Features of anemic syndrome in juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Authors: Sukalo A. , Strogaya N.
Published: August 2022

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a systemic chronic disease. One of the extra-articular manifestations of JIA are hematological changes. The most common is anemia. The aim of the study was to explore the indicators of the red blood cells and the state of iron metabolism in children with JIA, depending on the form and duration of the disease. As a result of the study, it was found that the decrease in the iron content in the blood serum is due not only to the true iron deficiency state, but also to the redistribution of iron reserves against the background of chronic autoimmune inflammation.

Authors: Prokhorenko R. , Aliakhnovich N. , Patryna A.
Published: August 2022

Professional sports is a field of human activity where all body systems function in the zone of absolute physiological limits of the body. Good physical fitness of athletes in general was established, with satisfactory indicators in 26%. Disorders in the metabolism of athletes were found, indicating a violation of recovery after physical exertion and injury: a decrease in the atherogenicity index in 70%, the level of uric acid and globulins in 12% of participants; an increase in total and direct bilirubin in 28-32%, creatine phosphokinase in 42%. Increased physical activity affected the T-cell link of immunity (the relative number of T-lymphocytes was reduced in 20%, CD4-T-lymphocytes – in 24%, active T-lymphocytes were increased in 12% of athletes; the immunoregulatory index was increased in 8%, decreased in 14%). The examined athletes were often ill with acute infections – 52% suffered from acute respiratory viral infections, including Covid-19, acute intestinal infections in the last 3 months, 84% – in the last 12 months. Athletes noted a feeling of difficulty breathing after physical exertion (20% – less than several times a week, 4% – several times a week), episodes of suffocation – 10% of athletes, that is, they were at risk of developing bronchial asthma. A direct correlation was found between blood glucose, liver parameters, calcium and creatiphosphokinase levels, and pulse and blood pressure indicators before and after the Roufier test. The levels of creatyphosphokinase and liver parameters were inversely correlated with the number of episodes of difficulty breathing.

Authors: Shipilova N. , Sergeeva I.
Published: August 2022

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) occurs in 15% of adults. The aim of the study was to evaluate the occurrence and clinical features of onychomycosis in patients with CKD receiving hemodialysis. A study comprised 25 patients (51±22 years) with CKD and nail changes with chronic renal failure under haemodialysis and 25 patients (53.6 ± 26.4 years) without CKD. For CKD, «yellow nails» are typical – in 17 (68%), without CKD – longitudinal stripes – in 16 (64%). Onychomycosis was diagnosed in 32% of patients with CKD and 64% without CKD. Out of 8 patients with diabetes mellitus and CKD, 7 had onychomycosis, 1 patient with CKD and onychomycosis did not have diabetes mellitus. For patients with CKD, the OSI index was 12 [9; 14], SCIO 10 [8; 12], without CKD: OSI – 16 [12; 17], SCIO – 12 [10; 15]. Onychomycosis in patients with CKD is less common than in patients without CKD, which indicates a lesser significance of nail infection with fungi in the development of their changes in patients under hemodialysis.

Simulation and Genetic Algorithms to Improve the Performance of an Automated Manufacturing Line
Authors: Ruane Patrick , Walsh Patrick , Cosgrove John
Published: August 2022

Simulation in manufacturing is often applied in situations where conducting experiments on a real system is very difficult often because of cost or the time to carry out the experiment is too long. Optimization is the organized search for such designs and operating modes to find the best available solution from a set of feasible solutions. It determines the set of actions or elements that must be implemented to achieve an optimized manufacturing line. As a result of being able to concurrently simulate and optimize equipment processes, the understanding of how the actual production system will perform under varying conditions is achieved. The author has adopted an open-source simulation tool (JaamSim) to develop a digital model of an automated tray loader manufacturing system in the Johnson & Johnson Vision Care (JJVC) manufacturing facility. This paper demonstrates how a digital model developed using JaamSim was integrated with an author developed genetic algorithm optimization system and how both tools can be used for the optimization and development of an automated manufacturing line in the medical devices industry.
Applications of periodic structures and metamaterials for antenna design
Authors: Prukner Péter , Kuczmann Miklós
Published: August 2022

