Authors: Rafiee Mohammad , Parsaei Farahnaz , Rahimi Pordanjani Sajjad , Amiri Vahid , Sabour Siamak
Published: November 2020

Background: The recent outbreak by a novel coronavirus originated from Wuhan, China in 2019, and is progressively spreading to other countries. Timely diagnosis of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) improves the survival of the patients and also prevents the transmission of the infection. In this study, we reviewed the applicable and available methods for the diagnosis of COVID-19. Methods: For the review, we systematically searched Web of Science, PubMed, and Iranian articles that were published about COVID-19 diagnostic methods with a combination of the key terms: laboratory, radiological, tests, coronavirus. Results: Although the current gold standard diagnostic test for this virus is real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the occasional false-negative and the low sensitivity of the test should not be underestimated. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan is another diagnostic test for COVID-19, with higher sensitivity but low specificity. A combination of sensitive RT-PCR with a chest CT scan together with the clinical features are highly recommended for the proper diagnosis. Notably, there are some other sensitive and low-cost tests for evaluation of COVID-19 infection, but their validation should be approved. Conclusion: Since early and accurate diagnosis of the viral disease could improve the survival rate of the patients, and halt the transmission chain, it is not surprising that tremendous attempts should be made to reduce the limitations of the tests leading to the false-negative results and to find a rapid test for the diagnosis of COVID-19.

Published: November 2020

Background: In Iran, zoonotic and anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) are caused by Leishmania major and L. tropica respectively. Despite extensive studies, no effective therapies have ever been reported for CL. The main objective of this research was to determine and compare the three different protocols for treatment of CL patients referring to Skin Diseases and Leishmaniasis Research Center (SDLRC), affiliated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran from September 2017 to October 2018. Methods: In a randomized controlled parallel groups clinical trial, 150 selected CL patients who met our inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to one of the three therapy groups: A, intra-lesional glucantime plus 50% trichloroacetic acid (TCA), B, intralesional glucantime and C, systemic glucantime. All patients in the three groups received the complete course of treatment and were followed for 6 months. To identify the etiologic agents, smears from their lesions were prepared and PCR-RFLP was used after parasite culture. Also, clinical characteristics, history of previous involvement, endemic emigration and demographic data were collected. Results: The results showed that the mean value of healing period was 53.12 ± 25.88 (median: 45, IQR: Q1 = 30-Q3 = 77) days in group A, 57.22 ± 44.02 (median: 42.5, IQR: Q1 = 30-Q3 = 60) days in group B, and 73.56 ± 41.08 (median: 71, IQR: Q1 = 45-Q3 = 90) days in group C; the observed differences were statistically significant (P=0.024). There was a significant difference between group A and group C (P = 0.049), and between group B and group C (P = 0.047) in terms of mean healing period. Finally, complete recovery rates of 80%, 62% and 42% were shown in the three medicinal groups of A, B and C, respectively (P = 0.022). Conclusion: In this study, the average duration of lesion healing among the three groups was the shortest in patients with IL glucantime plus 50% TCA treatment regimen. Also, the use of 50% TCA in patients suffering from CL was associated with a significant improvement in the depth of scars, the time and the percentage of recovery, and the low cost of this agent in the treatment of CL.
Lógos como condena y como liberación para el hombre en los escritos de Cioran
Authors: Lescano Eliana Verónica
Published: November 2020

Al igual que Heráclito, Cioran concibe al hombre como un ser que posee lógos y que se rige en su vida por él en sus múltiples aspectos. El hombre no solo se sirve de la palabra, sino que, que ésta lo conforma y lo atraviesa por completo. La palabra es la expresión necesaria e intrínseca de todo ser humano y como consecuencia de ello no le será posible eludirla.

En muchos de sus trabajos Cioran nos advierte acerca de los peligros que el lógos tiene para el hombre: no encontrar en medio de tantas palabras la genuina expresión, caer en ficciones totalizadoras que nos lleven al engaño y el adoctrinamiento. Por tal razón, en medio de este infortunio, llega incluso a considerar como única salida posible acudir al silencio.

No obstante, si el hombre niega esta marca del lenguaje rehuyendo a toda forma de expresión, la angustia que supone su propia existencia lo terminará destruyendo.

Paradójicamente Cioran encuentra que la expresión del lógos es la única salvación posible para hombre de las garras de la muerte y que expresar por medio del lógos la propia desdicha se convierte en condición necesaria para la vida.

