Prescription of therapeutic exercise for chronic low back pain management: a narrative review
Authors: Ganesh G. Shankar , Khan Abdur Raheem , Das Sakti , Khan Ashfaque 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background
The results of recent systematic reviews have concluded that most exercise types are more effective than minimal treatment for improving outcomes in the management of non-specific chronic low back pain. However, exercise prescriptions are criticised for being prescribed without a clear rationale and with a high level of uncertainty. The preferred mode of exercise in this population is not outlined in clinical guidelines. The objective of this review is to describe the indications and dosimetry for the most common exercise interventions prescribed.

Methods
Literature was sourced from searches of MEDLINE, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, and PEDro databases until October 2021 using descriptors related to pain, exercise, and prescription, totaling 33 articles that fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The first author independently selected studies and extracted data on study characteristics of interest. Any doubts were resolved through discussion with the other reviewers.

Results
The results of the review showed that a baseline assessment comprising the patient’s pain, thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours concerning physical activity or exercises may be undertaken, and specific exercises may be prescribed based on the indication to reduce pain, allay fear, or re-educate neuromotor control.

Conclusion
Based on the heterogeneity in the understanding, administration, and progression of exercises and the sub-optimal or poor reporting of exercise prescriptions or dosages and outcomes reported, we conclude that it may not be possible to synthesise any evidence to inform precision exercise prescription for CLBP. Future studies should be of higher quality for the development of effective exercise programmes.
Burning Desires: Zanzibari Women in the Throes of Concubinage and Gunpoint Matrimony
Authors: Abusharaf R. M. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This article examines the two instances of concubinage (suria) during the Omani rule of Zanzibar and the Ndoa Za Karume Forced Marriage Act that followed the revolution in 1964 on the island. Both practices can be seen as laboratories in which the complexities of sex and power were in full display. Throughout, the author draws inspiration from anthropologist Tim Ingold's theory of human correspondence alongside valuable insights from the intersection of black feminist thought and humanistic anthropology to deepen our understanding of both concubinage and forced marriage as forms of sexual bondage occurring within particular political circumstances and historical realities. For indeed, both objectifying practices assumed a variety of meanings in colonial and postrevolutionary Zanzibar. When conjugating suria and ndoa within the complex grammar of race, class, and gender, we also often encounter inconsistencies inherent in fraught human relationships and furthered by the marked fluidities and slippages of both practices and their varying connotative, pragmatic, and ideational significances. Was the Ndoa za Karume an act of retribution against concubinage? Or was it a contribution to a nation-building project in a society adrift? To consider these questions, the article draws on a variety of ethnographic insights gathered in Zanzibar and Oman between 2016 and 2019 and a constellation of texts, including archives, local historiographies, a collection of Swahili statements for and against ndoa possessed by an interlocutor, memoirs, and other field notes gathered in 2020–21. The article explores what was at stake in these two parallel modes of exploiting women's bodies, arguing that they cannot be understood in isolation from their “correspondences” and the emotionality manifested in both gendered social dramas.

REFLEXÕES SOBRE OS POSSÍVEIS IMPACTOS DA VIOLÊNCIA NAS ESCOLAS: percepções docentes sobre as causas, efeitos e prevenção
Authors: SILVA GILBERTO SOUSA , BARBOSA ERIOSVALDO LIMA , Seabra dos Santos André Felipe 
Published: November 2023

O artigo apresenta reflexões acerca do aumento dos índices de violência nas escolas e busca dialogar sobre a percepção docente sobre as causas, efeitos e prevenção no intuito de ampliar pesquisas acadêmicas sobre este fenômeno que assola e amedronta gestores, professores, alunos e familiares na contemporaneidade. A pesquisa teve como embrião os diálogos realizados a partir da disciplina de seminário de pesquisa do programa de pós-graduação em Sociologia da Universidade Federal do Piauí, visto que no ano de 2023 os índices de violência nas escolas foram alarmantes, o que desencadeou a necessidade da realização do artigo. Objetivou-se identificar os possíveis impactos das violências reproduzidas em ambiente escolar. Além de reunir informações sobre as percepções docentes sobre as causas, efeitos e prevenção das violências em ambiente escolar. Os caminhos teóricos metodológicos percorridos pelo artigo, estão embasados em investigações bibliográficas por intermédio da literatura já produzida. Pode-se dizer ainda que em linhas gerais este processo deu-se pela busca de obras atualizadas e que apresentassem um alimento ao problema levantado por este artigo. Assim, buscou-se priorizar a inclusão de obras recentes, escolhidas por sua qualidade, relevância e problematização coerente com este artigo. Este caracteriza-se de um estudo qualitativo e quantitativo pelo fato de além de utilizar-se da literatura já produzida, aplicar uma pesquisa de campo por intermédio da ferramenta Google forms na qual foi divulgada e posteriormente respondida por seis professores e uma gestora de uma escola pública estadual da cidade de Pedreiras-MA, localizada à 283 km da capital São Luís do Maranhão. A partir dos resultados alcançados é possível refletir sobre a percepção dos profissionais da educação quanto à problemática da violência, que propaga o medo entre alunos, professores e afeta a qualidade do processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Conclui-se que é necessário atividades preventivas; rodas de conversa; campanhas; palestras; aproximação da escola às famílias e o estabelecimento de um diálogo aberto entre professores, alunos e familiares. Essas ações podem facilitar o trabalho desenvolvido pela escola e manter um ambiente sadio e frutífero para boas relações entre os atores que constituem o ambiente escolar e o processo de combate à violência escolar.

