The Ethical Issues in Emperor Wu of Liang's Prohibition of Meat Consumption: Focusing on the Duan jiu rou wen
Authors:   Korean Institute for uddhist Studies, Cho Yoon Kyung
Published: October 2024

In East Asian Buddhism, the consumption of meat by monks has not been permitted since the sixth century. During this period, Emperor Wu of Liang, drawing from the teachings of Mahayana sutras including the Mahāparinirvāṇa sūtra, issued the 'Prohibition of Alcohol and Meat' (斷酒肉令). At the heart of Emperor Wu's prohibition of meat consumption is the ethical judgment that “meat-eating is inherently killing.” Emperor Wu maintained a strict stance that monks should not eat meat under any circumstances, including naturally deceased meat (自死) or for health reasons. This view contrasted with early Buddhist food ethics, differentiating between meat-eating and killing and allowing for the Three Pure Meats (三種淨肉).
He also believed that monastic vegetarianism was essential for realizing the ideals of Mahayana Buddhism and establishing a harmonious society. Emperor Wu asserted that meat-eating inherently distanced one from all practices leading to nirvana, making enlightenment unattainable. While he did not directly challenge the autonomy of the monastic community in the Duan jiu rou wen (斷酒肉文 Abstinence from Alcohol and Meat), he argued that meat-eating monks had effectively forfeited their monastic status and could be punished according to secular laws.
This paper examines the differing perspectives of Emperor Wu and the Vinaya masters on the ethical issues surrounding meat-eating and vegetarianism as presented in the Duan jiu rou wen. This decree, officially issued by the Emperor to standardize Buddhist vegetarianism, is significant as the historical starting point of East Asian Buddhism—not just as a theory but also as a practice. It also serves as a point of comparison for the contemporary approach to this ethical issue, which is still relevant today.

Published: October 2024

Mapping multiple atrial flutter re-entry circles after previous cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolations and multiple radiofrequency ablations can be challenging even for experienced specialists. Inappropriate radiofrequency ablation leads to scar-related electrical changes in the left and the right atria. We present a case of fractionated electrograms of the right atrium in a patient with previous radiofrequency ablations due to atrial fibrillation and atypical atrial flutter. PentaRay mapping catheter was used to identify the mechanisms of tachycardia precisely and to map fractionated electrograms.

Картирование атипичного трепетания предсердий с множеством ре-ентри циклов после ранее проведенной криобаллонной изоляции устъев легочных вен и множество радиочастотных аблаций может быть достаточно сложным даже для опытных хирургов. Необоснованная радиочастотная аблация приводит к рубцовым измениям в левом и правом предсердиях. Описывается клинический случай с фракцинированием электрограм правого предсердия у пациента с ранее проведенной радиочастотной аблации при фибрилляции и атипичном трепетании предсердий. Картирующий катетер PentaRay был использован для точного определения механизмов тахикардии и картирования фракцинированных электрограм.

Криобаллонды өкпе көк-тамырларының изоляциясын және бірнеше рет радиожиілікті аблация жасалған науқастарда уақыт өте келе көп ре-ентри циклды күрделі атипиялық жүрекше дірілі жиі пайда болады. Бұл атипиялық жүрекше дірілінің картасын салу және механизмін анықтау хирургтарға қиын болуы мүмкін. Қажетсіз радиожиілікті аблациялар оң және сол жүрекшелерде дәнекер тінінің түзілуіне алып келеді. Мақалада бірнеше рет радиожиілікті аблацияға ұшыраған және өкпе көк- тамырларының криоаблациясы жасалған науқастың оң жүрекше электрограммасының фракцияланған клиникалық жағдайы сипатталған. Жүрекше картасын салу үшін және аритмия механизмін нақтырақ білу үшін арнайы PentaRay диагностикалық электрод қолданылды.
Исследование растворяющих свойств средств для эндодонтической ирригации на основе гипохлорита натрия
Authors: О.С. Савостикова , Н.А. Кронивец
Published: October 2024

