Authors: Xie Weibin , Fuki Masaaki , Sukegawa Ayana , Okunaka Kenji , Hayashi Masahiko , Kobori Yasuhiro , Matsubara Ryosuke
Published: August 2024

The use of renewable solar energy for the photochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) has garnered significant interest owing to its dual benefits: reducing the greenhouse effect and producing high-energy alternatives to fossil fuels. Transition metals play a crucial role in catalyzing the CO2RR; however, their scarcity and high cost pose significant challenges in achieving sustainable chemistry. In this study, we developed a metal-free CO2RR catalytic system using triazolium, a small and structurally simple compound, as the key catalyst. Visible-light irradiation of a solution containing a carbazole photosensitizer and triazolium salt under 1 atm pressure of CO2 afforded formate in high yield at room temperature. No other reduced products of CO2 or by-products such as methanol, formaldehyde, oxalate, CO, or H2 were detected. The turnover number of the catalyst exceeded 2300, indicating high catalytic activity and durability. Mechanistic studies revealed that the triazolium salt serves as a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalyst, with a carbon-centered radical as the catalytically active species. A study on the relationship between the chemical structure and catalytic activity of various triazolium analogs elucidated the essential structural properties required for carbon-centered HAT catalysts. The results of this study provide valuable insights for future research on CO2RR utilizing transition-metal-free organic molecules as catalysts, which could significantly contribute to environmentally friendly and sustainable methods.

Dynamic covalent polymer networks exhibit a cross-linked structure like conventional thermosets and elastomers, although their topology can be reorganized by thermoactivated bond exchange. This characteristic enables a unique combination of repairability, recyclability and dimensional stability, crucial for a sustainable industrial economy. We herein report the application of a photoswitchable nitrogen superbase for the spatially resolved and reversible control over dynamic bond exchange within a thiol-ene photopolymer. By the exposure to UV or visible light, we successfully gain control over the associative exchange between thioester links and thiol groups, and thereby the macroscopic mechanical material properties, in a locally controlled manner. Consequently, the resulting reorganization of the global network topology enables us to utilize our material for previously unrealizable advanced applications such as spatially resolved, reversible reshaping as well as micro-imprinting over multiple steps. Finally, the presented concept contributes fundamentally to the evolution of dynamic polymers and provides universal applicability in covalent adaptable networks relying on a base-catalyzed exchange mechanism.

Dyslipidemia: Diabetes lipid therapies
Authors: Rehan Haider , Asghar Mehdi , Geetha Kumari Das , Zameer Ahmed Khanzada , Sambreen Zameer Khanzada
Published: August 2024

Dyslipidemia caused by abnormal lipid profiles significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals with diabetes. Effective management necessitates a comprehensive approach that encompasses lifestyle modifications and pharmacological intervention. Lifestyle adjustments such as adopting a healthy diet and engaging in regular physical activity play a crucial role in managing dyslipidemia. Avoiding foods high in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol, while incorporating high-fiber foods and omega-3 fatty acids, helps regulate lipid profiles. Regular exercise increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels, promotes weight loss, and aids in managing dyslipidemia. While behavioral changes are beneficial, pharmacological treatments are pivotal. Statins are the cornerstone for managing dyslipidemia in diabetic patients, regardless of standard lipid levels, due to their ability to lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. Additional lipid-lowering agents such as ezetimibe, bile acid sequestrants, and PCSK9 inhibitors may complement treatment strategies to improve lipid profiles. The advancements include new formulations of antidiabetic medications that demonstrate favorable effects on lipid parameters in diabetic patients. Sodiumglucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) not only provide cardiovascular benefits but also aid in lowering lipid levels. SGLT-2 inhibitors reduce LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, while GLP-1 RAs primarily target triglycerides and LDL cholesterol levels.

Authors: Ditlhale Tumelo Warren , Berg Geesje van den
Published: August 2024

Many adult learners are not accustomed to online, blended, or hybrid learning, nor using different devices to acquire necessary skills and knowledge at their convenience. In this sense, mobile technology has the potential to enhance the critical thinking and collaboration skills of adult learners, foster deep learning, and facilitate teaching and learning on any mobile device, at any location and time. Public ABET centres in South Africa have not formally incorporated the use of mobile devices in teaching and learning, despite being aware of the benefits of mobile learning for adult learners. Consequently, this research study aimed to explore the use of mobile technologies for adult learners in the ABET sector in South Africa. This research study received support from the FRAME model, which advocates for the use of mobile devices in adult learning. An interpretive paradigm was used following a qualitative research approach. The researchers used a purposive sampling method to select adult learners, and data was collected through focus group interviews. Based on the research findings, it was indicated that mobile learning could be more beneficial as an alternative approach to teaching and learning for adult learners. As a result of these findings, several recommendations have been made to address the identified challenges and make good use of mobile learning for adult learners.

