A methodology for gathering and annotating the raw-data/characteristics of the documents citing a retracted article v2
Authors: Heibi Ivan
Published: January 2022

Giving a retracted article, we present a step-by-step methodology for gathering the raw-data of the documents which have cited such article (starting from the date of its publication) and annotating the metadata and features for such citing entities. The external services used for our purpose are all free and open. The methodology uses three external services: (a) OpenCitations COCI (http://opencitations.net/index/coci, used to retrieve citation data), (b) RetractionWatch database (http://retractiondatabase.org, used to retrieve information of retracted articles), and (c) SCImago (https://www.scimagojr.com/, to retrieve subject areas and subject categories of publications). The methodology is divided into five steps: (1) identifying and retrieving the citing entities, (2) retrieving the citing entities characteristics, (3) classifying the citing entities according to subject areas and subject categories, (4) extracting textual values from the citing entities, and (5) annotating the in-text citations characteristics. The application of this methodology produces a dataset containing all the citing entities and their annotated data/features. Starting from an empty dataset, each step of the methodology (from 1 to 5) enriches it with new variables.
The effects of ginger and black seed extracts on albino rat spermatogenesis induced with hyperuricemia
Authors: Hussein Ridha
Published: January 2022

Both ginger and black seed are promising nutraceutical natural plant products with reported diverse therapeutic properties. However, there is limited research on their effects on spermatogenesis in animals, especially rats. Thus, the current manuscript investigates the role of ginger and black seed on male albino rats regarding testicular function and spermatogenesis capacity. For this purpose, 24 animals were divided into 6 groups; each group was induced experimentally with hyperuricemia using intraperitoneal injections of oxonic acid for 1 week, except the first group that was used as a negative control group and received intraperitoneal injection of 0.9% saline solution without any further treatment. Then, the second group acted as hyperuricemia control rats and not received any treatment. In contrast, the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth groups were treated daily with ginger extract, black seed extract, allopurinol (control positive), and a mixture of ginger + black seed extract, respectively. Results demonstrated that ginger administered orally to rats at a dose of 25 mg/kg was superior to the administration of black seed extract and a mixture of both of them, particularly in enhancing the percentage of spermatozoa normalization, normalization of serum sexual hormones (testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicular stimulating (FSH)) level, as well as normalization of oxidative parameters (GPX, SOD, and CAT) and improving histopathological alterations. In conclusion, I realized that supplementation of ginger extract to hyperuricemia rats for two weeks was significantly (P < 0.05) normalized the majority of abnormalities in the male reproductive system induced by hyperuricemia.
Synthesis, characterization and biological activity of new mixed-ligand divalent metal complexes derived from 1,3,4-thiadiazole Schiff base and 2,2′‐bipyridine
Authors: Hassan Hanar , Tofiq Diary
Published: January 2022

New mixed-ligand complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Pt(II) and Pd(II) transition metals were synthesized from a Schiff base 5-((Z)-((E)-3-phenylallylidene)amino)-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol obtained by the condensation reaction between cinnamaldehyde and 5-amino-1, 3, 4-thiadiazol-2-thiol as a primary ligand (LH1) and the heterocyclic base   2,2′‐bipyridine (2,2′-bipy) as a secondary ligand (L2). The prepared ligand and their metal complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity measurement, magnetic susceptibility, infrared (FT-IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), electronic (UV-Vis), mass spectrometry (MS), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and screened in vitro for their potential as biological activity by the agar well diffusion method against Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Gram-Positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) strain. The mixed-ligand complexes were found to have the following formulas [M (L1)(L2)]Y ⋅H2O L1 = Schiff base, L2 = 2,2′-bipy, (M = Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Y=NO3), (M=pd(II), Y=Cl2) and (M= pt(II), Y=Cl) for metallic complexes. L1 acts as a bidentate ligand and coordinates to a metallic ion center through imine nitrogen and a deprotonated sulfur atom. Similarly, L2 acts as a neutral bidentate ligand coordinating to the metallic ions via two nitrogen atoms. The resultant data have shown that the mixed-ligand complexes have an electrolytic nature and Co(II), Pt(II), and Pd(II) metal complexes have square planer structure, as well as tetrahedral geometry, has been proposed for the complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II). Thus, the biological activity data indicated that the Cu(II), Co(II), Zn(II), and Pd(II) complexes have a much higher biological activity than the Schiff base. It was found that the Zn(II) complex was more effective than the other metal complexes used against both types of the bacteria tested.

