Efeito do aleitamento materno para o sistema imunológico: uma prática de incentivo na assistência de enfermagem
Authors: Ribeiro Karina Alves , Rivera Giovane Amado , Dantas Ana Paula , Azevedo Denisy Dantas Melquiades 
Published: June 2024

O aleitamento materno por possuir inúmeros benefícios para a saúde do bebê, também contribui para o desenvolvimento do sistema imunológico, pois é rico em nutrientes, incluindo anticorpos, fatores imunes, enzimas e células brancas do sangue, atuando diretamente na proteção do neonato. Sua ação estimulante atua desencadeando a resposta dos linfócitos T, promovendo diferenciação entre os linfócitos B, que são os principais produtores de imunoglobulinas A (IgA). O proposto no estudo foi analisar os efeitos do aleitamento materno sobre o sistema imunológico do bebê. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de revisão integrativa realizada a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica baseada em obras secundárias que abordaram a temática em questão, publicadas no período de 2018 a 2022, utilizando como bases de dados eletrônicos: SCIELO, BIRENE e Google Scholar. Entre os resultados, analisou-se que o Aleitamento Materno Exclusivo (AME) possui relação benéfica sobre o sistema imunológico da criança, principalmente o colostro, cuja concentrações de anticorpos (IgA, IgM, IgE e IgD) são elevadas, tendo como predominância da IgA. Além disso, o leite materno é rico em fatores de proteção que contribuem para a redução da morbimortalidade infantil, sendo de total importância orientar as nutrizes sobre a importância dos elementos imunológicos presente no leite, para que a mesma mantenha a amamentação de forma exclusiva e natural. Conclui-se que o leite materno é uma fonte natural e que precisa ser mais enfatizada nas ações de saúde durante a assistência ao pré-natal, principalmente sobre os benefícios ao sistema imunológico do bebê nos seis primeiros meses de vida.

Authors: Soruco Campero María René 
Published: June 2024

A 13 años de la constitucionalización del modelo autonómico en Bolivia, es necesario profundizar el análisis respecto al modelo de autonomía regional, su desarrollo asimétrico dentro de un diseño constitucional y legal pensado para diferenciarse del resto de niveles de gobierno, sobre el cual habrá que evaluar si las características propias constituyen en los mecanismos propicios para construir una mejor calidad de vida para sus habitantes, su vinculatoriedad con los otros niveles de gobierno y la unidad nacional. El modelo de autonomía menos estudiado, es el de la Autonomía Regional, ello debido a que el país únicamente cuenta con la Autonomía Regional del Gran Chaco Tarijeño y no existe ningún otro proceso en construcción; pero además es el nivel de gobierno con menos desarrollo normativo constitucional, legal y jurisprudencial. Tampoco existe un estudio profundo respecto a su relacionamiento con el nivel departamental, investigación que necesita ser abordada para comprender la situación actual y la elaboración de una propuesta a futuro.

Women Entrepreneurship and Poverty Alleviation among Low income Families in Developing Societies: An Empirical Evidence from Nigeria
Authors: Akpor-Robaro Masoje O. M. , Afolabi Taofeek S. 
Published: June 2024

The study investigated the relationship between women entrepreneurship and poverty alleviation among low income families in developing societies, and evaluated the impact of women entrepreneurship on poverty alleviation using Nigeria as reference. A survey design was employed with a questionnaire instrument administered to 250 women who are business owners in Lagos,using a simple random sampling technique. The response data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential analytical methods. The descriptive analysis showed that women take up entrepreneurship for the purpose of supporting their spouses to fight against poverty. A multivariate Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) was used for the inferential analysis and to specify the relationships among the construct variables in the study. The bootstrapping technique of the PLS-SEM was used to estimate the parameters in the model, with the aid of the Smart-3 software. The result of the factor loadings, reliability test, convergent and discriminant validity revealed that the construct variables are fit for the PLS-SEM. The path analysis revealed that wife’s income (women entrepreneurship) has significant positive relationship with provision of health care, education, clothing and housing, and hence significantly positively impact on poverty alleviation in these areas of family needs. But in contrast, women entrepreneurship does not impact significantly on food. In general, the study concludes that women entrepreneurship is a key driver of poverty reduction among low income families in Nigeria. Therefore, it is recommended that government and other stakeholders should make deliberate efforts to promote women entrepreneurship by providing financial support and other facilities to women entrepreneurs.

