INTRODUÇÃO: A Violência Obstétrica é definida como aquela cometida contra mulheres em qualquer período da gestação. Ela pode ser sexual, física, psíquica e verbal, ademais a negligência, discriminação e/ou as condutas intervencionistas desnecessária. OBJETIVO: Listar as políticas públicas de promoção, prevenção e enfrentamento à Violência Obstétrica no Brasil. MÉTODO: Revisão Integrativa de consultas nas bases de dados: BVS, PubMed, Medline e Lilacs no período de Janeiro de 2017 a Setembro de 2022. Os Descritores foram utilizados individualmente ou combinados. Foram resgatados n=518 publicações, após leitura exaustiva dos títulos e resumos dos artigos, selecionaram-se n=460 artigos sobre a temática, publicados completos e disponíveis gratuitos. Após aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e de exclusão, n=118 estudos foram selecionados para serem lidos na íntegra. Após esses procedimentos, selecionaram-se n=05 trabalhos com enfoque na resposta à questão norteadora, na adequação do conteúdo empregado para subsidiar a estruturação desta revisão integrativa. RESULTADO: Mesmo assegurado na Constituição Federal, os dados apontam a inexistência de um marco regulatório específico para mitigar a VO no Brasil. Os estudos apontam a importância de uma atuação multiprofissional articulada às políticas públicas de saúde, educação, assistência social e Direitos Humanos. CONCLUSÕES: O Brasil, vem gradualmente assumindo o seu protagonismo frente a VO. Entretanto, a análise de caráter, sobre o perfil das políticas existentes, emerge indícios sobre a invisibilidade para esses avanços e aponta para uma demanda considerável na evolução desse fenômeno. Há uma urgência pela ampliação das políticas públicas em defesa das pacientes para o alívio da sociedade. É importante a criação de uma Lei específica que trate sobre VO no Brasil que proteja todas parturientes, especificamente, as negras e periféricas, analfabetas e de baixa escolaridade, de baixa renda, com idade de 20 a 34 anos, e vítimas da discriminação social.

Objetivo: Verificar as possíveis causas de tireoidopatia associada à amiodarona. Revisão bibliográfica: A grande quantidade de iodo na sua composição, inibição das deiodinases, bloqueio da captação dos hormônios tireoidianos, citotoxicidade e a redução da conexão da triiodotironina (T3) ao receptor são as principais alterações descritas causada pela amiodarona. Os estudos selecionados sugerem que a amiodarona tem um potencial inibidor das atividades enzimáticas deiodinases do tipo 1 e 2, dificultando a entrada de hormônios tireoidianos nos tecidos por antagonismo. Este incremento de iodo liberado pelo fármaco inibe a síntese e secreção dos hormônios tireoidianos, proporcionando adaptação à sobrecarga no hipotireoidismo. O hipertireoidismo induzido pela amiodarona divide-se em tipo I, sendo um efeito da produção e liberação excessiva de hormônios tireoidianos induzidos pelo alto teor de iodo, exacerbando a autoimunidade. No tipo II o excesso de hormônio é resultado de uma tireoidite destrutiva, com um processo de liberação de hormônios pré-formados do colóide. Considerações finais: Disfunções tireoidianas podem ocorrer pelo elevado potencial da amiodarona em modular a homeostase de iodo. Deve-se realizar dosagens frequentes de TSH, T4L e anticorpos antitireoidianos, avaliando a função tireoidiana periodicamente, sendo importante avaliar a suspensão deste medicamento, tendo em vista a adaptação cardioendócrina.

