Authors: Eibel Bruna
Published: August 2023

Introduction and objectives: Classifying elderly people with and without frailty referred to surgery can be a way to prevent, delay or even reverse the syndrome. To compare the clinical and functional profile of elderly people with and without frailty undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of an applied and comparative nature in patients over 60 years of age with advanced ischemic or valvular heart disease. Results: Frail elderly have lower hand grip strength (21.96±6.15), p=0.00; gait speed (5.44±1.53), p=0.04 and self-reported fatigue, with 7 (77.78%), p=0.00. Conclusion: Clinical variables are similar between groups. Handgrip strength, gait speed and self-reported fatigue may be more sensitive to detect frailty in the elderly. Possibly future studies with greater n bring significance to assess frailty or refer patients to prehabilitation before cardiac surgery.

I intend to present a few interesting issues for analysis: We deliver a 20 dB 100 Hz tone for 20 milliseconds. The ear receives it; a low tone has to be enhanced, since such a signal energy is too weak to reach the centre. There are doubts whether here active is only a mechanical amplification through an OHC contraction.

An Autoethnographic Exploration of Depression in Africa
Authors: . Botchway Cynthia N. A
Published: August 2023

While most mental health issues in Africa are viewed as a curse or a form of spiritual attack, and people who suffer from them get discriminated against, depression is somehow viewed as a “luxury sickness”. It is viewed as a sickness for the wealthy or those in the developed world to pamper themselves into doing nothing. It is assumed to be nonexistent in many parts of Africa because it is believed that such situations can easily be mitigated with spiritual help. This autoethnographic study of the lived experience of employment termination that led to depression is used to explore how people in Africa live through, understand, and overcome the phenomenon with limited knowledge and clinical psychological services.

Published: August 2023

Ethnomathematics is one method of learning mathematics that is expected to be another alternative that seeks to make students interested in learning mathematics. Besides being theoretical, ethnomathematics teaches how mathematics may be employed in real-world circumstances. This study aims to understand more about how mathematics is used in the production of traditional Sipirok woven fabrics. The author employed a qualitative research method in this study, and the data was gathered through observation, interviews, and recording. One of the weavers of Sipirok woven fabric provided the sample. According to the findings, there is mathematics in manufacturing Sipirok woven fabric, specifically in the loom used and woven fabric motif. Thus, ethnomathematics can support students' mathematics learning and aid in understanding the teacher's instruction. It is suggested that other researchers study Indonesian cultures that incorporate ethnomathematics, as many unexplored Indonesian cultures remain.

Published: August 2023

Among the dental composites, Urethane Dimethacrylate (UDMA) is commonly used as a component in treating oral complications. Many molecular dynamics approaches are used to understand the behaviour of the material at room temperature as well as at higher temperatures to get a better insight after comparison with experimental values at the atomic level. There are three critical physical properties associated with these components, like abrasive wear, viscosity, and moduli, which play an essential role in determining the treatment and can be computed using the Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS), the general-purpose quantum chemistry program package (ORCA), and the General Utility Lattice Program (GULP) molecular dynamics methods. A radial distribution function plot is generated using visual molecular dynamics (VMD) for UDMA and BisGMA. A comparison of these parameters with BisGMA, another component of dental composites, along with experimental results, is carried out in the present investigation. Further, since radiation also matters for settling the materials in dental treatment, we have computed absorption spectra from 200 nm to 800 nm using LAMMPS/ORCA.

Published: August 2023

Modern baby food is characterized by a marked deterioration in children's eating habits. Unhealthy foods (snacks and sweets) are increasingly appearing in children's diets, and the amount of nutritionally valuable foods (vegetables, fish, etc.) is significantly decreasing. That is why it is important to introduce dishes with a balanced nutritional composition into children's diets.An analysis of research and publications in the field of baby food technology has shown that little attention has been paid to the development of recipes for multicomponent fish dishes for the children's menu of hotel and restaurant business estab-lishments in the scientific literature today.The aim of the article is to substantiate the recipe for children's fish cutlets "Pumpkin" with enrichment with functional ingredients to increase the biological value and improve the organoleptic properties of the finished dish.The recipe of children's fish cutlets "Pumpkin" was developed by completely replacing the main fish raw material in the traditional recipe of amateur fish cakes with cod fillets with the addition of pumpkin purée and completely replacing the aux-iliary raw materials with rye bread, quail eggs, almond milk, olive oil. Samples of the new dish were made, its organoleptic and physicochemical quality indicators were studied, and its biological value was calculated. A comprehensive assessment of the quality of children's fish cutlets "Pumpkin" was carried out using the Harrington method.Fish cutlets for children "Pumpkin" have a simple technological process of preparation and can be included in the children's menu of hotel and restaurant business establishments

