Habitação como Patrimônio Cultural
Authors: Junqueira Mônica
Published: December 2023

A residência, como tipologia e bem arquitetônico, sempre foi importante documento para a história da arquitetura, presente com mais ou menos ênfase nas narrativas de todos os períodos - da pré-história à contemporaneidade – incentivando os arquitetos a especular formas, trabalhar programas e testar materiais e técnicas. Com a ampliação dos referenciais para a preservação, conforme a carta de Veneza de 1964, a residência passou a ser entendida não apenas como documento arquitetônico, mas a maneira de habitá-la passou a ser uma fonte privilegiada para a compreensão da sociedade, das suas formas de viver e conviver, seja no campo da estética impulsionando novas formas seja como significado revelando anseios, desejos, estratégias de dominação e revolução. Para além das tradicionais áreas do conhecimento: psicologia, antropologia, sociologia, história, geografia, meio ambiente, arquitetura, urbanismo, artes e engenharia, mais recentemente as casas vêm subsidiando pesquisas sobre a domesticidade e gênero, enfim, um bem cultural que ilustra a aliável relação entre a natureza material e imaterial do patrimônio, que alimenta estudos não só de várias áreas, como incita a transdisciplinariedade. No entanto, como bem cultural é uma das tipologias que apresenta maior dificuldade de preservação, em todas as suas etapas: no reconhecimento, na documentação, na conservação e na apropriação, envolvendo quase sempre muita polêmica em quaisquer delas. A preservação das sete residências de Artigas tombadas pelo Conpresp, em 2018, como patrimônio cultural constitui o grande desafio a ser enfrentado que este trabalho se propõe a perscrutar.
Domesticidade, gênero e mediações na habitação social moderna brasileira, anos 1930-1950
Authors: Brito do Nascimento Flávia
Published: December 2023

O artigo problematiza os discursos sobre as formas de morar nos conjuntos residenciais públicos construídos pelos Institutos de Aposentadorias e Pensões e pelo Departamento de Habitação Popular nos anos 1930 a 1950. Olhando para as mediações profissionais na ocupação e gestão dos espaços domésticos feitos pelas profissionais mulheres - notadamente as assistentes sociais - exploram-se as tensões entre a constituição do ideal de operária na condição de, ao mesmo tempo, dona de casa e trabalhadora, em face do ideal doméstico e das lutas por direitos femininos no Brasil. Discute-se o lugar da casa operária na conformação da produção estatal de habitação e na crítica às habitações populares e às formas de morar do pobre.
Reflexões sobre preservação e modernização de conjuntos hospitalares de relevância histórica e arquitetônica
Authors: Amorim de Castro Elizabeth
Published: December 2023

O presente trabalho, Reflexões sobre preservação e modernização de conjuntos hospitalares de relevância histórica e arquitetônica: estudo dos hospitais Oswaldo Cruz, em Curitiba, e de Dermatologia Sanitária, em Piraquara/PR, analisa dois exemplares do Patrimônio Cultural da Saúde do Paraná, construídos na década de 1920. Os hospitais têm em comum, além dos mais de 90 anos de funcionamento, o partido arquitetônico pavilhonar e a estrutura edificada de grande porte. Ambos enfrentaram a redução do número de pacientes – e consequente desativação de parte da área edificada – e o compartilhamento do espaço físico com outras instituições e atividades relacionadas à saúde. A imposição decorreu da necessária diversificação dos serviços prestados e dasgenerosas dimensões de seus terrenos, que possibilitaram a alocação de novas funções em edificações pré-existentes. O estudo busca verificar se o processo de modernização destas instituições – que garante a sua sobrevivência – compromete a preservaçãodeste patrimônio, uma vez que pode demandar alterações físicas ou, ainda, de fluxos e setorizações, características que definem a essência do edifício hospitalar.
Perspectivas para a preservação da santa casa de misericórdia de Uberaba

