The present essay offers a discussion of the problems connected with establishing a journal devoted to the history of Russian philosophy and culture. In this article, we reveal the prerequisites that were needed for the creation, goals and objectives of the journals “Solovyov Studies” and “Russian Philosophy”. The role of scientific centers – the Ivanovo Interregional Scientific and Educational Center for the Investigation of V.S. Solovyov’s Legacy (Solovyov Seminar) and the St. Petersburg seminar “Russian Thought” - in the formation of journals is emphasized. We show the importance of source studies and publications as the most important condition and prerequisite for a reliable reconstruction of the history of Russian philosophy. We also consider the various forms of scientific and educational activities of journals and the problems associated with the training of research personnel who are capable and ready to work with archival documents. Finally, we characterize the thematic diversity of the content of the first two issues of the journal “Russian Philosophy”.

Introduction. Computer modeling and additive technologies are increasingly used in medicine. Oncoorthopedics is no exception. Careful preoperative planning and the creation of individual instruments make it possible to perform radical operations, which allows maximum preservation of healthy tissues and leads to an increase in the functional potential of patients in the postoperative period.Objective – to improve the results of surgical treatment of patients with malignant bone tumors of complex anatomical localizations using computer modeling and additive technologies.Materials and methods. This study included 44 patients (26 men and 18 women) with malignant bone tumors. The mean age of the patients was 39 ± 15.57 years (range 14 to 66 years). In 39 cases, the anatomical location of PSI application was the pelvis, in four cases it was the distal femur, and in one case the femoral shaft. The most common histological type of tumor was chondrosarcoma (47.7 %).Results. In the case of primary resection of the pelvic bone tumor (26 patients), according to the histological examination, radical resection margins (R0) were observed in 25 cases. In one case, after removal of the tumor, a discrepancy between the preoperative histological conclusion (G2 chondrosarcoma) and postoperative (dedifferentiated G3 chondrosarcoma) was revealed. During operations to remove tumors of the distal segment of the femur and resection of the tumor of the diaphysis of the femur, in all cases, the radicality was R0.Conclusion. Individual navigation devices have proven themselves in clinical practice. The results obtained in our study demonstrate their effectiveness in the treatment of malignant bone tumors.

Published: July 2022

Effective nutritional-metabolic support strategies are of interest to athletes, coaches, and physicians prescribing various supplements. Dietary deficiencies in macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals of the right type can interfere with training adaptation, while for athletes who eat a balanced diet; physiological training adaptation can be enhanced. Therefore, in the event of a lack of specific nutrients, athletes are forced to use various supplements, but will individual combinations of these supplements be safe for the body as a whole and will be effective for improving athletic performance? This study analyzes and summarizes studies on the compatibility of some supplements and the safety and efficacy of such combinations in sports, in particular: the compatibility of vitamins E and C, vitamin D and calcium, creatine and caffeine, and branched chain amino acids (isoleucine, leucine, and valine).

Authors: Buryak Vladimir N. , Antonova Tatyana I. , Dudko Maria V. , Shepelenko Kirill K. , Malysheva Inna V.
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: The problem of atopic dermatitis today remains one of the unsolved problems of pediatrics and pediatric allergology. Among the etiopathogenetic mechanisms of atopic dermatitis, the role of endo-allergens formed as a result of impaired digestion and absorption processes in the gastrointestinal tract of a child is separately noted. In such conditions, the load on the detoxification function of the liver increases. In connection with this circumstance, the study of the functional activity of the liver in children with atopic dermatitis is of particular interest. One of its criteria is the nature of intrahepatic hemodynamics.

AIM: To find out the features of intrahepatic hemodynamics in the development of atopic dermatitis in children.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: 83 children aged 6 months to 5 years with a diagnosis of atopic dermatitis, who made up the main research group, and 33 practically healthy children of the same age, who formed a control group, were examined. The nature of heredity for allergic pathology and morbidity of the gastrointestinal tract was found out in all patients. To obtain information about the functional activity of the liver in all children, hepatic blood flow in the hepatic artery and hepatic vein was studied.

