¿Independencia en tiempos del Tren Maya?
Authors: Hernández Castillo Rosalva Aída , Rueda Elisa Cruz
Published: November 2021

En este ensayo, abordamos, desde la etnohistoria y la antropología política, el significado que tuvo el evento histórico conocido como la independencia de México para los pueblos originarios. En diálogo con la literatura que aborda el colonialismo como una estructura que sigue marcando la vida de los pueblos indígenas –y no como un evento histórico que se vio interrumpido por las guerras de independencia–, analizamos el continuum de violencias coloniales que ha caracterizado la historia contemporánea de estos pueblos. Documentamos las manifestaciones de estas violencias durante el gobierno actual de Andrés Manuel López Obrador (2018–23), tomando como ejemplo el principal proyecto de “desarrollo” de la actual administración, conocido como el Tren Maya. A partir de la información recabada en una investigación colaborativa, desde el activismo legal de una de las autoras, analizamos los impactos y resistencias que se han desarrollado contra este proyecto, el cual presentamos como una forma de despojo territorial.
Highly sensitive in vitro bioassay for luteinizing hormone and chorionic gonadotropin allowing their measurement in plasma
Authors: Klett Danièle , Combarnous Yves
Published: November 2021

In previous studies, we had shown the synergistic effect of 10−5 M forskolin (FSK) on the detection threshold of the cyclic AMP response to luteinizing hormones (LH) and chorionic gonadotropins (CG) from various species in the mouse Leydig tumor cell (mLTC) cell line. Independently, we started to study the effect of 10−12–10−6 M oxytocin (OXT) also on the cyclic AMP response to LH and CG preparations on these same cells and found an amplifying effect on the luminescence response caused by gonadotropins. The aim was then to explore the effects of 10−12–10−6 M OXT on the gonadotropin-induced cAMP response, in the presence or absence of 10 µM FSK to optimize the assay down to a sensitivity compatible with the detection of the circulating concentrations of these hormones in various species. Finally, the optimization relies on three independent phenomena: (1) the inhibition of nucleotide phosphodiesterase by IBMX (3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine) to avoid cAMP degradation; (2) the strong synergy of 10 µM forskolin with low concentrations of LH or CG during the 1-h luminescence measurement; (3) the stimulatory effect of 10−8M OXT on the amplitude of transfected cAMP-sensitive luciferase response. By doing this, the detectable concentrations are at the 1–10 pg/well (pM range) for the LHs and CGs from various species. The bioactivities of circulating LHs and CGs in blood or urine are therefore expected to be measurable in 10 µL-plasma samples from mammalian species and maybe others. Indeed, a preliminary study with equine and donkey plasma samples shows that the measured bioactivity was fully inhibited by a specific MAB against the receptor-binding region of equine LH (eLH) and equine CG (eCG), thus eliminating a possible response due to interfering substances other than eLH or eCG. From these data, it is expected that the bioactivity profiles of these hormones will be measurable in the blood of human, equine, and ovine species and very likely in rodents, ruminants, and hopefully in most other mammalian species.

Lay summary

Luteinizing hormone (LH) plays a central role in controlling ovary and testicle functions in many animals, including humans. The highly sensitive method, known as an assay, described in this paper, measures the biological activity of LH in the blood of mammals. The assay is performed in culture of cells derived from mouse testicles in the presence of factors that diminish the detection threshold for LH. The knowledge of the bioactive LH concentration dynamics in the blood is very informative about the reproductive status of male and female mammals. This new in vitro bioassay provides a powerful tool to get this information.

