Published: August 2022

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo, realizar uma revisão bibliográfica demonstrando o processo de evolução da espécie bubalina, suas características produtivas, e descrever o atual cenário no Brasil, no Maranhão e no Mundo sobre a criação de distribuição de bubalinos como uma alternativa de espécie de alto valor zootécnico. Realizou-se um levantamento bibliográfico em pariódicos científicos nacionais e internacionais. Sendo inclusos trabalho em inglês e português com temas relacionados a pesquisa, E devido à escassez da publicação na área, não foram determinados intervalos tempo para as publicações. Sendo assim, é evidenciado que a bubalinocultura tem se desenvolvido e evoluído, mesmo com as dificuldades impostas, ora pelo local inapropriado para criação de animais de qualidade, e ora pelo desconhecimento do seu real potencial produtivos e dos benefícios de seus produtos. Desta forma, faz-se necessário o desenvolvimento de mais pesquisas, para atestar que esses animais conseguem atingir índices zootécnicos significativos, e superiores aos demais animais de produção, mesmo com acesso a alimentos de qualidades inferiores.

Authors: Dambros Marlei , Peron Lucélia
Published: August 2022

Desde a sua criação, as universidades brasileiras fortalecem o colonialismo por meio dos ideais elitistas e do conhecimento eurocêntrico. É a partir do século XX que a educação superior é instigada a reconhecer a existência da colonialidade do poder, do ser e do saber e, com isso, precisa enfrentar o desafio de descolonizar os meios de acesso a esse nível de ensino e o conhecimento acadêmico, por meio de mudanças epistemológicas, curriculares e atitudinais. A partir da perspectiva decolonial, esse texto tem como objetivo apresentar a experiência da Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul - UFFS. O trabalho foi elaborado a partir da análise do conteúdo de documentos que vão desde a constituição da universidade em 2008, até as políticas e regulamentos construídas até o ano de 2019. Pode-se aferir, que essa instituição atua como uma possibilidade de uma universidade descolonial, intercultural e emancipadora, que tem como pressuposto a democratização do conhecimento, para o encontro de diferentes culturas e sabers. Neste sentido, tem-se a convicção de que a UFFS anuncia importantes mudanças no que tange à oferta de Educação Superior pública e gratuita. Nos seus limites institucionais, move-se para a assunção de seu efetivo caráter popular.

Published: August 2022

Com o trabalho buscou-se verificar o atendimento de requisitos de eficiência energética em residências construídas nos anos de 1890 e 1920 na cidade de Manaus-AM. Para isso, aplicou-se a metodologia de certificação do Selo Procel em 09 residências. Com os resultados, constatou-se que 55,56% das residências estudadas atingiram níveis de eficiência energética de excelente (A) a bom (B), influenciadas por fatores como área em contato com o exterior, direção das fachadas e presença de ventilação cruzada. Dessa forma, as residências construídas no período analisado foram projetadas para proporcionar o máximo de conforto térmico utilizando a própria construção, que apesar de terem sido construídas há mais de um século, atenderam a aspectos de eficiência energética formalizados décadas depois, podendo as construções atuais retomarem as concepções por elas utilizadas, com as devidas pertinências.

Published: August 2022

Coronary artery disease is one of the major cardiovascular diseases and is a cardiac condition where plaque formed in arteries leads to death worldwide. The identification of CAD in the traditional approach needs a report of ECG, TMT ECG, Pharmacological test, and echocardiogram. The confirmation of CAD leads to undergoing cardiac catheterization. An effective prediction system that can detect the existence of CAD with an initial test like ECG or TMT ECG report image will act as a good assistance to doctors and patients undergoing periodic health monitoring. The present study is focused on developing a prediction system for CAD disease based on raw and filtered, single lead and twelve lead ECG signal images. The algorithm results are compared with transfer learning algorithms. The novelty of the work is highlighted by the fact that the prediction accuracy of the developed algorithm, with single lead and twelve lead ECG or TMT ECG signals (accuracy of approximately 93.5% for single lead and 94.5% for twelve lead) is much higher compared to transfer learned algorithms. The developed model exhibited better accuracy with lesser number of layers compared to deeper pre-trained algorithms.

