Esclerosis Tuberosa: patogénesis molecular y modelos animales
Authors: Piedimonte Leandro
Published: May 2024

Mutaciones en uno de dos genes, TSC1 o TSC2, dan como resultado una enfermedad de similar fenotipo al interrumpir la interacción normal de sus productos proteicos, hamartina y tuberina, los cuales forman un complejo funcional de señales intracelulares. La disrupción de estos genes en el cerebro da resultado a diferenciación, proliferación, y migración celular anormal, dando origen a las lesiones cerebrales características del complejo de esclerosis tuberosa llamadas, tuberosidades corticales. Las complicaciones más devastadoras del complejo de la esclerosis tuberosa afectan al sistema nervioso central e incluyen epilepsia, retardo mental, autismo, y tumores gliales. Modelos animales relevantes, como los ratones knocked out son herramientas valiosas para el estudio de las funciones normales de la hamartina y la tuberina y de cómo la disrupción de su expresión da origen a la variedad de rasgos clínicos que caracterizan al complejo de esclerosis tuberosa. En el futuro, estos animales van a ser modelos preclínicos muy valiosos para el desarrollo de tratamientos altamente específicos y eficaces para los chicos afectados con el complejo de esclerosis tuberosa.

Authors: Onchwari Benard Agwata , Miroga Julius
Published: May 2024

Purpose: General objective of the study was to explore the financial crises and economic downturn of commercial banks in North Rift Region in Kenya. The study specifically sought to establish the effects of interest rates crisis, currency crisis, corporate debt crisis and liquidity crisis on economic downturns of commercial banks in North Rift Region in Kenya. The study was anchored on Credit Crunch Theory, the Debt Overhang Theory, the Liquidity Preference Theory and the Credit cycle Theory.
Methodology: A descriptive survey design was adopted. The study population consisted of all the 44 commercial banks in the North rift region in Kenya and in each commercial bank, branch managers were also targeted who gave a clear overview of financial crises and how it affected the economic downturns of their respective banks. Purposive sampling was employed to select the 44 branch managers. The primary data was collected by using a questionnaire that was pretested for reliability and validity. The study also analyzed the data using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics including percentages, frequencies, means and standard deviations were adopted in analyzing the data. Linear Regression analysis and correlation analysis as the inferential statistics were used to show the relationship that existed between the variables. The findings were then presented using tables.
Findings: The study findings indicated that interest rates crisis had a significant negative effect on the economic downturns of commercial banks (p = 0.027, <0.05). The findings also indicated that currency crisis had a significant negative effect on the economic downturns of commercial banks with p = 0.033, <0.05. corporate debt crisis had a significant negative effect on the economic downturns of commercial banks (p = 0.015, <0.05). Liquidity crisis had a significant negative effect on economic downturns of commercial banks where the regression model also indicated that p = 0.002, <0.05. The study concluded that interest rates crisis, currency crisis, corporate debt crisis and liquidity crisis had a negative effect on the economic downturns of commercial banks.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommends that the commercial banks should develop products with flexible interest rates to cater to borrowers during periods of high interest rates. The management should consider offering fixed-rate loans for a limited term to provide some stability to businesses. The policy makers such as the Central Bank of Kenya should implement measures to stabilize the national currency and promote foreign investment during crises.

Published: May 2024

Nowadays, disease prevalence estimation is a significant concern, with heart disease being one of the most common ailments. Unfortunately, the treatment of such diseases can be costly, often beyond the means of the average individual. However, we can mitigate this issue to some extent by accurately estimating disease prevalence before it reaches dangerous levels, using techniques such as Machine Learning and Data Mining.
In the healthcare biomedical field, there's a vast amount of health data available, ranging from text to images. However, much of this data remains unexplored and unmined. Introducing a Disease Prevalence Estimation System could address this gap. Such a system would not only help in reducing costs but also enhance the quality of treatment for patients.
Machine Learning and Data Mining techniques can be employed to construct this Disease Prevalence Estimation System. By analyzing patient profiles including factors like blood pressure, age, sex, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels, the system can predict the likelihood of individuals developing various health issues.
Furthermore, the system can identify complex problems and make intelligent medical decisions, thereby improving overall healthcare outcomes. Performance evaluation can be done using metrics such as the confusion matrix, allowing for the calculation of accuracy, precision, and recall.
In conclusion, a Disease Prevalence Estimation System has the potential to offer high performance and better accuracy, thus significantly contributing to the early detection and management of various diseases