RESULTS: Violation of intrahepatic hemodynamics was revealed in children with atopic dermatitis. The blood flow in the hepatic artery in them was characterized by a decrease, and the blood flow in the hepatic vein was characterized by an increase in speed indicators. The detected violations of intrahepatic hemodynamics in children with atopic dermatitis are regarded by the authors of this study as a manifestation of a decrease in the functional activity of hepatocytes in conditions of increased allergenic load.

CONCLUSIONS: The study clearly demonstrated a violation of the functional state of hepatocytes in children suffering from atopic dermatitis, expressed in the suppression of hepatic hemodynamics. The question of the primary or secondary nature of this violation is the subject of discussion and further scientific research.

Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: The article studies the relationship between connective tissue dysplasia and neurocirculatory dysfunction. They are united by a systematic and multi-organ nature of complaints and violations. The frequency of occurrence of neurocirculatory dysfunction in connective tissue dysplasia depends on the severity of phenotypic signs and is 23.531.1%.

AIM: The aim of this study is to evaluate the significance of the method of duplex scanning of the main cerebral vessels, as well as to evaluate the relationship of the obtained parameters with the data of neurosonography, radiography of the cervical spine in children with signs of neurocirculatory dysfunction and connective tissue dysplasia.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The duplex scanning method was used to study the main vessels of the neck that provide blood supply to the brain: common and internal carotid, vertebral arteries in 240 children hospitalized for somatic various diseases.

RESULTS: The presence of diagnostically significant changes in the cervical spine was found in 111 of them (46.3%): hypoplasia of the CI or СII vertebrae with cranial subluxations, instability of the cervical spine, and juvenile osteochondrosis. In children diagnosed with neurocirculatory dysfunction without signs of connective tissue dysplasia, disturbances in the form of asymmetry of blood flow along the entire vertebral artery prevail in comparison with the comparison group. In patients with more pronounced signs of connective tissue dysplasia, structural features of the cervical spine (hypoplasia of the CI or СII vertebrae with cranial subluxations, instability, juvenile osteochondrosis) and impaired blood flow of the main arteries are significantly more common.

CONCLUSIONS: According to the data of duplex scanning of the main arteries of the neck, disorders in the form of hemodynamically significant asymmetry of blood flow in the vertebral arteries at different levels are significantly more common. In patients with pronounced signs of connective tissue dysplasia, structural features of the cervical spine and impaired blood flow of the main arteries of the neck are significantly more common. The presence of connective tissue dysplasia may be one of the causes of the above disorders.

Published: July 2022

Immunotherapy is a promising and rapidly developing method of therapy patients with different oncological pathology. Considering the demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of patients with some solid tumors, as well as low survival rates and the absence of a significant effect in the standard treatment of most patients with glioblastomas, the question of the use of immunotherapy for malignant gliomas of the brain was raised. However, to decision this problem, it is necessary to consider the interaction of the immune system with tumors of this group. The modern view of the interaction of immunity and glioblastoma is presented. Special attention is paid to the mechanisms of tumor escape and suppression of the functional activity of immune system. The current immunotherapeutic approaches in the treatment of patients with glioblastoma are presented. Interaction of glioblastoma with immune system at all the stages of tumor growth is a complex process. While planning the immunotherapy of this pathology its necessary to take into consideration all mechanisms used by the tumor cells to avoid the immune response and suppress it. However, the clinical studies of this type of therapy proved to be less successful than expected. Further detailed studies of immune-resistance and escape of gliobloastoma must contribute to working out more effective immunotherapy tactics.

Published: July 2022

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis is a group of hereditary neurodegenerative diseases inherited by an autosomal recessive trait. This disease is the most common neurodegenerative pathology in children with a prevalence of 1:1,000,000 to 1:14,000 in the world. Currently, 14 genetically different forms of this pathology have been identified, which are characterized by the accumulation of abnormal lipofuscin-like material in the lysosomes of nerve cells, progressive and selective destruction of neurons. In neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, there is a defect in the gene that translates various lysosomal enzymes. Due to the insufficiency of the enzyme tripeptidyl peptidase 1, an accumulation of pathological autofluorescent lipopigment is observed in the central nervous system (CNS) of the patient, leading to violations of the normal function of neurons. Clinically, the disease manifests at the age of 34 years, in the form of progressive myoclonic epilepsy, mental and motor disorders, delays and stops in development. The article describes data on the prevalence, clinical features and therapy of this pathology, and also presents a clinical case with the onset of the disease in a child aged 2 years 11 months. The clinical case demonstrates the difficulties of diagnosing this pathology due to the rarity of this pathology, a wide range of differential diagnostics, the duration and high cost of molecular genetic studies. An early diagnosing would make it possible to explain the nature of epilepsy, to choose a rational therapy for this disease in a timely manner.

