Almond Skin Polyphenol Extracts Stimulate the Activation of Diacylglycerol Kinase alpha via a 67 kDa Laminin Receptor
Authors: Chinthammit Boonyaporn , Okamoto Seika , Shirai Yasuhito
Published: April 2022

Background: Almond skins are the byproduct of the almond industry that are rich in dietary fibers and polyphenols. Recently, there has been an increasing interest in utilizing the phenolic compounds from almond skins for their functional benefits. Galloylated catechins activate diacylglycerol kinase α (DGKα) which is involved in the amelioration of diabetic nephropathy. Therefore, in this study, we investigated whether almond skin polyphenol extracts can also induce the activation of DGKα. Methods: Phenolic contents in the almond skin polyphenol extracts were identified by liquid chromatography (LC)-time of flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS). Using confocal microscopy, the translocation of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-DGKα to the cell membrane was observed upon stimulation with almond skin polyphenol extracts. To check the involvement of 67 kDa laminin receptor (67LR), pre-treatment of anti-67LR antibody was used.Results: We identified that naringenin and flavanone (2,3-dihydroflavone), which are among the phenolic contents in the almond skin polyphenol extracts identified, can also induce the activation of DGKα. In addition, we also investigated whether the pathway involves the same receptor as that of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCg); the 67LR. Naringenin stimulated through the 67LR, while flavanone mainly used the 67LR-independent pathways.Conclusion: These findings were additional function of almond skin polyphenol extracts and may implicate the benefits of the intake of nuts in daily diets. Polyphenols can be extracted from almond skins as an inexpensive source. The various health benefits of polyphenols can be applied to functional foods and supplements.Keywords: flavonoid, lipid kinase, imaging, catechin, vitamin E, diabetic nephropathy
Kinderschutz in Zeiten von Corona – Informelle Angebote und niederschwellige ambulante Hilfen während der Pandemie
Authors: Witte Susanne , Kindler Heinz
Published: April 2022

Im Rahmen des Projektes Kinderschutz in Zeiten von Corona (KiZCo) wurden seit März 2020 Gruppenleitungen des Allgemeinen Sozialen Dienstes aus 40 Jugendämtern zu ihrer Arbeit mit Familien befragt. Die Befragung erfolgte zu zwei Zeitpunkten anhand eines leitfadengestützten Telefoninterviews zur Ausgestaltung des Kinderschutzhandelns im Rahmen der Corona-Pandemie. Die Fachkräfte berichteten von Herausforderungen in dem Zugang und in der Kontaktaufnahme mit Familien im Rahmen der Maßnahmen zum Infektionsschutz. In einigen Kommunen wurden in der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe neue niederschwellige Angebote eingerichtet, die zum Teil der erleichterten Kontaktaufnahme dienten, zum anderen Teil spezifische Bedarfe der Familien aufgriffen, die erst durch die Corona-Pandemie in den Vordergrund gerückt waren. Insbesondere in der zweiten Befragungswelle wird jedoch deutlich, dass in der Mehrzahl der Kommunen keine neuen niederschwelligen Angebote etabliert wurden, sondern bereits bestehende Angebote im Hinblick auf die Maßnahmen zum Infektionsschutz angepasst wurden.
LncRNA HEIH/miR-4500/IGF2BP1/c-Myc Feedback Loop Accelerates Bladder Cancer Cell Growth and Stemness
Authors: Guo Baowei , Zhao Dan , Feng Jiao , Liu Yanmei
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND:

Bladder cancer (BCa) is one of the most prevalent malignancies and more common in men. An aberrantly expressed long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) hepatocellular carcinoma up-regulated EZH2-associated lncRNA (HEIH) has been reported to be implicated in the progression of many cancers, but its role in BCa remains little known. Our study intended to uncover whether and how HEIH regulates BCa progression.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was adopted to determine HEIH expression in BCa cell lines. Functional experiments were performed to examine the effects of HEIH on BCa cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion and stemness. Bioinformatics analysis and mechanism experiments were conducted to investigate the regulatory relationship between HEIH and related molecules in BCa.

RESULTS:

HEIH expression was observed to be significantly increased in BCa cell lines. HEIH depletion significantly hindered BCa cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Besides, HEIH up-regulated MYC proto-oncogene, and bHLH transcription factor (c-Myc) expression to promote BCa cell stemness. Moreover, HEIH served as a sponge for miR-4500 to modulate insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) expression, thereby stabilizing c-Myc mRNA level.

