Nieantropocentryczna pedagogiczność lasu
Authors: Chutorański Maksymilian
Published: February 2023

W ramach tekstu, w odwołaniu do myśli posthumanistycznej i nowego materializmu (Braidotti, Barad, Latour), podkreślających relacyjny charakter rzeczywistości, sprawczość nie-ludzi oraz ograniczenia humanizmu, podjęto próbę postawienia pytania o nieantropocentryczną pedagogiczność lasu. Chodzi więc o sposób, w jaki las może być rozumiany przez teorię i badania edukacyjne, w których nie zakłada się rozumienia edukacji jako działalności specyficznie ludzkiej, a nie-ludzi nie rozumie jako kontekstów, narzędzi czy przeszkód tej działalności, ale jako aktorów, których cechuje pedagogiczne sprawstwo. W tym celu w pierwszej kolejności postawiono pytanie o antropocentryczną pedagogiczność lasu, a także wskazano na pewne ograniczenia takiego rozumienia. W dalszym ciągu wskazano na nieantropocentryczne rozumienie lasu i wyzwania dla pedagogiki, jakie się z tym wiążą.

Authors: Tuszyńska Ligia , Żeber-Dzikowska Ilona
Published: February 2023

Edukacja jest podstawowym prawem człowieka, powszechnie uznawanym za środek postępu i główny sposób kształtowania świadomości oraz sposób rozumienia koncepcji zrównoważonego rozwoju (ZR). Zrównoważony rozwój, jako powszechnie uznawany paradygmat wskazujący potrzebę ochrony środowiska przyrodniczego i zachowania go dla przyszłych pokoleń, wprowadzany jest do programów kształcenia w edukacji szkolnej i akademickiej. W niniejszym opracowaniu zastosowano innowacyjną metodę oznaczania śladu ekologicznego Ecological Footprint (EF) za pomocą kalkulatora jako narzędzia dydaktycznego. Badaniami objęto studentów pedagogiki, wykorzystując ogólnodostępny test kalkulatora EF ze strony: www.footprintnetwork.org/. Zastosowanie testu wskazało, że spełnia on funkcje przypisywane środkom dydaktycznym, ponadto jest nowoczesny i ogólnodostępny. Otrzymane wartości EF wśród badanych studentów różniły się od średnich wartości EF obliczonych dla Polski, UE i Świata. Znajomość własnego EF i porównanie go ze średnią dla grupy, kraju i świata pozwala podjąć odpowiednie kroki, aby zmienić swoje zachowania. Wprowadzenie kalkulatora jako narzędzia edukacyjnego przyczyniło się do osobistego zainteresowania badanych przestrzeganiem zasad zrównoważonego rozwoju, co w dalszym czasie może prowadzić do proekologicznych zachowań, a tym samym przyczynić się do powstrzymania zmian klimatycznych. Kalkulator EF jako środek dydaktyczny może być przydatny zarówno w kształceniu formalnym, jak i nieformalnym.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: Giannopoulos Charalampos K. , Tzima Ioanna G. , Tentolouris Nikolaos K. , Vasileiadis Ioannis A.
Published: February 2023

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are
two cardinal manifestations of the metabolic syndrome, which is becoming a growing global pandemic
and a health care burden. They constitute a pathogenetic duo, with complex interplay
through interrelated, but still partly understood, pathophysiological pathways, which mainly involve
lipid toxicity (expressed through increased hepatic de novo lipogenesis, hepatic and peripheral
insulin resistance, upregulated lipolysis, lipoprotein abnormalities, hyperinsulinemia), impaired
autophagy, mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum stress, adipose tissue dysfunction
with a consequent latent inflammatory state, inflammasome activation, genetic and epigenetic
factors, altered gut microbiota and finally dietary factors. In this review, based on data from
recent studies and focusing mainly on common molecular mechanisms, we will highlight the
common pathophysiological grounds and the interplay between NAFLD and T2DM.
The Application of Dual-layer Spectral Detector CT in Abdominal Vascular
Imaging
Authors: Lai Lu-Yao , Jiang Ying , Shu Jian
Published: February 2023

