Analysis of coatings with Al and Si additives for high-temperature oxidation of steel
Authors: Spalik Mariola
Published: November 2024

The article presents an analysis of the influence of aluminum (Al) and silicon (Si) coating additions on the process of high-temperature oxidation of steel. After high-temperature oxidation of coatings deposited on steel substrates, the oxidation was carried out in an air atmosphere at 800C for 20 hours. The samples were oxidized on one side, i.e. they were placed on a quartz plate during the test. After oxidation, the unit mass increase of the samples was measured using a laboratory scale with an accuracy of 0.00001 g. It was examined how the addition of these elements affects the formation of protective oxide layers that limit corrosion at elevated temperatures. Aluminum contributes to the formation of stable aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) layers, while silicon supports the formation of silicon oxide (SiO₂). Both oxides act as protective barriers, reducing the penetration of oxygen into the material, which slows down its degradation. The appropriate concentration of these admixtures improves the steel's resistance to oxidation without significantly impairing its mechanical properties. The article emphasizes the importance of appropriate selection of Al and Si content to increase the durability of steel in high-temperature operating conditions.

Authors: Rapiejko Anna , Lipiec Piotr
Published: November 2024

Background: The Internet is becoming increasingly important in providing medical knowledge. Students facing such information-rich environment, may not pay adequate attention to appropriate use of information sources. Aim of the study:The study aimed to evaluate the use of Internet for obtaining medical information by high school students (HSS) and medical students (MS), especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.Material and methods:Two anonymous online surveys were distributed through social media among Polish HSS and MS. The questionnaires of 562 HSS and 332 MS, representing 12 medical universities, were analysed.Results:33,7% MS and 12,6% HSS use Internet to obtain medical knowledge several times a day. 63% of all students believe that the COVID-19 pandemic increased this frequency. To accomplish that, 76% MS and 61.6% HSS frequently use search engines. 61% MS and 30,4% HSS often use Wikipedia. News websites are often used by 58.7% HSS and 19,3% MS. Medical databases e.g. PubMed are usually used by 28% MS. Both MS and HSS rated the author's specialty overlapping with the issue as the most important factor affecting the reliability of medical information sources (4.14 and 5.51 points on a 0-5 scale, respectively). 62,4% MS believe medical studies have significantly changed their perception of the credibility of medical knowledge sources. 50% HSS and 42,5% MS, when encountering incorrect medical information, never take any action to clarify it. 87,4% MS and 70% HSS express the need for additional classes on COVID-19 in their school curriculum.Conclusions:The Internet is widely used by HSS and MS as a source of medical knowledge. It is important to emphasize the need to develop the ability to select reliable medical information among users of the virtual world. Students understand the need to evaluate the credibility of sources, however they often do not take any action when confronted with erroneous information.

Authors: Kangel Demet , Nazım Güzelbağ Ali , Baş Serap , Can Hatemi Ali , Cansaran Tanıdır İbrahim
Published: November 2024

Pseudoaneurysms develop as a result of disruption of the arterial wall due to trauma or iatrogenic reasons such as catheterization, and it is important due to the high risk of bleeding and rupture. Until recently, the main treatment of pseudoaneurysms was surgical repair. However, in recent years, minimally invasive methods such as ultrasound-guided compression and percutaneous thrombin injection have been used more frequently. In this article, the clinical course and findings of three different cases who developed pseudoaneurysm as a result of stenting the ductus arteriosus via the axillary artery were discussed.

Published: November 2024

Background: This study aimed to investigate the intraoperative and early postoperative effects of modified del Nido cardioplegia (DNC) compared to classic blood cardioplegia (BC) in patients with impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Methods: A total of 123 patients (108 males, 15 females; mean age: 62.2±8.5 years; range, 42 to 78 years) with an EF of 35% or lower who underwent on-pump CABG were included in the retrospective study between December 2022 and December 2023. The patients were divided into two groups according to the type of cardioplegia used: Group 1 (n=74) was designated as the BC group, and Group 2 (n=49) was designated as the DNC group. The groups were compared in terms of aortic cross-clamp duration, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) duration, need for defibrillation during weaning from CPB, positive inotrope requirement, intra-aortic balloon pump requirement, postoperative troponin-I levels, postoperative atrial fibrillation occurence, postoperative prolonged ventilation, development of postoperative neurologic complications, need for reintervention due to postoperative bleeding, postoperative transfusion requirement, and EF values at one month after the operation.

Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups in the terms of aortic cross-clamp and CPB duration (p=0.955 vs. p=0.816). Additionally, there was no significant difference in the need for intra-aortic balloon pump usage between the two groups (p=0.105). Dopamine and dobutamine usage were significantly lower in Group 2 (p=0.04 and p=0.05, respectively). The intraoperative requirement for defibrillation was significantly lower in Group 2 (p=0.01). In addition, troponin levels at 12 h postoperatively were significantly lower in Group 2 (p=0.03). The incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation was significantly lower in Group 2 (p=0.02). Moreover, there was no significant difference in EF values at one month after the operation (p=0.08).

Conclusion: In patients who underwent CABG with reduced EF, modified DNC provided myocardial protection comparable to classic BC. Additionally, the need for intraoperative defibrillation and postoperative inotropic agents, as well as the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation, were lower in patients operated with DNC.
The cardiovascular scamdemic: The epidemic spread of cardiovascular treatment scams and misinformation
Authors: Demirkılıç Ufuk , Tosun Burcu
Published: November 2024

Recently, some cardiovascular surgeons have been increasingly using social media for marketing, often employing misleading terminology. This trend, which we termed the “cardiovascular scamdemic,” involves the widespread dissemination of deceptive advertisements for cardiovascular treatments, resembling an epidemic. Exposure to such misinformation not only endangers patients, who naturally rely on information from professional sources, but also erodes public trust in medical ethics and scientific integrity. Additionally, it contributes to treatment refusal and adverse health outcomes. The lack of comprehensive global regulations addressing these issues highlights the urgent need for more effective enforcement measures.
Thoracic surgery in children and adolescents: Experience from the thoracic surgery unit of a single referral center
Authors: Hemead Hanan , Mamdouh Nora , Allam Akram , Abdelaziz Ahmed
Published: November 2024

Background: The study aimed to highlight and evaluate thoracic surgical procedures performed in children and adolescents and demonstrate the extent to which thoracic surgeons can benefit this population.

Methods: This retrospective study included 200 pediatric patients (100 males, 100 females; mean age: 14.7±6.7 years; range, 1 month to 21 years) who underwent thoracic surgery between January 2018 and January 2023. Patients’ indications for surgery, surgical approach, complications, length of hospital stay, need for intensive care admission, and mortality were evaluated.

Results: The most commonly performed surgery was sympathectomy (30.5%), followed by decortication (16%) and traumatic exploration (14%). Approximately 50% of surgeries were minimally invasive. The average length of hospital stay was 2.8 days, and the rate of intensive care admission was 20%. The intraoperative and postoperative complication rate was 10%.

Conclusion: The concept of treating pediatric patients as small-size adults is irrational. Pediatric patients need special care and tailored guidelines due to their peculiar physical, psychological, and anatomical characteristics. We believe that having a dedicated team of thoracic surgeons trained and subspecialized for pediatric thoracic pathologies will improve outcomes. Furthermore, more research must be directed to this age group to establish evidence-based consensus and guidelines.

Authors: Kaushik Pratham , Gill Kanwarpartap Singh , Thapliyal Nitin , Rawat Ramesh Singh
Published: November 2024

This study presents a novel method for enzyme categorization that combines EDA with NN models. Using a dataset of 858,777 annotated amino acid sequences from 10 different species, the model classifies enzymes in a 253,146 sample set, removing those with sequences longer than a certain threshold. X, U, B, and Z are infrequent amino acids that must be omitted during preprocessing in order to make room for B and Z, which are unique to the training set. After 20 epochs, the Neural Network architecture—which includes an embedding layer, bidirectional LSTM layers, and a dense output layer—manages to achieve an encouraging 79% accuracy on the test set. The model's effectiveness across 20 enzyme classes is demonstrated by a comprehensive classification report and confusion matrix. The importance of integrating EDA and NN in bioinformatics and molecular biology is demonstrated by this work, which enhances enzyme categorization approaches. Investigating new features and optimisation techniques to further improve the model is the next step.
A comparative neuro-study of solo or accompanied low and high boric acid doses with date molasses in adult male albino rats
Authors: Rezk Mohamed M.
Published: November 2024

