Os Judeus no Quarto Evangelho à Luz de JO 9,22
Authors: Pires Dionivaldo
Published: June 2024

Resumo:o objetivo do escrito Ã© colocar em pauta uso e semÃ¢ntica do termo os judeus no Quarto Evangelho, destacando qual a identidade e funÃ§Ã£o que o mesmo assume. Para tanto, serÃ¡ considerado o contexto de separaÃ§Ã£o revelado pelo texto de Jo 9,22. Em Jo 9,22 temos uma fotografia com dupla face: a face de JÃ¢mnia, representada pelos fariseus e, portanto, neles percebemos a identidade e a funÃ§Ã£o dos judeus no Quarto Evangelho; na outra face vemos, no ex-cego, uma comunidade sendo expulsa. Ã? nesse clima conflitivo e de autoafirmaÃ§Ã£o que, no nÃ­vel do texto, o Quarto Evangelho nÃ£o Ã© antijudaico, mas revela polÃªmica e ruptura, e, sobretudo a afirmaÃ§Ã£o da identidade de uma comunidade antes tida como cega, mendiga e sem nome.

Memória, Resistência e Alegria no Deuteronômio
Authors: Ribeiro Valdivino Souza , Barros Hébert Vieira , Silva Rosemary Francisca Neves
Published: June 2024

Resumo: foram muitos os processos de dominação na história. A vida do povo da Bíblia não foi diferente. A luta pela terra está intensamente presente na Bíblia. A terra é sinal da benção. Ela é promessa e realização da ação de Deus. A Tradição Deuteronomista compreende a ação de Deus e prática religiosa a parte do tempo e da monarquia. O Deuteronômio é a certeza de celebrar e compreender a Lei como alegria da promessa e da conquistada. A condição de escravos não sufocou a esperança e certeza da promessa. Mas a vida na terra passa por processos de centralização e tentativas de exploração usando a religião. Entretanto a resistência permanece e nas celebrações perpetuam a certeza do projeto originário. A vida é um todo a ser celebrado e vivenciado. Dá-se na certeza e alegria na terra onde brota leite e mel.

O ENSINO SUPERIOR E A SOCIEDADE DA MERCADORIA
Authors: Almeida Liliane Barros , Barcelos Simone Magalhães Vieira
Published: June 2024

O esforço, nesse artigo, não será somente o de constatar a situação da sociedade mercantil, mas também intenciona-se reconhecer as bases filosóficas e históricas que constituíram o discurso da pedagogia moderna, tendo sempre em vista que os discursos veiculados pelas mídias e, também, pelos manuais que contêm a ideia de liberdade, foram e são construídos intencionalmente para sustentar a dinâmica interna de manutenção da sociedade capitalista. A educação, nesse sentido, reconhecida historicamente, coloca-se como preparação do homem para ser, viver e conhecer de acordo com a ordem presente no discurso da sociedade moderna. Daí a pertinência e a relevância deste estudo para a compreensão de lógica massificadora e adestradora dos sujeitos.

Authors: Marinho Thayana Maria Olimpio , Avellar de Aquino Thiago Antonio , Gomes Wanessa de Macêdo , Da Silva Sandra Souza
Published: June 2024

O objetivo do artigo foi conhecer os desafios atuais no âmbito da escola e compreender o papel da espiritualidade na Cultura de Paz. A escola é considerada como um dos pilares da educação, construindo a cidadania e formação de uma sociedade e de uma nação. O processo de adoecimento desses jovens vem crescendo e se faz necessário um olhar para isto mais atento e cuidadoso. Novas diretrizes propostas pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), incluíram a dimensão espiritualidade no conceito multidimensional de saúde. Espiritualidade, por sua vez, pode ser entendida por toda experiência que produz mudança profunda no interior de cada pessoa podendo levá-la a uma integração pessoal e com o mundo. Nesse sentido, a cultura da paz aliada a espiritualidade proporciona a educação o senso de identidade e propósito significativo à vida, permitindo criar um cenário enriquecedor que acrescenta qualidade aos discursos e práticas educacionais na escola.
BUSCAI EM PRIMEIRO LUGAR A JUSTIÇA DE DEUS: UMA PERSPECTIVA DO ENSINO E DA EDUCAÇÃO EM MT 6,25-34
Authors: Costa Rubens Alves
Published: June 2024

