La altertopía educativa como resistencia política
Authors: Esquirol y Calaf Joseph María
Published: January 2024

El cuidado de sí es cuidado de lo más humano de cada uno de nosotros. La convicción nuclear que lo rige es siempre la misma: que lo humano puede intensificarse y crecer. Y que el peligro reside siempre en la degeneración. Intensificar lo humano es ir hacia lo “más humano”. En absoluto se busca la “superación” o el “más allá” de lo humano. Este artículo es un intento de relacionar la lectura que hace Foucault del tema del cuidado de sí con la urgente necesidad de repensar hoy el lugar de lo educativo como lugar propio para ese cuidado. Para tal fin, se propone el concepto de altertopía educativa, como lugar, no solo de resistencia al dominio de la banalidad contextual, sino de gestación de la fuerza revolucionaria.

At present, the formation of a young scientist takes place in the conditions of intensive development of digitalization, prompt receipt of various information, dynamic changes in innovative technologies and opportunities for their use. The formation of predisposition to scientific research of university students begins to change, interest in scientific research and the performance of student science is falling. For this reason, a serious change in the situation is necessary, the implementation of systematization of the influence of socio-economic factors on the effectiveness of student science is required. Previous studies have shown that one of the important factors in attracting students to research work is the personality of the teacher, his scientific potential, scientific achievements and interest in research work. The main identified patterns of influence of socio-economic factors on the effectiveness of research activities in higher education institutions of the Republic of Kazakhstan are described. The authors emphasize the importance of the identified regularities for use in further research on the development of conceptual provisions for improving the research work of students. The article was prepared in the framework of grant financing agreement concluded with the Committee of Science of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan (IRN project 19676691).

Security indexes are the primary instruments that are used to analyze the circumstances of the financial market. A considerable proportion of a country’s total wealth is held in the form of investments in its stock market. If future stock market patterns can be accurately predicted, it may be possible for investors to optimize the returns they receive on their investments. Yet, as a result of nonlinearity and nonstationarity, it is difficult to accurately forecast financial data. The purpose of this investigation is to determine how well predictive machine learning models perform in relation to the stock market. This analysis makes use of daily close price data for the KASE index on the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange from March 2018 all the way through March 2023. In order to make accurate predictions, we use a total of four different machine learning algorithms. According to the findings, the deep learning model fares far better than the competition in terms of the accuracy of its predictions. In addition, the neural network approach and the random forest method are considered to be the best, while the support vector regression method is placed second. Criteria for evaluation include mean absolute error (also known as MAE), mean square error (also known as MSE), and root mean square error (RMSE).

Published: January 2024

This work aims to automate neonatal screening by integrating with Victor Perkin Elmer 1420 laboratory analyzer. Neonatal screening examines newborns to detect hereditary diseases for their further diagnosis and treatment. Screening helps prevent the development of severe conditions, which subsequently may lead to disability of the child, and is one of the most effective ways to identify common congenital and hereditary diseases. The genetic screening system is recognized to meet international standards, and since 2017 Kazakhstan has been an official member of the International Neonatal Screening Organization in the European group of ISNS. The automation of neonatal screening will eliminate the influence of subjective and human factors, as well as reduce the time of obtaining results and minimize human involvement in getting reliable information, which is achieved by automatic interpretation of the responses with the analyzer, with further transfer of data to the information system, where the construction of a grid of results occurs. The presented solution is introduced in industrial operation in 3 genetic laboratories in Almaty city (LLP «Center for molecular medicine»), Aktau city (RGP on PCV «Regional centre of mother and child» of Mangistau region), Ust-Kamenogorsk city («Regional centre of mother and child» of East Kazakhstan region)

Today, the industry, referred to as «mining», is rapidly gaining momentum. Cryptocurrency mining is the extraction of digital assets by performing computational work on specialized equipment using special software. On the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan, this industry has a great impact on the energy industry, since the operation of the above-mentioned equipment requires a huge amount of electricity to carry out the necessary calculations. Cryptocurrency mining activity is quite profitable at the moments of the peak value of cryptocurrencies. In Kazakhstan, cryptocurrencies are recognized as digital assets and are divided into secured and unsecured. Cryptocurrencies, as well as digital assets, are not suitable as a means of payment according to the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Consequently, the collection of taxes from entities engaged in activities related to cryptocurrencies is a rather complex process. This work was written in order to solve the problem of converting cryptocurrencies into the state currency, to open up the possibility of building a centralized system for monitoring cryptocurrency mining within the state in the future, the article describes the structure of exchanges and platforms that enable cryptocurrency owners to exchange cryptocurrencies for traditional types of currencies

