O objetivo do estudo foi comparar o enfrentamento emocional, racional, espiritual ou de busca por
suporte social dos portadores de câncer nas diferentes fases de estadiamento entre adultos e idosos.
Tratou-se de um estudo transversal, exploratório de abordagem quantitativa. Os dados foram coletados
utilizando a Escala Modo de Enfrentamento de Problemas, com 182 participantes. O escore dos pacientes
mais jovens foi superior, tanto para o foco no problema (p=0,031), quanto para a busca por suporte
social (p=0,011). No que se refere à busca por suporte social, a média dos escores na doença localizada
foi inferior à média dos escores na ausência de estadiamento (pacientes que há vários anos estavam
sem nova progressão da doença ou os que já haviam terminado o tratamento) (p=0,039). Os achados
evidenciaram a importância do conhecimento das estratégias de enfrentamento dos portadores de
câncer e que a resposta aos estressores depende do contexto individual, coletivo e institucional onde os
pacientes estão inseridos.

Published: November 2023

Tuberculosis is a disease caused by infection with the mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Tuberculosis attack organ besides the lung, such as the pleura, lining of the brain, lining of the heart, lymph gland, bones, joint, skin, intestines, kidney, urinary tract, and genital. This disease is found in densely populated settlements with poor sanitation, lack of ventilation and sunlight and lack of rest. Moreover, the factors that will be analyzed in this research are Population Density (X1), Number of HIV/AIDS (X2), number of toddlers who experience nutrition (X3), Number of toddlers who experience BCG immunization (X4), number of toddlers who get exclusive breastfeeding (X5), Total families with PHBS (X6), number of residents with healthy homes (X7), number of families with clean water facilities (X8), number of families with ownership of latrine sanitation (X9), number of families with have landfills (X10), number of families have management waste place (X11), number of elementary education facilities (X12), Number of junior school education facilities (X13), Number of senior school education facilities (X14), Number of institutions fostered by neighborhood health (X15), Number of Posyandu (X16), Number Life Expectancy (X17), Literacy Rate (X18), Human Development Index (X19), Number of Tuberculosis sufferers (X20). This research aims to analyze what variables influence each other on the prevalence rate of tuberculosis in the city of Surabaya. The method used in this research is a multivariate analysis using factor analysis, cluster analysis, biplot analysis and discriminant analysis. This discriminant analysis determines accuracy by calculating the value (1-APER). The resulting research the Number of HIV/AIDS, number of residents with healthy homes, and Number of families with ownership of Sanitation (latrine, landfills, waste management) have a high correlation with the spread of tuberculosis in Surabaya. Meanwhile, areas with a high rate of tuberculosis are Tambaksari, Wonokromo, Sawahan, and Semampir. The classification analysis accuracy level was 90.32% and the accuracy of the resulting model or discriminant function was very high. So that discriminant analysis can be used for predicting the accuracy of tuberculosis prevalence rates.

This study is aimed to classify the brain activity of adolescents associated with audio stimuli; murottal Al-Quran and classical music. The raw data were filtered using Independent Component Analisys (ICA) and followed by band-pass filter in Python on the Google Colab Extraction was processed with Power Spectral Density (PSD) and the Random Forest Method in Weka Machine Learning was used for classification. The research results showed the same results between the two types of stimulation, namely the order of brain waves from highest to lowest were delta, alpha, theta and beta. The average brain waves of teenagers when given murottal al-Quran stimulation were 45.32% delta, 31.60% alpha, 17.02 theta and 6.05% beta. Meanwhile, the average brain waves of teenagers when given classical music stimulation were 46.54% delta, 28.64% alpha, 19.21% theta and 5.50% beta. Classification is obtained with the best value that frequently appears (mode) from the prediction results for each sample using random forest methods. The accuracy, precision, and recall of classifying adolescent brain waves when given murottal and classical music stimuli using the Random Forest method with cross-validation technique (optimum at k-fold=5) were 65.38%, 76.92%, and 70.00%, respectively. The results of this study show that stimulation using murottal al-Quran and classical music effectively improves adolescent relaxation conditions.
Recurrent Session Approach to Generative Association Rule based Recommendation
Authors: Armanda Tubagus Arief , Wardhani Ire Puspa , Akhriza Tubagus M. , Admira Tubagus M. Adrie 
Published: November 2023

