Authors: Flórez Carlos A. , Etter Andrés
Published: October 2023

Se presenta una caracterización ecológica del paisaje terrestre de las islas Múcura y Tintipán del Archipiélago de San Bernardo (Depto. de Bolívar). Mediante fotointerpretación, caracterización de campo e implementación de SIG, se elaboró un mapa en el que se diferencian 11 Unidades de Paisaje (UP). La Isla Tintipán presenta la mayor diversidad de UP (11) entre las que dominan las unidades de manglar (253 ha, 64 %); las unidades restantes corresponden a cimas de terrazas coralinas con vegetación secundaria de Bosque Seco Tropical (BST) y cultivos de coco que muestran diferentes niveles de transformación antrópica. La Isla Múcura, presenta 6 UP dominadas por vegetación secundaria de BST y cultivos de coco sobre suelos de origen calcáreo (31 ha, 82 %). Ambas islas han sido impactadas por la extracción de madera desde hace muchas décadas. Actualmente las actividades humanas incluyen la extracción de leña, agricultura extensiva, asentamientos permanentes e incremento en la presión turística.

Published: October 2023

Introducción: el uso de plantas medicinales es parte de la cultura tradicional de muchas poblaciones alrededor del mundo, se utilizan para prevenir enfermedades y preservar la salud de los individuos, siendo un conocimiento que conservan las madres y abuelas para el cuidado de la primera infancia. Sin embargo, existen muchos vacíos en la investigación con respecto al uso y propiedades de plantas medicinales en lactantes y población general. Objetivo: analizar y describir las prácticas y creencias con el uso ancestral de plantas medicinales en lactantes de la comunidad raizal en San Andrés Isla. Materiales y métodos: estudio cualitativo descriptivo etnográfico aplicado a una muestra por conveniencia de ocho abuelas de la comunidad Raizal de San Andrés Isla. Se realizó la descripción y el análisis de las ideas, prácticas sociales, comportamientos, creencias, significados y conocimientos en torno al uso de plantas medicinales en lactantes. Resultados: aún se conservan los conocimientos ancestrales con el uso de plantas medicinales liderado por las abuelas. El uso de plantas medicinales en lactantes se rige únicamente por la necesidad de manejo de situaciones de salud. En esta investigación se encontraron 23 ejemplares de plantas medicinales de uso en lactantes, de estas son pocas las que se encuentran registradas en el vademécum colombiano de plantas medicinales. Discusión: los hallazgos concuerdan con los resultados de otros estudios que evidencian la importancia de la tradición cultural en el cuidado de los lactantes, el protagonismo de la experiencia acumulada de las abuelas en estos saberes y prácticas; además de corroborar que el uso de plantas medicinales en lactantes se rige únicamente por la necesidad de cuidado ante situaciones de salud que lo ameritan. Solo dos ejemplares de las plantas medicinales clasificadas por las mujeres raizales de este estudio se encuentran referenciadas en el vademécum colombiano de plantas medicinales. Conclusiones: las plantas medicinales abordan un amplio espectro de usos y propiedades que necesitan un extenso estudio para su registro y divulgación.
Procedural rights of a lawyer in criminal proceedings and means of ensuring them
Authors: Gladysheva O. V.
Published: October 2023

Ensuring the rights of participants in criminal proceedings is the most important direction of the science of criminal procedure and the literature pays attention to a variety of aspects. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the hypothesis of the need to include lawyers in the number of participants in criminal proceedings, whose rights need no less degree of security than the rights and legitimate interests of persons directly interested in the outcome of the criminal case. No less important than ensuring rights is ensuring conditions for the proper performance of duties, which is demonstrated by the example of performing the functions of a lawyer to protect the principal from criminal prosecution. The conducted research is aimed at solving such tasks as revealing the essence and demonstrating the legal and social significance of the right to provide qualified legal assistance, identifying procedural problems accompanying the right to receive this assistance, and proposing individual ways to solve these problems. The research methodology includes traditional scientific methods of obtaining and processing data: dialectical, analytical, synthesized, comparative legal, systemic and system-functional. As a result of the study, theoretical conclusions were formulated about the natural relationship between the right to provide qualified legal assistance and the right to receive it, the content and nature of the lawyer’s procedural capabilities were clarified and the position on expanding the scope of procedural support was substantiated, not limited to the rights of participants in criminal proceedings, but extending it to the conditions of execution their assigned duties, Practical steps are also proposed to optimize the means of ensuring the procedural rights and duties of a lawyer in criminal proceedings.