With the rapid development of nanotechnology the urgency of the issue of increasing the efficiency of fine and ultrafine comminution of materials has increased. Nowadays, one of the most popular issues is to obtain a grinding product with a size of less than 20 μm for various technological processes. The purpose of the investigations presented in this paper is an increasing in the effectiveness of fine and ultrafine grinding process. To achieve this purpose, the authors of the article have analyzed new technical solutions to improve the efficiency of fine and ultrafine comminution. Based on the existing principles for improving the design of stirred mills, a new design of the so-called «rotor-vibratory mill» has been proposed. Using the finite element method, the efficiency of the proposed design of the mill with the support of computer simulation of the grinding process has been evaluated. The results of the investigations showed that the new design of the mill allows to increase the product fineness by 69...75% and decrease the time of the grinding process by 60...74% in comparison with existing analogues.

The aim of this work was to investigate the applicability of radial shear rolling method for deformation treatment of steel ingots containing cast structure defects. The radial-shift rolling (RSR) method is the most suitable for this purpose from the point of view of absence of restrictions on the billet length and realisable vortex flow of metal under conditions of favourable stress-strain state. An ingot with a diameter of 32 mm with an artificial transverse through defect was taken as the basic material. According to the results of the experiment, a 3D model of the final view of the defect cavity was built and the morphology of welding of its different zones was analysed. The volume of the defect was reduced from 620 mm3 to 380 mm3 . The experimental result showed that the RSR method is well suited for the closure of superficial defects with a depth of 1-3 mm. In the presence of axial defects, RSR method does not weld the defects, but stretches along the rolling direction changing the shape

. In order to find out the nature of the distribution of the stress state in the bottom-hole part of the massif and its effect on the development of cracks ahead of the face, the volume-stress state ahead of the faces of the preparatory workings was determined, and the nature of the zones of crack development (destruction) ahead of the face of the preparatory workings was determined, taking into account the cleavage of cracks in the array. As a result of the analysis of the zones of explosive destruction in the bottom-hole zone of the mine, it was revealed that the zones of crack development (destruction) in front of the mine face have an ambiguous character both in the height of the face and along each of the layers. This should be taken into account both when laying gas drainage wells and when drilling them. The development was carried out by the GPC tunneling combine from top to bottom. According to the regulatory documents, when carrying out the conveyor bremsberg, the current forecast of the emission hazard for the initial gas release rate and the output of the drill pin, as well as the forecast for the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the acoustic signal, is applied. To compare the effectiveness of methods for reducing the natural gas content of the D6 formation, comparisons were made of the results of the operation of reservoir degassing wells. The conducted studies allow us to identify a number of advantages of intensive degassing of the coal massif, directed along the course of production, in comparison with degassing by wells with drilling of the contour of future production.

Drivers and Constraints Affecting the Transition to Sustainable Farming Practices
Authors: Anwer Hassan
Published: January 2024

Farmers' decisions to use farming practices and their ability to advance the sustainability trajectory are influenced by many external forces, such as markets, public policy, science, technology, available knowledge and skills, and farmers' own values, resources, and land tenure arrangements.
A su vez, el mercado, la política y la estructura del conocimiento están influenciados por los esfuerzos de amplios movimientos sociales y grupos de interés organizados que tienen diferentes perspectivas sobre cómo debe organizarse la agricultura y cómo deben producirse y distribuirse los alimentos. Comprender los impulsores y las tendencias puede dirigir la atención de las políticas hacia dónde se pueden realizar cambios para influir en las decisiones de los agricultores para abordar eficazmente los desafíos In turn, the market, politics, and the structure of knowledge are influenced by the efforts of broad social movements and organized interest groups that have different perspectives on how agriculture should be organized and how food should be produced and distributed. Understanding drivers and trends can direct policy attention to where changes can be made to influence farmers' decisions to effectively address challenges.

