Los fundamentos de la política: pluralidad en clave zubiriana
Authors: Reyes Linares, S.J. Pedro Antonio
Published: November 2024

Reyes Linares, Pedro Antonio. Los fundamentos de la política: pluralidad en clave zubiriana. En los trabajos de Hannah Arendt sólo puede hablarse de política cuando se presenta una condición de poder plural. La autora, sin embargo, no ofrece fundamentación suficiente para tal aserción. En este artículo pretendo mostrar que la noología zubiriana permite elaborar una filosofía del poder que establece la necesaria constitución plural del vínculo humano, dimensionado en diversidad y comunidad, modulando el ámbito de realización de toda la actividad personal. Esto favorece encontrar en la actividad política un contexto sentimental de gratificación y alegría que Arendt también plantea en su análisis sobre las revoluciones y la actividad política, el cual posibilita diagnosticar si el proceso vivido está verdaderamente coadyuvando a la condición plural del poder que exige la política. La concordancia en las posiciones de estos dos autores, Hannah Arendt y Xavier Zubiri, permite pensar una pedagogía política promotora de la composición plural de sociedades y Estados, y que alerta los riesgos de la uniformidad logificante propagandística que da lugar a la tiranía.
La metafísica y lo físico: la estructura de momentos
Authors: Gallego Arroyo Manuel
Published: November 2024

Gallego Arroyo, Manuel. La metafísica y lo físico: la estructura de momentos. En el presente artículo interpretaré la historia de la metafísica y las correspondientes estructuras o sistemas metafísicos como dos momentos de una misma realidad, una realidad noérgica y congénere en la marcha del pensamiento. El motivo de esto descansa en el legado zubiriano. En efecto, Xavier Zubiri justifica en su filosofía esta marcha érgica del pensamiento en la búsqueda de un tercer horizonte que corrija lo elidido e incoado en los dos precedentes. Este nuevo horizonte no se dará sin un método y, por supuesto, un lenguaje; y es aquí donde entra en juego la estructura momentual del pensamiento. De ahí la necesidad de aclarar qué se entiende por el concepto “momento”. Para ello examinaré su configuración a partir de tres problemas de la metafísica occidental hondamente tratados por Zubiri: conciencia, sustantividad e inteligencia sentiente. En esta última se descubre el momento clave del nuevo horizonte: la impresión de realidad, lo sentiente en tanto físico.
Sicilian ornithological report 2021 (Sicily, Italy)
Authors: Surdo Salvatore , Vento Roberto
Published: November 2024

Useful documents such as Ornithological Reports are no longer published, although these types of publications help us to evaluate population trends: the IUCN status of each species is influenced by this kind documentations, and they are useful also to improve knowledge on migratory movements and, generally, on animal ecology. A report often collects also information from citizens: involving citizens in science projects has a strong positive response on their lives and their sensitivity to environmental issues. Given this importance, it seemed reasonable to us to work on a report which includes all the most important observations of birds of 2021. The importance rank was evaluated on the basis of the number of individuals or their unusual phenology. Every year, a high number of observations of wild animals are reported in several social media. These observations/records are lost if no one collects, validates and publishes them. All the data we present have been collected either from several digital channels of information, such as Ornitho, Ubird, eBird, INaturalist, Facebook groups, Trektellen.org or directly from birdwatchers. They include noteworthy observations about 185 species observed in Sicily during the year 2021 and, in addition, 109 species listed in a separate table because of fragmented or useless information.
A reinterpretation of the Jelm and Popo Agie formations (Triassic Wyoming) and distributive fluvial system (DFS) and the role of the accommodation/sedimentation ration in DFS Deposition
Authors: Deckman Max E. , Lovelace David M. , Holland Steven M.
Published: November 2024

