Iris, Zephyros and Eros: A genealogy of winged beings and winds
Authors: Di Serio Chiara
Published: November 2022

In a lesser known mythological tradition Eros is the son of Iris and Zephyros. His mother, Iris, belongs to a lineage of winged beings who are connected to a pre-cosmic dimension that precedes the historical reality ruled and guaranteed by Zeus. His father, Zephyros, is a wind and also a winged being whose story is linked to the birth of other superhuman beings who contribute to the foundation of a reality not yet fully established. Equally, Eros is a primordial superhuman being, whose nature at a mythical level is that of preceding the foundation of the cosmos. The purpose of this work is to investigate – through the meanders of mythological heritage – which elements of the narratives referring to these characters are relevant to classical Greek culture.
Parámetros ecográficos en la Vía Aérea Difícil
Authors:   , Fernández Miguel Ángel
Published: November 2022

ANTECEDENTES: Los parámetros clínicos pretenden predecir con antelación una vía aérea difícil, pero ninguno ni de forma aislada ni como modelo multiparamétrico tienen un elevado valor predictivo. Revisiones sistemáticas recientes correlacionan la ecografía con la laringoscopia difícil. Nuestro estudio tenía como objetivo principal correlacionar las mediciones ecográficas de tejidos pretraqueales en posición de olfateo con la laringoscopia directa difícil. El objetivo secundario fue obtener diferencias basadas en el género. MÉTODOS: Este estudio observacional prospectivo, transversal y unicéntrico incluyó a 209 pacientes que requerían anestesia general para cirugía electiva. En el preoperatorio, se realizó evaluación de seis parámetros clínicos y cuatro mediciones ecográficas, estas últimas fueron la distancia de la piel al hueso hioides, de piel a la epiglotis, área preepiglótica y distancia de piel a la comisura anterior de las cuerdas vocales, todas ellas en posición de olfateo. Los criterios de Benumof para ¨best view at first attempt¨ de laringoscopia directa permitieron evaluar la dificultad de la laringoscopia. RESULTADOS: La distancia de piel a la epiglotis y el área preepiglótica fueron los mejores predictores de laringoscopia directa difícil (definida como grado de CormackLehane ≥2b) con un grosor mínimo de corte de 2,70±0,19 cm y un área de 5.40±0.37 𝑐𝑚2 (sensibilidad 91,3%; especificidad 96,9%). El punto de corte de la distancia de piel al hueso hioides fue de 1,41±0,30 cm con una correlación moderada (sensibilidad 80,4%; especificidad 60,1%). No se encontró correlación para la distancia de piel a comisura anterior de cuerdas vocales. En las pacientes femeninas, en comparación con pacientes masculinos, la distancia de la piel a la epiglotis fue más sensible (92,3% frente a 90,9%) y más específica (98,8% frente a 95,2%). CONCLUSIONES: La distancia de la piel a la epiglotis y el área preepiglótica en la posición de olfateo son los parámetros más fiables para la evaluación ecográfica preoperatoria de la vía aérea en población caucásica, con mayor sensibilidad y especificidad en mujeres, y podrían considerarse factor predictivo independiente para la laringoscopia directa difícil.
A construção das redes que disputam a regulamentação dos agrotóxicos no Brasil: o PL 6299 versus a Política Nacional de Redução do Uso de Agrotóxicos (PNaRa)
Authors: Moura Joana Tereza Vaz de , Pontes Bárbara Maia Lima Madeira
Published: November 2022

Resumo: Nos últimos anos tem se acirrado o debate em torno dos agrotóxicos no Brasil. De um lado, tem-se a rede ligada ao agronegócio e de outro, diferentes entidades preocupadas com a segurança alimentar e a saúde pública. O artigo objetiva compreender as formas como estão estruturadas as relações entre os atores em cada uma dessas redes e entre elas, identificando essas estruturas e apontando para suas características e formas de atuação. Utilizou-se análise documental de leis e decretos, notícias de jornais e sites para traçar as narrativas e as trajetórias de atores em relação a essas políticas e entre si. Os resultados mostram que a rede do agronegócio é estável e típica de uma comunidade política bem integrada e estruturada. A rede oposta tem grande heterogeneidade de interesses e membros, mais frágil e menos estável, mas que ainda assim vem se utilizando da opinião pública para pautar sua agenda.
Objective meaning fixation: organizational cognitive processes under uncertainty and conflict
Authors: NASCIMENTO PAULO TROMBONI DE SOUZA
Published: November 2022

