Brain abscesses in children with cyanotic congenital heart disease
Authors: Liu Ke , Zhu Ming , Dong Suzhen
Published: September 2023

Brain abscess is a serious infection of the brain parenchyma that can occur in children with cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD). In children with CCHD, brain abscesses are often caused by the direct extension of an adjacent infection, or by distant hematogenous dissemination. In the present review, we discuss the epidemiology, etiology, clinical features, radiologic features, current treatments, and outcomes of brain abscesses associated with CCHD in children. Common clinical presentations of brain abscesses with CCHD include a fever, vomiting, headache, hemiparesis, and focal seizures. The most common causative microorganisms of brain abscesses are Streptococcus and Staphylococcus species. The radiologic features of brain abscesses in children with CCHD are a ring enhancing, well-defined lesion with a hypodense center; this is usually accompanied by surrounding cerebral edema. Appropriate surgery and antibiotic treatment are the gold standard for treating brain abscesses in children with CCHD. In addition, the early recognition of such brain abscesses is very important for their timely clinical treatment. Brain imaging techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography, are crucial for the early recognition of brain abscesses in CCHD.

Authors: Chia Sin Eng , Tan Mei Ling , Cheok Elise , Ong Peh Woon
Published: September 2023

Introduction:

Workplace safety and health are interrelated — a worker who is not healthy may cause safety lapses at the workplace; conversely, safety lapses could affect the health of the workers. This study was part of a larger Total Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) programme run by the Workplace Safety and Health Council, Singapore. The objectives were to obtain a baseline health profile of workers across four major industries and identify important health risks for targeted workplace interventions.

Methods:

Five service providers (SPs) were appointed to run the Total WSH programme. As part of the programme, SPs conducted an anonymous basic health survey among workers of participating companies.

Results:

The responses of 6,373 respondents from the cleaning, construction, manufacturing, and transport and storage industries were studied. The overall response rate was 62%. Key health issues identified were high rates of obesity (22%) and smoking (24%) and low prevalence of regular exercise and healthy dietary habits. Chronic disease rates were similar to population self-reported rates (hypertension 15%, high lipid 12% and diabetes mellitus 6%). The workers reported high work stress (13%).

Conclusion:

Health issues are prevalent in the workforce and may affect work and employee safety. It is increasingly important for employees’ health to be considered in risk assessments and prioritised in workplace safety and health management systems and strategies. Health promotion interventions should be targeted, and multilevel and multicomponent initiatives should be integrated with pre-existing occupational safety programmes.

Authors: Lee Hunju , Choi Hyowon , Koh Sang Baek , Kim Hyeon Chang
Published: September 2023

OBJECTIVES: We examined trends in physical activity and sedentary behavior in Korean adolescents, and their association with socioeconomic position (SEP).METHODS: We used data from the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey, a nationwide study involving students aged 12-19 conducted between 2009 and 2021. SEP was assessed based on economic status, parental education attainment, and urbanization. Physical activity was categorized into vigorous physical activity, moderate physical activity, and muscle training, and sedentary time was also measured. We conducted the log-binomial regression to calculate prevalence ratios (PRs) and prevalence differences.RESULTS: Our analysis included a total of 593,896 students. We observed an increasing trend in physical activity, but a worsening trend in sedentary behavior. A positive association was found between an adolescent’s physical activity and SEP indicators, except for urbanization. Adolescents with higher economic status engaged in more vigorous physical activity (high: PR, 1.26; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.25 to 1.28; middle: PR, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.04). Similar associations were observed for father’s education (tertiary or above: PR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.09 to 1.13; upper secondary: PR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.07) and mother’s education (tertiary or above: PR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.15 to 1.20; upper secondary: PR, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.08). Adolescents with higher economic status also showed a higher compliance rate with the guideline restricting sedentary time to 2 hours per day (high: PR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.25 to 1.30; middle: PR, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.05).CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents with higher SEP exhibited more physical activity and less sedentary time than those with lower SEP.

Authors: Martínez Gutiérrez Fátima , Palacios-Espinosa Ximena , Armado Leal Diego
Published: September 2023

