Authors: Arrowsmith Colin , Burns David , Mak Thomas , Hardisty Michael , Whyne Cari
Published: December 2022

Access to healthcare, including physiotherapy, is increasingly occurring through virtual formats. At-home adherence to physical therapy programs is often poor and few tools exist to objectively measure participation. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate the potential for performing automatic, unsupervised video-based monitoring of at-home low-back and shoulder physiotherapy exercises using a mobile phone camera. Joint locations were extracted from the videos of healthy subjects performing low-back and shoulder physiotherapy exercises using an open source pose detection framework. A convolutional neural network was trained to classify physiotherapy exercises based on the segments of keypoint time series data. The model’s performance as a function of input keypoint combinations was studied in addition to its robustness to variation in the camera angle. The CNN model achieved optimal performance using a total of 12 pose estimation landmarks from the upper and lower body (low-back exercise classification: 0.995 ± 0.009; shoulder exercise classification: 0.963 ± 0.020). Training the CNN on a variety of angles was found to be effective in making the model robust to variations in video filming angle. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using a smartphone camera and a supervised machine learning model to effectively classify at-home physiotherapy participation and could provide a low-cost, scalable method for tracking adherence to physical therapy exercise programs in a variety of settings.

Published: December 2022

We present an open-source wireless network and data management system for collecting and storing indoor environmental measurements and perceived comfort via participatory sensing in commercial buildings. The system, called a personal comfort and indoor environment measurement (PCIEM) platform, consists of several devices placed in office occupants’ work areas, a wireless network, and a remote database to store the data. Each device, called a PCFN (personal comfort feedback node), contains a touchscreen through which the occupant can provide feedback on their perceived comfort on-demand, and several sensors to collect environmental data. The platform is designed to be part of an indoor climate control system that can enable personalized comfort control in real-time. We describe the design, prototyping, and initial deployment of a small number of PCFNs in a commercial building. We also provide lessons learned from these steps. Application of the data collected from the PCFNs for modeling and real-time control will be reported in future work. We use hardware components that are commercial and off-the-shelf, and our software design is based on open-source tools that are freely and publicly available to enable repeatability.

Authors: Jin Shousong , Cao Mengyi , Qian Qiancheng , Zhang Guo , Wang Yaliang
Published: December 2022

This paper proposes a new method for predicting rotation error based on improved grey wolf–optimized support vector regression (IGWO-SVR), because the existing rotation error research methods cannot meet the production beat and product quality requirements of enterprises, because of the disadvantages of its being time-consuming and having poor calculation accuracy. First, the grey wolf algorithm is improved based on the optimal Latin hypercube sampling initialization, nonlinear convergence factor, and dynamic weights to improve its accuracy in optimizing the parameters of the support vector regression (SVR) model. Then, the IGWO-SVR prediction model between the manufacturing error of critical parts and the rotation error is established with the RV-40E reducer as a case. The results show that the improved grey wolf algorithm shows better parameter optimization performance, and the IGWO-SVR method shows better prediction performance than the existing back propagation (BP) neural network and BP neural network optimized by the sparrow search algorithm rotation error prediction methods, as well as the SVR models optimized by particle swarm algorithm and grey wolf algorithm. The mean squared error of IGWO-SVR model is 0.026, the running time is 7.843 s, and the maximum relative error is 13.5%, which can meet the requirements of production beat and product quality. Therefore, the IGWO-SVR method can be well applied to the rotate vector (RV) reducer parts-matching model to improve product quality and reduce rework rate and cost.
Blind Watermarking for Hiding Color Images in Color Images with Super-Resolution Enhancement
Authors: Hu Hwai-Tsu , Hsu Ling-Yuan , Wu Shyi-Tsong
Published: December 2022

This paper presents a novel approach for directly hiding the pixel values of a small color watermark in a carrier color image. Watermark embedding is achieved by modulating the gap of paired coefficient magnitudes in the discrete cosine transform domain according to the intended pixel value, and watermark extraction is the process of regaining and regulating the gap distance back to the intensity value. In a comparison study of robustness against commonly encountered attacks, the proposed scheme outperformed seven watermarking schemes in terms of zero-normalized cross-correlation (ZNCC). To render a better visual rendition of the recovered color watermark, a generative adversarial network (GAN) was introduced to perform image denoising and super-resolution reconstruction. Except for JPEG compression attacks, the proposed scheme generally resulted in ZNCCs higher than 0.65. The employed GAN contributed to a noticeable improvement in perceptual quality, which is also manifested as high-level ZNCCs of no less than 0.78.
Hyperspectral Imaging for Mobile Robot Navigation
Authors: Jakubczyk Kacper , Siemiątkowska Barbara , Więckowski Rafał , Rapcewicz Jerzy
Published: December 2022

