Los conceptos modelamiento, modelo y simulación están muy relacionados con el concepto de identificación.
Modelamiento y simulación son actividades que nos conducen a la determinación del Modelo de objeto real observado o a la conformación del Modelo de algún objeto hipotético. Es decir, son actividades orientadas hacia un fin igual al problema de la identificación. Estas actividades-proceso tienen, sin embargo, sus características propias y emplean también distintas técnicas.
Parametric study of direct filling system of medium-head navigation locks
Authors: Kašpar Tomáš , Fošumpaur Pavel , Králík Martin , Zukal Milan
Published: April 2021

As part of the research focusing on the safety of vessels during the lockage in navigation locks, two different 1D numerical modeling approaches were tested. These approaches are used to determine the force effects on vessels during the direct filling process of the navigation lock. These numerical models were verified using data measured on a physical model. Using the selected 1D model, a parametric study focusing on the impact of the basic parameters of the navigation lock including the lifting velocity of the gates on the maximum hawser forces was performed. The research has shown that with a suitable design of the upper gate, the direct filling system may also be used for medium-head navigation locks with a normal lift of up to 5 m.

Examining the Human Security Challenges Emanating from the Weaponisation of Women. A Case study of Boko Haram and the Islamic State 2001-2018
Authors: Sempijja Norman , Olebogeng-Mongale Collin
Published: April 2021

The post-cold war period has witnessed an evolution in the nature of conflict from the new wars of the 1990s to asymmetric conflicts involving the weaponisation of civilians. This has achieved the twin objective of operating within the ranks of the combatants (in the case of women) as wives and child-bearers of the fighters, and inflicting harm on adversaries through suicide attacks. The weaponisation of women in the case of the wars in Syria and Nigeria has therefore elicited both human security challenges for the communities being targeted, and for the weaponised women. The biggest dilemma facing states of origin has been whether to accept the weaponised women’s return and rehabilitate them or declare them stateless. There has been a clear tendency to securitise them, especially when internal political dynamics are factored in. This qualitative study uses a case study approach to delve into the human security challenges emanating from the weaponisation of women in the case of Boko Haram and the Islamic State between 2001 and 2018. The paper further relies on content analysis to delve deeper into the discourse on human security. Through the use of a human security conceptual framework and securitisation theory, the paper argues that although once weaponised, some women become human security threats to targeted communities, and also face human security challenges during and after the insurgency, there is a need to deal with the women on a case-by-case basis rather than pursuing a blanket policy of securitising them. States need to work with international organisations to action processes aimed at delivering justice, demobilisation, rehabilitation, and the reintegration of these women. This will uphold international law and respect for human rights.

Published: April 2021

The appearance of phosphatidylserine, an aminophospholipid normally confined to the inner monolayer, at the outer leaflet of red cell membrane may have several pathophysiologic implications. This study examines erythrocyte phosphatidylserine exposure in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients on conservative treatment or on dialysis, to assess possible alterations to phospholipid asymmetry in a condition associated with a state of deranged red cell function. A significant increase in phosphatidylserine-expressing erythrocytes was found in undialyzed patients with CRF (2.32%) and patients on hemodialysis (3.06%) and on peritoneal dialysis (2.14%) compared with control subjects (0.68%). In undialyzed CRF patients, a strong correlation (r = 0.903) was found between the percentage of phosphatidylserine-expressing red cells and the serum creatinine concentration. The increased exposure of phosphatidylserine in uremic erythrocytes may be due to inhibition of phosphatidylserine transport from the outer to the inner leaflet of plasma membrane and may promote an increased erythrophagocytosis. In reconstitution experiments, normal erythrocytes showed an increase in phosphatidylserine-expressing cells when incubated in uremic plasma (3.2% after 2 h versus 1.1% at beginning of incubation), whereas phosphatidylserine-positive uremic erythrocytes decreased when resuspended in normal plasma (2.03% after 2 h and 1.65% after 8 h versus 2.9% at beginning of incubation). Preliminary characterization of the putative uremic compound(s) indicates a molecular weight between 10,000 and 20,000, as well as heat instability. These findings show an impairment of erythrocyte membrane phospholipid asymmetry in CRF patients, regardless of the dialysis treatment. Such abnormality seems related to the uremic state and could contribute to the red cell pathology present in CRF.

