Authors: Agusti Alisson Luiz
Published: November 2023

A liderança é uma atividade da vida moderna. Não há como negar o papel do líder na tomada rápida de decisões, coordenação de equipes e atividades e resolução de problemas. O setor de manutenção demanda decisões rápidas e concisas e, eventualmente, emergenciais. Isso posto, pergunta-se qual seria o perfil básico para o líder do setor de manutenção, tendo em vista os aspectos da manutenção e liderança. O propósito foi estudar a bibliografia e corroborar com a experiência prática de modo a propor um modelo de perfil básico geral. Para isso, o presente artigo passa por uma pesquisa bibliográfica que busca levantar as características do departamento de manutenção, os requisitos para que uma pessoa possa exercer com propriedade algum cargo de liderança e as peculiaridades da liderança na manutenção, além de se valer da experiência prática do autor. As principais caracte-rísticas propostas para o perfil do líder da manutenção e que devem ser inerentes ou desenvolvidas por este líder são: (1) competência técnica; (2) competência administrativa, e; (3) experiência. A maneira como esse líder deve lidar com as pressões exercidas pela administração e pela produção da empresa em seu setor, as dificuldades no gerenciamento de recursos e as habilidades necessárias para tal gerenciamento estão contidas no perfil sugerido.Palavras-chave: Competência. Líder. Manutenção. Gestão.
Arranjos produtivos locais e cadeias agro-alimentares: revisão conceitual
Authors: Vial Luis Antonio Machado , Sette Tania cristina Campanhol , Batisti Vanessa de Souza , Sellitto Miguel Afonso
Published: November 2023

Arranjos produtivos locais (APLs) e cadeias agro-alimentares são abordagens de análise de alguns tipos de arranjos interorganizacionais e têm se mostrado úteis como alternativas de estudo e de proposição de políticas, para o fortalecimento e sustentabilidade de empreendimentos. Apesar da relevância das atividades produtivas, os conceitos ainda parecem carecer de uma definição mais clara, tornando possível a adequada identificação dos casos empíricos. O objetivo deste artigo é revisar conceitualmente as duas abordagens, concentrando conceitos em um documento para servir de base a futuras pesquisas, já em andamento. Quanto ao APL, foram revisadas duas abordagens, uma baseada na Economia Industrial e outra na Economia Neo-Schumpeteriana. Quanto às cadeias agro-alimentares, foram revisados os conceitos de agronegócio, da escola americana de pensamento, o conceito de fileira, da escola francesa, e introduzido o conceito de fileira curta, mais observado em aplicações realizadas na Itália. Palavras-chave: Arranjos produtivos locais. Cadeias agro-alimentares. Cooperação.

O Centro Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento de Instrumentação Agropecuária e a Gestão de Tecnologia: uma análise baseada no mapeamento de tecnologia
Authors: Franco Renato Ribeiro
Published: November 2023

O reconhecimento da crescente importância do desenvolvimento de tecnologia como fonte de competitividade para empresas, regiões e mesmo países, está na origem da ampliação dos recursos dedicados a esse fim, por instituições públicas e privadas. Tanto pelo crescimento do montante de recursos envolvidos quanto pela fundamental importância estratégica da atividade, a gestão da função tecnológica vem ganhando atenção cada vez maior. Nesse contexto, a eficiência do núcleo de P&D, no desenvolvimento de suas atividades, é crítica para o êxito de seus esforços e de toda a organização. Um conjunto de técnicas e métodos associados ao Technology Roadmapping – ou mapeamento tecnológico, segundo a tradução que tem se difundido em português – tem justamente procurado responder a essas demandas. O presente artigo busca comparar o Technology Roadmapping (TRM) com o modelo de gestão prospecção de tecnologias do CNPDIA. Partindo de uma revisão da literatura pertinente, este estudo pretende alcançar o propósito acima indicado por meio do estudo de um caso específico, qual seja o das atividades de prospecção atualmente realizadas por uma importante instituição de pesquisa brasileira: o CNPDIA (Centro Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento de Instrumentação Agropecuária), que é uma unidade subordinada à Embrapa (Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária).

