Organochlorine pesticide and polychlorinated biphenyl loads in the snow cover of Hans glacier, Svalbard
Authors: Pawlak Filip , Koziol Krystyna , Ruman Marek , Polkowska Zaneta
Published: September 2022

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), such as organochlorine pesticides or polychlorinated biphenyls, are continuously delivered into the Arctic terrestrial environment, i.a. through snowfall (e.g., Cabrerizo et al., 2019; Hermanson et al., 2020). This happens despite the bans and restrictions on the use of these bioaccumulative substances (Stockholm Convention, 2008) and may lead to a secondary accumulation of contaminants in some glaciers in the Arctic continuing in the future (Pawlak et al., 2021). Upon melt, POPs are released with particulate matter and delivered to downstream ecosystems. However, the current deposition fluxes of POPs on glaciers are only sparsely recognized, which leads to uncertainties in these contaminants' snowmelt fluxes. In this study, we present a combination of spatially distributed sampling of fresh snowfall with total snow cover profiles upon Hans glacier (Svalbard, Norwegian Arctic) and the existing data on the snow cover (courtesy Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences) to estimate such fluxes for a seasonal snow cover of a tidewater glacier. Uncertainties related to the snow cover water equivalent estimations and the spatial variation in POPs concentrations are estimated and presented as obstacles to robustness of such studies. As a result, we provide data for future field measurement design which would decrease uncertainties in such estimations.

Enhancing knowledge sharing and building capacity for water resources management: Insights from Southern Africa
Authors: Kileshye-Onema Jean-Marie , Makurira Hodson , Kgabi Nnenesi
Published: September 2022

Over the past 21 years, WaterNet, a regional network that harnesses the complementary strengths of its 79 Members institutions,  has been assisting the water sector in the Southern Africa region to unlock its potential and provide capacity building in (i) graduate education, (ii)  collaborative research, (iii) continuous professional development, (iv) knowledge management and outreach. This paper provides insights, lessons learnt and reflections on future direction to be considered in rolling out of this regional initiative on capacity building with a focus on education, knowledge sharing and outreach for the water sector. WaterNet evolved from a project concept into a fully registered entity and SADC subsidiary institution for human and institutional capacity development for water resources management.  This regional initiative has been implemented through 5-year phases informed by strategies that are aligned with SADC Regional Strategic Action Plans, African Agenda (E.g. 2063) and global directions such as the Millennium Development Goals and the Sustainable Development Goals. WaterNet has grown to be accepted as a leader in capacity development for the water sector in the region, through its IWRM Masters programme that was jointly delivered by seven regional universities up to December 2021. The earlier phases largely relied on external expertise, the latter phases saw more and more trainers and teachers being sourced from the Network and region. The Network itself has gained knowledge and experience to develop, update and implement various aspects of the capacity building programme, and several universities have developed or have initiated the development of their own fully fledged Masters programme in IWRM. Research efforts from MSc and PhD work has yielded more than 500 publications which have attracted international audience. The WaterNet next phase (Phase V, 2022-2026) will further emphasised on outreach beyond the academic community. Emphasis will also be placed on sustainability of the network and research outputs that have impact on communities and will incorporate climate change, systemic thinking and innovation.

Impact des changements climatiques sur les ressources en eau : Cas du bassin de l’Oued El Harrach amont 
Authors: Taibi Sabrina , Zeroual Ayoub , Khettab Nawel
Published: September 2022