Prognostic values of urea/lymphocyte and LDH/lymphocyte ratios for predicting mortality in COVID-19 patients
Authors: Satilmis Dilay , Yildiz Egemen , Cevik Erdem
Published: October 2023

Objective: Serum biomarkers are important for accurately predicting clinical outcomes in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. Although previous studies showed that lymphopenia in patients is related to disease severity, it is unclear how other serum biomarkers improve the prognostic accuracy of lymphopenia. Changes in urea, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were noted to have considerable predictive value in determining the severity of disease in COVID-19 patients. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine whether increases in urea, and LDH are linked to worse outcomes in COVID-19 patients and whether the urea/lymphocyte and LDH/lymphocyte ratios improve the prognostic accuracy of lymphopenia.
Methods: The data of confirmed COVID-19 patients in our emergency department (ED) between March 2020, and January 2021, were analyzed retrospectively. The area under the curve (AUC) and logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate the discriminative power of the urea/lymphocyte and LDH/lymphocyte ratios in estimating 30-day mortality.
Results: The study included 795 confirmed COVID-19 patients admitted to the ED. Twenty-three patients (2.9%) died, and 772 (97.1%) survived in 30 days. The median age of the patients was 51. The number of males (n: 447, 56.2%) was higher than females (n: 348, 43.8%). The ratios of urea/lymphocyte and LDH/lymphocyte were significantly higher in non-survivors (median: 71.21 and 754.1, respectively) compared to survivors (median: 19.51 and 297.42, respectively) (P<0.001). The AUC for 30-day mortality for the urea/lymphocyte and LDH/lymphocyte ratios was 0.864 and 0.840, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression adjustment found the urea/lymphocyte ratio to be an independent and significant predictor of mortality (P=0.007). The optimum cut-off point for the urea/lymphocyte ratio was 28.07, which had a 91.3% sensitivity and a 68.6% specificity.
Conclusion: The urea/lymphocyte and LDH/lymphocyte ratios are useful markers that can be evaluated independently to identify high-risk patients and predict the prognosis of COVID-19.
The effects of forced air warming system on the hemodynamic status, pain intensity, tremors, nausea and vomiting in candidates of emergency laparotomy patients: a double-blind randomized clinical trial
Authors: Rousta Fariborz , Nazari Mahdi , Mohammadipour Anvari Hassan
Published: October 2023

Objective: During emergency laparotomy surgeries, a wide incision is usually created in the abdomen causing the exposure of visceral organs to cold temperatures in the operation room. Other factors such as excessive stress, intra-operation blood transfusion, and prolonged anesthesia increase the risk of hypothermia in these patients. In this study, we studied the effects of forced air warming systems on the hemodynamic status, pain intensity, tremors, nausea and vomiting in emergency laparotomy patients.
Methods: In the present double-blinded clinical trial, 80 candidates for emergency laparotomy were randomized into two groups: intervention (patients receiving forced air warming during anesthesia) and control (patients without an active warming system). Patients’ hemodynamic status (during anesthesia and at post anesthesia care unit (PACU), pain intensity, opioids received, tremors, nausea, vomiting, and antiemetics administration were compared between the two groups.
Results: The amounts of opioids (P=0.041) and relaxants (P=0.039) received by the patients were significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group. The hemodynamic status was more stable in the patients of the intervention group than those in the control group at all times measured. Pain intensity (per minute) at the PACU was significantly higher in the control group than in the intervention group (P=0.041). Among the patients admitted to the PACU, participants with no tremors (P=0.005) or nausea (P=0.005) were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group. Also, in the recovery unit, patients in the intervention group received significantly lower amounts of opioids (i.e., mg of pethidine, P=0.036) and antiemetics (P=0.011) compared to the control group.
Conclusion: The use of a forced air warming system in the operation room stabilizes the hemodynamic status and reduces the pain intensity, tremors, nausea and vomiting in emergency laparotomy patients. As a non-pharmacological strategy, this method was observed to have satisfactory safety.
Currency rate and the Cycle of Money theory
Authors: Challoumis Constantinos
Published: October 2023

