Making of Intelligent Simulation Experiment of Sound Velocity Measurement
Authors: Xingfang Jiang , Lei Zhang , Alam Lohani Md Badrul , Yuxin Zhang
Published: September 2021

Ultrasound is used as the wave source for the sound velocity measurement experiment. Ultrasonic wave is used to form standing wave in the reflection interval, the position of two adjacent wave anti nodes is used to determine the half wavelength, and the sound velocity in the experimental state is measured. The specific experimental apparatus applies a spiral structure. The hand-wheel rotates through one cycle and the ultrasound emitter moves 1mm accordingly. Therefore, the circumference of the drum-wheel driven by the hand-wheel is equally divided into 100 scales, each scale is for one grid, and a spin of one grid is one percent of 1mm, thus the accuracy can be 0.001mm. But there usually exists half pitch deviation because of the clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the drum wheel clockwise and counterclockwise usually produces half pitch. For the sound velocity measurement experiment it is unacceptable to rotate the drum-wheel at different directions back and forth. In order to avoid this nuisance, we propose a computer-based simulation experiment system and this system can help to obtain a higher precision which is up to four significant digits when compared to the practical experiment. This simulation system can effectively avoid operational mistakes by the experimenter. The experimental data henceforth will be of ideal precision. This system is also capable of repetitive operation which can make up for the deficiency of practical experiments.

Authors: Shalom Anizoba Adaeze , Njideka Onyekwelu , Ngozi Uzodike
Published: September 2021

This work examined the extent of the relationship that exists between knowledge management (KM) and organizational commitment in Private Universities in Anambra State, Nigeria. A survey research design was adopted by the study. The population of the study is 95 teaching staff of 4 randomly selected private universities in the studied area. A structured questionnaire was used in data collection and it was validated using face and content validity, while the reliability was done using Cronbach Alpha reliability test, with a coefficient of 0.878. The analysis of data was done using a combination of descriptive and inferential statistics and the hypothesis was tested at a 5% level of significance. The result showed that there is a strong positive relationship (r = .939) between the two variables and that an 88% percentage change (R2 = .882) in continuance commitment was explained by changes in management buy-in. With an F-statistics of 658.525 and a p-value of .000, the study stated that there is a statistically significant relationship between management buy-in and continuance commitment. Sequel to this, it was concluded that knowledge management as measured by management buy-in, spurs employee commitment level. Among others, it was recommended that the management of the studied institutions needs to take the issue of management of knowledge serious, by ensuring that the older and more experienced staff pass their wealth of knowledge to the younger and less experienced ones, as this will breed an environment of positive competence.

Meten van verzuilde politiek in media
Authors: Wijfjes Huub , Voerman Gerrit , Bos Patrick
Published: September 2021

Sinds het einde van de vorige eeuw houden mediahistorici zich meer bezig met de manier waarop media-inhoud tot stand is gekomen en welke betekenis dat heeft gehad voor publieksgroepen en maatschappelijk-politieke realiteiten. In dit artikel wordt gepoogd deze benadering te combineren met digital history, aan de hand van het verzuilingsdebat en gebruik makend van de digitale krantencollectie van de Koninklijke Bibliotheek van Nederland. Enerzijds wordt onderzocht in hoeverre de veronderstelde ideologische gebondenheid van dagbladen in de jaren 1918-1967 zichtbaar wordt in de hoeveelheid kopij waarmee katholieke en sociaaldemocratische kranten over politiek hebben bericht en hoe verschillen daarin te verklaren zijn. Anderzijds wordt door het testen van kwantitatieve methoden uit de digital humanities geprobeerd een bijdrage te leveren aan digitale bronnenkritiek voor historisch onderzoek.Since the end of the last century media historians have taken an interest in researching the origins and development of media content and its significance for audiences and socio-political realities. This article seeks to combine this approach with digital history. It does so by focusing on the pillarisation debate and by utilising the digital newspaper collection of the National Library of the Netherlands. On the one hand, this article investigates to what extent the ideological background of the Catholic and Social Democratic press is actually reflected in the number of newspaper articles reporting on politics written between 1918-1967, and how any differences can be explained. On the other hand, by testing quantitative methods from the digital humanities, the article attempts to contribute to digital source criticism for historical research.

