Authors: Naik Aditi
Published: October 2021

Abstract: Our need for higher performance and improved efficiency has led to the invention of 4G from 1G. This tendency to never settle has now brought us to a new generation of mobile communication - 5G. It is expected to provide more than just a faster network. Reduced latency, enormous netwrok capacity, greater reliability and overall improved user experience. This has come into focus with the possibility that the unused spectrum - (300 MHz to 30 GHz) can also be brought into use in the telecommunication inductry. As we know, everything comes with its own demerits and in this review paper, we shall discuss the health effects that microwave radiation has on living organisms with the antennas and connected devices being in close proximity to users and other organisms. Thereafter, we shall discuss the challenges and opportunities of the same. Keywords: next generation network, millimeter waves, health impact, tissue heating, radiation
Transformational Leadership Practice in the Context of the Church in Nigeria: Literature Review
Authors: Haruna Joel Bulus
Published: October 2021

Abstract: Over the last twenty years, researchers and practitioners have become increasingly interested in the transactionaltransformational leadership paradigm. However, only a few studies tested the validity of this approach to leadership concerning church growth. Thus, Momoh (2015) researched on transformational leadership as a tool for church development. The Results revealed that there is a significant positive correlation between transformational leadership style and church growth. They were found to be influential to the growth of the church and the gospel. Momoh also observed that the foundation of any leadership determines the height such leadership can attain. He further elaborates that many problems that are confronting leadership especially the church leaders today is on wrong foundation. To him, leadership position can be attainable through craftiness, professionalism and administration capacity but once a leader lacks spiritual charisma, character and vision, he will only end up messing things up. Implications of these results for theory and practice are discussed.
A Literature Review on Pedestrian’s Intent Detection
Authors: Gunale Kishanprasad
Published: October 2021

Abstract: The ability to predict the intent of the human beings walking on the street or crossing the road is one of the important safety features for intelligent cars. It has drawn the attention of automotive industry in the past few years. Estimating whether the pedestrian is going to cross the road or not is a very challenging task because there are multiple factors involved such as the speed at which the pedestrian is walking, whether he/she is walking alone or walking with someone, are they aware of the vehicle or not, etc. In this paper, we explore the different factors that affects the pedestrian’s intent while walking or crossing the road. We also explore how different techniques are used to predict the intent of the pedestrian considering those factors. This study will be helpful for designing the system which predicts pedestrian’s intent as good as the human ability to interpret the behaviour of the pedestrian. Keywords: Predict, Intent, Pedestrian, Behaviour, Interpret

On the basis of two hydrophysical surveys (August 28 and November 14, 2019), the spatial distribution was investigated of temperature, salinity, total suspended matter, dissolved organic matter features, and total suspended matter dynamic activity in the waters of the Kruglaya Bay. The horizontal and vertical distributions of these characteristics were considered. The hydrophysical parameters were measured from a small vessel at anchored stations using Kondor Sounding Complex. The analysis of obtained distributions showed that less saline and more turbid waters were observed in the apex of the bay. The highest content of suspended particles and dissolved organic matter were detected in this water area. An almost uniform stratification of hydrological parameters and total suspended matter concentration were observed in the vertical distribution over the entire water area of the bay. In the vertical dissolved organic matter distribution, an increase under the water surface layer of ~ 1–5 m was observed both in August and in November. This layer was more pronounced in November. The total suspended matter content in the surface water layer in August 2019 was on average twice as high as in November of the same year, and the dissolved organic matter concentration was lower.

