Authors: Shilpi Mallick , Tasnim Akter , Umme Habiba Tanny , Md. Biplob Hossain
Published: September 2024

Clinicians have long recognized mental health issues in patients with heart conditions, such as those who have heart attacks, heart failure, and systemic hypertension, especially in those who are admitted to the coronary care unit. This study was designed to assess the level of anxiety among cardiac patients. This descriptive type of cross-sectional study was conducted among 238 cardiac patients attending at National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD), Dhaka, Bangladesh from December 2022 to January 2023. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data. HADS scale was used to measure anxiety level. The mean age of the participants was 48.34 (±7.928) years. HADS measurement found that 37% of participants had diagnostic anxiety, 28% had moderate anxiety and 35% cardiac patients had no clinical symptoms of anxiety. Chi-square test analysis also revealed that eating fast-food, less physical activity, high blood pressure, blood cholesterol level, overweight and history of heart diseases were significantly associated with anxiety among cardiac patients (P<0.05). Mental health services should integrate with cardiac rehabilitation programs and health care workers should take extra care for cardiac patients to identify mental health disabilities among the cardiac patients.

PORÓWNANIE UZNAWALNOŚCI POLSKICH DYPLOMÓW MEDYCZNYCH (LEK/LEK DENT) I SPECJALIZACJI W USA ORAZ RÓWNOWAŻNYCH UPRAWNIEŃ AMERYKAŃSKICH W RP
Authors: Nierzwicki Bartłomiej
Published: September 2024

Obecny system uznawania zagranicznych stopni medycznych w Stanach Zjednoczonych obejmuje kompleksowy proces oceny prowadzony przez Komisję Edukacyjną ds. Zagranicznych Absolwentów Medycyny (ECFMG). Proces oceny rozpoczyna się od ustalenia legalności dyplomu i upewnienia się, że instytucja wydająca jest uznawana przez Światowy Katalog Szkół Medycznych. Następnie zagraniczni absolwenci medycyny muszą zdać egzamin licencyjny Stanów Zjednoczonych (USMLE), rygorystyczną, składającą się z trzech etapów serię egzaminów oceniających ich wiedzę medyczną i umiejętności kliniczne. Po po- myślnym ukończeniu procesu oceny prowadzonego przez ECFMG zagraniczni absolwenci medycyny muszą spełnić wymagania określone przez poszczególne stanowe izby lekarskie, aby uzyskać stanową licencję lekarską (czyli PWZ). Zupełnie inaczej wygląda proces uznawalności amerykańskich uprawnień medycznych w RP. Nostryfikację dyplomu lekarza uzyskanego w USA przeprowadza się na dowolnej uprawnionej uczelni medycznej w RP zwanej„uczelnią nostryfikującą”. Natomiast nostryfikację stażu podyplomowego lekarza oraz wszelkie tytuły specjalisty przeprowadza w RP Biuro Uznawania Kwalifikacji należące do Centrum Medycznego Kształcenia Podyplomowego (cmkp.edu.pl), zgodnie z art. 16n ust. 1 Ustawy z dnia 5 grudnia 1996 r. o zawodach lekarza i lekarza dentysty (Dz.

ZASTOSOWANIE SZTUCZNEJ INTELIGENCJI W ECHOGRAFII SERCOWEJ: KORZYŚCI I RYZYKO
Authors: Klimczak Krzysztof
Published: September 2024