Ce travail vise à évaluer les effets potentiels des changements climatiques sur le bassin versant de l’Oued el Harrach-amont qui fait partie du grand bassin côtier Algérois 02A. Les projections climatiques du modèle régional RCA4 (Rossby Centre Atmosphere model, version 4) ont été utilisées pour réaliser les simulations hydrologiques issues du modèle hydrologique conceptuel GR2M au cours de  deux périodes future (2045-2070 et 2075-2100). Le modèle RCA4 est forcé par deux modèles de circulation globale (MPI-ESM-LR et CNRM-CM5) sous deux scenarios de forçages radiatifs "Representative Concentration Pathways" (RCPs) RCP4.5 et RCP 8.5.  Afin d’améliorer les simulations futures, les méthodes de correction de biais « basic-quantile»  et « gamma mapping » ont été utilisées. Les résultats de simulation obtenus selon le scénario RCP 4.5 à l’horizon 2070, montrent une augmentation de 1°C des températures accompagnée d’une réduction des pluies de 32,41%. Le scénario RCP8.5  indique quant à lui une augmentation d’environ  3,3°C des températures ainsi q’une baisse d’environ  44% des précipitations d’ici la fin de ce siècle. L’impact de ces changements sur les écoulements est plus important en hiver  qui se traduit par une baisse de 44,26% l’horizon 2070 et de 66,96% à l’horizon 2100 selon le RCP8.5.

L’augmentation de la population, l’évolution des besoins en eau de l’irrigation de la plaine de la Mitidja centre ainsi que la surexploitation de la nappe souterraine accompagnée par une diminution des ressources en eau au niveau de la zone d’études va constituer probablement une contrainte pour subvenir à tous ces besoins. A cet effet, les résultats de cette étude peuvent contribuer à la mise en place d’un outil de planification et de gestion des ressources en eau pour faire face à l’impact des changements climatiques futures et prendre des mesures d’adaptation pour maintenir la durabilité des ressources en eau.

Analysis of the changes in landcover, streamflow, and sediment yield in Kasai catchment of the Congo River Basin
Authors: Tshitende Eric Kakanda , Kileshye Onema Jean Marie , Gumindoga Webster , Tshimanga Raphael
Published: September 2022

The Kasai catchment is experiencing poor landuse planning and sediment deposition, thus impacting streamflow. The landuse and landcover change (LULCC) from 2000 to 2020 were estimated using GIS and RS methods.  The results revealed that bare areas, built-up areas, cropland, flooded vegetation, grassland, open water, and shrub cover areas increased by 0.06%, 0.5%, 0.8%, 16.9%, 1.9%, and 78.6%, respectively, whereas tree cover areas decreased by 0.5%. The observed flows and sediments were used to calibrate the SWAT plus. The performance indices for SWAT plus in flow simulation indicated that R2, NSE, and PBIAS were 0.94, 0.87, and 0.55, respectively. Validation results showed R2, NSE, and PBIAS values of 0.83, 0.67, and 2.6, respectively. Performance indices for SWAT plus in sediment simulation revealed that R2, NSE, and PBIAS were correspondingly 0.81, 0.66, and 7.1. Validation results were 0.8 (R2), 0.66 (NSE), and -1.3 (PBIAS). QSWAT plus post-processing was utilised to estimate the monthly environmental flow. The results ranged from 83.04 m3/s to 10079.97 m3/s. The impact LULCC on the streamflow and sediment yield was assessed by running the model with different landcover maps while other variables were maintained constant. The results showed that there was a decrease in total flow by 2.6 % and an increase in suspended sediment yield by 87.3%, an increase in flow by 0.66 % and a decrease in suspended sediment by 36%, a decrease in total flow by 0.09 % and an increase in suspended sediment by 12.09 % which correspondingly to landuse and landcover of 2000 to 2005, 2005-2009, and 2000 to 2020.

Prediction of water level variations in aquifers using recurrent and convolutional neural networks
Authors: Duran Lea , Mouni Rida , Duperron Valentin , Maisonnasse Loïc , Artigue Guillaume , Pistre Séverin , Johannet Anne
Published: September 2022

The use of artificial intelligence models to simulate and forecast groundwater has become more and more popular since the early 1990ies. These models able to forecast groundwater levels are increasingly being used to support decision making for water resources management and climate change impact local assessments. This study presents a comparison of different algorithms to simulate and forecast the piezometry of the Astian sands aquifer in the Occitanie region (France) at sub seasonal to seasonal scales. The aim is to set up a transferable methodology allowing quick implementation on different aquifers, to lay the foundations for a tool for water resources management focusing on droughts.

