Isoscopoletin is a compound derived from various plants traditionally used for the treatment of skin diseases. However, there have been no reported therapeutic effects of isoscopoletin on atopic dermatitis (AD). AD is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, and commonly used treatments have side effects; thus, there is a need to identify potential natural candidate substances. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether isoscopoletin regulates the inflammatory mediators associated with AD in TNF-α/IFN-γ-treated HaCaT cells and PMA/ionomycin treated RBL-2H3 cells. We determined the influence of isoscopoletin on cell viability through an MTT assay and investigated the production of inflammatory mediators using ELISA and RT-qPCR. Moreover, we analyzed the transcription factors that regulate inflammatory mediators using Western blots and ICC. The results showed that isoscopoletin did not affect cell viability below 40 μM in either HaCaT or RBL-2H3 cells. Isoscopoletin suppressed the production of TARC/CCL17, MDC/CCL22, MCP-1/CCL2, IL-8/CXCL8, and IL-1β in TNF-α/IFN-γ-treated HaCaT cells and IL-4 in PMA/ionomycin-treated RBL-2H3 cells. Furthermore, in TNF-α/IFN-γ-treated HaCaT cells, the phosphorylation of signaling pathways, including MAPK, NF-κB, STAT, and AKT/PKB, increased but was decreased by isoscopoletin. In PMA/ionomycin-treated RBL-2H3 cells, the activation of signaling pathways including PKC, MAPK, and AP-1 increased but was decreased by isoscopoletin. In summary, isoscopoletin reduced the production of inflammatory mediators by regulating upstream transcription factors in TNF-α/IFN-γ-treated HaCaT cells and PMA/ionomycin-treated RBL-2H3 cells. Therefore, we suggest that isoscopoletin has the potential for a therapeutic effect, particularly in skin inflammatory diseases such as AD, by targeting keratinocytes and basophils.

Chronic exposure to harmful pollutants, chemicals, and pathogens from the environment can lead to pathological changes in the epithelial barrier, which increase the risk of developing an allergy. During allergic inflammation, epithelial cells send proinflammatory signals to group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2s) and eosinophils, which require energy and resources to mediate their activation, cytokine/chemokine secretion, and mobilization of other cells. This review aims to provide an overview of the metabolic regulation in allergic asthma, atopic dermatitis (AD), and allergic rhinitis (AR), highlighting its underlying mechanisms and phenotypes, and the potential metabolic regulatory roles of eosinophils and ILC2s. Eosinophils and ILC2s regulate allergic inflammation through lipid mediators, particularly cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) and prostaglandins (PGs). Arachidonic acid (AA)-derived metabolites and Sphinosine-1-phosphate (S1P) are significant metabolic markers that indicate immune dysfunction and epithelial barrier dysfunction in allergy. Notably, eosinophils are promoters of allergic symptoms and exhibit greater metabolic plasticity compared to ILC2s, directly involved in promoting allergic symptoms. Our findings suggest that metabolomic analysis provides insights into the complex interactions between immune cells, epithelial cells, and environmental factors. Potential therapeutic targets have been highlighted to further understand the metabolic regulation of eosinophils and ILC2s in allergy. Future research in metabolomics can facilitate the development of novel diagnostics and therapeutics for future application.
Peptosome: A New Efficient Transfection Tool as an Alternative to Liposome
Authors: Manteghi Maliheh , Can Ozge , Kocagoz Tanil
Published: June 2024

Gene therapy is one of the most promising techniques for treating genetic diseases and cancer. The current most important problem in gene therapy is gene delivery. Viral and non-viral vectors like liposomes, used for gene delivery, have many limitations. We have developed new hybrid peptides by combining cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) with the DNA-binding domain of the human histone H4 protein. These small peptides bind to DNA molecules through their histone domain, leaving the CPP part free and available for binding and penetration into cells, forming complexes that we named “peptosomes”. We evaluated the transfection efficiency of several hybrid peptides by delivering a plasmid carrying the green fluorescent protein gene and following its expression by fluorescent microscopy. Among several hybrid peptides, TM3 achieved a gene delivery efficiency of 76%, compared to 52% for Lipofectamine 2000. TM3 peptosomes may become important gene delivery tools with several advantages over current gene delivery agents.

