This case report examines a poignant instance of severe preeclampsia in a 26 year old with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss and however, a prior vaginal delivery. The patient presented at 29 weeks gestation with acute lower abdominal pain with associated abruptio placentae, resulting in a stillbirth and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC). The intricate interplay of obstetric history and clinical management reveals the challenges in navigating such complex scenarios. The patient's obstetric history of recurrent miscarriages and a vaginal delivery with perineal tear signals a predisposition to adverse outcomes. The acute presentation of abruptio placentae underscores the imperative for heightened vigilance in pregnant women even in the absence of antenatal complaints. Successful resuscitation involved correcting shock, transfusing three units of blood and addressing hemorrhagic DIC. Tranexamic acid, pentazocine, normal saline, misoprostol and oxytocin were employed to stabilize the patient, highlighting the necessity of a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach. This case serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of severe preeclampsia and emphasizes on the critical importance of early detection and intervention. Future research endeavors should focus on refining risk stratification models and exploring innovative interventions to enhance maternal and fetal outcomes in high-risk pregnancies.

Published: June 2024

In Ayurveda food is considered as superior medicine and one among the vital supporting pillars of health [1]. A diet should provide physical and mental well-being, along with the dynamic equilibrium of various structural and functional units of the individual. Pranavaha srotas includes diseases of respiratory system ie, swasa, kasa, hikka, rajayakshma where aetiology prevention is the primary treatment. Difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath caused due to excessive intake of kapha aggravating food and regimen the kapha along with vata gets into pitta sthana which is termed as swasa (Asthma). Vitiated vata dosha along with kapha dosha obstructs the pranavaha, udakavaha and annavaha srotasa (respiratory system, watery elements & digestive system) and produces different types of hikka vyadhi. Hikka canbe correlated in modern science with hiccup. The vitiated Prana vayu along with udana vayu which further gets aggravated in association with other doshas and expelled out forcefully with a coughing sound like the broken bronze vessel, called as Kasa. Rajayakshma is one among the Asta mahagadas (eight dreadful diseases) described by Acharya Charaka and is known as the "king of the disease", it can be correlated to pulmonary tuberculosis due to similarity in symptoms. Globally, respiratory diseases both communicable and noncommunicable, are among the leading causes of mortality, morbidity, economic and societal burden, and disability-adjusted life years. Respiratory diseases are abnormalities that affect the air passages, the bronchi, and the lungs. By understanding the parameters of pathya/wholesome and apathy/unwholesome relating to respiratory system one can easily prevent, cure and avoid recurrence of the disease pertaining to the same. Pathya can be understood as those practices which do not afflict the patha/srotas/channels of circulation and is relishing to manas (mind). On the contrary, Apathya is that which is Apriya (Not relished) to Manas, such a Dravya should not be consumed on daily basis.

Published: June 2024

Automatic Essay Scoring (AES) with context- based analysis with cohesion and coherence aims to develop a model that can assess essays automatically or by translating language diversity and student understanding. AES with context-based analysis using methods and applications based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and the Machine Learning Framework (MLF), apart from being able to provide essay answers automatically, can also assess student understanding. Student or student understanding is the value obtained from answering questions according to the level of understanding that comes from the answer. By using the concepts of cohesion and coherence in the essay assessment system, the teacher can assess the quality of the answers obtained. The context-based essay assessment system was built to facilitate and speed up the process of assessing essay exam answers, to obtain standards and consistency in essay assessment according to the diversity of answers and the diversity of assessors if they have more than one subject. An essay exam is a learning evaluation given in the form of essay questions which have more varied answers than multiple choice questions. These variations in answers create difficulties for lecturers or teaching staff in assessing answers.
Ceterum censeo, ne beszéljünk még rendészettudományról
Authors: Balla Zoltán
Published: June 2024

