Metástasis séptica en quiste de Baker como complicación tras radiofrecuencia de cornetes
Authors: Gómez-Tomé María Estrella , Zabaleta-López Marta , Ibáñez-Muñoz Cristina , García-Pila Marta , Clemente-Cuartero Belén , Muñoz-Delgado Carmen
Published: February 2023

Introducción: El quiste de Baker o quiste poplíteo es una colección anormal de líquido sinovial en la bursa gastrocnemio-semimembranosa de la rodilla, habitualmente asintomática, asociada normalmente a patología articular. Tiene una prevalencia del 5 al 38%. Su complicación más frecuente es la ruptura, mientras que la infección es muy poco común, pudiendo asociarse a artritis séptica. El diagnóstico se realiza mediante ecografía y la resonancia magnética nuclear (RMN) es el gold estándar para el estudio de sus complicaciones. La punción guiada por ecografía realiza una descompresión del quiste y permite obtener material para la realización de cultivos, siendo el S. aureus el microorganismo más frecuentemente aislado. Requiere un tratamiento antibiótico prolongado por el riesgo de artritis séptica asociado.
Método: Presentamos el caso de un varón de 64 años valorado en consultas de Otorrinolaringología por obstrucción nasal crónica. Como antecedentes personales destacan hipertensión arterial, dislipemia e intervención por meniscopatía de rodilla derecha hace 15 años. A la exploración se evidenció hipertrofia de cornetes, indicándose turbinoplastia por radiofrecuencia. La intervención se realizó sin incidencias, sin requerir taponamiento nasal y se pautó pomada con antibiótico tópico (bacitracina y neomicina). A los dos días el paciente presenta gonalgia derecha con tumefacción y eritema y fiebre de 38.5º. Se realiza ecografía en la que se aprecia un quiste de Baker complicado de 7x3 cm. Se realiza drenaje de material purulento en el que se aisla S. aureus sensible a meticilina (SAMS). Ante la sospecha de bacteriemia por SAMS tras turbinoplastia se decide solicitar ecocardiograma para descartar endocarditis infecciosa, sin observarse lesiones. Debido al riesgo asociado de artritis séptica se pauta tratamiento con cloxacilina IV 12mg/24h durante 2 semanas y posteriormente levofloxacino 500mg/24h durante 4 semanas. El paciente presentó una evolución favorable encontrándose actualmente asintomático.
Conclusiones: La infección del quiste de Baker es una complicación muy poco frecuente encontrándose pocos casos documentados en la literatura. Deben estudiarse posibles focos de entrada de microorganismos, como en nuestro caso la cirugía nasal, que puedan producir una bacteriemia que asiente en el quiste.

