New Inscriptions from Aizanoi
Authors: Türkan Ahmet , Corsten Thomas
Published: May 2024

Aizanoi, located within the borders of modern village of Çavdarhisar, had been founded as a Pergamene colony in the Hellenistic Period and became an important polis of Western Asia Minor under the Roman rule. Territory of the city covers Örencik Plain which is irrigated by Kocasu (Penkalas) Stream and once called as Aizanitis. This article presents seven tombstones reused on the quay walls which were identified during excavations conducted around the Penkalas River in years 2018, 2019, 2020 under the directorship of Prof. Dr. Elif Özer. The first five inscriptions are bomoi, while inscriptions no. 7 and no. 8 stelai. No. 6, unlike the others, was found in the northern necropolis of the city. No.1 is an epigram for a young man, Iulianus who identified poetically as kind to Muses and Herakles. No. 2 is erected by Ephesis and Amias for their father Agathas. No. 3. is erected by a guild for its member, scutulae-maker Zosimos from Sardis. No. 4. is fragment of a bomos. No. 5. erected by Apellas, Trophimos and Aleksandros for their father Agathas. No. 7. is erected for Demetrios by his brothers, a cult servant and an oikonomos. No. 8 is erected by Menekles and Theodoros but deceased’s name is missing.
Épitaphes paléochrétiennes et médiévales d’Eğri Taş kilisesi à Ihlara en Cappadoce
Authors: Xenaki Maria
Published: May 2024

The Eğri Taş kilisesi complex is located on the right bank of Melendiz Suyu, in the Ihlara Valley in Cappadocia. Excavated in the rock at the foot of the cliff which looms over the river, it is centered around a church dedicated to Theotokos and decorated between 921 and 927, in the reign of Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus, Romanus 1st Lecapenus and his son Christophorus. Apart from the painted church, Eğri Taş also includes several burial spaces where twenty-four funerary inscriptions are preserved to this day. These inscriptions, poorly known for the most part and only incompletely published, can provide with material of considerable importance for the study of Christian funerary epigraphy. In this article I present a new edition of these epitaphs, based on a long research project involving in situ deciphering and reexamination, carried out over three fieldwork trips to the region in 2006, 2012 and 2019. This epigraphic fieldwork led me to correct and/or complete readings of eleven inscriptions known from previous editions and to identify thirteen unpublished ones. It also enabled me to date the inscriptions into two periods which correspond to the main phases of occupation of the site: one group is late antique, probably from the 6th century, the other being medieval, dating from the 9th-10th and 11th centuries.

Improvement of Aerodynamic Performance of NACA 2412 Airfoil using Active and Passive Control Techniques
Authors: T. Paramesh , Tenzin Tshering , Sarwar Mohammad , Azizi Ahmad Mujeeb , Getaneh Habte , Jana Tamal
Published: May 2024

The study of aerodynamic characteristics plays a crucial role in the design and performance evaluation of various airfoil profiles. In this study, a comprehensive investigation of the modified NACA 2412 airfoil has been carried out, focusing on its aerodynamic characteristics and performance. To improve the aerodynamic characteristics and to delay the stall, active and passive control techniques are introduced. The computational investigation is carried out using commercial software Ansys Fluent. Especially, the Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equation is numerically computed employing the K-omega SST turbulence model. The active control is implemented using four microjets, each having diameters of 3 mm, 4 mm, and 5 mm, placed upstream of the flow separation location of the uncontrolled airfoil. The jet exit velocity is maintained the same as the freestream flow velocity. For each case, the tangential orientations of the jets are varied from 2 to 10 degrees with an increment of 2 degrees. Besides, the impact of jet separation distance is also evaluated. On the other hand, the passive control method is introduced by deploying vortex generators (VG) with varying heights of 2 mm, 3 mm, and 4 mm, placed upstream of the separation location. Aerodynamic characteristics, including Lift, Drag, and Stall angle, are measured to assess performance. The study reveals that microjets with a diameter of 5 mm at a 2-degree tangential orientation perform best with a maximum of 11.33% increase in lift coefficient (Cl). For all the three sizes of microjets, the drag coefficients (Cd) are minimum for 2-degree tangential orientation. Besides, the vortex generator of height 2 mm demonstrates superior performance with a maximum of 4% increase in lift coefficient. For both cases, the stall angle of the airfoil is delayed by 28.57%. In addition, except 2mm height of the vortex generator, all other vortex generators lead to an increase in drag coefficient. Importantly, the microjets are proved to be more efficient than the vortex generator in delaying the flow separation thereby reducing the drag and increasing the aerodynamic efficiency of the airfoil.

