Authors: Medina Sarmiento Rosabel Francisca
Published: July 2023

La violencia de género afecta a una de cada tres mujeres en el mundo, constituye un problema social que requiere respuestas integrales para afrontarlo. En el ámbito jurídico, las decisiones judiciales pueden contribuir a brindar, por medio de la aplicación de la perspectiva de género y la interpretación dogmática jurídica humanista, un acceso pleno a la justicia para las víctimas y sobrevivientes de la violencia. En los casos en que estas devienen acusadas, se requiere una mirada sensible al género en el proceso penal, especialmente en cuanto a la apreciación de los requisitos de la legítima defensa y la valoración de la prueba. La investigación propone reflexionar a partir del análisis de criterios doctrinales y de la jurisprudencia respecto al tema.
Exercise therapy for diabetes mellitus
Authors: Jeong Chaiho , Sohn Tae-Seo
Published: July 2023

Background: Exercise lowers blood glucose levels, improves insulin sensitivity, and helps prevent complications; therefore, it is highly effective for prevention and treatment of diabetes mellitus. However, many patients with diabetes do not meet the recommendations for the amount of exercise. In this study, we focus on the latest recommendations and discuss exercise therapies that are helpful for patients with diabetes.Current Concepts: Many studies have shown that exercise helps to improve blood glucose control, physical strength, and cardiorespiratory capacity in patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes. Patients with diabetes are advised to perform both aerobic and resistance exercises. Aerobic exercise is suitable for most patients and can rapidly lower blood glucose levels. Resistance exercise improves muscle strength and endurance and is useful for long-term stabilization of blood glucose levels. Combined aerobic and resistance exercise improves insulin resistance and additionally controls blood glucose levels. Patients with diabetes are recommended moderate intensity exercise for at least 150 min/week, at least thrice a week, without interruption in exercise for >2 consecutive days.Discussion and Conclusion: Exercise is an essential recommended lifestyle intervention for patients with diabetes, and regular exercise is important. Furthermore, patients with diabetes should avoid low-energy activities and minimize sitting time.
PREVALENCE AND ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE OF MICROORGANISMS OF THE ENTEROBACTERIACEAE FAMILY ISOLATED FROM DOGS WITH PARVOVIRUS ENTERITIS AND CLINICALLY HEALTHY CONTROLS IN THE NORTHERN REGION OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

Published: July 2023

One of the main problems in the treatment of infectious diseases in pets is the spread of strains of microorganisms  resistant to antimicrobial drugs. The aim of the study was to isolate conditionally pathogenic microorganisms of the Enterobacteriaceae family from dogs with parvavirus enteritis and clinically healthy animals, with the determination of phenotypic and genotypic resistance to antimicrobial drugs. In the period from March 2021 to March 2023, biological material from dogs with parvavirus enteritis (n = 152) and healthy dogs (n = 196), taken in veterinary clinics of Kostanay, was analyzed. Eighty-two isolates of conditionally pathogenic microorganisms of the Enterobacteriaceae family were isolated and studied from 348 biomaterial samples taken from dogs with enteritis. Conditionally pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae were isolated in 26.3% of cases (40 strains), among them: 65% of E.coli strains, 12% - Klebsiella, 10% - Proteus, 8% - Citrobacter, 5%- Enterobacter. Forty two microorganisms were isolated from healthy dogs: 83% are E.coli microorganisms, 5% are Klebsiella and Proteus isolates, and 2% are Citrobacter and Enterobacter microorganisms. In all isolated isolates, the resistance/sensitivity to the action of antibacterial drugs was determined by the disco-diffuse method. It was revealed that all isolated strains of microorganisms showed sensitivity to the action of streptomycin, belonging to the group of aminoglycosides, showed resistance to tetracycline, doxycycline, ofloxacin, ampicillin, amoxicillin. Resistance genes have been identified to beta-lactams, aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, and sulfonamides. The resistance gene to fluoroquinolones was isolated from 1 E. coli isolate, from a healthy animal. Resistance genes were not detected in the DNA of Citrobacter, Enterobacter and Proteus isolates isolated from clinically healthy dogs. The most common genes were genes encoding resistance to aminoglycosides - 28% of strains, to beta-lactams - 21.9%, to tetracyclines - 13.4% of animals. It was concluded that the uncontrolled and frequent use of antibacterial drugs of the beta-lactam group and tetracyclines in dogs leads to the spread of genotypic resistance among microorganisms of the Enterobacteriaceae family.

