Isaiah’s Structure from Random Forest Regression Analysis
Authors: Butler Richard J.
Published: February 2023

This is the first paper to analyze the tripartite linguistic structure of Isaiah using Random Forest Regression, a supervised machine learning statistical approach.  By predicting the occurrences of ‘judgment’ and ‘hope’ verses, we examine the threefold structure of Isaiah (section 1--chapters 1-39; section 2--chapters 40-55; and section 3--chapters 56-66) for differences in expression within and between each section. We find more inter-sectional homogeneity between sections 1 and 2 than between sections 1 and 3 or between sections 2 and 3, with respect to both judgment and hope word structures. Moreover, analysis of the judgment-vs-hope word structure indicate that section 3 heterogeneity differs significantly from sections 1 and 2 homogeneity, reinforcing the hypothesis that there is indeed a post-exilic authorship of section 3 (Isaiah 56-66).

Published: February 2023

The dynamic response of the rotor system in a ring die granulator is complex and difficult to solve when it operates under joint external, support and gear mesh forces. To solve this problem, a finite element method and extrusion theory was applied in this study to develop a dynamic coupling model for a hollow overhung rotor with external load excitation. A Newmark-β numerical integration method was used to solve for the dynamic response of the overhung rotor under multiple excitation forces. The results included time-domain response diagrams, frequency-domain response diagrams, phase diagrams, Poincaré section diagrams, and bifurcation diagrams. The model and the method were verified by testing a ring die granulator. On this basis, the dynamic response of the system is predicted according to the influence of different parameters. As the bearing support distance increased, the roller eccentricity decreased, the bearing clearance decreased, the response of the rotor system was significantly optimized, and the system tended to stabilize gradually. Therefore, this paper provides a theoretical basis and experimental verification for the optimization of a pelleting machine transmission structure.
Cash Wakf Implementation Viewed From Bi Al-Urfi Ijtihad Methodology
Authors: Nurul Inayah
Published: February 2023

This study aims to implement cash waqf in terms of the Istihsan Bi Al-Urfi ijtihad methodology. This is related to the phenomenon that there are still those who doubt the permissibility of cash waqf (cash waqf). The research method used is qualitative analysis. The data collection technique used in this paper is literature study and observation. The technical analysis of the data used is by using a qualitative analysis approach, namely by explaining various arguments regarding the law of cash waqf from various ijtihad methodologies of fiqh scholars. From the results of the research conducted, the authors conclude that the Hanafi School also allows waqf as a conclusion, on the basis of what has been done (custom), many people have done. The way of doing cash waqf according to the Hanafi school is the modality of the mudharabah method while the profits are donated to the waqf. According to al Bakri, the Shafi'i school does not allow cash waqf, because dinars and dirhams (money) will be discontinued. However, some followers of the Shafi'i school allow cash waqf. And the opinion of scholars regarding the object of waqf explains that the conditions for waqf objects (must be objects, useful, not disposable, not unlawful in substance and must belong to the wakif perfectly).

Introdução: Os efeitos do consumo de álcool durante o período gestacional ainda não são bem compreendidos, mas é sabido que pode levar a alterações celulares importantes modificando o desenvolvimento fetal. Estima-se que 20% das gestantes consumam álcool durante toda a gestação, mesmo que em pequenas doses. O impacto potencial da Exposição Pré-natal ao Álcool (EPA) varia consideravelmente entre os indivíduos, podendo levar a alterações morfológicas como defeitos congênitos no coração. Entretanto, muitas dessas alterações ocorrem silenciosamente podendo, ao longo da vida, predispor o indivíduo às doenças crônicas, como a hipertrofia cardíaca. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o impacto da EPA em relação ao metabolismo celular e sobrevivência de cardiomiócitos, analisando a expressão de RNA mensageiro. Materiais e Métodos: Utilizando camundongos isogênicos C57Bl/6 expostos ao álcool durante a gestação, na proporção 10% (v/v), diluídos em água de consumo, analisamos a expressão de genes participantes das vias de transdução de sinal relacionadas à angiogênese e metabolismo celular em amostras de ventrículo esquerdo (LV) por qPCR. Resultados: Identificamos alterações significativas na expressão de todos os 9 genes analisados no grupo EPA, com redução de 66,4% na expressão de RNAm do fator de crescimento endotelial vascular (VEGF) e aumento de 154,45% de RNAm do gene da proteína desacopladora 2 (UCP2) em relação ao controle. Conclusão: Assim, concluímos que a agressão mediada pelo álcool no miocárdio dos animais do grupo EPA pode modular vias de angiogênese e metabolismo celular.