Authors: Ferreira da Silva Camila , Acácia da Silva Sampaio Cecília , Da Cunha Thiago Felippe Paranatinga
Published: November 2020

O presente artigo ocupa-se das avaliações educacionais externas de larga escala e seus efeitos no cotidiano escolar. O cenário material no qual nosso estudo se situa diz respeito às transformações que marcaram as últimas três décadas no cenário educativo brasileiro responsáveis pela mudança na tônica da avaliação da aprendizagem no interior das escolas em direção à onipresença das avaliações externas – com especial atenção aos movimentos de constituição de um macrossistema nacional de avaliação da educação e da multiplicação de outros sistemas locais. Com o objetivo de refletir sobre as implicações das avaliações de larga escala para os educandos, ocupamo-nos dos sistemas avaliativos estadual e municipal do estado do Amazonas e de sua capital: trata-se do Sistema de Avaliação do Desempenho Educacional do Amazonas (SADEAM) e da Avaliação do Desempenho do Estudante (ADE). A partir de um estudo de caso de uma escola estadual localizada na Zona Oeste de Manaus, com base nos resultados alcançados no SADEAM (2011-2015), foi possível compreender a relação existente entre a realização das avaliações de larga escala e o processo de ensino- aprendizagem das crianças nas escolas manauaras.

As infecções que atingem a parte superior do aparelho respiratório de felinos são cada vez mais comuns, dentre elas está o complexo respiratório felino que é formado por três tipos de agentes etiológicos, sendo 2 virais onde teremos o Herpes vírus felino tipo 1 e o Calicivírus. E um agente bacteriano a Chlamydophilafelis.Objetivou-se com este trabalho realizar um levantamento sobre a incidência do complexo respiratório felino nos animais atendidos na Clínica Médica de Pequenos Animais do Hospital Veterinário da UFCG, no ano de 2014 e 2015, através da análise das fichas clínicas. Verificou-se o perfil epidemiológico das infecções no tocante a predileção racial, faixa etária e sexo. Foram diagnosticados em 2014, 44 animais com CRF, com relação ao sexo foram 23/44 (52,27%) de machos e fêmeas 21/44 (47,72%), entre a faixa etária animais de 1 a 6 meses, verificou-se 25/44 animais (56,81%), de 6 meses a 1 ano, 8/44 animais (18,18%) e acima de 1 ano de idade 25/44 animais (25%). Em 2015 foram 46 animais, 18/46 machos (39,13%) e 28/46 (60,86%) fêmeas. Com relação a faixa etária os resultados foram 25/46 (54,34%) para animais de até 6 meses, 7/46 (15,21%) de 6 a 1 ano e 14/46 (54,34%) nos animais acima de 1 ano. Com base nos dados obtidos foi indicado que há maior predisposição por animais mais jovens e em relação a raça nos 2 anos vistos todos os animais foram SRD. Conclui-se, portanto, que através dos resultados encontrados deve ser feita uma profilaxia adequada entre 8 e 12 semanas, período em que os animais estão mais susceptíveis a adquirir o complexo respiratório.
Institución Educativa Santa Teresa de Jesús. Un prestigio educativo de 75 años
Authors: Pulido Muñoz Nelson Germán
Published: November 2020

El Colegio Santa Teresa de Jesús es un baluarte de la educación en el departamento del Tolima. La comunidad de esta región considera que la entidad académica, sus valores y principios institucionales generan la confianza necesaria para que las adolescentes se formen integralmente en sus aulas. “Colegio Departamental para Señoritas”, fue el primer nombre de la Institución, que inició labores académicas en febrero de 1945, bajo la rectoría de la señora Clemencia Tobar de González. Durante cinco años estuvo dirigido por laicos. Fue monseñor Arturo Duque Villegas quien le sugirió al gobernador Octavio Laserna que en aras de fortalecer la moral y los valores cristianos, deberían asumir la Dirección del Colegio las Hijas de María Auxiliadora, hecho que se concretó en 1951, adquiriendo un nuevo nombre: “Colegio Departamental Santa Teresa de Jesús”, según Decreto Número 01704 de noviembre de 1986.