Authors: Reisinho João , Pissarro Margarida , Frias Ana
Published: May 2024

Este capítulo fala acerca da avaliação do bem-estar materno-fetal e diagnóstico pré-natal, temas importantes no que concerne à prática da enfermagem em saúde materna e obstétrica. A vigilância do bem-estar materno-fetal assume um dos principais objetivos dos cuidados prestados em obstetrícia, sendo que o enfermeiro especialista em enfermagem de saúde materna e obstetrícia detém a competência de cuidar da mulher e respetiva família durante o trabalho de parto e pós-parto. A avaliação do bem-estar materno-fetal permite identificar, precocemente, fatores de risco que podem contribuir para eventos adversos no feto. O método mais utilizado é a monitorização eletrónica fetal, através da cardiotocografia (CTG). É fundamental descrever alguns aspetos quanto à utilização da CTG, nomeadamente a correta colocação dos transdutores, o posicionamento da grávida, a definição das características da CTG e o sistema de classificação, de modo que todos os profissionais de saúde se rejam pelas mesmas orientações. O diagnóstico pré-natal incide sobre o diagnóstico de anomalias fetais in útero e está indicado quando decisões acerca da orientação da gravidez dependem diretamente do esclarecimento de informação acerca do feto. Pode ser obtido através de métodos de rastreio ou diagnósticos, que podem ser invasivos ou não, o que permite uma decisão, por parte do casal, baseada em dados objetivos. Este trabalho teve como objetivo rever conceitos e estruturar o pensamento quanto aos temas supracitados, permitindo uma prática baseada na evidência, que garante a avaliação do bem-estar materno-fetal de maneira eficaz e um melhor conhecimento e atualização acerca de novos métodos de diagnóstico pré-natal.

A utilização e a administração de fármacos e de vacinas durante a gravidez, têm ao longo dos anos levantado diversas dúvidas. Se por um lado encontramos quem os utilize de forma inapropriada, não tendo em conta a sua teratogénese, por outro, e na maioria das vezes, verifica-se que existe preocupação na toma da medicação e baixa adesão à administração de vacinas. Esta ansiedade e incerteza é evidenciada nas mulheres grávidas, porém também por muitos profissionais de saúde. O objetivo deste capítulo é elucidar as mulheres grávidas ou que pretendam engravidar, aquelas que engravidaram inadvertidamente e os profissionais de saúde, sobre quais os fármacos e vacinas seguros e compatíveis com esta fase vital da mulher. De forma a tentar colmatar estas lacunas e garantir uma melhor assistência às mulheres grávidas, deve-se continuar o investimento baseado na evidência científica. A utilização de fármacos e adesão à vacinação na gravidez deve recair em decisões informadas e esclarecedoras, desmistificando receios e medos infundados, contribuindo assim para o bem-estar materno-fetal.