Гипохлорит натрия (NaOCl) благодаря своим антибактериальным свойствам и способности растворять органические ткани единогласно стал наиболее востребованным ирригантом в современной эндодонтии. Лизирующий эффект определяется концентрацией гипохлорита натрия: максимальная выраженность эффекта и самое короткое время (3 мин 7 с) действия проявилось у средства на основе 5,25% раствора гипохлорита натрия «Дентисептин-5,25», что почти в 2 раза эффективнее по сравнению со средством на основе 3% раствора гипохлорита натрия «Дентисеп- тин-3,0». Для растворения тканей пульпы при лечении пульпитов, чтобы избежать эндодонтических осложнений, требуется использование средства на основе 5,25% раствора гипохлорита натрия в течение 4–5 мин – времени контакта с тканями зуба в корневом канале.

Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), due to its antibacterial properties and ability to dissolve organic tissues, has unanimously become the most sought after irrigant in modern endodontics. The lysing effect is determined by the concentration of sodium hypochlorite: the maximum severity of the effect and the shortest time (3 minutes 7 seconds) of action was manifested in the product based on 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution "Dentiseptin-5.25", which is almost 2 times more effective than a product based on a 3% sodium hypochlorite solution "Dentiseptin-3.0". To dissolve the pulp tissue in the treatment of pulpitis, in order to avoid endodontic complications, it is required to use a product based on a 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution for 4–5 minutes – the time of contact with the tooth tissues in the root canal.
Nocturnal delivery: First record of orchid pollinia (Orchidales: Orchidaceae) on prominent moths (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae)
Authors: Prada-Lara Liliana , St Laurent Ryan A. , Rodríguez María Alejandra , Fagua Giovanny
Published: October 2024

Moths are significant pollinators and flower visitors globally, however their roles and mutualistic relationships with plants remain underexplored. This study highlights the novelty of the Nystaleinae Nycterotis jacobensis (Thiaucourt, 2008) as a potential orchid pollinator, evidenced by pollinia found on its proboscis. The specimen, collected in Utría National Natural Park, Colombia, would represent the first report of a prominent moth visiting orchids in this region. Additionally, we review recent observations of Dioptinae moths feeding on flowers, suggesting their potential role as pollinators. Our findings underscore the need for further research on the biology and ecology of Neotropical moths, particularly in ecosystems vulnerable to climate change. Future studies should focus on identifying the specific orchid species visited by Nycterotis and other Nystaleinae, as well as implementing diverse methodologies to assess the impact of these nocturnal pollinators on tropical ecosystem dynamics and their response to environmental changes.

“Sostener la política” en la interacción: los acompañamientos en las políticas de infancias y juventudes
Authors: Benassi Evangelina , Fernández Silvina
Published: October 2024

En esta publicación presentamos algunos avances de los Proyectos de Investigación (PID) (2020-2026)[1] que desarrollamos, radicados en la Facultad de Ciencia Política y Relaciones Internacionales de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario, Argentina. En dichos proyectos, analizamos las prácticas de acompañamiento en las políticas de infancias y juventudes en la provincia de Santa Fe. En tal sentido, las agencias estatales socio-asistenciales que llevan adelante las políticas de inserción, protección o restitución de derechos a la población señalada han incorporado con intensidad y regularidad las figuras del acompañante para llevar adelante múltiples tareas que se consideran centrales para lograr los objetivos programáticos. En este caso, y en función de la particularidad de la convocatoria, nos centraremos en señalar algunos desafíos de las políticas de infancias y juventudes en la consolidación democrática y en el avance del reconocimiento de los Derechos Humanos. Para eso, analizamos, en primer lugar, la puesta en marcha de estas políticas y revisamos, desde una mirada crítica, las superposiciones burocráticas, la división del trabajo y la conflictividad que el proceso de trabajo del acompañamiento supone. En un segundo momento, recuperamos, desde la palabra de los acompañantes, los sentidos que le atribuyen a ser el Estado en la interacción con niños, niñas y jóvenes. Por último, presentamos algunas reflexiones que contribuyen a vislumbrar de qué manera se inscriben en las agencias estatales los problemas sociales de esta población y, en consecuencia, cómo se plasman las intervenciones que suponen abordarlos.

