Transtorno do Espectro Autista: causas, implicações e perspectivas de inclusão escolar
Authors: Sousa Neta Maria Luiza de , Silva Silvokleio da Costa
Published: June 2023

O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) é uma desordem neurodesenvolvimental do indivíduo afetado, que pode apresentar três níveis de gravidade: leve, médio e grave. As reais causas do autismo ainda são desconhecidas. Todavia, sua origem esteja relacionada a alterações cromossômicas em mais de um cromossomo do cariótipo humano. Esse artigo buscou verificar a percepção dos docentes da rede pública de ensino quanto ao tema proposto e as estratégias pedagógicas para o acolhimento e inclusão dos indivíduos acometidos por tal patologia. Secretários municipais e estaduais de educação, assim como diretores, secretários e professores das escolas municipais e estaduais de Bom Jesus – Piauí foram entrevistados por meio de questionários pré-estruturados. Verificou-se que os secretários da educação informaram que as repartições (Secretarias de Educação) vêm promovendo ações para a inclusão educacional de alunos com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) e com outras Necessidades Educacionais Especiais (NEEs), por meio do uso de salas de recursos multifuncionais, salas equipadas com jogos, alfabeto ilustrado e apostilas, além de parcerias estabelecidas com Centros de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS) e atendimento desses discentes em contraturnos. Por outro lado, alguns diretores relataram que não receber nenhum material para a inclusão de educandos com NEEs, e que apesar de alguns dos professores afirmarem já ter feito cursos de capacitação, a grande parte dos entrevistados ainda não se sentem despreparados para atuarem com indivíduos com TEA.

Published: June 2023

Objetivo: O presente estudo teve como objetivo descrever um caso clínico de identificação da hemoglobina C durante a realização do exame periódico em uma amostra de uma servidora da Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR). Método: Neste estudo, relatamos o caso de uma paciente de 40 anos, que compareceu ao laboratório escola de análises clínicas (LEAC) para realização dos exames periódicos de rotina. A paciente respondeu um questionário referente a doenças prévias e a mesma não reportou a presença de traço ou de anemia recorrente. Resultados: Durante a realização do hemograma e leitura da extensão sanguínea em microscopia óptica, verificou-se a presença de codócitos em grande parte da lâmina. Em um primeiro momento, suspeitou-se de codócitos artefatuais porém, foi realizada uma eletroforese de hemoglobina, onde se confirmou a presença de banda referente à HbC, e além disso foi realizada uma análise quantitativa por cromatografia (CLAE), onde foi encontrada a presença de aproximadamente 40 % de HbC. Discussão: O relato de caso demonstra a importância dos exames periódicos e da avaliação da extensão sanguínea nos laboratórios clínicos para o diagnóstico de situações clínicas leves, como a hemoglobinopatia C na sua forma heterozigota. No contexto de ser um laboratório escola, todas as amostras são avaliadas microscopicamente garantindo assim que pequenas alterações possam ser percebidas levando a diagnóstico mais acurado. Conclusão: Em suma, apesar de toda a evolução que ocorreu nos últimos anos em relação a automação do laboratório de hematologia, casos como este evidenciam que a microscopia e consequentemente profissionais bem treinados e experientes ainda são fundamentais para garantir que casos como esse sejam esclarecidos.

Published: June 2023

Este estudo buscou verificar se há a presença do Fenômeno da Impostora (FI) em professoras de uma universidade pública no sul do Brasil, que é quando mulheres atribuem seu sucesso à sorte ou outro fator, mas não à sua competência para chegarem aonde estão. Fez-se uma análise estatística inferencial e os resultados revelam que quanto maior a idade, menos impostoras essas docentes se consideram. Em paralelo, quanto maior o tempo de serviço na universidade, menor a presença do FI. A qualificação não interfere na maior ou menor presença do FI, assim como estar em algum cargo de chefia. Embora a literatura mostre que mulheres que trabalham em áreas predominantemente ocupadas por homens possuem maior presença do fenômeno, neste estudo isso não se evidencia. O FI é contemporâneo e está disseminado, seja em maior ou menor proporção. Os dados obtidos neste estudo indicam que parte dessas docentes precisa acreditar mais em si, desenvolvendo mais sua autoestima. A universidade precisa colaborar nisso, desenvolvendo ações que superem o “tokenismo” de modo a amenizar o cenário encontrado, que oprime e adoece. A ambivalência de ser bem-sucedida e não apreciar isso precisa mudar.

