Contra todo pronóstico. El papel de la contingencia en el camino al poder de Chávez y el movimiento bolivariano en Venezuela
Authors: Gauna PH. D. Aníbal
Published: September 2023

En este artículo se muestra, a través de la microestructuración de su camino al poder, que la llegada de Chávez y el movimiento bolivariano al Gobierno de Venezuela estuvo marcada por el efecto de la contingencia. A partir de entrevistas a actores clave realizadas por periodistas e historiadores, se presenta una historia analítica que evidencia cinco dinámicas contingentes: el impacto positivo del golpe de febrero de 1992 en la opinión pública, la formación de una particular coalición revolucionaria, los descuidos por parte de la inteligencia militar, la posibilidad de redimir el fracaso militar que se le dio a Chávez, y la apertura electoral en el sistema político para los outsiders. Se concluye que hubo cinco elementos que pavimentaron este camino: la estrategia del liderazgo del movimiento, el árbol de las tres raíces, el esprit de corps dentro de las Fuerzas Armadas, las redes de conocidos de Hugo Chávez y la radicalización del faccionalismo del sistema de partidos.
Aproximación al análisis de políticas del sector ambiente y agricultura desde la perspectiva de género
Authors: Cornejo Lobo Rebeca Ivonne
Published: September 2023

El presente artículo analiza cuatro políticas del sector ambiente y tres del sector agricultura relacionadas con la igualdad de género. Ambas entidades convergen en su impacto en los medios de vida de la población, especialmente de aquellas poblaciones que dependen directamente de los recursos naturales para su sustento. Desde la década de 1990, el Perú suscribió los acuerdos de la Plataforma de Acción de Beijing asumiendo el compromiso de erradicar las brechas de género y toda forma de discriminación por sexo, así como asegurar que todas sus intervenciones incorporasen la perspectiva de género. A partir de ese momento se fortaleció la institucionalidad de género en el Estado. A pesar de este avance, los resultados de las políticas analizadas de ambos sectores muestran que no integran adecuadamente el enfoque de género, en algunos casos hay confusión conceptual del término al suponerse como sinónimo de mujeres, y hay muy poca referencia del marco internacional y nacional en materia de género.
Carne para Grajos: arqueología del campo de concentración franquista de Casa del Guarda, 1938-1939 (Guadalajara, España)
Authors: Ruiz Casero Luis A. , González Ruibal Alfredo
Published: September 2023

En el siguiente artículo se exponen los resultados de la intervención arqueológica y la investigación en archivos y sobre fuentes orales en torno a uno de los centenares de espacios de reclusión que la dictadura franquista habilitó en España: el campo de Casa del Guarda, en Jadraque (provincia de Guadalajara). Funcionó en primer lugar como campamento de trabajadores forzados durante la Guerra Civil española, y después como campo de concentración provisional al inmediato término de la misma. Llegó a albergar a cerca de cinco mil prisioneros en su última etapa, procedentes de la desintegración de las fuerzas armadas de la II República Española. La investigación ha permitido reconstruir su cronología y la vida cotidiana de los internos, conocer en detalle su distribución espacial, recuperar elementos pertenecientes a prisioneros y guardianes, y visibilizar su historia.
Hacer un lugar desde los bordes del sur: arqueología en Chile, memoria y pasado-presente de las dictaduras
Authors: Fuenzalida Nicole
Published: September 2023

En Chile, el giro hacia el pasado se asocia directamente a las formas que adquieren las diversas elaboraciones del pasado dictatorial, especialmente en relación con la conversión de los lugares donde aconteció el horror en sitios de memorias. La arqueología se insertó allí en el acompañamiento de estos procesos protagonizados por los colectivos que administran los espacios. El objetivo de este trabajo se dirige a problematizar el lugar de enunciación disciplinar y personal de la arqueología de dictaduras, en los aspectos éticos y políticos que se delinean de la convivencia con marcos de violencia estructurales y luchas lideradas por sobrevivientes y testigos. Para atender a ello, se entregan datos del contexto disciplinar chileno desde un eje histórico y se exponen algunos de los proyectos arqueológicos desarrollados en esta perspectiva. Gran parte de la exposición aboga por dar cuenta de la importancia de vincular esta práctica arqueológica a los escenarios políticos actuales, al establecerse como recurso para actualizar el debate sobre la memoria de la violencia política contemporánea.
Arqueologías y lugares de memorias en los Andes peruanos: una visión diacrónica desde la arquitectura
Authors: Guzmán Juárez Miguel
Published: September 2023

