Riesgo de extinción en función al nicho climático: ¿qué sabemos y qué necesitamos saber?
Authors: Jiménez Zacur Marcela N. , Pérez-Estigarribia Pastor Enmanuel , Esquivel Mattos Alberto
Published: March 2024

Ante el cambio climático, las especies pueden perder representación de su nicho en el biotopo, viéndose afectado el riesgo de extinción. Esta breve revisión de la literatura pretende establecer las bases del estado del conocimiento sobre riesgo de extinción en función al nicho climático. Esto permitirá formular futuros abordajes tales como predicciones de riesgo en base al nicho climático. Según la literatura, la amplitud del nicho y la posición relativa de sus componentes determinan el riesgo de extinción. Esta información puede complementar el conocimiento sobre el riesgo de extinción relacionado a la distribución geográfica. También se puede utilizar para planificar estrategias de conservación específicas para cada situación. Las características de los nichos climáticos pueden interactuar con factores externos (amenazas, competencia) e intrínsecos (área ocupada, dispersión), afectando el riesgo de extinción. Aún persisten vacíos de información sobre los nichos climáticos y limitaciones en sus métodos de estudio. La literatura existente se ha enfocado en vertebrados paleárticos y nichos realizados. Por último, se presenta un caso de estudio que ilustra diferencias entre los nichos climáticos realizados de especies de aves según su riesgo de extinción, mediante la comparación de estadísticas descriptivas. Estas confirman en parte lo que menciona la literatura, pero requieren mejoras para garantizar que proporcionen información veraz. En el futuro, sería interesante explorar estas estadísticas como predictores climáticos para conocer el estado de especies poco conocidas y entender mejor el riesgo de extinción, agregando la dimensión climática a las evaluaciones de riesgo.
Hegel pensador político: Entre metafísica teleológica y realismo político
Authors: Arcos Fuentes Israel
Published: March 2024

Hegel se sitúa en la tradición del realismo político. Así nos lo mostraría su perspectiva para abordar la realidad política. No obstante, la condición filosófica de su obra, su sistema filosófico con pretensiones de abarcar la totalidad de lo real, destinado a un fin superior —la realización del espíritu absoluto en la historia—, acaba estrechando su politicismo. Y es que será la teleología histórica la que merme su concepción realista de lo político, pues esta mirada apuesta por una contingencia en la temporalidad histórica que, como en Maquiavelo o Spinoza, no determina la historia a un telos. Explorar estas tensiones entre el Hegel más político y el más filosófico, mostrar algunas de sus ideas adscritas al realismo político, así como exponer su intento de articular la libertad de los antiguos con la de los modernos, lo particular con la unidad sustancial, serán los objetivos de este breve acercamiento.
Cómo te voy a olvidar. Memorias, identidades y representaciones políticas de España en el discurso de López Obrador
Authors: Resina Jorge , Martínez-Lamas Daniel
Published: March 2024

Este artículo estudia las representaciones de España en el discurso del presidente mexicano Andrés Manuel López Obrador. El trabajo parte de una discusión teórica sobre la formación de memorias e identidades políticas y propone un análisis de marcos interpretativos (frame analysis) de la producción discursiva del mandatario durante sus primeros cuatro años de Gobierno (de diciembre de 2018 a diciembre de 2022). Para ello, se ha construido una unidad de análisis de 321 alocuciones, seleccionadas de entre sus conferencias diarias —conocidas como mañaneras—, y se han identificado tres marcos dominantes: el colonial, el neoliberal y el republicano. Las conclusiones apuntan al carácter conflictivo de España en el discurso de López Obrador, en la medida en que propone una relectura de las relaciones históricas entre ambos países como parte de una revisión sustantiva de la identidad política mexicana.
donativo de 1625 en las provincias vascas
Authors: Porres Marijuán Rosario
Published: March 2024

Cuando el 31 de marzo de 1621 Felipe IV sucedió a su padre en el trono, la Monarquía se hallaba aquejada de gravísimos problemas financieros. La economía castellana sufría un enorme desgaste y las dificultades de la Hacienda Real no dejaban de multiplicarse. Los recursos indianos disminuían a cada paso, mientras los gastos de guerra crecían vertiginosamente, al tiempo que la relación entre estos últimos y el aumento de los impuestos se hacía más evidente que nunca. Para afrontar los compromisos bélicos y financieros, la Administración tomó distintas medidas, entre otras declarar sucesivas bancarrotas. Y también la solicitud de donativos, nueve en total a lo largo del reinado. Al primero de ellos, el de 1625, se dedican estas páginas, a su recaudación en las provincias vascas y a los conflictos internos que ocasionó en unos territorios poco articulados aún desde el punto de vista político, administrativo y fiscal.

