Published: April 2023

In periodontology, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has emerged as a standard diagnostic and research instrument. According to the findings in research, its sensitivity and specificity make it an efficient and speedy method for detecting, identifying, and quantifying organisms. The spike (S) gene, the envelope (E) gene, the membrane (M) protein, the nucleocapsids (N) gene, and the open reading frame (ORF) were used for the molecular identification of various variations of SARS-Cov-2 infection since they are critical components in the viral genome. Using kits approved by the Iraqi Ministry of Health following the spread of the covid-19 pandemic, this study sought to shed light on the significance of primers in the identification of various SARS-COV-2 variations involving many genes such as spike (S), envelope (E), membrane (M) protein, nucleocapsid (N), and ORFab1. A total of (150) clinically diagnosed patients for COVID-19 were screened for this study to estimate the accuracy and efficacy of primers used in detecting these genes are precise in diagnosing the infection in correspondence with clinical findings. The findings revealed that 18 (22.666%) of the cases had severe symptoms such as fever, unproductive hacking, breathlessness, muscle aches, and weariness, Whereas 42 (28%) of patients had lesser symptoms, and 74 (49.333%) of cases had minor signs on their own.. Results showed that all genes were accurate and efficient in the molecular diagnosis of the virus during the period from the beginning of March 2021 up to the writing of this manuscript in December 2021; the conclusion indicates that primers used in detecting these genes are efficient and accurate in the diagnosis of different variations of SARS-CAV-2 and there is no alteration in the viral genome in those genes that can disturb the result.

Authors: Paz-y-Miño César , E. Leone Paola
Published: April 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic revealed a complex health problem for people and national health systems. Faced with the initial ignorance of the behavior of the SARS-COV-2 virus in populations, people turned to relief and alternative medicines. In Ecuador, the use of traditional or western medicine and the systematic approach of people to conventional medicine are evident realities. Our work aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding Covid-19 and the use of formal and traditional medicine to treat the disease or contagion. An open, personal and confidential survey was carried out, with 158 questions on general data, ethnicity, health status, covid-19 tests, use of self-medication, use of medicinal plants or other chemical products, and use of antibiotics or antiparasitics, among other data. In the control of the patients, six months after finishing the survey, they were asked about the acceptance of the vaccine and the decision to be vaccinated or not. The results in 3,000 persons (50% female and 50% male) show frequent use of alternative or traditional medicine, even in health personnel or university studies. The study's conclusions reflect that people choose any of the therapies they have access to and even mix traditional treatments with traditional ones that are unproven or toxic.

Published: April 2023

Heavy metals are toxic elements that have contaminated agricultural waters and soils due to their use in anthropic activities, generating bioaccumulation in food and biomagnification in the food chain. In this research, information was collected on the presence of heavy metals in different foods of plant origin in Ecuador, the first link in the trophic chain, to establish a baseline in the field of food toxicology. Information was extracted from the central databases, scientific journals and libraries' digital repositories, analyzing data on Cd, Hg, Pb and the metalloid As in 15 plants. According to the Mercosur standard, 14 exceeded the maximum permissible limit (LMP) of As, distinguishing the avocado (19.76 ± 1.36 mg/kg As). According to the Codex Alimentarius, 31% of the vegetables exceeded the LMP in terms of Cd; carrots (9.71 ± 8.66 mg/kg Cd) were the most contaminated. Mercury (Hg) was studied only in potatoes (0.04 mg/kg Hg), which was found to exceed the standard four times, while Pb surpassed the limits in 33% of the samples analyzed, sugarcane the vegetable with the highest concentrations of 4.32 mg/kg Pb. In conclusion, multi-metal contamination was evidenced in some vegetables, representing a risk to consumers' health and food safety.

Authors: Harter Claire , Ness Marina , Goldin Aleah , Lee Christine , Merenda Christine , Riberdy Anne , Saha Anindita , Araojo Richardae , Tarver Michelle
Published: April 2023

Background

Patient perspectives are central to the US Food and Drug Administration’s benefit-risk decision-making process in the evaluation of medical products. Traditional channels of communication may not be feasible for all patients and consumers. Social media websites have increasingly been recognized by researchers as a means to gain insights into patients’ views about treatment and diagnostic options, the health care system, and their experiences living with their conditions. Consideration of multiple patient perspective data sources offers the Food and Drug Administration the opportunity to capture diverse patient voices and experiences with chronic pain.

Objective

This pilot study explores posts from a web-based patient platform to gain insights into the key challenges and barriers to treatment faced by patients with chronic pain and their caregivers.