O Sermão do Monte inserido no Evangelho de Mateus capítulos 5-7 trata-se de um ensino para a educação. Ele foi editado pelo Evangelista Mateus nos anos 80 da era comum a partir dos ditos que Jesus anunciou anteriormente, anos 30-33. O artigo aborda o fragmento do capítulo seis, em seus versos 25 a 34 a partir da perspectiva de que os atores envolvidos com o conteúdo e a editoração dele pretendiam denunciar o status vigente de falta da liberdade. Os ensinos para a educação de Jesus e do Evangelista Mateus são revolucionários e constituem na aplicação de diversas práxis. Eles transformam a sociedade e ameaçam a estrutura de poder vigente. Ficou evidenciado que a justiça de Deus é uma eficiente ferramenta para a libertação dos status dominadores tanto aqueles dos dias de Jesus da comunidade do Evangelista Mateus bem como os status do decurso a existência atual.
PAULO FREIRE E DOM PAULO EVARISTO ARNS: HOMENS À FRENTE DO SEU TEMPO
Authors: Silva Eliane , Siqueira Romilson Martins
Published: June 2024

O presente artigo discute a fertilidade do pensamento de Paulo Freire e Dom Evaristo Arns no ano em que se comemora o centenário de nascimento desses dois expoentes. Trata, sobretudo, de explicitar os fundamentos epistemológicos, políticos e humanos presentes no conjunto da obra desses autores sem, contudo, conciliar, equiparar ou sobrepor suas ideias. Cada um no seu contexto histórico foi capaz de expressar de maneira contundente um humanismo cristão profundamente comprometido com a questão humana e com a transformação social e política do seu tempo. A defesa pelos direitos humanos e a luta contra a ditadura marcam a posição desses autores por um projeto educativo alicerçado na dialética como forma de compreender o mundo pela contradição e pela luta contra a desigualdade social. Nesse sentido, destaca-se o ver-julgar-agir como processo capaz de traduzir o modo gnosiológico proposto pelos autores para desvelar a realidade e aquilo que a constitui como fenômeno de opressão, mas, também, de libertação.

A comparative study between curb-65 and psi/port score as predictors for ICU admission and mortality in community acquired pneumonia patients presenting to a tertiary care hospital
Authors: Chauhan Amit Pravin , Majmundar Aarjuv , Lakhani Sucheta , Lakhani Jitendra
Published: June 2024

Despite recent advances in clinical medicine, mortality due to CAP has remained relatively the same. Therefore, early recognition for ICU admission plays a pivotal role in management of CAP. PSI/PORT (Pneumonia Severity Index/ Pneumonia Patient Outcome Research Team) score and CURB-65 (Confusion, Uremia, Respiratory rate, BP, Age > 65 years) are the two severity assessment scores that have extensively been used by the clinicians to distinguish between high risk and low risk patients. This study aims at comparing the predictive value of these two scores for ICU admission and mortality.

The information required for calculating CURB-65 and PSI was extracted with careful history taking, patient assessment and necessary investigations. Patients with >18 years of age, diagnosed clinically and radiologically with CAP were included in the study.CURB-65 and PSI scores were determined in a total of 131 patients on admission. Based on careful clinical assessment and judgment of treating physician 60 patients were admitted in ICU whereas 71 patients were admitted in medical ward.

Out of 60 patients admitted in ICU 23 died. The ability to predict ICU admission was almost similar for PSI/PORT score (AUC 0.9605; 95% CI 0.9277-0.9933) and CURB-65 (AUC 0.9694; 95% CI 0.9368-1.9714). The ability to predict mortality was almost similar for PSI/PORT score (AUC 0.9196; 95% CI 0.8670-0.9722) and CURB-65 (AUC 0.9214 95% CI 0.8696-0.9732).

