Published: July 2023

This article explores the practical use of Gesellian money in several local regions which allowed the authors to collect the data and research the influence of the Gesellian model on the local economies. The implementation of Gesellian money has resulted in a significant increase in the turnover of money within local economies, which has helped to save struggling businesses that were unable to pay their employees. By using Gesellian money, local businesses have been able to circulate more money within their communities, leading to a more sustainable and prosperous economy. The implementation of Gesellian money has proven to be an effective tool for stimulating local economies and supporting small businesses. The research also showed that introduction of Gesellian model allows to avoid crucial crises in economy. The article also provides the solution of introduction Gesellian model into big economies using n-contour which allows to consider different growth amplitude of local economies, and the instruments for interaction between local economies and local-to-international economies.
La muerte y el ritual de desprecio
Authors: Gavilán Lurgio
Published: July 2023

Los rituales de muerte en el área andina han sido vistos, por lo general, como costumbres ancestrales de muy larga data. En este artículo discutiré la importancia de los rituales que han normado comportamientos de la gente como espacio de perdón, terapia y sentido; ya que cada fallecimiento, al ser el reordenamiento de sus vidas, sirve para conciliar a los vivos. Sin embargo, en un contexto de estado de excepción —como es el caso del conflicto armado interno y la pandemia por COVID-19 donde se producen cambios abruptos, se rompe ese espacio, minimizando su práctica o sustituyéndola por otra. Entonces, ¿cómo actores opuestos realizan diferentes tipos de rituales mortuorios en situaciones límites? El vacío del ritual de muerte, para otros no es más que el ritual del desprecio.
Perros y promos

Durante las décadas de 1980 y 1990, el Perú vivió uno de los periodos más violentos de su historia contemporánea. La violencia ejercida tanto por Sendero Luminoso, como por las fuerzas del orden contra las poblaciones rurales fue brutal. El informe final de la Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación (CVR) dio cuenta de los diferentes actos de violaciones a los derechos humanos perpetrados por los militares contra las poblaciones civiles: ejecuciones extrajudiciales, desapariciones forzadas, torturas y violaciones. El libro de Jelke Boesten y Lurgio Gavilán, Perros y Promos. Memoria, violencia y afecto en el Perú posconflicto, es un texto fundamental que permite poner en contexto el comportamiento de los militares en las zonas de emergencia durante el conflicto armado. La premisa del libro es que la violencia perpetrada por los militares contra las poblaciones campesinas no surgió de un momento a otro, ni en un vacío, sino que fue producto de una cultura militar feroz que, en ciertos momentos, facilitó la deshumanización de sus propios soldados al interior de los cuarteles. En un contexto de polarización debido al conflicto armado, la preexistencia de relaciones de autoritarismo, racismo y violencia sistémica en el ejército, facilitó la expansión de prácticas violentas hacia las poblaciones civiles.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of sports massage and active recovery on fatigue parameters (HR, RPE, and TQR) in 32 Karate athletes. Using a two-group pre and post-test design, participants were allocated to sports massage (n=16) and active recovery groups based on sex and resting heart rates. Both groups engaged in 90 minutes of submaximal karate training, followed by pre-test measurements, a 15-minute recovery period, and post-test assessments. Paired t-tests analyzed within-group HR and RPE differences, while independent tests compared HR, RPE, and TQR between groups. Results showed significant reductions in HR (p< 0.001) and RPE (p< 0.001) for both interventions. No significant differences were observed in post-test HR (p=0.427) and TQR (p=0.524) between groups. However, the sports massage group had significantly lower post-test RPE (4.7 ± 1.2) compared to the active recovery group (3.6 ± 1.2, p=0.013). In conclusion, both interventions improved HR and RPE, with sports massage demonstrating superior effects on reducing RPE. Future research should explore long-term effects, optimal timing, and personalized approaches for athletes.