As a convenient and non-invasive diagnostic method, computed tomography (CT) has been
developing continuously, and dual-energy CT imaging is one of its current research hotspots. Dualenergy
CT, using two different X-ray energies for imaging, can generate spectral image sets such as
virtual monoenergetic images, virtual non-contrast images, iodine density images, uric acid images,
calcium inhibition images, and effective atomic number images. These images could help to increase
the contrast of vascular, improve the detection rate of lesions, reduce artifacts, reduce the dose of radiation,
and characterize materials. Dual-layer spectral detector CT, a detector-based dual-energy scanning
device, has an X-ray tube and a dual-layer X-ray detector that can simultaneously separate lowenergy
and high-energy photons from a multi-energy X-ray beam, which means excellent time registration.
This paper aims to introduce the applications of dual-layer spectral detector CT in abdominal
angiography, including optimizing image quality, reducing the dose of contrast agent and radiation,
providing richer diagnostic information, organ perfusion, and thrombus identification.
An Evolution of Bilirubin Physiology and Analysis
Authors: Kumari Kabita , Pahuja Shravan Kumar , Kumar Sanjeev
Published: February 2023

Bilirubin is a yellow tetrapyrrole molecule found in the gastrointestinal system, and it is
produced when hemoglobin (Hb) is degraded. For treating various liver disorders like jaundice,
serum bilirubin in the body is a testing marker. Jaundice develops when the serum bilirubin level is
more significant than 2.0 to 2.5 mg/dl. Examining different forms of bilirubin, i.e., conjugated (direct)
bilirubin, unconjugated (indirect) bilirubin, and total bilirubin, helps the physician identify the
cause and metabolic disorder of jaundice. Inconsistent bilirubin production and removal results in
lasting neurologic consequences (kernicterus). In this paper, we have presented a brief introduction
to jaundice, the physiological mechanism of bilirubin, its types and causes, clinical approaches toward
patients having jaundice, i.e., the conventional method being practiced in clinical laboratories,
and various non-invasive systems in the point-of-care settings along with their advantages and disadvantages.
Information on bilirubin production and elimination with tracking of bilirubin levels
may help to guide the proper clinical management of jaundice. The primary focus is on the progression
of established methodologies and techniques to newer ones capable of measuring bilirubin
in biological materials.
Ablation of Shank1 Protects against 6-OHDA-induced Cytotoxicity via PRDX3-mediated Inhibition of ER Stress in SN4741 Cells
Authors: Xu Ye-Ping , Zhang Jing , Mei Xue , Wu Yan , Jiao Wei , Wang Yu-Hai , Zhang Ai-Qin
Published: February 2023

Background:

Postsynaptic density (PSD) is an electron-dense structure that contains various
scaffolding and signaling proteins. Shank1 is a master regulator of the synaptic scaffold located at
glutamatergic synapses, and has been proposed to be involved in multiple neurological disorders.

Methods:

In this study, we investigated the role of shank1 in an in vitro Parkinson’s disease (PD)
model mimicked by 6-OHDA treatment in neuronal SN4741 cells. The expression of related molecules
was detected by western blot and immunostaining.

Results:

We found that 6-OHDA significantly increased the mRNA and protein levels of shank1 in
SN4741 cells, but the subcellular distribution was not altered. Knockdown of shank1 via small interfering
RNA (siRNA) protected against 6-OHDA treatment, as evidenced by reduced lactate dehydrogenase
(LDH) release and decreased apoptosis. The results of RT-PCR and western blot showed that
knockdown of shank1 markedly inhibited the activation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress associated
factors after 6-OHDA exposure. In addition, the downregulation of shank1 obviously increased
the expression of PRDX3, which was accompanied by the preservation of mitochondrial function.
Mechanically, downregulation of PRDX3 via siRNA partially prevented the shank1 knockdowninduced
protection against 6-OHDA in SN4741 cells.

