A tuberculose pulmonar, causada pelo Mycobacterium tuberculosis, é uma doença infecciosa que afeta principalmente os pulmões, mas pode se disseminar para outros órgãos. Em crianças e adolescentes, tem características únicas devido a fatores como imaturidade imunológica, desnutrição e condições socioeconômicas precárias aumentam o risco de infecção e progressão da doença nesse grupo. Assim, este estudo visa investigar a epidemiologia da tuberculose pulmonar no Nordeste em crianças e adolescentes. A amostra foi composta por todos os pacientes com idade de 0 a 19 anos, internados na região entre janeiro de 2008 e dezembro de 2023. Foram registradas 2.964 internações, resultando em 78 óbitos (2,63%). Houve no masculino um maior número de internações (1.635 casos), com uma taxa de mortalidade de 2,75%, comparado ao sexo feminino (1.329 casos, taxa de mortalidade de 2,48%). Com maioria em crianças pardas, totalizando 1.337 casos, a mortalidade de 2,09%. A faixa etária mais afetada foi de 15 a 19 anos (1.708), com uma mortalidade de 2,99%. Apesar de os menores de 1 ano terem o menor número de internados (133), destacaram-se pela pior taxa de mortalidade (7,52%). Quanto ao caráter de atendimento, apesar de haver uma quantidade de internados 3,15 vezes superior nos atendimentos de urgência (n= 2.237) em comparação com os eletivos (n= 708), mortalidade de ambos foi muito semelhante. Ao longo dos anos, verificou-se discreta diminuição das internações e aumento na mortalidade.

Authors: Vikasari Suci Nar , Sukandar Elin Yulinah , Suciati Tri , Adnyana I Ketut
Published: May 2024

Context: Ageratum conyzoides L. and eggshell membrane have the potential to be used as medicine. The independent use of A. conyzoides extract or eggshell membrane hydrolysates independently as a natural medicine has been widely known, but the mixture of the two as an anti-inflammatory has not been studied. Aims: To evaluate both the in vivo and in vitro anti-inflammatory effects of A. conyzoides extract and eggshell membrane hydrolysates, independently and in combination. In silico testing was conducted to identify chemicals that have a key role in inflammation signaling pathways. Methods: The chronic anti-inflammatory effects of A. conyzoides extract and eggshell membrane hydrolysates were evaluated on cotton pellet-induced rats using diclofenac-Na as a control. In vitro anti-inflammatory effects were studied via protein denaturation, membrane stability, and antiprotease activity. Furthermore, molecular docking was performed on the p38-MAPK signaling pathway using compounds found in A. conyzoides extract and eggshell membrane hydrolysates. Results: A. conyzoides extract and eggshell membrane hydrolysates given separately or in combination can inhibit the formation of exudates and granulomas. Molecular docking simulations showed that the metabolites in the extract and hydrolysate interact with p38-MAPK. Nobiletin in the extract is the potential metabolite that interacts with the p38-MAPK receptor with a free energy of binding and inhibition constant of -8.92 kcal/mol and 260.80 nM. Amino acids in the hydrolysates showed weaker interactions compared to the compound in the extract. Conclusions: A. conyzoides extract and eggshell membrane hydrolysates work additively to inhibit the severity of chronic inflammation.

Perspectives on Music Imagery and complex chronic pain
Authors: Sanfi Ilan , Christensen Erik
Published: May 2024

The aim of the article is to examine the concept of chronic pain as a complex phenomenon and to highlight the potential role of music therapy – in particular, music imagery – in the treatment of chronic pain. Theories of pain, along with research on pain pathways and pain control in the nervous system, support the evidence from clinical practice that music interventions can alleviate the sensation of pain whilst also offering a pleasant aesthetic experience. Music therapy provides opportunities for processing psychological and existential issues and enables patients to better cope with chronic pain. Related research in neuroscience and music medicine provides supplementary evidence that music can have a considerable impact on the physiological and psychological aspects of pain. This article summarises selected theoretical, clinical, and research–based knowledge relevant for music therapy clinicians and other health professionals aiming to alleviate chronic pain.

