Expression of cannabinoid (CB1 and CB2) and cannabinoid-related receptors (TRPV1, GPR55, and PPARα) in the synovial membrane of the horse metacarpophalangeal joint
Authors: Zamith Cunha Rodrigo , Zannoni Augusta , Salamanca Giulia , De Silva Margherita , Rinnovati Riccardo , Gramenzi Alessandro , Forni Monica , Chiocchetti Roberto
Published: March 2023

Background

The metacarpophalangeal joint undergoes enormous loading during locomotion and can therefore often become inflamed, potentially resulting in osteoarthritis (OA). There are studies indicating that the endocannabinoid system (ECS) modulates synovium homeostasis, and could be a promising target for OA therapy. Some cannabinoid receptors, which modulate proliferative and secretory responses in joint inflammation, have been functionally identified in human and animal synovial cells.

Objective

To characterize the cellular distribution of the cannabinoid receptors 1 (CB1R) and 2 (CB2R), and the cannabinoid-related receptors transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1), G protein-related receptor 55 (GPR55) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) in the synovial membrane of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the horse.

Animals

The dorsal synovial membranes of 14 equine metacarpophalangeal joints were collected post-mortem from an abattoir.

Materials and methods

The dorsal synovial membranes of 14 equine metacarpophalangeal joints were collected post-mortem from an abattoir. The expression of the CB1R, CB2R, TRPV1, GPR55, and PPARα in synovial tissues was studied using qualitative and quantitative immunofluorescence, and quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR). Macrophage-like (MLS) and fibroblast-like (FLS) synoviocytes were identified by means of antibodies directed against IBA1 and vimentin, respectively.

Results

Both the mRNA and protein expression of the CB2R, TRPV1, GPR55, and PPARα were found in the synoviocytes and blood vessels of the metacarpophalangeal joints. The synoviocytes expressed the mRNA and protein of the CB1R in some of the horses investigated, but not in all.

Conclusions and clinical importance

Given the expression of the CB1R, CB2R, TRPV1, GPR55, and PPARα in the synovial elements of the metacarpophalangeal joint, these findings encouraged the development of new studies supporting the use of molecules acting on these receptors to reduce the inflammation during joint inflammation in the horse.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate COVID-19 effects on breast cancer screening and clinical stage at diagnosis in patients of 50–69 years of age receiving care within the public healthcare network (SUS) in 2013–2021 in Brazil and its macro-regions.

Methods: This ecological study used Poisson regression to analyze trends in screening and staging. A secondary database was formed using SUS sources: outpatient data system of the SUS network and Oncology—Brazil Panel.

Results: There was a reduction in screening, with an annual percent change of −5.9 (p < 0.022). The number of notified cases fell by 31.5% in 2020–2021 compared to 2018–2019. There was a 10.7% increase in the proportion of stage III/IV cases (p < 0.001) in 2020–2021 compared to 2013–2019, now surpassing the number of cases of early stage breast cancer.

Conclusion: COVID-19 led to a reduction in breast cancer screening and an expressive increase in advanced tumors in users of the public healthcare network. Urgent interventions in public policies are required as the negative effects of the pandemic on the diagnosis/treatment of breast cancer are becoming apparent even earlier than expected.
3D Continuum Modelling of PDC Cutting of Rock with a Simple Contact-Erosion Scheme
Authors: Saksala Timo
Published: March 2023

This paper presents a relatively simple numerical approach to predict the cutting force during PDC (polycrystalline diamond contact) cutting of rock. The rock failure model is based on a damage-viscoplasticity model, with the Drucker–Prager yield surface and the modified Rankine surface as the tensile cut-off. The damage part of the model has separate scalar damage variables for tension and compression. The PDC cutter is idealized to a rigid surface and its interaction with the rock is modelled by contact mechanics, while solving the global equations of motion explicitly in time. A damage-based erosion criterion is applied, to remove the contact nodes surrounded by heavily damaged elements. The eroded elements are left in the mesh as ghost elements that do not contribute to the load transfer but preserve the mass conservation. Numerical simulations on granite, demonstrate that the method reliably predicts the cutting force of a single PDC cutter at different cutting depths and rake angles.
Real-Time Pricing-Enabled Demand Response Using Long Short-Time Memory Deep Learning
Authors: Almani Aftab Ahmed , Han Xueshan
Published: March 2023