Methods

This research compiles and analyzes unstructured patient data to draw out the key themes. To extract relevant posts for this study, predefined keywords were identified. Harvested posts were published between January 1, 2017, and October 22, 2019, and had to include #ChronicPain and at least one other relevant disease tag, a relevant chronic pain management tag, or a chronic pain management tag for a treatment or activity specific to chronic pain.

Results

The most common topics discussed among persons living with chronic pain were related to disease burden, the need for support, advocacy, and proper diagnosis. Patients’ discussions focused on the negative impact chronic pain had on their emotions, playing sports, or exercising, work and school, sleep, social life, and other activities of daily life. The 2 most frequently discussed treatments were opioids or narcotics and devices such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation machines and spinal cord stimulators.

Conclusions

Social listening data may provide valuable insights into patients’ and caregivers’ perspectives, preferences, and unmet needs, especially when conditions may be highly stigmatized.
How can otolaryngology use technology to reduce its carbon footprint? (Preprint)
Authors: Rujeedawa Tanzil
Published: April 2023

UNSTRUCTURED

Climate change is arguably the biggest health threat of the 21st century. The NHS is a big polluter contributing 6.3% of carbon emissions in England. By drawing upon literature and my own insights, different mechanisms of promoting sustainability will be explored in otolaryngology. Making otolaryngology greener is possible and not only is it the right thing to do but it is also economically sound. Some of the proposed changes are small scale and behavioural that can be adopted at the individual or departmental level. Other proposed changes such as digitisation will require organisational change and significant investments. However, both big and small changes are required given the massive impact that climate change can have on our health and future. It is important however to remember that patients’ wellbeing remains the first priority and that for a lot of the proposals, more research is needed before being implemented.
Correlation between the Challenges of Teachers in the New Learning Delivery Modality and Leadership Practices of School Heads
Authors: A. Esmade Mary Faith
Published: April 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic affected education worldwide due to community lockdown and quarantine, driving students and school personnel to study and work from home and leading to various learning delivery modalities. Findings revealed that teachers’ challenges in the new learning delivery modality were “to a very large extent.” On the other hand, school heads “highly performed” their leadership practices with teachers claiming them “performed.” Moreover, teachers’ challenges in the new learning delivery modalities were moderately and positively correlated with and significantly related to the school heads’ leadership practices. The study concludes that the current instructional modality limit learners’ interaction opportunities with their teachers and classmates and affect their holistic development. Likewise, the disparity between teachers’ and school heads’ perspectives on the leadership practices could be due to the limiting connection between teachers and school heads, failing to monitor activities fully in the course of duty. The study recommends that teachers are encouraged to study and attend training to understand how different learning modalities are related to students’ experiences and learning to be fully equipped with what constitutes effective instructional design in distance learning contexts. Finally, leadership skills and managerial practice standards should be explored among school heads to structure quality school monitoring and evaluation to help teachers cope with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Authors: Arellano Ferro A. , Bustos Fierro I. , Muneer S. , Giridhar S.
Published: April 2023

A CCD VI imaging time-series over 11-year is employed to explore the light curves of stars in the field of Palomar 2. We discovered 20 RRab and 1 RRc variables. A revision of Gaia-DR3 data enabled us to identify 10 more variables and confirm the RRab nature of 6 of them and one RGB. The cluster membership is discussed, and 18 variables are most likely cluster members. The Fourier light curve decomposition for the 11 best quality light curves of cluster member stars leads to independent estimates of the cluster distance 27.2 ± 1.8 kpc and [Fe/H]ZW = -1.39 ± 0.55. We confirm the cluster as of the Oo I type.

In this article, equilibrium points and families of periodic orbits in the vicinity of the collinear equilibrium points of a binary asteroid system are investigated with respect to the angular velocity of the secondary body, the mass ratio of the system and the size of the secondary. We assume that the gravitational fields of the bodies are modeled considering the primary as a mass point and the secondary as a rotating mass dipole. This model allows to compute families of planar and halo periodic orbits that emanate from the equilibrium points L1 and L2. The stability and bifurcations of these families are analyzed and the results are compared with the results obtained with the restricted three-body problem (RTBP). The results provide an overview of the dynamical behavior in the vicinity of a binary asteroid system.