Authors: Gómez Irving N.
Published: July 2023

Este estudio presenta la diversidad de aves acuáticas y semiacuáticas en una zona de la Laguna de Changuinola, Bocas del Toro, durante los meses de marzo a julio de 2018. El objetivo del estudio fue relacionar la riqueza de especie de las aves acuáticas y semiacuáticas con los factores fisicoquímicos presentes en la laguna. Se censaron 213 individuos, pertenecientes a ocho órdenes, 11 familias, 23 géneros y 30 especies. Las familias de mayor riqueza fueron Ardeidae registrando 10 especies para un 33.33% del total y Alcedinidae registrando cinco especies para un 16.67 % de total. El índice de diversidad de Shannon-Wiener para el total de la muestra de aves acuáticas fue de H´ = 3.06. Según los rangos de abundancia Bubulcus ibis y Pelecanus occidentalis, son las especies más abundantes. La prueba de Duncan permitió demostrar que existe una asociación entre el pH y la riqueza de las aves. Los valores no aceptables de nitratos y oxígeno disuelto indican toxicidad del medio. Se concluye que los parámetros fisicoquímicos modifican la riqueza y la abundancia de las aves.

Published: July 2023

Introduction

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis, seen mostly in children. Epidemiology of KD is dependent on geographical location and seasonality. Although many years have passed since the first report of KD, multiple related factors are still unknown.

Material and methods

We investigated the clinical, paraclinical, and therapeutic aspects of KD in Kerman, Iran by performing a retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study on all children hospitalized due to KD between 2007 and 2020.

Results

A total of 340 patients with mean ±SD age of 29.83 ±22.55 months participated in the study. Most of our patients were two to five years old. The male : female ratio was ~ 1.4 : 1. A few of our patients had a family history of KD or vasculitis (0.3%, 1.7%). Typical KD was more common by a large margin (316 patients with typical KD). More than half of our patients had a duration of hospitalization of under ten days. All of our patients were febrile. Hand/foot and lip/mouth changes were the second and third most common clinical findings in more than 60% of our patients. Other manifestations were conjunctivitis in 40%, skin rashes in 34.8%, gastrointestinal manifestations in 33.9%, and lymphadenopathy in 25.3%. Echocardiography revealed abnormalities in 78.6% of the participants; coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) was the most frequent (22.5%) and follow-up echocardiography revealed that all of them regressed within 6 months after treatment. The two laboratory tests with the highest ratio of abnormality were erythrocyte sedimentation rate (95%) and hemoglobin (83.3%). C-reactive protein and liver function tests were also abnormal in most patients. All of our patients received intravenous immunoglobulin and acetylsalicylic acid.

Conclusions

Kawasaki disease must be considered in every febrile child, especially those with risk factors, because timely diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications. Health policies should focus on appropriate diagnosis and treatment to prevent the occurrence of sequelae.
Radiosynovectomy of the hip joint – preliminary experience
Authors: Chojnowski Marek Marcin , Owczarczak Danuta , Płazińska Maria Teresa , Dedecjus Marek , Królicki Leszek
Published: July 2023

Introduction

Radiosynovectomy (RSV) is a minimally invasive method of treating and controlling joint inflammation refractory to conventional pharmacotherapy. It consist in intraarticular injection of radioactive colloids which irradiate the inflamed synovial membrane to cause its subsequent involution. Despite the fact that the hip joint involvement is quite common in systemic inflammatory arthropathies, hip joint RSVs are rarely performed. The aim of this paper is to assess safety and efficacy of hip joint radioisotope treatment.

Material and methods

We retrospectively analyzed the effects of 21 hip joints RSVs performed in 14 patients (10 female, 4 male; aged 8 to 79; mean age 48 years). Before the RSV, all the patients underwent clinical and ultrasound examination. The RSVs were performed using rhenium-186 sulphide under ultrasound guidance. Each patient underwent post-therapeutic scintigraphy to assess intraarticular distribution of the radiopharmaceutical. The effects of the treatment were assessed clinically and ultrasonographically during at least 2 follow-up visits 3 and 6 months after the RSV.

Results

In 9 cases, we observed complete resolution of symptoms 3 and 6 months after the RSV. Four patients had only a partial response and required repeated treatment, and all responded well to second RSV. In four patients the treatment had no significant effect, and no repeated treatment attempt was made. All the responders suffered from inflammatory arthropathies; the non-responders had osteoarthritis, with no history of systemic diseases. In all the patients, no significant adverse effects were observed, in particular no radiation burns or infections. All post-therapeutic scintigrams showed proper, intraarticular distribution of the radiopharmaceutical.

