Caracterización del trastorno por videojuegos: ¿Una problemática emergente?

espanolObjetivo. Sistematizar la literatura actual disponible en torno a la caracterizacion del trastorno por videojuegos (VDJ), aportando a la comprension de este fenomeno en el contexto latinoamericano y su incidencia en la poblacion infanto-juvenil. Metodo. Se utilizo una revision sistematica de literatura, de corte analitico. Como eje de busqueda se consideraron las categorias: (a) uso de las TIC, (b) videojuegos, (c) adiccion y (d) trastorno por videojuegos, de acuerdo con estudios publicados en las bases de datos PubMed, ScienceDirect y Google Scholar, teniendo como referencia el DSM-V y CIE-11. Resultados. Las manifestaciones clinicas descritas para su uso adictivo son aun heterogeneas. Tambien, se pudo observar que, cuanto mas temprano se empieza, mayor sera la frecuencia de su uso en edades posteriores, lo que aumenta las conductas de riesgo en el futuro y su incidencia en el tiempo de ocio y la recreacion cotidiana. Conclusion. Los efectos que puede generar el uso problematico de dispositivos tecnologicos en el desarrollo de las personas, se contrapone al uso de los VDJ en el tratamiento de diversos trastornos como en el plano educativo. Adicionalmente, se reafirma el desafio de construir saberes e investigaciones multidisciplinares en torno al uso problematico de estos dispositivos. EnglishObjective. Systematize the current literature available on the characterization of video game disorder, in orderto contribute to the understanding of this phenomenon in the Latin American context and its incidence in thechild/youth population. Method. A systematic review and analysis of the literature was used. The followingcategories were considered lines of inquiry: (a) use of ICT, (b) video games, (c) addiction and (d) video gamedisorder, according to studies published in the PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar databases,having the DSM-V and ICD-11as references. Results. The clinical manifestations of its addictive use are still heterogeneous. Also, it was observed that the earlier it starts, the greater the frequency of its use in later ages, which increases risk behaviors in the future and its incidence in leisure time and daily recreation. Conclusion. The effects that the problematic use of technological devices can generate in the development of individuals are contrasted to the use of video games in the treatment of various disorders, such as in the educational field. Additionally, the challenge of building knowledge and multidisciplinary research around the problematic use of these devices is reaffirmed.
Internet-of-Things-Enabled SmartVillages: An Overview

Internet of Things (IoT) plays a vital role in smart village applications where IoT devices and automation would find its applications in agriculture, healthcare, education, and livestock management. IoT technologies are transforming villages by better infrastructure, better transportation systems, providing precision farming facilities, increasing farmer income, and improving the quality of human life. In the smart village paradigm, several communication technologies and consumer electronics (CE) have used to develop several IoT-enabled applications. Hence, this article provides state-of-the-art communication technologies and the CE aspect for IoT-based smart village realization. Furthermore, a taxonomy is devised by classifying the literature based on modern communication technologies, network types, supporting technologies, offering services, mode of operation, and requirements. Finally, we discuss important issues and opportunities regarding the smart village realization.

A guillain-barre syndrome revealing cutaneous leishmaniasis in an immunocompetent adolescent

Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is an acute autoimmune polyradiculoneuropathy that often follows an antecedent infection. Leishmaniasis is a zoonosis due to a flagellate protozoan of the Leishmania genus and transmitted by the sandfly. Here we report a 15 years old teenager who presented with an ascending installation of the motor deficit in three weeks associated with dysphonia and swallowing disorders. The physical examination showed a flaccid proximo-distal quadriparesis, akinesthesia, apallesthesia and cutaneous lesions on the forehead, wrist and calf that appeared two months earlier. The HIV serology was negative and cerebro-spinal fluid examination was normal. The electroneuromyography showed a reduction in motor and sensitive amplitudes with an increase in distal latencies and F waves in the upper limbs and segmental and focal conduction blocks. Parasitological examination of the dermal juice around the edges of the skin lesions revealed amastigote forms of leishmaniasis. The evolution was favorable with only symptomatic treatment.
Effect of Squid Melanin-Free Ink and Pre-Emulsification on Properties and Stability of Surimi Gel Fortified with Seabass Oil during Refrigerated Storage

