STRENGTH TRAINING OF LONG JUMP ATHLETES
Authors: Zong Peiying
Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT Introduction Lower limb strength training is one of the daily exercises of jumpers. Heavy squats are a standard method of lower body strength training. The squat is the only compound movement that directly trains “hip strength.” Objective This study aimed to analyze the effect of weighted squats on lower body strength training in long jumpers. Methods 20 jumpers were selected and randomly divided into a general training group and a weighted squat group. Then, the changes in standing triple jump, lateral jump, and Y-axis swing were analyzed before and after training under an experimental protocol. Results The performance of the weighted squat group was better than that of the general training group about the explosive power of the lower body of long jumpers. The data were statistically divergent (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the Y-balance test related to the lower limbs (P>0.05). Conclusion Squatting exercises with weight can improve the explosive power of lower limbs in jumpers. Long jumpers use a variety of jumping exercises to develop the rapid strength needed for their specialties, and this protocol can be added to training for a better athletic outcome. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigating treatment outcomes.

Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT Introduction Ground exercise is a high-level event of Chinese women's gymnastics. Maintaining the dominant strength of women's floor exercise in China has become one of the issues that coaches, athletes and gymnastics researchers should actively discuss. A research analysis on athletes’ competition in the National Games can better reflect and illustrate the fundamental level of athletes and their overall developmental status. Objective To verify the relationship between women's floor exercise skills and competition performance. Methods The analysis and study of 65 female athletes participating in floor exercises at the National Games was carried out. In this paper, the on-the-spot statistical method is used to perform statistics on the skills and the athletes’ completion in the four games. Movement training and choreography experts were consulted. Results The performance of women's floor drills in the National Games was discussed from three aspects: the difficulty and arrangement of movements, the initial score and bonus points, and the completion of movements. Conclusion Most athletes can adapt to the changes in the new rules and master many complex movements. This also gets them a higher score. However, the choreography of the athletes’ complete movements is relatively simple and lacks features. Strength training in the lower limbs should be the key to improving the athletes’ ability in floor exercise. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

ABSTRACT: The present study aimed to identify and describe cardiac alterations in sheep experimentally poisoned with Palicourea marcgravii through analysis of serum cardiac biomarkers (serum troponin I and creatine kinase - CK-MB) and electro and echocardiographic assessments to contribute to a better understanding of the poisoning pathophysiology. P. marcgravii is the main plant within a group of 22 species that cause sudden death in Brazil; its toxic principle is sodium monofluoroacetate. Eight healthy crossbreed male sheep, aged between five and twelve months, weighing 14 to 27kg, were evaluated. The animals received 1g kg-1 of P. marcgravii plants orally. The sheep were evaluated before administering the plant (T0) through electro and echocardiography and blood collection to assess cardiac biomarkers (CK-MB and cTnI). Collections and analyses were repeated every four hours until the animal’s death. During the study, there was the presence of extravasation of serum troponin I carried out in a qualitative test, with positive values at time T4, and the serum CK-MB biomarker had a peak at T4 and slightly decreased at T8. The electro and echocardiographic examinations showed that the cause of death in these animals was due to acute heart failure characterized by arrhythmias, tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation, drop in cardiac output, left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction by the progressive decrease in the LV ejection fraction (EF), decrease in LV fractional shortening (FS), and decrease in aortic flow velocity and aortic flow gradient. This study seems to be the first to evaluate cardiac alterations in sheep poisoned by P. marcgravii through cardiac biomarkers and electro and echocardiographic exams.

Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the managerial profile and forms of intersectoral articulation in the framework of food and nutrition carried out in Primary Health Care and verify its association with the prevalence of obesity in the three health macro-regions of the State of Paraíba. Methods: Cross-sectional survey carried out in 151 municipalities in Paraíba, nested in a national population-based survey. Variables related to the manager, managerial profile, intersectoral forms of articulation, and obesity rates among adults were evaluated according to data from the Food and Nutrition Surveillance System. Results: All macro-regions presented a mean of adults obesity higher than the national reference for individual over 18 years of age described in the National Health Plan 2020-2023. The presence of the technician responsible for food and nutrition actions was associated with higher rates of obesity. The performance of food and nutrition education actions, and intersectoral practices related to the Food and Nutrition Security sector were associated with lower prevalence of obesity. Conclusion: The effectiveness of the actions cannot be guaranteed by the presence of a specific position for the actions. Food and Nutrition Education actions are recommended to reduce the prevalence of obesity.

