Design and Evaluation of a Method for Over-The-Air Firmware Updates for IoT Devices
Authors: Sousa Maria Júlia Berriel de , Borin Juliana Freitag
Published: June 2023

Internet of Things (IoT) has been gaining a lot of attention in the last few years and despite the large amount of investments, there are still many challenges to be overcome within all parts of IoT architecture. One challenge is how to develop a long-lasting application. With regard to devices, one of the main contributors to longevity is the ability to update devices firmware. In practical terms, software and firmware updates over-the-air (OTA) are a crucial part of IoT architecture, along with the capacity to manage them remotely. This dissertation explains the IoT architecture with a layered approach and how updates OTA are part of it. As a solution to this problem, the design and implementation of an OTA firmware update method is presented. The method is based on the standard architecture recently proposed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), in the form of RFC 9019. The proposed solution is evaluated through two testbeds: one with 20 constrained IoT devices connected to an open source IoT cloud platform through a WiFi network and the other one with a set of 75 devices spread in a large geographic area as part of a real world application. Results show that the proposed solution is suitable for constrained devices and has little impact on the network traffic.

Published: June 2023

O aquecimento global têm sido um tema de grande preocupação nos últimos anos. Acredita-se estar relacionado, principalmente, com a emissão dos gases de efeito estufa. No Brasil, a mudança no uso do solo foi responsável pela maior fatia das emissões no ano de 2021. O uso equilibrado da terra pode possibilitar ao país, além de mitigar as emissões, gerar créditos de carbono com um potencial retorno econômico. Para isso, existe uma diversidade de dados disponíveis que, integrados no contexto de um sistema de Mensuração, Relato e Verificação (MRV) agropecuário, poderão contribuir com o suporte à decisão para o processo de geração de créditos de carbono. Este estudo apresenta uma abordagem para integração sintática e semântica de bases de dados heterogêneas relacionadas ao uso do solo e à criação de animais nas propriedades rurais brasileiras. Como resultado, identificamos ser possível prover informações estratégicas para oferecer alternativas de cultivo da terra com foco na mitigação da emissão de gases de efeito estufa e no estoque de carbono no solo. Com isso, o suporte à geração e à certificação dos créditos é viabilizado.
The Awareness Assessment Model: measuring the awareness and collaboration support over the participant’s perspective
Authors: Mantau Márcio J. , Benitti Fabiane B. V.
Published: June 2023

[Context] Awareness has been a valuable concept in Collaborative Systems since its formation, being an essential part of groupware. The efficient awareness mechanism ensures a better understanding and, consequently, a better projection of future actions; in contrast, the lack of these mechanisms undermines comprehension and prevents participants from projecting their work accordingly. [Problem] This is a multi-factorial problem, and finding a goodm starting point in the literature can be challenging for novice groupware designers; they must reinvent awareness from their own experience of what it is, how it works, and how it is used. [Goal] This work consists of establishing an assessment model for collaborative interfaces by analyzing the awareness mechanisms provided from the participant’s viewpoint. Our awareness assessment model developed adopting the statistical technique Item Response Theory (IRT) and considers the participant’s skill in understanding the awareness and the difficulty involved. [Results] The proposed assessment model allow us to measure the awareness support provided considering the collaboration, workspace, and contextual awareness perspectives. The results obtained were translated into an awareness support scale and three levels of quality were defined.

Authors: Silva Júlia Veiga da , Silva Junior Braz Araujo da , Foss Luciana , Cavalheiro Simone André da Costa
Published: June 2023

GrameStation is a game engine based on Graph Grammar that allows creating and playing games modeled with this language. Graph Grammar is an intuitive formal language, but people who do not have previous experience with it may have difficulty understanding/specifying games in this way. Therefore, we propose an experiment to analyze the support provided by GrameStation during the creation of games modeled as Graph Grammars in order to facilitate this task. We analyzed three groups of people with different levels of knowledge about Graph Grammar. They created a game following provided instructions and answered a questionnaire. It is concluded that GrameStation is suitable for those who have experience with it, but presents gaps for people without experience. These results will guide the implementation of pedagogical agents in the tool.