Nowadays, wireless telecommunication is playing an increasing role in almost every field. With the spread of IoT and 5G technologies, all electronic devices will communicate over a network and millions of devices can be connected to each other over such network. Due to this, the number of base stations will also increase significantly. As a result, even more antennas will be installed both indoors and outdoors. It follows that the use of smaller and more compact antennas and simpler and more reliable parameter tuning are of great importance to service providers as well as to equipment manufacturers, both in terms of design and antenna selection. Metamaterials are sub-wavelength structures that act as a homogeneous material to create electromagnetic properties that would not be possible with conventional materials. With the help of today's modern design and manufacturing technologies, it is possible to implement and manufacture such structures. In this article, the theoretical background and application possibilities of periodic structures and materials are presented, followed by the tuning of a split ring resonator and its application on a patch antenna.
Carcass and meat quality of broiler chickens reared on herb residues
Authors: Lokaewmanee K. , Sirival R.
Published: August 2022

This study was conducted to determine the effects of herb residues on carcass and meat quality in broilers. A total of 160 chicks were divided into four groups, each with four replicates of 10 chicks; the chicks were provided ad libitum access to a control diet or the same diet supplemented with Zingiber cassumunar, Kaempferia galangal, or Curcuma aromatica residues at 0.3% feed. At 42 days of age, 20 chicks from each group were slaughtered, and the carcass and meat quality were determined. All exper-imental groups demonstrated lower abdominal fat weight, and the K. galangal group had a significantly higher total visceral organ weight than that of the control group (P<0.05). The experimental groups demonstrated improved color of the breast muscle, breast fillet muscle, skin, and abdominal fat (P<0.05). The shear force value of the breast muscle increased in the K. galangal group, whereas that of the thigh muscle increased in all experimental groups (P< 0.05). The highest overall acceptability of raw and cooked chicken breast meat was produced by 0.3% C. aromatica residue supplementation (P<0.05). These finding suggest that the inclusion of 0.3% C. aromatica residue in the diets resulted in improved overall acceptability of breast meat without negatively affecting dressing percentage.

La intervención y la planificación de la vivienda en la formalidad o la informalidad
Authors: Echeverria Mishell
Published: August 2022

La arquitectura es un reflejo de la sociedad, y cambia, al igual que van cambiando el pensamiento filosófico, la política y la economía. Actualmente, la sociedad es más diversa, menos jerárquica, lo que lleva a cambios en las estructuras sociales; por ende, la concepción de la vivienda también debe ser diferente, y se replantea el bienestar de los individuos a futuro. La misma vivienda ha evolucionado: con la influencia de los procesos de modernización se ha convertido en una mercancía, y su análisis se realiza generalmente desde los aspectos técnicos, formales y económicos, dejando de lado los problemas sociales y la falta de satisfacción de las necesidades del habitar, lo que causa un incremento del déficit cualitativo en la problemática habitacional; sobre todo, en los países latinoamericanos. Desde la noción bourdiana del habitus se pretende entender cómo cada individuo ordena su espacio y produce domesticidad, pues al entender a los individuos y sus necesidades se puede intervenir y proyectar a futuro, lo que lleva a repensar el rol de la arquitectura, que a veces solo trata al objeto arquitectónico como un elemento físico. La arquitectura tiene un aporte en el ámbito social, y se puede incluir la participación de los usuarios en la planificación y la intervención de la vivienda, donde afloren las necesidades, las experiencias y, sobre todo, el sentimiento de empoderamiento del lugar.
Revisión del buen uso de las palabras clave en las revistas de arquitectura iberoamericanas, en cuanto a frecuencia y tendencia
Authors: Cereghino-Fedrigo Anna Maria
Published: August 2022