Conclusions

Radiosynovectomy of the hip joint in systemic joint diseases, especially performed using ultrasound-guidance, is a safe and effective treatment modality.
Enfermos graves de COVID-19
Authors: Carranza Marlon E.
Published: July 2023

La antropología médica estudia el sufrimiento humano producido por las enfermedades como parte de su interés por conocer las diferentes formas en que  respondemos a dichas experiencias. Uno de los hallazgos importantes de esta disciplina ha sido descubrir que los seres humanos creamos narrativas de esas experiencias de sufrimiento, como una forma de darle sentido y seguir adelante con nuestras vidas (Kleinman,1988). En este artículo, se propone que no todas las narrativas producen necesariamente “sentido” sobre las enfermedades; también, hay ciertas narrativas, que lejos de crear una versión “domesticada” de sufrimiento, busca enfatizar el sinsentido de la experiencia, sobre todo cuando la trayectoria de la enfermedad está determinada por inequidades institucionalizadas. Lo anterior se observa en la descripción que de su enfermedad hacen dos mujeres enfermas graves de COVID-19. En sus narrativas, se deja ver que decisiones desacertadas que sobre su enfermedad hizo el sistema de salud produjo que estas mujeres enfrentaran riesgos adicionales que normalmente no hubieran tenido si hubiera habido un diagnóstico temprano acertado, si hubieran contado con los recursos necesarios para su atención inmediata y si hubieran considerado sus vulnerabilidades particulares.

Published: July 2023

The main goal of the study was to investigate the effects of SPA (smart-phone-addiction), FOMO (fear-of-missing-out) on PC (perceived competence) among secondary and intermediate students. The sample was comprised of 200 students from Multan's secondary and intermediate levels, their age range was 15 to 18 years old. The purposive sampling technique was used. The measure of smart phone addiction by Kwon et al. (2013) consisted of 10 items, Przybyiski et al. (2013) 10 items FOMO intervention, Ozer et al. (2016) PC (perceived-competence) scale consisting of 40 items were employed. Results indicated that smart phone addiction positively correlated with Fear-of-Missing-Out and had a negative relation with Fear-of-Missing-Out & PC (perceived competence). SPA (Smart-phone-addiction) has a significant impact on the fear of missing out. Smart-phone-addiction has an insignificant impact on perceived competence of cognitive, social and physical subscales through mediating effect of fear of missing out. Smartphone addiction has a significant impact on perceived competence of general self-worth and learning through mediation of fear-of-missing-out.

Technology-Assisted Hip and Knee Arthroplasty in Orthopaedic Residency Training: A National Survey
Authors: Sweet Matthew C. , Miladore Nicholas , Bovid Karen M. , Kenter Keith
Published: July 2023

Introduction:

The adoption of technology-assisted total joint arthroplasty (TA-TJA) is increasing; however, the extent to which TA-TJA is used among orthopaedic trainees is unknown. The purpose of this study was to assess the current use of TA total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) by orthopaedic residents and to evaluate resident perceptions toward TA-TJA in their surgical training.

Methods:

In this cross-sectional study, an anonymous electronic survey was sent to all Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education–accredited orthopaedic surgery residency program coordinators to distribute to their PGY-2 to PGY-5 residents. The survey consisted of 24 questions, including resident demographics, utilization of TA-TJA in their training, and perceptions regarding TA-TJA.

Results:

A total of 103 orthopaedic residents completed the survey, of whom 68.0% reported using TA-TJA at their institution. Of the residents using TA-TJA, 28.6% used TA for total TKA only, 71.4% used TA for both TKA and THA, and none used TA solely for THA. One-third of residents (33.3%) use TA for more than half of all TKAs conducted, whereas 57.0% use TA for <10% of all THAs conducted. Approximately half of all residents (49.5%) thought that training in TA-TJA should be required during residency, with no significant differences between junior and senior level residents (P = 0.24). Most (82.0%) thought that trainees should be required to learn conventional TJA before learning TA-TJA. 63.0% thought that technology had a positive effect on their primary TJA training experience; however, 26.0% reported concern that their training conducting conventional TJA may be inadequate.

Discussion:

This study demonstrates that most orthopaedic residents currently conduct TA-TJA and highlights notable differences in TJA training experiences. These results provide a platform for future work aimed at further optimizing TJA training in residency, particularly as technology continues to rapidly evolve and utilization of TA-TJA is projected to grow exponentially.

Level of Evidence:

According to the 2021 Road Safety Bulletin, the risk category for road traffic fatalities is defined by drivers in their 20s. As they get older and gain experience, young drivers cause fewer serious road accidents. Statistics also show that almost 1 million licensed drivers are over the age of 71. With 98% of road accidents linked to human error, the widespread use of autonomous cars with level 5 technology is expected to help meet the EU's target of approaching 0 deaths by 2050. This research examines three aspects that can increase the acceptance of fully automated cars, namely age, inability to drive a car and time spent in traffic.

