Published: August 2024

Introduction: Ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor that forms in the ovaries which are part of the female reproductive system. Ovarian cancer is sometimes referred to as the "silent killer" as, until it reaches an advanced stage, it may not exhibit any signs. Ovarian cancers remain amongst the top ten commonest causes of death due to gynaecological cancers.
Aim: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the awareness of symptoms, risk factors, diagnostic tests, treatment options and areas of spread of ovarian cancer amongst post-menopausal women.
Materials and method: This is an observational study in which 203 postmenopausal women of nonmedical professions were included through purposive sampling. The sample size was calculated with the help of latest version of SPSS Software. Data was gathered with the help of a self-structured questionnaire with a particular focus on risk factors, symptoms, treatment options, diagnostic tests and areas of spread of ovarian cancer.
Result: Of 203 women, 31.03% reported awareness of various domains of the questionnaire about ovarian cancer, whereas there was a lack of awareness seen in 68.97% women.
Conclusion: We can conclude from this study that the general female community had very low awareness regarding the symptoms, risk factors, areas of spread, diagnostic tests and treatment options related to ovarian cancer.

Authors: C. H. Nwankwo, , I. C. A. Oyeka, , A. A. Onyioha, , C. Efobi,
Published: August 2024

The Three Period Crossover Phased Diagnostic Screening Test is a test design aimed at evaluating consistency of clinical performance of clinicians; this process involves repeated measurements of a clinical search for a disease or medical condition of interest. The repeated nature of the test is to enable calculation of performance errors. This process is phased in such a way that previous trials do not influence the outcome or outcomes of subsequent phase(s). Processes of computing probabilities of various possible sequences of outcomes, positive or negative, for the assessment of clinicians’ consistency were developed and presented. Its functionality was demonstrated with an illustrative example. The beauty of the Three Period Crossover Phased Diagnostic Screening Test is that no matter the order the three clinicians carry out the phased diagnostic tests, the probability of positive outcomes by any chosen clinician or the probability of negative outcomes of any chosen clinician can still be calculated accurately.

Published: August 2024

In the tourism industry, effective communication is essential, and accurate translation of public signs plays a significant role in providing information to domestic and foreign visitors. However, in translation studies, few scholars divide tourism public signs into equivalent types. This paper aims to solve this gap by analyzing the translation of tourism public signs in Xuzhou, China. To explore this, an empirical research approach was adopted, including the collection of photographs of public sign translations and their subsequent analysis. This study makes an in-depth analysis of the translation of public signs in Xuzhou, including their content and language. The researcher examined the strategies used by translators to ensure the accuracy and cultural appropriateness of their translations and assessed their effectiveness in conveying the intended meaning to visitors. The results show that the application ratio of Functional Equivalence is the highest. These special translations are usually carried out by translators with varying degrees of English proficiency, who rely on available language resources to achieve their communicative goals. In addition, the advantages and limitations of functional equivalence are discussed. It is suggested based on this situation that translation of public signs in tourism should be completed by translators with rich knowledge of both Chinese and English.

Published: August 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented humanitarian, social, and health disaster. In its aftermath, countries and organizations are striving to transform and acquire 21st-century skills to adapt to the current era. Organizational change has thus become crucial not only for sustainable development but also to survive crises. Consequently, this study investigates the critical factors affecting employees’ resistance to organizational change in Oman's Ministry of Higher Education, Research, and Innovation (MOHERI). Using Lewin's Change Management Model as the theoretical framework, survey data was collected from 344 MOHERI employees and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The findings indicate that leadership and SMART quality service significantly influence resistance to change. Additionally, it is revealed that organizational practices play vital roles in shaping employees' attitudes toward change, whereas employees’ talent and knowledge moderate their resistance towards change. By providing empirical evidence on the elements that influence successful organizational transformation in Oman's public sector, this study provides policymakers, managers, and the Omani government with a better understanding of this phenomenon, enabling them to design more effective change strategies and policies. The study also adds value to the organizational change literature, offering directions for future research to focus on these crucial factors for successful change.

