Authors: Romero-Andrade Rosendo , Trejo-Soto Manuel Edwiges , Arellano-Baeza Alonso Alejandro , Cabanillas-Zavala Juan Luis
Published: July 2022

La distribución de velocidades entre las placas del Pacífico y de Norteamé-rica, así como su posible relación con los sismos ocurridos en la zona del Golfo de California en México ha sido estudiada mediante mediciones continuas GPS en el periodo 2010-2016. Los datos GPS fueron procesados con Gamit/Globk para estimar la posición y velocidad de las estaciones continuas. El análisis posterior ha mostrado que el movimiento relativo promedio entre las placas de Pacífico y de Norteamérica es consistente con estudios anteriores, estimando en 40 mm/año en la dirección norte y 30 mm/año en la dirección oeste, con un valor absoluto de 50 mm/año. Se presenta una posible relación entre los cambios repentinos en la velocidad asociados con los eventos cosísmicos y una tendencia que indica que la probabilidad de que se presente un sismo de magnitud Mw ≥ 5.0 crece con el aumento de la velocidad relativa entre las placas.
A Look at Algorithm BEPtoPNST
Authors: García Ojeda Juan Carlos
Published: July 2022

This work analyzes the computational complexity of algorithm BEPtoPNST which transforms a building-evacuation problem (BEP) into a time-ex-panded, process-network synthesis (PNST) problem. The solution of the latter is achieved by resorting to the P-graph method which exploits the combinatorial nature of a BEP. Unlike other approaches, the P-graph method provides not only the optimal solution (best evacuation route as a function of egress time), but also the best n sub-optimal solutions. For the complexity analysis, a generic processor, and a Random-access machine (RAM) model were deployed as well as a mathematical model to calculate the number and cost of the operations performed. It was observed that algorithm BEPtoPNST exhibits an asymptotic complexity of order O ( T | A | (| N | –k)). When solving a BEP, however, the total complexity grows exponentially with order O (T | A | (| N | –k)) + O (2h)) in the worst case; where h represents the total number of operating units specified in the corresponding PNST problem. Nevertheless, the computational comple-xity can be reduced significantly when the P-graph method is deployed.

Authors: Gordillo Delgado Fernando , Hernández Zarta Hector Hernán
Published: July 2022

Los nanocompuestos son estructuras multifásicas con por lo menos una dimensión de una de las fases de tamaño de orden nanométrico. Los materiales de base polimérica mezclados con bajas proporciones de nanopartículas de dióxido de titanio (NPs-TiO2) presentan una alternativa versátil en diferentes aplicaciones industriales, considerando la optimización de propiedades mecánicas y térmicas con respecto a polímeros puros y materiales convencionales. En este trabajo se reporta la síntesis y la medición de características térmicas de un nanocompuesto conformado por NPs-TiO2, fase Anatasa de tamaño de partícula de 5 nm, en una matriz de poliuretano, elaborada con aceite de higuerilla. La matriz polimérica se obtuvo a través de la reacción entre la autocondensación del aceite de higuerilla y diisocianato de difenilmetano (MDI), mientras que en la síntesis de las NPs-TiO2 se usó la técnica sol-gel, utilizando como precursor titanio (IV)-bis(acetilacetonato) diisopropóxido. El calor específico (Cp) de las muestras fue medido por medio del método de relajación térmica y con la técnica fotoacústica se determinó la difusividad térmica (α). Con la adición de las NPs el Cp del nanocompuesto aumentó en 12.98 %, mientras que la α disminuyó en 98,63 %, en comparación con los correspondientes valores obtenidos para la matriz de poliuretano. Con una concentración del 3 % en peso de NPs-TiO2 en la matriz se encontraron parámetros térmicos por debajo de los valores promedio de los plásticos convencionales.