Published: June 2024

Aiming to address the issues of missing detailed information, the blurring of significant target information, and poor visual effects in current image fusion algorithms, this paper proposes an infrared and visible-light image fusion algorithm based on discrete wavelet transform and convolutional neural networks. Our backbone network is an autoencoder. A DWT layer is embedded in the encoder to optimize frequency-domain feature extraction and prevent information loss, and a bottleneck residual block and a coordinate attention mechanism are introduced to enhance the ability to capture and characterize the low- and high-frequency feature information; an IDWT layer is embedded in the decoder to achieve the feature reconstruction of the fused frequencies; the fusion strategy adopts the l1−norm fusion strategy to integrate the encoder’s output frequency mapping features; a weighted loss containing pixel loss, gradient loss, and structural loss is constructed for optimizing network training. DWT decomposes the image into sub-bands at different scales, including low-frequency sub-bands and high-frequency sub-bands. The low-frequency sub-bands contain the structural information of the image, which corresponds to the important target information, while the high-frequency sub-bands contain the detail information, such as edge and texture information. Through IDWT, the low-frequency sub-bands that contain important target information are synthesized with the high-frequency sub-bands that enhance the details, ensuring that the important target information and texture details are clearly visible in the reconstructed image. The whole process is able to reconstruct the information of different frequency sub-bands back into the image non-destructively, so that the fused image appears natural and harmonious visually. Experimental results on public datasets show that the fusion algorithm performs well according to both subjective and objective evaluation criteria and that the fused image is clearer and contains more scene information, which verifies the effectiveness of the algorithm, and the results of the generalization experiments also show that our network has good generalization ability.

Authors: Miao Weiwei , Zhao Xinjian , Zhang Yinzhao , Chen Shi , Li Xiaochao , Li Qianmu
Published: June 2024

In the development of the Power Industry Internet of Things, the security of data interaction has always been an important challenge. In the power-based blockchain Industrial Internet of Things, node data interaction involves a large amount of sensitive data. In the current anti-leakage strategy for power business data interaction, regular expressions are used to identify sensitive data for matching. This approach is only suitable for simple structured data. For the processing of unstructured data, there is a lack of practical matching strategies. Therefore, this paper proposes a deep learning-based anti-leakage method for power business data interaction, aiming to ensure the security of power business data interaction between the State Grid business platform and third-party platforms. This method combines named entity recognition technologies and comprehensively uses regular expressions and the DeBERTa (Decoding-enhanced BERT with disentangled attention)-BiLSTM (Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory)-CRF (Conditional Random Field) model. This method is based on the DeBERTa (Decoding-enhanced BERT with disentangled attention) model for pre-training feature extraction. It extracts sequence context semantic features through the BiLSTM, and finally obtains the global optimal through the CRF layer tag sequence. Sensitive data matching is performed on interactive structured and unstructured data to identify privacy-sensitive information in the power business. The experimental results show that the F1 score of the proposed method in this paper for identifying sensitive data entities using the CLUENER 2020 dataset reaches 81.26%, which can effectively prevent the risk of power business data leakage and provide innovative solutions for the power industry to ensure data security.