This article introduces a generative association rule (AR)-based recommendation system (RS) using a recurrent neural network approach implemented when a user searches for an item in a browsing session. It is proposed to overcome the limitations of the traditional AR-based RS which implements query-based sessions that are not adaptive to input series, thus failing to generate recommendations. The dataset used is accurate retail transaction data from online stores in Europe. The contribution of the proposed method is a next-item prediction model using LSTM, but what is trained to develop the model is an associative rule string, not a string of items in a purchase transaction. The proposed model predicts the next item generatively, while the traditional method discriminatively. As a result, for an array of items that the user has viewed in a browsing session, the model can always recommend the following items when traditional methods cannot. In addition, the results of user-centered validation of several metrics show that although the level of accuracy (similarity) of recommended products and products seen by users is only 20%, other metrics reach above 70%, such as novelty, diversity, attractiveness and enjoyability.
COVID-19 infection-associated coagulopathy and its association with adverse outcomes in Indian gravidas: a prospective analysis
Authors: Singh Soumya P. , Singh Preeti , Gaonkar Rohini 
Published: November 2023

Background: Objective of the study was the determination of trends of coagulation parameters and association between pregnant women with COVID-19 infection with adverse outcomes.
Methods: Design of the study was a prospective observational study. The study was conducted at the Maulana Azad Medical College and associated Lok Nayak Hospital, New Delhi. A total of 142 pregnant women with confirmed COVID-19 infection were recruited and studied prospectively between May 2020 and April 2021. Trends of coagulation parameters were compared in groups divided based on the adverse outcomes. 11 patients had adverse outcomes which included ICU admission or mortality. There were no adverse outcomes in the remaining 131 patients.
Results: The comparison of trends of coagulation parameters in both groups was studied. D-dimer and INR values were significantly higher, while fibrinogen level was significantly lower in COVID-19 subjects with adverse maternal outcomes than in those in which adverse maternal outcomes were not present (p<0.05). No significant difference was observed in other coagulation parameters like APTT.
Conclusions: Universal screening of coagulation parameters of all pregnant women with COVID-19 can be considered because of the association of adverse maternal outcomes with deranged D dimer and fibrinogen in our study.

Paracoccidioidomycosis is an endemic systemic mycosis that predominates in southern Mexico, parts of Central America, and South America. It is caused by a dimorphic fungus and is generally acquired through the lungs, from where it disseminates. Paracoccidioidomycosis has different clinical manifestations that require differentiation with tuberculosis, Hodgkin disease, several systemic and subcutaneous mycoses, and squamous cell carcinoma. Radiologic abnormalities in the lung fields may be seen. Mucous membrane lesions occasionally occur. The diagnosis is confirmed by finding yeast-like elements of P. brasiliensis in microscopic examinations of wet preparations of specimens submitted for mycologic studies. The occurrence of malnutrition and particularly beri beri conditions concomitant with paracoccidioidomycosis is uncommon. We report a case of a patient of low socio-economic status, without permanent employment , possibly carrying out work as a bricklayer or working on small farms during the harvest season, with a five-year history of oral cavity lesions, which resulted in difficulty eating and thus weight loss. A diagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis was made through direct microscopy examination, culture and multisystem involvement was confirmed through imaging tests, including dilatation and dysfunction of the right ventricle. The hypothesis of Cardiac Beri-Beri related to thiamine deficiency was raised. The treatment was carried out with thiamine supplementation and liposomal amphotericin B, with excellent clinical evolution of the patient. This case highlights the importance of early recognition of paracoccidioidomycosis in its early stages and the adoption of proactive measures in the search for possible organic complications caused by nutritional deficiencies in prolonged cases.

