BACKGROUND
Chest X-ray (CXR) interpretation is challenging for the diagnosis of paediatric TB. We assessed the performance of a three half-day CXR training module for healthcare workers (HCWs) at low healthcare levels in six high TB
incidence countries.

METHODS
Within the TB-Speed Decentralization Study, we developed a three half-day training course to identify normal CXR, CXR of good quality and identify six TB-suggestive features. We performed a pre–post
training assessment on a pre-defined set of 20 CXR readings. We compared the proportion of correctly interpreted CXRs and the median reading score before and after the training using the McNemar test and a linear mixed model.

RESULTS
Of
191 HCWs, 43 (23%) were physicians, 103 (54%) nurses, 18 (9.4%) radiology technicians and 12 (6.3%) other professionals. Of 2,840 CXRs with both assessment, respectively 1,843 (64.9%) and 2,277 (80.2%) were correctly interpreted during pre-training and post-training (P < 0.001).
The median reading score improved significantly from 13/20 to 16/20 after the training, after adjusting by country, facility and profession (adjusted β = 3.31, 95% CI 2.44–4.47).

CONCLUSION
Despite some limitations
of the course assessment that did not include abnormal non-TB suggestive CXR, study findings suggest that a short CXR training course could improve HCWs’ interpretation skills in diagnosing paediatric TB.

Les résultats des travaux antérieurs sur la caractérisation des cultivars locaux du carthame, suscite d’être approfondie pour une meilleure connaissance de ce patrimoine génétique. La présente étude a pour objectif de mettre en évidence la relation qui peut exister entre les caractéristiques de l’inflorescence (le capitule) et la production du plant en fonction de degré de ramification de la plante (primaire, secondaire ou tertiaire).

L’étude porte sur quatre cultivars locaux du carthame (Carthamus tinctorius L.) cultivés dans la région de l’Oued Righ située au sud-est algérien.

Le dispositif expérimental adopté est un bloc aléatoire complet à trois répétitions. Les résultats obtenus ont fait l’objet d’une analyse de variance (ANOVA), suivie d’une analyse de corrélation. En fonction des conditions pédoclimatiques de la région d’étude, les résultats obtenus démontrent que le type de ramification présente un effet marquant sur la production du plant chez les quatre cultivars locaux du carthame et les capitules issus de la ramification secondaire déterminent la production en grains du plant. L’analyse des corrélations a révélé que les relations de la production en grains du plant en fonction de type de ramification sont diverses et ceux relatives aux ramifications primaires et secondaires prédominent.

Canine status epilepticus is naturally occurring epilepsy in dogs, a life-threatening emergency needs to be treated immediately.  Prolonged episodes are known to cause damage in multiple areas of brain. For instantly stopping the seizure activity benzodiazepines are chosen as first-line therapy in dogs. The effectiveness of intravenous lorazepam has not yet been well established in veterinary patients. The purpose of the study was to find the seizure free interval in status epilepticus dogs when compared to diazepam. Twelve actively seizing dogs were randomly divided into two groups and administered with intravenous lorazepam @ 0.2mg.kg and diazepam @ 0.5 mg/kg. The parameters like physical parameters, seizure free period, level of consciousness and motor activity were analysed in both the groups. On evaluating the physical parameters there was a significant post ictal temperature when compare to control animals. There was a significant increase in seizure free period when compare to diazepam group. Lorazepam didn’t alter the level of consciousness and motor activity in treated dogs.    To conclude, lorazepam significantly increased the seizure free period when compared to diazepam in status epilepticus dogs.

Doppler ultrasound is a useful diagnostic tool to evaluate renal blood flow in canine chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aimed to describe and compare renal blood flow in different stages of CKD dogs based on the ultrasonographic appearance of kidneys. The study included one hundred and three dogs with CKD confirmed clinically, hematologically, biochemically and ultrasonographically. Ten healthy dogs with no haematological and ultrasonographic abnormalities of kidneys were also included in the study as a control group. Based on SDMA levels, the dogs with CKD were divided into four groups viz., Stage I (n=17), Stage II ( n=15), Stage III ( n=25) and Stage IV ( n=46). The Renal volume was measured with two-dimensional ultrasonography. All the dogs were subjected to pulsed-wave Doppler to obtain hemodynamic parameters such as resistance index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) which were significantly (P<0.05) higher in CKD stage III and IV dogs than in control. However, no significant difference was reported in RI and PI values in dogs with CKD Stages I and II (P>0.05). Hemodynamic parameters appear useful markers for understanding the pathological process and progression in dogs with CKD.

