Salud Mental Comunitaria en el primer nivel de atención: Aprendizajes y desafíos en contexto de Pandemia
Authors: Bang Claudia
Published: September 2024

Este escrito surge de la experiencia de acompañamiento y capacitación a equipos interdisciplinarios de salud mental del primer nivel de atención en contexto de pandemia por coronavirus. Dichas instancias han formado parte de un proceso de readecuación de estrategias y prácticas grupales y comunitarias, para dar cumplimiento a las medidas preventivas de distanciamiento físico. El objetivo de este trabajo es describir y analizar dicho proceso, identificando aprendizajes, obstáculos y desafíos. Metodológicamente, se trata de un estudio cualitativo, exploratorio y descriptivo, basado en la sistematización y análisis de registros que recuperan los discursos de los/las trabajadores/as de equipos de salud mental de centros de salud ubicados en el oeste y sur del conurbano bonaerense y Ciudad de Buenos Aires. Como resultado, se han diferenciado tres momentos de un proceso caracterizado por un esfuerzo sostenido en recrear formas de acompañamiento y vinculación con familias y comunidad en cada territorio. Entre los aprendizajes se destaca el desarrollo de prácticas múltiples para la generación, sostenimiento y fortalecimiento de redes y vínculos de cuidados a nivel institucional y comunitario. Una potencia ha estado dada por el desarrollo de estrategias comunitarias móviles, flexibles y creativas, y su articulación con dispositivos asistenciales como aporte a un abordaje integral en contexto de alta complejidad.
El derecho a tener derechos (Arendt, Los orígenes del totalitarismo). A propósito de la edición del Derecho y salud mental, de Alfredo Jorge Kraut.
Authors: Desviat Manuel
Published: September 2024

Hasta tiempos no muy lejanos, escribe Aída Kemelmajer de Carlucci en el prólogo a Derecho y Salud mental, una mirada interdisciplinaria (Kraut, 2020), los juristas no mencionaban a los derechos humanos cuando acordaban los temas de capacidad de las personas y menos aún, podríamos añadir, si se trataba de discapacitados con diagnóstico de salud mental. De esto, y de la vulneración legal de los derechos humanos de los sufridores mentales, considerado como algo natural por los propios juristas, viene dando cuenta Alfredo Kraut en su ya larga trayectoria y en su más de una treintena de libros publicados. Una muestra de ello es el que acaba de aparecer en la editorial argentina Rubinzal-Culzoni, especializada en temas jurídicos, donde reúne a abogados, fiscales, profesores universitarios, jueces, psiquiatras y psicólogos en una amplia obra de más de 40 capítulos.
Experiencias Triestinas
Authors: Azar Bon Benjamín
Published: September 2024

Si hablar de la obra de un autor siempre es un trabajo complejo -ya que no solo se valora lo que dice, sino también cómo, cuándo y desde dónde- la reseña de un libro como Experiencias Triestinas, que reúne ocho autores y tres entrevistas es, al menos, un desafío. A pesar que podría, y por caso no estaría mal, reseñar capítulo por capítulo dando rienda suelta a la heterogeneidad que supone la escritura en conjunto, prefiero tomar la decisión de trabajar con el libro como una unidad, lo cual (y acá viene la primera valoración) no será tan difícil como parece, ya que, a pesar de la multiplicidad de autores, se conduce con una llamativa organicidad y fluidez en el devenir de sus capítulos (punto para la compiladora).
Salud Mental y enfoque de derechos. Brechas entre lo propositivo de la ley y las prácticas institucionales
Authors: Gallego Gastaldo Antonella
Published: September 2024

Desde una perspectiva de derechos humanos que ha posibilitado la recuperación de la subjetividad de lxs usuarixs del sistema de salud mental, la Ley Nacional de Salud Mental, sancionada en el año 2010, pone en tensión los discursos y prácticas ligadas a una configuración sociohistórica de la salud. Pero su puesta en marcha requiere de una coordinación y articulación de los distintos subsectores de salud que conforman el modelo nacional de gestión de la salud y, específicamente, del subsector público-estatal como efector de políticas sociales para un acceso universal al sistema. Por tanto, este artículo pretende situarnos en el marco y contexto normativo bajo el cual se llevan a cabo las demandas por el derecho a la salud mental en la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina. Los intereses, las identidades y los sentidos políticos que entran en disputa, lo que posibilitará comprender la distancia entre los avances normativos y los mecanismos instituciones que median los procesos de transformación en materia de salud mental.
Registro en Salud Mental: Instrumento y Estrategia para pensar los procesos de atención durante la pandemia
Authors: Ballatore Sabrina Ana , Boris Paula
Published: September 2024

