Authors: Tello Mario D.
Published: August 2024

Basados en las Cuentas Satélites del Turismo desde el 2015 al 2020 (MINCETUR 2021 y 2022), este trabajo estima los multiplicadores Tipo I y Tipo II del turismo en el Perú para los años 2015, 2019 y 2020. La metodología, basada en matrices insumo-producto, indica que los multiplicadores Tipo I y II son determinados por: la tecnología (a través de los coeficientes técnicos de la matriz insumo producto; los eslabonamientos entre los sectores del turismo y el resto de los sectores); y las participaciones en producción, valor agregado y empleo de sectores turísticos de los equivalentes para la economía; y de la demanda o consumo de los hogares. El resultado más destacado de las estimaciones del período 2015-2020 es que las órdenes de magnitud de los multiplicadores del complejo turístico han sido similares, los del Tipo I y los de Tipo II, implicando que la caída del empleo y PBI turístico en el 2020 se debe en parte a la caída drástica de la demanda turística. La demanda turística disminuyó en la contribución al PBI de la economía del 7% en el 2019 a 2.5% el 2020.

The Acidaminococcus genus is a part of the normal flora in gastrointestinal tract. It is a strictly anaerob Gram-negative coccus that is rarely pathogenic. We report the case of a 58-year-old man, who presented to surgery department A of the Charles Nicolle hospital, complaining of a wide inflammatory lesion in the anterior abdominal wall evolving for two weeks. Patient's anamnestic data included smoking, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus with poor compliance. The patient underwent flattening with excision of necrotic tissues and surgical drainage using a DELBET blade. Empirical antibiotic therapy with imipenem 1gx3/d, teicoplanin 400 mg 1 inj x2/d and gentamicin 400 mg 1 inj/d was administered pending bacteriological results. The bacteriological examination of a sample of necrotic tissue, after 72 h of incubation at 37 °C in anaerobic atmosphere, was able to detect a Gram-negative coccus, that the VITEK2 ANC system identified as Actinomyces canis with an accuracy of 80%. Whole genome sequencing was subsequently performed, that identified Acidaminococcus sp. AM33-14BH and demonstrated the following resistance genes: cfxa, tet(X) and tet(Q). An antibiogram for anaerobes was performed showing that the strain was resistant to amoxicillin but sensitive to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, piperacillin-tazobactam, ertapenem, imipenem, meropenem and rifampin. Patient's condition improved after treatment with imipenem for 2 weeks, followed by oral amoxicillin-clavulanic acid for 16 days.

This work highlights the role of molecular biology in the diagnosis of infections caused by anaerobes. Although the Vitek 2 ANC card provides rapid and acceptable identification of the most common anaerobic bacteria, improvements are needed for the identification of bacteria in the genera Acidaminococcus and Actinomyces.

Published: August 2024

The effect of different drying methods (oven drying, fluid bed drying, and freeze drying) on the fatty acid composition, astaxanthin content, antioxidant activity, and colour values of giant red shrimp (Aristaeomorpha foliacea) processing wastes were investigated. These results showed that freeze drying was the most effective method in preserving the quality of shrimp processing waste (SPW), resulting in higher levels of EPA and DHA, astaxanthin content, antioxidant activity, and desired reddish colour characteristics compared to other methods. These findings highlight the potential of freeze drying as a suitable technique for converting SPW into high value products.
Transformational Impact Rating System: a method to assess the impact potential of hospitals in low-resource settings
Authors: Mayner Sarah , Ismavel Vijay Anand , Shroff Vraj
Published: August 2024

