Background
Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is associated with an increased risk of lower socioeconomic status and a higher risk for morbidity and mortality, which may have a significant impact on quality of life (QOL). The objective of this study is to investigate QOL in a large European cohort of men with KS.

Design
Cross-sectional multicentre study.

Methods
Two-hundred-eighteen men with KS were recruited from 14 clinical study centres in 6 European countries which participated in the European dsd-LIFE study. Male normative data from a healthy and a psychiatric reference population were used for comparison. The validated World Health Organization (WHO) QOL (WHOQOL)-BREF questionnaire was used to investigate five main domains of quality of life (WHOQOL): global, physical, psychological, environment, and social.

Results
The QOL physical domain score was lower for men with KS compared to the healthy reference population (KS: 66.9; s.d. 19.4, n = 193; healthy reference population: 76.5; s.d. 16.2, n = 1324, P < 0.001) but higher compared to the psychiatric reference population (54.6; s.d. 20.6; n = 77, P < 0.001). The WHOQOL-psychological domain score was lower for men with KS compared to the healthy reference population (KS: 63.6; s.d. 17.8, n = 193; healthy reference population: 67.8; s.d. 15.6, n = 1324, P < 0.05) but higher compared to the psychiatric reference population (45.9; s.d. 26.0), n = 77, P < 0.001). The social domain score on the WHOQOL questionnaire was found to be lower in men with Klinefelter syndrome (KS) compared to the healthy reference population (KS: 60.0; s.d. 21.6, n = 193; healthy reference population: 68.2; s.d. 13.8, n = 1324, P < 0.001). However, this score was similar to that of the psychiatric reference population (61.0; s.d. 17.0, n = 77, P = 0.5). The WHO environment domain score of men with KS (70.0; s.d. 15.0, n = 193) was similar to the healthy reference population (70.5; s.d. 20.7, n = 1324) but higher compared to the psychiatric reference population (61.9; s.d. 20.8, n = 77, P = 0.002). Experienced discrimination, less social activities, and the presence of chronic health problems were associated with significantly decreased QOL in men with KS.

Conclusion
Overall QOL in European men with KS is significantly worse compared to a healthy European reference population. Especially, the presence of discrimination, less social activities, and chronic health problems is associated with lower physical, psychological, and social QOL. Further studies are necessary to investigate if a multidisciplinary approach may help to provide adequate counselling and psychosocial support to improve QOL.
Переход от аборта к контрацепции: важнейшие страницы истории российской политики в 1990-х годах
Authors: Ривкин-Фиш Мишель 
Published: August 2023

В статье рассматривается работа российских экспертов в области здравоохранения и демографии по пропаганде использования противозачаточных средств вместо абортов в 1990-х годах. В то время как в международном экспертном сообществе идеология планирования семьи была сосредоточена на отстаивании репродуктивной автономии женщин, российские специалисты стремились обеспечить, чтобы все дети рождались желанными и любимыми. Российские проводники планирования семьи представляли себе общество, в котором будет возможно как удовлетворение индивидуальных потребностей, так и умеренный рост рождаемости, а также прекращение приоритета интересов государства (например, для повышения рождаемости) над индивидуальными предпочтениями. Специалисты по планированию семьи надеялись, что при наличии адекватных противозачаточных средств и научно обоснованного полового просвещения населения и политика в области здравоохранения, и деторождение станут рационализированными. Более того, они надеялись, что в результате этого нового фокуса будут, с одной стороны, гуманизироваться, управляться заботой, а не безразличием, отношения между медицинскими работниками, организаторами здравоохранения и населением – потребителями услуг в области планирования семьи и репродуктивного здоровья, а с другой стороны, будут становиться более интимными, доверительными и заботливыми отношения в семье: между супругами, между родителями и детьми. Таким образом, в этой статье утверждается, что в 1990-х годах институты планирования семьи стали ареной для реализации либеральных гуманистических решений некоторых основных проблем Советской России — ощущаемой потребности как в рационализации, так и в «обретении очарования» от гуманизации человеческих отношений в сфере репродукции человека. Тем не менее идеология и практика планирования семьи подверглись резкой критике и в конечном итоге были подорваны консерваторами, стремившимися возродить «демографический суверенитет» России, сводящийся к демографическому росту. Возникновение и упадок системы российских институтов планирования семьи, созданных в 1990-х годах, иллюстрирует разногласия по основным идеологическим вопросам постсоветской эпохи: должно ли общество признавать примат государственных или личных интересов, требует ли забота о нации возрождения патриархата или может учитывать репродуктивные права женщин.

