Published: February 2024

O lúpus eritematoso sistêmico (LES) é uma doença  de caráter inflamatório crônico autoimune multissistêmica com manifestações clínicas variáveis.  Fatores genéticos, hormonais e ambientais estão correlacionados  com  o  desenvolvimento  da  doença,  a  qual  é  caracterizada  por   períodos de remissão e exacerbação. No LES, os fenômenos  imunológicos levam à produção de auto-anticorpos, os quais são  dirigidos a antígenos nucleares do próprio organismo, resultando em diferentes manifestações clínicas, podendo acometer ossos,  articulações,  pulmões,  fígado,  rins  e  sistema  nervoso  central.   Mulheres em período fértil têm alta prevalência, sendo que, na  maior  parte  dos  casos,  não  têm  sua  fertilidade  comprometida.  O início do quadro durante período gestacional pode indicar pior prognóstico materno-fetal. A gravidez está desaconselhada quando a doença está ativa durante a concepção, e com menos de 6 meses de ultimo evento agudo, e quando se associa à  nefrite lúpica. Mulheres portadoras de lúpus cursam com gestação  de  alto  risco,  haja  vista,  as  gestantes  lúpicas  apresentarem   maior taxa de abortamento espontâneo, restrição de crescimento intra-uterino e fetal, eclâmpsia, morte fetal, parto pré-termo. Há  controvérsias sobre o efeito da gestação na atividade da doença,  uma vez que, o LES pode afetar a gravidez, e o inverso também  pode ocorrer; todavia, o LES não deve ser entendido como uma  limitação à gestação, e o acompanhamento da mesma deve ser  feito por equipe multiprofissional, assegurando uma gravidez  segura  para  mãe  e  feto.  O presente trabalho apresenta  o  caso  de  uma  paciente   diagnosticada com LES no terceiro trimestre de gestação e que  apresentou evolução clínica e laboratorial rápida evoluindo com quadro de nefrite lúpica, restrição de crescrismento intraútero e parto pre-termo.

Authors: Eliyasni Rifda , Habibi M. , Nurfaijah  , Wijanarko Tiok
Published: February 2024

Purpose: The objective of this research is to describes the process of designing and developing mobile game based-integrated thematic learningc (MGBITL) in elementary schools. The mobile game based-integrated thematic learningc (MGBITL) is different from Mobile game-based learning (MGBL). Because it is necessary to pay attention to the themes and subthemes that are the basis for developing learning content.
 
Theoterical Framework: Mobile game-based learning (MGBL) is a serious game, that is, a game designed for educational purposes while still remaining entertaining. MGBL has been shown in numerous studies to aid pupils in learning and reduce psychological stress. This research seeks to develop MGBL for Integrated Thematic Learning (MGBITL) for elementary school students. Building MGBITL based on mobile game development theory and integrated thematic concepts required proper procedures
 
Methods: This research employed the MGBL Engineering Model, which consisted of three stages: (1) pre-production (discover & dream), (2) production (design), and (3) post-production (delivery). Literature review and distribution of online questionnaires to teachers were used to collect data about the principles of developing MGBITL for elementary school students.
 
Findings: The MGBITL application has been design which consists of 21 types of games adapted from Class V Theme 8 Subtheme 1 material which is the result of research activities. Hopefully, the introduction of MGBITL will aid teachers in teaching materials that need imagination, make subject matter easier to understand, and promote fun learning concepts. So that students are unaware that they are participating in a learning activity.
 
Practical implications: The study provides new knowledge about how to design mobile game-based integrated thematic learning (MGBITL). It's not just thematic learning material, but the game content too. There is a lot of learning material that must be linked by paying attention to the interconnectedness of each content.
 
Originality/Value: The originality of this research lies in the thematic learning concept used in game content. So far, game content only focuses on one discipline/learning content.

