Published: August 2022

The aim of this study was to compare the internal and external loading between official matches and the in-season qualitative trainings in soccer. Nine professional soccer players (N=9) aged 29.5±2.75yrs, with body mass of 74.9±5kg, stature 180±14cm and body fat of 7±1.6% participated in the study. The selected parameters were recorded by the use of a Polar Team Pro GPS system in both two official matches and in two of the most demanding trainings in a period of 4 microcycles. The players’ loads duration in a max heart rate (HRmax), the covered distance and the amount of accelerated/decelerated runs were measured. The paired samples t-test revealed that the load time (min) with heart rate close to 50–59.9 and 60–83.9 %HRmax was significantly greater during trainings, rather than the match. On the contrary, when the players’ heart rate corresponded to 84–89.9 and 95–100 the values of HRmax were significantly greater during the match. In addition, the covered distance with a playing intensity of 19.8-24.99km.h-1 and >25km.h-1 was lower while the amount of accelerated and decelerated runs was greater during training, in comparison to the match. These findings suggest that, to become the soccer players able to respond in match conditions, coaches should replace the low intensity loads with higher, simulating as close as possible the demands of the official match.

Mach-IV: Evidence of Structural, Discriminant and Predictive Validity with Argentinian Students
Authors: Belaus Anabel , Mola Débora Jeanette , Correa Pablo , Reyna Cecilia
Published: August 2022

Machiavellians are defined as self-interested and manipulative people, who use others as mere means for their ends. The Mach-IV scale consists of 20 items measuring different aspects of Machiavellianism. In this study, we investigate the psychometric properties of the Mach-IV Scale with Argentinian university students. First, we translated and adapted the Mach-IV Scale to the target culture. Second, we evaluated the structure and internal consistency of the scale. Third, we examined the correlation between Mach-IV and Social Value Orientation (SVO), and between the Mach-IV scale and decisions and expectations in a Dictator Game (DG), both in its “give” and “take” versions. None of the structures evaluated showed good indexes of fit. We opted for the original one-factor structure but without items 19 and 20. Assuming such a structure, we observed negative correlations between the Mach-IV scale and SVO, and between the Mach-IV scale and cooperation in the DG.

Motivación y frustración: modulación de la ingesta inducida por un evento previo de frustración
Authors: Serafini Matias , Cuenya Lucas
Published: August 2022

Introducción: La discrepancia negativa entre el refuerzo esperado y el obtenido genera una respuesta aversiva denominada frustración. El Contraste Negativo Sucesivo consumatorio (CNSc) consiste en exponer a un grupo experimental a un estímulo preferido (32% de sacarosa) durante días sucesivos para posteriormente cambiarlo por uno menos preferido (4%). El efecto implica una disminución del consumo del grupo experimental, por debajo de la respuesta de un control que siempre recibió el estímulo de menor valor. Objetivo: Estudiar los cambios motivacionales en torno a la recompensa esperada en un CNSc. Método: Se utilizaron ratas Wistar macho privadas de alimento al 81-85% de su peso. Un grupo experimental tuvo un entrenamiento con 32% y se evaluó su ingesta tras experimentar inmediatamente antes una devaluación de la recompensa (4%). Resultados: Se observó un incremento de la ingesta cuando los animales reencontraron el 32% luego de un evento previo de frustración por devaluación, y se descartaron con condiciones controles explicaciones no emocionales como el contraste sensorial o el diferencial de saciedad al momento de la prueba. Discusión: En un CNSc acontecería tanto un descenso del valor motivacional del reforzador devaluado (4%) como un incremento del valor del reforzador perdido (32%).

Political Communication in the Age of Populism and Mediatization
Authors: Carmona Rodríguez Manuel , Maizonada Mato Miriam
Published: July 2022

The loss of mainstream political parties’ credibility, the mistrust over the traditional sources of information, the rise of social media in the public scenario, and the ideological polarization splitting states into different sides seem to be the most recent personality of our democracy. Through this study, we will understand to what extent populist rhetoric affects our decisions in both the civic and personal sphere. Are we owners of our mindset, or are we just victims of the filter bubble? After investigating the basic concepts of political communication and explaining the factors of populism and mediatization that we are experiencing today, we must go further to study whether this ideological fragmentation of states should concern us, and more importantly, whether it is going to increase in Spain. For this, a very important factor is the youth, since are the new generations on whom the future of politics and ideological bias depend.
Tradición y Vanguardia en la música de Facundo de la Viña (1876-1952)
Authors: Rodríguez Fernández Isidro
Published: July 2022

