Authors: Yu Xintong , Yin Ting , Mao Shiyong , Tang Weiding
Published: January 2025

Background: An increase in healthcare costs is the result of the significant hazards to patients associated with excessive blood loss during cardiac surgery and the subsequent need for transfusions. The implementation of effective blood conservation strategies may alleviate these issues. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the correlation between the utilization of anti-fibrinolytic agents and the outcomes of blood loss and transfusion requirements during cardiac interventions, with a particular emphasis on integrated blood conservation strategies. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional observational study, enrolling 242 patients who underwent elective cardiac surgery, which included valve replacements and coronary artery bypass grafting. The study contrasted the outcomes of patients who received standard surgical care and those who were administered tranexamic acid or aminocaproic acid as part of blood conservation efforts. Results: The results showed a significant reduction in the mean intraoperative blood loss (212.7 vs. 310.4 mL, p < 0.05) and transfusion volume (330.2 vs. 490.1 mL, p < 0.05) in patients who received anti-fibrinolytic agents. Furthermore, these patients experienced shorter hospital stays and lower rates of postoperative complications, such as infections and thrombotic events, in comparison to those who received standard care. Conclusion: The implementation of anti-fibrinolytic agents and other targeted blood conservation strategies may be advantageous in minimizing blood loss and transfusion requirements, which could potentially result in enhanced recovery metrics in cardiac surgery. In order to improve patient outcomes, these strategies should be incorporated into standard surgical protocols.

La política económica en los años de Alfonsín (1985-1986): la visión “cabildante” de la prensa católica
Authors: Rossi Ignacio Andrés
Published: January 2025

La revista Cabildo constituye una pieza histórica de vital importancia para analizar el pensamiento católico nacionalista de la Argentina durante el último cuarto del siglo XX. Los principales abordajes históricos y sociológicos en torno a esta publicación se han ocupado de los debates políticos, partidarios, programáticos e ideológicos culturales. Partiendo de la importancia de esos estudios, se pretende generar un aporte analizando la faceta económica que caracterizó a la revista entre 1985-1986, atendiendo a los debates que se produjeron en la economía nacional a partir de la implementación del Plan Austral, durante los años del gobierno de Raúl Alfonsín (1983-1989). En un contexto de crisis económica nacional y reestructuración capitalista internacional, los sectores nacionalistas católicos tradujeron importantes discusiones, debates y controversias en torno al devenir económico del país, que en gran medida antecedieron a los cambios de la década de 1990. Así, pudo observarse que los pensadores de Cabildo también contribuyeron a procesar discusiones político-económicas que hacían a las estrategias de desarrollo, a la resolución de los problemas económicos y al papel de los nuevos y viejos actores de poder. La principal hipótesis es que la revista asumía una postura económica que pendulaba entre las clásicas recetas de posguerra asociadas al nacionalismo y algunas adhesiones a las nuevas recetas como la exportación, las privatizaciones y la integración mundial, entre otras.
El ethos de la cultura mazahua: interpretación colectiva de los procesos de gestación, alumbramiento y puerperio
Authors: López Miranda Karla Paola
Published: January 2025

El presente trabajo pretende estructurarse a partir de la descripción del marco conceptual utilizado para dar cuenta de qué se entiende por ethos y de qué manera el ethos está ligado a procesos estructurales que construyen sentidos del mundo. Desde tal espacio, se busca dilucidar las formas invisibles que configuran las prácticas y los conocimientos propios de la cultura. Una vez claro lo mencionado, se delegará un apartado para ahondar en la organización social y cultural de la etnia mazahua, haciendo énfasis en la importancia de la residencia virilocal y los principios de matrimonio propios de la región, así como el papel preponderante que desempeñan las suegras para la conformación de la organización postmarital. Posteriormente, en el tercer apartado, se retoman prácticas mazahuas en torno a la gestación, a partir del uso del cashan hembra o macho, el embarazo, citando el uso de la hierba del to y sus principios de liberación de oxitocina, y el puerperio, vía la construcción de restricciones y normas de cuidado delegados a las parturientas. Con todos los elementos obtenidos hasta el momento será posible describir las propiedades estructurales en torno al embarazo, parto y puerperio dentro de la región mazahua, poniendo especial atención en la interacción que se crea entre la naturaleza y la feminidad, así como a los particulares que dan forma al ethos mazahua cimentado —desde lo que se argumenta en la presente investigación— por lo femenino.