Aim: One of the aims of the study is to generate a debate that seeks to synthesise. The nascent field of law enforcement has developed a lot over the last 30 years or so, thanks to the constructive ideas of many eminent law enforcement researchers, but it is not yet a discipline in its own right. In order to become a genuine discipline, it is essential, among other things, to engage in open and debatable polemics on the basic problems of the subject, and in doing so to establish a consensus on the basic scientific concepts. To become a science, it is essential to critically examine the legislation relating to policing, and thus to analyse it in relation to the Fundamental Law and to itself, with particular attention to conceptual confusion and subjectively interpretable terms. In addition to outlining certain problems of scientific theory, the present study also aims to explore the contradictions between the definition of police tasks and other legal provisions in the Fundamental Law and the Police Act, and to justify the redefinition of the legal provisions. To put forward ideas for consideration which may help codifiers in the next amendment of the Fundamental Law and, in the long term, in the regulation of the general content of the Police Act.
Methodology: From a methodological point of view, the interpretation of the individual conceptual elements was based on the Fundamental Law, the analysis of the Police Act, the literature and the relevant research results. On the other hand, a non-representative survey was carried out among Traffic Police of two police stations full-time and master students of the Faculty of Law Enforcement of the Ludovika University of Public Service, in order to collect a set of data from which conclusions could be drawn.
Findings: Debates are necessary. In the process, consensus must be reached on the most fundamental dogmatic issues necessary for the development of the nascent science of policing, including a critical revision of many of the Law enforcement lexicon’s entries. To equate police and policing, to regard the two categories as synonymous, is a serious mistake. The legal object of the police and the police function, which is based on law, is approximately the same. The police law is the primary law of law enforcement. The definition of its public task (the legal subject matter), including the relevant article of the Fundamental Law, urgently needs to be reconsidered, as it gives rise to differing, even arbitrary, legal interpretations in practice. On the other hand, it fundamentally undermines the prospects of the nascent science of law and order.
Value: The study critically points out the diagnosis of the nascent police science, at the same time it wants to give a partial prognosis on the collisions of the legal regulation of law enforcement and police, and the need for codification perspectives.
Közfeladatot ellátó személy-e a pedagógus? Egy jogalkotási hiba margójára
Authors: Ambrus István
Published: June 2024

Aim: The study presents the controversial legislative amendment that has made it controversial from 1 January 2024 whether teachers can be considered as public servants.
Methodology: The study uses logical, taxonomic and historical analysis.
Findings: In the light of this, it is difficult to identify which persons fall into this category. It is difficult to determine which persons are considered to be performing a public duty. However, teachers, as their work as lecturerers and educators is a fundamental national value, should be included, regardless of whether this is explicitly stated in other legislation.
Value: The study concludes that the judiciary is justified in considering teachers as performing a public task even if there was a period between 1 January 2024 and 10 May 2024 when the Public Education Act did not explicitly state this.

Kinematic Association of Two FU Orionis Stars with Young Clusters in Orion
Authors: Roychowdhury Tamojeet , Hillenbrand Lynne A.
Published: June 2024

Many known FU Orionis stars are projected on the sky at the peripheries of star-forming regions. Physical association is assumed, but not yet firmly established. We investigate the cases of two such stars, FU Ori and V883 Ori, seeking kinematic evidence of their membership in young clusters associated with the Orion molecular clouds. Using astrometric data from Gaia DR3, we search for consistent 2D velocities, and we also use more limited radial velocity data to assess 3D velocities. Considering +/ − 25 pc boxes centered on λ Ori and the Orion Nebula Cluster, we use the inferred velocity fields to confirm the kinematic association of FU Ori with the former, and V883 Ori with the latter.

