It does so by placing the history of the island in the context of the Portuguese expansion in Africa during the early modern era, and studies the folktale in connection to the dissemination of Iberian cultural elements in the region. It pays special attention to the role of confraternities, in the context of which the population of Annobón reinvented and reimagined Iberian culture from an African perspective.
Letters from Sodom: ‘Emotional’ Agency and Evidence of Sexual Crime in the Early Modern Courts of Italy and Spain
Authors: Navarro Martínez Juan Pedro
Published: July 2024

In the judicial system of the Ancien Régime, some crimes were notoriously difficult to prove. It was essential for the prosecution to properly argue the case and, to this end, it was necessary to develop a hierarchical system of evidential means that would allow any hint of suspicion to yield results. The goal of the essay is to carry out a detailed study of the written documents confiscated in judicial proceedings for sodomy in civil courts of the Mediterranean area during the early modern period. The objective is to understand the ‘expressiveness’ that this judicial evidence contributed to the process of signalling criminal practices within the judicial system of Spanish and Italian courts. In addition, by studying love letters between men, missives from their relatives and friends commenting on disagreements, the popular literature consumed by the defendants, certificates and other official documents, and their demands for employment, the essay will shed light on their everyday life and forms of dissidence, with the aim of understanding the particular ‘emotional’ agency of these individuals.
Kurusu Kuatia (Inscribed Cross): Written Culture and Indigenous Memory in the Reductions of Paraguay (Eighteenth Century)
Authors: Neumann Eduardo Santos
Published: July 2024

In the history of the Guaraní reductions, one of the themes that has attracted attention is the indigenous opposition to accepting orders to move after the Treaty of Madrid was signed by the Iberian monarchies in 1750. At this time, there was intense use of writing by the Guaraní, prompting a ‘written reaction’. They wrote several texts, using arguments against the implementation of the exchange of eastern missions with the Colônia do Sacramento. The refusal of the indigenous people to abandon their reductions triggered a conflict known in historiography as the Guaranitic War. At the beginning of March 1756, about a month after the Battle of Caiboaté, in the place where the indigenous militia was defeated by the Iberian armies, some leaders of the Reduction of São Miguel erected a large cross with an inscription written in Guaraní (Kurusu Kuatia). It is an epitaph, in the Guaraní language, reporting episodes from that battle. The text, signed by Miguel Mayra, was only located three years after the events. This type of exposed writing is an indigenous memory of past events, episodes assessed by the rebel population as worthy of collective remembrance.
Protecting and Protesting Notarial Exclamations and Declarations (Peru, Chile, Seventeenth-Eighteenth Centuries)
Authors: Argouse Aude , Albornoz Vásquez María Eugenia
Published: July 2024

The second half of the seventeenth century, and the eighteenth century, were characterized by political tensions between Lima, the seat of government of the Viceroyalty, and the Chilean General Captaincy, which was under its jurisdiction. In this context, a Chilean army captain made a statement before a notary in Madrid contradicting previous statements he had made during a judicial interrogation recorded in Lima two years earlier, in which he criticized the Viceroy of Peru. Considering the declaration made in Madrid, this article analyses a legal concept often recorded in notarial documents, called the exclamación (exclamation), made by men and women in the jurisdictions of Cuzco and Lima (Peru), and Santiago (Chile), during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Exclamations were used by people seeking to protect themselves against future losses or to prevent the misuse of a previous written statement. Thus, they were official notarial deeds with a judicial purpose. Our hypothesis is that these notarial deeds liberated dominated voices. It allows us to delineate several functions of notarial writing, between justice and conscience. We question how truth and memory may or may not emerge from these documents, considering the location and gendering of protection and protest domination. We argue that the time factor is significant and that subalternity is not an inescapable condition.