Boric acid (BA) is a weak acid and the simplest compound resulting from the dissolution of boron in water. There is great competition to determine whether boron is an essential or nonessential nutrient. Date molasses is a potent type of sweetener with valuable components, such as flavonoids and phenolics, and has significant health benefits. This study investigated the neuro-essentiality and neurotoxicity of boric acid boron in adult male albino rat cortex and cerebellum brain areas and the impact of date molasses treatment. Animals were grouped into the following groups: control, low and high boric acid doses, 10 and 500 mg/kg, respectively, with or without 250 mg/kg date molasses. The results revealed the ability of BAs to cross the blood–brain barrier and accumulate in the cerebellum and cortex, revealing the ability of date molasses to decrease BA accumulation at different time intervals. Additionally, the results varied between a nonsignificant increase or decrease in calcium ion content, monoamines (norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin), glucose, adenosine triphosphate, malondialdehyde and glutathione, depending on the BA dose. Moreover, date molasses mitigated any unwanted BA results. In conclusion, boric acid, which is within a permissible limit, could be essential and have a neuroprotective effect, whereas at a sublethal level, it could have a neurotoxic effect. Additionally, Date molasses can have neuroprotective effects and antagonize the neurotoxic effects of boric acid through its antioxidant and scavenging effects.

Introduction: The high-complexity hospital environment was created with the objective of offering intensive care to patients with severe acute states or system instability, with the potential for recovery. A growing number of individuals who survive the initial stage of treatment but do not have a good outcome are identified. A poor evolution of the critically ill patient is due to immobility, which can cause several complications that influence recovery. The authors warn that the consequences of immobility can extend up to 5 years after hospital discharge. It is highlighted in several published studies that PM is associated with a reduction in the patient's time in hospital units. Several arguments based on other studies indicate that PM has been proposed as a promising intervention for critically ill patients, important to prevent postoperative complications and reduce hospitalization time. Objective: To describe the influence of PM and its protocols on hospital discharge in adult patients in the ICU. Methods: This is a descriptive study based on a systematic review of the literature using the PICO strategy. Results and Discussion: Searches carried out in the databases found 96 articles that, after analysis, were discarded, 79 and 7 articles met all the inclusion criteria of this study. The present study analyzed the influence of PM and its protocols on hospital discharge in adult patients in the ICU in the selected articles. Where many issues should be investigated for a more assertive and guiding opinion, in this way to further highlight the benefits of the MP and its significant influence on hospital discharge. There is a need to design a model to meet the specific need according to the profile of the patients and thus systematize PM in the ICU. Conclusion: We consider it important to carry out further studies to systematize the practice and evidence the improvements of the protocols and, thus, benefit the patient, favoring their recovery, hospital discharge and quality of life.
PERSONAL IDENTITY AND THE CHALLENGES OF ITS FULL PROTECTION: AN ESSAY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE EXPANSION OF PERSONALITY RIGHTS
Authors: Ramiro Marcus Geandré Nakano , Cassiano Débora Morgana
Published: November 2024

This research aims to analyze aspects related to personal identity, especially regarding the conceptualization of this personality right and how it is understood, not only by doctrine, but also by legislation and case law in Brazil. The importance of the topic is due to the need to broaden the understanding of personal identity as a personality right and its repercussions on the full development of each individual, as well as its effective protection. In this sense, this study seeks to identify personal identity as an autonomous personality right, to analyze its protection through the study of legislation and case law, including foreign legislation, and to identify the possible and consequent threats to other personality rights in the face of a possible legal-protective deficit of personal identity. To this end, the study uses the hypothetical-deductive method, with bibliographical analysis as the main methodological procedure.

