Conjuntivite purulenta com isolamento bacteriano em uma Chinchilla lanigera
Authors: Gonçalves Daniele de Oliveira
Published: June 2023

O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de descrever a ocorrência de conjuntivite purulenta em uma Chinchilla lanigera, heterobege, macho, não castrado e com 4 anos de idade.  Ao realizar o exame clínico oftalmológico, constatou-se grande quantidade de exsudato ocular mucopurulento no olho esquerdo. Organismos bacterianos como Staphylococcus aureus e Streptococcus sp. foram identificados em amostras microbiológicas coletadas com swab nas regiões da córnea, pálpebra e do saco conjuntival. Infecções causadas por bactérias oportunistas são relatadas nesses animais e a anatomia ocular da espécie leva a predisposição de lesões. As chinchilas podem desenvolver conjuntivite secundária à má oclusão dentária, contudo, o paciente não apresentava histórico ou sinais dessa doença. Fatores como objetos pontiagudos no viveiro, o pó utilizado no banho da chinchila e produtos irritantes foram os principais suspeitos na causa da enfermidade. O tratamento para conjuntivite bacteriana é realizado com medicação tópica com ou sem terapia antimicrobiana oral. Foi estabelecido tratamento com colírio a base de cloridrato de Ciprofloxacino e dexametasona (Ciprixin Dexa®), obtendo-se pleno êxito com o procedimento. É esperado que os casos de doenças oftálmicas aumentem devido ao número crescente da criação das chinchilas. A compreensão da morfologia e parâmetros fisiológicos da espécie permite um melhor diagnóstico oftalmológico.

Peran Perendaman dalam Larutan Kapur Sirih terhadap Sifat Keripik Kulit Mangga (Mangifera Indica L.)
Authors: Harsanto Bovi Wira , Saputra Wahyu Dwi
Published: June 2023

Kulit mangga merupakan salah satu limbah dari buah mangga yang jarang diolah menjadi produk pangan, seperti keripik. Perlakuan perendaman dengan larutan kapur sirih (Ca(OH)2 berpotensi dapat memperkokoh jaringan kulit buah mangga sehingga berpeluang menjadikan keripik kulit mangga memiliki tekstur renyah saat digoreng. Pembuatan keripik kulit mangga butuh evaluasi secara ilmiah untuk meyakinkan bahwa produk dapat dikonsumsi dan diterima masyarakat. Oleh karena itu, tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi sifat keripik kulit mangga setelah diberi perlakuan perendaman dengan larutan kapur sirih. Dalam studi ini, kulit mangga direndam dalam 1% dan 2% (b/v) larutan kapur sirih sebelum diberi adonan tepung dan digoreng. Setelah itu, keripik kulit mangga diamati dengan beberapa parameter, seperti kadar proksimat, warna, tekstur, dan sifat sensoris. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa kulit mangga yang direndam dalam 2% (b/v) larutan kapur sirih memiliki kadar air yang lebih rendah dan rasa yang lebih disukai panelis dibandingkan direndam 1% (b/v) larutan kapur sirih, meskipun tidak berbeda nyata dari segi tekstur. Temuan studi ini menjadi informasi ilmiah yang penting dalam menerapkan upaya pemanfaatan limbah dari buah mangga

Authors: Handayani Marta , Riani Ira Gusti , Utami Aldilla Sari , Ichsan Onne Akbar Nur
Published: June 2023

Koro kratok fermentation used Rhizopus oligosphorus was one of Indonesian’s society methods to consumed Koro kratok. Rhizopus oligosphorus produced proteolytic enzyme which can be used to break down complex protein to simple protein. Protein degradation was observed based on the fermentation time of koro kratok. Fermentation times used were 0 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours and 120 hours of fermentation. Parameters observed included proteolytic activity, growth of Rhizopus oligosphorus mycelium, dissolved protein, protein concentration and degree of hydrolysis also protein pattern using SDS PAGE. Observation showed that proteolytic activity, Rhizopus oligosphorus mycelium growth, dissolved protein, protein concentration and degree of hydrolysis were directly proportional to the length of fermentation time. The results of observation on protein patterns using SDS PAGE show that the longer the fermentation time, the simpler the protein produced. The longer the fermentation time, the bigger protein degration of koro kratok.
National Ecomonic Practicies: Influence of Tax Policies on the Economic Processes of the Old and the New EU Democracies
Authors: Kušnírová Jana , Válek Juraj , Dedinský Juraj
Published: June 2023