Authors: Shanjuvigasini F N U , Pitchai Swarnakumari , Staten Bridget Hollis
Published: August 2022

ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in children that persist into adulthood. Commonly used medications, like stimulants, have serious side effects and short-lived effects, which limit their usage to a small group of children. This predicament leaves room for the exploration of various Complementary Alternative Medicines (CAM) and their efficacy in the place of pharmacological treatment or as an add-on treatment to reduce the dosage of stimulant medication. The absence of side effects draws parents to CAM. Some of the standard CAM therapies discussed in this article are dietary changes, behavioral changes, academic or school-based interventions, homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Cognitive training, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Neurofeedback, Meditation, and yoga. Though the efficacy of the non-pharmacological treatments is still conflicting, parents continue to try out these Complementary and Alternative Medicines and Therapies and report improvements in ADHD symptoms and behavioral and academic gains.

Published: August 2022

Myofacial trigger points and other pain syndromes can be treated with dry needling (DN), a therapeutic technique. There is still a dearth of evidence supporting the use of DN with functional assessment in neurological diseases. This pilot study investigated the effects of DN on hemiplegic patients' spasticity and static balance. 10 chronic stroke survivors (>3 months onset) were included in a single group pilot study. The Modified Tardieu scale and the Modified Ashworth scale (MAS) were used to measure spasticity. The Berg balance scale was used to evaluate balance (BBS). These stroke patients underwent conventional physiotherapy along with 6 DN sessions for spastic soleus muscle over the course of two weeks on alternate days. Results were evaluated before and after the six sessions. Pre- and post-analysis of the MAS, Modified Tardieu scale, and BBS are conducted using the Unpair t Test. All 3 outcome indicators experienced a substantial improvement (p 0.05). The resistance to passive movements from the plantar flexor muscles decreased, and MAS showed progress from Grade 3 to 1+. The Tardieu scale revealed a 12 degree improvement in ankle ranges. The Berg balance scale score climbed by 7 and stroke patients' balance dramatically improved.

Published: August 2022

Introducción: los inhibidores de punto de control inmunitario (IPCI) han revolucionado el tratamiento de los pacientes con cáncer, incrementando la supervivencia libre de enfermedad y son terapias con aval para el manejo de neoplasias sólidas. Entre los eventos adversos frecuentes se encuentran los que ocurren a nivel del sistema endocrino y se reporta el caso de una paciente tratada con anti CTLA-4 y anti PD-1 que desarrolló hipofisitis y adrenalitis.
Objetivo: describir el caso de una paciente que presentó endocrinopatías (hipofisitis y adrenalitis) asociadas al uso de IPCI, en una clínica en la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia.
Presentación del caso: mujer de 74 años con antecedente de carcinoma de células renales tratada con ipilimumab y nivolumab, suspendidos por neumonitis. Tres meses después acudió a urgencias por disminución de clase funcional y somnolencia, el examen físico mostró hipotensión y se evidenció hiponatremia, hipotónica y cortisol basal disminuido. Por ello, se solicitó perfil hipofisario, encontrando somatomedina y hormona folículo estimulante (FSH) bajas y hormona adrenocorticotropa ACTH elevada, además, se realizó resonancia de silla turca sin alteración estructural y se concluyó hipofisitis con imagen normal e insuficiencia adrenal primaria secundaria a adrenalitis.
Discusión y conclusión: los inhibidores del punto de control inmunitario son medicamentos actualmente utilizados para diferentes tipos de neoplasias, estos medicamentos se asocian en un porcentaje significativo con endocrinopatías, sin embargo, encontrar la afectación de dos glándulas endocrinas es inusual, este es el segundo caso reportado en la literatura con hipofisitis y adrenalitis.
Se deben reconocer las manifestaciones clínicas de las endocrinopatías asociadas a la inmunoterapia, teniendo en cuenta el uso creciente de estas terapias para diferentes neoplasias. El compromiso de más de una glándula endocrina es infrecuente, sin embargo, se debe sospechar y reconocer. Además, es importante establecer en cada centro un protocolo para el abordaje y el seguimiento de estos pacientes.
Taper Off Treatment Can Improve Executive Functions and Regulate Expression of BDNF and 5HTTPLR Genes in Opium Abusers after Six Months Period
Authors: Haghighatfard Arvin
Published: August 2022