In recent years, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning has been the most rapidly developing field. Concerning the tumor’s size and specifics, diagnosing and classifying brain tumor’s is challenging and time-consuming for radiologists. The growth of abnormal cells in the brain is referred to as a brain tumor. A brain tumor is diagnosed in about 11,700 patients every year. It is estimated that 34% of males and 36% of females will survive five years after being diagnosed with malignant brain or different tumors. This study focuses on meningioma, pituitary, glioma and no tumors’, among the many brain tumors. Deep learning algorithms and machine learning methods were used to create an autonomous classification and segmentation system for brain tumors, significantly improving early detection. Using the Visual Geometry Group (16), parameters were set for training the model that detects brain tumors based on analysis of proposed literature solutions. Simple Convolution Neural Network (CNN) models such as VGG-16 and Efficient NetB7 perform well because they are among the highest-performing models. As a result of the study, quick, efficient, and precise decisions can be made using MRI to detect brain tumors. For this 7022 brain magnetic resonance images were used to train and test this model. According to experimental findings, the suggested differential deep CNN model could accurately categories MRI pictures of brain tumors, including aberrant and standard images, with a 98.19% accuracy rate.
Convective thermal losses of long-term underground hot water storage
Authors: Rashevski Milan , Slavtchev Slavtcho
Published: March 2024

A case of underground long-term hot water storage is investigated numerically. The study is based on the unsteady two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in Boussinesq approximation applied to a closed cavern with time-dependent temperature boundary conditions on the walls. The problem formulated in a vorticity-stream function statement is solved by finite difference method (FDM) for high values of the Rayleigh number and for the Prandtl number of water. Streamlines, velocity and temperature fields are presented graphically for given moments of time. The evolution of the thermocline thickness in the mid-section of the cavern is slow and illustrates that the hot water zone occupies more than the half of the cavern even after 6 months period. The Nusselt number on the walls shows that the convective thermal losses are small and after certain period of time tend to decrease due to the diminished temperature difference at the walls. The influence of the fluid convection on the thermal losses is evaluated quantitatively, showing high seasonal thermal efficiency of the insulated hot water storage.

MCQs Book for Pharmacy
Authors: Patil Dr. Vikas V. , Patel Dr. Jayvadan K. , Patil Mr. Ketan B. , Patil Mr. Narendra B.
Published: March 2024

This book attempts to introduce a series of MCQs in Pharmacy of all subjects. Which cover important learning objectives in pharmaceuticals. MCQs method is an important tool for self-study and self-assessment. An overwhelming amount of detailed information about an ever-increasing number of drugs is now available. A mental exercise in the considerations that underlie the choice of one drug over the other in specific situations has to be practiced.

The book has 800+ MCQs which cover all the subjects related to pharmacies such as Pharmaceutics, Pharmacology, Pharmaceutical Chemistry (Inorganic, Organic, Physical, and Medicinal), Clinical Pharmacy, Pharmacognosy, Biochemistry, Pharmaceutical Analysis, Microbiology, and Pharmaceutical Jurisprudence. I hope this book will be helpful for those students who are preparing for competitive examinations in the field of Pharmaceutical Technology. I consider myself an eternal learner and a regular student of Pharmacy.

Pharmaceutical Education, for pharmacists, however, does not intervene, even when they see and understand a drug therapy problem, its causes, and its solutions. I have long suspected that one underlying cause of such inaction is a lack of confidence as if pharmacists do not appreciate their knowledge and how much they can contribute to patient welfare. If this book helps pharmacists to focus, recognize and appreciate their pharmacy knowledge, it will be a useful addition to that enterprise.

