Conceptual Study of Shatkriyakala in Shuskashipaka (Dry Eye Syndrome)
Authors: Jinoop.P  , Narayan Bavalatti  , Manjusha Rajagopala  , Prabi K P
Published: November 2024

Shushkakshipaka is considered as a Sarvakshi roga by Ayurveda acharyas. Among different Acharyas there is difference in opinion about the Dosha predominance of the disease. According to Susruth Acharya it is a Vataja disease; but Vagbhata describes it as a Vatapitta entity. Vata, Pitta and Rakta play major roles in the pathogenesis of Sushkakshipaka. The term Kriyakala refers to the progress of the disease, which helps to determine the treatment modalities to be given to make the Doshas in equilibrium. The Kriya Kala explained by Susrutha is having six stages, consider as Shadkriyakala. Here is an attempt to explain Shushkakshipaka in terms of Shadkriyakala so that one can understand the stage of the disease and decide the treatment to be given.
Clinical Importance of Agrya Ausadha Aragvadha in the Management of Vicharchika: A Pharmacological Review
Authors: Manisha B  , Suresh C  , O.P. Singh  , Sanjay Kumar Singh
Published: November 2024

In Ayurvedic clinical practice, Agrya ausadha are the first drug of choice for treatment of various diseases. Aragvadha, as an Agrya ausadha, is employed for its therapeutic benefits in both internal and external applications. It is notably used for Mridu virechana (mild purgation) and as a topical remedy for various types of Kustha. In Ayurvedic dermatology kustha has been taken as supreme word for all skin diseases. Vicharchika, classified as a Kshudra Kustha, is treated through the dual principles of Sodhana (purification) and Samana Chikitsa (pacification). The Majja (pulp) of Aragvadha is utilized for internal Sodhana therapy, while the leaves are applied externally as a paste for Samana Chikitsa. Preliminary findings indicate that Aragvadha meets the criteria for an ideal drug as per classical Ayurveda, given its accessibility (Bahuta), versatility in formulations (Anekvidhkalpana), and effectiveness (Yogatyam). Aragvadha, through its varied formulations, plays a crucial role in the Ayurvedic management of Vicharchika. Its use aligns with the principles of Sodhana and Samana Chikitsa, offering a comprehensive approach to treating this skin disorder. The study highlights the clinical significance of different parts of Aragvadha and supports its continued use in Ayurvedic dermatological practice.

Multiple Aneurysmal Arterial Disease (MAD) is an extremely rare arterial vascular condition and is produced by an abnormal alteration of smooth muscle cells and neutrophils, producing a multiple-aneurysmal degeneration. We present the case of a 36-year-old patient with a MAD in the cerebral territory and extremities with no surgical indication; however, with an aneurysm of the right inferior renal segmental artery, inferior mesenteric artery, left common iliac artery, and right internal iliac artery with surgical indication. An open approach with single-stage surgical repair, including graft interposition, bypass, exclusion, and vascular reimplantation, was performed. The surgical and postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged with an indication for outpatient follow-up. The open approach may be the best option for young patients with MAD, especially in the abdominopelvic region, without the need for high resources, with satisfactory results and improved patient survival.
Computational Analysis to Identify Novel Drug Targets for Esophageal Cancer
Authors: Jangid Vinod , Rahul Chandrasekar Narayanan , Rashmi B Aarthi , Sekar Kanagaraj
Published: November 2024