Over the years, care during the oncology patient's journey has demonstrated benefits for physical, social, psychological and spiritual well-being. Palliative Care (PC) is offered to all patients diagnosed with life-threatening diseases, regardless of curative interventions. The focus is on the person, for whom there is always something to offer, even with active disease and limited time to live. Telecare has shown positive results when employing electronic technology in patients undergoing palliative care and with advanced cancer, improving symptom control and reducing the use of emergency rooms and hospitalizations, being a promising approach for maintaining quality of life.
FESTAS JUNINAS: ELEMENTO PARA A FORMAÇÃO DA IDENTIDADE CULTURAL PIAUIENSE
Authors: Do Rego Junia Motta Antonaccio Napoleão
Published: November 2024

The June festivities are folkloric events that begin with the commemoration of Saint Anthony on June 13, continue with Saint John on the 24th and end with Saint Peter on June 29. Although they are celebrated in various parts of the world, in Brazil, especially in the Northeast, they have a particular prominence. A special highlight of these festivities is the performance of Bumba-meu-boi, an allegorical dance in which the ox is the central character. All these manifestations are connected by a special bond: their character as a fertility rite. During the month of June, cities in Piauí are transformed with squares decorated with colorful flags, balloons and bonfires, recalling the yards of the old farms in these festive moments.

In Brazil today, we are faced with a very important issue when it comes to education. It is noted that many children and adolescents between the ages of 9 and 13 still do not read, but are duly enrolled in regular schools and more precisely in the fifth grade of elementary school. Another considerable portion of these students, even though they know how to read, do not understand what they read because they do not have a meaningful reading ability; their vocabulary is lacking in words due to lack of reading. Therefore, it is necessary for teachers to understand literacy and literacy and thus develop their pedagogical practice autonomously, with a view to meaningful literacy. This text is the result of a field study, which aimed to alert about the great gap that only grows every year in our public schools, because as was proven in this study, private education does not face these problems in the reading and interpretation of texts by students. With this, we see that we need to find solutions to improve our public education, and where we can introduce new teaching methodologies and evaluate why they are not successful. In conclusion, there is still time to reverse this situation and, together with the entire public student community, increase these rates of education development, which are so much discussed in everyday school life.
Presumed credit: Case of a technology industry in Santa Catarina
Authors: Demarqui Victor Tofanelli , Petri Sérgio Murilo
Published: November 2024

This study aims to analyze the impact of the presumed credit of Tax on the Circulation of Goods and Services (ICMS) on a technology company located in the State of Santa Catarina, focusing on the year 2023. The presumed credit, granted by the state government according to RICMS/SC, aims to reduce the tax burden of companies in the sector, promoting technological and commercial development. This is a qualitative and descriptive approach, based on a case study of the company, analyzing financial documents such as balance sheets, ICMS declarations (DIME), and other accounting reports. The results show that, in 2023, the company obtained significant tax savings. Of the total recoverable ICMS on incoming goods, 13.61% were reversed, while 86.39% were used, resulting in a recovered credit of R$ 1,085,242.39. Regarding ICMS on outgoing goods, the presumed credit reduced the amount payable by 75.45%, generating savings of 92.12% in the total ICMS due to the state government. This allowed the company to allocate more resources to Research, Development and Innovation (RD&I) activities and market expansion. From this, it was possible to conclude that the presumed credit brought clear financial benefits to the company in the short term, encouraging innovation and expansion. However, the study highlights that, for more consistent and lasting results, tax incentives need to be complemented by other policies.

Authors: Ribeiro Havila da Luz , Ferreira Anna Lylla Silva , de Araújo Nicolas Oliveira , Freire Ana Izabella , de Souza Filipe Bittencourt Machado
Published: November 2024

Corn is one of the most important cash crops originating in the Americas. Although of tropical origin, it is cultivated in practically all parts of the world. It stands out in the Brazilian agribusiness scenario as one of the most important commodities. In the past, seeds from one harvest were produced to be sold only in the following year's harvest. Currently, most of the seeds produced in the harvest are already sold in the "off-season" and those produced in the "off-season" are sold in the harvest. Therefore, the processing of corn seeds plays a fundamental role in the seed production chain, being operationally specialized when compared to other large crops. The corn cob is usually harvested, handled, peeled and dried, to later be threshed, cleaned, classified, treated and bagged. The companies stand out in the international market as leaders in seed production, meeting the most specific needs of the producer when selecting materials, harvest after harvest and Pioneer's business in Brazil is directed more intensely to the hybrid corn, popcorn and soybean seed market.
ADAPTING A BITE CODING GRID FOR SMALL RUMINANTS BROWSING A DECIDUOUS TROPICAL FOREST
Authors: Gonzalez-Pech Pedro G. , Torres-Acosta J. F. J. , Sandoval Castro Carlos A.
Published: November 2024

