Injury of the superficial digital flexor tendon is known for slow and functionally incomplete recovery, which is a problem in the equestrian horse farming. In the clinical studies, we used platelet-rich plasma, obtained from horse blood, and a specially designed scheme of rehabilitation after physical loads for the treatment of injuries of the superficial digital flexor tendon of horses. We analyzed four clinical cases of injuries of the superficial digital flexor of horses, of which 3 cases were treated using platelet-rich plasma, injected under ultrasound-diagnostic control, and one case that was treated without its administration. Ultrasound studies of the superficial digital flexor tendon revealed the following changes: increase in the volume of the tendon, damage to the fiber structure, and absence of fibrosity on the longitudinal images, and hypo-echogenic or anechogenic structure on transverse and longitudinal images. The results of the platelet-rich-plasma treatment of the horses were compared with the control (without utilization of platelet-rich plasma). As seen on the ultrasound images during the intermediate-control stage (2.5–4.0 months after injury), the horses that had received injection of platelet-rich plasma and had undergone the complex of physical exercises were forming new fibers of the superficial digital flexor tendon, which had distinct structure and alignment. This indicated the process of their physiological development. Four and a half months after being injured, the horse that had only received a symptomatic treatment combined with a complex of rehabilitating physical loads had poorly structured fibers in the damaged area, with their disordered alignment, as revealed by the longitudinal images. This suggested the formation of a scar. Transverse images showed the anechogenic areas of the injury suffered by this horse. The method of preparing and administration of platelet-rich plasma is relatively cheap, given the equipment and a qualification of a veterinary doctor. Taking into account its identified efficacy for recovery of the superficial digital flexor tendon, it would be promising to conduct further clinical trials using platelet-rich plasma for treating other injured tendons of horses, which can notably increase the quality of recovered connective tissues.

The current task for both pomiculture and ornamental horticulture is the formation of plant cultivars resistant to different environmental stress and maintaining their high productivity. Drought is one of the most significant environmental factors that inhibit plant growth and development and cause a set of morphological, physiological, and biochemical changes in plant organisms. The aim of our research was to discover the relationship between the development of the reproductive organs of ornamental crabapples and the physiological indicators determined by drought stress factors. The four species and three cultivars of the ornamental crabapples (Malus spp.) from the collection of the National Dendrological Park “Sofiyivka” of NAS of Ukraine were involved in the study: M. × floribunda Siebold ex Van Houtte, M. halliana Koehne, M. niedzwetzkyana Dieck, M. × purpurea (A. Barbier) Rehder, M. × purpurea ‘Ola’, M. × purpurea ‘Royalty’, and M. × purpurea ‘Selkirk’. Drought resistance was determined by the following quantitative indicators: leaf water content, relative turgidity, leaf water deficit, and excised leaf water retention capacity. The leaf water content ranged from 60.0% (M. × floribunda) to 67.2% (M. × purpurea), the relative turgidity ranged from 81.7% (M. × purpurea ‘Ola’) to 98.9% (M. halliana), and the leaf water deficit ranged from 6.8% (M. halliana) to 24.4% (of M. niedzwetzkyana). As a result, the leaves of M. halliana lost the smallest amount of water in 24 hours (50.2%), whereas M. × purpurea 'Ola' leaves lost the largest amount (77.4%). The development of the reproductive organs was estimated based on the fertility and viability of pollen grains, percentage of fruit and seed set. Pollen fertility ranged from 79.8% (of M. niedzwetzkyana) to 95.0% (M. × purpurea 'Ola'); its viability varied from 5.1% (M. niedzwetzkyana) to 51.5% (M. × floribunda). The highest fruit set percentages were recorded in M. floribunda (80.5%), while the lowest was in M. × purpurea 'Royalty' (16.4%). The average percentage of seed sets was 48.5%. The development of the reproductive organs of Malus specimens depended on their drought resistance. The fruit and seed set percentages had a strong negative correlation with the water deficit in leaves determined during the period of drought stress. The percentage of fruit set was also strongly correlated with relative turgidity. The leaf water deficit and relative turgidity were the most important physiological indicators in the drought resistance study, taking into account the need to maintain crop yield and the decorative effect of Malus plants.