Abstract This essay concerns the fixation of objective meaning in high-discretion decisions and actions under uncertainty and conflict. It collects and develops arguments in the literature, to show how this fixation happens. The approach to concept development was a pragmatic and integrative literature review on strategic decision-making. There are two kinds of objective meanings. The general objective meaning of strategic action consists of the mission and systemic objectives set by the organization’s dominant coalition. Under conflict and uncertainty, guided by the general objective meaning, organizational cognitive processes identify and analyze uncertainties, manage conflict, and set the specific objective meaning. Such processes are immanent in the development of and choice among alternatives. These concepts - organizational cognitive processes, necessary social relationships to organization, and specific objective meaning - and their causal articulation are the main contribution of this piece. Organizational pragmatism prevails as well as an interpretation that fixates objective meanings.

Authors: Jesus Josefa Maria de , Rodrigues Waldecy
Published: November 2022

Resumo A Política Nacional de Educação Permanente em Saúde estabelece como pressuposto a centralidade nos processos de trabalho para nortear as atividades de qualificação dos trabalhadores da saúde. O presente estudo tem por objetivo discutir a trajetória de institucionalização da Política Nacional de Educação Permanente em Saúde de acordo com a percepção dos atores representativos dessa política pública (gestores federais, gestores estaduais e municipais, e pesquisadores), considerando os 16 anos de sua institucionalização até o ano deste estudo (2004-2020). Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, com a aplicação do método Delphi. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que a Política se encontra frágil quanto à sua implantação. No que se refere aos impactos, constatou-se que ela oportunizou o estreitamento da relação entre os serviços de saúde e as instituições de ensino, e promoveu mudanças significativas nos processos de trabalho em equipe, independentemente da sua composição.

CRISIS IN THE PERIPHERY: THE CONCEPT OF “CRISIS” IN LATIN AMERICAN DEVELOPMENTALISM AND RAÚL PREBISCH, 1929-1980S
Authors: Crespo María Victoria
Published: November 2022

Abstract This article offers a study of the uses of the concept of crisis in Latin America in the context of Dependency Theory and Developmentalism. This conceptual history of “crisis” in twentieth-century Latin America identifies the intellectual trajectory of Argentine economist Raul Prebisch as a starting point and narrative thread, followed by the iconic sociological products of, or influenced by, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC/CEPAL). The trajectory of the concept of crisis in the region begins with a concrete temporal application referring to specific historical critical moments or junctures. Based on Prebisch’s work, it shows how a fundamental conceptual shift may be observed during the crisis of the 1930s, when crisis is conceptualized as an opportunity that leaves “the lesson” of an urgent need to revise neoclassical economic theory, promote industrialization, and to deeply restructure the role of the State in the region. Later, in the late 1950s and in the context of CEPAL and Development Sociology, the concept changed from a conjunctural to a structural meaning. The article tackles other temporal applications, such as cyclical crisis, structural crisis, and permanent crisis.

