LA PROTECCIÓN DE LAS MINORÍAS POLÍTICAS EN LA UNIÓN EUROPEA Y EN LOS ESTADOS MIEMBROS
Authors: Fondevila Marón Manuel
Published: June 2024

La dilatada trayectoria del Dr. Javier Ruipérez Alamillo, catedrático del área de Derecho Constitucional de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de A Coruña, no solo es por todos conocida, sino que nadie, al menos en su sano y cabal juicio, podría siquiera cuestionarla. Pero sin duda, lo más relevante de este destacado investigador es su compromiso con el estudio de las Ciencias Constitucionales desde una perspectiva no sólo multidisciplinar, sino también comparada. Ello ha desembocado en la iniciativa de que sus verdaderos discípulos y una gran cantidad de investigadores y académicos, de diversos países iberoamericanos, que no solo le profesan un gran afecto sino también una sincera admiración, hayan decidido rendirle tan merecido homenaje a través de una obra en la que se recopilan las diferentes líneas temáticas que él ha abordado a lo largo de toda su extensa vida académica e investigadora y que ponen de manifiesto el sedimento científico que sus enseñanzas han dejado no solo en sus discípulos, sino también en importantes académicos e, incluso, hasta en maestros. De este modo, esta obra, coordinada por los profesores el Dr. Víctor Alejandro Wong Meraz, el Dr. Manuel Cabanas Veiga y el Dr. Christian Yair Aldrete Acuña, cuenta con la participación de profesores de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (México), Universitat de Lleida (España), Università di Bologna (Italia), Pontificia Universidad Católica de Perú (Perú), Universidad del País Vasco (España), Universidad Católica de Colombia (Colombia), Universidade da Coruña (España), Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México (México), Universidad Complutense de Madrid (España), Universidad de León (España), Universidad Nacional de Tucumán (Argentina), Universidad de Valencia (España), Universidad de Colima (México), Universitat Jaume I (España), Universidad de Sevilla (España), Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (España) y la Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua (México). Está estructurada en siete partes, en las que se llevan a cabo tanto estudios teóricos sobre la naturaleza jurídica del Estado y del Derecho, como el análisis del origen y fundamentos de la Constitución y del constitucionalismo, hasta abordar los principios que lo sustentan, por lo que también se aborda la Democracia Constitucional, los derechos fundamentales y la problemática de la descentralización política. Y todo ello inspirado en las tan bien transmitidas lecciones del homenajeado maestro Javier Ruipérez Alamillo.
EL PRECIO DE UNA REFORMA PENAL FRUTO DE LA PRESIÓN SOCIAL
Authors: García Álvarez Pastora
Published: June 2024

La aprobación de la Ley Orgánica 10/2022, de 6 de septiembre, de Garantía Integral de la Libertad Sexual, conocida coloquialmente como la Ley del «solo sí es sí», responde, tal y como en su preámbulo se indica, a una serie de movilizaciones y acciones públicas promovidas por el movimiento feminista que, en consideración del legislador penal español, han dado mayor visibilidad a las violencias sexuales contra las mujeres. Esta ley ha supuesto una reforma en profundidad de los delitos sexuales, en la que resulta especialmente destacable la eliminación de la distinción entre abusos y agresiones sexuales. En esta obra, especialistas en la materia abordan los aspectos más trascendentales de las modificaciones realizadas y el cambio de perspectiva que las mismas representan. Así, entre otras cuestiones, se analiza la nueva configuración del consentimiento, la creación de los tipos cualificados de utilización de psicóticos y narcóticos y por la existencia de una relación de pareja entre los sujetos implicados. También son objeto de estudio las reformas implementadas para mejorar la protección de las víctimas de los delitos sexuales y las implicaciones que todas estas cuestiones tienen en materia procesal. Finalmente, se ofrece una visión general de los puntos clave de la reforma propiciando que el lector esté en condiciones de tener una opinión propia basada en conocimientos académicos debidamente fundamentados.