The aim of this study was to build a bite coding grid that considers the diversity of plant parts consumed by sheep and goats in the heterogeneous vegetation of a deciduous tropical forest. The architecture of plant species and the form and size of the plant parts consumed by sheep and goats grazing in Yucatán, México (20°52'N, 89°37'W) were recorded. This information was used to create a bite coding grid with 33 bite categories (BC). This new grid was validated using the direct observation method with 3 sheep and 3 goats during the dry and rainy seasons. The coding grid enabled the classification of all the plant architectures consumed (grasses, herbs, leafs of woody mono- and dicotyledoneans, bipinnate leafs and creeper plants) as well as other parts of plants consumed by the animals (round/oblong leafs, elongated leafs, steams, vines, flower, fruits, pods). It also considered the mixture of dry leafs and pods consumed directly from the ground. The size (length) of the BC varied from < 1 cm to up to 20 cm. The new grid incorporated BC specific for the deciduous tropical forest of Yucatán, such as plants with bipinnate leafs, creepers’ leafs and vines, as well as fallen pods collected from the ground. Of the 33 BC possible in the new coding grid, 28 and 32 BC were used during dry and rainy seasons respectively. Thus, the adapted bite coding grid can be used together with the direct observation method to investigate feeding behavior of sheep and goats browsing in the tropical forests.

Published: November 2024

This study was conducted to analyze input-output energies and economic analysis of modern and traditional wheat production systems of Kurdistan province, Iran. Data were collected from 100 dryland and 100 irrigated wheat fields. The fields were selected randomly, and inquiries conducted in a face-to-face interview from May up to August next year. The results showed that total energy inputs, energy use efficiency, and specific energy were 49,956 MJ ha-1, 2.4, and 4.9 MJ kg-1 in modern irrigated wheat system, respectively, 19,064 MJ ha-1, 3.4, and 3.4 MJ kg-1 in traditional irrigated wheat system, 16,598 MJ ha-1, 1.7, and 6.7 MJ kg-1 in modern dryland wheat system, and 14,471 MJ ha-1, 1.99 and 5.75 MJ kg-1 in traditional dryland wheat system, respectively. The economic analysis revealed that the total cost of production and net return were 546.5 and 1,448.6 USD ha-1 in modern irrigated wheat, 206.4 and 844.7 USD ha-1 in traditional irrigated wheat, 230.5 and 237.6 USD ha-1 in modern dryland wheat and 185.2 and 266.1 USD ha-1 in traditional dryland wheat systems, respectively. The results of this study showed that the modern wheat production system uses more energy compared to that by the traditional wheat production system. Thus, the wheat producers are advised to adopt modern wheat production systems with some caution.

Published: November 2024

For many years, the so-called "Abschichtung" has been popular as an additional way of settling an inheritance. Approved by the Federal Court of Justice and possible without any formal requirements, it offers co-heirs who are willing to withdraw a seemingly attractive way of speeding up what is otherwise a costly, time-consuming and sometimes contentious inheritance process. However, the underlying details are largely unclear, not least because of unclear formulations in case law. On the basis of the different dogmatic approaches to justification, the author highlights the difficulties in its application and examines the extent to which the construct of "Abschichtung" is compatible with the law of the community of heirs.
Jugendschutz auf Video-Sharing-Plattformen

Published: November 2024

How must providers of video sharing platforms protect minors from harmful content? Although services such as YouTube are some of the most popular internet applications among children and youths, this question remained unanswered for a long time. The European legislator eliminated the causal legal loophole with the revision of the AVMSD in 2018, which was transposed into national law by the federal and state legislatures. The thesis focuses on the interaction with the platform privilege. On this basis, innovative instruments such as the participation of users are examined. They enable a practicable protection of minors without disproportionately burdening the interests of providers, content providers and advertisers.