The paper studies eutrophication of the waters of the Yalta water area caused by the Vodopadnaya River runoff and provides assessment of its influence on the characteristics of the phytoplankton primary production limitation by nutrients. The work was performed during 2020.Water samples for hydrochemical analyses were taken in fresh water of the Vodopadnaya River lower reaches and in seawater of its estuarine area. Based on the materials of observations in 2020, the paper characterizes the content of mineral nitrogen compounds (in the form of nitrites, nitrates, ammonium, and total content) and mineral phosphorus in the estuarine area of the Vodopadnaya River, which flows into the Black Sea within the city of Yalta. The influence of atmospheric precipitation on the change in the concentrations of nutrients in the waters of the mouth reach and estuarine front was determined. It was established that nutrient input with the river runoff can shift the nitrogen limitation of the phytoplankton primary production to the phosphorus one. It was shown that river runoff is one of the key factors affecting the degree of eutrophication of sea waters within the recreational zone of Yalta. This should be taken into account when developing strategies for optimizing the urban environment and recreational and tourist infrastructure of the region.
Theoretical Study of 8-hydroxyquinoline Derivatives as Potential Antennas in Lanthanide complexes: Photophysical Properties and Elucidation of Energy Transfer Pathways.
Authors: Santoyo-Flores Juan Julian , Paez-Hernandez Dayan
Published: October 2021

A series of 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives were characterized and tested
as potential antennas in a set of designed lanthanide complexes. The
molecular structure and ligand localized nature of the excited states
were studied in the framework of the multiconfigurational methods
CASSCF/NEVPT2 combined with TDDFT- based approaches, which allows
applying a fragmentation scheme in the analysis of the most probable
sensitization pathway via antenna effect. The photophysical properties
of all the complexes and antennas were carefully analyzed, and the most
probable energy transfer pathways were elucidated. Rate constants for
photophysical processes involved in the mechanism were calculated,
showing a significant contribution of the vibronic coupling in all cases
and the predominant intersystem-crossing between S1 and T1 states was
demonstrated from the analysis of the nature of the wave function of
those states. The energy transfer process described herein demonstrates
the possibility of Eu(III) and Nd(III) sensitization by the studied
ligands. The proposed methodology gives a complete picture of the
antenna excited state dynamics.

Authors: Yin Shuhui , Zhu Qiong , Liu Jianyong , Zhou Panwang
Published: October 2021

1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethene (FOX-7) is a novel energetic material with
high performance and low sensitivity. In order to deeply understand the
reaction mechanism in the initiation “hot spots” of FOX-7 and reveal
the growth mechanism of these initiation “hot spots” in the explosion
process, the detailed mechanisms of bimolecular reaction of NO2 and
FOX-7, as well as the subsequent reactions have been investigated by the
quantum chemical calculations. The mechanism of NO2 and FOX-7
bimolecular reaction and the catalytic effect of NO2 were revealed by
three key dissociation paths. It is demonstrated that the NO2 molecule
plays an important role in promoting the decomposition of the FOX-7
molecule, and the main exothermic pathways were the reactions between
oxidizing intermediates (NO, NO2), and reducing intermediates (CO, NH3).

Boosting Own Immunity and Connecting Social Justice against Coronaphobia
Authors: Alim Abdul
Published: October 2021

Today we have to bear in mind the victims of all those who we have lost, who have fallen ill, and whose lives have been impacted by COVID-19, the Coronavirus. The materialistic world has shown us the potential for greed and selfishness that exists amongst those whose only interest is their self-interest. Corona Virus also has shown us the beauty and courage of those souls who stand up in the front lines against it. It has also shown us who are we and how inequity with the ugliest forms still exists in our society? Other than corporate privileged people who have lost their jobs have no means for rent, food, clothing, or healthcare and every justice or welfare system as proof themselves of how poor life does not matter less than their privileged counterparts. During the corona era, we observed that money dictates decisions, ethics, and morals are put to the side and with the direction of the winds of the privileged blow.
Purely Consequentialist Legal Activism in the Brazilian Criminal Constitutional Jurisdiction based on Case Studies in the Jurisprudence of the Supreme Federal Court
Authors: Quintiere Víctor Minervino
Published: October 2021

The present study intended, based on the use of the methodology related to legal consequentialism, the field of consequentialist argumentation and possible risks of its use by judges, in particular, those who perform constitutional jurisdiction and efficient speeches and the concept of purely consequentialist activism, assess whether, and to what extent, it would be possible to divide the concept of purely consequentialist activism into degrees according to the legal nature of the decision handed down within the scope of the Supreme Federal Court, more specifically, with regard to the (non) provisionality of the decision. Throughout the work it was possible to divide purely consequentialist activism into two species. The first of these, called first degree consequentialist activism, characterized by monocratic decisions or judgments that respect the limits of merit and, consequently, the principle of collegiality, and; second-degree consequentialist activism, characterized by monocratic decisions that, not meeting the limits of precautionary decisions, end up disrespecting the principle of collegiality