The current paper explains the fundamental concepts of CM theory (Cycle of Money Theory or otherwise known as Cycle Money Theory). The theory of the Money Cycle examines an economy as a whole, therefore the structure of the economy and the distribution of money in the economy is evaluated in terms of how they interact. An economy with a high index of the money cycle indicates prosperity. The current paper demonstrates that tax evasion causes a delay in tax revenue. Tax evasion, on the other hand, has caused economic harm to the economy because money is stored for tax havens rather than the local banking system. Inflation is the economic disease of the inadequate structure of the economy, because of the not appropriate distribution and reuse of money. Functionality (economic activity) and structure of the economy are connected through the way that money moves in an economy or is lost from it. The currency rate in this paper is analyzed based on the theory of the Cycle of Money.
Does stock market take into consideration football players’ injuries?
Authors: Mrhari El Mehdi , Hasssouni Mohammed
Published: October 2023

Injuries are a frequent risk in sports. This article analyses the repercussions of football players’ injuries on the market returns of six European clubs: Ajax, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester United, Olympique Lyonnais, Benfica and Juventus over a period of three years. The originality of this study comes from the absence of scientific articles in this field. Based on the event study methodology, the results indicate that the sensitivity of stock prices to injuries is very low. Furthermore, the results show that the date of injury is a significant variable causing the effect on returns (Borussia Dortmund). However, injury severity, player status and COVID do not influence the price share.
Effect of Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) Extract on Survival, Growth Performances, Immune Responses and against Aeromonas hydrophila of Snakehead Fish (Channa striata)
Authors: To T.T. Hong , Lan T.T. Phuong , Sinh N.T.
Published: October 2023

Background: The high density of farmed snakehead fish and the expansion of the farming area might cause a negative impact on water environment and an increased frequency of fish diseases. The use of plant-based extracts has been promised as an alternative method to antibiotic application in the controlling of fish diseases. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Pleurotus ostreatus extract on survival, growth, immune responses and against Aeromonas hydrophila of snakehead fish (Channa striata). Methods: During 2021-11 to 2022-10, the P. ostreatus extract was prepared using hot water method and the fish fed diets supplemented the extract at 0.0 g kg-1, 1.5 g kg-1, 2.5 g kg-1, 3.5 g kg-1 and 4.5 g kg-1 was examined for survival rates, growth responses, white blood cell count, respiratory burst activity and mortality rates of fish in A. hydrophila infection. Result: The results indicated snakehead fish fed five different diets showed no significant differences in survival and growth performances. However, the innate immune parameters were likely increased in fish fed diets supplemented P. ostreatus extract and the diet supplemented extract at 4.5 g kg-1 could reduce the accumulate mortality of snakehead fish challenged with A. hydrophila. P. ostreatus extract could be a promising material for enhancing the innate immunity of snakehead fish and can protect fish from A. hydrophila infection.

Published: October 2023

PICO question 
In dogs diagnosed with SNA, does inclusion of debridement in the treatment protocol improve clinical outcomes compared to dogs treated without debridement? 
 
Clinical bottom line 
Category of research question  
Treatment  
 
The number and type of study designs reviewed 
No papers that directly addressed the PICO were reviewed. Four retrospective case series which partially addressed the PICO question were discussed in the appraisal.
 
Strength of evidence  
Zero.  
 
Outcomes reported  
None.  
 
Conclusion  
No conclusions can be made based on the current level of evidence, however the studies discussed in the appraisal suggest that there may be an association between the inclusion of debridement in the treatment protocol for SNA and an improved clinical outcome. Undertaking further higher-level studies (comparative, blind, prospective, randomised) would be required to confirm this. Ethical implications would not preclude such studies, for there is evidence that treatment protocols including topical deposition of antifungal agents alone are efficacious.
 
