A Laserterapia de baixa intensidade vem se destacando como uma ferramenta de grande valia, tendo como benefícios modular os processos inflamatórios e reparo de lesões cutâneas. Logo o objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar a prática do enfermeiro no manuseio da Laserterapia para tratamento da lesão por pressão. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de caráter descritivo, exploratória, com abordagem quantitativa, que buscará descrever a prática de enfermeiros no manejo da Laserterapia para tratamento de Lesão por pressão que atuam em Várzea Grande, Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, DF e Goiás (região Centro Oeste). O estudo foi realizado com 19 enfermeiros especialistas que trabalham com a Laserterapia no tratamento de lesões por pressão na região. As variáveis permitem concluir o perfil do enfermeiro que atua com a laserterapia na região Centro Oeste para tratamento de LPP: são prevalentemente mulheres com menos de 40 anos, formadas há mais de 7 anos, atuantes em torno de 2 a 4 anos e capacitadas por meio de cursos. No que se refere a utilização das ferramentas de gestão, 14 (29%) utilizam a ficha de atendimento prioritariamente, 12 (25%) o protocolo e 10 (20%) o processo e enfermagem. No tratamento das LPP em estágio 1, 16 dos enfermeiros (84,2%) disseram obter cicatrização total. As lesões de maior complexidade como as de estagio 3 e 4, necessitam de maiores frequências, revelado a utilização de mais de 10 sessões pelos 14 profissionais (73,7%) no tratamento de lesão em estágio 3; e por 17 dos enfermeiros (89,5%) a aplicação mais de 10 sessões de laserterapia para lesões em estágio 4. A partir de pesquisa sobre o tratamento de lesões, constatou-se que houve uma evolução significativa, onde o enfermeiro obtém resultados positivos no tratamento principalmente na cicatrização total da LPP. A Laserterapia exigiu do enfermeiro mais qualificação para atuar nesta área, e tem apresentado efetividade e eficiência sob o seu olhar criterioso. As dificuldades encontradas foram relativas à condição do paciente e característica da própria lesão, estado nutricional, condições de acamamento e pressão, comorbidades e doenças crônicas que dificultam os resultados da terapia e que por sua vez exige maior tempo, esforço do enfermeiro para o manejo e tratamento além do gasto dispensado pelo paciente.

Polish road type-specific trend models for predicting the frequency of traffic accidents
Authors: Gorzelanczyk Piotr 
Published: November 2024

<p> Every year many people are fatally injured or killed on the roads. The number is still quite high, even if it is decreasing from year to year. Although there are fewer accidents on the roads since the epidemic, the number is still relatively high. To minimize the number of road accidents, it is important to understand which types of roads have the highest number of collisions and what the accident forecasts are for the coming years. The purpose of this article is to forecast the number of accidents on Polish roads according to their type. The study consisted of two parts. The first included a forecast of the number of road accidents for 2022–2031, based on an analysis of annual data from police statistics on the number of road accidents in Poland in 2000–2021. The second part of the study focused on monthly data from 2000–2021. In this case, a forecast was also set for the period from January 2022 to December 2023. The results of the study indicate that even after analyzing annual statistics, the number of incidents can be expected to stabilize in the coming years. This is mainly due to the expansion of expressways, especially highways, and the increase in traffic volume on Polish roads. It should be noted that the current epidemic is distorting the results.</p>
Modelowanie tematyczne w socjologii na przykładzie dobrobytu społecznego: wyzwania metodologiczne i komponent ludzki
Authors: Cichocki Piotr , Baranowski Mariusz 
Published: December 2024