Published: August 2024

ABSTRACTEarly adults are the highest internet health information seekers in Indonesia. Some people search the Internet excessively or repetitively for health information, which causes stress and/or anxiety. This phenomenon is called Cyberchondria. Attachment is thought to be at least indirectly related to Cyberchondria This cross-sectional study aims to determine the relationship between Insecure Attachment and Cyberchondria with Health Anxiety as a mediator. A total of 165 participants completed the Experience in Close Relationship-Revised (ECR-R), Short Health Anxiety Inventory (SHAI), and Cyberchondria Severity Scale-12 (CSS-12) questionnaires. Health Anxiety partially mediated the relationship between Anxious Attachment dimension and Cyberchondria (B=0.0430, CI95[0.0122; 0.0683], p=0.003). Health Anxiety did not mediate the relationship between Avoidant Attachment dimension and Cyberchondria (B=0.0200, CI95[-0.0360; 0.0680], p=0.437). However, Avoidant Attachment dimension can directly explain Cyberchondria (B=0.0843, CI95[0.0200; 0.1795], p=0.034). Suggest that each dimension of Insecure Attachment is related and can explain Cyberchondria although by different mechanisms. These results have implications for the development of understanding of the phenomenon of cyberchondria, especially from a developmental theory perspective.ABSTRACTIndividu dewasa awal merupakan pengguna internet tertinggi dalam mencari informasi kesehatan di Indonesia.

Background

Shigella is a leading cause of moderate-to-severe diarrhoea worldwide and diarrhoeal deaths in children in low- and-middle-income countries.

Aim

We investigated trends and characteristics of shigellosis and antimicrobial resistance of Shigella sonnei in Israel.

Methods

We analysed data generated by the Sentinel Laboratory-Based Surveillance Network for Enteric Pathogens that systematically collects data on detection of Shigella at sentinel laboratories, along with the characterisation of the isolates at the Shigella National Reference Laboratory. Trends in the shigellosis incidence were assessed using Joinpoint regression and interrupted time-series analyses.

Results

The average incidence of culture-confirmed shigellosis in Israel declined from 114 per 100,000 population (95% confidence interval (CI): 112–115) 1998–2004 to 80 per 100,000 population (95% CI: 79–82) 2005–2011. This rate remained stable 2012–2019, being 18–32 times higher than that reported from the United States or European high-income countries. After decreasing to its lowest values during the COVID-19 pandemic years (19/100,000 in 2020 and 5/100,000 in 2021), the incidence of culture-confirmed shigellosis increased to 39 per 100,000 population in 2022. Shigella sonnei is the most common serogroup, responsible for a cyclic occurrence of propagated epidemics, and the proportion of Shigella flexneri has decreased. Simultaneous resistance of S. sonnei to ceftriaxone, ampicillin and sulphamethoxazole-trimethoprim increased from 8.5% (34/402) in 2020 to 92.0% (801/876) in 2022.

Conclusions

These findings reinforce the need for continuous laboratory-based surveillance and inform the primary and secondary prevention strategies for shigellosis in Israel and other endemic high-income countries or communities.
La crítica metódica de Michel Foucault
Authors: Pérez Cortés Sergio
Published: August 2024

Si por método se entiende un procedimiento autónomo, universal, aplicable a cualquier objeto de conocimiento, entonces Michel Foucault no tiene un método. Por el contrario, lo que su filosofía ofrece es la reconstrucción metó-dica de los objetos bajo examen. En efecto, Foucault se propuso constante-mente elaborar una filosofía crítica que transformara el concepto tradicional de historia. La arqueología en el plano del saber, la genealogía en el orden del poder y la ética en el dominio de la subjetividad son, todas ellas, filosofía e historia críticas.
Concepciones teóricas, cuestiones metodológicas y campos de investigación actuales en la investigación de la interseccionalidad. Una reconstrucción desde la perspectiva de la investigación reflexiva (sobre la diversidad)
Authors: Bührmann Andrea D.
Published: August 2024

