Tips from the blog IV – averaging
Authors: Royle Stephen
Published: September 2023

I put a recent code snippet put up on the IgorExchange. It’s a simple procedure for averaging a set of 1D waves and putting the results in a new wave. The difference between this code and Average Waves.ipf (which ships with Igor) is that this function takes the average of all points in the wave and places this single value in a new wave. You can specify whether the mean or median is used for the average.

Last month I wrote those words on a slide I was preparing to show to the American Association for Corpus Linguistics, as a part of a presentation of my Digital Parisian Stage Corpus. I was proud of having a truly representative sample of theatrical texts performed in Paris between 1800 and 1815, and thus finding a difference in the use of negation constructions that was not just large but statistically significant.

I’ve written about default assumptions before: how for example people in different parts of the English-speaking world have different assumptions about what they’ll get when they order “tea” or a “burger.” In the southern United States, the subcategory of “iced tea” has become the default, while in the northern US it’s “hot tea,” and in England it’s “hot tea with milk.” But even though iced tea is the default “tea” in the South, everyone there
Lemonade Secret Drinker: sober statistics

I read this article on the BBC recently about alcohol consumption in the UK. In passing it mentions how many people in the UK are teetotal. I found the number reported – 21% – unbelievable so I checked out the source for the numbers. Sure enough, ~20% of the UK population are indeed teetotal (see plots). The breakdown by gender and age is perhaps to be expected. There are fewer teetotal men than women.

Why some people like “cisgender”
Authors: Grieve-Smith Angus
Published: September 2023

The news these days is that “cisgender” has been added to the Oxford English Dictionary. The OED is a descriptive tool, so if people are using the word, the editors should put it in. But as a transgender person, I don’t like the word and I’m not happy people are using it. Ben Zimmer had a nice writeup about the word in March.
Waiting to Happen: Publication lag times in Cell Biology Journals

My interest in publication lag times continues. Previous posts have looked at how long it takes my lab to publish our work, how often trainees publish and I also looked at very long lag times at Oncogene. I recently read a blog post on automated calculation of publication lag times for Bioinformatics journals. I thought it would be great to do this for Cell Biology journals too.

A couple of years ago, a colleague sent me this picture* to say “who put J Cell Biol on a diet?”. I joked that maybe they publish too many autophagy papers and didn’t think much more of it. Recently, Ron Vale put up this very interesting piece on bioRxiv discussing what it takes to publish a paper in the field of cell biology these days. In the main, he questions whether this is now out of reach of many trainees in our labs.

I’m a parent. It doesn’t make me better or worse than anyone else, it’s just a category that reflects some facts about me: I conceived a new human with my wife, we are raising and caring for that human, and we expect to have a relationship with him for the rest of our lives. Some people don’t take parenthood seriously, so it doesn’t impact their lives very much, but their kids suffer.
Prejudice and intelligibility

Last month I wrote about the fact that intelligibility – the ability of native speakers of one language or dialect to understand a closely related one – is not constant or automatic. A major factor in intelligibility is familiarity: when I was a kid, for example, I had a hard time understanding the Beatles until I got used to them.

I thought I’d share a procedure for rotating a 2D set of coordinates about the origin. Why would you want do this? Well, we’ve been looking at cell migration in 2D – tracking nuclear position over time. Cells migrate at random and I previously blogged about ways to visualise these tracks more clearly. Part of this earlier procedure was to set the start of each track at (0,0). This gives a random hairball of tracks moving away from the origin.

Maxillary mesiodens in late medieval age archaeological skeletal remains from Rudina, Croatia
Authors: Banjšak Luka , Viroubal Vlasta , Katanec Tomislav , Miličević Ante
Published: September 2023

Introduction: The occurrence of mesiodens is somewhat rare, but amongpatients with any kind of supernumerary teeth, it is rather common. From an anthropological point of view, it is interesting to confirm the development of mesiodens in various historical ages. Case report analyses a mesiodens and the surrounding skeletal remains dating from the late medieval ages (13th -16th centuries) which confirms the incidence of the mesiodens and presents the conclusion that historically, mesiodens, as a form of supernumerary teeth has been present throughout history. Conclusion finding of a mesiodens in an archaeological context proves that the occurrence of this type of accessory teeth has been present for at least half a millennium.
Visual impairment and falls as risk factors of orthopaedic fractures
Authors: Mugabe Herbert , Terzić-Šupić Zorica , Bumbaširević Marko
Published: September 2023