Authors: Yiğit Yeşim Esen
Published: February 2024

Neck swellings can be caused by a variety of conditions, such as hemorrhage, congenital lesions, reactive lymphadenopathies, and cancer. Bronchogenic cyst is one of the congenital lesions of the lower airway. Bronchogenic cysts could expand and result in pain, compressive symptoms, and respiratory difficulty. A 45-year-old female presented to the emergency department with neck swelling, breathing abnormality, and pain. It was noted in the medical history that the patient regularly used aspirin. In the patient’s examination and imaging studies, a 45¥40¥56 mm, well-contoured, nonenhancing cystic lesion was observed in the right paratracheal area extending to the neck. The lesion deviated the trachea to the left. During inpatient follow-up, the patient’s complaints became markedly worse, and the patient had increased shortness of breath. Surgery was planned to remove the cyst, and the cyst was excised with the help of the thoracic surgery department. The pathology confirmed a bronchogenic cyst. In a patient experiencing neck swelling and respiratory distress, lesions spontaneously bleeding due to aspirin should be kept in mind. A fatal outcome may occur due to pressure on the airway.

Published: February 2024

A presente pesquisa analisa como as demandas e as teorias dos movimentos femininos no Japão foram apropriadas pelas quadrinistas do CLAMP entre as décadas de 1970 e 1980, momento em que as organizações femininas do pós-guerra começavam a ganhar força e as mulheres entravam no mercado editorial com mais pujança do que os anos anteriores. O mangá é concebido aqui como fonte primária da investigação, que utiliza como metodologia a proposta de autores como Will Eisner, Sonia B. Luyten, Umberto Eco e Paulo Ramos, que sugerem a possibilidade de compreendê-lo como linguagem visual e escrita passível de desconstrução. Como fundamentação teórica, será utilizado o conceito de apropriação, proposto por Michel de Certeau. Como resultado, compreendemos que, apropriando-se de um repertório político e cultural específico, as artistas da CLAMP ressignificaram esses elementos nas suas obras voltadas ao público masculino, subvertendo padrões de gênero que já estavam estabelecidos nesse nicho editorial.

Published: February 2024

The chapter discusses the progress of science and technology in facilities for farm animals. It is noteworthy that technological innovations often surpass science's ability to assimilate them quickly, especially with the exponential growth of databases. The text contextualizes the evolution of animal facilities throughout history. In the past, the focus was on physical elements and equipment to control the microclimate, but with technological advancements, the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the way these environments are planned and managed. AI enables real-time data collection, analysis, and interpretation, making it possible to make precise adjustments to environmental conditions to meet the needs of animals. Technology has evolved to record animal activities that may be related to health, including movements, behaviors, and vital signs. Despite the advances, the text points out structural and biological challenges that may hinder the implementation of new technologies in facilities. However, the importance of facility planning to ensure animal welfare and productivity is highlighted, especially when considering thermal comfort. This involves understanding the specific needs of animals in relation to the environment, choosing suitable building materials, and adopting sustainable practices such as renewable energy systems. In short, the chapter emphasizes that the revolution in the ambience of animal facilities, driven by artificial intelligence, represents a significant advance in the search for adaptable and optimal conditions, creating a healthier and more efficient environment for animal production.
QUALITY ENHANCEMENT OF THE STREET CORRIDOR TO SUPPORT TOURISM BASED ON URBAN DESIGN CONCEPT IN PEMUDA STREET, MAGELANG CITY
Authors: Fauzia Tasnim Arma , Swasto Deva Fosterharoldas
Published: February 2024

