Rolling contact fatigue of AISI 440C TiN coated by plasma based ion implantion and deposition
Authors: Gonzalez Maria Paula , Colombo Diego , Fernandino Diego Omar
Published: January 2025

In this work, the microstructural evolution, surface characteristics and wear behavior of high hardness AISI 440C samples coated with a TiN film synthesized at room temperature were investigated. The coating was deposited using a combined process of plasma-based ion implantation and deposition (PBII&D). Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) tests were conducted and compared with those of the uncoated steel. Tests were carried out in a flat washer type testing rig under lubricated pure rolling conditions. The results indicate that the microstructure of the substrates remained unchanged after the deposition process. The application of the coatings produced an increase in the arithmetic average height of the roughness profiles and a change in their skewness. The adhesion of the TiN coating on AISI 440 C proved to be satisfactory. RCF test generated typical fatigue spalls in the uncoated samples. In coated samples partial delamination of the coating occurred along the rolling track. Taking partial delamination of the coating as a failure criterion, it was found that the RCF life of the coated samples was higher than that of the uncoated ones.
Numerical study of residual stress fields after double-sided symmetric laser shock peening of blade edge
Authors: Bartolomei Mariia L. , Kudryashev Igor S. , Sabirov Rustam R. , Korsunsky Alexander M.
Published: January 2025

This paper deals with numerical modelling of the residual stress field formed after laser shock peening of a thin blade edge from TC4. It is shown that the application of double-sided symmetric laser shock peening is an effective way of treatment, as it allows to reduce deformation and geometrical changes caused by laser shock peening in comparison with treatment from one side. The results of numerical modelling obtained by varying the machining parameters (power density, spot shape, number of passes, % overlapping) were used to form a database for further training of the neural network. It is shown which machining parameters lead to compressive residual stresses over the entire thickness of the edge, and which ones induce tensile stresses on the surface.
Hubungan Agama Dan Budaya Dalam Pandangan Moderasi Beragama
Authors: Marwiyatun Naimah
Published: January 2025

The relationship between religion and culture has become a complex topic in a variety of social and religious contexts. In the perspective of religious moderation, this relationship is seen as a balanced, respectful, and complementary interaction, where religious values do not have to conflict with cultural practices, and vice versa. Religious moderation prioritizes a middle ground attitude that emphasizes the principles of tolerance, peace, and respect for diversity. In this context, religion is not understood as a divisive force, but as a source of value that enriches the cultural life of the community. On the other hand, culture is also not interpreted as something that threatens the integrity of religious teachings, but as an expression of the social and spiritual identity of the people. This article aims to explore the understanding of how religious moderation can be a bridge in harmonizing religion with culture, as well as how religious moderation can strengthen social cohesion, enrich cultural heritage, and build harmony in a pluralistic society.
The Dhofar Revolution: An Archival Analysis of the Conflict (1965-1976)
Authors: Albedwawi Saif
Published: January 2025

Britain's military presence in the Middle East underwent a significant transformation by the 1960s, characterized by contractions to establish smaller bases in Aden and the Gulf; however, the British military marked a significant change in contrast to its former stronghold at the Suez base. These bases protected vital oil interests and fulfilled Britain's obligations to local rulers. However, political developments within the Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula increasingly challenged Britain's strategic position. These evolving dynamics necessitated a re-evaluation of both diplomatic and military strategies leading to the most far-reaching anti-British revolution, the Dhofar Revolution in Oman.   The scholarly discourses concerning the end of the revolution have highlighted the reintegration of the Dhofar society that was actively engaged in the revolutionary struggles of broader Omni society. Nevertheless, the mechanisms employed for their success/failures have not been covered in the existing literature. Consequently, this paper aims to fill this existing gap in the literature by contextually analysing the present literature and archival documents on the Dhofar war. For this purpose, the authors extensively utilized archival documents available within the Arabian Gulf Digital Archive (AGDA) in Abu Dhabi. Moreover, the Dhofari rebel literature derived from The Gulf Bulletin fervently promoted the communist revolutionary ideology. On the other hand, the Omani government's viewpoint was extensively disseminated through its military propaganda branch, aiming to counter the rebels' influence. This paper posits that, despite the strong support from the Communist bloc, the Dhofari Revolution ultimately failed because the rebels made hastened attempts to replace the region's traditional cultural values and Islamic beliefs with their novel ideological vision. This alienated the Dhofari population, causing the rebels to lose the support of the people they aspired to lead.
Reconciling Religion and Reason: An Epistemic Perspective of European Muslims
Authors: Idriz Mesut , Veliu Galip
Published: January 2025

