Relación entre el Uso de Toxinas Derivadas de Venenos de Animales Aplicadas a Moléculas para Tratamiento de Alzheimer
Authors: Castellanos Espinosa Mireya
Published: June 2024

En el artículo se busca abordar la enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA), una forma prevalente de demencia neurodegenerativa caracterizada por el deterioro progresivo de la memoria, el comportamiento y la cognición. Se mencionan dos tipos principales de EA: la de inicio temprano familiar (FAD), asociada con mutaciones en los genes PSEN1 y PSEN2, y la de inicio tardío (SAD), vinculada con el alelo APOE4. La EA se agrava por factores genéticos y ambientales, incluyendo la interacción social y hábitos alimenticios. A lo largo de las décadas, la teoría colinérgica ha sido fundamental en la comprensión de la EA, enfocándose en la disminución de acetilcolina. Se explora el uso de toxinas animales para el tratamiento de EA. Por ejemplo, se discute el potencial de las toxinas del pez león y las arañas marrones para desarrollar nuevas terapias. Estas toxinas pueden bloquear la transmisión neuronal y ofrecer nuevos caminos para el tratamiento al prevenir la unión entre Aβ y α7AChR, una interacción clave en la patogénesis de la EA.

Authors: Buhl Emil , Buhl Bettina Borre , Kornerup Linda Skibsted , Nexø Ebba
Published: June 2024

No international treatment standard for B12 deficiency exists. Current practice predominantly relies on more than 50 years old data. Consequently, this review investigates that we still recommend five injections with 1 mg B12 over 10 days followed by maintenance therapy with 1 mg oral B12 daily or injections, of which the interval is guided by symptom relief rather than normalization of biomarkers. Clinical studies are highly warranted and should include formulation and administration of B12. Subcutaneous self-injection may prove cost-effective and benefit an individualized treatment strategy.

Authors: Bomark Daniel , Fabrin Jesper , Sørensen Michala Skovlund
Published: June 2024

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a Gram-negative bacterium known to induce severe infections, is seldomly reported in scientific literature as a contributor of osteomyelitis. In this case report, a 71-year-old woman exhibited recurring infections and enduring forearm pain. A subsequent MRI revealed osteomyelitis in the distal ulna, linked to an arterial blood gas sample taken months earlier. Despite undergoing multiple extended courses of antibiotic treatment, the patient eventually underwent surgery on her left forearm. Biopsy cultures conclusively confirmed the presence of P. aeruginosa.

Published: June 2024

In 1990, the Danish brain death legislation was adopted by the Danish Parliament. Each year, around 100 patients in Denmark fulfil criteria for brain death/death by neurological criteria (BD/DNC). In this review of current Danish criteria including the indication for ancillary investigation, which in Denmark is digital subtraction angiography (DSA), we conclude that the time has come to revise the national BD/DNC criteria. We propose that visible anoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy on brain CT after cardiac arrest does not require evaluation by ancillary testing, and that CT-angiography can be used instead of DSA.
Evaluating the influence of Green Growth, Foreign Direct Investment and Financial Development towards Sustainable Environment: Evidence by Green Finance Theory
Authors: Farooq Fatima , Sajid Muhammad , Faheem Muhammad , Khan Khizar Hayat
Published: June 2024

In today's world, environmental sustainability and sustainable development are critical issues that are emphasized by the urgent need for coherent and practical solutions to the ecological effects of economic activity. Hence, this study examines how Pakistan's carbon emissions are affected by green growth, foreign direct investment, human capital, and financial development between 2004 and 2022. Based on the theory of financial development and green finance, this research utilizes a sound theoretical framework, the Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model, which helps to explain this problem’s short-run and long-run relation. The research conclusions reveal that green growth positively correlates with environmental sustainability by improving green activities and investing in better technology to minimize carbon emissions. At the same time, the study demonstrates that human capital remains a key driver of environmental success. This implies that intensified workforces require higher education and training to adopt and sustain sustainable green practices. On the other hand, FDI has been positive but has a insignificant impact on Pakistan's environment. This evidence highlights legislators' need to associate financial development with economic policy to ensure ecology preservation and continuing economic stability. Pakistan can gain environmental and financial benefits from its sustainable human capital development and integrated investment promotion policies.