En este artículo se pretende poner de relieve la figura del compositor Facundo de la Viña, reconocido como gran sinfonista, como así lo avala la crítica, los premios recibidos y los diferentes cargos desempeñados a lo largo de su vida durante la II República y el primer franquismo. Paradójicamente, tan valorado y reconocido ha sido en vida, como desconocido resulta hoy en día para la mayoría. Facundo de la Viña perteneció a la Generación de Maestros, pero no fue ajeno a las nuevas vanguardias del momento.

A través de la crítica musical de la época y del estudio y análisis de su producción para piano, podemos establecer los rasgos más característicos de su estética musical y lenguaje compositivo, mostrando una obra de calidad que, para nada justifica que un compositor de su talla permanezca prácticamente en el olvido. Asimismo, se expondrán los recientes estudios y el interés que suscita de forma progresiva su obra en la actualidad.

Authors: Rodríguez Abengózar Javier
Published: July 2022

Las sanciones internacionales, como mecanismos de solución pacífica, se han convertido desde el final de la Guerra Fría en una herramienta muy utilizada en la política global para intentar evitar, reordenar o contrarrestar las actividades de los estados, empresas/organizaciones o individuos, cuando se supone que dichas actividades pueden atentar contra la seguridad interna de un estado. A ello se han añadido las acciones relacionadas con la violación de derechos humanos básicos. En este trabajo se estudian las sanciones establecidas en el marco de las relaciones Estados Unidos-Rusia en 2014 debido a la adhesión unilateral de Crimea por parte de Rusia y las derivadas de violaciones de derechos humanos o corrupción en relación con la campaña electoral estadounidense de 2016.

The nanosponges are polymeric nanoparticles that entrap the drug. The drug-loaded nanosponge has different absorption characteristics in comparison to the pure drug in the topical drug delivery system. Methods: The drug was first loaded in the ethylcellulose nanosponge using the emulsion solvent diffusion method. Then Diclofenac diethylamine nanosponge-loaded topical gel formulations were developed by using Carbopol 940 as a gel-forming polymer. Result: The Diclofenac diethylamine-loaded nanosponges were evaluated for various evaluation parameters such as particle size distribution, surface morphology, drug entrapment efficiency, polydispersity index, etc. The topical gel formulations were evaluated for pH, in vitro drug release, viscosity, in vivo performance and compared with the marketed formulation. The average size of prepared nanosponge formulations was found in the range of 102.8 nm to 475.5 nm. Scanning electron microscopy photographs of developed formulations reveal the spongy and porous nature of particles along with spherical shape.

study of utility of Delta IGG as a prognostic marker in Guillain barre syndrome after IV immunoglobulin treatment
Authors: Balaji M. S. , Girish M.
Published: July 2022

Background: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute onset immune-mediated disease affecting  the  peripheral  nerve  also  its  root  Plasma exchange(PE) and intravenous immuno globulin(IVIG) have given evidence for faster recovery in GBS(4). IVIG treatment is comparatively costly but hospital stay duration is reduced. Other options include corticosteroids but have not shown benefit. Mortality of GBS is around 3%. Around 20 % patients have persisting neurological deficits and one half of these have severe disability. After a standard dose of IVIg treatment, GBS patients show a large variation in pharmacokinetics of IgG, which may be related to clinical outcome. The therapeutic dose of IVIg for GBS was empirically set at 2g per kg body weight, based mainly on the clinical experience in patients with immune deficiencies. Not all patients of GBS, however, show a good recovery after this standard dose. IVIg clearance may depend on disease severity and vary between individuals, implying that this dose may be suboptimal for some patients who might need DOSE adjustments for others the standard dose might be sufficient. Aims and Objectives: To study and determine the serum DELTA IgG values and evaluate its utility in the prognosis of Guillain Barre Syndrome after IVIG treatment.

Published: August 2022

Different factors condition sports development and participation. Existing research has shown that an individual's attitude toward sports involvement is mostly influenced by personal factors, although sports participation may also influence sports development. This study proposes to examine whether the Ideal-Type Model of Integrated High Performance and Mass Sports Development (ITM) and the classic model of planned behaviour (TPB) theory reinforces the development of triathlon and the main motives for people to participate in a triathlon. A model based on the traditional ITM and TPB models was presented. Three hundred six valid questionnaires were gathered online in southern China to create the sample.

