Published: May 2024

Objective
In this study, we aim to evaluate dietary supplement and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use in individuals with depressive symptoms. Furthermore, we conducted a comparative analysis of the usage of these agents among individuals with depressive symptoms, differentiating between those who were using antidepressants and those who were not. Additionally, we compared individuals with depressive symptoms who were not using antidepressants with participants who did not have depressive symptoms as well as individuals with depressive symptoms who were using antidepressants with individuals without depressive symptoms.

Method
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007–2018 data was collected. Depressive symptoms were assessed using patient health questionnaire-9. Dietary supplement and antidepressants use was evaluated using Dietary Supplement Use and Prescription Medications Questionnaires.

Results
31,445 participants, with 2870 (8.05%) having depressive symptoms were included. Participants with depressive symptoms had significantly lower odds of dietary supplement use compared with those without depressive symptoms (aOR = 0.827, 95% CI: 0.700,0.977, p = 0.026). Participants with depressive symptoms who were using antidepressants had significantly higher odds of dietary supplement (aOR = 1.290, 95% CI: 1.038,1.604, p = 0.022) compared with participants with depressive symptoms who were not using antidepressants. Furthermore, Participants with depressive symptoms who weren’t using antidepressants had significantly lower odds of dietary supplement use (aOR = 0.762, 95% CI: 0.632,0.918, p = 0.005) compared with participants without depressive symptoms. In individuals with treated depressive symptoms compared to those without depressive symptoms, CAM use was significantly lower (aOR = 0.763, 95% CI = 0.598,0.973, p = 0.030).

Conclusion
Individuals with depressive symptoms have lower odds of dietary supplement use. Further studies are needed to replicate these findings and examine the underlying mechanisms for this association.
Mundo rural e catolicismo santoral na Pesquisa Participante de Carlos Rodrigues Brandão
Authors: Amaro Flávia Ribeiro , Horta Ana Paula Santos 
Published: May 2024

Este artigo busca recobrir alguns aspectos centrais da pesquisa participante desenvolvida por Carlos Rodrigues Brandão junto a comunidades rurais no interior dos estados de Goiás, São Paulo e Minas Gerais. Trata-se de relacionar a sua biografia a algumas investigações de campo acerca das celebrações do catolicismo popular e das relações de vida e trabalho no mundo rural. A partir de um recorte epistemológico interdisciplinar, entre a geografia, a antropologia e as ciências da religião, busca-se apreender como a relação sociedade-natureza e seus tempos e espaços se alteraram com o processo de urbanização e industrialização que se intensifica a partir da década de 1960 no país e vai se desdobrando até os moldes atuais. A trajetória intelectual de Brandão se inicia nessa época e envolve pesquisas de campo sobre as práticas mítico-rituais do catolicismo santoral, tais como as Folias de Reis e as festas em homenagem a santos de devoção dos negros. Nesse período, Brandão também esteve envolvido com os movimentos sociais voltados às causas dos oprimidos e com as iniciativas de educação popular – sempre privilegiando os sujeitos do campo, do interior, cuja relação com o lugar e com a terra escapam da lógica impositiva ocidentalocêntrica, com seu binômio competência-concorrência, e apresenta uma resistência rústica peculiar cujos rituais festivos se baseiam na lógica da reciprocidade, com seu binômio dar-receber. Para dimensionar essa discussão, foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica.

