Authors: Quintana Flavio , Wilson Rory , Gómez-Laich Agustina
Published: January 2025

El desarrollo y utilización de complejos registradores electrónicos de movimiento y comportamiento animal, con múltiples sensores que registran datos a más de 50 Hz, produjo destacados avances en el conocimiento de la ecología de muchas especies de aves marinas. Sin embargo, en Sudamérica, la mayoría de los estudios se enfocan en una primera línea de conocimiento, relacionada casi exclusivamente con el uso del espacio. El mayor grado de desarrollo de este tipo de tecnología y del análisis de los datos derivados, han sido aplicados solo en unas pocas especies y sitios de estudio. Si bien la combinación del uso de sofisticados sensores (i.e., acelerómetros y magnetómetros) y el desarrollo de programas innovadores para el análisis y la visualización de los datos a partir de métricas novedosas han abierto nuevos escenarios de investigación a escala fina de los movimientos y comportamientos, estas herramientas están aún subutilizadas. Este trabajo ofrece una síntesis de la variedad de herramientas tecnológicas, de sus alcances y las métricas disponibles para el estudio de la ecología del movimiento animal. A su vez, presenta una revisión crítica del uso de bio-registradores en aves marinas y reflexiona sobre la necesidad de profundizar en el conocimiento de la ecología de este grupo en la región.

The control of the quality of the water to be consumed by the population is an extremely important activity, the water treatment process presents as a necessary condition for the adequacy of the quality established by the norm, therefore, the control of diseases. The objective of the study is to evaluate and compare the water quality of the distribution network of the Water Supply Systems (SAAs), of the Surveillance Program of the Quality of Water for Human Consumption (VIGIÁGUA) with the data of the Espírito Santo Basic Sanitation Company (CESAN) in the municipalities of Afonso Cláudio, Brejetuba and Ibatiba. The study is a descriptive research, with a quantitative approach that involves an analysis of secondary data on drinking water quality, obtained from the https://www.gov.br and https://www.cesan.com.br sites in the period from 2017 to 2022. For the parameters free residual chlorine, turbidity, total coliforms and Escherichia coli, it is observed that the numbers of samples outside the VIGIÁGUA standard are higher than those of the provider (CESAN) for the free residual chlorine parameter, as for turbidity in a context of comparison, it is found that annually the VIGIÁGUA sampling presented non-standard results in 2022 and that of the provider CESAN are within the standards established in all the years studied. When analyzing the data for the parameter Total coliforms, practically every year there was the presence of total coliforms in the samples taken, but for the E. coli parameter it is possible to see that only in 2022 in the data provided by the provider CESAN was there a presence in the municipalities of Brejetuba and Ibatiba. From the analysis of the data, it is found that there are some non-conformities in the parameters of quality and potability of the water distributed in the municipalities with the legislation. The analysis also favored knowledge about the importance of control and surveillance of water intended for human consumption, however, the lack of investigations that address these actions drew attention.

Authors: Mitchuk Olga , Kharkevych Natalya , Horbenko Andrii , Slotiuk Tetiana , Bondarchuk Anzhelika
Published: January 2025

Introduction: The paper's objective is to study the influence of regional online media on public opinion formation under martial law in Ukraine.  Methods: Methods such as a questionnaire-based survey, online media monitoring, and content analysis were used in the study. Statistical methods of data analysis included the Pearson correlation coefficient. Reliability coefficient Cronbach's alpha enabled verification of tools and methods' reliability.Results: The study revealed that regional online media hold a certain level of trust, with 40% of respondents relying on the information they provide. However, 20% believe the topics do not meet their interests, 30% criticize the lack of unique content, and 40% think the media do not influence their views. Regional media demonstrate the ability to impact social processes: 50% of respondents noted an influence on public opinion, 45% on government perception, 60% on information security, and 70% on language policy. An analysis of war coverage shows that nationwide outlets like Ukrainska Pravda, BBC Ukraine, and Radio Svoboda focus on military actions, humanitarian issues, and political contexts. The correlation coefficient between nationwide and regional media ranges from 0.45 to 0.93, indicating a moderate positive correlation and differences in their war coverage approaches.Conclusions: The study demonstrated the significant influence of regional online media on public opinion formation, but under conditions of war, this role does not prevail over the role of central mass media. Further research should concentrate on studying the factors promoting the efficiency of information delivery by online media.

