Determinantes socioeconómicos de la desnutrición crónica en menores de cinco años: evidencia desde Ecuador
Authors: Albuja Echeverría Wilson Santiago
Published: September 2022

La desnutrición compromete el desarrollo físico e intelectual de la niñez acentuando la enfermedad y empobrecimiento intra e intergeneracional. Ecuador es el segundo país con mayor desnutrición crónica en menores de cinco años en América Latina y el Caribe. Pese a los recursos destinados, la desnutrición crónica no ha sufrido variaciones significativas en los últimos años, registrando incumplimiento de las metas nacionales. Este trabajo explora los determinantes de la desnutrición mediante un modelo logístico aplicado a la Ensanut 2018. Los resultados señalan que la edad, sexo y etnia indígena del niño son variables significativas, al igual que la estatura, índice de masa corporal y escolaridad de la madre. En el hogar, la presencia de menores de cinco años y el ingreso per cápita son variables relevantes. La altura sobre el nivel del mar, el acceso a servicios de agua y saneamiento, y de eliminación de basura por el servicio municipal son variables significativas. Es imprescindible que las intervenciones públicas incluyan acciones complementarias en torno al control médico de la mujer gestante y del niño; hábitos saludables y cuidado del niño; alimentación y nutrición; y cobertura de servicios básicos.

Moverse entre lo local y lo global: Activismo transfronterizo, migración y derechos humanos entre Chiapas y Guatemala
Authors: Pirker Kristina
Published: September 2022

Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación sobre dinámicas e interacciones transfronterizas de organizaciones de derechos humanos y comunitarias en la frontera México-Guatemala que defienden demandas y necesidades de las personas migrantes, y realizan incidencia política y social en ámbitos transnacionales, nacionales y subnacionales. Tomando como referente empírico la red binacional Mesa de Coordinación Transfronteriza Migraciones y Género que desde el 2010 conecta parroquias, organizaciones defensoras de personas migrantes y albergues en la región central y occidental de Chiapas y Guatemala, con Organizaciones No Gubernamentales (ong) en la Ciudad de Guatemala y la Ciudad de México, el artículo busca responder a las preguntas, ¿qué significa trabajar en red para el activismo transfronterizo y transnacional? ¿De qué manera se articulan diferentes niveles de la acción colectiva para que la red sea operativa? En el plano teórico, el trabajo busca mostrar de qué manera el intercambio entre teorías de acción colectiva y el campo de los estudios de migración pueden generar nuevas líneas de investigación sobre derechos humanos y gestión migratoria, así como renovar marcos teórico-metodológicos que permiten trascender el nacionalismo metodológico en el estudio de los movimientos sociales.

Authors: Romero-Aguilar Lucero , Luqueño-Bocardo Oscar Ivan , Guerra-Sánchez Guadalupe , Matus-Ortega Genaro , Pablo Pardo Juan
Published: September 2022

La oxidasa alterna (AOX) es una metaloproteína monotópica que se encuentra unida a la cara interna de la membrana interna mitocondrial. Esta enzima cataliza la transferencia de electrones del ubiquinol al oxígeno con formación de agua como uno de los productos. Cuando la vía citocrómica se inhibe por la presencia de cianuro u otros agentes xenobióticos, la AOX permite el flujo de electrones del NADH al oxígeno y, por tanto, la actividad catabólica y anabólica del ciclo de Krebs. La AOX se encuentra en plantas, hongos, algunos protistas y metazoarios primitivos y se le ha atribuido la capacidad de conferir osmoprotección y resistencia al estrés oxidativo en las células. En esta revisión, se analiza la estructura de la enzima, se aborda su participación en la respuesta ante el estrés osmótico y oxidativo en hongos, su influencia en la síntesis de ATP y la regulación de su expresión genética.
Fertilidad en vacas lecheras tratadas en la fase lútea temprana con un dispositivo intravaginal liberador de progesterona reutilizado
Authors: Meneses Arias Graciela , Rivera Acuña Fernando , Horacio Montaldo Hugo , Ramírez López Martha , Hernandez Ceron Joel
Published: September 2022

