Published: January 2024

Despite the prospects of the approach to cell therapy of cartilage damage in humans involving autologous chondrocytes, similar technologies are just beginning to be introduced into medical practice in the Russian Federation. In this regard, the development of biomedical cell products (BCPs) for cartilage tissue repair is quite topical, while the use of organoid technology is the most close to the native tissue conditions. According to requirements of legislation of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to assess biodistribution characterizing migration potential of the cells, their tropism for body tissues following implantation within the framework of preclinical trials. The study was aimed to assess biodistribution of novel BCP based on human chondrocytes in the form of chondrospheres after subcutaneous implantation in Balb/c nude mice. Implantation to 12 mice was performed during the first phase, along with administration of saline to 12 control animals. Weighting and follow-up were conducted for 90 days. Then mice were withdrawn from the experiment to collect samples of organs and tissues for histological analysis of the implant, estimation of its viability, integration. During the second phase biodistribution was assessed by PCR in order to detect human DNA in the organ and tissue samples. Chondrospheres successfully integrated in the tissues surrounding the inoculation zones and formed cartilage tissue. No significant (p < 0.05) changes in weight were reported. No human DNA found in chondrosphere implantation zones was detected in the samples collected from other organs and tissues. BCP demonstrated no biodistribution across other tissues and organs of mice 90 days after implantation, which suggested that the product developed was safe.

The growing proportion of antibiotic-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains raises challenges to the healthcare system and requires the development of alternative treatment options. Bacteriophage therapy is one of such options. The study was aimed to isolate and describe bacteriophages effective against K. pneumoniae strains of clinically significant capsular types. The bacteriophages were isolated from the sewage and river water samples using the enrichment culture technique. The spectrum of lytic activity of the phages was tested on the collection of K. pneumoniae clinical isolates (n = 279). The studied bacteriophages lysed 52.8–100% of K. pneumoniae strains of respective capsular types: phage VKV295 lysed 100% of strains with the capsular type KL1, SAA231 — 52.8 of strains with KL2, NNK-G4 — 100% of strains with KL39, VSG32 — 66.7% of strains with KL41, NKA196 — 87.5% of strains with KL47, Rappa3 — 87.5% of strains with KL57, PEA128 — 95.5% of strains with KL64, and ChM-G5 — 69.6% of strains with KL102. Whole-genome sequencing and subsequent bioinformatic analysis revealed that the phages belong to the Autographiviridae family and are classified into three genera.The lytic spectrum of phages was limited to specific capsular types due to the presence of specific receptor-binding proteins, polysaccharide depolymerases. The isolated bacteriophages were strictly virulent, did not carry harmful genetic determinants, and had a specific host range, making them applicable in therapeutic practice for combating antibiotic-resistant infections caused by K. pneumoniae.

Authors: Sharagin PA , Tolstykh EI , Shishkina EA
Published: January 2024

The red bone marrow (RBM) exposure due to bone-seeking radionuclides can lead to grave medical consequences. In particular, the increased risk of leukemia in people exposed due to contamination of the Techa River in 1950s is associated with the RBM exposure due to 89,90Sr. Improvement of the internal RBM dosimetry methods includes the development of computational phantoms that represent 3D models of the skeletal sites. Modeling radiation transport within such phantoms enables estimation of conversion factors from the radionuclide activity in the bone to the RBM dose rate. This paper is an extension study focused on generating a set of computational phantoms representing skeletons of individuals of different ages. The aim was to develop a computational phantom representing a 5-yearold child for internal RBM dosimetry from incorporated beta emitters. The phantoms of the skeletal sites with active hematopoiesis were created using the original Stochastic Parametric Skeletal Dosimetry (SPSD) method. With this method, every such site represented a set of smaller phantoms of simple geometric shape. RBM distribution across the skeleton, bone size, characteristics of bone micro-architecture, as well as density and chemical composition of the simulated media (RBM, bone) were determined based on the published data. As a result, a computational phantom of the major skeletal sites with active hematopoiesis representing a 5-year-old child was generated that included 43 phantoms of bone fragments. Linear dimensions of phantoms were within 3–75 mm. Micro-architecture parameters varied greatly: BV/TV ratio —13–52%, Tb. Th. — 0.09–0.29 mm, Tb. Sp. —0.48–0.98 mm.

