The Revolution of Brix 3000 as Chemomechanical Caries Removal (Cmcr) Agent, A Scoping Review
Authors: Dewi Aninda Kartika , Gartika Meirina
Published: October 2024

Background: Traditional caries removal techniques, like using a vibrating drill, have several drawbacks, including unpleasant sensations, heat that can irritate dental pulp, the need for local anesthesia, high energy consumption, and environmental concerns. A new method, CMCR (chemomechanical caries removal) with Brix 3000, aims to address these issues. It is minimally invasive, painless, and comfortable, promoting a positive attitude towards dental care, especially for pediatric patients, those with anxiety or fear, and high-risk medical patients. Objective: This literature review examines the use of Brix 3000 gel for chemomechanical caries removal. Methods: The study uses a scoping review method, conducting a comprehensive literature search on PubMed, EBSCO, ScienceDirect, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Google Scholar databases. The search focused on articles from the last 10 years using keywords like "chemomechanical caries removal," "Papain Based Gel," "Brix 3000," and "Dental caries." Results: Brix 3000 is the latest effective, efficient, and non-cytotoxic CMCR method. It has a shorter application time and lower cytotoxicity compared to other methods. It is the only CMCR agent using Encapsulating Buffer Emulsion (EBE) technology, enhancing proteolysis to remove degraded collagen from infected dentin. Brix 3000 is easy to use, requires no special instruments, offers patient comfort, does not need local anesthesia or drills, and does not irritate healthy tissue. Conclusion: Brix 3000 gel is an effective and efficient chemomechanical agent for caries removal.

Authors: HBABAT Imane , NERCI Najate , ELFAROUK Abdelhamid Ibn
Published: October 2024

De nombreuses études se sont intéressées à la question des stéréotypes de genre au sein des entreprises, en se concentrant sur les perceptions masculines des rôles et de l’égalité des sexes en milieux professionnels. Cette étude vise à analyser les auto-stéréotypes chez les femmes dans les entreprises, en explorant les mécanismes d’autocensure qui persistent en conséquence. Pour ce faire, une enquête quantitative a été réalisée auprès de 62 femmes salariées dans diverses PME marocaines, afin de recueillir leurs perceptions sur des sujets tels que l’écart salarial, la représentation dans les postes à responsabilité, l’équilibre entre vie personnelle et vie professionnelle, ainsi que les compétences professionnelles. Les résultats de cette étude révèlent que les auto-stéréotypes de genre, culturellement enracinés et associés aux rôles masculins et féminins, persistent chez femmes, contribuant ainsi aux inégalités dans l’accès aux postes de responsabilités et à la gestion de l’équilibre entre vie personnelle et vie professionnelle.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ СТАНОВЛЕННЯ РОСІЙСЬКОГО ПОЛІТИЧНОГО РАДИКАЛІЗМУ (2012 – 2024)
Authors: ВЕРНЕР Віктор , ВОВЧУК Людмила , Дерябін Антоній
Published: October 2024

