Authors: Bhardwaj Namita , Jaiswal Pratyush , Kaushik Jaishri
Published: October 2024

The current study's objective was to use both qualitative and quantitative screening techniques to determine whether phytochemicals were present in the methanolic, ethanolic, and aqueous extracts of Aerva lanata. Standard techniques were used to analyze the phytochemical compounds present in crude extracts, including steroids, terpenoids, phlobatannins, reducing sugar, triterpenoids, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, saponins, quinones, oxalates, tannins, cardiac glycosides, and anthraquinones. The methanolic extracts showed positive results for the maximum number of phytochemical compounds. In quantitative analysis, the essential secondary metabolites such as phenolic compounds, flavonoids, tannins, carbohydrates, alkaloids, saponins, phenols, and terpenoids were tested in all three solvent extracts of the leaf. The methanolic extract of the leaf showed the highest amounts of phytochemicals when compared with other solvent extracts.

Authors: Kale Jyoti D. , Pravin B. Akolkar
Published: October 2024

Thiazolo-Triazole is a fused ring heterocyclic system consisting of three nitrogen atoms and one Sulphur atom shows wide range of biological activities. Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. In past few decades, there has been a crucial necessity for the design and development of innovative anticancer drugs that can diminish the serious health problems and unwanted side effects associated with presently used anticancer drugs. Many anticancer drugs are commercially accessible, but nonexistence of selectivity, target specificity, cytotoxicity, and development of resistance lead to serious side effects. Several experiments have been going on to develop compounds with negligible or no side effects. The thiazole and triazole heterocyclic are well-recognized to possess abundant pharmacological activities, including predominantly anticancer, as revealed by various investigations on anticancer compounds and the latest research findings pointed out that to study the anticancer potential of thiazolo-triazole compounds in single scaffold.
ПРЕСТУПНОСТЬ В СЕЛЬСКОМ ХОЗЯЙСТВЕ ХАКАСИИ В ГОДЫ ВЕЛИКОЙ ОТЕЧЕСТВЕННОЙ ВОЙНЫ
Authors: Печерский В.А.
Published: October 2024

В статье исследуются вопросы, связанные с преступностью в сельском хозяйстве Хакасии в годы Великой Отечественной войны. Дефицит продовольствия провоцировал многочисленные кражи сельскохозяйственных продуктов. За 1942 г. было возбуждено более 100 уголовных дел по фактам хищений зерна, по которым осудили 191 человек. Неэффективная организация охраны зерна в колхозах и совхозах привела к увеличению количества краж. Расхищение зернового фонда грозило срывом планов сева и уборки.

The article examines issues related to crime in agriculture in Khakassia during the Great Patriotic War. Food shortages provoked numerous thefts of agricultural products. In 1942, more than 100 criminal cases were initiated on the facts of grain theft, according to which 191 people were convicted. Inefficient organization of grain protection in collective farms and state farms has led to an increase in the number of thefts. The plundering of the grain fund threatened to disrupt the sowing and harvesting plans.
О СКАЗКЕ «ШАМШИРБОЗ» И ЕЕ ПЕРЕВОД НА РУССКИЙ ЯЗЫК
Authors: Игамуратова Д.Ч.
Published: October 2024

В данной статье анализируется сказка «Шамширбоз», записанная от жителя города Китаб Кашкадарьинской области Узбекистана А. Шукурова и переведенная на русский язык М. Абдурахимовым. В статье анализируется схожесть сюжета этой сказки с другими народными сказками, мастерство переводчика при передаче на русский язык употребляемых в узбекском языке «говорящих» имён и фразеологизмов. Обосновывается применение переводчиком метода синтаксической трансформации. В художественном переводе передача тонкостей одного языка на другой, сохранение национальных особенностей и отражение авторского стиля – чрезвычайно сложный процесс. В процессе перевода фразеологизмов в изучаемом языке не может быть найдено адекватного перевода, соответствующего этим устойчивым сочетаниям. При переводе фразеологизмов и пословиц одного языка на другой переводчик должен хорошо владеть родным языком и фразеологией языка перевода. Ведь в результате «говорящие» имена оставленные без пояснения или без перевода, неумения отличить фразеологизмы от простых предложений при дословном переводе искажается первоначальное содержание произведения. Поэтому при переводе фразеологизмов и пословиц целесообразно использовать различные методы, такие как эквивалентный, калька, лексический перевод.

