Lessons Learned About Gamification in Software Engineering Education
Authors: Marín Beatriz
Published: December 2020

Software engineering courses traditionally mix theoretical aspects with practical ones that are later used in the development of projects. Teaching software engineering courses is not easy because in many cases the students lack motivation to exercise the topics prior to project development. This chapter presents the application of gamification on some topics of a software engineering course to engage students and increase their motivation. The authors argue that with the proper motivation, the students can better exercise the topics and obtain stronger knowledge. The authors have created five games to help in the learning process of the software engineering course. The games are related to risk management, BPMN modeling, Scrum process, design and inspection of class diagrams, and COSMIC functional size measurement. Gamification has been applied during four years in the software engineering course, resulting in an improved learning experience for the students. Finally, lessons learned are presented and discussed.

Published: December 2020

Water use behaviors, awareness on the water conservation and purification process have an influence on the water consumption of people. Hence, this study assimilates measured water consumption and the data collected in a questionnaire survey to understand the relationship between self-reported water use behaviors and measured water consumption. The study was conducted in four coastal cities in southern Sri Lanka and about 70% of households had alternative water resources. First, self-reported water use behaviors were used to cluster the sample into two clusters. Households reported with highly positive water use behaviors (HPB) were consuming less water than those who with moderately positive water use behaviors (MPB). Positive water use behaviors of HPB group seems to be supported with their higher awareness on the need for water conservation and water treatment process and associated costs. Therefore, this study suggests that increasing awareness on the need of water conservation, underuse of water, water efficient appliances and increasing the awareness on the water treatment and distribution process and cost will help in shifting consumers towards positive water use behaviors.

Published: December 2020

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume) is indigenous to Sri Lanka which holds a virtual monopoly of cinnamon in the world accounting for around 90% of the global trade. Because of its industrial applications and medicinal properties, there is a growing demand for true cinnamon in the world. Major drawbacks of the cinnamon industry in Sri Lanka are low productivity and quality, poor value addition, lack of market information, smallholdings, poor accessibility, and inadequate and unsatisfactory extension services. This study identified the stakeholders and services in Sri Lankan cinnamon industry and proposed a model for the local cinnamon value chain by analyzing existing literature, established knowledge and qualitative discussions. Further, a questionnaire-based survey was carried out to ascertain the gaps in the local value chain of cinnamon and to determine the gaps that can be effectively addressed through ICT-based interventions. Survey results showed that nearly 75% of farmers obtained a yield less than 650 kg ha-1 year-1; 15% of the farmers received a yield less than 300 kg ha-1 year-1. According to the survey, 91% of the farmers used mobile phones to receive relevant information to the industry while 32% and 22% had used smartphones and Wi-Fi facility, respectively. Further, study revealed that cinnamon growers face difficulties in obtaining quality planting material, modern agro-technology, technical know-how and advisory service in cultivation and processing, business development services, experienced peelers and market behavior when required. Around 90% of the stakeholders expressed that they are interested to receive relevant information related to weather, agro-technology, support services, market information, etc. on a mobile-based application. Therefore, an information flow model; key functions and their behaviors for the proposed mobile-based information system are presented in this research. Hence, ICT enabled mobile platform shows great promise in improving the yield, quality, and profitability of cinnamon industry in Sri Lanka.
Adaptation in pregnant women: a descriptive phenomenological study using Giorgi’s approach
Authors: Koh Minseon , Kim Jisoon , Ahn Sukhee
Published: December 2020