Published: February 2023

Introdução: Os tumores uterinos de músculo liso desenvolvem-se no miométrio e podem ser classificados em benignos ou malignos dependendo de suas características clínicas e biológicas. Os leiomiomas (LM) são os tumores benignos do trato ginecológico mais frequentemente encontrados em mulheres em idade reprodutiva. No Brasil, esses tumores representam a principal causa de histerectomias e podem levar à infertilidade. Por outro lado, o leiomiossarcoma (LMS) é um tumor raro, altamente heterogêneo e agressivo. É o tipo de sarcoma uterino mais comum, correspondendo a ~70% de todos as neoplasias deste grupo. As pacientes acometidas, apresentam altas taxas de metástase e recidiva, com sobrevida global em torno de 50% em 5 anos. O diagnóstico diferencial dos LMS é um grande desafio e, até o momento, ainda não se dispõe de biomarcadores e tratamentos direcionados. Nesse sentido, os microRNAs (miRNAs) apresentam um grande potencial para fins de diagnóstico, prognóstico e também, como alternativa terapêutica. Objetivos: Avaliar a expressão do miR-144 e miR-203 em amostras de pacientes com LMS e correlacionar com os dados clínico-patológicos. Materiais e métodos: O RNA total foi obtido de 59 amostras incluídas em parafina, sendo 37 de LMS, 10 de LM e 10 amostras de miométrio utilizadas como referência. A síntese de cDNA foi realizada com o kit TaqMan Advanced miRNA cDNA Systhesis e a PCR quantitativa em tempo real foi realizada com o sistema TaqMan Advanced miRNA. Para a análise de quantificação dos transcritos foi utilizado o método 2-ΔΔct. Todos os dados foram submetidos à análise estatística e a presente pesquisa foi aprovada pelas Comissões de Ética em Pesquisa de todas as instituições envolvidas. Resultados: As pacientes com LMS apresentaram média de idade de 54,57± 12,09, variando de 37 a 95 anos, em contraste, as pacientes com LM apresentaram média de idade de 45,80 ± 3,882 variando de 39 a 52 anos. O miR-144 e miR-203 apresentaram maior expressão nos LMS em relação aos LM (p = 0,004 e p = 0,008 respectivamente). A expressão do miR-144 apresentou associação com o estadiamento clínico (p = 0,038), sendo que 62% das pacientes foram estadiadas em grau III ou IV. Além disso, a hiperexpressão desse miRNA foi associada com a menor sobrevida global (SG) (p = 0,010). A hiperexpressão do miR-203 foi associada com metástase (p = 0,0143) e 35% das pacientes apresentaram metástase distante. Conclusão: O miR-144 e miR-203 mostraram associações importantes com os dados clínicos das pacientes e assim, representaram alvos promissores para investigação mais aprofundada nos tumores uterinos de músculo liso.

