Una arquitectura de epítetos
Authors: De Molina Santiago
Published: May 2024

El concepto de ‘vivienda’ ha experimentado una evolución en su definición con la incorporación de una serie de adjetivos a lo largo del tiempo. Este estudio se centra en la diversificación de la vivienda durante el siglo XX, un período en el que este concepto, antes simple y claro, se vio obligado a diversificarse. Se analizan adjetivos como “mínima”, “social”, “sostenible”, “digna” y “flexible”, que se han integrado a la definición de vivienda, resaltando la necesidad de un complemento que le otorgue sentido y defina su alcance.
Este análisis se llevó a cabo mediante una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura y un análisis detallado de las tendencias arquitectónicas y sociales a lo largo del siglo XX. Los resultados indican que estos adjetivos no solo han adquirido una naturaleza sistémica, sino que también son capaces de constituir más que un simple lugar común: se han transformado en un sistema perfecto para rastrear los intereses de una época. Además, proporcionan una interpretación sociopolítica de alto nivel sobre el concepto de vivienda.
Este artículo identifica cuáles de estos adjetivos han provocado un cambio profundo en el concepto de vivienda y cuáles son indicadores claros de las tendencias actuales en este campo. El objetivo es proporcionar una visión más profunda de la evolución de la vivienda y su impacto en la sociedad. Los hallazgos de este estudio tienen implicaciones significativas para la comprensión de la vivienda en el contexto contemporáneo y pueden informar futuras investigaciones y prácticas en el campo de la arquitectura.

Chimonocalamus longiusculus Hsueh & T.P. Yi (Poaceae:Bambusoidae) a New Record for India
Authors: Mao A. A. , Bhaumik M.
Published: May 2024

During Plant exploration tour to Apatani Plateau, Lower Subansiri district in Arunachal Pradesh in October 2008, an aromatic bamboo was collected by the first author. The plant sample was collected from the hills of 'Luro Poliyang' near Ziro town, the head quarter of Lower Subansiri district. A clump of yellowish green bamboo with long internodes, was spotted, growing inside the subtropical forest at an altitude of c. 1715m. On approaching the bamboo clump, the local guide told that the bamboo's internodes contain clear water which is aromatic and nice for drinking. On cutting one of the bamboo culms, to the suprise it was found as told by the local guide. A single internode contains about 25-50 ml of the sweet aromatic liquid. It was also observed that the freshly cut and split bamboo when kept in a room gives a strong swet aroma for about a week. The plants appear to be rare as there were only a few clumps found in the whole hill during the survey. On close examination along with studies confirmed thatthe plant was reported as endemic to China (Dezhu & Stapleton 2006; Hsueh & Yi 1979). This is the first report from India and hence it is a new distributional record.

Ptilidium pulcherrimum (G. Weber) Vainio (Hepaticae:Ptilidiaceae) - An Addition to Indian Bryoflora
Authors: Singh Devendra , Singh D. K.
Published: May 2024

The genus Ptilidium Nees was recorded for the first time from India by Mitten (1861), who described two species, viz. Ptilidium ciliare (L.) Hampe, and P. trichophyllum Mitt. [now treated under a separate genus as Blepharostoma trichophyllum (L.) Dumort.] based on the specimens collected by Sir J.D. Hooker from Sikkim. In the present state of our knowledge the genus is represented world over by three species, viz. P. ciliare (L.) Hampe, P. pulcherrimum (G. Weber) Vainio and P. californicum (Austin) Pearson (Stotler & Crandall-Stotler, 2005), of which only P. ciliare was known from India (Mitten, 1861; Chopra, 1943; Parihar & al., 1994; Singh & al., 2008). In a recent exploration in North Sikkim, some interesting corticolous specimens of the genus were collected with undifferentiated stem cells, 3-4(-5)-lobed leaves with the dorsal lobe 6, 10 cells wide at base and the dorsal sinus descending up to 2/3, 4/5 of leaf length, hence distinct from P. ciliare. A subsequent literature review (Macvicar, 1926; Schuster 1966; Paton, 1999) revealed it to be Ptilidium pulcherrimum (G. Weber) Vainio, earlier known from China, Japan, Europe and North America. The same has been described and illustrated here to facilitate its easy identification in Indian flora.

