Authors: PérezTapia Luz Vanessa
Published: February 2024

El objetivo es delinear la contribución social de las personas y sus procesos y prácticas agroecológicas reivindicativas de autosuficiencia realizadas en la cotidianidad sobre las condiciones materiales para la reproducción de las relaciones sociales de producción, se presenta una lectura-interpretación que aborda su “realidad” desde las diferentes escalas del análisis geosocial. Se presenta el análisis de la información obtenida mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas de protagonistas de procesos agroecológicos de Ciudad de México y Oaxaca de Juárez: su vinculación a mercados alternativos constituye el principal criterio de selección de informantes. Para expresar el análisis de la información se construyó una matriz de interpretación de procesos agroecológicos que permite mostrar sistemáticamente la escala de incidencia de las prácticas de las y los entrevistados. Se concluye que los procesos agroecológicos situados contribuyen con la generación de bienes comunes para la autosuficiencia alimentaria y la autonomía productiva.
Espacio y sentidos: análisis de percepción ambiental del espacio público vecinal. Caso parque urbano San Antonio, Pachuca, Hidalgo (México)
Authors: Carrillo Moedano Enid Adriana
Published: February 2024

El espacio público en todas sus escalas detona usos colectivos y sociales que dan sentido a las prácticas urbanas. El espacio vecinal constituye un foco de estudio vital para comprender los mecanismos de uso y percepción que surgen en función de las interacciones entre el espacio construido y los procesos sociales. El presente estudio analiza las percepciones ambientales en cuanto a relación entre los elementos materiales de un parque vecinal y las percepciones  que genera en las personas usuarias del espacio. Por ello, se presenta el caso de Parque urbano San Antonio, un parque vecinal ubicado al sur de la ciudad de Pachuca.  Lo anterior se analiza desde los supuestos de la psicología ambiental y a través de una metodologia que conjuga una encuesta de percepción con una guía de observación del entorno urbano para analizar el contraste entre el espacio construido y las resignificaciones que las personas hacen al respecto.
Rutinas cartográficas indígenas. La construcción del territorio entre los mixes de Oaxaca
Authors: Zolla Márquez Emiliano
Published: February 2024

El presente artículo busca dar cuenta de los mecanismos de construcción del espacio y el territorio entre los pueblos mixes o ayuujk de la Sierra Mixe de Oaxaca. A partir de la noción de “rutinas cartográficas” de Raymond Craib, se analiza el contraste entre las formas de organización estatal y las de los pueblos indígenas mexicanos. A esta reflexión general sigue una exploración de las características del territorio mixe y de las prácticas concretas que se utilizan para definirlo y organizarlo. El texto ilustra de manera etnográfica cómo hay mecanismos de construcción territorial que difieren de las formas cartográficas hegemónicas las cuales están arraigadas en el ritual, el parentesco y las prácticas cotidianas de uso y habitación del territorio.
Ciudad/Frontera: La producción del espacio de Ciudad Juárez en tiempos neoliberales
Authors: Saracho López Federico José , Jiménez de León Paola
Published: February 2024

El neoliberalismo ha rearticulado y producido nuevos espacios para garantizar su reproducción. Tal es el caso de la zona transfronteriza entre Ciudad Juárez y El Paso, donde converge la división entre México y Estados Unidos con los procesos de integración comercial a partir del Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte (ahora T-MEC). A través del desarrollo de infraestructuras y marcos institucionales políticos y normativos, ambas ciudades profundizaron su interconexión económica, fortaleciendo la industria maquiladora del lado sur de la frontera y el desarrollo de la economía de servicios del lado norte. Ello exacerbó la brecha en los niveles de ingreso entre ambas ciudades. A la par, se distanciaron mediante dispositivos de securitización, los cuales concentraron los flujos migratorios irregulares, los grupos del narcotráfico y las expresiones de violencia del lado mexicano, al tiempo que se experimentó una pasificación relativa en El Paso. Así, esta zona conurbada presenta dinámicas de homogenización/fragmentación en la producción de sus espacios, esenciales para el sostén de la integración neoliberal regional. En este trabajo pretendemos ilustrar como el espacio, la frontera y la macro región de América del Norte se entrelazan para asentar el desarrollo desigual entre ambas ciudades.
Espacio, sentido y poder: apuntes sobre la desfetichización del espacio
Authors: López Feldman Aarón Benjamín
Published: February 2024

