Panniculitis: A Cardinal Sign of Autoinflammation
Authors: Borges Tiago , Silva Sérgio
Published: November 2023

Panniculitis was first described in the nineteenth century and is characterized by inflammation
of the subcutaneous fat. It may be categorized in septal or lobular subtypes, but other histopathological
features (e.g., presence of vasculitis, nature of inflammatory infiltrates, characteristics
of fat necrosis) are also important for diagnostic purposes. Clinically, panniculitis is characterized
by the presence of subcutaneous nodules, and both ulcerative and nonulcerative clinical subtypes
have been proposed. In this review, we aimed to describe the occurrence of panniculitis in
autoinflammatory disorders (AIDs) and related diseases.

:

Among monogenic AIDs, panniculitis is common in IFN-mediated disorders. Panniculitis is a distinctive
feature in proteasome-associated autoinflammatory syndromes (PRAAS), including chronic
atypical neutrophilic dermatosis with lipodystrophy and elevated temperature (CANDLE) syndrome
and Nakajo-Nishimura syndrome. On the other hand, erythema nodosum corresponds to
the most common clinical form of panniculitis and is common in polygenic AIDs, such as Behçet’s
syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and sarcoidosis. Cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis,
lipoatrophic panniculitis of children, and otulipenia are rare disorders that may also present
with inflammation of the subcutaneous fat. Therefore, panniculitis can identify a specific subgroup
of patients with AIDs and may potentially be regarded as a cardinal sign of autoinflammation.

Published: November 2023

Background::

The fat attenuation index (FAI) of pericoronary adipose tissue is associated with coronary inflammatory reactions.

Objective::

volume (AO-EATV) using computed tomography (CT) in various plaques.

Method::

In total, 645 coronary artery CT angiogram images from 215 patients were collected. The types and number of coronary plaques were recorded,
and the plaque volume and pericoronary FAI of each branch were compared between the groups. The ratio of the FAI in branches with or without
plaques to the AO-EATV was determined and statistically analyzed between the groups.

Results::

No significant difference in the plaque volume among the left anterior descending (LAD), left circumflex (LCX), and right coronary artery (RCA)
(P > 0.05) as well as in the FAI was observed among various plaque groups (P > 0.05). FAI[LAD]/AO-EATV was in the following order:
noncalcified plaques (0.70 ± 0.06) < mixed plaques (0.72 ± 0.06) < calcified plaques (0.73 ± 0.08) < no plaques (0.74 ± 0.07); FAI[LCX]/AOEATV
was in the following order: noncalcified plaques (0.71 ± 0.06) < mixed plaques (0.72 ± 0.08) < calcified plaques (0.73 ± 0.09) < no plaques
(0.74 ± 0.06); and FAI[RCA]/AO-EATV was in the following order: noncalcified plaques (0.71 ± 0.06) < mixed plaques (0.73 ± 0.07) < calcified
plaques (0.74 ± 0.07) < no plaques (0.75 ± 0.09); the differences were statistically significant in each group (P = 0.041, 0.043, and 0.028,
respectively).

Conclusion::

Compared to simply comparing FAI, FAI/AO-EATV varied in the coronary arteries in various plaque groups. FAI/AO-EATV was lower in
noncalcified or mixed plaques and was associated with coronary inflammatory reactions.

Bleeding
Authors: Saviano Angela , Petruzziello Carmine , Zanza Christian , Candelli Marcello , Gabrielli Maurizio , Migneco Alessio , Franceschi Francesco , Ojetti Veronica
Published: November 2023

Background and Objective:

Abdominal pain is a frequent reason for admission to the
Emergency Department. It may be a symptom of an underlying "organic" disease or a
"functional" manifestation without an underlying anatomic or physiologic alteration. The
evaluation of patients with abdominal pain is a challenge for the emergency physician and the
selection of patients for second-level radiological examinations or endoscopic procedures is not
always easy to perform. Faecal calprotectin could be a useful diagnostic marker to distinguish
between "organic" or "functional" form and its determination could be helpful to select patients
for further examinations in the context of an emergency setting.

