Preferred Features of Urban Parks and Forests
Authors: Schroeder Herbert
Published: August 2022

To make the most efficient use of scarce recreation resources, urban forest managers need to know what features of recreation sites are the most important for creating high-quality recreation environments. In this study, observers viewed photographs of urban forest sites in the Chicago area and described the features of the sites that they liked and disliked. Natural features such as trees, grass, and water were most frequently mentioned as features they liked and manmade objects, problems with vegetation, and poor maintenance were most frequently mentioned as features they disliked. Observers who had lived in urban areas for most of their lives preferred more developed recreation areas and more often viewed urban forests as sites for particular recreation activities than those who lived in suburban or rural areas most of their lives.

Published: August 2022

Objective: A case report of a young patient with primary amenorrhea who was diagnosed with agenesis of the uterus and was genetically confirmed for complete androgen insensitivity syndrome with already developed malignancy of dysgenetic gonads. Case report: The 17-year-old patient visited a gynecological clinic for primary amenorrhea. Both ultrasound and vaginal examination revealed suspicion of uterine agenesis, which was subsequently verified during diagnostic laparoscopy. Genetic testing showed karyotype 46,XY, and a rare diagnosis – complete androgen insensitivity syndrome. A secondary finding from a left gonadal biopsy was a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor. The patient underwent bilateral gonadectomy and was given estrogen replacement therapy. She is now regularly examined by a pediatric oncologist. Conclusion: Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome is a rare genetic disease characterized by varying degrees of feminization in individuals with a male karyotype. It should not be neglected, especially in the differential diagnostic work-up of primary amenorrhea. Genetic testing of the karyotype should be performed whenever uterine agenesis is suspected. Key words: androgen insensitivity syndrome – testicular feminization syndrome – androgen receptor – primary amenorrhea – Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor

Objective: To summarize the current knowledge on pregnancy in a cesarean scar. Methodology: A literature review on the topic using the PubMed database. Results: Gravidity in a cesarean scar is a relatively new type of ectopic pregnancy that will be an increasingly common problem in an era of increasing cesarean section rates. It is still a relatively rare event, occurring in about 6% of the population. Diagnosis is based primarily on ultrasound examination and is essential early on in pregnancy. The pathogenesis of the disease is due to a disorder of the basal layer of the endometrium and can lead to conditions that we refer to as placenta accreta spectrum. The management is completely individualized and depends on hCG values, ultrasound findings, fetal viability, the wishes of the pregnant woman and the experience of the gynecologist concerned. Conclusion: This is still a rare occurrence of ectopic pregnancy but with increasing potential. The solution is completely individualized based on a precise and early ultrasound diagnosis. Key words: cesarean scar pregnancy – ultrasound diagnosis – placenta accreta spectrum – vacumaspiration – methotrexate – uterine scar resuture

Published: August 2022

Introduction

Only a few studies report the impact of different clinical conditions of preterm infants on parental stress.

Material and methods

Ninety parents of middle to late preterm infants filled out the parent distress subscale of the Parenting Stress Index-short form when their children were 1 month old. The scores were compared based on five clinical conditions of preterm infants: Condition 1: infants whose disease occurred before or during delivery; Condition 2: infants whose disease occurred after delivery; Condition 3: infants whose mother had a disease that might induce preterm birth or infant morbidity; Condition 4: infants with infectious disease; Condition 5: infants with respiratory distress. Parental distress scores in different demographic and clinical conditions was compared.

Results

The stress of parents worsen when preterm infants had a disease occurred before and during delivery. In contrast, there was no impact when infant had a disease occurred after delivery. The stress of parents worsened when the preterm infants had respiratory distress. In contrast, there was no impact when infant had an infectious disease. When there was a maternal disease that may induce preterm birth or disease in infants, parental stress would worsen.

Conclusions

The risk factors mentioned above increased parental stress as early as 1 month after delivery. Finding the risk factor as early as possible, and then performing a nursing intervention is crucial to decrease parents’ stress when they had preterm infants.