Spatio-temporal variation of aquatic macrophyte cover in a reservoir using Landsat images and Google Earth Engine
Authors: Luz Aline Guidolin da , Bleninger Tobias Bernward , Polli Bruna Arcie , Lipski Bernardo
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT The presence of large amounts of aquatic macrophytes in reservoirs can trigger several impacts on the local ecosystem and conventional methodologies used for their monitoring only returns information from the present moment. With that in mind, this study aimed to map spatio-temporal variation of macrophyte cover using Landsat 5, 7 and 8 images between 1984-2021 at Jupiá reservoir, in south east of Brazil, besides determining curves and maps of macrophyte cover permanence. The identification of these organisms in the images, and their distinction from other vegetations, was made through spectral indices (NDVI, GNDVI and GSAVI) and the determination of the characteristic range of each of these classes, which was given by probability distributions. Interannual variations were observed in the spatial arrangement of macrophytes and the area's growth trend, possibly being caused by the implantation of an upstream reservoir. Although the number of images without interference was a limitation, the construction of a historical series of macrophytes occupation and the determination of permanence curves and maps proved to be satisfactory and could help on the decision-making processes for the management of these organisms.
Surface water resources of Santa Catarina state’s southern region - geochemical background of the coal mining territory

Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT In the environmental reclaiming process, it is essential to distinguish between chemical elements concentrations that occur naturally in water resources (geochemical background), from those originated from anthropogenic activities. Despite the environmental efforts that have been carried out for more than two decades in the southern Brazilian region impacted by coal mining, its geochemical background is still not completely known. Filling this environmental knowledge gap was the objective of this work, which systematically analyzed the results of monitoring efforts carried out by the Geological Survey of Brazil (SGB/CPRM) across three years. Quality parameter distributions of rivers and streams unaffected by anthropogenic impact were analyzed. The database was used to perform principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis, and to define the background values, which was done through the boxplot and ± 2 MAD (Median Absolute Deviation) methods. The results of multivariate statistical analyses clustered the monitoring sites into two groups, one related to the sedimentary rocks of the Paraná Basin and another to the crystalline basement rocks. The sedimentary group had a greater correlation with the parameters Eh, SO42-, Ca, Mg, EC, Mn, Acidity, Zn and Na; while, and the crystalline rocks group were better correlated with pH, Cu, Al, K, and Fe. The results of the geochemical background were similar for both methods, with values of pH, Fe, Al, and Mn being slightly different from those defined in Brazilian legislation (CONAMA 357/05 and MS 888/21).
“We, quilombola women, know each other’s pain”: an investigation on sisterhood and occupation
Authors: Pereira Amanda dos Santos , Allegretti Maitê , Magalhães Lilian
Published: November 2022

Abstract Introduction In Brazil, the quilombola women have been essential for the survival of the quilombo communities. They are responsible for transmitting traditions, preserving natural resources, and caring for the home and the land. Thus, the historical markers of social and family organization guide the production and reproduction of their occupational roles in this context. Objectives In this article, we reflect on the insurgence of quilombola women from the peculiarity of sisterhood, dororidade, and gender disparity in these women’s occupations. Method This reflection resulted from a study conducted with nine women residing in a quilombo community located in the interior of the state of Bahia, Brazil, through interviews, escrevivências (live writing) and Photovoice. Results The study evidenced that occupations performed by the participants are crossed by gender and conditioned by racism and sexism, in addition to the peculiar modes of the internal functioning of the group and the traditional ways of life in this community. Conclusions Women assume most of the management of the Pinguela quilombo community through the sense of collectivity and union that allows them to combine a continuous network of solidarity and support. In Brazil, studies on the work of occupational therapists with quilombola women are scarce; therefore, we suggest that occupational therapists, in their professional practice, assume an ethical-political commitment and adopt critical perspectives from Afro-Latin-American feminism to develop collective practices as a form of intervention.
Opportunities for thermoelectric generators in supporting a low carbon economy
Authors: Bhuiyan Mohammad Ruhul Amin , Mamur Hayati , Dilmaç Ömer Faruk , Üstüner Mehmet Ali
Published: November 2022

Environmental pollution, global warming and increasing energy demands are urgent challenges facing society. Governments all over the world have set a national policy target for the transition to a zero or low carbon dioxide economy. As a result, scientists and engineers in industry and academia are working to develop cleaner, alternative and sustainable energy production technologies. One technology that has potential in this green technology transition is thermoelectric generators (TEGs), traditionally used off-grid and isolated from things such as stand-alone solar–thermal cells for military and aerospace applications such as missile-testing systems and space telescope cameras. However, future applications based on home entertainment, security systems and smart metering applications are imminent. Key limitations to this are low efficiency, high costs and self-heating with low thermal conductivity. Hence, this study aims to examine the current state of the art of TEGs and identify future research directions to achieve support for the green technology transition. The key findings of this study show that present successes will fulfill the future advancement of thermoelectric technology by supporting a low carbon dioxide economy.
Riscos de continuidade

