Published: August 2023

In the complex landscape of primary education, the nexus between cooperation and bullying is a subtle yet vital thread that weaves together the social dynamics of the classroom. Here, we probed this interplay, examining a diverse sample of 1,137 students dispersed across 47 public primary classrooms in Chile. Using a video-game interface to create a dyadic non-anonymous social dilemma, we charted the underlying cooperative network of each classroom. Complementing this, we collected data on bullying interactions, employing peer nominations and controlling for demographic and classroom context in a multilevel regression analysis. Our analysis unveils a robust negative correlation between the receipt of cooperation and the bully-victim category—students entangled in a dual role of both victim and perpetrator. Remarkably, this relationship persists even after stringent statistical controls, casting new light on the intricate relationships within the classroom ecosystem. Our findings thus extend beyond mere statistical observation to provide a fundamental understanding of the relationship between cooperation and bullying behavior, signposting a promising avenue for designing targeted interventions in primary education. By connecting the microcosm of the classroom with broader social phenomena, this study contributes to an evolving dialogue on human interaction and education, offering fresh insights to shape future educational policies and practices.
From Rally to Reality: Unveiling Long-Term Dynamics in Political Trust Over Two Years of COVID-19 in Germany
Authors: Zoch Gundula , Wamsler Steffen
Published: August 2023

Crises like wars, terrorist attacks, and economic or health crises are frequently followed by profound changes in political trust. Whereas crises dominated by immediate external threats often induce a strong initial increase in political trust, the “rally-around-the-flag” effect, prolonged events are more detrimental to this core feature of political support. We extend previous research on long-term shifts in political trust during extended crises by focusing on the case of the global Covid-19 pandemic. Drawing on individual-level panel data from Germany (N=21,001, 2017-2022) and district-level data on infection rates and government-imposed restrictions, we distinguish time trends from both government action and crisis severity. Estimating fixed-effects regression models, we present robust evidence of a prolonged increase in individual-level political trust throughout 2020 and early 2021, followed by a significant decline across different trust objects in 2021/22. Contrary to extant work, we find limited influence of infection rates, whereas more stringent government policies explain decreasing trust later in the pandemic. These results are robust to including individual-level pandemic experiences like changes in work and family life. Thus, our results provide first evidence that the initial rally effect remains discernible at least one year into the pandemic and that the role of government action becomes reversed over the course of the crisis.

The Effect of National Team with Non-Nationals on Nationalism: Natural Experiment Using the Rugby World Cup
Authors: NAKAI Ryo
Published: August 2023

This study investigates the impact of international sports events, specifically rugby, on nationalistic and xenophobic sentiments. While prior research has examined the effect of sports results on national pride and identification, the influence on attitudes toward foreigners remains understudied. Rugby provides a unique opportunity to explore this relationship as it does not demand nationality for national team selection, resulting in diverse multinational national teams. Using data from the World Values Survey, this study examines Japan's victory in the opening match of the 2019 Rugby World Cup as a natural experiment. The findings reveal a significant decrease in exclusionary sentiments towards neighbours of different races and foreign language speakers after Japan's victory, with almost null effects on national pride and identity. This suggests that rugby, as a representative sport that can include non-nationals, promotes tolerance for diversity instead of fueling chauvinistic nationalism.

Introduction Currently, the world is going through a major challenge in the context of public health, after the emergence of COVID-19 pandemic. This problem, in addition to cause inconvenience to the population, proves to be an inducing factor for occupational stress for those who need to face the virus directly, the healthcare workers. Objectives What is the level of occupational stress among health care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic? What are the possible strategies to be adopted by the occupational health service in order to provide support and follow-up to health professionals? Based on the questions raised, the aim is to analyze which individual and organizational variables predispose healthcare workers to higher levels of occupational stress during the COVID-19 pandemic and identify which strategies should be adopted by occupational health services, to provide support to their workers Methodology This is an integrative literature review, initiated through research carried out in February 2021, in the scientific databases CINAHL plus with full text, Medline with full text, Academic Search Complete, MedicLatina, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection and Repositório Científico do Instituto Nacional de Saúde. Results Seven articles were included. Through the studies analyzed, it was possible to conclude that the workload of healthcare workers increased during the pandemic. Healthy lifestyle habits were neglected by those professionals and the consumption of alcohol, tobacco and sugar increased. Females and professionals with fewer years of experience, lower educational qualifications or with less income earnings experienced higher levels of stress. Conclusions Due to the COVID-19 pandemic that has spread around the world, a mental health emergency is now considered. A large number of professionals work in jobs that are already considered to generate high levels of stress. Healthcare workers are an indisputable example. During a pandemic, they often have to work longer and stay for continuous shifts, in addition to the recommended hours. Health professionals presented themselves as a population with high levels of stress in a pandemic context, so the great majority of them mention the importance of having psychological support available. Through the identification of which individual and organizational variables predispose healthcare workers to higher levels of occupational stress during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is possible to plan and develop strategies that mitigate or eliminate the effects caused, providing an improvement in the quality of work life. The articulation between the occupational health and psychology services of the institutions is highlighted.