The article presents the application of a hyperspectral camera in mobile robot navigation. Hyperspectral cameras are imaging systems that can capture a wide range of electromagnetic spectra. This feature allows them to detect a broader range of colors and features than traditional cameras and to perceive the environment more accurately. Several surface types, such as mud, can be challenging to detect using an RGB camera. In our system, the hyperspectral camera is used for ground recognition (e.g., grass, bumpy road, asphalt). Traditional global path planning methods take the shortest path length as the optimization objective. We propose an improved A* algorithm to generate the collision-free path. Semantic information makes it possible to plan a feasible and safe path in a complex off-road environment, taking traveling time as the optimization objective. We presented the results of the experiments for data collected in a natural environment. An important novelty of this paper is using a modified nearest neighbor method for hyperspectral data analysis and then using the data for path planning tasks in the same work. Using the nearest neighbor method allows us to adjust the robotic system much faster than using neural networks. As our system is continuously evolving, we intend to examine the performance of the vehicle on various road surfaces, which is why we sought to create a classification system that does not require a prolonged learning process. In our paper, we aimed to demonstrate that the incorporation of a hyperspectral camera can not only enhance route planning but also aid in the determination of parameters such as speed and acceleration.

Published: December 2022

We report a novel proposal for reducing the digital divide in rural multigrade schools, incorporating knowledge of robotics with a STEM approach to simultaneously promote curricular learning in mathematics and science in several school grades. We used an exploratory qualitative methodology to implement the proposal with 12 multigrade rural students. We explored the contribution of the approaches to the promotion of curricular learning in mathematics and science and the perceptions of using robotics to learn mathematics and science. As data collection techniques, we conducted focus groups and semi-structured interviews with the participants and analyzed their responses thematically. We concluded that the proposal could contribute to meeting the challenges of multigrade teaching. Our findings suggest that the proposal would simultaneously promote the development of curricular learning in mathematics and science in several school grades, offering an alternative for addressing various topics with different degrees of depth.

Authors: Meng Zhuolun , Tayyab Muhammad , Lin Zhongtian , Raji Hassan , Javanmard Mehdi
Published: December 2022

Hemoglobin is a biomarker of interest for the diagnosis and prognosis of various diseases such as anemia, sickle cell disease, and thalassemia. In this paper, we present a disposable device that has the potential of being used in a setting for accurately quantifying hemoglobin levels in whole blood based on colorimetric analysis using a smartphone camera. Our biosensor employs a disposable microfluidic chip which is made using medical-grade tapes and filter paper on a glass slide in conjunction with a custom-made PolyDimethylSiloaxane (PDMS) micropump for enhancing capillary flow. Once the blood flows through the device, the glass slide is imaged using a smartphone equipped with a custom 3D printed attachment. The attachment has a Light Emitting Diode (LED) that functions as an independent light source to reduce the noise caused by background illumination and external light sources. We then use the RGB values obtained from the image to quantify the hemoglobin levels. We demonstrated the capability of our device for quantifying hemoglobin in Bovine Hemoglobin Powder, Frozen Beef Blood, and human blood. We present a logarithmic model that specifies the relationship between the Red channel of the RGB values and Hemoglobin concentration.
Modeling the Impact of Climate Change on Sustainable Production of Two Legumes Important Economically and for Food Security: Mungbeans and Cowpeas in Ethiopia
Authors: Kagnew Birhanu , Assefa Awol , Degu Asfaw
Published: December 2022

