Published: January 2024

La prevalencia de hipertensión arterial (HTA) ha incrementado globalmente. Factores ambientales como la alimentación tienen gran influencia sobre esta patología, particularmente, el consumo elevado de sodio (Na) se considera un factor importante. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar el estado nutricional e ingesta de sodio dietético en adultos con y sin hipertensión arterial de la ciudad Ibarra 2022. Se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo cuantitativo de corte transversal en 40 adultos, 20 hipertensos y 20 no hipertensos. Se evaluó el estado nutricional a través del índice de masa corporal y la ingesta de sodio semanal a través un cuestionario de frecuencia de consumo de alimentos semicuantitativo (CFCA). El 65,00% fueron mujeres, la edad fue de 43,20±12,10 años, 72,50% fueron mestizos y más de la mitad tenían escolaridad superior (62,50%). Se encontró un IMC de 24,45±3,31 kg/m2, un consumo de 14,34±6,45 g de Na semanal y el 60% tenían un estado nutricional normal. Los g de Na semanal consumidos no fueron distintos entre personas con y sin HTA (9,80±9,76 vs 10,18 ± 7,38 g; p=0,904), no obstante, el IMC fue significativamente distinto entre estos grupos (26,49 ± 3,07 vs 23,40 ± 3,29 g; p=0 ,048). Adicionalmente, el 60% de los estudiados percibía tener un consumo bajo de Na. Como conclusión, se diría que, menos de la mitad de los estudiados tenían sobrepeso u obesidad, no obstante, el IMC es significativamente mayor en los hipertensos y el consumo de sodio no es distinto en adultos con y sin HTA.

Published: January 2024

La toxoplasmosis es una infección causada por el parásito protozoario Toxoplasma Gondii, conocida como una de las zoonosis más difundidas en el mundo, durante el embarazo puede conllevar a varias complicaciones. Esta infección puede ser adquirida durante la niñez o adolescencia y permanecer latente, así mismo, durante el embarazo esta infección en la madre puede reactivarse y transmitirse al feto, apareciendo de este modo la toxoplasmosis congénita. Para el diagnóstico de esta infección debemos guiarnos del interrogatorio, pruebas serológicas y hasta pruebas moleculares. En cuanto a pruebas serológicas, se considera el gold standard para determinar esta patología mediante identificación de anticuerpos IgM e IgG. Los anticuerpos IgM serán detectables a partir del día 5 después de la infección, siendo sus niveles máximos en 1 a 2 meses. Por otro lado, los anticuerpos IgG serán detectables después de 1 a 2 semanas de infección, llegando así a niveles máximos entre 3 a 6 meses. La alta avidez de IgG es un sello distintivo de la infección crónica (> 4 meses de edad) y una baja avidez en la gestación temprana esencialmente descarta el riesgo fetal, el manejo confirmatorio se basará en pruebas moleculares de ADN de Toxoplasma Gondi en líquido amniótico. Esta revisión de caso busca evidenciar la existencia de toxoplasmosis en mujeres embarazadas en nuestro entorno, su patogenia, evaluación y manejo, destacando el papel del equipo de salud para disminuir el riesgo de complicación materno fetal tanto prenatales como posnatales.
Protective effect of stigmasterol enriched extract of Bacopa monnieri in ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma: An experimental and network pharmacology studies
Authors: Narayan Shiv , Mandal Sudeep Kumar , Gupta Jeetendra Kumar
Published: January 2024

Asthma is a chronic allergic disease that affects the airways of the lungs. It makes breathing, speaking, and moving difficult or impossible. The current research aims to evaluate the ameliorative potential of stigmasterol-enriched extract (STIG) on ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma in a guinea pigs model. STIG was given orally to guinea pigs with asthma for a total of 28 days (dose of 100 mg/kg/b.w.). Guinea pigs exposed to OVA exhibited severe airway remodelling and inflammation resembling chronic asthma, as shown by the histological findings, elevated cytokines associated with inflammation, malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced antioxidant enzymes. However, STIG significantly decreases inflammatory mediators and MDA levels and also enhances the antioxidant enzyme level. Furthermore, network pharmacology showed that STIG could combat asthma by acting on key targets and closely related pathways. Hence, it is concluded that STIG has the potential to reduce lung airway inflammation and oxidative stress, and it could serve as a promising medication for the management of asthma.