Este escrito surge de la experiencia de trabajo durante los primeros meses de pandemia por Covid-19 en una institución del primer nivel de atención en una pequeña localidad al sur de Santa Fe. Durante este período los abordajes, procesos de atención y estrategias han tenido que ser transformadas y adecuadas a las nuevas medidas preventivas de distanciamiento físico. Frente a esta nueva realidad, el objetivo de este trabajo es poder analizar, describir y comparar los procesos de atención durante este periodo de trabajo en relación al año anterior. Como instrumento principal para llevar adelante el análisis se tomaron los registros en salud mental obtenidos desde SICAP (Sistema de Integral para los Centros de Atención Primaria). Los diagnósticos obtenidos en los registros se agruparon en Problemáticas socio-subjetivas que surgen como categorías para pensar la accesibilidad y los procesos de salud-enfermedad-cuidados. Durante el análisis y a modo de reflexión se observa que los motivos de consultas, las prácticas y sus condiciones se diferencian entre el año 2019 y el 2020; debido a las medidas preventivas adoptadas por las instituciones de salud para la atención de la población.
Sobre el uso de drogas en la historia y sus regulaciones antes del prohibicionismo
Authors: Russo Daniel
Published: September 2024

Este trabajo se propone abordar las prácticas de regulación del uso de sustancias psicoactivas a lo largo de la historia por parte de los poderes públicos, tanto políticos como religiosos. La revisión general de estudios en la materia suele limitar las experiencias de persecución y castigo al proceso político institucional denominado prohibicionismo, iniciado en los albores del siglo pasado. Esta delimitación temporal se explica por tratarse del momento histórico de mayor articulación de políticas detrás del objetivo de reprimir la cadena de producción, distribución, comercialización y consumo de ciertas drogas ilegalizadas. Recuperar las experiencias de regulación del uso de sustancias desde tiempos remotos permite identificar con mayor precisión el carácter religioso y moralista que sostiene el actual Régimen Internacional de Drogas Ilícitas.
Hegemonía y contrahegemonías en Salud Mental. La propuesta de la clínica placera
Authors: Augman Ricardo Alberto , Azar Bon Benjamín , Garzón Ana Cecilia , Henning Bruno
Published: September 2024

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo realizar una reflexión teórica sobre la llamada Clínica Placera, desarrollada en las plazas de Asunción por el psiquiatra y antropólogo paraguayo Agustín Barúa Caffarena. En la búsqueda de reflexionar sobre las prácticas latinoamericanas emancipadoras este texto pone en tensión alguno de los ejes de la Clínica Placera con la práctica hegemónica en salud mental. A lo largo del trabajo se identificarán aquellos ejes que permiten caracterizar a la Clínica Placera como un dispositivo con rasgos contrahegemónicos desde los postulados éticos y teóricos de la salud mental comunitaria.
Ensayos decoloniales sobre la ciencia y el derecho a la salud mental de Leandro Luciani Conde, publicado por Editorial FEDUN
Authors: Fränkel Daniel
Published: September 2024

La aventura colonial de estos tiempos lleva el ritmo del control y vigilancia; una lógica maquínica, tecnocrática, que cada vez más convierte al mundo y al trabajo vivo en una utopía. Un mundo gobernado por el saber y poder tecnológico sin cuerpos y sin sujetos hegemonizado por el mercado y por las reglas financieras. Se trata de un mundo en el cual se van dinamizando consensos asociados a las cambiantes estructuras del poder de estos tiempos. En este marco inquieta el renovado escenario hegemónico signado por las desigualdades materiales y simbólicas. Históricamente los consensos materiales aseguran también su lugar en el campo del conocimiento. La utópica idea del derrame material se acompaña por la difusión en el campo del conocimiento de modo que de este modo se reafirme la hegemonía del norte por sobre el sur. Un horizonte en el que confrontan y resisten epistemologías.
Algunas aproximaciones al diálogo entre antropología y salud mental
Authors: Gil Mariano , Guirado Carla , Llovera Soledad
Published: September 2024

En este trabajo nos proponemos presentar una primera aproximación sobre algunos aportes de la antropología para pensar el campo de la salud mental, tanto en los terrenos de la investigación y la intervención, como en sus bordes. Construimos la trama del mismo a partir del enlace entre teoría, metodología y experiencias de participación de sus autores/as en equipos interdisciplinarios en salud mental.
En sintonía con la Ley Provincial santafesina 10.772 y la Ley Nacional de Salud Mental 26.657, entendemos al dispositivo manicomial no únicamente como institución, sino como modelo sociocultural de concebir y tratar los padecimientos. Ante esto, nos preguntamos: ¿qué grieta puede abrir allí una mirada antropológica? Destacamos la potencia de la misma para problematizar las construcciones de lo normal/anormal, lo moral/lo inmoral, lo diverso, la alteridad/otredad/mismidad, los procesos de estigmatización, así como los de cuidado.
Asimismo, creemos que herramientas de la antropología tales como la escucha atenta, el registro exhaustivo y el intento permanente por vincular aspectos singulares con coordenadas histórico-culturales permiten reponer la dimensión cotidiana de los procesos sociales. Esto implica ubicar las historias singulares como parte de una trama colectiva, destacando las dimensiones sociales, culturales e históricas de los procesos de sufrimiento psíquico y padecimiento subjetivo.
La inclusión sociolaboral, una noción en construcción: abordajes presentes y situados en una organización de la Provincia de Buenos Aires
Authors: De La Fuente Goldman Julia , García Elena
Published: September 2024