Sustainable energy development requires environment-friendly energy-generating methods. Pricing system constraints influence the efficient use of energy resources. Real-Time Pricing (RTP) is theoretically superior to previous pricing systems for allowing demand response (DR) activities. The DR approach has been useful for correcting supply–demand imbalances as technology has evolved. There are several systems for determining and controlling the DR. However, most of these solutions are unable to control rising demand or forecast prices for future time slots. This research provides a Real-Time Pricing DR model for energy management based on deep learning, where the learning framework is trained on demand response and real-time pricing. The study data in this article were taken from the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), and the learning framework was trained over 17 years of data to forecast the real future energy price and demand. To investigate the suggested deep learning-based dynamic pricing strategy, two prediction instances are addressed: actual–predicted demand and actual–predicted price. We estimated pricing and demand outcomes using long short-term memory (LSTM), which were then greatly improved by architectural changes in the model. The findings showed that the suggested model is suitable for energy management in terms of demand and price prediction.

Published: March 2023

How impactful is the use of Sertraline, Fluoxetine, and Escitalopram monotherapy on psychological distress among adults with depression in the real world? Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the most commonly prescribed antidepressants. Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) longitudinal data files from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2019 (panel 17–23) were used to assess the effects of Sertraline, Fluoxetine and Escitalopram on psychological distress among adult outpatients diagnosed with a major depressive disorder. Participants aged 20–80 years without comorbidities, who initiated antidepressants only at rounds 2 and 3 of each panel, were included. The impact of the medicines on psychological distress was assessed using changes in Kessler Index (K6) scores, which were measured only in rounds 2 and 4 of each panel. Multinomial logistic regression was conducted using the changes in the K6 scores as a dependent variable. A total of 589 participants were included in the study. Overall, 90.79% of the study participants on monotherapy antidepressants reported improved levels of psychological distress. Fluoxetine had the highest improvement rate of 91.87%, followed by Escitalopram (90.38%) and Sertraline (90.27%). The findings on the comparative effectiveness of the three medications were statistically insignificant. Sertraline, Fluoxetine, and Escitalopram were shown to be effective among adult patients suffering from major depressive disorders without comorbid conditions.

Authors: Zhang Jiangnan , Zangeneh Mehrdad
Published: March 2023

In this paper, we present the design and optimization of a centrifugal fan with requirements of maximizing the total-to-static pressure rise and total-to-static efficiency at two operating points and the maximum torque provided by the motor power using a 3D inverse design method, a DOE (design of experiment) study, an RSM (response surface model) and a MOGA (multi-objective genetic algorithm). The fan geometry is parametrized using 13 design parameters, and 120 different designs are generated. The fan performances of all the designs at two operating conditions are evaluated through steady-state CFD simulations. The resulting design matrix is used to create an RSM based on the Kriging method and MOGA is used to search the design space using the RSM and find the optimal design.
Do Livelihood Strategies Influence Post-Epidemic Business Performance? Investigation of Social Capital and Environmental Perception
Authors: Wang Zhonghao
Published: March 2023

Livelihood strategies are a combination of activities and actions that individuals undertake to accomplish their desired goals. The current study aimed to examine the impacts of livelihood strategies on business performance. This study explored social capital as a mediator between livelihood strategies and business performance. This study further investigated how environmental perception strengthens livelihood strategies and business performance. For data collection, a quantitative research method and a random sampling technique were used. Data were collected through 550 questionnaires from small–medium enterprises (SMEs) in China. To test the study hypotheses, structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed. The findings confirm the notion that livelihood strategies are positively associated with business performance. The results also corroborate the notion that social capital mediates the association between livelihood strategies and business performance. The outcome validates the notion that livelihood strategies and business performance are further articulated when environmental perception is higher. Environmental perception moderated the impacts of livelihood strategies on business performance via social capital. The current research provides a better understanding of how livelihood strategies facilitate amplified business performance via social capital and the valuable role of environmental perception in research models.

