The focus of this study is to apply design-thinking learning to measure students' creative thinking skills in microbiology courses at universities. The type of pre-experimental research with one group pretest - posttest design. Respondents were 27 student in four semester in the biology education study program, Hamzanwadi University FMIPA. Data collection techniques using Worksheets based project with indicators for design project: problem, solution, objective, and procedure. Data analysis techniques are descriptive quantitative by calculating the gain test of creative thinking skills, the percentage of creative thinking ability categories, and the percentage of fermentation product categories. The creative thinking gain score on the components: posing problems 1.09., proposing solutions 0.88., stating objectives 1.07., and compiling work methods 1.65 with a high category. The percentage of product categories made is general 29.2%, and modification 0.8%, no new fermentation products are produce. Through design thinking, educators can adjust their teaching methods to meet the various learning styles of students, making materials more accessible and relative. By combining real-world problems and practical activities into learning, students are encouraged to think creatively when solving challenges related to microbiology, resulting in creativity in making fermentation products. Design thinking based project learning can measure students' creative thinking skills in microbiology courses, even though at the ideate stage they repeatedly prepare project designs during the learning process and at the prototype stage there is a failure in making fermented products

A multimodal approach for treating post-acute infectious syndrome
Authors: Steenblock Charlotte , Toepfner Nicole , Kok Yannick P. , Mavberg Philip , Bruckmoser Horst , Breu Alfons , Korth Johannes , Heidecke Harald , Puhan Milo A. , Bornstein Stefan R.
Published: November 2024

Long-term complications, such as extensive fatigue and cognitive issues, are known from various infections, including SARS-CoV-2, influenza virus, or Borrelia burgdorferi. The pathology is mostly unknown and differs between patients. Unfortunately, there is currently no common and effective treatment. In this perspective, we imply that post-acute infectious syndromes are due to a variety of factors, including among others diminished tissue perfusion, tissue infiltration by viruses, inflammation, and oxidative stress, and that not one specific biomarker can be used to measure these syndromes. Thus, we suggest that a score based on a number of criteria/factors should be used to assess post-acute infectious syndromes. Consequently, probably not one single treatment can be used to treat this group of patients, and we suggest a multimodal treatment regimen comprising a combination of pharmacotherapy, such as metformin and naltrexone with anti-inflammatory effects, alongside physical therapies such as extracorporeal apheresis and transcutaneous neurotherapy. This combined approach aims to reduce biomarker levels and enhance cognitive functions. This implies that a reset of the systems can be achieved by a multimodal approach based on a score for post-acute infectious syndromes.
The importance of elderly genomes
Authors: Zatz Mayana
Published: November 2024

The difficulty in classifying a rare genetic variant as “likely pathogenic,” “likely benign,” or VUS (variant of unknown significance) represents a significant challenge in genetic counseling (GC) when trying to establish a diagnosis or as a result of incidental findings. This classification may impact the communication of prognosis in late-onset conditions, such as neuromuscular disorders, and the consultants’ reproductive decisions regarding future offspring. Here, we report two unrelated families, one Brazilian and one of East Asian ancestry, where a rare and previously unreported deletion in the dystrophin gene was identified. In these two families, the analysis of older male relatives (from 56 to 89 years old) who were fully asymptomatic provided relevant information to their families about the potential pathogenicity of this dystrophin variant. These cases support our previous suggestion highlighting the relevance of genome sequencing of older healthy individuals or family members, above the age of 50 and going into the 80's ad 90's, and the importance of sharing new relevant information for decision-making with families who previously underwent genetic counseling. In addition, these case reports contribute to the classification of VUS, enhancing our knowledge of the impact of specific mutations in functional studies.
Treatment with shRNA to knockdown the 5-HT2A receptor improves memory in vivo and decreases excitability in primary cortical neurons