Lipid peroxidation was shown at the membrane level in peripheral blood cells of patients hemodialyzed on cuprophan dialyzers, and was mainly attributable to the generation of conjugated hydroperoxides in the lipid bilayer. The oxidative index (i.e., the A234/205 ratio) of membrane lipids was 3.2-fold higher in hemodialysis patients than in healthy control subjects, and also the level of leukotriene B4 was significantly increased (up to 1.7-fold over control). Both membrane peroxidation and release of leukotriene B4 were linked to upregulation of 5-lipoxygenase activity (up to 2.4-fold over control) and expression at the protein level (up to 1.9-fold). Vitamin E, the most important lipophilic antioxidant, prevented both membrane peroxidation and release of leukotriene B4 by inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase activity without affecting enzyme expression. Similar results were observed in patients hemodialyzed on polymethylmetacrylate membranes, but in this case the activation of 5-lipoxygenase was less pronounced. The use of a purified 5-lipoxygenase demonstrated that vitamin E was a reversible inhibitor of enzyme activity (IC50 = 35 ± 4 μM), further characterized as noncompetitive (Ki = 30 ± 3 μM). Taken together, the results reported here shed some light on the mechanism responsible for the oxidative damage in hemodialysis. Moreover, the beneficial effect of vitamin E described here may have relevance for the therapy of patients with kidney disease.

Experiments were performed to test the hypothesis that diabetes mellitus disrupts the balance between synthesis and degradation of nitric oxide (NO) in the renal cortex. Diabetes was induced by injection of streptozotocin, and sufficient insulin was provided to maintain moderate hyperglycemia for the ensuing 2 wk. Despite an 80% increase in total NO synthase activity measured by L-citrulline assay, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-diaphorase staining was unaltered, and no changes in NO synthase isoform protein levels or their distribution were evident in renal cortex from diabetic rats. Superoxide anion production was accelerated twofold in renal cortical slices from diabetic rats, with an associated 50% increase in superoxide dismutase activity. Western blots prepared by use of a monoclonal antinitrotyrosine antibody revealed an approximately 70-kD protein in renal cortex from sham rats, the nitrotyrosine content of which was threefold greater in cortical samples from diabetic rats. These observations indicate that the early stage of diabetes mellitus provokes accelerated renal cortical superoxide anion production in a setting of normal or increased NO production. This situation can be expected to promote peroxynitrite formation, resulting in the tyrosine nitration of a single protein of unknown identity, as well as a decline in the bioavailability of NO. These events are consistent with the postulate that oxidative stress promotes NO degradation in the renal cortex during the early stage of diabetes mellitus.
Involvement of the Activin-Follistatin System in Tubular Regeneration after Renal Ischemia in Rats

Published: April 2021

This study was conducted to investigate the involvement of the activin-follistatin system in renal regeneration after ischemic injury. Expression of mRNA for the activin βA subunit was not detected in normal kidneys but increased markedly after renal ischemia. Immunoreactive βA subunit was detected in tubular cells of the outer medulla in ischemic but not normal kidneys. Expression of mRNA for follistatin, an antagonist of activin A, was abundant in tubular cells of the outer medulla in normal kidneys and decreased significantly after renal ischemia. For assessment of the role of the activin-follistatin system in renal regeneration after ischemic injury, recombinant follistatin was intravenously infused into rats with renal ischemia, at the time of reperfusion. Exogenous follistatin prevented the histologic changes induced by ischemic injury, reduced apoptosis in tubular cells, and accelerated tubular cell proliferation. Serum levels of creatinine and blood urea nitrogen were significantly lower in follistatin-treated rats. Conversely, intravenous administration of recombinant activin A inhibited tubular cell proliferation after ischemic injury. These results indicate that the activin-follistatin system participates in renal regeneration after ischemic injury. Follistatin administered intravenously accelerates renal regeneration after renal ischemia, presumably by blocking the actions of endogenous activin.

There are between 2 and 13 million Americans with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Recent reports suggest that their treatment is currently suboptimal. To further investigate this issue, patterns of practice for the treatment of patients with CKD who were enrolled in a large health maintenance organization in New Mexico were analyzed. Among the >200,000 patients who were enrolled in the health maintenance organization between 1994 and 1997, a cohort of 1658 patients who exhibited at least two gender-specific, elevated creatinine concentrations (Cr), separated by at least 90 d, were identified. The proportions of patients with Cr values of <2.0, 2.0 to 2.9, 3.0 to 3.9, and ≥4.0 mg/dl were 73, 17, 3, and 7%, respectively. The majority of patients were treated by a primary care physician until Cr values reached 3.0 mg/dl, at which time a nephrologist was consulted. Care tended to be transferred to the nephrologist when the Cr reached 4.0 mg/dl. Only 7.4% of patients received erythropoietin (EPO). Use of EPO increased as Cr increased. EPO was unlikely to be prescribed unless the patient had visited a nephrologist. Fewer than one half of all patients with CKD and fewer than 20% of patients with CKD with Cr values of ≥4.0 mg/dl received an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI). Nephrologists were not more likely to prescribe ACEI than were primary care physicians. Diabetic patients were more likely to receive ACEI than were nondiabetic patients, but ACEI use was quite low even among diabetic patients with CKD. The average number of hospitalizations per patient-year increased as Cr increased and was more than twice as high for patients with Cr values of ≥4.0 mg/dl, compared with those with Cr values of <2.0 mg/dl. The reasons for hospitalization were more likely to be related to comorbidities than to CKD itself, however. There are many opportunities to improve the care of patients with CKD. Better adherence to practices known to be of clinical benefit for patients with CKD not only will improve patient outcomes but also may reduce the costs of care. Providers, policy-makers, and payers should view CKD as a major public health problem and initiate innovative programs to address this growing patient population.

