Published: September 2024

Background. The problems of diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients with endometrial cancer (EC) remain relevant for the entire medical community. Radical surgical intervention shows high efficiency among the existing methods of EC treatment. However, it causes many complications that require rehabilitation support for patients. The development of new instruments and protocols for rehabilitation of EC patients is necessary.Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of comprehensive personalized rehabilitation program in patients after radical surgical EC treatment.Material and methods. A prospective randomized comparative study included 61 patients with histologically verified stage IA endometrioid adenocarcinoma of high or moderate differentiation degree. The patients were divided into two groups: the group of “active” rehabilitation (n=29), and the group of “passive” rehabilitation (n=32). During 1 year, their physical, mental health and social engagement were assessed using questionnaires.Results. The survey showed a low level of physical, functional, emotional and social well-being of EC patients at the first 3–7 days after surgery. After 12 months, a recovery in the quality of life of all participants was observed. However, patients undergoing “active” rehabilitation recovered significantly faster, and their quality of life was significantly higher compared to patients undergoing “passive” rehabilitation.Conclusion. The obtained results indicate the effectiveness of a personalized approach in rehabilitation of EC patients. It is expected that its implementation will considerably reduce the incidence of complications and the burden on the healthcare system.

Published: September 2024

<p>В статье рассматриваются ключевые этапы становления и развития юннатского движения в СССР. Авторы актуализируют роль научного волонтерства и гражданской науки в контексте развития движения юннатов. Эмпирической базой исследования выступают научные статьи по философии, социологии и истории науки. Метод исследования, используемый в статье, — качественный контент-анализ. Используя данный метод, удалось выделить этапы становления и развития юннатского движения в СССР и развития экологического просвещения в рамках движению юннатов. 1. Этап появления и институционализации юннатского движения (1918–1930-е гг.). 2. Идеологический этап (1930–1950-е гг.). 3. Этап научной институционализации (1960–1990-е гг.). На основании проведенного исследования делается вывод о масштабности проекта юннатского движения в СССР, а также утверждается, что подобное движение в СССР было уникальным по своей сути, не имело аналогов по научной насыщенности и исследовательской базе. Отличительной чертой юннатского движения в СССР выступает планомерная институционализация и привлечение большого количества волонтеров- участников, а на более поздних этапах – активная работа по экологическому просвещению в школах и подготовка преподавательских кадров. Полученные в исследовании результаты важны и с точки зрения возрождения юннатского движения и экологического просвещения в современной России.</p>

Authors: Rosa Rafael Gomes , Pasca Maria Alejandra Saraiva 
Published: September 2024

A Síndrome de Down é uma alteração cromossômica causada pela existência de um cromossomo extra nas células do indivíduo (GONZÁLEZ, 2007). Indivíduos com Síndrome de Down apresentam atrasos intelectuais, dificuldades auditivas, problemas referentes à linguagem e à aprendizagem. O seu processo de desenvolvimento da linguagem é particularmente problemático devido a problemas referentes à memória de curto prazo e ao processamento auditivo. No entanto, apesar de tais dificuldades, a criança com Down tem direito a aprender línguas estrangeiras (LE) e capacidade para isso, embora seja necessário planejamento de atividades e atendimento diferenciados em sala de aula em comparação com aqueles utilizados com crianças sem Down. O principal objetivo deste artigo é analisar os benefícios e desafios do método audiolingual para o ensino de LE a aprendizes com Down. Para tanto, é feito um estudo exploratório sobre o conceito e as características da síndrome de Down, a aquisição de L2 na educação especial através da abordagem audiolingual (BUCKLEY, 2002; GOMES, 2012; GONZÁLEZ, 2007; PUESCHEL, 1993; BROWN, 2007; LARSEN-FREEMAN, 2001; RICHARDS e RODGERS, 1986).

Authors: Silva Cícero Pereira da , Aires Jussara Danielle Martins 
Published: September 2024

