Diagnóstico de estructuras basado en vibraciones a partir de una red local de acelerógrafos
Authors: Mendez Serrano Rosalin Del Carmen , Gómez Ríos Margie Elena , Ho González Carlos Agustín
Published: July 2023

La evaluación para establecer las necesidades de una estructura es bastante compleja y más si se requiere información que no está disponible. Por consiguiente, es necesario el análisis y estrategias experimentales; ya que las guías y normativas disponibles para la evaluación de estructuras existentes están limitadas al juicio ingenieril y particularidades de cada caso, lo cual hace que estas no puedan ser fácilmente definidas o estandarizadas.

Por lo tanto, el objetivo de esta investigación se enfoca en validar la eficiencia del análisis de vibraciones, para diagnosticar problemas estructurales, comparado con metodologías tradicionales que incorporan el uso de técnicas no destructivas en una estructura operativa. Para tales efectos, se presenta el caso de estudio de una edificación residencial, donde se evaluó un sistema de paredes que han presentado de manera persistente agrietamientos; a pesar de que algunos de estos elementos fueron reemplazados completamente.

Se efectuó un monitoreo de respuestas de vibraciones y la data se utilizó para elaborar modelos matemáticos, cuyos errores de ajuste sirvieron para el diseño de indicadores de daños que en conjunto con técnicas de Machine Learning, para el reconocimiento estadístico de patrones, se pudo caracterizar dinámicamente el sistema estudiado y diagnosticar que este no presentaba un desempeño anómalo que pudiera haber influenciado el comportamiento deficiente de los sistemas de mampostería.

Published: July 2023

Our study aimed to examine the prevalence of atherosclerotic burden in a predominantly non-white cohort of patients from LA County who underwent coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) and coronary CT angiogram (CCTA) for the evaluation of cardiomyopathy of ischemic origin. Ischemic cardiomyopathy, primarily caused by reduced blood supply to the heart, is the most common type of cardiomyopathy. CCTA is a well-established and non-invasive imaging test used to assess the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD) in individuals suspected of having it.

We analyzed data from 131 patients with cardiomyopathy who were referred to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center between August 2016 and September 2020. These patients had no chest pain, no q waves on electrocardiogram (ECG), and exhibited cardiomyopathy with reduced ejection fraction (EF) without wall motion abnormalities on transthoracic echocardiogram.

Among the 131 patients included in our study, the average age was 54.6 years, with 93 (71%) being male. The racial distribution was as follows: 71 (54%) Hispanic, 17 (13%) White, 24 (18%) African American, and 10 (8%) Asian. Various risk factors for coronary artery disease were present, including diabetes mellitus (30%), hypertension (75%), hyperlipidemia (45%), and smoking (46%).

We assessed CACS using the Agatston score, while atherosclerotic disease burden was evaluated using total plaque score (TPS), total segment stenosis score (TSSS), and segment involvement score (SIS). Of the patients, 55 (42%) had a CACS of zero, 28 (21%) had a CACS below 10, and the median (interquartile range) of TPS was 1 (1, 5). The median TSSS and SIS were both 1 (1, 5) and 0 (1, 4), respectively. A total of 23 patients (18%) exhibited 50% stenosis indicative of obstructive CAD, while 13 patients (10%) had even more severe stenosis of 75% or greater.

Our findings revealed that the majority of patients in our cohort had non-obstructive CAD, suggesting that non-ischemic factors were the primary cause of their cardiomyopathy. Additionally, our study demonstrated that CCTA is an effective non-invasive diagnostic tool for cardiomyopathy, allowing for the avoidance of more invasive procedures in a predominantly non-white population receiving care at a public hospital in LA County.