The musculoskeletal system represents one of the most affected systems in general traumatology. Fractures of the locomotor system and their effects are among the most severe and demanding injuries for the community in general and for the health system in particular. There are different factors that have been established as risk factors for fractures, with falls representing the main cause. Given the fact that vision has a key role in preserving gait and balance, various conditions of visual impairments have been related to an increase in fall-related injuries, and fractures of the locomotor system, especially in older population. Indeed, with an increased life expectancy, there is a rise in the number of visually impaired individuals and subsequently a rise in the number of falls and fractures. In this study, a review of the incidence and risk factors of musculoskeletal system fractures and falls was conducted, with the incidence of visual impairments in the general population. Another review of different types of visual impairments was done that included potential risk factors for fractures, falls and soft tissue injuries of the hand and if there has been any association between these specific visual impairments and the risk of falling, getting a fracture or a soft tissue injury of the hand.
Glide path preparation with hand K-files and rotary PathFiles in simulated curved root canals: An in vitro study
Authors: Stošić Miljan , Geler Katarina , Petrović Violeta , Jovanović-Medojević Milica
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Preparation of glide path is an important precondition for the safe use of rotary NiTi instruments during endodontic treatment. Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the duration of glide path preparation as well as all the changes in canal morphology and canal diameter after the use of hand K-files and NiTi rotary PathFiles. Material and methods: This research was performed on a total of twenty Endo Training Blocks (Dentsply, Maillefer, Switzerland). The glide path was prepared using hand stainless steel K-files ISO #10-15-20 (Dentsply, Sirona, USA) (n = 10) and NiTi rotary PathFiles ISO #13, #16 and #19 (Dentsply, Sirona, Switzerland) (n = 10). The time required to establish the glide path was measured with an iPhone stopwatch (Apple Inc. Cupertino, California). The images of the apical segment of canals before and after glide path preparation were taken under the stereomicroscope (Boeco BSZ-405, Germany), and then images were analyzed and processed with Scopeimage 9.0 (Teleskop, Austria). Statistical analysis was performed with the Mann-Whitney test at the level of significance 5% (a = 0.05). Results: A statistically significant difference was observed in terms of the time required for glide path preparation. The mean total time for glide path preparation was significantly longer with K-files (382 ± 62 s) than with PathFile (200 ± 11 s) (p < 0.05). A statistically significant difference in terms of changing the morphology of the apical part of the canal (p > 0.05) was not observed. The difference in the diameter of the root canal was at the limit of statistical significance (p ≈ 0.05). Conclusion: Instrumentation with NiTi rotary PathFiles reduces the time required for glide path preparation. Preparing endodontic space for rotary instrumentation with hand K-Files and rotary PathFiles leads to similar changes in the morphology of the apical segment. A slightly larger diameter of the root canal was measured after preparation with the hand K-files.
The kynurenine pathway of tryptophan catabolism and schizophrenia
Authors: Marković Miloš , Nikolić Tatjana , Totić-Poznanović Sanja
Published: September 2023

The development of new therapeutic options focused on the recovery of patients with schizophrenia is primarily conditioned by elucidating the biological underpinnings of the disorder. The kynurenine pathway of tryptophan catabolism is the focus of psychiatric research since its catabolites have neuroactive properties, and one of the most important is the effect of kynurenic acid as the only endogenous NMDA receptor antagonist. According to the kynurenine hypothesis, there is an imbalance of excitatory and neuroprotective metabolites of the kynurenine pathway in patients with schizophrenia. It is postulated that excessive production of kynurenic acid leads to excessive blockade of NMDA glutamate and alpha-7 nicotinic receptors, acting as a trigger for the development of psychotic symptoms and neurocognitive deficits. This paper aims to review the kynurenine hypothesis of schizophrenia, important findings of studies exploring metabolites of the kynurenine pathway in patients with schizophrenia, and findings from the research on the potential impact of proinflammatory cytokines on the kynurenine pathway.
Mental health of student population during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Mirilović Nikola , Janković Janko
Published: September 2023