Мета дослідження – визначити особливості російського політичного радикалізму через призму його приналежності та формування за президенства Влaдіміра Путіна (2012 – 2024). Методологія дослідження ґрунтується на комплексному підході, в основі якого використання спеціального комп’ютерного методу комплексного аналізу (CNA), а також спеціально-історичних методів (історико-типологічний та історико-системний), за допомогою яких авторам вдалося з’ясувати особливості формування російського політичного радикалізму упродовж вказаного періоду. Наукова новизна полягає у визначені ідеологічної складової російського політичного радикалізму шляхом застосування новаторської комп’ютерної методики. Висновки. Російський політичний радикалізм є багатошаровим явищем, яке сформувалося під впливом історичних, соціальних, економічних та політичних факторів. Упродовж 2012 – 2024 рр. в ідеологічному дискурсі В. Путіна відбувається “консервативний поворот”, який визначається як “особливий шлях Росії”. Результати проведеного дослідження свідчать, що ця ідеологія упродовж вказаного періоду не є винятково внутрішнім явищем цієї країни. Російський правий радикалізм формувався не просто із запозиченням ідей Заходу, а на основі існуючого зв’язку між Росією та країнами Заходу. Цей зв’язок простежується не скільки через вплив організацій як через вплив мислителів, теоретиків, ідеологів, адептів різних течій вкрай правого радикалізму та релігійного політичного радикалізму. Серед яких найбільш впливовими виявилися група вкрай правих мислителів. Варто зауважити, що серед активних популяризаторів західних ідей правого радикалізму в Росії є Алєксандр Дугін та російський мільярдер Костянтин Малофеєв. Виходячи з цього заяви російського уряду, російської еліти щодо того, що російський правий радикалізм є винятково російським є міфом. Правильнішим у даному випадку є твердження самого В. Путіна та деяких західних представників вкрай правих, що Росія це і є Захід – але такий Захід, який був на їхню думку втрачений через надто сильний вплив ліберальних і лівих цінностей.
Ідеологія Путіна (2012 – 2024) – це спотворена, доопрацьована “по-російськи” модель політичного радикалізму, яка базується на поєднанні авторитаризму, патріотизму, антизахідних настроїв, консерватизму, державного капіталізму та військової сили. Ця ідеологія дозволяє В. Путіну та його оточенню забезпечити контроль над країною та проводити агресивну зовнішню політику, становлячи серйозну небезпеку цілісності системи міжнародних відносин. Яскравим прикладом є російсько-українська війна, яка почалася у 2014 р. і триває донині. Ця війна є серйозною загрозою розвалу європейського проекту і приходу на його місце Євразійського антиліберального проекту Кремля.

Evaluation of Oxidative Stress activity, DNA Damage and Global DNA Methylation among Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Authors: Hamid Rehab Harith , AL-Jumaily Rakad M. Kh
Published: October 2024

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious threat to global medicine as more than two million get CKD yearly. However, the understanding of DNA damage, DNA methylation in chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains elusive. The study goal was to establish whether homocysteine (Hcy), oxidative DNA damage (ODD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX3) and 5-methylcytosine (5mC) could be used as a potential marker of CKD. Measurements of Hcy, ODD, and GPX3 levels were done by commercial enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits of 60 patients with chronic kidney disease (age range 20-87 years) and 30 age-matched healthy controls. DNA extracted from blood of patients was used to evaluate the global 5-methylcytosine (5mC) levels by the MethylFlashTM methylated DNA quantification Kit (Epigentek, USA). Results indicated a highly significant rise in Hcy and ODD in CKD patients in contrast to the healthy controls group. Although GPX3 level reduced in CKD patients, there was no significant difference between the patients and healthy controls. This research results also revealed significant rise in global 5mC level in CKD patients in comparison to the healthy controls. There is a potential role of homocysteine, oxidative DNA damage and global 5mC to be used as a biomarker for the progression of CKD.
The Efficiency of Certain Amino Acids in Regulating chABCI Gene Expression in Proteus mirabilis
Authors: Ibrahim Ghena Jameel , Laftaah Bahaa Abdullah
Published: October 2024

