Os participantes foram submetidos a avaliação da força muscular respiratória por meio das pressões inspiratórias e expiratórias máximas e espirometria para avaliação da capacidade pulmonar, nas condições clínicas de repouso e após a prática. Foi realizada a análise descritiva e estatística dos valores encontrados, sendo considerado uma idade média de 28,4 anos dos indivíduos, além de um aumento descritivo nas variáveis analisadas após o treino de Crossfit®, sendo significante a relação VEF1/CVF no sexo masculino. Sendo assim, a análise da função respiratória foi capaz de identificar uma diferença na capacidade pulmonar no sexo masculino
Voir les monstres : caricature et tératologie en France au xixe siècle
Authors: Baridon Laurent , Guédron Martial 
Published: December 2024

La présente étude porte sur la place de l’iconographie tératologique dans l’image satirique à partir du xixe siècle, quand les monstres humains se manifestent aussi bien dans les spectacles forains que dans la culture médicale. La compréhension scientifique de la monstruosité connaît alors une mutation remarquable, en particulier avec les travaux de l’école rationaliste représentée par les naturalistes et zoologistes français Étienne et Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire. Selon ces derniers, le monstre est un indice de la variabilité des espèces et, par conséquent, un témoignage du processus créateur de la nature. Cette normalisation du monstrueux accompagne sa prolifération dans la culture visuelle. Au début des années 1830, au moment où Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire publie son Traité de tératologie, se déploie un imaginaire littéraire et graphique qui, d’une part, humanise le monstre et, d’autre part, l’identifie en chaque individu. Les caricaturistes promeuvent le monstrueux comme une déformation expressive de la figure humaine qui sous-tend la satire des normes morales, sociales et artistiques.
Fasciste, viril et colonial : le corps paradoxal des naturistes futuristes dans l’Italie du Ventennio (1922-1943)
Authors: Vitacca Sara 
Published: December 2024

Vers la fin du xixe siècle se diffusent en Europe des utopies naturistes qui, en réaction à l’industrialisation de la société, promeuvent une régénération des corps fondée sur un contact renouvelé avec la nature, le nudisme et le pacifisme. En Italie, les idées naturistes se répandent tardivement et prennent une tournure radicalement singulière. Alors qu’en 1934 les futuristes Filippo Tommaso Marinetti et Arnaldo Ginna signent le manifeste du naturisme futuriste, ils refusent toute forme de nudité sociale, considérée comme un comportement sauvage et immoral ; ils célèbrent la communion entre nature et technologie, et envisagent un nouvel idéal corporel viril, guerrier et fasciste. La présente contribution vise à souligner, d’une part, la profonde contradiction qui existe entre l’intérêt des futuristes pour les philosophies alternatives du corps et la pensée écologique, d’autre part, leur assujettissement au projet fasciste de régénération hygiénique des Italiens. À partir de cette étude de cas, qui apporte un point de vue inédit sur l’histoire culturelle du corps en Italie, il s’agit plus généralement de faire apparaître des enjeux actuels liés à la relation entre corps, nature et pouvoir, et la façon dont les écologies corporelles peuvent être exploitées par la propagande d’un régime totalitaire.
The Beaded Rim: An Assessment of Functionality of Neolithic Plaster Ware and Pottery
Authors: Nilhamn Bonnie 
Published: December 2024

The beaded rim is a commonly applied feature found on plaster ware at the site of Tell Sabi Abyad in North Syria. The plaster ware, also known as white ware, dates back to the Early Pottery Neolithic phase (ca. 6700–6250 cal. BC). A comparison of this plaster ware with the coexisting Neolithic pottery has yielded striking results, showing that beaded rims, commonly found on plaster ware, are rare to absent in the pottery material. This discrepancy between the materials raises questions and urges an investigation into the implications for the further development of the function of containers in Neolithic society. Based on the results of this case study, this paper discusses why the beaded rim is significant on plaster ware, what it may indicate about the manner in which the plaster ware vessel was produced, and its usage and function.
Polycythaemia among term newborns: Incidence, risk factors and complications: Descriptive study in a teaching hospital in Sri Lanka
Authors: Weerakoon Pushpakumara , Weeraseekara Medha 
Published: December 2024

