Published: March 2024

Este trabajo presenta los resultados del análisis de los procesos de elaboración de vasijas cerámicas procedentes del sitio Laguna Las Lágrimas, localizado en el noreste del Campo de Dunas del Centro Pampeano (SO Santa Fe, Argentina). La identificación de macrotrazas vinculadas a las primeras etapas de la manufactura cerámica ha permitido reconocer una variedad de técnicas de elaboración de vasijas empleadas por los cazadores-recolectores pampeanos durante el Holoceno tardío (cal AD 599: cal AD 668). La evaluación de los resultados sugiere el uso de la misma técnica documentada en otros sitios (rodeteado), e identifica otros procesos de formación, como el ahuecado, aún no registrados en el Campo de Dunas del Centro Pampeano. La técnica de rodeteado no siempre se asoció a los mismos gestos técnicos. Entre otros, se identificó la confección de una vasija sobre una estera, en la que se dejó hasta el punto en el que se pudiera manipular y remover. Tomando en cuenta la dispersión geográfica de la técnica de rodeteado, la información generada brinda un panorama más acotado para la identificación de la tradición cerámica asociada a los grupos cazadores recolectores del Campo de Dunas del Centro Pampeano durante el Holoceno tardío, en general. Junto con esto, provee la primera evidencia de las técnicas utilizadas en los procesos de fabricación de vasijas en los ambientes lagunares localizados en su sector noreste.
Community resilience in Spanish depopulated rural areas: A systematic review
Authors: López Carlassare Ana Laura , Palma García María de las Olas
Published: March 2024

Research on community resilience has been ongoing for decades. Several studies have been carried out on resilience in different groups and contexts. However, few address the relationship between community resilience and depopulated rural areas. This study aims to dig deeper into this, considering the concrete impact of population decline in Spain. We carried out a systematic review of the most relevant contributions. A search protocol was developed and used to consult ten databases. Different combinations of terms such as ‘community resilience’, ‘rural’, and ‘depopulation’, or related terms, were used. 22 scientific texts were analysed. We obtained a set of publications that demonstrate the heterogeneity of research methods, approaches and analytical processes applied to the study of this relationship. A mostly qualitative approach was observed, either as the main technique or complementary to documentary reviews. The results underscore the complex nature of rural depopulation and related constructs. It emphasizes the specific importance of community resilience in these territories in terms of social capital, endogenous resources, sustainability, economic dynamism, local responsibility and effective governance. The findings identify a scarce mention to social intervention professions, which should have a more important role due to their core values. In the studies reviewed, it appears as an emerging and scientifically relevant area to explore, both for investigation and intervention purposes. The strength of a multidisciplinary approach to addressing the phenomena appears in the discussion as a main potential line of research.
Information about life expectancy related to obesity is most important to cat owners when deciding whether to act on a veterinarian's weight loss recommendation
Authors: Sutherland Katja A. , Coe Jason B. , Groves Catherine N. H. , Shepherd Megan L. , Grant Lauren E.
Published: March 2024

OBJECTIVE

To determine the relative importance of information communicated to cat owners during veterinarian-client obesity-related conversations.

SAMPLE

Cat owner participants recruited via snowball sampling.

METHODS

A cross-sectional online questionnaire was distributed to cat owners who owned cats of any weight status. A discrete choice experiment design was used to determine the relative importance of obesity-related attributes to cat owners when receiving information from a veterinarian.

RESULTS

A total of 1,095 questionnaires were analyzed. Participating cat owners resided primarily in Canada and the US. Impact on life expectancy was the most important attribute that would encourage participants to pursue weight management for a cat with obesity (relative importance, 32.66%), followed by change to cost of food (20.40%), future quality of life (20.38%), future mobility (14.40%), and risk of developing diabetes (12.15%).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Findings suggest that cat owners consider the impact on life expectancy to be most important when considering whether to follow a veterinarian's recommendation for their cat to lose weight. When veterinary professionals are communicating about obesity in practice, there is the potential to increase owner engagement in weight management efforts for cats by emphasizing the obesity-related information owners prefer to receive.
The role of TIM3+ NK and TIM3- NK cells in the immune pathogenesis of severe aplastic anemia
Authors: Ding Shaoxue , Zhang Tian , Lei Yingying , Liu Chunyan , Liu Zhaoyun , Fu Rong
Published: March 2024

Background

Natural killer (NK) cells play important immunoregulatory roles in the immune pathogenesis of severe aplastic anemia (SAA). Our previous research showed that SAA caused a decrease in T cell immunoglobulin mucin-3 (TIM3) expression on NK cells. Here we investigated the expression of surface receptors, and the cytotoxicity of peripheral TIM3+ NK and TIM3- NK cells in patients with SAA.