La interseccionalidad se ha convertido en uno de los “conceptos viajeros” (travelling concepts) más importantes (Bal, 2002) desde el último tercio del siglo xx (véase también Bilge, 2013: 410) y se ha difundido en diferentes esferas sociales (cfr. por ejemplo Biele, Bührmann y Grenz, 2022a; Charusheela, 2013; Cooper, 2016). Por un lado, la interseccionalidad como agenda política da forma al trabajo práctico de muchas iniciativas y grupos de acción en la lucha contra la discriminación;1 las mujeres negras y de color, en particular, utilizan el concepto para luchar por su igualdad legal, social y económica (cfr.Cho, Crenshaw y McCall, 2013).
Fenomenología: Alfred Schütz y Thomas Luckmann
Authors: Dreher Jochen Dreher
Published: August 2024

En lo que a problemáticas metodológicas se refiere es posible sostener que la reflexión fenomenológica ha sido sumamente productiva; particularmente si partimos del hecho de que la metodología de las ciencias sociales se concentra en la relación entre individuo y colectividad o sociedad, problemática plantea-da por el individualismo metodológico de Max Weber. En este sentido, Alfred Schütz y su discípulo Thomas Luckmann fueron los dos representantes de las ciencias sociales que se concentraron específicamente en elaborar, desde la reflexión metodológica, el campo problemático de tensión entre la subjetividad del actor individual y la colectividad o la sociedad. Por un lado, el sociólogo y filósofo Alfred Schütz se concentró en establecer los fundamentos de la socio-logía comprensiva de Max Weber que desarrolla en profundidad la noción del sentido subjetivo que el actor individual enlaza a su acción (Weber, 2002 [1921]). Desde la perspectiva fenomenológica, Schütz analiza la problemática de la relación entre subjetividad y acción siguiendo a Weber y estableciendo los fundamentos de la disciplina sociológica. Por su parte, su discípulo Thomas Luckmann aplicó, junto con Peter L. Berger, la fenomenología del mundo de la vida para redefinir la sociología del conocimiento que se había desarrollado hasta los años setenta con base en presupuestos materialistas (Berger y Luck-mann, 2005 [1966]). Para Luckmann, la fenomenología sirve como una “proto-sociología” y su tarea consiste en definir la base epistemológica de la sociología como ciencia social. Además, Luckmann desarrolla a partir de la fenomenolo-gía, una teoría de la religión, de la acción social y de la comunicación.
El giro icónico. Antecedentes, estudios de casos y perspectivas
Authors: Roeck Bernd
Published: August 2024

La instalación de James Turrell, Thought When Seen, concebida en 1988 e ins-talada por última vez en 2021 en el Museo Sprengel de Hannover, puede ilus-trar lo difícil que es captar las “imágenes” teóricamente.1 Atraviesas a tientas un pasillo sin luz por unas cuantas esquinas y finalmente llegas a una habita-ción completamente oscura donde te sientas en una silla de mimbre. Sólo después de unos seis minutos se puede distinguir débilmente la propia mano; su sombra permanece, incluso si se cierran los ojos. En este dark room, se ve unaausencia casi total de luz y se escucha —a menos que haya otro público presente— un silencio total. La radicalidad con la que Turrell muestra la nada al posmodernismo tardío y revela la realidad como una construcción del pen-samiento se asemeja al rechazo igualmente radical de toda objetualidad que Malévich hizo con su Cuadrado negro, en 1915, durante el apogeo de la van-guardia rusa: habló de él como el “icono desnudo de mi época”. Él ofrecería “lo real [das Königliche] en su laconismo” (Malévich, 1968: 45).
Hermenéutica y Ciencias Sociales
Authors: Velasco Gómez Ambrosio
Published: August 2024

Uno de los rasgos distintivos de la modernidad ha sido el surgimiento, desarro-llo y consolidación de una idea de racionalidad teórica basada en cierto len-guaje privilegiado y en métodos algorítmicos y concluyentes que garantizan con certeza la verdad del conocimiento. Esta idea de racionalidad se mani-fiesta principalmente en el ámbito de las ciencias formales y naturales a par-tir del siglo xvii y paulatinamente se extienden a las ciencias sociales hasta llegar a convertirse en el siglo xix en el modelo hegemónico de toda ciencia. Llamaremos a este modelo de racionalidad científica “monismo naturalista”, siguiendo el análisis que Bhaskar y Von Wright realizan sobre el tema.
Psicoanálisis y Ciencias sociales. Fronteras, barreras y cooperación
Authors: Basaure Mauro
Published: August 2024

