BEBER DE OUTRAS FONTES:
Authors: Silva Gilberto Ferreira da
Published: May 2024

Este texto nasce da incômoda função de produzir conhecimento amparado totalmente em um modo ocidental. A questão que se coloca é das possibilidades de se beber de outras fontes ou até mesmo trocar de fonte, deslocando-se propositadamente da “fonte” hegemônica, procurando espaços geoepistêmicos que permitam a hidratação de um modo de pensamento outro. Isso significa partir em busca de um “banhar-se”, não somente no sentido metafórico, mas um permitir-se ser tomado por estas outras possibilidades. Neste trabalho procuramos produzir um percurso que toma elementos, historicamente silenciados, apagados ou ocultados, convidando-os para o diálogo. Nesse esforço “arqueológico” procura-se potencializar o que se deu neste apagamento, explorando a potência, enquanto condição, para a produção e valorização de conhecimentos outros. Se anuncia, em primeira mão, o quanto os saberes, ancorados em ancestralidades de povos e grupos humanos que foram deslocados para a margem da história, ganham um lugar de destaque nesta construção.

Este estudo analisa a distribuição espaço-temporal de lesões autoprovocadas em adolescentes de 10 a 19 anos no estado do Amazonas no período de 2017 a 2022 utilizando dados secundários das fichas de notificação compulsória do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN). Na análise de associação entre variáveis, utilizou-se o modelo de regressão binomial negativa com efeito aleatório municipal, considerando a contagem de casos notificados como variável observada. Adicionalmente, para avaliar a evolução temporal e espacial das taxas de lesões autoprovocadas, foram elaborados mapas temáticos e para identificar padrões de dependência espacial entre os municípios foram utilizados os índices de Moran Global e Local. Foram identificados 1242 registros de notificações durante o estudo, evidenciando o sexo masculino como fator de proteção em comparação ao feminino, enquanto a raça/cor parda revelou-se um fator de risco em relação às demais, exceto para a raça/cor indígena, que não apresentou diferença significativa (nível de significância de 5%). Houve aumento nas taxas de lesões autoprovocadas de 2017 a 2022, com picos em 2019 e 2022, destacando-se na região do Alto Solimões, mantendo altas taxas. Outras áreas de destaque incluem o Triângulo, Rio Madeira, Juruá, especialmente Humaitá, com uma taxa de 34,38 em 2019.

Este estudo destaca a importância do raciocínio geográfico interseccional na equipe multidisciplinar de saúde do projeto e-Care-Sentinela, implementado para mitigar os impactos da COVID-19 na comunidade universitária da Universidade Estadual Paulista. Iniciado em junho de 2021, o projeto incorporou a telessaúde como estratégia, sendo expandido para diversas especialidades em 2022. Desde o início, a equipe de Geografia desempenhou um papel crucial na análise espacial dos atendimentos, utilizando tradições teóricas geográficas para abordar princípios como localização, distribuição, conectividade e ordem espacial. Ao longo do tempo, a abordagem interseccional foi incorporada, enriquecendo a compreensão das iniquidades em saúde através da interação entre diversos eixos de subordinação, sob uma perspectiva feminista. Os resultados do projeto foram apresentados através da visualização geográfica, incluindo mapas temáticos, gráficos, tabelas e nuvem de palavra. Destacam-se a identificação de equipamentos públicos de saúde nos 24 municípios do Estado de São Paulo onde a universidade está presente, facilitando a orientação de pessoas discentes, servidoras, professoras e terceirizadas para o sistema público de saúde. Análises revelaram que pessoas brancas, do sexo feminino e discentes foram os principais usuários das teleconsultas, enquanto a tabulação dos dados identificou sintomas prevalentes, como perda de apetite, perda de peso e sintomas persistentes da COVID-19. A expansão do projeto e análises geográficas indicaram a prevalência de diabetes, hipertensão e doenças respiratórias. Este artigo conclui demonstrando como a inclusão de uma equipe de Geografia na telessaúde contribui para o planejamento estratégico de ações preventivas, sublinhando a importância de iniciativas que promovam a saúde na comunidade universitária.
Semantic Alignment of Official and Collaborative Geospatial Data: A Case Study in Brazil
Authors: Machado Adriana Alexandria , Camboim Silvana Philippi
Published: May 2024

