Published: July 2024

Background: Amid the COVID-19 lockdown during the second wave, a crucial investigation into Vitamin D deficiency among undergraduate students gained significance. Recognizing the potential impact on immune health, our objective was to explore serum Vitamin D status and its correlations with gender, diet, body mass index, and sunlight exposure in undergraduate medical students, considering the unique circumstances of restricted outdoor activities during the lockdown.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess serum Vitamin D levels in undergraduate medical students during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Materials and Methods: The study was conducted from February 2021 to June 2021 at Guntur Medical College, Andhra Pradesh. The cross-sectional study involved 68 undergraduate medical students aged 18–24 years. Ethical clearance was secured. Sociodemographic and anthropometric data were collected through interviews and a Google Forms questionnaire. Biochemical analyses, considering the lockdown’s impact, were performed to categorize Vitamin D status.

Results: The study showed a profound impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on Vitamin D status, revealing high prevalence due to restricted sun exposure. Vitamin D deficiency was prevalent, particularly among obese and overweight students. No association between Vitamin D and calcium levels emphasized the need for tailored interventions considering the unique circumstances of lockdown. Parathormone levels were significantly elevated in Vitamin D deficiency.

Conclusion: The study revealed a 61.8% prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency, with no statistically significant gender difference. A significant inverse correlation was identified between Vitamin D and parathormone parathyroid hormone levels. A positive correlation was noted between sun exposure duration and Vitamin D levels.

Published: July 2024

Background: Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (AECOPD) are a frequent cause of hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality and require serious medical attention. Much research has demonstrated the beneficial effects of intravenous and nebulized magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) as a bronchodilator, in the management of acute severe asthma. Nevertheless, the extent of the benefits of intravenous MgSO4 as an adjuvant to bronchodilators in AECOPD remains uncertain. Therefore, the current study aims to address this gap in knowledge.

Aims and Objectives: The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of intravenous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) versus placebo when used as an adjuvant to nebulized salbutamol in managing AECOPD.

Materials and Methods: In this comparative prospective interventional, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study, a total of 60 subjects were assigned to two groups consisting of 30 individuals each. The allocation was non-randomized and open-label, with one group receiving intravenous MgSO4 as an adjuvant to nebulized salbutamol, while the other group received a placebo in the same manner. The evaluation of MgSO4 efficacy involved measuring the peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), which served as the primary outcome parameter. PEFR measurements were taken at 0, 15, 30, and 45 min to assess the effectiveness of MgSO4. Safety and tolerability of MgSO4 were assessed based on changes in heart rate, blood pressure, deep tendon reflexes, and respiratory rate.

Results: At 45 min, the mean change in PEFR was significantly higher (P = 0.061) in the MgSO4 group (178.33 ± 49.18) compared to the placebo group (155.43 ± 41.86). Moreover, the mean difference in PEFR between the two groups was consistently higher in the MgSO4 group at every observation. MgSO4 showed considerable safety and tolerability in subjects based on the postmedication monitoring of hypermagnesemia symptoms.

Conclusion: Administering intravenous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) as an adjuvant to bronchodilators in AECOPD led to the improvement of both clinical condition and PEFR. In AECOPD, MgSO4 exhibits enhanced early bronchodilator response when combined with other drugs, demonstrating significant efficacy, good safety, and tolerability at the prescribed dosage.

Published: July 2024

Background: Neonatal sepsis is a critical health issue worldwide, with high morbidity and mortality rates, especially in developing countries. Effective management of neonatal sepsis includes timely administration of appropriate antibiotics based on antimicrobial susceptibility patterns.

Aims and Objectives: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the choice of empiric and definitive antibiotics in neonatal septicemia, assess bacterial susceptibility patterns, and correlation with clinical outcomes, and highlight the importance of antimicrobial stewardship.

Materials and Methods: The study was conducted at a tertiary care center and enrolled neonates diagnosed with septicemia over 2 months. Blood cultures were obtained, and antibiotics were initiated empirically based on local guidelines. Definitive antibiotics were started after culture sensitivity reports and compared with empiric treatment for clinical outcomes and bacteriological profiles were analyzed with appropriate statistical methods.

Results: In this study, Piperacillin-Tazobactam and Amikacin were used as empiric treatment in all cases. Meropenem showed high sensitivity in definitive treatment post-culture. No significant difference between empiric and definitive treatment groups was observed in clinical outcomes.

