Published: February 2022

Background: Since beauty standards have widely change over the last few decades, women feel self-conscious about having unwanted hair that leads to low self-esteem and some develop depression. Although hirsutism can be emotionally distressing, it can be treated. Females have a lot of pressure to undergo painful procedures of hair removing like plucking, treading and creams that can temporarily remove or reduce the visibility of unwanted facial and body hair. In the past two decades of digital technology, lasers have modernized their use in the treatment of many skin conditions including hirsutism. As intense pulsed light is economical and more cost effective, it can be a more suitable option for those who cannot meet the high expenses of laser treatment. Objective: To evaluate the efficiency of intense pulsed light in females with hirsutism. Study Design: Place and Duration of Study: Department of Dermatology, HIT Hospital Taxila from 1st October 2020 to 30th September 2021. Methodology: Sixty patients of idiopathic hirsutism more than 15 years of age were enrolled. Both the history and examination were done. Diagnosis of idiopathic hirsutism was made on clinical examination using and necessary investigations. Those who had photosensitivity, hormonal therapy or hormonal disturbance, infertility, white hair hirsute, pregnancy, and history of keloid or hypertrophic scar were excluded from the study. Treatment was given for six sessions, with one month apart. Parameters of IPL were adjusted according to (Fitzpatrick) skin type, the density of hair, and fluency, the fluence will be increased subsequently depending upon the response of the patient. Post treatment, participants were evaluated and a 4-point scale was used to grade the results. Patients were told to revisit after 6 months to assess the regrowth of hair on face. Conclusion: Intense pulsed light is the cheap, effective and safe option for hirsutism that a third world country like ours needed where the socio-economic status is relatively low. Keywords: Idiopathic hirsutism, Intense pulsed light (IPL), Fitzpatrick skin type

Authors: Fareed Azam Muhammad , Mahsud Sara , Salahuddin Gulwish , Afzal Rukhsana Shaheen , Hameed Abdul , Khan Mahwash Azam
Published: February 2022

Background: Shivering is a normal physiologic protective mechanism of the body, which in response to core hypothermia, increases metabolic heat production that results in involuntary, oscillatory muscle activity. Spinal anesthesia promotes redistribution of body heat from central to the peripheral compartments. After spinal anesthesia shivering occurs in 40-60% of patients. Tramadol is synthetic codeine analog that is weak Mu opioid receptor agonist. It also has effect of norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake inhibition. It proves to be more effective in prevention and treatment of shivering and it also has less side effects then Mu opioid agonists. Objective: To compare the outcome of hyperbaric bupivacaine alone, with combination of hyperbaric bupivacaine and tramadol to prevent frequency of shivering in spinal anaesthesia. Study Design: Randomized clinical trial study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Anaesthesiology & Gynaecology, POF Hospital, Wah Cantt, HIT Taxilla and Izzat Ali Shah Hospital, Wah Cantt from 1st December 2018 to 31st December 2020. Methodology: One hundred and 100 patients were included and divided into two equal groups. Patients in Group A received 2ml of 0.75% hyperbaric bupivacaine (15mg) and group B received 2ml of 0.75% hyperbaric bupivacaine (15mg) and preservative free tramadol (10mg, 0.2ml) in spinal anesthesia. Results: There were 13 (26%) female patients in group A and 37 (74%) male patients. In group B there were 35 (70%) male patients and 15 (30%) female patients. The mean age in group A was 42±8.05 years and 42±8.02 years in group B. Thirty two (64%) in whom shivering was present and 18 (36%) no shivering accrued in group A while in group B, 11 (22%) in whom shivering was present and 39 (78%) no shivering accrued (P<0.05). Conclusion: Post-anesthetic shivering appeared to be present in post spinal anaesthesia patients very commonly. Administration of tramadol has proved to significantly reduce incidence of shivering. More studies still need to be done on tramadol to confirm its efficacy in preveting and stopping shivering without systemic effects on patients. Keywords: Spinal anaesthesia, Bupivacaine, Tramadol, Shivering

