Published: October 2024

Introduction. In liver pathology, lipid metabolism is significantly affected. Along with the use of routine laboratory methods for diagnosing nutritional stare and metabolic disorders including dislipidemia, there is a need for simple, accurate and non-invasive methods for assessing body composition, such as bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Materials and methods. There were examined 282 patients with chronic liver pathology, 75 patients with chronic viral hepatitis (HVC group), 96 patients with hepatic steatosis (SH group), 111 patients with liver cirrhosis (CH group). BIA indicators: BMI, percentage of body fat (PBF), indicator of the proportion of visceral fat (PVF) and total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides (TG) in serum were determined. Results. BMI in the SH-G was found 30.29±0.50, in the HVC-G - 28.13±0.65, in the CH-G - 22.69±0.16 kg/m². PBF: 36.02±1.06 (SH-G), 34.16±1.33 (HVC-G), 22.90±0.85% (CH-G). PVF in the SH-G was 12.03±0.50, in the HVC-G it was 10.60±0.58, in the CH-G it was 7.06±0.28%. LDL: 3.73±0.13 (SH-G), 3.02±0.14 (HVC-G), 2.35±0.15 mmol/l (CH-G). TG in the SH-G - 1.87±0.11, in the HVC-G - 1.48±0.22, in the CH-G - 0.80±0.04 mmol/l. Conclusion. The highest rates of both biochemical and BIA are observed in patients with SH, and the lowest in the CH. To study lipid metabolism and evaluate the nutrition stare of patients with chronic liver disease, noninvasive methods such as BIA can be recommended.

Published: October 2024

Introduction. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and antimicrobial resistance are a global health problems and public health threats. UTIs are most commonly caused by Gram-negative microorganisms, such as E. coli, K. pneumonia, and P. mirabilis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the antimicrobial resistance of E. coli and K. pneumoniae strains isolated from patients with urinary tract infections. Materials and methods. The study batch included 2750 strains of Escherichia coli and 867 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from UTI. Antimicrobial resistance of clinical isolates was determined by the diffusimetric method and the VITEK 2 Compact automated system (bioMerieux). Results. The results of the study demonstrated that both E. coli and K. pneumoniae strains isolated from urine cultures showed a high degree of resistance to antimicrobial preparations. K. pneumonia showed much higher levels of resistance, a big difference being observed for carbapenems, where E. coli showed resistance in 0.8% of cases, and K. pneumoniae – 26.4% of cases. The most common resistance mechanism (67.4%) was the production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases, mostly detected in E. coli strains. The K. pneumoniae strains most frequently produced carbapenemases, especially OXA-48 (30.5%). Conclusions. Uropathogenic strains of E. coli and K. pneumonia have been shown to be resistant to most classes of antimicrobials used in the treatment of UTI, and these findings may be useful for clinicians in making treatment decisions for these infections.

Published: October 2024

Transitioning to cloud-based infrastructure (CBI) for processing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) collected during police investigations could address resource challenges agencies currently face. While CBI provides quantifiable scalability and budgetary and inter-agency collaborative advantages, potential risks associated with data security, data sovereignty, and various legal and regulatory concerns may make agencies hesitant to make this transition. However, this paper demonstrates how a ‘shared responsibility model’ approach to cloud security can minimise risks, allowing investigators to take advantage of CBI benefits. In partnership with Oracle Corporation, we demonstrate how this could be implemented and continually monitored for new vulnerabilities within a CSAM context over time.
Abortion from an International Perspective after the Dobbs case
Authors: García Escobar Gabriela
Published: October 2024

The American Supreme Court of Justice recently overturned the precedents that legalized abortion in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case. This article analyzes whether this decision is consistent with the current status of abortion as established in International Human Rights Law (IHRL), according to its classical sources (treaties and customary law). Since no treaty includes a right to abortion and there is no consistent practice among states to legalize abortion, various soft law instruments are discussed to clarify the consensus on this issue. These instruments include the agreements reached at the World Population Conferences, the Fourth World Conference on Women of 1995, and the pronouncements and case law of human rights mechanisms (treaty monitoring bodies and regional courts). This analysis shows that the arguments and conclusions in the Dobbs case are consistent with what states have agreed to internationally on the matter.

