Authors: Nudnov Nikolay V. , Shakhvalieva Elina S-A. , Karelidze David G. , Borisov Aleksandr A. , Ivannikov Mikhail E.
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND: Radiomics is currently a promising and prospective tool for diagnosing and treating neuroendocrine neoplasms at various sites. This method is often used for differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors with other neoplasms at this site.
AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate the potential of radiomics for differential diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors of stomach and pancreas.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included data of 12 patients with morphologically proven neoplasms of the stomach (6 with neuroendocrine tumors and 6 with adenocarcinomas) and data of 22 patients with morphologically proven neoplasms of the pancreas (11 with neuroendocrine tumors and 11 with adenocarcinomas). All patients underwent abdominal computed tomography (CT) with intravenous contrast enhancement prior to treatment at the Russian Scientific Center of Roentgenology and Radiology. Radiomics parameters were calculated for the area of gastric and pancreatic tumor manually segmented in the native phase of the CT scan. The results were processed and statistically analyzed using Microsoft Office Excel and R-Studio, a free, open-source software development environment for the R programming language.
RESULTS: CT scan examples demonstrate typical and atypical visual signs of neuroendocrine tumors of stomach and pancreas, contrast enhancement characteristics, location and structure of neoplasms. Fifteen radiomics parameters were identified that were statistically significantly different between gastric neuroendocrine tumor and gastric adenocarcinoma. In pancreas, neuroendocrine tumors differed significantly from adenocarcinomas in 14 radiomics parameters.
CONCLUSIONS: Neuroendocrine tumors of stomach and pancreas are rare neoplasms that are mostly asymptomatic and difficult to visualize due to their small size and contrast enhancement characteristics. Texture analysis may be a promising approach to differentiate gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors from other neoplasms at these sites, especially in the view of the difficulty in obtaining a biopsy.

Authors: Sridharlakshmi Narayana Reddy Bommu
Published: November 2024

It examines how data analytics improves energy efficiency in large-scale distributed systems via code reworking. The primary goal is to study how data-driven techniques maximize resource allocation, energy usage, and system performance. Secondary data-based reviews of energy-efficient data analytics case studies from Google, Facebook, AWS, and Microsoft are used in the process. Significant results show that performance profiling, real-time monitoring, predictive modeling, and energy-aware resource management reduce energy use and ensure system scalability and performance. Energy savings were realized utilizing dynamic resource allocation, job scheduling, load balancing, and predictive analytics using machine learning. Energy consumption is also reduced by managing network traffic and data storage. However, integrating contemporary analytics tools into older systems and handling their massive data sets remain substantial obstacles. The paper recommends uniform legislation to promote energy-efficient practices, incentives for sustainable computing research, and industry best practices. This work emphasizes energy efficiency in large-scale distributed systems and advances sustainable computing research.
Pathophysiology of De Novo Food Allergies After Solid Organ Transplant in Pediatric Patients
Authors: Pérez-López P , López-Guillén JL
Published: November 2024

De novo food allergy is a common phenomenon among pediatric solid organ recipients (8.5%-57%) when compared with the general population (0.45%-10%). Other associated disorders include non–IgE-mediated immune reactions and clinical predisposition to asthma and alterations in the oral mucosa. Originally, passive mechanisms (passive transfer of IgE and immune cells) were thought to be responsible for acute, transient cases of food allergies with a previous history of sensitization for a specific allergen in the donor. Recently proposed pathophysiological mechanisms to explain de novo allergies include TH2/B-cell imbalance, regulatory T-cell (Treg) disruption, gastrointestinal immaturity, and altered gastrointestinal permeability. Recent studies also suggest that immunosuppressive drugs, especially tacrolimus, promote naïve T-cell differentiation into TH2 cells, IgE-promoting cytokine production, decreased IL-5 and IL-10 levels, increased IgA levels, and Treg disruption. Such immunological interactions, in conjunction with altered intestinal permeability, intestinal immaturity in children, history of viral infection, and a personal history of allergies or eczema, are thought to explain most clinical cases of pediatric de novo food allergy after solid organ transplantation reported in the literature. A better understanding of the immunological mechanisms underpinning organ donors and recipients may unveil some of the caveats concerning therapeutic management and improve the quality of life of affected individuals.

Published: November 2024

Knowledge sharing is a process for companies to acquire knowledge and remain competitive and adaptable. At the same time, sharing can compromise the uniqueness of a company's repository of knowledge, affecting its exclusivity. This research analyzes knowledge sharing between companies in coworking spaces and its consequences, considering the features of this type of organization. A case study was conducted in 5 of these spaces, in which 31 interviews, documents and observations were made for subsequent content analysis. The practices identified show that the coworking environment favors the management of information and knowledge and are associated with: performance of managers and employees of the spaces in interactions; parallel initiatives of the spaces; internal structure and distribution; characteristics of the external environment; own digital platforms and interactive media for communication; contact with external professionals; frequency and content of the formal events promoted. The management of these businesses is facilitated when it is evidenced that self-employed professionals and small teams are more aligned with the dynamics of coworking spaces; formal events are more favorable for interactions, and facilitation by managers is essential; own digital platforms, Instagram and WhatsApp support the practices identified, highlighting that emails are no longer used.

