Throughout their entire history, swords have been among the professionally and layman-attractive historical artefacts documenting the technological and artistic level of the given period. Although the history of swords is very long and goes back deep into prehistoric times, the peak of the sword as a weapon and as a status symbol is undoubtedly the Middle Ages. It was precisely then that the sword became a symbol of the gradually constituting nobility and it is here that its perception as an ambivalent object starts. It is seen on the one hand a symbol of power, honour, courage, and law, but on the other hand also of violence and war. The book presents medieval swords to the lay public in a comprehensive form as objects of study in many scientific disciplines, from archaeology to metallurgy, and places the acquired knowledge in the Central European context. It shows the methods of researching swords as well as our current knowledge of their manufacture, including technological experiments. The book presents the results of long-term scientific research in a popular form, which was recently crowned by two extensive scientific monographs.

Voices from the Retirees: Redefining Quality of Life in Sabah’s Post-Pandemic Retirement Landscape
Authors: Ibrahim Dzurizah , Shah Jalihah Md
Published: May 2024

This study explores into the intricate and subjective nature of quality of life, which evolves based on an individual’s interpretation and experiences. Existing indicators in Malaysia, intended for all societal strata, overlook the nuanced needs of specific age groups, employing a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Focusing on B40 public sector retirees in Sabah, this research explores the multifaceted meaning of quality of life through in-depth interviews with 62 retirees from five districts. The findings reveal that quality of life is underpinned by key themes: physical well-being, financial stability, social well-being, emotional well-being, health security, and religious values. These themes emphasize the self-sufficiency of B40 retirees, particularly in the post-pandemic era. The prevailing indicators fail to account for age-specific nuances, highlighting the need for Malaysia to prepare and support this demographic as the nation ages. Beyond contributing valuable perspectives, this study offers nuanced insights into the holistic well-being of retirees in Sabah, extending beyond existing literature. The study’s findings provide a basis for redefining quality of life in the context of B40 public sector retirees, emphasizing the importance of tailoring approaches to meet the distinct needs of this demographic in the evolving landscape of societal aging.

A cefaleia pós-punção dural (CPPD) é uma complicação comum e debilitante após a raquianestesia, impactando negativamente a recuperação dos pacientes e aumentando os custos de saúde. Objetivo: Esta revisão bibliográfica tem como objetivo abordar sobre a incidência, fatores de risco e estratégias de manejo da CPPD em pacientes submetidos à raquianestesia. Métodos: Esta revisão bibliográfica foi conduzida por meio de uma busca sistemática na literatura científica publicada nos últimos 15 anos, abrangendo o período de 2009 a 2024, nas bases de dados PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus e Google Scholar. Os critérios de inclusão foram estudos originais e revisões em inglês, português ou espanhol, que investigaram estratégias de intervenção para CPPD. Excluíram-se relatos de caso, editoriais e estudos focados em outras condições médicas. Resultados e Discussão: A incidência da CPPD varia de 0,1% a 36%, sendo influenciada pela técnica anestésica e características do paciente. Fatores de risco incluem idade, sexo feminino e gravidez. A escolha de agulhas de menor calibre e com ponta de lápis reduz a incidência de CPPD. Técnicas de punção orientadas por ultrassonografia minimizam punções traumáticas. O manejo conservador, incluindo hidratação e uso de analgésicos é eficaz em casos leves. O blood patch epidural é o tratamento padrão-ouro para casos graves, enquanto derivados de cafeína são uma alternativa promissora. Conclusão: Esta revisão destaca a importância de uma abordagem multifacetada na prevenção e manejo da CPPD, integrando práticas baseadas em evidências, educação contínua dos profissionais de saúde e pesquisa contínua.

In non-human primates (NHPs), Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) species are the major source of non-tuberculous mycobacteriosis, causing tuberculous-like lesions in lymph nodes and parenchymatous organs in zoo and wildlife animals. Poor species-specific detection by serological diagnosis has negatively impacted the surveillance of MAC on non-human primates. Serum was collected from suspected twelve (n = 12) NHPs with no record of health monitoring, including gibbon (n = 5), capuchins (n = 2), siamang (n = 2), mandrill (n = 1), and orangutan (n = 2). An in-house avian purified protein derivative (aPPD) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) antibody detection was developed and modified based on the established protocols. The aPPD ELISA for MAC antibodies detection at serum and Protein-G dilutions of 1:200-0.5µg/ml, respectively, detected 3/12 (25%) positive serum. At both serum and Protein-G dilutions of 1:100-0.05 and 1:300-1 µg/ml, the aPPD ELISA detected 12/12 (100%), respectively. The antibody was not detected for an in-house aPPD ELISA with serum and anti-monkey immunoglobulin G (IgG) dilutions at 1:100-0.5 and 1:300-1 µg/ml. However, 2/12 (16%) was detected using serum and anti-monkey IgG dilutions at 1:200-0.05 µg/ml. An in-house aPPD ELISA procedure for MAC antibodies detection in primates, at serum and Protein-G dilutions of 1:100-0.05 and 1:300-1 µg/ml, both have shown sensitivity and specificity of 100%, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of 100%, respectively. The serum and anti-monkey IgG have shown extremely low sensitivity and specificity. In conclusion, the performance of an in-house aPPD ELISA using three different dilutions on serum and conjugates in detecting MAC in a primate has shown that Protein-G horseradish peroxidase, as secondary conjugates were able to detect MAC antibodies.

With a high likelihood of being discharged into aquatic habitats, zinc oxide nanoparticles have been widely employed in a variety of industrial and commercial goods. Concerns over their effects on the environment and human health have grown. This study evaluated the developmental toxicity of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on the embryo Java medaka (Oryzias javanicus). With three replicates for each treatment group, the Java medaka embryos were subject to various concentrations of ZnO NPs (10, 25, 50, 100, and 150 μg/L). The heartbeat of treated embryos was increased compared to the control group at 5-, 8-, and 11-days post-exposure (dpe). However, the hatching and mortality of embryos decreased when the concentrations of ZnO NPs increased. Meanwhile, deformities such as low pigmentation, edema (yolk sac and pericardial edema), and spinal deformities were observed in the embryo and larva during the exposure time. Compared to previous studies, ZnO NPs show severe toxicity to selected endpoints at lower concentrations in the embryos of Java medaka.

Purpose: The goal of this research paper is to provide a knowledge of the current state of the Human Activity Recognition (HAR) by carefully combining the available HAR literature. The essay also tries to provide a suitable HAR system that may be utilized for real-time activity detection, including healthcare, surveillance, and suspicious conduct. With a focus on complex and multi-task human activity recognition across various domains, this review study aims to examine the state of human activity detection and recognition techniques while also outlining promising directions for future research and development in the area. Design/Methodology/Approach: By gathering and evaluating the necessary material from worldwide and national journals, conferences, databases, and other resources found through Google Scholar and other search engines, a systematic literature review process was employed. Findings/Result: The comprehensive analysis of the study revealed several techniques for identifying and detecting human activity. There is still room to investigate the role of this technology in different domains to improve its robustness in detecting and recognizing of multiple human actions from preloaded CCTV cameras, which can aid in detecting abnormal and suspicious activities and ultimately reduce aberrant human actions in society. This is true even though the current study reports the investigations of several aspects of Human activity detection and recognition. Originality/Value: This essay proposes a concept map and uses a methodical approach to analyze the variables that affect the identification and detection of human activities.
