Enjeux définitionnels et scientifiques de la littératie algorithmique : entre mécanologie et rétro-ingénierie documentaire
Authors: DEUFF Olivier LE , ROUMANOS Rayya
Published: July 2022

Le but de cet article est de définir les bases d’une littératie algorithmique qui constitue une réponse aux phénomènes de traitement algorithmique des informations et des données. Comme ces traitements sont souvent opaques et potentiellement biaisés, la littératie algorithmique constitue un moyen de monter en compétences pour y faire face. Nous examinons le contexte de cette littératie, ses origines et ses proximités avec d’autres littératies, puis nous analysons les liens possibles avec des disciplines des sciences sociales qui étudient les algorithmes et leurs effets. Nous montrons l’intérêt d’associer cette littératie aux perspectives mécanologiques qui se réfèrent aux travaux pionniers du philosophe de la technique Gilbert Simondon, puis à ceux plus récents de Bernhard Rieder. Nous mettons en évidence l’importance de corréler cette littératie émergente à une documentation des processus se situant entre rétro-ingénierie et explication des traitements algorithmiques effectués par les écosystèmes numériques.The aim of this article is to pave the way for a new form of literacy called algorithm literacy, that enables users to identify and understand how algorithms work and to what extent they impact their daily lives. The goal of algorithm literacy is to help users acquire new skills to counter the recurrent problem of opacity and biases in algorithmic processing of data and information. We first examine the context and origins of this literacy and its proximity to other literacies. We then analyse the possible bridges that can be built with the many fields of social sciences that study algorithms and their effects. We demonstrate the importance of associating this literacy with the mecanological angle developed by Gilbert Simondon and, more recently, Bernhard Rieder. We then look at possible correlations that this literacy might establish with reverse engineering efforts to help understand the algorithmic processes at play.

Authors: Sadeghian Mahnaz , Torabi Ala , Torabi Sara , Vafadar Mehdi , Oladi Shahrooz
Published: July 2022

The use of tea plant extract has been reported to reduce viral complications, but its role in improving viral gastritis has not been investigated. The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the effect of green tea consumption in improving pediatric viral gastroenteritis. This clinical trial study was performed on children aged 12 to 17 years with diarrhea who were not treated within 48 hours of the onset of clinical symptoms during September 2019 to September 2020. The children were randomly assigned to a green tea leaf extract (GTE) tablet. The placebo group was considered as a control. Treatment (prescribing the tablets) was continued until a Bristol Stool Scale of 3 or 4 was obtained. Two groups were compared in terms of clinical symptoms. The complete and partial improvement was revealed in 63.2% and 31.6% respectively in the GTE group while only in 15.8% and 57.9% respectively in control group indicating a significant difference (p <0.001). The increase in the number of tablets led to higher improvement rate in response to GTE prescription. The mean hospital stay in GTE and control groups was also 1.66 ± 0.63 days and 3.36 ± 0.4 days indicated shorter hospitalization in former group (p < 0.001). The use of GTE leads to effectively improve the diarrhea as well as to reduce the hospital stay in children suffering viral gastroenteritis.

Organic petrography and thermal maturity of the Paskapoo Formation in the Fox Creek area, west-central Alberta
Authors: Ardakani O H
Published: July 2022

