Planificación urbana y accesibilidad:factores clave en los procesos de la intensificación en la verticalización residencial
Authors: Vicuña Magdalena , De Dios Berenice
Published: December 2024

En los últimos 20 años, la vivienda en altura se ha convertido en la principal forma de expresión del desarrollo inmobiliario en Chile. La desregularización urbana preexistente, en cuanto a la política habitacional y la flexibilidad en las directrices regulatorias, desencadenó un proceso explosivo de verticalización, que desencadenó una percepción negativa en la población, la que ha rechazado los proyectos en altura ejerciendo presión hacia los municipios para modificar sus planes reguladores comunales (PRC) y restringir la verticalización. El presente artículo se basa en el estudio de 10 comunas con mayor desarrollo habitacional vertical residencial de las principales áreas metropolitanas chilenas (Santiago, Valparaíso y Concepción), desde el año 2002 a 2021. La metodología consiste en caracterizar el rol de la planificación urbana comunal y la accesibilidad al transporte público en la verticalización residencial. Los resultados muestran dos tendencias relacionadas con los instrumentos territoriales de planificación vinculados con el acceso del transporte público. La discusión se centra en dos hallazgos: 1) Intensificación de la verticalización residencial vinculada con cambios al PRC; 2) Intensificación de la verticalización residencial sin relación con modificaciones al PRC. Se constata que, ante los procesos de planificación, se desencadenan procesos de intensidad vertical adversos a lo planteado.

Authors: Haro Neira Luis Eduardo , Mora Rodrigo
Published: December 2024

Este manuscrito analiza el rol de la bicicleta en los distintos Instrumentos de Planificación Territorial Local (IPTL) de la ciudad de Santiago. Para ello, se analizan los Planes Reguladores Comunales (PRC), Planes de Desarrollo Comunal (PLADECO), Planes de Inversiones en Infraestructura de Movilidad y Espacio Público (PIIMEP) e instrumentos afines de 35 comunas capitalinas. Se registró la aparición de las palabras bicicleta (s) y ciclovía(s) en 74 IPTL de la ciudad. A continuación, se clasificaron las iniciativas que abordan la bicicleta en los IPTL en seis dimensiones (Normativa, Seguridad y Difusión, Financiamiento, Infraestructura, Participación Ciudadana y Planes). Finalmente, se identificó a las comunas y zonas de la ciudad con más iniciativas de fomento a la bicicleta en sus IPTL. Los resultados muestran importantes diferencias en las iniciativas de fomento a la bicicletas por zonas, siendo la centro oriente la con más iniciativas e instrumentos más recientes. A su vez, las iniciativas más frecuentes se refieren a Infraestructura y Seguridad y Difusión, mientras las menos frecuentes refieren a incentivos normativos. Finalmente, las tres comunas que dan mayor importancia a la bicicleta en sus IPTL son las comunas de Providencia, Renca y Vitacura.
Metodología de la música coral en la escuela pública, primarias y normales, en las dos ediciones de cien cantos escolares: 1888 a 1910
Authors: Briceño Zaldivar Gladys
Published: December 2024

Este artículo caracteriza la metodología de la enseñanza de la música vocal-coral desde 1888 hasta comienzos del siglo XX en Chile, mediante la descripción de las exigencias en la técnica de canto e impostación de la voz y los elementos musicales y culturales de este período, considerado como adscrito al paradigma educacional alemán.
La base del estudio es el análisis teórico-musical de los primeros textos escolares para la enseñanza de música, llamados Cien Cantos Escolares. Estos consisan en una recopilación de canciones alemanas (volkslied) editadas en tres libros en formato de partituras, denominados Cuadernos, cuyo fin principal era ser ulizados en las escuelas primarias y en la formación de profesores en las escuelas normales. Aunque estos textos fueron considerados modelo didáctico en las escuelas públicas, solo contienen partituras y no incluyen información sobre el repertorio, ni tampoco sobre los contenidos, metas y objetivos del aprendizaje musical. Además, las partituras contienen como referencia bibliográfica, solo el apellido del compositor de las canciones y, en algunos casos, el nombre del autor de las letras. No obstante, este articulo describe los relevantes elementos musicales y culturales implícitos contenidos en los Cien Cantos Escolares .
Palabras clave: textos escolares, paradigma alemán, educación musical, técnica vocal-coral.