Ultrasonografia sercowa , zwana echokardiografią, zajmuje dzisiaj czołowe miejsce w diagnostyce kardiologicznej. Ciągle rozwijają się nowe techniki, w tym
„rewolucyjna”technika oparta na sztucznej inteligencji (Artificial Intelligence – AI). Stopniowo AI znajduje również zastosowanie w kardiologii, między innymi w badaniu echograficznym struktur i funkcji serca. Korzyści płynące z fuzji: Echo-AI sukcesywnie konkretyzują się, umożliwiając w szczególności:
- bardziej precyzyjną i szybszą diagnostykę kardiologiczną decydującą o skuteczności leczenia,
- sprawną automatyzację techniki echograficznej pomocną przy rutynowym badaniu pacjenta,- znaczącą poprawę jakości i efektywności obrazowania echograficznego,
- pomoc w analizach dostarczonych danych medycznych i w interpretacji wyników badania echograficznego,
- dokładniejsze prognozowanie przebiegu choroby sercowej i dostosowanie strategii terapeutycznej.
Mimo licznych zalet i korzyści technologii AI, zastosowanie sztucznej inteligencji w medycynie, włącznie z echografią sercowa wzbudza wiele kontrowersji i wiąże się z potencjalnymi zagrożeniami i ryzykiem związanymi z tą techniką, takimi jak:
- błędne rozpoznanie schorzenia sercowego (niepełna, wadliwa lub niewyważona analiza danych medycznych),
- niewłaściwy wpływ na„złożone” procesy decyzyjne w diagnostyce echograficznej, trudne do odtworzenia przez AI,
- ograniczenie zdolności obliczeniowych przez systemy AI związane z niepełną bazą danych lub niewłaściwym przetwarzaniem opisów obrazów medycznych,
- selektywne„zapominaniem” pewnych informacji przez modele AI mogące ograniczyć obiektywną diagnostykę schorzenia
- wysoki koszt tworzenia, aktualizacji, nadzoru i korygowania modeli AI w świetle nowych odkryć i standardów w medycynie.
Ostatecznie, choć kardiologia wolniej niż wiele innych dziedzin medycyny przyswaja sobie technologie opartą na sztucznej inteligencji, z czasem będzie z pewnością z tej technologii coraz więcej korzystać.
UNDERSTANDING AND ADDRESSING BURNOUT AND COMPASSION FATIGUE IN HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS
Authors: Litak Katarzyna
Published: September 2024

Burnout and compassion fatigue are critical issues affecting healthcare professionals, leading to decreased job satisfaction, reduced quality of care, and signif- icant personal consequences. This presentation delves into the complex dynamics of burnout and compassion fatigue, exploring their causes, symptoms, and impact on healthcare providers across various settings. Burnout, characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a diminished sense of personal accomplishment, is a response to prolonged stress and high demands in the workplace. Compassion fatigue, often described as the cost of caring, occurs when healthcare providers experience secondary traumatic stress due to the emotional burden of caring for patients in distress. Together, these conditions can lead to a decline in mental and physical health, increased absenteeism, and higher turnover rates among healthcare professionals. The presentation will provide an overview of the factors contributing to burnout and compassion fatigue, including excessive workloads, lack of support, emotional strain, and the ethical dilemmas often faced in clinical practice. It will also highlight the signs and symptoms of these conditions, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and intervention. Strategies for prevention and management will be a central focus, with a discussion on evidence-based approaches such as mindfulness, resilience training, peer support programs, and organizational changes aimed at creating a more supportive work environment. The role of self-care, work-life balance, and institutional responsibility in mitigating burnout and compassion fatigue will also be examined. By understanding the underlying causes and implementing effective strategies, healthcare organizations can foster a culture of well-being and resilience, ensuring that providers maintain their passion for patient care while safeguarding their own health and well-being. This presentation aims to equip healthcare professionals and administrators with the knowledge and tools needed to address burnout and compassion fatigue, ultimately leading to improved outcomes for both providers and patients.
Polyvictimization and suicidal ideations/behaviors among college students: Examining protective factors of resilience and social support
Authors: Lee Jeoung Min
Published: September 2024

By applying the Schematic Appraisals Model of Suicide, this study examined whether resilience mediates and perceived social support moderates the relationship between polyvictimization and suicidal thoughts/behaviors among college students. The study included 790 college students (71% female), whose ages ranged from 18 to 31 years. Their racial demographics included White (472; 55%), African American (128; 17%), Hispanic (94; 12%), and others (125; 16%). Models 4 and 5 from PROCESS Macro 4.2 in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 29.0 were used to test the mediation and moderation effects. The results indicated a positive association between polyvictimization and suicidal thoughts/behaviors. Resilience exhibited an indirect association between polyvictimization and suicidal thoughts/behaviors. Specifically, if polyvictimized college students have higher levels of resilience, they are less likely to experience suicidal thoughts/behaviors. Perceived social support as a moderator explained the association between polyvictimization and suicidal thoughts/behaviors. This result suggests that when individuals who experience polyvictimization receive social support, they are less likely to have suicidal thoughts/behaviors. For polyvictimized college students, both resilience and perceived social support can serve as protective factors against suicidal thoughts/behaviors. This study offers insights for implementing campus-wide intervention programs to enhance college students’ resilience and interaction skills, thus contributing to preventing suicidal thoughts/behaviors among polyvictimized individuals.
A narrative review on gender disparities in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of Takotsubo syndrome: Implications for novel approaches to treatment?
Authors: Förster Carola Y. , Herrmann Martin J.
Published: September 2024

