Authors: Hellal Mohamed Saad , Doma Hala Salah , Abou-Taleb Enas Mohamed
Published: January 2023

This study aimed to investigate, from a techno-economic point of view, cattle slaughterhouse wastewater (CSWW) treatment via the electrocoagulation (EC) technique. A novel lab-scale EC unit with a 3 L volume was manufactured and tested. The EC unit contains nine identical cylindrical shape electrodes from aluminum material in connection with a controllable DC power supply. Investigation of optimum operating parameters in terms of pH, current density (CD), contact time, and electrolyte concentration was carried out in batch mode and then applied to continuous mode. At each batch, a cost analysis was calculated in terms of the consumption of electrode material and electrical power. The optimum operating conditions at which the best removal efficiency was achieved were pH 7, contact time 75 min, total dissolved solids of 3000 mg L−1, and CD of 4 mA cm−2. After application of these conditions on continuous flow mode, the removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand, color, turbidity, biological oxygen demand, and oil, grease were 95, 99, 99, 97 and 95%, respectively. The total electrode consumption and electrical consumptions were 0.6 kg m−3and 0.87 kWh m−3with an operational cost of about $1.5 m−3. This proved that EC is a techno-economically effective treatment method than other conventional treatment methods for high-rate removal of pollutants from CSWW.
Microbial repairing of concrete & its role in CO2 sequestration: a critical review
Authors: Bandyopadhyay Atrayee , Saha Anwesha , Ghosh Diya , Dam Bomba , Samanta Amiya K. , Dutta Susmita
Published: January 2023

Background

Being the most widely used construction material, concrete health is considered a very important aspect from the structural point of view. Microcracks in concrete cause water and chlorine ions to enter the structure, causing the concrete to degrade and the reinforcement to corrode, posing an unacceptable level of structural risk. Hence repair of these cracks in an eco-friendly and cost-effective way is in the interest of various researchers. Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is an effective way considered by various researchers to heal those concrete cracks along with an important environmental contribution of CO2 (carbon dioxide) sequestration in the process.

Main content

As the current concentration of CO2 in the earth’s atmosphere is about 412 ppm, it possesses a deadly threat to the environmental issue of global warming. The use of bacteria for MICP can not only be a viable solution to repairing concrete cracks but also can play an important role of CO2 arrestation in carbonate form. This will help in carbon level management to lessen the adverse effects of this greenhouse gas on the atmospheric environment, particularly on the climate. To overcome the insufficiency of studies concentrating on this aspect, this review article focuses on the metabolic pathways and mechanisms of MICP and highlights the value of MICP for CO2 arrestation/sequestration from the atmosphere during the process of self-healing of concrete cracks, which is also the novelty of this work. An overview of recent studies on the implementation of MICP in concrete crack repair is used to discuss and analyse the factors influencing the effectiveness of MICP in the process, including various approaches used for CO2 sequestration. Furthermore, this investigation concentrates on finding the scope of work in the same field for the most effective ways of CO2 sequestration in the process of self-healing cracks of concrete.

Conclusion

In a prospective study, MICP can be an effective technology for CO2 sequestration in concrete crack repair, as it can reduce adverse environmental impacts and provide greener environment. This critical study concludes that MICP can bear a significant role in arrestation/sequestration of CO2, under proper atmospheric conditions with a cautious selection of microorganisms and its nutrient for the MICP procedure.