La educación musical femenina en Chile durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, mitos y resabios
Authors: Vera Malhue Fernanda
Published: December 2024

El presente artículo da cuenta de cómo la afición musical en Chile a mediados del siglo XIX adoptó un
carácter eminentemente femenino. Propongo como hipótesis la existencia de una serie de argumentos de
distinta índole que terminaron por cimentar una ideología que asociaba a las mujeres con el ámbito de los
sentimientos y la sensibilidad. En ese sentido, la práctica musical pasó a ser un pasatiempo apropiado para
las mujeres por la conexión entre música y emoción, y también porque podía ser practicado en el espacio
privado del hogar, resguardando así el honor familiar.
Los roles de género en la cumbia de Los Vikings 5 y la Sonora Palacios: una breve aproximación analítica a partir de letras de canciones populares chilenas
Authors: Fuentes Landaeta Constanza , Fuentes Landaeta Javiera
Published: December 2024

La cumbia chilena es un estilo de música tropical que se baila, escucha y canta en todo Chile. Es así como, Los Vikings 5 y la Sonora Palacios son destacados e importantes exponentes de este estilo de música popular que han logrado permanecer vigentes hasta el día de hoy. Este artículo, además de dar conocer brevemente la trayectoria de ambas bandas, se centra en estudios de género y musicología, analizando cualitativa y sistemáticamente las letras de canciones contenidas en los discos “40 años de éxitos” de la Sonora Palacios y “40 años” de Los Vikings 5, con el objetivo de identificar y caracterizar los roles de género contenidos en ellas. Conjuntamente, se presenta un marco teórico que presenta diversas perspectivas en relación al género y la música popular, y contextualiza el rol de la mujer en la historia de la música chilena.

La formación del cantante de nivel superior dentro del esquema universitario requiere el desarrollo de habilidades y competencias disciplinares que le permitan desenvolverse como intérprete solista o como miembro de un con- junto en ensambles de cámara y/o en coros además de ejercer la docencia y la investigación en el ámbito de la música vocal. El propósito de la asignatura de canto es el desarrollo de las habilidades técnicas para el abordaje del repertorio que abarca diferentes estilos, formas y géneros musicales en un creciente nivel de dificultad además de complementar a todas aquellas competencias que permitan al alumno desenvolverse en un escenario, cantar en los diferentes idiomas propios del repertorio, interpretar obras musicales con estricto apego a la partitura y adquirir herramientas para la difusión de la música vocal en su ambiente socio-cultural, en resumen el egresado de la carrera de canto será capaz de aplicar los conocimientos musicales, escénicos, académicos y culturales en su desempeño profesional. El presente estudio expone la experiencia del autor como profesor titular en la aplicación de un modelo pedagógico llevado a cabo en la asignatura de canto nivel superior, logrando ver resultados en el periodo de su implementación y siguiendo la metodología de investigación en la acción de Lewin. Como primer punto, se expondrá en los antecedentes y en la introducción, un recorrido de la historia del canto y de su evolución a través de los siglos en materia de pedagogía vocal en la región europea, en México e igualmente en la ciudad de Colima. Posteriormente se muestra la metodología, la problematización, el diagnóstico, el diseño de una propuesta de cambio y la aplicación de la propuesta. Tal propuesta contempla la aplicación de un programa que promueve el desarrollo de una técnica vocal saludable. Finalmente se exponen los resultados de la implementación de dicha propuesta.
El arte como camino al desarrollo de habilidades socioemocionales en la escuela
Authors: Andreu Muñoz Silvia , Ibáñez Gericke Tania
Published: December 2024

