Authors: Seaquist Elizabeth , Giménez Marga , Yan Yu , Matsuhisa Munehide , Kao Christi Yuting , Wadwa R Paul , Nagai Yukiko , Khunti Kamlesh
Published: February 2024

Background

Rebound hyperglycemia may occur following glucagon treatment for severe hypoglycemia. We assessed rebound hyperglycemia occurrence after nasal glucagon (NG) or injectable glucagon (IG) administration in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Methods

This was a pooled analysis of 3 multicenter, randomized, open-label studies (NCT03339453, NCT03421379, NCT01994746) in patients ≥18 years with T1D or T2D with induced hypoglycemia. Proportions of patients achieving treatment success [blood glucose (BG) increase to ≥70 mg/dL or increase of ≥20 mg/dL from nadir within 15 and 30 minutes]; BG ≥70 mg/dL within 15 minutes; in-range BG (70-180 mg/dL) 1 to 2 and 1 to 4 hours postdose; and BG >180 mg/dL 1 to 2 and 1 to 4 hours postdose were compared. Incremental area under curve (iAUC) of BG >180 mg/dL and area under curve (AUC) of observed BG values postdose were analyzed. Safety was assessed in all studies.

Results

Higher proportions of patients had in-range BG with NG vs IG (1-2 hours: P = .0047; 1-4 hours: P = .0034). Lower proportions of patients had at least 1 BG value >180 mg/dL with NG vs IG (1-2 hours: P = .0034; 1-4 hours: P = .0068). iAUC and AUC were lower with NG vs IG (P = .025 and P < .0001). As expected, similar proportions of patients receiving NG or IG achieved treatment success at 15 and 30 minutes (97-100%). Most patients had BG ≥70 mg/dL within 15 minutes (93-96%). The safety profile was consistent with previous studies.

Conclusion

This study demonstrated lower rebound hyperglycemia risk after NG treatment compared with IG.

A protocol for a scoping review of methodologies used to explore patient experience in post-acute rehabilitation settings
Authors: Torok Zsofia , O’Keeffe Aisling , Darley Andrew , Carroll Áine
Published: February 2024

Background Patient experience is routinely collected in the clinical environment in many different ways throughout various person-provider encounters, but so far limited research focused on understanding the methods of using it to improve the quality of healthcare. This paper presents a protocol for a methodological scoping review examining the methods of obtaining, analysing, reporting, and using patient experience data for quality improvement in rehabilitation settings. Methods The scoping review will be conducted according to the guidelines from the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Manual for Evidence Synthesis and the methodological framework by Arksey & O’Malley. A comprehensive search of the literature will be performed using a three-step search strategy: an initial limited search of two databases was already performed and helped to identified relevant key words and index terms. The developed search string will be adapted and applied across four databases. This will be followed by search of the reference lists of selected sources and hand-search relevant data-hubs. Studies with a clear focus on patient experience or feedback collected or used for healthcare improvement in rehabilitation context, will be included. A data extraction framework will be developed and piloted to guide the literature screening and data charting. Qualitative content analysis will be employed to address research questions and the results will be presented – beside the descriptive format - as a map of data in chart and tabular formats. Conclusions This scoping review will show the extent and scope of the literature on the applied methods of collecting, communicating, and using patient experience for quality improvement in post-acute rehabilitation settings and will evaluate and map the evidence on these topics. The findings will inform a research project entitled “An exploration into the use of patient experience to inform improvement in a National Rehabilitation Hospital”.

Authors: Selinenkova A. , Zenkina S.
Published: February 2024

The article presents the result of a study that will help to consider the dynamics of the development of the main indicators in the process of adaptation to work at school for a novice teacher. This study will help to correctly draw up a mentor's work plan with a young teacher, at the right time to provide him with professional support, which is an important component in his further decision to stay or leave school. The analysis of graphs was also carried out and the patterns of development of the main indicators in the process of adaptation for a novice specialist were revealed. Based on the results obtained, the time frame for the onset of professional crises of a young teacher was determined, which can become his turning points in the desire to work at school, to determine important ranges for the work of a mentor with a young teacher.
Legal Literacy of University Students As an Important Component of the Personnel Training System
Authors: Andryushenkov V. , Andryushenkova O.
Published: February 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the problem of legal literacy of students based on the results of a sociological survey, in which 102 university students from various fields of study took part. For 97% of respondents, legal literacy in the modern world is very relevant. The work emphasizes the importance of developing legal consciousness among financial university students and offers some recommendations for improving this process. This is due to the fact that legal literacy is an indicator of an individual’s social maturity and readiness to resolve legal issues. Thus, the results of the study allow us to conclude that it is necessary to introduce more classes on legal issues into the system of training highly qualified personnel, which will help students better understand legal instruments and their application in various situations.

