Published: March 2024

Num mundo globalizado onde há o conflito entre valores gerados por sistemas que pregam conceitos distintos, há uma minoria que se encontra vulnerável e à mercê de quaisquer direitos efetivos, os deslocados internos, que são todo grupo numeroso de pessoas que foram forçadas, de forma súbita ou inesperada, a desenraizar-se e a abandonar as suas casas, fixando-se em locais diferentes no seu país, em razão de perseguições por razões diversas, mas que acabam não cruzando fronteiras, o que por si só gera graves e acentuados problemas, já que acabam se submetendo a condições de vida degradantes nos locais onde lhes são permitidos sobreviver. A partir do levantamento bibliográfico e do método dedutivo, observa-se o panorama jurídico-social desses migrantes que fogem para sobreviver, mas em vez de encontrar respaldo no novo local que os acolhe, acabam encarando entraves, às vezes, ainda piores. Ademais, partindo da mesma premissa e metodologia, focar-se-á em analisar e expor os principais conceitos, questões e propostas que abarcam o panorama dessas pessoas reféns e vulneráveis de sua própria lamentável situação, e mais especificamente de grupos minoritários de direitos inseridos no âmbito já precário das migrações forçadas, como as mulheres deslocadas internas, existentes nas estranhas desse fenômeno migratório, já que as dificuldades que se levantam diariamente para efetivação dos direitos a elas inerentes fogem do controle e ultrapassam todo limite admissível de razão e bom senso, já que tais minorias frágeis lutam por preceitos basilares e direitos mínimos existenciais, tal como a ruptura do dogma de sujeito único e universal de direitos pautado em estereótipos e condições extremamente divergente das suas, o que acabam por acarretar em imensuráveis dificuldades de se desenvolverem e se inserirem no seu contexto social de maneira digna e formal, além de garantir e efetivar o seu direito de ter direitos como marco de tolerância e respeito à dignidade humana independente de estereótipos, como, os que causaram suas perseguições e migrações.

Effective versus Floquet theory for the Kerr parametric oscillator
Authors: García-Mata Ignacio , Cortiñas Rodrigo G. , Xiao Xu , Chávez-Carlos Jorge , Batista Victor S. , Santos Lea F. , Wisniacki Diego A.
Published: March 2024

Parametric gates and processes engineered from the perspective of the static effective Hamiltonian of a driven system are central to quantum technology. However, the perturbative expansions used to derive static effective models may not be able to efficiently capture all the relevant physics of the original system. In this work, we investigate the conditions for the validity of the usual low-order static effective Hamiltonian used to describe a Kerr oscillator under a squeezing drive. This system is of fundamental and technological interest. In particular, it has been used to stabilize Schrödinger cat states, which have applications for quantum computing. We compare the states and energies of the effective static Hamiltonian with the exact Floquet states and quasi-energies of the driven system and determine the parameter regime where the two descriptions agree. Our work brings to light the physics that is left out by ordinary static effective treatments and that can be explored by state-of-the-art experiments.
Less sample-Cooperative Spectrum Sensing Against Large-scale Byzantine Attack in Cognitive Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Wu Jun , Dai Mingyuan , Teng Xuyang , Wu Chao , He Meilin , Liang Haoyu , Chen Hao , Jin Ye
Published: March 2024

Cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) has emerged as a promising
strategy for identifying available spectrum resources by leveraging
spatially distributed sensors in cognitive wireless sensor networks
(CWSNs). Nevertheless, this open collaborative approach is susceptible
to security threats posed by malicious sensors (MSs), specifically
Byzantine attack, which can significantly undermine CSS accuracy.
Moreover, in extensive CWSNs, the CSS process imposes substantial
communication overhead on the reporting channel, thereby considerably
diminishing cooperative efficiency. To tackle these challenges, this
article introduces a refined CSS approach, termed weighted sequential
detection (WSD). This method incorporates channel state information
(CSI) to validate the global decision made by the fusion center (FC) and
assess the trust value of sensors. The trust value based weight is
assigned to sensing samples, which are then integrated into a sequential
detection framework within a defined time window. This sequential
approach prioritizes samples based on descending trust values. Numerical
simulation results reveal that the proposed WSD outperforms conventional
fusion rules in terms of error probability and sample size, even under
varying degrees of Byzantine attack. This innovation signifies a
substantial advancement in enhancing the reliability and efficiency of
CSS.
Brugada and Epilepsy: Recurrent coincidence or meant to be?
Authors: Akhdar Ghida , Akpan Inemesit , Atencah Stanley Emmanuel
Published: March 2024