Authors: Maia Fernando Eduardo , Conceição Michele Ramos da Silva , Junior Niltom Vieira 
Published: November 2023

O artigo aborda questões relativas à educação à Distância (EaD) no IFMG. Modalidade em consonância com transformações tecnológicas e sociais das últimas décadas. O objetivo foi identificar o processo histórico, as teorias e as práticas para o aprendizado de adultos na EaD e o benefício social e econômico alcançado. Observando na pesquisa que a finalidade da criação da EaD foi atender a demanda profissional de cada época. Porém, seus objetivos se modificaram de acordo com transformações sociais, econômicas e políticas ocorridas em cada tempo e espaço. No Brasil, a partir de década de 1990, a preocupação era a formação profissional acrescida de educação democrática que tivesse um viés social. Ao ofertar EaD aos excluídos da educação tradicional, pretendeu-se promover a justiça social, ao mesmo tempo em que se possibilitou atender as demandas do mercado. Foi utilizada a Plataforma Nilo Peçanha nessa pesquisa. O número de inscritos elucida o tamanho da procura por vagas, com a concorrência de três estudantes por vaga, e maior procura da faixa etária compreendida entre 35 e 39 anos. A taxa de evasão tem reduzido, mas ainda representa cenário desafiador, visto que suas motivações ainda são desconhecidas, dificultando a formulação efetiva de estratégias para o controle de evasão. E, finalmente, o indicador de eficiência acadêmica mostrou que o IFMG contribui positivamente com os índices que avaliam a finalização dos cursos por parte dos estudantes.

Published: November 2023

We report a 2-µm all-fiber nonlinear pulse compressor based on a tapered Pb-silicate photonic crystal fiber (PCF), which is capable of achieving large compression with low pedestal energy. A tapered Pb-silicate photonic crystal fiber with increased nonlinear coefficients is proposed for achieving self-similar pulse compression (SSPC) at 2 µm. The dynamic evolution of the fundamental order soliton is numerically analyzed based on the designed tapered fiber. After pulse compression in a tapered fiber with a length of 2.2 m, an initial 1.76 ps pulse can be compressed to 88 fs, increasing the peak power from 4.4 to 86 W with a compression factor of 20 and a quality factor of 98%. The results reveal that exponential variation yields superior compression performance and provides a promising solution for generating high-power femtosecond pulses at 2 µm.
Axial shift mapping: a self-referencing test for measuring the axial figure of near-cylindrical surfaces
Authors: Wisniewski Hayden J. , Heilmann Ralf K. , Schattenburg Mark L. , Chalifoux Brandon D. 
Published: November 2023

Lateral shearing self-referencing interferometry methods shift the
surface under test between measurements to separate its topography
from that of the reference surface. However, rigid body errors occur
during shifting, creating an ambiguity in the quadratic term of the
extracted surfaces. We present axial shift mapping, a lateral shearing
self-referencing interferometry method for cylinders, in which the
quadratic ambiguity is resolved by measuring the rigid body errors
using known artifact mirrors residing in the interferometer’s field of
view. First, one-dimensional lines of a flat mirror are measured with
2.8 nm RMS difference compared to a three flat test. Then,
axial shift mapping is extended to cylindrical surfaces using a
computer generated hologram. We find that axial shift mapping results
in full surface extraction of cylindrical optics, along the axial
direction, with a repeatability of 4.4 nm RMS. We also find
that the reference surface extracted through axial shift mapping is
within 4.5 nm RMS of the transmitted wavefront error of the
computer generated hologram substrate, which was expected to be the
largest contribution of reference wavefront error.

