Published: June 2022

Background: The living-donor transplantation (LDT) is essential to provide patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) a superior quality of life and improve their lifespan. Recent investigations prove that the living donors (LD) have a risk of developing CKD, without there being a way to anticipate it. The zero-time biopsies provide valuable information that may contribute to this objective since they report histopathologic findings of subclinical chronic damage. Methods: Retrospective, observational and analytical study. The information from the medical files and pathology department of LD attended at “Dr. Miguel Silva” general hospital from January 2006 to January 2018 was analyzed. The glomerular filtrate rate was obtained 24 hours and a year after nephrectomy and was estimated based on CDK-EPI. The comparison among groups was made through Mann-Whitney testing for continuous numeric. A value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: A total of 56 medical files were studied, 29 of which had a report of biopsy, the general prevalence of histologic anomalies was 65%. We found that those patients that showed a lower value in the GFR after 24 hours also showed lower GFR the next year, likewise a narrow and statistically significant correlation between the creatinine levels in the immediate post-operative period and the following year was found. In the same way, we found that the higher the dropping rate of GFR after 24 hours of nephrectomy, the lower the GFR a year after donation being statistically significant. It was decided to divide the sample into two groups (with and without histological alterations), it was found that a year later the GFR in the group with histological damage was less (75.6±21.7 ml/min/1.73 m2) compared to the group without damage (85.2±11.6 ml/min/1.73 m2) with a p<0.05 (Figure 4) and finally, there is association between the age group and the GFR the year after donation.Conclusions: Among the candidates for LDT, the zero-time biopsy alterations, the age >36 years, the dropping of the GFR >43%, the GFR and the creatinine levels after 24 hours of nephrectomy were associated with a reduction of the GFR the year after nephrectomy.

Alcance del control judicial de los actos administrativos del regulador del sector eléctrico en Colombia
Authors: Rey Ortiz Andrés Eduardo
Published: June 2022

El alcance del control judicial a los actos administrativos expedidos por las autoridades regulatorias plantea importantes tensiones. La presente investigación encuentra que este control realmente oscila entre un control pleno y la deferencia judicial, escenario en el que la asimetría de información que detenta el regulador y aquella de que dispone el juez juega un papel fundamental. La calidad regulatoria como un proceso cualificado durante la expedición de la regulación permitiría reducir esta asimetría, lo que puede tener consecuencias importantes sobre la forma en que los jueces abordan las controversias que estos actos suscitan. La imposición del respeto de las exigencias derivadas de la calidad regulatoria a autoridades como la Comisión de Regulación de Energía y Gas (CREG), hace que el juez cuente con mayor información y, de este modo, facilita el control de sus actos.

​Systemic Acquired Resistance vs Induced Systemic Resistance: A Review
Authors: Sharma Sachin , Kumar Pardeep , Singh Amar
Published: June 2022

SAR and ISR are key acquired resistances in plants that play major role in imparting resistance to plants against various pathogens namely bacteria, virus, nematodes etc. The increasing awareness towards chemicals has led scientists to work on new mechanism of resistances. Both SAR and ISR are of future perspective for disease management. SAR require salicylic acid as transport molecule along with other complexes that include reactive oxygen species, lipid molecules whereas ISR require Jasmonic acid as signal molecule. SAR is more long lasting and broad spectrum as compared to ISR. Non-pathogenic bacteria and insectivores induce ISR. In future, disease management will be more focused on ISR and SAR.

The purpose of this research is to seek the opinions of primary school teachers in order to investigate the pedagogical conditions for the development of educational independence of primary school students. The research was prepared in accordance with the qualitative research method. Research data were collected with a semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers. The participant group of the research consists of 80 primary school teachers working in various primary schools in Kazakhstan in the 2021–2022 academic year. As a result of the research, it was revealed that the majority of primary school teachers found students’ independent learning skills partially sufficient. Primary school teachers determined the role of families in the development of students’ independent learning skills as encouraging role, directing role, participation role and modelling role. Primary school teachers determined the role of teachers in the development of students’ independent learning skills as the role of providing independent learning skills, the role of developing independent learning skills, the role of approaching the right method, the role of supporting independent learning with in-class activities and the role of implementing technology-supported activities. Primary school teachers’ suggestions for the development of pedagogical conditions for students to gain independent learning skills are divided into five categories, i.e., creating a suitable school environment, creating a suitable classroom environment, teacher–parent cooperation, organising in-service trainings for teachers and organising seminars for families.