Methods

The expressions of surface receptors and cytoplasmic protein of TIM3+ NK and TIM3- NK cells from peripheral blood were detected by FCM. The functions of mDCs, and apoptosis rate of K562 cells after co-culture with TIM3+ NK and TIM3- NK cells were maesured by FCM. Westren-blot was used to detect the changes of TIM3+ NK and TIM3- NK signaling pathway proteins (AKT, P-AKT) and compare the functional activity of the two groups.

Results

Activating receptors NKG2D and Granzyme B were higher, while inhibiting receptors NKG2A, CD158a and CD158b were lower on TIM3- NK cells compared with TIM3+ NK cells in patients with SAA. In SAA, the expression of CD80 and CD86 on mDCs (Myeloid dendritic cells) was significantly decreased after incubation with TIM3- NK cells. The apoptosis rate (AR) of K562 cells was significantly increased after being incubated with TIM3- NK cells in SAA. The level of signal pathway protein AKT of TIM3- NK cells in SAA was similar to that of TIM3+ NK cells, and the levels of P-AKT and P-AKT/AKT ratio of TIM3- NK cells were significantly higher than those of TIM3+ NK cells.

Conclusions

Therefore, TIM3 exerts its inhibitory effect on NK cells and participates in the immune pathogenesis of SAA. Low expression of TIM3 contributes to the enhancement of NK cell activity which in turn inhibits the immune activation state of SAA and improves the disease state. Our research may aid the development of new therapeutic strategies based on TIM3-NK cells infusion for the treatment of SAA.
Spatiotemporal analysis of the effects of exercise on the hemodynamics of the aorta in hypertensive rats using fluid-structure interaction simulation
Authors: Wang Yueshen , Yu Haiyi , Shi Quanyou , Xu Ming , Gao Wei
Published: March 2024

Background and Objective

Hemodynamic changes that lead to increased blood pressure represent the main drivers of organ damage in hypertension. Prolonged increases to blood pressure can lead to vascular remodeling, which also affects vascular hemodynamics during the pathogenesis of hypertension. Exercise is beneficial for relieving hypertension, however the mechanistic link between exercise training and how it influences hemodynamics in the context of hypertension is not well understood.

Methods

n exercise model was developed using spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) subject to a 12-week treadmill training regime. The heart rates and blood pressures of rats were measured using the tail cuff method, while micro-computed tomography (CT) scanning was used to develop three-dimensional structures of rat aorta, and ultrasound was used to detect rat aortic blood flow and changes to vessel wall structures. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and fluid-structure interaction (FSI) models were used to simulate and measure hemodynamic parameters of the rat aortic vessels. In parallel, Masson staining was performed on fixed samples of blood vessels to investigate collagen volume fraction. Hypertensive rats in the sedentary and long-term exercise training groups were subjected to a single bout exercise training, and their aortic hemodynamic parameters were analyzed before, 5 min, 24 h, and 72 h after the single bout exercise.

Results

Of the two models, in comparison to actual ultrasonic measurement values recorded, we found that numerical simulation results from the FSI model could more accurately model blood flow in the ascending aorta of hypertensive rats, compared to the CFD model. Moreover, longterm exercise training improved local hemodynamic parameters of blood vessels, and led to improvements in adverse hemodynamic features documented, including time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS), oscillatory shear index (OSI), and relative residence time (RRT). Longterm exercise training of SHR also improved local vascular collagen deposition in the aorta, while improvements in vascular remodeling were also correlated with favorable hemodynamic parameters. Compared with sedentary SHR, signals for low TAWSS regions of the aortic arch in SHR on the long-term exercise regime shifted to the position of the ascending aorta after a single bout of exercise.