Published: November 2024

Short hairpin RNAs (shRNA), targeting knockdown of specific genes, hold enormous promise for precision-based therapeutics to treat numerous neurodegenerative disorders. We designed an AAV9-shRNA targeting the downregulation of the 5-HT2A receptor, and recently demonstrated that intranasal delivery of this shRNA (referred to as COG-201), decreased anxiety and enhanced memory in mice and rats. In the current study, we provide additional in vivo data supporting a role of COG-201 in enhancing memory and functional in vitro data, whereby knockdown of the 5-HT2A receptor in primary mouse cortical neurons led to a significant decrease in mRNA expression (p = 0.0007), protein expression p-value = 0.0002, and in spontaneous electrical activity as measured by multielectrode array. In this regard, we observed a significant decrease in the number of spikes (p-value = 0.002), the mean firing rate (p-value = 0.002), the number of bursts (p-value = 0.015), and a decrease in the synchrony index (p-value = 0.005). The decrease in mRNA and protein expression, along with reduced spontaneous electrical activity in primary mouse cortical neurons, corroborate our in vivo findings and underscore the efficacy of COG-201 in decreasing HTR2A gene expression. This convergence of in vitro and in vivo evidence solidifies the potential of COG-201 as a targeted therapeutic strategy. The ability of COG-201 to decrease anxiety and enhance memory in animal models suggests that similar benefits might be achievable in humans. This could lead to the development of new treatments for conditions like generalized anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and cognitive impairments associated with aging or neurodegenerative diseases.
Exploring the therapeutic potential of psychedelics: Fear extinction mechanisms and amygdala modulation
Authors: Kelly Thomas J. , Liu Qing-song
Published: November 2024

Classical psychedelics are increasingly receiving attention as potential therapeutic agents for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Research has explored various classical psychedelics in the context of fear learning, recall, and extinction in rodents. We provide an overview of the reported effects of these substances on behavioral responses to learned fear. The amygdala complex, a key brain region involved in fear learning and extinction, plays a central role in these processes. We discuss how psychedelics interact with various cell types in the amygdala and propose which neural circuits may be essential for the observed fear-suppressing effects following psychedelic administration in rodents. The rodent amygdala has functional homology with the human amygdala. Thus, insights gained from preclinical studies can inform the design and implementation of clinical trials for psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD. Finally, we stress the importance of considering compound-specific pharmacology and the acute duration of action as key factors in guiding the future direction of this field.

Published: November 2024

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a severe psychiatric condition characterized by preoccupation with perceived flaws in one's appearance, which the individual views as defective or ugly. Psilocybin, a serotonin 2A receptor agonist with psychedelic properties, has emerged as a potential therapeutic agent for depression and other psychiatric disorders. This study aimed to identify subacute neural changes predicting symptomatic response to psilocybin treatment in adults with BDD. Eight adults with moderate-to-severe nondelusional BDD were administered a single oral 25 mg dose of psilocybin, accompanied by psychological support, and underwent resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging assessments 1 day before and 1 day after the dosing. Both a region of interest (ROI)-to-ROI analysis and multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) were used to identify changes in resting state functional connectivity (rsFC) at day 1 after dosing that predicted treatment response at week 1, measured by change in Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Scale Modified for BDD (BDD-YBOCS) score. All participants completed the dosing and follow-up assessments over 12 weeks. BDD-YBOCS scores decreased at week 1 and week 12 after dosing (p<0.001 for both). MVPA revealed a significant increase in rsFC within the Executive Control Network (ECN) at day 1. Increased rsFC within the ECN (dlPFC – Superior Parietal Lobule [FPL]), between the ECN and Default Mode Network (dlPFC – Precuneus), and between the ECN and the Salience Network (dlPFC – insula) were predictive of improvement in BDD symptoms at week 1. These findings are the first report of subacute brain effects of psilocybin in patients with BDD. Given the small sample size and uncontrolled design of the study, larger controlled studies are necessary to validate these observations.

Comparison of Patient-Specific Quality Assurance Devices in Radiation Therapy
Authors: Chang Kyung Hwan
Published: November 2024

This study aimed to compare the results of patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) between MapCHECK and Octavius for radiation therapy. A total of 50 patients with passing PSQA results were included. The point dose difference (DD) and gamma passing rate (GPR) were analyzed to evaluate the agreement between the measured and planned data, and the PSQA results from the two quality assurance (QA) devices were compared for all cases. The DDs and GPRs were within the tolerance ranges in all of the cases. The average GPR difference between the two detectors was statistically significant for the brain and the H&N values for the gamma criteria were 3%/3 mm, 2%/2 mm, and 1%/1 mm. These PSQA systems can be used interchangeably for routine PSQA during the delivery of radiation therapy.
Future of Sandplay: Responses From the Sandplay Community
Authors: Friedman Harriet S. , Mitchell Rie Rogers
Published: November 2024

Participants at the 1992 Sand Rafael conference, sponsored by Sandplay Therapists of America, were asked the following questions via a questionnaire: 1) What do you think the future of sandplay will be? and 2) What is your wish about how sandplay might evolve in the 21st century? Forty-six questionnaires (18%) were returned. Respondents predicted: 1) Sandplay would be incorporated into both long-and short-term therapy in institutional and non-clinical settings; 2) People would seek the experience of sandplay, not just for the resolution of psychological conflicts, but also as a source of meaningful reconnection to their own creative and spiritual expressions; and 3) Sandplay could have a healing effect of the larger world community. Also identified were six major issues that need consideration and conscientious examination by the sandplay community.

