Authors: Lyou Hyun Ji , Lee Hye Lim
Published: January 2024

Since coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2, several vaccines for COVID-19 have been approved for use and vaccination is encouraged worldwide. Despite these circumstances, it remains still controversial to vaccinate patients with central nervous system (CNS) demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) or neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders using immunosuppressive agents. We reviewed recent studies about vaccination, including COVID-19 vaccination in patients with CNS demyelinating diseases. Also, we summarized updated guidelines about vaccinations for patients with MS. According to recent guidelines, regular vaccinations are recommended for patients with CNS demyelinating diseases and most immunosuppressants or immune-modulating agents did not affect the efficacy of vaccinations. However, several treatments such as rituximab should be adjusted treatment schedules before vaccination. Through this review, clinicians will be given useful information to choose the best vaccination strategy according to current evidence and expert knowledge.

Published: January 2024

Azo-dyes, including Allura Red, Sunset Yellow (SY), Brilliant Blue, and Tartrazine (Tz), are commonly utilized as food coloring additives because of their affordability and durability. The dyes SY and Tz are widely employed within this dye group because of their comparable hues and frequent co-application in food items. Despite their beneficial industrial applications, these substances include a toxicity profile that poses risks, including the potential for undesirable consequences such as allergies, asthma, cancer, DNA damage, cytotoxicity, and nervousness. In light of these factors, employing susceptible, cost-effective, straightforward, and expeditious sensors to examine azo-hazardous dyes is imperative. Electrochemical nanosensors (ENS), which integrate the distinctive characteristics of electrochemistry with nanotechnology, are very advantageous devices that find extensive application in analyzing azo dyes. In this paper, the exterior of a Glassy Carbon Electrode (GCE) has been subjected to modification by the incorporation of calixarene (Cx) and gold nanoparticles (AuNP) to facilitate the improvement and integration of electrochemistry with nanotechnology. The sensing capability of the Modified GCE (MGCE) nanosensor with Cx and AuNP has been evaluated by the utilization of Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV) techniques. The study aimed to examine the impact of various factors to determine the optimal circumstances for obtaining the most favorable reaction from the target analytical substances. The signals of the chosen food dyes have been significantly improved when using the MGCE nanocomposite, which is attributed to the synergistic interaction between Cx and AuNP compared to the unmodified GCE. The sensor platform that was built also showed notable performance characteristics when utilized to detect food colors in food samples. Furthermore, the observed high percentage of recovery, consistent repeatability, and durability indicate the potential use of the developed electrochemical platform to examine actual samples.

Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs) are considered versatile materials owing to their distinctive features resulting from the isomorphous substitution of metal cations, namely M(II) and M(III), inside their octahedral locations. The LDH layer structure is characterized by a balanced arrangement of exchangeable hydrated or solvated anions within the interlayer and outer regions. This arrangement gives rise to a two-dimensional heterostructure with an ABAB pattern. Various metal cations have a role in LDHs composition, leading to their classification as hydrocalumites and hydrotalcite. Pristine-LDHs that include diverse inorganic anions have shown significant potential in biological applications. These substances have been investigated for their potential use in many applications, including but not limited to antacids, vaccination adjuvants, etc. The attainment of monodispersity in the size of LDHs is of utmost importance for their efficacy in biomedicine. This research emphasizes that the potential of LDHs is contingent upon effectively resolving difficulties, including those associated with size polydispersity. This study suggests using Surface Modified and Synthesized Layered Double Hydroxides for Biomedical Applications (SMS-LDH-BMA).

Heute und morgen verhandelt der IGH im Verfahren des einstweiligen Rechtsschutzes über eine Klage Südafrikas, in der gegen Israel aufgrund seiner Reaktionen auf die Anschläge der Hamas vom 7. Oktober 2023 der besonders schwere Vorwurf des Völkermords an Palästinenserinnen und Palästinensern erhoben wird. Die prozessuale Beteiligung der Bundesregierung an zwei weiteren Verfahren wegen Völkermords sowie weitere, nachfolgend zu erläuternde Gründe sprechen dafür, für das Hauptsacheverfahren zwischen Südafrika und Israel ebenfalls eine Nebenintervention zu erklären – hier allerdings mit dem Ziel, Israel beizustehen und der südafrikanischen Argumentation entgegenzutreten.
Contenido de hule de 15 genotipos de guayule Parthenium argentatum gray, de 3 años de edad
Authors: López Benítez Alfonso , Kuruvadi Sathyanarayanaiah
Published: January 2024

El análisis de varianza, para todas las características estudiadas, indicó diferencias altamente significativas entre genotipos. La variedad N-593, considerada como testigo, mostró 11.4% de hule en base a peso seco, y fue el más alto porcentaje obtenido, siendo estadísticamente iguales las variedades N-573, A 48118, G-12231, G-11600 y G-11624. Con respecto al contenido total de hule, en gramos por planta, la variedad G-11604 fue la mejor con 82.8 gr por planta y estadísticamente igual a ésta, las variedades A-48118, G-12231, G-11600 y G-11605, siendo, todas éstas, estadísticamente superiores al testigo. La superioridad de estas variedades, aun con mejor porcentaje de hule, aparentemente se debe a su mayor cantidad de biomasa, ya que la variedad N-593, con mayor porcentaje de hule, fue de las de menor peso se-co.

