Authors: Caiza Hernández Ricardo David , Guerrero Calero Juan Manuel
Published: January 2025

La evaluación de la calidad del agua en ríos tropicales es fundamental para la comprensión de los factores que inciden en la biodiversidad acuática y el funcionamiento de los ecosistemas. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo realizar una evaluación integral de la calidad del agua en tres ríos de la subcuenca del Río Blanco (Mindo, Cinto y Nambillo), utilizando Índices de Diversidad y Calidad de Agua, complementados con características ambientales del agua. Se muestrearon macroinvertebrados acuáticos y se midieron parámetros fisicoquímicos como pH, oxígeno disuelto, temperatura, conductividad y sólidos disueltos totales. Las diferencias entre los ríos se analizaron mediante ANOVA y la prueba de Kruskal-Wallis. Además, se aplicó un Análisis de Correspondencias Canónicas (ACC) para identificar las variables ambientales que influyen en la presencia-abundancia de los taxones. El Río Nambillo mostró las mejores condiciones ambientales. Los órdenes más abundantes fueron Efemeróptera, Tricóptera y Plecóptera, lo que refleja la calidad del agua y las características del hábitat. El ACC explicó el 89.02 % de la variabilidad en los dos primeros ejes, demostrando que los géneros de macroinvertebrados se asocian a sitios que ofrecen condiciones ambientales favorables. A pesar de que se observaron discrepancias en los índices empleados, estos fueron efectivos para destacar diferencias significativas entre los ríos. Los resultados resaltan la influencia de los factores ambientales en la distribución de los macroinvertebrados, destacando la urgencia de preservar dichos ecosistemas ante posibles variaciones ambientales.

Published: January 2025

A twelve-week feeding trial was conducted to examine the effect of termites (Macrotermes nigeriensis) grown on seaweed as a dietary protein source in the diets of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus). A total of 600 live African catfish specimens were used in the investigation, which were divided into four groups (ATD0, ATD1, ATD2, and ATD3) depending on their diets. The control diet (ATD0) comprised of commercial fishmeal (FM) and soybean meal (SBM) as protein sources in the ratio of 54FM:46SBM; For the three experimental diets (ATD1, ATD2, and ATD3), 60% of the crude protein was contributed by ATM either produced from termites raised on seaweed, elephant grass or both (50:50). Results show that daily weight gain was higher in fish fed termite meal (ATM) based diets, while feed conversion ratio and viscerosomatic index were higher in control group. Inclusion of ATM in diets of African catfish did not affect nutrient digestibility, enzyme activities, and total bile acid levels in the different portions of the digestive tract. Essential amino acids and mineral composition of whole fish also showed insignificant differences between experimental groups. However, fatty acid composition in whole fish fed diet without termite meal was significantly lower than those fed diets containing termites grown on seaweed. The study concludes that raising catfish on feed made from termites grown on seaweed can provide a good source of essential fatty acids with high bioavailability potential in African catfish.

Sustained observation is key to measuring physical and ecological variability in the Northwest Atlantic. Here we illustrate how a partnership with a merchant marine container vessel in service between New Jersey and Bermuda twice per week gives scientists a unique window into upper ocean currents, water properties, and marine ecology. Scientific observations collected from CMV Oleander, operated by Bermuda Container Line/Neptune Group, enable cross-disciplinary research, complement satellite measurements, and contribute to global observing programs—including the Global eXpendable BathyThermograph (XBT) Network, the Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT), and the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) Survey. Recent co-located measurements along the Oleander Line document that fronts in temperature, salinity, and carbon dioxide concentrations align with the (sub)mesoscale circulation patterns. The sustained observations show warming and shrinking of the Slope Sea, a northward shift of the Gulf Stream, and warming of the “18°C water” (subtropical North Atlantic mode water) to 19°C.