Uso de modelos e protótipos para auxílio na análise da sustentabilidade no Design de Produtos
Authors: Ferroli Paulo Cesar Machado , Librelotto Lisiane Ilha
Published: November 2023

O conceito moderno de sustentabilidade reescreve de modo geral o conceito de design. A evolução nas abordagens dos programas de qualidade e produtividade fez com que o conceito de melhoria contínua tomasse um novo aspecto. O respeito à natureza, considerado como diferencial no final do século passado, adquire um caráter distinto: agora é obrigatório. Contudo, no cerne da atividade de design, está a constante inovação, a satisfação dos desejos dos clientes e a oferta contínua de novos produtos, objetivando a conquista do público-alvo. Aliar essa necessidade com a questão ambiental é muito complexo, pois em primeiro momento o eco-design prioriza a redução, o aumento do ciclo de vida dos produtos, o reaproveitamento e a reciclagem, por exemplo. Ou seja, parecem conceitos opostos. Na busca por tentar conseguir um equilíbrio entre os conceitos, surge a sustentabilidade, mais ampla do que somente o eco-design, pois engloba as questões econômicas, sociais e ambientais em um mesmo patamar de importância. O trabalho atual pretende contribuir nessa discussão mostrando a aplicação dos conceitos da sustentabilidade aplicados em projeto, mediante a experimentação em modelos e protótipos.

Authors: Larouci Barkahoum , Benmoussa Amar , Belasri Ahmed
Published: November 2023

In this work, we studied the gas temperature due to joule heating effect in N2/O2 dielectrics barriers discharge
(DBD). The numerical investigation is carried using a one-dimensional fluid model, in which the
continuity equations of electron and ion and Poisson's equation are considered. The study of gas heating
development in nitrogen-oxygen plasma discharge was performed by using heating transport equation.
The systems of equations were solved along the gap distance of the DBD with the aim to determine the gas
temperature profiles. The obtained results show that gas heating becomes important in the cases when the
secondary electron emission coefficient takes large values, and with high values of nitrogen in the mixture.
PERCOLATION CHARACTERISTICS OF POWER-LAW FLUID IN THE FRACTAL TREE-LIKE BIFURCATION NETWORKS WITH ROUGH SURFACES
Authors: Yang Shanshan , Sheng Qiong , Liang Mingchao , Zou Mingqing
Published: November 2023

In order to study the seepage characteristics of power-law fluids in the fractal tree-like bifurcation networks with
rough surfaces based on fractal theory, the shape factor of rough surfaces is treated as the randomly distributed cones.
According to the generalized Darcy's law and the constitutive equation of power-law fluids, the fully-developed laminar and incompressible flow of power-law fluids in rough pipelines is explored, and the velocity graduation and flow rate expressions of fluids in rough pipelines are obtained. Then, the fractal model for the permeability of power-law fluid in the tree-like bifurcation network with rough surfaces is proposed, and the total flow rate, total pressure drop, and permeability of power-law fluid in the tree bifurcation network with rough surfaces are derived. The relative increase in pressure and the relative decrease in permeability are also obtained. Finally, the analytical expression for the permeability of power-law fluids is analyzed. It can be seen that the permeability of a rough tree-like bifurcation network is inversely proportional to relative roughness, length ratio, bifurcation angle, etc., and directly proportional to the power-law index and diameter ratio. At the same time, the predicted values of the model are compared with existing models, proving the correctness and rationality of the model.
Developing an Optimization Model for Minimizing Solid Waste Collection Costs
Authors: CENGİZ Semih , ŞEN Mehmet , ÖZCAN Muciz
Published: November 2023