Published: January 2025

Introduction: Juglans neotropica Diels (walnut), a tree species native to the Andes, has a high commercial and socioeconomic value due to its fine wood, use in the textile industry, food and medicine. Objective: analyze and select the best ranking individuals in the walnut breeding population established at the Polytechnic School of Chimborazo (ESPOCH), in order to establish a seed orchard. Methods: a provenance/progeny trial was evaluated at Tunshi Experimental Station of ESPOCH-Riobamba-Ecuador, which included 540 progenies from 45 families from the Chimborazo, Tungurahua, Bolívar, Pichincha and Imbabura provenances. In a randomized complete block design, normal diameter, total height, commercial height, wood volume and tree quality, including health, were evaluated. The data was analyzed with SELEGEN software to obtain the parameters and the genetic ranking. Results: low genetic differentiation was found among provenances, where individual heritability ranged from 0.09 to 0.18 for normal diameter and commercial volume. Genetic variation among families doubled that of provenances (7 to 14 %); while Tungurahua led the ranking of provenances. The best 20 individuals in the ranking registered an expected genetic gain of 18 % in commercial volume. While the best diameter growth implies a 10 % reduction in the time to reach harvest time. Conclusion: the breeding population registered a wide genetic variability, essential to continue with improvement and conservation actions. Individuals without any phytosanitary problems were identified, suggesting some associated genetic control

Published: January 2025

The Philippines is the center of distribution for cone snails (genus Conus), which are a predatory and venomous group of 500 different species of marine snails. The most well-known species is Conus gloriamaris, the glory-of-the-sea cone; the deadliest is Conus geographus, the geography cone, which has caused several human fatalities in the Philippines and the rest of the Indo-Pacific. Our laboratories have systematically studied the biochemistry, physiology, and pharmacology of venomous cone snails. There is a wealth of pharmacologically active compounds in these venoms. The talk will describe how a basic science investigation of Conus venoms led to the development of promising therapeutic drugs for intractable pain and epilepsy. The unexpected pathway to finding new therapies from deadly venoms demonstrates the importance of basic science in developing novel scientific applications, and the importance of students in original research.
Approaches in Developing Ringspot Virus Resistant Papaya
Authors: Villegas Violeta
Published: January 2025

Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV-P) is a major disease of papaya in the Philippines. PRSV-P infected plants exhibit leaf mottling, reduced lamina, tapering of the stem, oil streaks on petioles, and ringspots on the fruits. Screening available germplasm revealed that resistance is not found within the cultivated Carica papaya species. Three approaches are being utilized to develop PRSV-P resistant papaya. Intraspecific hybridization produced a moderately tolerant variety and identified tolerant genetic stocks. Interspecific hybridization, done by crossing papaya with PRSV-P resistant wild relatives (e.g., C. cauliflora, C. quercifolia, C. pubescens), produced resistant hybrids. However, sterility and hybrid breakdown hamper the backcrossing procedure to transfer the resistance trait to papaya. Genetic engineering is another technique being pursued, and this works on the principle of coat protein-mediated resistance. Coat protein gene from the local virus isolate has been cloned and inserted into Davao solo papaya via microprojectile bombardment. Putative transformants are now regenerating.
International collaboration has played an important role in our efforts to develop PRSV-P resistant papaya. Details of the progress made using intraspecific and interspecific hybridization and genetic engineering are discussed.
Philippine Surgery: The Past 25 Years and Into the New Millennium
Authors: Ona Enrique
Published: January 2025