Visión antropológica en el arte de entreguerras y sus publicaciones: un giro etnográfico
Authors: Mañero Rodicio Javier
Published: April 2023

Durante el periodo de entreguerras se afianzó una nueva apreciación de las entonces llamadas artes “primitivas” determinada por la difusión de estudios antropológicos. Las publicaciones artísticas se abrieron a los científicos y a tratamientos de aquellas producciones netamente etnográficos, ajenos a las valoraciones estéticas. Esto ocurre con especial intensidad en el ámbito francés. Ciñéndose a él, esta investigación atiende sobre todo a las colaboraciones científicas en las revistas de arte moderno, y a cómo sus planteamientos y nuevas contextualizaciones antropológicas van permeando en la crítica de arte y en la propia obra artística, hasta poder identificar una suerte de giro etnográfico. Muy centrada en documentos de época, en ocasiones poco frecuentados, la investigación pretende aportar un relato significativo y conceptualmente completo, atento a las distintas sensibilidades artísticas, sobre la implantación de ese giro a lo largo del periodo tratado.

Published: April 2023

Abstract: Image generation has been a significant field of research in computer vision and machine learning for several years. It involves generating new images that resemble real-world images based on a given input or set of inputs. This process has a wide range of applications, including video games, computer graphics, and image editing. With the advancements in deep learning, the development of generative models has revolutionized the field of image generation. Generative models such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) have demonstrated remarkable success in generating high-quality images from input data. The focus of this paper is to propose a new technique for generating highquality images from text descriptions using Stack Generative Adversarial Networks (StackGAN). Through a sketch-refinement process, the problem is also divided into smaller manageable problems. The proposed StackGAN model comprises two stages, Stage-I and Stage-II. Stage-I GAN generates low-resolution images by sketching the primitive shape and colors of the object based on the provided textual description. Stage-II GAN generates high-resolution photo-realistic images with refined details by taking the Stage-I results and textual descriptions as inputs, along with detecting defects and adding details.

Abstract: This thesis gives a comparative seismic analysis of high rise structure in zone III and zone IV using the New IS 13920- 2016 standards. The recent earthquakes in India revealed unequivocally that conventional structural design and construction techniques fail to meet fundamental seismic resistance standards. The use of ductile design and detailing methods in conventional construction is a critical topic that requires attention. The ductility of reinforced concrete structures as a whole is a difficult topic. However, specific design factors and reinforcing details may be used in particular critical spots of the building structure to reduce seismic damage and life-threatening collapse. The approaches are straightforward, affordable, and extensively detailed in the Indian Bureau of Standard Code of Practice's standard code of practise (IS13920). It is recommended to conduct a comparative analysis of the dynamic behaviour of high-rise structures using the response spectrum approach in accordance with IS 1893 Part1-2016 The investigation of characteristics including displacement, base shear, and tale drift. Examining factors including modal frequencies and acceleration in response spectrum load instances in both the X and Y directions. Ductile design of high rise structures in accordance with IS 13920-2016's new codal requirements. Additionally, it is recommended to analyse and design multi-story buildings using computational software such as ETABS and compare characteristics such as storey displacement, base shear and storey drift. The shear wall at the corner reduces storey X displacement by 46.245%. The intermediate shear wall reduces displacement by 54.617%. The central shear wall reduces displacement by 68.72%. Lower level shear wall displacement is central. Shear wall at corner reduces storey drift in X direction by 49.374%. Shear wall at centre reduces drift by 39.716%. Shear wall at centre reduces drift by 2.638%. Lower story drift in central shear wall. Shear wall at corner base shear drift is 63.646% greater than without shear wall. Base shear is 64.006% higher with a middle shear wall. Shear wall at the centre increases base shear by 65.765%. Center shear wall has stronger base reaction.

Authors: Flores-Cano Olga Beatriz
Published: April 2023

En la actualidad el concepto de felicidad es de gran importancia. Se ha considerado sinónimo de bienestar, o también, como una parte central de éste a la par de la satisfacción. La felicidad es relevante tanto para la persona como en lo social y sirve como un principio en la planeación de las políticas públicas. Por ello su medición ha cobrado importancia. Se observó que la felicidad es afectada por su contexto cultural: mostró elementos distintivos en su definición en diferentes países. Entonces, ¿cuál es la definición de felicidad para las y los mexicanas y mexicanos habitantes de la Ciudad de México y su Zona Metropolitana? Una muestra de 201 participantes, hombres (48.3%) y mujeres (51.7% ), habitantes de la Zona Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México, con 20 años y más (Media=39.97 años; D.E.=13.56 años; 20 a 34, 36.3%; 35 a 49, 32.3%; y 50 y más 31.3%) respondieron un formato de redes semánticas (se incluyó el consentimiento informado) para definir el concepto de felicidad. Se llevaron a cabo análisis de distancias geodésicas del grafo de felicidad (Gephi 9.2). La felicidad se mostró como un concepto social complejo. Los nodos centrales fueron amor, familia y alegría. Hubo dos conjuntos principales que definieron la felicidad. Por un lado, estuvieron las relaciones significativas como la familia, los amigos, y el trabajo. Por otro, se mostraron las emociones positivas como el amor, la alegría, y la tranquilidad. Esta definición muestra similitudes y diferencias cualitativas con las definiciones de otras culturas.