A hiperidrose é uma condição que causa suor excessivo e desconforto, acarretando um impacto emocional e psicológico nos portadores. Essa patologia pode se apresentar de forma primária, como uma alteração crônica, idiopática e simétrica e de forma secundária, caracterizada por associar disfunções endócrinas. Os tratamentos podem ser invasivos e não invasivos temporários como a toxina botulínica, que se mostra eficaz trazendo um resultado satisfatório. A toxina botulínica é uma potente neurotoxina produzida pela bactéria Clostridium botulinum e seu uso tem se tornado constante para diversos tratamentos como o da hiperidrose. Existem oito tipos de TxB, porém o mais estudado e utilizado principalmente para finalidades médicas e estéticas, é o tipo A, que faz ligação nas terminações nervosas das fibras simpáticas pós-ganglionares e inervam as glândulas sudoríparas promovendo efeitos de paralisia na junção neuromuscular e assim inibindo a liberação da acetilcolina, causando uma diminuição da contração muscular. As aplicações devem ser manipuladas por profissionais capacitados e devem ser antecedidas pelo teste de Minor que irá determinar a intensidade da hiperidrose e os locais mais afetados. Sabe-se que, apesar de ser um tratamento seguro e eficaz, é necessário realizar reaplicações após o período de ação da toxina, uma vez que sua duração varia entre 4 e 6 meses, dependendo da fisiologia do organismo da pessoa tratada.

A Herpes Zoster é caracterizada como uma doença causada pela reativação do Vírus Varicela Zoster, que se encontra latente em células dos nervos cranianos, raízes dorsais dos nervos e gânglios nervosos após um episódio de Varicela. Geralmente aparecem como um exantema vesicular doloroso localizado num dermátomo.  É considerada uma patologia comum, em pessoas com mais de 50 anos, por conta da imunossenescência. O diagnóstico é feito de forma clínica, por profissional qualificado, existe a exceção em pacientes com manifestações atípicas ou com algumas complicações. O tratamento para herpes zoster geralmente é feito com o uso de antivirais, analgésicos para controlar a dor e o paciente deve manter cuidados com a pele para prevenir possível infecção bacteriana.  Os antivirais usados, que geralmente são o Valaciclovir e o Famciclovir, devem ser iniciados com o tratamento dentro de 72 horas após o começo dos sintomas, desse modo os sintomas e dores são controlados de forma mais rápida para o conforto do paciente já que a infeção, a duração da fase eruptiva e a intensidade da dor aguda são muito incomodas. É estimado que aproximadamente 90% da população mundial possua o vírus do herpes no organismo. Porém somente 10 a 15% manifesta os sintomas.  As formas de prevenção do herpes zoster incluem medidas de proteção e diminuição do contágio através de diminuição de contato, imunoglobulinas e vacina. A vacina para prevenção da HZ se apresenta eficaz na redução da incidência do HZ. Inclusive pessoas com mais de 50 anos podem ser vacinadas sem contraindicações.

Published: September 2021

Faz-se necessário desconstruir preconceitos e discriminação racial na sociedade, ressignificando a qualidade da prática docente e desfazendo crenças limitantes nos sujeitos, estimulando a prática da busca dos seus direito legais como cidadão. E tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura a fim de relatar como é a educação das relações étnico-raciais nos cursos de pedagogia. Como material e método utilizado para a execução desse trabalho, realizamos uma busca da literatura em maio de 2021, nas bases de dados Periódicos Capes e Google Acadêmico utilizando as palavras-chave: ‘’Cursos de pedagogia’’ AND ‘’Educação’’ AND ‘’Lei 10.639/2003’’ AND e ‘’Relações étnico-raciais’’ e, em inglês Education AND Ethnic-racial relationships AND Law 10.639/2003 AND Pedagogy course. A pesquisa possibilitou identificar 02 artigos condizentes aos critérios estabelecidos. Os resultados dessa busca foram 531 artigos e após o critério de exclusão 529 artigos não foram elegíveis. Dos 02 elegíveis para a pesquisa, 100% mostram que não é dada a devida importância à temática ou a mesma vem sendo ministrada apenas para cumprir o cronograma curricular como disciplinas optativas. Portanto, concluímos que alguns estudantes do curso de pedagogia, dessas universidades, não apresentaram interesse na temática étnico-racial. Além disso, esse conteúdo não tinha muita divulgação, quando ministrada, ela era apresentada de forma despretensiosa.  E, esse fato é reforçado sendo a disciplina eletiva, cabendo ao aluno decidir cursar ou não.

