Differential expression of CHP2 in cancer of the skin: malignant melanoma.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: June 2023

Skin cancer is diagnosed in nearly 1.5 million patients each year (1). While patients with basal and squamous cell carcinomas are provided with 5-year survival rates at nearly 100% and 90%, respectively, patients diagnosed with cutaneous melanoma (metastatic melanoma) are provided 5-year survival rates at 91.4% at stage I and 24.6% at stage IV (2-5). We mined published microarray datasets (6, 7) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with the deadliest type of skin cancer, malignant melanoma. We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding calcineurin like EF-hand protein 2, CHP2, when comparing melanoma tumor tissue from the human skin to the tissue of origin. CHP2 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in melanoma tissues as compared to normal tissues from the skin. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of CHP2 in melanoma tissues was correlated with overall survival in patients with malignant melanoma. CHP2 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of malignant melanoma in humans.

Published: June 2023

Accurately modeling time-dependent coseismic crustal deformation as observed on high-rate Global Navigation Satellite System (HR-GNSS) lends insight into earthquake source processes and improves local earthquake and tsunami early warning algorithms. Currently, time-dependent crustal deformation modeling relies most frequently on simplified 1D radially symmetric Earth models. However, for shallow subduction zone earthquakes, even low-frequency shaking is likely affected by the many strongly heterogeneous structures such as the subducting slab, mantle wedge, and the overlying crustal structure. We demonstrate that including 3D structure improves the estimation of key features of coseismic HR-GNSS time series, such as the peak ground displacement (PGD), the time to PGD (tPGD), static displacements (SD), and waveform cross-correlation values. We computed 1D and 3D synthetic, 0.25 Hz and 0.5 Hz waveforms at HR-GNSS stations for four M7.3+ earthquakes in Japan using MudPy and SW4, respectively. From these synthetics, we computed intensity-measure residuals between the synthetic and observed GNSS waveforms. Comparing 1D and 3D residuals, we observed that the 3D simulations show better fits to the PGD and SD in the observed waveforms than the 1D simulations for both 0.25 Hz and 0.5 Hz simulations. We find that the reduction in PGD residuals in the 3D simulations is a combined effect of both shallow and deep 3D structures; hence incorporating only the upper 30 km 3D structure will still improve the fit to the observed PGD values. Our results demonstrate that 3D simulations significantly improve models of GNSS waveform characteristics and will not only help understand the underlying processes, but also improve local tsunami warning.
Effects of different character notations on conversational text in horror works
Authors: Maruyama Shodai , Wakabayashi Masahiro , Ishizu Tomohiro
Published: June 2023

This study aimed to represent sections of conversational text in horror works in normal (including kanji and hiragana), hiragana, and katakana notations, and then investigate differences in the sense of fear and impressions created by each. The experiment participants were 22 male and female university students, who viewed video recordings of chat-format conversational text and responded on a five-point scale with their impressions in seven aspects, including fear. The presented conversational text included two types: ‘fear text’ that originally contained a sense of fear and ‘non-fear text’ that did not. The results showed that katakana notation produced the greatest fear and negative impressions, an effect that was observed in both fear and non-fear texts. No clear difference in impression was observed overall between normal and hiragana notations.
The Compassion Advantage: Leaders Who Care Outperform Leaders Who Share Followers’ Emotions
Authors: Depow Gregory John , Hobson Nicholas M , Beck Jason , Inzlicht Michael , Hougaard Rasmus
Published: June 2023

Effective management of negative emotions in the workplace is critical for organizational success. While leaders may respond to negative emotions with empathy or compassion, evidence suggests that a compassionate focus may be more effective for managing negative emotions and promoting positive outcomes. In this set of 6 studies (combined N = 3,647 leaders, N = 1,006 followers), we introduce the Compassion-Empathy Leader Focus task, a novel situational-judgment task to index leaders' tendency to focus on sharing (empathy) or caring (compassion) when engaging with negative follower emotions. In studies 1-5 we provide initial evidence for the construct and predictive validity of our task and highlight the practical implications of a compassion focus for leader well-being. In study 6 we leveraged a diverse global sample of over 2,000 leaders and more than a thousand of their followers to show that a leader's compassion focus benefits not only the leader but their followers as well. Our research suggests that training programs for leaders should emphasize a compassion focus when managing negative emotions, as this approach is associated with improved outcomes for both leaders and followers. These findings have important implications for current issues in management, including the growing importance of employee well-being in the workplace.
Contribution of Pitch Measures over Time to Emotion Classification Accuracy
Authors: van Rijn Pol , Poeppel David , Larrouy-Maestri Pauline
Published: June 2023