Infections are one of the most important complications of hemodialysis (HD). The high concentrations of adenosine (Ado) and of its metabolites during HD may contribute to the dialysis-induced immune deficiency through their known ability to alter lymphocyte function. The influence of HD on Ado metabolism was assessed in mononuclear cells through the measurement of (1) the concentrations of nucleosides in mononuclear cells and (2) the activities of mononuclear cell Ado deaminase (MCADA) and Ado kinase, two enzymes involved in Ado concentration regulation. Nine end-stage renal failure hemodialyzed patients (five men and four women; mean age, 69 ± 10 yr) and eight healthy volunteers (four men and four women; mean age, 53 ± 19 yr) were included in the study. Before HD, Ado, deoxyadenosine, and inosine concentrations were respectively 2.9-, 2.5-, and 2.5-fold higher in mononuclear cells of patients than in healthy volunteers. During HD, Ado concentration decreased by 34%, whereas inosine concentration increased by 27%. Before HD, MCADA activity level was 2.1-fold lower in patients than in control subjects. After HD, MCADA activity increased by nearly 50% but remained lower than in control subjects. Ado kinase activity level of patients did not differ from that of control subjects and was unchanged by HD. The influence of Ado on in vitro mononuclear cell proliferation and interferon-γ production also was evaluated. Ado inhibited cell proliferation and interferon-γ production in a dose-dependent manner, and these inhibitions were stronger for patients than for healthy volunteers. The high concentrations of Ado and deoxyadenosine in mononuclear cells and the low MCADA activity level likely are involved in the immune defect of patients who are undergoing HD.
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Is Essential for Hyperglycemia-Induced Structural and Functional Alterations of the Peritoneal Membrane

Published: April 2021

Long-term peritoneal dialysis is associated with the development of functional and structural alterations of the peritoneal membrane. Long-term exposure to the high glucose concentrations in conventional peritoneal dialysate has been implicated in the pathogenesis of peritoneal hyperpermeability and neoangiogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an endothelial-specific growth factor that potently stimulates microvascular permeability and proliferation. High glucose exposure upregulates VEGF expression in various cell types and tissues. This study investigated whether VEGF plays a pathogenetic role in hyperglycemia-induced microvascular dysfunction in the peritoneal membrane. The peritoneal microcirculation of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and age-matched controls was studied in vivo with a combination of functional and morphologic techniques. The diabetic microcirculation was characterized by an elevated transport of small solutes, indicating the presence of an increased effective vascular surface area. The leakage of FITC-albumin was more rapid in diabetic vessels, suggesting hyperpermeability for macromolecules. Structurally, an increased vascular density with focal areas of irregular capillary budding was found in the diabetic peritoneum. The hyperglycemia-induced structural and functional microvascular alterations were prevented by long-term treatment with neutralizing anti-VEGF monoclonal antibodies, whereas treatment with isotype-matched control antibodies had no effect. VEGF blockade did not influence microvascular density or macromolecular leakage in control rats, demonstrating specificity for the hyperglycemia-induced alterations. The present results thus support an causative link among high glucose exposure, upregulation of VEGF, and peritoneal microvascular dysfunction.
Peculiarities of information transfer within functional cortical network during emotional face perception
Authors: Chernykh M. , Zyma I.
Published: April 2021

