Authors: Yang Li , Chen Lu , Chen Jie , Liu Yuanzhang , Liu Chunmei , Yang Xuelin , Chen Xiaoyan
Published: November 2024

Background: Postoperative prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) in patients with heart valve disease (HVD) is usually concomitant with poor prognosis. Its relationship with preoperative nutritional status still remains unclear. The present study intends to explore the influence of preoperative controlled nutritional status (CONUT) score on early postoperative outcomes and its predictive role in prolonged MV. Methods: HVD patients receiving cardiac surgeries in our department from January 2022 to December 2023 were retrospectively selected. CONUT score was calculated according to the level of serum albumin, total cholesterol and lymphocyte counts. When the CONUT score was greater than or equal to 3, patients were included in high CONUT group, and the other patients were included in low CONUT score group. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to adjust baseline characteristics. Results: A total of 411 patients were included, of which 129 patients had the preoperative CONUT score greater than or equal to 3 points, accounting for 31.4%. After adjustment at a ratio of 1:2, 103 patients were included in high CONUT group while 206 patients were included in low CONUT group. The incidence of postoperative ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) in high CONUT group was significantly higher than that in low CONUT group (p = 0.039). Length of ICU stay showed up a significant extension in high CONUT group compared with low CONUT group (p = 0.041). Significantly prolonged MV time could be observed in high CONUT group compared with low CONUT group (p = 0.022). The proportion of patients receiving MV over 48 h and 72 h in high CONUT group significantly increased (p = 0.020 and 0.009 respectively) except for MV over 24 h. MV time of all patients was found to be significantly correlated with CONUT score (r = 0.186, p = 0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) for CONUT predicting MV >48 h was 0.625 (p = 0.008), with sensitivity of 0.419 and specificity of 0.808. The AUC for CONUT predicting MV >72 h was 0.691 (p = 0.003), with sensitivity of 0.545 and specificity of 0.801. Conclusions: Preoperative CONUT score had an accurate predictive role of postoperative prolonged MV and early poor prognosis in HVD patients, which deserves much attention to improve clinical outcomes.
Fertility desires and visions of fatherhood: individual preferences of young heterosexual men in Lithuania
Authors: Tretjakova Vaida , Šumskaitė Lina , Šėporaitytė-Vismantė Deimantė
Published: November 2024

Demographic research on fertility has almost exclusively focused on women, however, men’s fertility preferences are equally important to the understanding of the processes and mechanisms that affect fertility. This article analyzes the data from the qualitative study with young (19–34 year old) heterosexual childless Lithuanian men and ex­plores the relationship between fertility desires, visions of fatherhood and perceptions of masculinity. Our results show that independently of whether the study participants have internalized the “male breadwinner” norm, they modelled their fertility desires according to their current financial situation and perceived future income. Their vi­sions of fatherhood were also often framed by the cultural ideal of a man who is strict, tough and is the main family provider. However, the vision of the father who actively participates in childrearing was also common.
Kultūrinis vartojimas ir socioerdvinė diferenciacija Lietuvos didmiesčiuose
Authors: Tereškinas Artūras , Žilys Apolonijus
Published: November 2024

Straipsnyje analizuojamas kultūrinis vartojimas ir jo ypatumai skirtinguose Vilniaus, Kauno ir Klaipėdos gyvenamuosiuose rajonuose. Laikant kultūrinį vartojimą socialinių skirtumų ir socioerdvinių pasidalijimų žymeniu, mėginama išsiaiškinti santykį tarp kultūrinio vartojimo ir jį lemiančių veiksnių. Straipsnyje remiamasi Pierre’o Bourdieu kultūrinio kapitalo sąvoka (1984) ir paskutiniuoju dešimtmečiu plačiai vykstančia teorine diskusija apie homologija, individualizacija ir visaėdiškumu / vienaėdiškumu grįstą kultūrinį vartojimą. Aptarta kultūrinio vartojimo dinamika liudija, kad lyties, išsilavinimo, šeiminės padėties ir etninės kilmės kintamieji stipriai veikia kultūrinį vartojimą. Tačiau kartu vis daugiau vartotojų šiuo metu tampa kultūriniais visaėdžiais (angl. cultural omnivores), kurie plačiai naudojasi tiek aukštosios, tiek populiariosios kultūros gaminiais. Kita vertus, Lietuvos kultūrinio vartojimo žemėlapis Lietuvos miestuose gana diferencijuotas: mažiausiai tiek elitinės, tiek populiariosios kultūros yra linkę vartoti Lietuvos miestų darbininkų klasės gyvenamieji rajonai, tarpinę poziciją užima miestų centrų ir daugiabučių mikrorajonų gyventojai, o didžiausi kultūriniai visaėdžiai yra priemiesčių gyventojai.