This article analyzes the fairy tale “Shamshirboz”, recorded from a resident of Kitab, Kashkadarya Region of Uzbekistan, A. Shukurov and translated into Russian by M. Abdurakhimov. The article analyzes the similarity of the plot of this fairy tale with other folk tales, mastery of the translator in translation of charactonyms and phraseological units, used in the Uzbek language, into Russian. The translator’s use of the syntactic transformation method is justified. In literary translation, the transfer of subtleties of one language to another, the preservation of national features and the reflection of the author’s style is an extremely difficult process. In the process of translating phraseological units in the studied language, an adequate translation corresponding to these stable combinations cannot be found. When translating phraseological units and proverbs of one language into another, the translator must have a good command of the native language and phraseology of the target language. After all, as a result of a word-for-word translation, charactonyms which are left without explanation or without translation and inability to distinguish phraseological units from simple sentences distort the original content of a work. Therefore, when translating phraseological units and proverbs, it is advisable to use various methods, such as equivalent, loan translation, lexical translation.
Mapping Tumor-Infiltrating Microbes: Microniches to Single Cells in the Tumor Microenvironment
Authors: Bullman Susan
Published: October 2024

Within human gastrointestinal tract tumors, malignant cells are surrounded by a complex ecosystem that includes a range of non-transformed human cells, as well as a diverse collection of microorganisms. The goal of my research program is to understand the impact of tumor-infiltrating bacteria on cancer progression and patient response to treatment. My talk will begin by discussing our findings that specific tumor-infiltrating bacteria are an intrinsic component of the colorectal cancer tumor microenvironment, persisting with the cancer even at distant metastatic sites (Bullman et al., Science, 2017).

Additionally, I will highlight our serendipitous findings during the search for a small molecule inhibitor of the oncomicrobe Fusobacterium nucleatum (sensu lato), which revealed a complex interplay between the intratumoral microbiota and cancer treatment drugs (LaCourse et al., Cell Reports, 2022). I will also present our recent efforts to understand the contribution of the intratumoral microbiota to the tumor microenvironment (Galeano Nino et al., Nature, 2022). Specifically, we sought to determine where these microbes physically reside within tumor tissue, what host cells they are interacting with, and most importantly, the consequences of these interactions. To do this, we adapted and applied emerging technologies, including spatial transcriptomics, spatial proteomics, and single-cell sequencing (developed as INVADEseq, Galeano Nino et al., Nature Protocols, 2023), to profile host-microbial interactions in human oral and colorectal cancers. Our results reveal that the intratumoral microbiota is not randomly distributed within human oral and colorectal tumors but instead are localized to distinct microniches associated with immune and epithelial cell functions that support cancer progression.

Finally, I will discuss our recent pangenomic and functional studies on Fusobacterium strains isolated from human colorectal cancer tumors, revealing a distinct Fusobacterium nucleatum (sensu lato) clade that dominates the human colorectal cancer tumor niche (Zepeda-Rivera et al., Nature, 2024). Understanding how the microbiota impacts cancer progression and patient responses to treatment will facilitate the development of novel therapeutic approaches that incorporate the microbial component of the tumor microenvironment.
Gut Microbiome Wellness Index 2 enhances health status prediction from gut microbiome taxonomic profiles
Authors: Sung Jaeyun
Published: October 2024

Recent advancements in translational gut microbiome research have revealed its crucial role in shaping predictive healthcare applications. Herein, we introduce the Gut Microbiome Wellness Index 2 (GMWI2), an enhanced version of our original GMWI prototype, designed as a standardized disease-agnostic health status indicator based on gut microbiome taxonomic profiles. Our analysis involves pooling existing 8069 stool shotgun metagenomes from 54 published studies across a global demographic landscape (spanning 26 countries and six continents) to identify gut taxonomic signals linked to disease presence or absence. GMWI2 achieves a cross-validation balanced accuracy of 80% in distinguishing healthy (no disease) from non-healthy (diseased) individuals and surpasses 90% accuracy for samples with higher confidence (i.e., outside the “reject option”). This performance exceeds that of the original GMWI model and traditional species-level α-diversity indices, indicating a more robust gut microbiome signature for differentiating between healthy and non-healthy phenotypes across multiple diseases. When assessed through inter-study validation and external validation cohorts, GMWI2 maintains an average accuracy of nearly 75%. Furthermore, by reevaluating previously published datasets, GMWI2 offers new insights into the effects of diet, antibiotic exposure, and fecal microbiota transplantation on gut health. Available as an open-source command-line tool, GMWI2 represents a timely, pivotal resource for evaluating health using an individual’s unique gut microbial composition.