Impacto de la conectividad digital en hogares liderados por mujeres, individuos pertenecientes a pueblos indígenas o afrodescendientes en América Latina y el Caribe
Authors: Katz Raúl , Callorda Fernando , Puig Gabarró Pau , García Zaballos Antonio , Iglesias Rodriguez Enrique , Dalio Maribel
Published: March 2024

Si bien la evidencia muestra un impacto económico de la conectividad digital en los hogares positivo y significativo en América Latina y el Caribe, no se conoce su impacto en poblaciones más vulnerables, tales como hogares liderados por mujeres, individuos que indican pertenencia a pueblos indígenas e individuos de etnia afrodescendiente. Analizamos este impacto con datos de las encuestas nacionales de hogares compilados en la base de datos armonizada del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo. Encontramos, entre otros resultados, que el impacto en los ingresos de los hogares liderados por mujeres en las áreas rurales es significativamente menor, igual como ocurre con los individuos de pueblos indígenas en áreas urbanas. La conectividad amplia la brecha de ingresos entre individuos afrodescendientes y no afrodescendientes en áreas urbanas. Estos efectos heterogéneos deberían orientar las políticas hacia el futuro de asegurar que los beneficios de la conectividad se comparten entre toda la población.
Replication: Knowledge and Luck
Authors: Ahmed Aminah
Published: March 2024

Is a belief true when it is due to a lucky guess? This study replicated Turri and colleagues' (2014) study investigating how we make judgments of others' knowledge (i.e., what they know). In this replication, 97 participants completed a short survey that compared three different conditions-one in which the character made the right decision due to their knowledge ("Knowledge"), one in which the character made the right decision due to a lucky guess ("Gettier"), and one in which the character was wrong ("Ignorance"). It was found that subjects attributed knowledge and reasonableness to the characters depending on the condition they were in. Subjects attributed higher knowledge ratings to the characters in the Gettier condition than in the Knowledge and Ignorance conditions. However, ratings for reasonableness, the soundness of the character's conclusions, were higher in the Knowledge condition than the Gettier and Ignorance conditions. Overall, findings were in line with the Turri et. al (2014) study, demonstrating that these effects can replicate. We also found support for an additional hypothesis for gender differences in knowledge ratings: the female character ("Emma") was rated lower in knowledge that the male characters ("Darrel" and "Gerald") regardless of the condition.
Detection of BAXΔ2 Positive Macrophage In Breast Tissues
Authors: Adil Anam , Basheer Sana , Xiang Jialing
Published: March 2024

BaxΔ2 is an isoform of the Bax gene and functions as a tumor suppressor. Its gene products can cause programmed cell death. In previous studies, the lab found that BaxΔ2 is found in cells throughout various human organs [2]. Based on the morphological structure of these cells, it is hypothesized that some of these cells may be macrophages. This project focuses on identifying whether BaxΔ2 positive macrophages are found in breast tissue. Six different patient cases with varying grades of cancer were looked at and their cancerous tissue was compared to their normal tissue. A process known as Immunofluorescence Staining uses certain antibodies to test for certain antigens (markers) in a sample of tissue. Co Immunostaining was used to stain for two different markers. In this case, each tissue slide is stained with antibodies against macrophages and BaxΔ2. We found that normal breast tissue had a greater amount of BaxΔ2 in comparison to cancer adjacent tissue, stage 1, 2, and 3 malignant tumors. From the data, it was also analyzed that almost all macrophages were BaxΔ2 positive, however not all BaxΔ2 positive cells were macrophages. This suggests that in addition to its apoptotic function, BaxΔ2 positive macrophage may play a role in immune response. Analyzing the amount of BaxΔ2 present in different types of tissue could also serve as a prognosis marker for cancer patients. In addition, it can be explored if cancer cells expressing BaxΔ2 are more sensitive to chemotherapy treatments.
Image Processing Integration into Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry to Remotely Sense Freshwater Surface
Authors: Tran Lan , Datta-Barua Seebany , Parvizi Roohollah
Published: March 2024

Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) is a technique that detects signals reflected off the surface and analyzes the reflected signals to obtain surface characteristics. This technique was used to differentiate between surface ice and water condition of Lake Michigan in Chicago. To confirm GNSS-R results validity, a separate reference is needed to compare with. A sensor fusion of camera and a lidar was used to reconstruct the lake surface. This reconstructed surface was as a reference to compare with GNSS-R results. Since the current camera frames rate being used to reconstruct the lake surface using the sensor fusion of camera and lidar is two frames per minute, this research explores the effect of increasing the camera frames rate on the reconstructed surface.
Processing of Single Crystal Aluminum Using Compacted Alumina Powder
Authors: Dong Jiaqi
Published: March 2024

This experiment was designed to produce single crystal aluminum specimens through the understanding of solidification and processing parameter effects. In order to conduct the experiment, specimens were prepared by steel die casting and machining. After aluminum specimens were machined and ground, they were placed in the center of a crucible. Alumina powder was then filled and compacted in the crucible. The crucible was placed in a furnace for the remelting process. Finally, it was placed on a heat sink and was allowed to solidify. The powder compacting methods and remelting temperature were the two most important processing parameters. They were modified to improve the test and create single crystal microstructure. It was found that the compacting methods significantly affected the formation of leak within the crucible. Extremely dense powder  results in crack openings; extremely loose powder results in formation of branch-like leakages. Uniformly and gently compacted powder will optimize the result. Remelting temperature affects the amount of thermal expansion. High temperature results in large amount of expansion,and causes cracks in the powder. Low temperature requires much more time and it cannot be guaranteed that the specimen is completely melted. The grain size and microstructure of each trial was compared and analyzed. Necessary modification of procedure was also made to improve future results. Finally in the report, the processing parameters and the resulting microstructure were correlated and discussed.

The purpose of this work is to study a new mathematical model of a ring neural network with unidirectional chemical connections, which is a singularly perturbed system of differential-difference equations with delay. Methods. A combination of analytical and numerical methods is used to study the existence and stability of special periodic solutions in this system, the so-called traveling waves. Results. The proposed methods make it possible to show that the ring system under study allows the number of stable traveling waves to increase with the number of oscillators in the network. Conclusion. In this article, we rethink and refine the previously proposed method of mathematical modeling of chemical synapses. On the one hand, it was possible to fully take into account the requirement of the Volterra structure of the corresponding equations and, on the other hand, the hypothesis of saturating conductivity. This makes it possible to observe the principle of uniformity: the new mathematical model is based on the same principles as the previously proposed model of electrical synapses.

Authors: Lukiyanto Kukuh , Laksamana Darmawan Bahar , Maulana Fahrizal
Published: March 2024

The use of environmentally friendly packaging for MSME business actors has become a trend for business activists in the MSME sector. Eco-friendly packaging has an indirect impact on the environment and in terms of the business itself. Darmabox, as one of the startups, is an environmentally friendly packaging manufacturer. The advantages of eco-friendly packaging offered by Darmabox are the main attraction in terms of shape and aesthetics. This study aimed to determine the perceptions of SMEs towards environmentally friendly packaging and the motives of SMEs in using environmentally friendly packaging. The method used in this research was qualitative phenomenology, which was conducted through interviews with Darmabox customers. The results of this study indicated that SMEs already have an understanding of environmentally friendly packaging. However, the biggest obstacle is related to the price of environmentally friendly packaging, which is relatively expensive compared to polymer-based packaging. The results of the study also showed that the motives of business actors in choosing environmentally friendly packaging are a form of support in encouraging marketing activities.

Scheduling Analysis with Monte Carlo Simulation and Statistic Method on a Building Construction Project
Authors: Nabila Yusna Syadza , Suharyanto Agus , Wijatmiko Indradi
Published: March 2024