A revised and improved toxicokinetic model to simulate serum concentrations of bioaccumulative PFAS
Authors: Greene Christopher W , Bogdan Alexander R , Goeden Helen M
Published: May 2024

Minnesota has been grappling with public health issues regarding exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) since 2002. For some PFAS, the traditional paradigm for developing health-based water guidance values (HBGVs) is inadequate due to their tendency to accumulate within the body and to transfer from mother to newborn via placental transfer and breastfeeding. In 2017, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) developed an Excel-based model to simulate daily serum PFAS concentrations over a lifetime of exposure to facilitate the derivation of HBGVs for bioaccumulative PFAS. Model results compare favorably to data on breastfed infants, who represent a susceptible and highly exposed population. Since 2017, new data have emerged that warranted a re-evaluation of key model parameters. Here, we present a revised and updated version of the 2017 model and assess the impact of the updates on the model results for perfluorooctanoate (PFOA). Updates to the model’s calculations and input parameters resulted in a 57% reduction in peak modeled PFOA serum concentrations in 1-year-old infants compared to the original model. However, the significantly lower epidemiologic-based reference serum concentration of 0.93 ng/mL (compared to the laboratory animal-based value of 130 ng/mL used in 2017) resulted in a decrease in the noncancer guidance value from 35 to 0.24 ng/L. Currently available serum PFOA data indicate that at drinking water concentrations at or below ~1 ng/L, drinking water would not be a major source of PFOA exposure compared to non-water sources.

Energy Relocation in the Context of Change of International Economic Paradigm
Authors: Telegina E. , Morozov V.
Published: May 2024

The authors propose the concept of energy relocation as a phenomenon of the 2020s, expressed in the form of a global sharp redirection of energy flows, collectively forming a circular movement of oil and gas resources from the West to the East, reflected by shocks in the energy markets. It is substantiated that its driver is a change in the global economic paradigm during the transition to a new multipolar system based on strategic alliances. In this regard, relocation is a reflection of the underlying processes of change in the world economy. Energy relocation was the result of an accumulated crisis that has developed successively since 2008. to 2023 in three stages, characterized as the Shale Revolution, “European displacement” and Russian “turn to the East”. The authors substantiate that, taken together, the three listed phenomena form a single process of energy relocation, because have a consistent logic and a single economic nature. Having become the result of a change in the international economic paradigm, energy relocation itself is shaping a new future of the world, in which the energy issue will remain dominant. Understanding this issue in the new system of strategic alliances is natural through the prism of the process of energy relocation. The authors propose a conceptual framework for such an understanding, and, accordingly, the possibility of moving to a new theoretical quality of forecasting the development of the world economy and energy.

Introduction: Severe Acute Maternal Morbidity (SAMM) is a tool which is more advantageous compared to maternal mortality as an indicator of obstetric care. The global MMR shows a reduction from 342 to 211 death per 1 lakh live birth from 2007 to 2017 with a 38% over 10 years. Under Millennium development goals (MDG)-5, goal was to reduce maternal mortality by 75% between 1990-2015. By the end of year 2020 MMR in India was 97 per lakh. Now the Sustainable development goal (SDG) is to reach MMR below 70 by 2030. Aims and Objectives: * To as certain the incidence of maternal near-miss indices * To as certain the reasons behind maternal mortality * To as certain the occurrences of near-miss instance Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at Cheluvamba hospital, Mysore, Karnataka, India during January 2022 to December 2022. Maternal fatalities and near miss incidents are included in the study population. Case definitions were made using the 2009 WHO criteria. Diagnoses of life-threatening illnesses were made, and cases that satisfied WHO 2009 criteria were chosen. Analyses of maternal mortality from the same time frame were also conducted. Anemia and other medical conditions were viewed as secondary causes leading to the mother's near-miss and death, while hemorrhage, hypertension, sepsis, and other conditions were classified as primary causes for patients based on their final diagnosis. Results: In our Institute, 8632 deliveries took place. In this study, the MMR was 251/100,000 live births, while the MNMIR (Maternal Near Miss Incidence Ratio) was 14/1000 live births. The ratio of MNM to MM was 5.7:1. The MI (total mortality) was 14.8%. The ratio of severe maternal outcomes to live births, or SMOR, was 16.8/1000. Hypertensive disorder (42.85%) was the leading cause of maternal mortality, with antepartum eclampsia being the main leading cause in our setup, followed by hemorrhage (19.04%). Among the near miss events, hypertensive disorder was the leading cause with 49.16%, followed by hemorrhage (31.66%), severe anemia, and abortion, which account for approximately 7.5%. Conclusion: Maternal morbidity and mortality can be decreased by recognizing the risk factors, identifying high-risk cases, promptly referring them, and stabilizing the referral system.