Em pleno século XXI uma pandemia paralisou o mundo, visibilizando e acentuando fragilidades já existentes também no campo da Educação, afetando significativa e especialmente, a conduta e desempenho de professores, com a adoção de medidas profiláticas e de contenção da COVID-19. A educação de qualidade para todos os cidadãos, tendo se popularizado como garantia e meta prioritária da Agenda para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável até 2030 e a elaboração de politicas educacionais eficazes sinaliza a necessidade de se apreender o que se sabe e o que ainda é necessário saber acerca das potencialidades e desafios do ensino em tempos de pandemia. Com base nisso, este artigo objetiva apresentar um panorama da pesquisa sobre possibilidades e desafios do ensino em tempos de COVD-19 segundo a percepção docente. A literatura foi revisada de forma sistemática, respeitando critérios de captura de fontes (a partir da base Scopus), seleção e análise do conhecimento. 23 artigos foram finalmente selecionados para leitura e análise integral. Os resultados mostram que a investigação está concentrada, sobretudo no continente europeu, principalmente na Espanha. Duas temáticas centrais são realçadas: 1) a avaliação do nível de estresse, esgotamento, saúde mental, bem- estar, permanência e qualidade de vida no trabalho docente; e 2) o impacto da pandemia nas práticas de ensino; novas experiências e desafios relacionados a competências, questões técnicas, sociais, relacionais e de gênero. Em termos metodológicos, mostraram-se expressivas as pesquisas sob abordagem quali e quantitativa. Cinco grandes desafios para a execução de seu trabalho docente em tempos de pandemia foram identificados por professores de diferentes níveis de ensino: i) falta de contato pessoal com os alunos; ii) carga de trabalho adicional e mais stress, iii) equipamento técnico inexistente; iv) falta de competências digitais; e v) incapacidade de oferecer apoio individual aos alunos em risco. Soluções exigem não só a aquisição de dispositivos digitais, mas também o desenvolvimento de currículos bem pensados e planejados do ponto de vista pedagógico e a oferta de oportunidades para melhorar as competências digitais. É necessário criar condições de trabalho sustentáveis para contrariar os efeitos a longo prazo da pesada carga de trabalho sobre os professores.

Authors: Roldós María Isabel 
Published: September 2024

Purpose:This study sought to understand how a convenient sample of college students between the ages of 20 and 35 years of age in the Bronx perceive and experience violent crime (VC). The focus of the study is on perceptions of risk and an exploration of crime prevention strategies.Methods:This project conducted two online focus groups with a sample of 24 young adults residing in the Bronx, NY, enrolled at the higher education institution in Spring 2021 and Fall 2022. The main research questions are the following: (a) How do young adults in the Bronx perceive and better understand VC risk? (b) What are the young people’s proposals or ideas to develop prevention strategies to address VC in the Bronx? The focus groups were held online using Zoom and Mentimeter.Results:Study participants expressed concerns about feeling unheard and feeling of a constant threat to their safety. They expressed a lack of trust for the existing political and social programs and did not express strong community ties and community engagement. This research suggests a promise of using spatial research to engage young adults in the Bronx in VC prevention and advocacy programs.Conclusions:Overall, this study found an active voice in young adults when discussing VC. Participants expressed a need for community dialogue and action to address the increasing trend of VC in the Bronx.

Authors: Chappelle Noelle , Tadros Eman 
Published: September 2024

Background:Racially minoritized individuals make up the majority of the incarcerated population. The incarceration of a family member has lasting effects on family dynamics, particularly impacting the lives of adolescents. There is a need to understand how these experiences affect adolescent self-esteem and the role of family boundaries.Objective:To examine the impact of familial incarceration on adolescent self-reported self-esteem and the moderating role of boundaries between adolescents and their fathers, using structural family therapy as a guiding framework.Methods:The study utilized data from the 2016 wave of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-Children and Young Adults (NLSY-CYA), with a sample size of 341 adolescents. Simple linear and hierarchical regressions were conducted to assess the relationships between familial incarceration, perceived parental closeness, and adolescent self-esteem.Findings:Regression analysis revealed that having an incarcerated family member and lower perceived parental closeness were significantly associated with reduced self-esteem in adolescents. Additionally, closeness to fathers did not act as a protective factor in mitigating the negative impact of familial incarceration on adolescent self-esteem.Conclusions:The findings indicate that while familial incarceration and perceived parental closeness negatively impact adolescent self-esteem, closeness to fathers does not serve as a buffer. These results suggest that practitioners should explore alternative protective factors to support adolescents' self-esteem following familial incarceration.