Aim: To demonstrate a clinical case of a patient with diabetes mellitus secondary to chronic pancreatitis, who needs not only compensation for carbohydrate metabolism, but also correction of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Key points. The patient noted a significant improvement in well-being against the background of adequate hypoglycemic therapy (nighttime metformin, sodium-glucose co-transporter type 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, basal insulin glargine) and enzyme-replacement therapy with pancreatin minimicrospheres at a dose of 50,000 IU on main meals and up to 25,000 ED at snacks. When evaluating the glycemic profile of continuous glucose monitoring showed stabilization of blood glucose at the target range. According to the results of laboratory tests, the patient showed not only normalization of carbohydrate metabolism, but also an initially reduced level of total protein, vitamins and minerals. Conclusion. Administration of drugs used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus for the management of patients with diabetes secondary to chronic pancreatitis is justified. At the same time, the addition of insulin is often necessary. For this group of patients, the enzyme replacement therapy of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is as important for the correction of metabolic disorders as the usual hypoglycemic therapy. Keywords: pancreatogenic diabetes mellitus, chronic pancreatitis, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
In-between Calvinism and Islam: Ali Bey's Transcultural Translation of the Bible into Turkish in the Time of Confessionalization
Authors: Ayşen Kaim Agnieszka
Published: August 2023

Albertus Bobovius/Ali Ufkî Bey was a typical go-between of his time, a learned translator and convert who benefited from his double religious sensitivity. As a consequence, he was able to create a transcultural translation of the Bible in the 17th century. This paper brings context to these aspects of his life. Ali Ufkî Bey created his works on religion during a time of intensive confessionalization, when Istanbul was a hub for many political interests with various religious and cultural options intersecting in the Ottoman capital. The project of translating the Bible to the national languages of Islam was carried out according to the vision of an alliance between Islam and reformed Christian groups, supporting the thesis of Calvino-Turkism, promoted by John Amos Comenius. As oriental scholars were lacking sufficient command of Turkish, they had to commission highly qualified go-betweens. There were two competing plans: Dutch Calvinist and Anglican. Bobovius was a part of the Dutch plan, along with Yahya Bin Ishak, a Jewish dragoman. The strategies of translation chosen by Bobovius were very modern according to the present knowledge of the art of translation, but in his era, there were difficulties in choosing the right language register and the right religious imagery to find proper equivalents. Underestimated by his contemporaries, Bobovius was rehabilitated by today’s linguists, and his “Turkish Bible” is still in use today. The text does not contest the religious identity of the author of this translation of the Bible but presents the hybridity of this figure against the background of the wider historical and confessional context of 17th-century Istanbul. It also provides examples of Bobovius’s translation choices and an initial interpretation of his methodology of timeless transcultural translation, from the perspective of contemporary translation theories. In the light of contemporary transcultural studies, present-day scholarship may treat Ali Ufkî as a transcultural agent and a gifted go-between.

Authors: Sharma Shobhana
Published: August 2023

The drug trafficking problem in Rajasthan is quite common as Rajasthan is the largest state in India, and many international and interstate borders surround it. Illicit traffickers can add unlimited diluents and adulterants to heroin. Only 5% or less than that alkaloid is present; the rest is of diluents and adulterants. Adulterants can associate with a significant risk of overdose, which may lead to death due to severe poisoning. Thus, the purity of drugs may vary, and the presence and percentage of diluents and adulterants depend on the region. The present article aims to identify and separate diluents and adulterants from diacetylmorphine drug samples. The illicit drug samples were deposited for investigations in the narcotics division of the state forensic science laboratory, Jaipur. During studies, sophisticated instruments like GCMS confirmed the preliminary results obtained from TLC and color tests. The variety and quantity of adulterants and diluents differ in all the samples, but the pattern is similar. The extensive and widespread cutting agent of illicit drugs used to analyze these drug samples.

