Concern about avoiding unplanned pregnancies motivates the use of contraceptive methods, but the effective transmission of knowledge about these methods is limited. The doctor-patient relationship plays a crucial role in providing guidance on contraception, aiming to meet patients' individual needs. The objective of this integrative review was to investigate knowledge and adherence to contraceptive methods in young adults, addressing adherence, reasons for choice, consequences and adaptability. 23 articles were reviewed, of which seven met the inclusion criteria. The studies analyzed highlighted the importance of considering social, cultural and individual factors when choosing contraceptives, aiming to improve the services offered. The results indicated that most women use short-term methods, but there is growing interest in long-term methods. The review also addressed the relationship between hormonal contraceptives and mental health, as well as risk factors associated with their use. Raising awareness about contraception from an early age and inclusive approaches are crucial to promoting adequate sexual and reproductive health among young people. This study highlights the need for a patient-centered approach to ensure effective and equitable contraceptive services, as well as highlighting the importance of early education about contraception and sexual health.
Teaching Practices in Biology, History, and Geography, from Plants ritualistic and medicinal rituals used in Umbanda terreiro in southeastern Brazil
Authors: Souza Romulo Wagner Oliveira de , Duarte-Silva Erica
Published: May 2024

The starting point of the present research is to know the medicinal and ritualistic plants of the Umbanda terreiro in São Mateus-ES. As this is an anthropological research, there is this starting point but the arrival point cannot be predicted. Umbanda is an Afro-American, and Afro-Brazilian, marginalized religion that underwent a process of Christianization when its practicing people arrived on Brazilian soil. Based on this, it is an “outside” cultural practice of Western Christian scientific knowledge, and it is also a marginalized reality. The specific objectives are: (1) To carry out a survey of plant species in the Umbanda terreiro; (2) Carry out a survey of plant species of a ritualistic nature; (3) Build a witness collection of useful plants from the Umbanda terreiro through exicatas, dried herbs and a live collection in pots; (4) Investigate the biological name from the common name collected, and the origin of the plant; (5) Develop interdisciplinary teaching practices in History, Geography and Biology from the knowledge collected; (6) Interview religious leaders of the Umbanda terreiro to learn about the plants used, common name, part of the plant used and how it is used. As methodological paths we will use the ethnography of school practice or anthropology of non-anthropologists for educational purposes; Malinowski's participant observation; Geertz's unstructured interviews; ethnographic reports and content analysis. For ethnobotanical work, the Hanazaki methodology will be used. For the preparation of teaching practices, the work will be based on Freire, Romão and Duarte-Silva.

The influence of Zona1 training on the periodization of the race
Authors: Andres Leandro Rubio
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the importance and impact of zonal workouts – a level of training with low to moderate intensity, which focuses on increasing cardiovascular endurance and improving aerobic metabolism. Through this research, we seek to understand how this methodology can improve the performance of runners in the long term. Running is a complex sport that requires a proper combination of speed, endurance, strength, and strategy. While it's commonly thought that running faster in workouts will lead to better performance during races, recent studies suggest that integrating training periods into zone1 may be equally or even more beneficial. Using a quantitative and qualitative methodological approach, this study aims to analyze empirical data from professional and amateur runners to provide insights into the benefits of zone1 workouts in improving running performance. The research will also explore the physiological principles behind this training methodology to give a scientific insight into the implications of zone training1. It is hoped that the results of this study will contribute to the understanding of the importance of different types of training in running, encouraging athletes and professionals in the area to consider the inclusion of zonal training1 in their training programs.
Anthropogenic activities and the introduction of exotic species negatively impact the lotic ecosystem of the Trici River (Tauá, Ceará)
Authors: Lima Silvio César Gomes de , Andrade José Eduardo de
Published: May 2024

The city of Tauá, in the region of Inhamuns (about 350 kilometers from the capital Fortaleza), with a population of 54,271 inhabitants (Demographic census carried out in 2007). The city of Tauá is part of the municipality of Tauá, which has an area of 6,390 km² with a population of 230,538 inhabitants. The presence of vegetation in the lotic ecosystems of the Trici River and the lentic ecosystems of the Parque da Cidade lagoon, which are part of the natural landscape of the Inhamuns region, is conspicuous. However, for decades it has become evident that anthropogenic activities (raw sewage; uncontrolled burning; territorial expansion of neighborhoods; dumping of non-recyclable garbage, among other situations) are increasingly present in ecosystems, particularly in the lotic ecosystem of the Trici River, which runs through the city of Tauá. The objective of the present work was to carry out an initial study on the environmental threats, usually anthropogenic in nature, in the lotic ecosystem of the Trici River in a scenario of global warming and local drought. The preliminary results of the present study incontestably demonstrate that the lotic ecosystem of the Trici River presents numerous modifications of an anthropogenic nature, such as: pollution by garbage of all kinds; depredation and reduction of its banks; introduction of alien species to the ecosystem. Strong measures in the aspect of research and environmental education must be implemented urgently.
Investigating a Calcium Alginate-Xylitol Coating Methodology for Controlled Release Profiles of Multivitamin Tablet as a Model Drug
Authors: Kim Raehyun
Published: May 2024