Niniejszy tekst poświęcony jest muzyce rap i zagadnieniom biograficzności, biografii i biograficznego uczenia się. Autorka tekstu zainteresowana jest edukacyjnym potencjałem rapu, zarówno z punktu widzenia ich twórców, jak i ich słuchaczy. Jest to możliwe dzięki biografizacji rapu, która przejawia się obecnością treści biograficznych w utworach rapowych, a także aspektów związanych z biogra- ficznym uczeniem się rapujących artystów.

Jakie aspekty biograficzne uwidaczniają utwory wybranych raperów? Jakie wydarzenia i sytuacje ilustrujące życie raperów wyróżniają w swoich utworach ich twórcy? Jaki obraz dzieciństwa (przedszkolny, szkolny), dojrzewania, dorosłości ukazany jest w utworach raperów? Jak opisują wychodzenie z sytuacji trudnych i pokonywanie kryzysów? W jakim sensie ma ono charakter biograficznego uczenia się? Poszukiwania odpowiedzi na ww. pytania autorka umieściła w paradygmacie interpretatywnym, posługując się badaniami jakościowymi i metodą analizy dokumentów.
Od-uczyć się tęsknoty za minionym - rozważania o współczesnej starości
Authors: Majewska-Kafarowska Agnieszka
Published: February 2024

This article is devoted to the reflections on the specific nature of old age derived from the author’s inspirations with the categories found in the works by Zygmunt Bauman, Tadeusz Sławek and Krzysztof Maliszewski. Those are reflections on the phenomenon of ageing which is anchored in the post-modern culture. The author suggests that old age should be perceived not only as a social and demographic phenomenon occurring on the socio-cultural, economic, political or historical ground, but also as personal experience, an individual project, time in life experienced as a period without coercion but with the right to live one’s own way, in one’s own rhythm and on one’s own.

Badania nad oświatą dorosłych w obliczu metodologicznego przełomu
Authors: Malewsk Mieczysław
Published: February 2024

Możliwości wyborów metodologicznych z jednej strony są ograniczone przez aktualnie obowiązujący w naukach społecznych ideał wiedzy naukowej, z drugiej przez ewolucję aksjologicznych podstaw praktyki oświatowej. Jeżeli wyniki badań nad oświatą dorosłych mają mieć walor społecznej użyteczności, aksjologia ta musi być przez badaczy respektowana. Biorąc pod uwagę obydwa typy wyznaczników Autor artykułu założył, że badania nad oświatą dorosłych będą po 1989 r. ewoluować w kierunku paradygmatu interpretatywnego. Uzasadnił to, odwołując się do czterech płaszczyzn metodologii: ontologicznej, epistemologicznej, aksjologicznej i metodologicznej z punktu widzenia opozycyjnej wobec realizmu ontologicznego koncepcji nominalistycznej. Prognozowany kierunek zmian nie unieważnia jednakże stosowania paradygmatu strukturalno-funkcjonalnego, ponieważ organy odpowiedzialne za edukację oczekują naukowo uzasadnionych twierdzeń optymalizujących rzeczywistość edukacyjną. Chodzi o to, abyśmy wyłaniającego się nowego świata edukacji dorosłych nie badali wyłącznie przy użyciu starych narzędzi metodologicznych
Twórcy polskiej dydaktyki dorosłych
Authors: Aleksander Tadeusz
Published: February 2024

Intencją zaprezentowanego tekstu jest utrwalenie wkładu Józefa Półturzyckiego w rozwój polskiej dydaktyki dorosłych. Z myślą o uchwyceniu oryginalności tego dorobku ukazano go na tle podręczników dydaktyki dorosłych innych autorów: Ireny Drozdowicz-Jurgielewiczowej, Marii Borowieckiej, Franciszka Urbańczyka. Podstawę źródłową opracowania stanowią informacje biograficzne zebrane w toku kwerendy archiwalnej akt osobowych wymienionych osób oraz analizy treści opracowanych przez nich podręczników dydaktyki dorosłych. Wszyscy autorzy, w tym także Józef Półturzycki, byli w młodości nauczycielami dorosłych, mieli więc w obszarze, któremu poświęcili swoje podręczniki, duże doświadczenie praktyczne. Przygotowując je, przestudiowali też uważnie polską i zagraniczną literaturę na temat kształcenia dorosłych. Dzięki temu zabiegowi metodologicznemu napisane przez nich podręczniki wiernie odzwierciedlają współczesne im osiągnięcia refleksji krajowej i zagranicznej w obszarze kształcenia dorosłych
Nieformalna edukacja dorosłych. Nieostre zakresy, nieuchwytne znaczenia
Authors: Pierścieniak Krzysztof
Published: February 2024