Published: June 2024

Organizations have traditionally been concerned about employee turnover. An excessive amount of staff turnover might be harmful to the company and its workers. This study looks at how low compensation, deteriorated work environment, low growth in career, and work-life imbalances affect employee turnover in microfinance banks. Every person employed by Larkana City, Pakistan's microfinance banks (N = 100). 80 workers from microfinance banks in Larkana, Pakistan, were chosen using stratified random selection. Google Forms was used to collect the answers to the online survey forms that were distributed to the employees via email and WhatsApp. The links between the independent factors and employee turnover are examined using regression analysis with SPSS software. Each scale had strong internal consistency, as indicated by Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients is .799. The research discovered a strong correlation between employee turnover and low compensation (β = 0.249, p < 0.001), a deteriorating work environment (β = 0.272, p < 0.001), low career growth (β = 0.358, p < 0.001), and work-life imbalances (β = 0.282, p < 0.001). In order to lower employee turnover in microfinance banks, the study emphasizes how critical it is to address these work-related issues. According to the research, in order to increase staff retention and organizational performance, microfinance banks should give priority to market-based pay, make improvements to the internal work environment, offer possibilities for career advancement, and encourage work-life balance.

Authors: Amin Najma , Rahman Saif Ur , Khalid Sukaina , Idress Sadia
Published: June 2024

This study explores the effects of Tourism (TOU), Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Trade Openness (TOP) upon carbon di oxide emissions (CO2). The article has taken top seven tourist destinations in ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) through 2000-2020. The approaches used to analyze results are autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) and secondly the Granger causality technique. The data is panel data; hence we can also say it is panel ARDL. The outcomes exhibited an interesting relationship between the variables under study. Where, GDP, TOP and TOU were significantly and positively correlated with CO2. Whereas FDI showed huge and negative correlation with CO2. The results of the study showed that in the long run there is a significant association between FDI, TOP and TOU and carbon emissions. The study findings are thoroughly examined, accompanied by analysis of policy implications and recommendations for future research.
The New Russian Strategy and The Challenge of Changing the International System in Shadow of Contemporary International Variables
Authors: Mustafa Shamal
Published: June 2024

The Russian Federation has tried to return strongly to occupy an influential global position in international politics, especially since Russia has a global strategy that stems from many security, diplomatic and economic considerations, and has many elements of power to play global roles in international relations, through political and diplomatic means and through the use of military force and its interventions in international affairs. Russia's strategy during the Putin era was a prominent example of highlighting Russia's global role by strengthening Russian foreign policy and its presence on the level of regional issues and files, whether in the Middle East or its military movements towards regional countries, the latest of which was its military incursion into Ukraine, where the war is still bloody. The importance of this study lies in the fact that it sheds light on the strategy of one of the great countries active and present at the level of international politics.Especially since the movement and action of this state have very important repercussions negatively and positively on the future of international relations. As well as the repercussions of Russian military movements in international politics on the issues and files of the countries of the Middle East. The study tried to verify and verify the validity of the hypotheses identified by the study, which are that Russia relied in its strategic construction towards restoring its role on its strengths, specifically military power. Especially since the new military approach in the strategy of restoring its global role was linked to global changes, specifically the decline of American unilateralism, and Russia was able to turn the international scales, so it is no longer possible to talk About the Unipolarity of America.
Why Nations Go to War? Ethnocracy vs Democratic Peace in Divided South Caucasus
Authors: Ordukhanayan Emil , Sukiasyan Hayk , Shirinyan Levon
Published: June 2024

Based on the analysis of some theoretical approaches and practical circumstances, this research paper explores the issue of war origins and their solutions in divided regions such as South Caucasus. It has to be noted that regions with considerable ethnic diversities and cultural distinctions as well as with non-democratic regimes have a huge conflict potential.In this context, the South Caucasus has become a boiling conflict zone after the Soviet-Union dissolution. Since then, many times and by different ways the efforts to resolve the conflicts were undertaken but with no positive outcomes yet. Some of these conflicts (for example: South Ossetia or Abkhazia) stay as frozen but another one such as Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was reignited in 2020 after 25 years of relative truce.The complex analysis of relevant issues showcases that a sustainable peace-building in the South Caucasus can become possible mostly by democratic values’ promotion based on consociation of interests. In this regard, the article suggests and substantiates a democratic (consociational) peace-building approach when the rights and legitimate claims of smaller nations will be considered and respected by bigger ones. This approach can be seen as an appropriate and soft way for stabilizing the South Caucasus region.

