Muitos são os grupos religiosos onde a cura espiritual e física tem um papel vital. Muitas pessoas até associam essas religiões com o processo de cura. No âmbito médico, esse apego religioso pode ser benéfico ou nocivo. Benéfico pois muitas dessas religiões pregam a passividade, conforto, e paz, ao mesmo tempo que impõem códigos de ética que os inibem da exposição à alguns comportamentos de risco, como o consumo de álcool e drogas, praticar atos de violência e outros. O presente estudo discorre comentários acerca do processo de adoecimento e cura ante as questões da espiritualidade. Os resultados demonstraram que o processo de adoecimento do corpo vai muito além dos diagnósticos clínicos. Neste sentido, o sujeito não pode mais ser visto apenas como um corpo que não está sadio. Há que o considerar holisticamente, levando-se em consideração toda a sua complexidade, incluindo-se aí, seus valores, suas pressuposições, bem como suas crenças pessoais e espirituais. Portanto, é necessária uma análise multiprofissional que considere o sujeito em todas as suas dimensões biopsicossociais.

Published: March 2023

Introduction: NF-κB proteins are transcription factors that modulate various functions of the immune system. NF-κB2 (or p100/p52) has particularly important roles in B cell development and function. Primary immunodeficiency due to mutations in the NFKB2 gene, encoding NF-κB2, range from combined immunodeficiency with susceptibility to viral or opportunistic infections to primarily antibody deficiency. Methods: A comprehensive chart review of our patient was performed. Results: Our patient, currently a 19-year-old male, presented with multiple autoimmune cytopenia resistant to treatment and generalized granulomatous lymphadenopathy. Whole exome sequencing identified a novel pathogenic variant in NFKB2 (c.1700C>T; p.A567V) that is the cause of our patient’s presentation. Conclusion: We present a novel pathogenic variant in NFKB2 with an unusual presentation. Statement of novelty: Here, we report a novel mutation in NFKB2 and the clinical presentation of the affected patient, which helps in further understanding the NF-κB2 pathway and its associated disease.

Abstract
The management of sheep reproduction requires the induction and synchronization of the estrus cycle and ovulation for the ewe out-of-season and/or synchronized lambing. These managements are based on the insertion of an intravaginal device of controlled internal drug release (CIDR or sponge) and then the administration of a hormonal injection, such as PMSG, eCG, hCG, or GnRH. This study aimed to compare the impact of CIDR or sponges, with PMSG and GnRH injection, respectively, for inducing estrus synchronization, lambing rate, twining, and sex preselection rate in Naimi sheep. A total of 86 Naimi sheep ewes and six male rams with proven fertility were used in this study. The results showed that the first ewes or CIDR group had the highest ewe fertility rate of 26/28 (92.59%) with a 35/92 (38.04%) lamb production ratio. The offspring sex ratio was 22/35 males (62.85%) and 13/35 female lambs (37.14%). Their twin ratios were 9/22 (34.4%), producing 14 males (77.77%) and 13 females (37.14%). The second or sponge ewe group’s fertility ratio was 16/26 (61.53%). They sired the lowest offspring ratio of 20/92 total lambs (21.73%) and had sex ratios of 11/20 males (55.0%) and 9/20 (45.0%) female lambs. The twin production ratios were 4/22 (25% with two males and two males with female twins). Their twin sex ratio was six males (77.77%) and two females (22.34%). The third or control ewe group’s fertility rate was 29/33 (87.87%). They produced 37/92 (40.27%) lambs, and the total sex ratios were 22/37 male lambs (59.45%) and 15/35 (40.45%) female lambs. They produced eight twins (27.58%), and their twins’ sex was equal to six male and six female (50%) lambs. Regarding the progesterone and testosterone hormone levels, no differences during pre- or post-intravaginal insertion were observed, but the estrogen level showed some differences during pre-insertion. In conclusion, the use of CIDR with hormone injection is better for reproduction management, male lambing, and sex preselection rate. The control group produced approximately the same fertility rate with equal male and female lambing sex preselection rates.