Autor przedstawia w artykule historię formowania się idei i teorii, które były fundamentalne dla wyróżnienia formalnej, pozaformalnej i nieformalnej edukacji dorosłych. Uwagę koncentruje na edukacji nieformalnej, wskazując na jej różne odmiany, syntetyzując to pod postacią klasyfikacji opartej na dwóch wymiarach: intencjonalności i nieintencjonalności oraz świadomości i nieświadomości nieformalnej edukacji. Z perspektywy 14 lat od opublikowania pierwszej wersji artykułu autor konstatuje, że edukacja nieformalna przestała być kategorią rezydualną, rośnie krytyczny stosunek do jej roli w publicznej polityce lifelong learning, ale jednocześnie podejmuje się liczne próby pomiaru i uznawania efektów edukacji nieformalnej, rozwija się nowy język opisu tej formy uczenia się dorosłych. W prologu postuluje debatę środowisk zainteresowanych edukacją nieformalną na rzecz teoretycznej klaryfikacji, sprzyjającej jej realizacji w praktyce.
Kultury uczenia się: kilka refleksji w kontekście uczenia się przez całe życie
Authors: Przybylska Ewa Małgorzata
Published: February 2024

Kultury ludzkich światów życia, także kultury uczenia się, determinują aktywność edukacyjną grup społecznych i jednostek. Niektóre z nich sprzyjają rozwojowi kreatywności i animują do uczenia się przez całe życie; inne tworzą trudne do przezwyciężenia bariery, przekreślając szanse życiowe i zawodowe młodych ludzi już na progu ich dorosłości. Autorka artykułu podejmuje kilka wątków pojawiających się we współczesnej debacie na temat kultur uczenia się. W nawiązaniu do koncepcji alfabetyzacji Jürgena Reichena formułuje pytanie o granice eksperymentów pedagogicznych wdrażanych w trosce o rozwój twórczej osobowości i kreatywności przyszłych pracowników.
Strategie edukacyjne dorosłych (na przykładzie studentów studiów niestacjonarnych Wydziału Pedagogicznego UW)
Authors: Skibińska Ewa
Published: February 2024

Artykuł zawiera omówienie badań empirycznych dotyczących strategii edukacyjnych, tj. sposobów działania związanych z uczeniem się, jakie stosują studenci studiów niestacjonarnych. Przedmiotem szczególnego zainteresowania są dwa aspekty strategii edukacyjnych studentów: uczenie się w perspektywie planów życiowych oraz elementy indywidualnego procesu uczenia się, tj. cele kształcenia, preferowane treści kształcenia, faworyzowane metody uczenia się, trudności związane z uczeniem się. Stosowane przez studentów strategie scharakteryzowano, mając na uwadze cechy charakterystyczne strategii defensywnej (obronnej, pasywnej) i ofensywnej (aktywnej). Przeprowadzone badania prowadzą do wniosku, że 53,3% badanych studentów częściej stosuje strategie defensywne, a 46,7% – ofensywne.
Nauczyciel jako organizator procesu samokształcenia dorosłych
Authors: Frąckowiak Anna
Published: February 2024

W artkule zostało omówione zagadnienie działalności nauczyciela w dziedzinie organizacji procesu samokształceniowego w szkole wyższej. W pierwszej kolejności dokonano porównania między tradycyjną rolą nauczyciela, rozumianą jako przekazywanie wiedzy, a rolą organizatora warunków ułatwiających realizację uczenia się osób dorosłych. Następnie przeanalizowano sposoby tworzenia odpowiedniego środowiska dla samokształcenia, w tym wykorzystania komunikacji na odległość i uczenia się na podstawie kontraktów. Wreszcie, w ostatniej części, przedstawiono przegląd najważniejszych elementów będących podstawą konstrukcji materiałów samokształceniowych przez nauczyciela.Z perspektywy 20 lat artykuł stanowi świadectwo tego, jak przyspieszyły zmiany społeczne i technologiczne, nasilane wciąż nowymi kryzysami. Owe zmiany, wraz z poddawaną krytyce niewydolnością instytucji edukacyjnych, prowadzą do wniosku, że samokształcenie – w różnych jego odmianach – może stać się niedługo dominującym procesem zdobywania wiedzy i umiejętności.