CONCLUSION:

Our study demonstrated a positive feedback loop of HEIH/miR-4500/IGF2BP1/c-Myc in BCa progression, offering a novel insight into a possible BCa therapy.
Effectiveness of a wearable ankle-tubing gait training on ankle kinematics and motor control in hemiparetic stroke
Authors: Lee Jeong Jae , Park Chanhee , You Joshua (Sung) H.
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND: While excessive ankle plantarflexion is a common neuromuscular impairment resulting from insufficient coordination of selective ankle neuromotor control and kinematics during gait. We recently developed a wearable, inexpensive and sustainable wearable ankle-tubing gait training (WAGT) aimed at improving selective ankle motor control and kinematic coordination. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the effects of WAGT on tibialis anterior (TA) and gastrocnemius (GCM) muscle electromyography (EMG) activity, TA: GCM muscle imbalance ratio, and ankle joint kinematics during gait in hemiparetic stroke patients. METHODS: A convenience sample of 33 participants (15 non-stroke healthy adults and 18 hemiparetic stroke patients) underwent standardized electromyography and kinematic biomechanical tests under conventional gait training (CGT) and WAGT conditions. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the significance of differences in the TA: GCM muscle activation, muscle imbalance ratio, and ankle joint kinematics before and after the intervention and between the two groups at P < 0.05. RESULTS: WAGT was more effective than CGT in improving TA muscle activation (P < 0.01), TA: GCM muscle imbalance ratio (P < 0.01), and kinematic movement (P < 0.01) in adults with or without hemiparetic stroke. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that WAGT is relatively ease to design, wear and affordable to most clinicians and patients, hence it is suitable for many health care applications to correct gait-related movement abnormalities presented in the hemiparetic stroke patients.
A Solar Disinfection Water Treatment System for Rural Areas / Jordan
Authors: Smadi Yasmeen , Alsood Emad , Aljaradin Mohammad
Published: April 2022

The present study was conducted to assess the efficiency of solar energy in treating any potential pollution of drinking water in dam lakes caused by human activity in rural areas. The water quality parameters include temperature, pH, conductivity, total suspended solids, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, NH4-N, NO3-N, HCO3, Cl-, Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+, SAR, B, K+, SO42-, and E-coli were monitored. Samples was collected during the summer and winter (during the filling period). The results showed a rapid decrease in microbial counts upon exposure to solar radiation. More than 98% reductions were achieved after 8 hours for the bacterial communities tested under different conditions. The rate of inactivation, however, varied and was mainly affected by water turbidity and temperature during the experiments. The results indicated that turbidity affected the efficiency of water disinfection, and the efficiency improves with longer exposure duration, implying that in high turbidity and severe weather conditions, exposure time must be increased to compensate for the effects of these factors. The water in the system should be exposed to at least eight hours before leaving to the storage tanks. When scaled up, the proposed method could be a vital tool in solar water disinfection technologies, particularly in isolated and rural locations. Using solar energy to disinfect polluted water will certainly reduce the usage of chlorination and or filtration in water treatment, reducing treatment costs while also protecting the environment.

Published: April 2022

Covid19 pandemic has changed the education system. Almost all educational institutions reduced face to face learning and applied online learning. The Indonesian government supports this system by providing internet credit subsidies to students and teachers. It triggers students to often use gadgets such as learning, playing online games, or browsing internet sites. One of the impacts of this pandemic period is the process of English Language Acquisition in children. The purpose of this study was to determine the process of acquiring English vocabulary and kinds of English vocabulary in children aged around 9-11 years. The researchers applied descriptive qualitative study by involving three participants aged 9,10,11 year old. To get more valid data, researchers observed participant activities, especially how their English vocabulary was obtained and the English vocabulary was what they produced. In addition to deepening data, researchers also conducted semi-structural interviews to participants. Interviews were also carried out to determine the extent to which they understood the English vocabulary they produced. The results showed that there were several ways children to obtain English vocabulary during Covid 19 pandemic, imitating someone's words, hearing or reading from online games, listening to music, watching television, and reading vocabulary on food wrap. The types of English vocabulary they get are nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. It can be concluded that children acquired English vocabularies during the Covid 19 pandemic which is one of the consequences of the use of gadgets that must be for learning activities. However, there are some English vocabularies that are still taboo for them. The results of this study are expected to increase parents' awareness in overseeing the use of gadgets for children because not all English vocabulary they get is in accordance with Indonesian culture.