Background: Historically, many Christian mission hospitals were established by home churches from developed countries in their colonies. With countries gaining independence and missionary medical staff leaving these hospitals, the majority have closed. These hospitals provide critical assistance to communities that need their services the most, yet they often lack the financial and human resources needed to realize their full potential for community impact. Existing charity rating organizations rate few charities and lack transparency for donors, and limited resources exist to help volunteers find organizations that would benefit from their services the most. We propose a transparent Transformational Impact Rating System (TIRS) that can be used by funding agencies and volunteer directing agencies to assess the potential for transformational impact of any hospital anywhere in the world.
Methods: Research to inform the rating system was conducted via a comprehensive review of existing charity rating organizations, in-depth interviews, and surveys. The rating system was developed by identifying, down-selecting, categorizing, and allocating weights to variables of importance. The rating system was then implemented via a custom-built website.
Results: To receive a score, data is collected from the hospital and surveys of donors, volunteers, staff, patients, and the local community. Hospitals receive an overall score and scores in each of five categories: regional impact potential, financial health, operational performance, external relations, and volunteer experience.
Conclusion: TIRS provides a proof-of-concept platform through which all hospitals in low-resource settings can make their impact potential visible to donors and volunteers. If TIRS (or modified similar tools) are used by those interested in helping mission hospitals, they will be more likely to adopt best practices, and invisible hospitals that are struggling in remote areas will be more likely to receive much-needed resources. The Christian community has a mandate to serve the poor and marginalized, resulting in a large number of Christian schools, colleges, and hospitals established across the globe. These establishments face increasing threats to their existence, and tools like TIRS can help direct declining funds and manpower to hospitals that have the highest potential for transformational impact.

Abstract In aquaculture worldwide, most of the chemotherapeutic agents used for disease control and treatment are unregulated chemical products derived from agriculture. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of therapeutic baths with albendazole against the monogeneans Anacanthorus spathulatus, Notozothecium janauachensis and Mymarothecium boegeri, which infest the gills of Colossoma macropomum, and the hematological and histopathological effects of this anthelmintic agent on these fish. Albendazole at a concentration of 500 mg/L was used in three baths of 24 hours each, with intervals of 24 hours between these baths. Three replications of this treatment were used, and the control group consisted of water from the cultivation tank. Afterwards, hematological, histopathological and parasitological analyses were conducted. We found that the therapeutic baths with albendazole at 500 mg/L presented high efficacy (94.9%) against monogeneans de C. macropomum and caused few physiological or histopathological alterations. Therefore, baths with albendazole at 500 mg/L, as used in this strategy, can be recommended for controlling and treating infections by monogeneans in C. macropomum.

Abstract Aim Considering the importance of knowing the organisms that make up the environments impacted by human activities, we aimed to create an inventory of the ichthyofauna of a bauxite mining area in the Eastern Amazon in this work. Methods Specimens were collected with sieves, trawls, and gill nets at 37 points in rivers and streams during two expeditions (July 2017 and September and October 2017). After euthanasia and laboratory processes, we identified each individual to the lowest possible taxonomic level, and samples were deposited in scientific collections. We analyzed the conservation status of the species on state, national, and international lists. Results A total of 109 species were identified, belonging to 28 families and six orders, emphasizing the Characiformes order (57 species) and the Characidae family (22 species). We identified two new species, and none are threatened with extinction. Conclusions The high species richness recorded in the Potiritá River basin is noteworthy, considering its relatively small area. This diversity should be considered in future environmental impact studies and in monitoring the ichthyofauna in areas affected by human activities.
Rainfall increases the biomass and drives the taxonomic and morpho-functional groups variability of phytoplankton in a subtropical urban lake
Authors: Silva Matheus Vieira da , Jati Susicley
Published: August 2024

Abstract: Aim To explore the short-term effects of rainfall events on the biomass, density, and richness of the phytoplankton community during dry and rainy periods, as well as on the selection and response of Morphology-Based Functional Groups (MBFG). Methods The phytoplankton community and abiotic environmental variables were sampled over a short period in a subtropical urban lake during the dry and rainy seasons (2018-2019). Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) were generated to analyze the relationship between phytoplankton biovolume, density, and richness with abiotic variables. The predictability of phytoplankton functional groups was assessed using Redundancy Analysis (RDA). Results There was an increase in the density and biovolume of the phytoplankton community during the rainy period. Species richness decreased with increased rainfall. The lake exhibited a high dominance of Cyanobacteria (MBFG VIII), mainly represented by Raphidiopsis raciborskii (Woloszynska) Aguilera in both periods studied. Conclusions We found evidence supporting the hypothesis that rainfall events increase the density and biovolume of phytoplankton. Morphology-based functional groups served as efficient indicators of the lake's environmental conditions.

