Insights into the role of the Wnt signaling pathway in the regeneration of animal model systems
Authors: Walczyńska Katarzyna S. , Zhu Ling , Liang Yujun
Published: November 2023

Regeneration enables the regrowth and restoration of missing body parts. It is a common phenomenon among animals. However, only some species exhibit remarkable regeneration capabilities and can regenerate organs such as limbs, lenses or hearts. Regeneration has been widely studied, thereby giving rise to new fields, such as regenerative medicine. Furthermore, regeneration has the potential to be applied to the human body. However, the molecular mechanisms governing this process should be elucidated first. Recent advancements in research methods have led to the identification of numerous signaling pathways involved in regeneration. One of them, the Wnt transduction pathway, is an ancient and evolutionarily conserved pathway that plays an important role in both embryonic development and regeneration. The Wnt pathway plays an important role during the regeneration process, as it is implicated in cell fate determination, cell migration, cell polarity and adult cell homeostasis. To date, two major Wnt pathways have been identified: the canonical (β-catenin dependent) pathway and the non-canonical pathway. The latter pathway can be further divided into planar cell polarity, the Wnt/Ca2+ pathway and the JNK pathway. In this review, we summarize the current state of knowledge regarding the Wnt signaling pathway and its role in regeneration, with a particular emphasis on key model species.

In this study, chlorogenic acid nanoparticles encapsulated in Pluronic F127 polymer were synthesized and characterized to determine if they could treat human liver cancer. The nanoparticles were synthesized using standard procedures and characterized using physical and biological techniques such as X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV-Vis, dynamic light scattering, Photoluminescence, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The anticancer effects were assessed using MTT analysis, acridine orange/ethidium bromide, reactive oxygen species (ROS), COMET assay, annexin-V/FITC, cell cycle analysis, and expression of marker genes against HepG2 cell lines. The results showed significant cytotoxicity, apoptosis induction, and increased ROS production in treated cells compared to control cells. The nanoparticles also activated the apoptotic cascade and regulated the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways. The nanocomposites exhibited unique characteristics such as anticancer efficacy in vitro. Further research was conducted using zebrafish to model hematological parameters, liver enzymes, and histopathology to study effectiveness. Green-synthesized Pluronic F127–chlorogenic acid nanoparticles can be considered potential cancer therapy agents.
TheAtoh1-CreKnock-In Allele Ectopically Labels a Subpopulation of Amacrine Cells and Bipolar Cells in Mouse Retina
Authors: Wu Sih-Rong , Zoghbi Huda Y.
Published: November 2023

The retina has diverse neuronal cell types derived from a common pool of retinal progenitors. Many molecular drivers, mostly transcription factors, have been identified to promote different cell fates. InDrosophila,atonalis required for specifying photoreceptors. In mice, there are two closely relatedatonalhomologs,Atoh1andAtoh7. WhileAtoh7is known to promote the genesis of retinal ganglion cells, there is no study on the function ofAtoh1in retinal development. Here, we crossedAtoh1Cre/+mice to mice carrying a Cre-dependent TdTomato reporter to track potentialAtoh1-lineage neurons in retinas. We characterized a heterogeneous group of TdTomato+retinal neurons that were detected at the postnatal stage, including glutamatergic amacrine cells, AII amacrine cells, and BC3b bipolar cells. Unexpectedly, we did not observe TdTomato+retinal neurons in the mice with anAtoh1-FlpOknock-in allele and a Flp-dependent TdTomato reporter, suggestingAtoh1is not expressed in the mouse retina. Consistent with these data, conditional removal ofAtoh1in the retina did not cause any observable phenotypes. Importantly, we did not detectAtoh1expression in the retina at multiple ages using mice withAtoh1-GFPknock-in allele. Therefore, we conclude thatAtoh1Cre/+mice have ectopic Cre expression in the retina and thatAtoh1is not required for retinal development.