Conclusion: This study found no significant difference in clinical outcomes between empiric and definitive antibiotic regimens for neonatal sepsis. However, high meropenem susceptibility suggests the potential for more targeted therapy. Regularly updating local antibiogram, data remain crucial to optimize empiric treatment and combat resistance in this vulnerable population.

Authors: Leitão Fernandino João Pereira
Published: July 2024

The social, political, economic, cultural and technological dynamics that Angola has been going through in recent years, resulting from global and local changes, verified in all the domains presented, suggests the reformulation and/or (re)adaptation of the aims and objectives of education in the country, so that we can increasingly train citizens with the comprehensive preparation necessary for effective integration into global society. In this sense, in Angola, through the responsible Ministry, a set of measures has been developed to adapt the quality of education, complying with international standards defined by UNESCO. And as a measure to measure these indicators, throughout the country, is the introduction, in a phased manner, since the 2021/2022 academic year, of standardized national exams at all levels of general education. From this perspective, this article seeks to reflect on the issue of summative assessment and its weight in the percentage of the final grade that allows the student to be promoted, as well as the autonomy of the teacher who worked with the student throughout the year at the time of awarding the grade. final grade. This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach through bibliographical research and participant observation associated with theoretical reflection. The final considerations indicate the need to propose a broad debate around this assessment focused solely on quantitative aspects that completely eliminate the qualitative aspect in assigning the students' new final for approval or disapproval.

Authors: Ahmed Asim , Syed Mahroona Hussain
Published: July 2024

Grand strategy and nuclear deterrence have been the most distinct strategies of the last century. The principal objective of a grand strategy for a major state is to achieve some grand strategic objectives, and for other states, it is to preserve their security in an
anarchic world. However, contrary to the central assumption of the nuclear deterrence theory, evidence shows that in certain situations, mere possession of nuclear weapons does not automatically translate into deterrence. The central argument of this article is based on the idea that deterrence strategy is neither a static concept nor should be taken as such. Nuclear deterrence. It is a dynamic concept in nature and its utilization depends on the
ingenuity of the Nuclear Weapon State (NWS). While citing a history of incidents, especially the Pulwama crisis in 2019 between India and Pakistan, this article explores how nuclear deterrence worked when the fear of a nuclear war was hanging in the region and how these states were able to use the nuclear deterrence strategy to their benefit. It also discusses whether there was a need for either side to operationalize nuclear deterrence through some
physical and tangible steps

Authors: Sadiq Nausheen , Qureshi Tabussom
Published: July 2024

The scope of this preliminary study revolves around investigating the effectiveness of experiential learning in upper-year science laboratory courses in a post-pandemic era. In this study we have explored two key questions: 1. Can experiential learning facilitate independent inquiry in an upper-year undergraduate laboratory in a post-pandemic era? 2. Do incoming students feel prepared to carry out an in-person, hands-on, upper-year undergraduate laboratory experiments in a post-pandemic era? By exploring these questions through student reflections and perceptions in an advanced analytical chemistry inquiry-based laboratory course, we hope to acknowledge the impact the pandemic has had on first- and second-year foundational labs, and on the preparation of students for upper-year undergraduate labs. The shift towards virtual learning during the COVID-19 pandemic may have heavily impacted the development of core wet laboratory skills and thus made it challenging for students to build their confidence and skillset and attain success when challenged at a higher level.

Published: July 2024

Soft Japonica rice is popular in Yangtze River Delta of China in recent years because of its high eating quality. In this study, high eating quality soft Japonica rice with early and late maturity was used to analyze their eating quality traits. The appearance, texture, and physicochemical characteristics, gelatinization and pasting properties, and fine structures between early and late maturing soft rice were compared. Early maturing soft rice had higher whiteness, chalkiness, gelatinization temperature, peak viscosity, breakdown viscosity, long branch-chain amylopectin, amylopectin chains (DP > 25), and molecular weight than late maturing soft rice. The higher gelatinization and pasting properties in early maturing soft rice probably be attributed to its higher amount of long branch-chain amylopectin, proportions of amylopectin chains (DP > 25) and molecular weight, compared with late maturing soft rice. Late maturing soft rice had higher amylose content, gel consistency, short branch-chain amylopectin, amylopectin short chains (DP 6–12), setback viscosity, and consistence viscosity than early maturing soft rice. The appearance and eating quality of late maturing soft rice were significantly higher than those of early maturing soft rice.