Takotsubo syndrome is a type of cardiomyopathy characterized by transient and reversible left ventricular wall motion abnormalities within the ventricle. Depending on the severity of the injury, recovery can occur within a few hours or weeks. According to studies, older people are more likely to be affected by it, and the prevalence is particularly high among postmenopausal women. Stress factors, both physical and emotional, are widely discussed and generally recognized as triggers. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and its glucocorticoid-dependent negative feedback also play important roles in the resulting gender-specific immune response. Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation is proposed as a potential novel personalized therapeutic strategy in light of the gender disparities in autonomous nervous system activity and inflammatory response. Considering the modifiable risks involved in this pathology, such as stress which affects the heart and psychology, a strong emphasis should be placed on preventive medicine. In this paper, we propose the use of non-invasive (transcutaneous) vagus nerve stimulation, as a means of dampening sympathetic overdrive with negligible side effects.
Navigating Subjunctive Challenges and Pedagogical Strategies for Advanced French L2 Learners
Authors: - Jimoh Junior Braimoh
Published: September 2024

This study investigates the challenges faced by advanced L2 learners of French in mastering the subjunctive mood, with a particular focus on their ability to recognize contexts where the subjunctive is not required. The primary objectives were to identify common error patterns, analyze the impact of verb conjugation on learner performance, and assess the effectiveness of current instructional practices. A sentence completion task was administered to 200 advanced L2 French learners, and the data were analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative methods to uncover the frequency and nature of errors in subjunctive usage. The results revealed that learners frequently default to using the subjunctive mood in contexts where it is not required, particularly when dealing with impersonal expressions and irregular verb forms. The error rate was significantly higher in second and third conjugation verbs compared to first conjugation verbs, highlighting the impact of morphological complexity. The findings suggest that current teaching methods, which often emphasize rule-based instruction, may not adequately prepare learners to apply the subjunctive in context-sensitive ways. The study concludes that a shift towards more contextualized and communicative teaching approaches is needed to help learners develop a deeper understanding of the subjunctive mood. These findings have important implications for curriculum design and teacher training in the field of second language acquisition.
Streamlining Organization Tasks: A Grounded Theory on the Perspective and Coping Mechanism of School Administrators in Response to DepEd Order 002, s. 2024
Authors: - Fernandez, Bernadeth Lacandula , - Barazon, Leviticus M.
Published: September 2024

In order to cope with organizational changes that simplify administrative work, educators and administrators must be resilient (Towler, 2021). Recently, public school teachers in the Philippines were relieved of administrative responsibilities, as ordered by the Department of Education (DepEd Order 002, s. 2024), and the responsibility is transferred to school administrators and non-teaching staff. According to the Department of Education (DepEd), administrative responsibilities include all tasks necessary to run schools efficiently while utilizing the fewest resources possible. These obligations include activities, services, and programs that are geared toward problem-solving; they have nothing to do with academics or the educational system. Through in-depth interviews and focus groups with school heads in the public institutions, the research utilized grounded theory to comprehensively explore the impact of shifting administrative responsibilities from classroom teachers to school heads and non-teaching personnel as well as their coping mechanism within educational institutions. This allowed the researcher to develop theories based on the data collected (Cooke, 2014). This study's generation of themes and theories led to the creation of a framework for efficient coping strategies with organizational activities that require flexibility and ongoing modifications. In order to strengthen an adaptive organization, the data collected from the respondents also contributed significantly to the conceptualization of the Modernized Educational Resiliency theory.