It is well known that the effectiveness of the use of feed products depends on the method of processing and preparation of feed for feeding. The purpose of the research was to study the chemical composition and nutritional value of barley grain before and after preparation for feeding in diff erent ways. The object of research was the grain of barley of naked barley varieties Nudum 95 and Granal 32 and fi lmy variety Chelyabinsk 99. The research was devoted to the study of the infl uence of diff erent methods of preparing barley for feeding on the chemical composition of the feed. The processing of barley grain in diff erent ways has had a signifi cant infl uence on its chemical composition. Germination of barley grains of the studied varieties led to an increase in the concentration of crude protein and crude fi ber in the dry matter compared with grain without processing. The amount of crude fat, nitrogen-free extractive substances and starch in sprouted grain has been decreased by 18 %, 11 and 15 %, respectively. When grain was extruded, the crude protein content of the fi lmy and naked varieties increased by 16 and 11 %, respectively, compared with grain without processing. There was a decrease in crude fi ber, crude fat and starch. The fl attening of the grain did not have a signifi cant eff ect on the nutrient content. Preparation of barley for feeding by a complex method (germination + extrusion) it contributed to the increase in raw protein in the feed compared to other methods. However, there was a decrease in the grain content of crude fat, nitrogen-free extractive substances and starch.
Perpsectivas para o mercado de factoring e securitização de ativos mercantis no Brasil
Authors: De Morais Júnior João , Olivo Rodolfo Leandro de Faria
Published: March 2023

Nos últimos 40 anos, o setor de factoring e securitização tem passado por profundas transformações. De uma atuação que, para muitos beirava, a agiotagem, o setor se consolidou num dos maiores instrumentos de crédito para a pequena, micro e média empresa. Com a criação da ANFAC, em 1982, o setor adotou contornos estritamente profissionais, com forte atuação na antecipação de recebíveis e se constituindo, muitas vezes, como o único instrumento de crédito acessível a empresas em situação econômica e financeira extremamente frágil. Essas empresas apresentam restrições cadastrais, que impedem o acesso ao crédito por vias convencionais – bancos e instituições financeiras. O setor vive uma nova realidade, que se traduz pelas estatísticas fornecidas pela ANFAC, que inclui os FIDCs (Fundos de Direitos Creditórios), movimentou, nos anos de 2018 e 2019, 150 bilhões de reais em antecipação de recebíveis. Outro ponto de suma importância é que o factoring atende a mais de 200 mil empresas e contribui para a manutenção e geração de empregos. Sob o ponto de vista socioeconômico, o setor contribui para a manutenção de mais de 5 milhões de empregos diretos e indiretos nas cadeias produtivas industriais, comerciais, agronegócios, e de serviços neste mesmo período. Com intuito de ressaltar a importância do setor de factoring para a economia brasileira, o presente estudo se propõe a lançar luz sobre um setor pouco estudado e construir uma visão prospectiva para o setor de antecipação de recebíveis, em especial para as factorings e securitizadoras. Para tanto, foram consultados especialistas e líderes do setor, que ajudassem a construir uma visão para o futuro, tendo em vista os ambientes político, econômico, social, legal e tecnológico, seus impactos sobre o setor analisado e quais os desafios e oportunidades que se apresentam ao longo do tempo sobre o tema.

Benefício antecipado: um novo protocolo
Authors: Magalhaes Barbara Christina Boucas , Rodrigues Sibeli
Published: March 2023