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the lived experience and meaning of pregnant women’s adaptation.Methods: Ten pregnant women living in Daejeon and Sejong agreed to participate in this study. The data were collected through telephone in-depth interviews regarding ‘pregnant women’s adaptation. The qualitative data were analyzed using Giorgi’s method of descriptive phenomenology.Results: Five core situation components were extracted from the raw data, along with 12 themes and 33 focal meanings. The five core situations were 1) the situation when the woman first recognized the pregnancy, 2) the situation of change related with pregnancy, 3) the situation related to the upcoming birth, 4) postpartum-related situations, and 5) the situation related to parenting. The 12 themes were as follows: “anxiety, pressure, and embarrassment due to pregnancy,” “efforts to adapt to physical changes,” “efforts to adapt to the psychological difficulties of pregnancy,” “efforts to adapt to the financial burden and role changes caused by pregnancy,” “connecting with the fetus,” “adapting to a new marital relationship centering on the baby,” “the frustration of childbirth,” “fear of childbirth,” “postpartum care, need help with lactation planning,” “parenting beyond one’s imagination,” “dad’s willingness to participate in parenting,” and “career disconnect and consideration of workplace needs.”Conclusion: We conclude that pregnant women experience adaptation in physical, psychological, relational, and social aspects. The thematic clusters identified in the results might be used to develop a nursing intervention to promote adaptation to pregnancy among pregnant women.

Published: December 2020

In this study, the design, materials, process, assembly, and reliability of a six-side molded panel-level chip-scale package (PLCSP) are presented. Emphasis is placed on the fabrication of the redistribution layers (RDLs) of the PLCSP on a large temporary panel with multiple device wafers. Because all the printed circuited board (PCB) panels are in rectangular shape, some of the device wafers are diced into two or more pieces so the panel is fully utilized. Thus, it is very high throughput. Because all the processes/equipment are PCB processes/equipment (not semiconductor process/equipment), it is a very low-cost process. After the fabrication of RDLs, the wafers from the PCB panel were debonded. It is followed by solder ball mounting and fabricating the six-side molded PLCSP from the original device wafers with RDLs. The drop test and the results including failure analysis of the PLCSP are presented. Thermal cycling of the six-side molded PLCSP PCB assembly is performed by a nonlinear temperature- and time-dependent finite-element simulation.

Published: December 2020

We consider the self-affine tiles with collinear digit set defined as follows. Let

A,B\in\mathbb{Z}

satisfy

|A|\leq B\geq 2

and

M\in\mathbb{Z}^{2\times2}

be an integral matrix with characteristic polynomial

x^2+Ax+B

. Moreover, let

\mathcal D=\{0,v,2v,\ldots,(B-1)v\}

for some

v\in\mathbb{Z}^2

such that

v,M v

are linearly independent. We are interested in the topological properties of the self-affine tile

\mathcal T

defined by

M\mathcal T=\bigcup_{d\in\mathcal{D}}(\mathcal T+d)

. Lau and Leung proved that

\mathcal T

is homeomorphic to a closed disk if and only if

2|A|\leq B+2

. In particular,

\mathcal T

has no cut point. We prove here that

\mathcal T

has a cut point if and only if

2|A|\geq B+5

. For

2|A|-B\in \{3,4\}

, the interior of

\mathcal T

is disconnected and the closure of each connected component of the interior of

\mathcal T

is homeomorphic to a closed disk.
Change in olfactory function after septoplasty. A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Grabosky A. , Mackers P. , Langdon C. , Alobid I.
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND: Septoplasty is one of the most frequently performed surgeries. However, there remains a question as to the effect of such intervention on the sense of smell. This study aims to examine the available evidence regarding the effect of septoplasty on the sense of smell. METHODS: A database search was performed using PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar and The Cochrane Library databases from January 1990 to February 2020. Search terms included smell, olfaction, odor, septum, septoplasty, and septorhinoplasty. A meta-analysis was performed with 12 studies that provided sufficient data on change in olfaction. RESULTS: 14 studies met the inclusion criteria, and 2 additional studies were included manually; comprising a total of 996 patients and 25 controls. Significant improvement in olfactory test scores was observed in all tests. Pre- and postoperative differences in means were 0.63 for BSIT, 0.80 for CCCRC test, 1.16 for odor threshold, 1.43 for odor discrimination, and 1.18 for odor identification. CONCLUSIONS: Septoplasty seems to improve olfactory function. However, the outcome of this intervention is discrete and not equal for all patients, so further randomized trials are needed to confirm current findings.
Legionella pneumophila in Patients with Pneumonia at a Referral Hospital, New Delhi, India, 2015–2020
Authors: Sreenath K. , Dey A. B. , Kabra S. K. , Thakur Bhaskar , Guleria Randeep , Chaudhry Rama
Published: December 2020