Se exploran las trayectorias y miradas que se construyen sobre los lugares de memorias en los Andes peruanos, donde los diferentes grupos sociales materializaron sentires, conocimientos y urgencias temporales mediante acciones rituales, organizaciones espaciales y símbolos en el paisaje recreado. La sacralidad de los espacios adquiere una dimensión especial en las trayectorias y transformaciones desde lo precolonial, donde la ancestralidad y sus palabras, conceptos y sistemas de pensamiento adquieren renovadas vigencias hasta la contemporaneidad. Se trata de un análisis diacrónico de las experiencias espaciales que se desarrollaron y se desarrollan en edificios, asentamientos y territorios, a partir de casos específicos y relevantes. Se postula que la arquitectura, desde sus diferentes dominios —espacial, temporal y social—, articula configuraciones, imágenes y experiencias que constituyen las bases para generar complejos espacios de memorias, en sintonía con lo cotidiano, lo subalterno y la otredad.
The Need for a Standard Outcome for Clinical Deterioration in Children’s Hospitals
Authors: Galligan Meghan M. , Sosa Tina , Dewan Maya
Published: September 2023

Unrecognized clinical deterioration is a common and significant source of preventable harm to hospitalized children. Yet, unlike other sources of preventable harm, clinical deterioration outside of the ICU lacks a clear, “gold standard” outcome to guide prevention efforts. This gap limits multicenter learning, which is crucial for identifying effective and generalizable interventions for harm prevention. In fact, to date, no coordinated safety/quality initiative currently exists targeting prevention of harm from unrecognized clinical deterioration in hospitalized pediatric patients, which is startling given the morbidity and mortality risk patients incur. In this article, we compare existing outcomes for evaluating clinical deterioration outside of the ICU, highlighting sources of variation and vulnerability. The broader aim of this article is to highlight the need for a standard, consensus outcome for evaluating clinical deterioration outside of the ICU, which is a critical first step to preventing this type of harm.

Published: September 2023

O artigo analisou as principais normas legais, Constituição Federal (CF/1988), Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educacional (LDB 9394/96), no que tange a infraestrutura e insumos escolares. O objetivo é evidenciar os espaços escolares e inferir como a carência da infraestrutura e recursos pedagógicos impactam na aprendizagem dos estudantes. É apresentado fragmentos históricos dos filósofos e estudiosos no âmbito da educação, na perspectiva dos espaços da escola. A arquitetura escolar a que nos referimos neste artigo é estabelecida por legislações e políticas públicas que regem a educação do Brasil e impõe padrões mínimos de infraestrutura adequada aos espaços escolares. A partir da análise de dados do Censo Escolar (2020) se percebeu que a infraestrutura escolar tem apresentado evoluções, porém questionáveis quanto à qualidade proposta pelos documentos legais, sendo necessário a promoção de políticas públicas eficientes, isto é, que tenham correta aplicabilidade nos espaços escolares, com o intuito de promover a construção de ambientes educacionais melhores estruturados.

Authors: Karimullah Suud Sarim
Published: September 2023

This study aims to understand the role of Islamic law in empowering youth and its impact on protecting children's rights in a social context by analyzing the challenges and opportunities that exist in defending children's rights within the framework of Islamic law. The literature study method is used by collecting information from relevant sources such as books, journals, and related documents. The results show that Islamic law provides a robust framework for each child to contribute to society through values such as Justice, balance, and social responsibility. Implementing children's rights in Islamic law creates holistic growth and positive social change. Educational institutions, families, communities, and the state are essential in upholding the child's rights. Despite challenges such as diverse interpretations, gender imbalances, and social problems, opportunities lie in the flexibility of Islamic law and the involvement of activists and civic organizations. By optimally utilizing the role of Islamic law, involving all parties, and overcoming existing challenges, there can be sustainable social transformation and fulfillment of children's rights within the framework of Islamic law.
Hope, engaged pedagogy, and educating teachers as transformative intellectuals
Authors: Rubin Jessica Cira , Virtue Katie Arihia
Published: September 2023

