Authors: KOMAR Beata 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In Silesia at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and the interwar period, the most important in the production of glass, and thus stained glass, were German factories, among which the Josephinehütte in Szklarska Poręba, known not only in Europe, was the leader. In the Church of Christ the King in Gliwice, you can see stained glass windows by two German studios: Franz Mayer, Hofkunstanstalt & Glasmalerei from Munich and August and Jan Wagner from Berlin-Trepetow, also known as Puhl & Wagner, Gottfried Heinersdorff. The aim of the article is to present the stained glass windows of both studios and to fill the research gap regarding their activities in Gliwice. The article was created on the basis of an archival query in the parish archives, literature analyses, in situ research, interviews in the stained glass workshop and extremely valuable correspondence with an employee of Franz Mayer’s company. As a result of the conducted analyses, the icono-graphic material of all stained glass windows was obtained, the process of their renovation was familiarized and their current condition was assessed.
Nonlinearity of Conductor Behavior in the Context of Loads on Transmission Towers
Authors: WANDZIK Grzegorz , KOWALCZYK Grzegorz 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The article presents the issue of determining the effects of conductors on the supporting structures of power lines using two different methods of applying partial safety factors (PSF). An assessment of the nonlinearity and disproportionality in the relationship between the conductor load and the tension force was carried out. The discussion identifies the source of differences in the approaches and assesses the impact of two primary factors: the curvature of the relationship between load and tension force, and the initial prestressing of the cable, which results in the displacement of the graph relative to the origin of the coordinate system. The investigation utilizes measures of nonlinearity to facilitate its assessment. A sensitivity analysis was performed to examine the difference between applying PSFs to actions and their effects. A series of numerical calculations, considering various spans, initial tensions, and load values, demonstrated the scale of the reduction in the design values of forces when safety factors are applied more naturally to the actions, not to their effects.

Abstract
Pakistan currently has a problem in the energy supply and demand. There is a large gap between supply and demand for electricity. The depletion of fossil fuels and environmental pollution factors also exist. These factors convert the intention to implement co-firing of coal and biomass. Being agricultural land and producing a significant amount of agricultural waste and have a little valuable use of this waste. Keeping in mind for effective use of this agro-waste the pyrolysis behavior of Pakistani local coal (LC), rice husk (RH), and their blends 75LC/25RH wt.%, 50LC/50RH wt.%, 25LC/75RH wt.% were studied using a thermogravimetric analyzer in a nitrogen environment with 10K/min heating rate. A sequential method approach is used to calculate kinetics parameters quickly and accurately. With the assumption of first-order reaction, calculation is performed. The research findings revealed that the addition of rice husk to the blends led to an increase in the activation energy for devolatilization, rising from 22.9 kJ/mol to 45.2 kJ/mol. However, the activation energy for char degradation decreased from 60.4 kJ/mol (100%LC) to 14.2 kJ/mol (100%RH) as the proportion of rice husk in the blends increased. Moreover, the rate of mass degradation also increased with higher amounts of rice husk in the blends. These results suggest that the decrease in char degradation activation energy allows for a reduction in operational temperature, thereby facilitating a reliable co-pyrolysis process. Such a process holds the potential to design a low-cost and effective gasification process, aiding in overcoming the energy challenges.

Published: January 2025

Objective: SEMEDIC is a clinical laboratory that performs tests in the areas of hematology, biochemistry, urinalysis, immunology, coprology, and immunochemistry. This work aims to implement a continuous improvement plan for the pre-analytical process of the SEMEDICLAB laboratory in 2022.

Theoretical Framework: The research focuses on pre-analytical errors in clinical laboratories and their impact on the quality of results. It is based on the premise that, despite technological advances and automation, the pre-analytical phase remains a weak link in the clinical analysis process.

Method: The present study adopts an observational and descriptive methodology, as it allows for the visualization of the environment in which the research is carried out. It should be noted that no population or sample was considered; it was based on the identification, definition, and standardization of sub-processes of the SEMEDICLAB company process. Clause 5.4 of the ISO 15189:2012 checklist was used to identify the gap between the sub-processes currently completed.