Published: February 2023

Introdução: A doença do coronavírus 2019 (COVID-19) é uma infecção respiratória aguda causada pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2. Os primeiros registros da doença foram notificados à OMS, na China em dezembro de 2019, a qual tem como principal forma de transmissão a inalação de gotículas ou aerossóis de pessoas infectadas. O pneumotórax é uma patologia que se caracteriza pela presença de ar na cavidade pleural, podendo ser classificado como adquirido ou espontâneo. Na COVID 19 o pneumotórax observado em alguns casos, é o espontâneo secundário, isso se explica pois esse tipo específico é ocasionado por uma doença pulmonar prévia. Considera-se que o pneumotórax ocasionado pela COVID 19, se desenvolve pelas lesões císticas pulmonares, acompanhada da perda de complacência pulmonar, acarretada pelas áreas de fibrose que a doença causa. Alguns estudos relatam que o pneumotórax é uma rara complicação na COVID-19, ocorrendo em 1-2% dos pacientes com a doença. Já outros artigos associaram o pneumotórax como uma complicação comum nos casos em que os pacientes são gravemente acometidos pelo coronavírus. Objetivos: Determinar a epidemiologia e incidência do pneumotórax em pacientes internados com COVID- 19. Metodologia: Foram selecionados artigos das bases de dados Scielo e Pubmed. Os critérios de inclusão estabelecidos foram incluir os artigos encontrados nas pesquisas que estejam disponíveis por completo online, em língua inglesa e língua portuguesa, que foram publicados entre dezembro de 2019 a dezembro de 2021, com exceção de um artigo de 2006, que foi utilizado para a explicação do pneumotórax. Os critérios de exclusão foram excluir os artigos sobre COVID-19 que não tinham relação com o pneumotórax, fisiopatologia e epidemiologia. Resultado: Nove artigos científicos foram selecionados e analisados para extrair dados sobre epidemiologia e fisiopatologia de COVID-19 até o momento presente, assim como para determinar os principais riscos e consequências do desenvolvimento de pneumotórax na presença do vírus. Desses nove artigos, 6 falam sobre pneumotórax na COVID-19, 2 sobre fisiopatologia e epidemiologia da COVID-19 e 1 sobre fisiopatologia do pneumotórax. Conclusão: Conclui-se que a maioria dos casos de pneumotórax em pacientes internados por Covid-19 geralmente ocorre por uma complicação devido à intubação prolongada e de alta pressão ou iatrogenia da técnica. Porém, existem relatos que evidenciaram que em raras vezes o pneumotórax pode ser desenvolvido através da fisiopatologia da Covid - 19.

O IMPACTO DA VACINA CONTRA O COVID-19 NO CICLO MENSTRUAL DE MULHERES: UMA REVISÃO NARRATIVA
Authors: Moujally Sophie Nicolas , Feliciano Regiane dos Santos
Published: February 2023

Introdução: Dentre os efeitos adversos listados pela Organização Mundial da Saúde e outras instituições de saúde governamentais, não é comumente listado possíveis alterações no ciclo menstrual que a vacina contra a COVID-19 possa causar. Estes dados são encontrados em bases de dados de notificações de eventos adversos, mas acabam não sendo cuidadosamente analisados pela alta prevalência de distúrbios menstruais na população. Objetivos: Esta revisão tem como objetivo avaliar as mudanças no ciclo menstrual de mulheres após a administração da vacina contra a COVID-19 em comparação às mulheres não vacinadas. Materiais e métodos: Este estudo se caracteriza como uma revisão narrativa, com busca principal de artigos nas plataformas do PubMed, Google Acadêmico e BMJ, utilizando os descritores "ciclo menstrual" e "vacina contra COVID-19". Foram incluídos artigos encontrados na língua inglesa ou portuguesa, dos anos de 2021 e 2022. Não foram delimitados tamanhos de amostragem, e excluídos artigos com possíveis conflitos de interesse. Resultados e discussão: Os estudos analisados indicaram que em comparação ao período anterior à administração da vacina do COVID-19, mulheres indicaram alterações no ciclo menstrual como um todo, incluindo prolongamento no tempo do ciclo menstrual de =>1 dias, sangramento intermenstrual ou fora do período comum, e/ou aumento do fluxo e sintomas menstruais. De forma geral, estes indícios se cessaram em uma média de dois meses após seu início. Estes sintomas foram apresentados independentemente do tipo ou laboratório da vacina, o que pode demonstrar que é algo relacionado a uma reação imunológica desencadeada ao invés de um componente específico do imunizante. Conclusão: Pode-se concluir que a vacina do COVID-19 está associada à mudança e alterações no ciclo menstrual de mulheres, de diferentes intensidades. É necessário que mais pesquisas de alta amostragem sejam realizadas para avaliar as causas das mudanças no ciclo menstrual, e concluir se estão relacionadas a aspectos sociais ou desencadeadas pelas respostas imunes do organismo. A alta prevalência de alterações menstruais em diversas faixas etárias torna difícil a compreensão do real impacto da vacina, sem estudos especializados. É importante que sejam realizados também pesquisas sobre as alterações em mulheres pós-menopausa, uma vez que não há bibliografia acessível sobre o assunto.