The European Union operates within the framework of monetary and fiscal policy in accordance with uniform rules, but there is also a region where this rule is not applied. Direct tax policy as part of fiscal policy belongs exclusively to the competence of the individual national economies. Thus, the tax policy of direct taxes (specifically corporate tax) is the result of political decision-making processes at the national levels. The research focuses on 8 EU countries of two groups (old and new democracies). The aim of the article is to identify the potential impact of corporate taxes on the stock market, emphasizing the differences between the old and the new EU democracies. Therefore, the hypothesis verified here is that the tax policy, represented by the corporate tax rate, has a significant effect on the stock market. Thus, the article clearly focuses on the interconnection of political and economic decision-making processes and their impact on the business environment in chosen countries. The main finding is that, in old democracies, the impact of corporate tax rates on stock markets is generally higher than in new democracies.

Published: June 2023

The geographical conditions of Azerbaijan have provided a favorable environment for planting all kinds of agricultural products. Therefore, in recent years, paying attention to the potential of biomass resources has been the subject of increasing research and discussions in this country. This study aimed to estimate the amount of biomass energy that can be acquired from agricultural residues in Azerbaijan. The energy potential of the residues was obtained by considering the calorific value and amount of available residues. For the year 2021, the total amount of available agricultural residues for the ten studied products was estimated at 1,099,346 tons. Cotton and barley had the highest amounts of waste with 47% and 14.47%, respectively. Also, the total heating value of residues was obtained 19610.4566 GJ. Therefore, according to the obtained results, part of the country's energy consumption can be supplied in this way.
Nursing Students’ Clinical Judgment and Performance in Simulation of Recognizing and Responding of the Deterioriating Patient ; a retrospective mixed-methods
Authors: Ha Yi Kyung
Published: June 2023

Purpose : This retrospective mixed-methods study aimed to explore key considerations for designing effective simulated education in nursing, focusing specifically on the recognition and response to deteriorating patients.Methods : Quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed to assess the clinical judgment and performance of the nursing students. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze quantitative data related to prior knowledge, simulation satisfaction, clinical judgment, and nursing performance during deteriorating patient simulations. Qualitative content analysis was conducted for the reflective journal entries of the participants.Results : Quantitative analysis showed that most participants demonstrated a “being skillful” level of clinical judgment (33.1%) in effective response. At the beginner level, clinical judgment varied across effective noticing(39.7-82.8%), effective interpretating(77.6-82.8%), effective responding(3.4-86.2%), and effective reflecting(90.0-95.4%). Nursing performance in assessing patient respiration or SpO2 after request from a physician ranged from 46.6-48.3%. Qualitative analysis indicated that 48.5% of the participants anticipated a deteriorating condition and initiated appropriate actions, while 70% noticed patient unresponsiveness for the first time.Conclusion : To design an effective simulation program for identifying and addressing deteriorating patient care, a framework for observation and interpretation is essential, along with regular simulated training. It is important to design and assess simulation programs and to conduct thorough interviews with nursing students to gain insight into their clinical decision-making.

Authors: Гордеев И.А. , Куторова Е.Э. , Акимова Н.C.
Published: June 2023

Выполнен анализ исследований, посвященных изучению проблемы связи состояния центральной нервной и сердечно-сосудистой систем у пациентов с инфарктом миокарда. Приводятся сведения о том, что несвоевременные диагностика и коррекция когнитивных расстройств могут ассоциироваться с их прогрессированием и развитием деменции, приводящей к инвалидизации пациента. Когнитивные расстройства имеют несомненное социально-экономическое значение как с точки зрения практического здравоохранения, так и в отношении каждого отдельного пациента. По данным литературы, когнитивные нарушения являются фактором, увеличивающим показатели общей смертности в популяции. Показано, что лица, перенесшие инфаркт миокарда, в 5 раз чаще страдают нарушениями когнитивного статуса по сравнению с общей популяцией.