Sengon wood (Paraserianthes falcataria) is widely used in the sawmill industry. It produces waste that has not received proper handling, furthermore, innovations are needed to solve this problem, as an example as a precursor for catalyst material. This study aimed to synthesize and characterize a Co/activated carbon as a catalyst for LDPE pyrolysis. The method used is the carbonization and activation of sengon wood at 400°C and 800°C using steam, respectively. Carbon was then impregnated with 5% Co(NO3)2·6H2O. Catalyst evaluation was carried out through proximate analysis, benzene adsorption, iodine number, methylene blue adsorption, and catalyst acidity. Functional group content, morphology, crystal phase, and surface area were analyzed using FTIR, SEM-EDX, XRD, and SAA. For application, the ratio of feed: catalyst is 1:1;1:5; and 1:10. The results showed that the quality of activated carbon was 90% close to Indonesian National Standard quality. The catalyst acidity was 10,555 mmol/g with a metal crystal size of 0.56nm. Surface morphology had opened pores with the pore size, pore volume, and surface area of 2.69 nm, 0.263 cm3 /g, and 329.99 m2 /g respectively. LDPE cracking using a catalyst resulted in aliphatic, aromatic, and alicyclic hydrocarbon products of 48.86, 15.26, and 12.55%. Co/activated carbon catalyst has an excellent prospect for use as an LDPE cracking catalyst as a green chemical application.

Published: August 2023

Background: Anti-RA33 antibodies and anti-CCP antibodies are highly specific markers for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but are not detectable in all RA patients.
Anti-RA33 antibodies are directed to the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2 (hnRNP-A2),while anti-CCP antibodies are directed to modified epitope on proteins that undergo conversion of amino acid arginine to citrullin by citrullination.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to show the correlation between anti-RA33 antibodies, anti-CCP antibodies and rheumatoid factor (RF) in terms of sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis in Iraqi patients.
Subjects and methods: This study was conducted in the period between December 2010 and April 2011 on 70 subjects. Forty five (45) of them were diagnosed as established RA patients and they were on treatment (the patients group) who were attending the rheumatology out patients clinic or admitted to Baghdad teaching hospital ,and twenty five (25) subjects were healthy(the control group). From each subject 5mls of venous blood was aspirated and centrifuged to separate the serum. The sera were stored at -20C and tested for anti-RA33 antibodies, anti-CCP antibodies, and RF (IgM) antibodies using enzyme linked Immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit.Statistical analysis in this study was done according to spss version 7.
Results: There were thirty eight (38) seropositive (RF positive) patients (84.4%) and seven (7) seronegative (RF negative) patients (15.6%),with thirty(30) (66.6%) patients were anti-CCP antibodies positive and fifteen (15) (33.4%) patients anti-CCP antibodies negative, while there were twenty five(25)(55.6%) patients anti-RA33 antibodies positive and (20)(44.4%) patients were anti-RA33 antibodies negative.
Conclusion: Anti-CCP antibodies have the highest specificity and rheumatoid factor has the highest sensitivity than anti-RA33 antibodies, but anti-RA33 antibodies are helpful in patients who are anti-CCP negative and RF negative.

Background: Genital mycoplasma are implicated in pelvic inflammatory disease, puerperal infection, septic abortion, low birth weight, nongonococcal urethritis and prostatitis as well as spontaneous abortion and infertility in women.
Objective: We aimed to find a relationship between repeated abortions of unknown etiology and caused of Mycoplasma hominis and\or Ureplasma urealyticum.
Methods: one hundred sixty cases, (15-49 years old) with history of recurrent abortion, intrauterine fetal death and\or neonatal death (after exclusion of other factors as cause abortion), and hundred women with normal pregnancy outcome with the same age were chosen as controls. M. homini and U. urealyticum  were detected in blood by PCR.
Result: M. homini  could be detected in 12\160 (7.5%) in women with pregnancy losses, but was not detected in control group. U. urealyticum could be detected in 64\160 (40%) in patient group and 4\100 (4%) in control group. The rapid detection of M. homini  and\or  U. urealyticum by PCR in pregnancy loss women could be important and necessary. The detection rate of M. homini  and\or  U. urealyticum in young women age (20-29 years) was higher than the others. Significant difference was observed in patients with three or four abortions compare with 2 or one abortion in addition to history of adverse outcome.
Conclusion: the role M. homini  and\or  U. urealyticum  in the etiology of pregnancy losses was proposed.