Materials and Methods:

This is an observational and retrospective study on 146 patients with
abdominal pain and/or diarrhea (with or without rectal bleeding) admitted to the Emergency
Department of Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS, Rome, who collected a
fecal sample to evaluate fecal calprotectin. We evaluated and correlated the level of fecal
calprotectin with the final diagnosis they received. Results: 50/146 patients (34,24%) received a
diagnosis of acute diverticulitis, in particular, 14/50 (28%) were complicated and 36/50 (72%)
were uncomplicated; 4/146 (2,7%) were cholangitis, 32/146 (21,9%) were colitis, 6/146 (4,1%)
gastritis, 42/146 (28,7%), Irritable bowel syndrome and 12/146 (8,2%) Inflammatory bowel
disease. For the differential diagnosis between Irriable or inflammatory bowel diseses, our study
showed a VPP and a VPN of 100% meanwhile for the differential diagnosis between Acute
complicated and uncomplicated diverticulitis, our study showed a VPP of 40% and a VPN of
84%.

Conclusion:

In the emergency setting, faecal calprotectin could be a helpful marker to select
patients with abdominal pain who need second-level radiological examinations or endoscopic
procedures, guiding the emergency physician in the evaluation of such a complex and wideranging symptom.
Automated Patient Activity Identification in Cyber-physical Systems Using
A Unique Deep Learning Approach and Multi-objective Optimization
Authors: Bhagwatrao Gaikwad Rama , Lakshmanan Ramanathan
Published: November 2023

Aims and Background:

For video understanding and analysis, human activity recognition
(HAR) has emerged as a challenging field to investigate and implement. Patients can be monitored in
real-time by a group of healthy individuals, and abnormal behaviors can be used to identify them later.
Patients who do not engage in customary physical activities are more likely to suffer from stress,
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and musculoskeletal disorders. Thus, it is critical to collect, evaluate,
and analyze data to determine their activities.

Objectives and Methodology:

Deep learning-based convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can be
used to solve the problem of patient activities in the healthcare system by identifying the most efficient
healthcare providers. Healthcare relies heavily on the integration of medical devices into cyberphysical
systems (CPS). Hospitals are progressively employing these technologies to maintain a high
standard of patient care. The CNN-CPS technique can be used by a healthcare organization to examine
a patient's medical history, symptoms, and tests to provide personalized care. A network of medical
devices must be integrated into healthcare. Hospitals are increasingly using these technologies to
ensure that patients get the best possible care at all times. Healthcare automation can dramatically
improve quality and consistency by reducing human errors and fatigue. The multiobjective optimization
is achieved considering various factors like the time required to find emergency case identification,
new disease prediction, and accuracy of data protection.

Results:

Consequently, patients are assured of receiving a consistent, attentive service at every visit.
Data and orders can be stored and entered more easily via automation, market research suggests. The
outcome of this article is obtained based on a comparison of various approaches in health monitoring
systems, such as collection of patient data is 82.3%, new disease prediction is 80.14%, emergency
case identification is 78.25%, data protection is 81.35%, immune to impersonation attack reduction is
78.36% and overall accuracy of data protection and transmission performance is 86.24% is achieved.

Conclusion:

Compared with existing methods DM-CC and HE-WSN for health monitoring and patient’s
treatment process, the proposed method CNN-CPS is better in maintaining the data and proper
information passed to the medical care is 92.56%.
Polyherbal Syrup for Coronavirus Infection: Formulation and Evaluation
Authors: Kotta Kranthi Kumar , Kadiri Sunil Kumar , Gouru Sampath Ayyappa
Published: November 2023

Background:

SARS-CoV-2 emerged in Wuhan in December 2019, and after that, it
spread quickly around the world. The virus could spread to millions of individuals since there were
no particular treatments or preventative measures. The COVID-19 infection is often treated with
current drugs such as Remdesivir, steroids, tocilizumab, favipiravir, and ivermectin. However, the
immunosuppressive effects of these medicines might worsen COVID-19 symptoms and put the lives
of immunocompromised individuals in peril. Thus, it is important to sustain a robust immune system
when undergoing therapy for COVID-19. Herbal treatment has the potential to accomplish this objective.

Objective:

The current investigation involves the preparation of polyherbal syrup containing various
medicinal plants such as ephedra, diascorea, ginger, echinacea, garlic, rhubarb, and glycyrrhiza for
the effective control of the COVID-19 infection.