Climate change is one of the most serious threats to global crops production at present and it will continue to be the largest threat in the future worldwide. Knowing how climate change affects crop productivity might help sustainability and crop improvement efforts. Under existing and projected climate change scenarios (2050s and 2070s in Ethiopia), the effect of global warming on the distribution of V. radiata and V. unguiculata was investigated. MaxEnt models were used to predict the current and future distribution pattern changes of these crops in Ethiopia using different climate change scenarios (i.e., lowest (RCP 2.6), moderate (RCP 4.5), and extreme (RCP 8.5)) for the years 2050s and 2070s. The study includes 81 and 68 occurrence points for V. radiata and V. unguiculata, respectively, along with 22 environmental variables. The suitability maps indicate that the Beneshangul Gumuz, Oromia, Amhara, SNNPR, and Tigray regions are the major Ethiopian regions with the potential to produce V. radiata, while Amhara, Gambella, Oromia, SNNPR, and Tigray are suitable for producing V. unguiculata. The model prediction for V. radiata habitat ranges distribution in Ethiopia indicated that 1.69%, 4.27%, 11.25% and 82.79% are estimated to be highly suitable, moderately suitable, less suitable, and unsuitable, respectively. On the other hand, the distribution of V. unguiculata is predicted to have 1.27%, 3.07%, 5.22%, and 90.44% habitat ranges that are highly suitable, moderately suitable, less suitable, and unsuitable, respectively, under the current climate change scenario by the year (2050s and 2070s) in Ethiopia. Among the environmental variables, precipitation of the wettest quarter (Bio16), solar radiation index (SRI), temperature seasonality (Bio4), and precipitation seasonality (Bio15) are discovered to be the most effective factors for defining habitat suitability for V. radiata, while precipitation of the wettest quarter (Bio16), temperature annual range (Bio7) and precipitation of the driest quarter (Bio17) found to be better habitat suitability indicator for V. unguiculata in Ethiopia. The result indicates that these variables were more relevant in predicting suitable habitat for these crops in Ethiopia. A future projection predicts that the suitable distribution region will become increasingly fragmented. In general, the study provides a scientific basis of suitable agro-ecological habitat for V. radiata and V. unguiculata for long-term crop management and production improvement in Ethiopia. Therefore, projections of current and future climate change impacts on such crops are vital to reduce the risk of crop failure and to identify the potential productive areas in the country.

Published: December 2022

Drugs have always been one of the most important concerns of families and government officials at all times, and they have caused irreparable damage to the health of young people. Given the importance of this great challenge, this article discusses a non-symmetric fractal-fractional order ice-smoking mathematical model for the existence results, numerical results, and stability analysis. For the existence of the solution of the given ice-smoking model, successive iterative sequences are defined. The uniqueness of the solution Hyers–Ulam (HU) stability is established with the help of the existing definitions and theorems in functional analysis. By the utilization of two-step Lagrange polynomials, we provide numerical solutions and provide a comparative numerical analysis for different values of the fractional order and fractal order. The numerical simulations show the applicability of the scheme and future prediction and the effects of fractal-fractional orders simultaneously.
Integrable and Superintegrable 3D Newtonian Potentials Using Quadratic First Integrals: A Review
Authors: Mitsopoulos Antonios , Tsamparlis Michael
Published: December 2022

The determination of the first integrals (FIs) of a dynamical system and the subsequent assessment of their integrability or superintegrability in a systematic way is still an open subject. One method which has been developed along these lines for holonomic autonomous dynamical systems with dynamical equations q¨a=−Γbca(q)q˙bq˙c−Qa(q), where Γbca(q) are the coefficients of the Riemannian connection defined by the kinetic metric of the system and −Qa(q) are the generalized forces, is the so-called direct method. According to this method, one assumes a general functional form for the FI I and requires the condition dIdt=0 along the dynamical equations. This results in a system of partial differential equations (PDEs) to which one adds the necessary integrability conditions of the involved scalar quantities. It is found that the final system of PDEs breaks into two sets: a. One set containing geometric elements only and b. A second set with geometric and dynamical quantities. Then, provided the geometric quantities are known or can be found, one uses the second set to compute the FIs and, accordingly, assess the integrability of the dynamical system. The ‘solution’ of the system of PDEs for quadratic FIs (QFIs) has been given in a recent paper (M. Tsamparlis and A. Mitsopoulos, J. Math. Phys. 61, 122701 (2020)). In the present work, we consider the application of this ‘solution’ to Newtonian autonomous conservative dynamical systems with three degrees of freedom, and compute integrable and superintegrable potentials V(x,y,z) whose integrability is determined via autonomous and/or time-dependent QFIs. The geometric elements of these systems are the ones of the Euclidean space E3, which are known. Setting various values for the parameters determining the geometric elements, we determine in a systematic way all known integrable and superintegrable potentials in E3 together with new ones obtained in this work. For easy reference, the results are collected in tables so that the present work may act as an updated review of the QFIs of Newtonian autonomous conservative dynamical systems with three degrees of freedom. It is emphasized that, by assuming different values for the parameters, other authors may find more integrable potentials of this type of system.