Conclusion:

In summary, the present study has provided the first evidence that the knockdown of
shank1 protects against 6-OHDA-induced ER stress and mitochondrial dysfunction through activating
the PRDX3 pathway.
Determining the Coefficient of Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Frame Equipped with Steel Plate Shear Walls Based on FEMA P695 Analytical Method
Authors: Rouhi Hamze , Gholhaki Majid
Published: February 2023

Introduction:

In recent decades, steel plate shear wall (SPSW) has been used as an efficient lateral strength system in steel structures. In this research, the seismic behavior of a relatively new system of reinforced concrete frame (RCF) equipped with SPSW has been investigated. Behavior coefficient, as the most important parameter of structural behavior, reduces the lateral forces of the earthquake and the structure with inelastic deformations, reduces the amount of earthquake energy, and structures are designed for less force than the amount of elastic behavior.

Methods:

Four low, mid, and high-rise models with 4, 8, 12 and 24-stories under 44 far-field records and 56 near-field earthquake records have been proposed by using FEMA P695. Ductility and coefficient of behavior of a relatively new system of RCF equipped with SPSW have been calculated according to the proposed method FEMA P695. Due to the significant number and relatively wide range of earthquake records used in the analysis and the use of incremental dynamic analysis (IDA), considering the inherent uncertainty in the earthquake, the results of the analysis are more valid.

Results:

The results of the analysis showed the coefficient of behavior of the RCF equipped with SPSW in the limit state to be equal to 8.7, and in the allowable stress state as equal to 12.5.

Conclusion:

A comparison of the calculated coefficient of behavior of RCF equipped with SPSW (8.7) with the proposed value of ASCE07-2010 (8) shows an increase of 8.75% that indicates this code to be conservative.
Contact Lens as Drug Delivery System for Glaucoma Treatment: A Review
Authors: Aljaberi Hassan A. , Noori Zaydoon T. Mohammed
Published: February 2023

Background and Objective:

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness globally and directly impacts optic nerve-altering vision. The condition has been linked to increased intraocular pressure (IOP). The objective of this review was to search how well different drug solutions containing gold nanoparticles (GNPs) work in treating glaucoma, with a focus on using contact lenses instead of regular eye drops.

Materials and Methods:

The methodology was structured to review different literature on ocular drugs used in contact lenses to investigate and determine their impact on intraocular pressure (IOP). Some of the intraocular drugs covered in the methodology include timolol, bimatoprost, pilocarpine, etc. The review focused on using gold nanoparticles (GNPs) infused with the solution in contact lenses for timolol.

Results:

The review found that timolol helps reduce intraocular pressure for the first two hours, but then the effect wears off. Moreover, gold nanoparticles infused with timolol solution on contact lenses improved IOP. GNPs in lenses increased the accumulation of timolol in ciliary muscles.

Conclusion:

Contact lenses with saturated drug solutions and GNPs have better bioavailability and release durations. Given its prolonged drug release time and bioavailability, the timolol solution relieves intraocular pressure better than other solutions. GNP-infused contact lenses with drug solutions have been found to treat glaucoma better than eye drops.

Authors: Hashimoto Yuki , Ishimaru Yumi , Chiyozono Miho , Imabayashi Sakurako , Umemoto Rino , Yamanokuchi Toshitaka , Yoshitomi Takeshi
Published: February 2023

Background:

Little is known about the diurnal variation in choroidal circulatory dynamics in healthy eyes.

Objective:

This study aimed to clarify the diurnal variation in choroidal circulatory hemodynamic changes in healthy participants using laser speckle flowgraphy.

Methods:

This prospective study included the left eye of 14 healthy young adults (21.9 ± 4.0 years). The mean blur rate, a quantitative index of the relative blood flow velocity, was measured by laser speckle flowgraphy. The macular mean blur rate of choroidal blood flow velocity, subfoveal choroidal thickness, intraocular pressure, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean blood pressure, and ocular perfusion pressure were evaluated at eight points every 3 h over a 24-h period. In addition, differences in each parameter between daytime and night were also investigated.