¿Qué es la inseguridad alimentaria y cómo se mide en México? Implicaciones y nuevas perspectivas para la medición de la pobreza
Authors: Gaitán Rossi Pablo , Teruel Belismelis Graciela
Published: January 2024

La carencia alimentaria, una de las dimensiones de la pobreza multidimensional en México, utiliza la inseguridad alimentaria como base conceptual y de medición. La actualización de la medición de la pobreza en México abre la oportunidad para revisitar la inseguridad alimentaria, en parte, porque coexisten términos y estrategias de medición distintos que a veces derivan en prevalencias contradictorias y en conclusiones encontradas. El capítulo tiene tres objetivos: (a) precisar los componentes y dimensiones que definen la inseguridad alimentaria para explicitar qué aspectos cubre la medición actual y cuáles deja fuera; (b) describir la forma en que se mide la inseguridad alimentaria y las derivaciones que ha tenido en México para especificar las diferencias entre reportes y las nuevas oportunidades de medición; y (c) contrastar la prevalencia y las proporciones de las preguntas de inseguridad alimentaria en tres versiones de la escala y en tres encuestas poblacionales del mismo año, pero con diseños y objetivos distintos, para evidenciar las implicaciones de la decisión sobre cuál versión de la escala utilizar. Se concluye que la inseguridad alimentaria tiene sólidas bases conceptuales y de medición, por lo que se recomienda mantenerla. También se muestra que recurrir a una versión corta de la escala de inseguridad alimentaria, como actualmente ocurre con la versión mexicana, sistemáticamente subestima la pobreza en 2.5% y debería de reconsiderarse el uso de esta versión para, en su lugar, alinearse con estándares internacionales.
Calidad de la atención en los servicios de salud amigables para adolescentes: un estudio con usuarios simulados en tiempos de COVID-19 en el área metropolitana de Monterrey, Nuevo León
Authors: De Jesús Reyes David
Published: January 2024

Objetivo: Evaluar la calidad de la atención en los servicios de salud amigables para adolescentes en el Área Metropolitana de Monterrey (AMM), Nuevo León, en tiempos de contingencia sanitaria por COVID-19. Metodología: El estudio es de corte cualitativo. Se utilizaron técnicas de recolección de información como la observación, usuario simulado (un hombre y una mujer), 10 grupos de reflexión y 15 entrevistas a profundidad. Se visitaron en dos ocasiones 33 centros de salud del primer cuadro del AMM que incluyen el servicio amigable. Los instrumentos utilizados para recolectar información fueron una guía de observación, un cuestionario con preguntas abiertas y una tabla de evaluación tipo semáforo, el análisis de la información se realizó con la técnica de teoría fundamentada apoyados en el software Atlas.ti v8. Resultados: Se encontró que durante la contingencia sanitaria se interrumpió en 57% los servicios amigables; el principal motivo fue que éstos son considerados por el personal de salud como “servicios no urgentes”. Respecto a la evaluación de la calidad en las unidades de salud donde sí hubo atención destaca que el acceso es controlado por personal de seguridad, no de salud; el trato que recibieron los adolescentes fue calificado en general como malo debido a la falta de privacidad en consulta y al constante cuestionamiento negativo de la vida sexual del adolescente; la atención recibida en consultorio fue breve respecto al tiempo y limitada en información. Conclusiones: Los resultados ponen en evidencia que la amigabilidad de los servicios de salud para adolescentes son un principio que no ha logrado ser introyectado por el personal de salud, pues existe una enorme brecha entre lo que establece el modelo de atención integral a la salud sexual y reproductiva adolescente y la realidad, debido a múltiples barreras que limitan el acceso, trato y atención, ligadas a la falta de empatía y tacto para trabajar con adolescentes. Si a ello se suma la interrupción del servicio y las restricciones que el confinamiento por COVID-19 impuso, se habla de la existencia de una mala calidad en dichos servicios.
La experiencia social de las cuidadoras no remuneradas frente al cuidado de las personas mayores del estado de Coahuila. Aportes para la política pública
Authors: Castañuela Sánchez Blenda Guadalupe , Rangel Esquivel José Manuel
Published: January 2024