Information about the morphology of the budgerigar intestines is a necessary condition for the preparation of diets for feeding, prevention and treatment of diseases of the digestive system, the state of which determines the intensity of growth and development of the bird’s body. The features of the histological structure of the intestines of the budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) of 9 ages: 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 30, 60, 180 and 365 days of age were studied. Histological preparations were made according to the classical method with hematoxylin and eosin staining of sections, according to Mallory and Grimelius. Morphometric parameters of microstructures were determined on preparations from a transverse section of the middle section of the duodenum, jejunum, ileum and rectum. In the intestinal wall of the budgerigar, three membranes were identified: mucous, muscular and serous. Three layers were found in the mucosa: epithelial, lamina propria, and muscular lamina. The predominant type of epitheliocytes were rim enterocytes, goblet cells were found in a smaller number, the number of which increased towards the rectum, as well as enteroendocrine cells, which were located mainly in the crypts. The muscularis mucosa consists of several layers of cells of smooth muscle tissue, which delimits the lamina propria from the muscle membrane, encircles the crypts, and accompanies the blood capillaries of the villi. The submucosa was not found. The muscular coat consists of two layers formed by smooth muscle tissue: the inner circular and the outer longitudinal. The enteric nervous system is represented by two nerve plexuses: the submucosal, located between the muscularis mucosa, and the myenteric, located in the outer layer of the muscular membrane. There was a general pattern of increase in changes in most parameters with age : the diameter of the intestine, wall thickness, mucous membrane and muscle membrane, height, width and surface area of the villi, the depth of the crypts. Changes in the size of the microstructures of the intestines were asynchronous. The most intensive changes in the size of microstructures occurred in the first month after hatching, especially in the first week. They corresponded to the values of an adult bird mainly at 21–30 days of age. A decrease in the thickness of the wall, mucosa, height of the villi, and their surface area in the direction from the duodenum to the rectum was established.

Since the efficiency of pig breeding largely depends on the reproductive ability of sows, one of the promising areas of research in animal husbandry is the study of factors whose correction can improve the fertility and quality of the offspring. Our work purpose was to investigate the effect of gilts’ feeding level, MC4R genotype and interaction of these factors on the reproductive traits pigs after reaching puberty. The object of the study was crossbred pigs obtained as a result of the combination of sows of the Large White breed with boars of the Landrace breed. To carry out the research, the animals were divided into four groups that differed among themselves by the genotype of the melanocortin 4 receptor gene and the level of feeding of the experimental animals. To determine the genotype, the PCR-RFLP method was utilized. Genetic studies were conducted in a certified laboratory of the Institute of Pig Breeding and Agroindustrial Production. The reproductive capacity of the pigs was determined after receiving the farrowing by the following traits: piglets born alive per farrowing (animals), weight of litters of piglets at birth (kg), average weight of piglet at birth (kg), number of weaning piglets (animals), weight of litters of piglets at 28 days (kg), average weight of piglet at 28 days (kg), average daily gain of suckling piglets from 0 to 28 days (g). It was established that the traits of reproductive ability of crossbred Large White × Landrace pigs were affected by the interaction of genotype and feeding factors. When limiting the nutritional value of the daily diet, sows with the AG genotype outperformed those with the GG genotype by 1.2 piglets born alive per farrowing, by 3.0 kg for litter weight at birth, and by 0.1 kg for the average weight of a piglet at birth. The advantage of the AG genotype for average piglet weight at 28 days was even larger. Conversely, in conditions of a high level of feeding, animals with the GG genotype had higher productivity in terms of such traits as piglets born alive per farrowing – by 1.6 animals; weight of litters of piglets at birth – by 4.1 kg; for average weight of piglet at birth – 0.2 kg; by number of weaning piglets – 2.0 animals; by weight of litters of piglets at 28 days – 28.8 kg; for average weight of piglet at 28 days – 1.1 kg and for average daily gain from 0 to 28 days – 34.6 g. In the future, the goal is to develop a system of differentiated rationing of pigs' diets depending on their genotype.