Introdução: A fístula arteriovenosa (FAV) é uma comunicação direta entre uma artéria e uma veia, que pode ser de origem artificial, como no caso de acesso para hemodiálise em pacientes com doença renal crônica. As FAV são fonte de diversas complicações, uma delas a trombose, que requer tratamento anticoagulante urgente, sendo infrequente o uso da edoxabana nesses pacientes. Objetivo: Relato e discussão de caso de tratamento com edoxabada de uma trombose venosa profunda em veias axilar e braquial em membro superior esquerdo com presença de FAV prévia não funcionante em paciente com Insuficiência Renal Crônica em pós-operatório tardio de transplante renal. Descrição do caso: Paciente de 42 anos, sexo feminino, nefropata por IgA com hipertensão arterial crônica de longa data com Insuficiência Renal Crônica estágio 5, em pós-operatório tardio de transplante renal. Evolui com clearance de creatinina baixo, pela manutenção dos fatores de risco para insuficiência renal crônica, mas sem mais necessidade das sessões de hemodiálise. Paciente evolui com dor e hiperemia no local da FAV, com exame físico apresentando eritema, empastamento e dor à palpação, levando à suspeita de trombose venosa profunda. Foram solicitados exames laboratoriais e investigação por ultrassom Doppler, com diagnóstico de tromboses nas veias axilar e braquial e tromboflebite da FAV. Optado por tratamento com edoxabana, visto sua segurança em pacientes com clearance de creatinina entre 30 e 50 ml/min/1,73 m2, não possuir interação medicamentosa com tacrolimus (como a varfarina possui) e ser de fácil uso (dose uma vez ao dia). A paciente foi acompanhada mensalmente no ambulatório do Hospital Ipiranga sem complicações após tratamento. Considerações finais: O caso relatado compreende o tratamento com edoxabana de uma trombose venosa profunda em veias axilar e braquial em membro superior esquerdo com tromboflebite de uma FAV por superficialização de basílica. Embora seja um evento relativamente raro na FAV, a trombose é a complicação mais comum, e o diagnóstico é de suma importância pelo alto grau de morbidade em pacientes hospitalizados. O tratamento de escolha deve ser individualizado levando-se em consideração diversos fatores como o quadro clínico do paciente, seus fatores de risco e medicamentos em uso. A edoxabana foi a droga de escolha visto sua segurança em pacientes com baixo clearance de creatinina, não possuir interação medicamentosa com medicamentos em uso pelo paciente e ser de fácil uso.

Published: February 2023

The presence of nitrate concentration in drinking water can cause high toxicity to the human body, being considered among the most important pollutant in the environment. Among the many methods available such as biological treatment, electrodialysis, reverse osmosis, adsorption, ion exchange, adsorption is the most used technique due to its low cost and simplistic design.
Therefore, the aim of this paper was to study the retention of nitrate anion from high concentration aqueous solutions on a novel magnetic adsorbent obtained by pyrolysis of de-oiled microalgal biomass. The prepared adsorbent was characterized by textural analysis (specific surface area, pore volume, average pore diameter, pore size distribution), FT-IR and TGA techniques. The influence of nitrate concentration, pH, retention time and adsorbent mass were evaluated. The equilibrium adsorption data were fitted to three isotherms, namely Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin. The equilibrium isotherms indicate a pH-dependent behavior, characterized by Temkin model at pH=7 and Freundlich model at pH = 9, respectively. In order to estimate the nitrate removal efficiency multiple linear regressions and artificial neural networks were investigated.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOUR OF ASPHALT MIXTURES EXPOSED TO UV RADIATION
Authors: Briliak Dusan , Remisova Eva
Published: February 2023

Asphalt mixtures are the most commonly used material in road construction. It is necessary to know the properties of the mixtures and their constituents, as well as the changes in properties that occur during their service life. The demands on road durability are constantly increasing. The main problem with asphalt mixtures is degradation. Due to the effects during asphalt pavement production and service, there is a gradual degradation of properties. One of the degradation factors is the impact of traffic, climate and weather on the road surface. One climatic factor whose influence on pavement degradation has not yet been researched in detail is solar UV radiation. The main cause of ageing is known to be the oxidation of asphalt molecules by oxygen. However, UV radiation also has a photo-oxidation effect on the pavement in service. Oxidation processes cause gradual hardening and embrittlement of the asphalt layer. Understanding these processes could lead to better design of asphalt mixtures and more appropriate material selection to improve performance and extend pavement life. In this article, the results of the measure of the effect of UV radiation on the stiffness changes for AC11 50/70 asphalt mix will be presented. In order to more accurately determine the effect of UV radiation on asphalt mixtures, we used AC11 50/70 mixtures unaged, long-term aged by the loosely distributed mix method, and long-term aged by the compacted specimen method. The modulus of stiffness was measured by the IT-CY laboratory method at 20 �C. The monitored changes in the stiffness of the asphalt mixture were exactly 3 times after 200 hours of UV radiation, a totally of 600 hours of UV radiation.