Introducción: La OMS realizó recomendaciones para la publicación responsable de noticias sobre el suicidio, tras la evidencia de los efectos de imitación de esta conducta por la transmisión inadecuada de las mismas. La pandemia de Covid-19 tuvo un efecto negativo sobre la salud mental de la población humana, generando estados de franca vulnerabilidad. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue analizar las características de las noticias sobre suicidio publicadas en medios de comunicación masiva tradicionales de Colombia, antes y durante la pandemia de COVID-19 (2018-2021), según las recomendaciones mencionadas. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio documental en el que se analizó el contenido de 92 noticias sobre suicidio. Resultados: 100% de las noticias presentan deficiencias en el seguimiento de las recomendaciones de la OMS, especialmente en aprovechar la oportunidad para educar al público sobre el suicidio (96.7%); usar fotografías o videos de forma precavida (98.9%); prestar atención al informar sobre suicidios de celebridades (100%) y proporcionar información sobre dónde buscar ayuda (95.7%). Hubo diferencias en el seguimiento de las recomendaciones antes y durante la pandemia. Discusión: El seguimiento de las recomendaciones de la OMS en la transmisión de noticias sobre suicidio fue muy bajo, lo que puede ser un factor de riesgo que aumente la probabilidad de ocurrencia del efecto Werther. Conclusiones: Los medios de comunicación masiva tienen una alta responsabilidad en la transmisión de noticias sobre el suicidio y pueden contribuir de manera determinante en la imitación pero también en la prevención y educación sobre esta conducta.

Published: September 2023

Because of their multiple advantages, lithium-ion batteries are widely employed in a variety of applications ranging from wireless headphones to electric cars. They do, however, have disadvantages such as thermal issues, cell voltage imbalance, and safety concerns. The cell voltage in a battery pack must be balanced in order to determine its overall capacity and lifespan. A battery pack of four 3.7 V/1200 mAh lithium-ion batteries is researched under fixed temperature settings in this paper, with the goal of balancing cell voltages during charging and discharging via passive cell balancing. A battery management system (BMS) is used to monitor changes in cell temperatures, voltage, and current to ensure the lithium-ion battery’s health. The simulation environment was created with MATLAB, and simulation results for various temperatures are provided. The proposed method was tested utilizing a cloud-based battery parameter monitoring system, and the cell-balancing analysis is reported as a result. Overall, this work presents a practical approach for managing and balancing lithium-ion battery cell voltages in order to ensure safe and consistent battery performance.

Impact of Image Enhancement Methods on Automatic Transcription Trainings with eScriptorium
Authors: Jacsont Pauline , Leblanc Elina
Published: September 2023

This study stems from the Desenrollando el cordel (Untangling the cordel) project, which focuses on 19th-century Spanish prints editing. It evaluates the impact of image enhancement methods on the automatic transcription of low-quality documents, both in terms of printing and digitisation. We compare different methods (binarisation, deblur) and present the results obtained during the training of models with the Kraken tool. We demonstrate that binarisation methods give better results than the other, and that the combination of several techniques did not significantly improve the transcription prediction. This study shows the significance of using image enhancement methods with Kraken. It paves the way for further experiments with larger and more varied corpora to help future projects design their automatic transcription workflow.

Published: September 2023

Este artigo apresenta uma análise da Base de Conhecimentos para Docência de professores formadores em cursos de graduação, licenciatura e bacharelado, para o ensino dos conceitos de Estatística Descritiva. Problematiza-se como se configura essa Base em Instituições de Ensino Superior paranaenses. Os pressupostos teóricos que fundamentam a pesquisa que originou este trabalho estão apoiados em Grossman (1990) e Shulman (1986, 1987) sobre os conhecimentos necessários à atuação docente. Da pesquisa, de abordagem qualitativa, participaram oito professores com formação em licenciatura em Matemática ou Estatística. Para coleta de dados, foi utilizado o Content Representations (CoRe) [Representação do Conteúdo], um instrumento formado por oito questões que contemplam os conhecimentos definidos como Base de Conhecimentos para Docência. Os resultados apresentados revelam a incidência dos conhecimentos do tema, do contexto e da avaliação e suas interrelações com Conhecimento Pedagógico do Conteúdo (PCK), o qual se mostrou central para a configuração da Base de Conhecimentos para Docência em Estatística dos professores investigados. Essa Base constitui-se um referencial teórico relevante para estudos sobre a formação e a atuação profissional de professores que lecionam Estatística nos cursos de graduação e, por consequência, para estudos e pesquisas na área de Educação Estatística voltadas ao Ensino Superior.

El Pirineu i la construcció nacional: El fet literari gascó a l'inici del segle XX i la seua relació amb l'àmbit català (Camelat, Sarrieu, Condò)
Authors: Suïls i Subirà Jordi
Published: September 2023