Em se tratando das qualificações, a partir da realidade prática, os profissionais estão diretamente em contato com o cotidiano do trabalho em saúde. Para o desenvolvimento deste estudo, optou-se pelo delineamento metodológico caracterizado como descritivo, do tipo relato de experiência. Inscreve-se, nesta linha, a pesquisa-ação, visto que associa a pesquisa à ação/prática, com o propósito de descrever a vivência de um residente em saúde coletiva, bem como a atuação em campo, externa ao município de Uberlândia. Durante a experiência, na atenção primária, foi possível compreender o processo de trabalho e identificar o modo como a assistência de enfermagem estava sendo concebida. A experiência nesses campos de práticas proporcionou-me uma vivência dinâmica e desbravadora, pois concedeu-me uma atuação enriquecedora, prazerosa e estimulante. É primordial a construção dos laços afetivos e de confiança, já que inúmeras histórias de vida, individuais, coletivas e familiares são entrelaçadas à nossa prática, haja vista a forma como os atendidos procuram os residentes não só para tratar os agravos contemplados por cada especialidade, mas para buscar conselhos, superar as dificuldades do dia a dia e investir na promoção da saúde.

Published: May 2024

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar como as estratégias de cooperação acadêmica estabelecidas pelas universidades que participam do programa CAPES PrInt podem contribuir para a consolidação da Internacionalização da Educação Superior no Brasil. A análise dos resultados mostra que as redes de cooperação com os países do Norte Global têm maior prevalência; no entanto, já se constata uma nova configuração com ênfase para a regionalização a partir de redes entre países da América Latina, o que favorece a disseminação do conhecimento não hegemônico e reafirma a importância do trabalho coletivo e solidário para o fortalecimento tanto da pesquisa quanto da internacionalização no Brasil, contribuindo, desse modo, para a diminuição da assimetria deste processo no país.
communication écrite à l’université, un enseignement polymorphe à la croisée de la réussite étudiante et de la professionnalisation
Authors: Crétin Raphaëlle , Miguet Mathilde , Pirolli Fabrice 
Published: May 2024

Le paysage de l’enseignement supérieur français connaît depuis quelques années une transformation profonde résultant de la généralisation progressive d’une approche par compétences (APC). Cette transition amène notamment les institutions à réorganiser, transformer et enrichir leurs offres de formation. Des compétences dites « transversales » peuvent ainsi être valorisées au côté des compétences techniques ou disciplinaires. Si certaines de ces compétences étaient déjà travaillées dans les curriculums de formation antérieurs, d’autres bénéficient ainsi d’une reconnaissance et d’une mise en lumière nouvelle. L’enseignement de la communication écrite à destination de l’intégralité des publics de niveau Licence en est un cas particulier. En nous appuyant sur le travail mené dans le cadre d’un projet pédagogique national, dont nous présentons les principaux éléments, nous questionnons, au moyen d’une approche quantitative et qualitative, le caractère polymorphe de ces enseignements qui peinent à lutter contre un présupposé défaut de légitimité, aussi bien auprès des étudiants que des enseignants. Nous insistons particulièrement sur la mise en tension des logiques relatives à l’insertion professionnelle et à la réussite universitaire qui s’expriment à travers les représentations des acteurs tout en apparaissant intrinsèquement liées à la mise en œuvre de l’APC.
Utilizing chitosan and titanium dioxide nanomaterials and their nanocomposites for improving the growth and biochemical responses of Sorghum bicolor (L.)
Authors: Rani Neelam , Kumari Kusum , Hooda Vinita 
Published: May 2024

It is imperative to comprehensively assess the impact of nano-based technologies on plants and ensure their safety before integrating them into agricultural practices. In this context, the present study demonstrates the effect of nanosized chitosan (CS), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and CS/TiO2 nanocomposites (NCPs) on Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, the fifth most important grain crop globally. The nanomaterials were chemically synthesized and characterized in terms of size, surface morphology, structure, functional groups, and hydrodynamic diameter. S. bicolor plants were cultivated in soil spiked with these nanomaterials at two different concentrations (100 and 200 ppm) for up to 30 days. Compared to control plants, all three nanomaterials stimulated the growth of S. bicolor by 3-23% and enhancednutrient uptake. Additionally, they increased the concentrations of chlorophyll (35-94%), starch (13-19%), cellulose (12-56%), and protein (3-119%) in the shoots, while reducing the malondialdehyde (MDA) content. However, elevated MDA levels in the roots of plants treated with TiO2 nanoparticles and CS/TiO2 NCPs indicated that mild oxidative stress had occurred, which the plant managed to counteract by enhancing antioxidant enzyme activities. The findings of this study confirm the safety of using these nanomaterials and provide a foundation for future research aimed at enhancing the growth, adaptability, and yield of S. bicolor.
Wenn Wissen geht …wie lässt sich wertvolles Erfahrungswissen langfristig sichern?
Authors: Reaper Monika 
Published: May 2024