Authors: Kariyawasam Tharanga N. , Ciocchetta Silvia , Visendi Paul , Soares Magalhães Ricardo J. , Smith Maxine E. , Giacomin Paul R. , Sikulu-Lord Maggy T. 
Published: November 2023

Background
Trichuris trichiura (whipworm) is one of the most prevalent soil transmitted helminths (STH) affecting 604–795 million people worldwide. Diagnostic tools that are affordable and rapid are required for detecting STH. Here, we assessed the performance of the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technique coupled with machine learning algorithms to detect Trichuris muris in faecal, blood, serum samples and non-invasively through the skin of mice.

Methodology
We orally infected 10 mice with 30 T. muris eggs (low dose group), 10 mice with 200 eggs (high dose group) and 10 mice were used as the control group. Using the NIRS technique, we scanned faecal, serum, whole blood samples and mice non-invasively through their skin over a period of 6 weeks post infection. Using artificial neural networks (ANN) and spectra of faecal, serum, blood and non-invasive scans from one experiment, we developed 4 algorithms to differentiate infected from uninfected mice. These models were validated on mice from a second independent experiment.

Principal findings
NIRS and ANN differentiated mice into the three groups as early as 2 weeks post infection regardless of the sample used. These results correlated with those from concomitant serological and parasitological investigations.

Significance
To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate the potential of NIRS as a diagnostic tool for human STH infections. The technique could be further developed for large scale surveillance of soil transmitted helminths in human populations.
Experiences and lessons learned from community-engaged recruitment for the South Asian breast cancer study in New Jersey during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Satagopan Jaya M. , Dharamdasani Tina , Mathur Shailja , Kohler Racquel E. , Bandera Elisa V. , Kinney Anita Y. 
Published: November 2023

Background
South Asians are a rapidly growing population in the United States. Breast cancer is a major concern among South Asian American women, who are an understudied population. We established the South Asian Breast Cancer (SABCa) study in New Jersey during early 2020 to gain insights into their breast cancer-related health attitudes. Shortly after we started planning for the study, the COVID-19 disease spread throughout the world. In this paper, we describe our experiences and lessons learned from recruiting study participants by partnering with New Jersey’s community organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods
We used a cross-sectional design. We contacted 12 community organizations and 7 (58%) disseminated our study information. However, these organizations became considerably busy with pandemic-related needs. Therefore, we had to pivot to alternative recruitment strategies through community radio, Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey’s Community Outreach and Engagement Program, and Rutgers Cooperative Extension’s community health programs. We recruited participants through these alternative strategies, obtained written informed consent, and collected demographic information using a structured survey.

Results
Twenty five women expressed interest in the study, of which 22 (88%) participated. Nine (41%) participants learned about the study through the radio, 5 (23%) through these participants, 1 (4.5%) through a non-radio community organization, and 7 (32%) through community health programs. Two (9%) participants heard about the study from their spouse. All participants were born outside the US, their average age was 52.4 years (range: 39–72 years), and they have lived in the US for an average of 26 years (range: 5–51 years).

Conclusion
Pivoting to alternative strategies were crucial for successful recruitment. Findings suggest the significant potential of broadcast media for community-based recruitment. Family dynamics and the community’s trust in our partners also encouraged participation. Such strategies must be considered when working with understudied populations.
Cuatro textos sobre el Parlamento Obrero
Authors: Marx Karl , Espinoza Pino Mario 
Published: November 2023

Durante los años 1853 y 1854 surgió una ola de huelgas en varios distritos industriales de Inglaterra, especialmente en los sectores textiles de Lancashire y Manchester. Este ciclo de luchas, que pugnaba principalmente por un aumento de los salarios, fue visto por Ernest Jones y el movimiento Cartista como una oportunidad para organizar una asociación obrera a escala nacional. Karl Marx, que compartía la visión de los cartistas, analizó el movimiento desde el New York Tribune, brindando apoyo a la iniciativa a la que dio lugar: el Parlamento Obrero.

A continuación, se ofrece la traducción de cuatro textos periodísticos que Marx publicó en apoyo a la institución obrera –la mayoría inéditos en español–, seguidos de «Las luchas por la organización obrera en la época victoriana (1853-1854)», un estudio crítico sobre el ciclo de huelgas y las expectativas de organización obrera durante aquellos años, donde se defiende que este fallido intento de organización constituye un precedente de la sección británica de la Asociación Internacional de Trabajadores. La traducción y edición de los textos de Marx, y el estudio crítico que los acompaña, han sido realizados por Mario Espinoza Pino (Universidad de Granada).