Many previous studies have demonstrated the therapeutic importance of chondroitinase ABC encoded by the chABCI gene. This study, however, accomplished to determine some amino acids effects on the chABCI gene in Proteus mirabilis to regulate chondroitinase production. A total of 57 (96.61%) isolates of Proteus mirabilis and two (3.39%) isolates of Proteus vulgaris were obtained from clinical specimens. The impact of amino acids on bacterial growth was assessed by gauging the turbidity of the nutrient broth using a spectrophotometer. Two isolates of P. mirabilis were treated with amino acids and their effect on the gene expression of the chABCI gene was studied using a real-time polymerase chain reaction. L-tyrosine and L-serine significantly increased bacterial inhibition (p < 0.05), while L-arginine, L-glutamine, L-proline, L-cysteine and glycine didn’t significantly affect P. mirabilis growth (p > 0.05). Also, gene expression increased significantly (p < 0.05) for chABCI with varying degrees when treated with these amino acids in addition to L-serine. Whereas L-tyrosine had a significant effect in reducing gene expression (p < 0.0001). It can, therefore, be concluded that amino acids significantly affect the gene expression of chABCI, either by increasing or inhibiting it.
Enhancement of the Production of Tropane Alkaloids in the Hyoscyamus Niger L. Callus Using Different Biotic Elicitors
Authors: Abed Ashwaq S. , Jassim Emad Hamdi
Published: October 2024

This study looked at the amount of tropane alkaloids in both the leaves of the mother plant and the callus cultures of Hyoscyamus niger L. It also looked at how biotic elicitation affects the growth of callus cultures and increases the production of alkaloids. The investigation identified and quantified three primary tropane alkaloids (Hyoscyamine, Scopolamine, and Atropine) from both sources. Remarkably, the callus cultures exhibited obviously higher levels of alkaloids in comparison to the leaves of the mother plant, implying their potential as a valuable reservoir for alkaloid production. Concerning the effects of biotic elicitation, the study showed that the application of chitosan (CHT), yeast extract (YE), and fungal extract of Trichoderma asperellum yielded a substantial decrease in callus weight when contrasted with the control group. This decrease became more pronounced with escalating concentrations of the elicitors. In terms of alkaloid synthesis, a clear correlation between the concentration of bio stimulants and tropane alkaloid levels was established. Particularly, CHT elicitation displayed the most pronounced enhancement in levels of tropane alkaloids among the three elicitors. Notably, the highest CHT concentration of 40 mg/L yielded the most elevated levels of alkaloids, measuring at 25.3 µg/g for Hyoscyamine, 31.2 µg/g for Scopolamine, and 21.5 µg/g for Atropine. This represents approximate percentage increases in concentration of 208%, 183%, and 198%, respectively, when compared to the control treatment. Generally, these findings carry significant implications for advancing tropane alkaloid biosynthesis, with potential applications spanning the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors.
Using Schottky Arc-plasma for Modelling the Cathode Temperatures of Various Materials at High Pressure
Authors: Mohamed Zainab Majeed , Ali Rafid Abbas
Published: October 2024

Theoretical investigation for cathodes of different metals, including hafnium (Hf), niobium (Nb), tungsten (W), and molybdenum (Mo) were used. It was noticed that the plasma energy at the cathode (Hf) has a higher value than that at the cathode metal because the energy losses of electrons for (Hf) are less due to inelastic collisions. As for the energy of electrons, their value for the metal (Hf) is also higher than of the other metals, and the reason is that the energy is proportional to the temperature according to the equation: (E = 3/2 KT). It was also noted that the energy of ions for all metals is almost equal at temperature (Tw≅4000K) due to energy losses due to elastic and inelastic collisions, this leads to a state of saturation. There is a large decrease in the voltage barrier accompanied by an increase in the current density, differences occur in the values of the voltage barrier due to the difference in the work function which varies according to the metal.

Authors: Jaber Azeez Lafta , Khalil Shuker Mahmood
Published: October 2024

The main purpose of this work is to present the concept of pseudo Rho-algebra as a generalization of the Rho-algebra. We investigate this type behaves nicely in terms of common mappings like homomorphisms and direct products. In fact, we can show identify kernel objects and the fundamental theorem of homomorphisms using Rho-ideals in this theory. Also, some important classes of pseudo Rho-algebra  and their applications are investigated and studied. Moreover, the necessary characteristics for or tantamount to membership in major subtypes of pseudo Rho/d-algebras under these cases are identified. The Rho/d-algebras and pseudo Rho/d-algebras are generated using some new classes of polynomials with two variables that are introduced in this work, like commutative identical, associative identical, regular identical, proper conditionally identical, and improper conditionally identical. Finally, the category of pseudo Rho/d-algebras can be classified using a conditionally couple, giving us additional flexibility in dealing with two different fields.