Published: June 2024

Planting mangroves along the coast of Jakarta is an important strategy in addressing coastal erosion and preserving environmental sustainability. Mangroves, with their strong roots and efficient water absorption system, help mitigate coastal erosion and strengthen coastal structures. Amidst rapid population growth and infrastructure development, the risk of coastal erosion increases, influenced by global climate change. Research shows significant economic losses due to coastal erosion, threatening the preservation of coastal ecosystems and human settlements. Planting mangroves provides benefits in combating coastal erosion. In addition to coastal protection, mangroves enhance biodiversity, sequester carbon, restore degraded land, and empower local communities through ecotourism and sustainable natural resources. Implementation requires careful planning and collaboration among government, communities, and non-governmental organizations. With the natural protection provided by mangroves, the risk of coastal erosion can be reduced, coastal infrastructure can be maintained, and the sustainability of coastal ecosystems preserved. Mangrove planting should be an integral part of coastal erosion control strategies in areas like Jakarta. Collaboration among government, communities, and various stakeholders is needed to implement mangrove planting programs for the sustainability of coastal environments and the well-being of communities.

Authors: Misra Swati , Damor KaushikKumar , Sundar R Naveen Shyam , Gupta Eshwar Kumar , Parmar Dipesh
Published: June 2024

Introduction: According to NFHS-V revealed that in Gujarat, contraceptive prevalence rate was 65.3%. Female sterilization is the predominant contraception method, favored by 35.9% of individuals. Whereas, total unmet need for family planning is 10.3%. Women with unmet need are those who are fecund and sexually active but are not using any method of contraception, and report not wanting to delay the next child. The concept of unmet need points to the gap between women’s reproductive intentions and their contraceptive behaviour. Aims & Objectives of study is the prevalence of unmet needs of family planning and its determinants among married women (15-49 yrs) attending rural and urban health centre of a teaching hospital of Saurashtra Region of Gujarat. Methodology: Cross-sectional Hospital based study which was conducted at rural & urban health centre under MPGMC, Jamnagar, Gujarat amongst married women (15-49 yrs) during April 2021 to August 2021. Sample size was calculated by using Daniels Formula. Verbal informed consent was taken from every subject. The study was initiated after it was approved by the Research and Ethics Committee of MPSGMC. Results: In this study, conducted with a total of 300 participants (comprising 150 from rural areas and 150 from urban areas), the unmet need for family planning stands at approximately 35.67%. This figure was even higher among younger age groups and among women with smaller family sizes. Of the participants, 51% were currently utilizing contraceptive methods, with only a small percentage reporting contraceptive use by their partners. Government health facilities were the major source of contraceptive service. Conclusion: Unmet needs of family planning were high in this study population, and the knowledge about the contraceptive use and family planning was found to be fairly adequate.

Authors: Nandakumar Amar , Dhanasekaran Punithavathy , M Pandi , Shanmugam Jeevithan
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Back pain is a prevalent global health issue, particularly among women during the postpartum period. Neuraxial anesthesia, commonly used in procedures such as cesarean section, is associated with complications, including postspinal back pain (PSBP). However, limited data exist on its incidence and characteristics, especially within specific demographic groups. This study aimed to examine the prevalence and features of PSBP among women who underwent neuraxial anesthesia for cesarean section in a tertary care center in south India. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 168 women who underwent spinal anesthesia for cesarean section between January 2015 and December 2018. Data were collected through telephone interviews, utilizing a structured proforma covering sociodemographic profiles, pain characteristics, and disability assessment using the Oswestry Disability Scale. Descriptive statistics and chi-squared test were used for data analysis. Results: Among the participants, 40.5% reported experiencing back pain after neuraxial anesthesia, with 39.3% experiencing pain post-delivery and 1.2% since their first delivery. The majority of participants were under 30 years old (78%) and homemakers (92.3%). Severity of back pain varied, with 22.06% classified as mild, 35.29% as moderate, and 42.65% as severe. Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between the number of children and the incidence of back pain (p<0.05). Conclusion: The research emphasizes a significant proportion (40.5%) of postpartum back pain (PSBP) in women who have cesarean sections with neuraxial anesthesia. The intensity of pain experienced varied, with a notable link detected between the number of children a woman has and the likelihood of experiencing back pain. These results highlight the necessity of recognizing and managing factors that contribute to PSBP, aiming to enhance maternal health and recovery after surgery.

