Where are Our Educators? by Елізабет Тюнс, Зоя Рібейро Престес

“…We describe events that were already analyzed by a few authors (Illich, 2006; Bartholo, 1986; Clarke, 2001; Fisher, 2023 and other). For exempl, a confessed Manichaeism was present in the initial vision of Max Fisher – a reporter for the New York Times – regarding social networks and digital platforms, as he himself declared in the book The Chaos Machine (Fisher, 2023), which he published in 2022, translated into Portuguese, in 2023. …”

Manganese-pyrochloric acid photosensitizer nanocomplexes against osteosarcoma: achieving both high activatability and high effectiveness by Xuran Zhang, Xuran Zhang, Jian Wang, Qun Feng, Li Lei, Zhiyong Zhu

“…Additionally, Mn2+ ions activated the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway, promoting maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) and augmenting CD8+-mediated antitumor immune responses.DiscussionThis study advances the on-demand activation of photosensitive drugs and photodynamic immunotherapy toward clinical applicability by exploiting Mn2+–PPa nanocomplexes with high activatability and effectiveness for targeted PDT and immunotherapy.…”

Socioeconomic status and left ventricular ejection fraction decline in breast cancer survivors following receipt of doxorubicin (PREVENT WF-98213) by Arnethea L. Sutton, Nathaniel S. O’Connell, Alexander R. Lucas, Kristine C. Olson, Kerryn W. Reding, Vanessa B. Sheppard, Bonnie Ky, Kathryn J. Ruddy, Kathryn E. Weaver, W. Gregory Hundley

“…However, six months following treatment, survivors who were unemployed for reasons other than retirement and disability experienced greater LVEF declines compared to survivors who were employed ((b = 2.79 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.37–5.20; p = 0.026). Our study demonstrated that non-clinical factors associated with social drivers of health, such as socioeconomic status, contribute to subclinical cardiovascular dysfunction and therefore supports further investigation of mechanisms behind these associations. …”

Factors Affecting Ultrasonographic Fetal Weight Estimation Accuracy in Low Birth Weight Newborns by Nevin Tuten, Onur Guralp, Koray Gok, Abdullah Tuten, Altay Gezer

“…Results: Accurate estimation rates were lower in the term compared to the preterm delivery group; and in the SGA group compared to the AGA group (respectively, p=0.016, p=0.032). Accurate estimation rates (p=0.182) were comparable between the 500-1500 g and 1501-2500 g subgroups. …”

The Microbial Activity in PM2.5 in Indoor Air: As an Index of Air Quality Level by Hanlin Chen, Rui Du, Weishan Ren, Sujian Zhang, Pengrui Du, Yongtao Zhang

“…Thus, this study used a modified technique of fluorescein diacetate (FDA) hydrolysis to evaluate the activity of microorganisms in the PM2.5 during three seasons (summer, autumn and winter) in Beijing. 0.155–5.388 ng m−3 and 0.091–5.740 ng m−3 of sodium fluorescein, a marker of microbial activity, were measured indoors and outdoors, respectively; thus, no significant difference in concentration between the two environments was detected, but the indoor activity was affected by outdoor conditions to an extent. …”