This review examines the intricate relationship between obesity, endometrial cancer detection, and the role of community health programs, with a particular focus on low-income and Native American populations. Obesity is identified as a significant modifiable risk factor for endometrial cancer, disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities, which exacerbates existing health disparities. The paper explores the epidemiological link between obesity and endometrial cancer, highlighting disparities in detection and the compounded risks faced by underserved populations. It also reviews the effectiveness of public health initiatives aimed at improving cancer screening rates and obesity prevention among these groups. Despite the progress made through various community health programs, substantial gaps remain, particularly in ensuring culturally competent, accessible, and sustainable care. A lack of longitudinal studies evaluating the long-term impact of these programs on cancer detection and obesity management underscores the need for more robust research. Additionally, social, psychological, and systemic barriers continue to hinder screening uptake, further perpetuating health inequities. This review concludes by emphasizing the need for integrated public health approaches that combine obesity prevention with cancer screening, as well as policy reforms to enhance healthcare access and provider availability in underserved communities. Recommendations are provided for future research that addresses these gaps, with the goal of improving early detection and overall health outcomes for low-income and Native American women.

Authors: Aleksova Krasimira , Apostolova Danka , Sivilova Yana , Laskova Laska , Moskova Mihaela , Androva Diana
Published: October 2024

This study presents and discusses the results of a non-representative survey conducted with 3166 Вulgarian native speakers, investigating respondents’ preferences for competing temporal forms of verbs in different types of subordinate clauses, when the context expresses temporal features that the verb in the subordinate clause should carry. The hypothesis tested includes the expectation that both when choosing from suggested competing verb forms in the subordinate clause and in independently creating forms, respondents would prefer a less marked verb form, replacing the marked one due to syntagmatic (contextual) neutralization of one or more temporal oppositions. However, when choosing from suggested competing forms, it is possible, though not predominantly, for some respondents to opt for a more marked verb form.
The Opposition Own – Foreign in the Speech of Bulgarian Catholics from Belene in Lexical Examples
Authors: Abadzhieva Magdalena
Published: October 2024

The article examines two lexemes from the speech of the Bulgarian Catholics of Belene, originating from rites and dances of the Orthodox population in the city, by which are named unacceptable actions. The examples are interesting for how confessional difference manifests itself through language, transforming neutral vocabulary into emotional-expressive with a negative or disapproving tone. By means of the word бръзъùцъ, related to the observance „Brazaya“, a mocking and contemptuous attitude towards a woman with a funny, ugly or scary face is expressed. The second example under consideration, èръйшалдъ, derives from a dance characteristic of the Orthodox population of Belene, and is used in a negative sense for a person who expresses his joyous emotions unrestrained or who is rebellious and stubborn.
Time Imagery in Bulgarian Revival-Period Poetry
Authors: Getova Elena
Published: October 2024

This paper traces the temporal markers (year, day, hour, minute, moment) in Bulgarian Revival-period poetry. In addition, it zooms into the lyrical interpretations of time as the legacy of ancient attitudes and images (in terms of parallels with Greco-Roman mythology and with the Bible). Personal perceptions of time are linked to the specificity of historical events and their meaning; time is illustrated with the distinct ages of human beings and with the different seasons; it is also seen as a marker of the dynamics of the present.