Os cuidados paliativos figuram com desígnio de assegurar a qualidade de vida do enfermo, bem como de seus acompanhantes no decorrer do recurso terapêutico, envolvendo além de mecanismos biológicos, instrumentos psicossociais e espirituais. Ademais, a escuta qualificada é uma competência imprescindível para viabilizar momentos reconfortantes para todos envolvidos. Como objetivo esta pesquisa evidenciou a importância dos cuidados paliativos aos pacientes oncológicos, uma vez que nesse momento, tais cuidados poderão ser realizados de forma humanística, para eles e sua família. Constitui uma revisão bibliográfica em que foram selecionadas as bases de dados LILACS e MEDLINE, contemplando todos os artigos publicados nos últimos cinco anos, entre os anos 2017 e 2022. A busca ativa para verificação de dados foi amparada pela utilização de critérios de inclusão e exclusão, com a finalidade de se tornar mais efetiva. Utilizando-se todos os aparatos para a busca de dados, obteve-se 181 artigos, destes apenas 15 foram aplicados à discussão. A pesquisa concerne aos cuidados paliativos relacionados à humanização. Nesse processo dispõe de uma atuação multiprofissional para que seja o mais efetivo possível, como forma de valorizar a autonomia do indivíduo e seus familiares em um momento de acolhimento de toda equipe profissional. Nesse sentido, fica evidente que os cuidados paliativos devem ser singulares e personalizados de acordo com as características de cada paciente e o estágio em que se encontra. A positividade das ações de manutenção à qualidade de vida, priorizando os desejos do indivíduo e da família, atrelada a empatia dos profissionais para com as pessoas em sua nova realidade, colabora para o bem-estar físico e emocional. A atenção ao paciente oncológico, portanto, não deve ser generalizada, estabelecendo a necessidade de profissionais humanizados e preparados para atender o paciente e seus acompanhantes.

Dental and oral health is essential for general health and well-being and greatly affects the quality of life including speech, chewing, and self-confidence. Various diseases and disorders of the teeth and mouth can affect various functions, one of which is a disorder of the arrangement of teeth or malocclusion. A malocclusion is a form of occlusion that deviates from the standard form. This study aimed to determine the relationship between adolescent behavior regarding crowding of teeth, whether only about one or more teeth. The sample used the total population technique, namely the entire population, was sampled by 55 respondents and analyzed the data with the chi-square test. The results showed that most of the respondents had unfavorable behavior about crowding teeth, as many as 65.4%. The author assumes that respondents lack information about everything related to crowding teeth, causing them not to pay attention to the condition of their teeth properly. Questionnaire data showed poor dental maintenance behavior. In the statement about the quality of life, respondents did not feel that there was anything wrong, so they should be ashamed and not confident about the condition of their teeth. They only get annoyed when their teeth hurt. It can be concluded that the dominant adolescent behavior in the poor category is 65.4%, but the quality of life is dominant in the good category as much as 50.9%. It is suggested that respondents improve good behavior about crowding teeth so that their quality of life of respondents is getting better to avoid dental and oral diseases.

The water quality of the Babura River is increasingly worrying because of the pollution of domestic waste that occurs. The water condition of the Babura River is physically cloudy in color, looks oily and the river contains human feces. The use of polluted Babura River water can cause health complaints, including skin health problems. The purpose of this study was to determine the water quality of the Babura River, as well as the relationship between water use and skin health complaints in the community in the watershed. This research is an analytic survey using a Cross-Sectional design. There was 592 population in this study, living in the Babura River watershed in Petisah Hulu Village. The number of samples in this study was 86 households determined by the Slovin Formula where sampling was carried out by accidental sampling. Data analysis used Chi-square Test (α=95%). Sampling points were carried out at 3 locations namely Station 1, Station 2, and Station 3.  The results showed that water quality had decreased in quality where the Dissolved Oxygen (DO), fecal coli, and total coliform parameters did not meet the river water quality standards according to Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 22 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of Environmental Protection and Management. The statistical test showed that there was a relationship between the use of Babura River water and skin health complaints in the community in the watershed with a p-value of 0.000 (α<0.05). Of all respondents, 17 people experienced skin health complaints in the form of itching and dry, scaly, and peeling skin. It is recommended to the public to avoid using Babura River water directly for daily needs, to neutralize water before using it, and to related parties to try to prevent further pollution in the Babura River.