Introducción y objetivo: La enfermedad de Kikuchi-Fujimoto (EKF) o linfadenitis necrotizante no granulocítica fue descrita por primera vez en 1972 en mujeres jóvenes japonesas, sin embargo actualmente se han visto casos tanto en distintas etnias como países. La etiología es desconocida, aunque se postula que podría tener un origen autoinmune o por infecciones virales, siendo los resultados de los estudios sobre la etiología viral inconsistentes.Método: Paciente de 41 años que presenta 2 adenopatías laterocervicales derechas dolorosas que aumentan de tamaño progresivamente. No presenta fiebre, sudores nocturnos ni pérdida de peso asociada. No refiere otra clínica.Resultados: En la exploración se palpan adenopatías laterocervicales derechas de 1,5cm, blanda, móvil y no adherida con el resto de la exploración dentro de la normalidad. Se realizó análisis de sangre, incluyendo proteinograma, estudio de autoinmunidad y serología de VHB, VHC, VIH, CMV, VVZ, VEB, Rubeola, Toxoplasma y Treponema pallidum. Todas ellas con resultado negativo. Se decide realizar ecografía con PAAF de la misma con el resultado compatible con linfadenitis histiocítica necrotizante o linfadenitis de kikuchi. Se decide realizar exéresis del ganglio, confirmando el diagnóstico y posterior tratamiento conservador.Discusión: La EKF es una forma benigna y autolimitada de linfadenitis necrotizante, existiendo una recurrencia del 15% hasta 8 años tras la clínica inicial. Entre el 60-90% de los pacientes presentan adenopatías posterocervicales dolorosas a la palpación, que se pueden asociar a síntomas B sistémicos. En el diagnóstico diferencial debemos incluir las linfadenitis de origen infeccioso, linfomas y enfermedades autoinmunes como el lupus eritematoso sistémico. El diagnóstico definitivo es el examen histológico de una adenopatía, en la que se observa hiperplasia reactiva con focos de necrosis paracortical con detritus celulares, rodeados por infiltrado inflamatorio de linfocitos CD4+, histiocitos CD68 y escasa presencia de polimorfonucleares neutrófilos y células plasmáticas. El tratamiento más habitual es la observación, y en caso de pacientes muy sintomáticos pueden beneficiarse de la administración de corticoides o antiinflamatorios no esteroideos.Conclusiones: La EKF se debe incluir en el diagnóstico diferencial de un paciente que presenta linfoadenopatías cervicales y fiebre de origen desconocido. A pesar de su carácter autolimitado y resolución completa en la mayoría de los casos, existe el riesgo de progresión a una enfermedad autoinmune o de una recidiva. El diagnóstico definitivo es el examen histológico.

Published: February 2023

Introducción y objetivo: La pandemia Covid ha provocado, además del ingente número de infectados con secuelas y fallecidos, una crisis económica de severas repercusiones que, sumada a las limitaciones en términos de interacción social en los periodos de confinamiento, puede desencadenar o acentuar patologías psiquiátricas en algunas personas. La máxima expresión de alguno de estos trastornos es el suicidio, como en el caso que presentamos.
Método: Varón de 55 años con antecedente depresivo en 2008 que fue resuelto con medicación y apoyo psicológico. Como consecuencia del cierre de su negocio por la pandemia, sumado a problemas familiares, sufre una recaída en su ánimo depresivo, lo que le lleva (septiembre 2020) a intentar quitarse la vida provocándose graves lesiones craneales por golpes y varias heridas en las muñecas y el cuello con un cuchillo de grandes dimensiones. Se desconocían sus antecedentes y que estaba infectado por Covid, dato que fue comprobado en la PCR de cribado cuando ya estaba en el quirófano.
Al ingreso comprobamos la presencia de un cuchillo de grandes dimensiones (18 X3 cm de hoja) profundamente clavado en el lado izquierdo del cuello, desde en nivel del tiroides al cóndilo occipital, así como otras heridas incisas en ambas muñecas y lado derecho del cuello, y un extenso scalp por heridas inciso contusas craneales, que no provocaron fracturas.
Tras una TC urgente es trasladado al quirófano, y se practicó una traqueotomía reglada y se extrajo el cuchillo, que atravesaba la faringe y el suelo de la boca y se alojaba en el cóndilo occipital izquierdo, y se revisaron y suturaron todas las heridas y espacios cervicales seccionados
12 días después es dado de alta en UCI y trasladado a la planta de Psiquiatría por empeoramiento. Tras 2 meses de ingreso fue dado de alta.
Discusión: Se presenta este caso de grave episodio psiquiátrico con intento autolítico que precisó cirugía cervical urgente, para ilustrar alguno de los efectos colaterales de la pandemia Covid que, de forma tangencial, precisó nuestra atención como cirujanos de cabeza y cuello.
Conclusiones: La pandemia Covid, está provocando también un afloramiento y agravamiento de trastornos psiquiátricos, que está llevando a algunos pacientes a la decisión de suicidarse.