Published: August 2022

Background: Clostridium difficile is an anaerobic, spore forming, rod shaped bacterium that can produce toxins and may transmit through some types of food samples. The present survey was done to assess the prevalence, toxigenic gene profile and ribotyping of C. difficile strains isolated from raw bovine and ovine meat samples. Methods: Two hundred and fifty raw meat samples were collected from Isfahan, Iran and analyzed for presence of C. difficile using the microbial culture. Genomic DNA was extracted from C. difficile isolates. Extracted DNA samples were subjected to PCR for determination of tcdA, tcdB, and cdtA toxigenic genes. Ribotyping was done using the 16S and 23S rRNA genes amplification in a separated PCR assay. Results: Fifteen out of 250 (6%) raw meat samples were contaminated with C. difficile. Prevalence of C. difficile strains amongst the raw bovine and ovine meat samples were 8% and 4%, respectively. The most commonly detected toxigenic genes were tcdA (33.33%) and cdtA (20%). Distribution of tcdB was 13.33%. Amongst the combined toxigenic genes, tcdA+cdtA had the highest distribution (13.33%).

This study was analytical observasional with cross sectional design. From 2017 to 2021, 45 cervical cancer survivors who had  radical hysterectomy were enrolled. The subjects were divided into four groups: radical hysterectomy only, hysterectomy combined chemotherapy, hysterectomy combined chemoradiotherapy, hysterectomy combined radiotherapy. The Female Sexual Funxtion Index questionnaire were used to collect data of sexual activity including desire, arousal, lubrication, satisfaction, orgasm and dyspareunia. The mean age was 46.29 (SD± 7.6). The FSFI between four groups were significantly difference in  desire (p 0.006), arousal (p0.003), lubrication (p0.001), and sexual satisfaction (p0.033). Mann-Whitney test is used to analyze associations between two groups. The most affected domain between radical hysterectomy and radical hysterectomy combined radiotherapy were desire (p 0.006), sexual satisfaction (0.013). Domain arousal was significant difference between radical hysterectomy and radical hysterectomy combined chemotherapy (p  0.005). Lubrication was difference between radical hysterectomy and radical hysterectomy combined chemoradiotherapy.

Mycoplasma is fastidious, a slow-growing organism that lacks a cell wall and is often isolated from the genitourinary tract. The aim of the study determines the relationships between the fastidious microbial infection (Mycoplasma spp. and Ureaplasma spp.) and toll-like receptor 6 concentration for urinary-genital tract infections (UGTIs). The study includes a collection (of 223) samples (females’ urine and blood) from UGTIs patients, who arrived Hospital in Babylon (from January to June 2021). The isolates were identified according to appropriate culture media by urine culture, Biochemical analyses have been used to verify the authenticity. The results of the immunological examination of TLR-6 concentration were done using ELISA for measurement. The mean TLR-6 urine concentration in patients (2.08±0.3 pg/ml) was significant increase p< 0.05. compared1with the control (1.70±0.4 pg/ml) while showing the mean TLR-6 serum concentration in patients (2.21±1.4 pg/ml) was no significant difference compared with the control group (1.80±0.5 pg/ml). we concluded that the risk factors associated with Mycoplasma ssp. are numerous. Therefore, it is necessary to use accurate and rapid diagnostic methods. The present study indicates that the patients with UGTIs due to mycoplasmas had significantly higher Toll-like receptor-6 than the control group in urine only.

Published: July 2022

Background: Acrylamide (ACR) are used in many chemical and industrial process. They exposure to human pose some health risk, while some effects are proven, the causal relationship between ACR and neurotoxicity is still unclear, so we would like to look for some evidence regarding this issue. The search for evidence is also complemented with a seven-step occupational disease assessment in order to establish occupational disease diagnosis.Methods: Searching literature for the evidence-based has been conducted with a clinical question through “PICO” method. Then we continued the searching using electronic databases: “PubMed”, “Google Scholar”, and “Cochrane Library” search engine. The keyword is Acrylamide” “2-Propenamide; Ethylenecarboxamide” “Neurotoxic” combined with Boolean operation. The inclusion criteria are research in human, publication last ten years, and English full text article, while our exclusion criteria are duplicate or not relevant study.Results: From the three literatures obtained, we could obtain the description of neurotoxicity symptoms induced by acrylamide, the diagnosis and treatment, and also the mechanism how acrylamide could induce neurotoxicity in human.Conclusion: Acrylamide exposure in workers can cause neurotoxicity depend on the duration and concentration of exposure.