Published: December 2023

O presente trabalho analisará as transformações sofridas pelo edifício da antiga SantaCasa de Misericórdia de Uberaba, a fim de propor diretrizes contemporâneas para asua utilização, buscando-se preservar a identidade do hospital, contribuindo para a suavalorização e a salvaguarda da memória do Patrimônio Cultural da Saúde uberabensee mineiro. Fundada pelo frei capuchinho Eugênio Maria de Gênova, em 1858, o projetoarquitetônico da instituição, de traços barrocos, foi idealizado pelo Frei, entretanto,este não é o edifício que se encontra atualmente edificado, devido a um incêndioacidental, ocorrido em 1921, que destruiu o prédio original. Todavia, devido a suaimportância, ele foi reconstruído e implantado no mesmo local que o prédio anterior,sendo oficialmente reinaugurado em 1935. Este novo edifício, de traços ecléticos, étombado pelo conselho patrimonial municipal, funcionando atualmente como umanexo a outro edifício, de maiores proporções, que abriga o Hospital de Clínicas daUniversidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro.
A obra de Vilanova Artigas
Authors: Guillermo Vázquez Ramos Fernando , De Oliveira Tourinho Andréa
Published: December 2023

Esta comunicação aborda as questões da preservação na atual conjuntura cultural e política pela qual passa a cidade de São Paulo. Assim, não é o tema genérico da preservação o que preocupa, mas sua específica situação atual, geográfica e socialmente determinada. Assim, um hic et nunc concreto. Também é concreto neste trabalho o objeto de estudo, pois trata das nove obras de João Batista Vilanova Artigas tombadas pelo Município de São Paulo no ano de 2018, na esteira da ampla proteção legal de obras de arquitetura moderna que sucedera à interpretação de uma legislação que parecia indicar que se as obras em tela, as da arquitetura moderna, não fossem tombadas até 22 de março de 2018, essas obras deixariam de ser Zonas Especiais de Preservação Cultural (ZEPEC), e por tanto perderiam sua proteção legal. Contudo, a concretude do objeto não significa que os dados que recolhemos dele não sejam úteis para entender a situação de outras tantas obras modernas, ou não, que têm sido tombadas ou que ainda estão em processo de tombamento. Assim, a expectativa deste trabalho é a de que a análise do que aconteceu com as obras de Artigas serva para uma maior compreensão do processo de proteção legal dos bens culturais em São Paulo.
Oficinas colaborativas

Published: December 2023

A abordagem interdisciplinar é uma estratégia fundamental ao ensino e pesquisa de questões ambientais ligadas à inclusão de pessoas com dificuldade de uso do espaço, como crianças, idosos, pessoas com deficiência, entre outros. Esse artigo relata uma experiência ocorrida na pós-graduação, que utilizou Oficinas Colaborativas para facilitar o reconhecimento das relações pessoa-ambiente, tomadas como base para a elaboração de propostas arquitetônicas. Discute-se como a perspectiva interdisciplinar influencia a inserção da problemática da acessibilidade no processo projetual, entendendo- se por acessível o local que, além de possibilitar o ir-e-vir, convida as pessoas a usufruírem dos espaços e de suas potencialidades. A atividade teve cunho experimental, atendeu aos preceitos da ética na pesquisa e envolveu profissionais de diversas formações. Explana-se a metodologia adotada, exemplificando-a com apresentação de duas Oficinas realizadas.
A transição da fachada
Authors: Nemer Diniz Luciana
Published: December 2023

As fachadas que serão abordadas no presente artigo se referem ao período do final do século XIX aos anos 30 do século passado, fase da transição da economia rural para a urbana, do agrário para o industrial e da monarquia para a república. Ao observar a iconografia da época, a mudança ocorre através de elementos da arquitetura que alteram a linguagem e a tipologia das construções sem, no entanto, alterar o ritmo visto que nos centros históricos a herança urbana dos lotes estreitos do período colonial o fazia permanecer. Como as fachadas fecham o espaço urbano da mesma forma que as paredes delimitam internamente os ambientes, essas o fecham em um ritmo constante gerando espaços onde é usual perceber efeitos compositivos como a repetição, a translação, a simetria e o espelhamento de elementos. Nas ruas e avenidas as alterações de fachadas se darão mais pelas esquadrias e adornos do que pela escala e proporção das mesmas.