Speech carries information about the emotional state of a speaker. Empirical evidence shows that acoustic cues in emotional prosody change over time. Here, we compile and implement a list of proposed features to capture the change of pitch over time. Our results show that these measures significantly improve the classification of emotions when applied in addition to a standard feature set for emotional prosody. We show that the improvement over baseline is present when applying the same procedure to different corpora. This study demonstrates that changes of F0 contain useful information for the classification of emotions and pave the way for a better understanding of the role of acoustic features in emotion recognition.
Resource bounds on mental simulations: Evidence from a fluid-reasoning task
Authors: Ullman Tomer David , Wang YingQiao
Published: June 2023

eople are able to reason about the physical dynamics of everyday objects. One proposal for the computations underlying this ability is that people are running an approximate mental simulation of their environment. However, such a simulation must be limited in its resources. We applied the notion of a resource-bound simulation to a fluid reasoning task, and show people’s changing behavior can be explained by an approximate simulation that hits a resource limit after some time elapses. In Experiments 1 and 2, people performed well on tasks that asked them to estimate the time-to-fill and water level of different containers, when filled over short periods of time (1-7 seconds). Experiment 3 shows systematic biases in visual volume estimation, which further strengthens the proposal that people are using a simulation to solve the first two experiments. Experiment 4 extends the reasoning time for the time-to-fill task, and shows the existence of a ‘switch point’, as expected from a resource-bound simulation model. The model also accounts for individual differences: People who perform worse on a digit-span task have an earlier switch point.
Cut-off scores for the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale–short form (BIS–15): sense and nonsense
Authors: Meule Adrian
Published: June 2023

The Barratt Impulsiveness Scale–short form (BIS–15) is a self-report questionnaire for the assessment of impulsivity as a trait (Spinella, 2007). I have received several requests by researchers and practitioners that have asked me what cut-off score the BIS–15 has. The answer is that is does not have one. In this manuscript, I will try to answer why that is, why it is probably not necessary to have one, and which scores may still be considered as “high”.
Perceptual discrimination of action formidableness and friendliness and the impact of autistic traits
Authors: Vlasceanu Alessia M , Barraclough Nick Edward
Published: June 2023

The ability to determine whether the actions of other individuals are friendly or formidable are key decisions we need to make to successfully navigate our complex social environment. In this study we measured perceptual performance when discriminating actions that vary in their friendliness or formidableness, and whether performance was related to the autistic traits of individuals. To do this, we developed an action morphing method to generate novel actions that lied along the action quality dimensions of formidableness and friendliness. In Experiment 1 we show that actions that vary along the formidableness or friendliness continua were rated as varying monotonically along the respective quality. In Experiment 2 we measured the ability of individuals with different levels of autistic traits to discriminate action formidableness and friendliness using adaptive 2-AFC procedures. We found considerable variation in perceptual thresholds when discriminating action formidableness (~540% interindividual variation) or action friendliness (~1100% interindividual variation). However, we found no evidence that this variance in action discrimination ability was affected by individuals’ autistic traits. We attribute these findings to the ability of individuals with varying levels of autistic traits and different cognitive styles to achieve similar performance outcomes when attempting to determine action formidableness and friendliness.
Individual differences in human gaze behavior generalize from faces to objects
Authors: Broda Maximilian Davide , de Haas Benjamin
Published: June 2023