Published: November 2023

India has huge agriculture heritage. This is the major source of livelihood for most Indian families. Farmers are seen to use fertilizers in inappropriate proportion to enhance crop yield which results in infertile land. To overcome this issue, to check the fertility level of the soil, environment conditions and predicting suitable crop and fertilizers required is need of hour. Soil fertility depends on nutrients like Nitrogen (N), Phosphorous (P), and Potassium (K). It is also affected by environmental factors such as temperature, moisture, humidity, etc. The proposed system provides a cost-effective solution using   IoT and Machine Learning based approach to check the NPK concentration present in the soil. Based on which, user can predict the soil suitable crop. The technique used comprises an integrated light transmission and detection system which consists of three LEDs with different wavelengths. Photodiode (LDR sensor module) is used for light detection purposes. The output obtained from the photodiode is handled using a Arduino UNO microcontroller. Based on the inputs received from LDR module, NPK concentration can be evaluated. The model is trained with the Crop Prediction dataset to predict the crop using LightGBM algorithm. The proportion of NPK nutrients and the predicted crop is sent to the user as a text message through the GSM module and ThingSpeak cloud platform.

Heterodoxo, ser emergente
Authors: Rojas Vergara Emma Del Pilar
Published: November 2023

El sentido de relatividad, de cambio y transformación evolutiva del ser humano y de su inteligencia creativa lo convierten en el heterodoxo cósmico de carácter emergente. El presente artículo pretende comprender a ese hombre así caracterizado en la raíz de su naturaleza como alguien que vive dentro de una estructura ordenada, sin olvidar que está lanzado a la fugacidad y transitoriedad en el cosmos en donde a la vez se siente pasajero y emergente. Tal grado de conciencia de sí mismo y de los otros, advierte al hombre que la vida es valiosa y contiene en su esencia el sentido para ser vivida en conexión con todo cuanto existe.

Situar al hombre en una realidad emergente, siendo capaz de tener conciencia de sí mismo y de los otros, significa reconocer que se dan orígenes comunes en el cosmos con los que mantiene estrecha comunicación a pesar de la disparidad y la no coincidencia. Armonía, diálogo y comprensión permitirán que la vida sea llevadera y se convierta en arte en la búsqueda de pequeñas y grandes satisfacciones. El artículo está propuesto para volver la atención hacia esta experiencia enteramente humana.

AGAMBEN E FOUCAULT: EXPLORANDO OS LIMITES DESSA APROXIMAÇÃO A PARTIR DO TEMA DO ‘DESTITUINTE’
Authors: Freitas Lorena Martoni de
Published: November 2023

RESUMO A obra de Giorgio Agamben é marcada por constantes referências aos trabalhos de Michel Foucault, de modo que esse figura como um importante marco teórico para aquele. Entretanto, um esforço de aproximação dos dois autores se mostra deveras problemático à medida que se percebe que o filósofo italiano opera certas categorias metodológicas e conceituais fundamentais ao pensamento foucaultiano de maneira radicalmente distinta do filósofo francês. Tal incompatibilidade se apresenta com maior clareza quando nos propomos a explorar o tema do ‘destituinte’ na obra agambeniana, a partir do qual ontologia, política e ética se entrecruzam desvelando as diferenças entre os dois filósofos. Assim, para expor os limites dessa aproximação, primeiramente serão exploradas as distinções metodológicas entre os dois autores na abordagem do problema do ‘poder’, bem como a maneira como o conceito se formula na obra de cada um deles. Na sequência, serão apresentadas as linhas gerais da ‘ontologia modal’ e da ‘ética da inoperosidade’ agambenianas com o fim de explicitar ao final, à guisa de conclusão, a divergência entre as saídas éticas propostas por Foucault e Agamben em seus trabalhos tardios.
DIFERENÇA E DISTRIBUIÇÃO NÔMADE NA FILOSOFIA POLÍTICA DE DELEUZE E GUATTARI
Authors: Teixeira Yasmin de Oliveira Alves
Published: November 2023

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo foi desenvolver uma interpretação da ligação entre o empirismo transcendental deleuziano e a filosofia política deleuze-guattariana do “Tratado de Nomadologia”, que se centra no conceito de máquina de guerra nômade. Para compreender este conceito, é necessário ter em vista que se trata de uma Ideia transcendental ou multiplicidade virtual, correlata a um effondement (‘desfundamento’), que sustém uma diferença de direito em relação ao aparelho de Estado e à instituição militar. Com base nessa premissa, analisam-se os três aspectos da máquina de guerra nômade: um espacial-geográfico (o espaço liso), um numérico (o número numerante) e um afetivo (as armas). Por fim, conclui-se com um exame da leitura crítica que os autores fazem da noção de guerra absoluta em Clausewitz, que nos permite reforçar a interpretação do conceito de máquina de guerra nômade como Ideia transcendental.