A huszadik századi magyar gondolkodásban és kultúrában kiemelkedően

Do Patients With Arterial Occlusive Disease of Different Etiologies Benefit Equally From Cilostazol?
Authors: Can Depboylu Burak , Yazman Serkan , Harmandar Bugra , Funda Tetik Muruvvet , Istar Hande , Arslan Kadir , Ilhan Gokhan
Published: February 2023

Background

Cilostazol is a guideline-recommended drug that improves intermittent claudication and quality of life in patients with chronic atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease. The drug is used for most etiologies of arterial occlusive diseases in clinical practice. This study aimed to evaluate whether patients benefit equally from cilostazol regardless of etiology.

Methods

Patients on cilostazol were divided into 4 groups according to arterial occlusive disease etiology: (1) atherosclerosis, (2) diabetic angiopathy, (3) embolism/thrombosis, and (4) Buerger disease. Patients' maximum walking distance, ankle-brachial index score and distal tissue oxygen saturation (Sto2), clinical improvement onset time, ability to reach maximum benefit time, vascular surgeries, and wounds were compared before they started cilostazol and after 12 months. Results were evaluated at a statistical significance of P < .05.

Results

In 194 patients, 307 target extremities were evaluated in the 4 disease groups. After cilostazol use, maximum walking distance, ankle-brachial index score, and distal Sto2 increased significantly in all groups (P < .001), but distal Sto2 in the diabetic angiopathy and Buerger disease groups was significantly lower than in the atherosclerosis group (P < .001). Ankle-brachial index and distal Sto2 differences in the Buerger disease group were significantly lower (both P < .001). The vascular surgery counts decreased significantly in the atherosclerosis and embolism/thrombosis groups (P = .019 and P = .004, respectively).

Conclusion

Patients with nonatherosclerotic arterial occlusive disease also benefit from cilostazol, but patients with Buerger disease or diabetic angiopathy seem to benefit less. Combining cilostazol with anticoagulant or antiaggregant agents and closer monitoring of these patients may produce better results.

The presence of seagrass ecosystems is an important coastal ecosystem and a massive carbon sink. This study aims to determine the condition of seagrass and the carbon content of seagrass vegetation on Sintok Island and Menjangan Besar Island, Karimunjawa. Observation of seagrass ecosystem using LIPI method with 50x50cm quadrant transect. Seagrass tissue sampling was carried out randomly at each location using a seagrasscore tool. Calculation of carbon content in each seagrass tissue using Loss on Ignition (LOI method). There are 4 species of seagrass found on Sintok Island, while on Menjangan Besar Island there are 6 species. Sintok Island has a medium percent cover category and Menjangan Besar Island has a high percent cover category. The value of carbon storage on Sintok Island ranged from 2.59 – 61.07 gC/m2 while on Menjangan Besar Island it ranged from 5.97 – 404.57 gC/m2. In the Sintok Island, the largest value of carbon storage was Thalassia hemprichii and in the Menjangan Besar Island was held by Enhalus acoroides species. Good ecosystem conditions increase the ability of seagrass ecosystems to absorb carbon and mitigate global warming.

Miłosna dokładność: czytając wiersze Marcina Świetlickiego (zapis eseju mówionego)
Authors: Próchniak Paweł
Published: February 2023

Autor przedstawia całościowe odczytanie poezji Marcina Świetlickiego – kładąc akcent na modelującej roli gestu otwarcia twórczej drogi poety oraz wydobywając kluczowe wątki i figury wyobraźni organizujące jego dzieło. Jednocześnie prezentuje taką strategię lektury, która – performatywnie, za sprawą interpretacyjnych pasaży – wchodzi w rezonans z praktyką poetycką Świetlickiego i pozwala wybrzmieć zwłaszcza tym modalnościom jego wierszy, które ufundowane zostały na egzystencjalnie zakorzenionych formach „obecności” i na związanych z nimi uobecnieniach „głosu”. Uchwyceniu tych rejestrów poezji autora Schizmy służy również wykorzystana przez Próchniaka forma eseju mówionego.