A modo de apuntes teórico-metodológicos, en este texto breve propongo trabajar las relaciones conceptuales entre espacio, sentido y poder enfatizando la necesidad de desfetichizar tanto las espacialidades como el llamado “giro espacial”. Desde esta perspectiva, el principal aporte de dicho “giro” no está en lo que reduce, sino en lo que enfatiza, en lo que permite mantener en tensión analítica a la hora de pensar las espacialidades como procesos históricos, globales y en conflicto. Desfetichizar el espacio, dentro y fuera del trabajo académico, significa entender la producción de lo simultáneo a la luz no sólo del tiempo, sino también del conflicto, las asimetrías, la diferencia y las desigualdades. Como práctica epistemológica, teórica y metodológica, la desfetichización tiene que pelear, entonces, contra los supuestos del objetivismo ingenuo que asumen que el espacio es algo dado, obvio, neutro y, a la par, contra los supuestos del subjetivismo igualmente ingenuo que afirman que el espacio no existe más que como pura representación. Como nota de cierre de estos apuntes, utilizo el ejemplo de la familia en tanto escala espacial de reproducción social, en un primer intento por desestabilizar a la ciudad como escala obvia

Inteligencia artificial y Justicia: ¿Juez robot o deshumanización de la Justicia?
Authors:   Universidad de Buenos Aires, Rodríguez Nadia Lorena
Published: February 2024

Las nuevas tecnologías y la inteligencia artificial hoy forman parte de nuestra vida. El desarrollo de sistemas de pensamiento autónomo, su incidencia en las decisiones de los magistrados y la afectación de garantías constitucionales y derechos fundamentales nos llevan a preguntarnos si las decisiones automatizadas en el ámbito de la Justicia nos permitirían pensar en la existencia de un juez robot o si ello implicaría una deshumanización de la Justicia.
raamwerk voor het identificeren, classificeren en inventariseren van interdisciplinair onderwijs
Authors: Van Goch Merel
Published: February 2024

Steeds meer hoger-onderwijs-instellingen streven ernaar hun aanbod interdisciplinair onderwijs te vergroten. Het blijkt echter moeilijk te zijn om het bestaande aanbod van interdisciplinair onderwijs te inventariseren, omdat de betekenis van interdisciplinariteit aan inflatie onderhevig is doordat het een modewoord is geworden, en omdat de termen multi-, cross-, inter- en transdisciplinariteit door elkaar worden gebruikt.

Dit artikel beschrijft een raamwerk dat de verscheidenheid aan interdisciplinair onderwijs op een praktische manier inzichtelijk maakt, dat werkbaar is voor een brede instelling en haar gebruikers met verschillende expertiseniveaus op het gebied van interdisciplinair onderwijs. Het raamwerk is van toepassing op: meerdere onderwijsgroottes; verschillende onderwijsniveaus; zowel actieve als passieve onderwijs- en leervormen; diverse opdrachten en toetsvormen; verschillende beoogde leerresultaten. Het raamwerk kan op institutioneel en departementaal niveau gebruikt worden om onderwijs te identificeren, classificeren en inventariseren, en kan door opleidingsmanagement en docenten vertaald worden in eindtermen en leerdoelen.