THE LEGALITY OF ISSUING A STATE ORDER IN THE DECISIONS OF THE FEDERAL SUPREME COURT IN IRAQ
Authors: Al-Kaabi Dr. Haider Rasool Mohsen ,   Lect., Technical Institute-Najaf, Al-Furat Al-Awsat University, Iraq
Published: July 2024

In this legal study, we discussed the nature of the state order in terms of its legal definition, as the state order is a temporary administrative procedure issued by the competent judge in some instances according to the law on the petition submitted by one of the parties to the case, including facts and evidence and supported by documents in an urgent matter. Likewise, the state order does not enjoy the authority of the ruling order. Still, it enjoys the power of urgent legal enforcement. It suspends the implementation of all urgent procedures and decisions resulting from the issue issued against the state order until the issue of the case is resolved. And that the Federal Supreme Court, as far as the matter relates to the constitutional dispute, has taken the issue of issuing the state order regarding these disputes, even though its law and internal system are devoid of a text on it, basing it on Civil Procedure Law No. 83 of 1969 as amended in force, and as far as the matter relates to the nature of the constitutional dispute. It also fortified the state decision issued by it from appeal, although the Iraqi Civil Proceedings Law permitted appeal against this decision by way of grievance. Therefore, we will discuss this issue from both legal and practical perspectives, as well as the role of the Federal Supreme Court in resolving constitutional disputes and issuing such decisions when considering constitutional disputes.

Published: July 2024

O agronegócio é muito influenciado por políticas governamentais, que vão desde a facilitação de acesso a crédito até a concessão de terras (Zhengfei; Lansisk, 2006). No Brasil, parte relevante do agronegócio está relacionado com a agricultura familiar, que conforme legislação vigente, caracteriza quem pratica atividades no meio rural e concomitantemente: não detém, a qualquer título, área maior do que quatro módulos fiscais ; utiliza, predominantemente, mão de obra da própria família nas atividades econômicas do seu estabelecimento ou empreendimento; tenha renda familiar predominantemente originada de atividades econômicas vinculadas ao próprio estabelecimento ou empreendimento; e dirija seu estabelecimento ou empreendimento com sua família. Entretanto, apesar da relevância da agricultura familiar no país e considerando a influência dos fomentos fornecidos para esse público, a literatura não apresenta uma classificação dos tipos de fomentos recebidos pelos agricultores familiares. Assim, o objetivo dessa pesquisa é propor uma classificação sobre os diferentes fomentos recebidos por agricultores familiares em território nacional. Para tal, foram efetuadas 7 entrevistas com especialistas e empregada análise de conteúdo. Os resultados apresentam 10 formas de fomentos para agricultura familiar no Brasil, categorizados em: fomentos de crédito; fomentos de terra; fomentos de educação; fomentos de auxílio técnico; fomentos de insumos para produção; fomentos de comercialização; fomentos de moradia; fomentos de alimentação; fomentos de máquinas e equipamentos; e fomentos de auxílio documental e projetos. O trabalho contribui com informações que podem gerar estudos futuros sobre a aplicabilidade, impactos e detalhamentos de cada tipo de fomento.

Published: July 2024

A percepção da cultura organizacional é uma forma de medir como os funcionários respondem ao discurso da empresa, pois impacta no cumprimento de metas. A organização, além de outras questões, também precisa estar atenta às demandas internas dos colaboradores, criando uma identificação entre funcionário e empresa.  Este estudo visa descobrir se a cultura organizacional que a empresa desenvolve está em sincronia com o que os funcionários percebem sobre ela. Foram avaliados os quesitos: perenidade, inovação, confiança, agilidade e aprendizado organizacionais pela ótica de funcionários de um grupo empresarial mineiro, relacionando faixa etária e tempo de vinculação ao emprego. Assim, foi realizada uma pesquisa de natureza básica, de abordagem quantitativa, com objetivo exploratório e descritivo, aplicado no ano de 2022, com coleta de dados em bases primárias, baseada em survey virtual, com 29 itens na escala Likert, com notas de 0 a 10. A amostra é composta por 5371 respondentes do Brasil, Alemanha, Angola, Argentina, Chile, Colômbia, Japão, México, Nicarágua e Venezuela, funcionários de um grupo empresarial com sede em Minas Gerais. Assim, com o auxílio do Teste de Kruskal Wallys, testou-se as hipóteses pela ótica da Teoria da Cultura Organizacional. Resultados revelam que apesar da diversidade cultural percebida na população amostrada, os entrevistados conseguem compartilhar padrões comuns de respostas. Pode-se concluir que a cultura organizacional afeta e é afetada pelos sujeitos que a vivenciam e uma liderança com estratégias bem estabelecidas e uma empresa com valores e processos bem delineados, contribuem com a percepção positiva que os funcionários têm dela.