Results and Discussion: The causes of the problem in the pre-analytical phase of the workers in the SEMEDICLAB laboratory were described, which were caused by non-compliance or omission of the ISO 15189: 2012 standard, related to clauses 5.4.2. "Information for patients and users," 5.4.4.2. "Instructions for pre-analytical activities," and 5.4.6 "Sample reception," where irregularities were observed.

Implications of the research: Research on pre-analytical errors has a direct impact on the quality of patient care, the efficiency of clinical laboratories, and the sustainability of health systems. By identifying the causes of these errors and developing strategies to prevent them, it contributes to improving patient safety and the reliability of laboratory results.

Originality/Value: The value of this type of research is multifaceted. Firstly, it contributes to improving the quality of patient care by reducing the incidence of erroneous laboratory results, which in turn reduces the risk of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. Secondly, it optimizes processes in clinical laboratories, increasing efficiency and reducing costs associated with the repetition of tests and error management. Thirdly, this research promotes the development of standards and clinical practice guidelines for the prevention and management of pre-analytical errors, which helps to ensure the quality and safety of laboratory services at the national and international level.

Published: January 2025

Objective: To determine the prevalence of malnutrition in patients with CKD not requiring dialysis treatment at the Hospital Naval de Guayaquil (HOSNAG) during the period January 2017 to December 2020.

Theoretical Framework: The research focuses on the prevalence and factors associated with malnutrition in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who do not yet require dialysis. It is based on the premise that malnutrition is a common problem in patients with CKD, despite recommendations for low-protein diets. The research aims to explore whether the VGS, a subjective nutritional assessment tool, is useful to identify these malnourished patients and whether BMI can be a predictor of malnutrition in this population.

Methods: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective, prevalence-type study. Malnutrition was considered as two definitions: a BMI <20; a GSV B/C.

Results and Discussion: 205 cases were recovered, with a median age of 64 years, being 95 (46.3%) female. There were 12/205 (5.9%) cases which presented a BMI <20, equivalent to malnutrition. Subjective global assessment A, B and C was estimated in 95 (46.3%), 87 (42.4%) and 23 (11.2%), respectively. The prevalence of malnutrition in CKD patients not requiring dialysis treatment at HOSNAG between January/2017 to December/2020 was 5.9% (95% CI 3.3 - 10%) estimated using a BMI <20, and 53.6% (95% CI 46.8 - 60%) using a B/C VGS. BMI is not a useful marker in the prediction of malnutrition in patients with CKD not requiring dialysis treatment, according to the VGS.

Research implications: By more accurately identifying malnourished patients and the factors associated with this condition, more effective nutritional strategies can be implemented to improve their quality of life and survival. In addition, the results of this study can serve as a basis for the development of public policies and health education programs that promote better nutritional care for these patients.

Originality/value: This research presents a remarkable originality by focusing on a segment of the chronic kidney disease (CKD) population that has been less explored in previous studies: those patients who do not yet require dialysis.

Published: January 2025

Objective: This research aimed to analyze the importance of prevention and early diagnosis of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) for women's health.

Methodology: To achieve this objective, a bibliographic research methodology was adopted, with a survey and analysis of articles, studies and data from scientific platforms such as SciELO, Scopus and Google Scholar, in addition to Brazilian repositories.

Results: The research revealed that, despite advances in public health policies, lack of information, social stigma and unequal access to health services are still significant barriers to the prevention and early diagnosis of STIs. It was also found that early diagnosis has a direct impact on reducing complications associated with STIs, such as infertility and cervical cancer, in addition to contributing to the reduction of disease transmission.

Conclusion: In conclusion, we highlight the need for more effective public policies, the intensification of sexual education and the reduction of stigma related to STIs to ensure that women have access to adequate health care and the prevention of these diseases.