How to apply this evidence in practice
The application of evidence into practice should take into account multiple factors, not limited to: individual clinical expertise, patient’s circumstances and owners’ values, country, location or clinic where you work, the individual case in front of you, the availability of therapies and resources.

Typomorphism of x-ray structural characteristics of gold (exemplified by placers and ore occurrences of the Timan-Northern Ural region)
Authors: Glukhov Yu. , Makeev B. , Sokerin M. , Efanova Lyudmila
Published: October 2023

The results of the study of native gold of the Timan-Northern Ural region using X-ray diffraction analysis (Debye-Scherrer diffractometric method, single crystal registration) have been presented. It was established that the structural characteristics of gold were different depending on the nature of gold-bearing objects. The structure of typical placer gold was an aggregate of randomly distributed microcrystallites. In this case, only solid annular lines of reflexes of the planes of the crystal lattice of gold were visible on the photodebagrams. The formation of this microcrystalline structure in gold was conditioned by exogenous mechanical deformations resulting from its occurrence in dynamic environments (water, wind activity, etc.). The structure of the autigenic gold of ore occurrences was characterized by a suboriented ordering of crystals (texturization). On the photodebagrams of this gold, intermittent dashed lines and nodes of reflections from the planes of the crystal lattice of the metal were observed. The frequency of occurrence of gold with this structure on primary ore objects varied from several units to several tens of percent. According to the authors, the findings of native gold with the structures of the ordering of its grains as part of accretions or aggregates of microcrystallites were a sign of the extreme proximity of this gold to its root source, which was important at predicting of gold content and searching for gold deposits.
Mathematic modeling of farmer household income in Singosari Village, Tanggamus District
Authors: Ariyanto Komang
Published: October 2023

Farmers engage in various sectors (agriculture and non-agriculture) to earn income in order to meet their diverse household needs. Based on various pieces of literature, the agricultural sector serves as a gauge for the income level of rural farming households and provides a greater contribution than the non-agricultural sector. The purpose of this research is to analyze the mathematical modeling of household income among farmer households and to assess the contribution of the agricultural sector to households in Singosari Village, Tanggamus Regency.  This study employs a quantitative method with a case study approach. The population in this study consisted of 464 heads of households, from which a sample of 30 households was selected. The respondents in this study were farmer households, and data were collected through surveys using questionnaires, documentation, and literature studies related to the mathematical modeling of income and the contribution of the agricultural sector to people's livelihoods. Data processing was conducted using SPSS software version 26, assisted by Microsoft Excel, and data analysis was performed using a simple linear regression model. The findings of this study indicate that, in Singosari Village, the agricultural income variable significantly influences the household income variable, as determined from the significance value of the simple linear regression results.Keywords: Agricultural income, household income, mathematical modeling, simple linear regression, singosari farmersMSC2020: 62P25
Gender differences in the association between nonstandard work schedules and work-family conflict: A mixed methods analysis in France
Authors: Lambert Anne , Quennehen Marine , Segú Mariona
Published: October 2023

Objective: This study aims to examine the association between nonstandard work schedules and time-based work–family conflict (WFC) among employed parents. Taking a gender perspective, it further considers whether job and family resources mediates this association.
Background: The recent increase in nonstandard work schedules has proportionally affected women more than men in various EU countries. Previous research has established a link between nonstandard work schedules and WFC. However, limited attention has been given to directly investigating time-based WFC and exploring the factors that drive gender-specific effects.
Method: Employing a mixed methods design, we use cross-sectional data from a large-scale French Working Conditions survey and qualitative interviews with couples who work nonstandard schedules.
Results: Quantitative findings demonstrate that nonstandard work schedules increase time-based work–family conflict for women more than men. Early morning and evening work disrupts socially valuable time for women, while weekend work negatively affects both genders. Lack of family support explains a significant portion of the association, with work schedule unpredictability being crucial for women. The qualitative findings shed light on the gender-specific generation of perceptions regarding time-based WFC among couples and the interaction of job and family resources in their daily lives.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that a comprehensive understanding of the gendered interferences between family and work dynamics is vital for informing policy decisions, reducing gender inequalities, and enhancing workers’ wellbeing.