Different models were tested in this study with prediction horizons from a few weeks and up to the hydrological year. Models used include (1) Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP), (2) recurrent models such as Long short-term memory models, Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), Non-Linear Regressive Neural Networks (NARX), Dual Stage Attention Based Recurrent Networks (DA-RNN); (3) a Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN); (4) a Reservoir Computing Network (Echo State Network). Pre-processing methods were tested to increase performance and attempt to better reproduce higher frequencies, especially the Ensemble Empirical Modal Decomposition (EEMD). Input variables were the daily rainfall data, temperature data and piezometry. To validate the model and assess the performance of the simulations, different metrics were used (Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency, Kling Gupta Efficiency, Coefficient of persistency). The loss function was a combination of RMSE and NSE, the optimizer used was Adam, the training was done on two thirds of the time series and validation and testing on the remaining data.

Several models achieved high performances: DA-RNN, the GRU, MLP and NARX (NSE>0.91 and Cp>0.6 at 20 days). Predictions were carried out iteratively with a 20-days window, reinjecting the predicted data and re-training the model (adaptative model) until a prediction of more than 400 days was reached (using observed rainfall and temperature). The stability and robustness of the model is further investigated through additional cross validation, estimation of confidence intervals, and simulations in different hydrogeological contexts, to aim toward a transferable tool for various aquifers.
Capacitating Development @Cauvery Delta #joint- groundwater learning through science-policy-user interactions
Authors: Verzijl Andres , Srinivasan Veena
Published: September 2022

In this paper we explore the relation – discrepancies and correlations – between surface & groundwater practices in the Cauvery delta, to (re)connect science, policy makers and grassroots initiatives that aim for sustainable delta futures. Key is the fluid relationship between rain, run-off and water in the ground, which has been: 1) overshadowed by a prevalent surface water thinking long performed by state agencies, and 2) outflanked by a contemporary reality of overpumping groundwater. The role of knowledge (data) and tools such as models, provided by science and relied upon by policymakers, have in this context been incomplete and contested. With an inability to deal with contemporary challenges (by state agencies), communities are left to respond (and are looked at to fill the gaps). New developments in citizen science and remote sensing democratise data and offer new pathways. What is needed is a situated science – one that accounts for how science is done and how it informs policy and practice (and how it can be informed by practice). We use the development of our own surface-groundwater model – initially at odds with farmers perceptions and experiences – as a case in point

 
How are snowmelt rates actually changing across the Northern Hemisphere?
Authors: Fontrodona-Bach Adrià , Larsen Joshua , Woods Ross , Schaefli Bettina , Teuling Ryan
Published: September 2022

There is strong evidence that rising temperatures lead to less snow accumulation and to an earlier start of the melt season. This has an effect on the magnitude and timing of streamflow generated by snowmelt in spring. Higher temperatures should intuitively lead to faster snowmelt, but some studies suggest that melt rates might be slower in a warming world because the melt onset occurs earlier in the year when less energy is available for melt. Understanding of these changing snow dynamics is challenged by a lack of observations on water content of the snowpack, the Snow Water Equivalent (SWE). However, high quality observations of snow depth are generally more available in both space and time, even at higher elevations. Here we gather several datasets of long-term observed snow depth time series over the Northern Hemisphere, and convert them to SWE. We then investigate changes in total snowmelt, timing of snowmelt and melt rates for the period 1980-2020 over a ranger of climates and regions. Large decreases in total melt and earlier melt timing are widely observed. However, trends in snowmelt rates are generally weak and spatially inhomogeneous. Slower snowmelt in a warmer world occurs mostly on deep snowpacks that have been heavily depleted, but faster melt or no significant change in melt rate are observed too. We provide an analysis of the causes for the spatial and temporal variability in trends. We find that changes and trends can differ depending on the definition of melt rate and peak SWE. Strong warming generates large melt events during the late accumulation season, challenging the commonly used definition of peak SWE and making it harder to compare the snowmelt dynamics of the past and the current climate. We highlight that focusing only on melt rate change might mask important effects on melt timing and magnitude, because a proportional reduction in total melt and number of melt days can lead to no change in melt rate.