State Prevention Targeting Persons Attracted to Minors in Europe
Authors: Nissen Aleydis
Published: September 2023

More than a decade ago, innovative legal obligations were created in Europe to provide persons who fear that they might commit child sexual offences with access, where appropriate, to effective intervention programmes or measures designed to evaluate and prevent the risk of such offences. These supranational obligations were included in Article 7 of the Council of Europe’s Lanzarote Convention (2010) and the near-identical Article 22 of the European Union’s Directive 2011/93 (2011). These provisions have the potential to prevent damaging children’s health, to help persons attracted to minors to lead more productive and fulfilling lives, and to save society substantial resources. The European Commission noted, however, in 2020 that out of all of the state action that needs to be undertaken to implement Directive 2011/93, the least progress has to date been made in relation to prevention programmes for persons attracted to minors who fear that they might offend or have offended. This article aims to review the supranational obligations and their implementation. It finds that the stigma around pedophilia hampers progress at individual, inter-personal, and structural levels. There is room for improvement in the cooperation between the European Union and the Council of Europe. In addition, specific programmes and measures for specific target groups, such as women or people with disabilities, are identified as a blind spot.

Permeability mechanism of PVC-P geomembranes based on low-field NMR technology
Authors: Zhang X. L. , Wu Y. Y. , Yin C. J. , Gu X. Y.
Published: September 2023

The permeability of plasticised polyvinyl chloride (PVC-P) geomembranes (GMBs) is of significant importance to the safe operation of impermeable structures and even entire projects. To avoid the drawbacks of the traditional method of adopting the permeability coefficient to characterise permeability, this paper presents a mathematical model of porosity and seepage discharge based on the results of the vertical permeability test and porosity obtained from low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) tests. This paper also explores the applicability of porosity to evaluate permeability combined with the dynamic distribution of pores and pore radius. The results show that low-field NMR technology with 1H (isotope of hydrogen) atoms as the probe can accurately measure the distribution of pores and pore radius in the PVC-P GMB. The proportion of micropores (Mic), mesopores (Mes) and macropores (Mac) and the shrinkage or development of pore radius are primarily responsible for the variation of porosity. Porosity is closely correlated with seepage discharge, and the constructed model can accurately predict seepage discharge. Furthermore, porosity can provide technical support for the evaluation of the permeability of PVC-P GMBs and the selection of appropriate GMBs for engineering design.
CARBON DIOXIDE STRESS CRACKING IN OIL PRODUCTION
Authors: Tkacheva V.E. , Markin A.N.
Published: September 2023

The article describes stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of pipe string elements associated with exposure to carbon dioxide. SCC can occur in solutions containing H2S, CO2, ammonia, nitrates, chlorides, acids, alkalis, etc. The article shows two typical examples of stress corrosion cracking of high-carbon steels of tubular string elements (grades 40X13, 40XH) after operation in field environments whose well products do not contain hydrogen sulfide. The possible mechanism of carbon dioxide stress cracking was analyzed in comparison with carbonate stress corrosion cracking (Carbonate Stress Corrosion Cracking) described in the API 571-2020 standard. It is shown that an integral part of the mechanism of carbon dioxide stress cracking is the growth and development of cracks during hydrogen evolution in the cathodic reaction. The general metallurgical and operational characteristics of steel elements of tubular strings subjected to carbon dioxide stress cracking are given, which are in good agreement with the available foreign literature data. Based on the results of operation, it was confirmed that in «conventional» oilfield systems with carbon dioxide, equipment failures by the mechanism of carbon dioxide stress cracking are possible. Examination of the described failures included the following assessment methods: analysis of the accompanying documentation, visual-measuring control, micro-examinations by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, tests to determine the mechanical properties of the metal.Carbon dioxide stress cracking was observed in the presence of the following factors: carbon dioxide environment (in the absence of hydrogen sulfide); high concentration of carbon in steel (0.4 % wt.); increased hardness of steel (from 30.3 to 33.9 HRC); the presence of constant and alternating mechanical loads.