Brugada syndrome, though rare, poses a significant risk of sudden
cardiac death, particularly in young adults, and remains underdiagnosed
globally. We present the case of a 22-year-old male initially presenting
with a presumed seizure episode, later found to exhibit findings
suggestive of type 1 Brugada pattern on his admission electrocardiogram
(EKG). Differential diagnosis between seizure and syncope was
challenging, compounded by the difficulty in distinguishing convulsive
syncope from seizure activity. While Brugada syndrome and epilepsy are
not commonly associated, there is evidence suggesting a shared genetic
basis, particularly in ion channel mutations. Our case underscores the
importance of considering Brugada syndrome in patients presenting with
seizure-like episodes and concerning EKG findings, prompting cardiology
consultation and electrophysiological studies. The absence of a Brugada
pattern post-ictally should not exclude diagnosis, especially in the
context of appropriate clinical suspicion. Further research is warranted
to elucidate the relationship between Brugada syndrome and epilepsy, and
the potential implications for diagnosis and management.
Reaching and implementing the best available knowledge in wildlife biology
Authors: Willebrand Tomas , Newey Scott
Published: March 2024

Wildlife biology is an applied discipline, where research results are to
varying degree incorporated to accepted knowledge However, several
factors appear to increase the divide between research results, and
knowledge and implementation. First, there is an exponential increase in
number of published papers, in part driven by misguided reliance on
publication record for assessing scientific competence. The shear number
of publications risk diluting knowledge through salami-slicing or simply
making it difficult to find relevant publications. This development
could be problematic for the future of wildlife biology, and it has made
complex statistical analysis of already available data more profitable
than the ability to generate new data in robust field studies. Research
results are conceptually different from knowledge and need to be
evaluated in a post-publication process to become knowledge. Secondly,
the formulation of research questions has become restricted by the way
research is organised and funded. A shift from a focus on individual
performance to research groups could encourage the development of more
complex research questions that are better suited to advance the
knowledge of wildlife biology. Funding agencies and research
institutions need to think beyond current norm of a three year funding
package. Thirdly, defining knowledge as the result of a post-publishing
evaluating of research publications would facilitate knowledge transfer
between researchers and practitioners. It is well established that a
two-way transfer of knowledge and experience is beneficial to both
researchers and practitioners but the low return on academic recognition
for such efforts is currently simply too low, which positively
discourages researchers from dividing limited resources into such
activities. Only academic institutions and funding agencies together can
make the significant changes needed as have begun in other disciplines.
However, researchers also need to embrace existing and emerging
initiatives such as Open Sceince, FAIRdata, CREDIT authorship to
accelerate change.
Emergence of a resource acquisition tradeoff at the community scale during environmental change
Authors: Pranger Anton , Peeters Frank , Wagner Nathalie , Diehl Sebastian , Straile Dietmar
Published: March 2024

Trophic change has induced substantial changes in biomass and
composition of aquatic communities. Based on phytoplankton data from
Lake Constance we demonstrate that community function is closely
connected to community composition and responds strongly to trophic
change. Community mean traits phosphate affinity and light affinity are
tightly linked to trophic state during eutrophication and
re-oligotrophication, suggesting reversibility of community function.
Phosphate and light affinity are anti-correlated. This anti-correlation
is weak in the species pool distinguished in the dataset, but strong
when weighting the traits by the species biovolumes or when comparing
community mean traits from different trophic states. The emergence of
this tradeoff between phosphate and light affinity indicates competitive
advantage of species with traits near the tradeoff line. The correlation
between community mean maximum growth rate and trophic state turned out
to be spurious and resulted from the development of Dinophyceae spp.
which have an alternative mode of nutrition.
Beyond Peaks and Troughs: Multiplexed Performance Monitoring Signals in the EEG
Authors: Ullsperger Markus
Published: March 2024