Background: Polycythaemia in the newborn is defined as either venous haematocrit above 65% or haemoglobin levels at or above 22 g/dL. Objectives: To detect the incidence, risk factors and complications of neonatal polycythaemia in a Sri Lankan cohort. Method: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the Sri Jayewardenepura Teaching Hospital from November 2021 to June 2022. All neonates more than 37 weeks of gestation were included. To evaluate the maternal and neonatal variables, a comparative analysis was done between polycythaemic and non-polycythaemic groups.Results: According to the haemoglobin cut-off threshold, 22 (17.5%) neonates had polycythemia and 104 (82.5%) had Hb levels below 22 g/dL. In this study, no participant had severe polycythaemia, 19 (15.1%) had mild polycythaemia, and 3 (2.4%) had moderate polycythaemia. Of the sample, 52 (41.3%) were born by normal vaginal delivery and 74 (58.7%) by caesarean section. Regarding management, 11 (8.7%) newborns required enteral feeding adjustment and 9 (7.1%) required partial exchange transfusions.Conclusions: Incidence of polycythaemia in this study was 17.5%. Neonatal polycythaemia was significantly associated with the delivery method (p=0.019). However, none of the maternal variables were significantly associated statistically with the development of neonatal polycythaemia.
An investigation of wild bee communities in salt marsh and dyke habitats within the agricultural region of Nova Scotia, Canada
Authors: Roulston Terrell Trever , Pindar Alana , Lundholm Jeremy T. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Wild bees (Hymenoptera) that visit croplands rely on adjacent habitat to provide essential resources such as pollen, nectar, and nesting locations. This study compared wild bee assemblages on salt marshes and dykes, two coastal habitats proximal to cropland in Nova Scotia, Canada. We hypothesised that dykes would have a greater wild bee abundance and richness compared to salt marshes due to greater floral abundance and richness and nesting habitat availability. Wild bee richness and abundance differences between habitats were not significant. Most notably, Bombus (Latreille) and Megachildae (Latreille) bees were observed visiting a wind-pollinated salt marsh grass, Sporobolus michauxianus (Peterson and Saarela) (Poaceae). Several notable species were also observed, including the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada species of concern, Bombus terricola (Kirby) (Hymenoptera: Apidae), and Lasioglossum taylorae (Gibbs) (Hymenoptera: Halictidae), a first Nova Scotia record. Floral abundance and richness were significantly greater in dyke habitats. These results contradict other studies that indicate a tight relationship between wild bees and floral abundance and richness. To help conserve these wild bees and their contributions to agriculture, more research is needed to understand how these species use salt marshes and dykes.