Introdução: O câncer de pele de origem não melanocítica, que abrange os carcinomas basocelular e espinocelular, é o câncer de pele mais incidente no Brasil, um país de clima tropical que recebe quantidades significativas de radiação solar, tornando os seus moradores suscetíveis aos danos provocados pela fotoexposição prolongada, principalmente nas regiões Nordeste e Norte. Objetivo: O objetivo deste trabalho é demonstrar uma análise epidemiológica dos últimos cinco anos no estado de Alagoas, no Nordeste e no Brasil sobre o câncer de pele não-melanoma. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico descritivo, cujos dados foram obtidos por meio de consulta às bases de dados Scielo, Pubmed e do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS), no endereço eletrônico (http://www.datasus.gov.br), referentes ao período de 2018 até 2022. Os dados obtidos foram organizados e analisados. Resultados e Discussão: No Brasil foram diagnosticados 245.578 novos casos de câncer de pele não melanoma, no período de 2018 a 2022, desses, 35.515 ocorreram no Nordeste, o que representa 14,46% do número total de casos. Os resultados ainda apontam um aumento dos números de casos absolutos no estado de Alagoas, quando comparado aos anos anteriores. Conclusão: A negligência acerca dos cânceres de pele é uma realidade no Brasil e, somado ao atraso no diagnóstico e tratamento, aumentam os riscos de recidiva, metástase  e morbimortalidade. Apesar da alta incidência do câncer de pele não melanoma, trata-se de um câncer de fácil diagnóstico e bom prognóstico. Dessa maneira, estratégias de rastreio e diagnóstico precoce do câncer de pele devem ser enfatizadas, a exemplo do Dezembro Laranja.

An approach to customer trust In the portuguese banking system
Authors: Cabeças António , Santos António Duarte
Published: March 2023

Globalization, seen as a simultaneous transformation in economics, politics and culture, has led to more intense competition in different sectors of the economy. In the banking sector the analysis of customer satisfaction, loyalty and trust has been considered of great interest in recent years. In this study, we analyse the development of bank customer satisfaction and loyalty and, with more detail, the development of customer trust, using the results of surveys carried out with relevant statistical samples in Portugal and, for the first time, we also extend this analysis to bank customers in Spain. Scientific development, particularly in the field of behavioural economics, which includes many contributions from psychology and sociology, as well as in the field of neurology, which gave rise to neuroeconomics, allowed for the adaptation and change of traditional economic decision-making theories, based only on economic rationality, in the wake of the Cartesian dualism and Newtonian atomism, allowing for a better understanding of decision-making. It has been demonstrated in previous studies that the currently most relevant element for customer approval and loyalty to their main banking institution in Portugal is trust. Therefore, the growth or downward trend of these two variables will be a good indicator to understand the development of customer trust in banking evolution. It has been verified that customer trust in banking and in the development of banks in the last years is not as negative as could be expected, considering all the problems that have affected this sector, mainly in Portugal. However, customer satisfaction has been declining over the past two years. A significant change in the banking activity is taking place, a different approach has been implemented, and this change may lead to a decline in customer trust.

Published: March 2023

Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the important factors that causes hospital infections. In recent years, the emergence of antibiotic resistance has become widespread. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) infection is caused by a type of staphylococcus bacteria that is resistant to many antibiotics. The use of medicinal plants for the treatment of various diseases has increased recently. Hence, we decided to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of Loranthus europaeus leaf hydroalcoholic extract against methicillin-resistant S. aureus. Methods: The leaves of L. europeaus were collected from Khorramabad in Lorestan province. After drying the leaves, a hydroalcoholic extract of this plant was prepared. Finally, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values of the hydroalcoholic extract of L. europeaus were measured by the CLSI microdilution method. Results: Based on the results, the MIC and MBC values for the hydroalcoholic extract of the leaves of L. europaeus were 6.13 μg/mL and 98 μg/mL for MRSA, respectively. Conclusion: Our results showed that MRSA clinical strain was sensitive to the hydroalcoholic extract of L. europaeus. Therefore, this extract can be proposed as a good solution for routine antibiotics.

Metadata Report for 2022 Matheson Wetland and Vegetation Mapping
Authors: Goodwin Peter
Published: March 2023

The Scott and Norma Matheson Wetlands Preserve (the Preserve) occupies nearly 900 acres between the Colorado River and city of Moab, Utah, and encompasses an extensive floodplain-wetland complex that provides several unique functions in the arid west such as recreation, educational opportunities, and crucial aquatic habitats for sensitive wildlife species. The ability of the Preserve to provide these functions is related to water supplies from surrounding groundwater and surface water systems and is likely to be affected by upgradient changes in water use and delivery to the Preserve. The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) jointly manage the Preserve and contracted the Utah Geological Survey (UGS) to conduct a multi-year study that would better inform managers with the baseline data, research, and monitoring necessary to evaluate potential impacts and develop strategies that maintain the ecological health of the Preserve. As part of this multi-year study, the UGS mapped vegetation communities to reflect current habitat and conditions and serve as a baseline for further groundwater studies, remote sensing analyses, or management actions.