Zeitenwenden in der Zeitgeschichte
Authors: Sabrow Martin
Published: June 2023

Eine hochaktuelle Analyse über das Ende historischer Gewissheiten und das Bemühen der Zeitgeschichte um Gegenwartsdistanz. Mit seiner an der Humboldt-Universität Berlin gehaltenen Abschiedsvorlesung knüpft Martin Sabrow an seine Antrittsvorlesung zwölf Jahre zuvor an und sucht den Ort der Zeitgeschichte und Erinnerungskultur in der Gegenwart zu bestimmen. Er widmet sich dem Verlust tradierter Gewissheiten, der mit dem Ausbruch des Ukrainekriegs im Februar 2022 einhergeht und in der vielzitierten Rede von der »Zeitenwende« zum Ausdruck kommt. Sabrow lotet die Facetten dieses Umbruchs auf dem Feld der Vergegenwärtigung der Vergangenheit aus und beschreibt sie als schleichende Auflösung eines geschichtkulturellen Grundkonsenses, der sich im letzten Viertel des 20. Jahrhunderts herausgebildet hatte. Die in dieser Zeit auf allen Ebenen von Staat und Gesellschaft etablierte Bereitschaft zur kritischen und selbstkritischen Auseinandersetzung mit der Last des vergangenen Katastrophenjahrhunderts deutet Sabrow als Ära der Aufarbeitung. Deren scheinbar festgefügte Gewissheiten werden heute immer stärker in Frage gestellt und lassen auf einen geschichtskulturellen Epochenumbruch vom Universalismus zum Partikularismus schließen.
Perspective Chapter: The Role of Modifiable Factors, Particularly Nutritional Factors, on Age-Related Sarcopenia
Authors: Shokri-Mashhadi Nafiseh
Published: June 2023

Advances in medicine result in an increase in the age of global population. The percentage of people over 60 years will approximately be duplicated up to 22 between 2015 and 2050, which is associated with a notable rise in age-related complications such as sarcopenia and frailty. The age-related sarcopenia is defined by low muscle strength, and it is considered severe if low muscle strength, low muscle mass, and low physical performance are detected.This condition is associated with poor quality of life, risk of falls, fractures, and higher healthcare costs. Despite the growing interest regarding the treatment of this phenomenon, the lack of adequate knowledge underlying the multifactorial parthenogenesis of age-related sarcopenia hinders the diagnosis of effective therapeutic approaches. In this respect, one of the major solutions would be to recognize the effect of modifiable factors on muscle health during the lifetime. Previous observations indicated that dietary and nutritional factors, beyond other environmental agents across the life course are related to muscle mass and function in the elderly. With respect to the fundamental role of nutrients with antioxidants properties in maintaining many aspects of health, this chapter aims to discuss the association between components of sarcopenia and nutritional status in older adults, and their potential effect on prevention and treatment of age-related sarcopenia.
Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A): Emerging Landscapes in Neuro-Ophthalmology and Central Nervous System (CNS) Disorders
Authors: Ibne Mokbul Mobin
Published: June 2023

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is now being widely used in several branches of biomedical science ranging from ophthalmology to neurology. Emerging from it, optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) is a noninvasive, depth-resolved imaging tool for the visualization of retinal vascular changes. In the field of neuro-ophthalmology, OCT-A proves to be superior than the conventional Fluorescein angiography (FA) or indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). This chapter discussed the role of OCT-A in different neuro-ophthalmological and central nervous system (CNS) disorders including multiple sclerosis, non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), papilledema, papillitis, glaucoma, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cerebral small vessel diseases, and stroke. Since neuro-ophthalmological and some neurologic conditions show consistent peripapillary and macular capillary changes, OCT-A can be a future useful tool in a physician’s armamentarium due to its capability for better delineation of the superficial and deeper retinal and choroidal vasculatures. Furthermore, its limitations, technical challenges, and future research directions are illustrated in this chapter.
Utilized System Model Using Channel State Information Network with Gated Recurrent Units (CsiNet-GRUs)
Authors: Helmy Hany , El Diasty Sherif , Shatila Hazem
Published: June 2023