CURB-65 score was found almost similar in predicting ICU admission amongst patients coming with CAP to our hospital when compared to PSI/PORT score and when predicting mortality in patients with community-acquired pneumonia, CURB-65 and PSI/PORT score appear to have comparable specificity and sensitivity. Considering the simplicity, CURB-65 score could be preferred over PSI/PORT score. However, larger studies are required to know the exact Indian scenario.

Despite of recent advances in the field of medical science the mortality due to CAP has remained relatively the same. Therefore, early diagnosis and admission to ICU with standard treatment play a pivot role in management of patients with CAP. Two scoring system, PSI/PORT score and CURB-65 score, are widely being used to differentiate between low risk and high risk patients. We undertook this study for comparing the predictive value of these two scores for ICU admission and mortality.
Comparison of real-time ultrasonography with waveform capnography in verifying endotracheal tube location- An observational study
Authors: Sahana Tofazzel Haque , Das Tarapada , Tiwari Madhusudan , Das Sabyasachi , Basu Sekhar Ranjan
Published: June 2024

Immediate post-intubation confirmation of endotracheal tube requires direct observational or secondary gadgets-dependent measures having variable sensitivity and specificity. In this study, dynamic real-time ultrasonography is used for the evaluation of endotracheal tube. The correlation between the gold standard test(Capnography) and the unconventional test(Ultrasonography) is also evaluated.

One hundred ASA PS 1, and ASA PS 2 patients were evaluated for endotracheal intubation using real-time ultrasonography. The desired endotracheal intubation was further confirmed by using time capnography. Victorious tracheal intubation was identified using some radiological signs, only one air-mucosa interface with a comet-tail artefact and enhanced posterior acoustic shadowing indicative of endotracheal intubation. Two air-mucosa interfaces with comet-tail artefacts with posterior shadowing were indicative of oesophageal intubation.

The mean (SD) ages of the studied patients were 41.25±7.76 Yrs. A total of 87% of patients had endotracheal intubation and 13% had oesophageal intubation based on ultrasonography scan findings. Capnography finding was 91% endotracheal intubations, 9% were true oesophageal. The true positive and true negative rate, positive predictive value and negative predictive values of real-time ultrasonography were 95%, (95% confidence interval (CI) 88% to 98%) 100% (95% CI 62% to 100%), 100% (95% CI 94% to 100%), 69% (95% CI 38% to 89%) respectively. Kappa (k) value was 0.8.

Ultrasonography is a portable sensitive screening equipment for ETT position confirmation. There is a strong association between USG findings with time capnography results.
An influence of preheating composites on microleakage- An invitro study
Authors: Navalagunda Preeti S , Prasad B.S Keshava
Published: June 2024

Resin composites have become one of the widely used restorative materials in the field of dentistry. Resin composite Pre-heating is a recent innovative method that is clinically beneficial by improving handling and marginal adaptation of the resin to the tooth.

The study aims to determine the effect of temperature on the degree of microleakage in resin composite restorations.

In the present study, Class 1 cavity was prepared in 30 extracted non-carious human premolars and divided into two groups. Group A (n=15) - filled with nano-hybrid resin composite (3M™ Filtek™ Z350 XT Universal Composite) at room temperature. Group B (n=15) - filled with the same resin preheated and then checked for micro-leakage under SEM. Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the mean Marginal Leakage scores between the 2 groups.

There was a statistically significant difference in the micro-leakage score between group A and group B. Group B showed minimal or no micro-leakage in comparison to Group A.

