Published: November 2024

A Alopecia Areata (AA) é uma doença autoimune crônica que causa perda de cabelo, tem manifestações clínicas variáveis e afeta cerca de 2,1% da população mundial e é responsável por 1,2% dos atendimentos dermatológicos no Brasil. O estudo analisou as produções científicas acerca das técnicas de Microneedling (MN) e Drug Delivery no tratamento de AA resistente e não-resistente e comparou seus resultados quando realizados como terapia principal ou adjuvante. O estudo foi desenvolfida através de uma Revisão Integrativa de Literatura (RIL), com abordagem qualitativa e exploratória. A pesquisa foi realizada nas bases de dados PubMed, Cochrane Library e Scielo, com descritores controlados para identificar artigos publicados entre 2014 e 2024. Os resultados indicam que, com relação a AA não-resistente: a técnica de MN, quando realizada isoladamente, é eficaz, sendo mais efetiva quando associada a fármacos como minoxidil 5%, Bimatoprosta, acetonido de triancinolona (TAC) tópico, plasma rico em plaquetas (PRP) ou vitamina D3. Quanto as técnicas de Drug Delivery: Kenalog (ILK) (corticoide intralesional) se mostrou menos eficaz que MN isolado. MN com TAC tópico se mostrou mais eficaz que Laser de CO2. MN isolado parece ser mais eficaz que MN com Dimetil Éter e Propano (DMEP). Com relação a AA resistente: MN com TAC tópico se mostrou mais eficaz que MN isolado. Laser de CO2 associado com TAC tópico parece ser mais eficaz que MN com TAC tópico. Dessa forma, se fazem necessários mais estudos com acompanhamento em longo prazo para maior construção de aplicabilidade clínica e evidências científicas acercas das técnicas abordadas.

A malária é uma doença infecciosa de enorme relevância na região sul amazônica, onde a interação entre fatores ambientais, socioeconômicos, culturais e estruturais favorece sua persistência e alta incidência, tornando o controle um desafio contínuo. A transmissão intensa é facilitada pela presença de vetores, condições climáticas favoráveis e dificuldades na implementação de medidas preventivas consistentes, especialmente em áreas de difícil acesso. Este artigo oferece uma análise abrangente e minuciosa dos casos de malária na região, destacando não apenas as complexidades envolvidas no diagnóstico e tratamento, mas também as dificuldades enfrentadas pela população para acessar cuidados médicos adequados e oportunos. As barreiras incluem desde a insuficiência de infraestrutura de saúde e a falta de profissionais especializados até os desafios logísticos, como a distribuição de medicamentos e insumos em áreas remotas. Além de abordar essas dificuldades, o artigo revisita a história da malária na Amazônia, explorando como a doença evoluiu na região ao longo dos anos e os impactos causados em diferentes comunidades. A fisiopatologia da doença é discutida em profundidade, considerando aspectos clínicos e imunológicos que influenciam a gravidade dos casos, como a suscetibilidade diferencial a Plasmodium falciparum e Plasmodium vivax. A discussão inclui, ainda, a análise de dados epidemiológicos atuais e estudos de caso que exemplificam as dificuldades encontradas no manejo clínico e na prevenção da doença. Por fim, o artigo propõe estratégias para melhorar a resposta de saúde pública, sugerindo intervenções que considerem não apenas a distribuição geográfica dos surtos, mas também os fatores sociais e culturais que dificultam a adesão às políticas preventivas. Entre as sugestões, destacam-se a ampliação do acesso à testagem rápida, o fortalecimento da vigilância epidemiológica, campanhas educativas e a capacitação de agentes comunitários de saúde para atuar diretamente junto às populações mais vulneráveis. Com essa abordagem integrada, o objetivo é traçar um caminho viável e eficiente para a redução da carga da malária na Amazônia, contribuindo para a melhoria da qualidade de vida das comunidades locais e para o desenvolvimento sustentável da região.

Published: November 2024

The field experiment was carried out during winter (rabi) season of 2020–21 at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi to study the effect of tillage methods and nitrogen management practices on soil mineral nitrogen and grain protein and yield of wheat in rice- wheat system. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design (SPD), where the main plots included 4 different crop establishment methods, and the sub-plots tested 4 nitrogen management strategies that were replicated thrice. The results showed that, residue retention in zero tillage recorded significantly (P<0.05) higher soil mineral nitrogen, protein content in grain (12.6%) and grain yield (4.99 t/ha) over other treatments. Similar results also recorded under different nitrogen management practices, where leaf colour chart (LCC)-guided N application has significantly (P<0.05) higher soil mineral nitrogen, grain protein content (12.9%) and grain yield (5.39 t/ha) over remaining treatments. The LCC-guided N application in residue retained (3 t/ha) ZT practices can be recommended in wheat under rice- wheat system for higher soil mineral nitrogen availability, improving grain protein content and productivity.