Authors: Studart Fontenele Costa Sabrina
Published: December 2023

Este trabalho busca compreender os espaços de morar da cidade de São Paulo a partir de seus projetos e da preservação de sua memória. Debruça-se de maneira mais específica sobre os primeiros apartamentos duplex modernos buscando compreender a organização espacial dos conjuntos habitacionais, o perfil de seus moradores e as transformações que sofreram ao longo de décadas de uso, tendo como objetos de estudo específico os edifícios Esther e Eiffel. Para tanto, busca-se aproximar as questões de conservação dos espaços físicos com o cotidiano de seus usuários, a partir das memórias de seus moradores. Assim, a análise dos projetos, o levantamento do perfil de seus moradores e da maneira como ocorre a ocupação dos espaços modernos se colocam como interesse principal. Neste sentido, foram utilizadas fontes de pesquisa diversas, como fotografias, anúncios de jornais e revista, associadas ao trabalho de campo e aos recursos da história oral, de maneira a ampliar a discussão sobre as possibilidades de associar à memória dos moradores à preservação desses bens culturais, realizando uma análise mais ética do que estética do campo do restauro e da historiografia da preservação.
O fenômeno dos coletivos urbanos
Authors: Gonçalves Santos Priscila
Published: December 2023

Este trabalho insere-se em uma pesquisa de mestrado iniciada em 2016, acerca das disputas pelo espaço público, através das intervenções de micro e pequena escala promovidas por grupos sociais de classe média do Rio de Janeiro, no início da década de 2010. O objetivo neste trabalho é discutir e problematizar as iniciativas de autogestão do espaço público promovidas por coletivos urbanos, a fim de contribuir para o debate sobre as mesmas e refletir sobre novos modelos de participação cívica a partir de três estudos de caso analisados na pesquisa. Por meio da compreensão dessas ações coletivas como parte de um movimento complexo e dinâmico onde é possível identificar fases em sua trajetória, buscou-se, também, fugir de análises dicotômicas e alinhadas à lógica produtivista, de modo a obter uma maior compreensão deste, sua complexidade, potencialidades e limitações. A pesquisa e as análises evidenciam uma crise do urbanismo e do planejamento urbano, assim como uma nova onda de disputas pelo espaço público.

Pregabalin Addiction: A Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Sak Fatma Gül , Uslu Esra
Published: December 2023

Objective: Bibliometric analyses allow determining the scientific research profile, revealing the current situation on the subject, and identifying new research areas. Pregabalin addiction is an addiction that has serious consequences for the individual, family and society. For this reason, taking photographs of studies related to this field can be a guide for researchers. In this regard, the aim of the research is to bibliometrically examine publications addressing the issue of pregabalin addiction.
Method: The study was conducted in the Web of Science database. The keywords “pregabalin addiction” were used during the screening without any time limit.
Results: 150 publications were reached. Their publication dates were between 2003 and 2023, the average age of publication was 4.83, and the annual increase rate was 5%. The most active country was the United States of America, and the journal with the highest number of publications was “Frontiers in Psychiatry.” In addition, “gabapentin, abuse” was the most frequently used, “opioid, drug abuse” were the motor, “withdrawal” was niche, and “pain, substance” were emerging or disappearing themes. Besides, “neuropathic pain” was a basic theme, and “benzodiazepine” showed consistent development.
Conclusion: This is the first bibliometric study addressing pregabalin addiction and provided a comprehensive overview of pregabalin addiction over 20 years. From the quantitative perspective, the mean age of the study and the annual growth rate were low, and the number of studies was limited. Qualitative data showed that research topics mostly clustered on pregabalin addiction, addiction potential, abuse and taking with other drugs, and demonstrated a need for studies in addiction prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation.
İnanç Gelişimi ve Kimlik Siyaseti Üzerine Yorumlar: Belkıs Kıssası Örneği
Authors: Seyhan Beyazıt Yaşar
Published: December 2023

Fowler’s faith development theory is one of the most comprehensive faith development theories in recent times. Some data of this theory, which covers the life process of the individual, and some comments about identity politics were made through the story of Belkıs. The Qur'an not only wants to convey historical information about the events of the past period, but also wants to have been interpreted these historical events. One of these historical events is the story of Belkıs and Prophet Solomon. In this study, belief development and identity politics of Belkıs and her society will be evaluated in terms of belief development theory. Identity politics is a factor that affects the social development of the individual. Even the development of faith can be influenced by identity politics. Although identity politics seems to affect individual and social development in terms of religious beliefs, in some cases, belief development can also affect identity politics. Here is the situation of the parable of Belkıs, an example of this. When the parable of Belkıs is analysed, it will be seen that while the belief development of a society can develop depending on a manager, the belief development of that manager can determine the identity politics of her own society. If Belkıs did not want her society to enter a new religious belief in terms of identity politics and preferred to fight with the prophet Solomon, the society and bureaucracy that supported her would have also supported her. However, Belkıs preferred dialogue instead of war and adopted the new religious belief. Thus, the society that followed her accepted this new belief. From the point of view of Fowler's belief development, this attitude of Belkıs shows that she is in transition from the fourth to the fifth phase in terms of belief development. As a result, Belkıs did not have any difficulties in adopting a new belief since flexible belief was in the development stage, and her own society did not rebel against her policy. Key Words: Belief Development, Belief Development Theory, Identity Politics, Belkıs, Prophet Solomon.
Role of Working Capital Management in Enhancing Firm Profitability: An Empirical Study on the Manufacturing Companies of Pakistan
Authors: Tahir Sidra , Baloch Saira
Published: December 2023