Moc Słowiańszczyzny, siła fantazmatu
Authors: Brzóstowicz-Klajn Monika
Published: February 2023

Artykuł przedstawia zjawisko popularności motywów słowiańskich w najnowszej polskiej kulturze popularnej. Jego celem jest pokazanie zmian w podejściu do Słowiańszczyzny po 1989 roku. Punktem wyjścia jest koncepcja krytyki fantazmatycznej Marii Janion i refleksja nad zmianą współcześnie podejścia do tradycji romantycznej, by stworzyć nowe narracje o polskiej tożsamości, w których ważna może być Słowiańszczyzna pojęta jako fantazmat. Dlatego obok form pisarstwa historycznego coraz większą rolę odgrywają różne rodzaje twórczości fantastycznej. Kluczowe są dwa stanowiska: sceptyczne wobec możliwości stworzenia słowiańskiej fantastyki (Andrzeja Sapkowskiego) oraz kreatywne, zafascynowane słowiańskim dziedzictwem (Marii Janion). Artykuł kończy propozycja interpretacji mody na Słowiańszczyznę w odniesieniu do badań z kręgu teorii widmologii.
We władzy Peruna. Mitologia i wierzenia dawnych Słowian i ich współczesnych wcieleń w filmie polskim
Authors: Nowakowski Jacek
Published: February 2023

Artykuł opisuje i analizuje ekranowy wizerunek Słowian obecny w rodzimym filmie w kontekście ich wierzeń i mitologii, przeważnie zderzonych z chrystianizacją ziem polskich. Filmowcy w większości utworów starali się łączyć perspektywę legendarną, fantastyczną z wydarzeniami i realiami historycznymi. Tak jest w adaptacji powieści I. Kraszewskiego Stara baśń dokonanej przez J. Hoffmana oraz filmach Gniazdo (gdzie ważna była kwestia ideologii państwa tzw. Polski Ludowej) i Krew Boga (w czasach współczesnych, bez trybutu płaconego władzy). W utworach, w których mowa o współczesnych losach dawnej mitologii spotykamy dwa modele. Niekiedy (w filmach Jana Jakuba Kolskiego z uniwersum Jańciolandu) słowiańskie wierzenia są ukryte pod dominującą religijnością katolicką, naiwną, ludową, która nie wyrugowała do końca dawnej wiary. Z kolei w cyklach telewizyjnych Legendy Polskie Allegro oraz Krakowskie potwory dla Netfliksa mamy do czynienia ze współczesnymi wcieleniami mitów i legend słowiańskich i ściśle polskich. W produkcji Allegro postawiono na pastisz i ludyczny charakter opowiadania, w serialu platformy streamingowej Netflix próbowano mówić językiem poważnym o obecności danych bóstw we współczesnej metropolii. Oba sposoby dały niedoskonałe artystycznie rezultaty, ale gatunkowo i fabularnie wskazują na kierunek, jakim podążyć mogą kolejne realizacje tematu.
Mimo princip zodpovĕdnosti. Schizofrenické evangelium Bohumila Hrabala v interpretaci Józefa Tischnera
Authors: Firlej Agata
Published: February 2023

The article is devoted to the story The Schizophrenic Gospel by Bohumil Hrabal and a little-known interpretation of this prose bythe famous Polish philosopher and theologian Józef Tischner. Plato, Hegel, Berkeley, Heidegger: these four names in Tischner‘s work lead to Hrabal‘s thinking and his gospel. The philosopher discusses in detail the specific perception of reality which according to him is transformed into a phenomenon or image of reality in Hrabal‘s prose, and as such acquires the same status as the reality of a dream. This approach can be combined with surrealism and phenomenology. Philosophy and literature evaluate the most phenomena irreversibly and undeniably; recurring events and events that do not involve visible changes or consequences are usually neglected. They do not require answers, so they do not mean responsibility. Hrabal writes about such aworld “outside the principle of responsibility“ in his Gospel, and Tischner in his interpretation.
Easternisation and Enlightenment. Larry Wolff, Marquis de Ségur and the Younger Europe
Authors: Junkiert Maciej
Published: February 2023