Published: November 2023

Pancreatic cancer (PC) represents a challenging manifestation of a gastrointestinal tumour, which poses a formidable impediment for healthcare professionals and patients alike. The prognosis for this condition is often discouraging, particularly following a pancreatectomy, which has a poor five-year survival rate. The sole practical cure for PC is surgical resection, despite the negative outcomes. The standard surgical procedure for pancreatic head cancer is pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Although PD has been associated with higher morbidity and mortality rates, recent advancements have reduced the risks associated with this operation. When it comes to PC surgery, one promising approach is the resection of the portal vein. This technique has been shown to improve the ability to remove the cancerous tissue (resectability) and to remove it completely (radicality). This study was carried out at the department of pancreatology hepatology and transplantation of organs and tissues, Grodno regional clinical hospital in Grodno, Belarus. Our team treated a patient with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, who underwent a pancreaticoduodenal resection and marginal resection of the portal vein as part of their treatment plan. PD with marginal resection of the portal vein reduces risks and improves patient outcomes, as confirmed by CT and ultrasound data. Further research is needed to expand its efficacy and improve patients' recovery and quality of life post-surgery.

Authors: Correia Carlos Horácio , Reis Maria da Conceição dos 
Published: November 2023

O objetivo do texto é discutir o processo de resistência e afirmação de outras formas de produção de conhecimento diante da imposição hegemônica da epistemologia ocidental, especificamente em sociedades africanas. A pesquisa justifica-se pela necessidade de aprofundarmos os fundamentos teóricos da afrocentricidade em articulação com outras epistemologias antirracistas enquanto alternativas ao pensamento hegemônico estrutural. O estudo baseou-se na metodologia da pesquisa exploratória, de fontes bibliográficas atreladas ao paradigma teórico da afrocentricidade defendida por Molefi Asante (2014), Ama Mazama (2009) e as suas principais categorias conceituais de Agência, Centralidade/Marginalidade e Conscientização, dialogadas com a pedagogia libertadora de Paulo Freire (2011) e Carlos Brandão e Raiane Assumpção (2009), junto ao pensamento decolonial de Anibal Quijano (1992) e Walter Mignolo (2005). Os resultados do estudo sugerem uma educação afrocentrada adequada à realidade dos africanos e das africanas, em harmonia com outras formas de produção de conhecimento, pautada pela diversidade epistêmica trabalhada na perspectiva de Ramón Grosfoguel (2016), Santos e Meneses (2010), opondo-se à contra-hegemonia ocidental e aos seus modelos monótonos e universais.
Assam Flood and Financial Loss in Agricultural Production: A Study on Mitigation Strategy Adopted by the Farmers of Dhemaji District
Authors: Borah Sangita , Buragohain Arpan 
Published: November 2023

Background: Assam is considered as a flood prone state, as this natural disaster creates devastating situation almost every year. The study was conducted in Dhemaji district of Assam which is in the list of highly flood hazard index. The district was selected to know the impact of flood on financial loss for agricultural production and to study the mitigation strategy adopted by the flood affected farmers in the district. Methods: For that a multistage random sampling technique was adopted to select flood affected farmers from the district. Financial loss for agricultural production due to flood was estimated by calculating financial loss for crop loss, agricultural asset loss and livestock loss for the study area. Flood situation and Non flood situation was compared while going for calculation of financial loss for crop due to flood. Henry Garret ranking technique was adopted to rank the problems face by the farmers. Result: The result reflected that net return from crop production was recorded to be less (Group I 1032.44Rs/ha and Group II 3830.99 Rs/ha) in flood situation than the non-flood situation (Group I 7051.30 Rs/ha and Group II 8330.08 Rs/ha).Total financial loss due to crop loss, asset loss and livestock loss was found to be high for size group II farmers (Rs 39094.33) then the size group I (Rs 36643.40). Majority of the respondents (79.17 per cent) preferred migration as the best coping mechanism to protect them from flood loss.
Childhood Overweight and Obesity in Turkey: A Developmental Origins of Health and Disease Perspective
Authors: AKTAR Rengin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Objective: Childhood overweight and obesity have seen a dramatic increase in Turkey and other middle-income countries. The goal of this study is to understand the role of adverse exposures during pregnancy and infancy on young children’s risk of developing overweight and obesity.
Methods: Study uses four cross-sections of Turkish Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) between 1993 and 2008. Multilevel logistic modeling with random intercepts is applied to 5872 children between the ages of 2 and 5 in order to assess the main determinants of overweight and obesity.
Results: Findings show that maternal obesity, fetal overnutrition, and lack of infant breastfeeding are significant determinants of children’s risk of overweight and obesity, and may in fact be more important than the typical socio-economic determinants of child health, such as maternal education and household wealth. Conclusion: Public health efforts to prevent childhood overweight and obesity would be incomplete without considerations of maternal health and nutrition at the time of conception and during pregnancy, and of proper infant nutrition.
Early Results of the Sandwich Technique Using Cyanoacrylate Glue and Polidocanol Foam Sclerotherapy for the Treatment of Varicose Veins
Authors: Simka Marian , Skuła Marcin 
Published: November 2023

