O Lúpus Eritematoso Sistêmico é uma doença autoimune crônica que afeta diversos órgãos e sistemas do corpo humano. O tratamento tradicional inclui o uso de imunossupressores e anti-inflamatórios, mas enfrenta limitações, como efeitos adversos e eficácia variável. Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura, selecionando artigos entre 2019 e 2024 de bases de dados como Scielo, BVS e LILACS. Após a aplicação de filtros, critérios de inclusão e exclusão, utilizando estudos que focaram sobre novas abordagens terapêuticas para o LES, restaram 29 artigos. As terapias emergentes, como belimumabe e telitacicept, apresentaram eficácia na redução da atividade da doença em pacientes com lúpus. O belimumabe mostrou resultados positivos na diminuição da dependência de corticosteroides e no controle da nefrite lúpica. O telitacicept foi eficaz em casos refratários a outros tratamentos, destacando-se pela redução da proteinúria. No entanto, ainda há variabilidade quanto à dosagem e à segurança a longo prazo. As terapias emergentes mostraram avanços significativos no tratamento do LES. Apesar disso, há desafios relacionados à padronização da dosagem e à avaliação de segurança a longo prazo. Além disso, há lacunas no conhecimento sobre o uso dessas terapias em populações específicas, como gestantes e idosos. As novas terapias, particularmente os agentes biológicos, representam um avanço no tratamento do LES. Contudo, mais estudos são necessários para avaliar sua eficácia e segurança a longo prazo, bem como a adequação para diferentes perfis de pacientes.

Utilizing Deep Learning Techniques for Effective Zero-Day Attack Detection
Authors: Saurabh Kansal
Published: February 2025

Zero-day attacks take use of undiscovered flaws to evade detection by cybersecurity detection systems. According to the findings, zero-day attacks are prevalent and pose a serious risk to computer security. Zero-day attacks are difficult to detect using the conventional signature-based detection approach since their signatures are usually not accessible in advance. Because machine learning (ML)-based detection techniques can capture the statistical features of assaults, they hold promise for the detection of zero-day attacks. This survey study presents a thorough analysis of ML-based methods for detecting zero-day attacks, comparing their ML models, training and testing data sets, and assessment outcomes. Test data samples are assumed to be drawn from pre-observed classes that were utilized in the training phase using the usual ML assessment process. In applications like Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDSs), it might be difficult to gather data samples of every attack type that has to be monitored. Because they were non-existent at the time, zero-day attacks—a novel kind of attack traffic that ML-based NIDSs encounter—are not utilized in training. Consequently, this study suggests a new zero-shot learning approach to assess how well ML-based NIDSs identify zero-day attack scenarios. In order to differentiate between known assaults and benign behaviour, the learning models in the attribute learning step translate network data characteristics to semantic attributes. The models build connections between known and zero-day attacks during the inference step in order to identify them as malicious. Zero-day Detection Rate (Z-DR), a new assessment metric, is created to assess how well the learning model detects unknown assaults. Two important machine learning models and two contemporary NIDS data sets are used to assess the suggested framework. The findings show that ML-based NIDSs are not able to identify certain zero-day attack groups identified in this study as hostile. Subsequent investigation reveals that assaults with a low Z-DR have a greater Wasserstein Distance range and a substantially different feature distribution than the other attack classes.

Published: February 2025

Analyzing big data sets can be difficult due to their intricate patterns and concealed connections.to decrease complexity while retaining essential details necessary for identifying significant trends from this data type. The precision for pattern identification and classification in data with many dimensions, the current study aims to establish a Tensor-Based Pattern Extraction Framework (TPEF). The suggested system employs an organized preparation method to deal with missing values, remove duplication, and standardize the data representation for uniformity. A multi-way tensor can represent the connections among objects. To enable the recognition of noteworthy structures, tensor factorization procedures are used to break down the tensor into lower-dimensional elements. Grouping elements with identical features through methods of clustering improves their comprehension. More exact grouping and data representations are made possible by the test results showing that TPEF increases the effectiveness of sequence extraction. The findings demonstrate that data can be better organized using tensor breakdown, which improves computational effectiveness without losing essential information connections. As an adaptable option for different analytical tasks, the present research shows that tensor-based techniques effectively discover undetected patterns in high-dimensional information.

