Realizaram-se também ensaios para avaliação do potencial de resistência à virose, nas 62 linhagens nos municípios de Bastos/SP e Santa Adélia/SP, localidades onde o vírus tem infectado lavouras de amendoim de forma crescente nos últimos anos. Em Bastos, as parcelas foram constituídas por 3 linhas de 10 m de comprimento. Em Santa Adélia, as linhagens foram avaliadas em blocos casualizados com três repetições, em parcelas com uma linha de 20 m. Concluiu-se que as linhagens resistentes ao nematoide possuem diversidade para tolerância à virose e potencial agronômico para produção e qualidade de grãos.
Surgical planning for coronary artery bypass operations using patient-specific computational fluid dynamics modelling
Authors: Chaudhuri Krish
Published: November 2022

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Coronary artery bypass grafting operations have been performed as a treatment for this disease for over 60 years. There has been recent interest in the exclusive use of arterial grafts as conduits for this operation, in particular bilateral internal mammary arteries, on account of their longevity. However, there still exists significant variability in grafting strategy amongst cardiac surgeons and there remains controversy as to the optimal grafting configuration for a given patient. This is due to the complexity of the biophysics of a particular individual’s coronary circulation and the resulting degree of uncertainty facing a surgeon.

The overall aim of this research was to investigate whether predictive patient-specific computational modelling could aid cardiac surgeons in their selection of grafting configurations using bilateral internal mammary and radial arteries for patients with severe triple vessel disease. In particular, the purpose was to avoid the selection of unsatisfactory grafting configurations that would result in grafts with limited patency due to flow competition.

This study was conducted by recruiting 16 cardiac surgeons (8 experts and 8 novices). Surgeons selected their preferred grafting configuration for each of 5 patients, including an anaortic technique which could be performed without the need for cardiopulmonary bypass. Five patient-specific 1D-0D lumped parameter computational models were created to compare 12 total arterial grafting configurations used internationally. The hemodynamic predictions included mean graft flow, pulsatility index and degree of regional myocardial perfusion restored. Surgeons then selected their preferred grafting configurations after viewing the computational data.

The use of computational models led to a significant decrease in the selection of unsatisfactory grafting configurations using anaortic techniques. It also resulted in more patient-specific tailoring of individual grafting configurations for these techniques. Computer modelling informed novices were more likely to choose optimal grafting configurations whereas experts were content with satisfactory grafting configurations. Novices were also more likely than experts to be influenced by the computer model in selecting grafting configurations that they would usually avoid the use of.

The 1D-0D predictive patient-specific models demonstrated that the arterial grafting configurations using composite and sequential grafts are patient-specific. Based on these results it is concluded that grafting configurations should be adjusted specifically for each patient. The use of computer modelling can aid surgeons in making better decisions for patients particularly in the context of more technically challenging anaortic operations that use bilateral internal mammary and radial arteries in patients with triple vessel disease.

Effect of Antiplatelet Activity of Aspirin on Chronic Kidney Disease
Authors: Ali Saqib
Published: November 2022

Background and aim: Individual differences in the pharmacological responsiveness to aspirin are considerable. A higher likelihood of ischemic episodes is linked to aspirin's inadequate antiplatelet actions. It has been hypothesized that chronic kidney disease (CKD) influences the pharmacologic reaction to antiplatelet drugs. The elevated chance of fatality and cardiovascular problems in CKD sufferers has already been found to be largely explained by high on-treatment platelets response (HTPR) to clopidogrel. This research aimed to examine at how aspirin affects blood clotting in CKD sufferers. Method: We performed cross-sectional research on 120 people in Medical center of Lahore taking aspirin regularly. The thromboxane production generated by AAI was used to gauge the pharmacologic reaction to aspirin. Result: Individuals with poor kidney functioning were more likely to experience HTPR to aspirin (48% vs. 23%; odds ratio, 3.17; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.35-7.42; P = 0.007). When compared to individuals with healthy or mildly diminished kidney performance, those with mild or serious CKD had lower pharmacokinetic responsiveness to aspirin (91; interquartile ranged [IQR], 281 ng mL-1; differential in medians, 56; CI, 6-110 ng mL-1; P = 0.012). Remaining thromboxane production and glomerular filtration rate were both associated by bivariate Pearson correlation analysis (R = 0.312; R2 = 0.093; P = 0.001). Individuals with CKD were usually old age and being women. Women and aged were not significant predictors of the connection, according to multivariate linear regression analyses (R = 0.313; R2 = 0.081; P = 0.002 and P = 0.006) respectively. Conclusion: Aspirin pharmacological reaction is associated with kidney function. Individuals who have CKD are more likely to have aspirin's antiplatelet action compromised. To evaluate the therapeutic significance of this data and look into the best antithrombotic strategy for CKD individuals, additional research is required. Keywords: Chronic kidney disease, platelets, treatment, aspirin, cardiovascular