THE ROLE AND ESSENCE OF MONEY IN DIFFERENT WAYS OF ORGANIZING THE ECONOMY
Authors: Syrchyn Oleksandr
Published: December 2022

The subject of the study is the role and essence of money in organization of the modern economy. The aim of this article is to consider the role and essence of money from the standpoint of accumulated scientific knowledge within the framework of various directions of the money theory. The methodological basis of the study is a systematic approach that considers society as a whole, and the economy as part of social life. It is substantiated that the sphere of demand (consumption) has no restrictions, and the sphere of production is limited in its capabilities. For the organization of a limited sphere of production, as the coordination of the actions of specialized workers, a certain method of management is required. A scientific and practical approach to understanding the role and essence of money in modern conditions is proposed. As a result of the study, it is shown that there are three ways to organize the economy: subsistence economy, planned-monopoly economy and market economy. The modern economy is determined as a mixed one, where three ways of organizing it are mixed in different proportions (in an individual proportion for each country in the world). It has been proven that money fully fulfills its role (functions as an integral element of systemic structure of the economy) only within the framework of a market economy, since they have two characteristics of a commodity and are themselves specialized commodity. In this context, the definition of money is proposed as a special commodity that reflects the total social demand – effective demand. The consequence of proposed approach was selection of a number of money attributes, such as: informational and symbolic nature of money; trust in the information symbol as a basis for existence of money; the ability of money as information to arise and be destroyed, etc. The practical value of proposed approach lies in the possibility of forming a monetary policy adequate to the real economy.

Theoretical approaches to the definition of the of «strategy» concept by representatives of conceptual, practical, systemic, integrated approaches are analyzed. Based on the generalization of scientific concepts and definitions, the essence and main task of the strategy are investigated. The peculiarities of the strategy modern interpretation in the banking institutions activities are considered, taking into account macroeconomic instability and fast-paced changes in the external environment. The main types of strategies that are used in the strategic management of banking structures are determined: financial, marketing, information technology, personnel management strategy. The concept of «strategic management» is generalized, its place and role in the development of banking institutions are determined. The constituent elements of the bank’s strategic management system are considered and the peculiarities of the modern strategic management of the banking system are determined. It is substantiated that exactly the strategy is a key element of the bank’s strategic management system in the conditions of market economy transformation. The newest methodological concept of the strategic management of banking institutions is considered. It is determined that the majority of Ukrainian banks do not use modern forms and methods of management at the strategic level. It is proposed to introduce modern strategic management mechanisms into the banking institutions activities to improve their efficiency in the process of banking system digitalization.

Published: December 2022

The current scientific and methodological approaches to structuring the factors of the external environment of organizations, including higher education institutions, are examined in the given article. There have been created four specifications for each of the selected levels (micro-, macro-, meso- and mega-environment), utilizing the system-structural analysis and generalization of the approaches proposed in the scientific literature to the external environment elements system formation. All of them are designed for higher education institutions. Each of the specifications includes the maximum possible set of ordered elements, which at the microenvironment level are represented by entities combined into homogeneous groups, and at all other levels are represented by factors. Factors are distributed at each environment level between seven areas (regulatory, economic, demographic, scientific and technical, political, socio-cultural, and environmental). The need to separate normative-legal and demographic factors because they influence higher education institutions has been substantiated. The composition of scientific and technical factors is specified and their grouping is proposed.  The specifications are considered as reference, which, acting as a basic (benchmark) system for practical work to determine the basic elements from which each higher education institution can select the necessary elements according to their tasks and functional features. The elements of the external environment at any level can be detailed, integrated and regrouped. At all levels of the environment within each area, the factors are arranged according to a single principle, as a result of which all specifications in each area contain identical factors.