First, the basic principle of trajectory planning is described, which is mainly determined by the geometric path and the motion law, and it is a motion law that defines time according to a given geometric path. Second, the characteristics of the joint space and the operational space are expounded. Then the trapezoidal trajectory and the trajectory with S velocity profile commonly used in industrial practice are introduced. Finally, point-to-point trajectories and multipoint trajectories are described. Point-to-point trajectories include a point-to-point trajectory in the joint space and a straight-line and circle trajectory in the operational space. Multipoint trajectories include Bezier and NURBS curves functions.
Discontinuité entre recherche et pratique en didactique des langues : une vulgarisation dangereuse ?
Authors: Coquilhat Jean-Christophe
Published: July 2023

Le rapport entre théorie et praxéologie implique une transition simplificatrice logique et nécessaire pour assurer le passage des travaux de la recherche à la réalité du terrain. L’adoption du Cadre Européen de Référence pour les Langues (CECRL) semble avoir assujetti la pratique enseignante et sa composante didactique à une méthodologie contrainte se fondant sur une terminologie approximative, reflet d’une vulgarisation et non d’une réelle transposition de la complexité. Ainsi, sans prendre en compte la richesse des élaborations théoriques issues la recherche, l’inféodation de l’enseignement-apprentissage des langues au CECRL a eu pour conséquence d’imposer une approche pédagogique vertueuse (la perspective actionnelle) tout en instaurant une réduction des degrés de liberté de la pratique enseignante selon une orientation dogmatique et une volonté politique d’uniformisation.
Pourquoi l’humour des écrivains de l’ex‑Allemagne de l’Est est‑il intraduisible ? (Mais pourquoi faut‑il quand même le traduire ?)

Traduire l’humour est difficile. Lorsque celui‑ci est essentiellement contextuel, référentiel et codé, comme il l’est dans la littérature de l’ex‑Allemagne de l’Est, sa traduction s’apparente à un défi. À partir de l’exemple représentatif du Hinze‑Kunze‑Roman de Volker Braun sont considérées les difficultés de traduire un tel humour éminemment politique, voire sa résistance totale à cette épreuve, ainsi que les différentes significations que peut revêtir alors une traduction.

Emotional intelligence and its impact on the personality development of early school-age students
Authors: Sandala Olguta
Published: July 2023

The research evokes the importance of emotionality and its impact on the personality development of the young school-aged student. Rapid social changes, the pressures of scientific conquests and the amplification of the global problems of the contemporary world permanently provide challenges to education and new opportunities to develop the dimensions of human personality. An increased quotient of emotional intelligence ensures successful integration, with a minimum of inter- and intrapersonal conflicts. The efficiency of the young schoolboy is determined not only by the intelligence quotient (the ability to assimilate knowledge, skills and abilities), but also by certain personality traits, because living in a constantly changing society, the student will have to orient himself and integrate into the school environment through communication skills and emotional skills.

The study was conducted to assess the growth performance and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of Oreochromis niloticus fry reared in experimental ponds. A stocking density of 360 fish/decimal with three feeding frequency T1 (four times/day), T2 (three times/day) and T3 (two times/day) was maintained each with three replications. The fry was initially fed at 30% of their body weight and the rate was reduced up to 5% gradually at the final stage. The survival rate was 95.65±0.367, 93.00±0.709 and 90.50±0.707 % in T1, T2 and T3, respectively. The best FCR value was obtained in T1 (0.983±0.0057) and the significantly (p˂0.05) highest fish production was also observed in T1 (65.67±0.52 kg/dec/120 days). At the end of the experiment, the mean weight gain was recorded as 327.49±2.32, 294.55±0.87 and 244.72±2.33 g in T1, T2 and T3, respectively. The highest percent weight gain (%) was observed in T1 (5468.78±38.87) followed by T2 (5167.54±27.13) and T3 (4293.27±17.36). The specific growth rate (SGR) was also highest in T1 (3.48±0.03) while the lowest SGR was found in T3 (3.15±0.01%). The results revealed that feeding frequency effect positively on the growth performance of Tilapia.