The article presents a review of literature on a problem of the relationships between the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system in the patients with myocardial infarction. The contribution of comorbid conditions in mechanisms of cognitive disorders development caused by ischemic heart disease is of ongoing scientific and clinical interest. Data are presented indicating that untimely diagnosis and correction of cognitive disorders may be associated with their progression, so the cognitive disorders have an important socio-economic significance. The growing number of evidence suggests that excessive decrease in cognitive functions affects the survival of patients with cardiovascular diseases. According to clinical trials review, cognitive impairments increase overall mortality rates in the population. Myocardial infarction is one of the important factors of cognitive disorders development.

Пандемия сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний остается ведущей проблемой систем здравоохранения во всем мире. Разработка и внедрение простых, алгоритмизированных и доступных подходов менеджмента сердечно-сосудистыхзаболеваний на основе комплексной коррекции факторов риска является одной из ключевых задач клинической медицины и организации здравоохранения. Одним из перспективных подходов является концепция применения поликомпонентной таблетки (полипилла) в качестве базисного средства сердечно-сосудистойпрофилактики. В данном практико-ориентированном обзоре представлены данные о появлении и эволюции концепции полипилл, приведены результаты клинического изучения и дифференцированного применения фиксированных комбинаций двух и трех базисных антигипертензивных средств, обсуждены перспективы применения полипиллов, содержащих статин. Накопленные к настоящему времени объективные данные указывают на высокую эффективность и безопасность современных поликомпонентных лекарственных препаратов для коррекции сердечно-сосудистогопрогноза. Предложены рабочие алгоритмы дифференцированного выбора политаблетки для первичной профилактики сердечно-сосудистых осложнений с учетом фенотипа пациента и профиля факторов риска. Представлен прогноз дальнейшей эволюции состава полипиллов на ближайшую перспективу.

The cardiovascular disease pandemic remains a leading public health challenge worldwide. Elaborating and implementing simple, algorithmic and affordable approaches to cardiovascular disease management based on a comprehensive correction of risk factors have become one of the key tasks of clinical medicine and public health management. One of the promising approaches is the concept of using a multicomponent tablet (polypill) as a basic means of cardiovascular prevention. This practice-oriented review presents data on the emergence and evolution of the polypill concept, provides the results of clinical study and differentiated use of fixed combinations of two and three baseline antihypertensive agents, and discusses prospects of statin-containing polypills. The objective data accumulated to date indicate high efficacy and safety of modern multicomponent drugs in correcting cardiovascular prognosis. Working algorithms for differentiated choice of a polypill for primary prevention of cardiovascular complications taking into account patient phenotype and risk factor profile are proposed. A forecast for further evolution of polypills composition in the near future is presented.

¿Cómo celebró San Francisco la Navidad en 1223? 800 años después de la Navidad de Greccio
Authors: Kapron Mariusz Adam
Published: June 2023

Basándose en las fuentes franciscanas, se presenta el verdadero significado de la Navidad celebrada por san Francisco en Greccio en el año 1223. A través del análisis de las fuentes primarias se desmitologiza la celebración realizada por san Francisco, que es objeto de bastantes malentendidos, e invita a mirar los hechos históricos. En este modo, ofrece a los lectores el auténtico mensaje lanzado por Francisco en la Navidad de 1223: un mensaje profundo y exigente (por tanto, inquietante), lejano de los cuentos románticos creados en los siglos posteriores y que perduran hasta hoy día.

UPPER CRETACEOUS FORAMINIFERA MURGEINA APULA (LUPERTO SINNI, 1968): A METHUSALEM AND CENOMANIAN-TURONIAN BOUNDARY SURVIVOR TAXON
Authors: SCHLAGINTWEIT FELIX , YAZDI-MOGHADAM MOHSEN , TEŠOVIĆ BLANKA CVETKO
Published: June 2023

The benthic foraminifera Murgeina apula (Luperto Sinni), originally described as Nummofallotia apula from the Upper Cretaceous of southern Italy, represents a common taxon in the middle-upper Cenomanian Sarvak Formation of southwestern Iran as well as the Campanian-early Maastrichtian of Croatia. The specific identity of the Iranian and Italian as well as Croatian specimens is confirmed by equivalent biometric data and identical test structure. The agglutinated wall (inner part) of M. apula excludes its assignment to the porcelaneous Nummofallotia Barrier & Neumann. Nummofallotia is currently placed in the family Meandropsinidae Henson, while for Murgeina with its bilamellar wall inclusion in the Ventrolaminidae Weynschenk is favoured. Nummofallotia cenomana Luperto Sinnni, described from the Cenomanian of southern Italy and lacking any hard facts for species discrimination (e.g., dimensions, inner structure) is herein considered tentatively a junior synonym of Murgeina apula requiring re-examination of the type-material. M. apula represents another survivor of the Cenomanian–Turonian boundary extinction event and, with a long stratigraphic range from the middle Cenomanian to the (early) Maastrichtian, is similar to another Methusalem taxon such as Moncharmontia apenninica (De Castro) with a comparable range.

