Published: December 2023

A Pandemia COVID-19 acentuou a crise contemporânea relacionada à alimentação, um direito essencial à saúde. Agroecologia promove a segurança alimentar no contexto de Saúde Única, preservando o patrimônio, a diversidade sócio e biocultural. Esta experiência em Sergipe e Alagoas apresenta Agroecologia como promotora da segurança alimentar e saúde. A Embrapa Tabuleiros Costeiros com Articulação Semiárido Brasileiro (ASA), Centro Dom José Brandão de Castro (CDJBC) e Associação de Agricultores Alternativos (AAGRA) implementaram 60 Unidades de Aprendizagens (UAs) construídas pelas redes sociotécnicas, utilizando metodologia de pesquisa-ação-participativa. As soluções de inovação foram construídas pelas redes sociotécnicas, a partir da realidade local e do diálogo e integração de saberes. É notória a importância das políticas públicas e do protagonismo das famílias, assentados e quilombolas na produção agroecológica de alimentos para a promoção da segurança alimentar e saúde.

Published: December 2023

A saúde é reconhecida como um direito universal e definida como uma condição de bem-estar físico, mental e social, a qual, para além da ausência de doença, implica em múltiplos fatores. Embora os modelos hegemônicos de atenção à saúde ainda estejam voltados a um paradigma biomédico, os determinantes sociais da saúde influenciam sobremaneira a vida das comunidades e dos ecossistemas. Além disso, desde uma perspectiva descolonizadora e complexa, as formas pelas quais os sujeitos, desde seus territórios de vida, subjetividades e experiências constroem saúde e atribuem sentidos a esta são múltiplos. O presente trabalho busca refletir sobre evidências de transversalidades que perpassam as relações entre os campos da saúde e da agroecologia, a despeito da aparente separação desses dois campos, para o senso comum, majoritariamente academicista e cartesiano. Foram elencados elementos comuns às duas áreas de estudo, como ponto de partida para o levantamento bibliográfico e discussão, com a qual se espera contribuir para a divulgação da agroecologia, enquanto ferramenta para a produção de saúde.

Bacterial wilt of tobacco caused by Ralstonia solanacearum poses a significant threat to tobacco cultivation in Bangladesh. In this study, fourteen tobacco growing areas of Bangladesh were surveyed to assess the status of bacterial wilt disease in tobacco. The result revealed that the higher level of bacterial wilt incidence and severity was recorded in Bandarban followed by Naikhonchari, Lama, Rangpur, and Lalmonirhat and the lower level was in Chakaria, Kushtia, Meherpur, Chuadanga, and Jhenaidah. However, a moderate level of incidence and severity was recorded in Manikgonj, Khagrachori, and Tangail. After estimating the bacterial population in the soil of respective regions it was observed that the highest bacterial population was counted at 22.4 x 107 CFU/g soil in Chakaria and the lowest was counted at 4.3 x 107 CFU/g soil in Tangail. Among the seed samples, sample no BWT Seed 21 had the highest level of infection (93%), sample no BWT Seed 37 had a medium level (39.46%), and sample no BWT Seed 57 had the lowest level of infection (5.14%) with R. solanacearum as detected by plating tobacco seed samples by TTC agar medium. Biovar and races of R. solanacearum were identified through the sugar oxidation test and pathogenicity test and it was found that R. solanacearum isolates from all the fourteen growing areas were grouped into race 1 and biovar 1, biovar 2, biovar 3. Genetic diversity of R. solanacearum analysis was done by using REP and ERIC primers where both primers showed three clusters (I, II, and III) at 60% similarity.  The results are very crucial for the development of sustainable management of bacterial wilt of tobacco and for future population analyses of R. solanacearum.