With the increase in population in cities, the number of solid waste to be collected has also increased. Because the garbage collection route must be traveled repeatedly, even minor improvements in these routes can result in a significant increase in fuel usage. Shortening the journey would provide a significant contribution to lowering fuel expenses in all towns, especially given the rising cost of fossil fuels. Furthermore, lowering fuel usage is critical for Turkey to meet its national objectives under the Paris Agreement. The Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm, one of the heuristic optimization techniques used to identify the best solutions to complicated problems, is employed to solve the routing problem of solid waste collection vehicles in this study. This method, which was inspired by the metal annealing process, stands out for its ability to avoid regional minima while looking for the optimal solution. The applicant region was selected as the Kosova Neighborhood of Konya's Selçuklu District. The container distances needed for the method to execute were acquired by extracting the coordinates of the containers. Kosova Neighborhood was separated into 7 distinct regions due to the restricted capacity of rubbish collection vans. All regions were analyzed independently, and the best feasible routes were estimated using the SA algorithm approach, and the results were compared to the greedy algorithm findings. The SA algorithm outperformed the greedy algorithm by 26.49%.
The relationship between the coarticulatory source and effect in sound change: evidence from Italo-Romance metaphony in the Lausberg area.
Authors: Greca Pia , Gubian Michele , Harrington Jonathan
Published: November 2023

In ongoing sound changes, a coarticulatory effect is often enhanced as the coarticulatory source that gives rise to it wanes. But quite how phonologisation and these reciprocal coarticulatory changes are connected is still poorly understood. The present study addresses this issue through an acoustic analysis of metaphony, which like umlaut has its phonetic origins in VCV coarticulation, and which was analysed in three geographically proximal varieties spoken in the so-called Lausberg area in Southern Italy. The corpus was of 35 speakers producing mostly disyllabic words with phonetically mid stem vowels and suffix vowels that varied in phonetic height. The results of functional principal components analysis applied to the stem vowels’ first two formant frequencies showed a progressively greater enhancement to the vowel stem across the three regions that was characterised by raising, diphthongisation, and then further raising and monophthongisation. Suffix erosion was quantified by counting deletions and the degree of vowel centralisation. The analysis showed a reciprocal relationship between stem enhancement and suffix erosion across, but not within, the three dialects. Overall, the results suggest that a trade-off of cues between suffix and stem vowel has progressed to different degrees between the three varieties.
Las emociones y la dación de sentido en los objetos de uso
Authors: Ruales Tobón Camilo Fernando
Published: November 2023

Al analizar los objetos de uso cotidiano se entiende la manera como emerge el sentido emocional que los seres humanos le atribuyen a éstos. Por ello, es preciso establecer un modelo de análisis para observarlos y detallarlos en su totalidad. Una de las maneras de hacerlo es a partir de las herramientas que brinda la fenomenología, especialmente desde la propuesta de Maxine Sheets-Johnstone, la cual tiene una rigurosidad metodológica de análisis, que posibilita entender cómo los seres humanos interactúan con objetos de uso. El modelo que se describe aquí, nace a partir de los postulados de Edmund Husserl, quien se pregunta cómo el ser humano piensa en movimiento, describiendo esta situación a partir de los procesos de interacción que se presentan el un fluir afectivo-kinestésico. La idea de este trabajo no es solamente ver cómo el modelo propuesto puede ser utilizado, sino además dotar de herramientas al diseño industrial en la creación de objetos.ResumenWhen analyzing objects of daily use, the way the emotional sense that humans attribute to them emerges. It is for this reason, that it is essential to establish a model of analysis to observe and elaborate them in their entirety. One way to do this is to start from the tools provided by phenomenology, especially from Maxine Sheets-Johnstone’s proposal, which has a methodological rigor of analysis th at allows understanding how human beings interact with objects of daily use. The model described here comes from from Edmund Husserl´s postulates that question how human beings think about movement, describing this situation form the interaction processes present in the affectice-kinesthetic flow. The idea of this work is not only to see how the proposed model can be used, but also to provide industrial design with tools for the creation of objects.