The role of narrative in misinformation games
Authors: Devasia Nisha , Lee Jin Ha
Published: September 2024

Several existing media literacy games aim to increase resilience to misinformation. However, they lack variety in their approaches. The vast majority focus on assessing information accuracy, with limited exploration of socio-emotional influences of misinformation adoption. Misinformation correction and educational games have explored how narrative persuasion influences personal beliefs, as identification with certain narratives can frame the interpretation of information. We created a preliminary framework for designers seeking to develop narrative-driven misinformation games that synthesizes findings from psychology, narrative theory, and game design. In addition, we conducted a narrative-centered content analysis of existing media literacy games.

Çalışma, öğrencilerdeki kaygı ile okul yaşamı ve öğretmen davranışları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olup olmadığını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmamızda nitel araştırma yaklaşımını kullandık. Çalışmamızda Kocaeli’deki okullarda görev yapan farklı branş ve farklı kıdemlere sahip 5 öğretmen ile farklı eğitim seviyelerine sahip 13 öğrenci olmak üzere toplam 18 kişi ile görüşülmüştür. Katılımcılara çalışmamız hakkında bilgi verildi ve izinleri alındıktan sonra görüşmeler ses kaydına alındı. Katılımcıların cevaplarında daha rahat ve samimi olmalarını sağlamak için takma isimler kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları incelendiğinde, öğrencilerin çoğunun kendilerini sürekli kaygılı hissettikleri, bu kaygının nedeni olarak sınavlar, öğretmenler ya da aile baskısı gibi okulla ilgili şeyleri gösterdikleri ve kaygı tanımlarının öğretmenlerle benzer olduğu görülmüştür. Öğretmenlerin öğrencilerin kaygı düzeylerini azaltmaya çalıştıkları, öğrencilerin ise öğretmenlerin etkisinin olumsuz olduğunu düşündükleri sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Öğretmenlerin çoğu günümüze yaklaştıkça öğrencilerdeki kaygının arttığını söylerken, bunun tam tersini söyleyen öğretmenlerin de olduğu dikkat çekmiştir.
The axiological model of the «Catholic Action» journal: an attempt to construct and directions of interpretation
Authors: Blikharskyi Roman
Published: September 2024

The article outlines the concept, purpose, and thematic focus of the publications of the «Catholic Action» journal, which was the official publication of the General Institute of Catholic Action in the Galician Church Province (Metropolia) of the Greek Catholic Church. Through this journal, the organizers and activists of Catholic Action, who were also the publishers and authors of the eponymous journal, conveyed the general doctrinal vision of the Vatican's general doctrinal vision regarding the concept and ideology of the Action. They also outlined the characteristic guidelines for its implementation among the Ukrainian Galician community.
The study places emphasis on the value orientations of the publications of this journal, as it is considered that, from a press studies perspective, such a research direction is an essential step towards a better understanding of the conditions and mechanisms of identity formation among Ukrainians in interwar Galicia.
It has been determined that in order to optimize the study, it is necessary to construct an axiological model of the publication – a theoretical framework that outlines the primary values, priorities, moral ideals, and goals propagated by the publication. This model could potentially broaden the understanding of the role of mass media in shaping civic, cultural, and confessional identities within a specific historical context.
Based on the analysis of the journal's publications, axiological models are proposed, demonstrating two approaches to the hierarchization, systematization, and interpretation of the complex of values propagated in the journal's publications. Specifically: a model that structures a wide range of individual needs and aspirations along with the general ethical principles of collective coexistence, social responsibility, civic consciousness, and so forth; and a framework that reflects the distinctive ideological and thematic paradigm of the «Catholic Action» journal's publications – the theme of the conflict of values between modern apologists of Christianity and the ideologues of progress and secularization.
Keywords: Catholic Action, religious periodicals, interwar period, Galicia, General Institute of Catholic Action.
THE 100th ANNIVERSARY OF SHEVCHENKO IN GALICIA AND DNIEPER UKRAINE: PRESS DISCOURSE
Authors: Komarytsia Mariana
Published: September 2024

