Es estudiante de doctorado en el departamento de estudios hispánicos en Texas A&M y el área de su investigación tiene que ver con la representación latina en los videojuegos. Se enfoca principalmente en como la cultura se presenta en estos medios a través de espacialidad, banda sonora, jugabilidad y narratología. identifcar las habilidades socioemo cionales que se desarrollan a partir de la interacción entre los participantes. Mediante una investigación de alcance exploratorio y tomando como base a la fenomenología y etnog rafía como metodologías seleccionadas, se genera una  aproximación a la defnición de las habilidades mencionadas. Los resultados sugieren que las habilidades  socioemocionales en los esports surgen por la confanza que los jugadores requieren desarrollar para la continuidad del juego, el establecimiento de obligaciones asumidas por voluntad propia. Se concluye que, dentro y fuera del juego, se conforma un espacio donde el desenvolvimiento psicológico de los participantes se traduce en motivación y la empatía.
La ficción fílmica como grupo de discusión sobre la construcción de problemas sociales: el caso de Swallow (2021)
Authors: Valhondo Crego José Luis
Published: June 2023

En este texto nos cuestionamos de modo general cómo la ficción fílmica puede plantear problemas sociales relevantes y proponer modos de agencia para resolverlos. Los filmes y los géneros a los que pertenecen configuran una realidad que implícitamente relaciona la estructura social con la agencia de los sujetos protagonistas. La interacción entre estructura y agencia ha sido analizada con grupos de discusión que negocian los significados sociales de los temas políticos. Se plantea en este texto cómo los protagonistas de la ficción mimetizan una lógica de la negociación sobre su propia libertad para actuar. Tomamos como estudio de caso el filme Swallow y empleamos una metodología basada en el análisis de las interacciones que se producen en el relato. Los resultados completan las evidencias encontradas en los experimentos con grupos de discusión reales.
Replicación y extensäo: La faltante experiencia latinoamericana en el estudio de los videojuegos
Authors: David Bowman Nicholas
Published: June 2023

Desde su desarrollo a principios de la década de 1960 hasta su prominencia mundial actual, los videojuegos son una característica cada vez más omnipresente de la cultura del entretenimiento. Asimismo, los videojuegos y sus efectos supuestos y reales en los jugadores ocupan un lugar destacado en el discurso público y la investigación académica. Sin embargo, los medios académicos internacionales han omitido en gran medida la experiencia latinoamericana con los videojuegos, a pesar de la cultura de juego sostenida y creciente de la región, en algunos casos, con tasas de juego que superan a las regiones que se presentan con mayor frecuencia en los estudios (como Estados Unidos). Este ensayo se presenta como una amplia convocatoria de becas que se relaciona directamente con los jugadores latinoamericanos y la cultura del juego, como parte de esfuerzos más amplios para llevar la investigación de la comunicación de los medios hacia un compromiso global auténtico y significativo.

Authors: Tentori Maddalena , SanMiguel Patricia , Torregrosa Marta
Published: June 2023

Internet es un entorno sin fronteras espacio-temporales, donde las marcas de moda se conectan con sus consumidores, especialmente a través de las redes sociales. Instagram, TikTok o YouTube se han convertido en los canales preferentes para establecer una comunicación personal y bidireccional con los seguidores y al mismo tiempo en un canal de comunicación comercial. Una de las estrategias de marketing en redes sociales que más están utilizando las marcas de moda es el marketing de influencia. En los últimos años los estudios académicos en relación con el marketing de influencia han aumentado notablemente. Sin embargo, la literatura muestra que todavía son muchos los gaps existentes en los que es conveniente desarrollar estudios. En este sentido, los profesionales del marketing se encuentran con frecuencia ante la disyuntiva de realizar campañas con influencers globales o por el contrario localizar sus estrategias utilizando influencers de los países, ciudades o área donde se va desarrollar la campaña de comunicación y marketing, permitiendo una mejor interacción con el idioma, las costumbres y cultura del público objetivo. Este estudio exploratorio tiene como objetivo profundizar en la relación entre el marketing de influencia y las estrategias de localización. Para ello, se analiza las estrategias de influencer marketing de cuatro marcas de moda y lifestyle (Sephora, APM, H&M y Dolce & Gabbana) observando el enfoque global o local de sus acciones y sus consecuencias.