Achieving high‐temperature stability is critical for the commercialization of lead sulfide colloidal quantum dots (PbS CQDs) in short‐wave infrared imaging applications, particularly for automotive and consumer‐grade devices that require operation under elevated temperatures. This work addresses the challenges of high‐temperature stability of halide‐passivated PbS CQDs by introducing bidentate aromatic ligands as a complementary passivation in liquid‐phase ligand exchange. These ligands are shown to form robust bonds especially with CQDs {100} facets, effectively maintaining surface passivation and suppressing CQDs fusion at high temperatures. The CQDs films incorporating these ligands exhibit exceptional structural and chemical stability at 125 °C. Accelerated aging tests demonstrate that the CQDs photodiodes incorporating these ligands have long lifetimes of 168 h at 125 °C and 1500 h at 85 °C, which are over one‐order‐of‐magnitude longer than the control devices with halides alone. The CQDs image sensors, monolithically integrating by the optimal CQDs photodiodes and readout circuit, could capture high‐quality images until aging at 125 °C for 336 h. These findings support developing a scalable liquid‐phase ligand exchange method using bidentate aromatic ligands to prepare high‐temperature‐stable CQDs image sensors.

Wearable sensors are transforming our capacity to monitor a broad range of activities for recreation and health purposes. Developing low‐cost personalized sensors on a range of materials could enable broad applicability irrespective of the material substrate. Here, the methods of fabrication, characterization, and application of kirigami graphene strain sensors are described. The dynamic range of these sensors is characterized, showing that the kirigami structure enhances application‐specific device performance, demonstrating that this strategy is applicable to a range of materials. We apply this strategy to develop personalized sensors for a variety of measurement frequencies and biological phenomena including evaluation of abdominal distention and respiration in a pig model, as well as human heart rate measurement, limb actuation, and hand gesture interpretation in human volunteers. Through these experiments, we show that this low‐cost strategy for customized graphene sensors can be broadly applied across a range of consumer and health applications.

INTRODUCTION

Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) manifests as dementia combined with other neurological symptoms. However, small fiber neuropathy (SFN) and pathology remain unknown in NIID.

METHODS

A total of 294 subjects, including patients with NIID, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and healthy controls (HCs), were included. Clinical scales, sensory and autonomic function testing, and skin biopsy were performed.

RESULTS

NIID patients had more severe sensory and autonomic dysfunction than other groups. Substantial reductions in intraepidermal, sweat gland, and pilomotor nerve fiber densities were observed in NIID patients, with a non–length dependent pattern. Detailed analysis revealed marked reductions in noradrenergic, cholinergic, peptidergic, and regenerative nerve fibers. Small fiber densities showed high diagnostic accuracy in distinguishing NIID from HCs and other diseases.

DISCUSSION

This study is the first to reveal wide and severe loss of small fibers in NIID, suggesting the involvement of SFN in the pathogenesis of NIID.

Highlights

Our study is the first to identify wide and severe non–length dependent small fiber neuropathy in neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) patients.

Approximately 50% of NIID patients exhibited pure small fiber neuropathy without large fiber or mixed neuropathy.

NIID patients showed a significant reduction in noradrenergic, cholinergic, peptidergic, and regenerative fiber innervation.

Small fiber densities, especially intraepidermal nerve fiber density, demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy in distinguishing NIID patients from healthy controls and other disease groups.

Findings suggest that small fiber neuropathy may play a role in the pathogenesis of NIID.

Published: February 2025

The herbicide‐tolerant soybean ZH10‐6 was developed by modifying the Zhonghuang 10 (ZH10) variety with the G2‐EPSPS and GAT genes, conferring resistance to glyphosate. This study aimed to assess the potential health effects of ZH10‐6 in Sprague–Dawley rats through a 90‐day subchronic toxicity test. Seven groups of rats (n = 10/sex/group) were fed a commercial AIN93G diet or diets containing 7.5%, 15%, or 30% ZH10‐6 or ZH10 soybeans. General behavior, body weight, and food consumption were monitored weekly. At the end of the study, clinical pathology, including hematology, serum chemistry, urinalysis, and histopathology, were conducted. Throughout the study, all rats remained healthy and showed no abnormal clinical signs. Although some coagulation and serum biochemistry parameters showed statistical differences between groups, all values fell within the historical control ranges and were considered normal biological variability rather than treatment‐related effects. The results indicate that ZH10‐6 soybean consumption did not cause any adverse health effects in rats. These findings suggest that ZH10‐6 is as safe as its nontransgenic parental variety, ZH10, with no evidence of toxicity after 90 days of exposure.