The drug delivery system promotes the release of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) to attain the desired therapeutic effect at the time most needed. Alginate is a natural polymer that is frequently employed in drug delivery systems. Calcium alginate can simply coat as a film type on the surface of a tablet, which might be created to be dissolved more quickly and predictably manners in the gastric fluid to deliver as needed in a patient-friendly system. In this study, the sodium alginate solution was reacted with a predetermined calcium compound and xylitol combination, while the multivitamin tablets’ surface was coated with calcium suppliers such as calcium chloride. Then, the coated tablets were subjected to a dissolution test in a simulated gastric fluid.  Our study results showed that the sphere formation was excellent in terms of strength and size in 1.0% sodium alginate with 4% calcium chloride. Average sphere sizes were 0.5 ~ 2.0 mm. Their break force was 3.5 N, And the dissolution was the fastest in the coated tablets with 1% sodium alginate and calcium chloride. The dissolution rate was changed proportionally with calcium concentration. A high feasibility of dissolution rate was positively found. When a high concentration of xylitol was mixed with 4% calcium chloride, the dissolution rate was proportional to the concentration of xylitol. In conclusion, the study demonstrated that the dissolution rate of tablets with API might be controllable with the calcium alginate film coating with xylitol.

Diagnosing Osteoporosis in Postmenopausal Females Using Machine Learning and AdaBoostM1 Algorithm Based on Bone Mineral Density
Authors: Jabbar Sohail , Ahmad Awais , Tariq Saba
Published: May 2024

Osteoporosis, also known as low bone mineral density (BMD), is a serious health concern, especially for women who have gone through menopause in community settings. This condition weakens the bones and increases the risk of fractures. Women who have gone through menopause are more susceptible to osteoporosis due to hormonal changes. Therefore, it is crucial to identify the condition early to start preventive treatments and reduce the risk of fractures. To address the challenges of diagnosing low BMD in postmenopausal women in community settings, this study proposes a method that combines machine learning with the AdaBoostM1 algorithm, which has shown promising results. Data acquisition, data preprocessing, data training, model testing, and model prediction and evaluation are integral phases of the operational dynamics of our model in osteoporosis diagnosis. This approach recommends increasing screening initiatives and educating patients as strategies to improve early detection and management of the disease. The analysis method used achieved an impressive accuracy rate of approximately 88.8% on the dataset it was applied to. The area under the curve was 0.87, the true positive rate was 88%, and the F1 measure was 0.88. By using accurate diagnostic techniques and providing proactive community care, the incidence of osteoporotic fractures can be significantly reduced, thus improving the quality of life for this vulnerable population.

Dental caries significantly impact global health, particularly in Pakistan, where the prevalence is notably high. This study assessed the diagnostic accuracy of mobile teledentistry in Islamabad and Rawalpindi by employing the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) as a benchmark. This cross-sectional validation study was conducted from July to September 2022 in nine private dental clinics involving 460 participants proficient in basic Android smartphone functions. The diagnostic procedure comprised initial in-person evaluations by dentists, subsequent remote assessments using images captured by smartphones based on verbal instructions, and validations by a third independent dentist. Statistical analyses were performed using sensitivity, specificity, Matthew’s correlation coefficient, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Teledentistry achieved a specificity of 89% and a sensitivity of 70%. The positive and negative predictive values were 74.6% and 86%, respectively. The ROC curve analysis, with an area under the curve greater than 0.7, confirmed the high diagnostic efficacy of the method. The Cohen’s kappa statistic reached 0.814, demonstrating substantial interrater reliability, while the diagnostic odds ratio was 18, indicating strong discriminative power. This study confirmed that teledentistry, enabled by the use of smartphone cameras, serves as a reliable method for detecting dental caries, with efficacy comparable to that of conventional clinical examination methods. It significantly extends dental care accessibility, particularly in geographically remote or economically underserved regions, effectively mitigating the logistical challenges associated with traditional dental visits. The findings support the broader implementation of teledentistry, highlighting its potential to enhance mass screening efforts, improve oral health outcomes, and alleviate pressures on healthcare systems across diverse demographic landscapes.
Richard Lynch, S.J. (1610–1676) on Being and Essens
Authors: Salas Victor M. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: May 2024

