Published: May 2023

Este artigo tem o objetivo de apresentar reflexões sobre fragmentos de uma projeto pedagógico de educação sexual na escola que propôs um diálogo sobre direitos da Comunidade LGBTQIAPN+. O projeto foi aplicado em turmas do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública municipal de Fortaleza-CE, com fundamento numa educação para os direitos humanos. Diante da visibilidade da população LGBTQIAPN+, no contexto escolar, foi pensado no desenvolvimento de uma proposta pedagógica que desse voz aos jovens dessa comunidade para que seus direitos sejam respeitados. Então, a partir da concepção de uma Sequência Didática, foram desenvolvidas atividades, nas quais os/as participantes colaboraram para a elaboração de uma cartilha sobre Direitos Homoafetivos e de Gênero, a partir de metodologia qualitativa com exposição de conteúdos, pesquisa, roda de diálogos, sugestões e dúvidas, numa perspectiva extensiva, inclusiva e reflexiva, reconhecendo os direitos humanos e sociais como parte inerente à emancipação humana. Como resultados iniciais, foi notório perceber a participação ativa dos jovens na luta por direitos exercitando a participação popular e efetivando o princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana. É possível afirmar a necessidade da constituição de espaços na rotina escolar que possam dar voz à diversidade para que haja uma participação mais ampla nas decisões e efetivação de direitos, formando cidadãos emancipados que modifiquem a realidade. O projeto apresentado pode ser caracterizado como atividade educativa emancipadora por proporcionar o desenvolvimento do sujeito-histórico capaz de promover uma nova forma de sociabilidade que se contrapõeao capital.

Aim To study the dynamics of right ventricular function and pulmonary hemodynamics in patients with pulmonary hypertension during mechanical circulatory support of the heart.Material and methods A retrospective analysis was performed for 25 implantations of left ventricular assist device performed in the Meshalkin National Medical Research Center from 2006 through 2021. Mechanical assist devices were implanted in 21 men and 4 women (median age, 37.5 [29; 48] years). All patients had severe, NYHA functional class III-IV chronic heart failure refractory to the optimal drug therapy. Invasive measurements showed that mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP) was 50 [44.5; 60] mm Hg, transpulmonary pressure gradient (TPG) was 16 [14; 19] mm Hg, and calculated pulmonary vascular resistance was 5.4 [4.9; 9] Wood units, which is an absolute contraindication (TPG >15 mm Hg or pulmonary vascular resistance >5 Wood units) for heart transplantation (HT).Results Duration of left ventricular support was from 17 to 948 days. For 12 (48 %) patients, the HT was performed at 180-948 days following the implantation of left ventricular assist device; 3 patients are presently waiting for HT; 10 patients died from various complications, 6 of them died during the hospital stage. Already during the early stage after the implantation of the mechanical assist device, pulmonary hemodynamics significantly improved. Thus, in one week, MPAP decreased from 50 [44.5; 60] mm Hg to 36 [33; 38] mm Hg (р=0.012) whereas pulmonary vascular resistance decreased from 5.4 [4.9; 9] to 2.9 [2.4; 3.6] Wood units (р=0.008). Follow-up showed further improvement of pulmonary hemodynamics; at 1 month, MPAP was 29 [27; 30] mm Hg and by the time of HT, MPAP was 2.0 [24.8; 26.3] mm Hg (р=0.01), i.e., reached a normal level, which made it possible to perform HT. Similar dynamics was observed for other variables that reflected pulmonary hemodynamics.Conclusion Mechanical support of the heart is able to alleviate manifestations of pulmonary hypertension in most patients with end-stage heart failure. It is necessary to develop an algorithm for identifying the category of patients with a high risk of progression of right ventricular failure.

Authors: Romachev Roman V. 
Published: May 2023

Aim. To investigate the activities of the U.S.’ “think tanks” in Russia in terms of the intelligence functions they perform to misinform the enemy.Methodology. By implementing historical sources analysis, content analysis and case studies, the author investigated the U.S.’ think tanks activities and the history of their participation in the informational and psychological warfare against Russia during the SMO in Ukraine in 2022; the intelligence product offered by “think tanks” was also examined in the study.Results. The study established that private intelligence companies operate under the legend of “think tanks” in USA. They have a significant informational and psychological influence both on a potential enemy (misinform the enemy, induce the enemy to act in a certain manner) and on the domestic and foreign policies of the United States itself.Research implications. The findings of the study can become the basis for the development of practical recommendations for the Russian authorities on building communication and business relations with the Western think tanks.