Authors: Abdulkarim Araz , Muhsin Salwa
Published: January 2022

Background: Major depressive disorder has become one of the most common mental disorders worldwide. Loneliness considers significant psychological distress associated with depression and suicidality. It is important to be detected and interviewed for patient safety.Aim: This study aims to find the prevalence rates the severity levels of loneliness and to identify risk factors among community-based patients with major depressive disorder.Methods: A total of 250 patients with major depressive disorder were recruited from a psychiatric clinic in Ali Kamal Consolation Centre in Sulaimani city included in this cross-sectional study. The data were collected from September 2020 to March 2021 through the utilization of interviews guided by the items of the questionnaire. The ULLA loneliness scale, Beck suicide ideation inventory, Beck depression inventory, sociodemographic, and psychiatric history characteristics were included in the questionnaire. The SPSS version 25 was used for data analysis. Results: All the studied patients with major depressive disorder mean age ± SD was 38.7 ± 12.4 years, 60% of females had a feeling of loneliness. The most significant proportion of the patients had (62.8%) a frequent level of loneliness, with 43.2% mild form of depression and 64.4% had a moderate level of suicidal ideation. It is evident in this study that more than half (51.5%) of patients with suicidal attempts had a feeling of loneliness, which was significantly higher than the rate (27.8%) among those with no history of suicidal attempt (p < 0.0.1).Conclusion: Suicidal Patients with major depressive disorder had experience feelings of loneliness at a frequent level. The severe level of loneliness was a predictor of the severity level of depression and suicidal ideation. Recommendation: Regular evaluation of loneliness and depression can help to detect patients at risk of suicidal behavior and encourage greater social engagement in daily life activities for patients with depression.

Diagnosis and staging of ophthalmic manifestations of the graft-versus-host reaction after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Authors: Chistyakova Natal’ya V.
Published: January 2022

Graft-versus-host reaction is a common complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. This condition develops in approximately 4070% of patients. Its most common clinical manifestations include xerotic keratoconjunctivitis and cicatricial conjunctivitis. It is important to correctly diagnose and classify the ocular condition after surgery. Ocular graft-versus-host reaction can present as either classic acute or chronic form, acute form with late onset or with overlap syndrome. It may lead to severe ocular surface disease, which can significantly decrease the quality of life and restrict daily activities of patients. It is thus important to monitor the ocular condition closely since with early diagnosis of the condition and timely treatment start, risks of irreversible damage could be diminished. This article is dedicated to modern criteria of diagnosis and staging of ocular graft-versus-host reaction.
Influence of the quality of viscoelastic removal on phacoemulsification results. Part 1. Type of the postoperative period course depending on the quality of viscoelastic removal in phacoemulsification
Authors: Egorova Anna V. , Vasiliev Alexey V. , Bai Lina
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: The reasons for the development of postoperative reactive inflammation under optimal conditions for the operation are errors in the surgical technique and the presence of viscoelastic residues. The likelihood of developing ophthalmic hypertension exists with the use of viscoelastic of any type. Its incomplete evacuation can be explained by the difficult visualization due to its transparency. Analysis of the dependence of the postoperative period course on the quality of viscoelastic removal at phacoemulsification can be considered to be relevant and expedient.
AIM: The aim was to study the type of the postoperative period course depending on the quality of viscoelastics removal at phacoemulsification.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 104 eyes of randomly chosen patients who underwent femto-laser assisted phacoemulsification, divided into 2 groups according to ophthalmic viscoelastics characteristics (colored or transparent). Both groups were split into 2 subgroups each depending on method of viscoelastics removal. Tonometry and biomicroscopy were performed 3 hours after phacoemulsification and on the post-op Day 1. Patients with Tyndall effect were examined daily until its disappearance.
RESULTS: At comparable preoperative IOP indices, its elevation 3 hours after surgery took place in subgroups 2a and 2b, the highest being in subgroup 2a. The greatest number of eyes with Tyndall effect, at all follow-up periods, was found in subgroup 2a, the lowest in subgroup 1b. The total number of eyes with keratopathy (as epitheliopathy) observed 3 hours after surgery was 7, four of them being from subgroup 2a.
CONCLUSIONS: The conducted research showed that the type of early postoperative period course of phacoemulsification depends on visualization possibility of the viscoelastic and of the method of its removal. Minimal changes of hydrodynamics and maximal number of eyes with absence of inflammation took place when using colored viscoelastic and impulse irrigation method.

