La necesidad de los estudios semióticos en el marketing.
Authors: Andraus Quintero Cesar Enrique , Lazo Pastó Orlando Rafael , Limonta Más Rauny Javier
Published: October 2024

En la sociedad actual es incomprensible que el marketing trate de eludir los estudios semióticos, teniendo en cuenta que este fenómeno, se encuentra inmerso en significados culturales que le aportan sentido a su existencia y a la relación con objetos y contextos que le rodean. Dentro de las estrategias del marketing, se encuentra el desarrollo de producto; proceso que incluye: generación de ideas; test de concepto y producto; desarrollo del producto; marketing de prueba y comercialización. Esta fase es esencial para desarrollar estudios de significación; sin embargo, las empresas generalmente omiten la aplicación de estudios de significados por sus costos, o porque la praxis mercadológica desconoce el aporte semiótico en su ámbito. En tal sentido, el objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la importancia de la implementación de estudios semióticos en el marketing, específicamente en el desarrollo de productos. Para esto se desarrolló un estudio cualitativo basado en la revisión teórica de la literatura consultada sobre la temática. Los principales resultados obtenidos muestran que en efecto a nivel de la teoría hay un reconocimiento del aporte de los estudios semióticos en el campo del marketing, pero que esto se tiene muy poco en cuenta al momento de la práctica.
Logical Constants and Unrestricted Quantification
Authors: Halbach Volker
Published: October 2024

Variants of the so-called permutation criterion have been used for distinguishing between logical and non-logical operations or expressions. Roughly, an operation is defined as logical if, and only if, it is invariant under arbitrary permutations on every domain. Thus a logical operation behaves on all objects in the same way. An expression is logical if, and only if, the operation expressed by it is logical. I consider a variant of the permutation criterion that eliminates domains: An operation is permutation-invariant if, and only if, it is invariant under arbitrary permutations of the universe. An expression is logical if, and only if, it expresses an operation that is permutation-invariant in this sense. This domain-free definition of the invariance criterion matches definitions of logical consequence without domains where first-order quantifiers are taken to range over all (first-order) objects in all interpretations. Without domains some problems of the invariance criterion disappear. In particular, an operation can behave on all objects of any domain in the same way, while still behaving very differently in each domain. On the criterion without domains, a logical operation always behaves on all objects in the same way, not only on all objects of any given domain.

A formação continuada de educadores para/em Clubes de Ciências: um panorama das pesquisas brasileiras
Authors: Rodrigues Fernanda , Tomio Daniela
Published: October 2024

Os Clubes de Ciências são contextos de Educação Não Formal, investigados por diferentes perspectivas, entretanto, pouco se discute sobre o desenvolvimento profissional dos educadores que atuam nesse contexto. Partindo desse pressuposto, elaboramos uma pesquisa de revisão integrativa com o objetivo de caracterizar a formação docente em Clubes de Ciências comunicados na produção científica brasileira, principalmente se tratando dos percursos de formação continuada. Dos 32 trabalhos identificados, 27 estão relacionados à formação inicial e apenas 5 investigam a formação continuada de educadores que atuam em Clubes de Ciências. Contudo, os percursos formativos ficam pouco evidentes ou não são relatados. Constatamos assim, uma lacuna de conhecimentos acerca da formação continuada docente nesse contexto de educação não formal. Com relação à contribuição que esses contextos podem oferecer aos educadores, verificamos que não há incentivo para que suas práticas sejam divulgadas na sociedade e o percurso de desenvolvimento profissional não encoraja os educadores a participarem de espaços públicos. Sugerimos uma ampliação e aprofundamento das discussões acerca do desenvolvimento profissional nesses contextos, uma vez que os Clubes de Ciências possuem suas especificidades em educação científica e, por conseguinte, à profissionalização de seus educadores.

Annual survival of patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease on supportive hemodialysis and its correlates
Authors: Bodessova Saule , Sultanova Bagdat , Bekenova Nazira , Mursalova Zhanar
Published: October 2024

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the relationship of residual renal function, markers of inflammation and protein–energy expenditure with annual survival in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Materials and Methods: The work was a prospective cohort study and included 299 patient data. Residual kidney function was determined by urine volume of more than 250 ml per day to assess the effect. According to this criterion, the patients were divided into two groups. The degree of chronic inflammation was assessed by the content of acute phase proteins (ferritin and C-reactive protein) in the blood serum. The serum albumin level was chosen as a marker of protein-energy expenditure. The survival rate of patients with residual renal function was higher as compared to patients without it (p<0.001).
Results: In the current study, the absence of residual kidney function increased the risk of mortality from all causes in patients who had recently undergone hemodialysis by almost 30 times during the first year of substitution therapy. C-reactive protein was also associated with poorer survival in these patients (HR=1.01; 95% CI: 1-1.02), while albumin was inversely associated with mortality (HR=0.92; 95% CI: 0.87-0.98).
Conclusions: Thus, residual renal function and higher serum albumin levels by the time maintenance hemodialysis begins are independent predictors of the best survival during the first year of replacement therapy. The presence of residual kidney function of less than 250 ml and a higher level of C-reactive protein correlated with an increased risk of mortality in these patients.

