Prospects of polyglycolic acid sheets for the treatment of esophageal stricture after esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection
Authors: Wang Qing-Xia , Shi Rui-Hua
Published: January 2024

Esophageal cancer is the seventh most common type of cancer and the sixth leading cause of cancer -related mortality worldwide. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is widely used for the resection of early esophageal cancer. However, post-ESD esophageal stricture is a common long-term complication, which requires attention. Patients with post-ESD esophageal stricture often experience dysphagia and require multiple dilatations, which greatly affects their quality of life and increases healthcare costs. Therefore, to manage post-ESD esophageal stricture, researchers are actively exploring various strategies, such as pharmaceutical interventions, endoscopic balloon dilation, and esophageal stenting. Although steroids-based therapy has achieved some success, steroids can lead to complications such as osteoporosis and infection. Meanwhile, endoscopic balloon dilatation is effective in the short term, but is prone to recurrence and perforation. Additionally, esophageal stenting can alleviate the stricture, but is associated with discomfort during stenting and the complication of easy displacement also present challenges. Tissue engineering has evolved rapidly in recent years, and hydrogel materials have good biodegradability and biocompatibility. A novel type of polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheets has been found to be effective in preventing esophageal stricture after ESD, with the advantages of a simple operation and low complication rate. PGA membranes act as a biophysical barrier to cover the wound as well as facilitate the delivery of medications to promote wound repair and healing. However, there is still a lack of multicenter, large-sample randomized controlled clinical studies focused on the treatment of post-ESD esophageal strictures with PGA membrane, which will be a promising direction for future advancements in this field.
Estimating Tire Pressure Based on Different Tire Temperature
Measurement Points
Authors: Hyttinen Jukka , Ussner Matthias , Österlöf Rickard , Jerrelind Jenny , Drugge Lars
Published: January 2024

Knowing the tire pressure during driving is essential since it affects multiple
tire properties such as rolling resistance, uneven wear, and how prone the tire
is to tire bursts. Tire temperature and cavity pressure are closely tied to each
other; a change in tire temperature will cause an alteration in tire cavity
pressure. This article gives insights into which tire temperature measurement
position is representative enough to estimate pressure changes inside the tire,
and whether the pressure changes can be assumed to be nearly isochoric. Climate
wind tunnel and road measurements were conducted where tire pressure and
temperature at the tire inner liner, the tire shoulder, and the tread surface
were monitored. The measurements show that tires do not have a uniform
temperature distribution. The ideal gas law is used to estimate the tire
pressure from the measured temperatures. The results indicate that of the
compared temperature points, the inner liner temperature is the most accurate
for estimating tire pressure changes (average error 0.63%), and the pressure
changes during driving are nearly isochoric. This conclusion can be drawn
because the ratio between inner liner temperature and tire pressure is nearly
constant, and the pressure can be simulated well using the isochoric gas
law.

Published: January 2024

This study was planned and completed to reveal the bryophyte flora of the Aydın Mountains. A total of 268 bryophytes were identified from the research area, of which 216 taxa belong to Bryophyta, 51 taxa belong to Marchantiophyta and one taxon belongs to Anthocerotophyta. Acaulon mediterraneum Limpr. has been recorded for the second time for Turkish bryophyte flora. Among liverworts, Riccia (17 taxa), and among mosses, Didymodon (13 taxa), Tortula (13 taxa), Grimmia (12 taxa), Syntrichia (12 taxa), Orthotrichum (11 taxa), Ptychostomum (10 taxa), Fissidens (9 taxa) and Lewinskya (7 taxa) were found as the richest genera. In addition, different habitats in Aydın Mountains and bryophytes representing these habitats were determined, as well. The study of a large mountain range which was not known for bryophytes in Western Anatolia has filled a significant gap in this area.