En este artículo se describe la investigación desarrollada en Irlanda y se observa ese seguimiento de la prensa irlandesa para confirmar el valor que los periódicos irlandeses dan al golf.
Supramolecular Assembly between Cationic Pyridinium-Pillararene and Aminosalicylate Drug
Authors: Demos Willian , Micke Lizandra , Lacerda Luis , Souza Bruno , Gerola Adriana , Affeldt Ricardo
Published: June 2023

The preparation and characterization of a novel pillar[5]arene based supramolecular system with mesalazine, a prescribed aminosalicylate drug was successfully achieved. Pyridiniumpillar[5]arene was efficiently prepared in three steps from hydroquinone bis(2-hydroxyethyl) ether derivative in high yield. It was demonstrated that the association between the compounds is pH dependent with an association constant of 3.4 × 103 L mol-1 near physiological conditions, leading to quenching of the fluorescence emission of mesalazine in the presence of the cationic macrocycle. Theoretical calculations indicate that the association between both molecules is of electrostatic nature. Formation of aggregates was also demonstrated in low concentrations of pillar[5]arene that is related to the non-linear behavior of the Stern-Volmer plot for quenching of mesalazine fluorescence emission.
Introducing Forest Access Cost Functions into a General Equilibrium Model
Authors: Gouel Christophe , Hertel Thomas
Published: June 2023

Abstract The purpose of this Research Memorandum is to propose an approach to incorporating forest access cost functions into global general equilibrium models such as GTAP. Towards this end, we develop a long run access cost function which can be calibrated to national data on total forest land, currently inaccessible forest land, forest land rents, and expected rates of return on investment. This is illustrated for an 11 region aggregation of the GTAP-AEZ data base. We find that this long run function generates far too high a rate of annual access, and so we introduce a short run component which introduces a quadratic term into the cost function. This can be chosen to target current rates of forest access as reported by the FAO. Finally, we discuss the treatment of this new type of investment in the general equilibrium model. Keywords: Deforestation, inaccessible forests, cost function, investment. JEL codes: Q23, Q24, Q27
Introducing Liquid Biofuels into the GTAP Data Base
Authors: Taheripour Farzad , Birur Dileep , Hertel Thomas , Tyner Wally
Published: June 2023

Production of liquid biofuels has rapidly increased around the world in recent years. Biofuel production, by its nature, can affect the economy and environment of many countries in different ways. Global Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) analysis is an appropriate approach to study the widespread socio-economic and environmental impacts of bioenergy production. An appropriate benchmark data base including an independent biofuel sector is essential to develop a CGE model for this purpose. This paper represents the first effort aimed at formally introducing liquid biofuels sectors into the version 6 of the GTAP Data Base (Dimaranan, 2007). It builds on the International Energy Agency (IEA) data base, plant-level, biofuel processing models, and the SplitCom program developed by Horridge (2005) to introduce three biofuel sectors into the GTAP Data Base. ----- A discussion thread for this data base is available at: www.gtap.org/forums/post_thread.asp?RefID=199&T_ID=49
Implementing Bilateral Tariff Rate Quotas in GTAP using GEMPACK
Authors: Elbehri Aziz , Pearson Ken
Published: June 2023

Explicit modeling of tariff rate quotas (TRQs) is important in the current World Trade Organization negotiations. In order to do such modeling with GTAP, extra data is required and extra equations must be added to the model. This paper provides tools for assisting modelers to carry out explicit modeling of bilateral tariff rate quotas in GTAP using GEMPACK. The paper describes how the extra data for sugar TRQ applications was obtained and reconciled with the standard GTAP data. Supplied with the paper is a TABLO Input file TRQDATA.TAB which others can use for reconciling their TRQ data with the usual GTAP data. Supplied with the paper is a module which can be added to the standard TABLO Input files for GTAP. This module contains the extra equations required to model TRQs. Detailed hands-on examples are supplied with the paper, as is a TRQ application relating to a partial liberalization of sugar TRQ. Readers of the paper can replicate these applications. A windows interface TRQmate is supplied with the paper. This is a relatively general-purpose interface which automates the steps in carrying out TRQ applications with GTAP and GEMPACK. If you wish to carry out your own bilateral TRQ applications with GTAP and GEMPACK, the tools supplied with this paper will make it relatively straightforward for you to do so once you have collected the extra data you need.
International Cross Section Estimates of Demand for Use in the GTAP Model
Authors: Reimer Jeff , Hertel Thomas
Published: June 2023