Speech Act Strategies of Customer Service Officers of Internet Provider Company in WhatsApp Group Interactions
Authors: Widiana Yuli , Wijayanti Wenny
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the speech act strategies employed by customer service officers (CSO) in an internet provider company while interacting with customers via WhatsApp Group (WAG) chats. The research aims to identify and analyze the types of speech acts used and examine how cultural and digital token factors specific to Javanese communication norms influence these interactions. In 60 days, data was collected from WAG conversations between customer service representatives and clients using the non-participative observation method. Depth interviews were also conducted with the five CSOs. The analysis employed Speech Act Theory and considers the unique context of computer-mediated communication. Results revealed that CSOs frequently utilized commissive speech acts, confirming speech acts, directive speech acts, phatic speech acts, and expressive speech acts with specific purposes. Culturally, the speech acts were employed to maintain harmony and mitigate potential face-threatening situations. The study also highlights how the CSO adapts traditional Javanese communication styles to the digital medium of WhatsApp. Theoretically, these findings contribute to our understanding of cultural pragmatics in professional settings and empirically offer insights for training customer service personnel in culturally diverse contexts. Furthermore, the research underscores the importance of considering cultural nuances in developing effective communication strategies for digital customer service platforms.
IMPACT OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES AND TOOLS
ON CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS
Authors: Morales-Rodríguez Francisco Manuel
Published: November 2024

The conference paper fi rstly encompassed a theoretical analysis
of the main models from psychology and recent studies that show the impact
of digital technologies in terms of their advantages, disadvantages and
the appropriate pedagogical use in the school, family and socio-educational
context. Some data related to an empirical study carried out by the author of
this work have also been presented. This study addresses the impact of digital
technologies on children and adolescents, especially with regards to their
attitudes towards the use of the mentioned technologies, for the improvement
of teaching and learning process within Spanish educational context.
Amongst the results, the motivational factor and the considerable usefulness
of these technologies in teaching and learning process can be highlighted if
they have an appropriate pedagogical objective that is adapted to each agegroup’s
cognitive requirements. Additionally, the importance of the playful
element of this type of technology based on images and not only on words
for educational purposes, and other potential uses such as the didactic focus
of different computer applications, must also be highlighted. Moreover, the
results show that these technologies can be used for all kinds of diversities in
one way or another, to educate in values and to contribute into a better coexistence.
Finally, from a refl ective position, some suggestions and recommendations
have been made with the aim of supporting psychoeducational guidance
and intervention to prevent and treat possible digital risks, such as the
ones associated with technology addiction within the educational and family
context. Great attention must be paid so that such risks are not increased by
the use of these digital technologies, especially at that stage of development
in which the executive functions are still developing.
NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL INTERVENTION
IN DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS
Authors: González María Alejandra Morales
Published: November 2024

There is an increase of children identifi ed with developmental
disorders, which is why it is necessary to have knowledge of the neuropsychological
and cultural-historical psychological approach, which will allow
the specialist to approach the cause of different alterations, expand the diagnostic
possibilities and to create intervention programmes. The neuropsychological
diagnosis obtained from a qualitative analysis makes it possible
for the neuropsychological assessment to consider not only the causes of the
clinical picture but also to determine the objectives and methods for neuropsychological
correction. One of the main challenges of child neuropsychology
consists in elaborating and not selecting the methods of intervention
(Solovieva and Quintanar, ). The remediation and teaching programmes
are personalized, as they are aimed at functional integration of weak neuropsychological
mechanisms by relying on strong mechanisms. The programme
contains a particular sequence of stages, in the initial phase the objectives to
be developed through the different tasks are explained to the parents, the
work agreement is presented and rapport with the child is established. In
each of the stages, the child’s motivation, desire and willingness to work on
different activities is guaranteed. During the therapy sessions, neuropsychologist
provides the child with the necessary physical and verbal guidance. The
participation of the family and the social context is fundamental throughout
the process of neuropsychological correction, with the objective of improving
the child’s quality of life and his or her integral development.