Philippine surgery has developed in parallel with the advances of surgery in the United States and Europe. It is safe to claim that the last 25 years can be called the "golden years" of Philippine surgery.
The US Exchange Visitor's programs provided the opening for the training of most Filipino surgeons in the US starting in the 1950s, and those who came back became the backbone of Philippine surgery during the last 3-4 decades. With other American-trained medical specialists, they became the nucleus of our modern teachers in all medical schools, the researchers, and the organizers of the privately owned hospitals that we have today. Among these prominent surgeons are Drs. Constantino Manahan, Romeo Gustilo, Ambrosio Tangco, Augusto Sarmiento, Victor Reyes, Enrique Garcia, and many others.
The PES was organized in 1936 with its main objective to uplift surgical care and surgical training in our country. Its membership increased from 1,000 fellows in 1975 to 2,060 fellows in the year 2000 and is now composed of 11 chapters and 16 subspecialty societies.
The Philippine Board of Surgery was established in 1969 by returning American Board-certified surgeons and has become the official examining and certifying body for general surgeons. It has now certified 1,200 general surgeons practicing all over the country.
Open heart surgery for congenital defects and rheumatic heart diseases was first performed in 1959 at PGH and became routine surgery in the 1970s, together with coronary artery surgery, with the establishment of the Philippine Heart Center in 1974. Dr. Avenillo Aventura was its first Director. In 2000, 1,000 coronary bypass operations were performed at 5 Philippine hospitals. The establishment of specialty hospitals (PHC-1974, LCP-1981, NKTI-1983) and the upgrading of several privately owned hospitals saw the burgeoning of various surgical procedures performed that are even today practiced in other developed countries.
Surgery for arterial diseases such as aneurysm and arteriosclerotic obstruction, laparoscopic surgery for biliary tract disease, intraocular lens for cataract, gamma knife for brain tumors, endovascular and endoscopic procedures, transplantation of kidneys, liver, pancreas, and heart, various extirpative surgeries for cancer, and various reparative and rehabilitative operations are performed regularly in the various hospitals in Manila, Cebu, Davao, and other Philippine cities.
Modern surgery, as seen in many developed countries, together with modern diagnostics and imaging modalities (CT Scan, MRI, Gamma Camera, Lithotripsy) are now available to our patients. This has made surgery more precise, safer, less traumatic, and more successful than heretofore possible.
A short discussion on the fast-developing field of virtual reality in surgery will be presented, and the necessary development in healthcare financing that has to be addressed if these surgical advances are to be made available to all Filipinos and not just to a selected few.
Combinatorial Chemistry: Concepts, Strategies and Applications
Authors: Rodriguez Evelyn
Published: January 2025

Combinatorial chemistry started with Merrifield's Nobel Prize-winning invention: the solid-phase synthesis of peptides. By the mid-1980s, solid-phase techniques had been greatly refined, so that it was possible to make huge numbers of peptides simultaneously in the same reaction vessel, using a few steps. Later, strategies and techniques of solution-phase combinatorial synthesis were developed as well. While solid-phase synthesis makes it easier to conduct multi-step reactions and to drive reactions to completion, solution-phase synthesis allows a much wider range of organic reactions.
In its earliest form, the primary objective of combinatorial chemistry was to generate large "libraries" of molecules en masse—instead of synthesizing compounds one by one, as synthetic organic chemistry had been practiced for the last 100 years—and to find the most promising "lead" pharmaceutical compounds by high-throughput screening of the libraries. Although combinatorial chemistry and combinatorial technology have been mostly applied to drug and agrochemical discovery, they can be powerful tools in the diagnostic, downstream processing, catalysis, and new materials sectors.
Facing the Millennium: Substantive and Institutional Challenges to the Human Sciences
Authors: Bautista Ma. Cynthia Rose
Published: January 2025