Ovarian ectopic pregnancy is rare and constitutes around 3% of all ectopic pregnancies. Its presentation is similar to tubal ectopic pregnancy and is difficult to diagnose based on the presentation and ultrasound findings. Here, we describe one such case which we encountered in our practice. Primigravida patient at early gestation presented with vaginal spotting and pain in lower abdomen. She was suspected as ruptured ectopic pregnancy based on examination and ultrasound findings. Immediate laparotomy was performed and patient was diagnosed to have ruptured ovarian pregnancy intraoperatively. Partial ovariotomy was performed and the case was successfully managed. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. Surgery is the mainstay of definitive diagnosis and treatment. Identifying these cases early is imperative as such patients can collapse suddenly and there are high chances of maternal morbidity and mortality.

Focusing on the fact that there are deep intricacies involved in a wine's quality and the possibility of having predictive analytics, the current study reviews the effectiveness of various machine learning models at predicting the quality of red wines. Using a wine dataset that includes pleasure of taste, sugar content, average total alcohol, and different parameters, we optimize the data through the use of preprocessing techniques including feature selection and normalization. The choice of a Random Forest Classifier, deemed recognizable for its efficiency and accuracy when dealing with the complexity and multidimensionality of the data, is one of the key components of the methodology we propose. Our study elicits a considerable concern for sciences and future prediction, offering very keen answers as to the primary factors that drive the ranks of wine. Through this study not only the role of machine learning is being enriched, but also the fundamental basis for the foreseeing of beverage quality appears to be established which can be used as a model for the following research work. Thereby, this research work would have a multiplex of impacts on the fields of enology and computational analytics by offering an example for the implementation of the modern machine learning algorithms with the existing approaches to the evaluation of the wine quality.

Traditionally it was thought that a robust equity market and bond market are essential for a stable financial system of a country. But in the rapidly evolving and emerging Indian economy, sustainable investing is also equally important as the investors are becoming socially conscious on their choice of investments. The Indian corporate world is witnessing a growing awareness of sustainability and responsible business practices. Linking the environmental performance with financial performance is of paramount importance to Indian corporate sector. Though the stress is on Innovation, Infrastructure and Investment, companies are expected to be equipped with mitigating and adapting to the climate change to perform better. This study highlights the emerging need for investment in sustainability index along with equity and bond indices. Equity market is represented by NIFTY 50 index and bond market is represented by NIFTY G sec index and Money market index, while sustainability index is represented by NIFTY 100 ESG index. This study aims to compare the market returns of equity, bond and sustainability indices using correlation analysis. Another objective is to check if equity market index is influenced by bond market index and sustainability index using Regression analysis. Further, it forecasts the movements of selected indices using ARIMA and TBATS using R software. The time horizon chosen for this study is a 5-year daily data from 1st Oct 2018 to 31st Oct 2023. The findings of the study shows that there is a correlation amongst equity returns, G-Sec returns and ESG Sustainability index returns, it is also found that only sustainability index has a positive and significant influence on equity returns. Equity returns can be predicted using Auto Arima and G-Sec returns can be predicted using TBATS forecasting technique. Money market returns can be predicted using both Auto Arima and TBATS forecasting techniques. But, both Auto Arima and TBATS do not help in prediction of returns for ESG Sustainability index returns. The findings of the study are imperative to the companies to remain relevant and competitive in the evolving market and investors to earn better returns.