Published: November 2020

Due to the natural limitations faced by the old system of keeping, planning and managing the distribution of electricity, a computerized system is developed for Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), on Ashamu Layout of Kosobo Area, Oyo State, Nigeria. Data was acquired using south total station (NTS) and the data was downloaded using NTS.comp and project boundary was plotted with AutoCAD civil 3D, 1m Ikonos resolution satellite imagery was downloaded and geo-referenced with Arcgis10.1. Spatial features such as roads and buildings were vectorized. Electricity distribution and management was designed and created using relational database management system (rdbms) approach. The raster image was added as layer to ArcGIS 10.1 environments for geo-referencing and vectorization. The roads, buildings, electric poles were vectorized and a south total station was used to acquire co-ordinates of the electric poles and transformers to their position on the imagery, creating spatial database for the study area. The developed system was tested by carrying out spatial analysis and spatial search using ArcGIS 10.1. The results obtained were displayed in graphics and tables. It was established from the result that Geographic Information System (GIS) has the capacity as an effective tool for management of electricity distribution system.
Osseointegration of Cylindrical Zirconia–Alumina Functionally Graded materials, Dental implant by Electrophoretic Deposition
Authors: Salman Awham , Al-Ghaban Nada , Eesa Mohammed , Atiyah Alaa , Farid Saad
Published: November 2020

Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique is used to prepare zirconia–alumina composite layers based on the principle of functionally graded materials (FGM). The FGM were prepared with five layers. The outer layer was composed of pure α-alumina to promote biocompatibility while the inner layer was stabilised zirconia (3Y-TZP), to benefit from its tough properties. The intermediate layers were stepwise graded layers. The stability of the EPD suspensions was the main challenge during the preparation steps. Due to availability and low cost, alcoholic solutions of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and toluene were used to control conductivity, dielectric constant and the viscosity of the suspension. The appropriately applied potential, (ζ), for the deposition of each layer, was achieved via gradation of the applied voltage, which was to optimise the packing of each layer and avoid cracking after sintering at 1500 °C. The cylindrical-shaped green specimens were obtained via deposition on graphite electrodes. A small amount of acetic acid was added during the deposition of the final outer alumina layer to introduce porosity, via the bubbling of acetic acid, to encourage osseointegration. The sintered specimens were implanted in rabbit tibial bone. In vivo histological tests showed the successful osseointegration of the implants to the rabbit bone.

CLINICAL AND METABOLIC ANALYSIS OF DISORDERS IN PSORIATIC PATIENTS
Authors: Fedorova Uljana , Syzon Orysya , Gajduchok Igor , Ischejkin Kostjantyn , Dashko Marianna
Published: November 2020

Introduction: Elucidation of the primary nature of biochemical shifts in psoriatic disease and prediction of interconnected subsequent changes in metabolic and inflammatory processes are important in foreseeing the dynamic development of pathological process and the choice of individual treatment.
The aim of the research was to assess the disorders and correlations between main indicators of protein, fat, hydrocarbon and pigment metabolism and specifics of
inflammatory processes in psoriatic patients against the clinical course of dermatosis.
Materials and methods: We analysed the results of clinical and laboratory examinations conducted in 62 psoriatic patients. All these patients have been analysed as per their age, sex, prevalence and the type of skin rash as well as per the clinical disease form. Biochemical examinations were conducted using appropriate sets of reagents. To establish the possible correlation between the indicators of biochemical blood analysis, we calculated the correlation coefficient, which determines the nature of correlation between the studied variables.
Results: The analysis of results received upon examining psoriatic patients indicated that microbial-viral associations, stress factors and genetic predisposition were the most frequent trigger factors of psoriatic disease, which corresponds to the data from literary sources. We detected that the duration of psoriaric disease up to 5 years was the most common, and relapses were manifested in its limited form against the background of the disease advanced stage; the prevalent psoriasis was more common at the hospital stage. Our study justifies that metabolic changes occurred in the overwhelming majority of examined patients of different age groups. At that, abnormalities of a number of indicators of protein, lipid, hydrocarbon and enzyme metabolism have been established. In addition, the expressiveness of corresponding changes correlated with the prevalence of skin psoriatic process and the duration of dermatosis course as well as the presence of pathology of a number of internal organs, in particular of gastrointestinal tract, hepatobiliary and cardiovascular systems, that suggest the presence of systemic disorders at psoriasis.
Conclusions: The identification of independent mechanisms existing between some changes in metabolic process parameters in psoriasis has a theoretical and practical
significance in dermatology, which involves the use of medications to regulate the detected disorders, the possibility to restore correlations, and it will inevitably contribute to the achievement of clinical and preventive effect.
SPECIFIC MARKERS OF NEUROPSYCHIATRIC SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS WITH MENTAL DISORDERS – REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
Authors: Zarzycki Marcin , Flaga-Łuczkiewicz Magdalena , Czuwara Joanna , Rudnicka Lidia
Published: November 2020