Published: November 2023

Objetivo: analizar el alcance de los indicadores de desempeño del Programa Previne Brasil de Atención Primaria a la Salud. Método: para ello, se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo, con abordaje cuantitativo, utilizando datos secundarios, referentes a los años 2020 y 2021, en las cinco regiones brasileñas (Norte, Nordeste, Sur, Sudeste y Centro Oeste), disponibles en el Sistema de Información de la Atención Primaria de Salud. Se utilizaron estadísticas descriptivas, frecuencias relativas y medidas de tendencia central y modelación semiparamétrica considerando un intervalo de confianza del 5%. Resultados: hubo evidencia de evolución en las tasas de los indicadores de desempeño en la mayoría de las regiones brasileñas en 2021, en comparación con 2020, sin embargo, las Regiones Norte y Centro Oeste presentaron tasas incipientes o negativas, en comparación con la Región Sudeste. A pesar de la evolución en las tasas de los indicadores, pocos estados lograron alcanzar las metas establecidas por el Ministerio de Salud para las acciones estratégicas de atención prenatal y salud de la mujer, mientras que ningún estado logró la meta en la acción estratégica de enfermedades crónicas. Conclusión: se considera importante acompañar la evolución de los indicadores actuales, previendo su calificación para que puedan evaluar el seguimiento y la atención primaria en salud, así como garantizar la consecución de las metas asegurando la financiación de las acciones de atención primaria.

Published: November 2023

Objetivo: examinar as repercussões da pandemia no sistema familiar a partir da perspectiva dos familiares que contraíram e vivenciaram a COVID-19. Método: estudo exploratório com abordagem qualitativa realizado com 27 indivíduos que tiveram COVID-19. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de entrevistas telefônicas gravadas em áudio e guiadas por um instrumento semiestruturado. A análise dos dados baseou-se num processo indutivo apoiado na Análise Temática Reflexiva. Resultados: a pandemia e o adoecimento de um familiar atuaram como motores geradores de novos e intensos movimentos no sistema familiar. Inicialmente, perceberam repercussões negativas como preocupações, medo, angústia, estresse, distanciamento e isolamento social. Com o passar do tempo e com o uso das tecnologias para facilitar a comunicação, os familiares começaram a perceber repercussões positivas como maior proximidade, fortalecimento dos laços, desenvolvimento de novos papéis e cuidado. As famílias também identificaram recuperação de uma posição equilibrada, com retorno de certo reajuste na dinâmica e funcionamento familiar. Conclusão: os profissionais de saúde precisam reconhecer que a doença COVID-19 impôs repercussões nos sistemas familiares, propondo intervenções que ajudem as famílias a enfrentar esse momento e recuperar mais facilmente uma posição equilibrada para seu funcionamento.
Líderes na pandemia: Contribuições para a literatura sobre liderança nas organizações em contextos extremos
Authors: Braga Beatriz M. B. , Santos Vanessa M.
Published: November 2023

Resumo Objetivo: A crise causada pela pandemia da Covid-19 colocou em questão a efetividade das teorias sobre liderança desenvolvidas até o momento, tendo alguns autores argumentado que há uma crise da prática e da teoria sobre liderança. Em um contexto em que as atividades presenciais foram retomadas, o presente trabalho busca entender como a liderança enfrentou a pandemia e os resultados obtidos para organizações e pessoas. Originalidade/valor: Este trabalho propõe um modelo teórico que avança na literatura sobre liderança em eventos extremos, expandindo o modelo de Hannah et al. (2009), na medida em que contempla contexto e evento extremos de longa duração, global e em que não pôde haver preparação prévia, o que não havia sido estudado até o momento. Design/metodologia/abordagem: Trata-se de um trabalho teórico que, com base no modelo de Hannah et al. (2009) sobre a liderança em eventos extremos e na publicação de artigos empíricos sobre a liderança na pandemia de março de 2020 a dezembro de 2022, propõe um modelo para a liderança em contextos extremos. Resultados: Diversos estilos de liderança foram adotados na pandemia, mas quase todos convergiram para o papel de atenuar os efeitos da pandemia nos trabalhadores, especialmente no que diz respeito aos aspectos emocionais e psicológicos, tão impactados pelo grau de ameaça da pandemia. A liderança também pode ser um estressor quando não estabelece comunicação clara e transparente e quando prioriza as necessidades do negócio e não as pessoas.
Momento de inércia em plano inclinado com uso de Arduino
Authors: Costa e Silva Jusciane da , Mendes Gustavo Alves , Gurgel Rebouças Gustavo de Oliveira
Published: November 2023