The paper scans some of the transformations in the social order as a consequence of globalization and technological change. Against this backdrop, it argues that the human sciences hover between, on the one hand, a known world with relatively stable institutions that shape the way people live and think, depending on the interface of their societies with industrial capitalism, and, on the other hand, unfolding social formations that defy the usual codification. The profound societal changes in this millennium pose substantive and institutional challenges to the human sciences. They range from the erosion of theoretical anchors as the classics become less relevant to contemporary questions, to the more mundane issue of survival in the wake of budget cuts for traditional disciplinary and multidisciplinary work. Reflecting primarily on developments in sociology in selected regions of the world, the paper concludes that the growth of the human sciences in the millennium will depend on the way they reinvent themselves in the context of the societies that host them. It is quite likely that the barriers artificially demarcating the human sciences from one another will totally break down, giving way to thematic areas of theorizing and research. The paper ends on a speculative note by playfully imagining scenarios for the human sciences in the Philippines.
Virtual Reality at Virtuous Reality: Mga Papel ng Agham Panlipunan at Pilosopiya sa Ika-Dalawampu't-Isang Siglo
Authors: de Castro Leonardo
Published: January 2025

Iba't-ibang ang maaaring maging karakterisasyon sa kapanahunang dinadaanan natin ngayon. Depende sa perspektibo ng komentaristang pumupuna, ang ating kapanahunan ay madalas mabigyan ng bansag na kumakatawan sa isang uri ng teknolohiyang nangingibabaw at gumagabay sa pag-unlad. Halimbawa, mayroong nagsasabi na tayo ay nasa age of information sapagkat ang teknolohiya ng impormasyon ang nagsisilbing layag para sa landas na tinatahak ng sibilisasyon. Mayroon namang nagsasabi na tayo ay nasa age of biotechnology sapagkat, para sa kanila, ang mga makabagong tuklas at imbensiyon sa larangang ito ang kumakatawan sa direksiyon ng ating pag-unlad. Nagkakaiba ang dalawang ito at ang iba pang karakterisasyon dahil sa kanilang pinagmumulang perspektibo. Gayunpaman, nagkakapareho sila sa palagay na ang takbo ng sibilisasyon ay nakasalalay sa pagtutulak ng dominanteng teknolohiya.

Hindi maipagkakaila ang malaking impluwensiya ng iba't-ibang teknolohiya sa pag-unlad dahil ang mga ito ang nakapagdidikta ng mga pamamaraang nagagamit para matugunan ang mga pangangailangan ng tao—sa pagpapalago ng agrikultura, pagsugpo sa sakit, pagbibigay ng kasiyahan, pagpapahaba ng buhay, at iba pa. Sa harap ng mga pagbabago na ating nararanasan, kinakailangan nating maging mapagmasid at mapanuri at nang mapanatili natin ang pangingibabaw ng tao sa direksiyong ating tinatahak bilang isang lipunan o sibilisasyon.

Oo nga at ang teknolohiya ay umaandar lamang nang dahil sa pagtuklas at imbensiyon ng tao. Subalit, ang mga tuklas at imbensiyon na ito ay tila may kakayahang magkaroon ng sariling lohika kapag napakawalan na sa lipunan. Ang marami sa kanila ay nagkakaroon ng mga katangiang mapang-akit at mahirap tanggihan, kahit nagiging salungat na sa orihinal na pakay ng paglikhang nagbunga sa kanila. Dahil dito, kinakailangang maging matatag ang tao sa kanilang pagmamasid at pagsusuri sa mga makabagong ugnayan, kapangyarihan, at pagpapahalaga na namumuo sa lipunan. Sa ika-dalawampu't-isang siglo, ito ang papel na patuloy na gagampanan ng mga agham panlipunan at pilosopiya. Nasa pagpapaigting ng papel na ito nakasalalay ang pagpapalaganap sa kapanahunan ng tao. Tama—sa kabila ng mabilis na pagbulusok ng siyensiya at teknolohiya, ang kapanahunang kasalukuyan ay kapanahunan ng pagbabalik-loob ng tao.
Inguinal Hernia in Children: A Literature Review
Authors: Feliz Erick , V. Mercedes Martínez Marlenis
Published: January 2025

