Experimental study: a comparison of the uro-protective efficacy of mesna with hyperhydration in cyclophosphamide-induced haemorrhagic cystitis in sprague dawley rats
Authors: Idweini Yasin , Umbert B , Sole M , Carretero Pablo
Published: May 2024

Background: Haemorrhagic Cystitis (H.C) is well known as a dose-limiting side effect of cyclophosphamide (CyP). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Mesna in protecting against CyP-induced H.C and compare its efficacy to that of hyperhydration. Research design: This animal study was conducted at the Hospital Clinic de Barcelona's Experimental Animals Breeding and Medical Research Centre. Materials and Methodology: Male Sprague Dawley rats (360-510 g, 5 rats per group) were divided into four groups at random: No medications were given to Group 1 (Control group). Group 11 (received CyP 150mg/kg intraperitoneally alone), Group 111 (received CyP150mg/kg, and mesna 150 percent of the CyP dose immediately and at 4 and 8 hours after administration of CyP, both drugs IV injection by intra jugular vein), and Group 1V (received CyP150mg/kg, and hyperhydration by catheterization of the animal jugular vein with a constant infusion of glucose water 5%, 3ml/hour/48 hours). 48 hours later, the bladders of the animals were examined macroscopically and histologically. The existence of edema and haemorrhagic edema, as well as histological and gross evaluations of bladder injury, were assessed, and statistical analysis was employed. Results: HC was found in all of the animals in group 11. When compared to group 1 (p0.001), this group had significantly more histological damage and macroscopic alterations. When compared to group 11, the median ratings of bladder injury in groups 111 and 1V were considerably lower. There was significant difference between groups 11 apart, and both groups111, 1V when the median scores for bladder injury were compared. Conclusion: This study shows the efficacy of mesna or hyperhydration in the prevention of cyclophosphamide-induced haemorrhagic cystitis.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Variability in outcome reporting in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) treatment trials hinders conducting meta-analyses and implementing novel treatments. We aimed to develop a core outcome set (COS) for NEC treatment trials including outcome measures most relevant to patients and physicians, from NEC diagnosis to adulthood.

METHODS

Clinicians and/or researchers from low–middle- and high-income countries were approached based on their scientific contributions to NEC literature, and patients and parents through local organizations. We presented participants with 45 outcomes used in NEC research, identified through a systematic review. To achieve consensus, outcomes were rated on a scale of 1 to 9 in 3 online Delphi rounds, and discussed at a final consensus meeting.

RESULTS

Seventy-one participants from 25 countries completed all Delphi rounds, including 15 patients and family representatives. Thirteen outcomes reached consensus in one of the stakeholder groups and were included in the consensus meeting, 6 outcomes reached consensus in both groups. Twenty-seven participants from both high- and low–middle-income countries attended the online consensus meeting, including family representatives and NEC patients. After discussion and a final vote, 5 outcomes reached consensus to be included: mortality, NEC-related mortality, short bowel syndrome, quality of life, and neurodevelopmental impairment.

CONCLUSIONS

This NEC COS includes 5 predominantly long-term outcomes agreed upon by clinicians, patients, and family representatives. Use of this international COS will help standardize outcome selection in clinical trials, ensure these are relevant to those most affected by NEC care, and, ultimately, improve the care of infants with NEC.
The influence of cooling rate on the structure and mechanical properties of Al4CoCrCuFeNi multicomponent alloy
Authors: Kushnerov O. I. , Bashev V. F. , Ryabtsev S. I.
Published: May 2024