Congenital malformations (CM) are structural/functional alterations that occur in the fetus, leading to a socio-economic and emotional impact. This is a retrospective, documentary study with a quantitative approach aiming at identifying the relationship of risk factors and maternal epidemiological profile with the occurrence of CM. It was based on the analysis of 37 medical charts of pregnant women in a municipality in the metropolitan region of Curitiba-PR, between 2019 and 2021. The data revealed a profile: pregnant, multiparous, obese women between 18 and 36 years old, with comorbidities, with no preconception evaluation. The most affected organic systems were the cardiovascular and the nervous systems or multiple systems. An increased risk of fetal malformations was observed in obese women over 25 years old, who used alcohol or tobacco. Although a single cause of CM in that period and place has not been identified, an association was established between maternal epidemiological factors and characteristics of fetal malformations, highlighting the need for preconception health education.
Managing Climate Change Like a Central Banker: The Political Economy of Greening the Monetary Technocracy
Authors:   , Quorning Stine
Published: April 2023

It is becoming increasingly clear that if we want to live up to the Paris Agreement and meet the 1.5°C commitment, our societies and economies need to undergo systemic changes at an unprecedented scale. All sectors in the economy will be affected and climate change will therefore likely impact financial and price stability. This realization has led central banks to engage with climate-related issues, leaving central bankers in an unprecedented situation: working with a policy domain outside their immediate knowledge remits. Climate change has become a mainstream issue in central banks, and it is against this background that I seek to understand how central bankers have approached the work with climate change and the extent to which central banks have been repurposed as they have set out to deal with the greatest challenge of our time: the climate crisis. The dissertation draws on insights from International Political Economy, where the dominant approach has been to view central banking from institutional, structural, or ideational perspectives. Here I utilize a micro-level analytical approach constructed around three factors: practices, expertise, and legibility. To understand how central bankers have worked with climate change, I examine the practices they have incorporated, with a focus on climate stress testing and modeling of climate-related risks. I also discuss the types of expertise deployed as I seek to understand how central bankers, trained mainly as economists, work in an entirely new policy domain such as climate change. Finally, I set out to analyze how central bankers have made climate change legible by turning climate change into a risk issue; for central bankers, climate change becomes a risk-based issue, similar to other routine economic problems. I argue central bankers have approached climate change like any other task. In treating climate change as a risk issue, central bankers have been able to work with climate change using their existing expertise and adapting their modeling frameworks to deal with climate-related risks, like any other financial risk. Thus, even though climate change represents a new policy domain, central bankers have maintained the status quo, and subsumed climate change under their current modus operandi. The necessary fundamental changes to the conduct of central banking in the age of anthropogenic climate change remain absent. Despite the urgency of the climate crisis, it is business as usual for the central banks.

Neste artigo, apresentamos o modo como o encaminhamento didático-metodológico do Currículo Cultural da Educação Física denominado ressignificação emerge nas aulas do componente e alguns de seus possíveis efeitos nos modos de subjetivação dos discentes. Por meio de uma autoetnografia, produzimos um relato de prática pedagógica, o qual analisamos com base no quadro teórico que ancora essa perspectiva curricular e nas noções de governamentalidade e contraconduta desenvolvidas por Michel Foucault. Notamos que a ressignificação desponta nas ações de resistência promovidas pelos discentes em relação aos modos de regulação das aulas e da prática corporal em estudo. Visto que essas resistências possibilitaram aos discentes elaborarem ações de contraconduta. Um processo que possibilitou outras conduções de si, do outro, assim como diferentes formas de ser, viver e pensar sobre a prática corporal em estudo, potencializando práticas de liberdade.
Educação Física que não escolhe, acolhe

O objetivo deste estudo é compreender como professores de Educação Física que atuam inspirados pelo currículo cultural abordam as diferenças em suas práticas pedagógicas. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, com enfoque etnometodológico e norteado pela teoria queer. Participaram da pesquisa quatro professores de Educação Física do Colégio Pedro II. O método de coleta de dados foi a entrevista semiestruturada. Utilizaram-se os cinco conceitos-chave da etnometodologia como categorias a priori para auxiliar na compreensão e análise dos dados. Justifica-se este estudo em função dos vários caminhos didático-pedagógicos culturalmente orientados que impedem o devir da imprevisibilidade das diferenças. Concluímos que o aporte teórico queer potencializa o poder de reflexão e contestação do currículo cultural de Educação Física, pois evita que ações docentes a favor de identidades e grupos marginalizados se transformem em novos essencialismos.