A hernia is described as the bulging out of the abdominal viscera, often resulting from a weakening of the walls of the abdomen. This condition is diverse and includes femoral hernias, indirect inguinal hernias, and direct hernias. Of these, indirect inguinal hernias, which lie lateral to the inferior epicastric vessels, are the commonest in children as they are due to the patency of processus vaginalis. The incidence is estimated to be 1–3% in full-term neonates and up to 30% in premature infants. In males, the lifetime incidence of inguinal hernia is thought to occur at a rate as high as almost 5%. The diagnosis relies on history and physical examination. The gold approach to inguinal hernia repair is open inguinal hernia repair. Despite this, more and more patients are opting for laparoscopic procedures since they allow for a more thorough examination and treatment of both sides in a single appointment, instant closure of any uncommon hernias or open contralateral patent process vaginalis found during the surgery, and overall less invasiveness. Furthermore, robotic-assisted approach is arising as a new option for inguinal hernia repair in children.
A Tic-ing Time Bomb: Case Report of a Unique Presentation of Sudden-onset Tics
Authors: Neto Arino , Perez Vanessa , Manwaring Kim , Averill Lauren , Wurster Ovalle Victoria
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Tics in children are commonly diagnosed and not usually a cause for concern. Rarely, they may present as a symptom of underlying intracranial pathology. Case Report: We describe an adolescent with sudden-onset tics following a fall who presented to the emergency department and was diagnosed with an arteriovenous malformation with parenchymal hemorrhage. He underwent a successful embolization, after which his tics resolved. Conclusion: When evaluating a patient with tics, an atypical history or abnormal physical exam findings should raise suspicion for possible secondary etiologies, including arteriovenous malformation and stroke.
Analgesia in the Emergency Department for Lower Leg and Knee Injuries: A Case Report
Authors: Shalaby Michael , Lee Yonghoon , McShannic Joseph , Rosselli Michael
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Lower extremity injuries are commonly evaluated and treated in the emergency department (ED). Pain management for these injuries often consists of acetaminophen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, and opioids. Despite this treatment regimen, adequate analgesia is not always achieved. Case Report: A 38-year-old man presented to the ED with a non-displaced tibia-fibula fracture. The patient did not attain analgesia with intravenous medications but did get complete anesthesia of his lower leg with a combination saphenous and popliteal sciatic nerve block. Conclusion: Emergency physicians possess the skill set required to effectively perform a saphenous and popliteal sciatic nerve block and should consider adding this procedure to their armamentarium of pain management techniques in treating injuries distal to the knee.
Keutamaan Ilmu dalam Perspektif Islam: Transformasi Spiritualitas dan Kontribusi Sosial bagi Kaum Muslim dalam Kitab Mahfudzot Fadhoilul Iman
Authors: Mardiyah Faizah , Rofiq Sofa Ainur
Published: January 2025

This study aims to examine the virtues of knowledge from an Islamic perspective as taught in the book Mahfudzot Fadhoilul Iman and to explore its relevance in shaping the spiritual transformation of individual Muslims and their social contributions in the modern era. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing a literature review method to analyze the key principles outlined in the book.The findings reveal that the book Mahfudzot Fadhoilul Iman emphasizes knowledge as the foundation of faith, guiding humanity toward divine truth. Values such as al-ilmu nurun (knowledge is light) and thalabul ilmi faridhatun (seeking knowledge is an obligation) highlight the importance of knowledge as a spiritual means of drawing closer to Allah. Additionally, the principle khairun naasi anfa'uhum linnaas (the best of people are those who are most beneficial to others) underscores the significant social dimension of knowledge in building a prosperous and harmonious society.This study also finds that the values in Fadhoilul Iman remain relevant to contemporary challenges, such as developing education based on Islamic values and applying ethical knowledge in professional fields. By recontextualizing the teachings of this book, Muslims can utilize knowledge as an instrument to strengthen their faith while contributing meaningfully to the well-being of humanity.
