UNLOCKING POTENTIAL: HOW SERUM L1EV Α-SYNUCLEIN MAY REVOLUTIONIZE PARKINSON’S DIAGNOSTICS
Authors: Zahid Tabeer , Nabi Rayyan , Farooqi Hanzala Ahmed
Published: November 2024

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) poses many challenges and the urgent need for early diagnosis, emphasizing the limitations of motor symptoms in providing timely detection is imperative. The MDS research criteria, including motor changes, non-motor symptoms, and dopaminergic functional imaging findings, are crucial markers for prodromal PD diagnosis. Shijun Yan et al. recent study introduces serum L1EV α-synuclein levels as a potential biomarker, detecting early pathogenesis shifts, serving as a cost-effective and accessible tool for screening high-risk individuals. The benefits of this multi-marker approach benefits in evaluating disease prognosis and progression. Serum L1EV α-synuclein's role in uncovering non-motor features, such as depression and anxiety, in prodromal PD underscores its significance for improving patient quality of life. The potential for early intervention using this biomarker offers hope for halting neurodegeneration and delaying clinical PD development. The global applicability of this promising biomarker needs to be looked into, while the need for more diverse racial and ethnic studies regarding it are required. Ultimately, the letter argues that identifying high-risk individuals through L1EV α-synuclein enables timely neuroprotective interventions, providing patients with valuable insights into disease progression and reducing uncertainty and fear.

Beleidsevaluatie in de praktijk: omgaan met uitdagingen en belangen

Deze beschouwing staat stil bij praktische belemmeringen en belangen waarmee een onderzoeker te maken kan krijgen in beleidsevaluaties. Het eerste deel reflecteert (niet uitputtend) op enkele praktische uitdagingen en hoe een onderzoeker daarmee in de praktijk om kan gaan. Een eerste uitdaging is dat evaluaties wat betreft aantallen, scope en timing niet altijd aansluiten bij de informatiebehoeften van beleidsmakers. Evaluatoren zullen voorts bij het uitwerken van een onderzoeksopzet (niet geheel onverwacht) ervaren dat beleidsmakers doorgaans geen of weinig rekening houden met een (latere) evaluatie. De laatste uitdaging in dit deel betreft toenemende verwachtingen van beleidsmakers (als opdrachtgever van evaluaties) ten aanzien van kwantificering in en digitalisering van evaluaties. Het tweede deel van deze beschouwing behandelt meer politieke belangen die de keuzeruimte voor een evaluator beperken. Het omgaan met deze belangen in beleidsevaluaties vereist de vaardigheid om partijen te kunnen overtuigen van de juistheid van de keuzes die een evaluator in zijn (of haar) onderzoek maakt. Het negeren van deze belangen kan de doorwerking van een onderzoek beperken. Het tweede deel staat daarom apart stil bij doorwerking.

From ‘fake it till you make it’ towards building mutual trust in EAW proceedings: an account of the Aranyosi mechanism

In this contribution, I discuss the most important development for the European Arrest Warrant, the Aranyosi jurisprudence, which created the possibility for courts to refuse execution on human rights’ grounds. I argue that the impact on mutual trust can be negative (short term) and positive (long term) under some conditions. Whereas presently mutual trust is decreased, the Aranyosi mechanism enables national authorities to build up a more sustainable trust, moving away from a ‘fake it till you make it’ mentality.

Authors:   University of Benin, Nigeria, Falodun Ehizogie Joyce , Izegboya Adishetu
Published: November 2024

: Jute mallow Corchorus olitorious is a vegetable from the Tiliaceae family, which is widely consumed in Africa, particularly in West Africa, where it is used as a staple vegetable. Harvesting height and frequency is key to determining the quantity and quality of this crop. Field and laboratory studies were carried out to examine the growth, herbage yield and proximate composition of Jute mallow Corchorus olitorious as influenced by harvesting height and frequency. The studies were composed of three harvesting heights (H1- harvesting at 10 cm above the ground, H2 - harvesting at 15 cm above the ground, H3 - harvesting at 20 cm above the ground) and three different harvesting frequencies (F1 – every week harvesting, F2 - every two weeks harvesting, F3 - every three weeks harvesting). Growth and yield characteristics and proximate composition were assessed. The results revealed that harvesting height and frequency increased the number of leaves and branches of C. olitorious except for the stem diameter. The yield and proximate composition of C. olitorious were significantly enhanced and it was observed that plants harvested every week at 10 cm above the ground (H1F1) produced lower herbage yields (1.50 and 1.87) t ha-1 compared with the ones harvested at 20 cm which produced higher yield (7.85 and 4.39) t ha-1 at three weeks harvesting frequency (H3F3) however, better quality vegetables in terms of proximate composition were harvested every week at 20 cm above ground level (H3F1).
Construcciones del bienestar de la primera infancia
Authors: Gaitán Clavijo María Consuelo
Published: November 2024