ABSTRACT The effects of melanin-free ink (MFI) and pre-emulsification on gel properties and stability of bigeye snapper surimi gel fortified with seabass oil during refrigerated storage of 10 days were studied. Lipid oxidation as determined by peroxide value (PV) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) of surimi gel increased as the level of seabass oil increased (P < 0.05). When MFI was incorporated into surimi gel, lower PV was obtained throughout the storage (P < 0.05). Addition of seabass oil pre-emulsified with soy protein isolate (SPI) in the presence of MFI yielded surimi gel with the highest breaking force and could improve oxidative stability during refrigerated storage (P < 0.05). Slight decrease in whiteness was found in surimi gel added with MFI, while those added with MFI along with pre-emulsified seabass oil showed increased whiteness (P < 0.05). Addition of MFI did not affect total viable count and psychrophilic bacterial count in surimi gels. Thus, the incorporation of pre-emulsified seabass oil prepared using SPI in conjunction with MFI could improve quality and oxidative stability of gel from bigeye snapper surimi.
Mining Design Patterns using String Encoding Format

: In object oriented software, design pattern gives the particular solution for common design problems. In software engineering it’s very difficult task to find out design information due to improper documentation of software systems. It is very much necessary to recover pattern instances so that system would be understandable and can do modifications in them. Actually recovery of design patterns play a significant role in object oriented programming for software developers and researchers during development of system software and their maintenance. Hence mining of design patterns are very important. The paper describes detection of design patterns from software or system design by using the String Encoding Format in which pattern and system graphs are transformed in string after that process of matching is performed to extract instances from software systems. Here we match string of system design graph and design pattern graph using structural analysis.
FishNET: An automated relational database for zebrafish colony management

The zebrafish Danio rerio is a powerful model system to study the genetics of development and disease. However, maintenance of zebrafish husbandry records is both time intensive and laborious, and a standardized way to manage and track the large amount of unique lines in a given laboratory or centralized facility has not been embraced by the field. Here we present FishNet, an intuitive, open source, relational database for managing data and information related to zebrafish husbandry and maintenance. By creating a “virtual facility”, FishNET enables users to remotely inspect the rooms, racks, tanks and lines within a given facility. Importantly, FishNET scales from one laboratory, to an entire facility with several laboratories, to multiple facilities, generating a cohesive laboratory and community-based platform. Automated data entry eliminates confusion regarding line nomenclature and streamlines maintenance of individual lines, while flexible query forms allow researchers to retrieve database records based on user-defined criteria. FishNet also links associated embryonic and adult biological samples with data, such as genotyping results or confocal images, to enable robust and efficient colony management and storage of laboratory information. A shared calendar function with email notifications and automated reminders for line turnover, automated tank counts and census reports promote communication with both end-users and administrators. The expected benefits of FishNET are improved vivaria efficiency, increased quality control for experimental numbers, and flexible data reporting and retrieval. FishNet’s easy, intuitive record management and open source, end user-modifiable architecture provides an efficient solution to real-time zebrafish colony management for users throughout a facility and institution, and in some cases across entire research hubs.
A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON BRONCHIAL ASTHMA AND CHRONIC
OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE OVERLAP: POTENTIAL
DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA

OBJECTIVE The aim: The aim of the research was to analyze the results of observation andexamination of COPD patients in order to identify a group of individualswith potentialasthma overlap. PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and methods:We have conducted a two-stagedynamic investigation of 43 COPD patients during 3-8 years. The patients were divided into two groups: group 1 counted 30 individuals who presented with at least one episode of reversible bronchial obstruction (RBO) during the observation; group 2 - 13 individuals who presented with nonreversible bronchial obstruction (nonRBO). At the first stage, we conducted a clinical observations analysis and studied lung function examination records; at the second stage, we calculated the markers of allergic inflammation. RESULTS Results: It was revealed that around 70% of COPD patients have occasional episodes of RBO. It was established that the level of blood eosinophils in these patients on the whole is rather low even in people with intermittent RBO, and the total IgE level appeared to be significantly higher in patients with intermittent RBO comparing to the level of this marker in patients who have nonRBO. CONCLUSION Conclusions:COPD patients with intermittent RBO and high level of total IgE level form a group with potential asthma overlap.
Addressing Math Deficits to Improve Chemistry Success

The brain solves problems in structures termed â€œworking memory. â€ Between 2001 and 2010, cognitive experiments verified that at each step when solving a problem, working memory can hold only a few small elements of knowledge that are not well-memorized. One implication of this limit is that students must rely almost exclusively on the application of memorized facts and algorithms when solving mathematical or scientific calculations. Unfortunately, since 1990, K-12 math standards in most U.S. states assumed that with access to calculators and computers, memorization in math could be de-emphasized. As a result, many students have deficits in â€œautomaticityâ€ in the recall of math that is necessary for chemistry. This paper will include evidence that if math fundamentals are moved into memory as preparation for a chemistry topic, student success in first-year chemistry improves substantially.
Optimal Reachability with Obstacle Avoidance for Hyper-redundant and Soft Manipulators

