Published: October 2024

A bactéria Helicobater pylori (HP) está presente em estimadamente 50% da população mundial e possui íntima ligação com as moléstias gastroenterologicas. Seu rastreamento pode ser realizado de múltiplas formas e é solicitado quando há suspeita da influência dela em processos inflamatórios como a gastrite, úlcera péptica e câncer gástrico. A pesquisa do HP é realizada também, com frequência, no pré e pós operatório da Cirurgia Bariátrica. A intervenção cirúrgica em pacientes obesos, comumente chamada de cirurgia bariátrica, é realizada há décadas no brasil, com a implicação de diversas técnicas de manejo. A relação entre o prognóstico da cirurgia bariátrica com a ausência da H. pylori vem sido estudada para refinar o resultado dos procedimentos, o que explica seu rastreio pré cirurgico. O presente estudo tem como objetivo elencar a necessidade de manter o rastreamento do Helicobacter pylori de forma contínua no pós operatório dos pacientes, bem como comparar a evolução que segue o procedimento nos pacientes positivos e negativos para a bácteria.  Por meio da análise dos prontuários de um centro de especialidade Gastroenterológica do Oeste do Paraná, especificamente dos pacientes que realizaram a cirurgia bariátrica e fizeram o rastreio do HP, foi comparado o comportamento da bactéria em relação ao pré e pós operatório do procedimento. O H. pylori foi detectado em 17,42% dos pacientes no pré-cirúrgico, e a maioria conseguiu eliminar a infecção após a cirurgia. Embora 7,56% dos pacientes tenham desenvolvido complicações, como úlceras e erosões, essas complicações não foram exclusivamente associadas à presença de H. pylori, já que muitos pacientes negativos também tiveram complicações. Em geral, o controle de H. pylori foi eficaz, mas pacientes que permaneceram positivos após a cirurgia precisam de acompanhamento adicionail.

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar o impacto dos transtornos de ansiedade e depressão na saúde bucal, com foco nos distúrbios estomatológicos que podem surgir, ou ainda serem intensificados,  como resultado, e nos mecanismos biológicos, comportamentais e psicossociais que ajudam a explicar essa conexão. A construção desta revisão foi guiada pela estratégia PICO (P − população; I − intervenção/área de interesse; C − Comparação; O − outcomes/desfecho),a qual norteou a elaboração da pergunta orientadora, a fim de direcionar a coleta de dados nas seguintes bases: PUBMED, Scielo - Scientific Electronic Library Online, Biblioteca virtual de saúde (BVS), The Cochrane Library, Scirus e Periódicos. As palavras-chave foram selecionadas de acordo com os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DECS): “Psychological Factors, Oral Health e Stomatology”. Portanto, conclui-se que as manifestações orais estão intimamente relacionadas aos distúrbios mentais. Nesse sentido, torna-se necessário que os cirurgiões-dentistas possuam amplo conhecimento para reconhecer a necessidade de intervenção multidisciplinar e fornecer ao paciente um tratamento mais eficaz e integral.

O surgimento e a expansão das redes sociais nas últimas décadas trouxeram uma revolução na maneira como os indivíduos interagem e se comunicam. Especialmente entre os adolescentes, que passam, em média, três horas diárias nessas plataformas, há uma crescente preocupação em relação ao impacto do uso excessivo das redes sociais na saúde mental. Este estudo tem como objetivo compreender os fatores que levam ao desenvolvimento de transtornos psiquiátricos em adolescentes devido ao uso das redes sociais e discutir estratégias de manejo clínico. Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura, analisando estudos publicados de 2019 a 2024 em bases de dados acadêmicas reconhecidas, como PubMed, Scopus e PsycINFO. A busca identificou 150 artigos, dos quais 30 atenderam aos critérios de inclusão para análise detalhada. Os resultados sugerem que a exposição às redes sociais está associada a taxas aumentadas de ansiedade, depressão, transtorno de déficit de atenção e hiperatividade (TDAH), transtornos alimentares e comportamentos autolesivos. Fatores como comparação social, cyberbullying e dependência digital foram identificados como contribuintes significativos para esses problemas de saúde mental. Intervenções eficazes, incluindo terapia cognitivo-comportamental, apoio parental e iniciativas educacionais, são essenciais para mitigar esses riscos. Em conclusão, uma abordagem multifacetada envolvendo famílias, escolas e profissionais de saúde é crucial para promover o uso responsável das redes sociais e proteger a saúde mental dos adolescentes.