Results:

Intraocular pressure, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean blood pressure, ocular perfusion pressure, and macular mean blur rate were highest at 6 PM, and subfoveal choroidal thickness was thinnest at 6 PM. There was a significant positive correlation between mean blur rate and intraocular pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and mean blood pressure. Furthermore, intraocular pressure, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean blood pressure, ocular perfusion pressure, and mean blur rate were significantly higher and choroidal thickness significantly lower during daytime than at night.

Conclusion:

These results suggest that choroidal circulation hemodynamics change with diurnal variations in systemic circulation involving the autonomic nervous system in healthy eyes.
Analysis of the Ophthalmological Manifestations of Diagnosed Cases of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
Authors: George Deepa Elsa
Published: February 2023

Purpose:

The purpose of this study was to explore the ophthalmological involvement in diagnosed cases of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH).

Methods:

Case series of all patients diagnosed with IIH from October 2012-2014 at the Neurology Department of Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences were prospectively analysed. Analysis was done for 35 patients who fulfilled the updated diagnostic criteria.

Results:

80% of the patients were women with a mean age of 34.5. The chief complaint was a throbbing headache in 85.7%.The least common complaints were tinnitus, phonophobia, and photophobia, and one patient had right facial paresis. All patients had well-preserved visual acuity. 30 patients had normal extraocular movements, bilateral abduction restriction was found in 4 patients, and one was reported to be with third and sixth nerve paresis. 22 patients were in Obese class I. CSF opening pressure was elevated in all patients. 80% had Grade 1 papilledema. Enlargement of blindspot and peripheral constriction of fields were commonly seen. 41.4% of patients showed inferior RNFL thickness to be the most affected. A statistically significant association was found between the grade of papilloedema and the visual field.

Conclusion:

All our patients had papilledema clinically, with well-preserved central vision. Visual field defects were found, which showed a positive correlation with the severity of papilledema, showing the visual field to be a sensitive indicator. Contrary to expectation, an increase in RNFL on OCT was not a universal finding in our patients despite clinically observable papilledema.
The Post-Exercise Lower Limbs Recovery Process: A Questionnaire Applied To Physiotherapists
Authors: Duarte João P. , Silva Gonçalo , Sousa Filipa , Machado Leandro , Fernandes Ricardo J. , Vilas-Boas J. Paulo
Published: February 2023

Background:

Physical exercise is essential to improve quality of life, with muscle recovery after exercise being crucial since it reduces the delayed sensation of muscle discomfort and fatigue. The present study aims to identify the methods used by physiotherapists to recover sports practitioners after physical exercise and presents a non-experimental, quantitative and descriptive nature.

Methods:

Fifty-two physiotherapists (52% women), with 9.8 ± 7.3 years of experience and different sports backgrounds, were asked to complete an anonymous questionnaire that consisted of (1) participant demographics, (2) recovery wearable sports garment, and (3) development of a new product for muscle recovery.

Results:

Physiotherapists reported that sports practitioners use legging-like garments during training (n=22), after training (n=19), while some physiotherapists were not aware if their athletes use any legging-like garment (n=17). The common characteristics of the garments are the compression (56%), heating (34%) and, in some cases, massage (6%) and printed electronic devices (4%). Physiotherapists mention that sports practitioners usually report lower limbs localized muscle fatigue after training or competition (90%), and the most affected areas are the entire lower limb (n=12), quadriceps (n=9) and hamstring and glutes (n=7 each). The most common therapy used is massage (n=12), followed by electrostimulation (n=8) and compression (n=5).

