Published: March 2024

Se evaluó el efecto de la proporción disolvente-tejido (PDT) y el tipo de tejido liofilizado (TL) en EAU sobre el contenido de compuestos fenólicos totales (CFT) y el rendimiento de extracción (RE) de B. alicastrum. Los compuestos fenólicos de la cáscara, piel de semilla, semilla y hoja liofilizado fueron extraídos con etanol-agua destilada (1:1, v/v) en un baño de ultrasonidos variando PDT entre 20 y 60 mL g‒1 a 30 min, 30 °C y 100 % de amplitud. Las variables de respuesta evaluadas fueron: CFT y RE. Los efectos principales (TL y PDT) y su interacción mostraron una influencia significativa en EAU de polifenoles. A mayor PDT se obtuvo el mayor contenido de CFT. Al comparar TL, la semilla y la cáscara del fruto exhibieron mayor valor de CFT y RE, respectivamente. A un valor PDT de 60 mL g‒1 mejoró la EAU de compuestos fenólicos de los tejidos analizados.

El cambio climático y el crecimiento poblacional demandan nuevas y novedosas alternativas sustentables para mejorar el crecimiento y la producción de cultivos. El objetivo de este trabajo fue estudiar el efecto bioestimulante de maltodextrina y nanopartículas de óxido de zinc sobre la biomasa y parámetros delrendimiento de pepino. El experimento se estableció bajo un diseño de bloques completos al azar con arreglo factorial 5X2, con ocho repeticiones. Los tratamientosconsistieron en cuatro bioestimulantes y un tratamiento control y dos vías de aplicación (foliar y drench). Los bioestimulantes evaluados fueron maltodextrina pura, maltodextrina refinada, nanopartículas de óxido de zinc solas y recubiertas con maltodextrina, aplicados a 1 000 ppm. Se midieron variables de peso fresco y seco aéreo, peso fresco y seco de raíz, número, peso, diámetro polar y diámetro ecuatorial de fruto. Los resultados indican que la maltodextrina pura y refinada aumentaron el peso seco aéreo un 26.74% y 23.30% respectivamente cuando se aplicaron vía foliar. Además, la aplicación de maltodextrina vía foliar incrementó el número de frutos en un 31.56%, mientras que las nanopartículas de óxido de zinc vía drench un 32.39%. La vía de aplicación de los bioestimulantes tuvo un impacto significativo en el peso seco aéreo número de frutos, diámetro polar del fruto y diámetro ecuatorial del fruto. Tanto la maltodextrina como las nanopartículas de óxido de zinc, en ambas presentaciones, mostraron efectos bioestimulantespositivos en la biomasa y calidad de los frutos de pepino.

Published: March 2024

Debido a los problemas de salud producidos por el alto consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados, es necesario determinar el contenido de compuestos fenólicos durante la elaboración de panes artesanales fermentados con dos tipos de harina, un cultivo iniciador y dos sustratos vegetales. Se prepararon cinco formulaciones, harina de trigo+agua (HT), harina de trigo integral+agua (HTI), harina de trigo integral+agua+cerveza (HTIC), harina de trigo integral+agua+cerveza+chile habanero (HTICH) y harina de trigo integral+agua+cerveza+chile serrano (HTICS). El pan HTIC fue el más esponjoso y los panes HT y HTI fueron los más ácidos. En las diferentes etapas del proceso de elaboración de pan, la cantidad de fenoles totales fue mayor en la masa madre HTICS (33.74±0.03 mg EAG/100 g), mientras que el pan HT tuvo el mayor contenido de flavonoides totales (13.32±0.06 mg EQ/100 g). Los panes artesanales pueden considerarse como un alimento funcional para mejorar la salud del ser humano.