Authors: Xu Jiangchao , Zhang Liyan , Shi Yusheng , Liu Chun
Published: June 2024

Based on the electron-deficient property of picric acid (PA), two neutral Ir(III) complexes 1 and 2 modified with the electron-rich carbazolyl groups were synthesized and characterized. Both 1 and 2 exhibit aggregation-induced phosphorescence emission (AIPE) properties in THF/H2O. Among them, 2 is extremely sensitive for detecting PA with a limit of detection of 0.15 μM in THF/H2O. Furthermore, the selectivity for PA is significantly higher compared to other analytes, enabling the efficient detection of PA in four common water samples. The density functional theory calculations and the spectroscopic results confirm that the sensing mechanism is photo-induced electron transfer (PET).
Healing Function for Abraded Fingerprint Ridges in Tactile Texture Sensors
Authors: Yanwari Muhammad Irwan , Okamoto Shogo
Published: June 2024

Tactile texture sensors are designed to evaluate the sensations felt when a human touches an object. Prior studies have demonstrated the necessity for these sensors to have compliant ridges on their surfaces that mimic human fingerprints. These features enable the simulation of contact phenomena, especially friction and vibration, between human fingertips and objects, enhancing the tactile sensation evaluation. However, the ridges on tactile sensors are susceptible to abrasion damage from repeated use. To date, the healing function of abraded ridges has not been proposed, and its effectiveness needs to be demonstrated. In this study, we investigated whether the signal detection capabilities of a sensor with abraded epidermal ridges could be restored by healing the ridges using polyvinyl chloride plastisol as the sensor material. We developed a prototype tactile sensor with an embedded strain gauge, which was used to repeatedly scan roughness specimens. After more than 1000 measurements, we observed significant deterioration in the sensor’s output signal level. The ridges were then reshaped using a mold with a heating function, allowing the sensor to partially regain its original signal levels. This method shows potential for extending the operational lifespan of tactile texture sensors with compliant ridges.

Published: June 2024

This paper investigates the performance of dual-hop unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted communication channels, employing a decode-and-forward (DF) relay architecture. The system leverages terahertz (THz) communication for the primary hop and visible light communication (VLC) for the secondary hop. We conduct an in-depth analysis by deriving closed-form expressions for the end-to-end (E2E) bit error rate (BER). Additionally, we use a Monte Carlo simulation approach to generate best-fitting curves, validating our analytical expressions. A performance evaluation through BER and outage probability metrics demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed system. Specifically, our results indicate that the proposed system outperforms Free-Space Optics (FSO)-VLC and Radio-Frequency (RF)-VLC at a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The results of this study provide valuable insights into the feasibility and limitations of UAV-assisted THz-VLC communication systems.

Authors: Lyu Haiyang , Zhong Qiqi , Huang Yu , Hua Jianchun , Jiao Donglai
Published: June 2024

Roads play a crucial role in urban transportation by facilitating the movement of materials within a city. The condition of road surfaces, such as damage and road facilities, directly affects traffic flow and influences decisions related to urban transportation maintenance and planning. To gather this information, we propose the Detecting and Clustering Framework for sensing road surface conditions based on crowd-sourced trajectories, utilizing various sensors (GPS, orientation sensors, and accelerometers) found in smartphones. Initially, smartphones are placed randomly during users’ travels on the road to record the road surface conditions. Then, spatial transformations are applied to the accelerometer data based on attitude readings, and heading angles are computed to store movement information. Next, the feature encoding process operates on spatially adjusted accelerations using the wavelet scattering transformation. The resulting encoding results are then input into the designed LSTM neural network to extract bump features of the road surface (BFRSs). Finally, the BFRSs are represented and integrated using the proposed two-stage clustering method, considering distances and directions. Additionally, this procedure is also applied to crowd-sourced trajectories, and the road surface condition is computed and visualized on a map. Moreover, this method can provide valuable insights for urban road maintenance and planning, with significant practical applications.
Preserving Sculptural Heritage in the Era of Digital Transformation: Methods and Challenges of 3D Art Assessment
Authors: Yang Chen , Liu Yang
Published: June 2024

Sustainable digital cultural heritage is now an essential aspect of our lives. The rapid development of 3D technology in the historic preservation industry provides the means of documenting, recovering, and presenting cultural heritage items. However, the digital transformation of 3D sculpture heritage is often led by technology without effective evaluation indicators as a guide. This study compares effective assessment methods for digital forms with traditional art. Our approach uses semantic differential scales and machine learning regression models to assess the importance of fifteen artistic attributes. The semantic differential scale is improved based on 15 artistic attributes and proves to be effective in evaluating the value of digital artwork. This research finds that digital artwork is significantly more popular among young people compared with elderly people, especially for attributes like colour variation, saturation, and texture. The research also finds that complexity and social attributes are more important in predicting the value of the digital 3D model. Digital transformation is a viable method for preserving the artistic value of sculpture and improving cultural sustainability.