Authors: Hidayat Cecep , Hermawan Asep , Berliyanti Dita Oki
Published: May 2024

This study evaluates the impact of Organizational Culture and Transformational Leadership on Organizational Commitment and Organizational Citizenship Behavior through Employee Engagement in non-formal educational institutions (PKBM) in West Java. Data from 291 respondents were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Square (PLS) method. Results show that Organizational Culture and Transformational Leadership significantly influence Employee Engagement. Organizational Culture and Employee Engagement affect Organizational Citizenship Behavior, while Employee Engagement influences Organizational Commitment. Employee Engagement serves as a mediator between Organizational Culture and Transformational Leadership and Organizational Commitment and Organizational Citizenship Behavior. However, Organizational Culture and Transformational Leadership do not directly impact Organizational Commitment, and Transformational Leadership does not significantly influence Organizational Citizenship Behavior. Practical implications suggest enhancing institutional performance for the well-being of educators. The study contributes to the Integrative Organizational Behaviors Model, rooted in Social Exchange Theory, providing insights for future research on Organizational Behavior.
Hidden Voices: Students Views on amount of Loans received and Survival Mechanism in Tanzania Higher Learning Institutions
Authors: Sululu Jacob , George Victor , Kahimba Joseph
Published: May 2024

The increasing use of student’s loans schemes to finance higher education is currently a global concern. It fuels access to higher education mostly to children from low-income families which ultimately strengthen equitable human capital growth. However, due to the increasing demand for higher education coupled with lower budget, many governments especially those in developing Countries fail to accomplish this task adequately. This study therefore, thought to assess students views on the amount of loan allocated and status of their survival in Tanzania Higher education Institutions. The aim is to see whether the received loan amount sufficiently cover their degree program cost, and if not, what are survival mechanisms are they make to supplement the discrepancy.  The cross-sectional survey of 480 loans beneficiaries was adopted to collect data from four sampled universities. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings revealed that, due to the increasing trends of loans applicants’ and lower government budget, many students are allocated lesser amount of loan which eventually hinder their survival. As such others decide to engage on informal income generating activities which ultimately affect their academic progress. This study recommends on increased amount of loans allocation to students, as long as what they receive will be paid it back if adequate repayment strategies a put in place.

Authors: Nambinga Salomo Mekondjo , Haufiku Isidor
Published: May 2024

The main purpose of this study was to investigate leadership development needs of School Principals in selected schools in Omuthiya circuit in the Oshikoto Region, Namibia. The study used a mixed research approach, a convergent parallel research design. Data were collected using a questionnaire and structured interview guide. Twenty participants (20) were purposefully selected from 30 schools in Omuthiya Circuit in the Oshikoto Region. The study revealed that most school Principals in the study area do not have leadership skills and knowledge needed to set direction for schools; redesign their institutions, develop their staff and conduct instructional supervision. This lack of appropriate leadership skills and knowledge is impacting negatively on their execution of work. Another key finding was that the Regional Directorate has failed dismally to induct newly promoted Principals despite conducting fast tracked hand-over take-over mini-inductions. The presence of the CPD has not helped the Principals in acquiring the highly needed skills for the job, since very few workshops have been held due to financial limitations and lack of time. The study recommended that school Principals Omuthiya Circuit in the Oshikoto Region need to undergo leadership development training across all the four key practices, namely setting direction, instructional supervision, developing people and redesigning the organization, for them to be able to provide and demonstrate quality leadership skills which help improve their schools’ results.

Authors: Damayanti Prisila , Prihanto Hendi
Published: May 2024

The research aims to determine and analyze the response of taxpayers (taxpayers) in reporting their taxes in the post-Covid 19 pandemic era after the government provided various relief policies through tax incentives to entrepreneurs and MSMEs in terms of the aspects of taxpayers' literacy knowledge, set tax rates, profitability of taxpayers' businesses, and business opportunities faced now and in the future. The research was conducted on several MSME cafe entrepreneurs in the Jagakarsa - Ciganjur sub-district and surrounding areas as a population, using a questionnaire with a rolling snowball distribution technique based on information obtained during the survey to obtain a total of 110 samples. Data analysis uses Smart PLS statistical software with tests such as validity and reliability, inner and outer models, statistical t-hypothesis testing, multiple regression, and coefficient of determination—the results of the research state that not all of the hypotheses can be accepted. Taxpayers' knowledge of tax literacy and profitability obtained by taxpayers from MSME actors has a significant positive effect on the contribution of taxpayers' tax reporting so that the hypothesis is accepted, while tax rates through incentives set by the government and business opportunities from MSMEs are not has a significant effect on the contribution to tax reporting by MSME taxpayers so that the hypothesis is rejected.