Published: February 2022

Introduction: The most frequent brain tumors in adults are high-grade gliomas and meningiomas. Having a discouraging prognosis of high-grade gliomas and knowing that the prognosis improves depending on the degree of tumor resection, is that new therapeutic strategies are sought, one of them is the use of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) thanks to the fluorescence it produce in the tumor it allows to improve the rate of tumor resection, finally improving the prognosis of the patients. We presented the first experience in Almenara Hospital of the use of 5-ALA in a patient with a diagnosis of high-grade glioma. Clinical Case: Presents itself the case of a 48-year-old male patient with clinical evidence of motor and sensory deficit contralateral to the lesion, without alteration of the state of consciousness. The magnetic resonance of the encephalon with contrast, a right frontal lesion is evidenced compatible with high-grade glioma. Therefore, it is programmed for guided surgery with fluorescence, where 5-ALA is used, and a total resection of the tumor is performed, obtaining an anaplastic ependymoma as pathological anatomy. The patient presented an increase in the motor deficit, which he later recovered. In the tomographic control with contrast at 4 months, complete tumor resection is evident. Conclusion: 5-aminolevulinic acid is a drug that helps to properly delimit the edges of a high-grade glioma, by using a modified microscope, and thus increases the degree of tumor resection, ultimately improving the prognosis of the disease.

The Transylvanian-Saxon University at War: Trabanten in John Sigismund Szapolyai’s
Campaigns at the North-Western Borders of Transylvania (1561–1567)
Authors: Câmpeanu Liviu
Published: February 2022

"Throughout the seventh decade of the sixteenth century, the border regions located
in north‑western Transylvania were disputed between Ferdinand of Habsburg and John Sigismund
Szapolyai. The actual stake of this conflict was, in fact, the Crown of St. Stephen, claimed by both
dynasties, as ‘true heirs’ of the medieval kings of Hungary. Despite being already treated by the
Hungarian and Romanian historiographies, there is also a lesser‑known aspect of these conflicts:
the involvement of the Transylvanian Saxons in John Sigismund Szapolyai’s war efforts in the
Partes Hungariae. The unpublished and underused account books of the Transylvanian‑Saxon
University and those of Sibiu and the Seven Seats dating from the mentioned period reveal exciting
data on the topic, which I aim to analyze in the present paper. According to these sources, the
Transylvanian‑Saxon University hired infantry handgunners, also known as trabanten, who
participated in the north‑western campaigns of John Sigismund Szapolyai between 1561 and 1568.

This research was conducted on oil palm and coconut plantation commodities in North Aceh Regency. The purpose of this study is to analyze the cost structure and the comparison of net income in the two businesses. The analytical methods used are cost analysis, net income, and Independent T-test analysis. The results of the analysis show that the production cost of oil palm plantations is higher than that of coconut. However, the results of the income analysis show that both businesses provide benefits to farmers and are feasible to work on. Furthermore, based on the results of the Independent T-test analysis shows that there is a significant difference in income/profits in the two businesses. The average income/profit of oil palm plantations is higher than that of coconut plantations due to the productivity and price of coconut being lower than that of oil palm. In addition, generally coconut farmers in the research locations directly market their coconuts after harvesting, and it is very rare for farmers to consider the selling price factor. Unlike the case with oil palm farmers, although the price of fresh fruit bunch fluctuates, it follows the standard price both between farmers and between regions. Oil palm farmers also often receive counseling from various parties, while coconut farmers in the research location have never received any counseling at all.

Hou Hanru begins his talk by shifting the conversation away from the idea of the labyrinth and instead initially refocuses it on the idea of movement. Jean Tinguely once paradoxically described movement as static, because “it is the only immutable thing—the only certainty, the only unchangeable.” To Hanru, this idea of movement as the most stable, static form of existence is highly inspiring. He sees movement as a sign of both modernity and liberty, connected to the idea of the labyrinth through their shared role in exploring the limits of the museum as an institution, and of exploring the institution’s capacity for change. Hanru outlines how the themes of the labyrinth, movement, and limits are all pertinent to his project Cities on the Move, curated in collaboration with Hans-Ulrich Obrist. Cities on the Move explores Asian models of modernity and development, as expressed through its urbanization. The project traveled to seven cities around the world, changing every iteration with each instance—each new labyrinth, as it were—and representing a different reimagining in condensed form of what an Asian city might be. The project did not merely address urban form, it also grappled with social contexts and new ideas on how to form relationships between individuals, collectives, and different societal arenas.