Results:  Four themes emerged from the qualitative interviews and focus groups: 1) honoring local wisdom as the heart of a regional wellness tourism program; 2)  the integration of historical traditions and regional lifestyles into a wellness tourism program; 3) the need for government supportive policies that help to fund community wellness initiatives to boost the local economy and tourism ;and 4) attention needed to improve the quality of life for the local communities while promoting wellness tourism in the region.
Conclusion: This community-based participatory action research approach created a synergy among stakeholders from multiple provinces in the lower north region of Thailand.
Drug resistance in glioblastoma: from chemo- to immunotherapy
Authors: Sharma Sachin , Chepurna Oksana , Sun Tao
Published: October 2023

As the most common and aggressive type of primary brain tumor in adults, glioblastoma is estimated to end over 10,000 lives each year in the United States alone. Stand treatment for glioblastoma, including surgery followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy (i.e., Temozolomide), has been largely unchanged since early 2000. Cancer immunotherapy has significantly shifted the paradigm of cancer management in the past decade with various degrees of success in treating many hematopoietic cancers and some solid tumors, such as melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, little progress has been made in the field of neuro-oncology, especially in the application of immunotherapy to glioblastoma treatment. In this review, we attempted to summarize the common drug resistance mechanisms in glioblastoma from Temozolomide to immunotherapy. Our intent is not to repeat the well-known difficulty in the area of neuro-oncology, such as the blood-brain barrier, but to provide some fresh insights into the molecular mechanisms responsible for resistance by summarizing some of the most recent literature. Through this review, we also hope to share some new ideas for improving the immunotherapy outcome of glioblastoma treatment.

PÉRDIDA, DISPERSIÓN Y DETERIORO DEL PATRIMONIO: CONVENTOS DE SAN FRANCISCO Y CAPUCHINOS DE MARCHENA (SEVILLA)
Authors: Rueda Gallegos Inmaculada
Published: October 2023

Los conventos de san Francisco y de Capuchinos de Marchena constituyen un caso paradigmático para el estudio del patrimonio. La fundación de ambos conventos se sitúa en la Edad Moderna, pero desaparecieron como consecuencia de los distintos periodos desamortizadores que tuvieron lugar a lo largo del siglo XIX. En este trabajo se pretende analizar ambos edificios desde un punto de vista histórico-artístico, desde la fundación y expansión de los cenobios hasta la posterior desamortización de sus bienes. Para ello, los inventarios de bienes son prácticamente los únicos documentos que permiten la búsqueda y la identificación del patrimonio disperso y en muchas ocasiones perdido en uno de los periodos más virulentos de la historia, no solo a nivel nacional sino mundial.

The paper describes the technology of hot briquetting of structurally heterogeneous metalworking waste in molds with a movable matrix, which differs from known analogues in the possibility of improving the quality of briquettes with a minimum number of preparatory operations. The aim of the work is to improve the process of hot briquetting. The tasks to be solved are to develop a technological scheme and a physical and mathematical model of the process, reduce the forces of contact friction and tool wear, and optimize the energy-power parameters according to the criteria for the density and strength of briquettes. The technological scheme of briquetting is represented by a mold with a movable matrix, in which compressed air is used as an elastic support. During the briquetting process, the matrix and the pressed metal move in the same direction. The lateral friction force is active, directed towards the briquetting force. As a result, the force and work of briquetting, mold wear are reduced, and the briquette itself is of high quality – uniform in density and without internal defects.

As a result of the numerical calculation of the model, the dependences of the stress state of the pressing and pressing pressure on the coordinates and density on the contact surfaces and in the depth of the material were obtained, which makes it possible to calculate the strength of the mold parts and select equipment for the briquetting process. The regularities of formation of the briquette structure are studied, the advantages of using the proposed technological scheme in comparison with briquetting in a fixed matrix are shown. The proposed technology eliminates the implementation of the preliminary operation of coolant removal by centrifugation or other known methods. Coolant is removed by thermal sublimation, partially burned in the furnace firebox, partially condensed in the “wet” cleaning system.