Legionnaires’ disease (LD) is an established cause of pneumonia, and the disease remains largely underdiagnosed. Even though LD has been reported from many parts of the world, only sporadic cases have been reported in India. During February 2015–January 2020, we enrolled 597 patients with radiographically confirmed pneumonia and tested respiratory secretions for Legionella spp. by using real-time PCR, and culture. A commercial urinary antigen test (UAT) was also used to detect the Legionella pneumophila (Lp) serogroup 1 antigen in urine. An LD case was defined as a patient with pneumonia and positive results for Legionella spp. infections determined by real-time PCR (from any respiratory specimen) or culture or UAT. Demographic data, risk factors, clinical, radiological, and outcome data of Lp-positive and Lp-negative patients were compared using logistic regression. Over the study period, 14 (2.3%) patients were positive for Legionella spp. infections by real-time PCR and UAT; eight (57%) were admitted to the intensive care unit, and four (28.6%) in-hospital deaths occurred. Bivariate analysis showed that renal disease, neurological conditions, confusion, leukocytosis, and requirement of oxygen support were more common in the Lp-positive group than in the Lp-negative group. However, multivariate analysis failed to confirm most of these differences; renal disease was the only independent variable remaining significant. All test methods have intrinsic limitations in identifying Legionella; therefore, more than one testing method should be used. Application of molecular assays including real-time PCR has great value because of its high sensitivity, specificity, and rapid diagnostic potency. Increased awareness and improved diagnostic testing could facilitate early detection of cases, pathogen-directed therapy, and improved outcomes for patients.

Authors: McCarty James M. , Cassie David , Bedell Lisa , Lock Michael D. , Bennett Sean
Published: December 2020

In a phase 4, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicenter study, to assess the safety and immunogenicity of live, attenuated cholera vaccine PXVX0200 in children aged 2–5 years in the United States, 172 volunteers were randomized 6:1 to receive a single dose of 1 × 109 colony forming units (CFU) of PXVX0200 or placebo. Immunogenicity endpoints included serum vibriocidal antibody (SVA) levels on days 1, 11, and 29. Safety was assessed by comparing solicited signs and symptoms on days 1–8, unsolicited adverse events through day 29, and serious adverse events (SAEs) through day 181. The SVA seroconversion rates 10 days after immunization were 98.1% and 0% in vaccine and placebo recipients, respectively, and the vaccine seroconversion rate was non-inferior to the 93.5% rate seen in the bridging population of adults aged 18–45 years from a lot consistency study. Most reactogenicity was mild to moderate, and there were no study-related SAEs. PXVX0200 appears safe and immunogenic in children aged 2–5 years.
Officially Confirmed COVID-19 and Unreported COVID-19–Like Illness Death Counts: An Assessment of Reporting Discrepancy in Bangladesh
Authors: Ahamad Mazbahul G. , Tanin Fahian , Talukder Byomkesh , Ahmed Monir U.
Published: December 2020

Reporting discrepancies between officially confirmed COVID-19 death counts and unreported COVID-19–like illness (CLI) death counts have been evident across the world, including Bangladesh. Publicly available data were used to explore the differences between confirmed COVID-19 death counts and deaths with possible COVID-19 symptoms between March 2, 2020 and August 22, 2020. Unreported CLI death counts totaled more than half of the confirmed COVID-19 death counts during the study period. However, the reporting authority did not consider CLI deaths, which might produce incomplete and unreliable COVID-19 data and respective mortality rates. All deaths with possible COVID-19 symptoms need to be included in provisional death counts to better estimate the COVID-19 mortality rate and to develop data-driven COVID-19 response strategies. An urgent initiative is needed to prepare a comprehensive guideline for reporting COVID-19 deaths.
Asymptotic stationarity and regularity for nonsmooth optimization problems
Authors: Mehlitz Patrick
Published: December 2020