Dengue is the most widespread and rapidlygrowing vector-borne disease.1 An estimated2.5 billion people in 129 countries live inendemic tropical and subtropical regions areat risk of contracting dengue, with 105million people infected each year.2 Dengue isa viral infection transmitted by arthropods,whose vector is the female mosquito of thegenus Aedes, mainly Aedes aegypt.3 Theinfection is caused by an RNA virus of theFlaviviridae family, which has differentserotypes: DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3 and DEN4. This illness can range from subclinicalillness to flu-like symptoms and, although lesscommon, some patients develop the severeform of the disease, with severe bleeding,organ involvement and/or plasma leakagewith reduced blood volume. One of thecomplications of dengue, associated with highmorbidity and mortality rates, is acute kidneyinjury (AKI)

How Do They Do It? Vocabulary Learning Strategies Used by Hungarian EFL Learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Tar Lilla
Published: June 2024

Recently, there has been a growing interest in the ways people with autism spectrum disorder learn. Previous studies, however, have not dealt with language learning strategies. This paper, based on my MEd thesis, aims to portray the approaches of a group of adults with autism spectrum disorder towards vocabulary learning, as well as the vocabulary learning strategies they implement. Data were collected at the beginning of 2023 after a very detailed review of available literature on the topic. Participants (N=10) took part in sixty-minute-long deep interviews online. According to the results the most participants are not visual learners contrary to some of the literature reviewed. They have varied individual strengths, needs and preferences in their English as a foreign language studies. On the one hand, some respondents have and use very strong mental associations. On the other hand, they might struggle with the social aspects of language learning. Among learning strategies, mostly guessing and context-based ones were mentioned. Half of the participants felt that they would like to improve the way they learn vocabulary items.
The Representation of the Scottish Accent in Hollywood Movies and TV Series
Authors: Gimpl Ádám
Published: June 2024

Both Scottish culture and the Scottish accent have been oft misrepresented in Hollywood movies and TV series starting in the 20th century and continuing into the 21st. The purpose of this paper is to analyse said misrepresentations, determine why characters are given Scottish accents, how that accent contributes to their characterisation and what kind of character types tend to receive the Scottish accent. The paper concludes that the Scottish accent is selected for certain characters because the previous success of Scotland-based Hollywood movies has made the accent popular among audiences, thus Hollywood, utilising what has worked before and seeing the popularity of the accent, decided to bestow the accent to more characters. It is also given to characters to make them humorous; the accent sounding foreign makes it funny for American audiences, thus many comic relief characters have got it. Tough-as-nails and masculine characters can likewise receive Scottish accents. Moreover, certain archetypes are assigned with the accent in mind by default, such as the Highlander warrior and dwarves, its usage in their case being questionable notwithstanding. Lastly, having a Scottish accent is integral to characterisation, which is exemplified by analysing Shrek, McDuck and three other hyper-stereotypical cartoon characters.
From the United States (via the Soviet Union) to Hungary
Authors: Sohár Anikó
Published: June 2024

Isaac Asimov was the favourite American science-fiction author in the Kádár era due to extraliterary reasons, many of his works were therefore translated when science fiction, a previously prohibited popular genre was introduced to the Hungarian public. This paper analyses the first two Hungarian translations, that of a short story entitled ‘Victory Unintentional’ and that of a collection of short stories entitled I Robot. Both indirect and direct translations exhibit multiple traces of censorship and revision, significantly changing the structure, atmosphere and message of the original works. The paper also calls attention to the need to gather information about the literary translators of the Kádár era as long as some of them are still alive, make use of oral history.
Translating Non-standard Language
Authors: Bodrogai Dóra
Published: June 2024

Andrea Camilleri has gained significant success in the last decades with his works written in a special language: by creating a language similar to Sicilian dialect but understandable to other Italian speakers he heavily involved his Sicilian cultural heritage as well and brought it closer not only to an Italian, but a worldwide audience. How are this idiolect and the cultural elements translatable into other languages? There are various approaches, as shown in Quaderni camilleriani 3, and the techniques depend greatly on the target language. In Camilleri’s novels, not only the aforementioned diatopic, but also diastratic and diaphasic variation are characteristic, which is another factor the translator has to take into consideration.
In this paper I would like to examine the translator’s choices in Hungarian regarding this multilingualism. Currently there are seven volumes available in Hungary, four of them translated by Margit Lukácsi, one by Noémi Kovács and Kornél Zaránd, and the last two by Ádám András Kürthy. The paper is also a parallel work to Giulia Magazzù’s, which aims to examine the translations in English of three novels, two of which are in common with this paper: Il cane di terracotta and La forma dell’acqua.
Postcolonial Studies
Authors: Tárnok Attila
Published: June 2024

