Hablar de los lugares de la casa de adobe remite a pensar en construcciones sin valor, del pasado, sin imaginar que en dichos lugares converge el patrimonio cultural material e inmaterial, y su continuidad constituye el legado de las actuales y siguientes generaciones. Las familias extensas, por su parte, van produciendo lugares como el cuezcomate, el tlecuil y el altar; enraizados a la casa de adobe a través de su apropiación simbólica, derivada de sus significados sagrados y de uso. En Metepec, Morelos, comunidad ubicada en las faldas del volcán Popocatépetl, se encuentra el mayor número de casas de adobe de la región, que incluye los lugares singulares referidos. No obstante, después del sismo de 2017 se perdió el 30% de estas casas, y con ellas los lugares y prácticas culturales. Este trabajo se centra en reactivar el proceso de continuidad del cuezcomate, el tlecuil y el altar, a través del involucramiento de los actores locales en las etapas de conocimiento, valoración y transmisión, para el fortalecimiento del habitar local y el reconocimiento de los saberes culturales. Para el proceso de continuidad, se vincula al patrimonio cultural con los grupos de adultos mayores, adultos, y niños y niñas, a través de estrategias educativas de arquitectura y de implementación de acciones. Los hallazgos relevantes fueron exponer cómo las acciones de alisar el tlecuil, colocar ofrendas, revalorar y rehabilitar el cuezcomate, constituyen un proceso que garantiza la continuidad duradera y sostenible de los lugares de la casa de adobe.

Authors: Wei Ye
Published: September 2024

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the curative efficacy of acupuncture on knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and its improvement on related scores and blood indexes. Patients and methods: Between January 2019 and January 2020, a total of 108 patients (48 males, 60 females; mean age: 61.0±6.8 years; range 43 to 79 years) with KOA were randomly divided into control group (n=54) and patient group (n=54). Both groups received standard treatment, including adequate rest and exercise and oral celecoxib capsules. The patient group performed acupuncture operations on the Inner knee eye (EX-LE4), outer knee eye (EX-LE5), Yanglingquan (GB34), and Zusanli (ST36). In the control group, three non-acupuncture points were determined for sham acupuncture. The level of Michel Lequesne index of severity for osteoarthritis (ISOA) score, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Lysholm Knee Score Scale (LKSS), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), IL-6, transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) were compared before and after treatment. Results: The reduction of inflammatory markers in the patient group was greater than that in the control group after treatment. The levels of cytokines such as TGF-β, IGF-1, and FGF-2 were significantly increased after treatment, and the levels in the patient group were higher than those in the control group during the same period. In addition, p38 MAPK messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) was significantly downregulated after treatment, and the level in the patient group was lower than that in the control group during the same period. Conclusion: Acupuncture combined with standard treatment can effectively promote the relief of symptoms and the improvement of knee joint function and effectively inhibit the expression of p38 MAPK signaling pathway.

Authors: Amoli Mitra Javan
Published: September 2024

Objectives: The study aimed to compare the effects of separate and simultaneous application of Tecar therapy and low-level laser therapy on neurological symptoms of type 2 diabetic patients. Patients and methods: In this randomized control trial conducted between November 2021 and February 2022, 45 patients (30 females, 15 males; mean age: 65.7±7.6 years; range, 51 to 76 years) with type 2 diabetes and peripheral sensory neuropathy of the lower limbs were randomly divided into three groups: Tecar + sham laser (n=15), Tecar + laser (n=15), and laser + sham Tecar (n=15). Outcome measures for both right and left limbs included tibial motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV), sural nerve amplitude, sole sensation, and ankle-brachial index (ABI) measured before and after 10 sessions and after a three-month follow-up. Results: In intergroup comparison, the Tecar + laser group significantly improved compared to the laser + sham Tecar group in terms of tibial MNCV in both limbs after 10 sessions and all measured outcomes after three months (p<0.05). In addition, comparison between the Tecar + laser and Tecar + sham laser groups for tibial MNCV (p=0.021 for the right limb and p=0.002 for the left limb) and ABI (p=0.001 for the right limb and p=0.002 for the left limb) in both limbs after three months was significant. In the intragroup comparison, a significant improvement was found in the laser + sham Tecar group for sole sensation (p<0.001) and ABI (p<0.001) of both limbs after three months compared to before the interventions, whereas in the other two groups, significant improvements were found in all four outcomes. Conclusion: A significant increase was found in neurological outcomes in all three groups after 10 sessions. Moreover, the use of combined Tecar therapy and laser compared to Tecar or laser alone could lead to a more lasting effect in improving the sensory symptoms of type 2 diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy of the lower limbs.
Another lesson from the earthquake: Transdermal fentanyl dependence in two child victims
Authors: Aslantaş Hüseyin Oğuzhan
Published: September 2024