With the discovery of event-related potentials elicited by errors more
than thirty years ago, a new avenue of research on performance
monitoring, cognitive control, and decision making was opened. Since
then, the field has developed and expanded fulminantly. After a brief
overview on the EEG correlates of performance monitoring, this article
reviews recent advancements in the field of performance monitoring based
on single-trial analyses using independent component analysis, multiple
regression, and multivariate pattern classification. Given the close
interconnection between performance monitoring and reinforcement
learning, computational modeling and model-based EEG analyses have made
a particularly strong impact. The reviewed findings demonstrate that
error- and feedback-related EEG dynamics represent variables reflecting
how performance monitoring signals are weighted and transformed into an
adaptation signal that guides future decisions and actions. The
model-based single-trial analysis approach goes far beyond conventional
peak-and-trough analyses of event-related potentials and enables testing
mechanistic theories of performance monitoring, cognitive control and
decision making.
The role of large pre-trained models in ecology and biodiversity conservation: Opportunities and Challenges

Large pre-trained models (LPMs) have the capabilities to understand
natural language, code, and diverse data including images; e.g., large
language models (LLMs), code-generative models, and large vision models
(LVMs) as well as combined as multi-modal models. We outlines the main
applications of LPMs and multi-modal LPMs for ecology and biodiversity
conservation. These applications include generating ecological data,
generating code, providing insights into public opinion and sentiment.
We highlighted the significant potential of LPMs and the potential use
of Ecology-specialized LPMs for ecology and biodiversity conservation.
They offer unprecedented opportunities for analyzing diverse data,
extracting meaningful insights, and informing conservation decisions.

Published: March 2024

Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, including collagens, ECM
glycoproteins, and proteoglycans, are critical components of tissue
structure and function. In addition to the core matrisome, there are
matrisome-associated proteins that balance ECM production and
degradation. The identification and quantification of ECM proteins using
mass spectrometry is often hindered by their low abundance and their
tendency to aggregate, forming insoluble macromolecules in aqueous
solutions. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a
decellularization strategy that combined freeze-thaw cycles and sodium
dodecyl sulphate treatment, in identifying and quantifying ECM proteins
in mouse kidney using mass spectrometry. This decellularization strategy
preserved 95% of the Core matrisome proteins detected in
non-decellularized kidney and revealed additional once.
Decellularization also led to an increase in the abundance of 96% of
the core matrisome ECM proteins by an average of 59 times due to the
successful removal of cellular and matrisome-associated proteins.
However, the enrichment varied greatly among ECM proteins, resulting in
a misrepresentation of the native ECM protein composition of the kidney.
This should be brought to the attention of the matrisome research
community, as it highlights the need for caution when interpreting
proteomic data obtained following a decellularization procedure.
Fidelity of translation initiation in bacteria: an initiator tRNA-centric view
Authors: Varshney Umesh , Lahry Kuldeep , Datta Madhurima
Published: March 2024

Translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) in bacteria occurs in the steps of
initiation, elongation, termination and ribosome recycling. The
initiation step comprises multiple stages and uses a special transfer
RNA (tRNA) called initiator tRNA (i-tRNA), which is first aminoacylated
and then formylated using methionine and N
-formyl-tetrahydrofolate (N
-fTHF), respectively. Both methionine and N
-fTHF are produced via one-carbon metabolism,
linking translation initiation with active cellular metabolism. The
fidelity of i-tRNA binding to the ribosomal peptidyl-site (P-site) is
attributed to the structural features in its acceptor stem, and the
highly conserved three consecutive G-C base pairs (3GC pairs) in the
anticodon stem. While the acceptor stem region is important in
formylation of the amino acid attached to i-tRNA and its initial binding
to the P-site, the 3GC pairs are crucial in transiting i-tRNA through
various stages of initiation. We utilized the feature of 3GC pairs to
investigate the nuanced layers of scrutiny that ensure fidelity of
translation initiation through i-tRNA abundance and its interactions
with the components of the translation apparatus. We discuss the
importance of i-tRNA in the final stages of ribosome maturation, as also
the roles of the Shine-Dalgarno sequence, ribosome heterogeneity,
initiation factors, ribosome recycling factor and coevolution of the
translation apparatus in orchestrating a delicate balance between the
fidelity of initiation and/or its leakiness to generate proteome
plasticity in cells to confer growth fitness advantages in response to
the dynamic nutritional states.
Potential Benefits and Dangers of Using Large Language Models for Advancing Sustainability Science and Communication
Authors: Nabavi Ehsan , Maier Holger R , Razavi Saman , Hindes Adrian , Howden Mark , Grant Will , Raman Sujatha
Published: March 2024

Advancements in large language models (LLMs) provide opportunities to
accelerate progress towards the attainment of the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs). Current research largely overlooks the nuanced
benefits and dangers LLMs introduce to sustainability research and
communication, as well as broader challenges that need to be addressed
in the longer term. This paper overcomes these shortcomings by
introducing and discussing a framework that highlights how LLMs can
benefit knowledge production, mobilization, and communication in the
sustainability sciences, as well as any associated dangers.

In addition, it outlines potential long-term challenges that must be
acknowledged and addressed to ensure the responsible use of LLMs in
advancing sustainability science. A key to the development and use of
LLMs for sustainability science is the development of regulatory
measures. These measures should be guided by what is needed for
expanding sustainability science on the one hand and a holistic view to
ensure its responsible use on the other. Failure to reflect and act on
this might result in unintended consequences or misuse, making the
technology another roadblock to progress towards the SDGs.
Rapid geomagnetic variations during HSS/SIR, ICME sheath and magnetic cloud-driven geomagnetic storms
Authors: Pedersen Marcus N. , Juusola Liisa , Vanhamäki Heikki , Aikio Anita T. , Viljanen Ari
Published: March 2024

The most detrimental geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) documented
to date have all taken place during geomagnetic storms. Yet, the
probability of GICs throughout geomagnetic storms driven by different
solar wind transients, such as high-speed streams/stream interaction
regions (HSS/SIR) or interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) sheaths
and magnetic clouds (MC), is poorly understood. We present an algorithm
to detect geomagnetic storms and storm phases, resulting in a catalog of
755 geomagnetic storms from January 1996 to June 2023 with the solar
wind drivers. Using these storms and the IMAGE magnetometer network, we
study the temporal and spatial evolution of spikes in the external
dH\textsubscript{ext}/dt greater than 0.5 nT/s during
geomagnetic storms driven by HSS/SIR, sheaths and MCs. Spikes occur more
often toward the end of the storm main phase for HSS/SIR and MC-driven
storms, while sheaths have spikes throughout the entire main phase.
During the main phase most spikes occur in the morning sector around 05
magnetic local time (MLT) and the extent in MLT is narrowest for MCs and
widest for sheaths. However, spikes in the pre-midnight sector during
the main and recovery phases are most prominent for HSS/SIR-driven
storms. During the storm sudden commencement (SSC), three MLT hotspots
exist, the post-midnight at 04 MLT, pre-noon at 09 MLT and afternoon at
15 MLT. The pre-noon hotspot has the highest probability of spikes and
the widest extent in magnetic latitude.
Global warming amplifies outdoor extreme moist heat during the Indian Summer Monsoon
Authors: Ambika Anukesh Krishnankutty , Rajeev Akshay , Huber Matthew
Published: March 2024