Aim: The research aimed to study and model the emotion-related activity of functional networks within the human brain cortex using power spectrum density and detrended phase transfer entropy methods. Attention was focused on revealing alterations in cognitive mechanisms, caused by presentation of neutral human faces as rare stimuli among faces with either negative or positive expression. Methods: EEG-data was recorded during the perception and processing of neutral human facial expressions, presented among positive and negative faces in two series of images, alongside with resting state with open and closed eyes, which was further analyzed using power spectrum density and detrended phase transfer entropy methods. Results: Specific EEG-bands (θ and β) were chosen for the analysis based on their prominent role in memory- and emotion-related mechanisms. The topography of the spectral power density corresponded to the generally accepted ideas describing perception and visual stimuli processing mechanisms. The phase transfer entropy method was not sufficient to analyze resting state data. The results of the analysis performed using the phase transfer entropy method revealed the problems of neutral faces differentiation when presented in a positive emotional context. Simultaneously, enhanced processes of motivational coding and self-reflection were observed during the presentation of neutral faces in a negative emotional context. These results corresponded with the data obtained in our previous ERP-based study. Conclusions: Phase transfer entropy and spectral power density have demonstrated their effectiveness in analyzing the mechanisms of emotional visual stimuli processing mediated in different cortical areas.
Influence of Pholiota spp. (Strophariaceae, Basidiomycote) mycelial biomass on seed germination and seedlings growth of Lepidum sativum L. and Cucumis sativus L.
Authors: Regeda L. , Bisko N. , Al-Maali G.
Published: April 2021

Basidiomycetes represent a very diverse group of eukaryotic organisms in terms physiological parameters. Some organisms such as plants or fungi release certain secondary metabolites, which can affect the organisms around them. Some of the substances released by mushrooms could have effects on the growth and further development of nearby plants. Studies of fungi and their biologically active components have grown significantly, with the aim of potential introduction to various biotechnological processes.The allelopathic effect of Pholiota species has been investigated in this study. Mycelial biomass of seven screened Pholiota species were tested to study cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and lettuce (Lepidium sativum L.) seed germination and the sprouting growth. The results of our experiment showed that the biomass of the species of the genus Pholiota did not affect the germination of seeds of both plant species. 100% seed germination was recorded in both control and experimental samples. The addition of mycelial biomass of the Pholiota species led to a suppressive allelopathic effect, which affects seed germination, the length of the studied plant (both shoots and roots), as well as changes the morphology of the roots (pubescence, changes in lateral roots). The inhibitory effect on sprouting length was 8,6%-87,1% in the case of C. sativus and 42,2%-91,8% if specify for L. sativum in depence on Pholiota species. Allelopathic properties of Pholiota subochracea, where sprouting growth ratio did not exceed 12.9%, compared to the control group, should be noted. This result suggests that Pholiota mushrooms have a significant regulatory
effect on lettuce and cucumber sprouting growth. The given results suggest that the studied species may play a significant role in relationships within ecosystems.

La región mediterránea es un área escasamente resiliente y especialmente sensible a los riesgos naturales. Para el caso concreto de las inundaciones, la Comisión Europea incide en la necesidad de reforzar el estudio y conocimiento de sus particularidades territoriales para mejorar su análisis y gestión. Aquí, más que en ninguna otra región, el Cambio Global ha tenido, y previsiblemente seguirá teniendo en las próximas décadas, una incidencia muy notable. El presente trabajo se plantea como objetivo principal la caracterización territorial de las cuencas fluviales del litoral mediterráneo español, enfocada a la identificación de soluciones para la mejora del análisis y gestión de las inundaciones. La metodología se ha apoyado tanto en análisis bibliográfico como empíricos, y concluye como principales resultados la necesidad de reajustar el estudio de inundabilidad incorporando peligrosidades asociadas que se condicionan bidireccional y sinérgicamente entre sí, y la idoneidad de trabajar no solo con áreas receptoras de inundabilidad, sino también con áreas causantes, reforzando la gestión preventiva ya desde el análisis de la peligrosidad. Estas incorporaciones mejorarían el conocimiento de las magnitudes reales de la inundación en el contexto mediterráneo, lo que sería de gran utilidad tanto en el planeamiento del sector como en la posterior gestión.

La primera silla cantilever de tubo de acero curvado fue diseñada por Mart Stam hacia 1926. Un año después Mies van der Rohe exhibió en la Weissenhofsiedlung la MR10 perfeccionando su flexibilidad. Marcel Breuer reclamó con posterioridad la paternidad dando como resultado varias demandas y pleitos bien estudiados por la historiografía internacional. Sin embargo, los ejemplares españoles no han merecido aún tanta atención. Se vendieron en España a finales de los años veinte a través de importadores de marcas extranjeras. A principios de los treinta ya se producían ejemplares en talleres nacionales. En las líneas que siguen se han recopilado algunos de estos modelos tanto versiones como originales realizados por fabricantes y diseñadores locales. Las versiones españolas plantean aún dificultades de atribución, tanto en lo referente a sus autorías, a las fechas de producción, como a las fábricas donde se hacían. En este artículo se aportan nuevos datos sobre esta cuestión.

