ROLE OF SONOGRAPHY IN CHARACTERIZATION OF THYROID NODULES FOR DIFFERENTIATING BENIGN FROM MALIGNANT
Authors: Devasia Alex , S Abhishek
Published: April 2023

Background: Thyroid nodules are a common entity found in about 4-8% of adults by palpation, 41% by
ultrasound and 50% at autopsy according to studies done. A minority of these, less than 5% are
malignant. Ultrasound has over the decades played an important role in the diagnostic evaluation of thyroid disease mainly
because of the gland's supercial location, availability and cost effectiveness of the ultrasound examination. We aimed to use
ultrasonographic criteria to differentiate benign and malignant thyroid nodules and correlate with ne-needle aspiration
cytology (FNAC) ndings. It is a cross-sectional study carried out in 100 patient Settings and Design: s who had undergone
USG for thyroid nodule during March 2021 to December 2021. For the purpose of establishing a diagnosis and validating the
ultrasound results, these cases underwent FNAC. The nodules were surgically removed, and a specimen was sent for
histological analysis to distinguish between follicular adenoma and follicular carcinoma, according to the FNAC diagnosis of
follicular neoplasms. Six of the 100 nodules tested were cytopathologically determined to be maligna Results: nt. The
malignant nodules had a solid or mostly solid composition (sensitivity 100%, specicity 49.5%), absence or thick incomplete
halo (sensitivity 92%, specicity 72.9%), microcalcication (sensitivity 91.7%, specicity 66.7%), a markedly hypoechoic
character (sensitivity 85%, specicity 83.7%), irregular or poorly dened margins (sensitivity 83.3%, specicity 92.5%) and
anteroposterior diameter greater than transverse diameter (sensitivity 65%, specicity 93%). To differentiate Conclusions:
between benign and malignant thyroid nodules, ultrasonography (USG) features are helpful. thyroid tumors It is clear from our
study that the USG ndings of poorly dened margins, noticeable hypo echogenicity, and A taller-than-wider form, a thin or
thick irregular peripheral halo, and microcalcications all have good diagnostic accuracy for recognizing thyroid nodules that
are cancerous

IONIC TO ELECTRONIC TRANSITION CONDUCTIVITY STUDIES OF LITHIUMBORATE RUBY GLASS-CERAMICS CONTAINING GOLD-NANO-PARTICLES
Authors: Y Shivapraksh , M Satish , C. M Dinesh
Published: April 2023

Glass-ceramics containing Au nanoparticles have been synthesized by selecting the base glass with specic composition 30Li2O–70B2O3 - x
HAuCl4.3H2O [LBA] (x=0.01-0.06) all in wt % have been prepared by conventional melt quenching technique. The characteristic ruby color has
been observed which is attributed due to the surface plasmon resonance of the Au nanoparticles uniformly embedded in the glass matrix. The
imparted red color due to the presence of gold nanoparticles has been conrmed by studying the optical absorption spectra using UV-VIS
spectrometer in the visible range (400-1000nm) which show a characteristic absorption peak at ~560nm. In order to check the
crystallization/amorphous nature, the samples were powdered and characterized using XRD. The microstructural modications in the samples due
to the addition of Au have been recorded using SEM. Further, the ESR studies reveal that the electronic state of gold is either Au0 or Au+. AC
conductivity studies have been performed at RT over a frequency range 100 to 10MHz. AC conductivity data is tted by Almond-West law with
power exponent 's'. The dc conductivity is found to be increasing with the increase of temperature for a typical ruby glass, but almost constant with
dopant concentration

MOUNTAIN TOURISM AND LIMINALITY
Authors: Cruz Tiago Harthan , De Almeida António Sérgio Araújo , Pinto Roque
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this work is to assess the origins of tourists and the motivations of mountain tourism in the Highlands of Scotland, with the use of bothies – extremely rustic small houses, usually made of stones, without any urban comfort – as accommodation. Through quantitative and qualitative methodologies, based on questionnaires, interviews and participant observation, were verified the origins and motivations of tourists who stayed on the Scottish bothies from April to June 2015. Data were reviewed in 2020. It was concluded that it is the citizens of small towns who feel the greatest need for social isolation that the mountains offer, seeking to enjoy an isolated and rustic place outside their everyday lives. Considering that there is a relatively limited specific literature on the subject, this work presents itself as a contribution to the subject, even as a subsidy for future investigations related to mountain tourism and experience tourism.