The making of projections often requires an economy-wide perspective, and the estimation of consumer demands at the international level. In this paper, an implicit, directly additive demand system (AIDADS) is estimated using cross-country data on consumer expenditures from the International Comparison Program (ICP), and then from Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) data. The two data sets are found to produce results that are quite consistent despite their differing origins, and the fact that the former is based on consumer goods that embody wholesale/retail margins, while margin demands are treated separately in GTAP. Given the similarity of the results, the estimation based on GTAP data is favored because it is readily matched to input-output based production and trade data, and provides valuable new information concerning how aggregate margin expenditures are related to per capita income.
Numerical investigation of hydraulic jump for different stilling basins using FLOW-3D
Authors: Zaffar Muhammad Waqas , Hassan Ishtiaq
Published: June 2023

Stilling basin of the Tuansa barrage is a modified form of the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) Type-III basin, which includes impact baffle and friction blocks. Soon after the barrage's operation, baffle blocks were found to be uprooted. Additionally, previous studies also highlighted the issues of rectangular baffle blocks, i.e., less drag, smaller wake zone, and flow reattachment. On the contrary, the use of wedge-shaped splitter blocks is found limited downstream of diversion barrages. Therefore, this study focuses on the hydraulic effects of wedge-shaped splitter blocks on hydraulic jump (HJ) and energy dissipation using FLOW-3D and confirms its suitability downstream of the diversion barrage. The study mainly investigated the free surface profiles, roller lengths, relative energy losses, velocity profiles, and turbulent kinetic energies for three different stilling basins. The results of free surface profiles indicated that new basins stabilised the HJ and produced smaller lengths of HJ. The results also showed that as the flow increased, the roller lengths decreased in the new basins. Similarly, with an increase in the flow, the relative energy loss increased in new basins. Furthermore, within HJ, and at the basins' end, the results showed higher decay of velocity and turbulent kinetic energy in the new basins.

The paper considers the interdependence wakefulness and sleep as two basic components of the human diurnal body functioning. Many experimental investigations stated the facts that troubled slumber affects quality of wakefulness, cognitive function specifically, while wakefulness impaired by emotional strain, work overload and ensuing fatigue and overwork results in bad sleep. Russian flight rules relies on interdependence of these diurnal components in setting limit to cosmonaut's work time (6.5 hrs.) and allotting sufficient time for night sleep (8.5 hrs). In reality, these rules are deviated because of scheduled night operations and systematic excessive workloads. Both of these factors provoke the risk of crew health impairment and performance degradation that should be kept in mind as by planners of orbital, so future space exploration missions.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of endovascular stent thrombectomy for acute upper limb ischemia caused by thrombosis or thromboembolism of the major arteries of the upper limb.Methods: We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of this technique in 18 patients with acute upper limb ischemia. The mean age was 72 (38‐93) years; 66.7% of the patients were women. Arterial hypertension was observed in 94.4% of the patients, and 38.9% of the patients had confirmed atrial fibrillation.Results: The primary success rate (complete revascularization according to angiography findings) was 83.3% (15 of 18 cases). We used this technique as a stand-alone procedure in 15 cases. Two patients received self-expanding stents, and 1 patient had selective thrombolytic therapy. In 3 cases we did not relieve symptoms of acute ischemia and perform any upper limb amputations during hospitalization, nor did we have any conversions to open surgery. Two patients died during hospitalization: one patient died of acute myocardial infarction, and another died of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in the postoperative period.Conclusion: This endovascular thrombectomy technique in combination with other endovascular techniques is highly effective and has a number of benefits, such as low trauma, no need for general anesthesia, accurate intra- and postoperative patency control, timely detection of emboli with the possibility of their removal from arteries comparable in diameter to a stent delivery system (up to 1.8 mm).