La altura y diámetro de copa de la planta, aun cuando pueden ser útiles para determinar si las condiciones de crecimiento son favorables o no, no revelaron una correlación estadísticamente significativa con su peso seco, lo cual indica que las plantas de mayor altura o diámetro de copa, no necesariamente son las de mayor peso seco. Esta observación parece ser importante ya que, según este estudio, los mayores rendimientos de hule en gramos por planta los obtuvieron las variedades de mayor peso seco. No se observó co-relación estadísticamente significativa entre porciento de hule y contenido de hule total en gramos por planta; sin embargo, sí se observó una correlación positiva y altamente significativa entre peso seco de la planta y contenido de hule en gramos por planta.

Aparentemente, en el rendimiento de hule en guayule intervienen por lo menos 2 factores importantes: el peso seco y porciento de hule en la planta.

La recombinación genética de estos 2, mediante hibridación, parecen ser importantes en el mejoramiento genético de esta especie para lograr altos rendimientos de hule por unidad de superficie.

Published: January 2024

La poliembrionía (PE) en alta frecuencia correspondiente a una población de maíz enano (BAP), podría estar asociada al contenido de aminoácidos esenciales en el grano. El objetivo de este trabajo fue establecer la prob able relación entre la poliembrionía, de una población de maíz braquítico y el contenido de lisina, triptófano y proteína cruda en el grano. Se evaluaron las siguientes variables: relación entre PE y niveles de proteína cruda (PC), lisina (LI), y triptófano (TR). Se compararon las determinaciones químicas de estas variables en cuatro generaciones de selección (1994; 1997; 2000 y 2003) de BAP y dos testigos, uno de alta calidad proteica (QPM) y otro representando al maíz común. La PC se determinó por el método Kjeldhal; LI y TR se cuantificaron vía cromatografía de gases. Los datos de los tratamientos y testigos se analizaron bajo un diseño completamente al azar, con dos repeticiones; comparación de medias por la prueba de Tukey (P<0.05) y un análisis de regresión lineal simple para detectar la posible asociación entre calidad proteica y ciclos de selección para alta PE. Los tratamientos presentaron diferencias (P<0.01) atribuibles a la diversidad genética, y a los cambios que ha sufrido la PE en dicha población debido a la selección. Para PC, el material QPM no superó los diferentes ciclos de los grupos BAP; en tanto que la generación 2003 fue igual al material QPM en el contenido de LI y aproximado al de TR. La poliembrionía presentó una relación significativa y positiva en el contenido de LI y TR pero no con PC; la ganancia por generación en los aminoácidos LI y TR fue de 1.09 y 0.1 g respectivamente. La PE en esta población resultó una vía alterna para incrementar la calidad proteica del grano de maíz.
Origen, importancia y aplicación de vermicomposta para el desarrollo de especies vegetales
Authors: Moreno Reséndez Alejandro
Published: January 2024

Hoy en día existen evidencias de que diversas especies de lombrices de tierra como la Eisenia fetida Savigny, Eisenia andrei Bouché, Lumbricus rubellus Hoffmeister y Perionyx excavatus Perrier pueden vivir fuera de su hábitat natural. Estas especies tienen elevada capacidad para adaptarse y reproducirse, apetito voraz y gran velocidad de crecimiento debido a que aprovechan diversos residuos orgánicos como el estiércol, lodos urbanos y agroindustriales, residuos de comida y de jardín como fuentes de elementos y energía para satisfacer su demanda alimenticia. Como resultado de su proceso metabólico, las lombrices utilizan, aproximadamente, el 40% de los materiales consumidos para sus funciones vitales y el resto lo expulsan como excretas, las cuales reciben el nombre de vermicomposta o humus de lombriz. Los efectos de la vermicomposta como abono orgánico en los cultivos han sido estudiados bajo condiciones de invernadero sustituyendo a los medios de crecimiento comercial que de manera tradicional se utilizan como sustratos y solo en cierto grado bajo condiciones de campo. Los resultados descritos determinaron que los medios de crecimiento comerciales, que de manera tradicional se utilizan en los invernaderos para el desarrollo de los cultivos, pueden ser sustituidos por mezclas que incluyan diferentes proporciones de vermicomposta y arena.
Deducción y conocimiento nuevo: una propuesta científicamente informada para enfrentar la paradoja de la inferencia
Authors: Nuñez Hernández Nancy Abigail
Published: January 2024

In deduction the truth of the premises guarantees the truth of the conclusion because the conclusion is contained in the premises; because of that many philosophers have denied the possibility of gaining knowledge through deduction or through deductive reasoning, which leads to a problem known as the paradox of inference. To address this problem, I propose a distinction between deductive reasoning as a cognitive process capable of generating new knowledge, and implication as a logical relation between propositions, which accounts for deduction’s validity, and I present scientific evidence to underpin this proposal.