Opium is the dried latex obtained from the opium poppy. Opium addiction is the most prevalent addiction in Iranian society. During the last two decades "congress 60" a nongovernmental organization, has been performed a taper off treatment of opium associated with a package of psychological treatment group classes. While the effectiveness of taper off method in opium addiction has been confirmed, molecular mechanisms of this treatment in addicts are not clarified. BDNF gene is a brain-derived neurotrophic factor which is related to several molecular mechanisms of the brain including memory. 5-HTTPLR is a transporter of serotonin that is related to the decision-making process. In present study mRNA level of BDNF and 5-HTTPLR genes in peripheral blood of 20 non-psychiatric persons and 79 opium addicted individuals before and after six months period of taper off treatment was examined by using Real-Time PCR and confirmed by protein level analysis using Western blotting. In addition, executive functions including memory and decision making were analyzed in all participants. Results showed significant down expression of BDNF and 5-HTTPLR in addict persons vs. non psychiatric persons. Also significantly increase detected in BDNF (p<0.01) and5-HTTPLR (p<0.01) expression level in addicts after six months of therapy period. Similar results with gene expression results revealed in protein level analysis. Also, significant improvements in memory and decision making were revealed in addicts after therapy and these improvements were correlated with the expression level of BDNF and 5-HTTPLR. Findings revealed the effect of opium abuse and taper off treatment on the expression of BDNF and 5-HTTPLR. In addition, the association of BDNF mRNA level with psychological states of addict's individuals detected. Results of the present study may help to a better understanding of molecular and neuropsychological mechanisms of opium addiction and taper off treatment. Also, present BDNF and 5-HTTPLR as potential markers for screening the effectiveness of different kinds of addiction treatment.

The Impact of Cardio Renal Syndrome (CRS) in Renal Transplant Recipients: A Systematic Review
Authors: Nasreldin Mohamed Ahmed
Published: August 2022

Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with CKD. This risk is increased fivefold in renal transplant patients when compared to an age-matched population. This study aims to explore and focus on the risk factors, management, and outcomes of cardiorenal syndrome in renal transplant recipients and to estimate its deleterious effect on the heart and renal allograft, opening the door for future randomized clinical trials to look at the problem in more depth. The current literature has little information and data on the impact of cardiorenal syndrome on the renal allograft and heart regardless of the specific type of cardiorenal syndrome. Renal transplant recipients can develop any one of the five types of the cardiorenal syndrome because of having both conventional and established risk factors for developing CRS. These risk factors particularly the established ones or best described as non-traditional risk factors such as immunosuppressive medications, acute renal allograft rejection, suboptimal renal allograft function, anemia, infections, proteinuria, and hyperparathyroidism are usually neglected after renal transplantation. Although the prevalence of CRS is low among renal transplant recipients, we believe that is due to under diagnosis and lack of clinical trials leading to a knowledge gap in this subject area. Methodology: The present study conducted a systematic literature review and selected four Clinical trials of CRS in renal transplant recipients for datasets analysis to gain more knowledge about the risk factors contributing to CRS in renal transplant recipients and to produce a strategy to prevent CRS and manage such patients better. Results: This systematic review of the current literature revealed that the presence of non-traditional risk factors post-renal transplantation when combined with traditional risk factors can significantly increase the risk of developing CRS where the prognosis is almost always poor in such patients. The study also showed no difference in the preventive measures and management of CRS between renal transplant recipients and non-renal transplant recipients. Conclusion: Renal transplant recipients are at increased risk of developing CRS with poor outcomes compared to non-renal transplant recipients because of the additional non-traditional risk factors post-renal transplantation. However, the preventive measures and management of CRS in renal transplant recipients are similar to those used for the general population but more attention should be paid to the correction of non-traditional risk factors.
Lower IGFBP-1 Plasma Levels in Mothers of Autistic Children
Authors: Russo AJ
Published: August 2022