The article traces the press resonance surrounding the celebration of Taras Shevchenko’s 100th anniversary in Galicia and Dnieper Ukraine. The bans of the Russian government on public events, in particular memorial services, formed a powerful wave of national protest, especially among student youth. A panorama of literary-critical, artistic, and discussion papers published on the pages of the magazines «Dilo», «Illustrovana Ukraina», «Literaturno-Naukovyi Vistnyk», «Mayak», «Rada», «Ukrainska Khata», «Chronika Naukovoho Tovatystva imeny Shevchenka u Lvovi», «Shliakhy» and others covers the problems of poetic creativity and its reception, the analysis of individual themes and images, the specifics of the formation of the national-centric and socio-centric canons of the Shevchenko’s cult. The comparative analysis of the publications makes it possible to determine the priority of certain topics in the publications of Galicia and Dnieper Ukraine, both determined by the historical situation and worldview factors. In the articles published in Galician magazines dominate theses about Shevchenko’s role in the formation of national consciousness, the idea of the unity of Ukraine, the «resurrection» of the forgotten history of Ukraine to restore the lost links in the memory of contemporaries and descendants as a guarantee of future statehood domination. Publications in the Dnieper Ukraine press were mostly related to the topic of the ban on celebrations, which made it impossible to celebrate Shevchenko’s anniversary. They are also about reflections on the thematic dominants of his work, discussions about the project of a monument to the poet, biographical moments and the specific style of Shevchenko as an artist. The unifying factor of this jubilee content is a deep understanding of the unique prophetic gift of the poet, who was able to convey the testaments of his ancestors to the «unborn».
Keywords: Taras Shevchenko, 100th anniversary, Galician and Dnieper Ukraine periodicals, comparative analysis of press.
ISSUES OF INFORMATION WARFARE ON THE PAGES OF UKRAINSKYI TYZHDEN MAGAZINE (2022–2024)
Authors: Vdovychyn Ihor
Published: September 2024

The phenomenon of «information warfare» is analysed, which is becoming one of the decisive tools of influence in the modern world, full of large-scale wars that threaten to escalate into the Third World War. This factor determines the relevance of the topic of the article. The history of the scientific study of the issue of information warfare in modern studies, in particular by V. Horbulin, V. Petryk, M. Trebin, А. Fisun and others, is presented. The purpose of the study is to reveal the tools of information warfare and means of counteraction, especially using the example of Ukrainskyi tyzhden magazine. To achieve the goal, the following tasks are determined: to demonstrate approaches to the components of information warfare – various PSYOP (psychological operations) and the potential dangers that arise in the absence of resistance to manipulation of consciousness and information violence. Systemic, hermeneutic and historical methods are used as a methodological basis. The problems for Ukraine in connection with Russia’s wide use of «information warfare» technologies against our country and the tools of resistance – the active intellectual activity of Ukrainskyi tyzhden magazine in 2022–2024 – are shown. The importance of the periodical’s work is due not only to directly addressing these issues, but above all to understanding the broader historical and political context in which events take place. This is achieved by publishing a variety of journalistic, research, and analytical materials, including those by foreign authors. The magazine forms a worldview in its readers that allows them to critically perceive external information influences. The position of the periodical is not only a response to acute problems in the confrontation with Russia but it also plays an important role in creating an intellectual environment of freedom in Ukraine.
Keywords: information war, mass media, press, Russia, Ukraine, manipulation, Ukrainskyi tyzhden.
The Sombor Indices of Banana Tree Graph and Fractal Tree Type Dendrimer
Authors: Rajeswari K Thanga , A Manimaran
Published: September 2024

Topological descriptors are graph-theoretical metrics that allow one to describe a molecular structure’s underlying connectedness. Degree-based topological descriptors have been investigated widely and are associated with several chemical characteristics. The examination of graph entropy indices as a gauge for the intricacy of the underlying connection and as a means of characterizing structural attributes has also gained significance.The present study utilizes the graph-theory-based edge partition method to examine Sombor variants for the Banana Tree Graph, Fractal, and Cayley Tree Type Dendrimers. We have employed Shannon’s entropy model to determine the graph-based entropy of these graphs and produced Sombor indices.