Published: February 2025

The paper is going to analyze the underlying sequence between the two stories of Edgar Allan Poe i.e. “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” and “The Tell-Tale Heart”. Some major observations are made from the perspective of feminism as the former story contains violence against women and the latter is the revenge of that violence. Poe’s stories often challenge patriarchy if it is seen closely beyond the layer of the pages. This study is also a result from the perspective that is an outcome of a close textual and historical research. Though there is no such formal connection between the stories but hypothetically one can consider this analytical sequence as literary research initiative on mastermind Poe.

A IMPORTÂNCIA DO ENCONTRO: CONTRIBUIÇÕES DE UMA RELAÇÃO HUMANIZADA PARA O SUCESSO NA EDUCAÇÃO A DISTÂNCIA
Authors: Aparecido Geremias Agnaldo
Published: February 2025

A educação a distância (EaD) emerge na contemporaneidade como uma modalidade que ultrapassa fronteiras físicas, desafiando os conceitos tradicionais de ensino. Este estudo investiga as nuances da EaD à luz dos conceitos do "Encontro" de Martin Buber, do "Convívio" na construção de comunidades virtuais, e da dualidade "Lugar e Não Lugar" segundo Marc Augé. Esses elementos moldam as experiências de professores e alunos em ambientes virtuais, proporcionando uma visão ampliada das complexidades educacionais, especialmente no Brasil, com seus desafios socioeconômicos e culturais. A interseção das teorias de Buber e Augé com a prática da EaD revela a essência dos encontros virtuais e a necessidade de humanizar o ambiente virtual, promovendo interações autênticas. No contexto do "Convívio", a EaD é vista como um ambiente potencialmente enriquecedor, onde a colaboração e a interação são fundamentais para a criação de comunidades de aprendizado. A dualidade "Lugar e Não Lugar" na EaD destaca o desafio de transformar o espaço virtual em um local significativo de aprendizado, ao mesmo tempo que se reconhece sua natureza transitória. Esta análise abrangente oferece insights para a construção de uma educação inclusiva e transformadora, adaptada às diversas realidades dos estudantes brasileiros.
Bulgarian Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology (BFOG) reference ranges for the Cerebroplacental ratio (CPR)
Authors:   Orthogyn Medical Center, Ignatov Petar , Yordanova-Ignatova Teodora
Published: February 2025

Introduction:
The aim of this study is to establish reference ranges for the cerebroplacental ratio (CPR). This is motivated by two key factors. First, there is a wide variety of similar studies in the scientific literature, but the data presented in them have been processed using very different statistical approaches. This makes comparison between studies challenging and, in some cases, even impossible.
Second, and no less important, some existing nomograms combine highly heterogeneous populations, often including different countries and even continents. Others focus on relatively homogeneous cohorts from smaller geographical regions, which, however, are not sufficiently close to our country to be used as a representative sample for Bulgaria.
Materials and Methods:
To establish the proposed reference ranges for CPR, we conducted a prospective observational study between 2022 and 2024, covering 834 singleton pregnancies between the 28th and 40th gestational weeks. All pregnancies were dated using last menstrual period (LMP) and/or ultrasound measurement of the crown-rump length (CRL) in the first trimester. Pregnancies with complications, fetal anomalies, and multiple gestations were excluded. Doppler measurements were performed by certified specialists according to a standardized protocol. For each gestational week, we calculated the median, 5th, and 95th percentiles.
Results:
Based on the collected data, we developed reference ranges for CPR in the Bulgarian population. Comparative analysis with other nomograms revealed significant differences in numerical values across different gestational weeks.
Conclusions:
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first and currently the only study in Bulgaria that provides reference charts for CPR based on the latest standardized protocols for processing such data. The availability of precisely constructed reference ranges for CPR, reflecting the characteristics of the local population, is a key prerequisite for reducing morbidity and mortality in the early neonatal period, particularly in pregnancies with early-onset fetal growth restriction.
PROLONGED ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT, PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING, AND FRUSTRATION IN PAKISTANI ADULTS: A QUANTITATIVE COMPARATIVE STUDY
Authors: Iqbal Farah , Zahid Aymen , Arif Muhammad Bilal , Fatima Sukaina , Bin Noor Muhammad , Shakil Hira
Published: February 2025