En el 2020 el coronavirus generó caos en las sociedades alrededor mundo. Mediante la incrementación de casos de personas infectadas con el virus, los gobiernos tomaron medidas que tarde o temprano, llevaron a realizar cuarentena obligatoria, así como también la educación a distancia, el uso de barbijos al salir a la calle, la distancia social y la comunicación virtual. En su momento, estas medidas fueron de emergencia sanitaria para resguardar a la población, evitar el incremento de contagios y a la vez, evitar un colapso del sistema sanitario, sin embargo, estas han influido negativamente en la socialización de los adolescentes durante la pandemia. Ahora bien, en el presente artículo se busca desarrollar y analizar dos variables: el bienestar psicológico y la resiliencia en tiempos de pandemia especialmente de adolescentes. Este artículo se ha realizado  una vez pasado el contexto de pandemia, ya que resulta relevante preguntarse cómo estas medidas implementadas, como así también el momento crítico en el que se encontraba cada país, influía en la salud mental de los adolescentes. Se puede concluir que la pandemia por COVID-19 ha dejado secuelas importantes a nivel psicológico, las cuales actualmente son parte del trabajo de los profesionales de la salud mental.
(Re)Tracing the Radical Poetics and Vision of Guru Nanak: A Socio-Political Perspective
Authors: Bose Aparna Lanjewar
Published: August 2023

Todo el panorama de las prácticas religiosas del norte de la India experimentó un cambio radical en los siglos XV y XVI con poetas santos de Nirgun como Kabir y Guru Nanak. Nanak invariablemente se convirtió en una de las principales voces de su época cuya visión modernista se puede visualizar a través de su poética. Su cosmovisión igualitaria lo ha hecho popular entre todos los sectores de la sociedad. Eligiendo un idioma lingüístico de masas, refutó el valor consagrado otorgado a las escrituras, invalidó muchas nociones predominantes de Karma Kand (rituales védicos) y su enfoque hegemónico y mostró un camino revolucionario hacia la devoción. Su Japji sahib es un modelo cultural de pluralidad coexistente resistente al autoritarismo rígido e implica un misticismo democratizado. Es una filosofía única que desmantela a los defensores regresivos de ideologías represivas. Sus Shabads y Gurbani en el Guru Granth Sahib son poéticas de la pluralidad que ofrecen un modelo alternativo de apertura y multidimensionalidad. Con reminiscencias del estilo de los románticos ingleses, en Nanak, lo mundano y común se eleva a un significado más amplio en su poesía. La racionalidad, la igualdad y la ideología liberal predicadas y plasmadas en su poética se oponen rotundamente a la irracionalidad, la desigualdad y la ortodoxia predominantes. El fundamento importante de la filosofía de Nanak es la libertad psicológica que otorga a los despreciados y desposeídos por su casta, clase y género. Va más allá de los límites de la comunidad, la religión, el idioma, la cultura y la nación. La filosofía consecuente de liberación holística se vuelve más relevante en un ethos indio multilingüe, multicultural y multirreligioso actual. Por lo tanto, este artículo explorará el potencial radical y emancipador de la poética de Guru Nanak, su relevancia contemporánea en una época de polarizaciones religiosas, intolerancia y división; Además, explora cómo los paradigmas pluralistas de la visión y la poética de Guru Nanak se convierten en una panacea para las invasiones en curso de las creencias democráticas seculares.
Vaccination campaigns against Covid-19 may promote vaccine hesitancy toward well-established, safe, and effective vaccines
Authors: Missoni Eduardo , Sen Kasturi
Published: August 2023

The use of thorough clinical trials, open scientific debate and the building of trust in public institutions have been key factors in the acceptance of vaccines in the past. The Covid-19 vaccination programmes were Implemented under emergency legislation, limiting safety assessments and traditional vaccine protocols. Transparency and potential conflicts of interest were an issue, with serious side effects neglected. This has fed public distrust nurturing vaccine hesitancy. Studies on the possible relations between Covid-19 vaccines and an increase in all-cause mortality rates have not merited official concern. This Opinion argues that in order to negate a growing public perception of a causal relationship between Covid-19 vaccinations and serious adverse effects, raw data should be released further research promoted, and open debate permitted without exclusion.