Published: June 2022

The study aim is to identify the opportunities for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) educational sector during COVID-19. A survey was conducted among a sample of 100 teachers from 20 UAE higher education institutions. Teachers use online learning tools that cannot fully provide the benefits of face-to-face meetings with students. The research methodology is based on primary and secondary data analysis. Teacher questionnaire was formed; it contains 9 questions on distance learning actualization in a pandemic. Only 25% of those surveyed agreed with the inclusiveness and ease of remote learning technologies use, 20% expected that after a lockdown, learning could return to the status quo; 55% disagreed that the technologies used stimulate creativity and have an evidence base. Among key findings are that almost all respondents (95%) see the necessary reform of distance education for its further adaptation in the post-COVID-19 period. The study shows a significant imperfection of the applied online learning technologies. Studies from around the world have shown that school shutdowns have had similar consequences for most education systems.

Duelo y autoficción. Reflexiones generales y una lectura de Camas gemelas (2020) de Paola Caballero Daza
Authors: López González de Orduña Helena
Published: June 2022

En este artículo quiero reflexionar sobre dos cuestiones. Por un lado, y desde un punto de vista teórico, examinaré la relación entre el género literario de la autoficción y la noción de duelo. Por otro lado, pondré en diálogo estas elaboraciones teóricas para llevar a cabo una lectura feminista, reparativa (Sedgwick) y afectiva de la novela Camas gemelas (2020) de la escritora colombiana Paola Caballero Daza, en donde es recurrente la presencia de la autoficción. Este tipo de metodología posibilita la comprensión de un régimen particular de memoria ―la autoficción como forma de un duelo imposible― que genera significados irreductibles a los marcos de sentido social convencionales.
Las versiones de Flor de fuego y Flor del dolor de Santiago Sierra: del ocultismo al espiritismo kardeciano
Authors:   Universidad Pedagógica Nacional, Suárez Turriza Tatiana
Published: June 2022

This article analyzes, from the perspective of textual criticism, two stories by the Campeche writer Santiago Sierra (1850-1880): “Flor de fuego” and “Flor del dolor,” which are part of the series that he published under the title “Flores.” This work is intended to contribute to the construction of the genetic history of these texts, through the exposition and interpretation of the significant author variants that exist between the first version, which appeared in the Veracruz newspaper Violetas, in 1869, and the second and last version published in the pages of El Domingo, between 1871 and 1872. The comparison of the two versions of these “Flores” reveals interesting variants that allow us to appreciate the transition in his aesthetic proposal from the assimilation of the doctrine of Allan Kardec. The study shows the process of transformation from the occultist substrate to the spiritualist, as the foundation of the fantastic or the supernatural in the stories.

Graphing the King’s Voice : Reconstruction of Kyujangjŏnun through Network Visualization
Authors:   The Research Of The Korean Classic, Yoo Jamie Jungmin , Sung Ki-ho
Published: June 2022

This paper is aimed to visualize Kyujangjŏnun, one of the most influential rhyme books published in Choson Korea, paying particular attention to various network structures among the book’s rhymes and their relationships with the rhyme families. By applying social network analysis as a main research method, this study delineates the compiler’s intention which has been embedded in the formal features of Kyujangjŏnun. King Chongjo, who initiated the compilation project, envisaged the establishment of a new literary canon of the day through the careful regulation of literary forms. Visualizing Kyujangjŏnun using social network analysis, in this respect, is intended to identify the major elements the compiler chose to apply to constructing a new literary model. This study also serves as a preliminary study to support future research on the process of canon formation and literary censorship in late Choson Korea. How do editorial practices reshape the literary canon? Through the process of selecting, categorizing, and rearranging literary works, the late Choson government attempted to establish new literary canons. By contextualizing the interactions between the actual literary works proposed by the government and Kyujangjŏnun, which laid out the formal regulations, we will be able to delineate the ontology of textual interpretation and value of the day.
A Study on the Narrative Characteristics of Park Woo-hyeon’s Exile Diary Jasanrok (玆山錄)
Authors:   The Research Of The Korean Classic, Cho Su-mi
Published: June 2022