IGF-I is an important growth factor and hormone which regulates protein turnover as well as having potent mitogenic and differentiating effects on most cell types.IGF binding proteins (IGFBP) act as carrier proteins and regulators by controlling bioavailability of IGF-I to tissues. We used immune-arrays to measure IGFBP-1in mothers of autistic children and found that the levels were significantly lower than levels in mothers of non-autistic children. IGF has been found to be decreased in autism. We suggest that these low levels are associated with low maternal IGFBP-1.
Chinese Spirits Combined with Meat or Peanut as Antidote to 2019n-Cov Viruses and General Way to Keep Healthy by Oneself
Authors: J Zhang
Published: August 2022

The 2019n-Cov caused serious health problem to human being, it is same severe as SARS but infectious as influenza viruses, it makes people must be quarantined from each other and impacted the world economy; however, people’s health couldn’t be castrated by the viruses, the problem must be solved to save people’s health as well as the world economy. In October 2020, President Trump also got infected by this novel coronavirus, but he got cured and recovered to health immediately by his therapy of a special antibody-cocktail, and that is just equivalent to alcohol (ethanol) with complete protein for immunity after eating. This provided a hint for solving the 2019n-Cov problem, it shows that alcohol with protein could probably cure the novel coronaviruses infection and perfect recover one’s health therefrom, as Trump did. By looking up literature in Chinese medicine, Trump’s experience exactly fits the description that drinking alcohol could recover one’s health perfectly when he was infected by virus as the people in prehistorical eras. Alcohol is a traditional beverage for food in China and it is beneficial to health if one drinks it when and only when he likes because that could increase his total dopamine which is what makes one happy and therefore healthy, dopamine is that pneuma which is the sunshine to one’s health in the Inner Bible of the Yellow Emperor, and this is same to the view that one’s mood is the determinant factor to one’s health, as modern medicine thinks. For the moderate intake of alcohol is healthy, it is different from and totally not drug, drug actually decreases one’s dopamine and only damages one’s health, and alcohol is not a drug, and it could increase one’s dopamine when he likes and therefore benefit one’s health. Alcohol is a healthy food when taking it moderately, it would directly exist in blood after drinking and its disinfection effect by denaturing proteins could probably still same work even being diluted in blood and may be able curing the 2019n-Cov infection. According to President Trump’s successful practice, Chinese spirits combined with protein abundant foods (to neutralize its effect to human body) should be an effective antidote to the 2019n-Cov viruses and enable one to recover health perfectly therefrom.
Experimental Research on Bit Side Force and Anti-deviation in Vertical Well
Authors: H Zhang
Published: August 2022

Based on dimensional method, the similarity criterion of simulation test was derived. The experimental apparatus was established in accordance with the similarity criterion. A series of experiments with different drilling parameter were carried out. The experimental results show that with rotary speed rise, the bit side force fluctuation increased, however, the vibration energy at the dominant frequency decreased, at low rotary speed, the dominant frequency of the bit side force is equal to rotation frequency of drill string, and at high rotary speed, the dominant frequency is consistent with the backward whirl frequency of drill string, which is about 3 times of rotation frequency, moreover, as WOB rise, the vibration energy at dominant frequency increased, while the total wave energy decreased, and the critical rotary speed value at the jump process of the dominant frequency increased. Furthermore, for the purpose of deviation controlled straight drilling, there is the problem of optimization grouping between WOB and rotary speed.

Profesi  guru bisa jadi akan menempati surga yang sangat tinggi disamping para Nabi, jika ia mampu memberikan pelayananan pendidikan yang baik dan benar. Karena dari hasil didikannya itu, murid akan mengamalkan dengan baik dan benar atas ilmu yang diterimanya.  Nabi pernah bersabda, ” Barang siapa yang menunjukan kebaikan, maka ia akan mendapatkan ganjaran  dari orang yang melaksanakan kebaikan tersebut ”.  Namun, profesi guru bisa  jadi akan menempati keraknya neraka yang paling dasar, karena ia telah mendidik dan mengajarkan suatu ilmu yang salah, sehingga muridnya tersebut melaksanakan suatu ilmu dengan tidak baik dan tidak benar. Maka penting untuk mengupas ”makna-makna guru” yang ada dalam khazanah Islam, sebagai landasan dan ikatan  etis teologis bagi guru-guru dalam menjalankan profesinya dibelantara dunia pendidikan.              