Published: October 2024

Aim: To assess, analyze and present early postoperative results of transcatheter aortic valve implantation in patients with aortic stenosis.
Materials and Methods: During the period from 2017 to 2023, we examined in total 77 patients with severe aortic stenosis and high risk of surgery who were eligible for the TAVI procedure at the “Heart Institute Ministry of Health of Ukraine”.
Results: Before implantation, the mean and maximum aortic valve gradients were 53.7±19.1 mm Hg and 90.1±28.8 mm Hg, respectively. The mean and maximum aortic valve gradients after implantation were 9.67±3.18 and 18.7±6.41, respectively (p<0.001). The calculated left ventricular ejection fraction was 57.5±8.22% before surgery and 58.8±7.91% after surgery (p=0.412). After the procedure, moderate (2) degree of paravalvular aortic regurgitation was observed in 2 patients and light degree – in 21 patients. Before surgery, mitral regurgitation of 2-3 degrees was observed in 15 patients, and only in two patients after TAVI The survival rate of our patients was 96.4% after 180 days of supervision. In-hospital and 30-day mortality was 1.8%, while 180-day mortality was 3.6%. No deterioration was observed in patients with moderate aortic regurgitation during echocardiographic studies performed at 1, 3 and 6 months after TAVI.
Conclusions: TAVI is rapidly emerging as a life-saving alternative for patients who are inoperable or at high risk of surgery due to comorbidities. The selection of patients for TAVI is important to optimize procedural and long-term outcomes. It is important for cardiologists in our country to refer patients with severe aortic stenosis after diagnosis to centers that perform TAVI.

Authors: Kratz Brigitta , Espa Ilaria
Published: October 2024

Hydrogen as an energy carrier, but also as a key feedstock to produce renewable fuels (e.g. synthetic methane and methanol) and platform chemicals (e.g. ammonia) is set to play a major role in decarbonization efforts worldwide. The European Union is one of the main drivers of the green hydrogen economy. Once more, Switzerland is operating in a regulatory environment in which developments are already taking place and might determine its position as a rule-taker, as shown in the first part of the article. Switzerland can no longer postpone dealing with the opportunities and risks entailed by these developments. Defining a clear strategy is essential to plan the political and regulatory steps which are necessary to preserve its options for championing the green hydrogen market. The first steps have already been taken, in particular with the soon-to-come-into-force umbrella decree (“Mantelerlass”), as presented in the second part of the article. Further steps will have to follow.

World Health Organization (WHO) mencatat penyakit kanker serviks menempati peringkat teratas di antara berbagai jenis kanker penyebab kematian pada perempuan di dunia. Di Indonesia, setiap tahun terdeteksi lebih dari 15.000 kasus kanker serviks. “Sekitar 8.000 kasus di antaranya berakhir dengan kematian”. Indonesia merupakan negara dengan jumlah pasien kanker serviks yang tertinggi di dunia. Pada tahun 2012 kejadiannya hampir 27% di antara penyakit kanker serviks di Indonesia. Namun demikian lebih dari 70% pasien yang datang memeriksakan diri dalam stadium lanjut, sehingga banyak menyebabkan kematian karena terlambat ditemukan dan diobati (Indriani, 2015). Pada tahun 2014 ada 6.838 wanita yang melakukan pemeriksaan Pap Smear, dimana diketahui 4.170 0rang dengan hasil normal dan 2668 orang terdiagnosa pre Kanker serviks (Dzulkarnaen, 2014). Tujuan Penelitian Untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan perilaku wanita usia subur mau melakukan pemeriksaan IVA di Puskesmas Kecamatan Pondok Gede Bekasi periode Mei 2017.