Aim. To assess the correlation between clinical characteristics (sex, age, and maximum tumor size), 3D morphometric characteristics of renal lesions obtained through processing of multispiral computed tomography data, and renal tumor histology.Materials and methods. Evaluation of kidney tumor malignancy on the basis of comparative analysis of primarily morphometric characteristics of the lesion obtained through processing of multispiral computed tomography data and histological tumor structure is presented. Data of 308 patients (175 (56.8 %) males and 133 (43.2 %) females) with unilateral renal tumors were analyzed.Results. Multivariable analysis showed that malignancy of kidney tumor is associated with sex (male), location in the middle segment, tumor size, tumor shape (spherical with conical base) (24.8 %), while mushroom-like lesion shape was more common in benign tumors (35.2 %). In univariate models, only two variables were statistically significant predictors: patient sex and tumor shape.Conclusion. The developed logistic model based on analysis of such predictors as sex and kidney tumor shape has a high percentage (87.6 %) of correct predictions of tumor histological structure.

Published: August 2023

Aphis gossypii is one of the most devastating insect pests of agricultural crops due to its polyphagous nature. A sustainable environment friendly method to manage this pest is botanical aphicides because of their easily biodegradability and overall safety. In this study, saponin based nano emulsions from Phaleria macrocarpa with Termul 1284 and methyl oleate /rapeseed oil were formulated and tested against A. gossypii for their efficacy in both laboratory and glasshouse conditions. Results exhibited that all three formulated nano emulsions effectively suppressed A. gossypii population under laboratory and glasshouse conditions. However, TR3 revealed highest repellency (62%) and mortality percentage (100%) with lowest LC50 (1516 mg-L1) and LT50 (27.50 h), following by TM1 repellency (58%) and mortality percentage (98%) with lowest LC50 (1732 mg-L1) and LT50 (34.43 h). Glasshouse bioassay also revealed that TR3 (Termul 1284+rapeseed oil) and TM1 (Termul 1284+methyl oleate) could suppress A. gossypii population at LC50 values of 2512 and 2904 mg-L1 at 72 hours and LT50 values of 68.7 and 71.2 hours at 10000 mg-L1 respectively. Therefore, these both formulations could be considered as eco-friendly alternative approach in pesticides technology.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Using deep learning, an attempt was made to automatically digitize waveforms in scanned Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) analog seismograms of strong-motion seismographs recorded on smoked paper. We manually traced the waveforms in the scanned images to be used as supervised data for a convolutional neural network (CNN) model using these images. In the analog recording system, ground shaking was recorded on paper with a needle attached to the end of an arm. Because the other end of the arm is fixed on a pivot, the needle moves in an arc around the pivot for large shaking compared to the arm length. We carefully considered the effects of the finite arm length in the analog system and trained the CNNs. To validate the learning results, the trained CNN model was applied to images that were not used for the training. The automatic digitization by our method works fairly well, except for seismograms rich in high-frequency components and those with long-period large amplitudes. Even these images can be well digitized by resizing the image height by, for example, 1/2. To further improve the accuracy of automatic digitization, it would be effective to prepare many additional input and supervised data, and retrain the model. Other training is also necessary for other types of seismographs that have features and characteristics different from strong-motion seismograms.