In this commentary article, the authors discuss the significance of conceptualising teacher education as critical, intellectual work both for student teachers and the educators who support their professional learning. As former classroom teachers and current researchers and teacher educators, the authors position the current socio-political landscape in Aotearoa New Zealand as concerning for the field of education, but also recognise that in moments of upheaval there are opportunities for hope and change. Rather than allowing shrinking resources to narrow our scope, we believe it is a significant moment to assert a belief that all students in Aotearoa deserve to be taught by engaged, transformative educators.
Factors of engagement: Secondary Pasifika student learning
Authors: Fistonich Micaela
Published: September 2023

Education within Aotearoa has not effectively engaged Pasifika students (Ministry of Education, 2023a), and has led to Pasifika students being less likely to continue to tertiary level education (Ministry of Education, 2023b). This review focuses on the published literature about factors that improve the conditions of schooling in Aotearoa to facilitate higher levels of engagement in Pasifika students. For this paper, 20 studies that were carried out in Aotearoa secondary schools with Pasifika students were collected. These studies were then analysed to understand what factors increased their engagement in secondary school. The findings suggest that student-teacher relationships, teachers’ perceptions of Pasifika students, and effective implementation of culturally responsive pedagogies have the greatest impact on Pasifika student engagement in their secondary school career.
How is health education being taught and experienced? A literature review
Authors: Thorp Shona Lee
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this review was to analyse qualitative studies on health education and highlight how it is taught within the classroom, including the implicit messages about health expressed and the particular pedagogies embraced. Connected to this, post-primary student experiences in health education are explored. Reviewed literature included qualitative and peer-reviewed research from 2009 to 2022. Despite some of this research stemming from international contexts, the resulting findings and discussions presented will directly relate to health education in Aotearoa New Zealand. The review revealed the persistence of two dominant and somewhat contradictory themes: dependence on fear- and risk-based discourses, and the utilisation of critical pedagogy. The review also highlighted a discrepancy between junior and senior health education. Implications for educators, future research and teacher education programmes are also discussed with a focus on the Aotearoa New Zealand context. This review will lend itself to broadening the pedagogical approaches taken by health educators and the effects these have on student experiences.
Evaluating the establishment of a new water hyacinth biological control agent in South Africa
Authors: Miller Benjamin , Coetzee Julie , Hill Martin
Published: September 2023

Megamelus scutellaris Berg (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) is the most recent of nine biological control agents developed to manage invasive water hyacinth, Pontederia (=Eichhornia) crassipes Mart. (Pontederiaceae), in South Africa. More than a million M. scutellaris have been mass-reared and released since the first introduction of the agent into South Africa in 2013, successfully establishing overwintering populations at 32 sites in seven of the nine provinces. Establishment has also been recorded at seven of these sites through natural dispersal from sites where they had established. Inundative releases, where large numbers of M. scutellaris are released regularly, have resulted in excellent establishment, and caused a significant reduction in water hyacinth cover in areas where, historically, biological control seemed unlikely due to excessive eutrophication. Although M. scutellaris has established well throughout South Africa through classical biological control methods, this study also showed that inundative releases of biological control agents over multiple seasons results in the most effective control of the weed, especially at cool temperate and eutrophic sites.

Quasi-Formal Entities and Dialogue Formatsin International Climate Governance
Authors:   MGIMO University, Bliznetskaya Ekaterina
Published: September 2023