Bioethics and Biolaw in the Vaccine against COVID 19 in Brazil
Authors: Silveira Eliana Aló
Published: October 2021

The pandemic that was caused by COVID 19 made the world rethink ethical principles, morals, and justice, but always side by side with science. Never has bioethics been thought of so much, as a science that aims to provide the ethical content so that the human being is treated with dignity in the face of scientific techniques that concern life. Bio law as a branch of legal science reveals itself as an indispensable branch to the legal system, to regulate and reconcile biotechnological advances with the principle of human dignity, founded on democracy and the defense of fundamental rights. In the international sphere, the right to life is foreseen in art. 4 of the 1969 American Convention on Human Rights, a document that was ratified by Brazil and comes from the regional system. In the Brazilian legal system, the provision is in article 1, clause III, of the Federal Constitution of 1988, which established human dignity as the foundation of the Democratic State of Law, also regulating, in article 5, the right to life. Starting from these guidelines that the human being should not be considered a "thing", or an instrument, the thought, even if philosophical, can lead to important conclusions in the field of scientific experimentation, especially with what has been happening in relation to the vaccines for COVID-19, that even if approved by a committee and following international protocols, one cannot guarantee with them the absolute protection of human dignity, principles of bioethics and fundamental human values. And, because of these discussions, the courts are urged to manifest themselves about the refusals of workers to be vaccinated.

Arterial hypertension + past stroke – a case report
Authors: Łukasiewicz Maria , Swarowska-Skuza Marta
Published: October 2021

Arterial hypertension, as a very widespread chronic disease, and thus differing in both pathomechanism and course in patients, requires a significant individualization of pharmacotherapy. One such special group is the elderly. Both the low-renin pathomechanism of arterial hypertension and its phenotype (isolated systolic hypertension) imply the choice of a specific pharmacotherapy. Additionally, in this group, side effects should be observed much more vigilantly, while target blood pressure values should be treated more liberally. An example of antihypertensive therapy in a patient belonging to the group described is presented in the following case.
Are levodopa preparationas with benserazide and carbidopa clinically equivalent?
Authors: Bogucki Andrzej
Published: October 2021

Parkinson’s disease is the only neurodegenerative disease that can be effectively treated symptomatically. Treatment of motor symptoms is based primarily on the use of drugs that increase the activity of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system and compensate for dopamine deficiency. Levodopa remains the gold standard of dopaminergic therapy. It is the most effective and best tolerated anti-parkinsonian drug, it causes the fewest side effects, also in the elderly patients. Oral preparations of levodopa additionally contain one of the aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase inhibitors: benserazide or carbidopa. Inhibitors have a beneficial effect on the bioavailability of levodopa in the central nervous system, its clinical efficacy and tolerability. In practice, according to common opinion, the preparations of levodopa with carbidopa and levodopa with benserazide are clinically equivalent and can be used interchangeably. The case of a 69-year-old patient treated for 6 years for Parkinson’s disease is presented. The patient presented motor symptoms of advanced Parkinson’s disease: wearing-off motor fluctuations and peak dose dyskinesia. The was treated with levodopa in a dose of 5 × 200 mg (preparation of levodopa with benserazide) as a monotherapy. Due to the worsening availability of the drug used so far in pharmacies, it was changed to a preparation containing levodopa and carbidopa, while maintaining the same dose of levodopa. During the next visit, the patient reported that the change of the formulation had a beneficial effect in the form of a slight but significant reduction in the incidence and severity of peak dose dyskinesia. Pharmacokinetic studies showed that the mean maximum concentration of levodopa after administration of levodopa + benserazide was significantly higher than after administration of levodopa + carbidopa. The preparation containing benserazide caused a rapid increase and then a rapid decrease of the lewodopa plasma concentration. When levodopa was combined with carbidopa, the concentration of levodopa increased and decreased slowly. The results of these pharmacokinetic studies may explain the patient’s observation of the amelioration of peak dose dyskinesia after switching from a levodopa + benserazide formulation to a levodopa + carbidopa combination.
The gastrointestinal tract and COVID-19. Observations after the year of the pandemic. Part 1. Patients with diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract
Authors: Gąsiorowska Anita
Published: October 2021