The Postcolonial Unconscious in North African Migrant Fiction
Authors: ALI Imad OILAD
Published: October 2024

The impact of the postcolonial unconscious on North African migrant fiction has been extensively explored and revealed through both theoretical frameworks and literary practices throughout the postcolonial era. Scholars and writers alike have delved into how the psychological remnants of colonialism continue to influence the narratives, themes, and character development in this body of work. This ongoing examination highlights the deep-seated cultural and psychological legacies that shape the identities and experiences of both individuals and communities within North African migrant literature. As a reflection of the long-lasting consequences of colonial history on people and society, North African migrant writers, like other postcolonial writers worldwide, tackle themes of identity, displacement, and post-colonialism. Theorists like Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, Frantz Fanon, and Jacques Derrida have theorized that the unconscious influences language and subject creation, which in turn shapes their narratives. This analysis uses Fanon’s concept of the postcolonial unconscious, which explores the psychological effects of colonialism, such as internalized trauma and cultural hybridity, as a major framework. This study examines how postcolonial unconscious and related themes appear in the writing of North African writers who have immigrated to Europe and the USA, emphasizing the psychological and cultural effects of colonization on both individuals and groups. In addition to offering in-depth examinations of some texts, the paper presents a comprehensive view of the importance of postcolonial literary criticism in comprehending the complexities of postcolonial societies.
Five Models Used in Contrastive Semantics: A Comprehensive Synthesis and Analysis
Authors: Toan Ly
Published: October 2024

The present study aims to assess and contrast five different approaches in the field of contrastive semantics: natural semantic metalanguage (NSM), conceptual metaphor theory (CMT), frame semantics (FC), semantic field theory (SFT), and cognitive grammar (CG). The research is set to review the available literature on the described techniques in order to focus on their distinguishing characteristics, practical applications, and illustrative samples. The findings reveal that these five models do play an insightful role when it comes to analyzing and comparing synonymous and semantically related profiles across distinct languages. Relations of semantic elements are the core concern of NSM while CMT investigates the internal schemata of the mind. As opposed to cognitive frame analysis, where knowledge structures are the central object of study, in SFT are language units grouped according to their meaning, while CG sees no separation of grammatical and meaning structures. This paper expounds on how these frameworks fill the gaps left by each of them and offers a broader understanding of the ways words encode meaning and how speakers of different cultures think about the world. Moreover, this study augments the knowledge regarding the variations of languages and gives an understanding of how languages relate to cognition, culture, and how people think about the world through words.
Leveraging Large Language Models to Automate SOP in Warehouses Managed by Warehouse Management Systems
Authors: - Gautham Ram Rajendiran
Published: October 2024

Warehouses that handle inventory management in logistics and supply chain typically involve the use of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in order to deal with exceptional scenarios or to handle a very rare situation. This paper proposes a conceptual framework that leverages capabilities provided by Large Language Models (LLM) in order to build a system that can automate such SOP interpretation and execution. The system is designed adapting to different scenarios that can arise while working on a SOP. This idea sets the foundation for further research into scalable and adaptive SOP automation for warehouse operations.

Anatomy of a Murder: Sirhan Sirhan and Robert Kennedy
Authors: O'Sullivan Shane
Published: October 2024

Shane O’Sullivan’s Anatomy of a Murder – Sirhan Sirhan and Robert Kennedy is a video essay that combines archival material, interview, witness statements and parole hearing recordings relating to the case of Sirhan Sirhan, the person found guilty of assassinating Senator Robert Kennedy in 1968, intercut with footage from trials in well-known Hollywood films. It is a controversial video and, as such, has elicited divergent peer reviews, particularly with regard to its ambiguous position both as an academic research film and polemical campaign video. We therefore publish this partly because of its strengths but also to highlight problems and questions it might raise relating to the place of polemical campaign videos in the context of academic filmmaking – as a contribution to the ongoing dialogue about what constitutes screen media practice research
Empagliflozin modulates seizure activity and oxidative stress in rats with epilepsy
Authors: Holla Neha , Adiga Shalini , Kumari Meena , Rao Kapettu Gadahad Mohandas , Naik Prameetha
Published: October 2024