Published: August 2022

Iron is an important nutrient for making Hb, which is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body's tissues and organs. Iron deficiency can be treated easily and inexpensively. Consuming two bananas a day is an alternative that can meet the needs of iron intake for anemic patients. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of giving Angkak and bananas to anemia in children at PMB Wati in 2021. The design of this study was a descriptive Quasy Experiment, with a two group only pre-post test design. The study involved 2 groups, namely the no-treatment group (added blood) and the treatment group (given added blood and bananas and Angkak). This research data is primary data. This instrument consists of two parts, namely the procedure sheet for giving bananas and Angkak and the action of checking Hb. In this study, the data analysis technique was carried out in two stages of calculation, successively, namely the normality test of the sample data with the Shapiro-Wilk test, and the faired sample test. All calculations were carried out with the help of SPSS for Windows software. Prior to data analysis, using a test on non-parametric statistics. The normality test of the research data used the Shapiro Wilk test. The results of the study were p-value 0.000 < 0.05, meaning that the addition of blood plus bananas and red rice was more effective in increasing hemoglobin levels in anemic children. The conclusion showed that there was a change (increase) in hemoglobin levels after being given treatment to the two groups, namely the added blood group plus bananas and Angkak.

Abstract. We present results from the Met Office Unified Model (UM), a world-leading climate and weather model, adapted to simulate a dry Martian climate. We detail the adaptation of the basic parameterisations and analyse results from two simulations, one with radiatively active mineral dust, and one with radiatively inactive dust. These simulations demonstrate how the radiative effects of dust act to accelerate the winds and create a mid-altitude isothermal layer during the dusty season. We validate our model through comparison with an established Mars model, the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique Mars Planetary Climate Model (PCM), finding good agreement in the seasonal wind and temperature profiles, but discrepancies in the predicted dust mass mixing ratio and conditions at the poles. This study validates the use of the UM for a Martian atmosphere, it highlights how the adaptation of an Earth GCM can be beneficial for existing Mars GCMs and provides insight into the next steps in our development of a new Mars climate model.

Abstract. Smallholder agriculture is the bedrock of the food production system in sub-Saharan Africa. Yields in Africa are significantly below potentially attainable yields for a number of reasons, and they are particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts. Monitoring of these highly heterogeneous landscapes is needed to respond to farmer needs, develop appropriate policy and ensure food security, and Earth Observation (EO) must be part of these efforts. There is a lack of ground data for developing and testing EO methods in West Africa, and in this paper, we present data on (i) crop locations, (ii) biophysical parameters and (iii) crop yield and biomass was collected in 2020 and 2021 in Ghana and is reported in this paper. In 2020, crop type was surveyed in more than 1800 fields in three different agro-ecological zones across Ghana (Guinea Savannah, Transition and Deciduous zones). In 2021, a smaller number of fields were surveyed in the Guinea Savannah zone, and additionally, repeated measurements of leaf area index (LAI) and leaf chlorophyll concentration were made on a set of 56 maize fields. Yield and biomass were also sampled at harvesting. LAI in the sampled fields ranged from 0.1 to 5.24 m2m−2, whereas leaf chlorophyll concentration varied between 6.1 and 60.3 μgcm−2. Yield varied between 190 and 4580 kg ha−1, with an important withinfield variability (average per field standard deviation 381 kg ha−1). The data are used in this paper to: (i) evaluate the Digital Earth Africa 2019 cropland masks where 61 % of sampled 2020/21 cropland is flagged as cropland by the data set; (ii) develop and test an LAI retrieval method from Earth Observation Planet surface reflectance data (validation correlation coefficient R = 0.49, RMSE 0.44 m2m−2; (iii) create a maize classification dataset for Ghana for 2021 (overall accuracy within the region tested: 0.84); and (iv) explore the relationship between maximum LAI and crop yield using a linear model (correlation coefficient R = 0.66 and R = 0.53 for in situ and Planet-derived LAI, respectively). The data set, made available here within the context of the GEOGLAM initiative, is an important contribution to understanding crop evolution and distribution in smallholder farming systems, and will be useful for researchers developing/validating methods to monitor these systems using Earth Observation data. The data described in this paper are available from https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6632083 (Gomez-Dans et al., 2022).