asanrok is the exile diary of Park Woo-hyeon (朴遇賢, 1829-1907), a scholar from the late Joseon Dynasty, who was exiled to Heuksando for 12 years, as reported in Geumpa Yujip. This study focuses on the descriptive characteristics of Jasanrok and explores the universality and individuality of Jasanrok as a diary of an exile. One of the descriptive features of Park Woo-hyeon’s Jasanrok is that the frequency and number of records are closely related to the circumstances and contents of exile. For example, as the description of the reason for exile must be recorded in detail, numerous accounts have been included in this regard. Although there are not many narratives on the exile course, the frequency of their occurrence is high because of the need for objective records. On the other hand, as the opening and ending parts play a functionally appropriate role, the text has a structurally stable appearance, emotions are expressed dramatically through appropriate descriptions, and the objectivity and realism of the information can be secured through citations. Such descriptive characteristics of Jasanrok can be re-examined by dividing it into the aspects of universality and individuality. Universality as an exile diary is a narrative characteristic that is inevitably acquired because it records an experience that is both unique and general; additionally, being a diary, individuality is retained. It may be stated that it is a characteristic that appears because it is a strictly literary document that reveals the personality of the author who wrote it. Its universality corresponds to the correlation between the frequency and quantity of records and the circumstances of exile, and the use of the introduction and conclusion, and of description and citation corresponds to individuality.
A Study on the Characteristics of Peony and the Garden of Flowers in “Anbingmongyurok”
Authors:   The Research Of The Korean Classic, Nam Hye-kyoung
Published: June 2022

This study examines the theme of “Anbingmongyurok” (安憑夢遊錄) by comparing similar texts such as Shin Kwanghan’s collection of writings, “Gijaejip” (企齋集), and “Choi Hyunmi” (崔玄微) in Taepyeonggwanggi (太平廣記). Existing discussions have often described the flower garden kingdom as a corrupted space, and have stated that there was a confrontation between the female and male groups. However, if there is a confrontational structure in this work, there is room for it to be thought of as being between plants and rainstorm, as in 〈Choi Hyun-mi〉 of Taepyeonggwanggi. This is because there are many poems written by anthropomorphic plants related to rainstorm, as in 〈Choi Hyun-mi〉. In “Anbingmongyurok,” Shin Kwang-han mixes the images of Donghwang, Rainstorm, King, and husband. Thus, the female character’s melancholic sentiment toward her husband may also be understood as political rhetoric. In Shin Kwanghan’s collection of writings, “Gijaejip,” the spring day symbolizes the grace of the king, not a space of corruption. In addition, like the female characters of the flower garden kingdom, he left numerous poems that expressed regret over the fall of flowers and the aging of his body. The speaker of “Hwaisogyeong” (和離騷經) decorated himself like a peony and kept his manners and laws, but died after a long time without gaining the king’s trust. In conclusion, the flower garden kingdom and the Peony Queen were not objects to be overcome, but rather objects that reflected Shin Kwang-han’s inner self. The significance of this study is that Shin Kwang-han’s “Gijaejip,” which has been neglected until now in the study of “Anbingmongyurok,” served as principal reference material. It is expected that the author’s values will reveal the truth of the flower garden kingdom full of metaphors and symbols.
The study on figuration of the son-in-law in the series Sohyeonseong-rok
Authors:   The Research Of The Korean Classic, Jeung Sun-hee
Published: June 2022

This study focuses on figuration of the son-in-law in the series of Korean full-length novels Sohyeonseong-rok of the late 17th century, dividing the relationship between the in-laws and son-in-law in the family composition into four categories, and explored their respective meanings. In particular, this study examines cases where the son-in-law is alienated from or welcomed in relationships with the father-in-law, mother-in-law, and other sons-in-law, or where the son-in-law ignores his in-laws or the other sons-in-law. The son-in-law, like the daughter-in-law, as a new family member is often secretly alienated or ignored, and is often portrayed as an ugly or promiscuous person. By doing so, the family members attempt to reveal the superiority of their family and highlight their daughter’s qualities and personality. However, if the relationship between the son-in-law and his in-laws is good, the marital relationship is good, but if not, it was the daughter, or the wife, who experienced suffering, being caught between her family and spouse. The victim of the conflict between husband and in-laws was often a woman. In particular, So Woon-seong is an overconfident male character who acted violently against his wives. Meanwhile, there are cases where members of the son-in-law’s family are presented as evil or inferior people, or the son-in-law himself is presented as a negative character, such as in the case of Kim Hyun. In short, the narratives related to the "son-in-law" in Korean-style novels, including Sohyeonseong-rok, reflect the status of sons-in-law in the family or family composition, and the influence mainly impacted their wives, and the related conflicts and resolution strengthened the fun and vitality of the work.