Published: September 2024

Caulerpa racemosa, a type of green algae, has been studied for its potential health benefits, including antioxidant and an- tibacterial properties. The extraction of bioactive compounds from marine algae using green solvents like Deep Eutectic Sol- vents (DES) has gained interest due to their efficiency and en- vironmental friendliness. This research aimed to determine the potential antioxidant activity of C. racemosa extract using DES solvents and different sonication times as an antibacterial against pathogenic bacteria. The research employed a Facto- rial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two variables: sonication time (10, 20, and 30 minutes) and different DES solvents (ethanol and ethylene glycol (1:20) with 90% aquades, and methanol and glycerol (1:10) with 90% aquades. The highest antioxidant activity was found in DES Methanol-Glycerol (36.39 mg TE/g dw), followed by DES Eth- anol-Ethylene glycol (28.30 mg TE/g dw), both significantly different (p<0.05). The C. racemosa extract inhibited the growth of V. parahaemolyticus with an inhibition zone of 8.08 mm at 50 ppm and 13.13 mm at 1,000 ppm. For V. harveyi, inhibition started at 6.37 mm at 50 ppm, reaching 11.70 mm at 1,000 ppm. DES Methanol-Glycerol with a 10-minute soni- cation provided the highest antioxidant activity and effectively inhibited V. parahaemolyticus and V. harveyi. Extraction of C. racemosa with DES-MG solvent and varying sonication times influences its antioxidant activity and antibacterial properties.

Abstract

The potentially devastating effects of climate change have raised awareness of the need to understand how the biology of wild animals is influenced by extreme-weather events. We investigate how a wild arctic-breeding bird, the Lapland longspur (Calcarius lapponicus), responds to different environmental perturbations and its coping strategies. We explore the transcriptomic response to environmental adversity during the transition from arrival at the breeding grounds to incubation on the Arctic tundra. The effects of an extremely cold spring on arrival and a severe storm during incubation are examined through RNA-seq analysis of pertinent tissues sampled across the breeding cycle. The stress response, circadian rhythms, reproduction and metabolism are all affected. A key protein of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal axis, FKBP5, was significantly up-regulated in hypothalamus. The genome assembly and gene expression profiles provide comprehensive resources for future studies. Our findings on different coping strategies to chronic and acute stressors will contribute to understanding the interplay between changing environments and genomic regulation.

Abstract

Background
Meta-analyses of randomized trials suggest that health checks and health promotion interventions targeting behavior change in primary care do not prevent cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the general population. However, whether such interventions are more effective in high-risk populations, such as people living in low socioeconomic settings, remains unclear, as they have been poorly represented in previous trials. Therefore, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and implementation of systematic screening followed by an individually oriented, lifestyle-focused, health dialogue intervention for prevention of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, as compared to opportunistic screening, in primary care in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas.
Methods
Using an overall pragmatic approach and a cluster-randomized design with two arms, we aim to enroll 3000 participants aged 50–59 years from 30 primary care centers (PCCs) with an above-average level of Care Need Index in Stockholm Region, Sweden. PCCs will be randomized (1:1) either to a health dialogue intervention, which includes inviting enlisted patients to a systematic screening of risk factors followed by an individually oriented lifestyle-focused health dialogue, or to opportunistic screening, which includes screening patients for a smaller set of risk factors during an appointment at their PCC taking place for other reasons. The main outcome will be change in systolic blood pressure during 6- and 12-months follow-up. Additional short-term outcomes will be changes in other biological risk factors, health-related quality-of-life, and lifestyle habits, as well as process and implementation outcomes, and unintended side effects. The long-term effect on type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality will be examined using regional and nationwide registers. Changes in systolic blood pressure and other health outcomes will be analyzed using mixed-effect generalized linear modelling and mixed-effect Cox regression to capture variability between and within PCCs. A health economic evaluation will assess resource use and costs in the short- and long-term.
Discussion
This trial of lifestyle-focused health dialogues and opportunistic screening in primary care in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas in the largest region of Sweden has the potential to yield valuable insights that could support evidence-based policymaking.

TFEN: A two-dimensional feature extraction network for single image super-resolution
Authors: Qi Yaping , Wu Xianming , Su Rui , Chen Lei 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Recently, deep learning techniques and deep neural networks have been extensively studied and widely applied to single-image super-resolution (SISR). Although super-resolution networks have shown their effectiveness, they still face issues of insufficient feature extraction and poor reconstruction performance. To address these issues, we propose a two-dimensional feature extraction network called TFEN. The proposed network consists of three modules: shallow feature extraction module, deep feature extraction module, and image reconstruction module. The shallow feature extraction module utilizes a convolutional layer to extract the primary features of the low-resolution image. The deep feature extraction module utilizes multiple densely connected feature fusion blocks (DCFFB) to extract and fuse the deep spatial features and channel features of the image. Moreover, the proposed model implements a second-order feature fusion mechanism to fully exploit the extracted feature information. The proposed network is quantitatively and qualitatively compared with existing super-resolution networks on five benchmark datasets. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed TFEN is competitive compared to related state-of-the-art algorithms.