Democracia más allá de las elecciones: giro afectivo hacia la participación para gestionar la complejidad
Authors: Signorelli Gisela
Published: October 2024

La democracia tiene buenas credenciales. Sin embargo, en la actualidad, estas credenciales resultan insuficientes. Los gobiernos demuestran impotencia a la hora de resolver problemas estructurales como la desigualdad y la violencia en un contexto de alta complejidad. Ello aumenta las brechas entre las expectativas ciudadanas y lo que el sistema representativo democrático logra garantizar.
Si bien Argentina ha logrado una continuidad de cuarenta años de democracia –un hecho sin precedentes e invaluable en su historia– y un alto porcentaje de personas elige el sistema democrático como la mejor forma de gobierno, la desconfianza frente al poder político y las instituciones estatales se acrecienta. A esto se le adiciona el impacto del fenómeno disruptivo que significa Internet en nuestras vidas y, por tanto, en la política. El conjunto muestra un escenario poco alentador, con altos índices de desafección y giros hacia las derechas más conservadoras.
Pensar la democracia más allá de las elecciones implica considerar el elemento participativo con mayor protagonismo: el de la acción concreta con compromiso ciudadano en la construcción de lo común que transmute la indignación en esperanza. Al ser la democracia el mejor sistema para gestionar la complejidad, la participación es un modo de desbloquearla y de recuperar dos de sus pilares fundamentales: la igualdad social y la soberanía popular. Esta participación es entendida, en un sentido institucional e instituyente –en constante retroalimentación–, como creación de poder popular, como una forma de recuperar, desde la dimensión afectiva, la trama de los vínculos democráticos –hoy rotos– para la consolidación de una “estrategia de reformismo radical” (Mouffe, 2023).
Temas sensibles, insurgentes y emergentes en la agenda de las políticas sociales (para ampliar nuestra democracia)
Authors: Sosa Ruth , Ingaramo María Alejandra , Pignatta María Angélica , Giampaoli Georgina
Published: October 2024

El presente artículo reflexiona sobre temas sensibles, emergentes e insurgentes en el campo de las políticas sociales con potencial para ampliar la agenda de nuestras democracias. Sostenemos que está en marcha un proceso de expansión de derechos que se explica por las luchas colectivas de movimientos sociales, que se expresan en las calles y repercuten en transformaciones subterráneas que configuran modos otros de pensar las políticas sociales. Partimos de reconocer y adherir al giro epistémico que irrumpe críticamente en el campo de las ciencias sociales y en las formas de construir conocimiento. A cuarenta años del regreso de la democracia en Argentina, nos proponemos reflexionar sobre agendas insurgentes –y aún pendientes– en materia de reconocimiento a las identidades de género y la cuestión del cuidado como parte de los ejes centrales de las desigualdades.
Aportes para recuperar la historia de la perspectiva feminista en la formación de Trabajo Social en la Universidad Nacional de Rosario. Una mirada desde la experiencia docente
Authors: Vilamajó Alicia , Boschetti Silvina , Giampaoli Georgina , Bozzi Candela
Published: October 2024

En el presente escrito, pretendemos recuperar y reflexionar acerca de los valiosos aportes que los estudios de género, feministas y la teoría queer han sumado al análisis y problematización de las desigualdades sociales. Nos referimos a un proceso de producción de conocimientos críticos que superan en términos temporales los cuarenta años de democracia y desbordan espacialmente nuestra universidad. Sin embargo, pensaremos en clave local los modos en que estos saberes contribuyen a la democratización de las producciones científicas y desbordan los límites de la academia. Lo haremos desde el Trabajo Social, al recuperar su valor heurístico para la construcción democrática y desde la experiencia del dictado de la materia Género y Trabajo Social.
As mulheres na política: sub-representação, relações de poder e dominação masculina
Authors: Salvagni Julice , Freitas Chavaré Débora , Koch Colomby Renato , Boelhouwer Menezes Daiane
Published: October 2024

