Flora del Oriente Antioqueño: biodiversidad, ecología y estrategias de conservación
Authors: Quijano-Abril Mario Alberto
Published: May 2023

Cuando se habla de flora de una región o un país, llega a la mente un listado interminable e incomprensible de nombres de especies de plantas, escritos en un lenguaje desconocido. A la par, estos escritos van acompañados de dibujos de estructuras de hojas, flores y frutos cuyas formas no se reconocen en la naturaleza. Se admira este tipio de libros, sus bellas ilustraciones; nos imaginamos lo misteriosa que es la naturaleza y admiramos con respeto a quienes han dedicado muchos años de sus vidas a su estudio, convencidos de que estos acontecimientos algún día serán reconocidos para bien de la humanidad. La presente obra se aleja de este modelo; lleva comprender que en la actualidad la tendencia mundial es la de entender la ecología de los ecosistemas, su funcionamiento, su fragilidad, la necesidad de conservarlos dentro de un concepto de economía ambiental y de los servicios ecosistémicos que prestan a la comunidad.
Entre historicismo e formalismo: dualidades, tensões e integrações no pensamento teórico-crítico de Antonio Candido (1941-1993)
Authors:   , Faria Luis Gustavo de Paiva
Published: May 2023

Este trabalho procura explorar o campo de pesquisa da história e da teoria da crítica literária, não apenas tomando os críticos como objeto de pesquisa, mas investigando a construção do pensamento de um autor clássico dos Estudos Literários no Brasil: Antonio Candido. A pesquisa se concentra em uma seleção de textos e ensaios do crítico com o objetivo de identificar as variações teóricas e metodológicas ao longo de sua obra, enfocando as relações entre formalismo e historicismo, aqui entendidos como modelos teóricos fundadores de uma “modernidade crítica” no âmbito da crítica literária ocidental. Nesse sentido, o corpus bibliográfico permite identificar a gradação de posicionamentos teórico-críticos ao longo de sua trajetória intelectual e, ao mesmo tempo, comparar regularidades e variações das abordagens assumidas ao longo do tempo. Observar, escutar e compreender atenciosamente a obra de Antonio Candido em seus próprios termos. Eis a ambição deste texto. A voz, a posição e o ângulo (e os equívocos, é evidente) são necessariamente meus. Espera-se, daí, que a voz, a posição e o ângulo de Antonio Candido também possam ser ouvidos. Não é sem alguma ironia que, no primeiro capítulo, argumento que o próprio Candido representa um modo específico de resistência à teoria, embora também tenha oferecido sofisticadas formulações teóricas a questões disputadas e complexas, algo que me proponho a estudar no segundo e terceiro capítulos. Em alguma medida, este trabalho pode ser ele próprio encarado como uma leitura avessa à vontade do autor em relação à sua obra. Palavras-chave: Antonio Candido. Crítica literária brasileira.

Honey Ant Readers
Authors: James Margaret
Published: May 2023

On entering school, rural Australian children from Indigenous backgrounds are thrown into an unfamiliar environment, linguistically and culturally, which sets them up for failure. The author, working closely with elders and community in Alice Springs, has drawn on her considerable experience in both Indigenous education and TESOL to address this disadvantage by developing a progressive series of early readers specifically targeted to rural Indigenous learners. This innovative series of books and resources is developed to teach both reading and Standard Australian English (SAE) to speakers of Aboriginal English (AE).
The presenter will outline the research, development, theory, publication and application of the Honey Ant Readers and will discuss their adaptability for all languages.
Focussing on the particular needs of Indigenous learners, and to assist them in acquiring reading, the content is made relevant by using Indigenous themes, stories and characters. Reading is scaffolded across 20 books in the following ways: the language moves from a light form of AE (referred to as ‘The language of the playground’) to SAE following natural stages of second language acquisition; phonic words, selected for their phonemic closeness to Central Australian Aboriginal languages are introduced gradually; the illustrations become more complex and the size and amount of text is graduated. The themes and style of storytelling are Indigenous, as are the characters in the books. Characters are referred to according to their role within family, rather than by name, for cultural reasons.
The presenter will demonstrate and share ideas on the use of interactive, supplementary resources, designed to reinforce the material in the HARs, and to engage learners of all ages, including teenagers, through physical participation and fun. Songs and rhymes, central to the pedagogy, are used to reinforce Standard English grammar and pronunciation, as well as the four macro skills of language learning: reading, writing, speaking and listening.
Results at this early stage show that as students engage with the materials and relate to the subject matter of the books, they find it easier to start reading. With an increased interest in reading, their literacy and oral language acquisition is accelerated. Of particular significance, parents are also engaging with their children’s literacy learning as the materials are equally relevant to them. The speaker will discuss the latest HAR research findings.
The principles of the pedagogy and methodology in the HARs are being applied to other learners throughout Australia and overseas. The first Readers for Chinese and Ghanaian ESL learners have been published, and the HARs have been translated into 6 Aboriginal languages.
Ekklèsia et oikia dans la gestion paulinienne de l’espace
Authors: Butticaz Simon
Published: May 2023