La importancia del buen uso de las palabras clave como metadato de un artículo científico es cada día más relevante como elemento de identificación en los sistemas de indexación. Hoy en día las revistas científicas están migrando del papel a los medios electrónicos, y así mismo, las consultas por parte de los usuarios; por consiguiente, esto obliga a que la calidad de las palabras clave sea más asertiva en su escogencia. La Revista de Arquitectura (Bogotá) busca identificar los problemas de la investigación de la comunidad disciplinar en cuanto a la estructuración de los artículos de investigación; así, ha identificado que las palabras clave no llegan a tener el impacto esperado como elemento fundamental del manuscrito, si se entiende que estas pueden llegar a ser un elemento de valor para la asertiva visibilidad de la publicación.
Con base en lo anterior, se hizo el levantamiento de las palabras clave más utilizadas en las publicaciones periódicas seriadas de arquitectura en el contexto hispanoparlante, entre 2017 y 2021. Se las clasificó en cinco grupos temáticos, y se verificó la frecuencia de uso por cada grupo. Las de mayor frecuencia se consultaron en Scopus, y así se obtuvo por cada grupo temático una nueva serie de palabras clave. Las palabras de mayor frecuencia de ambos estudios se compararon respetando los grupos temáticos, para luego ser revisadas en motor de tendencia, y así se establecieron su frecuencia de búsqueda y, por ende, su impacto y su tendencia en 2021. Se concluye que el buen uso de las palabras clave es un elemento fundamental en la comunicación de un artículo, pues la atención prestada a la frecuencia y la tendencia de uso puede llegar a determinar la visibilidad de dicho artículo, y así aumentar su impacto en cuanto a citación; así mismo, comprender el rol del editor como garante de la divulgación de la investigación, y en cuanto a la apropiación que puede llegar a tener el lector del artículo, entendido este último como el que consulta y cita los artículos de investigación propuestos desde la arquitectura.
Dostosowanie wymagań edukacyjnych do możliwości uczniów ze specjalnymi potrzebami na lekcjach języka angielskiego a test ósmoklasisty
Authors: Paluch Magdalena
Published: August 2022

The last decade has seen rapid growth in the number of students with special educational needs (SEN). The aim of inclusive education is to provide all students with equal public education. To facilitate the learning process for students with SEN changes and modifications to requirements are implemented by language teachers. At the same time, these students take the final exam at the end of year eight of their primary education, where the main and almost only adjustment is extended time to write the exam. This article has two main aims. The first is to compare the legal requirements for educational adaptations in the Polish education system. The second is to show, on the basis of a case study, that lack of coherence between the different regulations affects the results achieved by the students in their final exams.

Authors: Garkaby Jenny , Scott Ori , Fuentes Laura Abrego , Vong Linda , Pachul Jessica Willett , Pereira Myra , Kim Vy Hong-Diep , Roifman Chaim M.
Published: August 2022

Background: Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, a main challenge for clinicians and public health decision-makers has revolved around risk stratification in vulnerable populations, in particular individuals with inborn errors of immunity (IEI). However, available reports of the clinical course of COVID-19 in patients with IEI show wide variability, from a complete lack of symptoms to severe and complicated disease.

Objective: To present the clinical features and outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection in adult patients with IEI.

Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review documenting patient characteristics and clinical course of SARS-CoV-2 infection between December 2021 and July 2022.

Results: Ten adult patients with IEI followed in our center were diagnosed with COVID-19, as determined by RT-PCR or rapid antigen testing. IEI in this cohort included those with humoral and combined immunodeficiencies, as well as phagocytic defects. An underlying lung comorbidity was identified in 3 patients. Symptoms were mostly mild and self-limiting, and no severe outcomes, complications, or mortality were noted in this study.

Conclusions: We suggest that patients affected by a wide range of both humoral and combined IEI may demonstrate resilience, while highlighting the possible protective effects of vaccination and immunoglobulin replacement in this population.

Statement of Novelty: We report on the mild COVID-19 clinical course of 10 adults with IEI.
“...in Sickness and in Health” Pollux of Naucratis and Papyri
Authors: Litinas Nikos
Published: August 2022

This article is based on the study of two arguably different sources concerning the words which describe sickness and health: (1) the clusters of these words as they were compiled by Pollux of Naucratis at the end of the second century A.D., and (2) the various phrases or terms attested in the everyday language of the Greek papyri coming from Egypt, dated to the entire Greco-Roman period (III B.C.-VIII A.D.). The study of this converging, so to speak, of the two sources produces interesting results concerning the use of words used broadly in all aspects of one’s life, as recorded in various contexts. These range from the simplest and brief texts, such as memoranda, to classical literature, dated to various periods and attributed to various levels of literacy.