Authors: Carrijo Edilma
Published: June 2023

This article discusses the contributions of network theory in the production of care for pastors in facingtensions and constraints in the exercise of pastoral ministry. The interweaving of religion and social networks allows for an analysis of social dynamics in which religious institutions, beyond their capacity to produce social capital, reveal themselves as networks of protection and care. The contributions of network theory are critically discussed from its operationalization in a case study of a Baptist pastor in the city of Rio de Janeiro, arising from this theoretical approach.
Resolver o problema da raça
Authors: Wacquant Loïc
Published: June 2023

This article sketches a neo-Bourdieusianframework for rethinking racial domination. It proposes that we need to historicize the notion of “race”;todislodge the United States from its Archimedean position; to forsake the logic of the trial; andto disaggregateethnoracial phenomena into the “elementary forms” of racial domination, categorization, discrimination, segregation, seclusion, and violence. This approach makes it possible to grasp “race” as a denegated modality of ethnicity and to uncoverhow a system of ethnoracialclassificationis mapped onto a system of ethnoracialstratification, that is, to grasp “race” as a particular modality of “group-making.”

Critical study of word Kaala and its importance in Ayurveda
Authors: Lunagariya Trusha  , Lajwanti Kesvani  , Pawan Kirar  , Poonam Nagle  , Paras Jain
Published: June 2023

In general, the word Kaala is used for time, period or proper time when something occurs. But in Ayurveda it has broader and deeper interpretation. Kaala is unique and specific causative factor of all type of effects, at the same time; it is unavoidable. Kaala is responsible for the generation of people and diseases. The universe is dependent on Kaala and Kaala is accountable for implementing all actions [Ch.Su.25/25]. Infact, the universe is generated from Kaala. The vitiation and pacification of Tridosha, Dhatu, manifestation of diseases, and even management of conditions, daily and seasonal routines, etc. are influenced by Kaala. Kaala helps to understand physiological functions as many procedures follow the circadian rhythm in the body. Kaala is one of the bases for classifying conditions like acute and chronic diseases; and natural or timely (Kaalaja) and premature or untimely (Akaalaja) diseases. Kaala has a role in drug collection, formation, preservation, and administration. The strength and luster of the person is enhanced when he follows the suitable diet and regimen for every season and practices it accordingly. Thus, Kaala is helpful in maintaining health and in understanding the etiopathology and management of diseases. In this article we will discuss importance of time factor for maintenance of healthy life as well as management of diseases along with critical review of ‘Kaala’.

Published: June 2023

Vesicles and bullae are accumulation of fluid within or under the epidermis. Blisters, whether large bullae or small vesicles, can arise in a variety of conditions. Blisters may result from destruction of epidermal cells (a burn or a herpes virus infection). Loss of adhesion between the cells may occur within the epidermis (pemphigus) or at the basement membrane (pemphigoid). Sometimes, there are associated inflammatory changes in the dermis (erythema multiforme/vasculitis) or a metabolic defect (as in porphyria). In Ayurveda all skin disease have been described under the umbrella of Kustha. Kushtha is divided into two types Maha Kushtha and Kshudra Kushtha. Mahakushtha again divided in to seven types and Kshudra Kushtha into eleven types. Out of eleven types Vishphot is one of them. Vesiculobullous disorder resemble to Vishphot. The objective of this article is to analyze Vishphot and Charmadal its etiology, etiopathogenesis, management from different Ayurvedic literature. Though Vishphot and Charmadal is included under Kushta, hence etiology, etiopathogenesis, and management are same. Sapta Dravya i.e., Three Dosha and Tvak, Rakta, Mamsa, Lasika plays an important role in etiopathogenesis of Kushtha as well as Vishphot having predominance Pitta Kapha Dosha.
A review on analysis of Dosha predominance in patient of Shotha (oedema) with the help of Rupa (symptoms)
Authors: Maske Vijay , Manwatkar Mayuri
Published: June 2023

Principles of Ayurveda emphasise firstly on diagnosis of disease and then on the treatment. Nidanpanchaka helps for the diagnosis of disease. Rupa is one of the Nidanpanchaka which reflects the present status of disease along with the Dosha predominance and state of Dosha like Ama (unripe), Pakwa (ripe), etc. which helps in diagnosis and treatment as well. Shotha is explained in all the classical texts of Ayurveda which depicts its importance. It is one of the most common presentations seen in patients. With the analysis of symptoms present in patient of Shotha, we can ascertain the Dosha predominance and can plan the treatment accordingly. So, the present article focuses on to study the symptoms of Shotha to analyse the Dosha predominance in it.