Resumo: Introdução: O Teste de Progresso (TP) é um instrumento de avaliação aplicado anualmente e coordenado pela Associação Brasileira de Educação Médica (Abem). A Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Brasília (UnB) participa do Teste de Progresso da Região Centro-Oeste (TP-CO) desde o ano de 2013 e utiliza os dados oriundos da avaliação para diagnóstico interno e discussões sobre a formação médica. Objetivo: Este estudo descreve os resultados obtidos pelos discentes no TP e analisa possíveis relações entre mudança do PPC e desempenho dos estudantes. Método: Trata-se de um estudo transversal analítico, realizado a partir dos resultados obtidos pelos discentes do curso em comparação ao universo das instituições do consórcio TP-CO entre 2013 e 2021. Nesse período, participaram do teste estudantes inseridos em duas matrizes curriculares: currículo antigo (CA) e currículo novo (CN). A fim de verificar a evolução da nota média da UnB em cada período em comparação à nota média do consórcio, foi aplicado o teste de proporção para as diferenças em cada par de notas da UnB e do consórcio, em cada ano da série histórica e período dos estudantes avaliados. Resultado: Entre 2013 e 2015, vigência do CA, não se observaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas nas médias entre os estudantes da UnB de todos os anos do curso comparados ao consórcio TP-CO. O mesmo comportamento foi verificado entre 2016 e 2018, período de transição composto por estudantes das matrizes CA e CN. Contudo, entre 2019 e 2021, vigência da nova matriz curricular, observaram-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os estudantes da UnB e do consórcio. Conclusão: O TP possibilita um olhar sobre o desempenho da escola e a identificação de lacunas que geram reflexões na busca por uma educação médica de excelência. Com a experiência apresentada, foi possível identificar as trilhas percorridas pelo curso da UnB ao longo de sua participação no consórcio, considerando as mudanças curriculares.
Assessment of potentially toxic metals in water, sediment, and the tissues of seven important fish species from neotropical brazilian river
Authors: Rodrigues Karla Fernanda Sanches , Smith Welber Senteio
Published: December 2022

Abstract Fish are often used as bioindicators of the presence of potentially toxic metals in aquatic ecosystems. The objective of these study was to quantify the levels of Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Pb and Zn in water and sediment samples from the Sorocaba River and musculature and gill samples of seven species of fish (Hoplosternum littorale, Pterygoplichthys ambrosettii, Hypostomus ancistroides, Geophagus iporangensis, Prochilodus lineatus, Psalidodon cf. fasciatus, and Rhamdia quelen. In addition, the Bioaccumulation factor and Bioconcentration factor were obtained. The water and sediment analysis indicates average concentrations of metals below the maximum limit allowed by Brazilian legislation. Results above the legislation were found for chromium, in 18 samples: eight gills and 10 muscles. The trophic group that presented the highest contamination was the iliophages, followed by insectivores. There were no significant differences between the trophic groups in the absorption of the analyzed metals except for Zn and Hg in fish gills. The bioaccumulation factor in the gills and muscles showed that Hg and Zn had the highest values for the sediment in most species studied. Future research is needed to broaden the assessment as fish are consumed and water collection for supply has recently started downstream of the studied area.

A global player from the South: the Jardín Zoológico de Buenos Aires and the transnational network of zoos in the early twentieth century
Authors: Hochadel Oliver
Published: December 2022

Abstract Under the directorship of Clemente Onelli (1904-1924), the Jardín Zoológico de Buenos Aires became a major public attraction and gained an international reputation for its innovations in animal keeping and as a supplier of Latin American fauna. It was a hybrid institution that combined the tasks of public instruction, zoological research, and acclimatization of useful animals, and also served as a symbol of national pride. Despite its seemingly peripheral geographical location, the institution was firmly integrated in the global network of zoological gardens. This paper utilizes a transnational perspective to tease out the numerous, multidirectional exchanges of animals and knowledge between the Jardín Zoológico de Buenos Aires and Northern metropolises.