By leveraging AR, the proposed smart glass software will function as a navigational tool, guiding users directly to the precise location of equipment faults, resembling "Google Maps" for industrial maintenance. This research seeks to investigate the potential impact of AR-assisted navigation on the efficiency and effectiveness of maintenance activities, particularly in complex industrial settings. Furthermore, the study will address the usability, user acceptance, and technical feasibility of integrating AR technology into maintenance processes, ultimately contributing to the advancement of smart maintenance solutions in industrial settings.
Freud e as alterações da personalidade
Authors: Antonio de Oliveira Morais Yago
Published: January 2024

Freud propôs uma teoria da personalidade a partir do estabelecimento da psicanálise. Nosso objetivo é percorrer alguns de seus primeiros textos, os quais foram escritos em conjunto com Breuer, buscando delimitar o que Freud compreendeu a respeito de alterações da personalidade, tal como a múltipla personalidade. Este fenômeno ganhou um importante destaque no século XIX, gerando discussões no campo da psicologia e da filosofia, uma vez que implicava ruptura da unidade da personalidade. Freud, por sua vez, ofereceu uma interpretação original de tais alterações à luz de suas investigações sobre a histeria. Para explicar os desdobramentos da personalidade, Freud focou numa teoria da defesa, colocando o recalque (Verdrängung) como um mecanismo modelo para compreender a personalidade e suas patologias.

Authors: Pacheco Garrido Víctor Eduardo
Published: January 2024

En este artículo se exploraron las visiones y percepciones que sobre la identidad nacional tienen niñas y niños que residen en la región fronteriza de Tacna y Arica. Se presentan, por tanto, parte de los resultados obtenidos en la tesis de investigación doctoral Dibujando la frontera: Tacna y Arica desde los niños y las niñas, presentada en el 2021 en el Departamento de Estudios Latinoamericanos de la Universidad de Brasilia.

El propósito de este trabajo consistió en comprender y analizar cómo los niños y las niñas concebían, experimentaban y asimilaban su identidad nacional. Para ello, se formularon preguntas específicas, tales como "¿Qué significa para ustedes ser peruanos/as?" y "¿Qué significa para ustedes ser chilenos/as?", dirigidas a 27 estudiantes de 10 a 12 años de la Escuela Carlos Armando Laura de Tacna (Perú) y a 7 estudiantes de la misma franja etaria de diversas escuelas de la ciudad de Arica (Chile).

Este estudio se enmarcó, principalmente, en la perspectiva de los Estudios de la Infancia, y adoptó un enfoque transdisciplinario en el cual se integró un diseño cualitativo de naturaleza etnográfica. Se emplearon diversas técnicas, siendo el dibujo la principal herramienta utilizada en esta investigación.

Los resultados revelaron que los niños y niñas fundamentan su identidad nacional en un pasado indígena glorioso, relegando los procesos criollos de construcción de los actuales Estados. Adicionalmente, se constata que los símbolos como banderas y escudos, la comida típica y el fútbol desempeñan un papel crucial en la consolidación de la identidad nacional. No obstante, en los casos de niños y niñas que se autoidentifican como indígenas, emerge una tensión entre su afiliación étnica y su identificación nacional.

Results: Out of the respondents, 71.2% were medical students, and 26.7% were doctors. Approximately 24% reported a family history of breast cancer. Media was identified as the primary source of information on breast cancer by 79.2% of women. Only 64.9% of respondents practiced self-breast examination, with merely 23.8% performing it monthly. Furthermore, only 37.1% correctly identified all the essential steps for conducting a breast self-examination.
Conclusion: While the knowledge of breast cancer is satisfactory among healthcare workers and hospital employees, there is room for improvement in attitudes and practices related to early detection and screening. Initiatives should be undertaken by medical undergraduate curriculum coordinators to incorporate breast self-examination, clinical breast examination, and screening guidelines in both pre-clinical and clinical years of medical education. Additionally, information dissemination programs should be implemented in hospitals for all employees.
Hermenêutica filosófica de Gadamer:
Authors: Barreto Carmem Lúcia Brito Tavares , Leite Danielle de Fátima da C.C. de Siqueira
Published: January 2024

O presente trabalho objetiva discutir as possíveis contribuições da Hermenêutica Filosófica de Gadamer para a pesquisa em Psicologia. Nessa direção, parte da problematização do modo como o conhecimento é produzido na Psicologia, com realce para a insuficiência do horizonte técnico-científico para aproximar-se dos fenômenos humanos. Recorre à Hermenêutica Filosófica de Gadamer na busca do desvelamento de outras possibilidades para tal fazer. Para tanto, parte da compreensão da hermenêutica, não na função de método, mas compreendida como condição humana originária. Aborda inicialmente o reconhecimento da influência de Heidegger para o desenvolvimento da Hermenêutica Filosófica de Gadamer e, em seguida, tece uma possível articulação entre o horizonte aberto por Gadamer e a pesquisa em Psicologia, enfocando as compreensões do filósofo acerca da compreensão, do jogo e do diálogo. Por fim, ressalta as contribuições abertas pela Hermenêutica Filosófica para descortinar “direcionamentos” inspiradores às pesquisas no contexto da Psicologia na busca de compreender os fenômenos existenciais. Tal caminho, na medida em que não busca conclusões teoréticas e explicativas, ao manter-se na direção da pergunta, realça a dimensão compreensiva e hermenêutica originária da existência como  radicalmente singular e possibilita a tessitura de diálogos entre Psicologia e Hermenêutica Filosófica.
Boa vontade, abertura e empatia.