Published: June 2023

Appropriate nutrition is an important pillar for healthy lifestyle. A child body requires energy to perform all basic functions of body like inducing growth and maintaining a healthy immune system. Healthy dietary habits from childhood are basic prerequisite for longevity and productivity. Nutrition offers the building elements for the development of new Dhatus. Dhatus are continually being broken down to extract energy. So, replenishing good quality Dhatus is essential for this. In Ayurveda, eating foods are energizing the mind. Let my food be my medicine. Acharya Kashyapa described healthy diet habits as fundamental unit for longevity of an individual. Effect of food with different Rasa has been described in detailed and scientific manner for improvement of health with optimum and healthy growth of child and longevity which is actual purpose of Ayurveda as Dirghayu. Health depends on the food we intake. Strength, health and life depend on Agni but Agni is also constantly replenished from the nutrition. So, to maintain Sama Agni eating balanced foods are essential. Toddlers and preschoolers need adequate intake to achieve full growth and development. There are some basic principles in Ayurveda that apply to provide essential nutrition to kids. When we talk about feeding children, there are various healthy food options reflecting all the six tastes that are sweet, salty, sour, pungent, astringent and bitter. Each of them has a significant effect on the body and when children’s diet is all taken care of their body gets all the nutrients it needs for growth.
THE EFFECT OF ADDITION BISPHENOL-A-POLYCARBONATE FROM CD-R WASTE AS A CATALYST FOR HYDROGEN PRODUCTION
Authors: Mas'ud Sifa'ul , Sulaiman Abdul Mudjib , Syahputra Hogi , Purnami Purnami
Published: June 2023

In producing hydrogen, various methods can be used, one of which is the electrolysis of water. Electrolysis is a method for breaking water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen by using an electric current. Electrolysis does not require complicated equipment and systems, so it can be said to be the easiest method of producing hydrogen. But of the various methods for producing hydrogen, the electrolysis method is not widely used because of its low efficiency. Because of this, many efforts have been made with the aim of increasing hydrogen production in the electrolysis of water. In this paper, we use Bisphenol-A-Polycarbonate (BPA) compounds obtained from unused CD-R layers. BPA has aromatic compounds that have been tested by FTIR. Aromatic compounds can generate their own magnetic field; this magnetic field is used to disrupt hydrogen bonds in water so that the electrolysis process can be more optimal. It is also known that, on the surface of BPA, it has a tendency to be positively charged by FESEM testing. The predominantly positive BPA surface works effectively to attract OH- ions. This causes a lot of H+ ions to move freely so that the solution becomes more acidic, which results in easier mobility of electric currents. With the addition of 3 grams of BPA, it can produce 46% more ppm of hydrogen than conventional.

Published: June 2023

Cold rolling process in metal could increase its strength and hardness, but also induces mechanical anisotropy. This is caused by unresolved plastic strain and microstructural changes caused by plastic deformation exerted by pair of rolls at a relatively low temperature. This research aims to provide understandings on anisotropic and strain rate sensitive behaviour of St-37 mild steel. The microstructure of rolled and unrolled St-37 plate were observed in 3 directions relative to the rolling direction. The cylindrical specimens were then prepared from rolled plate with 33.3% reduction in the orientation of 0o, 45o, and 90o relative to the rolling direction. Specimens were also prepared from unrolled plate as comparison in the same directions. These specimens were then tested in compression loading, first in quasi-static condition, and then by using Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) at the strain rate of 1200 s-1. The experimental results in the form of stress-strain curves are used to obtain the parameters of Simplified Johnson-Cook viscoplastic model. The anisotropy of yield strength in rolled specimens could be seen on both quasi-static and high strain rate condition, where the highest strength found on the specimens perpendicular to the rolling direction. In addition, the effect of cold rolling to the strain rate sensitivity of the material were also captured successfully in this study, where specimens from rolled plate show less strain rate sensitivity compared to the unrolled specimens.