Postcolonial theory over the years has become an inflated term. The field of study that initially dealt with literatures originating in regions with a colonial past gradually grew to encompass broad social, political or cultural aspects arising in diverse societies with no colonial history. In my article I am concentrating on the original use of the term and going to argue that the research area has turned from being a TOPIC of investigation to a general METHOD. What led to this transformation was the commodification of a post/colonial heritage: during the 1990s the exotic became a marketable cultural product. As primary texts appeared to be profitable ventures on the international publishing scene, postcolonial theory has flourished with key figures occupying cushioned academic positions and creating a body of secondary literature detached from the original mandate of postcolonialism in the original sense of the term.
Peter Carey’s “Homo Australiensis” in A Long Way from Home
Authors: Török Gábor
Published: June 2024

The paper examines Peter Carey’s first book about Indigenous Australians, a topic which he had neglected for decades. Until A Long Way from Home (2017) was written, the two-time Booker Prize winner renowned for portraying Australian identity had yet to confront this crucial matter which he believed was a fundamental issue of the country. Reasons behind this seemingly contradictory and lengthy absence are highlighted along with certain methods with which the author gradually exposes Australia’s shameful past in the treatment of First Nations people. Carey’s approach stays true to his body of work, namely the Aboriginal subject is complemented or intertwined with his portrayal of another layer of Australia’s history: the pan-European heritage of non-Indigenous Australians. But why and in what manner does he integrate European topics into a novel aiming to shed light on the maltreatment and neglect of First Nations Australians? Does this addition not dilute the original aim of paying homage to Indigenous Australia?
My paper argues that Carey successfully utilises certain European identity themes to help show the gravity of sins committed against Australian Indigenous people. The author’s modus operandi is to piece together seemingly neglected fragments of the European legacy with First Nations Australia to reveal a unified entity. Via Willie Bachhuber, a character who most Australians can connect or identify with, Carey joins together various Australian identities which may not have been connected beforehand. With this technique Carey helps ensure the novel is about and for all Australians. I believe that A Long Way from Home crowns Peter Carey’s career as fully depicting Australianness without including Aboriginal people has up until now meant a quite incomplete oeuvre. An ultimate Australian character so-far elusive to Carey, a Homo Australiensis has come to life via a pseudo-German-Balt-Hungarian-Australian, who is actually a First Nations Australian with a white biological father.

To Dream Europe
Authors: Bernardo Fernanda
Published: June 2024

At his last conference in France, on 8 June 2004, in Strasbourg, under the title “Le souverain bien – ou l’ Europe en mal de souveraineté”, Jacques Derrida (1930–2004), always very concerned about Europe and the future of Europe, dared to admit that he dreamed of “a Europe whose universal hospitality and new laws of hospitality or the right of asylum would make it the Noah’s Ark of the 21st century”. Through the question of unconditional hospitality – which, as I try to point out, emphasizes the singularity of Deconstruction as a philosophical idiom and through which Derrida rethinks, with a very different amplitude and justice, the “universal hospitality” of Kantian inspiration – it is the silhouette of hope and of responsibility of Europe, shaped by this dream of Derrida, that I try to sketch here.
Exceeding Humanism
Authors: Horváth Eszter
Published: June 2024

The paper introduces Jean-Luc Nancy and Michel Serres as two philosophers of the perpetual and spontaneous rebeginning of philosophy: always in the process of inventing itself, branching off, mutating, and escaping,  spurring the spirit towards continuous renewal. Nancy and Serres, two whimsically energetic, creative, innovative thinkers, both take into account, even rely in their philosophies on the parasitic procedures that tend to reorganize the structures of western culture. In this paper, these parasitic procedures come to the fore, as one of the most important aspects of innovation and creation.