Introdução
Authors: Hunold Lara Silvia
Published: August 2024

O tema que preside o dossiê desta nova edição da Revista História Social pode parecer corriqueiro para muitos, mas não é. Durante muito tempo, o racismo foi um objeto das ciências sociais e, sob a rubrica das “relações raciais” ou da “questão negra”, diversos estudos sobre o assunto foram realizados pela antropologia e pela sociologia. Os historiadores ficaram relativamente de fora do debate, salvo por algumas incursões na área da história intelectual e das ideias. Talvez o fato possa ser explicado pela intensa politização do tema, geralmente relacionado à necessidade de se responder questões candentes sobre as características da sociedadebrasileira ou de relacionar a natureza das relações sociais no Brasil ao desenvolvimento do país. Enquanto os historiadores preocupavam-se mais com o processo de formação dessa sociedade, os estudiosos de outras áreas lidavam com temas candentes e aparentemente mais próximos dos dilemas sociais.
O 13 de maio e as celebrações da liberdade, Bahia, 1888-1893
Authors: Fraga Filho Walter
Published: August 2024

Este artigo tem o propósito de refletir sobre as celebrações do fim da escravidão na Bahia entre 1888 e 1893. A ideia é ver de que maneira os festejos daqueles dias inserem-se no contexto dos embates e das expectativas nascidas no curso das lutas contra a escravidão. O fim do cativeiro representou uma notável vitória contra setores da sociedade baiana que defendiam a protelaçãodo processo de abolição. Mas também a festa aconteceu em meio a muita expectativa sobre as transformações que deveriam seguir o fim do cativeiro. Veremos que no calor dos festejos pela aprovação da lei Áurea e nos anos que se seguiram àquele episódio definiram-se campos de disputa em torno da memória da abolição.
O Juízo dos Órfãos e a organização da família por meio da tutela
Authors: Silva Cardozo José Carlos da
Published: August 2024

Muitas histórias chegaram ao conhecimento da Justiça, nas quais doenças, maus-tratos, incapacidade dos pais e, até mesmo, a morte dos progenitores provocavam a dissolução familiar. Para essas famílias, integradas também por menores, havia o Juízo dos Órfãos, instituição que zelava pelo direito e deveres para com essas crianças e cuidava para que os menores que, porventura, passassem pela situação de desagregação familiar, recebessem um adulto legalmente constituído como responsável – um tutor. Contudo, a situação de tutelado estava longe de trazer plena segurança e tranquilidade para muitos menores em constante risco de entrarem em circulação por algum problema advindo a seu tutor.

Ouvidos moucos
Authors: Mueller Helena Isabel
Published: August 2024

A proposta do presente trabalho é repensar a inserção social do discurso anarquista, chamando a atenção para o fato de que ele tem sido rebaixado a uma fala que produz mero ruído, sem significado ou interesse para a comunidade. A algaravia que ele produz vem da radicalidade de sua proposta, que está centrada na negação do poder em todas as suas formas possíveis e imaginárias, rompendo, portanto, com a lógica política das relações sociais. A discussão está pensada a partir de Jacques Rancière em sua abordagem sobre política.

Published: August 2024

Diabetes is a chronic condition that causes insulin production problems and excessive blood sugar. Patients who cannot control their sugar are more susceptible to infection. The objective of this study is to explore the phytochemical contents, α-glucosidase inhibitory effects, and immune stimulation of three Trang peppercorn (Piper nigrum Linn.): black (BP), red (RP), and white (WP). The study uses DI water as a solvent and employs MAE at 500 and 300 Watts (W) of power, with extraction times of 30 and 50 seconds (sec), respectively. The MAE extracts made with 500 W of power for 30 sec had higher amounts of extraction yields (%), TPC, TFC, piperine (%), fatty acids, and α-glucosidase inhibitory than the extracts made with 300 W of power for 50 sec (p < 0.05). The BP and WP extract exhibited the highest inhibitory effects against baker's yeast and maltase α-glucosidase with IC50 values of 2.09±0.75 mg/mL and 1.70±0.05 mg/mL, respectively, while the RP extracts showed an inhibitory effect against sucrase with an IC50 value of 3.02±0.04 mg/mL. Interestingly, the BP, RP, and WB extracts with 500 W for 30 sec and 300 W for 50 sec at a concentration range of 1.00-200 µg/mL can stimulate the macrophage cell's process of taking up foreign substances and increase the creation of NO. This study revealed that MAE promotes Trang peppercorn phytochemical yields and biological activities, which may be used to make traditional diabetic medication and boost the immune system.

Screening data de carteles como evidencia bajo la jurisprudencia de la Unión Europea
Authors: Montero Bastías Diego
Published: August 2024

Este trabajo desarrolla en profundidad temas relacionados con el uso de data screening como evidencia en casos de investigación de carteles bajo la jurisprudencia de la Unión Europea. El análisis de estos aspectos, referidos al uso de resultados de screening como evidencia, descansa en la revisión de jurisprudencia Europea, la que permite arrojar cierta luz sobre los principios aplicables a este tipo de casos. La primera parte del trabajo analiza, en general, los diferentes métodos de detección de carteles. A continuación, específicamente respecto al data screening, se estudia su adopción por parte de agencias de competencia de distintas jurisdicciones. Luego, la revisión se centra en las diferentes categorías y tipos de screening de carteles, que se encuentran en la literatura especializada, así como en el estudio doctrinario de los distintos beneficios de su uso como herramienta de detección y la identificación de sus principales dificultades. Finalmente, se revisan los casos de la Unión Europea relevantes para la construcción de un estándar correcto para la ejecución de allanamientos, cuando la decisión se ha fundado en los resultados de data screening, así como el adecuado análisis de los resultados indicados anteriormente para la determinación de una infracción al artículo 101 del Tratado de Funcionamiento de la Unión Europea