Authors: Sivarchaka Omkarnath , Rupesh Kattamreddy Ananth , Moses T Mohit Kumar
Published: June 2024

Background: The increasing mortality and morbidity rates associated with poisoning in India have become a major public health concern. This short review paper discusses the urgent need for a comprehensive poisoning incident reporting and monitoring system to address data gaps and combat this threat at the national level. A national poisoning incident registry would not only provide traditional uses of data like aiding in the processes of planning, resource allocation, design of health programs, and public health research in the field of toxicology but also serve as a valuable tool for researchers investigating the scientific validity of using organs salvaged from poisoning cases for transplantation purposes. Discussion: With the emergence of biocrime as a stark reality in the post-COVID-19 era, the need for rigorous documentation of all poisoning incidents has become even more critical. Given the potential for molecular and genetic level threats, including bioterrorism, a strong public health surveillance system in the field of toxicology is essential in the future. Conclusion: The data on healthcare events is crucial for the proper implementation of healthcare programs, disease/issue control, and clinical decision-making. The Health Management Information System (HMIS) shows great promise in supporting decision-makers and healthcare professionals in providing high-quality care and reducing illness burden. The integration of toxicology event-related data in a registry on the lines of HMIS has a huge potential in improving the quality of health care in clinical toxicology scenarios in India. In conclusion, the implementation of a national toxicology incident registry is a categorical imperative to address the growing threat of poisoning fatalities in India.

A Documented Rare Case of a Duplicated Renal Collecting System with Ectopic Opening into the Vagina Managed with Robotic Assisted Heminephrectomy of the Non- Functioning Upper Moiety
Authors: Agarwal Varun , Potdar Ojas Vijayanand
Published: June 2024

Background: The definition of ectopic ureter is an abnormal opening of the ureter (single or duplex) that does not open in the trigonal region of the bladder. In 80% of these cases, ectopic ureter is associated with complete duplication. The upper moiety of a duplex kidney is usually the origin of a ectopic ureter in most of the cases. The opening of the ectopic ureteric in females can be anywhere from bladder neck to perineum with urethra, vagina, and vestibule. Duplex kidney, also known as duplex collecting system, is a common congenital urinary system anomaly with a morbidity of about 0.8–1%. We present a unique case of a completed duplicated system with ectopic ureter opening into the uterus leading to a non-functional associated upper renal moiety of the affected side which was managed by robotic assisted segmental nephrectomy. Case presentation: We present a case of 52-year- old lady who presented to urology outpatient department with complaints of sticky white perineal discharge through vaginum associated with left sided intermittent colicky flank pain who was diagnosed to have complete duplex left moiety with ectopic insertion of the upper moiety ureter into the vagina associated with non-functioning left upper renal moiety. She was managed by robotic assisted Left sided heminephrectomy with excision of left ectopic ureter. Conclusion: Our case report thus highlights the importance of adequate evaluation of a patient to determine the anatomy and the function of the kidney to decide for the definitive management of these patients with ectopic ureter and duplex kidneys.

Measuring the Academic Vocabulary Size of University Students in Nepal
Authors:   Far Western University, Saud Mohan Singh
Published: June 2024

Students’ knowledge of academic vocabulary is a crucial aspect of learning English as a second or foreign language at the university level. Using academic vocabulary lists could be a valuable resource in teaching and learning vocabulary. This study measured the academic vocabulary size of Nepalese university students using Schmitt’s (2010) Academic Vocabulary Level Test Version 2 as a data collection tool. The participants were 62 adult EFL students. The data were collected online via Google Forms. The results showed that the average academic vocabulary size of the students was 435 (76.3%) words out of 570 word-families in the academic vocabulary word list. The results also showed that the students had heterogeneous knowledge with varying degree of academic vocabulary achievement (M = 22.02, SD= 8.6 and Coefficient of Variation = 39.1%). The results of the study suggest that English education students at the university level in Nepal need explicit instruction, concentration, and practice to gain mastery over academic vocabulary with less variation of knowledge in their academic vocabulary achievement.
La entomobiotecnologia (la biotecnología en estrecha relación con los insectos)
Authors: Granadillo Cuello Jose Arnoldo
Published: June 2024