Abstract. In 2012, Italy was struck by a seismic crisis characterized by two main shocks (ML 5.9 and 5.8) and relevant liquefaction events. Terre del Reno (Emilia-Romagna Region) is one of the municipalities that experienced the most extensive liquefaction effects due to its complex geo-stratigraphic and geo-morphological setting. Thus, it was chosen as case study for the PERL project, devoted to defining a new integrated methodology to assess the liquefaction susceptibility in complex stratigraphic conditions through a multi-level approach. About 1800 geotechnical, geophysical and hydrogeological investigations were collected and stored in a publicly available dataset named PERL that is here presented.

Published: September 2022

Prevalensi perokok di provinsi Lampung tahun 2013 berada pada urutan ke-7 dari 33 provinsi yang ada di Indonesia. Dimana jumlah perokok tiap harinya sebanyak 26,5% di mana posisi ini di atas posisi rata - rata perokok Indonesia yaitu 24,3% Sementara untuk perokok pada usia 10 - 15 tahun, Lampung terletak pada urutan ke-13 dengan persentase sebanyak 12,1 % dimana posisi ini hampir mendekati persentasi rata rata yaitu sebesar 12,3 %. Perilaku tidak  merokok masyarakat di wilayah kerja Dinas Kesehatan Kota Bandar Lampung tahun 2021 yaitu 62,86% dengan target 80%. Tujuan pengabdian ini untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan pengetahuan remaja terkaitan bahaya dan dampak merokok dengan menggunakan media leaflet sehingga dalam hal ini dapat berupaya dalam penurunan angka prilaku merokok masyarakat khusus nya remeja di wilayah kerja Dinas Kesehatan Kota Bandar Lampung tahun 2021. Kegiatan pengabdian ini menggunakan metode edukasi dengan menggunakan media leafleat kepada lima belas  yang berstatus sebagai pelajar di kota Bandar Lampung . Berdasarkan dari hasil wawancara yang dilakukan dengan pemegang program PHBS, “perilaku merokok masih tinggi dikarenakan sejak mewabahnya virus covid-19 pada tahun 2020 – 2021 di Indonesia, khususnya di Kota Bandar Lampung. Maka semua kegiatan yang berhubungan dengan Upaya Berhenti Merokok (UBM) di Kota Bandar Lampung tidak dilaksanakan berkaitan dengan kebijakan Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat (PPKM) yang membatasi kegiatan belajar mengajar di sekolah. Selain itu, masyarakat yang  ingin mengakses layanan kesehatan di puskesmas mengalami penurunan yang signifikan terutama yang ingin konsultasi berhenti merokok”. Sehingga dalam hal ini penulis menentukan satu prioritas masalah terpilih dalam upaya peningkatan pemahaman dan pengetahuan masyarakat khususnya remaja dalam menekan angka perilaku merokok di wilayah kerja Dinas Kesehatan Kota Bandar Lampung yaitu  dengan mendesain leafleat terkait terkait bahaya dan dampak merokok bagi remaja. Diharapkan pemegang program pemegang program PHBS perilaku merokok dapat terus berupaya dalam memberikan edukasi secara berkala kepada remaja  di Kota Bandar Lampung.

KEPERANTARAAN (WASATHAH) DAN PENERAPAN AKAD YANG TERJADI DI DALAMNYA
Authors: Nurjaman Muhamad Izazi , Arzam Arzam , Witro Doli
Published: September 2022