Authors: Jeon Min-Jeong , Hwang Sun-Kyung
Published: March 2023

Purpose : This study aimed to compare peripheral pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) values, measured at different monitoring sites, and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) of neurocritical patients.Methods : The study included 110 patients admitted to the neurosurgical intensive care unit of a university hospital. The patients’ SpO2 values were measured in their index fingers, both second toes, both earlobes, and foreheads, using the patient monitoring system. These values were compared with the standard value of SaO2 measured using a blood gas analyzer. Data were analyzed using descriptive values, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, Lin’s concordance correlation coefficients (CCC), and Bland-Altman plots.Result : Regardless of the measuring site, SpO2 was correlated with the paired measurements of SaO2 (r=.40~.60, p＜.001, CCC range=.40~.58). No significant bias in paired measurements of SpO2 and SaO2 was observed at all sites (-0.06~0.19%, p＞.05). SpO2 values at the left finger and right earlobe had the narrowest range, with a 95% limits of agreement (LOA) (left finger -3.04~2.93% and right earlobe -3.18~2.79%). SpO2 at the index finger, on the side without an arterial catheter, had a narrower range of 95% LOA than that of the opposing finger (-3.00~2.97% vs. -3.73~3.26%).Conclusion : SpO2 at the finger without an arterial catheter had the highest level of precision. This study suggests using the index finger, on the side without an arterial catheter, for pulse oximetry in neurocritical patients.

Authors: Zeitoun Mohammad , Al-Maqbel Ali , Alkalaf Rawan
Published: March 2023

The study employed the adjusted Thornthwaite-Mather model (1955) to estimate soil moisture in Irbid, Ras Muneef, and Almafraq stations for the period (1977-2015). Besides, fieldwork to collect soil moisture from 22 sites for four months (November 2019 to February 2020) was conducted. The results show that both estimated and observed soil moisture increased toward the northwest of the study area, that the highest average soil moisture reached 196.8 mm in February in Ras Munif following rainfall and soil characteristics such as texture, porosity, permeability, and soil water capacity. In addition, the content of soil moisture tends to be more stable when the soil is at or near its field capacity. However, the instability of soil moisture decreases when the soil is dry, Soil moisture reaches its lowest level from May to October, and the lowest average moisture is recorded in October at a rate of up to 0.5 mm, in Mafraq. It has also been found that the soil moisture in the northwest slopes is slightly higher than those in the northeast slopes. The annual mean of true evapotranspiration ranged between (5.4 and 54 mm); The highest annual averages were recorded in Irbid Station for all months, which exceeded the other stations; It reached (40 mm) in the year 2009. Ultimately, the study recommended that it is necessary to integrate different studies such as agro-meteorological, hydrological, and studies to establish a geodatabase to support future agricultural planning.

Authors: Amaireh Hanan
Published: March 2023

This paper analyses King Abdullah's II English speeches during the Covid-19 crisis in a corpus-based study. It investigates the rhetorical techniques employed by the King to convince the audience. The data include 14 English speeches (8,694 words) delivered by King Abdullah II of Jordan during the Covid-19 crisis, from January 2020 to August 2021. The rhetorical analysis is based on the classical Aristotelian classification of rhetoric. It examines one canon of rhetoric, invention. In the analyzing invention, the speaker's ethical appeals (ethos), emotional appeals (pathos), and logical appeals (logos) will be examined in detail in a corpus-based study. The analysis reveals that King Abdullah II employs ethical appeals to identify himself with the audience and create a rapport with them by using first-person pronouns and lexical items like "my friends". The quantitative analysis shows that the inclusive pronoun we and the pronoun I am used for rhetorical reasons to convince the audience. Direct and indirect emotional appeals are also used to stir the audience's emotions to call them to action. King Abdullah II uses logical arguments such as an argument from statistics, quoting from the Holy Quran, and an argument from a dilemma, inter alia, to convince the audience of his viewpoints and persuade them to do specific actions.