Based on the tools of limiting variational analysis, we derive a sequential
necessary optimality condition for nonsmooth mathematical programs which holds
without any additional assumptions. In order to ensure that stationary points
in this new sense are already Mordukhovich-stationary, the presence of a
constraint qualification which we call AM-regularity is necessary. We
investigate the relationship between AM-regularity and other constraint
qualifications from nonsmooth optimization like metric (sub-)regularity of the
underlying feasibility mapping. Our findings are applied to optimization
problems with geometric and, particularly, disjunctive constraints. This way,
it is shown that AM-regularity recovers recently introduced
cone-continuity-type constraint qualifications, sometimes referred to as
AKKT-regularity, from standard nonlinear and complementarity-constrained
optimization. Finally, we discuss some consequences of AM-regularity for the
limiting variational calculus.

Are CBRT’s Monetary Policy Statements Affected by ECB and FED Statements?
Authors: KOÇAK Necmettin Alpay
Published: December 2020

This paper aims to examine whether CBRT’s monetary policy statements are affected by ECB and FED monetary policy statements. The sentiment analysis is performed to build the balance sentiment indicators (BSI) for CBRT, ECB, and FED from 2008 January to 2020 August using by their monetary policy statements. Individual and group properties of monthly BSI’s are examined by unit root tests and the Bounds cointegration tests. The short and long-run effects of ECB and

FED sentiments on CBRT’s sentiments are investigated by ARDL and UECM models. The analysis is applied over the full sample period and two sub-samples which they represent the periods before and after 2013 May. That date is an important for Turkey in terms of the effects of the Fed stimulus program as well as relations with the IMF. The results imply that the CBRT, ECB, and FED’s BSI’s have statistically significant cointegration relationship over the full sample period and the period

after 2013 June. Particularly after June 2013, the CBRT’s statements are positively related with the ECB’s and FED’s statements in the long run however CBRT’s statements are negatively affected by FED’s statements in the short-run.

Absence de recours, le veuvage dans le patriarcat
Authors: Dawoulé Kouassi Eméline
Published: December 2020

Cet article se propose d’étudier le veuvage des femmes en Afrique comme une forme de violence symbolique, sociale, domestique et sexuelle, à partir de la littérature africaine d’expression hispanophone et francophone. Il étudie plus précisément la représentation des violences contre les femmes depuis une perspective artistique, culturelle et littéraire. Il ne fait pas l’impasse sur les facteurs et les causes socioculturelles des violences faites aux femmes en Afrique. Il montre comment la littérature dialogue autour de la problématique de la violence contre les femmes veuves et du changement social, c’est-à-dire entre vulnérabilité et subversion. L’étude de ce dialogue implique l’analyse des œuvres romanesques Ekomo (2008) de l’écrivaine équato-guinéenne María Nsue Angüe et Co-épouses Et Co-veuves (2015) de la centrafricaine Adrienne Yabouza. On s’intéressera également au positionnement de ces écrivaines dans le champ littéraire africain face aux dichotomies sexistes et à la connivence qui existe entre le droit coutumier et le droit civil, à leur engagement pour d’écrire la situation des veuves en Afrique dans un système patriarcal. Les personnages victimes de violence [les femmes veuves] sont mis en exergue à travers une fictionnalisation explicite des réalités socioculturelles, politiques. Celle-ci montre comment à l’aide de procédés stylistiques et narratifs la littérature est un outil privilégié pour repousser les frontières de sexe et contribue à la visibilisation d’une situation de violence qui est occultée
Personajes femeninos, padrotes y prostitución de menores en la novela Amorosos fantasmas de Paco Ignacio Taibo II
Authors: Parra Sánchez Diego Ernesto
Published: December 2020