Authors: R SANTHOSH BABU , M JOSEPH , M HEMALATHA , J BHUVANESWARI , S SRINIVASAN , D LENINRAJA
Published: November 2024

Nanotechnology offers a promising solution to address the nutrient demands of cereals, which are nutrient-intensive crops typically reliant on large amounts of inorganic fertilizers. These large quantities of nutrients are supplied to the crop by applying a huge amount of inorganic fertilizer as a soil application led to a decline in environmental systems, particularly affecting the soil health, lesser use efficiency of fertilizers and water resources contamination. In this context, nanotechnology serves as a potential solution. The huge demand for nutrients in cereal crops is met by nano-fertilizers. The nano-fertilizers are now playing a promising role in fulfilling the nutrient requirement of the crops by replacing the normal conventional fertilizers not only for cereals but also for other agricultural crops. The mechanism of action of nano-fertilizers is that they are smaller than the pore size of plant cell walls, allowing them to easily enter and reach the plasma membrane. Nano-fertilizers have 100 times greater surface area than conventional fertilizers, allowing them to easily interact with plant surfaces and increase the absorption of nutrients. Therefore, the nutrient-use efficiency of the crop is increased and shown a positive effect on the physiological and growth parameters of cereal crops, resulting in enhanced yield and improved drought tolerance. This review discussed, the effects and efficiency of nano-fertilizers on cereal crop growth and the correlation between physiological, qualitative, quantitative traits with nano-form of application in detailed manner. This review concludes that nano-fertilizers are the potential nutrient source for cereal crops like rice (Oryza sativa L.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), maize (Zea mays) etc. and they are going to be a promising resource for nutrient management in agricultural crops.

Published: November 2024

Managing consumer expectations was essential to maintaining customer satisfaction throughout the electricity contract. However, the service provided to customers was based on the location of electrical meters. In the absence of addressing in rural areas, it was too difficult to ensure a comprehensive survey of electrical meter indexes and intervene in time for troubleshooting. The method adopted was the choice of a site with a significant number of meters and energy transformers and the geolocation of electrical installations by a GPS that allowed the assignment of a universal address to electrical installations and facilitated the location of facilities for maintenance and emergency response. The study of optimization algorithms has directed the choice toward the algorithm of the nearest neighbor that remains fast and aims to other algorithms whose number of iterations can be exponential (n! iterations) but less exact. The integration of route optimization algorithms has improved the reactivity of technicians, reduced operational costs, and ensured accurate reading of indexes and transparent billing. The study presents a specific case in Morocco, where route optimization based on GPS coordinates of électric meters in reading indexes has significantly improved efficiency and customer satisfaction. In addition, the K-Means method was used to determine the centroids and clusters that represent respectively the transformation stations and the groups of electrical meters. These groupings allow the calculation of energy sales by transformer station to increase them by reducing energy losses

Single-cell Trajectories and Pseudo-time Analysis Reveal Additional Insights into Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease Progression
Authors: Ahn Michelle Jinseo
Published: November 2024

As the chicken embryo grows, its increasing metabolic demand drives the development of the cardiovascular system, enabling efficient nutrient delivery through complex molecular and structural formation. Key extracellular matrix (ECM) components, such as hyaluronic acid (HA) and collagen type I alpha 1 (COL1A1), play a crucial role in shaping the biomechanical environment of the heart, particularly the sinoatrial node (SAN). These ECM elements regulate cell adhesion, migration, and the maturation of cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs), essential for the heart's electrical conductivity and rhythmicity. Based on the hypothesis that ECM mechanical properties influence the spatial patterning of conduction-related genes, we analyzed spatial transcriptomics data from chicken hearts at different developmental stages. Collagen-related genes associated with a sturdy ECM showed an increasing trend over time, while soft ECM-related genes responsible for producing proteoglycans and breaking down collagen decreased. Although conduction-related genes did not fully align with ECM trends, intriguing patterns were observed, pointing to potential interactions between ECM remodeling and the construction of the cardiac conduction system. Our findings suggest significant ECM r7emodeling between days 4 and 7, which may influence the heart's structural and functional development.