DIÁLOGOS EM FLUXO EM FÓRUNS GENERALISTAS DA INTERNET: AÇÕES DE TROCAS E APRENDIZAGENS EM REDES SOCIOTÉCNICAS
Authors: Junqueira Eduardo Santos , Aquino Mateus Marques
Published: February 2024

O artigo apresenta estudo, de caráter qualitativo, sobre um fórum na plataforma Reddit e que buscou compreender a natureza comunicacional das mensagens dos usuários e saber as opiniões deles sobre suas ações naquele contexto. Mensagens classificadas utilizando-se o protocolo PADIR (PEREIRA; JUNQUEIRA, 2018) indicaram a prática preponderante do diálogo entre os usuários, com intensas trocas de informações e opiniões, mas também revelaram práticas típicas dos fóruns da internet, representadas por mensagens mais curtas e nem sempre focadas na temática principal. Em entrevistas, usuários explicaram o sentido das mensagens publicadas por eles e revelaram que participam do fórum para se atualizar, trocar informações e aprender sobre perspectivas diversas. Também reduziram a importância do desenvolvimento de vínculos sociais como motivadores de suas postagens. Prevaleceram as ações de conceituação sobre os temas tratados e de análise crítica dos fatos e opiniões pelos usuários. Concluiu-se que a aprendizagem se configurou pela obtenção de novos conhecimentos por eles no contexto das trocas realizadas no fórum, resultando em uma reconstrução de sentidos e de significados acerca dos fatos abordados pelos sujeitos participantes.
NOVOS TEMPOS EXIGEM NOVAS POSTURAS: O SABER MEDIATIZADO DOCENTE NA EDUCAÇÃO 4.0
Authors: Mometti Carlos
Published: February 2024

Com a evolução das tecnologias digitais de informação e comunicação (TDIC's) e sua posterior aplicação na educação, um novo formato de ensino surge, e faz-se necessário repensarmos o conjunto de saberes empregues pelo docente. Neste contexto, buscamos com este artigo discutir acercados aportes necessários para a formação docente na chamada educação 4.0. Para isso, utilizamo-nos de uma análiseexperiencial da implantação de um Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem, assumindoa visão docente como operadordo novo processo. Como construção do argumento, partimos de aportes teóricos acerca da evolução da economia e de sua relação com a categorização da educação. Posteriormente, seguimos para a apresentação de dados obtidos por meio de um estudo de caso e, finalmente, trazemos à guisa de discussão os saberes necessários para a formação docente em tempos de educação 4.0. Defendemos, todavia, que caberá aos novos currículos de formação docente a inserção de disciplinas que trabalhem o saber mediatizado. Deste modo, caberá uma reformulação dos cursos de formação inicial no que tange à educação 4.0.

CONVERSAÇÃO ONLINE COMO DISPOSITIVO NA CIBERPESQUISA-FORMAÇÃO MULTIRREFERENCIAL
Authors: Ribeiro Mayra Rodrigues Fernandes , Alcântara Patricia de Souza Cidrack , Silva Quelvin Sousa
Published: February 2024

O contexto atual pós-crise pandêmica da Covid-19 tem potencializado a conversação online (Pimentel; Araújo, 2020) no cenário acadêmico em geral. Neste artigo, apresentamos essa prática como dispositivo de pesquisa-formação (Josso, 2004; Macedo, 2010; Santos, 2014), com inspiração multirreferencial (Ardoino, 1998) na pesquisa de iniciação científica (PIBIC/CNPq) e na pesquisa do Mestrado em Educação da UERN, tendo em vista compreender como as conversações online têm contribuído para a emergência de processos formativos e autorais no contexto da cibercultura. Assumimos em nossas pesquisas outra forma de produzir sentido. Diferentemente dos valores formalistas, rígidos e puristas do cartesianismo, pensamos o conhecimento no âmbito do heterogêneo, do acolhimento e do trabalho com a diferença, perspectiva em que o diálogo e a produção de narrativas por meio da conversação online mostram-se potências em uma formação outra em relação à pesquisa. Com o acionamento do Mentimeter, do Vídeo e do Google Forms, os sujeitos da pesquisa produziram vivências formativas enriquecidas pelo ato reflexivo de questionar, narrar, dialogar e se alterarem colaborativamente.
DOCÊNCIA-FORMAÇÃO E PROFESSORALIDADE: A CONVERSA ESTENDIDA NOS GIROS DAS ROTAÇÕES POR ESTAÇÃO
Authors: Salvadori Juliana Cristina , Silva Ana Lucia Gomes da
Published: February 2024