Probamos si el tratamiento en la fase lútea temprana con un dispositivo intravaginal liberador de progesterona (DIV) reutilizado incrementa el porcentaje de concepción (PC) en vacas lecheras. Se realizaron dos experimentos; en el primero, se determinaron las concentraciones de progesterona en vacas tratadas con un DIV reutilizado. Siete vacas recibieron PGF2α y se insertó durante siete días un DIV reutilizado. Se determinaron diariamente las concentraciones de progesterona, las cuales se incrementaron de 0.42 ± 0.17 ng/ mL (media ± desviación estándar) al momento de la inserción del DIV a 1.99 ± 0.52 ng/mL a las 24 h y a 2.11 ± 0.40 ng/mL a las 48 h; la concentración promedio fue de 1.4 ± 0.55 ng/mL. En el segundo experimento, 383 vacas se asignaron el día cuatro posinseminación a dos tratamientos: DIV (n = 188), recibieron un DIV reutilizado, el cual se retiró el día 14; Testigo (n = 195), no recibieron dispositivo. Se determinaron las concentraciones de progesterona en siete vacas de cada grupo. El PC no fue afectado por el tratamiento [DIV (33.5 %) vs Testigo (37.4 %); P > 0.05]. No se observó interacción del tratamiento con el número de servicio, número de parto, tipo de puerperio (normal o patológico), condición corporal o días en leche (P > 0.05). Las concentraciones de progesterona fueron similares entre los tratamientos (P > 0.05). Se concluye que la inserción de un DIV reutilizado en la fase lútea temprana no aumenta las concentraciones de progesterona ni incrementa el PC en vacas lecheras.

Authors: Mukherjee Bholanath T. , Sainik Shyambabu K.
Published: September 2022

Abstract: The study of microwave absorption and thus reflection loss in Ku band has received much attention recent years. 12 – 18 GHz microwave frequency band mainly used for tracking of military objects through radar i.e stealth technology of aircraft anti radar detection and wireless, satellite communication applications. Carbon nanomaterials (80-90 nm) decorated with metal nanomaterials (40-50 nm) were synthesized from plant-based precursors using Taguchi optimization methodology. The samples under study showed reflection loss to the extent of -37.11 dB at 14.31 GHz and -34.78 dB at 17.76 GHz whereas, -5 dB RL was observed throughout the Ku band frequency range and importantly in most cases the samples showed -10 dB loss for 1 GHz bandwidth in the 14-15 GHz and 17-18 GHz frequency range. Thus, the synthesized materials could be a good microwave absorbing candidate for particularly 14-15 GHz and 17-18 GHz microwave frequency range bandwidth.

De 128 rebaños, 71 de caprinos, 32 de ovinos y 25 mixtos (caprinos + ovinos), se recolectaron 768 sueros individuales de animales ≥1 año de edad. De cada rebaño 4 a 5 muestras de suero fueron mezcladas y analizadas por ELISA para identificar anticuerpos contra la glucoproteína 135 del LvPR. Las muestras se obtuvieron de animales seleccionados al azar en los años 2019 y 2020. Se aplicó un cuestionario a los productores y los datos se analizaron para determinar los factores de riesgo asociados a la seropositividad del rebaño mediante regresión logística. La proporción de rebaños seropositivos en general fue estimada en 50.6 %. Acorde al tipo de rebaño la seropositividad en rebaños caprinos fue de 62.0 %, en ovinos de 25.4 % y de 50.2 % en rebaños mixtos. Los factores de riesgo asociados a la presencia de anticuerpos contra el LvPR fueron presencia de animales con artritis, asistencia veterinaria, reutilizar agujas, alteraciones nerviosas, bajo índice de preñez, tipo de rebaño y mastitis. La frecuencia serológica indica una alta endemicidad del LvPR en rebaños de pequeños rumiantes del noreste de México.
Agnikarma Intervention for Avabahuka (Frozen Shoulder): A Systematic Review
Authors: Kumar Mahesh , R.K Shinde , Reena Jaiswal
Published: September 2022