Published: July 2022

Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) is the most severe form of staphyloderma in newborns and young children. The disease is associated with the production of exfoliatin toxin by Staphylococcus aureus, which breaks down desmoglein 1 in the cells of the granular layer of the epidermis, which leads to the formation of superficial blisters. The differential diagnosis is with toxic epidermal necrolysis (Lyells syndrome, TEN). The development of TEN is more often associated with the use of drugs such as sulfonamides, anticonvulsants, antibiotics, etc. As an illustration of the difficulty of differential diagnosis, we present our clinical observation of a 1-year-old girl. The girl was admitted in serious condition to the intensive care unit with a diagnosis of Lyells syndrome. At the admission, extensive skin lesions were noted in the form of multiple flaccid blisters and erosions. At the same time, the mucous membranes were not affected. The department was diagnosed with staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome. Thus, the differential diagnosis of the syndrome of SSSS and TEN presents certain difficulties. When making a diagnosis, it is necessary to take into account the anamnesis, clinical manifestations, paying special attention to the defeat of the mucous membranes.

Published: July 2022

The study analyzed the characteristics of the public and private emergency welfare support through a literature review. As a result, the public sector contributes numerous roles, such as discovering people in crisis, replenishing the blind spots, and networking people in need with private organizations’s support. The private sector plays the role of being the final solution of the blind spots of public assistance, supplementing social safety nets, and complementing the public sector. Furthermore, the study found several problems in the public and private sectors: first, the overlapping of public emergency support recipients with other public policy recipients due to the ambiguous boundary; second, the insufficiency of income security for low-income people despite both public and private support. Lastly, the lack of linkage and cooperation between private support and public social security system. Based on the findings, the study suggests policy implications related to the emergency welfare programs.

This study analyzes the effect of self-efficacy on depression among older adults with disabilities and verifies the moderating effect of social support on it. This study selected 140 people with disabilities aged 65 years and older based on the data from a survey by the Gyeonggi-do Association of Persons with Physical Disabilities in 2021. A hierarchical multiple regression model was used to analyze the paths between major variables and verify their moderating effect. The results show the following. First, self-efficacy among older adults with disabilities had a positive effect on their depression―a lower level of self-efficacy resulted in a higher level of depression. Second, social support had a negative association on depression― a higher level of social support led to a lower level of depression. Third, social support moderated the effect of self-efficacy on depression. This study suggests that it is necessary to provide a practical intervention that considers psychological factors such as self-efficacy and the socioenvironmental resource of social support in developing programs and policies intended to prevent depression among older adults with disabilities.

Sve veće oslanjanje na proizvodnju energije iz biomase rezultira povećanjem proizvodnje pepela, kao ostataka nakon izgaranja biomase. Primjena pepela u poljoprivredi postaje sve aktualnija kao alternativa odlaganju na odlagališta. Vrijednost pepela kao materijala za kalcizaciju, gnojiva ili poboljšivača tla, kao i mogućnost i količina primjene pepela u proizvodnji na oranicama ili travnjacima, ovise o sadržaju makro- i mikrohraniva, potencijalnoj neutralizacijskoj vrijednosti pepela te sadržaju teških metala (TM) i ostalih potencijalno onečišćujućih tvari. Pepeo iz biomase sadrži značajne količine hraniva (Ca, K, Mg, P, Fe), može se primijeniti kao materijal za kalcizaciju koji utječe na fizikalna i kemijska svojstva tla, mikrobiološku aktivnost tla i razgradnju organske tvari (OT) tla, te u konačnici povećava produktivnost poljoprivrednih kultura. Primjena pepela na travnjacima i proizvodnji voluminozne krme u količini 6-22 t ha-1 rezultira povećanjem produktivnosti krmnih vrsta, povećanjem udjela mahunarki i sijanih trava u tratini i povećanjem hranjive vrijednosti krme.