Geospatial data is crucial for sustainable development, but obtaining up-to-date and high-quality data is challenging in many regions, including Brazil. Collaborative mapping on platforms such as OpenStreetMap (OSM) has produced updated and open geospatial data, especially in urban areas, but its quality is heterogeneous. In addition, semantic interoperability is challenging when integrating OSM data with authoritative geospatial data. This article presents a procedure for semantic alignment between two conceptual models within a conflation process to elicit background knowledge for geospatial data integration. The first model is the Technical Specification for Structuring Vector Geospatial Data (ET-EDGV 3.0) in Brazilian Portuguese, and the second is the OSM model with tags mainly in English. The alignment produced a table combining the ET-EDGV classes, attributes, domains, and geometries with the OSM tags and elements. The semantic alignment was tested in two study areas to check the thematic accuracy of transportation data imported from OSM compared to the data in the reference database. The study found that the best percentage of segments correctly classified by alignment was for "highway=trunk" tags (98.27%) and "highway=primary" (98.20%), corresponding to road and highway segments, and for the "highway=residential" tag (76.20%), corresponding to sections of residential streets. The study also identified factors that may contribute to low accuracy rates, including ambiguous semantic descriptions and the need for local context analysis. This research contributes to adding collaborative data to the official mapping, a relevant alternative for updating and supplementing reference mapping that can be applied in other geographical contexts.

Alien plants in field margins and fields of southwestern Poland
Authors: Dajdok Zygmunt , Wuczyński Andrzej
Published: May 2024

Field margins are generally considered as important semi-natural habitats in intensive agricultural landscapes. Also, they are areas of regular and extensive disturbance by anthropogenic factors. As such, field margins are likely to be dominated by alien plants, including invasive species. This paper examines the relative abundance of alien and native plant species occurring in seventy field margins and adjacent crop fields in SW Poland, as well as the mutual relationship between different groups of alien species. Anthropophytes constituted 22.5% of the 435 vascular plants recorded in 1319 phytosociological relevés. They were twice as abudant in crop fields than in field margins. Most of the alien species identified were archaeophytes, the percentage of neophytes was much lower, and ergasiophygophytes were found sporadically. Archaeophytes were substantially more frequent in the peripheral (adjacent to crop fields) zones of the margins than in their interior. This suggests the direction in which these species disperse - from cultivated fields to field margins. Neophytes were more evenly distributed throughout the various zones. Only six alien species (all of them archaeophytes) recorded in the relevés are considered endangered in the studied region. The habitats examined were also only slightly colonized by the most invasive alien species. This suggests that plant communities of the field margins are still resistant to invasion. Results indicate, that field margins play only a minor role in the distribution and dispersion of alien species and are far more important reservoir of native plants. Although low number of plant species of special conservation value was located in field margins, they should deserve special protection in intensive agro-ecosystems because they harbour a suite of plants not found in other farmland habitats.
Invasive and expansive plant species in Slovakian agrocoenoses
Authors: Májeková Jana , Zaliberová Marica
Published: May 2024

The distribution of invasive alien and expansive native vascular plant species in plant communities growing on fields in Slovakia was studied. Arable fields (cereals, perennial fodder crops, root, and stubbles) and 1-2-year abandoned fields were evaluated. The study was based on phytosociological data consisting of 486 relevés recorded in 2002-2008, from various parts of Slovakia. In the group of 371 vascular plant taxa recorded in the segetal communities (so-called weeds), 56 taxa are invasive or expansive species, representing 15% of total taxa. Among them, 21 taxa are invasive (10 neophytes and 11 archaeophytes), 10 are potentially invasive, 4 are frequently escaping from cultivation, 6 are occasionally escaping from cultivation, 5 species are naturalized, 8 are expansive native taxa, and 2 are data-deficient. The most frequent invasive or expansive weed species in the studied agrocoenoses were: Tripleurospermum perforatum, Cirsium arvense, and Veronica persica. Recorded species belong to 19 families, mostly to the Asteraceae, Chenopodiaceae, and Poaceae.
Human impact on wetland flora of the Warsaw-Berlin proglacial valley
Authors: Kopeć Dominik , Halladin-Dąbrowska Anna , Chmielecki Błażej , Kucharski Leszek
Published: May 2024