Published: December 2022

Resumo Este artigo resulta de uma pesquisa realizada no agreste pernambucano que se inscreve no debate nacional sobre currículos de formação de professores, elegendo como problemática as possibilidades de um processo formativo contribuir com o desenvolvimento do poder de agência dos professores. Como aporte teórico, baseia-se na compreensão de que a agência não é algo que se tem, mas que se alcança, e de que os programas de formação de professores precisam conceber um processo de ensino e aprendizagem que permita aos estudantes, futuros docentes, se desenvolverem para além de executores de determinações externas a eles. Do ponto de vista metodológico, é adotada a teoria do discurso a partir de um registro analítico que nega todo e qualquer fundamento apresentado como último. Nesta orientação, são analisados projetos curriculares de quatro cursos de licenciaturas provenientes de uma universidade federal, localizada no agreste pernambucano, inserindo-os em sua condição histórica e contingencial. A análise dos dados recolhidos aponta o reconhecimento do currículo como espaço de integração não-linear entre o lócus de formação e o de atuação profissional, integração fabricada em projetos de formação que buscam romper com formas tradicionais e que encorajam o recurso a práticas reflexivas e de decisão curricular.
3D SIMULATION OF THE EFFECT OF STENOSIS ON THE LEFT VENTRICLE OF THE HEART AND AORTA HAEMODYNAMICS USING COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS METHOD
Authors: He Enpeng , Li Yanhong
Published: December 2022

In order to predict cardiovascular disease, it is imperative to study heart function carefully. This study examines the hemodynamics of the left ventricular and aortic vessels by selecting the proper boundary conditions. A further aspect of this study is the simulation of flow in the presence of an occlusion of the aortic vessels. In this study, fluid flow is analyzed using ANSYS CFX software, and cardiac geometry networking is performed using ICEM CFD software. Blood is assumed to be homogeneous, non-Newtonian, and pulsed. A significant reduction in pressure drop and heart rate is associated with stenosis of the coronary arteries. Consequently, it can pose severe risks to the patient. Having 50% stenosis of the arteries can reduce the pressure in the aorta by 33% and double the blood flow in the LSA. In addition, the maximum pressure is 136 mmHg for the patient in the normal state, 120 mmHg, and 104 mmHg for the patient with 30% and 50% stenosis, respectively.
METHODS MATTER: LEARNING FROM INSTITUTIONAL ETHNOGRAPHY AND INTERSECTIONALITY TO INFORM INTERVIEW RESEARCH METHODS FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE IN STEM EDUCATION
Authors: Wright Casey E.
Published: December 2022

In this methodological paper, I share methodological developments within an institutional ethnography (IE) guided by intersectionality. I argue both theories and methods that address how institutions operate through discourses of gender, race, and class inequity, which need to be used to guide interview research for pursuing equity in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Drawing on a political commitment to social justice foundational to intersectionality to guide the work, I detail methodological development for interview-based STEM social justice research. I describe how I developed interview methods on entry-level data by drawing on tools of storytelling, a post-interview reflection guide, and the Listening Guide. I reflect on how I adapted these tools for use in an IE to investigate the experiences of women who were parenting while pursuing STEMPhDs. Developing methods with theory was found to be generative for examining researcher and participant relationships, as was drawing on narrative approaches for greater examination of these relationships. Rather than presenting the work as settled, this paper grapples with the commitment and self-reflection needed in interpretative research with a social justice aim. Implications are shared for early career researchers and others who are interested in interview research for equity in STEM education.
Micro–macro analysis of shear band formation in various normalised reverse fault throws
Authors: Ghaderi Saman , Saeedi Azizkandi Alireza
Published: December 2022

Two-dimensional discrete-element modelling was adopted to study the engineering and fundamental aspects of shear band formation in reverse faulting through sandy soils of varying densities. The employed discrete-element methodology was verified with experimental centrifuge results. From an engineering perspective, the results showed that the shear bands formed due to a reverse fault consisted of multiple ruptures formed at the different fault throws. These ruptures may deviate towards the hanging or footing wall depending on the faulting angle. The distortion zone outcropping location was captured by the W/H ratio at the 1% normalised fault throw (h/H) step. Various micro and macro aspects of shear banding, such as porosity, coordination number and strong contact forces within the localised areas along the shear bands, were studied. Moreover, a link was established between the micro and macro events occurring inside the shear bands. The results showed that the wedge pressure formed between the shear band and back-thrust rupture in a fault with a dip angle smaller than 45° significantly affected the back-thrust formation and micro–macro parameters in the shearing region.
Segmented trenches for recovering contaminant plumes from lined waste impoundments
Authors: Hudak Paul F.
Published: December 2022