Published: February 2024

Extreme rarely reported mullerian cysts of the retroperitoneum are considered to be a subtype of urogenital cysts. Retroperitoneal cysts can be categorized into lymphatic cysts, mesothelial cysts, enteric cysts and urogenital cysts based on embryological origin and histogenesis. The present case is an rare encounter and the successful management of the same is herewith discussed. A twelve months old intact female domestic short hair cat was presented with a history of progressive abdominal distension, anorexia, lethargy and oliguria. On abdominal palpation, an extensive globular mass was palpable in the cranial abdomen a survey radiography of the abdomen and thorax revealed a soft tissue contour at the cranial abdomen at the left renal position, thoracic radiography revealed absence of any abnormalities.  Renal functional status was ascertained with intravenous pyelography which revealed unilateral cystic dysgenesis of left kidney and agenesis of left ureter. Hematobiochemical profiles and preoperative assessment were done to rule out general organ health. Following routine  and special diagnostic procedures, an exploratory laparotomy confirmed the cystic renal distension that was excised through an unilateral nephrectomy and the cat was observed on periodic reviews to confirm any abnormalities if any which was absent and the animal had an uneventful recovery,.

Brèves remarques sur les évolutions récentes de l’appréhension de la vie humaine par le droit
Authors: Mathieu Bertrand
Published: February 2024

Resumo Dans un laps de temps très court, environ une année, un certain nombre de décisions, de débats, de projets, ont dressé une cartographie pour le moins accidentée et incertaine de la manière dont la vie humaine est appréhendée par le droit. En la matière, il est difficile de déterminer si ces évolutions sont le reflet d’une demande sociale et si elles visent au contraire à bousculer l’ordre établi sous la pression d’une minorité agissante. Elles traduisent en tous cas une évolution d’une conception où la vie était un donné à protéger vers une conception où la vie devient tout à la fois l’objet des désirs individuels et l’instrument d’un projet visant à projeter l’humain dans un avenir dans lequel il serait le produit de l’ingéniosité humaine.

A importância do monitoramento da judicialização na promoção das políticas públicas relativas à saúde
Authors: Pessoa Flávia Moreira Guimarães
Published: February 2024

Resumo A saúde, no Brasil, é garantida constitucionalmente através do desenvolvimento de políticas econômicas e sociais que visam à redução dos riscos de agravos e doenças e ao acesso universal e igualitário às ações e serviços públicos de saúde. Embora exista definição acerca das responsabilidades dos entes na organização, execução e regulação dos serviços de saúde, nos últimos anos vem ocorrendo aumento da judicialização da saúde, fenômeno por meio do qual o Poder Judiciário é acionado para garantir direitos assegurados. Este estudo se propôs a caracterizar os processos novos judicializados entre janeiro de 2020 e janeiro de 2023 considerando a litigiosidade por assunto, a partir do painel de monitoramento da judicialização da saúde. Identificou-se maior número de processos no Direito da Saúde Pública, cujo pedido se refere ao fornecimento de Medicamentos e Tratamento Médico/Hospitalar. A integralidade da assistência à saúde, enquanto direito constitucional, ainda não está ao alcance de grande parte dos brasileiros e a judicialização pode representar a única forma de acesso. Por outro lado, pode significar a desestruturação de um sistema que já não consegue responder às demandas de saúde apresentadas pela população.

Published: February 2024

Alkyd resins' high film-forming capacity, excellent adhesion, and durability to a variety of environmental conditions have led to its major attention in the field of industrial coatings and paint applications. The purpose of this work is to present a thorough overview of the synthesis and characterization of alkyd resins for these particular uses. Thirty-eight (38) vegetable oils were reviewed from 2001 to 2023 whose data were derived from online sources, not excluding google scholar, ScienceDirect and Semantics scholar. Alkyd resins are made by reacting polyols (like glycerol or pentaerythritol) with dicarboxylic acids (like phthalic anhydride), then modifying the mixture with fatty acids or drying oils. The qualities of the resulting alkyd resins are significantly influenced by process variables, including catalysts, reaction conditions, and raw material selection. Numerous methods are used in the characterization of alkyd resins, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and thermal analysis (TGA/DSC).

These methods offer important insights into the alkyd resins' molecular weight distribution, thermal stability, and chemical structure. Gaining knowledge about the synthesis and characterization of alkyd resins helps to optimize their formulation for use in paint and industrial coatings, improving their performance and durability.

This study aims to evaluate the reproductive performance of Nilem fish (Osteochilus hasselti) through artificial spawning methods. Spawning was conducted in glass aquaria using the sGnRH-a hormone on both male and female broodstocks. Egg production, fertilization rate (FR), hatching rate (HR), and survival rate (SR) were the main observed parameters. The research results revealed that the average egg production per female broodstock reached 25,350, indicating a high level of fecundity. The fertilization rate reached 97.70%, indicating an effective egg fertilization process. The hatching rate (HR) value of 92.20% indicates success in the egg-hatching process. Larval survival rate (SR) during the 4-day rearing period reached 84.70%. Maintaining optimal water quality also contributed to the success of artificial spawning. In conclusion, artificial spawning in Nilem fish could achieve high levels of success by optimizing reproductive parameters and considering environmental factors. This study provides valuable insights into the sustainable development of Nilem fish cultivation.