La caoba y el cedro son especies nativas de América Tropical y se consideran maderas preciosas tropicales más valiosas del mundo. Por lo que se han establecido plantaciones forestales a escala comercial, dándole un manejo silvícola sustentable, siendo la fertilización una de las prácticas más importantes. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el efecto de cuatro dosis de fertilización sobre el crecimiento de caoba y cedro en fase temprana en un suelo ácido de sabana, así como determinar la demanda nutrimental de NPK de cada especie. En el experimento se probaron ocho tratamientos de fertilización en las dos especies. Las variables estudiadas fueron altura total y diámetro del tallo, realizándose mediciones durante 10 meses. Para estimar la demanda nutrimental, se muestrearon cuatro árboles completos; y se determinó su concentración NPK en cada tejido (hoja, tallo y raíz). Los resultados muestran que el cedro presentó mayor crecimiento en altura y diámetro. La variable altura en la especie cedro, fue la que mostró diferencias estadísticas significativas, siendo el tratamiento 17-17-60 con las cantidades de 35 y 50 g con un incremento de 177 cm. La cantidad de nutriente de NPK que demandan ambas especies presentan una relación en el orden siguiente N>K>P. La mayor extracción de N, P y K la realiza el tallo y en menor cantidad la raíz. Y en el caso de la mayor concentración de nutriente se encuentra en las hojas. El cedro mostró mayor demanda nutrimental y mejor exploración de la rizósfera que la caoba.

El municipio de Amatepec con una superficie plantada de 338 hectáreas es el principal productor de café en el Estado de México, con la participación de 230 productores tiene un volumen de producción de 393 toneladas. Con el objetivo de conocer las características socioeconómicas, económicas, agronómicas y culturales de los cafeticultores para establecer un análisis de la producción en el municipio, entre diciembre de 2021 y marzo del 2022 se llevó a cabo el levantamiento de la información en 18 localidades, mediante una entrevista aplicada a 80 productores, considerando un muestreo probabilístico. Se evaluaron 36 variables divididas en los cuatro aspectos anteriormente señalados. El promedio de edad fue de 56.07 años, predominan los hombres (81.2%), el 30% de los entrevistados tienen licenciatura y el 11% de estos son profesores (primaria). El 46.3% vende el café como molido, entre $180.00 y $250.00 pesos kilogramo, así el 92.4% de la producción se destina para el mercado local. Un 55.9% de los productores obtienen rendimientos menores a 2 000 kg·ha-1, con ingresos de $10 001.00 a $100 000.00 pesos anuales (55.8%). Más del 83.6% cultivan la variedad Típica, con diversidad de marcos y densidades de plantación, un 31.2% de las plantaciones poseen una edad mayor a 31 años. El 95% está interesado en recibir cursos de capacitación, a pesar de que el 66.2% ha recibido algún tipo de adiestramiento. Para algunos de ellos, el café es la única fuente de ingreso, cuya fortaleza distintiva es la altitud.

Comprender las preferencias alimentarias es importante para la conservación del borrego cimarrón. El objetivo fue identificar la selección de su dieta en Coahuila, México. La investigación se realizó en la UMA Rancho San Juan, municipio de Monclova, de agosto 2018 a octubre 2019. La disponibilidad de forraje se evaluó con 18 líneas de Canfield. La composición de la dieta se estimó con microhistología en 280 muestras fecales, y la diversidad de la dieta y del forraje con el índice de Shannon. Para analizar la similitud en el consumo de diferentes especies y la influencia estacional, se aplicaron análisis de clústers y componentes principales (ACP). Las arbustivas estuvieron más disponibles (48%). Se identificaron 50 especies y 14 familias en la dieta, y predominaron las arbustivas (49.2%) y los pastos (17.21%). Tiquilia canescens, Gymnosperma glutinosum, Opuntia rufida, Medicago sativa y Erioneuron pulchellum fueron las más consumidas. El borrego consumió especies arbóreas y arbustivas de manera proporcional (1.1 y 1.02, respectivamente), prefirió las herbáceas en primavera (2.24) y otoño (15.28), los pastos en primavera (6.10), y con excepción de verano (0.83), evitó las suculentas. El ACP reveló que los dos primeros componentes explican el 96.05% de la correlación entre las frecuencias de consumo de las especies y sus formas biológicas. El análisis de clústers agrupó cinco categorías de consumo de forraje. Es fundamental conservar las arbustivas, que constituyen la base de la dieta del borrego cimarrón, los pastos, que son sus preferidos, y las suculentas, como elementos amortiguadores.
La Gratuidad de la Educación Superior en México Desde las Tendencias en Materia Jurisdiccional
Authors: Campos Montejo Rodolfo
Published: March 2024