O procedimento para correção de deformidades dentofaciais remonta ao século XIX Para corrigi-las, foram realizados vários procedimentos por meio de variadas técnicas cirúrgicas. A intervenção em si, de forma eficaz, surgiu a partir da década de 60, quando aplicaram o tratamento ortodôntico anteriormente à intervenção cirúrgica corretiva. Essa técnica se tornou eficaz e absoluta no que é inerente ao tratamento ortocirúrgico. Com a evolução da ciência, novos conceitos relacionados a esse tipo de tratamento foram desenvolvidos. A cirurgia de benefício antecipado ou Surgery First Orthognathic Approach (SFOA) foi um deles, evidenciando não apenas a oclusão, mas também as expectativas do indivíduo que irá se submeter a tal procedimento. Assim, mediante estudos, foi comprovada a grande diminuição de tempo total de tratamento, evitando também a piora do quadro clínico, contribuindo de forma substancial para a melhora do convívio social e das relações interpessoais do paciente. Atualmente, dispor de várias alternativas para a resolução de um mesmo problema é salutar para que o profissional possa decidir com mais conforto o que é melhor para o indivíduo. A cirurgia de benefício antecipado, agora, faz parte de um elenco de opções que o cirurgião bucomaxilo facial possui para um mesmo tratamento, ao demonstrar que o novo protocolo provou ser tão ou mais eficaz do que a técnica tradicional.
One Abutment One time: uma nova perspectiva de reabilitação oral
Authors: Magalhaes Barbara Christina Boucas
Published: March 2023

A reabilitação oral realizada através da instalação de implantes dentários é, até os dias atuais, uma solução com alta predictabilidade e eficiência no que concerne ao restabelecimento de ausências dentárias. O sucesso da mesma está embasado na osseointegração desses mesmos implantes ao osso recém formado do paciente. A eficácia e longevidade desse tipo de procedimento tem sido demonstrado em estudos longitudinais desde o inicio da decada de 80. Paralelo as altas taxas de resultados positivos descritos na literatura, uma remodelação ossea marginal de aproximadamente 2mm era esperada em região perimplantar, sendo referidos a tal evento uma série de fatores. O objetivo desse artigo é, através de uma elaborada revisão de literatura, abordar os fatores relevantes ao processo de saucerização ou reabsorção ossea ao redor de implantes osseointegrados, dando enfase a técnica “one abutment, one time” que traz em si um conceito similar a propria osseointegração, como a mucointegração, onde acontece o selamento das estruturas perimplantares aos pilares intermediários os quais são utilizados e instalados em momento criteriosamente escolhido durente ou pós cirúrgico.

Development and analysis of new implementations of MAC proto-cols and mobility models in LoRa networks
Authors: Alves André Esteves Santos , Pires Luis Miguel Rego , Gonçalves Luis Carlos
Published: March 2023

The technological revolution known as Internet of Things (IoT) brings together several areas of science and technology, such as data acquisition, energy consumption, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), data analyses and processing among others. IoT gets its name from the several applications, from wearables to cars connected to the network, spanning the transportation, health, electronics, water, and electricity industries. This massive addition of LoRa devices for its own application brings the problems of a shared medium such as frame collision. Additionally, as the devices are often battery powered there is a need to analyze the battery consumption. It was found that there is a lack of tools to estimate the consumption and performance of a network. In this paper, we implement new medium access control mechanisms for LoRaSim simulator, based on CSMA/CAD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance and Detection). This addition tests the influence a different access protocol has on the LoRa network and its resilience. As part of this study the new access protocol is built on the existing simulator LoRaSim to study the difference between the access protocol currently used in LoRa, an ALOHA protocol variant, CSMA/CA (CSMA with Collision Avoidance) and CSMA/CAD with the purpose of analyzing the difference in collision between protocols and the respective energy consumption in mobility scenarios.
Cuidados técnicos e jurídicos para a elaboração do libelo acusatório nos processos disciplinares previstos na Lei Estadual Nº 16.544/2010