Central Poland is a region with low wetland richness. Its most valuable meadows and peatlands are situated in the eastern part of the Warsaw-Berlin proglacial valley, between Łowicz and Dąbie. This largest wetland area of Central Poland covers ca. 20 000 hectares, with a mosaic of meadows, forests, various wetlands, and small areas of arable land. Over the last 50 years, a negative impact of agriculture has been observed in the plant cover at the bottom of the proglacial valley, e.g. extinction of many wetland plant species. The main aim of this research was to determine the impact of agriculture on floristic diversity and natural condition of the wetland. In the 77 studied squares (1 km2each), we recorded ca. 600 species of vascular plants. The squares greatly varied in species composition and number. The long-term human pressure on the proglacial valley flora caused its significant degradation: with the progress of transformation of the area, the participation of anthropophytes and apophytes increases. Additionally, intensive agriculture in the proglacial valley causes extinction of species from wetland habitats.
Evaluation and control model for resilience of water resource building system based on fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method and its application
Authors: Chen Shengming , Ji Meiling , Chen Zeyou , Xiang Yong
Published: May 2024

The conflict between the supply and consumption of water resources (WR) is a growing concern, and water scarcity has become a major obstacle to the sustainable development of Chinese cities. To address this issue, the resilience assessment regulation model has proven to be an effective tool for decision makers. This model helps them determine how to improve the resilience of WR building systems and mitigate potential risks and threats. The aim of this article is to explore the evaluation and regulation of the resilience of WR building systems, with the goal of alleviating the WR crisis and promoting sustainable development. Through the construction of an evaluation index system, determination of index weights, design of evaluation models, and application of case studies, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method was employed to assess the resilience of WR systems. Additionally, an evaluation regulation model was established, along with the proposed regulation method. The evaluation index system consists of four dimensions: flexibility, adaptability, resilience, and fault tolerance.
Against Harm: Keating on the Soul of Tort Law
Authors: Helmreich Jeffrey S.
Published: May 2024

An orthodox view of tort law sees it as primarily a means of assigning costs -- for economic reasons, on some views, or for moral reasons, on others. Gregory Keating compellingly challenges this orthodoxy, showing how tort is essentially a matter of setting prospective norms designed to protect rational agents from wrongful harms, to which it attaches special negative significance. Here I discuss two areas that may raise complications for this account -- strict liability and the tortious infliction of pain -- and propose a reconciliation.

Published: May 2024

Grisebach, D, Bornath, DPD, McCarthy, SF, Jarosz, C, and Hazell, TJ. Low-load and high-load resistance exercise completed to volitional fatigue induce increases in post-exercise metabolic responses with more prolonged responses with the low-load protocol. J Strength Cond Res 38(8): 1386–1393, 2024—Comparisons of high-load with low-load resistance training (RT) exercise have demonstrated no differences in postexercise metabolism when volume is matched. This important limitation of matching or equating volume diminishes benefits of the low-load RT protocol. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of acute low-load high volume and high-load low volume RT protocols completed to volitional fatigue on postexercise metabolism. Eleven recreationally active resistance-trained male subjects (24 ± 2 years; BMI: 25.3 ± 1.5 kg·m−2) completed 3 experimental sessions: (a) no-exercise control (CTRL); (b) RT at 30% 1 repetition maximum (1RM; 30% 1RM); and (c) RT at 90% 1RM (90% 1RM) with oxygen consumption (V̇o
2) measurements 2 hours postexercise. The RT sessions consisted of 3 sets of back squats, bench press, straight-leg deadlift, military press, and bent-over rows to volitional fatigue completed sequentially with 90 seconds of rest between sets and exercises. Changes were considered important if p < 0.100 with a ≥medium effect size. V̇o
2 1 hour postexercise was elevated following 30% 1RM (25%; p = 0.003, d = 1.40) and 90% 1RM (14%; p = 0.010, d = 1.15) vs. CTRL and remained elevated 2 hours postexercise following 30% 1RM (16%; p = 0.010, d = 1.15) vs. CTRL. Total O2 consumed postexercise increased following 30% 1RM and 90% 1RM (∼17%; p < 0.044, d > 0.91) vs. CTRL. Fat oxidation was elevated 1 hour postexercise following 30% 1RM and 90% 1RM (∼155%; p < 0.001, d > 2.97) and remained elevated 2 hours postexercise following 30% 1RM compared with CTRL and 90% 1RM (∼69%; p < 0.030, d > 1.03). These data demonstrate beneficial changes to postexercise metabolism following high- and low-load RT sessions, with more prolonged effects following the low-load RT protocol completed to volitional fatigue.
The Right of Trade Unions to Information in the Era of the Fourth and Fifth Industrial Revolutions
Authors: Baran Krzysztof
Published: May 2024