The Avabahuka is a common Vatavikar (disorder due to Vatadosha) described in ancient Ayurvedic literature like the Charak Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, Ashtanga Hridaya, etc. The Avabahuka disease affects Ansha sandhi (shoulder joint) and its clinical features are closer to the frozen shoulder (FS) of a modern musculoskeletal disorder, which is a common shoulder disorder. Synovial inflammation occurs in FS, followed by capsular fibrosis. The shoulder joint becomes gradually painful and stiff with a reduction in range of motion. Numerous treatment modalities are available for the treatment of Avabahuka as well as frozen shoulder. Traditional and surgical approaches are in practice, but each one has its limitations. Agnikarma, the intentional therapeutic heat burn therapy is an Ayurvedic treatment modality practice for the treatment of Avabahuka. The aim and objective is to prepare a comprehensive literature review of the subject. The study design is systematic literature review. The related article was searched in Ayurvedic text books and on the web. The matters were also searched on google scholar, PubMed, chochrane library, scopus library etc which are available. The thorough study of searched available matters, drafted, analysed and then draw a conclusion. The review suggests that the Agni karma intervention is an effective treatment modality in Avabahuka disease. This review is appraisal of available matters and is very helpful for researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceuticals companies who are involved or plan the work in particular subjects. Summarily this systematic review shows that the Agnikarma is helpful for the management of Avabahuka by virtue of heat and its vata and kaphashaamak nature. Agnikarma improves rasarakta circulation by its ushna (hotness), sukshma(penetration) and ashukari(fast acting) quality. Some more research studies are desired for experimental and clinical validation.

Published: September 2022

Ageing is a natural process accompanied with compromised good health. Pneumonia is associated with several independent risk factors, including the severity of clinical presentation, age, comorbidities, and specific pathogens which increase the burden of morbidity, mortality in aged patients. This study was carried out to assess the appropriateness of therapy for pneumonia in elderly patients. A prospective, observational study was conducted from July 2018 to June 2021 in the department of pulmonary medicine of a tertiary care teaching hospital in Bangalore, India. A total of 90 elderly patients aged >65 years, diagnosed with pneumonia who fulfilled study criteria and consented to take part in the study were enrolled. A well designed and internally validated case report form was used to document the findings after a due approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee. Socio-demographic characteristics, prescribed medications and clinical characteristics were documented and analyzed. Out of the 90 elderly patients, 25.6% were male while 75.4% were female. The mean age of the participants was 70.03±5.26 (SD) years. Applying tools like START/STOPP criteria, Beers criteria and MAI index, it was found that, 16.7% were received incorrect dose, 12.22% received drug duplication, 3.3% received drug which was not indicated, 2.2% received drug which was not effective for that condition and in 1.1% patients did not receive drugs for required duration. The findings from this study provide the feedback to the healthcare team to ensure rational management of pneumonia in elderly patients and enable this vulnerable population with improved health related quality of life.

Endophytic fungi have been perceived as a potential source of bioactive secondary metabolites. Whereas Rhizopus as the endophytic fungi were isolated from the medicinal plant Abutilon indicum (L) sweet under the family Malvaceae found in tropical areas. This work aims to isolate and identify the fungal endophyte Rhizopus sp. from the medicinal plant Abutilon indicum at the molecular level, and the second objective is to test the Plant Growth Promoting activity like Indole Acidic Acid A, Hydrogen cyanide, Phosphate solubility (PO4), Catalase test, and it is the proof for plant endophyte association, lastly to analyse the extract of Rhizopus in phytochemical and pharmacology activity using Gas chromatography and Mass spectrometry study. The isolated fungal plant growthpromoting activity like Indole acetic acid production, Phosphate solubility assay, HCN production and Catalase enzyme synthesis was tested. As compared to IAA, PO4 solubility assay, HCN and Catalase synthesis test culture gave positive results. It described endophytic fungal within-hosts that are actively responsible against pathogens and stress tolerance conditions. Isolated fungal culture was able to synthesize catalase enzymes and HCN compounds. Rhizopus can act as a Phyto stimulator, broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, increased stress tolerance capacity and also can increase the water availability in the nutrition supply to the host plant. In the qualitative screening test, there are about 12 phytochemicals that showed positive results. It gives the effort of the plant to act as a defensive mechanism against pathogens.