The Paskapoo Formation, which ranges in age from middle to upper Paleocene, is the major shallow aquifer in Alberta. This study is part of a larger GSC-led study on the potential environmental impact of hydrocarbon development in the Fox Creek area (west-central
Alberta) on shallow aquifers. Fox Creek is located near the northern limit of the Paskapoo Formation. In addition to the underlying organic-rich source rocks in the study area, including the Duvernay Formation that is currently exploited for hydrocarbon resources, the Paskapoo Formation contains
organic-rich intervals and coal seams. In order to investigate any potential internal hydrocarbon sources within the Paskapoo Formation, ninety-seven (97) cutting samples from the formation obtained from eight shallow monitoring wells (50-90 m) in the study area were studied for total organic carbon
(TOC) content, organic matter composition and thermal maturity of coal seams using programmed pyrolysis analysis and organic petrography.
The TOC content of all samples ranges from 0.2 to 8.8 wt. %, with a mean value of 0.95 ± 1.6 wt. % (n=97). The Tmax values of studied samples range from 347 to 463 °C, with a mean value of 434 ± 20 °C that suggest a range of thermal maturity from immature to peak oil
window. The random reflectance (Rr) measurement and fluorescence microscopy on eighteen (18) selected samples with TOC content > ~1 wt. % shows a mean Rr value of 0.27% and 0.42% for the overlying till deposits and the underlying shallow depth sandstone, siltstone, shale
and coal seams respectively, indicating a low rank coal ranging from lignite to sub-bituminous coal. Blue to green and yellow fluorescing liptinite macerals further confirmed the low maturity of studied samples. The low S2 yield of a large part of the samples (65%) resulted in unreliable Tmax
values that overestimated the thermal maturity.
Although the organic matter in the studied intervals are immature, exsudatinite, as secondary liptinite maceral, was observed in samples from the lower parts of the studied monitoring wells. Exsudatinite generally derives from the transformation of sporinite, alginite, resinite and varieties of
vitrinite, which is a resinous or asphalt like material. Considering the thickness and distribution of coal seams in the studied samples, it is unlikely the exsudatinite will be a major source for aquifer hydrocarbon contamination in the study area. Additional stratigraphic studies and molecular
geochemical analysis could provide an estimate of the total volume of possible organic compounds contribution to the aquifer in the study area. Due to the presence of coal seams in the studied intervals of the Paskapoo Formation, it is important to investigate the possibility of biogenic methane
formation in Paskapoo shallow aquifers.
Intubation with Vivasight Double-Lumen Tube Versus Conventional Double-Lumen Tube in Adult Patients Undergoing Lung Resection
Authors: Granell Manuel , Petrini Giulia , Kot Pablo , Murcia Mercedes , Morales Javier , Guijarro Ricardo , de Andrés José A.
Published: July 2022

Objectives:

The present study was designed to compare outcomes in patients undergoing thoracic surgery using the VivaSight double-lumen tube (VDLT) or the conventional double-lumen tube (cDLT).

Design:

A retrospective analysis of 100 patients scheduled for lung resection recruited over 21 consecutive months (January 2018–September 2019).

Setting:

Single-center university teaching hospital investigation.

Participants:

A randomized sample of 100 patients who underwent lung resection during this period were selected for the purpose to compare 50 patients in the VDLT group and 50 in the cDLT group.

Interventions:

After institutional review board approval, patients were chosen according to inclusion and exclusion criteria and we created a general database. The 100 patients have been chosen through a random process with the Microsoft Excel program (Microsoft 2018, Version 16.16.16).

Measurements and Main Results:

The primary endpoint of the study was to analyze the need to use fiberoptic bronchoscopy to confirm the correct positioning of VDLT or the cDLT used for lung isolation. Secondary endpoints were respiratory parameters, admission to the intensive care unit, length of hospitalization, postoperative complications, readmission, and 30-day mortality rate. The use of fiberoptic bronchoscopy was lower in the VDLT group, and the size of the tube was smaller. The intraoperative respiratory and hemodynamics parameters were optimal. There were no other preoperative, intraoperative, or postoperative differences between both groups.

Conclusions:

The VDLT reduces the need for fiberoptic bronchoscopy, and it seems that a smaller size is needed. Finally, VDLT is cost-effective using disposable fiberscopes.
Ethical and Clinical Dilemma from an Incidental Cardiac Lipoma in a Young and Healthy Patient
Authors: Barrera Llyod A. , Mondal Samhati
Published: July 2022

Incidental cardiac tumors are rare and mostly detected on autopsy as patients largely remain asymptomatic. However, diagnosis of an incidental cardiac mass on unrelated workup can pose significant ethical and clinical challenge to the care team. Surgical resection has been the most successful intervention for most primary cardiac tumors; which involves cardiopulmonary bypass-assisted major surgery and is not risk free. Cardiac lipoma is the second most common primary cardiac benign tumor. We report a case of a young otherwise healthy patient who had a cardiac lipoma on computerized tomography scan that was done to rule out kidney stone.

Published: July 2022

Background:

Clinical outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) patients have not been reported in the Gulf region.

Objectives:

To define the baseline electrocardiographic (ECG), echocardiographic, and computed tomographic findings of patients undergoing TAVI and analyze the predictors of developing new-onset persistent left bundle branch block (LBBB).

