Published: March 2024

A tanulmányban a szerzők hét, 3 és 6 év közötti, egészséges Holstein tehén korai laktációs időszakának első hetében leptin-, ghrelin-, irizin- és inzulinhormonszinteket vizsgálták tejsavóban és vérplazmában, valamint az energiametabolizmusban, szénhidrát- és zsíranyagcserében részt vevő nem-észterifikált zsírsav (NEFA), béta-hidroxibutirát (BHBA), triglicerid- és glükózszinteket vérplazmában. A vér- és tejmintákat közvetlenül ellés után (0. óra), valamint az azt követő 3. és 7. napon vették. A megállapítások szerint a plazma ghrelin-, leptin-, inzulin- és a tej irizinszintjei mind különböztek statisztikailag (p < 0,05) a 0. óra és a 3. nap, valamint a 3. nap és a 7. nap mérései között. A 0. óra és a 3. nap, a 0. óra és a 7. nap, valamint a 3. nap és a 7. nap mérései között a plazmairizin-, mind a tejleptinértékek különböztek statisztikailag (p < 0,05). Emellett, amikor a tej ghrelin-, irizin-, inzulin- és a vérplazma NEFA- és glükózértékeit vizsgálták, statisztikailag szignifikáns különbséget találtak a 0. óra és a 3. nap, a 0. óra és a 7. nap adatai között (p < 0,05) minden paraméter esetében. Következésképp a tanulmányban megállapítást nyert, hogy a korai laktációs időszak első hetében eltérések mutatkoznak a metabolikus hormonok vérplazma- és tejszérumszintjeiben. Kimutatták, hogy a nemrégiben felfedezett irizin hormon szintje emelkedik a korai laktációs időszak első hetében ellés után.

Authors: Jeon Haeng Jun , Lee Woo Sik , Park Ji Eun , Hwang Ji Young , Kim Ji Won
Published: March 2024

Objective: People vaccinated with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 [SARS-CoV-2]) mRNA vaccine have reported experiencing various adverse effects. For instance, reproductive-age women have presented with complaints of abnormal uterine bleeding or menstrual cycle changes. We speculated that differences in basal sex hormone levels before and after vaccination may be present in women who experienced irregular bleeding or menstrual cycle changes; thus, this study aimed to investigate the differences in basal sex hormone levels of women before and after two doses of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination. Methods: This retrospective study included patients who received SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines between January 2021 and February 2022 at a single center. In an outpatient setting, patients were queried regarding their menstrual cycle, the date of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination, vaccination type, and vaccination side effects. Differences in basal hormone levels (menstrual cycle days 2–3, follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH], luteinizing hormone [LH], and estradiol) before and after vaccination were compared.Results: Among the 326 patients, patients with no laboratory records of the hormones were excluded. The median time interval between SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination and the laboratory test day was 79 days (interquartile range, 44 to 127). A comparative analysis of these hormones before and after vaccination revealed no significant differences. Subgroup analyses based on age and reported adverse events also found no statistically significant differences. Conclusion: This study showed no significant differences in basal hormone levels (FSH, LH, and estradiol) before and after SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination.
In vivo and in vitro sperm production: an overview of the challenges and advances in male fertility restoration
Authors: Bashiri Zahra , Hosseini Seyed Jamal , Salem Maryam , Koruji Morteza
Published: March 2024

Male infertility can be caused by genetic anomalies, endocrine disorders, inflammation, and exposure to toxic chemicals or gonadotoxic treatments. Therefore, several recent studies have concentrated on the preservation and restoration of fertility to enhance the quality of life for affected individuals. It is currently recommended to biobank the tissue extracted from testicular biopsies to provide a later source of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). Another successful approach has been the in vitro production of haploid male germ cells. The capacity of SSCs to transform into sperm, as in testicular tissue transplantation, SSC therapy, and in vitro or ex vivo spermatogenesis, makes them ideal candidates for in vivo fertility restoration. The transplantation of SSCs or testicular tissue to regenerate spermatogenesis and create embryos has been achieved in nonhuman mammal species. Although the outcomes of human trials have yet to be released, this method may soon be approved for clinical use in humans. Furthermore, regenerative medicine techniques that develop tissue or cells on organic or synthetic scaffolds enriched with bioactive molecules have also gained traction. All of these methods are now in different stages of experimentation and clinical trials. However, thanks to rigorous studies on the safety and effectiveness of SSC-based reproductive treatments, some of these techniques may be clinically available in upcoming decades.
Determinantes de la rentabilidad en la industria manufacturera uruguaya: el papel de los costos
Authors: Kuster Nieves Christian
Published: March 2024