Unclaimed estate is a major source of economic hardship for Muslims. It may take a long time to liquidate the estate since it could be frozen. The deficiency of knowledge in financial management caused the family to face burdens such as debt of sudden death and not being preparedness for death. Aspect finances are important for individuals and communities in increased well-being of the self, family, and good death. The preparedness for death is important in the face of unexpected things such as chronic illness and sudden death. The research readiness for death based on finances has still been less studied. Is society prepared to have a financial planning readiness for death? Is there a level of understanding among people and communities that death has a financial aspect? In-depth semi-structured discussions with the experts in several domains included readiness for death. This discussion was conducted online, such as via Google Meet, and audio was recorded. This interview was transcribed and coded using an inductive approach. The participants consist of experts in the fields of education and finance. Experts from the National University of Malaysia (UKM), International Islamic University (IIUM), Institute of Islamic Studies Malaysia (IKIM), and University of Science Malaysia (USM). The result is based on a thematic analysis of the preparedness for death-self financial in Malaysia.

Abstract
Objectives
To investigate the morphological differences of localized mandible between patients with impacted mandibular second molars (MM2) and non-impacted patients through mandibular measurements in three dimensions.
Materials and methods
The 222 subjects who underwent cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) were included and divided into three groups. Group 1 (G1) comprised 64 patients with unilaterally impacted MM2, group 2 (G2) was composed of 54 patients with bilaterally impacted MM2, and group 3 (G3) was made up of 104 age- and sex-matched controls. 24 measurements were selected, including 21 linear measurements and 3 angular measurements.
Results
The width of mandibular first molar (MM1), the length and width of MM2, the angle between MM1 and MM2, the angle between MM2 and ascending mandibular ramus (MR) were higher in G1 and G2 than in G3 (P < 0.05). Also, the length of MM1 and MM2, the angle between MM1 and MM2 were statistically higher in the impacted side than in the non-impacted side for G1. There was positive correlation between impacted MM2 and the length, the width of MM2, the angle between MM2 and MR, but the length between MM1 and MR, the length of alveolar bone for eruption of MM2 had negative effects.
Conclusions
The crown of MM1 and MM2 were larger in the patient of impacted MM2. The eruption space of MM2 was insufficient, while the width of mandibular arch were not affected in impacted patients.
Clinical Relevance
Impacted mandibular second molars are more common in clinic.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) after tooth extraction due to periodontitis in ovariectomized rats.Methods Twenty-four osteoporosis-induced rats were administered with zoledronic acid (ZA; ZA group) or saline (CONT group). In both groups, tooth extraction was performed after inducing periodontitis, and all animals were sacrificed 8-week after tooth extraction.Results Micro-CT of the tibia showed that the bone volume fraction, bone surface density, trabecular number, and bone mineral density were significantly higher in the ZA group than in the CONT group. Histologically, the proliferative zone on the growth plate was thicker in the ZA group than in the CONT group. Micro-CT of the extraction sites revealed that the bone volume fraction was significantly higher in the ZA group than in the CONT group. Radiologically, the ZA group showed partial healing and delayed healing. Histological analysis revealed normal bone healing status with completely healed epithelium in the extraction sites of the CONT group, whereas abnormal empty osteocytes in the necrotic bone and inflammatory infiltration were observed in the ZA group.Conclusion The incidence of MRONJ increased in the rats administered with ZA.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
We developed a deep neural network (DNN) to generate X-ray flat panel detector (FPD) images from digitally reconstructed radiographic (DRR) images. FPD and treatment planning CT images were acquired from patients with prostate and head and neck (H&N) malignancies. The DNN parameters were optimized for FPD image) synthesis. The synthetic FPD images’ features were evaluated to compare to the corresponding ground-truth FPD images using mean absolute error (MAE), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), and structural similarity index measure (SSIM). The image quality of the synthetic FPD image was also compared with that of the DRR image to understand the performance of our DNN. For the prostate cases, the MAE of the synthetic FPD image was improved (= 0.12 ± 0.02) from that of the input DRR image (= 0.35 ± 0.08). The synthetic FPD image showed higher PSNRs (= 16.81 ± 1.54 dB) than those of the DRR image (= 8.74 ± 1.56 dB), while SSIMs for both images (= 0.69) were almost the same. All metrics for the synthetic FPD images of the H&N cases were improved (MAE 0.08 ± 0.03, PSNR 19.40 ± 2.83 dB, and SSIM 0.80 ± 0.04) compared to those for the DRR image (MAE 0.48 ± 0.11, PSNR 5.74 ± 1.63 dB, and SSIM 0.52 ± 0.09). Our DNN successfully generated FPD images from DRR images. This technique would be useful to increase throughput when images from two different modalities are compared by visual inspection.