Cancer is a multigene and widespread disease.  Increasing drug resistance leads to the development of new therapeutic targets. Recent research indicates that various cellular components called Stress Granules (SGs) are engaged in the cancer-related signaling pathway. The phosphoinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, considered a master regulator in cancer, has been shown through genomic profiling studies to play a key role in Esophageal Cancer (EC). In this study, we performed the in-silico analysis of an RNA sequencing dataset to investigate the effects of omipalisib, a PI3K/mTOR inhibitor, on EC cell lines. Our objective was to identify novel molecular targets, particularly stress granule-related proteins, that contribute to drug resistance in EC. Using computational approaches including differential gene expression analysis, pathway analysis, and functional enrichment, we examined the transcriptomic changes in response to omipalisib treatment. Our analysis revealed downregulation of the PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway and upregulation of compensatory pathways such as FOXO and JAK-STAT signaling in response to omipalisib. Notably, we identified 16 stress granule-related proteins that were significantly upregulated, suggesting their potential role in drug resistance mechanisms. These findings provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying drug resistance in EC and highlight potential novel targets for therapeutic intervention. Currently, EC is limited by the number of potential drugs for treatment, poor prognosis, and is prone to chemotherapeutic resistance to existing clinically proven drugs. Our computational analysis offers valuable insights into targeting stress granules for cancer drug discovery, potentially enhancing the development of new therapeutic strategies for EC. These results provide a strong foundation for future experimental validation and drug development efforts aimed at overcoming resistance to EC treatment.

Methanolic Extract of Cannabis sativa Ameliorates Rifampin-Induced Nephrotoxicity and Tubular Necrosis in Rats
Authors: Bilal Tarig Hussein Abdelrahman , Bello Sanusi Mohammad , Ja’afar Nuraddeen Ibrahim , Suliman Nada Muhammed , Shivappa Anil Bengaluru , Hashim Ahmed
Published: November 2024

Purpose: The study was conducted for the renal protective activity of the methanolic extract of Cannabis sativa against renal toxicity induced by rifampin injection in rats. This study selected Cannabis sativa, a member of the Cannabinaceae family, for its widespread use in treating gout, constipation, pain, insomnia, kidney inflammation, and other diseases. The results showed  decreased levels of serum urea, creatinine, sodium (Na), and potassium (K) inhibited the induced toxicity. Histopathological examination revealed that the kidney was protected from the marked necrosis of renal tubules caused by rifampin.
Methodology: Forty Wister white (albino) rats weighing 100-150 gm were used. We produced renal toxicity by injecting rifampin i/p- at a dose rate of 0.8 mL/kg BW for 28 days, which led to nephrotoxicity. We administered the plant extract by simultaneously administering a methanolic extract of Cannabis sativa orally at dose rates of 300 and 600 mg/kg for 28 days.
Findings: Rifampin-induced nephrotoxicity increased potassium, urea, and creatinine levels while decreasing sodium levels. When Cannabis sativa is administered with rifampin, sodium concentrations increase. A decrease in potassium, urea, and creatinine accompanies the increase in sodium levels.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice, and Policy: Flavonoids may be responsible for the nephroprotective effect of Cannabis sativa extract; therefore, more research to identify the active component is necessary.
EVENTOS METEOROLÓGICOS ASSOCIADOS AO CICLONE EXPLOSIVO OCORRIDO EM JUNHO DE 2020 E IMPACTOS NO ESTADO DE SANTA CATARINA
Authors: Faria Leandro Fortunato , Simões Reboita Michelle
Published: November 2024

Os ciclones extratropicais são um dos sistemas atmosféricos que mais causam mudanças no tempo das regiões onde atuam. Em algumas situações, esses sistemas  apresentam uma taxa de aprofundamento de ~24 hPa/24 h o que lhes confere o status de ciclones explosivos. Entre o final de junho e início de julho de 2020, um ciclone, que atingiu o status de explosivo, teve gênese entre o Rio Grande do Sul e Uruguai e rápido deslocamento para o oceano. Diante desse contexto, o objetivo do estudo é descrever o ciclo de vida do ciclone extratropical e os sistemas atmosféricos associados a ele, os quais causaram muitos danos ambientais e materiais e, até mesmo, o óbito de pelo menos 12 pessoas no Estado de Santa Catarina (SC). Para descrever a configuração do ciclone utilizaram-se dados de reanálise, enquanto para a descrição dos impactos no Estado de SC foram usadas notícias publicadas pela mídia e dados fornecidos pela defesa civil de tal Estado. Entre os resultados destacam-se que o ciclone teve gênese associada a um cavado em níveis médios/altos da atmosfera e que teve uma taxa de aprofundamento de 36 hPa em 24 horas, o que lhe concedeu a característica de ciclone explosivo. O ramo frontal frio desse sistema, que tinha seu centro sobre o oceano, atuou sobre SC ajudando na formação de outros sistemas meteorológicos causadores de danos na região.