Dada la importancia de las inversiones en la marcha de las firmas, este trabajo se propone dos objetivos: describir la evolución de la rentabilidad de las empresas manufactureras en Uruguay en 2010-2017, y verificar en qué medida esta rentabilidad depende de los cambios en el tamaño y de la estructura de costos de las empresas, es decir identificar el mecanismo que tracciona entre el tamaño y la rentabilidad. Para ello, se vale de una base de datos contables de 595 empresas manufactureras. Los resultados obtenidos muestran en primer lugar que la industria uruguaya ha experimentado un continuo decrecimiento de su rentabilidad, en todos los rubros. En segundo lugar, de forma predominante, el aumento del tamaño empresarial ha provocado un efecto negativo en la rentabilidad. Ese efecto opera a través de una reducción de los márgenes porcentuales y una baja en la rotación de stocks. Como subproducto de la investigación principal, al utilizar la técnica de estratificación por quintiles, se observó que las firmas del estrato más grande son en promedio 10 veces más grandes que las del estrato inferior y 44 veces más grandes en promedio que las de los restantes tres estratos.
EDUCAÇÃO INTERCULTURAL CRÍTICA E RELAÇÕES INTERRACIAIS/ANTIRRACIAIS NA ESCOLA
Authors: Silva Luciane Lima da , Estácio Marcos André Ferreira
Published: March 2024

O ponto de partida do presente trabalho situa-se no fato de que ao nos confrontarmos com a realidade da população brasileira, percebemos o quanto ela é atravessada por diversidades-diferenças. Contudo, ao convivermos comnos espaços-tempos escolares, identificamos que esta não parece estar preparada para lidar com todas aquelas. Assim, na pretensão de compreendermos as implicações contidas nessas questões, nos questionamos: quais práticas pedagógicas se fazem necessárias para atendermos as necessidades de uma escola que busque construir uma sociedade que combata os racismos e as discriminações? A resposta a essa questão não é tão simples, mas talvez uma das possibilidades passe pela educação em uma perspectiva intercultural crítica e antirracista. Sendo assim, nos propomos a discutir-problematizar práticas pedagógicas orientadas para o combate aos racismos e as discriminações em diálogo com a interculturalidade crítica. Para trazermos essa discussão, é preciso refletirmos sobre dos valores presentes nas práticas pedagógicas das/dos educadoras(es) visto que para se combater os racismos e as discriminações nas escolas, é importante, reconhecer que ele persiste nesses espaços-tempos. Destacamos que não procuramos apontar culpados, pois reconhecemos que somos fruto de uma educação com forte tendência eurocêntrica, bem como vivemos até os dias atuais os efeitos da colonização. Sendo assim, este trabalho se propõe a percorrer os caminhos do materialismo histórico-dialético, para assim, compreendermos a construção histórica que resultou em como vemos-percebemos as/os negras/negros na sociedade hoje. Para prosseguirmos com o proposto neste estudo, o qual é de natureza qualitativa, do tipo bibliográfica e documental, ele está dividido em 3 partes. Na primeira, nos aproximamos das construções do que é o racismo e a discriminação (Munanga, 2021; Kilomba, 2019), dos construtos teóricos relativos à educação intercultural crítica (Candau, 2023) e outros conceitos chave para compreensão do tema proposto. Na segunda, nos propomos a fazer diálogos entre a educação intercultural crítica, o combate aos racismos e as discriminações nas práticas pedagógicas, destacando a importância da discussão dessas questões nas escolas para que educadoras(es) compreendam-assumam que o processo educativo vai além da simples exploração dos conteúdos, uma vez que também é atravessado por dimensões mais complexas como a diversidade, a identidade-identificação racial e entre tantas outras. Para finalizar, o texto discute a identificação-problematização dos desafios vividos-sentidos para a adoção de uma prática antirracista e intercultural crítica em sala de aula, que estabeleça conexões crítico-problematizadoras entre educação, relações étnico-raciais e direitos humanos.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo investigar as percepções de professores da primeira etapa da Educação Básica sobre a inclusão de crianças com deficiência. Além disso, relaciona essa questão com a garantia dos Direitos Humanos da criança com deficiência. Para isso, parte de uma abordagem qualitativa e utiliza como instrumento de coleta de dados um questionário composto por questões semiestruturadas, aplicado a sete professores no formato online. Os dados foram analisados a partir da análise textual qualitativa e apresentam como resultado que as professoras que participaram da pesquisa compreendem a Educação Inclusiva na Educação Infantil como um direito das crianças com deficiência. Ao mesmo tempo, essas profissionais indicam desafios para a efetivação da inclusão escolar. Dentre os desafios identificados, destacamos a formação de professores e compreendemos que a presença da temática da inclusão ao longo da formação docente é fundamental para o desenvolvimento profissional de professores que atuam em contextos educacionais inclusivos, de modo a contribuir para a superação de barreiras atitudinais, combate ao capacitismo e garantia de Direitos Humanos.
A LEI DE COTAS PARA PESSOAS COM DEFICIÊNCIA NO ENSINO SUPERIOR – UMA ANÁLISE NECESSÁRIA
Authors: Carvalho Michele Lemos de Oliveira Sousa , Silva Nilma Fernandes de Miranda
Published: March 2024