Implementing landscape genetics in molecular epidemiology to determine drivers of vector-borne disease: A malaria case study
Authors: Hubbard Alfred , Hemming-Schroeder Elizabeth , Afrane Yaw , Yan Guiyun , Lo Eugenia , Janies Daniel
Published: September 2022

This study employs landscape genetics to investigate the environmental
drivers of a deadly vector-borne disease, malaria caused by Plasmodium
falciparum, in a more spatially comprehensive manner than any previous
work. With 1,804 samples from 44 sites collected in western Kenya in
2012 and 2013, we performed resistance surface analysis to show that
Lake Victoria acts as a barrier to transmission between areas north and
south of the Winam Gulf. In addition, Mantel correlograms clearly showed
significant correlations between genetic and geographic distance over
short distances (< 70 km). In both cases, we used an
identity-by-state measure of relatedness tailored to highly-related
individuals in order to focus on recent gene flow that is more relevant
to transmission. To supplement these results, we also performed
conventional population genetics analyses, including Bayesian clustering
methods and spatial ordination techniques. These revealed some
differentiation on the basis of geography and elevation and a cluster of
genetic similarity in the lowlands north of the Winam Gulf of Lake
Victoria. Taken as a whole, these results indicate low overall genetic
differentiation in the Lake Victoria region, but with some separation of
populations north and south of the Winam Gulf that is explained by the
presence of the lake as a geographic barrier to gene flow. We recommend
similar landscape genetics analyses in future molecular epidemiology
studies of vector-borne diseases to extend and contextualize the results
of traditional population genetics.
A unified creep life prediction method and fracture mechanism for different notch acuity ratios round bars of high-temperature alloys under multiaxial stress state
Authors: Zhang Dongxu , Lv Menghui , Li Xiaowen , Liang Jianwei , Wang Jiapo , Wen Zhixun
Published: September 2022

This paper proposes a unified creep rupture life prediction method based
on continuous damage mechanics under multiaxial stress state. Instead of
the traditional method, this method can calculate the skeletal point
location for different size of notches in a uniform way. We also
conducted creep tests on Ni-based superalloy round bar specimens with
different notch parameters, which verified the accuracy of the method.
Meanwhile, we carried out creep rupture mechanism analysis for different
notch sizes by combining finite element simulation with experiment,
which analyzed the stress, damage, and explained the void growth based
on triaxial stress.

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific complication with long-term negative outcomes for offspring including increased susceptibility to type 2 diabetes (T2D) in adulthood. In rat Reduced Uteroplacental Perfusion Pressure (RUPP) model of chronic placental ischemia, maternal hypertension in conjunction with intrauterine growth restriction mimics aspects of preeclampsia and resulted in female embryonic day (e)19 offspring with reduced β-cell area and increased β-cell apoptosis compared to offspring of Sham pregnancies. Decreased pancreatic β-cell area persists to Postnatal Day (PD)13 in females and could influence whether T2D develops in adulthood. Macrophage changes also occur in islets in T2D. Therefore, we hypothesized that macrophages are crucial to reduction in pancreatic β-cell area in female offspring following chronic placental ischemia. The macrophage marker CD68 mRNA expression was significantly elevated in e19 and PD13 islets isolated from female RUPP offspring compared to Sham. Postnatal injections of clodronate liposomes into female RUPP and Sham offspring on PD2 and PD9 significantly depleted macrophages compared to animals injected with control liposomes. Depletion of macrophages rescued reduced β-cell area and increased β-cell proliferation and size in RUPP offspring. Our studies suggest that the presence of macrophages is important for reduced β-cell area in female RUPP offspring and changes in macrophages could contribute to development of T2D in adulthood.
Can a Bayesian belief network for survival prediction in patients with extremity metastases (PATHFx) be externally validated in an Asian cohort of 356 surgically treated patients?