Abstract. Evapotranspiration (ET) is a crucial component of the terrestrial hydrological cycle. Latent heat flux (LE, equivalent to ET in W/m2) observed by the eddy covariance (EC) technique, as known as LEEC, has been publicly recognized as highly accurate benchmark for global ET estimation. Currently, there is an increasing need for long time-series benchmark data to support climate change analysis, construction of new models, and validation of new products. However, existing LEEC datasets, like FLUXNET2015, face significant challenges due to limited observation periods and extensive data gaps. This hinders their application. To address these issues, we developed a gap-filling and prolongation framework for LEEC data and established a benchmark dataset for global ET estimation from 2000 to 2022 across 64 sites at various time scales. The framework mainly contained 3 parts: site selection and data pre-processing, gap-filled half-hourly / hourly LE data generation, and prolonged daily LE data generation. We selected 64 sites from FLUXNET2015 based on a rigorous filtering criterion. A novel bias-corrected random forest (RF) algorithm was used as the gap-filling and prolongation algorithm of the framework to produce seamless half-hourly and daily LE data. After analysis, the framework using novel bias-corrected RF algorithm achieves excellent performance both in hourly gap-filling and daily prolongation, with a median RMSE of 32.84 W/m2 and 16.58 W/m2, respectively. The algorithm significantly improved the gap-filling performance for long gaps and extreme values compared with the original RF and marginal distribution sampling (MDS) algorithm. The results demonstrate robust prolongation performance of our framework both on prolonging directions and temporal stability. There is a high consistency in data distribution between our gap-filled dataset and FLUXNET2015 dataset. In conclusion, a benchmark dataset for global ET estimation based on FLUXNET2015 from 2000 to 2022 was firstly published. This dataset can strongly provide data support for ET modelling, water-carbon cycle monitoring and climate change analysis.

Published: November 2024

Abstract. We report on the availability of data from an airborne gravity campaign in Iceland and Greenland, conducted during June and July 2023. The dataset includes observations from a platform stabilised gravimeter based on cold-atom quantum technology and a strapdown gravimeter based on classical technology. The data is available in three different levels of processing making it relevant to users interesting in working with "quantum" and "hybrid" data as well as users interested in geophysical studies. The manuscript describes the data processing applied to derive the various levels of data and presents an evaluation of the data accuracy. This evaluation indicates an accuracy of 1 to 2 mGal for both sensors, depending on the roughness of the gravity field. Although the two technologies lead to similar performance, further analysis indicates that the error characteristics are different and that final estimates would benefit from a combination.
A simple model for faceted topographies at normal faults based on an extended stream-power law
Authors: Hergarten Stefan
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Mountain fronts at normal faults are often faceted in the sense that they contain strikingly planar surface elements that follow the surface trace of the fault. Since the dip angle of the facets is typically much lower than the dip angle of the fault, it is clear that the facets are not just the exhumed footwall but have been eroded considerably. It has also been shown that a constant erosion rate in combination with a constant rate of displacement can explain the occurrence of planar facets. Quantitatively, however, the formation of faceted topographies is still not fully understood. In this study, the shared stream-power model for fluvial erosion and sediment transport is used in combination with a recently published extension for hillslopes. As a major theoretical result, it is found that the ratio of the tangents of the facet angle and the dip angle of the fault as well as the ratio of the baseline length and horizontal width of perfect triangular facets mainly depend on the ratio of the horizontal rate of displacement and the hillslope erodibility. Numerical simulations reveal that horizontal displacement is crucial for the formation of triangular facets. For vertical faults, facets are rather multiangular and much longer than wide. While the sizes of individual facets vary strongly, the average size is controlled by the ratio of hillslope erodibility and fluvial erodibility.
Managing data of sensor-equipped transportation networks using graph databases
Authors: Bollen Erik , Hendrix Rik , Kuijpers Bart
Published: November 2024