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic multiorgan autoimmune disease belonging to spectrum of interest of many medical specialties. Wide range of patients 14−75% with SLE suffers from neuropsychiatric disorders. The problematic diagnosis of neuropsychiatric SLE has generated many studies focusing on etiology of the disease with the presence of specific autoantibodies, abnormalities which can be detected by imaging examinations or correlation with catecholamine levels. The aim of this review paper is to discuss the frequency of neuropsychiatric disturbances in patients with SLE and their potential association with immunological abnormalities and specific disease markers. So far published literature regarding this topic indicates the usefulness of autoantibodies specificity. The use of the specific antibodies may be helpful in targeting diagnostics towards psychiatric disorders, especially depressive ones. Imaging scanning techniques such as computed tomography (CT) have limited value in psychiatric disorders diagnosis but can be useful in neurological symptoms and complains. Therapeutic use of systemic glucocorticosteroids due to anti-inflammatory properties with multidirectional action, may also significantly influence the course of neuropsychiatric diseases, especially in patients with SLE. Awareness of the morbidity of neuropsychiatric disorders and the possibilities of their diagnosis are important in the management of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, which significantly affects the quality of life of patients, treatment efficacy and psyche.

Сartographic heritage of Volodymyr Kubiiovych (the case of the Historical Atlas of Ukraine)
Authors: Savchuk Ivan
Published: November 2020

The article is devoted to the created in 1941 German-language cartographic work on Ukraine (“Handschrift-Karten zur Geschichte, Volkstumskunde und Wirtschaft der Ukraine”), known as the Historical Atlas of Ukraine. It is believed that its author is a famous geographer, encyclopedist Volodymyr Kubiiovych. However, there is reason to assume that V. Kubiiovych has nothing to do with the compilation of this atlas, as he does not cite this work in his bibliography. In this study, we suggest that the Historical Atlas of Ukraine was created not for scientific and educational purposes, but because of political inquiries. Probably, V. Kubiyovych was involved in its preparation in connection with the socio-political conditions in which the scholar found himself.

Today, humans have the phase of the social organization evolution, in which information, communication technologies, and knowledge are fundamental objects of production, as well as the digital environment is an important space for the development of society. There are problems of people’s digital literacy actualized by the increasing role of the existing and growing in information and knowledge in society from Internet environment. This study illustrates the issue of getting digital literacy using online encyclopedic resources on the case about informing the pandemic of coronavirus disease COVID-19 worldwide in 2019-2020. Based on analysis of the mentioned virological topic articles of the national encyclopedias of Europe (Britannica, Brockhaus, Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine, Great Norwegian Encyclopedia, Wikipedia, etc.) the conclusion is made that encyclopedic knowledge is inert and during the pandemic, it has a low practical role for the needs of humans in the context of safe behavior and right decisions. However, Wikipedia differs from other national online encyclopedias by offering much more information including that is not commonly found in classical encyclopedias, but is useful to readers.

Data-driven control is remaking American higher education as the Capitalocene is remaking environment around us. In higher education, how might we orientate the queer potential of liberal education to produce the conditions of possibility of an Earth beyond the Capitalocene and data-driven
control, an Earth that produces expansive notions of student success and racially just futures? I take up this inquiry in three sections. First, I establish relations between the orientation of the Capitalocene and the apparatus of data-driven control to develop a critical new materialisms
analytic. I then diffract the practices of a student success initiative at a west coast university through this analytic. I end with an exploration of the potential of liberal education, as understood to queer the surface between the determinate and the indeterminate, to create the conditions
of anti-instrumentalist, anti-racist change.

Authors: González de Uña Ovidio J. , Carballar Rincón Alejandro
Published: November 2020

In Europe, small electricity consumers are not using the full potential offered by smart meters. Although the European Union requires Member States to provide consumers with their energy usage data, small consumers are not using this data for improving their energy efficiency. This paper proposes: first, the standardization of the electrical load curve offered to small energy consumers at European level. Second, the use of open innovation challenges as a policy instrument in the European Union to improve the energy efficiency of the small electricity consumers and to encourage the development of new market niches. Finally, the paper quantifies how ICT energy efficiency solutions for small electricity consumers can contribute to the achievement of the 2020 European Union energy efficiency targets.