Amorosos fantasmas es una novela escrita por Paco Ignacio Taibo II que pertenece al género policíaco y que fue publicada en el año 1989. La sexta entrega de su saga detectivesca más representativa, la protagonizada por el investigador Héctor Belascoarán Shayne, narra la pesquisa en torno al asesinato de una joven menor de edad, llamada Virginia, después de intentar escapar de un entramado criminal, ubicado en la Ciudad de México y dedicado a la prostitución de menores, que, con la mediación de un padrote, la pretendía captar. Este trabajo demuestra que, como en toda la narrativa policíaca del autor mexicano, en la que la fórmula literaria está siempre orientada hacia la denuncia política y social, la novela destila casi a cada página desencanto y frustración ante la injusticia social y la explotación de los ciudadanos más desfavorecidos y expuestos a los excesos del corrupto sistema priísta. En este caso, la corrosiva denuncia de Taibo II focaliza sobre temas como la violencia hacia la mujer y la explotación sexual femenina en el entorno urbano a través, en primer lugar, de los personajes femeninos más relevantes de la novela: las víctimas Virginia y Laura. Y, en segundo lugar, del análisis de un arquetipo social de gran arraigo en México: el del padrote, encarnado por el personaje de Manuel. Dedicado a la captación de sexo servidoras, en muchas ocasiones menores de edad, y a la intermediación entre estas y el cliente, la novela destapa los engranajes de este lucrativo sistema de abuso y dominación. Además, al hacerlo, acierta al retratarlo como un entramado en el que, aunque el padrote juega un papel axial, existe una estructura colectiva semejante a las de una organización criminal que ampara al padrote y se beneficia de sus acciones.
Víctimas en disputa
Authors: Rodríguez Pérez Pam
Published: December 2020

El propósito de este artículo es reflexionar sobre la violencia sexual desde una aproximación crítica a la categoría víctima. Para tal fin, en primer lugar, se realiza una contextualización de las principales perspectivas que han situado el abordaje de la traumatización y la victimización, anclando directamente dicho abordaje en las situaciones de violencia de género y, más concretamente, de violencia sexual. En segundo lugar, se plantean algunas observaciones al paradigma dominante en la comprensión de la violencia sexual y las consecuencias de este marco dentro de la diversidad de procesos psicológicos, sociales y culturales implicados.
Representaciones discursivas antipatriarcales en la literatura
Authors: Moreno Amor Maravillas , Rojo Martínez José Miguel
Published: December 2020

El presente artículo se propone analizar la presencia de representaciones literarias alternativas a los cánones clásicos del patriarcado y, concretamente, busca textos donde se construya un orden matriarcal como forma subversiva de ejercicio del poder. El plano interpretativo de la mujer como protagonista/participante del relato literario es el que centra los análisis realizados, extrayendo las connotaciones arquetípicas de los personajes que articulan la historia y sus propias relaciones como evidencia de unas realidades que transmiten al lector conocimientos implícitos sobre la existencia social. Aunque la literatura genera una ficción pactada, su lectura crítica no debe realizarse al margen de las categorías sociológicas que nos permiten desentrañar al mundo. Tras revisar algunos planteamientos teóricos sobre las ideas de matriarcado, patriarcado y crítica feminista, se concretan tres obras que serían ejemplos destacados de cómo las herramientas creativas pueden servir al empoderamiento femenino y a la transformación del imaginario colectivo: Lisístrata, la comedia de Aristófanes; Cien años de soledad, la novela por excelencia de Gabriel García Márquez y El país de las mujeres, de la nicaragüense Gioconda Belli, una de las escritoras feministas en lengua española más destacadas de los últimos tiempos. Las tres obras están íntimamente conectadas y representan, a su vez, una significación del hecho femenino cercana a las teorías del feminismo de la diferencia. Este último asunto nos permite invitar al lector a retomar uno de los debates clásicos del movimiento feminista contemporáneo: renunciar al género o exaltarlo, encontrando en él, más que una construcción social violenta y opresora, una oportunidad para cambiar el mundo desde una nueva escala de valores protagonizada por la maternidad y la política de los cuidados.
Andalucía en la contemporaneidad: 1978-2008. Aproximación a las construcciones de unas identidades plásticas a través del catálogo artístico
Authors: De la Torre Amerighi Iván
Published: December 2020