: We address an optimal reachability problem in constrained environments for hyper-redundant and soft planar manipulators. Both the discrete and continuous devices are inextensible and they are characterized by a bending moment, representing a natural resistance to leave the position at rest, an inequality constraint forcing the bending below a ﬁxed threshold, and a control term prescribing local bending. After introducing the model and characterizing the associated equilibria, we set the problem in the framework of optimal control theory and we present some simulations related to its numerical solution.
Utilising E-Learning to Assist Primary School ESL Pupils in Learning to Spell during COVID-19 Pandemic: A Literature Review

Learning to spell is important in English Language learning. However, primary school ESL pupils struggled with it. Various factors influence the pupils’ difficulties in spelling. In order to improve their ability in learning to spell, a new approach should be employed, parallel to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the 21st century learning. The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic created a new norm in the society in which one of the affected sectors is education. Following, e-learning becomes a necessity to transcend knowledge. This paper imparts a literature review on the 1) challenges faced by the primary school ESL pupils in learning to spell and 2) measures to overcome the challenges faced by the primary school ESL pupils in learning to spell via e-learning during COVID-19 pandemic.
Characterization of photoautotrophic microbial communities in the coastal water of Lake Baikal

Photoautotrophic oxygenated microorganisms, mainly cyanobacteria and algae, convert carbon dioxide and water into an organic matter during photosynthesis using visible light as an energy source and, thus, release oxygen. Thanks to the activity of photoautotrophs, the existence of heterotrophic organisms that consume organic substances and aerobic organisms that require oxygen becomes possible. Moreover, cyanobacteria fix molecular oxygen and are highly resistant to the adverse factors caused by morphological and physiological properties. These unique properties of photoautotrophic microorganisms contribute to their ubiquitous distribution: they are the first to occupy various aquatic ecotopes, often forming benthic and plankton blooms as well as biofouling of different substrates. We aimed to study the composition and structure of photoautotrophic microbial communities in the coastal zone of Lake Baikal using microscopy methods and high throughput sequencing of amplicons of 16S rRNA and RuBisCO (ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/ oxygenase) genes.
Relationship between plant functional diversity and productivity of Pinus massoniana plantations in Guangxi

Understanding the relationship between plant diversity and productivity can provide essential information for forest management. We surveyed plant communities in Pinus massoniana dominated plantations from four regions of Guangxi. Using correlation analysis, automatic linear modeling and variance partitioning, we assessed the effect of species diversity, functional diversity, and functional dominance on productivity. We found that productivity was extremely positively correlated with species richness, Shannon index, functional richness and functional evenness (P < 0.01). Species evenness, RaoQ, functional dispersion, functional group richness and aspect were also positively correlated with productivity (P < 0.05), while forest age was negatively correlated with productivity (P < 0.01). Four functional diversity parameters positively correlated with four species-diversity indices. No evidence of negative density-dependence was found. In the best variance partitioning model, functional diversity parameters, functional dominance and forest age explained 56%, 43% and 33% of variance in productivity respectively; and the overlap between functional diversity parameters and functional dominance was up to 27%. Functional richness and functional evenness were major contributors of complementary effects while community weighted mean (CWM) of growth form contributed to selection effects. Plots identified as dominantly shrub had higher productivity than plots identified as dominantly herbs or trees, suggesting that subordinates and transients may have important effects on ecosystem functions. The best-fit subset model built by automatic linear modeling included forest age, growth form CWM, functional richness, functional evenness and functional group richness (FGR) indescending order. •研究报告• © 生 物多 样性 Bio dive rsity Sci nce 第 7 期 黄小荣: 广西马尾松林植物功能多样性与生产力的关系 691 研 究 报 告 We recommend that to maintain diversity and forest function, protection of understory plant species should be strengthened. Further, to enhance productivity and biodiversity we recommend planting functionally important species through compensatory photosynthesis and growth competition in understorey layers.
Teaching Across Time and Space

As teacher educators, our teaching practice and scholarship are informed by a value for equitable schooling (McLaren, 2015) and the promotion of inclusive and affirmative learning experiences for all students (May & Sleeter, 2010). Like others, our former professional experiences as educators in P-12 settings inform the work we do in preparing future educators and providing professional development to in-service teachers (e.g., Rice, 2011; Young & Erickson, 2011). Thus, our past is meaningful and contributes as much as our values to the enactment of our teaching and how we understand ourselves as teacher educators (Samaras, 2002).
Meta-analysis of the effects of Lactobacillus plantarum
 and Lactobacillus buchneri
 on fermentation, chemical composition and aerobic stability of sugarcane silage