Published: December 2023

Cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COI), known as DNA barcodes, can be employed for the identification of an unknown specimen at the species level. The present study was aimed at performing COI gene-based identification of butterflies using butterfly caterpillars. Consecutively, ten caterpillars of ten different butterfly species from the families Papilionidae, Nymphalidae, Pieridae, Lycaenidae, and Hesperiidae were taken from respective host plants and used to generate COI gene sequences that were about 650 bp long. After BLAST analysis, the sequenced gene revealed 96–100% similarity to the same species from different regions. Then, sequences were submitted to NCBI's GenBank and obtained ten accession numbers. In order to elucidate genetic diversity and evolutionary relationships among ten species of butterfly caterpillars, pairwise distance analysis and the construction of a phylogenetic tree were performed using MEGA10 and BioEdit software. In the analysis, the interspecific genetic divergence among the caterpillars of butterflies was between 0.101-0.164%. A phylogenetic tree was constructed with the assistance of the Neighbor-Joining (NJ) algorithm, which identified two major clades, A and B, as well as indicated that butterflies caterpillars shared a common ancestor. All the species are included in these two clades, except Catopsilia pomona. This species is under the family Pieridae, and the phylogenetic position of Pieridae compared to other butterfly families is ambiguous, necessitating additional research to resolve this issue. The study demonstrated the general applicability of DNA barcoding for rapidly and accurately distinguishing butterfly species, even when using larval stages, as in the present study. Furthermore, it may disclose a higher taxonomic hierarchy of butterfly families.

Authors: Hossen Mohammad Mohaddes , Mamun Md Abdullah Al , Rahman Md Mizanur , Karim M Abdul
Published: December 2023

A field trial was laid out to mitigate the detrimental consequences of waterlogging (WL) on morpho-physiology and productivity of soybeans through potassium (K) application. Soybean genotypes AGS383 and G00166 were tested against 4 days of WL at the flowering stage. The K fertilizer was applied as (i) basal (full dose) and (ii) basal (50%) + top dress (50%) after the termination of a flood. The experiment's results showed that the WL negatively affected leaf greenness, water and chlorophyll (Chl) content, plant height, nodule and pod production, and soybean seed yield. However, the split application of K fertilizer minimized the detrimental effect of WL in the case of AGS383. This genotype produced taller plants, contained more Chl and water, higher nodules, bold seeds, and accumulated higher amounts of mineral nutrients in their grains under WL condition with K as basal + top dress after the termination of a flood.

Authors: Вaсильєвa Мaрія , Компанієць Олексій
Published: December 2023

Творчий потенціал персоналу підприємства є одним з найбільш ефективних ресурсів покращання ефективності ведення бізнесу. У сучасному світі зросла кількість підприємств, орієнтованих на створення нових технологій, що користуються попитом у суспільства та індивідуальному підході працівників до реалізації поставлених завдань. Найважливішу роль у створенні творчого потенціалу організації грає людський потенціал, який включає: компетентність, вміння креативно підходити до вирішення проблем, інтелект, творчі здібності, духовний потенціал, лідерські якості, мотивацію та психометричні дані. Творчий потенціал підприємства – це творчий потенціал його співробітників, який реалізується у командній взаємодії з метою вирішення стратегічних завдань. У статті розглянуто творчий потенціал співробітників організації, його використання, оцінка, формування та розвиток, наведено характерні риси творчого потенціалу, проаналізовано мотивований та невмотивований підходи.

Published: December 2023

В статті розглянуто сутність, теоретичні основи та методи оцінки рівня соціальної відповідальності організації, охарактеризовано стратегічні напрямки формування соціальної відповідальності організації, проведено аналіз сучасних моделей та підходів до підвищення соціальної відповідальності організації, надано оцінку сучасному стану рівня соціальної відповідальності підприємств в Україні, охарактеризовано особливості фінансово-економічного розвитку та рівня розвитку соціальної відповідальності підприємства в умовах воєнного стану, досліджено особливості залучення закордонного досвіду підвищення соціальної відповідальності організацій в країнах, що мають досвід воєнного стану.

Сьогодні діяльність усіх компаній виходить за рамки досягнення бізнес-цілей. Бізнес впливає на економіку, суспільство та навколишнє середовище, що формує корпоративну соціальну відповідальність (КСВ). Бізнес дбає не лише про миттєві прибутки, але й про своїх працівників, громадян, навколишнє середовище та країну в цілому. Зменшення негативного впливу та збільшення позитивного впливу мають вирішальне значення для успіху бізнесу.

Основними проблемами, що погіршують стан соціального середовища, є: скорочення фінансування соціальних потреб, виникнення майнової нерівності, загострення соціальних протиріч та зменшення відрахувань з державного бюджету.