Numerous evidence implies complex interrelations between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hypertension (HT) in reproductive-age women. In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential strain differences in ovarian morphology, hemodynamic, and biochemical characteristics in an androgen-induced PCOS rat model. A total of 24 rats of 3 weeks old (12 Wistar Kyoto – WK and 12 spontaneously hypertensive rats – SHR) were divided into four groups: WK, WK PCOS, SHR, and SHR PCOS. PCOS was induced by daily s.c. injections of testosterone enanthate (1 mg/100 g body weight) administered for 5 weeks. PCOS induction led to estrus cyclicity cessation, cystic ovarian appearance, and sex hormones disturbances in both strains. The morphometric parameters in ovaries were altered in a manner of PCOS-related changes in both strains (higher number in preantral, atretic, and cystic follicles). Ultrasonographically, a significant decrease in ovarian volume (OV) was registered in PCOS groups but also in SHR compared to WK rats. All blood pressure parameters were higher in SHR compared to WK. PCOS modeling increased systolic, mean arterial, and pulse pressure in WK strain, while in SHR, only mean arterial and pulse pressure were higher. Alterations in oxidative stress parameters could provide a molecular basis for PCOS-related changes: in PCOS groups, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance and superoxide anion radical levels were higher in both strains, while superoxide dismutase and glutathione were significantly lowered.

The paper studies the distinctive features of micro-hardness value changes in the zone of industrial aluminum alloy 1933 and alloy 1380 irradiated by the relativistic electron beam. The surface layer was modified under the relativistic electron beam injected along with the equal energy parameters. However, we have to claim that some physical and technological properties of the irradiated alloys layer came with some differences. The modified layer micro-hardness increased over 30% in 1933 aluminum alloy and decreased by 10% in 1380 aluminum alloy. The mechanisms affecting the metal material strengthening transformation after a pulsed electron beam application are analyzed. Thus it was established that one of the core impacts to increase the micro-hardness of 1933 aluminum alloy surface layer was fine MgO impurities being absent in the initial alloy and caused by the irradiation, whilst the micro-hardness of the irradiated layer of the 1380 aluminum alloy decreases due to the dissolution during irradiation of the strengthening phases, which were identified in the initial state.

The academic publication takes on an increasingly relevant place to shape, on the one hand, the scholar’s prestige, and on the other, the prestige of the institution to which he or she is attached. In addition, academic publishing is vital for the development of scientific knowledge and the contribution to the community. This paper analyzes several dimensions that may be central to academic publishing in the near future. To this end, in methodological terms, a qualitative approach was favored, namely through the documentary analysis of scientific writings that analyze this topic. The results of this analysis reveal that this is a process in constant and accelerated development, but there will have to be criteria and processes for selecting what is scientifically relevant from what is called “noise” in scientific publishing. Increasing quality will have to be a fundamental element in this process.

Published: November 2021

The purpose of this work is to determine the hydrochemical parameters of the water of the river Seret and the features of the accumulation of heavy metals by bivalve molluscs Unio pictorum L. to predict the chemical contamination of the reservoir in the near future. Water samples for the study were taken in spring (April) and summer (July) from the Seret River at two points: above and below Ternopil. It is established that the chemical composition of the water of the river Seret is formed under the influence of a number of factors, but seasonal and anthropogenic factors play a dominant role. In the spring season, a number of hydrochemical indicators (pH, water hardness, concentration of ΝΟ 2-, ΝН4+, Сl- ions and metals) have lower values than in the summer. In addition, there is an increase in the amount of organic matter, ammonium cations, nitrite ions, chloride ions, phosphate ions and a decrease in oxygen concentration below Ternopil, especially in the summer season. This is evidence that the Seret River is under significant anthropogenic impact. An increase in the concentration of metals (Mn, Cu and Pb) in summer below Ternopil was revealed, which may be due to the discharge of insufficiently treated wastewater. The series of metal concentrations in the water of the Seret River looks as follows Mn → Zn → Pb → Cd → Cu, and the series of accumulation of metals in the tissues of molluscs Unio pictorum L. has the form Zn → Mn → Cu → Pb → Cd. On the basis of bioaccumulation coefficients of heavy metals by molluscs, a prediction of the situation on their content in water for the short term based on the theory of Markov chains was made. This theory allows us to make forecasts of a factor, taking into account the possibility of accidental influences on the environment, and to investigate the highest probability of finding a factor in a certain numerical parameter. The possibility of using economic and mathematical modelling tools and statistical methods based on correlation-regression analysis using modern Matlab information systems to identify correlations between chemical indicators of water quality and biological molluscs for modelling the environmental situation of the river Seret and assessing the contribution of the studied indicators in pollution of small rivers is shown.
Intra-annual and long-periodic components in the changes of precipitation over the Antarctic Peninsula and their possible causes
Authors: Klok Serhii V. , Kornus Anatolii O.
Published: November 2021