OBJETIVO: Analizar la experiencia en cuanto a la búsqueda de la gratuidad de la educación superior en México, desde la materia jurisdiccional.
MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Se desarrolló bajo el enfoque cualitativo y la hermenéutica, a través del análisis de los criterios emitidos por el Poder Judicial de la Federación en torno a la gratuidad de la educación superior.
RESULTADOS: Se encontraron nueve tesis que se han emitido desde septiembre de 2014 hasta enero de 2017 donde se trata directamente el tema de la gratuidad, no fue sino hasta los criterios de 2017 donde se reconoció plenamente a través de la jurisprudencia este principio del derecho humano a la educación superior.
CONCLUSIONES: El diagnóstico sobre las tendencias del derecho humano a la educación superior en concatenación con el principio de la gratuidad representa una radiografía básica de un reto complejo, estructural y requerirá mucho esfuerzo de parte de todos los actores para materializarse. Se puede observar, que la tendencia del Poder Judicial ha sido reconocer la gratuidad en la educación superior a través del control de la convencionalidad con los tratados que México ha suscrito.

Published: March 2024

Aim: The diagnosis of acute hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection can be made during follow-up in patients with a generally known risk contact, as it is mostly asymptomatic. The earliest indicator of acute HCV infection is increased HCV-RNA. Anti-HCV seroconversion is also the strongest evidence of acute infection. The risk of chronicity is at least 80%. Treatment of acute HCV infection is recommended because of the high rate of chronicity. Spontaneous recovery can be seen after 8-12 weeks in acute viral hepatitis C. Therefore, 8-12 weeks should be waited to start specific treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the data of the patients we follow up with the diagnosis of acute HCV in our clinic, to determine the most appropriate time to start treatment in acute viral hepatitis C and to evaluate the effectiveness of Peg-interferon alfa 2a treatment.

Materials and Methods: The data of patients diagnosed with acute viral hepatitis C in our clinic between 2005 and 2015 were evaluated.

Results: Twelve patients with acute viral hepatitis C were followed in our clinic. Twelve of the cases were male, and the mean age was 38.83 ± 6.75 (range, 25-50) years. Spontaneous clearance was observed in three patients at the third month. Three months after the acute diagnosis of HCV, pegylated-interferon alpha 2a 180 mcg (1x1 / week sc) was started in nine patients without spontaneous improvement and treatment was performed for six months. Treatment response was 100% at 6-month and 2-year follow-ups.

Conclusion: Acute viral hepatitis C is a disease that should not be overlooked.

After diagnosis, 8-12 weeks should be waited for spontaneous viral clearance. Patients who do not develop spontaneous viral clearance after 8-12 weeks can be largely treated with interferon alfa 2a therapy.

Spontaneous recovery was observed in three of our patients after 8-12 weeks of follow-up (HCV-RNA was negative by PCR, AST-ALT values were normal).

An unstable patient with a large sucking chest wound managed with gauze packing for preventing tension and bleeding control before surgery in Korea: a case report
Authors: Lee Chang-Sin , Cho Min-Jeong , Noh Tae-Wook , Choi Nak-Jun , Cho Jun-Min
Published: March 2024

This case report describes the management of a 51-year-old female patient who arrived at the emergency room with a stab wound to the upper right chest. Immediate medical interventions were undertaken, including blood transfusions and endotracheal intubation. To prevent tension and control bleeding, gauze packing was applied directly through the large open wound. Further surgical exploration identified a laceration in the lung, necessitating a right upper lobe resection. Postoperatively, the patient’s vital signs stabilized, and she was subsequently discharged without complications. This case highlights the decision-making process in selecting between an emergency department thoracotomy and an operating room thoracotomy for patients with penetrating chest trauma. It also illustrates the role of gauze packing in managing tension and hemorrhage. In summary, gauze packing can be an effective interim measure for stabilizing patients with traumatic injuries, unstable vital signs, and large open chest wounds, particularly when a chest tube is already in place, to prevent tension and facilitate bleeding control prior to surgical intervention.
Pneumoperitoneum from vaginal cuff dehiscence following blunt trauma in a patient with a history of robotic hysterectomy in Korea: a case report
Authors: Kang Byung Hee , Choi Donghwan
Published: March 2024