The study presents the results of a three-year experiment (2013–2015) that was carried out to determine a relationship between the soybean yield components and the seed yield under different irrigation treatments. The results indicated that the study year had the greatest effect on the number of nodes per plant (NNP), while an interaction between the irrigation and experiment year was also statistically significant. The highest average NNP was observed in 2015, being 33% higher when compared to the year 2014. The highest number of seeds per plant (NSP) was observed in 2015, being 20% and 31% higher when compared to 2013 and 2014. An abundant irrigation resulted in the highest NSP when compared to a rational and control treatment. Irrigation, study year, and their interaction did not have a statistically significant effect on the thousand seed weight (TSW) (g), but the lowest average TSW (g) was obtained in the control treatment of each study year. Regression models pertaining to the seed yield prediction in the control treatment and rational irrigation were not statistically significant. However, in the abundant irrigation, the regression model based on the TSW (g), NNP, and the NSP as the predictors provided for a statistically significant model seed yield prediction, but only the NSP was identified as a highly significant seed yield predictor.

India has experienced a massive surge of COVID 19 cases and death since its appearance in January 2020.

In the present cohort study, the percent positivity of non-hospitalized COVID-19 cases among male and female of different age group were analysed, during both first and second wave.

A total of 1,75,739 patients, from non-hospitalised settings, were referred/walked-in to our diagnostic centre in the present cohort study between August 2020-June 2021. The collection and testing were approved by NABL, Government of India.

: Of the tested samples, 40999 (39.15%) males and 28730 (40.46%) females were positive for COVID-19. The second wave (February 2021-June 2021) detected higher number of positive cases (13,922 vs 55,807, p<0.001). During the first wave (August 2020-January 2021), percent positivity was more amongst male (31.28±10.75%), but second wave recorded higher percent positivity amongst female (56.8±12.24%). Asymptomatic female cases were higher during both waves (2,769; 54.05±5.85% vs 14,166; 59.48±9.88%). The highest percent positivity was amongst older >60 years of age (37.47±16.69) in both waves and lowest amongst 18-30 years (23.17±13.86%). Fever was the predominant symptom in both waves (95%) followed by cough (70% vs 86%). Abdominal pain, nausea and chest pain were prominent in the first wave.

Few reports are available from India on non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients. This study will help for developing knowledge on the role of symptomatic and asymptomatic cases in transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in Central part of India amongst non-hospitalized cases and will help for developing strategies to prepare for impending subsequent waves in disparate population groups across India.

Considering the chemical and therapeutic elements obtained in natural form from plants and plant extracts, they play an essential role in modern medicine.

The present study aims to evaluate the phytochemicals, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity of the aqueous extract of .

The phytochemical examination revealed the presence of alkaloids, steroids, coumarins, and glycosides in the root's aqueous extract. The antimicrobial activity against the Gram-negative organisms (that cause urinary and secondary infections) was performed. The aqueous extract showed maximum activity against sp with a zone of inhibition of 28 mm and an almost similar zone size was measured against antibiotics Ciprofloxacin. The anti-inflammatory tests were also performed and the extract exhibited an appreciable presence of anti-inflammatory metabolites.

The test extracts inhibited protein (albumin) denaturation in a concentration-dependent manner, according to the current data. Secondary metabolites comprise a vast number of functional moieties that interact to create a broad range of biological functions. Many modern drugs are based on plants and plant-based compounds, and they are currently being used to treat various ailments.

Sewage treatment system considered to be an inevitable step to handle the burgeoning water scarcity in the recent years. In this study a 1 MLD (Million Litres per Day) sewage treatment plant was selected and evaluated its performance efficiency for a period of 8 Weeks (02.10.2021 to 20.11.2021). The adapted treatment technology was Moving bed Bioreactor (MBBR) which is an attached biological growth method. This technology totally driven by MBBR Carrier media, which provides an enormous surface area for the microbial attachment. The treatment system has the following units such as Bar screen chamber, Grit Chamber, Oil & Grease Chamber, Equalization Tank, Anoxic Tank, MBBR Tank, Settling Tank, Filter Feed Tank, Pressure Sand Filter (PSF), Activated Carbon Filter (ACF), Chlorine dosing and Treated Water Tank. Water samples were collected from different treatment units for 10 days and analysed for the major water quality parameters such as Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), Chemical oxygen demand (COD), Total Kjeldhals Nitrogen (TKN) and Total suspended solids (TSS). The analysis showed that all treated water parameters meet the State Pollution board standards. Also the results were very much useful to prepare a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) which helps in hindrance free Operation and Maintenance of the system.