Pemuda Street is a corridor in the Magelang Chinatown area, known as one of the shopping centers in Magelang City. This area is generally a commerce and service area consisting of shops, healthcare facilities, and banking services. Despite its dominance by various economic opportunities and claims to be a Chinatown area, it requires a suitable area identity. Problems arise from various perspectives, such as pedestrian facilities being limited to pedestrians with unattractive visual appeal that fails to represent the distinctive characteristics of Chinatown. Consequently, motorcycle riders tend to utilize pedestrians more than walkers. Furthermore, most shops have experienced a decrease in visitors, influencing the economic earnings of the area. The Pemuda Street corridor aims to be planned using the design thinking method, adapting the concept of complete streets with elaboration from the concepts of commercial street, shared street, urban tourism, and vernacular settlement, to address various issues. The planning process begins with problem analysis and literature review to manifest the ideal planning concept. It concludes with creating a master plan design for the area summarized in textual explanations, two-dimensional images, and three-dimensional frameworks. The results of this research is apply the "complete street" planning concept can become the basis for designs that focus on functionality, aesthetics, sustainability, social needs, environmental harmony, and economic progress while respecting the historical values of the area Chinatown in Magelang City.
Yunwei in Nakhi Ethnic Minority Music: Shift from Gongche Notation and Oral Transmission to Simplified Notation Starting 1970s
Authors: Yang Ziyue
Published: February 2024

During the 1970s, musicians of the Nakhi ethnic minority, one of China’s fifty-six recognized minorities, transitioned from oral transmission and indigenous gongche notation, methods used for thousands of years, to ciphered notation. They intensely debated whether to move away from tradition and which notation could better capture yunwei (akin to authenticity). The article explores the musical meaning of yunwei to Nakhi musicians. Yunwei transcends written notations; it represents a fluid aesthetic understanding of a music piece, rooted in the original interpretation yet open to innovation, and evolves alongside commercial and cultural tourism influences. The ongoing negotiation between international World Heritage institutions, the State, and individual musicians complicates the definition of yunwei. It involves three levels of validation: UNESCO’s recognition of Nakhi as a World Heritage Site, the State’s acknowledgment of musicians as “cultural bearers” within its patronage system, and these recognized “cultural bearers’” assessment of the authenticity of students’ music performances. This analysis invites a reevaluation of notation as a dynamic interface between tradition and modernity, suggesting its value lies in documenting musical pitches and rhythms and in its capacity to engage with the deeper, often intangible aspects of cultural heritage and identity.
“It’s a Boy Thing”: AAA Games Still Seem to Primarily Address Cisgendered White Male Players
Authors: Zhang Yun
Published: February 2024

The boom in new technologies and the growth of the internet have contributed to the huge mainstream market for video games. However, despite the fact that video games have become mainstream, the stereotype that they are the exclusive domain of white male gamers persists, and those who do not fall into this category are still marginalised. This paper focuses on Crawford and Godbey’s 1987 framework for analysing the lack of representation of non-white and non-male video game players. In addition to this, some developers who are committed to developing diverse and inclusive game characters continue to fall short of addressing the root causes of marginalisation in video games.

Authors: Forestin Kartika Virgi , Dewi Eko Nurcahya , Widowati Ita
Published: February 2024

The potential of seaweed resources in Indonesia has a significant economic value that is quite competitive and useful in the food and non-food sectors. One of the habitats of Sargassum sp. in Indonesia is Ujung Kulon, Banten Province. However, the existence of this species has not been utilized optimally and sustainably by the community. In addition, the problem is the lack of community participation in conservation water areas and sustainable management. The study aimed to determine the resource potential of brown seaweed Sargassum sp. in the location. In addition, it will evaluate the management and utilization, as well as the role of the community in sustainable management. Sustainability analysis was conducted using the Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) technique through the RAPFISH (Rapid Appraisal for Fisheries) approach reinforced with Monte Carlo and Leverage analyses. The preparation of sustainability attributes is based on ecological, economic, social, and institutional dimensions. The results of this study showed that each dimension's value for the environmental dimension (66.15 entirely) is sustainable. The sustainability index value in the economic dimension (81.68) is sustainable. The results of the ordination analysis show that the sustainability index value in the social dimension (20.97) is not sustainable, institutional (31.92) with less sustainable status, so it needs to be a top priority for improvement on several sensitive attributes as leverage factors. In this case, the economic dimension is the value with the highest index, which aligns with the main livelihoods of the conservation area's people. As for the social and institutional dimensions, appropriate improvements still need to be made to support sustainable development. These results are expected to provide information and illustrations for stakeholders and the community in sustainable management efforts in formulating policy strategies.