Authors: Codina Marta , Gironès Ivan , Alcàntara Roger , Breu Adrià
Published: June 2024

Balma de les Cordes was a Bronze Age domestic space among the megalithic landscape of Alta Ribera Salada. This article will delve into the activities carried out within this cavity during prehistory, focusing on the productive activities of populations with easy access to natural sources of salt water. The lithic industry is detailed and an assessment is made of the archaeozoological and ceramic/pottery remains. This study enriches our understanding of the peoples of recent prehistory in Catalonia and opens a debate on the importance of a resource such as salt in shaping prehistoric economies and ways of life.
Salt extraction and processing at Duzdagi (Naxcivan, Azerbaijan): contribution of the technological analysis of the macrolithic tools
Authors: Hamon Caroline
Published: June 2024

The Duzdagi salt deposit is located on the Araxes River, 7 km from the present-day town of Naxcivan (Azerbaijan). This site, exceptional for its size and the density of archaeological remains, has been exploited since the second half of the 5th millennium (Late Chalcolithic), while the main exploitation dates back to the Early Bronze and Iron Ages (Marro et al., 2010; Gonon, et al., 2021). The techno-functional analysis of several hundred stone tools found during surface surveys (Hamon 2016) and excavations (Hamon et al., 2021) focuses on the study of the different types of fittings, manufacturing methods and traces of tool use (hammers, pestles, grinding stones), which casts some lignt on the reconstruction of the extraction techniques and the transformation methods of salt in Duzdagi from the Chalcolithic to the Iron Age.
The Symbolism of Irish Motherland in Eavan Boland’s selected poems: Postcolonial Perspective
Authors: Talib Ashour Mohammed
Published: June 2024

Symbolism is a conscious movement born in France as a reaction against naturalism; the word “Symbolism” was first used by Jean Moreaas in Le Figaro in 1886. On the other hand, Motherland, as a term that appeared around the late 14th century or the beginning of the 15th century, had the same meaning as fatherland, but the last is older, defined as the native country in which one was born. Eavan Boland made different explanations for motherland symbolism, such as the times (past, present, future), and occasionally Motherland refers to the language, literature, and general culture. This study aims to investigate the Irish Motherland’s symbolism in Eavan Boland’s selected poems and how she attempts to employ some Irish symbols to disclose their absent culture. Boland separates the symbols into two kinds, the first is traditional, and the second is a personal symbol. Traditional symbols, for instance, the “rose”, symbolize beauty or woman. In contrast, the poet devised personal symbols from traditional symbols for national purposes, to express the fleeting imitations passing through his mind or to convey his own sense of his life. Also the other purpose of this study is to study the features, principles, and conceptions of symbols in Boland’s poetry by the postcolonialism theory. This paper concluded that the colonizer deliberately hid the Irish Motherland’s symbolism to finish the Irish culture.

Behind-the-scenes: vers l’égalité de genre au sein des présidences syndicales locales?
Authors: Bernard Pelletier Marie-Pier , Le Capitaine Catherine
Published: June 2024

Cet article porte sur l’expérience des présidences impliquées dans les organisations syndicales locales au regard de l'égalité de genre. À partir d’une étude de cas qualitative menée auprès des membres de comités syndicaux de la condition féminine et de présidences syndicales locales du secteur de l’éducation du Québec, notre recherche fait valoir une percée sans précédent des femmes siégeant comme présidentes locales. Néanmoins, l’existence d’une « triple tâche », la persistance de stéréotypes de genre et d’une culture syndicale masculine, le manque de formation et de mentorat ainsi que le recours à la sollicitation nuisent à l’atteinte de l’égalité de genre. Nos résultats de recherche font aussi ressortir une faible représentation de la diversité des identités sociales au sein de l’organisation syndicale étudiée.