Published: November 2022

Este estudo buscou demonstrar se há assimetria de informação entre o relatório dos auditores independentes e o relatório da administração/notas explicativas, com relação a menção por parte do auditor da existência de risco de continuidade operacional da empresa. Essa pesquisa caracteriza-se como qualitativa, apoiada por análise quantitativa, exploratória, documental e bibliográfica. Efetuou-se o levantamento dos dados pela internet na página das empresas e na Brasil Bolsa e Balcão (B3), com amostra delimitada às empresas que apresentaram a menção do risco de continuidade operacional no relatório de auditoria nos exercícios findos em 2019, 2020 e 2021, constituindo-se em uma mostra de 41 empresas. Utilizou-se a análise do discurso e estatística descritiva para a consecução dos resultados. Suportado pela teoria de agência, em especial no aspecto de assimetria de informações, comparou-se os relatórios das empresas examinadas, através dos quais percebeu-se que no relatório dos auditores independentes, a linguagem é clara e objetiva, apontando a razão da menção do risco de continuidade. Entretanto, nos relatórios da administração/notas explicativas, são poucas as empresas que abordam essa menção ao risco de continuidade, sendo que a maioria das empresas analisadas somente tecem argumentos que justificariam as dificuldades pelas quais essas empresas estão passando. Para dar maior robustez ao entendimento de que há assimetria de informações, este estudo utilizou como indicador de assimetria, teste t (média) das diferenças entre os retornos dos ativos pareados com o retorno do índice do mercado (IBOV), entre a data da publicação das demonstrações contábeis e a data imediatamente anterior. Conclui-se que na análise do discurso a menção ao risco de continuidade operacional indica a existência de assimetria de informações, o que pode induzir ao erro os leitores/investidores na interpretação das demonstrações contábeis dessas empresas, no entanto ao se comparar os retornos das ações com o retorno do mercado essa assimetria não se confirmou com o teste t.
Lifting back the waters: Marine geophysics provides new insights into the uThukela Banks Marine Protected Area
Authors: Green Andrew N. , Engelbrecht Luke D. , Sink Kerry , Mackay Christine F. , Fennessy Sean T. , Michalsen Kathrine
Published: November 2022

Using the first high-resolution geophysical data set collected from the uThukela Banks Marine Protected Area (MPA), we reveal a plethora of hitherto unknown or poorly resolved seabed features. In tandem with several remotely operated vehicle dives, we improve on the previous National Biodiversity Assessment map for the area and reveal a more complex picture of the seabed geology and geomorphology on which the MPA is predicated. The upper slope (-120 m and deeper) is dominated by small canyons, gullies and rills that occasionally extend to the shelf edge and form a series of slumps. Suspected cold-water corals were imaged on the interfluves of the Thukela Canyon. The mid to outer shelf (-60 to -100 m) is mostly rocky, and is composed of Pliocene-age siltstones for the most part. Aeolianite shorelines are found at depths of 60 m and 100 m, in which palaeo-lagoons and parabolic aeolian dune systems are also preserved. These features provide habitat for mesophotic corals and demersal fishes. Overlying and abutting hard rock substrates are unconsolidated sandy sediments that are mobilised by the inshore movement of the Agulhas Current. An inshore mud belt characterised by pockmarks associated with free gas expulsion is mapped for the first time. A well-developed palaeo-drainage pattern is also revealed, posing exciting new opportunities for the study of benthic communities associated with palaeo-estuaries and lagoons now exposed at the seabed. Several new habitats, both inside and out of the MPA boundaries, should form the basis for future research within the MPA, in addition to informing expansions of the MPA.
Significance:

Using a newly collected geophysical data set, we provide an unprecedented glimpse into the newly proclaimed uThukela Banks Marine Protected Area.
We reveal a complexity of marine habitats hitherto unknown from previous biodiversity surveys. These habitats include areas of possible expansion given the recognition of keystone species that occur just outside the MPA limits.