The research, which is carried out in cooperation with the Technical University of Liberec, the Klokner Institute of the Czech Technical University in Prague and the company Cervenka Consulting s.r.o., deals with the use of 3D printing of cement composites in architecture and construction. The research develops original equipment for 3D printing of mixtures with cement-based binders, including the original design of printing mixtures and original software for printing data processing and machine control. The ambition of the project is to develop equipment that can be used for in-situ printing of building elements and to develop such procedures that would enable the implementation of a printed multi-storey building. The print is focused on vertical and horizontal load-bearing structures. The vertical structures will be printed in the final position, the horizontal structures will be printed on the construction site in the form of prefabricated parts, retrofitted by a crane on the pre-printed walls of the building. The shape and static solution of vertical and horizontal elements of the supporting structure is optimized for 3D printing technology with a focus on minimizing material consumption in accordance with current requirements for sustainable construction, saving non-renewable raw materials and energy savings. This leads to the use of thinwalled constructions with a print width of 20 to 50 mm. At the same time, design procedures for these types of structures and implementation of 3D printed elements into non-linear Atena software, designed for advanced modeling of concrete structures and developed by Cervenka Consulting s.r.o. At present, a Test-Bed is in operation, intended for testing the print head and development of printing mixtures, with a printing space of 3 x 1 x 1 m. Stability and other properties and optimization of design procedures so that in the future they allow safe verification of designed structures in terms of their static function. Part of the research is the study of printing logistics on site and a comprehensive design of the entire system from the mixture to the printed structure.
Impresos Franciscanos Hispano-Filipinos 1593-1699 (Part I)
Authors:   Archivo Franciscano Íbero Oriental, Fuertes, OFM Cayetano Sánchez
Published: February 2023

The present work, in two instalments, seeks to address the dearth of writing on the Franciscan contribution to printing in the Philippines. Using archival and rare primary sources, the article traces the involvement of the Franciscans in the preparation and publication of works such as catechisms, grammars, dictionaries, and sermons needed in their apostolic work in the Tagalog and Bicol regions. The Franciscans only acquired their own printing press in the 1690s; it seems to have been first based in Longos and then in Tayabas (where 2 books were printed in 1702-1703) before eventually being housed in Sampaloc, where it ceased activity in the early 19th century. Works printed from 1593 to 1699 are catalogued, including those of which no copy can be found but whose existence has been traced through other sources. In most cases, the entry for each work carries the author, title, year and place of publication, bibliographic citations, and a description of its contents and historico-cultural context.
The Church as the New Creation in the Fourth Gospel: A Study of the Theology of John 1:1-2:11
Authors: Muñoz Pablo
Published: February 2023

The author of the Gospel of John attempts to align the beginning of the Gospel ( John 1:1–2:11) with the Genesis creation story (primarily Genesis 1, but with a connection drawn between John 2:1–11 and the story of Adam and Eve) in order to interpret the beginning of the Gospel as the story of (a) the new creation and (b) more specifically, the creation of the church. The alignment proceeds chronologically, in such a way that the seven days of creation are used to structure the sections and events of this section of John. On each “day” of the new creation, accordingly, an “essential element” of the church is evoked and thus brought into being. The new creation concludes with the alignment of the wedding at Cana with the story of Adam and Eve, presenting this story as the new Eve leading the new Adam to redemption through her (i.e., Mary’s) perfect obedience.
Prolonged thromboprophylaxis with rivaroxaban after bariatric interventions: A single-centre experience
Authors: Tyselskyi Volodymyr , Tryliskyy Yegor , Poylin Vitaliy , Kebkalo Andrey
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is common after bariatric surgery, and extended prophylaxis is generally recommended. Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is the most common agent, but it requires patients to be trained to self-inject and is expensive. Rivaroxaban is an oral daily formulation approved for VTE prophylaxis after orthopaedic surgery. The efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban have been confirmed in major gastrointestinal resections by several observational studies. We report a single-centre experience of using rivaroxaban as an agent for VTE prophylaxis in bariatric surgery.