Drug-resistant epilepsy, a commonly devastating condition, affects more than 50 million people globally. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with an increased risk of neurological disorders, and a potential association between epilepsy and subsequent T2DM has emerged. Inhibiting sodium-glucose linked transporters (SGLTs), which are differentially expressed in the brain, has been shown to reduce epileptic episode activity. This study aimed to evaluate the anticonvulsive effect of empagliflozin in rats with seizures induced by maximal electric shock (MES) and pentylenetetrazol (PTZ). Generalized tonic‒clonic seizures were induced in the rats using an electroconvulsive meter, and pentylenetetrazol was injected to induce absence seizures. The duration of all the stages of seizure and Racine stage scoring (RSS) were performed. Malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO) and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels in the brain tissues were determined. Histopathological analysis of the brain tissues was carried out. A significant (p <0.01) decrease in the duration of tonic hind limb extension (THLE), a significant decrease in the levels of pro-oxidants such as MDA and NO, and an increase in the levels of antioxidants such as GSH were observed in the low dose 10 mg/kg and high dose 20 mg/kg empagliflozin groups compared to the disease control group. Histopathological analysis revealed a greater number of healthy neurons with few dark-stained cells in the treatment groups, suggesting the neuroprotective effect of empagliflozin. The present study showed that empagliflozin modulates epileptic activity. Empagliflozin has a potential role in the management of epilepsy in diabetic patients.
Effects of vitamin E on calcium signaling and oxidative injury in neutrophils of patients with ischemia/reperfusion (surgical arthroscopy) under sevoflurane anesthesia
Authors: Osmanlıoğlu Hacı Ömer , Yavuz Lütfi , Çiğ Bilal , Nazıroğlu Mustafa
Published: October 2024

Sevoflurane is an anesthetic, and it acts on oxidative activity by activating Ca2+ influx. In human neutrophils, oxidative stress activates the voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC) and the TRPM2 channel; on the other hand, these channels are inhibited by 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) and verapamil plus diltiazem (V+D), respectively. Under sevoflurane anesthesia, surgical arthroscopy poses a significant risk to oxidative stress and Ca2+ influx-induced neutrophil infiltration and injury of patients. However, vitamin E may inhibit lipid peroxidation (LP) by upregulating reduced glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) but downregulating TRPM2 and VGCC in the neutrophils of surgical arthroscopy patients. This topic was examined in the current study. We enrolled 20 patients in the current study, separating them into two primary groups: patients and patients plus vitamin E. Ten patients were divided into two groups: preoperative (N1) and postoperative (N2), both of which were not given vitamin E therapy. The remaining ten patients were given 300 IU of vitamin E two hours prior to their surgical arthroscopy (E1), and their blood was again drawn following the procedure (E2). Prior to fMLP stimulation, the isolated neutrophils from each of the four groups were cultured with 10 uM V+D and 100 uM 2-APB. In the neutrophils, there was an increase in intracellular free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) concentration and LP levels due to the downregulation of GSH and GSH-Px; however, following vitamin E treatment, GSH concertation and GSH-Px activity increased in the E2 group. While 2-APB and V+D treatment reduced the concentration of [Ca2+]i in the neutrophils, vitamin E administration had no effect on this measurement. In summary, vitamin E treatment mitigated the GSH and GSH-Px alterations induced by I/R damage, while TRPM2 and VGCC inhibition reduced the [Ca2+]i rise induced by I/R injury. One potential treatment approach for I/R-induced oxidative neutrophil damage is the suppression of TRPM2 and VGCC.

Robust Recovery of Robinson Property in $L^p$-Graphons: A Cut-Norm Approach
Authors: Ghandehari Mahya , Mishura Teddy
Published: October 2024

This paper investigates the Robinson graphon completion/recovery problem within the class of $L^p$-graphons, focusing on the range $5
 5$, any $L^p$-graphon $w$ can be approximated by a Robinson graphon, with error of the approximation bounded in terms of $\Lambda(w)$. When viewing $w$ as a noisy version of a Robinson graphon, our method provides a concrete recipe for recovering a cut-norm approximation of a noiseless $w$. Given that any symmetric matrix is a special type of graphon, our results can be applicable to symmetric matrices of any size. Our work extends and improves previous results, where a similar question for the special case of $L^\infty$-graphons was answered.
Some Locally Kneser Graphs
Authors: Brouwer Andries
Published: October 2024

The Kneser graph $K(n,d)$ is the graph on the $d$-subsets of an $n$-set, adjacent when disjoint. Clearly, $K(n+d,d)$ is locally $K(n,d)$. Hall showed for $n \ge 3d+1$ that there are no further examples. Here we give other examples of locally $K(n,d)$ graphs for $n = 3d$, and some further sporadic examples. It follows that Hall's bound is best possible.