UNDERUTILIZATION OF ISCHIAL-CONTAINING SOCKETS IN PROSTHETIC REHABILITATION SERVICES AT MULAGO ORTHOPAEDIC WORKSHOPS IN KAMPALA UGANDA.
Authors: Wopotela David Kisombo
Published: May 2024

Prosthetic rehabilitation services play a pivotal role in restoring mobility and improving the quality of life for individuals with lower limb amputations. However, despite advancements in prosthetic technology, there exists an underutilization of ischial-containing sockets in Orthopaedic Workshops at Mulago in Kampala Uganda. This comprehensive document examines the reasons behind this phenomenon, evaluates the benefits of ischial-containing sockets, and proposes strategies to enhance their adoption in prosthetic rehabilitation services at Mulago Orthopaedic workshops in Kampala Uganda. Lower limb amputations pose significant challenges to individuals, impacting their mobility, independence, and overall well-being. Prosthetic rehabilitation services aim to address these challenges by providing customized prosthetic devices tailored to the individual's needs. Ischial-containing sockets, characterized by their close fit and weight-bearing properties, offer numerous advantages over traditional sockets. However, these sockets remain underutilized in prosthetic rehabilitation services offered at Mulago Orthopaedic workshops in Kampala Uganda. This manuscript seeks to explore the factors contributing to this underutilization and propose recommendations for promoting the adoption of ischial-containing sockets.
La post-perestroika en el bloque socialista y su repercusión en nuestro tercer mundo
Authors: Ibisate Francisco Javier
Published: May 2024

La secuencia de convulsiones político-sociales en los países socialistas del este europeo se están interpretando como un fracaso de las economías planificadas y como un retorno a la casa paterna del mercado. Esta interpretación es superficial e incorrecta. No es la planificación lo que está en crisis, puesto que las familias, las empresas y los gobiernos tienen que planificar. La raíz de la crisis en los socialismos reales es doble. En primer lugar, una oligarquía política, nomenclatura minoritaria o partido único se sirvió del mecanismo de la planificación central para concentrar todo el poder político, económico, ideológico y cultural, privando a los ciudadanos de la más elemental libertad política, económica e ideológica (Perestroika). En segundo lugar, esa oligarquía política opuso la mayor resistencia a los repetidos intentos de desconcentración y descentralización del modelo centralmente planificado -inicialmente necesario y posteriormente regresivo- en orden a mantenerse en el pleno poder. Las convulsiones han sido eminentemente políticas e indirectamente económicas: el sistema parlamentario pluripartidista. La misma problemática la encontramos en nuestras economías, donde la simbiosis de poder económico y político utiliza el mecanismo del mercado para mantenerse en el poder, sostenido por ideologías y dogmatismos que privan de toda libertad y participación a la mayoría del pueblo. De esta manera en nombre de la perestroika hacemos anti perestroika. Por añadidura, si el este camina hacia el oeste y el oeste se dirige hacia el este, ¿quién atenderá a los problemas del tercer mundo.