Aphananthe Planch. (Cannabaceae) flower preserved in the Mexican amber
Authors: Hernández-Damián Ana Lilia , Rubalcava-Knoth Marco A. , Cevallos Ferriz Sergio Rafael Silvestre
Published: June 2023

Cannabaceae (Urticalean Rosids clade) is a small family with ten genera and a wide distribution in tropical and temperate regions worldwide. A complete understanding of the history of the lineage is fundamental to the integration of its fossil record, which needs to be better documented in low latitudes of North America. This work recognizes a new species, Aphananthe manchesteri Hernández-Damián, Rubalcava-Knoth et Cevallos- Ferriz sp. nov. (Cannabaceae), from the Miocene amber deposits of Simojovel de Allende, Chiapas, Mexico, based on a flower analyzed with reflected light and CT-scanning. Flowers of Cannabaceae are generally staminate or pistillate and small; staminate flowers have five sepals and opposite five stamens, and a pubescent pistillode, such as the fossil. However, the presence of three unguiculate and two ovate sepals with a puberulent surface are characteristics that allow its recognition as Aphananthe, the fossil is morphologically similar to Aphananthe monoica, an extant species that grows along the Pacific coast of Mexico. The presence of Aphananthe manchesteri sp. nov. in southern Mexico during the middle-early Miocene, ~23–15 Ma ago, supports the history of the lineage in lowlatitude North America, representing an expansion of the Boreotropical Flora. It adds to the taxonomical diversity of angiosperms preserved in Mexican amber, comparable with amber deposits from the Dominican Republic, where another anemophilous extinct species member of the Urticalean Rosids clade has been reported. This coincidence further supports the development of similar plant communities between these fossiliferous localities.
Groundwater Potential Mapping at Highly Populated Sub-districts of Thimphu District Using Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process
Authors: Thongley Thongley , Choki Tshering , Choden Kuenzang
Published: June 2023

Groundwater is important when there is an insufficient spring water supply for daily needs. The population growth and expansion of the cities demand more water. Thimphu is the capital city of Bhutan and facing water shortage in recent times due to urban expansion and population growth. This study aims to find the potential area for groundwater using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process. The factors used for this study are elevation, slope, curvature, topographic wetness index, drainage density, normalized difference vegetation index, distance from fault density, rainfall distribution map, soil texture map, and drainage density. The rating for the factors and classes of the factors were carried out with the help of field experts. As per the fuzzy weight, the highest contributing factor for the groundwater is rainfall with a fuzzy weight of 0.215. Only 1.19% of the study area falls under very high potential zone for groundwater and the area under the curve of the groundwater potential map is 70.37%. The groundwater potential map will help concerned officials to explore the subsurface groundwater using geophysical investigation using test drilling and borehole geophysical logging techniques.
President Biden's administration towards the quality of democracy and the rule of law in Poland
Authors: Jureńczyk Łukasz
Published: June 2023

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim is to analyze and evaluate the attitude of the American administration to the issue of compliance with the principles of democracy and the rule of law in Poland in the context of the war in Ukraine.

THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The main question is whether the war in Ukraine influenced the approach of President Biden’s administration to the issue of the quality of democracy and the rule of law in Poland? The analysis is carried out in the perspective of the concept of quality of democracy. The author interviewed American researchers and used the method of analyzing the content of text sources.

THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The first part covers a theoretical framework for the quality of democracy and the rule of law. The second part presents a synthetic presentation of the main elements of the dispute in Poland around these values. The next two parts cover the approach of the American administration to legal changes in Poland affecting the quality of democracy and the rule of law.

RESEARCH RESULTS: The war in Ukraine silenced American criticism of Poland. This is because the US strategic security interests take precedence over other values and interests. However, when the war in Ukraine is over, this problem may return and weigh heavily on Polish-American relations, especially if Democrats remain in power.

CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The political and legal dispute in Poland concerning the quality of democracy and the rule of law contributes to the international discussion on this topic. In the mainstream Western literature, there is a serious criticism of the actions of the Polish authorities, sometimes conducted without taking into account the weaknesses of contemporary liberal democracy. The illiberal trend in Poland and other countries in the region, especially in Hungary, fuels criticism of these actions.
Understanding disorder in the law and jurisprudence (the perspective of legal positivism)
Authors: Peno Michał
Published: June 2023

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The main task involves an attempt to characterize a disordered law and concerns characterizing the most important aspects of the disorder.

THE RESEARCH PROBLEMS AND METHODS: The main task of the article are terminological and conceptual arrangements. Therefore, the method of linguistic analysis was used, adapting conceptions knew in ­theory and philosophy of law to the needs of the analysis of the concept of the disorder.

THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: Starting from the analysis of the main, known theories of law, concepts and ideas, various cases of disorder of the legal system are identified, both in the political, ethical and purely formal aspects.

RESEARCH RESULTS: The analysis allowed to identify and reconstruct certain specific types of disorder. Law, on many levels – from formal to merits of law – can be a source of moral and ideological chaos. Law may serve intentional destabilization of social life.

CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Traditionally law is associated with order and consistency rather than disorder and chaos. Nevertheless, the disorder and chaos can be seen as a real and factual part of the law.
Wykwalifikowani uchodźcy z Ukrainy wyzwaniem dla rynku pracy
Authors: Kubiciel-Lodzińska Sabina , Solga Brygida , Filipowicz Maciej
Published: June 2023

CEL NAUKOWY: Uzyskanie wiedzy w zakresie możliwości wykorzystania kwalifikacji uchodźców z Ukrainy na polskim rynku pracy. Artykuł uzupełnia lukę badawczą odnoszącą się do zagadnień związanych z zatrudnieniem migrantów wojennych zgodnie z posiadanym przez nich wykształceniem. Wskazuje na wyzwania w tym zakresie. To zupełnie nowa perspektywa poznawcza.

PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Badanie zostało przeprowadzone w marcu–kwietniu 2022 r. wśród 1481 uchodźców z Ukrainy, którzy przybyli do województwa opolskiego. Wykorzystano kwestionariusz ankiety przygotowany w języku ukraińskim, dane zbierano metodą pen and paper interview (PAPI) w urzędach gmin w regionie, a także w centrach zakwaterowania zbiorowego.

PROCES WYWODU: Artykuł rozpoczęto od przeglądu literatury odnoszącej się do badań w zakresie wykorzystania kwalifikacji uchodźców. Następnie omówiono metodę badawczą oraz scharakteryzowano badaną grupę. W kolejnej części omówiono wyniki badań i zawarto dyskusję na temat uwarunkowań i wyzwań dotyczących zatrudnienia uchodźców z perspektywy opolskiego rynku pracy. Zakończono podsumowaniem zawierającym rekomendacje.

WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Blisko połowa badanych uchodźców miała wyższe wykształcenie. Znajomość języka polskiego wśród uchodźców była słaba (30,7%), a nawet bardzo słaba (50,8%). Mimo tego niemal połowa z tej grupy osób (49,1%) chciała podjąć zatrudnienie. Wśród osób z bardzo dobrą znajomością języka było to 29,4%. Co więcej, pracowało już 8,4% osób ze słabą znajomością języka i niewiele więcej (11,8%) osób dobrze znających język polski. Wśród wyuczonych zawodów byli ekonomiści, psychologowie i pedagodzy i inżynierowie.

WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE, REKOMENDACJE: Zrealizowane badania wnoszą nową wiedzę w zakresie wyzwań związanych z wykorzystaniem kwalifikacji uchodźców z Ukrainy.. Ustalono, że do barier należą m.in. słaba znajomość języka polskiego oraz zakładana przez uchodźców nietrwałość pobytu (większość badanych planowała powrót do Ukrainy).
Media freedom in Ukraine in the context of constitutional reform
Authors: Palagnyuk Yuliana
Published: June 2023

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: This paper discusses whether there have been changes to ensure media freedom in Ukraine in the context of constitutional reform.

THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: This is comparative explanatory research. The author uses a process-tracing method and an observation method to analyze media freedom under the presidential-parliamentary republic during the second term of Kuchma’s presidency and under a parliamentary-presidential republic during Yushchenko’s presidency. I summarize descriptive statistics on such indicators of media freedom as political, economic, and legal environment according to the Freedom House data. I also use the analysis of scholars and other non-governmental organizations.

THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The analysis of the political situation in Ukraine explains the reasons for the constitutional reform and the democratization of the media system. I systematize data from the Freedom House reports on the indicators, present the results in a graphic form, and make conclusions from the comparisons.

RESEARCH RESULTS: The study shows that changing the political system to a parliamentary-presidential due to the Orange Revolution intensified reforms guaranteeing media freedom in Ukraine. However, the reforms were not at the level expected by the supporters of the Orange Revolution.

CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The introduction of the parliamentary-presidential model intensified the competition and conflicts between the presidential and parliamentary-government centers of power. It created polarized and chaotic conditions in journalists’ work. The legal environment for the media has not improved significantly. There was a reduction of political influence on the media. The improvement in the economic environment did not occur because the pressure exerted by the ruling elites on the mass media went from the political to the economic dimension.

Published: June 2023

With the increasing prevalence of smartphones, they now come equipped with a multitude of sensors such as GPS, microphones, cameras, magnetometers, accelerators, and more, which can simplify our daily lives. When it comes to healthcare, smartphones can become indispensable. The detection of geriatric falls is crucial as even the slightest injury can have fatal consequences. Therefore, we proposed the use of accelerometers in our research to detect falls in the elderly. Our project involved the development of an automated, continuous, and reliable monitoring system that would generate a list of elderly people at risk of falling and present it on a webpage for emergency services. This approach aimed to minimize the long-term impacts and save lives promptly. We started by developing a mobile application and used MATLAB to classify the falls as either "fall" or "not fall." Finally, we created a webpage that would facilitate communication between the mobile application and MATLAB.

Automated monitoring of the presence of such particles present near the main operational means of production or medical equipment with the determination of their trajectories is necessary to improve the efficiency of this equipment and the quality of operations. When performing measurements of the parameters of abstract objects of different origin and properties, for example, at precise parts production, problems of contamination of the surface of the object with discrete particles of another origin are often encountered. It is now known that every abstract entity forms around the area of the presence of solid particles. These solid particles, under the action of interaction forces, have the property to be ordered in space and on the surface of the object. This paper is a result of research and modelling of the interaction of such particles during their shredding and their structural self-organization. Severally consideration is given to the formation of dust layers under the action of coupling forces is reviewed. Models of behaviour of these layers for some typical surface forms of control object are created.

The article proposes a scheme of the process of manufacturing bimetallic tubular elements by extraction a cylindrical cup of two dissimilar metals without thinning and extraction with thinning cup. At the same time, in the process of extraction in the heated state, the layers of dissimilar metals and alloys are connected and the desired shape of the product is obtained. A mathematical model of deformation of the process of joint extraction with thinning of two dissimilar metals with heating in a flat deformed state is developed. The influence of the deformation value on the dispersion of mechanical energy by bimetal was revealed.

(100)/(001)-oriented tetragonal Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 films with different thicknesses of 400 nm, 1000 nm, 1700 nm, and 2000 nm were epitaxially grown on (100)
c
SrRuO3//(100)Pt//(100)ZrO2//Si(100) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Their ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated by polarization–electric field and strain–electric field measurements with increasing maximum strength of an applied electric field in a triangular wave. The macroscopic piezoelectric response was quantitatively analyzed with respect to the intrinsic and extrinsic contributions based on in situ X-ray diffraction results under an electric field. The domain switching from the (100)- to the (001)-oriented domain and the out-of-plane lattice compression in the (100)-oriented domain were clearly observed under an electric field, while the out-of-plane lattice deformation of the (001)-oriented domain was negligibly small. Furthermore, the effective piezoelectric response due to domain switching increased with the increasing the film thickness, which is attributed to the decrease in the constraint with the increasing film thickness imposed by the substrate.