Published: January 2025

Objectives
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of tuberculous infection on metal implants in the spine. Spinal infections include a wide range of illnesses such as discitis, Vertebral osteomyelitis, and spinal epidural abscess. With more advanced surgical methods and diagnostic equipment becoming available, the treatment of spinal infections is changing. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast is the ideal imaging test. Computed tomography-guided biopsy is necessary for choosing antibiotics. Patients with neurological deficit, marked spinal ligamentous instability due to infection, and those who have not improved without surgery are subjected to surgical debridement and metal instrumentation. The cornerstone of therapy is the use of anti-Koch’s drugs.

Materials and Methods
This study is described as a retrospective observational study. This means that it involves the analysis of data collected from past cases rather than a controlled experiment. It appears that the study aimed to analyse the outcomes and effectiveness of the treatment approach (posterior instrumentation and transpeduncular debridement) for spinal tuberculosis in these ten patients. If you have any specific questions or need more information about this study, please feel free to ask.

Results
We found that despite having active infection on surgical time in case of tubercular mycobacterium no significant complication regarding implants such as implant loosening, breakage, worsening of symptoms after instrumentation, surgical site infection and re-surgery were noted.

Conclusion
A wide range of illnesses, including discitis, Vertebral osteomyelitis, and sub epidural abscess, are classified as spine infections. Staphylococcus aureus is the most frequent cause of pyogenic spine infection, whereas Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the most frequent cause of granulomatous infectious disease. The optimum surgical strategy depends on the site, the degree of the infection, and the degree of spine instability.

Published: January 2025

O artigo tem como objetivo analisar as políticas públicas educacionais que orientam o curso de Pedagogia no Brasil entre 1939 e 2024, buscando identificar os sentidos de "Pedagogia" nessas políticas. O estudo divide-se em quatro marcos legais, que correspondem a diferentes períodos da historicidade do curso. O artigo conclui que, apesar de 85 anos de existência do curso, ainda há lacunas em relação à concepção clara de Pedagogia e sua função na formação de educadores. O sentido de Pedagogia permanece em grande parte vinculada à estrutura do curso, sem uma definição explícita do que é "Pedagogia" em si.

Development of a guide for continuous positive airway pressure use - A good fit: Making continuous positive airway pressure work for you
Authors: Meraj Adeel , Koep Lauren , Baig Muhammad R. 
Published: January 2025

Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in veterans with mental illnesses such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Untreated OSA reduces the effectiveness of the treatment of PTSD. Treatment of OSA has been shown to reduce daytime sleepiness and symptoms of PTSD and depression. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is the most effective treatment for OSA. A large number of veterans cannot tolerate CPAP therapy due to anxiety and PTSD symptoms. Positive airway pressure (PAP) NAP, a daytime sleep study for patients with anxiety about starting CPAP and exposure-based cognitive behavioural interventions are the mainstay for the management of CPAP intolerance. However, these options are not readily available to veterans in rural areas, who constitute about 40% of veterans registered in the South Texas Veterans Health Care System (STVHCS). Methods After getting local IRB exemption, we surveyed thirty (30) veterans in the outpatient clinic setting who could not tolerate CPAP therapy to evaluate the need for a tool to improve CPAP adherence. We reviewed the literature and conducted focused group meetings with local and national experts. We also convened consumer groups and stakeholder meetings, including primary care, sleep medicine, and mental health providers. Results After a comprehensive evaluation process, we compiled a concise self-help guide combining principles of cognitive behavioural therapy using a behavioural hierarchy approach towards CPAP desensitization. This guide can be used by veterans independently at their homes to improve CPAP use. A printer-friendly version is available for download on the South Central Mental Illness, Research, Education and Clinical Center (SC MIRECC) and the South Texas Veterans Healthcare System (STVHCS) website. The guide will be provided to veterans during the initial CPAP setup and available in clinic waiting rooms throughout the system. Conclusion Our guide will serve as an effective self-help tool to improve CPAP adherence. It may result in the improvement of various medical and psychiatric conditions.