Published: August 2023

In this work we demonstrate a photoluminescence-based method to monitor the kinetics of an organohalide reaction by way of detecting released bromide ions at cesium lead halide nanoparticles. Small aliquots of the reaction are added to an assay with known concentrations of CsPbI3, and the resulting Br-to-I halide exchange (HE) results in rapid and sensitive wavelength blue-shifts ( due to CsPbBrxI3-x intermediate concentrations, the wavelengths of which are proportional to concentrations. An assay response factor, C, relates to Br- concentration as a function of CsPbI3 concentration. The observed kinetics, as well as calculated rate constants, equilibrium, and activation energy of the solvolysis reaction tested correspond closely to synthetic literature values, validating the assay. Factors that influence the sensitivity and performance of the assay, such as CsPbI3 size and morphology, and concentration, are discussed.
Toward Benchmark-quality Ab Initio Predictions for 3d Transition Metal Electrocatalysts - A Comparison of CCSD(T) and ph-AFQMC
Authors: Neugebauer Hagen , Vuong Hung T. , Weber John L. , Friesner Richard A. , Shee James , Hansen Andreas
Published: August 2023

Generating accurate ab initio ionization energies for transition metal complexes is an important step towards the accurate computational description of their electrocatalytic reactions. Benchmark-quality data is required for testing existing theoretical methods and for developing new ones but is complicated to obtain for many transition metal compounds due to the potential presence of both strong dynamical and static electron correlation. In this regime, it is questionable whether the so-called gold standard, coupled cluster with singles, doubles, and perturbative triples (CCSD(T)), provides the desired level of accuracy -- roughly 1-3 kcal/mol. In this work, we compiled a test set of 28 3d metal-containing molecules relevant to homogeneous electrocatalysis (termed 3dTMV) and computed their vertical ionization energies (ionization potentials) with CCSD(T) and phaseless auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (ph-AFQMC) in the def2-SVP basis set. A substantial effort has been made to converge away the phaseless bias in the ph-AFQMC reference values. We assess a wide variety of multireference diagnostics, and find that spin-symmetry breaking of the CCSD wavefunction and in the PBE0 density functional correlate well with our analysis of multiconfigurational wavefunctions. We propose quantitative criteria based on symmetry breaking to delineate correlation regimes inside of which appropriately-performed CCSD(T) can produce mean absolute deviations from the ph-AFQMC reference values of roughly 2 kcal/mol or less, and outside of which CCSD(T) is expected to fail. We also present a preliminary assessment of DFT functionals on the 3dTMV set.
Depth-dependent Transformation of ZnO and Ag Nanoparticles in Sulfate-reducing Sediments Tracked using Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy
Authors: Stetten Lucie , Kägi Ralf , Hofmann Thilo , Von Der Kammer Frank
Published: August 2023

Studies on the transformation of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) under relevant environmental exposure scenarios are scarce. In this context, we investigated the use of Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) grids to expose minute amounts of ZnO and Ag nanoparticles (NPs) to artificial and natural aqueous media and follow their transformation using Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy coupled with Energy dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy. Short-term experiments conducted with inorganic sulfides confirmed the potential of using TEM grids to monitor the transformation of ENMs at the single particle level. After 30 min, Ag NPs completely transformed into Ag-sulfides, with Ag:S ratios ≈ 2:1, while ZnO NPs showed little evidence of Zn-sulfides precipitation after 6 hours. Ag and ZnO NPs were also exposed to depth-dependent oxygen and sulfide concentration gradients in freshwater sediment columns. After three days and four weeks, all Ag NPs were transformed into Ag-sulfides with various morphologies and Ag:S ratios, depending on the depth and duration of the exposure. A depth-dependent transformation was also observed for ZnO NPs. At low sulfide concentration, in the first millimeters below the water-sediment interface, ZnO NPs were completely transformed into ZnS harboring empty-shell structures, together with smaller particles in their vicinity. By contrast, ZnO cores persisted in the deeper layers, indicating that ZnO NPs dissolution was inhibited at high sulfide concentrations. Our results demonstrate the advantage of experimental and analytical strategies adapted to study the transformation of ENMs under environmentally relevant conditions, to unravel transformation rates and end-products not yet considered in risk assessment studies.

