Mudança no perfil epidemiológico do câncer de orofaringe e suas novas perspectivas: Uma revisão narrativa da literatura
Authors: Lima Stephanye Sophya de Souza , Vasconcelos Mariana de Lyra , Andrade Taysnara Ismaeley de
Published: September 2023

Esta revisão narrativa da literatura objetiva apresentar as mudanças no perfil epidemiológico do câncer de orofaringe, com o intuito de compreender as suas atuais perspectivas, com destaque para a associação com a infecção pelo HPV e para a atuação do cirurgião-dentista nessa condição, através das medidas atualmente disponíveis. Para isso foi realizada uma integração entre livros de referência, informações de órgãos competentes e uma busca de estudos dos últimos cinco anos nas bases de dados: PUBMED, SciELO e LILACS, embora apenas a base PUBMED tenha fornecido estudos para o modelo de pesquisa empregado. Dos 107 estudos identificados, 22 foram incluídos no trabalho para a discussão e, apesar da heterogeneidade de informações, houve a concordância no fato da crescente e atual associação entre HPV e o câncer orofaríngeo. Contudo, ainda existem muitas lacunas a serem preenchidas, principalmente a respeito de métodos de rastreamento, acompanhamento dos casos de alto risco, detecção e diagnóstico precoces. Nesse sentido, a conscientização, educação em saúde para profissionais e pacientes e vacinação contra o HPV, são as medidas atualmente discutidas como potencialmente eficazes.

Published: September 2023

Objetivo: Revisar a literatura sobre os desafios que serão encontrados para a reabilitação oral dos pacientes submetidos a tratamento oncológico de cabeça e pescoço. Materiais e Métodos: Foi realizado uma revisão integrativa nas bases de dados SciELO, PubMed, BVS e livros, utilizando artigos dos últimos 10 anos com critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Resultados: O câncer de cabeça e pescoço é representado em 3% a 5% das neoplasias malignas. O tratamento poderá ocorrer com ressecção cirúrgica, quimioterapia, radioterapia, hormonioterapia ou a combinação de mais de uma forma de tratamento. Podendo haver efeitos colaterais nessas. A reabilitação oral nos pacientes submetidos a tratamentos quimioterápico e radioterápico é diferente; na quimioterapia tem severas repercussões relacionadas a nível sistêmico e oral, pois o tempo de resposta dos tecidos é relacionado com mecanismos de renovação celular e na radioterapia a colocação de implantes tem se mostrado uma alternativa viável analisando os fatores de riscos. A literatura tem citado casos bem sucedidos na colocação de implantes em pacientes oncológicos com boas taxas de sucesso com implantes endo ósseo e próteses sobre implantes, mostrando eficácia positiva na osseointegração. Conclusão: A reabilitação oral para pacientes em tratamento de câncer de cabeça e pescoço ainda é um desafio para os cirurgiões dentistas, uma vez que este tipo de câncer, assim como o seu tratamento, apresenta características distintas para cada paciente. Torna-se imprescindível que o cirurgião dentista reabilite os pacientes oncológicos para devolver a eles saúde, estética e autoestima.

Published: September 2023

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo investigar a relevância da arquitetura para o level design em jogos virtuais, tomando como objeto de estudo o jogo The Witcher III: Wild Hunt (2015). Para a construção de um edifício é preciso realizar o levantamento de necessidades, planejamento e organização de recursos a fim de atender as expectativas dos usuários. No desenvolvimento de cenários de videogames, é imperioso replicar tais esforços adaptando-os ao mundo virtual para facilitar a conexão do jogador para com o jogo. Para analisar como essas técnicas são aplicadas no ambiente virtual e os seus resultados, utilizou-se o método de pesquisa bibliográfica embasado em autores de ambas as áreas, arquitetura e game design. O estudo se desenvolveu através da explanação de ideias de um ramo e encontro da mesma à pensamento similar noutra área. Por meio deste exame, conclui-se que a adoção de tais ideias em The Witcher III: Wild Hunt (2015) simplifica o processo de compreensão de objetivos, locomoção e imersão do usuário.