Materials and methods: We performed a prospective cohort study assessing the safety and efficacy of rivaroxaban as a medication for VTE prophylaxis in patients undergoing bariatric surgery in a single centre in Kyiv, Ukraine. The patients undergoing a major bariatric procedure received perioperative VTE prophylaxis with subcutaneous LMWH and were then switched to rivaroxaban for a total of 30 days starting on the 4th postoperative day. Thromboprophylaxis was performed in accordance with the VTE risks derived from the Caprini score. On the 3rd, 30th and 60th days after the operation, the patients underwent ultrasound examination of the portal vein, as well as the veins of the lower extremities. Telephone interviews were conducted 30 and 60 days after the surgery to evaluate the presence of complaints which may indicate VTE and to assess the patients’ compliance with the regimen and satisfaction. The outcomes of the study were incidence of VTE and adverse events related to rivaroxaban administration.

Results: A total of 110 patients were included in the study from July 2019 to May 2021. The average age of the patients was 43.6 years, and the average preoperative BMI was 55 (35 to 75). Of these patients, 107 (97.3%) underwent laparoscopic intervention, while 3 (2.7%) underwent laparotomy. Eighty-four patients underwent sleeve gastrectomy, and 26 underwent other procedures, including bypass surgery. The average calculated risk of thromboembolic event was 5–6% based on the Caprini score. All patients were treated with extended prophylaxis with rivaroxaban. The average follow-up period for patients was 6 months. There was no clinical or radiological evidence of thromboembolic complications in the study cohort. The overall complication rate was 7.2%; only 1 patient (0.9%) developed subcutaneous haematoma associated with rivaroxaban which did not require intervention.

Conclusion: Extended postoperative prophylaxis with rivaroxaban is safe and effective in preventing thromboembolic complications in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. It is preferred by patients and further studies should be considered to evaluate its use in bariatric surgery.

Published: February 2023

The present study was aimed to assess the genetic analysis of tuber yield, processing and nutritional traits in potatoes based on evaluation of 23 genotypes during the winter crop season in sub-tropical plains of India. Characters, viz. reducing sugars followed by chip colour score, phenols, soluble proteins, sucrose, total free amino acids and marketable tuber yield had high genotypic and phenotypic variation, heritability and genetic advance as percent of mean and can be improved by practising selection in potato breeding programme. The results revealed that table potatoes possessed high yield and high phenols content. Whereas, processing potatoes recorded moderate tuber yield, but had high soluble protein and high ascorbic acid, low reducing sugars, low sucrose, low phenols and low total freeÂ  amino acids. Study suggests that genotypes with moderate to high tuber dry matter, high soluble protein and high ascorbic acid should be selected for improving nutritionally superior table potatoes.

Published: February 2023

Malnourishment is widespread and severe problems in most of the developing countries, and nutritionally rich food can address this issue efficiently by introducing nutritionally rich cultivars for cultivation. In this endeavor, 33 genotypes (30 agronomically superior advance lines and three cultivars) were analyzed for nutritional and essential agromorphological attributes. This set of materials has shown wide significant variations for most of the nutritional attributes indicating significant levels of genetic diversity. Antioxidant metabolites (total carotenoids and total polyphenols) and total chlorophyll were positively correlated with each other. First, four principal components explained 70.47% of the total variation. Best-performing lines were marked for important nutritional and agro-morphological attributes and may be tested in the multi-location trial to be released as new nutritionally rich cultivars for on-farm production.Alternatively, these could also be of instant significance as a donor in the future breeding program.

