Análisis tafonómicos de restos óseos humanos contemporáneos en contexto de cementerios (Córdoba, Argentina): Aportes aplicados a la antropología forense
Authors: Benedetti Florencia , Tavarone Aldana , González Claudina
Published: August 2023

The aim of this paper is to analyze the taphonomic processes and agents involved in the preservation and/or degradation of skeletal remains buried in contemporary cemetery contexts in the mountainous region of the province of Córdoba. To this end, 13 individuals from the Salsipuedes municipal cemetery were analyzed, recording taphonomic alterations such as floriturbation, fauniturbation, fractures, weathering, chemical precipitation and anthropic marks, among others, with particular emphasis on taphonomic indicators of burial contexts in cemeteries. The results show a high incidence of variables related to the wear produced by the coffins and stains and bone staining, as well as postmortem fractures and root marks, all indicators present in burial contexts. In general, the sample presents a good degree of preservation, however, in the adult individuals there was a preservation between regular and poor, while the subadult individuals present less presence of taphonomic variables. This difference is possibly related to differential burials between adults and children.

Authors: Jayte Mohamed , Abdi Awil
Published: August 2023

Objective: in this report, we describe a case of myxedema coma in a 46-year-old Ugandan lady who had never before had hypothyroidism.Investigations and medical care: The patient's first presentation included bradycardia, hypothermia, and a noticeably low Glasgow Coma Scale score. Laboratory examinations revealed severe primary hypothyroidism. Intravenous levothyroxine, hydrocortisone, and supportive care were the first steps in the treatment.Results: After receiving therapy for one week, the patient achieved a full recovery. Thyroid function tests showed improvement back to normal range.Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of considering myxedema coma in the differential diagnosis of altered mental status, even in resource-limited settings. Increased awareness, prompt diagnosis, and appropriate treatment can be life-saving in these cases.
Race effects on impression formation in social interaction: An instrumental learning account
Authors: Traast Iris J. , Schultner David , Doosje Bertjan , Amodio David
Published: August 2023

How does race influence the impressions we form through direct interaction? In two preregistered experi- ments (N = 239/179), White American participants played a money-sharing game with Black and White players, based on a probabilistic reward reinforcement learning task, in which they chose to interact with players and received feedback on whether a player shared. We found that participants formed stronger reward preferences for White relative to Black players despite equivalent reward feedback between groups—a pat- tern that was stronger among participants with low internal motivation to respond without prejudice and high explicit prejudice. This race effect in reward learning was evident in participants’ behavioral choice prefer- ences, but not in their self-reported perceptions of group members’ reward rates. Computational modeling suggested two mechanisms through which race affected instrumental learning: race (a) influenced White par- ticipants’ initial expectancies (i.e., priors) about Black compared with White players’ behavior and (b) led participants to update reward representations of Black and White players according to separate learning rates. These findings demonstrate that race can influence the formation of impressions through direct social inter- action and introduce an instrumental learning framework to understand the effects of bias in intergroup interactions.
Machine Learning and the Reproduction of Inequality
Authors: Alegria Sharla , Yeh Catherine
Published: August 2023

This piece draws on examples of popular applications, including ChatGPT to explain the basic logic of Machine Learning (ML) for a broad sociological audience and show how these increasingly pervasive tools reproduce race and gender inequalities through seemingly objective data-driven methods. We identify four key ways ML tools can reproduce existing race and gender inequalities: 1) bias in the underlying data, 2) spurious or misaligned data use, 3) algorithms optimized to mirror social processes, 4) targeting vulnerable communities. We demonstrate the first of these four ways, showing how ML can reproduce inequalities in underlying data with an extended example using ChatGPT.
Influence of Alcohol Advertising on Alcohol Consumption among School Students
Authors: Sharma Bhagawoti , Devkota Bhimsen
Published: August 2023