El catálogo de arte, el catálogo expositivo, supone una de las principales herramientas que posibilitan la comprensión de una determinada época de modo multidimensional. Las posibilidades de recrear una historia del arte producido en Andalucía a través de los catálogos expositivos durante un periodo delimitado de su historia reciente resulta empresa factible, del mismo modo que constatar en ellos las sinergias, intereses y objetivos que animaron la voluntad por difundir y defender determinados rasgos –y no otros– como constitutivos de la idiosincrasia del arte andaluz contemporáneo durante el último cuarto del siglo XX y la primera década del XXI. A través del estudio de un número limitado de casos es posible analizar la posibilidad o imposibilidad de establecer los rasgos configurativos de un arte contemporáneo andaluz desde un punto de vista sentimental y estético.
Dotación, patrocinio e iconografía de la retablística de la colegiata del Sacro Monte en Granada (siglos XVII y XVIII)

Published: December 2020

Los retablos de la iglesia colegial de la abadía del Sacro Monte son fiel testimonio de los avatares que sufrió durante los siglos XVII y XVIII, como consecuencia de la defensa de los libros plúmbeos. En este artículo, a través de documentos inéditos, además de su iconografía, conocemos a los artistas que intervinieron en ellos, desde Miguel Cano o Pedro de Raxis, hasta Francisco de Paula Castillo y Pedro Valero. También ponderamos la ingente labor de patrocinio y mecenazgo llevada a cabo por sus abades y canónigos, entre otros, Pedro de Ávila y Francisco de Barahona en el XVII, y Vázquez de Figueroa o López de Mesa en el XVIII. A estos unimos las donaciones de particulares, fundamentales en la configuración de los altares del templo.

Mujer y arte en la Real Audiencia de Quito. Una pintura de la Virgen de la Merced en el monasterio de Las Conceptas de Cuenca (Ecuador)
Authors: Montes Sánchez Macarena , Ramírez González Sergio
Published: December 2020

El papel desempeñado por las artistas en la América colonial del siglo XVIII continúa siendo un tema de candente debate y del que falta todavía mucho por investigar. La escasez de oportunidades y los obstáculos encontrados no excluye el camino de algunas de ellas hacia el aprendizaje y posterior desarrollo de la pintura, de modo que, desde su estado laico o religioso, pudieron llegar a alcanzar cierta nombradía. El presente trabajo analiza justamente el panorama suscitado al respecto en la Real Audiencia de Quito a través de una serie de ejemplos, que derivarán en el caso concreto del lienzo de la Virgen de la Merced del Museo de Las Conceptas en Cuenca. Alrededor de la autora, las circunstancias históricas de la obra y sus características estéticas e iconográfícas girará este estudio, con visos de intentar desentrañar diferentes incógnitas.
MATERIALIDADE DOS INSTRUMENTOS DE DEFESA NA AMAZÔNIA
Authors: Brick Eduardo Siqueira , Rodrigues Bernardo Salgado , Souza Nelia
Published: December 2020

No século XXI, a Amazônia brasileira apresenta-se como uma fronteira crescentemente valorizada, com inúmeros desafios e complexidades. Assim, é imprescindível a compreensão da região sob o ponto de vista da materialização dos instrumentos de defesa, adequados às suas peculiaridades. A Estratégia Nacional de Defesa (END), de 2008, e o Livro Branco de Defesa Nacional (LBDN), de 2012, são documentos que visavam ressaltar a necessidade de modernização das Forças Armadas, de suas diretrizes estratégicas e do desenvolvimento nacional, tendo a Região Amazônica uma de suas áreas prioritárias. Entretanto, estes documentos não tratam das condições necessárias à materialização das capacidades operacionais de combate e de logística de defesa requeridas. Desta forma, o presente artigo busca problematizar a produção dessas capacidades. O trabalho divide-se em três partes e é utilizada uma metodologia bibliográfica e documental com a finalidade de avaliar se existem as condições necessárias para a criação e sustentação de instrumentos adequados para suprir as necessidades de defesa da Amazônia brasileira.