Published: September 2023

A comprehensive multi-scale study of the capacitive space was carried out, which allows at different levels to obtain data on the type, morphology and distribution of the hollow space of the rocks of the Domanic stratum of one of the deposits in the northern part of the Bashkir arch. It has been shown that the reservoir properties of the rocks are quite low, while most of the voids are filled with highly viscous hydrocarbons. Siliceous-carbonate and carbonaceous-siliceous highcarbonaceous rocks have the best reservoir properties. The void space in the core samples is mainly of the porous-fractured type, the cavernporous-fractured type is locally noted. The formation of voids is due to both sedimentation and post-sedimentation factors and is associated with the processes of recrystallization, dolomitization, leaching and cracking. Microtomographic studies of high-angle-related rocks made it possible to study local zones and obtain data on the microstructure and capacitive characteristics of the void space in areas not accessible for decoding by other methods. It has been shown that a significant part of the voids in high-carbon rocks is confined to the shells of tentaculites and there is an increase in porosity in these areas.

The work describes a method of real-time 3D modeling of mechanical properties over the entire field area for the purposes of hydraulic fracturing. The uniqueness of this modeling approach is associated with the prompt acquisition of mechanical properties along the well paths of the field, which is especially important in conditions of insufficient geomechanics data.

Traditional three-dimensional geomechanical modeling is a time-consuming and resource-intensive process. The data often describe the mechanical properties and stress-strain state of the rocks within the current drilling or development sector of the field and do not take into account the interwell space, especially in poorly drilled areas of the field. The method of real-time 3D geomechanical modeling makes it possible to quantify values of minimum horizontal stress used in hydraulic fracturing simulators, as well as static and dynamic Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio over the entire field area using the optimal amount of resources and in a shorter time.

Based on the built three-dimensional cubes of elastic properties and stresses, correct data were obtained in the inter-well space, their vertical and lateral changes were analyzed, and frac design data were obtained at any well drilled through the simulated targets of the field.

This paper covers the Arlanskoye, Znamenskoye and Yugomashevskoye fields (Bashneft PJSC). The target targets are carbonate deposits: Kashira and Podolsk strata of the Arlanskoye field, Tournaisian strata of the Znamensky field and Bashkir-Vereisky strata of the Yugomashevsky field.

For the carbonate rocks of the target targets, laboratory core studies were carried out to determine elastic properties, and stable regional core-core relationships were obtained in the intervals of lower and middle Carboniferous carbonate deposits.

1D geomechanical models were built in RN-SIGMA software 84 wells at the intervals of the study targets. In current 3D geological models are introduced and distributed values of Young's modulus, Poisson's coefficient and minimum horizontal stress gradient is calculated. Analysis of changes in geomechanical properties by area, for each study object was carried out and data were obtained to create frac designs for 15,000 wells.
ANALYSIS OF THE EFFICIENCY OF CARBON DIOXIDE INJECTION INTO CARBONATE FORMATIONS
Authors: Romashov N.M. , Blech V.D. , Nikiforov Y.A. , Petrov A.K.
Published: September 2023