The present study focused on examining the composition, structure, and mechanical properties of an Al4CoCrCuFeNi multicomponent high-entropy alloy. Two states of the alloy, namely as-cast and melt-quenched, were investigated. The composition of the alloy was determined based on established criteria found in literature, which consider factors such as entropy, enthalpy of mixing, valence electron concentration, and atomic size difference of the components. To synthesize the alloy films, a splat-quenching technique was employed, where the films were rapidly cooled from the molten state. The estimated cooling rate of the films was approximately 106 K/s, calculated based on the film thickness. X-ray diffraction analysis was conducted on both the as-cast and melt-quenched Al4CoCrCuFeNi alloy samples, revealing that they exhibited an ordered B2 phase in their structure. The microhardness measurementswere carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties of the alloy. The as-cast alloy displayed a microhardness of 6500 MPa, while the melt-quenched film exhibited a significantly higher microhardness, reaching 9400 MPa.
Dynamics of a system of two-level emitters in the Dicke model taking into account small correlations between them
Authors: Sokolovsky A. I. , Lyagushyn S. F.
Published: May 2024

On the basis of our previous study of the quantum system of atoms and the electromagnetic field, a system of non-relativistic stationary and non-interacting small one-electron atoms located in a region much smaller in size than the characteristic wavelength of the field is considered. Atoms are considered in the two-level approximation and interact with the field by dipole-electric interaction. We carefully analyze the state space of the atom and the operators in it in the spin s = 1 / 2 formalism, which leads to the Dicke Hamiltonian in terms of the spin formalism.
Non-equilibrium states of the system are investigated using the reduced description method and described by the occupation numbers of photon states ηαk , the degree of excitation of the atoms η1 , and the value of correlations between them η2. The basis of our consideration is the Peletminsky–Yatsenko model, the foundations of which and, in particular, the approach to solving the Cauchy problem, based on the notion of effective initial conditions, are thoroughly discussed.
Since the Dicke model deals with the dynamics of a system of particles with spin, the technique of calculating the average values of products of spin operator proposed by Vax, Larkin, and Pikin is developed to a certain extent. Averages in a state with a statistical operator of a system of atoms with given excitations are considered. The obtained results are maximally simplified in the case of spin s = 1 / 2 .
The impossibility of calculations with a quasi-local statistical operator when describing the state of the system with parameters ηαk , η1, η2 is overcome with using a somewhat simplified approach of our previous work, in which, instead of a parameter η2, the system is described by a small deviation δη2 = η2 - η20 of the parameter η2 from its value η20 when describing the system only by the parameters ηαk, η1. Developed approaches to calculations with spin operators are used to calculate the quasi-equilibrium statistical operator when choosing of the quantities ηαk, η1 , and δη2 as reduced description parameters and the right-hand sides of the time equations for these parameters.
Analyzing Incels through the lens of evolutionary psychology
Authors: Baselice Kathryn A.
Published: May 2024

Incels, also known as “involuntary celibates,” are an online subculture comprised of mostly heterosexual men who describe themselves as unable to obtain a sexual partner despite their desire and effort to do so. The group often externalizes the reasons for this failure, blaming societal structures and ideals as well as feminist movements. In recent years, some within this subculture have become radicalized. The violent ideologies of Incels have been linked to several mass shootings, including those committed by Elliot Rodger and Jake Davison. Although some Incels have attempted to use evolutionary psychology to justify their anger and ideology, this paper aims to turn the evolutionary lens back on Incels to explore Incels' core features of misogyny, group identity, suicidality and violence. Incels attempt to establish and maintain a social “in-group,” strive to eliminate sexual competition, and attempt to bypass female mate choice. The paper explores how Incels use of evolutionary psychology principles and highlights the benefits that studying Incels, both in general and through an evolutionary lens, can yield.
Society and Archaeological Sites in Interwar Greece

Published: May 2024

Throughout the twentieth century, Greek society invested in the enhancement and management of archaeological sites and monuments seen as particularly important for the nation’s political and diplomatic agendas. Antiquities have always been part of public life in modern Greece, as evidenced by national campaigns emphasizing the timeless value of ancient Greek culture, promoted in the service of national, political and economic ends. In this context, the Greek Archaeological Service has long carried out works for landscaping and demarcating archaeological sites, as well as for enhancing access to them. This study, drawing on archival material of the Directorate for the Management of the National Archive of Monuments (DMNAM) and other sources as well as two case studies—the Temple of Apollo Epicurius at Bassae/Andritsaina and the archaeological site of Delphi—examines the factors that have determined the relationships between antiquities and Greek society. In particular, it focuses on contradictions, and occasional conflicts, related to such relationships during the interwar period (1918–1939) and the social impact of the promotion and enhancement of archaeological sites. The paper also emphasizes local communities’ and authorities’ involvement in managing archaeological sites in their regions due to high tourist interest during this period.
Central Limit Theorem for Conditional Mode in the Single Functional Index Model with Data Missing at Random
Authors: Allal Anis , Dib Abdassamad , Rabhi Abbes
Published: May 2024