As relações de poder, que são construções sociais, históricas e estruturais de uma sociedade constituída pela dominação do masculino, são asseguradas cotidianamente, por meio da violência simbólica. As mulheres, apesar de avanços nos direitos civis, ainda são as maiores responsáveis pelo trabalho doméstico, têm remuneração inferior, se comparado aos homens e são sub-representadas no campo da política. Nesse sentido, a representação da mulher na política é vista como uma possibilidade de atuação coletiva, em busca dos interesses dos grupos minorizados. Tendo isso em vista, pretende-se com este ensaio teórico tensionar elementos como as relações de poder e dominação que envolvem as mulheres no campo político e a sub-representação das mulheres no cenário político brasileiro.
Las condiciones de reproducción de los estudiantes de la secundaria para jóvenes y adultos en Argentina en el siglo XXI
Authors: Olivares Julián
Published: October 2024

Este artículo busca analizar en qué medida los estudiantes de la secundaria para jóvenes y adultos se han visto afectados por fenómenos que muestran un deterioro en sus condiciones de reproducción durante la historia reciente. Aunque la bibliografía especializada en la temática señala que los alumnos de la modalidad son atravesados por cuestiones como la desocupación, la pobreza y la precariedad laboral, existe una serie de limitaciones para conocer en qué grado esto es así en el conjunto del territorio nacional y si se han dado cambios con el paso del tiempo. Como forma de contribuir a la cuestión, desde una metodología cuantitativa se realiza una aproximación a la situación del grupo poblacional de donde proviene el alumnado en base a la Encuesta Permanente de Hogares, entre los años 2003 y 2018. El principal argumento planteado es que los estudiantes tienen condiciones de reproducción sumamente degradadas que se vinculan con su pertenencia a la sobrepoblación relativa, aunque no se han mantenido inalteradas, sino que en general han evolucionado en sintonía con el ciclo económico argentino.
Christology of Tuak-Tempayan: Christological Endeavors in the Land of Western Borneo
Authors: Budi Fransiskus Nong
Published: October 2024

This paper presents Christological research conducted in Nanga Mahap (Sekadau, West Kalimantan). The main focus of this study is on the phenomenon of Tuak Tempayan, a significant cultural reality considered to hold a wealth of values with open possibilities for Christological interpretation for the teaching of faith. Tuak Tempayan can be a means ofCatechesis in explaining the reality of Jesus Christ who has divine and human nature, God and Man. The research was carried out using a new methodology called Phenomenological Research. This method is a phenomenological approach applied to the pure experience of an encounter within a culture and then validated through research to arrive at its original meaning. The results are then interpreted dialogically with Christology to arrive at a new meaning for catechesis and the transformation of faith life. Such an effort is nothing but doing Christology from the context, an attempt to understand Jesus Christ through localities and local contexts.

Authors: Siregar Nurhanifah , Tanjung Wiwi Wardani , Harahap Lena Juliana
Published: October 2024

Water is the most important requirement for life. People would prefer to refill their drinking water to satisfy their needs because it is easier and more efficient. It is important to implement hygiene and sanitation measures at drinking water depots if the drinking water produced is to be healthy and safe. Contamination of water can occur if drinking water depots are not kept clean and sanitary.  The research used is a descriptive study conducted in the Barus District, with the goal of providing a description of the depot's hygiene and sanitation, as well as laboratory analysis to identify the total contamination of coliform bacteria in the Barus District's Refill Drinking Water Depot. According to the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia no 43 in 2014. None of the drinking water depots in Barus district met the physical qualifying requirements. The exam resulted in a score of 70 or higher. and the results of laboratory tests on the bacteriological quality of drinking water replenished with all coliform-contaminated drinking water samples that exceeded the quality satandard.    As a result, the depot owner should turn on the disinfection equipment when starting work and always pay attention to building sanitation, employee hygiene and maintaining drinking water treatment equipment to prevent contamination of drinking water.