Conclusion:

Physiotherapists believe that electrostimulation should be used to recover quadriceps, hamstrings and the whole lower limb, and localized heating should be centered in the entire lower limb, hamstrings and quadriceps (in number of answers). Alternatively, massage is better to recover the whole lower limb, gastrocnemius, and hamstrings. When asked what characteristics the garment should have, physiotherapists reported that comfort (n=44), breathability (n=37) and ease of care and cleaning are vital.

Authors: Kutela Boniphace , John Rafael , Langa Neema
Published: February 2023

Background:

Mitigation measures to lower the spread of COVID-19 have significantly impacted the transportation sector. However, the “shift-streets” measures aimed at providing space for social distancing have received less research attention.

Methodology:

This study used a text-mining approach to explore the content and spatial distribution of 1413 reported actions taken between 2020 and 2022. The focus was on the action type, purpose, infrastructure affected, coverage, longevity, and reason for triggering such a response.

Results:

It was observed that the United States had the highest number of reported mitigation measures. Most countries adopted shift-streets mitigation measures for moving people, public health, and economic recovery. Further, irrespective of the country, measures applied for the entire roadways and travel lanes were dominant on either one or more streets or the entire city. Developing countries performed reactive measures, while developed countries performed strategic measures.

Conclusion:

The study found a vast diversity of COVID-19 spread mitigation measures. The findings in this study can help city planners to understand the possible changes in mobility parameters in the post-COVID-19 era.

Authors: Kasianenko E. M.  , Omelchenko  A. I.  , Baum O. I.
Published: February 2023

Regeneration of cartilaginous tissue and its shape change at laser exposure can be used as a basis for prospective medical operations, improving patient's quality of life. The most important criterion of such operations success is a cell survival after laser exposure, therefore reduction of exposure duration and power is an important task at such methods development. Nanoparticles are actively used in medicine, and one of their intended usages is photothermal effect enhancement at laser exposure to biological tissue. However, articular tissue is quite resistant to foreign agents penetration, therefore the study of nanoparticles penetration capability and their impregnation effect is the priority task for achieving the desired medical effect. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) of gel phantoms and cartilaginous tissue of a joint, impregnated with nanoparticles, at laser exposure with erbium fiber laser with length wave of 1.56 μm is performed in this study. Articular cartilaginous tissue sections of three types (intact, with laser damage and after low laser exposure) were impregnated with nanoparticles of Fe3O4 for further study using OCT elastography. Increase of deformations, caused by heating of phantoms and tissue, impregnated with nanoparticles, is observed. OCT elastography data indicate the dependence of tissue deformation on previous tissue exposure history. The work substantiates increase of photothermal impact of laser exposure to tissue deformation at various nanoparticles introduction. Keywords: nanoparticles, OCT elastography, biological tissue laser modification, biophotonics.

Second-harmonic generation in the surface layer of a dielectric spheroidal particle: II. Analysis of the solution
Authors: Shamyna A. A.  , Kapshai V. N.  , Talkachov A. I.
Published: February 2023

The vectors used in the solution of the problem of second-harmonic generation in the surface layer of a dielectric spheroidal particle are explicitly expressed in terms of the basis vectors of the spherical, cylindrical, and Cartesian coordinate systems. Three-dimensional directivity patterns characterizing the spatial distribution of the generated radiation in the far-field region and its polarization are constructed. It is found that for a small size of a spheroidal particle, the directivity pattern due to each of the non-chiral components of the nonlinear dielectric susceptibility tensor has its own individual shape. A proportional increase in the linear dimensions of the particle leads to separation of several directions of predominant radiation with a high directivity in the directivity pattern. If the exciting radiation has a linear polarization, then the generated radiation due to one (any) of the independent components of the tensor is also linearly polarized. Mathematical properties characterizing the spatial distribution of the generated radiation in the far-field region and properties associated with the change of problem parameters are found for the functions used in the solution. A relationship between the symmetries of the directivity patterns of doubled-frequency radiation and the indicated properties is revealed. The conditions under which the generation of radiation does not occur and the conditions under which the generated radiation has a linear polarization are found. The above conditions are related to the features of the spatial distribution of the generated radiation and its polarization, illustrated in the directivity patterns. Methods for estimating the independent components of the nonlinear dielectric susceptibility tensor using these conditions are proposed. Keywords: second-harmonic generation, spheroidal dielectric particle, symmetry of the spatial distribution of radiation, conditions for the absence of generation, conditions for the generation of linearly polarized radiation.