Methods:

Patients with severe aortic stenosis who underwent TAVI between 2013 and 2021 at the Sabah Al-Ahmed Cardiac Centre in Al-Amiri Hospital in the state of Kuwait were included in this study. Baseline characteristics, electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography, and preprocedural computed tomography data were extracted. The primary outcome was new-onset LBBB.

Results:

A total of 61 patients were included (65.6% females; mean age: 73.5 ± 9 years; baseline ejection fraction: 55.5% ± 9.7%). Of these, 18 developed new-onset LBBB. Those who developed LBBB tended to have lower ejection fraction (52.5 ± 9.6 vs. 56.8% ± 9.5%; P = 0.116). Those who developed LBBB were more likely to develop 1st degree atrioventricular block post-TAVI (P = 0.001).

Conclusion:

The incidence of new-onset LBBB post-TAVI was 29.5%. The new-onset LBBB group was more likely to develop conduction abnormalities requiring permanent pacemaker implantation.
Cardiovascular Research Mentorship Platforms
Authors: Ling Shum Yuki Ka , Tse Gary , Liu Tong , Baranchuk Adrian , Lee Sharen
Published: July 2022

Background:

There has been increasing awareness on the issue of underrepresentation in academic cardiology. However, to date, most mentorship programs are not designed specifically tailored for future careers in cardiology or cardiovascular medicine. We present our 6-year experience in running two research mentorship platforms, the International Health Informatics Study Network and the Cardiovascular Analytics Group.

Objective:

To study the underrepresentation in academic cardiology.

Methods:

Researchers were prospectively recruited into the mentorship programs between September 2015 and September 2021. A combination of online mentorship approaches was employed, including one-to-one mentoring (between faculty and students and between peers), group mentorship, and teaching sessions. Outcomes included the number of publications related to cardiovascular medicine, including those with student members in key authorship positions, and students serving as mentors. Female representation was assessed.

Results:

A total of 117 researchers from 19 countries were recruited between September 2015 and September 2021, leading to the successful publication of 164 research articles on cardiovascular medicine or epidemiology. Students participated in 80% of the articles (n = 131). At least one student served as the first author in 34% of the articles (n = 56; at least one female student as the first author in 48% of the 56 articles; n = 27), as the senior author in 7.3% of the articles (n = 12), and as a mentor in 15% of the articles (n = 26; at least one female student served as a mentor in 42% of the 26 articles; n = 11). Female researchers occupied one of the four key authorship positions in 43% of the articles (n = 70; 47 female first authors; 10 female co-first authors; 6 female co-corresponding authors; and 17 female last authors). There was a 12% increase in the percentage of females in key authorship positions between the periods 2016–2018 and 2019–2021, from 47% (n = 33) and 53% (n = 37) of the 70 publications having at least one female in key authorship positions, respectively.

Conclusions:

Online-based mentorship programs can promote the development of independent research and leadership skills in students, with a positive impact on diversity, gender equity, inclusion, and productivity in cardiovascular research.
Nurture Intervention on Neurodevelopmental Outcome among Pre-term Neonates
Authors: Hendricks Monica Rita
Published: July 2022

With scientific advances, the survival rate of pre-term babies has increased from 50% to 85%, but the quality of life, morbidity status and neurodevelopment outcomes still remain questionable. A high-quality mother–infant interaction facilitates the child's socio-emotional, behavioural, cognitive and physical development. Fostering nurture-maternal touch, eye-to-eye contact, vocal soothing, odour exchange and Kangaroo Mother Care, to those born too soon and are within neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) constraints forms the background of the research. This article demonstrates how Kathryn E Barnard's Child health assessment interaction model is applied to a nursing research that aims at understanding the effect of nurture on neurodevelopmental outcomes of pre-term neonates admitted to the NICU of a tertiary care hospital. The four main concepts of the model are discussed in terms of interdependency on each other. The theory also brings to the forefront the influence of each component on the outcome.