Expérimentation de l'usage du cannabis de l'adolescence à l'âge adulte en France
Authors: BERKHOUT C
Published: February 2024

Le cannabis est la drogue illicite la plus expérimentée et la plus consommée par la population française. En 2021, 47,3 % des 18-64 ans avaient déjà expérimenté le cannabis (vs 32,9 % en 2010), et 10,6 % continuaient d’en consommer l’année suivante (vs 8,0 % en 2010). Le rapport en fonction du genre est d’une femme pour deux hommes. En Europe, le nombre de patients admis pour la première fois en traitement pour des problèmes liés au cannabis a augmenté de 76 % entre 2006 et 2017. Avec les lois du 31 décembre 1970 et du 5 mars 2007, la France possède l’un de arsenaux législatifs les plus répressifs d’Europe concernant l’usage des drogues illicites. Elle est paradoxalement le pays européen ayant les niveaux de consommation de cannabis les plus élevés. Des législations différentes selon les pays européens pourraient conduire à une différence du type d’usage de cette drogue : lorsque la législation le permet, les personnes âgées pourraient consommer du cannabis à des fins médicales.

Introduction. Il existe depuis une dizaine d’années une augmentation des signaux sanitaires en France liés au chemsex chez les hommes ayant des rapports avec des hommes (HSH). Objectif. Identifier les risques ressentis par les HSH pratiquant le chemsex et leurs stratégies d’adaptation. Méthode. Étude qualitative basée sur 11 entretiens individuels semi-dirigés et un focus group de 4 chemsexeurs. Échantillonnage raisonné des participants recrutés sur la base du volontariat et par réseau. Enregistrement audio des entretiens puis retranscription mot à mot. Analyse phénoménologique des données puis production de catégories par comparaison constante entre les données et les construits de l’analyse. Résultats. Le risque majeur ressenti était le risque addictif. Le risque infectieux était la dangerosité des produits, sur lesquels se concentraient la prévention et la réduction des risques et des dommages (RdRD), le risque socioprofessionnel, l’impact sur la qualité de la vie sexuelle et la santé mentale, la notion de consentement. Il existait une multiplicité de techniques de contrôle et de réduction des risques par les usagers, mises en place de façon autonome. Ces techniques résultaient d’un apprentissage lié aux expériences personnelles, d’informations transmises par les pairs, le milieu associatif et médical. Discussion. Il est crucial de promouvoir l’accès à des programmes de prévention et de RdRD pour garantir la connaissance des risques associés au chemsex et ainsi une meilleure adaptation des comportements. Pour atteindre cet objectif, il est important de diversifier les stratégies de prévention et de RdRD afin de sensibiliser les chemsexeurs à ces multiples problématiques.

An Exploratory Study on the Brain Drain Within the Higher Education: A Case of Private Universities in Sichuan Province, China
Authors: Huachun Zhang
Published: February 2024

This paper presents an exploratory study on the phenomenon of brain drain within the higher education sector, focusing specifically on private universities situated in Sichuan Province, China. Brain drain, the emigration of highly skilled individuals from one region or country to another, has been a growing concern globally, impacting various sectors including academia. Private universities in China, despite their significant contributions to the higher education landscape, face unique challenges related to talent retention and attraction, which have implications for regional development and competitiveness. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study aims to investigate the factors contributing to brain drain among faculty and researchers within private universities in Sichuan Province. Through surveys and interviews conducted with faculty members, administrators, and key stakeholders, the study examines the push and pull factors influencing their decisions to migrate or remain within the institution and region. Additionally, the study explores the impact of government policies, institutional strategies, and socio-economic factors on brain drain dynamics. Preliminary findings suggest that factors such as inadequate research funding, limited career advancement opportunities, disparities in compensation, and perceived lack of academic freedom contribute to the brain drain phenomenon within private universities in Sichuan Province. Furthermore, the study identifies strategies and interventions that may mitigate brain drain and enhance talent retention, including targeted investment in research infrastructure, competitive compensation packages, professional development opportunities, and supportive institutional policies. By shedding light on the challenges and dynamics of brain drain within private higher education institutions in Sichuan Province, this study contributes to the existing literature on talent mobility and regional development. The findings may inform policymakers, university administrators, and stakeholders in devising effective strategies to address brain drain, foster talent retention, and promote sustainable development in the higher education sector. Further research is recommended to validate and extend the findings of this exploratory study.