Psychometric properties of the Cognitive Appraisal Inventory for Patients with Chronic Pain in Mexican population
Authors: Barrientos Casarrubias Vania , Riveros Rosas Angélica , González-Forteza Catalina , Robles García Rebeca
Published: November 2022

Introduction. Cognitive assessment is the process whereby individuals assess the effect an adverse circumstance has on their well-being (primary assessment) and their ability to cope with it (secondary assessment), which is closely related to the emotional and behavioral response they show as a result. Objective. To determine the validity and internal consistency of the Spanish version of the Cognitive Assessment Inventory (CAI) for patients with chronic pain for Mexican population. Method. A total of 191 adults with chronic pain completed the Spanish version of the CAI, as well as self-report measures of disability, daily activities, anxiety, and depression. Results. The confirmatory factor analysis for each type of primary cognitive assessment included in the CAI yielded models with satisfactory goodness of fit and Cronbach’s α indices (loss/damage: CMIN/DF = 1.132, NFI = .935, CFI = .992, AGFI = .939, SRMR = .046, RMSEA = .026, α = .73; threat: CMIN/DF = 1.132, NFI = .935, CFI = .992, AGFI = .939, SRMR = .046, RMSEA = .026, α = .81; and challenge: CMIN/DF = 1.567, NFI = .939, CFI = .977, AGFI = .926, SRMR = .044, RMSEA = .055, α = .86). Cognitive assessments of loss/harm and threat were positively associated with the degree of disability, depression, and anxiety, and negatively associated with the performance of daily activities. The opposite occurred with the cognitive assessment of challenge. Discussion and conclusion. The Spanish version of the CAI is a valid, quick, easy, and reliable tool for evaluating the primary cognitive assessment of pain, a construct closely related to physical disability and emotional suffering in response to this experience, which may be modified through brief cognitive interventions.
A model for possible crustal deformation prior to a coming large interplate earthquake in the Tokai district, central Japan
Authors: Kato Naoyuki , Hirasawa Tomowo
Published: November 2022

We perform numerical simulations of a seismic cycle by applying a laboratory-derived friction law to evaluate possible crustal deformations prior to the hypothesized Tokai earthquake, which is expected to occur in the near future along the Suruga trough, central Japan. The frictional force obeying a rate- and state-dependent friction law is assumed to act on the plate interface in a 2D model of the subduction zone. We test two versions of the friction law: the so-called slowness version and the slip version. We select model parameters on the basis of historical documents about past large earthquakes in the Tokai district and the present coupling state of the plate interface beneath the Tokai district estimated by GPS observations. Simulation results for both the slowness and the slip version are as follows: (1) The coupling region of the plate interface becomes narrower with time in the interseismic period. (2) The inland crust contracts at a nearly constant rate for most of the interseismic period. The contraction rate decreases or a change from contraction to extension takes place before the occurrence of a large interplate earthquake. (3) Significant abnormal crustal deformation precedes the earthquake, and maximum amplitudes about one day before the earthquake exceed the noise levels in the case of clear weather of borehole strainmeters installed in the Tokai district. (4) The spatiotemporal variation of aseismic sliding on the plate interface perturbs the regional stress field around the source volume of the coming earthquake, leading possibly to precursory seismic quiescence in the overriding plate and a change in focal mechanisms of small earthquakes in the subducting slab. The most significant difference in the results between the slowness version and the slip version of the friction law is that amplitudes of preslip and crustal deformation just before earthquakes are several times larger for the slowness version than for the slip version. Although some ambiguity remains in the present model mainly because of the incompleteness of the friction law and the deficiency of observational data constraining model parameters, the physical model can be improved through the comparison of predicted crustal deformation with observations. Continuous and concentrated observations of crustal deformation and seismic activity are thus important in the Tokai district to understand quantitatively the sliding process preceding a large interplate earthquake there.