Published: August 2023

The article describes major milestones in acknowledgment of pathophysiological relationship between heart and kidneys since Ancient Egypt till our time and history of term cardiorenal syndrome (CRS). First references about kidney and heart functions could be dated to 13 BC when Hippocrates mentioned them. In the XIV century Gentile da Foligno proposed a hypothesis about functional interconnection between heart and kidneys. In the XVIII century Richard Bright described the link between myocardial hypertrophy and kidneys diseases. Frederic Justin Collet was the first one who used the term cardiorenal in his article in 1903. In Russia, I.I. Stolnikov conducted his experiments about myocardial hypertrophy and kidneys ischemia in 1880. Famous Russian internist, E.M. Tareev, devoted several paragraphs to cardiorenal interactions in his fundamental manuals Anemia in Brights disease (1929) and Hypertension (1948). The research on this topic was continued by Tareevs followers: N.A. Mukhin, V.S. Moiseev, more recent successors Zh.D. Kobalava, S.V. Moiseev, V.V. Fomin, S.V. Villevalde and others. Their contribution resulted in development of first Russian clinical guidelines on cardio and nephroprotection in CRS in 2014. In 2008 consensus of Acute Disease Quality Initiative summarized current experience on CRS. Today, research on controversial classification questions, biomarkers and other aspects of CRS continues.

Published: August 2023

FabryAndersen disease is a genetically determined, progressive disease related to lysosomal storage diseases, linked to the X chromosome, characterized by impaired glycosphingolipid metabolism, due to the deficiency or absence of the enzyme -galactosidase A. Fabry disease is a multisystem disease and is characterized by damage to vital organs kidneys, heart, brain, with the occurrence of complications that cause an unfavorable prognosis. Autoinflammation mechanisms with signs of chronic inflammation are involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. One of the features of Fabry disease are clinical manifestations in the form of arthralgia, fever, skin lesions, which are similar to rheumatological diseases. The article presents a clinical observation of the classical type of Fabry disease with multiple organ manifestation, which required differential diagnosis with rheumatological diseases. Rheumatologists are specialists who are involved in the early diagnosis of Fabry disease, so they should have a high awareness of this sphingolipidosis.
Nephrotic syndrome during pregnancy. Is it chronic glomerulonephritis or preeclampsia? Case report

Published: August 2023

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) during pregnancy is a fairly rare pathology and its descriptions in the literature are few. For a long time, NS was associated only with an exacerbation of chronic glomerulonephritis or de novo nephritis, however, the experience of recent years has shown that NS can be a manifestation of the classical obstetric pathology preeclampsia (PE). The appearance of massive proteinuria with the development of NS is most typical for early PE, which, of course, makes diagnosis difficult, especially if PE develops at an unusually early time (up to 20 weeks). To describe PE that does not fit into the classical criteria, the term atypical PE is now used, the development of which can be promoted by both obstetric and somatic risk factors. The presented clinical observation describes the development of early (within 14 weeks) severe PE with the NS at the onset of the disease in a patient with the first multiple pregnancy and complete hydatidiform mole (HM) of one of the fetuses. The progression of nephropathy with the addition of thrombotic microangiopathy and HELLP syndrome made it possible to assume the diagnosis of PE with a high probability. The rapid relief of all clinical manifestations after delivery confirmed this assumption. The role of HM as the main trigger of unusually early PE is discussed. Apparently, the patient's trophoblast disease in the form of hydatidiform mole caused the formation of a severe angiogenic imbalance already in the early stages of pregnancy, which led to the development of PE, which manifested NS as a consequence of podocytopathy due to VEGF deficiency. Thus, the development of NS in a pregnant patient without a history of kidney disease dictates, first of all, the exclusion of PE, until proven otherwise.