The article describes two accounts of Poland and the culture of its people. The first of these dates from 1784 and was written by the Marquis de Ségur, a French diplomat travelling to St Petersburg. The second, from 1840, was written by the Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz, at the time working as a professor at the Collège de France in Paris. I try to show the most important differences between the Enlightenment and Romantic images of Poland. An important context is provided by Larry Wolff’s monograph, which 30 years ago initiated a new phase in research on the European invention of Eastern Europe.
The Geography of Childhood and Affective Archetypes: A DiscursiveMythological Approach to the Representations of Serbia in British and American Interwar Travel Accounts
Authors: Lazarević Radak Sanja
Published: February 2023

One of the key representations of Serbia between the two world wars in British and American travel accounts is the one about a child. Set in the context of Orientalism and postcolonial tradition this representation is usually interpreted as infantilization that reflects the marginalization and symbolic position of Serbia and the Balkans outside the mainstream of world politics and economy. As the academic discourse is mostly occupied with orientalism and postcolonialism, this paper focuses on symbolic and mythological potential of the discourse analysis about Serbia—“the child of Europe.” The paper analyses three forms of infantilization of Serbia in the interwar travel accounts, while each chapter is dedicated to specific form of infantilization: 1. Serbia as an orphan of Europe; 2. Serbs as medieval people (unspoiled by civilization and vital); 3. Their “temperament” reveals cultural, and thus, political immaturity. The analysis is based on Darren Kelsey’s discursive-mythological approach and it draws a conclusion about the interconnection between the child’s image, culture, historical circumstances, internal/external representation and affective archetypes.
Ballads and Legends: Media Transformations of Canonical Narratives in Polish and Czech Culture
Authors: Jedličková Alice , Kos Matěj
Published: February 2023

The paper presents a comparative interpretation of recent Czech and Polish transmediations of canonical literary texts and architexts: ballads by K. J. Erben and Polish legends and folk tales, which are generally regarded as representations of both timeless and historical national values. The theoretical framework is built upon the theory of intermediality introduced by W. Wolf and I. O. Rajewsky, the concept of media modalities developed by L. Elleström, and current multimodal research represented by J. Bruhn and others. The transmediations (a film, a crowdfunded comic book, a series of short films employed as online advertisements) are not only subject to analysis of media-specific strategies involved in the artistic transformations; the authors´ motivations, the economic conditions under which the examined media products were made, and the modes of their distribution and participation in cultural communication are taken into account as well. The results of the analysis illuminate the strong influence of the multimedia environment, of the generic frames of individual media and the strategies that authors of the transmediations use to attain success with audiences

Social Anhedonia and Intergroup Processes: A Multi-Study Investigation of Known and Novel Group Memberships
Authors: Snyder Madeline E. , Chen Jacqueline M. , Martin Elizabeth A.
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Group memberships play an important role in promoting psychological well-being and supporting social functioning. However, studies suggest that individuals with social anhedonia, a characteristic defined by limited pleasure from social bonds, may show abnormalities in their desire to cultivate positive feelings, such as belongingness, from social groups. Still, these abnormalities have not been studied in the context of intergroup processes, leaving the relation between social anhedonia and subjective evaluations of group memberships unclear. Methods: Across three studies (Ns = 124-659), we examined associations between social anhedonia and affective and cognitive attitudes about different types of ingroups and outgroups using self-report and behavioral measures. Results: Taken together, results indicate that social anhedonia is associated with less positive and more negative feelings and beliefs about most ingroups and outgroups from everyday life, as well as negatively biased stereotyping of many prominent social groups. At the same time, individuals with either extremely high or low levels of social anhedonia did not report significantly different intergroup attitudes when group memberships were experimentally manipulated in a minimal group setting. Discussion: Overall, these findings suggest that social anhedonia is associated with less positive and more negative subjective evaluations of long-established, real-world ingroups, but not of a newly formed ingroup that requires little motivation or social engagement to maintain group membership. Aberrant feelings and attitudes toward one's ingroups are consistent with the theory that social anhedonia is related to anomalies in the need to belong within social groups from everyday life and could inform psychosocial interventions for related psychopathologies.