This paper concentrates on nonparametrically estimating the conditional density function and conditional mode within the single functional index model for independent data, particularly when the variable of interest is affected by randomly missing data. This involves a semi-parametric single model structure and a censoring process on the variables. The estimator’s consistency (with rates) in a variety of situations, such as the framework of the single functional index model (SFIM) under the assumption of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d) data with randomly missing entries, as well as its performance under the assumption that the covariate is functional, are the main areas of focus. For this model, the nearly almost complete uniform convergence and rate of convergence are established. The rates of convergence highlight the critical part that the probability of concentration play in the law of the explanatory functional variable. Additionally, we establish the asymptotic normality of the derived estimators proposed under specific mild conditions, relying on standard assumptions in Functional Data Analysis (FDA) for the proofs. Finally, we explore the practical application of our findings in constructing confidence intervals for our estimators. The rates of convergence highlight the critical part that the probability of concentration play in the law of the explanatory functional variable.
Dynamic behaviour of an inclined FG-CNTRC sandwich beam under a moving mass
Authors: Tran Thi Thom , Esen Ismail , Nguyen Dinh Kien
Published: May 2024

This paper studies dynamic behavior of an inclined sandwich beam with a homogeneous core and functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) face sheets under a moving mass. The effective properties of the face sheets are estimated by the extended rule of mixture. Three types of carbon nanotube distribution, namely uniform distribution (UD), functionally graded ( ) and V (FG-V) distributions, are considered. Based on the first-order shear deformation theory, a finite element formulation is formulated by using hierarchical functions to interpolate the displacements and rotation. Using the derived formulation, dynamic response the sandwich beam is computed with the aid of the Newmark method. The obtained result reveals that the inclined angle has a significant influence on the response of the beam, and the dynamic magnification factor decreases for the beam associated with a larger inclined angle. The effects of various parameter, including the nanotube volume fraction, the type of carbon nanotube distribution, the layer thickness ratio and the moving mass velocity on dynamic behavior of the sandwich beam are examined and highlighted.
RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTAL TRAY STUDIES OF THE SOIL FOUNDATION BASE REINFORCED WITH MICROPILES
Authors: KHARCHENKO V. V. , ANDRIEIEV V. S.
Published: May 2024

Purpose. Obtaining a change in the deformed state of models of unreinforced and reinforced micropile soil base to determine the influence of the reinforcement element. Methodology. The method of research in a flat tray was used, which makes it possible to solve a certain range of tasks related to the interaction of foundations with the soil base. The conditions for conducting experimental research and the features of creating models of unreinforced and micropile reinforced soil bases are given. The conditions for creating clay paste, laying it in a flat tray, preparing the model for loading, and taking measurements are given in detail. To assess the adequacy of experimental tray studies, modeling conditions were calculated based on the parameters of a real civil structure, its foundation and soil base. Findings. During the experimental studies of the soil foundation and its interaction with the base in a flat tray, two series of experiments were conducted, three experiments in each series. In series Nos. 1-3, an unreinforced base was studied, in series Nos. 4-6, a base reinforced with a single micropile. Vertical displacements were averaged, which were measured by three dial indicators installed in the middle and on both sides of the die that modeled the foundation. On the basis of the results obtained during the experimental studies, diagrams were plotted in σ – s coordinates (stress – settlement). Originality. The originality of the work consists of obtaining a change in the deformed state of the models of unreinforced and micropile reinforced soil base and determining the influence of the reinforcement element (the maximum vertical displacement of 14.7 mm in the model reinforced with micropile in contrast to 17.5 mm in the unreinforced one, i.e., the reduction of this component of the deformed state by 1.19 times). Practical value. The practical value of the conducted research lies in the proof of the positive impact of micropiles based on the results of experimental tray studies. Based on the obtained results, it is reasonable to apply micropiles created with the help of drilling-mixing technology to successfully reduce the vertical displacements of the foundations of civil structures on weak soil bases.
Relações entre tempo vivido, depressão e pandemia na perspectiva da psicopatologia fenomenológica
Authors: Paião Ariane Voltolini , Antúnez Andrés Eduardo Aguirre
Published: May 2024