Durante el año 2018, la Facultad de Artes de la Universidad de Chile implementó un proyecto piloto para el fortalecimiento de las habilidades socioemocionales en estudiantes de establecimientos educacionales municipales de la comuna de Isla de Maipo, en el marco de un convenio de colaboración con la Corporación de la comuna. Este artículo presenta una descripción de las etapas de diseño, implementación y evaluación intermedia del Proyecto Educativo Isla de Maipo (PEIM), el que se caracterizó por una estrategia metodológica centrada en el trabajo artístico en aula como herramienta para favorecer el aprendizaje socioemocional en las y los estudiantes, a través de la incorporación de facilitadores artísticos que trabajaron desde un enfoque de co-docencia con las y los profesores de cada establecimiento educacional.
A partir del trabajo realizado, fue posible identificar que la incorporación de estrategias artísticas al aula fue recibida positivamente por los estudiantes, ampliando su repertorio expresivo y favoreciendo la efectividad de su comunicación. Además, para los docentes esto permitió generar un espacio de reflexión sobre su propio quehacer y, en el caso de los cursos de primer ciclo y de las asignaturas artísticas, las estrategias implementadas enriquecieron las prácticas pedagógicas con ideas innovadoras. Por último, si bien el proyecto se implementó en una amplia diversidad de asignaturas, las y los docentes consideraron que su aporte sería especialmente útil en aquellas que no son artísticas.
De las calles al aula: Exploración de la práctica musical de mujeres desarrollada posterior al movimiento feminista de 2018 en Chile
Authors: Reyes Navarrete Vanessa
Published: December 2024

Durante el año 2018, se llevó a cabo en Chile una de las movilizaciones de
carácter feminista más grandes de nuestra historia reciente. Esto propició
una serie de actividades y jornadas que incentivaron la reflexión colectiva
y personal en torno a nuestra cultura y sus características patriarcales. El
presente artículo busca indagar sobre el impacto que tuvo este fenómeno
sociocultural en el quehacer musical de mujeres que cuentan con una formación
profesional en música. Esto se llevó a cabo mediante la recopilación de
información por medio entrevistas semiestructuradas aplicadas a siete mujeres
músicas de edades diversas. La información obtenida fue posteriormente
analizada y contrastada con investigaciones en torno al género y el feminismo.
El principal aporte de esta investigación radicó en establecer un punto
de partida para la creación de propuestas educativas que apunten hacia una
educación musical integral mediante el establecimiento de un panorama general
sobre la vinculación entre la práctica musical y el feminismo en Chile.
Gestión de redes y espacios desde la marginalidad. El caso de Marta Canales
Authors: Molina Acevedo Carla
Published: December 2024

Poco se sabe sobre el quehacer de la compositora e intérprete Marta Canales
Pizarro. Sin embargo, gracias a estudios recientes sobre su figura, se ha
logrado ampliar su margen de acción, reconociendo en su labor diferentes
actividades relacionadas con la música. En esta ocasión, me propongo destacar
las instancias y espacios que Marta Canales gestionó en relación con
la práctica musical, poniendo especial atención en el trabajo desarrollado
a través de la Sociedad Protectora de Ciegos Santa Lucia, ya que este ha
sido un aspecto ignorado de su quehacer. Además de realizar un análisis
historiográfico de estas instancias, propongo un enfoque desde los estudios
de género que considere las implicancias de este en la proyección de dichas
iniciativas. Por otro lado, me interesa reflexionar sobre la relevancia de sus
acciones tanto para la escena nacional como para quienes formaron parte
de los proyectos. Finalmente, busco valorar su gestión y reivindicar un quehacer
invisibilizado por la historiografía de la música académica en Chile.

An Origin Story: Part Two – Fritz Perls’s relationship to Freud and some implications for the Gestalt therapist’s sense of identity
Authors: Marshall Eamonn
Published: December 2024

"Part One of this paper was published in British Gestalt Journal 33.1. In it, the author addressed Perls’s
engagement with psychoanalysis as a ‘patient’ and his actual meeting with Freud in 1936. He also drew
attention to the ways in which Perls was unable to see just how much he was under the sway of a highly
conflicted relationship with his father.