The article emphasizes that the improvement of management, finding and using of new methods of work optimization on the routes of urban passenger transport are the main tasks of organizing route transportation in the considered transport systems. The search for these methods is aimed at the rational use of resources, vehicles, to meet the needs of the population in travel and improve the quality of service in the implementation of passenger traffic. To ensure optimal management of work on the route of urban passenger transport, we will take as a goal the construction of a timetable for the movement of vehicles on the route, namely the creation of schedules for the release of transport and rational organization of work. The creation of these schedules takes into account the effective using use of the car fleet of enterprises, ensuring the safety of passenger transportation, and reducing the cost of services for the population. In this article, the study of passenger traffic on a certain section of the transport network and the operation of the route on it are considered using fuzzy logical methods, which gives the result of the consideration of service time minimization and maximum level of passenger satisfaction with the use of transport. In this case, the mechanism of working with inaccurate concepts in the process of finding a solution is implementing, we can imagine the input data as fuzzy sets on which logical actions are carried out. In this study, the numerical expression of the degree of satisfaction of passenger’s needs is chosen by the function of belonging to several time intervals, which is selected by the target function of finding the optimal schedule in these time intervals. The search for a solution takes into account the system of restrictions that apply to the time intervals of vehicles using. At the same time, the criterion of optimality reflects the cost of the schedule working, which includes the cost of operating time of vehicles and the cost of waiting time for passengers when traveling along the route.

Published: December 2022

The current study was carried out to determine the morphological characteristics of the Muradiye kelebek pigeon, which has been reared for many years by breeders in the Muradiye region. The ages of pigeons were classified into two groups: 12-24 months (age group I) and 25-36 months (age group II). The male pigeons had a significantly higher trunk length (P<0.001), head width (P<0.05), beak length (P<0.001), beak depth (P<0.05), thoracic perimeter (P<0.001), and tarsus diameter (P<0.001) compared to the female pigeons. The body weight (P<0.001), chest width (P<0.05), and thoracic perimeter (P<0.01) values of age group II were higher than those of age group I. It was determined that most of the pigeons were grayish blue-eyed (69.90%) and non-crested (76.72%). It was determined that the head structure of the Muradiye kelebek pigeon was similar to the Edremit kelebek, Muradiye donek, Bursa oynarı, Thrace roller, and Alabadem pigeon genotypes. The spotted plumage color of the Muradiye butterfly pigeon and the other three genotypes (jackal plumage in the Thrace roller, speckled plumage in the Edremit kelebek pigeon, and red/black galaca in the Muradiye donek pigeon) may be a common trait. Since these genotypes share some phenotypic characteristics, the phylogenetic relationships between the Muradiye butterfly pigeon and the other five pigeon genotypes (Edremit kelebek, Muradiye donek, Alabadem, Bursa oynarı, and Thrace roller) should be determined by molecular studies.
ORIGINALITY AND DISTINCTNESS OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF HRIHORIY SKOVORODA
Authors: SAUKH P.
Published: December 2022

The article analyzes the assessment of the philosophy of Hrihoriy Skovoroda, which does not fit into the traditional historical and philosophical image, based on the method of philosophizing of the Western European philosophy of the New Age. The reasons for different, often mutually exclusive, versions of the interpretation of the Ukrainian thinker's philosophy are determined. It is proved that the philosophy of H. Skovoroda is a unique example of syncretism of the original philosophical system and his own life position in. At the core of H. Skovoroda’s of world understanding is "eternal philosophy" as wisdom. The aspiration of G. Skovoroda was not the discovery of some new principles or the creation of an original and  in some ways significantly different from all other philosophical system, but familiarization with the higher truths of being for their practical implementation in everyday lifeIt is shown that the philosophy of H. Skovoroda opens before us a holistic vision and perception of everything that exists, which is lacking not only for modern people, but also for modern "professional philosophy". The power and significance of the original creative heritage of the thinker for Ukrainian philosophy is revealed in the context of the ideas of antheism, cordocentrism and deep existential motives.

Published: December 2022

Introduction. Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) can assume regional variations based on antecedent illness exposure, clinical manifestations, and prognosis. Nonetheless, evidence of GBS heterogeneity in Brazil is still lacking. Objective. To determine GBS characteristics including predisposing factors, diagnostic accuracy, risk of mechanical ventilation and compare the results with other regional and international epidemiological studies. Method. In this retrospective cross-sectional study, we conducted a documental search for patients treated for GBS. After the assessment of diagnostic reliability using Brighton Criteria, data were collected using medical record review by expert neurologists. We compared predicted risk for mechanical ventilation using the Erasmus GBS Respiratory Insufficiency Score (EGRIS) and patient observed outcome within the first week. Results. In all, 33 patients were included, with reasonable diagnostic accuracy in most patients (75%). 15.2% of patients required mechanical ventilation. There was a positive association (p=0.013) between non-high risk and the absence of need for mechanical ventilation. The most common immune trigger was gastroenteritis (30.3%), followed by upper airway infection (15.2%). Conclusions. This study provides the first evidence that EGRIS may be used to identify patients with low risk for mechanical ventilation in a Brazilian sample. Prospective cohort studies are needed to confirm this finding.  Clinical and epidemiological characteristics of patients are consistent with other Latin America observational studies, except on the predominance of gastroenteritis as a major immune trigger, as also observed in Brazilian Federal District, in Lima and Bangladesh.

