Estado, participación antagonista y democracia en el marxismo de Lelio Basso
Authors: Ouviña Hernan
Published: November 2023

RESUMEN: El objetivo del artículo es reconstruir y analizar la concepción dialéctica del Estado y de la democracia esbozada por el marxista italiano Lelio Basso en sus principales obras, con el objetivo de superar la perspectiva “instrumentalista” de ciertas corrientes teóricas que lo definen como instancia plenamente neutral, o bien en tanto mero aparato represivo o bloque monolítico al servicio de las clases dominantes. Asimismo, se problematiza la noción de participación antagonista como categoría relevante para enriquecer el concepto de política prefigurativa, distinguiéndolo del de participación subalterna, que reenvía a lo que Basso considera son los múltiples “mecanismos de integración”, los cuales tienden a dotar de un rol secundario y subordinado a la clase trabajadora, fomentando su disciplinamiento y perdiendo por tanto de vista el horizonte estratégico de ruptura anti-capitalista. Finalmente, se aborda el vínculo entre política prefigurativa y vocación de autogobierno, en el marco del proceso general de construcción contra-hegemónica y de creciente democratización de la vida social teniendo como horizonte un socialismo anti-burocrático.

Authors: Akhaumere Emmanuel , Emokpae Mathias Abiodun
Published: November 2023

Background and aim: Infertile couples are increasingly turning to Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) for conception. Unfortunately, many of these women do not achieve clinical pregnancy and several factors such as hormonal imbalance, abnormal ovarian response, oxidative stress and senescence have been implicated. This study seeks to evaluate ovarian response to gonadotropin stimulation and the effect of oxidative stress and senescence on pregnancy outcome in women who enlisted in ART. Methods: A total of 46 women (mean age: 33.8±2.9 years and range 30-39) attending In-vitrofertilization (IVF) clinic at National Hospital Abuja were recruited for this study. Their blood specimens were collected four times at various stages during IVF treatment. Serum anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) was assayed using Cobas e411 auto-analyzer (ECLIA), total anti-oxidant status (TAS) was assayed using spectrophotometry method while Inhibin B was assayed using ELISA technique. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software. Results: Twenty-two subjects 22/46(47.8%) were high responders, 11/46(23.9%) were normal responders, while 13/46(28.3%) were low responders to gonadotrophin stimulation after down regulation. The differences between the mean values of AMH across interval of sample collection days were statistically insignificant (p>0.05). The differences between the mean values of TAS and INHB across interval of sample collection days were statistically insignificant (p>0.05). There was a positive correlation (r=0.443, p < 0.002) between AMH and number of oocytes produced. A total of 16/46 (34.8%) of subjects were clinically pregnant while 30/46 (65.2%) achieved no pregnancy. Conclusion: Total Antioxidant Status and AMH levels appear to have affected pregnancy outcome. Therefore, TAS and AMH assays should be included as part of pre-IVF screening so as to improve pregnancy outcome in IVF treated women. Relevance for patients: This is a cross-sectional ....

Authors: Ahmed Shaila , Akhter Taslima , Begum Taslima
Published: November 2023

Background: Superficial fungal infections (SFIs) affecting the skin are highly prevalent in both rural and urban areas of Bangladesh. The occurrence and features of these infections differ based on factors such as age, gender, climate, lifestyle, and population migration patterns. Surprisingly, no previous studies have been conducted in Bangladesh to assess the prevalence and patterns of superficial fungal infections. Therefore, this study was initiated to identify the characteristics of SFIs among rural patients seeking medical care at the Dermatology outpatient Department of Dermatology, Holy Family Red Crescent Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Objective: The main objective of the study is to assess the pervasiveness of superficial fungal infections in the rural and urban areas of Bangladesh. Methods: From January 2020 to December 2022, there were 3650 patients visited in Dermatology outpatient department. Out of them, 860 patients diagnosed as SFIs (442 males and 418 females), aged between birth to 90 years were included in this study. The diagnosis of SFIs was based on clinical presentation which was confirmed by laboratory direct microscopy and culture. Results: In a comprehensive study involving 860 patients diagnosed with superficial fungal infections (SIFs), the distribution and prevalence of these infections across different age groups and genders were analyzed. The overall gender distribution showed that 51.36% of cases were in males and 48.64% in females. Tinea cruris emerged as the most frequent infection at 22.63%, predominantly affecting males (25.81%). Pityriasis versicolor followed closely with a balanced gender distribution at 12.81%. Notable variations in Tinea pedis and Tinea capitis percentages emphasized the gender-specific nature of certain infections. Among children (0-14 years), comprising 29.95% of the total cases, Tinea capitis was the most prevalent (26.67%), followed by oral thrush (21.67%) and Tinea corporis (13.33%). .......