Individuals differ in where they fixate on a face, with some looking closer to the eyes while others prefer the mouth region. These individual biases are highly robust, generalize from the lab to the outside world, and have been associated with social cognition and associated disorders. However, it is unclear, whether these biases are specific to faces or influenced by domain-general mechanisms of vision. Here, we juxtaposed these hypotheses by testing whether individual face fixation biases generalize to inanimate objects. We analyzed > 1.8 million fixations towards faces and objects in complex natural scenes from 405 participants tested in multiple labs. Consistent interindividual differences in fixation positions were highly inter-correlated across faces and objects in all samples. Observers who fixated closer to the eye region also fixated higher on inanimate objects and vice versa. Furthermore, the inter-individual spread of fixation positions scaled with target size in precisely the same, non-linear manner for faces and objects. These findings contradict a purely domain-specific account of individual face gaze. Instead, they suggest significant domain-general contributions to the individual way we look at faces, a finding with potential relevance for basic vision, face perception, social cognition, and associated clinical conditions.

Published: June 2023

Background: Post-acute COVID symptoms have become a major health concern and one of the most important causes of morbidity throughout the world. Hence, it is important to document the pattern of presentation in post-COVID syndrome patients in India, which has been one of the countries with the largest acute COVID-19 infections.
Aims and Objectives: This study was done to estimate the prevalence of post-acute COVID syndrome in patients recovered from acute COVID infection and to determine the factors influencing with its incidence.
Materials and Methods: Community-based observational study in which patients who have recovered from acute COVID infection 3–6 months before the study period were selected using multistage sampling. Data were collected through house visits using a pre-validated questionnaire containing details of acute COVID-19 infection, treatment taken, vaccination status before the infection, symptoms in the period between 4 and 12 weeks, and symptoms after 12 weeks of acute COVID infection.
Results: Out of the 265 patients studied, 14.34% had ongoing symptomatic COVID-19 in the first 3 months of acute illness and 9.81% had post-COVID symptoms even after 3 months. 17.74% of the patients had a history of pre-existing comorbid illnesses and 31.32% had received two doses of vaccination before acquiring COVID-19 infection. 92.83% were treated in home quarantine, 4.91% needed hospitalization without oxygen supplementation, and 2.26% required oxygen or ventilatory support. The most common post-COVID symptoms reported were tiredness, easy fatiguability, breathlessness, and body ache. Female gender, presence of comorbidities, and mode of treatment had a significant role in predicting the incidence of post-COVID symptoms.
Conclusion: The study clearly showed that the severity of acute COVID infection has a significant correlation with the incidence of both ongoing symptomatic COVID and post-COVID syndrome. Other factors that increased the incidence included female gender and pre-existing comorbidities.

The current paper has described the method of developing a spring shot wheat variety (Triticum sphaerococcum Percival) Sakara and its characteristics. The purpose of the current study was to show the efficiency of the ongoing breeding work with Indian dwarf, using the variety ‘Sakara’ as an example, to increase grain productivity and resistance to leaf-stem fungal diseases, while maintaining the high grain quality characteristic of shot wheats. Research methods were adapted for shot wheat based on the methods adopted in spring bread wheat breeding. The developed variety has features characteristic for a species, namely a short strong non-lodging stem and, as a result, 9 points of lodging resistance; a shot kernel shape with 25.6 g of 1000-grain weight; a dense, non-drooping head; excellent quality indicators of grain and flour, according to most indicators corresponding to GOST 34702-2020 for strong wheat. The T. sphaerococcum species, due to its characteristic morphological features, has a lower grain productivity than T. aestivum, mean productivity of the variety ‘Sakara’ for three years of testing was 34 % less than that of the standard spring bread wheat variety ‘Yoldyz’. There has been shown that the developed variety in our soil-climatic zone is characterized by high field resistance to powdery mildew (2 points of resistance on average over the years), leaf rust (there were only single pustules during the years of a strong spread of the disease). With artificial infection of seeds with the inuclium of hard smut, the damage degree of the variety averaged 7 %. The first spring shot wheat variety ‘Sakara’ has been recommended in the State List of Breeding Achievements since 2023 for cultivation from 1 to 12 regions.