Authors: Akhtar Naheed , Praveen Shahjadi , Aafreen Rumana
Published: November 2022

Amblyopia is the leading cause of preventable blindness in children and young. The prevalence of amblyopia in childhood varies between 1-5%, although these values may differ. Most of the visual impairment in amblyopia is reversible if treated early at appropriate time. Various treatment modalities in children include: refractive correction, patching, atropine penalization, binocular therapy, liquid crystal display eyeglasses and transcranial magnetic stimulation. Motive of this article is to give an emphasis on newer management strategy and newer trends in amblyopia therapy. A thorough search of literature was done in PubMed, Scopus, Embase and reference list of articles until December 15, 2020 containing “amblyopia treatment or therapy” was retrieved.

Published: November 2022

Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) is a life-threatening emergency. Thrombolytic therapy is emerging as a potential substitute. The objective of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of Tenecteplase (TNK) in comparison to streptokinase (STK) in patients with PVT.

In this prospective study, patients with PVT who were not subjected to the surgery underwent thrombolysis with TNK (TNK arm) or STK (STK arm). Efficacy and safety of both treatment arms were judged from clinical, echocardiographic (ECHO), and Cinefluoroscopic parameters. Treatment outcomes and complications were compared between the two arms.

Between December 2017 and December 2019, a total of 41 cases of PVT were enrolled to receive either TNK (n=23) or STK (n=18). After thrombolysis, complete recovery was significant in the TNK arm (82.6% [19/23] vs. 44.4% [8/18], respectively; p=0.007) irrespective of the valve position. This trend was observed in both mitral PVT (85.7% vs. 46.6%, respectively; p=0.03) and aortic PVT (77.8% vs. 33.3%, respectively; p=0.151). No failure was seen in the TNK arm but failure was observed in 1/3cases in the STK arm. No major bleeding was observed with either treatment. Minor bleeding and systemic embolization were non-significant (P=0.514). There were no deaths in the TNK arm but two patients (11%) from the STK arm died.

To our knowledge, this is the largest published comparative evidence indicating superior efficacy and equal safety of tenecteplase compared to streptokinase for the treatment of prosthetic valve thrombosis irrespective of valve position and NYHA class.
Prevalence of iron deficiency in simple febrile seizures in children at different age group in Maharashtra
Authors: Jagadale Sandeep  Bahusaheb
Published: November 2022

Prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia and febrile convolutions was observed in children at different age groups. Hence haematological profile has to be correlated with simple seizures.

130 Iron deficiency children below 5 years were compared with same number of healthy children (controlled group). Blood examination included Hb% HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHS, RDW, PS. Serum Ferritin was ruled out and compared in both groups.

The Haematological profile and serum Ferritin study was compared in both groups and p value was highly significant (p<0.00) in all parameters.

The result suggests that, Iron deficiency is the main root cause for febrile seizures in children below 5 years of age. This pragmatic study will help paediatrician to treat such patients efficiently to avoid morbidity and mortality.

Published: November 2022

Female genital tuberculosis (FGTB) has a crucial role in many gynaecological complaint and delay in diagnosis can cause irreversible damages. The new diagnostic technique GeneXpert system is accurate and rapid test can make paradigm shift in FGTB treatment.

The aim of the study to estimate efficacy of different tests i.e. AFB BACTEC culture, molecular assay (TB-PCR) and histopathology in comparison to GeneXpert system to detect FGTB.

The prospective observational study was conducted in between January, 2018 and June, 2019. Randomly selected total 62 patients were put under all four diagnostic tests from endometrial sampling. The positivity of genital TB and efficacy of the tests were compared with test result of GeneXpert assay.