Published: June 2024

Purpose: Patients undergoing radiation therapy (RT) often experience psychological anxiety that manifests as muscle contraction. Our study explored psychological anxiety in these patients by using biological signals recorded using a smartwatch.Materials and Methods: Informed consent was obtained from participating patients prior to the initiation of RT. The patients wore a smartwatch from the waiting room until the conclusion of the treatment. The smartwatch acquired data related to heart rate features (average, minimum, and maximum) and stress score features (average, minimum, and maximum). On the first day of treatment, we analyzed the participants' heart rates and stress scores before and during the treatment. The acquired data were categorized according to sex and age. For patients with more than three days of data, we observed trends in heart rate during treatment relative to heart rate before treatment (HRtb) over the course of treatment. Statistical analyses were performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and paired t-test.Results: Twenty-nine individuals participated in the study, of which 17 had more than 3 days of data. During treatment, all patients exhibited elevated heart rates and stress scores, particularly those in the younger groups. The HRtb levels decreased as treatment progresses. Conclusion: Patients undergoing RT experience notable psychological anxiety, which tends to diminish as the treatment progresses. Early stage interventions are crucial to alleviate patient anxiety during RT.

Para o encanto, espanto ou edificação das criaturas: Peregrino Jr. e as ideias científicas de Kretschmer em revistas de variedades do Rio de Janeiro (1930-1941)
Authors: Bispo Cerqueira Ede C.
Published: June 2024

[pt] A década de 1930 foi um período de ampla circulação de teorias médico-psicológicas que tratavam sobre a constituição individual e os tipos de personalidade na imprensa brasileira. Neste artigo, analiso o papel desempenhado pelo médico e escritor João Peregrino Jr. na divulgação da teoria sobre os temperamentos, criada pelo médico Ernest Kretschmer, em revistas de variedades do Rio de Janeiro, no período de 1930 a 1941. Observo como as apropriações dessa teoria, realizadas por Peregrino Jr., foram aplicadas aos debates locais sobre dois temas interligados: a aplicação de teorias médicas na crítica literária e estudos biográficos e a relação entre medicina e literatura, temáticas que, de um ponto de vista mais amplo, se referiam à discussão sobre as relações entre ciência e arte. Sobre o primeiro tema, Peregrino Jr. defendeu que a utilização das teorias de Kretschmer tornariam os estudos mais completos e aprofundados do que aqueles embasados em outras correntes médicas e psicológicas, enquanto, sobre o segundo tema, considerou que os médicos estariam mais aptos a desenvolver este tipo de literatura de divulgação que outros escritores. Desta maneira, argumento que Peregrino Jr. operou como mediador cultural, levando um tema debatido por especialistas para um público mais amplo no Rio de Janeiro.

Machine Learning Algorithms for Attitude Prediction From Arabic Text: Detecting Student Attitude Towards Online Learning
Authors: Alshdaifat Esra'a , Al-shdaifat Ala'a , Alsarhan Ayoub
Published: June 2024

Due to its flexibility, accessibility and the increasing importance of digital literacy, online learning has gained priority in the last few years. However, several challenges have led students to resist it. Predicting students’ attitudes towards online learning could assist educators and educational institutions in addressing these challenges and enhancing its effectiveness. This paper presents a Learning Attitude Prediction Model (LAPM) that can detect students’ attitudes from their informal Arabic texts. To generate the desired LAPM, five machine learning algorithms and three different approaches for text representation are employed. In addition, handling stop words is another important issue when dealing with informal Arabic text. Two scenarios are commonly adopted: preserving and eliminating stop words. The best result was obtained when using a support vector machine (SVM) classifier coupled with the term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) approach and preserving stop-words, achieving an F1-score of 85.4%. Therefore, an effective LAPM could be developed to predict students’ attitudes. Using LAPM, educators and educational institutions can monitor students’ attitudes toward online learning and provide personalized support to individual students. Consequently, an enhancement in student satisfaction and an improvement in academic achievement could be achieved.