Objetivou-se investigar e analisar o preconceito de médicos(as), enfermeiros(as), técnicos(as) de enfermagem e agentes comunitários de saúde que atuam em Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) contra usuárias lésbicas. Para tanto, foi elaborado um estudo exploratório e descritivo, de caráter transversal, com design qualitativo e amostragem não probabilística, realizado em diferentes Unidades Básicas de Saúde distribuídas entre os cinco distritos sanitários da cidade de João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brasil. Participaram do estudo 31 profissionais de saúde que, no momento da coleta, estavam trabalhando em uma das UBS visitadas. Para coleta dos dados foram utilizados um questionário sociodemográfico e a técnica do Priming, com questões posteriores ao estímulo. Como resultados, verificou-se que a desconsideração, por parte dos profissionais de saúde, da existência de situações de discriminação nos serviços de saúde, indicou a possibilidade de ocorrência de reforço na identidade social positiva do grupo. Já que ao negar a ocorrência da discriminação nos serviços em que atuam, os participantes demonstraram uma possível transformação na qualidade dos atendimentos, evitando possíveis julgamentos sociais. Percebeu-se também indicativos de preconceito sutil por parte dos participantes, já que, ao tentarem justificar a negação do direito ao atendimento em saúde às usuárias lésbicas, poderiam estar, na verdade, tentando suprimir seus próprios preconceitos em relação às usuárias. Por fim, concluiu-se que os dados obtidos podem servir de indicadores para gestores acerca da forma como profissionais de saúde concebem a saúde sexual de mulheres lésbicas, servindo de norteador para o surgimento de alternativas que favoreçam reflexões e transformações nas condutas dos profissionais.

Published: September 2023

Peacekeeping has been used as a significant tool for the past six decades in solving crises that are dangerous to peace and security at the international level. Over the years the missions regarding peacekeeping have not only grown in size but have also seen an increase in complexity. A lot of personnel including police, military, civilians, and others deployed in United Nations peacekeeping operations around the world have reached unprecedented levels since the commencement of the latest millennium. When the peacekeeping missions began, they were largely governed by the body of principles that was unwritten and were more affected by the events people went through while working for decades rather than any specific statute. The conservation of global safety and tranquillity was the main objective behind the formation of the United Nations. The main tool to achieve this objective is the process of peacekeeping

GEOMATICS ALLIED WITH BUILDINGS
Authors:   Acharya’s NRV School of Architecture, Abhilasha ar
Published: September 2023

We are all aware of the various Building Life Cycle stages. Before one can even start talking about the sustainability or smartness of a building, we should understand the different stages of a building, which are as follows: 1. Raw material extraction 2. Manufacturing 3. Construction 4. In use - Operation and Maintenance 5. Demolition 6. Disposal, Re-use, Recycle Each of the mentioned stages is intricately linked to the use of natural resources for energy consumption, forming the foundation for examining sustainable buildings. This paper will mainly focus briefly on how a 'GIS' can be linked to all or most of these steps. The scope of GIS is expanding every day and will also have a significant impact on architecture. When we think of "Smart Cities" or "Smart Buildings", the first thing that comes to mind is Automation or the Internet of Things, which is an integral part of the fourth phase i.e., Operation/In use. However, the reality is that a Smart Building is developed early in its Life Cycle of a Building. This paper will help people understand and grasp "how modern technologies (GIS and remote sensing) can be useful in the raw material extraction process" and "how GIS can be integrated into the process of Production, Construction, Operation and Maintenance". The study also aims to investigate the domain of demolition and the subsequent processes of disposal, reuse, and recycling, utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS). If you find this topic intriguing and captivating, I encourage you to continue reading. I genuinely hope that this paper proves to be both informative and engaging for you.

PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION IS APPLIED PHILOSOPHY; DYNAMIC PROCESS; AGAINST IDEOLOGICAL INDOCTRINATION; CONCERNS PEDAGOGICAL OBJECTIVES: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors:   Mother Theresa Institute of Engineering and Technology, Chandra  Reddy Dr. P R
Published: September 2023

It is strongly considered that the philosophy of education is a potential branch of practical philosophy in pedagogy. It investigates the nature of education as well as its objectives and obstacles. It also includes the examination of educational theories, the presuppositions present in them, and the arguments for and against them. Education can, generally, be defined as a taxonomical process through which a student or an adult gains cognition, experience, skill and reliable attitude. It makes an individual, knowledgeable, civilized, refined, cultured, accommodative, wise and enlightened. In order to have a civilized and socialized society, education is the only reliable means across the world. A country’s core values of culture are considered by what is taught in its educational institutions. Some of the values are: individualism, cleanliness, languages, achievements, work, morality, concern for others, value of time, equality, social liberty etc. In addition to it, ideological indoctrination plays a vital role in imparting dogmatism or blind faith and so it should be eliminated from teaching. By and large, the goal of education is to make an individual consummate personally, morally and socially. According to Benjamin Bloom, education is categorized into cognitive domain, psychomotor domain and affective domain.

Published: September 2023

Research on stock market forecasting has always been important to the financial sector. Shares price forecasting plays a significant role in raising investors' interest in an organization, which has a beneficial effect on the growth of shareholders in its stock. A substantial reward might have been available if the stock price had been correctly predicted. Due to advancements in science, technology, and the market economy, more elements today affect a company's price trend compared to the past. The traditional analytical technique cannot explain the fluctuations in stock price caused by important information hidden from view. Predicting these stock markets using confidential information can be achieved by several deep-learning time series models based on RNN and its derivatives, such as LSTM and GRU. However, their performance still needs to be improved. The use of optimization techniques like GWO, has improved the accuracy of these models, and to increase the reliability of the prediction, news sentiment has been used. The study comprised three phases. In the first phase, this study proposed a Tanh Grey Wolf Optimizer algorithm to increase the efficiency & accuracy of the model. Tanh is used to reduce the infinite search space to -1 and 1. Sigmoid and tanh are similar functions, but tanh has a more extensive range and is more symmetrical around the origin, resulting in results that are not biased. This property allows the potential for Tanh to have a superior gradient, which leads to more accuracy compared to the present basic GWO and binary GWO, which use sigmoid. In the second phase, News sentiment analysis used word embeddings to increase the predictions' reliability. In the last phase, these predictions are ensemble with news sentiment scores and classify the score into five classes, i.e., Strong Sell, Sell, Hold, Strong Buy, and Buy.

Kötülüğün Kaynağı ve Tarihin Anlamı: Nikolay Aleksandroviç Berdyaev
Authors: MÜMİNOĞLU Kasım
Published: September 2023

Varoluşsal bir problem olarak kötülük problemi felsefe tarihi boyunca çeşitli minvallerde tartışılagelmiştir. Antikçağdan günümüze kadar bu konuda birçok filozof problemi insanın doğası ve ilahi kudretle ilişkilendirmek suretiyle ortaya koymuşlardır. Kötülük olgusu, insanın ontolojik kaygılarının bir belirtisi ve yansıması olduğu kadar insan yaşamını kuşatan olayların anlam-landırılması çabasını da içeren metafiziksel bir sorundur. Berdyaev’e göre tarih ve anlam sorunu da bu problemin merkezinde ele alınmış ve alınmaya devam etmektedir. O, 18. yy. ile birlikte Diderot, d’Holbach gibi Aydınlan-ma düşünürlerinin saldırıları ve özellikle Voltaire ve Hume’un şüpheci tutumları karşısında sarsılmış olan Hıristiyanlığın temellerini tekrar güçlü bir felsefi esaslarla özellikle kötülük ve tarihin anlamı sorunsalı çerçevesinde anlamlandırma çabası içerisine girilmiş olduğunu düşünmektedir. Berdyaev’e göre bu konuda dinden beslenmeyen soyut felsefe dünya tarihine anlam veremediği gibi kötülüğe de ışık tutamamıştır. Bu çalışmada Rus din felsefecilerinden biri olan N. A. Berdyaev’in kötülüğün kaynağı ve tarihin anlamı konusundaki görüşlerini ve birçok filozofa yönelik eleştirilerinin temellerini incelemeyi hedeflemekteyiz.
In Pursuit Of Transcendence In Cınema: The Cinema Of Eternal Now
Authors: ÇELİK Kemal
Published: September 2023

The issue of time, which is one of the central themes of all arts, has quickly become the focus of cinema as well. Cinema shapes and reflects time in different ways. This leads to debates about slow and commercial cinema. Slow cinema is stagnant, slow, and uses long shots. Commercial cinema is fast, smooth, and uses close-ups.