El artículo se inscribe en una investigación etnográfica más amplia realizada en Argentina con organizaciones que promueven la inclusión social y laboral de personas con padecimientos subjetivos. Acorde a lo que sostiene la Ley Nacional de Salud Mental 26.657/2010 en su artículo 11, partimos de la noción inclusión social y laboral para analizar cómo se construye en una organización ubicada en la ciudad de La Plata, Provincia de Buenos Aires. Este trabajo desarrolla aspectos clave identificados en un trabajo anterior (de la FuenteGoldman y Garcia, 2022), pero tomados con mayor profundidad para poner a debate no sólo cómo dicha noción se construye en el día a día de la organización, sino también los efectos que produce en todos sus participantes, tanto las personas identificadas con padecimientos como las que inicialmente no son identificadas como tales. Nuestra perspectiva teórica y metodológica combina la etnografía y el enfoque sociolingüístico interaccional con el análisis semántico de los discursos.
De esta manera, presentamos una interpretación situada de la inclusión sociolaboral, ya que hemos documentado cómo se pone en práctica y de qué manera se la retoma a nivel discursivo para construir significado en interacción. Nuestro trabajo se desarrolla de acuerdo a un enfoque colaborativo y de propiedad colectiva de conocimiento (Heras, 2014), que expresa una compleja trama de pensamiento entre las autoras en vínculos múltiples con distintos participantes.
Salud Mental y violencia de género en tiempos pandémicos
Authors: Caponi Sandra
Published: September 2024

El día 10 de junio de 2021, la Organización Mundial de Salud lanzó las “Orientaciones sobre servicios de salud mental comunitaria” (WHO, 2022), promoviendo un abordaje de la salud mental global centrada en la persona y basada en los derechos humanos. Este documento presenta, en más de 300 páginas, una crítica contundente al modelo psiquiátrico centrado en la definición y multiplicación de diagnósticos y terapéuticas psicofarmacológicas. La fragilidad de ese modelo fue cuestionada en diferentes momentos históricos, desde las críticas dirigidas al encierro en los manicomios, hasta las actuales críticas dirigidas a la psicofarmacologización de los sufrimientos cotidianos.
Mujeres en el manicomio (las que aún allí viven, las que trabajamos, las del barrio...)
Authors: Maruelli María Belén , Azzerboni Camila
Published: September 2024

En el contexto de las luchas históricas por la desmanicomialización, en un momento en el que la instalación de la idea de transformación del modelo de producción de cuidados en salud se propone plantar bandera, es necesario ubicar como central en el camino de democratización de los procesos de adecuación, sustitución y cierre de los manicomios, esos espacios de encuentros que permiten reconocer en la micropolíticala posibilidad real de sentirnos con el derecho de negar lo que aparece como inevitablemente establecido, como sólidamente estructural, como irremediable status quo (Campos, 1993).

El presente escrito condensa una estela de interrogantes e investigaciones que han ido detrás de una pregunta-preocupación, afinada a partir de diálogos e intercambios con colegas, amigxs, interlocutorxs varixs y actorxs diversos de los dominios de interés: ¿qué pueden aportar los estudios de la comunicación social y la cultura a la transformación del campo de la salud mental? Al indagar posibles respuestas teóricas, prácticas en acto y aportes útiles, desde la perspectiva de los problemas propios de la comunicación y la cultura, he ensayado por más de diez años múltiples puertas de entrada a tal cuestión: filosófica, política, sociológica, histórica, artística, semiótica, epistemológica, económica, etc.
Complejidades en las relaciones Salud y Comunicación. Apuntes para pensar la salud mental comunitaria
Authors: Bottinelli Marcela
Published: September 2024

Las relaciones entre salud y comunicación requieren la contemplación del recorrido histórico de dichos conceptos y la consideración de estos como dimensión de la vida social. La complejidad implicada en este reconocimiento no es menor dado que el debate en torno a los múltiples niveles de análisis involucrados y las articulaciones entre estos campos se sostienen en sus devenires histórico-sociales, sus delimitaciones teóricas, epistemológicas y metodológicas y, por ende, en los posicionamientos ontológicos y ético políticos en los que explícita o implícitamente se sustenten.