Background: Frustration and psychological well-being are critical factors influencing the experiences of orthodontic patients, particularly during prolonged treatment durations. While global research has explored the psychosocial impacts of orthodontic care, there is limited evidence addressing these variables within the Pakistani population. Cultural stigmas surrounding mental health and extended treatment durations may further exacerbate emotional distress, necessitating a focused investigation into these associations.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between treatment duration and its effects on frustration and psychological well-being among adult orthodontic patients in Pakistan, comparing those with treatment durations of less than four years to those exceeding four years.
Methods: A cross-sectional correlational research design was employed, and purposive sampling was used to recruit 343 participants from public and private hospitals in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad. Eligibility criteria included patients aged 18 years or older who had undergone at least six months of orthodontic treatment. The sample consisted of 273 men (80%) and 70 women (20%), with a mean age of 24.58 years (SD = 4.09). Data were collected using two validated instruments: the 18-item Psychological Well-being Scale and the 28-item Frustration Discomfort Scale. Correlational analysis and independent samples t-tests were performed using SPSS version 29.
Results: A significant negative correlation (r = -0.10, p < .01) was found between frustration and psychological well-being. Patients with treatment durations of more than four years reported higher frustration (M = 75.91, SD = 13.40) and lower psychological well-being (M = 68.31, SD = 15.55) compared to those treated for less than four years (frustration: M = 74.68, SD = 8.89; psychological well-being: M = 70.38, SD = 17.00). However, these differences were not statistically significant.
Conclusion: Prolonged orthodontic treatment appears to negatively influence psychological well-being and increase frustration, though without significant statistical evidence. These findings highlight the importance of addressing psychological factors during extended orthodontic care, particularly in culturally sensitive contexts like Pakistan.

Authors: Javed Amna , Riaz Shahzaib , Ali Pakeeza Shafaqat , Saleem Muhammad Nauman , Sajjad Sara , Ajmal Saba
Published: February 2025

Background: Sciatica is a prevalent condition affecting millions globally, often caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. It manifests through symptoms such as lower back pain, leg discomfort, numbness, tingling sensations, and muscle weakness. Despite its frequency, sciatica remains misdiagnosed or misunderstood, particularly in patients with lower back pain. Given its high prevalence, accurate diagnosis and management are critical for improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
Objective: To evaluate the frequency of sciatica features on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients presenting with lower back pain.
Methods: An observational descriptive study was conducted at Farooq Hospital, Lahore, over four months from June to September 2023. A non-probability convenience sampling technique was used to enroll 57 patients of both genders presenting with sciatica symptoms, including back pain radiating to one or both legs and numbness. Exclusion criteria included claustrophobia or a history of non-spinal sciatica causes. MRI scans were performed using a Siemens Magnetom C machine with a 0.35 Tesla strength, utilizing T1-weighted, T2-weighted, STIR sequences, and additional planes to detect spinal pathologies.
Results: Among the 57 patients, 32 (56.1%) were male, and 25 (43.9%) were female, with a mean age of 48.58 years (range: 29–70 years). The most common risk factors were physical inactivity (50.8%), overweight status (42.1%), and diabetes mellitus (29.8%). MRI findings revealed disc herniation in 19 patients (33.3%) and osteoarthritis in 14 (24.6%). Cord compression and degenerative changes were present in 14 (24.6%) and 12 (21%) patients, respectively. The most frequently affected spinal level was L5-S1 (19.3%), followed by L4-L5 (14%) and S1-S2 (12.3%).
Conclusion: This study confirms MRI as an effective diagnostic tool for identifying sciatica-related abnormalities, with disc herniation and osteoarthritis as the leading causes. Lifestyle factors such as physical inactivity and overweight status were the most significant risk factors. The L5-S1 spinal level was the most commonly affected segment, highlighting the importance of targeted diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for patients with lower back pain.
De Kant à Ulrich Beck : les nouveaux enjeux de la cosmopolitique
Authors:   Université Saint Thomas d’Aquin (Burkina Faso), SANON Guy Mukasa
Published: February 2025