Both approaches speak to the importance of the therapist, client relationship, with empathy and mirroring. The relationship of the self-object is described in both therapies. A partial sandplay process is described from the two perspectives.
Images of Initiation
Authors: Henderson Joseph L.
Published: November 2024

These remarks were presented at the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco in 1993 at the "Sandplay: Opening the Door" conference. This paper provides the context of initiation in various cultures and traditions. Initiation is the surrender of the "ego-centered life to the Self-centeredness." The archetype of initiation is explained from the Native American, Roman, Jewish, Greek and Christian traditions. Ceremony and ritual provide the foundation of initiation. The rites are associated with the "mother, father and social order." Henderson adds to this with the self-initiation of the individual. The universal symbol of initiatory birth and death is the uroburos or tail-eating snake.
Development of the Masculine in Sandplay
Authors: Rise Claudio
Published: November 2024

Men's development as expressed in Sandplay, is reported to follow a different pattern than that of women. Dr. Rise¢ notes that men's process often begins with the figure of a wise old man, then continues with a phallic image and finally completes with a Self-experience. The earth, or sand, becomes a masculine ground where the phallus can be encountered. Rise¢ hypothesizes that the sand as prima materia has no gender, and takes on the missing aspect of the individual. Rise points out the limitations of Neumann's theory of development, and develops his own theory of how a man establishes a sense of psychic wholeness and internal groundedness.

Images of the Whale in Sandplay by Women With Issues of Molest
Authors: Markell Mary Jane
Published: November 2024

Archetypal images of the whale are reviewed cross-culturally and from earliest prehistoric times. A powerful shamanic image, the whale suggests mythic powers of Loss and Return, as well as healing. A further exploration of the Western mythology of Jonah and the Night Sea Journey in the belly of the whale presents an archetypal motif of descent, regression, and journey into the transpersonal realm for a purposeful encounter between the ego and the Self leading ultimately to transformation. These initiatic mysteries are then related to the frequently observed use of the whale in sandplay processes by women of molest. The whale motif becomes both a return to the Mother as well as a transcendent symbol capable of uniting paradoxical opposites and restoring a lost sense of wholeness. Three clinical cases are reviewed.
The Sandtray as a Garden of the Soul
Authors: Ammann Ruth
Published: November 2024

This edited version of a presentation at the C. G. Jung Institute in 1993 considers the sandtray as a soul-garden, a space for the expression for the individual's interior life. This in-between space in the sandtray, holds the bridge between the inner and outer realities of the individual. The interactive space between the client and therapist, the sandtray, is the interactive field. The author uses the analogy of the gardener, the therapist, awakening the creativity of the gardener of the sandplayer in the process. This creates resonance between them. Activating the resonance lies on the development, professionally and personally, of the therapist, with the hopes that the sandplayer becomes the tender of his/her own soul-garden.
Into the Wound: The Psychic Healing of Abused Children
Authors: Grubbs Geri A.
Published: November 2024

Referred to as "soul murder," sexual abuse affects deeply the developing psyche of the young child and is reflected in their artwork. Based upon dissertation research and clinical material, the sandplay process of two boys, ages 9 and 10, who were sexually abused by their fathers is presented. A major focus is on specific disturbances expressed in their creative play that include a loss of humanity and sense of isolation from the community, mobilization of defenses, ego fragmentation and dissociation, and repetitive self-destruction. These expressions were continuously acted out into their 12-tray process until a level of the Self was portrayed that suggests a releasing of a constellation of its archaic or dark side. Then, through the release of this suffering darkness, in both cases, spiritual tray and opening to the divine was created. How it resulted for each boy in the end, however, depended upon the emotional involvement of their mothers.
The Mound as Healing Image in Sandplay
Authors: Reece Sachiko Taki
Published: November 2024