Biorąc pod uwagę dynamicznie rozwijające się obszary nauk społecznych uwarunkowanych technologiami sieciowymi oraz humanistyki cyfrowej (ang. Digital Humanities), warto przeanalizować adekwatność socjologicznych metodologii analizy danych w tych nowych warunkach. Dostępność dużych zbiorów zdigitalizowanych danych stanowi nie tylko wyzwanie dla „klasycznych” metod analizy, które opracowane zostały w innych warunkach i do innych celów. Jeszcze ważniejsza kwestia dotyczy tego, czy podział na metody ilościowe i jakościowe, między którymi istnieje wyraźna linia demarkacyjna, ma sens w obliczu Big Data. W niniejszym artykule, na podstawie modelowania tematycznego (ang. topic modeling), opartego na LDA (ang. Latent Dirichlet Allocation), autorzy stawiają tezę, że ilościowe metody (probabilistyczne modele statystyczne) nie stanowią uzupełnienia lub punktu wyjścia do analiz jakościowych (standardowe podejście), lecz ich integralną część. Teza ta zostanie zilustrowana przykładem wyznaczenia tematów w obrębie zbioru 17 278 artykułów na temat dobrobytu społecznego, opublikowanych w czasopismach indeksowanych w bazie Web of Science w latach 1992–2020. To empiryczne studium przypadku posłuży także do sformułowania uwag metateoretycznych na temat „kohezji” metod ilościowych i jakościowych w perspektywie uczenia maszynowego (ang. machine learning) i przetwarzania języka naturalnego (ang. natural language processing – NLP).
Exploring The Nexus: Pathological Narcissism, Substance Abuse, and Self-Regulation as Predictors of Suicidal Ideation in College Students
Authors: Akanbi Samuel Toyin 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe study explored the predictors of suicidal ideation among university undergraduates focusing on the roles of narcissism, substance usage, and self-regulation. A correlational approach was adopted for the study. A total of 1,411 undergraduates selected through a multistage random sampling from three Nigerian universities participated in the study. Suicide Ideation Scale (α= .76), The Short Self-Regulation Questionnaire (α=.87), Drug Abuse Screening Test (α=.7), and Pathological Narcissism Inventory (α=.94) were used to gather information from the participants. Data collected were subjected to statistical screening through the Pearson Product Moment Correlation and multiple regression. The outcomes showed that a combination of the three main predictors explained a total of 32% (R2=.322; F(4,1406)= 166.557; p.01) of the variance in suicide ideation. Narcissistic Grandiosity (β= -.507; t= -14.945, P0.01), and Self-regulatory Behaviour (β= -.155; t= -6.411, P0.01) inversely predicted suicidal ideation while Narcissistic Vulnerability (β= .573; t= 16.864, P0.01), and Substance Abuse (β= .274; t= 11.453, P0.01) positively predicted it. The findings underscore the need for comprehensive mental health support systems that address the underlying psychological factors contributing to suicidal ideation.

<strong><em>Implementation of Three Information Technology Access Points as an Effort to Enhance Resources in the Development of Kampung Inspirasi. </em></strong><em><em><span lang="EN-US">Sumbersalak village, Ledokombo District, Jember Regency is located at the foot of Mount Raung, with the geographical conditions of many coffee plantations. The majority of the people there work as coffee farmers and breeders of goats or cattle. There is the Sekar Wangi farmer group, a collection of several potential residents with visionary souls. The activities carried out by the farmer groups range from making Arabica and Robusta coffee. All community activities are carried out at Rumah Inspiration. The place is for various activities, including children's learning activities, making compost, and even the Sekar Wangi farmer group center. One of the informants we interviewed was the head of the farmer group in Sumbersalak Village. From the survey, the majority of people work as coffee farmers, and many piles of coffee skin waste and livestock manure are left unattended so that they can pollute the environment. Residents usually sell the coffee skin itself for 300 rupiahs per kilogram. Therefore, a design was made regarding the manufacture of compost from coffee husk waste and livestock manure using a compost mixer with digital technology. It aims to utilize waste which can later be utilized as a result in organic compost by coffee farmers and traded online through e-commerce so that more people know about this product, it can improve the economy of the Sumbersalak villagers later.</span></em></em>