Agent-based models have gained traction in exploring the intricate processes governing the spread of infectious diseases, particularly due to their proficiency in capturing nonlinear interaction dynamics. The fidelity of agent-based models in replicating real-world epidemic scenarios hinges on the accurate portrayal of both population-wide and individual-level interactions. In situations where comprehensive population data are lacking, synthetic populations serve as a vital input to agent-based models, approximating real-world demographic structures. While some current population synthesizers consider the structural relationships among agents from the same household, there remains room for refinement in this domain, which could potentially introduce biases in subsequent disease transmission simulations. In response, this study unveils a novel methodology for generating synthetic populations tailored for infectious disease transmission simulations. By integrating insights from microsample-derived household structures, we employ a heuristic combinatorial optimizer to recalibrate these structures, subsequently yielding synthetic populations that faithfully represent agent structural relationships. Implementing this technique, we successfully generated a spatially-explicit synthetic population encompassing over 17 million agents for Shenzhen, China. The findings affirm the method's efficacy in delineating the inherent statistical structural relationship patterns, aligning well with demographic benchmarks at both city and subzone tiers. Moreover, when assessed against a stochastic agent-based Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered model, our results pinpointed that variations in population synthesizers can notably alter epidemic projections, influencing both the peak incidence rate and its onset.

Objetivo: Describir las interacciones de algunos estudiantes de dos programas de Medicina en Colombia relacionadas con el currículo oculto.
Metodología: Estudio hermenéutico, que utilizó la etnografía y la teoría fundamentada, mediante la aplicación de observación participante en cinco escenarios de práctica y once entrevistas en profundidad. El análisis de los datos se hizo con codificación abierta, axial y selectiva, propias de la teoría fundamentada, lo que generó una matriz del paradigma.
Resultados: Estudiar Medicina implica hacer parte de una jerarquía desde inspiradora hasta excesiva. La exigencia de la educación médica por formar un médico incansable e intachable, la competencia para ser admitido a cada rango y el miedo a equivocarse exacerban el funcionamiento negativo de la jerarquía médica. Esta jerarquía se basa en el poder del conocimiento que permite el maltrato. Lo anterior desencadena agotamiento, frustración, desinterés y afecta la ética profesional, aspectos que estropean al médico en formación.
Conclusión: El currículo oculto determina la formación del médico más que el currículo formal. Reconocer y reflexionar sobre el currículo oculto desde la comunidad académica permite visibilizar, en futuras reformas curriculares, el papel que este desempeña.
Workplace health promotion programs among health workers: a systematic literature review
Authors: Carrillo González Andrés , Cantor Cutiva Lady Catherine
Published: November 2023

Objective: To identify the effect of workplace health promotion activities (WHPA) on the health status of health personnel.
Methodology: A systematic literature review was performed. Six computerized databases were used to search for studies on the effect of at least one health promotion activity on the health status of health personnel. Studies were included if they were published in peer-reviewed and indexed journals and were written either in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. Information such as study population, sample size, type of study, outcome, and health promotion activities performed were extracted from each publication. All the included articles were measured in terms of their methodological quality, including the risk of bias.
Results: Lower scores on perceived stress, emotional exhaustion, and mood symptoms were reported. An improvement in sleep hours and quality and a reduction in dietary sodium intake were informed. Improvements in participants’ dietary habits, weight loss, and body fat percentage, along with increased physical activity and a reduction in pain levels were reported. A reduction in the prevalence of cigarette smoking was found.
Conclusions: WHPAs can enhance physical and mental health, and overall well-being, and encouraging healthier behaviors among health personnel. Most of the studies targeting mental health focused their efforts primarily on reducing healthcare workers’ perceived stress. WHPAs that addressed both diet and physical activity behaviors were more effective at improving weight outcomes than those that used only one approximation. Overall, this study offers valuable information on the impact of worksite-based health promotion interventions, including the effect of different strategies applied