Authors: Nihayah Sholihun , Prabawa Abi Fa'izzarahman
Published: January 2024

Parenting styles have a significant impact on the formation of a child's mental health. An upbeat parenting style contributes to positive mental health, while a less favorable one may increase the risk of anxiety disorders. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) counseling using Istigfar therapy to reduce anxiety levels. The research design is a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design involving three students selected through purposive sampling criteria of high anxiety and Islamic faith. The research instrument uses an anxiety scale adapted from Holmes's theory (1991) with 33 items and reliability (.874). The results indicate that CBT counseling using Istigfar therapy is effective in reducing anxiety levels due to strict parenting styles (p = .002; p < .05).
Stress and Coping among Parents of Preterm Infants Admitted to Neonatal Care |Units of Central Hospitals of Nepal
Authors: Shrestha Tumla , Pandey Bista Archana , Subedi Madhusudan
Published: January 2024

Background: Hospitalization in neonatal care units (NCUs) is distressing to parents. Stress and inadequate coping with the situation hinder parents' emotional health and parenting roles. The dearth of information is available about it in Nepali context. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore the stress and coping strategies of parents of PTIs in NCUs.

Methods: The descriptive phenomenological study was conducted in NCUs of three public tertiary hospitals in Kathmandu Nepal. In-person in-depth interviews were conducted among the purposively selected 15 parents of preterm and low birth weight infants admitted to NCUs. The obtained data were analyzed using the content analysis method.

Findings: Two themes emerged namely psychological distress and insecurity and coping with the support system. Their distress was related to the condition and progress of their PTIs, infant-parent separation, altered parenting roles, and the burden of longer hospitalization. Family, friends, other parents, and staff of NCUs were their support sources. They coped with the situation with religious faith, patience, sharing with peer parents, being close with the PTIs, and involving in PTI care.

Conclusion: Admission of PTIs to NCUs is distressing to parents. In addition, to support from family and friends, parents valued NCU staffs' support for coping and expected more support. Opportunities for infant-parent attachment, care involvement and peer-to-peer support are their effective coping measures. Improving parental support provision in NCUs considering the stressors and effective coping measures would be praiseworthy to enhance the psychological well-being of the parents
Modernidad y Ars Vivendi
Authors: Raga Rosaleny Vicente
Published: January 2024

La interpretación usual de la Modernidad es la de una época de cambio radical por respecto a los modelos tradicionales de pensamiento, en la filosofía, en las ciencias o en las artes. En ese sentido, se habría producido una revolución, del Renacimiento en adelante, que dejó atrás los saberes de la Antigüedad, y esto parece claro en el caso de la concepción del pensamiento filosófico como ars vivendi que, supuestamente, se hundió en el olvido hasta prácticamente nuestros días. No obstante, si se atiende a la obra de autores como Michel de Montaigne o René Descartes es posible encontrar una propuesta de filosofía como forma de vida distintivamente moderna. En el primer caso, Montaigne puede parecer simplemente un heredero de los pensadores griegos y romanos, pero su filosofía vital se separa claramente del arte de vivir de la Antigüedad. En el segundo, quizá el más claro ejemplo de un filósofo en apariencia desinteresado por cuestiones morales, encontramos también una novedosa propuesta de ars vivendi, donde el conocimiento y el cuidado de sí continúan tan vigentes como en los clásicos, aunque todo se diga de otra manera.
Análisis filosófico de las Fake News como actos comunicativos intencionales y uso de la economía experimental como fact-checking
Authors: García Bouza Alba
Published: January 2024

