El derecho de los pacientes a la toma de decisiones compartida en salud
Authors: VALDOVINOS GUTIÉRREZ Jonathan Roberto
Published: April 2024

Los usuarios de los servicios de salud tienen derecho a recibir una atención médica de calidad que busque generar un estado de bienestar. Desgraciadamente, se ha observado que la práctica médica cada día se torna más deshumanizada en la que se vulnera el derecho de autonomía de los pacientes con prácticas paternalistas, justificada como acciones que tienen como objetivo el bienestar del paciente. Desde el 2018, se propone la integración de un modelo dialógico de Toma de Decisiones Compartida (SMD por sus siglas en inglés) que generé que el personal de salud y los pacientes trabajen en conjunto con la selección de pruebas diagnósticas y tratamientos específicos, tomando como base las opciones que se encuentran publicadas con base en datos de alta evidencia científica, explicando riesgos y beneficios de cada una, sumando las preferencias de los pacientes. Este método se ha aplicado con éxito en otros países y se considera que debería ser el método de elección en los procesos de atención, ya que incrementa la tasa de éxito y el apego terapéutico de los pacientes.
El derecho a la evaluación nutricional del paciente con enfermedad renal crónica
Authors: ROJAS-CAMPOS Enrique , BARAJAS-GONZÁLEZ Itzel , LUNA-NAVARRO Lía Daniela
Published: April 2024

Antecedentes: La enfermedad renal crónica (ERC), tiene muchos retos: el diagnóstico temprano, atención especializada, aspectos económicos, sin embargo el aspecto nutricional es de la misma relevancia. No se conoce el número de especialistas en nutrición renal en muchos países (entre ellos México). El derecho a la salud, a la nutrición y a la nutrición clínica son reconocidos internacionalmente; sin embargo, no se tiene la certeza que en la ERC se goce de ellos. La adecuada evaluación nutricional contempla evaluaciones antropométrica, bioquímica, clínica, dietética y de estilo de vida; pero evaluar el sentido del gusto no se hace de manera regular. Objetivo y Resultados: análisis bibliográfico sobre el derecho a la evaluación nutricional adecuada, optima y completa en la ERC. La alta prevalencia tanto de ERC como de desnutrición de pacientes en diálisis predice los resultados clínicos y de sobrevida de los pacientes; aunque el número de nutriólogos en algunos países es mayor que en otros, el número de especialistas en nutrición renal no parece haberse alcanzado. No se puede confirmar que los pacientes con ERC gozan del derecho a la nutrición clínica, incluso no hay evaluaciones tan importantes como la del sentido del gusto de manera habitual. Conclusiones: aunque existe el derecho a la salud, a la nutrición y a la nutrición clínica, se debe asegurar que se lleve a cabo por un especialista en nutrición renal y que abarque la evaluación del sentido de gusto, hecha por profesionales de la nutrición entrenados que puedan interpretar los resultados de la misma.

Authors: Porta Exequiel , Kalesh Karunakaran , Isern Jaime , Steel Patrick
Published: April 2024

In the pursuit of innovative therapeutics, understanding enzyme inhibitors' mechanisms is pivotal. In this chapter, we explore a novel methodology that combines the precision of Activity-Based Protein Profiling (ABPP) with the efficiency of microplate assays to unveil enzyme inhibition profiles. Central to this approach is the use of competitive ABPP, which utilizes an in-house fluorophosphonate-based probe, as an example of an electrophilic probe, to directly observe the interactions between inhibitors and pig liver esterase, chosen as a model serine hydrolase. This method leverages the scalability of 96-well microplates to facilitate rapid and sensitive screening across various molecules, marking a significant advancement in the field of drug discovery. By applying this technique, we not only expedite the identification of potential drug candidates but also gain deeper insights into their modes of action, thereby enhancing our understanding of their therapeutic potential. This chapter provides a comprehensive protocol for the synthesis of ABPP probes, preparation of enzyme solutions, and execution of plate-based assays, offering a robust platform for the development of novel enzyme inhibitors. Through this innovative approach, we aim to pave the way for a new tool for the next-generation drug discovery, highlighting the transformative potential of chemical proteomics in unveiling the intricate dynamics of enzyme modulation.