The Influence of Two Different Time of Concentration Equations on the GIUH-based Flood Hydrograph Estimates of Keduang and Temon Sub-Watersheds, Indonesia
Authors: Harset Demetrio , Jayadi Rachmad , Legono Djoko
Published: February 2022

Understanding the rainfall-runoff response on a watershed requires the study of both the observed and synthetic unit hydrographs. The application of a synthetic unit hydrograph for an ungauged watershed is the prospective alternative. Model development to obtain the unit hydrograph without rainfall and runoff data requires information on the physical characteristics of the watershed and its geomorphological parameters. This paper presents the results of a study on the application of the Geomorphological Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph (GIUH) model in which the time of concentration equations of Kirpich and Ventura were used as a comparison. The study objects are the Keduang and Temon Sub-watersheds of the Upper Bengawan Solo River, Indonesia. The study utilized the sub-watershed characteristic data obtained from the satellite data of ASTER Global DEM V3, which was then processed with the Watershed Modeling System and ArcMap. The results show that in the Keduang Sub-watershed, the Ventura equation gave results closer to the observed unit hydrograph than the Kirpich equation. In the Keduang Sub-watershed, the differences between the two times of concentration on the triangular parameters were significant, i.e. 77.13%, 337.57%, and 338.20% for peak discharge, peak time, and base time, respectively. On the other hand, in Temon Sub-watershed, the differences were 33.88%, 28.63%, and 25.09% for peak discharge, peak time, and base time, respectively. In terms of the GIUH-based flood hydrograph estimation, the results show that the utilization of the Ventura equation generally led to better estimates (closer to the observed flood hydrograph) than that of Kirpich equation.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) is one of the popular medicinal plants that is widely used and consumed in Thailand. In particular, it is taken to mix with curry and used as an herbal medicine for the general public. In this study, the specific activities of natural (226Ra, 232Th and 40K) and anthropogenic (137Cs) radionuclides that had accumulated in the rhizomes of fresh turmeric plants were measured and analyzed using a high purity germanium detector (HPGe) and gamma spectrometric analysis system. A total of 20 samples of fresh turmeric were collected from Lan Khoi Sub-district, Pa Phayom District, Phatthalung Province and were then prepared according to the standard method described in the IAEA manual. It was found that the range of values of 226Ra,232Th, 40K and 137Cs were <1.48-4.36, 7.78 - 17.65, 719.52 - 974.43, and < 1.40 - < 2.31 Bq/kg, respectively. The average values of those ranges were 1.99±0.07, 10.30 ± 0.40, 818.03 ± 22.85, and <1.82 ± 0.25 Bq/kg, respectively. According to the asymmetrical distribution of specific activities of all required radionuclides, the median values of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K were used to evaluate some related radiological hazard indices which were annual radionuclide intake (Da), annual effective dose (Deff), total annual effective dose (Dtotal), and Lifetime Cancer Risk (LCR). Furthermore, the results were presented and compared to national and international recommended data. Moreover, the measured and evaluated values fell under the recommended limits of the UNSCEAR and IAEA.

Published: February 2022

An anticorrosion layer is a significant component that prevents the corrosion process in materials. In this work, a nanofiber of poly (methyl methacrylate) composited with few-layer-graphene was prepared as an anticorrosion layer. An electrospinning process was applied to prepare composite nanofiber on a metal substrate at various concentrations of few-layer graphene. The physical properties of the composite nanofiber were investigated with field-emission scanning electron microscope, Raman spectroscopy, and contact angle measurement. The corrosion behavior was tested in an aqueous solution of 3.5% by weight of sodium chloride. It was found that a few-layer graphene concentration of 2 wt% in polymethacrylate showed the optimum anticorrosion on aluminum sheet, as observed on a Tafel graph. Compared with the uncoated metal, the coated aluminum sheet was protected against corrosion with a protection efficiency of 99.33%. The prepared materials prevented the infiltration of water and solution ions into the metal plate.

Statistical descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were performed to analysis the data. The result of the research shows that acceptance of tourism academia toward implementation of the new-normal policy was simultaneously influenced by their perception of the impact caused by the pandemic to the industry as well as their perception about the dangerous disease itself, even though partially, the impact of the pandemic seems to be the stronger influencing factor compared to their perception about the dangerous disease. The article concludes that tourism academia accepted the opening of the tourism industry while stressing that the opening should be accompanied by strict implementation of the new-normal protocol, to prevent the second wave of the pandemic COVID-19 as well as to prevent future irreversible damages to the tourism industry in term of its safety and security image.
Exégesis sobre el tratamiento legal de las zonas húmedas en el ordenamiento jurídico español de aguas decimonónico
Authors: Abellán Contreras Francisco José
Published: February 2022

Desde época romana las zonas húmedas o humedales eran consideradas, en términos generales, áreas de escaso valor amén de enclaves insalubres; de ahí que los poderes públicos ordenaran su desecación y conversión masiva en tierras de labor. Su concepción peyorativa unida al rechazo generalizado por parte de los gobernantes y opinión pública, llevó al legislador de la época a desarrollar diversas acciones encaminadas a su erradicación, cuya continuidad quedaría perfectamente definidas en la legislación decimonónica española de aguas. En efecto, tanto las Leyes de Aguas de 1866 y 1879, como la Ley de Puertos de 1880, a través de diversas concesiones, exenciones y demás dispensas, lograron incentivar, por toda la geografía peninsular, numerosos proyectos de desecación y saneamiento de terrenos que, sin duda alguna, contribuyeron al desarrollo socioeconómico del país.
Incongruencias de un sistema rehabilitador: severidad, cifras, limitantes y alternativas
Authors: Punín Tandazo Pablo
Published: February 2022