Published: January 2024

Partindo do debate de Paris, com Derrida, que se defende ter tido uma importante repercussão no caminho de Gadamer, pretende aclarar-se a noção de boa vontade. Tardiamente surgida e não isenta de certa imprecisão, que se detecta no debate em que ganha relevo, está ausente de Verdade e Método e só chega a explicitar-se posteriormente em relação com a solidaridade. O presente trabalho procura mostrar que antes do conteúdo ético, que chega a assumir, tem inicialmente um sentido pré-ético, que o aproxima do conceito hermenêutico de abertura da compreensão. Finalmente, fenomenologicamente considerado, defende-se que tem a sua raiz na empatia.

Of all the significant advances made by mankind, probably the most important is the development of internet. The real power of today's internet is that it is available to anyone with a computer, mobile phone, etc. Initially when internet was developed, the founding fathers hardly had any inclination that it could transform itself into an all pervading revolution which could be misused for criminal activities and which required regulation. Today, there are a number of crimes committed in cyberspace due to the anonymous nature of the internet. Hence, the need for stringent cyber laws

El presente estudio es una investigación exploratoria que ha tenido un doble objetivo. Por un lado, identificar el perfil que poseen las empresas dedicadas al manejo de desechos tecnológicos en la República de Panamá y, por otro, evaluar las relaciones que estas empresas poseen con instituciones públicas y otras organizaciones. Diez empresas de las trece detectadas fueron encuestadas, de las que pudieron completar el estudio nueve de ellas. Para el análisis exploratorio de las respuestas al cuestionario se utilizó el Análisis Reticular de Coincidencias (ARC), que consiste una serie de técnicas que se utilizan para detectar cuáles sucesos son más frecuentes en un conjunto de escenarios y con qué otros sucesos tienden a ocurrir conjuntamente. Los resultados muestran que, en relación con el perfil de las empresas, estas son constituidas principalmente por capital panameño; se manejan con financiamiento propio; cuentan con poco personal y, en general, con escasa instrucción técnica y/o universitaria; en cuanto los resultados sobre las relaciones, debe indicarse que estas empresas tienen muy pocas relaciones entre ellas y demás entidades; que existe una baja motivación para ello, debido a la escasa divulgación, falta de leyes y normas relacionadas con los desechos tecnológicos, y una excesiva burocracia en los procesos administrativos. Es imprescindible establecer estrategias que permitan concientizar a la población, apoyar y capacitar a las instituciones, organizaciones y empresas dedicadas a la gestión de los residuos de aparatos eléctricos y electrónicos (RAEE) mediante el establecimiento de leyes que incentiven el tratamiento adecuado de este tipo de desechos.

Authors: Campines Barría Francisco Javier
Published: January 2024

El objetivo de este estudio es diagnosticar el uso de la red social Facebook como estrategia de marketing en las micro y pequeñas empresas del distrito de Santiago de Veraguas. La metodología empleada tiene un enfoque mixto, de tipo descriptiva. Su diseño es no experimental, de corte transversal. Se apoyó de una encuesta para recabar la información. La población estudiada estuvo conformada por 20 micros y pequeñas empresas delimitadas en comercios que ofrecen productos y servicios de electrónica. Por ser una población chica, la muestra está compuesta por el total de la población. Los resultados muestran que un 56% indican no utilizar Facebook como parte de sus estrategias de marketing en redes sociales. Por otra parte, un 44% señalan si utilizar esta herramienta como parte de sus medios para hacer mercadeo. En conclusión Facebook ha sido una de las redes sociales pioneras en cuanto a estrategia de marketing digital se trata, sin embargo como cualquier otro producto o servicio pasa por un ciclo de vida en el cual dependiendo del mercado va a estar en una etapa de crecimiento, madurez o declive y para el caso de las micro y pequeñas empresas de comercios de electrónica, esto ha ido en un proceso de desuso, ya que así lo muestran las estadísticas, volcando sus estrategias de marketing a otro tipo de redes que le resultan ser más efectivas a su negocio.