Authors: Angras Kajal , Charles Rachelle , Hatch Cherise , Movva Vani
Published: July 2022

Background:

Congenital unilateral lung agenesis is a rare condition in which there is complete absence of one lung, in addition to the associated bronchus and pulmonary vasculature. It can be an isolated finding or present in conjunction with cardiac, gastrointestinal, genitourinary and skeletal malformations. Due to the increasing physiological demands on the body during gestation and parturition, this condition poses significant risks in individuals with this condition

Case:

A 26-year-old G1P0 with known right lung agenesis was managed with a multidisciplinary approach by obstetrics, maternal–foetal medicine, pulmonology and cardiology specialists. The patient subsequently had an uncomplicated pregnancy and vaginal delivery

Conclusion:

Multidisciplinary care led to an optimal pregnancy outcome in a woman with congenital unilateral lung agenesis. Women with this condition with normal baseline function have a good prognosis in pregnancy.
Care or neglect of burs
Authors: Pooja H. R. , Nagar Priya , Mascarenhas Andrea Natalia , Krishna Shree C. H. Chandana
Published: July 2022

Background:

Burs are unique by virtue of their complex architecture which makes precleaning and sterilization difficult to achieve. Inadequate sterilization causes cross infection.

Aim:

The aim of the present study was to assess and compare the effectiveness of various sterilization methods of dental diamond burs commonly utilised in dental practice.

Methodology:

The current study was done to investigate the efficacy of four decontamination methods on fifty diamond burs. These burs were used among ten patients who were indicated for pulp therapy in primary deciduous molars. Access cavity preparation was prepared using dental burs and divided into five groups: Group I - being control group (unsterilized), Group II - Contaminated burs sterilized using 2% glutaraldehyde, Group III -Contaminated burs sterilized in autoclave, Group IV - Contaminated burs sterilized in ultraviolet steriliser, and Group V - Contaminated burs sterilized using 70% isopropyl alcohol. All the burs were immersed in the Brain − Heart Infusion broth, incubated for 24 h at 37°C to check the sterility of burs. Bacterial culture (Broth turbidity) was then measured for its optical density (OD) using the spectrophotometer. OD values reading were recorded and statistical analysis was done using Kruskal–Wallis test and Mann–Whitney's post hoc TEST.

Results:

Among all decontamination methods, 2% glutaraldehyde and autoclave showed the most significant change in microbial load compared to the other group at P < 0.001.

Conclusion:

Sterilization with 2% glutaraldehyde followed by autoclave of dental burs is the key step in achieving success in the endodontic procedures with less microbial load which determines the success of pulpectomy procedures.

Authors: Eslamian Ghazaleh , Sali Sohrab , Babaei Mansour , Parastouei Karim , Moghadam Dorsa Arman
Published: July 2022

Background: Malnutrition affects normal body function and is associated with disease severity and mortality. Due to the high prevalence of malnutrition reported in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the current study examined the association between malnutrition and disease severity in hospitalized adult patients with COVID-19 in Iran.Methods: In this prospective observational study, 203 adult patients with COVID-19 verified by real-time polymerase chain reaction test and chest computed tomography were recruited from those admitted to a university hospital in Iran. To determine COVID-19 intensity, patients were categorized into four groups. Malnutrition assessment was based on the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) and nutrition risk screening score (NRS-2002). An ordinal regression model was run to assess the association between malnutrition and disease severity.Results: In the studies sample of Iranian patients with COVID-19, 38.3% of patients had severe COVID-19. According to NRS-2002, 12.9% of patients were malnourished. Based on MUST, 2% of patients were at medium, and 13.4% of patients were at high risk of malnutrition. Malnutrition was associated with a higher odds of extremely severe COVID-19 according to NRS-2002 (odds ratio, 1.38; 95% confidence interval, 0.21–2.56; P=0.021).Conclusions: Malnutrition was not prevalent in the studies sample of Iranian patients with COVID-19; however, it was associated with a higher odds of extremely severe COVID-19.

Published: July 2022

In recent years, the number of leptospirosis cases, including the number of deaths, has exponentially increased in Malaysia. From June 2016 to February 2018, blood samples of 321 febrile patients with the presumptive diagnosis of dengue-like illness were examined for possible exposure to Leptospira. Two hundred fifty-five blood samples were tested as negative for dengue. Seminested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and IgM ELISA for leptospirosis were performed. From the samples, an overall prevalence for leptospirosis based on PCR of 4.7% (12/255) was obtained. Eighteen percent (46/255) were positive for anti-Leptospira IgM antibodies. The genome sequences of six of 12 Leptospira PCR-positive samples showed > 97.0% similarity to Leptospira interrogans. One patient’s sample consisted of Leptospira and chikungunya virus, suggesting a coinfection. Findings from the study suggest that leptospirosis is prevalent among dengue-negative febrile patients in Malaysia.