Alcohol advertising refers to the advertising of alcoholic beverages by alcohol manufacturers through various media. Exposure to alcohol advertising is the most important leading factor related to alcohol consumption among adolescents and youth. This study is focused on influences of alcohol advertising on alcohol consumption among school students. This study was based on online cross-sectional survey design. All of the secondary school students studying at the schools of Banke district were the population of the study. The researcher included the total 156 secondary school students as a study population by using a multistage sampling method. The data were collected from July 12, 2021 to July 29, 2021 through Google from. The collected data were analyzed by using SPSS version 20, including frequency, percentage, median, mode and chi-square test. This study found that 88.6 percent of the respondents had seen alcohol advertising. Likewise, 31.4 percent of the respondents agreed and 32.7 percent of the respondents disagreed that they pay attention to alcohol advertising on social media. Similarly 85.9 percent of the respondents reported that alcohol advertising increases the number of drunks. Furthermore one fifth of the respondents indicated that alcohol advertising attracts them to taste alcohol. Lastly, this research revealed that there is a weak positive association between respondents who see alcohol advertising and attract them to taste alcohol. It is learned that alcohol advertising influences the purchasing and drinking behaviour of school students. School age is not a legal age for purchasing and drinking alcohol so it is necessary to conduct awareness programs through formal and informal institutions.
Standardization of the Tharu Language: A Critical Analysis
Authors: Tharu Raj Kumar
Published: August 2023

This research paper highlights the importance and rationale of standardization in the Tharu language spoken in Nepal. It has some variants throughout Nepal and is being used on the individual styles of accent and pronunciation. These individual styles of speaking and writing the language have created some confusion and occasional linguistic disputes. This research project aims at mitigating such linguistic controversy. The native speakers of the Tharu language are found to have been pronouncing cerebral and dental sounds haphazardly. It happens so because the language hasn't been authentically standardized so far although it has had lots of literary activities with quite a good folk literature too. The Tharu language is the fourth largest language of Nepal. It’s the major language of southern Nepal from the east to the west but it doesn't have any authentic linguistic guidelines. Being centred on these points, the paper advocates for the standardization of the Tharu language with the authorized publication of grammar books, dictionaries, etc. Views of various authors regarding the standardization of language have been presented in this paper that has adopted the qualitative research method. The analysis and discussion have been made primarily based on the secondary sources of data with the conclusion that the Tharu language is in dire need to be standardized for its spread and quality as well.

F-WAVE RECORDED FROM PROXIMAL AND DISTAL MUSCLES INNERVED BY THE SAME NERVE IN THE UPPER AND LOWER EXTREMITIES: COULD IT BE A NEW METHOD
Authors: ÜNLÜTÜRK Zeynep
Published: August 2023

Purpose

The F- wave is a valuable measurement that provides information about both the proximal and distal parts of the nerve. Classical F-wave recording methods are performed from the distal muscles of the limb and so are affected from distal pathologies. Nerve conduction velocity of a nerve is affected by the diameter of the nerve. The diameter of a nerve gets thinner as it gives branches and travels distally. So it is expected that the nerve conduction velocity of a nerve is faster in proximal segment of the nerve than the distal part even they are the parts of the same nerve. The aim of this study is to compare the nerve conduction parameters of F waves recorded in proximal and distal muscles innervated by the same nerve. Which will provide additional information and may be valuable in detecting proximal pathologies accompanying background pathologies affecting the distal nerve

Materials and Methods

Twenty –six healthy volunteers who have normal routine nerve conduction studies are included in this study. The latencies of ulnar and peroneal F-waves of all participants were recorded from the proximal and distal muscles innervated by the same nerve.

Results

F-wave latencies recorded from proximal muscles were significantly later than the ones recorded from distal muscles.

Conclusion

Although the distances travelled by stimulation are shorter in F latencies recorded from proximal muscles , and the segment /branch of the nerve is expected to be thicker and faster however the latencies recorded from proximal muscles were longer than the ones recorded from distal muscles . This may be due to the distance of the recording electrodes effected by subcutaneous tissues in the proximal large mass muscles. One reason for this difference may be that the proximal relatively large mass muscles have higher desynchronization and temporal dispersions.