MIMO: multiple-input multiple-output technology uses multiple antennas to use reflected signals to provide channel robustness and throughput gains. It is advantageous in several applications like cellular systems, and users are distributed over a wide coverage area in various applications such as mobile systems, improving channel state information (CSI) processing efficiency in massive MIMO systems. This chapter proposes two channel-based deep learning methods to enhance the performance in a massive MIMO system and compares our proposed technique to the previous methods. The proposed technique is based on the channel state information network combined with the gated recurrent unit’s technique CsiNet-GRUs, which increases recovery efficiency. Besides, a fair balance between compression ratio (CR) and complexity is given using correlation time in training samples. The simulation results show that the proposed CsiNet-GRUs technique fulfills performance improvement compared with the existing literature techniques, namely CS-based methods Conv-LSTM CsiNet, LASSO, Tval3, and CsiNet.
Intravenous Thrombolysis in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Authors: Morawo Adeolu
Published: June 2023

Acute ischemic stroke imposes significant morbidity and mortality on patients and proves costly for the society. The most common pathophysiology involves the obstruction of a cerebral arterial vessel with a thrombus leading to distal ischemia which unrelieved proceeds to infarction. Intravenous thrombolysis has emerged as an effective and safe strategy for reperfusion and has been shown to increase the odds of a long-term favorable outcome. For more than 2 decades, the mainstay of intravenous thrombolysis has been Alteplase. More recently however, Tenecteplase is increasingly incorporated into routine practice, and it has been shown to be superior to Alteplase for recanalization in patients with large vessel occlusion, and at least non-inferior in patients without large vessel occlusion. Newer studies have expanded the time windows, introduced “the tissue clock”, and included patients that were previously considered ineligible for thrombolysis, altogether increasing the pool of stroke patients with favorable outcomes.
The Premenstrual Assessment Form: Short Form (PAF-SF) – Additional Psychometric Analyses of a Brief Measure of Premenstrual Symptoms
Authors: M. Joyce Kayla , H. Stewart Sherry
Published: June 2023

The Premenstrual Assessment Form–Short Form (PAF-SF) is a 10-item measure that assesses premenstrual symptom severity. There is little research assessing the PAF-SF’s psychometrics and proposed subscales (affect/water retention/pain). This chapter aims to assess the 10-item PAF-SF’s psychometric properties (i.e., internal consistency, and structural/criterion-related/known groups validity). Eighty-seven naturally cycling females (Mage = 28.86 years, SD = 6.11) participated. Participants completed the 10-item PAF-SF; the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory–Trait subscale (STAI-T); and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 (SCID-5) premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) module. With principal components analysis, we extracted and compared three-factor (affect/water retention/pain) and two-factor (psychological/physiological) solutions for the PAF-SF. The two-factor solution was selected for its greater interpretability, simple structure, internal consistencies, and parsimony. Participants with versus without a provisional PMDD diagnosis had higher psychological subscale scores; unexpectedly, PMDD group differences were not observed on the physiological subscale. Psychological, but not physiological, subscale scores were positively correlated with trait anxiety and PMDD affective symptom count. Scores on the physiological subscale were positively correlated with the PMDD somatic symptom count. Psychological subscale scores were also positively correlated with the PMDD somatic symptom count. The 10-item PAF-SF appears to be a reliable and valid measure of premenstrual symptom severity and comprises psychological and physiological symptom domains.
Infinite Opinion Sets and Relative Accuracy
Authors: Park Ilho , Jung Jaemin ,   Journal of Philosophy Inc.
Published: June 2023

We can have credences in an infinite number of propositions—that is, our opinion set can be infinite. Accuracy-first epistemologists have devoted themselves to evaluating credal states with the help of the concept of ‘accuracy’. Unfortunately, under several innocuous assumptions, infinite opinion sets yield several undesirable results, some of which are even fatal, to accuracy-first epistemology. Moreover, accuracy-first epistemologists cannot circumvent these difficulties in any standard way. In this regard, we will suggest a non-standard approach, called a relativistic approach, to accuracy-first epistemology and show that such an approach can successfully circumvent undesirable results while having some advantages over the standard approach.
Paul Ricoeur y Maurice Halbwachs, una aproximación a su formación histórica
Authors: Villalba María Auxiliadora
Published: June 2023