Pneumoperitoneum usually presents as a surgical emergency, especially in patients with a history of trauma. However, we recently encountered an atypical case of pneumoperitoneum at a hysterectomy site following blunt trauma, indicating that immediate laparotomy may not always be necessary. In this report, we present the case of a 45-year-old woman who was transferred to our trauma center from a local hospital after being involved in a traffic accident the day before. Although she underwent an emergency laparotomy, no bowel perforation was detected. Instead, a rupture was found at the site of a hysterectomy that had been performed 8 months earlier. After repairing the hysterectomy site, the pneumoperitoneum resolved, and the patient was subsequently discharged without further complications.
Effect of High-Calorie Diet and Moderate-Intensity Physical Exercise on Gastric Histopathological Features of Mice
Authors: Zamzam Ramadhani Rizki , Irwadi Irfiansyah , Rahniayu Alphania
Published: March 2024

Introduction: Habit of consuming excess calories and sedentary lifestyle can cause oxidative stress which is known to be involved in the pathophysiological process of various diseases including diseases of the gastrointestinal mucosa. Increased Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) due to a high-calorie diet can damage lipids, proteins, and DNA oxidation of the mucosa and lead to inflammation, apoptosis, damage of mucosal and its barrier. Moderate-intensity physical exercise is known to have health benefits, improve quality of life, reduce the risk of death, and prevent the occurrence of diseases related to oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of high-calorie diet and moderate-intensity physical exercise on gastric histopathological features of mice.Methods: This research was a true experimental study with posttest only control group design. Female Balb/C strain were randomly assigned into three groups, the control group/K1 (n=12), high-calorie diet group/K2 (n=12), and high-calorie diet and moderate-intensity physical exercise group/K3 (n=9). High-calorie diet in the form of dextrose (D40) was given ad libitum using sonde in a dose of 3-5% of calories or 0.0325 mL/gBW. The moderate-intensity physical exercise was carried out by swimming three times a week for 15 minutes using 6% gBW loading. After 4 weeks of treatment, the mice were sacrificed and their stomach were sampled and prepared for microscopic analysis.Results: The histopathological examination of the gastric mucosa showed the average number of inflammatory cells was 11.60 for K1, 11.25 for K2, and 14.5222 for K3. The Shapiro-Wilk test revealed that the data on inflammatory cells infiltrations were not normally distributed (p<0.05), so a non-parametric difference test was conducted using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Based on the Kruskal-Wallis test results, it was obtained that p>0.05, which means no significant difference was found between the three study groups.Conclusion: There was no effect of a high-calorie diet and moderate-intensity physical exercise on the gastric histopathological features of mice (Mus musculus) in this study

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Efektivitas Pelayanan Kesehatan Lanjut Usia di Puskesmas Banjarmasin Indah pada Masa Pandemi COVID-19 dengan studi kasus Posyandu Lansia Melati dan hambatan-hambatan yang terjadi pada pelaksanaannya.Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif untuk dapat mendeskripsikan dan menggambarkan efektivitas dari Pelayanan Kesehatan Lanjut Usia melalui Posyandu Lansia Melati pada Masa Pandemi COVID-19 melalui fakta saat pelaksanaan di lapangan yang akurat. Sumber data yang digunakan terdiri dari data primer yaitu observasi dan wawancara lalu data sekunder berupa buku, jurnal, peraturan dan data lokasi penelitian. Teknik analisa data yang digunakan dari Miles dan Huberman (Sugiyono, 2018) yaitu reduksi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan.Hasil penelitian terkait Pelayanan Kesehatan Lanjut Usia melalui Posyandu Lansia Melati pada Masa Pandemi COVID-19 diukur menggunakan teori Duncan dalam Steers (1985) yang terdiri dari tiga indikator yaitu pencapaian tujuan, integrasi dan adaptasi mendapatkan hasil dan pembahasan bahwa kegiatan Posyandu Lansia Melati cukup efektif namun dalam praktiknya belum optimal. Hal tersebut dapat dilihat bahwa dari sistem 5 meja, hampir seluruh kegiatan sudah efektif sesuai indikator efektivitas menurut Duncan kecuali pelayanan di meja tiga yakni pemeriksaan laboratorium sederhana yang dari segi pencapaian tujuan dan integrasinya masih kurang efektif karena keterbatasannya alat/stick pemeriksaan menyebabkan pelaksanaannya tidak menentu dan sasaran targetnya tidak merata. Selain pemeriksaan laboratorium sederhana, pemeriksaan status mental lansia juga belum dilaksanakan secara optimal namun untuk pelayanan di meja dua sendiri sudah cukup efektif. Faktor-faktor yang menghambat pelayanan kesehatan lanjut usia melalui Posyandu Lansia Melati pada masa pandemi COVID-19 ini terbagi dua yaitu hambatan internal yang terdiri dari: 1) Kurangnya SDM yang menguasai dan 2) Sarana dan prasarana yang terbatas, untuk hambatan eksternal terdiri dari: 1) Kunjungan lansia yang tidak tetap dan 2) Kurangnya koordinasi antar instansi. Lalu saran untuk dapat meningkatkan efektivitas pelayanan kesehatan lanjut usia melalui Posyandu Lansia Melati pada masa pandemi COVID-19 ini adalah meningkatkan komunikasi antar kader; mengadakan iuran agar posyandu lansia memiliki dana mandiri; memberikan sosialisasi bagi warga sekitar terkait posyandu lansia; dan meningkatkan koordinasi antar instansi yang menaungi posyandu lansia.Kata Kunci: Efektivitas, Lansia, Posyandu Lansia
Implementation of geometric morphometry in the study of shapes of Bronze Age sickles from the Volga-Ural region
Authors: Bersenev E.V. , Bakhshiev I.I.
Published: March 2024