Abstract. In this paper, we are concerned with data pertinent to transportation networks, which model situations in which objects move along a graph-like structure. We assume that these networks are equipped with sensors that monitor the network and the objects moving along it. These sensors produce time series data, resulting in sensor networks. Examples are river, road, and electricity networks. Geographical information systems are used to gather, store, and analyse data, and we focus on these tasks in the context of data emerging from transportation networks equipped with sensors. While tailored solutions exist for many contexts, they are limited for sensor-equipped networks at this moment. We view time series data as temporal properties of the network and approach the problem from the viewpoint of property graphs. In this paper, we adapt and extend the theory of the existing property graph databases to model spatial networks, where nodes and edges can contain temporal properties that are time series data originating from the sensors. We propose a language for querying these property graphs with time series, in which time series and measurement patterns may be combined with graph patterns to describe, retrieve, and analyse real-life situations. We demonstrate the model and language in practice by implementing both in Neo4j and explore questions hydrology researchers pose in the context of the Internet of Water, including salinity analysis in the Yser river basin.
Deducing land–atmosphere coupling regimes from SMAP soil moisture
Authors: Makhasana Payal R. , Santanello Joseph A. , Lawston-Parker Patricia M. , Roundy Joshua K.
Published: November 2024

Abstract. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the significance of land–atmosphere (L–A) interactions and feedback mechanisms in understanding and predicting Earth's water and energy cycles. Soil moisture plays a critical role in mediating the strength of L–A interactions and is important for understanding the complex and governing processes across this interface. This study aims to identify the significance of soil moisture in identifying L–A coupling strength within the convective triggering potential (CTP) and humidity index (HI) framework. To address this, a consistent and reliable dataset of atmospheric profiles is created by merging CTP and HI using triple collocation (TC) with three reanalysis datasets. The merged CTP and HI product demonstrates enhanced performance globally compared to the individual datasets when validated with radiosonde and satellite observations. This merged product of CTP and HI is then used to compare the L–A coupling strength based on Soil Moisture Active Passive Level 3 (SMAPL3) and SMAP Level 4 (SMAPL4) over 2 decades (2003–2022) where L–A coupling strength is defined as the persistence probability within the dry and wet coupling regimes. Results indicate that the persistency-based coupling strength is related to the ability of soil moisture to predict future atmospheric humidity and dry vs. wet coupling state. The coupling strength in SMAPL4 is consistently stronger than in SMAPL3 and is likely due to its reliance on a land surface model and reduced susceptibility to random noise. The difference in coupling strength based on the same CTP–HI underscores the importance of soil moisture data in estimating coupling strength within the CTP–HI framework. These findings lay the groundwork for understanding the role of L–A interactions and drought evolution due to soil moisture variations by providing insight into the quantification of coupling strength and its role in drought monitoring and forecast efforts.
Dynamical changes in seismic properties prior to, during, and after the 2014–2015 Holuhraun eruption, Iceland
Authors: Sudibyo Maria R. P. , Eibl Eva P. S. , Hainzl Sebastian , Ohrnberger Matthias
Published: November 2024

Abstract. When a volcano is monitored using only a single discipline or a single seismic station, it becomes important to harvest information from the limited data set. Changes in the seismic complexity could reveal a dynamic change due to magma propagation. We evaluated permutation entropy (PE) and phase permutation entropy (PPE) to monitor the 2014–2015 Holuhraun eruption in Iceland. These methods provide fast and robust quantification of time series complexity. We additionally calculated the instantaneous frequency (IF), commonly used to monitor the frequency changes in a non-stationary signal; the root-mean square (RMS); and the root-median square (RMeS) of the seismic amplitude. We observed distinct changes in the temporal variation in PE, PPE, and IF, which are consistent with the changing state from quiescence to magma propagation and then to eruption. During the eruption, PE and PPE fit the lava discharge rate, showing their potential to forecast the duration of the eruption. While one parameter may be more sensitive to one stage, the other may respond better to another stage. Therefore, combining them may provide more reliable information. Cluster analysis of these combined parameters shows clusters consistent with the expert interpretation, confirming the power of these parameters to distinguish different eruption stages.
Multiple timescale variations in fronts in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan
Authors: Dong Menghong , Guo Xinyu
Published: November 2024