Las premisas que hará Maurice Halbwachs en referencia a la memoria, permitirá develar hasta qué punto la historia intelectual es guardiana de la Historia en sí (Namer, 2007). Maurice Halbwachs nace en Reims, una ciudad situada al noroeste de Francia en 1877, es hijo de un profesor alemán. Falleciendo sin poder conocer su legado, Halbwachs significó uno de los personajes de mayor importancia en el mundo de la sociología y la filosofía de la historia. (Namer, 2007). En Francia a inicios del siglo XX el llamado “movimiento del solidarismo”, permite fundar la Tercera República sobre la solidaridad del sabio y del proletariado, frente al auge de la monarquía sangrienta y de la Iglesia (Namer, 2007). Partirá a partir de aquí, la idea de la historia verificable (Namer, 2004).
Atención escolar al niño enfermo hospitalizado: Estado de la cuestión
Authors: Domínguez Vizcaya Mª Ángeles
Published: June 2023

Con el presente Trabajo Final de Grado, hemos querido investigar sobre una labor para muchos desconocida y no siempre suficientemente valorada: la atención educativa prestada a niños hospitalizados. Tenemos docente/s, alumnos, aula, y a este cóctel le añadimos un toque particular consistente en batas blancas, fonendoscopios, pies de goteros, quirófanos, camas… y un entorno muy particular: Un Centro Sanitario. Hemos salido de los muros de los Colegios y nos hemos adentrado en los de los centros sanitarios, descubriendo un trabajo desarrollado por profesionales que han llegado allí guiados por la vocación docente y el amor hacia los niños, desarrollando una atención desconocida y que se encuentra fuertemente condicionada por el estado de salud que atraviesan muchos, en muchas ocasiones bastante delicado. Estos niños, tienen derecho a la educación, y esa es la razón de su existencia. Recogemos a lo largo de la investigación; sus orígenes, los objetivos que persigue, la metodología empleada, la legislación que lo contempla. Para que el estudio fuera más veraz, nos hemos colado en esas aulas y nos hemos encontrado con niños que merecen que se les atiendan, que se les reconforte, que se les anime a no dejar de lado su aprendizaje.
Excess Death Rate in Eastern European Countries and Countries of the Former USSR during the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Years 2020 and 2021
Authors:   Poznań University of Economics and Business, Poland, MURKOWSKI RADOSŁAW
Published: June 2023

Measuring the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on mortality on the basis of deaths reported by statistical offices by cause may be challenging due to the often poor quality of data. Therefore, this study analysed the level of excess mortality, regardless of the cause, to measure the true impact of the epidemic on the number of deaths. The analysis focused on selected countries from Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia as well as the Russian Federation, and was limited to the period 2020–2021. Time series analysis methods were used in order to account for seasonal fluctuations in mortality throughout the year. It was determined that some of the studied countries were “blind” to the development of the coronavirus epidemic in selected periods. The findings from this study allow the true scale and extent of the COVID-19 epidemic to be assessed correctly. Taking into account excess deaths would lead to substantial increase in the number of deaths attributed to the COVID-19. In the case of the 19 countries surveyed this number should be increased from the level of nearly 800,000 officially reported deaths to over 2 million excess deaths. The actual scale of deaths experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic has had grave ramifications both for society and various sectors of the economy.