Ο Νικόλαος Χαλικιόπουλος Μάντζαρος (1795‒1872) υπήρξε ο πρώτος Έλληνας που δίδαξε συστηματικά τα θεωρητικάτης δυτικής μουσικής, καταρτίζοντας την πρώτη γενιά ελλήνων μουσικοδιδασκάλων και συνθετών. Η μελέτη τηςαρμονικής του θεωρίας αποκαλύπτει έναν δάσκαλο έντονα επηρεασμένο από την ιταλική μουσική εκπαίδευση, ο οποίοςσυνδύαζε τις κλασικές νοτιοϊταλικές μεθόδους (κυρίως της παράδοσης του partimento) με τις νεωτερικέςβορειοϊταλικές που βασίζονταν στις θεωρίες του Rameau. Η αποτελεσματικότητα για την οποία επαινέθηκε η μέθοδόςτου δείχνει να οφείλεται σε αυτήν ακριβώς τη συνδυαστική, θεωρητικο-πρακτική προσέγγιση, και στη χρήση έξιαναλυτικών εργαλείων. Επίσης, σύμφωνα με ισχυρές ενδείξεις, ως σημαντικότερη επιρροή του για τη διαμόρφωση τουιδιαίτερου θεωρητικού του συστήματος αναδεικνύεται ο βέλγος θεωρητικός Momigny.Κεντρικός σκοπός της εν λόγω εργασίας είναι η συγκέντρωση των στοιχείων που συνθέτουν την αρμονική θεωρίατου Μάντζαρου, η παράθεσή τους, και ο σχολιασμός τους. Τα στοιχεία αυτά έχουν αντληθεί κυρίως από πρωτογενείςπηγές, δηλαδή τα σωζόμενα εκπαιδευτικά εγχειρίδιά του που σχετίζονται με την αρμονία είτε άμεσα είτε έμμεσα. Στονσχολιασμό των πηγών γίνεται απόπειρα να εξηγηθούν λεπτομερώς τα στοιχεία που συγκροτούν τη μαντζαρική θεωρία.Συγκρίνονται επίσης πολλά επιμέρους στοιχεία της με αντίστοιχα στοιχεία όπως αυτά συναντώνται σε άλλουςθεωρητικούς, με στόχο (α) τον εντοπισμό πιθανών πηγών της μαντζαρικής θεωρίας, και (β) την τοποθέτησή της μέσαστο πλαίσιο της εποχής της.Το κεφ. 1 της διατριβής ασχολείται με δευτερογενείς πηγές που μας πληροφορούν για τη μουσική κατάρτιση τουΜάντζαρου, τη διδακτική του δραστηριότητα, καθώς και τη φήμη του ως μουσικοδιδασκάλου. Στο κεφ. 2παρουσιάζονται πολύ γενικά τα μουσικοθεωρητικά πονήματά του και εξηγούνται τα εργαλεία αρμονικής ανάλυσης πουχρησιμοποιεί, ενώ υπάρχει και μια ενότητα στην οποία εκτίθενται εν συντομία οι ιδιαιτερότητες της ιταλικής μουσικήςεκπαίδευσης (πάνω στην οποία βασίστηκε ο Μάντζαρος περισσότερο απ’ όλες τις ευρωπαϊκές διδακτικές παραδόσεις,χρησιμοποιώντας μεταξύ άλλων το partimento και τη regola dell’ottava) από τα τέλη του 18ου αιώνα μέχρι τα τέλη του19ου. Στα δύο επόμενα κεφάλαια, τα οποία στρέφονται προς τα πρωτογενή τεκμήρια, εξετάζονται λεπτομερώς δύοσημαντικές πηγές: (α) ένας πίνακας μεγάλων διαστάσεων με 116 μουσικά παραδείγματα συγχορδιακών αλληλουχιών(κεφ. 3), και (β) το Studio pratico dell’ Armonia (κεφ. 4).

Identification of molecules able to interfere with the interaction between Aurora-A and N-Myc in Neuroblastoma
Authors: Σουβαλίδου Φανή
Published: January 2023