Religion is a hallmark of human life, manifesting today in various guises. Hence, reason and belief are two essential human qualities, which add depth and meaning to life. Every human mind, at some point in life, questions whether belief is reasonable or whether reason itself should be believed. Thinkers have spent most of their lives grappling with these timeless questions. It is not sure whether they found satisfactory answers, as it remains uncertain; because they lived and died without leaving behind any trace of convincing and epistemic responses for their contemporaries or to future generations. This article aims to offer the premise that secular philosophers maximized their arguments to prove that their preference for reasoning over beliefs comprehensively supplies the epistemological solution to the problem. However, they have ultimately failed to draw a parallel connection with an epistemic reality. Their arguments could not surpass the reasonable act of belief from an epistemic perspective. This study aims to prove that all their efforts failed from an epistemic point of view. Thus, striving to get rid of believing, they ended up believing in reason itself, which is the most unreasonable act from an epistemic standpoint. This research holds an intrinsic view that neither reasoning has any value without believing nor believing makes sense without reasoning. Reason compels us to believe, just as believing compels us to reason; as a result, they are not contradictory but complementary to each other. These are two intrinsic human capabilities, which are necessary for the growth of our knowledge, and serve as the constituents for our progress in understanding and interpreting the universe. Reason cannot exist without belief, and likewise belief cannot exist without reason. Humans have always struggled to rationalize their instability, beliefs, and reasons to achieve full confidence in their claims and to constitute prosperity towards better and more useful epistemic solutions to the existing challenges of reality.
Ibn Sina’s Biopsychosocial Balance: Insights for Mental Health Preservation and Islamic Psychology
Authors: Arroisi Jarman , Arif Syamsuddin , Rahmadi Muhammad Alif
Published: January 2025

Historically, the discourse surrounding mental health within the framework of intellectual traditions has held profound significance, reflecting this issue's enduring relevance and complexity. The contribution of the leading scholar in Islamic Psychology, Ali Bin Abdullah Ibnu Sina, deserves high recognition for his conceptual significance and practical impact concerning mental health and the Islamic perspective. Therefore, this research aims to reveal Ibn Sina's thoughts and ideas regarding the theory of balance between mental health and its impact on overall physical, cognitive, social, and emotional well-being. For this purpose, the qualitative research methodology was deployed using descriptive analysis methods. The study found several pivotal results; firstly, in his corpus, Avicenna's theory has had a long-term impact on theoretical contributions to biopsychosocial health and well-being. Secondly, his ideas prioritize balance or I'tidal, which includes life balance, dietary recommendations, lifestyle adjustments, the balance of body humour, and psychological well-being, and elements that are significant for preserving mental stability. Lastly, his theory of I'tidal aims to serve as a foundational paradigm for the integrated analysis of psychological and biological medicine, focusing significantly on the psychological state continuance of the individual.
An Analytical Study of the Da'wah Movement of Prophet Muhammad in Relation to Social Movement Theory
Authors: Aswar Hasbi , Afifi Subhan
Published: January 2025

This article explores the da’wah activities of Prophet Muhammad through the perspective of social movements to provide new insights. This article explains that the Prophet Muhammad was not only a religious activist who worked to spread Islam but also a statesman who successfully led his followers to establish a new state in Yathrib (Medina). This research focuses on the Prophet's endeavours in political activism through the movement aimed at achieving social and political change. This study will analyse the da’wah movement using social movement perspectives, focusing on structural-functional theory, resource mobilization theory, political opportunity structure, and framing theory. This article argues that the success of the Prophet's da’wah and political initiatives is rooted in the structural conditions of Mecca and the mobilization strategies. The strength of religious narratives and the capacity to exploit narrow political opportunities while generating the new ones have played a vital role to support da’wah activities. This research uses a historical qualitative methodology, leveraging primary and secondary sources to analyse the socio-political landscape of Mecca, the Prophet's resource mobilization techniques, and the framing of his religious messages. This article is an initial investigation into the integration of social movement theories within the context of Islamic social movements, highlighting the importance of overcoming Western secular dominance of social movement studies.
Exploring Interfaith Marriage in Qur’ān: A Hermeneutic and Anthropological Analysis of Permissibility
Authors: Safrodin  , Umriana Anila , Fihris  , Nasikhin
Published: January 2025