Las fake news se suelen caracterizar como contenidos, de modo que prevalece el planteamiento semántico. Aquí se propone un enfoque pragmático, donde son actos comunicativos intencionales. Esto permite entender las fake news desde los actos locucionarios, ilocucionarios y perlocucionarios. Esta triple versión de intencionalidad comunicativa permite una mejor intelección de la mala información (misinformation) y de la desinformación (disinformation), que se refleja con claridad en el caso económico.Para mitigar o neutralizar los daños causados por las fake news en el tejido social, se suele recomendar la contrastación de hechos (fact checking). La contribución de la Economía Experimental —y, en concreto, la aportación de Alvin Roth (Premio Nobel de Economía 2012)— puede ser especialmente relevante en dos direcciones: (a) la actividad económica y (b) la Economía como actividad entrelazada con otras. Esto supone el contrastar hechos partiendo de la intencionalidad en la actividad económica, en cuanto tal y en su nexo con otras actividades humanas. A este respecto, las fake news convergen con la toma de decisiones económicas, en cuanto que ambas están surcadas por la intencionalidad y, además, tienen lugar en un contexto donde adquieren un perfil orientado a fines.
Maneras de pensar, maneras de vivir
Authors: Arenas-Dolz Francisco
Published: January 2024

La idea de que la filosofía no es un mero ejercicio teórico y abstracto, sino una práctica transformadora que incide en la vida misma y en la construcción de valores, se encuentra en la concepción antigua de la filosofía como arte de vivir (ars vitae o ars vivendi) y en sus desarrollos modernos y contemporáneos. Distintos autores y tradiciones, desde Epicuro y Séneca, Montaigne y Gracián, Schopenhauer y Nietzsche, Heidegger y Sartre, Fromm y Foucault hasta Sloterdijk y Butler, han ofrecido múltiples caracterizaciones de la filosofía del arte de vivir –forma de vida, ejercicio, terapia del alma, cuidado de sí, camino de perfección, pensamiento crítico y creativo, estética de la existencia, búsqueda del sentido, antropotécnica– y han desarrollado conceptos tales como los de compasión, reconocimiento, autenticidad, libertad o autocreación para entender el mundo y desarrollar formas éticas de actuar con sabiduría.

Authors: Atoyan Vardan , Brosius Logan , Hovyan Vahram
Published: January 2024

The article examines the characteristic features of Armenian national security strategies, actively conducting research of an interdisciplinary nature with extensive use of systems analysis. Issues of stability of the political system of Armenia in the interests of national security are considered not only from the point of view of the general theory of systems, but also using the methodological principles of synergetics. An independent section of research was the study of regional conflicts in the post-Soviet space and their impact on the state of national security of Armenia. In this context, traditional international relations theory offers tools for analyzing the previous actions of states within a broader framework and deciding on further actions.
The present article seeks to provide simple textual comparisons and analyses of the Republic of Armenia’s National Security Strategies of 2007 and 2020. Those elements within the Strategies which have remained, changed, or been added will then be made the subject of contextual analyses with the theoretical traditions of liberalism, realism, and Marxism to draw out the Republic of Armenia’s major priorities and assess the capability of its approaches to meeting the foreign policy problems that exist. Each theory of international relations will emphasize those positions in the National Security Strategies that most accurately reflect Armenia’s past and current positions, and evaluate them in accordance with global and regional standards.
Decision-making: The Process Contributing to Professional Public Administration
Authors: Altunyan Katerina
Published: January 2024

This article analysis one of the main issues of public administration theory and practice, which is helpful in government functioning and policy-making. Research study includes the discourse on how to plan and make decisions on behalf of democratic attitude. Public administration is utmost outcome, and the success or failure of the government depends on it. Theoretical debate on decision-making process, accordingly, surveys the fundamental perception on rational and incremental decision-making processes. It refers basically to the administrative institutions. Decision making is important for organizational effectiveness because of its central role in the overall process of directing and controlling. Decisions do not automatically guarantee all programmed outcomes, but denoting actions with professionalism and public support. As a valuable process it is likely to be a central element of management and leadership. Comparative study of examples of developed democratic systems shows the high responsibility of public institutes and government as key actors. Particular attention is paid there to the professionalism of government, which is a vital characteristic of any democratic public administration and virtually a policy quality. Findings of current research shows that decisions are not based solely on laws and regulations. Moreover, as the study shows, many other appropriate skills of decision-makers are important that will be seen with the close linkages with strategic governance.
THE ROLE OF FREE AMINO ACIDS IN MAINTAINANCE OF THE OSMOTIC HOMEOSTASIS OF FISHES
Authors: Filippova A.
Published: January 2024