Published: June 2023

The main source of vegetable protein in the world are leguminous crops, among which peas are the most common in Russia. Dozens and even hundreds of genes are involved in the regulation of biological processes associated with the maturation of seeds and the accumulation of reserve nutrients in them, including proteins. The study conducted on legume species related to peas indicate that one of the genes at the highest hierarchical level in this regulatory chain is the ABI3 transcription factor gene; however, its role in the biosynthesis and accumulation of seed storage proteins remains poorly studied. The purpose of the current work is to identify high-protein pea genotypes and analyze the nucleotide sequences of the coding region of the ABI3 gene to search for possible DNA polymorphisms associated with protein percentage in their seeds. The study was carried out in 2020–2021. The objects of the study were 37 pea varieties from the collection of genetic resources of leguminous crops of VIR. Protein percentage in seeds was determined by the Bradford method. Selection of primers and comparative analysis of nucleotide sequences were performed using the PrimerSelect and MegAlign programs. Sequencing was performed according to the Sanger method. There were identified pea varieties with the highest (‘Aksaisky Usaty 55’, ‘Sakharny’) and low (‘K-8361’ (VIR), ‘Fregat’) seed protein percentage. In these variety samples, the coding region of the ABI3 gene was sequenced. Comparative analysis of their nucleotide sequences with the sequence of the ABI3 gene fragment annotated in the GenBank database revealed significant variability among them: nucleotide substitutions, deletion of 6 nucleotides. In the high protein variety ‘Sakharny’, there has been found a 9-nucleotide insertion, leading to the insertion of three additional amino acids, and in the low-protein variety Fregat, there has been found a single nucleotide insertion, causing a shift in the reading frame. The data obtained may indicate a correlation between mutations in the ABI3 gene and protein accumulation in pea seeds.

The current paper has presented the study results of rheological and baking properties of 4 winter durum wheat varieties in mixtures with common wheat. The purpose of the study was to research the rheological properties of the dough and estimate the baking qualities of winter durum wheat varieties of the FSBSI “ARC “Donskoy” mixed with winter common wheat and in its pure form. The objects of the study were 4 varieties ‘Kristella’, ‘Amazonka’, ‘Eirena’, ‘Yakhont’ grown in the competitive variety testing of the laboratory for breeding and seed production of winter durum wheat in 2019–2021. In the preparation of mixtures, there has been used the winter common wheat variety ‘Univer’. There was added 10 %, 30 %, 50 %, 70 %, 90 % of each durum wheat variety to the flour of the variety ‘Univer’. The laboratory baking was carried out in accordance with the method, a non-dough method with repeated kneading. The physical and rheological properties of the mixtures were determined using a farinograph. The configuration of the farinogram was estimated according to the method proposed by Vasilchuk N. S. The varietal grinding of the samples was carried out on an MLU-202 Buller mill. Mathematical and statistical processing of the study results was performed according to B. A. Dospekhov using MS Excel 2010. There has been found out that the winter common wheat variety ‘Kristella’ is most appropriate to use in mixtures with common wheat, but not more than 50%. The rheological and baking properties of the winter durum wheat variety ‘Amazonka’ in a mixture with common wheat of the variety ‘Univer’ were most fully revealed at a ratio of 10–50%. The winter durum wheat varieties ‘Eirena’ and ‘Yakhont’ can be used to improve common wheat flour, as well as in an independent form for baking. In the process of current study, there have been established the varietal differences in rheological and baking properties. The use of farinographic analysis in winter durum wheat breeding made it possible to identify samples with the required severity of the rheological and physical properties of the dough. Selection of durum wheat can be carried out in two such directions as pasta quality and baking properties.