CONTEMPORARY CRITIQUES ON SYAḤRÛR’S METHODOLOGY TO QUR’ANIC STUDIES
Authors: Fata Badrus Samsul , Mun'im A Rafik Zainul
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Melalui al-Kitâb wa al-Qur’ân Qira’âh Mu’âṣirah, Syaḥrûr mengajukan kerangka metodologi studi al-Qur’an yang mengundang banyak kontroversial, sebab menggabungkan pendekatan linguistik klasik non-mainstream dengan pendekatan linguistik Barat modern. Artikel ini mengulik pendekatan historis-ilmiah (al-manhaj al-târîkhi al-’ilmî), tokoh linguistik modern yang mempengaruhinya, sekaligus kritik akademis dari para sarjana al-Qur’an kontemporer atasnya. Melalui pendekatan historis ilmiah dengan basis teori anti sinonimitas (lâ tarâdufa fî al-kalimah), Syaḥrûr mengklaim mampu menawarkan kebaruan dalam reinterpretasi al-Qur’an. Akan tetapi, para kritikus justru menilai kerangka metodologi Syaḥrûr telah menyalahi konsensus dan bahkan secara keliru memahami teori-teori linguistik, khususnya teori anti-sinonimitas (lâ tarâdufa fî al-kalimah), yang dianggit para linguistik Arab klasik semisal Ibnu al-A‘rabî (w. 231H), Abû al-‘Abbâs Ṣa’lab (w. 291 H), Abu Bakar al-Anbârî (w. 328H), Ibnu Fâris (395H), Abû Hilâl al-‘Askarî (w. 395H), Abû ‘Alî al-Fârisî (w. 377H), dan Ibnu Jinnî (w. 392H). Para kritikus menegaskan, penisbatan teori anti-sinonimitas Syaḥrûr kepada tokoh-tokoh linguistik Arab klasik di atas terbukti bersifat bias dan prematur, sehingga justru mereduksi dan mengaburkan makna al-Qur’an itu sendiri.

TECNOLOGIA NA EDUCAÇÃO: EXPLORANDO AVANÇOS E POSSIBILIDADES PARA O FUTURO
Authors: Oliveira Márcia Rodrigues de , Santos Maria Pricila Miranda dos
Published: May 2024

Com a pandemia se fez necessário o uso de equipamentos tecnológicos aplicados na educação. Tais equipamentos já eram utilizados em outras áreas, mas muito pouco nas escolas. Com a pandemia verificou-se que tais equipamentos poderiam ser de grande utilidade, não apenas naquele período mas também pós pandemia. Logo, após a pandemia tivemos a certeza que o uso de equipamentos tecnológicos veio para ficar em vários setores, desde empresas quanto órgãos públicos. Todavia, ter certeza disso não significa que foram oferecidas condições para o uso dos equipamentos em alguns setores, como por exemplo a educação. A maioria das escolas públicas não tem sequer um computador para ser utilizado pelo professor, quanto mais computadores ou tablets para o uso dos alunos. Isso desmotiva o professor que não consegue ter a atenção de seus alunos em suas aulas, porque eles ainda estão utilizando a lousa, o caderno e o lápis, e o trabalhos do professor fica caótico, sem conseguir haver uma troca de informações. A tecnologia deu grandes passos e passou a fazer parte da sociedade, mas deixou de lado alguns setores importantes para a própria sociedade. O homem de hoje não consegue se ver sem ter em mãos um celular ou outro tipo de equipamentos tecnológicos. As empresas contratam pessoas que tenham conhecimentos em tecnologia e o mercado de trabalho tem vagas suficientes para esta área, altos salários, etc. Mas e a educação, como fica/ficará com o tempo. Hoje ela não consegue acompanhar a tecnologia em prol de suas atividades. Devemos tentar mudar esta infeliz realidade e exigir de nossos governantes que atualizem os professores ministrando cursos de informática, equipem as escolas com materiais tecnológicos. Apresentaremos duas entrevistas com professores que atuam em escolas públicas onde será ratificado todas as dificuldades enfrentadas no dia por estes profissionais. Então, verificaremos se o uso da tecnologia no pós pandemia ajudou a melhorar a educação nas escolas públicas ou se ainda falta muito a percorrer para se chegar a uma escola pública que possa oferecer uma educação de qualidade.
ATUAÇÃO DO FISIOTERAPEUTA NO FATOR EXTRÍNSECO RELACIONADO A QUEDA EM IDOSO
Authors: Santos Galdino Ribeiro , Carvalho Laís Lopes
Published: May 2024