Introdução. A atrofia muscular espinhal (AME) é uma doença neuromuscular genética autossômica recessiva rara, caracterizada por perda de função progressiva de neurônios motores alfa no corno anterior do tronco cerebral. Neste estudo destaca-se a AME tipo 2 em que os primeiros sintomas aparecem entre os 6 e 18 meses de idade, a criança apresenta atraso nas habilidades motoras. Uma das terapias farmacológicas utilizadas é o SPINRAZA®. Objetivo. Verificar na literatura a eficácia do tratamento com o medicamento SPINRAZA® (nusinersena) juntamente com a atuação da fisioterapia nas repercussões respiratórias e motoras do paciente com AME tipo 2. Método. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura utilizando a bula do medicamento SPINRAZA®, site INAME (Instituto Nacional de Atrofia Muscular Espinhal)  e as bases de dados PubMed (Nacional Library of Medicine), LILACS (Literatura Latino-Americana em Ciências de Saúde) e Cochrane Library, utilizando as palavras-chave "Muscular Atrophy, Spinal type 2", spinraza e physiotherapy com o descritor booleano AND, incluindo artigos publicados nos últimos cinco anos, considerando estudos de caso, ensaios clínicos randomizados e estudos observacionais que abordaram o uso do SPINRAZA® e atuação da fisioterapia na AME. Resultados. Foram encontrados artigos que trazem escalas de avaliação funcional nas atividades de vida diária dos pacientes com AME tipo 2, apresentando aumento nos scores após o uso do medicamento, entretanto alguns artigos relataram a dificuldade de adesão e continuação ao tratamento com o fármaco. Conclusão. A utilização deste medicamento é um método eficaz para o tratamento da AME tipo 2 principalmente quando combinado a fisioterapia.
Ovarian mRNA Expression and Regulation of Matrix Metalloproteinase 16 in the Domestic Hen
Authors: Wolak Dominika , Hrabia Anna
Published: December 2022

In mammals, membrane-bound matrix metalloproteinases (MT-MMPs) are thought to play an important role in ovarian remodeling. However, the role and regulation of these proteases in the ovary of birds remain largely unknown. One of MT-MMPs, i. e., MMP-16, has been found in the hen ovary;
therefore, this study was undertaken to examine whether the transcript level of MMP-16 changes during follicle development and whether gonadotropins and estrogen are involved in the regulation of this enzyme expression. The relative expression of MMP-16 mRNA in the ovarian follicles (white,
yellowish, small yellow, and the granulosa and theca layers of three of the largest yellow preovulatory [F3-F1]) was examined 22 h and 3 h before F1 follicle ovulation as well as following equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) or tamoxifen (estrogen receptor modulator, TMX) treatments by quantitative
real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). MMP-16 transcripts were detected in all examined ovarian tissues of control and treated hens. The relative expression of MMP-16 depended on follicular size/maturation and the layer of the follicular wall. A relatively higher expression of MMP-16
mRNA in the granulosa layer at 3 h compared to 22 h before ovulation of F1 was found. The injections of eCG decreased transcript abundance of MMP-16 in white and small yellow follicles, as well as in the theca layer of F3-F2 and the granulosa layer of the F1 follicle. In turn, TMX caused an
increase in mRNA expression of MMP-16 in the theca layer of the largest preovulatory follicles and a decrease in the granulosa layer of the F1 follicle. Our results provide the first mRNA expression analysis of MMP-16 in the hen ovary under different physiological states. In addition, results
indicate a possible role of gonadotropins and estrogen in regulating the transcription of MMP-16 in the chicken ovary.
Sabahia polypodii gen. et sp. nov. (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Evacantihinae) and its Phylogenetic Position within the Nirvanini Tribe
Authors: Walczak Marcin , Gębicki Cezary , Zmarzły Marzena , Sawka-Gądek Natalia
Published: December 2022