Authors: Yates Johnnie , Devere Todd , Sakurai-Burton Sharin , Santi Brock , McAllister Cali , Frank Kiana
Published: July 2022

Angiostrongylus cantonensis is an emerging parasite that is the most common cause of eosinophilic meningitis worldwide. Human infection typically presents with headache, neck stiffness, and paresthesia. We report a case of a woman with PCR positive A. cantonensis infection who presented with symptoms of small fiber neuropathy (SFN) but no headache. SFN was confirmed by skin biopsy. After failing standard medications for neuropathy, she was treated with intravenous lidocaine with considerable improvement. However, she required medications for 1 year to treat her chronic neuropathy. Infection by A. cantonensis should be added to the list of causes of SFN, and its potential to cause chronic sequelae should be appreciated.
Preliminary Investigation of the Effect of Chemical Sanitizers and UV-C Light on Listeria monocytogenes Biofilm Survivability
Authors:   1Food Science Institute, Kansas State University, 1530 Mid-Campus Drive North, Manhattan, KS 66506, USA, Trinetta Valentina
Published: July 2022

The ability of Listeria monocytogenes to adapt under different environments and form biofilms is a challenge for food safety. Mature biofilms are difficult to disrupt. Chemical sanitizers combined with nonthermal technologies might be an effective way to control L. monocytogenes biofilms. This study was conducted to investigate L.monocytogenes biofilm survival after treatments withchemical sanitizers and UV-C light alone or in combination. A Centers for Diseases Control and Preventionbiofilm reactor was used to grow 4-day-old multistrainL.monocytogenes biofilms on stainless steel. Biofilmsurvival was evaluated after 10 min of exposure tolactic acid (4%), peroxy acid (100 ppm), and quaternaryammonium (400 ppm) alone or in combination with 15 or30 min of exposure to UV-C light (254 nm). The sequential treatment effect was also evaluated. Reductions of2.6 to 3.6 log CFU/cm2 were observed with chemicalsanitizers, whereas a maximum of 1.8 log CFU/cm2reduction was recorded after UV-C treatment. Combinedtreatments had an enhanced effect, and the sequence ofantimicrobial treatments was significant for lactic acid and peroxy acid (P < 0.05). The results obtained in this research offer an initial understanding of the response of L.monocytogenes biofilm to chemical sanitizers and contribute to development of effective strategies to controlthis pathogen in the food processing environment.

Authors: Angela Parry-Hanson Kunadu Angela
Published: July 2022

Hygiene of processing facilities and process operations at wet markets, popularly known in Ghana as live bird markets, plays an important role in the safety of dressed poultry products. Compliance with good hygienic practices (GHPs) or good manufacturing practices is fundamental to improving and maintaining the safety and quality of poultry meat. This study assessed the level of compliance of live bird processing and retailing operations in wet markets in Ghana against GHPs. A total of 11 study sites in Accra were selected using cluster sampling. An audit checklist was designed based on the Codex Alimentarius Commission’s Code of Hygienic Practice for Meat (poultry) (CAC/RCP 58-2005) and the recommended international code of practice—general principles of food hygiene. Facilities that scored 90% to 100% were categorized as fully compliant, 70% to 89.9% indicated satisfactory, 50% to 69.9% indicated conditional satisfactory, and <50% indicated unsatisfactory. Results showed that none of the facilities audited were fully compliant; 9.1% were satisfactory, 63.6% were conditionally satisfactory, and 27% were unsatisfactory. The general performance shows a need for major to critical improvements in hygienic practices to meet GHP standards, which is the basic requirement for licensing food facilities in Ghana.

Published: July 2022

Polar microorganisms produce physiologically active substances to adapt to harsh environments, and these substances can be used as biomedical compounds. The green microalga Micractinium variabile KSF0031, which was isolated from Antarctica, produced phytol, a natural antimicrobial agent. Furthermore, several polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), including omega-3, exhibit antioxidant properties. Here statistical methods (Plackett-Burman design and Box- Behnken design) were used to optimize the culture medium of KSF0031 to improve biomass production, and K2HPO4, MgSO4·7H2O, and ammonium ferric citrate green (AFCg) were selected as significant components of the culture medium. Changes in the concentration of K2HPO4 and MgSO4·7H2O as positive factors and AFCg as a negative factor affected cell growth to a remarkable degree. The biomass production in a 100 L culture using the optimized medium for 24 d at 18°C was improved by 37.5% compared to that obtained using the original BG-11 medium. The quantities of PUFAs and phytol obtained were 13 mg g-1 dry cell weight (DCW) and 10.98 mg g-1 DCW, which represent improved yields of 11.70% and 48.78%, respectively. The results of this study could contribute to an improved production of phytol and fatty acids from Antarctic microalgae in the biomedical industry.