Authors: Mahara Azhura Dea , Hartono Didik
Published: October 2024

The effect of corrective feedback can result in various negative to positive effects on the student’s motivation in speaking skills. Corrective feedback has been used to correct the students’ mistakes. This research aims to explore the use of corrective feedback to the student’s motivation in learning speaking skills. It was conducted through an online platform for higher-level students at Brawijaya University. The respondents are 56 students who claimed to have experience in receiving corrective feedback as well as having knowledge of corrective feedback. The researcher used a Quantitative-Descriptive method by collecting data using questionaries. Using quantitative methods, this study employed close-ended questions. As a result, numerical data was expected to be analyzed for the source of the research data. The results showed that although corrective feedback can be seen as a way that can improve students’ academic skills, it is proven that it can be a negative aspect in improving students’ motivation in speaking skills. This research is expected to bring out an awareness about giving feedback to the students in order to improve their speaking skills.

ACOUSTIC VESSELS OF THE MIDDLE AGES AND RESONATORS (HOLOSNIKI) OF CHERNIHIV CHURCHES
Authors: Chernenko O.
Published: October 2024

The use of so-called acoustic vessels in medieval monumental architecture is a subject of debate. These vessels were most often placed in the arches and vaults of buildings. Sometimes their necks, exposed to the interior spaces, formed decorative compositions. However, it is incomprehensible whether they actually improved the acoustic properties of buildings. It is suggested that these vessels were intended to reduce the weight of the building structures instead. There is also no clear understanding of when and where the tradition of their use originated or how it spread. Nevertheless, the presence of «acoustic vessels» in hundreds of buildings from the 10th to the 18th centuries in Europe and Asia Minor allows us to consider them as characteristic of medieval architecture and to view «acoustic vessels» as a specific building material.
The tradition of using acoustic vessels in Eastern Europe can be traced in the example of Chernihiv. In Chernihiv, they were documented during the research of the Transfiguration Cathedral and the 11th-century tomb church, as well as in the 12th-century Borisoglebsk and Assumption Cathedrals and the Pyatnytska Church of the 12th — early 13th centuries. Research materials indicate that specially made jugs were used as acoustic vessels in the construction of 11th-century Chernihiv. Later (not earlier than the second half of the 12th century), amphorae began to be used. In the example of Chernihiv, two main methods of using «acoustic vessels» in construction can be identified: numerous vessels filled the cavities of the vaults; one or several vessels were placed at the base of the vaults and arches. The first method is typically found in earlier buildings, while the second is more common in later ones.
A separate issue is the production of this specific building material. The early «acoustic vessels» of Chernihiv have no analogues among the traditional products of local potters. Most likely, their production was organized by the craftsmen who carried out the construction. Only much later the amphorae, arrived as imported items from the Mediterranean, began to be used.

Jewelry from the hoard dates to the se­cond half of 6th — late 7th century, and its deposition occurs in the middle — third quarter of 7th century. This assemblage was discovered outside the archaeological sites. Therefore it is possible that this hoard confirms the «household» version of the deposition of hoards proposed by one of the authors.
Mykilske hoard consisted of 4 whole (two couples) and head-plat of fifth radiate-headed fibulae, 2 lunar pendants with 3 trapezoidal pendants, fragmentary bracelet, 2 rings and bronze tubular beads: 5 spiral and 7 simple smooth ones.
The study of the chemical composition of the metal and its analysis make it possible to trace the techno­logy of objects manufacturing, to single out the individual operations and methods used by craftsmen. The production of items took place according to a single technological scheme — casting in two-piece clay cas­ting molds in combination with separate jewelry techniques, such as the use of stiffening ribs — longitudinal ribs in the manufacture of radiate-headed fibulae. Such a constructive detail, which is uncharacteristic for Crimean and Western European jewelers, is considered a local jewelry technique of the artisans of the Middle Dnieper region and the Dnieper forest-steppe Left Bank. Further morphological and trassological study of the objects from hoard make it possible to more fully trace the technique, operations and methods used by jewelers, to reconstruct the process of making jewelry and to highlight the characteristic features of jewelry of this region.
Who and how many people could be the owners of this assemblage is also a debatable question. However, the four radiate-headed fibulae may indicate at least two sets for clothing.
The Mykilske hoard was discovered in the area of the Kolochin culture. Downstream of the river Psel the Bezdryk barrow cemetery is located. A more precise definition of the ethno-cultural context is possible only after archaeological explorations in the microregion. However, this is currently impossible, because since the end of February 2022, after the full-scale invasion of russian troops, this territory has become an arena of hostilities and remains potentially dangerous. It is also located within a 20-kilometer zone from the state border of Ukraine, where scientific activities are currently prohibited.
Although the hoard is quite typical for this circle of antiquities, nevertheless, it adds information about the ethno-cultural situation in the region in the period of the 5th—7th centuries and the features of the spread of such assemblages among Slavs.