The psychoactive plant Datura metel appears across a range of traditions in premodern South Asia preserved in texts. Among those traditions is the form of tantric Buddhism (Vajrayāna) located in the yoginī tantras. In Vajrayāna works, the plant is most prominently used in instructions for bringing about one or more of the magical acts (ṣaṭkarman). This paper explores the possibility that datura was consumed for its hallucination-inducing potential by considering how the plant was viewed and used in premodern South Asia through an ethnobotanical approach to relevant texts. I argue that the material potency of the plant as a dangerous poison, well established in Sanskrit medical literature from an early period, gave it a magical potency that made it a favored ingredient in several hostile magic rites (abhicāra) found in the yoginī tantras. I suggest that the line between material and magical is an inappropriate distinction to draw when examining these tantras, and that the most responsible way to approach the use of psychotropic plants in a premodern culture is by examining what actors from that culture said about the plant rather than relying on our existing knowledge of the effect of that plant.

Bariatric surgery is the most effective method of treating obesity and related metabolic disorders. Bariatric surgery leads to a steady loss of excess body weight and compensation of comorbidities associated with obesity in the first postoperative period. In the context of LSG, one of the potential complications is the failure of the staple suture line.
Currently, there are many methods for correcting this complication. Endoscopic methods are new and promising directions for the correction of this condition. Endoscopic treatment of failure after LRRR in patients with morbid obesity is becoming an important aspect of modern surgical practice.
Endoscopic methods, such as stenting, clipping of the defect with standard clips and clipping devices (OTSC), using a vacuum-aspiration system, are effective in repairing the wall defect without the need for repeated open surgery. This is important, especially in the context of patients with morbid obesity, for whom repeated surgical intervention may be significant.
The study and implementation of endoscopic methods of repair of leakage in patients after LRR is an important area for improving the results of treatment of this special patient category.
Hacking Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Gibian Davey
Published: February 2024

Sheds light on the ability to hack AI and the technology industry’s lack of effort to secure vulnerabilities.

We are accelerating towards the automated future. But this new future brings new risks. It is no surprise that after years of development and recent breakthroughs, artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming businesses, consumer electronics, and the national security landscape. But like all digital technologies, AI can fail and be left vulnerable to hacking. The ability to hack AI and the technology industry’s lack of effort to secure it is thought by experts to be the biggest unaddressed technology issue of our time. Hacking Artificial Intelligence sheds light on these hacking risks, explaining them to those who can make a difference.

Today, very few people—including those in influential business and government positions—are aware of the new risks that accompany automated systems. While society hurdles ahead with AI, we are also rushing towards a security and safety nightmare. This book is the first-ever layman’s guide to the new world of hacking AI and introduces the field to thousands of readers who should be aware of these risks. From a security perspective, AI is today where the internet was 30 years ago. It is wide open and can be exploited. Readers from leaders to AI enthusiasts and practitioners alike are shown how AI hacking is a real risk to organizations and are provided with a framework to assess such risks, before problems arise.
Running Sideways
Authors: Davis Pauline
Published: February 2024

Winner, Autobiography/Memoir, International Book Awards, 2023

Winner, Biography/Autobiography, Track and Field Writers of America (TAFWA) Book Award, 2022

A raw, uplifting story from one of the most important hidden figures in track and field history.

When Pauline Davis first began to run, it wasn’t with any thought of future Olympic glory. A product of the poor neighborhood of Bain Town in The Bahamas, she carried the family’s buckets every day to fetch fresh water—running sideways, sprinting barefoot from bullies, to get the buckets of water home without spilling. But when a seasoned track coach saw Pauline sprinting, he saw the heart of a champion.