The Role of NRF2 Transcription Factor in Metabolic Syndrome
Authors: Bruneska Gondim Martins Danyelly , Walleria Aragão Santos Thaysa , Helena Menezes Estevam Alves Maria , Ferreira Frade de Araújo Rosângela
Published: May 2024

Metabolic syndrome includes several diseases that are associated with metabolic abnormalities such as obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiac diseases, and insulin resistance. In order to maintain cellular homeostasis, it is necessary to regulate the signaling pathways involved in controlling oxidative stress. Nuclear factor erythroid-2 factor 2 (NRF2) is a transcription factor largely expressed in several tissues and cells and participates in the oxidative stress regulation signaling pathways. NRF2 also mediates transcriptional regulation of a variety of target genes to signalize and regulate acute and chronic stress pathways in metabolic syndrome. Deregulation of NRF2 could contribute to a worst prognosis/profile of individuals with metabolic syndrome. Therefore, NRF2 and its activators might play a role in its treatment, highlighted as targets for modulation by pharmacological agents.
Psychogenic Non-epileptic Seizures: An Update on Diagnosis and Management
Authors: Misciagna Sandro
Published: May 2024

Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) are functional neurological disorders that mimic epileptic seizures. Over the past decades, relevant advancements have been made in the diagnosis, neurobiological understanding and management of PNES. This chapter is a review about epidemiology, comorbidities, biomarkers, neurobiology and treatment of PNES. The author discusses in particular the diagnosis of PNES that is based on clinical history, semiology, presence of witness and instrumental features. Neuroimaging studies suggest that PNES may occur in a context of anatomical alterations that regulate sensorimotor functions, emotional processing, cognitive control and multimodal integration of brain functions. The gold standard of PNES instrumental assessment remains video electroencephalography, showing the absence of epileptiform activity during the event and the absence of slow activity after the event. Several studies and clinical trials have demonstrated the importance of psychological treatments and in particular cognitive behavioral therapy. Further future studies are necessary to investigate about similarities and differences between psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, real epileptic seizures and other psychosomatic disorders. We also need studies for more appropriate psychotherapies and treatment guidelines.

Antibiotics are drugs or substances produced by microbes, especially fungi, which can inhibit/eradicate other microbes (microorganisms/bacteria), especially microbes that are detrimental to humans, namely microbes that cause infections in humans. Antibiotics are not effective in treating viral, fungal, or other non-bacterial infections, and each antibiotic varies greatly in its effectiveness against different types of bacteria. The use of antibiotics is certainly expected to have a positive impact, but irrational use of antibiotics will have a negative impact. One of the negative impacts of irrational use of antibiotics is bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. In community service, the target group was approximately 20 people, almost all of whom did not know that antibiotics should not be purchased freely without a prescription from a doctor and that irrational use could increase the impact of resistance. This can be caused by a lack of public knowledge regarding the use of antibiotics and a lack of education by health workers.
Desigualdades estructurales en el capitalismo: transversalizando el género
Authors: Gutiérrez Baños Ilse Patricia , Mora Pizano Alma Rosa
Published: May 2024

Throughout the history of mankind, cultures have been built androcentric, under a tendency where man is the symbol of the paradigm of the human and of truth. Historically, these perspectives based on the male point of view have dominated the interpretation of reality. It is necessary to clarify that biological differences already predetermine the inequalities presented by men and women because sex represents the first language code with which a person will be treated throughout his or her life and, therefore, the sexual division of labor. This article aims to explore some reflections on the structural inequalities generated by the capitalist system from the sex-gender system. The materials are the analysis procedures to include the gender approach and the content and thematic analysis exposed under a descriptive study methodology of qualitative cut.

Different habits are a form of the uniqueness of each individual. Everyone has different habits from one another. In this case, the difference is not that something is wrong, but one of the key factors underlying the person's growth. Habits can trigger and shape the interests that someone owns. Study habits formed in each student will usually be seen later in the final results of learning, either on exams, just daily tests, or something big like a final graduation exam. This study uses observation and interview methods. This study explains whether students' study habits can affect the learning outcomes obtained by students.

Language is a tool used to transmit knowledge. Language has a function as a medium or tool for thinking scientifically, but then a big problem arises and requires the help of philosophy. Language often cannot escape the confines of its users, language damage is usually caused by a lack of logical reasoning, which is called a lack of rationality. This type of research is qualitative research using library research methodology, which is a form of research that involves collecting data from scientific papers and collecting data that is bibliographical. Language is a verbal communication tool used in the process of scientific thinking, conveying the way of thought to others, both based on aqli. Using good language in thinking does not necessarily get the right conclusion, especially with bad language. A false premise will result in a wrong conclusion as well. This is inseparable from the role of language in learning and dissemination of knowledge as well as a medium for thinking and communicating with the same language. In the era of technology and globalization that we have encountered, the importance of understanding and developing a philosophy of science and language is very much a top priority in one's life. By understanding the relationship between the two, we can face challenges and improve our ability to communicate and interact with others.