Preheating the resin composite has better adaptability to the walls thus reducing micro-leakage and postoperative sensitivity.
Healing of periapical lesion by non-surgical endodontic therapy: A case series
Authors: Ramesh Athira , Pillai Rajesh , A Afzal , Santhosh Anakha , G.S Arunima , K. V Sandeep
Published: June 2024

Trauma to the anterior teeth can lead to pulp necrosis and subsequent periapical lesions. Most of the cases remain undetected unless found in an IOPAR, the tooth gets discoloured or gets secondarily infected. In such cases, non-surgical endodontic therapy can be done as the first line of management with regular follow up. Surgical approach is indicated only if the non- surgical approach becomes a failure. A series of two cases with large periapical lesion following trauma to the maxillary anteriors were treated with multivisit non –surgical endodontic therapy. Inter-appointment dressings were given. Patients were recalled for evaluation of healing. Six months follow up radiographs showed healing of the lesion with significant increase in the radiopacity suggestive of bony healing. For the treatment of periapical lesions, non-surgical endodontic therapy should be considered as first line treatment option as it proves to be a more conservative approach.
Quest for hidden alley- hide & Seek in mandibular anteriors
Authors: Priya Shanmuga , Warhadpande Manjusha M , Dakshindas Darshan M , Raina Sadhana
Published: June 2024

Failure is the good teacher than success. When returning to the root canal system for retreatment, there is always a lesson to be learned. An often cited reason for endodontic failure is the inability to identify, access, treat, and fill every single canal. Mandibular incisor teeth are not an outlier to this rule. Mandibular incisors are one such tooth which is regarded as least difficult for endodontic treatment. But the intricacy of the mandibular incisors internal anatomy presents us with various challenges during root canal treatment. Prevention of missing anatomy commences with adequate pre-operative radiographs, notwithstanding the limitations of radiography in estimating the number of canals and the presence of auxiliary canals and anastomoses. Without a second thought, a correct access cavity preparation is crucial to localising the root canal orifices, and this also calls for a comprehension of the tooth's internal architecture. This case series highlights the non- surgical endodontic retreatment of mandibular incisors with missed canal.

V raziskavi smo razvili biočrnilo za 3D tiskanje z vključitvijo človeških kožnih celic, sestavljeno iz alginata, metilceluloze in nanofibrilarne celuloze v celičnem mediju. 3D biotiskalnik omogoča ustvarjanje večslojnih ogrodij, ki simulirajo naravno celično mikrookolje kože. Zaradi potrebe po ponovljivosti smo biočrnilo hranili v zamrzovalniku in ga kasneje odtajali. Reološke lastnosti materiala po odtalitvi bistveno vplivajo na njegovo viskoznost, kar vpliva na možnost 3D tiskanja in stabilnost natisnjenih ogrodij. Ugotovili smo, da temperatura zamrzovanja pomembno vpliva na te lastnosti, kar je ključno za nadaljnji razvoj in vitro modela kože, ki je obetaven za predklinične in klinične raziskave.

En los últimos años, la migración digital se ha vuelto omnipresente, obligando a las pequeñas empresas a adaptarse para no perder relevancia en el mercado. En 2020, Perú experimentó un aumento poblacional del 1.3%, con 2.4 millones de nuevos usuarios de internet y 3 millones de perfiles adicionales en redes sociales, representando el 12.5% de la población. La pandemia impulsó la proliferación de emprendimientos digitales en el país, que se sitúa nueve puntos porcentuales por encima del promedio de Latinoamérica en alcance en redes sociales. En términos de educación financiera, Perú ocupa el séptimo lugar en la región, con solo el 28% de la población manteniendo un conocimiento significativo en temas financieros. Según el BBVA, 4 de cada 10 adultos peruanos poseen productos financieros. La ASBANC destaca que el conocimiento financiero contribuye a la inclusión y estabilidad financiera, así como a una toma de decisiones informada. La migración digital a gran escala en Perú condujo a muchos emprendimientos a desarrollar software sin un marco de trabajo adecuado, resultando en una gestión deficiente del producto y problemas asociados con el tiempo y los costos. En respuesta a esta problemática, como estudiantes de la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas, nos proponemos investigar y desarrollar un Modelo de Product Management para Emprendimientos durante los cursos de Taller de Proyecto I y II. Nuestra meta es ofrecer una solución óptima para abordar los desafíos planteados por la gestión ineficiente del software en el contexto de la migración digital.