This article aims at evaluating the potential of geometric morphometry by means of an example of analysis of shapes of the Bronze Age sickles from the Volga-Ural region, as compared with the traditional morphometric approach. For the study, cast bronze sickles with hooks, categorized by V.A. Dergachev and V.S. Bochkarev into the Ibrakaevo, Derbeden, Perelyub and Yavlenka types using the traditional morphometric approach, have been selected. The analysis was applied to only full drawings of the items, including reconstructed ones, while fragmented items were not considered. The sample constitutes 167 objects: 86 Ibrakaevo, 49 Derbeden, 24 Perelyub, and 8 of the Yavlenka type. Application of geometric morphometry tools shows that, within the sample, three main forms can be easily identified, with the exception of the sickles earlier attributed to the Yavlenka type, probably due to their small number. Prepara-tion of primary files for recording landmark coordinates and processing of files with recorded coordinates were carried out in the tpsUtil program. The analysis of characteristics of changes of the forms was carried out using the principal component method in the MorphoJ program. Summarizing the obtained results, we can say that the principal components method has been able to identify three main variations of the objects. Most clear are the differences between the Ibrakaevo and Derbeden types, which show virtually no overlap. An intermediate position between them is taken by the Perelyub type, which is also distinctively grouped in the graph being close to the Ibrakaev group. In terms of identifying individual types, the results of the study are rather consistent with the data obtained by the tradi-tional morphometry. At the same time, it is possible to trace the vectors of shape variability for all types of tools based on three main components. Overall, it can be concluded that the method of geometric morphometry demonstrates its efficiency for the analysis of shapes of metal sickles and in future it could be applied to wider sample groups.
Carbon tax: A bibliometric analysis for future research in Indonesia
Authors: Sulistiyanti Umi , Falikhatun Falikhatun
Published: March 2024

This study aims to conduct a literature review of previous studies on carbon tax and explore the essential features for future research directions in carbon tax. This research is analyzed by a bibliometric method using VOS Viewer and R Studio. The Scopus database from 2013 to 2023 was explored to scrutinize the co-occurrence and co-authorship of 769 research articles. The results show that the most significant increase in the research publications on carbon tax occurred in 2022. This increase is due to the rise in the number of publications on carbon tax in developed countries, namely China, the United States, and the United Kingdom, as well as important events such as the Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study provides potential directions for future carbon tax research in developing countries, especially Indonesia, which will implement a carbon tax in 2025. This study has a limitation in that it only focuses on English-language articles published in the Scopus database due to their quality and support from the previous literature reviews.