Abstract
This paper successfully demonstrated simulated analysis and investigation of 100 multichannel DWDM-based FSO system having each channel data rate 10 GB/s separated by 100 GHz frequency spacing under adverse weather conditions such as haze, heavy rain and heavy dust fog. Apart from this, a comparison of two modulation formats RZ and NRZ has been performed to optimize the system performance under different climate conditions at diverse visibility ranges. The performances of the proposed work have been compared in terms of BER, Q-Factor, SNR, eye diagrams and received signal power on 193.1 THz. It has been observed that NRZ modulated system showed robust performance as compared to the RZ modulated system for transmitting 1 TB/s data rate over free space with acceptable values of BER ≥ e−22 & Q-Factor ≤ 9.6 dB.

Abstract

Objectives
The aim of study was to evaluate the 2D shear wave sonoelastography (SWE) findings of the thyroid gland in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) with normal gray-scale findings and without thyroid autoimmunity (AIT) and obtain data that will be useful for the early detection of glandular involvement.

Methods
The study included 46 T1DM patients (mean age: 11.28 ± 3.3 years) and 46 healthy children (mean age: 12.01 ± 3.8 years) as the control group. The thyroid gland mean elasticity value was obtained as kPa and compared in groups. A correlation was investigated between elasticity values and age at diabetes, serum free T4, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), anti-thyroglobulin, anti-tissue peroxidase, and hemoglobin A1c values.

Results
No difference was found between T1DM patients and the control group in the thyroid 2D SWE evaluation (the median kPa value: 17.1 (10.2) in the study group and 16.8 (7.0) in the control group) (p=0.15). No significant correlation was found between 2D SWE kPa values and age at diagnosis, serum free T4, TSH, anti-thyroglobulin, anti-tissue peroxidase, and hemoglobin A1c levels in T1DM patients.

Conclusions
Our study showed that the elasticity of the thyroid gland in T1DM patients without AIT was not affected differently from that of the normal population. If 2D SWE is used in routine follow-up in T1DM patients before the development of AIT, we think that it will be useful in the early detection of thyroid gland affections and AIT, and long-term comprehensive studies in this direction will contribute to the literature.
Dysregulated lncRNAs are involved in the progress of myocardial infarction by constructing regulatory networks

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) mediate important epigenetic regulation in a wide range of biological processes. However, the effect of all dysregulated lncRNAs in myocardial infarction (MI) is not clear. Whole transcriptome sequencing analysis was used to characterize the dynamic changes in lncRNA and mRNA expression. A gene network was constructed, and genes were classified into different modules using WGCNA. In addition, for all dysregulated lncRNAs, gene ontology analysis and cis-regulatory analysis were applied. The results demonstrated that a large number of the differentially co-expressed genes were primarily linked to the immune system process, inflammatory response, and innate immune response. The functional pathway analysis of the MEblue module included immune system process and apoptosis, and MEbrown included the T-cell receptor signal pathway by WGCNA. In addition, through cis-acting analysis of lncRNA regulation, the cis-regulated mRNAs were mainly enriched in immune system processes, innate immune responses, and VEGF signal pathways. We found that lncRNA regulation of mRNAs plays an important role in immune and inflammatory pathways. Our study provides a foundation to further understand the role and potential mechanism of dysregulated lncRNAs in the regulation of MI, in which many of them could be potential targets for MI.

Abstract
Microbial flocculants affect the aggregation of suspended solutes in solutions, thus, they are a viable alternative to inorganic and organic synthetic flocculants which are associated with deleterious health problems. Moreover, a potential solution for wastewater treatment. The study aimed to produce and characterize a bioflocculant from Proteus mirabilis AB 932526.1 and apply it in domestic wastewater treatment and dye removal. The bioflocculant was extracted using butanol and chloroform (5:2 v/v). Carbohydrates, proteins, and uronic acid were identified using phenol-sulphuric acid, Bradford, and Carbazole essays. The morphology, crystallinity and elemental composition of the purified bioflocculant were determined using a Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis and SEM energy dispersive elemental detector (SEM-EDX). The antimicrobial properties and dye removal efficiencies were evaluated. About 3.8 g/L yields of the purified bioflocculant were attained. Chemical composition analysis revealed the presence of 65 % carbohydrates, 10 % proteins, and 24 % uronic acids. The bioflocculant displayed an amorphous and crystalline structure. Bioflocculant further shows some remarkable properties as they can be able to inhibit the growth of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms. The removal efficiencies of 85 % (COD), 82 % (BOD), and 81 % (SO4
2−) in domestic wastewater were achieved. Moreover, the high removal efficiency of staining dyes such as methylene blue (71 %), carbol fuchsin (81 %), safranin (83 %), methylene orange (90 %), and Congo red (90 %) were found. The produced bioflocculant can imply industrial applicability.
Exploring consumer behaviour in automatic dishwashing: a quantitative investigation of appliance usage in six European countries

