Authors: Temoltzi-Ávila Raúl
Published: March 2024

El problema de máxima desviación es un área de estudio que permite establecer problemas de optimización en las soluciones de ecuaciones diferenciales que admiten incertidumbre debido a la presencia de perturbaciones externas. En esta monografía se presenta una breve introducción al estudio del problema de máxima desviación con el objetivo de determinar los conjuntos del alcanzabilidad de ecuaciones diferenciales que se definen en el plano. La posibilidad de conocer los conjuntos de alcanzabilidad permite, en algunos casos, establecer un criterio de estabilidad robusta para las soluciones de las ecuaciones diferenciales. El material comprende tres capítulos. En el primer capítulo se presenta una breve introducción a las ecuaciones diferenciales que admiten discontinuidades. En este capítulo se discute el procedimiento para construir soluciones en el sentido de Filippov para tres casos que se presentan sobre una superficie de discontinuidad: movimiento de intersección transversal, movimiento deslizante atractor y movimiento deslizante repulsor. En el segundo capítulo se presenta el método del plano soporte para construir conjuntos de alcanzabilidad de una ecuación diferencial lineal de segundo orden. Los resultados que se obtienen se emplean para establecer un criterio de estabilidad robusta en una ecuación diferencial ordinaria de orden dos. En el capítulo tres se presenta el problema de máxima desviación para una ecuación diferencial lineal de segundo orden y se muestra la relación con los conjuntos de alcanzabilidad. Los resultados obtenidos se emplean para establecer un criterio de estabilidad robusta en una ecuación diferencial lineal a trozos que describe la dinámica de un sistema mecánico controlable.

Published: March 2024

The history of North Africa has been always tightly connected to events occurring in Eurasia. Human migra-tions in both directions are well-documented in written sources and archaeological records. To gain a comprehen-sive understanding of historical processes, it is essential to study the remains of individuals who inhabited this region during various time periods. A lack of cranial metric data on the Medieval population of North Africa im-pedes thorough investigation of the population history of the region. This paper presents a craniometric study of the sample from the Southern necropolis at Deraheib. This study contributes to filling the existing void in the un-derstanding of the Medieval population of North Africa. According to written sources, the site was a center of gold mining, known as the city of al-Allaki, dated to the 9th to 15th centuries AD. The city attracted a diverse population seeking economic opportunities. Besides this, Al-Allaki served as an important point on the caravan route which was utilized by merchants and pilgrims traversing the Nubian Desert on their way to Jeddah. The study analyzes cranial metrics of a total of 23 individuals (14 male and 9 female) skulls recovered from the southern necropolis Deraheib sample and employs 55 linear dimensions, following Martin's/Howells craniometric protocol as well as some additional measurements. Statistical analyses were performed using the R language packages and the Multican software. Our results revealed heterogeneity of the sample in male and female parts of the sample at the intra-group level: an observation aligning with existing archaeological and historical evidence. The limited size of the sample warns against any firm conclusions regarding affinities of the Deraheib population. Our intergroup comparison has shown that the cranial sample from the Southern Necropolis of the Deraheib site displays morphological features that are more similar to neighboring Caucasoid populations rather than equatorial groups from East Africa.

The Scapular’s Roles in Developing Shoulder Complex Function
Authors: Rijal Rijal
Published: March 2024

The scapulohumeral anatomy and biomechanics interact to provide adequate mobility, thus the scapula plays various functions in facilitating optimal shoulder complex function (Paine & Voight., 2013). To support shoulder complex function, they argued that the scapula should have a solid foundation for glenohumeral movement facilitated by periscapular muscles to synchronize shoulder movements and develop scapulothoracic joint stability. However, when scapular muscle weakness or dysfunction occurs, then normal scapular posture and mechanics may change and disturb shoulder complex function, which can lead to lower neuromuscular performance and increased risk of glenohumeral joint damage (Kibler., 1998; Paine & Voight., 2013; Voight & Thomson., 2000). Therefore, current perspective will provide a more detailed description of the scapular roles in forming stabilization and supporting complex shoulder movements.

Published: March 2024

With continuous advancements in science and technology, manipulators have been widely used in human–computer interactions and other fields. However, they are limited by their insufficient flexible interaction ability and the inability of the control algorithm to adapt to changeable task scenarios. In this study, the flexible control technology of a manipulator was investigated to overcome these shortcomings and improve the intelligent level of the manipulator. Specifically, the basic principles and related technologies were applied in developing a dynamic model and analyzing the impedance control technology. Next, the effects of different impedance parameters on the system response characteristics were analyzed. Finally, the simulation experiment was conducted. The results showed that within 15–35 s, the manipulator returned to the target trajectory and continued to complete two rotations of circular trajectory, and the position control was accurate. This study demonstrates the feasibility of rheostatic control of fuzzy impedance in improving the compliance strength of the manipulator

The pathogenicity of S. saprophyticus was studied in mice. A group of white mice were injected transurethrally using a catheter with S. saprophyticus S67 cell suspension in a concentration reached 109 CFU/ml. concomitantly, the role of its peptidoglycan in the pathogenicity was studied by injecting another group of mice with 0.3 mg/0.2 ml of partially purified S. saprophyticus S67 peptidoglycan extract. After autopsy, kidneys and urinary bladder showed several histopathological changes both in cells and peptidoglycan injected mice, included: hydropic degeneration, glomerulus shrinkage, congestion of renal vessels, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and dekeratinization in urinary bladder.

Published: March 2024

Recent accumulated evidences suggest that prolactin is an important immunomodulator and may have a role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of hyperprolactinemia in women with SLE and to evaluate its correlation with disease flares. Serum prolactin levels were measured in 62 women with SLE and 50 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. In patients and control groups prolactin levels were determined by immunoradiometric assay (IRMA). The prolactin level was found to be higher than normal rang in (40.3%) of SLE patients in active stage versus only (8.06%) of the same SLE patients but in the inactive stage and in (4%) of control group, the elevation was ranging between mild (72%), medium (20%) and high (8%). The study concludes that patients who having a flare - up had a trend to higher mean of prolactin (mild and medium) levels than inactive stage patients.