This study examined the capability of segmented trenches with various placements to remediate groundwater contaminated by small holes in lined waste impoundments such as landfills. A groundwater flow and mass transport model simulated a small contaminant source above an unconfined alluvial aquifer. After the leachate plume evolved for 1000 days, the source was shut off and clean-up trials started. Decoupled trench configurations, with one segment at the downgradient edge of a plume, and the other at high concentrations within the plume, expedited clean-up while limiting downgradient travel. At some sites, relatively efficient schemes documented here may be effective clean-up alternatives for contemporary landfills.
Party of Power and Sys temic Opp osi tion in the State Duma: diff erences in the structure of Russi a’s territorial im age
Authors:   Perm State University, Sulimov Konstantin A.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Introduction: the legislative speeches at plenary sessions in the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation provide rich material for analyzing deputy’s ideas about the world arrangement, including the issues of territorial and political nature. The latter are of interest because they are a kind of gateway to the “real world” in which real people and organizations live and operate in specific localities and territories. It can be assumed that with regard to the parties represented in the State Duma, their place in the partypolitical system is one of the factors of differences in Russia’s territorial image. The period under analysis covers the time between the State Duma’s 4th and 7th convocation (2003–2021), characterized by the formation of a fairly stable party-political system with the dominance of “United Russia” party and the representation of three parties of systemic opposition in the lower house of the Russian parliament. Objectives: to identify the differences between the factions of the State Duma in the volume and structure of references to geographical objects. Methods: “Natasha” library tools for analyzing natural language text based on deep learning methods, the OpenStreetMap automatic geocoding system, and content analysis. Results: compared to other factions, “United Russia” refers less to geographical entities in relation to the total speaking volume of its deputies. At the same time, the mention of Russia and everything “geographically” connected with it has a more abstract, that is, high-level character among “United Russia” members. This is manifested, at least, in two ways. Firstly, “United Russia” deputies talk less about geographic objects of the regional level and below. Secondly, in their general reference to specific regions, they are much more likely, compared to other factions’ deputies, to limit themselves by only naming the region. In other words, systemic opposition deputies talk more about towns and localities “within” regions. Conclusions: The territorial image of the country in the “United Russia” rhetoric significantly differs from the other factions’ image in the level of its abstraction. This may be explained by the role of “United Russia” as the party of power, i.e. the instrument of presidential dominance in parliament. Being politically dominant, it bears the main administrative burden in the Duma processes. This reduces its incentive for using the rhetoric that opens up the gateways to the “real world”.
Adequacy of Prenatal Care in Rural Kansas Related to Distance Traveled
Authors: Kennedy Michael , Kelly Kelsie , Lemke Corinna
Published: December 2022

Introduction. Prenatal care is essential for optimizing the health of a woman and her baby. Multiple factors have created barriers in the access to prenatal care in rural Kansas. Over 120 rural hospitals in the United States have closed since 2010, 5 in Kansas. Seventy-seven of the 105 Kansas counties do not have maternity care services. This study investigated differences in prenatal care received by women in rural Kansas counties related to distance traveled. Differences in timing of initiation of care, number of visits, and services received were compared between two cohorts: those who drove < 19 miles and those who drove ≥ 20 miles for prenatal care.
Methods.A survey was distributed to women who had delivered a child in the last three years in rural Kansas at participating clinics. Measures of adequacy of prenatal care were determined with questions regarding timing of first prenatal visit, number of prenatal visits, and services received at visits. An index was created using these variables and compared between the two cohorts using two-tailed t-tests for continuous data and chi square analysis for categorical data.
Results.Women who traveled ≥ 20 miles for prenatal care received statistically significant less services, and had less prenatal care visits in the second trimester and overall in their pregnancy compared to women who traveled < 19 miles for prenatal care. Rurality did not impact adequacy of prenatal care.
Conclusions.Women traveling ≥ 20 miles to receive prenatal care had significantly fewer prenatal visits during their second trimester and overall in pregnancy and self-reported less prenatal care services. These results indicated the importance of lessening barriers to prenatal care in rural Kansas, such as transportation and financial barriers.