Authors: Shea Dreenan , Karaballi Reem , Jee Samantha , Dasog Mita
Published: April 2024

Plasmonic transition metal nitrides (TMNs) have emerged as a low-cost and thermally and chemically robust alternatives to noble metals. While their superior thermal properties have been established, their chemical properties on the nanoscale haven’t been as well studied. Herein, the oxidative stability over time under ambient conditions and colloidal stability as function of pH was explored for plasmonic TiN, ZrN and HfN nanoparticles. It was discovered that the TMN nanoparticles made via solid-state method had a narrow pH stability range between 2 – 3. Under highly acidic conditions, the particles underwent dissolution and at pH ≥ 4, they aggregate and precipitate from the solution. Additionally, TiN nanoparticles had poor oxidative stability and oxidized to TiO2 after ~40 days. 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and dimethylsilane coated TMNs were synthesized to yield water and organic solvent dispersible particles, respectively. These functionalized colloidal suspensions showed enhanced oxidative stability over 60 days and the APTES coating widened the pH stability window of TMNs to include physiological pH. This study shows that surface functionalization using M–O–Si linkages (where M = Ti, Zr, or Hf) can greatly enhance the stability, dispersibility and therefore applicability of plasmonic TMN nanoparticles.

Published: April 2024

In this paper, we report the quantitative synthesis of the first Pt-silene -complex and its unusual interaction with benzene molecule in the solid state, revealed by X-ray crystallography. Thus, three platinum complexes dock on one benzene molecule via weak van der Waals-type interactions with the benzene hydrogens. The cyclopropane nature of the complex was confirmed by 29Si NMR spectroscopy and molecular structure. Also, an unusual situation in 31P NMR was observed, in which two phosphorus atoms with different chemical environments have similar chemical shifts but different values of J-coupling with platinum.
ABC of Kd Accuracy
Authors: Wang Tong Ye , Rukundo Jean-Luc , Mao Zhiyuan , Krylov Sergey N.
Published: April 2024

The equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) is a major characteristic of affinity complexes and one of the most frequently determined physicochemical parameters. Despite its significance, the values of Kd obtained for the same complex under similar conditions often exhibit considerable discrepancies and sometimes vary by orders of magnitude. These inconsistencies highlight the susceptibility of Kd determination to large systematic errors, ultimately leading to misconceptions and significant misallocation of research and development resources. It is imperative to both minimize and quantitatively assess the systematic errors inherent in Kd determination. Traditionally, Kd values are determined through nonlinear regression of binding isotherms. This analysis utilizes three variables: concentrations of two reactants and a fraction R of unbound limiting reactant. The systematic errors in Kd arise directly from systematic errors in these variables. In this study, we thoroughly analyze the sources of systematic errors within these variables, aiming to mitigate their impact on Kd accuracy. Through this analysis, we illustrate how each source contributes to inaccuracies in Kd determination. Additionally, we propose a method for quantitatively assessing the confidence interval of systematic errors in concentrations, a crucial step towards quantitatively evaluating Kd accuracy. While presenting original findings, this paper also reiterates the fundamentals of Kd determination, hence, guiding researchers across all proficiency levels. By shedding light on the sources of systematic errors and offering strategies for their mitigation, our work will help researchers to enhance the accuracy of Kd determination thereby making binding studies more reliable.

Authors: Rajaguru Rajagopal
Published: April 2024

The current study focuses on the formulation, development, and in vitro testing of pologlitazone microspheres containing guar gum and chitosan as naturally occurring polysaccharides that delay release. Nine formulations were created by altering the chitosan and guar gum ratios, using span-85 as an emulsifier as well as glutaraldehyde as a chemical cross linking agent. The microspheres were assessed in terms of particle size, encapsulation effectiveness, drug loading capacity, and in vitro drug release tests. The average particle size ranged from 30.2 mm (PP 1) to 36.5 mm (PP 2). There was a range of 0.45 to 0.78 in the swelling index. Microspheres smooth surfaces were found by SEM investigation. In order to verify that there are no chemical interactions between the medication and the polymer and to understand the structure of microspheres, differential scanning calorimetry as well as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were employed. At 10 hours, the optimised batch PP 1 released 97.45% using phosphate buffer pH7.4 as a dissolving media. In terms of release kinetics, the optimised formula's data were best fitted with the Higuchi model (r2= 0.671) and demonstrated zero order release (r2= 0.980) via a non-Fickian diffusion mechanism.

Authors: Qiu Zhiqiang , Shi Yun , Jiang Lei
Published: April 2024

In this paper, the geological condition of the right-side slope of the K114 + 694–K115 + 162 section of Yong-tai-wen Expressway is investigated and analyzed with the results showing that the strength of rock mass is the main contributor to the stability of the slope. Then, two widening schemes are proposed, which are the steep slope with strong support and the gentle slope with general support schemes. The static/slope module of MIDAS GTS finite element analysis software and the strength reduction method were used to compare the two schemes. The results show that the steep slope with a strong support scheme has obvious advantages in land requisition, environmental protection, and safety and is more suitable for reconstructing and expanding the highway slope.