This article raises the issue of development of deposits whose formations are composed of carbonate rocks. The low porosity and permeability of carbonate strata result in low oil production from these reservoirs. Therefore, these fields need to use enhanced recovery methods. A number of methods that have been relevant in the past do not achieve the desired result, so it is necessary to study in more detail new methods for increasing oil recovery. This paper discusses one of these methods for optimizing production, namely injection of carbon dioxide into the formation in order to increase the oil production of the formations. As you know, when injecting gas into the formation, in particular carbon dioxide, there are two main modes of oil displacement: the immiscible displacement mode, in which the gas is in a gaseous form and acts as a displacing agent, and the mixed displacement mode, in which the gas dissolves in oil, changes its properties, contributing to improving the conditions of its displacement. In the course of the work, a comparison of mixed and unmixed injection of carbon dioxide into the formation was made. The dissolution of the gas in the oil occurs at a certain pressure, which is called the miscibility pressure. During the work, the main factors affecting the mixing pressure were identified. The analysis of the effectiveness of the method was carried out by using a digital model. It was found that with mixed carbon dioxide injection, the recovery factor is greater. Shows the impact of carbon dioxide on the reservoir and reservoir fluid during injection. It has been established that carbon dioxide is capable of chemical reactions with rock. These chemical reactions have both positive and negative effects, increasing or decreasing porosity and permeability factors of the formations. The most optimal method of carbon dioxide injection has been determined. The dependence was obtained to determine the efficiency factor of oil production during carbon dioxide injection.

Published: September 2023

This study examines the effects of the Think-Talk-Write (TTW) strategy on Thai EFL students’ learning mathematics in English. The TTW learning strategy contributed by Pratiwi and Muiz (2016) was used in this study. The participants were 25 Thai EFL students enrolled in a Mini-English Program in which English is used as a medium language in all subjects. During the teaching and learning activities, the researcher conducted three phases of mathematics problem-solving activities, including the Think, Talk, and Write phrases. In this study, a Filipino teacher as the researcher taught a mathematics subject in English since the researcher and the participants used different first languages. Five research instruments were deployed to collect data: a pretest/ posttest, survey questionnaire, observation checklist, and semi-structured interview. The findings of this study revealed that the TTW strategy could enhance Thai EFL students’ learning of mathematics in English. In addition, the results showed that the EFL students used English (L2) and Thai (L1) to solve their mathematical problems with their peers. The findings from the semi-structured interview also revealed that the EFL students viewed the think, talk and write as a useful strategy to share ideas with their peers. Therefore, using the TTW strategy is an easy and challenging way to solve mathematical problems in English.
Role of Learning Environment in Arabic as a Foreign Language in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Shaalan Danya
Published: September 2023

The second-language learning environment (L2LE) plays an important role in successful second language (L2) learning achievement. Studies in English as a foreign language (EFL) found that when learners feel anxiety or negative emotions in the L2LE, it reduces their willingness to communicate (WTC), and this could impede their L2 achievement. Although it is likely that the L2LE has a similar impact on Arabic as a foreign language (AFL), there is a lack of research that focuses on the role of the Arabic L2LE. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has organized Arabic Learning Institutes (ALIs) that teach AFL to foreign students on government scholarship studying in KSA’s higher education institutions. The aim of this study was to develop, pilot, and evaluate the validity and reliability of an instrument to measure the influence of the Arabic L2LE in AFL learners at KSA’s ALIs. Using items and domains from existing instruments, a 32-item instrument was piloted among 140 ALI learners, with the data from 70 retained for analysis. Factor, reliability and correlation reduced items to 17 and revealed evidence of three independent subscales: classroom, teacher/curriculum, and personal anxiety toward L2 Arabic. Although ALI learners appeared motivated by classroom, teacher, and curriculum, their L2 achievement seemed impeded by anxiety, likely due to de-emphasis in classroom interaction in Arabic. Future research should be undertaken to improve the validity and reliability of the Arabic L2LE instrument, and to further investigate strategies to reduce anxiety and increase WTC in ALI learners.

Published: September 2023

Translation activities are not isolated, and an increasing number of researchers have applied sociological theories to translation studies, which contributions to interdisciplinary research in translation. Luotuo Xiangzi, written by Lao She, is one of the best modern Chinese novels. Its four English translation versions and translation activities that span decades have deeply interacting with various parts of society. Based on Bourdieu’s sociological theories of the “field”, “capital” and “habitus”, this case study of the English translations of Luotuo Xiangzi explored the relationship and interaction between the translator and other participants (participating groups) in the translation activity. It was discovered that the translation activity could reveal the translator’s habitus and be greatly influenced by interactions with various fields of society and by the capital engaged in the translation activity of Luotuo Xiangzi, providing proof of the explanatory and guiding power of Bourdieu’s sociological theory in translation studies. This paper tries to enrich the interdisciplinary research of sociology and translation and offers additional references for the translation and global dissemination of translated literature, particularly for Chinese literature.