Makna lain sebutan guru yaitu ”mua’allim” yang diambil dari kata dasar ’ilm yang berarti menangkap hakikat sesuatu.

Guru  dalam khazanah Islam memiliki beberapa kompetensi dasar yaitu, sebagai ustad (profesor ) yang memegang teguh komitmen profesi, sebagai guru yang bermakna optimal dalam transfer ilmu teoritis dan hikmah ilmu, sebagai murrabi yang mampu menciptakan dan mengatur pendidikan ke arah lebih baik,  sebagai mudarris yang berarti memberantas kebodohan mereka, dan sebagai muaddib yang berarti guru sebagai orang yang beradab untuk membangun peradaban masa depan.

Published: August 2022

Doon valley is famous for monocultures of moist Sal resulted due to various silvicultural operations in the past. However, in recent years these forests were subjected to numerous anthropogenic perturbations, which have posed a great threat to their existence. In the present paper, we have analyzed the diversity and structure of moist Sal forests and compared them with the previous studies. After analyzing the results, we found that these forests are still dominated by the Sal tree. However, the structure of shrub and herb layers has been changed. These layers, once dominated by shade loving Clerodendrum viscosum, are now being dominated by xerophytic species like Mallotus philippensis, Litsea glutinosa, Flacourtia indica etc. The general diversity of tree, shrub and herb layers has increased in these forests and so is the heterogeneity.

Constant rise in inflation rate as compared to income of many household coupled with several other fluctuating economic conditions leads to the issue of financial stress. Due to these instabilities, people find it difficult to create balance between work and personal life and acquisition of new knowledge. The literature review has revealed that there exists a relationship between the financial condition and work-life balance as well as between financial condition and new knowledge acquisition. This study attempts to investigate that how much one variable causes its influence on another variable especially for salaried class households working in organization. Salaried class is highly hit because of Covid-19 pandemic and is suffering from constant increase in inflation. The Government of Pakistan has also given a little relief to salaried class in the recent budget. The data is collected through self-administered questionnaires from the individuals working in IT organizations of Lahore. IT industry is chosen because of the constant change in technology. The learning factor is maximum in this sector and employees can be given work at any time because they know how to use technology which can disturb work life balance. However, because of financial instability and less job opportunities employers can take extra advantage of their employees. The findings of this study reveal that financial conditions significantly affect work-life balance; thereby, increasing the possibility of acquiring new knowledge.

The importance of face mask (FM) is a major concern for the entire human society in the current circumstances. All peopleshould wear FM in order to lower the chance of infection due to several diseases. It is very much essential to track the peoplewho have not worn the FM in different crowded places, so that warning can be given to them to wear FM in order to lower thespread of infection of different diseases. So, the classification of human face images (HFIs) into human face with mask images(HFWMIs) and human face without mask images (HFWOMIs) types is an essential requirement in this situation. In this work, amachine intelligent (MI) based approach is proposed for the classification of HFIs into HFWMIs and HFWOMIs types. Theproposed approach is focused on the stacking (hybridization) of Logistic Regression (LRG), Support Vector Machine (SVMN),Random Forest (RFS) and Neural Network (NNT) methods to carry out such classification. The proposed method is comparedwith other machine learning (ML) based methods such as LRG, SVMN, RFS, NNT, Decision Tree (DTR), AdaBoost (ADB),Naïve Bayes (NBY), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNNH) and Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGDC) for performance analysis. Theproposed method and other ML based methods have been implemented using Python based Orange 3.26.0. In this work, 200HFWMIs and 200 HFWOMIs are taken from the Kaggle source. The performance of all the methods is assessed using theperformance parameters such as classification accuracy (CA), F1, Precision (PR) and Recall (RC). From the results, it is found that the proposed method is capable of providing better classification results in terms of CA,F1,PR and RC ascompared to other ML based methods such as LRG, SVMN,RFS, NNT,DTR,ADB, NBY, KNNHand SGD.