Published: August 2022

Objectives

Moving average quality control (MA QC) is a patient-based real-time quality control system. Advantages compared to conventional periodic internal quality control (IQC) include absence of commutability problems and continuous monitoring of performance. We implemented MA QC for multiple routine hematology and chemistry parameters. We describe the evaluation process and provide practical tools to aid MA QC implementation.

Methods

Nine parameters (serum sodium, calcium, bicarbonate and free thyroxine, hemoglobin [Hb], mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration [MCHC], reticulocyte count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate [ESR]) were chosen for initial consideration. Using data extractions from the laboratory information system (LIS; General Laboratory Information Management System), evaluation of usefulness and optimization of MA QC settings was performed using bias detection curves. After this, MA QC settings were incorporated in our LIS for further evaluation and implementation in routine care.

Results

Three out of nine parameters (Hb, ESR, and sodium) were excluded from MA QC implementation due to high variation and technical issues in the LIS. For the six remaining parameters, MA QC showed added value to IQC and was therefore implemented in the LIS. For three parameters a direct MA alarm work-up method was set up, including newly developed built-in features in the LIS. For the other parameters, we identified MA utilization beyond real-time monitoring.

Conclusions

Implementation of MA QC has added value for our laboratory setting. Additional utilization beyond real-time QC monitoring was identified. We find MA QC especially useful for trend monitoring, detection of small shifts after maintenance and inter-analyzer comparisons.
A high angle stable and polarization symmetric dual band reconfigurable frequency selective surface
Authors: Shah Gulab , Abidin Zain Ul , Cao Qunsheng
Published: August 2022

A dual band reconfigurable active frequency selective surface is designed which resonates at 2.5 and 3.6 GHz as transmission pole frequencies. Lower and upper pass bands have −3 dB bandwidths of 0.4 and 0.5 GHz, respectively. Two notch frequencies are configured from 4.71 to 3.5 GHz and from 2.78 to 2.45 GHz. Dimensions of the unit cell are optimized toλ0/10 calculated at the lowest resonance. The proposed design exhibits insignificant variation at oblique excitation angles until 75° of dual polarized plane wave. An equivalent circuit model is developed for optimization and vivid understanding of the structure behaviour. A prototype of the designed structure is fabricated and the measured response is in satisfactory agreement with the simulated transmission response. High angle stability, low insertion loss at both the transmission pole frequencies, dual band pass/stop tuning for single and dual polarized wave with use of only two varactor diodes are eminent features of the design.
Does dexamethasone inhibit glucose oxidase: an analysis in kinetics and molecular study
Authors: Majd Edris , Minai-Tehrani Dariush , Mollasalehi Hamidreza
Published: August 2022

Objectives

Glucose oxidase is an enzyme that is widely used in biosensors, especially kits for measuring blood sugar. Many diabetics use this type of kit to determine their blood sugar level. Aspergillus niger is the most important source of glucose oxidase for use in biosensors. Diabetes causes secondary diseases in patients for which medications are prescribed to improve them. Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, is one of the drugs prescribed to diabetics to cure some secondary diseases. In this study, the effect of this drug on glucose oxidase was investigated from a kinetic and molecular point of view.

Methods

In this study, the kinetics of drug binding to the enzyme was measured and the type of inhibition was determined by Lineweaver-Burk plot. The Ki value of the drug was determined by drawing the secondary curve. Using fluorescence spectrophotometry and molecular docking, the binding of the drug to the enzyme was confirmed.

Results

The results showed that the drug inhibits the enzyme non-competitively. Determining the kinetics parameters of the drug-enzyme interaction showed that the drug acts as a potent inhibitor. Study at the molecular level by fluorescence spectrophotometer showed that the drug attachment alters the enzyme conformation to more compaction. In silico results showed that the drug is placed between two helices that are outside the active site and binds to the enzyme by three hydrogen bonds.

Conclusions

The result of this study is useful because it suggests that in diabetic patients taking dexamethasone, the amount of glucose declared by the kit may not be real due to the inhibition of glucose oxidase.