Conclusions

This study demonstrates that FSI is informative to study the spatiotemporal effects of long-term exercise training on hemodynamic changes within the aortas of hypertensive rats, and that long-term exercise is beneficial through its effects to modulate vascular hemodynamics in hypertension.
NUMERICAL SIMULATION SHEAR-THICKENING FLUID THROUGH A SMALL-SCALED HEAT EXCHANGER
Authors: Hamoudi HacÃ¨ne , Bouzit Mohamed
Published: March 2024

This paper aims to predict the behavior of a complex fluid though a small-sized thermal exchanger. The fluid used is of shear-thickening type of power-law index (n = 1.4) and Prandtl number (Pr = 50). The Ostwald model was utilized to define the dynamic viscosity. The exchanger consists of three rectangular cross-section tubes placed inside a thermally insulated chamber. The enclosure contains two ports for the entry and exit of the complex fluid. The complex fluid enters the chamber from the first port at a constant speed and at a low temperature, and then it passes around the hot tubes to be cooled. The rheological behavior of a fluid is defined by Ostwald equation, while the intensity of thermal buoyancy was modeled by Boussinesq approximation. The results showed that the increase of the velocity of the flow at the entrance increases the instability of the flow. Increasing the intensity of thermal buoyancy reduces the cooling process of the hot upper body.

The design of bridge structures often develops over time, as well as the development of criteria as well as applied sciences that are developed and sustainable with the rules that have been listed. The truss type bridge structure is one type of bridge that is often used in Indonesia. Based on Binamarga standards, the bridge is planned with a design life of 50 years, the 50 years of this course will be followed by an orderly and good maintenance. The 50-year period is used as a standard taking into account the existence of material innovations used to the loads that will affect the bridge. Software development certainly supports the design at the beginning of the bridge project construction, in this case the bridge project uses SAP90 and STAAD-Pro as software to support this bridge design. Until now, of course, the software used is very diverse, one of which is ETABS, which is used in the design of a construction project. The existence of a thorough structural analysis with load analysis to connection analysis is the stage in the analysis for the condition of the bridge to the load with several reduction factors to load values that have different requirements. With a thorough design with 2D analysis along with ETABS software, based on the latest SNI 1725-2016 rules regarding the loading of bridges, a higher steel weight ratio is obtained when compared to the initial design, but this can be overcome by monitoring maintenance to the extent that In particular, some intensive handling is required for the safety and function of the bridge.

This study investigates the use of indirect communication strategies within an educational institution in Jakarta, Indonesia, focusing on discussing their significance in achieving communication objectives within professional contexts. The primary emphasis is on how these indirect communication strategies are applied to cultivate supportive relationships and create a favourable professional environment within educational settings. The following research questions guide the ethnographic study: 1) How are indirect communication strategies employed in educational organisations? and 2) What factors influence the adoption of these communication strategies? This research utilised four data collection methods: participant observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis. Participants in this study included school principals, vice-principals, teachers, support staff, students, and parents from a state primary school in Jakarta, Indonesia. The study's findings reveal that indirect communication strategies are predominantly employed to achieve various communication objectives, such as conveying humour, expressing frustration, delivering implied messages, seeking assistance, and expressing uncertainty. These strategies are deeply rooted in the cultural context, particularly influenced by Betawi culture, which strongly emphasises preserving social harmony and promoting respectful interactions. Several influential factors, including shared cultural values, power dynamics, and age, were identified as elements affecting the adoption of these indirect communication strategies.

Authors: Sivaroja Yellaturi , Sowmini P. R. , Muralidharan K. , Reddy P. G. Pavan Kumar , Mugundhan K.
Published: March 2024

Objectives:

Demyelinating diseases of central nervous system (CNS) are a broad spectrum of conditions with autoimmune process against myelin. In a resource limited country like India, it is imperative to perform proper clinical evaluation, neuroimaging to differentiate among various categories of CNS demyelinating diseases to decide regarding further workup and treatment. The objective of our study was to determine clinical presentation, imaging findings, serology results, diagnosis, and treatment outcome of primary demyelinating disorders of CNS.