Contrairement à l’opinio communis selon laquelle le modèle de l’« Église de maison » se serait formé et développé aux origines du christianisme, dans le sillage de la mission paulinienne entre autres, la présente étude s’intéresse à l’indétermination topographique dont l’apôtre Paul entoure son ecclésiologie et questionne ses incidences sur les hiérarchies et statuts socioculturels dans lesquels la maisonnée antique rivaient ses membres au quotidien.
Remaniement de la « carte mentale » paulinienne dans les lettres à Timothée et Tite
Authors: Bulundwe K. Luc
Published: May 2023

La présente contribution propose un panorama des représentations géographiques des lettres à Timothée et Tite, aussi appelées les Pastorales. À l’aide du concept de « carte mentale », elle montre comment les trois lettres remanient la perception spatiale du champ d’action paulinien d’est vers l’ouest, au tournant du ier et du IIe siècle. Le déplacement spatial identifié correspond à la majorité des études historiques qui situent les trois lettres parmi les premières réceptions de Paul. Il met également en évidence les soubassements géographiques de la reconfiguration de la notion d’oikos dans ces premières réceptions, souvent occultés dans les études sur l’univers domestique des Pastorales. Cet article pave ainsi la voie à l’étude de la maison romaine dans les trois lettres proposée dans ce numéro par Michael Theobald.
« Comme il convient de se conduire dans la maison de Dieu » (1 Tm 3,15)
Authors: Theobald Michael
Published: May 2023

L’hypothèse largement admise selon laquelle l’ecclésiologie des épîtres pastorales est marquée par l’expérience de l’oikos antique (« ecclésiologie de l’oikos ») est remise en question depuis peu, surtout pour deux raisons : premièrement, la terminologie de l’oikos ne serait déployée qu’en 1 Tm, la thèse selon laquelle les trois épîtres formeraient un corpus épistolaire pseudépigraphique ne résisterait pas à la spécificité de chacune des trois épîtres. Deuxièmement, ce n’est plus l’oikos, mais la polis qui servirait de contexte social aux trois lettres qui se distinguent les unes des autres. Dans ce débat diffus, le présent article souhaite offrir une position plus nuancée. (1) Une analyse linguistique précise du champ lexical de l’oikos confirme son utilisation uniforme et métaphorique dans les trois lettres ; (2) entre-temps, l’Église locale est perçue publiquement comme une entité propre, distincte des synagogues, au sein de la polis ; (3) la référence à la polis de l’ekklèsia n’exclut pas que l’oikos agisse sur la vie de l’ekklèsia, tout comme celle-ci, à l’inverse, stabilise la vie dans l’oikos. Cette contribution propose trois exemples : le rôle des femmes, les représentations de la fonction de responsable d’église et le rapport à l’argent et à la richesse.

Published: May 2023

Objective: In this study, we investigate the effect of depressive symptoms in elderly on general and cancer health screening participation using the large epidemiological study data in South Korea.
Methods: This study was conducted on 1,977 people who responded to a health examination questionnaire among 2,360 adults aged 60 or older who participated in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) in 2020. Depressive symptoms were measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and classified as minimal (0-4), mild (5-9), and moderate and severe (10-27). To investigate the relationship between depressive symptoms and health screening participation, a multiple logistic regression model controlling covariates was used.
Results: Compared to the group with minimal depressive symptoms, the mild group did not show a significant difference (odd ratio [OR]=0.71, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]=0.45-1.13), but the moderate to severe group showed a significant negative relationship with general health screening participation (OR=0.59, 95% CI=0.35-0.99). There was a significant negative relationship between depressive symptoms and cancer health screening participation (mild group OR=0.77, 95% CI=0.48-1.23; moderate to severe group OR=0.50, 95% CI=0.28-0.87).
Conclusion: This study showed that people with depressive symptoms are less likely to get a general and cancer health screening. In order to promote health screening participation, policies that consider health behavior promotion programs and psychiatric interventions targeting moderate to severe depressive symptom groups are necessary