Published: January 2025

Heavy metal concentrations of hand-dug wells from twelve (12) locations within Warri and Port Harcourt metropolis of (Niger - Delta region) were studied. Twenty – four (24) hand-dug well water samples were analysed. The physicochemical parameters of the water samples were analyzed using Standard methods within 24 hours. The metal cations were also determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) method, hardness, chloride and bicarbonate concentrations were determined using titrimetric method, sulphate was determined by spectrophotometer method. Most physicochemical parameters were found to be within the WHO acceptable limits for drinking water in all sample locations. Rumagbo and Udu has the highest (108.5 and 288.55 mg/L) while Elewere and Enware lowest (36.08 and 36.05 mg/L) concentrations of bicarbonate (HCO3-) respectively, the highest concentration of sulphate (SO42-) was recorded in Waterline and Efurun (72.00 and 82.75 mg/L). chloride (Cl-) (96.75 and 107.25 mg/L) for Mgbuoba and NPA meanwhile nitate (NO3-) (0.05 and 0.06 mg/L) have their highest concentrations observed at Eligbolo and NPA respectively. Eligbolo, and Udu have the highest concentration of manganese (Mn). Meanwhile arsenic (As) concentration was found to be highest in Rumuola and Udu (0.75 and 0.77mg/L) with the lowest concentration found in Elewere and Enware (0.38 and 0.46mg/L) respectively. In all, the concentrations of metals from the water samples observed were above the WHO limits of heavy water concentrations in drinking water. The results from this study show that there is high level of contamination of the aquifer (groundwater) in the studied areas. The long-term effect of continuous consumption of this groundwater can be of pose a threat to the health of the people.

Published: January 2025

Diphenyldiselenide (DPDS), a potent antioxidant and enzyme inhibitor, exerts cellular toxicity mainly through interaction with thiol group of proteins. This study evaluates its toxicity on glycolysis and gluconeogenesis as well as on some hematological parameters in male Wistar rats. Animals were grouped into five with Groups I and II animals intrapenitoneally dosed with 1ml/kg body weight distilled water and olive oil serving as controls while Groups III, IV and V animals were treated with DPDS in olive oil once daily for 21 days at the dose of 50-, 100- and 200mg/kg body weight respectively. All rats were sacrificed on day 21, and plasma, livers and thigh muscles harvested for biochemical assays. Treatment with 200mg DPDS/kg body weight resulted to 100% mortality while 50- and 100mg/kg body weight caused significant reduction (p<0.05) in red blood cell counts, hemoglobin concentration and packed-cell volume. The activities of thigh muscle key glycolytic enzymes along with plasma lactate and liver key gluconeogenic enzymes along with alanine- and aspartate aminotransferases and glycogen were significantly increased (p<0.05) suggesting increased glycolysis and gluconeogenesis respectively in these organs. The increased glycolysis observed may be a consequence of decreased oxygen transport to the peripheral tissue due to reduced hemoglobin hence, increased reliance on anaerobic sources for energy generation. The resultant increased gluconeogenesis and hepatic glycogen storage could be a detoxification mechanism whereby excess lactate due to increased glycolysis is converted to a non-toxic and neutral glucose to maintain pH balance in order to preserve the animals against DPDS toxicity.
Biochemical characteristics, nutrient intakes, and chronic disease risk according to the dietary fat energy ratio in middle-aged Korean: a cross-sectional study using data from the 7th (2016–2018) Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Authors: Jeong Ga-Hyeon , Kim Sook-Bae
Published: January 2025

Objectives: This study aimed to examine health-related characteristics and chronic disease risk in middle-aged Koreans based on their fat energy intake ratio.Methods: We analyzed data from 7,274 Koreans aged 40–64 years using the 7th (2016–2018) Koreans National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Participants were classified into three groups based on their fat energy intake ratio: insufficient (< 15%), adequate (15%–30%), and excessive (> 30%). We assessed their socio-demographic characteristics; lifestyle characteristics; biochemical characteristics; quantitative and qualitative nutrient intakes, measured using dietary reference intakes for Koreans and index of nutrition quality (INQ); and chronic disease risk.Results: Significant differences were observed between the groups in age, gender, income, education, and residence region. The insufficient group had the highest proportion of older adults, male, lower income, rural residents, and lower education levels. The groups differed significantly in lifestyle characteristics, with the insufficient group having the highest rates of no walking, heavy drinking, smoking, and poor subjective health perception. Biochemical characteristics in the insufficient group exhibited the lowest levels for fasting blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c, and triglycerides. Significant differences were found in both the quantitative and qualitative intake of nutrients. The insufficient group had the lowest intake of most nutrients except fiber, whereas the excessive group had the lowest fiber intake. Based on the INQ, vitamin A and Ca were the lowest in the insufficient group, and vitamin C and folic acid were the lowest in the excessive group. The risk of diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome was highest in the deficient group, and the risk of liver cirrhosis was highest in the excessive group.Conclusion: Insufficient or excessive fat energy intake ratio negatively affects nutrient intake and chronic disease risk. Fat energy intake of 15%–30% is important for improving nutrient intake and managing chronic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and liver cirrhosis. We suggest that education and an appropriate social environment are necessary to ensure this fat energy intake.