Recently, there is an increasing need to create energy-efficient power supplies for wearable devices. In recent studies, we found that carbon nanotubes doped with nitrogen, which exhibit anomalous piezoelectric properties, can be used as the basis for such devices. This paper presents the results of studying the effect of the activation time of catalytic centers during the growth of carbon nanotubes on the value of their piezoelectric strain coefficient and the value of the generated current. It was found that with an increase in the activation time of the catalytic centers from 1 to 90 min, the value of the piezoelectric strain coefficient decreased from 19.78pm/V to 4.49pm/V, which is associated with a change in the geometric dimensions of the catalytic centers and, consequently, the N-CNT and structures of the N-CNTs. Also, the data obtained are confirmed by the measured value of the current generated by N-CNTs during deformation. Its value decreased from 15 to 2 nA in proportion to the decrease in the piezoelectric strain coefficient. The results obtained can be used to create energy-efficient piezoelectric nanogenerators
FORMATION OF THE INVESTMENT POTENTIAL OF UKRAINIAN AGRICULTURAL SECTOR ENTERPRISES UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF MARITAL STATE (EXAMPLE OF THE KERNEL COMPANY)
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Martyniuk Liudmila , Kinakh Anhelina ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: November 2023

The essence of the concept of "investment potential", its role and significance in the process of mobilizing internal and external resources for the successful functioning and development of the enterprise is determined. The key factors influencing the formation of the investment potential of enterprises in the agricultural sector of Ukraine in the conditions of martial law are revealed. Conducting activities in the conditions of war caused a decrease in capital investments by agricultural enterprises by 27% compared to 2021. Agricultural business suffered almost the largest losses among all sectors of the economy, which undoubtedly affected the ability to accumulate resources for investment activities. The peculiarities of the formation of investment potential are analyzed using the example of the Kernel company, which is the leading producer and largest exporter of sunflower oil in Ukraine. Based on the analysis of financial statements, it was established that in the 2022 fiscal year, the company suffered significant losses due to the inability to export products via usual logistics routes. It is noted that when forming investment potential, the company uses both internal resources (retained earnings) and external resources (loans and resources of external investors). In order to evaluate the investment potential of the company, the method of calculating the integral indicator was used and its comparison with the reference value was carried out. The calculation method is based on the application of various groups of financial condition assessment indicators. The obtained value of the calculated indicator for 2022 is significantly worse than the reference value (for 2021). The main reasons for this are significant risks and problems that prevent the normal functioning of the company, namely: logistical problems, loss of critical infrastructure, production stocks, deterioration of their quality parameters, credit risks and counterparty risks. Based on the application scoring analysis identified the main areas of risk minimization.

Authors: Mohammad Mahmoud Abolfotoh  , Hemmat Ali Khloussy  , Hebatullah Mustafa  , Mohammad Ali Eshra
Published: November 2023

Insulin resistance (IR) is considered one of the most serious chronic conditions. Although IR usually starts silently (euglycemic state), it can seriously lead to impaired glucose tolerance and the development of diabetes mellitus (DM) with other debilitating complications. The current study was conducted for four months to test the application of healthy dietary modification and/or regular programmed exercise on 120 Egyptian male subjects with high blood glucose levels, high insulin levels, and high homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). They were assigned into 4 groups. The first group received no intervention (control). The second group received healthy dietary intervention. The third group received regular exercise program. The fourth group received both healthy dietary intervention and regular exercise program. Along with blood glucose and insulin levels; weight and triglycerides (TG) levels were also assessed. Compared to the control group, the results showed significant reduction (p˂0.05) in both fasting and postprandial blood glucose and insulin levels as represented by HOMA-IR along with significant reduction (p˂0.05) in the other metabolic parameters assessed during the study in both dietary intervention alone and exercise intervention alone groups. The reduction was more significant (p˂0.05) in the group that received both healthy dietary and regular exercise intervention. In conclusion; IR could be avoided if either healthy dietary modification and/or regular programmed exercise are adopted.
Do Poço à Fortuna

Helena Silveira (1911-1984), escritora, jornalista e cronista, escreveu em 1949, o drama intitulado No fundo do poço, encenado em março de 1950, no Teatro Cultura Artística de São Paulo e publicado pela Martins Fontes no mesmo mês. Antes da encenação, muitos escritores – com quem Helena Silveira havia compartilhado os seus originais – redigiram para os jornais textos de apreciação do drama. Oswald de Andrade, Lygia Fagundes Telles, Menotti Del Picchia foram apenas alguns dos nomes que disseram ser a peça de Helena Silveira um dos mais importantes títulos da dramaturgia nacional à época. Contudo, apesar da força do texto e da montagem feita pelo Teatro Popular de Arte, com cenografia de Sandro Polloni, a peça simplesmente não figura nos livros de história da dramaturgia brasileira. Este artigo busca, assim, recuperar a recepção crítica da peça e pontuar a importância de pesquisas acerca de autoria de mulheres no teatro.