Published: July 2022

El objetivo de este documento es la definición de una metodología general para desarrollar procesos de simplificación regulatoria en la región, partiendo de algunos lineamientos generales desarrollados por organismos y/o entidades internacionales multilaterales, así como de ejemplos regionales, en especial los casos de Colombia y México, quienes llevan varios años en este proceso. La construcción de esta metodología responde a la necesidad de actualizar los marcos regulatorios y armonizarlos a este nuevo entorno, lo que a su vez debe servir como palanca para contar con un escenario estatal que promueva la inversión, el incremento de cobertura con redes de banda ancha, así como la mejora de la calidad y un despliegue de infraestructura activa y pasiva transparente, organizado y eficiente. Así, el objetivo final de este proceso es aumentar el acceso y la apropiación de las tecnologías digitales por parte de todos los sectores de la sociedad, lo cual seguramente redundará en un mayor desarrollo de la región

La memoria de trabajo (MT) es un proceso cognoscitivo esencial para la adquisición de aprendizajes en lectura, escritura y cálculo, permite el adecuado procesamiento de los estímulos del medio; las personas con dislexia (DLX) presentan alteraciones en este proceso neurocognitivo, principalmente en la manipulación de información verbal.  El objetivo de la investigación fue analizar la relación entre MT, memoria verbal, memoria viso/verbal, nivel de conciencia, control mental y memoria semántica en una muestra de 130 escolares con diagnóstico de DLX. Para identificar la relación entre las variables mencionadas, se construyó un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales (MEE) en el software RCran 4.0.4, haciendo uso de los resultados obtenidos en las pruebas psicométricas aplicadas; WISC-IV, Memoria viso/verbal, Memoria verbal y Curva de Memoria de Wechsler. Se concluye que las personas con DLX presentan deficiencias en diversos dominios de la memoria, la estimulación neuropsicológica de este proceso es fundamental para garantizar el progreso escolar de la población con este trastorno del neurodesarrollo.
Colaboración biblioteca-escuela

La colaboración entre biblioteca pública y escuela contribuye a la formación lectora de los escolares. Conscientes de ello, muchas bibliotecas articulan actuaciones que responden a este fin. Este trabajo observa el funcionamiento de una de estas iniciativas desarrolladas dentro del “Programa Biblioteca-Escuela” de la biblioteca Civican, entidad dependiente de Fundación Caja Navarra e integrada en la Red de Bibliotecas Públicas de Navarra (España). Mediante un estudio de caso se analizan las 804 solicitudes de préstamo de libros realizadas en el marco de dicho programa por docentes de Educación Infantil, Primaria y Secundaria entre 2007 y 2021. Se pretende conocer las etapas educativas que plantean una mayor demanda, los motivos más recurrentes en las peticiones y la evolución del servicio. La investigación, de tipo estadístico descriptivo, evidencia una mayor participación en Educación Infantil y Primaria junto a una progresiva reducción en el número de préstamos para estas etapas, tendencia opuesta en el caso de Secundaria. Los hallazgos de este estudio sugieren orientaciones para que bibliotecas públicas, centros escolares y administración mejoren sus estrategias de colaboración.
Organic geochemistry, lithofacies and gas shale reservoir potential of cretaceous outcrops from Alto de los Caballeros section, Eastern Cordillera Basin – Colombia