BURGUESIDAD EN SÁNDOR MÁRAI
Authors: Polanco Izquierdo Mauricio
Published: September 2023

Este artículo pone en relación la personalidad del escritor húngaro Sándor Márai con su obra, desde la perspectiva del escritor burgués. Perteneciente a la tradición literaria centroeuropea, Márai formó parte también de la generación fin de siècle que, tal como Thomas Mann y Stefan Zweig, se interesaron por los problemas sociales y políticos pero, sobre todo, culturales, que supuso el siglo XX para Europa. De este modo, su obra refleja la agonía de los viejos valores burgueses occidentales; su personalidad escéptica, de apátrida, es el testimonio de su imposibilidad para encontrar su lugar en el mundo tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
APROXIMACIONES CRÍTICAS A LOS ESCRITOS EN PRIMERA PERSONA

Este estudio traza un recorrido por las diferentes aproximaciones críticas que se han realizado sobre las escrituras en primera persona a lo largo de los últimos sesenta años. Partiendo del término «autobiografía», entendido aquí en su sentido más amplio y no como etiqueta de un género literario concreto, analizaremos cómo los escritos autobiográficos han sido objeto de estudio de campos tan diversos como la historia, la antropología o la literatura. La confrontación de las teorías más relevantes en estos campos permite concluir que los aspectos más controvertidos suscitados por este choque interdisciplinar se remiten a una cuestión de prioridad metodológica entre el estudio formal o funcional de las literaturas del yo.

Primero, se fijará el marco teórico de partida: algunas consideraciones sobre los conceptos de intensificación, disfemismo y (des)cortesía verbal, como fenómenos importantes de la conversación coloquial; en segundo lugar, partiendo de los textos literarios que hacen parte del corpus recopilado para el Diccionario descriptivo del español del Valle de Aburrá (DEVA), se pretende describir las funciones discursivas de los disfemismos en el uso de los personajes, el acto de habla y el tipo de modalidad de la enunciación que representan, así como los recursos lingüísticos que los constituyen.
Análisis lingüístico-pragmático de titulares de artículos de opinión
Authors: Cervera Rodríguez Ángel
Published: September 2023

Los titulares de los artículos de opinión son enunciados breves que se presentan ante el lector como manifestaciones explicitas lingüísticas que orientan el interés por el tema desarrollado en el texto y, a su vez, contribuyen pragmáticamente a la interpretación del sentido global. En los titulares suelen aparecer implícitamente significados adicionales que hay que descubrir para interpretar adecuadamente la intencionalidad, junto con el pensamiento ideológico del articulista.
reinas de la novela rosa en España y Alemania: Corín Tellado y Hedwig Courths-Mahler
Authors: Pöppel Hubert
Published: September 2023

La española Corín Tellado y la alemana Hedwig Courths-Mahler son las autoras que más libros han vendido en sus países. En contextos históricos, sociales y culturales diferentes a lo largo del siglo XX, ellas supieron asumir y desarrollar perfectamente el género narrativo-popular de la novela rosa. Surge entonces la pregunta por los lugares que han ocupado ellas y sus obras dentro de las dos culturas, tanto en el pasado como en el presente. Partiendo de ahí esta contribución indaga en las promesas —contrafácticas— que las dos autoras ofrecen a sus lectores a través de la novela rosa.
«Fazme aver mala fin»: la muerte de Merlín en el Baladro del sabio Merlín a la luz del Ars moriendi
Authors: Gutiérrez Trápaga Daniel
Published: September 2023

