An organ with high metabolic activity, adipose tissue secretes a variety of adipocytokines that control the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates and advance insulin resistance (IR). It is currently unclear what pathophysiological mechanism underlies PCOS. In most cases, IR and metabolic abnormalities coexist with PCOS, a chronic endocrine and metabolic illness. Prompt identification and intervention aid in enhancing patients' quality of life while delaying the development of associated issues. Adipokine clusterin (encoded by CLU) is new. Diabetes and obesity-related populations have higher serum clusterin levels. In order to establish a foundation for early PCOS screening, diagnosis, and therapy, the current study examined variations in serum CLU levels in PCOS patients along with their relationships to sex hormones and metabolic markers. A case-control study design consisting of ninety newly diagnosed PCOS patients of ages ranging between (18-42) years have been recruited according to the Rotterdam criteria of PCOS diagnosis. To compare the results, 90 apparently healthy women of age were matched with the patients' group as a control group. Serum clusterin, fasting insulin (FIN), and fertile hormones have been measured in sera using the enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA) technique. An independent t-test analysis was performed on the data. Pearson correlation was utilized to evaluate the relationship between the variables. It was found that the PCOS patients had considerably greater serum CLU (41.672± 3.85 vs. 28.5845± 3.01 μg/ml, P < 0.001) than healthy women. A multiple stepwise linear regression analysis showed that HOMA-IR was separately linked with BMI, and HOMA-IR were independently associated with CLU (P < 0.05). Serum CLU exhibited a positive connection (P < 0.05) with BMI, FSG, FINS, and HOMA-IR. Serum CLU in the PCOS group correlated well with TG, CLU, HOMA-IR, FSH, FSG, and FINS. The PCOS women group significantly outperformed the fertile, healthy women group regarding BMI, LH, FSH, FSG, FIN, HOMA-IR, TC, TG, and LDL-C levels. They also had lower levels of HDL-C and QUICKI values. Additionally, serum clustrein levels. 31.68 A cut-off value of CLU as a marker for diagnosing PCOS with a sensitivity of 90.0% and a specificity of 87.5% (AUC: P value = ˂0.0001, 0.887-1.000.
Local governance role in provincial development in Vietnam
Authors: Quynh Nguyen Huy
Published: September 2024

Improving public governance efficiency and effectiveness plays an important role in economic development. But research shows this relationship to be highly dependent on the country context. This paper analyzes the role of local governance on provincial economic development in Vietnam. Results show that the good governance has a positive relationship with the economic size of provinces andper capita income and contributes to poverty reduction. If the local governace index increases by 10%, the per capita income will increase by 4.38% and the poverty rate will decrease by 8%. Analysis also shows that control of corruption, grassroot citizen participation, accountability and transparency, and improvement of public administrative procedures impact poverty reduction, with corruption control having a negative correlation coefficient. Thus, effectiveness of local governance correlates with provincial economic developmentin Vietnam.

In crisis situations, it is essential to increase representative democracy by structuring communities as tools to encourage citizen participation. For this reason, the research aimed to understand the reality of citizens and the processes of citizen participation mechanisms during the national crisis. It was a qualitative study that was based on phenomenological hermeneutics and identified six community leaders who are social actors in the city of Puno. The results demonstrated that the role of the community leader as an expression of the emotions of all citizens and the importance of community organization as a means of citizen participation are crucial to advance towards the construction of a strong and popular democracy. In conclusion, it is essential to have citizen participation mechanisms in times of crisis, as they allow communities that have traditionally been neglected to be heard and given a voice.
Challenges in mastering academic writing: a case study of English language learners at the university for business and technology
Authors: Lama Alma , Suhodolli Mirsad
Published: September 2024

This research investigates the problems students of the English Language Faculty at the University for Business and Technology face and proposes certain remedies for academic writing. The paper will try to identify the areas in academic writing that are problematic and detect whether the current strategies of instruction are workable or not and, thus, whether specific improvements are needed. It tries to analyze, namely, the issues EFL students encounter with the writing process, language proficiency, and integration of critical thinking and research during three academic years. In this light, a combination of two methods has been applied for a comprehensive assessment. Data collection is done through the administration of questionnaires to 60 students in their first, second, and third-year levels in the English Language Program. The questionnaire probes into information on the experiences and perceptions of the students concerning their difficulties in academic writing. It also consists of the collection of qualitative data by interviewing six professors of the English Language at UBT about their perceptions of teaching difficulties and the efficiency of currently applied pedagogical approaches. Geographically, the scope of the study is UBT; it will exclusively consider the English Language Program and its related teaching methodologies. Preliminary findings reveal that academic writing does pose numerous problems: in language proficiency, integration of critical thinking, and efficiency through current teaching methodology. The students point to their difficulty in the development of academic writing competencies, while professors emphasize weaknesses in instructional strategies that impede the student's progress. This study, therefore, recommends corrective development in teaching methods and support structures to impact the academic writing competence of EFL students at UBT. Areas have been identified in which current practice is failing, together with recommendations of ways in which instructional methods might be refined. These findings from the research provide the necessary insight for educators here at UBT in terms of teaching methodology and support mechanisms. Addressing identified issues and incorporating proposed improvements will go a long way toward enhancing EFL students' overall academic writing skills for improving their academic standing and enhancing their learning experiences.