Nos últimos anos tem se observado a crescente participação de pessoas com deficiência no ensino superior. Embora a Lei nº 13.409 de 28 de dezembro de 2016 garanta a reserva de vagas, é indispensável pesquisar como tem se dado o acesso destes estudantes. Esse estudo, refere-se a um recorte de uma pesquisa de mestrado, que se baseia na abordagem qualitativa, tendo como procedimento a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Para compreender a consolidação da Lei nº 13.409, é importante contextualizá-la. Em 2012 foi sancionada a Lei nº 12.711 que dispõe sobre o ingresso nas universidades federais e nas instituições federais de ensino técnico de nível médio. É uma ação afirmativa, portanto, reparadora, buscando reduzir as desigualdades sociais. Com essa lei, houve a divisão das vagas de acesso ao ensino superior, considerando, 50% das vagas destinadas para a ampla concorrência e reserva de 50% das vagas para cotas de pessoas que estudaram durante a educação básica em escolas públicas. Dessas vagas para cotas, 50% são para pessoas cujas famílias possuem renda per capita igual ou inferior a um salário-mínimo e meio e a outra metade para estudantes de escolas públicas com renda familiar superior a um salário-mínimo e meio. Dentre essas cotas, existe a subdivisão para pessoas pretas, pardas, indígenas, quilombolas e para pessoas com deficiência. O cálculo das vagas e serem separadas para essas subdivisões são baseados nos dados divulgados pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística. Posto isso, o presente estudo pretende avaliar através da análise bibliográfica e documental a efetividade da Lei 13.409/2016 no que tange à garantia do acesso de pessoas com deficiência no ensino superior, ademais, analisar em quais condições tem ocorrido a permanência e a conclusão dos cursos pelos estudantes com deficiência.
Nourishing Earth, Nourishing Ourselves Part 3: Locally Adapted Communities as Medicine for an Ailing Planet
Authors: Provenza Frederick
Published: March 2024