Published: February 2023

Management of degradation of sodic lands in arid and semi-arid regions is a global concern. Amelioration of these soils through chemical amendments like gypsum or phosphogypsum is a costly affair for resource poor farmers having sodic lands. Combined use of municipal solid waste (MSW) compost with chemical amendments can providea realistic solution for ameliorating sodic soils and sustaining crop productivity. A field experiment was conducted during 2015 to 2016 at Shivri, Lucknow on highly sodic soil [pH 9.8, exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) 78, organic carbon (OC) 1.30 g/kg and gypsum requirement (GR) 15.2 t/ha] to evaluate the influence of organic and inorganic amendments on amelioration of sodic soils and sustaining productivity of rice (Oryza sativa L.)-wheat(Triticum aestivum L.) cropping system. The treatments consisted of T1: Gypsum (G) @ 50%GR, T2: Phosphogypsum (PG) @ 50%GR, T3: G @25%GR + on-farm MSW compost @10 t/ha, T4: PG @25%GR+ on-farm MSW compost @10 t/ha, T5: G @12.5%GR + on-farm MSW compost @10 t/ha + pressmud (PM) @10 t/ha, T6: PG @12.5%GR+ on-farm MSW compost @ 10 t/ha + PM @ 10 t/ha, T7: G @ 25%GR + industrial processed (IP) MSW compost @10 t/ha and T8: PG @ 25%GR + IP MSW compost @10 t/ha. The results indicated that, application of reduced dose (25% of GR) of gypsum (T3) in combination with on-farm MSW compost @10 t/ha reduced about 14% ESP and increased 11% soil bulk density, 54% infiltration rate, 10% soil organic carbon content, and 13% available N over the recommended practice (T1). Productivity of rice and wheat crops enhanced to the tune of 4 and 12 %, respectively and thus farmers can save about ` 29444.00/ha on account of reducing the quantity of gypsum or phosphogypsum without any significant yield loss and the saved amount can be utilized to bring more area under reclamation. The maximum N content in rice and wheat grain was recorded with treatment T4.
Anesthetic neurotoxicity in the pediatric population: a systematic review of the clinical evidence
Authors: Foubert R , Devroe S , Foubert L , Van de Velde M , Rex S
Published: February 2023

Background: Exposure to general anesthesia (GA) in early life is known to be neurotoxic to animals.

Objectives: To evaluate the risk of GA inducing long-term neurodevelopmental deficits in human children.

Design: Systematic review.

Methods: We included observational and randomized studies that compared the long-term neurodevelopment of postnatal children exposed to GA to the long-term neurodevelopment of children not exposed to GA. We searched MEDLINE, Embase and Web of Science for relevant studies published in the year 2000 or later. We screened all the identified studies on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. A risk of bias assessment was made for each included study. We identified 9 neurodevelopmental domains for which a sub-analysis was made: intelligence; memory; learning; language/speech; motor function; visuospatial skills; development/emotions/behavior; ADHD/attention; autistic disorder.

Results: We included 26 studies involving 605.391 participants. Based on AHRQ-standards 11 studies were of poor quality, 7 studies were of fair quality and 8 studies were of good quality. The major causes of potential bias were selection and comparability bias. On 2 neurodevelopmental domains (visuospatial skills and autistic disorder), the available evidence showed no association with exposure to GA. On 7 other neurodevelopmental domains, the available evidence showed mixed results. The 4 studies that used a randomized or sibling-controlled design showed no association between GA and neurodevelopmental deficits in their primary endpoints.

Limitations: The absence of a meta-analysis and funnel plot.

Conclusions: Based on observational studies, we found an association between GA in childhood and neuro-developmental deficits in later life. Randomized and sibling-matched observational studies failed to show the same association and therefore no evidence of a causal relationship exists at present. Since GA seems to be a marker, but not a cause of worse neurodevelopment, we argue against delaying or avoiding interventional or diagnostic procedures requiring GA in childhood based on the argument of GA-induced neurotoxicity.
Serial transcutaneous laryngeal ultrasonography in intensive care unit for assessment of vocal cord palsy: a case report
Authors: Kumar N , Kumar A , Kumar A , Kumar A
Published: February 2023

A direct laryngoscopy is currently the standard method for diagnosing RLN (Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve) paralysis after thyroid or parathyroid surgery but this procedure can be uncomfortable for patients and may cause undesirable changes in vital signs. A 40 years old female after a total thyroidectomy was assumed to have a bilateral vocal cord palsy on direct laryngoscopy after surgery. Patient was shifted to intensive care unit (ICU) on ventilatory support. We used serial transcutaneous laryngeal ultrasonography in the ICU for assessing the vocal cord functions along with conservative management. After 3 days, we were able to safely extubate the trachea and tracheostomy was avoided.