Published: January 2022

In about 30% of cases, Sars-CoV-2 pneumonia is complicated by damage to the cardiovascular system myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, strokes, which are often fatal. There is still little data on the relationship between clinical manifestations and structural changes in the cardiovascular system during a new coronavirus infection. The material for the study was the data of the case histories and autopsies of 185 patients suffering from COVID-19 infection in the period SeptemberDecember 2020. In the deceased patients, a higher percentage of lung tissue damage was recorded on CT data, and a low level of oxygen saturation at the time of hospitalization. Most of the patients had a history of cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and cancer. The pronounced course of systemic immune inflammation was manifested by a high average level of indicators such as D-dimmer, ferritin, C-reactive protein and fibrinogen. Among the causes of death, respiratory failure prevailed against the background of infectious-toxic shock. Damage to the cardiovascular system was manifested by the development of acute myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, stroke. Evaluation of the data of postmortem examination revealed a higher prevalence of stroke and a lower incidence of pulmonary embolism and acute myocardial infarction. In a histological study, damage to the cardiovascular system is represented by direct damage to the myocardium in the form of microcytolysis of cardiomyocytes with the development of necrotic areas. The data obtained from the analysis of the study results allow us to draw conclusions about the relationship between the severity of the course of a new coronavirus infection and the frequency of damage to the cardiovascular system, as well as make assumptions about individual links in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease in COVID-19 (1 figure, 2 tables, bibliography: 10 refs).
Synthesis and characterization of Ti₃SiC₂
Authors:   , El-Raghy Tamer S. , Barsoum Michel W.
Published: January 2022

For the first time, bulk, single phase, fully dense Ti₃SiC₂ samples were fabricated by hot pressing or hot isostatic pressing of Ti, SiC, and C powders. This compound is as readily machinable as graphite, has a Young's modulus of 325 GPa and a hardness of 4 GPa. Its electrical conductivity is 4.5x10^6 [Omega]^-1 m^-1. The thermal expansion coefficient in the temperature range 25 to 1000[degrees]C, the room temperature thermal conductivity, and heat capacity are, respectively, 9.2x10^-6 [degrees]C^-1, 43 W/m. K and 588 J/kg K. By controlling the process, the final grain size fabricated was fine (3-5 [mu]m) or coarse (100-200 [mu]m). For both microstructures the failure is brittle at room temperature, but above 1200[degrees]C the failure is ductile. At 1300[degrees]C, both microstructures exhibited high levels of plasticity (>20%). Both the fine and the coarse grained materials were found to be damage tolerant. Although the coarse grains material is not susceptible to thermal shock up to 1400[degrees]C, the fine grains material was found to thermal shock between 750 and 1000[degrees]C. Oriented macro-grains (1-4 mm) of Ti₃SiC₂ were fabricated to study the deformation mechanism. We have shown conclusively that there is an active slip system (across the basal planes) at room temperature which results in the room temperature plasticity. It was found that grain buckling and cavities formation are two mechanisms by which the material accommodates the strain. The oxidation was parabolic with parabolic rate constants, kp, that increased from 1x10^-9 to 1x10^-4 kg^2 m^-4 s^-1 as the temperature increased from 900 to 1400[degrees]C, respectively, which yielded an activation energy of 370 +/- 20 kJ/mol. The scale that forms was dense, adhesive, resistant to thermal cycling and layered. Carburization, nitridation and siliconization resulted in the formation of, respectively, TiCx, TiN-TiCx-SiC and TiSi2-SiC surface layers. In general the surface treatments resulted in hardnesses of 12-20 GPa. The siliconization also enhanced the oxidation resistance by more than 3 orders of magnitude. Activation energies of 370 and 130 kJ/mol were measured in carburization and siliconization, respectively.
Mass Modelling of Eggs Based on Shape Index Using Regression Analysis
Authors: MAHAWAR Manoj , ALTUNTAŞ Ebubekir , GÜL Esra Nur
Published: January 2022