Soil water potential (SWP) strongly influences plant productivity and ecosystem functioning, particularly in arid regions characterized by sporadic and pulsed rainfall. This work aims to improve understanding of the response of SWP to varied rainfall pulses, and of the water-use strategies of a typical desert plant (Haloxylon ammodendron, HA) in arid northwestern China. Rainfall manipulation experiments and field measurements on HA were undertaken to explore the response features of SWP and plant physiological status to pulsed rainfall events of varied magnitudes and durations. The response value of SWP increased with rainfall magnitude, and was most affected by three vital factors (antecedent SWP, total rainfall, and rainfall intensity). Low antecedent SWP amplifies SWP's sensitivity to subsequent events, accelerating its response to smaller rainfalls (< 5 mm) compared to larger ones (> 15 mm). Small rainfall can increase SWP by 0.5-2 MPa in the 20-cm layer, sustaining plant physiological activities under high antecedent SWP conditions (> 3.5 MPa), and thus improving the water use efficiency and drought resistance of HA. Therefore, small events play a vital role in maintaining SWP and promoting water use of desert plants. Given the nature of plants' utilization of small rainfall events, re-examining ecologically valid SWP thresholds of HA and other similar desert plants is critical.

Understanding the relationship between census size, recent demography and genetic diversity is central for effective conservation and management of threatened species. Thorny skate (Amblyraja radiata) biomass in the northwest Atlantic has declined significantly in the past 50 years, prompting strict conservation measures . Curiously, population recovery has not occurred in the Gulf of Maine. We conducted whole genome sequencing of thorny skate samples collected from across its range. Genetic diversity was similar in all sampled locations, but we discovered a ~31 megabase supergene bi-allelic locus associated with a discrete size polymorphism occurring in the northwest Atlantic. Historical demographic modelling reveals that the allele associated with larger size originally introgressed into the ancestral thorny skate population ~160,000 years ago. Off Newfoundland (Canada), where population recovered, supergene genotypes are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. In contrast, the Gulf of Maine population, exhibiting the most acute non-recovery, displays a significant deficit of heterozygotes. This strongly implies sub-regional fitness effects associated with the supergene, hindering recovery efforts in the Gulf of Maine. At the same time, regional migration sustains genetic variability in the recombining genome component, preventing speciation between morphs. This study highlights a rarely considered significance of context-dependent genetic compatibilities in the conservation of threatened populations and reconcile census size trajectory with genetic diversity estimates through accurate evolutionary modelling.

Ovine herpesvirus-2 (OvHV-2) is the causative agent of malignant catarrhal fever (MCF), a serious and often fatal disease that affects cattle and other ruminants.This study aimed to investigate the molecular epidemiology and genetic diversity of OvHV-2 strains circulating in sheep and cattle populations in the Jammu and Kashmir region of India. Screening of 150 sheep and 57 cattle blood samples revealed the presence of the OvHV-2 polymerase (pol) gene in 8.6% of sheep, 10% of apparently healthy cattle, and 29.7% of cattle exhibiting MCF-like symptoms. The full-length glycoprotein B (gB) gene (2800 bp) and an 875 bp internal fragment were successfully amplified, cloned, and sequenced from pol-positive samples. Comparative sequence analysis of the deduced gB amino acid sequences identified seven substitutions at positions 278, 341, 390, 440, 468, 539, and 566 compared to reference strains. Phylogenetic analysis based on the gB nucleotide sequences clustered the OvHV-2 strains from this study within the Indian clade, distinct from strains reported in the UK and US. These findings provide insights into the genetic diversity of OvHV-2 strains circulating in Jammu and Kashmir, with the identified mutations potentially influencing virus-host interactions. Further investigations into the functional implications of these mutations are warranted to understand their role in viral pathogenesis and tropism.