If we want to fully exploit the potential of AI, we need to ensure that we have enough qualified experts who understand AI technologies and can apply them in practice. Universities play a key role in this process, as it is there that future experts are formed through specialized study programs focused on data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Educational institutions need to adapt their curricula to reflect the latest trends and needs of the labor market. Given the growing importance of artificial intelligence, it is important to understand what factors influence the number of AI specialists.
Methodology/methods In the article, we use the AI Watch dataset - the proportion of study programs in which advanced AI was included for bachelor's and master's degree programs. Other indicators are the average number of years of study (HDI sub-pillar), the values of the Education pillar from the Legatum Prosperity Index, and selected indicators from The Global AI Index. Indicators describe using descriptive statistics and histograms including kernel density function. We quantify mutual relationships using Pearson's correlation coefficient. We reduce the dimension of the data matrix using the principal components method. Finally, we identify groups of similar EU countries in terms of the examined indicators using cluster analysis.
Scientific aim The aim of the paper is to identify key educational factors that determine the availability of specialists in the field of artificial intelligence.
Findings We found that the education system is fundamental, but without supporting research and the ability to attract talent, countries may not reach the level where they can effectively produce excellent AI experts. Based on our results, we can say that the availability of AI specialists requires more than just creating study programs and connecting universities with practice.
Conclusions Countries must have a strong research base that enables the practical application of theoretical knowledge and the development of innovative AI solutions."

Authors: Alcazar Renz Kevin , Digal Santosh
Published: January 2025

Climate change is a reality felt across all sectors of society and in many countries. The Philippines, a developing country, has been cited as one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change even though several reports point to developed countries as major contributors of historical greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. With the release of the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), it was concluded that the global surface temperature will continue to increase and may exceed the 1.5-degree Celsius threshold. This makes climate change the most serious issue among other environmental problems and requires concerted effort from all levels of government, public and private sectors, and civil society. One of the crucial voices in the climate change discussions is the environmental activist groups. Multiple case studies of three mainstream and three grassroots environmental activist groups based in the National Capital Region (NCR) and provinces showed that they consult science and use media to communicate climate action in their online and on-the-ground campaigns. Their understanding of climate science allows them to perform their roles and functions and communicate effectively with other change agents such as the government, scientific community, industry, media, and ordinary citizens. They likewise use social media accounts to meet where their audiences mostly are and produce creative multimedia materials imbued with specific climate action messages. This study proves that environmental activist groups are critical sources of climate change-related messages. They demonstrate high value for research and social media as foundations for their communication strategies.

The experiment was conducted in pots under natural conditions, using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 13 treatments of fertilizer applied with 6 replications, totally 78 pot plants. The pot size is No.17 with 12 Kilograms of growing media per pot, The treatments included: T1 - No fertilizer (Control), T2 - Chemical fertilizer 25-7-7 (50 kg/rai, 1 rai = 0.16 ha), T3 - Chemical fertilizer 25-7-7 (100 kg/rai), T4 - Chemical fertilizer 16-8-8 (50 kg/rai), T5 - Chemical fertilizer 16-8-8 (100 kg/rai), T6 - Chemical fertilizer 15-15-15 (50 kg/rai), T7 - Chemical fertilizer 15-15-15 (100 kg/rai), T8 - HO-1 (50 kg/rai), T9 - HO-1 (100 kg/rai), T10 - HO-2 (50 kg/rai), T11 - HO-2 (100 kg/rai), T12 - HO-3 (50 kg/rai), and T13 - HO-3 (100 kg/rai). The test plant was 25-day-old Hang Kra Rok Phu Phan ST1 cannabis seedlings. The study was conducted from November 2022 to June 2023 in Moo 7, Wang Nok Aen Sub-district, Wang Thong District, Phitsanulok Province. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and means were compared using DMRT at 95% confidence level.The experimental results revealed that 1) Nutrient analysis: HO fertilizers (HO-1, HO-2, HO-3) contained moderate levels of N-P-K, high levels of secondary (Ca-Mg-S) and micronutrients (Fe-Cu-Zn-Mn), whereas chemical fertilizers lacked these secondary and micronutrients. HO fertilizers had slightly acidic pH (6.5-6.7), favorable for nutrient uptake. 2) Growing media analysis: before the experiment analysis showed high N-P-K and Ca-Mg levels, very low S, and low micronutrient levels. After the experiment, N decreased while other nutrients increased. HO treatments improved pH more than chemical fertilizers. 3) Water retention: HO fertilizers, especially T13 (HO-3, 100kg), significantly improved water retention capacity (from 26.1% to 29.9%). 4) Chlorophyll content: Increased with plant age, with T13 showing significantly higher levels at 30, 45, and 60 days after planting. 5) Growth parameters: Plant height, stem diameter, leaf number, canopy size, and branch number were highest in T13, T12, and T11, respectively, showing statistically significant differences. 6) Growth pattern: Chemical fertilizers promoted faster initial growth (first 30 days), while HO fertilizers demonstrated superior growth from 45-60 days. T13 (HO-3, 100kg) was identified as the most effective fertilizer for cannabis cultivation under outdoor conditions, demonstrating significantly greater growth than other treatments. The diverse nutrient composition and soil-enhancing properties of HO fertilizers contributed to more sustained cannabis growth compared to conventional chemical fertilizers.