Authors: Zhang Lulu , Wu Zhuo
Published: September 2024

This action research study investigated the effectiveness of an academic English writing course reform for postgraduate students in science and technology disciplines at a Chinese university. The reform integrated interdisciplinary teaching approaches, genre-based pedagogy, collaborative learning, and AI-assisted writing tools to enhance students' academic writing skills, engagement, and satisfaction. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including pre- and post-tests, student surveys, interviews, and writing samples. The results showed significant improvements in students' overall writing performance, particularly in the dimensions of organization and language use. Comparative analyses across disciplines revealed the universality of the interdisciplinary teaching approach in promoting students' mastery of academic writing conventions and professional terminology. The integration of AI-assisted writing tools, while offering potential benefits, also highlighted challenges that require careful consideration and management. The study provides valuable pedagogical implications, emphasizing the adoption of an interdisciplinary, genre-based teaching approach, systematic teacher training in innovative pedagogies, judicious incorporation of AI-assisted writing tools, and ongoing, multidimensional writing assessment and feedback. Future research directions are proposed, including longitudinal studies, comparative analyses of AI-assisted writing tools, ethnographic explorations of writer and instructor identities, design-based research on innovative writing curricula, and cross-cultural investigations of the transferability of teaching reform measures. This study contributes to the advancement of academic writing instruction in postgraduate education and offers insights into the effective integration of technology and pedagogy in English for Academic Purposes.
Visual search and real-image similarity: An empirical assessment through the lens of deep learning
Authors: Petilli Marco A. , Rodio Francesca M. , Günther Fritz , Marelli Marco
Published: September 2024

The ability to predict how efficiently a person finds an object in the environment is a crucial goal of attention research. Central to this issue are the similarity principles initially proposed by Duncan and Humphreys, which outline how the similarity between target and distractor objects (TD) and between distractor objects themselves (DD) affect search efficiency. However, the search principles lack direct quantitative support from an ecological perspective, being a summary approximation of a wide range of lab-based results poorly generalisable to real-world scenarios. This study exploits deep convolutional neural networks to predict human search efficiency from computational estimates of similarity between objects populating, potentially, any visual scene. Our results provide ecological evidence supporting the similarity principles: search performance continuously varies across tasks and conditions and improves with decreasing TD similarity and increasing DD similarity. Furthermore, our results reveal a crucial dissociation: TD and DD similarities mainly operate at two distinct layers of the network: DD similarity at the intermediate layers of coarse object features and TD similarity at the final layers of complex features used for classification. This suggests that these different similarities exert their major effects at two distinct perceptual levels and demonstrates our methodology’s potential to offer insights into the depth of visual processing on which the search relies. By combining computational techniques with visual search principles, this approach aligns with modern trends in other research areas and fulfils longstanding demands for more ecologically valid research in the field of visual search.

The study adopted simple random sampling technique and SPSS software version 22 was used for data analysis and the results were presented in tables. Commercial properties under the management of Estate Surveyors and Valuation in Abuja metropolis was served as target population. The study indicates that the macroeconomic indicators considered in the study, namely gross domestic product (GDP), inflation rate, interest rate and exchange rate are all increasing, but at different rates. This suggests that the economy is growing, but that there are also some inflationary pressures and that the central bank is tightening monetary policy in an attempt to bring inflation under control. The rising exchange rate suggests that the domestic currency is becoming more valuable relative to other currencies, which can make exports more expensive and imports cheaper. However, the fact that the indicators are rising at different rates suggests that the growth is not uniform and that there are some challenges that need to be addressed. For example, the rising inflation rate suggests that there is some pressure on prices. This could be due to a number of factors, such as increased demand for goods and services, supply chain disruptions, or rising energy costs. The central bank may need to take steps to address inflation, such as raising interest rates. Macroeconomic indicators significantly influence rental value of commercial properties causing about 73.7% change in rental value of commercial properties. Central banks should monitor inflation closely and take steps to bring it under control if necessary. This could involve raising interest rates or other monetary policy tools. Policymakers should work to address the underlying causes of inflation and unemployment. This could involve measures such as increasing competition in the economy, improving education and training programs, or investing in research and development.

