Os Três irmãos cantadores: Lourival, Dimas e Otacílio
No full textThe book “The Three Singing Brothers” tells the story of the lives and artistic careers of the brothers Lourival, Dimas and Otacílio. These talented singers, originally from the Northeast of Brazil, formed a trio known as the “Batista Brothers”. The book highlights the richness of popular culture and the tradition of viola singing in the region. Dimas Batista, also known as the “Prince of Violeiros”, faced more than 300 unexpected challenges throughout his career. He traveled throughout the Northeast and even reached Rio de Janeiro, where he enchanted audiences with his art. However, it was in Tabuleiro do Norte, in Ceará, that he built his family and left a lasting legacy. In addition to his singing skills, Dimas also stood out as a scholar.

How to Diagnose, Treat, and Monitor Treatment Response in Patients with Multiple Myeloma
No full textMultiple myeloma (MM) is a B-cell malignancy characterized by clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow, monoclonal protein production in the serum, and organ dysfunction. It is part of a disease spectrum called plasma cell disorders, and to establish the diagnosis, a bone marrow biopsy should be conducted with clinical signs of end-organ damage and/or significantly elevated monoclonal protein (M-protein). MM can also be diagnosed without end-organ damage when certain conditions are met since the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) has come up with new diagnostic criteria for multiple myeloma.Treatment for all patients with MM aims to enhance the depth and duration of response while limiting drug toxicity to lengthen survival, improve quality of life, alleviate symptoms and prevent further organ damage. Development of new drugs has improved the survival of patients4 Available tests for monitoring of patients with MM most often include assessments of monoclonal paraprotein and serum-free light chain levels with bone marrow examination, which directly identifies the level of malignant plasma cells
Administrative Constraints in U.S. Immigration Governance
No full textThis project hosts the working paper "Administrative Constraints in U.S. Immigration Governance: An Institutional Analysis of Systemic Constraints".
The paper examines structural administrative constraints embedded in the institutional architecture of the United States immigration governance system. Rather than focusing on ideological debates or legislative proposals, the research analyzes how procedural fragmentation, multi-agency coordination, judicial backlogs, and administrative rule volatility generate systemic bottlenecks in immigration policy implementation.
The study maps the interaction between federal agencies including CBP, ICE, USCIS, and EOIR, highlighting how overlapping institutional responsibilities and procedural complexity affect operational efficiency in case processing and enforcement outcomes.
By focusing on administrative architecture rather than political ideology, the research contributes to a structural understanding of immigration governance challenges and provides a framework for discussing institutional reform and procedural stabilization within the U.S. immigration system.

Insulin resistance was hypothesized to be related to the incidence of advanced breast cancer. Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) and Triglyceride/Glucose Index (TyG Index) are two metrics used to measure the degree of insulin resistance. This study aims to assess the relationship between the incidence of metastatic breast cancer and insulin resistance as reflected by both metrics.Material and Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study involving 150 primary invasive breast cancer patients recruited from two hospitals of different sectors from August 2019 to April 2020. Patients with double cancer and autoimmune disorder were excluded from this study. Data obtained from the patients include age, body mass index (BMI), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) status and treatment, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. The electronic medical records (EMR) was consulted to find histopathology examination result, cancer staging, and any missing data. The association between HOMA-IR and TyG with metastatic incidence was analyzed using either the Mann–Whitney test (for non-normally distributed data) or the independent-sample t-test (for normally distributed data).Results: The mean of the TyG index is 8.60, and the median of HOMA-IR is 1.22. We found no significant correlation between both variables and the incidence of metastases.Conclusion: Insulin resistance was not associated with metastatic breast cancer.Keywords: HOMA-IR, TyG index, breast cancer, metastase
Exterior view of the Bonita Union high School serving two cities, (Lordsburg) San Dimas and La Verne, ca.1900
No full textPhotograph of the exterior view of the Bonita Union high School serving two cities, (Lordsburg) San Dimas and La Verne, California, ca.1900. The three-story, mission-style building features multicurved gables, ornamental traceries and moldings around windows and parapets, arched windows and Spanish tiled roofs. The building has two bell towers capped with dome roofs (one on each corner on the left side of the building). A driveway circles around the façade of the building and around the building. To the left of the driveway are two newly planted trees. A hill is visible behind the building (at left).; "Bonita was organized as a result of a 1902 State Constitutional Amendment which set aside state money for high schools. The high school students met first in a vacant store building, then in the La Verne Heights School building. Since Bonita served both La Verne and San Dimas, the site chosen on Bonita and (what was then) Grand Avenue, was midway between the two towns. The first (and only building until 1920) was completed for the 1904 fall session, and opened with 2 teachers and 34 students. The first graduating class in 1907 contained only 1 graduate. In 1910 there were only 70 students and five teachers, including the principal. By 1920 there were 120 students, and by 1930 there were 350 students and 21 teachers." -- unknown author
Challenges in Providing Treatment of Severe Malaria Case in a District Hospital of Remote Area in Indonesia
No full textSevere Malaria is commonly found due to Plasmodium falciparum infection, which is causing high mortality in patient. A Severe case might be difficult to treat optimally in the remote settings area that could be due to lack in awareness of disease manifestation and inadequate diagnostic facilities. We report a case of Severe Malaria Falciparum infection, confirmed by blood smear eamination of Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) parasites. Patient had received Artemicinin Based Combination Therapy (ACT), which consisted of dihydroartemisinin (DHA)-piperaquine and primaquine (PQ) with no clear clinical and microscopy improvement. The second line anti malaria consisted of quinine, doxycycline, and PQ was then initiated, showing clinical and microscopy responses