The smart effort to build up an innovative organizational culture in a skincare company
Authors: Handoko Yunus , Anjaningrum Widiya Dewi
Published: March 2024

Purpose – The research objective was to examine the predominant errand of work engagement (WE) and the physical work environment (PWE) in the development of innovative organizational culture (IOC) by contemplating the mediating factors of innovative work behaviour (IWB) and employee performance (EP).Design/methodology/approach – The research was conducted through a questionnaire survey of all employees of PT. Alzena Skincare Indonesia, 175 people who produced quantitative primary data. Through the PLS-SEM high-level analysis, the validity and reliability of the questionnaire were checked, and each research hypothesis was evaluated in detail.Findings – The research results showed that an ‘IOC’ in a skincare company can be developed, and ‘WE’ is the principal aspect. However, it was still essential for the company to heed the ‘PWE’. The partial mediating role of ‘IWB’ and ‘EP’ accelerated the formation of an ‘IOC’. Meanwhile, serial mediation of ‘IWB’ and ‘EP’ only supported ‘WE’ in building ‘IOC’, not the ‘PWE’.Research limitations/implications – This research was still limited to PT. Alzena Skincare Indonesia employees, so the results cannot be generalized to other types of businesses. Thus, further research is compulsory to test the research model on other objects and look for other factors that can encourage creation of an innovative organizational culture.Practical implications – The practical implication of this research was that skincare company managers need to build ‘IOC’ by strengthening ‘WE’ and improving the ‘PWE’ that supports it. These two factors created ‘IWB’ and improved ‘EP’, ultimately forming an ‘IOC’.Originality/value – It still needed to uncover research that examined the effect of ‘WE’ and the ‘PWE’ on ‘IOC’, especially if it was serially mediated by ‘IWB’ and ‘EP’. So, the complex model was the main novelty of this study.

Published: March 2024

In the modern era, the erosion of values and character among students due to technological advancements requires an ideal educational concept that maximizes character education. This study explores an educational concept that synergizes mosques, Islamic boarding schools, and universities in one unit-triple helix. Employing a library approach, the data sources in this study are printed and digital texts, as well as books and manuscripts. The findings of this study reveal that the concept of education which combines the natures of mosques, Islamic boarding schools, and universities (triple helix) as foundational pillars plays a pivotal role in shaping an individual's character through exemplary practices. Within the concept of the mosque, the education is to maximize various activities related to the mosque. In the Pesantren (Islamic boarding school) concept, education focuses on the application of the Pesantren system within the university education curriculum. Meanwhile, the concept of university refers to the Islamization of science, as seen in the curriculum of Universitas Darussalam Gontor, Indonesia.
Female Teens and Young Adults with Mental Illness Who Are Autistic: How Common Is It and Why Is It Important?
Authors: McCrossin Robert
Published: March 2024

New information suggests female autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) is much more common than previously thought, with a likely prevalence of 6% and with 80% undiagnosed at the age of 18. ASD then becomes a common comorbidity of female mental illness with nearly one in five women who develop a mental illness being autistic. ASD has heretofore been regarded as a pediatric condition and though now thought to be life long it is still not well recognized by adult health services. Most mental illness first presents in the teens and early twenties. Comorbid ASD is more difficult to diagnose due to diagnostic overshadowing, and ASD comorbidity maks the mental illness more severe and mor difficult to treat. Recognized ASD is readily treatable with an approach sympathetic to neurodiversity. Improving the pathway from adolescence to adulthood by increasing knowledge of autism in adult health services would dramatically improve female mental health at surprisingly little extra cost. It is low hanging fruit in a very fraught area of healthcare. This paper will examine the extent of the problem. It will explore solutions and quantify the gains of appropriate therapy.
Amortizing Loans Under Arbitrary Discount Functions
Authors: Mari Carlo
Published: March 2024

A general methodology for loan amortization under arbitrary discount functions is discussed. It is shown that it is always possible to uniquely define a scheme for constructing the loan amortization schedule with an arbitrary assigned discount function. It is also shown that even if the loan amortization is carried out from the sequence of principal payments and the sequence of accrued interest, the underlying discount function can be uniquely determined at the maturities corresponding to the installment payment dates. As a special case of the proposed approach, we derive the amortization method according to the law of simple interest.