Authors: Nur Rochimah Tri Hastuti , Rasyid Erwin , Mohd Sofian Muhammad Raqib
Published: November 2023

This study aims to analyze how Indonesia’s national online media covers the issue of climate change. Media coverage of climate change is a fairly important issue in Indonesia to analyze how the media makes the issue of climate change a media agenda and, at the same time, monitor how the government’s commitment to the issue of climate change both in terms of policy, prevention, and handling. The method used is a descriptive quantitative content analysis method using a sentiment analysis approach. This study analyzed 3608 titles of news articles published in five Indonesian national online media, namely Antaranews, Detik.com, and Republika.co, Tempo.co, and Tribunnews.com during the five years 2019-2023. The study results show that the frequency of the coverage of climate change issues is most widely reported by Antaranews at 51% and is dominated by positive sentiments as a media company owned by the Indonesian government. In contrast to non-government-owned media, namely Detik.com, Republika, Tempo.co, and Tribunnews.com, the issue of climate change is also on the media agenda, although more than Antara news. This media agenda setting is close to the media framing of climate change issue policies, not merely the amount of coverage but climate change is highlighted on the focus of how weak the handling of the impacts of climate change is.

Indonesia is located in a disaster-prone region that can result in human casualties, property losses, environmental damage, and even impacts on the tourism sector. The provinces of Yogyakarta and Bali are vulnerable areas with tourist attractions (TAIs). Disaster communication becomes a crucial aspect that must be addressed to reduce disaster risks and their impacts. This research aims to analyze the role of stakeholders in implementing disaster communication at TAIs to achieve sustainable tourism. The results of this research indicate that three categories of stakeholders play crucial roles in disaster communication at TAIs. Primary stakeholders include local communities, local governments, and BPBD. Secondary stakeholders include the Ministry of Tourism, Non-Governmental Organizations, BASARNAS, TNI, and POLRI. Moreover, a key stakeholder identified in this study is the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI), which plays a significant role as a direct communicator responsible for managing and assisting tourists during disasters in ODTW areas.

Published: November 2023

To determine whether the antenatal assessment of CSA of umbilical cord variables is different in PIH compared with healthy pregnant women by using ultrasonography and to assess its relationship with gestational age.

This study was conducted in the Department of Radio-diagnosis, Sri Siddhartha Medical College, among 600 (300 normal &300 PIH) pregnant women who underwent a routine prenatal gestational sonogram ranging from 28 to 39 weeks of age.

There was a significant difference observed between two groups in all umbilical cord variables except umbilical artery area. Mean ± S.D of the CSA of the umbilical cord variables for each gestational age were studied in normal and PIH women.

We found that the mean value of UCA and WJA was increased till 36 weeks then it decline sharply in the normal group whereas in PIH group, the mean value of UCA increases till 36 weeks then it attain plateau and the mean value of WJA increases even after 36 weeks.

Our study was first of its kind to document the CSA of UC variables and their growth pattern according to gestation age, which can be used as an informational basis for both normal and PIH pregnant women.

Published: November 2023

Cervical laceration (CL) after vaginal delivery is one of the uncommon side effects with significant morbidity if undetected and unattended to promptly. This is however one of the common causes for postpartum haemorrhage. There are several documented risk factors for CL such as previous interventions on the cervix, induction of labour, use of Prostaglandins for induction, precipitate labour, operative vaginal deliveries and birth weight of more than 3500gm.