Iron deficiency anemia is a prevalent nutritional deficiency observed among young girls globally. In the city of Hail, college students frequently opt for fast food available at their college food mall. The primary objective of this study is to examine the level of knowledge pertaining to Iron-Deficiency Anemia and awareness regarding a diet rich in iron among female university students. The aim is to promote an understanding of preventive measures for this condition. A cross-sectional research design was employed, and a sample of 700 girls aged between 18 and 25 years, who were non-medical undergraduate students at the University of Hail, was selected using the non-probability convenience sampling technique. Notably, undergraduate students enrolled in the Medicine, Nursing, and Science Colleges were excluded from the study. Data collection was performed using a standardized, pre-designed, and pretested questionnaire. The questionnaire encompassed various aspects, including demographic variables, distribution of obstetrics and menstrual history, questions regarding knowledge about anemia, knowledge about iron-rich foods, and health-seeking behavior. The findings of the study revealed that 35.1% of the students exhibited inadequate knowledge about anemia, and a significant proportion (85.9%) displayed inadequate knowledge about incorporating iron-rich foods into their diet. Additionally, 68.7% of the participants experienced heavy blood flow during their periods for a duration of 4-7 days, while 64.1% had a history of anemia. These results emphasize that this particular demographic group, which consists of women of childbearing age, lacks awareness regarding the importance of iron-rich foods and their inclusion in their diet. Consequently, enhancing their dietary habits and increasing their knowledge about iron-rich foods would help prevent the detrimental effects of anemia. Upon the completion of data collection, all study participants were provided with an informational pamphlet containing details about iron deficiency anemia and its preventive measures.

Background

Mood disorder has emerged as a serious concern for public health; in particular, bipolar disorder has a less favorable prognosis than depression. Although prompt recognition of depression conversion to bipolar disorder is needed, early prediction is challenging due to overlapping symptoms. Recently, there have been attempts to develop a prediction model by using federated learning. Federated learning in medical fields is a method for training multi-institutional machine learning models without patient-level data sharing.

Objective

This study aims to develop and validate a federated, differentially private multi-institutional bipolar transition prediction model.

Methods

This retrospective study enrolled patients diagnosed with the first depressive episode at 5 tertiary hospitals in South Korea. We developed models for predicting bipolar transition by using data from 17,631 patients in 4 institutions. Further, we used data from 4541 patients for external validation from 1 institution. We created standardized pipelines to extract large-scale clinical features from the 4 institutions without any code modification. Moreover, we performed feature selection in a federated environment for computational efficiency and applied differential privacy to gradient updates. Finally, we compared the federated and the 4 local models developed with each hospital's data on internal and external validation data sets.

Results

In the internal data set, 279 out of 17,631 patients showed bipolar disorder transition. In the external data set, 39 out of 4541 patients showed bipolar disorder transition. The average performance of the federated model in the internal test (area under the curve [AUC] 0.726) and external validation (AUC 0.719) data sets was higher than that of the other locally developed models (AUC 0.642-0.707 and AUC 0.642-0.699, respectively). In the federated model, classifications were driven by several predictors such as the Charlson index (low scores were associated with bipolar transition, which may be due to younger age), severe depression, anxiolytics, young age, and visiting months (the bipolar transition was associated with seasonality, especially during the spring and summer months).

Conclusions

We developed and validated a differentially private federated model by using distributed multi-institutional psychiatric data with standardized pipelines in a real-world environment. The federated model performed better than models using local data only.

As we progress deeper into the digital age, the robust development and application of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology, specifically generative language models like ChatGPT (OpenAI), have potential implications in all sectors including medicine. This viewpoint article aims to present the authors’ perspective on the integration of AI models such as ChatGPT in clinical medicine and medical education. The unprecedented capacity of ChatGPT to generate human-like responses, refined through Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback, could significantly reshape the pedagogical methodologies within medical education. Through a comprehensive review and the authors’ personal experiences, this viewpoint article elucidates the pros, cons, and ethical considerations of using ChatGPT within clinical medicine and notably, its implications for medical education. This exploration is crucial in a transformative era where AI could potentially augment human capability in the process of knowledge creation and dissemination, potentially revolutionizing medical education and clinical practice. The importance of maintaining academic integrity and professional standards is highlighted. The relevance of establishing clear guidelines for the responsible and ethical use of AI technologies in clinical medicine and medical education is also emphasized.