Published: November 2023

Introduction

Laboratory testing is a fundamental diagnostic and prognostic tool to ensure the quality of healthcare, treatment, and responses. This study aimed to evaluate the cost of laboratory tests performed for patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment in the oncology treatment center at Johns Hopkins Aramco Healthcare in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, we aimed to reduce the cost of unnecessary laboratory tests in a 1-year period.

Methods

This was a quality improvement study with a quasi-experimental design using DMAIC methodology. The intervention strategy involved educating staff about adhering to the British Columbia Cancer Agency (BCCA) guidelines when ordering laboratory tests for chemotherapy patients, then integrating those guidelines into the electronic health record system. Data were collected for 200 randomly selected cases with 10 different chemotherapy protocols before and after the intervention. A paired t test was used to analyze differences in mean cost for all laboratory tests and unnecessary testing before and after the intervention.

Results

A significant cost reduction was achieved for unnecessary laboratory tests (77%, p < 0.01) when following the BCCA guidelines. In addition, the mean cost of all laboratory tests (including necessary and unnecessary) was significantly reduced by 45.5% (p = 0.023).

Conclusion

Lean thinking in clinical practice, realized by integrating a standardized laboratory test guided by BCCA guidelines into the electronic health record, significantly reduced financial costs within 1 year, thereby enhancing efficient resource utilization in the organization. This quality improvement project may serve to increase awareness of further efforts to improve resource utilization for other oncology treatment protocols.

The decentralization reform and the issues of agglomeration management in Ukraine
Authors: Zhuk Petro V. , Siryk Zenoviy O.
Published: November 2023

The issues of agglomeration management are considered. The authors point out the difficulties in balancing the interests of administrative-territorial entities operating within their borders and the forms of agglomeration management used in the world practice. Special attention is paid to the advantages of merging agglomerations into separate administrative-territorial units with the corresponding acquisition of legal personality by agglomerations. The article assesses the implementation of the national decentralization reform in terms of voluntary consolidation of territorial communities located within agglomerations with regional centers and cities with special status as their cores. The authors find that the relevant opportunities for agglomerations to acquire legal personality have been realized to a small extent. In particular, seven cities have remained within their boundaries and haven’t included any of the neighboring communities and their settlements in the consolidation. Most of the other oblast centers have included 1-2 settlements in the process of consolidation. Only three regional centers have created territorial communities covering 50-60% of the agglomeration area; five others have created communities covering 25-40%. The article argues that the reasons for the low rate of utilization of the opportunities provided by the reform for solving the problems of agglomeration management through the acquisition of legal personality in the form of a territorial community are both subjective and objective in nature: low activity of the oblast center authorities in initiating community consolidations in their areas of attraction; unwillingness of the representatives of governing bodies of administrative-territorial units to lose power in the process of consolidation; concerns of the residents of communities adjacent to the oblast centers of losing influence on decision-making on the development of their community, management of land plots, unregulated at the legislative level issues of protection of the interests of the residents of communities that consolidate with the oblast center, their guaranteed representation in the elected bodies of the consolidated territorial community; risks of ignoring the interests of the attached communities by the governing bodies of the communities of the oblast centers; risks of making suboptimal decisions on the ways of territorial development with the restriction of the representation of stakeholders in the decision-making process.

Published: November 2023

Buildings' carbon emissions are the main contributor to climate change. The world needs to be able to foresee and further reduce construction carbon emissions if it wants to prevent the worst effects of climate change. The main challenge in carbon emission prediction for buildings is how to increase algorithm accuracy. Therefore, a novel technique for calculating carbon emissions is proposed in this study. The proposed technique uses improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) and deep neural network (DNN) to anticipate carbon emissions. DNN is employed in the proposed technique to forecast carbon emissions. The parameters used are fine-tuned using the improved PSO. Additionally, it chooses features that increase the predictability of carbon emissions. In this study, many methods for predicting carbon emissions are examined, including decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), support vector regression (SVR), DNN, and the proposed method. The outcomes demonstrate that the proposed technique can lower root mean square logarithmic error (RMSLE) prediction, and the final testing result of RMLSE is 0.3476 in this study. It demonstrates that the proposed method performs better than other alternatives when compared and has good implementation ability.