(Im)politeness on Facebook during the Covid-19 pandemic
Authors: Tsoumou Jean Mathieu
Published: August 2022

Digital discourse has emerged as a substantial focus of interest within the pragmatic field. Specifically, (im)politeness practices on social media have increasingly received scholarly attention in the last decade (Tagg, Caroline, Philip Seargeant & Amy Aisha Brown. 2017. Taking offence on social media. Conviviality and conviviality and communication on Facebook. Switzerland: Springer Nature, Palgrave McMillan; Tsoumou, Jean Mathieu. 2020. Analyzing speech acts in politically related Facebook communication. Journal of Pragmatics 167. 80–97). However, research combining COVID-19, Facebook and (im)politeness in a politically polarizing context is still scarce. This paper is an analysis of (im)politeness in Facebook comments posted as reactions to Giuliani’s COVID diagnosis. Thus, by combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, the aim of the present paper is twofold: On the one hand, it intends to further our understanding of the manifestation of (im)politeness practices on Facebook through an analysis of reactive comments to Giuliani’s Covid-19 diagnosis on BBC news Facebook page. On the other hand, the paper aims to examine how the struggle between impoliteness and politeness divides Facebook users between sympathizers and detractors of the patient. Through a metadiscursive analysis, the identified (im)politeness items are distributed in an uneven fashion, with impoliteness-oriented items prevailing as the dominant macro category against politeness-oriented ones. The findings suggest that users employ different strategies to express or intensify (im)politeness, favoring explicit expressions of impoliteness such as redress/agreement, insults, pointed criticisms/complaints, unpalatable questions and/or presuppositions over others like threats.
Do Mothers and Fathers in Germany Really Prefer a Traditional Division of Labor? The Impact of Working Hours on Life Satisfaction Reconsidered
Authors: Heyne Stefanie , Wolbring Tobias
Published: August 2022

This study critically reexamines previous results on the effects of working hours on life satisfaction. First, we replicate the original results which suggest that a traditional division of labor maximizes fathers’ and mothers’ well-being. Loosening parametric restrictions, avoiding confounding by childbirth, and taking East-West differences into account in a second step, we find that (1) fathers are most satisfied when working between 35 and 60 hours per week, (2) mothers are more satisfied with their life when working at least ~25 hours per week as compared to not working, and (3) different arrangement of labor division among mothers and fathers lead to similar levels of life satisfaction. Thus, in contrast to what has been suggested by the original study, our replication reveals that the male breadwinner model is not the sole way to maximize parents’ well-being.

Authors:   Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, Pushkarev Yury Viktorovich , Pushkareva Elena Aleksandrovna ,   Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University
Published: August 2022

Introduction. The article examines the formation of cognitive foundations of individual’s intellectual potential and their ability to reflect and introspect. The purpose of the study is to determine and evaluate the characteristic features of the development of reflexive personality skills in the conditions of distance educational technologies. Materials and Methods. The methodology of the research includes a conceptual analysis and reviewing research papers focusing on cognitive development of the individual, the assessment of this development in a distance educational environment, and the specifics of the manifestation of reflexive cognitive processes. The philosophy of education as a methodological basis of the research involves the identification, evaluation and generalization of the main features of the development of reflexive individual skills in the conditions of distance educational technologies. Results. The authors consider reflection in the education system, on the one hand, as a process of understanding knowledge and information through study and comparison, on the other hand, as a principle of human thinking aimed at self-understanding and self-examination. The main content of a person's reflexive ability as a cognitive ability for critical self-examination is presented: developed human abilities to recognize and solve complex mental problems, developed imagination; an aptitude to introspection and critical thinking. The authors have identified the key problems in the development of reflexive personality skills in the conditions of distance educational technologies. They include a decrease in the quality of assimilation and understanding of information and knowledge; difficulties in retaining attention and implementing reflection in general; problems in the formation and implementation of personality self-organization, the development of self-control skills, the development of uncertainty in the positive result of cognitive activity and in their own capabilities. It is emphasized that the dissonance in the development of reflexive personality skills in the conditions of distance learning technologies contributes to a restrained attitude to online learning. Conclusions. The authors summarize the main features of the development of reflexive personality skills in the conditions of distance educational technologies.
Opportunities for the implementation of career lift technology in higher educational institutions
Authors:   Ural State University of Economics, Pesha Anastasiya Vladimirovna
Published: August 2022