El bienestar infantil se configura a través de las prácticas de cuidado con niños y niñas en sus primeros años de vida, las cuales están mediadas por sujetos, contextualizadas en escenarios específicos y enmarcadas en políticas e instituciones. Esta investigación posiciona el cuidado, por un lado, como un prisma analítico de las políticas e intervenciones destinadas a la primera infancia que permite develar implícitos, tensiones, relaciones de poder. Por otro lado, lo presenta como un asunto público, político y central que ha sido subsidiario tanto en los niveles programáticos como cotidianos. De este modo, dado su carácter sustancial para la organización de la provisión estatal y para la construcción de la categoría de infancia, se analiza la manera en que se construye el bienestar infantil, en el marco de las prácticas y relaciones de cuidado, en una implementación del Programa de Hogares Comunitarios del Instituto Colombiano de Bienestar Familiar (ICBF).

Published: November 2024

O estresse pode afetar o comportamento alimentar de diferentes maneiras, resultando em perda de peso ou consumo excessivo de alimentos como forma de aliviar a tensão, impactando no estado nutricional dos universitários. O objetivo deste estudo foi associar o estresse com o comportamento alimentar e o estado nutricional de universitários.  Estudo transversal, realizado em 2024, com 200 universitários de uma Universidade Comunitária do Rio Grande do Sul. Os dados foram coletados por um formulário online com questões sobre idade, altura, peso, sexo e questionários validados de escala de estresse percebido (EEP) e comportamento alimentar, Three Factor Eating Questionnaire-21 (TFEQ-R21). O estado nutricional foi classificado pelo Índice de Massa Corporal, com base nos critérios da Organização Mundial da Saúde para adultos e Organização Pan-Americana para maiores de 60 anos. Os resultados foram considerados significativos a um nível de significância máximo de 5%. Os indivíduos classificados com nível de estresse intermediário associaram-se ao comportamento alimentar de restrição cognitiva e os com nível de estresse elevado ao comportamento alimentar de alimentação emocional (p≤0,01). Observou-se que com o aumento da idade, o nível de estresse e o comportamento alimentar emocional tendem a diminuir (p=0,015 e p=0,036). Os estudantes eutróficos associaram-se ao comportamento alimentar de restrição cognitiva, enquanto os obesos com o comportamento alimentar de alimentação emocional (p=0,048). O sexo feminino associou-se com o comportamento alimentar emocional, enquanto o masculino com comportamento de descontrole alimentar (p≤0,01). Conclui-se que o estresse influencia o comportamento alimentar e o estado nutricional dos universitários.

Published: November 2024

O impacto resultante da poluição olfativa provoca vários incômodos na população afetada e influencia na qualidade de vida. Este estudo teve como objetivo conhecer as características odoríferas (intensidade, frequência, incômodos, entre outros) de sete bairros desfavorecidos pela direção dos ventos e proximidade de duas indústrias: graxaria (localizada em Várzea Grande/MT) e cervejaria (Cuiabá/MT). Por ser de caráter subjetivo, o odor é considerado de difícil avaliação e por isso há dificuldade em métodos de avaliação e legislações eficazes acerca do problema. Dessa forma, foram elaborados questionários a respeito do assunto e posteriormente aplicados aos moradores dos bairros em estudo visando preencher essa lacuna. Dos entrevistados, 83,5% responderam positivamente quanto á percepção de odores na região, sendo o odor proveniente de ambas as indústrias. O estudo desenvolvido esclarece a problemática da poluição olfativa ocasionada pelas indústrias, identificando a necessidade de se investigar as principais etapas do processo de fabricação responsáveis pela geração de odores e possíveis soluções.