Materials and Methods:

In this prospective study, a total of 44 patients were enrolled over a period of 1 year. After proper evaluation, patients were categorized into different groups applying newer diagnostic criteria. Patients were treated with steroids, appropriate immunomodulatory therapy, and outcomes were analyzed.

Results:

The majority of cases were of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) (45.5%) with an overall female-to-male ratio of 3.4:1 and mean age of presentation was 30.5 ± 11.15. Myelitis (52.3%) followed by optic neuritis (45.5%) was the most common initial presentation. The most common site of involvement on magnetic resonance imaging was the spinal cord (particularly the cervicodorsal cord). The majority showed good response to therapy (77.27%) and two patients did not survive.

Conclusion:

Higher disability observed among seropositive NMOSD patients warrants aggressive treatment during the first attack itself. It is important to suspect myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease in patients with preceding viral infection. A good outcome in the majority is likely due to the availability of serological assays and aggressive immunomodulatory therapy.
Yitzhak Rabin and His Place in History: The Oslo Misadventure and the Need for a Better Historical Account
Authors: Fishman Joel
Published: March 2024

This paper advocates a critical understanding of the history of Yitzhak Rabin and the Oslo experience. It shows how from his earliest days in office, Yitzhak Rabin believed that making peace with Israel’s neighbors had a positive security value and that it was worth taking almost any chance for peace and paying any price. The essay then follows the campaign to mobilize public support for the Oslo “peace process,” which relied largely on characteristics of messianic thought, particularly the leadership’s turning its back on historical facts. Additionally, this paper examines the means chosen to manipulate people into believing in the process, such as the terminology the government used to describe the consequences of the Oslo agreements. The inquiry shows that when it became clear that the gamble for peace had failed, Rabin did not take action. His greatest miscalculation was that he believed in the principle of reversibility, but the Oslo process could not be reversed. The conclusion is that the basic misunderstanding of Oslo was the belief that it was possible to make peace with the Palestinians. On October 7, 2023, Hamas shattered this illusion, and the government declared that Israel was at war. This declaration represents the formal-legal recognition of an unacknowledged reality that had, in fact, been true for decades.

Authors: Ne'eman-Haviv Vered , Krispil-Shaer Tohar , Aviad Wilchek Yael
Published: March 2024

Empirical evidence links parents' attitudes, perceptions, and behavior with their children's functioning and involvement in risky behaviors. The purpose of the present study was to examine the perceptions of Israeli mothers towards risk behaviors and their willingness to accept risk behaviors in their children, while also looking at the connection of these behaviors to the mothers and the children’s level of religiosity. Quantitative questionnaires were given to 284 mothers of teenagers aged 13–18 – 141 secular mothers and 143 religious mothers. The findings revealed that the mothers' willingness to accept risk behaviors by their children was more rigid than their general perception of risk behaviors and was related to the assessment of their child's risk. The assessment of the child's risk level was found to be related to their level of religiosity in the mother’s eyes. In addition, religious mothers were found to demonstrate a more rigid stance towards risky behaviors than secular mothers. However, no differences were found between religious and secular mothers in the willingness to accept their children's risk behaviors. The research and applied importance of the findings is discussed.

Analysis of Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) of Argentina
Authors: Escamilla Carpizo Ashley Gerardo , Torres Rojas Yassir E.
Published: March 2024

This is an analysis of the current state of the coastal management in Argentina, the iczm Decalogue proposed by Barragán (2001 and 2004) has been used, encompassing ten strategic aspects for assessing coastal management. The study focuses on the changes that occurred in the period 2009-2020. The ten elements of the Decalogue include policy, regulations, competencies, institutions, instruments, education and training, resources, knowledge and information, education and sustainability, and participation. The political situation has evolved towards a more federal approach to coastal management in Argentina, with a notable redefinition of the boundaries of the Continental Shelf. However, a defined coastal management policy is lacking, suggesting the need for specific local-level public policies. Regulations have been improved, but there is still disparity in the definition of the coastal zone and regulation of uses and activities. Competencies are distributed between the national and provincial governments, leading to demands for increased jurisdiction by the provinces. Institutions have strengthened over the past decade, with the consolidation of sectoral Federal Councils and the creation of protected areas. Operational instruments exist at the national and provincial levels, but the lack of unified regulation for the entire coast poses challenges. Training and education in coastal management have advanced, with postgraduate programs and a focus on regional specialization. Financial resources are limited, and private investment primarily targets high-end real estate developments. Knowledge and information availability is high, but direct communication between academic institutions and the public and private sectors need improvement. Environmental education and sustainability promotion have strengthened, with an expanded educational offering. Citizen participation takes place through regulated calls by laws, although the results are not always binding. In addition, there are non-institutionalized forums and events are organized by NGOs and universities.