Hasta hace unas décadas el tema de los cuidados a través de la perspectiva de género se ha colocado en la mesa de las reflexiones y de la discusión desde la academia y desde las organizaciones sociales con miras a la igualdad y a la equidad de género en la región. Arroyo (2010) señala que la situación de las mujeres cuidadoras de ancianos refleja una realidad insuficientemente valorada y poco visible a la familia, a la sociedad, a las instituciones y a la política social. Ante este panorama se plantea el objetivo general de investigación que es justamente comprender la experiencia social del cuidado que llevan a cabo las cuidadoras de las personas mayores. La perspectiva metodológica que se toma en este estudio parte de una propuesta teórica analítica que se focaliza en los procesos de construcción de la experiencia de los sujetos. Es por ello que hemos considerado que la sociología de la experiencia de Dubet (2010) contiene el potencial analítico para comprender la experiencia social del cuidado. Los hallazgos empíricos nos muestran que la experiencia social del cuidado se ordena y articula desde las normas, las relaciones sociales, la subjetividad y las cualidades morales del cuidado.
La nueva política social en el marco de la Agenda 2030
Authors: Cardozo Brum Myriam
Published: January 2024

La sostenibilidad impulsada a nivel mundial por la Agenda 2030 requiere de un desarrollo armónico de los pilares social, económico y ambiental para mejorar las condiciones de bienestar actual, sin poner en riesgo la situación futura. México la ha asumido sin profundizar suficientemente en su impulso. Las políticas y programas públicos requieren de continuos ajustes que rescaten las acciones efectivas y modifiquen los desempeños no satisfactorios. En materia ambiental, los programas del sexenio pasado mostraron un deterioro considerable en el estado de los ecosistemas, la degradación de recursos naturales como el agua y un incremento en el número de conflictos ambientales. También hubo un descuido importante de la articulación de lo ambiental con la calidad de vida de los grupos sociales relacionados con los ecosistemas y ninguno de estos programas cuenta con evaluaciones de impacto que muestren su nivel de efectividad. En lo social, la falta de reducción de la pobreza, la permanencia de muy altos niveles de desigualdad, la persistencia de carencias en la alimentación y el limitado cumplimiento de los derechos sociales al final del pasado sexenio justificaron los profundos cambios propuestos por el gobierno actual. En consecuencia, este artículo hace una revisión documental para analizar la relación que existe entre los programas que componen la nueva política social del sexenio actual y su distribución institucional con la Agenda 2030. Adicionalmente, se analiza el caso del programa Sembrando Vida, que debería recuperar los tres pilares de la sostenibilidad. Se concluye que los nuevos programas se han concentrado principalmente en tres secretarías (Secretaría de Bienestar [Sebien], Secretaría de Educación Pública [sep] y Secretaría de Agricultura y Desarrollo Rural [Sader]), mientras la Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (Semarnat) no participa en ninguno, ni siquiera en Sembrando vida, a pesar de ser responsable del pilar ambiental de la Agenda 2030.
Política energética en la 4T: disputa, discontinuidad y consideraciones para una política social
Authors: Shaar Velázquez Luis Carlos , Flores Elizondo Rodrigo , Álvarez Partida Francisco
Published: January 2024

La política energética de la Cuarta Transformación (4T) se opone abiertamente a la reforma energética instrumentada en el sexenio anterior. El conflicto entrampa el desarrollo de la industria eléctrica nacional y arriesga su soberanía energética y su transición a energías limpias. En esta coyuntura se han dejado de lado dos temas medulares que enlazan la política social con la política energética: que hogares y pequeñas empresas tengan electricidad segura a precios razonables y que dicha energía sea generada de forma autónoma y limpia. Para los autores de este texto, la mejor opción es que las pequeñas unidades económicas y las viviendas generen su propia energía en un esquema conocido como generación distribuida y con la tecnología de sistemas fotovoltaicos. En el presente capítulo se retoman los puntos básicos de la política energética de la 4T que están en disputa y son una clara ruptura con respecto a la administración anterior. Se plantean propuestas para impulsar la generación distribuida por medio de las energías renovables. Se establecen los procesos críticos y el papel del gobierno a fin de lanzar una política social y energética conveniente para el medio ambiente, para la pequeña empresa, para los hogares e incluso para la empresa eléctrica del Estado.
The Longevity and Clinical Performance of Direct and Indirect Restorations, Including Amalgam, Composite, Ceramic, and Metal Restorations