Authors: Guia Jether V. , Juliane Shaira Mae C. , Canoy Fe T. 
Published: June 2024

This study aimed to determine the relationship between reading motivation and reading comprehension among learners from one of the secondary schools in Malita, Davao Occidental. This quantitative study utilizes a descriptive-correlational design to describe the relationship between reading motivation and reading comprehension. The study's respondents are the 251 senior high school learners enrolled in the school year 2022-2023. According to the findings of this study, all domains of reading motivation, particularly grade-compliance, social, and curiosity, are described as highly motivated. Meanwhile, involvement, recognition, and efficacy are described as "Motivated." Competition and work avoidance are described as "Moderately motivated." This indicates that the respondents' overall level of reading motivation is "motivated," meaning they have less interest in reading. Furthermore, the overall reading comprehension level is interpreted as moderate, implying that the learners understand the text and can respond accurately to some questions based on the text. In conclusion, learners' reading motivation has no significant correlation to reading comprehension. As a result, it is recommended that further studies focusing on other factors that impact the learners' reading comprehension be conducted.

Background: Regular blood donation which decreases blood iron levels may protect against cardiovascular diseases (CVD). This protection against atherosclerosis can be assessed by Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT) a biomarker for atherosclerosis. This study sought to determine and compare the mean and maximum CIMT, the serum level of iron and plaque prevalence among regular and first-time blood donors in Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Lagos.
Methods: A comparative, cross-sectional study involving 214 randomly-selected blood donors (107 regular and first-time blood donors each). Using a structured proforma, sociodemographic, anthropometric, radiological and laboratory data were collected from blood donors in the two groups. high frequency linear probe was used to assess CIMT, and presence of plaque in both extra-cranial carotid arteries. CIMT was the distance between the intima–blood interface and the adventitia–media junction and iron study included serum total iron, ferritin, transferrin and total iron binding capacity. Comparison between the study groups was done by Chi-square test and Student t-test/Mann-Whitney U-test for categorical and continuous variables respectively. Level of significance was set at p<0.05.
Results: The mean and maximum CIMT of both carotid arteries in regular blood donors (mean right CIMT-0.49+/-0.11mm, maximum right CIMT-0.58+/-0.14mm, mean left CIMT-0.51+/-0.16mm, maximum left CIMT-0.60+/-0.27mm) were significantly(p<0.05) lower than those of the first-time blood donors(Mean right CIMT-0.79+/-0.17mm, maximum right CIMT-0.93+/-0.25mm, mean left CIMT-0.83+/-0.31mm, maximum left CIMT-0.96+/-0.27mm). Median serum iron(10.5µmol/L; IQR:8.8-13.5µmol/L), ferritin(30.50µg/ml; IQR:16.2-600µg/ml) and transferrin(2.1g/L;IQR:0.9-2.3g/L) in regular blood donors were significantly lower(p<0.05) than serum iron (16.1µmol/L; IQR:13.7-18.6µmol/L), ferritin(158.0µg/ml; IQR:115-365.2µg/ml) and transferrin(2.3g/L; IQR:2.1-2.4g/L) in first-time donors. Plaque prevalence was significantly higher (ꭓ2=5.81; p – 0.016) in first-time (11.2%) than regular (2.8%) donors.
Conclusion: Regular blood donation significantly lower CIMT values, and iron parameters. Regular blood donation may offer protection against atherosclerosis.

Aims: Terminalia superba Engl. & Diels, also known as “Mbonga”, is a medicinal plant used by the “Baka” Pygmies of Cameroon for the management of male infertility. Many studies have demonstrated its anti-inflammatory, antiulcerative, antidiabetic and antioxidant properties. No scientific evidence to date has been provided on this treatment. Aluminium chloride is an endocrine disruptor that can induce male infertility through various mechanisms. The present study was designed to assess the protective effect of the bark-aqueous extract of Terminalia superba against aluminium chloride-induced reproductive toxicity in male rats.
Study Design: Experimental design.
Place and Duration of Study: Laboratory of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Faculty of Science, University of Yaoundé I, between November 2021 and October 2022.
Methodology: Thirty-five Wistar albino rats were divided into groups of 5 animals each including untreated group. After induction of reprotoxicity by an intraperitoneal administration of aluminum chloride (20 mg/kg, body weight) for 56 days, 20 rats were subsequently orally treated for 56 days with the bark-aqueous extract at doses of 43 and 86 mg/kg as well as a co-administration of vitamin E (100 mg/kg) and zinc (50 mg/kg). The first group served as the normal control group and the last groups received only the extract (43 and 86 mg/kg). On the last day, sexual behaviour tests were performed, then rats were killed the next day. Assessment of biochemical markers of oxidative stress, histopathological studies and sperm analysis were performed.
Results: Aluminium chloride induced significant decreases (P <0.05) in sperm quality, sexual performance of the male rats, catalase activity and glutathione levels. The aqueous extract of Terminalia superba reversed the toxic effects of aluminium chloride by improving the sexual behaviour of male rats and increasing the level of reduced glutathione as well as the catalase activity in their testis and epididymis.
Conclusion: Terminalia superba has an enhancing effect against aluminium chloride-induced toxicity in male rats, and could therefore be an alternative to solve reprotoxicity problems.
Analysis of natural convection in a nanofluid‐filled triangular enclosure induced by cold and hot sources on the walls using stabilised MLPG method
Authors: Arefmanesh Ali , Nikfar Mehdi 
Published: January 2013