Authors: Claiborn James M , Dozier Thomas H , Hart Stephanie L , Lee Jaehoon
Published: November 2020

Misophonia is a newly recognized condition involving adverse emotional reactions to environmental sounds, most often produced by other people. This study reports results of a survey describing the phenomenology of misophonia based on a large sample.  Survey data were collected from individuals self-identified as having misophonia. A total of 1,061 individuals reported specific distressing reactions to sounds, and responses indicating severity of misophonia and perceived comorbidity. Over 82% of respondents were female. The average age of the study participants was 37.49 years (SD = 12.24; range from 18 to 72). Most respondents reported multiple triggers and adverse emotional reactions, as well as multiple coping responses. The majority of respondents reported comorbid diagnoses. Misophonia severity is described, as well as impact on quality of life. A minority of respondents had some experience with treatment and most reported no change in symptoms.  Treatments reported for misophonia were typically ineffective, and once developed, misophonia symptoms persist. The results of the study showed that misophonia is a newly recognized condition that appears to have important impact on people’s lives. It typically develops in early life, and is associated with a reduced quality of life, substantial comorbidity, negative emotional experiences, and behaviors that are likely to impact interpersonal relationships.

The optimal conditions were selected for obtaining homogeneous nanoemulsions (NE) of lipoic acid conjugates (LA-conjugates) based on Pluronic F68 (1,8%) with a particle size not exceeding 400 nm, characterized by 97±2% encapsulation efficiency of substances in nanoparticles (NP). A heterogeneous NE (polydispersity index, PDI>0,3) with the derivative of LA and myo-inositol based on phosphatidylcholine (PC, C = 3 mg/ml) was also obtained consisting of 2 particle fractions: 20–70 nm (27%) and 122–212 nm (73%). The obtained NEs with LA-conjugates based on Pluronic F68 and PC were stable during long-term storage (more than 12 months) at room temperature. The effect of the obtained NEs of LA-conjugates on platelet aggregation (Pt) caused by arachidonic acid (AA) was determined, and a mechanism of their action was proposed.
Trasformation and consumption trends in the modern sharing business model
Authors:   Synergy University, Chernukhina G. N.
Published: November 2020

He article discusses the current state and trends in the development of the sharing economy as a business model. Initially, the sharing economy assumed an exchange between people, but businessmen quickly learned to use the growing popularity of the trend. Companies began to provide platforms for sharing goods.The growing number of mobile and online platforms that effectively connect people who have underutilized assets with people who want to use them, allows you to advertise and sell products widely. In the sharing economy, the role of the consumer is changing to a two-way one, with consumers acting as buyers and suppliers of resources.By “sharing economy” the author understands such a social model, where there is a conscious rejection of private property in favor of collective, and this refusal is associated not with a lack of money, but with a desire to expand their capabilities.The economy of shared consumption today affects most areas of everyday life, changing the methods of transportation (Uber app, BlaBlaCar, Delimobil), living conditions in travel (on Airbnb), ways of entertainment (Netflix and YouTube, etc.), performing tasks (TaskRabbit itself), financing (Kickstarter), etc.Continuing the research, the author found that a number of prerequisites influenced the emergence and development of this business model, for example, the development of the Internet, a change in thinking in favor of a more open and trusting (for example, a trip with strangers to the BlaBlaCar site), a lack of desire to save for a long time to purchase property, urbanization, etc.

Nationalism is as an ideology dealing with the idea of the nation as an ultimate
pride for its subjects. In-country like India, everything is plural and diverse nature,
region, religion, culture, language etc. And so its nationalism has many shades.
Bollywood is the world's largest film industry producing the highest number of movies a
year comparing any film industry in the globe. This paper aims to focus on how
nationalism gets duplicated by filmmakers in their films. Since Bollywood has a history
over more than a century, I have chosen selected films of the 21st century only.

Published: November 2020

Self-organizing systems arise in many different fields. In this work we analyze data from social and biological systems. A central question is to demonstrate the presence of the determinism in time-series extracted from such systems that appear apparently not correlated but that are two good benchmarks for the study of complexity in real systems. We will apply the Kaplan test and we will define an order parameter for the biological data to characterize the complexity of the system.
Oksida kaya-Si Tingkatkan Rintangan Pengoksidaan Struktur Terkimpal Al-Mg-Si Pada Suhu 400oC dan 600oC