Для вирішення цих проблем необхідним є створення механізмів соціального компромісу, включаючи соціальний контроль для забезпечення балансу інтересів усіх економічних агентів та систему соціальної відповідальності підприємств, держави і суспільства. Реалізація соціального компромісу можлива через дотримання міжнародних стандартів корпоративної соціальної відповідальності та забезпечення стабільності діяльності бізнесу.

Реалізація соціальної відповідальності є сучасним і доцільним способом ефективного управління, який поєднує вдосконалення бізнес-процесів з позитивним впливом корпоративної діяльності на суспільство. На сучасному етапі розвитку бізнесу, особливо в Україні, соціальна відповідальність не є пріоритетом для вдосконалення корпоративного управління. Проте усвідомлення важливості цього механізму та його позитивного впливу з кожним роком зростає, що робить його все більш привабливим для підприємців.
GÉNERO Y CULTURA POPULAR EN LA INTERVENCIÓN DE PLAZAS COMERCIALES PATRIMONIALES

Published: December 2023

Las áreas históricas en América Latina han experimentado procesos de patrimonialización relativamente recientes, donde los centros históricos, correspondientes al tejido de fundación española, han retomado importancia. En consecuencia, se han ejecutado un sinnúmero de proyectos sobre sus espacios públicos con la finalidad de regenerarlos. En el caso de las plazas comerciales, que históricamente han ocupado determinados entornos del área patrimonializada, estas intervenciones se han caracterizado por la búsqueda de un orden y estética que se contrapone a su condición marcadamente popular. Con el objetivo de identificar la problemática derivada de estos procesos de regeneración, los valores patrimoniales que mantienen y las características que invisibilizan o desplazan, se aplica un diseño metodológico basado en técnicas de observación y levantamiento de encuestas y entrevistas en dos plazas comerciales del Centro Histórico de Cuenca, en Ecuador, tras ser intervenidas luego de su declaratoria como Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad, en 1999. Se obtienen dos hallazgos fundamentales: por una parte, el importante uso de estos contextos por mujeres, niños y niñas, quienes son omitidos dentro de los proyectos de intervención; y el desplazamiento de determinadas características. Finalmente, se propone una revisión a la planificación de este tipo de intervenciones para tornarlamás horizontal; para ello, se toma en consideración tres escalas de actuación.

Palabras clave: Centro Histórico, mercado popular, regeneración urbana, perspectiva de género.

AbstractHistoric areas in Latin America have undergone relatively recent processes of heritagization, where historic centers corresponding to the urban grid of Spanish foundations have regained importance. As a result, countless projects have been implemented in their public spaces with the aim of regenerating them. In the case of commercial squares, which have historically occupied certain spaces of the heritage area, these interventions have been characterized by the search for order and aesthetics that contrast with their markedly popular condition. To identify the problems derived from these regeneration processes, the heritage values they maintain,and the characteristics they omit or displace, a methodological design based on observation techniques, surveys, and interviews was applied in two commercial plazas in the Historic Center of Cuenca in Ecuador, after they were intervened following their declaration as Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 1999. Two fundamental findings were obtained: on the one hand, the critical use of these contexts by women and children, who are omitted from the intervention projects, and the displacement of certain characteristics. Finally, a revision of the planning of this type of intervention is proposed in order to make it more horizontal, to this end, three scales of action are considered.

Authors: Del Pino Martínez Inés
Published: December 2023

El artículo expone la morfología de los edificios del campus de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador (PUCE). Las circunstancias iniciales de la construcción tienen relación con el cambio que experimentó Quito entre 1930 y 1960 en el orden urbano, arquitectónico y tecnológico, que permitieron entender la ciudad de manera diferente. En un contexto de menor escala, la arquitectura de la universidad también cambió, no solo por el traslado de la sede hacia la zona de expansión, sino los planes de estudio y la adopción de una arquitectura como representación de un momento histórico diferente. Este artículo tiene por objeto situar los momentos que marcaron hitos en su crecimiento. En este recorrido, destacan los nombres de importantes arquitectos de la década del cincuenta y sesenta como Sixto Durán Ballén, Virgilio Flores, Eduardo Gortaire, y más tarde, Fernando Calle. El artículo concluye que el campus fue construido por etapas, en un recorrido que va desde la arquitectura funcionalista y moderna hasta el reciclaje, la rehabilitación, nuevos materiales y técnicas, que marcan el inicio de una nueva etapa.