Published: November 2023

Abstract
A scheme for the stochastization of systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) based on Itô calculus is presented in this article. Using the presented techniques, a system of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) can be constructed in such a way that eliminating the stochastic component yields the original system of ODEs. One of the main benefits of this scheme is the ability to construct analytical solutions to SDEs with the use of special vector-valued functions, which significantly differs from the randomization approach, which can only be applied via numerical integration. Moreover, using the presented techniques, a system of ODEs and SDEs can be constructed from a given diffusion function, which governs the uncertainty of a particular process.
Investigation of the effects of halloysite nanoclay on friction and wear behavior of automotive brake pads
Authors: Bayrakçeken Hüseyin , Yavuz Hicri 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
They are produced with the desired performance with friction modifiers, reinforcements, lubricants, binders, and fillers used in various properties in brake pads. This study investigated the effect of the use of halloysite nanoclay material used in different sectors as a filler in brake pads. The hot-pressing method produced brake pad samples containing 10–15 % and 20 % halloysite nanoclay. A full-scale brake pad tester determined the samples’ friction coefficient and wear rates. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and 3D profilometer analyses were performed on the worn sample surfaces after the experiment. As a result, it was determined that the halloysite nanoclay samples met the desired brake lining properties.
In pursuit of epistemic authority in public intellectual engagement: the case of language and gender
Authors: Erdocia Iker , Soler Josep 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Public intellectual life is an area of inquiry that has not received a great deal of attention within the field of sociolinguistics. This article investigates the performative dimension of public intellectual engagement in the area of language and gender and, more specifically, how epistemic authority about gender-neutral language is constructed in public intellectual contributions in Catalonia, Spain. Adopting Arendt’s notion of truth claim and the Foucauldian concepts of regimes of truth and epistemic sovereignty, we empirically examine the mechanisms of reception and validation of the public engagements of one highly visible linguistic scholar. Our study shows the ways in which this intellectual figure strives to be recognised as having exclusive scientific authority about language. We argue that pursuing the allegedly impartial standpoint of epistemic authority about gender and language inevitably advances the interests of specific political actors and large media corporations of a conservative strand that fervently oppose gender-neutral language.

Zusammenfassung
Dieser Beitrag zielt auf Grundlage der sechsten Kirchenmitgliedschaftsuntersuchung darauf, einen Überblick über die Wahrnehmung und Beurteilung des Religionsunterrichts in Deutschland zu geben. Die visuelle Darstellung univariater und bivariater Statistiken zeigt unter anderem, dass eine Diskrepanz zwischen Ideal und Wirklichkeit besteht. Positive Einflussfaktoren stellen insbesondere eine pluralitätssensible Unterrichtsgestaltung sowie eine religiöse Primär- und Sekundärsozialisation dar. Die Ergebnisse sind in den Sachverhalt eingebettet, dass der Religionsunterricht zu ähnlichen Anteilen von Konfessionslosen, Katholischen und Evangelischen besucht wird. Auf diese Weise bereichern die Daten aktuelle Debatten um die Pluralitäts- und Zukunftsfähigkeit des Religionsunterrichts an öffentlichen Schulen in Deutschland um eine empirische Perspektive.
Acquired stress resilience through bacteria‐to‐nematode interdomain horizontal gene transfer

Published: November 2023

AbstractNatural selection drives the acquisition of organismal resilience traits to protect against adverse environments. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is an important evolutionary mechanism for the acquisition of novel traits, including metazoan acquisitions in immunity, metabolic, and reproduction function via interdomain HGT (iHGT) from bacteria. Here, we report that the nematode gene rml‐3 has been acquired by iHGT from bacteria and that it enables exoskeleton resilience and protection against environmental toxins in Caenorhabditis elegans. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that diverse nematode RML‐3 proteins form a single monophyletic clade most similar to bacterial enzymes that biosynthesize L‐rhamnose, a cell‐wall polysaccharide component. C. elegans rml‐3 is highly expressed during larval development and upregulated in developing seam cells upon heat stress and during the stress‐resistant dauer stage. rml‐3 deficiency impairs cuticle integrity, barrier functions, and nematode stress resilience, phenotypes that can be rescued by exogenous L‐rhamnose. We propose that interdomain HGT of an ancient bacterial rml‐3 homolog has enabled L‐rhamnose biosynthesis in nematodes, facilitating cuticle integrity and organismal resilience to environmental stressors during evolution. These findings highlight a remarkable contribution of iHGT on metazoan evolution conferred by the domestication of a bacterial gene.