Published: August 2022

Las investigaciones en el ámbito sanitario, como factor del progreso humano a nivel mundial, se han centrado en preservar o restituir la salud, identificar los problemas que permitan el mejoramiento de las condiciones actuales y promover la innovación científica en los diversos campos; lo cual requiere de la participación multidisciplinar e interdisciplinar. Por eso Gabaldon cita las palabras del Razetti en 1928 “La ciencia sanitaria es el primero de los factores de desarrollo humano, porque disminuyendo la mortalidad aumenta el numero de pobladores, que es la base del progreso”, además hace referencia que la malaria es un factor opositor al resurgimiento de la nación. Igualmente, Gabaldon hace un llamado al estudio, la capacitación y divulgación del conocimiento para el cumplimiento de las labores sanitarias, que son expresiones de las capacidades del personal. Este contexto, al devenir del tiempo se afianza para la lucha sanitaria, para enfrentar los retos actuales y futuros para la salud, enfocado sobre las múltiples interrelaciones entre los componentes del desarrollo humano, uno de los cuales es, precisamente, la salud, sin restarle importancia a educación, economía global, un ambiente inocuo y sano, y las libertades para las personas, entre ellas la democracia y los derechos humanos. En este sentido, sevisualiza la necesidad de la producción y divulgación del conocimiento en la amplitud de las dimensiones y determinantes de la salud, a la par de los albores tecnológicos de la modernidad, la macroeconomía y sistemas educativos, más aún, tras la lección aprendida durante la pandemia COVID-19; y para propiciar la integración bioética entre disciplinas.

Durante la pandemia del COVID-19, los médicos se enfrentaron a una admisión masiva sin precedentes de pacientes con neumonía atípica viral. El objetivo del estudio fue comparar las características clínicas de la primera y segunda ola de la pandemia. Se realizó un estudio observacional analítico de los pacientes con neumonía COVID-19 que ingresaron al Hospital Carrión de Huancayo, Perú ubicado a más de 3000 msnm. Se determinaron 2 periodos de estudio, el grupo uno representado por la primera ola caracterizado por la restricción masiva y cuarentena estricta y la segunda ola donde las actividades productivas ya se habían normalizado en gran proporción. De un total de 252 pacientes con COVID-19, la edad promedio fue 56 años en la primera ola y 52 años en la segunda ola, el sexo masculino fue más frecuente en ambos 74% y 57%, la mortalidad fue 27% y 23%, el tiempo de enfermedad fue 8 días y 10 días, respectivamente. Por otro lado, el porcentaje del uso de antibióticos, ivermectina e hidroxicloroquina fue más elevado en la primera ola. El uso de corticoides y la estancia hospitalaria prolongada fueron más frecuente en la segunda ola. La comparación de ambas olas muestra diferencias en la edad, mortalidad y tiempo de enfermedad, que puede deberse a las nuevas variantes moleculares del SARS-COV-2.

Los estudiantes de medicina pueden estar expuestos a infecciones graves relacionadas con la atención de la salud si no siguen las medidas de prevención y control. Hay información limitada sobre el conocimiento y la percepción de los estudiantes de medicina con respecto a la bioseguridad y los enfoques educativos utilizados para enseñarles estas prácticas. El objetivo fue evaluar el conocimiento y la percepción de los estudiantes de medicina hacia las prácticas básicas de bioseguridad. Una encuesta descriptiva y transversal basada en entrevistas incluyó a 120 estudiantes de medicina de la Universidad Regional Autónoma de los Andes, Ecuador. Los estudiantes completaron un cuestionario sobre el conocimiento y la percepción con respecto a las prácticas de bioseguridad. El conocimiento de los estudiantes se evaluó por sus respuestas correctas a las preguntas del instrumento. El 57,5% de los estudiantes cumplen con las medidas de bioseguridad. La mayoría de los estudiantes perciben alto de riesgo de exposición a través de diferentes rutas con distintos patógenos, el argumento mayormente reportado fue el que puede ocurrir un accidente. Se observó que 81(67,5%) de los estudiantes mostraron tener conocimiento adecuado sobre bioseguridad, mientras que 39 demostraron lo contrario. El conocimiento sobre la bioseguridad fue bueno, aunque se necesita más énfasis para mejorar su conocimiento en secciones como la técnica de colocación de guantes, momento de colocarse el gorro y qué es una sustancia antiséptica. Los cursos de Prevención y Control de Infecciones se pueden impartir a partir de su primer año de educación universitaria.