Spatiotemporal evaluation of Rayleigh surface wave estimated from roadside dark fiber DAS array and traffic noise
Authors: Czarny Rafał , Zhu Tieyuan , Shen Junzhu
Published: August 2023

Seismic imaging and monitoring of the near-surface structure are crucial for the sustainable development of urban areas. However, standard seismic surveys based on cabled or autonomous geophone arrays are expensive and hard to adapt to noisy metropolitan environments. Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) with pre-existing telecom fiber optic cables, together with seismic ambient noise interferometry, have the potential to fulfill this gap. However, a detailed noise wavefield characterization is needed before retrievingcoherent waves from chaotic noise sources. We analyze local seismic ambient noise by tracking five-month changes in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of Rayleigh surface wave estimated from traffic noise recorded by DAS along the straight university campus busy road. We apply the seismic interferometry method to the 800 m long part of the Penn State Fiber-Optic For Environment Sensing (FORESEE) array. We evaluate the 160 virtual shot gathers (VSGs) by determining the SNR using the slant-stack technique. We observe strong SNR variations in time and space. We notice higher SNR for virtual source points close to road obstacles. The spatial noise distribution confirms that noise energy focuses mainly on bumps and utility holes. We also see the destructive impact of precipitation, pedestrian traffic, and traffic along main intersections on VSGs. A similar processing workflow can be applied to various straight roadside fiber optic arrays in metropolitan areas.
A Msp1-containing complex removes orphaned proteins in the mitochondrial outer membrane ofT. brucei

Published: August 2023

The AAA-ATPase Msp1 extracts mislocalised outer membrane proteins and thus contributes to mitochondrial proteostasis. Using pulldown experiments, we show that trypanosomal Msp1 localises to both glycosomes and the mitochondrial outer membrane, where it forms a complex with four outer membrane proteins. The trypanosome-specific pATOM36 mediates complex assembly of α-helically anchored mitochondrial outer membrane proteins such as protein translocase subunits. Inhibition of their assembly triggers a pathway that results in the proteasomal digestion of unassembled substrates. Using inducible single, double, and triple RNAi cell lines combined with proteomic analyses, we demonstrate that not only Msp1 but also the trypanosomal homolog of the AAA-ATPase VCP are implicated in this quality control pathway. Moreover, in the absence of VCP three out of the four Msp1-interacting mitochondrial proteins are required for efficient proteasomal digestion of pATOM36 substrates, suggesting they act in concert with Msp1. pATOM36 is a functional analog of the yeast mitochondrial import complex complex and possibly of human mitochondrial animal-specific carrier homolog 2, suggesting that similar mitochondrial quality control pathways linked to Msp1 might also exist in yeast and humans.

Los modelos 2011, 2013 y 2015 fueron creados a partir de LiDAR ALS y el correspondiente al 2022 a partir de vuelos UAV. Estos modelos fueron normalizados con un datum de referencia vertical y horizontal en común. Posteriormente se aplicó una corrección geométrica, utilizando el método de co-registro Nuth y Kääb el cual corrige errores horizontales y verticales de los MDE´s ajustándolos a uno referencial, en este estudio fue el MDE 2013. Obteniendo precisiones ±3.55 metros para el 2011, ±0.94 metros en el 2015 y ±0.40 metros en 2022. Posteriormente se calculó la diferencia de elevación superficial y tasa de adelgazamiento, en el periodo completo 2011-2022, se obtuvo una tasa de adelgazamiento de -7.63±0.06 ma-1 sobre la lengua principal del glaciar Universidad. Posteriormente, con un test de residuos se midió el comportamiento de los cambios de elevación superficial en función de la elevación, encontrando que existe un gradiente altitudinal positivo en las tasas de cambio.

Authors:   , Muñoz Gutiérrez Joel
Published: August 2023

La agencia europea del medicamento, EMA, y la estadounidense FDA, propusieron límites de bioequivalencia escalada de referencia (RSABE), las cuales estan definidas en función de la variabilidad, ambas son funciones poco regulares y los contrastes de hipótesis de RSABE asociados, tienen problemas de control del error de tipo I. La propuesta de tesis es proponer para el caso de la FDA, límites de bioequivalencia mas regulares y comprender desde un punto de vista inferencial los efectos de su uso.
Caracterización del sistema oxitocinérgico y tiroideo en explantes placentarios humanos según tipo de parto.