Abstract. The Seto Inland Sea (SIS) is a critical semi-enclosed coastal sea in Japan, characterized by intricate coastlines and narrow straits that give rise to various fronts. Despite extensive research on tidal fronts, knowledge gaps persist regarding their spatiotemporal dynamics, particularly in certain poorly documented regions. Additionally, the understanding of thermohaline fronts, which emerge during winter, requires further investigation. We aimed to enhance our understanding of tidal and thermohaline fronts in the SIS by analyzing their dynamic processes, including intra-tidal and spring–neap tidal cycles, seasonal variations, and anomalous frontal variability. Using a gradient-based algorithm with an advanced contextual feature-preserving median filter, we processed the high-resolution sea surface temperature dataset to detect and quantify tidal and thermohaline fronts. Our analysis revealed the presence of numerous tidal fronts, predominantly influenced by the M2 tide, across the SIS, with substantial spatial variations in amplitude due to complex coastlines and narrow straits. Intra-tidal movements of tidal fronts corresponded to ebb and flood currents, while spring–neap tidal cycles and seasonal shifts influenced frontal positions and intensities. Additionally, thermohaline fronts were identified in certain regions during winter, characterized by large horizontal temperature and salinity gradients. This study enhances the understanding of tidal and thermohaline fronts in the SIS, emphasizing the importance of intra-tidal and wind-driven influences on frontal dynamics. However, limited observational coverage and resolution emphasize the need for further research to explore long-term temporal changes and better grasp the influences of ambient currents and wind patterns. Such insights are vital for effective coastal management and environmental monitoring in the SIS region.

Abstract. The International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) STAR (A Strainmeter Array Along the Alto Tiberina Fault System) drilling project aims to study the seismic and aseismic fault slip behavior of the active low-angle Alto Tiberina normal fault (ATF) in the northern Apennines, central Italy, by drilling and instrumenting six shallow boreholes (maximum depth 160 m) with seismometers and strainmeters. During the STAR fieldwork, a geophysical downhole logging campaign was carried out to define the optimal target depth for instrument deployment and formation rock characterization. In particular, the main objectives of this study were to define in situ physical properties of the rocks and the tectonic discontinuity geometry along the boreholes. The downhole logging data provide new findings and knowledge, especially with regards to physical properties such as resistivity and gamma-ray and wave velocity. The collected parameters were compared to the results of literature data collected in similar lithologies, as well as with the results of logging performed in deeper wells drilled for commercial purposes. The physical properties of the Mesozoic–early Tertiary calcareous formations show low gamma-ray values and high compressional (Vp) and shear wave (Vs) velocities (up to 5.3 and 2.9 km s−1, respectively), whereas the overlying clay-rich Late Tertiary formations exhibit high gamma-ray and low resistivity values as well as relatively low Vp and Vs values (up to 3.5 and 2.0 km s−1, respectively). The results obtained from the analysis of the orientations of the tectonic structures, measured along the six boreholes, show good agreement with the orientations of the present-day extensional stress field, which is NE–SW-oriented. Our study allowed us to bridge the gap between the physical properties obtained from literature data and those obtained from the deep well measurements, representing a possible case history for future projects. These new outcomes represent an almost unexplored window of data and will contribute to the advancement of knowledge of the physical properties of the rocks at shallow depths, which are typically overlooked.

It enables researchers to comprehend and interpret the relationship between the variables included in a contingency table. Simple correspondence analysis explores the relationship between two variables in a contingency table. However, most practical situations involve more than two variables, for which multiple correspondence analysis is employed to investigate the relationships among them. Joint correspondence analysis is proposed as an improvement of the multiple correspondence analysis. The aim of this study is to analyze and interpret the data from the survey of life satisfaction in Türkiye through joint correspondence analysis and alternative multiple correspondence analysis.