ENSAIO SOBRE AS ORIGENS DO LIBERALISMO E IMPLICAÇÕES PARA O DESENVOLVIMENTO SUSTENTÁVEL
Authors: Vieira Dias Guilherme
Published: April 2022

Diante da emergência de diversos problemas socioambientais provocados pelo modo como produzimos riqueza no âmbito do capitalismo, intensificou-se nos últimos 50 anos o debate público e os esforços para conciliar o crescimento econômico com noções de justiça social e prudência ecológica, consolidando-se a noção de desenvolvimento sustentável. Os objetivos do desenvolvimento sustentável não têm sido alcançados pela via da auto-regulação do mercado, sendo demandada a participação dos Estados de diversas formas. Argumenta-se no presente ensaio que há duas tradições liberais: a) o liberalismo social, que reconhece a existência de imperfeições e falhas no mercado, admitindo que o Estado pode agir no sentido de minimizar ou solucionar tais falhas que não seriam resolvidas pela auto-regulação do mercado; b) o liberalismo reacionário, que não admite a possibilidade do mercado ter imperfeições e falhas e, consequentemente, rejeita a ideia de que o mercado precisa do Estado para corrigir o que quer que seja. O presente ensaio pretende debater as possibilidades do liberalismo contribuir com as pautas do desenvolvimento sustentável, a partir do resgate de contribuições dos pais fundadores e considerações sobre as diferenças entre as duas tradições liberais.

Objective: To characterize the producers and the dairy cattle value network in the municipality of Xico, Veracruz, Mexico, through interviews with key actors with the aim of analyzing the problem and identifying areas of opportunity that improve the competitiveness of ranchers.
Design/methodology/approach: Interviews were conducted with n=30 ranchers selected by targeted and snowball sampling. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with key actors. The documentary information was reviewed, resulting in the identification of the profile of the producers and the structure of the value network.
Results: Dairy producers in Xico are the third generation devoted to this activity. They are small- (83%) and medium-sized (17%) ranchers. They are 56.0 ± 12.1 years old and have 30.0 ± 15.1 years of experience. They have 55.0 ± 33.8 animals and produce 241 ± 156.8 L day-1. Fifty-seven percent have mechanical milking and cooling equipment. They sell their product to Nestlé and Liconsa, regional cheese factories, and directly to consumers within the municipality. The producers constantly interact with the Asociación Ganadera Local de Xico (AGLX) for matters related to cattle management and input purchase.
Limitations/implications: If the regional activity is to be maintained, the generational replacement must be prepared.
Findings/Conclusions: The producers have the experience, calling, resources, and infrastructure to produce and sell milk, mainly to Nestlé and Liconsa. The AGLX is the hub of the network and can promote dairy activity to generate benefits for the actors of the value chain and network.

Results: The highest AChE activity occurred in the brain (p=0.00001), CAT activity in liver (p=0.00001), and GST activity in liver and brain (p=0.001).
Study limitations/implications: To evaluate the effect of pesticides on wild birds, a larger number of individuals is required in different agricultural areas.
Findings/conclusions: In the tissues of Z. asiatica from agricultural areas, greater activity of the biomarkers AChE, CAT, and GST was found, reflecting the excessive use of pesticides.

Objective: To assess malnutrition in elementary education students from four rural schools in the municipality of Paso de Ovejas, Veracruz, Mexico.
Methodology: The study is based on the participatory action research process (PAR), a descriptive, analytical, non-experimental, and cross-sectional methodology. The body mass index (BMI) of 617 children and teenagers was measured through an anthropometric assessment. To determine malnutrition, the 2007 World Health Organization report which measures BMI according to gender and age was taken as reference.
Results: Forty-seven percent of the students have a normal nutritional status. Among the rest of the student population, the problem of malnutrition is prevalent, with 43% being overweight or obese. Malnutrition in its three levels (mild, moderate, and severe) had an impact on 10% of the population, with girls being the most frequently affected.
Implication: The study does not present dietary surveys nor students’ medical histories. Still, anthropometry is a method validated by WHO.
Findings: Nutritional problems —such as overweight, obesity, and malnutrition— were observed in 53% of the students. Therefore, it is necessary to implement strategies that follow a participatory model and to develop a nutritional education program based on the “territorial food system”. This will foster respect for the local culture and encourage the co-design of school and/or family kitchen gardens through agro-ecopedagogy.

