contextos organizacionais, assim como na atuação bibliotecária. Os fluxos formais, informais e híbridos foram situados na atuação bibliotecária, em seu aspecto gerencial, no que se refere a biblioteca como uma organização aprendente. A partir dos resultados e de uma análise no contexto da atuação profissional bibliotecária, conclui-se que grande parte dos desafios referentes a atuação bibliotecária, ante a cultura organizacional e aos fluxos híbridos, dizem respeito a ausência de autonomia profissional, no que tange à tomada de decisões e na implementação de ações que contem com visibilidade, divulgação e adesão por parte das instituições mantenedoras de tais espaços. Sendo assim, acredita-se que o estudo contribui com a área de Biblioteconomia, evidenciando a importância da inclusão de disciplinas do eixo de gestão na grade curricular dos cursos, para que a atuação bibliotecária como gestor de organizações aprendentes sejam assertivas e eficazes.
A study on gisaeng appearing in 『Daegyeongseong Guide』 and the Joseon Exhibition in 1929
Authors:   Korean Society of Gyobang and Culture, Shin HyunGyu
Published: January 2024

This paper attempted to analyze the content and reveal its meaning, focusing on the tourist guide 『Daegyeongseong Guide』 published in 1929 and the gisaeng image that appeared in the Joseon Expo. In particular, the 1929 Guide to Daegyeongseong has many references to the Joseon Expo. The Joseon Expo held at Gyeongbokgung Palace in 1929 was an ambitious project promoted by the Japanese Government-General of Korea to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the city administration. Moreover, among the many performances held at the Joseon Expo, the performance of the Gisaeng Association, or Gwonbeon Gisaeng, was very popular.
With that argument, the motive for publication of 『Daegyeongseong Guide』 was clearly stated in the book. As can be seen from this, it was produced to coincide with the ‘Joseon Expo’ held in 1929. The editor gives meaning to the Joseon Expo to the extent that he calls it an important duty and not an accident. Originally, the purpose of the exposition was to provide an exhibition effect to a large number of people in a short period of time, so the exposition presented gisaeng as a symbol of Joseon. In this way, the image of gisaeng became a decisive opportunity to imprint gisaeng as a representative image of Joseon to people at home and abroad, and even to those who did not visit the exhibition, it gave a hint that the flower of the fair was gisaeng.
Here, the image of a gisaeng has an important meaning. 『Daegyeongseong Guide』 appears to be almost identical in content and format to travel guides published in Japan, including the Japanese Government-General of Korea.
Of course, the length of the guide differs somewhat, but it is difficult to find differentiation. Among them, considering the inclusion of images of parasites, it can be understood as an image representing Japan’s imperialist ideology against the ‘other’ called Joseon.