Lesión por anillo de plástico en el Pato de Torrente (Merganetta armata)
Authors: Seijas Susana , Belmonte Demián
Published: February 2023

Los estudios que incluyen el anillamiento proporcionan mucha información sobre el comportamiento y la distribución de las aves. Sin embargo, muy pocos reportan los problemas que pueden generar en las aves por lesiones o muertes. En este artículo reportamos la lesión en el pie izquierdo de un macho de Pato de Torrente (Merganetta armata) por desplazamiento de un anillo plástico de color en el Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi, Argentina. Este podría constituir el primer caso reportado para la especie. Las consecuencias que el uso de anillos de plástico de color tiene sobre las aves, parecieran variar de acuerdo al grupo de aves que es anillado y al contexto ambiental que habitan. En este caso la fuerte corriente del agua podría haber favorecido el desplazamiento del anillo desde el tarso al pie de este macho. A través de la descripción de esta lesión y las recomendaciones propuestas en este artículo, esperamos contribuir a minimizar el futuro impacto del uso de anillos plásticos de color en esta y otras especies de patos que habitan ríos y arroyos de montaña.

Published: February 2023

The present work aims to analyze the numerous biomechanical variables observed during the execution of the laying task by a mason. For this, a research method based on the case study was developed, in which photographic records were made of the different stages that make up the activity. Such steps consist of loading of materials, preparation of the mortar, application of the mass on the wall, and laying of the ceramic piece. Biomechanical variables such as load lifting, repetitiveness, muscle contraction, mechanical compression, and inadequate posture were found. Through the analysis and discussion of the literature, measures were presented to be implemented in the worker's routine to minimize biomechanical risks, thus generating a safer and healthier work environment. Therefore, when the worker is in a favorable work environment, he is more productive. Investment in the ergonomic area within civil construction brings benefits, through productivity and minimization of expenses with occupational diseases and accidents at work.
GQD purification study obtained by bottom-up route aiming at the production of photocatalysts

Published: February 2023

Recent studies have shown that heterostructures composed of metal semiconductors (SC) and graphene quantum dots (QDs) have a photocatalytic performance considerably higher than that of intrinsic metallic semiconductors, this is because the GQDs reduce the electronic recombination on the surface of the CS, being still associated with the displacement of the absorption band to larger wavelengths. In the present work, graphene quantum dots were synthesized through commercial lignin (LcGQD), using nitric acid for depolymerization followed by a hydrothermal process. Analyses of the material demonstrated an average particulate size of 10.9 nm, UV-Vis absorption similar to that of other structures described in the literature, but without the presence of nitrogen peaks in the carbon structure, besides a remarkable specificity in fluorescence. The LcGQD then has great potential for use in photocatalysis, sensors, and optoelectronics.
The Broken Helix: innovation and the political-economic crisis in Brazil
Authors: Jesus Diego Santos Vieira de , Kamlot Daniel
Published: February 2023

The aim of this article is to explain how the political-economic crisis in Brazil in the second half of the 2010s affected the cooperation between government, industries and universities in promoting innovation in the country. Based on the theoretical framework of Leydesdorff & Etzkowitz (1998), the central argument points out that the budget crisis and allegations of corruption created limits to cooperation among these actors and reinforced the structural obstacles in their relationship in Brazil. The qualitative methodology applied in this research is the case study, which allows to verify whether the path between the hypothetical causes – the budgetary crisis and corruption – and the observed effect – the reduction of collaboration between government, companies/industries and universities in the promotion of innovation – behaved as planned by theoretical-conceptual discussion presented.
Enseñanzas que nos deja la pandemia por COVID-19
Authors: Evans-Meza Ronald
Published: February 2023

Tres años después de su aparición en la provincia de Wuhan en China, la pandemia retrocede en casi todos los frentes, luego de dejarnos friolera de 668´613.487 de casos, al momento de escribir esta líneas (05/1/23) y de 6´713.586 de muertes en todo el mundo1, aunque en realidad, las cifras reales como mínimo, resulten ser dos o tres veces mayores en ambos casos, haciéndonos recordar épocas pasadas terribles,  que en ocasiones llegaron a poner en peligro la misma existencia de la humanidad. En Costa Rica, para la misma fecha, podemos mencionar la nefasta herencia de 1´171.802 casos y 9.104 hogares que lloran la pérdida de uno de sus seres queridos como consecuencia de la acción del SARS CoV-2. Pero retroceder no significa desaparecer. El mundo científico está muy claro al afirmar que nadie puede descartar el surgimiento de nuevas variantes que den origen a otras olas pandémicas, o bien, la aparición de novedosos agentes causales, que desaten en el mundo, epidemias y pandemias, quizás más contagiosas y aún, más letales que las actuales.