The article analyses features of state policy in the field of alternative energy sources, particularly replacing traditional energy resources with alternative energy sources, aiming to reduce the energy intensity of Ukraine’s gross domestic product and ensure the state’s energy security. It is noted that Ukraine has significant potential for developing alternative energy sources, particularly wind energy, solar energy, bioenergy, hydropower, and geothermal energy. An analysis of the growth dynamics of the installed capacity of alternative energy source facilities operating under the «green» tariff has shown that solar energy is currently the most developed in Ukraine. This creates a foundation for further development of wind and bioenergy. The main practical benefits of energy storage systems are highlighted, including ensuring electricity supply to businesses when the external grid is disconnected, storing cheap electricity during excess capacity, and supplying it during peak demand when it is more expensive. Additionally, these systems have the potential to support and restore grid frequency. Storing surplus energy from solar power plants can increase the overall efficiency of the energy system. The author identifies the main tasks to be implemented within state policy to ensure energy security. These include investing in the restoration and decentralization of the energy system (increasing the share of electricity production from alternative energy sources, including the construction of wind and solar power plants, as well as energy storage facilities for the development of energy storage technologies produced from renewable sources), building biomethane production capacities, introducing new types of environmentally friendly fuels, increasing the construction of interconnectors with ENTSO-E to integrate Ukraine’s electricity system with the European power grid, enhancing the localization of energy storage systems, implementing innovative and efficient technologies in the electricity distribution sector, including smart grids, microgrids, and «vehicle-to-grid» systems, and resolving issues related to the «green» tariff.

Drowning kills at least 3,72,000 people every year and is the 3rd leading cause of unintentional deaths. In addition to the human tragedy, drowning represents a huge economic problem with direct and indirect costs, including many Disability-Adjusted Life Years. In India, there is limited knowledge about the epidemiology of drowning.The objective of the study was to study the incidence, manner and epidemiology of deaths due to drowning in and around Vadodara region.The present study was conducted from May 2022 to April 2023 in Government Medical College, Baroda on 82 cases to study the various epidemiological parameters of drowning. In this study period, 1989 cases of post-mortem examination were done out of which 82 cases were of drowning deaths. A maximum number of cases were seen in the age group of 21–30 years with 43% cases of males, dominating the study population. 62% of deaths were accidental in nature and occurred during the rainy season. The most common place of occurrence of drowning was river (38%) followed by water canal (31%). Soddening of hands and feet was the most common external feature of drowning followed by the presence of froth at mouth and nostril. Drowning is a most ignored public hazard worldwide with serious implications for the society. Public awareness regarding safety measures and drowning prevention strategies suitable to the needs of geographical region should be adapted.

For detection of crime in Forensic medicine blood group studies& its application plays an important role. The study of blood grouping gives important information regarding identification and details of Crime Investigation. The most common trace evidence is blood which is obtained from the crime scene. Blood grouping & typing can point to a group of people that have the same blood type rather than pointing particular person. When blood is properly collected and preserved, blood as an evidence can establish a strong link between a criminal and the criminal act. We can trust the blood grouping of blood stains in detection of crime. Randomly A, B, AB, Rh positive blood samples were taken in duplicates and rusted pins, dust particles, detergent, staphylococci are added to it respectively. The common contaminants in blood stains are dust, rust, bacteria and detergent. So an effect of these on blood groups was studied in detail.

Published: October 2024

Emerging scholars from groups that have been historically excluded from and are currently othered in research careers are vital to developing innovative approaches to studying and remedying the world’s most challenging equity and social justice issues. In predominantly white institutions, scholars from othered groups may feel tokenized and pressured to conform to the status quo if employers do not commit to support them in thriving. The Emerging Equity Scholars (EES) program is a belonging intervention created for people from othered groups embarking upon professional research careers that was piloted from 2022 to 2023 at RTI International. This paper explains EES’s conception of holistic mentorship, which builds belonging by focusing on well-being, equity-centered research, community building, honoring diverse perspectives and lived expertise, and sharing power and resources. We describe how EES centers well-being by cultivating practices among program participants that support mindfulness, healing, and joy, and discuss EES’s research mentorship strategies that recognize emerging scholars’ knowledge, honor their experiences, and support their exploration of novel research approaches. We conclude with reflections from pilot participants about how EES cultivates a sense of belonging within the program, the broader work environment, and the field of research, and how the EES program will be adapted for future cohorts.