In 2019, the world public was confronted with the disease Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) for the first time, when the new Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was identified in the Chinese city of Wuhan. The pandemic of this viral infection has led to the biggest public health crisis at the global level in the last hundred years, while a special challenge has been set for professionals dealing with mental health protection. Students were also particularly affected due to the movement restriction measures caused by the closure of higher education institutions. The disease COVID-19 is a systemic disease with pronounced problems of a respiratory nature, and SARS-CoV-2 is a virus from the family of RNA viruses. The incubation period of the viral infection is between two and fourteen days, and transmission by aerosol, respiratory droplets, and direct contact is very easy and fast. The most common symptom of this disease is fever. The COVID-19 disease pandemic had a negative effect on the mental health of the student population around the world, and female students rated their mental health worse than male students. The main problems with mental health can be classified above all the increased levels of depression, anxiety, and stress in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Depression is more common in students who care more about their health, in female students, and those with a lower socio-economic status. Also, persons who were, at some point, in contact with infected persons, without knowing about their illness, have more serious depressive reactions compared to those who haven't had such contact. Regarding anxiety reactions, students at the beginning of their studies experience anxiety reactions more often and those reactions are more intense compared to students in the last years of studies. The student population also showed high levels of stress reactions, which occur more often in female students, as well as in those students who come from urban areas. However, mental health problems can be overcome if the student population is provided with some form of social support or peer or expert consultation, depending on how much their mental health is impaired. The aim of this paper is to present the mental health of the student population around the world based on a review of the literature on the COVID-19 disease pandemic and to offer recommendations to reduce and prevent such reactions.
Volumetric analysis of lymphocyte lipid droplets in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with hyperlipidemia
Authors: Živković Aleksa , Ćirić Darko , Martinović Tamara , Jovanović Sofija , Kravić-Stevović Tamara
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by inadequate glucose homeostasis. A common occurrence of T2DM is diabetic dyslipidemia. Given lipid droplets' role in intracellular lipid storage, these structures lie at the center of lipid and energy homeostasis. Lipolysosomes are cell organelles that have the structure of lipid droplets surrounded by a membrane. Lipophagy is a selective form of autophagy that enables lipid droplet degradation, thus representing an important mechanism in the regulation of lipid droplet homeostasis. Aim: The aim of our research was fractional volume analysis of lipid droplets, autophagic vesicles containing lipid droplets, and lipolysosomes in the lymphocytes of patients with T2DM and hyperlipidemia. Material and methods: Mononuclear cells were isolated from the peripheral blood of T2DM patients with hyperlipidemia and from healthy individuals. Cells were fixed in glutaraldehyde and postfixed in 1% osmium tetroxide. After contrasting with 4.7% uranyl acetate, the samples were embedded in epoxy resins and cut by an ultramicrotome. The ultrathin sections were then contrasted with uranyl acetate and lead citrate and analyzed using transmission electron microscopy. The fractional volume of lipid droplets, autophagic vesicles containing lipid droplets, and lipolysosomes was determined using the double "coherent point" grid with dots distributed at two different densities. Results: While there was no difference in the fractional volumes of lipid droplets and autophagic vesicles containing lipid droplets, the fractional volume of lipolysosomes was significantly higher in the lymphocytes of T2DM patients with hyperlipidemia compared to healthy individuals (p < 0.05). Conclusion: A higher fractional volume of lipolysosomes revealed in the lymphocytes of T2DM patients with hyperlipidemia can be due to an increase in the activity of these organelles, as well as an overall increase in cellular lipid metabolism in these patients.