The Aesthetics of The Funereal in Greek Tragedy and Medieval Dances: An Antecedent of The Sinister
Authors: Roldán López Carlos
Published: November 2024

The relationship between aesthetics and death has been as frequent as it has been complex. On the one hand, it is inevitable to account for all the representations of death linked to a previous theological scheme, of which art itself would be a reflection. Here we would have everything related to the care of death, concretised in the sepulchral sculptures that remind human beings of an ultraterrestrial destiny. In this sense, we have from the pyramids of Egypt to the stately pantheons of Pere Lecheise. On the other hand, nineteenth-century sturm and drung came to conceive of death as an incentive to life and an entity with a life of its own that is addressed precisely to the living, so that art came to show us a living figure, sometimes of great beauty, sometimes with a markedly macabre aesthetic that would come, in any case, to provoke reflection in the subject. From the macabre we would move on to the sinister understood as a Kantian judgement of taste. A judgement of taste on the sinister, a category understood as a bridge between the sublime and the macabre, from which a whole set of possibilities can be inferred: necromancy, necroeroticism. It is the possibility of eschatology to generate aesthetic pleasure for the contemplator. Death as an object of aesthetic contemplation.
Under Armour: Revenue Pull Forwards and Disclosure Failures
Authors: Baranek Dr. Devon
Published: November 2024

This case examines a recent SEC settlement with Under Armour, a public company traded on the NYSE, that was charged with misleading investors and failing to disclosure uncertainties relating to its reported revenues. Under Amour was not able to meet analysts’ sales projections for several consecutive quarters in 2015 and 2016 and resorted to “pulling forward” revenue from future periods in order to meet these estimates. More than $408 million was pulled forward, and during this time Under Armour continued to credit its growth to apparel, footwear and other new offerings. The case was settled in May 2021 and Under Armour paid a $9 million penalty. The case spotlights several important accounting and ethics issues in the context of a real, multi-national company that most college students are familiar with. From an accounting perspective, the revenue pull forwards, manipulation of payment terms and omission of material facts in financial reporting are discussed. From an ethics perspective, a discussion is included on the timing of reporting “earned” revenue, the legality of inducing customers to accept early shipments and the difference between omitting information and misleading investors.
Barriers and Facilitators to Becoming a Medical Physicist in Bangladesh
Authors: Kanis Nayan Fatima , Dilshad Taskin , Egbunike Jennifer
Published: November 2024

The notion of gender equity is debatable, and worldwide health professionals are exploring the argument. However, the contextual situation and experience are different in each country and vary across cultures. There is an extensive amount of literature that presents women’s participation and involvement as increased in science, technology, engineering and mathematics over the last decades (Frize et al., 2022); however, there are variations in data and analyses documented which refer to the gender disparity of medical physicists (MPs) Worldwide (Barabino et al., 2020; Crowe and Kairn, 2016). Medical physics is one of the fields in health care where women are underrepresented, with only 29.8% of the workforce reported identifying as females in this sector (Tsapaki et al., 2018; Tsapaki and Rehani, 2015). Historically, the healthcare profession is male-dominated (Witz, 1990), with women being underrepresented in many specialist fields like academic medicine, surgical specialities and leadership positions (Kramer et al., 2021). The Nursing profession is, however, excluded from this category and considered a woman’s job. Furthermore, women’s contributions to the healthcare industry are not frequently acknowledged (Paradis et al., 2021). Moreover, the career trail for men and women in the healthcare profession is suggestively different (Baig, 2020). Broadly, regarding leadership positions and the range of decision-making, there are observable gender discrepancies in the industry. One of the main reasons for this is social restrictions, which women in specific geographic locations like Bangladesh encounter frequently. The lack of support or a platform for women to practice their profession with autonomy impedes their progress or movement upward in their careers. Women's unhindered involvement, participation and career development in patient care will improve healthcare provision, especially in caring for vulnerable patient groups like the elderly, individuals with significant co-morbidities, and minorities (Covington et al., 2020). In addition, involving more women in healthcare will not only reduce the gender disparity and empower them but also create a sense of confidence in the professions and services provided and, as a result, improve overall well-being. This study will aim to understand the views and experiences of gender-based discrimination among practising medical physicists in Bangladesh.