In India, the culture of murrels is still not common due to the lack of seed supply and knowledge of their feeding and breeding techniques. Given this, the present study is undertaken to culture this species and work out is economics as this is a prized fresh water fish Channa striatus. The seeds of C. striatus were collected from local breeders of the Kumbagonam area, Tamil Nadu, India. Seedlings were introduced into the two culture ponds separately. The stocking density was 400 numbers/tank. While in pond-1, the size of the fingerlings varied between 5-7 cm (ave. 6 cm) in pond-II, the size of the fingerlings varied between 10 and 12 cm (ave. 11 cm). The feed that was given to fish in both tanks consisted of chicken waste and fish waste which was obtained free of cost from the neighboring market and artificial feed (Make: Super enriched protein feed). The feed were given at the rate of 4% of the body weight. The results of monoculture of murrels for a period of six months was maintained. As evident from the table from an average individual weight of 400 to 510 g after a period of six months grew to an average weight of 350.3 g thus recording an average increase in weight of 60 g.

The learning process is still teacher-centered, resulting in students being less active during learning. This research aims to increase the influence of the Problem-Based Learning model on students' critical thinking abilities in mechanical wave material. This quasi-experimental research uses a non-equivalent control group design. The research population included all students in class XI MIPA at one of the State High Schools in East Praya. Sampling used a purposive sampling technique so that 2 groups were obtained, namely 30 experimental class students and 30 control class students. The experimental class was given treatment in the form of using the Problem-Based Learning model, while the control class used the conventional model. Students' critical thinking abilities are obtained from the description questions they work on. Data from the pretest results of experimental class students obtained an average score of 25 and control class students obtained an average score of 23. The posttest scores showed that the critical thinking abilities of experimental class students were in the good category with an average score of 78.6 and the students in the control class were in the good category with an average score of 74.3. The research hypothesis was tested using the polled variance t-test at a significance level of 5%. Data analysis shows that the tcount value, namely 3.384, is greater than ttable, namely 2.002, which means that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, so it can be concluded that there is an influence of the Problem-Based Learning model on students' critical thinking abilities in mechanical wave material.

Dyslexia is a complex learning disorder that affects neurological nerves in the brain and makes reading and writing difficult; therefore, early diagnosis for effective interventions becomes important. This study demonstrates how quickly dyslexia can be identified by introducing an advanced convolutional neural network model developed for detecting dyslexia through image-based handwriting analysis. The need for early identification is informed by the fact that dyslexia may, in certain cases, lead to poor academic performance and emotional imbalance among learners. This method of using deep learning outperforms all other established conventional methods due to inherent sensitivity in classifying handwritings of dyslexics from those of normal individuals. The artificial intelligence (AI)-supported technology has the highest training accuracy of 99.5% proving its ability to capture subtle features related to the presence of dyslexic tendencies. Consequently, it records a testing accuracy of 96.4%, thereby confirming its efficacy under practical circumstances. In addition, the model also shows a good F1-score of 96 which indicates that it can achieve a balanced precision versus recall trade-off unlike other state-of-the-art approaches. The obtained results of the proposed methodology were compared with those of previous state–of-the-art approaches, and it has been observed that the proposed study provides better outcomes. These detailed performance indicators point toward the potential usefulness of AI-based methods in identifying dyslexia thus informing appropriate interventions on time and targeted assistance to the patients suffering from this disease.

The solution of table vinegar with a concentration of 8% was the most effective in reducing formalin levels in Salted Sepat Fish.
Vom Aufbau einer Welt
Authors: Jakumeit Michael
Published: February 2024

As one of the most important late Romantic composers and at the same time a pioneer of modernism, Gustav Mahler's symphonies combine a multitude of very different characters and stylistic features. In view of the outward heterogeneity of the musical means, a widespread thesis is that his compositional style resists systematisation, that his music can at best be approached "micrologically". Michael Jakumeit takes the opposite position in this work. Based on a dictum by Theodor W. Adorno, he adopts a "macrological" perspective. He does not content himself with looking at individual cases, but relates every detail to the whole in a dialectical movement. With the help of meticulous detailed analysis with a carefully calibrated analytical instrument, he succeeds in elaborating and systematising Mahler's general compositional strategies. For when Mahler speaks of "building a world" with musical means, he is aiming not only for variety but also for constructive coherence. Jakumeit chooses the first movements of the first three symphonies as his object of study with good reason, for the first movement of the Third Symphony marks, even in the context of Mahler's own work, a high point in epic breadth. It is a structure that only truly macrological thinking is capable of creating.
Arbeit, Freizeit, Lohnprotest

Published: February 2024

No other area of our lives consumes as much time as work. How much working time is 'normal' or 'acceptable' has become a highly political debate. But organised protest has always been at the centre of this debate. But what role has non-organised protest played? And what conclusions can be drawn from the forms of proletarian protest about the characteristics of the proletarian culture of life? Dennis A. Heiter examines the unorganised forms of protest used by the working class and how working-class culture differs from other forms of social culture. Based on his analysis of the workers' struggle, he draws up a new cultural and social-historical picture of the worker and the labour movement.
