Published: December 2023

Purpose

To evaluate the feasibility of using a deep learning (DL) model to generate fat-suppression images and detect abnormalities on knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) through the fat-suppression image-subtraction method.

Material and methods

A total of 45 knee MRI studies in patients with knee disorders and 12 knee MRI studies in healthy volunteers were enrolled. The DL model was developed using 2-dimensional convolutional neural networks for generating fat-suppression images and subtracting generated fat-suppression images without any abnormal findings from those with normal/abnormal findings and detecting/classifying abnormalities on knee MRI. The image qualities of the generated fat-suppression images and subtraction-images were assessed. The accuracy, average precision, average recall, F-measure, sensitivity, and area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUROC) of DL or each abnormality were calculated.

Results

A total of 2472 image datasets, each consisting of one slice of original T1WI, original intermediate-weighted images, generated fat-suppression (FS)-intermediate-weighted images without any abnormal findings, generated FS-intermediate-weighted images with normal/abnormal findings, and subtraction images between the generated FS-intermediate-weighted images at the same cross-section, were created. The generated fat-suppression images were of adequate image quality. Of the 2472 subtraction-images, 2203 (89.1%) were judged to be of adequate image quality. The accuracies for overall abnormalities, anterior cruciate ligament, bone marrow, cartilage, meniscus, and others were 89.5-95.1%. The average precision, average recall, and F-measure were 73.4-90.6%, 77.5-89.4%, and 78.4-89.4%, respectively. The sensitivity was 57.4-90.5%. The AUROCs were 0.910-0.979.

Conclusions

The DL model was able to generate fat-suppression images of sufficient quality to detect abnormalities on knee MRI through the fat-suppression image-subtraction method.

Published: December 2023

Dysfunctions in the lymphatic system can cause primary or secondary lymphedema, derived from chronic edema, when the lymphatic system is unable to adequately drain lymph from the tissues, resulting in swelling and pain. Through a cross-sectional experimental clinical study, we sought to evaluate the effect of the Adapted Lymphatic Protocol of Medicinal Biomagnetism on pain in the lower limbs of patients with peripheral edema of lymphatic origin. Medicinal Biomagnetism is a therapeutic system developed in 1988 by Dr. Isaac Goiz Durán that uses static magnetic fields generated by medium intensity magnets. These magnets are applied in pairs, one with a north pole, with a calming effect, and the other with a south pole, which activates areas with organic deficiencies, known as Biomagnetic Pairs. Carried out on four female participants, the study applied the protocol in three sessions, spaced weekly. The results demonstrated a reduction in the measurements of the lower limbs, relief in the intensity of pain and discomfort in the legs, although the lymphedema did not disappear completely. It was concluded that Medicinal Biomagnetism proved to be a non-invasive, accessible approach with few side effects, with the potential to alleviate pain and improve quality of life in patients with peripheral edema of lymphatic origin.

The evolution of technology in aesthetics and the concern to carry out less invasive procedures has given more and more space to procedures such as microfocused ultrasound. In this context, the main objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of microfocused ultrasound for a facelift and its durability after months of application. Materials and methods: The procedure was carried out on 5 patients (N=5) in the middle/lower third of the face, and followed up for 4 months (120 days). Digital images of each subject were taken before and after treatment with the Vectra H2 system and after 4 months of the protocol. A questionnaire was administered among the patients involved in the study about their level of satisfaction with the procedure and among dental professionals who were not involved in the study, according to the GAIS scale. Results: A facelift was observed after 4 months in 100% of the cases and increased in 60% of the patients in the study. The majority of patients rated their satisfaction with the outcome of the treatment between number 2-(Improved a lot) (40%) and number 1-(Improved a lot) (40%). Around 20% rated their satisfaction with the procedure as number 3-(Improved), while in the blinded observers’ assessment, 80% rated the result as number 2-(Improved a lot) and 20% as number 1-(Improved a lot). There were no ratings of 4-(No improvement at all) or 5-(Worsened). Conclusion: The facelift obtained through microfocused ultrasound was maintained for four months after the procedure in all patients, when compared to stage 0 (before the protocol).
Religion, as a Power Device. A Review of Smith, Haig Z.: Religion and Government in England’s Emerging Colonial Empire, 1601-1698 (2022)
Authors: Harding Noémi
Published: December 2023

What does “just” government mean in the Early Modern Era? Haig Z. Smith’s book brings new light to this interesting question. The author examines five English companies in 17th century North America and Asia. Smith’s research is confined neither to the usual economic and political issues nor the equally familiar religious and administrative matters. Instead, Smith presents the operation of the religious governments as a hybrid of all these factors. The work complements the literature of Early Modern world history and “company studies” in the field of religion and state administration.