Em física, vários problemas são estudados considerando o objeto extenso como sendo uma partícula na ausência total de atrito. Para objetos em rolamento, esta aproximação acarretará em um grave desacordo entre a teoria e a experimentação, principalmente pelo fato de que, sem atrito entre o objeto e a superfície, não há rolamento. Neste trabalho, é apresentada uma proposta experimental para o estudo do rolamento, sem deslizar, ao longo de um plano inclinado, com o qual é possível obter o comportamento temporal da posição. Além da cinemática básica relativa ao deslizamento na ausência total de atrito, o momento de inércia dos corpos em rotação, cilindros, tubos e esfera, não pode ser suprimido da análise. O uso do Arduino, associado ao sensor HC-SR04, possibilita a obtenção de um grande número de pontos para posterior análise gráfica da posição do centro de massa em função do tempo para o objeto que rola a partir do repouso em um plano inclinado. As medidas obtidas com o uso do aparato proposto apresentam uma boa correlação com os resultados esperados, possibilitando a análise e estudo do experimento, bem como, é possível identificar, graficamente, a discrepância que poderia acarretar uma vez que se desconsiderasse o momento de inércia.

No somos memorias: curar el miedo
Authors: González Álvarez Celia Irina
Published: November 2023

Resumen En enero de 2021 curé la exposición de arte nicaragüense contemporáneo en La Habana No somos memoria conformada por obras producidas después de las manifestaciones de abril de 2018 en Nicaragua. Era la primera que vez que se presentaban artistas jóvenes nicaragüenses en Cuba fuera del ámbito estatal. Unos meses antes, el 27 noviembre de 2020, había sido protagonizada por centenas de jóvenes artistas e intelectuales la manifestación pública más numerosa frente a un ministerio después del triunfo de la revolución cubana. Esos mismos jóvenes fueron el público principal de la exposición No somos memoria. Aquí me interesa pensar en la práctica curatorial como una oportunidad para habilitar estrategias ante el miedo a “hablar” y el deseo de “hablar” sobre el propio miedo, fuera del espacio estatal -en un contexto donde la estatalización de la vida es considerable- pero con el Estado como protagonista principal de la práctica artística.
Estados bíblicos: circulação e acionamento de produções audiovisuais bíblicas em contextos estatais no Brasil recente
Authors: Scola Jorge
Published: November 2023

Resumo A Rede Record vem veiculando produções de temática bíblica desde 2010 e guarda a especificidade de ser propriedade do líder de uma igreja neopentecostal, a Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus. Este artigo acompanha como produções desse ciclo bíblico têm tido participações em contextos estatais em eventos dos anos de 2019, 2021 e 2022, nos poderes Executivo e Legislativo, bem como reações e controvérsias a estas. O maior fato encadeado nessa rede é a compra pela Empresa Brasil de Comunicação da telenovela Os dez mandamentos para exibição na TV Brasil, uma emissora estatal. Pode-se dizer que essa passagem ao estatal produz certa indeterminação entre as instâncias do estatal e do religioso, ou que as complexifica. O afluxo de mídias bíblicas coproduzidas por uma igreja neopentecostal para meios estatais também importa para a discussão sobre o fomento público a produções de tema religioso, com implicações importantes para o tema da cultura.

Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT Introduction: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a tool that is already part of our reality, and this is an opportunity to understand how it can be useful in interacting with patients and providing valuable information about orthodontics. Objective: This study evaluated the accuracy of ChatGPT in providing accurate and quality information to answer questions on Clear aligners, Temporary anchorage devices and Digital imaging in orthodontics. Methods: forty-five questions and answers were generated by the ChatGPT 4.0, and analyzed separately by five orthodontists. The evaluators independently rated the quality of information provided on a Likert scale, in which higher scores indicated greater quality of information (1 = very poor; 2 = poor; 3 = acceptable; 4 = good; 5 = very good). The Kruskal-Wallis H test (p< 0.05) and post-hoc pairwise comparisons with the Bonferroni correction were performed. Results: From the 225 evaluations of the five different evaluators, 11 (4.9%) were considered as very poor, 4 (1.8%) as poor, and 15 (6.7%) as acceptable. The majority were considered as good [34 (15,1%)] and very good [161 (71.6%)]. Regarding evaluators’ scores, a slight agreement was perceived, with Fleiss’s Kappa equal to 0.004. Conclusions: ChatGPT has proven effective in providing quality answers related to clear aligners, temporary anchorage devices, and digital imaging within the context of interest of orthodontics.

Authors: SILVA Fabiane Louly Bapstista Santos , CONTI Ana Cláudia de Castro Ferreira , FERNANDES Thais Maria Freire , ARAÚJO Priscila Pinto Brandão de , PINZAN Arnaldo
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: This study compared mandibular growth in children, aged 7 to 12 years, with Class II malocclusion and normal occlusion, between the following stages of cervical vertebrae maturation: initiation (I), acceleration (A), transition (T). Material and Methods: A total of 148 lateral cephalograms (78 males, 70 females) of Class II malocclusion patients, and 60 lateral cephalograms (30 males, 30 females) of normal occlusion patients were included. The following linear cephalometric measurements were performed: Co-Gn (effective mandibular length), Co-Go (ramus height), and Go-Gn (length of mandibular body). Mean values of increments between stages (I-A, A-T, I-T) were obtained for each group and gender. Results were compared using the Student t-test, and a significance level of 0.05% was adopted. Results: Females group: A-T interval presented a greater increment in Co-Go in the Class II group, which was not significant for the I-T interval, with numerically smaller increments in Co-Gn and Go-Gn, without statistical significance. Males group: intervals I-A, A-T and I-T showed numerically smaller growth increments in the Class II group, with statistical significance for Co-Gn in I-A (p=0.001) and I-T (p=0.003). Comparing genders of the Class II group, Co-Go was higher in males (p=0.002) and I-T interval (p=0.031). In the Normal Occlusion group, the male gender had the greatest Co-Gn (p=0.038) for the I-A interval. In A-T and I-T, Co-Go in males was higher, with statistical significance (p=0.000 and p=0.002, respectively). Conclusion: Growth phenomenon affects the mandibular dimensions regardless of the character of the malocclusion, with a tendency to be smaller in the presence of Class II malocclusion.

Efecto del albendazol y la Vitamina A periódicos sobre helmintos intestinales y anemia en niños del Urabá antioqueño (Colombia)
Authors: Carmona-Fonseca Jaime , Correa-Botero Adriana
Published: November 2023

Problema: En Colombia no hay informes sobre efectos en humanos del tratamiento periódico antihelmíntico-vitamina A. Objetivo: Evaluar efectos de albendazol/pamoato de pirantelvitamina A trimestrales sobre Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Necator americanus y sobre niveles séricos de retinol y hemoglobina, en niños del Urabá antioqueño. Metodología: Estudio clínico, aleatorio, con grupos paralelos, cerrado, intervenidos y evaluados cada 3-4 meses por 4 veces, seguidos 12 meses. Intervención: suministro de pamoato de pirantel (pamoato) (< 2 años) o albendazol (≥ 2 años), con o sin vitamina A oral. Resultados: Ingreso: 25% presentó desnutrición crónica y hemoglobina (g/L), 106 g/L en < 2 años y 115 g/L en ≥ 2 años. A) Prevalencias: estrongiloides 7%, uncinarias 29%, áscaris 45%, tricocéfalos 45%. Cambios postratamiento: pamoato únicamente causó reducción de áscaris y, en general, aumentó tricocéfalos y uncinarias. Albendazol: redujo cada helminto, como lo hicieron tratamientos sin este medicamento, pero fue mayor con albendazol. B) Cambio en carga parasitaria: únicas diferencias significativas fueron para tricocéfalos con pamoato-vitamina y albendazolvitamina, por aumento, y áscaris con albendazolvitamina, por reducción. No hubo diferencia significativa entre ingreso y egreso en niveles de hemoglobina ni retinol en ninguno de los cuatro tratamientos. Conclusiones: En general, no hubo efecto del albendazol sobre la carga helmintiana, pero sí efecto moderado sobre la prevalencia de uncinarias, áscaris y tricocéfalos. Quizás la desparasitación de solo parte de la población < 15 años, sin tratar el resto de convivientes, y el mantenimiento de muy deficientes condiciones de vida expliquen estos resultados.