En el presente artículo se hace una aproximación a la situación actual de la realidad carcelaria ecuatoriana, tomando las cifras existentes como base para evidenciar que las soluciones planteadas no han tenido efectos positivos. Se analizan y evalúan los efectos de la política punitiva aplicada al delito más perpetrado en Ecuador (robo), para determinar si existió incidencia entre lo ejecutado y la reducción de criminalidad respecto a este delito. De igual forma, se expone la necesidad de buscar soluciones distintas al punitivismo puro, utilizando como partida el fracaso de prisión y el análisis de un sistema alternativo de penas con sus efectos en una realidad comparada. En concreto, se toman en cuenta figuras alternativas a la pena privativa de libertad aplicables en la realidad española, como lo son la suspensión de la pena y el trabajo en beneficio de la comunidad. Se estudia su uso en España y Ecuador, de manera en la que se pueden observar las principales diferencias en los márgenes legales de aplicación. Además, se hace una breve mención a los efectos que han tenido las mismas en la realidad del país ibérico y su contribución a la descongestión del sistema carcelario.
Reconocimiento facial y protección de datos: una respuesta provisional a un problema pendiente
Authors: Santisteban Galarza Mario
Published: February 2022

Las técnicas de reconocimiento facial se están expandiendo, y además de suponer importantes avances en la seguridad y la comodidad en el acceso a bienes y servicios, pueden poner en peligro derechos y libertades. Hasta el momento, a la espera de una regulación europea del uso de la Inteligencia Artificial, la normativa de protección de datos es el principal límite legal a la implementación de esta tecnología. El presente estudio pretende analizar las implicaciones que tiene el reconocimiento facial como un tratamiento biométrico de datos. En particular, trata de analizar los supuestos en los que el Reglamento General de Datos permite el uso de estas tecnologías, haciendo hincapié en las bases jurídicas que fundamentan el tratamiento de datos.

Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) version 1.1 :
Authors: Souppaya Murugiah , Scarfone Karen , Dodson Donna
Published: February 2022

Few software development life cycle (SDLC) models explicitly address software security in detail, so secure software development practices usually need to be added to each SDLC model to ensure that the software being developed is well-secured. This document recommends the Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) a core set of high-level secure software development practices that can be integrated into each SDLC implementation. Following such practices should help software producers reduce the number of vulnerabilities in released software, mitigate the potential impact of the exploitation of undetected or unaddressed vulnerabilities, and address the root causes of vulnerabilities to prevent future recurrences. Because the framework provides a common vocabulary for secure software development, software acquirers can also use it to foster communications with suppliers in acquisition processes and other management activities.
La interacción de la audiencia en las series de ficción: El caso de SKAM España
Authors: García Vega Alba , De la Fuente Prieto Julián , Martínez-Borda Rut
Published: February 2022

El modo de consumo de las series de ficción se encuentra en una transformación que dota de importancia a la interacción entre los espectadores y los diferentes elementos narrativos. Esta transición viene principalmente determinada por los nuevos hábitos de consumo de la audiencia, influenciados por las redes sociales y el valor que le otorgan a la participación con el contenido y el resto de espectadores. El objetivo principal de esta investigación es el análisis de la interacción que se genera en la red social Twitter respecto al remake SKAM España (Movistar+, 2018-actualidad) de la serie noruega SKAM (NRK, 2015-2017). La serie se aproxima a la vida real de los adolescentes y ha dado lugar a una red de interacciones por parte de la audiencia. Esto posibilita que los espectadores sean capaces de sentirse identificados e inmersos en la ficción. Para la elaboración de este artículo se emplea un análisis cualitativo basado en la etnografía virtual y perspectivas ecológicas con el fin de interpretar las acciones de los espectadores y así poder estudiar este fenómeno social. El artículo concluye que la eficacia de la interacción entre la audiencia joven y los elementos narrativos surge de la adaptación de la narrativa de la serie para que los espectadores se sientan identificados con las tramas y los personajes.
Tendencias en la producción científica sobre desinformación en España. Revisión sistematizada de la literatura (2016-2021)
Authors: García-Marín David , Salvat-Martinrey Guiomar
Published: February 2022