Published: November 2020

At high temperatures the Al-Mg-Si alloy structure is characterized by low resistance due to the complex oxidation effects involving the formation of layers or scale oxides and internal degradation. The situation becomes more complex when this alloy undergoes a welding process of metal bonding that involves heating and cooling. Subsequently, the welded structure is exposed to high temperature oxidation resulting in different oxide formation and phase changes. Therefore, the present study aims to determine the effect of high temperature oxidation on Al-Mg-Si alloy welded joint using ER 4043 (Al-5% Si) filler metal. The analysis and characterization of samples include morphology and microstructure using OM and SEM / EDX, and the oxide phase was determined using XRD. The addition of 5% Si from the filler metal and the formation of SiO2 on the surface of the welded structure due to the oxidation exposure was found to be effective in lowering the oxidation level by reducing penetration of oxygen diffusion into the alloy substrate. SiO2 also helps strengthen the Al2O3 protective layer. In conclusion, the use of an ER 4043 as a filler metal containing a 5% of Si as a major secondary element in the Al-Mg-Si welded structure is suitable for high temperature applications.
Discovery of Raman-scattered He ii λ6545 in the Planetary Nebulae NGC 6886 and NGC 6881
Authors: Choi Bo-Eun , Lee Hee-Won
Published: November 2020

Young planetary nebulae (PNe) retain a large amount of neutral material that was shed in the previous asymptotic giant branch stage. The thick H i region in young PNe can be effectively probed by illuminating far-UV radiation that may be inelastically scattered to appear in the optical region. Raman-scattered features are unique spectroscopic tracers of neutral regions that can be used to investigate the mass-loss process in young PNe. We conduct high-resolution spectroscopy of young PNe using the Bohyunsan Observatory Echelle Spectrograph (BOES) and report the discovery of a Raman-scattered He ii feature at 6545 Å in NGC 6886 and NGC 6881. The Raman-scattered He ii features have been found in only five PNe so far, and in particular, it is the first direct detection of an H i component in NGC 6881. The Raman He ii λ6545 features in the two PNe are observed to be redshifted with respect to He ii λ6560, indicating that the neutral regions are expanding. We perform line profile analyses using the grid-based Monte Carlo code “STaRS” by assuming a neutral hydrogen region in the shape of a partial spherical shell expanding radially. The profiles are well fitted with the model parameters of covering factor CF = 0.3, H i column density N
HI = 5 × 1020 cm−2, and expansion speed

for NGC 6886 and CF = 0.6, N

La red de Nanociencias, Micro y Nanotecnología del Instituto Politécnico Nacional de México presenta el segundo volumen de Avances de Investigación en Nanociencias, Micro y Nanotecnología. La Ciencia y Tecnología cada vez están avanzando más aceleradamente en la mayoría de las áreas del conocimiento. Pero por la aceleración y competencia entre iguales, la necesidad de patentar los hallazgos, no nos permite mirar en detalle los riesgos y los efectos secundarios al medio ambiente y a nosotros mismos. Lo único que a veces observamos es el impacto en la aplicación de nuestros desarrollos. Por lo que en esta área de la nanotecnología muy novedosa y pertinente es necesario revisar constantemente el medio donde realizamos nuestra investigación, el escalamiento el dónde y el cómo se realizará la aplicación de la nanotecnología, para así evitar los efectos secundarios que podría generar. De esa forma seremos más conscientes de que la nanotecnología desarrollada es amigable con el medio ambiente por los enormes beneficios que puede dar a la sociedad y en los diversos campos de aplicación requeridos por el ser humano.

En este trabajo se nanoencapsuló urea en una matriz de quitosano (QS), para reducir la cantidad de urea empleada en el cultivo de lechuga sembrada en suelo. El tamaño de las nanocápsulas con y sin urea fue determinado por MEB y DLS. La carga o potencial zeta de las nanocápsulas fue analizada empleando un nanozetasizer. Los resultados de MEB indicaron que las esferas sin urea presentaron un tamaño de 250 ± 50 nm con potencial Z de 25.00 ± 0.96 mV y con urea de 500 nm ± 50 debido a la adición de urea un potencial de 17.10 ± 2.56 mV. La cantidad de urea utilizada como fertilizante en las nanoesferas fue únicamente del 30 % del total empleado en el cultivo control. Las lechugas nutridas con las nanoesferas de quitosano con urea tuvieron una altura 32 % mayor en la roseta comparadas con el cultivo control. No se observó una diferencia significativa en la elongación de la raíz y el diámetro de la roseta. La cantidad de nitrógeno en la raíz de las lechugas nutridas con las nano esferas fue 5 % menor que en el tratamiento control.