This study aims to analyze the message of Taesanggameung-pyeon published by the Joseon royal family in the 19th century through text mining. As it was issued by the state, the text of Taesanggameung-pyeon occupies a special position. In addition, the title and genre regulation of the book constitute a superficial message centered on “Taoism, the transcendental, good and evil, and cause and effect.” Superficial messages may trigger cognitive bias in the reading process. Data mining enables a new interpretation of texts that are prone to cognitive biases in that it treats fine-scale text information, which is easy to miss by human attention, as having the same value as information in units that human cognition readily understands. In this article, frequency analysis of vocabulary, visualization of vocabulary characteristics, and topic-oriented visualization were conducted to determine the actual message delivered to the readers of Taesang󰠀gameung-pyeon, which has a strong superficial message. For the linguistic approach and visualization, quantitative analysis techniques such as word cloud, TF-IDF, word2Vec, K-means clustering, and topic modeling were used. Following text mining focused on the vocabulary used in Taesanggameung-pyeon, the ethics emphasized in Taesanggameung- pyeon is not religion-specific, but has general applicability, and the desire that the Gam Eung Story satisfies is a transcendent desire. Rather, it was confirmed that it was a desire to make up for worldly and everyday shortcomings. This affords new insights in that it is distinct from the results of earlier qualitative studies.

This study uses lengthwise measurement of literary text using digital tools to classify various versions of the series ”The Story of Ok So-seon.” Although there have been several attempts at analyzing the development process or variation pattern of “The Story of Ok So-seon,” this study applies a new methodology to compare different versions of Yadam rather than denying earlier results or revealing new aspects. Therefore, the focus was on objectively corroborating existing studies and revealing new possibilities. First, the distances between different versions were measured and visualized as a check on earlier discussion through character unit sequence comparison and comparison of semantic types for each paragraph. As examined, the series classification of “The Story of Ok So-seon” was similar to that previous studies, and the cause of the difference was also a part that could be interpreted in the development process of Yadamsa Temple. However, in terms of disclosure, it was found that this study within the same series was relatively insufficient. This may be because there is no significant difference in narrative, although it was observed that objective and quantitative research of the literary summation series, which occupies a large proportion of Yadam’s history, is needed. If multiple Yadam books are examined, inevitable mistakes and inefficiencies are introduced into human processing capacity. However, until now, most studies of Yadam have been conducted following traditional humanities methods. While acknowledging their strengths, attempts to explore new possibilities should also be made. This can lead to visualizing the actual compartments and relationships of the Yadam enjoyment pattern in the future, and the horizon of research on the different versions of Yadam can be expanded using the research methodology of a new era of digital humanities.

In recent years, the environmental pollution caused by micro/nanoplastics (MNPs) has increased. As a result of their negative impact on human health and the environment, MNPs have emerged as new scientific challenges. However, there are still some inconclusive findings. In this perspective, we analyze the traditional membrane performance that is thought to be applicable for MNPs removal, intending to highlight the electrospun nanofiber membrane as a potential next-generation feasible membrane technique. However, the lack of inter-comparability across studies and the limited data sources account for the high level of uncertainty associated with the application of electrospun nanofiber membranes in the control of MNPs pollution. Hence, we propose a long-term road map for controlling MNPs pollution in the environment with electrospun nanofiber membranes, which will assist in mitigating the difficulties encountered during the experimental stages.