Poverty is a society that has not been solved until now. The decline in poverty in Laweyan District from 2000 to 2013 was 5.71%, among the five lowest in the reduction in the percentage of poverty in Central Java Province. The problem of poverty is very complex, and the differences in regional characteristics, as well as the techniques used, also influence the indicators of the causes of poverty and the formulation of policies for poverty alleviation. This study uses Principal Component Analysis as part of data preprocessing, followed by applying association rules with the Apriori Algorithm to explore the relationship pattern of poverty indicators. Based on the research that has been conducted on the poverty dataset, which consists of 46 attributes, it is found that the attributes that have passed the preprocessing data are six attributes, namely the Poor Population, ADHB in the Communication Sector, ADHB in the Mining and Excavation Sector, ADHB in the Agriculture and Food Crops Sector, ADHB in the Plantation Sector. and unemployment. These six attributes are transformed into Ascending, Fixed, and Descending categorical data. The fuzzification process for the increase and decrease categories uses the shoulder-type triangle membership function. Applying the Apriori Algorithm to the poverty dataset with a minimum support of 0.4 and a minimum confidence of 0.8 produces 38 rules that show the relationship between indicators and poverty and 134 rules that show the relationship pattern between indicators.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the perceptron model on pattern recognition of primitive geometric objects in real time based on video images. The samples used in this study were cubes, prisms, tubes and balls. The system was built using the Delphi 7 programming language with pre-processing stages system training includes the process of calculating matrix values from the original image, then proceed with the grayscale and edge detection processes using convolution with a kernel, namely the sobel operator and then the matrix results from the edge detection process are transformed using a perceptron network to obtain energy from the image of the object, then the resulting energy The transformation is stored in the database as a system test reference pattern recognition energy. Measurement of system performance evaluation in this study uses two parameters, namely detection rate and false positive rate. The recognition rate of primitive geometric objects using the perceptron network model in this study reaches 60.00% to 80.00%. The detection rate percentage shows that this model can be used as a supporting approach for the recognition of geometric objects in video.
Hydrogen peroxide production by alveolar macrophages is increased and its concentration is elevated in the breath of rats exposed to hypoxia: relationship to lung lipid peroxidation
Authors: Wilhelm J , Vaňková M , Maxová H , Šišková A
Published: June 2023

Hypoxic exposure triggers a generation of reactive oxygen species that initiate free radical damage to the lung. Hydrogen peroxide is the product of alveolar macrophages detectable in the expired breath. We evaluated the significance of breath H2O2 concentration for the assessment of lung damage after hypoxic exposure and during posthypoxic period. Adult male rats were exposed to normobaric hypoxia (10 % O2) for 3 hours or 5 days. Immediately after the hypoxic exposure and then after 7 days or 14 days of air breathing, H2O2 was determined in the breath condensate and in isolated lung macrophages. Lipid peroxidation was measured in lung homogenates. Three-hour hypoxia did not cause immediate increase in the breath H2O2; 5-day hypoxia increased breath H2O2 level to 458 %. After 7 days of subsequent air breathing H2O2 was elevated in both groups exposed to hypoxia. Increased production of H2O2 by macrophages was observed after 5 days of hypoxia and during the 7 days of subsequent air breathing. Lipid peroxidation increased in the periods of enhanced H2O2 generation by macrophages. As the major increase (1040 %) in the breath H2O2 concentration found 7 days after 3 hours of hypoxia was not accompanied by lipid peroxidation, it can be concluded that the breath H2O2 is not a reliable indicator of lung oxidative damage.

Published: June 2023

Total genome scans of genetically segregating populations derived from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and other rat models of essential hypertension suggested a presence of quantitative trait loci (QTL) regulating blood pressure on multiple chromosomes, including chromosome 5. The objective of the current study was to test directly a hypothesis that chromosome 5 of the SHR carries a blood pressure regulatory QTL. A new congenic strain was derived by replacing a segment of chromosome 5 in the SHR/Ola between the D5Wox20 and D5Rat63 markers with the corresponding chromosome segment from the normotensive Brown Norway (BN/Crl) rat. Arterial pressures were directly monitored in conscious, unrestrained rats by radiotelemetry. The transfer of a segment of chromosome 5 from the BN strain onto the SHR genetic background was associated with a significant decrease of systolic blood pressure, that was accompanied by amelioration of renal hypertrophy. The heart rates were not significantly different in the SHR compared to SHR chromosome 5 congenic strain. The findings of the current study demonstrate that gene(s) with major effects on blood pressure and renal mass exist in the differential segment of chromosome 5 trapped within the new SHR.BN congenic strain.
Molecular pathways of endoplasmic reticulum dysfunctions: possible cause of cell death in the nervous system
Authors: Lehotský J , Kaplán P , Babušíková E , Strapková A , Murín R
Published: June 2023

This review summarizes recent information on the role of calcium in the process of neuronal injury with special attention to the role of calcium stores in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Experimental results present evidence that ER is the site of complex processes such as calcium storage, synthesis and folding of proteins and cell response to stress. ER function is impaired in many acute and chronic diseases of the brain which in turn induce calcium store depletion and conserved stress responses. Understanding the mechanisms leading to ER dysfunction may lead to recognition of neuronal protection strategies.