STUDI HERMENEUTIK FEMINIS TERHADAP KISAH PEREMPUAN TANPA NAMA DALAM 2 SAMUEL 20:14-22
Authors: Saputra Jefri Andri
Published: October 2024

Tujuan dari artikel ini adalah untuk membebaskan penulisan kisah-kisah sejarah dari perspektif yang patriarkhis. Beberapa catatan sejarah kerap mengintimidasi identitas dan pengalaman perempuan sehingga mereka hanya berperan sebagai pemeran tambahan dalam sebuah cerita. Akan tetapi, beberapa tokoh perempuan berjasa dalam sejarah dan penulis sejarah harus mengakuinya. Penulis berupaya membebaskan kisah kepahlawanan dari bias patriarkhi dengan menggunakan kisah perempuan tanpa nama dalam teks 2 Samuel 20:14-22. Teks ini berisi kepahlawanan perempuan di kota Abel untuk menyelamatkan kota dari kepungan tentara Israel, sekaligus membunuh pemimpin pemberontak yang mengancam dinasti Daud. Analisis terhadap teks 2 Samuel 20:14-22 menggunakan hermeneutik feminis dari Elizabeth S. Fiorenza. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perempuan tanpa nama berjasa besar dan layak menjadi pahlawan. Kecerdasannya membaca situasi pengepungan kota, keberaniannya mengambil inisiatif, dan kebijaksanaannya dalam bernegosiasi dengan Yoab dan penduduk kota Abel, membuat cerita berakhir tanpa peperangan. Implikasi dari kisah ini adalah perempuan seharusnya dibebaskan dari stigma domestikasi dan inferioritas agar perempuan dapat menjadi tokoh publik yang superior sebagaimana laki-laki. Pembebasan ini akan memberikan jalan bagi apresiasi dan penghormatan perempuan sebagai pahlawan.

Aplicativos de relacionamento como artefatos culturais tecnológicos: masculinidades, currículo e pedagogia em tempos de capitalismo afetivo
Authors: Fernandes Mário Vieira , Duque Thiago
Published: October 2024

Neste artigo analisamos as experiências de homens que usam aplicativos de encontros afetivo-sexuais, especialmente aqueles voltados para o público gay, levando em consideração o currículo e a pedagogia cultural que está presente nessa produção generificada de si e de outros usuários desses artefatos culturais tecnológicos. Entendemos que esses artefatos tecnológicos instituem pedagogias culturais e afetivas pautadas em modelos disseminados não só pela indústria cultural em uma era digital, mas também por uma nova versão plataformizada do capitalismo. Foram analisadas duas entrevistas realizadas com usuários do Grindr, um aplicativo de encontros afetivo-sexuais. Os dados obtidos nos ajudaram a pensar a relação entre a produção atual das masculinidades e o contexto do capitalismo afetivo. Concluímos que o tipo de pedagogia-curricular emocional que essas plataformas instituem tem, em alguma medida, transformado a paquera em um cálculo didático-pedagógico hiper-racional e bastante solitário, culminando em diversas formas de apagamento das diferenças.
Gênero, masculinidade e corpo: narrativas e memórias de homens trans
Authors: Cardoso Thomas Victor Barreto , Leite Kelen Christina
Published: October 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é debater a construção da masculinidade para indivíduos que se identificam como transmasculinos através de narrativas e memórias de três homens trans. Para tanto foram discutidas questões como: hormonização; identidade; relações de afeto; situações de violência, dentre outras. A pesquisa realizada fez uso, metodologicamente, da história-oral como maneira de colocar em foco as memórias e vivências desses indivíduos. Constatou-se, pelos relatos, que a diversidade presente na construção das transmasculinidades possui potencialidade de contribuir para se pensar a forma como se entende e se vivencia a masculinidade apontando para a possibilidade de ser homem sem ter a necessidade de carregar os padrões de gênero estabelecidos pela heterocisnorma.
Deslizes ao corpóreo, ou sobre os efeitos dos deslumbramentos do esconjuro
Authors: Santos Leandro Assis
Published: October 2024

O presente artigo visa reconstruir a partir das reflexões de Georges Bataille o que se entende por esconjuro e sexualidade. Para tanto, delimitar um affaire filosófico com as noções de dispêndio, transgressão e interdito são centrais, uma vez que nosso filósofo recorre a elementos de escatologia a fim de delimitar o espaço mais íntimo da corporeidade. Esta será entendida a partir de sua imanência, haja vista que não existe nenhuma perspectiva de metafísico ou religioso (guarda-se aqui a diferença com o sagrado) no interior da obra do pensador francês. Dessa maneira, o intuito desse trabalho é especificar o lugar mais próprio do esconjuro na vida humana, partindo do que é mais baixo e vil, como procede nosso autor. Partindo desse propósito, nossa pesquisa objetiva explicitar quais os meandros que perpassam a dinâmica mais própria dos prazeres que, por sua vez, delimitam o espaço de nossa corporeidade, bem como acerca da própria “carne” do mundo.