In Running Sideways, Pauline Davis shares her inspiring story. Born and raised in the ghetto, Pauline fought through poverty, inequality, racism, and political machinations from her own country to beat the odds and become a two-time Olympic gold medalist, the first individual gold medalist in sprinting from the Caribbean, the first Black woman on the World Athletics council, and a central figure in the Russian anti-doping campaign. A casualty herself of the doping plague that hit track and field—she wouldn’t be awarded her individual gold medal until Marion Jones was infamously stripped of her medals for doping—Pauline dedicated her years on the World Athletics council to clean sport and fair play.

Running Sideways is a book about determination, faith, focus, and an incredible will to succeed. It’s about a trailblazer in women’s sports, not just in The Bahamas, not just in track and field, but on the global stage.
Effective Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, Inclusion, and Anti-Racism Practices for Museums
Authors: Shellman Cecile
Published: February 2024

Equal parts autobiography, cautionary tale, and actionable recommendations, this book is as candid and vulnerable as the author insists all seekers of justice be when they embark on a full-scale DEAI initiative anchored in anti-oppression.

Since the beginning of her professional museum journey, Cecile Shellman—like many who have been marginalized by systems ill-prepared to support them—has had to engage in cultural realms in which she was not fully represented and where she was sometimes misrepresented or understood. It’s difficult being the “only one in the room,” while trying to build relations and succeed in your chosen career. Ms. Shellman shares personal relatable stories that explain how harmful inattention to Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion can be to individuals and to the group dynamic. This rare peek behind the curtain of museum culture leaves no holds barred.

The telling is done in an entirely approachable, if humbling way. Poignant illustrations and vivid verbal descriptions are designed to take you further into the author’s experience as well as providing moments of reflection and humor.

Tales from the field—anonymized stories describing microagressions, discrimination, barriers, and roadblocks in the field—are accompanied by questions to spark dialogue and engender empathetic responses. These anecdotes refer to those who share the author’s identity and circumstance as well as those who don’t. As with all stories, lessons and messages about culture and patterns are told as a point of caution. What might you do if you were participants in these events? How can you build your emotional intelligence to a desired level for your current museum and personal needs?

Finally, there are calls to action at the personal, interpersonal, organizational, and systemic levels. True transformation requires complete reassessment of norms bolstered by a broken society. This book provides strategies for implementing change.
Historical Dictionary of Egypt
Authors: Goldschmidt, Jr. Arthur
Published: February 2024

Egypt is the world’s oldest continuous country, with a recorded past of over 6,000 years. Often invaded, conquered, and occupied by foreign armies, Egypt has never lost its identity. The Egyptians of today, although they have changed their language once and their religion twice, descend mainly from the Egyptians who built the Giza Pyramids and the Temple of Karnak, who served Alexander the Great and his heirs, who submitted to Augustus Caesar and raised much of the grain that fed the Roman Empire, who started Christian monasticism and the veneration of the Virgin Mary, and who advanced and sustained Muslim learning in what is now the world’s oldest functioning university. It was and is one of the most important countries in the world.

Historical Dictionary of Egypt, Fifth Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 600 cross-referenced entries on important personalities as well as aspects of the country’s politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Egypt.
Historical Dictionary of Libya
Authors: St John Ronald Bruce
Published: February 2024

Of all the countries in North Africa and the Middle East, less has been known about Libya for decades. Only recently have we begun to appreciate the complexity of Libya’s turbulent past, including the revolution in 2011 in which demands for better living conditions and more job opportunities led to widespread protests. When the Muammar al-Qaddafi regime responded with force to these peaceful protests, killing scores of unarmed civilians, the protesters called for regime change. In what came to be known as the February 17 Revolution, the 42-year-old Qaddafi regime was overthrown, and Qaddafi was killed in October 2011. Over the next decade, Libya endured a series of interim, transitional governments in a prolonged struggle to draft a new constitution and to elect a democratic national government.

Historical Dictionary of Libya, Sixth Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 500 cross-referenced entries on important personalities as well as aspects of the country’s politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Libya.