This article is a review of the data presented in literature describing the roles of free amino acids and dipeptides in maintenance of osmotic homeostasis in following groups of lower vertebrates: hagfishes, lampreys, elasmobranchs, sturgeons and bony fishes. The emphasis is made on the role of former metabolites as “compatible osmolytes”. Those are small organic metabolites preserving biological function and native structure of macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids under action of high ionic power. Mechanism of this biological action is briefly described. Evolution of the main osmoregulatory strategies in lower vertebrates is briefly considered. The role of amino acids as energy sources helping to cover elevated demands of the organism during osmotic stress and the role of building blocks for synthesis of protein ionic channels, hormones, enzymes etc. participating in salinity coping strategies of the organism are also discussed. Amino acids playing the main role in osmotic adjustments of marine elasmobranchs are: taurine, beta-alanine, sarcosine, followed by glycine, alanine and proline. In freshwater elasmobranchs beta-alanine, taurine, proline, glycine, glutamine and glutamate can be used. In sturgeons main amino acids in osmoregulation can be glycine, beta-alanine, taurine, glutamate, glutamine. Finally, bony fishes use mainly taurine, proline, glycine, alanine, in particular species such as Monopterus albus – glutamine as compatible osmolytes. Bony fishes also use sarcosine, alanine, methionine, glutamate, aspartate as metabolic precursors of amino acid osmolytes. The role of dipeptides such as carnosine, anserine and dipeptide lysine-proline is controversial and requires further investigations.

Published: January 2024

The study of some parameters of nonspecific humoral and cellular immunity in sexually mature bream of the Saratov Reservoir was carried out. The fish were caught by bottom trawl in September 2019 during a complex hydrobiological expedition aboard the R/V “Akademik Topchiev” organized by the Papanin Institute for Biology of Inland Waters, Russian Academy of Sciences. Trawling operations were performedt at three standard stations: 1 – Shiroky Buerak, 2 – Khvalynsk, 3 – Kashpir Rudnik. The first two stations were located in the lower reaches of the reservoir and the third one was in the central part. Fish blood was sampled from the tail vein to obtain serum and prepare smears for phagocytic activity of neutrophils. After autopsy, pieces of immunocompetent organs (kidney, spleen and liver) were also taken from the fish in dry sterile tubes. The level of antimicrobial properties and C-reactive protein of blood serum, nonspecific immune complexes in kidney, spleen and liver tissues were studied, the proportion of immunodeficient individuals and phagocytic activity of neutrophils were determined. The study established quantitative indicators of humoral and cellular immunity of bream of the Saratov Reservoir. The comparative analysis showed significant differences in antimicrobial properties of blood serum and the content of non-enzymatic cationic protein in lysosomes of neutrophils of peripheral blood in bream from the central part and the lower reaches of the reservoir. Fish caught in the central part of the reservoir were characterized by high level of bactericidal activity of blood serum and low level of phagocytic activity of neutrophils. The majority of the studied individuals had a positive level of C-reactive protein and unreliable differences in the content of IR in tissues and organs. The revealed differences are probably caused by the impact of different environmental factors on the bream organism.

Published: January 2024

This study discusses the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in a public policy perspective. Various policy issues arose during the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially the criminal exemption from the use of state money in handling COVID-19. This article uses a public policy theory approach and qualitative methods. The results of the study show that various policy making processes for handling the COVID 19 pandemic are less effective. Apart from not being based on people's aspirations, various elite groups also take advantage of the pandemic situation to gain financial benefits from handling COVID 19, especially in terms of determining state budget allocations in various sectors that do not prioritize public health protection. The rules of science are not become the basis for policy making during the COVID 19 pandemic. As a result, various policies are not in line with community needs, namely protection and effective health services, so theoretically, various policy making for handling the COVID 19 pandemic lacks strong academic arguments.