A importância dos cuidados de saúde materna é inimaginável. Um dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável das Nações Unidas consiste em reduzir a taxa de mortalidade materna e fetal. Ao dar ênfase à prevenção, à identificação dos fatores de risco e aos cuidados de qualidade durante a gravidez, o parto e o pós-parto, este objetivo será cada vez mais alcançado. A avaliação do risco gestacional deve ser realizada através de escalas de risco específicas, como a escala de Goodwin modificada, nas consultas pré-concepcionais. Nestas consultas, o Enfermeiro Especialista em Saúde Materna e Obstétrica será responsável durante todo o período gestacional por avaliar individualmente o possível risco a que a grávida está sujeita. A figura deste profissional de saúde desempenha um papel crucial na orientação das atividades, adaptando-as aos diferentes níveis de risco para a avaliação de um plano de intervenção. As intervenções de enfermagem durante as intercorrências na gravidez devem abordar as dimensões física, emocional e social, a fim de criar uma relação de empatia, garantindo um ambiente de confidencialidade na ausência de julgamentos de valor ou críticas.

A gravidez requer uma grande adaptação e modificação a nível fisiológico e emocional. O consumo de substâncias lícitas e ilícitas tem vindo a aumentar nas mulheres em idade fértil, tornando-se comum nas mulheres grávidas, no entanto o consumo por parte destas continua altamente estigmatizado, motivo pelo qual estas tendem a ocultar o seu consumo aquando da utilização dos serviços de saúde. Neste contexto, as mulheres grávidas apresentam uma maior vulnerabilidade e consequentemente, os recém-nascidos de mães consumidoras de substâncias lícitas e ilícitas apresentam um maior risco de complicações. Sabe-se que a mulher grávida consome em conjunto diversas substâncias o que aumenta o risco de aborto, de restrição do crescimento intrauterino, parto pré-termo, rotura prematura das membranas, descolamento da placenta, necessidade de internamento em cuidados intensivos neonatais e provoca morbilidade/mortalidade perinatal. O objetivo deste capítulo é entender quais os efeitos do uso de tabaco, álcool e outras drogas na mulher grávida e no desenvolvimento do feto. É de destacar a importância tanto da consulta pré-concecional como também da consulta pré-natal, com o objetivo de identificar fatores de risco modificáveis e promover a sua minimização ou eliminação, de modo a reduzir os efeitos maternos, neonatais e infantis adversos do consumo de substâncias.
DESENVOLVIMENTO DA GRAVIDEZ: PADRÃO DE CRESCIMENTO UTERINO
Authors: Galhanas Ana , Frias Ana
Published: May 2024

A gravidez assume-se como um período de grandes transformações e adaptações biológicas e psicológicas que variam de mulher para mulher mediante a idade gestacional. O primeiro trimestre é marcado por grandes alterações hormonais. É no segundo trimestre que se torna mais evidente o crescimento uterino, tornando-se possível observar com mais detalhe as mudanças corporais. O terceiro trimestre é assinalado por questões psicológicas de adaptação ligadas ao parto e puerpério. O crescimento uterino deve-se à rápida hipertrofia das células miometriais para dar resposta ao produto da conceção. O crescimento uterino pode ser relacionado, diretamente, com o desenvolvimento fetal, estando o mesmo dependente de fatores genéticos, hormonais, nutricionais e ambientais. A avaliação do crescimento uterino é realizada com base na medição da altura uterina, através da medição desde a sínfise púbica ao fundo uterino. O resultado da avaliação é equiparado à curva da avaliação do crescimento fetal, posicionando-se de acordo com a idade gestacional

A suinocultura brasileira ocupa lugar de destaque no cenário do agronegócio mundial, respondendo pela quarta maior produção e exportação de carne suína. O melhoramento genético, com vistas à produtividade de matrizes suínas em uma granja comercial é de extrema importância, visto que interfere diretamente na lucratividade do plantel. Assim sendo, quando identificadas, as menos produtivas devem ser descartadas. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi analisar as causas de descarte de matrizes suínas de acordo com a ordem de parição destas fêmeas. Para a realização deste experimento, foram coletados dados de 47.905 matrizes suínas, pertencentes a granjas comerciais UPL’S localizadas nos estados do RS, SC, PR e MT. Ao analisar levantamentos, podemos identificar que a principal causa de descarte está relacionada a falhas reprodutivas no Mato Grosso, sendo o principal motivo repetição ao cio, à idade elevada no Rio Grande do Sul e no Paraná, e em Santa Catarina à baixa produtividade, tendo a metrite como principal fator. E as taxas de remoção do plantel obedeceram a uma média que ficou entre 39,89 e 51,69%, taxas estas dentre as preconizadas para a atividade. As remoções ocorreram principalmente entre o terceiro e quarto parto em todos os estados analisados.
Educação sobre drogas em instituição formal de ensino
Authors: Guimarães Sueli A
Published: May 2024