The American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC) Competency-Based Veterinary Education (CBVE) Model was developed with consideration of the lessons learned over the past 20 years by other health care professions regarding the implementation of outcomes-based education. As veterinary education programs consider the benefits of outcomes-based training, and more programs begin adopting this model of education, it is more critical than ever to ensure fidelity of the model for successful implementation. Fidelity, or the accuracy with which something is reproduced, was identified as an important factor in successfully implementing competency-based training in medical education (CBME). Without fidelity of the core components of CBME as defined in the medical education literature, programs were challenged to evaluate the effectiveness of the new educational model, and in some cases, this led to premature notions of failure when all components of CBME had not been successfully implemented. Consistency in terminology related to competency-based education is critical for successful implementation of the CBVE Model. The terminology used in higher education, and in other disciplines, describes concepts that are underpinned by research, just as they are in competency-based education. Without shared understanding and accurate use of terminology to describe the tools and strategies used in CBVE, there is a considerable risk of failure or even perceived failure in transitioning to CBVE. The authors of this commentary, the AAVMC Council on Outcomes-based Veterinary Education, continue to encourage veterinary programs across the world to recognize the value of the AAVMC CBVE Model in transforming veterinary education. Through use of shared terminology and consistent application of the components of the model, we envision the expansion of CBVE as an opportunity to advance veterinary education and to promote new graduate success in the veterinary profession.
Clinical Year Veterinary Students’ Expectations of New Graduate Independence Exceed Their Self-Perceived Competence and Expectations of Community Practitioners
Authors: Nichelason Amy , Bollig Nathan , Anderson Margene , Schmidt Peggy
Published: August 2023

Veterinary medicine is unique in that graduating veterinarians can be licensed to practice independently at the time of graduation. A veterinary curriculum needs to not only prepare graduate veterinarians to meet the expectations of their professional community but also ensure those veterinarians have an accurate perception of expected job requirements. This paper evaluates and compares veterinary students’ perceived expectations of graduate-level independence with their self-perceived competence over their clinical (fourth) year. Additionally, we compare these findings to practitioner expectations of graduate-level independence. A survey assessing nine technical and three non-technical categories was distributed to clinical year students at the beginning and end of their clinical year at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine (UW-SVM). These results were compared to previously obtained survey data from community practitioner members of the Wisconsin Veterinary Medical Association (WVMA). Results indicate an improvement in student self-perceived competence in technical tasks over the clinical year, with the final measures of self-perceived competence aligning with community practitioner expectations of graduate-level independence. However, our results demonstrate a significant difference between student expectations of graduate-level independence, their self-perceived competence, and the community practitioner expectations of graduate independence. These results indicate that veterinary students have unrealistic expectations of their expected independence at graduation and that their self-perceived competence cannot meet these perceived expectations of independence. This misalignment and perceived self-deficit could perpetuate stress and burnout. Further investigation into the cause of this misalignment may help inform educational interventions that encourage students to set realistic expectations.

Authors: Hardefeldt Laura Y. , Browning Glenn F. , Weese J. Scott , Bailey Kirsten E.
Published: August 2023

The European Society for Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) developed consensus-based generic competencies in antimicrobial prescribing and stewardship. These may be useful in structuring and evaluating antimicrobial prescribing education to veterinary students, but their applicability has not been evaluated. We aimed to evaluate whether the ESCMID competencies are currently taught and how relevant they are to veterinary prescribing in veterinary schools globally. A multi-center, cross-sectional survey was performed by administering an online questionnaire to academics teaching antimicrobial prescribing to veterinary students. Targeted recruitment was undertaken to ensure the representation of diverse geographical locations. Responses (48) were received from veterinary schools in Europe (26), North America (7), Asia (6), Australia (3), Central and South America (3), and Africa (3). Of the 37 ESCMID prescribing competencies, only 6 were considered only “slightly” or “not at all” relevant by more than 10% of respondents. Of the 37 competencies, 25 of the competencies were taught in more than 90% of schools and another 6 were taught in 80%–89% of schools. Time spent teaching was “too little” or “far too little” for five competencies according to more than 50% of the respondents. Additional competencies to address extra-label drug use; the use of compounded antimicrobials; the use of antimicrobials for metaphylaxis, prophylaxis, and growth promotion; and the importance rating of antimicrobials were suggested. The ESCMID antimicrobial prescribing competencies had broad relevance and were widely covered in the veterinary curriculum globally.