Abstract

Biographical works do not contain any information about the life and age of Abu Tahir al-Turaysisī, a Mu'tazilite scholar. The author's extant work titled al-Mutashābih al-Qur'ān is a book of tafsīr on the subject of mutashābih verses and theological issues from a theological perspective. He criticises the Hashwiyya, Rafiza and Batiniyya schools for not accepting the philological method of interpretation of the Qur'an and defends the i'tizalī approach based on reason and linguistic analysis. According to al-Turaysisī, the basic principles that ensure the accuracy of the meaning in the ta’wīl are reason, the Qur'ān, the Sunnah, İjma (consensus) and Arabic language.
Interpretations of the verse are presented to them; the ta’wil that are in accordance with them are accepted, while those that are not are rejected. It is obligatory to submit the ta’wil of verses to the mutawatir news. Turaysisī opposes the ta’wil of verses with ahād reports that contradict reason and verses and are inconsistent.

Günümüzde dünyanın birbirlerine çok uzak diyarlarında lakin birbirlerine çok yakın tavırlar sergileyen, İslam coğrafyasını tek bir potada eritip yekvücut yapan, ortak bir kimlik altında birleştiren yegâne kuvvet, Hz. Peygamber’in ashabı ile yolculuğa başlayan, çağlardan çağlara uygulanarak intikal eden bilgi akışındaki devamlılık ve canlılıktır. Bu bağlamda hayatımızın her zaman ve zeminini çepeçevre saran nebevi tavsiyeler, hangi ırktan olursa olsun ya da hangi lisanı konuşursa konuşsun her dönemde bütün Müslümanların aynı kurallar çerçevesinde hareket etmelerini sağlamıştır. Bu sayede kültür ve medeniyet birliğinin sınırları, hadis/sünnet geleneği sayesinde belirlenmiş olmaktadır. Nitekim Peygamber Efendimiz’in (sav) zamanından itibaren İslam Âlemi için asla vazgeçilmez bir kaynak ve dayanak olarak sünnet, gerek Müslümanların ibadet hayatında ve gerekse sosyal-kültürel-geleneksel dokunun şekillenmesinde büyük rol oynamıştır. Müslüman bir ferdin, tarih, insan ve tabiat tasavvurunda sünnetin oluşturduğu davranış ve fikirler, günlük doğal hayatın hemen hemen her zemininde kendini göstermiştir. Bu sebeple Müslümanların düşüncelerinin ve günlük fiilerinin menşeinde sünnet kültürünün büyük bir etkisinin olduğu görülmektedir. Zira Kadim tarihimizde Müslüman şahsiyeti, ahlakı, sanatı, düşünce ve değerleri genel olarak hep sünnet mirasıyla şekillenmiştir. Buradan hareketle Sünnetin azımsanmayacak bir kısmının, Anadolu kültürünü yansıttığını söylemek mümkündür. Ancak şunu da belirtmek gerekir ki sünneti/hadisleri kültürümüzün bir manzumesi olarak idrak etmek yerine onu, Anadolu kültürünü tesis eden ve şekillendiren mecmualar veya manzumeler bütünü olarak görmek daha doğru olacaktır. Bu yüzden Müslümanların ferdi ve ictimai örf ve adetleri, ananeleri, gelenek ve görenekleri, kültür ve hayat felsefeleri sünnetin/hadislerin yapıcı ve dönüştürücü tesirinden asla bağımsız kalmamıştır. İşte biz de bu çalışmamızda, Anadolu kültürünün ve irfan geleneğinin teşekkülünde sünnetin/hadislerin dönüştürücü etkisine ve önemine değinmiş olacağız. Sonrasında kadim kültürümüzde ve irfan medeniyetimizde yine örf, an’ane ve adetlerimiz de mevcut olan söz, fiil ve bazı uygulamaların, sünnet/hadis ikliminden nasıl bir soluk taşıdıklarını şahit olacağız.