This article is motivated by the rapid development of the intermediary business which is very much needed in the marketing mechanism. Intermediary in sharia economic law includes new contracts. However, in practice the use of intermediary contracts is schemed in other forms of contracts, such as in the DSN-MUI fatwa on intermediary. Therefore, this article will reveal the intermediary and application of the contract that occurs in it. This article is a study of sharia economic law by taking into account the fiqh of muamalah maliyyah as an analytical lens. Sources of data obtained in the form of primary data sources in the form of DSN-MUI fatwa and secondary data in the form of various scientific literature in the form of books and scientific journals. By using a normative juridical approach that is presented through a descriptive literature method, this study finds the fact that the application of intermediary contracts (wasathah) in sharia economic law can be discussed in wakalah bi al-ujrah, ju’alah and bai’ al-samsarah contracts. So that the use of one of these contracts will affect the mechanism for implementing the contract and the benefits obtained by the wasit party, namely in the form of ujrah from the wakalah bi al-ujrah contract, ju’l from the ju’alah contract and the margin from the excess of the bai’ al-samsarah contract. This shows that the wasathah contract is a contract scheme that adapts to the practices and needs of the community for intermediary services. The implementation of these contracts provides legal certainty in their implementation in accordance with sharia economic principles.

No doubt, the calendars occupy very prominent status in man’s life. These can be based on their nature and needs. Different nations of the world have started their calendars with the most important event, accident, the death of an elderly esteemed person, an excellent deed of a national hero, flood, war or the beginning of a king's throne. In fact, the timing of events in the universe was an indispensable process; different calendars were set up in this regard. When the history spreads to the earliest times, the calendars summarize those times in a table. These include solar, lunar rotations and Hijri calendar along with   their effects on human life. This article will highlight the beginning background, importance and effects of the Hijri calendar.

Published: September 2022

Islam has a comprehensive system to minimize the poverty in the society. Zakat is one of the most important pillars of Islamic economic system, in one hand it purify the wealth of the affluent of the society while on the other hand it gives an opportunity to the underprivileged  to fulfil his desires. In modern day society, it is suggested that instead of payment of individual zakat, the zakat shall be collected by the government and it should be invested by the government in profitable sharia complaint ventures and only profit of the venture will distributed among the needy people or it should be made permanent source of income for the needy people by establishing a venture or industry from zakat pool. In this paper, zakat, the philosophy of zakat and its conditions among jurist is discussed in detail and the issue of investment of zakat is also examined by collecting views of classical as well as modern jurist. Study shows that zakat may not be allowed to be invested for long term. However sharia compliant saving of surplus amount is acceptable.

Published: September 2022

No doubt, Women have been playing a prominent role in the survival of the human race and also taking special care of their education and training. Hence, their domestic role cannot be denied as it determines the status of the women and introduces the means of their welfare. But, our social life seems to be a victim of class division, so each class has its own social status and in this perspective, the welfare of women must be taken care. They are asked about the fulfillment of obligations while their rights of welfare are totally ignored. Therefore, in these circumstances, the welfare of these helpless women (which do not have access to a home) is much needed so that their basic necessities of life can be met in the society. They should also be respected and honored so that they can also lead a dignified social life. This research paper will examine the practical modalities of the welfare of these helpless women along with the social and governmental role in it. A comprehensive and practical strategy could be formulated for them according to the Islamic teachings.

Neste trabalho foi realizada a estimativa dos coeficientes de atividade do sistema binário 2-metiltetrahidrofurano e ácido acético através dos modelos de Wilson e NRTL para dados experimentais de equilíbrio líquido-vapor disponíveis na literatura. Esses modelos matemáticos são baseados na energia de Gibbs molar em excesso, como uma função da fração molar de líquido através da qual a relação do coeficiente de atividade é calculada para cada componente do sistema. A fim de avaliar o desempenho dos modelos utilizados, foi calculado a volatilidade relativa e o coeficiente de atividade em função da fração molar a partir dos modelos Wilson e NRTL e comparados com os dados experimentais encontrados na literatura. Os parâmetros de Wilson e NRTL foram determinados a partir de um ajuste não linear no software Wolfram Mathematica, os resultados encontrados para os respectivos modelos foram apresentados graficamente e comparados com os resultados da literatura simulados através do programa Aspen HYSYS.