Interprofessional Competency Acquisition in an Interprofessional Training Ward Four-Week Placement: “Teamwork Is What Is Going to Ensure Our Patients Are Happy and Safe”
Authors: Doolan-Noble Fiona , Morgan Sonya , Crabtree Ian , Symes Ashley , Skinner Margot , McKinlay Eileen
Published: October 2024

Demand on education and health authorities to provide workplace based learning opportunities for students to acquire interprofessional collaborative practice competencies is increasing. This article outlines the acquisition of interprofessional competencies by pre-registration health professional students in a four-week interprofessional training ward placement. Four final-year health professional students (medicine, nursing, occupational therapy and physiotherapy), from two tertiary education institutes worked together on an assessment, treatment and rehabilitation ward for older adults based within a local tertiary hospital. Four competency domains were the focus for the placement: role clarification and appreciation; interprofessional communication; team functioning; and interprofessional coordination and shared decision-making. Sequential audio-recorded focus groups were undertaken with the students each week. Using template analysis, student reports on each of the four interprofessional competencies each week over the four-week period were explored. Findings demonstrated all students incrementally and differentially acquired the four competencies over the course of the placement. The period between week-two and week-three was a critical time for competency acquisition as the students encountered real-life clinical problems. The study contributes to a growing body of research demonstrating the potential for interprofessional training wards to enable competency acquisition for undergraduate health professional students, and that competency acquisition may be time sensitive.

In this study, the reasons and consequences of the chain reaction that started with the negative effects of global warming and resulted in food and water insecurity, and its effects on sustainable food and water security were discussed with a comprehensive literature review. The possible effects of this process, which threatens the entire food and water system, on the future of humanity were examined. If the excessive consumption of natural resources and the use of fossil fuels continue rapidly, global warming and its consequences will continue to increasingly negatively affect our daily lives. In addition to the effects of global warming on food and water security, it is possible that new bacteria and viral diseases that are difficult to treat and will threaten humanity may emerge. Humanity may encounter new pandemics. The melting of polar ice caps, which play an important role in ensuring the natural balance, may cause many agricultural areas and settlements to be flooded. Global migrations can also be listed as possible consequences of global warming. Attention is drawn to the local and global measures that need to be taken to stop this process and provide assurance for a sustainable future. The risks that this process will create, which will affect the future of humanity, will be evaluated within a scientific framework, and it is aimed to raise awareness to manage our global future and to ensure a livable world, sustainable food and water security for future generations.

This article examines the necessity and benefits of using wastes as raw materials, separating their valuable components, and reusing them. The aim is to prove that recyclable products can be created from domestic or industrial plants or animal wastes. It has been examined with reasons and examples that these substances, which cause problems in their current state, are raw materials and that a sustainable life can be achieved in this way. This will reduce additional threats to natural resources already nearing depletion and provide easier access to quality food. Wastes such as cherry stalks, onion peels, walnut shells, orange, lemon and bitter orange peels, melon and watermelon seeds, apricot and apricot seed kernels, which are among the plant solid wastes and have market value, are currently being evaluated in the food industry. Since the wastes of fruit juice factories, carob, thyme, apple, apricot, sour cherry and peach pulp from fruit juice factories, tomato and pepper waste from tomato paste factories, wine and molasses factory waste, vegetable oil factory waste, sugar beet factory wastes are in large volumes; they can be composted and given to the soil or reused in agriculture and as animal feed additives. In contrast, some waste oil, essence and seeds can be separated and reprocessed. Animal waste is also reused in agricultural production through various processes. Reusing animal manure, feathers, wool, leather, and slaughterhouse waste to produce new products is becoming increasingly popular. Chicken feathers and sheep wool, with their high protein content, are precious sources of amino acids. The free amino acids produced from them are added to plant nutrients and animal feed rations, strengthening living beings under all kinds of biotic and abiotic (cold, heat, drought, salt) stress conditions and increasing productivity. Isolating rare elements in the wastes remaining after the nutrient isolation by acids used during the production stages of chemical fertilizers also has excellent potential for sustainable waste management. Large volumes of plant, animal, and agricultural industrial waste should be recycled to promote sustainable production and protect natural resources.