The longevity of dental restorations depends on patient-related, dentist-related, and material-related factors. Patientrelated factors include restoration size, chewing habits, oral hygiene, and systemic conditions. Strength, wear resistance, water tolerance, dimensional stability, and colour stability are all material-related variables. When deciding on a course of treatment, dentists must take these things into account. Since the 19th century, dental amalgam, which is composed of mercury, silver, tin, copper, and other metals, has been used effectively. Although it has limits in terms of tooth colour matching, it is appropriate for Class I and II restorations. Amalgam offers good load-bearing qualities, wear resistance, and tolerance for various clinical conditions. Safety concerns include the release of mercury vapor and the possibility of localized allergic reactions. Resin-based composites are esthetic and safe materials used for anterior and small to moderate-sized posterior fillings. Postoperative tooth sensitivity and shrinkage-related issues can occur, but improvements have minimized these problems. Adequate field control is essential for successful placement. Indirect restorative materials include all-ceramic and base metal casting alloys. All-ceramic restorations provide excellent aesthetics, high strength, and biocompatibility. However, they rely on resin-based cements and adhesives for retention, and allergies can occur. Base metal alloys offer an economical alternative and are effective for crown-and-bridge restorations. The choice of restorative materials depends on various factors, and dentists must consider the specific needs of each patient to achieve successful outcomes.

Pulp capping is a dental procedure to treat deep caries and preserve the vitality of affected teeth. It involves placing a biocompatible material directly on the exposed pulp (direct pulp capping) or using a medicated liner to protect the pulp (indirect pulp capping). The choice of biomaterials, such as calcium hydroxide or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), significantly impacts the success of pulp capping. Patient-related factors, including age, oral hygiene, and systemic health conditions, influence treatment outcomes. Younger patients generally have better results due to higher pulp vitality and regenerative capacity. Maintaining good oral hygiene and managing systemic health conditions are crucial for long-term success. Complications and treatment failure can occur in pulp capping, depending on factors like cavity size, infection, and initial pulp condition. Early detection and intervention are important to prevent further issues. Success in pulp capping is assessed based on factors like continuous root development, preserved pulp vitality, minimal inflammation, and formation of reparative dentin. Success rates may decrease over time, and further research is needed to understand why. Understanding procedural techniques, biomaterial selection, patient-related factors, and complications are vital for informed decision-making, optimizing outcomes, and increasing the longevity of pulp-capped teeth

Diabetes mellitus is a long-lasting metabolic disease with a complex etiology. It is characterized by elevated blood sugar levels, which are marked by anomalies in insulin secretion, action, or both. Long-term hyperglycemia causes diverse microvascular and macrovascular diabetic complications, which are primarily responsible for the high morbidity and mortality associated with diabetes. Diabetes leads to significant ophthalmological complications among which diabetic retinopathy is thought to be the most frequent cause of blindness in people of working age, with diabetic macular oedema being the most frequent cause of impaired visual acuity among diabetics. The findings of several research studies suggest that the best way to prevent diabetic retinopathy from leading to blindness is through regular assessment and screening so any complications can be addressed as soon as possible. Furthermore, since early diabetic eye disease stages are asymptomatic, screening people with diabetes is essential. As a result, the primary care physician's involvement is essential for enabling an early diagnosis of this condition. Family physicians play an essential role in the early identification and prevention of diabetic retinopathy. They serve as the initial line of contact for managing diabetes and as referral sources when complications arise. The purpose of this research is to review the impact of family medicine on diabetic eye care, screening programs, referral patterns, and outcomes.

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of premature mortality globally. It is associated with significant morbidity and socioeconomic burden henceforth numerous initiatives have been taken to lower the risk in patients through preventive measures. The pathogenesis and progression of nearly all cardiovascular diseases are primarily caused by atherosclerosis and the association of cardiovascular disease risk to dyslipidemia is well-established since it increases the risk of cardiovascular events. Therefore, managing cholesterol, especially low-density lipoprotein, to reduce the burden of atherosclerotic plaque and, potentially, future cardiac complications, has been a key component of preventive measures. Due to its simplicity in dosage, lack of significant medication interactions, and favourable safety profile, statins have been the gold standard therapy for the treatment of dyslipidemia. However, the need for combined therapy arises when statin medication alone is insufficient to effectively reduce increased cholesterol levels. Ezetimibe is frequently added to regimens to support cholesterol reduction by preventing cholesterol absorption. Combinations of statin and ezetimibe may be a beneficial treatment choice for high-risk individuals who necessitate further lowering of cholesterol. Studies in the literature demonstrate that statin plus ezetimibe combined therapy is more beneficial and safer than high-intensity statin monotherapy, which implies that adding ezetimibe to statin should be favoured over increasing statin dose and that high-intensity statin is needed to be administered more carefully, especially in patients with related risks. The purpose of this research is to review the role of ezetimibe and statins in dyslipidemia patients.