Authors: Mohammed Saja Salim , Salman Ziadoon W. , Mahdi Abbas Alaa
Published: October 2024

Today, SARS is a viral infection of the respiratory system that causes damage to the alveoli. The virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome belongs to the family of coronaviruses, commonly known as COVID, which is the same family of viruses that cause common colds. The increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) nowadays provides excellent opportunities to support and improve medical services in societies. In this paper, a developing model of deep learning (DL) is designed and implemented to classify SARS-CoV-2 disease images into two classes: COVID and non-COVID, with an accuracy of 99%. From a performance and accuracy perspective, the artificial convolutional neural network (CNN)-based detection model that was developed achieved better performance than the pre-trained VGG16 model and other learning models with a similar purpose. As a result, this designed model is able to aid medical professionals by providing a tool that facilitates the detection of this sickness and, consequently, the provision of appropriate medical care.

Authors: Sayyid Baqer H. , Shaban Auday H. , Abd Najah A.
Published: October 2024

The study targets to assess the potential of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) in detecting ground distortion caused by earthquakes. The inSAR technique integrates Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and interferometry to reveal the slightest changes on the earth's surface through a specified period, impregnable to climate or time of day. The research analyses some scholarly articles to demonstrate the interest of InSAR in examining earthquakes and their outcome. These articles demonstrate the practical application of InSAR in enhancing fault slip analysis, ground deformation assessment, and early post-seismic changes in earthquakes. InSAR is beneficial with measurements from other tools, such as GPS and time series analysis, but it still offers valuable insights into earthquake characteristics and associated effects. The insights from these methodologies can help devise solutions to mitigate the impacts of earthquakes. In addition, the paper presents information about three earthquake swarm events and their corresponding fault types. The first event occurred on November 12th, 2017, while the second happened on November 25th, 2018. Despite their differences in magnitude and location, the second event was associated with a strike-slip fault. InSAR provides extensive practical applications, from natural hazard monitoring to infrastructure projects and topographic mapping.

Weeping of Women and Nature in Tess Onwueme’s Then She Said It!
Authors: Aziz Noor Yousuf , Mohammed Marwa Ghazi
Published: October 2024

This study explores the theory of Ecofeminism ,which elucidates how capitalism and patriarchal society treat women and nature. Moreover, it studies the effects of gender categories to show how social norms unfairly control women and the environment. This study explores how Tess Onwueme's Then She Said it dramatizes the combined tyranny of nature and women. It emphasizes the devastation caused by oil firms colluding with local authorities to exploit both. The playwright examines the historical oppression of Delta women and the environmental damage they endure, using dramatic visuals and dialogue to illustrate the harsh realities of pollution and poverty. This study examines the contradiction between the prosperity of oil companies and the poverty of people in the regions where these companies operate. Furthermore, it highlights the parallels between women’s experiences and nature in terms of pain and resistance, emphasizing how both have become sources of strength for change. This offers new perspectives on societal evolution. It is an open critique of the capitalist system and patriarchy, which convert women's bodies and natural resources into commodities for profit.
Tom Clancy ś Debt of Honor: Uncanny Ability to Predict The Future
Authors: Mohmmed Abeer Jasim , Khaleel Intisar Rashid
Published: October 2024