Hunting tourism, within hospitality framework, represents the provision of hosting and accommodation services, preparation and serving food and beverages in hunting tourism facilities, the organisation of hunting activities, as well as providing other hunting-related services to hunter-tourists. It is a tourist product of special importance which, unfortunately, has not been appropriately valorised. Revenues from hunting tourism are many times lower today than at the end of the last century. The authors present the state, perspectives, and normative regulation of hunting tourism in the Republic of Serbia with reference to the normative regulation in Germany and the Republic of Croatia. The conclusion is that the change of regulations in this area could contribute to the development and more successful performance of hunting tourism activities.
QUO VADIS CHF CASE – STANjE U REPUBLICI HRVATSKOJ 2022. GOD. … ILI KADA ĆE BANKE (I JOŠ NEKI) KONAČNO SHVATITI

Published: July 2022

Proceedings are pending before various domestic and international courts and the International Court of Investment Disputes (ICSID) in Washington, with both uncertain timing and content of the decision. Although it is true that relatively long time ago it was ruled on the nullity of banks' power to unilaterally change the interest rate and in this sense the partial nullity of credit agreements, as well as the nullity of the currency clause in CHF, new controversies have emerged over time (from the deadlines for suing onwards). The collective dispute (and the decisions in it) is not the only one in which what is known as the CHF case is decided, there are many individual cases, but also the mentioned arbitration before ICSID. Banks have (apparently irreversibly) lost their privileged position, but this has not led (at least not in large numbers) to out-of-court settlements, even when it is completely certain what the court decision will be. Banks can obviously suffer court costs, but they clearly favor postponing any payment, believing that it suits them better than the parties. However, banks are not the only ones who do not seem to have learned much. Even less has the state learned in the broadest sense of the word, a state that then, when it was most needed, when the whole problem arose, did absolutely nothing. Accepting the firefighter's vocabulary "did not put out a small fire until it became huge, catastrophic in every way."

At present, the global economy is in the process of establishing a new mechanism of integration in the fields of material production and services, which together with the liberalization of international trade relations at the global level, digital business transformation and new market trends, leads to greater control and regulation. market participants, especially in the field of service provision. The legal provisions governing the provision of services are increasingly influenced by the international legal regime, which significantly determines the further expansion of the capacity of national legislation. In this regard, the growing diversity of services causes various problems in defining and then in understanding the nature of services as well as in establishing a legal framework for their appropriate standardization. Such frameworks should regulate the ways in which services are provided in the global market. In this paper, we provide an overview of the regulatory support that the European Union determines and defines in the field of payment services

Computational intelligence and statistical learning applied to Coffea canephora

Published: July 2022

Genomic prediction in Coffee breeding has shown good potential in predictive ability (PA), genetic gains and reduction of the selection cycle time. Many methodologies are used to predict the genetic merit, but some of them require priori assumptions that may increase the complexity of the model. Artificial neural network (ANN) has advantage to not require priori assumptions about the relationships between inputs and the output allowing great flexibility to handle different types of complex non-additive effects, such as dominance and epistasis. Despite this advantage, the biological interpretability of ANNs is still limited. In the elaboration of this research project, two basic questions were formulated. The first question, is it possible to estimate genetic parameters using ANNs? The second, is it possible to reduce the panel marker size with no penalty in predictive ability? For this, the analyzes were divided into two articles. In the first article, the aim was to estimate the heritability and markers effects for two traits in Coffea canephora using an additive-dominance architecture ANN and to compare it with genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP). In the second article, the aim was to evaluate the trade-off between density marker panels size and the PA for eight agronomic traits in Coffea canephora using machine learning (bagging and random forest) algorithms and comparing them with BLASSO (Bayesian Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator) method. For both article, the data set consisted of 165 genotypes of Coffea canephora genotyped for 14,387 snp markers, after quality control analysis. For the first article the phenotypic data used was rust (Rus) and yield (Y). For the second article the phenotypic data is composed by vegetative vigor (Vig), rust (Rus) and cercosporiose incidence (Cer), fruit maturation time (Mat), fruit size (FS), plant height (PH), diameter of the canopy projection (DC) and yield (Y). In the first article we reduced the dimensionality of the data using bagging decision tree and then run 64,000 neural networks for each trait selecting the best architecture based on predictive ability for estimating the heritability, obtained results compatibles with those in literature. In the second article, 12 different density market panels were used to evaluate the effect of dimensionality reduction in PA. The common trend observed in the analysis shows an increase of the PA as the number of markers decreases, having a peak in most of the cases when used between 500 and 1,000 markers. In general, the worst results were obtained when used the full SNP panel density. The results of the second article indicate that the reduction of the number of markers can improve the selection of individuals at a lower cost. Computational Intelligence methods prove to be powerful tools for predicting genetic values, to estimate genetic parameters and to select markers. Keywords: GBLUP. BLASSO. BAGGING. Random forest.