Authors: Junho Passos Herrero Carmen
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo analisa a inclusão de pessoas com deficiência (PCD) nas organizações, conforme o Decreto 3.298 de 1999. A partir de uma revisão bibliográfica com enfoque sistêmico, investiga-se o papel da hospitalidade no processo de contratação de PCD e os desafios enfrentados no mercado de trabalho. Por meio da gestão de Recursos Humanos e seus subsistemas, são discutidas as estratégias que promovem ambientes inclusivos e acolhedores. A pesquisa aponta que, embora a legislação tenha favorecido a inclusão, ainda há barreiras na implementação prática dessas políticas nas empresas.
Entre epistemologias e transformações sociais: a construção da teoria crítica da deficiência
Authors: Pereira Spinieli André Luiz
Published: November 2024

A recente emergência da "teoria crítica da deficiência" corresponde a uma decorrência direta das contribuições frankfurtianas no último século. Ela se comporta como um modelo interpretativo adequado às experiências vivenciadas pelas pessoas com deficiência, tendo como referenciais elementos políticos, culturais e sociais. Esse paradigma teórico visa identificar as contradições existentes na leitura tradicional do conceito de deficiência, rompendo com os critérios de normalidade e os processos de patologização das deficiências. Neste trabalho, apresento os pressupostos teóricos que fundam a ideia de "teoria crítica da deficiência" na literatura mais recente das Ciências Sociais e do Direito, buscando identificar quais são suas potencialidades para ultrapassar as insuficiências da(s) teoria(s) tradicional(is) da deficiência. Recorro tanto às teóricas de uma vertente feminista contemporânea que procuram mapear as interlocuções entre deficiência e exclusão social quanto aos teóricos que desenvolveram a ideia de "paradigma social de deficiência". Uma das principais ênfases da teoria crítica da deficiência consiste em fornecer interpretações integrais a respeito do fenômeno da deficiência, favorecendo a construção de novos modelos construtivos de conceitos e direitos.
Competencia o cultura de la investigación en la universidad Un estudio preliminar
Authors: Erazo Ortega Patricia
Published: November 2024

Tras la formación académica, existe un distanciamiento de los estudiantes con la práctica investigativa, pese a considerar la competencia y la cultura de la investigación como conceptos interrelacionados. Este estudio busca caracterizar la formación académica en la competencia de investigación de estudiantes de Educación Inicial mediante un enfoque metodológico etnográfico, documental, participativo, descriptivo y transversal, en esta perspectiva se conformó un grupo focal para identificar unidades de análisis y diseñar una entrevista semiestructurada que exploró creencias, experiencias personales, satisfacción con la competencia en investigación y expectativas profesionales. Los resultados, evaluados con una escala Likert, sugieren limitaciones cuando la competencia en investigación se centra solo en aspectos cognitivos y procedimentales; la interacción y la práctica investigativa son esenciales para promover una cultura de investigación alineada con una perspectiva pragmática. Se concluye que superar estos obstáculos y fortalecer una cultura investigativa depende del trabajo colaborativo, el compromiso social y la transferencia de conocimiento entre los participantes.

Taking Aim at Long Range
Authors: Clay-Gilmore Miron Javionne ,   Saint Louis University
Published: November 2024

This essay conducts a diachronic examination of the thought of W. E. B. Du Bois. In so doing, it reveals a corpus that is marked by a tradition of thinking rarely acknowledged by scholars today: Black nationalism. Du Bois’s early focus on the relationship between racism and imperialism and ideological conflicts with Booker T. Washington and Marcus Garvey laid the basis for his intellectual maturation around the concept of self-determination. After synthesizing the insights of Du Bois’s former ideological rivals, this essay will show that he affected a revolution in Black nationalist (and human) thought by making the common humanity and autonomy of African and African-descended peoples (and all colonized people) thinkable through the ideology of Pan-Africanism: a truly universal idea of freedom that was antagonistic to Westernism (liberal capitalist and Marxist thought).