AbstractThe article discusses the morphology of buildings on the Pontificia Universidad Católica (PUCE) campus. The initial circumstances of the campus construction are related to Quito's changes between 1930 and 1960 in the urban, architectural, and technological order, which allowed the city to be understood differently. In a smaller-scale context, the university's architecture also changed, not only because of the transfer of the headquarters to the expansion area but also because of the curricula and the adoption of an architecture that represented a different historical moment. This article aims to situate the moments that marked milestonesin its growth. In this journey, essential architects of the fifties and sixties, such as Sixto Durán Ballén, Virgilio Flores, Eduardo Gortaire, and later, Fernando Calle. The article concludes that the campus was built in various stages, from functionalist and modern architecture to recycling, rehabilitation, new materials, and techniques, which mark the beginning of a new phase.

Published: December 2023

The traditional method of swaddling is done with the arms and legs straightened and wrapped tightly with the hips in an adduction position, and the newborns are mostly carried out by traditional swaddling in Indonesia. When swaddling is properly done, infants show less awakening and longer sleep, better neuromuscular development, less physiological stress, better motor organization, and better self-regulation abilities. Improper swaddling can result in conditions that are detrimental for newborns, like SIDS, DDH, which cause stress. The early exposure of the neonates to stress results to residual symptoms in behavior and neurobiological disorders. This study aims to determine the effect of midline position compared to the traditional swaddling regarding physical and autonomics stress sign. The study population consisted of 194 newborns. The midline and traditionally swaddled were observed and recorded, physical and autonomic signs at birth, 10 minutes and 2 hours were documented. This study found that there is statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of cries at 10 minute and 2 hours and so with the heart rate and respiration rate at birth (p<0,05), and a significant difference in oxygen saturation at 10 minutes and 2 hours (p<0,05). Additionally, midline swaddling had a larger average decrease in heart rate and respiration rate, and increase in the oxygen saturation. Therefore, this study can deduce that, midline position swaddling has less stressful effect than the traditional position. The same research elsewhere in Indonesia will be costly. Future research would suggest for larger sample that may suggest a more accurate outcome.

Published: December 2023

Local communities of the Shouf Biosphere Reserve (SBR) have a long history of traditional use of medicinal plants. However, such use has sometimes been accompanied by toxicity symptoms. Therefore, this study aimed to document the ethnobotanical knowledge about the toxicity of medicinal plant species used by local people. Ethnobotanical information was collected during 2019-2021 using semi- structured questionnaires and personal interviews involving 133 local informants (68 women and 65 men with an average age of 58 years). The Frequency of Citation (FC) index was calculated from the data collected during the interviews, which allowed the generation of a list of poisonous plant species used to treat different diseases. The toxicity of highly cited species was discussed according to phytochemical profiles reported in the literature. The findings resulted in a list of 31 plant species from 22 botanical families, with Asteraceae, Euphorbiaceae, and Solanaceae being the most dominant. The most toxic plant species were Ecballium elaterium (L.) A.Rich (FC 11%), Sambucus ebulus L., Ricinus communis L., and Arum palaestinum Boiss. (each of FC 10%). Herbs were the most dominant life form of the cited species. The most toxic parts were the leaves (22% of citations), followed by whole plants and seeds (each 17%), and fruits (11%). Oral ingestion and skin contact were the main routes of toxicity. According to the published literature, toxicity can be primarily attributed to biochemical compounds, such as cucurbitacins, proteaceous glycoprotein, ricin, tropane alkaloids, atropine, cyanogenic glycosides, and pyrrolizidine alkaloids, among other compounds. This work highlights the importance of the traditional knowledge of poisonous plants used in folk medicine and the need for phytochemical and toxicological research. The development of regulatory measures on the use and trade of medicinal plants as well as raising awareness of practitioners and public are also deemed necessary.