A Study on the Integration of Chinese Culture in High School English Teaching
Authors: Zhong Hui , Song Dandan
Published: April 2024

The inseparable relationship between language and culture indicates that culture teaching is indispensable in English teaching. The ultimate goal of culture teaching in English teaching is to cultivate learners’ cross-cultural communication skills. Cross-cultural communication is a two-way process, which requires not only knowledge of English culture but also the use of English as a medium for disseminating Chinese culture to the outside world. However, in actual English teaching, the teaching of Chinese culture is a mere formality, and the teaching effect is not obvious. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a survey and research on Chinese culture teaching in high school English classrooms to understand its current situation, existing problems, and their causes, so as to provide suggestions for Chinese culture teaching in high school.

Authors: Gataullina A. G.
Published: April 2024

The article describes and analyzes words with the ancient root жи(ть), which have undergone terminologicalisation. Nowadays, the focus of the research is the issue of the terminological vocabulary influence on the development of language as a whole. In order to reveal the semantic potential of the words with the root жи(ть), we studied these words in biological and medical terminology. The subject of our study is focused on the semantics of these words, since biology studies different aspects of life of living beings, medicine is concerned with healing people, and the words we are interested in denote signs, actions and processes related to all animate things. The research material is based on dictionaries of biological (botanical, zoological) and medical terms, explanatory dictionaries of the Russian language, which reveal the semantic scope of the words of interest and provide interpretations of their meanings. The research was carried out using the descriptive method and the method of dictionary definitions. We considered the word-forming and semantic features of the words with the root жи(ть) serving as names of different scientific objects (plants and animals), phenomena, features, properties, methods, actions and processes using the material of biological and medical terminology. The article describes the interaction and interpenetration of common and terminological words and identifies two-component terminological word-combinations, in which words with the given root are used, to define objects at the level of species nomination. As a result of the study, we found more than one hundred medical and biological terms with the root жи(ть); determined terminological word-formation chains; highlighted the terminological homonymy and sub-spheres in biological and medical terminology (botanical, zoological, entomological and pharmaceutical), in forensic medicine, space medicine, etc. We have come to the conclusion that the words with the root жи(ть) are used to nominate plants, living organisms, processes in living organisms, biological formations, abilities of living organisms and diseases.

Sludges against Ponzi schemes
Authors: Ryzhkova Marina , Kashapova Elmira
Published: April 2024

Pyramid schemes are adapting to the digitalisation era and mimicking various organisations. The organisers of these schemes quite often appeal to such human qualities as greed and the desire to get rich quickly. Thus, it is becoming increasingly relevant to develop new methods for countering pyramid schemes taking into account modern realities and behavioural characteristics of an individual decisionmaker. The focus of the research is on selecting sludge tools to fight against digital pyramid schemes. Methodologically, the study relies on the concepts of behavioural economics, in particular, of the nudge theory (nudges vs sludges). The methods include brainstorming, focus groups. The evidence comes from primary qualitative research, in-depth interviews with both non-professional investors and experts in the field of financial market held in 2022. The analysis allowed defining the concept of sludge and present the types of sludge tools. The paper provides an original list of sludge tools as well as a set of practical tools to counter pyramid schemes, which, in particular, consists of legal restrictions, monitoring of Ponzi schemes’ activities, financial enlightenment, a legal information system, self-coordination of investors, and an individual approach. The paper concludes that sludge tools differ in terms of the length of impact and the speed of obtaining a result. Short-term sludges generate a fast effect and prevent from investing in pyramid schemes without preliminary preparation of participants; they, for instance, include placing a poster with a warning against Ponzi schemes, ensuring a careful reading of the contract, mandatory familiarisation with the List of entities with detected signs of illegal activities in the financial market created by the Bank of Russia, taking a risk test for assessing the probability of a decreased price or lost asset, ensuring advice of a financial counsellor as an obligatory stage of investment. The findings contribute to the understanding of the need for proactive (preventive) measures’ development aimed at countering fraudulent schemes.