Published: September 2021

Um fator que vem sendo investigado como elemento de grande influência na fisiopatologia de doenças neurodegenerativas é o estresse oxidativo. É possível defini-lo como um desequilíbrio entre a produção de radicais livres e a capacidade de defesa antioxidante do organismo. O objetivo deste artigo foi revisar a participação do estresse oxidativo como alvo de grande influência na Doença de Alzheimer. A Doença de Alzheimer é a causa mais comum de síndrome demencial, ocasionada pela perda neuronal do córtex e degeneração sináptica. Além disso, afeta a qualidade de vida do indivíduo, desenvolvimento econômico e social e impacta de forma significativa na estrutura familiar. Os danos oxidativos ocorrem devido agentes promotores de radicais livres, como radiação, poluição e estresse. Podem ocasionar em danificação de tecidos, aceleramento do envelhecimento e mutações no DNA mitocondrial.

Authors: Costa Alexandro Moraes da , Lobo Lívia Cabral , Silva Michel Santos da , Andrade Leonardo Guimarães de
Published: September 2021

Os conceitos de Atenção Farmacêutica foram analisados desde a sua origem, nos Estados Unidos, e as contribuições posteriores provenientes da Espanha e do esforço de sistematização pela Organização Mundial da Saúde para compreender o processo que vem ocorrendo no Brasil. Após o abandono das farmácias comunitárias, os farmacêuticos brasileiros esperam que esse novo modelo de prática seja um caminho para o resgate do seu papel social. A filosofia que orienta a Atenção Farmacêutica, o enfoque centrado no paciente, em nosso entendimento, deve suportar filosófica e conceitualmente a reconstrução da prática farmacêutica no Brasil a fim de resgatar a relação farmacêutico-paciente nas farmácias comunitárias. A atenção farmacêutica é um serviço prestado pelo farmacêutico, por meio de uma consulta com o paciente, para que ele tenha, a partir do uso correto de medicamentos, resultados positivos que melhore a sua saúde e a qualidade de vida. O farmacêutico especializado em atenção farmacêutica é o profissional adequado para prevenir, detectar e resolver problemas relacionados ao uso de medicamentos para garantir que o paciente tenha os resultados esperados com o seu tratamento. O serviço de Atenção Farmacêutica não substitui a consulta médica. Sendo assim, o farmacêutico deve orientar o paciente a buscar a assistência necessária de outros profissionais de saúde. A atuação profissional do farmacêutico em atenção farmacêutica tem crescido e sido notada como fundamental para prevenir, identificar e resolver os problemas relacionados ao uso do medicamento. O farmacêutico especializado em atenção farmacêutica contribui com seus conhecimentos para assessorar o paciente sobre o uso, dose, armazenamento, frequência, administração e horários correto de medicamentos.