Published: December 2023

In this study, the types of violence faced by the healthcare personnel working in the 112 Emergency Health Services and the effect of this situation on the job satisfaction of the healthcare personnel were examined. Questionnaire was applied to 165 emergency healthcare personnel working in Istanbul, between August and October 2021. Demographic information and Hackman and Oldham job satisfaction scale were used in the questionnaire. 80.6% of the participants stated that they were exposed to physical, verbal, psychological or sexual violence. It was determined that 48.7% of the perpetrators were the relatives of the patient and 30.2% were the patients themselves. In addition, it was determined that 78.9% of the attackers were male Significant differences were found between the duration and age of healthcare workers in the institution and their job satisfaction. It has been determined that the job satisfaction of healthcare personnels who are exposed to violence is lower than those who are not exposed to violence. In the state of exposure to violence, the motivation and psychological state of the personnel working in the emergency health services are highly affected, and this has a negative effect on job satisfaction. It is recommended that health managers take measures to protect the health and safety of healthcare personnels and take initiatives to increase job satisfaction.

Published: December 2023

Indonesia is in an epidemiological transition. On the one hand, there is still a problem of malnutrition, but on the other hand, obesity occurs. Increased prevalence of obesity from 15.3% in 2013 to 21.8% in 2018. This situation occurs due to a lack of physical activity and an unbalanced diet. This study aims to see the relationship of Food Choice behavior to the incidence of obesity. The population in the study is students in State Junior High School (SMPN) and State High School (SMAN) in Lembang Village in June 2023. The type of study used cross-sectional with a population of 1,398 adolescents. The purposive sampling technique was used with a sample of 94 adolescents. Data collection used the Food Choice Questionnaire (FCQ). The results showed that the most important reasons for food choice in adolescents with obese nutritional status were mood (4.00 ± 0.00), comfort (4.00 ± 0.00), and habits (4.00 ± 0.00). They had a significant relationship with each p-value = 0.00. The nutritional status of obesity is significantly related to the reasons for Food Choice on mood, comfort, and habits. Therefore, it is expected that related parties provide an understanding of the importance of choosing foods that can support health.

Published: December 2023

Exclusive breastfeeding is one of the important contributions to reducing maternal mortality, infant mortality, economic and environmental benefits. However, mothers still face many barriers during exclusive breastfeeding. This study aims to explain the perceived barriers to breastfeeding and find the most dominant barriers to breastfeeding. This type of research is quantitative research with analytic observational design and case-control method. The number of respondents in this study was 86 breastfeeding mothers, with a division of 43 mothers into case groups and 43 mothers into control groups. Sampling was determined by simple random sampling technique using an online number randomization application, namely random generator. Data were obtained from an original survey using an online questionnaire distributed through a social media platform in the form of a google form link. The results showed that barriers to exclusive breastfeeding from the social aspect, namely inadequate support from health care providers, were the most visible, followed by barriers from the maternal and infant aspects. Lack of health worker support (AOR= 22.621) was considered the main barrier to exclusive breastfeeding for six months among mothers in Gorontalo City, Indonesia. This was followed by lack of knowledge on breastfeeding. The lowest barrier was family support. Research on barriers to exclusive breastfeeding can help nurses and midwives develop breastfeeding promotion programs to increase exclusive breastfeeding among women in Gorontalo City, Indonesia.

This study aims to determine the adequate time needed to produce quality liquid compost from organic waste at the Health Polytechnic Of Kendari and examine the toxicological effects of waste on human health. The results showed that the effective time for producing liquid compost was 36 days with a volume of 2500 mL, and the fastest liquid compost production was 7 days with a volume of 1200 mL. The ideal ratio of C/N composting is 30 : 1. There was a temperature fluctuation within 109 days. The mesophilic phase at the beginning of this study lasted 22 days with a temperature range of 34.5 – 34.9 oC. The second phase is the thermophilic phase, characterized by an increase in temperature, namely up to 40-54.9 oC, which lasts for 36 days. And the maturation stage in this study lasted for 51 days with a temperature range of 44.4 – 32.2 oC. The pH of liquid compost from organic waste has increased, ranging from 2.3 – 4.2. on day 7, the compost turned light brown; from day 44 to day 109, it turned dark brown. Liquid compost production from day 7 to day 85 has a distinctive odour, while liquid compost from day 95 to day 109 has a slight odour. The toxicological effects of organic waste include polluting the environment and disrupting human health, namely respiratory problems, heart problems, cancer, risk of death or premature death.