Mientras el Perú construyó la magnífica civilización Inca mediante la sabiduría proporcionada por la hoja de coca, se volvió luego el primer productor de derivados tóxicos de esta planta profanada. Hoy en día, de nuevo, la hoja de coca permite tratar la adicción a la cocaína y así lo demuestra la experiencia del Centro Takiwasi. Asimismo, se descubre hace unos decenios el uso sanador de la Ayahuasca y se produce en poco tiempo un uso explosivo por todo el mundo. ¿La desacralización acelerada de esta medicina llegará a los mismos extremos que el mal uso de la coca?; ¿qué nos puede enseñar el camino seguido con la coca en relación al uso de la Ayahuasca?; ¿a qué respondió el uso de la coca en Occidente y a qué responde el uso de la Ayahuasca hoy?
El culto a la Jurema en los documentos históricos
Authors: Samorini Giorgio
Published: November 2023

Objetivo. Analizar los aspectos históricos del culto brasileño de la Jurema, un culto religioso donde se utiliza una fuente visionaria obtenida de algunas especies de Mimosa. Metodología. Se analizan los documentos arqueológicos y se colectan los documentos escritos en los siglos XVIII y XIX, donde se cita a la Jurema; muchos de los cuales forman parte de los actos de la Inquisición. Resultados. La primera noticia relacionada con la bebida de la Jurema data de 1739, registrada en los Estados brasileños de Pernambuco y Paraíba; su empleo ya era procesado para esa fecha. Conclusiones. La ausencia de documentos arqueológicos ligados a la Jurema, y la fecha tardía de su aparición en los documentos escritos, sugieren una historia reciente de su culto.
100 AÑOS DEL TRACTATUS LOGICO-PHILOSOPHICUS. Una reflexión sobre lo que no se puede decir sino mostrar: Lógica, Filosofía y Ciencia Natural
Authors: Jaramillo Uribe Juan Manuel
Published: November 2023

En este artículo —conmemorativo de los cien años del Tractatus— me centraré en la primera gran obra de Wittgenstein y, en lo que sería su objetivo central que, como él mismo lo reconoce en la introducción, no es otro que el de “Trazar unos límites al pensamiento, o mejor, no al pensamiento, sino a la expresión de los pensamientos”, destacando en el lenguaje la proposición, pues es en esta donde aquel se expresa sensiblemente. Para el temprano Wittgenstein, los límites del pensamiento solo se pueden trazar en el lenguaje y no por fuera de él, pues “lo que está al otro lado del límite no tiene sentido”.
Transitioning Between Spaces: An Intersectional Account of how We are Becoming Academics
Authors: Msiza Vusi , Mbatha Nosipho , Ndlovu Nokukhanya
Published: November 2023

In this paper, we, as early career academics, share how our identities and transitioning between spaces contribute to our becoming. Using storyboarding, we draw on intersectionality and liminal theories to examine how our identities and our transition between the liminal and dominant spaces have influenced our identity construction and shaped our becoming. We learn that our identities are in a state of constant construction and that the academic spaces we have transitioned between are, and have been, significant to our becoming.