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Automatic dishwashing has been optimised in manifold ways during the last decades: new dishwashing devices (e.g. optimised for best class in energy labelling) and innovative dishwashing detergents (e.g. with advanced enzyme technologies). However, the usage of the automatic dishwasher in consumers’ home may not be adequate to gain all the benefits from these developments. Little is known about the actual consumer behaviour with automatic dishwashing. This was tried to solve by performing a survey on the consumer behaviour on automatic dishwashing in Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, Hungary and Turkey covering large parts of Europe. The results show that the ‘eco’-programme is getting more importance in programme selection. However, feedback on the soil level of the dish items put into this programme and the observed duration of the programme show that the potential of the ‘eco’-programme is not fully utilised by consumers. Besides this, the survey delivers relevant details on differences which may help to understand the needs and wishes of consumers in those countries.
The Tapestry Series The Life of Man for Cosimo I de’ Medici: A Reconstruction and a Hypothesis as to Its Purpose
Authors: van Veen Henk Th. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
In 1559 Cosimo I de’ Medici commissioned eight tapestries on the subject The Life of Man. These tapestries were destined for the room in the Palazzo Vecchio where Cosimo and his family dined during the winter season. Giorgio Vasari designed the series and Jan van der Straet was responsible for its cartoons; the tapestries were woven by Benedetto di Michele Squilli and Giovanni di Bastiano Sconditi. Until now three tapestries of the series are known to have been preserved. In this article I shall argue that a fourth tapestry can now be added to these three. I will also reconstruct the original appearance of the full series on The Life of Man and put forth a hypothesis as to the purpose it may have served in its original setting.
Electron density of a cyclic tetrasaccharide composed of benzoylated galactose units
Authors: Luger Peter , Dittrich Birger 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The electron density distribution (EDD) of a cyclic tetrasaccharide composed of four benzoylated galactopyranosyl units was calculated from refinement with scattering factors from the invariom library based on X-ray diffraction data downloaded from the Crystal Structural Data Base (CSD). Bond topological and atomic properties have been derived. Benzoyl substituents cause weak intermolecular interactions. These are also visible from low electron density concentrations on the Hirshfeld surface and have an influence on a low X-ray density compared to that of non-substituted carbohydrates, where hydrogen bonds allow a 20% more dense packing. On the electrostatic potential (ESP) surface, a strong polarization between the positive outer belt of 12 benzoyl groups and a negative core region composed of the four galactose sugar molecules exists. The positive benzoyl exterior establishes a repulsive wall between adjacent molecules in the structure.
Synthesis, crystal structure, thermal and spectroscopic properties of ZnX2-2-methylpyrazine (X = Cl, Br, I) coordination compounds
Authors: Näther Christian , Jess Inke , Mangelsen Sebastian 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Reaction of zinc(II) chloride, bromide and iodide with 2-methylpyrazine (2-Mepyz) leads to the formation of coordination compounds with the composition ZnX2(2-Mepyz)2 (X = Cl; 1-Cl, Br; 1-Br and I; 1-I). In the compounds each Zn cation is tetrahedrally coordinated by two halide anions and two 2-methylpyrazine ligands forming discrete complexes. TG-DTA and temperature dependent PXRD measurements prove that upon heating compounds 1 transform into new compounds with the composition ZnX2(2-Mepyz) (2), that are subsequently converted into compounds with the composition (ZnX2)3(2-Mepyz) (3) upon further heating. It was also found that compounds 2 can be prepared directly in solution. For ZnI2(2-Mepyz) (2-I) crystals were obtained and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, whereas the crystal structures of 2-Cl and 2-Br were determined ab initio from PXRD data. In these compounds the Zn cations are also tetrahedrally coordinated and linked into chains by bridging 2-methylpyrazine ligands. The (ZnX2)3(2-Mepyz) compounds can only be obtained by thermal decomposition, and the products are of poor crystallinity and extremely hygroscopic, which prevented structure determinations.

