Intellectual Property Rights in Polish Feminist Activism: Navigating Identity, Values, and Commodification
Authors: Szpyrko Karolina 
Published: September 2024

The study maps out how trademarking practices influence activist movements’ identity, values and resistance to commodification. While previous studies have explored legal entanglements within social movements, there remains a significant gap regarding the rise of trademarking within contemporary social movements. This study addresses this gap by examining the intersection of intellectual property rights (IPR) and human rights activism within the feminist movement in Poland, which gained momentum in 2016 in response to proposed abortion restrictions. The article proceeds by way of a single case study – a high profile trademarking case involving the Dziewuchy Dziewuchom [Gals for Gals] activist group, which sparked significant controversy and debate in 2018 in the feminist circles in Poland.Utilising a feminist cultural conceptual lens and methodology, the study extracts from literature on the socio-political and cultural framework of IPR and feminist brand activism. The study draws on extensive research conducted since 2016 within the contemporary feminist movement in Poland, consisting of interviews and ethnographic fieldwork.The findings indicated that contemporary social movements increasingly use trademarking to protect their identities and control their narratives. However, this introduces contradictions between ownership and the collective nature of activism. While trademarking aims to safeguard a movement’s identity, it simultaneously risks commodifying its core values.Contribution: The main contribution of this research is its insight into how trademarking practices affect the identity, values and resistance to commodification of activist movements, aligning with the broader focus on intellectual property in social and cultural studies.
Sowing seeds: A pastoral critique to the theology of survival by the mega-church movements of Makandiwa’s United Family International Church and Magaya’s Prophetic, Healing and Deliverance in Zimbabwe
Authors: Hove Rabson 
Published: September 2024

The political instability and poor governance of Zimbabwe since the Mugabe era have led to gross socio-economic deprivation that caused many citizens to sink into abject poverty. This has created a sense of insecurity and despondency among the citizens. Amid the suffering, the mega-church prophets rose, who seemed to provide an alternative route to recover from the political and socio-economic crisis. This article gives an overview of the crises in Zimbabwe and the rise of prophets Emmanuel Makandiwa and Prophet Walter Magaya and their doctrine of seeding. The focus of the article is interrogating the purpose of the doctrine of seeding in the life of the prophets, their followers and their challenges. This is achieved by employing the four tasks of theology conceptual framework. These tasks prompt four important theological questions that can assist in addressing societal challenges. This is a qualitative desktop research article that generates data from secondary sources such as books, journal articles, newspaper articles. Firstly, this article enunciates some of the contextual challenges that arose because of the rise of Magaya and Makandiwa. Secondly, it discusses the desire for survival by using the doctrine of seeding. Thirdly, the article concludes by analysing the mega-prophets’ doctrine of seeding.Contribution: The scholarly significance of this article lies in the current discourse of religious movement and theological challenges within the discipline of practical theology. It raises concerns about theology that is self-serving instead of seeking the greater good by addressing the social injustices prevailing in the Zimbabwean context.
Erotic Temples: Sexual, Spiritual, and Psychiatric Riddles
Authors: Mikheeva Anastasia , Agoramoorthy Govindasamy 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Hinduism is one of the oldest mainstream religions and over 1.2 billion people follow this faith worldwide. Historically, Hindu temples have played a pivotal role in promoting the righteous way of life to endorse religious, spiritual, and virtuous values in society. Exhibiting splendid sexual sculptures was part of the architecture of all ancient Hindu temples. They incidentally served as brilliant public gathering scenes where communities came together to share celebrations, ideals, values, rituals, customs, and wisdom to pursue life with magnificent mental balance and tranquility. Some of the ancient temples are exclusively erotic in nature, outwardly spotlighting the significance of safeguarding human sexual health and mental well-being. Several scientific papers have been written in recent years on spirituality and mental health. However, little is known in the social science literature on the mental health benefits associated with India’s erotic temples devoted to sexuality and sex in itself. This article presents some insights into the potential mental health benefits extended by erotic Hindu temples dedicated to sexuality, sensual desire, and sexual energy.
Thrombopoietin ameliorates doxorubicin-induced toxicities in H9c2 myocardiocytes by inhibiting oxidative stress through the SIRT1/p38 MAPK signaling pathway
Authors: Zuo Xu-Han , Huang Yu , Chen Bo-Cen , Zhu Ming-Yue , Zhang Cai-Cai , Jiao Han-Yi , Lu Li-Fang , Xiao Man , Wang Han 
Published: September 2024

Objective:
To explore whether thrombopoietin can exert a protective effect against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by modulating the sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) signaling pathway.