Introduction. The article is devoted to the involvement of higher education stakeholders in the process of building students and graduates’ careers. The purpose of the article is to summarize modern ideas about the phenomenon of ‘a career lift’ and present author's views on the possibilities of implementing a career lift technology in higher educational institutions. Materials and Methods. The paper presents a subject-centered conceptual model of implementing the career lift technology, based on the methodology of systemic, subject-activity and environmental approaches to scientific cognition. The research methods included etymological and bibliographic analysis used to summarize and clarify the concepts of ‘career’ and ‘career lift’. The modeling method was employed for the complex study and reproduction of the structure and the properties of the career lift technology in universities. Results. The author presented an analysis of existing world approaches to the interpretation of the concept of ‘career’, summarized their main features and presented a clarified definition of this phenomenon. Based on the etymological and bibliographic analysis of the concepts ‘career’, ‘lift’ and ‘career lift’, reflected in dictionaries and scholarly literature (both Russian and international), the author proposed and justified her approach interpreting the career lift phenomenon. As a result, the author proposed two ways of interpreting the concept of the career lift. According to the first one, a career lift is a type of career building chosen by a person. The second one considers career lift as a technology of career support for students, graduates, and professionals. Based on the analysis and personal experience, the author developed and justified a subject-centered model of the career lift technology, implemented in several stages related to individual goals of a person as a subject of education. It is important to note that the model contains links between student's goals and goals and activities of higher education institutions and other stakeholders. The author argues that all the components of each level relatively exist as independent, since they always act interconnected with each other. Conclusions. The author concludes that the subject-centered implementation of the career lift technology, based on the principles of consistency, flexibility, individual and environmental determination, and multidimensionality, is designed to ensure the effectiveness of actions and interactions within its structure.
El poder, ¿maquinaria de gobierno?
Authors: Bohórquez Carlos
Published: August 2022

El propósito del presente artículo es mostrar las emergencias del concepto de gobierno en el concepto de poder en Foucault y aplicarlas a la contingencia actual del covid-19. El gobierno y el poder operan de manera conjunta, aunque mantienen sus diferencias. El primero se centra en el cuidado de los hombres; el segundo se ocupa de las relaciones de fuerza que los atraviesa y controla. Ambos comprenden mecanismos de vigilancia que obran de manera táctica y estratégica. No hacen referencia a una cuestión prohibitiva o cuidado del territorio, sino que hay toda una maquinaria que interviene de manera sagaz sobre los hombres.
Representación del poder y la clase social en la nomenclatura vial de la ciudad de Guadalajara, México
Authors: Escobar Hernández Bogar , Valadez Marahdez Angélica
Published: August 2022

En el presente trabajo se analizaron los nombres de algunas de las principales calles de Guadalajara, capital del estado de Jalisco y ciudad representativa de la cultura mexicana, bajo la premisa de que por medio de la nomenclatura vial se pueden rastrear determinadas conductas desarrolladas por las élites, las cuales, a partir de su posición de liderazgo, han determinado la selección de los personajes o situaciones históricos asignados a dichas vialidades. Los mismos que han sido elegidos a partir de un sistema de ideas con pretensiones hegemónicas por medio del cual dichas élites han procurado legitimar y fortalecer sus privilegios dentro de la sociedad. Se trata de un estudio en el que se devela el rostro del poder y la clase social en una esfera del espacio público en apariencia anodina, el nombre de la calle que se recorre e manera cotidiana, sin sospecha del trasfondo ideológico que puede ejercer en nuestra visión del entorno en el que vivimos.

Authors: Fernández Fernández Jakeline , Vaca Pardo Laura Natalia , Astaiza Bravo Franci Yorline
Published: August 2022

La investigación acción participativa (IAP), la historia de origen y la tradición oral son herramientas que contribuyen al proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje de la lectura y la escritura, mediante estrategias que enriquecen el trabajo en el aula. La vinculación entre educación tradicional y métodos alternativos configura una herramienta importante para la pedagogía en los niños, niñas y adolescentes, pues retoma el diálogo de saberes entre las familias de la comunidad del resguardo indígena de Paletará (Cauca, Colombia), quienes ponen en común sus prácticas culturales y vivencias ancestrales desde el espacio tradicional del fogón para transmitirlas de generación en generación. Como resultado de esta investigación, estudiantes de dos instituciones educativas ubicadas en Paletará mejoraron sus capacidades de lectura, escritura y comunicación, mediante el desarrollo de talleres en los que compartieron historias de origen de su pueblo, afianzando de forma más dinámica los imaginarios colectivos, reflejados en la revitalización y recuperación de prácticas ancestrales y culturales de los espacios propios. Como resultado de esta experiencia, se logró despertar el interés por los hábitos de la lectura y la escritura entre los niños, niñas y adolescentes participantes en el proyecto, en especial por los relatos e historias que describen la vida cultural del pueblo indígena Kokonuko.