In this paper, a new genus Sabahia Walczak & Gębicki with a new species Sabahia polypodii Walczak & Gębicki within the tribe Nirvanini is described. It originates from Sabah Province on Borneo (Malaysia, Sabah) and is most closely related to Decursusnirvana
Gao & Zhang and Sinonirvana Gao & Zhang. It differs from these genera primarily with regard to the morphology of the male genitalia. Although it shows some resemblance to representatives of the genus Chudania Distant in the structure of the aedeagus, it can be clearly
separated from this genus by the absence of a median carina from the facial part of the head. Details of the external morphology, as well as those of the male and female genitalia are documented (including scanning microscopy images). In addition, the phylogenetic relationships of several
species within the subfamily Evacanthinae and related groups are discussed, based on comparative analyses of the genetic sequences for histone (H3) and the mitochondrial gene of cytochrome oxidase c (COI).
El séptimo círculo o las reglas del juego.
Authors: Adur Nobile Lucas Martín
Published: December 2022

La colección “El séptimo círculo”, creada y dirigida por Jorge Luis Borges y Adolfo Bioy Casares en 1945, tuvo un rol fundamental para la difusión de la narrativa policial en la Argentina y en Hispanoamérica. El presente trabajo busca reconstruir el modelo del género que la colección promovió en su primera etapa (1945-1956), a partir de una consideración de la totalidad de las obras publicadas en ese período, en diálogo con otros materiales relevantes sobre el género producidos en esos años por Borges y Bioy. Proponemos que la colección contribuyó a definir una idea del género basada en rasgos como su carácter antirrealista, su estilo clásico, el rigor de su arquitectura argumental y la clausura de sentido que implica el desenlace de cada obra.
Palabra femenina y discurso religioso medieval en Otas de Roma
Authors: Zubillaga Carina
Published: December 2022

En el presente trabajo, se analiza el discurso de Florencia de Roma, la heroína de Otas de Roma, en relación con el de las protagonistas santas de las hagiografías previas del Ms. h-I-13 de la Biblioteca de San Lorenzo de El Escorial. Las oraciones y súplicas que jalonan el desarrollo de la historia y testimonian su avance dan cuenta de una identidad femenina que se conforma mediante la subordinación de lo terrenal a lo divino y de lo individual a lo colectivo, en consonancia con las historias de reinas acusadas a las que pertenece y con la figura política de la infanta y la problemática de la sucesión imperial.
Fronteras, género y procesos de integración: la actuación como estrategia de resistencia en el teatro de Lola Arias
Authors: Cobello Denise
Published: December 2022

Este trabajo se propone indagar las formas de representación escénica que adquiere en la actualidad la noción de frontera ligada a la crisis de les refugiades en Europa, desde una perspectiva de género apoyada, principalmente, en la teoría de la interseccionalidad. Tomaremos como caso de estudio la obra Futureland de Lola Arias, creada en 2019 para el teatro Maxim Gorki de Berlín, con el propósito de analizar su poética actoral y reflexionar acerca de las posibilidades y limitaciones que encuentra el testimonio en escena y la corporalidad de les intérpretes no profesionales. Sostenemos que el trabajo con la repetición permite la recreación de la memoria pero a su vez suscita, en este caso, el riesgo al automatismo y al control de la emoción.

Análisis de la producción deseante en cuatro procesos creativos teatrales (Córdoba 2007-2012)
Authors: Cismondi Carolina
Published: December 2022

A partir de un trabajo etnográfico de seguimiento de ensayos, proponemos desarrollar la perspectiva de producción deseante para el análisis de procesos creativos pertenecientes a la escena contemporánea en Córdoba, Argentina. Este enfoque dialoga con la filosofía deleuzeana y nos permite reflexionar sobre el ensayo como un agenciamiento particular de materiales diversos que posibilita la producción de máquinas escénicas. De este modo buscamos reconocer los vínculos entre las dinámicas de trabajo, las relaciones entre los sujetos, las problemáticas recurrentes, las circunstancias en que aparecen las ideas centrales y las conexiones que movilizan la escena. La lógica desjerarquizada del deseo resulta fundante del trabajo colectivo del teatro contemporáneo en Córdoba, el cual desarrolla procesos de autoría múltiple en la construcción de sus obras.