An Equivalent to the Riemann Hypothesis
Authors: Vega Frank
Published: December 2023

The Riemann hypothesis is a conjecture that the Riemann zeta function has its zeros only at the negative even integers and complex numbers with real part $\frac{1}{2}$. It is considered by many to be the most important unsolved problem in pure mathematics. There are several statements equivalent to the famous Riemann hypothesis. Robin's criterion states that the Riemann hypothesis is true if and only if the inequality $\sigma(n) < e^{\gamma} \cdot n \cdot \log \log n$ holds for all natural numbers $n > 5040$, where $\sigma(n)$ is the sum-of-divisors function of $n$, $\gamma \approx 0.57721$ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant and $\log$ is the natural logarithm. We prove that the Riemann hypothesis is true whenever there exists a large enough positive number $x_{0}$ such that for all $x > x_{0}$ we obtain the approximate value of \[\sum_{n \leq \alpha_{x}} \frac{1}{n} - \sum_{n \leq \frac{x}{\log x}} \frac{e^{-\gamma}}{n \cdot \left(\log(n \cdot \log n)-1+{\frac {(\log \log n-2)}{\log n}}+O\left({\frac {(\log \log n)^{2}}{(\log n)^{2}}}\right)\right)}\] is lesser than or equal to $e^{-\gamma} \cdot \left(\gamma - B - \frac{1}{2 \cdot (x - 1)}\right)$ where $B \approx 0.26149$ is the Meissel-Mertens constant and $\alpha_{x} = \left(\log x + \frac{0.0222 \cdot \log x}{\log \log x}\right)$. Since the approximate expression goes to $0$ as $x$ tends to infinity, then we deduce that the Riemann hypothesis must be true.
The Gender Perspective of the Women's Press in Socialist Yugoslavia – the Representation of Masculinity in the Women's Magazine „Bazar“
Authors: Bogdanović В.
Published: December 2023

The paper examines the way in which a male figure is portrayed in one of the oldest (at the same time, the most widely circulated) Yugoslav women's magazines, „Bazar“. In a methodological sense, the work is based on the data obtained from the analysis of textual and visual messages in the editions published in the tenth anniversary year (1973). The aim of the paper is to provide insight into 25 issues of an exemplary socialist magazine in order to 1) look at the media portrayal of men in the socialist women's press, 2) discuss some aspects of the construction of masculinity in the socialist media discourse, and 3) review the way gender relations in Yugoslav society were portrayed in the narratives of the women's magazine „Bazar“.
Сновидец без сновидения: модели смещенной локализации субъектности у соматических пациентов (по материалам пандемии COVID-19)
The Dreamer Without a Dream: The Patterns of Displaced Localization of Subjectivity in Somatic Patients (Based on the COVID-19 Pandemic)
Authors: Бочков Д.
Published: December 2023

В последние годы одним из ярких проявлений общественного интереса к теме сновидений со стороны т.н. культур модерна стали ковидные сновидения, значительно отличающиеся по мнению сновидцев от привычных им онейрических паттернов. Сами сновидцы, как и исследователи сновидений, связывают подобные изменения сна, приобретшие массовый характер во время пандемии COVID-19, как с участившимися проявлениями стресса и тревоги вследствие социальных ограничений и карантинных мер, так и с непосредственным влиянием вируса на активность мозга. Автор статьи выделяет последнюю характеристику как ключевую для ковидных сновидений и многочисленных свидетельств о них, появившихся в масс-медиа, социальных сетях и дневниках сновидений в начале 2020-х гг., и приходит к выводу, что ситуации рассказа о сновидении (dream sharing) способствуют социальной идентификации, но имплицитно смещают локус субъектности самого сновидца. Таким образом, заразившийся вирусом сновидец и рассказчик оказывается в парадоксальном положении, в котором его собственное сновидение принадлежит ему не до конца.
In recent years, one of the most striking manifestations of public interest in the topic of dreams on the part of so-called modern cultures has been COVID dreams which dreamers consider to be significantly different from their usual oneiric patterns. Dreamers themselves, as well as dream social researchers, attribute these changes which became widespread during the COVID-19 pandemic, both to increased manifestations of stress and anxiety due to social restrictions and quarantine measures, and to the direct effect of the virus on brain activity. The author identifies the latter as a key characteristic of COVID dreams and the numerous stories that appeared in mass media, social networks and dream blogs in the early 2020s, and concludes that social situations of dream sharing facilitate social identification but implicitly shift the locus of subjectivity of the dreamer. Thus, the corona-infected dreamer and dream-teller find themselve in a paradoxical position in which their own dream does not fully belong to them.
Piecing together a complex puzzle: 5 key challenges in basic dystonia research
Authors: Scarduzio Mariangela , Standaert David G.
Published: December 2023