Once a species reliant on nature for food, medicine, clothing, and shelter, Homo sapiens is in the process of being consumed by the fossil fuel-based agricultural and technological economies that enabled warming climates, natural disasters, and the sixth mass extinction. These economies, based in competition rather than cooperation around natural resources, cause man-made shortages of clean water, fertile soil, biodiversity, wholesome foods, and unpolluted air. The resources that enabled unprecedented biophysical transformations are now diminishing in availability and increasing in costs. These changes are a defining moment that may lead to mankind’s demise or may catalyze the rebirth of a vastly different ecological economy. The challenge is to create economies where communities benefit from locally sourced plants and animal products, produced in ways that nurture relationships among soil, water, plants, animals, and people to sustain a collective wellbeing. To do so, humans will need to relearn what it means to be a part of nature’s communities and transform from a technological to an eco-logical relationship with landscapes. If up to that challenge, Homo sapiens will remember what it means to be locally co-evolving with one another and the environment. Ultimately, the trials faced in addressing these critical issues have little to do with the issues per se, and everything to do with healing divides that polarize and isolate people.

‘Sewing together’: An idiographic study of a music therapist’s experiences of a group at a special school for children and young people with severe and complex special educational needs
Authors: Annesley Luke , O’Neill Nicolette
Published: March 2024

This research was commissioned by a school in London which provides for children and young people aged 2 to 16 with a wide range of learning difficulties. This single-participant study uses video annotation, video elicitation interview and interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) to explore perceptions of processes in a music therapy group, from the point of view of a music therapist. Two tables of annotations present a description of events in each video clip in a timeline. The IPA interview analysis produced 25 emergent themes, grouped into four superordinate themes (‘Balancing diverse needs’; ‘Spontaneity’; ‘Therapists’ musical stance’; ‘Group dynamics’). Parallels are drawn with other music therapy groups described in the literature and with Foulkes’ group analytic psychotherapy. The study elucidates an approach to group music therapy which provides a space for spontaneous and meaningful interaction, both through music and other modalities.
Correlation Between Lung Clearance Index (LCI) and Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1) in Children with Cystic Fibrosis (CF): A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Modaresi Mohammadreza , Rafizadeh Babak , Eftekhari Kambiz , Shirzadi Rohola , Tarighatmonfared Fateme , Mirlohi Seyed Hossein
Published: March 2024

Background: The Lung Clearance Index (LCI) serves as a non-uniform ventilation index utilized for monitoring pulmonary function in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Lung Clearance Index exhibits higher sensitivity compared to forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) for early detection of lung disease and does not necessitate active patient cooperation, as required for FEV1 measured through spirometry. Presently, FEV1 is the standard parameter employed for monitoring lung function in CF patients. Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the correlation between LCI and FEV1 in patients with cystic fibrosis. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled children aged 6 to 18 years with confirmed CF diagnosis, who were referred to the CF clinic at Children's Medical Center Hospital (Tehran, Iran). Participants completed consent forms and subsequently underwent pulmonary function tests. Lung Clearance Index was calculated using the exhaling-D device via the Multiple Breath Washout (MBW) method, followed by FEV1 assessment through spirometry. Results: The study included 52 patients with an average age of 12 years, among whom 52% were males. The mean ± standard deviation of FEV1 and LCI were 80.2% ± 25.3 and 8.9 ± 2.8, respectively. A significant inverse relationship was observed between these two parameters in the study (r = -0.49, P = 0.001). Conclusions: These findings further underscore the potential utility of LCI, which offers ease of administration and demonstrates high reliability and accuracy compared to FEV1 for monitoring pulmonary function in CF patients.

Rapid Progressivity in a 62-Year-Old Circumcised Man with Penile Cancer: A Case Report
Authors: Prabawati Patricia , Setyono Farid
Published: March 2024