The United States still has one of the lowest evolution acceptance rates in the world. Biology educators have been diligent in their methods to increase evolution acceptance and knowledge, with much success. However, misconceptions still arise through education, textbooks, and even social and religious settings that may influence our citizens’ low evolution acceptance rates. Much research has been done on such misconceptions. But with new technology and electronic advances, we now have a wide variety of information available at our fingertips. Advents such as social media, popular culture, and smart devices may incorporate new and unique misconceptions not seen before in evolution education. We see a younger generation raised in an era where they may experience a bombardment of evolution misconceptions daily, from the games they play to the posts or memes they read on social media. Research into these effects is lacking but may be essential to push the boundaries of evolution education into the future.

Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is understood as the persistent use of substances to the detriment of the individual's livelihood and wellness. SUD can have serious mental, physical, and social ramifications if not properly addressed. Though SUD can develop at any age, it is especially important to address in adolescents, given the rising prevalence of certain substances (e.g. cannabis) in that age group and the poor prognosis associated with early-onset SUD[1][2]. Data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health show the lifetime use of illicit drugs in people ages 12-17 is 20.9%[3] The same survey found the rate of Substance Use Disorder in the past year for people ages 12-17 who used illicit drugs or alcohol to be 6.3% in 2020[3]. This paper is intended for clinicians and laypeople to gain a deeper understanding of SUD in adolescents, particularly relating to alcohol, cannabis, nicotine, and opioids. Though alcohol, cannabis, and nicotine are the substances most commonly used by this age demographic nationally[4], opioid use – and resulting deaths – have been on the rise. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), opioids were connected to about 75% of the nearly 92,000 drug deaths in 2020[5]. Beyond significant death rates in the general population, recent spikes in adolescent death rates tied to the synthetic opioid fentanyl – which held a relatively stable death rate from 2010 to 2019 until seeing a 94% increase from 2019 to 2020 and an additional 20% increase to 2021 - warrants inquiry into opioids for this population[6]. Each of these substances can have adverse, long-lasting effects on health if not managed properly, resulting in seriously compromised lifelong well-being [7]. This article explores SUD prevalence and reviews diagnostic criteria in relation to adolescence, including a synopsis of changes in SUD classification between the DSM-IV and DSM-5 and a discussion of ICD-11 and the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) as a basis for research related to substance use. Effective assessment and consideration of co-occurring disorders are covered as well. Although the prognosis of SUD varies by an individual's environment and circumstances, a modal developmental course for SUD is discussed. Finally, a curated list of nationally recognized resources including hotlines, treatment locators, informational sites, and support groups are provided, along with tools to compile local resources. By addressing these aspects of adolescent SUD, the research team offers a broader view of its prevalence in the United States, key warning signs and comorbidities, and possible assessments and treatments for adolescents with SUD.
Space-time analysis of the longitudinal variation in wood specific gravity of teak and its effect on tree growth and development
Authors: Adutwum Jerry Oppong , Sakagami Hiroki , Koga Shinya , Matsumura Junji
Published: February 2023