Published: June 2024

In daily-used family passenger cars, passenger comfort is crucial. Vehicle suspension is a major factor in passenger comfort. A detailed suspension domain knowledge evaluation is necessary. Despite continual comfort technology advances, studies have yet to use bibliometric analysis to track suspension system history and expansion. This study analyzes keywords, citations, h-index, publishing years, journals, affiliations, nations, authors, and review articles in a novel way. Based on Scopus, the analysis is performed in CSV format and incorporated into bibliometric.org's Biblioshiny, VOSviewer, and R-studio apps. The US leads this study, followed by India and Canada. Indian publications are the most prolific. For suspension technology makers, this research may help them discover rivals and predict future trends. This study promotes suspending technology development through educated decision-making, strategic planning, and innovation.
Single-cell Transcriptional Landscape of Temporal Neutrophil Response to Burn Wound in Larval Zebrafish
Authors: Hou Yiran , Khatri Parth , Rindy Julie , Schultz Zachery , Gao Anqi , Chen Zhili , Gibson Angela L F , Huttenlocher Anna , Dinh Huy Q
Published: June 2024

Neutrophils accumulate early in tissue injury. However, the cellular and functional heterogeneity of neutrophils during homeostasis and in response to tissue damage remains unclear. In this study, we use larval zebrafish to understand neutrophil responses to thermal injury. Single-cell transcriptional mapping of myeloid cells during a 3-d time course in burn and control larvae revealed distinct neutrophil subsets and their cell–cell interactions with macrophages across time and conditions. The trajectory formed by three zebrafish neutrophil subsets resembles human neutrophil maturation, with varying transition patterns between conditions. Through ligand–receptor cell–cell interaction analysis, we found that neutrophils communicate more in burns in a pathway and temporal manner. Finally, we identified the correlation between zebrafish myeloid signatures and human burn severity, establishing GPR84+ neutrophils as a potential marker of early innate immune response in burns. This work builds a comparative single-cell transcriptomic framework to identify neutrophil markers of tissue damage using model organisms.
Three new species for the odonatofauna of Piedmont (NW Italy)
Authors: Piretta Lorenza , Soldato Giovanni , Assandri Giacomo
Published: June 2024

Between 2020 and 2023, three new species of Odonates were recorded in Piedmont (NW Italy). Lestes barbarus was observed at an artificial wetland in the Turin Plain in 2021. Even though at least one individual was fresh, we cannot conclude that the species developed at the site. Subsequent visits did not permit to confirm the species. Coenagrion hastulatum was discovered at a peat bog in the NW Alps (Lac Falin, Valle di Viù) in 2023 and here reproduction was confirmed. This population is the fifth to be recorded for the central and western Italian Alps. Trithemis annulata was first recorded in Piedmont in July 2020, and subsequently, the observations of the species in the region rapidly increased, with a total of 66 records relative to 29 sites up to the end of 2023. These are distributed in most of the low-altitude areas of the region. The species was reported mostly in late summer, with only one site where the early spring records suggest successful overwintering. However, this needs further confirmation. The odonate list of Piedmont now accounts for 70 species, representing 73.6% of the taxa reported for Italy, and this makes Piedmont, along with Lombardy, the most odonate-rich region of Italy.

TikTok y comunicación política: pautas de interacción e índice de engagement de candidatos y partidos en una campaña electoral
Authors: Orbegozo-Terradillos Julen , Larrondo Ureta Ainara , Morales i Gras Jordi
Published: June 2024