The dynamic technological transformations that are taking place in the third decade of the twenty-first century, described as the Fourth and even Fifth Industrial Revolutions, pose significant challenges for community partners who act in labour relationships. Transparency and the related right to information are some of the factors that define a democratic state under the rule of law. This also applies to labour relationships as widely understood. The regulations of collective employment law grant various rights in this respect to entities that represent staff, who may, among other things, demand information on the use of artificial intelligence by the employer in the work environment. In the Polish labour law system, the widest scope of competences in this regard is granted to trade unions. This article focuses on the legal and functional aspects that are related to the transfer of this type of data.
Collective Bargaining in Technology-Based Employment
Authors: Jaspers Teun , Mądrzycki Błażej , Pisarczyk Łukasz
Published: May 2024

New technology has profoundly influenced the world of work. The use of technology brings advantages for all – employers, workers and their representatives – but also some risks and hazards for working people. Despite technological development, workers still need effective protection that will ensure safety and sustainable development. The legal framework for this protection, both at European and national levels, is still under construction. An important role in filling the regulatory gap may be also played by collective bargaining. Moreover, modern technologies open up new possibilities for social partners to build their capacity and organize the process of negotiations. However, collective bargaining in the area of tech-based work remains in statu nascendi. This article analyses the need for and the advantages of collective protection in tech-based employment, its role in improving working standards and the influence of new technology on industrial relations.
Lack of Transparency in Algorithmic Management of Workers and Trade Unions’ Right to Information: European and Polish Perspectives
Authors: Stefański Krzysztof , Żywolewska Katarzyna
Published: May 2024

The ‘black box issue’ is one of the biggest problems with algorithmic management. The lack of transparency in the operation and decision-making of AI is of greatest concern to those whose data is being processed (including employees). Trade unions, as the organisations that most represent the interests of workers, can play a big role here; however, they need to be empowered. There is a lack of legislation at EU and Member State level to set norms for this issue; the only country that has already introduced such legislation is Spain. The draft Polish regulation refers to the Spanish solutions and seems to be very interesting. It introduces the possibility for trade unions to obtain data from an employer on the operation of AI in relation to the algorithmic management of employees. The authors present this regulation against the background of EU recommendations and previous Polish legislation on the employer’s obligation to provide information. They also identify elements that need to be refined during the parliamentary process in order to make the regulation more effective in protecting workers’ rights.
Collective agreements on working conditions of solo self-employed persons: perspective of EU competition law
Authors: Jurkowska-Gomułka Agata , Piszcz Anna , Pais Sofia Oliveira
Published: May 2024

The 2022 Guidelines of the European Commission on the application of EU competition law to collective agreements regarding the working conditions of solo self-employed persons apparently introduced a fresh approach towards collective agreements in a gig economy era. The main aim of this paper is to discuss whether the 2022 Guidelines are an appropriate tool to address the problems of solo self-employed persons (i.e. persons who are not in a formal employment relationship and who rely primarily on their own personal labour to provide services) from the perspective of EU competition law. To this end, we first present key competition problems related to collective agreements (section 1). Second, we analyse the regulatory framework for exemptions from competition law, with a view for a potential exemption relevant for collective agreements, as well as an approach to collective agreements in EU case law (sections 2 and 3). Third, the background for adopting the Guidelines, and their goals, is analysed (sections 4 and 5). Fourth, the Guidelines are discussed in more detail in sections 6 and 7 from the perspective of exemptions from Art. 101(1) TFEU. Finally, we examine the relationship between the Guidelines and a proposal for a platform work directive. The article attempts to verify the hypothesis that the Guidelines may be considered a pseudo-development.
Adoctrinamiento y educación: consideraciones desde el enfoque radical e inclusivo para la enseñanza
Authors: De la Herrán-Gascón Agustín , Rodríguez-Herrero Pablo
Published: May 2024