Published: June 2023

The current paper has presented a historical excursion and an overview of scientific research on breeding and seed production of winter and spring barley in the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution Agricultural Research Center “Donskoy”. The Southern Federal District includes 8 subjects of the Russian Federation, namely Sevastopol; republics of Adygea, Kalmykia, Crimea; Krasnodar Territory, Astrakhan, Volgograd and Rostov regions. Barley is the main grain forage crop in terms of sown area. Don farmers have long shown interest in this valuable, diverse crop, very unpretentious to the cultivation conditions. Barley breeding work began in our institution in 1932 and is still ongoing, with short interruptions, to the present. Research was carried out in various areas: breeding of winter, spring and facultative barley, seed production and technology of their cultivation. In the XXI-st century, the researchers of the barley department developed new innovative directions in barley breeding, there were developed two-row brewing varieties with high malting rates (the variety ‘Randevu’) in winter barley breeding and in spring barley breeding there were developed fodder barley (green fodder) varieties (the variety ‘Novik’), which were previously absent in the State List of the Russian Federation. In 2014 there were opened new directions in the department, namely the development of hulles spring barley varieties and awnless winter barley varieties. Since 2016, there has been carried out an active work to identify winter barley lines that are genetically resistant to net blotch. Together with the All-Russian Research Institute of Radiology and Agroecology, there was carried out an estimation of the radiosensitivity of winter and spring barley varieties to identify varieties being resistant to the environmental stress factors. Based on research materials, there were successfully defended 11 candidate and two doctoral dissertations, there were published eight monographs and more than 400 scientific articles.

The current study was carried out to research the adaptive potential of winter wheat varieties depending on the level of mineral nutrition in the soil and climatic conditions of the north of the Rostov region in 2012–2018. The objects of the study were 10 winter wheat varieties bred by FGBSI FRARC. Between 2012 and 2014 there were studied 6 wheat varieties (the first group), in 2015–2018 there were studied 4 ones (second group). The soil of the experimental plot was represented by southern medium-thick calcareous chernozem. The experimental scheme included 12 backgrounds of mineral nutrition. Crops were laid weedfree fallow, the seeding rate was 4 million germinating seeds per 1 ha for each agricultural variant. Agro-climatic conditions in the experimental years were contrasting. As a result of the study, there was found that in the first group of varieties, the factor ‘variety’ had the greatest influence on productivity formation (64.4 %), in the second group it was the factor ‘agrobackground’ (71.0 %). Productive possibilities (according to the coefficient of adaptability) of the varieties ‘Donskaya Lira’, ‘Donna’, ‘Zolushka’, ‘Boyarynya’ and ‘Donera’ were high, they amounted to 101–108 %. In contrasting conditions of mineral nutrition, the above listed varieties had an optimal ratio between the needs of the genotype and the level of the agricultural background. The varieties ‘Boyarynya’ and ‘Donna’ in their groups formed the maximum yield with 6.71 t/ha of for ‘Boyarynya’ and 6.42 t/ha for ‘Donna’. In the course of the current work, there was found that the varieties ‘Missiya’ and ‘Tarasovskaya 70’ had high adaptability to a limited amount of fertilizers. The optimal combination of parameters of ecological adaptability and stability were found for the varieties ‘Donskaya Lira’, ‘Boyarynya’, ‘Vestnitsa’, ‘Donstar’, ‘Donera’. They had a wide range of adaptive capabilities, therefore, under production conditions, they could produce a stable grain yield with various variations in the level of mineral nutrition.

The current study was carried out in the southern part of the Rostov region in the agrotechnical crop rotation of the laboratory for grain cultivation technology. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of such factors as a forecrop and sowing time on productivity and grain quality of the winter common wheat variety ‘Zodiak’. During the study, there was found that the variety ‘Zodiak’ produced up to 9.70 t/ha. There was established that the high adaptability of the variety ‘Zodiak’ made it possible to obtain high yields at different sowing dates, however, there was a tendency to form maximum productivity when sowing at the optimal time for the area (20 and 30 of September). There was found that the large productivity of the crop sown in black fallow was ensured by the number of productive stems (up to 596 pcs/m2) and productivity per head (number of kernels per head up to 31.3 pcs., grain weight per head up to 1.42 g). For all forecrops in the variant with a late sowing time, there was a decrease in number of kernels per head (by 6.2–22.9 %) and mass of grain per head (by 1.7–11.7 %) compared with earlier sowing dates. Biochemical analysis has shown that when sown in black fallow and after peas, the yielded grain had the maximum protein per-centage on average up to 14.1 % and 13.3 %, respectively. There has been established that the variety ‘Zodiak’ could form high-quality grain even when it was sown after sunflower (with 12.3–12.6 % of protein and 22.5–23.5 % of gluten). The best economic indicators in the cultivation of the variety ‘Zodiak’ were obtained when it was sown in black fallow, with up to 191 % of profitability, up to 77993 rubles/ha of conditional net income.