Published: December 2020

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara beban psikologis dengan kualitas hidup yang dimoderatori oleh koping religius pada caregiver wanita dengan kanker payudara. Subjek penelitian ini berjumlah 70 responden yang merupakan caregiver keluarga wanita dengan kanker payudara di Ruang Instalasi Kanker Terpadu “Tulip” RSUP Dr. Sardjito. Terdapat tiga alat ukur yang digunakan dalam penelitian diantaranya WHOQOL-BREF yang sudah diadaptasi sebelumnya ke dalam bahasa Indonesia untuk mengukur kualitas hidup, skala beban psikologis untuk mengukur beban psikologis dan skala koping religius untuk mengukur koping religius yang mana kedua skala merupakan skala yang sudah digunakan dalam penelitian sebelumnya dan dimodifikasi. Analisis data menggunakan Moderated Regression Analysis. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa beban psikologis secara signifikan memprediksi kualitas hidup (B= -0,388, p kurang dari 0,01) dengan sumbangan efektif sebesar 15,0 persen, sedangkan koping religius tidak terbukti memoderatori hubungan antara beban psikologis dan kualitas hidup (p lebih dari 0,05). Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah beban psikologis dapat mempengaruhi kualitas hidup pada caregiver wanita dengan kanker payudara. Koping religius tidak memoderatori hubungan antara beban psikologis dan kualitas hidup pada caregiver wanita dengan kanker payudara. Abstract.

Network-Centric Identification of Disease Co-Occurrences: A Systems Biology Approach
Authors: R. Sahrawat Tammanna , Talwar Devika
Published: December 2020

Complex diseases that occur by perturbations of molecular pathways and genetic factors result in pathophysiology of diseases. Network-centric systems biology approaches play an important role in understanding disease complexity. Diabetes, cardiovascular disease and depression are such complex diseases that have been reported to be comorbid in various epidemiological studies but there are no reports of the genetic and underlying factors which may be responsible for their reported co-occurrences. The present study was undertaken to investigate the molecular factors responsible for co-occurrence of diabetes, depression and cardiovascular disease using in-silico network systems biology approach. Genes common amongst these three diseases were retrieved from DisGeNET, a database of human diseases and their interactions were retrieved from STRING database. The resulting network containing 99 nodes (which represent genes) and 1252 edges (which represent various interactions between nodes) was analyzed using Cytoscape v: 3.7.2 and its various plug-ins i.e. ClusterONE, Cytohubba, ClueGO and Cluepedia. The hub genes identified in the present study namely IL1B, VEGFA, LEP, CAT, CXCL8, PLG, IL6, IL10, PTGS2, TLR4 and AKT1 were found to be enriched in various metabolic pathways and several mechanisms such as inflammation. These genes and their protein products may act as potential biomarkers for early detection of predisposition to diseases and potential therapeutic targets based on the common molecular underpinnings of co-occurrence of diabetes, depression and cardiovascular disease.

Las emociones son un elemento central para comprender de la experiencia humana. Con la intención de abonar a tal comprensión, se diseñó el presente estudio orientado al análisis de las emociones básicas relacionadas con el confinamiento por covid-19 y con el regreso a la vida cotidiana. Para lo cual se elaboró una encuesta con 21 ítems, participaron 230 personas, de los cuales el 73.2% fueron mujeres y 26.4% hombres, con edades que oscilaron entre los 22 y los 71 años, la característica central para la elección de dichos participantes fue que se encontrarán laborando antes y en los meses posteriores a la declaración de confinamiento en México. Los resultados describen la existencia de emociones de carácter negativo asociadas con la autopercepción de los participantes; especialmente el miedo como la emoción que más se manifestó (f= 117), seguido de la tristeza y el enojo. Se concluye que en relación con el principio psicológico de adición emocional existe una tendencia negativa hacia los afectos vividos.