Background

A potassium replete diet is associated with lower cardiovascular risk but may increase the risk of hyperkalemia, particularly in people using renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors. We investigated whether intracellular uptake and potassium excretion after an acute oral potassium load depend on the accompanying anion and/or aldosterone and whether this results in altered plasma potassium change.

Methods

In this placebo-controlled interventional cross-over trial including 18 healthy individuals, we studied the acute effects of one oral load of potassium citrate (40 mmol), potassium chloride (40 mmol), and placebo in random order after overnight fasting. Supplements were administered after a 6-week period with and without lisinopril pretreatment. Linear mixed effect models were used to compare blood and urine values before and after supplementation and between the interventions. Univariable linear regression was used to determine the association between baseline variables and change in blood and urine values after supplementation.

Results

During the 4-hour follow-up, the rise in plasma potassium was similar for all interventions. After potassium citrate, both red blood cell potassium—as measure of the intracellular potassium—and transtubular potassium gradient (TTKG)—reflecting potassium secretory capacity—were higher than after potassium chloride or potassium citrate with lisinopril pretreatment. Baseline aldosterone was significantly associated with TTKG after potassium citrate, but not after potassium chloride or potassium citrate with lisinopril pretreatment. The observed TTKG change after potassium citrate was significantly associated with urine pH change during this intervention (R=0.60, P < 0.001).

Conclusions

With similar plasma potassium increase, red blood cell potassium uptake and kaliuresis were higher after an acute load of potassium citrate as compared with potassium chloride alone or pretreatment with lisinopril.

O princípio nemo tenetur se ipsum accusare e os meios de obtenção de prova na lei do cibercrime
Authors: Melro Ana
Published: June 2023

Portugal evoluiu muito no que diz respeito à relevância dada aos crimes cometidos em ambiente digital. Tem sido uma preocupação constante, sobretudo, desde 2009, procurar entender o meio particular em que operam os cibercriminosos. Desde a transposição de Diretivas Europeias, até à criação legislativa específica, muito se tem feito nesse campo. Mas o que fica para os meios de obtenção de prova, em particular, no que diz respeito à precaução de salvaguardar um Direito Fundamental do arguido, que é o seu direito à não autoincriminação (Nemo tenetur se ipsum accusare)? Em termos de legislação nacional, o que se verifica é que há, ainda, um risco de se ver violado um direito que tem previsão constitucional, por falta de conhecimento do que deverá ser, por exemplo, o procedimento, quando o que se procura obter por parte do arguido é o acesso a uma password que protege documentos autoincriminatórios. Assim, aborda-se o direito à não autoincriminação, como, inclusivamente, protegido constitucionalmente, no contexto da Lei do Cibercrime, cujos princípios são os mesmos contidos na Lei processual penal (ou, como defende alguma doutrina, o Direito constitucional aplicado). O artigo aborda o direito processual penal e o direito do arguido à não autoincriminação à luz da Lei do Cibercrime.
O erro judiciário e a injustiça epistêmica no reconhecimento de pessoas

O presente artigo pretende demonstrar que os erros judiciários decorrentes de falhas no reconhecimento de pessoas estão relacionados à existência de estereótipos e ao fenômeno da injustiça epistêmica, melhor descrito por Fricker e Lackey. Afinal, de que forma esses estereótipos e a injustiça epistêmica se manifestam nesses casos? Essa pergunta será respondida a partir de uma pesquisa jurisprudencial, selecionando-se as decisões proferidas pelo STJ em Habeas Corpus e Revisão Criminal, entre 01/03/2012 e 31/03/2022, que tenham resultado em absolvição ou relaxamento da prisão em razão da inobservância do procedimento do art. 226 do CPP.  Os resultados mostram que os preconceitos que acometem indivíduos negros, de baixa escolaridade e de baixa renda, com empregos menos prestigiados e que já tiveram algum contato com a atividade criminosa não se manifestam de forma explícita, mas são determinantes para a ocorrência do erro judiciário. Por outro lado, os estereótipos ligados à natureza da infração penal e à posição processual da pessoa não apenas são bastante explícitos, como são assumidamente levados em conta pelo juízo. Esses estereótipos constituem o principal critério de distribuição de credibilidade às narrativas dos sujeitos processuais, revelando que a injustiça epistêmica é uma importante causa dos erros judiciários.