Entre 2009 y 2010, el Fondo Monetario Internacional creó, en respuesta a la crisis financiera global, una serie de líneas de préstamo destinadas a la prevención y al aseguramiento frente a crisis. Estas líneas preventivas fueron dirigidas a países con fundamentos y políticas económicas sólidos, pero expuestos a riesgos de contagio financiero. La utilización de estos instrumentos —medida en número de países— fue reducida durante sus diez primeros años de existencia, y con la irrupción de la pandemia tres nuevos países de Latinoamérica solicitaron acogerse a ellos. La valoración de estas líneas sugiere que han cumplido la función de aseguramiento para la que fueron concebidas. De cara a la próxima revisión de estas líneas, y a la luz de la experiencia reciente, se analizan las posibles causas de su limitada demanda y se aportan elementos relevantes en el diseño de las «estrategias de salida», uno de los aspectos que más atención han suscitado en su utilización.

Medidas protetivas compulsórias a idosos: ataque a ou defesa de direitos fundamentais: uma análise à luz dos conceitos clássicos de ética e liberdade
Authors: Rena Pereira Victor Hugo
Published: November 2022

Marginalizados econômica, social e culturalmente, grupos de idosos vulneráveis sobrevivem em condições cujo exercício da humanidade é comprometido. O querer é viciado pelas necessidades biológicas existenciais e expectativa de manutenção de laços afetivos mínimos. Como consequência, idosos refutam a proteção de que necessitam em benefício dos próprios agressores. Para resgatá-los do degredo sociocultural que lhes foi imposto e de onde, agora, não reúnem forças para sair, é necessária, possível e desejável a aplicação excepcional de medidas de proteção independentemente de requerimento e eventualmente até mesmo contra a vontade da vítima, sem que isso se constitua violação ética, ataque à liberdade individual ou ferimento a direitos fundamentais. Afinal, uma sociedade que se pretenda ética não pode deliberadamente ser coautora de conjunturas degradantes e, em nome da liberdade, condenar o ser-humano à escravidão.

Se sintetizaron una serie de óxidos mixtos tipo perovskitas de composición A1-xA?xB1-yB?yO3 (A= Sr/Ca y B= Al/Ni; A= La y B= Co/Ni) a partir del método por combustión en solución SCS, empleando Glicina como carburante y usando radiación microondas como fuente de energía. Los sólidos fueron caracterizados vía espectroscopia infrarroja con transformada de Fourier FT-IR, difracción de rayos X DRX y fisisorción de nitrógeno. La FT-IR mostró la presencia de múltiples bandas características de interacciones metal - oxígeno a baja longitud de onda (entre 900 y 400 cm-1) algunas solapadas entre sí, que muestran la presencia de estos metales en el sólido sintetizado. El análisis textural demostró que los sólidos presentan valores muy bajos de área superficial (< 20 m2/g), típico de este tipo de materiales, indicando la posible presencia de partículas con tamaños en el orden de los nanómetros Los resultados obtenidos por DRX sugieren que la fase predominante en estos materiales corresponde a los reportados para perovskitas: la serie 1 ortorrómbica simple, la serie 2 tetraédrica simple pero deficiente de oxígeno, y la serie 3 tetraédrica en capas; esta técnica permitió determinar el tamaño del dominio cristalino, encontrándose valores en todos los sólidos por debajo de los 25 nm.

El efecto del estrés oxidativo en las células producto de la acción prolongada de los radicales libres causa en el organismo la aparición de un número importante de enfermedades degenerativas, las cuales, afectan la calidad de vida y longevidad en los individuos. Hoy en día continúan los estudios con diversas especies de plantas debido a la gran variedad de compuestos químicos con posible actividad antioxidante. Las plantas del género Tristeix (Loranthaceae) se distribuyen principalmente en las regiones tropicales y subtropicales de América, África, Asia y Australia, de igual manera, se ha observado la presencia de ciertas especies en las zonas templadas de Europa y Asia Oriental. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar la capacidad secuestrante de los radicales libres, el Contenido de Fenoles Totales y Contenido de Flavonoides Totales y el perfil fitoquimico cualitativo de los extractos etanólicos obtenidos de la especie Tristeix longebracteatus (Desr.) Barlow & Wiens (Loranthaceae). El tamizaje fitoquímico permitió identificar en el extracto metanólico de EEH abundantes cantidades de compuestos triterpénicos y esteroidales mientras que para EET se observó presencia moderada de estos metabolitos. El estudio de la actividad antioxidante con el ensayo de ABTS mostró valores de IC50 (0,42 µg/mL EEH y 0, 89 µg/mL EET), mientras que el contenido de fenoles totales reveló para EET (551,6 mg Eq ÁG/g Ext) y para EEH (462,6 mg Eq ÁG/g Ext). En el ensayo de flavonoides se observó mayor concentración para la muestra EET con 434,30 mg Eq Q/g Ext en comparación con los 294,70 mg Eq Q/g Ext presentes en EEH. Los resultados obtenidos se consideran un aporte al estudio de la especie Tristerix longebracteatus.