Published: July 2023

Gastric cancer (GC) is a major health burden worldwide, but our understanding of GC is limited, and the prognosis is poor. Novel therapeutic strategies and biomarkers are urgently needed to improve GC patient outcomes. Previously, we identified PFDN2 as a novel key gene in gastric cancer based on its differential expression between cancer and normal tissues. However, the role and underlying mechanisms of PFDN2 in GC remain elusive. In this article, we demonstrated that PFDN2 is highly expressed in GC and that upregulation of PFDN2 is associated with the progression of GC. We further found that PFDN2 could promote cell cycle progression by promoting MYBL2 expression. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that PFDN2 could upregulate MYBL2 expression by facilitating the nuclear translocation of hnRNPD, and thus promoting MYBL2 transcriptional program. In conclusion, we found that PFDN2 promotes cell cycle progression via the hnRNPD-MYBL2 axis and may serve as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for GC.
Comparison and synthesis of two aerospace case studies to develop human-autonomy teaming requirements
Authors: Tokadlı Güliz , Dorneich Michael C.
Published: July 2023

This paper developed human-autonomy teaming (HAT) characteristics and requirements by comparing and synthesizing two aerospace case studies (Single Pilot Operations/Reduced Crew Operations and Long-Distance Human Space Operations) and the related recent HAT empirical studies. Advances in sensors, machine learning, and machine reasoning have enabled increasingly autonomous system technology to work more closely with human(s), often with decreasing human direction. As increasingly autonomous systems become more capable, their interactions with humans may evolve into a teaming relationship. However, humans and autonomous systems have asymmetric teaming capabilities, which introduces challenges when designing a teaming interaction paradigm in HAT. Additionally, developing requirements for HAT can be challenging for future operations concepts, which are not yet well-defined. Two case studies conducted previously document analysis of past literature and interviews with subject matter experts to develop domain knowledge models and requirements for future operations. Prototype delegation interfaces were developed to perform summative evaluation studies for the case studies. In this paper, a review of recent literature on HAT empirical studies was conducted to augment the document analysis for the case studies. The results of the two case studies and the literature review were compared and synthesized to suggest the common characteristics and requirements for HAT in future aerospace operations. The requirements and characteristics were grouped into categories of team roles, autonomous teammate types, interaction paradigms, and training. For example, human teammates preferred the autonomous teammate to have human-like characteristics (e.g., dialog-based conversation, social skills, and body gestures to provide cue-based information). Even though more work is necessary to verify and validate the requirements for HAT development, the case studies and recent empirical literature enumerate the types of functions and capabilities needed for increasingly autonomous systems to act as a teammate to support future operations.

Background

Suicide is the fourth external cause of death in the world, in persons between the ages of l5 and 29. The objectives of this study were to measure the prevalence of suicidal behavior in university students and analyze the relationship of suicide risk with psychological distress, resilience, and family and social support.

Methods

An observational and transversal study wherein the students at the University of Malaga (Spain) completed an online questionnaire which included items from different scales, sociodemographic and academic questions, and the subjective impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Descriptive analyses and prevalence rates of suicidal behavior were calculated, and bivariate analyses, multiple linear regression, and a mediation and moderation analyses were conducted.

Results

A total of 2,212 students completed the questionnaire. The prevalence of the last 6 months was 30.4% wishing for death, 14.7% suicidal ideation, 5% self-harm injuries, and 0.5% suicide attempts. Psychological distress, family and social support were linked to the risk of suicide. Lastly, resilience and family support measure and moderate the relation between psychological stress and suicide risk.

Conclusion

Psychological distress is a risk factor for suicidal behavior, while resilience and family and social support are linked to a lower risk of suicide.

Authors: MuñozPérez David Felipe , Medina Rojas Rolando , Torres Restrepo Juan Manuel , Saavedra Henao Juan David
Published: July 2023

Introducción. Las hernias de la pared abdominal afectan entre el 10 al 15% de la población mundial, siendo hasta el 60% de estas hernias inguinales. Las hernias inguinales gigantes son poco comunes, pero con una gran carga de enfermedad para el paciente. Caso clínico. Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 51 años, con antecedente de diabetes mellitus tipo II, proveniente de zona rural aislada, por cuatro días de evolución consistente en quemadura escrotal por metal caliente, relacionada a una hernia inguinoescrotal derecha gigante. Es llevado a intervención quirúrgica por cirugía general y urología. Por adecuada evolución clínica se da de alta al 5to día posoperatorio.Discusión. Las hernias inguinales gigantes son raras y frecuentemente se presentan en pacientes de bajo estrato socioeconómico, procedencia rural y cierto grado de negligencia. El reto del equipo quirúrgico consiste en lidiar con los posibles efectos adversos de la reducción del contenido herniario en un abdomen con diversos grados de perdida del dominio. Se puede requerir resección o debulking del contenido abdominal o la expansión de la cavidad abdominal mediante frenectomía, neumoperitoneo progresivo perioperatorio o la creación de hernias ventrales mediante maniobras avanzadas. La reparación con malla libre de tensión disminuye el riesgo de recurrencia. Conclusión: La hernia inguinal gigante es una patología rara. El cirujano general está llamado a conocer el abanico de opciones que existen en caso de enfrentarse a estos pacientes, lo cual ayuda a reducir la elevada morbimortalidad y altas tasas de recurrencia.
ROL ACTUAL DEL ANTIGENO CARCINOEMBRIONARIO (CEA) EN EL MANEJO DEL CANCER DEL COLON
Authors: Bannura Guillermo
Published: July 2023