Thousands died in the Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquake in February 2023, and even more were injured. Some were administered transdermal fentanyl patches (TFPs) due to severe pain. Two pediatric patients, both severely injured victims of the earthquake, developed dependence on TFPs and experienced difficulties during the cessation of fentanyl treatment. The first child was discharged while still being administered fentanyl after four months. In the second case, TFPs could be ceased after four months. This study aimed to emphasize that TFPs can lead to dependence in pediatric patients as well; hence, they should be used more carefully to avoid any potential dependency.

Published: September 2024

Pertussis is a respiratory tract infection caused by Bordetella pertussis, particularly affecting children and often leading to prolonged and distressing coughing episodes. The aim of the study was to determine the cure rate, complications, and mortality in children with pertussis at the National Children's Hospital. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 382 children under 16 years old diagnosed with pertussis at the National Children's Hospital from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2020. 95.5% (365/382) of the children were prescribed macrolide antibiotics. 12.3% (47/382) of the children were hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit with an average stay of 10 days (ranging from 1 to 60 days). 44.5% (170/382) required oxygen therapy; 9.2% (35/382) needed mechanical ventilation; 4.5% (17/382) received intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG); 0.8% (3/382) required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO); and 0.5% (2/382) underwent blood filtration. After an average 25.8 ± 10.5 days, Real-time PCR results confirmed negative. The cure rate was 92.9% with an average hospital stay of 12.95 ± 10.47 days. The children with severe pertussis had a nearly twice as long average hospital stay (15 days) as those with mild and moderate pertussis (8 days). The mortality rate was 1.6%. Macrolide antibiotics remained highly effective in the treatment of pertussis with the cure rate of 92.9%.

Published: September 2024

Animal welfare is a concept that is increasingly concerned in the world and in Vietnam, including the welfare of laboratory animals. Animal welfare can be simply defined as the good treatment of animals, keeping the animals at a good physical and mental health conditions, preventing them from pain suffering. Improvement of welfare quality of laboratory animals will not only enable them to grow better and healthier, but also ensure a better result of the biological testing. To improve welfare of laboratory animals, the animal keeping centers need to pay attention to some factors related to housing and living environmental conditions, caring and handling practices, culling and cullinging methods. Several specific recommendations are also made to improve the welfare of rodents (guinea pig, mice and rat) when keeping them as laboratory animals

Glycerol dehydrogenase plays an important role in the glycerol metabolic pathway. During oxidation, glycerol is converted to dihydroxyacetone (DHA), and it is the first step in this cycle. Nowadays, DHA is synthesized because of its value and application in many industries. In this study, we focused on expressing the enzyme capable of converting glycerol into DHA on the bacteria strain Klebsiella pneumoniae. The results of gene expression and purification of recombinant protein encoding the enzyme GlyDH are presented in this study. With an in vitro cell culture volume of 1 liter and high expression and purification capabilities, it shows great potential in practical application.

This article studies how these field visits reinforce COVID-19 response at the grassroots level. The author argues that visits by government officials pull together resources to invest in areas that are critical for rural development. By employing the Guangdong Thousand Village Survey data from 2020, this article deduces that visits by Chinese government officials significantly improved COVID-19 response in rural China.
The Globalisation of China's Counter-terrorism Efforts
Authors: Zhang Chi
Published: September 2024

Abstract: This article argues that China's international counter-terrorism efforts have predominantly been ad hoc, with notable advancements observed both within the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and through mechanisms for collaborative investigations and repatriation. It highlights a dilemma wherein China's expanding global trade necessitates a stronger military capacity to protect its citizens, a requirement that occasionally clashes with its non-interference principle. In regions near its borders, China exhibits a greater propensity to compromise its non-interference principle in response to security threats. However, where there has been a substantial external Uyghur militancy threat, especially in Afghanistan and Syria, China has exercised caution to avoid becoming entangled in the rivalry between the United States and Russia.