Rhodococcus equi is characterized by pyogranulomatous bronchopneumonia, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, ulcerative enterocolitis, mesenteric lymphadenopathy, neonatal diarrhea, and sudden death of young animals. The development of a clinical disease is associated with the immunocompetence of the body of foals. As a worldwide soil infection, it is responsible for approximately 3% of all foal deaths, with a mortality rate of approximately 50%. The aim of our research was to study the morphological and biochemical properties of the putative R. equi strain isolated by us on the territories of our republic. At about 3-4 months of age, foals are capable of mounting an immune response against R. equi, which is why vaccination is given at an early age. The horse industry worldwide urgently needs an effective vaccine to prevent R. equi disease in foals, and current scientific research is focused on developing a vaccine using a local strain. We collected 27 pools manure and 27 pools soil samples from the Almaty, Zhambyl, Turkestan, and East Kazakhstan regions for bacteriological research. The samples were taken from exercise pens, areas within 100 meters of stables, passages, ditches, roads, and flower beds. We isolated a characteristic strain of R. equi and studied its cultural, morphological, tinctorial, and biochemical properties. Out of all the isolates, only the one from the Almaty region was a typical representative of the species Rhodococcus equi.

This review paper highlights the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in Cannabis industries. Growing Cannabis especially on a large scale can come with several complex challenges unique to the industry. Therefore, artificial intelligence (AI) has been implemented across all stages of the Cannabis supply chain. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a powerful tool that can be applied in all aspects of the Cannabis industry. However, developing an effective artificial intelligence (AI) model is a challenging task due to the dynamic nature and variation in real-world problems and data. In addition, a growing number of artificial intelligence (AI) -powered apps, Chatbots, and websites are launching to help medical Cannabis (marijuana) customers to find the products. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have become essential to Cannabis businesses that want to display the most relevant products and services to consumers when they visit companies websites. Digital medical Cannabis represents the combination of a Cannabis product and a second- generation Artificial intelligence (AI), system to create a new intellectual property (IP). With medicinal and recreational interests for Cannabis sativa L. growing, research related to the optimization of in vitro practices is needed to improve the current methods. Plant tissue culture experiments comprise a part of very complex studies with many problems. In plant tissue culture studies, optimization is highly desirable and the application of new computational approaches like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms using fewer inputs is on the rise in recent years. It has been shown that Generalized Regression Neural Network (GRNN) as one of the most powerful of ANNs has more accuracy than other artificial neural networks (ANNs) in modeling and forecasting in vitro culture procedures.

Abstract. During pregnancy, iron requirements are increased to meet optimal placental
and fetal growth and the expansion of the maternal red-cell mass and to prevent
complications related to the mother's iron deficiency anemia. Red-cell
parameters and iron status provide consistent additional information for
diagnosis of iron deficiency conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate
the serum iron status and its relation to hematological indexes in
pregnant mares. Blood samples were taken from 31 Spanish Purebred mares
over 11 months of pregnancy. Concentrations of iron (Fe), ferritin (Ferr),
transferrin (T), and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) increased
significantly and unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC) decreased as the
pregnancy progressed without changes in red blood cell (RBC) count,
hemoglobin (HB) concentration, packed cell volume (PCV), and transferrin
saturation (TSAT). Fe and Ferr were positively correlated (r=0.21). Fe and
T (r=0.69) and Fe and TSAT (r=0.94) were positively correlated, and Fe
and UIBC were negatively correlated (r=-0.69). T and TIBC were positively
correlated (r=1.00). Pregnancy in the Spanish Purebred mare is
characterized by a progressive increase in Fe, Ferr, T, and TIBC and a decrease in
UIBC without modification in hematological indexes. Hematological
parameters and iron status seem to indicate a sufficiency for Fe transport
and its related mobilization and utilization during gestation in Spanish
Purebred mares.
Drone-based photogrammetry combined with deep-learning to estimate hail size distributions and melting of hail on the ground