Published: October 2024

Word-representable graphs were originally introduced by Kitaev and Pyatkin, motivated by work of Kitaev and Seif in algebra. Since their introduction, however, there has been a great deal of work in understanding their graph theoretical properties. In this paper, we introduce tools from partially ordered sets, Ramsey theory as well as probabilistic methods to study them. Through these, we settle a number of open problems in the field, regarding both the existence and length of word-representations for various classes of graphs.
The Role of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) in the Pathogenesis of Sarcopenia: A Meta-Analysis of Molecular Mechanisms
Authors: Susanto Edi , Singgih Kusuma
Published: October 2024

Background: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a neurotrophin crucial for neuronal survival and differentiation, has emerged as a potential key player in sarcopenia development. This meta-analysis aimed to systematically evaluate the molecular mechanisms by which BDNF contributes to sarcopenia.
Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases was conducted for studies published between 2018 and 2024 investigating the relationship between BDNF and sarcopenia at a molecular level. Studies were included if they met the following criteria: (1) examined BDNF signaling pathways in skeletal muscle; (2) assessed the impact of BDNF on muscle protein synthesis/degradation; (3) explored the role of BDNF in mitochondrial function and oxidative stress in muscle; and (4) investigated the influence of BDNF on muscle fiber type and neuromuscular junction integrity.
Results: A total of 28 studies (n = 1,245 participants) met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis revealed that lower BDNF levels were significantly associated with: reduced muscle protein synthesis (SMD = -0.85, 95% CI: -1.12 to -0.58, p < 0.001); increased muscle protein degradation (SMD = 0.62, 95% CI: 0.35 to 0.89, p < 0.001); impaired mitochondrial function (SMD = -0.71, 95% CI: -0.98 to -0.44, p < 0.001); increased oxidative stress (SMD = 0.55, 95% CI: 0.28 to 0.82, p < 0.001); a shift towards fast-twitch muscle fibers (SMD = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.21 to 0.75, p = 0.001); and compromised neuromuscular junction integrity (SMD = -0.92, 95% CI: -1.21 to -0.63, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: This meta-analysis provides compelling evidence that BDNF plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of sarcopenia through its multifaceted effects on muscle protein metabolism, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, fiber type composition, and neuromuscular junction integrity.

Introdução: Um recurso ergogênico que tem popularidade é a máscara de treinamento em elevação (MTE).
Objetivo: Comparar o desempenho no treinamento de força (TF) de membros superiores e a percepção de esforço (PE), com e sem a utilização da MTE.
Métodos: Estudo quasi-experimental para o qual foram convidados 15 homens treinados com média de idade 23,18±2,04 anos, em amostragem por conveniência. Os participantes realizaram duas sessões de testes para familiarização com os testes e para determinar as cargas de 10-RM para os exercícios selecionados. Foram duas sessões de treinamento nas condições com ou sem a MTE, com intervalo de 72-96 horas. Dentro de cada sessão, os participantes executaram três séries com intervalos de dois minutos. Na sessão com máscara, esta foi regulada a uma privação de O2 similar a altitude de 3.000 metros.
Resultados: Para o número total de repetições não ocorreram diferenças significativas (p=0,360). Na PE, foram observadas diferenças significativas (p<0,05)entre as condições para todos os exercícios e séries; para a percepção de esforço pós sessão de treinamento foram observadas diferenças significativas entre as condições para o supino horizontal na série inicial; no voador peitoral nas séries finais e no tríceps.
Conclusão: O estudo focalizando membros superiores foi original e embora não tenha sido observada diferença significativa no desempenho do TF, foi observado um incremento na PE com a utilização da MTE. Os resultados foram discutidos.

Published: October 2024

The durable and reliable work of piston compressors and pumps used in the oil and gas industry has great importance for practice. Investigation of complex problems with respect to mechanical and thermodynamic phenomena in compressors and pumps gives the opportunity to solve the problems of increasing the durability of oil and gas exploitation and transportation. Increasing the efficiency and durability of the compressor-pump stations directly depends on the correct calculations and designing of the different elements and mechanical parameters of piston machines. The problem of determining the forces affecting the crank-piston mechanisms of the piston compressors arises during the study of the friction process in the working parts, as well as the study of the oscillating movement of the moving crankshaft of this compressor. The indicated forces periodically depend on the angle, time, and rotation of the crankshaft of this compressor, as a result of which they create forces at various nodes of the piston mechanism and the shaft of the compressor machine. These specified conditions can create dangerous stresses that can cause the compressor connecting rod and crankshaft to break. In this work, in terms of its special characteristics, the forces affecting the piston compressor's lever-slider mechanism are determined by taking into account the main factors accompanying the working process. The results of the investigation can be useful for the design and exploitation of compressor stations used in the oil and gas industry.