Published: September 2022

Background and purpose: Predicted survival may influence the treatment decision for patients with skeletal extremity metastasis, and PATHFx was designed to predict the likelihood of a patient dying in the next 24 months. However, the performance of prediction models could have ethnogeographical variations. We asked if PATHFx generalized well to our Taiwanese cohort consisting of 356 surgically treated patients with extremity metastasis.Patients and methods: We included 356 patients who underwent surgery for skeletal extremity metastasis in a tertiary center in Taiwan between 2014 and 2019 to validate PATHFx’s survival predictions at 6 different time points. Model performance was assessed by concordance index (c-index), calibration analysis, decision curve analysis (DCA), Brier score, and model consistency (MC).Results: The c-indexes for the 1-, 3-, 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-month survival estimations were 0.71, 0.66, 0.65, 0.69, 0.68, and 0.67, respectively. The calibration analysis demonstrated positive calibration intercepts for survival predictions at all 6 timepoints, indicating PATHFx tended to underestimate the actual survival. The Brier scores for the 6 models were all less than their respective null model’s. DCA demonstrated that only the 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-month predictions appeared useful for clinical decision-making across a wide range of threshold probabilities. The MC was < 0.9 when the 6- and 12-month models were compared with the 12-month and 18-month models, respectively.Interpretation: In this Asian cohort, PATHFx’s performance was not as encouraging as those of prior validation studies. Clinicians should be cognizant of the potential decline in validity of any tools designed using data outside their particular patient population. Developers of survival prediction tools such as PATHFx might refine their algorithms using data from diverse, contemporary patients that is more reflective of the world’s population.
REGULATIONS FOR MOSQUE AND MUSHALA VOICES IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF THEMATIC INTERPRETATION ON VOICE RULE IN WORSHIP
Authors: Setiawan Muhammad Andi , Dahliana Yeti
Published: September 2022

Indonesia is a multicultural nation. With the condition of the pluralistic Indonesian society, tolerance is an attitude that must be instilled in order to create harmony between communities. Recently, there has been a polemic regarding the issuance of the Circular Letter of the Ministry of Religion Number 05 of 2022 concerning Guidelines for the Use of Loudspeakers for Mosques and Prayer Rooms by the Minister of Religion Muhammad Yaqut Chalil Qoumas. The purpose of this study is to find out the issue of regulating the use of loudspeakers in terms of using the glasses of Mufassir in Indonesia such as Buya Hamka, M. Quraish Shihab and Muhammad Hasbi ash-Shiddieqy. What is the meaning of tolerance in the Qur'an from the perspective of Indonesian commentators and the regulation of the use of loudspeakers in mosques and prayer rooms. This type of research is a qualitative research using a literature study (library research). The approach used is the character thematic approach. The primary data sources are the book of interpretation of al-Azhar by Buya Hamka, the book of interpretation of al-Misbah by M. Quraish Shihab and an-Nuur by Muhammad Hasbi ash-Shiddieqy. While the secondary data sources are the results of interpretive research on the concept of tolerance and the use of loudspeakers in the Qur'an and other scientific writings.Considering the rules for using loudspeakers for mosques and prayer rooms, the issuance has a good purpose to realize environmental comfort and religious tolerance. So this is in line with what is taught in Islam regarding tolerance, namely mutual respect and openness to existing differences in order to achieve the common good and avoid damage. In this case, lowering the voice in the use of loudspeakers is a form of Islamic tolerance that has been reflected.

Ingestion of a foreign body (FB) is a common accident among children. The majority of ingested foreign bodies are eliminated spontaneously and few of them leads to some rare but serious complication such as complication that requires urgent surgical management. In this article we report the case of an accidental nail ingestion in a 2 years old child complicated with a duodenal perforation. Emergency surgical care was performed, with nail removal and duodenal primary closure. The follow-up was uneventful and the recovery was smooth.
The Western Framing of the Female Captive: A Hermeneutic Study of Captivity in Morocco
Authors: El Bakkali Abdelaaziz , Ghourdou Tayeb
Published: September 2022