The results of the study showed that the constitutional types of the 24 surveyed pupils were evenly distributed: normal, hyper and hypo-sthenics accounted for 33.3% each. In terms of somatotype, the picture is as follows: 1 student is mesosomal, 1 student is nanosomal and 22 (91,6%) students have microsomal somatotype.
There is no definite correlation between the constitution (form) of the body and somatotype. Body shape or somatotype, is the physique of the human body, but this indicator is not only physical in nature, but it is its future program of physical development, which is determined genetically and does not change in lifetime.
新課程典範探尋：實驗學校校長的課程領導
Authors: 曾煥淦 曾煥淦 , 謝傳崇 謝傳崇
Published: August 2022

本書以近年來臺灣教育變革中的實驗學校為背景，透過Henderson與Hawthorne的轉化型課程領導理論視角，探討不同類型的實驗學校校長進行課程領導之內涵與模式。

書中的幾所個案學校校長藉由轉化型課程領導作為，引領教師對抗教育現場潛藏的意識型態、或是統治者建構的「真理霸權」，扮演「轉化型知識份子」的角色，帶領著學校負重前行、解構再生。這些學校選擇一條少有人走的道路，其課程典範轉移的過程與經驗，是臺灣實驗教育發展歷程中的重要縮影與資產，彌足珍貴且不可忽視。對於這些寶貴經驗，本書分別從理論闡述與實務經驗兩個方向，進行詳細且深入地描述、分析及討論，帶領讀者深度理解這些學校在變革與轉型過程中的美麗與哀愁。

這些研究成果，在此倡議未來教育之際，正可為臺灣教育改革提供參考的方向；同時，亦可協助學校教育工作者洞悉轉化型課程領導的內涵與價值，扮演具有想像力、創造力的改革者，進而建立更多的課程新典範。於此，這也正是本書所特有的學術貢獻與時代意義。

The Devil is in the Tales: Evaluating Eyewitness Testimony in Martin Delrio’s Disquisitiones Magicae (1599–1600)
Authors: Machielsen Jan
Published: August 2022

Martin Delrio’s Disquisitiones magicae (1599–1600) likely was the most successful work of demonology printed during the early modern period. It was also a work of textual scholarship. This article studies in detail the few instances in which the Spanish-Flemish Jesuit chose to discuss anecdotes based on things he either saw or heard and how he attempted to establish their credibility. Embedding these stories in a diverse web of other (textual) examples allowed Delrio to sidestep the vexed issue of discernment, establishing whether demonic agency had ever been involved. Careful study of the origins of these examples shows how many of these stories must have circulated widely and likely would have been changed in the retelling, enhancing their plausibility or relevance. Studying demonology through its shared stories, this article suggests, could open up new and exciting avenues for research.

Published: August 2022

Background: The most common and frequent tumors in the children’s are central nervous system tumors (CNS). Objective: For evaluation of the lag time and clinical spectrum of pediatric supratentorial brain tumors from the time of appearance of symptoms in a patient to the time the patient presents to the hospital. Study design: It is an observational and cohort study conducted in the radiology and oncology department of our institute teaching hospital. Material and Methods: This prospective research was conducted at the oncology department of the children hospital ICH Lahore for one year. The study was approved by the IRB. The duration of the study was from March 2021 to March 2022. The sample size was calculated. The patients of age range between 0 months to 17 years were included in the study. SPSS version 24.0 was used for statistical analysis. Data will be stratified to see the effect modulators. Results: This study included 60 patients 30 girls and 30 boys. The average age of the patients at the time they were diagnosed with pediatric supratentorial brain tumor was 7 years. The majority of the patients reported to have type I neurofibromatosis. Some of the most common symptoms that the patients reported were vomiting, oculo-visual issues, motor problems, headache and endocrine dysfunction. Conclusion: The lag time and clinical spectrum of pediatric supratentorial brain tumors from the time of appearance of symptoms in a patient to the time the patient presents to the hospital was reported to be 2-6 months in majority almost 61% of the children. The 71% children visited the two regional area doctors before visiting the tertiary care hospital. The complex interplay of underdiagnoses, unavailability of the neuro-oncology treatments facilities and higher rates of abandonment in the LIMC are the basic reason behind survival gaps of the delayed presented patients. Keywords: Pediatric supratentorial brain tumors, lag time, low/middle income countries (LMIC), Central nervous system (CNS) tumors and intraxial tumors.
Afinal, por que sou professor?