Distributive fluvial systems are common river environments where the stream is distributary, rather than tributary. These fluvial systems are common in modern basins, where preservation potential is highest, but relatively few have been interpreted from the rock record. This indicates that some previously described fluvial sedimentary units are likely misinterpreted as tributary systems, when in actuality, they were deposited in a distributive system. The Jelm and Popo Agie formations are two poorly understood sedimentary units from west-central Wyoming, which were previously described as part of a tributary fluvial system. In contrast to prior interpretations, we demonstrate that features such as sedimentary structures (i.e., antidunes and chutes-and-pools), facies architecture (i.e., extensive crevasse splays and few channels), and depositional trends, (i.e., fining of sediment and decreased shear stress down-dip) are more consistent with the distributive fluvial system model. Similar to previously described distributive fluvial systems, the Jelm Formation exhibits progradational stacking of the fluvial facies associations. This is contrasted by the overlying Popo Agie Formation, which shows abrupt retrogradational stacking, a pattern that is previously undescribed from any distributive system. The stacking patterns in both the Jelm and Popo Agie formations are interpreted to be the result of changes in the accommodation/sedimentation ratio along depositional dip. Accounting for accommodation and sedimentation in distributive fluvial systems helps better understand how these units were deposited through time and allows for better prediction of stacking patterns found in other distributive fluvial deposits.
Nurses' careers in the middle of uncertainty futures
Authors: Wijayanti Kartika , Marasigan-Pamintuan Marilou
Published: November 2024

Over the next ten years, the nursing workforce will be tested in several ways. These include the need to respond to an aging population with more complex and intense medical needs, the demand for more primary care capacity, and the requirement to bridge the gap between medical and health care and the social factors influencing people's health and well-being. Additionally, an education system that better prepares nurses for practicing in community-based settings with diverse populations that face a variety of lived experiences is required to build a future workforce capable of effectively providing the health and health care that society requires. This will require a substantial increase in the nursing workforce's numbers, types, and distribution. If health systems, governments, schools, and payers can capitalize on opportunities in programming, policy, and finance, then these improvements will take place more quickly, more evenly, and with more success.

The use of complementary therapies in wound healing continues to grow. One natural ingredient that has many benefits is garlic—however, limited studies have investigated this area of interest. The purpose of the study was to explore the trend of the number of publications, citations, and the journal with the highest number of publications, which field has the most consent to publish, network visualization, overlay visualization, and density visualization on the effect of garlic in wound healing through bibliometric analysis—Bibliometrics analysis used in this study.  Records are identified through database searches. Paper restricted in publications years 2018-2023, focus in the field of Health sciences, nursing, public health, clinical sciences and publication type is the article. Data were analyzed using a VOS viewer, and then the analysis was reviewed by co-occurrence and co-authors. Publication searches related to garlic and wound healing yielded 47,351 articles. After screenings through the specified criteria, the number of articles obtained was 12,472. The peak of publications about garlic and wound healing was in 2018. On the other hand, the lowest number was in 2023. Research on the effect of garlic in wound healing is carried out by the fields of medicine, public health or nurses and other fields such as agricultural, vetenary, and food sciences, medical and biomolecular chemistry, pharmacology and pharmaceutical sciences, and medical biotechnology. The peak of publications about precision health and precision medicine was in 2021; the lowest number was in 2023. Research related to the use of garlic has been carried out on acute and diabetic wounds. However, safe concentrations are a concern for more in-depth research on their use in wound care.

The aluminium production process through the electrolysis of cryolite-alumina melts involves a series of interconnected, sequential, and parallel technological operations, each defined by a specific level of engineering and technological advancement. The development of the modern aluminum industry is closely tied to the adoption of resource-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies, which focus on recycling secondary materials and industrial waste. Fluorinated carbon-based materials release fluorine into the gas phase at relatively low temperatures when heated, and in thermal units processing fluorinated waste, this fluorine, along with alkali metals, will remain in the gas phase. To enhance the durability of furnace linings against the corrosive atmosphere, refractories with the highest possible density (low porosity) and a high concentration of mullite in the matrix (the finely ground component of the batch) are required. These properties can only be achieved in refractory products produced by the semi-dry pressing method, which ensures high grain packing density and leads to the formation of a ceramic mullite bond after firing.