Housing is a fundamental right and every person is entitled to this basic need. However, the biggest challenge facing Kenya is lack of affordable housing especially for low- and middle-income households in urban areas. We profile housing cooperative models and examine their suitability in addressing shortage of affordable housing in Nairobi City County. Specifically, we: (i) profile housing cooperative models adopted by housing cooperatives in Nairobi City County and (ii) examine the suitability of the models in provision of affordable housing. A qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews was adopted to generate data on how the housing co-operative models formed, membership characteristics, management practices, financing models and ownership practices. The paper is anchored on transaction cost theory. The target population consists of all active housing cooperatives registered by the State Department of Cooperatives in Nairobi City County as of December 2017. The sample size selection for this exploratory study was based on data saturation criteria. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 10 key informants, based on their technical expertise and knowledge. Thematic content analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data. Findings revealed that the limited housing cooperative model is most used among the members of housing cooperatives in Nairobi City County. However, the model failed to take into consideration collective efforts of members in terms of collective housing construction which bring down the total cost of construction. The paper recommends restructuring of housing finance system to take into considerationissues of low- and middle-income households for adoption of a multiple mortgage housing cooperative model.

This study examined the quality of internet-based service delivery and satisfaction of distance learners of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Abuja through a descriptive survey method, using 875 distance learners which were selected through multi-stage sampling technique from three selected study centres of the University in Abuja, Nigeria. Two research questions were answered and four hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significant. Data were collected with the use of a modified 4-point Likert scale validated instrument titled “Quality and Satisfaction of Internet Service Delivery Questionnaire (QSISDQ; r=0.91). Data were analysed using descriptive statistics of t-test and ANOVA. Results revealed good quality and very high extent satisfaction of internet-based services offered based on study centre (F(2,874) = 0.08; p=0.92) and gender (t(1,873) = 2.96; p=0.77). Findings further revealed no significant difference in the extent of satisfaction derived in internet-based services based on study centre (F(2,874) = 0.14; p=0.87) and gender (t(1,873) = -1.24; p = 0.21). Based on the findings, recommendations point to the effect that University management should take the internet-based services offered to an enviable realm.

Scientific Scepticism and Epistemic Justification: Revisiting the Higher Values of Contextualistic Pluralism
Authors: Etuk Anthony , Ujoh Emmanuel
Published: May 2024

Scientific scepticism, fundamentally, questions the veracity and epistemic value of claims not supported by scientific evidence. Motivated by the assumption that only the empirical investigation of reality leads to the truth, the scientific sceptics maintain that only scientific method is best suited for this purpose. Claims found to be wanting in scientific evidence are considered untrue, and of little or no epistemic consequence. Using the analytical and critical methods, this paper interrogates this epistemic criterion of justification of scientific scepticism. It shows the inherent epistemic deficits in this criterion of the scientific sceptics, and how absolutizing its demands in such a manner as to undermine the veracity and epistemic significance of claims outside the mainstream discipline of science is not only to entrap themselves in many epistemic burdens, but to sink under the weight of criteriological egocentrism, detrimental to cognitive progress. As a credible alternative, this paper explores the epistemic fecundity of contextualistic pluralism – the pluralism of contextually underwritten cognitive positions – in case of truth and knowledge justification. It concludes with emphasis on the relevance of this approach to epistemic justification in our age of interculturality, by shifting the focus of philosophical thinking from identity to diversity. Keywords: Scientific, Scepticism, Knowledge, Contextualistic Pluralism, Truth, Empirical.
Social Media and the Incidence of Cyberbullying in Nigeria: Implications for Creating a Safer Online Environment
Authors: Akeusola Bolanle
Published: May 2024

Social media has become an integral part of communication and information sharing worldwide, including Nigeria. However, despite its benefits, social media platforms also pose risks, with cyberbullying emerging as a prevalent and concerning issue. This article reviews incidence, forms, consequences, and approaches to promoting safer online environments in Nigeria. Using a qualitative research design, a comprehensive literature review and thematic analysis of secondary sources were conducted. The findings revealed that cyberbullying is prevalent in Nigeria and exists in various forms such as outing, trickery, trolling, and verbal and visual/sexual cyberbullying. Meanwhile, the phenomenon has negative emotional and psychological consequences. The review highlights the lack of awareness and understanding of cyberbullying among stakeholders, leading to the underestimation and underreporting of incidents. This emphasizes the need for specific policies and comprehensive preventive measures. While the current legislation addresses certain aspects of cyberbullying, a dedicated policy on cyberbullying management is lacking. To promote safer online environments, this study suggests involving various stakeholders and developing tailored prevention and intervention strategies. This includes educating students and staff on cyberbullying, implementing reporting mechanisms, and providing support systems. Further research is needed to explore the role of social media platforms in cyberbullying experiences, involvement of technology companies and stakeholders, and effective strategies for prevention and intervention. Keywords: Cyberbullying, cybercrime, social media, trickery, trolling.