Among the relevant problems of entrepreneurship development in Russia, the issues of sufficiency of competencies and skills of an entrepreneur to work in the new information and communication environment come to the forefront. The article reveals the concept of “digital skills of an entrepreneur” and considers ways to measure them. It emphasizes the importance of digital skills training for entrepre-neurs, which will contribute to their further success and increase their competitiveness. Based on the terminological analysis, the definition of digital skills of an entrepreneur is clarified and their classifi-cation is proposed. Methodological approaches to the measurement of digital skills are identified, and the use of the Rasch model is proposed for a more valid assessment of digital skills.
MODEL SOLUSI STRATEGIS TATA KELOLA PEKERJA MIGRAN
Authors: Jalaluddin
Published: April 2024

Mobilitas dan migrasi pekerja yang terjadi di negara-negara berkembang merupakan suatu strategi untuk memper-tahankan kelangsungan hidup rumah tangga. Fenomena baru yang kemudian muncul di perdesaan, menjadi harapan baru bagi masyarakat lapisan bawah dan menengah di perdesaan dalam menjawab tantangan hidup yang dihadapi dengan bekerja sebagai buruh migrant dan mengirim sebagian besar gajinya dalam bentuk remitansi ke desa asal. Studi ini mencoba untuk memotret persoalan- persoalan sekitar pekerja migran dan sekaligus memformulasikan model solusi strategis bagi penangan masalah tersebut terutama yang terkait dengan fungsi dasar keluarga sebagai dampak migrasi para buruh migrant. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan Rapid Assessment Procedure (RAP) yaitu teknik pengumpulan data kualitatif untuk tujuan-tujuan praktis bagi pengambilan keputusan intervensi atau perbaikan program melalui pencarian informasi secara cepat. Temuan awal studi menunjukkan bahwa fenomena migrasi Internasional berimplikasi pada perubahan struktur keluarga akibat dari tidak adanya ‘suami atau istri’ selaku penanggungjawab urusan keluarga maupun ‘ayah atau ibu’ untuk anak-anak. Ketidakhadiran ‘isteri’ sebagai pendamping suami dan ‘ibu’ bagi anak-anak untuk jangka waktu cukup lama akan berdampak pada terganggunya pembagian peran dalam pelaksanaan fungsi-fungsi keluarga. Kondisi seperti ini akan menghambat terwujudnya keluarga berkualitas dan mengancam ketahanan keluarga dalam jangka panjang.

This paper presents two studies concerning developing and validating an Arabic version of a scale that measures motivation toward learning physical science in Moroccan middle school students. The scale is based on the self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985). It comprises five dimensions: intrinsic motivation, three forms of extrinsic motivation (identified regulation, introjected regulation, and external regulation), and amotivation. The exploratory factor analysis (study 1) was conducted on a sample of 144 students, and the confirmatory factor analysis (study 2) was performed on another sample of 404 students. The results of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses support a five-factor structure. The results also reveal that the scale and five factors have satisfactory internal consistency indices. Moreover, the construct validity is supported by correlations between the five factors that comprise the scale. All the results thus support the psychometric qualities of the physical science learning motivation scale.

A menina volta da comunhão com os olhos baixos e as mãos postas. Ajoelha-se para a ação de graças. Ao abrir o livro de rezas, seus olhos caem sobre uma imagem de Jesus crucificado: apenas um lado do santinho aparecia fora do livro, deixando à vista uma das mãos de Cristo, donde se desprendiam várias gotas de sangue. Um fato trivial que só poderia ter repercussões numa alma de inclinação mística: “Fiquei emocionada, vendo o sangue que corria de uma de suas mãos Divinas; senti grande dor pensando que êste sangue caía por terra sem que ninguém se apressasse em recolhê-lo; resolvi conservar-me em espírito ao pé da Cruz para recolher o Divino orvalho que dela corre, compreendendo que deveria, em seguida, espalhá-lo sobre as almas...
The Formation Mechanism and Suppression Strategies of Spatter in Pulsed Gas Metal Arc Welding for Titanium Alloy

The GMAW process for titanium alloy is not commonly applied within the industry due to the occurrence of severe spatter. This research endeavors to elucidate the mechanism underlying spatter formation and explore efficacious strategies to suppress spatter. The experimental results demonstrated the existence of two distinct spatter types: large and small spatter particles. The high- speed images and synchronous electrical signals were utilized for determining the spatter formation mechanism, with force analysis serving to mutually validate the inferences. The large spatter particles originated from the whole transitional molten droplet as it descended within the arc space, while the small spatter particles were formed by the partial transitional molten droplet as it contacted the weld pool. The cathode jet force accounted for the formation of large spatter particles, whereas the electromagnetic force was responsible for the small spatter particles. To suppress spatter, increasing detachment current and decreasing pulsing frequency were employed. Consequently, the spatter rate witnessed a remarkable decrease from 14.00% to 3.33% with a progressive increment in detachment current from 100 A to 300 A, and a corresponding decline from 12.67% to 1.33% upon decrementing the pulsing frequency from 90 Hz to 50 Hz. This research suggests that a judicious increase in the detachment current can effectively decrease the spatter rate while concurrently preserving welding efficiency.