De volgende aspecten van interdisciplinair onderwijs worden in het raamwerk geïdentificeerd: 1) een complex thema; 2) meerdere disciplines geven inzicht in het complexe thema; 3) de inzichten worden geïntegreerd. Daarbovenop kunnen onderdeel zijn van interdisciplinair onderwijs: 4) een metaperspectief op interdisciplinaire theorie; 5) een meta-perspectief op interdisciplinaire praktijk, inclusief inter- en intrapersoonlijke interdisciplinaire competenties.
Lessen uit het Eurydice-rapport: een Vlaamse reflectie over kansengelijkheid en inclusie in het hoger onderwijs
Authors: Emmers Elke , Stevens Ruth , Doumen Sarah , Everaert Lindsay , Decabooter Iris , Engelen Ilse , Jansen Dorien , Pulinx Reinhilde
Published: February 2024

In maart 2022 werd het Eurydice-rapport ‘Towards equity and inclusion in higher education in Europe’ gepubliceerd. Dit rapport analyseert de huidige afstemming van de Europese hoger onderwijs (HO) systemen op basis van tien beginselen en richtlijnen die verwijzen naar kansengelijkheid en inclusie zoals overeengekomen door alle European Higher Education Area (EHEA) landen en regio’s. Deze beginselen en richtlijnen vormen een blauwdruk om de sociale dimensie in het HO te verbeteren. Vlaanderen scoort hier slechts matig: veel landen gaan ons voor terwijl Vlaanderen net state of the art onderwijs wil nastreven. Aangezien het Eurydice-rapport top-down Europees beleid beschrijft, is voor een goed begrip grondige reflectie vanuit de regionale context noodzakelijk. Dit artikel geeft een heldere, narratieve samenvatting van het Eurydice-rapport met een duidelijke vertaling naar de context van HO in Vlaanderen op basis van wetenschappelijke inzichten. Er wordt kritisch gereflecteerd over (1) de tien Eurydice richtlijnen, (2) de huidige positionering van Vlaanderen, en (3) de weg die het HO in Vlaanderen nog te gaan heeft op het vlak van gelijkheid en inclusie. Het artikel geeft ook aan waar HO-instellingen en de daarbij horende brede groep van stakeholders, zoals lokale overheden, ruimtelijke ontwerpers en ondersteuningsdiensten, zich op zouden moeten richten. Conclusie: het Eurydice-rapport benadrukt het potentieel voor Vlaanderen om kansengelijkheid en inclusie in het HO te bevorderen. Dit kan worden bereikt door belang te hechten aan een gedeelde taal met duidelijke definities, verantwoordingsmechanismen op te zetten op verschillende niveaus, en een alomvattende aanpak te hanteren om gelijke onderwijskansen te garanderen. Er wordt gesuggereerd dat de regio afstapt van een beleid te eng gericht naar specifieke groepen.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: Stroke is a life-threatening medical condition that can result in lifelong brain damage, complications, and death. It is the second leading cause of death worldwide and could soon overtake as the biggest cause of death globally. This can be produced by ischemia from a thrombosis or embolism, or a hemorrhage. As a result, the brain’s damaged area is unable to operate, causing one or more limbs on one side of the body to become immobile, inability to recognize or produce speech, or seeing only one side of the visual field. Objective of the Research: To determine the prevalence of Post Stroke Depression and anxiety among stroke patients admitted in Khyber teaching hospital Peshawar Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the prevalence of PSD and anxiety among stroke patients admitted at Khyber teaching hospital Peshawar. Data was collected through a questionnaire named HADs scale from participants. The sample size calculated for the research study was 109. The convenience sampling technique was used in the current study. Results: The findings of the study provide a baseline of information about the prevalence of Post Stroke Depression (PSD) and anxiety among stroke patients admitted in Khyber teaching hospital Peshawar. The prevalence of depression was 86(63.3%) and anxiety was 91(83.5%). Conclusion: In current study we had concluded a high prevalence of post stroke depression and anxiety ranging from 65-74 years of age in Khyber teaching hospital Peshawar. So, we concluded that females suffering from stroke have more chances of post stroke depression.