Published: July 2024

Background: Orbital involvement is the most common complication in rhinosinusitis presenting about 60-75%. The manifestation of orbital complications such as eyelid edema, proptosis, eye movement disorder and loss of vision. The potential risk factors for developing complications are described in several studies.
Purpose: To examine the risk factors for orbital complication in odontogenic rhinosinusitis.
Methods: A retrospective case control study of 34 patients from July 2022 to July 2023 based on medical records. The subjects were classified into two groups, the case group involving odontogenic rhinosinusitis patients with orbital complication and the control group involving patients without orbital complications. Risk factors were sex, onset of odontogenic sinusitis, sinonasal symptoms, diabetes, histopathological findings, laboratory findings and CT scan images of sinus. The characteristics of orbital complications and the types of pathogenic bacteria cultivated were recorded.
Results: There number of patients in each group were 17, with the female to male ratio of 2,4:1, aged 8 to 81 years were enrolled in this study. The most common orbital complication was sub periosteal abscess (41%). We found 64% positive bacterial growth from tissue culture dominated by Staphylococcus sp. (54.5%). Histopathological examination showed the main inflammatory cell of the sinus mucosal epithelium was neutrophil in both groups. The logistic regression test showed that the risk factors for orbital complication were absolute neutrophil count p 0.008, OR 81.062, mucopurulent discharge p 0.009, OR 0.006 and sinus involvement p 0.027, OR 0.152.
Conclusion: Orbital complications were associated with sinus involvement with main symptom involving mucopurulent discharge and higher absolute neutrophil count.

Authors: Pratama Reza Dian , Basyar Edwin , Sudjarwo Aries
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND : Atherosclerosis is associated with hypercholesterolemia and inflammation. Edamame, a high-genistein soybean variant, is believed to have protective effects against atherosclerosis.
AIMS : This study aimed to determine the influence of edamame extract rich in genistein on the eosinophil-lymphocyte ratio (ELR) levels in rats induced with atherosclerosis.
METHOD : This research utilized a true experimental design with a post-test only control group. Thirty male rats were divided into five groups: negative control, positive control, treatment 1 with edamame extract supplementation, treatment 2 with edamame extract rich in genistein supplementation, and treatment 3 receiving atorvastatin. After 28 days, the ELR levels were examined from rat blood. Data were analyzed using One-Way ANOVA - Bonferroni, Kruskal-Wallis – Mann-Whitney, and Pearson correlation tests.
RESULT : There were no significant differences in ELR levels (p>0.05) among all treatment groups compared to the negative and positive control groups. T-tests between the negative control and positive control groups, as well as between the positive control and the three treatment groups successively, showed non-significant results (p: 0.376; 0.856; 0.169; 0.066).
CONCLUSION : The administration of edamame extract rich in genistein did not significantly reduce inflammation levels in blood vessels compared to edamame extract alone, as indicated by non-significant results in the ELR difference analysis.

Published: July 2024

Background. Coronavirus infection disease 19 (COVID-19) is a global health issue. Brixia score and inflammatory markers can assess COVID-19 severity. Severe-critical phase becomes the main concern of clinicians in the management of COVID-19 to reduce mortality. Standard therapy for moderate to severe COVID-19 is convalescent plasma which functions as an antiviral and immunomodulator, while tocilizumab is an IL-6 antagonist which underlies the occurrence of cytokine storms in severe-critical COVID-19.
Aims. To examine the correlation between the Brixia score and clinical laboratory results in patients with severe-critical degree of Covid-19 who received both standard therapy and tocilizumab
Method. A retrospective cohort study of Brixia score, with clinical laboratory results of D-dimer, fibrinogen, ferritin, and CRP (C-reactive protein) COVID-19 patients with severe-critical phase who were administered standard therapy and tocilizumab who were treated at RSUP DR Kariadi Semarang, then a correlation was carried out between the Brixia score and clinical laboratory results using a correlation test Spearman.
Results. The research data consisted of 72 subjects divided into groups that were adiminstered tocilizumab therapy (36 subjects) and standard therapy (36 subjects). There was a significant correlation between the Brixia score and the D-dimer result with p = 0.024 (p <0.05), correlation coefficient = 0.377 in the standard pre-therapy and post therapy. A p-value of less than 0.05 indicates no significant correlation between the Brixia score and clinical laboratory results before or after tocilizumab therapy.
Conclusion. There is a significant correlation between the Brixia score results and the D-dimer results in COVID-19 patients who are adiministered standard therapy, but not significant correlation in tocilizumab