Authors: Duailibe João Bruno Beretta , Viau Cassiana Macagnan , Saffi Jenifer , Fernandes Sabrina Alves , Porawski Marilene
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is the most prevalent form of acute kidney injury in cirrhotic patients. It is characterized by reduced renal blood flow and represents the most severe complication in cirrhotic patients with advanced disease. Previous research has indicated that antioxidants can delay the onset of a hyperdynamic circulatory state in cirrhosis and improve renal function in HRS patients. Regular omega-3 supplementation has significantly reduced the risk of liver disease. This supplementation could represent an additional therapy for individuals with HRS.

AIM

To evaluated the antioxidant effect of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation on the kidneys of cirrhotic rats.

METHODS

Secondary biliary cirrhosis was induced in rats by biliary duct ligation (BDL) for 28 d. We used 24 male Wistar rats divided into the following groups: I (control); II (treated with omega-3, 1 g/kg of body weight); III (BDL treated with omega-3, 1 g/kg of body weight); and IV (BDL without treatment). The animals were killed by overdose of anesthetic; the kidneys were dissected, removed, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored in a freezer at -80℃ for later analysis. We evaluated oxidative stress, nitric oxide (NO) metabolites, DNA damage by the comet assay, cell viability test, and apoptosis in the kidneys. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance, and means were compared using the Tukey test, with P ≤ 0.05.

RESULTS

Omega-3 significantly decreased the production of reactive oxygen species (P < 0.001) and lipoperoxidation in the kidneys of cirrhotic rats treated with omega-3 (P < 0.001). The activity of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase increased in the BDL+omega-3 group compared to the BDL group (P < 0.01). NO production, DNA damage, and caspase-9 cleavage decreased significantly in the omega-3-treated BDL group. There was an increase in mitochondrial electrochemical potential (P < 0.001) in BDL treated with omega-3 compared to BDL. No changes in the cell survival index in HRS with omega-3 compared to the control group (P > 0.05) were observed.

CONCLUSION

The study demonstrates that omega-3 can protect cellular integrity and function by increasing antioxidant enzymes, inhibiting the formation of free radicals, and reducing apoptosis.
Quality of life and psychological distress in end-stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis and transplantation
Authors: Shdaifat Emad A , Abu-Sneineh Firas T , Ibrahim Abdallah M
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

Among diverse profound impacts on patients’ quality of life (QoL), end-stage renal disease (ESRD) frequently results in increased levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. Renal replacement therapies such as hemodialysis (HD) and transplantation (TX) are intended to enhance QoL, although their ability to alleviate psychological distress remains uncertain. This research posits the existence of a significant correlation between negative emotional states and QoL among ESRD patients, with varying effects observed in HD and TX patients.

AIM

To examine the relationship between QoL and negative emotional states (depression, anxiety, and stress) and predicted QoL in various end-stage renal replacement therapy patients with ESRD.

METHODS

This cross-sectional study included HD or TX patients in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia. The 36-item Short Form Survey and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) was used for data collection, and correlation and regression analyses were performed.

RESULTS

The HD and TX transplantation groups showed statistically significant inverse relationships between QoL and DASS scores. HD patients with high anxiety levels and less education scored low on the physical component summary (PCS). In addition, the results of the mental component summary (MCS) were associated with reduced depression. Compared with older transplant patients, TX patients’ PCS scores were lower, and depression, stress, and negative working conditions were highly correlated with MCS scores.

CONCLUSION

The findings of this study revealed notable connections between well-being and mental turmoil experienced by individuals undergoing HD and TX. The PCS of HD patients is affected by heightened levels of anxiety and lower educational attainment, while the MCS of transplant patients is influenced by advancing age and elevated stress levels. These insights will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of patient support.

Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND
Drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) remains a major public health threat. In 2022, Uzbekistan reported 2,117 cases of DR-TB, with 69% tested for fluoroquinolone resistance. Limited information is available on the prevalence of resistance to
bedaquiline, linezolid, and fluoroquinolone, which are key components of the all-oral treatment regimen for rifampicin-resistant TB in Uzbekistan.