O tempo foi amplamente investigado por Eugène Minkowski, retomando os conceitos de Henri Bergson de tempo cronológico e duração vivida. Apesar de algumas divergências, a influência bergsoniana contribuiu para os estudos de Minkowski, que buscou alcançar as características e as alterações do tempo vivido nos pacientes. A alteração na vivência do tempo — possivelmente intensificada na pandemia de Covid-19 — está no cerne da depressão de acordo com a psicopatologia fenomenológica. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é ampliar a compreensão sobre o tempo vivido e a depressão durante esse período, o que é relevante considerando o acometimento de mais de 300 milhões de pessoas no mundo pela depressão e o aumento em 25% na sua prevalência global após o primeiro ano de contágio do vírus.
Problematização sobre o Transtorno Disruptivo da Desregulação do Humor
Authors: Pondé Milena Pereira
Published: May 2024

Este artigo se propõe a delinear, historicamente, o diagnóstico clínico do Transtorno Disruptivo da Desregulação do Humor (TDDH). Com base no método genealógico, essa categoria diagnóstica é desnaturalizada e recontextualizada em sua origem. Analisa-se o conceito de desregulação do humor a partir da escala CBCL (Childhood Behaviour Checklist), sua identificação como um transtorno bipolar da infância, posterior transformação no diagnóstico de TDDH e subsequente crítica deste, com a proposta de englobar os sintomas de desregulação do humor na infância, no diagnóstico de transtorno opositor-desafiante. Como alternativa, o artigo sugere que o humor irritadiço na infância é um estado afetivo primário, constituindo-se, assim, em uma predisposição orgânica primária. Já a regulação emocional é uma construção adaptativa, que se modela ao longo da vida, gerando apresentações subjetivas diversas.

Comment aujourd’hui articuler la réalité sociale du couple et sa réalité inconsciente afin de rendre compte de la violence conjugale contemporaine? Après un bref retour sur les fondements anthropologiques du couple et du lien d’alliance symbolique (mariage, Pacs) ou “libre” qui le fonde, nous évoquerons l’imaginaire de la conjugalité autrement dit le fantasme de réalisation idéale de soi et de ses affects au travers de la mise en couple pour en venir à poser les coordonnées conjugales et subjectives impliquées dans le passage à l’acte violent. Deux vignettes cliniques permettent de saisir comment opère dans le lien conjugal le passage de l’amour à l’hainamoration. Seront ainsi ouvertes les possibles déliaisons, sources de violence, entre les dimensions sociale, imaginaire, subjective et intersubjective de la conjugalité.

Published: May 2024

Abstract Introduction This paper presents an analytical approach to occupational therapy practice grounded in historical dialectical materialism. It understands occupational therapy professional practice as work within a capitalist system, and thus subject to analysis through the labor process theory. Objective To propose an analytical approach to occupational therapy practice aimed at supporting the development of an emancipatory practice framework based on the dialogue between Social Occupational Therapy and Latin American Collective Health. Method Utilizing emancipatory action research methodologies, this study conducted 10 workshops with 10 occupational therapists aimed at collective knowledge production. Results Human activity is identified as the object of occupational therapy working process, defined by the category work in its ontological dimension. Radical participation is set as the intended product of this process, which entails engaging in efforts to transform the social determination of collective living conditions. The individuals in this process include occupational therapists and the followed-up individuals, groups, and/or communities, all viewed as social beings collaborating toward social transformation. Four theoretical-methodological tools are identified: emancipatory analysis of human activities, emancipatory proposition of human activities, operationalization of radical participation, and interventions in the social fabric. Conclusion Occupational therapy, as a form of social practice, offers a specific contribution to the development of a collective revolutionary praxis. This praxis, aimed at realizing a concrete utopia, seeks to generate the means to create a new society.
Mortality of stingless bees on Spathodea campanulata Beauv. (Bignoniaceae) flowers