Direito do trabalho como direito de justiça social: Um diálogo com Nancy Fraser
Authors: Almeida Cleber Lúcio de , Almeida Wânia Guimarães Rabêllo de
Published: January 2024

O direito do trabalho legaliza e legitima o capitalismo, sistema de produção que tem como uma das suas características centrais a acumulação de capital também por meio da mercantilização do trabalho humano, mas, ao mesmo tempo, procura proteger os trabalhadores e as trabalhadoras no contexto deste sistema, o que demonstra a sua ambivalência. Este artigo pretende responder à seguinte indagação: o direito do trabalho, ao procurar proteger os trabalhadores e as trabalhadoras, contribui para a realização da justiça social? Para tanto, é adotada a doutrina de Nancy Fraser, que, definindo a substância da justiça social, a esta atribui três dimensões, quais sejam, distribuição, reconhecimento e participação. O artigo adotando o método indutivo, com revisão bibliográfica e documental, demonstra que o direito do trabalho constitui um direito de justiça social, que contempla as dimensões de distribuição, de reconhecimento e de participação, as quais servem, inclusive, para analisar criticamente ações e condutas que fragilizam ou neutralizam a atuação protetiva do direito do trabalho.

Authors: ÇULHA ÜNAL Sevil
Published: January 2024

One of the prominent nonlinear partial differential equations in mathematical physics is the Clannish Random Walker’s Parabolic (CRWP) equation. This study uses Residual Power Series Method (RPSM) to solve the time fractional CRWP equation. In this equation, the fractional derivatives are considered in Caputo’s sense. The effectiveness of RPSM is illustrated with graphical results. The series solutions are utilized to represent the approximate solutions. Besides, the approximate solutions found by the suggested method ensure good accuracy when compared with the exact solution. Moreover, RPSM efficiently analyzes complex problems that emerge in the related mathematical and scientific fields.
Altered Numbers of Fibonacci Number Squared
Authors: KÖKEN Fikri , KANKAL Emre
Published: January 2024

We investigate two types of altered Fibonacci numbers obtained by adding or subtracting a specific value $\{a\}$ from the square of the $n^{th}$ Fibonacci numbers $G^{(2)}_{F(n)}(a)$ and $H^{(2)}_{F(n)}(a)$. These numbers are significant as they are related to the consecutive products of the Fibonacci numbers. As a result, we establish consecutive sum-subtraction relations of altered Fibonacci numbers and their Binet-like formulas. Moreover, we explore greatest common divisor (GCD) sequences of r-successive terms of altered Fibonacci numbers represented by $\left\{G^{(2)}_{F(n), r}(a)\right\}$ and $\left\{H^{(2)}_{F(n), r}(a)\right\}$ such that $r\in\{1,2,3\}$ and $a\in\{1,4\}$. The sequences are based on the GCD properties of consecutive terms of the Fibonacci numbers and structured as periodic or Fibonacci sequences.
An Application of Nonstandard Finite Difference Method to a Model Describing Diabetes Mellitus and Its Complications
Authors: TURHAN ÇETİNKAYA İlkem
Published: January 2024

In this study, a mathematical model describing diabetes mellitus and its complications in a population is considered. Since standard numerical methods can lead to numerical instabilities, it aims to solve the problem using a nonstandard method. Among the nonstandard methods, nonstandard finite difference (NSFD) schemes that satisfy dynamical consistency are preferred to make the model discrete. Both continuous and discrete models are analyzed to show the stability of the model at the equilibrium points. The Schur-Cohn criterion is used to perform stability analysis at the equilibrium point of the discretized model. Thus, asymptotically stability of the model is presented. Moreover, the advantages of the NSFD method are emphasized by comparing the stability for different step sizes with classical methods, such as Euler and Runge-Kutta. It has been observed that the NSFD method is convergence for larger step sizes. In addition, the numerical results obtained by NSFD schemes are compared with the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg (RKF45) method in graphical forms. The accuracy of the NSFD method is observed.
Sistemas solares DC en aplicaciones off grid, estudio técnico económico con relación a sistemas solares AC
Authors: Leiva Álvaro , Rivas Gustavo
Published: January 2024

El acceso a la electricidad actualmente es considerado como un servicio básico; pese a eso, en determinadas regiones la distribución mediante red se torna inviable, por motivos geográficos o económicos. Sistemas en los que se aplican energías renovables se presentan como una solución, entre los que se destaca el uso de la energía solar off grid, sin embargo, estos son considerados sistemas caros y de poca eficiencia energética; ya que dependen de diversas conversiones: corriente continua/corriente alterna (DC/AC) y AC/DC para alimentar cargas domésticas generalmente en AC, proceso en el que se pierde una gran parte de la energía generada. El sistema solar off grid (OGH) propuesto se basa en el uso directo de DC, para aprovechar la energía solar fotovoltaica en forma eficiente. Con esta solución, la demanda mínima de potencia para el sistema fotovoltaico se redujo en 15%, y consecuentemente el valor de la inversión disminuyó en 20,3%, con relación a los sistemas convencionales.