Published: September 2024

Abstract: Crowdfunding has garnered widespread attention as a common fundraising method for charitable organisations in the People's Republic of China. However, with frequent fraud cases exposed in recent years, crowdfunding has tended to lose public trust, resulting in difficulties raising money. Thus, questions have been raised: What factors influence the success of crowdfunding? What are the specific impacts of these factors on the results of crowdfunding? To answer these questions, this article adopts a content analysis approach based on the attention allocation theory and analyses 9,589 projects launched in 2020 on the "Voluntary Donation" (lejuan) crowdfunding platform of Tencent Public Welfare (Tengxun gongyi). The analysis examines the impact of attention allocation on the amount raised for the projects from the perspectives of transparency, authority and emotion. The findings are: first, compared to negative emotions, expressing positive emotions can more effectively promote an increase in fundraising; second, in terms of project transparency, projects that disclose more information can attract more attention and achieve better fundraising results; and third, in terms of the authority of the initiating organisation, projects with higher authority often garner more attention and trust from crowdfunding participants, thus raising more funds.

The research population consisted of all vegetable farmers in Lambusa Village who cultivated kangkong plants, amounting to a total of 120 individuals. The sample was selected using a proportional random sampling technique, with 30% of the total population allocated to the sample, resulting in a sample size of 36 respondents. The sampling technique employed was simple random sampling. This research employs a quantitative methodology. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis with the assistance of questionnaires, which were administered via the media. The variables under investigation in this study are productivity and input usage. In this study, a quantitative descriptive analysis was employed. The formulas utilized in this study include the productivity formula, which was employed to ascertain the level of vegetable productivity, and the Coob-Douglas function analysis formula, which was utilized to determine the impact of input utilization on productivity. These calculations were conducted with the assistance of the SPSS 26 software. The results demonstrated that the average productivity of kale vegetables in Lambusa Village, Konda District, South Konawe Regency was 1.83, with a maximum yield of 2.5 kg/ha and a minimum yield of 1.25 kg/ha. It is evident that input use exerts an influence on production. Based on the six factors identified, it can be posited that five of them, namely land area (X1), seeds (X2), manure (X4), pesticides (X5), and labor (X6), have a significant impact on production. Conversely, the application of urea fertilizer (X3) has been found to have a negligible effect.

Introdução: A disfunção cognitiva pós-operatória (POCD) é uma complicação comum e significativa em pacientes idosos submetidos a cirurgias, associada a maior morbidade, prolongamento da hospitalização e aumento da mortalidade. Embora múltiplos fatores contribuam para o desenvolvimento da POCD, o tipo de anestesia e as técnicas utilizadas durante o procedimento cirúrgico desempenham um papel crítico. Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a relação entre diferentes tipos de anestesia e o desenvolvimento de POCD, identificar fatores de risco associados e explorar intervenções potenciais para minimizar essa complicação em pacientes idosos. Métodos: Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática e com análise de estudos publicados entre 2021 e 2024. A pesquisa foi conduzida nas bases de dados PubMed, Scopus e Web of Science, utilizando descritores relacionados a anestesia, disfunção cognitiva e pacientes idosos. Foram incluídos ensaios clínicos randomizados, estudos de coorte e caso-controle que investigaram a incidência de POCD em pacientes idosos submetidos a diferentes tipos de anestesia. Dois revisores independentes selecionaram e extraíram os dados, enquanto a qualidade dos estudos foi avaliada com a ferramenta Cochrane Risk of Bias e a escala Newcastle-Ottawa. Resultados: Foram incluídos 18 estudos, abrangendo 6.732 pacientes idosos. Os resultados mostraram que a anestesia geral com agentes voláteis, como sevoflurano e desflurano, esteve associada a uma maior incidência de POCD, variando entre 35% e 40%, em comparação com anestésicos intravenosos, como propofol (20%). A dexmedetomidina, tanto como adjuvante anestésico quanto para sedação em UTI, demonstrou reduzir significativamente a incidência de POCD. Além disso, a pré-reabilitação cognitiva e a administração de insulina intranasal também mostraram eficácia na redução do declínio cognitivo. Fatores como idade avançada, comorbidades, duração do procedimento cirúrgico e variabilidade da frequência cardíaca foram identificados como preditores significativos de POCD. Conclusão: A escolha do tipo de anestesia e a implementação de intervenções específicas podem reduzir significativamente o risco de POCD em pacientes idosos. Anestésicos intravenosos, como propofol, e adjuvantes como dexmedetomidina, apresentaram benefícios em desfechos cognitivos. Estratégias como pré-reabilitação cognitiva e administração de insulina intranasal também mostraram-se eficazes. A personalização da abordagem anestésica, levando em consideração os fatores de risco individuais, é essencial para otimizar os resultados nesta população.