Published: June 2023

Holobiyont kavramıyla açıklanan binlerce varoluşu içinde barındıran tek bir varoluş olarak insanın sağlık ve hastalık durumlarının şekillenmesinde mikrobiyota oldukça önemli bir rol oynar. Mikrobiyota konak sağlığını doğrudan veya dolaylı mekanizmalarla etkiler. Mikrobiyota patojenlere karşı kolonizasyon direnci oluşturarak doğrudan konak sağlığını destekler. Oluşturduğu metabolitler, salgıladığı nörotransmitter öncülleri veya konağın çeşitli substratlarını biyotransformasyona uğratmak yolaklarıyla da dolaylı yoldan konak sağlığını destekler. Mikrobiyota, mikrobiyota temelli tedavi stratejilerinin geliştirilmesi için pek çok terapötik hedef sunar. Konak- mikrobiyota etkileşim mekanizmaların aydınlatılması şüphesiz ki mikrobiyota temelli yeni ve etkili tedavi yaklaşımlarının geliştirilmesini sağlayabilecektir. Uzun zamandır antibiyotik kullanımının mikrobiyotayı değiştirebildiği ve özellikle uzun süreli kullanımın kommensal mikrobiyota üzerinde tahribat oluşturduğu bilinmekle birlikte; mikrobiyotanın ilaçlar üzerindeki etkisi gündeme gelmemiştir. Yakın zamanda söz edilmeye başlanan farmakomikrobiyomik, ilaçların farmakokinetiği ve toksisitesi üzerinde mikrobiyotanın etkisini inceler. Farmakomikrobiyomik alanındaki çalışmalar ilaç mikrobiyota etkileşiminin çift yönlü olduğunu desteklemekle birlikte bu alanda yapılacak araştırmalar kişiselleştirilmiş ilaç kullanımı ve ilaçların etkiliğinin mikrobiyota yoluyla arttırılması için yol gösterici olacaktır. Bu derlemenin amacı mikrobiyotanın konak üzerindeki etki mekanizmalarına vurgu yapmak ve gelecek vaat eden terapötik bir hedef olarak mikrobiyotanın potansiyelini değerlendirmektir.

Introduction of complementary feeding: analysis of practices and factors that influence parental decisions
Authors: Ribeiro Isadora Cristine , Ito Vivian Cristina
Published: June 2023

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that mothers exclusively breastfeed their infant for the first six months to achieve optimal growth and development. In addition, children should receive nutritious complementary foods and continue to breastfeed until age two years or older. Several factors still greatly influence the introduction of complementary feeding (ICF). Thus, this research aimed to analyze whether parents perform the appropriate ICF for their children. This survey used a questionnaire prepared via Google Forms®, with 58 participants, 100% women with 28 years old on average. Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) until the sixth month was reported by 51.7% of the interviewees. Based on feeding characteristics, 69% started introducing food at six months old. Regarding early ICF, infant formula was the most offered food (36.2%). Foods such as crackers, stuffed biscuits, sugar, fruit juice, and cow's milk were offered early to children younger than 24 months. The lack of information, the economic factor, time concerning work, and practicality were the factors that interfered with the introduction of food to children. The importance of professional nutritionists in raising awareness among parents is highlighted, transmitting confidence and aiming at an adequate introduction of complementary foods.

What Type of Type I Error?
Authors: Rubin Mark
Published: June 2023

In this paper (Rubin, 2021), I consider two types of Type I error probability. The Neyman-Pearson Type I error rate refers to the maximum frequency of incorrectly rejecting a null hypothesis if a test was to be repeatedly reconducted on a series of different random samples that are all drawn from the exact same null population. Hence, the Neyman-Pearson Type I error rate refers to a long run of exact replications. In contrast, the Fisherian Type I error probability is the probability of...

Published: June 2023

En el contexto actual del territorio, el desarrollo local sostenible es el aprovechamiento eficaz y equilibrado de los recursos disponibles conducentes al bienestar económico, humano, cultural y medioambiental. A partir de esta definición se establecen las bases para la elaboración de una estrategia de desarrollo local sostenible en comunidades rurales. Se partió de un diagnóstico del estado de conservación de la vertiente oriental de los Andes centrales, corredor ecológico Llanganates Sangay en el valle del Anzu. Se estableció la presencia y la diversidad de mastofauna con el empleo de trampas-cámara, huellas, encuestas y entrevistas a pobladores. Se realizaron encuestas en seis comunidades rurales; con métodos multivariados e inferencia estadística se determinó la tipología socioeconómica comunitaria. Mediante taller de trabajo con la Universidad Estatal Amazónica se determinaron criterios para lograr la sostenibilidad ecológica. Se registraron 35 especies de macro mamíferos, de 8 órdenes y 20 familias, 10 están amenazadas. Destacaron especies bandera como oso andino, tapir andino y amazónico, puma y chorongo. Las comunidades rurales expresaron dependencia entre 55 y 61,47% de los recursos locales; manifestaron relación cultural con la conservación y conocimiento de especies susceptibles de agregación de valor. Una agenda para impulsar el desarrollo sostenible debe contar con la colaboración entre las comunidades y la universidad, el monitoreo frecuente desde zonas adyacentes a los parques nacionales Llanganates y Sangay, hasta zonas boscosas parcialmente protegidas, que conecten el hábitat disponible con las comunidades,en relación con la conservación de los ecosistemas sub andinos y tropicales, para fortalecer las iniciativas locales.
تحديات الحرية في تركستان الشرقيّة
Authors: Aydın Abdulhekim
Published: June 2023