This paper investigates Tom Clancy's Debt of Honor through the framework of Nicholas Rescher's theory of predication. This philosophical approach examines how language connects concepts with the objects they describe. As Rescher posits, prediction is a crucial mechanism for understanding and organizing our perceptions of the world, enabling effective communication by linking abstract ideas to concrete entities. The objective of this study is to demystify Rescher's theory, presenting it clearly and understandably while highlighting its importance in both theoretical discussions and practical applications. The research begins by outlining the fundamental tenets of Rescher's theory, including how predication operates within everyday language and thought processes. It then applies these principles to the narrative and thematic structures within Debt of Honor, illustrating how the novel's depiction of complex socio-political scenarios can be better understood through the lens of prediction. The study explores the broader implications of Rescher's theory. The paper argues that a deeper understanding of predication can enhance clarity and precision in both philosophical discourse and real-world communication.
An Examination of Heba Al-Dubbagh's Just Five Minutes: Nine Years in the Prisons of Syria Through The Scope of Foucault’s Theory of Power Relations
Authors: Abdullah Mustafa Rodhan , Jassim Shimaa Abdullah
Published: October 2024

The present study deals with Foucault’s theory of Power Relations in Prison Literature. It focuses  on Heba Al-Dabbagh's Just Five Minutes: Nine Years in the Prisons of Syria. The study  argues that examining Power Relations in this  novel shows how prison narratives can reflect and challenge hierarchies, authority, and resistance in such environments.
It also seeks to show how Al-Dabbagh represents the effect of power relation on prisoners and the prison guards in her novel by relying heavily upon the theoretical framework of Power Relation by Michael Foucault. Using a Foucauldian perspective, this research emphasizes how the Syrian regime's exertion of power was based on establishing an atmosphere of fear, in which the individual is reduced to a passive subject of the state.
Ethical Dilemma and Technology Misuse in Medical Fiction of Rebecca Skloot’s The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
Authors: Jubair Malak Salam , Rasheed Lamiaa Ahmed
Published: October 2024

The rapid advancement of medical technology has introduced new ethical quandaries that are increasingly explored within medical fiction. To explore these ethical misconducts and implications of technology misuse, the study selects the medical novel Rebecca Skloot's The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. This study uses the Neutralization Theory of Sykes and Matza to examine the moral arguments and ethical conundrums raised in Rebecca Skloot's The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. In that, the novel investigates how authors use the medium of fiction to not only highlight the profound ethical questions surrounding the development and application of new technologies but also to expose the fragility of the systems and individuals tasked with wielding such power. This selected medical narrative serves as cautionary tales that force readers to confront the moral and philosophical implications of technological progress in the medical field, calling doctors to consider the delicate balance between scientific advancement and preserving human dignity, autonomy, and the sanctity of life.
Severe Electron Environment for Surface Charging at Geostationary and Medium Earth Orbits
Authors: Ganushkina Natalia Yu. , Matéo-Vélez Jean-Charles , Dubyagin Stepan
Published: October 2024

Electron radiation environment with keV energies on medium earth orbit (MEO) is investigated around the times when worst-case severe environments for surface charging were detected at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) satellites on geostationary earth orbit (GEO). The Inner Magnetosphere Particle Transport and Acceleration Model (IMPTAM) is employed to model 1–100 keV electron fluxes in the inner Earth’s magnetosphere (inside [Formula: see text]) during four representative events selected out of 400 LANL worst-case severe environment events. Modeled fluxes are compared to the observed ones on GEO, and the peak electron fluxes are then extracted at [Formula: see text] which is considered as approximate MEO environment following the LANL events. IMPTAM generally reproduces the 10–50 keV electron fluxes on GEO but underestimates (of factor of 2 to 5) at energies above. It is found that the maximum electron flux on MEO is reached in about 1.5–2 h after the worst-case environment for surface charging was detected at GEO. Whereas the magnetic local time (MLT) location of the worst-case severe environments on GEO varies from 23 to 05, the maximum electron flux on MEO is located on 6–7.8 MLT. The maximum electron flux values on MEO can be 2 to 10 times higher than those observed on GEO and those estimated using European Cooperation for Space Standardization and National Aeronautics and Space Administration guidelines, which can be a significant increase of the risks in terms of surface charging.
Resuspension Experiments of Cleanroom Particles
Authors: Barnova Sarah , Houret Baptiste , Rioland Guillaume
Published: October 2024