Published: August 2023

Numerous demands on the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine training program have the potential to reduce the amount of time allocated to food animal species in general, including swine medicine, despite it being a key component of veterinary education. The objective of this study was to describe swine medicine training opportunities at North American and Caribbean veterinary education institutions. A 21-question survey was developed and distributed to veterinary colleges across North America and the Caribbean. The survey was available from October 2021 to March 2022, and one response was accepted per institution. Seventy-four percent of contacted institutions completed the survey, representing 29 veterinary colleges located in the United States, Canada, or the Caribbean. Responses were aggregated, analyzed, and grouped by topic: institution opportunities, curriculum opportunities, clinical opportunities, and faculty involvement in the swine medicine curricula. There was substantial variation among institutions in the delivery and resources allocated to swine medicine specific curricula. Swine veterinarians help ensure the health and well-being of animals and food safety. More research is required to evaluate the outcomes of the currently available opportunities. Concurrently, veterinary education institutions should prevent the attrition of swine educational programs by investing in the support and development of swine opportunities for students.

Yellow pumpkin is rich in vitamin A, carotene, and other essential nutrients, and has good durability. Apart from being a food and vegetable, pumpkin can be processed into semi-finished flour which becomes a processed product. This study aims to examine the effect of sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) concentration on the physical and chemical properties of modified pumpkin starch (Modified cucurbita moschata starch). This study used an experimental method in the laboratory with a completely randomized design (CRD). The concentrations of STPP used in the treatments were 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.7%, and 0.9% of the weight of pumpkin starch. Each treatment was repeated 3 times, totaling 15 experimental units. Parameters observed included solubility, swelling power, moisture content, and starch content. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (Anova) with a real level of 5% and Least Significance Different (LSD) further test. The results showed that STPP concentration had no significant effect on solubility and swelling power, but had a significant effect on the moisture content and starch content. The higher the STPP concentration, the higher the water content and the lower the starch content. The 0.9% STPP concentration had the highest moisture content (15.54%) and the 0.3% STPP concentration had the highest starch content (92.63%).  In order to be more complex, further research is carried out to test the parameters of phosphate content, ash content, amylose content, amylopectin content, color, PH, viscosity, anthocyanins, crude fiber, gelatinization, syneresis, antioxidants, polyphenols, reducing sugar, water holding capacity and oil holding capacity.

Climate change is a problem that requires a variety of responses from individuals and institutions. Each entity can influence climate change policy and action, but as a complex matter, it is not surprising that there are deficiencies in climate change policy. This challenge highlights the need better to understand the selection of climate change adaptation programs. Therefore, this study aims to analyze how the collective action of various Makassar City Government institutions in the climate change adaptation program. This study uses a qualitative exploratory approach, with data collection through interviews and document review. The results of this study indicate that the collective action of the Makassar City Government can be assessed at the Climate Change Adaptation Working Group (Pokja-API), which consists of six institutions. It is just that the coordination between institutions that are members of the Working Group there is still a missing link between the programs that are the priorities of each institution.

Tidak hanya pada anak normal saja, anak berkebutuhan khusus (ABK) juga mempunyai hak yang sama untuk mendapatkan pendidikan yang layak sehingga mereka juga memiliki kemampuan yang sama dengan anak-anak lainnya. Hak anak berkebutuhan khusus (ABK) untuk mendapatkan pendidikan tertuang dalam Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 20 Tahun 2003 tentang Sistem Pendidikan Nasional (UU Sisdiknas). Salah satu tujuan dari pendidikan adalah mengembangkan potensi peserta didik dan memiliki keterampilan yang dibutuhkan oleh anak berkebutuhan khusus berguna untuk kemandirian dan mampu berdaya secara ekonomi. Salah satu keterampilan yang dapat diberikan kepada anak berkebutuhan khusus adalah pelatihan pengelesan. Namun, kurangnya jumlah guru dan kurangnya pengetahuan guru terkait ilmu pengelasan sehingga pemberian ilmu dan praktek langsung tentang keterampilan pengelasan kepada siswa menjadi kurang maksimal diterima oleh siswa mereka. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pemberian pelatihan keterampilan pengelasan untuk mempraktekkan cara pengelasan pada anak berkebutuhan khusus di SLB Negeri Pembina Pekanbaru, khususnya anak dengan hambatan pendengaran (Tuna Rungu).