Published: March 2023

O militar estadual que infringe de maneira gravosa os regulamentos castrenses ao ponto de macular a imagem da Polícia Militar do Paraná poderá ser submetido a processo disciplinar de caráter expulsório regido pela Lei Estadual nº 16.544, de 14 de julho de 2010, a fim de ser verificado sobre a sua capacidade ou não de permanecer integrado nas fileiras da Corporação. Considerando que a Constituição Federal de 1988, em seu art. 5º, inciso LV, garante o exercício do contraditório e da ampla defesa aos acusados em processo administrativo, tais princípios devem ser assegurados de forma ampla e irrestrita em todas as fases do processo disciplinar referenciado. Após a devida citação do acusado no processo disciplinar, o documento a ser elaborado pela autoridade/colegiado processante é a peça acusatória, chamada de “libelo acusatório”. Este importante documento deve conter a descrição pormenorizada e individualizada da acusação administrativa que recai sobre o militar estadual. Desse modo, o libelo acusatório deve ser produzido com o máximo de cuidados técnicos e jurídicos, de modo a evitar indesejadas nulidades no processo disciplinar decorrentes de vícios insanáveis contidos na peça acusatória. O presente trabalho versa justamente sobre as cautelas necessárias para a produção do libelo acusatório, discorrendo acerca dos detalhes e precauções para a correta construção deste documento, bem como, apresenta-se as situações que ensejam na sua inépcia, buscando, assim, servir como suporte aos militares estaduais que necessitem elaborar libelos acusatórios.

Este trabalho visa contribuir para a sustentabilidade e planejamento de uma unidade de conservação marcada historicamente por interesses conflitivos e sem uma gestão técnica e profissional. A Lagoa do Peri, que já foi um Parque Municipal, e hoje é um Monumento Natural, representa uma área de conservação integral encravada dentro de uma área urbana, que contribui significativamente para a economia local através do turismo de conservação. Para tanto, o local recorre a ativos ambientais, propriedade comum da sociedade, utilizando recursos renováveis e não renováveis, que afetam a sustentabilidade e a competitividade do sistema econômico e ambiental. A análise é feita usando levantamento fundiário realizado pelo município de Florianópolis, e base cartográfica da área de estudo e do entorno, com base em imagem Quick-Bird e ortofotos de 2007, em escala 1:5.000. Nesse estudo são contemplados os seguintes temas: zonas ocupadas, estrutura viária, uso do solo, infraestrutura de uso público e mapa de legislação. Os limites da UC da Lagoa do Peri foram obtidos de base cartográfica do IPUF (Instituto de Planejamento Urbano de Florianópolis). Os dados são organizados em número de edificações e área total ocupada por estas edificações. Três áreas edificadas emergem da análise, resultando em três mosaicos ou cenários, (1) área integral, (2) área fragmentada 1 e (3) área fragmentada 2. A análise dos resultados obtidos demonstra que a proposta de MONA para a Lagoa do Peri não passa de uma tentativa de manter o que já era, desonerando o Município do dever imediato de indenizar as pessoas afetadas, vez que a indenização dependeria de um pleito individual. Por outro lado, os moradores continuam totalmente atrelados à discricionariedade do poder público, com nenhuma ou muito pouca autonomia, o que certamente será fonte de inúmeros conflitos.

Published: March 2023

One of the illustrations selected for the presentation of the nutritional recommendations of the Mediterranean diet (DM) is the food pyramid (FP). The aim of this work was to design a food pyramid illustrating the dietary pattern of an adult Moroccan population and compare it to the recommendations of the Mediterranean diet pyramid (MDP) updated in 2020 by a group of experts. The study was carried out over the period of 2018 to 2022, on 507 adults from the Rabat-Salé-Kenitra region in Morocco. Socio-demographic data, usability, and toxic habits were collected using a questionnaire. Physical activity was assessed by the Marshal questionnaire. Food intake and food diversity have been determined by food history and food variety by food frequency questionnaires. The majority of the study population was over 34 years old (59%), resides in urban areas (70%), of which women (52%), sufficiently active (57%) and without any toxic habits (99.9%). A proportion of 31% still participate in meal preparation within the household, and 48.9% have at least two meals with the family daily. The population’s energy and protein intakes are higher (p<0.001) while their dietary fiber and water intakes are lower than the recommended intakes (p<0.001). The FP constructed according to the population’s food consumption comprises, from the bottom to the top, 1) water, 2) cereals and starchy foods, 3) sugars and sweet products, 4) fruits and vegetables, 5) dairy products, 6) olive oil, and 7) pulses, dried fruits, red meat, fish, chicken, eggs, and olives. The hierarchy and frequency of the consumption of certain foods and food groups differ from the recommendations of the updated MDP, reflecting a shift from sustainable diet.
A RESPONSABILIDADE CIVIL DO ESTADO FRENTE AO ERRO JUDICIÁRIO