Fritz Perls features centre stage in any Gestalt training, yet his life and the influences working on him have,
until recently, remained relatively obscure and unelaborated. His relationship to Freud and psychoanalysis
was of enormous significance, a fact that is often given only cursory attention when considering the
evolution of ideas which would eventually lead to the publication of Gestalt Therapy: Excitement and Growth
in the Human Personality in 1951. Following my reading of Bernd Bocian’s profoundly illuminating 2010
publication, Fritz Perls in Berlin 1893 – 1933: Expressionism - Psychoanalysis - Judaism, I at last felt sufficiently
informed to attempt to describe my own relationship to Fritz Perls and to certain puzzling aspects of his
story as given in his first-person texts, and this paper is the result.

The indigenous knowledge of utilizing medicinal plants for the treatment of various ailments in very ancient and emerges under the influence of culture in each society. The culture of Pakistan is very rich in utilizing medicinal plants to cure various diseases. The current study was conducted to collect the indigenous knowledge from the local community regarding the utilization of native plant species for the cure of different diseases. The study was carried out in the Neelan Valley, Abbottabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The method used in the current study for documentation of the indigenous knowledge and traditional uses of important medicinal plants was based on questionnaires and personal interviews during field visits. A total of 350 informants, including 216 males and 134 females were interviewed for their traditional knowledge of medicinal plants used for various diseases and their knowledge regarding different folklores. As a result of interviews, 42 important medicinal plant species belonging to 32 families including 12 trees, 13 shrubs and 17 herbs were documented. The ethnomedicinal record was produced by listing the local and botanical name, plant family, habit, parts used and ethnomedicinal uses/folklores. The most frequent plant parts used for the aforementioned purpose were leaves, flowers, seeds and whole plants. Most of plants were used against digestive/gastrointestinal and respiratory disorders, jaundice, diabetes, rheumatism etc., as well as for antipyretic and anthelmintic purposes. It was observed that indigenous knowledge of herbal folklores is commonly used in the area to control various diseases, but is mostly confined to elderly people, while younger population is less aware of this knowledge due to altering socio-cultural trends in the area of study.
Withania somnifera as a potential nanomedicine: A review
Authors: Anam Amin Shami  , Emmania Abid  , Laiba Tanveer
Published: December 2024

Withania somnifera, commonly known as Ashwaganda, is an important medicinal plant for a long time. Roots, seeds and other parts of Ashwaganda have clinically important pharmacological properties. The phytochemicals present in the plant include flavonoids, alkaloids, phenols and withanolids which make it useful in treatment of cancer, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Withania somnifera possess anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-aging activities. Nanobiotechnology is an emerging field as nanoparticles allow targeted and controlled drug delivery. Green synthesis of nanoparticles involves the use of plants for their ability to reduce harmful impacts associated with chemically synthesized nanoparticles. The green synthesis approach has been applied for the synthesis of nanoparticles form plant extracts obtained from Withania somnifera. Silver, gold, selenium, platinum and many more nanoparticles have been synthesized by mixing the root extracts of Ashwaganda and metal salts. Another approach involves the use of plant extracts encapsulated in niosomes and in combination with solid lipid nanoparticles which is pharmacologically helpful. The nanoparticles from Withania somnifera utilize anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-aging activities of Ashwaganda and help in targeted delivery of the drug. The plant-based nanoparticles show better characteristics including bioavailability, solubility and improved shelf life. This approach can be developed further for agricultural and technological uses like sensors and imaging technology.
Assessment of evolutionary multi-objective optimisation algorithms for thermoplastic injection moulding in aluminium moulds
Authors: Amarante Evandro Menezes de Souza , Marconi Pedro Guilherme Carvalho de Souza , Santos Victor Gabriel Sousa Fagundes dos , Oliveira João Paulo Rios Brandão de , Ribeiro Júnior Armando Sá
Published: December 2024