Refletindo sobre nossa atuação profissional em meio à sociedade contemporânea, surgiu o questionamento: Afinal, por que sou educador? E a partir disso: Para quem, para quê e por que a educação, que está posta, serve? Enquanto educadores de escola pública federal, percebemos o quanto nossa prática ainda é tecnicista e empobrecida das reflexões cruciais sobre o processo civilizatório. Desse modo, este artigo objetiva estabelecer o papel do educador frente às variáveis contemporâneas. Para tal, realizou-se uma pesquisa de cunho bibliográfico, pautando-se na literatura sobre a temática, balizando as discussões e reflexões. Na tentativa de responder à problemática de pesquisa, o artigo foi dividido em três seções: o papel do educador; o processo educativo como uma variável contemporânea; e, a imbricação da equação civilizatória com a Educação. Alcançar o objetivo da pesquisa, mostrou-se uma reflexão complexa, contudo, evidenciamos que o educador possui inúmeras possibilidades de incorporar as variáveis contemporâneas no processo educativo.

Relações entre os tipos de discursos e o público visitante em uma trilha ecológica
Authors: Santos Nayane de Jesus Pinheiro , Valle Mariana Guelero do
Published: August 2022

Este trabalho objetivou investigar as relações estabelecidas entre os tipos de discursos e o público visitante em uma trilha ecológica localizada em um Parque Botânico, no município de São Luís, Maranhão. O público visitante foi constituído   de dezoito alunos do oitavo ano do Ensino Fundamental e duas professoras de Ciências oriundas de uma escola do mesmo município. Foram realizadas observações de visitas mediadas, assim como registros fotográficos das placas e gravações de vídeo no momento das visitas com o objetivo de registrar a fala do mediador e do público visitante. Para a análise foram utilizados o indicador Estético/Afetivo de Cerati (2014) e as tipologias de discurso de Orlandi (1987).  No que se refere ao discurso expositivo encontrado na trilha, foi observado um conjunto de elementos textuais, tais como placas de interação, identificação e informação. Quanto às interações observadas, houve uma predominância do indicador referente à possibilidade de interação e contemplação dos objetos da exposição, o que evidenciou que as interações observadas permeiam em torno das interações manuais, mentais e culturais favorecendo a atribuição de novos significados e a possibilidade do jogo de sentidos, de modo que o discurso não seja limitado.
COVID-19 pandemic and vaccine geopolitics
Authors: Sreenivas A V , Jain Pragati
Published: August 2022

COVID-19 investigates and reveals the intersections of public health and geopolitics at various scales and locations. The existing literature focuses on geopolitical health determinants. It has also been demonstrated how populist nationalism influences public responses to disease. COVID-19 is being portrayed in a popular geopolitical context, with expertise being called into question, conspiracies being spread, lockdowns being contested, mask-wearing and vaccination being mocked. Calls to keep "foreign" pathogens and viruses out of national territory enable extraordinary measures, xenophobic politics, and increased border and border-related surveillance.Aside from the COVID-19 pandemic, the world was in the grip of a COVID-19 vaccination crisis. COVID-19 vaccines were previously only available in limited quantities and were only available to high-income countries with bilateral agreements with vaccine pharmaceutical manufacturers. Because some countries and pharmaceutical companies prioritized bilateral agreements, the quandary over vaccine quantities and accessibility had reached critical levels of inefficiency. There has been a "moral failure," leaving the world's most vulnerable people behind. As a result, rich and poor countries must collaborate to establish priorities based on a geopolitical-epidemiological approach that first identifies countries that are most vulnerable and bear the brunt of the pandemic's burden.