From the beginning of the 20th century to approximately the 1940s the strongest (and, in many ways, the definitive) tide of linguistic substitution in favour of the French language reaches the Occitan speech area at the same time as an Occitan cultural consciousness develops, which comes from the relationship between the Catalan Renaixença and the Occitan Félibrige movements, both going back to the middle of the previous century. In this context, the case of Mistral and his contacts to e.g. Verdaguer have attracted researcher’s interest.      The Gascony extensions of this literary correlation are however less reputed. At that point Miquèu de Camelat writes his work. Born in Arrens, a small village in the Bigorre mountains, he is well known as author of Belina, a Pyrenean version of Mistral’s Mireia. With far more explicit ideologic aspects, Camelat publishes in 1920 Mort e viva, a piece that presents itself evidently as the big epic poem from the Gascony Pyrenees, obviously inspired by Verdaguer and concentrating on the important events that – according to the author – determined and still determine the existence or non-existence of the Gascon nation. The comparison of Camelat with his contemporaries, especially with Gascons like Bernat Sarrieu form Luchon and with the Aranese Jusèp Condò, shows us how the same cultural space (provided that we assume a cultural continuity in the whole of the Pyrenean area, at least concerning forms of interaction between man and mountain) was conceived in a total different manner by the Gascons and the Catalans and – depending on the various historic conditions – was transformed differently into literature.

Authors: Wali Kartik , Chakrasali R.L.
Published: September 2023

The demand for electricity from conventional power plants is increasing and global warming is increasing due to the emission of greenhouse gases into the environment. At present there is a move towards the use of renewable energy sources (RES) such as solar energy, wind energy, etc. Solar energy is the dominant source due to its abundant availability, pollution and reasonable cost. Solar energy satisfies the increasing demand for energy by integrating it with the existing conventional power plant grid. This paper proposes grid-connected PV system that converter solar energy to electrical energy. PV array is controlled and optimized by using a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm. Detailed analysis of the PV module connected to the grid is simulated with the help of MATLAB software and the results are analyzed.

Published: September 2023

La educación es un pilar fundamental para el desarrollo y progreso de una nación, ya que juega un papel crucial en la formación de ciudadanos competentes y comprometidos con su entorno social, cultural y político. Por ello, el objetivo de la investigación radicó en desarrollar un análisis comparativo de la política educativa ecuatoriana intercultural frente a los procesos educativos de Perú y El Salvador. A través de un enfoque cualitativo y comparativo se pretende analizar cómo estas tres naciones latinoamericanas han abordado la interculturalidad en sus sistemas educativos considerando factores históricos, socioculturales y políticos. Como técnica de recolección de datos se utilizó la revisión bibliográfica, ya que se trabajó con documentos institucionales de carácter público, producto de entidades gubernamentales, reglamentos de la Senescyt (Ecuador); de igual manera, se estudiaron y analizaron acuerdos bilaterales en su modalidad de concordatos, constituciones nacionales, leyes básicas y documentos conciliares. Se concluye que los tres países comparten un modelo común en el reconocimiento de la diversidad cultural, la promoción de la identidad cultural y la formación de docentes en comunicación intercultural. Sin embargo, difieren en aspectos como la integración de las lenguas indígenas, el compromiso social y enfoques específicos de convivencia y construcción de ciudadanía intercultural.
“Thoughts, that breathe, and words, that burn,” or the growth of a writer’s mind: Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s diary
Authors: Rowland Yana
Published: September 2023

Published first in 1969, Diary by E. B. B. (1831–1832) has been an intersection of scholarly debates on nineteenth-century English literature, femininity, diurnal narrative, and aesthetic experience. A confessional document of the last two years of Elizabeth’s life at the family estate of Hope End, the diary throws her unique self-creationist and self-revisionary impulses into relief. It is an outstanding prose-fiction piece of evidence of her overall penchant for self-acclaim by way of self-denial. This paper aims at tracing the development of the woman writer in view of the immediacy and ontological priority of an implied Other found at the core of self-writing, as Elizabeth’s diary signals. A modicum of contextual references to some of E. B. Browning’s poetical works brings out her self-reflexive leanings. Finally, it could be argued that self-questioning distinguishes Elizabeth Barrett Browning as a polemicist whose private diary identifies the concept of time as the kernel of her perception of identity as responsibility.

PERCEPÇÕES INDÍGENAS SOBRE A MINERAÇÃO NO MÉDIO RIO NEGRO
Authors: Monteiro Suliete Gervásio , Resende Ana Catarina Zema de
Published: September 2023

No cenário nacional e internacional, o Rio Negro tem despertado interesse de empresários das mais diversas áreas, sobretudo de empresas mineradoras que disputam espaço e riquezas com garimpeiros, madeireiros e pescadores ilegais nas terras indígenas. Essa disputa por espaços e recursos, muitas vezes, significa a invasão de territórios pertencentes aos povos indígenas, criando conflitos socioambientais relevantes. O objetivo desse estudo é examinar, à luz da ecologia política latino-americana, as percepções de alguns indígenas sobre os impactos socioambientais advindos da atividade mineradora para os povos indígenas que residem às margens do Médio Rio Negro, área pertencente ao Município de Santa Isabel do Rio Negro, Amazonas. Como metodologia de trabalho foi realizada uma pesquisa no município de Santa Isabel do Rio Negro com a intenção de identificar como a população e as lideranças indígenas locais lidam com a questão da atividade minerária na região. Foram realizadas entrevistas e aplicados questionáriossemi-estruturados. Finalmente, podemos reconhecer nas percepções dos indígenas entrevistados a consciência da “desigualdade ecológica” de que fala a ecologia política latino-americana, ou seja, das desiguais e assimétricas relações de poder nos processos de decisão, no acesso aos recursos e serviços ambientais, assim como nas consequências desiguais das degradações ambientais, e sua determinação em lutar para que sejam reconhecidos seus direitos, sobretudo o direito à consulta livre, prévia e informada.