Published: January 2025

The present study describes the energy absorption and damage analysis of the spherical core sandwich structures (SCSS) fabricated using woven Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) by hand- layup method. Based on the core orientation, the spherical cores are categorized as stagger (S), regular (R), inverted (I), and interlock (L). The pitch distance and diameter of the models considered for the study are 24 mm and 16 mm, respectively. The specimens are subjected to a low velocity impact test (LVIT) at three different energy levels 9.9, 27.5, and 53.9 J respectively. Evaluations are carried out on the different kind of parameters namely coefficient of restitution (COR),energy absorption ratio, and energy loss percentage maximum displacement, maximum force, absorbed energy, and rebound energy. Among the models at every impact velocity it is found that the model R sustains a maximum force of 3078 N at 7 m/s impact velocity. The stagger model has recorded a maximum displacement of 34.4 mm among all velocities, whereas the regular model reveals a minimum displacement of 4.9 mm based on the analysis of maximum displacement. Similarly, the regular model has a maximum energy absorption ratio at 5 and 7 m/s respectively, whereas at 3 m/s the interlock model absorbs more energy. The failure pattern of the specimens is analyzed through visual inspection and ultrasound testing. Matrix cracking and fibre breakage are the typical failures seen in the model at 3 m/s, while core crushing and perforation are seen at 5 and 7 m/s impact velocities. The damage area is minimum for the interlock model whereas it is maximum for the stagger model.

In digital protest, leaking and doxing differ fundamentally in their ethical implications as acts of civil disobedience. Leaking – defined as the careful, unauthorized release of confidential information – can be seen as a justified, non-violent form of protest aligned with civil disobedience principles. In contrast, doxing, which involves publicly exposing individuals’ personal information to shame or coerce, inherently entails indirect violence that infringes upon the target’s personal and symbolic integrity. Consequently, the paper argues that only leaking qualifies as ethical digital civil disobedience, while doxing fails to meet this standard.
Gastroduodenal Obstruction Secondary to Pica-associated Bezoar: A Case Report
Authors: Attia Mariam , Lavoie-Forrest Ashley A. , Langius Phoebe , Melnitsky Leon , Lopez Sandra , Boccio Eric
Published: January 2025

Introduction: While mild or moderate iron-deficiency anemia may not cause any symptoms, more severe deficiencies may present clinically as fatigue, shortness of breath, exertional dyspnea, lightheadedness, tachycardia, and presyncope or syncope, and, in rare instances, pica. Pica is defined as the developmentally inappropriate ingestion of non-nutritive, non-food substances for more than one month. We present the case of a duodenal obstruction secondary to a pica-associated bezoar in a patient with iron-deficiency anemia who presented to the emergency department (ED) with abdominal pain. Case Report: A 40-year-old female with past medical history of iron-deficiency anemia, asthma, and Von Willebrand disease and allergies to both oral and intravenous (IV) iron presented to the ED with one day of acute and severe abdominal pain associated with nausea and vomiting. The patient’s last bowel movement was one day prior to presentation. The abdominal exam revealed mild distention and generalized tenderness with no evidence of rebound or guarding. Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis with IV and oral contrast demonstrated gastric distention and a fecalized distal duodenum with wall thickening concerning for a duodenal obstruction. Given the patient’s known history of iron-deficiency anemia, the emergency physician inquired about ingestion of non-nutritive substances to which the patient replied that she had been consuming cotton foam. The patient was admitted to the hospital for gastroenterology consultation and esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Conclusion: Pica-associated gastrointestinal bezoars are a rare complication with a variety of reported substances being consumed. Patients presenting with small gastroduodenal bezoars may benefit from endoscopic removal, but large non-fragmentable bezoars can only be removed through surgical intervention.
Unpacking the norms of Atticism : impersonal modality and the negotiation of overt prestige in Atticist lexicographers
Authors: la Roi Ezra , Roumanis Emmanuel
Published: January 2025