Working capital management is a crucial instrument and one of the key aspects of any business management. It is considered as an accounting technique to maintain the organization's liquidity and financial balance and is regarded as a critical part of financial management in the company. This study emphasizes on investigating the role played by working capital management in enhancing the profitability of companies from the manufacturing sector listed in Pakistan stock exchange during the period 2018-2022. Return on equity and return on assets are used as the profitability measures; however, account receivable turnover, inventory turnover and cash conversion cycle are used as the measures of working capital management. To evaluate the results, the least square regression model is used. The results show that inventory turnover has a significant positive association with both ROA and ROE, which implies that inventory management and sales acceleration have a positive effect on the company's return on assets and return on equity. Similarly, the association of accounts receivable turnover with ROA and ROE is also significant and positive, demonstrating that good credit management and prompt receivables collection improve the return on equity and assets. The research also reveals a significant positive association of both ROA and ROE with the cash conversion cycle. Higher returns on assets and equity are connected with a higher cash conversion cycle. The results suggested that the managers should speed up the collection of receivables as quickly as possible and quickly sell the inventory so that the cash thus generated can be reinvested in productive assets, which can increase the company’s profitability. The study's findings provide an important guideline to financial managers in managing the appropriate level of working capital to enhance firms’ profitability.
Farmland Loss and Livelihood Effects: Diamond and Gold Mining Implications on Farmers’ Sustainability in Sierra Leone
Authors: Komba Braima Pascal , Fatima Almazea , Mushtaq Khalid , Hassan Sarfraz
Published: December 2023

Mining businesses are problematic in developing countries because they intrude on farming ecologies, rendering arable lands almost unavailable to farmers and making them unproductive. This paper expounds on the impact of agricultural land loss on mining activities in Kenema, as farming is the primary source of income for the locals; nevertheless, small-farm holdings are a definitive characteristic of this district. Using perceptions-based data gathered from 358 respondents, the software STATA 14 was employed to analyse the ordinal logit model. The results suggest that though mining operations gave the community quick income and short-term jobs, the negative impacts on farmers’ livelihood and outcomes surpass the benefits. The challenges farmers face from mining activities are Water pollution, displacement from their lands, and agricultural land degradation, and most get into illegal mining due to these constraints. This is mirrored in the average cultivation area of about 4 acres, with a relatively small harvest and an average monthly farm income of less than USD 40. Moreover, the results disclosed that the mines had increased land concession with less or no land reclamation or restoration. Therefore, it is recommended that all parties involved use a standardized method of communication that will prevent mining-related farmland encroachment. Moreover, it is good that authorities empower environmental law-enforcing bodies to monitor mining operations closely to ensure total compliance with the laws of the land management system.
Beyond Subsistence: Linking Citrus Smallholders to High-Value Markets for Sustainable Supply Chain Development in Pakistan
Authors: Naseer Muhammad Asad Ur Rehman , Razzaq Amar , Ashfaq Muhammad , Mehdi Mubashir , Karim Sajid , Naseer Muhammad Shoaib
Published: December 2023