Driven to Snack: Simulated Driving Increases Subsequent Consumption
Authors: van Meer Floor , Murphy Stephen Lee , Hofmann Wilhelm , van Steenbergen Henk , Van Dillen Lotte F.
Published: April 2023

When individuals eat while distracted, they may compensate by consuming more afterwards. Here, we examined the effect of eating while driving, and explored potential underlying mechanisms. Participants (N = 116, 73.3% female) were randomly allocated to complete a driving simulation (distraction condition) or to watch someone else drive (control condition) while consuming 10g (50.8 kcal) of potato chips. Afterwards, participants rated the taste intensity and hedonic experience, reported stress levels, and were then given the opportunity to eat more chips. As hypothesized, participants consumed more chips after the driving simulation. Stress levels were higher in the driving compared to control condition, but were inversely related to consumption amount, ruling out stress as explanatory mechanism. Saltiness ratings differed between the driving and passive viewing condition, only when controlling for stress. The current findings converge with earlier work showing that distracted eating can drive overconsumption, which in turn can lead to long-term health implications.  Limitations, implications and potential directions are discussed.
A População Negra e o Ensino Superior no Brasil: algumas considerações
Authors: Da Silva Maria Nilza
Published: April 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir a realidade da população negra e do Ensino Superior no Brasil. O racismo influenciou fortemente o acesso e a permanência dos/as estudantes negros/as nas universidades ao longo do século XX, com efeitos ainda no início do XXI, quer dizer, em mais de 130 anos da Abolição ocorrida em 1888. As consequências desse racismo resultaram na quase inexistência de conteúdos sobre a população negra na estrutura curricular, com profundo impacto na formação inicial de professores e nas dificuldades para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas sobre o tema. Essa situação afetou a vida da população negra e das comunidades tradicionais, como os quilombolas e as religiões de matriz africana. A ausência de conhecimento sobre a própria realidade histórica e social dificulta a mobilização e a reação contra o racismo. Nesse contexto, as Ações Afirmativas, implantadas no início do século XXI, são consideradas políticas públicas de maior impacto no processo de inclusão da população negra na Educação Superior.

La universidad como clave de género, una apuesta para la transformación social
Authors: Vásquez Cortés Mariana
Published: April 2023

Las violencias contra las mujeres, así como contra la población LGBT+, son frecuentes y ocurren dentro del ámbito universitario por la falta de reconocimiento tanto de las violencias, como de las vulnerabilidades de la población, situando a las personas en espacios académicos donde son cuestionadas, violentadas y marginadas. La invisibilización de estas violencias en el desarrollo académico y la formación profesional, valida su reproducción, multiplicándose así en escenarios familiares, laborales y sociales. La creación de una política y el establecimiento de rutas de atención y la configuración de equipos de trabajo permanentes, son el paso más importante para replantearse la educación superior en clave de género y aportar así a la disminución de las violencias por esta causa.
Pinocembrin inhibits migration and invasion of nonsmall cell lung cancer cells by inhibiting STAT3 signaling
Authors: Zhang Jing , Xue Zhiqiang , Wang Bin , Wen Jiaxin , Wang Yunxi
Published: April 2023

Background: In cancer treatment, targeting the activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is crucial as it promotes tumor progression and metastasis through the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Pinocembrin, a dihydroxyflavanone found naturally in propolis and honey, is known for its antioxidant and vasodilating properties. The objective of this study is to explore the potential of pinocembrin in regulating the STAT3 signaling pathway to inhibit migration and invasion of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells.

Methods: Hematoxylin staining was used to determine the migration and invasion of A549 cells. The relative expression of EMT-related proteins and invasive proteins in A549 cells was determined by Western blot analysis. STAT3 activity was evaluated using a luciferase assay. Overexpression of STAT3 was utilized to assess the role of pinocembrin in regulating STAT3.

Results: Pinocembrin treatment (50 μM) significantly reduced the number of migrating and invasive cells. Pinocembrin upregulated the protein level of E-cadherin and downregulated the protein levels of N-cadherin and vimentin. Additionally, pinocembrin blocked the phosphorylation and activation of STAT3. Overexpression of STAT3 reversed the inhibitory effects of pinocembrin on cell migration and invasion.

Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that pinocembrin can inhibit the activation of STAT3, which is associated with EMT and thereby attenuate migration and invasion in NSCLC cells.

World technologies have changed the perspective of a consumer; at one time, people need more time to travel than communicate with long-distance living relatives. The telecommunication industry has gained significantly since the invention of the transistor. In the last century, the most valuable development in telecommunication services was the development of the mobile phone. The emergence of information communication and the mobile phone industry has changed the money transmission mechanism. Mobile money is one of the new mechanisms in financial services is that accessible through mobile phones, and it allows people to make their financial transactions via mobile phones. This type of mobile money service enhanced the social life of people and it also generates economic benefits for them. This study aims to investigate the socio-economic determinants of mobile money services in Pakistan and how this service competes with traditional financial systems. To examine the determinants of this research, a study based on Karachi, as a sample of this research. Karachi is the largest metropolitan city in Pakistan and it has the highest internal migration rate in Pakistan. Primary and secondary data were used to analyze the determinants of mobile money in Pakistan. The study reveals that migrated people are less prefer to use mobile money services due to multiple reasons. In addition, the young population has a more frequent use of mobile money. The study concludes that way, mobile money services have enormous potential in Pakistan and it makes a tough call to its competitors by accessibility and affordability. Pakistan's government should introduce more players in the market to create a healthy competition and reduce the unbanked population.