Historias memorables. Sobre los trabajos de la memoria a través de activismos artísticos en salud mental y derechos humanos
Authors: La Haije Marileen
Published: September 2024

Este artículo se centra en los trabajos de la memoria realizados por colectivos artísticos en el Cono Sur que promueven los derechos de personas con sufrimiento mental, reconociendo la proliferación diversa de sus prácticas (muralismo, coproducciones literariasy cinematográficas, pintura y dibujo, documentación fotográfica, juegos narrativos, creaciones textiles, música, danza, teatro, etc.). Argumento que estos colectivos buscan visibilizar personas con sufrimiento mental como sujetos de memoria, y con ello, sujetos de derecho. Dan lugar a coproducciones artísticas que (re) valorizan memorias dolorosas de sufrimiento psíquico y encierro. Crean espacios comunitarios para compartir memorias y lazos sociales entre personas que han sido psiquiatrizadas a través de lenguajes artísticos diversos. Denuncian las desmemorias en la sociedad con respecto a las personas que padecen psíquicamente. Mis reflexiones se basan en las entrevistas que realicé con actores sociales clave en el campo: artistas, activis-tas, expertas y expertos por experiencia, trabajadores de salud, estudiantes, investigadores y otras personas comprometidas con los activismos en salud mental y derechos humanos en Argentina, Chile y Uruguay.
Redes: lo propio del barrio como potencia
Authors: Vescio Julieta Melisa
Published: September 2024

Este escrito se centrará en el reconocimiento de redes durante un proceso de externación a través de una viñeta-situación. Se pretende hacer foco en el abordaje comunitario de las redes, ubicando este cómo una característica esencial y protagónica. Los procesos de externación incluyen una multiplicidad de dimensiones complejas. En este trabajo se desarrollarán solo algunos puntos: redes y sus niveles de construcción, los obstáculos y potencialidades, controversias al desarrollar el trabajo, la presencia/ausencia de los equipos de salud y la introducción de preguntas que pretenden ser desandadoras. El escrito proviene de la experiencia de haber transitado una rotación de segundo año en un dispositivo de internación, enmarcada en una Residencia Interdisciplinaria en Salud Mental (RISaM), y es resultado de un proceso necesariamente colectivo que habilita el pensar la práctica con compañerxs residentes.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: Na+/H+ exchanger type 1 (NHE-1) is a validated drug target for the treatment of cardiovascular and ophthalmic diseases due to the cytoprotective, anti-ischemic and anti-inflammatory properties of NHE-1 inhibitors. This article presents data on the synthesis and pharmacological activity studies of novel guanidine derivatives of quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione 6-11 and reference drugs amiloride, rimeporide, zoniporide, dexamethasone, aminoguanidine, and acetylsalicylic acid.

Materials and Methods: Pharmacological properties were assessed using pH-dependent platelets deformation assay, anti-inflammatory activity assay on LPS-stimulated peritoneal macrophages, antiglycation assay, analysis of platelet aggregation in vitro and measurement of intraocular pressure in vivo.

Results: Several compounds combine NHE-1 inhibition with antiglaucomic and antiplatelet activity. Compound 11 significantly inhibits pro-inflammatory activation of murine macrophages (IC50 15.64 μM) and effectively suppresses the formation of glycated proteins (38.1±2.6% in C 1 mM).

Conclusion: The investigated compounds represent a promising scaffold for development of agents for the treatment of cardiovascular pathologies, glaucoma, excessive inflammation, and late diabetic complications including retina diabetics and thrombosis.
Effect of pre-sowing treatments on seed germination and postgerminative seedling growth of acacia angustissima (mill.)
Authors: Ambebe Titus Fondo , Awazi Nyong Princely
Published: September 2024

Seeds of Acacia angustissima were subjected to a control and five pre-sowing (soaking in cold water for 24 hours, soaking in hot water (100° C) for 5 minutes, immersion in 60 % H2SO4 for 30 seconds, immersion in 60 % H2SO4 for 5 minutes, and immersion in 60 % H2SO4 for 15 minutes) treatments. The number of seeds that sprouted was recorded daily for calculation of germination indices. When there had been no further germination in any of the treatments for four weeks, the height, number of leaves, number of leaflets, and root length of seedlings were determined. One-way analysis of variance was used to test the effects of the pre-sowing treatments on seed germination and seedling growth. Final Germination Percentage, Germination Rate Index, and Seedling Vigour Index were significantly higher in the warm water than other five treatments which displayed similar responses of the traits. Similar, the warm water pre-treatment resulted in the longest seedlings, when shoot height and / or root length was considered. There was no significant effect of treatment on Mean Germination Time, number of leaves, and number of leaflets. The findings suggest that hot water pre-sowing treatment is the most suitable for seed germination and initial seedling height attainment of Acacia angustissima.
Effect of Adeno-Associated Virus-Transfected Mesenchymal Stem Cells Containing Agents On Bone Formation in Extended İnter-Premaxillary Suture in Rats
Authors: Eraydin Feyza , Cumbul Alev , Kurnaz Merve , Ozdemir Fulya
Published: September 2024