Penile cancer is a rare malignancy globally, including in Indonesia, with notable morbidity and mortality rates. This case report discusses a 62-year-old male with a penile mass, emphasizing the diagnostic challenges and the importance of early intervention in penile cancer cases. The patient presented with a progressively growing penile mass, dysuria, and penile pain. Clinical examination revealed a palpable, reddish mass on the penile shaft with unclear borders, a urethral fistula, and enlarged inguinal lymph nodes. Laboratory results showed white blood cell count, haemoglobin, platelet count, glucose, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine abnormalities. An open biopsy suggested verrucous carcinoma, later revised to penile squamous cell carcinoma with inguinal lymph node metastases. Penile cancer, particularly squamous cell carcinoma, primarily affects older, uncircumcised men. Verrucous carcinoma, though rare, is associated with poor hygiene and lack of circumcision. Notably, misdiagnoses may occur due to the limited scope of open biopsies. Penile cancer is preventable, and its significant risk factors are modifiable. Penile carcinoma, although uncommon, poses severe consequences for affected individuals. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for improved outcomes. This case highlights the challenges in diagnosis, emphasizing the need for comprehensive assessments and awareness of the modifiable risk factors associated with penile cancer.

Exploring the Bullying Behaviors and Coping Mechanisms in Undergraduates: A Phenomenological Study
Authors: Zamir Sharik , Zia Sumaira
Published: March 2024

This qualitative study aimed at investigating the direct or indirect experiences of bullying behavior and coping mechanisms opted by university students during their academic life. The philosophical view of the study comprised constructivist and interpretivist paradigms. The snow-ball technique of purposive sampling criteria was used wherein open-ended survey was distributed to one person who further invited another instance of bullying behavior which ended up with 150 bullying incidents. After a close examination, only 20 incidents were found complete and met the requirement for further investigation. The data were thematically analyzed which yielded five themes: malign and non-malign bullying experiences; perceived bullying behaviors among students; popular forms of bullying; major causes of bullying; functional and non-functional; and coping strategies. Moreover, survived, assisted, rescued, and lost were other bullying behaviors that potential participants narrated. The findings revealed assisted behaviour as the most demanding and preferably exhibited behaviour of the victims. Furthermore, this study identified the functional and non-functional strategies opted by students to mitigate the effects of bullying episodes. Similarly, the functional coping strategies included: help-seeking, avoidance, self-defense, and self-acceptance. Whereas, counterattack, surrender, and quitting were the non-functional coping strategies. Thus, this study contributed in understanding the lived experiences, current circumstances, and needs or desires of bullied students, and help future victims who were saved by their parents and/or teachers, but wanted to change their attitude by educating their kids against this societal challenge. The analysis of the role of parents, teachers, media, and social milieu in promoting bullying behaviors among students could be a future dimension for study.
A web-based platform for reliable market linkage between poultry farmers and potential buyers in Tanzania
Authors:   , Mambile Cesilia
Published: March 2024

In Tanzania the advancement of technology has brought about affordable smartphones to most of livestock farmers. However, despite this potential, livestock farmers have limited utilization and access to livestock information to improve their business. Poultry farming is a widely practiced agricultural activity with a high potential for poverty reduction, climate change mitigation, enhancing food security and improving socio-economic transformation in pro-poor households and communities in Tanzania. The sector supports the livelihoods of 3.7 million households in Tanzania. But farmers in the sector are challenged on reliable market linkage information systems to interface with buyers for their products. Both poultry farmers and buyers rely on informal market information. Poultry farmers are equally challenged on limited exposure to technology. Study was carried out in Tanga region to poultry farmers and buyers. The findings form this study shows that key market information required by poultry farmers and buyers are price, buyer or farmer location, Poultry kilograms, amount of poultry needed by buyers, amount of poultry products needed by buyers, types of poultry needed by buyers and kind of poultry products needed by buyers. To overcome poultry market information gap, this study aims to develop a web-based platform for poultry market linkage with more focus on its usability and user experience (UX) design, and to assessment its usability and user experience. Eye tracking method combined with retrospective think aloud method together with facial expression was used to test user experience of the developed web-based platform while to assess its usability think aloud protocol together with pre and post assessment methods was used. The developed web based platform is simple and not overloaded, it provide all the required market information. The platform supports buying and selling as well as order management. Furthermore, farmers can perform auctions on the platform, the payment method is cash on delivery. The application is also available in Swahili.
Varhaiskasvatuksen erityisopettajien kuvaukset vaativan monialaisen tuen toimijaverkostosta lapsen tukea koskevassa yhteistyössä