O objetivo do estudo foi investigar as experiências que contribuíram para a ascensão de uma treinadora brasileira de tênis no alto rendimento. Para isso, esta pesquisa descritiva de abordagem qualitativa foi orientada por meio de um estudo de caso único. No momento do estudo, Fernanda tinha 30 anos de idade e 12 anos de experiência como treinadora em nível nacional e internacional. Enquanto estratégias para a coleta dos dados, foram utilizados nesta ordem: a Rappaport timeline e a entrevista semiestruturada. A análise desses dados foi conduzida por meio das orientações da análise temática reflexiva. Os resultados versam pelos seguintes temas: (a) Influência, Conexão e Inspiração: Personagens Fundamentais; (b) Perfil Promissor e Acolhimento no Contexto; e (c) Desenvolvimento Enquanto Treinadora: Os Constantes Aprendizados e Questionamentos no Percurso. De modo geral, Fernanda teve uma trajetória orientada por relações de influência com personagens de seu contexto. Os momentos fora de sua zona de conforto contribuíram para a definição de estratégias que visem suprir as necessidades e avançar perante as barreiras identificadas.

Treinadores esportivos eficazes são àqueles que refletem. Assim, a aprendizagem da reflexão apresenta-se enquanto necessária e, igualmente, desafiadora a quem aprende e ensina, em especial no contexto de ensino superior brasileiro, caracterizado pela lógica do acúmulo de conhecimentos, tendo como padrão o ensino prescritivo. Entretanto, o estágio pode ser concebido enquanto ambiente potencial à aprendizagem, tendo em vista o componente da experiência, necessário aos processos reflexivos. Este ensaio teórico objetivou, com isso, apresentar dois guias conceituais à compreensão e organização de processos de ensino da reflexão na aprendizagem de estudantes-treinadores nos contextos de estágios. Entendemos que os guias apresentados trazem subsídios necessários para docentes que visam fomentar o desenvolvimento de treinadores reflexivos em seus ambientes de formação.
Pistas para Pensar o Cuidado no Contexto Hospitalar

Published: April 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é dar voz a reflexões produzidas entre psicólogas, estudantes de psicologia e professoras e/ou trabalhadoras da saúde durante e após o desenvolvimento de uma experiência cartográfica de cuidado compartilhado, suscitada por rodas de conversa com cuidadores de pacientes internados em um hospital geral no interior do estado do Espírito Santo. Diante do trabalho realizado com as rodas, nos foi possível pensar e repensar a nossa atuação, colocando em análise as práticas da psicologia hospitalar, e como podemos reinventá-las diariamente, principalmente quando nos colocamos disponíveis para as modulações do campo e para os desvios das rotas planejadas. O caminho teórico-metodológico cartográfico, a partir de leituras esquizoanalíticas, possibilitou que colocássemos em xeque o lugar engessado do especialista, além de fortalecer a possibilidade do trabalho com grupos em uma emergência hospitalar.

Published: April 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo fazer algumas reflexões sobre a utilização da Cartografia de Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari e a Arqueogenealogia de Michel Foucault como abordagens metodológicas para a elaboração de estudos em determinados territórios e campos de saber. Para isso, conceitua-se as duas abordagens a partir das pistas conceituais deixadas pelos autores em seus escritos. Em seguida, realiza-se uma análise das abordagens de modo a pensar sobre as condições que estas podem oferecer para conversações com estudos históricos e do campo psi. O artigo analisa os operadores conceituais dos estudos de arquivos, da recepção e dos usos das práticas na História Cultural; do rizoma, multiplicidade, acontecimento e singularidade na Cartografia e das análises de saber-poder na Arqueogenealogia. A História Cultural oferece ferramentas potentes para a realização de trabalhos com documentos por meio da Arqueogenealogia e da Cartografia, na medida em que apresenta modos de trabalhar com as práticas singulares e múltiplas na tensão dos fazeres locais em forças processuais em conversação entre o campo psi e o histórico por meio da Arqueogenealogia, da Cartografia e da História Cultural.