Recent evidence suggests that Modern Supply Chains (MSC) in the agrifood industry have the potential to improve production efficiency and scale. However, the inclusion of smallholders for Sustainable Supply Chain Development (SSCD) is a growing concern for policymakers aiming to increase the profitability of farming communities. This study investigates the efficiency and inclusiveness of farmers in the citrus supply chain at the upstream level and factors responsible for SSCD using survey data from the Punjab province of Pakistan. The study employs endogenous treatment effect and principal component analysis apart from the descriptive analysis to explore study objectives. Results indicate that large farmers with abundant resources tend to participate in MSC, whereas smallholders are more likely to be inclined to Traditional Supply Chain (TSC) networks. The study also finds that participating in MSC has a positive impact on farmers' efficiency, and factors such as off-farm income, orchard size, education level, and access to extension services significantly affect profitability. The results of the principal component analysis revealed that for SSCD, six sets of factors, such as performance and quality, risk and climate, economics and market exploitation, knowledge and information, geographic and transportation, and innovation capability, are addressable. Therefore, these results suggest that policymakers should provide training programs, agriculture extension services, improved infrastructure, and educational facilities in rural areas to help smallholders alleviate poverty by creating sustainability in the agri-food industry.

Authors: Trinh Ngoc Mong Thi , Trinh Ngoc Boi
Published: December 2023

The study aims to examine university students’ perceptions of online assessment and the challenges they encountered when experiencing online tests or exams. The participants were 51 senior English majors at Tra Vinh University. The questionnaire was the only instrument in use. The findings reveal that the participants had positive attitudes towards online assessment because of easy accessibility and submission, the inclusion of a variety of tasks or questions, effectiveness in enhancing self-learning, immediate feedback, as well as the confidentiality of the test materials and results. In terms of the obstacles, the students encountered a great deal of difficulties including weak Internet signals, fatigue due to long hours of looking at the computer’s screen, discomfort when being asked to turn on the camera, distractions during online exams at home, lack of technology literacy and time pressure for each test section. Consequently, some recommendations are made for the administrators and undergraduates in Tra Vinh University in particular and neighboring universities in general to assist students in overcoming their challenges and achieving better results in their future online tests or exams.

Authors:   Fercasy Clinic, Fernández de Castro Isalguez Raquel
Published: December 2023

A 46-year-old woman approached the clinic with the defect of loose and sagging skin on her arms. She was offered therapy with an infrared-generating device combined with hyaluronic acid and micronized calcium hydroxyapatite. The aim of the case report was to evaluate the clinical response to the therapy. The visual effect, particularly appreciated by the woman, was the modelling of the arms, a significant reduction in skin flaccidity, and a significant reduction in stretch marks. In the presented case, the combination of hyaluronic acid cross-linked with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and infrared gave satisfactory results due to its high tolerability and effectiveness. In addition, the therapy induced a visible change in elasticity, hydration, and firming of sagging skin.
Secondary Benefits of Manipulation Checks: Three Illustrations From Behavioral Public Administration
Authors: Meier Kenneth , An Seung-ho , Davis Jourdan , Park Joohyung
Published: December 2023

Manipulation checks in behavioral public administration are commonly used and reported to determine if the experimental and control group have received different treatments. This paper uses three experiments to argue that manipulation checks for experimental treatments can have secondary benefits that can be used to improve the quality of behavioral work in the field. The three cases address the importance of using more clear terms in experimental manipulations (government v. public), using different on-line platforms to recruit experimental subjects (Mechanical Turk, Prolific, and Data.Spring), and whether larger payments more produce more attentive subjects.
Metaverse Risk Perceptions of Gifted Students
Authors: Yiğit Tekel Kübra , Yaman Yavuz
Published: December 2023

This research aims to examine the views of gifted secondary school students about the metaverse and their risk perceptions toward the digital environment. In this context, the study group consisting of 55 gifted students was determined through purposive sampling. A survey was used to collect participants' views on the metaverse, and the "Virtual World Risk Perception Scale" was used to measure the risks they felt in digital environments. A mixed method was used in this research. Content analysis was used in the qualitative data analysis, and the ANOVA test and t-test were used in the quantitative data analysis. The findings obtained in the analysis showed that while students defined the metaverse as a virtual universe, virtual reality, commerce, and socializing place. It was seen that the place where they met this concept was social media. While the students stated that the use of metaverse in education could have advantages, such as motivation, fun learning experience, and contribution to personal development, they mentioned disadvantages, such as health problems, addiction, safety, ethics, and disconnection from real life. Virtual world risk perceptions did not differ according to gender and class level. Students who did not have metaverse experience stated that the digital environment had a risk regarding corruption compared to those with experience.
Dental Pain Season in a Pediatric Dental Clinic Makkah, Saudi Arabia
Authors: AL-Saadi Mohanad A. , AL-Ghamdi Abdulaziz Hassan A. , AL-Ansari Hassan A.
Published: December 2023