Published: March 2023

This study examines the civil liability of the State in the face of judicial errors, investigating the thoughts outlined by doctrine and also by jurisprudence. In this perspective, in the case of a case of judicial error, it will be up to the State, as long as the damage and the causal link are manifested, to restore the homeland order, through fair reparation to the individual who feels offended. Thus, the main objective of this study is to discuss the State's civil liability, addressing the errors generated by both judicial and jurisdictional acts. In this sense, the methodology chosen was the bibliographic review based on authors such as Mello (2013) Carvalho Filho (2017), Di Pietro (2010), and Diniz (2010). In the end, it was concluded that the State is responsible for being responsible for the illegalities practiced by public agents, so for the purpose of reimbursement, it is enough to prove the concrete injury and the link between the wrongdoing and the conduct of the public agent, competing action for the return of the State about the agent who committed the injury. That said, it ends by noting that the indemnity, in addition to having a compensatory nature, needs to have a punitive and discouraging nature, aiming at an understanding of public agents so as not to incur errors, which not only tolerate and hurt the freedom of the offended, however his probity and dignity almost insanely, aiming at no time to subject an innocent person to such a suffering and degrading state of life.
Tecnología y Presupuesto Participativo:

Published: March 2023

Este trabajo de investigación analiza la importancia del uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) en los procesos de Presupuesto Participativo (PP) para promover formas de participación directa de los ciudadanos en la definición de prioridades en la inversión pública en América Latina. La metodología utilizada fue la investigación documental de tipo descriptiva, seguida de una discusión sobre los posibles usos de las TIC en América Latina y sus desafíos en la implementación. Los resultados arrojan que las TIC brindan oportunidades para incrementar la participación ciudadana y mejorar la confianza en las instituciones públicas, mediante una mejora en los procesos de seguimiento. Sin embargo, las TIC pueden acentuar las desigualdades en la participación ciudadana, y los procesos de debate y deliberación virtuales no siempre fomentan un debate participativo.
Pandemia y Nuevas Derechas:
Authors: Polizzi Mariana
Published: March 2023

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo principal analizar y problematizar el ascenso de un liderazgo femenino de extrema derecha: en este caso, Giorgia Meloni, al comando de su partido Fratelli D’Italia (FDI, “Hermanos De Italia”) durante el período 2020-2022. Nos focalizamos en estos años por dos razones centrales: 1) la irrupción del covid19 en la península itálica, siendo la nación más afectada de Europa a mediados del 2020, desencadenó un gran cimbronazo sociopolítico, económico, y sanitario; 2) justamente, ese escenario de conflictividad ha impulsado la popularidad de esta política y periodista romana como nunca antes. La motivación general es poder vincular su trayectoria política, su condición de “mujer y madre que trabaja” (como ella misma se define) y su plataforma política (post-fascista), con la volátil coyuntura del país (la cual refleja una clara expansión de la ultraderecha) y así presentar una explicación de su espectacular ascenso electoral en el Bel Paese.

El artículo pone el foco en el surgimiento de la acción colectiva del campesinado santiagueño durante la década del ochenta, específicamente en la localidad de Los Juríes. Por una parte, se describe el proceso organizativo  y sus vínculos con actores eclesiales, técnicos, gremiales y estatales en un derrotero de politización del sector que se materializó en la conformación de la Comisión Central de Campesinos. Por otro, se busca problematizar la producción de discursos sobre la identidad campesina evidenciado las representaciones que diversos actores –de manera positiva o negativa- comienzan a cimentar discursivamente en la construcción de un sujeto colectivo que posteriormente decantará en la formación del MOCASE (Movimiento Campesino de Santiago del Estero) y de otras organizaciones y comunidades indígenas en los últimos años. A partir del análisis de un corpus documental compuesto por recortes periodísticos, informes técnicos, actas de reuniones, conjuntamente con entrevistas a informantes claves, contribuimos a problematizar las formas de construcción de la identidad política campesina en momentos embrionarios de lucha y resistencia tras los conflictos territoriales.