The most common clinical manifestations of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) include fever, cough, dyspnea, sore throat, muscle or bone aches, chills, and headache. Nevertheless, gastrointestinal infections have been reported, with symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and lack of appetite. Although is not clear the mechanisms responsible for the development of diarrhea in COVID-19, the current hypothesis is that the direct viral infection on the intestinal tissue and local immune response to the virus may be involved. Additionally, after gastrointestinal SARS-CoV-2 infection some patients may develop alterations in the gastrointestinal microbiota. In this review we outlined the important GI manifestations of COVID-19 and discussed the possible mechanisms and aspects relating to their diagnosis and management.

Empatía y amor compasivo en el bienestar subjetivo y resiliencia de pacientes con cáncer y sus parejas
Authors: Cruz-Vargas Daniela J. , Sánchez-Aragón Rozzana
Published: October 2021

El cáncer constituye la principal causa de muerte en el mundo, por lo que representa un grave problema de salud pública. Si bien se le considera un padecimiento crónico-degenerativo, los cambios súbitos que trae consigo afectan por igual a los pacientes y a sus parejas, aunque de un modo distinto. El impacto, la adaptación y la mejora exitosa del padecimiento depende no solo de las circunstancias asociadas a la enfermedad, sino también de diversos factores externos, los cuales, se relacionan por una parte, con las características individuales ‒específicamente aquellas que orientan las conductas a la comprensión de sentimientos, pensamientos y reacciones (empatía), así como al cuidado, valoración y respeto hacia la pareja (amor compasivo), y finalmente las relacionadas con la integración del padecimiento a sus vidas, lo que favorece una evaluación positiva del sentido de la vida (bienestar subjetivo) y el afrontamiento adaptativo (resiliencia). Partiendo de lo anterior, los objetivos de la presente investigación consistieron en identificar la manera en que la empatía y el amor compasivo de las parejas de los pacientes con cáncer afectan el bienestar y la resiliencia de éstos últimos, y viceversa. Algunos de los resultados más sobresalientes muestran que las expresiones de comprensión, apoyo y aceptación integran la estructura, naturaleza e interacción de las relaciones de pareja. Asimismo, y contrario a lo reportado en literatura, el paciente oncológico desempeña un papel más activo sobre el bienestar de su pareja que esta, lo que se ve favorecido principalmente por la empatía y el amor compasivo, elementos que contribuyen a un mejor estado de salud y a una mayor satisfacción amorosa; aunado a ello, favorece una sensación de valía, fortaleza y certeza de contar con los recursos para poder afrontar el futuro con optimismo, lo que, en conjunto, hace posible que el paciente sea consciente no solo de sus propias habilidades y destrezas en la atención y cuidado que brinda a su pareja, sino también del valor y agradecimiento la misma experimenta al afrontar conjuntamente el padecimiento.

Authors: Flórez-Rodríguez Yanitza Nicole , Sánchez-Aragón Rozzana
Published: October 2021