La propuesta filosófica de Ignacio Ellacuría.
Authors: Samour Héctor
Published: November 2022

El autor pretende hacer una síntesis del pensamiento filosófico de Ignacio Ellacuría. Afirma que, en la concepción de Ellacuría, la filosofía no puede realizarse a plenitud si no se entiende como un momento de una praxis histórica global, que le condiciona y le da sentido. Y que en un contexto histórico de presión y deshumanización, la función liberadora de la filosofía se pone explícitamente a favor de una praxis liberadora.

Breve aproximación al pensamiento náhuatl.
Authors: Rivas Portillo Jaime
Published: November 2022

El presente artículo tiene como eje central la tesis de que los grupos nahuas instalados en Centroamérica antes de la conquista, específicamente en El Salvador, trajeron consigo la herencia cultural de los centros de poder náhuatl ubicados en el México prehispánico. El autor se pregunta por la existencia de un sistema entre los grupos nahuas que, tras sucesivas oleadas, emigraron al istmo. Si existiere tal sistema de pensamiento encontraría su base en la toltecayotl, o la enseñanza de la sabiduría tolteca. Este sería el más valioso legado simbólico de los habitantes de El Salvador prehispánico para las actuales generaciones de salvadoreños.

LOCAL INVENTORY DEMAND FORECASTING OF E-COMMERCE WITH MAPREDUCE FRAMEWORK
Authors: Islam Kazi Fardin , Rahman Mithun , Hossain SK Alamgir
Published: November 2022

With the rapid expansion of e-commerce businesses shortest delivery time is a challenging task. As well as price and quality, delivery time is becoming an important key-factor in the race of business growth. To deliver the product to the buyer in the shortest time, the product should be at the local inventory at the time of purchasing. Which is a difficult task for e-commerce companies to store the right products at right time in local inventories. Extracting useful patterns and forecasting demand from purchase history is a tough job because of the huge volume and high variety nature of e-commerce data. The MapReduce algorithm of Big Data ecosystem can be used to pre-process the enormous amount of data and to summarize it into a suitable format which later can easily be used to build any forecasting model. A comparison of different classical time series forecasting methods with the pre-processing of MapReduce algorithm is focused on this work.

Published: November 2022

Maternal mortality and difficulties during childbirth are important delivery issues in the majority of underdeveloped nations, including Bangladesh. Our objective is to figure out what's behind the rise in caesarean deliveries, build a link between critical components and caesarean section, and seek the key factors are related with caesarean births. We combined 2014 and 2017-18 BDHS data and found that key factors. We employed the logistic regression model to identify and quantify the effects of variables on birth mode and proposed five supervised machine learning approaches to find out the best performing model to predict the birth mode. The performance of these algorithms is evaluated by accuracy, precision, recall and F1 score. This study shows that Division, Highest education level, Wealth index, Total number of children born, BMI and Age of respondent at first birth, Husband’s education level and Respondent’s current working status have been statistically linked to caesarean delivery, and using the logistic regression approach all of the categories of the variables are also statistically significant (p value- < 0.05). Since the rich and the upper class are more likely to have a caesarean section than the poor and middle class, they need to be made aware of the disadvantages of this procedure. At the same time, they need to be encouraged to adopt a common approach. As a result, our work has a substantial influence and plays a role in developing a preventative strategy for caesarean situations, particularly in Bangladesh.

Published: November 2022

En México los paisajes forestales son territorios heterogéneos y complejos. En ellos se desarrollan una multiplicidad de usos que van desde el ecológico, cultural hasta el socioproductivo. Históricamente, las políticas de desarrollo rural y de conservación están desarticuladas, esta situación favorece la degradación y deforestación de la superficie forestal y un desarrollo de sistemas agropecuarios insostenibles. Jalisco, el Gigante Agroalimentario (Padilla et al., 2017) del país, también está  examinando los costos ambientales y sociales de tal apelativo (contaminación de aguas, desigualdad, degradación de suelos, deforestación, etc.). La ganadería extensiva los cultivos de agave y aguacate son considerados como impulsores de la deforestación, por lo que se opta por llevar estos sistemas a esquemas libres de deforestación.