This study was conducted to determine the correlation between the mass of eggs based on its geometrical dimensions characteristics such as length (L), width (W), geometric mean diameter (GMD), the first and second projection areas (PA1, PA2), criteria area (CAE), oblate spheroid volume (Vosp), measured volume (Vm) and shape index (SI). Based upon the SI, eggs were characterized as sharp (<72), normal (72 -76) and round (>76), respectively. For mass prediction, different classifications viz. dimension as 1st classification, projection area as 2nd classification, and volume as 3rd classification were considered. 1st classification (dimension), 2nd classification (projection area), and 3rd classification (volume) were considered. The analysis was executed using 33 linear regression models and the models were recommended by considering maximum coefficient of determination (R2) and minimum regression standard error (RSE). Based on the modelling analysis, 10 model equations based on the selected classifications were recommended for mass estimation. The findings of this investigation will be helpful for the researchers involved in the design and development of process equipments in the production and processing of eggs.
Effect of sperm DNA fragmentation on blastocyst formation rate and subsequent IVF outcome
Authors: Das Sankar Kumar , Kalita Krishna
Published: January 2022

Background: Male infertility associated with sperm DNA alteration has raised a new issue in assisted reproduction techniques (ARTs).Methods: It was a retrospective analytical study on 250 cases of routine IVF/ICSI performed at Swagat ART Centre from January 2017 to January 2020. We divided the patient according to the sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) as normal DFI≤15%, n=95, a moderate DFI≤30%, n=89, and a high DFI group >30%, n=66. Oocytes of each patient were almost equally divided and fertilization method was adopted as half IVF half ICSI or only ICSI in poor quality (oligo, astheno, teratozoospermia or with two or all three defect and compared the fertilization, cleavage, embryo formation, blastocyst formation, pregnancy and early embryo formation rate among these six groups.  Results: Fertilization, cleavage, embryo formation, and clinical pregnancy rates were reported as higher in ≤15% DFI group of both IVF and ICSI-ET (87.3±26.2, 77.7±26.1, 68.2±28.8, 50.8 in IVF and 78.3±17.8, 70.3±31.2, 67.2±28.8, 57.6 respectively). Significant differences (p<0.01) are observed among all six groups. Higher abortion rate is observed in high DFI group of both IVF and ICSI.Conclusions: High sperm DFI causes low blastocyst formation and pregnancy outcome.  Higher abortion rate observed in high DFI group indicated need of further study.
Magnetic resonance imaging of post traumatic knee: injury pattern analysis in sports activities
Authors: Choubey Amit , Chauhan Rahul Dev , Kumar Sourabh
Published: January 2022

Background: Musculoskeletal injuries of knee are commonly encountered in sportsmen during sports activities. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the modality of choice for evaluation of traumatic knee injuries and arthroscopic interventions. By knowing the pattern and burden of surgically significant injuries in sportsmen, the artificial intelligence (AI) software may be developed accordingly so that surgically significant injuries may be identified by the young radiologists. Methods: It was a retrospective study on MRI for knee injuries in sportsmen. The digital data from Radiology department at a zonal level hospital was analysed. The MRI findings were correlated with the arthroscopic records available. For surgically insignificant injuries, the literature was referred for the typical MRI findings of the injuries. Results: Of 272 cases of MRI knee, 74.3% cases were detected to have acute traumatic injuries. Among various types of injuries found in this study, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear (55.9%) was the commonest injury followed by medial meniscal tear (40%). 40 (19.8%) cases were found to have surgically significant MRI findings which were subsequently corroborated with knee arthroscopy.Conclusions: Since majority of soft tissue injuries of knee constitute ACL and meniscal tears, the industries involved in developing AI software for soft tissue injuries of knee, should primarily focus on identification of ACL and meniscal injuries. The AI software may also be helpful for the young radiologists in early training days in MRI for knee injuries and may also help in big scale research projects of post traumatic MRI knees.