Objective: Dental pain is the most common reason for dental visits among children in many regions in the world. The weather changes can change the health lifestyle by increasing drinking cold drinks which may cause dental hypersensitivity or misdiagnosed dental pulpitis due to the limited ability to describe the dental pain by the children. Most children cannot observe the decay in the early sage and they need indeed their parent to guide them in a healthy lifestyle.
Subject and Methods: Data were collected retrospectively of 600 children from the dental records of new pediatric patients attending a clinic. The collected data included all months in 2022. The frequency of each invasive procedure in each month was calculated as well the gender and other demographic variables.
Aim: To determine the highest frequency of dental pain attenders among children under 14 years old during the four seasons of 2022 and using these results to enhance our health services to design future plans.
Result: The highest frequency of dental pain cases was in summer (84%) and the lowest was in Spring (16%).
Conclusion: This study could be the first study aiming to investigate the dental pain patients flow regarding the four seasons. It has been done in Makkah in which the weather temperature can reach 50 degrees in the summer. Further studies with the same aim in a different weather condition are needed to compare our results and enhance our health services in the future.
Conclusion: Dental pain season is in the summer in our paediatric dental clinic. The high frequency of dental pain cases during the summer could be a result of the health lifestyle related to the hot weather.

Keywords: Dental pain season, paediatric dental clinic, Makkah

Published: December 2023

Relevance: Gastric cancer (GC) morbidity is growing in Kazakhstan every year. In 2022, 2 915 new GC cases were detected (15 per 100,000
population), making GC the third most common cancer. The early detection rate of GC does not exceed 10-20%, and advanced forms of GC are
over 40%. Mortality increases in the first year after the diagnosis (up to 40%).
The best way of solving early detection of gastric cancer is carrying out diagnostics at the stage of pre-tumor stomach diseases. Timely diagnosis and treatment of surgical and borderline diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract (metaplastic and dysplastic changes in the mucous

membrane of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum and adenocarcinomas and early cancer arising against this background) are a complex
medical and social problem.
Endoscopic methods for diagnosing esophagus, stomach, and duodenum diseases are the most highly informative nowadays. However, precancerous changes (atrophy, metaplasia, and dysplasia) in conventional endoscopic examination may not have specific features. It is necessary
to improve the results of endoscopic diagnosis. The chromoscopy method may be one of the methods used to identify precancerous pathology
and GC methods.
The study aimed to increase the efficiency of gastric cancer early detection by adapting the morphological classification of the Japanese
Gastric Cancer Society (JGCA) for the Kazakh population.
Methods: We conducted endoscopic studies of 500 residents of the Republic of Kazakhstan using chromoscopy and morphological studies of
the biopsy obtained during endoscopic examination. These patients had digestive system problems but previously did not have a GC diagnosis.
We formed the risk groups according to JGCA (editions 13th and 14th).
Results: We identified 3(0.6%) morbidity of severe dysplasia according to the results of 500 patients’ biopsy samples morphological study.
This morphological structure is classified as a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. We recommended a surgical treatment for identified patients.
Conclusion: The identified cases of obligate pre-cancer with an extremely high probability of degeneration into a malignant neoplasm
prove the importance of using JGCA for the early diagnosis of gastric cancer and allow us to recommend the use of chromoscopy in stomach
endoscopic examination.
SIMULTANEOUS SURGICAL MANAGEMENT
OF CONGENITAL BICUSPID AORTIC VALVE
AND GASTRIC CANCER:
A CASE REPORT
Authors: ABDIKARIMOV A. , BASHABAYEV A.
Published: December 2023

Relevance: Gastric cancer is the second leading cause of malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract and the fifth leading cause in
overall cancer statistics. Diseases of the cardiovascular system are the leading cause of death worldwide. A high prevalence of both
diseases increases the chances of their co-morbidity.
The article aimed present a case where a patient undergoes two simultaneous procedures for two diseases and discuss possible
surgical tactics, advantages, and disadvantages.
Results: In this case report, we present simultaneous surgical procedures performed on a 49-year-old male with a history of congenital bicuspid aortic valve and gastric cancer, found incidentally on upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. Since the patient was a
good fit, he qualified for simultaneous surgery on the heart and abdomen.
The surgery results were good, and the patient was discharged 8 days after surgery.
Conclusion: Performing simultaneous surgery for both the abdomen and heart can be a safe procedure that allows people with
malignant diseases to receive adjuvant therapy faster by minimizing the interval between surgeries.
ENDOSCOPIC TREATMENT FOR EARLY COLORECTAL CANCER
Authors: Batyrbekov K. , Galiakbarova A.
Published: December 2023