Authors: Heram Yamila , Gago María Paula
Published: December 2023

Este artículo expone resultados parciales de una investigación más amplia sobre el proceso de producción y consumo de los programas de panel en los canales de aire de la ciudad de Buenos Aires. Se centra en un aspecto específico vinculado con el “modo” en que les jóvenes de entre 18 y 24 años residentes en el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires consumen la televisión durante la pandemia. Para ello se realizaron entrevistas semi estructuras. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que el consumo televisivo se realiza de manera paralela a la realización de otras actividades que pueden ser laborales y/o domésticas. Asimismo, se verifica un uso de la televisión como compañía. Este tipo de prácticas propicia un consumo desatento y el medio televisivo asume una función más radial.

Published: December 2023

Introdução: O diagnóstico de Paralisia Cerebral (PC), por vezes vem acompanhado de sentimentos que podem desencadear alterações na saúde mental de seus cuidadores devido as expectativas com os cuidados e demandas da criança. Contudo, a repercussão do diagnóstico de PC na família não aparenta estar associado apenas a deficiência da criança, mas também com os aspectos sociais, econômicos e pessoais. Objetivos: Avaliar a saúde mental dos cuidadores de crianças diagnosticadas com PC por meio através do questionário Self-ReportingQuestionnaire (SRQ) e as narrativas dos cuidadores sobre a relação das limitações funcionais da criança e condições biopsicossociais familiares com o sofrimento psíquico desses cuidadores. Metodologia: Estudotransversal, descritivo quantitativo realizado no CER 2. A amostra, de conveniência, composta por cuidadores de crianças com diagnóstico de PC de 2 a 10 anos, no qual da saúde mental será avaliada através do SRQ.Resultados: Participaram do seguinte estudo 15 cuidadores, mães em sua totalidade. Destas, 9 responderam 7 ou mais “sim” para os itens do SRQ, o que indica sofrimento mental, e as 6 outras participantes obtiveram uma pontuação menor do que 7. Conclusão: A saúde mental das mães de crianças com PC é complexa e composta por diversas variáveis, dificultando afirmar se estas apresentam pior saúde mental devido ao diagnóstico de seus filhos. Entretanto, é possível afirmar que a qualidade saúde de ambos se influenciam, e devido a isto, o cuidado em saúde das crianças com paralisia cerebral deve ser integral, incluindo sua família.

Çalışmada her iki cinsiyetten 1-3 aylık yaşta 8 adet Akkaraman ırkı kuzu kullanıldı. Endotokseminin oluşturulması için 10 μg/kg dozda LPS 50 ml’lik %0.9 NaCl içerinde 30 dakikada vena jugularisten intravenöz olarak uygulandı. LPS uygulamasından önce ve uygulama sonrası 2., 4., 6., 12. ve 24. saatlerde klinik muayeneleri yapılarak kan örnekleri alındı. Alınan kan örneklerinden sodyum (Na+), potasyum (K+), klor (Cl-) ve iyonize kalsiyum (Ca+2) analizleri kan gaz cihazında herhangi bir antikoagülan madde katılmaksızın kan alınır alınmaz yapıldı. LPS infüzyonu sonrası 2. saatte K seviyesinde önemli bir düşüş gözlenirken takibinde 12. saatte önemli bir artış tespit edildi. Na+ ve Cl- seviyesinde önemli herhangi bir değişim göze çarpmazken, Ca+2 seviyesi başlangıca göre tüm saatlerde azalmış ancak istatistiksel bir farklılık belirlenmemiştir. Sonuç olarak, kuzularda akut endotokseminin K+ ve Ca+2 seviyelerinde değişikliğe neden olduğu ve endotoksemik hastalarda bu elektrolitlerin izlenmesinin yararlı olabileceği değerlendirildi.
PRISÃO PREVENTIVA E SUA APLICAÇÃO
Authors: Moraes Paulo Cesar Guimaraes , Lopes Dario Amauri de Almeida
Published: December 2023