Aligning Strategies of Institutes with Student Expectations: An Exploration of External Factors Shaping Students' Choice of Private Higher Education Institutes
Authors: Wickramasinghe Gangani , Mohammed Lubna Ali , Dhanapala Rathnayake Mudiyanselage
Published: November 2024

Student enrollment and retention are critical aspects of the economic sustainability of a private higher education institute (HEI). However, due to the growing number of private HEIs worldwide, huge competition has been created among these institutes. This has resulted in institutes investing heavily in ineffective strategies because they are implemented without fully understanding student expectations. Due to this, student dropouts can also be observed. Failure to meet enrollment targets and dropouts not only creates revenue loss but also negatively affects the reputation of the HEIs, impacting the viability of the institute. Therefore, much interest has been generated in identifying the factors that motivate students when choosing an HEI.  This study’s main aim is to conduct a review of the available literature and identify the external factors, namely HEI-related characteristics and the communication methods that influence students when choosing a private HEI that directly impact the institutes. The inclusion criteria for the chosen literature consisted of studies conducted on the motivational factors of undergraduates and high school students who were in the process of choosing an HEI. The literature reviewed shows that students are influenced by HEI-related characteristics such as the reputation of the HEI, course fees, facilities offered, employability of graduates, academic quality, and quality of faculty and by the information gathered through communication methods such as websites and social media advertisements. HEIs can consider these findings to develop policies, improve their facilities and activities, and formulate and implement marketing strategies through the communication channels identified in this study.
Western Modernity versus Alternative Modernity
Authors: ElFalih Tarik , ELHabbouch Layachi
Published: November 2024

Rather than simply reflecting on the origins of modernity, it is necessary to critically examine its main story by disseminating its underlying ideas throughout the world. Reevaluating the world through a different lens facilitates the deconstruction of the binary between the Global North and the Global South. This paper’s analysis scrutinizes the ideas introduced by the Moroccan philosopher Taha Abdurrahman in his work entitled "The Spirit of Modernity: A Prolegomenon to Laying the Foundations of Islamic Modernity." This paper illustrates the ability of Global South to offer a novel viewpoint. Taha Abdurrahman's critiques of what he terms "Islamic Alternative Modernity" through a methodology that integrates translation and discourse analysis. His authorship constructs a conceptual framework that interrogates the prevailing perceptions of Muslims within Western societies. The works of Abdurrahman offer profound insights into the modern Islamic landscape and the myriad perspectives that coexist within it. It encourages us to reflect on the forms in which one might achieve a deeper understanding of Islamic thought. According to the narrative, Taha Abdurrahman has remarkable contributions to be able to discern the complexities and contradictions within modern Western civilization, shaped by his post-colonial perspective. In exploring the nuances of contemporary thought, one must consider the alternative perspectives that challenge the prevailing notions of modernity. The spirit of this inquiry invites us to examine the significance of location in shaping and reshaping our experiences, particularly in relation to the Global North Grand narratives about the South. A critical analysis reveals the complexities of universality, urging us to question established paradigms and engage in thoughtful discourse about pluriversality.

Published: November 2024

Multimodal learning analytics (MMLA) integrates novel sensing technologies and artificial intelligence algorithms, providing opportunities to enhance student reflection during complex, collaborative learning experiences. Although recent advancements in MMLA have shown its capability to generate insights into diverse learning behaviours across various learning settings, little research has been conducted to evaluate these systems in authentic learning contexts, particularly regarding students' perceived fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics (FATE). Understanding these perceptions is essential to using MMLA effectively without introducing ethical complications or negatively affecting how students learn. This study aimed to address this gap by assessing the FATE of MMLA in an authentic, collaborative learning context. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 14 undergraduate students who used MMLA visualizations for post-activity reflection. The findings highlighted the significance of accurate and comprehensive data representation to ensure visualization fairness, the need for different levels of data access to foster accountability, the imperative of measuring and cultivating transparency with students, and the necessity of transforming informed consent from dichotomous to continuous and measurable scales. While students value the benefits of MMLA, they also emphasize the importance of ethical considerations, highlighting a pressing need for the LA and MMLA communities to investigate and address FATE issues actively.
Andréa de Mayo, o gênero travesti e a coragem da verdade
Authors: Nicolau Marcio
Published: November 2024

O artigo, tendo por fio condutor as histórias da militante travesti Andréa de Mayo, concentra-se nas subjetividades travestis que emergem em São Paulo entre os anos de 1970 e 1980. Partindo da imprensa, a presente análise aborda os modos de assujeitamento e de subjetivação. Assim, busca ressaltar as táticas de desassujeitamento possibilitadas pela narração contínua de si. Destaca a elaboração de si por si, argumentando que a reflexividade é ativada quando ressignificamos normas históricas, que são internalizadas, não naturais. Em suma, neste artigo, indico que a forma como somos ensinados a pensar sobre nós molda, constantemente, nossas narrativas pessoais, constituindo, ao mesmo tempo, singularidades.