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT Spathodea campanulata Beauv. (Bignoniaceae) is a plant frequently employed in the ornamentation of public squares and gardens, attributed to its rapid growth and showy flowers. However, its use is controversial due to the potentially toxic nectar, which can lead to significant mortality rates among various stingless bee species in Brazil, posing a risk to native biodiversity and disrupting natural ecosystems. The aim of this study was to quantify and identify the species of stingless bees found dead within the flowers of the Spathodea campanulata plant. This investigation was conducted at the Ondina Campus of the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), Brazil. Over a 15-day flowering period, 86 flowers from three specimens of this species were collected. After flower collection, the dead insects found within the flowers were extracted, stored, and identified at the Laboratory of Insect Bionomics, Biogeography, and Systematics (BIOSIS) at UFBA. The analysis revealed that all floral visitors were Hymenoptera insects, with 98.1% identified as bees (Apidae and Meliponini). In conclusion, S. campanulataflowers contain toxic compounds with insecticidal properties, leading to increased mortality among certain Melipona bee species. Melipona scutellaris and Apis mellifera bees are occasional visitors of the S. campanulata flowers; hence the lower mortality rates of these species. Given the damage caused by S. campanulata on native biodiversity, it is advised to avoid cultivating it in public squares, gardens, or in proximity to bee hives.
Selection of long-term shear strength parameters for strain-softening geosynthetic interfaces (2023 IGS Rowe Lecture)
Authors: Thiel R.
Published: May 2024

The behavior of strain-softening geosynthetic interfaces that can lead to progressive failures in lined containment facilities has been a source of confusion in slope stability evaluations for over 30 years. This paper presents 15 mechanisms that can potentially induce displacements along strain-softening interfaces, along with measures that can be considered to reduce strain-softening displacement. New quantifications of shear strength variability that can be caused by manufacturing, installation, and construction practices are introduced. Guidance and recommendations are given that are applicable to numerical continuum as well as limit-equilibrium approaches to assist in selecting appropriate geosynthetic shear strength parameters for containment facilities that have strain-softening interfaces. While most of the paper focuses on deep-seated critical interfaces for high-normal-stress bottom liners, low-normal-stress veneer covers are also addressed.
Youth Sport Spectating among Parents During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Reynolds Jerry , Bates Samantha , Moore Matt
Published: May 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant changes to family life and youth sports activities around the globe. In efforts to promote continuity and youth participation in sports, and in lieu of risks for spreading the virus at competitions and games, the youth sport environment adapted to meet emerging health and safety protocols. The cancellation of youth sports and shifts to virtual spectating (i.e., watching children play sports online) were often enacted to protect families, yet little is known about how these changes physically, socially, and psychologically impacted parents and the family system. In response, we conducted a mixed-methods study to explore the lived experiences of parents of youth sport participants during the COVID-19 pandemic. This novel and exploratory research discovered several shifts in the physical environment of youth sport, including challenges with technology and limitations in the number of spectators at youth sporting events. Findings also revealed an array of psychosocial experiences among parents including feelings of grief, frustration, and sadness due to restrictions and sport cancellations, as well as fewer child-parent interactions and a diminished connection to sport in response to virtual spectating. We developed a conceptual model of how shifts in the youth sport environment influenced parent spectators. Our findings have important implications for practice and inform future areas of research regarding youth sports and the family system.