Zusammenfassung
Seit einigen Jahren kämpfen Informationseinrichtungen verstärkt mit dem Ausscheiden von Mitarbeitenden mit sehr viel Erfahrungswissen aus dem Berufsleben. Die Gefahr ist sehr groß, dass diese Berufsexperten ihr Wissen mit in den Ruhestand oder in andere Einrichtungen nehmen, und somit ihr Wissen für die Organisationen unwiderruflich verloren ist. Beschrieben wird die Methode der Wissensstafette, die es ermöglicht, insbesondere Erfahrungswissen effektiv zu externalisieren. Um diese Methode sinnvoll anzuwenden, ist es wichtig den Unterschied zwischen Erfahrungswissen, dem sogenannten implizitem Wissen, und dem expliziten Wissen zu verstehen. Dazu werden die Eigenschaften von implizitem und explizitem Wissen näher beleuchtet. Weiterhin wird eine Abgrenzung zu den Begriffen Information und Wissen vorgenommen, um zu verdeutlichen, dass es hier grundlegende Unterschiede gibt, die einen Einfluss auf eine effektive Implementierung von Wissensmanagement und den Wissenstransfer haben.
Polizeiliche Beschuldigtenvernehmung: Vernehmungspraxis aus der Sicht von Polizeibeamtinnen und -beamten in Deutschland

Published: May 2024

Zusammenfassung
Im Rahmen eines europäischen Forschungsprojekts gaben 321 deutsche Polizeibeamtinnen und -beamte der Schutz- und Kriminalpolizei Auskunft über ihre Perspektive und Praxis bei der Durchführung von Beschuldigtenvernehmungen. Mittels Onlinefragebogen wurden sie zu situativen Aspekten von Vernehmungen sowie personalen Faktoren der Beschuldigten und über sich selbst als Vernehmungsperson befragt. Ein Schwerpunkt der Befragung lag auf der Einschätzung der Anwendungshäufigkeit von Vernehmungstechniken. Insgesamt wurde vor allem der Einsatz informationssammelnder Techniken berichtet. So gaben fast alle Befragten (97,8 %) an, Beschuldigte mit Respekt zu behandeln. Daneben werden aber auch einige geständnisorientierte Techniken verwendet. Des Weiteren zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass die Mehrheit der Befragten (77,3 %) Vernehmungen nicht technisch aufzeichnet, obwohl sie dies eigentlich befürwortet. Beschuldigte werden im Durchschnitt 1–2 mal zur selben Tat vernommen und die Dauer einer Vernehmung beträgt durchschnittlich weniger als 1.5 Stunden. Mehr als die Hälfte der Beschuldigten (54,6 %) macht von ihrem Aussageverweigerungsrecht Gebrauch. Es wurde geschätzt, dass über die Hälfte der Beschuldigten (57,2 %) kein Geständnis ablegt und ein Drittel der Befragten gab an, schon einmal ein falsches Geständnis eines Beschuldigten erlebt zu haben. In der Diskussion wurden die Ergebnisse zu denen anderer europäischer Staaten und der initialen US-amerikanischen Untersuchung in Beziehung gesetzt, wobei nationale Unterschiede deutlich wurden.
Likelihood-based inferences for active-arm trial with counterfactual incidence based on recency assay
Authors: Shao Yongwu , Gao Fei 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Objectives
The approach of using HIV recency assay to estimate the counterfactual incidence rate is being used as the primary efficacy method in a few ongoing large-scale HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) trials, and the current available approach for the inference is based on the Wald method that leverages the asymptotic distribution of the estimators. One issue with the Wald test is that it does not work well when the number of HIV infections are small in the active arm, and it fails to work when there are zero HIV infections. As future long-acting PrEP products are becoming more efficacious, it is very likely that a small or zero number of infections will be observed in HIV prevention trials, especially for subgroup analyses or interim analyses, hence there is a pressing need to develop inference methods that work under such scenarios.