In order for a plastic part manufactured by the injection moulding process to be of the desired quality, it is necessary to maintain control of the process parameters. To increase productivity and reduce defects in parts, various studies have been carried out to propose and evaluate methods for determining injection parameters, which are based on the use of experimental planning techniques as well as the application of optimisation algorithms. This work proposes an experimental design with 6 injection parameters (mould temperature, melt temperature, injection time, percentage of volume filled, packing time and packing pressure) to determine the initial search space for the NSGA-II and MOEA/D optimisation algorithms in relation to the use of aluminium moulds. This procedure was used via a computer code described in the PYTHON programming language to determine the appropriate injection parameters for minimising part warpage and injection pressure. The results showed that an increase in compaction pressure is associated with a reduction in warpage and vice versa. It was observed that the NSGA-II algorithm showed a greater diversity of points on the approximate Pareto frontier compared to the MOEA/D algorithm. In the case of the proposed study, MOEA/D presented a more viable solution, determining a lower packing pressure, less warping of the part and a shorter cycle time. The NSGA-II algorithm required around 4 hours more computational time than MOEA/D.
Vittoria Colonna: Michelangelo's Perfect Muse
Authors: Adler Sara M.
Published: December 2024

In complement to the actual Vittoria Colonna (1492–1547), the life-long friend of Michelangelo Buonarotti (1475–1564), there was a literary one, the Vittoria present in many of his poems. This essay examines Michelangelo's creation in the context of her role as a part of his literary strategy, a role that enables him to articulate for his readers the expression of his feelings. Given that Michelangelo's inner complexity was largely due to his homosexuality, in order to understand Colonna's role more clearly, the essay also examines the poems that he wrote about Tommaso Cavalieri, the other great love of his life. The two groups of poems stand in stark contrast to one another. Cavalieri is portrayed as comforting and accessible. To the contrary, Colonna is a prodigious presence who impassively precipitates the expression of Michelangelo's worthlessness, and thus serves as his perfect spiritual guide and muse.

Türk Deniz Kuvvetleri Komutanlığının Harekât İhtiyaçları Ekseninde Johnson Mektubunun Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: Korkmaz Erdal
Published: December 2024