El antígeno carcinoembrionario (CEA) es un marcador tumoral ampliamente empleado en el manejo del cáncer colorrectal, especialmente en el seguimiento de los pacientes resecados con intención curativa. El objetivo de esta revisión es actualizar el rol del CEA en el manejo de los pacientes intervenidos por un cáncer de colon estadios I-III considerando la mejor evidencia disponible.Dada la sensibilidad modesta en el tumor primario (40%), la cual sube al 60-80% en los casos de recidiva, se propone la medición precoz del marcador (alrededor del mes) de las resecciones R0, toda vez que el valor debiera estar normalizado, especialmente si estaba elevado en el preoperatorio. Una elevación sostenida o un alza > de 10 ng/ml en el control precoz es indicativo de enfermedad residual y/o a distancia, lo que implica un rastreo clínico intensivo. Aunque el CEA preoperatorio tiene un valor pronóstico categórico, el CEA postoperatorio precoz elevado parece tener un valor pronóstico de recidiva superior.Un seguimiento intensivo parece razonable en los pacientes con factores de riesgo de recidiva, lo que incluye la medición del CEA en forma seriada. El cut-off óptimo del CEA es motivo de controversia, con una tendencia a bajar el umbral de lo considerado normal (5 ng/ml) en los últimos años, lo que podría mejorar el balance entre sensibilidad y especificidad del test.Nuevas técnicas como el ADN circulante en combinación con el CEA se han propuesto para mejorar la oportunidad del diagnóstico de una recidiva, actualmente en evaluación.

Published: July 2023

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Pediatric patients are underdiagnosed and underreported, have a signicantly high mortality risk. CBNAAT is a good diagnostic method to detect mycobacterium tubercule bacilli (MTB). Material and methods: A Prospective observational study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital. 171 pediatric patients with clinical features suggestive of presumptive pulmonary or extrapulmonary tuberculosis based on RNTCP guidelines were included in the study. Relevant demographic, clinical and laboratory details were recorded. Patients were labelled as bacteriologically conrmed tuberculosis (if found positive on microscopy, culture and CBNAAT) while labelled as clinically diagnosed, in absence of bacteriological conrmation but imaging ndings, other diagnostic tests and /or clinical ndings were suggestive of pulmonary or extrapulmonary tuberculosis. CBNAAT detected TB bacilli in Results: 57.9% patients hospitalized with clinical suspicion of TB. CBNAAT was also positive in all Z N smear positive patients (n-8) [p <0.05] while 55.8% of smear negative cases were detected by CBNAAT. The detection rate of Rifampicin resistant TB was 2.9% in the study population (p<0.05). CBNAAT not only identies TB bacilli and Rifampicin resistance but also Conclusions: useful in early treatment initiation. It is a good diagnostic tool for diagnosis of TB in children who mostly remain underreported and improperly treated.

Cavitator for production of magnetorheological suspension
Authors:   Gordeev B.A. Ivanov E.G. Okhulkov S.N. Ermolaev A.I. Plehov A.S.
Published: July 2023

It is proposed to use magnetorheological suspensions in shock load damping systems. Physical substantiations and technological methods for obtaining magnetorheological fluids and the possibility of controlling their performance are considered. When obtaining a ferromagnetic powder, it is proposed to use a vortex cavitator, which provides constant sizes and shape of grains, high productivity, and excludes inclusions. The sensitivity of the powder to the influence of a magnetic field makes it possible to improve the well-known acoustic-cavitation process by supplementing it with an electromagnetic system that creates a vortex magnetic field of the required frequency.