Abstract

Proper foundation design will first of all entail a site investigation to obtain the relevant parameters to proceed with the design. A mathematical model was developed to determine the dynamic resistance of the soils of Penka-Michel and its surroundings using the Dynamic Light Probe (DLP) from soil physical parameters. Field investigations reveal the soils were predominantly fine-grained soils with modest dynamic resistance values. The results of the identification tests allowed them to be classified as plastic clay soils (A3) in the GTR classification system. According to the Unified Soil Classification System, the soils studied belong mainly to the classes of very plastic clays and silts (CH and MH), as well as clayey sands (SC) and low plasticity silt (ML). Correlation analysis carried out between dynamic resistance and physical characteristics showed significant correlations between dynamic resistance and the water content (ω) on one hand and between dynamic resistance and porosity (n) on the other. In this analysis, the quadratic model gave strong coefficients of determination (R2) equal to 0.76 and 0.74 for Pearson's correlation coefficients (R) equal to -0.76 and − 0.83 respectively between the relationships cited. These coefficients showed that dynamic resistance, water content (ω) and porosity (n) are well correlated both qualitatively and quantitatively. The mathematical model developed from these physical characteristics is given as: \({Q_d}_{{_{{\exp }}}}=8.86 - 0.34\omega - 1.75n+0.72\omega n - 29.46{n^2}\). This model can be used to determine the dynamic resistance of the soils of Penka-Michel and its surrounding, providing estimates for an informed foundation design.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 21-gene assay (Oncotype DX®) can be used to guide use of chemotherapy in the management of patients with pN1 [1–3 positive lymph nodes (LNs)] breast cancer, specifically with respect to assessing potential benefit of chemotherapy. However, practice patterns based on this assay, as well as associated outcomes, have not been prospectively evaluated for pN2 (4–9 positive LNs) disease.METHODS The National Cancer Database (NCDB) was queried for women with newly-diagnosed, non-metastatic, hormone receptor-positive, Her2-negative, pN2 breast cancer who underwent adjuvant endocrine therapy. Kaplan-Meier analysis evaluated overall survival (OS); Cox proportional hazards modeling determined variables associated with OS.RESULTS Of 1,658 patients, 1,109 (67%) received chemotherapy and 549 (33%) did not. Chemotherapy was administered to 54% of patients with a low-risk recurrence score (RS), 67% for intermediate-risk RS, and 75% for high-risk RS. The median follow-up was 49.9 months (interquartile range, 33.6–71.2 months). Chemotherapy was associated with improved 5-year OS in low-risk RS (95.5% vs. 87.4%), intermediate-risk RS (91.9% vs. 83.5%), and high-risk RS (81.3% vs. 50.2%) (p ≤ 0.001 for all). On Cox multivariable analysis, chemotherapy and the RS risk group significantly associated with OS (p < 0.05 for both). Further subset analysis revealed that the benefit of chemotherapy was independent of the RS, LN ratio, and the extent of LN dissection. Qualitatively, patients over 70 years of age appeared to benefit comparatively less from chemotherapy.CONCLUSIONS Despite the underutilization of chemotherapy for hormone receptor-positive, Her2-negative, pN2 patients, it was associated with improved OS for all 21-gene panel risk groups. These results support the existing standard of chemotherapy for this population, although its omission could be considered in patients over 70 years of age.

Abstract
In the steam boiler industry, it is very important to use boiler feed water with high purity to ensure proper operation and efficiency of the boilers. However, most of the water resources in our earth crust are contaminated with the dissolved solids especially alkali earth metals. When we use boiler feed water contaminated with alkali earth metals directly in steam boilers it causes several troubles to the boilers including scale and sludge formation, priming and foaming, caustic embrittlement and eventually boiler corrosion. Therefore, it is essential to employ an analytical method to detect alkali earth metals in boiler feed water samples. Here we develop a highly specific 4’-aminobenzo-18-crown-6 (ABCE) modified Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs@ABCE) for the detection of alkali earth metals in boiler feed waters. We have used deionized water, drinking and tap water as boiler feed water samples for the investigations with our functionalized Ag probe. The final result shows that our Ag NPs@ABCE probe can be used for detecting alkali earth metals in boiler feed waters with higher sensitivity and selectivity.