In the construction of an office building in Indonesia, a delay occurred in the first-floor concrete work. The project was planned to be completed in 161 days but it took 168 days to complete. This study analyzed the issues that arose by doing a scheduling analysis and by comparing the Monte Carlo Simulation and the Statistic method. A comparison between these methods was carried out to determine the project duration scheduling probability level from each method. The data included in the study were the project’s Time Schedule and the interview data from respondents who were directly related to the office building construction project. Monte Carlo Simulation analysis showed that to get a 100% probability level, the duration can only be accelerated by two days, from 168 days to 166 days, while the Statistical method analysis showed that to get a 99.99% probability level the duration can only be accelerated by 4,2 days, from 168 days to 163.8 days. From the results above, it can be concluded that the Monte Carlo Simulation has a more accurate calculation than the Statistic Method because the result from the Monte Carlo Simulation was 166 days with a 100% probability level. It is close to the project realization duration which was 168 days.
Keywords: construction delay analysis, monte carlo simulation, statistic method comparison
Testimonio de lo inefable. Técnica narrativa y retórica en El deshabitado (2016), de Javier Sicilia
Authors: Berdeja Acevedo Juan
Published: March 2024

El deshabitado (Grijalbo, 2016) may be defined as a testimony-fiction given that it is a complex and overwhelming first-person story written by the poet Javier Sicilia, who is himself represented as protagonist and witness of the horrible social causes of the death of his son Juanelo and the consequences that the fact itself had on Sicilia. On the book, we learn about the duel of the writer and the subsequent foundation of the Movimiento por la Paz con Justicia y Dignidad, a civil movement against the so-called war against narc by the Mexican Government between 2006 and 2012. Therefore, social fact and intimate memory merge in this book. Thus, this research’s hypothesis is that it is possible to recognize rhetorical and technical elements used in order to build a testimony of the ineffable. How does Sicilia match lyrical technique and testimony to form a balanced point between the affection, the art and the memory? Which are the aesthetic implications of this rare writing? Since the author asserts himself as a witness-memorialist who reviews a high point of Mexican history, the history becomes then a first-hand testimony-memory of the historical period. Likewise, the historical conscience, but particularly the literary awareness and the suspicion of the written language to describe and express his pain, allow us to problematize the relations between writing and violence on one hand, and between art and present time on the other. Such were the main targets on this study.
El testimonio desde el margen. El entenado, de Juan José Saer, y el sentido de la historia
Authors: Alvarez Lobato Carmen
Published: March 2024

This article studies the novel El entenado (1983), by Juan José Saer, a singular work that is included within the genre of the new historical novel but which distances itself from its conventions. El entenado does not reflect on a central event in the history of Argentina, nor does it resort to collective testimonies, but rather shifts its gaze to individual testimony and the narration of an almost forgotten, marginal historical event: the failed expedition of Juan Díaz de Solís (1515) and the testimony of the only survivor of the ritual anthropophagy of the Colastiné Indians, the cabin boy Francisco del Puerto. The theoretical tools of this article correspond to the postulates of Georg Lukács’ historical novel and the premises of María Cristina Pons on the new historical novel of the mid-twentieth century in Latin America; all this in dialogue with the author’s poetics expressed in essays and interviews. The focus of this study, however, is not a generic reflection, but the detailed analysis of the various displacements proposed by Saer: the generic, the spatial and the temporal. The movement from the fragmentation of bodiesor the partial discourse of history to the construction of a symbolic meaning is emphasized. The conclusions reflect on how to integrate the excluded elements (historical, social and individual) in the great discourses and how to endow them with meaning. Thus, this novel proposes to abandon the fruitless search for a historical truth and replace it with a symbolic truth, more critical and inclusive.

Farm Diversification Programmes in Haryana: A Review
Authors: Jose Elizabeth , Ponnusamy K.
Published: March 2024

The Green Revolution in the late 1960s enabled India to overcome a severe food shortage and achieve food grain self-sufficiency. Recent trends in crop farming witnessed a multifold shift towards paddy and wheat specialization in Haryana. The sustainability of the future agricultural production system in terms of soil, water, climate and market characteristics is threatened by continuous mono cropping of the rice-wheat cropping system. Increased rice-wheat mono cropping trend necessitates diversification on account of ecological concerns. So, farm diversification is an important strategy to maintain sustainability of the Haryana state agriculture. This article briefly discusses the various diversification initiatives performed in Haryana and their effects.