Aim:
The aim of this study was to investigate the histomorphometric effects of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transfected with Adeno Associated Virus (AAV) and containing bone morphogenic protein 7 (Bmp7) or osteoprotegerin (OPG) on bone formation after injection into inter-premaxillary suture in rats with Bmp7 or OPG alone.
Materials and methods:
In 4 groups (each group n:9), different chemical solutions, namely AAV-Bmp7, AAV-OPG and AAV-Bmp7-OPG and AAV-EGF (control group) were injected into the interpremaxillary suture of rats. Bone volumes (BV), soft tissue volume (STV) and total bone volumes (TBV) of 10 μm serial selection with hemotoxylin and eosin staining were calculated according to the Cavalieri principle. Each point in the region of interest was 1000μm3.
Results:
The BV for AAV-Bmp7, AAV-OPG, AAV-Bmp7-OPG and AAV-EGF were 46.98±1.50 mm3, 49.40±4.72 mm3, 42.58±2.89 mm3 and 38.82±0.76 mm3, respectively. The STV was 11.53±0.99, 13.31±1.88, 8.00±4.43 and 9.57±1.90 mm3 for Bmp7, OPG, AAV-Bmp7-OPG and AAV-EGF, respectively. TBV was 58.34±2.28 mm3, 63.83±5.17 mm3, 53.74±3.34 mm3 and 48.13±1.54 mm3 for AAV-Bmp7, AAV-OPG, AAV-Bmp7-OPG and AAV-EGF, respectively. The comparison between BV, STV, TBV for AAV-OPG showed a statistically significant difference (p=0.001) compared to AAV-Bmp7 or AAV-Bmp7-OPG and AAV-EGF.
Conclusion:
During tooth movement and bone remodeling, the ratio of soft and bone tissues is maintained by OPG. Although Bmp7 is not as effective as OPG in bone remodeling, both can reduce the retention time and the risk of recurrence.
The cytotoxic effect of 4 different wavelengths of Low-level laser therapy on squamous cell carcinoma – An invitro study
Authors: Tonkaboni Arghavan , Tatar Alten , Motlagh Kimia Hafezi , Fekrazad Reza
Published: September 2024

Background: Low-level laser therapy is a noninvasive method with the potential ability to change the balance of cell mediators and gene expressions. It affects cellular function resulting in beneficial clinical effects. This study aims to assess the effect of low-level light therapy (LLLT) using four different laser wavelengths on oral carcinoma cell viability in vitro.
Methods and Material: HN5 human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell lines (HNSCC) were cultured and irradiated using four wavelengths of blue (485 nm), green (532nm), red (660 nm), and near Infra-red (810 nm) in a continuous mode with a dose of 1 J/cm2 (0.1W, 10sec) every 24hours for five consecutive days. Cell viability was assessed by evaluating mitochondrial activity by MTT assay.
Results: All the wavelengths resulted in reduced viability of these cells compared to the controls. (P<0.05) There were statistically significant differences in cell viability between different wavelengths (P<0.001). The 810 nm laser irradiation showed the highest percentage of cell survival (55.92%) while 660 nm induced the lowest (36.02%).
Conclusion: Different laser wavelengths may result in different effects on irradiated cells and red irradiation showed the lowest cell viability and the infrared laser had the highest cell viability results.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: Marginal immigrants cause many problems in economic, social and cultural, physical ,and environmental aspects of cities. This study aims to investigate the factors affecting migration to Kerman city and the problems of marginalized immigrants using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) models.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2022, with a sample size of 147 households selected from Kerman suburban region. The data were collected by a standardized questionnaire measuring effective factors on the migration and the checklist of the immigrant problems.
Results: The most important immigration factors were economic, social, geographical, political, educational and religious-cultural factors, respectively. Among 37 components studied, transferring the job of the family man as the family head, being on the main  land, air and rail ways, having a special position at the international level, burying the family’s dead members in the desired city, and the education of the wife or one of the children of the family were the most important components. 
According to the results, more than 90% did not have access to public baths, sports facilities, government centers, private institutions, and parks, and recreational spaces.
Conclusion: According to AHP model, economic factors ,and then social factors, were the most important reasons for migrating to the suburbs of Kerman. Therefore, it is suggested to create stable and long-term job opportunities , improve employment and business environment in the cities, and develop infrastructure to control migration to the city capitals.