Το νευροβλάστωμα είναι μια σοβαρή παιδική νόσος που ευθύνεται για το ~ 10% όλων των βρεφικών καρκίνων. Η ενίσχυση του γονιδίου MYCN, που κωδικοποιεί τον μεταγραφικό παράγοντα N-Myc, είναι ένας ουσιαστικός δείκτης που συσχετίζεται με την πρόγνωση και την εξέλιξη. Σε αυτά τα κύτταρα, μια άλλη πρωτεΐνη που εμπλέκεται συχνά και υπερεκφράζεται στον καρκίνο, η μιτωτική κινάση Aurora-A, προσφέρει σταθεροποίηση στο N-Myc με δέσμευση απευθείας στην εξαιρετικά διατηρημένη περιοχή που ονομάζεται Myc Box I. Ως αποτέλεσμα, ο σωστή αποδόμηση του N-Myc δεν γίνεται σωστά, εξηγώντας τα αυξημένα επίπεδα αυτής της ογκοπρωτεΐνης που απαιτούνται για την ανάπτυξη κυττάρων ενισχυμένων με MYCN κυτταρικών σειρών. Κατά τη διάρκεια των ετών, έχει αποδειχθεί ότι ορισμένοι ανταγωνιστικοί αναστολείς της Aurora-A, όπως το CD532 και το Alisertib, που προηγουμένως είχαν σχεδιαστεί για να στοχεύουν τη δραστηριότητα κινάσης της πρωτεΐνης, είναι επίσης ικανά να βλάψουν τον σχηματισμό του ανεπιθύμητου συμπλέγματος Aurora-A/N-Myc στο νευροβλάστωμα. Πράγματι, λόγω ουσιαστικών διαμορφωτικών αλλαγών στη δομή της κινάσης που προκαλούνται από τη δέσμευση αυτών των αναστολέων, έχει παρατηρηθεί in vitro και in vivo ότι το N-Myc δυσκολεύεται να συμμετέχει στο σύμπλοκο. Εδώ παρουσιάζουμε την αναγνώριση των ενώσεων που διαταράσσουν τη διαμόρφωση, ξεκινώντας από μία in silico διαλογή στην PDB μεταξύ όλων των κρυσταλλικών δομών της Aurora-A σε σύμπλοκο με γνωστούς αναστολείς, όπου ως επόμενο βήμα καθένας από αυτούς υπερτέθηκε με εκείνο της κινάσης που είναι δεσμευμένη με το CD532 χρησιμοποιώντας το λογισμικό μοριακής μοντελοποίησης PyMOL. Στη συνέχεια, οι καλύτεροι υποψήφιοι αρχικά δοκιμάστηκαν με μια δοκιμασία δραστικότητας κινάσης για την ανασταλτική τους ικανότητα έναντι της Aurora-A. Μέσα από μία σειρά από δοκιμασίες ανταγωνισμού, που πραγματοποιήθηκαν με μέσα Surface Plasmon Resonance, δείξαμε για πρώτη φορά in vitro ότι παρουσία των προηγουμένως αναγνωρισμένων ενώσεων, το N-Myc δεν είναι ικανό να δεσμευτεί με την Aurora-A. Τελευταία, μέσω virtual screening και docking, αποκτήσαμε καινοφανείς ενώσεις για να ελεγχθούν για τις ίδιες ακριβώς ιδιότητες. Τέλος, εντοπίσαμε πολλές υποσχόμενες ενώσεις που θα μπορούσαν να λειτουργήσουν ως πιθανά αντικαρκινικά φάρμακα που εμποδίζουν την αλληλεπίδραση μεταξύAurora-A και N-Myc στο νευροβλάστωμα.
Modified Pulvertaft orthogonal passing-through suture technique: a preliminary study
Authors: Kim Min Bom , Jung Sung Yoon , Sung Dong Hoon
Published: January 2023

Purpose: If the primary suture is difficult due to the large size of a tendon defect, reconstruction of the defective tendon is attempted through tendon transfer or tendon graft. The Pulvertaft technique is most commonly used, but it increases bulk and friction, and it could cause adhesion formation. In order to overcome these problems, we aimed to introduce a new technique.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 22 patients who underwent tendon reconstruction using the modified Pulvertaft technique due to tendon defects from January 2016 to December 2021. An abbreviated version of the original DASH (Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand) outcome measure (QuickDASH) was measured 3 months after surgery. Until the final follow-up observation, tendon rerupture, infection, tendon-related complications (quadriga effect, motion limitation due to bulky size of the suture site), and contracture were measured. QuickDASH was compared according to the cause of the tendon defect and the type of operation using the Mann-Whitney test.Results: The mean QuickDASH score measured 3 months after surgery was 10.42±7.83. No statistically significant difference in the QuickDASH score was found between patients who underwent tendon transfer and those who underwent tendon grafts (p=0.988). Rerupture occurred in 1 case, and there were no cases of infection, tendon-related complications (quadriga effect, motion limitation due to bulky size of the suture site), or contracture.Conclusion: The orthogonal passing-through suture technique could be a new alternative to the tendon reconstruction technique.
Some Observations on Vārāhī in Bihar and Bengal
Authors: Bautze-Picron Claudine
Published: January 2023