Biology and performance of the predator Hippodamia convergens, reared on cabbage aphids Brevicoryne brassicae, Myzaphis rosarum and Myzus persicae
Authors: Valverde Cadillo Amador , Valverde Apfata Neryeling , Solano Porras Roberto
Published: December 2022

The Brevicoryne brassicae aphid is an important pest of several plants of the Brassicaceae family worldwide. In the Mantaro Valley-Peru, it causes economic losses in cabbage and broccoli crops. Myzus persicae is the most important pest in potato cultivation. Myzaphis rosarum colonizes both wild and cultivated rose bushes and trees. To control it, farmers use toxic chemical insecticides that cause health problems. Faced with this problem, biocontrol is an important component of sustainable production to control pests. Hippodamia convergens is a predator of aphids, so it is necessary to know its biology and predation in its different prey. The objective was to determine the duration of the development stages, longevity, fecundity and performance of the predator H. convergens reared with cabbage aphids B. barssicae, Myzaphis rosarum and Myzus persicae. The completely randomized design was used, with 10 repetitions and three treatments or species of aphids. The aphid species used as food for the predator influenced the duration of preimaginal and adult development. Egg-adult development was longer with 34.1 days with B. brassicae and shorter with M. rosarum and M. persicae with 22.8 and 22.5 days respectively. Cabbage glucosinolates absorbed by B. barssicae negatively affected the growth rate, development, weight gain, survival, fecundity and predation capacity of H. convergens.

Published: December 2022

The objective of the present investigation was to determine the efficacy of twelve alternative treatments for the control of Oidium sp. in blueberry cultivation, under field conditions. The experiment was installed under a randomized complete block design (DBCA). The treatments were proposed based on Bacillus subtilis, AP-01, Bacillus subtilis IAB/BS03, Silicon, Sulfur, Mannan oligosaccharides and potassium bicarbonate. Six treatments in rotation of the mentioned products were considered, and six treatments without rotation. Applications were made weekly, from budding to pre-blooming. The incidence and severity in leaves were evaluated with a frequency of seven days. Then, these variables were transformed to the area under the disease progress curve (AUCPE) for statistical analysis. The results indicate that the treatments with potassium bicarbonate and sulfur had the best incidence control effect with an efficacy of 61.85 and 42.81%, respectively. Likewise, the treatments with potassium bicarbonate, Sulfur and Sulfur in rotation with Silicon appeared the best severity control effect with an efficiency of 73.96, 56.7 and 54.82% respectively.

Published: December 2022

The coating of tomato with sapote gum (0.0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2.5% (w/v)) was evaluated during storage in the environment (20 °C; 85 % RH) and refrigeration (15 °C; 90% RH). Treatments with coverage to the environment presented less weight loss than the control (0.0%); in refrigeration, in treatments with 0.5% and control, this loss was lower. The rate of respiration to the environment and refrigeration showed similar trends. There was a non-significant increase in ambient soluble solids; in refrigeration, the control presented a slight decrease and the treatments with coverage a slight increase. The pH, in all treatments, was slightly increased. There was a slight decrease in acidity in all treatments. Firmness decreased by 46%-55% in the environment and by 65%-69% in refrigeration; there were no significant differences with respect to the witness. The color parameters (L*, h° and C*) decreased significantly in the first week; afterward, the decrease was slight. The mold and yeast count were below the maximum limits. Sensorily, acceptance was similar in all treatments. In conclusion, the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics and acceptability of the rubber-coated tomato did not show significant differences with respect to the control.

Published: December 2022

El artículo trata sobre el papel de la tecnología de punta en el proceso de desarrollo territorial y local de Lucas do Rio Verde, que se encuentra a 334 km (vía BR 163) al norte de Cuiabá, capital del estado de Mato Grosso. Hoy es un municipio mediano que se ha desarrollado muy rápido, y que a principios de la década del 2000 tenía una población predominantemente sureña pero, con la difusión del prodigio de los monocultivos, personas de varias regiones del país migraron a la ciudad, sobre todo tras la llegada de las multinacionales, cuando la administración pública empezó a darse cuenta de la importancia de los ciudadanos como fuente fértil de ideas para un proyecto de cocreación urbana iniciado en 2005 destinado, por un lado, a aumentar los efectos positivos de las políticas públicas a ser implementadas y, por otro lado, creando salidas para atender la demanda de infraestructura provocada por el aumento de población ocasionado por la instalación BRF/Sadia. Lucas do Rio Verde se reinventó a partir de un proyecto urbano que pretendía satisfacer las demandas de un nuevo tiempo y el resultado de esta planificación fue un gran éxito.