This study seeks to explain the concept of the permissibility of interfaith marriage, as found in the interpretation of Surah Al-Maidah: 05, within the cultural context of Arabic society. It explores  cultural systems, which influenced the socio-anthropological understanding of this permissibility. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing muqaran (comparative) and hermeneutic interpretation methods alongside an anthropological perspective. This study demonstrated several key findings on interfaith marriage in Al-Maidah: 05. The verse conceptually permits Muslim men to marry women from Ahl al-Kitab (People of the Book) under certain conditions, according to various scholarly interpretations. The text also indicates that Muslim men may marry women from Ahl al-Kitab who are independent and able to preserve their honor (muhsanat), provided they pay the dowry. Some scholars assert this permissibility applies without restriction, while others limit it to Ahl al-Kitab before Islam or to Ahl al-Kitab Dzimmiyyah, excluding Jews and Christians in some interpretations. The permissibility of such marriages from a socio-anthropological perspective reflects a continuation of earlier interfaith marriage practices among Arabs, influenced by the patriarchal social system, which was later redefined according to the Islamic perspective . Thus, the concept of interfaith marriage in Al-Maidah: 05 is deeply rooted in both pre-Islamic cultural practices and evolving Islamic jurisprudence, indicating that interfaith marriage conception has Quranic relevance.
A espiritualidade e a boa morte
Authors:   ULS Oeste, Romão António Foz
Published: January 2025

O presente artigo breve assenta numa revisão bibliográfica, com pesquisa de artigos científicos na base de dados PubMed (MEDLINE), para além da consulta de outras publicações alusivas ao tema. O principal objetivo é a valorização da espiritualidade nas suas várias dimensões, tendo em vista o seu real contributo para descomplicar o processo da morte. A espiritualidade, como vertente do cuidar e do bem-estar do doente e pela força interior e crescimento pessoal que poderá suscitar, constitui um suporte indispensável na proximidade da morte. A aceitação da morte pela Pessoa no final da sua vida, constitui um fator essencial para a tranquilidade da mesma e, concomitantemente, um objetivo realizado pelos cuidadores e profissionais implicados. Nesta fase, o discurso e a expressão de sentimentos, assim como a procura da transcendência tendo em vista a dignidade no processo de morrer e a concretização da “boa morte”, representam necessidades espirituais marcantes. Há que encontrar sentido “relendo a própria história”. A morte na solidão do hospital impera e dificilmente assegura as condições propícias para a dignidade exigível em fim de vida ao ser entendida como uma derrota na luta contra a doença, denunciadora de um modo de morrer mecanizado e desumanizado. As necessidades espirituais em fim de vida exigem do profissional inserido numa equipa multidisciplinar a indispensável competência e noção dos limites da sua atuação. São obrigações essenciais o saber ouvir, ser empático e responder à angústia instalada. Nos cuidados pré-terminais, o profissional deverá centrar-se no saber ser e não no saber fazer. É nesta fase de antecipação da morte que é possível captar o valor único e irrepetível da Pessoa e da sua dignidade.

Published: January 2025

Objetivo: Verificar a frequência de classificações inapropriadas de sinais e sintomas como problema crónico (CIC), em medicina geral e familiar (MGF), no concelho de Coimbra.

Métodos: Estudo observacional transversal dos dados de amostra aleatória das Unidades de Saúde Familiar (USF) do concelho de Coimbra, uma por cada um dos seis centros de saúde. Os dados foram recebidos por USF, desconhecendo-se a identificação do médico ou pessoas estudadas em função do aprovado pela Comissão de Ética da Administração Regional de Saúde do Centro. Obtiveram-se dados de onze classificações pré-selecionadas (A01, A03, A04, L03, L13, L15, K01, K06, P01, P03 e P20) das listas de problemas crónicos dos inscritos nas USF em 31/dezembro/2022.