Though the Atticist lexica have often been seen as 'codifying' a prestige variety, there have been very few studies of the specific ways in which Atticist lexica linguistically establish and accord overt prestige, i.e. a higher perceived social status of language use as recognized explicitly within a community. Therefore, we demonstrate that impersonal deontic modal expressions (forms of δεῖ and χρή) are used by the Atticist lexicographers in three ways to record usage norms with overt prestige: (1) report norms with overt prestige (incl. via negative association with social groups), (2) construct norms with overt prestige, and (3) negotiate norms with overt prestige. Our findings attest to a significant diversity within Atticist lexicography with regard to overt prestige: Aelius Dionysius and Pausanias (based on the limited material) seem to almost exclusively report norms, whereas Phrynichus reports, constructs and negotiates norms, and the Antiatticist exclusively (re)negotiates norms.
Debitum reddere (and similar formulae) with the meaning of 'dying' in Latin inscriptions
Authors: Tantimonaco Silvia
Published: January 2025

This paper examines the Latin formula debitum reddere ('settling a debt'), found in both pagan and Christian inscriptions with the meaning of 'dying'. In this formula, death is depicted as the fulfilment of a legal obligation, a debt typically owed to Nature, Fate or the Christian God. Although the primary focus is epigraphic, both inscriptions and literary sources are analysed to trace the origin and development of this metaphor, which is interpreted in light of its Stoic philosophical background. The paper also explores other related formulae with similar meanings (e.g. uitam/spiritum/animam reddere), possible folk-etymological associations (such as obitum reddere and uotum reddere in funerary contexts), and further developments of the concept of dying as the return of a borrowed existence (including the absolute use of reddere to mean 'dying' and the use of redditio as a synonym for 'death'). Several references suggest that the metaphor debitum reddere may have been particularly popular in Roman Africa.
Models of dialogue opera in the Polish theater at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries : Józef Elsner's works for Wojciech Bogusławski's stage
Authors: Chachulski Jakub
Published: January 2025

The article accounts for the most important trends in Józef Elsner's Polish operatic output from the years 1797–1814, as considered within the conceptual framework of dialogue opera research. The existing literature frames the "dialogue opera problem" primarily as an opposition of the French and North-German aesthetics – characterized by the awareness of problematic nature of juxtaposing singing with speech – and the South-German attitude that adhered to the Italian-inspired autonomy of music. While the Polish's theater belonging to this latter circle seems evident, deviation from this basic attitude comes rather from impulses of non-operatic genres and the aesthetic of the spoken theater. The most unique phenomena arose from conservatively classicist and literary rather than musical attitude prevalent among the most influential circles of the Warsaw cultural elite.
"...compromittimus tanquam in arbitros et arbitratores nostros et amicabiles compositors" : on some aspects of arbitration practice in Bohemia and Moravia in ecclesiastical disputes of the 13th century through the lens of compromise and arbitration charters
Authors: Führer Lukáš
Published: January 2025

One of the common ways in which the Church (either individuals or institutions) settled its disputes in the Czech lands in the 13th century was through arbitration. This form of extrajudicial ettlement is documented by various types of charters in which different stages of the arbitration proceedings are recorded. This probe will focus on two questions: 1) What types of charters were produced in connection with arbitration in the 13th century and how do they look from a formal point of view? 2) What is the content of these charters and how does the content testify to the practice of arbitration in the Czech lands in the 13th century?
Społeczne obowiązki przedsiębiorstw
Authors: Dadak Kazimierz
Published: January 2025

W ostatnich dekadach wielką popularność zdobyła teza, że świat biznesu ma obowiązki wobec społeczeństwa. W USA teoria ta zrodziła się w związku z wielkimi nadużyciami, jakie miały tam miejsce w okresie szybkiego rozwoju gospodarczego, począwszy od końca XIX w. Powszechnie uznana za słuszną konieczność urzeczywistniania przez przedsiębiorstwa celów „dobrych” z punktu widzenia całego społeczeństwa otworzyła jednak drogę do różnego rodzaju manipulacji. Światowi giganci technologiczni stają się strażnikami „prawdy”, którą sami ustalają, a instytucje finansowe udzielają pożyczek według kryteriów, które ich kierownictwa uznają za słuszne. W takim środowisku niejednokrotnie władze sprzyjają wybranemu sektorowi prywatnemu. W sytuacjach przeciwnych z kolei rodzi się pytanie, czy świat przypadkiem nie zmierza w kierunku – znanym nam z czasów „minionej epoki” – dominacji „interesu społecznego” elit nad interesem jednostki?