This research desires to analyze the determinants of blended teaching-learning performance in the new typical environment by exploring the role of teachers' technostress as mediation. This study uses a quantitative approach. Quantitative research methods aim to test the hypotheses that have been set. This approach uses numerical results from measurements made using a questionnaire about the study's variables. Using the complete sampling technique, which involves selecting the whole population as the research sample, it consisted of senior high school teachers in South Sumatra. The researchers used 712 research data in this investigation. The research used the structural approach of the Equation Model (SEM) and the intelligent application of PLS for analysis. According to the outcomes of this investigation, understanding technical and pedagogical content has a considerable positive impact on blended learning and teaching performance and teachers' technostress. Teachers' self-efficacy has a considerable positive impact on combined learning-teaching performance and blended teaching-learning performance and is significantly mediated by teachers' technological stress. Teacher experience significantly impacts teachers' technostress and is mediated considerably by teachers' technostress. Administration and school support show a considerable positive impact on blended teaching and learning performance and teachers' technostress, which is significantly mediated by teachers' technostress. Teachers' technological stress has a large positive effect on combined teaching-learning performance.

Published: November 2023

The 1695 Mw 6.4 Asolano earthquake is the southernmost of the six largest earthquakes to have occurred in northeast Italy or nearby (the others being 1348 Mw 6.6 Eastern Alps; 1511 Mw 6.3 Friuli-Slovenia; 1873 Mw 6.2 Alpago-Cansiglio; 1936 Mw 6.1 Alpago-Cansiglio; 1976 Mw 6.4 Friuli). The 1695 earthquake is generally associated with the Montello thrust, with most recent studies locating it on the eastern slope of Montello Hill. A full-scale reappraisal of all available historical data leads this study to a more robust macroseismic localization of the 1695 earthquake and to open toward other possible locations of the seismic source that produced it. In particular, it becomes feasible to place its epicenter at the foothills of the Monte Grappa massif, the major morphological expression of the Bassano–Valdobbiadene thrust fault. Here, we describe the reasons that make this fault a possible alternative to previous hypotheses.
Reducing Overdoses Among African American Individuals in Ohio: An Emerging Public Health Crisis
Authors: Beausir Abby , King Keith A.
Published: November 2023

The drug overdose death rate is a major public health crisis with overdoses now being considered a leading cause of death within the United States, including in Ohio. Currently, opioid overdoses primarily involve heroin, fentanyl, and other drugs such as cocaine and MDMA laced with fentanyl. Of particular concern has been the recent demographic shift regarding those who overdose. Opioid overdoses are increasing at a disproportionately higher rate among African American individuals as compared to individuals in other racial and ethnic populations. A public health approach is needed to address the rising epidemic of opioid overdoses impacting African American individuals. Such an approach would comprise a comprehensive and coordinated strategy in providing prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery services to achieve a sustainable public health impact.
The Yin and Yang of Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells – SARS-CoV-2 Protection versus Susceptibility to Selected Autoimmune Diseases
Authors: Smith Edvard
Published: November 2023

Dendritic cells can be subdivided into three major subsets. The conventional (classical) dendritic cells (cDCs), also known as myeloid DCs, can be further split into the cDC1 and cDC2 subpopulations. The third subpopulation is the plasmacytoid DC (pDC). The pDCs are unique because they constitute the leukocyte, which secretes the largest amount of interferon (IFN). Since IFNs are crucial in the defence against viruses, it could be hypothesized that reduced IFN production by pDCs could cause susceptibility to viral infections in general. However, this does not seem to be the case, since it was not until the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic that the essential role of pDCs in viral immunity was revealed. In this review we discuss the role of pDCs in the protection against Covid-19 and the mechanisms underlying susceptibility when these cells are malfunctioning as seen in haematological malignancies. In contrast, overactive pDCs can lead to selected autoimmune diseases, where systemic lupus (SLE) is the premier example, demonstrating the yin and yang relationship.
Epistemologías de la manigua: genealogía de su esclavización en el Chocó, Colombia
Authors: Jhonmer Hinestroza Ramírez
Published: November 2023

Esta investigación aborda, desde una aproximación genealógica, los modos de pervivencia, legitimación e institucionalización de las políticas epistémicas coloniales que reproducen la jerarquía racial y cultural del conocimiento científico, y determinan la esclavización de las epistemologías de la manigua, como conocimientos de los ribereños, en el Chocó, Colombia. El racismo da forma a la vida moderna desde la razón faloblancocéntrica. Las epistemologías de la manigua ofrecen una metodología plural en las ciencias sociales, y están sustentadas en las mañas de Tío Conejo y Ananse, archivos documentales, entre otros. El ribereño desde la etnoeducación busca comprenderse, existir en la escuela, mantener su ombligo en la ribera y construir una mirada emancipadora de su existencia.