This study aims to reveal that this type of cinema tries to relate its central scenes to transcendence. This kind of search for transcendence is called eternal now or everlasting present in traditional thought. Therefore, this study generally seeks the equivalent of eternal now as a search for transcendence in cinema.. The moments in these scenes break away from all contexts, including the plot of the film, and directly contact the transcendent. This study proposes to conceptualize this search for transcendence, which is found in different films by different directors and genres, as the cinema of eternal now. The cinema of eternal now brings the audience into contact with the infinity within the moment and takes them to the intersection point of the mortal and the immortal, thus elevating them to the level of the transcendent and giving them a metaphysical experience.
Ulysses' Gaze: In Pursuit Of The Eternal Now Amidst The Ruins Of The Balkans
Authors: ÇELİK Kemal
Published: September 2023

From the inception of cinema, the concept of time has been one of the most important issues in filmmaking. Unlike other art forms, cinema has the unique ability to manipulate time, allowing for techniques such as flashbacks and flashforwards. Many filmmakers have utilized these techniques in their works. However, some directors have approached the notion of time in a different way, capturing time as a transcendental instrument in their films. This understanding, referred to as the cinema of eternal now, is a product of filmmakers' endeavor to touch upon the eternal within the realm of the mortal. In this study, the manifestations of this endeavor are examined through the film "Ulysses' Gaze." The film, which explores the century-long history of the Balkans through the lens of the Manakis Brothers' early films, seeks to depict a non-linear quest for the eternal now. Angelopoulos, the director, rejects the chronological narrative of time and compresses it, aiming to reach a sort of atomic present. This can be seen as both the director's personal longing, pain, and sorrow in his own history, as well as his effort to resist the destruction and misery in the history of the Balkans.

Published: September 2023

Türkiye’nin tarihsel olarak hafızası, din ve değer yapıları itibariyle de ortak mirası paylaştığı bir coğrafya olarak Balkanlar oldukça önemlidir. Son yüzyılın hemen her evresinde bir sorun veya sancılı bir dönüşüm süreciyle anılan Balkanlara yönelik Türkiye’nin ilgisi hemen hemen hiç bitmemiştir. Bu ilginin sosyolojik boyutunda ise Müslüman nüfusu ile bölge ülkelerinin yaşadığı sorunlara yönelik demokratik kültürün işlerlik kazanması yatmaktadır. Bölge nüfusunun etnik ve dinsel çeşitliliği ile nasıl bir siyasal anlayış altında buluşacağı görünenin aksine henüz çözülmüş gibi durmamaktadır. Yazının organizasyonunda öncelikle bölge üzerine geliştirilen bir teorik çerçeve ve demokrasi kültürü üzerine genel literatür düzeyinde yer verilen tartışmanın devamında veriler ile somut analizler yapılmıştır. Böylece bölge için demokrasinin önemi ve konumu üzerine kültürel bir okuma yapma ve analiz imkânı sunan Dünya Değerler Araştırmasının Arnavutluk ve Bosna Hersek özelindeki verileri Türkiye ile karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmiş ve analiz edilmiştir. Bu amaçla öncelikle değer yapıları üzerine genel bir çerçeve çizilmesi, ardından bir sosyal sermaye kaynağı olarak sosyal güven olgusunun boyutlandırılması son olarak da siyasal yönetim ve demokratik kültür çerçevesinde bir inceleme yapılması amaçlanmıştır.