De l’appréhension sociologique de la mondialisation, Ulrich Beck infère une nouvelle théorie cosmopolitique. Celle-ci se démarquerait des théories classiques cosmopolitiques représentées par Kant. Les deux théories s’opposent : l’une est sociologique et l’autre philosophique. De cette confrontation, émerge une question essentielle portant sur la pertinence du cosmopolitisme kantien à signifier aujourd’hui quelque chose dans le débat sur la cosmopolitique. En effet, n’achoppe-t-il pas sur la problématique des nouveaux acteurs transnationaux qui s’octroient une autorité normative indépendamment des systèmes de légitimation classiques ? Mais Beck ne réduit-il pas trop vite la théorie kantienne à son contenu substantiel, oubliant la tâche méta-anthropologique de construction normative qui signifie historicité chez Kant ?
Le débat entre les deux auteurs se prête à la discussion. La prise en compte du contexte historico-théorique de chacun relève l’intérêt de cette rencontre pendant que la méthode analytico-critique de Beck tente de prendre à défaut le pragmatisme contextuel de Kant.
Au total, Beck révèle un cosmopolitisme objectif, sans médiation kantienne, à institutionnaliser. Sous ce rapport, en prenant en compte le normativisme de Kant doublé de son personnalisme, l’institutionnalisme de Beck pourrait éviter le risque d’une rigidification oublieuse de la destinée humaine.
Le discours de rectorat de Martin Heidegger : un discours d’allégeance à la révolution nationale-socialiste ?
Authors:   Université Ouaga I Pr Joseph KI-ZERBO (Burkina Faso), BAMBARA Romuald Évariste
Published: February 2025

Premier Recteur nazi de l’Université de Fribourg-en-Brisgau, Heidegger, dans une allocution solennelle pour la prise en charge de sa fonction, fixe le sens de sa mission. Sous son égide, celui du spiritus rector, l’Université ou la communauté de combat a l’obligation d’éduquer les Führer ou les dirigeants du peuple allemand. Cette éducation vise le renouvellement spirituel de toute la vie en Allemagne, dans le sens de répondre au destin de l’Occident. La condition pour réaliser ce projet, c’est-à-dire “spiritualiser” l’Allemagne, réside dans l’enracinement de l’Université à la révolution nationale-socialiste, ce à travers l’État et ses institutions. En d’autres termes, réaliser cette vocation exige d’adhérer au parti, de prendre la carte du parti nazi. Mais, un tel engagement parviendra-t-il à sauvegarder la liberté de l’Université des velléités des institutions politiques de son temps ? Ainsi, cet écrit analyse d’abord le Discours de Rectorat en dégageant ses principales articulations avant d’entreprendre une critique, au sens où les mérites et les limites de cette argumentation sont relevés.
Solidarité et souci chez Martin Heidegger
Authors:   Université Alassane OUATTARA (Côte d’Ivoire), ROY-EMA Pascal Dieudonné
Published: February 2025