Published: April 2023

Various mobile health application for monitoring of diabetes outcomes and supporting the self-management is available in the market. However, the effectiveness of it is still unclear. This systematic literature review was conducted to determine the effectiveness of mobile health application compared to the conventional methods in managing blood glucose level, body weight, and self-management activities among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. A literature search on relevant online databases was performed to identify the randomised controlled trials studies (RCTs) that evaluated the effectiveness of the mobile health application. The relevant studies were identified and appraised according to the review protocol from Joanna Briggs Institute. Six randomised controlled trial studies has been identified and included in the review. In this review, a total of 843 participants were enrolled, mean age of 53.9 years old and all of them were diagnosed with T2DM. All the studies are methodologically good however limitation was identified in their concealment technique. All the included studies reported on the improvement in the glucose control, decreased in body mass index (BMI) and improvement in the adherence to the self-management activities. Mobile health application is effective in improving the glucose control (HbA1c), BMI and self-management activities of patients with type 2 diabetes. It could be suggested that mobile health application is worth to be considered as a method in monitoring and supporting patients with T2DM, particularly in this pandemic situation.
Clinicopathological relevance of stem cell marker growth and differentiation factor 3 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Authors: Tahbazzadeh Moghaddam Sara , Mahdi Forghanifard Mohammad
Published: April 2023

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Iran, often diagnosed in advanced stages with a poor prognosis. Growth and differentiation factor 3 (GDF3) is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily. It acts as an inhibitor of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) signaling pathway associated with pluripotent embryonic and cancer stem cells (CSCs) characteristics. Since its expression in ESCC has not yet been evaluated, the clinicopathological relevance of GDF3 expression was elucidated in ESCC patients. Expression of GDF3 in tumor tissues from 40 ESCC patients was compared to the related margin normal tissues by relatively comparative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Glyceraldehydes 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was used as the endogenous control. Likewise, the function of GDF3 in the differentiation and development of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) was also reviewed. GDF3 was significantly overexpressed in 17.5% of tumors and a significant correlation between GDF3 expression and the depth of tumor invasion was observed (P = 0.032). The results suggest that GDF3 expression is likely to have substantial roles in the progression and invasiveness behavior of ESCC. Having considered the importance of CSC markers identification and their exploitation in targeted cancer therapy, GDF3 may be introduced as a promising therapeutic target to inhibit the invasion of tumor cells in ESCC.

Engagement en formation professionnelle initiale duale et perceptions de la qualité de la formation
Authors: Berger Jean-Louis , Wenger Matilde , Sauli Florinda
Published: April 2023

L’engagement en formation constitue l’un de moteurs de l’apprentissage et de la réussite d’une formation. Cet engagement mérite d’être examiné pour en comprendre les sources et les conséquences au travers de divers contextes formatifs. Dans le cas du contexte de la formation professionnelle initiale duale en Suisse, les facteurs liés au degré d’engagement des apprenti·es sur les deux principaux lieux de formation (entreprise formatrice et école professionnelle) sont méconnus. Ainsi, cette étude avait pour objectif d’examiner comment les perceptions des apprenti·es quant à la qualité de leur formation peuvent expliquer leur engagement dans chacun des deux principaux lieux de formation. Les analyses ont permis de confirmer que les perceptions de la qualité de la formation prédisaient l’engagement au-delà de multiples caractéristiques individuelles ainsi que d’aspects motivationnels. Les résultats permettent de conclure à la pertinence de tenir compte de la façon dont les apprenti·es considèrent la qualité de leur formation pour constituer d’éventuels leviers sur lesquels agir pour soutenir leur engagement.

Despite the significant increase in the volume of public spending in the past years, it was not directed towards public investment. The pivotal structures or vital productive sectors, hence the idea of the study, whose aim is to study the importance of public debt and its role in promoting public investment, and to know the reasons for Iraq’s resort to public debt as well as the appropriate financial policies that contribute to enhancing the reality of investment. As the study proved that there is a long-term equilibrium relationship between public debt and public investment, but it is inverse, as an increase in external and domestic debt by one unit leads to a decrease in investment by (-1.29) (-0.65), as it goes towards salaries, wages, and increased military spending, contrary to what it was stipulated by the golden rule, and the study produced many recommendations, the most important of which is directing public debt funds, whether domestic or external, towards importing capital goods that contribute to expanding production capacity by enhancing the role of investment instead of directing them towards importing consumer goods. And the necessity of fully adhering to the golden rule, which stipulates that the condition for borrowing must be for investment and not for other purposes, and to work on using public debt funds in productive investments, not consumption, by setting a wellstudied policy for public debt and following an intentional expansionary fiscal policy that contributes to supporting the private sector. Being the main driver for all productive sectors.