Resultados: Num universo de 59.152 inscritos verificaram-se as CIC selecionadas em 8.548 (14,5%). As quatro mais frequentes foram L03 – Sintoma/Queixa da Região Lombar (22,6%), P01 – Sensação de Ansiedade/Nervosismo/Tensão (22,1%) e L15 – Sintoma/Queixa do Joelho (14,3%) e A04 – Debilidade/Cansaço Geral (10,0%). Verificaram-se diferenças significativas por sexos com maior frequência no feminino (64%, p<0,001) e por faixa etária, a dos 35 aos 64 anos com maior frequência (43,9%, p<0,001). O modelo de USF não revelou diferença significativa (p=0,564).

Discussão: CIC em MGF é algo a evitar, sendo obrigação dos médicos e do sistema informático a tal obviar.

Conclusão: Verificou-se frequência de 14,5% de CIC em USF com elevada responsabilidade na saúde e na formação pré e pós-graduada em MGF. A melhoria do sistema informático, a formação contínua de médicos de MGF em ICPC-2, a revisão periódica dos problemas crónicos e a sua validação por pares podem ser táticas para a melhoria, bem como a adesão à ICPC-3.
From a mosquito bite to neonatal lupus: primary care initial diagnosis and multidisciplinary evaluation (case report)
Authors:   USF Ermesinde - ACeS Grande Porto III, Oliveira Sara , Costa Inês Gonçalves da ,   USF Ermesinde - ACeS Grande Porto III
Published: January 2025

Introduction: This clinical case demonstrates that a common lesion like an insect bite can often be much more than it appears. It also illustrates the approach taken to pathology.

Case description: This case report describes a newborn who, on the 10th day of life, developed skin lesions with characteristics resembling insect bites. Three weeks later, at 45 days of life, the lesions progressed in size and dimension, leading to an urgent referral to Dermatology. The infant was admitted for a differential diagnosis, undergoing several studies, including skin biopsies and autoimmune studies. The mother’s autoimmune study revealed positive anti-SSA and anti-SSB antibodies, confirming the diagnosis of neonatal lupus. He performed topical treatment with hydrocortisone, which helped stabilize and reduce some lesions. However, after discharge, due to clinical aggravation, the infant returned to the hospital, with impetiginization of the lesions. Antibiotic therapy (topical with fusidic acid and oral with amoxicillin + clavulanic acid) was thus initiated, topical corticosteroid (hydrocortisone) reintroduced, and oral corticosteroid (deflazacort) initiated, and breast-feeding was temporarily suspended due to the presence of antibodies in breast milk (anti-SSA and anti-SSB antibodies). After five months of topical and oral corticoid, maintenance, and cessation of breastfeeding, there was significant improvement in the lesions, and the infant exhibited appropriate psychomotor development. The mother began follow-up in a Rheumatology appointment, where she was diagnosed with Sjögren’s syndrome and initiated appropriate treatment. She also received counseling regarding future pregnancies, particularly about the higher likelihood of the baby experiencing manifestations of neonatal lupus, potentially affecting other systems besides the skin.

Comment: This case highlights the deceptive simplicity of the initial diagnosis and the role of a multidisciplinary team in addressing complex conditions. The family physician plays a crucial role in supporting and guiding families throughout their healthcare journey. In this case, the cessation of breastfeeding and the potential impact on future pregnancies posed additional challenges for the mother, and the family doctor played a key role in addressing her concerns and providing emotional support.
O desafio diagnóstico do carcinoma espinocelular subungueal: um relato de caso
Authors:   ULS Alto Minho, Figueiras Ana , Cambão Maria Luís ,   ULS Alto Minho, Marques Pedro ,   ULS Alto Minho
Published: January 2025

Introdução: O carcinoma espinocelular subungueal é considerado a neoplasia subungueal mais frequente, podendo o seu diagnóstico ser desafiante dada a sua apresentação clínica inespecífica e semelhante a outras entidades, como a onicomicose, verruga vulgar ou distrofia ungueal.

Descrição do caso: Trata-se de uma mulher, 51 anos, que apresentava uma lesão da unha, de crescimento lento, há 12 anos, descrita inicialmente como verruga e, posteriormente, como onicomicose. Esta lesão resultou em onicólise, revelando leito ungueal com coloração eritemato-vinhosa e friável, que se manteve após vários ciclos de tratamento antifúngico, levando à referenciação para dermatologia. A biópsia da lesão mostrou um carcinoma espinocelular in situ, conduzindo a excisão radical, com amputação a nível da segunda falange, sem invasão óssea.