Published: November 2024

Retrograde perineural spread is a well-described entity involving many major nerves, including the inferior alveolar, facial, and branches of the trigeminal nerves. However, isolated perineural spread along the lingual nerve has not been well-described in the literature and is often
overlooked. Lingual nerve perineural spread is a potential pathway of recurrent floor of the mouth cancers, which are often clinically occult. This article describes the CT and MR imaging findings of lingual nerve perineural spread characterized by thickening and enhancement along the course
of the lingual nerve, which extends from the lateral floor of the mouth (between the mylohyoid and hyoglossus muscles), proximally along the medial aspect of the mandibular ramus to the main trunk of mandibular nerve. We also identify 5 unique anatomic “anchor points” that represent
imaging landmarks that help radiologists diagnose patients with potential lingual nerve involvement and assist radiation oncologists in contouring the lingual nerve pathway and planning initial treatment in patients with high risk of perineural spread.Learning Objective: To describe the
CT and MR imaging findings of lingual nerve perineural spread and provide imaging landmarks that help the neuroradiologist identify lingual nerve involvement and assist radiation oncologists in planning the initial treatment in patients with a high risk of lingual nerve perineural spread

Authors: Kriss S. , Sarma A. , Pruthi S.
Published: November 2024

Pediatric skull fractures are frequently encountered in accidental and abusive head trauma and often involve cranial sutures. However, skull fracture association with cranial sutural widening, crossing, or contacting ≥2 cranial sutures can be seen more commonly with abusive head
trauma. Knowledge of cranial sutures and associated variants is helpful for an accurate diagnosis. 3D head CT is a significant aid in the identification of skull fractures contacting and crossing cranial sutures. Growing literature supports the elimination of concurrent skull radiographs (often
performed as required components of follow-up skeletal surveys). Ultrashort TE/zero TE MRI is an emerging new imaging technique to consider for assessing skull fractures to aid in evaluating pediatric abusive head trauma.Learning Objective: To review skull fracture findings in abusive
head trauma with attention paid to the cranial sutures (widening, crossing, or contacting ≥2 sutures).  To recognize normal cranial sutural variants. To understand the role of CT versus radiographs
in assessing skull fractures. To discuss ultrashort TE/zero TE MRI as an emerging technique for imaging skull fractures in abusive head trauma.

Published: November 2024

Pneumonia is a dangerous disease that kills millions of children and elderly patients worldwide every year. The detection of pneumonia from a chest x-ray is perpetrated by expert radiologists. The chest x-ray is cheaper and is most often used to diagnose pneumonia. However, chest x-ray-based diagnosis requires expert radiologists which is time-consuming and laborious. Moreover, COVID-19 and pneumonia have similar symptoms which leads to false positives. Machine learning-based solutions have been proposed for the automatic prediction of pneumonia from chest X-rays, however, such approaches lack robustness and high accuracy due to data imbalance and generalization errors. This study focuses on elevating the performance of machine learning models by dealing with data imbalanced problems using data augmentation. Contrary to traditional machine learning models that required hand-crafted features, this study uses transfer learning for automatic feature extraction using Xception and VGG-16 to train classifiers like support vector machine, logistic regression, K nearest neighbor, stochastic gradient descent, extra tree classifier, and gradient boosting machine. Experiments involve the use of hand-crafted features, as well as, transfer learning-based feature extraction for pneumonia detection. Performance comparison using Xception and VGG-16 features suggest that transfer learning-based features tend to show better performance than hand-crafted features and an accuracy of 99.23% can be obtained for pneumonia using chest X-rays.