Abstract
The supply of drinking water has become a major challenge, despite large but relatively polluted quantities of groundwater, especially in southeastern Algeria. The use of solar energy for water desalination has become the subject of many local and global researchers. To solve this problem, we carried out an experimental study on two solar stills with a single slope. One was provided by a new absorber designed with multilayer composite materials and the other still was taken as a reference or control. The dimensions of the solar still was 0.5 × 0.5 m and the thickness of the layer of water used was 0.01 m. The results obtained show that the quantity of fresh water produced from the modified solar still was 4,312 l/m2 per day, while that of the reference solar still was 4,488 l/m2 per day, showing a difference in productivity of 3 %.
Influence of GFRP Confining Tube Parameters in Double-Skin Tubular Short Columns under Axial Loading

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Composite construction with steel and concrete has become a widespread solution in modern construction practices because of its inherent properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio, good corrosion resistance, and high stiffness. Concrete-filled fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) steel double-skin tubular compression members as vertical load–carrying members in buildings helps in optimizing the advantages of three materials: steel, concrete, and FRP. This study investigates the axial compressive behavior of short, concrete-filled glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) steel double-skin tubular (GSDST) columns and concrete-filled GFRP tubular (CFFT) columns. Parameters such as the number of FRP layers, hollow section ratio (HSR), variation of diameter of the inner steel tube, and the angle of orientation of the fibers have been examined in this investigation. The experimental study was carried out by performing a monotonic axial compressive loading condition. Three different angles of fiber orientation, 0° along the hoop direction, 45°, and 0°/90° with respect to the axis of the column, were adopted in this study. The ultimate load-carrying capacity, axial displacement, axial and horizontal strains, and failure modes were observed. The experimental results indicate that the structural performance of GSDST columns is significantly influenced by GFRP tube thickness, inner steel-tube diameter, and fiber-orientation angle. Maximum displacement was observed in the specimens with high HSR, thus showing a ductile characteristic in the axial load-displacement behavior. The load-carrying ability of the specimens decreased as the HSR increased. The load-carrying capacity of the specimens increased with the increase in outer GFRP tube thickness. This study demonstrates that GFRP tubes can be used efficiently in the construction field as vertical load–carrying components by enhancing the axial behavior of FRP steel double-skin tubular columns.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Fatigue data sheets of the National Institute for Materials Science disclose the results of gigacycle fatigue tests conducted on wrought aluminum alloys. The materials tested were hot-rolled plates and extruded round bars of A5083P-O (two heats), A7075-T6 (three heats), and A6061-T6 (three heats). The fatigue testing methods were rotating-bending at 100 Hz, ultrasonic at 20 kHz, and uniaxial at 100 Hz. The rotating-bending fatigue tests were conducted for 3 years to reach 1010 cycles. The ultrasonic and uniaxial fatigue tests were also conducted at high stress ratios. This study analyzed the fatigue life data, clarifying frequency effects, presence or absence of fatigue limits, and stress ratio effects. The three types of fatigue tests revealed equivalent results, meaning that frequency effects and stress gradient effects were negligible in the wrought aluminum alloys. Frequency effects were visible in several cast aluminum alloys owing to the influence of humidity, but the wrought aluminum alloys were observed to be insensitive to humidity. Many specimens were fractured at &gt;107 cycles, whereas the degradation of fatigue strength after 107 cycles was very small in A5083P-O but large in A7075-T6 and A6061-T6. A5083P-O revealed fatigue limits at around 107 cycles. The heat treatment effects determined the presence or absence of fatigue limits because the equivalent tensile strengths between A6061-T6 and A5083P-O excluded the possibility of tensile strength effects. The stress ratio effects on gigacycle fatigue strengths of the wrought aluminum alloys are reasonable and can be estimated in conventional ways.