In order to identify and study the main mechanisms of the formation of atmospheric precipitation, in the article the monthly and annual amounts of precipitation were analyzed from the observations results at Vernadsky, Bellingshausen and Grytviken stations. For the last station, a small linear trend of precipitation increase was detected, while at Vernadsky and Bellingshausen station it is practically absent. At the next stage of the study, the characteristics of intra-annual component of the precipitation variability for these stations were obtained. In the annual course, the component of precipitation variability is represented by 3 peaks – March, July and October (at Bellingshausen station March and July only), with a well-pronounced 4-year periodicity. However, data from Vernadsky station indicates a decrease of the seasonal component in time, at Grytviken station the seasonal component is stable, while at Bellingshausen station is increasing of the seasonal component in time. The analysis of long-period components of the precipitation variability of was carried out on the remains of the data obtained after the analysis of the intra-annual component. For the long-period component of precipitation variability at Vernadsky station, five statistically significant harmonics were obtained, which are reflected in periods of 6.8, 2.4, 4.0, 5.1, and 5.3 years. For Grytviken and Bellingshausen stations, 4 statistically significant harmonics were obtained, the periods of which are 4.2, 0.8, 1.7, 8.9 years and 1.5, 2.0, 2.8, 0.2 years, respectively. Today, the main phases of solar activity are well known, which are about 11 years old. The long-period components of precipitation variability obtained in the work for the stations under consideration (to 10.3, 12 and 34.1 years) are identical (close) to the mentioned phase of solar activity. This allowed the authors to draw preliminary conclusions about the influence of solar activity on the conditions for the formation of precipitation in the region under study. However, direct correlation analysis did not confirm this, as in the case of the El Niño influence.
A geographical dimension of resource endowment of Ukrainian territories

Published: November 2021

Given the multidisciplinary nature of this research, it is important to develop a common understanding of the security and complexity of the rational consumption of available minerals. Considerations for the availability and depletion of minerals are part of a diverse range of research focused on sustainable development, in areas such as resource critical shortage, life cycle assessment and material flow analysis. Mineral resources are non-renewable resources that provide humanity with a wide range of goods and services. Although their value has been recognized for millennia, their large-scale industrial production did not grow until after World War II due to efficient industrial production processes and rapidly growing demand due to demographic growth, urbanization and economic wealth growth in developed countries. The proposed research confirms the high level of supply of the territory of Ukraine with mineral resources. The objective idea of mineral and self-sufficiency of Ukraine, its inclusion in the top groups of the states most provided with the most valuable types of minerals is strengthened and the high level of availability of mineral resources in Ukraine in terms of its economic and geographical areas and regions is confirmed. At the same time, a number of mineral deposits in modern social and economic conditions are preserved and not used. For the first time, a cartographic interpretation of the periodic table of chemical elements (D. I. Menedeleev's table) is given, which is reinforced by data on the distribution of mineral resources and minerals in terms of selected groups of regions within the administrative regions of Ukraine. There are 33 chemical elements extracted from more than 100 mineral deposits. The provisions and conclusions of the article testify the mineral self-sufficiency of Ukraine and can act as a lever for developing strategies for socio-economic development of the United Territorial Communities (UTC) of Ukraine, which today are the new centers of management of territories and its resources. D. I. Mendeleev's table and its mineral content are positioned as an objective factor in the specialization of Ukraine and the international geographical division of labour. It is noted that the main advantages of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements, including its structure, logic, objectivity, a system in relation to the economic and geographical regions of Ukraine are considered as an element of monitoring the mineral component of natural resources of the country, the lever of further development of exploratory geology and geomorphology. The information obtained from this research ultimately influences the future policies of the territories and its plans for the balanced use of available mineral reserves and can be used to promote the sustainable use of mineral resources in the regions.