El cáncer es uno de los principales problemas de salud pública en el mundo; en el caso de México, es la tercera enfermedad causante de muertes. Al ser una enfermedad que carece de una cura definitiva, las consecuencias que trae en la vida de los pacientes son irreversibles y difíciles de sobrellevar. En el mismo sentido, sus parejas se ven seriamente afectadas por la enfermedad y por el rol que deben asumir como cuidadores. Así, resultó fundamental en el presente estudio integrar variables poco estudiadas en las personas con cáncer y sus parejas. Por ello, los objetivos de la presente investigación fueron los de explorar las diferencias entre personas con cáncer y sus cuidadores respecto a las variables de apego, soledad, bienestar subjetivo y salud marital, e identificar la relación entre el tipo de apego con la soledad, el bienestar subjetivo y la satisfacción marital en los enfermos y sus cuidadores por separado. Para ello, se empleó una muestra de 195 parejas, residentes en la Ciudad de México, cuyas edades oscilaban entre 18 a 79 años. Los resultados indican que son las personas con cáncer las que más afectaciones presentan en la percepción de soledad, el bienestar subjetivo y la satisfacción con su relación. Asimismo, se encontraron asociaciones robustas entre los participantes con apego seguro y el acompañamiento que recibían por parte de su pareja, familia y amigos, tanto en las personas con cáncer como en sus cuidadores.

En México, el cáncer representa un grave problema de salud pública. Debido a esta enfermedad, el paciente enfrenta grandes cambios emocionales, conductuales y sociales que generan un considerable estrés emocional; por ello, su pareja asume un papel vital para aminorarlos y facilitar así el apoyo social y psicológico requerido por aquel. En consecuencia, el presente estudio tuvo como objetivos examinar los efectos que tiene la empatía de la pareja en el paciente oncológico, así como la satisfacción del paciente con dicho apoyo y con su capacidad para recibirlo. Participaron 194 parejas heterosexuales en las que uno de sus miembros tenía un diagnóstico de cáncer, quienes respondieron de manera voluntaria diversas escalas: Empatía en el Contexto Romántico, Satisfacción con el Apoyo recibido de la Pareja, Disposición a recibir Apoyo Social y Estrés Percibido. Los hallazgos mostraron relaciones significativas positivas entre la empatía del hombre sano, la satisfacción con el apoyo y la capacidad de recibirlo en la mujer con cáncer y el control del estrés de esta última, así como efectos positivos y significativos de la satisfacción con el apoyo en momentos de necesidad y con la capacidad para recibirlo del hombre con cáncer en el control del estrés.

Published: October 2021

This study aims to learn the thematic evolution of Municipal Solid Waste Management research by revising Scopus indexed publications between 2001 and 2020. Within a longitudinal system, a scientific co-word inspection is conducted from 2001 to 2020. The publication series was split into two periods; the first period is from 2001 to 2010, and the second period is from 2011 to 2020. The findings, impact rates, and Municipal Solid Waste Management research’s conceptual growth are verified. In this emerging field of research, the co-word review established three key topic areas which are “Landfill”, “Urban Area”, and “Uncertainty”. The themes “Municipal Solid Waste,” “Waste Disposal,” “Costs,” “Waste to Energy” and “Environmental Impact Assessment” have changed from the first themes. The themes “Waste Management Systems,” “Treatment Technologies” and “Leachate” were found to have newly emerged and indicated that MSWM had been varied over successive periods. Future researchers could use this information to recognise the focus of awareness and make verdicts in various ways. There are a few limits of this study: 1) some of the Municipal Solid Waste Management publications may not have been included; 2) this study only considered publication records from the Scopus database, and 3) accordingly, the subject area may have changed if other new databases such as Google Scholar, Microsoft academics, or Dimensions have been retrieved. This study’s findings should be conceded as one proof-based structure for building future studies that benefit researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.

Published: October 2021

Reactive Black 5 (RB5) is one of the dyes used in textile industries in Indonesia. However, the high color content can interferewith the condition of water bodies if not treated. This waste treatment process is usually treated with biological treatmentprocesses. Biological processing often used is the MBBR unit and activated sludge. This study aims to determine the RB5dye’s bio-sorption efficiency using MBBR processing and activated sludge. MBBR processing and activated sludge consistof seeding, acclimatization, and running stages. This research was carried out using a real textile wastewater approach byadding 100 mg/L RB5 and adding 1000 mg/L starch solution. The processing results of the seeding stage indicate increasingin biomass. The acclimatization stage with 50% and 75% of wastewater indicates increased biomass and color removal.The RB5 color removal efficiency results in the MBBR unit and activated sludge show 41% and 84% values. The MBBRprocessing shows fluctuations each time where the desorption process occurs in the color removal. For this reason, the ozonepre-treatment process is conducted in the MBBR unit. The integrated pre-treatment with MBBR results show the samefluctuation as the previous processing with a color removal efficiency of 43% with a color removal efficiency of 43%.