This study focuses on determining the abundance of benthic foraminifera and its correlation with hydro-oceanographic conditions in the Tambelan Islands, Indonesia. The findings reveal that Assilina and Amphistegina, the two dominant genera found, are generally associated with coral reefs. The FI values indicate a favorable coral reef environment. PCA analysis demonstrates that the abundance of benthic foraminifera in the Tambelan Islands, influenced by temperature parameters, is the most significant factor with a positive correlation. This research underscores the Tambelan Islands' status as an excellent aquatic environment for coral reefs, with the abundance of benthic foraminifera serving as a key indicator of this status.
Türkiye orman fidanlıklarında yetiştirilen Karaçam ve Sahilçamı türlerine yönelik gerçekleştirilen bitki besleme faaliyetlerinin incelenmesi
Authors: Leventoğlu Hakan
Published: November 2024

Giriş ve Hedefler Türkiye Orman Fidanlık üretim tesislerinde üretilen iğne yapraklı fidanlara yönelik, üretim aşamasında gerçekleştirilen bitki besleme faaliyetleri ve gübre kullanımının hangi seviyede olduğunu anlamaya yöneliktir. Ülkemizdeki orman fidanlıkları içinde coğrafik olarak seçilen, 8 Orman fidanlığından fidan örnekleme çalışması yapılmıştır.
Yöntemler Fidanlıklarda yaygın olarak üretilen Karaçam ve Sahilçamı fidanlarının gelişim ve beslenme durumlarının tespiti amacıyla, fidan örnekleri üzerinde değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya dâhil edilen fidanlıkların seçiminde, Karaçam ve Sahilçamı fidan yetiştiriciliğinin yoğun olduğu bölgelerdeki fidanlıkların yer almasına ve bu fidanlıklarda üretilen bu türlerin üretim miktarları bakımından kapasitesinin yüksek olmasına dikkat edilmiştir.
Bulgular İbreli türlerin yapraklarındaki besin elementi konsantrasyonlarının 100 birim N için oransal dağılımlarına göre, 100 birim N’a karşılık olarak 11-25 birim P, 33-66 birim K, 8-13 birim Mg, 28-87 birim Ca ve 6-11 birim S olduğu, 4.8- 13 birim Fe, 0.5-1.0 Zn, 0.2-1.8 birim Cu, 0.6-1.8 Mn ve 0.6-7.6 birim Na olduğu görülmektedir.
Sonuçlar Araştırma neticesinde fidan setlerinin (her bir set 20 adet fidan) topraktan kaldırmış olduğu besin miktarları, birim alandaki fidan sayısı ile eşleştirilerek toplam birey sayısının topraktan kaldırmış olduğu miktar ve söküm işlemleri akabinde tekrar ne kadar besin ilave edilmesi sonucuna ulaşılabilinir. Üretim aşamasında, besleme faaliyetlerinde bilhassa gübre kullanımı, maalesef toprak tahlil sonuçların dan ziyade büyük oranda alışılagelmiş gelenekçi anlayışla yapıldığı görülmektedir.

Giriş ve hedefler Ormandan çıkarılan odun hammaddesinin teslim alındığı, depolandığı ve alıcılara satışının gerçekleştirilerek teslim edildiği yer olan orman işletme depolarında yapılması gereken işlemler, tomruk ürün çeşidi başta olmak üzere orman emvalinin kalitesini ve buna bağlı olarak değerini etkileyen önemli faktörlerden biridir. Bu çalışmada, Marmara Bölgesi Devlet Orman İşletmeleri depolarının durumu ve karşılaşılan depolama kayıpları tespit edilmiştir.
Yöntemler İstanbul, Bursa, Sakarya ve Çanakkale Orman Bölge Müdürlükleri’ni (OBM) temsil edecek şekilde her bir OBM’ye ait 3’er adet depoda çalışılmıştır. Burada, 310 sayılı tebliğde depolama konusunda aranan özellikler ve konuyla ilgili literatür esas alınarak satış depo yerlerinin seçimi, satış deposu bina ve tesislerinin durumu, oluşan depolama kayıpları ve satış partilerinin durumunu belirlemek amacıyla gözlem, tespit ve değerlendirmelerde bulunulmuştur. Arazi çalışmaları farklı zaman dilimlerini karşılaştırabilmek için 2016 ve 2023 yıllarında gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Bulgular İnceleme yapılan depolarda bulunan tomruklarda sonradan oluşan çatlaklar ve kayın odunlarında görülen ardaklanmalar başlıca depolama kayıpları olarak tespit edilmiştir. Tüm depolarda satışa kadar geçen depolama süresinin sıcak aylarda en aza indirilmesinin buna bağlı kalite kayıplarını azaltacağı belirlenmiştir. Depolama kayıplarının en aza indirilmesi için çalışan personel sayısı ve niteliği de oldukça önemlidir. Ayrıca birçok depoda elektrik ve iletişim imkânlarının olmaması önemli sorunlar arasında görülmektedir.
Sonuçlar Depolarda çalışanların depolama kayıpları, odun kalitesi, depolama teknikleri ve standardizasyonuna yönelik birikimlerinde farklılıklar bulunmaktadır. Kayın ve meşe türlerinin yoğun olduğu yerlerde sulu depolama uygulamaları planlanmalı ve doğru tekniklerle depolanması için kaynaklar yaratılmalıdır.
Los pretéritos simples en la escritura de estudiantes misquitos de Medicina UNAN- Managua
Authors: Martínez Zúniga Blanca Rosa
Published: November 2024

