Published: August 2024

Introduction. The article provides an analysis of the problematic issues that medical organizations and pharmacies face when using drugs manufactured according to extemporaneous prescriptions in clinical practice in psychiatric medical organizations. Objective. The purpose of this study is to analyze the experience of using extemporaneous formulations in psychiatric practice in order to determine the frequency of its prescription in the treatment of mental disorders. Material and methods. The study used: content analysis, observation method, documentary, systemic, statistical and other methods for studying drug prescriptions for psychiatric patients. The basis of the research was the specialized departments and hospitals of the Sverdlovsk Regional Psychiatric Hospital, namely, prescription sheets and requirements-invoices for medications prepared according to extemporaneous prescriptions for adult patients from 18 to 60 years old with a psychiatric history Results and discussion. During the study, a decrease in interest in extemporaneously manufactured dosage forms included in the pharmaceutical manual in the section for psychiatrists was noted. 11 prescriptions with analgesic and sedative effects were selected from the Pallas's cat. A study of the frequency of prescription of individually prepared dosage forms showed that the prescription of the studied prescriptions to patients is uneven. More often, extemporaneously manufactured drugs are prescribed in hospitals, with priority given to infusions of sedative preparations, Pavlov’s mixture, sodium bromide powder with valerian root powder and Dobronravy drops are less commonly prescribed. In the narcological department, painkillers are more often prescribed: painkiller lotion and chloroform oil. In the women's outpatient department No.43 and the men's outpatient department No.44, extemporaneous medications are prescribed extremely rarely and mainly valerian-based drugs. Rarely in doctors' prescriptions were drugs with outdated formulations observed, such as Bekhterev's mixture, suppositories with chloral hydrate, and Professor Sirotin's pills. The decrease in interest in extemporaneously manufactured drugs can be explained by the lack of necessary substances in pharmacies; in addition, clinical recommendations contain only registered drugs; the prescription of extemporaneous dosage forms requires consideration by a medical commission, which complicates the work of doctors. Conclusion. Drugs of extemporaneous manufacture can be used more widely as an addition to the main therapy in the prevention and treatment of psychiatric nosologies, subject to the adoption of regulatory documents and introduction into circulation as part of clinical recommendations, as well as updating the manual formulation.

Published: August 2024

Soil plays an important role and serves as the foundation of life for all living things. Determining soil type is very important in fields such as agriculture, land management, and environmental studies. Various methods, including soil content, or color classification methods, as well as conducting laboratory tests, can be used to identify soil types. However, these often require the involvement of experts and are time-consuming and expensive. To overcome these challenges, machine learning models with computer vision techniques can be used through mobile-based applications.
This research aims to link a machine learning model, to automatically classify soils into four types: alluvial, red, black, and clay soils with a mobile app called Terralysis through the RESTful API. Utilizing the advanced capabilities of mobile device cameras, users can take pictures of the land, upload them to the app, and receive the results. 
Integration with RESTful APIs facilitates seamless communication between mobile applications and machine learning models running on servers. RESTful APIs enable efficient and easy-to-use communications, ensuring easy updates and improved performance without overwhelming the mobile application. This approach improves application responsiveness, while powerful servers perform heavy processing tasks. Terralysis provides an efficient, fast, and accessible way for users without access to a laboratory or soil specialist to classify soil types, significantly reducing time and costs accurately.

TRIBUTAÇÃO DE TRANSAÇÕES EM GAMES ON-LINE: necessidade de soluções legislativas para novas realidades tecnológicas
Authors:   , Chalhoub Joseph Murta
Published: August 2024