Authors: Damana I Ketut
Published: October 2024

The Buddhist teacher's goal of conflict is of course required to use a psychological approach. The less than ideal conditions of the teacher's purposeful behavior in the managed lesson process are not opposite. The importance of the strategy of religious teachers tends to be seen in the character education of the attendees. Descriptive qualitative research method is used on this research. The research instruments were interviews, observations, documentation, and respondents with several related devices. In reality, not all Buddhist teachers deliver material with curriculum. This has an impact on improving the continuity of education, i.e. there are students who are not taught Buddhism. Data analysis is using Iceberg model. The results of the study can be concluded as; the innovation process occurs from the conflict of teacher behavior, the implementation of the innovation pattern of the teacher's strategy, the structure of the advantages and disadvantages of teacher management and the mental model of teacher behavior.

Authors: Sari Hasni Indah , Dur Sajaratud , Cipta Hendra
Published: October 2024

Rice is an essential commodity in Indonesia because of its role as a staple food, which most Indonesians consume daily as a carbohydrate intake. In its development to meet these needs, many things affect the stability of the availability and price of this rice. They are starting from climatic conditions, logistics systems, and the state of the domestic market and the international rice market. On the other hand, the increase in national rice consumption from year to year will continue to grow along with the rise in population. This research aims to apply the Monte Carlo and Markov Chain method to control Jansen rice supplies at the Jansen Rice Mill, Paluh Wave Street, Percut Sei Tuan District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province. The data used is data on rice demand from 2016 to 2021. Monte Carlo forecasts for the next few years, and Markov Chain provides what percentage of opportunities for rice demand to increase or decrease.
Optimization of distillation column reflux ratio for distillate purity and process energy requirements
Authors: Fitriah Fitriah , Sari Dessy Agustina
Published: October 2024

Recovering ethanol solutions from filtration, extraction, and stripping operations is done in the distillation column, a separation process unit in the carboxymethyl cellulose production plant. Because the ethanol produced by these techniques is produced at a lower concentration, distillation is required to purify the ethanol. This procedure can raise the concentration of ethanol by separating it from the mixture. The concentration of the ethanol solution needs to be 85% in order to be reused. This case study aims to determine the optimal reflux ratio for a distillation column, model the process in both real-world and manual calculation scenarios using Aspen Hysys software, and evaluate the effects of increasing the reflux ratio. Manual computations yielded a reflux ratio result of 0.91814. In the meantime, an ethanol concentration of 85% is produced by the reflux ratio of 1.080 that is derived from the Aspen Hysys simulation. By generating a heat flow of 1.889 x 106 kJ/h, the ideal reflux ratio of 1.080 was reached, whereas the Aspen Hysys simulation yielded a reflux ratio of 0.91814. This allowed for an ethanol concentration of 85%. The Aspen Hysys simulation yields an ethanol concentration of 82.11% and a heat flow of 1.399 x 106 kJ/h. The ethanol concentration and reboiler steam heat flow are impacted by the reflux ratio value, according to the reflux ratio results. The amount of reboiler steam heat generated may become linear with a larger reflux ratio, and the energy required to complete the distillation process may likewise rise.