Hiện nay, bê tông cốt lưới dệt (BTCLD) là một trong những phương pháp hữu hiệu được ứng dụng để gia cường kết cấu bê tông cốt thép (BTCT). Tuy nhiên, nhiều nghiên cứu đã chỉ ra rằng, rất khó để xác định cường độ chịu kéo của lưới sợi dệt khi BTCLD tham gia chịu lực tại vị trí có ứng suất phức tạp, nhiều chiều như góc dầm, góc cột. Trong bài báo này, tác giả trình bày nghiên cứu thực nghiệm để xác định cường độ chịu kéo của cốt lưới dệt các bon bị uốn cong trong các mẫu BTCLD hình ô van có đường kính cong khác nhau khi chịu tải trọng kéo và nén đồng thời. Kết quả cho thấy tất cả các mẫu thí nghiệm đều bị phá hoại trong vùng cong. Cường độ chịu kéo trung bình của lưới sợi dệt bị uốn cong trong BTCLD khi chịu tải trọng kéo và nén đồng thời chỉ đạt từ 33% đến 48% giá trị cường độ chịu kéo lý thuyết của lưới sợi trần. Nguyên nhân của sự suy giảm cường độ của cốt lưới dệt là do lưới sợi bị uốn cong và ảnh hưởng của tải trọng nén tác dụng lên mẫu. Thí nghiệm được đề xuất trong bài báo góp phần phát triển các mô hình thực nghiệm để xác định các đặc tính cơ học của bê tông cốt lưới dệt khi gia cường cho kết cấu BTCT

Ésta se desarrolló desde las voces de las personas protagonistas –tres mujeres y tres varones trans, entre 19 y 60 años–, ya que son ellas quienes enfrentan múltiples desafíos derivados de vivir en una sociedad que sanciona a quienes no acatan las exigencias y mandatos de una sexualidad hegemónica. El estudio fue de corte cualitativo, no experimental, de carácter exploratorio con una temporalidad transaccional. Entre los resultados destacan ideas y prácticas transfóbicas asociadas a su persona; los obstáculos que enfrentan y las reacciones que manifiestan ante la ausencia de información y de referentes sobre las personas trans, en los ámbitos educativo y laboral.

Published: May 2023

Introduction and Aim: The number of patients suffering from end stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis has increased worldwide. Mineral bone disorders (MBD) commonly occur in ESRD patients. MBD is classified into high turnover bone disease and low turnover bone disease.  Biochemical parameters play a key role in classifying MBD. Data on adynamic bone disease (ABD) in hemodialysis (HD) patients is sparse. The aim is to study the prevalence and biochemical profile of ABD in hemodialysis patients.
 
Materials and Methods: This study was done as a cross sectional study in HD patients of a tertiary care hospital in South India. Baseline demographic data of the study population was collected. Biochemical data such as serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), bone markers for the diagnosis of CKD-MBD including serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) were collected. Based on the biochemical values, patients who had parameters suggestive of ABD were grouped as a separate cohort. Prevalence of ABD was calculated. Descriptive analysis of ABD cohort was done. Correlation of various bone markers with iPTH was carried out.
 
Results: The study population (n=150) included 96 male (64%) and 54 female (36%) HD patients. The mean age of the study population is 54.54±14.81 years. 32.7% (n=49) of our study population had ABD.  Serum calcium was found to be significantly higher in the ABD group. ALP and phosphorus were significantly lower in the ABD group.
 
Conclusion: The prevalence of ABD in our HD population was 32.7%. The prevalence of ABD was the same among males and females. There was significant correlation of iPTH levels with ALP, calcium, and phosphorus levels.

Published: May 2023

Introduction and Aim: Harnessing traditional knowledge of medicinal plants is important for the betterment of mankind. We must safeguard traditional knowledge from misuse by miscreants living in modern societies and knowledge must be available in the public domain for use in drug designing in the healthcare system. Since the beginning of recorded history, Indians have used plants as a source of medicine, and their cultural past is incredibly rich. This study was conducted to evaluate the oxidative stress-induced DNA damage prevention and antioxidant potential of Semecarpus kurzii found in the Bay Islands.
 
Materials and Methods: The scavenging of superoxide, hydroxyl radicals, nitric oxide (NO), 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl hydrate (DPPH) radicals, ferric reducing power (FRAP), and lipid peroxidation inhibition activity were tested to determine antioxidant activity. DNA damage inhibition test was used to evaluate the protection against oxidative DNA damage.
 
Results: The S. kurzii extract showed dose-dependent scavenging of DPPH, superoxide anion, nitric oxide, hydroxyl radical and reducing power evaluated by comparing with standard antioxidants (ascorbic acid, alpha-tocopherol and BHT). However, the nitric oxide scavenging (IC50 =186.47) and superoxide scavenging (IC50 = 678.32) was more than that of DPPH (IC50 =28.03) and Hydroxyl radical (IC50 =89.10) scavenging capacity. In addition, S. kurzii extract and ascorbic acid showed lipid peroxidation inhibition activity. The extract also exhibited DNA protection which was confirmed by the DNA damage inhibition assay.
 
Conclusion: Our results corroborated that, the methanolic extract of S. kurzii bark has substantial antioxidant activity and DNA damage inhibition. The potential antioxidant and oxidative DNA damage preventive activity could be due to the existence of polyphenolic compounds in the S. kurzii bark.