Methods:

All varieties of the individual plant powders (200 g) were treated to a 7 day maceration in
aqueous ethanol (70:30) in a percolator at room temperature with intermittent vigorous shaking at
room temperature and storage of the extract in a dark room. The mixture was run through a muslin
cloth and then a Whatman qualitative grade 1 filter paper to produce the filtrate. The filtrate was
evaporated to a thick paste-like consistency at 370 °C under decreased pressure in a rota evaporator
connected to a vacuum pump. After that, each individual extract was collected and kept in airtight
jars at 4°C. According to the Indian Pharmacopoeia, simple syrup (66.67% w/v) of polyherbal extract
was prepared. The oral administration of polyherbal syrup was carried out at varied doses of 0.5
ml, 1 ml, and 1.5 ml to infected golden Syrian hamsters from the 7th day for one week after infection
reached its peak.

Results:

When compared to the infection control group, the results revealed that the viral load was
significantly reduced by 79.1% when treated with polyherbal syrup. A histological examination of
the infected hamster lung on days 7, 10, and 13 demonstrated that polyherbal syrup significantly
decreased viral load in a dose-dependent manner.

Conclusion:

It is inferred that the polyherbal syrup formulation demonstrates efficacy in the prevention
of COVID-19 infection during its first stages and may serve as a potential contender for SARSCoV-
2 due to its immunomodulatory properties.

Nature Connection, Mindfulness, and Wellbeing: A Network Analysis
Authors: Capizzi Robert , Kempton Heather Mary
Published: November 2023

Relationships between nature connection, mindfulness and wellbeing have been observed through nature based therapeutic interventions, where mindfulness and nature appear to reciprocally influence each other in relation to wellbeing and is potentially consistent with attention restoration theory. However, previous studies have relied on examining nature based interventions rather than the role of nature connection in everyday lives. This investigation explored the relationship between nature connection, mindfulness, and wellbeing within a general population sample in Auckland, New Zealand during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants (n = 472) completed a survey questionnaire measuring nature connectedness (CNS), hedonic and eudemonic wellbeing (PANAS and MLQ), stress (PSS), and mindfulness (FFMQ). Given mindfulness consists of interrelated practices and the relationship between mindfulness and nature connection is thought to be reciprocal, an EBIC GLASSO network was constructed to investigate the pathways between nature connection, mindfulness, and wellbeing. The FFMQ subscale of Observing was central to the network in terms of closeness and betweenness and had a strong correlation with CNS where it bridged CNS and wellbeing scales. This study demonstrates that individuals in their daily lives show relationships between nature connection, mindfulness, and wellbeing, and indicates that the Observing aspect of mindfulness might be useful for harnessing nature connection and wellbeing effects.

Authors: Liu Bo , Wan Xinyue , Li Xiaofang , Zhu Dian , Liu Zhao
Published: November 2023

Background

Knowledge construction in the context of children’s science education is an important part of fostering the development of early scientific literacy. Nevertheless, children sometimes struggle to comprehend scientific knowledge due to the presence of abstract notions.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of augmented reality (AR) games as a teaching tool for enhancing children’s understanding of optical science education.

Methods

A total of 36 healthy Chinese children aged 6-8 years were included in this study. The children were randomly divided into an intervention group (n=18, 50%) and a control group (n=18, 50%). The intervention group received 20 minutes of AR science education using 3 game-based learning modules, whereas the control group was asked to learn the same knowledge for 20 minutes with a non-AR science learning app. Predict observe explain tests for 3 topics (animal vision, light transmission, and color-light mixing) were conducted for all participants before and after the experiment. Additionally, the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory, which measures levels of interest-enjoyment, perceived competence, effort-importance, and tension-pressure, was conducted for children after the experiment.

Results

There was a statistically significant difference in light transmission (z=−2.696; P=.008), color-light mixing (z=−2.508; P=.01), and total predict observe explain test scores (z=2.458; P=.01) between the 2 groups. There were also variations between the groups in terms of levels of interest-enjoyment (z=−2.440; P=.02) and perceived competence (z=−2.170; P=.03) as measured by the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory.

Conclusions

The randomized controlled trial confirmed that the AR-based science education game we designed can correct children’s misconceptions about science and enhance the effectiveness of science education.