Este artigo discute o entendimento da violência escolar e as ações de enfrentamento desenvolvidas dentro do processo educacional. O estudo tem como objetivo principal analisar os Planos Municipais de Educação da Região do Médio Rio Amazonas a respeito da violência escolar. A metodologia utilizada compreendeu a realização de uma pesquisa qualitativa, tendo como métodos de procedimento a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, onde foram analisados os Planos Municipais de Educação dos municípios de Barreirinha, Nhamundá e Boa Vista do Ramos – todos localizados no estado do Amazonas. Os resultados demonstram que os referidos documentos abordam de forma superficial e fragmentada o tema da violência no âmbito educacional, estando restritos às ações e estratégias voltadas para inclusão e enfrentamento de situações de violência mediante a participação de órgãos públicos como assistência social. Indica também que as políticas públicas educacionais voltadas para o tema da violência no contexto amazônico são ineficazes. Conclui-se que a violência escolar é um fenômeno multifacetado e complexo, enraizado na estrutura social e cultural do país. Em vista, é preciso colocar em prática as propostas inseridas nos Planos Municipais de Educação, num campo intersetorial, envolvendo componentes curriculares, prática docente e políticas públicas.

Published: August 2024

Background: The ever-evolving game of soccer is a complex physical contact team sport, exposing its participants to injury.
Objectives: To identify the point prevalence of soccer injuries among young amateur, semi-professional, and professional South African male soccer players.
Methods: The participation of male amateur (n=54), semi-professional (n=34), and professional (n=57) players provided a cross-sectional overview of the nature of the most predominant types and anatomical sites of injuries affecting soccer players (average age 23.9±4.7 years). All participants completed the Fuller soccer injury questionnaire, ISAK somatotype profiling and knee flexion/extension isokinetic concentric peak torque (Nm) evaluations at 60°/s.
Results: Fifty per cent of the players sustained soccer injuries (X2=0.9). Knee (20%) and ankle (19%) were the most vulnerable sites (X2=0.00001). Knee-injured players’ right quadriceps torque (199±37 vs 223±38 Nm) and percentage right quadriceps torque relative to body mass (286±54 vs 311 ±39%) was significantly weaker than the non-injured players (p<0.01). The injured players’ right hamstrings/quadriceps (H/Q) torque ratio further significantly differed from the non-injured players’ H/Q torque ratios (79±17 vs 70±9%) (p<0.01).
Conclusion: Male soccer players experience neuro-musculoskeletal injuries, with their knees and ankles being the most vulnerable. Knee-injured players had weaker quadriceps isokinetic strength than non-injured players.

Background. Inclusion requires a variety of pedagogical skills for the successful learning and well-being of all children. Teachers face daily challenges in meeting the needs of students while ensuring quality learning and facilitating personal development, regardless of their situation.
Objectives. The study aimed to clarify the activities of students who don’t participate in physical education and how it affects teachers’ sense of pedagogical competence (TSPC) in this area, by examining the effect of other potential factors and investigating the interactions with their perceptions of their students’ participation in pedagogical activities.
Materials and methods. The research approach used to perform this study was based on a survey of 918 pathological students (5.85 ‰) and 298 physical education teachers (including 74 females, all over 21 years old) in public schools. The questionnaire consisted of three parts: socio-demographic and student engagement questions, TSPC towards teachers’ inclusive practice, and their perceptions related to students’ participation in PES educational activities. The items in the last two parts were represented in Likert 5-scale format.
Results. The results showed that boys (62.66 %) with pathologies were more physically involved, and this trend was particularly marked in rural areas (69.40 %). Only a minority of students chose alternative activities during class (14.91 % chose another subject, 8.40 % went to the library). Socio-professional factors influence perceptions and TSPC regarding the participation of students with pathologies in physical activities and other learning tasks, varying according to each type of pathology. TSPC has a highly significant effect on perceptions of students’ inclusion in motor, organizational and observational tasks (p = 0.000). Finally, when teachers feel pedagogically incompetent, this is reflected in negative attitudes and perceptions toward inclusion.
Conclusions. According to the findings of this study, it has been revealed that boys with disabilities in rural areas are more physically active than girls. Furthermore, the study indicates that teachers’ perceptions and sense of pedagogical competence have a strong influence on the inclusion of students with disabilities.