Exact mathematical Formula that connect 6 dimensionless physical constants
Authors: Pellis Stergios
Published: July 2022

In this paper we will present a new exact formula for the
fine-structure constant α in terms of the golden angle,the relativity
factor and the fifth power of the golden mean. A new interpretation and
a very accurate value of the fine-structure constant has been discovered
in terms of the golden radio. We propose the exact equivalent
mathematical expression for the proton to electron mass ratio using
Fibonacci and Lucas numbers and two other exact mathematical expressions
for the proton to electron mass ratio. We present the exact mathematical
expressions that connect the proton to electron mass ratio and the
fine-structure constant. Also we will find a new formula for the Planck
length and a new formula for the Avogadro number. Eleven exact
mathematical formulas that connect six dimensionless physical constants.
The six dimensionless physical constants are the proton to electron mass
ratio μ,the fine-structure constant α,the ratio Ν1 of electric force to
gravitational force between electron and proton,the Avogadro number
NA,the gravitational coupling constant αG for the electron and the
gravitational coupling constant αG(p) of the proton. Finally we will
find a new formula for the gravitational constant G.
BEHAVIOR OF THE VIRUSES RESPONSIBLE FOR ACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS BEFORE (2016 TO 2019) AND AFTER (2020 TO 2021) THE CIRCULATION OF THE SARS-COV-2 VIRUS STARTED IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS SERVED AT A REFERENCE CENTER IN THE CITY OF BARRANQUILLA, COLOMBIA

Published: July 2022

Objective: To evaluate the behavior of the viruses responsible
for acute respiratory infections before (2016-2019) and after
(2020-2021) the start of the circulation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in
pediatric patients treated at a reference center from Barranquilla,
Colombia. Materials and methods: An observational descriptive
study was carried out, data were obtained reviewing the influenza-like
illness and severe acute respiratory infection database in the pediatric
population of the sentinel surveillance reference center in the district
of Barranquilla during the years 2016 - 2021, applying inclusion and
exclusion criteria. Results: During 2016-2019, the average age
of individuals was 1.3 (±1.7) years, during 2021 it was 2.3 (±3.5)
years. The distribution by sex was similar, predominantly male. August
and February were the months with the highest record of symptoms for
2016-2019 and 2021, respectively, the most frequent being cough, fever,
shortness of breath, and diarrhea. By 2021 there was higher use of
antibiotics and antivirals reported than in 2016-2019. Most patients
tested negative for viral detection. When comparing the percentage of
viruses detected by age group and years of detection, positivity was
lower in 2021 by every age group, and respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
was the most frequently detected. Conclusions: There was less
virus positivity in viral detection tests in the pediatric population
during 2021. RSV persists as the main etiology affecting this
population, especially infants. The use of antibiotic therapy in viral
infections continues to be a problematic practice in their management.
Sentinel surveillance can be strengthened throughout the country.

Follow up of women after Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injuries (OASI)- what is the role of anorectal studies? An observational study.
Authors: Badri Hawra , Fowler Gillian , Lane Steven
Published: July 2022

Objective To evaluate the benefit of performing anorectal studies on all
women following primary Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injury (OASI) repair
over performing them on symptomatic women only. Design Retrospective
observational study. Setting Tertiary maternity unit in the U.K.
Population or sample All women followed up in the perineal clinic over
13 years were included. Methods Women who attended perineal clinic
between 2007 and 2020 underwent symptom assessment and anorectal studies
at 6 weeks and 6 months post-partum. Anorectal studies including endo
anal ultrasound (EAUS) and anal manometry (AM) were performed. The
anorectal studies of symptomatic women who were the case group, were
compared with asymptomatic women who were the control group. Main
outcome Results 1,348 women were seen in the perineal clinic over 13
years. 454 (33.7%) women were symptomatic. 894 (66.3%) women were
asymptomatic. 313 (35%) asymptomatic women had two abnormal anorectal
studies, 274 (31%) had abnormal AM alone and 86 (9.6%) had abnormal
EAUS alone. 221 (24.7%) asymptomatic women had normal anorectal
studies. Conclusion Almost 70% of women were asymptomatic 6 months
following primary OASI repair. Most had at least one abnormal anorectal
study result. Selectively performing anorectal tests on symptomatic
women would not identify asymptomatic women at risk of future faecal
incontinence (FI) following further vaginal birth. Without anorectal
study results, women would not receive accurate counselling about the
risks of vaginal birth. Anorectal studies should be offered to all women
following OASI where resources allow.