Methods:
H9c2 cell viability was determined by CCK-8 and cardiomyocyte apoptosis was detected by TUNEL assay. The protein expressions of SIRT1 and p38 MAPK were measured by Western blot. RT-qPCR was also used to determine S1RT1 mRNA expression. In addition, intracellular reactive oxygen species levels and antioxidant enzyme activities were evaluated.

Results:
Thrombopoietin treatment reversed doxorubicin-induced decline in H9c2 cell viability. It also increased SIRT1 and decreased p-p38 MAPK protein expressions. In addition, thrombopoietin significantly attenuated doxorubicin-induced apoptosis and oxidative stress, and enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities. However, silencing S1RT1 abrogated the protective effects of thrombopoietin, as evidenced by reduced cell viability and increased oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species levels.

Conclusions:
Thrombopoietin alleviates doxorubicin-induced cardiomyocyte injury by reducing oxidative stress and apoptosis via the SIRT1/p38 MAPK pathway. However, its protective effects need to be further verified in animal tests.

Authors: Zamri Mohammad Izuan Mohd , Shafie Nur Juliani , Ali Mohammad Ridhuan Mohd , Awoniyi Adedayo Michael , Argibay Hernan Dario , Costa Federico 
Published: September 2024

Objective:
To examine the socio-environmental factors associated with the assemblage of small mammals and the prevalence of Leptospira pathogen in poor suburban communities of Terengganu, Malaysia.

Methods:
We trapped small mammals from 119 trapping points scattered around three suburban communities of Terengganu using sausage-baited live traps. On the average, we set up five traps for three nights at each sampling point during the trapping period. Kidneys of captured animals were harvested and processed for Leptospira investigation. Additionally, environmental survey was conducted at each trapping point to obtain information about possible variables supporting small mammal assemblage. We used a generalized linear model to evaluate the effect of different socio-environmental variables on small mammals’ assemblage.

Results:
A total of 89 small mammals, specifically, Rattus norvegicus (n=39), Rattus rattus (n=27), Rattus exulans (n=10), Suncus murinus (n=11), and Tupaia glis (n=2) were captured from 1 385 trap nights. Fourteen individuals (15.7%) of the captured animals tested positive for Leptospira bacteria using PCR detection. Results of our generalized linear model showed only residences bordering vacant lots as the variable positively associated with small mammal occurrence in the three study sites.

Conclusions:
Small mammal community, especially the often neglected species, could harbour and potentially contribute towards pathogenic Leptospira maintenance in the study sites. To adequately control small mammals’ population and subsequent human zoonoses transmission, it is critical to advocate and promote appropriate infrastructure and suburban services, together with good hygiene practices that can reduce the animals’ access to food and harborage.
Meta-analysis: Simplified overview for dental clinicians
Authors: Wadgave Umesh 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
With the rapid growth in research, clinicians are witnessing a huge number of transformations in treatment techniques, materials, devices, and technology for the management of dental problems. However, the biggest challenge for clinicians is to determine which among the new products or methods are truly reliable and beneficial for patients. Consulting an expert or reading any random article will not significantly solve this problem. We require a more systematic and robust approach to address this problem. The systematic review and meta-analysis are robust and comprehensive research methods that evaluate multiple research articles both qualitatively and quantitatively. The meta-analysis is the quantitative component of a systematic review, which mathematically combines the results of multiple research articles and provides estimates with greater power and precision. As a clinician, it is essential to understand the basics of meta-analysis to greatly reduce the problem in practicing evidence-based dentistry. This article discusses the basics of meta-analysis with a special focus on summary measures, forest plots, and heterogeneity.
Relationship among Tobacco Habits, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Infection, p53 Polymorphism/Mutation, and the Risk of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Authors: Gupta Neha , Yumnam Gargi , Sharma Chetan , Patel Avani , Sharma Ripudaman , Dev Sachin , Ghadage Mahesh 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a multifactorial malignancy influenced by various genetic and environmental factors. Tobacco habits, human papilloma virus (HPV) infection, and p53 polymorphisms or mutations have been implicated in its etiology. Understanding their interplay can provide insights into OSCC risk assessment.