A pesquisa destina-se a analisar a carta “o que pensamos nós mulheres Munduruku?” apresentada na ocasião do seminário “Impactos, desafios e perspectivas dos Grandes projetos na Bacia do Tapajós” sedeado em Itaituba em maio de 2016. A aparição pública destas mulheres mobilizou instituições públicas, membros da sociedade civil, povos originários e comunidades tradicionais, objetivando estabelecer diálogos com diversos segmentos sociais abrangidos por empreendimentos tais como a hidrelétrica de São Luís do Tapajós e a hidrovia do Tapajós. Estes projetos têm impactos negativos na saúde dos povos originários e das comunidades tradicionais. A fundamentação teórica da pesquisa encontra-se assente nas discussões sobre território e territorialidade, conflitos socioambientais e igualmente na carta que constitui objeto de análise. A pesquisa visa analisar os impactos dos megaprojetos denunciados na carta das mulheres Munduruku; descrever o povo Munduruku, meio ambiente e as ameaças decorrentes da contaminação mercurial das águas com danos à vida humana; analisar as ações das Munduruku face à omissão das autoridades governamentais em relação à contaminação dos rios com impactos alarmantes para a população amazônica. Para a realização desta pesquisa, optamos pela pesquisa implicada e qualitativa. Os desastres socioambientais têm consequências devastadoras que mobilizam as mulheres Munduruku a desafiar os gestores públicos a encontrar medidas para a mitigação dos impactos causados pelos megaprojetos. A análise da carta das mulheres Munduruku e a criação das associações Wakoburum, imbuídas no espírito ancestral, desenvolveram ações de resistência contra os megaprojetos que inquinam o meio ambiente.

Este artigo visou verificar se a Parceria Público-Privada é instituto eficiente para solucionar problemas sociais sobre os quais o Estado aduz não possuir recursos e estrutura suficientes para implementar políticas públicas. Além disso, visou demonstrar a importância de se reconhecer o direito público subjetivo do cidadão a uma boa Administração Pública e o relaciona com o caráter impositivo de implementar políticas públicas necessárias, examinando a discricionariedade das opções políticas sob um aspecto de congruência. Assim, foi possível concluir que a PPP deve ser vista como mais um instrumento à disposição do Poder Público para suprir seus déficits e alcançar a dignidade humana, ao passo que a iniciativa privada possa cumprir sua função social contribuindo para uma sociedade mais justa e fraterna, tutelando direitos difusos. O método de pesquisa foi o indutivo e o procedimento metodológico foi o de coleta de dados em artigos de revistas especializadas, doutrinas e textos legais.

Background: Soil mediated/ transmitted helminthiasis (STH/SMH) is a neglected tropical disease and includes Ascarids, Trichuris and Hookworms, which prominently affects population living either in the low sanitary condition or in close proximity with the animals. Recent years have witnessed elevation in the Trichuris infection, with India ranking first globally. Variety of factors including low sanitation, close contact with animals, increased man and wild conflict contribute towards STH. However, co-relation of STH/SMH infection from wildlife have not been studied. Methods: The study was conducted for a period of 1 year from August, 2021 to September, 2022. Trichuris infection was present in 72 out of 131 carcasses of wild animals with prevalence rate of 35%. The prevalence percentage of Trichuris infection in different sub categories of wild animals was calculated. Seasonal prevalence rate was calculated with increased cases reported in summer season followed by monsoon. Additionally, fecal samples, worms and intestinal samples for further studies were collected. Result: Wild animals act as bridge for transmission of various zoonotic diseases. However, zoonotic potential of parasitic diseases are neglected in wild animals with no systematic literature. Based on our study we illustrate that wild animals hold considerate potential plausibly demonstrating an iceberg phenomenon. Wildlife is an essential component in the epidemiology of many, if not most, zoonoses, wildlife should be taken into account in the risk analysis framework.

Background: Sorghum (Jowar), a nutritionally rich, great millet is frequently cultivated in semi-arid tracts of India but at places without considering the suitable soil-sites, which result in lower productivity. Thus, understanding of sorghum-growing pedo-environment vis-à-vis crop requirements is a pre-requisite for soil-site evaluation of crop and hence present case study was carried out in Mahabubnagar rural mandal of Mahabubnagar district, Telangana state. Methods: The detailed soil survey (1:10000 scale) of Mahabubnagar Rural mandal (Mahabubnagar district), Telangana was carried out using Sentinel 2 satellite data and mapped with 66 mapping units. These mapping units along with relevant physical and chemical properties were evaluated for their suitability for sorghum farming. Result: Our results indicated that major sorghum-growing soils of Mahabubnagar Rural mandal have been grouped as Typic Rhodustalfs, Aquic Haplustalfs, and Typic Haplusterts at the sub group level. Out of the 18-soil series, major sorghum-growing soils belong to Telugugudam, Kotakadira and Potanpalle series occupying 7.56 % of the geographical area. The soil-site evaluation study indicated that the maximum area (33.99 per cent) was rated as marginally suitable with limitations of gravelliness, nutrient availability, rooting conditions, and texture while 1.51 per cent area was highly suitable for sorghum cultivation.