Pelacakan Titik Daya Maksimum Algoritma Incremental Conductance pada Photovoltaic Dipasang Paralel dan Seri
Authors: Matalata Hendi , Wustha Johar Leily
Published: June 2024

Photovoltaic (PV) is an environmentally friendly renewable energy source. Photovoltaic when connected directly to the load, the power delivered to the load is not optimal. Therefore it is important to get maximum power from the PV system to increase efficiency. This study presents an MPPT system using the Incremental Conductance (IC) algorithm to analyze PV systems installed in parallel and installed in series using 3 PVs. This IC algorithm works by monitoring the current gradient to determine the direction of voltage change and providing a change in derivative voltage so that it can determine the speed of delivery. From the results of the study, the average power using 3 PVs installed in series was 95.4% and using 3 PVs installed in parallel was 88.44%. The algorithm (IC) has a faster response in tracking the maximum power point when installed in parallel even though its efficiency is lower. However, current variations when there are changes in solar radiation tend to be constant as long as the temperature conditions are close to stable.

Las hernias inguinales son causa común de dolor inguinal y de consulta al servicio de emergencias. Su reparación es uno de los procedimientos quirúrgicos más realizados. Se clasifican según su característica anatómica en indirectas o directas.  Además, tras la anamnesis y exploración física, se pueden catalogar según la escala de Nyhus. Su etiopatogenia se ha descrito multifactorial, ya que se presenta por alteraciones en genes y fibras de colágeno, músculo liso, persistencia de proceso vaginalis, síndromes genéticos y factores ambientales. El diagnóstico es fundamentalmente clínico, aunque si no está claro, el estudio de primera línea es el US. Si persiste la duda, se apoya con imágenes de TAC o resonancia magnética. Debido a la menor incidencia de complicaciones documentada por vía laparoscópica, esta es la vía de elección cuando hay sintomatología. A pesar de esto, la técnica abierta de Lichtenstein continúa siendo utilizada en diversos centros. En pacientes asintomáticos se debe establecer, idealmente, una adecuada relación médico-paciente para ofrecer con detalle riesgo/beneficio y llegar a una decisión conjunta.

Una vez que el departamento o miembros de la brigada de salud ocupacional de una empresa detecten un posible caso de ataque de pánico se debe seguir con un protocolo establecido según los alcances del consultorio de medicina laboral y valorar en orden los alineamientos de atención. La adaptación laboral a consecuencia de la pandemia (COVID-19) evidenció el aumento en casos de crisis de pánico en el ambiente laboral, mostrando la necesidad de un abordaje multidisciplinario en el cual se involucren diferentes partes de apoyo al trabajador, como lo es la asistencia de los diferentes miembros de las brigadas institucionales para intervenir de manera temprana en la detección de crisis y ataques de pánico.
Obtención de carbón activado a partir del bagazo de caña, para su uso en la remoción de los fármacos diclofenaco y amoxicilina en aguas residuales
Authors: Jaén Jiménez Jean Carlo , Zamora Umaña Guilherme Jesús
Published: June 2024

La obtención de carbón activado se basa en dos procesos fundamentales: la carbonización de la materia prima y la posterior activación del producto que puede ser realizada de manera física o química.  Costa Rica es un país que presenta una alta producción agrícola, como consecuencia genera grandes cantidades de desechos, entre ellos los desechos lignocelulósicos de diferentes tipos de cultivos. En este contexto se propone aprovechar estos desechos para la producción de carbonos activados con el fin de remover fármacos en diferentes matrices. El objetivo es  evaluar la eficiencia de remoción de los fármacos diclofenaco y amoxicilina utilizando carbón activado  a partir de desechos de bagazo de la industria azucarera.
 