On apprend, avec Heidegger, notamment dans son traité de 1927, que le monde est un réseau de relation : il est le sens. C’est dans ce périmètre que se construisent nos repères et nos références, et si nous pouvons partager repères et références, il faut reconnaître que chaque être humain en est possesseur. C’est ce que Jean-Luc Nancy nommera la singularité. Nous sommes donc invités à faire briller notre singularité dans un souci de l'autre, de notre monde et donc dans une existence solidaire, pour rester authentique en toutes circonstances. Dans le souci, il y a l'idée d'attention, de préoccupation, de sollicitude et cela peut être saisi comme une forme de solidarité: le souci comme ouverture à l'autre et son monde. Dans le souci donc, le Dasein se montre solidaire d'autrui et de son monde.
Le génie de Heidegger dans l’exégèse de la volonté de puissance chez Nietzsche
Authors:   Université Marien Ngouabi (République du Congo), OVENANGA-KOUMOU Dimitri
Published: February 2025

Après avoir philosophé, Nietzsche a été profondément mésinterprété par sa postérité. Cela est peut-être dû au caractère abscons de sa pensée, caractère reconnu par la majorité de ses lecteurs. Cette mauvaise interprétation a atteint son paroxysme avec la question énigmatique de la volonté de puissance, à travers laquelle, on a fait de lui celui qui avait des ambitions autres que philosophiques. Heidegger est celui qui a pu mettre en lumière sa véritable stature de grand philosophe, non seulement pour l’avoir arraché des lectures plutôt littéraires, mais aussi d’avoir fait taire l’orientation politique qu’on a élevée sur sa pensée.
« Seul un Dieu peut encore nous sauver » décryptage et lecture analytique d’une expression énigmatique à l’ère du numérique et de coronavirus

« Seul un dieu peut encore nous sauver » sonne le glas de l’arraisonnement du monde. Il ouvre la voie à une perception renouvelée de l’être humain voire de sa capacité à « donner sens et existence au monde ». A l’ère de « l’insuffisance de la raison suffisante » (Jean-Luc Marion, Etant donné), le mot de Heidegger retrouve son sens. Il ne s’agissait pas pour le philosophe d’entériner le nihilisme nietzschéen encore moins de saper les bases de l’humanisme traditionnel. Mais le penseur du sens de l’être cherche à faire écouter « la Nouvelle tonalité affective de l’être humain » dont la technique contemporaine fait entendre l’écho. Pour l’avoir ainsi analysé afin de saisir le sens du numérique contemporain (ontophanique et techno-transcendantal), il nous a paru nécessaire d’y associer l’herméneutique philosophique de la situation pandémique actuelle du monde pour rechercher l’issue du divin encore possible dans notre monde.
Phénoménologie de la survie dans l’économie libérale sociale : le plein-emploi et la sécurité sociale en procès

La faillite de l’État-providence, les crises du capitalisme, le chômage, etc., posent le sérieux d’une réflexion sur la phénoménologie de la survie dans l’économie libérale aujourd’hui. Face aux crises qui gangrènent les économies du monde, celles de l’Afrique, en particulier, il devient urgent de penser, d’une part, la nécessité d’une réforme des systèmes éducatifs jusque-là incompatibles avec les besoins et les nécessités contemporaines du travail, de l’employabilité, de l’entrepreneuriat, et d’autre part, la nécessité de réforme de l’ordre financier et des réformes agraires sur lesquelles devraient être bâties l’administration et l’éducation-formation. Dès lors, cette étude, adossée à la sociocritique et à la phénoménologie, vise à indiquer que les solutions aux crises de l’emploi, du chômage et de l’employabilité résident dans une réorientation de l’éducation. Mieux, la crise du travail et de l’emploi trouverait sa solution dans une véritable économie libérale sociale, enracinée dans une véritable philosophie de l’éducation pour l’avenir.
Oubli de L’être comme désordre ontologique : esquisse phénoménologique de la dévastation du monde chez Martin Heidegger
Authors:   Université Alassane OUATTARA (Côte d’Ivoire), SANKO Zlankouapieu Romuald Icanor
Published: February 2025