Esse artigo buscou demonstrar, por meio da literatura, a conduta da fisioterapia no fator extrínseco de queda na pessoa idosa. Trata-se de uma revisão qualitativa e integrativa, explorando a conduta da fisioterapia em quedas de idosos. Foram realizadas buscas em bases de dados da SciELO, PubMed, PEDro e BVS, selecionando 10 artigos para a revisão. A coleta de dados ocorreu de dezembro de 2023 a fevereiro de 2024, respeitando o recorte temporal de 2013 a 2024. A partir dos dados apresentados, fica claro que as quedas em idosos são multifatoriais, sendo influenciadas por fatores intrínsecos, como as condições de saúde e o envelhecimento natural do corpo, e por fatores extrínsecos, como o ambiente físico em que vivem. A implementação de medidas preventivas e intervencionais se mostra essencial, considerando não apenas a necessidade de reabilitação após uma queda, mas também a importância de reduzir o risco de quedas futuras. A fisioterapia desempenha um papel crucial na prevenção de quedas em idosos, fornecendo avaliação funcional, exercícios personalizados, treinamento de equilíbrio e orientações para modificações no ambiente domiciliar. Evidências indicam sua capacidade não só de reduzir a ocorrência de quedas, mas também de minimizar sua gravidade, melhorando a qualidade de vida dos idosos.
VISUAL LAW: A UTILIZAÇÃO DE RECURSOS VISUAIS NO TERMO DE CONSENTIMENTO LIVRE E ESCLARECIDO PARA A GARANTIA DA AUTODETERMINAÇÃO DO PACIENTE E REDUÇÃO DA JUDICIALIZAÇÃO DA MEDICINA
Authors: Santos Bruno Roger de Souza , Ferreira Filho José
Published: May 2024

O presente estudo aborda como a utilização de elementos visuais, contidos no visual law, aplicados aos termos de consentimento livre e esclarecido, garantem o direito constitucional da autodeterminação do paciente, minorando a judicialização da medicina e mitigando a superlotação do judiciário. De tal forma, traz o seguinte questionamento: como o tecnicismo médico na elaboração dos termos de consentimento livre e esclarecido contribui para a negligência informacional e desencadeia inúmeras demandas para o judiciário? Nesse sentido, busca-se analisar o erro médico caracterizado pela negligência informacional, o que corrobora para o aumento de processos judiciais em face de médicos, sendo que este poderia ser evitado caso a garantia à autodeterminação fosse eficaz na relação médico-paciente. Com isso foi elencado três objetivos específicos para essa pesquisa, quais sejam: analisar a conduta do médico ao produzir um termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido, que efetivamente busque pela compreensão do paciente sobre o que engloba sua saúde; Compreender que é extremamente necessário que o profissional da saúde saia do seio tecnicismo para que consiga efetivamente dar a assistência necessária ao paciente/ cidadão; Demonstrar que o visual Law é uma ferramenta indispensável que clareiam as informações trocadas na relação médico-paciente. A metodologia adotada para o presente trabalho passou por uma análise qualitativa, se aprofundando em bibliografias e documentos que trazem à tona a necessidade de uma abordagem diversa dos profissionais que exercem a medicina ao passar informações por escrito ao paciente. De igual modo, ao se valer de documentos como doutrinas, artigos e a própria legislação vigente, ficou demonstrado que muitas das demandas judiciais envolvendo profissionais da medicina, nem sempre ocorrem por um erro quanto ao resultado e sim pela falta de informação adequada que caracteriza a negligência informacional.