Köklü bir tarihi geçmişi olan Türkiye-ABD ilişkileri, İkinci Dünya Harbi’nden sonra SSCB’nin, boğazlardan ve Anadolu’nun doğusundan yer taleplerinin etkisiyle zirve yapmıştır. SSCB’nin komünizmi yayma düşüncesi, iki ülkeyi yakınlaştıran bir diğer neden olmuştur. İlgili dönemde Truman Doktrini ile başlayıp ardından Marshall Planı ile devam eden yardımlar, münasebetlerin karşılıklı güven ve iş birliği ortamında şekillenmesine zemin hazırlamıştır. 1947 yılında iki ülke arasında yapılan ikili bir antlaşma ile askerî yardımların çerçevesi belirlenmiştir. Bu kapsamda ABD’den alınan silah ve sistemler ile Türk ordusu, ihtiyaçlarının önemli bir kısmını karşılama imkânına kavuşmuştur. ABD ve Türkiye arasındaki ilişkiler, Kıbrıs’ta yaşanan gelişmelere bağlı olarak sarsılmıştır. Kıbrıs’ta, 1959-1960 Zürih ve Londra Antlaşmaları ile Türk ve Rumların ortak olduğu bir statü oluşturulmuştur. Yunanistan, Türkiye ve İngiltere bu yeni devletin garantörlüğünü üstlenmiştir. Kıbrıs’ta bir devlet kurulmasına karşın, Rumların enosis hedefi ile Türklere yönelik baskı, şiddet ve yıldırma faaliyetlerine girişmesi, adadaki huzur ve güven ortamını bozmuştur. Özellikle 1963 yılındaki Kanlı Noel adı verilen olaylardan sonra birçok Türk katledilmiştir. Gelişmeler üzerine Türkiye, Zürih ve Londra Antlaşmalarını gerekçe göstererek 1964 yılında adaya yönelik bir çıkarma harekâtı icrasına yönelik adım atmış ve durumdan ABD’yi haberdar etmiştir. Ancak ABD, Türkiye’ye gönderdiği bir mesaj ile muhtemel harekâtı engellemiştir. ABD’nin Johnson Mektubu ile ortaya koyduğu hareket tarzı, Türkiye’de bir güven problemi yaratmıştır. Bu durum Türkiye’nin kendi askeri ihtiyaçlarını, yerli ve milli imkânlarla geliştirmek ve ABD ile ilişkileri kesmeden, çok boyutlu bir ilişkiler ağı tesis etmesine ve rasyonel bir dış politik çizgi belirlemesine zemin hazırlamıştır. Bu kapsamda Türkiye, Deniz Kuvvetleri Komutanlığının ihtiyacı olan savaş gemisi ile silah ve sistemleri, bir taraftan kendi tersanelerinde inşa etmeye diğer taraftan da dış kaynak çeşitliliği ile temin etme yoluna gitmiştir. Bu çalışma, arşiv belgeleri ve tetkik eserler çerçevesinde nitel araştırma yöntemine dayalı tarama modeliyle, Johnson Mektubu ve akabinde Türk Deniz Kuvvetleri Komutanlığının ihtiyacı olan savaş gemisi ve diğer sistem ihtiyaçlarını nasıl ve ne şekilde karşıladığı sorusuna cevap bulmaya çalışmıştır. İlgili çalışma Türk Deniz Kuvvetleri Komutanlığının ihtiyaçlarının, Johnson Mektubu sonrasında ülkenin kendi imkân ve kaynakları ile çözülmeye çalışıldığını, bu kapsamda bir taraftan yerli üretime yönelik çalışmalara ağırlık verilirken, diğer taraftan hazır alım faaliyetleri ile envantere yeni silah ve sistemlerin kazandırıldığını göstermiştir.
Training in Lumbar Pedicle Screw Instrumentation Using a 3D-Printed Model: From Validation to Transferability Onto a Cadaver Model
Authors: Delgado Byron , Campos Mauricio , Lobos Daniel , Cuéllar Jorge , Ruz Cristian , Besa Pablo , Castro Javier , Vidal Catalina
Published: December 2024

Lumbar pedicle screw placement in spinal surgery is complex and prone to errors, with notable risks to patients. Standard training methods, such as mentorship in operating rooms, pose safety concerns, prompting the need for alternative training tools. This study aimed to validate and use a three-dimensional (3D)-printed simulation model for lumbar pedicle screw insertion training and assess its effectiveness compared with standard methods. The study proceeded through four phases: model design and validation, construct validation, learning curve assessment, and transfer to a cadaver model. A 3D-printed lumbar spine model was created and refined based on expert feedback. Construct validation demonstrated the model's ability to differentiate between experts and novices. Training sessions with residents showed a notable improvement in performance over multiple attempts, but performance still lagged that of experts. However, skills learned on the simulation model were effectively transferred to a cadaver model, with no notable difference in performance observed. The trained group outperformed a control group trained using standard methods in the cadaver test. The study concludes that the 3D-printed simulation model is a valid training tool for lumbar pedicle screw insertion, effectively transferring skills to a cadaver setting and improving resident performance compared with standard training methods. Additional research is warranted to explore the sustainability of acquired skills and optimize training protocols.