Methods
It is well known that when the sample size is small to moderate, likelihood ratio tests are more reliable than Wald tests in terms of actual error probabilities coming close to matching nominal levels. In this manuscript we derive the likelihood ratio test and the likelihood-based confidence intervals for HIV prevention trials based on recency assays.

Results
Compared with the Wald test, the proposed method works when there are zero infections. Additionally, unlike the Wald test, the p-value from the likelihood ratio test is an increasing function with respect to the number of infections, which is a desirable property as otherwise it will cause confusions.

Conclusions
For HIV PrEP trials based on recency assay, the likelihood-based p-value and confidence interval can be preferable to the Wald based inference methods when the number of HIV infections is expected to be small.
A Novel RSS Fingerprint to Locate User Equipment UE in Remote Area
Authors: Shober Mustafa Abbas , Tawil Prof. Rami 
Published: May 2024

Location determination algorithms are widely used in cellular networks, especially in the long-term evolution (LTE) network, to enable the provision of location-based services (LBS). The increasing global demand for cellular networks has resulted in the creation of new user equipment (UE) positioning systems that align with the network's momentum. Regrettably, all of these technologies are hindered by their incapacity to ascertain the location of the UE in distant regions. This article introduces a novel method utilizing Radio Frequency (RF) fingerprinting to precisely locate UEs in remote areas. The approach entails employing a proposed partitioning model with a high level of precision, incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning AI/ML in its fundamental state to reduce the search area. Furthermore, two algorithms are suggested: The first aims to enhance the efficiency of the battery with limited capacity by decreasing the frequency of measurements transmission. The second utilizes Jaccard similarity and incorporates the prefix filtering technique to determine matches. The algorithm is used to speed up the process of matching the fingerprint recorded in the fingerprint database with the fingerprint captured in real time. The results shows that it can reduces the transmission rate by 77.08% and achieves the lowest error rate of 35.34 m. Additionally, it exhibits a response time of 8 seconds.

Authors: Cobeñas Angel 
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this work is to estimate the seismic source parameters which result in the Arica's earthquake in 1868 (9.0 Mw) and to simulate the coseismic efects. Seismicity, seismic gaps are assessed to identify borders which not allow the earthquakes propagation (10° - 25° S y 62° - 84° W). Besides, the deformation is calculated by Okada deformation in the same region to determine the uplift and subsidence produced by the earthquake at the tsunami generation stage. The TUNAMI-F1 model is used which use the shallow water equations that describe the tsunami propagation. It is important to gather and review some reports, which give in very detail the severe damages in Arica (south of Peru and north of Chile), and New Zealand and Antarctica to correlate what was simulated and reported. As a result, it is obtained that the seismic source had a 12.5 m of slip, 570 km of length and 140 km of wide with angles of rake (90°), strike (309°) and dip (16°); these parametres are introduced in TUNAMI-F1 model which reproduce the tsunami in Arica with the maximun height of wave (16 m) that destroyed the Arica port and its propagation in the Pacific with direction of New Zealand and Antarctica.