Authors: Ni Boye , Jin Huaping , Wu Wei
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND: According to the Global Burden of Disease Study the prevalence of stroke worldwide has significantly increased from 1990 to 2019, making it the second leading cause of death worldwide. Approximately 70%–80% of stroke patients are unable to live independently due to disability. OBJECTIVE: To explore the therapeutic effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) combined with muscle energy technique (MET) on post-stroke dysphagia. METHODS: A total of 122 stroke patients with dysphagia admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to December 2020 were divided into the control group (n= 61) and the study group (n= 61). Patients in the control group received conventional rehabilitation plans, while those in the study group were given a combined therapy of MET and PNF. Standard Swallowing Function Assessment Scale (SSA), Videofluoroscopic Swallow Study (VFSS), Swallowing Quality of Life (SWAL-QOL) scores, Water Swallow Test (WST) grading, and efficacy indicators were compared between two group with t-tests, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, χ2 test or Fisher’s exact probability test. RESULTS: After treatment, the study group showed lower SSA score (P= 0.036), and VFSS, P= 0.013 than the control group. The changes in SSA score (P= 0.013) and VFSS score (P< 0.001) in the study group were greater than the control group. Furthermore, after treatment, both the study group and the control group showed a decrease in WST grading (P< 0.001); and the degree of post-treatment WST grading decline in the study group was higher (P= 0.009). Besides, after treatment, the SWAL-QOL score of the study group was higher than the control group (P< 0.001); and the effective rate of patients in the study group was higher than that in the control group (P= 0.021). CONCLUSION: Compared with traditional rehabilitative training strategies, PNF combined with MET can effectively improve swallowing function, and enhance the quality of life in patients with post-stroke dysphagia.

Authors: Yang Xi , Zhang Jianmei , Liang Yanyan
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND: Myopia is a frequent visual problem, and the relationship between choroidal thickness (CT) and the degree of myopia has been a hot topic in myopia research. OBJECTIVE: This work aimed to explore the correlation between CT and the degree of myopia, providing a reference for diagnosing and treating myopia. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2021 to December 2022, collecting data from 95 myopic patients aged between 18 and 50 years in the outpatient department. All subjects’ CT in the macular center (MC), spherical equivalent (SE), and other ocular parameters were measured. Furthermore, the Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) analyzed relationships between CT and various factors. RESULTS: The choroid was thickest in the MC and gradually became thinner towards the periphery, with the thinnest region located nasally in the healthy group. In the mild, moderate, and severe myopia groups, the choroid was thickest at 1,000 μm temporal to the fovea, becoming thinner towards the periphery, with the thinnest region located nasally. The MC’s CT was correlated with a family history of myopia, SE, axial length (AL), and intraocular pressure (IOP). Meanwhile, there was a negative linear relationship between AL and CT in the MC (standard coefficient (SC) of -0.596, P-value of 0.000, tolerance of 0.217, and variance inflation factor (VIF) of 4.467), and a positive linear correlation between SE and CT in the MC (SC of 0.205, P-value of 0.013, tolerance of 0.257, and VIF of 3.792). CONCLUSION: This work provided clues for further understanding of the pathogenesis of myopic eyes and served as a scientific basis for early screening and treatment of myopia. Additionally, investigating the correlation between myopia and CT can also yield a reference for developing personalized myopia management strategies, which will help slow down myopia’s progression and prevent related complications.

