Teachers’ profession is widely described as a mentally challenging one, often leading to burnout. As emotional exhaustion is higher among representatives of this occupation in comparison to other highly emotionally challenging professions, it is important to help teachers gain necessary skills and tools in order to maintain good emotional and overall wellbeing, and effectively cope with daily stressors. The aim of the study described in this paper was to assess the impact of a 5-module emotional intelligence developing training program on teachers’ psycho-emotional health. Study sample consisted of 45 teachers, who took part in the study, filling in the research questionnaires before and after the completion of the designed training program. Participants were asked to subjectively rate their level of stress and other parameters, defining their subjective wellbeing. Results of the study revealed that after completing the training program, participants indicated a statistically significantly lower level of stress (p< 0.01). Also, participants’ subjective evaluation of the quality of their social relationships and their overall wellbeing was significantly higher (p< 0.01) after the training program completion.

Authors: Santiago Júnior Orlando 
Published: December 2021

Deep bite malocclusion impacts function of the stomatognathic system, patients’ quality of life and self-stem by compromising oral and facial esthetics. The malocclusion can involve teeth and facial skeleton, for such is one of the most challenging malocclusion treatments. The aim of this investigation is to check the clinical belief that Planas’ Equiplan is efficient to treat deep bite malocclusion. Dental overbite was measured in 21 patients submitting to Jaw Functional Orthopedics treatment at post-graduation course. The inclusion criteria were a vertical trespass of the incisal border of the upper incisors covering the vestibular face of the lower incisors more than 3 mm, treatment cooperation and a consent form signed by the patients, or their legal tutor, allowing the use of the data obtained for research and didactic purposes. The initial measurement (T0) and 15 months treatment (T1) was collected to study overbite behavior during treatment with Planas’ Equiplan. The mean overbite of the sample at T0 was 5,02 ± 1,311 mm, at T1 the mean overbite was 2,38 ± 1,026 mm. The difference T1-T0 is –2,65 ± 1,462 mm (p< 0,01). The data presented here supports the efficacy of the use of Planas’ Equiplan in the treatment of Deep bite Malocclusion.

Authors: ERGÜL Merziye , NODEHİ MOGHADAM Afsun , BIGLARIAN Akbar 
Published: December 2021

Purpose: Spasticity is a common problem among people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). This study aimed to
compare the effects of static stretching exercise (SSE) and functional stretching exercise (FSE) on lower
limb spasticity, function, lower limb pain, active range of motion (ROM), and health-related quality of life
(HRQOL) in patient with MS.
Methods: Twenty-six participants were randomly allocated into two groups. SSE group (n=12) completed
a four-week (12 sessions) SSE of hamstrings, quadriceps, hip adductors and plantar flexors muscles. FSE
group 2 (n=12) completed a four-week (12 sessions) FSE of the same muscles. The outcome measures
were Modified Modified Ashworth Scale, Timed Up and Go Test, Timed 25 Foot Walk Test, active ROM
assessment, Visual Analogue Scale, and EuroQoL 5-Dimension 5-Level questionnaire.
Results: In each group, decrease of spasticity, improvement of functional tests, decrease of pain, increase
of ROM and increase of HRQOL were statistically significant compared to baseline (p0.05). A strong
correlation was found between decreased spasticity and functional improvement in the SSE group (r=0.793, p=0.002). In the FSE group, there were moderate correlations between decreased spasticity and increased ROM (r=0.689, p=0.013) and between increased ROM and functional improvement (r=0.593, p=0.042). There was also a strong correlation between decreased spasticity and increased HRQOL (r=0.721, p=0.006).
Conclusion: The regular four-weeks of SSE or FSE can decrease lower limb spasticity, improve function,
decrease pain, increase active ROM and increase HRQOL in patients with MS.