Authors: Fabani Ornela
Published: March 2023

En las últimas décadas ha tenido lugar una multiplicación de los actores que operan en la arena internacional. Entre estos últimos, los actores subnacionales, léase: las regiones, provincias y municipios, han asumido un papel cada vez más activo. El objetivo del trabajo se funda en analizar las características que presenta la paradiplomacia de las provincias de Santa Fe y Córdoba con EAU y Kuwait, así como también el impacto de la misma sobre relación entre estos países árabes y el gobierno nacional, en el periodo que se extiende entre 2015 y 2022. Al respecto, se concluye que los vínculos de amistad que los dos actores subnacionales argentinos han sabido construir con sus contrapartes del Golfo Arábigo tienen un impacto positivo, potenciando la relación entre estos últimos y el gobierno nacional. En lo que respecta al diseño metodológico, el trabajo se sustenta en un diseño cualitativo, fundado en la recolección y el análisis de datos tanto en fuentes secundarias como primarias. En tanto, entre estas últimas, se destacan entrevistas no estructuradas a informantes clave que se desempeñan como funcionarios de las provincias de Santa Fe y Córdoba, así como también de la Cancillería argentina.

Authors: Suárez Mariano Ezequiel , Corvalán Facundo Gustavo
Published: March 2023

En el presente trabajo se propone un análisis del discurso político de Cristina Fernández de Kirchner y Mauricio Macri en torno a la cuestión de la deuda externa. Específicamente, el proceso que abarca desde el desendeudamiento externo iniciado por Néstor Kirchner y la vuelta al Fondo Monetario Internacional en el gobierno de la Alianza Cambiemos, la deuda externa se ha transformado en un elemento discursivo que expone la complejidad de los posicionamientos de los actores. En este sentido, se concibe a las presentaciones discursivas de la deuda externa como un mecanismo de construcción de sentidos comunes, representaciones y pertenencias históricas, así como también de concepciones en torno a la política exterior y al rol de Argentina en el escenario internacional.

Published: March 2023

El presente trabajo pretende dar cuenta de cómo los condicionantes externos inciden de manera decisiva en el diseño de la Política Exterior de Argentina hacia la Federación de Rusia. En el siglo XXI las relaciones con Rusia dieron un salto de calidad hasta alcanzar una Asociación Estratégica Integral. Esta vinculación ha sido una constante en las distintas administraciones.El gobierno de Alberto Fernández debió vincularse con Rusia en un contexto externo complejo. Los años 2020-2021 estuvieron marcados por la Pandemia de Covid-19, mientras que el 2022 por el inicio de la guerra ruso-ucraniana. En función de ello, este trabajo pretende dar cuenta de cómo fue la vinculación con Rusia en estos tres años y cómo se alteró en intensidad según los acontecimientos externos.

In the electrolysis of seawater as a source of hydrogen, two options exist for the performance of the electrolysis process. The first option is the total desalination of the sea water and then add alkalis for the process of electrolysis to produce hydrogen in the cathode and oxygen in the anode. The disadvantages of this approach are the high cost of desalination and the water treatment to make it alkaline. The main advantage is the ability to use developed technology for the direct electrolysis of fresh water. The second option is to design an electrolyze system capable of utilizing sea water for direct electrolysis at a low power density and electrolyze only a small portion of the water in contact with the electrodes. The advantage of this method is the lower capital required for the system and natural elimination of the waste brine which is only slightly enriched with salts. Also using this technic is possible to produce important amounts of chlorine as a sub-product and also magnesium and sodium as hydroxides that have many uses in the chemical industry. In this research we produced hydrogen via electrolysis from simply natural resources, seawater and solar energy. In order to carry out this experiment we used water from Bahia of Kino Sonora, a place no too far from the University of Sonora, only 100 kilometers away, and a 100-W solar panel that generate DC electricity using directly sunlight that is an abundant resource in the coasts of Sonora. In this work we have been able to produce about 2 liters of hydrogen per hour and nearly 1.2 liters of chlorine per hour with a normal direct radiation of 900 W/m2. This technique could be the solution to the fuels problematic of the ethnicities that inhabit the shores of Sonora and other states of México.