Authors: Puteri Adelia , Wijaya Triyadi Hendra , Wasito Hendri
Published: October 2024

The Bima Brebes, variety of shallots, was in high demand, which led to mixing with other varieties. Derivative spectrophotometric fingerprinting combined with chemometrics was used to distinguish between authentic and adulterated shallot varieties. The objective of this study was to identify the original spectra and their derivative spectrophotometric fingerprinting, as well as classify and differentiate between shallot varieties using chemometrics. UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry was used to test essential oil samples from three shallot varieties and their mixtures, followed by spectral derivatization. The spectral data revealed distinct patterns for each sample, including individual varieties and mixtures, and was then analyzed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Partial Least Square-Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA). The original spectra and their derivatives showed similarities across the samples. PCA and PLS-DA results indicated that the second-order derivative data provided the greatest separation, with a total Principal Component 1 (PC1) and Principal Component 2 (PC2) value of 62.2%, a total component 1 and 2 value of 60.1%, and the highest Variable Importance in the Projection (VIP) score wavelength of 225 nm. The PLS-DA results were validated to ensure that the model was not overfit, as evidenced by a satisfactory cross-validation quality (Q2/R2) value of 0.693 and a significant permutation test. The combination of derivative spectrophotometry fingerprinting and a chemometric approach effectively classified different samples, allowing for the determination of the authenticity of a specific shallot variety.

Authors: Riandari Fristi , Afrisawati Afrisawati , Afifa Rizky Maulidya , Syahputra Rian , Ginting Ramadhanu
Published: October 2024

This research introduces a dynamic optimization algorithm designed to enhance blockchain network resilience against distributed attacks such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), Sybil, and eclipse attacks. The primary objective is to develop a real-time, adaptive control strategy that minimizes network performance degradation while dynamically responding to evolving threats. The research design integrates multi-objective optimization, game theory, and reinforcement learning to formulate a defense strategy that adapts to adversarial conditions. The methodology is based on a modified state-space model, where the blockchain's performance is represented by a system of dynamic equations influenced by both control actions (defensive measures) and attack vectors. The optimization problem is formulated to minimize a cost function that balances network resilience and resource usage. A numerical example is presented to validate the model, demonstrating the algorithm’s effectiveness in maintaining network performance under attack by adjusting defense mechanisms in real-time. The main results indicate that the proposed method significantly reduces the impact of distributed attacks while ensuring efficient resource allocation. In conclusion, this research offers a novel framework for enhancing blockchain security, with implications for real-world applications in decentralized systems, financial services, and critical infrastructure. Future work will address the scalability of the algorithm and explore more advanced reinforcement learning techniques to handle more complex and unpredictable attack patterns.

Authors: Barretto Denise P , Baustista Andrea , Raya-Ampil Encarnita , Maranion Maria Cristina A
Published: October 2024

Background: COVID-19 was declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2020. It has affected millions globally and remains as a public health concern until today. Objectives: The study aims to identify the prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress among UST hospital frontliners during the COVID-19 pandemic using the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS)-21 scale. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 272 frontliners in a tertiary hospital in Manila, Philippines using the DASS-21 scale. Results: Based on data gathered from the responses of participants using the DASS-21 scale, the prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress among the frontliners were 28.68%, 35.66% and 14.71%, respectively. Being single, living alone, higher degree of educational attainment (postgraduate), trainees (residents and fellows) and those having pulmonary comorbidities were associated with increasing level of depression and stress. Respondents who had less work experience (less than 5 years) had significant depression; being single presented with higher anxiety; and those who had a previous COVID-19 infection had higher degree of stress. Conclusion: Several demographic and occupational characteristics, in accordance to the COVID-19 pandemic, yielded significant results regarding the presence of depression, anxiety and stress. The study recommends closer follow-up of participants which recorded high severity scores in the DASS-21 scale as well as regular psychological briefing and counseling to assess if there are other contributory factors to such responses. Ultimately, this may enlighten us on how to provide holistic care to our own hospital staff. Keywords: COVID-19, Depression, Anxiety, Stress, DASS-21 scale
Pure Red Cell Aplasia Associated With Thymolipoma in a Patient With Myasthenia Gravis: A Case Report
Authors: Agustin Jacqueline Rose E , Mesina Flordeluna Z
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is defined as anemia in the presence of severe reticulocytopenia and absent or markedly decreased erythroid precursors in the marrow. When associated with another disease entity, it is classified as secondary acquired PRCA. A rare entity, thymolipoma, which constitutes 2% to 9% of thymic tumors has been associated with PRCA in some studies. The prevalence of thymolipoma among patients with myasthenia gravis reaches 43.8%. This paper presents the rare presentation of myasthenia gravis associated with thymolipoma and PRCA. Case: We present the case of a 64-year-old female who was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis and has been on maintenance pyridostigmine (Mestinon) for 12 years. She presented with symptoms of anemia and became transfusion requiring. Routine chest CT showed a thymic mass which was confirmed to be a thymolipoma during biopsy. Bone marrow studies confirmed the absence of erythroids, hence the diagnosis of secondary acquired PRCA. Discussion: There have been case reports associating PRCA with thymolipomas. Thymolipomas, which constitute 2% to 9% of thymic tumors are found among patients with myasthenia gravis, but the majority remains asymptomatic despite increasing tumor size. PRCA with associated thymic mass shows improvement of symptoms with tumor removal and immunosuppression. Oral corticosteroids result in a response rate of 39% while cyclosporine results in 77% response. This can be tapered off once response has been achieved. Conclusion: This case report emphasizes the importance of early bone marrow studies among patients with myasthenia gravis presenting with sudden onset anemia. Keywords: pure red cell aplasia, myasthenia gravis, thymolipoma.
Viewpoint: Genicular Nerve Hydrodissection for Knee Osteoarthritis Pain Management