Abstract

Background Recent studies have demonstrated that the intestinal microbiota, and in particular the metabolites produced by the microbiota, play a role in the pathogenesis of cancer. We hypothesized that gut microbiota and microbiota metabolites may change negatively in breast cancer patients. The trial included 65 women with breast cancer and 50 women as a control group. A Food Frequency Questionnaire characterised daily macronutrient intake over the past 1 month. A metagenomic analysis was conducted based on all hypervariable regions (V1-V9) of the 16S rRNA gene with the objective of investigating the composition and diversity of the microbiome.Results A microbiome analysis revealed that the composition of the gut microbiome differed between cases and controls. In particular, the diversity of microbes in the gut was reduced in breast cancer patients. The present study has demonstrated that serum lipopolysaccharide levels and the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio are elevated in breast cancer patients in comparison to the control group. We found that breast cancer patients who participated in our study had non-ideal dietary patterns. The relationship between diet and gut microbiota exerts a profound influence on the complex interplay between these two factors. This relationship may have an impact on the development of breast cancer and the likelihood of cancer metastasis.Conclusions It can be postulated that interventions that enhance microbial diversity through dietary recommendations may have a beneficial impact on health, particularly in patients with breast cancer.
Tensor Subspace Learning andFolded-concave Function Regularizationfor Hyperspectral Anomaly Detection
Authors: Ma Fei , Hou Aihua , Yang Feixia , Xu Guangxian 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Hyperspectral anomaly detection focuses on identifying and localizing the anomalous targets in remote sensing. The complex scenarios in hyperspectral imagesmake it more difficult to effectively distinguish anomalous objects from background data, especially in noisy environments. Furthermore, matrix factorizationoften unfolds hyperspectral cubic data into two-dimension form, but this causesthe structural knowledge to be lost. To surmount the above disadvantages, weproposes a tensor subspace-based learning strategy with folded-concave regularization for hyperspectral anomaly detection. First, hyperspectral data undergoesinitial preprocessing through band selection and robust tensor principal component analysis to generate a dictionary representing the background. Then,a tensor subspace learning approach aims to factorize hyperspectral data intothe background and anomaly tensors, in which the folded-concave function isleveraged to minimize minor components for denoising. Next, lF,1 norm on tensor is used to extract abnormal information from hyperspectral data. Finally,comprehensive experiments on several real datasets show that the proposed algorithm performs better than the comparative benchmark methods in detection performance.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is characterized by the miniaturization of hair follicles, leading to hair thinning and loss. Existing treatments are limited, and stem cell-derived exosome therapy has emerged as a potential alternative. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cell (P-MSC) exosomes for treating AGA.
Methods: This phase I/II clinical trial included 12 alopecia patients aged 18-60. Exosomes were isolated from mesenchymal stem cells harvested from placentas of consenting donors and injected into the scalp every 14 days for 2 months. Outcome measures included hair density, hair diameter, and hair loss count, assessed at baseline, 3 weeks, and 6 weeks post-intervention. Data were analyzed using the repeated measure ANOVA with STATA version 14.2.
Results: At baseline, the mean hair density was 96.5 hairs/cm², hair diameter was 0.049 mm, and hair loss count was 200 hairs. Post-intervention, hair density significantly increased to 111.7 hairs/cm² at 3 weeks and 163.5 hairs/cm² at 6 weeks. Hair diameter also increased significantly to 0.058 mm at 3 weeks and 0.059 mm at 6 weeks. Mean hair loss count decreased significantly to 80 hairs at 6 weeks. No significant adverse effects or changes in clinical laboratory findings were observed.
Conclusions: Placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cell exosome therapy demonstrated significant improvements in hair density, diameter, and reduced hair loss in patients with androgenetic alopecia. Further controlled trials with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods are warranted to validate these findings and explore the molecular mechanisms involved.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Stress is an inherent and inextricable aspect of the live. When stress is excessive, it become chronic and has a negative impact on health. There is a need to disseminate knowledge about stress management techniques in order to reduce stress levels. In response to this demand, STRESmission, a psycho-educational tool was designed. It comprises task cards (grouped according to Aristel's triad of soma, psyche and polis), stress event cards (scored based on the Holmes and Rahe stress event scale), power and place cards, and a game board. We have tested if STRESmission (1) reduces perceived stress levels immediately and on a one-off basis, and whether it is an educational tool that helps in the acquisition of coping strategies, (2) can reduce stress levels in the long term, (3) is useful and attractive enough to encourage its use and therefore practical use of its benefits. A series of studies was conducted on groups of University students. We have found that STRESSmission decreased both subjective stress levels (psychological tests) and objective stress levels (lowering cortisol - CORT levels in the saliva). We concluded that the board game could be a stress-releasing and a learning tool to help cope with stressors.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background
Approximately 5–10% of breast cancer (BC) is caused by germline mutations in BC susceptibility genes. Genetic testing is mainly performed through multigene panels, which identify variants characterized as benign, pathogenic (PVs) or of uncertain significance (VUSs). In Greece, genetic testing is reimbursed in specific patient groups.
Methods
This observational, retrospective, cohort study included patients diagnosed with early BC and aimed to assess the distribution and prevalence of germline mutations in patients with early BC in North Greece, the differences in characteristics between tested and not-tested individuals and the impact of PVs on the disease-free survival (DFS).
Results
Out of 2245 participating patients, 797 (35.5%) underwent genetic testing, of which 565 (70.9%) were entitled to reimbursement. Mean age at diagnosis of the tested patients was 45.9 ± 10.2 years versus 57.4 ± 12.2 years of those not-tested (p < 0.001). A total of 166 patients (20.8% of tested individuals, 7.4% of the total cohort) harbored PVs and 302 (37.9%) harbored VUSs. The 44.6% of the identified mutations were located in BRCA1/2 genes, followed by mutations in CHEK2 (13.9%) and ATM (7.8%). PV-carriers had a statistically significant lower DFS (HR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.17 to 2.36; p = 0.005).
Conclusions
In this real-world study, 1/3 of patients with early BC in North Greece were genetically tested, of which roughly 70% had at least one indication for reimbursement. PVs were detected in 7.4% of the participants with more frequent findings in BRCA1/2 genes. PV-carriers presented a statistically significant worse DFS.