This article explores the symbolic expressions of mounds in the sand. The author illustrates how creative moments develop after a mound or mounds appeared in a tray. The symbol of the mound is amplified in personal and archetypal dimension in three clinical cases. The first is that of infertility and chronic depression. The second and third cases are of young schizophrenic males who create sand pictures of "mud pies" and "Shogun's mound." All three clients improve after dramatic expression of the mound. The author also discusses cotransference in the hara (belly) level.
The Image of the Red Rose
Authors: Eastwood Pratibha
Published: November 2024

This article explores the red rose symbol and its use in a variety of Sandplay cases. The article is divided into two sections. First, a theoretical presentation of literature research on the archetypal significance of the rose is presented in its historical evolution. The second section is of the use of the red rose in four cases of both genders spanning ages 10 to 40 years old. The article's theoretical section emphasizes the relationship of this image to feminine fruition and blossoming. Interestingly, the changes in the attitude to the rose parallel the evolution of the attitude towards women in general. In reviewing the Sandplay examples, it becomes clear that not only doe the symbol represent a relationship one's femininity, and love, but is also often signifies a reconnecting or reattachment to a love object (i.e.. parent), soul, some sort of completion and arrival at a spiritual center.

Stented and Non-Stented Techniques in Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithoplasty for Upper Ureteral Stones
Authors: Ali S.M Yunus , Islam Md. Saiful , Islam Md. Saiful , Jahan Salma , Munsur Faizi Sayem Al , Rahman Ziaur , Miraj A K Al
Published: November 2024

Background and Objectives: Extra corporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a non-invasive technique for treating patients with renal calculi. It fragments the stone to smaller size which ease its passage through distal urinary tracts. The purpose of this matched-pair research was to examine patients with ureteric stones to identify the effect of a ureteric stent on the success rate of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL). Upper ureteric calculus can be treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy; however, complications have been reported. Method: Prospective research was conducted in the Department of Urology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Dhaka. Bangladesh from June 2022 July 2023 with the patients who presented for treatment of upper ureteric calculus. Ethical standards set forth by the committee were adhered to. After being informed of the study's purpose and methods, each participant signed a consent form. Information was entered into a premade proforma. Results: In our study, there were a total of 118 males and 32 females in group A, and 115 males and 35 females in group B. There were 99 patients in the group whose stones were 8–13 mm and 51 patients in the group whose stones were 14–19 mm in size. ESWL success was defined as patients who had undergone three ESWL sessions and were stone-free, while ESWL failure was defined as patients who were not stone-free after three months or who required any extra treatments. Although 13 patients in the stented group did not have stones, 22 had difficulty clearing them with ESWL. Seven patients in the stent-free group had successful ESWL treatment, while eleven others did not. Conclusion: Low morbidity and excellent effectiveness are characteristics of ESWL treatment. Ureteral stenting prior to ESWL offers no advantages over ESWL performed in situ. Patients who receive ureteral stents often experience severe pain and morbidity. The use of ureteral stents to treat upper ureteric calculus led to fewer hospital readmissions than when no stent was used, despite the fact that they are linked to higher irritative symptoms.
Empathy unlocked: Enhancing Emotional Intelligence Skills using Communication Workshop for Undergraduates Medical and Dental Students.
Authors: Syed Aun Muhammad  , Syed Razi Muhammad
Published: November 2024

Empathy is considered as a basic skill, if patient care is to be improved. Published literature showed that with academic progress from 1st year to final year, overall, there is a decline in empathy among undergraduates. Emerging evidence suggest that by stimulating emotional intelligence, we can improve empathy more effectively when compared to solely relying upon cognitive method of teaching.1 Review of the literature showed that in some way or other empathy may be taught“.2-5 Many ways to teach empathy has been proposed these includes; “improving interpersonal skills, audio or video-taping of encounters with patients, exposure to role model, role playing (aging game), shadowing a patient (patient navigator), hospitalisation experiences, studying literature and the arts, improving narrative skills, theatrical performances, and by discussing cases/clinical situation which has aroused feelings among students known as Balint method”. Among this interpersonal commination was addressed more in detail by Davis4 by developing Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) that identified multidimensional approach towards empathy and also ways how empathy may be improved. Different aspects of empathy and ways how it may be improved were best address by Krznaric et al.5 He identified 6 habits of highly empathic peoples and ways how these habits allow these empathic peoples to connect them with others very nicely.When reviews on the subjects were assessed, we found three reviews of worth mentioning.