Digital IDs and Digital Payments – Opportunities and Challenges for Tax Administration
Authors: Santoro Fabrizio , Prichard Wilson , Mascagni Giulia
Published: June 2024

Tax administrations in Africa and, more broadly, low-income countries (LICs), are increasingly investing in advanced digital technologies, in an effort to build more effective, rules-based and efficient tax systems. Those efforts fit within broader government efforts towards e-government and the establishment of digital public infrastructures (DPI). 1 While these efforts to digitalise tax administration are multi faceted, affecting all aspects of administration, recent years have seen growing attention to the potential impacts of digital ID systems (DIS) and digital merchant payments (DMP), both of which are linked closely to broader discussions of the potential of DPI to strengthen development outcomes. This growing attention has been driven by hopes that building such systems can contribute to significant improvements in tax systems and revenue collection as part of broader and ambitious digitalisation efforts undertaken by African governments (World Bank 2016; IMF 2020).
Pathways Into the Tax Net: Better Ways to Register African Taxpayers
Authors: Groening Edward , Moore Mick , Mukama Denis , Waiswa Ronald
Published: June 2024

Systems for registering taxpayers in sub-Saharan Africa are often poorly designed and managed. There are three characteristic problems: the process of registering new taxpayers is not sufficiently targeted on the people and businesses likely to be liable to pay tax; too many (nominal, unproductive) taxpayers are registered; and taxpayer identification (ID) details in the tax register are inaccurate. These problems interact perversely – each exacerbates the others. They will all to a large degree be solved, almost naturally, as a result of: (a) greater digitisation of tax administration generally, and (b) further interfacing between the digital systems of tax agencies and those of other (public sector) organisations, notably cross-government ID databases. But this takes time. There are significant shorter-term registration problems that need policy attention. In part they have not received it yet because these problems are rare in richer countries, which still exercise a huge influence on the tax reform agenda in Africa and other low-income regions. On the basis of recent experience in a range of African countries, we list some taxpayer registration practices that should be abandoned or used sparingly, and some that should be used more widely, to better target registration on those businesses and individuals who should be paying tax.
Taxation Policies, Processes, and Performances of Mobile Money Providers in Côte d’Ivoire
Authors: Niesten Hannelore
Published: June 2024

This policy brief examines the effects of cumulative, specific 7.2 per cent taxes on mobile money (MM) service providers in Côte d’Ivoire. It assesses the unique tax framework, which deviates from the consumer-centric trend observed in many African countries, where end-users typically bear the burden. Initially targeting telecom companies, the tax expanded to encompass MM providers created by licensed telecom operators (Orange Money, MTN Money, and Moov Money) and, later, all companies providing MM operations. Concerns over potential investment declines persist, yet concrete evidence is absent. The data available suggests a decrease in MM turnover, partially due to lowered MM service prices, though telecom regulator reports note a lack of communication in MM revenue reporting. If specific taxes were reduced or abolished, the funds originally allocated could be reinvested, particularly to bolster agent commissions in rural zones, given the heightened competition between diverse payment service players in Côte d’Ivoire. The study emphasises the importance of a level playing field with other money transfer services provided by banks, local businesses, and fintech.

Published: June 2024

Acute iron poisoning is an exceedingly rare occurrence, mainly when resulting from intentional ingestion in adults. It can lead to multi-organ toxicity and, in severe cases, may evolve into acute liver failure and cardiovascular collapse, which are the main causes of death. The clinical outcome is largely dependent on the amount of elemental iron ingested and the readiness of treatment, which includes support, early intestinal decontamination and deferoxamine. Despite timely intervention, acute liver failure can be life-threatening, with liver transplantation being the only potentially life-saving measure. In this case report, we describe a case of severe acute iron poisoning due to intentional ingestion that led to fulminant liver failure, which was successfully managed with liver transplantation.