Bush Mechanics Tinker with Philosophy
Authors: Brierty Max , Muecke Stephen ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2025

Indigenous cultures have an immanentist ontological basis, as opposed to the largely Western ontology of transcendence. We explore the implications for this assertion in the different ways that technological artifacts can be seen to articulate with human and non-human bodies in extended ecologies. Our method is one of an Indigenous critique of modernity, which aims iconoclastically to deflate the faith, hope and idealism often invested in technologies. Our (counter) examples emerge from the TV series Bush Mechanics, where practical skills are articulated with blackfella magical powers. These illustrate how bush ecologies are vastly different from suburban car cultures, such that what really matters in people’s coarticulations with machines is now open to philosophical speculation via an Indigenous critique of Western modernity. (Indigenous) powers of immanence can be opposed to (Western) powers of transcendence, we argue, through disclosure of the operations of the ecologies that sustain them.

Authors: Sunoko Ahmad , Ma'rifah Siti
Published: January 2025

The development of higher education curricula in Indonesia faces challenges in adapting to globalization, technological advancements, and industrial demands while preserving local and religious values. This study analyzes the curriculum development model based on the Indonesian National Qualification Framework (KKNI) at Islamic higher education institutions with a pesantren-based approach, using STAI Al-Anwar Sarang Rembang as a case study. It identifies key issues such as limited human resources understanding KKNI concepts, insufficient expert guidance, and inadequate budgets and infrastructure as major obstacles to curriculum implementation. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and analysis of institutional documents. Data were analyzed through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that integrating pesantren values with KKNI-based learning outcomes has been collaboratively designed, although implementation remains suboptimal. Major challenges include a lack of training for lecturers, limited information technology infrastructure, and unsystematic evaluations. However, the study also highlights significant potential for curriculum improvement through expert support, regular training, and enhanced infrastructure. This research provides significant implications for curriculum development in pesantren-based institutions by emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach that integrates traditional education with modern demands. In conclusion, despite numerous challenges, the KKNI-based pesantren curriculum holds great potential to produce graduates who are academically competent, professionally skilled, and deeply rooted in strong moral values.
Diagnóstico y tratamiento de la encefalopatía hepática mínima. Una revisión narrativa
Authors: Rodríguez-Gutiérrez Andrés Fernando
Published: January 2025

La encefalopatía hepática es una de las complicaciones más frecuentes de la cirrosis y de otras formas de hipertensión portal. Sin embargo, su espectro de presentación es notoriamente amplio, y la forma subclínica, la encefalopatía hepática mínima (EHM), complica el diagnóstico. La forma mínima afecta notablemente la calidad de vida y es un predictor de progresión a una forma manifiesta, así como de hospitalización y mortalidad. El diagnóstico de la EHM se sustenta en pruebas psicométricas con el Psychometric Hepatic Encephalopathy Score como el estándar de oro, aunque subrogados como el Stroop Test y el Animal Naming Test se perfilan como pruebas de menor complejidad logística. La evidencia actual, con moderada a alta certeza, permite concluir que la lactulosa y la rifaximina impactan positivamente en desenlaces clínicamente relevantes en la EHM. La L-ornitina-L-aspartato y los probióticos se postulan como alternativas razonables.