The following writing intends to show the need for an analogical rationality in the so-called post-structuralist authors such as the French Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze together with the Algerian Jacques Derrida. The text will show why, beyond being neo-structuralists, these authors are poststructuralists, and in this sense, it will reflect on a possible way out for this philosophical current. One cannot lose sight of the influence of those considered to be structuralist authors, such as: Saussure, Chomsky, Piaget, Lévi-Strauss or Barthes, since in them is found the origin of the critical project that the post-structuralists continued.

Objetivo: Evaluar los datos demográficos, como edad, sexo, profesión, lado afectado, lesión única o múltiple, tipo de material utilizado, tiempo de cicatrización ósea y posibles complicaciones de los pacientes con fracturas diafisarias de húmero tratados mediante la técnica MIPO en tres centros hospitalarios de Ecuador, Paraguay y Brasil.

Materiales y Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo, longitudinal, observacional de los datos de 133 pacientes recolectados en tres Servicios: de Quito (Ecuador), Asunción (Paraguay) y Passo Fundo (Brasil). Se compararon las distribuciones entre diferentes Servicios mediante la prueba x2 de Pearson.

Resultados: La edad de los pacientes varió entre 17 y 76 años, con una media de 36 años. El tiempo promedio hasta la consolidación fue de 11 semanas (126 de 132 pacientes). Predominó el sexo masculino (70,45%), el lado derecho era el más afectado (55,3%), la mayoría de las fracturas eran únicas (85,61%), se logró la consolidación en el 95,45%. Solo el 9,09% tuvo complicaciones y el 6,82% fueron severas. El 87,12% no tuvo complicaciones; el 0,76% sufrió neuropraxia posquirúrgica; el 3,03%, infección y el 4,55%, seudoartrosis.

Conclusión: Con la técnica MIPO para el tratamiento de las fracturas diafisarias de húmero, las tasas decomplicaciones y de morbilidad son bajas, y la tasa de consolidación es buena.
Tenodesis suprapectoral del bíceps. Resultados clínicos
Authors: Patiño Juan Martín , Cabrera Enrique Sebastián
Published: August 2022

Objetivo: Evaluar los resultados de la tenodesis suprapectoral mediante un miniabordaje en una serie de pacientes con lesión SLAP y desgarros completos de la porción larga del bíceps, y compararlos con los valores prequirúrgicos.

Materiales y Métodos: Se incluyeron pacientes adultos tratados con dicha técnica entre 2019 y 2020, y un seguimiento mínimo de un año. Se registraron las características demográficas, la indicación de cirugía, el retorno a las actividades consideradas habituales por el paciente y las complicaciones. Se utilizó el puntaje ASES para hombro, y se midió la movilidad activa del hombro afectado. Además, se le preguntó al paciente si retomó la actividad que consideraba habitual, con opciones “sí” o “no”. Se consignó si los pacientes reconocían un evento traumático con el inicio de los síntomas y se registró el diagnóstico con el que se llegó a la cirugía.

Resultados: Se evaluó a 8 pacientes (7 hombres), con una mediana de la edad de 42.5 años. El seguimiento fue de 17 meses (RIC 13.5-21.5). Seis (75%) tenían diagnóstico de lesión SLAP tipo II y dos (25%), de desgarro completo. Seis pacientes (75%) asociaron los síntomas con un evento traumático. Las medianas de los rangos de movilidad finales fueron: flexión 180° (RIC 170°-180°), rotación interna 65° (RIC 60°-75°) y rotación externa 70° (RIC 5°-87,5°).

Conclusión: La tenodesis suprapectoral tras una tenotomía artroscópica para casos de lesión SLAP tipo II o de desgarros completos de la porción larga del bíceps resultó una técnica segura y con resultados funcionales.