The bodies of water provide ecosystem services such as: temperature regulation, hydric recharge, bird, terrestrial and aquatic species habitat, food, oxygen, landscape, tourism, among others. The objective of this work was to generate information on indicators of biological contamination in the Atlangatepec dam, which help to establish the Control and Management Plan (PCyM) for the Ramsar Site. The strategy consisted of determining physicochemical variables in situ and conducting a phytoplankton diversity study. The average temperature of the water body was 17.8 ° C, pH 8.23, dissolved oxygen 4.58 ppm and conductivity 215 µS.cm. These conditions favor the growth of cyanobacteria, which predominated in the body of water. The species Pseudanabaena galeata was the dominant species, followed by Plankthorix agardhii. 11 Chlorophytas, 15 Cyanobacteria, 1 Charophyta and 3 Bacillariophytas were identified. The cyanobacterial species identified have the potential to produce blooms and microtoxins, which negatively impact the food chains of the ecosystem. The impact of anthropogenic activities puts the dam's sustainable and sustained development at risk.

Objectives. Study the differences of the film thickness of six cements to determine that they comply with the standards.

Methodology. Experimental, cross-sectional, in vitro study. Film thickness test of resinous cements using the standards of ISO 9917-1.

30 samples were made dividing them into 6 groups of 5 samples each. Group 1: Prime Dent, Group 2, iCem, Group 3: Relyx Ultimate, Group 4: MaxCem, Group 5: TheraCem, Group 6: BisCem. The thickness of two glass slab placed one on top of the other was measured, the resin cement was prepared by placing it (0.05 ± 0.005 ml) at the center of the glass slab with a 3 ml syringe, it was measured again. The weight was removed after 10 minutes, the thickness of both glass slad was measured. Film thickness was calculated by taking the difference between the thickness of the glass slab with and without the sample between them.

Results: An ANOVA test was performed to obtain the statistical value; it was obtained that p=0.000, therefore there are statistically significant differences between the cements.

Contribution. The application of dental cements for indirect restorations is used daily, so knowing the film thickness provides security when choosing the ideal material.

Published: March 2023

Kombucha is a probiotic drink of Asian origin, whose symbiotic relationship between acetic bacteria and yeasts provides a wide range of compounds with antioxidant and antimicrobial power (against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria); thus, improving digestion and preventing chronic diseases. Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) of the Ericaceae family is one of the most studied and used fruits due to its high antioxidant benefits. In turn, orange blossom honey is one of several products rich in flavonoids obtained from the Citrus sinensis plant. Due to the high amount of phenolic compounds in these products, a homemade kombucha based on blueberry and orange blossom honey was developed to increase the beneficial properties of this probiotic, generating a value-added product. First, the tea fungus (SCOBY) was obtained in a caffeine-free medium of green tea and white sugar, through a process called "First fermentation". Then we performed a "Second fermentation" by adding the fruit and honey, giving it flavor and increasing its antioxidant properties. Finally, we tested it pleasant taste by means of a sensory evaluation of 30 people, which was statistically analyzed.

The South-Central Region of Chihuahua is a highly agricultural and livestock area. It has 41,900 hectares of non-timber forest resource (oregano) (Alarcón, 2005), which is processed and generates waste up to 1,470.17 tons per season cycle, which do not take advantage of its economic and nutritional benefit. The niche of opportunity was born here where it was found that the oregano residue contains 16.44% of protein per 100 g according to studies at the Center for Research in Food and Development of Delicias (CIAD), attached to CONACYT, and in the laboratory of the company Alimentos Concentrados de Delicias. The proportion that is generated from this waste is very rich, it is considered as an area of commercialization opportunity. In this region there are 257 potential clients according to SAGARPA (2017) dedicated to raising cattle. As quoted by Almeida G, (DIGAL 2018) specified that 8363 livestock production units participate directly in the dairy activity with a daily volume of 3,000,000 liters of milk. Of the five dairy basins in the state, Delicias is the most important, therefore, there is the opportunity to establish the NUTRIOREG company as a producer of concentrated feed supplement for livestock.