Technological advances have allowed the emergence of new disciplines responsible for very specific studies in all sciences. Specialization has appeared thanks to the great accumulation of knowledge that human beings have generated in all fields and their temporary impossibility to cover them in an efficient way. Such is the case of entomology and biotechnology, which have been linked through the advances of molecular biology and genetic engineering to obtain a very particular and still undefined area, which has helped and will help humans solve problems and needs in agriculture, livestock production, medicine, pharmacy, and industrial production.
This review aims to preliminarily analyze the historical development of entomology and biotechnology, and then point out examples of how these two disciplines have overlapped, generating common but disaggregated knowledge independent of each of them. Organizing this knowledge in a single area will allow its articulation, which can represent for humanity new paradigms and advances towards improving the quality of life of human beings.

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a serious condition that affects 13-19% of mothers who previously had postpartum blues. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that mothers receive screening for PPD at their infant’s well-child visits during months 1, 2, 4, and 6. The purpose of this intervention was to host an informational session for pediatric residents regarding current research and local/national resources for women with postpartum depression. We hypothesize that by doing this session, there will be a notable increase in the knowledge learned. The session was held at the Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. Residents were given a pre-survey, a presentation, and then a post-survey immediately after. All surveys were online and given via Qualtrics. The presentation consisted of background information on postpartum depression, local specialists on maternal mental health, research supporting telemedicine, exercise, social interactions, and expressive writing as evidence-based methods to improve symptoms, and local/national resources for each respective field. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to analyze the differences in our pre-survey data versus. post-survey data. In comparing the pre to post-survey responses, an overall average of an 87% increase in knowledge occurred. Overall it was noted that all residents gained a better understanding of resources nationally and in the local community. Although limited by our sample size, N<14, our study concluded that the residents who attended our session were able to screen and diagnose postpartum depression and were able to provide local resources to mothers. We were able to accept our hypothesis that creating an educational intervention where current research and resources regarding support for women with PPD is synthesized and presented to pediatricians, their knowledge on available tools accessible to mothers will increase.

Published: June 2024

процесс обучения оперному пению – является сложный и многоступенчатым. Она включает множество аспектов: от постановки дыхания и овладения техническими вокальными приемами до разработки исполнительской интерпретации. Особое внимание уделено арии, как самому распространенному вокальному произведению, применяемому в классе оперного пения. В связи с вышесказанным проблема, рассматриваемая в статье, представляется актуальной. Для раскрытия проблемы и выполнения задачи исследования используется основной метод сбора сопутствующих документов, книг, обзоров, анализа и обобщения научных работ. На основе этого обобщаются и оцениваются характеристики, связанные с приемами и методами в процессе преподавания и обучения. Делается вывод о том, что использование арий в процессе обучения оперному пению позволяет решить сразу несколько воспитательных, дидактических и обучающих задач. Во-первых, при изучении арии обучающийся может отрабатывать различные вокальные навыки: дыхание, произношение, исполнение штрихов, регулирование динамики и пр. Во-вторых, ария, как законченное музыкальное произведение имеет несколько частей, в каждой из которых исполнитель может продемонстрировать владение актерским мастерством и создать собственный художественный образ. В-третьих, при изучении арии исполнитель знакомится с новыми операми и композиторами, повышая свой уровень осведомленности о музыкальном искусстве.

the process of learning opera singing is complex and multi-stage. It includes many aspects: from establishing breathing and mastering technical vocal techniques to developing a performing interpretation. Particular attention is paid to the aria, as the most common vocal work used in the opera singing class. In connection with the above, the problem discussed in the article seems relevant. To solve the problem and complete the research task, the main method of collecting related documents, books, reviews, analysis and synthesis of scientific works is used. Based on this, the characteristics associated with techniques and methods in the teaching and learning process are summarized and evaluated. It is concluded that the use of arias in the process of teaching opera singing makes it possible to solve several educational, didactic and training problems at once. Firstly, when studying an aria, a student can practice various vocal skills: breathing, pronunciation, execution of strokes, regulation of dynamics, etc. Secondly, an aria, as a complete musical work, has several parts, in each of which the performer can demonstrate mastery of acting skills and create your own artistic image. Thirdly, when studying an aria, the performer becomes acquainted with new operas and composers, increasing his level of awareness of the art of music.