O papel dos conhecimentos indígenas, campesinos e locais (IPLK, do inglês Indigenous, Peasant and Local Knowledge) na construção de entendimentos e práticas que visam uma maior sustentabilidade nas relações humano-natureza tem sido amplamente reconhecido em estudos e projetos nos campos da biologia e ecologia. Isso tem acarretado o estabelecimento de processos transdisciplinares que reconheçam e mobilizem a expertise de comunidades indígenas, campesinas e locais. Tais comunidades acumulam, ao longo das gerações, um conjunto amplo de conhecimentos acerca do funcionamento dos ecossistemas e sobre plantas e animais que compõem as comunidades bióticas com as quais interagem, entre outros aspectos, sistematizando esses conhecimentos em seus sistemas de crenças, em seus mitos e em suas cosmovisões. Dessa maneira, é importante a realização de revisões de artigos etnobiológicos e etnoecólogicos que abordem contribuições de IPLK para a conservação ambiental e planos de manejo. No presente trabalho, conduzimos uma revisão dessa natureza, analisando estudos etnobiológicos e etnoecológicos realizados ao longo dos últimos vinte anos, que relatam as contribuições potenciais de IPLK para ações de manejo e conservação da biodiversidade. Nós realizamos uma revisão sistemática baseada na seguinte pergunta norteadora: “quais são as contribuições dos conhecimentos biológicos e ecológicos de comunidades indígenas, campesinas e locais para a conservação da biodiversidade e manejo ambiental que podemos identificar em estudos etnobiológicos e etnoecológicos?”. Diferentes contribuições foram identificadas no presente estudo, percebendo-se tanto potenciais quanto limitações na abordagem das contribuições de IPLK para conservação da biodiversidade e manejo ambiental.

Introdução: O tumor sólido pseudopapilar do pâncreas é uma patologia rara responsável por menos de 3% de todos os tumores exócrinos pancreáticos. Tal tumor ocorre principalmente em mulheres jovens, entre 20 e 30 anos, e geralmente possui baixo potencial de malignidade e causa sintomas apenas quando são de grandes volumes. Relato do caso: Paciente feminina, 14 anos, iniciou quadro de hematêmese, sendo identificadas varizes de fundo gástrico. Após realizar tomografia computadorizada, evidenciou-se massa hipodensa de comportamento hipovascular na cauda pancreática, levantando-se a suspeita de neoplasia pancreática primária, promovendo compressão da veia esplênica. A paciente foi submetida à pancreatectomia corpo-caudal associada à esplenectomia em fevereiro de 2021. A biópsia do nódulo hepático, evidenciado em ultrassonografia abdominal, confirmou metástase, e a paciente foi submetida à posterior segmentectomia hepática em julho de 2021. Conclusão: O caso relatado é extremamente raro por tratar-se de um tumor de Frantz na infância associado à hipertensão portal esquerda por compressão tumoral da veia esplênica e que, por consequência, apresentou hemorragia digestiva alta como manifestação clínica inicial, não sendo encontrados facilmente na literatura casos similares na faixa pediátrica.

Introdução: O câncer é a principal causa de morte de origem não-metabólica no mundo. Os cânceres sanguíneos têm origem no sistema hematopoiético e são classificados em linfomas, leucemias, neoplasias de plasmócitos e síndromes mielodisplásicas. Objetivo: descrever a tendência de mortalidade das principais neoplasias hematológicas no Estado de Sergipe entre 1980 e 2021 e sua distribuição espacial. Metodologia: foram estudadas, por meio de softwares de análise longitudinal e geoespacial, as taxas de mortalidade do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade para o Estado e analisadas por grupo etário, sexo, tipo de neoplasia e município. Foram construídos gráficos de tendência temporal e analisadas suas variações percentuais anuais e médias, e confeccionados mapas de geodistribuição das taxas, com áreas de contiguidade, e análise de significância estatística pelos métodos Moran e LISA. Resultados: as taxas de mortalidade apresentaram-se constantemente crescentes no período em todas as neoplasias e grupos em que houve significância estatística. No sexo masculino, que apresentou o maior número de óbitos, houve crescimento de 3% ao ano (IC-95% 2,5-3,5). As leucemias corresponderam a 48,78% do total de óbitos. A ordem decrescente de mortalidade foi leucemias, linfoma não-Hodgkin e mieloma múltiplo. O grupo etário de 65+ apresentou 35,76% do total de óbitos. As áreas de risco foram as mesorregiões Leste e Agreste e a região Grande Aracaju. Conclusão: A tendência de mortalidade por cânceres hematológicos em Sergipe é um tema pouco analisado. As taxas de mortalidade têm crescido no estado, destacando-se leucemias, sexo masculino, idosos, e municípios de maior desigualdade e produção agrária.