ملخص البحث
قضية الحرية في تركستان الشرقية من أهم القضايا التي تعاني منها تركستان الشرقية منذ الاحتلال؛ بحيث يعد طلب الحرية في المنطقة بالوسائل المختلفة من أشد الجرائم عند الحكومة الظالمة، سواء بالكتابات العلمية، أو بالمظاهرات السلمية، وسواء محتجين بالقوانين الوضعية أو القوانين الدولية وحقوق الإنسان، وهي تسبب لانتهاك الحرمات وهتك الأعراض والأنفس، ولايوجد أمامها أي شعور بالإنسانية أو حقوق الإنسان أو القوانين أو النظام أو غيرها. وقد استفاد أهل تركستان الشرقية من الحرية بالمفهوم الإسلامي في حياتهم الواقعية لمحافظة هويتهم وثقافتهم الإسلامية من الانحرافات والاضمحلال وظهرت آثارها الإيجابية على مجتمع تركستان الشرقية من ناحية فكرية ودينية واجتماعية وسياسية، فعقيب هذه المجهودات رجعت محاولات التغيير والقمع والإبادة للسلطات الصينية بالفشل والهزيمة رغم شدة السياسات الشيوعية في منع حريات أهل تركستان الشرقية من ممارسة شعائر الإسلام وأحكامها منذ سبعين سنة. وهذه الدراسة تتناول الأحكام أو القضايا المتعلقة بالأقليات المسلمة في إطار الفقه الإسلامي تحديدا، وتحاول بيان فعاليتها وآثارها الإيجابية على واقع الأقليات المسلمة لحل مشكلاتها، وستتناول مسلمي الأويغور كنموذج واقعي، وهو أيضا يعد إسهاما لتناول قضايانا المخذولة في الدراسات الإسلامية.
Effectiveness of Aqua-acupuncture for Reducing Stress of Canine Patients in Veterinary Clinics
Authors: Mier Heidi
Published: June 2023

The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) aqua-acupuncture (aqua-AP) for mitigating veterinary clinic visit stress in dogs. Twenty dogs with a history of stress behaviors at veterinary clinics were recruited and randomly assigned to either Control Group (sham aqua-AP) or Test Group (aqua-AP at GV-20 and bilateral An-shen). Only dogs with an elevated heart rate (HR) or exhibiting a positive stress behavior 10 minutes after arrival were included. The change (baseline to 15 and 30-minutes post-treatment) was compared between the 2 study groups for each stress measurement: HR, salivary cortisol and stress behavior score (average of panting, trembling, vocalizing, pacing, hiding, lip smacking). The study showed behavior score improvement at 15-min and 30-min post-treatment in both groups, however, improvement in the aqua-AP group was double that of the control dogs (61% vs 28% at 15 min, 50% vs 23% at 30 min, respectively). When considering only panting behavior, which dominated the behavioral score, the Test Group improvement when compared to Control Group at 15-min (46% vs 10% decrease, respectively) and 30-min (50% vs 23% decrease, respectively) demonstrated a statistically significant difference between the 2 study groups (p= 0.008 at 15 min and 0.004 at 30 min). In both groups, the study did not find significant changes in either HR or salivary cortisol concentration (SCC), although the HRs were reduced in both groups. This small pilot study suggests vitamin B12 aqua-acupuncture (GV-20, An-shen) could be useful for reducing canine visit stress at veterinary clinics.