Authors: Jiang Mei , Gao Ying , Wang Hanfei , Guo Jing , Li Wenyuan , Qin Tianyu , Shi Minglu , HUANG LING
Published: July 2022

Backgrounds: A large number of studies have investigated the effect of
early menopause on osteoporosis outcomes and the relationship between
the content of bone mineral density (BMD) and primary ovarian
insufficiency (POI). Methods: To provide a systematic literature review
and meta-analysis on BMD content among women with POI. Search strategy:
We performed a systematic literature search in the databases PubMed,
Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases from inception
through 1 April 2022 . Selection criteria: Studies including women with
POI and controls were eligible. Data collection and analysis: Two
reviewers independently evaluated study eligibility. We used
DerSimonian-Laird random effects model for meta-analysis. Main results:
A total of 10 studies featuring 578 women with POI and 480 controls were
selected. The meta-analysis showed that the BMD content of femur
neck(SMD:-0.76; 95% CI: -1.20 to -0.31; P=0.0008), the BMD content of
nondominating forearm (SMD:-0.67; 95% CI: -1.15 to -0.18; P=0.007) were
significantly decreased in women with POI. There was no significant
change in the BMD content of lumbar spine (SMD: -0.32; 95% CI: -0.74 to
0.10; P=0.14), the total hip (SMD: -0.08; 95% CI: -0.79 to 0.63;
P=0.82), as well as the hip neck (SMD: -0.15; 95% CI: -0.85 to 0.56;
P=0.68). Conclusions: Scientific evidence suggests that the BMD content
altered in patients with primary ovarian insufficiency compared with
healthy controls. Therefore, we recommend that early medical
intervention (e.g., hormone replacement therapy) to minimize the risk of
fracture morbidity and mortality associated with osteopenia in patients
with POI.
A Combined model based on data decomposition and multi-model weighted optimization for precipitable water vapor forecasting
Authors: Zhang Wenyu , Kou Menggang , Ren Jing , Zhang Xinyu
Published: July 2022

Water shortage is a major problem facing the world. Artificial
precipitation enhancement is an effective way to improve precipitation
conversion rate, but the selection of artificial precipitation
enhancement operation timing is the main difficulty, and the
precipitable water vapor(PWV) is a major index. The variation of PWV is
nonlinear and unstable due to complex factors, especially in the Qilian
mountains in the northeastern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, so it
is difficult to predict it accurately. Therefore, based on the analysis
of the observed data of microwave radiometer in Qilian Mountains, a new
combined model is constructed which considers both data decomposition
and prediction of several single models in this research. In the data
preprocessing stage, the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition
with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) technique is used to decompose and
de-noise the PWV sequence. In the prediction stage, four neural network
with unique characteristics, back propagation neural network (BPNN),
long short term memroy (LSTM), bidirectional gated recurrent unit
(BiGRU) and temporal convolutional network (TCN), are selected to
predict the decomposed data respectively. A variant of gray Wolf
optimization algorithm (IGWO) is used to determine the optimal weight of
the model, and finally the comprehensive predicted value is obtained by
weighting calculation. Through the analysis of experimental results, in
the longest 15-step prediction, compared with CEEMDAN-BP, CEEMDAN-LSTM,
CEEMDAN-BiGRU, CEEMDAN-TCN, the prediction accuracy can be improved by
54.17%, 35.05%, 22.38%, 23.86%, respectively. Other step size
prediction also achieves the highest prediction accuracy.

Applying digital forensics helps in recovering and investigating material on digital media and networks is one of these actions. Cyber Forensic Investigation includes the Capture and Analysis of digital data either to prove or disprove whether the internet-related theft has been committed or not. Earlier, Computers were used only to store large volumes of data and perform many operations on them, but nowadays, it has expanded and occupied a prior role in Crime Investigation. To solve these cyber-related problems, the selection and usage of Forensic tools are essential. The developers have created many cyber forensic tools for better research and quick investigation. Cop departments and investigation agencies select the tools based on various factors, including budget and available experts on the team. This paper describes the different types of existing computer forensic tools and their usage. The article gives detailed information on all related works by other scholars in the area of this paper.