Published: May 2024

Abordar educação e patrimônio é explorar dois temas intimamente interligados em sua essência e diretamente associados à temática dos direitos patrimoniais e culturais. A preservação do patrimônio arquitetônico e cultural é crucial para a manutenção da identidade e memória de uma comunidade, especialmente em locais históricos.  Sendo assim, o objetivo deste artigo consistiu em investigar como a educação patrimonial influencia na preservação das fachadas do centro histórico de São Cristóvão, em Sergipe, após elevação da Praça São Francisco como patrimônio da humanidade pela Organização das Nações Unidas para a Educação, a Ciência e a Cultura -  UNESCO. Quanto ao método utilizado, trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva, realizada  a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica e documental sobre a temática abordada, e de uma pesquisa de campo com realização de 10 entrevistas semiestruturadas. Como resultados, observou-se que, a educação patrimonial desempenha um papel fundamental ao conscientizar os moradores sobre a importância da conservação das fachadas e ao fornecer orientações práticas, como aquelas apresentadas na cartilha de cores do IPHAN. Espera-se, portanto, que a pesquisa possa contribuir para o desenvolvimento de estratégias mais eficazes de educação patrimonial e preservação do patrimônio arquitetônico em São Cristóvão e em outras localidades com desafios similares.

Published: May 2024

A crescente demanda de eletroeletrônicos no Brasil faz com que a utilização de pilhas e baterias seja proporcional ao consumo de aparelhos que as requerem para poderem funcionar. A carência de alternativas e a falta de informação da população fazem com que pilhas e baterias sejam destinadas em locais incorretos, podendo assim, acarretar sérios danos ambientais.  Desse modo o objetivo desse trabalho foi verificar a percepção do uso e do descarte de pilhas e baterias. O estudo foi realizado no campus Águas Lindas do IFG. Um questionário foi aplicado com os estudantes do curso técnico integrado em Meio Ambiente. Ao todo 46 estudantes de forma voluntária participaram da pesquisa, sendo que estão distribuídos entre as séries do 1, 2 e 3os anos. Os entrevistados usam pilhas e baterias em diferentes tipos de equipamentos, relatando que o material usado em sua maioria são guardados, já que perto de sua residência não há ponto de coleta, dessa forma uma parcela dos entrevistados descartam esse material no lixo comum. Os entrevistados conhecem a problemática, o que remontam a importância desses estudos e de ações de educação ambiental para a orientação do descarte ambientalmente adequado e que esteja de acordo com as normativas.
On Λ-Fractional fluid mechanics
Authors: Anastasios Lazopoulos , Kostantinos Lazopoulos
Published: May 2024

Λ-fractional analysis has already been presented as the only fractional analysis conforming with the Differential Topology prerequisites. That is, the Leibniz rule and chain rule do not apply to other fractional derivatives; This, according to Differential Topology, makes the definition of a differential impossible for these derivatives. Therefore, this leaves Λ-fractional analysis the only analysis generating differential geometry necessary to establish the governing laws in physics and mechanics. Hence, it is most necessary to use Λ-fractional derivative and Λ-fractional transformation to describe fractional mathematical models. Other fractional “derivatives” are not proper derivatives, according to Differential Topology; they are just operators. This fact makes their application to mathematical problems questionable while Λ-derivative faces no such problems. Basic Fluid Mechanics equations are studied and revised under the prism of Λ-Fractional Continuum Mechanics (Λ-FCM). Extending the already presented principles of Continuum Mechanics in the area of solids into the area of fluids, the basic Λ-fractional fluid equations concerning the Navier-Stokes, Euler, and Bernoulli flows are derived, and the Λ-fractional Darcy’s flow in porous media is studied. Since global minimization of the various fields is accepted only in the Λ-fractional analysis, shocks in the Λ-fractional motion of fluids are exhibited.