Published: February 2024

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) poses a major public health concern on a global scale. Patients with CKD have a heightened risk of developing multiple movement disorders like parkinsonism. Timely diagnosis through imaging and effective management may hold the key to mitigating disease symptoms. Methods: 28 individuals with CKD were categorized into two groups, nine patients showing signs of parkinsonism and a control group of nineteen patients without. All participants underwent non-contrast brain MRI scans, including T1, T2, DWI, and FLAIR sequences. We examined the presence or absence of brain MRI findings. The data obtained were analyzed using SPSS-24 and STATA for statistical analysis. Results: Nine patients exhibited parkinsonism symptoms, while nineteen did not. Brain MRI revealed hypointensities in structures like the putamen, globus pallidus, and cerebellar dentate nucleus in both groups. Comparative analysis showed no statistically significant differences in the percentages of these findings (p > 0.05). Similarly, the presence of cerebral atrophy and cerebrovascular disease did not significantly differ between the groups. Factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and history of dialysis also failed to show significant distinctions (p less than 0.05 for all). Conclusion: The correlation between brain MRI alterations in CKD patients with parkinsonism symptoms and those without was not significant. Nevertheless, there was a strong association between the duration of CKD in patients and the presence of parkinsonism-related signs.

Authors:   BioRes Scientia LLC, Mayomba Colman , Kaizilege Godfrey , Kiritta Richard , Matovelo Dismas , Ngoya Patrick , Ottoman Oscar , Ndaboine Edgar
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common disease in women worldwide and the leading cause in Tanzania, with 9,772 new cases and 6,695 deaths annually. Surgery is better than radiation or chemotherapy for early-stage cervical cancer (stages IA2–IIA1). Due to the risks of oophorectomy in young women, ovarian conservation is crucial. Metachronous ovarian cancer is understudied, however, ovarian conservation does not enhance cervical cancer mortality. Clinical presentation: We report a rare case of recurrent metachronous ovarian cancer in a 42-year-old female, Para 3, Living 3, who had her ovaries conserved following a radical hysterectomy and bilateral lymph node dissection for stage IB2 cervical cancer at 37 years old in April 2017. The final biopsy showed a well-differentiated, invasive cervical adenocarcinoma. Stage IV ovarian cancer with significant ascites and pleural effusion was detected in July 2018, 14 months post-surgery. Six chemotherapy treatments and total tumor debulking succeeded. Despite the most effective cytoreduction surgery, the patient experienced two further recurrences in 2020 and 2022. After additional surgeries and chemotherapy, she is currently in complete remission and will be followed up. Conclusion: Young women undergoing radical hysterectomy for early-stage cervical cancer must preserve their ovaries, but metachronous ovarian cancer is a risk. Thus, metachronous ovarian cancer risks, challenges, and outcomes must be understood.

Published: February 2024

Objective: To present a patient with situs inversus totals and symptomatic cholelithiasis treated by laparoscopy, highlighting the usefulness of minimally invasive surgery in patients with anatomical variants. Background: Situs Inversus Totalism is a rare genetic disorder that is characterized by the transposition of the thoracoabdominal organs in a sagittal direction, providing a so-called “mirror” image. Methods: Report of a 40-year- old female patient with symptomatic cholelithiasis of 3 months evolution, in whom situs inversus totals was identified, after imaging tests performed. The intervention proceeded without complications and the patient was discharged after 24 hours. Conclusions: Gallbladder lithiasis in situs inversus totals is a rare clinical condition that can be treated safely and effectively by laparoscopy. We believe that an exhaustive preoperative study is convenient to detect possible added anatomical variants in these patients, since their knowledge can help us to design the operation.
Use of Platelet Rich Plasma in Otolaryngology-Review Article
Authors:   BioRes Scientia LLC, Satpathi Shweta , Gaurkar Sagar
Published: February 2024