In recent years there was a significant of international structures that are being created as platforms for multilateral policydialogue on climate change issues outside the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).Such structures are, for example, the Major Economies Forum (MEF), the Petersberg Climate Dialogue, the on CleanEnergy Ministerial and a wide variety of partnerships. There is no common definition for such formats of cooperation andconceptual ground for understanding their place in international climate governance system. This includes both traditionalinterstate cooperation mechanisms embodied by the UNFCCC, as well as non-state initiatives, climate finance institutions,formats that support a constant dialogue between states, business representatives, academia, and NGOs on climate policyissues. The aim of the study was to clarify the nature of quasi-formal climate governance, to establish a typology and assessof the dynamics of development of quasi-formal entities to better understand the processes of its formation and implementation.I describe three types of quasi-formal entities from the new dataset of quasi-formal entities created in the period from2001–2022: intergovernmental forums, UNFCCC party groupings, and hybrid partnerships. The study reveals an increasein the number of political forums and hybrid partnerships amid stabilization or even reduction of negotiating blocs within theUNFCCC. In complex system of international climate governance, quasi-formal entities are playing an increasing role inthe accumulation and exchange of knowledge and experience between states on the implementation of the Paris Agreement.
Open Balkan: А New International Organization or an UnsustainableInitiative?
Authors:   Center for Eurasian Studies at the Institute of International Politics and Economics, Belgrade, Prorokovich Dushan , Entina katerina ,   HSE University
Published: September 2023

With the Western Balkansʼ European integration completely stalled and its future uncertain, a new regional initiative waslaunched by Albania, Serbia and North Macedonia. Initially called Mini Schengen, it grew into the Open Balkan with anambitious goal to form a single market with unhindered movement of people, goods, services, and capital. Despite activeinvolvement of state leaders, the initiative lacks transparency, legal frameworks, and concrete plans to fulfill the strategicvision. It is also difficult to expect it to grow into a classic international organization given the failure to form an implementationbody. In addition, the U.S. only conditionally supports the Open Balkan by demanding the inclusion of all six WesternBalkan actors (which in practice proves to be impossible), while the European Union (EU) only cautiously welcomes activitiesleading to further regional integration, given that it initiated the competing Berlin process in 2014.This article examines the internal and external sustainability of the Open Balkan initiative, its prerequisites, andits projects. It also argues that without support from the U.S. and the EU, an authentic regional integration in the WesternBalkans is hardly feasible. Inter alia, the three countries have modest institutional capacities and incomparably small powerpotential.
TRANSnationalizing STS: Places, Spaces, and Politics
Authors: Kaşdoğan Duygu , Okune Angela
Published: September 2023

Why, how, and for whom does it matter to walk through, attend and attune to plural and complex STS places/spaces? By building on the STS Across Borders and Innovating STS exhibits held at 4S 2018 and 2019 meetings, this thematic collection unpacks this question and explores the potentials of TRANSnational STS as a methodological orientation in these uncertain times, in a world where technoscientific knowledges and practices are constantly instrumentalized, reproducing colonial, imperialist, racist, nationalist and toxic relationships. The landscape of analysis in curating this thematic collection begins with the places of STS; this can be either a place where an STS meeting is held, an institution where STS scholars do research and teaching, or a formation that brings people together for social studies of science and technology. We invite readers to slowly walk through such a landscape, observing in detail particular places of STS. The contributors to this thematic collection highlight the importance of thinking and theorizing by starting with lived experiences, investigating each phenomenon within its own reality, and creating and conserving spaces for plurality with responsibility and care. Recognizing that reality is multi-layered, and thus needs a plurality of perspectives, the invitation to think about STS theories and practices through the analytic of place is about opening and holding collaborative spaces for ongoing discussions over the politics of STS without reproducing a form of methodological nationalism. This introductory essay presents what we have learned over the last four years navigating in and through TRANSnational STS places/spaces and constitutes one stop in our journey to slow down, reflect on, and share what it means to TRANSnationalize STS. With this collection, we hope to open a public space in ESTS to continue thinking collectively about potential new pathways for the future of the field.

Introduction. Thyroid cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the endocrine system and comprises 33 % of malignant neoplasms of the head and neck. first echelon lymph nodes affected by this pathology are located in the central area of the neck. The metastatic process further advances into the lymph nodes in the lateral tissues of the neck. Currently, there is no consensus on the effectiveness of prophylactic central lymph node dissection and no conclusive criteria determining the risk of recurrence in the central zone.

Aim. The assessment of factors influencing the risk of regional recurrence in the central zone.