ENGLISH NEOLOGISMS OF ANCIENT GREEK AND LATIN ORIGIN IN THE FIELD OF PSYCHOLOGY
Authors: STEPANYAN Araksya
Published: July 2023

In our rapidly developing world, people often need to create words to name new concepts. The process of creating a new word is actually very complex and consists of a number of stages that are mostly carried out at the subconscious level. People need to understand the role of a newly encountered phenomenon in the world around them and how that phenomenon will be classified within the framework of the already familiar categories. Another problem is the choice of the outer (phonetic) form of the newly created word, which is mainly based on the categorization process of the new phenomenon encountered by a person. This paper is aimed at studying the role of morphemes of Ancient Greek and Latin origin in the process of coining neologisms in the field of psychology. Psychology is a rapidly developing branch of science, and consequently new words need to be coined frequently. In the paper, we tried to reveal what kind of categorization processes take place when creating new words, and how these processes affect the external phonetic composition of given neologisms, and in particular, why Ancient Greek or Latin morphemes are chosen for coining neologisms in the field of psychology.

Individual difficulties and significant effects on physical, emotional, and social well-being characterize the experiences of Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL). They usually experience a loss of autonomy, limited mobility, and restricted access to opportunities and resources when they are housed in correctional facilities or detention centers. This study aimed to determine the lived experiences of PDL inside the jail using a phenomenological qualitative research approach. Five PDL, five custodial/police officers, and two human rights officers from southern part of the Philippines were the informants of the study. Results revealed that the PDL have been treated well by the custodial or police officers, however, inadequate food and poor facilities such as ventilation, toilet, and detention centers are evident. The facilities do not have space where the PDL can do some physical exercise. The facility has also not established a program that promotes the mental and emotional wellbeing of its PDL. Although they are given quiet time to pray in their cells, there is no place dedicated for the inmates to practice whatever religion they have. Also, close visits with the inmates have been prohibited during Covid-19 pandemic andonly the cell leaders and police officers keep the PDL sanity and well-being. Therefore, it is recommended that the authorities adhere carefully to the national standards for detention facilities in order to provide a compassionate supply of basic necessities and ensure the mental and emotional health of the PDL.

Published: July 2023

SeO2-based samples were tested for the oxidation of ?-pinene and of benzil alcohol using ethanol as solvent. Commercial SeO2 was tested both at reflux and at 6 atm. of O2. At conversion level of approximately 40%, the yield of myrtenal was much higher in the latter case (34.4%) than under reflux (18.0%). A palladium-promoted selenium dioxide-supported catalyst (Pd/SeO2/SiO2) was prepared. Characterization results indicated that selenium dioxide (14.4%) strongly interacts with silica support. The introduction of palladium (0.98%) modifies the reducibility of SeO2, originating a selenium species activation towards allylic oxidation. A conversion level of 23% is attained over Pd/SeO2/SiO2 after 15 h of reaction time, using ethanol as solvent at 134°C the main product being myrtenal, obtained with a selectivity of 76%. Pd/SeO2/SiO2 allows to carry out a catalytic allylic oxidation of ?-pinene, being the catalyst easy to handle and being possible its recovery and reuse after the reaction in liquid phase.

The radiation heat transfer over vertically placed circular disks under vacuum and air medium were experimentally investigated. Two type’s disks black and grey were considered for the study, which were placed vertically inside a heated chamber called an oven. A constant temperature was imposed inside the chamber. The chamber was partially vacuumed to prepare vacuum medium by controlling the air pressure with -0.8 to 0.6 bar.  To understand the heat transfer, time requirement to obtain certain temperatures and heat transfer coefficient were calculated. Correlation between temperature and heat transfer coefficient were also analyzed. The findings highlighted that black disk provided the highest heat transfer coefficient and the lowest time requirement to achieve a certain temperature. Polynomial relationships between temperature and heat transfer coefficient for black and grey disks with R2 less than 1 were obtained through the trendlines.