Satellite integration is conducted in a cleanroom to safeguard surfaces and instruments from contamination. Nevertheless, particulate contamination is frequently observed on satellite surfaces and instruments. Flushing, which involves the injection of a gas, is employed to reduce relative humidity and protect hygroscopic elements of the instruments. However, flushing carries the risk of displacing particulate contamination by resuspension. Furthermore, the resuspension of particles may also occur during launch as a result of depressurization and vibrations. The objective of this study was to experimentally investigate the resuspension of typical particles found in satellite assembly cleanrooms. To this end, an experiment was developed that allowed the resuspension to be filmed with high-speed cameras and used to obtain minimum flow velocity values for the resuspension of self-gripping fastener particles and textile fibers. This will help the contamination engineers limit flow velocity levels to avoid recontamination of previously cleaned surfaces. A method was also developed to measure adhesion force as a preliminary estimate to be used in further modeling work.
Linear Modeling of Doppler Wind Lidar Systems for Gust Load Alleviation Design
Authors: Cavaliere Davide , Fezans Nicolas , Kiehn Daniel , Schulz Julius , Römer Ulrich
Published: October 2024

Preview control using wind estimates derived from Doppler wind lidar measurements is a promising technique for designing active gust load alleviation functions. Due to the relatively high noise levels in the lidar measurements, the associated estimator must use some type of smoothing to obtain a usable estimate for gust load alleviation. In the resulting wind estimate, this results in the loss of some of the information as well as a filtered and reduced component of the measurement noise. Taking the losses and noise into account during control synthesis should help ease the tuning procedure and improve the performance and robustness of the resulting controller. This paper proposes a method based on a maximum a posteriori interpretation of the wind estimation problem to consistently produce linear filters that closely approximate the behavior of the complete measurement chain (sensor and wind estimator) and that can be integrated into a linear control synthesis framework. Its characteristics are shown to closely match those of the real estimator over a range of types of turbulence using a standard set of system parameters.

The chemical reaction and cold wall effects in hypersonic reacting turbulent boundary layers (HRTBLs) cause the failure of the existing wall function method. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved wall function method to simulate skin friction [Formula: see text] and wall heat flux [Formula: see text] in HRTBLs accurately and efficiently. Firstly, the temperature–velocity relation is extended to a generalized enthalpy–velocity relation to comprehensively involve the chemical reaction and cold wall effects. Then, a new unified velocity law of the wall for the inner layer of HRTBLs is theoretically derived. Finally, an improved wall function method is designed with the new laws of the wall. Numerical experiments of typical HRTBLs show that, compared with the existing wall function method, the improved wall function method can significantly reduce the errors of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] from 8.0% and 10.2% to 0.4% and 0.5%, respectively, when the near-wall grids are relaxed to the viscous sublayer, while from 11.0% and 15.3% to 1.2% and 5.8%, respectively, when the near-wall grids are further relaxed to the logarithmic layer, bringing 2.7 and 15 times enhancement of the simulation efficiency. Moreover, by introducing the reference point, the improved wall function method removes the boundary layer edge quantities while ensuring accurate results.