Herbicides are generally used in the control of weeds in plants. The use of synthetic chemicals such as herbicides is known tohave a negative impact on the environment. This is because the chemicals in the herbicide can kill or poison the organismsthat eat plants that are exposed to these chemicals. Glyphosate is one of the active ingredients of herbicides which is systemic,so it may leave a residue on weeds such as grasses which are usually used as animal feed. The aim of this study is to analyzethe impact of glyphosate residues on changes in the organ tissue of goats (Capra hircus) fed with feed exposed to glyphosatecompounds. The study was conducted using an experimental method with four treatments of glyphosate concentrationincluding control. The treatment consists of four goats with age of 12 months. The results showed that glyphosate treatmentin feed influenced the development and tissue of the goats. The higher the concentration of the residue exposed to the feed,the higher the residual concentration of glyphosate in livestock blood, namely 0.2377 ppm (P1), 0.3118 ppm (P2), and 0.9377ppm (P3), respectively. The results of the observation on livestock organ tissue showed that there was severe damage to theliver and minor damage to the lung, gastric and kidney tissue. The higher the concentration of the residue exposed to thefeed, the higher the residual concentration of glyphosate in livestock blood and causing more damage

The goal of this study was to detect the risk of developing different atopic dermatitis (AD) phenotypes in children (isolated or combined with other comorbid atopic diseases (AtD)) depending on serum concentrations of cutaneous T-cell attracting chemokine (CTACK)/CCL27. The main group comprised 39 children aged 3 to 18 years old suffering from different AD phenotypes – isolated (18 patients) and combined with comorbid AtD – AR/ARC and/or bronchial asthma (21 patients). The control group comprised 47 children aged 3 to 18 years old, suffering from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Serum CTACK/CCL 27 concentrations were detected in all children. In the full main group, the average level of CTACK/CCL27 was significantly higher compared to the patients of the control group: 4403.6 pg/ml (95% CI: 3726.2; 5148.7, p<0.001) and 3495.9 pg/ml (95% CI: 3197.8; 4186.8, p<0.001), respectively. Mean serum CTACK/CCL27 levels in patients of the main group with different AD phenotypes were higher than those in the full main group: with isolated AD – 4549.4 pg/ml (LQ; HQ: 3923.5; 5175.2, p<0.05), with AD associated with other AtD – 5116.6 pg/ml (LQ, HQ: 4062.8; 6170.5, p<0.05). In phenotypes of overall and isolated AD, the cut-off value of serum CTACK/ CCL27 is 3586.5 pg/ml (76.9% and 77.8%, respectively, and 38.3% in the control group). The risk of development at this concentration is 5.37 (95% CI: 2.05; 14.07, p<0.001) for the total AD phenotype and 5.64 (95% 1.56; 20.32, p<0.05) for the isolated AD phenotype. In AD phenotype combined with comorbid AtD, the cut-off value of serum CTACK/CCL27 is 4308.8 pg/ml (66.7% of the main and 21.3% in the control group). The risk of developing this AD phenotype at this concentration is 7.40 (95% CI: 2.30; 23.76, p<0.001). Serum CTACK/CCL27 levels are the reliable biomarker of the risk for developing different AD phenotypes in children. In the serum level of CTACK/CCL27=3658.5 pg/ml, the significant risk of developing total AD phenotype is 5.37, and isolated – AD=5.64. In the serum concentration of CTACK/CCL27=4308.8 pg/ml, the significant risk of developing AD phenotype combined with comorbid AtD is 7.40.
The Use of a Novel Neurologic Music Therapy Program to Improve Cognition and Emotional Affect in Individuals with Mild to Severe Dementia: A Research Protocol
Authors: Tolentino Raymond , McMahon Aoife , Coward Erika
Published: October 2021