Para la síntesis de carbón activado (CA) se realizó la recolección de la muestra de bagazo de caña, procedente del ingenio azucarero Taboga. La muestra se secó en horno de convección a 40°C durante una semana y se realizó la disminución del tamaño de partícula con molino de cuchilla, para su posterior activación. La carbonización y activación del material se realizó mediante la activación por microondas en un paso, bajo atmósfera inerte con corriente de nitrógeno.  Fue utilizado ácido fosfórico (H3PO4) con el fin de analizar el efecto de este en la activación y capacidad de adsorción del CA. Para determinar las características del CA se aplicaron las pruebas de porcentaje de humedad, porcentaje de cenizas, porcentaje de material volátil y determinación del número de yodo. Finalmente, para la cuantificación de la remoción de fármaco se utilizó la metodología estándar para la determinación de la capacidad de absorción del carbono activado por la técnica de isoterma en fase acuosa (5).
De acuerdo con los resultados, se determinó la concentración de ácido fosfórico (H3PO4) que generaba los mejores porcentajes de absorción, pudiendo observar que sí existe una diferencia en la cantidad de adsorción en función de la concentración del activante. Con respecto a la adsorción del diclofenaco, en el presente trabajo, se obtuvo un valor de 138 mg/g, comparado con otras fuentes de información se concluye que el activante químico es la principal variante para obtener una mayor adsorción del fármaco. Para el caso de la adsorción de amoxicilina se obtuvieron valores de 13,16 mg/g y 45,45 mg/g para el CA sintetizado y el comercial respectivamente.
En resumen, el carbón activado a partir de bagazo de caña se presenta como un adsorbente obtenido de una biomasa agrícola de bajo costo, que es prometedor para su aplicación en el control de la contaminación del agua por fármacos y presenta una economía muy valiosa con beneficios para el medio ambiente.

La diversificación y territorialización de las escuelas secundarias en una ciudad pampeana: un proceso desigual
Authors: Baigorria María Silvina
Published: June 2024

Este artículo presenta una caracterización dinámica de la estructura de la educación  secundaria en una ciudad pampeana de Argentina. Nos interesa abordar el proceso de creación de escuelas en el juego de tensiones entre la progresiva expansión y diversificación con la matriz selectiva que tuvo la escuela secundaria desde sus orígenes. Para ello diferenciamos dos dimensiones, la territorialización y la conformación de los circuitos privado y público. En un primer momento se presenta el proceso de expansión a partir de la creación de escuelas en los diferentes períodos históricos concebidos según criterios económico-sociales y políticos. En un segundo momento se analiza su ubicación en el espacio urbano y los posibles “efectos de lugar” (Bourdieu, 2003), dimensión configurante de la fragmentación educativa. Por último se discuten algunas implicancias de dicho proceso extenso en torno al problema de investigación más amplio que enfoca el estudio de las desigualdades socioeducativas a partir de los circuitos escolares que transitan los y las  estudiantes de una ciudad pampeana.

The constraint faced by farmers in Wolowae Sub-district is the lack of water availability during the dry season. One of the efforts to increase agricultural productivity in drylands is to develop water-saving irrigation technology (drip irrigation), on land with limited water sources. Adopting an agricultural technology will certainly require additional costs in the production process. This study aims to determine: (1) the productivity of chili farming before and after using drip irrigation technology (2) the difference in chili farming income before and after using drip irrigation technology and (3) the feasibility of chili farming that applies drip irrigation technology. This research was conducted in Anakoli Village and Totomala Village, Wolowae District, Nagekeo Regency in May and June 2023. The research location was determined by purposive sampling. The determination of the sample in this study was carried out using the simple random sampling method with a sample size of 78 people determined using the Isaac and Michael formula. The data collection method in this study is a survey method by collecting primary data and secondary data. The collected data were analyzed descriptively and a simple statistical test was carried out, namely the Paired sample T-test (t test). The results showed that (1) the productivity of chili farms after using drip irrigation technology is higher than before using drip irrigation technology (4 tons / ha) (2) there is a significant difference in income on chili farms before and after using drip irrigation technology (0.006 <0.05) and (3) R / C ratio shows that the value of R / C> 1 so that chili farms using drip irrigation technology are feasible to cultivate R / C (5.03).
La alergia y el tractus digestivo