Introducción: Este estudio examina la influencia de TikTok en la comunicación política durante las elecciones municipales y autonómicas de España en 2023, destacando la importancia de esta plataforma como canal emergente esencial para el engagement político. Lo hace, además, enfocándose en la progresiva “desrelacionalización” de las plataformas digitales, centradas más en el contenido y en el entretenimiento que en las relaciones interpersonales. Metodología: Se utilizaron herramientas informáticas para la captura y la visualización de datos, y Google Colab para escribir y ejecutar scripts en Python. Se emplea una matriz de correlaciones para analizar las variables de engagement de 65 cuentas y determinar la fuerza y dirección de las relaciones entre ellas. Por otro lado, se aplica una fórmula novedosa para calcular el Engagement Rate, pilar de la investigación y métrica que permite observar el fenómeno a través de variables como comentarios, “me gusta”, visualizaciones, número de seguidores y número de publicaciones. Resultados: Se infieren los datos generales (presencia, actividad, interactividad, interacción positiva, visualización y difusión de contenidos), la distribución temporal de posts, el Engament Rate y la correlación de métricas. Se obtiene una perspectiva general de patrones de actividad e interactividad de partidos, candidatos y usuarios de la red social, hallando variaciones significativas en el engagement. Discusión y conclusiones: El estudio destaca cómo TikTok contribuye a remodelar la comunicación política, sustentando ésta en nuevos parámetros de éxito, dependientes de estrategias digitales y de la adaptación al algoritmo, más que de factores tradicionales. El alto engagement de ciertos partidos no obtiene reflejo en términos de éxito electoral, apuntando más bien hacia una evolución en la línea del politaintment y el consumo masivo de contenidos.
$\text{TT}^{\Box}_{\mathcal C}$: a Family of Extensional Type Theories with Effectful Realizers of Continuity
Authors: Cohen Liron , Rahli Vincent
Published: June 2024

$\text{TT}^{\Box}_{{\mathcal C}}$ is a generic family of effectful,
extensional type theories with a forcing interpretation parameterized by
modalities. This paper identifies a subclass of $\text{TT}^{\Box}_{{\mathcal
C}}$ theories that internally realizes continuity principles through stateful
computations, such as reference cells. The principle of continuity is a seminal
property that holds for a number of intuitionistic theories such as System T.
Roughly speaking, it states that functions on real numbers only need
approximations of these numbers to compute. Generally, continuity principles
have been justified using semantical arguments, but it is known that the
modulus of continuity of functions can be computed using effectful computations
such as exceptions or reference cells. In this paper, the modulus of continuity
of the functionals on the Baire space is directly computed using the stateful
computations enabled internally in the theory.
AMID THE THREAT OF CYBERCRIME
Authors: Tandana Ester Agustini
Published: June 2024

Online romance scams have emerged as a pervasive and emotionally devastating form of fraud in the digital age. These scams exploit individuals emotionally, financially, and psychologically, leaving victims traumatized and financially crippled. Online romance scams involve perpetrators assuming false identities to establish fake romantic relationships with unsuspecting individuals, ultimately leading to financial exploitation. This research delves into the concept of pastoral care as a holistic approach to mitigating the risk of online romance scams and supporting victims. Online romance scams represent a modern challenge with profound emotional and financial consequences. Internet love scams are a sort of organized crime that takes place on the internet. It may be viewed as a crime involving a deliberate breach of the law using deceit in order to obtain monetary advantage from specific victims. Many examples of Internet love scams go undetected. Pastoral care, with its holistic approach, offers a promising avenue for prevention and support. By addressing emotional, psychological, spiritual, and financial aspects, pastoral care can empower individuals and communities to guard against these scams and provide much-needed solace and recovery for victims. Additionally, the impact of pastoral care contributes to the resilience of communities in the face of this evolving threat.

The findings provide valuable insights into the relationship between a good name, ethical behavior, and the prevalence of corruption in Indonesia. The study emphasizes the importance of fostering a culture of integrity, accountability, and transparency to effectively combat corruption. It also offers recommendations and strategies for individuals, institutions, and policymakers to promote and uphold a good name in the Indonesian context, to reduce corruption and its detrimental effects on society. This study contributes to the existing literature on corruption and ethics by examining the significance of a good name in addressing corruption behavior in Indonesia. It serves as a foundation for further research, policy development, and initiatives aimed at promoting integrity and combating corruption in the country.
Theology of John of Damascus on The Antichrist in the Eighth-Century Orthodox Church
Authors: Tanasyah Yusak , Laoh Gerald Frederico John , Pinem Bebas , Repi Robby Robert
Published: June 2024