Published: June 2023

Tricyclic antidepressant drugs dosulepine (TCA), serotonin selective reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and prophylactic agent with antidepressant effect lithium carbonicum (Li) have different cardiovascular side-effects. We compared them in the prophylactic therapy of periodic affective disorder in remission with TCA, SSRI and Li. Our previous papers confirmed the most prominent effects of heart electric field parameters in TCA patients (Slavíček et al. 1998). In the present work we studied for the first time the dose-dependent changes of ECG, body surface potential maps (BSPM – parameter DIAM 30, 40) in 43 TCA dosulepine, 40 SSRI citalopram and 30 Li outpatients (Hamilton scale: HAMD£10; age 40±5 years; treated for depressive disorders or bipolar disorders). The daily doses of dosulepine were 50-250 mg, citalopram 20-80 mg, Li plasma levels 0.66±0.08 meq/l. The electrocardiogram (ECG), vectorcardiogram (VCG), and BSPM were measured and calculated by the Cardiag 112.1 diagnostic system. The results have shown a relation between the dose of dosulepine and extremum (maximum and minimum) of depolarization isoarea map in dosulepine, but not in citalopram patients. The repolarization BSPM changes were most pronounced in SSRI patients. Lithium in long-term prophylaxy (1-22 years) caused only minimal ECG BSPM changes. The present results correspond with our previous observations.

Published: June 2023

Neurotrophins have been previously mentioned as potential factors that may alter human growth and result in fetal growth restriction (FGR). As neural growth factors, neurotrophins promote brain development and plasticity and have a significant effect on the synaptic transmission, although the actual mechanisms of their action have not been completely investigated. Several articles have been published in this field denoting the importance of neurotrophins as biomarkers of detection of fetuses with fetal growth restriction. Their findings are contradictory and the purpose of the present systematic review is to summarize existing evidence and provide recommendations for future research.
Non immune hydrops fetalis due to Parvovirus B19 infection. A case report
Authors: Chatziioannou Maria Ioanna , Fasoulakis Zacharias , Theodora Marianna , Daskalakis George , Antsaklis Panos
Published: June 2023

Backround: The term “hydrops fetalis” refers to excessive accumulation of pathologic serous fluid within the fetal soft tissues and body cavities. There are two categories, the immune and the nonimmune hydrops (NIHF). Currently 90 percent of cases of hydrops are nonimmune, because of the decrease of incidence of immune with the advent of anti-D immune globulin. Case presentation: We present a case of Parvovirus B19 (PB19) infection that resulted in NIHF. Fetus had severe ascites, mild pericardial effusion and mild myocardial dilation, that appeared during the 30th gestational week. Fetal evaluation with sonography was repeated every week and the fetal growth curves, Dopplers and amniotic fluid index were normal. Each week there was a gradual recession of the effusions until the 36th gestational week, when they eventually resolved without any treatment. After delivery, the neonate was symptom – free. Conclusions: The cause of NIHF is identified in at least 60 percent prenatally and in more than 80 percent postnatally, while only 40 percent of pregnancies with NIHF result in a liveborn neonate. The prognosis is heavily dependent on etiology. Diaplacental transmission of PB19 on second trimester can cause fetal complications like hydrops, premature rapture of membranes, even fetal loss in about 30 percent. These cases should be closely followed in a Fetal Medicine Unit, especially if there is evidence of fetal anemia or hydrops.

Published: June 2023

Primary vaginal melanoma is a rare and aggressive entity affecting the vaginal wall without any involvement of the uterine cervix or the vulva. It usually occurs in elderly women. We hereby present an 87-year-old woman who presented with recurrent vaginal bleeding. Vaginal examination revealed a 3cm hyperpigmented lesion on the anterior vaginal wall. The lesion was biopsied and the results of the histopathological examination were compatible with primary malignant vaginal melanoma. The diagnosis of vaginal melanoma is usually established by histology and immunochemistry. The therapeutic management includes surgical and nonsurgical modalities. Although surgery combined with adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy are acceptable therapeutic approaches, further studies are needed in order to assess the optimal management of women with primary vaginal melanoma.