Psychometric Validation of a New Measure of Employability Skills Self-Efficacy for College Students With Disabilities
Authors: Smedema Susan M. , Ruiz Derek , Chan Fong
Published: September 2024

This study examined the measurement structure of a new measure of employability skills self-efficacy, the “Employability Self-Efficacy of College Students with Disabilities Scale,” in a sample of college students with disabilities. One hundred and ninety-five college students with disabilities completed a survey including the Employability Self-Efficacy of College Students with Disabilities Scale and other selected employment and well-being scales. An exploratory factor analysis indicated a one-factor solution for the scale, accounting for 38.90% of the total variance. The internal consistency reliability coefficient for the scale was .95. The scale was found to significantly correlate with other employment and well-being variables in theoretically expected directions. The results showed that the one-factor measurement structure of the Employability Self-Efficacy of College Students with Disabilities Scale appears to be valid and can be used in higher education and rehabilitation counseling settings to target areas of employability skills where students feel least confident, to prepare them for employment success after graduation.
Adults’ Recollections of Support and Closeness During Adolescence Amid Interparental Conflict
Authors: Groper Galit , Mehlhausen-Hassoen David , Winstok Zeev
Published: September 2024

This study examined adults’ memories of childhood exposure to interparental conflict, including support for and closeness to each parent. Closeness and support were explored based on three dimensions: dyadic concordance types of intimate partner violence (father to mother, mother to father, or both), form of violence (verbal or physical), and sex. This study featured 548 Israeli adults who completed a retrospective questionnaire on their parents’ interparental violence, their level of support for each parent during conflict, and their closeness to each parent. The results revealed a notable pattern: adolescents exhibited greater support and closeness toward nonviolent parents compared to violent parents, irrespective of the form of violence. Sex differences emerged across types and severity of violence. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.

Authors: Putri Nelsya Safira Aulia , Arfianti Lydia , Desnantyo Andre Triadi , Wardhani Indrayuni Lukitra
Published: September 2024

Highlights:

Being overweight can be one of the causes of flat foot.
A person with flat feet may experience pain in the medial malleolus area and discomfort when tiptoeing.

 
Abstract
Introduction: A flat foot is an arch deformity, and being overweight is one of the risk factors. It can cause problems such as fatigue, pain in the ankle and back, foot pain (especially during long walks or sports), and disturbances in balance and walking patterns. This study aimed to examine the relationship between flat feet (measured using Clarke's angle) and overweight students at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Airlangga.
Methods: This study used an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional method, gathering primary data directly from the research sample. The data were analyzed using the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26.
Results: Of the 56 samples meeting inclusion criteria, most cases of flat foot occurred in males. A total of 36 research subjects were overweight or obese, evenly split between females and males. Among the 112 samples, 19 had flat feet, and 93 did not. Chi-square test analysis indicated a highly significant p-value (0.001, p < 0.05), suggesting a significant relationship between flat feet and overweight.
Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between flat feet (measured using Clarke's angle) and overweight. The majority of subjects in this study were overweight based on body mass index (BMI), and most had a non-flat foot arch type. All cases of flat foot were found in subjects with overweight BMI.
Understanding the impact of work environment on employee well-being and cynicism: Insights from the hotel industry
Authors: Magdy Ahmed , Elbayoumi Salem Islam
Published: September 2024

Purpose – The paper aims to deepen the understanding of various psychological and
sociological theories that contend that people prefer to work in a healthy environment that
provide favorable working conditions, such as affective events theory, well-being theory,
leadership theory, and organizational support theory. Therefore, if the hospitality sector does
not provide appropriate working conditions and does not support psychological wellbeing, it
might be difficult to find motivated and devoted employees.
Methodology/Design/Approach – The study used a self-administered questionnaire and
opted for a descriptive-analytical design. Typically, the interviewer or a representative from
an official position hands out this kind of questionnaire to the interviewees. The researcher
contacted 396 front-line staff members at five-star hotels belonging to a chain in the most
popular tourist areas in Egypt. The data were analysed using the Smart PLS statistical program
to test the study hypotheses.
Findings – The paper provides insights into how toxic leadership negatively influences
employee wellbeing and positively influences behavioural cynicism. In addition, employee
silence significantly moderates the relationship concerning toxic leadership and employees’
outcomes (wellbeing and behavioural cynicism). These results raise a number of theoretical
and practical implications for hospitality practitioners.
Originality of the research – This paper fulfils an identified need to study various psychological
and sociological theories in the hospitality context to give more understanding of how
employee silence maximizes the negative consequences upon wellbeing. Furthermore, justifies
employees’ behavioural cynicism as a sign of indulging in a toxic leadership. Additionally,
in the academic literature on hospitality, this study is one of the very few that investigated
behavioural cynicism consequences and considered employee silence as a moderator.