Studi ini membahas penanganan pandemi COVID 19 dalam perspektif kebijakan publik. Berbagai masalah kebijakan timbul selama penanganan pandemi COVID 19, terutama pengecualian pidana penggunaan uang negara dalam penanganan COVID 19. Artikel ini menggunakan pendekatan teori kebijakan publik dan metode kualitatif. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa berbagai proses pembuatan kebijakan penanganan pandemi COVID 19 kurang efektif. Selain tidak bertumpu pada aspirasi masyarakat, juga berbagai kepentingan kelompok elite memanfaatkan situasi pandemi untuk memperoleh keuntungan finansial di balik penanganan COVID 19, terutama dalam hal penetapan alokasi anggaran belanja negara di berbagai sektor yang kurang memberi keutamaan pada perlindungan kesehatan masyarakat. Kaidah-kaidah ilmu pengetahuan tidak menjadi dasar pembuatan kebijakan di masa pandemi COVID 19, akibatnya berbagai kebijakan kurang sejalan dengan kebutuhan masyarakat, yakni perlindungan dan layanan kesehatan yang efektif, maka secara teoritis berbagai pembuatan kebijakan penanganan pandemi COVID 19 kurang mempunyai argumentasi akademik yang kuat.

Authors: Yagüe Ballester Rafael , Zurita Solís Myriam Katherine
Published: January 2024

Antecedentes: las lesiones cervicales no cariosas son multifactoriales, la acción de los ácidos, abrasivos y cargas mecánicas a distancia del sitio de la lesión. Se requiere explicar cómo es el mecanismo de acción de cargas a distancia. Este estudio propuso evaluar la penetración de nitrato de plata 10%, al esmalte de especímenes sometidos o no a cargas cíclicas. Método: se cortaron 60 incisivos bovinos en paralelepípedos 3x3x8,2 mm con entalle en la dentina de 2x2 mm, se los protegió del nitrato con barniz, excepto una faja de esmalte de 1,5x5 mm, se aplicó 1200 ciclos mecánicos de tensión o compresión, con 5 s de carga de 40 N y 25 s sin carga, un grupo control no recibió carga ni exposición al trazador, otro control recibió exposición al trazador sin carga, para localizar el trazador fueron radiografiados, tomografiados y observados en lupa a luz reflejada y transmitida. Resultados: las radiografías solo marcaron la mayor concentración del trazador, la microtomografía fue ineficaz dados los artefactos formados, la observación en lupa indicó variaciones en la coloración natural del esmalte, los especímenes expuestos al trazador presentaron una camada fina de infiltración y variaciones en el patrón de penetración. Este inconveniente para identificar si existió o no bombeamiento, podría explicarse por diferencias en la velocidad y profundidad del esmalte de las distintas moléculas como los ácidos. Conclusiones: el trazador penetró el esmalte sin diferencias de patrón de penetración en los grupos, la hipótesis de circulación forzada requiere nuevos estudios.