Published: October 2024

The agri-food sector is the world’s largest waste generator. It is estimated that today between one-quarter and one-third of the food produced globally today becomes waste. Agrifood waste and by-products originate from the natural aging (staling) and deterioration, pre-sorting, processing and manufacturing processes of food and beverage products. A significant portion of waste is generated during the transformation of raw materials (fruits, vegetables, plants, tubers, grains and animal products such as meat, milk and eggs) into different processed fruit and vegetable products (e.g. jams, sauces and canned fruits/ vegetables), bakery products (e.g. bread, biscuits, crackers, cakes), dairy products (e.g. cheese and yoghurt) and alcoholic (e.g. wine and beer) and non-alcoholic beverages (e.g. fruit juices and soft drinks). Transforming food waste into high value-added products should be considered as a new business model structure that requires careful feasible planning from the economic and technical aspects. Accordingly, based on the fact that food waste is formed in primary and secondary production stages, a new tertiary production model needs to be developed based on alternatives such as transforming food waste into value-added products either where it is formed or by transferring it to collection centers. The aim of this review study is to discuss the possibilities of transforming food waste into value-added products with application examples.
El mercado de la vivienda residencial en España: evolución reciente y comparación internacional
Authors: Lajer Baron Andrés , López Rodríguez David , San Juan Lucio
Published: October 2024

Este documento describe la evolución del mercado de la vivienda residencial en la economía española considerando una perspectiva temporal amplia. Asimismo, este trabajo complementa los principales análisis sobre dicho mercado a los que se hace referencia en el capítulo 4 del Informe Anual 2023 del Banco de España y en el Documento Ocasional 2432, que examina la evolución del mercado del alquiler residencial. La evidencia presentada muestra un notable dinamismo del mercado de la vivienda, en términos de compraventas y precios medios, desde la recuperación económica iniciada en 2014. En el período más reciente, el incremento acumulado de las compraventas se basaría, en buena medida, en el crecimiento demográfico y en la demanda de no residentes. En este contexto, el limitado crecimiento de la oferta de vivienda nueva habría contribuido a sostener el aumento de los precios. Al mismo tiempo, se documentan una recuperación de los flujos de crédito hipotecario y unas condiciones financieras holgadas hasta 2021. Estos desarrollos han sido compatibles con un notable desendeudamiento de los hogares y con la corrección de los desequilibrios acumulados en el mercado inmobiliario durante la primera década del siglo XXI. Además, las vulnerabilidades y los riesgos para la estabilidad financiera asociados al mercado de la vivienda en España se encuentran actualmente contenidos. A esta contención ha contribuido, entre otros factores, la aplicación durante la última década de estándares crediticios más exigentes que los prevalentes antes de la crisis financiera global. La comparación de los indicadores de actividad, precios y crédito inmobiliario con los de las principales economías avanzadas muestra una elevada heterogeneidad en las tendencias observadas y sugiere que el tamaño relativo del mercado de la vivienda residencial en España no se encontraría sobredimensionado.
MRI and placenta accreta: Keys for its interpretation in images, regarding a case
Authors: Aliaga Francisca , del Campo Fernanda , Cocio Rolando , Schiappacasse Giancarlo , Blanco Sebastián , Pires Yumay
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) refers to the abnormal adherence of the placental trophoblast to the uterine myometrium. Several conditions are associated with its development. Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice for antenatal diagnosis. In cases of doubt, magnetic resonance (MR) plays a leading role, due to its high performance, and contributes to surgical planning. The final diagnosis is made in the surgery, with subsequent confirmation by pathology. The objective of this article is to present a case of placenta increta, focused on the imaging findings in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Case Report: We present a case of a 35-year-old woman with a history of 2 previous cesarean sections and chronic hypertension, who presented a 23-week pregnancy with obstetric ultrasound showing placenta accreta. An MRI was performed, and it showed signs of placenta accreta, with no evidence of transmural extension to adjacent organs. At 34 weeks, a cesarean section and hysterectomy were performed, with no evidence of bladder invasion.