Introduction : Horseshoe kidney (HSK) is type of congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tracts (CAKUT), which fusion anomalies happened in early embryonic period partially. One-third of the patients with horseshoe kidney are usually asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally. It can be presented with other renal and extrarenal abnormalities. Here we report a case of horseshoe kidney in infant presenting as recurrent urinary tract infections with severe hydronephrosis.
Case Presentation: A 10-months old boy with multiple congenital anomalies admitted with a history of recurrent urinary tract infection for 3-month and progressive abdominal enlargement. His physical examination revealed an abdominal distention, no-tender, dullness on percussion, a palpable mass on the right flank, and normal bowel sound. The genitalia examination revealed penile-type hypospadia and bilateral undescended testis. Further examination with a contrast computed tomography scan showed HSK with severe right hydronephrosis with thin parenchyma due to UPJO. The heminephrectomy procedure was performed successfully. There is no recurrent UTI and no deterioration in renal function after 3 years of evaluation.
Conclusion: It is important to investigate renal abnormalities in patients with recurrent UTI. HSK is one of the prevalent findings. Therefore, proper diagnostic investigation tailored to the clinical presentation in a stepwise approach aiming for prompt and optimal patient care is essential.

Published: May 2024

Introduction: In patients presenting with severe comorbid conditions and infra-renal aortic occlusion, an extra-anatomic bypass stands as one of the viable revascularization options for limb preservation. Axillofemoral bypass offers a valuable alternative in cases involving hostile abdominal environments or infectious aortic aneurysms. To our knowledge, this is the first report from Indonesia of a case of Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease (AIOD). This case report presents a 39-year-old female patient with complaints of left leg pain persisting for the past seven months.
Case Description: A 39-year-old female patient sought care at our hospital, reporting left leg pain persisting for the past seven months. The pain worsened during physical activity and subsided during rest. She had a history of hypertension for the last eight years but no diabetes or smoking history. The previous hospital had diagnosed her with peripheral arterial disease, prescribing cilostazol and rivaroxaban, which provided only temporary relief. A computed tomography (CT) angiogram revealed occlusion of the abdominal aorta at the level of L2, extending to the left common iliac and right iliac arteries. We elected to perform an axilla-femoral bypass using a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft, which yielded satisfactory results. The patient's progress was monitored for three months postoperatively. This report details the case of a female patient with aortoiliac occlusive disease. Given the absence of insurance coverage for endovascular treatment at our facility, we opted for an axilla-femoral bypass using a PTFE graft, which produced satisfactory outcomes during a three-month follow-up period.
Conclusion: The axillofemoral bypass procedure is fairly safe and easy, especially in patients with a high risk of direct aortofemoral bypass and difficult anatomy. The number of collateral vessels in our patients based on CT scans and endovascular procedures that have not been supported by insurance in our hospital makes us choose the axillofemoral bypass option is the action we decided.

The work was devoted to the study of the recycling of household glass waste by the electric pulse method. Cullet and glass containers were considered as the object of research. Cullet and used glass containers are considered suitable for recycling among solid household waste.
The treatment of solid household waste was carried out with the formation of electrical discharges in an inhomogeneous environment (glass fragments and glass products in an aqueous environment). The experiments were carried out at different values of pulse discharge voltage (from 12 kV to 37 kV), capacitor bank capacity (from 0.4 to 1.2 µF), number of pulse discharges (from 250 to 1,000) and frequency (from 0.3 Hz to 2 Hz). The dependence of the output of the finished product on the parameters of electric pulse discharges has been revealed from the research results. According to the main results of the research work, it was found that as the parameters of electric pulse discharges increase, the yield of the finished product increases. The data made it possible to assign effective parameters for processing cullet and glass products using the electric pulse method. The granulometric composition of the powder material obtained by this method has been determined. A product with a diameter of the largest fraction of 5-8 mm and a diameter of a small fraction of 0.4 mm and 0.7 mm was obtained.
The results of the experiment can be used in research on saving natural resources, energy conservation and solving environmental problems of solid waste recycling. Powdered glass is used as a thermal insulator and decorative material in construction. In addition, crushed glass is used in the production of concrete as an additional raw material.