Introduction: Dementia is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder that interferes with independent and daily functioning. In addition to cognitive decline, individuals with dementia experience behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), which involves neuropsychiatric disturbances such as agitation. Studies have suggested music therapy to be an effective part of treatment of individuals with dementia as a method to increase both cognitive function and quality of life (QoL). Therefore, this study aims to construct and test a novel neurologic music therapy (NMT) program to optimize the improvement of cognition and emotional affect in those with mild to severe stages of dementia.
Methods: This research will be designed as a randomized-controlled crossover study, where two groups of participants will be examined: those with mild to moderate dementia and those with severe dementia. The first eight weeks will consist of a no-treatment control period, and the last eight weeks consist of the treatment period, where both participant groups will undergo cognitive and QoL testing at various times.
Results: By comparing the eight-week control period to the eight-week intervention, the results of the study may indicate that NMT benefits individuals with dementia, particularly within the mild to moderate group. Following the intervention, improved cognition, emotional affect, and reduced levels of BPSD in individuals with mild to moderate dementia are anticipated. Participants with severe dementia are expected to have slight improvements within BPSD and emotional affect, and little to no improvement in cognition.
Discussion: Few studies have used NMT as an intervention to treat dementia, with no study utilizing a combination of the three NMT techniques proposed in this study. Furthermore, there has been limited literature focusing on individuals with severe dementia. This proposed study will thus allow for further research on this population.
Conclusion: The proposed NMT program aims to reduce BPSD, and improve emotional affect and cognition within individuals with mild to severe dementia. Future studies may be conducted to examine whether introducing the proposed NMT program may act as a preventative measure of dementia-related cognitive decline.

En esta investigación el objetivo es determinar que, en Tumbes, el vertimiento de las aguas residuales urbanas que desembocan en el río del mismo nombre, genera pérdidas de la biodiversidad florística en el área de influencia del mismo. Se utilizó el programa Spececies Diversity and Richtness de la Pisces Conservation LTDA v 4.1 de Inglaterra para determinar índices de biodiversidad alfa y beta. Se marcaron tres transectos: M1, M2 y M3, de 10 m de ancho por 100 m de largo. En cada uno de ellos se realizó la identificación de especies; ingresándose los datos en cuadros en el Excel 2013 para Windows Diez. Posteriormente se utilizó el Software PAST y SDR. Como resultados, en los tres transectos se identificaron solo 26 especies, resaltando el cerezo de campo en los transectos M1 y M2 y; el gramalote en el M3. Se concluyó que una alternativa de solución se lograría con implementación de proyectos que permitan tratar y descontaminar en lo máximo posible las aguas residuales antes de ser vertidas al rio Tumbes para disminuir considerablemente la perdida de especies de flora y os impactos negativos producidos a la biodiversidad.

Introduction:
The child's body weight is very important in the proper pharmacotherapy in emergency situations.

Aim:
The aim of the study is to assess the reliability of information on the current body weight of a pediatric patient obtained by taking history in emergencies. Additionally, the effectiveness of commonly used age-dependent weight formulas for children was analysed.

Material and methods:
The study was retrospective. We have collected 1103 cases of pediatric patients admitted to the Emergency Department in the second half of 2018, in whom data on body weight were obtained by history taking and by weighing the patient. Subsequently, based on the patient’s age, their weight was estimated using 13 different formulas.

Results and discussion:
Parents, caregivers or teenagers are reliable sources of information about the patient’s actual weight. In 86% of cases the data from the medical history were within the range defined as acceptable (±10% in comparison with the actual body weight). Underestimating body weight was a more frequent mistake than its overestimation. None of the formulas gave half as accurate results as medical history data. Of all the formulas, the best results were reported for the Park formula, however, only 42% of the estimates were within the acceptable range.

Conclusions:
Weight information obtained from children and their parents or caregivers is more reliable in terms of determining the child’s actual body weight than any formula for body weight estimation. If it is necessary to use any of the formulas for approximate body weight, it is most preferable to use the Park formula.