Introduction. Indoctrination is currently a widely debated topic in social and educational theory, with discussions about its definition, causes, relationship with education, and alternatives. This paper analyzes indoctrination from the point of view of the radical and inclusive approach developed by the authors thirty years ago, incorporating classical Eastern perspectives and concepts into pedagogy and education. Aims. The objectives of the study are to examine the relationships between egocentrism, learning, and indoctrination and to outline a consciousness-based educational alternative from the radical and inclusive approach to education. Discussion. A dialectical pedagogical essay analyzes indoctrination from human egocentrism and current education based on learning, disciplinary knowledge, and competencies. As an alternative, the paper proposes an education based on consciousness, which includes processes of deconditioning and educational evolution from ego to consciousness. Conclusions. Indoctrination is the opposite of education. The primary challenge in educational teaching is determining whether to indoctrinate or educate. Education based on learning and competencies can be compatible with indoctrination. Egocentric systems (national, religious, ideological, military, scientific, cultural, educational, or other) can be sources of indoctrination. The most relevant didactic criterion is whether conscious educational institutions and educators conduct teaching. These conclusions have broad implications for the initial and in-service training of teachers and other educators, whether at personal or systemic levels.

Определен изотопный состав C и O в кальците и в (CO3)-группах карбонат-силикатов Ca(спуррита, тиллеита и скаполита) из пород Кочумдекского контактового ореола (Восточная Сибирь). Малые диапазоны различий между величинами δ13C и δ18O, характеризующие кочумдекские мраморы и их протолиты (Δδ13C ≤ 1.5 ‰ и Δδ18O ≤ 2.0 ‰), согласуются с низкой степенью высокотемпературной метаморфической декарбонатизации исходных мергелисто-карбонатных осадков (0.1—0.2) и отсутствием выраженных метасоматических изменений в породах ореола. Существенное обеднение изотопом 18O присуще только жильному скаполиту (δ18O от + 17.0 до + 17.3 ‰ V-SMOW) и кальциту из рекристаллизованных прослоев в известняках (δ18O от + 18.9 до + 20.6 ‰), что доказывает ограниченную инфильтрацию магматогенных водных флюидов из остывающего траппа внутрь вмещающей толщи. Определен изотопный состав C и O (CO3)-групп спуррита и тиллеита, которые обогащены изотопом 18O и могут быть несколько обеднены изотопом 13C относительно кальцита. Этот эффект максимален в наиболее высокотемпературных мервинитовых парагенезисах (Δδ18OSpu–Cal = + 3.3 ‰; Δδ13CSpu–Cal= –0.8 ‰). С применением метода беспиролизной газовой хромато-масс-спектрометрии (ГХ-МС) определены соотношения H2O и CO2 во флюиде при пиковых параметрах спуррит-мервинитового метаморфизма. Установлено, что флюидная фаза, законсервированная в кальците из мервинитовых мраморов, была богата CO2 (XCO2 = 0.4—0.6).

Carbon and oxygen isotope compositions have been determined in (CO3)-groups of Ca carbonate–silicate minerals (spurrite, tilleyite, and scapolite) and calcite from samples of the Kochumdek contact aureole (East Siberia). The observed small δ13C and δ18O difference between the Kochumdek marbles and their protoliths (Δδ13C ≤ 1.5‰ and Δ?δ18O ≤ 2.0‰) is consistent with moderate high-temperature metamorphic decarbonation of the protolith (0.1–0.2) and with almost absent metasomatic alteration in the aureole. Significant 18O depletion was inferred only for vein scapolite (δ18O from +17.0 to +17.3‰ V-SMOW) and calcite from recrystallized limestone layers (δ18O from +18.9 to +20.6‰), which is evidence for limited infiltration of magmatic aqueous fluids from the cooling sill into the host sediments. The C and O isotope compositions of (CO3)-bearing spurrite and tilleyite show lower 18O depletion and insignificant 13C depletion relative to calcite, especially in highest-temperature merwinite marble (Δδ18OSpu–Cal = +3.3‰; Δ?δ13CSpu–Cal = –0.8‰). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) provided constraints on the relative percentages of H2O and CO2 in the fluid at highest-temperature spurrite-merwinite metamorphism. The fluid phase entrapped in calcite from merwinite marble is rich in CO2 (XCO2 = 0.4–0.6).