Published: February 2023

Measurements of the Hugoniot elastic limit and the spall strength of the eutectic alloy Bi – 56.5 mass%, Pb – mass43.5% were carried out at sample temperatures in the range of 20 0C – 109 0C based on registration and analysis of the evolution of shock compression pulses of various amplitudes. It is shown that an increase in the temperature of the samples leads to a decrease in the Hugoniot elastic limit by 25%, and the spall strength of the alloy under study – by 30%, regardless of the strain rate. An increase in the strain rate by two orders of magnitude leads to an increase in the spall strength by about three times. Approximation power-law dependences of the decay of the elastic precursor on the thickness of the samples and the spall strength on the strain rate before fracture at normal and elevated temperatures are constructed.

Authors: Oulmi Abdelmalek , Nadjim Semcheddine , Guendouz Ali , Frih Benalia , Laadel Noureddine , Adjabi Abdelhamid
Published: February 2023

In arid and semi-arid areas, drought is an important abiotic factor that limits Durum wheat production. Identifying genotypes tolerant to drought is a challenge for plant breeders. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of direct and indirect selection on Durum wheat under rain-fed conditions in the high plains of Sétif, Algeria. Four parental varieties (Ofanto, MBB, Mrb5, Waha), three crosses (Ofanto/MBB, Ofanto/Mrb5, Ofanto/Waha) representing the F5, F6, and F7 populations, and one cultivar (Bousselm, control) were cultivated. Pheno-morpho-physiological traits were measured at the heading stage and yield and its components at grain maturity. Our results showed that the response to direct selection was reflected in a significant increase in grain yield, economic yield, and number of spikes, suggesting that grain yield may be improved using one of these characteristics as the selection criterion. Selection by canopy temperature was affected by a significant decrease in the drought susceptibility index (-11.3 %), making it possible to obtain abiotic stress-resistant lines. The study of the relationships between F5, F6, and F7 populations has shown that grain yield, economic yield, and plant height correlate with each generation, indicating no effect of genotype-environment interaction, unlike others. Late selection revealed eight meaningful lines (L1, L8, L14, L28, L32, L35, L36, and L40) in the selection process, maintaining high production throughout different cropping seasons. These successful lines were selected based on traits related to productivity: Gr.YLD, Ec.YLD, NS. These characters provide the same information as breeding programs, according to our results.
The Involvement of Service Users and People With Lived Experience in Mental Health Care Innovation Through Design: Systematic Review (Preprint)
Authors: Veldmeijer Lars , Terlouw Gijs , Van Os Jim , Van Dijk Olga , Van 't Veer Job , Boonstra Nynke
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND

Mental health care faces challenges that not only necessitate innovation but also require the involvement of service users and people with lived experience in developing and evaluating mental health care services. As the development of digital interventions is becoming more prevalent, design approaches are increasingly finding their way into mental health. There is evidence that these approaches can successfully integrate user experience into mental health services. However, there is no clear overview of the studies conducted and the lessons learned concerning the involvement of service users and people with lived experience.

OBJECTIVE

In this systematic review, we aimed to provide an overview of the involvement of service users and people with lived experience in mental health care services through design approaches and to synthesize the advantages of design approaches in mental health care.

METHODS

The following 5 databases were searched for relevant abstracts: PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase. In addition, 2 health design journal archives, Design for Health and The Journal of Health Design, were searched. To categorize the results, we collected the reported added value from the included articles and conducted a thematic synthesis in which the themes were developed from the retrieved data. The themes were discussed, revised, and checked until saturation was achieved.