Authors: Borges Murilo , Daiana Gress Rubia , Crippa Rey Thiago
Published: September 2024

Este estudo visa explorar o papel desempenhado pela Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE) na formulação e implementação de políticas tributárias para o setor de óleo e gás marítimo, enfocando em especial nas iniciativas relacionadas ao projeto Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS). Isso porque, devido à alta lucratividade e à complexidade inerente às operações globais do setor de óleo e gás, as empresas muitas vezes empregam estratégias sofisticadas de planejamento tributário que levam à evasão fiscal, um desafio que a OCDE busca enfrentar com suas diretrizes de BEPS. Outrossim, a investigação almeja, em uma análise qualitativa, que se utiliza do método de revisão bibliográfica, perquirir a maneira pela qual as normas do BEPS podem se caracterizar como mecanismos efetivos ao combate da elisão fiscal. Portanto, busca-se concluir que é fundamental a compreensão das dinâmicas entre regulação tributária internacional e práticas de governança corporativa, oferecendo pressupostos sobre as melhorias necessárias para enfrentar a elisão fiscal no contexto globalizado do setor de óleo e gás marítimo.

Published: September 2024

The article shows critical appraisals on recent case of Pan African Energy Tanzania Ltd v. Tanzania Revenue Authorityunder the sphere of tax administration. It examines whether the decision of the case enhanced fair play to both taxpayers and tax authorities. Specifically, the article examines the consideration made by the tax authorities and court upon uncertainty of the tax laws when the taxpayer defends their cases upon refusal of waiver. In this aspect, the article draws attention to two aspects which are; the procedural fairness and presumption of honest on the side of taxpayers. The article concludes that, it is very difficult for the taxpayer to defend oneself successful on lodged objections before the Commissioner General especially on being seen as an honest person upon objecting the assessed taxes. Finally, the article recommends that, the taxpayers’ rights should be considered when it appears the wording of the statutes are uncertain.
IMPACT OF AUDIT FEE, TIME BUDGET PRESSURE, AUDIT TENURE AND AUDIT ROTATION ON AUDIT QUALITY (Studi Empiris Pada Perusahaan Asuransi Yang Terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia Tahun 2018- 2022)
Authors: Mubarakah Septyana , Yuda Fairas Panca
Published: September 2024

This research was conducted on insurance companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2018-2022 period, using secondary data sourced from the financial statements of insurance companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The sampling technique uses purposive sampling method with several predetermined criteria. This type of research is causal research which aims to determine the causal relationship between the independent variables, namely audit fees, time budget pressure, audit tenure and audit rotation on the dependent variable, namely audit quality. Researchers use a quantitative approach method because it refers to statistical analysis and the data collected takes more of a form that can be calculated (numeric) by quantifying the research data so as to produce the information needed in the analysis. The results of this study indicate that audit fees have a negative effect on audit quality, which will reduce capital constraints. Management may determine a reputable auditor's office for the purpose of reducing the level of doubt of capital providers, but the selection of the auditor's office does not determine a good level of audit quality, because quality audits are carried out consistently. Meanwhile, time budget pressure, audit tenure and audit rotation have no effect on audit quality. This, if associated with agency theory, is a conflict that occurs due to information asymmetry between management and shareholders and changes in company dynamics associated with auditor changes do not contribute to improving audit quality.

Published: September 2024

Regenerative medicine is the new frontier of medicine, with a high degree of translationality, which involves different medical specializations, engineering, and information technology. It has as a target the human tissues. Lesions not yet irreversible become treatable. Aging can be re-discussed. In fact, preventive treatments arise; among these, the minimally invasive are particularly interesting. Mechanical treatments are included in the latter. A precise new classification of mechanical treatments was performed in this study. In particular, a detailed analysis was performed relating to mechanical compressive microvibration therapy. Both the tissue target and the bio-physical effects of this treatment were evaluated. All the aspects were analyzed to correlate theoretical expectations with the preliminary results of a research project. The regenerative effects appeared clear, and the absence of tissue damage was remarkable. For these reasons, mechanical compressive microvibration therapy can be included in the typology of mechanical regenerative therapies.