Published: November 2024

A fixação de fósforo ocorre quando suas formas solúveis se transformam em formas menos solúveis, limitando sua disponibilidade para as plantas. Diversas pesquisas indicam que os fertilizantes organominerais podem reduzir o processo natural de fixação do fósforo lábil aplicado ao solo. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a fixação de fósforo (P) em solos de textura argilosa e textura média, utilizando diferentes tipos de fertilizantes fosfatados em diversas dosagens. O experimento foi realizado no laboratório do campus Umuarama, em recipientes plásticos com capacidade de 500g. Dois tipos de solo foram coletados no campus Glória da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, sendo classificados como de textura argilosa e textura média. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado (DIC), em esquema fatorial 4×4, com 4 repetições, totalizando 64 parcelas. O primeiro fator correspondeu a quatro fontes de fósforo: (1) fertilizante organomineral com base orgânica de resíduos de celulose farelados (05-26-00); (2) fertilizante organomineral com base orgânica de resíduos de celulose granulados (05-26-00); (3) fertilizante mineral polimerizado; e (4) fertilizante mineral convencional. O segundo fator foi composto por quatro doses de P₂O₅ (0, 200, 400 e 800 kg ha⁻¹ de P₂O₅). Em todos os extratores utilizados, a maior disponibilidade de fósforo foi observada nos tratamentos com fertilizantes organominerais e o mineral polimerizado, em comparação ao fertilizante mineral convencional. A maior disponibilidade de fósforo na solução do solo resultou em menor fixação do nutriente nos tratamentos com fertilizantes organominerais e o fertilizante mineral polimerizado, demonstrando a proteção física e química proporcionada por esses fertilizantes.

Authors: Araújo Tallyta Karolayne Souza , Dias Clara Angélica Gonçalves Cavalcanti
Published: November 2024

O neoconstitucionalismo inaugura um período de efetivação dos direitos fundamentais, superando a concepção da Constituição como um documento meramente retórico e conferindo-lhe um papel central na implementação do Estado Democrático de Direito. Essa transformação doutrinária impulsionou o ativismo judicial, enfatizando a necessidade de garantir a razoável duração do processo como uma condição essencial para a efetividade da ordem jurídica e para a proteção dos direitos dos cidadãos. No cenário atual, as inovações tecnológicas decorrentes da Quarta Revolução Industrial oferecem novas ferramentas para o aprimoramento da prestação jurisdicional, impactando diretamente a forma como o Poder Judiciário opera e responde às demandas processuais. Este estudo visa analisar a atuação do Judiciário frente a essas inovações tecnológicas e sua contribuição para a celeridade processual. A metodologia adotada envolve pesquisa qualitativa e bibliográfica, com foco em disposições normativas, jurisprudenciais e doutrinárias. O objetivo é avaliar como a digitalização e outras tecnologias emergentes podem garantir uma justiça mais célere e eficaz, em conformidade com o princípio constitucional da duração razoável do processo.

Published: November 2024

We are reporting a case involving a 25-year-old male patient who presented with mild headaches. A hyperdense mass in the pineal region was observed during a computed tomography scan. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging revealed a heterogeneous mass in the pineal region, which did not exhibit contrast enhancement. The initial radiographic differential diagnoses included a germ cell tumor (teratoma) or an unusual fat-containing tumor, such as a lipoma. However, the patient’s tumor marker levels, including alpha-fetoprotein and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin, were within normal ranges. The patient underwent surgical resection, during which intraoperative findings indicated a relatively firm, whitish tumor. The mass was grossly total removed, and the patient recovered well without experiencing any neurological deficits. Histopathological examination of the excised tissue revealed a cyst lined by squamous epithelium, including keratin pearls, consistent with an epidermoid cyst. This case report highlights an unusual epidermoid cyst located in the pineal gland region, characterized by atypical radiological findings that posed challenges in achieving an accurate preoperative diagnosis.

Published: November 2024

Tuberculous otitis media is a chronic granulomatous disease of the middle ear as well as temporal bone and a rare form of tuberculosis. Diagnosis is difficult due to its unspecific clinical features and a lack of reliable diagnostic tests including microbiological and histopathological examinations. Unfortunately, demonstration of microbiological positivity has been the exception rather than the rule. The polymerase chain reaction test has been recommended as the standard for suspected tuberculous otitis media. In our country, the “National Tuberculosis Elimination Project” has been reduced the numbers of newly-diagnosed tuberculosis since 2010. We recently experienced a case of tuberculous otitis media in young female. Despite the diagnosis was suspected early, it was not confirmed because tuberculosis studies of otorrhea were negative. The objective of this article is to make an awareness of tuberculous otitis media, to present the suggestion for its early diagnosis, and review its diagnostic criteria and treatment.

The development, use, and timely promotion of Open Education (OE) has been effective in addressing myriad educational concerns, including inclusivity, accessibility and learning achievement, among many others. However, limited information exists in the literature concerning how OE could enhance Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), which is receiving extensive interest and criticism at this time. To address this research gap, this study relies on the Open Educational Practices (OEP) framework of Huang et al. (2020) to provide various OEP scenarios that could help to promote and facilitate the effective and safe adoption of GenAI in education. The findings of this study could provide guidelines on how relying on OEP when adopting GenAI could help in ensuring quality education which is the sustainable development goal (SDG 4) of the United Nations (UN).