Research status and development trend of altruism in the biological field - knowledge graph analysis based on CiteSpace
Authors: Li Jia , Xianglei Zhu , Guoliang Xu
Published: December 2022

Based on the visualization analysis of foreign literature on altruistic behavior in recent ten years (2012-2022) by CiteSpace, it is found that the research on altruistic behavior in the field of biology abroad has experienced the initial exploratory stage, the outbreak stage, and now enters the stable and deepening stage. The discipline distribution is mainly behavioral ecology, supplemented by evolutionary biology, biomathematics, and genetics. The author has three main cooperative groups, and a relatively tight cooperative network has been formed locally in related fields. From the perspective of cooperation degree, the cooperation density of major research institutions is high, and relevant research has been relatively mature. Judging from the period calculated in the software, altruism, cooperation, kin Selection, reciprocity, and inclusive fitness emerged earlier. In recent years, constitutive theory, density dependence, and Habitat construction have emerged, which may become a new direction for future research. Therefore, future research can expand the scope of disciplines, strengthen the cooperation between authors and units, and explore other research hotspots.
La elección de sí mismo y el proyecto filosófico de Kierkegaard
Authors: Rodríguez Duplá Leonardo
Published: December 2022

La elección de sí mismo es la pieza clave de la teoría ética propuesta en el segundo volumen de O lo uno, o lo otro. El propósito de este trabajo es aclarar el sentido de esa elección mostrando su relación orgánica con otros temas centrales del pensamiento de Kierkegaard (como la verdad subjetiva, la vida estética o la desesperación) y con la estrategia de comunicación indirecta practicada por este autor. Al final del trabajo se aborda brevemente la relación entre el pensamiento filosófico de Kierkegaard y sus convicciones religiosas.
Las relaciones entre la Iglesia católica y el régimen franquista en la revista religiosa Vida Nueva
Authors: Sánchez-Camacho Jesús
Published: December 2022

Tras el Concilio Vaticano II, la Iglesia católica se plantea la revisión del Concordato de 1953 entre la Santa Sede y España. Las negociaciones para la renovación de estos acuerdos no pasan inadvertidas en la sociedad e Iglesia de aquel periodo. La revista Vida Nueva, especializada en la información social y religiosa, asume el mensaje del Concilio e intenta implementarlo en la España de aquel momento, por lo que la negociación sobre un nuevo concordato es uno los temas que aparece con frecuencia en los editoriales del semanario. Este estudio examina los contenidos sobre las relaciones entre la Iglesia y el Estado en el género editorial de esta revista conciliar entre 1968 y 1975. Los resultados muestran la visión de Vida Nueva sobre la revisión de los acuerdos entre ambas instituciones. El semanario se posiciona a favor de pactos parciales de fácil revisión, se opone a los privilegios recíprocos entre la Iglesia y el Régimen, plantea una sana colaboración y respeto entre ambas instituciones, propone un sistema mixto de financiación, manifiesta su oposición al privilegio del fuero eclesiástico, y critica las multas por homilías y los arrestos a los sacerdotes que limitan la libertad de la Iglesia en su acción pastoral.
El Papa cuestionado: manuscritos inéditos de F. Peña sobre las tesis de Alcalá (1601-1602)
Authors: Torrijos Castrillejo David
Published: December 2022

Las “tesis de Alcalá” fueron dos afirmaciones controvertidas defendidas por ciertos jesuitas en la Universidad de Alcalá de Henares en 1601. Una de ellas resultó especialmente desagradable al Papa: “No es de fe que este hombre determinado, por ejemplo, Clemente VIII, sea el Romano Pontífice”. Cuando el Papa Clemente se enteró de este acto teológico se desencadenó la intervención de la Inquisición española, la cual intentó impedir que el Sumo Pontífice se reservara la causa para sí. En este artículo profundizamos en estos acontecimientos gracias a varios manuscritos hasta ahora inéditos. Entre estos documentos, destacan varios de F. Peña, un español que interpretó esa afirmación como una artimaña de la Compañía de Jesús para esquivar la supuestamente inminente condena del jesuita Luis de Molina, cuyo libro acerca de la predestinación divina y la libertad humana estaba siendo examinado en Roma en esos momentos. Los documentos aquí transcritos nos proporcionan nuevos detalles, como el texto preciso de las conclusiones defendidas en Alcalá. Además, es notorio que Peña fue el primero en comprender acertadamente la postura del dominico Domingo Báñez, porque para él sí es de fe que Clemente VIII sea Papa, aunque no lo sea de manera primaria.
Light-Seq Cell Barcoding v2
Authors: Y. Kishi Jocelyn
Published: December 2022