Black and White: Retrieving Our Shadow
Authors: Capitolo Tessamarie
Published: November 2024

The hope of the writer is to effect a change in the reader, who the writer assumes is probably a white sandplay therapist. This effect could change the consciousness of the living psyche. "It is the fundamental law of the psyche that if the shadow is not found in the symbol, it must be found somewhere else." Symbols are ambivalent, but hold the power of the projections that are placed on them. Black and white miniatures hold the polarity of the good and the bad, the dark and the light. The author regrets that these projections have been placed on people throughout our history. The therapeutic CO-transference in the sandplay process is affected by awareness of these issues. The author provides examples of cases that show the black/white interface the healing and integration, through confrontation with the shadow.
Fairy Tale Symbolism Applied to Sandplay
Authors: Johnson Donna M.
Published: November 2024

An interpretation of the Grimms fairy tale "The Skillful Huntsman" is interwoven with sandplay case examples to illustrate the various psychological stages portrayed in the tale. It is a tale of a man's journey and that of his anima, a woman's journey and that of her animus and the journey that both man and woman must travel in order to unite fully as whole personalities. Through the interpretation various Jungian concepts are explained: puer aeternus, hero, anima/animus, trickster, logos, eros senex and conjunction. Symbols that are explored include: forest, giants, tower, castle sword, king, and hut. Case examples are that of an 11-year-old boy with an eating disorder, a 34-year-old woman shifting form domination by patriarchal values to an internal transformation, a 16-year-old depressed girl, a 50-year-old woman retreating to introversion for healing, and a 44-year-old woman at the culmination of her process.

Sand Crab Comes Home
Authors: McKenzie John
Published: November 2024

Sometimes we must reclaim what we gave up as a child. This personal reflection shines a very positive light on the unity adults have with play and the play of imagination of the child. The author recounts how his observation of elementary school children and what they did best, that is play, brought him back to memories of sand play in his youth on the beach at Waikiki where the beach boys called him, "sand crab." With potential student learning in mind, he concludes this personal reflection with a serious call for play in schools, not as the dessert but rather the main entrée of learning.

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has evolved to incorporate sophisticated systems capable of recognizing and responding to user emotions, enhancing the user experience by making interactions more intuitive and engaging. This paper explores the development of adaptive HCI systems utilizing Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) neural networks for emotion recognition and response prediction. The core objective is to create interfaces that dynamically adjust based on the user's emotional state, thereby improving usability and satisfaction across various applications, including healthcare, education, and customer service. GRU-based models are particularly effective for this task due to their ability to handle sequential data and capture temporal dependencies inherent in emotional expressions. By processing multimodal inputs such as facial expressions, voice intonations, text, and physiological signals, these systems can accurately detect and predict emotions in real-time. The DEAP dataset, which includes EEG and other physiological recordings along with self-assessed emotional ratings, serves as a foundational resource for training and validating these models. The proposed approach involves pre-processing the physiological data using techniques like min-max normalization to ensure consistency and stability during model training. The GRU models then learn to map these inputs to corresponding emotional states, leveraging their memory capabilities to retain and interpret temporal patterns. The adaptive nature of these systems enables them to provide personalized responses, such as adjusting the interface layout or offering support when negative emotions are detected. The implementation of GRU-based emotion recognition and response prediction in HCI systems holds significant potential for enhancing user interactions by making them more responsive and emotionally intelligent. This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of GRU models in real-time emotion monitoring and highlights their applications in creating more adaptive and empathetic technology interfaces. The proposed model is implemented in Python and has an accuracy of about 99.12% which is higher than other existing methods. Keywords: Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), Neural Networks, Emotional Detection.
Factores ecofisiológicos causantes de la aparición de agobio en banano (Musa AAA) indicar el cultivar en la zona de Urabá, Antioquia
Authors: Duarte Holguín Yanely , Palacios Zapata Franklin , Valencia Arbeláez Julián Andrés
Published: November 2024

El banano, al igual que otras plantas, es dependiente de factores climáticos como temperatura, humedad, precipitación y brillo solar, afectando la duración de las etapas vegetativas y reproductivas. Actualmente, el cultivo enfrenta desafíos asociados a estrés biótico y abiótico, entre estos, el “agobio”, responsable de la pérdida foliar, caracterizado por el doblamiento del peciolo sin manipulación externa. Se realizaron evaluaciones en campo y condiciones semicontroladas, estableciendo 6 tratamientos de láminas de riego diferenciadas. Se midió la incidencia de “agobio” y su relación con temperatura, precipitación y humedad del suelo. Se concluyó que amplitudes térmicas (ΔT) superiores a 8 °C durante las últimas 48 horas, aumenta la probabilidad de agobio.
Estimación de la diferenciación meristemática en banano (Musa AAA) a partir del cálculo del área foliar
Authors: Martínez Acosta Ana María , Cayón Salinas Daniel Gerardo , Darghan Contreras Enrique
Published: November 2024