Significant layers of shale are exposed in the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia. These Upper Cretaceous rocks from La Frontera and Conejo Formations in the Chécua-Lenguazaque Syncline, between Ubaté, Carmen de Carupa and Sutatausa towns, were evaluated using geochemical and petrographic analysis to determine their potential as gas shale reservoirs. This structure presents promising characteristics for developing a gas shale reservoir due to its areal extension, the existence of a thick layer of marine cretaceous sequence, and a near location to industrial areas, such as the colombian andean region. In La Frontera and Conejo Formations, the result of outcrop samples analysis indicates that some levels meet the geochemical characteristics required for the existence of potential gas shale reservoirs. One of these levels correspond to the base of La Frontera Formation, where limestones exhibit appropriated organic matter content and maturity conditions for gas shale. In addition, this limestone also presents micro-porosity associated with diagenetic processes and kerogen. The geochemical and petrographic features are similar to those found in the Barnett gas shale. The geochemical and petrographic characteristics reflected by the limestones of La Frontera Formation agree with the criteria described and evaluated internationally for unconventional gas shale reservoirs, similar to those found in the Barnett gas shale, and shows the best conditions for the development of these deposits. Nevertheless, it is necessary to evaluate other petrophysical properties, gas saturation, and effective gas permeability in reservoir condition in order to make a conclusive determination about gas shale potential.

El gas puede estar presente en la roca generadora, ya sea como gas libre en el medio poroso, gas libre en las fracturas naturales o gas que se encuentra adsorbido, el cual puede llegar a representar hasta el 85% del volumen total presente en el yacimiento. Diferentes cuestionamientos han sido generados por los profesionales de la industria de los hidrocarburos acerca de si todos los parámetros necesarios son considerados en la cuantificación del volumen de gas original in situ, con el fin de mitigar la incertidumbre en su estimación. El objetivo de esta investigación es estudiar los principales métodos y correlaciones empleados para cuantificar el gas adsorbido por la roca, para finalmente estimar el gas total. Para lo anterior, se estudiaron múltiples modelos de adsorción con información de la literatura, con el fin de determinar cuáles modelos presentaban menor desviación, con respecto a los datos de laboratorio. Así mismo, usando las características de la Formación La Luna en Colombia, se propone una analogía con el fin de estimar las posibles reservas de esta formación. Los resultados demostraron que los modelos con mayor número de parámetros involucrados presentan mejor ajuste con los datos de laboratorio, sin embargo, modelos como el de Langmuir de tres parámetros o el de Jovanović se acercaron en gran medida a los valores reales. Lo anterior garantiza un menor error en el cálculo del gas total.
Análisis de factores y modelación multifractal concentración-área para la delimitación de anomalías pedogeoquímicas complejas en el sector Loma Roja-Loma Hierro, Cuba occidental

El sector Loma Roja-Loma Hierro se localiza en la parte septentrional del distrito metalogénico Dora-Francisco, noroccidente de Cuba. Este estudio ha estado dirigido a delimitar las anomalías pedogeoquímicas complejas asociadas a depósitos minerales tipo Sedex, mediante la aplicación combinada del análisis de factores y la modelación multifractal. Fueron utilizados los resultados analíticos de 1801 muestras de suelos; se seleccionaron aquellos que corresponden a diferentes elementos indicadores y exploradores (Ag, As, Ba, Bi, Cu, Pb, Sb y Zn). Previo a la aplicación de los métodos estadísticos, se requirió la conversión de datos cerrados a datos abiertos mediante una transformación log-cociente aditiva (alr), para evitar que las correlaciones entre los elementos sean espurias. La aplicación del análisis de correlación y el análisis de factores a estas variables geoquímicas transformadas permitió definir los vínculos entre elementos indicadores y exploradores, así como la obtención de dos variables geoquímicas complejas, cada una de ellas representativa de un determinado estilo de mineralización. Las puntuaciones asignadas a estas variables geoquímicas complejas fueron convertidas a valores en rangos [0-1] utilizando una función logística fuzzy. La estimación de los umbrales anómalos se derivó de los diagramas concentración-área generados a partir de la aplicación del análisis fractal a las variables geoquímicas complejas transformadas, previamente interpoladas con kriging ordinario. Los mapas geoquímicos multielementales evidencian dos zonas mineralizadas con características distintivas: una situada al norte representada por anomalías pedogeoquímicas de Bi-Cu-As, asociadas con las raíces de stockwork cuarzo-cuprífero, y otra localizada en la mitad meridional con anomalías pedogeoquímicas de Ba-Ag-Zn-Sb-Pb, relacionada con la mineralización estratiforme pirito-polimetálica.