Authors: Silva Diego da , Percicotte Josiane Pereira
Published: May 2024

A prática linguística pode ser entendida como sendo determinante e fundamental para o funcionamento homeostático de todos os sistemas familiares, sem uma comunicação eficiente a essência de evolução e desenvolvimento do ciclo vital da família se cristaliza em legados, mitos e triangulações disfuncionais, as quais, impreterivelmente culminam em conflitos relacionais. O presente estudo tem como objetivo efetivar uma revisão literária que possibilite identificar as bases dimensionais da linguagem que compõem o sistema familiar, assim como, analisar padrões comunicacionais que influenciam seus membros na organização em pensamentos e comportamentos sob a perspectiva da Terapia Familiar, refletindo possíveis contribuições da comunicação não-violenta no auxílio de resoluções de problemáticas familiares. Podemos considerar que a partir da proposta desta pesquisa, as intercorrências comunicacionais afastam os membros da família, convergindo para conflitos que seguem por toda a vida. Constatamos, que a comunicação não-violenta apresenta auxílio na tratativa de problemáticas familiares, atenuando conflitos e tornando-a mais empática.

Abstract. In this work, we have performed a series of numerical investigations on the mixing states of partially-coated black carbon (BC) based on the single-particle soot photometer (SP2). First, we calculated the scattering signal returned from partially-coated BC based on the SP2 measurement, and then the mixing states were determined using Mie theory, where the difference between the determined and "true" mixing states can represent the uncertainties of the SP2 measurement. We found that the SP2 measurement can provide good estimates for small, heavily coated BCs and shows better performance for fully coated BCs. However, the microphysical properties of BCs have a significant impact on the accuracy of the SP2 measurement; sometimes deviations of about -22 % to 28 % were observed for the determined particle-to-core size ratio (Dp/Dc). When considering a size distribution, the error in the effective radius is generally within about -17 % to 8.8 %. We also investigated the effects of Mie-based models using the SP2 determined and volume-mean Dp/Dc on the radiative effects of partially-coated BC. We found that both Mie models based on the volume mean and SP2 determined mixing states overestimate the absorption enhancement (Eabs) and direct radiative forcing (DRF) of BC. The Mie model based on the SP2 measurement does not necessarily provide worse estimates of radiative properties, although some errors occur in the determination of the mixing states, since the fraction of the coated core (F) in the particle scale is an important factor affecting Eabs and DRF. Sometimes the inaccurate measurements of the mixing states by SP2 would offset the influence of F. Moreover, our results based on the Mie model considering F can significantly improve the estimates for the absorption and DRF of partially-coated BC, although the morphology also has some influence. Therefore, we suggest adding a parameter F to model the radiative effect of BC in climate modeling even when a Mie-based model is used.

Abstract. Ozone (O3) air pollution is well known to adversely affect both the grain and protein yield of wheat, an important staple crop. This study aims to identify and model the key plant processes influencing the effect of O3 on wheat protein. We modified the DO3SE-Crop model to incorporate nitrogen (N) processes, and parameterised the O3 effect on stem, leaf and grain N using O3 fumigation datasets spanning 3 years and 4 O3 treatments. Our results show the new model captures the O3 effect on grain N concentrations, and anthesis leaf and stem concentration, well. However, the O3 effect on harvest leaf and stem N is exaggerated. Further, a sensitivity analysis revealed that, irrespective of O3 treatment, accelerated senescence onset was the primary plant process affecting grain N. This modelling study therefore demonstrates the capability of the DO3SE-CropN model to simulate processes by which O3 affects N content, and thereby determines that senescence onset is the main driver of O3 reductions in grain protein yield. The implication of the sensitivity analysis is that breeders should focus their efforts on stay-green cultivars that do not experience a protein penalty when developing O3 tolerant lines, to maintain both wheat yield and nutritional quality under O3 exposure.