Esta investigación se enfoca en el aprendizaje del español como segunda lengua, esencialmente, en el ámbito gramatical, relacionado con el empleo del verbo en español. Su propósito es identificar los problemas en el uso de los pretéritos simples del modo indicativo en la expresión escrita que presentan los estudiantes misquitos de la carrera de Medicina de la UNAN- Managua. La identificación de las dificultades en el empleo de los pretéritos simples revela como resultados que los estudiantes misquitos muestran dificultades en la caligrafía, lo que dificulta entender sus escritos. También, presentan fallas de ortografía, tanto literal como acentual. De igual manera, tienden a confundir el verbo con otras categorías gramaticales como el sustantivo, el adjetivo, y con las formas no personales del verbo como el infinitivo. Además, se les imposibilita la comprensión de lo orientado en las diversas actividades. Esta situación se origina porque la comprensión del uso de los tiempos simples es difícil para los estudiantes cuya lengua materna no es el español. Esto impide que respondan correctamente, por lo que recurren a la selección falsa, sin considerar el sentido coherente y lógico entre las palabras.

Published: November 2024

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of bee products on quality of life, anxiety, and the prognosis of Covid-19 in young adolescents who had contracted the virus.

Material-Method: The population of this cross-sectional descriptive study comprised university students residing in a city center in Eastern Turkey. Data collection was conducted from January 2023 to January 2024, using a convenience sampling method, and included 514 participants. Data collection tools consisted of a sociodemographic characteristics information form, an apitherapy and nutritional supplement use form, the Turkish version of the SF-12 Health Survey, and the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS). Additionally, a Structural Equation Model was developed and tested to explore the relationship between the use of apitherapy products, fear of Covid-19, and quality of life.

Results: The study found that 25.3% of students used apitherapy methods during their Covid-19 illness, with honey being the most commonly used product (33.8%), and 50% of those who used these methods reported recovery from the disease. A significant difference was observed between the use of apitherapy methods and CAS scores, with those who used pollen reporting higher mean CAS scores. Gender, smoking status, and the use of apitherapy methods during Covid-19 were associated with fear of the virus.

Conclusion: This study highlighted the potential benefits of bee products for young adolescents during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. It is recommended that future studies include larger, multicenter samples and provide comparative results for further validation.
Complications of Volar Versus Low-Profile Dorsal Plating of Distal Radius Fractures
Authors: Jiang Eric X. , Day Charles S.
Published: November 2024

Distal radius fractures are one of the most common injuries of the upper extremity. Although nonsurgical management is common, surgical intervention, particularly using volar and dorsal plate fixation, is essential in a subset of injuries. Historically, dorsal plates were avoided due to a high rate of extensor tendon irritation and rupture. Volar locking plates were developed in the early 1990s and first published in 2000 to avoid the complications associated with dorsal plating and have since become widely considered the workhorse for most distal radius fractures. Despite advancements, both fixation methods are still associated with complications, warranting careful selection based on fracture patterns. The purpose of this review is to summarize the most recent literature on the complications associated with the use of volar and low-profile dorsal distal radius plates.