Desde a fundação do Escritório de Tecnologia Social (ETecS) em 2005, o escritório modelo da Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC) onde são elaborados os projetos de Engenharia Civil e Arquitetura para pessoas com renda mensal de até 3 salários mínimos passa por dificuldades que vêm atrapalhando o trabalho dos bolsistas. A grande demanda de solicitações encaminhadas pela Defensoria Pública Geral do Estado aos bolsistas e ao coordenador torna a priorização dos projetos cada vez mais complexa. Assim, o objetivo do trabalho consiste em apresentar a aplicação do método multicritério AHP-Clássico de apoio à tomada de decisão para a priorização das solicitações com maiores necessidades. A metodologia de pesquisa se delineou pela revisão bibliográfica, em seguida pelo levantamento dos dados das solicitações, posteriormente pela análise e tratamento dos dados, aplicação do método multicritério e descrição das discussões e resultados. O resultado dessa aplicação apresentou-se consistente por demonstrar compatibilidade com o julgamento real do decisor, combinando as alternativas conforme critérios adotados. O método executado apresentou um modelo que o decisor pôde organizar e priorizar os projetos existentes sem obstáculos, servindo de ferramenta para a solução dos problemas com critérios conflitantes além de abordar na resolução de problemas de decisão com incerteza e com características de múltiplos critérios. Deste modo, todos os solicitantes podem ser atendidos em tempo hábil e de forma justa.

Published: July 2024

Nesta pesquisa se objetiva demonstrar a posição peculiar da democracia, seus elementos e as respectivas consequências jurídicas desse aspecto estrutural. Por meio desta leitura, será exposto como a racionalidade democrática é influenciada pelo mecanismo de transparência e a sua importância para a autocorreção democrática. O problema da transparência ineficiente no âmbito digital pela internet é evidenciado e trabalhado para demonstrar que isso é um óbice ao acesso à transparência estatal e, através disso, que se demonstra as barreiras de acesso aos mecanismos de racionalização democrática. A importância dessa pesquisa reside no acesso e compreensão às informações expostas on-line pelo Estado, haja vista que diante da incompreensão e da falta de acessibilidade há uma barreira que impossibilita o processo de avaliação e, por isso, é prejudicado o processo de evaluation, a transparência, a accountability e a própria possibilidade de alternância de poder necessária em uma democracia. As soluções sobre o tema serão expostas tendo em vista a eficiência das Ações Diretas de Inconstitucionalidade de Omissão em face do Executivo e do Legislativo. Somente assim poderá ser analisada uma dimensão normativa do problema.

A qualidade dos alimentos é uma das condições essenciais para a promoção e manutenção da saúde e deve ser assegurada pelo controle da correta manipulação em todas as etapas de seu processamento. As medidas sanitárias devem ser executadas rigorosamente para evitar possíveis problemas futuros, como as Doenças de Transmissão Hídrica e Alimentar (DTHA), que é um importante problema de saúde pública. Portanto esse trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade microbiológica de carne bovina em bife comercializada em supermercados de São Luís- MA. As amostras de carne bovina em forma de bife foram adquiridas no período matutino em três supermercados de diferentes redes. Para a realização das análises microbiológicas dos produtos foram comprados 250g de carne bovina in natura. As amostras foram acondicionadas em sacos plásticos de amostragem individuais e identificados com as letras A, B e C, não havendo identificação dos estabelecimentos comerciais. No grupo dos Coliformes Totais e Termotolerantes foram encontradas bactérias sugestivas de Escherichia coli. O resultado foi positivo para a análise de contaminação por bactérias aeróbicas mesófilas, sendo feitos testes confirmatórios, adicionalmente foram detectados também a presença de Salmonella sp. e fungos, enquanto Pseudomonas spp. foram detectadas em duas amostras e Staphylococcus sp. em apenas uma amostra. Diante dos resultados encontrados foi possível observar que a comercialização de carne bovina em forma de bife nos supermercados de São Luís é inadequada.