The primary objective of its cultivation is the extraction of essential oil, which is widely utilized in various sectors, including cosmetics, perfumery, food and beverage production and pharmaceuticals. It is also a shade loving crop and suitable for intercropping in plantation crops especially coffee, tea, rubber and oil palm. The present study was conducted to screening out of the bioactive compounds and their pharmaceutical value in the essential oil of P. cablin grown under both rubber plantations and sole crop via gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The results revealed that, steroids, terpenes, aromatic compounds and esters were found. In addition, several novel bioactive compounds with high pharmaceutical value are also found. These compounds which provides a way for the preparation of novel health care medicines to treat various health related problems. Hence, patchouli is recommended as the most suitable intercrop under rubber plantation.
Impact of Phosphorus Fertilization Rates on Nitrous Oxide Emissions in Switchgrass: Nonlinear Response Reveals Emission Reduction at Low Phosphorus Rates
Authors: Osei Augustine Kwame , Gabbanelli Nadia , Oelbermann Maren 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Aims
Phosphorus (P) fertilization can play a critical role in increasing switchgrass biomass yields for bioenergy production. However, applying mineral P to switchgrass can stimulate nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, offsetting its climate mitigation benefits. The effect of P fertilization on N2O emissions is not well understood, with previous studies producing conflicting results. Moreover, studies evaluating the effect of P fertilizer on nitrogen (N) dynamics and its contribution to N2O emissions under switchgrass are lacking.
Methods
A 43-day study was conducted in a controlled-environment to evaluate the effect of different P fertilizer rates on N2O emissions in N-fertilized switchgrass. Four different fertilizer rates [(i) 60 kg N ha–1 (60N0P); (ii) 60 kg N and 20 kg P ha–1 (60N20P); (iii) 60 kg N and 40 kg P ha–1 (60N40P); (iv) 60 kg N and 60kg P ha–1 (60N60P)] and a treatment with no fertilizer (0N0P) were evaluated.
Results
While switchgrass biomass yield was less responsive to N and P fertilization, P fertilization had a nonlinear effect on N2O emissions. Applying P at 20 kg ha–1 resulted in lower emissions compared to N-only treatment. In contrast, increasing the P rate to 40 kg ha–1 led to the highest N2O emissions, surpassing those of N-only treatment. At 60 kg P ha–1, emissions were comparable to the N-only treatment.
Conclusions
These findings suggest that while moderate P application can reduce N2O emissions, higher P rates may increase emissions, offsetting the climate benefits of switchgrass as a bioenergy crop.