Materials and methods. The study included 30 patients with highly differentiated thyroid cancer, in whom metastatic nodes in the central zone were identified and verified during primary treatment. All patients previously underwent unilateral or 2-sided central lymph node dissection in various institutions. During the period of dynamic observation, these patients revealed regional recurrence in the central zone. patients were observed and treated for recurrence at the National medical Research Center of Oncology named after N.N. Blokhin of the ministry of Health of Russia.

Results. primary surgical treatment in a specialized oncological institution was performed in 21 (70 %) patients, in a general surgical medical institution – in 7 (23.3 %), in an endocrinological institution – in 2 (6.7 %) patients. when assessing the influence of the morphological type and variant of thyroid cancer on the risk of developing regional recurrence,  no  statistical  significance  was  found.  No  statistically  significant  factors  were  found  in  the  analysis  of  the influence of characteristics of the primary tumor, such as tumor size, multifocal lesion, vascular invasion, extrathyroidal spread, on the risk of regional recurrence. In 16 (53.3 %) patients, recurrence occurred in the paratracheal zone of the ipsilateral side, in 7 (23.3 %) patients in the paratracheal zone of the contralateral side, bilateral lesions were observed in 2 (6.67 %) cases. 3 (10 %) patients were diagnosed with transient parathyroid insufficiency, 1 (3.3 %) – permanent parathyroid insufficiency, 1 (3.3 %) – hematoma in the area of the postoperative wound, patient, 2 (6.6 %) – injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve.

Conclusion. Residual metastatic lymph nodes after previous surgical treatment are the reason for performing a second operation, which carries both the risks of postoperative complications and the psychological burden on the patient. Thus, an adequate and radically performed primary surgical intervention is the key to reducing regional recurrences.

Freshness and quality of fruits and vegetables as well as product saleable weight depend on heat and moisture transfer rate during air-cooling in the cool storages. The main objective of this study was to evaluate and develop a validated CFD model for predicting the temperature and velocity fields in a cold storage. In this study the air temperature, velocity, and non-uniform airflow in cold storage have been studied experimentally and numerically. Experimental and numerical models were employed to investigate cold storage's airflow field, flow pattern, and temperature field. The temperature and the velocity fields were measured in the cold storage filled with two potato pallets by using a hot wire anemometer and thermocouple with a programmable data logger computer. The experimental data was recorded at 60 points of temperature, and 27 points of velocity from three levels; high, middle, and bottom. Numerically the SB (Solid Block) technique was used to assess four turbulence models (Standard k-ε, Realizable k-ε, Standard k-ω, and SST k-ω) to compare with the experimental results for validation. The results of the validation were agreed with the experimental. The comparisons between the numerical results and experimental results revealed that the Shear Stress Transport (SST k-ω) model shows the best performance with the smallest absolute errors for temperature and velocity respectively. As well as the results revealed that the bottom and the top of the room was subjected to fresher and cooler air with relatively higher velocity. According to the study validation and finding, using the SST k-ω model is the best model for investigation in a cold storage, and for the improvement and evaluation of more complex cold storage, to achieve the balance distributions of air velocity, air temperature, and other heat transfer phenomena.

Published: September 2023

Apesar de as avaliações fisiológicas em competições favorecerem a um monitoramento preciso e a uma prescrição bem elaborada do treinamento, pouco se sabe a respeito das respostas físicas e fisiológicas do karate kumite, bem como da influência no desempenho dos atletas. Portanto, o objetivo do estudo foi analisar o efeito do karate kumite em parâmetros fisiológicos e preditores de esforço. Em um desenho pré-experimental (pré-teste/pós-teste), 12 atletas de elite e subelite de karate kumite (média±DP; idade: 23±5 anos; massa corporal: 64,2±7,4 kg; estatura: 171,4±4,7 cm) foram submetidos a medidas de frequência cardíaca (FC, repouso, pré-luta e pós-luta), percepção subjetiva de esforço (PSE, pós-luta) e salto horizontal (SH, pré-luta e pós-luta). Os efeitos físicos e fisiológicos do karate kumite foram verificados por meio de uma luta oficial de 3 minutos. Os testes t de Student pareado e Wilcoxon foram utilizados para comparar, respectivamente, a FC e o SH (repouso/pré-luta vs. pós-luta). O coeficiente Rho de Spearman foi calculado para verificar a correlação entre FC e PSE. Para todas as análises, foi considerado o nível de significância de 5% (P<0,05). O tamanho do efeito (TE) foi expresso pelo d de Cohen. Os resultaram apontaram uma elevação da FC pré-luta vs. pós-luta (125±12 vs. 192±5 bpm; TE= 12,1), com concomitante redução de, aproximadamente, 6% na distância do SH (TE= 3,8; P<0,05). A PSE foi reportada como “Difícil”, contudo, sem evidências de correlação com a FC (Rho= 0,081; P= 0,803) ou com a %FCMAX (Rho= 0,162; P= 0,616). Conclui-se que uma luta de 3 minutos promoveu alterações hemodinâmicas e de desempenho em atletas de karate kumite.