Published: June 2023

3D digital profiles are key information in many areas of knowledge, from medical to agricultural or industry. And in order to achieve reliable digitized surfaces we can have in hand techniques using laser, digital cameras, structured light associated to image processing tools. To choosethe best technique we face some challenges based on the application itself, but on the cost of equipment, on the robustness and on the computational cost and programming complexity. This work aimed to address a reliable, robust and accessible methodology using just one camera and a light projector to, with mathematical models, generate digital 3D surfaces. The mathematical model was designed using the geometry of the system (camera, projector and object) with additional routine to adjust the optimum values of the variables involved. We validated the proposed method with known objects and presented a 3D reconstruction of objects that are difficult to achieve manually, such as a callote and the back of human-being. The results showed that the mathematical model created conditions to provide reliable outcomes from a low cost devices (webcam and regular light projector) usage, with correction of warping caused by perspective.
Artrocentesis en el servicio de emergencias
Authors: Jenkins Retana Stephanie , Rojas González Sharon Meybelin , Castillo Cordero Alexis
Published: June 2023

La artrocentesis consiste en puncionar una articulación con la finalidad de extraer líquido intraarticular, ya sea con fines diagnósticos o terapéuticos. Generalmente, no todas las personas que se presentan al servicio de emergencias con características de tumefacción, dolor e impotencia funcional de una articulación ameritan una artrocentesis, por lo que se ha vuelto imprescindible identificar los casos en que sí se amerita la realización en el servicio de emergencias. Se ha demostrado que con una técnica adecuada y bajo las correctas medidas asépticas puede ser una práctica segura, sin embargo, no se considera un procedimiento inofensivo del todo. La complicación más temida es la inoculación de bacterias, que puede generar una artritis séptica, así como otras complicaciones no infecciosas como ruptura de tendón, atrofia nerviosa, cambios cutáneos o hasta osteonecrosis. Actualmente, se ha implementado la infiltración intraarticular de sustancias, como glucocorticoides, como medida terapéutica por el aumento en enfermedades degenerativas que comprometen las articulaciones, especialmente articulaciones grandes, como es el caso de la rodilla o cadera. Ya que las indicaciones de artrocentesis no son del todo claras, se exponen en la presente revisión bibliográfica algunos aspectos importantes a considerar a la hora de decidir si es conveniente realizar o no una artrocentesis en el servicio de emergencias.

To improve the status of public health and carry out social security programs in the health sector, the government started to implement the National Health Insurance. This program covers the participants’ medical care expenses using the capitation system applied in health centers as the First-Level Health Facilities. BPJS Kesehatan has allocated some budget in the form of a capitation rate to first-level health facilities for hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus patients after the implementation of National Health Insurance. This research was carried out in 4 health centers, namely Lamper Tengah Health Center, Mangkang Health Center, Mijen Health Center, and Karanganyar Health Center. The data were collected retrospectively from the medical records of 800 patients. The data were analyzed descriptively to determine the prescription cost and Spearman's rho test was used to find the factors that influence the prescription cost. It was revealed that the average prescription cost for type 2 DM patients was IDR 142,293, and for hypertensive patients was IDR 112,735. The prescribing pattern in patients covered by Prolanis program for type 2 DM patients is a combination of glimepiride, metformin with a drug price of IDR 20,670. Factors that have an influence on prescription costs are diagnosis p= 0.033, type of drug (p= 0.000) and drug item (p= 0.000). This study concludes that the factors to influence the drug costs of Prolanis patients at the health centers of Semarang City were the patient's diagnosis, the type of drug given, and the number of drug items given.
Subclinical Hypothyroidism among Patients with COVID-19 Infection in a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Adhikari Prabin , Singh Rasu
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Hypothyroidism occurs as a consequence of chronic autoimmune inflammation of the thyroid gland, which occurs due to the reduced function in the secretion of thyroid hormones. The coronavirus disease infection has shown many complications in all organic systems, during the acute phase of infection and in the post-COVID-19 period. SARS-CoV-2 may induce thyroid dysfunction that is usually reversible, including subclinical and atypical thyroiditis. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism among patients with COVID-19 infection in a tertiary care centre.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Internal Medicine of a tertiary care centre from 1 September 2022 to 28 February 2023 after obtaining ethical approval from the Research and Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 15-079/080). Convenience sampling method was used. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated.
Results: Among 38 patients with COVID-19, subclinical hypothyroidism was seen among 23 (60.53%) (44.99-76.07, 95% Confidence Interval).
Conclusions: The prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism among COVID-19 patients was found to be similar to other studies done in similar settings.
Áreas naturales protegidas. ¿Solución o parte del problema? De la Patagonia al Chaco argentino