This literature review explores the multifaceted nature of tobacco use and its health implications, emphasizing the role of nursing interventions in smoking cessation. The review highlights various strategies employed by nurses, including assessment, counseling, pharmacotherapy support, and behavioral interventions, which are essential for effective tobacco cessation. By analyzing current evidence-based practices, the study underscores the importance of comprehensive assessments and personalized care plans tailored to individual patient needs. It also addresses the significance of motivational interviewing and the 5 A’s framework in facilitating successful quit attempts. In addition, the review discusses the integration of cognitive-behavioral therapy and stress management techniques as vital components of behavioral interventions. Recommendations for improving tobacco cessation efforts include enhanced training for healthcare professionals, the establishment of community-based support groups, and advocacy for robust tobacco control policies. The findings underscore the critical need for ongoing research into the long-term effectiveness of cessation interventions across diverse populations. This study aims to inform nursing practice and public health policy, ultimately contributing to the reduction of tobacco-related health issues and promoting healthier communities.
Efficacy of 25% dextrose versus breast milk on pain and duration of cry during heel prick in neonates: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Acharya Sabitri , Koul Pity , Pokhrel Santosh , Paul Talagatoti David Ratna 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
Neonates, especially admitted to neonatal intensive care unit, frequently need various medical interventions in their early days. A common procedure is the heel prick for blood sampling. Although necessary for diagnosis, this procedure can be stressful for neonates, causing pain, extended crying, and discomfort. Reducing distress in neonates during such procedures is important for the well-being of neonates and the satisfaction of caregivers and healthcare providers. Therefore, this review aims to identify and compare the efficacy of 25% dextrose and breast milk on pain and duration of cry among neonates during heel-lance. As part of its review process, the article examined widely used databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, Academia, and Google Scholar. For the meta-analysis, the authors utilized RevMan 5.4. All eligible trials were analyzed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool to assess the quality of the included studies and evaluate the risk of bias. Out of 131 studies reviewed, seven studies were included in meta-analysis of pain, and four studies were included in duration of cry. The results show that 25% dextrose is more effective to reduce pain among neonates during minor invasive procedure like heel prick (P < 0.00001), whereas both interventions are effective in the reduction of crying duration. This review highlights that dextrose is more effective in reducing pain in comparison to breast milk. However, additional well-designed studies with larger sample sizes and extended follow-up periods are needed to validate and build upon the current findings. Hence, this review underscores the importance of utilizing effective pain management strategies, such as 25% dextrose, to enhance neonatal care and improve the overall well-being of newborns during invasive procedures.
Left ventricular noncompaction concealed as a case of congestive cardiac failure in a toddler: A case report
Authors: Thakur Shaifalika , Kishore Sunil , Kumar Rakesh , Ahmar Rizwan 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a rare congenital structural problem of the heart resulting from the persistence of embryonic myocardium. However, the presentation of this entity, usually in the form of cardiac failure poses a diagnostic dilemma to the treating pediatrician. We report a case of congestive cardiac failure in a 2-year-old which was later discovered to be due to this rare entity. Our case highlights the importance of being open to the possibility of LVNC when a child presents in a cardiac emergency, especially due to its close imitator-hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. With early recognition, we can thus advance further into preventive pediatric cardiology.

Published: December 2024

Pineapple, a tropical fruit with an important sugar content, is often used to produce a traditional wine. This study was carried out to explore the effect of heat and addition of sugar on pineapple must fermentation. Pineapple must was fermented and total soluble solids content, pH, temperature and alcohol content were analysed. A significant decrease in total soluble solids was detected during the fermentation (21.83 ± 0.34 to 7.00 ± 0.37), the pH value between 4.19 ± 0.02 and 3.39 ± 0.03 and the fluctuation in temperature was observed during the fermentation. The alcohol content significantly increased in all samples during fermentation. The alcohol content also significantly increased in the presence of sugar (9 ± 0.2 after 24 hours and 10 ± 0.2 after 48 hours) respectively. The use of yeast and sugar might be an important option to improve the alcohol content in pineapple wine. It will be important to explore the chemical component in both spontaneous and yeast fermentation for defining the quality of the traditional pineapple wine.

La nécessité d’habilitation des plantes utilisées en médecine traditionnelle africaine a suscité des investigations sur Moringa oleifera dont les connaissances restent empiriques. L’objectif de ce travail était de faire l’inventaire des différents usages médicaux et alimentaires du Moringa oleifera. C’est dans ce cadre, qu’une étude ethnobotanique a été menée dans deux régions du Sénégal entre décembre 2022 et février 2023 auprès de 102 personnes. Les résultats ont montré que les feuilles et les graines de Moringa oleifera étaient les organes les plus utilisés en thérapie, avec respectivement 85,70% et 57,50%, suivis des racines (30%) et des écorces (28,15%). Ces organes ont été utilisées essentiellement dans le traitement de pathologies diverses telles que : le paludisme (56%), l’hypertension artérielle (HTA) (51,5%), le diabète (49%), la sinusite (34%) et l’ulcère (27,45%). Les modes de préparation les plus fréquents étaient la décoction (72%), la macération (53,9%) et l’infusion (34,32%). Pour les usages alimentaires, les feuilles (89,29%) ont été les organes les plus sollicitées. Ces résultats constituent une contribution dans la mise en place d’informations ethnobotaniques sur Moringa oleifera et devraient conduire vers des investigations plus ciblées, notamment phytochimiques et phytopharmacologiques.