Relevance: In recent years, significant breakthroughs have occurred in the endoscopic treatment of cancerous and precancerous lesions
of the gastrointestinal tract. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is a simple and effective method of treating most benign gastrointestinal
tract lesions. However, with the introduction of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and full-thickness endoscopic resection (EFTR), the
ЛЕЧЕНИЕ
38 Онкология и Радиология Казахстана, №4 (70) 2023
volume of lesions subject to endoscopic treatment has significantly expanded even in the colon. Currently, these methods are regularly used
not only for the treatment of benign tumors but also for complex resection of early stages of colorectal cancer. For the first time in Kazakhstan,
the presented article analyzed the cases of endoscopic removal of epithelial formations of the large intestine performed at an oncological clinic
from 2020 to 2023.
The aim was to evaluate the use of endoscopic treatment of early colorectal cancer.
Methods: The article presents a retrospective analysis of 68 cases of endoscopic removal of epithelial formations of the colon performed from
2020 to 2023 at the Center of Expert Endoscopy and Interventional Radiology of the National Scientific Cancer Center (Astana, Kazakhstan).
Results: In 2020-2023, 68 endoscopic extractions of colon tumors were performed, including 25 outpatient and 43 inpatient manipulations.
Out of 43 inpatient cases, endoscopic dissection in the submucosal layer was performed in 9 cases, and endoscopic mucosal resection of tumors
of the large intestine was performed in 34 cases. Morphologically, we found hyperplastic polyps in 11 cases, lipomas in 2 cases, tubulovillous
adenomas with mild dysplasia – 43 cases, tubulovillous adenomas with severe dysplasia – 11 cases, carcinoma in situ – 3 cases, and adenocarcinoma with invasion – 3 cases.
Conclusion: When detecting benign neoplasms with dysplasia and early colorectal cancer, minimally invasive technologies (EMR, ESD,
EFTR) should be the first preferred treatment method and only if they cannot be performed and there is a high risk of invasion into the underlying layers, and therefore, if endoscopic treatment is not radical, clinicians should choose surgical radical treatment. Patients should
be informed about the availability of the latest methods of local treatment in the Republic through the financing of the Compulsory Medical
Insurance Fund (CMIF)

T-cell ALLs. Many patients diagnosed with hematologic cancer will require hospitalization in the intensive care unit (ICU) at some point in their treatment.
The aim was to study the available literature on clinical deterioration in patients with АLL admitted to the ICU, the clinical significance
and prognostic value of causes of clinical deterioration, and adverse outcomes in patients with АLL staying in the ICU.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study approach was used. We reviewed published sources from 2016 to 2023 to collect data on major
reasons for ALL patients’ hospitalization to ICU.
Results: First, the patient’s age at the time of initial diagnosis of ALL is crucial. Cure rates for B-cell ALL are higher between 1 and 9 years of
age than in other age groups. Second, the initial white blood cell count during diagnosis is a prognostic indicator. Third, the specific subtype of ALL
also affects prognosis. The risk factors emphasize the importance of comorbidities and infectious diseases, as well as monitoring and managing
pulmonary and cardiovascular function in patients to avoid hospitalization in the ICU. The main causes of hospitalization in the ICU are complications related to chemotherapy, infection, and unplanned hospitalizations. Compared to normal-risk patients, high-risk patients had a higher rate of
OIT hospitalization in the ICU. It is important to control chemotherapy and infections to reduce the number of admissions to the ICU in this group.
Conclusion: Chemotherapy, concomitant and infectious diseases, hypoxia, and hemodynamic instability are reasons for hospitalization of
these patients to ICU. The condition of various organs and systems shall be monitored.
MODIFIABLE RISK FACTORS FOR COLORECTAL CANCER DEVELOPMENT:
A LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Soltanova Z. , Tokanova S.
Published: December 2023