La diferenciación meristemática es crucial en la formación de los componentes del rendimiento en banano, una fase en el desarrollo poco evidente. Se propuso generar un indicador basado en el área de la sección transversal del seudotallo para estimar el área foliar y asociarlo con la etapa fenológica. A través de este enfoque, se construyó un modelo que sigue el desarrollo del área foliar y vincula la emisión de la hoja número 12 con la diferenciación del meristemo en el banano. Este método ofrece una aproximación valiosa para determinar la fase fenológica (vegetativa o reproductiva) en la planta, lo que puede ser fundamental en la optimización del manejo del cultivo.

Published: November 2024

BLSD is the main challenge in the banana industry since the control of this fungal disease is crucial for banana exportation. In most countries, BLSD control relies on weekly applications of contact fungicides as mancozeb. Regulatory limitations of dithiocarbamates in the EU might soon block the use of this fungicide. Here we have evaluated new strategies excluding mancozeb in humid areas of Ivory Coast where fungicide resistance to most systemic fungicides is established. This strategy relies on weekly observations of biological disease parameters to inform decisions and on a wider use of mineral oil and fungicides from the SBI group 2. This strategy is better in terms of environmental performance and as performant for disease control as the conventional strategy based on mancozeb.
Ecofeminism: Women's Resistance to the Development of a Geothermal Power Plant Project in Padarincang, Serang Regency
Authors: Sulistiani Selvi , Indriyany Ika Arinia
Published: November 2024

This article examines the women's resistance movement in Padarincang District, Serang Regency, against the development of a Geothermal Power Plant, analyzed through an ecofeminist perspective. As human dependence on energy grows, there is increasing pressure to find alternative energy sources, such as geothermal energy, to meet daily needs. The proposed Geothermal Power Plant in Padarincang is part of Indonesia’s commitment to achieving Net Zero Emissions (NZE). However, local resistance emerged due to concerns over the potential economic and environmental impacts of the project. Using qualitative research methods and a case study approach, this study explores how women in Padarincang District contributed to the ecological movement. The findings reveal that the rejection stemmed from a lack of community engagement and socialization about the development, leading to fears of environmental degradation. Many locals did not understand that geothermal energy could offer new opportunities for renewable energy. The resistance, particularly from women, gave rise to an ecofeminist movement addressing these environmental issues. This research contributes to the literature on the intersection of gender and environmental concerns, particularly by highlighting the role of women in such movements.

Financial institutions face increasing challenges related to information security due to the intensification of cyber attacks, particularly threats such as malware and ransomware. This study aims to critically analyze these risks and evaluate the effectiveness of current technological tools and current regulations in preserving the supervision and confidentiality of digital financial systems. To this end, we adopted an exploratory and qualitative approach, based on a comprehensive literature review. Research has revealed that the adoption of artificial intelligence, especially through neural networks and machine learning algorithms, has proven effective in identifying attacks and containing malicious behavior in real time. Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS), combined with multifactor authentication protocols and biometric technologies, have brought benefits to the identity verification and fraud protection process. It is concluded that effectively combating malware attacks requires the adoption of advanced security mechanisms, such as machine learning, multifactor authentication and blockchain, integrated with artificial intelligence. This combination enables rapid detection and response to suspicious behavior, strengthening data protection in digital financial institutions.

A transposição das grandes artérias (TGA) é uma malformação cardíaca congênita onde a aorta e a artéria pulmonar estão trocadas, resultando em circulação inadequada do sangue. O procedimento de Jatene, ou correção arterial switch, repara essa condição ao reposicionar a aorta e a artéria pulmonar. Isso restaura o fluxo sanguíneo normal e permite que o sangue oxigenado seja distribuído ao corpo e o sangue desoxigenado, aos pulmões, de forma eficaz.