As mudanças climáticas constituem atualmente a principal ameaça ao pleno exercício dos direitos humanos e os seus efeitos se acentuam de maneira desproporcional em países e segmentos da população que já vivem em desvantagem no gozo desses direitos. Estudos científicos publicados pelo UNICEF (2022) apontam que o impacto das mudanças climáticas é peculiar na infância e na adolescência, produzindo uma dimensão específica de injustiça climática. Isto porque há relação entre doenças e mortalidade infantil e a poluição, especialmente no acesso à água e a qualidade do ar, além dos graves acidentes oriundos de desastres ambientais e as consequentes condições psicossociais e de saúde mental das crianças afetadas pelos danos ambientais (UNICEF, 2023). Assim, o presente artigo discute os impactos decorrentes da crise climática em crianças e adolescentes e os principais temas elencados pela ONU no Comentário Geral nº 26 tendo como ponto de partida o conceito de justiça climática e a discussão em torno da infância, bem como das particularidades da infância indígena. Por fim, aborda recomendações e diretrizes para a garantia dos direitos da criança e dos adolescentes com foco em questões ambientais e climáticas. Para tanto, utilizou-se na metodologia de revisão bibliográfica acerca das temáticas, bem como dados disponibilizados por organizações civis e centros de pesquisa e documentos oficiais que versam sobre a crise climática e os direitos da criança e adolescente produzidos por organismos internacionais, a exemplo da ONU e do UNICEF.
A parrésia em Foucault: ou o dizer a verdade com franqueza para se arriscar
Authors: Dos Santos Yvisson Gomes , Lima Walter Matias
Published: October 2024

O presente artigo articula os conceitos de parrésia e do arriscar-se no âmbito da filosofia de Michel Foucault. Para tal, empregam-se os elementos pragmáticos do falar franco, precedido do conhece-te a ti mesmo e do cuidado de si da filosofia socrático-platônica-aristotélica e da antiguidade tardia estudadas pelo filósofo francês em sua estética da existência. Busca-se explicitar com os conceitos parresiásticos a urdidura do filósofo contemporâneo e frisar a importância de governa-se, primeiramente, para governar os outros. Isso se dará através da afrodisia e de uma dietética que visam articular-se na dialética filosófica da qual Foucault chama de desvelamento à liberdade. Por fim, o ato parresiástico se traduz no arriscar-se como um incitamento ao trabalho crítico e ético do filósofo.

O presente estudo apresenta a possibilidade versus a desejabilidade do sentido absoluto dos Direitos Humanos em Norberto Bobbio. Sem a pretensão de esgotar o assunto, busca-se apresentar, com o máximo de detalhes, a complexidade dos direitos humanos por meio da filosofia de Bobbio. O estudo explora três questões principais: o sentido problemático de um fundamento absoluto dos direitos humanos; a possibilidade e a desejabilidade de tal base absoluta, com o objetivo de extrair um conceito de Direitos Humanos seguindo o raciocínio de Bobbio. Os resultados indicam que esses direitos são complexos e que, por mais desejável que seja, um fundamento absoluto é impossível, considerando a diversidade de culturas e costumes dos países signatários.

Objetivo: Revisar acerca dos aspectos genéticos, clínicos e o tratamento da Leucemia linfoide crônica (LLC). Métodos: Revisão integrativa, baseada na pergunta: “Quais os principais aspectos que envolvem o tratamento da LLC?”. Resultados: As células linfocíticas linfoides crônicas são caracterizadas por um perfil fenotípico compatível com linfócitos B de memória ativados por interação com antígeno e também apresentam marcadores observados em linfócitos T. Em torno de 70% dos pacientes apresentam-se assintomáticos, entretanto, os sintomáticos podem cursar com náuseas e vômitos. O manejo dos pacientes diagnosticados com LLC é bastante variando, sendo que podem ser observados de forma periódica sem que seja necessária a instituição de um fármaco específico para o tratamento. As principais abordagens incluem a utilização de quimioterapia combinada, corticosteroides, agentes alquilantes, análogos da purina, anticorpos monoclonais, quimioimunoterapia e até transplante. Considerações finais: A LLC é uma patologia de apresentações clínicas heterogêneas e de curso clínico variável. É considerada como uma anomalia monoclonal e que apresenta alterações cromossômicas de deleção e translocação, especialmente nos braços 14, 11 e 13. Em três estudos randomizados fase III de tratamento inicial de LLC, a fludarabina mostrou maior taxa de resposta global e resposta completa que qualquer outro esquema quimioterápico convencional como clorambucil e associação com ciclofosfamida, doxorrubicina e prednisona.