En este trabajo indagamos acerca de cómo las lógicas que impulsaron la creación de los primeros Parques Nacionales de Argentina, en el marco de la expansión del Estado-nación y el establecimiento del capitalismo en la región, continúan modelando los diseños actuales de conservación. Al respecto, nuestra hipótesis señala que a través de la implementación de nuevos Parques Nacionales se reproducen formas de pensar y relacionarse con el ambiente que, en lugar de brindar soluciones, en varios aspectos profundizan las problemáticas socioambientales. Para corroborar lo propuesto, revisamos el proceso de creación del Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi, primero de Argentina, para luego ponerlo en relación con el diseño del Parque Nacional El Impenetrable, uno de los últimos en implementarse en el país. Tras analizar fuentes diversas, complementadas con instancias de observación participante, detectamos la continuidad de un abordaje fragmentario y la persistente negación de historias, relaciones y conocimientos propios de los mundos sobre los que recae la implementación de Parques Nacionales. Además, problematizamos sobre cómo las áreas naturales protegidas legitiman el modo de producción y la racionalidad utilitaria que condujeron a las crisis socioambientales actuales.

Banks as existential but uncontested Evil of the world economy (about the 2022 Nobel prize in economics)
Authors: Vasiliev Vladimir S.
Published: June 2023

The author examines the complex of reasons that prompted the Nobel Committee to award the Nobel Prize in Economics for 2022 to former Federal Reserve System chairman B. Bernanke (2006-2014). The award was granted not only to B. Bernanke, now a leading researcher at the Brookings Institute (Washington, D.C.), as well as to two other American economists - a professor at the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business D. Diamond and a professor of Washington University (St. Louis, Missouri) F. Dybvig for their research of the mechanism of the banking system functioning during financial crises. It is emphasized that the awarding of the Nodel prize to B. Bernanke and two other American economists was politically biased and intended to “rehabilitate” the monetary policy pursued by the FRS in 2007-2009 during the Great Recession. In the long run it led in the early 2020s to record inflation rate in 40 years. During his tenure as Chairman of the Fed, Bernanke, as a supporter of the monetary theory of the Great Depression of the 1930s, proposed in 1963 by the head of the Chicago School of monetarists M. Friedman, deliberately departed from the main regulatory norm of the former monetary policy, formulated in 1993 by Stanford University professor J. Taylor (the so-called “Taylor rules”). It provided for the constant excess of the federal fund rate over the current inflation rate in order to keep the consumer price index growth under constant control of the US monetary authorities. As a result of arbitrary actions by the FRS under the leadership of B. Bernanke, at the end of 2008 the federal fund rate was lowered to zero, and since then it has been consistently below the inflation index. As a result, in the early 2020s, the Fed lost control over inflationary processes in the American economy. These actions of the Fed were a direct consequence of the incorrect diagnosis made by B. Bernanke. He stated that the main threat to the American economy in XXI century, as in the 1930s, is a hypothetical deflationary mode of operation, although since the end of World War II the US economy functioned exclusively in an inflationary mode. Combined with the uncontrolled use of the printing press and exorbitant lending in the period 2007-2009 the Fed managed to minimize the crisis in the US banking system, in fact, to save it, at the cost of transforming the so-called “liquidity trap” into a “debt trap”. The Nobel Prize was awarded to B. Bernanke by the Swedish Central Bank for saving both the American and the leading segments of the world banking system, however, at present, the general population and various sectors of the real economy have to pay for such experiments in monetary policy.