La Seinsvergessenheit, traduite communément, tant bien que mal, par l’oubli de L’ETRE, est un fait en terre heideggérienne qui permet de diagnostiquer le présent du monde comme la manifestation tangible de la pauvreté et de la misère spirituelle de l’être humain. L’homme est devenu pauvre, car encombré par les étant, il ne trouve plus séjour en lui. Il est quotidiennement plongé dans une sorte de désordre qui le fait prendre l’Être pour l’étant et l’étant pour l’Être ; d’où l’idée de désordre ontologique. Dans pareille circonstance, l’habitation, dans son rapport mutuel à son concept, devient, plus que jamais, l’authentique chemin de recueillement pour une re-assomption du monde à son lieu destinal.
L’habiter en question
Authors:   Université Alassane OUATTARA (Côte d’Ivoire), IRIÉ Géraud Martial
Published: February 2025

Notre analyse part de la méditation heideggérienne relative à la crise du logement et de l’habitation qui secoue nos sociétés. Il en ressort que la véritable crise "Not" réside dans l’indigence de la pensée, signe caractéristique de l’exploitation totale de la nature par les technosciences. Pour juguler cette crise, l’homme doit méditer sur l’être de l’habiter en vue d’une habitation authentique.
Ontologie et foi dans la pensée heideggérienne
Authors:   Université Alassane OUATTARA, (Côte d’Ivoire), SENZÉ Kouamé Raymond
Published: February 2025

La réhabilitation de la métaphysique, à travers la pensée de l’Être par Martin Heidegger, conduit sa réflexion sur la Foi, domaine mystique et mystérieux de la vie humaine. Elle repense l’humanité de l’homme et donne, dans la proximité de l’Être, une nouvelle dimension à sa croyance. Indiquant le lieu d’habitation de la pensée, Heidegger montre que le destin de l’homme déterminant qui séjourne dans le Quadriparti, s’accomplit sur la terre, en tant que mortel, dans l’attente de l’accueil du ciel et tisse des relations avec les divins dans l’ ek-sistence, un horizon nouveau pour asseoir son humanisme.
Et l’art créa Dieu : Hölderlin et Heidegger au sujet de la divinité de Dieu
Authors:   Université de Poitiers/Institut catholique de Paris, GAINSI Grégoire-Sylvestre
Published: February 2025

Pour Hölderlin, Dieu est à venir. C’est pourquoi seul le retrait exprime l’apparaître du divin. Telle est aussi la vision que partage M. Heidegger dont l’ontologie avoisine trait pour trait cet Être se manifestant mais toujours en retrait. L’enjeu de ce retrait, comme révélation de la divinité de Dieu, est ce que nous voulons percevoir dans ce travail qui confronte la vision des deux figures du romantisme transcendantal allemand que sont Hölderlin et Heidegger. Le retrait-manifesté du divin se délègue à travers diverses formes et figures, c’est-à-dire au travers du divin que le poète peut représenter par son pouvoir artistique dans sa relation avec la nature.
La notion d’expérience dans la philosophie de Kant
Authors:   Université Ouaga I Pr Joseph Ki-Zerbo   (Burkina Faso), ZONGO Georges
Published: February 2025

La philosophe kantienne est généralement présentée comme un rationalisme achevé, dimension qui ne semble pas susceptible d’être remise en cause. Pourtant, cette philosophie accorde une grande part à l’expérience sensible au point de tout faire dépendre d’elle. Il montre justement que l’expérience est la condition de possibilité de la connaissance rationnelle parce qu’elle en constitue le fondement. Dès lors se pose la question de la possibilité d’une connaissance non empirique telle que la métaphysique, que Kant combat comme prétentieuse et dogmatique. Réflexivement, nous pouvons dire que la philosophie kantienne, irréductible à l’empirisme ou au rationalisme, réconcilie dialectiquement ces deux dimensions.