Mortgage Status and Financial Stress: Do Home Equity Loans, Negative Home Equity, and Mortgage Default Matter?
Authors: Green Leslie E. , Park Narang , Davis Kimberlee
Published: March 2024

A home is often the largest asset held by U.S. households. If home equity accumulation is slowed through acquiring a home equity loan, threatened through mortgage default, or undermined through the occurrence of negative home equity, homeowners may experience increased financial stress. This study used the 2018 National Financial Capability Study to assess the relationship between three mortgage statuses (having a home equity loan, negative home equity, or mortgage default) and financial stress among nonretiree mortgage holders (N= 5,058). Financial stress was measured by an index of financial difficulty perceptions. Findings revealed that negative home equity is related to greater levels of financial stress than mortgage default or having a home equity loan. Additionally, experiencing a large drop in income intensified the positive relationship between negative home equity and the financial stress index. These findings suggest that conditions seemingly outside the control of homeowners may influence their financial stress perceptions.

The use of the Osing language in this area is still quite strong, and the pronunciation could be more precise. Even so, the people of this village still apply politeness in language when interacting with each other. This study aimed to find out the forms and language politeness strategies used by the Osing community in Macan Putih Village. This research method uses a qualitative research method with three stages: the stage of providing data, the stage of data analysis, and the stage of providing the results of data analysis. The research data is in utterances by speech participants associated with a context. The study results show that most of the Osing people in Macan Putih Village are polite in speaking, although some still violate it. The form of politeness in the language of the Osing community is based on markers of politeness verbally through speech and nonverbally through accompanying body gestures, as well as the politeness scale. There are two strategies namely positive politeness strategies such as (1) paying attention, (2) exaggerating in giving comments or praise, (3) using markers as members of the same group, (4) using jokes, and (5) giving questions or asking for reasons. The second strategy is the negative politeness strategy, namely (1) using indirect speech, (2) being pessimistic, and (3) minimizing coercion/pressure.

Metaphor is the use of language that is effective and expressive which causes metaphors to be found in the use of creative language, especially songs or poetry. Metaphors are now used in popular songs, especially in dangdut koplo songs. This research is supported by conceptual metaphor theory and image schema theory. The objective of this study is to explore any metaphors in the concept of 'heart' in song lyrics and how the concept of 'heart' is conceptualized in these collections of popular koplo songs. This study uses descriptive qualitative research design that consistent with the aims of this research. Data obtained by means of documentation. The data used is a collection of popular Javanese songs sung by Denny Caknan. In collecting data using documentation techniques. The data that has been collected is then analyzed using the direct element distribution and selection technique, which is realized by selecting song lyrics that contain the heart lexicon. Furthermore, the results of data analysis will be presented with an informal method. Based on the results of the analysis, there are two types of metaphors from the category of conceptual metaphors, namely ontological metaphors and structural metaphors. Two types of metaphors were also found from the image schema category, namely containment image schema and force image schema. From the analysis, it can be concluded that in Denny Caknan’s song represent some of conceptualization of the ati ‘heart’ metaphor, those are; (1) 'THE HEART IS HUMAN', (2) ‘HEART IS A CONTAINER CAN BE FILLED’, and (3) ‘THE HEART IS AN ENTITY CAN HANG OR GRASP’.

This article discusses the importance and articulation of innovation policy from the point of view of the entrepreneurial ecosystem approach. The paper takes the form of a literature review. To this end, the authors describe the analysis of industrial policy based on the entrepreneurial ecosystem approach proposed by Stam (2018). The research finds that innovation policy plays a crucial role in a competitive entrepreneurial environment to achieve creative destruction. The Policy tries to solve the problems that hinder the interaction of the factors that make up the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Different policy tools should be developed to formulate policies for the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Additionally, successful innovation policy tools in one ecosystem could be applied in another ecosystem.

This study analyzes the effects of (GST) and how it is being implemented in Sierra Leone. GST replaces previous taxes, including domestic sales tax, import sales tax, entertainment tax, hotel room tax, restaurant tax, food tax etc. The objectives of this study are to know the effect of GST on the Sierra Leone Economy, to know if GST implementation will lead to an increase in prices of goods and services; to assess GST compliance rate in Sierra Leone; and to know the reasons for GST implementation in Sierra Leone. The data collection method used both primary and secondary sources the study's participants were 89 employees of NRA and business owners in Sierra Leone 2021 to 2023. Questions were analyzed using SPSS in the form of descriptive analysis, chart, and correlation coefficient. The results showed that GST implementation has positive effects on Sierra Leone Economy. The introduction of GST is to boost revenue and promote economic growth in Sierra Leone. GST introduction in Sierra Leone has resulted in increased prices of goods and services. It is recommended that the NRA should provide tax education and awareness and provide availability and accessibility of technological infrastructure for GST implementation in the country.