Las colitis de etiología no determinada entre las que se encuentran las llamadas colitis mucosas banales y las colitis ulcerativas crónicas no específicas, son amplio campo de discusión, sobre todo las últimas mencionadas, en que médico y cirujano se disputan las formas de tratamiento y en las que, más que en ninguna otra afección, la cirugía significa el fracaso médico. Las enfermedades crónicas, rebeldes a tratamiento, se han enfocado, guiándose por la estadística o el entusiasmo desde puntos de vista particulares, abandonadas una forma de tratamiento para seguir otra, un concepto por otro nuevo, dividiéndose los investigadores en escuelas que tratan de negar, por lo general lo de las otras. Tal es lo que sucede precisamente en estas afecciones inflamatorias del tracto digestivo, altamente complejas, no solamente por su etiología y las interpretaciones que se le han dado, sino por las complejidades de sus manifestaciones y su extensa repercusión sobre el organismo general.
Transfusión y plasmoterapia en pediatría

La idea de transfundir, o sea inyectar por venoclisis sangre ajena, con el propósito de sustituir pérdidas ocurridas, o sangre enferma por sana, o sangre vieja por Joven, así como de proporcionar a través de este procedimiento salud y juventud, es antiquísima y sus principios llegan a una remota antigüedad.- Ovidio nos refiere como Medea introdujo en los vasos de su suegro Anquises, sangre de animal con el propósito de rejuvenecerle.- En el siglo XVII y XVIII dicha idea comenzó a aplicarse con mayor intensidad. Sin embargo nunca llegaron en esa época a realizar verdaderas transfusiones como las actuales, dado que tropezaron siempre y hasta Landsteiner en 1901, con los inconvenientes ignorados y hasta entonces insalvables de las isohemolisinas y aglutininas.- Posteriores y actuales investigaciones hacen de la transfusión de sangre total o de plasma, un procedimiento terapéutico de alta jerarquía, en la cual deben encontrarse reunidas investigaciones de laboratorio, e idoneidad por parte de quien la realiza, como podremos apreciar en el transcurso de nuestra exposición
DIGITALIZATION OF POLITICS AND ELECTRONIC VOTING: FEATURES AND NATIONAL EXPERIENCE
Authors: Efanova E.V.
Published: June 2024

Digitalization of politics is determined not only by the technological capabilities and accessibility of digital benefits for the general population, but also by the interests and goals of political actors, elites and states. The result of digitalization of politics is e-government. The Anglo-American e-government model is based on the idea of universality and serviceability of public service provision. The Asian model of e-government is associated with a multi-level structure of the state apparatus and meeting the information needs of citizens. The continental-European model of e-government is based on the principles of democracy, openness and protection of personal data. The Russian model of e-government seeks to improve the quality of relations between society and the state, as well as to improve the quality of public service provision. A key form of policy digitalization is electronic voting, which is based on blockchain technology. For the first time, e-voting was implemented in the United States and in European countries (Estonia). In 2000, electronic voting was first implemented in Russia, and currently two types of electronic voting are used: remote electronic voting and a ballot processing complex at polling stations. Digitalization of politics opens up new opportunities and horizons for interaction between public and state structures. Digital technologies in politics can make political participation more accessible, increase competition and reduce the level of political absenteeism.