Published: August 2023

Com a chegada dos alunos com deficiência e/ou transtornos nas classes regulares, a escola precisa ser reestruturada para proporcionar um ensino que contemple a diversidade. Em relação ao Ensino de Ciências, é notório que essa área do saber apresenta certa complexidade, visto que seu papel não se restringe apenas a cumprir com questões curriculares, mas formar cidadãos críticos. Assim, levando em consideração a importância de ampliar as discussões envolvendo o Ensino de Ciências da Natureza (Biologia, Química e Física) e a Educação Inclusiva, esse trabalho objetiva mapear e analisar artigos publicados em revistas de Qualis A1 e A4 da área de Ensino de Ciências, que abordem o Ensino de Ciências e a Educação Inclusiva, no período de 2010 a 2022. Essa é uma pesquisa qualitativa, do tipo levantamento bibliográfico. Para a análise dos dados, foi realizada a leitura dos títulos e resumos, foram identificados 13 artigos. Os resultados foram organizados nas seguintes categorias: a) referencial teórico e metodológico; b) distribuição das pesquisas nas áreas específicas das ciências da natureza c) deficiências e /ou transtornos abordados nos trabalhos e d) distribuição das pesquisas em relação ao eixo central das discussões. Assim, a investigação apontou que a maioria dos trabalhos apresentam uma discussão geral sobre a Educação Inclusiva e o Ensino de Ciências, sem um referencial teórico base. Foi possível identificar a predominância da deficiência visual, seguida da deficiência auditiva como pautas centrais nas discussões. Em relação as principais tendências das pesquisas, elas estão implicadas com as dificuldades encontradas para efetivar um ensino democrático, como é proposto pela educação inclusiva, por isso há uma necessidade de reestruturar as instituições de ensino. Os resultados encontrados se limitam aos periódicos encontrados e ao recorte temporal adotado, contudo, possibilita refletir sobre lacunas encontradas e a necessidade de ampliação das pesquisas na área.Palavras-chave: Ensino de Ciências; Educação Inclusiva; Revisão Bibliográfica.
“Eu sou porque nós somos”: Experiências do emocionar nas aprendizagens umbandistas
Authors: Chagas Wagner dos Santos 
Published: August 2023

Resumo: O artigo apresenta os resultados da pesquisa que investigou os processos de aprendizagem nos espaços umbandistas. O objetivo principal da pesquisa foi analisar como acontecem os processos de aprendizagem na Umbanda, tendo como fundamentação teórica a perspectiva Ubuntu e a Biologia do Amor de Humberto Maturana. Como orientação metodológica utilizou-se a pesquisa qualitativa numa perspectiva de recortes de histórias de vida. A produção dos dados foi realizada por meio de entrevista semiestruturada, com dez sujeitos de pesquisa de quatro espaços umbandistas da região metropolitana de Porto Alegre/RS. Os resultados indicam que nos espaços umbandistas as práticas religiosas não se separam das experiências de aprendizagem. Essas experiências de aprendizagem acontecem por meio da significação e ressignificação das práticas cotidianas que estão encharcadas pelos saberes tradicionais da Umbanda. Aprender na Umbanda é um processo de viver e conhecer em comunidade, em que os saberes tradicionais estão entrelaçados com as configurações do emocionar presente nos espaços umbandistas, representando uma grande diversidade epistemológica.
Trabalho doméstico e migração nos Estados Unidos: uma caracterização de mulheres hondurenhas
Authors: Ayala Durán Carlos 
Published: August 2023

Em função da escassa literatura sobre o tema, o presente artigo visa caracterizar as mulheres hondurenhas empregadas em ocupações domésticas nos Estados Unidos. Com esse objetivo, empregam-se questionários preenchidos por mulheres morando em cinco estados desse país norte-americano. Para realizar tal caracterização, é utilizada estatística descritiva e inferencial. Adicionalmente, emprega-se regressão logística para analisar os determinantes da participação em empregos domésticos. Quando comparadas com todas as outras ocupações, as mulheres hondurenhas fazendo trabalhos domésticos possuem diferenças em termos de idade, número de dependentes, posse de bens, poupanças e existência de conta bancária. Similarmente, a análise dos determinantes estatísticos mostra que variáveis significativas incluem idade (95% IC 0,92-2,63 p = 0.94), poupanças (95% IC 0,01-0,97, p = 0.047), existência de conta bancária (95% IC 0,88-71,05, p = 0.064), renda mensal (95% IC 0,99-1.00, p = 0.096) e contribuição à previdência social (95% IC 0,02-1,29 p = 0.086). Promover a adoção de instrumentos de direito internacional pode representar uma alternativa para fomentar os direitos humanos desse grupo de pessoas. O artigo finaliza ressaltando possíveis linhas de pesquisa relacionadas à migração de mulheres hondurenhas e da América Central morando nos Estados Unidos.