O presente artigo visa analisar sobre a prisão preventiva que é uma medida que o juiz pode usar para garantir que o processo seja seguido sem riscos e no modo mais seguro possível. Contudo, quando ele a decreta de forma ilegal, é possível solicitar o relaxamento da prisão ou um habeas corpus, para proteger o seu direito de ir e vir. A prisão preventiva é aplicada para evitar que a pessoa acusada cometa novos crimes, comprometa ou prejudique o andamento do processo (destruindo provas/evidências, fugindo ou coagindo testemunhas. Ela pode ser decretada em qualquer fase do processo. Para ser aplicada num inquérito policial, ela deve ser requerida pelo Ministério Público ou por representação de autoridade policial. Quando pedida dentro de uma ação penal criminal, pode ser requerida pelo Ministério Público. Além disso, quando a ação penal é da área privada, como em casos de crimes contra a honra (que atingem a integridade moral da pessoa), a prisão preventiva pode também ser requerida pelo querelante – que é quem prestou a queixa para ação penal, o “ofendido”.

Authors: Camacho Isabela de Moraes , Oliveira Flávia Pina Siqueira Campos de , Aragão Ivana Picone Borges de
Published: December 2023

Este artigo objetivou revisar a literatura sobre os avanços em técnicas de fixação interna para fraturas de ossos longos. A revisão incluiu estudos que investigaram o uso de placas anatômicas, pregos intramedulares e fixação biodegradável no tratamento dessas fraturas. Os resultados indicaram que as placas anatômicas proporcionam uma fixação estável e adaptável ao contorno ósseo, reduzindo complicações e melhorando os resultados funcionais. Os pregos intramedulares demonstraram ser eficazes para fraturas diafisárias, com vantagens de cirurgia menos invasiva e recuperação mais rápida. A fixação biodegradável apresentou potencial em fraturas pediátricas, permitindo uma fixação temporária que é gradualmente reabsorvida pelo organismo. A escolha adequada da técnica deve ser baseada nas características individuais do paciente e nas peculiaridades da fratura. As informações desta revisão podem auxiliar os profissionais de saúde na tomada de decisões clínicas informadas.

Authors: Moura Carlos Eduardo dos Santos , Souza Victor de , Biguelini Maria Fernanda
Published: December 2023

O Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) brasileiro, apesar dos desafios e limitações que enfrenta, é um modelo de referência de saúde pública em todo o mundo. Dentre os aspectos que têm impactado esse sistema, pode-se registrar o fato de que a população brasileira tem vivido mais, o que faz com que exista um grande contingente de idosos. Tal caráter de envelhecimento da população acarreta percalços ao SUS, como doenças degenerativas articulares e/ou quedas que demandam, por exemplo, o procedimento de artroplastia de quadril. Diante dessa realidade, este estudo teve o objetivo de descrever e analisar as internações hospitalares por artroplastia de quadril registradas no Estado do Paraná entre os anos de 2020 e 2022. As informações foram obtidas no Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do SUS, separando-se pela categoria caráter de atendimento (eletivo; de urgência ou acidentes ou lesões e envenenamentos) e por estas variáveis: (i) sexo (feminino ou masculino); (ii) faixa etária (abaixo de 60 anos; 60-79 anos ou 80 anos ou mais); e (iii) tipo de procedimento. Os resultados desta investigação revelaram que, no período estabelecido, no Estado do Paraná, as artroplastias de quadril geraram mais de sete mil internações hospitalares, com predominância do sexo feminino, faixa etária entre 60-79 anos e com prevalência de dois procedimentos: Artroplastia total primária do quadril não cimentada/híbrida e Artroplastia parcial de quadril. Esses resultados descritivos são relevantes, pois podem auxiliar os sistemas de saúde a elaborem estratégias que minimizem possíveis riscos à saúde de pacientes idosos, evitando-se procedimentos de alta complexidade.
Impact of the Aging of the Armenian Science Sector on the Number of Science and Engineering Publications
Authors: GRIGORYAN EMIL , TERZYAN HAROUTYUN
Published: December 2023

Armenia's science sector has undergone significant changes in recent years from
the perspective of demographics and productivity, which directly affected the country's
scientific potential and national innovation system. In the article, an attempt was made
to present what kind of links and interrelationships there are between older scientists
and scientific output. The share of scientific and technical workers aged 60 and over in
Armenia and the number of scientific publications presented by the National Science
Board from 1998-2021 were considered as indicators. The results of the econometric
analysis showed that the relationships between the indicators are strong and inversely
proportional. An increase in the share of older scientists leads to a decrease in the
number of scientific publications in the long run. In such a case, it becomes especially
urgent for the state to develop and implement policies in the field, on the one hand, to
create conditions for young scientists, and on the other hand, to study the productivity factors of older scientists. At the same time, the results of the paper provide a basis for
further research on age-scientific productivity links.