The sheer intensity of the encounter between the Buddhist and Hindu pantheons in ‘Eastern India’ (comprising the Indian states of Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and present Bangladesh) from the 7th to the 12th century, was unmatched in any other region.1 It left, above all, a visual and textual trail in the Buddhist iconography, as attested by the presence of two Mātṛkas (Mothers) among the members of Māra’s army attacking the Buddha on the night of his Awakening, Brahmanical deities being incorporated into the Buddhist world: Vārāhī appears in the Jagdishpur sculpture, and Cāmuṇḍā in a large fragment from a sculpture which must have been as large as the Jagdishpur image and used to stand in Lakhisarai, more fragments of it being preserved in the Indian Museum (Fig. 1).2 Further, the key component of Vārāhī iconography,3 the hog head, became an integral part of the images of Buddhist deities like Mārīcī and Vajravārāhī. The cultural background within which the images of the goddess were incorporated helps to understand this twofold phenomenon, the representation of her being transferred to a Buddhist context and some of her specific features being embedded in the iconography of Buddhist deities.
The Archaeology of Kṛṣṇa at Tiruveḷḷaṟai, a Site for Tamil Poetry in the 7th–9th Centuries
Authors: Schmid Charlotte
Published: January 2023

In many of the oldest known sites of the Pāṇḍya country located not far from the Kāverī River in Tamil Nadu, a dual Hindu obedience, Vaiṣṇava and Śaiva, was developed concomitantly. Alongside these Bhakti deities, others are present in these places of communication with the sacred. As stone figures attached to the site and texts evoking the place are the two means used to give form to their deities, one would expect these two mediums to interact, but it is often difficult to correlate them in the Tamil country of the first millennium. This paper aims at exploring such possible relationships at Tiruveḷḷaṟai, the earliest remains of which date to the 8th c. The site has unique archaeological features, such as a svastika-shaped well and the earliest known depictions of some of Kṛṣṇa’s feats; it inspired hymns of the Tamil Vaiṣṇava devotional corpus, the Divyaprabandham, and offers numerous inscriptions. The link between Śiva, Viṣṇu and local goddesses proves to be as remarkable here as that between texts and archaeology.
Un proyecto permanente de Patrimonio Cultural Audiovisual en la Universidad de Cantabria: “Recuperando Utopías”
Authors: Riego Amézaga Bernardo , García Gutiérrez Nuria
Published: January 2023

“Recuperando Utopías” fue un proyecto que se puso en marcha en la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad de Cantabria en 2012, a la que se sumó posteriormente la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras que comparte edificio universitario y ha consistido en exponer y explicar didácticamente, en una serie de vitrinas temáticas, aparatos y tecnologías usados a lo largo del tiempo para formar al alumnado en diferentes disciplinas educativas e historiográficas. El objetivo, más allá de superar la obsolescencia tecnológica de los diversos aparatos expuestos, ha sido que la narración expositiva muestre un amplio recorrido de propuestas y estrategias educativas que han estado vigentes para dar respuesta a la “utopía” de que con las máquinas se enseña y se aprende mejor; pero, sobre todo, es un modo para que los alumnos actuales y futuros tengan la oportunidad de contemplar de modo coherente y estructurado diversas iniciativas tecnológicas que se han ido dando a lo largo del tiempo, las cuales se describen en el artículo. La metodología de la iniciativa se basó en rescatar, de los desvanes del edificio, aparatos antiguos y obsoletos que se usaron en las aulas en las décadas anteriores con el objeto de establecer un diálogo intergeneracional con los alumnos actuales y venideros sobre la tradición de las TIC en el ámbito educativo. Los resultados han sido una exposición permanente en la zona de aulas del Interfacultativo de la Universidad de Cantabria, que cada año sirve como una experiencia didáctica para las asignaturas que imparten las TIC en la Facultad de Educación. La discusión de los resultados iniciales se inscribe en el marco de los intereses y preocupaciones de la Universidad de Cantabria por la conservación de su patrimonio universitario, también de tipo docente, desde una visión tecnológica de diversos instrumentos que deben ser explicados y puestos en valor y que se suman a la tendencia de las universidades españolas en un campo en interés creciente en estos momentos por los cambios que se están produciendo desde la implosión digital en todos los procesos formativos.
India, santa, americana libertad. La transformación de una salvaje en un símbolo libertario
Authors: Rey Márquez Juan Ricardo
Published: January 2023