RESULTS

We included and categorized 33 papers. Most studies involved service users, primarily adults, and used various design approaches. Most of these studies aimed to design or evaluate digital interventions. Service users and people with lived experience were involved in different roles but never as decision makers. Studies that used co-design approaches exhibited the highest levels of involvement. Various added values were reported, including tailoring and testing interventions and digital interventions, improving engagement and collaboration, gathering the needs of stakeholders, and empowering participants as resourceful actors. The challenges reported were maintaining participants’ continued participation throughout the study, managing the iterative nature of design, providing a safe space, balancing insights from design and medical science, and navigating design processes in medical environments.

CONCLUSIONS

This systematic review provides an overview of the studies that used design approaches to involve service users and people with lived experience in mental health care innovation. Design approaches have advantages in mental health care innovation, offering added value and having manageable challenges. Future studies using design approaches in mental health care should involve participants as partners and decision makers and report on collaboration in a systematic and clear manner.

La identidad indígena como identidad urbana. Un abordaje descolonial a las crónicas de Ana Matías Rendón
Authors: Corona Ignacio
Published: February 2023

En el contexto mexicano, la crónica urbana escrita por autores provenientes de los pueblos originarios adquiere una doble significación política y cultural con respecto al tema de la ciudadanía. Desde una perspectiva de análisis descolonial, este artículo examina las crónicas en línea de Ana Matías Rendón sobre lo urbano. Se identifica en ellas una contra-discursividad con respecto al dominante imaginario urbano-mestizo mexicano, pero también sobre la propia experiencia aurática de lo urbano, simbolizada en la auto-representación de la subjetividad privilegiada del flâneur y su vasta tradición narrativa en el ámbito latinoamericano. Indigenous Identity as Urban Identity. A Decolonial Approach to the Chronicles of Ana Matías RendónAbstract: In the Mexican context, the urban chronicle written by authors from the first peoples acquires a double political and cultural signification with regards to citizenship. From a decolonial perspective, this article examines Ana Matías Rendón’s online chronicles on the urban. The analysis identifies in them a counter-discursivity with respect to the dominant urban-Mestizo imaginary, but also on the very auratic experience of the urban embodied in the self-representation of the flâneur’s privileged subjetivity and its vast narrative tradition in Latin America.Key words: Urban Indígenous Chronicle; Minor Chronicle; Internal Migration; Anti-flâneur; Transnational Public Sphere.

La influencia del reclutamiento político en la experiencia y opiniones de los legisladores mexicanos (1997-2021)
Authors: Montaño Reyes Mónica , Márquez Romo Cristian
Published: February 2023

El artículo toma como punto de partida la consideración de una muestra de 849 diputados federales mexicanos entre 1997 y 2021 para presentar los hallazgos sobre ¿en qué medida el reclutamiento político influye sobre el tipo de experiencia, opiniones/noción de representación e ideología política de los legisladores? A partir de ello, señala varios resultados relacionados con los partidos políticos y las asociaciones estudiantiles; la experiencia política y el ingreso a través de asociaciones civiles, empresariales o estudiantiles. Y en lo que se refiere a la noción de representación y la ideología. Finalmente, en las conclusiones discute la importancia de analizar la intersección entre los canales formales de acceso a la representación política y las actitudes y percepciones de los representantes a nivel individual

Abstract: Threat to cyber security are significant in providing phishing attacks with huge industry area with anti phishing simulations. Thus it minimizes risk taken infuses attacks with phishing. Large scale phishing training participates various simulations based on phishing attacks. In our proposed system phishing attacks will be analysed based on its credentials and simulated with training data results. They are developed along with data driven models for classification of users perceiving such phishing attacks. Besides analyzation of results based on huge attacks on phishing and training them against those phishing data users most clicking behaviour will be monitored regularly. Cyber phishing attacks in DDoS are significant in IoT are threat in internet environment and predicts attacks through collaborative learning algorithm. Attacked systems connected through onine processes malicious actions without any authorized or authenticated attacks. Further phishing techniques will be predicted using training data and updated on machine learning using Collaborative Learning Algorithm.
Object Detection System with Voice Alert for Blind