Authors: AVETISYAN TADEVOS , TOROSYAN ALIK , MATEVOSYAN DIANA
Published: December 2023

To comprehensively examine
the underlying factors driving external youth migration in the
Republic of Armenia, the present paper undertakes an in-depth
analysis of the intricate socio-economic and demographic
interactions. The study strategically categorizes and scrutinizes
the pivotal contributors to the phenomenon, emphasizing their
intricate interplay. By leveraging available statistical data and key
indicators, such as the Gini coefficient, poverty rates, labor market
dynamics, higher education metrics, GDP per capita, agricultural
sector productivity, and remittances from abroad, the socioeconomic and demographic aspects of youth emigration from
Armenia are systematically assessed.
This analysis also encompasses a spatial dimension, delving
into the disparities in youth migration across different territories.
Simultaneously, a comprehensive evaluation of demographic
conditions is undertaken, culminating in an aggregated
assessment that classifies regions based on their demographic
prospects. Significantly, the findings spotlight the profound
influence of regional imbalances on migration patterns, with
border proximity emerging as a compelling determinant that often
eclipses markers of income and quality of life.
Building upon these insights, the present paper proceeds to
evaluate the connection between external youth migration and
macroeconomic indicators. A rigorous analytical approach is
employed, featuring correlation matrices, regression analyses,
and model derivations to articulate the intricate relationship
between the migration phenomenon and broader macroeconomic
factors. Moreover, leveraging the ARIMA model, the investigation ventures into future projections of youth migration from Armenia.
Evidently, the model anticipates a consistent downward trajectory,
indicating a sustained decrease in the incidence of external youth
migration. In addition, the present article offers a comprehensive
exploration of the multi-faceted dynamics underpinning external
youth migration in the Republic of Armenia. Through meticulous
analysis and rigorous statistical methodologies, it sheds light on
the complex interplay between socio-economic, demographic, and
macroeconomic factors, unraveling the intricate tapestry of youth
migration while providing valuable predictive insights.

Respectful Maternity Care: A Holistic approach in Promoting Positive Birth Experience
Authors: Koteswaramma Devarakonda
Published: December 2023

In recent years, the relevance of ethical, psychological, social, and cultural elements of birthing across many groups has led to the promotion of respectful maternity care (RMC). Although the concept of respectful maternity care is to promote woman-centered care, respecting women's beliefs, autonomy, dignity, and preferences to reserve their right to have a companion during childbirth. RMC is a fundamental right of all women. Disrespect and abuse (D&A) are violations of fundamental ethical standards, human rights, and fundamental patient care duties. Intrapartum respectful maternity care can affect the mother’s experiences of childbirth. This article is aimed to determine the status of respectful maternity care and its relationship with childbirth experience among Indian women.

Authors: Gatto Maristella
Published: December 2023

As empirical approaches to the study of natural language based on digital technology, corpus linguistics and computational linguistics are two faces of the same coin, whosevalue lies in the attempt to integrate quantitative and qualitative aspects of linguistic analysis. This attempt has become all the more challenging in recent years as the language data at our disposal grows day by day. Indeed, the changing nature of language resources in the era of big data has inevitably also changed the research questions that it is possible to address (Hiltunen et al, 2017). The increase and variety of the data available has opened up new horizons, by empirically supporting research questions concerning social phenomena, or by providing new hints for tracking language change, as is the case with the novel discipline of Modern Diachronic Corpus-Assisted Language Change (Alessi & Partington, 2020). These new research areas are continually evolving and expanding also thanks to a growing number of easy-to-access resources and tools so that the fields of corpus linguistics, digital linguistics and digital humanities “overlap, intertwine and feed off each other when it comes to making use of the increasing variety of resources available for linguistic research today” (Nevalainen, Suhr and Taavitsainen, 2019, p.1).It is against this background that the present article reports on the preliminary results of a corpus-based investigation into the process that has transformed the very specific material meaning of the word “culture” into the extremely elusive, liquid concept we are familiar with today. The analysis starts from the findings of earlier investigation of the lexico-grammar profile of the world “culture” based on contemporary synchronic corpus resources and attempts further exploration of these findings on the basis of diachronic language resources, such as Google Books and the English Historical Book Collection.