Surgical methods for treating spasmodic torticollis include denervation and myotomy (DAM) of the affected muscles, and deep brain stimulation (DBS). This study reports on the long-term efficacy, prognostic factors, safety, and hospitalization costs following these two procedures. We collected data from 94 patients with spasmodic torticollis, of whom 41 and 53 were treated with DAM and DBS, respectively, from June 2008 to December 2020 at the Chinese People’s Liberation Army General Hospital. We used the Tsui scale and the global outcome score of the Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS) to evaluate the preoperative and postoperative clinical condition in all patients. We also determined the cost of hospitalization, prognostic factors, and serious adverse events following the two surgical procedures. The mean follow-up time was 68.83 months (range = 13–116). Both resection surgery and DBS showed good results in terms of Tsui (Z = -5.103, P = 0.000; Z = -6.210, P = 0.000) and TWSTRS scores (t = 8.762, P = 0.000; Z = -6.308, P = 0.000). Compared with the DAM group, the preoperative (47.71, range 24–67.25) and postoperative (18.57, range 0–53) TWSTRS scores in the DBS group were significantly higher (Z = -3.161, P = 0.002). We found no correlation between prognostic factors and the patient age, gender, or disease duration for either surgical procedure. However, prognostic factors were related to the length of the postoperative follow-up period in the DBS surgery group (Z = -2.068, P = 0.039; Z = -3.287, P = 0.001). The mean hospitalization cost in the DBS group was 6.85 times that found in the resection group (Z = -8.284, P = 0.000). The total complication rate was 4.26%. We found, both resection surgery and DBS, showed good results in the patients with spasmodic torticollis. Although DBS had a greater impact on the quality of life and the degree of pain relief, it was more expensive. Prognostic factors were related to the length of the postoperative follow-up period in patients who underwent DBS surgery.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with unknown etiology and hard to early diagnose. It’s imperative to investigate the changes in AS patients’ peripheral blood, which may contribute to the diagnosis and further understanding of AS. Common differential expressed genes between normal and AS patients in GSE73754 and GSE25101 were screened by machine learning algorithms. IL2RB and ZDHHC18 were hubgenes screened and a diagnostic model was established. C-indexes and calibration analyses suggested high prediction accuracy of the model in training and validation cohorts. The AUC values of the model in GSE73754, GSE25101, GSE18781 and GSE11886 were 0.86, 0.84, 0.85 and 0.89 respectively. Decision curve analyses suggested high net benefit by the model. Functional analysis of the differential expressed genes indicated that they were mainly clustered in processes related to immune response. Immune microenvironment analysis revealed that neutrophils were expanded and activated in AS, while some T cells were decreased. IL2RB and ZDHHC18 were potential blood biomarkers for AS and might be used for early diagnosis and a supplementary diagnostic tool to the existing methods. Our study deepened the insight into the pathogenesis of AS.
Phylogeographic and Bioclimatic Determinants of the Dorsal Pattern Polymorphism in the Italian Wall Lizard, Podarcis siculus

The geographic variability of the dorsal pattern (DP) of the Italian wall lizard, Podarcis siculus, across its native range was studied with the aim to understand whether the distributions of this phenotypic trait were more shaped by allopatric differentiation rather than adaptive processes. A total of 1298 georeferenced observations scattered across the Italian peninsula and the main islands (Sicily, Corsica and Sardinia) were obtained from citizen science databases and five DPs were characterized by different shapes of the dark pattern (“reticulated”, “campestris”, “reticulated/campestris” and “striped”) or by absence of it (“concolor”). Frequencies of different DP phenotypes differ between the two main mtDNA lineages settled in central-northern and in southern Italy respectively. This pattern may be indicative of a role of long-term allopatric historical processes in determining the observed pattern. The analysis also identified a putative wide area of secondary contact, in central southern Italy, characterized by high diversity of the DP. Generalized Linear Models (GLMs), used to estimate a possible association between bioclimatic variables and the observed phenotypic variation, showed that each of the five DPs is correlated to different environmental factors and show different distribution of areas with high probability of occurrence. However, for all but one of the DPs, the area with the greatest probability does not correspond exactly to the real distribution of the DP. Conversely, the “concolor” phenotype does not seem related to any particular mtDNA lineage and it shows a preference for areas with high temperature and low rainfall. This is in agreement with the expectation of low amount of melanin of the dorsal pattern that, in the study areas, is characterized by a light uniform coloration which could confer a better thermoregulation ability in high temperatures environments avoiding overheating.