Conclusion: The diagnosis of PAS is made antenatal with ultrasound, but MRI has been used in some cases, with some characteristic features that every radiologist should know.

The collaborative synergy between pharmacists and social work specialists is crucial for optimizing patient care in medical institutions. This critical review examines their complementary roles, highlighting how interdisciplinary collaboration enhances healthcare outcomes. Pharmacists contribute through medication management, patient education, and clinical support, while social work specialists provide psychosocial support, patient advocacy, and discharge planning. By integrating their expertise, these professionals address both medical and social determinants of health, improving patient adherence, satisfaction, and overall health outcomes. Despite clear benefits, barriers such as communication gaps, professional silos, and resource constraints hinder effective collaboration. This review synthesizes current literature, providing case studies and identifying strategies to overcome these challenges. Training programs, policy development, and technological advancements are recommended to foster a collaborative environment. Future research should focus on the long-term impact of interdisciplinary collaboration on patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency. This review underscores the necessity of fostering a synergistic relationship between pharmacists and social work specialists to enhance patient care in medical institutions.

This study explored the effects of prebiotic β-Galacto-oligosaccharide (β-GOS) and probiotic supplementation as a nutritional strategy to mitigate stress-induced impacts on growth performance in rabbits. Twenty male rabbits were randomly assigned to four groups: A (negative control, no stress), B (positive control, Dexa-stressed 15 mg/kg [D-S 15], C (D-S 15 + probiotic mixture), and D (D-S 15 + 0.2% β-GOS). Initial body weight did not differ significantly (P > 0.05) among the groups. However, a significant difference (P < 0.05) in weekly body weight was observed from weeks 1 to 12. Body weight increased linearly across all groups, with the final body weight at week 12 being highest in group A (2.32±0.52 g), followed by group C (2.09±0.32 g) and group D (2.01±0.51 g), while group B had the lowest weight (1.87±0.61 g). A significant difference (P < 0.05) in average daily gain was also recorded, with group A showing the highest gain (5.7±0.43 g), while groups C and D showed lower gains (5.3±0.24 g and 5.0±0.61 g, respectively). Group B exhibited the lowest daily gain (4.2±0.17 g). Feed intake followed a similar pattern, with group A having the highest intake at week 12 (126±0.13 g), followed by groups C (124±0.13 g), D (123±0.03 g), and B (116±0.09 g). Feed efficiency was significantly different (P < 0.05), with group A showing the best feed efficiency (4.9±0.14), while group B recorded the poorest efficiency (5.0±0.17). Overall, stress significantly reduced growth performance in rabbits by decreasing body weight gain, feed intake, and feed efficiency, while probiotic and prebiotic β-GOS supplementation improved these parameters, indicating its potential to mitigate the adverse effects of stress.

Published: October 2024

O avanço na tecnologia tem gerado uma transformação no desenvolvimento de espumas poliméricas. As espumas de quitosana/hidroxietilcelulose destacam-se como materiais promissores, com aplicações que vão desde a engenharia de tecidos até à libertação controlada de fármacos. Neste contexto, este estudo emprega a otimização experimental utilizando o modelo Box-Behnken para investigar como a concentração de reagentes (quitosana, hidroxietilcelulose, bicarbonato de sódio) influencia na razão de intumescimento de espumas quitosana/hidroxietilcelulose. Para isso, foram produzidas espumas com diferentes concentrações dos reagentes, e a razão de intumescimento. A razão de intumescimento das amostras variou de acordo com o tempo de exposição à água e a concentração dos reagentes. A otimização experimental permitiu avaliar os resultados da razão de intumescimento com um elevado nível de confiança e entender como cada fator influencia essa propriedade. Os resultados deste estudo permitem a seleção de composições que favorecem a obtenção de espumas com diferentes razões de intumescimento, reduzindo custos e tempo no desenvolvimento de pesquisas.
Exploring Inter-institutional Collaboration: The Case of a Franchise Accelerator Program
Authors: Cumberland Denise M. , Ellinger Andrea D.
Published: October 2024