Authors: Ademi Ibishi Vlora , Latifi Hajrullah , Ibishi Lena , Malin Anne
Published: June 2023

Background: Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder with high variability of clinical expression. Cutaneous manifestations such as café-au-lait spots, freckling patterns, and dermal neurofibromas, are the most distinguishable and common signs appearing in the vast majority of individuals with NF-1. Instances where a patient is both pregnant and affected with neurofibromatosis are less common and the information about the maternal-fetal outcomes are mainly from case reports in the literature. Case presentation: A 33-year-old multiparous pregnant patient affected by NF-1 presented to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic in Prishtina in Kosovo in the 36th week of pregnancy. The patient displayed signs of NF-1 exemplified by the growth of existing neurofibromas and the development of new ones. In addition, the patient experienced a placental abruption which is a life-threatening obstetrical complication rarely reported in the literature as a complication associated with maternal NF-1. An emergent cesarean section was performed and a healthy neonate unaffected by NF-1 was born. Conclusions: Pregnant patients with NF-1 are prone to the worsening of NF-1 symptoms and obstetrical complications. Increased antenatal care for these patients is recommended to ensure the well-being of the mother and fetus.

Authors:   The Korean Society of Culture and Convergence, Cha Kyungja
Published: June 2023

The purpose of this study is to provide insights into the development direction of marine healing centers being established in Korea through a comparison with Germany, specifically focusing on the “Wando Marine Healing Center,” which is about to open for the first time in Korea, and Germany's “Graal-Müritz Seeheilbad Kurort.” The study compared five areas, including facilities, marine healing resources, operational methods, programs, and related policies. The research findings indicate that the Wando Marine Healing Center, which is currently evolving as an experiential tourism product, has limitations in achieving long-term development. In contrast, Graal-Müritz has been able to sustain itself for over 200 years by serving as a therapeutic institution that incorporates health insurance and functions as a health resort. In order for marine healing centers in Korea to make substantial contributions to public health promotion beyond being merely experiential tourism products, it is necessary to refer to the Kurort system, review related policies, and prioritize the inclusion of health insurance as a primary goal while formulating new strategies.

Published: June 2023

In Nazi Germany, uniforms played a crucial role in mediating the body with other objects, regulating visibility, and promoting Nazi ideology. Uniforms also exerted a significant influence on the thinking and behavior of human subjects who donned them, symbolically representing the power of authority. Therefore, Nazi uniforms served as both a visual image of power, embodying the violence and strength of Nazism, and a symbol of obedience and conformity. Robert Schwentke's film , encourages individuals to view history from their specific and privileged positions within the context of their social and historical relationships. History is a comprehensive problem, situated not only in a single event but also in the multilayered and discontinuous connections between individuals, nations, ideologies, the past, and the future. The embodiment of power through uniforms in the film represents a complex and comprehensive confluence of contemporary political, social, and cultural issues that occur at a specific and discontinuous moment in time. This portrayal of power continues to resonate in contemporary society, where the desire for power is still associated with violence and the pursuit of crime. Thus,  can be seen as a contemporary insight into our era, reflecting on the nature of power in social relationships.
Kipling's Manipulation of Religions in Kim: A Document of his Imperialist Position
Authors: Habibullah Md.
Published: June 2023

Since the publication of Rudyard Kipling's (1865–1936) Kim (1901), most critics have agreed that the novel falls into the genre of colonial fiction. But they are divided into two groups – defenders and detractors – regarding Kipling's treatment of religions in the novel. The defenders celebrate his accomplishment and sympathy in depicting the devotion and attraction of the Victorian Era towards Buddhism. On the other hand, the detractors blame Kipling for fictionalising the confrontation between pragmatic Western rationality and Eastern mystical irrationality. Against this backdrop, this article revisits the novel with a postcolonial lens to study Kipling's dealings with religions in South-Asia in the latter half of the nineteenth century. It discovers that Kipling employs strategies of surveillance and knowledge of history and ethnography while handling religions in the novel. Such fictional employment of strategy and knowledge in characterising the South-Asian religions seems to have been colonially favourable in the contemporary socio-political context. Accordingly, this article argues that Kipling manipulates religions in his narrative for the sake of imperialism through surveillance of religions, consciousness of history, and ethnographic discourse that reflect his imperialist position.

Community engagement is one of the collaborative sharing programs initiated by the Government, known as the Gema Cermat (Smart Community Using Medicines Movement), which includes the promotion tagline "Ask 5 O."