Authors: Stantić-Romić Dijana , Požar Hajnalka , Šumonja Sanja
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Diabetes is a significant public health problem. In Serbia, 12% of the population suffers dominantly from type 2 diabetes, the development of which is associated with an inadequate diet and lack of physical activity. The treatment of patients involves the application of diet therapy in combination with medical treatment. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the differences in anthropometric and biochemical parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes after the counseling work. Respondents and methods: The research was conducted as a retrospective evaluation study through the analysis of medical records of users of the Nutrition Counseling Service of the Public Health Institute of Subotica. The sample included 34 patients with type 2 diabetes, mostly women (71%). Results: The average body weight of the patients was 87.6 kg, waist circumference 105 cm, the average glycemima was 7.14 mmol/l, and the blood pressure level was 140/84 mmHg. After counseling, at the first control measurement 2-4 months after the first examination, the patients lost an average of 3 kg, the waist circumference decreased by an average of 2 cm, and the percentage of fat in the body decreased by 1.6%. There was a decrease in glycemia by 0.6 mmol/l and systolic blood pressure by 5 mmHg. Although the second control examination was attended by a much smaller number of patients, based on the results, it was observed that the average values of the observed parameters were significantly lower compared to the initial values (body mass decreased by 1 kg, waist circumference by 4 cm, glycemia level by an additional 1 mmol/l). Conclusion: Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that after the counseling work, there was a significant improvement in the nutritional status and glycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Published: September 2023

Anxiety represents the behavioral, emotional and cognitive response of the person on experience if potential or future danger. Pathological anxiety occurs when this reaction is unreasonable, that is it is not proportionate to the stress or challenge, and it leads to intense fear, nervousness and impaired functioning. Anxiety can occur in any period of life. Adolescence is a turbulent developmental period that increases the risk of young people to develop numerous mental disorders. Numerous predictors determinate the development of anxiety in adolescents. Prevention of anxiety disorders in adolescents is a public health priority, therefore it is necessary to identify risk factors and implement activities to suppress these factors.
The beginnings of language teaching at the Military Academy in Belgrade
Authors: Andrijašević Ivan , Krainčanić Vesna , Buljugić Marijana
Published: September 2023

The subject of this research is the beginnings of language teaching at the Military Academy (Artillery School) in Belgrade, in the period from its establishment in 1850 to a few years after the end of World War I, i.e. until 1924, when reliable data and archival material date back, based mainly on the Memorial of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Military Academy. The importance of foreign language knowledge was manifold. In addition to a significant role in teaching professional subjects, given that the teaching process was, to a great extent, carried out according to translation of foreign textbooks, foreign languages also played a significant role in the development of the Serbian military doctrine, as well as the fact that there was a great influence of neighboring countries in the educational field of the military training. Also, cadets who were sent for education abroad were obliged to know the language of the country they were sent to. For enrollment, first in the Artillery School, and then in the Lower and Higher School of the Military Academy, the knowledge of French or German was mandatory. French was the first to be introduced into the curriculum, followed by German, while Russian, Italian and Turkish were introduced later. Throughout certain periods, Serbian was also taught as a subject. Due to insufficient data, as well as a lack of archival materials, the period after World War I has not been sufficiently studied in the military education historiography, which is why this paper is limited to the period from the establishment of the Military Academy to a few years after the end of World War I and the formation of a new state, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.
The judgments passed by the Military Court NOV in the southeastern Srem in 1944
Authors: Aleksić Snežana
Published: September 2023

The paper publishes archival material - verdicts of the Military Court of the People's Liberation Army, which operated in the area of southeastern Srem in 1944. The verdicts were handed down in criminal proceedings against eighteen Serbs, natives of Srem, who were accused of collaborating with the "Chetnik movement of Draža Mihailović". The documents are stored in the Historical Archive of Belgrade. They have not been originally published until now, and therefore, their content brings new light to contemporary historiography, which dispels the prevailing opinion that Eastern Srem was strongly partisan. At the same time, the content of the original archival material opens up a dilemma in the field of legal science: were the decisions of the Military Court justifed and fair? The objective of the paper is to deepen knowledge from the history of the development of military justice, as well as knowledge regarding specific events during 1944 in the part of the occupied Kingdom of Yugoslavia - southeastern Srem