The process of replacing or regenerating human cells, tissues, or organs to restore or establish normal function is known as REGENERATIVE MEDICINE. It is a brand new, developing field of medicine that deals with the functional repair of tissues or organs damaged by severe trauma or degenerative conditions. Currently, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell-based treatments are the two competing technologies that can heal and restore the injured tissues. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) applications used in new autologous cellular therapeutics have the potential to supplement a range of regenerative medicine therapy regimens [1]. An emerging and effective treatment alternative in musculoskeletal therapy is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) PRP is an autologous plasma preparation that has been enhanced with platelet concentrations above those seen in whole blood ordinarily. High platelet concentration has therapeutic promise because of their ability to give supraphysiologic levels of vital growth factors, which operate as a regenerative stimulus to encourage repair in tissues with poor healing capabilities [2]. A concentration of platelet-rich protein generated from blood that has been spun to remove the red blood cells is known as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or more accurately autologous conditioned plasma. Despite being advertised to cure a variety of medical ailments, there is conflicting evidence for profit as of 2020, with some evidence supporting usage in some circumstances and opposing use in other. A unique substance that is being employed in several surgical specialities is platelet-rich plasma. The aim of the article is to review the ongoing and prospective utilization of platelet-rich plasma in the field of Otolaryngology [3].
Trends and Challenges of Health Care Financing in Nigeria
Authors:   BioRes Scientia LLC, Ogbodo Okechukwu Chime
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Health care financing is concerned with how financial resources are generated, allocated and used in health care system. Worldwide, every year 100 million people are pushed into poverty because they have had to pay directly for their health care. Objective: To assess the trends and challenges of health care financing in Nigeria. Methodology: A literature review was conducted. Results: In Nigeria, health care is financed through Tax revenues, out of pocket payments (user payment), health insurance (social, community-based insurance, private health care financing), donor funding, exemptions/deferrals/subsidies. Majority (69%) of the health care financing in Nigeria is from out-of-pocket payments made by the patient to the health care provider. The federal government provides 12% of health care finances. The rest of financing of health care in Nigeria come from the state governments (8%), Local Government areas (4%), and development/donor partners (3%). Nigeria allocates between 3.5% and 6.24% of her total budget to health care financing. The challenges of health care financing in Nigeria include: inefficiency of the health system across the country, limited institutional capacity, corruption, unstable and dwindling economic, and lack of political will. Conclusion: Nigeria’s expenditure on health is very low, and domestic resource mobilization for health care is weak. Nigeria’s health system has to be strengthened. Nigeria also has to inject more fund into health care for its citizens. She should embrace equitable modes of health care financing such as compulsory social insurance system for all citizens of Nigeria. The role of different levels of government in financing health care should be clearly defined. Also, prudent management of available scarce funds will go a long way in changing the Nigerian health care financing situation. The private sector (telecommunications and banks) and local philanthropists has to be involved in financing health care. There should be effective monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of performances and tracking of the use of resources, health policies and reforms.

Published: February 2024

The skin envelopes the total surface of the body and it is made up of the epidermis, an epithelial tissue of ectodermal origin; by dermis, a conjunctive tissue of mesodermal origin, which serves as sustainment and is responsible for its nutrition; and by the hypodermis or adipose tissue. This last one is a special type of conjunction in which there is a predominance of adipose cells (adipocytes), specialized in storing lipids in the form of triacylglycerol (TAG); non-polar, hydrophobic and water-insoluble substances. It embodies the organism's main energy reservoir. And its regulation ensues by nutrients and afferent signals of the neural and hormonal systems.

Introduction: The study of the efficacy of the cervical epidural block in shoulder girdle surgery allows us to identify the most frequent complications in order to prevent them and to be able to compare this technique with others. Objective: To describe the efficacy of the use of cervical epidural anesthesia in shoulder girdle surgery. Methods: Observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study at the Martín Chang Pug Teaching General Hospital in the Neuritis municipality, Camagüey province, between January 2021 and December 2022. The sample consisted of 25 patients undergoing shoulder girdle surgery who underwent surgery. Cervical epidural anesthesia was applied. Results: There was a predominance of males (18 out of 25 patients), and most of the patients were between 19 and 59 years old. Patients classified as ASA II (17 patients) predominated. Heart rate and mean arterial pressure followed a Gaussian distribution at 30 and 60 min after starting the cervical epidural block (df: 25; p>0.05). Both heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and partial oxygen saturation decreased significantly 60 min after the anesthetic technique was applied, but remained within normal limits. 100% of them reported having felt satisfied with the anesthetic procedure. Conclusions: The hemodynamic values remained within normal limits in the first hour of the intraoperative period, and all the patients were satisfied with the results of the analgesia achieved by this method. The use of cervical epidural anesthesia in shoulder girdle surgery is effective and safe.