We present Light-Seq, an approach for multiplexed spatial indexing of intact biological samples using light-directed DNA barcoding infixed cells and tissues followed by ex situ sequencing. Light-Seq combines spatially targeted, rapid photocrosslinking of DNA barcodes onto complementary DNAs in situ with a one-step DNA stitching reaction to create pooled, spatially indexed sequencing libraries. This light-directed barcoding enables in situ selection of multiple cell populations in intact fixed tissue samples for full-transcriptome sequencing based on location, morphology or protein stains, without cellular dissociation. Applying Light-Seq to mouse retinal sections, we recovered thousands of differentially enriched transcripts from three cellular layers and discovered biomarkers fora very rare neuronal subtype, dopaminergic amacrine cells, from only 4–8 individual cells per section. Light-Seq provides an accessible workflow to combine in situ imaging and protein staining with next generation sequencing of the same cells, leaving the sample intact for further analysis post-sequencing.

Caracterización anatómica cualitativa de los ejes caulinares en las especies de Piper (L.), clado enckea (Piperaceae)
Authors: Quijano-Abril Mario A. , Silva-Sierra Daniel , Callejas-Posada Ricardo
Published: December 2022

Enckea es uno de los clados con distribución neotropical del género Piper (L.), compuesto por aproximadamente 80 especies que generalmente exhiben hábitos de crecimiento arbóreo, arbustivo, herbáceo y lianescente. Dicho clado es el único al interior de Piper que se distribuye en su mayoría en zonas de bosque seco tropical (BST), con un reducido número de especies distribuidas en bosque húmedo tropical (BHT) de Centro y Sur América. A pesar de la particular distribución de Enckea y de ser un elemento frecuente en el BST, no existen trabajos donde se describa de manera detallada la anatomía caulinar de sus especies. Esta información puede usarse para determinar la relación entre la presencia de estos caracteres anatómicos y el hábitat de las especies. En el presente estudio analizamos la anatomía de los ejes caulinares de 25 especies de Enckea, buscando variaciones morfológicas a nivel de hábitos de crecimiento y tipos de hábitat. Encontramos diferencias en los haces vasculares y tejidos de sostén entre las especies arbustivas y herbáceas, así como la presencia de una endodermis claramente diferenciada en algunas especies de BST. Se registra la presencia de aerénquima en Piper nudilimbum, una especie distribuida en llanuras aluviales de la Amazonía. Aunque se observó un considerable rango de variación morfológica, no hubo una clara diferenciación anatómica a nivel caulinar que permitiera diferenciar rigurosamente las especies de Enckea de BST de las de BHT.
Estudio de la diversidad de serpientes en áreas de bosque perturbado y pastizal en San Vicente del Caguán (Caquetá), Colombia
Authors: Cortes-Ávila Leandro , Toledo José J.
Published: December 2022

Los bosques del municipio de San Vicente del Caguán (Caquetá), Colombia, han sido rápidamente degradados y convertidos en áreas de pastizal en las últimas décadas, causando la pérdida de biodiversidad, aislamiento de poblaciones y en el peor de los casos favoreciendo extinciones locales. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la diversidad de serpientes en cinco áreas de bosque perturbado y pastizal de la región. Los muestreos fueron realizados durante recorridos diurnos y nocturnos. Los especímenes fueron capturados manualmente con ayuda de ganchos y pinzas herpetológicas. Durante cuatro meses de estudio se hallaron 57 individuos distribuidos en cuatro familias, 13 géneros y 19 especies; predominó Colubridae con 14 especies. Helicops angulatus (Linnaeus, 1758) fue la especie más abundante (27 registros) y solamente se registró en el área de pastizal, seguida por Leptodeira annulata (Linnaeus, 1758) con un individuo en el bosque perturbado y siete en el área de pastizal. Las áreas de pastizal fueron las más ricas (15 especies) en comparación con las áreas de bosque perturbado (6). Como método de ordenación fue usado el escalonamiento multidimensional no-métrico (EMNM) que separó dos áreas de bosque perturbado de las de pastizal, lo cual indica que la estructura y composición de especies del área de pastizal difiere de las especies de bosque.  Concluimos que para las dos especies más abundantes, estas podrían ser consideradas como especies persistentes y tolerantes debido a la permanencia y uso de los recursos en ecosistemas con alto grado de perturbación.