Authors: Allwan Al Amery Lect. Amer Sagheer
Published: November 2023

The discourse of (Expert) witnesses' testimonies represents one of the most important legal texts that occupy a great importance within the legal system. Such testimonies usually full of ideologies whether overt or covert, that affect the course of courtroom trials. The theories and approaches of critical discourse analysis can be of a great advantage in detecting, analyzing and explaining these ideologies and their motivation. The researcher chooses Wodak's (2009) Discourse-Historical Approach DHA approach in analyzing the discourse of the selected expert witness testimony as it provides the sound umbrella of analyzing such kinds of discourse. The conducted analysis proves that CDA approaches are useful in analysing such kinds of texts to detect the linguistic strategies and devices used by the expert witness such as contextual factors, focusing, hedging, naming, repetition, etc. to defend his stance.

Synthesizing organocatalysts is often a long and cost-intensive process, therefore, the recovery and reuse of the catalysts are particularly important to establish sustainable organocatalytic transformations. In this work, we demonstrate the synthesis, application, and recycling of a new lipophilic cinchona squaramide organocatalyst. The synthesized lipophilic organocatalyst was applied in Michael additions. The catalyst was utilized to promote the Michael addition of cyclohexyl Meldrum’s acid to 4-chloro-trans-β-nitrostyrene (quantitative yield, up to 96% ee). Moreover, 1 mol % of the catalyst was feasible to conduct the gram-scale preparation of baclofen precursor (89% yield, 96% ee). Finally, thanks to the lipophilic character of the catalyst, it was easily recycled after the reaction by replacing the non-polar reaction solvent with a polar solvent, acetonitrile, with 91–100% efficiency, and the catalyst was reused in five reaction cycles without the loss of activity and selectivity.

Nanocellulose-based Hydrogels: Preparation Strategies, Dye Adsorption and Factors Impacting
Authors: Rana Ashvinder K.
Published: November 2023

The improper disposal of dyes without any prior treatment is one of the main causes of water pollution around the globe. Since dye-contaminated water contains a variety of hazardous elements, which may harm the aquatic ecosystem, impact the aquatic organisms and ultimately enter the food web chain. The most effective ways to recycle dye-contaminated waste water are adsorption, electrolysis, advanced oxidation, etc. Out of these techniques, adsorption strategy, due to its superior physico-chemical features, has been preferably employed for treating polluted water. In this review article, the potential of pure nitrocellulose (NC) hydrogel, metal/metal oxide or photo-adsorbents-based, metal-organic-framework supported, surface functionalized, bio-materials filled NC-based hydrogels for dyes adsorption has been thoroughly reviewed. The impact of different factors such as pH, time, temperature and filler/additives on dye adsorption/degradation capability of NC-based adsorbents, and kinetic and isotherm data of dye adsorption has been assessed systematically. Further, the influence of different eluents on the recycling ability of various NC- based hydrogels has also been fully assessed.

Nesta investigação objetivamos analisar como são organizadas as formações continuadas das educadoras da infância no contexto das interações e brincadeiras. A problemática segue o seguinte questionamento: Como são organizadas as formações continuadas das educadoras da infância no contexto das interações e brincadeiras? Para isso no percurso metodológico, optamos pela abordagem qualitativa, com pesquisa exploratória. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados deram-se pela aplicação do formulário Google Forms para 07 sujeitos, pois a pesquisa exploratória ocorreu no período pandêmico, nos meses de agosto de 2020 a janeiro de 2021. Assim sendo, consolidamos a nossa fundamentação com autores que tratam do brincar na infância, como: Kishimoto (2010; 2011), Friedman (2012), Almeida (2014) e os autores que apontam a importância da formação na constituição do educador, conforme a saber: Papi (2005), Imbernón (2011), Gauthier (2013), Tardif (2014). Por se tratar de um estudo relevante no contexto da formação continuada na infância, que tem como meta possibilitar as educadoras conhecimentos para que as interações e as brincadeiras sejam norteadoras da prática docente, os resultados comprovam que existem desafios a serem, tanto pelas docentes quanto a equipe pedagógica no tocante a melhoria do processo formativo em foco.