Este texto rastreia a produção das subjetividades da docência-formação, no componente curricular Docência e Diversidade (DD) de um Programa de Pós-Graduação multiprofissional de uma universidade pública baiana e tem como objetivo apresentar a experiência como formação na constituição da professoralidade atravessada pela diversidade como princípio onto-epistêmico e formativo. Adota como método a conversa, sustentada nos pressupostos freireanos do diálogo na interface com a educação online, em contexto pandêmico, sistematizada pelos dispositivos de avaliação-formação rotação por estação e rodas de conversa, online, registrados em diários de bordo, individuais e coletivos que, rizomaticamente, expandiram-se por meio de hiperlinks. Os resultados apontam evidências de aprendizagens, e indícios de criação, coautoria e cocriação a partir de estratégias diversas de apropriação dos conceitos e provocações:  criação de metáfora co-autoral, intervenção da (anti)arte, e produção de narrativas em suplemento, na perspectiva derrideana. Avalia-se que tanto os princípios epistemológicos e organizativos da metodologia, quanto o desenho didático propiciaram aos estudantes e docentes imersão em ambiências híbridas em que fomos instados a exercitar e experimentar juntos. Também apontaram para as estratégias das conversas como disparadores de experiências-experimentos, a fim de ressignificar resistências ao saudosismo da educação presencial, câmaras fechadas e baixa interação inicial nas aulas. Contudo, destaca-se como fragilidade o processo auto e hetero avaliativo, em que aspectos morais (interesse, esforço) entram como parâmetros centrais, e em que as lacunas são projetadas para fora como faltas/falhas, evitando a assunção da corresponsabilidade sobre os processos formativos de si e do coletivo.
O DESENVOLVIMENTO DE MÚLTIPLOS LETRAMENTOS NA E PARA DOCÊNCIA: práticas em tempos atuais

Published: February 2024

Este artigo objetiva compreender as experiências vivenciadas a partir de práticas desenvolvidas em uma escola pública de Ensino Fundamental II do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, dadas as contribuições de pesquisa que pretendeu compreender como se dão as buscas docentes e suas apropriações nos usos do digital em rede. Com vistas a estas narrativas e conversas realizadas com docentes, temos como recorte o marco temporal que abrange parte do período de pandemia, até a segunda metade do ano de 2021. Dada a necessidade de entender a importância do desenvolvimento de múltiplos letramentos ‘docentesdiscentes’, tendo como base estudos de autores como Rojo (2013) e Street (2014), como prática social, ampliação do conhecimento e de uma aprendizagem significativa. Assim, a partir do olhar de três docentes, autores do presente trabalho, na perspectiva de uma etnopesquisa que se constitui através de um modo próprio de pensar acerca de fenômenos e experiências vivenciados por um determinado grupo, conforme nos ajuda a pensar Ardoino (1998) e Macedo (2010). Considerando os cotidianos dos docentes, praticantes desse estudo como aprendemos com Alves (2008 e 2019) e com uma escuta atenta as necessidades discentes que apenas um docente implicado com sua prática (FREIRE, 1987 e 2015), é capaz de auxiliar o discente na busca pela autonomia e de uma aprendizagem significativa, respeitando a diversidade e pluralidade sociocultural presente na escola.

Evaluating an epilepsy clinical nurse specialist development programme
Authors: Ball Toni , Bailey Liz , Smyth Conor , Rowe Jacqui , Tittensor Phil , Manfredonia Francesco
Published: February 2024

There is a demand across the country for highly trained epilepsy specialist nurses (ESNs) due to the increasing number of patients that this long-term condition affects. It is estimated that 65 million people worldwide are affected by epilepsy. If not treated and supported effectively, epilepsy comes with high risk of mortality, comorbidities, stigma and high potential costs to the NHS. Patients who do not have access to a highly trained ESNs can be significantly and negatively affected by wrong diagnosis, gaps in knowledge when facing general care, incorrect and, on occasion, detrimental treatment options, poor epilepsy education and advocacy. Furthermore, patients living in rural areas often do not have access to large tertiary centres or neurologists with an interest in epilepsy. Due to this, access to ESNs running nurse-led clinics in smaller hospitals and community settings is vital to improving patient care. Nonetheless, there is a shortage of highly trained ESNs. The ESN development programme discussed in this article was formed as a concerted action to address recruitment challenges and widen the area and scope of care for people with an epilepsy diagnosis.
The experience of cancer pain in South African patients
Authors: Robinson Rowan , Maree Johanna E
Published: February 2024

Background:

Most people with cancer experience pain caused by the disease and treatment.