Ideas and Perspectives: Enhancing research and monitoring of carbon pools and land-to-atmosphere greenhouse gases exchange in developing countries
Authors: Kim Dong-Gill , Bond-Lamberty Ben , Ryu Youngryel , Seo Bumsuk , Papale Dario
Published: September 2021

Abstract. Carbon (C) and greenhouse gas (GHG) research has traditionally required data collection and analysis using advanced and often expensive instruments, complex and proprietary software, and skilled technicians. Partly as a result, relatively little C and GHG research has been conducted in resource-constrained developing countries. At the same time, these are the same countries and regions in which climate-change impacts will likely be strongest, and in which major science uncertainties are centred, given the importance of dryland and tropical systems to the global C cycle. Increasingly, scientific communities have adopted appropriate technology and approach (AT&A) for C and GHG research, which focuses on low-cost and low-technology instruments, open source software and data, and participatory and networking-based research approaches. Adopting AT&A can mean acquiring data with fewer technical constraints and lower economic burden and is thus a strategy for enhancing C and GHG research in developing countries. However, AT&A can be characterized by higher uncertainties; these can often be mitigated by carefully designing experiments, providing clear protocols for data collection, and monitoring and validating the quality of obtained data. For implementing this approach in developing countries, it is first necessary to recognize the scientific and moral importance of AT&A. At the same time, new AT&A techniques should be identified and further developed. All these processes should be promoted in collaboration with local researchers and through training local staff and encouraged for wide use and further innovation in developing countries.
Escarpment retreat rates derived from detrital cosmogenic nuclide concentrations
Authors: Wang Yanyan , Willett Sean D.
Published: September 2021

Abstract. High-relief great escarpments at passive margins present
a paradoxical combination of high-relief topography but low erosion rates
suggesting low rates of landscape change. However, vertical erosion rates do
not offer a straightforward metric of horizontal escarpment retreat rates,
so we attempt to address this problem in this paper. We show that detrital
cosmogenic nuclide concentrations can be interpreted as a
directionally dependent mass flux to characterize patterns of non-vertical
landscape evolution, e.g., an escarpment characterized by horizontal retreat.
We present two methods for converting cosmogenic nuclide concentrations into
escarpment retreat rates and calculate the retreat rates of escarpments with
published cosmogenic 10Be concentrations from the Western Ghats of
India. Escarpment retreat rates of the Western Ghats inferred from this
study vary within a range of hundreds to thousands of meters per Myr. We show that the
current position and morphology of the Western Ghats are consistent with an
escarpment retreating at a near-constant rate from the coastline since
rifting.

Different Mechanism Involvement in the Formation of Colorectal Cancer; Mega Review
Authors: Ali Muhammad , Wang Yang , Zhang Qi
Published: September 2021

Colorectal cancer was infrequently diagnosed several decades ago. Nowadays, it is the world's fourth most deadly cancer with almost 900,000 deaths annually. Colorectal cancer had a low incidence several decades ago. However, it has become predominant cancer and now accounts for approximately 10% of cancer-related mortality in western countries. The ‘rise’ of colorectal cancer in developed countries can be attributed to the increasingly aging population, unfavorable modern dietary habits and an increase in risk factors such as smoking, low physical exercise and obesity. New treatments for primary and metastatic colorectal cancer have emerged, providing additional options for patients; these treatments include laparoscopic surgery for primary disease, more aggressive resection of metastatic disease (such as liver and pulmonary metastases), radiotherapy for rectal cancer and neoadjuvant and palliative chemotherapies. However, these new treatment options have had a limited impact on cure rates and long-term survival.

Objective: To evaluate neuropathic pain (NP), its intensity, and complications in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a city of eastern São Paulo.

Method: Cross-sectional study conducted with 96 individuals with T2DM served by primary health units in São João da Boa Vista-SP. The following instruments were used to screen NP: Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument, Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs, Douleur Neuropathique 4, and Brief Pain Inventory. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, with a 5 % significance level.

Results: Of the 96 people with T2DM for longer than five years, 22.9 % had pain. NP was related to high levels of fasting blood glucose (mean = 214 ± 65.58 mg/dl; p = 0.0002), glycated hemoglobin (mean = 8.8 ± 0.11 %; p < 0.001), absence of a balanced diet (p = 0.0066), obesity (p = 0.023), and high blood pressure (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: Higher values ​​of glycated hemoglobin rates increased three times the chance of NP. The screening and management of painful diabetic neuropathy is a challenge but adopting a screening protocol supports the secondary prevention of this manifestation.