En la deducción la verdad de las premisas garantiza la verdad de la conclusión porque la conclusión está contenida en las premisas; por ello varios filósofos han negado la posibilidad de obtener conocimientos a través de la deducción o del razonamiento deductivo, dando lugar a un problema que se conoce como paradoja de la inferencia. Pare enfrentar este problema propongo distinguir entre el razonamiento deductivo como proceso cognitivo capaz de generar conocimientos nuevos y la implicación deductiva como una relación lógica entre proposiciones que da cuenta de la validez de la deducción, y presento evidencia científica que apoya esta propuesta.

This review aims to declare the benefits of physical exercise and/or physical activity in the five types of cancer with the highest mortality rate in the world. A search was carried out in the databases: Pubmed, Cochrane, Scopus, Web of science, Scielo (Latin America) and Medline. The terms used for the search were: “lung cancer,” “liver cancer,” “breast cancer,” “stomach cancer,” “colon cancer,” “physical exercise,” “physical activity,” “exercise.” resistance” and “aerobic exercise”. Physical exercise and physical activity have shown benefits in morphological, metabolic and psychological variables, having a positive impact on increasing functionality, life expectancy and quality of life in cancer patients. Aerobic exercise demonstrated greater benefits in oxygen consumption, in addition to high adherence, while strength training in greater capacity specifically in the lower limbs.

Minding the Gap
Authors: Luzardo Jesús
Published: January 2024

Grounded in and influenced by the work of thinkers such as Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Frantz Fanon, Iris Marion Young, and Lewis Gordon, critical phenomenologists such as Lisa Guenther, Linda Martín Alcoff, George Yancy, and Sara Ahmed have recently provided accounts of whiteness through a phenomenological lens. In these analyses, whiteness is often figured as a "transcendental norm," a "background to experience," a "natural attitude," and a "sociogenic force," which remains invisible while structuring the world. In this article I suggest that such accounts ultimately collapse whiteness and the white subject, imagining the latter simply as an embodiment of the former. Consequently, these approaches to whiteness lack explanatory power. I argue that a critical phenomenological account of whiteness must examine more closely the relationship between white subjects and whiteness, and specifically point to the tensions, gaps, and contradictions between them, as these are not accidental but central to the very constitution of whiteness and to the power it wields over its subjects.
Horizons of Critique
Authors: Herrmann Steffen
Published: January 2024

Our political present is characterized by the rise of right-wing populism. This trend has not only led to a repoliticization of society, but also of academic philosophy, including phenomenology. In the U.S., a strong movement has emerged under the label of critical phenomenology whereas in Europe the movement of political phenomenology has become prominent. Both projects have in common the aim of positioning phenomenology as a critical project, questioning social relations of domination and power. These projects relate to Husserl’s transcendental phenomenology in different ways. In the following, I want to uncover this relation by fleshing out the horizons of critique that come with transcendental, critical, and political phenomenology. In particular I will show how the phenomenological method of demonstration can become a means of critique in political confrontations.
The Effect of Parenting Attitudes of Adolescents' Creative Personality: The Mediating Effect of Grit

The purpose of this study is to verify the mediating effect of grit in the relationship between parenting attitudes and adolescents' creative personality. For this purpose, this study analyzed 2,384 survey data in the third year of KCYPS 2018 from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey through SPSS 21.0. The results are as follows. First, there was a significant positive correlation between positive parenting attitudes, grit, and creative personality among parental parenting attitudes, while negative parenting attitudes were significantly negatively correlated with grit and creative personality. Second, a hierarchical regression analysis of the impact of parenting attitudes and grit on creative personality showed that positive parenting attitudes had a positive effect on creative personality, while negative parenting attitudes did not affect creative personality. On the other hand, grit was found to have a positive effect on creative personality. Third, based on the correlation between variables, grit's mediating effect on the relationship between parental parenting attitude and creative personality played a partial mediating role in the relationship between parents' positive parenting attitude and creative personality and parents' negative parenting attitude and creative personality. Through these results, positive parenting attitudes directly affect adolescents' creative personality, but through grit, creative personality increases. On the other hand, negative parenting attitudes not only directly lower the creative personality of adolescents, but also lower grit, resulting in a decline in creative personality. Based on the results of this study, it is meaningful that both the increase in positive parenting attitude and the decrease in negative parenting attitude of parents are significantly important to enhance the creative personality and grit of adolescents, and at the same time, reveal the importance of parenting.