To obtain carbon dots (CDs) with narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM) and long-wavelength emission, carbon sources with high conjugate sizes and abundant functional groups can be employed to synthesis CDs. In this study, orange-emissive carbon dots (OCDs) were synthesized with phloroglucinol and rhodamine B as precursors. When the molar ratio of them was 30:1 and ethanol was served as solvent, OCDs with optimized emission wavelength at approximately 580 nm, an FWHM of 30 nm and a quantum yield (QY) of 27.31% were obtained. Subsequently, the OCDs were incorporated into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to fabricate solid-state OCDs/PVA fluorescent films, which exhibited an FWHM of 47 nm. The PVA matrix facilitated the dispersion of OCDs, thereby suppressing non-radiative energy transfer among the OCDs and enhancing luminescence efficiency. Consequently, compared with OCDs, the OCDs/PVA film exhibited significant luminescent enhancement, and the QY of the composite film was increased to 84.74%. Moreover, OCDs/PVA film show good transmittance and thermal stability. This research offers a solid theoretical and experimental foundation for the potential applications of CDs in the fields of solid-state lighting.
The Impact of the Pdcd4, a Translation Inhibitor, on Drug Resistance
Authors: Wang Qing , Yang Hsin-Sheng
Published: September 2024

Programmed cell death 4 (Pdcd4) is a tumor suppressor, which has been demonstrated to efficiently suppress tumorigenesis. Biochemically, Pdcd4 binds with translation initiation factor 4A and represses protein translation. Beyond its role in tumor suppression, increasing evidence indicates that Pdcd4 enhances the chemosensitivity of several chemotherapeutic drugs. To date, several translational targets of Pdcd4 have been identified. These targets govern important signal transduction pathways, and their attenuation may enhance chemosensitivity or overcome drug resistance. This review will discuss the signal transduction pathways regulated by Pdcd4 and the potential mechanisms through which Pdcd4 enhances chemosensitivity or counteracts drug resistance.

Background/Objectives: In case of myocarditis, electrocardiogram (ECG) may suggest the pattern of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). NSTEMI pattern is less frequent in case of myocarditis, but it remains unclear if presence of ST segment elevation in case of myocarditis is related to more severe condition and more damage in myocardium. Methods: This is a retrospective study, involving 38 patients, admitted with myocarditis. Patients were divided into two groups – patients with ST segment elevation (STE) pattern in ECG (25) and patients without ST segment elevation (non-STE) pattern (13). The data compared were epidemiology, laboratory and instrumental tests results. Data was analysed using IBM SPSS Statistics v26.0. A p value <0,05 was concerned as statistically significant data. Results: C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were higher in STE group (103.40±82.04mg/l vs 43.54±61.93mg/l, p = 0.017). Left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) was significantly higher in non-STE pattern group (49.71±4.14 vs 56.58±3.99, p<0.001). Lower LVEF correlates with higher TnI levels (r= -0.353, p=0.032) and higher CRP levels (r = -0.554, p<0.001). Lower left ventricle (LV) strain correlates with higher levels of Troponin I (TnI( (r = -0.641, p = 0.013).Conclusions: LVEF in STE group was lower comparing to non-STE pattern group. STE pattern was associated with higher CRP levels. Higher TnI levels in case of myocarditis were associated with lower LV strain and lower LVEF, higher CRP levels also correlated with lower LVEF. Based by 6 months echocardiographic follow-up – the prognosis of myocarditis is favorable.

Published: September 2024

In inflationary cosmology the form of the potential is still an open problem. In this work, second-order effects of the inflationary potential are evaluated and related to the known formula for the primordial perturbations in a wide range of scales. We found effects that may help to unravel the unknown inflationary potential form and impose new constraints on the parameters that define this potential. In particular, we demonstrate here that even slight deviations in the inflaton potential can lead to significant differences in the calculated spectra if inflation persists for sufficiently long and the normal modes of perturbations are affected by these variations.