Este trabalho científico foi registrado sob a forma de dois capítulos. O primeiro teve como objetivo específico investigar o discurso de professores do ensino médio sobre a prevenção escolar do uso de drogas psicotrópicas, sendo que, para tanto, foi necessário: relacionar conceitos e princípios construídos e publicados por especialistas e adotar uma visão humanizadora da prevenção do uso de drogas. O instrumento de coleta de dados utilizado foi a entrevista semiestruturada, a qual foi aplicada com três professores que atenderam aos seguintes requisitos: vínculo trabalhista efetivo; maior tempo de serviço na unidade escolar e maior número de reclamações à direção da unidade escolar. O segundo artigo, por sua vez, teve como escopo mapear práticas educativas de professores, do ensino médio, do colégio público X, que têm por finalidade a prevenção ao uso de drogas; de modo que identificou o comprometimento e a percepção dos educadores acerca da prevenção e relacionou os indicadores do problema no ambiente escolar e as ações que os professores desenvolvem em sala de aula. Neste, os instrumentos de coleta de dados utilizados foram dois questionários: um misto e outro aberto, os quais foram aplicados com dez professores que atenderam aos seguintes requisitos: vínculo trabalhista efetivo e maior tempo de serviço na unidade escolar. A realização da entrevista num primeiro momento para, em seguida, acontecer a aplicação dos questionários foi muito importante ao convencimento de que o estudo que estava sendo realizado era necessário e coerente, pois um instrumento consolidou o outro, apesar de terem pertencido a artigos diferentes. Os dois artigos/capítulos tratam da prevenção do uso de drogas a partir do interior de cada ser, de dentro pra fora, e considerando o desenvolvimento integral do ser, a sua complexidade. Não se pretende achar “receita” ou solução para as informações e compreensões obtidas sobre o Colégio X, todavia, aponta-se para a prática pedagógica ocupada com o que realmente importa no processo educacional, a fim de que a prevenção saia do artificialismo e se dê de forma consciente. Neste sentido, está feito o convite à leitura e reflexão acerca da prática educativa de prevenção ao uso de drogas, a partir do Colégio X, especificamente, no ensino de nível médio, momento em que se exige do ser aprendiz uma participação efetiva na sociedade, a qual, certamente, não prescinde do despertamento e do desenvolvimento da consciência.

This image presentation discusses the emergency case of a 32-year-old mentally retarded male patient with respiratory distress caused by the ingestion of an unidentified foreign body. Despite the parents being unaware of the ingested object, a cervical CT scan revealed a foreign body in the esophagus at the first level of the thoracic vertebra level. Esophagoscopy, using a mesh snare and tripod, proved unsuccessful in removing an entire walnut shell. The procedure was then shifted to a rigid bronchoscope, successfully extracting the esophageal foreign body without any postoperative complications. This case highlights challenges in managing esophageal foreign body aspirations, especially in non-cooperative patients.