A pesar de parecer lo mismo, la alegoría de América y la india de la libertad se diferencian en un aspecto clave: la fiera y joven indígena, usada en la cartografía moderna, se cargó con la energía de los debates políticos del siglo xviii para convertirse en un símbolo libertario. Este libro se ocupa de estudiar dicha transformación, en la que las imágenes complementaron al discurso escrito —a la manera de argumentos visuales— para formar el ideario adecuado para un cambio de era. El autor estudia monedas, grabados, pinturas y otras producciones visuales referidas a América, para establecer el recorrido de una alegoría territorial del siglo xv, surgida como una de las cuatro esquinas del mundo, que desemboca en un símbolo de emancipación política. Esta mirada de historia del arte en clave cultural abre una dimensión interpretativa novedosa sobre la simbología política en la Independencia de Colombia.

Political contestation in Indonesia uses a democratic system in every general election to monitor the people for political candidates by looking at what the community needs. Political parties can undoubtedly participate in implementing the General Election to represent a group along with the objectives of the political program they are carrying. In the election of the Mayor of Magelang, political competition exists between the majority party and non-majority parties. The non-majority party managed to win the mayoral seat in the 2020 election amid high public knowledge of the majority party. Judging from the vote results, the majority party lost severely, with a percentage of almost 21% of the non-majority parties in the city of Magelang. It is a unique phenomenon to be researched to see the political marketing communication strategy for this pair as a candidate from a non-majority party. This study will offer knowledge of political marketing communication strategies, especially for candidates promoted from non-majority parties in winning political contestations. This study aims to describe the political marketing communication strategies used by the PKB Party to get the most votes in the 2020 Magelang mayoral election. A qualitative case study examined the strategy for winning the pair of Dr H. Muchamad Nur Aziz, Sp.PD – Drs KH. . M. Mansyur, M. Ag. (AMAN) in the 2020 Magelang mayoral election by using a political marketing communication strategy. The findings reveal that AMAN couples use the silent strategy to attract public attention to the couple. The AMAN pair uses a pull, pass and push strategy to find potential voters with the same vision and mission as this pair. In addition, word of mouth with the smallest target scope, especially the mother of the family welfare program in each neighborhood, was the primary key to passing the information on the couple's vision and mission.

Published: January 2023

The representation of women in Parliament has always been an exciting study from time to time. As a country with a democratic ideology, Indonesia provides a massive opportunity for women to enter Parliament as mandated by the constitution, which states that women's representation in Parliament is at least 30% of the total number of members of Parliament. This constitutional mandate in the Indonesian landscape is still experiencing challenges and obstacles. Women in their journey still experience much social discrimination, which causes a low level of women's participation in Parliament. One indication is that in one province in Indonesia, namely NTB, the representation of women is only 1.59%. This is considered very low and does not meet the quota of women in Parliament at the provincial level. An anomaly occurred in the representation of women considered a minority put, one of the NTB women winning two legislative elections for the West Nusa Tenggara Province. Hj. Baiq Isvie Rupaeda, SH., MH, is the only woman who can occupy the Chair of the Regional People's Representative Council of West Nusa Tenggara Province. The MD3 Law states that most votes determine the board's chairman. This research was conducted with a descriptive qualitative case study approach. The purpose of this research is to explore the political marketing of Hj. Baiq Isvie Rupaeda, SH., MH, in the election of the NTB Provincial DPRD in the 2019 Legislative election. The findings of this study use a push marketing approach by prioritizing door-to-door visits considering the characteristics of voters who are dominated by the elderly by consolidating them in each village area by offering an expected work program. The push approach dominates the political marketing process by looking at the demographic and geographic approach. With the term opens the door to door, this is HJ. Baiq Isvie Rupaeda won the 2019 legislative election for the third electoral district of West Nusa Tenggara Province.