Radikoj kaj vortoj en esperanto
Authors: Jansen Wim
Published: September 2023

Tiu ĉi studo traktas la parolpartan sistemon de esperanto sur la niveloj de la semantike difinitaj radikoj kaj de iliaj sintaksaj vortigoj. Dum pli ol jarcento tiu ĉi temo, konata kiel la demando pri la (sen)kategorieco de la radikoj, estas kontroversa inter gramatikistoj. Aplikante la teorian kadron de la Funkcia Diskurs-Gramatiko, la aŭtoro refutas la Akademian pozicion favore al tri-membra kategoria radikaro (verba, substantiva kaj adjektiva-adverba) kaj kontraŭproponas bazan sistemon de senkategoriaj aŭ flekseblaj radikoj kun subsistemo de radikoj kun verba-neverba disspecialiĝo. La evoluon de la lingvo markas kreskanta uzado de radikoj en senperaj verbigoj, kies vortsignifoj konsiderinde kaj neantaŭdireble preteras sian funkcian pravigon. Radiko montranta tiun fenomenon estas priskribebla kiel origine fleksebla radiko, splitiĝinta en du heterosemajn, el kiuj unu specialiĝis por verba aplikado. Kvankam la hipotezata evoluado de fleksebla aŭ senkategoria al miksita parolparta sistemo perturbas la senperan rilaton inter la semantiko kaj la sintakso de esperanto kaj malfavore influas la lernfacilecon de la lingvo, la verba-neverba dikotomeco kiel la unua paŝo al nefleksebliĝo respegulas demonstreble naturan procezon inter etnaj lingvoj.

Michel Duc Goninaz kaj la reviziado de la Plena Ilustrita Vortaro de Esperanto
Authors: Roux Claude
Published: September 2023

En 1990 la Plenum-komitato (PK) de la Sennacieca Asocio Tutmonda (SAT) petis Michel-on Duc Goninaz entrepreni revizion de la Plena Ilustrita Vortaro de Esperanto (PIV). Michel unue certiĝis, ke Gaston Waringhien, la ĉefa kunaŭtoro de PIV 1970, aprobas la principon de ĉi tiu revizio sub lia direktado (1991) kaj rilatis kun li por starigi laborplanon. Post la morto de Waringhien, fine de la jaro 1991, Georges Lagrange (1928-1992; kultura centro Kvinpetalo, Bureso, apud Montmoriljono, Francio) konfidis al Michel la ekzempleron de PIV apartenintan al Waringhien, grandvaloran pro ĝiaj marĝenaj korektoj kaj notoj. La unuaj pli ol 350 modifoj de PIV estis do tiuj proponitaj de Waringhien mem. Poste Michel malkovris aliajn jam ekzistantajn korektoproponojn i.a. en la arkivo de Rolando Levreaud (1919-1992; Saint-André-de-Cubzac, apud Bordozo), ellaborita dum la kompilado de la Suplemento de PIV (1987), kaj en la multaj notoj verkitaj de André Caubel (1904-1977; Marsejlo) dum la jaroj 1970. Sed tiuj ĉi laboraĵoj montriĝis nesufiĉaj: estis ja nepre necese krei ampleksan rondon da reviziantoj, kiu inkluzivu kaj ĝeneralistojn de la lingvo kaj fakulojn pri kiel eble plej granda nombro de fakoj traktitaj en PIV. Pro tio Michel lanĉis pere de SAT alvokon al la Akademio de Esperanto, al la Akademio Internacia de la Sciencoj (AIS) de Sanmarino kaj al la respondeculoj de ĉiuj fakaj esperanto-asocioj, el kiuj sufiĉe multaj kunlaboris en la reviziado.
Sources of text for Esperanto corpora

Use of corpora is not a new concept in Esperanto studies. There are two readily available corpora. Tekstaro de Esperanto offers a relatively small collection of carefully selected samples of written Esperanto through the entire existence of the language. VISL by comparison is much larger and includes more samples, for the most part collected from the Internet. There are certain limitations to both: absence of spoken language samples, absence of manual linguistic annotation, and issues relating to representativeness. The corpora could be improved by harvesting multiple sources of both written and spoken language available on the Internet.
Detlev Blanke (1941-2016): Tuta vivo por interlingvistiko
Authors: Fiedler Sabine , Brosch Cyril
Published: September 2023