This study explores the theology of John of Damascus on the Antichrist within the context of the Eighth-Century Orthodox Church. Addressing a gap in existing scholarship, this research provides a comprehensive analysis of John of Damascus's eschatological views, particularly his depiction of the Antichrist, and examines their theological, historical, and cultural implications. Employing a historical-theological method, the research involves a detailed textual analysis of John of Damascus's works, contextualization within the Byzantine era, comparative analysis with contemporary and preceding theologians, and interpretation through theological frameworks. The study reveals that John of Damascus articulated a clear and systematic portrayal of the Antichrist, integrating it within his broader eschatological framework. His views were shaped by the historical and political milieu of the Eighth Century, notably the rise of Islam and internal theological disputes within Byzantium. John of Damascus emphasized the Antichrist as a significant heretical threat, advocating for vigilance and steadfastness in faith among the Christian faithful. His teachings were deeply woven into Orthodox doctrine, reinforcing the eventual triumph of Christ and the necessity of maintaining orthodox beliefs against heretical challenges. The findings underscore the lasting impact of John of Damascus's theology on the Antichrist in the Orthodox tradition, influencing subsequent theological developments and the Church's understanding of end-time events. This study highlights the importance of his eschatological perspectives, demonstrating how they were both reflective of and responsive to the theological and historical challenges of his time.

O plantio de ervas medicinais em peridomicílio é comum na zona urbana de várias cidades brasileiras. Elas são utilizadas como importante recurso terapêutico, sendo investigadas por meio de pesquisas etnobotânicas que auxiliam no resgate do patrimônio natural e cultural de determinada comunidade, bem como na promoção do uso racional na terapia adjuvante de várias doenças. No entanto, devido aos seus efeitos adversos, as mesmas não devem ser utilizadas de forma indiscriminada pela população. Assim, este estudo teve como principal objetivo identificar as plantas medicinais cultivadas e utilizadas nos peridomicílios no território Karajá I, em Palmas/TO, durante o ano de 2022, por meio de uma pesquisa exploratória, de natureza qualitativa. No total, foram citadas 39 espécies de plantas medicinais, tendo-se, portanto, uma média de 03 ervas citadas por cada participante. As oito  ervas mais citadas foram a babosa, hortelã, capim santo, boldo, pariri, alecrim, cidreira e malva do reino, sendo estas citadas cinco vezes ou mais. Os principais motivos para o uso das plantas medicinais foram a influência de tradições familiares e aprendizados sobre as mesmas, a vivência pessoal com problemas de saúde e os benefícios percebidos pelo seu uso em comparação aos medicamentos sintéticos.