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary nodule, one of the most common clinical phenomena, is an irregular circular lesion with a diameter of ⩽ 3 cm in the lungs, which can be classified as benign or malignant. Differentiating benign and malignant pulmonary nodules has an essential effect on clinical medical diagnosis. OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical value and diagnostic effects of the lung nodule classification and segmentation algorithm based on deep learning in differentiating benign and malignant pulmonary nodules. METHODS: A deep learning model with a fine-grained classification manner for the discrimination of pulmonary models in Dr.Wise Lung Analyzer. This study retrospectively enrolled 120 patients with pulmonary nodules detected by chest spiral CT from March 2021 to September 2022 in the radiology department of Ninghai First Hospital. The DL-based method and physicians’ accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity results were compared using the pathological results as the gold standard. The ROC curve of the deep learning model was plotted, and the AUCs were calculated. RESULTS: On 120 CT images, pathologically diagnosed 81 malignant nodules and 122 benign modules. The AUCs of radiologists’ diagnostic approach and DL-base method for differentiating patients were 0.62 and 0.81; radiologists’ diagnostic approach and DL-base method achieved AUCs of 0.75 and 0.90 for benign and malignant pulmonary nodules differentiate. The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity with the deep learning model were 73.33%, 78.75%, and 62.50%, respectively, while the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity with the physician’s diagnosis were 63.33%, 66.25%, and 57.500. CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference between the diagnosis results of the proposed DL-based method and the radiologists’ diagnostic approach in differentiating benign and malignant lung nodules on spiral CT (P< 0.05).

Latar Belakang: Umumnya, masalah utama kesehatan mental pada pasien  skizofrenia rawat jalan adalah kurangnya dukungan sosial untuk membantu mereka mematuhi pengobatan. Pasien  skizofrenia rawat jalan sulit untuk mematuhi obat mereka karena mereka membutuhkan bantuan dari orang lain untuk terus mengonsumsi obat seperti yang diresepkan. Oleh karena itu, dukungan sosial memiliki peran penting dalam merawat pasien skizofrenia  rawat jalan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan hubungan antara dukungan sosial dan kepatuhan pengobatan pada pasien skizofrenia rawat jalan di Rumah Sakit Jiwa Aceh. 
Metode : Penelitian ini merupakan studi korelasi deskriptif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Sampel dari penelitian ini adalah 110 pasien skizofrenia rawat jalan  yang datang ke poliklinik di Klinik Jiwa Aceh Keperawatan Kesehatan dengan kriteria inklusi terdiri dari pasien rawat jalan dengan diagnosis skizofrenia, lanjut usia di atas 18 tahun, skor BPRS kurang dari 41 dan memiliki komunikasi yang baik. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini termasuk, kuesioner data demografis untuk mengumpulkan data responden, Multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS) untuk mengumpulkan dukungan sosial dari keluarga, teman, dan orang lain, dan juga kuesioner kepatuhan Pengobatan Perilaku untuk mengumpulkan data kepatuhan minum obat.
Hasil : Menurut analisis  Uji Spearmean Rank, hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa ada korelasi yang signifikan antara dukungan sosial dan kepatuhan pengobatan di antara pasien skizofrenia rawat jalan yang mengunjungi poliklinik di Rumah Sakit Jiwa Aceh (p < 0,05).
Kesimpulan : Dukungan sosial merupakan salah satu faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi kepatuhan pengobatan di pasien skizofrenia rawat jalan. Semakin tinggi dukungan sosial yang diberikan kepada pasien rawat jalan skizofrenia, semakin tinggi kepatuhan pengobatan yang mereka miliki.

Authors: Popov V. S. , Alefirenko E. A. , Chernitsyna L. Yu.
Published: November 2024

The recursive function for solving task 23 on dynamic programming of the Informatics Unified State Exam is used by examinees without a deep understanding of the principles of its operation: with the formed skill of its use, the necessary knowledge is missing, which is an knowledgeless form of competence. Understanding the principles of the program code and the transition from the knowledgeless form to full-fledged competencies (information, digital, mathematical, programming) will allow students to gain deeper knowledge of the theory of recursive functions, to form skills and attitudes in the field of solving dynamic programming problems at a higher level, which can lead to improved educational results, understanding of dynamic programming methods used, including Unified State Exam tasks and informatics Olympiads. To form the knowledge component of the competence, it is proposed to build, study and use call trees of the recursive function, created in the Observable programming environment, as well as study memorization as a key difference between the dynamic programming method and recursion.