In our study, out of 62 patients, most commonly 33.9% were each from age group of 21-30 and 31-40 years i.e. reproductive ages, 45.2% were overweight, primary infertility of 48.4% patients were predominant symptomatology. Overall positivity by GeneXpert test was 21% (3/62), histopathology 8.1% (5/62), AFB BACTEC culture 12.9% (8/62) and 24.2% (15/62%) by molecular assay (TB-PCR). On evaluating against our diagnostic tests, specificity of histopathology, AFB BACTEC Culture and TB-PCR was 97.96%, 95.92% and 75.51%. The diagnostic tests were analysed by Kappa measure agreement in comparison to GeneXpert assay. The histopathology and AFB BACTEC Culture showed fair and moderate agreement respectively, but on the contrary TB-PCR have not showed any agreement with GeneXpert assay.

High degree of suspicion and battery of tests needed for diagnosis of genital TB. Rapid diagnosis by GeneXpert assay may play a crucial role in TB control programme.

To estimate the prevailing Serotype of dengue virus and IgM antibody in suspected dengue fever cases
Authors: Sudha N , Selvi R
Published: November 2022

Dengue virus infection a vector borne disease affecting more than 50 million people worldwide annually. It is distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, abundant in urban and semi-urban areas. It is the disease that spreads by bite of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. The virus being a RNA virus belongs to Flaviviridae family. The four serotypes of Dengue virus are DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4 which have distinct antigenicity complex.

This study was conducted in Microbiology Department, Government Stanley Medical College, Chennai, during the period Jan 2018 to Dec 2018 with 120 blood samples from patients of suspected dengue fever. Samples were selected by stratified random sampling method into three strata and each strata consisting of 40 samples based on duration of fever. All the samples were subjected to procedure for both NS1 antigen and IgM antibodies.15 NS1 positives samples with duration of fever less than 5 days were serotyped by PCR.

: A total of 18 cases had NS1 antigen, 26 cases had IgM antibodies and 27 cases had both. A combination of the two tests detected a total of 44 cases. The chance of detection of NS1antigen decreased with duration of fever and IgM antibodies increased with duration of fever. The serotyping detected were DENV1 and DENV3

NS1 antigen detection by ELISA is useful in early phase of infection. A combination of NS1 ELISA and IgM ELISA have high sensitivity depending upon the duration of illness. Detection of DENV1 and DENV3 by PCR procedure helps to know the presence of prevailing serotype in this particular region which would be a good guide to predict the recurrence of outbreak and for efficient prevention and management.

Published: November 2022

The article provides a review of the modern nuclear family’s condition. I analyse scholarly works by leading local and foreign scientists in the line of parent–child, sibling relations. The peculiarities of the interaction between children and parents are highlighted from the position of the respondents, who have been grouped into subgroups according to the order of birth in the family hierarchy (N = 265). The choice of methods for studying the family interaction of the respondents has been found. The aim is to study the level of development of parent–child and sibling relations, and compare the results in the “The first/middle/last child” subgroups. The methods are questionnaires used to establish the level of parent–child and sibling relationships; the statistical processing of empirical data and graphical presentation of the results were done using MS Excel and IBM SPSS Statistics (v. 27.0). The main positions based on the results of our research will be put into the basis for the development of specific recommendations, which will be useful and helpful in further work of practicing psychologists in the field of family counseling in such subsystems as marital sibling and parent-child relationships.
El derecho de la naturaleza a su restauración en Ecuador y sus equivalentes en demandas ambientales chilenas
Authors: Harris Moya Pedro
Published: November 2022

A semejanza de la Constitución de Ecuador, han surgido en el derecho chileno distintas propuestas en favor de la consagración de derechos de la naturaleza, siendo una de sus principales facultades aquella referida a su restauración. Pese a la novedad que este mecanismo ha supuesto, el derecho chileno consagra diferentes técnicas que permiten observar su proximidad con las soluciones aplicables en dicho país. Debido a que esta proximidad no se produce por el reconocimiento de derechos de la naturaleza, sino de cargas y obligaciones que inciden positivamente en su conservación, puede apreciarse la vigencia de un modelo diferente, construido sobre la base de imperativos jurídicos distintos, que permiten alcanzar una eficacia comparativa.