Published: November 2021

In this study, a UPLC-MS/MS method was developed to measure the concentrations of the flavonoids oroxin A, oroxin B, oroxylin A, oroxyloside, chrysin, chrysin 7-O-beta-gentiobioside, and guaijaverin in the blank mouse blood, and the method was then used in the measurement of the pharmacokinetics of the compounds in mice. Oroxin A, oroxin B, oroxylin A, oroxyloside, chrysin, chrysin 7-O-beta-gentiobioside, and guaijaverin were administered intravenously at a dose of 5 mg kg−1, and the mouse blood (20 μL) was withdrawn from the caudal vein 0.08333, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 h after administration. The mobile phase used for chromatographic separation by gradient elution was composed of acetonitrile and water (0.1% formic acid). The analytes were detected by operating in electrospray ionization (ESI) positive-ion mode using multiple reactions monitoring (MRM). The intra-day and inter-day accuracy ranged from 86.2 to 109.3%, the intra-day precision was less than 14%, and the inter-day precision was less than 15%. The matrix effect ranged from 85.3 to 111.3%, and the recovery of the analytes after protein precipitation were all above 78.2%. This method had the advantages of high sensitivity, accuracy, and recovery, and it had excellent selectivity, which enabled it to be applied to measuring the pharmacokinetics of the analytes in mice.

ABSTRACT Pulmonary adenocarcinoma is a malignant epithelial neoplasia that usually arises from conducting airways or alveolar parenchyma. It has rarely been described in wild felids, with no previous reports in ocelots. In domestic cats it is a very aggressive neoplasm with a high metastatic rate that usually evolves to death. This report aimed to describe a pulmonary adenocarcinoma in a captive and senile ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), with a thorough morphologic and immunophenotypically characterization, evidencing the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenomenon in a high metastatic carcinoma, an important feature rarely described in veterinary medicine, even in domestic cats.

mRNA Vaccine Review against COVID-19 with Potential Applications to Improve Efficacy and Targeting
Authors: MS Iqbal , SA Mousa
Published: November 2021

Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus is the cause of the pandemic that has affected over 213 countries and there are over 21 million confirmed cases in the United States. Intense research efforts and funding have been placed into diagnostic, prevention, and treatment options. This review evaluates mRNA vaccines, their advantages, limitations, and current progress towards vaccine production. We included current methods of mRNA vaccine production and introduce potential changes in vaccine delivery methods currently being developed to specifically aid in targeting the coronavirus. We evaluated various routes of administration and their potential to allow vaccines to reach the immune system and induce an immune response to produce antibodies and provide immunity. Safety and efficacy have been evaluated in this review of various mRNA clinical trials that aimed to determine if mRNA vaccines can cause antibody production and the types of adverse events associated with them. Although mRNA vaccines are not perfect in design, the possibilities they offer in advancing vaccine research and fighting other viral infections while improving immunity are worth further research.
Let Me Out of Here: A Story of Using Comics to Heal During the Pandemic
Authors: Heifler Sydney Phillips
Published: November 2021

This graphic essay details the hardships I faced during the pandemic. It highlights the importance of comic-making to combat present-day isolation and hardship and aid recovery from trauma. During the first year of my Ph.D. I experienced a miscarriage, my step-grandfather passed away with Covid, and, at the start of my second semester, I was sexually assaulted, resulting in a physical injury that has yet to heal. The emotional and physical trauma of these incidents put me behind in my coursework. To cope, I engaged in art therapy and completed a trauma recovery program. Often, my recovery has been aided by and expressed through the digital comics I create, which are generally poetry comics. By expressing the weight of these traumatic incidents in drawings and text, I acknowledged their significance and found some relief and self-consolation.  In sharing my experience, I hope to impart the importance of comics in this moment by showing how creating them helped me process trauma created and exacerbated by the pandemic.