The Impact of Entrepreneurial Leadership, Business Environment, Digital Literacy, and Religiosity on Msme Performance: The Mediating Role of Innovative Behavior in Pekanbaru
Authors: Munthe Richa Afriana , Pratikto Heri , . Sudarmiatin , Restuningdiah Nurika
Published: November 2024

This study examines the influence of entrepreneurial leadership, business environment, digital literacy, and religiosity on the performance of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Pekanbaru, with innovative behavior as a mediating variable. Using a sample of 300 MSME entrepreneurs and analyzed through Partial Least Squares (PLS) Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the research finds significant direct effects of entrepreneurial leadership (β = -0.204, p = 0.047), business environment (β = 0.225, p = 0.007), digital literacy (β = 0.139, p = 0.022), and religiosity (β = 0.271, p = 0.011) on business performance. The mediating role of innovative behavior is only significant in the relationship between religiosity and business performance (β = 0.162, p = 0.012). The findings emphasize the critical role of religiosity and innovative behavior in improving MSME performance. This research contributes to the growing literature on MSMEs by demonstrating how leadership, environment, digital skills, and religiosity shape performance outcomes.
From Superdiversity to Social Difference: A Critique of Vertovec’s Paradigm Shift
Authors: CHAN Rachel Suet Kay , Khalid Kartini Aboo Talib @ , A.B Shamsul
Published: November 2024

Due to Vertovec’s standing as a celebrated social theorist and his influence, we wish to discuss his condensation of sociology's most crucial concepts to make a convenient model of "the social organization of difference." Having performed a close reading of Vertovec's works, from the era in which he touted "super-diversity" up to his phrasing of "difference," we have concerns that his body of work leaves out the collective experiences of the "Global South," perhaps unintentionally. In charting this so-called difference, Vertovec limits his scope of discourse to the boundaries of his knowledge. Yet, he is optimistic about positing this model as a one-size-fits-all approach, encompassing the entire human experience. We use examples from the Global South, focusing on the postcolonial societies of Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore, to illustrate the gaps in Vertovec's approach. We do not wish to debunk Vertovec's ideas entirely; we merely want to signpost the existence of other "different" experiences. Thus, we apply the theories of Southeast Asian scholars to extend this scope of discourse—everyday-defined realities, the social organization of difference, and sociological theory.
Research on BIM sub-model data of construction engineering based on MVD
Authors: Davis Christopher , Park Jun-woo
Published: November 2024

BIM technology has been widely applied to various stages of construction projects in China. The data required at each stage and scenario of construction projects varies, necessitating the definition of target BIM data according to data needs. When BIM software generates IFC models, different MVD templates can be configured to output BIM sub-models. To study the characteristics of data configuration for different MVDs, this article takes construction projects as an example and designs an analysis experiment for BIM sub-model output based on MVD. It analyzes the differences and characteristics of IFC model data from both the overall project level and the professional component level according to key indicators, with the aim of providing references for construction project personnel to select matching MVDs, ensuring the effectiveness of BIM sub-models, and meeting the needs of business scenario applications.

EDUCAÇÃO INCLUSIVA POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS E O DIREITO À EDUCAÇÃO INCLUSIVA DAS PESSOAS COM TRANSTORNO DO ESPECTRO AUTISTA
Authors: Rodrigues Susanita de Souza , Oliveira Neuzenir Silva de Abreu , Santos Roseli Matos dos
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo estuda as políticas públicas e o direito à educação inclusiva das pessoas com Transtorno do Espectro Autista: o trabalho prestado pelo professor na sala de recursos multifuncional. Devido ao fato dos direitos das pessoas com Transtorno de Espectro Autista, ter passado por uma grande evolução, fez-se necessário discutir as leis que protegem as pessoas com autismo.  O objetivo foi compreender a importância da sala de recursos multifuncional para o desenvolvimento do ensino e aprendizagem das crianças da Educação Infantil. O professor tem o papel fundamental como mediador na construção de novos conhecimentos, sendo a escola local propício para essa interação e construção do conhecimento tendo o lúdico como principal instrumento. A metodologia utilizada foi a qualitativa, de caráter descritivo, além de pesquisa bibliográfica sobre o tema. Por fim, o método escolhido para a análise dos dados foi o indutivo. Os resultados confirmam que grande parte dos problemas está ligada às limitações das medidas pedagógicas adotadas para a inclusão da pessoa autista no ambiente escolar em salas regulares. Com isso, não se garante o direito à educação de qualidade para todos, que haja inclusão. Também se observa a ineficiência das políticas públicas e da aplicação da legislação brasileira.