Published: September 2024

This review article explores the innovative application of software sensors for monitoring and controlling biosystems, emphasizing their advantage in managing the complexities of various biological processes. Biosystems—from cellular interactions to ecological dynamics—are characterized by intrinsic nonlinearity, temporal variability, and uncertainty, posing significant challenges for traditional monitoring approaches. A critical challenge highlighted is that what is typically measurable may not align with what needs to be monitored. Software sensors bridge this gap by combining hardware sensor data with advanced computational modelling techniques to indirectly infer hard-to-measure target variables, such as stress level, animal and human health indicators, and chemical soil properties. The article outlines advancements in sensor technologies and their integration into model-based monitoring and control systems, leveraging the capabilities of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, wearables, remote sensing, and smart sensors. It provides an overview of common methodologies for designing software sensors, focusing on the modelling process. The discussion contrasts hypothetico-deductive (mechanistic) models with inductive (data-driven) models, illustrating the trade-offs between model accuracy and interpretability. Specific case studies are presented, showcasing software sensor applications such as the use of Kalman filter in greenhouse control, remote detection of soil organic matter, and sound recognition algorithms for early detection of respiratory infections in animals. Key challenges in designing software sensors, including the complexity of biological systems, inherent temporal and individual variabilities, and the trade-offs between model simplicity and predictive performance, are also discussed. This article positions software sensor as remarkable tool for advancing biosystem management, driving forward the potential for sustainable practices in various sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, and environmental monitoring.

Authors: Qi Chang
Published: September 2024

Graph unlearning has emerged as a crucial technique in privacy-preserving applications, particularly in scenarios where sensitive data must be erased from graph-based systems. This paper explores the fundamental concepts, challenges, and methodologies associated with graph unlearning, including its application to domains such as social networks, financial transaction systems, and healthcare networks. By delving into various algorithms, including local and global unlearning methods, we analyze the trade-offs between accuracy, privacy, and computational efficiency. The paper further investigates the security risks associated with graph unlearning, including adversarial and inference attacks, and proposes mitigation strategies to safeguard unlearning processes. We also examine the unique challenges posed by federated learning systems, where unlearning requires coordination across decentralized clients. Finally, the paper evaluates graph unlearning techniques using performance metrics such as time complexity, accuracy, and privacy guarantees, supported by real-world examples from diverse applications. The findings emphasize the importance of developing robust, scalable, and secure unlearning mechanisms to ensure data privacy and compliance with regulations. Evaluation and metrics for Graph Unlearning will also be discussed in this paper.
A New Approach to Fermat’s Last Theorem with Several Examples

Published: September 2024

These counterexamples have shown the relationships between the power of a Pythagorean equation and Pythagorean’s triples. There are three positive integers that satisfy Fermat’s equation when the power n is equal to 2 in the case of the Pythagorean theorem and it’s applicable relationships in right triangles. On the other hand, as the power varies from positive to negative integers or any integers other than 2, such as in the case of Fermat’s last theorem, the hypotenuse z of a right triangle tends to be equal to one of the sides x or y of the triangle and the other side tends to be equal to zero. And the application of this idea describes the behavior of a mass object in motion. Since the total energy of the object is the sum of its energy in motion and its rest energy, at a particular power n, the total energy of the object tends to be equal to either the rest energy or the photon energy.

Authors: Kim Jihoon , Sung Youngje
Published: September 2024

A broadband 28 nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) power amplifier was implemented using a distributed amplification design. To develop a model library for high-frequency design, various test patterns for active and passive elements were fabricated and compared through measurements. As a result, an n-channel field-effect transistor (NFET) with a symmetrical layout was adopted as the active device, and a co-planar waveguide (CPW) structure with floating first and second metal layers at the bottom was selected as the transmission line for the passive element. These choices demonstrated superior radio frequency (RF) characteristics at high frequencies compared to other device candidates. Furthermore, to address the low breakdown voltage of CMOS, a triple-stacked FET structure was designed as the gain cell of the distributed power amplifier (DPA). The fabricated DPA showed a maximum small-signal gain of 22 dB and a minimum of 10 dB from DC to 56 GHz, with a maximum saturated Pout of 20 dBm and a minimum of 13 dBm from 1 to 39 GHz. Notably, these results were achieved on the first attempt by designing solely based on measurement data from the test patterns.
Lightweight Neural Network Optimization for Rubber Ring Defect Detection
Authors: Gao Weihan , Hu Haijun
Published: September 2024

Surface defect detection based on machine vision and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is an important and necessary process that enables rubber ring manufacturers to improve production quality and efficiency. However, such automatic detection always consumes substantial computer resources to guarantee detection accuracy. To solve this problem, in this paper, we present a CNNs optimization algorithm based on the Ghost module. First, we replace the convolutional layer with the Ghost module in CNNs so that feature maps can be generated using cheaper linear operations. Second, we use an optimization method to obtain the best replacement of the Ghost module to achieve a balance between computer resource consumption and detection accuracy. Finally, we use an image preprocessing method that includes inverting colors. We integrated this algorithm into YOLOv5, which we trained on a dataset with 122 images of rubber ring surface defects. Compared with the original network, the network size decreased by 30.5% and the computational cost decreased by 23.1% whereas average precision only decreased by 1.8%. Additionally, the network's training time decreased by 16.1% as a result of preprocessing. These results show that the proposed approach greatly helped practical rubber ring surface defect detection.