Interlingvistoj, esperantologoj kaj Esperanto-parolantoj ne nur de Germanujo, sed de la tuta mondo funebras pri unu el siaj plej gravaj kaj konataj fakuloj: La 20-an de Aŭgusto 2016 subite kaj neatendite mortis Detlev Blanke. Detlev Blanke naskiĝis la 30-an de Majo 1941 en Neumünster (norda Germanujo) kaj kreskis proksime al la ĉebalta urbo Wismar. Kiel abituriento en 1959 li ekstudis ĉe la universitato de Rostock kaj poste dum kvar jaroj laboris kiel mezlerneja instruisto pri la germana kaj geografio proksime al Wismar. Jam en 1957 li memstude lernis Esperanton, kies movado ja en GDR (Orienta Germanujo) rajtis reorganizi sin nur depost 1965. Sed jam en la antaŭa tempo li agitis, kiel li mem esprimis, 'duonlaŭleĝe', prelegante pri Esperanto, gvidante kursojn kaj verkante artikolojn por gazetoj. En 1964 en Rostock li organizis la unuan interlingvistikan seminarion en GDR-a universitato. En tiu tempo Blanke jam aktivis internacie en TEJO.
O duplo

Não raro encontramos na clínica casos que identificamos tratar-se de falhas precoces em que faltam representações para expressar o vazio gerado pelo não reconhecimento de um novo SER que vem ao mundo. São situações em que, geralmente, a mãe não recebe o bebê que gerou identificando-o como alguém novo, em um novo tempo. Ao contrário, esse bebê sofre as consequências de uma vida que não é sua, sentindo-se “estranho” a ele mesmo, usando medicações em excesso na busca de tentar adaptar-se no mundo. Através da vinheta, desenvolvemos o conceito de unheimlich como aquilo que efetivamente ocorreu e que, ao não poder ser simbolizado, retorna cindido, deixando um vazio no lugar da concepção afetiva do si mesmo.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo fazer uma revisão literária acerca do tema do humor em psicanálise, buscando compreender de que forma este se transforma em recurso narrativo. Assim sendo, serão trazidos alguns recortes de sessões de psicanálise para ilustração e debate da temática. Dessa forma, este artigo busca tensionar como o uso do humor pode se tornar potencial facilitador do acesso a conteúdos difíceis/traumáticos em análise.
Ecos do (no) silêncio
Authors: Casagrande Leticia
Published: September 2023

Este trabalho contempla 9 anos de atendimento realizados com paciente portador de Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica. Em virtude do cenário degenerativo da doença, a fala foi impedida por tubos de traqueostomia, tornando imperativo a adequação dos modelos tradicionais de comunicação em análise. A palavra falada não pôde ser a matéria-prima da escuta e a modalidade de comunicaçãose deu através do piscar dos olhos como sinalizador das letras responsáveis pela construção das palavras. O texto aborda a sensibilidade artesanal do treino de empatia e intuição para traduzir o sofrimento e transformá-lo em narrativa. Através do potencial de transformação que a psicanálise oferece, o foco se deu no desafio de alcançar o paciente em sua singularidade, ajudando-o a ressignificar o sentido vital, bem como elaborar o luto em vida da própria morte. Angústias, incertezas e desassossegos foram norteadores da capacidade de calibrar desejos possíveis frente à dolorosa e implacável realidade da doença.

Induction of Osteogenesis After BMP-2 Injection in Rabbit Shoulders: A Novel Strategy for Managing Glenoid Bone Defect Associated with Anterior Shoulder Instability
Authors: Kim Sae Hoon , Kang Dong Mo , Chung Jin-Young , Choi Jung Hoon , Kim Sae Hoon , Oh Sang Yun , Jang Young Hoon
Published: September 2023

Background: Bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2) has been shown to promote bone formation. The purpose of this research was to determine if an injectable form of BMP-2 could induce bone formation in anteroinferior glenoid bone defects, which is a critical factor of anterior shoulder instability. The purpose of this study was to investigate bone formation in rabbit shoulders following BMP-2 injection into the anterior capsulolabral complex. We hypothesized that the amount of new bone would be greater in rabbit shoulders injected with BMP-2 than in those injected with normal saline. Methods: An experimental study was conducted on 40 shoulders of 20 mature rabbits. Twenty right shoulders were allocated to four groups according to injection dose (5 µg or 10 µg) and follow-up period after injection (4 or 8 weeks). Twenty left shoulders were injected with normal saline as controls. At 4 or 8 weeks after injection, all rabbits were sacrificed, and bone volumes, densities, and locations of bone formation were evaluated using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Histologic analysis was performed on all 40 shoulders. Results: Shoulders injected with BMP-2 showed significantly more bone formation than control shoulders in all treated groups (58.6 ± 60.5 mm3 vs. 25.6 ± 32.6 mm3, p = 0.001). Moreover, bone formation increased with dose and follow-up. Locations of bone formation were the lesser tuberosity, greater tuberosity, and anterior capsulolabral complex. Histologic analysis confirmed the micro-CT-detected bone formation by revealing the presence of activated osteocytes, abundant osteoblastic rimming, and woven bone matrix. Conclusion: The study confirms that BMP-2 injection into the anterior capsulolabral complex of rabbit shoulders promotes new bone formation in adjacent soft tissue areas. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.
¿La IA usada en biología de la conservación es una buena estrategia de justicia ambiental?
Authors: Moyano Cristian
Published: September 2023