Published: January 2022

Background: Definitive treatment and vaccination are basic necessity to bring down the burden of COVID-19 disease. Due to rapid development of vaccine against COVID-19, associated anxiety and mistrust raises hesitancy for vaccination. We aim to study about the mindset of COVID-19 vaccination among health care employees (HCE) and general population at tertiary care hospital in north east India.Methods: This was a cross sectional and observational study; questionnaires were distributed among 200 HCE and 400 general populations visiting at different OPD regarding their mindset for vaccination. Questionnaires consisted of parameter such as history of previous COVID-19 infection or hospitalization, co-morbidities, job status during pandemic and educational qualification and contained specific questions for causes of vaccine hesitancy.Results: In the survey participants from general population were more hesitant for vaccination as compared to HCE (p<0.001). Most common cause for hesitancy among HCE was pregnancy/lactation followed by concern regarding adverse effects. Doubted efficiency and adverse effects were leading concerns (67%) for vaccine hesitancy among general population. Past history of infection or hospitalization due to COVID-19 did not affect the attitude for getting vaccinated (p>0.05). Among general population, 25% had their job affected during pandemic of which 78% were in favour of vaccination.Conclusions: Increased awareness and high risk of getting infected with COVID-19 makes HCE less hesitant for vaccination. It is important to increase awareness among the general population to bring down the concerns regarding adverse effect and potency of vaccine to reduce the hesitancy for vaccination.

Many applications for these technologies have been reported in multiple fields, including dentistry, within the last three decades. It can be used in periodontology, endodontics, orthodontics, oral implantology, maxillofacial and oral surgery, and prosthodontics. In the present literature review, we have discussed the different clinical applications of various 3D printing technologies in dentistry. Evidence indicates that 3D printing approaches are usually associated with favorable outcomes based on the continuous development and production of novel approaches, enabling clinicians to develop complex equipment in different clinical and surgical aspects. Developing work models to facilitate diagnostic and surgical settings is the commonest application of these modalities in dentistry. Besides, they can also be used to manufacture various implantable devices. Accordingly, they significantly help enhance the treatment process, reducing costs and less invasive procedures with favorable outcomes. Finally, 3D printing technologies can design complex devices in a facilitated and more accurate way than conventional methods. Therefore, 3D printing should be encouraged in clinical settings for its various advantages over conventional maneuvers.

To evaluate oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in children, both the clinical indices and parenteral reporting can be used to achieve this effect. The present review provides evidence regarding the currently available instruments to assess the OHRQoL in children. Many instruments were reported, and some were designated for preschoolers. In contrast, others for schoolchildren and adolescents, and some researchers reported that some tools could be used to assess OHRQoL in different age groups. Moreover, some tools can also be used to assess the OHRQoL of children based on their parent's perspectives. The POQL, FIS, PedsQL™ oral health scale™, and P-CPQ are the only modalities that can effectively assess OHRQoL in all adolescents and all childhood cycles. Moreover, the OHRQoL hypodontia questionnaire, MIQ, IFAQ, DFTO, CPQ11-14, CPQ8-10, child-OIDP, child-OHIP, and child-DPQ are the currently available tools that can be used to assess OHRQoL in adolescents and schoolchildren. Regarding the assessment of OHRQoL in preschoolers, it has been shown that the only available tools for this context include the SOHO-5, OH-ECQOL, Michigan-OHRQoL, ECOHIS, and DDQ questionnaires.

Como producto del proceso de globalización existe una asimetría entre el corpus iuris internacional de derechos humanos y las normas internas de derechos fundamentales. Aunque la globalización tiende hacia la homogenización del derecho y la cultura, simultáneamente implica el desconocimiento de culturas e identidades sociojurídicas. Con un método descriptivo-propositivo, se toma la premisa de que “la aplicación de los derechos humanos es universal” y se propone el establecimiento de medidas que armonicen el plano supra-nacional frente a los reconocimientos antropológico, histórico y cultural del habitante humano, desde una dimensión multicultural de las expresiones jurídicas. Con este propósito, se concluye dos alternativas: la primera desde lo micro con la aplicación del modelo dialógico para lograr un diálogo intercultural, el cual partirá desde la base de la incompletitud y la debilidad existentes entre culturas para arribar a la construcción fenomenológica de una conciencia colectiva. Y segundo, en el plano macroestatal, establecer diálogos interjudiciales ascendentes desde los jueces nacionales hacia las cortes internacionales pertenecientes a los sistemas regionales de protección de derechos humanos.