Simultaneous detection of miRNA and mRNA at the single-cell level in plant tissues (v2) v1
Authors: Wu Chi-Chih
Published: May 2024

Detecting the simultaneous presence of a microRNA (miRNA) and a mRNA in a specific tissue can provide support for the prediction that the miRNA regulates the mRNA. Ｗe develop a method that uses sequence-specific miRNA-locked nucleic acid (LNA) and mRNA-LNA probes. Moreover, it augments the detection signal by rolling circle amplification, achieving a high signal-noise ratio at the single-cell level. Dot signals are counted for determining the expression levels of mRNA and miRNA molecules in specific cells. We show a high sequence specificity of our miRNA-LNA probe, revealing that it can discriminate single-base mismatches. Numerical quantification by our method is tested in transgenic rice lines with different gene expression levels.

Introduction: Meningiomas are the most common benign tumor of the central nervous system, accounting for 53.3% and 37.6% of all central nervous system tumors (1). The World Health Organization (WHO) Grade I meningiomas account for 80.5% of all meningiomas and are considered benign meningiomas; the WHO Grade II meningiomas account for 17.7% of all meningiomas and exhibit more aggressive behavior.
Methods: In the period 2015-2022, a retrospective single-center study at the clinic of neurosurgery at the Clinical Center University of Sarajevo was conducted, which included patients with a pathohistological finding of WHO Grade I or II meningioma. Depending on the pathohistological grade of the tumor, patients were divided into two groups: Grade I and Grade II patients. Patients were examined clinically and radiologically. Clinical data collected included in the study: Gender, age, number of symptoms before surgery, whether patients were symptomatic or asymptomatic, pre-operative Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group,and Karnopsky performance scale. Pre-operative contrast magnetic resonance imaging of the head measured tumor volume, temporal muscle thickness (TMT), sagittal midline shift, and surrounding cerebral edema.
Results: A total of 80 patients were enrolled in the study, 68 with WHO Grade I and 12 with WHO Grade II meningiomas. We found that patients with Grade I meningioma were younger and that the mean thickness of the temporal muscle was statistically thicker than in patients with Grade II. Increasing TMT was significantly and positively associated with Grade I tumors and negatively associated with Grade II tumors (p = 0.032).
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that TMT can serve as a radiologic pre-operative indicator of meningioma grade and provide valuable guidance to neurosurgeons in surgical planning. Further studies are needed to validate these results.

We explore the importance of online collaboration, cross-cultural understanding, and intercultural competence in today’s workplace, highlighting the need for Information Systems (IS) educators to integrate Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) into their curricula. COIL offers numerous benefits by providing students with opportunities for joint projects and intercultural experiences including a global perspective, cross-cultural collaboration, exposure to innovative practices, global networking, intercultural competence development, and real-world application. Drawing on our own experiences, we present insights into recommended practices and potential pitfalls associated with COIL. Our goal is to empower IS educators to prepare students for the demands of a globalized workforce, cultivating a global mindset, cross-cultural collaboration skills, and intercultural competence in their field.

Indonesia is a country that has enormous energy potential for ocean currents, but the speed of ocean currents is relatively low. The straight-blade vertical axis ocean current turbines can be used to generate electricity. However, one of the disadvantages is lower performance compared to horizontal axis turbines. This study aims to improve the performance of straight-blade vertical axis ocean current turbines using a foil guide vane (FGV). Experimental studies have been conducted in a water tunnel at the Energy Systems Engineering Laboratory, Institut Teknologi Sumatera (ITERA), South Lampung, Indonesia. The investigation is carried out in two stages: the straight-blade without FGV as the original object; the straight-blade with FGV as a variation to improve the turbine performance. The investigation results show that the FGV can enhance the performance of straight-blade vertical axis ocean current turbines such as self-starting, torque coefficient (C_t), and power coefficient (C_p). The FGV has increased self-starting capability at a minimum current speed of 0.078 m/s by 15.3 rpm. The increase in maximum torque coefficient (C_t max) and power coefficient (C_p max) due to the FGV is 32% and 20%, respectively, with a C_t max of 0.829 and 〖a C〗_p max of 0.519. In addition, an investigation was also carried out on flow visualization. It showed that FGV could absorb a lot of injection ink, which means that the turbine with FGV absorbs more kinetic energy than without FGV.