Conservation biology has embraced the development and application of artificial intelligence to optimize its work. The efficiency with which machine learning processes data helps to identify wild species, repair anthropogenic impacts, and intervene in ecosystems, offering supposedly good results for conservation. Thus, artificial intelligence can here be proposed as an ally of environmental justice. However, I will dispute this thesis, arguing that since conservation biology does not start from absolute parameters and environmental justice is not free from moral plurality, then artificial intelligence could reproduce and increase epistemological and ethical biases.

La biología de la conservación se ha sumado al uso de la inteligencia artificial para optimizar su trabajo. La eficiencia con que esta procesa los datos ayuda a identificar especies salvajes, reparar los impactos antropogénicos e intervenir en ecosistemas, ofreciendo resultados supuestamente buenos para la conservación. Así, la inteligencia artificial puede proponerse como una aliada de la justicia ambiental. Pero discutiré esta tesis, argumentando que como la biología de la conservación no parte de parámetros absolutos y la justicia ambiental no está exenta de una pluralidad moral, entonces la inteligencia artificial puede reproducir y aumentar los sesgos epistemológicos y éticos.
Ética discursiva e inteligencia artificial. ¿Favorece la inteligencia artificial la razón pública?
Authors: Conill Sancho Jesús
Published: September 2023

Este artículo muestra que la ética del discurso en versión de la ética cordis contribuye a mantener una actitud crítica de discernimiento ante las tecnologías de la inteligencia artificial. Propone distinguir entre opinión pública y razón pública, para destacar el sentido crítico del uso público de la razón en la línea de Kant, Rawls, Habermas y Cortina. Y afrontar las dificultades para ejercer la razón pública en la era digital: impacto de la inteligencia artificial en la comunicación, hiperconectitividad, datificación, “panóptico digital” y la espiral del silencio, que ponen en peligro el uso de la razón y la intimidad personal
SOLVING THE MULTI-MANNED ASSEMBLY LINE BALANCING PROBLEM WITH DEPENDENT TASK TIMES BY MEANS OF EMPIRICALLY ADJUSTED GREEDY HEURISTICS (EAGH)
Authors: Andreu Casas Enric , GARCIA VILLORIA ALBERTO , PASTOR MORENO RAFAEL
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT:
Multi-manned assembly lines are widely used in manufacturing industries that process a high-volume of large-sized workpieces. At each workstation there are multiple workers simultaneously performing different tasks with the possibility of interfering with each other, leading to an increase in the processing task times. This paper studies this type of problem: the multi-manned assembly line balancing problem with dependent task times (MALBP-DTT). As discussed in recent literature, the HEUR_PART procedure presents the best behaviour for solving MALBP-DTT. In this paper, HEUR_PART is improved by using the Empirically Adjusted Greedy Heuristics (EAGH) procedure along with a new procedure (named “EAGH-CKTL”) that is presented in this paper and is based on using EAGH combined with the cocktail of heuristics concept. EAGH and EAGH-CKTL are used to design new priority rules for solving MALBP-DTT through the HEUR_PART steps. In particular, EAGH-CKTL is applied for building new priority rules that have good performance as part of a cocktail of heuristics. The computational experiments show the efficiency of using both EAGH and EAGH-CKTL in the process of designing efficient priority rules: one of the priority rules designed with EAGH presents better performance than any other rule proposed in the literature for HEUR_PART, while another rule designed with EAGH-CKTL evidences a remarkable improvement in the HEUR_PART results when added to its original cocktail of heuristics.

Keywords: combinatorial optimisation; assembly line balancing; multi-manned workstations; dependent task times; EAGH; cocktail of heuristics.