In the highly competitive environment of the modern market, the apparel industry must carefully assess its operational inputs to enhance its outputs. Previous research has primarily focused on the textile industry, with limited emphasis on the ready-to-wear apparel sector. This study applies Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to evaluate the operational performance of ten Taiwanese listed companies in the textile and apparel industry from 2017 to 2021. Financial reports of these ten companies for the past five years were obtained from websites, and input variables such as operating costs, total assets, and operating expenses were selected, while output variables included operating gross profit and revenue. The study then conducted empirical analysis using the Malmquist Productivity Index to measure efficiency over multiple years. The DEAP software was utilized to generate data and weights for measuring, analyzing, and evaluating the companies’ performance, providing valuable recommendations and references for their future development. Based on the comprehensive analysis of the DEA’s CCR model and Malmquist Productivity Index, "Munsin" and "Great Giant" emerged as the two benchmark companies with the best performance.

本研究旨在探討台灣保險企業品牌形象、客戶保險素養與再購意願之間的關聯性。透過問卷調查法以收集數據，並進行了深入的分析，以瞭解這三個重要變數之間的相互作用。研究結果表明，品牌形象在客戶再購意願中發揮著正向且顯著的影響作用，這一發現強調了保險企業在品牌建立和維護方面的重要性。

此外，本研究發現客戶保險素養對品牌形象與再購意願之間存在正向顯著的調節效果。這表示客戶的保險知識、技能和經驗對於品牌形象對再購意願的影響程度具有一定程度的調節作用。具體來說，當客戶的保險素養較高時，品牌形象對再購意願的正向影響更為顯著，而當客戶的保險素養較低時，品牌形象的影響相對較弱。

這項研究的發現對於台灣保險業具有重要的實務意義。首先，保險企業應該重視並積極管理自身的品牌形象，以提高客戶的再購意願。此外，保險企業應該意識到客戶的保險素養水平，並針對不同素養水準的客戶擬定相應的行銷策略。例如，對於保險素養較高的客戶，可以提供更專業和進階的服務，以加強他們對品牌的忠誠度。

本研究揭示了台灣保險企業品牌形象、客戶保險素養和再購意願之間的關聯性，並為保險業者提供了有價值的參考，以改進其市場策略和品牌管理實踐，提高保險業的競爭力，並滿足客戶不斷變化的需求。

Authors: Subramanian Suneetha M , Nishi Maiko
Published: December 2023

The recent Values Assessment conducted by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) highlights the impact of different worldviews on people's relationship with nature. This paper summarizes the findings from a literature review that examined nature-culture interconnections and how they play out in outcomes related to conservation and human well-being. It seeks to highlight the various ways in which Nature as Culture is conceptualized and further, generalized. It also aims to identify a short set of promising indicators that could be used for scenario modelling for nature futures work and identify potential areas of research to explore further in this field to ensure that the concept is more robustly embedded in plans to operationalize policy goals on sustainability, including biodiversity conservation. The paper emphasizes the need for further research in this area, calling for methods that incorporate a diverse range of resources across ecosystems, species types and national borders. It highlights ground-truthing and primary data collection as essential components in understanding intrinsic, instrumental and relational values for fostering sustainable practices.

Published: December 2023

Objetivo: analisar, a partir da literatura publicada, os sistemas adesivos universais, conceituando sobre seu desempenho nos diferentes substratos, assim como potenciais estudos executados com eles após 10 anos no Brasil. Materiais e métodos: para esta revisão narrativa, foram pesquisados artigos na língua inglesa nas bases de dados eletrônicas PubMed/Medline, SciELO e Scopus, publicados de 2012 a 2022, período considerado por ser a última década, além dos 10 anos da chegada do sistema adesivo universal ao Brasil. Utilizaram-se os seguintes descritores: universal adhesives (adesivos universais) OR universal adhesive system (sistemas adesivos universais). Realizou-se a inclusão de estudos laboratoriais (in vitro), ensaios clínicos, revisões de literatura e sistemáticas com meta-análise. Resultados: após análise meticulosa, foram selecionados 56 estudos. Os adesivos universais são considerados mais “amigáveis” ao usuário, pois permitem ao clínico a utilização no modo condicione e lave e autocondicionante, principalmente devido à inclusão do monômero MDP ou de monômeros similares. No esmalte, o condicionamento ácido seletivo antes da aplicação do adesivo é recomendado. Permite ser utilizado com uma diversidade de substratos, a aplicação de forma ativa do adesivo melhora a resistência de união. Conclusão: os sistemas adesivos universais foram lançados para tornar os procedimentos de adesão mais simples. Entretanto, mais ensaios clínicos com maiores tempos de acompanhamento são necessários, para avaliar adequadamente a efetividade desse material. Palavras-chave: adesivos dentinários; esmalte dental; dentina.