Objective: To evaluate two different heights (50 and 70 cm) and pruning frequencies (60 and 135 days) in Moringa oleifera and Leucaena leucocephala in a developing silvopastoral system.
Design/methodology/approach: Four treatments were established: T1=Moringa oleifera with pruning at 50 cm; T2=Moringa oleifera with pruning at 70 cm; T3=Leucaena leucocephala with pruning at 50 cm; and T4=Leucaena leucocephala with pruning at 70 cm. In all cases, pruning frequencies were 60 and 135 days. The number of sprouts, diameter, and length of the largest sprout, as well as the amount of biomass, were recorded. A mixed model, variance analysis, and Tukey's test were used to analyze the data.
Results: The number of regrowths for L. leucocephala was higher than for M. oleifera. Treatment T2 had the highest performance at day 60; in the case of L. leucocephala, performance was similar between pruning frequencies. For T2, diameter and length were larger at both frequencies; for T3, at 60 days; and for T4, at 135 days. Biomass was higher for M. oleifera than for L. leucocephala, while pruning at 70 cm was better than at 50 cm. Pruning at 135 days produced a higher biomass than at 60 days. For T2, biomass was higher at 60 days, while for T1 and T4, it was higher at 135 days.
Study limitations/implications: Forage species, as well as pruning frequencies and heights, determine tree growth potential and the amount of biomass available for animals.
Findings/conclusions: The agronomic performance of Leucaena leucocephala has a better response to pruning, regardless of pruning height and frequency, in a silvopastoral system.
Wiñay, diseño para la enseñanza de historia del Perú y la generación de identidad
Authors: Arias-Mego Andrea , Vivanco Alvarez Rafael
Published: April 2022

l presente estudio analiza la relación del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de la historia del Perú con la construcción de identidad peruana, entendiendo que debe reforzarse en el hogar desde temprana edad más allá de lo que la escuela pueda fomentar. El proyecto wiñay.pe consiste en el diseño de un portal educativo que contiene una serie de elementos visuales que permiten el conocimiento de la historia del Perú y nace en consideración de las características del público al que va dirigido: niños del quinto grado de primaria en una escuela privada de la ciudad de Lima, quienes, al ser nativos digitales, requieren de innovaciones y del uso de recursos tecnológicos que permitan captar y mantener su atención en el mensaje. El artículo muestra el desarrollo alcanzado por este proyecto que consistió en el diseño y la ilustración de personajes emblemáticos de la historia peruana contando los hechos históricos del Perú en una animación 2D, así como en la presentación de material didáctico auxiliar, como un juego de mesa y unas láminas didácticas a manera de soporte y ayuda en las clases de historia.
Registro cromático de textiles precolombinos de la costa sur del Perú para fortalecer el desarrollo de proyectos de diseño y arqueología
Authors: Munive Loza Leila Susan
Published: April 2022

Este artículo narra la importancia del color como “rasgo identitario” y componente fundamental en la comunicación visual, considerando que la identidad de algunas culturas tiene sus raíces en los colores que han distinguido su arte a través de la historia. Los esfuerzos del ser humano por organizar el vasto conjunto de colores que distinguimos nacen desde Aristóteles y continúan hasta la actualidad con los catálogos de color Munsell y Pantone. Sin embargo, los colores propios de las culturas peruanas no están identificadas con precisión en dichos patrones, además de que, en Perú, no es común contar con un sistema propio de identificación de colores. No existe un registro cromático de los textiles precolombinos ni una gama de colores que los identifique como cultura en el mundo y que facilite su uso en proyectos que necesiten comunicar identidad. Los arqueólogos del área textil de algunos museos en Perú no contaban con una descripción de color exacta al momento del registro y conservación de textiles. Así es como se diseña Perú a Color, un registro cromático de textiles precolombinos de la costa sur del Perú que servirá como una herramienta para fortalecer la identidad cultural en proyectos de diseño, arqueología, arquitectura y otras disciplinas relacionadas.
Residuos en los procesos de producción de la industria de artes gráficas en la impresión de gran formato. El caso de Riobamba, Ecuador
Authors: Oleas-Orozco Jose
Published: April 2022