Dystonia refers to a heterogeneous group of movement disorders characterized by involuntary, sustained muscle contractions leading to repetitive twisting movements and abnormal postures. Dystonia has a broad clinical spectrum and can affect different body regions, causing significant disability and reduced quality of life. Despite significant progress in understanding the disorder, many challenges in dystonia research remain. This mini-review aims to highlight the major challenges facing basic and translational research in this field, including 1) heterogeneity of the disorder, 2) limited understanding of its pathophysiology, 3) complications of using animal models, 4) lack of a framework linking genes, biochemistry, circuits, and clinical phenomenology, and 5) limited research funding. Identifying and discussing these challenges can help prioritize research efforts and resources, highlight the need for further investigation and funding, and inspire action towards addressing these challenges.

Published: December 2023

Introduction: Bio-cementation processes [namely, microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) and enzyme induced carbonate precipitation (EICP)] have recently become promising techniques for solidifying loose sands. However, these methods release gaseous ammonia to the atmosphere, which is not desirable for real-scale applications. This study aims to propose an enzyme induced calcium phosphate precipitation (EICPP) method as a sustainable direction for the solidification of sand.

Methods: Precipitation of calcium phosphate compound (CPC) was driven through pH-dependent mechanism regulated by enzymatic hydrolysis of urea. The baseline study was designed to consist of a series of precipitation tests and sand column tests, evaluating the influence of various recipes of cementation media (CM) on treatment efficiency. The evaluation program consisted of Unconfined compression tests, precipitation content measurement, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction.

Results: The observations showed that the content of urea had an important role in proposed EICPP treatment, which determined the extent of the pH increase. This increase had a great influence on 1) utilization of soluble calcium, 2) precipitation content of calcium phosphate, and 3) the morphology of the precipitates. Results of sand column test suggested that injecting CM that consisted of acid-dissolved bone meal, urea and urease enzyme could result in the deposition of insoluble CPC that enabled the solidification of sand particles.

Discussion: The precipitation quantity was found to increase with the increase in urea content; however, the treatment media with high urea content resulted amorphous-like crystals. The plate-like crystals were evidenced in CM with [Ca]/[urea] molar ratio between 1.5–2.0. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that irrespective of the urea contents, the formed crystals were identified as brushite. Since the final pH of proposed EICPP method could be controllable within acidic-neutral conditions, the emission of ammonia gas would be eliminated.

Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a naturally occurring localized disease caused by the Japanese encephalitis virus, which is spread by the Culex tritaeniorhynchus. China has a high rate of JE. Shanxi, located in North China, has a high prevalence of adult JE. Adult JE has more severe complications, mortality, and a higher disease burden, making it a public health issue. This retrospective study examined the dynamic epidemic changes, high-risk areas of JE, and clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of adult JE in Shanxi Province. The findings revealed that July to September was the primary epidemic season of JE and that JE cases were mainly in individuals over the age of 40. The incidence of JE from 2005 to 2022 demonstrated a positive spatial correlation with significant clustering characteristics, with high-incidence clusters in the south and southeast. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that higher cerebrospinal fluid pressure, higher white blood cell counts, higher neutrophil percentage, deep coma, and lower albumin were independent factors for poor prognosis of adult JE. The developed risk prediction model holds great promise in early prognosis assessment of patients, providing a basis for clinical decision-making and early clinical intervention.