Because of the climatological prevalence of hot, humid conditions, moist
heat extremes are a significant challenge to the health and wellbeing of
the people in India. While research has demonstrated the importance of
summer monsoon to moist heat in India, impact of monsoon-break and warm
spells in modulating extreme moist heat regionally has not been fully
investigated. Here we investigate moist heat extremes, as measured by
the Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) metric, specifically during
monsoon and monsoon-break periods and find that they pose a major threat
to physical labor and health relative to other seasons. During the
1951-2020 break period, an increasing trend in areas exposed
(~42.76 million km2), representing at least 670 million
people, were exposed to extreme and detrimental WBGT values
>31°C. Our results imply that future studies on extreme
moist heat must pay close attention to the variation of weather systems
on synoptic to subseasonal time scales that are superimposed on the
seasonal monsoon migration.
Hydrodynamics Matters: Unravelling the Gas Transfer Law for the Energy Dissipation Process in a High-energy Stream
Authors: Niu Zhipan , Zhao Weiyang , Luo Yihan , Prata Ademir , Wang Hang
Published: March 2024

Accurately quantifying air-water gas transfer is pivotal for
understanding carbon cycles and assessing aquatic hypoxia prevalence. In
the energy dissipation process of high-energy streams, gas transfer is
extremely high, but the estimation becomes challenging due to the
instantaneous variability in flow properties. Experiments in a
laboratory open channel flume for a typical energy dissipation process
(hydraulic jump) have been undertaken. The transfer efficiency E for the
hydraulic jump lay between 0.037 to 0.162. These values are 4 to 7 times
larger than those reported in previous studies with comparable layouts
but different scales, highlighting the substantial impact of scale
effects in bubble dynamics on gas transfer. Localized gas transfer
velocities k600 exhibited a range from 340 to 985 m/day, falling within
the order of 100 for estuaries and lowland rivers and comparable to
rapids in a large whitewater river. Paired experiments were conducted to
explicitly resolve the hydrodynamics of the free surface and bubbles.
Subsequently, a mechanistic model was developed by establishing a
relationship between gas transfer and hydrodynamics. The model
physically clarified the gas transfer contribution from free-surface and
bubble-mediated components and elucidated the reasons for gas transfer
heterogeneity for different flows. The results provide insights into gas
transfer estimation on a large scale.

Let R be a commutative ring, S a multiplicative subset of R and M an
R-module. We say that M satisfies weakly S-stationary on ascending chains of
submodules (w-ACCS on submodules or weakly S-Noetherian) if for every
ascending chain M1 ? M2 ? M3 ? ... of submodules of M, there exists k ? N
such that for each n ? k, snMn ? Mk for some sn ? S. In this paper, we
investigate modules (respectively, rings) with w-ACCS on submodules
(respectively, ideals). We prove that if R satisfies w-ACCS on ideals, then
R is a Goldie ring. Also, we prove that a semilocal commutative ring with
w-ACCS on ideals have a finite number of minimal prime ideals. This extended
a classical well known result of Noetherian rings.

Cn : Comp ? Comp preserves the local density and the local weak density of
compact spaces. As a result, criteria for locally separability and locally
weakly separability of compact spaces are obtained.
Some approximation properties of the parametric generalization of Bleimann-Butzer-Hahn operators

Published: March 2024

The present paper deals with a new generalization of Bleimann-Butzer-Hahn
operators that depends on a real non-negative parameter ? and is therefore
called the ?-Bleimann-Butzer-Hahn operators. We examined the uniform
convergence of the newly defined operators with the help of the Korovkin
type approximation theorem. The rate of convergence is investigated by means
of the modulus of continuity and by Lipschitz type maximal functions. A
Voronovskaya type theorem is also obtained and lastly graphical examples are
given in order to illustrate the convergence of the operators to the given
functions.
Certain lie algebraic structures on Riemannian manifolds with semi-symmetric non-metric connection
Authors: Şahin Fulya , Şahin Bayram
Published: March 2024