Comentário: Uma vez que o prognóstico desta entidade está dependente de um diagnóstico atempado, a biópsia deve ser sempre considerada perante lesões ungueais crónicas, refratárias a tratamento convencional.
Projeto COPD Right Care: um movimento social transformador da gestão da DPOC
Authors:   ULS de Braga, Fonte António Pedro Gonçalves Rodrigues da
Published: January 2025

A doença pulmonar obstrutiva crónica (DPOC) é uma das principais causas de morbilidade e mortalidade globalmente. Os desafios incluem diagnóstico tardio, erros de diagnóstico e tratamento inadequado, com muitos casos subdiagnosticados devido à falta de consciencialização e dificuldade de acesso a provas de função respiratória. Em Portugal, a prevalência pode chegar a 14,2% dos adultos acima de 40 anos, destacando-se a necessidade de diagnóstico precoce e gestão adequada. O projeto COPD Right Care foi desenvolvido como uma resposta às necessidades na gestão da DPOC. Inspirado no movimento Asthma Right Care, este projeto é liderado pelo International Primary Care Respiratory Group (IPCRG) e visa melhorar os cuidados prestados aos pacientes com DPOC. O projeto está atualmente em implementação em cinco países piloto: Portugal, Espanha, Brasil, Reino Unido e Estados Unidos da América. Em Portugal, o projeto conta com o apoio institucional do GRESP/APMGF e tem sido apresentado em congressos deste grupo. Entre as ferramentas desenvolvidas destaca-se a Roda da DPOC, disponível tanto em formato físico como virtual. Esta ferramenta é uma abordagem visual e prática que auxilia profissionais de saúde e pacientes na compreensão e gestão integrada da DPOC. A Roda da DPOC está dividida em várias secções que cobrem componentes cruciais da gestão da DPOC, como diagnóstico, tratamento, monitorização e autocuidado. No diagnóstico enfatiza a importância da espirometria e a distinção da DPOC de outras condições com sintomas semelhantes. No tratamento promove uma abordagem personalizada baseada na gravidade dos sintomas e no risco de agudizações, incluindo terapêuticas inaladas e intervenções não farmacológicas, como reabilitação respiratória, alimentação e atividade física.
New vision for primary health care and sustainable development
Authors:   Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Vinker Shlomo
Published: January 2025

Understanding family medicine's numerous challenges in the post-COVID era is essential, especially the growing shortage of family doctors and healthcare staff across Europe and the globe. This aligns with the theme of the 2025 biennial conference of the World Organization of Family Doctors in Lisbon. The pandemic underscored the importance of robust family medicine and high-quality primary care access within the community to alleviate hospital overload and respond swiftly to surging patient numbers. Family medicine also played a crucial role in the mass vaccination campaigns. However, this success came with challenges, such as increased workload, burnout, and, in some cases, severe illness or even death from COVID-19 due to inadequate personal protection in the early days before vaccines were available. Additionally, family medicine transformed with the rapid adoption of telemedicine in both synchronous (phone or video) and asynchronous (various forms of messaging) formats.

Published: January 2025

Spectral flow cytometry provides greater insights into cellular heterogeneity by simultaneous measurement of up to 50 markers. However, analyzing such high-dimensional (HD) data is complex through traditional manual gating strategy. To address this gap, we developed CAFE as an open-source Python-based web application with a graphical user interface. Built with Streamlit, CAFE incorporates libraries such as Scanpy for single-cell analysis, Pandas and PyArrow for efficient data handling, and Matplotlib, Seaborn, Plotly for creating customizable figures. Its robust toolset includes density-based down-sampling, dimensionality reduction, batch correction, Leiden-based clustering, cluster merging and annotation. Using CAFE, we demonstrated analysis of a human PBMC dataset of 350,000 cells identifying 16 distinct cell clusters. CAFE can generate publication-ready figures in real time via interactive slider controls and dropdown menus, eliminating the need for coding expertise and making HD data analysis accessible to all. CAFE is licensed under MIT and is freely available at https://github.com/mhbsiam/cafe.
Distortions of Metallic Objects in EM34 Apparent Conductivity Readings
Authors: Chibane Pedro Henrique da Silva , Silva Caroline Urenha , Mendonça Carlos Alberto , Ofterdinger Ulrich
Published: January 2025