Este artículo analiza la optimización de la seguridad en tanques de presión mediante un enfoque integral basado en la mecánica de fluidos. Se profundiza en el impacto de la viscosidad y los flujos ideales (no viscosos) sobre el diseño y operación segura de estos sistemas. La investigación incluye un análisis riguroso de las ecuaciones de Navier-Stokes, resaltando su carácter no lineal y la influencia que tienen en la precisión de los modelos predictivos. El estudio se complementa con experimentos utilizando agua destilada y soluciones de glicerina, que replican condiciones variables de viscosidad y permiten evaluar su efecto en la dinámica interna de los fluidos.
Asimismo, se emplea la Dinámica de Fluidos Computacional (CFD) para realizar simulaciones avanzadas, corroborando los hallazgos experimentales y ofreciendo una perspectiva exhaustiva sobre los factores que comprometen la integridad estructural de los tanques de presión. Los resultados evidencian la necesidad de integrar teoría, experimentación y simulación para desarrollar modelos predictivos robustos que refuercen la seguridad en aplicaciones industriales críticas.
El estudio concluye que tanto los flujos viscosos como los no viscosos deben considerarse en los análisis de seguridad para optimizar el desempeño y prolongar la vida útil de los tanques de presión, subrayando la relevancia de un enfoque interdisciplinario en su diseño y operación.
Relación de la Eversión del Pie Durante la Carrera en Árbitros con y sin Lesión de Rodilla, Tobillo y Pie
Authors: Cifuentes Álvarez Nathaly Jemima , Espín Pástor Victoria Estefanía
Published: January 2025

Este estudio evaluó la relación entre la eversión del talón (EDT) y las lesiones musculoesqueléticas en extremidades inferiores de árbitros de fútbol, un grupo que enfrenta altas demandas físicas debido a la intensidad y variabilidad de su actividad. Con una muestra de 101 árbitros profesionales (87 hombres y 14 mujeres), se realizó un análisis cinemático durante la carrera, encontrando que todos los participantes presentaron EDT. Los resultados no revelaron relaciones estadísticamente significativas entre la EDT y lesiones previas o actuales en rodilla y tobillo; sin embargo, se observó una asociación significativa con lesiones actuales en el pie, donde un mayor ángulo de EDT se relacionó con una mayor incidencia de lesiones. Factores adicionales, como sobrepeso, edad y características biomecánicas específicas del pie, parecen influir en el riesgo de lesiones, aunque no de forma directa con la EDT. Estas observaciones indican que, aunque la EDT no es un factor biomecánico determinante en las lesiones musculoesqueléticas, variables como la presión plantar y el rango de movimiento en diferentes fases del apoyo durante la carrera podrían desempeñar un papel importante, especialmente en patologías como la fascitis plantar. El estudio también identificó limitaciones, incluida la heterogeneidad en las características de los participantes, como edad y peso. Se concluye que la EDT no es un predictor aislado de lesiones en árbitros, y se sugiere realizar estudios más amplios y homogéneos para validar estos hallazgos y profundizar en otros factores de riesgo.
Relación del ángulo inclinación de pie durante la carrera en árbitros con y sin lesión de rodilla, tobillo y pie
Authors: Torres Sandoval Diana Paola , Cedeño Zamora María Narciza
Published: January 2025

Introducción: Los árbitros de fútbol enfrentan un alto riesgo de lesiones debido a la demanda física, factores como entrenamientos inadecuados, antecedentes de lesiones y alteraciones biomecánicas del ángulo de inclinación del pie (AIp) pueden aumentar este riesgo, especialmente durante fases de apoyo corto con altas cargas y cambios de dirección. Este proyecto tiene como objetivo analizar el AIp en árbitros, con y sin lesiones en rodilla, tobillo y pie, mediante un análisis cinemático e identificar anomalías en la marcha y la biomecánica. Métodos: Se utilizó un diseño transversal y observacional en 101 árbitros profesionales de fútbol, se requirió una banda sin fin electrónica, un sistema de captura de movimiento en video, análisis biomecánico con el sistema KINOVEA, un plan de calentamiento de 2 minutos y análisis estadístico con pruebas de correlación de Spearman. Resultados: El AIp es ligeramente menor en individuos lesionados, pero la variabilidad es mayor en los no lesionados. El contacto más común del pie con el suelo es el retropié, lo que puede aumentar el riesgo de lesiones. Sin embargo, no se encontró una relación fuerte y significativa entre la lesión anterior o actual y la inclinación del pie. Conclusión: El AIp y el tipo de contacto pueden ser factores de riesgo para lesiones en miembros inferiores, pero es importante considerar la necesidad de más investigaciones para confirmar estos hallazgos y optimizar las decisiones respecto a los programas de entrenamiento y rehabilitación.