Those who commit such crimes use advanced and sophisticated tools, equipment and techniques to perpetuate such crimes. In order to effectively and efficiently investigate, examine and gather evidence from such complex crimes, digital examiners have to employ various tools and techniques to analyze, extract and recover data as evidence to assist in prosecution of the perpetrators of the crime. This paper analyzes X-Ways Forensics platform which is an application software for forensic examiners as a forensic tool for data extraction, analysis and recovery. Dr. Larry Leibrock, Founder and CTO of eForensics revealed his admiration for X-Ways Forensics application when he said “As a professional forensics examiner, I have used X-Ways Forensics as a forensics instrument in recovering and analyzing digital information. I have tested and validated the professional version and it has proved to be accurate and trustworthy in its reporting. I have the highest level of confidence in X-Ways Forensics efficacy in digital forensics cases. I am confident that the tool and my use of this instrument would stand legal review and opposing challenge.” Keywords: X_ways, Cybersecurity, Forensics, Detection, Cyber space, Examiners BOOK Chapter ǀ Research Nexus in IT, Law, Cyber Security & Forensics.

Published: July 2022

Introduction. Cyanide is one of the most rapidly acting poisons and therefore
it can be important in cases of suicide, homicide or accidental death.
Nevertheless, cyanide intoxications are not common in forensic practice.
Case Report. We present a case of a Caucasian male, 63 years of age, whose
body was found lying in bed in his cottage by the river. A gun was found on
the bedside table. Three glass bottles were found under the bed containing a
liquid and crystalline substance. On autopsy, there were pathological
changes in the heart, but the circumstances of the case were not in line
with these findings. Conclusion. Sometimes, autopsy and routine
toxicological analysis cannot solve the case, so it is necessary to pay
special attention to unusual substances found at the scene. In such cases,
all samples taken during the autopsy should be stored appropriately, in case
an additional, a specific toxicological analysis is required. In this
particular case, after obtaining the results of specific toxicological
analysis, it was determined that it was a suicide by cyanide poisoning.

Vitamin B12 is one of the most important B vitamins. This vitamin has an
important role in cellular metabolism and is also associated with folate and
vitamin B6 metabolism. Vitamin B12 deficiency occurs as a result of some
diseases, the use of certain medications, or inadequate nutrition. It
primarily affects the elderly and women, but is also common among the
pediatric population. The B12 deficiency mostly affects the functions of the
nervous and hematopoietic systems but it can also affect the skin, heart,
bones, and eyes. The treatment of vitamin B12 deficiency includes oral or
intramuscular vitamin B12 supplementation according to different treatment
regimens.
Diplomaten som helt: Fridtjof Nansen
Authors: Neumann Iver
Published: July 2022

Norsk diplomati har mange hverdagshelter, men få som er helter i den forstand at de har skapt noe unikt. Artikkelen diskuterer kandidat nummer en til rollen, Fridtjof Nansen. Nansens diplomatiske virksomhet var mangslungen og inkluderte vitenskapsdiplomati, sportsdiplomati, bakkanaler mellom tredjeparter og oppdrag for den norske stat og internasjonale organisasjoner. Ikke mindre enn fire av hans bidrag er unike. Det første er hans utvidelse av Norges utenrikspolitiske spillerom ved å få en engelsk-gift konge på Norges trone i 1905. Det andre er hans ferdigforhandling av stormaktenes sikkerhetsgaranti til Norge i 1907, som norsk minister til London. Den tredje er ferdigforhandlingen av forsyningsavtalen med amerikanerne i 1918. Det fjerde er hans innsats for hundretusener av flyktninger på 1920-tallet, da særlig det strukturelle grepet med å gjøre dem til juridiske subjekter ved å utstyre dem med såkalt Nansen-pass. For dette arbeidet fikk Nansen også Nobels fredspris for nøyaktig 100 år siden. Nansens svakhet som diplomat var den massive selvsentrertheten og egenrådigheten som gjorde ham til en problematisk representant for et kollektiv som den norske stat. Svakheten ble mer enn veiet opp av Nansens virtuose håndtering av diplomatiets to andre kjerneoppgaver, informasjonssanking og forhandling, som alle hans fire unike innsatser bygger på.
Abstract in EnglishThe Diplomat as Hero: Fridtjof NansenNorwegian diplomacy has seen many everyday heroes, but few who have done something unique. The article discusses the main candidate for the role, Fridtjof Nansen. Nansen carried out a number of different diplomatic functions at the behest of the Norwegian state and International Organisations, no less than four of which were unique. He increased Norway’s room for manoeuvre by contributing to placing a Danish king with a British-born wife on the throne upon the country’s independence in 1905. He then successfully negotiated a Great Power-guaranteed Integrity Treaty for the new state. Nansen also secured a treaty on vital goods delivery with the United States for Norway in 1918. Most famously, in the1920s, he helped hundreds of thousands of refugees with disaster relief, but also by manipulating structural preconditions so that they received identity papers and could cross borders, for which he received the 1922 Nobel Peace prize. Nansen’s weakness as a diplomat was his egocentrism, complete with a programmatic aversion against seeing his specific mission as part of a united foreign policy orchestrated elsewhere. He more than made up for this by his expert handling of diplomacy’s other two basic functions, information gathering and negotiation, which underlay all his four unique successes.