Aims:

To describe the experience of cancer pain of South African patients.

Methods:

A qualitative descriptive design was used; 20 (n=20) participants were purposively selected and in-depth interviews were conducted. Inductive content analysis was used to analyse the data.

Findings:

Two themes and five subthemes were identified. The themes were pain as a unique multi-dimensional experience, and that the unmet needs of the patient can influence their experience of pain.

Conclusion:

The participants experienced total pain. Emotional pain, enhanced by loneliness and unmet information needs was experienced, and this was felt by participants as the worst kind of pain. Pain was mediated by means of medication that did not work well for all, support, compassionate care and hope that God would cure them and take the pain away.

Recommendation:

A person-centred approach to pain management is needed, especially in diverse countries, such as South Africa, to better understand the complexity and influence of culture, language and education on the pain experience and to guide individual pain management.

Ethnobotany of cassava (Manihot esculenta) in the traditional peri-urban Sundanese community of Cireundeu Hamlet, Cimahi City, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 25: 116-128. The community of Cireundeu Hamlet is one of the Sundanese traditional communities that still maintain wisdom in processing and using cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) as staple food (rasi) and foodstuff. Many landraces of cassava have the potential to develop into superior varieties, and research is necessary to make cassava a year-round food. The aim of this study is to elucidate the ethnobotanical knowledge of the rural Sundanese community on cassava, namely on various landraces and their folk classification, traditional farming management, and uses. Based on a case study of the traditional people in a peri-urban area of Cireundeu Hamlet, Cimahi City, West Java, Indonesia, mixed methods, i.e., qualitative and quantitative, were used in this study. There are seven landraces of cassava used as foodstuff that are traditionally managed by the Cireundeu people, including sampeu apuy, sampeu bodas, sampeu gambir lembang, sampeu garnawis, sampeu hideung, sampeu karihkil, and sampeu mentega. Based on Relative Frequency of Citation, the highest values are sampeu bodas (0.96) and sampeu garnawis (0.93). These cassava landraces can be distinguished by the Cireundeu people based on characteristics of petiole color, stem color, apical leaf color, leaf color, and taste of the tubers. Based on folk taxonomy, cassava is classified into five levels: level 0 (unique beginner), known as tutuwuhan and pepelakan (plants); level 1 (Life form) known as beubeutian (tubers); level 2 (generic) known as sampeu karet and sampeu, a genus from Manihot esculenta; level 3 (species) known as sampeu (sweet-cassava, Manihot esculenta Crantz) and sampeu karet (bitter cassava, M. carthagenensis subsp. glaziovii); and level 4 (specific). The processing and use of cassava are carried out both in traditional and modern ways, including using apical leaves as lalab or boiled vegetables and using the roots as the basic ingredients for making rasi (sangueun), tapioca flour, and snacks.
Social reproduction, migration and labour control regimes: understanding Filipino crew experiences in the UK fishing fleet
Authors: Kelly Philip F. , Ducusin Ria Jhoanna
Published: February 2024

The notion of a labour control regime provides a conceptual framework for understanding the web of actors, institutions and norms that shape disciplinary mechanisms in the labour process. While labour regime approaches have drawn in multiple scales and diverse processes, this paper argues that international migration, and social reproduction in migrant source areas, must also be understood as part of the regime. Focusing on the case of Filipino migrants in the UK fishing industry, we use qualitative interviews conducted in the port of Fraserburgh, Scotland, and a migrant sending community in the province of Cebu, Philippines. We argue that the reproductive processes of workers’ lives in their home communities are an important underpinning of the labour regime they participate in when working on contracts overseas. We identify three sets of reproductive processes in particular: the trajectories of household poverty and debt that propel labour migration; the socialisation and social networks, as well as zones of recuperation, provided by home communities; and, the long-term temporalities of previous investments in fishery migration, as well as future aspirations for financial stability and intergenerational social mobility. While reproductive spaces and processes are not controlling mechanisms in themselves, they do represent an important part of the labour regime and they begin to explain migrant fishers’ forbearance in the face of a disciplinary labour regime.
Antinomianism at the Fin de Siècle: The Sin Against the Holy Spirit in Arthur Symons and W.B. Yeats
Authors: Cheeke Stephen
Published: February 2024

Abstract: This article explores the work of Arthur Symons and W.B Yeats and their engagement with antinomian ideas in the 1890s. If antinomianism promised the supersession of normative morality, the transcendence of all sins, one "sin" remained mysterious both for Yeats and Symons: the unpardonable sin against the Holy Spirit, spoken of in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and in Hebrews. In Yeats's story "The Tables of the Law" (1896), and Symons's "Seaward Lackland" in Spiritual Adventures (1905), the problem of this exceptionable sin reveals a deeper ambiguity in relation to late nineteenth-century antinomianism, and to notions of Decadence.