Background: The coupled renal arteries typically supply the kidneys, which are retroperitoneal organs. However, there are frequent changes in the way that the renal arteries and their perihilar branches are presented. Aim: The aim of the current research is to evaluate the occurrence of various renal arteries and give a medical association between them. Materials and Methods: The research material consisted of 30 formalin-fixed cadavers.  While performing a regular abdominal dissection, the kidneys and their arteries were examined, and the morphological differences in the renal arteries were observed. Result: In 54.8% of the patients, numerous renal arteries were seen to arise from the abdominal aorta, including double hilar arteries (22.7%), triple hilar arteries (11.9%), superior polar and inferior polar arteries (13.2%), and numerous hilar and polar arteries (7.2%). Conclusion: For angiographic tests, kidney transplantation, and urological or radiological operations, understanding the renal vasculature, including its regular as well as variational structure, is essential. This information also makes embolization and angioplasties possible.clinical

Objectives: Aim of this study was determining the relationship between burden of care and fear of disease progression in mothers of children with cystic fibrosis. Methodology: 142 mothers of children with cystic fibrosis (CF) participated in this correlational study. Data were collected with sequential method. The researchers employed the self-report Zarit burden of care and fear of disease progression questionnaire in parents of children with CF. Mothers answered the questioners separately.  Data were analyzed with statistical analysis of variance and independent t-test. Results: According to the results, the mean maternal burden of care was 34.12 ± 69.77, and the mean fear of disease progression was 32.12 ± 92.11. The burden of care had the highest regression effect on fear of disease progression in mothers of children with CF (β = 0.896). With an increase of one unit of standard deviation in the burden of care, an increase of 0.896 units occurred in fear of disease progression in parents of children with CF. Conclusion: Mothers of children with CF experience a moderate burden of care and fear of disease progression. An increase in the burden of care and psychological stress increases the fear of disease progression in these mothers.

Field experiment was conducted during the two growing seasons of 2019 and 2021, at Dokki region, El-Giza Governorate, Egypt, in order to investigate the effect of deficit irrigation (DI) treatments: 100% (control), 70% and 50% of ETo (Reference evapotranspiration) and two irrigation systems: Surface drip irrigation (SDI) and Subsurface irrigation (SSI)porous pipe (20.0cm soil depth) on vegetative growth, chemical constituents, fruit yield and quality of eggplant plants (Cultivars : “Classic”  “Swad Eleil”). Results revealed that, DI treatments significantly decreased the vegetative growth, total yield ,marketable yield, leaf relative water content (LRWC) and membrane stability index (MSI) of eggplant plants, compared to control treatment (100% ETₒ). While, water stress treatments improved leaves proline content, alkaloids and irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE). Using SSI (porous pipe) system significantly increased plant height, fresh weight, total yield, marketable fruit yield of eggplant, LRWC and MSI, “Classic” cv had the highest total yield and total marketable yield under the subsurface irrigation system compared to “Swad El-Layl”cv. Regarding, the effect of interaction between DI treatments and irrigation systems, the results illustrated that application of irrigation water with 100% ET0 by SSI system produced the highest significant values of vegetative growth, fruit yield.

Thyroid disorders are the most common endocrine disorders worldwide. PDE8B is strongly expressed in the thyroid and to a lower extent in the pituitary and hypothalamus. PDE8B gene affects the synthesis of T3 and T4 and regulates the release of TSH by the pituitary gland. Therefore, PDE8B single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs 6885099 and rs2046045 play a crucial part in the incidence of thyroid disorders, but the existing data is insufficient and contradictory. Materials & Methods. Meta-analysis was carried out to assess the relationship between PDE8B SNP’s rs 6885099 and rs 2046045 and thyroid diseases. The present meta-analysis included 9 distinct studies from January 2005 to 2021 accessible at PubMed, Embase and Google scholar. The funnel plot was used to assess the publication bias. Meta Essentials 1.5 software was employed for statistical data analysis. Q test was used to calculate heterogeneity between the studies. The heterogeneity-related variation was calculated by I2. The association between PDE8B polymorphism and thyroid diseases was analysed by fixed and random effect models.
Calidad del agua en fuentes usadas para consumo humano en 14 comunidades del El Viejo, Chinandega, Nicaragua, 2020
Authors: Aguirre César
Published: September 2022