Authors: Figueirêdo Márcio Souza , Silva Glaydes Nely Sousa
Published: September 2023

A redefinição das políticas públicas de saúde voltadas a atenção das urgências e emergências no Brasil levou a implantação, do Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência em 2003, objetivando chegar precocemente à vítima, prestando atendimento e/ou transporte adequado para um serviço do Sistema Único de Saúde. Frente ao serviço, tem-se observado o aumento de atendimentos a vítimas de acidentes de trânsito, especialmente motociclistas. Assim, objetivou-se caracterizar os acidentes de trânsito com motocicletas, atendidos pelo serviço móvel de urgência da 1ª Região de saúde da Paraíba/Brasil. Metodologicamente, tratou-se de um estudo descritivo, retrospectivo, documental com abordagem quantitativa, realizado no Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência de João Pessoa, capital paraibana. Os dados foram coletados através de formulário pré-estabelecido, com dez variáveis que abordaram a descrição dos sujeitos, dos acidentes, do atendimento e da clínica dos envolvidos. A análise se deu por estatística descritiva, com representação gráfica. O estudo obedeceu aos preceitos éticos, sendo aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa da Faculdade Nova Esperança. Verificou-se que foram atendidas 1.552 vítimas de acidentes de trânsito por motocicleta. Considerando apenas o município de João Pessoa/PB, o número de acidentes foi de 1.270. O perfil de indivíduos envolvidos nos acidentes remete a maioria de homens (80,5%), com idade média de 33 anos. A natureza dos acidentes mais prevalente foi a colisão entre carro e moto (70%); com gravidade moderada (80%) e atendidas pelas Unidades de Suporte Básico de vida (70,7%). As ocorrências aconteceram principalmente nos meses de janeiro e maio (18%) e nas sextas-feiras (17%). Assim, entende-se que o estudo alcançou os objetivos pretendidos, embora a falta de alguns registros ou informações incompletas nas fichas de atendimento tenha dificultado uma caracterização mais apurada dos acidentes. Recomenda-se a realização de outros estudos que envolvam a caracterização anual dos acidentes a fim de melhorar as inferências.
Investigation into defect image segmentation algorithms for galvanised steel sheets under texture backgrounds

Published: September 2023

Image segmentation is a significant step in image analysis and computer vision. Many entropy-based approaches have been presented on this topic. Among them, Tsallis entropy is one of the best-performing methods. In this paper, the surface defect images of galvanised steel sheets were
studied. A two-dimensional asymmetric Tsallis cross-entropy image segmentation algorithm based on chaotic bee colony algorithm optimisation was used to investigate the segmentation of surface defects under complex texture backgrounds. On the basis of Tsallis entropy threshold segmentation,
a more concise expression form was used to define the asymmetric Tsallis cross-entropy in order to reduce the calculation complexity of the algorithm. The chaotic algorithm was combined with the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm to construct the chaotic bee colony algorithm, so that the
optimal threshold of Tsallis entropy could be quickly identified. The experimental results showed that compared with the maximum Shannon entropy algorithm, the calculation time of this algorithm decreased by about 58% and the threshold value increased by about (26%, 54%). Compared with the
two-dimensional Tsallis cross-entropy algorithm, the calculation time of this algorithm decreased by about 35% and about 20% was improved in the g-axis direction only. Compared with the two-dimensional asymmetric Tsallis cross-entropy algorithm, the calculation time of this algorithm decreased
by about 30% and the threshold values of the two algorithms were almost the same. The algorithm proposed in this paper can rapidly and effectively segment defect targets, making it a more suitable method for detecting surface defects in factories with a rapid production pace.
Automatic defect detection in a steel sample using frequency-modulated thermal wave imaging
Authors: Ahmad J , Mulaveesala R
Published: September 2023