Authors: John Spanoudaki Maria , Theodoros Cheimaras Antonios , Pavlos Papadopoulou Maria , Dimitrios Rountos Prokopios
Published: January 2022

Background: Television (TV) viewing and computer (PC) use have been associated with poor health outcomes.
Aim: To investigate the association of TV viewing and PC use with recreational physical activity energy expenditure (RPAEE), obesity indices, physical activity levels (PAL) and body fat percentage (BF%) of adult women.
Methods: Bodyweight (BW), height, waist (WC) and hip (HC) circumferences of 150 adult women were measured. Body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were calculated. The BF% was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis. The Athens Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to assess PAL, RPAE, TV viewing and PC hours.
Results: The majority of women (53%) were overweight and obese, watched TV for >14 hr/wk (59%), and almost half (47%) of them used computers for >1 hr/day. Slightly more than half of them (54%) had a sedentary lifestyle and reported exercise participation for <2 hr/wk. No walking for leisure was reported by one-third of the subjects, while an alarming low percentage (0.7%) walked only 2.5 hr/wk. No participation in informal physical activity was reported by 69%. RPAEE was estimated at 982 ± 973 kcal/wk and negatively correlated to TV-watching hours (r = –0.31, p < 0.05), computer use (r = –0.3, p < 0.05), BMI (r = –0.44, p < 0.01), BW (r = –0.44, p < 0.01), WC (r = –0.41, p < 0.01), WHR (r = –0.31, p = 0.01). Moreover, RPAEE and BF% were negatively correlated (r = –0.44, p < 0.01). BF% was associated with long hours of PC use and TV watching (R2 = 0.11, F1.148 = 17.94, p = 0.00; R2 = 0.14, F1.148 = 5.4, p = 0.002).
Conclusion: Screen use affecting obesity indices seemed to overrun recreational time for physical activity participation and dominate women’s lifestyle. Further research targeting behavioral change practices is recommended.

Authors: Taha Hana , Nasraween Moath , Khader Yousef , Al Omari Lujain , Berggren Vanja
Published: January 2022

Background: Shawerma is a popular traditional food in the Eastern Mediterranean region.
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the shawerma handlers’ compliance with food safety practices and determine the microbial load and pathogenic organisms in the ready-to-eat chicken shawerma sandwiches in the restaurants of Amman, Jordan.
Methods: This cross-sectional study used mixed methods including observational checklists to determine the compliance of food safety practices by 120 chicken shawerma handlers from 40 randomly selected restaurants in Amman. Additionally, pathogenic microorganisms were assessed by laboratory analysis in the ready-to-eat chicken shawerma sandwiches.
Results: Only 2.5% and 10% complied, respectively, with separating knives and boards used for chicken from the ones used for vegetables. The compliance for maintaining proper temperatures for freezers and chillers were only 62% and 67%, respectively. As for hand-washing techniques and using disposable drying papers, the adherence was 5% and 7.5%, respectively. Laboratory analysis showed that 27.5% of the ready-to-eat shawerma had unacceptable levels of microorganisms.
Conclusion: Our findings showed poor compliance of food safety practices in chicken shawerma restaurants of Amman. There is a need for capacity building and periodic evaluations of food handlers’ knowledge and practices within a comprehensive food safety program, carried out by qualified trainers.
Keywords: chicken shawerma, food safety, Jordan
Integration of Healthy Eating Habits and Physical Activity through Nutrition Care Process to Tackle the Obesity Epidemic: A Narrative Review of the Evidence
Authors: Philippou Christiana , Andreou Eleni
Published: January 2022

Background: Obesity is a rising global health problem which is already at epidemic proportions. Effective methods of treatment are required and should be imparted by efficient means to dietitians and other health professionals dealing with weight management. Research shows that behavioral modification techniques are the most effective way to achieve and maintain a healthy weight compared to diet and physical activity alone. 
Aim: This narrative review focusses on diet and physical activity behavioral modification techniques to promote effective weight management for sedentary and active adults using the Nutrition Care Process (NCP). 
Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Science Direct, Web of Science and Pro-Quest databases were searched for relevant articles.  
Results: A healthy eating habit is one of the contributing factors to improved health. Physical activities also help improve and maintain one’s health. This article discusses the importance of eating habits and physical activities among school students. In addition, health issues related to eating habits and the practice of physical activities are also highlighted. Overall, the results revealed that healthy eating habits and regular physical activities help in maintaining good health.
Conclusion: NCP is a systematic approach to provide high-quality nutrition care. Using the NCP does not mean that all clients get the same care. Use of a care process provides a framework for the dietitian to individualize care, taking into account clients’ needs and values, and using the best evidence available to make decisions.