As a natural consequence of the Levi-Civita connection on a Riemannian
manifold, there is a Lie algebra structure on a Riemannian manifold. Lie
Algebras and Lie Groups are the mathematical structure of continuous
symmetries in physics. In this paper, semi-symmetric non-metric connection
is considered instead of Levi-Civita connection of Riemann manifold, and
accordingly the existence of algebraic structures is investigated. First, it
is shown that there is not always a Lie algebra structure on a Riemannian
manifold with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection. Then, necessary and
sufficient conditions for Lie admissible algebra, pre-Lie algebra and post
Lie algebra on a Riemann manifold with semi-symmetric non-metric connection
are obtained depending on geometric terms. In addition, the cases of the
Riemannian manifold with such algebraic structures according to the
semi-symmetric non-metric connection being Einstein manifold and being flat
manifold have been also investigated.
A best proximity point theorem for C-class-proximal non-self mappings and applications to an integro-differential system of equations

Published: March 2024

In this paper, we propose a best proximity point theorem for a novel class of
non-self-mappings by using the definition of a pair (F , h) of upper class
of type II and the concept of C-class functions. Several consequences
(including the case of self-mappings) of our obtained results are suggested.
We support our obtained results by concrete examples. In the end, we
consider an integro-differential system of equations. We ensure the
existence of an optimal solution, which turns to be an exact solution of the
system when boundary conditions are equal.

The Biomechanical and Functional Status of Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis - A Cross Sectional Study
Authors: A* Thachil
Published: March 2024

Background and Objectives: Knee deformity associated with osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common complications reported to orthopaedic surgeons. Genu valgum and genu varum are the most commonly occurring deformities due to knee osteoarthritis. When there is progression in degeneration due to osteoarthritis, deformities tend to worsen and will eventually lead to reduction in cadence rate, hindfoot angle, range of motion in both hip and knee. Thus, this study is conducted to analyze these parameters like cadence, hindfoot angle, hip internal flexion, knee flexion, WOMAC scale and VAS pain rating scale between the groups of individuals with Genu valgum and genu varum deformity. Methodology: A convenient division was made of a total of 80 knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients into two groups by measuring their medial tibiofemoral angle, namely Genu valgum and genu varum. The patients were evaluated for various parameters including gait cadence, reduced knee flexion, hip internal rotation, hind foot angle, WOMAC scale, and VAS pain scale. The discrepancies in these parameters were analyzed between the Genu valgum and genu varum groups. This study design represents a cross-sectional approach. Results: The Independent t-test was used to examine the results among the groups, with a significance level set at p ≤ 0.05. Considerable statistical changes were observed in cadence, hindfoot angle, knee flexion ROM, and hip internal rotation ROM, with corresponding p-values of 0.0006, 0.049, 0.002, and 0.01, respectively. However, no significant differences were found in the case of the WOMAC scale and VAS pain rating scale between the groups with Genu valgum and genu varum deformities, as their p-values were considerably higher than the significance level (0.169, 0.948). Conclusion: The objective of the study was to gain insight into the biomechanical and functional condition of individuals suffering from knee osteoarthritis. Substantial differences were observed between the groups regarding cadence, hindfoot angle, knee flexion range of motion (ROM), and hip internal rotation ROM. However, when evaluating the WOMAC scale and VAS pain rating scale, both groups exhibited nearly identical values, indicating a lack of statistical significance in these outcome measures.
Eosinophilic Modulation of Neonatal Vaccine Immune Responses in HIV-Exposed Infants
Authors: Obeagu* Emmanuel Ifeanyi
Published: March 2024

The intricate interplay between eosinophils and neonatal vaccine immune responses in HIV-exposed infants has emerged as a captivating avenue of research, offering insights into the multifaceted dynamics of early-life immunity. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the eosinophilic modulation of immune responses following neonatal vaccination in the unique context of HIV exposure. We explore the potential roles of eosinophils in shaping adaptive immunity, influencing vaccine efficacy, and contributing to the delicate balance between tolerance and protective immunity during the critical early stages of life. Additionally, we discuss the implications of maternal HIV infection on eosinophil function and the subsequent impact on neonatal vaccine responses. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature, we aim to provide a foundation for future research directions and the development of tailored immunization strategies for this vulnerable population.