Variability and trends of climate extremes indices from the observed and downscaled GCMs data over 1950–2020 period in Chattogram City, Bangladesh
Authors: Pervin Lia , Khan Md. Sabbir Mostafa 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
This study was intended to evaluate the variability and trends of climate extremes by incorporating daily data from Chattogram station and from the high-resolution Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) for two different time series. Here, we also focused on evaluating the performance of the selected RCMs (CanESM2, CSIRO, and GFDL from CORDEX) using Taylor diagrams and heat map analysis. Twenty-two extreme climate indices from ETCCDI were computed for the 1950–1989 and 1990–2020 periods. Mann–Kendall and Sen's slope test were performed to estimate the trends from the indices from both station and RCMs data. Highly significant increasing trend for the warm days and warm nights’ frequencies were found, whereas the frequency of cold days and cold nights indicated a significantly decreasing trend. On the other hand, a mild increasing trend in 1-day and 5-day maximum rainfall was detected. Also, the average annual precipitation has increased by 6% from the 1950–1989 to 1990–2020 period. During the last three decades, the region has experienced heavier rainfall in the monsoon but increased water stress in the dry season. The two-fold effects of climate change on the local hydrology revealed by this study need to be addressed properly for the sustainable development of this region.
UV-light-driven cadmium sulphide (CdS) nanocatalysts: synthesis, characterization, therapeutic and environmental applications; kinetics and thermodynamic study of photocatalytic degradation of Eosin B and Methyl Green dyes

Published: December 2021

Abstract
Cadmium sulphide (CdS) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized through hydrothermal route and characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy dispersive X-ray analysis, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA).The band gap of CdS nanoparticles was found to be 2.38 eV. CdS NPs are crystalline aggregates with hexagonal structure as shown by SEM and XRD analysis. TGA study revealed that the synthesized nanomaterials were very stable to temperature and only 6.54% total loss occurred during heating range (25 °C–600 °C).The CdS NPs were used for the first time against the degradation of Eosin B (EB) and Methyl green (MG) dyes in aqueous solution.The degradation of EB and MG over CdS nanocatalysts followed second order kinetics. The predicted activation energies for both the dyes' reactions were 61.1 kJ/mol and 32.11 kJ/mol, respectively. About 95% and 90% dye degradation was observed at the time interval of 160 minutes for EB and MG, respectively. High percent degradation of EB was observed at high pH (pH 0) while at low pH (pH 4) high percent degradation was found for MG dye. Maximum dye degradation was found at the optimal dose (0.03 g/L) of the catalyst and at low dye concentration. The rate of EB and MG dye degradation was found to increase with increase in temperature up to 45 °C. The recyclability study showed that CdS nanoparticles could be reused for the degradation of the given dyes. Good antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus was shown by CdS NPs. From the biocompatibility it was confirmed that CdS NPS are bioincompatible compatible.

Os territórios do hospício e o domínio da loucura na imaginação literária de Guillermo Rosales
Authors: De Moura Isaque 
Published: December 2021

A trajetória biográfica do escritor cubano Guillermo Rosales é atravessada por um extenso histórico de violência, desajustes e frustrações. Perseguido por vozes e visões que o atormentavam, Rosales foi diagnosticado com esquizofrenia ainda durante a adolescência, tendo passado por diversas instituições psiquiátricas ao longo da vida. Parte dessas experiências estão expostas em sua obra de maior destaque, o romance Boarding Home, publicado originalmente em 1987. No livro, Rosales dá voz a seu alter ego, o protagonista William Figueras, escritor exilado da ilha de Cuba que narra sua rotina na condição de interno em um sanatório particular nos Estados Unidos. O personagem expõe os abusos, as situações precárias do hospício e as constantes agressões físicas e psicológicas às quais ele e outros pacientes são submetidos, descrevendo um cenário no qual os sujeitos tornam-se progressivamente despojados de individualidade. Assim, tomando como referência o espaço asilar do manicômio e seu contexto de aniquilação de subjetividades, este artigo busca refletir sobre as dinâmicas de deterioração identitária no mundo do internado e os processos de desfiguração pessoal aplicados ao regime de confinamento na home. Nessa perspectiva, mobilizam-se os pressupostos teóricos do sociólogo canadense Erving Goffman (1987), nas discussões acerca das instituições totais, e os principais mecanismos de mortificação associados a tais estabelecimentos. As análises foram realizadas com base na edição original do romance, publicada pela editora espanhola Siruela, em 2003. Argumenta-se que a Boarding Home, enquanto suposta casa de saúde mental, desvia-se gravemente de sua finalidade terapêutica, na medida em que os personagens incorporam e reproduzem a violência da estrutura institucional que os suplicia. Nessas circunstâncias, compreende-se que o espaço manicomial não opera como local de acolhimento ou cuidado, mas como engrenagem de opressão, abandono e extermínio de vidas humanas.
Genomics of Pulmonary Hypertension
Authors: Welch Carrie Lynn , Chung Wendy K. 
Published: December 2021