Multimedia As a New Approach for Learning in Physical Education
Authors: Kioumourtzoglou Iordanis , Zetou Eleni , Antoniou Panagiotis
Published: January 2022

Aim: To present the relevant research results that enhance the possibilities presented today with the use of multimedia applications. An attempt was made to explain its importance in the learning process in general and motor skills in particular. At the same time, we try to define the implementation process and the flags that need attention for the best possible results. Nowadays the use of digital technology has reached very high levels. Especially in the last two years with the COVID-19 pandemic, where distance learning was most used. Teachers have learned to use these digital tools to create attractive lessons for their students, who are already introduced to digital technology in their lives. The use of multimedia in education, as many research suggests, is a modern learning tool in the classroom, but recently they have been used in both physical education and sport. The effectiveness of multimedia use is based on the theory of visualization of information that helps the student store this information in their memory for subsequent recall, make the course more attractive/pleasant, so students are motivated to learn. In PA and sports it is used as a helpful tool, since the master of learning is practice. The means used to present multimedia in the classroom can be tablets, mobile phones, a laptop with a large screen view at the same time.
Percepción de la violencia obstetra ejercida por el sistema de salud mexicano: estudio de caso
Authors: Iglesias Ortuño Emilia de los Ángeles
Published: January 2022

La violencia obstétrica es una forma de control extremo del cuerpo y la autodeterminación de la mujer durante su trabajo de parto. La praxis médica utiliza protocolos establecidos para garantizar el saber hacer profesional mecanizando la intervención y toma de decisiones, e incluso aplicando criterios profesionales sobre preferencias personales para asegurar el bienestar clínico de la paciente, dejando al margen subjetividades complejas de tipificar desde el enfoque médico y que, sin embargo, darían lugar a un parto humanizado con trato digno y la participación activa de la madre. En este artículo, el objetivo es identificar los principales elementos teóricos sobre la violencia obstetra: proceso de parto, respeto, trato, poder y bienestar reproductivo, mediante el enfoque hermenéutico de un caso real actual.
Cooperación legislativa entre oposición y gobierno en México. Un análisis de series de tiempo
Authors: Atilano Robles Edwin
Published: January 2022

¿Por qué los partidos de oposición votan en favor de iniciativas presidenciales cuando, aparentemente, no tienen incentivos para hacerlo? La literatura ha señalado que la cooperación de la oposición en un régimen presidencial es poco probable, especialmente si no se forman coaliciones de portafolio. Sin embargo, los partidos de oposición en México tienden a aprobar ampliamente iniciativas presidenciales. Para explicar esta dinámica, argumento que la cooperación de la oposición dependerá del momento en el que la iniciativa es aprobada y si se trata de una iniciativa redistributiva. Esto es puesto a prueba a través de diversos modelos de series de tiempo y los resultados apuntan en la dirección de mi argumento.
¿Más armas, más violencia? Evidencia de una compleja relación desde América Latina
Authors: Pérez Ricart Carlos A.
Published: January 2022

Este artículo examina la relación entre violencia y disponibilidad de armas cortas y ligeras entre civiles en América Latina. Se argumenta que la relación causal entre mayor disponibilidad de armas y mayores índices de violencia no se sostiene para todo el continente y bajo cualquier circunstancia. Sin embargo, en situaciones específicas la mayor circulación de armas sí cataliza situaciones violentas. Al analizar y sintetizar las aportaciones académicas sobre este tema, se contribuye a los estudios sobre la violencia, criminalidad y seguridad en la región. Se hace un llamado a mayor investigación empírica y comparada que dilucide las interrogantes que aún quedan por resolver en la compleja relación entre disponibilidad de armas entre civiles y violencia en América Latina.
institucionalización de una política pública. El caso de la gratuidad en el acceso a la educación superior ecuatoriana (2008-2018)
Authors: Zabala-Peñafiel Tania
Published: January 2022