Los procesos de producción en la industria de artes gráficas son variados, de la misma forma que los residuos que estos producen. En años recientes, las ciudades grandes y medianas en el escenario ecuatoriano han tenido un considerable crecimiento de esta industria, específicamente en la forma de plóter de impresión de gran formato. Este crecimiento ha implicado no sólo la producción creciente en los servicios de las artes gráficas, sino también un impacto ambiental, puesto que, por sus características, genera varios residuos. El presente estudio analiza los procesos de producción de los centros de impresión y los residuos tanto inorgánicos como químicos que resultan de su actividad. La pesquisa realizada es de nivel exploratorio, y fue ejecutada mediante un muestreo de casos tipo en cuatro imprentas de gran formato de la ciudad de Riobamba, entre los meses de febrero y abril de 2021. De la misma manera, se utilizó la técnica observación no participante para documentar de manera objetiva los procesos de producción e identificar las etapas de generación de residuos. Desde el enfoque cualitativo, mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas, se consultó a los propietarios y operarios de los centros de impresión acerca de la gestión y del tratamiento de los desechos producidos. En los resultados se pudieron contrastar datos que sugieren vacíos en las normativas y la necesidad de acciones para mitigar el impacto de estos desechos.
Diseño gráfico, transmedialidad e identidad: Frida Kahlo en los objetos de consumo popular
Authors: Anaya Wittman Sofía
Published: April 2022

Este trabajo presenta algunas reflexiones sobre los efectos de la producción masiva de objetos de consumo popular relacionados con Frida Kahlo como ícono. Vemos al diseño gráfico como herramienta capaz de proporcionar estatus, prestigio o identidad, que en este caso trasciende la mexicanidad y se extiende al ámbito global. El proceso se analiza a partir de los conceptos transtextualidad, transculturalidad y transmedialidad, los cuales permiten identificar la inserción del ícono en todos los medios actuales de comunicación, así como su adaptación a diversas culturas. Se destaca la importancia del diseño gráfico como promotor de identidad, para lo cual se recurre a la teoría del imaginario y de los discursos canónicos que otorgan el sentido de pertenencia. El tema es extenso, así que se exponen únicamente algunas consideraciones al respecto.
Narrativa gráfica y hermenéutica. Hacia una interpretación y comprensión de las imágenes que narran
Authors: Lonna Olvera Ivonne
Published: April 2022

Desarrollar un proceso hermenéutico para comprender las imágenes de obras de narrativas gráficas e interrelacionar los conceptos de la hermenéutica y la literatura con el diseño gráfico son los objetivos del presente artículo.

 

La metodología empleada tiende puentes entre los elementos básicos de la comunicación visual, el análisis literario y la hermenéutica en tanto los lectores de narrativas gráficas —cómics, novelas gráficas, libros álbum, fotolibros y animaciones—, caen en inmersión por las imágenes y se preguntan qué hay en ellas. Los hallazgos de esta investigación nutren la teoría del diseño en tanto los modelos literarios actuales son eclécticos y complejos.

 

Los lectores interpretan lo que leen en imágenes desde sus propios esquemas de sentido para descifrar el juego de significados que estás guardan; lo que implica más allá de percepción, un proceso de raciocinio, por lo que desdoblar disciplinas para comprender obras cuyas imágenes no ilustran textos, sino las que narran, explica la fuerza de la visualidad en la literatura contemporánea y apunta a la originalidad de este tipo de investigaciones.

 

Como conclusión se apunta hacia la importancia de un proceso hermenéutico para la comprensión de narrativas gráficas, terreno ganado en la literatura por los diseñadores.

COVID-19 is a pandemic and life-threatening respiratory disease. Chronic kidney disease is a probable risk factor for more severe COVID-19, but outcomes in the peritoneal dialysis population are scarce. We analyzed our peritoneal dialysis center COVID-19 cases from March 2020 to January 2021, before full vaccination with the Pfizer BNT 162b2 mRNA vaccine in February 2021. There were 13 cases of COVID-19 out of 96 patients on peritoneal dialysis (cumulative incidence 13,5 cases per 1000 patients-month). Nine were considered mild (76,9%), two moderate (15,4%) and one severe/critical (7,7%). There was one asymptomatic case. The most common presenting signs and symptoms were myalgia, cough, fever, asthenia, hypotension, and loss of smell and/or taste. Only one patient required oxygen in the ICU. There was a hospitalization rate of 30,8% (three mild and one severe/critical) and a median time of hospitalization until discharge, or death, of 6 days. The most common reason for hospitalization was hypotension and asthenia, without respiratory failure (three mild out of four hospitalizations). One patient died (7,7%) and 12 patients recovered well (92,3%). Of eleven patients presenting with COVID-19 symptoms, nine reported persisting symptoms for over one month (81,8%). In conclusion, COVID-19 in patients under peritoneal dialysis had a relatively benign course with symptoms mainly unrelated to the respiratory tract.