In this article we have described a series of eleven women who were detected to have CL following vaginal delivery. One of whom had delivery of the baby through a bucket handle cervical tear with a non-dilated cervical os. Almost all of them needed multiple blood and product transfusions in view of postpartum haemorrhage with one of them developing acute kidney injury subsequently.

This necessitates the need for prompt identification of CL and its needed intervention.
Significance of red cell alloantibodies other than anti-D during pregnancy and their effect on the newborn: A case series
Authors: Nayak Sweta
Published: November 2023

Contrary to well-established guidelines in developed countries, awareness regarding red cell alloantibodies in antenatal period are lacking in India. Investigating for indirect antiglobulin test (IAT) is mostly limited to the Rh D negative antenatal cases. This case series revisits this vital aspect of maternal and fetal safety. Instances of alloantibody other than anti-D are reported.

Study was done in Transfusion Medicine department of a tertiary care hospital in North India during 2019-2020. IAT was performed not during the 1st or 2nd trimesters of pregnancy but as a routine compatibility test during delivery. Patients with positive IAT were further evaluated for the detection of alloantibody by using identification panel red cells. Result: Eight antenatal cases with irregular antibodies other than anti-D during 2019-2020 are described. Antibodies detected per patient were single (three cases of anti-E, one of anti-Fya, one of anti-M) or multiple (two cases of anti-E plus anti-c, one of anti-E plus anti-K). Direct antiglobulin test of four babies born to these mothers was found to be positive, one of whom was still born and rest recovered with medical management. Two other babies had DAT negative and two mothers presented late after still birth. Alloantibody titer indicated in patient with anti-E during mid-pregnancy had titer was undetectable by standard tube technique.

Non anti-D alloantibodies can potentially affect fetus, asserting equal attention as anti-D. IAT should not be missed in pregnancy as it is common to investigations for compatibility as well as for fetal wellbeing assessment.

Published: November 2023

El sector musical ha sufrido una gran transformación debido a los avances tecnológicos y los cambios sociales y culturales sucedidos durante el siglo XXI. Esta nueva configuración ha implicado la aparición de nuevas o renovadas profesiones o funciones que van más allá de las tradicionales ocupaciones del sector (la interpretación, la docencia, la composición o la dirección). Esta investigación, de carácter empírico, tiene como finalidad principal analizar las condiciones y las perspectivas laborales del alumnado de estudios superiores de música, aspecto este poco tratado en estudios académicos a nivel español. La radiografía resultante muestra unas condiciones laborales caracterizadas por la multiactividad (pluri y poliactividad), intermitencia y precariedad y una tendencia por las salidas profesionales tradicionales: la docencia y la interpretación.

A metaforizációs folyamatok szerepe az el- igekötős igék jelentésének létrehozásában
Authors: Szili Katalin
Published: November 2023

A dolgozat az el- igekötős igék teljes állományára támaszkodva vizsgálja a metaforizáció szerepét a jelentésalkotásban kognitív keretben, a forráshely – ösvény – célhely (source path goal) sémát középpontba állítva. Alapkoncepciója értelmében a konkrét irányváltoztatást kifejező funkciók különféle képi sémák hordozói, a metaforikus jelentéscsoportok pedig a képi sémákat forrástartományként kiaknázó fogalmi metaforák nyelvi reprezentációi. Ez a megközelítés egyfelől megvilágította a konkrét és absztrakt jelentések szerves kapcsolatát, másfelől egyértelműsítette, hogy az el- igekötős igék a rossz fogalmához rendelhető eseményszerűségek, állapotok széles körének megjelenítői. Így: a megszűnés, fizikai megsemmisülés távolodás; az izolált állapot távolodás; a félelem, a félelem keletkezése távolodás; az öntudatlanság távolodás; a hiba/ a rossz az egyenes iránytól való távolodás; a rossz, a hiányos állapot elérése távolodás stb.
Identification of druggable hub genes and key pathways associated with cervical cancer by protein-protein interaction analysis: An in silico study
Authors: Asadzadeh Azizeh , Ghorbani Nafiseh , Dastan Katayoun
Published: November 2023