METHODS
A retrospective study was conducted using extensive programmatic data from 2019
to 2023 in Uzbekistan. We assessed second-line drug-resistant TB (SLDR-TB) rates using phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (pDST). Demographic and clinical characteristics associated with SLDR-TB were analysed using multivariable logistic regression models based on the Allen-Cady approach.

RESULTS
In
total, 2,405 patients with TB who had undergone pDST were included (median age 40 years, 47% female). The overall SLDR-TB resistance rate was 24% (95% CI 22–26). Prevalence of resistance to bedaquiline, linezolid, moxifloxacin, levofloxacin, and amikacin were respectively 3.1%, 0.8%,
15%, 13%, and 12%. Risk factors for SLDR-TB were resistance to rifampicin and/or isoniazid, exposure to clofazimine, retreatment status, contact with drug-susceptible TB case or DR-TB case, and diabetes.

CONCLUSIONS
The high prevalence
of SLDR-TB is of major concern, emphasising the need for baseline pDST in RR-TB treatment. Identified risk factors can aid early detection of at-risk individuals and inform clinical practice.

Published: September 2024

A batata-doce (Ipomeia batatas (L.) Lam.), planta originária da América Central e do Sul, é uma hortaliça muito popular no Brasil, cultivada em todo território nacional, principalmente nas regiões Sul e Nordeste. O uso de adubos orgânicos é uma alternativa que pode ser adota pelos produtores no cultivo de batata-doce, por apresentar quantidades significativas de nutrientes. A utilização de adubos orgânicos de origem animal é considerada uma prática útil e econômica para os produtores de hortaliças, pois, favorece a fertilidade e a conservação do solo. Desta forma, objetivou-se avaliar a produtividade comercial e total da batata-doce na produção de batata-doce biofortificada ‘Beauregard’ em função de doses crescentes de esterco bovino. O estudo foi conduzido no período de fevereiro a julho de 2020, na área experimental do Centro de Ciências de Chapadinha da Universidade Federal do Maranhão, Brasil. Foi utilizado o delineamento de blocos ao acaso, com 6 tratamentos e 5 repetições, sendo as doses: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 e 50 Mg ha-1 de esterco bovino. Foram avaliadas as características agronômicas da cultura: massa fresca e seca da parte aérea, massa fresca e seca das raízes tuberosas, número de raízes comerciais e danos causados por insetos. A massa seca da parte aérea e o comprimento das raízes tuberosas variaram significativamente com a aplicação do esterco bovino, no entanto não se obteve um incremento da massa dos tubérculos. Sob as condições do estudo, o uso de doses crescentes de esterco bovino não impacta na produtividade da batata-doce.

Given the growing demand for grains cultivation in the off-season, an experiment was conducted to evaluate grain yield and nutrient accumulation in straw, straw production, and decomposition of pearl millet varieties and hybrids cultivated at different sowing times in off-season in the municipality of Rio Verde, state of Goiás. This was a randomized block experimental design, with four replications and four planting times. The work was carried out on an Oxisol, using two forage varieties, ADR300 and ADR500, the dual-purpose pearl millet hybrid ADR8010 for grain and biomass production, and two grain hybrids, ADR9010 and ADR 9020. The accumulation of macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulfur) was quantified in the straw at grain harvest. Hybrids ADR 9010 and ADR 9020 had the highest grain yield in the first season, with 2,626 and 2,425 kg ha-1, respectively, while the ADR 9010 hybrid showed the highest accumulation of macronutrients (except phosphorus) in the straw. Hybrid ADR 9010 is the best option for planting in the off-season with the objective of grain production, with high biomass production and accumulation of nutrients in the straw.

A noção de corporativismo em Oliveira Vianna
Authors: Fontana Felipe
Published: September 2024

Este artigo explora a concepção de corporativismo de Oliveira Vianna, destacando sua visão sobre a modernização do Brasil e a organização política do Estado Brasileiro. Analisamos, para isso, o diagnóstico vianniano sobre a formação da sociedade brasileira, enfatizando as raízes coloniais e a influência do latifúndio, que resultaram em uma sociedade marcada pelo patriarcalismo e pelo “espírito de clã”. Essas características, segundo Vianna, impediram o desenvolvimento de uma modernidade impessoal e burocrática no Brasil. O intelectual brasileiro argumenta que o corporativismo, como estratégia político-organizativa, é adequado para enfrentar os desafios à modernização do país, especialmente no contexto pós-Revolução de 1930. Ele vê o Estado como um reflexo da sociedade, devendo adaptar-se às especificidades culturais, morais e sociais do povo brasileiro. A proposta vianniana sugere que o Estado deve agir para desintegrar os “complexos de feudo e clã” e promover a organização política voltada ao bem público, possibilitando a inclusão dos trabalhadores emergentes na vida social, econômica e política do país: reside aqui a proposição de Corporativismo de Oliveira Vianna.