Published: August 2024

A ansiedade é um transtorno comum em adolescentes que pode afetar negativamente seu desenvolvimento e qualidade de vida. Esta revisão integrativa examina a eficácia das intervenções psicoterapêuticas no tratamento da ansiedade em adolescentes, focando nas abordagens mais estudadas: Terapia Cognitivo-Comportamental (TCC), Terapia de Aceitação e Compromisso (ACT) e Terapia Dialético-Comportamental (DBT). Foram analisados estudos experimentais, quase-experimentais, revisões sistemáticas e meta-análises publicados até agosto de 2024. A TCC demonstrou uma redução significativa dos sintomas de ansiedade e melhora na funcionalidade, sendo a abordagem mais evidenciada. A ACT também mostrou eficácia, especialmente em promover a aceitação das emoções e o comprometimento com valores pessoais, enquanto a DBT se destacou na regulação emocional e tolerância ao estresse. Embora a TCC continue sendo a abordagem mais fundamentada, ACT e DBT oferecem alternativas valiosas para casos específicos. A personalização do tratamento é essencial para atender às necessidades individuais dos adolescentes, e a continuidade da pesquisa é necessária para otimizar as estratégias terapêuticas e integrar diferentes abordagens de forma eficaz.

A avaliação do risco cardiovascular em pacientes com diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) é crucial para a prevenção e manejo eficaz das complicações cardiovasculares associadas. Tradicionalmente, a estratificação de risco tem dependido de fatores clínicos como hipertensão e dislipidemia. No entanto, a emergência de novos biomarcadores tem potencial para refinar a avaliação de risco, oferecendo uma visão mais detalhada dos processos patológicos subjacentes. Esta revisão integrativa visa explorar a eficácia e a aplicabilidade de biomarcadores emergentes na avaliação do risco cardiovascular em pacientes com DM2. Foram incluídos estudos publicados entre 2000 e 2023, que investigaram biomarcadores inflamatórios, de estresse oxidativo, microRNAs e peptídeos natriuréticos. A revisão revelou que biomarcadores como a proteína C-reativa, o malondialdeído, microRNAs específicos e peptídeos natriuréticos estão associados a um aumento significativo do risco cardiovascular em pacientes com DM2. A análise destacou que, embora esses biomarcadores ofereçam vantagens sobre os métodos tradicionais, como maior sensibilidade e especificidade na identificação de pacientes em risco, ainda são necessários mais estudos para validar sua utilidade clínica e custo-benefício. A integração desses biomarcadores na prática clínica pode aprimorar a personalização do tratamento e a eficácia da prevenção, representando um avanço significativo na gestão do risco cardiovascular em pacientes com DM2.

Artikel ini mengkaji pengalaman yang membangun budaya kelas di salah satu kelas seni bahasa kelas enam dan negosiasi serta respons remaja perempuan terhadap pengalaman mereka sebagai anggota kelas. Sepanjang tahun, data dikumpulkan melalui observasi kelas, rekaman video bulanan kelas, wawancara dengan gadis-gadis tersebut ketika mereka melihat partisipasi mereka di kelas, dan wawancara dengan guru. Tema-tema yang muncul berdasarkan analisis observasi dan wawancara dengan gadis-gadis tersebut mencakup persepsi mereka tentang pengalaman seni bahasa, perasaan mereka sebagai siswa, sikap baik, dan kebosanan serta pelepasan diri. Temuan mengungkapkan budaya kelas yang terutama didasarkan pada prosedur di mana tujuan pembelajaran literasi berpusat pada keterampilan yang diperlukan untuk ujian yang diamanatkan negara. Tanggapan anak-anak perempuan terhadap budaya kelas ini menunjukkan bahwa mereka mengadopsi orientasi literasi yang serupa dengan guru mereka, bahkan ketika mereka menyatakan keinginan untuk kurikulum yang lebih bermakna secara pribadi. Mereka sering merasa bosan dan mengembangkan cara untuk mengelola ketidakterlibatan mereka untuk menghindari masalah dengan guru. Implikasi untuk penelitian yang sedang berlangsung dibahas