Published: May 2024

Удоканский осадочный бассейн является уникальной геологической структурой, вмещающей множество месторождений и проявлений медистых песчаников. Детритовый хромшпинелид присутствует в метапесчаниках сакуканской свиты на Удоканском и Ункурском месторождениях, которые тяготеют к прослоям «естественного шлиха». Минерал образует реликтовые включения в кристаллах магнетита. Состав его отличается высокими концентрациями цинка (до 11.62 мас. % ZnO) и марганца (до 6.32 мас. % MnO) при практически полном отсутствии магния. По сравнению с ассоциирующим магнетитом, хромит существенно обогащен германием (до 666 г/т) и галлием (до 59.1 г/т). Образование Zn-хромшпинелида происходило при преобразовании детритового хромита на фоне специфических химических процессов, сопровождающих осаждение и раскристаллизацию железистого геля, обогащенного адсорбированными примесями.

The Udokan sedimentary basin is a unique geological structure containing many copperstone deposits and occurrences. A detrital chrome spinel is identified in the metasandstones of the Sakukan Formation at the Udokan and Unkur deposits, which tend to interlayers of natural heavy mineral concentrates. The mineral forms relict inclusions in magnetite crystals. Its composition is distinguished by high concentrations of zinc (up to 11.62 wt.% ZnO) and manganese (up to 6.32 wt.% MnO) with an almost complete absence of magnesium. In comparison with the associated magnetite, chromite is significantly enriched in germanium (up to 666 ppm) and gallium (up to 59.1 ppm). The formation of Zn-chrome spinel occurred during the transformation of detrital chromite against the background of specific chemical processes accompanying the deposition and crystallization of iron gel enriched with adsorbed impurities.

Background: Cervical ectopic pregnancy is a relatively rare type of ectopic pregnancy and has no standardized guidelines for management.Methods: This systematic review is based on the collection of case reports, published in PubMed/MEDLINE about the resolution of ectopic cervical pregnancies over the last decade and the presentation of a case managed in our healthcare unit. Studies involving cervical pregnancy in the first trimester with the presence of a viable embryo and β-hCG in the serum below 100.000 mIU/mL were included, while heterotopic pregnancies were excluded.Results: Nineteen articles reporting twenty-three case reports are demonstrated explicitly emphasizing on the management techniques. There is no established approach for the management of this type of ectopic pregnancy.Conclusion: It is important to consider the conservative approaches as first-line treatment in all cases of cervical pregnancy preserving fertility. Minimally invasive methods are also described and preferred as second-line treatment, as reported in our literature review.
Towards Automated Decision-Making at Court: The Use of Artificial Intelligence for Drafting and Rendering Court Decisions
Authors: Stolper Inesa
Published: May 2024

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the judicial system presents both opportunities and challenges. AI can expedite proceedings, reduce costs, and broaden access to justice by serving as a decision-making assistant or an autonomous decision-maker. The article is structured into three main parts: an overview of AI technologies and their classification, a detailed examination of AI‘s role as an assistant in judicial decision-making, and a consideration of AI as an autonomous decision-maker.The analysis revealed that while AI can significantly assist in legal proceedings by offering preliminary judgments or legal advice, its capacity as an autonomous decision-maker is complex.A robust legal foundation respecting procedural norms and Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) is crucial. This legal framework should define AI‘s operational boundaries within the judiciary to prevent infringement on the right to a fair trial. Moreover, in line with Article 22 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), there must be opportunities for human intervention and the ability to contest AI-generated decisions, safeguarding a human-centric approach to justice.The issue of bias in AI, reflecting pre-existing prejudices in training data, underscores the importance of careful programming, dataset selection, and ongoing oversight to avoid perpetuating discriminatory practices. AI‘s potential in simulating legal reasoning in straightforward cases suggests a cautious yet optimistic engagement with technology, advocating for its selective application in scenarios where public hearings are unnecessary.The paper concludes that while AI presents a promising tool for enhancing judicial processes, its use must be approached with caution. It advocates for a balanced, multi-faceted approach to AI integration, emphasizing ongoing evaluation, legal regulation, and the selective application of AI technologies.

Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have a lower risk of developing Prostate Cancer (PCa). This apparent "protection" is mainly due to a deficit in the insulin signal and a state of hypogonadism associated with insulin resistance (IR), which would bring about a decrease in available testosterone levels. On the other hand, the concomitance of DM in patients with PCa leads to higher morbidity and mortality, even in tumor stages with a good prognosis, in the context of a lower response rate to cancer treatments and a higher frequency of tumor recurrence. Glycemic control directly affects these prognostic factors, since an adequate clinical-nutritional approach is mandatory in this dual relationship pathology.

Background: Despite the high prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Egypt, the real prevalence and epidemiology of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in Upper Egypt are still lacking. Objective: This study aims to determine the prevalence and risk factors of GDM among pregnant women in Upper Egypt and to evaluate the fetal and maternal outcomes of this disease. Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted between July 2014 and July 2018. Universal screening for GDM among all pregnant women attending primary health care clinics was done using Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group of India (DIPSI) criteria. Those with GDM were followed up until the end of purpureum. Maternal and fetal outcomes were recorded. Results: GDM was diagnosed in 956 out of 7141 pregnant women (13.4%). Previous history of GDM, macrosomic babies, and family history of diabetes were all significantly higher in GDM women (P<0.001 each). However, no definite risk factors were observed in about half of the GDM women. 29% of GDM women responded to medical nutrition therapy (MNT) alone. When the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was repeated Postpartum, diagnosis of DM was established in 14.3% of the cohort, while 25.7% had impaired glucose tolerance. Conclusions: The prevalence of GDM is relatively high in Upper Egypt. Half of GDM cases lack risk factors. Universal screening using OGTT should be routinely performed on all attendant pregnant ladies. Discrete MNT is not enough management in most GDM cases.
Long term effects of SARS-Cov2 associated minimal change glomerulonephritis: a case report and review of literature
Authors: Akl Ahmed , Fakeeh Maged Mazen
Published: May 2024

Background: Due to the outbreak of SARS-COV2 in December 2019, an international COVID19 disease curfew has been imposed. COVID-19's persistent clinical symptoms harmed the respiratory system. Patients' sporadic renal symptoms may be related to viral load, immunological response, or medicines utilized. Case report: A 37-year-old lady suffering from hypothyroidism. The patient presented to the nephrology clinic with lingering loss of smell and taste after a COVID-19 infection 6 months prior, as well as a one-week history of bilateral lower limb swelling and puffy eye lids. The urine albumin/creatinine ratio was 2786 mg/g, the total serum cholesterol was 528 mg/dl, the LDL was 423.4 mg/dl, and the triglyceride was 174.5 mg/dl, with a 24-hour urine protein collection returning 4912 mg/day. Complement 3 (C3), complement 4 (C4), and erythrocytes sedimentation rate (E.S.R) were all within normal limits, indicating that post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were improbable, as complement levels are normally lowered in these disorders. Light microscopy indicated intact glomeruli, negative immunofluorescence, effacement of podocyte foot processes, and no viral particles after a renal biopsy. The condition was diagnosed as a minimal change in glomerulonephritis. The patient was started on Prednisolone 60 mg orally once daily, as well as Ramipril 5 mg orally once daily, and there was a good response to therapy after one month. The albumin/creatinine ratio decreased from 2786.56 to 5.69 mg/g, urine microalbumin fell from 7278 to 11 mg/L, total cholesterol decreased to 215.4, and urine protein decreased from 4912 to 91.8 mg/day. The oral steroids were gradually reduced in dosage. Three weeks later, all lab work was performed and showed remarkable improvement. The 24- hour urine protein content was found to be 82.6 mg/day, with an albumin/creatinine ratio of 4.44 mg/g. Conclusion: We present a case of post-COVID-19 minor change glomerulonephritis that responded entirely to steroids and was free of sequelae for two years.
Research programs and the progress of theory in sociology: the post-positivist conception of J. Berger, M. Zelditch Jr. and D. Wagner
Authors: Reznik Volodymyr
Published: May 2024