¿Se atrapa antes a un mentiroso que a un cojo? Mentira, engaño, sinceridad y verdad en Los ensayos de Michel de Montaigne
Authors: Raga Rosaleny Vicente
Published: August 2022

Los estudios actuales sobre la mentira priman su lado epistémico y desatienden los aspectos morales. Tal distinción es clara en los intentos de diferenciar la mentira de la intención de engañar, y tienen como contrapartida una concepción de la verdad realista. Por ello, las interpretaciones que cuestionan o minimizan la existencia de la Verdad tienden a ser rechazadas, y parece que tampoco podrían abordar satisfactoriamente la mentira. En este artículo cuestionaremos dicha asunción, mostrando cómo un autor del Renacimiento, Michel de Montaigne, sostiene una perspectiva “negadora” de la verdad y critica la mentira, precisamente destacando su dimensión moral.
¿Libertad de qué? La Libertad social o el reconocimiento mutuo como condición de posibilidad de las Capacidades
Authors: Cáceda Adrianzen Julio
Published: August 2022

Se argumentará que, para expandir las capacidades de todos, hay que promover que los individuos, partiendo de su reconocimiento mutuo, auto contraigan sus elecciones para acomodarse y promover las libertades de otros y así lograr sus propios objetivos. Esta auto contracción no restringe la libertad, sino que la posibilita. Se partirá del diálogo entre las distintas concepciones de Libertad del Enfoque de Capacidades y Libertad Social, de Honneth. Se planteará que la Libertad consistirá en poder moverse entre sus distintas concepciones, respondiendo a las distintas prácticas sociales de reconocimiento en las que se desarrolla.
Catalytic dehydration of ethanol to ethylene over HMOR HZSM-5 modified with copper and iron
Authors: Agudelo José Luis , Montes de Correa Consuelo
Published: August 2022

Catalytic dehydration of ethanol to ethylene on HMOR (Si/Al = 6.5), HZSM-5 (Si/Al = 29), Cu-HZSM-5 (Si/Al = 98) and Fe-HZSM-5 (Si/Al = 151) was studied at atmospheric pressure and 120°C - 300°C. ZSM-5 supported catalysts were active at temperatures over 260°C, achieving more than 60% conversion. Ethylene was predominantly produced as a dehydration product. Incorporating Cu did not significantly improve catalytic activity compared to HZSM-5. H-MOR was very active at low temperatures but deactivated rapidly at 240°C, most probably due to coke formation.
Extracting ECG signal characteristics based on non-linear transformations and wavelets
Authors: Montes Victoria Eugenia , Guarín Gustavo A , Castellanos Domínguez Germán
Published: August 2022

Different extraction methods were compared regarding the characteristics of normal ECG signals and those emitted in the presence of events related to ischemic cardiopathy based on diagnosis measurements, wavelet transformation and nonlinear analysis of main components. Methods were developed for automatic recognition between normal and ischemic ECG signals. Two effective feature selection techniques were proposed; one used multivariate statistical methods and the second univariate ones. Linear discriminatory evaluation and vector support machines were used for evaluating the proposed feature extraction techniques, comparing error when classifying different states of cardiac functionality. Nonlinear PCA offered slightly better performance compared to wavelet representation but was much better compared to diagnosis measurement. There was up to 0.22% error compared to 6.78% in the case of wavelets and 24.22% in the case of diagnostic measurements. Support vector machines increased the performance for all analysed feature extraction methods; more discriminating characteristics were obtained when using wavelets applied to heartbeat having up to 0.1% classification precision compared to 0.12% in the case of nonlinear analysis of main components and 5.11% in the case of diagnostic measurements.
A bibliographic review of mathematical models of packed-bed biological reactors (PBR)
Authors: Corredor Deisy , Caicedo Luis Alfonso
Published: August 2022

Several authors have subjected packed-bed biological reactors to mathematical and theoretical analysis. They have taken reaction kinetics and single-dimensional, homogeneous, pseudo-homogeneous and heterogeneous models into account. Numerical methods have provided the set of equations so developed. The effect of physically important process variables in terms of design and operation have been investigated (i.e. residence time, operating-flow, substrate conversion, bio-film area and film thickness).