Abstract. Hail is a major threat associated with severe thunderstorms and an estimation of the hail size is important for issuing warnings to the public. Operational radar products exist that estimate the size of the expected hail. For the verification of such products, ground based observations are necessary. Automatic hail sensors, as for example within the Swiss hail network, record the kinetic energy of hailstones and can estimate with this the hail diameters. However, due to the small size of the observational area of these sensors (0.2 m2) the estimation of the hail size distribution (HSD) can have large uncertainties. To overcome this issue, we combine drone-based aerial photogrammetry with a state-of-the-art custom trained deep-learning object detection model to identify hailstones in the images and estimate the HSD in a final step. This approach is applied to photogrammetric image data of hail on the ground from a supercell storm, that crossed central Switzerland from southwest to northeast in the afternoon of June 20, 2021. The hail swath of this intense right-moving supercell was intercepted a few minutes after the passage at a soccer field near Entlebuch (Canton Lucerne, Switzerland) and aerial images of the hail on the ground were taken by a commercial DJI drone, equipped with a 50 megapixels full frame camera system. The average ground sampling distance (GSD) that could be reached was 1.5 mm per pixel, which is set by the mounted camera objective with a focal length of 35 mm and a flight altitude of 12 m above ground. A 2D orthomosaic model of the survey area (750 m2) is created based on 116 captured images during the first drone mapping flight. Hail is then detected by using a region-based Convolutional Neural Network (Mask R-CNN). We first characterize the hail sizes based on the individual hail segmentation masks resulting from the model detections and investigate the performance by using manual hail annotations by experts to generate validation and test data sets. The final HSD, composed of 18209 hailstones, is compared with nearby automatic hail sensor observations, the operational weather radar based hail product MESHS (Maximum Expected Severe Hail Size) and some crowdsourced hail reports. Based on the retrieved drone hail data set, a statistical assessment of sampling errors of hail sensors is carried out. Furthermore, five repetitions of the drone-based photogrammetry mission within about 18 min give the unique opportunity to investigate the hail melting process on the ground for this specific supercell hailstorm and location.
Aggregation of Slightly Buoyant Microplastics in Three-Dimensional Vortex Flows

Abstract. Although the movement and aggregation of microplastics at the ocean surface has been well studied, less is known about the subsurface. Within the Maxey-Riley framework governing the movement of small spheres with high drag in fluid, aggregation of buoyant particles is encouraged in vorticity-dominated regions. We explore this process in an idealized model of a three-dimensional eddy with an azimuthal and overturning circulation. In the axially symmetric state, particles that do not accumulate at the top boundary are attracted to a closed contour consisting of periodic orbits. Such a contour exists when drag on the particle is sufficiently strong. For small slightly-buoyant particles, this contour is located close to the periodic fluid trajectory. If the symmetric flow is perturbed by a symmetry-breaking disturbance, additional attractors arise near periodic orbits of fluid particles within the resonance zones created by the disturbance. Disturbances with periodic time dependence produce even more attractors, with a shape and location that recurs periodically, and which are composed of quasiperiodic orbits of rigid particles. Not all such contours attract, and particles released in the vicinity may instead be attracted to a nearby attractor. Examples are presented along with mappings of the respective basins of attraction.