Este trabajo estudia la influencia del Ars moriendi castellano en el episodio de la muerte de Merlín según la versión del Baladro del sabio Merlín (Burgos, 1498). El Ars moriendi contiene un modelo de muerte cristiana encaminado a la salvación. Por el contrario, en el Baladro Merlín muere condenándose al infierno. Sin embargo, las dos obras tienen fines didácticos similares. Para poder establecer el valor aleccionador de la mala muerte de Merlín, el Baladro utilizó, entre otros elementos, las conductas señaladas como adversas en el Ars, estableciendo la interpretación demoníaca del personaje.
«Llegando a escribir este capítulo». Recursos de apertura y cierre de capítulo en el Quijote de 1615
Authors: Vilchis Barrera Ana Elvira
Published: September 2023

En los 74 capítulos de la segunda parte del Quijote es posible encontrar relaciones complejas entre los capítulos mismos y los episodios que en ellos se narran: un episodio puede narrarse en más de un capítulo al igual que un capítulo puede ser parte de más de un episodio. Parte de la complejidad y conciencia estilística de la obra puede observarse en el análisis de los siete recursos de apertura y cierre de capítulos presentados en este trabajo: suspenso, anuncio, simultaneidad, descanso en la narración, presencia del narrador, apelación al receptor y cambio de espacio de los personajes.
Teatro y referentes poéticos caballerescos en el Quijote de 1615: Gaiferos y Altisidora
Authors: Santa Aguilar Sara Isabel
Published: September 2023

En el presente artículo se estudia cómo el referente poético caballeresco irrumpe en el Quijote de 1615. Así pues, se parte de resaltar que la segunda parte de la obra cervantina se caracteriza por la presencia del teatro, para pasar a estudiar, posteriormente, cómo, justamente en este nivel de ficción dentro de la ficción, el referente caballeresco se descontextualiza y se resignifica. De este modo, se concluye mostrando que el referente poético caballeresco es algo que continuamente se traslada de plano ontológico y que se acomoda a las realidades de los personajes cervantinos, actualizándose y cambiando continuamente de significado.
Análisis de datos antropométricos de la población menor de 18 años de Medellín usando los estándares de la Organización Mundial de la Salud y su adaptación para Colombia propuesta por el Ministerio de la Protección Social

Published: September 2023

Objetivo: comparar los resultados de la evaluación nutricional de los menores de 18 años de Medellín usando los estándares de la OMS, su sistema de clasificación y el propuesto por el Ministerio de la Protección Social de Colombia. Materiales y métodos: se evaluó el estado nutricional por los indicadores talla/edad e índice de masa corporal en menores de 18 y peso/talla en menores de cinco pertenecientes a 2.719 hogares urbanos y rurales de la ciudad de Medellín, que participaron en el estudio Perfil alimentario y nutricional de Medellín 2010, realizado por la Alcaldía de Medellín. Resultados: se encontraron menores prevalencias de peso/talla e IMC adecuados y mayores de sobrepeso y obesidad en menores de cinco años usando la clasificación colombiana, en relación con la de la OMS. Situación similar a la descrita para IMC se encontró en los mayores de 5 años. Las diferencias se explican por utilizar distintos puntos de corte e inclusión de nuevas categorías de riego nutricional. Conclusiones: aunque se requieren más estudios para alcanzar conclusiones definitivas, para estudios poblacionales posiblemente no se requiera introducir las categorías de riesgo nutricional, ni cambiar los puntos de corte para establecer sobrepeso y obesidad, pues los nuevos estándares de la OMS son más exigentes que otros patrones para evaluar estas dos condiciones. En el seguimiento individual se recomienda complementar la información antropométrica con aspectos sociales, antecedentes familiares y hábitos de crianza en niños con IMC entre >1 y ≤2 desviaciones estándar.
La cobertura periodística de la obesidad en la prensa española (2000-2005)
Authors: Ortiz Barreda Gaby , Vives Cases Carmen , Ortiz Moncada Rocio
Published: September 2023