Published: November 2023

El objetivo del presente estudio consistió en conocer el significado del trabajo en la vejez desde la perspectiva de jóvenes y adultos de la Ciudad de México. Colaboraron 110 personas con edades de 18 a 59 años (Medad = 36.7, DE = 18.). Se utilizó la técnica de Redes Semánticas Naturales Modificadas. Como resultado se obtuvieron cuatro redes semánticas, y las definidoras con mayor Peso Semántico (PS) para cada núcleo de red fueron: 1.- Cansado (PS = 184) y Necesario (PS = 148); 2.- Responsables (PS = 155) y Activos (PS = 150); 3.- Lento (PS = 265) y Bueno (PS = 218); 4.- Tristeza (PS = 241) y Orgullo (PS = 183). Se concluye que el significado del trabajo en la vejez se caracteriza por la coexistencia de creencias positivas y negativas, agrupadas en tres dimensiones: centralidad, normas sociales e importancia de las metas de trabajo.
Figures de style et lobbying
Authors: Marchal Cécile
Published: November 2023

Le présent article aborde l’analyse de la persuasion argumentative et de la figuralité dans le discours en rapport avec le lobbying. Pour être convaincant face à leurs interlocuteurs, le lobbying utilise des techniques linguistiques afin de servir leurs intérêts. De son côté, l’opinion publique se sert de ces mêmes techniques langagières afin de dénoncer les activités du lobbying. Ces techniques langagières sont la persuasion et la figuralité, et elles ont pour objectif d’embellir, de critiquer ou d’atténuer le discours, en fonction de la perspective de l’émetteur. Cela permet aussi de caractériser, d’une part, la culture sociale d’une zone géographique déterminée, et de l’autre, le rôle du lobby dans cette société et l’image publique que ce dernier renvoie. C’est dans cette optique d’argumentativité que l’article offre une approche de ces stratégies discursives, par le biais d’écrits scientifiques et médiatiques.

Tilapia is one of the fish that is widely cultivated in Indonesia. The obstacle to tilapia cultivation is high reproduction, which inhibits growth. An alternative to increase growth is by inhibiting gonad growth, so that feed energy is focused on somatic development. The aim of this research was to analyse the effect of velvet bean extract concentration on individual growth and gonad development of female tilapia fish and to determine the optimum concentration of velvet bean extract to increase growth and reduce reproductive activity in female tilapia fish. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with the addition of various velvet bean extracts and compared with the control (without velvet bean extract). The use of velvet bean extract had a significant effect (p<0.05) on growth parameters such as length, weight, fecundity and egg diameter. The best treatment was found in treatment 3 (velvet bean extract 5 ml.kg-1 ) which resulted in growth in individual length of 16.1 cm, individual weight of 89.43 g, fecundity of 2206 and egg diameter of 1.11 mm. In addition, the dose in this treatment may reduce the reproductive activity of tilapia.

Published: November 2023

Fish transportation is a crucial step in maintaining fish quality during the shipping process from one region to another. The closed-wet system, which is commonly used for fish transportation, has several obstacles in the form of fish stress and mortality. Stressed fish generate primary, secondary, and tertiary stress responses. The purpose of this study is to assess the secondary stress response of tilapia during transportation by giving different doses of hydrogen peroxide. 3% hydrogen peroxide applied to water resulting in three different doses i.e. 0.3 ml.L-1 , 0.1 ml.L-1 , 0.08 ml.L-1 and without hydrogen peroxide used as control groups. Data was obtained by measuring blood glucose levels and the ventilation rate of tilapia. The results showed an alteration in blood glucose levels and ventilation rate of tilapia during transportation. Treatment with 0.1 ml.L-1 hydrogen peroxide gave the lowest glucose levels during 10 hours of transportation. Changes in ventilation rate of tilapia were observed in the treatment with 0.1 ml.L-1 of hydrogen peroxide which indicated miled stress conditions. It can be concluded that the optimal dose of hydrogen peroxide in the transportation process is 0.1 ml.L-1 of hydrogen peroxide.