La investigación pretendió valorar el impacto del proceso de visualización y el uso de los cuentos infantiles en el favorecimiento y desarrollo de habilidades geométricas en niños de transición de la Institución Educativa Distrital Álvaro Gómez Hurtado (Bogotá, Colombia). Fue una investigación de tipo transversal, cuasi-experimental con un enfoque mixto. Para lograr este objetivo se eligió un grupo control y otro experimental, en donde participaron 25 niños en cada uno de ellos, con edades entre 5 y 6 años. Los 50 niños realizaron las actividades propuestas en un instrumento (pre test y post test), el cual tuvo un proceso de validación con otro grupo de estudiantes. Para la puesta en práctica de la intervención se diseñaron ocho sesiones, con el fin de desarrollar en cada una de ellas aspectos de la visualización geométrica o formas de ver en geometría a través de las cuatro entradas clásicas de la geometría bajo la perspectiva de Duval. Como principal resultado se encontró que los niños lograron desarrollar habilidades geométricas en las diferentes entradas clásicas de la geometría (Botánico, Agrimensor, Constructor e Inventor), especialmente en las dos primeras. De igual forma, las actividades propuestas a partir del contenido de los cuentos infantiles, además de ser significativas y motivantes para los niños, permitieron realizar procesos donde a través de diferentes fases se favoreció el desarrollo de competencias en su pensamiento geométrico y por ende espacial. Así mismo, la participación de los padres de familia en el proceso permitió que ellos motivaran a los niños por medio de actividades que se plantearon para que compartieran en familia aprendizajes en torno a la geometría. Finalmente, se invita a los docentes de todos los grados de escolaridad a que realicen investigaciones que promuevan el desarrollo de las habilidades geométricas de una manera dinámica, significativa, donde los estudiantes sean constructores de sus propios conocimientos y el docente sea facilitador y acompañante de dichos procesos. Se espera que el desarrollo de esta investigación sirva como material de apoyo en la realización de nuevas investigaciones que aporten al conocimiento, especialmente al geométrico.

Background: End stage renal disease (ESRD) patients are vulnerable to contract corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19), and they have higher risk of deterioration and mortality rate compared to general population. There are studies on COVID-19 in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients showing the low rates of deterioration, most of which did not develop into severe pneumonia.
Objective: Compare the clinical, laboratory, and radiological findings in COVID-19 patients with and without ESRD and to identify the mortality risk factors in those with ESRD.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study involving 87 COVID-19 patients, consisted of 43 ESRD and 44 non-ESRD. Data taken included age, gender, the amount of co-morbid, oxygen saturation when they first arrived, COVID 19 symptoms (mild/moderate/severe-critical), and the data of patients who died.
Result: Severe-critical clinical manifestations of COVID-19 were more common in those with ESRD vs those without (p=0.012). However, the mortality was not significantly different. Absolute neutrophil count and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were significantly higher in those with ESRD. As many as 24% COVID patients died, in which 11% are ESRD patients, and 13% non-ESRD. Multivariate analysis showed that NLR ≥1 had 1.3 times higher death risk compared to NLR<1.
Conclusion: Severe-critical clinical manifestations of COVID-19 were more commonly found in ESRD patients. The mortality rate was not significantly different between the ESRD and non-ESRD. In COVID-19 patients with ESRD, NLR ≥1 had 1.3 times higher death risk compared to NLR<1. High NLR is a risk factor for higher mortality in ESRD patients.
A rare case of primary tuberculosis complex in the abdomen
Authors: Asikin Mira Delima , Susanto Dhessy
Published: June 2023

Cutaneous tuberculosis (CTB) is the rarest form of tuberculosis (TB). CTB cases account for less than 1% of all TB cases and about 15% of all extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) cases. CTB is rare even in communities where it is endemic. CTB has a variety of manifestations and can appear similar to other disease processes. Therefore, many clinicians have difficulty recognizing CTB because CTB is known to be a great imitator. We present an unusual case of CTB which happened to be a primary tuberculous complex (PTC) manifested as an ulcerated abdomen in a 33-year-old woman. Previous medications received showed no improvement and referred to the hospital for further treatment. Histopathology of the skin lesion showed fibrous connective tissue that contained granulomas composed by epithelioid histiocytes, lymphocytes, plasma cells, and multinucleated giant cells. Patients were given therapy in the form of a fixed-dose combination of antituberculosis drugs (fixed-dose combination/FDC) and vitamin B6. Despite being rare,PTC is important to consider in patients with suggestive clinical pictures of the infection.