Published: January 2023

Indonesia has been elected for the first time in the G20 Presidency.  Shortly after being elected to the presidency holder, a big challenge arose which was the re-emergence of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. This situation forced Indonesia to appear as the leader of the world’s major economic countries. In this G20 Presidency, Indonesia has also built an image that is expected to help resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict. This analytical descriptive research aimed to analyze the image of Indonesia in the G20 Presidency on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The approach used was a pragmatic approach, with speech act theory from Austin (1962) and Searle (1969), and image building theory from Lozier (1976). The data collection method chosen was the note-taking method with the data analysis technique was the pragmatic identity method. The data source for this research was an official speech video of President Joko Widodo responding to the Russia-Ukraine conflict which was obtained on the YouTube channel “Sekretariat Presiden”. The data collected were 13 utterances that contained the image of Indonesia on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Based on the results of the analysis, the image of Indonesia through Joko Widodo’s speech was built through illocutionary meaning. The illocutionary meaning produces 8 (eight) images of Indonesia, namely committed, proactive, neutral, humanist, peace-loving, solutive, progressive, and responsible. The image of Indonesia on the Russia-Ukraine conflict was built as a form of the existence of Indonesia which is now the G20 Presidency. This image is principle for Indonesia as the holder of the G20 Presidency to influence the world to build peace.

Content Analysis and Social Issues in Jakarta VS Everybody Film
Authors: Pramesti Gusti Ardia
Published: January 2023

Film also has its own artistic value, because film is created as a work of creative personnel who are professionals in their fields. Film as an art object should be judged artistically rather than rationally. The study of cinema can be said to be a relatively new field of study and is not comparable to the process of technological evolution. Film is often used as a socialization tool or as a medium to construct certain discourses for public consciousness. The development of the film itself is also inseparable from the cultural development of the people behind it. The communication created through the medium of film also only goes one way to the communicant, namely the audience. To convey the mandate of the film, media is needed. Therefore, in the language of the film, there are 3 main underlying factors, namely: Image / Visual, Sound / Audio, Time constraints. Just like in the movie Jakarta vs Everybody finally found his home in Bioskop Online. The poster has indeed been plastered in theaters, but the film, which has been filmed since 2019, has not found an exact release date, so OTT is their last way to show Jefri Nichol's journey as a drug courier. The wait was quite worth it. As Dom, Jefri Nichol shows one's seriousness and persistence to achieve the dream he wants. On that journey, Dom gains many valuable lessons for himself, including through his decision to plunge into the dark world.

To determine the geochemical processes impacting groundwater geochemistry and its appropriateness for drinking and irrigational uses, a thorough examination of groundwater is conducted in some areas of the Afzalpur taluk. According to the results of a thorough chemical analysis, the research area's groundwater has a pH average between 6.7 and 6.3, making it fairly acidic. Mg2+ and Ca2+ cations and HCO3- anions are also present in high amounts. Ion-exchange and rock weathering mechanisms were perceived to dominate the groundwater chemistry, with anthropogenic sources playing a minor role. Particularly, the electrical conductivity, total hardness (TH), and concentrations of Na+ and HCO3- exceeded the BIS and WHO water quality standards' acceptable limits. Groundwater suitability for irrigation was assessed on the basis of sodium adsorption ratio, Na%, magnesium hazard (MH), residual sodium carbonate (RSC), and Kelley's index (KI). Above parameters revealed that nearly 40 to 50 % of the groundwater in the sampling sites was of high-quality for irrigation purpose.
Advances in the Micropropagation and Genetic Transformation of Abelmoschus Esculentus (L.) Moench for Insect Resistance

Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench, known as okra, is a common vegetable crop in many diets and serves as a nutrient-rich source. It has a high content of protein, vitamins, minerals and compounds of high medicinal value. India tops in the consumption of pods and ranks first among the worldwide total production. It is now widely cultivated in many countries. Among the factors that hamper okra's marketable fruit yield, insect pests are the major ones. As numerous pests attack vegetables, controlling insect pests is one of the key elements to improve the yield of this crop. A workable approach for improving okra yield is micropropagation. It has been employed for a variety of things, including as large multiplication, inducing somaclonal variation to improve the desirable agronomic traits, maintaining certain genotypes, and genetic modification utilising molecular techniques. In this review, we highlight the most significant research on the micropropagation of okra, which is mediated by a variety of regeneration responses. The media and growth regulators for each of the approaches discussed, we go through how transformation techniques for insect resistance have been made possible via micropropagation. Utilizing this technology might be a workable plan to add genes and enhance particular features. Studying molecular pathways is another option provided by genetic transformation. This offers benefits for developing breeding programmes and optimising field production especially the effective use of CRISPR in genetically diverse lepidopteran insects opened options to study gene functions, insect modification, and pest management.
Competencias y competentes en materia de salud laboral: acerca de la nulidad del Decreto SISVEL
Authors: García González Guillermo
Published: January 2023

La Sentencia 15/2021 del Tribunal Superior de Justicia de la Comunidad Valenciana (sala contencioso-administrativo), de 12 de enero, declara la nulidad del Decreto 245/2019, de 15 de noviembre, del Consell, de regulación del procedimiento y de la información a proveer a la administración sanitaria en materia de salud laboral (Decreto SISVEL). El posterior recurso que la Generalitat Valenciana presentó ante el Tribunal Supremo frente a esta resolución de nulidad fue inadmitido por el Alto Tribunal, mediante Auto de 25 de mayo de 2022. De este modo, y una vez más, el intento de las comunidades autónomas de ordenar aspectos ligados a la prevención de riesgos laborales en su proyección a la salud laboral colectiva, quedaba anulado por los órganos judiciales como consecuencia de la ausencia de competencia de las entidades autonómicas para regular esta materia…
Estimación económica de una muestra de casos de enfermedad profesional confirmados por el Instituto Nacional de la Seguridad Social atendidos en el Parc de Salut Mar, 2014-2021

La infranotificación de enfermedades profesionales (EEPP) es un problema social y económico, pues repercute en el bienestar del trabajador afectado, y en las estimaciones presupuestarias que se planifican anualmente para la gestión de los servicios sanitarios. Los costes asistenciales fueron evaluados en una muestra de 13 casos de EEPP con resolución positiva por el Instituto Nacional de la Seguridad Social atendidos en el Parc de Salut Mar (Barcelona) entre 2014 y 2021. El coste de la asistencia generada del total de casos fue de 474.859 €, con un coste medio de 36.528 € por paciente. Por grupo diagnóstico, el coste más alto lo originaron los casos de cánceres que supusieron el 79% del gasto total (375.068 €). Los hallazgos del estudio reflejan el impacto económico que supone la asistencia sanitaria prestada por un hospital público a pacientes con una EEPP reconocida en el INSS.
The recovery of training and education post-COVID-19: the importance of supporting the consultant workforce
Authors: Baryeh Kwaku , Bradley Anna , Cotzias Christina
Published: January 2023

Background/aims

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, training and education have been significantly disrupted, causing an incalculable effect on trainees. However, the consultant workforce is crucial to the success of training recovery. The motivation of the consultant workforce to assist in training recovery, in a context of significant workload and increasing pressures on resources, is currently unknown.

Methods

This survey gathered the consultant workforce's views on assisting training recovery at one site of a large NHS foundation trust

Results

There was reduced motivation to engage in training and education when compared to pre-pandemic levels, widespread indicators of burnout, and changes in attitude towards reducing their working hours and early retirement.

conclusions

These findings demonstrate a worrying trend that is likely to be replicated nationwide, which highlights the need to support consultants to avoid further disruption to training recovery.