In Buchenwäldern ist der Verbiss durch wildlebende Huftiere oft weniger auffällig als in Gebirgswäldern. Dennoch kann der Verbiss auch dort zu Zuwachsverlusten und mehrjährigen Verzögerungen bei der Reaktion nach Verbiss führen und damit Auswirkungen auf die Artenvielfalt in der Baumverjüngung haben.

The article covers the issue of the external activities undertaken by the EU in the defence and security domain. Referendum that took place on June 23rd 2016, that had a decisive impact on the Brexit event, made the EU readdress the issue of redefining the issue pertaining to the common defence and security policy, which also translates into further integration of the defence domain. The external actions undertaken by the EU and confirmation of its role as a global international actor are taking place within the framework of rules and goals pertaining to the common foreign and security policy, founded upon mutual development of solidarity policy among the Member States. The Council of Ministers, on December 11th 2017, in line with the regulations of the Treaty of Lisbon (articles 42, 6 and 46), made a decision to bring the PESCO (Permanent Structured Cooperation) to life. 25 EU member states (excluding the UK, Denmark and Malta) decided to join the Permanent Structured Cooperation scheme. Despite the attempt to create a European show of force in the defence and security domain, with Europe being fully responsible for its security, it shall be noted that this is just the beginning, and there is a lot still to be done in this area. Furthermore, despite the deepened collaboration among the member states, it shall not be forgotten that the national security still remains “the sole responsibility of each Member State”.

Although pollution has been recently identified as a priority for elasmobranch conservation, metal contamination assessments in sharks and rays are still scarce, especially in southeastern Brazil. In this regard, rubidium (Rb) is a biomagnifying non-essential element determined in only two elasmobranch assessments to date. Therefore, the aim of this study was to obtain baseline Rb data and discuss the implications of Rb concentrations in the muscle and liver of the vulnerable Caribbean Sharpnose shark Rhizoprionodon porosus from Southeastern Brazil. Samples from 18 juvenile specimens were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry following acid decomposition. When grouping males and females, muscle concentrations (1.117 ± 0.269 mg kg-1 w.w.) were significantly higher than liver (0.677 ± 0.146 mg kg-1 w.w.), indicating probable Rb bioaccumulation. Significant differences were observed between male and female liver and muscle Rb concentrations, both higher in muscle. Females also presented significantly higher liver concentrations. A negative correlation was observed between total length and liver Rb when grouping males and females, which may indicate the contaminant dilution effect, while a positive correlation was noted between total length and muscle Rb for males, indicating bioaccumulation processes. Significant ecological concerns regarding Rb contamination for this group are, therefore, noted, requiring further investigations.Keywords: Chondrichthyes, toxic elements, bioaccumulation, environmental pollution, Elasmobranchii.

There are many challenges hinder the digital inclusion of people over 60. It is understood that the logic of inventions is to contribute to society. However, over the years, as technological evolution becomes necessary and develops rapidly, some generations, among them older people, need help keeping up with or adapting to them. Through exploratory research with a qualitative approach, where bibliographical research and the application of a questionnaire were used, we selected older adults of both sexes, in which we sought to analyze the appropriation and use of ICTs by older adults affiliated with the Cooperative Cresol União dos Pinhais, located in Coronel Vivida, a city in the mesoregion of Southwest Paraná, describing their main challenges facing digital inclusion. In general, the interviewees demonstrated the appropriation of ICTs, even with some difficulty and technical and skill challenges. However, they are aware of the importance of improving the use of the tools for their cognitive development and other potentialities related to decision-making in their rural property.