Nanoflares are thought to be one of the prime candidates that can heat the solar corona to its multimillion kelvin temperature. Individual nanoflares are difficult to detect with the present generation of instruments, but their presence can be inferred by comparing simulated nanoflare-heated plasma emissions with the observed emission. Using HYDRAD coronal loop simulations, we model the emission from an X-ray bright point (XBP) observed by the Marshall Grazing Incidence X-ray Spectrometer (MaGIXS), along with the nearest available observations from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the X-Ray Telescope (XRT) on board the Hinode observatory. The length and magnetic field strength of the coronal loops are derived from the linear force-free extrapolation of the observed photospheric magnetogram by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager on board SDO. Each loop is assumed to be heated by random nanoflares, whose magnitude and frequency are determined by the loop length and magnetic field strength. The simulation results are then compared and matched against the measured intensity from AIA, XRT, and MaGIXS. Our model results indicate the observed emission from the XBP under study could be well matched by a distribution of nanoflares with average delay times 1500–3000 s. Further, we demonstrate the high sensitivity of MaGIXS and XRT for diagnosing the heating frequency using this method, while AIA passbands are found to be the least sensitive.

We characterize the Magellanic Corona, the warm gaseous halo around the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The Corona is a key ingredient in the formation of the Magellanic Stream and has recently been observed in high-ion absorption around the LMC. In this work, we present a suite of high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations to constrain its total mass and temperature prior to the infall of the Magellanic Clouds to our Galaxy. We find that the LMC is able to host a stable Corona before and during its approach to the MW through to the present day. With a Magellanic Corona of >2 × 109
M
⊙ at 3 × 105 K, our simulations can reproduce the observed total mass of the neutral and ionized components of the Trailing Stream, the size of the LMC disk, the ionization fractions along the Stream, the morphology of the neutral gas, and the on-sky extent of the ionized gas. The Corona plays an integral role in the survival, morphology, and composition of the Magellanic Clouds and the Trailing Stream.

Ecological niche models (ENMs) are a powerful tool to predict the spread of invasive alien species (IAS) and support the implementation of actions aiming to reduce the impact of biological invasions. While calibrating ENMs with distribution data from species' native ranges can underestimate the invasion potential due to possible niche shifts, using distribution data combining species’ native and invasive ranges may overestimate the invasion potential due to a reduced fitness and environmental tolerance of species in invaded ranges. An alternative may be using the increasingly available distribution data of IAS as they spread their invaded ranges, to iteratively forecast invasions as they unfold. However, while this approach accounts for possible niche shifts, it may also underestimate the species’ potential range, particularly at the early stages of the invasion when the most suitable conditions may not yet be represented in the distribution range data set. Here, we evaluate the capacity of ENMs to forecast the distribution of IAS based on distribution data on invaded ranges as these data become available. We further use dispersion models to assess the expansion process using the predicted potential distributions. Specifically, we used the common waxbill (Estrilda astrild) in the Iberian Peninsula as a model system. We built ENMs with 10x10km grid cells distribution records cumulatively for each decade from 1960 to 2019, and yearly bioclimatic variables, to forecast the species potential range in the coming decades. Then, we assessed the performance of the models for each decade in forecasting the species observed range expansion in the following decades and evaluated how the number of distribution records determined the quality of the forecasts. Finally, we performed dispersal estimates (based on species traits, topography, climate and land cover) to analyse the prediction capacity of models as their uncertainty may be reduced when projecting them to the next decades. Our results show that invasion-only ENMs successfully forecasted the species’ range expansion over three decades after invasion, while dispersion models were not important in forecasting common waxbill expansion. Our study highlights the importance of constantly monitoring alien species, suggesting that iterative updating of ENMs with observed distribution data may accurately forecast the range expansion of alien species.

The monospecific genus Tartessiberus was described in the year 2021 including a single species (T. cilbanus). However, its description relied solely on morphological and anatomical data. In the present work, we use a fraction of the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI), 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) and the nuclear large ribosomal subunit (LSU) to clarify its validity through phylogenetic positioning. Knowledge of the distribution of this species is also improved by citing new locations and expanding the geographical range to approximately 200 km2. Additionally, a morphometric analysis of 259 shells is presented for comparisons with shells of the Iberus marmoratus complex and testing the power of conchological features as a tool for specimen identification. The relatively high conchological variability found for T. cilbanus, together with the discovery of populations with intermediate conchological features between T. cilbanus and other closely related taxa, suggest that the determination of this species should be based on genetic criteria. Our molecular analyses demonstrate that T. cilbanus belongs to the Iberus genus, and thus, we proceed to update its taxonomic status to Iberus cilbanuscomb. nov., and, thus, to consider Tartessiberus from now on as a junior synonym of Iberus.