Background: The uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the cervix leads to cervical cancer (CC), the fourth most common gynecologic cancer. So far, many studies have been conducted on CC; however, it is still necessary to discover the hub gene, key pathways, and the exact underlying mechanisms involved in developing this disease.
Objective: This study aims to use gene expression patterns and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis to identify key pathways and druggable hub genes in CC.
Materials and Methods: In this in silico analysis, 2 microarray gene expression datasets; GSE63514 (104 cancer and 24 normal samples), and GSE9750 (42 cancer and 24 normal samples) were extracted from gene expression omnibus to identify common differentially expressed genes between them. Gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway analysis were performed via the Enrichr database. STRING 12.0 database and CytoHubba plugin in Cytoscape 3.9.1 software were implemented to create and analyze the PPI network. Finally, druggable hub genes were screened.
Results: Based on the degree method, 10 key genes were known as the hub genes after the screening of PPI networks by the CytoHubba plugin. NCAPG, KIF11, TTK, PBK, MELK, ASPM, TPX2, BUB1, TOP2A, and KIF2C are the key genes, of which 5 genes (KIF11, TTK, PBK, MELK, and TOP2A) were druggable.
Conclusion: This research provides a novel vision for designing therapeutic targets in patients with CC. However, these findings should be verified through additional experiments.

Exploring the Experience of Uundergraduate Students from Nursing Grand Round: A Conventional Content Analysis
Authors: M Javadinejad , F Bahramnezhad
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Nursing grand rounds are one of the potential factors for providing up-to-date evidence to nurses and nursing students and their use at the patient's bedside. Identifying the visible and hidden angles of this experience can help to improve this approach.  Based on this, this study was exploring the experience of undergraduate nursing students from Grand Round.
Methods: This study is part of a qualitative study with an exploratory sequential interventional combined approach that was conducted with the help of conventional content analysis. For this purpose, 25 undergraduate nursing students of the 7th semester, who had internship experience in intensive care units in the Grand Round method, were purposefully included in the study. Then, with the help of semi-structured, in-depth, and face-to-face interviews with an average of 40 to 60 minutes, the experiences of these participants were extracted and after recording and implementation, they were analyzed with the help of Granheim and Lundman's approach.
Results: The mean± SD age of these students was 21.3 ± 10.8 years. From a total of 25 interviews conducted with the participants, 423 primary codes were extracted. After merging the codes that had similar content and meaning, three main categories of internship purposefulness, withdrawal from island education and perceived challenges appeared with 9 subcategories.
Conclusion: Since the participants in the study claimed that with the help of this approach, education at the bedside is targeted and in fact, they are faced with a new approach in education, it is necessary to take steps to identify this approach and try to solve the challenge of this approach.

Introduction: Educational institutions as implementers of the educational system must react to the changes in their surrounding environment to be able to interact with the environment; and provide quality education based on the needs of society. This study was conducted to compare the undergraduate nursing program in Iran and the nursing school of the University of Maryland, USA.
Methods: The present study is a descriptive-comparative study that was conducted in the 2023 year by searching the Persian and English keywords: Curriculum, Nursing, Nursing Education, and Educational Plan in databases. We used curriculums which were downloaded from the website of the Iranian Ministry of Health, Treatment, and Medical Education and the website of the University of Maryland, USA. To compare the approach of George F. Brady was carried out in four stages: Description, Interpretation, Juxtaposition, and Comparison.
Results: The bachelor of nursing program in Iran and the university of Maryland in the United States deferred in the way of admission to the field, perspective, research-based approach, and variety of values. Also, they were similar in terms of the lack of specialized interview in entering the field, early presence in the clinical environment, diversity in teaching strategies, and the use of various basic science courses.
Conclusion: this comparison is an opportunity to identify and eliminate the weakness of Iran's nursing curriculum and empowerment of its strengths. It is a necessit to pay more attention to research activities in the undergraduate nursing curriculum in Iran.