Materials and Methods:
A case–control study was conducted among 300 OSCC patients and 300 age- and sex-matched controls. Data on tobacco use (smoking and smokeless), HPV infection status (detected via PCR), and p53 polymorphism/mutation (analyzed by sequencing) were collected. Statistical analysis included logistic regression to assess the associations and interactions among these variables.

Results:
Among OSCC cases, 75% were tobacco users compared to 35% in controls. HPV prevalence was significantly higher in OSCC cases (30%) than controls (5%). P53 mutations were identified in 40% of OSCC cases compared to 10% in controls. Logistic regression revealed synergistic effects between tobacco use and HPV infection (OR 5.2, 95% CI 3.0–9.0) and additive effects with p53 mutations (OR 3.5, 95% CI 2.0–6.0).

Conclusion:
Tobacco habits, HPV infection, and p53 polymorphisms/mutations independently and synergistically contribute to the risk of OSCC. Strategies focusing on tobacco cessation, HPV vaccination, and genetic screening may help mitigate OSCC risk in susceptible populations.

Abstract

Introduction:
Anaphylaxis was the first serious adverse event (AE) of special interest surfaced in Singapore following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. Individuals who developed physician-diagnosed severe allergic reactions to the mRNA vaccines would be medically ineligible for mRNA vaccines and offered non-mRNA alternatives. This paper describes anaphylaxis reports received by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) and presents a review of individuals who received heterologous COVID-19 vaccination.

Methods:
Reports of anaphylaxis associated with the COVID-19 vaccines received till 31 July 2022 were reviewed and adjudicated using the Brighton Collaboration case definition criteria by an HSA-appointed expert panel. Additional review was conducted for cases with heterologous vaccination for any subsequent reactions until administration of third dose of COVID-19 vaccines.

Results:
Among 112 adjudicated anaphylaxis cases, majority occurred in females, adults and persons with allergy histories, which were consistent with global observations. Most cases (71%) occurred within 30 minutes of vaccination. The reporting incidence rates (IRs) of 0.67 and 0.55 per 100,000 administered doses for Comirnaty and Spikevax vaccines, respectively, were comparable with IRs reported overseas, whereas the IRs for non-mRNA vaccines (Sinovac-CoronaVac and Nuvaxovid) were much higher at 4.14 and 29.82 per 100,000 administered doses, respectively, likely due to selection bias. Review of the 20 cases following heterologous vaccination found varying reactions to subsequent vaccinations.

Conclusion:
Anaphylaxis is a rare but serious AE in which outcomes can be mitigated with timely medical intervention. The case review helped to guide vaccination strategies and added to the cumulative knowledge of safety with heterologous vaccination.

Authors: Deng Xi-Jin , Wang Yi-Nan , Lv Chuan-Bao , Qiu Zhong-Zhi , Zhu Ling-Xin , Shi Jing-Hui , Sana Si-Ri-Gu-Leng 
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a common procedure in cardiac surgery. CPB is a high-risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI), and diabetes is also such a factor. Diabetes can lead to copper overload. It is currently unclear whether AKI after CPB in diabetic patients is related to copper overload.
AIM
To explore whether the occurrence of CPB-AKI in diabetic patients is associated with cuproptosis.
METHODS
Blood and urine were collected from clinical diabetic and non-diabetic patients before and after CPB. Levels of copper ion, lactate, glucose, heat shock protein-70 (HSP-70), and dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLAT) were determined. A diabetic rat model was established and CPB was performed. The rats were assessed for the development of CPB-AKI, and for the association of AKI with cuproptosis by detecting copper levels, iron-sulfur cluster proteins and observation of mitochondrial structure by electron microscopy.
RESULTS
CPB resulted in elevations of copper, lactate, HSP-70 and DLAT in blood and urine in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients. CPB was associated with pathologic and mitochondrial damage in the kidneys of diabetic rats. Cuproptosis-related proteins also appeared to be significantly reduced.
CONCLUSION
CPB-AKI is associated with cuproptosis. Diabetes mellitus is an important factor aggravating CPB-AKI and cuproptosis.