Published: August 2023

La Oxitocina y la L-Tiroxina son dos hormonas fundamentales durante el embarazo y el parto. Existe evidencia de un incremento de ambas hormonas y de sus respectivos receptores de membrana expresados en placenta, conforme avanza la gestación. Y, además, existen diferencias en los niveles hormonales de acuerdo con el tipo de parto cursado. Sin embargo, su función y mecanismos de señalización en el tejido placentario aún son desconocidos. El objetivo general de esta investigación fue caracterizar el sistema oxitocinérgico y tiroideo en explantes placentarios humanos según el tipo de parto.
La Nación, la Ley y el Rey: representaciones del poder e imaginarios políticos de la Revolución Francesa como una expresión de hierofanía (1789-1791).
Authors:   , Ventura Rojas José
Published: August 2023

La presente investigación corresponde a un estudio de las representaciones del poder político durante la primera etapa de la Revolución Francesa (1789-1791) como una expresión de hierofanía (manifestación de lo sagrado en una realidad profana). Partiendo de la afirmación realizada por Alexis de Tocqueville, acerca de que estamos frente a una revolución política que procedió a la manera de una revolución religiosa, pretendemos analizar cómo se consolidaron las representaciones iconográficas (especialmente los grabados que circularon en el periodo) y los imaginarios políticos de “la Nación”, “la Ley” y “el Rey”, ilustradas en las figuras alegóricas de “La Francia” y el “Gallo galo” (por ejemplo), de una manera hierofánica. Abordaremos a “la Nación” como un elemento central dentro de un nuevo “cosmos” político y “sagrado”, elaborado desde la Asamblea Nacional Constituyente, que toma aspectos del cristianismo, del deísmo masónico y de la estética de la Antigüedad clásica. Nuestro análisis pretende ser un aporte a la comprensión del fenómeno revolucionario y su intento de transformar la sociedad del Antiguo Régimen mediante una lógica religiosa, y el proceso simultáneo de “descristianización”. La naturaleza de nuestra propuesta nos permite tomar elementos teóricos y metodológicos de la historia de las religiones y de la antropología histórica respectivamente. Como fuentes principales emplearemos las imágenes y documentos disponibles en el French Revolution Digital Archive (FRDA) y en la Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF).

Introduction: Ovarian fibroma is a rare tumor representing 1 to 4% of all ovarian tumours, poses a diagnostic problem preoperatively to assess their benign or malignant character, especially if associated with Demons Meigs syndrome.Clinically can be complicated making an array of surgical emergency.Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) is more effective in diagnosing fibroids ovarian.Its treatment is surgical and the anatomopathological study confirms the diagnosis. Presentation of the cases: 1) a 62-year-old patient admitted for chronic pelvic pain in whom examination finds a hypogastric arch with slight pelvic tenderness, pelvic ultrasound objectified a pelvic mass of 10 cm heterogeneous, in pre vesico uterine and on MRI a bulky mass above the bladder of strongly ovarian origin evoking a fibrothecoma ovarian. The patient underwent a laparotomy with the discovery of a mass 10 cm in the right appendix with performance of an adnexectomy and the anatomopathological examination returned in favor of ovarian fibrothecoma. 2) a 45-year-old patient consults in the emergency room for intense pelvic pain, the examination finds a defense at the level of the right iliac fossa with perception of a mass firm, on pelvic ultrasound: the fallopian tube is the seat of a hydrosalpinx with an image 7 cm hypoechogenic, BHCG negative, benefited from a mini laparotomy with discovery of a solid mass of 8x6 cm attached to the fallopian tube and the right ovary with two towers of turns, we carried out a detorsion then a resection of the mass and the examination pathology came back in favor of ovarian fibrothecoma Conclusion: Ovarian fibroids are rare benign tumors, their diagnosis is based first on the clinic supplemented by explorations radiological especially ultrasound and in some cases MRI.Nevertheless, the diagnosis definitive is histological.

Healthcare workers worldwide have been stretched thin and
pushed beyond their limits in the years since the onset of
the Covid-19 pandemic. In one comparison of 27 industries,
healthcare ranked last for employee satisfaction, and hospitals
were ranked among the lowest in satisfaction by consumers.
But employee burnout, dissatisfaction and turnover were
simmering issues long before Covid-19 brought them to a boiling
point. If healthcare workers don’t feel cared for or valued
themselves, how can they be expected to provide empathetic,
personalised care for their patients?