Résumé

Cet article porte sur l’expérience des présidences impliquées dans les organisations syndicales locales au regard de l'égalité de genre. Dans un contexte où l’équité, la diversité et l’inclusion de la main-d’oeuvre sont plus que jamais d’actualité, cet écrit contribue aux réflexions entourant le déficit démocratique de la représentation des femmes au sein des organisations syndicales. Les résultats reposent sur une étude de cas qualitative menée auprès des membres de deux comités syndicaux de la condition féminine et de 16 présidences syndicales locales travaillant dans le secteur de l’éducation du Québec. En recueillant le point de vue de ces femmes et de ces hommes, notre recherche fait valoir une avancée quant à la place longtemps délaissée des femmes siégeant localement comme présidentes au sein de l’organisation syndicale étudiée. Ce sont les efforts déployés par les syndicats eux-mêmes qui ont permis peu à peu aux femmes d’accéder à l’univers syndical traditionnellement masculin. Derrière cette percée sans précédent, il en ressort néanmoins que cette avancée demeure lacunaire pour atteindre l’égalité de genre. Outre un certain déficit numérique des femmes qui résiste au temps qui passe, la difficulté d’articuler une « triple tâche », la persistance de stéréotypes de genre, la prégnance d’une culture syndicale masculine, le manque de formation et de mentorat ainsi que le recours à la sollicitation sont des freins importants qui empêchent les femmes d’accéder aux postes syndicaux locaux. De plus, la représentation de la diversité des identités sociales (âge, situation familiale, race, etc.) est encore peu présente au palier décisionnel local de l’organisation syndicale étudiée, et ce, même parmi les femmes élues. La diversité et la représentation de l’égalité de genre demeurent des défis à prioriser pour assurer une organisation syndicale pérenne et démocratique.
Financial Legal Aspects of the Use of Digital Tools in International Settlements
Authors: Andrianova Natalia Gennadievna
Published: June 2024

In the context of sanctions pressure on the Russian Federation, active search for alternative mechanisms for carrying out international settlements outside the use of the banking system is needed. In the article the problems and prospects for the use of such digital instruments as digital rights (digital financial assets, utilitarian digital rights), digital currency and digital ruble for international settlements are analyzed. The changes that came into force in March 2024, which allowed the use of digital financial assets and utilitarian digital rights for international settlements, are analyzed. The main problems and risks of the use of digital currencies (cryptocurrencies) for international settlements have been considered. An analysis of possible ways to start international settlements in central bank digital currencies was carried out. In this study, the following methods were used: analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, formal legal method. Based on the results of the study on the use of digital tools as alternative mechanisms for international settlements in the face of sanctions pressure, it was found that mechanisms with a lower level of risk are international settlements using central bank digital currencies and digital rights (digital financial assets and utilitarian digital rights). It was proposed to develop a mechanism that allows international settlements using foreign digital financial assets to increase the attractiveness of an alternative settlement tool for non-residents. It was established that the emergence of the possibility of making international settlements using digital financial assets and utilitarian digital rights will entail the need to improve the rules for currency control over such transactions. The legal regime for the use of cryptocurrencies for international settlements should provide detailed conditions for its use by most exporters and importers, which will allow it to be used as an alternative mechanism for settlements in the context of economic sanctions.

A agenda 2030 que propugna os 17 Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) ficará imune às consequências dos efeitos da pandemia? Esse artigo analisa o debate internacional que afirma que é mais necessário do que nunca seguir a Agenda 2030 com a mesma ambição, independentemente dos efeitos da pandemia, e aponta possibilidades para seguir atuando na ativação da Agenda. Sob a ótica de uma revisão narrativa contextualizada e qualitativa são apresentados os planos de implementação da Agenda 2030 de cinco únicos municípios brasileiros reportados voluntariamente no site da ONU, entre 2017 e 2023. Estes planos são analisados 1) por sua visão de futuro, 2) pela sua ambição na definição de metas, e 3) pelas atividades de ativação local da Agenda. Os municípios atendem ao clamor internacional da necessária localização da agenda, pois todos os cinco identificam ações locais conectadas com os 17 ODS, mas fazem suas, respectivas, escolhas e prioridades. Esses cinco casos demostram possibilidades de ativação da Agenda 2030 localmente mesmo frente ao impacto social, sanitário e econômico da Covid-19.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: Currently, the physical and functional consequences on individuals who have recovered from the severe form of the Covid-19 and are experiencing traumatic stress remain unknown. Objective: To assess post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in individuals post-hospital discharge following COVID-19 and investigate its relationship with sociodemographic variables, quality of life, muscle strength and functional capacity. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted, including individuals of both genders aged between 31 and 79 years, who had recovered from COVID-19 and required hospitalization. Participants underwent evaluations for PTSD, physical activity level, mobility and balance (Timed Up and Go test – TUG), the distance covered in the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and quality of life (Short Form-36 Health Srvey -SF-36). Results: Out of 153 eligible individuals, 60 successfully completed the assessments. The age range was 31 to 77 years, and 63.3% were female. PTSD was identified in 48.3%, with 38.7% exhibiting partial symptoms. Furthermore, 65.5% of individuals with PTSD were obese, and 62.1% were hypertensive. This group demonstrated a higher degree of sedentary behavior (p=0.009), increased frequency of intensive care unit hospitalization, and a greater number of days hospitalized, respectively (p<0.001 and p=0.010). They exhibited longer times in the TUG (p=0.014), shorter distances than predicted in the 6MWT (p=0.001), and a reduction in all domains of the SF-36. Conclusion: Given the findings of this study, the follow-up of these individuals needs to be continued in order to verify the permanence of these symptoms and functional manifestations.