Bone cancer detection is an essential region of medical analysis but developments in medical imaging and artificial intelligence (AI) are vital. Using approaches, namely deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML), radiologists and medical staff can examine X-ray, CT, and MRI scans to identify bone cancer and abnormalities. These technologies support earlier diagnosis, correct diagnosis, and treatment planning, enhancing patient solutions. The combination of AI-driven image analysis and the knowledge of medical practitioners improves the speed and precision of bone cancer detection, contributing to more effectual clinical activities. DL algorithms, particularly CNNs, are exposed to great performance in image classification tasks and are extremely utilized for medical image analysis. We offer a Hybrid Rice Optimization Algorithm with DL-Assisted Bone Cancer Detection (HROADL-BCD) technique on medical X-ray images. The major intention of the HROADL-BCD method is to examine the X-ray images for the recognition of bone cancer. In the presented HROADL-BCD method, a bilateral filtering (BF) process was performed to remove the noise. To derive feature vectors, the HROADL-BCD technique applied the EfficientNet model. The HROADL-BCD technique involved the HROA for hyperparameter tuning of the EfficientNet model. Last, the bone cancer detection and classification process were executed by the attention-based bidirectional long short-term memory (ABiLSTM) approach. A wide range of simulations could be applied for the simulation result analysis of the HROADL-BCD algorithm. The extensive outcome of the HROADL-BCD approach inferred the superior outcome of 97.62% outcome concerning various aspects.
Exploring Sex Differences in Numerosity Perception Using Dynamic Visual Stimuli: Insights into Cognitive Processing and STEM
Authors: Bend Julia , Öörni Anssi
Published: May 2024

Numerosity perception, the innate ability to estimate the number of objects in a set without counting, plays a crucial role in cognitive science and has implications for addressing sex disparities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Despite its significance, research on sex differences in numerosity perception, particularly in dynamic visual contexts, is still limited. This study aims to address this gap by investigating sex differences in numerosity perception using 3D dynamic stimuli in a dual-task experiment. We found a significant underestimation of numerosity among females, a phenomenon not previously reported in adults. This suggests sex-based variations in numerosity perception, likely linked to differences in spatial cognition. The study also reveals how increased attentional load can negatively affect numerosity estimation, especially in females. Despite the limitation of a small participant group, this pilot research establishes a framework for more extensive future studies to substantiate these findings and deepen our understanding of sex-specific cognitive processing in dynamic environments.

This paper presents an innovative educational approach centered on the use of the game Minecraft to shape attitudes and develop knowledge in young people. The Children’s University summer camps, although they revolve around various subjects, share a common goal: to enhance environmental and safety awareness and foster technological interest among younger generations. These camps enable students from participating elementary schools to learn interactively about key areas such as sustainable energy sources, information protection, and security in buildings. In the virtual realm of Minecraft, players encounter real-life challenges that demand the utilisation of their creativity and problem-solving abilities. The effectiveness of the camps was measured through questionnaire surveys. 33.3% of participants felt the knowledge acquired at the camp was very useful, and 38.9% felt it was useful for their future studies or careers. 55.6% of the participants felt that their problem-solving skills and creativity had greatly improved during the camp, while 27.8% noticed a less significant improvement in these skills. The camps were characterised by an atmosphere of cooperation and openness. The results of questionnaire surveys confirmed the effectiveness of the camps, not only in terms of improving environmental and safety awareness but also in terms of fostering creative work through cooperation.