DONOR DUE DILIGENCE, EDUCATION, DONOR STATEMENTS, AND FINANCIAL REPORT TRANSPARENCY AS A PREVENTION OF MONEY LAUNDERING IN ISLAMIC PHILANTHROPY
Authors: Setiawan Nanang
Published: June 2024

This study aims to explore the potential for money laundering in Islamic philanthropic institutions and how to prevent it. This study uses a descriptive-qualitative method with a literature study approach. Islamic philanthropic activities consist of three activities: collection, management, and distribution. The results show that the potential for criminal acts of money laundering in Sharia philanthropic institutions is in fund collection activities. The potential for money laundering arises from donors with a donation value of more than IDR 500 million, with the condition that the donor does not provide information regarding the source of the funds, so it is not known whether the origin of the funds comes from legal or illegal activities. This study provides recommendations for preventing money laundering through the implementation of donor due diligence, education regarding money laundering warnings to the public, blank donor statements stating that the funds deposited are not from money laundering activities resulting from criminal acts or other illegal sources, and maintaining transparency in financial reporting for the collection and distribution of funds. This study contributes to helping Islamic philanthropic institutions solve problems related to money laundering crimes and formulate effective prevention models for anticipating money laundering crimes.
INTERPRETATIONS OF NAFKAH, GENDER RELATIONS, AND MOTIVATIONS FOR DIVORCE: A CASE STUDY OF DIVORCE LAWSUITS AT THE KEDIRI CITY RELIGIOUS COURT
Authors: Na'mah Ulin , Rachmatulloh Mochamamd Agus
Published: June 2024

The phenomenon of high divorce in Indonesian religious courts or Muslim communities causes government anxiety and raises cynical public opinion. Economic considerations are frequently referred to as the excuse for the wife's lawsuit. Data from the Kediri City Religious Court shows that there is a tendency for wives to file for divorce first. Not without justification, it is frequently prompted by the husband's perceived inability to satisfy the wife's requirements. The use of nafkah reasons in divorce can reveal that there is a contradictory tendency; on the one hand, women tend to charge a nafkah to men, and on the other hand, there is a tendency not to charge a nafkah to men or are willing to work to make ends meet. Divorce may not be a factor in limited economic conditions, but the perception of nafkah obligations imposed on husbands. It is critical to recognize that attempts to avoid divorce cannot be based just on economic empowerment but rather on cultural and religious ideas on partnerships and the separation of husband and wife roles. , this article examines the relationship between a contested divorce and economic conditions and perceptions of gender relations in the family, especially in earning a nafkah, to clarify this contradiction. Using a phenomenological approach. The economic reasons that have led wives to divorce are solely due to emptiness and even an emotional drought of love between husbands' wives. The indulgence of husband and wife in dividing household roles from transitional to egalitarian ideology also requires attention and respect for each other.

Published: June 2024

The research method used in this research is qualitative research, a descriptive study type. The researcher uses qualitative research methods to obtain, study, and understand the phenomenon through in-depth data regarding the community's perspective on the practice of nista marriages in Pegayaman Village, Sukasada, Buleleng, Bali. This type of research uses descriptive research to explain and examine the phenomenon of nista marriages in Pegayaman Village from an 'Urf perspective. The researcher's data collection techniques are observation, documentation and interviews with informants from three categories, including other key informants from local community leaders, primary informants who are residents, and complementary informants who are migrants who live in the village and work in the village office. People in Bali use levels as identities according to their position, especially the Hindu population, which starts from the highest Brahmana, Ksatria, Waisya, and Sudra, the lowest caste.
In contrast to the community in Pegayaman, where the majority of the population is Muslim, the level is implemented within the scope of marriage. Local traditions, empowerment, and community perceptions regarding nista marriages are the benchmarks for researchers analysing ancestral heritage from an Urf perspective. Binary opposition is used to explore the relationship between Islamic teachings and ancestral cultural heritage. The existence of 'Urf about Islamic teachings is the basis for the empirical facts of nista marriages in Pegayaman village. In studying the data obtained by researchers regarding slanderous marriages from the perspective of 'urf, it is limited to 'urf fasid, namely in nista marriages as the lowest level of marriage, which is contrary to the law and enriches the elements of family formation.