The aim of the present study was to examine the zooplanktonic prey preferences of two important artisanal fish species, Ethmalosa fimbriata (Clupeidae) and the Eucinostomus melanopterus (Gerreidae) in Lake Nokoué. A monthly sampling was conducted from September 2021 to January 2022, and the stomach contents of the sampled fish were analyzed using presence-absence and numeric abundance methods. The results revealed that both species primarily consume three main zooplankton taxa: copepods, rotifers, and cladocerans. Ethmalosa fimbriata, especially individuals subadults (9-13 cm) consistently favored Copepods, with an occurrence frequency of 70.45%, regardless of its size. In contrast, Eucinostomus melanopterus, especially adult individuals (13-15 cm), exhibited a strong preference for Cladocerans, with an occurrence frequency of 50.54%. The monthly variation in the Average Nutrition Index (ANI) for E. fimbriata showed higher feeding intensity during November (5.9 ± 5.0) and lower in January (1.92 ± 1.2), with a significant difference (P-value<0.05). Principal Component Analysis indicated no significant zooplankton prey preference based on size among juvenile stages of E. fimbriata. However, adult E. melanopterus demonstrated a discernible selectivity towards Cladocerans. These findings, with significant size-dependent variations (P-value<0.001), provide valuable insights into the dietary preferences and ecological roles of these two fish species in Lake Nokoué.

The Accurate detection of iron ions is of paramount importance for both environmental protection and human health. To this end, this work focused on the use of Carbon dots (CDs) obtained by hydrothermal method from grapefruit peel. These CDs were used as a sensor for detecting iron ions. Under Ultra-Violet (UV) irradiation, these CDs exhibited intense blue fluorescence. In addition, the results of pH optimization during the detection of iron ions revealed that the CDs can allow simultaneously detection of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions at pH between 2 and 5 with detection limits of 32.631 µg/L and 36.751 µg/ L at pH 4, and selectively Fe3+ ions at pH 1 with a limit of 38.072 µg/L by bimodal colorimetric and UV-Vis spectroscopy detection. It should also be noted that these results were due to result in color changes in natural light and in a more pronounced quenching of fluorescence in the presence of ferric ions.
Etude des modèles d’activités diurnes du cobe defassa (<i>Kobus ellipsirymnus defassa</i>, Ruppell, 1835) dans le parc national du Niokolo Koba sud-est du Sénégal

L'étude se portait sur le modèle d'activité diurne de la population de cobes defassa (Kobus ellipsiprymnus defassa) dans le parc national du Niokolo Koba du Sénégal au niveau de cinq mares permanentes. L’utilité était de connaitre les activités pour bien gérer ces espèces et leur écosystème. Nous avons fait des observations directes sur des individus et/ou à l’aide de jumelles afin de déterminer les schémas d’activités pendant huit heures de temps par jour, selon Altman (1974), l’individuel a été choisi au hasard, le sexe et la structure sociale déterminés si possible. Les individus de petite taille ont été enregistrés comme juvéniles avec des fois des sexes inconnus, les individus de taille moyenne avec cornes ont été enregistrés comme mâles sub-adultes, les individus de taille moyenne sans cornes ont été enregistrés comme femelles sub-adultes, les individus de grande taille avec cornes ont été enregistrés comme mâles adultes, et les individus de grande taille sans cornes ont été enregistrés comme femelles adultes. L'alimentation a représenté les plus grandes occasions d'observation (70,5%), suivie par le repos (coucher) (19,5%) et l’activité debout (6,25%). Les résultats ont montré aussi que, les cobes marchent davantage le matin et en fin d’après-midi. Pendant la mi-journée correspondant aux heures chaudes les cobes se reposent en se couchant et des fois sous l’ombre ou bien sur les herbes fraîches. Il est d’une importance capitale de miser sur la conservation des grands herbivores dépendants à l’eau comme le cobe defassa car leur conservation permettrait de faire une bonne gestion en même temps de l’écosystème de l’aire protégée qui constitue le dernier de ces espèces sauvages au Sénégal. Toute information publiée spécifiquement sur les espèces concernant la dynamique de sa population, l’organisation sociale, les schémas d’activités diurnes et leurs conséquences sont essentielles pour la gestion de la conservation de toute faune sauvage, et plus important encore, pour l'une des espèces des grands herbivores dépendants à l’eau qui abrite le parc national du Niokolo Koba (PNNK) du Sénégal.