Published: March 2023

The formal integration of the interior spaces in general and the commercial spaces of the watch shops in the large commercial centers in particular is the goal that the designers aim to reach in order for the interior space to become successful in terms of the design idea and its characteristics. Implementation mechanism. One of the reasons for achieving formal integration in the interior spaces of watch shops is the requirements of the design that must be available in these spaces to reach a state of formal integration between the interior and the exterior so that the space becomes fully integrated in all respects. Because of the aforementioned reasons for dealing with the research, through four chapters: The first chapter included the research plan and its problem, which was summarized in the following question: (What are the design requirements that must be available in the interior design? Shop spaces that sell watches as commercial spaces require formal integration)? The importance of the research, its objective, the objective limits, the spatial and temporal limits of the research were also highlighted, and the most important terms mentioned in the research title were identified. As for the second chapter, it included previous studies and the theoretical framework, which included two parts. The first dealt with formal integration into the interior spaces.

Published: March 2023

Cellulosic bioethanol produced from wood is a candidate for alternative fuel to fossil fuels. In the cellulosic ethanol production process, pretreatment before enzymatic saccharification should be introduced for acceleration of the process. We proposed a new pretreatment technique for the cleavage of inter-cellulose hydrogen bonds by underwater discharge shock waves. In this study, we quantitatively analyzed the relationship among discharge conditions, shock wave properties, and treatment efficiency to estimate the optimal treatment conditions. The shock wave pressure was measured at several MPa, and optical microscopy results suggested wood flour fragmentation. The relationship between the discharge characteristics and the treatment effect was investigated by measuring the water retention value as an indicator of hydrogen bond cleavage and the amount of glucose as bioethanol intermediate products. The discharge energy of 0.85–1.16 J/pulse did not affect the treatment effect, while an increased discharge frequency in the range of 3.3–7.3 Hz did. The independence of treatment effect on the discharge energy was investigated to arise from the saturation in the discharge-current rising rate and shock-wave pressure.

Komunitas hijrah di Indonesia memiliki dampak luar biasa  bagi masyarakat. Eksistensi komunitas tersebut memberikan perubahan sosial, khususnya bagi para mahasiswa yang diharapkan menjadi agen of change di masa akan datang. Di sisi lain tantangan besar bagi Negara Republik Indonesia adalah muncul gerakan radikal yang tentunya mengancam stabilitas negara.  Artikel ini  penulis fokuskan terkait bagaimana trend hijrah dan pengaruh dari komunitas aktifis dakwah dalam pola seperti apa berpengaruh pada sikap beragama seseorang. Selain itu penuli ingin mendalami  trend hijrah yang berada di lingkungan komunitas dakwah antara satu dan lain apakah saling memberikan dampak satu sama lain. Pertemuan dari dua arus ini nantinya akan peneliti perdalam lagi apakah membentuk komunitas yang terintegrasi dalam bayang-bayang pikiran yang sama di antara mereka yang akan melahirkan sikap beragama yang moderat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa aktivis dakwah kampus di PTU dan PTI dalam proses hijrah banyak di dorong oleh lingkungan. Lingkungan keluarga berperan penting dalam membentuk, membina dan menjaga jadi diri seseorang, apalagi saat dia berbaur di lingkungan yang lebih heterogen. Secara umum  aktivis dakwah menganggap bahwa Lembaga dakwah kampus sebagai tempat komunitas hijrah bagi mereka. Selain itu hijrah bagi mereka merupakan perubahan dalam wujud pemahaman agama, pakaian, dan perilaku. Namun yang terlihat kecendrungan adalah dari pakaian. Komunitas hijrah menghadirkan juga persaudaraan yang terbayang-banyang, dan itulah yang membuat semangat dakwah terus terjaga. Relevansi trend hijrah aktivis dakwah menunjukkan bahwa mereka telah berkesesuain dengan indikator moderasi beragama. Kalau dimasukkan pada tipologi beragama, aktivis dakwah masuk katagori pluralis.