Relevance: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed types of cancer worldwide. CRC incidence has increased in Kazakhstan, as in many other countries in the past decade. Therefore, it is important to identify risk factors contributing to this pathological process
to develop primary prevention programs at regional and national levels.
The study aimed to investigate modifiable risk factors for the development of colorectal cancer.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted in electronic databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, eLibrary, CyberLeninka, and
Google Scholar. The study included reports of randomized and cohort studies conducted on large populations, meta-analyses, systematic reviews,
and original full-text articles in English and Russian, available in open access and containing statistically validated conclusions. Exclusion criteria
encompassed brief reports, newspaper articles, and personal communications. The search depth covered ten years (2012-2022).
Results: Published data reflect the significant influence on the development of colorectal cancer (CRC) of modifiable risk factors such as
dietary habits, smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity, and physical inactivity.
Conclusion: CRC is a polyetiological disease that arises under the influence of both internal and external factors. However, only 25-30% of
CRC cases are associated with non-modifiable risk factors, such as genetic factors, personal history of polyps, and inflammatory bowel diseases.
70-75% of CRC cases occur sporadically and are linked to modifiable risk factors, including smoking, alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet, sedentary lifestyle, lack of physical activity, and obesity

A COMPARISON OF PHENOMENLOGICAL AND MICROMECHANICAL FRICTION FORMULATIONS WITH TEMPERATURE EFFECTS
Authors: Berger Thomas , Park Sangro , Lee Wonhyuck , Kaliske Michael
Published: December 2023

Tires are the only contact points between a vehicle and the road, and they are mainly responsible for the driving safety. Currently, two different classes of friction formulations are predominant: phenomenological and micromechanical. Phenomenological approaches formulate a mathematical expression to describe the experimental results. By knowledge and experience, the formulations interpolate and extrapolate the behavior captured by experiments; however, the formulations are highly dependent on the quality and the influence factors of the experiments. In micromechanical approaches, the friction kinematics is described based on the deformation of the rubber in the contact zone, while sliding over a generalized surface. The basic idea is to obtain the friction coefficient solely by the surface properties and the material behavior. Because both approaches have advantages and disadvantages, it is hard to distinguish which is more suitable to use in a certain application. In this contribution, different friction formulations are discussed and compared. The mechanical behavior of rubber is strongly influenced by temperature and so are its friction characteristics; therefore, the friction formulations are expanded with respect to temperature. The discussed temperature dependent friction formulations are compared with each other for tire cornering simulations. The decrease of the cornering stiffness at large slip angles can be explained by friction-induced temperature increase in the contact zone.
IMPROVING THE PROPERTIES OF NR/NBR BLEND BY INTRODUCING INTERFACIAL CROSSLINKS USING BISMALEIMIDE DURING THE INITIAL PHASE OF ACCELERATED SULFUR CURING
Authors: Pöschl Marek , Sathi Shibulal G. , Stoček Radek
Published: December 2023

To develop a technologically compatible blend of NR and NBR is always a challenge due to their polarity mismatch. As a result, the physico-mechanical properties of their blends are generally poor. To address this issue, an attempt was made to increase the uniform distribution of crosslinks across the blend phases at the time of molding at 170°C. A cure composition consisting of sulfur (S) and a delayed action accelerator (N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide [CBS]) has been designed to co-crosslink both phases of the blend simultaneously. The tensile properties, particularly the tensile strength (TS) of the blend cured by this method, were superior (∼371% greater) than the TS of the blend cured using a combination of S/CBS and an ultrafast accelerator (tetramethylthiuram disulfide [TMTD]). A bifunctional maleimide (Maleide F) was also used in conjunction with S/CBS in the curing recipe to further improve the distribution of sulfidic crosslinks by reducing the interfacial tension between the NR and NBR phases via Alder-ene reaction.

Published: December 2023

The automatic classification of non-functional requirements helps to reduce time and effort for the stakeholders. Several techniques have been used for this task, including the latest techniques in Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), such as pre-trained models, with promising results. This research aims to analyze the performance metrics to classify requirements into sub-classes of non-functional type. Six distinct algorithms, including both traditional machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), were trained using a Spanish-translated PROMISE NFR dataset to assess and compare their performance outcomes. The findings reveal that Support Vector Machine (SVM) with Bag of Word technique, and fastText overperformed the other algorithms. However, fastText stands out between the two due the ease of implementation and the absence of data preprocessing.