We conducted a meta‐analysis to investigate the impact of Lactobacillus plantarum or Lactobacillus buchneri on the fermentation, chemical composition, and aerobic stability of sugarcane silage. Two databases that included 15 and 27 published articles (81 and 83 silages evaluated) were used to evaluate L. plantarum and L. buchneri, respectively. For each database, the means of the treatments compiled from the studies were classified into two categories: (a) sugarcane silage without inoculant (untreated) and (b) sugarcane silage inoculated with L. plantarum (1 × 10⁵–1.8 × 10⁶ cfu/g of fresh forage) or with L. buchneri (2.5 × 10⁴–1 × 10⁶ cfu/g of fresh forage; inoculated). Sugarcane silage inoculated with L. plantarum displayed increased ethanol concentration (+43.8%, p < 0.01) and dry matter (DM) loss (+9.6%, p = 0.03). In contrast, inoculation with L. buchneri increased the acetic acid concentration (+30.8%, p = 0.01), and decreased ethanol concentration (−58.8%, p < 0.01) and DM loss (−19.7%, p < 0.01). In vitro DM digestibility decreased following inoculation with L. plantarum (−5.7%, p = 0.05) or L. buchneri (−3.3%, p < 0.01). Aerobic stability was unaffected by inoculation with L. plantarum (p = 0.16) or L. buchneri (p = 0.48). The results show that L. plantarum impairs the fermentation of sugarcane silages; therefore, its utilization might not be recommended for ensiling this crop. Conversely, even with no additional gain on silage digestibility and aerobic stability, L. buchneri may be recommended for sugarcane ensiling because it reduces alcoholic fermentation and DM loss.
CAPACITY TRANSFORMER OF COAXIAL AND CYLINDRICAL FORM OF HUMIDITY METER

The question of development and calculation of construction of a coaxial and cylindrical form of the capacity transformer of a humidity meter is considered. As basic data, the sizes and the materials ditches allowing to measure the humidity of different volumes of bulks from 5 to 50 gr are selected. As materials of a ditch, plastic are selected, and as tanks, the magnetizing materials are selected. It is briefly cited the advantages and disadvantages of ways to measure humidity and the basic dielectric characteristics of capacitive converters. The electrical replacement scheme of the proposed capacitive converter was provided and the geometric capacity of the cylindrical capacity transformer and its tangent of the dielectric loss angle was calculated.
Formulation and sensory attributes of the pickle made from bitter gourd lemon and green chilli

Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia) is one of the major vegetable crops, which belongs to the family Cucurbitaceous. It is used not only as a food but also as medicine. Bitter gourd is rich in many valuable compounds and nutrients. It is useful for diabetics’ patients. the present study aimed to develop special pickle for diabetic patient the bitter gourd pickle were prepared by three different sample proportion A (100%bitter gourd) B (bitter gourd 100%+25% lemon+20%green chilly 10%) C (bitter gourd 100% +lemon30%) D (bitter gourd 100%+10% lemon and 5% green chilly). The developed pickle were sensory evaluated by using nine point hedonic scale. The result indicated that pickle B were most acceptable than other sample. Depending upon sensory evaluation we conclude that sample B was most acceptable for commercial production.
Dinámica de la elongación de la transcripción de la ARN polimerasa de Mycobacterium tuberculosis a nivel de moléculas individuales

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is an infectious agent that causes more than one million of annual deaths worldwide. RNA polymerase (RNAP) is one of the most important therapeutic targets to fight Mtb, therefore a detailed characterization of this protein and its acitvitys is necessary to understand the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and contribute to the development of new treatments against this bacterium. Given the slow growth of Mtb, its regulatory mechanisms are probably very different from what is observed in the currently most well-known transcription systems (mainly E. coli and Archaea). This study takes advantage of recent advances in the purification of the Mtb RNAP to characterize its activity in the phase of transcription elongation. Using optical tweezers, we have manipulated individual molecules of RNAP and we report, for the first time, a description of the Mtb RNAP’s dynamics. The average speed as number of nucleotides incorporated per second, the distribution of pause times, the pause-free velocity, and the force dependence of these variables were reported. Morover, this novel biochemical approach will allow subsequent studies in the regulation of gene expression, interaction with inhibitors and the functional consequences of polymorphisms associated with antibiotic resistance.