Introducción: La pancreatitis necrotizante es una complicación de la pancreatitis aguda en el 12% a 25% de los casos. El presente análisis buscó identificar los procedimientos más efectivos y beneficiosos en la actualidad para el manejo de esta complicación. Metodología: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica sistemática en las bases de datos “PubMed”, “Google Académico”, “Cochrane” y “MedScape”, seleccionando artículos publicados entre los años 2015 y 2017, de tipo retrospectivo, realizados en pacientes con pancreatitis necrotizante. Resultados: Se incluyeron 8 estudios de los 35 finalmente revisados. El 65,12% de los casos demuestran que se debe iniciar con una intervención mínimamente invasiva antes de recurrir a la necrosectomía abierta; el 55.9% de los casos coinciden que hay mayores ventajas en cuanto al “enfoque escalonado”; y en el 27.67%, se evidencia que el “enfoque de 4 pasos” es efectivo y redujo los riegos y complicaciones en comparación a otras estrategias. En el 9,22% de los casos la necrosectomía abierta tuvo mayores complicaciones que el procedimiento mínimamente invasivo, coincidiendo con el hecho de que en el 30,81% de los casos, el puntaje de Marshall, síndrome de disfunción multiorgánica, infección respiratoria preoperatoria, sepsis, síndrome de respuesta inflamatoria sistémica preoperatorio y aumento de los niveles de proteína C reactiva, están asociados a complicaciones posoperatorias. Conclusiones: Para el manejo de la pancreatitis necrotizante se debería iniciar en la primera fase con tratamiento convencional y antibióticos únicamente en caso de infección. En la segunda fase, si el paciente se complica, se realizará el enfoque escalonado (preferentemente, enfoque de 4 pasos). Si falla, se recurrirá a la necrosectomía abierta con empaque cerrado, siempre considerando las posibles complicaciones de este procedimiento.
Sumario de las recomendaciones del Consenso de las Sociedades Científicas Españolas para la utilización de la ventilación no invasiva y terapia de alto flujo en adultos y niños con insuficiencia respiratoria aguda grave

El soporte respiratorio no invasivo (SRNI) comprende dos modalidades de tratamiento, la ventilación mecánica no invasiva (VMNI) y la terapia de alto flujo con cánula nasal (TAFCN) que se aplican en pacientes adultos, pediátricos y neonatales con insuficiencia respiratoria aguda (IRA). Sin embargo, el grado de acuerdo entre las distintas especialidades sobre las recomendaciones y el beneficio de estas técnicas en diferentes escenarios clínicos es controvertido. Para la clasificación del grado de acuerdo, los expertos de las sociedades científicas españolas adoptaron un sistema analógico de clasificación para expresar con claridad si el procedimiento relacionado con el SRNI debe hacerse, puede hacerse o no debe hacerse. Presentamos un resumen práctico para el clínico a implementarse a pie de leche; se excluyen de este resumen a los pacientes neonatales.

Introduction. There are about 2,900 settlements in the Leningrad Region, the centralized water supply of most of which is based on the underground aquifers’ exploitation, which water is a significant source of essential elements.
Material and methods. The paper analyzes the results of 143,578 drinking water samples from 10 aquifers used as sources of drinking water supply. Within the framework of this study, the content of the following elements was evaluated: calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper, zinc, phosphorus, iron, manganese, selenium, molybdenum, chromium, sodium, chlorides, fluorides in comparison with the methodological recommendations of MP 2.3.1.0253–21 “Norms of physiological energy and nutritional needs for various population groups of the Russian Federation”.
Results. None of the aquifers of the Leningrad region provide the concentrations of phosphates, copper, potassium, zinc and selenium did not satisfy 20% of the minimum required intake from drinking water. Insufficient intake of essential macro- and microelements with drinking water can become one of the causes of metabolic disorders and lead to health disorders.
Limitations. Within the framework of this article, water quality is characterized by sanitary and chemical indicators, the chemical harmlessness of water is evaluated. The issues of microbiological and radiological safety of underground water in the Leningrad region, despite their relevance, aren`t considered in this article. In addition, the quality of drinking water in Sosnovy Bor wasn`t studied, since the centralized water supply of this locality is carried out from surface water sources.
Conclusion. Despite the undoubted advantages of groundwater, they are not able to satisfy the physiological need of the body for macro- and microelements. In this regard, it is necessary to develop targeted preventive programs aimed at replenishing the deficiency of micro- and macroelements in the body for each territory of the Leningrad region. These include the consumption of foods rich in microelements, the intake of biologically active additives containing scarce micro- and macroelements, as well as the use of mineral waters.