Published: June 2023

Los tumores malignos en la adolescencia son raros, y suelen ser de origen germinal. En particular, los tumores del seno endodérmico ovárico son excepcionales en esta población. En este reporte de caso, presentamos a una adolescente de 14 años diagnosticada con este tipo de tumor en el ovario derecho en el Servicio de Ginecología del Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño San Borja, en Lima, Perú. Este caso es el primero de su tipo en la institución y no se han reportado casos similares en nuestro país, lo que resalta su importancia. La paciente presentaba una gran tumoración mixta de 1470 gramos, detectada a través de la resonancia magnética de la pelvis. Los marcadores tumorales permitieron undiagnóstico presuntivo de tumor ovárico probablemente maligno. Por lo tanto, la paciente fue sometida a laparotomía, salpingooforectomía unilateral, biopsia de congelación y estadiaje. Posteriormente, la paciente recibió quimioterapia con buenos resultados, y los niveles de alfafetoproteína se normalizaron durante el seguimiento.
Interrelación clínico-radiológica: experiencia local en una región al extremo norte de Chile
Authors: Salazar-Santibáñez Andrés
Published: June 2023

Durante largo tiempo la práctica radiológica se realizó con el especialista separado del resto del equipo médico y del paciente, con una relación basada solo en la lectura del informe imagenológico (1,2). Esto ha provocado una distancia natural y tácita entre el médico solicitante del estudio y quien lo lleva a cabo, con consecuencias deletéreas en la comunicación y entrega de información efectiva entre colegas y el consiguiente menoscabo en la calidad y pertinencia del resultado clínico que debemos entregar a nuestros pacientes.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the development of the tourism industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan, to study global indicators of sustainable development of the industry, to identify problems and factors affecting the competitiveness of tourism. It is indicated that the Sustainable development of Goals are laid down by the UN in the "Agenda for the XXI century" are being successfully implemented in Kazakhstan. The methodological basis of the research was the methods of abstraction, scientific analysis, synthesis of the information received, system analysis, expert vision of the problem, as well as empirical methods: observation, comparison, identification of cause-and-effect dependencies. It is noted that the tourism industry in Kazakhstan has begun to recover after the pandemic. In the global ranking of tourism competitiveness, the position of the country is improving, Kazakhstan has received a high rating on such indicators as "price competitiveness", "seasonality of tourism", "natural resources", "number of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites". However, the industry needs significant investments, the growth of income rate of the industry lags behind the GDP of country, and the pace of investment in the tourism industry lags behind the pace of investment in the country's economy as a whole. Digitalization and marketing of the industry are being actively implemented to solve problems, online platforms are being created, resources of popular social networks and platforms of world-famous information portals are being used.
Diseño y medición del rendimiento de un colector solar de agua sanitaria construido a partir de botellas recicladas de doble capa
Authors: Miranda Gassull Virginia
Published: June 2023

El estudio de calefones solares ha avanzado con alto grado de desarrollo en las últimas décadas. En este sentido, se propone comparar las ventajas y desventajas de utilizar doble capa de plástico en calefones solares con elementos reciclados respecto del uso de una capa simple de botellas PET. Los productos que se comparan se determinan por un sistema de calentamiento de agua sanitaria con energía solar fabricado con botellas recicladas y reutilizadas de PET en la provincia de Mendoza, Argentina. Dicho proyecto trata respecto de una problemática energética en la vivienda como la energía necesaria para producir el agua caliente sanitaria (ACS) para el uso domiciliario en poblaciones de bajos recursos o que habitan en zona alejadas a los centros urbanos y por ende a los servicios de red. Además es una alternativa a una problemática ambiental como es la incorrecta disposición de residuos sólidos plásticos, desaprovechando su potencial socioeconómico. Se propone una alternativa de reducción del consumo energético en el uso de calentadores: termo tanques o calefones instantáneos que utilizan gas, electricidad o leña para su funcionamiento. En el siguiente artículo se presentan y comparan los resultados del rendimiento de un sistema de agua sanitaria solar realizado con caños de polipropileno (P.P.) y un diseño de cubierta transparente con una botella de PET reciclado y con dos botellas de PET reciclado, estimando cual es el óptimo para cierto tipo de clima.

Не один рік точаться активні обговорення серед практиків та науковців про ефективність суду касаційної інстанції в Україні. Реалізація права кожної сторони на касаційне оскарження утворила перезавантаженість Вищих судів України, у зв’язку з цим деякі справи розглядались тривалий час, а касаційні оскарження надходили майже по кожній справі. Проте такі тенденції не відповідали завданням, які покладались на суди касаційної інстанції.