Published: October 2024

The present work primarily aims to investigate and establish a method for the bioreduction of aromatic ketones to produce corresponding alcohols. This process is crucial for the production of various industrially important chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and natural products, and supports the principles of green chemistry. Additionally, this study seeks to valorize the vegetation cover in southern Algeria as a source of biochemical catalysts. Our research focused on the bioreduction of several acetophenone derivatives using the fruits of Oak (Quercus ilex L.) which is cultivated in northern Algeria. The findings indicate that these plant tissues can effectively reduce acetophenone derivatives. Specifically, a chemical yield of approximately 90% was achieved for acetophenone, while yields ranged from 60% to 75% for 4'-haloacetophenones (where X = F, Cl, and Br) and 4'-nitroacetophenone. These results demonstrate that (Quercus ilex L).fruits from northern Algeria can serve as effective biocatalysts in the reduction of aromatic ketones to their corresponding alcohols. This approach not only supports the sustainable production of pharmaceuticals but also provides significant health, environmental, economic, and medical benefits.

Published: October 2024

This case describes a 41 year-old female who underwent a robotic-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy in the setting of adenomyosis which was complicated by postoperative vaginal bleeding requiring additional surgical management. She continued to have vaginal bleeding following re-operation and the decision was made to proceed with iliac artery embolization with Interventional Radiology. Following the embolization, the patient’s bleeding was well controlled. While it is well known that uterine artery embolization is an option for management of bleeding for patients with fibroids, there are no current cases reported in the literature of embolization following hysterectomy. This is a unique case with potential clinical impact for future management of postoperative bleeding complications.

Authors: Abtar Asoo Nihad , Abdalla Zhwan Azad , Kareem Ahmed Azad , Ahmed Zheen Aorahman , Aziz Tavga Ahmed
Published: October 2024

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the possible synergistic effect of bezafibrate and ginkgo biloba (GKB) extract on cardiotoxicity induced by doxorubicin. Methods: Thirty rats were allocated into 5 groups: The negative control group was treated daily with 1 ml of distilled water orally by gavage tube; the positive control received doxorubicin 3.7 mg/kg on day 11 for 3 days intraperitoneally; the bezafibrate group received 100mg/kg orally by gavage tube; the GKB group received 60mg/kg orally by gavage tube; and the combination of bezafibrate and GKB group. All the groups received the doxorubicin protocol, with an exception for the negative control. The treatment continued for 14 days. On day 14, blood samples were taken for the measurement of serum levels of troponin, natriuretic peptide, creatine phosphokinase (CPK), IL-6, and total lipid profile. The atherogenic index, cardiac risk, and LDL/HDL ratios were calculated. Cardiac tissues were sent for histopathological analysis. Results: Both bezafibrate and GKB exhibited attenuation of troponin, natriuretic peptides, CPK, IL-6, TG, cardiac risk ratio, and atherogenic index, as well as an increase in HDL levels. However, the combination group showed the greatest effect compared to the positive control group. The histopathological findings supported the biochemical outcomes. Conclusions: Combining GKB extract and bezafibrate protects against cardiac injury by restoring injury markers and IL-6, as well as improving the lipid profile, cardiac risk ratio, and atherogenic index.