Oxidative stress occurs as a result of an increase in oxidants and/or a reduction of antioxidants in the body, causing oxidation of cellular constituents and cellular dysfunction, which can lead to premature cell death. This study aimed to evaluate serum and red blood cell (RBC) oxidative stress in dogs with acanthocytosis. Sixteen dogs with acanthocytosis confirmed on blood smear, regardless of the associated pathological condition, and 17 healthy dogs without clinical and laboratorial alterations were selected. Complete blood counts (CBC) were performed by an automated cell counter, biochemical and oxidative stress analyzes were performed by an automated photocolorimeter. Dogs with acanthocytosis showed lower RBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and higher red cell distribution width (RDW) compared with healthy dogs. On the leukogram, higher concentrations of band neutrophils and lower numbers of lymphocytes were observed in dogs with acanthocytosis. On serum biochemical parameters, a significant increase in ALP activity, cholesterol and globulin levels, and decreased albumin concentration were observed in dogs with acanthocytosis. Regarding oxidative stress parameters, dogs with acanthocytosis showed lower serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC) by cupric reduction (TAC-CUPRAC) and higher TAC by ferric reduction (TAC-FRAP), total oxidant capacity (TOC) and lipid peroxidation, while RBC showed higher TAC by ABTS cation reduction alone (TAC-ABTS) and associated with peroxidase (TAC-ABTS+HRP), TAC-CUPRAC, TOC and lipid peroxidation compared with those of control dogs. Dogs with acanthocytosis demonstrate serum and erythrocyte oxidative stress, which may be one of the factors involved in erythrocyte damage.

The Solution for Girls with No Sex Appeal: The Ironized Yeast – A Multi Modal Discourse Analysis of Vintage Advertisements
Authors: Linares Flores Martha Patricia
Published: August 2023

This paper presents a discourse analysis of three vintage advertisements for Ironized Yeast using Multi Modal Discourse Analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis. Drawing on the concept of erotic capital by Hakim (2011), the study explores how these advertisements exploit women’s insecurities about their body shape while offering a solution that goes beyond physical attractiveness. The analysis reveals that the advertisements promote the idea that women can leverage their erotic capital to enhance their sex appeal, thereby increasing their chances of success in the dating and marriage market. This research examines the construction and perpetuation of the seductive power associated with a curvy figure. The findings highlight the intricate interplay between discourses of attractiveness, power dynamics, and societal expectations, urging critical reflection on the influence of such representations on individuals and broader social dynamics.

Background: Mothers of preterm neonates are more concerned about their babies’ health than other mothers, which causes them to be worried and anxious. Meanwhile, the possibility of catching COVID-19 may increase their worries and anxiety and negatively affect their parenting roles. This study aims to determine the relationship between maternal fear and anxiety about COVID-19 and maternal role attainment in Iranian mothers with preterm neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Methods: This descriptive correlational study was conducted from June to July 2021 in 3 level-III NICUs in Tehran, Iran. The study samples were 211 mothers of preterm neonates who were recruited by convenience sampling. The study data were collected using a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Coronavirus anxiety scale, the fear of COVID-19 scale, and the maternal role adaptation scale in NICUs. The obtained data were analyzed utilizing the independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, and the Pearson correlation coefficient in SPSS software, version 23. P<0.05 was considered significant. Results: The mean scores of anxiety, fear, and maternal role attainment were 11.44±3.19, 26.49±5.92, and 57.61±11.95, respectively. There were weak, positive, and significant relationships between anxiety and fear (r=0.385, P<0.001), anxiety and maternal role attainment (r=0.213, P=0.002), and some dimensions: Participation in care, distant mothering, interaction, and growth and development (P<0.05). There were also weak, positive, and significant relationships between fear and maternal role attainment (r=0.204, P=0.003) and some dimensions: Participation in care and growth and development (P<0.05). Conclusion: Considering the relationship between the fear and anxiety of COVID-19 with maternal role attainment and the special importance of this issue in NICUs, evaluating the mental health of mothers with preterm neonates and implementing effective psychological interventions to support them is recommended.