Published: November 2023

UNSTRUCTURED

Lockdowns and border closures due to COVID-19 imposed mental, social, and financial hardships in many societies. Living with the virus and resuming normal life are increasingly being advocated due to decreasing virus severity and widespread vaccine coverage. However, current trends indicate a continued absence of effective contingency plans to stop the next more virulent variant of the pandemic. The COVID-19–related mask waste crisis has also caused serious environmental problems and virus spreads. It is timely and important to consider how to precisely implement surveillance for the dynamic clearance of COVID-19 and how to efficiently manage discarded masks to minimize disease transmission and environmental hazards. In this viewpoint, we sought to address this issue by proposing an appropriate strategy for intelligent surveillance of infected cases and centralized management of mask waste. Such an intelligent strategy against COVID-19, consisting of wearable mask sample collectors (masklect) and voiceprints and based on the STRONG (Spatiotemporal Reporting Over Network and GPS) strategy, could enable the resumption of social activities and economic recovery and ensure a safe public health environment sustainably.
Gender-inclusive language in public-facing labor and delivery webpages in the New York City tristate area: An observational study (Preprint)
Authors: Isaac Sarah Mohsen , Dawes Mark , Howell Emily Ruth , Oladipo Antonia Francis
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Transgender and nonbinary individuals are increasingly becoming gestational parents, and hospital websites should reflect these trends. For prospective transgender parents, a hospital website is the only way patients can assess their safety from discrimination while receiving perinatal care. Cisnormativity enforced by communication gaps between medical institutions and transgender patients can and has caused delays in receiving urgent care during their pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to evaluate the current prevalence of gender-inclusive terminology among labor and delivery services in the New York City tristate area.

METHODS

The labor and delivery webpages of 189 hospitals from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut were examined for gender-inclusive language. “Fully inclusive” websites explicitly acknowledged Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual plus other gender and sexual oriented (LGBTQIA+) patients, “inclusive” websites did not use gendered terminology for patients, and “non-inclusive” websites used gendered terms at least once in the text reviewed. The hospitals’ webpages were further stratified by Healthcare Equality Index (HEI) scores and population classifications defined by the 2013 National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) Urban-Rural classification given to the county that each hospital was located in.

RESULTS

Of the 300 hospital websites reviewed and only 189 websites met criteria for inclusion.
Overall, only 6.3% (n = 12) of labor and delivery webpages were “inclusive” or “fully inclusive”. No geographic areas (P = .61) or HEI score (P = .81) were associated with inclusive or fully inclusive language.

CONCLUSIONS

Hospitals need to utilize inclusive language to help gender-nonconforming people identify hospitals where their existence and needs are acknowledged and thus feel more comfortable in their transition to parenthood.
Radiology Residency Distance Learning during COVID-19: Implications for China’s Health System Recovery (Preprint)
Authors: Wang Peicheng , Wu Ziye , Zhang Jingfeng , He Yanrong , Jiang Maoqing , Zheng Jianjun , Wang Zhenchang , Yang Zhenghan , Chen Yanhua , Zhu Jiming
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Health systems resilience and recovery relies heavily on appropriate competencies of health workers. Distance learning, an alternative to in-person learning, has gained popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of distance learning on residents’ competency development and to explore the moderating effect of mental health on relevant associations.

OBJECTIVE

It is hypothesized that radiology residents who were trained through distance learning were more likely to report higher competencies, compared to those who did not receive distance learning. Mental health problems moderated the association between distance learning and competency among radiology residents.

METHODS

A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2021, targeting all the radiology residents in 407 radiology residency programmes across 31 provinces of China. To estimate long-term outcomes of radiology residents’ training after the initial COVID-19 outbreak, this study measured six core competencies developed by the US Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Multiple linear regression and moderating effect analysis were used to examine the associations between distance learning, mental health, and competencies.