El presente artículo aborda la influencia mística en la obra literaria de Juan Benet. Es un aspecto crucial para entender el deseo de los protagonistas de sus novelas de volver al origen y de recomenzar la historia frente a la ruindad de un mundo en guerra y en destrucción. Es un anhelo, por supuesto, frustrado por la cruel realidad que les rodea de guerra, de ruinas y de destrucción física y moral. Esto se puede apreciar sobre todo en novelas tales como Volverás a Región, Una meditación, Un viaje de invierno o Saúlante Samuel y en su libro de ensayos El ángel del señor abandona a Tobías.This article is about mystical influence in the literary works of Juan Benet. This is a crucial aspect so as to understand the desire of the protagonists of his novels to return to the origin and to start over history against the evilness of a world in war and in destruction. Of course, it is a longing which has been frustrated by the cruel reality which surrounds them, with war, ruins, and physical and moral destruction. All this is obvious in such novels as Return to Region, A Meditation, A Winter Trip and Saul Facing Samueland in his book of essays The Angel of the Lord Abandons Tobit.

A través del análisis de la primera narración del «malvado varón» de El curioso y sabio Alejandro, juez y fiscal de vidas ajenas, de Alonso Jerónimo de Salas Barbadillo, se intentará desvelar la sátira política que se esconde detrás del primer retrato que avanza la apariencia de una Corte farsante. La materia satírico-cortesana representada en la voracidad del glotón «Panza dichosa», marcado por su final desnutrición, representaría, asimismo, la imagen decaída de una Corte infernal en la que Salas parece dirigirse directamente al monarca. Through the analysis of the first narration of the «malvado varón» in El curioso y sabio Alejandro, juez y fiscal de vidas ajenas, by Alonso Jerónimo de Salas Barbadillo, an attempt will be made to reveal the political satire that hides behind the first portrait that advances the appearance of a deceptive Court. The satirical-courteous matter represented in the voracity of the gluttonous «Panza dichosa», marked by its final malnutrition, would also represent the decayed image of a hellish Court in which Salas seems to address the monarch directly.

Uno de los testimonios conocidos de las dos coplas póstumas de Jorge Manrique es el pliego suelto recientemente descubierto que se atribuye a Rodrigo Osorio, con seguridad el antígrafo de donde estas pasaron al Cancionero general de 1535. El estudio de este pliego permite acercarnos a una identificación de su autor y a los ambientes en que fue escrito y a la vez se convierte en un testimonio privilegiado para conocer el impacto de Manrique sobre la producción poética de principios del siglo XV. One of the known witnesses of the two posthumous stanzas of the Coplas by Jorge Manrique is a chap-book recently discovered, attributed to Rodrigo Osorio, in all probability the antigraph from which they were taken for the 1535 edition of the Cancionero general. By studying this chap-book we discover the identity of its author and the circumstances in which it was written. At the same time, it becomes a preferred witness to understand the influence that Manrique had on early sixteenth-century poetry.

Background: All the patients with diabetic nephropathy have inherent hypertension and uncontrolled hypertension leads to deterioration in the kidney disease speedily. Aims and objectives were to analyze the prescription of antihypertensive agents in the treatment of hypertension in diabetic nephropathy patients on hemodialysis.Methods: The study was conducted on diabetic nephropathy patients on maintenance hemodialysis, in Sri Aurobindo Institute of Medical Sciences, Indore (M.P.). We had included 73 diabetic nephropathy patients on maintenance hemodialysis, who provided their consent for participation in the study. Pearson coefficient of correlation was used for finding the correlation. Unpaired ‘t’ test was applied for intergroup mean comparison. A p value of<0.05 was taken as statistically significant.Results: Total 73 diabetic nephropathy patients were included, with 80.8% being males. Mean age was 57.74±8.44 years. Mean duration of dialysis was 32.06±35.84 months. Calcium channel blockers was given in 91.8% patients, followed by beta blockers in 61.6%. Other antihypertensives used had lower prevalence. 65.8% patients required combination of 1-3 antihypertensives, 24.7% required 4-5 antihypertensives for control of hypertension. The mean number of antihypertensive medications was comparable between the two genders (p>0.05). An inverse and statistically not significant correlation was seen between duration of dialysis; age and use of multiple antihypertensive medications (p>0.05).Conclusions: A strong association has been reported by many between hypertension and diabetic nephropathy. It is imperative that hypertension is well controlled in all the patients of diabetic nephropathy. This will slow down the progression of kidney disease and improve the quality of life in patients with diabetic nephropathy.