Nos últimos anos, os jogos de computador se popularizaram e, com o avanço da tecnologia e a expansão da internet, a indústria de entretenimento passou a oferecer games on-line, eliminando a necessidade de mídias físicas. Contudo, a tributação desses jogos tem sido uma questão debatida na jurisprudência nacional, especialmente a diferenciação entre software de prateleira e sob encomenda. Em 2021, o Supremo Tribunal Federal considerou os softwares como serviços para fins de tributação. No entanto, surgiram novas dúvidas sobre as transações in game, que podem envolver aquisição de bens, direitos ou operações financeiras. Este trabalho busca entender se essas transações se enquadram como serviço ou bens para efeitos de tributação, considerando as mudanças tecnológicas que afetaram a natureza das transações. Foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa de natureza pura, explicativa quanto aos fins, com abordagem qualitativa do problema e método de abordagem dedutivo, com procedimento bibliográfico e documental, de forma que, através do estudo composto da doutrina existente sobre o tema, da legislação e jurisprudência, fosse possível concluir acerca de como as transações in game devem ser classificadas quanto sua natureza de serviço, bem ou direito, para sua correta tributação. Dessa maneira, se verificou que a correta tributação das transações in games on-line se apresenta como questão de grande insegurança jurídica atualmente, em decorrência, especialmente, de dois elementos: a problemática quanto ao amoldamento de todos os tipos destas transações como tendo a mesma natureza obrigacional que aquela da aquisição do próprio jogo de computador, em consonância com a decisão proferida pelo STF na ADI 5659, que imporia a tributação por uma ficção jurídica não somente contrária à realidade, e decorrente exclusivamente de interpretação jurisprudencial e não de qualquer previsão normativa expressa; e o fato de ser questionável a incidência generalizada de todos os demais tributos, que não o ISS, sobre serviços em relação às transações que efetivamente tenham a mesma natureza da aquisição do próprio software/game decorrente de interpretação extensiva e não de previsão expressa na legislação tributária.

So this investigation was aimed to estimate concentrations of Leptin, adiponectin and some parameters in women with polycystic ovaries syndrome. From June to the end of February 2024, this investigation was carried out in the Teaching Azadi Hospital's laboratories. Eighty married women between the ages of 18-30 year provided blood serum samples for the study. Two groups were established from these samples, which are as follows: Control group: During the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, thirty blood samples from healthy women were taken. Patient group: During the follicular phase, 50 PCOS women had their blood samples taken. The results showed that LH concentration in serum of PCOS patients (8.74± 0.62) demonstrated significant (P <0.05) increase compared with healthy women (6.14± 0.37). The concentration of FSH demonstrated significant (P <0.05) reduced in PCOS patients (3.64 ± 1.08) compared with healthy women (8.29 ± 0.41). testosterone concentration in serum of PCOS patients (0.78± 0.39) demonstrated significant (P <0.05) increase compared with healthy women (0.36± 0.11). The concentration of IGF-1R demonstrated significant (P <0.05) elevated in PCOS patients (29.02 ± 5.67) compared with healthy women (17.42 ± 2.85). Adiponectin concentration in serum of PCOS patients (2.26± 0.19) demonstrated significant (P <0.05) reduced compared with healthy women (5.18 ± 0.24). the concentration of Leptin demonstrated significant (P <0.05) increase in PCOS patients (29.15 ± 3.47) compared with healthy women (8.27 ± 0.81). Significantly lower levels of adiponectin and higher levels of leptin and IGF-1R are linked to PCOS. These results call for additional research on the roles played by leptin, IGF-1R, and adiponectin in the pathophysiology of PCOS.

Faunus ater is a gastropod mollusk, crucial to tropical East Asian ecosystems, especially in the Philippines. This study investigates its potential as a bioindicator by analyzing chemical accumulation, population, and morphology within Barangay Odiongan and Barangay Anakan in Gingoog City during wet season. The analysis revealed significant findings in chemical accumulation, population, and morphology. The total population of F. ater in Barangay Odiongan was 226, while Barangay Anakan had 316. Morphological characteristics of F. ater were larger in Anakan, with mean values (length: 78.79 mm, width: 15.18 mm, wet weight: 9.68 g) compared to Odiongan (length: 56.20 mm, width: 11.79 mm, wet weight: 8.01 g). Both barangays showed no detectable cadmium (Cd), but lead (Pb) levels varied, with Odiongan at 0.28 µg/g and Anakan at 0.27 µg/g, indicating higher levels in Odiongan. In the comparison of chemical accumulation and population of F. ater, data showed that despite Odiongan's lower population, it had higher Pb levels than Anakan. For the comparison of chemical accumulation and morphology of F. ater, Anakan, with no Cd detected, displayed larger morphology than Odiongan, which also showed no Cd but had smaller morphology. In comparing population and morphology of F. ater, both population and morphology in Anakan showed higher mean values than Odiongan. Adhering to Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) standards, Cd and Pb concentrations in both barangays are below tolerance limits, ensuring safety for F. ater and its habitat. The study suggests analyzing morphology and population using SPSS. Future research should include coliform analysis or occur during the dry season.