Published: January 2024

Water resource shortage is one of the global problems of our time. The article presents the results of studies of international conflicts due to the lack of fresh water, and analyzes the possible consequences of the growing crisis that may affect the world political system. The prerequisites for the emergence of water conflicts on the political map of the world and the most informative indicators that make it possible to judge the conflict potential between countries (the share of transit river flow, the level of use of water resources and the degree of climate aridity) are considered. The existing and predicted geo-ecological consequences caused by the degradation of water bodies and the deterioration of the water resource situation in the context of weakening research cooperation between neighboring states are analyzed. Successful examples of solving problems in the field of water use based on the basin approach, both between entities of the same state and between individual countries, are considered.

Authors:   Lagos State University of Education, Akeusola Bolanle
Published: January 2024

The widespread adoption of smartphones has transformed communication and information access, particularly among Nigerian youths. As Africa’s most populous nation and rapidly digitizing economy, Nigeria offers a unique backdrop to investigate the complex interplay between smartphone use patterns, socio-psychological well-being, and socio-cultural factors among its youth population. This study employed a cross-sectional survey research design to explore these intricate relationships comprehensively. The methodological approach involved a quantitative research framework using a tailored measurement scale developed to gather relevant data, encompassing demographic details, smartphone use patterns, socio-psychological well-being indicators, and socio-cultural factors. This study focused on Nigerian youth aged 18 to 30 years, employing a snowball sampling technique to disseminate the research instrument through WhatsApp and Telegram platforms. A total of 1241 participants from different regions of the country were included in the study. The results showed significant variations in smartphone use patterns among Nigerian youth based on age groups, gender, and socioeconomic background. The results revealed significant variations in smartphone use patterns based on demographic characteristics, including age, sex, and socioeconomic background. Furthermore, smartphone use patterns exhibited significant correlations with various aspects of socio-psychological well-being, such as emotional well-being, stress levels, sleep quality, and life satisfaction. Sociocultural factors did not significantly predict smartphone use patterns; family dynamics and peer interactions emerged as significant indirect influencers through psychological well-being. The recommendations arising from the study’s findings suggest tailored interventions for demographic groups, promotion of digital well-being, and the incorporation of digital literacy education.

A questão das Mudanças Climáticas (MC) tem sido um tema bastante abordado na literatura científica. O presente artigo tem como objetivo fazer uma discussão a partir da literatura a respeito da relação entre Educação e Mudanças climáticas, evidenciando a percepção dos estudantes de uma escola pública do interior da Amazônia. É caracterizado como uma pesquisa quanti-qualitativa com aplicação de questionário padrão e realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os questionários foram aplicados a 51 estudantes do ensino fundamental e médio e as entrevistas foram realizadas com 4 estudantes. Os resultados da pesquisa mostraram que as Mudanças Climáticas foram percebidas pelos estudantes principalmente associadas a sensação térmica do aumento da temperatura (muito calor). As principais fontes de informação sobre o tema foram identificadas como a mídia (TV, noticiários) com 25,37%, internet e redes sociais com 18,66%, atividades desenvolvidas na escola com 17,16% e na comunidade com 13,43%. Quanto a importância da Educação sobre MC, houve o registro de 49,02% que reconheceram com grande importância a sua abordagem, e 21,57% com significativa importância. Foi indagado se os alunos gostariam de participar ativamente de grupo ambientalista, 74% manifestaram concordância com esta proposição. Assim, apesar da percepção dos participantes em destacar a importância da abordagem sobre MC no ambiente escolar, em uma região no interior da Amazônia paraense, faz-se necessário potencializar o protagonismo da juventude amazônica com relação as mudanças climáticas. Estudos, debates e pesquisas sobre Educação e Mudanças Climáticas revelaram-se temas estratégicos e necessários, principalmente, com a confirmação da COP 30 da Amazônia.

Abuse of narcotics can result in a dependency syndrome if its use and distribution are not monitored. Narcotics abuse encourages illicit trafficking and causes an increase in abuse that is increasingly widespread and has an international dimension. Therefore, efforts to prevent and control narcotics abuse and efforts to eradicate illicit trafficking are needed. General Provisions in the explanation of Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, the definition of narcotics is a substance or medicine that is very useful and necessary for the treatment of certain diseases. However, if it is used not following treatment standards, it can have very detrimental consequences for individuals and society, especially the younger generation. Narcotics etymologically comes from the Greek Narkoum, which means to paralyze or make numb. Narcotics have properties and are useful for use in the medical field, useful for research, and pharmaceutical science. In this era of globalization, some crimes align children as perpetrators of criminal acts and in cases of abuse that are prohibited in criminal law, one of which is the crime of narcotics abuse. In this case, there is a lot of narcotics spread that has penetrated even remote levels of society, touching and highlighting children who still have a low level of thinking as the main targets or victims. Where, without us realizing it, the potential for children to be indirectly involved in the misuse of very dangerous items is due to factors involving adults. In this case, the main factor that triggers the child to face the law in a narcotics case comes from outside himself, including the very minimal attention of parents (family), and also accompanied by social environmental factors. These two factors simultaneously cause children to often fall into crimes which unknowingly lead the child to become involved in narcotics. Of course, this involvement often occurs when children do not yet have maturity in terms of thinking patterns, so there is a very high potential that a crime will occur. Apart from that, there is a culture of joining in and the participation of adults who try to persuade children to commit crimes that are very detrimental to their future