Total Quality Management Practice on the Performance of Commercial Banks: Case of Sidian Bank Kenya Limited
Authors: Eliz Marius Kajira , Bett Shadrack
Published: March 2023

In an effort to boost performance, Sidian Bank Kenya has been implementing quality management practices. However, the bank has faced difficulties as a result of demotivated employees and employees leaving the company in search of better opportunities. The bank hasn't even met the goals it set for itself, despite putting these total quality management measures into place. As a result, the study mostly looked into how Sidian Bank's performance in Nairobi City County, Kenya, is influenced by total quality management practices. A descriptive research design was used in the study. The Kenyan Sidian Bank was the focus of this study, and 66 managers and support staff were among the respondents. There were 66 respondents to the census. The questionnaires that were given to all of the respondents were used to collect the primary data. Despite not being a part of the final study, the pilot study included 10 bank employees who provided responses to the survey. The quantitative data shown in tables and figures was examined using descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation. Multiple regression analysis was used to establish the link between the variables. According to the study, continuous improvement, staff empowerment, top management commitment, and customer orientation all had a substantial impact on Sidian Bank performance. The study came to the conclusion that the goal of continuous improvement is to give employees the tools they need to deal with problems and gradually improve their work processes' effectiveness. Employee motivation has been shown to rise in direct correlation with employee empowerment through increased autonomy. Through its leadership and commitment to the overall quality management goal of customer satisfaction, top management fosters an organizational culture that places a priority on total quality and customer happiness, which in turn increases employee empowerment and job satisfaction. By implementing the appropriate management framework and customer-focused institutions to enhance business performance, customer orientation enables the bank to forge close relationships with its customers and generate revenue. The study suggested that the Bank set attainable objectives for the successful implementation of continuous improvement in order to reduce stress and maintain employee engagement on the successful path. By regularly soliciting and acting on feedback from employees, the bank should give them a voice and give them opportunities to advance through more autonomy, more responsibilities, or even a completely new position. In order to set an example and provide individuals with high-quality processes that they can use, the bank needs the commitment and engagement of its top managers across the board. The bank's customer orientation strategy should be viewed as a customer relationship management tool that aims to guarantee management of target customers and available capital in order to generate sustainable profits over the long term.
Hester Prynne and Ethan Frome: Two Faces of the Same Tragedy
Authors: Assist. Lec. Suhaib Majeed Kadhem  , Assist. Prof. Hind Ahmed al-Kurwy
Published: March 2023

Human tragedy is characterized by its continuity over and over in human history. Many writers elaborate different tragedies, each according his\her own experience and understanding of world tragedies. The present study shows a comparison of such tragedies between two novels; one by Nathaniel Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter and the other by Edith Wharton's Ethan From. The study sheds light on the way each novelist presents different sorts of human agony, the points they meet and the points they differ.

Both Nathaniel Hawthorne's (1804-64) Scarlet Letter (1850) and Edith Wharton's (1862–1937) Ethan Frome (1911) are compelling classics of American literature with characters trapped in tragic circumstances they seem unable to escape. Remarkably, the two novels represent turning points in the lives of their authors.  Whereas his previous work suffered from popular indifference, Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter gained him the attention he had formerly lacked, no small part of it negative. Actually a conservative in many regards, with the publication of The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne became viewed as a radical and a subversive by conservative reviewers. (Bloom, Bloom’s Classic Critical Views, p. 1) At the same time, Wharton's Ethan Forme has long held a canonical place as the most artistically perfect and formally accomplished of her fictions. (Lawson, 154) Moreover, both novels are based on real incidents. In his introduction to The Scarlet Letter "The Custom House", Hawthorne reports how he discovered by accident a decayed, embroidered "A" and some documents telling of its history and the story of one Hester Prynne:

 [T]he object that most drew my attention to the mysterious package was a certain affair of fine red cloth, much worn and faded, There were traces about it of gold embroidery, which, however, was greatly frayed and defaced, so that none, or very little, of the glitter was left.