UDA-5'RNA-protocol v1
Authors: Li Yun
Published: August 2024

Droplet microfluidics-based single-cell combinatorial indexing sequencing represents an attractive way to balance cost, scalability, robustness, and accessibility. However, current methods need a tailored protocol for specific modality respectively, which may limit their potential for automation. We introduce UDA-seq, universal droplet microfluidics-based combinatorial indexing for massive-scale single-cell multimodal sequencing. We demonstrate that when necessary, UDA-seq enables effectively generating more than 100,000 single-cell data in a single-channel experiment of droplet microfluidics. Meanwhile, UDA-seq provides a universal workflow for accomplishing several multimodal tasks, including single-cell co-assay of RNA and VDJ, RNA and ATAC, and RNA and CRISPR guide RNA.
NEBNext® Poly(A) mRNA Magnetic Isolation Module NEB #E7490S/L (Express Protocol) v1
Authors: Bonnevie Juliet
Published: August 2024

The NEBNext Poly(A) mRNA Magnetic Isolation Module is designed to isolate intact poly(A)+ RNA from previously isolated total RNA. The technology is based on the coupling of Oligo d(T)25 to 1 μm paramagnetic beads which is then used as the solid support for the direct binding of poly(A)+ RNA. Thus, the procedure permits the manual processing of multiple samples and can be adapted for automated high-throughput applications. Additionally, magnetic separation technology permits elution of intact mRNA in small volumes eliminating the need for precipitating the poly(A)+ transcripts in the eluent. Intact poly(A)+ RNA which is fully representative of the mRNA population of the original sample can be obtained in less than one hour. The new protocol for poly(A) mRNA enrichment (Section 1, Express Protocol) enables comparable performance to our current protocol (Section 2, Standard Protocol) using a substantially faster and more streamlined workflow.

The designs of two devices that can be created by using of crossed nanowires are considered: the first is a field-effect transistor with a metal gate and the second is a memory cell. The potential reliefs of the structures are formed due to the dimensional quantization of the electron energy. Calculations of the expected characteristics of the devices were carried out. It is shown that the considered field—effect transistor can provide a subthreshold slope significantly exceeding a thermoemission limit, and the memory cell provides time of information record in the order of ten femtoseconds.
Effect of Compression Ratio on the Performance of Direct-Injection Hydrogen Engines
Authors:   North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power, Xu Zhe
Published: August 2024

Direct injection of hydrogen into the cylinder can avoid abnormal combustion such as backfire, and the hydrogen engine can operate in a wider range of excess air coefficient. However, direct injection hydrogen engines still have problems such as high NOx emissions under high load conditions, reduced power output due to lean combustion, and low thermal efficiency. This paper adopts a variable compression ratio structural design to study the impact of compression ratio changes on the comprehensive performance of direct injection hydrogen engines. The results show that under the same working conditions, as the engine compression ratio increases, the turbulence in the engine cylinder becomes more intense, increasing the back pressure in the cylinder, inhibiting the diffusion of hydrogen, making the hydrogen distribution more concentrated and the combustion conditions in the cylinder better. The overall performance of the engine is significantly improved.