O milho é um dos cereais mais cultivados no mundo, sendo a base para a alimentação humana e animal, além de fonte de matéria prima de diversos produtos. Um dos principais entraves para uma maior produtividade é sua alta exigência nutricional, sendo necessária elevada quantidade de adubos minerais, como N, K, Ca, Mg e P. Buscando formas de se aumentar o aproveitamento de nutrientes do solo e estimular o crescimento e produção agrícola, vários estudos tem mostrado a interação benéfica de bactérias do gênero Bacillus, dentre elas o Bacillus subtilis e Bacillus methylotrophicus, que agem em diversos mecanismos na planta produzindo fitormônios reguladores de crescimento, tais como auxina, giberelina e citocinina, além de ser responsável pela solubilização de fosfatos minerais. Desse modo, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos do B. subtilis e B. methylotrophicus usados como bioestimulante na cultura do milho. Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental em blocos casualizados, usando 1 cultivar de milho, a DKB 255 PRO3, e os bioestimulantes foram os produtos Onix® (Bacillus methylotrophicus 1 x 109 UFC/g) e Rizos® (Bacillus subtilis 3 x 109 UFC/mL), totalizando 7 tratamentos: o controle, sem inoculação; inoculação de Onix® na semente (3 mL kg-1 de semente); Onix® na semente (3 mL kg-1 de semente) + aplicação via solo aos 30 dias após emergência (DAE) (1,5 mL L-1); Onix® via solo a cada 15 dias (1,5 mL L-1); Rizos® na semente (3 mL kg-1 de semente); Rizos® na semente (3 mL kg-1 de semente)  + aplicação via solo 30 DAE (0,5 mL L-1) e Rizos® via solo a cada 15 dias iniciando aos 30 DAE (0,5 mL L-1). O experimento foi conduzido em vasos de 10 L em casa de vegetação, com avaliações destrutivas ao 45, 60 e 90 dias. Para as variáveis altura de plantas e número de espigas por planta não houve diferença significativa entre os tratamentos. Em relação à área foliar, comprimento da espiga e diâmetro da espiga, todos os tratamentos usando as diferentes formas de manejo da aplicação de bactérias promotoras do crescimento foram superiores em relação à testemunha. Quanto a massa seca da raiz aos 45, 60 e 90 dias, o uso das bactérias contribuiu significativamente para ter-se um melhor resultado em detrimento ao controle, com destaque para a inoculação de B. subtilis na semente que foi superior às demais. Em relação à produtividade, o tratamento Rizos® via semente + via solo aos 30 dias e Onix® via solo a cada 15 dias obtiveram melhores resultados, e quando comparado ao controle, todos os tratamentos usando os microrganismos tiveram resultados superiores. Conclui-se que o uso dos bioestimulantes B. subtilis e B. methylotrophicus tem potencial para a promoção de um maior crescimento e produção na cultura do milho.

A metanálise, por meio da Revisão Bibliográfica Sistemática, se apresenta como uma metodologia relevante para resgatar o estado da arte de uma determinada temática. Assim, configura uma etapa fundamental da pesquisa exploratória, direcionando os esforços para eventuais lacunas do conhecimento científico. Este trabalho investiga a produção acadêmica sobre as inundações em Juiz de Fora. Após a elaboração de uma Revisão Bibliográfica Sistemática, foi possível identificar 37 publicações que tratam da temática no recorte espacial de interesse. Observa-se uma maior recorrência de abordagens da Engenharia Sanitária e das Geociências através da publicação de artigos em eventos e em revistas, teses de doutorado e dissertações de mestrado. A maior parte das publicações abordam a região central da cidade, expondo que há espaço para que pesquisas abordem bacias localizadas nas demais regiões da cidade. Embora seja observado um amplo uso de modelagens matemáticas, como hidrológicas e hidráulicas, há carência de metodologias que dialoguem e envolvam a população de maneira mais direta. Dessa forma, posto que as inundações persistem, é oportuno questionar em que medida os trabalhos contribuem com a gestão das águas urbanas em Juiz de Fora.

The relevance of social media platforms in our daily lives is intensifying. Social media have become a "showcase" for our life experiences. In addition, they represent a range of dimensions of our status in the virtual and actual social world. These two factors trigger people to construct particular identities to thrive in dual social ecosystems. Subsequently, Tiktok's prominence as a current trending social media platform with a total of 500 million users globally transforms its function from a communication medium to a medium for gaining social capital. This phenomenon notably influences Indonesian society, with people being heavily invested in that platform, and triggered the rise of "influencers" as a popular career choice for the younger generation. Under those circumstances, this phenomenological study explores practical aspects of the identity construction of TikTok influencers on social media. Additionally, the study also analyses the motivations and experiences of the users in constructing their social media identity through impression management to build social capital. Eleven TikTok influencers were involved in this study as the key informants. The findings indicated that TikTok is socially tempting for building the users' social capital because of its high viral opportunity due to randomly generated algorithms. Moreover, the significance of viewer engagement for TikTok influencers compels them to create their most pleasing online impression for the sake of digital popularity. Therefore, popularity is regarded as both a gift and a social pressure.