Published: May 2023

Introduction and Aim: Platelets are precious blood components with a very short shelf life of only 5 days. Appropriate usage is essential for judicial utilization of these components. Blood utilization metrics help in assessing the demand and understanding the utilization pattern of blood components and in improving transfusion practices. This study aims to audit and evaluate the platelet transfusion metrics and to know the utilization pattern of platelet transfusion practices at our center.
 
Methods: This was a retrospective observational audit conducted over a period of 6 months to evaluate the transfusion requests received for platelet transfusion and to understand the utilization pattern across various specialties.
 
Results: Platelet transfusions were done only in about half the requests received 855/1543(55.4%) comprising 92%
of Random Donor Platelet products and in the remaining Single donor platelet were transfused. The pre-transfusion platelet counts were documented in 1007(62.26%) of the request forms received. The utilization of platelet components was highest in General Medicine (29.6% SDP, 37.23% RDP) and Medical Oncology (40.8% SDP; 30.65% RDP).
 
Conclusion: Training and education at regular intervals about transfusion guidelines is essential for improvement of overall patient management. A standby order for platelet transfusion requests in par with type and screen of red cell components may help in better utilization of this valuable resource.

Introduction and Aim: Schizophrenia is a disastrous mental disorder that causes chronic disability. Even after many years of scientific research the underlying pathophysiology of this disorder is unclear. Deficiency of vitamin-B12 and folic acid are associated with many mental disorders. Increase in homocysteine increases risk of several disorders including schizophrenia.
 
Materials and Methods: Plasma homocysteine, serum vitamin B12 and folic acids were measured in 30 newly diagnosed schizophrenic cases and values were compared with 50 age and sex matched controls.
 
Results: Plasma homocysteine was significantly increased in schizophrenic cases in comparison to controls, vitamin B12 was significantly decreased in cases in comparison to controls. Increase in homocysteine in cases showed a significant negative correlation with vitamin-B12 of cases.
 
Conclusion: This study proves an association between increase in homocysteine and decrease in vitamin B12 with schizophrenia.

Published: May 2023

Introduction and Aim: Previously tension-type headache (TTH) was found to be highly prevalent among the general population worldwide, but the current data available were limited. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many life changes occurred to adapt to the situation, students started e-learning from home and their sleep quality (SQ) might be influenced. Physiotherapy and nursing students were studied as they are rarely being studied by researchers, information about them was very limited. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of TTH, SQ and the type of correlation between the two during the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted by sharing the online questionnaires composed of 2 main components: (i) Questionnaire formulated from diagnosing criteria for TTH of ICHD-3 (ii) Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), to PS and NS students from higher education institutions in Klang Valley, Malaysia.
 
Results: A total of 259 respondents were recruited in the study. The prevalence of TTH was 76.8% and SQ had a mean score of 5.12, which indicated poor SQ among PS and NS students, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Correlation between TTH and SQ was proved to be significant in this study (p=0.032, rs =0.133).
 
Conclusion: High prevalence of TTH and poor SQ among PS and NS students during the COVID-19 pandemic was determined. There is a weak positive correlation between TTH and SQ during COVID-19 pandemic.

Authors: Muthanna Khalid Mayasah , Ibrahim Nader Mohammed , Abdulla Hussein Mahood Rasha
Published: May 2023

Introduction and Aim: Idiopathic infertility accounts for at least 30% of all cases of infertility, and oxidative stress has been identified as a novel developing factor in idiopathic male infertility. Oxidative stress occurs when antioxidant defense mechanisms are outmatched by the creation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The purpose of this research was to examine the impact of enzymatic antioxidants (catalase and superoxide dismutase; CAT and SOD) on sperm DNA fragmentation and associated sperm alteration in Iraqi males with idiopathic infertility.
 
Materials and Methods: One hundred infertile guys (50 oligozoospermia and 50 asthenozoospermia) and 50 normospermia) had their superoxide dismutase, catalase, and malondialdehyde levels tested.
 
Results: Our study showed that the sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) of patients who suffered from oligozoospermia and asthenozoospermia was higher than that of individuals who suffered from normozoospermia. Seminal plasma SOD and MDA levels were higher in infertile participants compared to controls (P < 0.001) .The concentration of CAT in the seminal plasma of oligozoospermic and asthenozoospermic men was not significantly different from that of normospermic men. DFI correlated negatively with seminal antioxidant status (SOD, CAT) and MDA, while CAT correlated positively with SOD and MDA.
 
Conclusion: The impacts of oxidative stress include the breakage of DNA in sperm, with lipid peroxidation being the primary cause of idiopathic male infertility. This is associated with less successful fertility outcomes in couples. According to the findings that we obtained, the sperm DNA fragmentation index as well as malondialdehyde are substantially associated with the quality of the sperm.