Published: June 2024

Online sales often need to be more balanced between the ordered goods and the goods received by the consumer. Having COD is one of the solutions to the problem. In the Islamic economy, the acceptance of goods and payment is done at the same time. The study aims to identify and analyze the behaviour of Millennials in daring shopping with the Cash on the Delivery (COD) payment system, which is performed qualitatively using explanatory methods. The findings explain that the reviews of the people around heavily influence the perception of daring shopping with COD in the millennial generation and are also affected by certain factors, namely price, advertising, location, and lifestyle. The behaviour of the Millennial Generation in daring sales carried out with the Cash-on-delivery (COD) system, according to the Islamic economic perspective, has been appropriate due to the sale activities becoming more practical as well as time and cost-efficient. (COD). From the Islamic economic perspective, payment in Cash when goods are received can be regarded as a practice consistent with the principles of justice and caution.

Published: June 2024

It is known that the Circle of Willis (CoW) variations and white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are common in migraine. This retrospective study aims to investigate the relationship between the CoW variations and WMHs in migraine without aura (MWoA) (n=38) and migraine with aura (MWA) (n=40) patients. Demographic, clinical and radiological findings (the CoW variations and WMH burden) of the patients were recorded, and the relationship between the variables was evaluated in both groups. The overall incomplete COW, incomplete anterior or vertebrobasilar portion of the CoW, or the presence of fetal PCA showed no significant difference between the MWoA and MWA groups (p > 0.05). An incomplete posterior portion of the CoW was significantly higher in the MWA group than in the MWoA group (p = 0.034). In the WMA group, the visual aura was present in 72% of patients with the overall incomplete CoW; all of these were posterior portion variations of the CoW. When the WMH burden was compared, no significant difference was seen between the MWoA and MWA groups (p > 0.05). Among patients with the CoW variations in the MWoA group, the rate of patients without WMHs was significantly higher (p = 0.030). No significant difference was observed between the CoW variations and WMH burden in the MWA group (p > 0.05). In conclusion incomplete posterior portion of the CoW is common in MWA, and this variation is associated with visual aura but unrelated to WMH burden.

Operating at extreme temperatures is the biggest challenge for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in practical applications, as both the capacity and cycling stability of LIBs are largely decreased due to the sluggish reaction kinetics of the cathodes. Therefore, developing suitable cathode materials is the key point to tackling this challenge. Lithium vanadium phosphate [Li3V2(PO4)3, LVP] is a promising cathode with good features of a high working voltage, high intrinsic ionic diffusion coefficiency, and stable olivine structure in a wide temperature range, although it is perplexed by the low electronic conductivity. To tackle this issue, a series of nitrogen-doped carbon network (NC) coated LVP composites were synthesized using a hydrothermal-assisted sol-gel method. Among them, the LVP@NC-0.8 sample exhibited a remarkable tolerance at a high charging cutoff voltage of 4.8 V in a wide temperature range. Full cells of LVP@NC-0.8||graphite exhibited superior performance at different current rates. Moreover, the reaction mechanism of the LVP@NC-0.8 electrode was proved by in-situ X-ray diffraction technique, demonstrating that temperature was a critical factor that contributed to the sluggish phase transformation with high voltage hysteresis at low temperature and severe crystal structure distortion at high temperature. Theoretical calculations further demonstrated the superiority of the NC for high electronic conductivity and reduced lithium transportation barriers. The enhanced electrochemical performances of LVP-based cathode materials have provided the possible application of LIBs in a wide temperature range.