Background: Nurses, more than all other healthcare industry members, are at the forefront of the crisis in the event of sudden pandemics. This study aimed to determine the factors contributing to the resilience of Iranian nurses during the pandemic. Methods: In this cross-sectional web-based survey, the Google forms platform was used to distribute an online Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC) to 1025 nurses. The study data were collected in November 2020 via Iranian nurses’ social networks in hospitals nationwide. Using SPSS software, version 22 and multivariate linear regression, the data were evaluated. The significance level was set as less than 5%. Results: The nurses’ mean total resilience score was 68.95±12.76. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age (β=0.242, P=0.004), gender (β=-0.061, P=0.046), role (β=0.193, P<0.001), and getting COVID-19 (β=-0.061, P=0.046) are predictors of nurses’ resilience status. Other personal and occupational characteristics were not influential. Conclusion: The resilience of nurses employed in hospitals across the country appears to be higher than that of the general population. Female, young nurses, and those infected with COVID-19 were at a greater risk. The existence of facilities, improvement of working conditions, and provision of sufficient human resources help maintain nurses’ mental health during the pandemic. Longitudinal studies are recommended to evaluate the duration of this level of resilience and its impact on the long-term mental well-being of nurses in the coming months and years.

Low back pain occurs because of the degeneration in Intervertebral Disc (IVD) namely: Disc Desiccation, Disc Bulge, and Disc Herniation, etc. To detect disc degeneration, a doctor often physically evaluates the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which takes time and is dependent on the doctor’s expertise and training. Degeneration diagnosis that is automated can ease some of the doctor’s workload. On 378 IVDs for 63 patients, the proposed method is trained, tested, and assessed. According to the performance evaluation, the proposed Local Sub-Rhombus Binary Relationship (LS-RBRP) and Random Forrest (RF) classifier approach gives an overall accuracy of 90.2%. The proposed approach also produces a higher sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F-score of 80.8%, 90.3%, 90.4%, and 84.5%, respectively, when diagnosing the normal IVD, disc desiccation, and disc bulge in the lumbar MRI.
Citopatologia por Punção Aspirativa com Agulha Fina no Fibroadenoma de Mama. Estudo de 88 Casos
Authors: Alves Elizabeth de Carvalho , Arcuri Roberto Alfonso
Published: August 2023

A proposta dos autores é mostrar a importância da citopatologia no diagnóstico pré-operatório do fibroadenoma de mama. Utilizando a técnica de Zajicek, foram obtidos esfregaços por punção de 88 lesões, a partir de peças cirúrgicas ou diretamente em pacientes. Os esfregaços, corados pela técnica de Shorr modificada foram estudados em correlação com as lâminas de histopatologia. É avaliada a grande celularidade obtida e os grupamentos de células epiteliais são caracterizados: em colméia ou massas com projeções digitiformes em bordas rombas onde predominam as células superficiais; em "paliçada", quando predominam as células ductais profundas. Comenta-se a presença de núcleos nus e discutem-se as descrições na literatura dos chamados núcleos bipolares, aventando-se a possibilidade de corresponderem a núcleos de células epiteliais degeneradas. Identificam-se "foam cells" e células de metaplasia apócrina e salienta-se que as células do estroma surgem isoladamente na forma de fibroblastos, freqüentemente bem identificados e que os grupamentos celulares do estroma são vistos mais raramente. Referem ainda os AA a presença de plasmócitos e células "semelhantes aos linfócitos", assim chamando às últimas por acreditarem que sejam células degeneradas. Após colocação e discussão dos critérios citopatológicos, mostram os AA que é possível diagnosticar a neoplasia mamária por este método, ressaltando a importância daquela, dada a sua alta incidência.

Published: August 2023

У статті є досліджено застосування сучасних інструментів інтелектуального аналізу даних в оцінюванні ефективності функціонування системи внутрішнього контролю. Доведено, що аналіз бізнес-процесів та оцінювання ефективності заходів контролю суб’єкта господарювання аудитором традиційними методами, в умовах коли трансакції в комп’ютерних системах обробляються в автоматичному режимі, має обмежене застосування, подолати яке можна застосовуючи інструменти інтелектуального аналізу процесів. Запропоновано здійснювати тестування в аудиті кредиторської заборгованості таких заходів контролю як: авторизація, розподіл обов’язків, зіставлення приходних документів із рахунками-фактурами, для забезпечення достовірності таких тверджень як: існування, повнота, права і обов'язки, точність, оцінка та розподіл, класифікація, своєчасність, подання та розкриття інформації. Окреслено умови застосування в аудиті інструментів Process Mining, а також охарактеризовано проблеми щодо їх застосування в аудиторській діяльності. Визнано необхідність набуття здобувачами професії бухгалтера чи аудитора компетенцій оволодіння навичками використання інструментів Data Analysis.