Surgical procedures carry inherent risks, and one of the most critical complications that can arise is cardiovascular system emergencies. Patients with severe comorbidities should be referred to a relevant specialist to quantify the risk and to take appropriate measures to minimize operative morbidity. Surgery cannot be risk-free, but risk must be known so that patients can make an informed decision. By understanding the intricacies associated with these complications, healthcare professionals can enhance patient post-operative care and improve surgical outcomes. The aim of post-operative care is to provide the patient with as quick, painless, and safe recovery from the surgery as possible.
Selbstergänzung zur Vermeidung politischer Blockaden des Thüringer Verfassungsgerichtshofs
Authors: Gundling Lukas C.
Published: February 2024

Was passiert, wenn die politischen Verhältnisse in Thüringen dazu führen, dass die vakanten Richter*innenposten am Thüringer Verfassungsgerichtshof über längere Zeit unbesetzt bleiben und deshalb das Gericht funktionsunfähig wird? Die Amtsfortführung eines Mitglieds des Thüringer Verfassungsgerichtshofs ist nicht unbegrenzt möglich. Eine solche Situation würde den Verfassungsstaat zumindest in eine Krise stürzen können, bedenkt man die vielen Aufgaben des Thüringer Verfassungsgerichtshofs, die ihm durch Verfassung und Gesetz zugewiesen sind. Dieses Problem ließe sich lösen, wenn man als Auffangregelung für eine blockierte Nachwahl den Mitgliedern des Gerichtshofs die Ergänzung selbst überlässt.
Automated classification of nebulae using deep learning & machine learning for enhanced discovery
Authors: Nair Meenakshi , Narayanakurup Nisha
Published: February 2024

There are believed to be ~20,000 nebulae in the Milky Way Galaxy. However, humans have only cataloged ~1,800 of them even though we have gathered 1.3 million nebula images. Resources like the Hubble telescope can automatically explore space, discover new artifacts, and capture new images. Still, their classification is a human skill, which ultimately is interminable and subject to human error. Classification is important as it helps scientists understand the chemical composition of a nebula which in turn helps them understand the material of the original star. Our research on nebulae classification aims to make the process of classifying new nebulae faster and more accurate using a hybrid of deep learning and machine learning techniques. Our hypothesis is that the application of machine learning and deep learning methodologies effectively classifies nebulae based on images. Using a dataset primarily of images from the European Space Agency, we experimented with a range of artificial intelligence techniques such as featurization and color conversion and then determined the deep learning network/machine learning algorithms that produced the best results. The main conclusions reached from our research were that (a) the artificial intelligence (AI) was not dependent on color to classify nebulae, (b) dropping specific categories increased accuracy, and (c) featurization is the most effective technique to classify nebulae accurately. Automated classification of nebulae will help us discover, identify, and classify these marvels much faster and more accurately to expand our understanding of nebulae.

Kampung Jamu Karang Pilang is already known to several local communities. This Kampung Jamu has been around since the 60s, founded by their ancestors and continued by subsequent generations until today. Nearly 90% of the residents of Kampung Jamu sell herbal drinks, but there are no shops, they only sell them around on motorbikes. For marketing itself, the marketing of Kampung Jamu is not yet extensive. Each seller has their own area to sell, such as in Lakarsantri, Wiyung and the surrounding areas. Kampung Jamu has positive and good potential for development. Therefore, to increase sales of the Kampung Jamu business, we offer marketing training to residents there so that Kampung Jamu can be widely known by herbal connoisseurs. So, they not only get buyers from the surrounding area but also throughout Java because of their social media marketing and utilizing sophisticated technology. From the results of the survey and several considerations, this project was held, namely "Social Innovation Project The Development of Kampung Jamu".