La pregunta por la relación entre psicoanálisis y ciencias sociales es de tratamiento difícil. La razón de ello son las dificultades que genera la amplitud y complejidad de ambos términos. Es ya problemático, por ejemplo, decidir si esa relación se instaura desde el psicoanálisis hacia las ciencias sociales o al revés. En todo caso, esa pregunta sólo puede ser respondida mediante un tra-bajo acumulativo, colectivo y sostenido en el tiempo, materializado en libros monográficos, readers, handbooks, revistas especializadas, números especiales de revistas, seminarios, entre otros [i]. Frente a la imposibilidad objetiva de abordar dicha relación en los límites de un texto relativamente breve, se opta aquí por una estrategia reconstructiva que, con la ayuda de referencias y ejem-plos clave, permite reducir la complejidad de la tarea. Ello significa pagar el precio de muchas reducciones como, por ejemplo, poner el acento más en la obra de Freud y sus secuelas, que en grandes figuras del psicoanálisis como Jacques Lacan o Melanie Klein. Esa estrategia consiste en reconstruir las fronteras y las barreras que dificultan las relaciones entre psicoanálisis y cien-cias sociales, así como algunos esfuerzos por superarlas.

La relevancia del estreñimiento crónico para la salud pública es objeto de amplio estudio debido a su creciente incidencia, al impacto económico negativo que produce y a las múltiples complicaciones que conduce, concluyendo en un deterioro de la calidad de vida de los pacientes que lo padecen. Además, aún faltan estrategias para el abordaje de estudio y de tratamiento concisas. Con el reciente desarrollo de diferentes técnicas diagnósticas ha sido posible dilucidar varios de los mecanismos fisiopatológicos por los que se desarrolla esta patología, lo que ha ayudado en gran medida a la creación de estrategias de identificación más temprana de este padecimiento y su clasificación, para administrar tratamientos dirigidos a los blancos terapéuticos identificados. En esta revisión se ofrece una actualización en dichas estrategias de abordaje diagnóstico y terapéutico. Palabras clave: Estreñimiento, estreñimiento crónico, estreñimiento secundario, laxantes.
Ethical considerations in practitioner research
Authors: Karamatsouki Marilena
Published: August 2024

Systemic psychotherapists and practitioner researchers face various ethical considerations, with which they have to engage critically and reflexively. In this paper I discuss some of these considerations, which include participants’ agreement to take part in the research, the power in play that exists in the relationship between practitioner researcher and participants, writing ethically and including participants’ voices in the research, the practitioner researcher’s ethical standards of care, to name a few. Having these considerations in mind and talking openly about it with my clients helped me navigate through the complexities of relational ethics. My writing in general is mixed with relational ethics, in order to offer readers another perspective on how we can conduct therapy and relationally reflexive practitioner research. In this way, I hope this paper will serve as a tool for other practitioners to make sense of the world of practitioner research and bridge the gap between research and practice.
 
Περίληψη (Ελληνικά)
 
Οι συστημικοί ψυχοθεραπευτές και ερευνητές αντιμετωπίζουν διάφορους ηθικούς προβληματισμούς, τους οποίους χρειάζεται να διαχειριστούν με κριτική και αναστοχαστική σκέψη. Σε αυτό το άρθρο αναφέρω κάποιους από αυτούς τους προβληματισμούς, οι οποίοι περιλαμβάνουν τη συμφωνία των συμμετεχόντων να συμμετάσχουν στην έρευνα, τη δυναμική που υπάρχει στη σχέση μεταξύ ερευνητή και συμμετεχόντων, το πώς να γράφει κανείς με έναν ηθικό τρόπο ώστε να συμπεριλαμβάνει τις φωνές των συμμετεχόντων στην έρευνα, καθώς και την αυτοφροντίδα του ερευνητή με βάση την ηθική. Αυτό που με βοήθησε να διαχειριστώ την πολυπλοκότητα της σχεσιακής ηθικής ήταν το να έχω αυτούς τους προβληματισμούς στο νου μου και να τους συζητώ ανοιχτά με τους θεραπευόμενούς μου. Σε γενικές γραμμές στα γραπτά μου συμπεριλαμβάνω τη σχεσιακή ηθική, ώστε να προσφέρω στους αναγνώστες μια άλλη προοπτική του πώς μπορεί να διεξαχθεί η ψυχοθεραπεία και η έρευνα που είναι προσανατολισμένη στο σχεσιακό αναστοχασμό. Με αυτό τον τρόπο, ελπίζω αυτό το άρθρο να λειτουργήσει ως εργαλείο για άλλους επαγγελματίες ώστε να κατανοήσουν καλύτερα τον κόσμο της έρευνας μέσα από την πρακτική και να γεφυρώσει το χάσμα μεταξύ έρευνας και πρακτικής.
Stories of "Self". Ideology in action.
Authors: Simon Gail
Published: August 2024