Metallic structures are a common noise source in Slingram electromagnetic surveys because they interact with the primary magnetic field generated by the transmitter coil and create a secondary magnetic field that distorts the apparent conductivity readings from a layered or homogeneous subsurface. The main challenge is understanding how their influence varies depending on the loop configuration and the distance at which the surface structure no longer distorts the apparent conductivity readings. We propose a methodology that integrates experimental techniques and numerical modeling to elucidate the distortions induced by a fence-like structure placed at varying distances from the coils of a low-induction conductivity meter. Additionally, we aim to evaluate the model responses using numerical simulations with electromagnetic systems operating at higher frequency ranges. To quantify the distortions in apparent conductivity, we conducted field measurements by keeping the electromagnetic coils in a fixed position while changing the placement of the conductive structure. The readings obtained before installing the conductive structure were used as the background reference response to accurately determine the distortions. The same experimental procedure was tested in terrains with different resistivities to evaluate the changes caused by the same structure in different backgrounds. Our results show that this approach allowed us to infer that the deviations in apparent conductivity caused by the presence of the fence are more noticeable where the background resistivity is higher. However, these deviations were observed only for short distances of about 1/5 to 1/2 of the coil separation for the evaluated targets. The integration between the experimental survey and the numerical modeling suggests that distortion increases when the instrument is operated at induction numbers higher than ∼0.2. For all tested conductivity models and frequency ranges, minor distortions were observed with the vertical coplanar coil configuration compared to the horizontal coplanar configuration for the transmitter-receiver pair. Negligible distortions were observed for fences with unconnected wires, suggesting minor interference from loose metallic objects on the ground surface that do not form closed loops, favoring EM induction.

La distribución inequitativa del trabajo doméstico y las labores de cuido impiden el ingreso de las mujeres al mercado laboral, su permanencia y progreso en él, e inciden en que las mujeres tengan menos disponibilidad para participar en la vida cívica y política de sus países. De forma extrema, y producto de la dependencia económica de las mujeres que no pueden laborar por estas tareas, algunas se ven obligadas a permanecer en situaciones de violencia doméstica y abuso. Todas éstas coartan de manera significativa la autonomía económica, política y física de las mujeres El presente artículo analiza los efectos de dicha problemática, así como el abordaje de éste en las políticas de igualdad y equidad de género en la región.

Published: January 2025

Este artículo destaca la importancia de gestionar el desarrollo de cadenas de valor para fomentar el crecimiento y la competitividad. A menudo, las publicaciones existentes omiten características clave de las cadenas de valor asociadas con la prestación de servicios, como el turismo, y no consideran el contexto complejo en el que operan. Para abordar este desafío, se proponen buenas prácticas basadas en la experiencia con la primera Cadena Regional de Valor de Turismo Latinoamericana. Se resalta la ventaja de hibridar métodos para fomentar la colaboración productiva y se introduce el concepto de "servucción" como un proceso que integra elementos físicos y humanos para lograr resultados con un impacto y sostenibilidad aún mayores.

Published: January 2025

This research aims to propose a software solution with data analytics through intelligent dashboards applied to micro-markets. The research approach is mixed: descriptive and field-based. Interviews were applied to owners of micro-markets in the Tulcán city to analyze their current business management systems and the use or not of emerging technologies such as Big Data, Business Intelligence, Cloud Computing, IoT, among others. Surveys were also applied to customers who use these services to determine user satisfaction. The results showed that 50% of micro-market owners lack systems to support them in making strategic and business decisions. Similarly, it was identified that the service provided to users is not focused on new strategies and business lines. In order to analyze and transform data into information and, in turn, into knowledge, a data analytics solution is proposed, considering concepts of a unified repository or Data Warehouse and the Ralph Kimball methodology for the storage, analysis, and processing of data obtained from various sources of information. In addition, the ETL process was designed and control panels were developed, using the open-source tool Tableau, for the creation of dashboards. Finally, business intelligence strategies were applied in order to deliver accurate, real-time, easy-to-interpret information that contributes to meeting the business requirements within the micro-market sector.