Göç, toplumların sosyal, dinsel, ekonomik ve kültürel yapılarında köklü değişiklere sebep olabilen geniş çaplı bir sosyal hareketlilik sürecidir. Göç hareketlerini önemli kılan unsur göçlerin küresel coğrafyalar arasında büyük insan hareketlerini tetikleyebilmesidir. Bireyler çeşitli sebeplerle göç edebilmekte olup; insan hakları ihlalleri, savaş, terör olayları, ekonomik durumlar gibi bazı sebeplerle başka ülkelere sığınabilmektedirler. Çalışmanın konusu Ukraynalı sığınmacı ve mülteci haberlerinin Türk medyasındaki temsiliyle ilgilidir. Bu çalışmada amaç, son dönemlerde başta Avrupa olmak üzere tüm dünyayı sosyal, siyasi, ekonomik ve kültürel yönden etkileyen Ukrayna-Rusya Savaşı sebebiyle vatanlarını terk ederek çevre ve komşu ülkelere sığınmak zorunda kalan Ukraynalı mülteci ve sığınmacı bireylerin Türk gazetelerinde nasıl temsil edildiğini, hangi temalar ekseninde gündeme geldiğini analiz edebilmektir. Çalışmada Van Dijk’in eleştirel söylem çözümlemesinden hareketle Türk gazetelerinde Ukraynalı mülteci ve sığınmacı bireylere yönelik nasıl bir söylem geliştirildiğinin bu söylemin gerisindeki kültürel ve ideolojik pratiklerin neler olduğu incelenecektir. Çalışmada Cumhuriyet, Haber Türk, Hürriyet, Milliyet, Sabah, Sözcü, Takvim, Yeni Akit, Yeni Şafak gazetelerinde Ukraynalı sığınmacı ve mülteci haberlerinin içerik ve anlamlarına göre tematik olarak sınıflandırılması ve çözümlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Published: September 2023

Inclusive education has shown an increasing interest in teaching students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through playgrounds. This approach not only fosters the development of social skills but also enhances cognitive and emotional growth in learners. Although the playground's impact on the skills of ASD students has been acknowledged, some criticism stems from the lack of a precise conceptualisation. Recent studies have highlighted the significance of teaching through playgrounds in improving problem-solving abilities. While there is a growing body of research on hands-on learning through playgrounds, a challenge remains in tailoring the learning experience to accommodate individual differences among ASD learners. Detailed discussions on supporting personalised learning experiences and cognitive enhancement in the playground setting are lacking. This paper is a literature review and qualitative investigation to address these gaps. The main contributions are twofold: first, it offers a review of how the physical space of the playground design impacts the development of children with ASD, and second, it suggests several implications for future research based on extensive literature review and qualitative study.

This pilot trial aimed to determine the feasibility of teacher training for the programme's delivery. Furthermore, the secondary aim was to evaluate the acceptability of the programme's implementation by stakeholders. Methods: The 6-week one-arm pilot trial took place in Sarawak, Malaysia (October to November 2021). It included preschool visits, parent briefings, teacher training, and music lesson delivery. The participants included teachers (n = 4), preschoolers (n = 11), parents (n = 11), and the principal (n = 1) in a preschool that practiced inclusion. A non-probability-purposive sampling recruitment strategy was employed amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The study used a case study mixed methods approach to collect data through reports, observations, group discussions, feedback, questionnaires, and documentation. Results: There was a high rate of participant retention (100%) and completion of data collection tasks (91–100%). Additionally, there was a favourable shift (7–27%) in three teachers' self-efficacy ratings before and after the teacher training and a reasonably high implementation fidelity (87%). There were no adverse events related to the study participants. Conclusion: The study demonstrated promising results across multiple participant levels, as it was perceived to be feasible, acceptable, and appropriate by teachers, preschoolers, the principal, and parents. The findings provided direct implications for the progression of the pilot trial to the full-scale main study.

Published: September 2023

This study examines the effect of career growth dimensions (career goal progress, professional ability development, promotion speed, and remuneration growth) on turnover intention in the Sarawak construction industry. Using a quantitative method and cross-sectional design, data was collected through an online survey questionnaire and analysed using multiple regression analysis. Results indicate that career goal progress and professional ability development have a significant effect on turnover intention, while promotion speed and remuneration growth do not have any significant effect on turnover intention. These findings emphasise the importance of career growth opportunities and professional development strategies to enhance employee satisfaction and reduce turnover. Organisations should reassess retention strategies and consider other factors influencing turnover intention to improve employee retention efforts.