Camel milk is a rich source of a number of bio-active molecules with potential nutraceutical benefits. It has been found that camel milk has the highest source lactoferrin compaired to the milk of other domestic ruminants and that of humans. Lactoferrin is one of the most important bio-active and safe proteins because of its bio-activity against cancers and microbes including: bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Camel lactoferrin has also been reported to be widely distributed in mucosal secretions such as tears, saliva, and bile, and is in highest abundance in milk and colostrum. The lactoferrin found in camel milk and colostrum varies in concentrations from 0.020 mg mL−1 to 7.280 mg mL-1, higher than in cows, goats, sheep, buffaloes and humans and has been frequently reported to to be more resistant to heat and to have a higher antimicrobial activity and other biological values than that of other mammalian species. Its high bioavailability in milk, colostrum and fair costeffectiveness, make it a promising candidate for industrial production for a wider nutrceutical application in the treatment of infectious, metabolic, and neuro-degenerative diseases, including various cancers in humans. This review examines the medicinal benefits of this important biomolecule.

Background: Maternal antibodies that interact with both maternal and fetal platelets cause autoimmune thrombocytopenia. This happens in autoimmune diseases of the mother, such as immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP). Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the treatment and prognosis of newborns whose mothers had ITP. Methods: A multi center prospective study was carried out at the Duhok Obstetrics and Gynaecology Teaching Hospital and Kurdistan Private Hospital in Iraqi Kurdistan between November 2016 and November 2022. The requirements for inclusion were all expectant mothers with verified ITP diagnoses. Every newborn was monitored in the neonatal intensive care unit and had their thrombocytopenia assessed on their first day of life. Maternal age, parity, diagnosis time, history of previous splenectomy, platelet count at delivery and in the early stages of pregnancy, propensity for bleeding throughout pregnancy, treatment for ITP, and method of delivery based on obstetric circumstances were all noted. the baby's gender, gestational age at delivery, the neonatal platelet count at birth, haemorrhage, and thrombocytopenia therapy. Nominal variable statistics were expressed. Results: 25 neonates delivered by pregnant mothers with ITP during the trial period were all included in the analysis. The ITP patients' mothers were between 23 and 33 years old. There were 14 (56%) multigravida cases and 11 (44%) primigravida cases. Prior to three years of pregnancy, just one (4%) instance had a history of splenectomy. The mother's platelet count at delivery was less than 50 × 109/L in 7 (28%) cases. Thirteen (52%), utilised corticosteroids. Ten (40%) of the deliveries were caesarean sections. Two (8%) cases had gestational ages between 33 and 36.6 weeks, whereas 23 (92% of cases) had gestational ages between 37 and 38 weeks. In 12 (48%) cases, the birth weight ranged from 1200 to 2500 kg, whereas in the other cases, it was between 250 and 3300) kg in 13(52%) cases the new-born baby's gender was male. Twelve (48%) of the newborns had thrombocytopenia. Just three cases (about 25%) needed medical attention. Conclusion: Pregnancy counselling is necessary for a woman with a history of ITP in order to maximise her platelet count. While serious bleeding is uncommon in neonates with maternal ITP. Corticosteroids are an effective therapeutic option for both the mother and the new-born

El aprendizaje basado en proyectos es una estrategia metodológica que implementa tareas sustentadas en la resolución de problemas a través de un proceso de investigación o creación por parte de los estudiantes, quienes trabajan con relativa autonomía, alto nivel de implicación y cooperación para procurar conseguir un producto. Por ende, esta investigación tiene como objetivo determinar el impacto del aprendizaje basado en proyectos en una carrera de ingeniería de software. En concreto, se realizó un experimento donde se aplicaron tres proyectos de desarrollo de software a tres grupos diferentes, para lo cual se monitoreó el desempeño de ellos y se analizó el conocimiento técnico, metodológico y organizacional de cada uno para medir el impacto en su desempeño académico. Los resultados muestran diferentes niveles de organización y capacidades entre los grupos para cumplir con el proyecto en los tiempos establecidos.