Bioprospecting of enzymes from fungi isolated from Canastra cheeses for industrial application
Authors:   , Lopes Isabelle Lima
Published: September 2023

The microbial diversity of Brazilian artisanal cheeses is far from being fully explored. Among frequently isolated microorganisms, bacteria and fungi stand out. Filamentous fungi can be highlighted for their significant impact in the quality of surface mould-ripened cheeses, besides that several metabolites produced, including enzymes. Fungal enzymes are widely used in industry, due to the easier extraction and purification compared to other enzymes sources. In this context, the aim of this study was to evaluate the proteolytic and lipolytic activity of 58 filamentous fungi isolated from artisanal cheeses produced in Canastra region, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Submerged fermentation assays were performed considering casein as a protease inducer and olive oil as a lipase-inducing substrate. The proteolytic activity was evaluated by the caseinolytic method using a spectrophotometric assay; lipolytic activity, by potentiometric titration of fatty acids released by fungi lipases. Penicillium steckii and Aspergillus versicolor showed the highest proteolytic activity, with with 31.14 U/mL and 29.35 U/mL, respectively. Regarding lipolytic activity, Geotrichum candidum and Penicillium steckii presented the highest activities, with 62.91 U/mL and 55.44 U/mL, respectively. Considering the results of the proteolytic activity and their potential use in the dairy industry, a Geotrichum candidum isolate (GC-31) was selected and submitted to ultraviolet light (UV) mutation induction assay; then, the mutants obtained were evaluated for proteolytic activity. In total, 18 mutant strains were obtained; GC-M10 showed an increase in proteolytic activity up to 274% (29.96 U/mL) in comparison to the wild type (10.94 U/mL); therefore, the UV induction method was efficient in increasing the enzymatic activity of the isolated evaluated. This study showed that fungi isolated from artisanal cheeses produced in Canastra region have potential for biotechnological exploration and the production of industrial enzymes. Keywords: Protease.Lipase. Canastra cheese.Geotrichum candidum.Mutante.Epifluorescence microscopy.

Nature serves as an excellent inspiration for researchers in the fields of chemistry and medicine. Terrestrial or marine organisms produce billions of natural products with unique chemical and physical properties. Some of them have been used in traditional therapy for specific diseases since ancient times. Although their exact chemical structures have yet to be elucidated clearly in that time, investigations in medicinal chemistry have been well documented.

A first approach of beach sanding on the Black Sea Romanian’s coast
Authors: Beer Albert
Published: September 2023

The Romanian coastline, which is subject to complex processes of geomorphological evolution due to beach sanding actions, as well as other natural and anthropogenic factors. Beach sanding is an important action in the maintenance and development of coastal areas, it provides protection against erosion, contributes to the formation and maintenance of beaches, as well as to the preservation of coastal ecosystems The main source of sand for Romanian beaches is coastal transport, i.e. the movement of sand along the coast under the action of values, current and wind. Naturally, there is some redistribution of sand along the coast, with an area where it accumulates and an area where it is lost. However, human intervention and other influences can disrupt this natural balance. In order to counteract the negative impact of insufficient sanding, various coastal management measures have been implemented in Romania. These include the artificial replenishment of beaches by bringing in additional sand from the seabed or other sources, as well as the construction of beach protection and stabilization works.

One of the graduation requirements to get a bachelor's degree is to complete the final project. The implementation of the final assignment consists of several stages, starting with the submission of the proposal, proposal presentations, final project guidance, final project presentations, and final project defense. The Faculty of Engineering (FTEK) is one of the faculties at the Nusantara Islamic University (UNINUS). The implementation of the final assignment at FTEK UNINUS has not been well integrated because it still uses several different tools at each stage, making proposal seminar schedules, final project presentation schedules, and final project defense schedules is also still done manually by education staff (tendik). One of the ways to integrate the implementation of the final project is through information system development. Therefore, a website-based final project information system application was developed using the waterfall software development method with UML, the JavaScript programming language using the NextJS framework, and the PostgreSQL database. The result of this study is the final project information system website application, which is expected to help related parties at FTEK UNINUS implement their final project step by step