This study aimed to understand the prevailing cultural beliefs concerning mental health literacy and help-seeking behaviours among young adults within the indigenous community of Sarawak. Six participants from various indigenous communities from Sarawak, ranging from 18 to 35-year-olds, were interviewed in the qualitative study. Four main themes with fourteen (14) sub-themes were found in the interview data using thematic analysis. These comprised belief systems on mental health, mental health literacy, help-seeking behaviour, and barriers to help-seeking. The study was done among selected young adults in the Indigenous Community in Sarawak. The predominant finding of this study was the inclination of most participants to seek religious support when confronted with mental health challenges. To advance the investigation, future research should explore similar themes across different age groups and expand participant diversity, encompassing a range of socio-economic backgrounds, to provide a refined understanding of these dynamics on mental health among youths.
Estimation of Intelligence Quotient in Healthy Individuals using Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Systematic Review

Published: September 2023

The intelligence quotient (IQ) is typically used to reflect human intelligence. Conventional IQ tests are commonly used to assess an individual’s level of intelligence. However, the reliability of these conventional methods remains controversial as they are vulnerable to bias and often yield inconsistent results. Interestingly, emerging evidence suggested that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be an alternative method to estimate a person’s level of intelligence, as IQ is closely linked with the brain's structure. In this article, we systematically reviewed published studies on the estimation of IQ in healthy individuals using MRI. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a comprehensive search was performed in the PubMed database. The literature search focused on studies reporting on brain structures associated with IQ in healthy individuals and the effects of brain structural changes on IQ. 22 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in this review. Key brain regions associated with IQ are grey matter (GM), white matter (WM), caudate nucleus, left hemisphere, limbic system, frontoparietal (FP) cortices, and default-mode network (DMN). The critical effect of ageing on brain changes and its impact on IQ were also discussed. Overall, the findings suggested that brain structures play a significant role in IQ levels in healthy individuals. This systematic review highlights the potential use of MRI in estimating IQ by examining brain structures. Nonetheless, available MRI studies were limited by methodological issues. Future MRI investigations should include well-characterized groups of females and matched male healthy individuals while considering confounding factors such as types of IQ tests.

This report describes and develops different methods for converting 3D time series data to surface representations. The considered methods contain public domain mesh generation software, as well as linear regression models and surface representations using signed distance functions. We provide a simple code base for the latter two methods such that they can be used for further research in a simple manner. We apply and test the algorithms on a point cloud for a foot model. All methods yield good representations of the underlying foot geometry. Such algorithms can therefore have a big impact on handling foot problems.

Boiler merupakan suatu alat untuk menghasilkan uap (steam). Steam (uap) pada Boiler dihasilkan dengan cara memanaskan air dalam wadah dengan bantuan panas dari bahan bakar. Boiler yang digunakan dalam proses produksi PT Petrocentral merupakan jenis Boiler fire tube. Boiler  dengan  efisiensi  rendah dapat menyebabkan pemborosan konsumsi energi dan bahan bakar. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui nilai efisiensi yang dihasilkan dari Boiler di PT Petrocentral dan mengetahui faktor faktor yang mempengaruhi selisih dari kedua metode perhitungan efisiensi Boiler pada PT Petrocentral. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan analisis efisiensi Boiler berbahan bakar natural gas yang terdapat di PT Petrocentral Gresik dengan metode langsung dan metode tidak langsung. Berdasarkan perhitungan efisiensi pada Boiler yang ada pada PT Petrocental, didapati pada metode langsung (Direct Method) diperoleh efisiensi sebesar 86% dan perhitungan efisiensi pada metode tidak langsung (Indirect Method) diperoleh efisiensi sebesar 80,79%. Faktor penyebab adanya selisih dari kedua metode ini adalah pada metode langsung tidak menghitung panas yang dapat terbuang seperti kehilangan panas yang diakibatkan oleh gas buang kering, penguapan air sebab adanya H2, kehilangan panas oleh kadar air dalam udara, kehilangan panas karena radiasi, dan kehilangan lain yang tidak terhitung. Sedangkan pada metode tidak langsung hanya menghitung kemungkinan panas yang dapat terbuang (heat losses).