Abstract: As we can see, there are numerous blind persons nearby who encounter various challenges, such as difficulty in crossing roads and identifying objects in their environment. With the advancement in technology in several fields, human life is evolving to better standards. Unfortunately, those who are blind are unable to fully enjoy this kind of lifestyle. So, this project is one strategy for introducing blind individuals to a new way of living that makes them independent on others. The major goal of this project is to create a deep-learning algorithm that can be used to analyse the environment for people who are blind by using the rapidly evolving technology. We'll accomplish this using object detection and transform the data into speech alerts and warnings. Real-time object detection is one of the more challenging tasks since it requires continuous processing and takes a long time. The convolution neural network is the main backbone for any type of object detection (CNN). We can create algorithms based on photos and videos by employing a convolution neural network. We utilise the YOLO technique for object detection because it is simple and quick to process. In addition, for the voice warnings, we employed Text to Speech (TTS). The dataset used in this technique is the COCO dataset, which contains the names of things and objects in our daily lives. These algorithms have been thoroughly trained by the over 90 outdoor objects that we view every day in our daily lives.

Hoffa fractures are rare fractures of the femoral condyle that occur in
the coronal plane. In most cases, high-energy trauma leads to isolated
coronal fractures of one of the femoral condyles, medial or lateral. The
fracture was approached from both the medial and lateral sides of the
distal femur
DNA methylation markers of age(ing) and other things in non-model organisms

An accurate inference of the chronological and biological age of
individuals is fundamental to population ecology and our understanding
of ageing itself, its evolution and the biological processes that affect
or even cause ageing. In humans, epigenetic clocks based on the DNA
methylation (DNAm) at selected CpG sites correlate highly with
chronological age. Discrepancies between the inferred epigenetic and
known chronological age predict morbidity and mortality, and therefore
epigenetic clocks are thought to reflect biological age. Recently, a
growing number epigenetic clocks in non-model organisms have been
developed towards a diverse array of purposes in commercial,
conservation and ageing research. Here we review those studies and
conduct the first meta-analysis to assess the effects of different
aspects of experimental protocol on the accuracy of epigenetic clocks
for non-model species. Our analysis reveals higher coefficients of
determination (R) of chronological age for
epigenetic clocks based on the HorvathMammalMethylChip4, compared to
other DNAm quantification approaches. No dependence of
(R) was detected for the number of CpG sites
in a clock; the sample size; the number or kind of tissue(s) used; the
class of animals; or whether captive or wild animals were sampled to
infer the epigenetic clocks. We further conclude that epigenetic clocks
can predict chronological age with relatively high accuracy, suggesting
great potential for the field of ecological epigenetics. We therefore
encourage further research on the topic of ecological epigenetics in
relation to ageing and, perhaps more importantly, discuss the potential
of employing DNAm to assess key traits other than age.
Patch-scale edge effects do not predict landscape-scale fragmentation effects
Authors: Fahrig Lenore
Published: February 2023

Negative patch-scale edge effects, where species are more common in
habitat interior than edge, are often used as evidence of negative
fragmentation effects. This is because, for a given total habitat area,
a more fragmented landscape contains less interior habitat. I tested
this cross-scale extrapolation by extracting from the literature a
sample of species showing negative or positive landscape-scale
fragmentation effects, and then for each species I searched for studies
from which I could calculated the slope of its patch-scale edge effect.
Species showing negative patch-scale edge effects were equally likely to
show negative or positive landscape-scale fragmentation effects, and
likewise for species showing positive patch-scale edge effects. Thus, a
species’ patch-scale edge effect does reliably predict its response to
habitat fragmentation. Fragmentation effects, and the efficacy of
policies related to them, require evidence at a landscape scale,
comparing species’ responses across landscapes with different levels of
fragmentation.