The study of the Western consumption of the female captive remains central to the circulation of cultural and social constructions in the mainstream visual and literary texts. Due to the massive upsurge of such constructs, the hermeneutic study of the existing images about captivity in the East has stipulated new perspectives into the production of these substantial messages that determine genuine challenges to the preexisting canonical view of cultural representations. As many scholars have advanced critics about the female images in many narratives, Western cinema has shown significant portraits of the female which draws an orientalist design of a discursive discourse, introducing extreme exoticness of both pleasures and destruction. With the promise to deconstruct the captive portraits of the female identity, this paper discusses the circulation of such images, explaining why they exist, offering some solutions, as well as offering an analysis of their possible impact on the public. Given the damaging misperceptions that exist as a result of their circulation and consumption, this paper fills a much-needed research gap by asking the following research questions. How does the circulation of these images reproduce issues of femininity and captivity? How do visuals reinvent the literary tradition to depict the female captive in the orientalist discourse? By answering these questions, the paper attempts to examine the issue of representation by adopting a cultural studies approach, relying specifically on qualitative content analysis to reveal alternative possibilities of some of the Western perceptions. The rationale behind this approach lies in the fact that cultural studies bash to study all aspects of cultures without canonizing some artifacts at the expense of others.

The DETECT2000 program with a unified surface model was used. The process of light transfer (“fate”) by light photons was traced from the moment of appearance in the scintillator to the moment of passing through its exit window. The light collection coefficient was determined as the ratio of the number of photons that passed through the exit window to a given number of emitted photons. Different values of the number of emitted photons, optical transparency coefficients and fractions of the surface diffuse reflection were set. Multiple repetitions of the simulation process for a different set of properties made it possible to evaluate the precision and type A uncertainty of simulating the light collection coefficient for all possible options. It is shown that the uncertainty decreases when the statistics of the emitted photons is increased, and increases when the transparency and diffuse reflection fraction are decreased.

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo hacer una revisión de los trabajos realizados sobre los sistemas de calefacción pasiva y establecer cuáles son las estrategias pasivas de calentamiento más óptimos que han logrado una mejora en el confort térmico interior en las viviendas alto andinas en el Perú. Se realizó una revisión de artículos de la literatura científica especializada en el área de sistemas de calefacción pasiva aplicados a viviendas alto andinas en la sierra del Perú que se encuentran ubicadas dentro del rango de 3 000 a 5 000 msnm de altitud, que se caracterizan por tener un clima frio y además estar expuestos al problema de las heladas propias de dichos lugares. Los resultados de estos artículos muestran que los sistemas o estrategias de calefacción pasiva más eficientes lograron un aumento en la temperatura interior de 9,5°C en promedio, no siendo esto lo suficiente para alcanzar el confort térmico en viviendas altoandinas, pero que si resultan propicias porque logran mejorar la sensación de bienestar de los usuarios.
Desarrollo, medios públicos y políticas latinoamericanas de comunicación
Authors: Hernández Alfonso Eduardo Alejandro , Paz Enrique Luis Ernesto
Published: September 2022

Las dinámicas de concentración de la propiedad en los medios de comunicación constituyen una muestra de poder en las sociedades latinoamericanas y de apego a una concepción de desarrollo economicista. Por ello, las expresiones críticas de los grupos sociales que reclaman verse representados en el diseño de los mensajes son obviadas o minimizadas. Se plantea como objetivo del presente estudio: 1) identificar las expresiones del desarrollo desde los medios públicos de comunicación en Latinoamérica. El presente estudio clasifica como descriptivo con carácter teórico y documental. Se identifica que los medios de comunicación del continente ejercen influencia en las relaciones económicas y políticas de los estados donde se desarrollan. La concentración en la titularidad de los medios no solo ha actuado en detrimento de las experiencias de comunicación pública sino en las posibilidades de pluralismo en los contenidos y de participación de las audiencias en los procesos productivos. Se concluye que la principal consecuencia ha recaído en la homogenización de las realidades que se representan en los medios, dado que cotidianamente se anula la interculturalidad y las necesidades de información, educación y entretenimiento de amplios segmentos de la población representadas en las audiencias.
Repolitizar la mirada. La desobediencia estética en la guerra de guerrillas de sentidos
Authors: Galindo Aguilar Isabel
Published: September 2022