Los gobiernos latinoamericanos que han intentado promover la gratuidad en la educación superior siguen siendo minoría. Como resultado, las desigualdades respecto al acceso a ese nivel educativo son persistentes. Desde 2008, Ecuador pasó a formar parte de esa minoría. Este artículo argumenta que cuanto más se institucionalizan políticas pro equidad, mejoran las condiciones de acceso para sectores socioeconómicos rezagados, de forma que interesa comprender en qué condiciones la política de educación superior gratuita se estabilizó en Ecuador. Para ello, se ha construido un mecanismo causal teórico basado en el marco analítico del diseño de políticas. El método empleado es el rastreo de procesos, sostenido en evidencias que se organizan a partir de la taxonomía de instrumentos de política. Así se demuestra una institucionalización “formal”, principalmente impulsada por actores estatales en la que poco participan otros actores educativos.

Authors: Schettino Francesco , Romanò Sara , Gabriele Alberto , Echevarría León Dayma
Published: January 2022

Nuestro estudio es el primer análisis que muestra la tendencia de la distribución del bienestar en Cuba, en el periodo de las reformas económicas y sociales impulsadas por el presidente Raúl Castro. Los análisis revelan que el bienestar, premisa del desarrollo humano y medido como acceso a bienes y servicios fundamentales y no monetarios, ha aumentado, a pesar de la crisis económica; en tanto que las desigualdades en el acceso al bienestar han aumentado poco en el periodo 2006-2011 y han disminuido en el periodo siguiente, para llegar en 2014 a un nivel ligeramente inferior al de 2006.
Autonomía universitaria, gobierno institucional y gobernanza interpretativa en México
Authors: Acosta Silva Adrián
Published: January 2022

En este ensayo se analizan las relaciones entre la autonomía y el gobierno institucional universitario desde la perspectiva de la “gobernanza interpretativa” y los regímenes de políticas de los sistemas de educación superior instrumentados en los últimos años. Considerando la experiencia reciente de algunas universidades públicas estatales en México, se discute la idea de que los cambios en las narrativas y prácticas de la autonomía y el gobierno de las universidades son la expresión institucionalizada de una gobernanza interpretativa centrada en la métrica de la calidad y la eficiencia institucional. El argumento central que se explora es que tras un ciclo largo de políticas gubernamentales dirigidas a modificar los comportamientos institucionales universitarios, la idea de la autonomía universitaria ha transformado sustancialmente su significado, límites y alcances en México.
A FORMAÇÃO DO CIENTISTA NORMAL COMO UMA INICIAÇÃO DOGMÁTICA A UMA TRADIÇÃO PARADIGMÁTICA SEGUNDO KUHN
Authors: Albuquerque Gleyce Kelly Da Luz
Published: January 2022

Neste artigo, meu objetivo é analisar de que maneira o cientista, no âmbito das Ciências Naturais, é educado para assimilar, aplicar e articular um determinado paradigma na solução dos problemas de ciência normal, sem colocá-lo (o paradigma) criticamente em questão, assim qualquer erro que venha a ocorrer na pesquisa é atribuído ao cientista e não ao paradigma. Pretendo também, mostrar que o caráter dogmático do paradigma não permite que o cientista desenvolva pesquisas visando novas descobertas que não se enquadrem nos parâmetros ditados pelo mesmo, tal atitude exige total aceitação e comprometimento da comunidade científica para com o paradigma aceito, gerando assim, uma espécie de profissão de fé na capacidade do paradigma em resolver os quebra-cabeças que se apresentam na prática da ciência normal.
A FILOSOFIA POLÍTICA DE JOHN LOCKE: CONSIDERAÇÕES ACERCA DO CONCEITO DE “PROPRIEDADE”
Authors: De Sousa Wesley Fernando Rodrigues
Published: January 2022

O artigo em questão trata de um tema importante dentro da filosofia política moderna e no pensamento do filósofo inglês John Locke: a propriedade. Discute-se a forma com a qual Locke conceituou a propriedade em seu livro mais famoso, intitulado “Dois Tratados Sobre o Governo”. No entanto, plausível será a caracterização de época histórica em que seu pensamento emerge. O autor destaca a propriedade como um conceito correspondente à moderna sociedade capitalista, entendida como “posse” no sentido mais amplo. Por finalmente, a partir de uma leitura crítica, referenciada por comentadores, faz-se alguns apontamentos das implicações e ressonâncias posteriores na contemporaneidade.