RESULTS

A total of 2,381 radiology residents responded to the survey. Of those, 71.4% were provided with distance learning in the context of COVID-19, and 73.2% reported slight or more mental health struggles then. Radiology residents who were trained through distance learning (β=0.35, 90%CI=0.24-0.45) were more likely to report higher competencies. This was particularly true for the competency domain ‘interpersonal and communication skills’ (β=0.55, 90%CI=0.39-0.70), while distance learning least benefited the competency domain ‘patient care and technical skills’ (β=0.14, 90%CI=0.01-0.26). Mental health problem significantly moderated the aforementioned relationship (β = -0.15, 90%CI=-0.27 – -0.02).

CONCLUSIONS

Distance learning, a means of promoting enabling environments, serves its purpose and helps generally improve residents’ competencies, though different competency domains benefit unequally. The impact of mental health calls for special attention so that distance learning can fulfil its potential of facilitating health systems resilience & recovery.

Authors: Health Puhong , Yang Zhao Yang Zhao , Jie Shang Jie , Nadila Duolikun , Li Tao , Liu Yu , Abdurixit Gulizat , Hirst Jane Elizabeth
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

The Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) faces challenges like high training costs and limited literacy among community health workers (CHWs), resulting in low adherence. Electronic IMCI (eIMCI) platforms with training modules may address these limitations but require further evaluation.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to evaluate an eIMCI platform for training support and disease management in rural China.

METHODS

A cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted in western China. 24 CHWs and 72 children aged 2-5 years treated by them (3 per CHW) were randomized into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received online training and used the eIMCI platform for disease management. The control group received traditional in-person training and paper-based IMCI. The primary outcome was the proportion of children correctly diagnosed/classified by the CHWs as deemed by a pediatric specialist. Poisson regression with Generalized Linear Models estimated the relative risk (RR) between groups, adjusting for CHW clustering, CHW variables (age, sex, education), and patient variables (age, sex, disease number).

RESULTS

13 CHWs treated 39 children in the intervention group, and 11 CHWs treated 33 children in the control group. Correct classification was significantly higher in the intervention versus control group (64.1% vs 39.4%, P=.036). Multivariable regression confirmed this improvement (RR=2.10, 95% CI: 1.45-3.06; P<.001). Correct treatment increased non-significantly (38.5% vs 27.3%, P=.316). Online training reduced time and costs by ~80% but with a minor decline in post-training scores.

CONCLUSIONS

With substantially lower training burden, the eIMCI platform demonstrated potential to improve IMCI in rural China.

Making Science Computable Using Evidence-Based Medicine on Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources: Standards Development Project (Preprint)
Authors: Soares Andrey , Schilling Lisa M , Richardson Joshua , Kommadi Bhagvan , Subbian Vignesh , Dehnbostel Joanne , Shahin Khalid , Robinson Karen A , Afzal Muhammad , Lehmann Harold P , Kunnamo Ilkka , Alper Brian S
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) has the potential to improve health outcomes, but EBM has not been widely integrated into the systems used for research or clinical decision-making. There has not been a scalable and reusable computer-readable standard for distributing research results and synthesized evidence among creators, implementers, and the ultimate users of that evidence. Evidence that is more rapidly updated, synthesized, disseminated, and implemented would improve both the delivery of EBM and evidence-based health care policy.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to introduce the EBM on Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) project (EBMonFHIR), which is extending the methods and infrastructure of Health Level Seven (HL7) FHIR to provide an interoperability standard for the electronic exchange of health-related scientific knowledge.

METHODS

As an ongoing process, the project creates and refines FHIR resources to represent evidence from clinical studies and syntheses of those studies and develops tools to assist with the creation and visualization of FHIR resources.

RESULTS

The EBMonFHIR project created FHIR resources (ie, ArtifactAssessment, Citation, Evidence, EvidenceReport, and EvidenceVariable) for representing evidence. The COVID-19 Knowledge Accelerator (COKA) project, now Health Evidence Knowledge Accelerator (HEvKA), took this work further and created FHIR resources that express EvidenceReport, Citation, and ArtifactAssessment concepts. The group is (1) continually refining FHIR resources to support the representation of EBM; (2) developing controlled terminology related to EBM (ie, study design, statistic type, statistical model, and risk of bias); and (3) developing tools to facilitate the visualization and data entry of EBM information into FHIR resources, including human-readable interfaces and JSON viewers.

CONCLUSIONS

EBMonFHIR resources in conjunction with other FHIR resources can support relaying EBM components in a manner that is interoperable and consumable by downstream tools and health information technology systems to support the users of evidence.