contador de histórias para crianças e jovens
Authors: Aguiar Vera Teixeira de
Published: May 2024

Erico Verissimo escreveu onze livros de literatura para crianças e jovens: em 1935, A vida de Joana d’Arc; em 1936, As aventuras do aviãovermelho, Os três porquinhos pobres; Rosa Maria no castelo encantado e Meu ABC; em 1937, As aventuras de Tibicuera; em 1938, O urso com música na barriga e, em 1939, A vida do elefante Basílio, Outra vez os três porquinhos, Aventuras no mundo da higiene e Viagem à aurora do mundo. Essas obras constituem um projeto literário consciente, uma vez que o autor deixa claros seus objetivos junto ao público infanto-juvenil e acompanha suas constantes reedições. O Erico Verissimo tem por intenção formar e informar seus leitores e, para isso, vale-se da fantasia como meio de aproximação e sedução.

“Assunto de silêncios” ou poesia, em “Cara de bronze”

Estudo das descontinuidades e incongruências com que se constrói o texto plural da novela ‘Cara-de-bronze’, de Guimarães Rosa– um tecido de “nadas etéreos” que nada afirmam, mas por isso mesmo recuperam a potencialidade criadora do Verbo, característica do textopoético.
voz de quem morre. O indício e a testemunha em “Meu tio Iauraretê
Authors: Agrò Ettore Finazzi-
Published: May 2024

Em “Meu tio o Iauretê” de João Guimarães Rosa temos a ver com a confissão, por parte de um mameluco, da sua metamorfose de homem em onça. No fim da sua fala ele é morto pelo seu interlocutor mudo. A partir deste conto “impossível”, vai ser investigada a relação entre a morte e a linguagem. No texto rosiano, de fato, não descobrimos apenas o parentesco essencial entre a phoné e o lógos que nela se dobra, mas nos aproximamos, sobretudo, do limiar último em que a voz se confunde com o silêncio, em que o humano reencontra a sua essência desumana. Temos a ver, nesse sentido, com aquele que Giorgio Agamben define como a “testemunha integral”, ou seja, com quem se coloca no limite insituável entre a vontade de dizer e a sua impossibilidade.
Guimarães Rosa: sertão, memória e arquivo
Authors: Leonel Maria Célia
Published: May 2024

Estabelecemos relações entre memória, cultura e arquivo para refletir sobre o Arquivo Guimarães Rosa do Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros da Universidade de São Paulo. Memória é a possibilidadede dispor de conhecimentos passados que permitem ao homem construir a cultura, que, quando viva, é aberta ao futuro, mas ancorada no passado, dependente de algum tipo de acumulação, que pode se dar por meio dos velhos ou pelo material conservado nos mais variados acervos – arquivos, museus, bibliotecas. Guimarães Rosa, anotando, recortando, classificando e conservando uma grande quantidade dedocumentos, construiu uma forma de memória objetiva para uso posterior na produção literária, uso que realizou de maneira muito especial no que se refere ao sertão.

De Aires a Ayres
Authors: Bylaardt Cid Ottoni
Published: May 2024

Este texto procura mostrar a metamorfose operada no personagem Aires de Esaú e Jacó para o Ayres de Memorial de Ayres, obra derradeira de Machado de Assis. Essa mudança pressupõe uma nova concepção de escrita literária em direção à rarefação, ao inacabamento, ao mesmo tempo em que a veia irônica do escritor se aplaca neste último romance, dando lugar a uma compreensão mais serena da vida e da velhice, e a uma concepção de escrita menos comprometida com modelos e convenções. É a linguagem fora do poder, que não funda nem alimenta certezas, construída em suas ambigüidades, em sua incompletude. O texto não tem planos para o futuro, não é fruto de um projeto, mas um mergulho irresponsável no reduto das sereias, no inferno de Eurídice. Dessa forma o personagem-escritura de Memorial de Ayres percorre seu território infinito, carente de limitações que estabeleçam uma ordem.