The space-time structure of a teak wood specific gravity (SG) dataset was analyzed using a mixed-effects model. Spatial correlation increased in space, a phenomenon attributable to the maturation of apical meristems, while the temporal correlation of vascular meristems decreased over time. The decay of temporal correlation over time was attributed to the diminishing crown effect on the later formed wood further away from the pith, morphogen gradient, and probably changing microenvironmental conditions. The Kronecker product was used to collect spatiotemporal data on the intricate dynamic process of the evolution of the apical and lateral meristems. The results showed that height and relative radial distance (RRD) (i.e., the flow of time with wood formation) were statistically significant factors, with their interaction showing no significance. The results confirm the usefulness of using the space-time approach to elucidate the interaction between the apical and lateral meristems, two major inherent biological systems that control tree growth and wood formation dynamics. To understand the origins of patterns that vary both temporally and spatially in the tree, future work should describe the variation of SG within the tree due to increasing height (space) and diameter (age) as a matrix; then the correlation function can be modelled.
HFFB Test and Wind-Induced Vibration Analysis on 1 000 kV Transformer Frame

Published: February 2023

In order to propose a complete, wind-resistant design method for ultra-high voltage (UHV) transformer frames, the wind-induced vibration characteristics of a 1 000 kV transformer frame (TF1000) were studied using a high-frequency force balance (HFFB) test. Five section models and one whole model of the TF1000 were designed and constructed using 3D printing, and these were evaluated in a wind tunnel by means of HFFB tests for multiple loading scenarios. The finite element method (FEM) was used on the test data to analyze the wind-induced vibration on the TF1000. The results demonstrate that the shape factor of the TF1000 is significantly affected by the flow field type and solidity ratio; the minimum value occurs when the wind direction is between 30 and 45°. Moreover, all the shape factor values obtained by the test are larger than those established by the Chinese code. The wind-induced vibration analysis indicates that the most unfavorable wind direction for the TF1000 is approximately 60°, with a wind-induced vibration coefficient between 1,7 and 3,9.
Protocol to Monitor Water Governance Based on Indicators for Rural Basins

Published: February 2023

The use of quality indicators guarantees the accurate monitoring of sustainability processes around the world. This work proposes a protocol to detail the indicators that make up the rural basin management index (GWI) in order to assess the degree of water management in a predominantly rural basin or region. The methodology contemplates the development of indicators to evaluate performance and its monitoring over time as the basis for planning. This research is based on the in situ evaluation of four municipalities within the department of Boyacá, Colombia, where there is a lack of a culture regarding the long-term planning and management of water and environmental resources. Water availability is the most sensitive factor in this context. This study raises the need for the use of monitoring systems in sustainability processes at the level of rural basins, as a result of the findings of four study cases, where processes with a low level of sustainability were evidenced.
Electric Vehicles and the Use of Demand Projection Models: A Systematic Mapping of Studies
Authors: Lagos Dafne Consuelo , Mancilla Vargas Rodrigo Andrés , Reinecke Carolina , Leal Paola
Published: February 2023

In today’s world, electric vehicles have become a real solution to the problem of pollution caused by petrol and diesel-powered vehicles. However, incorporating them successfully into the global vehicle park poses new challenges. Some of these challenges have to do with meeting the electricity demand, providing the physical installations for charging, and the size and capacity of the electric grid required to deliver the necessary supply. Solving these new problems requires determining or projecting the electrical and/or physical requirements involved, but there is no single model or methodology to do this, nor any single document which summarizes the existing information. To address this situation, this work presents the result of a systematic mapping study that seeks to provide organized information about the (mathematical) models for the demand arising from electric vehicles, as well as to answer a series of questions posed for this research. The results obtained show that there is a wide variety of models used to determine demand requirements –of either physical or electrical elements– in which mathematical modelling and operations research tools are normally used. Other results indicate that demand models are mainly focused on the electrical requirements rather than on physical ones, and that, in most cases, the type of vehicle for which the demand is studied is not mentioned.
The academic impact of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia's Faculty of Engineering on the Bogota campus
Authors: Bogoya Daniel
Published: February 2023