Antecedentes: la obesidad es un problema de salud pública en España. Los medios de comunicación son una herramienta útil para la salud pública. Objetivo: explorar el tratamiento periodístico de la obesidad en la prensa escrita española durante 2000-2005, frecuencia de aparición, fuentes de información y enfoques, en relación con el contexto social. Materiales y métodos: análisis de contenido cuantitativo de 690 noticias publicadas en El País, El Mundo y ABC. Cálculo de frecuencias y odds ratio (OR) con intervalos de confianza (IC) del 95% y significación estadística. Resultados: incrementaron las noticias de 2000 (n=25) a 2005 (n=185). Se centraron en denuncias (36,4%) y magnitud del problema (15,7%), en detrimento de aquellas sobre iniciativas-estrategias políticas (3,8%). Destacan los hombres como fuentes informativas principales (75,5%) y las mujeres como primeras firmantes de las noticias (56,1%). Los hombres del ámbito médico-sanitario (OR=1,98;IC95%,1,11-3,57) y las mujeres del ámbito político (OR=2,54;IC95%1,46-4,42) tienen mayor probabilidad de ser la fuente informativa principal. Conclusiones: la cobertura periodística de la obesidad durante 2000-2005 aumentó, coincidiendo con el desarrollo de respuestas políticas en torno al tema. Principalmente, se denuncia el problema. Destaca la escasa cobertura periodística de iniciativas-estrategias políticas, sugiriendo incipiente interacción entre la agenda política y mediática.

Dislipidemia en niños con desnutrición aguda. Turbo, Colombia
Authors: Velásquez Rodríguez Claudia María , Orozco Cano Juliana María
Published: September 2023

Objetivo: comparar el perfil lipídico de niños menores de 5 años con desnutrición aguda con ungrupo control. Metodología: estudio descriptivo, de corte transversal, en 43 niños, 26 con desnutriciónaguda y 17 con adecuado peso para la talla (P/T). Entre los grupos de estudio secompararon las concentraciones séricas de CT, c-LDL, c-HDL y TG. Resultados: el grupo condesnutrición presentó una frecuencia significativamente mayor de c-HDL bajas comparados concontroles (19 vs 7% respectivamente, p=0,036) y un riesgo 1,8 veces mayor de c-HDL bajas(OR=1,8; IC 0,960-3,280). Los TG fueron mayores en los desnutridos, pero sin diferencia significativacon los controles. Las concentraciones de CT, c-LDL y c-HDL disminuyeron significativamentea medida que aumentó el grado de desnutrición, mientras que los TG aumentaronpero no significativamente; en los niños con desnutrición grave el índice arterial TG/c-HDL fuesignificativamente mayor que en los moderados y en los controles. Los niños con kwashiorkor presentaron las concentraciones más bajas de CT, c-LDL y c-HDL, las más altas de TG y elmayor índice arterial. Conclusiones: los niños con desnutrición aguda grave, especialmente tipo kwashiorkor, presentan concentraciones más bajas de c-HDL y más altas de TG, con un índicearterial alto que los expone a desarrollar ateroesclerosis.
Alimentos típicos de Boyacá, Colombia
Authors: Vega Castro Óscar Alfonso , López Barón Francy Nataly
Published: September 2023

En el presente trabajo se presenta una muestra de las comidas típicas del departamento de Boyacá-Colombia, además de la descripción y origen de algunos alimentos y la importancia de éstos para las comunidades ancestrales. El propósito es compilar la memoria de algunas tradiciones culinarias colombianas, con énfasis en Boyacá. El documento incluye un reporte de los alimentos de mayor producción y una aproximación a los platos más representativos de la dieta boyacense en el desayuno, almuerzo y cena, así como algunas bebidas y pasabocas; finalmente se presenta un mapa gastronómico de la región y un cuadro con las diferentes ocasiones en que se consumen ciertos platos. Se concluye que la cocina de Boyacá es muy variada, sin embargo se ve amenazada por las nuevas influencias culturales y ritmos de vida; de ahí la importancia de retornar nuestras raíces para no perder el horizonte y en consecuencia la identidad.