Published: October 2024

Knee pain secondary to knee osteoarthritis is one of the most common reasons for consultation in patients 50 years old and above. Due to limitations of current management options for knee osteoarthritis, studies seeking alternative treatment techniques have emerged, including procedures targeting knee innervation. The effectiveness of nerve hydrodissection for managing neuropathies such as carpal tunnel syndrome has been demonstrated but has not been applied to nerves that innervate the knee to manage osteoarthritis. This article discusses the potential application of ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection to the anterior innervation of the knee, known as the genicular nerves, for pain management in patients with osteoarthritis. Keywords: Knee osteoarthritis, knee pain, nerve hydrodissection, genicular nerves, genicular nerve hydrodissection
Programa Jóvenes y memoria: La agenda del presente a la luz del pasado reciente
Authors:   , Carlos María Matilde
Published: October 2024

Este trabajo busca dar cuenta de algunas aproximaciones para pensar la actualización de la agenda del Programa Jóvenes y Memoria de la Comisión Provincial por la Memoria como correlato de las preocupaciones y urgencias de las nuevas generaciones que participan de dicho programa educativo. Se parte de la premisa de que existe un "deber de memoria" establecido en relación con el terrorismo de estado desplegado por la última dictadura cívico-eclesiástico-militar pero que está siendo reactualizado a la luz de nuevas demandas emergentes de las preocupaciones presentes de lxs estudiantes secundarios: abuso de poder policial/institucional, violencia de género, discriminación, falta de oportunidades de ascenso social, problemáticas ambientales; etc. Pensar a las nuevas generaciones y su relación con los procesos de memoria -relación pasado-presente - en La Plata, ciudad tan marcada por la memoria es un tema en sí mismo, y estudiar cómo emergen allí las novedades cuando se incorporan las nuevas preocupaciones habilita a proponer estudios sobre instituciones escolares y organizaciones sociales de la región que buscan mediante el Programa Jóvenes y Memoria (PJM) ser verdaderos emprendedores de memoria. Se pretende entonces, rastrear en producciones seleccionadas, así como entrevistas a docentes, estudiantes y coordinadores, esas incorporaciones de temas de interés en dicho Programa y ver en qué medida los nuevos interrogantes se relacionan con las urgencias que atraviesan a lxs jóvenes hoy, la idea es ver cuáles son esas interpretaciones de la realidad, de qué manera se inscriben en la continuidad de prácticas de memoria, qué relaciones hacen entre el pasado dictatorial y el presente; cómo las propias realidades socio-culturales condicionan o delinean los temas a abordar en sus producciones dentro del PJM.
máscara no cinema