Wireless Sensors Networks (WSNs) are a scientific revolution in wireless communications and embedded systems. WSN is based on the idea of abandoning the human factor, which was often an obstacle because it was not possible to be in the places where these networks are placed, especially if the collection of information required a long time, Underwater wireless sensor nodes can be deployed for monitoring, exploration, and for disaster protection, and this is what is called Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs). nIn this paper, we will study how the parameters of the genetic algorithm change when locating sensors under water, Including the error rate, the number of nodes in the network and the time taken to implement.

Facilities management is one of the main challenges in the maintenance and operation of buildings. The use of BIM in facility management is an effective tool that helps to provide information, identify maintenance needs, plan a budget and direct efforts to improve the long-term performance of the facility. This study aims to find the best ways to apply BIM in facilities management and facilitate access to any information needed at the stage of operation and maintenance to deal with it and improve the maintenance of the building. The Autodesk Revit program was used, which provides many tools and features that help in the process of effective facility management. A practical model of a medical building with various clinics, consisting of two floors and a glazed additional floor, was applied. The Autodesk BIM Interoperability Tools interoperability tool was activated to obtain the full model information and then the fire sprinkler maintenance information was filtered using the COBie Extension for Autodesk Revit standard. The data and information from the building model were exported to an Excel file to illustrate the results in a unified format. Research has shown that the use of BIM improves facility management by providing accurate and comprehensive information about maintenance and operation and facilitates the detection, prediction, treatment, handling and management of maintenance problems more efficiently compared to traditional methods of Facility Management, which are considered more complex. The research concluded that the use of BIM in facility management can achieve efficiency, save time and cost, extend the life of facilities, reduce the field of error, fraud and theft. It is recommended to study BIM accreditation in facilities management, especially for large projects, and learn more about other BIM tools and programs for future studies.
Non-traditional Gender Role Parents on the LGBTQ+ Community in Chengdu, China: A Cultural and Psychosocial Examination
Authors: He Minxing
Published: January 2024

The impact of non-traditional gender role parenting on the LGBTQ+ community in the Chengdu area, especially in an urban environment like Chengdu, which is known for its openness and multiculturalism is worthy of academic attention. The study was conducted primarily through both quantitative and qualitative methods: online surveys and census data were used for quantitative analysis, while in-depth interviews and focus group discussions were used for qualitative analysis. This study proposes four main hypotheses: 1) there are more parents with non-traditional gender roles relative to traditional gender roles in Chengdu; 2) children from families with non-traditional gender roles are more likely to be open about their sexual minority identities; 3) non-traditional gender role family environments may be more encouraging of children's exploration and acceptance of gender perceptions of their sexual orientations; and 4) Chengdu's social and cultural environments, specifically perceptions related to gender roles, are associated with the flourishing of the LGBTQ+ community in the city. Preliminary results show that the relative activity and openness of the LGBTQ+ community in Chengdu is significantly higher than in other regions, which is related to the higher proportion of non-traditional gender role households in Chengdu. This study emphasizes that although sexual orientation is considered an intrinsic and inherent characteristic, family environment and socio-cultural factors also play an important role, especially in a more diverse and open urban context such as Chengdu. This provides a valuable perspective for further research on the cultural and social acceptance of sexual minorities within China.
Oral Materialization and Ethical Governance of Science and Technology in Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Li Hui
Published: January 2024

Contemporary people live in a reality full of intelligent technology construction, and many practical activities are regulated by technology. The chat content generation pre-training program artificial intelligence developed by the Open Artificial Intelligence Research Center (OpenAI) based on large model data training has aroused wide concern because of its generation and learning ability. It is necessary to admit that the current domestic media publicity seems to focus more on the convenience that big data technology may bring to human society. But not much about its own limitations. In the few discussions on the negative effects of big data technology, more concerns are raised about the ethical risks that may be caused by the abuse of relevant technology, such as the threat of "data greed" to personal privacy, and the decision-making errors that may be caused by the superstition of business decision-makers and government heads about "digital dictatorship", etc. From the perspective of philosophy of information technology and philosophy of cognitive science, this paper reviews the gains and losses of big data technology itself in terms of philosophical thought premise and path strategy. Starting from the theory of "moral materialization", this paper analyzes the ethical value load and risk of artificial intelligence from the perspectives of moral subject status, value position presupposition, operation intervention and operation result effect. And from the moral materialization theory of "top-down" approach and "bottom-up" approach to the ethical governance of modern scientific and technological intelligent artifacts.