The population's well-being depends not only on the effective development of the dairy industry but also on reducing social tensions. The article aims to analyze the state of milk production by category of farms in Ukraine. The research process applied the methods of comparison, analysis, theoretical generalization, and logical generalization. The dialectical research method became the methodological basis. The article analyzes the dynamics of milk production in all categories of farms and finds out that there was a significant decrease in it due to military operations, the deterioration of the state of cattle feeding, the increase in the cost of raw material production due to the increase in prices for electricity, fuel, and logistics services was established. The main problems of the dairy industry are substantiated by the low level of technological equipment of dairies, outdated equipment, underdevelopment of the market infrastructure, low level of supply of raw materials and capacity utilization, low quality of final products of dairy industry enterprises; limitation of the possibility of broad differentiation of the assortment due to the low quality of raw materials; decrease in demand for processing products due to the low purchasing power of the population of the region, in particular rural areas; high level of competition from powerful enterprises equipped with modern equipment and technologies. In the raw materials market, district-scale enterprises face significant competition from leading enterprises in large cities, which can offer higher purchase prices to agricultural producers. Conditions for increasing the volume of milk production in modern conditions are proposed and substantiated.

Published: July 2024

Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) are a spectrum of disorders characterized by cognitive decline, which pose significant challenges for both affected individuals and their caregivers. Previous literature has focused on patient family surveys which do not always capture the breadth of authentic experiences of the caregiver. Online social media platforms provide a space for individuals to share their experiences and obtain advice toward caring for those with ADRD. This study leverages Reddit, a platform frequented by caregivers seeking advice for caring for a family member with advice for ADRD. To identify the topics of discussion or advice that most caregivers seek and sought after, we employed structured topic modeling techniques such as BERTopic to analyze the content of these posts and use an intertopic distance map to discern the variation in themes across different Reddit categories. In addition, we analyze the sentiment of the Reddit postings using Valence Aware Dictionary and Sentiment Reasoner to deduce the degree of negative, positive, and neutral sentiment of the discussion posts. Our findings reveal that the topics that caregivers most frequently discuss and seek advice for were related to caregiver stories, community support, and concerns ADRD. Specifically, we aimed to reproduce an organic Reddit search of caregiving of abuse on family member, financial struggles, symptoms of hallucinations, and repetition in ADRD family members. These results underscore the importance of online communities for gaining a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted experiences and challenges faced by ADRD caregivers.
An update on Nanomaterial-based biosensing systems for discriminative diagnosis of breast cancer

Published: July 2024

Breast cancer is one of the primary causes of death among women worldwide. Precise diagnosis of breast cancer provides opportunities for early treatment, thereby reducing mortality rate and increasing patient lifespan. Biosensors are diagnostic platforms integrated with different materials for biomarker detection, representing an important tool to detect recurrence and monitor drug effectiveness for breast cancer. Improving the sensitivity and selectivity of biosensor is thus mandatory for the development of point-of-care detection system. Both nanostructured metals and semiconductors are attractive materials in the development of biosensors due to higher surface area, solubility, good electrical conductivity, and appealing optical properties. Nanomaterials are generally used for amplifying the signal, and immobilizing biomolecules and electroactive species. Nanomaterial-based biosensors have enhanced capacity in target identification, which enables disease diagnosis at an earlier stage. This review discusses the diagnosis of breast cancer biomarkers and the recent development of diagnostic systems integrated with nanomaterial-assisted biosensor.
Data-driven prediction of strain fields in auxetic structures and non-contact validation with mechanoluminescence for structural health monitoring

Published: July 2024

Recent advancements in 3D printing technology have significantly enhanced the potential of auxetic structures, which are notable for their negative Poisson’s ratio, particularly in applications such as sensor technology and structural health monitoring. Central to the performance of these structures is the accurate estimation of the effective strain parameter, a critical metric for assessing structural integrity. However, as structural complexity increases, estimating this parameter becomes increasingly challenging. The fabrication and real-world validation of these structures are equally important challenges. This paper introduces two key innovations for the practical application of auxetic structures. First, we present a multi-kernel hierarchical deep neural network that leverages finite element simulation data to accurately predict effective strain fields in complex auxetic configurations. This model architecture not only reduces the number of parameters requiring training but also enhances feature learning and generalization capabilities, achieving over 90% accuracy in predicting strain fields. Second, we validate these predictions using a 3D-printed specimen embedded with mechanoluminescent (ML) particles. This approach enables direct, non-contact visualization of strain in real-time, offering high spatial and temporal resolution. The alignment observed between predicted and observed strain concentration areas demonstrates the efficacy of integrating ML technology into auxetic designs. This integration significantly improves the reliability and diagnostic capabilities of advanced structural systems.