Background: As the need for a nationwide organ-transplant registry emerged, a prospective registry, the Korean Organ Transplantation Registry (KOTRY), was initiated in 2014. Here, we present baseline characteristics and outcomes of the kidney-transplant cohort for 2014 through 2019. Methods: The KOTRY consists of five organ-transplant cohorts (kidney, liver, lung, heart, and pancreas). Data and samples were prospectively collected from transplant recipients and donors at baseline and follow-up visits; and epidemiological trends, allograft outcomes, and patient outcomes, such as posttransplant complications, comorbidities, and mortality, were analyzed. Results: From 2014 to 2019, there were a total of 6,129 registered kidney transplants (64.8% with living donors and 35.2% with deceased donors) with a mean recipient age of 49.4 ± 11.5 years, and 59.7% were male. ABO-incompatible transplants totaled 17.4% of all transplants, and 15.0% of transplants were preemptive. The overall 1- and 5-year patient survival rates were 98.4% and 95.8%, respectively, and the 1- and 5-year graft survival rates were 97.1% and 90.5%, respectively. During a mean follow-up of 3.8 years, biopsy- proven acute rejection episodes occurred in 17.0% of cases. The mean age of donors was 47.3 ± 12.9 years, and 52.6% were male. Among living donors, the largest category of donors was spouses, while, among deceased donors, 31.2% were expanded-criteria donors. The mean serum creatinine concentrations of living donors were 0.78 ± 0.62 mg/dL and 1.09 ± 0.24 mg/dL at baseline and 1 year after kidney transplantation, respectively. Conclusion: The KOTRY, a systematic Korean transplant cohort, can serve as a valuable epidemiological database of Korean kidney transplants.

Published: July 2022

El triunfo en la gubernatura de la coalición Juntos Haremos Historia en Tlaxcala, encabezada por los partidos Morena, Partido del Trabajo (PT), Verde Ecologista de México (PVEM), Nueva Alianza Tlaxcala (Panalt) y Partido Encuentro Social Tlaxcala (PEST), introdujo nuevamente en la entidad una alternancia política, después de que el Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) resultara ganador en las elecciones de 2010 y 2016. Para este trabajo se indaga en la espacialidad del voto de los comicios a gobernador, la cual presenta dependencia espacial, registrada desde los comicios de 1998. Metodológicamente, se realiza un análisis exploratorio de datos electorales por municipio. También se presenta de manera muy somera el contexto local de la elección, dado que Lorena Cuéllar Cisneros, segunda mujer en ocupar la principal figura a nivel local, representa la última generación de la élite política local formada en las filas del PRI.

Authors:   , García Sarmina Brian
Published: July 2022

En el siguiente trabajo se aborda el estudio comparativo de dos métodos de optimización dentro del Quantum Approximation Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), estos métodos de optimización son la Búsqueda Exhaustiva y la heurística de Búsqueda Local Iterada o Iterativa. Ambos métodos son probados en varios problemas, estos problemas se separan en dos categorías, la primera categoría son los problemas de Ising Spin Model (ISM) y la segunda categoría son los problemas de Max-Cut. Dentro de cada categoría se tienen tres problemas distintos, cada uno difiere en el tipo de configuración que tiene, estas configuraciones son de tipo: lineal, cíclico y completo. Además, la comparativa también se extiende a experimentaciones utilizando computadoras clásicas (simulaciones locales) y computadoras cuánticas (simulaciones reales), estas experimentaciones locales y reales permiten analizar la aplicabilidad de estos métodos de optimización dado el estado actual del hardware cuántico.