The tradition of riding ayun in ethnic Malays in West Kalimantan is one form of cultural preservation that has undergone a significant transformation in the face of the modern era. This study aims to describe changes in the meaning, implementation, and interpretation of the swing riding tradition in the context of the modern era. The research method used is a qualitative method with an analytical descriptive study approach. Data was collected through observation and interviews with local communities who still preserve the tradition of riding Ayun. The results showed that the tradition of swinging rose experienced changes in meaning, implementation, and interpretation. The influence of technology and globalization plays an important role in this change. Technology enables the use of social media and event planning apps to make it easier for families planning traditional events to ride the swing. In addition, technology also allows the use of modern equipment in the implementation of traditions, such as the use of audio-visual equipment to display information about the tradition of swinging or documentation of the birth of a baby. On the globalization side, the tradition of swinging can become better known in different parts of the world through social media platforms and websites. This can help in expanding the appreciation of this tradition on a global level. This research suggests that cultural transformation can occur in hereditary traditions such as swing rides. Therefore, cultural preservation needs to be done in the right way so that the tradition remains relevant and can be passed on to the next generation. In addition, the study also shows that technology and globalization can play an important role in cultural preservation. Therefore, there needs to be an effort to leverage technology and global connectivity to promote and preserve local culture.

The expression of gratitude of the Dayak Tobag community to Jebata is expressed in the form of gratitude called Munjong. Munjong has a meaning as an expression of gratitude for all gifts, fortune / harvest, protection and welfare as well as a form of restoration of relationships that have been damaged due to human behaviour in relation to the cosmos. The purpose of this research is to understand the religio magical meaning of the munjong traditional ceremony from the perspective of Dayak Tobag. This research uses empirical/sociological legal research methods using a phenomenological approach and hermeneutic theory so that it is known that the Dayak Tobag people see everything as a gift, a gift and everything that exists is centred and there is someone who makes it, namely SANG-ADA who makes everything exist and is the centre of everything that exists. All events and activities in relation to nature (cosmos) and humans in the Tobag Dayak community are seen in a transcendental dimension culminating in an expression of gratitude. The expression of gratitude in the Tobag Dayak perspective is manifested in a traditional Munjong ceremony.

Depleting tumoral lactate is a promising strategy to enhance the immune response and thereby suppressing tumorigenesis. However, the direct use of lactate oxidase (LOx), the most straightforward lactate-eliminating agent, faces several issues including low stability, no targeting capacity. To solve these problems, a “carrier-free” nanodrug LOx@manganese sulfide (LOx@MnS) was facilely prepared via biomineralization. This way, all the constituents integrated in the nanodrug, including LOx, Mn2+, and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), could be readily delivered into tumor cells and exert their effects. LOx combined with Mn2+ to convert lactate to cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) through the cascade reaction, meanwhile the crosstalk between H2S and ROS induced metabolism suppression to further augment the therapeutic efficacy. Consequently, the multi-mode therapeutic modalities led to effective immune activation and tumor suppression, suggesting the great potential for tumor treatment. We believe this strategy opens a new avenue to construct functional materials from frangible biomolecules and expand their applications.

Herein, we report a mild transition metal-free organophotoredox catalyzed approach for β-hydroxytrifluoromethylation of unactivated alkenes using CF3SO2Na and acridinium salt. The protocol is compatible with various mono, di- and tri-substituted aliphatic unactivated alkenes containing numerous functional groups and natural product derivatives. Further, the post-synthetic modifications of synthesized trifluoromethylated products have been demonstrated through cross-coupling and functional group interconversion reactions. The method proved to be scalable and also it works smoothly un-der direct exposure of sunlight. A plausible mechanism has been proposed based on fluorescence quenching experiment and cyclic voltammetry analysis.