Published: November 2021

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between lifelong learning and epistemological beliefs of associate degree students. In the study, correlational method, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was employed. The population of the study consisted of students studying at a vocational high school of a state university in Turkey and the sample of the study consisted of 360 students selected from the population through convenience sampling. In the study, the “Lifelong Learning Scale” adapted by Engin, Kör and Erbay (2017) and the “Epistemological Beliefs Scale” adapted by Aydın, Selçuk, Çakmak and İlğan (2017) were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics, pearson correlation analysis, regression analysis, hierarchical regression and two-way analysis of variance were used for data analysis. As a result of the study, a positive, significant and nearly medium level relationship was found between lifelong learning and epistemological beliefs of associate degree students. In addition, it was found that epistemological beliefs predict students’ lifelong learning by 8.7%. While there was a positive and moderate level relationship between the effort dimension, which is the sub dimension of epistemological beliefs, and lifelong learning, a positive and weak level relationship was obtained between lifelong learning and a single truth sub dimensions of the epistemological beliefs scale. On the other hand, there was almost no relationship between the ability sub dimension and students’ lifelong learning level. In addition, when the epistemological beliefs of the students and independent variables (gender, class, type of education, age, department and department type) were considered as common variables, no statistically significant difference was found in terms of lifelong learning level of the students.
Teacher Positioning and Students with Dyslexia: Voices of Croatian EFL teachers
Authors: Kałdonek-Crnjaković Agnieszka , Fišer Zrinka
Published: November 2021

How students with dyslexia are positioned by their language teachers and what roles teachers assume when working with this group of students have rarely been investigated. In this study, using positioning theory as a theoretical framework and collecting data by means of an in-depth semi-structured interview and lesson observations, which were subsequently coded, we enquired about the positioning of 10 in-service Croatian primary and secondary school teachers. We wanted to know how teacher participants positioned students with dyslexia and how they positioned themselves towards this group of students. The analysis revealed that participants expressed positive attitudes, whereas their positioning was diverse. Participants positioned themselves as caring teachers and teachers of all learners. By recognising various learner needs, they created an inclusive learning environment by adapting teaching approaches and providing accommodations. However, this caring resulted in emotion labour, with both emotional costs and rewards. These results imply that teaching students with dyslexia may be challenging, and we hope that discussing teacher positioning in this context can help educators better understand teacher agency when working with students with SpLDs.

Published: November 2021

Flood is caused by surface runoff, therefore controlling the surface runoff is necessary especially on built areas. The aim of this research is to analyze the width, calculating the volume of surface runoff and analyze the model of infiltration wells on built areas in Bandung Regency. The methods implemented in this research is experimental method. This method was carried while analyzing rainfall on built areas samples, which is house building. The land use was analyzed through Landsat 8 imagery in the year of 2019. Rainfall volume was calculated by equation V = h x l. Meanwhile the volume of infiltration well was calculated by equation V = h x k. The result of 2019 Landsat imagery analysis shows that 19.01% of total watersheds in Bandung Regency or as much as 1382.13 km2 is the built areas. The highest rainfall in total of 0.02431 m occurred in October on the area of 197.67 m2 and became a surface runoff of 377,534 m3. In a house building, as built area example, as wide as 90 m3, the amount of 2.19 m3 rainwater needed to be infiltrated. Infiltration well model is a management model on each built areas, so that rainwater on built areas would not be turned into a surface runoff.