Behavioral responses of a clonal fish to perceived predation risk
Authors: Aguiñaga Jonathan , Jin Sophia , Pesati Ishita , Laskowski Kate L.
Published: June 2024

Predation threat is a major driver of behavior in many prey species. Animals can recognize their relative risk of predation based on cues in the environment, including visual and/or chemical cues released by a predator or from its prey. When threat of predation is high, prey often respond by altering their behavior to reduce their probability of detection and/or capture. Here, we test how a clonal fish, the Amazon molly (Poecilia formosa), behaviorally responds to predation cues. We measured aggressive and social behaviors both under ‘risk’, where chemical cues from predatory fish and injured conspecifics were present, and control contexts (no risk cues present). We predicted that mollies would exhibit reduced aggression towards a simulated intruder and increased sociability under risk contexts as aggression might increase their visibility to a predator and shoaling should decrease their chance of capture through the dilution effect. As predicted, we found that Amazon mollies spent more time with a conspecific when risk cues were present, however they did not reduce their aggression. This highlights the general result of the ‘safety in numbers’ behavioral response that many small shoaling species exhibit, including these clonal fish, which suggests that mollies may view this response as a more effective anti-predator response compared to limiting their detectability by reducing aggressive conspecific interactions.
Análisis de la evidencia disponible sobre las estrategias de los programas odontológicos en Atención Primaria de Salud y su influencia en la calidad de vida del adulto mayor. Revisión tipo Scoping Review

El envejecimiento poblacional ha generado una visión distinta en cuanto a las políticas públicas realizadas, ya que deben crearse programas dirigidos especialmente a los adultos mayores y la importancia de entregar una mejor calidad de vida. En el área de la salud, Chile cuenta con programas de salud integral para las personas mayores, pero desafortunadamente ha sido insuficiente en el área de salud oral ya que la cobertura odontológica para la población de adultos mayores se restringen para atenciones odontológicas limitadas. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la evidencia publicada en torno a las estrategias en los programas odontológicos en Atención Primaria de Salud y su influencia en la calidad de vida del adulto mayor. Se realizó una revisión tipo scoping review de estudios entre los años 2001 y 2022. La búsqueda de los artículos se realizó en plataformas digitales: Pubmed, SciELO y Scopus, seleccionando 14 artículos cuyos resultados indican la relación existente entre el estado de salud bucal con la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud oral (OHRQoL) en los adultos mayores.Del total de artículos seleccionados, el 35,7 % de los estudios evidenció un aumento en la calidad de vida autopercibida con la intervención odontológica aplicada . De los 14 artículos que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión, el 35,7% corresponden a intervenciones odontológicas y 64.3 % corresponden a estudios para determinar la relación de factores sociodemográficos y parámetros clínicos como factores predictivos de la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud oral. El conocimiento relacionado con la salud bucal en los adultos mayores y su influencia en la calidad de vida es limitado. Los estudios incluidos informaron una variedad de indicadores de salud bucal clínicos objetivos y subjetivos, lo que indica una falta de medidas estandarizadas de enfermedades bucales entre adultos mayores. A medida que la población geriátrica continúa aumentando, los modelos actuales de atención odontológica deben reevaluarse para garantizar la satisfacción de las necesidades de salud específicas de los adultos mayores. El concepto de calidad de vida incorpora esencialmente la autopercepción del paciente como una necesidad en la evaluación de resultados en salud, es esencial un fortalecimiento de las estrategias utilizadas en los programas odontológicos actuales, con la definición de nuevos programas o una reformulación de los ya existentes para dar cobertura a las necesidades nacionales en salud oral en la Atención Primaria de Salud de este grupo poblacional.Actividad Final Integrada para Optar al Grado de Magíster en Salud Pública