Non-stationary thermal wave imaging (NSTWI) techniques are primarily used to assess material properties and structural integrity without damaging a structure. Frequency-modulated thermal wave imaging (FMTWI) is a well-known NSTWI approach that uses a low-peak power heat source to examine
structures in a reasonable experimentation time. Recently, various methods, such as pulse compression, Fourier transform, principal component analysis (PCA) and independent component analysis (ICA), have been introduced to handle the non-linearity of transient thermal signatures. However,
handling non-linearity and developing a fully automatic defect detection system remains very challenging due to certain limitations of the aforementioned methods. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes an artificial neural network (ANN) for the identification of subsurface flaws in
a mild steel sample investigated using the FMTWI approach. The accuracy and the performance of the proposed neural network (NN) are evaluated through a confusion matrix and region of convergence (ROC) analysis for the classification of defective and healthy pixels in an infrared image sequence.
The developed NN model has achieved 99.7% accuracy in classifying the pixels correctly.
Finite element analysis of magnetomechanical coupling behaviour of perforated steel plate
Authors: Zhang Fuchen , Sun Zecheng
Published: September 2023

In this paper, finite element analysis is carried out for the stress of a 45# steel specimen with a round hole and its correlation with a magnetic signal. The leakage magnetic field signals of the specimen under different loads are obtained. The results show that the greater the
tensile stress is, the greater the stress is at 2 mm above the round hole, and the permeability first increases and then decreases with the increase in stress. The leakage magnetic field signal is correlated with permeability and the tangential component of the magnetic flux leakage signal
has a trend of increasing first and then decreasing. The phenomenon of zero crossing of the normal component of the leakage magnetic field signal appears.

Published: September 2023

Abstract Patellofemoral knee pain is one of the most common complaints among runners. This study has as objective to verify if patellofemoral pain (PFP) is related to foot strike during running. The project was a cross-sectional, primary and observational study with quantitative analysis, targeting 131 runners, lasting from August to December 2022. The instrument was carried out through an interview, in which a questionnaire was used and 131 runners were interviewed, 79 females and 52 males. Average age was 41 years. The average weight was 64 kilos. The average running experience was 6 years, the average cadence 176 steps/min and average pace 5:50 min/km. The average running kilometers per week was 25.68 km; 69 (52.67%) runners never had PFP, 80 (61.07%) runners use the forefoot to run while 15 (11.45%) use the rearfoot. Of the 80 runners who use the forefoot, 38 (29.01%) had PFP while of the 15 runners who use the rearfoot, 9 (6.87%) had PFP. 38 (29.01%) do not do muscle strengthening to help with running. Interpretation. The present study did not statistically prove whether the type of step (rearfoot or forefoot) is directly related to PFP; 27.38% of runners responded that they did not care about the type of step in running; 29.01% do not know how to use cadence or do not care about it.