Abstract. NARCliM2.0 comprises two Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) regional climate models (RCMs) downscaling five CMIP6 global climate models contributing to the Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment over Australasia at 20 km resolution, and south-east Australia at 4 km convection-permitting resolution. We first describe NARCliM2.0’s design, including selecting two, definitive RCMs via testing seventy-eight RCMs using different parameterisations for planetary boundary layer, microphysics, cumulus, radiation, and land surface model (LSM). We then assess NARCliM2.0's skill in simulating the historical climate versus CMIP3-forced NARCliM1.0 and CMIP5-forced NARCliM1.5 RCMs and compare differences in future climate projections. RCMs using the new Noah-MP LSM in WRF with default settings confer substantial improvements in simulating temperature variables versus RCMs using Noah-Unified. Noah-MP confers smaller improvements in simulating precipitation, except for large improvements over Australia’s southeast coast. Activating Noah-MP’s dynamic vegetation cover and/or runoff options primarily improve simulation of minimum temperature. NARCliM2.0 confers large reductions in maximum temperature bias versus NARCliM1.0 and 1.5 (1.x), with small absolute biases of ~0.5 K over many regions versus over ~2 K for NARCliM1.x. NARCliM2.0 reduces wet biases versus NARCliM1.x by as much as 50 %, but retains dry biases over Australia’s north. NARCliM2.0 is biased warmer for minimum temperature versus NARCliM1.5 which is partly inherited from stronger warm biases in CMIP6 versus CMIP5 GCMs. Under shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP)3-7.0, NARCliM2.0 projects ~3 K warming by 2060–79 over inland regions versus ~2.5 K over coastal regions. NARCliM2.0-SSP3-7.0 projects dry futures over most of Australia, except for wet futures over Australia’s north and parts of western Australia which are largest in summer. NARCliM2.0-SSP1-2.6 projects dry changes over Australia with only few exceptions. NARCliM2.0 is a valuable resource for assessing climate change impacts on societies and natural systems and informing resilience planning by reducing model biases versus earlier NARCliM generations and providing more up-to-date future climate projections utilising CMIP6.

Dissident groups started to emerge in the USSR in the 1960s and later extended to
Soviet Armenia. There, dissidents expressed their opinions in three main ways. But the
fight for Armenia's independence to be restored was at the heart of the dissident movement. Following the completion of the concepts debated in Armenian patriotic
circles, the National United Party was created in 1966 and assumed leadership of the
campaign for the liberation of Armenia and the restoration of statehood. It was of
extraordinary international importance across the USSR, not only in Soviet Armenia.

Published: May 2024

Stochastic modelling for wind speed was done using 26 years (1978-2003) data. The maximum mean weekly wind speed 9.60 kmph occurs in the 25th week (June 18-24) and minimum mean weekly wind speed 2.37 kmph occurs in the 50th week (Dec 10-16) with 4.92 kmph mean weekly wind speed. Statistical tests indicated that the series of the weekly wind speed data is trend free. The periodic component of weekly wind speed can be represented by second harmonic expression. The stochastic components of the mean weekly wind speed follow second order Markov model. Validation of generated mean weekly wind speed series was done by comparison of generated mean weekly wind speed series and measured mean weekly wind speed series. The correlation coefficient between generated and measured mean weekly wind speed series was 0.9974. The correlation was tested by t-test and found to be highly significant 1 per cent level. The standard error (0.148 mrn) is quite low. The regression equation is very near to I: I line. Therefore, developed model can be used for future prediction of weekly wind speed.

Pipe and open subsurface drainage systems were installed in an area of 12 ha in farmers' fields at Uppugunduru pilot area in Krishna Western Delta (KWD) in South India to combat the problems of water logging (depth of water table, oto 2.04 m) and salinity (ECe, 1.0 to 52.7 dS mol; pH, 6.5 to 8.8). Ten pipe drains were laid at three different spacing of 30,45 (design) and 60 m using two types of synthetic envelope materials, namely nylon mesh and geo-textile. Six open drains were laid at 50 m spacing. Monitoring of the performance of drainage systems for a period of 3 years from 1999-00 to 2001- 02 indicated that the average discharge from the pipe drains laid at 30 m spacing was the highest in all the years when compared to the pipe drains laid at 45 and 60 m spacing. As the spacing increased, the drain discharge decreased. However, no definite trend was observed with regard to the effect of envelope material on drain discharge. The water table, which used to be very close to the ground surface during the main crop period from October to January, could be lowered by 0.25 to OAm below the ground surface because of drainage systems. Atotal of 765.13 tons of salts were disposed through the drainage systems during the period of three years