Tras la victoria de Donald Trump en las elecciones estadounidenses y el referéndum del brexit en el Reino Unido, el año 2016 marcó el inicio de los análisis sobre la problemática de la desinformación en su forma actual. En el contexto español, la mayor parte de las investigaciones se ha producido desde el año 2018, cuando vieron la luz los primeros monográficos específicos sobre esta temática. Desde entonces, la atención de la academia española hacia la desinformación ha ido en aumento y se prevé que continúe siendo relevante en los próximos años. En este contexto, el objetivo de este trabajo es realizar una completa cartografía de la producción científica sobre desinformación publicada en España en el periodo 2016-2021. En concreto, se pretende analizar las metodologías, las técnicas de investigación y los objetos de estudio predominantes en este campo; así como las revistas, los autores y las instituciones más prolíficas. Para ello, se ejecutó una revisión sistematizada de todos los artículos sobre desinformación publicados en todas las revistas españolas indexadas en la categoría de comunicación en Scopus y Dialnet, a fin de realizar un estudio de tipo cuantitativo con tratamiento estadístico descriptivo e inferencial. Los resultados determinan que la investigación sobre las nuevas temáticas en comunicación se sigue realizando con las técnicas y perspectivas consolidadas desde hace varias décadas, lo que apunta a una cierta dificultad a la hora de innovar en metodologías o adoptar enfoques procedentes de otras áreas del conocimiento.

El cicle econòmic iniciat amb la fallida financera del 2007 ha avivat l'interès per viure alternatives al capitalisme. Com a resposta a la crisi el cooperativisme com a ferramenta organitzativa i l'economia solidària com a àmbit productiu ofereixen el marc des del que es proposen diferents projectes d'autogestió de l'economia. El llibre “Fer el salt: cooperativisme i economia solidària” aborda aquesta auge d'iniciatives per acoblar modes de vida amb modes de lluita. Es tracta d'una apropament des del marc teòric i legal fins al pràctic a diferents projectes que estan dibuixant l'esbós autogestionari d'un model alternatiu al capitalisme.
Vender tabaco à escala do reino: a distribuição no monopólio português, 1721-1722
Authors: Münch Miranda Susana
Published: February 2022

Este artigo examina as estratégias organizacionais que os contratadores-gerais, Willem de Bruijn e Paulo Cloots, implementaram para operacionalizar o segmento da distribuição de tabaco no mercado doméstico português. A análise dessas estratégias permite concluir que o consórcio holandês pôs em prática soluções inovadoras na comercialização do tabaco que tiveram um impacte positivo nas provedorias do Sul do país. A comparação com as provedorias do Centro e Norte de Portugal mostra também que foi no Sul que o consórcio holandês conseguiu mitigar conflitos de agência.
C. elegans as an in vivo model system for the phenotypic drug discovery for treating paraquat poisoning
Authors: Ji Peng , Li Hongyuan , Jin Yushan , Peng Yinghua , Zhao Lihui , Wang Xiaohui
Published: February 2022

Background

Paraquat (PQ) is an effective and widely used herbicide and causes numerous fatalities by accidental or voluntary ingestion. However, neither the final cytotoxic mechanism nor effective treatments for PQ poisoning have been discovered. Phenotypic drug discovery (PDD), which does not rely on the molecular mechanism of the diseases, is having a renaissance in recent years owing to its potential to address the incompletely understood complexity of diseases. Herein, the C. elegans PDD model was established to pave the way for the future phenotypic discovery of potential agents for treating PQ poisoning.

Methods

C. elegans were treated with PQ-containing solid medium followed by statistical analysis of worm survival, pharyngeal pumping, and movement ability. Furthermore, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) was used to test the C. elegans model of PQ poisoning by measuring the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA), mitochondrial morphology, and worm survival rate. Additionally, we used the classic mice model of PQ intoxication to evaluate the validity of the C. elegans model of PQ poisoning by measuring the effect of CoQ10 as a potential antidote for PQ poisoning.

Results

In the C. elegans model of PQ poisoning, 5 mg/mL PQ increased the levels of ROS, MDA content, mitochondrial fragments, which significantly shortened the lifespan, while CoQ10 alleviated these phenotypes. In the mice model of PQ poisoning, CoQ10 increased the chance of survival in PQ poisoned mice while reducing ROS, MDA content in lung tissue and inhibiting PQ-induced lung edema. Moreover, CoQ10 alleviated the lung morphopathological changes induced by PQ.

Conclusion

Here we established a C. elegans model of PQ poisoning, whose validity was confirmed by the classic mice model of PQ intoxication.