Furthermore, In the chemical approach, polyvinylpyrrolidine and ascorbic acid were utilized as reducing agents, and the optical, structural, and antibacterial characteristics of the two versions were investigated. In comparison to the chemical reduction variant (30.38 nm), the particle sizes in the green technique (19.5 nm) were smaller. Comparing green silver nanoparticles to chemically synthesized silver nanoparticles, SEM pictures showed that the former had formed a distinct crystalline shape and were evenly distributed on the surface. Granules constituted the shape of the particles. Additionally, it spreads topically. Whereas the greenly synthesized variant's absorption band was at 280 nm, the chemically synthesized variant's absorption band was at 300 nm. It was demonstrated by spectroscopic data of green silver nanoparticles that they have the capacity to produce and stabilize silver nanoparticles. Chemically produced green silver nanoparticles were also exposed to FTIR analysis to identify active functional groups. Silver particles can also be stabilized by chemically produced silver nanoparticles. To assess the antibacterial activity, the nanoparticle agar diffusion method was employed. The bacteria detected in the medium were Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. In the green form, the bacterial growth inhibition zone was larger and was produced with varying concentrations of 25 ml, 50 ml, 75 ml, and 100 ml, or 13 ml, 10 ml, 9 ml, and 8 ml for Staphylococcus aureus and 15 ml, 12 ml, 10 ml, and 7 ml for E. coli, respectively. Green-produced transcripts exhibited higher antibacterial responses, which were likely caused by the faster rate of nanoparticle stabilization mechanism by organic compounds found in pomegranate fruit peel extract.

This study was designed to find out the effect of cadmium and lead resulting from the impact of the war on Sirte on morphological characteristics of Ricinus communis L. and Eucalyptus globulus labill. Both species were collected from three different sites in Sirte. The first site was exposed to pollution from random construction that of cadmium and lead to the plants. The second site is more polluted with cadmium and lead, whereas the third site is more polluted. The results show that the plants which are more polluted by the effects of war have smaller wrinkled yellow to grey leaves. Plants from the first site were outward appearance without any change, while in the second site the whole plants appeared in a gray color completely covers plants, while in the third site plants appear stunted, white in color, and the leaves are smaller than normal. Current results were shown a significant difference in the amount of cadmium and lead. Levels of lead decreased in Ricinus communis L in the first region compared to second and third sites with (5.34, 1.97, and 2.32 mg/L) respectively. Meanwhile, levels of cadmium were recorded with 0.342, 0.814, and 0.127mg/L in the same species at three sites. The quantities of lead in Eucalyptus globulus were found at 0.165, 0.357, and 2.64mg/L in three regions. While levels of cadmium were found at 0.97, 0.108, and 0.106 mg/L. These results have shown that Ricinus communis L was absorbed more lead, while Eucalyptus globulus was absorbed more cadmium.

Published: October 2024

The depositional environment and high-order stratigraphic architecture of the Eocene Dernah Formation in N Cyrenaica Promontory, NE Libya, were interpreted through detailed sedimentary facies and sequence stratigraphic analyses of four measured sections located several kilometers apart. Five distinct lithofacies were delineated based on variations in lithology, grain composition, fossil content, texture, color, and stacking pattern. Dernah Formation mainly contains nummulitic limestone with a noticeable amount of Discocyclina and rare gastropods. The extraordinary presence of Nummulites indicates shallow-marine carbonate settings, perhaps a Nummulite bank environment, where the reworking of sediments by wave- or tide-induced currents and storms is high. Two complete fifth-order depositional sequences were defined. Each sequence was subdivided into a transgressive and a regressive hemicycle based on the vertical lithological variation and stacking pattern of facies. We conclude that each sequence may have formed as a result of a fifth-order sea-level cycle. This study reconstructs a three-dimensional model for the Nummulite bank environment in the Mediterranean region, which can serve as an analog for similar depositional systems elsewhere.

Published: October 2024

Thiamine, a water-soluble vitamin termed vitamin B1, is found in several pharmaceutical and nutritional products. In this study, the standard aqueous solution of thiamine was exposed to a variety of circumstances, including UV radiation for 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 minutes, temperatures of 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 °C, and concentrations of 1%, 5%, and 10% hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. Its degradation is being examined with a UV spectrophotometer. Thiamine is UV-sensitive after 5 minutes, has a slight effect at temperatures up to 45 °C, and is unstable at different acid and basic concentrations. Such methods can be used to investigate the stress-induced degradation of thiamine.