Theory about “self” is political. It immediately situates a person’s problems within an individual and/or within wider social systems. This paper encourages therapists to be curious about their stories of “self” and about the ideologies that produce them. By taking responsibility for one’s preferred stories (theories) of “self”, we can understand and take responsibility for therapeutic theory and practice as cultural products which create social consequences. Many therapeutic theories see problems people have as indications of personal inadequacy within a relationship of power inequality within the therapeutic relationship. The storying of people and their struggles by professionals can become a one-sided imposition of theory and values by one party on another. In this sense, therapeutic relationships are a form of colonisation. This is particularly worrying given many people will be looking to therapy to support their journey overcoming experiences of being colonised in other contexts.
A table shows a sample of psychotherapeutic modalities. It contrasts the different ideologies and the stories of self they produce. Different levels of context (Afuape, 2012; Oliver, 1996; Pearce, 2002; Pearce and Cronen, 1980) show how different ideologies play out in therapeutic practice, and how therapy maintains or disrupts social change. I offer questions for each level of context for therapists to explore how our own subscriptions to specific ideologies have implications for our therapeutic practice, supervision and training at each level of context in the table. The paper ends with a reflection on how theorethical reflexivity can move the levels of context into a fluidly reflexive process which changes an ideology so that theories of self are context-responsive and intentionally decolonising (Afuape, 2012; Reynolds, 2010).

Abstract
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of diclazuril (Clinacox® 0.5%) as a coccidiostat for chickens for fattening and chickens reared for laying. The additive currently on the market complies with the existing conditions of authorisation. The additive remains safe for the target species and the consumer under the authorised conditions of use. The additive is irritant to skin, eyes and respiratory tract but is not a skin sensitiser. Exposure by inhalation cannot be excluded. The FEEDAP Panel cannot conclude on the safety for the environment of diclazuril from Clinacox® 0.5% due to lack of data. Diclazuril from Clinacox® 0.5% at a concentration of 1 mg diclazuril/kg complete feed has the potential to control coccidiosis in chickens for fattening. This conclusion is extended to chickens reared for laying. Development of resistance to diclazuril of field Eimeria spp. strains isolated from chickens should be monitored.

Introduction: In March 2020, the Ontario-based Centre for Effective Practice (CEP) launched an online portal that would become the CEP COVID-19 Resource Centre (CRC), one of Ontario’s most well-known and best-used sources for primary care clinical and practice guidance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Description: Authors will describe how key principles of librarianship drove the development and evolution of the CRC, discuss their approach to literature searching and appraisal in a time of great uncertainty and scant evidence, and outline successes and challenges. Outcomes: With over 170,500 visitors since 2020, the CRC became an invaluable tool for primary care providers in Ontario, across Canada and internationally. 89% of site visitors reported that the CRC enhanced their knowledge of COVID-19 evidence, recommendations and policies. 87% of visitors reported that the Vaccine resource directly informed their practice. Discussion: Authors discuss challenges of the rapid-response format and skills formed by the demands of the pandemic.

Protein microarray consists of a support (usually glass or polymer) and immobilized proteins (ferments, antibodies, etc.). Being one of the most widespread and accessible support material, glass still has a significant disadvantage: its surface doesn’t contain functional groups capable of bonding with proteins. Therefore, the glass surface needs to be modified in order to immobilize capture proteins.

The aim of this work was to develop a technique of chemical modification of the glass surface for fabrication of protein microarrays. In our study we varied the following experimental parameters: solvent for 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, time of silanization reaction, concentration of glutaraldehyde, composition of a buffer for printing the target protein (allophycocyanin-labelled human anti-IgE) on the modified surface. The efficiency of protein molecule immobilization was quantified using the intensity of spot fluorescence. As a result, it was shown that there was no influence of the solvent for 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane on the immobilization efficiency of the target protein on the modified surface, and the optimal time for the silanization reaction was 60 minutes. It was also shown that the optimal concentration of glutaraldehyde was 2.5 % (v/v) and the optimal composition of the printing buffer was phosphate-buffered saline with the addition of 4 % (v/v) glycerol.