The data used in this research is song lyrics in the form of phrases, clauses, and sentences. This data was obtained from Olivia Rodrigo’s official account on Spotify. The research method used in this research is descriptive-qualitative. The theory of attitude in this research is from Martin and White. This theory is used to identify the types and the manifestation of attitude in Sour. The results show that three kinds of attitudes (affect, judgment, and appreciation) are applied in the song lyrics. Based on the results, affect is the highest type of attitude found, with 74 frequencies (60.66%). Then, judgment is the second type of attitude that appears a lot with 39 frequencies (31.97%). The last type of attitude is appreciation, appearing at least with 9 frequencies (7.37%). Meanwhile, the manifestation, negative manifestation was the highest with 94 frequencies (77.05%), and the positive manifestation with 28 frequencies (22.95%). Affect is the highest type of attitude found in Sour song lyrics. Since more than 60% of the data is found in the form of expressions of feeling undesired, unhappiness, happiness, dissatisfaction, satisfaction, insecurity, and security. Meanwhile, negative manifestation is the highest type of manifestation found. Since 77% of the data is found in the form of expressions of misery, displeasure, disquiet, undesired, criticism, and condemnation.
AMERICAN SUBCULTURE: AN IDENTITY TRANSFORMATION OF HIP HOP
Authors: Ramadhan Luthfadery
Published: November 2023

Hip-hop has become a global phenomenon, transcending cultural boundaries and influencing artists and communities worldwide. It came from the Black community’s idea of creativity concerning their lifestyle and how they dress—starting from their youth’s energy of creativity to represent their community identity in a larger dominant culture of the US. It transforms the identity of the Black people community into a hip-hop subculture. Through literature analysis, the process of breaking all the challenges and contradictions from the mainstream culture is explained in this paper. Moreover, Burke’s social identity theory and identity theory are utilized in this research. Identity transformation of hip hop to a subculture cannot be separated from its core elements, i.e., music with its poetic and rhyme wordings, unique fashion to emphasize their presence in society, dance as the platform of freedom activity, and language as the tool to convey their identity. These elements are the core of hip-hop in forming self-identities and collective identity, as well as providing a platform for self-expression, storytelling, and cultural exchange.

Authors: Vences Vidal Magdalena
Published: November 2023

En este libro se analizan imágenes hagiográficas y artísticas de tipo piadoso con un sustrato dogmático, acerca del dominico valenciano Luis Bertrán (1526-1581) que evangelizó en el Nuevo Reino de Granada (Colombia). Fue beatificado en 1671, con motivo de esos procesos se desarrolló un prototipo plástico (iconográfico y gestual) que partió de su vera effigies y que fue diversificado en el tiempo ¿Qué tipo de identificación fue establecida por quienes impulsaron su culto, por qué distinguido abogado contra el cólera morbus en México? Los discursos y recursos plásticos-literarios sobre los santos son un magnífico medio para conocer comportamientos y aspiraciones humanas en un sistema de jerarquías, de manifestaciones públicas controladas y de las alteridades en el mundo hispánico.

Leopoldo Zea escritos de juventud 1933-1942
Authors: Hurtado Guillermo
Published: November 2023

El propósito de este libro es recuperar al Zea de sus años mozos a través de sus publicaciones en periódicos y revistas de 1933 a 1942. El primer texto examinado fue publicado en diciembre de 1933, cuando apenas contaba con 21 años, y el último, en diciembre de 1942, cuando había alcanzado los 30 años de edad. Los artículos periodísticos de Zea son los escritos de un joven indignado por la descomposición moral del régimen, insatisfecho con los magros resultados sociales de la Revolución e inquieto por la ausencia de canales políticos para la oposición. Sus artículos filosóficos son los escritos de un joven pensador, original y vigoroso, que se planteaba cuestiones fundamentales de su tiempo, como el sentido de responsabilidad de la filosofía, la posibilidad de una filosofía genuinamente americana y la condición existencialista del ser humano en un mundo en peligro de destrucción.
Romania y América Latina
Authors: Ardao Arturo
Published: November 2023

En este libro se desdoblan en dos aspectos mayores: la idea de Romania y la idea de América Latina. Pero con el objetivo principal de establecer el origen de la segunda, en el siglo xix, como resultado del conjunto de pensamientos y sentimientos que determinaron la exhumación de la primera, también en el siglo xix. / El renacimiento románico de la primeras décadas de dicho siglo, infundió un sentido nuevo a las viejas nociones de romanidad y latinidad. Fue entonces que empezó a hablarse de una Europa latina, y rápidamente, como prolongación suya, de una América Latina. Llamadas así, una y otra, no por su condición de latinas en sentido estricto, sino por románicas; es decir, hablantes de lenguas derivadas del latín.