Occupation of the Ryazan Region, European Russia, by the Whiskered Tern (Chlidonias hybridus) and its ecology
Authors:   Oka State Nature Biosphere Reserve, Ivanchev V.P.
Published: September 2024

The Whiskered Tern was recorded for the first time in the Ryazan Region in 1981. Fourteen sites with breeding colonies of the species are currently known in the region. They all are located in the northern part of the region, in the so called Meshchera Lowlands, apparently due to the most common presence of the preferred habitats there. The species prefers for nesting vast shallow swamps, swampy peat fields and rather small floodplain lakes with dense aquatic vegetation. In dry years, birds can also occupy floodplain lakes with a depth of about 2 m. Whiskered Terns arrive to the Ryazan Region in late April to early May. They start building nests in the second or third decade of May. Construction of a massive nesting platform with neater nest on top of it is typical of this species. Egg laying begins in mid-May, with most clutches initiating in the last pentad of May. However, the modal pentad can be either the fourth one of May or the first one of June in the same colony. A complete clutch consists of 2.9 ± 0.27 S.D. eggs (range 2–3, n = 78). Whiskered Terns depart from the breeding habitats in the first half of August. The population of this species in the Ryazan Region currently amounts to about 100 breeding pairs.

Artikel ini memberikan analisis dan mengkonsolidasikan literatur yang ada tentang kepuasan penumpang, mengeksplorasi berbagai macam studi tentang variabel yang relevan dan memeriksa hubungan potensial di antara artikel yang ada. Bahwa peran penumpang bagi bandara di abad ke-21 telah ditemukan, dimana penumpang seharusnya tidak hanya sebagai pembeli barang dan jasa untuk dieksploitasi demi mendapatkan keuntungan, namun juga diberikan kepuasan sesuai dengan standar pelayanan yang berlaku. Metodologi yang digunakan adalah dengan melakukan tinjauan literatur, dengan sumber referensi dari metode library research, media online, Google Scholar, Crossref dan Mendeley. Penulisan ini bertujuan untuk memberikan wawasan dengan merangkum beberapa artikel dan mendiskusikan pengaruh di antara variabel yang berbeda terhadap kepuasan penumpang. Studi tentang kepuasan penumpang dalam rangkuman artikel literatur ini secara eksplisit berfokus pada bagaimana fasilitas umum, kualitas layanan dan kinerja petugas yang berorientasi pada penumpang mempengaruhi dan berdampak langsung pada keberlangsungan bandara agar tetap berjalan dan berkelanjutan. Tujuan utamanya adalah untuk membangun dasar konseptual untuk memahami pendekatan-pendekatan untuk mendapatkan kepuasan dan loyalitas pelanggan bagi sebuah bandar udara. Evaluasi kualitas layanan tidak boleh dipandang dari perspektif bandar udara, melainkan harus dilihat dari sudut pandang penilaian penumpang. Oleh karena itu, dalam mengembangkan strategi dan program layanan, bandara harus fokus pada kebutuhan penumpang dengan mempertimbangkan elemen-elemen kualitas layanan.

Background. Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) can lead to reduced exercise capacity and physical activity levels. This study assessed the impact of a 12-week yoga intervention on exercise capacity, symptoms, and quality of life in patients with varicose veins and CVI.
Methods. This randomized controlled trial recruited 80 patients with varicose veins or CVI from a cardiovascular surgery clinic. Participants were randomized to either a yoga group (n = 40) or a control group (n = 40) that received standard care. The primary outcome was the change in 6-minute walk test (6MWT) distance from baseline to 12 weeks. Secondary outcomes included leg edema, pain levels, and disease-specific quality of life.
Results. At 12 weeks, the yoga group showed significantly greater improvement in 6MWT distance compared to controls (46.2 meters vs 12.8 meters, p < 0.001). The yoga group also had greater reductions in leg edema (−2.1 cm vs −0.6 cm, p = 0.003) and pain during the 6MWT (VAS score change −2.9 vs −0.7, p < 0.001). Quality of life scores improved more in the yoga group (mean increase 18.7 vs 6.4 points, p = 0.02).
Conclusions. A 12-week yoga program improved exercise capacity, reduced edema and pain, and enhanced quality of life compared to standard care in patients with varicose veins and CVI. Yoga can be a beneficial adjunctive intervention for this population.