En el pais la contaminación relacionada con actividades socioeconomoicas y procesos naturales, afecta la calidad del agua de consumo humano. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la calidad del agua en fuentes empleadas para el uso doméstico en comunidades del municipio El Viejo, con el proposito de generar recomendaciones que contribuyan a reducir el riesgo de enfermedades de origen hídrico. En 2020 se realizó el estudio en 14 comunidades de El Viejo, como parte del convenio de colaboración entre la Universidad Nacional Agraria y la Agencia Católica Irlandesa para el Desarrollo (Trocaire). El estudio de carácter cualitativo evaluó la calidad del agua para consumo humano, utilizando 10 parámetros físico-químicos (mediante cintas indicadoras y multímetro HACH) y dos microbiológicos (utilizando Phatoscreen y Readycult Coliforms) en 12 pozos perforados que abastecen miniacueductos y ocho pozos excavados a mano para uso familiar o comunitario. Las fuentes estudiadas abastecen a 1 496 familias (5 760 personas). Los valores obtenidos de los parámetros físico – químicos indican que el agua de la mayoría de las fuentes es aceptable para el consumo, según las Normas de calidad del agua para consumo humano (Norma regional CAPRE) y las Guias para lacalidad del agua de consumo humano de la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Sin embargo, para reducir altos valores de dureza y salinidad en algunos pozos se sugiere realizar tratamiento al agua destinada al cosumo. Desde el punto de vista de la calidad biológica, entre el 75 % (muestreo de julio) y el 85 % de las fuentes (muestreo de noviembre), el consumo de agua representaba riesgo para la salud debido a la contaminación con bacterias del grupo coliformes y/o Escherichia coli, causantes de enfermedades diarreicas. La presencia de fosfato, amonio y/o nitrato en varias de las fuentes muestra una tendencia de contaminación por residuos orgánicos e inorgánicos, arrastrados por el agua de áreas aledañas. Los resultados sugieren la necesidad de elaborar el Plan de Seguridad del Agua para cada fuente, a fin de garantizar la aplicación de buenas prácticas de abastecimiento de agua de consumo humano.

Contexto: la semaglutida ha mostrado beneficios renales en estudios previos, sin embargo, su eficacia y su seguridad en pacientes con enfermedad renal diabética en población latinoamericana ha sido escasamente estudiada.
Objetivo: detallar los resultados clínicos y evaluar la eficacia y la seguridad glucémica y renal de la semaglutida en pacientes con ERD durante seis meses de seguimiento.
Metodología: estudio observacional retrospectivo en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) y compromiso renal, con hemoglobina glicada (HbA1c) entre 7,5 y 10?%, tratados con semaglutida subcutánea durante seis meses.
Resultados: 30 pacientes de edades entre 63 y 75 años, donde el 60?% eran mujeres. Duración de DM2: 10 años, la HbA1c basal promedio fue de 8,3?% (7,5-10?%), relación albuminuria/creatinuria en orina ocasional (RAC) 76,6 mg/g (8,8-670 mg/g), creatinina 1,5 mg/dl (0,85-1,87 mg/dl), tasa de filtración glomerular estimada (TFGe) 43,5 ml/min (28,0-94.0 ml/min). Se encontró una significancia estadística en la disminución de la HbA1c con mediana a los tres meses de 7,2?% (RIC: 6,5-7,9) y a los seis meses de 6,8?% (RIC: 6,3-7,4).
En el análisis de subgrupos, en pacientes con albuminuria A3, el promedio fue igual a 816 mg/g (612-1670 mg/g) y se evidenció una disminución estadísticamente significativa con mediana a los tres meses de 754 mg/g (RIC: 514-1450 mg/g) y a los seis meses de 310 mg/g (RIC: 258-340 mg/g), p = 0,0060. No se obtuvieron resultados estadísticamente significativos en cuanto a la mejoría de la presión arterial (PA), el peso y el control de lípidos.
Conclusiones: en la práctica clínica de la vida real, la semaglutida demostró ser un fármaco eficaz y seguro para el adecuado control glicémico de los pacientes con enfermedad renal diabética, demostrando también una reducción de albuminuria en pacientes con categoría A3.