The fracture of a part or element of a construction can also be defined as a macroscopic separation of the material that leads to the loss of a solid body load. The fracture is the end result of plastic deformation and occurs when all the potential of the material in terms of elastic and plastic deformation is exhausted. This is the worst case of engineering practices, as it can have great consequences for people and the environment.
The study of fractures and their causes began with numerous disastrous failures that caused apart from material damage and loss of human lives. These studies have been going on for years, but despite great knowledge, many of the causes of fractures have not been fully established till now. For this reason, research has led to the development of new methods and new testing procedures in conditions similar to exploitation conditions in order to minimize fracture, especially those sudden and unexpected. In this paper, a brief overview of the types of fractures, fracture testing and possible causes of fractures of metal parts during exploitation will be presented.

Understanding the biomechanics of smartphone addiction: The physical and cognitive impacts of prolonged device use on college students
Authors: Sheng Qiufang
Published: January 2025

The widespread use of smartphones, particularly among college students, has raised concerns about the negative impacts of prolonged device use on physical and cognitive health. While smartphones offer many conveniences, excessive usage can lead to a range of biomechanical and psychological issues, including posture-related strain, repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), eye strain, impaired cognitive function, and elevated levels of anxiety and stress. This study aims to examine the physical and cognitive impacts of prolonged smartphone use among college students, focusing on biomechanical strain, cognitive impairments, and psychological effects. It explores the relationship between smartphone addiction and its effects on posture, musculoskeletal health, eye fatigue, focus, memory retention, and mental health. The study was conducted with a sample of 37 college students in China. Data collection involved physical assessments, including posture analysis, musculoskeletal screening, and cognitive assessments, such as focus and memory tests. Mental health was evaluated using standardized surveys for anxiety, stress, and depression. Statistical analyses were used to interpret the data, including descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, correlation analysis, and multiple regression. The results indicated a significant increase in neck tilt angle, posture discomfort, and wrist strain over the study period, with higher smartphone usage correlating with worse physical outcomes. Cognitive performance, mainly focuses and memory retention, significantly declined with increased smartphone usage. In addition, elevated levels of anxiety and stress were observed among heavy smartphone users, with a strong correlation between high smartphone usage and negative psychological effects.

Background: Hyperuricemia, defined as elevated serum uric acid levels (>6 mg/dL in women, >7 mg/dL in men), affects approximately 38 million Americans, with rising global prevalence due to Westernized diets and lifestyles. While often asymptomatic, hyperuricemia is associated with gout, nephrolithiasis, and systemic conditions like hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease. It results from increased uric acid production, decreased renal excretion, or a combination of both. Aim: This article provides a comprehensive overview of hyperuricemia, focusing on its etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and management strategies, with an emphasis on gout and nephrolithiasis. Methods: The review synthesizes current literature on hyperuricemia, including its epidemiology, mechanisms, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment options. It also examines the role of dietary, genetic, and pharmacological factors in disease progression and management. Results: Hyperuricemia is primarily managed through lifestyle modifications and pharmacological interventions. First-line treatment includes xanthine oxidase inhibitors like allopurinol, while uricosuric agents and recombinant uricase drugs are reserved for refractory cases. Dietary education, particularly a low-purine, low-fructose diet, is crucial for prevention and management. Complications such as gout, nephrolithiasis, and chronic kidney disease require tailored interventions, including urate-lowering therapy and urinary alkalinization. Conclusion: Hyperuricemia is a multifactorial condition with significant implications for gout, nephrolithiasis, and systemic health. Effective management requires a combination of lifestyle changes, pharmacological therapy, and patient education. While asymptomatic hyperuricemia often does not require treatment, symptomatic cases necessitate individualized care to prevent complications and improve quality of life.

Background: Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) represent a diverse group of congenital disorders characterized by defects in the immune system. Distinguishing PIDs from secondary immunodeficiencies (SIDs) is critical, particularly in patients with hematological malignancies, as misdiagnosis can lead to inadequate treatment and poor patient outcomes. Methods: This review synthesizes case studies and recent literature to explore the clinical overlap between PIDs, SIDs, and hematological malignancies. A comprehensive search of national databases and clinical guidelines was conducted to analyze patterns in diagnosis, treatment strategies, and the implications of immunodeficiency in cancer prognosis. Results: Findings indicate that a significant proportion of patients with hematological malignancies also exhibit signs of immunodeficiency, complicating diagnosis. Case studies highlight instances where SIDs obscure underlying PIDs, particularly in patients treated with immunosuppressive therapies such as rituximab. The review underscores the importance of early immunological evaluation in patients with recurrent infections and malignancies. Conclusion: The differentiation between PIDs and SIDs is paramount for optimizing patient management and therapeutic interventions. Enhanced awareness and interdisciplinary approaches are essential in the timely identification of PIDs, particularly in patients presenting with hematological malignancies. Future research should focus on developing standardized screening protocols for immunodeficiencies in oncology settings to improve patient outcomes