Weaving a Queer Space of Refuge, Resistance and Autonomy in Mexico City
Authors: Amatista Miranda , Vilenica Ana
Published: July 2023

La Comune Lencha-Trans is a unique women-only space that combines the functions of a home, a shelter, and a cultural center. It was established in January 2020 with the intention of hosting poetry events and serving as a public kitchen. In this conversation Miranda Amatista shares the history of the space, which is organized and led by a group of lesbian, trans, and queer women, deeply connected to other feminist, trans, prisoner-rights, women vendors, and anti-capitalist political and social movements.Miranda emphasized their belief in the power of creating alternative spaces and ways of life as a form of resistance against the system. The commune is one such alternative, where they strive to foster a sense of community, empowerment, and solidarity.
The struggle for problematising housing (in Italy): Reflections from Naples, Turin and beyond
Authors: Tulumello Simone
Published: July 2023

During the last 15 years, amid the global impacts of the economic crisis, austerity politics, and increasing centrality of real estate and construction for capitalism, housing has taken central stage in public and political debates globally. In Italy, the trajectory of housing politicisation has been quite peculiar. Despite a longstanding tradition of housing conflict and a complex geography of new mobilisations, housing has remained at the margins of national discussions. Seen through the lens of Foucauldian problematisation analysis, housing has not been acknowledged as a ‘problem’ in Italy. This article engages with the Italian peculiarity through a comparative study of housing problematisation—operationalised through the dimensions of framing, coalitions and scale. I compare two cities where analogous challenges intersect with very different housing regimes and political contexts: in Turin, the capacity of short-term housing policies to address pressing problems is mirrored by a lack of engagement by institutional and politicised actors; in Naples, in a housing regime defined by informal solutions, the relations among the local authorities and social movements have oscillated among dialogue, conflict, institutionalisation and pacification. By putting these cases in conversation through a generative, relational and multi-scalar lens, I discuss housing problematisation in a country, Italy, characterised by deep regional asymmetries, regionally-specific housing regimes and a complex geography of housing conflict. By reconsidering the national case vis-à-vis broader dynamics, in conclusion, I also provide some takeaways for a reflection on the conditions, preconditions and efforts for scaling up the housing struggle.
MEANS OF PROVING MISUSE OF INSIDER INFORMATION
Authors: Брянская Е.В.
Published: July 2023

Одним из главных направлений политики нашего государства является противодействие коррупции, которая имеет различные проявления. До сих пор коррупционная преступность относится к латентной, в связи с чем достаточно остро стоит вопрос о разработке средств доказывания по отдельным категориям уголовных дел. Универсальный алгоритм процессуальных и следственных действий выработать достаточно сложно, поскольку каждый факт преступной деятельности оригинален. Особое значение приобретает опыт взаимодействия органов уголовного преследования, суда (по вопросам разрешений в рамках судебного контроля), финансовых структур, в частности применительно к таким фактам, которые касаются неправомерного использования инсайдерской информации

One of the main directions of the policy of our state is the fight against corruption, which is expressed in various manifestations. However, until now, corruption crimes are classified as latent crimes. In this regard, the issue of developing means of proof for certain categories of criminal cases is quite acute. Of course, it is difficult to develop a universal algorithm for procedural and investigative actions, since each fact of criminal activity is original and it is difficult to impose a common template when investigating a specific criminal case. However, there are such facts of criminal acts that can be most effectively detected and investigated in hot pursuit, through confidential operational-search activities. Therefore, the experience of interaction between the criminal prosecution authorities, the court (on the issues of permits within the framework of judicial control), financial structures in relation to such facts that relate to the misuse of insider information is of particular importance.

Published: July 2023

The demand for negotiation training has grown steadily, driven by the need to thrive in an ever-changing business landscape. Numerous studies have been conducted to identify effective approaches to negotiation training. However, the pace of development in negotiation training has not kept up with the increasing demand. This research aims to shed light on current trends in negotiation training research to identify gaps that can be addressed through further investigation. In order to explore this topic, a comprehensive examination was conducted using the Scopus database, resulting in the selection of 39 journal articles for further analysis. The findings of this review reveal several gaps in the existing literature, particularly concerning the integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in negotiation training. Furthermore, the review highlights a tendency for negotiation training to remain static, lacking the ability to capture and provide feedback on the dynamic changes during the negotiation process.