Background -Pulmonary hypertension (PH), defined by mean pulmonary artery pressure &gt;20 mmHg, is a common physiologic manifestation of many diseases. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) represents a smaller subgroup of patients who have PH, and PAH causes significant cardiorespiratory morbidity and premature mortality. PH can manifest across the lifespan, with similar incidence for both pediatric- and adult-onset disease. However, pediatric-onset disease is particularly challenging because it is frequently associated with a more severe clinical course and comorbidities including lung and heart developmental anomalies. For PH Group 1/pulmonary arterial hypertension, causal genetic variants can be identified in ~13% of adults and ~43% of children.Clinical implications –Education about the option for genetic testing is strongly recommended for all pediatric and adult HPAH/IPAH patients. Both gene panel and exome/genome sequencing tests can be useful in diagnosis, but exome/genome sequencing provides a comprehensive dataset for reanalysis over time for cases without an initial diagnosis. Knowledge of genetic diagnoses can immediately impact clinical management of PH, including multimodal medical treatment, surgical intervention, transplantation decisions, and screening for associated conditions.Conclusions -There is a need for large, diverse, international consortia with ever-improving analytical pipelines to confirm previously implicated genes, identify additional genes/variants, assess penetrance, and clinically characterize each genetic subtype for natural history, prognosis and response to therapies to inform more precise clinical management.
A Rare Case Report of Inguinal Herniation with Urinary Bladder as its Content
Authors: Pawar Samadhan , Borde Chaitanya , Patil Atul , Ramesh Yasam Venkata , Nagarkar Raj 
Published: December 2021

Background:
Although inguinal hernias are common, cases of inguinal hernia involving the bladder were observed to be very rare (<5%). Diagnosis of Inguinal
Bladder Herniation (IBH) is very challenging, and it was reported to be identified only in ≤10% of cases prior to an operation and ≤20% during
surgical intervention. The majority of the patients are asymptomatic or have non-specific symptoms, making the condition difficult to diagnose
pre-operatively. In many cases, the condition is usually diagnosed intraoperatively. Therefore, diagnosis, surgical planning, and careful
management can play a vital role in avoiding any unwanted complications.

Case Presentation:
In the present case, a 60-year-old male patient with a known history of malignancy was presented to our hospital without any symptoms related to
inguinal hernias.

Conclusion:
During his routine check-ups, the patient was fortuitously diagnosed with IBH. The patient underwent surgery, and the defect was repaired using
Bassini hernioplasty without any complications. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. On follow-up, no pain or urinary-related symptoms were
reported.
Immunotherapeutic Approaches for the Treatment of Neurodegenerative
Diseases: Challenges and Outcomes
Authors: Mondal Amal Chandra , Sushma  
Published: December 2021

Background:
Neurodegenerative diseases, being rapidly increasing disorders and the
seventh leading cause of death worldwide, have been a great challenge for researchers, affecting
cognition, motor activity and other body functioning due to neurodegeneration. Several neurodegenerative
diseases are caused by aggregation of proteins which induce the alteration of neuronal
function leading to cell death. These proteins are amyloid-β peptide, tau, α-synuclein, and mHTT,
which cause Alzheimer’s disease, Frontotemporal dementia, Corticobasal degeneration, Progressive
supranuclear palsy, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple system atrophy, Dementia with Lewy-body
and Huntington’s disease. Currently available treatments only reduce symptoms and increase life
sustainability; however, they possess side effects and are ineffective in curing the diseases.

Objectives:
Literature survey of neurodegenerative diseases and immunotherapeutic approaches is
used to evaluate their pharmacological effects and future endeavours.

Methods:
A literature search was performed to find the relevant articles related to neurodegenerative
diseases and immunotherapies. Clinical trials data were analysed from clinicaltrial.com.