Resumo A dor patelofemoral do joelho (DFP) é uma das queixas mais comuns entre corredores e este estudo tem como objetivo verificar se a DFP tem relação com o tipo de pisada durante a corrida de rua. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, primário e observacional, de análise quantitativa, tendo como sujeitos corredores amadores. Utilizou-se como instrumento de coleta de dados uma entrevista guiada por questionário padronizado. No período de agosto a dezembro de 2022 foram entrevistados 131 corredores, 79 do sexo feminino e 52 masculinos, com idade média de 41 anos. O peso médio do corredor foi 64 quilos. Os atletas possuíam, em média, seis anos de prática de corrida. A cadência média foi de 176 passos/min e pace médio de 5:50 min/km. A média semanal de quilômetros percorridos foi 25,68 km. Sessenta e nove (52.67%) corredores nunca tiveram DPF. Oitenta (61,07%) atletas utilizam o mediopé para correr enquanto 15 (11.45%) utilizam o retropé. Dos 80 corredores que usam o mediopé, 38 (29%) deles tiveram DPF, enquanto dos que usam o retropé, nove (6.87%) apresentaram dor patelofemoral. Trinta e oito sujeitos (29%) não realizam nenhum tipo de fortalecimento muscular para melhorar o desempenho e evitar lesões na corrida. O presente estudo não comprovou estatisticamente se o tipo de pisada (mediopé ou retropé) tem relação direta com DPF; além disso, 27.38% dos corredores entrevistados não se importam com tipo de pisada durante a corrida e 29% deles não sabem utilizar a cadência (passos por minuto) ou se preocupam com isso.

Ecological construction and environmental management in large and medium-sized cities in the context of industry- city integration
Authors: Dai Dongyang , Jin Lin
Published: September 2023

To maintain the ecological environment and protect the sustainable development of natural resources, this paper proposes a study on ecological construction and environmental management in large and medium-sized cities in the context of city- industry integration. The spatial layout, environmental capacity, and environmental quality are clearly deficient in the situation related to the integration of industrial and urban areas. Analyze the problems of ecological construction and environmental management in governance, construct an index system for the coordinated development of ecological and environmental systems, and measure the coupled and synergistic dispatch of cities and ecological environments. Eliminate dimensions, variable changes and values so that benefit and cost metrics are consistent. The information entropy of each index is calculated by using the original information of the objective environment, and the weights are determined after standardizing them to obtain a comprehensive index of the development level of urbanization and the ecological environment system. The coupling coordination model is used to measure two or more system linkage indicators, reflecting the degree of coordination of the interactive coupling of economic growth and the ecological environment. The analysis of the results shows that the ecological development of urbanization is steadily increasing, and the level of ecological development has grown to 0.7291 and the level of urbanization development has increased to 0.8950 over time, with a good degree of coordination of coupling.
Review on pharmacological active saffron and crocin
Authors: Shoyama Shoyama
Published: September 2023

Saffron has been used for medicinal, coloring, aroma and flavoring purposes for thousands of years. In recent years, research on the pharmacological activity of saffron has become increasingly active, with particular attention being paid to saffron's anti-cognitive activity. Saffron is known to contain a number of components, among which crocetin glycosides, i.e. crocin has been found to be the active substance. Anti- crocin monoclonal antibody having wide cross-reactivity was prepared and carried out immunostaining using PC-12 cells to confirm the uptake of crocin into the cells. Saffron extract and/or crocin ameliorated learning and memory performance inhibited by ethanol in mice. Long term potentiation blocked by ethanol shows recovery by the addition of saffron extract and/or crocin to mouse hippocampus tissues. Mice injected with crocin expressed non-rem sleeping even during an activating period. The clinical trial of saffron extract ameliorated symptoms in Alzheimer’s patients. A Chinese formula prescribed with saffron reversed brain vascular dementia. PC-12 cells were used to study the mechanism of cell death by apoptosis. Crocin showed strong anti- oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Crocin decreased the level of ceramide by inhibition of sphindomyerinase activity and increased glutathione concentration resulting in inhibition of apoptosis. From these findings saffron and crocin can potentially be applied for treatment and prevention of dementia in patients.
“NOVA Tracker”: Statistical validation of the “NOVA Tracker” as an instrument that captures ultra-processed food consumption
Authors: Belmont Philippe , Freire Wilma B.
Published: September 2023

In Ecuador, overweight and obesity (ow/ob) reach alarmingly high levels of prevalence in adult and adolescent population. Sedentary habits, loss of dietary diversity and consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) are among the identified factorsthat increase the prevalence of ow/ob, which are part of a phenomenon identified as nutritional transition. The development of the agro-industrial sector, along with the urban lifestyle, contributes to a shift in eating patterns, increasing the risks ofchronic non-communicable diseases. This transition occurs when “traditional” diets are replaced with fewer basic foods and greater UPF consumption.