Collaboration between franchisors and higher education institutions (HEIs) has emerged as a pathway for franchise benefactors to facilitate the inclusion of franchising curricula into business programs. This qualitative evaluative case study focuses on a franchise accelerator program that was designed to create opportunities for women and under-represented populations to pursue business ownership. The findings illustrate the value this inter-institutional collaboration creates for various stakeholders and identifies the critical components that contributed or detracted from this program. Further, it articulates recommendations for improving the program and hurdles that must be overcome. This case study may encourage more HEIs and franchisors to partner to attract more diverse talent into franchising.
Defining Trauma-Aware Voice Pedagogy with Recommendations for Practice
Authors: Flock Lydia , Aldridge-Waddon Luke
Published: October 2024

Abstract: There is increasing interest in how to define and practice trauma-informed voice pedagogy. Voice teachers sometimes feel a need to react to trauma-related responses during lessons or to contextualize interactions between trauma experience and voice use, yet clear guidance on defining and implementing trauma-informed voice teaching is not routinely available. This paper includes an overview of trauma-informed practice and discusses implications for voice pedagogy, specifically singing teaching. It offers recommendations for singing teacher practice, with the aim of identifying and underlining teacher responsibilities regarding reasonable and ethical trauma-aware approaches to voice pedagogy.
The Relationship Between Chronic Cough and Laryngopharyngeal Reflux: A Professional Voice User’s Guide on Diagnosis and Treatment
Authors: Yeakel Heather , Sataloff Robert T.
Published: October 2024

Abstract: Chronic cough is multifactorial in origin, affects quality of life adversely, including preventing singers from performing, and poses a diagnostic challenge. Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is one common cause of chronic cough, but there are many causes of which singing teachers should be aware. Recently, research has been completed to investigate the relationship between chronic cough and LPR to help with treatment and management of this complicated disease process, and that new information is summarized; but awareness of other causes is stressed because many physicians are not expert in cough management. Singers and teachers need to be informed health care consumers.
Notes from (art) Song Lab: A Generative Model for Song Collaborations
Authors: d’Amato Alison
Published: October 2024

Abstract: Song collaborations are a mainstay for pianists who work in vocal repertoire. Those experiences are foundational for exploring singer-pianist relationships, but they rarely address the relationships with composers or text authors. There are few reference materials for composer-performer collaborations, and none that document the triangular connections between composers, poets, and performers. In June 2024, (art) Song Lab celebrated its thirteenth year of fostering these collaborations. This column explores the how and why of these creative combinations, with analysis of new approaches to productive communication, augmented musicianship, and healthy respect for the creative integrity among all participants.

This study was carried out to evaluate different spraying regimes for the production of two cowpea varieties (Ife Brown and IT2246) in the humid southwest agro-ecologies of Nigeria in order to recommend optimum spraying regimes for cowpea production in the zone. Agronomic data were collected from trials conducted in 2020 and 2021 in outstations representative of the broad agroecologies of this region of Nigeria. The data were subjected to partial budget and marginal rate-ofreturn analyses. The results show varying potential of the cowpea varieties and spraying regimes across locations. Ife Brown cowpea can be produced profitably under forest agro-ecologies (Ibadan) with three spraying regimes at a moderate application rate of 200 litres per hectare. In the derived savannah, the Ife Brown and IT2246 varieties were profitable with four spraying regimes at a moderate application rate of 200 litres per hectare, while planting Ife Brown with two regimes of spraying at moderate pesticide application rate of 200 litres per hectare was profitable for the southern Guinea savannah agro-ecologies.

The primary objective of this study is to perform a comprehensive mechanical analysis of unsaturated polyester (UP) resin under unidirectional tensile loading. The Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique was employed to accurately determine the mechanical properties of the material, with full-field strain measurements used to extract both transverse and longitudinal strains through virtual extensometers. This approach facilitated the precise calculation of the Poisson’s ratio of the UP resin. The results obtained via DIC demonstrated strong correlation with the experimental data obtained through the machine’s control software, particularly in capturing vertical displacement and longitudinal strain with high precision. The Poisson’s ratio was found to be 0.46. To further validate the DIC findings, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was conducted. The FEA results aligned closely with the experimental data, confirming the reliability and accuracy of the DIC method in this context. The values of Young’s modulus determined from experimental tests and FEA data were  3620.02 MPa and 3598 MPa, respectively, with a percentage error of only 0.61%.