High-efficiency and high-quality removal of sulfurized silicone rubber from insulator
surfaces is paramount for high-voltage power systems. To address this
issue, and aiming to achieve precise and nondestructive cleaning of
room temperature vulcanized (RTV) coatings, we selected millisecond
laser cleaning technology in this study. Successful and efficient
cleaning of the RTV coating was performed by adjusting laser
parameters. Characterization techniques, including scanning electron
microscopy, energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, and confocal
microscopy, were employed to comprehensively assess the cleaning
effects and ensure the integrity of the substrate surface. The results
indicate that by adjusting the scanning power combination of the high
power of the millisecond pulse laser to 200 W and the low power
of 150 W, the glass substrate surface maintains excellent
roughness and micro-morphological features after laser cleaning,
providing optimal conditions for subsequent processing and
utilization. This research contributes an efficient and cost-effective
solution to the insulation treatment process in high-voltage power
systems.

Published: February 2024

Compound lens systems with mechanical actuators are used to focus objects at near to far distances. The focal length of ultrasound varifocal liquid crystal (LC) lenses can be controlled by modulating the refractive index spatial distribution of the medium through the acoustic radiation force, resulting in thin and fast-response varifocal lenses. The frequency characteristics of such a lens are evaluated in this paper, and several axisymmetric resonant vibration modes over 20 kHz are observed. The effective lens aperture decreased with the wavelength of the resonant flexural vibration generated on the lens, meaning that this parameter can be controlled with the driving frequency.
Cherenkov light emission in external beam radiation therapy of the larynx

Published: February 2024

Numerical experiments for the radiation therapy of laryngeal cancer are performed using clinical data to investigate the characteristics of Cherenkov light emitted during treatment delivery, and the origin of light within the patient emerging on certain regions on the patient surface. Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and Volumetric-Modulated Arc Radiation Therapy (VMAT), the two main treatment modalities used clinically, are considered. It is confirmed that the emitted Cherenkov light is dominant in the ultraviolet spectral region and is concentrated in tissue in regions of high-dose delivery, with the spatial distribution depending on the treatment type. The Cherenkov light at the patient surface is dominant in the near-infrared spectral region. Light emitted within the tumour and immediately surrounding tissue emerges at the patient surface on a well-defined radiation-beam-independent region that is also the region of high surface light intensity. This suggest that surface light measurements restricted to this smaller region on the patient surface (that can be determined through simulations prior to the treatment) could enable probing the tumour, while being easier to integrate with the radiotherapy system. The spectral and spatial characteristics of the emitted light that contributes to surface light (the internal light sources) are also investigated, and the unveiled characteristics can provide guidance for the development of image reconstruction algorithms for Cherenkov light-based tomographic imaging for tumour monitoring during radiation therapy.
Clinical predictors of severe forms of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 in adults and children during the 2009 epidemic in Brazil
Authors: Braga Jose Ueleres
Published: February 2024

The World Health Organization (WHO) raised the global alert level for the A(H1N1) influenza pandemic in June 2009. However, since the beginning of the epidemic, the fight against the epidemic lacked foundations for managing cases to reduce the disease lethality. It was urgent to carry out studies that would indicate a model for predicting severe forms of influenza. This study aimed to identify risk factors for severe forms during the 2009 influenza epidemic and develop a prediction model based on clinical epidemiological data. A case-control of cases notified to the health secretariats of the states of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Paraná, and Rio Grande do Sul was conducted. Cases had fever, respiratory symptoms, positive confirmatory test for the presence of the virus associated with one of the three conditions: (i) presenting respiratory complications such as pneumonia, ventilatory failure, severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis, acute cardiovascular complications or death; or respiratory failure requiring invasive or non-invasive ventilatory support, (ii) having been hospitalized or (iii) having been admitted to an Intensive Care Unit. Controls were individuals diagnosed with the disease on the same date (or same week) as the cases. A total of 1653 individuals were included in the study, (858 cases/795 controls). These participants had a mean age of 26 years, a low level of education, and were mostly female. The most important predictors identified were systolic blood pressure in mmHg, respiratory rate in bpm, dehydration, obesity, pregnancy (in women), and vomiting (in children). Three clinical prediction models of severity were developed, for adults, adult women, and for children. The performance evaluation of these models indicated good predictive capacity. The area values under the ROC curve of these models were 0.89; 0.98 and 0.91 respectively for the model of adults, adult women, and children respectively.

Mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes were described recently in Gram-negative bacteria including carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales. There are ten mcr genes described in different Gram-negative bacteria, however, Escherichia coli harboring mcr-1 gene is by far the most frequent combination. In Argentina, mcr-1 gene was characterized only on plasmids belonging to IncI2 group. The aim of this work was to get new insights of mcr-1-harboring plasmids from E. coli. Eight E. coli isolates from a larger collection of 192 clinical E. coli isolates carrying the mcr-1 gene were sequenced using next generation technologies. Three isolates belonged to ST131 high-risk clone, and five to single ST, ST38, ST46, ST226, ST224, and ST405. Eight diverse mcr-1-harboring plasmids were analyzed: IncI2 (1), IncX4 (3), IncHI2/2A (3) and a hybrid IncFIA/HI1A/HI1B (1) plasmid. Plasmids belonging to the IncI2 (n = 1) and IncX4 (n = 3) groups showed high similarity with previously described plasmids. Two IncHI2/HI2A plasmids, showed high identity between them, while the third, showed several differences including additional resistance genes like tet(A) and floR. One IncFIA/H1A/H1B hybrid plasmid was characterized, highly similar to pSRC27-H, a prototype plasmid lacking mcr genes. mcr-1.5 variant was found in four plasmids with three different Inc groups: IncI2, IncHI2/HI2A and the hybrid FIA/HI1A/HI1B plasmid. mcr-1.5 variant is almost exclusively described in our country and with a high frequency. In addition, six E. coli isolates carried three allelic variants codifying for CTX-M-type extended-spectrum-β-lactamases: blaCTX-M-2 (3), blaCTX-M-65 (2), and blaCTX-M-14 (1). It is the first description of mcr-1 harboring plasmids different to IncI2 group in our country. These results represents new insights about mcr-1 harboring plasmids recovered from E. coli human samples from Argentina, showing different plasmid backbones and resistance gene combinations.
Nutraceuticals known to promote hair growth do not interfere with the inhibitory action of tamoxifen in MCF7, T47D and BT483 breast cancer cell lines
Authors: Baker Richard , Dell’Acqua Giorgio , Richards Aleksander , Thornton M. Julie
Published: February 2024

Background

Hair loss/thinning is a common side effect of tamoxifen in estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer therapy. Some nutraceuticals known to promote hair growth are avoided during breast cancer therapy for fear of phytoestrogenic activity. However, not all botanical ingredients have similarities to estrogens, and in fact, no information exists as to the true interaction of these ingredients with tamoxifen. Therefore, this study sought to ascertain the effect of nutraceuticals (+/- estrogen/tamoxifen), on proliferation of breast cancer cells and the relative expression of ERα/β.

Methods

Kelp, Astaxanthin, Saw Palmetto, Tocotrienols, Maca, Horsetail, Resveratrol, Curcumin and Ashwagandha were assessed on proliferation of MCF7, T47D and BT483 breast cancer cell lines +/- 17β-estradiol and tamoxifen. Each extract was analysed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) prior to use. Cellular ERα and ERβ expression was assessed by qRT-PCR and western blot. Changes in the cellular localisation of ERα:ERβ and their ratio following incubation with the nutraceuticals was confirmed by immunocytochemistry.

Results

Estradiol stimulated DNA synthesis in three different breast cancer cell lines: MCF7, T47D and BT483, which was inhibited by tamoxifen; this was mirrored by a specific ERa agonist in T47D and BT483 cells. Overall, nutraceuticals did not interfere with tamoxifen inhibition of estrogen; some even induced further inhibition when combined with tamoxifen. The ERα:ERβ ratio was higher at mRNA and protein level in all cell lines. However, incubation with nutraceuticals induced a shift to higher ERβ expression and a localization of ERs around the nuclear periphery.

Conclusions

As ERα is the key driver of estrogen-dependent breast cancer, if nutraceuticals have a higher affinity for ERβ they may offer a protective effect, particularly if they synergize and augment the actions of tamoxifen. Since ERβ is the predominant ER in the hair follicle, further studies confirming whether nutraceuticals can shift the ratio towards ERβ in hair follicle cells would support a role for them in hair growth. Although more research is needed to assess safety and efficacy, this promising data suggests the potential of nutraceuticals as adjuvant therapy for hair loss in breast cancer patients receiving endocrine therapy.