Result:
According to literature study, it was found that researchers have explored the effect of active and passive vaccines generated against amyloid-β, tau, α-synuclein and mHTT. Few clinical trials have shown severe side effects and terminated, despite of that, few of them produced desirable effects for the treatment of AD and PD.

Conclusion:
Several immunotherapeutic trials have shown promising outcomes against amyloid-β,
tau and α-synuclein. In addition, various preclinical studies against mHTT and prion proteins are
under scrutinization. These clinical outcomes indicate a promising role of immunotherapies against
neurodegenerative diseases.
Residual Magnetic Moment Influences the Features of Fe3s XPS Spectrum:
A Case Study
Authors: Sahu Ranjan K. 
Published: December 2021

Background:
Fe 3sXPS spectrum exhibits doublet peak instead of predicted singlet
peak based on spin-orbit coupling theory. This anomalous behavior is considered to be of magnetic
origin. However, the effect of residual magnetic moment on the features of Fe3s doublet
peak is not understood fully.

Objective:
This study aims to verify the effect of residual magnetic moment on the spectral features
of Fe3s XPS spectrum of magnetic material.

Method:
As a case study, we have carried out a high-temperature XPS study of the Fe 3s spectrum
of magnetic domain aligned (MDA) sample with composition composed of SrFe10.8Al1.2O19.
In addition, the XPS data have been compared with the data acquired at different temperatures of
magnetic domain non-aligned (MDNA) sample.

Results:
The results show that the majority peak intensity and minority peak width of Fe 3s spectrum
of MDA are smaller than those of the MDNA sample, and they increase systematically with
increasing temperature. However, it is noted that the features of Fe3s spectrum of both MDA and
MDNA samples completely overlap near and above the Curie temperature, Tc ~ 670K.

Discussion:
The residual magnetic flux in the MDA sample alters the interaction between 3s
electrons and valence 3d spin. In addition, the presence of residual magnetic moment leads to deviation
of the escaped electrons from their path, therefore the majority peak intensity of MDA
sample becomes smaller than the MDNA sample at below the Curie temperature. Consequently,
the spectral features of MDA samples are different than the MDNA samples at below the Curie
temperature.

Conclusion:
The analysis of XPS data suggests that the residual magnetic moment influences the
spectral features of the Fe3s spectrum. These results provide evidence that it is important to consider
the contribution of the residual magnetic moment while deriving information from the Fe 3s
XPS spectrum of the MDA sample.
Chemical Sulphate Corrosion on Cement Composites in Various Model
Environments
Authors: Estokova Adriana , Kovalcikova Martina 
Published: December 2021

Background:
Cementitious composites, which are subject to increasing demands, are
often exposed to various external attacks, such as aggressive groundwater and surface water,
chemicals in the soil, gas penetration, or phenomena related to water freezing and melting. One
of the most common reasons for the deterioration of cement composites is the corrosion process.
Corrosion results in irreversible damage that occurs during the chemical reaction of the material
with the components of the environment.

Methods:
The paper deals with experimental study of chemical sulphate corrosion of cement
composites prepared from three types of cement: ordinary Portland cement; sulphate-resistant
cement; and special hybrid cement, and industrial by-products and wastes: silica fume, zeolite
and a special mineral admixture based on blast furnace granular slag as cement partial substitutes.
Samples of cement composites were subjected to corrosion experiments in a sulphate environment,
which took place in the laboratory under model conditions for 180 resp. 270 days.

Results:
The deterioration parameters: changes in the weight and thickness of the samples, surface
and mineralogical changes, leachability of the basic components of the cement matrix as well as
changes in the liquid phase proved the degradation process due to chemical sulphate corrosion,
model solutions of H2SO4 with pH 3 and 4, and solution of MgSO4 with c (SO4
2 -) = 3 and 10 g /L.

Conclusion:
By comparing the leachability of the alkali components from cement composites, it
can be concluded that for the most aggressive model solution (H2SO4 with pH 3), both slagcontaining
formulations are the most stable in terms of the total ratio of leached calcium and silicon.
This finding is also supported by the results of water absorbency tests, which confirmed that
despite the increase in absorbency after chemical corrosion, cement composites with slag content
reach the lowest values.