An analysis regarding the quality of higher education programmes in Colombia is presented by comparing students' scores from a given institution on the ECAES 2009 test to students' performance throughout the country. The analysis uses the value-added concept as applied to the academic world, this being obtained by using a regression model to ascertain the difference between the students' scores from a given faculty programme and the corresponding scores for students throughout Colombia; the higher education admission test was used to control initial results with results achieved by the same individuals on this test., A case study was proposed to illustrate the methodology by considering the Faculty of Engineering programmes at the Universidad Nacional in Bogota. Two different approaches were followed; the first used the generated function between SABER 11 and ECAES test scores and the second added institutional results by using the mean of the scores. The aforementioned Faculty of Engineering ratifies its relevance and importance as all its programmes come within the greater academic value-added area.
The engineering faculty today: an approach towards consolidating academic indicators
Authors: Hernán Hernán , Gallego Luis , Rodríguez N. Gerardo
Published: February 2023

This paper presents analysis related to some key academic aspects in the Universidad Nacional de Colombia's Engineering Faculty on the Bogota campus. The paper has focused on three academic stages: admission, students' academic performance throughout their studies (curriculum) and our students' results in the ECAES exam. Regarding admission, this paper has analysed our intake students' heterogeneity, their behaviour during the different components of the admission exam and analysed the schools providing the most students and which may receive detailed feedback from our faculty. On the topic of curriculum (i.e. overall academic performance during the whole course of studies), this paper has analysed each programme's desertion rates (average and accumulated) and different courses' academic failure rates and has evaluated the effect of socioeconomic conditions on academic performance. This paper has also analysed our students' behaviour during the different components of the ECAES exam. Lastly, this paper has described some of the actions achieved by the faculty's board of directors aimed at addressing some of the academic issues analysed in this document.
Dynamic research groups: the case of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia's Faculty of Engineering
Authors: Monroy Varela Sonia Esperanza
Published: February 2023

This article was aimed at analysing the dynamics of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia's Faculty of Engineering' research groups in Bogotá from three different perspectives. The first was related to the research groups' academic and scientific productivity according to COLCIENCIAS' measurement model which ranks groups into five categories: A1, A, B, C and D. The second analysed the groups as management and knowledge generationunits, aiming to improve institutional/organisational development and learning. The third perspective adopted complexity theory's point of view which is related to the diversity of heterogeneous elements which are inseparably associated with a specific situation in which the whole consists of the interacting parts which, in turn, are in contact with the whole and with their environment.

Published: February 2023

This paper presents a study regarding the introduction of distributed generation (DG) within the Colombian power system by considering commercial, environmental and technical incentives. Environmental and commercial incentives were quantified by studying international precedents for implementing DG. Technical incentives were quantified by taking into consideration the remuneration received by generator agents providing automatic generation control (AGC), since this is the only ancillary service recognized in Colombia. A system dynamics model was built to evaluate the complete proposal. The study found that the current incentives proposed in Colombian regulation, such as tax breaks, are insufficient to cover total costs. Moreover, environmental incentives can be an efficient way of promoting renewable energy use in Colombia to achieve more generating capacity with lower pollution indices. Similarly, technical incentives, in conjunction with environmental incentives, can further improve DG growth in Colombia. The diffusion of DG thus becomes an additional tool for the operator of the interconnected system for controlling voltage and improving the quality and security of electrical power systems.
Portable High Voltage Impulse Generator
Authors: Gómez S. , Buitrago M. P. , Roldán F. A.
Published: February 2023

This paper presents a portable high voltage impulse generator which was designed and built with insulation up to 20 kV. This design was based on previous work in which simulation software for standard waves was developed. Commercial components and low-cost components were used in this work; however, these particular elements are not generally used for high voltage applications. The impulse generators used in industry and laboratories are usually expensive; they are built to with stand extra high voltage and they are big, making them impossible to transport. The proposed generator is portable, thereby allowing tests to be made on devices that cannot be moved from their location. The results obtained with the proposed impulse generator were satisfactory in terms of time and wave forms compared to other commercial impulse generators and the standard impulse wave simulator.