Published: March 2024

Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan varhaiskasvatuksen erityisopettajien (VEO) näkemyksiä vaativasta monialaisesta tuesta ja siihen liittyvästä yhteistyöstä. Vaativa monialainen tuki käsitteenä ja käytänteenä herättää keskustelua varhaiskasvatuskontekstissa eikä yhteneväistä määritelmää käsitteelle ole. Hyödynnämme tutkimuksessa VEOjen kirjoitelmista (N = 128) koostuvaa eläytymismenetelmäaineistoa. Kahdessa kehyskertomuksessa, joihin VAKA-TUVET-täydennyskoulutushankkeen osallistujat tuottivat vaativaa monialaista tukea koskevia kuvauksia, tuen kohteena oli joko käyttäytymisellään reagoiva lapsi tai lapsi, jolla on kehitysvamma ja autismi. Aineisto analysoitiin diskurssianalyysilla, jonka avulla tutkittiin, mitä toimijoita VEOt liittävät vaativaan monialaiseen tukeen, ja miten VEOt asemoivat itseään ja muita tuen toimijoita monialaisessa yhteistyössä. Tulosten kymmenen vaativan monialaisen tuen toimijaa asemoitiin neljällä tavalla: aktiiviset tuen toimijat, asiantuntijat, mahdollistajat sekä vastaanottajat. Tulosten perusteella vaativan monialaisen tuen yhteistyön käytänteitä ja VEO:n rooli yhteistyön koordinaattorina tulisi edelleen selkiyttää. Tulokset auttavat vaativan monialaisen tuen käytänteiden ja yhteistyön suunnittelussa.

KONSEP WASATHIYAH: PENAFSIRAN ATAS QS. 2:143 DENGAN PENDEKATAN MA’NA CUM MAGHZA
Authors: Hidayat Lalu Fathoni , Firdaus2 Andrian
Published: March 2024

Islam Wasathiyah masih menjadi salah satu isu yang populer untuk dikaji dewasa ini. Isu ini berkembang sebagai counter atas semakin melunjaknya wacana radikalisme dan terosisme agama di tengah masyarakat. Wasathiyah sebagai konsep ajaran yang bertujuan untuk menghasilkan ummat yang memiliki sifat-sifat moderat dalam setiap lini kehidupan. Sifat-sifat tersebut misalnya tawasuth, tawazun, dan tasamuh. Oleh karena itu, artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap konsep washatiyah dengan melakukan penafsiran terhadap QS. 2:143 berdasarkan tinjauan hermeneutika ma’na cum maghza. Kajian tersebut dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif berdasarkan paradigma dekonstruktivis. Peninjauan kembali penafsiran QS. 2:143 dilakukan dengan menggunakan analisis tekstual-literal (kajian gramatikal bahasa) yang dipadukan dengan analisis kontekstual (kajian historis mikro dan makro). Kedua tinjauan tersebut dilakukan untuk menemukan makna signifikansi fenomenal historis dan dinamis terhadap penafsiran QS. 2:143. Adapun sumber literatur yang digunakan adalah kitab-kitab tafsir, gramatikal bahasa, dan historis sebagai sumber data dalam kajian ini. Hasil temuan menunjukan bahwa QS. 2:143 wasahtiyah merupakan karakteristik dari agama Islam, agama yang tidak mengajarkan pemahaman-pemahaman yang ekstrimis. Pun Islam memberikan batasan tertentu terhadap pemikiran yang radikal dan liberal yang membiarkan akal bekerja lepas dari kontrol hati dalam praktiknya. Sehingga dalam hal ini wacana wasathiyah adalah untuk menunjukkan posisi Islam sebagai agama yang kaya akan metodologis serta memperhatikan sisi-sisi keseimbangan di dalamnya, tidak hanya dalam perilaku sosial, tetapi juga dalam praktik periberibadatan, berakidah, dan bermu’amalah.