The expanding population in Surabaya, Indonesia, motivates the local water supply entity, Surya Sembada Surabaya's Local Water Supply Utility, to uphold the expected level of service concerning asset management. PDAM already employs a smartphone-based Global Navigation System (GNSS) for recording meter positions and water usage to manage their asset inventory, albeit with suboptimal position accuracy. The utilization of Geodetic GNSS is seen as less effective due to its considerable size and associated high expenses.

“Sangre de Drago” (Croton urucurana Baill.) is a native tree of South America with high value for urban afforestation or the restoration of riparian forests. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of container size and fertilization on the quality of seedlings produced in a plug+1 system. In the establishment phase, the impact of container size (110 mL or 250 mL) and fertilization (with or without) on seedling quality were evaluated before transplanting into bigger containers. In the rapid growth phase, the effect of container size (1 L, 1.5 L, and 3.5 L) on survival and seedling quality was evaluated. At the end of each phase, seedling quality was evaluated through morphological and physiological attributes. Data were analyzed through linear models, generalized linear models, and nonlinear regressions. In the establishment phase, seedlings grown in 250 mL containers with fertilization showed the best performance in morphological and physiological variables and the Dickson quality index. In the rapid growth phase, seedlings grown in 3.5 L containers showed the highest values in total height, stem diameter, total dry weight, Dickson quality index, and the lowest mortality at the end of the experiment. The results of this study suggest that the most efficient strategy for producing high-quality "Sangre de drago" tree seedlings is to use 250 mL tubes during the establishment phase, followed by transplanting them into 3.5 L pots during the rapid growth phase.

Background
Cognitive impairment and depression significantly affect the mental health of older Chinese adults. While previous studies highlighted the positive impact of social participation on cognitive functioning and depression, research on its specific types and their influence on the depression-cognitive relationship is limited. This study investigated which social activities mitigate cognitive impairment and if they moderate depression's effect on cognitive functioning in older Chinese adults.
Methods
The study conducted hierarchical regression analysis on the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) dataset of 5,056 older adults. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was employed to measure the cognitive performance of the subjects, and the 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10) was utilized to evaluate depressive symptoms. Hierarchical regression analysis tested the fit of step-wise models: Model 1 examined the main effect of depression on cognitive functioning; Model 2 & 3 assessed the main and interactive effects of formal and informal social participation; and Model 4 & 5 evaluated the effects of specific social participation categories and their interactions with depression on cognitive functioning.
Results
Regression results indicated that depression significantly impacted older Chinese adults' cognitive functioning in all models. Engaging in both formal and informal social activities reduced cognitive decline among these adults. Specific activities like "playing mahjong, chess, or cards," "attending clubs or community organizations," and "stock investing" positively correlated with the MMSE scores. No interaction was observed between any form of social participation and depression.
Conclusion
The study highlighted the positive impact of social participation, especially informal activities, on the mental health of older Chinese adults. Its findings have implications for public policy and health, suggesting the need for social venues and activities for older adults. This could enhance their life satisfaction and ease the load on China's health system.

In order to take into account the high amplification factor of the stepped ultrasonic scalpel horn and the high fatigue strength at the abrupt section of the curve transition horn, an ultrasonic scalpel acoustic composite horn with the most fast curve transition section was proposed, and a series of experiments were carried out on the ultrasonic scalpel acoustic system. Firstly, the equivalent T-type circuit of the ultrasonic scalpel energy transducer was constructed based on the equivalent circuit method. The mathematical model of the transition curve structure was established. On this basis, the structure of energy transducer was designed, and the overall structure and initial size of the ultrasonic transducer was obtained. Secondly, using ANSYS to analyze the modal analysis, harmonic response analysis, transient dynamic analysis and feasibility analysis of the most fast curve of the energy transducer. The simulation results verify the rationality of the theoretical calculation. Finally, the performance of the energy transducer was tested and analyzed by experiments, and the effectiveness of the designed transducer is verified. The results show that the ultrasonic scalpel acoustic system meets the design requirements.