Aims: The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of tillage, stubble mulch and nutrient on growth, yield and quality of strawberry.
Study Design: The experiment was conducted using a split plot design, with three main plots, four sub plots and three replications each.
Place and Duration of Study: The field experiment was conducted in ICR farm of Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat during winter season of 2021-22.
Methodology: The experiment consists of 3 main plots each including (bed planting with rice stubble mulch, minimum tillage with rice stubble mulch and conventional tillage practice) and 4 sub plots having (10-7-7 g/m2 N-P-K with 5 kg/m2 FYM, 7.5-5-5 g/m2 N-P-K + vermicompost 200g/m2 in equal split at 10 and 30 DAP, 5-3.5-3.5 g/m2 N-P-K + vermicompost 200g/m2 in equal split at 10 and 30 DAP and 200-20-2 (FYM-lime-wood ash) g/plant in equal split at 10 and 30 DAP).
Results: The results revealed that bed planting with rice stubble mulch was superior over other tillage and mulch treatments in respect of vegetative growth, quality parameters and yield. Application of 200-20-2 (FYM-lime-wood ash) g/plant significantly resulted in maximum vegetative growth and yield. However, best quality parameters like highest TSS, sugars and low acidity were recorded in treatment having 5-3.5-3.5 g/m2 N-P-K + vermicompost 200g/m2.
Conclusion: From this experiment we concluded that bed planting with rice stubble mulch along with application of 200-20-2 (FYM-lime-wood ash) g/plant leads to maximum vegetative growth and yield in strawberry. And rice fallow and stubble mulch technique can be utilized for successful production of annual strawberry for higher return with minimum investment.

Let wr be a given integer sequence in arithmetic progression with a common difference d. The study of diophantine equations, which are polynomial equations seeking integer solutions, has been a very interesting journey in the field of number theory. Historically, these equations have attracted the attention of many mathematicians due to their intrinsic challenges and their significance in understanding the properties of integers. In this current study, we examine a diophantine equation relating the sum of squared integers from specific sequences to a variable d: In particular, the diophantine equation  \(\sum_{r=1}^n w_r^2+\frac{n}{3} d^2=3\left(\frac{n d^2}{3}+\sum_{r=1}^{\frac{n}{3}} w_{3 r-1}^2\right)\) is introduced and partially characterized. The objective is to determine the conditions under which integer solutions for (wr,d) exist within this diophantine equation.The methodology of solving this problem entails, decomposing polynomials, factorizing polynomials, and exploring the solution set of the given equation.

Published: June 2024

Background: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (iSGLT2) inhibitors are a class of medications used in the treatment of Heart Failure (HF) to prevent the development and worsening of the disease. Despite the benefits reported in the literature, it is essential to investigate its adverse effects.
Objective: To evaluate the occurrence of hypotension, volume depletion and acute kidney injury in patients with HF with reduced (HFrEF) and preserved (HFpEF) ejection fraction using iSGLT2.
Methodology: Systematic review and meta-analysis previously registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022365684) and carried out in the PubMed, EBSCO and LILACS databases. The risk of bias analysis was performed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials. RevMan 3.4.1 was used to perform the data meta-analysis.
Results: Of the 9,474 studies found, ten were included in the review. A risk of hypotension was observed in patients with HF using iSGLT2 (RR: 1.15; 95% CI 1.01 – 1.30; p=0.03; I2= 0%), but there was no risk statistically significant occurrence of volume depletion and acute kidney injury (RR: 1.12; 95% CI 1.95 – 1.33; p=0.17; I2= 0%; RR: 0.85; 95% CI 0 .69 – 1.06; p=0.14; 
Conclusion: In therapy with iSGLT2, an increased risk of adverse events of hypotension was observed, but no increased risk of volume depletion and acute kidney injury was observed. Despite the 15% reduction in relative risk in the outcome of acute kidney injury, the results suggest a renal benefit.