Published: October 2024

The accurate diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma is a complex and critical challenge in medical practice due to the clinical and pathological diversity of thyroid tumors. This study explores the application of advanced deep learning models, specifically EfficientNet B4 and MobileNetV3, to enhance the classification of thyroid histopathological images. By leveraging transfer learning, these models were fine-tuned on a dataset of 7,272 images encompassing three types of carcinoma: Medullary, Papillary, and Vesicular. The performance of these models was evaluated using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The results indicate that both models are effective, with EfficientNet B4 demonstrating slightly superior accuracy, particularly in more challenging diagnostic scenarios. Despite these promising results, the study acknowledges limitations related to dataset size and variability, which could affect the generalizability of the models. To address these issues, future research should focus on expanding the dataset and incorporating additional diagnostic data, such as genetic and molecular markers, to improve model performance and clinical applicability. This study highlights the potential of deep learning models to significantly enhance the diagnostic accuracy of thyroid carcinomas, paving the way for more reliable and precise clinical decision-making.

Os estudos decoloniais resultam na criação de um saber decolonial, fundamentado na recusa do conhecimento eurocêntrico, das práticas patriarcais e dos objetivos do capitalismo contemporâneo. Diversos campos da vida social, incluindo a educação – especialmente nos países colonizados por nações europeias –, passaram a questionar e rejeitar o conteúdo epistêmico que interpreta a vida social, econômica, cultural, ideológica, política e subjetiva dos indivíduos sob uma ótica eurocêntrica. Diante disso, diversos pensadores, com base em experiências e experimentações locais, buscam construir um aporte epistemológico, teórico e metodológico no campo educacional que reflita os atravessamentos vividos por esses sujeitos. Assim, a educação decolonial se propõe a criar saberes e práticas pedagógicas que rejeitam o conhecimento eurocêntrico, como forma de resistência ao colonialismo e às formas de dominação presentes na sociedade. Dessa maneira, perguntamo-nos: de que forma a educação decolonial pode contribuir para a superação das estruturas eurocêntricas, patriarcais e capitalistas nos sistemas educacionais contemporâneos, especialmente nos países historicamente colonizados? A partir dessa inquietação, embasamo-nos teoricamente em vários autores, destacando as obras Decolonialidade e pensamento afrodiaspórico, organizada por Joaze Bernardino-Costa et. al. (2019), e Descolonizar, de Boaventura de Sousa Santos (2022), entre outros autores igualmente relevantes. A pesquisa, de caráter qualitativo (Minayo, 2016), bibliográfico (Gil, 1999) e compreensivo (Weber, 2009), revela que a educação decolonial só será plenamente implementada quando os elementos de dominação social – como o colonialismo, o patriarcado e o capitalismo – derem lugar a novas formas de poder e saber, advindas dos sujeitos atualmente subalternizados, os quais devem ser reconhecidos como protagonistas de sua própria história. Esse reconhecimento não envolve apenas a transformação das práticas pedagógicas, mas também uma revisão profunda das bases epistemológicas que sustentam o currículo e o processo de ensino-aprendizagem. A educação decolonial exige, portanto, uma ruptura com a lógica da homogeneização cultural e a valorização da pluralidade de saberes, especialmente aqueles que emergem das vivências locais e das resistências históricas dos povos marginalizados.

Este artigo analisa a eficácia das intervenções baseadas em neurociência para alunos com necessidades especiais, com ênfase em práticas educacionais que utilizam o conhecimento sobre o funcionamento cerebral para otimizar o aprendizado e o desenvolvimento desses alunos. A neurociência tem oferecido novas perspectivas sobre como o cérebro processa e retém informações, permitindo a criação de métodos de ensino mais eficazes e personalizados para atender às necessidades específicas desses alunos. Estudos revelam que intervenções neurocientíficas podem resultar em melhorias substanciais em diversas áreas, incluindo habilidades cognitivas, comportamento e autoestima dos estudantes. No entanto, é crucial considerar a aplicação prática dessas intervenções e a importância da formação adequada de educadores para garantir a maximização de seus benefícios. A eficácia dessas práticas pedagógicas baseadas em neurociência depende de uma integração eficiente entre as teorias neurocientíficas e as estratégias educacionais, que devem ser adaptadas às características e necessidades individuais de cada aluno, proporcionando um ambiente de aprendizagem inclusivo e eficaz. Portanto, este estudo visa destacar tanto os avanços quanto os desafios associados à implementação de intervenções neurocientíficas no contexto da educação especial.