Yamaguchi Syndrome is a subtype of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy characterized by hypertrophy in the left ventricular apex. It is a rare syndrome in Brazil, being commonly found in Japan. It has a wide clinical spectrum, ranging from asymptomatic patients to sudden death. Diagnosis is elucidated through changes in the electrocardiogram and echocardiogram, with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging being the most specific exam. The initial treatment is clinical, and may be extended to surgical procedures if refractory to drug management. This study aims to present a clinical case of Yamaguchi Syndrome in a patient in the state of Ceará, emphasizing the importance of including the syndrome in the differential diagnosis of symptoms with chest pain, dyspnea and palpitations.

INTRODUÇÃO: A pneumonia é definida como uma infecção respiratória aguda que acomete o parênquima pulmonar, principalmente em populações mais vulneráveis, como crianças e idosos. Caracteriza-se por ser uma das principais causas de morte infantil em todo o mundo.  A cada ano, mais de 725.000 crianças menores de cinco anos morrem de pneumonia, das quais 190.000 são recém-nascidos.1 Considerando a relevância epidemiológica da pneumonia viral no contexto pediátrico e a escassez de estudos que a abordam do ponto de vista integrativo, é fundamental a realização de novas pesquisas que apontem para uma visão mais interdisciplinar a fim de se ter uma melhor compreensão dessa doença.8 OBJETIVO: Analisar as características da pneumonia viral em crianças de forma interdisciplinar. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Trata-se de uma revisão da literatura. Foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica consultando as bases de dados indexadas: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline), Google Scholar, Scopus e Web of Science, no período de setembro a outubro de 2024. RESULTADOS: Com base na análise de estudos publicados sobre casos de pneumonia viral em crianças, foi possível identificar diversidade em termos de manifestações clínicas, patológicas e fisiopatológicas, bem como no tratamento.12 Os achados sugerem que o bom manejo da pneumonia viral está diretamente relacionado à integração de conhecimentos e a uma abordagem interdisciplinar que o profissional médico deve utilizar ao avaliar, diagnosticar, tratar, prevenir complicações e gerenciar epidemiologicamente a incidência de casos.8 CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS: Apesar dos inúmeros estudos publicados sobre pneumonia viral em crianças, especialmente no contexto da pandemia pós-COVID-19, ainda é necessário ampliar as abordagens científicas sobre o tema, especialmente à luz de uma perspectiva interdisciplinar que inclui: fisiopatologia, anatomia patológica, semiologia médica, farmacologia, medicina legal e gestão em saúde,  a fim de integrar conhecimentos diversos.

Published: November 2024

Neuroendocrine regulation plays a pivotal role in orchestrating various physiological processes in organisms. The neuroendocrine system is a complex, multifaceted process that acts as a resource distributor in the body, monitoring and regulating a variety of physiological functions like metabolism, reproduction, stress response, and immunity by using complicated signaling pathways and sophisticated feedback mechanisms that use hormones, neurotransmitters, and neural circuits. This study aims to investigate the intricate mechanisms by which neuroendocrine signals modulate physiological functions. Adjuvant neuroendocrine strategies such as the use of neurotransmitters, hormones, pharmacotherapy, surgical intervention, and emerging technologies play an invaluable role in alleviating symptoms and improving outlooks for people suffering from these conditions. Through a comprehensive review of current literature, we explore the role of neuroendocrine pathways in regulating processes such as metabolism, reproduction, stress response, and immune function. We highlight the involvement of key neuroendocrine factors such as hormones, neuropeptides, and neurotransmitters in modulating these physiological processes. Additionally, authors discuss emerging research avenues and potential clinical implications of understanding neuroendocrine regulation in health and disease.

Fourier analysis for biological signals is based on the use of the infinite sum of sines and cosines that allows
modeling: the periodic functioning of the heart, its amplitude, frequency, and phase period, transforming
these signals into images called ECG, based on studies and programs that model the ideal functioning of the
heart. In this work, a mathematical algorithm has been designed to predict the cardiac pathology called bradycardia, which relates the prolongation of the monthly QT interval in the order of 10-4 seconds/month in a
time of 10 years with the ventricular alteration. MATLAB software and spectral analysis are used to contrast
the spectrum without pathology, which contains harmonics of greater amplitude, with a spectrum already
with pathology that reaches heart failure, where the most significant number of harmonics are grouped in
the first values, and then the model with an exponential function the delay of the QT interval in the ECG,
concluding that up to 40 months after the onset of the pathology, the patient can counteract the disease. In
comparison, by 80 months, difficulties arise, even the disease becomes irreversible in the last months, and
the blood-propelling organ ceases to function.