Published: August 2024

This study investigated the existing levels of social presence, collaboration, academic performance, and student and faculty satisfactions and their relationships in the online distance learning (ODL) environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Three hundred ninety-seven (397) students (male, n = 134; female, n = 263) and 253 faculty (male, n = 112; female, n = 141) from eight higher education institutions in Dumaguete City, Philippines, participated in the study. Data from the respondents were collected through online questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive and correlational statistics. The results revealed that the students gathered high levels of social presence (wx = 3.57, SD = 0.61), collaboration (wx = 3.97, SD = 0.55), and student satisfaction (wx = 3.56; SD = 0.67) in ODL. Consequently, moderate levels of academic performance (wx = 3.26, SD = 0.53) and faculty satisfaction (wx = 3.10, SD = 0.39) were perceived by the students and faculty, respectively. Furthermore, Spearman’s rho correlation found that there were statistically significant relationships between social presence and collaboration (r = 0.56, p = <0.000001), collaboration and student satisfaction (r = 0.57, p = <0.000001), and social presence and student satisfaction (r = 0.70, p = 0.0000005). Moreover, student satisfaction and academic performance had a strong positive correlation (r = 0.80, p = <0.000001). Lastly, through the Mann-Whitney U test, faculty satisfaction did not have any significant relationship with student satisfaction (z = 9.23, p = <0.0001) and academic performance (z = 4.81, p = <0.0001).

Published: August 2024

The study of children’s drawings has long been an interesting filed in linguistic research. Children’s drawings are an indication of their developmental progress, it is a gateway that offers a window into the children’s internal thinking and attitude. The present study focuses on unveiling the relationship of the images and themes found in the children’s drawings of the Marawi Siege, a war that occurred between the government forces and terrorists in the Southern Philippines in 2017. This study includes 40 drawings of the child-respondents who are residing in the temporary shelters  in Boganga and Rorogagus, Lanao del Sur. The interconnection was based on two perspectives, namely: realistic and artistic. In realistic perspective, the drawings were analyzed based on realistic representations of the children of the visual images, in which themes were embedded. In artistic perspective, the attention shifted away from what the children were drawing to the creation process of the visual images and themes. Thus, this study propounds that the children's psychological process played a significant role in how they drew the scenarios in order to gain an understanding of the reality.

CHARACTERIZING PHILIPPINE ENGLISH PHONOLOGY IN READ AND SPONTANEOUS SPEECH STYLES
Authors: Berowa Annie Mae
Published: August 2024

This paper aims to describe the phonological features of Philippine English (PE) in different speech styles. As argued, English has multiplicity of norms depending on the context of use, and that the occurrence of different speech forms in a variety of speech styles is a sociolinguistic reality. Thus, this study is an attempt to illustrate the segmental (vowels and consonants) and suprasegmental features (stress and intonation) of PE in read and spontaneous situations to offer a better understanding on the plurilithic, as opposed to monolithic, characteristic of the English language. To illustrate the reading style of the participants, they were tasked to read aloud word and sentence lists as well as passage Wolf. For the spontaneous discourse, speakers performed a monologue and provided answers to a speaking task which “similarly opened with the same questions” (Deterding et al., 2008, p. 4). It was found that, generally, the vowel features of PE are similar in different speech styles although /i/ and /u/ are excluded in the spontaneous speech. Likewise, the consonants in various speaking styles are almost the same, however, the voiceless fricative /Ɵ/ is a feature in the read speech but it is inconsistently realized as dental stop /t/ in spontaneous speaking situations. Moreover, PE is characterized by penultimate stress and rising intonation for all types of questions in both read and spontaneous speech styles. Based on the results, it appears that there are particular forms that are more convenient for speakers to use in a certain speech style. As English is homogenously used for communication, it has different forms depending on the context of use.

Vocabulary learning strategies vary across context and cultural background. This paper examines and explores the  structure of vocabulary learning strategies of senior high school students in the Philippine where English is considered as a second language. A total of 341 senior high school (SHS) learners from twenty-five different institutions in the northeastern part of Luzon, Philippines participated in the online survey. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) using Maximum Likelihood and Promax techniques and reliability analysis using Cronbach Alpha were conducted to ensure its validity and internal consistency. From 15, the questionnaire was trimmed to seven vocabulary learning strategies namely: Cognitive Strategies, Word Listing, Word Encoding, Note-taking, Self-Initiation, Visual-Spatial Thinking and Selective Attention. This can explain 49 percent of total variance with acceptable level of reliability. The result of this study can be a baseline reference for policymakers on instituting policy changes in language education and a useful reference for future research on Filipino senior high school students’ vocabulary learning strategies especially in the context of new normal.