Introdução: A excisão local de tumores retais através da microcirurgia endoscópica transanal (MET) faz parte do arsenal terapêutico da coloproctologia. Embora o instrumental seja semelhante ao da laparoscopia convencional, é necessário treinamento específico, mesmo que se tenha domínio da laparoscopia. Objetivo: Descrever a confecção de um simulador para treinamento em cirurgia transanal, utilizando material de baixo custo e com ampla disponibilidade. Material e Métodos: O simulador apresentado é composto de uma estrutura feita com tubulação hidráulica de 40mm de diâmetro e uma câmera endoscópica ligada a um tablet ou computador. O reto é simulado através de um tubo feito com camadas de etileno acetato de vinila (EVA). Resultados: O simulador possibilita a execução dos procedimentos relacionados a MET e treinamento para ressecção de lesões e a sutura endo-luminal. Discussão: O simulador foi montado utilizando materiais amplamente disponíveis. Foi possível obter semelhança visual e espacial, possibilitando a realização de exercícios de treinamento para ressecção de lesões e suturas endo-luminais. Conclusão: Foi possível realizar a montagem de um simulador de baixo custo para treinamento em cirurgia endoscópica transanal, capaz de oferecer um resultado visual e um campo de trabalho semelhante ao obtido no procedimento real.

La production porcine est responsable d’environ 10 % des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) de l’élevage mondial et doit réduire ses impacts. Ces émissions de GES, comptabilisées en sortie de ferme, sont liées à la production d’aliment et la gestion des effluents, pour 60 % et 30 % respectivement. La réduction du taux de protéines alimentaires peut agir sur ces deux sources. Cette revue synthétise les connaissances actuelles sur les bénéfices de cette stratégie pour réduire l’impact changement climatique (CC) en relation avec les matières premières utilisées et la réduction des émissions azotées. Une analyse de cycle de vie (ACV) à l’échelle de l’aliment montre que le CC est réduit de 8 % par point de réduction du taux protéique, grâce au remplacement des matières premières plus impactantes (produits du soja). Ces bénéfices sont dépendants des matières premières disponibles et utilisées, du choix des bases de données d’évaluation environnementale et du contexte technico-économique. La modélisation des émissions azotées en fonction des performances, mise à jour par méta-analyse, permet d’effectuer une ACV en sortie de ferme. Une réduction du CC par kg de porc de 10 % pour un point de baisse du taux protéique est atteignable. Cependant, des lacunes méthodologiques et de connaissances subsistent pour correctement évaluer cette stratégie : facteurs d’émission du N2O, prise en compte de l’utilisation des effluents pour la fertilisation, effet sur les performances zootechniques. Par ailleurs, des évolutions structurelles sont nécessaires pour faciliter la mise en pratique, comme la rémunération des externalités positives.

Based on the results of studies, it has been shown that vaccination against measles, mumps rubella (MMR) can prevent mortality and severe forms of COVID-19 in vulnerable groups of the population. It was found that the high level of vaccination coverage against MMR was inversely correlated with the mortality rate from COVID-19 – the higher the vaccination rate against MMR, the lower the number of mortality from COVID-19 and severe forms. The effect of MMR immunization on the incidence of COVID-19 is explained by correspondence between COVID-19 virus proteins and MMR viruses. The results of studies conducted in various countries and have shown that the effect of protection against COVID-19 is based on the homology of individual sequences of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus proteins with MMR viruses. The similarity of the SARS-COV-2 virus with the MMR viruses allows the MMR vaccine to be used for mass use for non-specific protection against COVID-19. In order to increase the effectiveness of vaccination against MMR in people with impaired health, the use of immunomodulatory drugs is recommended. This approach not only increases specific immunity against vaccinated infections, but also enhances nonspecific protection against COVID-19.