AbstractA stabilised meshless local Petrov–Galerkin (MLPG) method with unity as the test function is extended to simulate the buoyancy‐driven fluid flow and heat transfer in a right‐angled, triangular enclosure filled with a nanofluid composed of a mixture of Al2O3 spherical nanoparticles in water. A cold source with a constant temperature Tc and a hot source with a constant temperature Th are placed along the left and bottom walls of the cavity, respectively, with a differential temperature difference between Tc and Th so that Th > Tc. The simulations performed in this study are based on the stream function–vorticity formulation. The moving least‐squares interpolations of the field variables are employed in these MLPG numerical calculations. A streamline upwind technique is employed to obtain stable solutions for high Rayleigh numbers. A parametric study is performed, and the effects of the Rayleigh number, the locations of the cold and hot sources on the respective cavity walls, and the volume fraction of the nanoparticles on the fluid flow and heat transfer inside the cavity are investigated. The results show that the average Nusselt number is generally an increasing function of the volume fraction of the nanoparticles. Moreover, it is concluded from the results that the locations of the cold and hot sources on the respective cavity walls have a significant effect on the flow and temperature fields inside the enclosure. In general, the maximum average Nusselt number occurs when the centres of the cold and hot sources are at Ys = 0.167 and Xs = 0.167, respectively, while the average Nusselt number is minimum for Ys = 0.833 and Xs = 0.833.
Accuracy of relativistic energy-consistent pseudopotentials for superheavy elements 111–118: Molecular calibration calculations
Authors: Hangele Tim , Dolg Michael 
Published: January 2013

Relativistic energy-consistent pseudopotentials modelling the Dirac-Coulomb-Breit Hamiltonian with a finite nucleus model for the superheavy elements with nuclear charges 111–118 were calibrated in atomic and molecular calculations against fully relativistic all-electron reference data. Various choices for the adjustment of the f-potentials were investigated and an improved parametrization is recommended. Using the resulting pseudopotentials relativistic all-electron reference data can be reproduced at the self-consistent field level with average absolute (relative) errors of 0.0030 Å (0.15%) for bond lengths and 2.79 N m−1 (1.26%) for force constants for 24 diatomic test molecules, i.e., neutral or singly charged monohydrides, monofluorides, and monochlorides with closed-shell electronic structure. At the second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory level the corresponding average deviations are 0.0033 Å (0.15%) for bond lengths and 2.86 N m−1 (1.40%) for force constants. Corresponding improved f-potentials were also derived for the pseudopotentials modelling in addition the leading contributions from quantum electrodynamics.

Published: January 2013

Summary
Wnt pathways play an important role in pre-implantation embryo development, blastocyst implantation, and post-implantation uterine decidualisation. However, little is known about the potential role that Wnt signaling plays in patients with unexplained recurrent spontaneous miscarriage (URSM), and no single biomarker with a high predictive value of maternally caused URSM has been identified. We aim to study the molecular mechanisms by which the Wnt pathway controls the progression of early pregnancy by investigating the expression of Dickkopf-1 (DKK1), one of the Wnt agonists, in URSM patients. Plasma and fresh decidual tissues samples were collected from 59 subjects (29 patients with URSM and 30 patients with normal, early pregnancy). Time-resolved immunofluorometric assay system and quantitative real-time RT-PCR were used to determine the serum levels of DKK1 and DKK1 mRNA in the deciduas, respectively. Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to measure DKK1 protein levels in the deciduas. Serum DKK1 levels were significantly higher in URSM patients compared to the control group (P &lt; 0·001); the expression of DKK1 mRNA and protein in URSM patients were higher relative to healthy controls (P = 0·013). Glandular epithelium from decidual tissues demonstrated cytoplasmic signals for DKK1 in URSM patients, and DKK1 did not stain in healthy controls. Furthermore, serum DKK1 levels significantly correlated with those in the decidual tissues. Our study suggests that DKK1 may be a valuable biomarker of URSM; it can be reliably and conveniently detected in serum, thus obviating the need for decidual tissue analysis.