Published: March 2024

Among natural disasters, earthquakes have a considerable impact and are among the ten deadliest, with an extreme impact on the healthcare sector. This study aimed to analyze best practices in nursing care for earthquake victims. An in-depth analysis was carried out by using a scoping review, a method used in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR recommendations to identify best nursing practice in these circumstances based on searches of eight databases: MEDLINE via PubMed; Cochrane Library; Embase; VHL; PDQ-Evidence; Scopus; ProQuest; Google Scholar. Twenty-one studies were selected. The nursing practices identified were grouped into two distinct dimensions, each subdivided into four subcategories: (i) care practices: a) immediate care, b) intermediate care, psychosocial care and d) ethical care; (ii) care management and coordination practices, which cover (a) care coordination, (b) victim care network organization, (c) teamwork and (d) training. By analyzing these nursing practices during care and relief operations for earthquake victims, this study identified the various actions carried out, the nursing skills to be developed and the reinforcement of these advanced practices through the systematization of nurses’ skills, in order to promote victims’ rehabilitation, minimize their suffering and improving their quality of life during and after an earthquake.

Published: March 2024

Objective: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the accuracy of resin-based fixed dental restorations, namely veneers, single crowns, and four-unit fixed partial dental prosthesis (FPDs) using two different 3D printers and polymer-based materials. Materials and Methods: A standard maxillary polyurethane jaw model containing prepared teeth was scanned using an intraoral scanner. The generated STL data were used to design the restorations virtually using CAD software. Two 3D printers were utilized for the provisional digital light processing and stereolithography for the castable resin patterns. Each printer produced 10 specimens of each type of restoration, for a total of 80 restorations. The 3d-printed restorations were then 3D scanned using the same intraoral scanner and evaluated for external and internal dimensional accuracy in terms of trueness and precision. A one-way ANOVA and Two-sample T-Test were implemented to compute the precision (variability between groups) and trueness (with the designed CAD model). A level of statistical significance of p-Value
Six-fold discrete symmetry of the QED Lagrangian
Authors: Nofech Avraham
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Using the Pauli algebra version of the Dirac equation six symmetric but
non-equivalent copies of the QED Lagrangian are constructed. The group
of symmetries is the group of outer automorphisms of the finite quaternion
group, isomorphic to the group of permutations on three letters. Solutions
to corresponding Dirac equations form six sectors of fermion fields. The
intersections between different sectors can only contain massless fields,
implying that the sectors are distinct. If the symmetry could be extended
to the full Standard Model Lagrangian it would predict the ratio of dark
matter to ordinary matter of 5 : 1 which is close to the ratio of 5.2 : 1
according to current observations.
Increasing the number of contributors identified by SNP panels
Authors: Ricke Darrell
Published: March 2024

Analysis of complex DNA mixtures is limited by the selected genetic markers characterized and assay technology. Small panels of short tandem repeats (STRs) are the current standards in most countries. Extension of STRs with hundreds of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is now commercially available. The current set of extension SNPs focus on phenotypic and biogeographic ancestry informative SNPs. Larger panels with thousands of SNPs have been developed that can identify up to 10 contributors to forensic DNA samples. Herein, multiple sets of SNPs were selected with the focus of increasing the upper limit of detectable contributors. Larger SNP panel sets with lower minor allele frequency (MAF) alleles can detect large numbers of contributors to in silico mixtures of randomly selected profiles from the 1,000 Genomes project. These results provide a path to enable characterization of complex DNA mixtures that are currently impossible to analyse.
Soil Mercury Pollution of the Hainan Island, China: Pattern, Influencing factors and Health Risk
Authors: Sun Yan , Yang Canchao
Published: March 2024

Due to the growth of tourism, mining and manufacturing, economy of the Hainan Island, southern China has swiftly expanded, but also poses a risk of soil pollution by mercury (Hg) due to the traffic and mineral processing. In order to investigate the characteristics of soil Hg pollution in the Hainan Island and assess the health risk, a total of 239 samples were gathered from five representative regions across the island. A vehicle-mounted potable mercury analyzer was used to measure the atmospheric Hg and soil Hg concentrations in the collected samples. The results indicate that the soil Hg concentration of the five sub-study areas exhibits notable fluctuations, which was found to be influenced by various factors, including wind direction, mining activities, and economic development conditions. The degree of Hg pollution was assessed using both the Single Pollution Index Method and the Geoaccumulation Index Method. The results showed that although nearly half of the sampling points were contaminated, the current soil Hg level does not pose a non-carcinogenic risk to human health.