The article presents an explanation of the post-positivist conception of the progress of sociological theories in research programs, which was developed by J. Berger, M. Zelditch Jr. and D. Wagner. Their conception specified related types of theoretical structure and dynamics of research programs, as well as their functions in sociological theorizing. Structural and dynamic differences of research programs represent different types of conceptual connections between theories and their corresponding basic modes of theoretical growth. In particular, the elaboration of theories of certain explanatory domains by increasing their scope, rigor, precision, or empirical relevance is a mode of progress of linear programs. The proliferation of theories into new explanatory domains and the expansion of the subject range of their applicability is the mode of development of branching programs. The competition of theories in a certain explained domain for the best conceptual representation of its problems is a mode of progress of competing programs. Special types of conceptual connections and modes of theoretical progress may also emerge between theories in linear, branching, and competing research programs: variation of theories as a result of deepening them into their established subject domains due to increased conceptual insight, sophistication and detail; integration of theories. The theoretical development of research programs is provided by their functions, which are analogous to the functions of paradigms in mature sciences: determination of theoretical significance and doability of sociological problems; evaluation and cognitive-based selection of competing theoretical formulations of their solutions; ensuring synergy of the consequences of performing the above-mentioned functions.
A Qualitative Intervention Evaluation of Neonatal Virtual Family-Centered Rounds
Authors: Ranu Jaskiran , Hoffman Kristin R. , Sauers-Ford Hadley S. , Williams Jacob , Rosenthal Jennifer L.
Published: May 2024

OBJECTIVE

To conduct an implementation evaluation of the virtual family-centered rounds (FCR) intervention by exploring the perceptions and experiences of parents and care team providers.

METHODS

We conducted a qualitative descriptive study using a thematic analysis of unobtrusive observations of rounding encounters and semi-structured interviews with the parents of discharged infants and members of the neonatal care team. Eligible participants had used virtual FCR at least once. Five research team members independently performed focused coding and memo writing of transcripts and observation fieldnotes. The team met weekly to compare and refine codes, update the interview guide, develop tentative categories, and discuss the theoretical direction.

RESULTS

We conducted 406 minutes of unobtrusive observations and 21 interviews with parents, physicians, neonatal nurse practitioners, bedside nurses, dieticians, and pharmacists. Three themes and 13 subthemes emerged from the analysis: (1) virtual FCR improved perceived care delivery and clinical outcomes through increased opportunities for parent engagement, (2) the acceptance of virtual FCR by providers grew over time despite the persistent presence of technical challenges, and (3) the implementation of virtual FCR should be standardized and delivered by the care team to enhance usability, effectiveness, and sustainability.

CONCLUSIONS

Virtual FCR is perceived by NICU parents and care team providers to be a valuable intervention that can enhance family centered care. The identified virtual FCR implementation strategies should be tested in further studies.
Enchantment: A Critical Primer
Authors: Cuthbertson Ian Alexander
Published: May 2024

This book provides an overview of the various ways the concepts enchantment, disenchantment, and re-enchantment have been used both within religious studies scholarship and in related fields. Despite the prevalence of these concepts in recent scholarship, no introductory text on the subject of enchantment has yet been written. The first half of the book provides a concise overview of theoretical work on disenchantment, a critical exploration of empirical evidence for premodern enchantment and modern disenchantment, and an account of how enchantment has been used in scholarly and popular works to mark specific beliefs and practices as unacceptable, dangerous, or delusional. The second half of the book explores recent scholarship on re-enchantment and distinguishes between two main varieties: rational re-enchantment, which involves heightened emotions that are free from negative appraisals of premodern belief in magic and spirits, and spiritual re-enchantment, which involves the recovery of premodern beliefs and practices or the development of new alternative spiritual paths. The final chapter outlines a novel theoretical model for explaining modern enchantment as a variety of playful half-belief. This book will be useful for scholars and students working on a variety of topics including religion in modernity, theories of secularization, conflicts between science and religion, new religious movements, new materialisms, and immanent justifications for environmentalism.