Background: Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the workers in food manufacturing continue to work. The Government of Indonesia issued a regulation of 10-day isolation for those asymptomatic patients. This regulation implies long sick leave for workers with asymptomatic COVID-19 infection, leading to possible disruption in fulfilling target production. This study aims to understand the factors associated with the length of sick leave due to COVID-19 among food manufacturing workers. Methods: The design of this study was cross-sectional, used 205 workers’ data of confirmed COVID-19 infection, and returned to work from March 2020 – to August 2021. The data were obtained by the company medical team from medical resumes at the companies’ clinics and then sent to Ikatan Dokter Kesehatan Kerja Indonesia (IDKI) Banten. The data was screened as inclusion and exclusion criteria and then analyzed by descriptive test. unpaired T-test and linear regression. Results: The mean length of sick leave of 205 data was 19.3 (± 4,8) days. Treatment facilities, work shifts, and smoking were associated with the length of sick leave (p<0.05). Home Self-isolating, shift, and non-smoking workers had longer sick leave than workers treated at COVID center, non-shift, and smoking workers Conclusion: The mean length of sick leave among food workers in Cilegon is 19.3 (±4,8) days. There is a significant relationship between the length of sick leave with treatment facilities, shift work, and smoking. Treatment facilities were the most dominant factor.

Published: August 2022

Diante do avanço tecnológico ocorrido ao longo das últimas décadas, a busca por informações confiáveis e tempestivas por parte das empresas elevou-se, influenciada principalmente pelo fato das organizações necessitarem se destacar em um ambiente cada vez mais competitivo. Nesse sentido, a contabilidade digital surge com a promessa de ser um grande diferencial na geração de informações rápidas e fidedignas para os usuários. Dessa forma, o objetivo do estudo foi analisar a percepção da gestão de escritórios de contabilidade em relação a adoção da contabilidade digital. Para isso, aplicou-se um estudo de casos múltiplos com quatro organizações contábeis, três delas que adotam o modelo de contabilidade digital a mais de um ano e uma que adota o modelo de contabilidade tradicional. As empresas analisadas atuam na região Centro-oeste e Sul do Brasil. As visões combinadas das quatro empresas subsidiaram uma visão do fenômeno estudado de forma a apresentar as percepções quanto a adoção, utilidade, vantagens e desvantagens do modelo digital a partir da perspectiva dos dois modelos, tradicional e digital. Os achados encontrados indicam que as empresas analisadas implementaram a contabilidade digital, mas sem deixar de lado a contabilidade tradicional. Três modelos de atuação foram encontrados nos casos: i. tradicional; ii. tradicional e digital; e iii. digital. Conclui-se, a partir da percepção dos gestores, que ainda não é viável a adoção de um modelo contábil que utiliza totalmente a contabilidade digital e sua implementação depende de gargalos que impedem a integração viável das rotinas do escritório contábil e a empresa cliente.

Flooding remains the most common disaster in Nigeria since its first occurrence in 1948. While the subject of flood management has enjoyed sufficient attention in the literature, the primacy of inter-agency collaboration in managing the effects of flood emergencies and in implementing flood management-related policies remain less explored. This forms the basis for this article. The qualitative research approach was adopted to elicit information from ten key informants from federal, state and local government agencies directly involved in flood management. Three states from three of the six geo-political zones with the highest records of floods were purposively selected. Besides, publications/reports and other secondary materials were reviewed to generate secondary data, while a conceptual framework was woven around the importance of government institutions in implementing public policy. Results show that despite the appreciable level of collaboration among the government institutions/agencies in managing floods in the country, such collaboration is yet to translate into improved service delivery. Identified causes include low institutional capacity, inadequate funding and bureaucratic corruption. Based on these findings, it was recommended that institutions/agencies should be repositioned to play more active roles in Nigeria’s flood management system and implement related public policies. If this is done, it would save the country from the socio-economic effects of flood disaster, which has placed a burden on government spending and infrastructural development.