O presente artigo apresenta a teoria da máscara no cinema, conforme formulada por Mary Ann Doane, com objetivo de sondar sua pertinência enquanto fundamento para um gesto de análise feminista voltado para a construção da subjetividade de personagens mulheres em obras de ficção. A partir da direção de arte no filme Bela vingança (2020), de Emerald Fennell, o artigo busca discutir em que medida a protagonista usa sua feminilidade como artefato de mascaramento que, em suas muitas variações, a permite planejar um processo de vingança como meio de lidar com uma experiência traumática de abuso sexual.

Abstract: Anastomotic leakage is a serious complication following colorectal cancer resection that can increase morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to analyze the potential of the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a predictor of anastomotic leakage in colorectal cancer patients. This was a retrospective analytical and observational study involving 30 patients who underwent colorectal cancer resection and anastomosis at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital in Manado. The NLR values were analyzed preoperatively and on the first (D+1), third (D+3), fifth (D+5), and seventh (D+7) postoperative days. The results showed significant differences in NLR values between leakage and non-leakage groups across all phases (p<0.001). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis yielded optimal NLR cut-offs for leakage prediction: preoperative >2.1150, D+1 >3.4750, D+3 >2.7650, D+5 >3.0200, and D+7 >3.2850, with sensitivity and specificity reaching 100% in several phases. In conclusion, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio has a potential as an accurate predictor of anastomotic leakage, enabling early detection and improved risk management. Further research with larger samples is needed to validate these findings and explore their clinical applications.

Relationship between autonomic and peripheral neuropathies and cardiovascular outcomes in diabetes
Authors: Yun Jae-Seung
Published: October 2024

This review explores the complex relationship between diabetic neuropathy and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Neuropathy, a common complication of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, is divided into autonomic and peripheral types, each impacting cardiovascular health. Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy, a form of autonomic neuropathy, is associated with various CVD complications, including arrhythmias, impaired nocturnal blood pressure regulation, and increased mortality. The prevalence of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy varies depending on the type and duration of diabetes and is influenced by factors like glycemic control and metabolic stress. Peripheral polyneuropathy, which is often linked to diabetic foot disease, is also correlated with elevated CVD risk; research suggests shared pathophysiological mechanisms between peripheral neuropathy and cardiovascular conditions. Screening for neuropathies using tools like the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument and heart rate variability analyses can facilitate early detection of CVD risk. Additionally, emerging technologies, like deep learning models, have demonstrated promise in detecting early cardiovascular patterns associated with autonomic neuropathy through electrocardiogram analysis. These findings underscore the value of integrating novel diagnostic approaches for early intervention. As CVD represents a leading cause of death among patients with diabetes, this article emphasizes the need for thorough assessment and proactive management of neuropathy to mitigate cardiovascular risk. The review recommends a multidisciplinary approach to diabetes care, including early screening, accurate risk stratification, and targeted therapeutic strategies to prevent or slow the progression of CVD in patients with autonomic and peripheral neuropathies. Further research is warranted to clarify the optimal intervention strategies for reducing CVD risk in these populations.

Per una ‘epigrafia comunicata’: itinerari epigrafici nella Roma medievale (XI-XV secolo)
Authors: Annoscia Giorgia
Published: October 2024

The paper illustrates the strategies of a “communicated epigraphy” to the public, adopted in the Sapienza University of Rome project Compitare per via: itineraria epigrafici digitali nella Roma medievale (XI-XV secolo), for which I am the Scientific Director. Using new tools (including the “exploded digital cast”), the micro-stories entrusted to the stone will be read, to trace thematic epigraphic itineraries aimed at recreating the same mechanisms of communicative effectiveness of the past time on the modern user, in order to overcome the well-known dichotomy between epigraphy used as main medium of communication in the ancient world and epigraphy hardly intelligible to the modern eye and which must therefore be “communicated”.