Published: November 2023

Many safety-critical Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) applications, including automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, surround view parking assistance, driver drowsiness detection, and gaze detection, are dedicated to helping drivers prevent car accidents and safeguard lives. In situations where numerous vehicles share the road simultaneously, having precise data onthe relative speed and distance between these vehicles is of paramount importance. To calculate both long-range and short-range information, specialized sensors are utilized to estimate vehicle speed and range.The central objective of this project is to effectively detect approaching vehicles. This goal is achieved by using a Doppler radar module to sense vehicle movements, and an Arduino board is employed to process the radar signals, providing the necessary data.

Advancements in AI-Enhanced Just-In-Time Inventory: Elevating Demand Forecasting Accuracy
Authors: Pal Subharun
Published: November 2023

The landscape of global supply chains is undergoing a transformation characterized by increasing complexity and the need for agile response to demand fluctuations. At the forefront of addressing these challenges is the strategic alignment of inventory levels with volatile demand, a task that has become more sophisticated within the Just-In-Time (JIT) inventory management paradigm. This paper explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into JIT systems, with a focus on enhancing the accuracy of demand forecasting—a critical component for inventory optimization. We present a groundbreaking hybrid AI model that combines the forward-thinking capabilities of neural networks with the reliability of classical statistical forecasting methods. This innovative approach seeks to elevate forecasting reliability and reduce errors that lead to either inventory shortfalls or surpluses. Through a series of case studies spanning various industries, the versatility and effectiveness of the hybrid model are demonstrated, highlighting improvements in forecasting accuracy and the resulting operational benefits.
Aspects of knowledge, attitude, and practices about COVID-19 in basic education students: A meta-analysis
Authors: Origenes Ritchelle W.
Published: November 2023

Updated scientific material is needed to incorporate research-based COVID-19 interventions and strategies into basic education. This meta-analysis examined basic education students' COVID-19 Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices (KAP) across the globe. This study identified KAPs needed to integrate COVID-19 into Basic Education after the meta-analysis. Thirteen published studies on basic education students' KAPs toward COVID-19 were analyzed using meta-analysis. PRISMA was utilized in this study. JBI and STROBE checklists assessed these studies' quality. Three low-quality and ten high-quality published studies were identified. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were used due to the studies' heterogeneity. Low-quality studies had higher KAP pooled levels. Although the pooled KAPs on COVID-19 between the study groups of elementary students only, elementary and high school students, and high school students only were only slightly different, more high school students had good and better KAPs toward COVID-19. Globally, basic education students had high COVID-19 KAPs. There were items in KAPs identified as essential topics for science lesson integration. These six items were identified as essential topics for lesson integration in knowledge, five in attitude, and four items in practice.

NOTAS SOBRE LA FORMACIÓN LEGAL DE PREGRADO EN ESCUELAS DE NEGOCIOS
Authors: Marmolejo González Críspulo
Published: November 2023

La sofisticación de los mercados, las reformas de infraestructura institucional y los cambios regulatorios de los últimos veinte años, han generado en Chile un incremento en la complejidad del cumplimiento normativo para personas naturales y empresas. La configuración de este escenario, fruto de la incorporación de Chile a la OCDE, pero también de episodios infraccionales, impone le necesidad de una mejor formación legal para agentes de mercado que, por una parte, deseen emprender, y por otra, para quienes ejerzan funciones de administración al interior de una compañía.

Desde esta perspectiva, resulta necesario explorar la inclusión de cursos de educación jurídica en los planes de estudios de las carreras referidas al ámbito de economía o administración de negocios y delinear las proyecciones que implica esa formación legal para estudiantes de pregrado en dichas unidades académicas.