Authors: Tókos Katalin 
Published: August 2023

2020-tól az ELTE is részt vesz a Tanítsunk Magyarországért Programban, amelynek keretében a hallgatók hátrányos helyzetű régiókban élő kisiskolásokat mentorálnak Nógrád és Pest megyei partneriskolákban. A 2023. tavaszi félévben az ELTE 9 budapesti karáról 250 mentorhallgató 1000-nél is több általános iskolai tanulót támogat. A hallgatók szabadon választható kurzusként vehetik fel a felkészítő kurzust, majd a következő félévtől a mentorálást egy kísérő szeminárium egészíti ki, ezen történik az aktuális mentori tapasztalatok feldolgozása. Mind a felkészítő, mind a kísérő kurzusokon – a hallgatói heterogenitásnak is köszönhetően – kiemelt alapelvként jelenik meg az egymástól tanulás, a kölcsönös tudásmegosztás, a mentorálás során jól működő elemek, gyakorlatok megosztása, hiszen az sem ritka, hogy a jelöltek között korábbi kortárs segítők, felsőoktatási mentorálási tapasztalatokkal rendelkező hallgatók is vannak. A tanulmány a kurzusszervezés legfontosabb alapelveinek a bemutatása mellett arra vállalkozik, hogy értelmezi a mentorálást mint tanulási folyamatot. Majd pedagógiai célú válogatási szempontok alapján a hallgatók által megosztott, a mentorálás során sikeresnek ítélt gyakorlatokból ad közre néhányat – kiegészítve a hallgatói reflexiókkal.
Rheological Compatibility of a Hardening Spacer Fluid and Oil-Based Drilling Fluid
Authors: Khalili P. , Khalifeh M. , Saasen A. , Naccache M. 
Published: August 2023

Summary
In the placement process of the cement slurry, treatment fluids such as the spacer are pumped ahead of the cementitious slurry to minimize the contamination of the slurry by drilling fluid and ensure superior bonding to the casing and formation. The spacer discussed in this work can harden with time and act as a settable spacer. This characteristic can be an advantage for well integrity if some spacer pockets are left in the annulus. Rheological compatibility of different mixtures of the spacer with oil-based drilling fluid (OBDF) has been studied using a rheometer, and the resulting R-factor, which indicates the degree of compatibility between fluids, has been calculated. An increase in the flow curve was observed for the mixture of the fluids. However, based on the R-index, these fluids are compatible with displacement in the wellbore. A nonionic surfactant, typically used in conventional spacers acting as an emulsifier and a water-wetting agent, was used in the hardening spacer design. The results show that the addition of OBDF to hardening spacer containing surfactant can increase viscoelasticity. Hardening spacer containing surfactant can successfully reverse the OBDF emulsion. By performing a small-scale mud displacement experiment, we observed that surfactant can improve the wall cleaning efficiency of the spacer while having minimal impact on the bulk displacement.

Abstract
Blue Brain based clustering have emerged as one of the most popular methodologies in a variety of applications, like farming, smoke alarms, medical, and industrial surveillance e.t.c. Blue Brain based mobile wireless sensor networks offers a variety of advantages, like affordability, portability, versatility, self-organization, and the capacity to route traffic using Blue Brain algorithms. Increasingly practical applications than it's ever been utilize Blue Brain. However, among the most serious issues is the lack of energy. It prevents the full use of Blue Brain technology. Normally, battery packs have a limited life are used to power sensors. Wireless sensor networks always have opportunity for efficient energy usage even when renewable resources (like solar or electromechanical technologies) are being used as supplemental energy. In this research work point out the flaws in the existing approaches, offer a fresh technique that strengthens it, and contrast it with ICRA strategy. This investigation largely relies on the constraints of an ICRA as well as its associated algorithms in order to enhance network longevity by minimizing energy usage.