Background. This is a retrospective analysis of the results of treatment for varicose veins using the sandwich technique with cyanoacrylate glue and foam sclerotherapy. This novel method al-lows for substantial reduction of amount of glue needed for the vein closure, and minimizes the risk of granuloma formation and allergic reaction related to the epifascial administration of cy-anoacrylate.
Methods: This technique was used in 60 patients, 77 intrafascial veins were managed. Vein closures were performed with Venex cyanoacrylate glue and 1-3% polidocanol foam. All proce-dures were done under ultrasonographic control, though direct percutaneous punctures of target veins. Follow-up were scheduled 1-3 week after the procedure. If revealed, unclosed segments of the target veins were obliterated at these follow-up visits, with glue and/or sclerotherapy.
Results. There were no serious adverse events intra- or postprocedurally. The technical success rate was 100%. The primary success rate at 1-3 week follow-up was 84.4%. The primary assisted success rate, after additional closures, was 100%.
Conclusions. We demonstrated that the treatment for varicose veins, using sandwich tech-nique, which combines cyanoacrylate glue and foam sclerotherapy, can be safe and efficient.
STROMATOPOROID-ECHINODERM ECOLOGICAL SUCCESSIONS IN THE LATE ORDOVICIAN (KATIAN): REEF FACIES AND THE ROLE OF KEY BIOTA IN REEF ARCHITECTURE

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Ecologically complex buildups within the Kimmswick Limestone of the Galena Group (Upper Ordovician, Katian) near St. Louis, Missouri, display unique communities of stromatoporoids, encrusting cyathocystid and edrioblastoid edrioasteroids, camerate and other crinoids, paracrinoids, bryozoans, tabulate, and rugose corals. Substrate stabilization and vertical ecological successions were influenced by labechiid stromatoporoids that transitioned from laminar to domal/pillar morphologies from the base of the reef to its terminus. Cyathocystid edrioasteroids occurred in dense aggregations within cryptic cavities, often inverted in life orientation. Surrounding facies consisted of bryozoan and chert-rich wackestones-packstones, cross-bedded abraded echinoderm grainstones, gastropod-bivalve grainstones, and echinoderm-bryozoan grainstone/rudstones, while reefal facies comprised stromatoporoid-echinoderm boundstones, and stromatoporoid-cyathocystid framestones. Reef geometry and facies distribution reflected both allogenic and autogenic controls fundamental to the initialization and stabilization of the Shady Valley reefs. Four distinct successional series, from initial stabilization of important binders to colonization and diversification of stemmed echinoderm groups and subsequent domination of labechiid stromatoporoid framebuilders, formed the vertical profile of the reefs. Laminar, domal and irregular frame-building stromatoporoids acted as sediment stabilizers and formed ideal substrates for encrusting hardground fauna, supporting the development of cryptic habitats exploited by diverse echinoderms at the acme of reef diversification. Similar Katian hardground ecological successions occur in coeval reefs elsewhere in North America, Europe, Baltica, and South China. However, the scale of the reef architecture, development of complete ecological successions, and the diversity and multiple ecological roles of labechiid stromatoporoids and echinoderms in the Kimmswick Limestone sets it apart.