In Brazil, with a high prevalence of this condition, the use of VADs offers a significant hope of survival and improvement in quality of life. However, the use of these devices is associated with several significant complications, including infections, thrombosis, bleeding, device dysfunction, and neurological complications. This study explores these complications and the strategies to mitigate them, integrating the national and international literature. The review highlights the need for protocols adapted to local conditions, the importance of personalized anticoagulation and continuous monitoring, and suggests the implementation of advanced technologies and evidence-based practices to improve clinical outcomes. The conclusion of the study is that while VADs represent a vital solution for patients with advanced heart failure, it is critical to carefully manage the associated complications to ensure the safety and efficacy of treatment. Integrating evidence-based practices and adapting to local contexts are essential to optimize care and improve patients' quality of life.

The research investigates the importance of family collaboration in the school inclusion of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The objective was to understand how family support can facilitate the adaptation of these students to the school environment. Using a literature review methodology on the SciELO, Web Of Science and Google Scholar platforms, the research revealed that the active involvement of families is essential for the personalization of teaching and the creation of a more inclusive learning environment. The results showed that the families' knowledge about the needs and preferences of autistic students helps in the adaptation of pedagogical strategies and promotes greater consistency between what is taught at school and practiced at home. In addition, open communication between parents and educators is crucial for identifying challenges and developing joint solutions, positively impacting students' emotional well-being and their motivation to learn. The research concludes that family collaboration is an essential pillar for a more effective and inclusive education, benefiting both students and the school community by promoting a more understanding and respectful approach to ASD.

The main objective of this work is to address the inclusion of people with hearing impairment (PCDA) in the school environment, dimensioning its legal and practical aspects, from the perspective of the Theory of Social Representations. Based on this theory, it is possible to conclude that the changes that occurred in the Brazilian legislation, with the purpose of including them in schools on equal terms with other students, constitute changes that occur in the legal sphere, without altering the stability of the nucleus of formation of the social representations referred to, shared in the interactive and communicational processes of daily life and over time, which continue to be based on incapacity, inability and disqualification to occupy collective spaces. This is a qualitative research, of bibliographic and documentary nature. In the development of the study, the school is pointed out as a dynamic, plural space that welcomes differences. Then, these subjects and the school inclusion movement are characterized, as well as the representations that permeate this process, concluding that, despite the change in legal status, they continue to be represented in the same way, from the perspective of disability, in the school environment.

Introduction: As it is the largest organ in the body, the skin is more exposed to solar radiation, body changes as well as genetics. The skin covers the body and acts as a physical barrier between the body and the outside environment and represents about 16% of body weight. Because the skin is an organ with numerous functions, it is exposed to structural changes that are easily perceived by the naked eye, including stretch marks. For a better understanding, we need to understand that the elastic fibers of the skin are the starting point for the formation of stretch marks. Methodology: This is a scoping review where descriptors in Health Sciences - DeCS were used. The descriptors of interest and Boolean operators were: "Therapeutic AND "Skin Lesions (stretch marks)". The search was carried out in the PubMed, Scielo and Bireme databases by these databases provide a broad search combining information from other platforms, using 19 relevant articles. Results: There are treatments that can treat and reduce this problem and include micropuncture, microdermabrasion, microneedling, carboxytherapy as well as the combination of treatments, which must be performed by trained professionals due to their specificities. Final considerations: Stretch marks are acquired integumentary lesions and, like any scar, can be considered a difficult treatment. However, with the current advancement of techniques, there are several aesthetic treatments that are performed, however, there is no scientific proof of their effectiveness for the total disappearance of stretch marks and, as it is a genetic predisposition, prevention includes both the maintenance of the ideal weight and good skin hydration.

Christian Goldbach was a Russian mathematician who lived in the eighteenth century. Although he saw mathematics more as a hobby, he published several works on Number Theory. It is in one of his correspondences with Euler that his conjecture arises, which states that every even number greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers (equal or not). Despite having a very simple statement, its demonstration requires advanced mathematical knowledge, so much so that to this day it remains without a definitive proof. Obviously, several mathematicians have devoted many years of their lives to the study of Goldbach's conjecture. In this sense, the objective of this research is to list the advances achieved by such mathematicians over time. In addition, we will seek to better understand the historical context in which the conjecture arises. In the end, we will try to highlight the most significant results that at first can be the basis for further research.