When it comes to vision, there is a rare condition which has more potential to impair the vision, and this condition is called Traumatic optic neuropathy. Direct traumatic optic neuropathy occurs when there is direct physical trauma to the optic nerve, often due to penetrating injuries or fractures involving the bones around it. On the other hand, indirect (TON) is caused by blunt force trauma that is transmitted through the tissues or bones around the eye, leading to stretching, tearing, or damage to the blood supply of the optic nerve. Common causes of indirect (TON) include motor vehicle accidents, falls, assaults, and sports-related injuries. The mechanics, blood flow, and inflammation are all sequentially organized in Traumatic optic neuropathy. Mechanical factors disrupt the integrity of the nerve fibers and blood supply, vascular factors reduce the blood flow, and inflammatory factors activate processes that cause cell death within the optic nerve. The signs of (TON) can vary in presentation. Commonly involve a decrease in visual clarity abnormalities in the pupil's reaction to light visual field issues, changes in color perception, and alterations in the appearance of the optic disc. Diagnosing and managing (TON) can be quite challenging since there are no markers or reliable predictors of prognosis. In some cases, observation may be appropriate, while corticosteroids can be employed for their inflammatory properties and potential benefits to optic nerve blood supply. Surgical decompression focuses on relieving pressure or removing obstructions that are affecting the nerve.

Tooth loss, stemming from a variety of causes such as trauma, dental decay, gum diseases, and oral pathologies, extends its impact beyond physical discomfort, infiltrating psychological, functional, and aesthetic realms. Modern advances in dentistry provide an array of solutions for restoring partially edentulous mouths, tailored to individual patient needs. Options encompass removable partial dentures (RPDs), fixed bridges, and dental implants, each offering distinct advantages. RPDs, while a cost-effective choice, may face limitations with metal-based solutions due to poor mechanical properties and insertion challenges in undercut areas. Acrylic-based RPDs, while economical, can pose discomfort over time, failing to adapt to mouth contours. Flexible dentures however are a comfortable, adaptable alternative crafted from flexible thermoplastic materials like polyamides. These materials deliver strength, aesthetics, and biocompatibility, enhancing patient comfort and providing a natural appearance. This study taps into prominent medical databases like PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane, utilizing an extensive range of medical terminology combinations to yield insights valuable to dental professionals and researchers. The flexible denture materials, particularly polyamides, present a pioneering avenue for prosthodontics, delivering a fusion of strength and aesthetics. Characteristics like high creep resistance and solvent resistance confer wear resistance and strength, counterbalanced by challenges related to absorbency and thermal expansion. Patient satisfaction studies favor flexible dentures for functional comfort and cleaning, even though aesthetics exhibit varying perceptions, with some patients favoring their translucency and adaptability, while others express a preference for acrylic dentures.

Kidney stone disease, prevalent since ancient times, affects around 12% of the global population, with a higher incidence in males. Recurrence is common, and the formation of stones is influenced by genetic, metabolic, environmental, and structural factors. Ultrasonography, as the initial diagnostic tool, is noninvasive and radiation-free, making it suitable for initial evaluations. However, for more precise diagnosis, especially in complex cases, CT scans, including Dual Energy CT (DECT), are preferred due to their higher accuracy. This review also delves into the historical evolution of diagnostic methods, from the once-popular Intravenous Urography (IVU) to the advanced DECT, which offers detailed insights into stone composition. While each imaging modality has its advantages and limitations, CT scans remain the gold standard for their comprehensive analysis capability. The choice of imaging technique is influenced by factors such as stone size, patient characteristics, and clinical context. This review underscores the importance of personalized strategies in selecting the most suitable imaging modality for effective diagnosis and management of kidney stone disease.

Authors: Biswas Debapriya , Rajwar Ipsita
Published: January 2024

In this paper, we have investigated the projective action of the Lie group $\text{SL}(3,\mathbb{R})$ on the homogeneous space $\mathbb{RP}^2$. In particular, we have studied the action of the subgroups of  $\text{SL}(3,\mathbb{R})$ on the non-degenerate conics in the space $\mathbb{RP}^2$. Using the Iwasawa decomposition of $\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$, we demonstrate that the isotropy subgroup of the projective unit circle is isomorphic to  $\text{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ under certain conditions.