Published: July 2022

O brincar heurístico na educação infantil se apresenta como uma abordagem de trabalho na creche que possibilita aos pequenos explorar e descobrir uma grande diversidade de objetos. A exploração dos objetos aguça o interesse do bebê e da criança bem pequena[1], estimula seus sentidos e sua compreensão em desenvolvimento. De acordo com essas considerações iniciais, esse trabalho tem, como objetivo, refletir sobre as contribuições do brincar heurístico com crianças das turmas de 1 e 2 anos do Centro de Educação Infantil Municipal (CEIM) Manoel Farias de Souza, em Linhares/ES, no período de pandemia da Covid-19. A metodologia utilizada consistiu em uma revisão bibliográfica do assunto em questão e a descrição do processo vivenciado com a experiência do brincar heurístico com bebês e crianças bem pequenas no contexto de pandemia da Covid-19. A implementação das sessões do brincar heurístico possibilitou vivências que enriqueceram a apropriação de novos conhecimentos pelas crianças por meio da investigação e exploração dos objetos. A experiência com o brincar heurístico possibilitou, ainda, um repensar sobre a prática educativa com bebês e crianças bem pequenas.

 

[1] Bebês é a nomenclatura que a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) utiliza para se referir às crianças com idade entre zero a 1 ano e 6 meses e crianças bem pequenas as que compreendem a idade entre 1 ano e 7 meses a 3 anos e 11 meses (BRASIL, 2017).

La enfermedad cerebrovascular isquémica en niños tiene una fisiopatología particular: a) embolismo desde el corazón o aorta; b) enfermedad vascular; y c) hipercoagulabilidad. Al inicio los síntomas son inespecíficos o puede haber signos neurológicos de focalidad. Un inicio agudo de signos neurológicos focales debe considerarse como de origen vascular hasta no demostrar lo contrario. El diagnóstico diferencial se realiza con otras enfermedades neurológicas que pueden presentarse con signos focales y que se llaman “imitadoras”. Presentamos nuestra guía de práctica clínica de diagnóstico y tratamiento de la enfermedad cerebrovascular isquémica en niños.

Como médicos, aprendemos que el principal objetivo de nuestra vida profesional durante las etapas iniciales y progresivas de la enfermedad es lograr la cura o remisión de la misma, para lo cual generalmente se requiere de tratamientos que en ocasiones pueden resultar cuanto menos agresivos, pero que son encarados por el paciente de una manera optimista, sin embargo cuando estas terapias dejan de ofrecer utilidad terapéutica, cuando los efectos adversos superan a los propios beneficios, o debido al avance de la enfermedad a etapas terminales o irreversibles; el objetivo del tratamiento cambia.

Published: July 2022

La endometriosis afecta entre el 5% y el 10% de la población femenina; se estima que alrededor de 170 millones de mujeres en todo el mundo padecen de esta enfermedad1. Cuando no es tratada, la endometriosis puede evolucionar y afectar a las trompas de Falopio o a los ovarios, dificultando el embarazo. Entre las personas afectadas, cerca de 30% a 50% pueden tener problemas para quedar embarazadas de forma natural2. Por lo tanto, es de gran importancia el detectar y comenzar oportunamente el tratamiento para evitar la evolución a fases más graves.