This article examines Richard Lynch’s metaphysics and finds that he ultimately resolves his account of being in terms of essens—that which denotes the essential structure that a being (ens) has apart from existence. For Lynch, unlike many of his Jesuit contemporaries, existence is accidental to being. Yet, even if essens is distinct from existence, it is not altogether lacking being, but is accorded a certain kind of “essential being,” which is identified with the possible. Lynch thus seems to re-appropriate an essentialist metaphysics that has antecedents in Avicenna and Henry of Ghent’s notion of esse essentiae. More proximate to Lynch is the Jesuit thinker Francesco Albertini, who takes Henry’s metaphysics and conveys it to Baroque Scholasticism. Lynch continues down that metaphysical path which, as we shall see, generated fierce controversy among late seventeenth-century Scholastics regarding the nature of creaturely possibility.
Markets with Limits Revisited
Authors: Taylor James Stacey ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: May 2024

In this article I respond to the constructive criticisms of my views in Markets with Limits that have been developed by Amy E. White, Roderick T. Long, and Julian Koplin. I also outline how Jason Brennan and Peter Jaworski have surreptitiously altered their position in the second edition of their book Markets Without Limits—alterations that they appear to have made in response to my criticisms. First, they have changed the view that they attribute to those they identify as anti-commodification theorists in response to my claim that none of them hold the position that they attribute to them. Second, they have altered their definition of what constitutes a “semiotic” objection to markets. I argue that none of these changes successfully address my initial criticisms. By contrast, I believe that the revisions that I make to my views in response to the objections of White and Long address their concerns, and I concur with Koplin’s development of my views in the context of the use of AI.
Confucian Ethics and Confederate Memorials
Authors: Harris Thorian R. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: May 2024

As self-conscious curators and critics of moral history, the early Confucians are relevant to the contemporary debate over the fate of memorials dedicated to morally flawed individuals. They provide us with a pragmatic justification that is distinct from those utilized in the current debate, and in many respects superior to the alternatives. In addition to supplying this curative philosophic resource, the early Confucian practices of ancestral memorialization suggest preventative measures we might adopt to minimize the chances of establishing divisive and oppressive memorials in the future.
Aristotle on the Function of Phantasia for Phronesis
Authors: Tian Shufeng ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: May 2024

This article intends to discover the function of phantasia for phronesis. Its main idea is that the practically wise person has the right sort of phantasia associated with the right kind of pleasure and pain and that through the medium of pleasure and pain phronesis and phantasia become connected. First, I examine what Aristotle means when he says that phronesis is a special kind of practical perception which is concerned with ethical particulars. Second, I illustrate the function of phantasia, especially deliberative phantasia, for the ethical agent based on the essential proposition that phantasia has a motivational force based on its representation of things as objects of desire. The virtuous man has the right kind of practical phantasia and phantasmata in the sense that things appear to him as good or pleasurable in the way they are really so. Finally, I argue that natural phantasia and phantasmata which we possess from birth need to be transformed by the practical intellect so that they might acquire moral values; and the pleasure which the virtuous man takes in doing good actions consolidates his virtuous characters so that he can act out of a settled and steadfast dispositions.

In the realm of stock market prediction and classification, the use of machine learning algorithms has gained significant attention. In this study, we explore the application of Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) algorithms in predicting and classifying stock prices, specifically amidst economic policy uncertainty. Stock market fluctuations are greatly influenced by economic policies implemented by governments and central banks. These policies can create uncertainty and volatility, which in turn makes accurate predictions and classifications of stock prices more challenging. By leveraging MLP and RBF algorithms, we aim to develop models that can effectively navigate these uncertainties and provide valuable insights to investors and financial analysts. The MLP algorithm, based on artificial neural networks, is able to learn complex patterns and relationships within financial data. The RBF algorithm, on the other hand, utilizes radial basis functions to capture non-linear relationships and identify hidden patterns within the data. By combining these algorithms, we aim to enhance the accuracy of stock price prediction and classification models. The results showed that both MLB and RBF predicted stock prices well for a group of countries using an index reflecting the impact of news on economic policy and expectations, where the MLB algorithm proved its ability to predict chain data. Countries were also classified according to stock price data and uncertainty in economic policy, allowing us to determine the best country to invest in according to the data. The uncertainty surrounding economic policy is what makes stock price forecasting so crucial. Investors must consider the degree of economic policy uncertainty and how it affects asset prices when deciding how to allocate their assets.

MANETs are more vulnerable to different kinds of network attacks due to its phenomina. A blackhole attack is a kind of routing attack which can destroy all connections and successful transmission of the data in MANETs. This paper proposed a method considering the Blackhole attack problem while implementing the Adhoc On Demand Distance Vector routing. In this, features are extracted and analyzed by simulating the blackhole attack, when a blackhole attack present in the network. Then, we proposed detection method using the Destination sequence number, packet drop ratio and the waiting of a node. To improve the behavioral performance of the network in terms of attack, detection rate and time and to achieve the better throughput this method was proposed. Theresults of this simulation shows that this proposed one is effective and reliable for detecting blackhole attacks