This article assumes that the symbolic dispute that arose in our continent after the colonial occupation can be analyzed as a guerrilla war of the senses, in which there is a series of multisituated narratives that confront the dominant discursive regime. The representation from that regime is fixed as an immovable truth, where the subject that has been colonized is constructed from the racializing stereotype with the intention of undermining its possibility of insurrection. The objective of this text is to show how the narratives that we call disobedient repoliticize the gaze when confronting this dominant discursive regime, and we do it from an approach to the semiotic-discursive analysis of the narrative productions of: the Empolleradas and the Quipu Project of Peru, Benvenuto Chavajay of Guatemala, Eriberto Gualinga de Sarayaku, Ecuador, Francisco Huichaqueo of Chile and Bruno Varela of Mexico.
El arte como forma de conocimiento. La experiencia estética en las prácticas culturales en la ciudad
Authors: Fragoso Susunaga Olivia
Published: September 2022

This work seeks to expose the problem of art as a form of knowledge and its relation to aesthetic experience. It is not the purpose of this work that we develop the concepts of cultural practices or their aesthetic functioning, nor is it that we realize the situation in which this phenomenon is found. The starting point is the assumption that art is a form of knowledge and that this form of knowledge can be acquired in aesthetic experience. However, deciding on these ideas means facing opinions that start from different principles, approaches that postulate that phenomena such as dance, music, poetry, painting, are experiences but not knowledge. In this sense, this work seeks to answer the questions of what is understood by knowledge. And how can the image of art be understood as a form of knowledge.

Introdução: A esquistossomose mansônica, causada pelo parasito Schistosoma mansoni, tem o homem como hospedeiro definitivo e como hospedeiros intermediários moluscos, pertencentes ao gênero Biomphalaria. A transmissão da doença ocorre em ambientes hídricos dulcícolas, habitados por moluscos das espécies B. glabrata, B. straminea e B. tenagophila, que liberam cercárias na água. Caso os humanos entrem em contato com o meio aquático pode ocorrer a contaminação. Para o controle desta parasitose é extremamente relevante a identificação das espécies de moluscos para a determinação da epidemiologia de uma área. Objetivo: Identificar áreas de risco para transmissão de S. mansoni no Município de Lagoa da Prata-MG, através do levantamento da malacofauna e identificação das espécies de moluscos. Metodologia: Foram realizadas coletas de moluscos no período de setembro de 2017 a maio de 2018, na lagoa da Praia Municipal, na lagoa do bairro Palmeiras e no córrego Chico Silveira. As coletas foram efetuadas com auxílio de pinças metálicas e puçá, os moluscos foram transportados para o laboratório de Microscopia do UNIFOR-MG, onde foram mensurados e identificados através de aspectos morfológicos. Resultados: Foram coletados 1961 exemplares de moluscos, destes 46,51% pertenciam a espécie B. straminea, 32,69% B. glabrata, 15,5% Physa marmorata, 3,67% Melanoides tuberculata, 0,87% Drepanotrema anatinum e 0,76% Lymnaea columella. Conclusão: No Município de Lagoa da Prata-MG, foram encontrados moluscos do gênero Biomphalaria sp., transmissoras da esquistossomose, o que torna estes locais como áreas de risco para transmissão da doença.

JEDNO REŠENJE LANCA-BLOKOVA
Authors: Kuprešanin Tamara , Popović Miroslav
Published: September 2022

Lanac-blokova u poslednje vreme pri­vlači sve veću pažnju širom sveta zbog svog potencijala da obezbedi sigurnost i verifikaciju za različite vrste podataka pomoću decentralizovane mreže koja se ne može izmeniti. Iako je ova tehnologija prvobitno služila za kriptovalute, vremenom je našla primenu u različitim oblastima, od zdravstva, transporta do umetnosti. U ovom radu je predstaljena implementacija lanca-blokova, u Python-u, koja omogućava stvaranje i verifikaciju trans­akcija, njihovo dodavanje u blokove, koji se zatim među­sobno digitalno povezuju. Eksperimentalni rezultati, koji su predstavljeni, pokazuju način na koji porast broja čvorova u mreži utiče na porast broja dodatih transakcija po sekundi u lanac-blokova.