Kali Sejuk memiliki potensi untuk meningkatkan perekonomian masyarakat dusun Darungan. Karena beberapa alasan kali sejuk menjadi sepi. Karena itu diperlukan penciptaan nilai baru dan branding ulang (rebranding) terkait destinasi wisata tersebut. Penciptaan value adalah titik awal untuk setiap bisnis skala kecil atau besar. Ini memerlukan pembuatan produk dan penyediaan layanan yang menurut pelanggan berguna secara konsisten agar dapat membangun ikatan loyalitas. Dalam menciptakan nilai (creating value) selalu diperlukan perbaikan  proses bisnis yang melibatkan berbagai pihak dalam organisasi, dengan melakukan upaya pemahaman sebaik mungkin mengenai pelanggan dan mengetahui apa kebutuhan mereka. Rebranding merupakan langkah transformasi penciptaan citra baru perusahaan yang ditopang oleh manajemen yang lebih solid dan kinerja yang lebih bagus. Rebranding dapat juga diartikan sebagai suatu proses pemberian nama brand baru atau identitas baru pada produk atau jasa yang sudah mapan tanpa perubahan berarti dari manfaat yang ditawarkan oleh produk. Proses rebranding dapat dilakukan pada suatu produk baru atau pada produk yang sudah mapan. Hasil pendampingan bersama UMKM dan POKMAS Wisata Kalisejuk disepakati beberapa hal antara lain, menjaga kebersihan, menjual jajanan khas dilengkapi dengan daftar menu.

Published: December 2024

Aim: Neutrophils are thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis (Tb). This study aimed to evaluate the function and activation markers of peripheral neutrophils in Tb patients to clarify their involvement in disease progression.
Materials and Methods: The study included three groups: seven untreated Tb patients, seven cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, and seven healthy controls. Neutrophils were isolated from peripheral blood using Ficoll-Histopaque gradient centrifugation and cultured in RPMI 1640 medium with L-glutamine. Inactivated Mycobacterium tuberculosis was added both in the presence and absence of recombinant interleukin (IL)-17. Neutrophil functions—including phagocytosis, chemotaxis, and oxidative burst—as well as surface activation markers, such as CD11b, CD63, and CD66b, were analyzed via flow cytometry.
Results: Neutrophil functions and activation markers in response to IL-17 and bacilli stimulation in Tb patients were similar to those in healthy controls, but were significantly reduced in CF patients. Surface CD11b and CD66b expression, as well as the oxidative burst index of neutrophils from patients with Tb and CF, were inhibited by IL-17.
Conclusion: Neutrophil functions and activation markers in patients with mycobacterial infections were comparable to those in healthy subjects. In contrast, neutrophil functions were reduced in CF patients compared to both healthy subjects and Tb patients, though this difference lacked statistical significance. Notably, IL-17 was found to suppress the expression of CD11b, CD66b, and the oxidative burst index on neutrophil surfaces in both Tb and CF patients. These findings highlight the need for further research with larger cohorts to investigate neutrophil apoptosis and cytokine receptor expression in cell culture supernatants, offering deeper insights into neutrophil roles in Tb infection.

Background:
We found medicines leftover in our houses and often they get expired. Throwing away such medicines can cause significant harm to our surroundings. Medical students are future practitioners and should be aware of the importance of safe disposal of medicines.

Aim:
To assess the awareness, knowledge, attitude and practices among the Phase III MBBS students regarding safe disposal of unused and expired household medicines.

Methods:
It was a cross sectional, observational, questionnaire-based study carried out after approval by the Institutional Ethics Committee in Phase III MBBS students of a government teaching institute. After obtaining informed consent, 102 (n) of 123 participants were enrolled in the study and their responses were recorded on a pre-validated questionnaire form. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics with Microsoft Windows 11.

Results:
We observed that the students never had heard about Eco-pharmacovigilance and lack the knowledge about methods of safe disposal of expired medicines but had good attitude about the safety of environment. They were willing to update themselves regarding the safe drug disposal methods (86%) and other measures of safety of environment. Majority opined that there should be system to collect the unused/expired medicines from houses (84 %). Though the student were not knowing the standard drug disposal methods, few of them had practiced the method of returning the unused medicines to medical stores (17%).

Conclusion:
Our study brought forward the fact that the Phase III MBBS students of government teaching institute were not much aware of standard safe drug disposal methods for household medicines and Eco-pharmacovigilance.
