ANALISIS KELEMBAGAAN DESA DALAM SISTEM KETATANEGARAAN REPUBLIK INDONESIA
Authors: Hadi Ahmad Maula
Published: October 2021

Era reformasi menuntut lembaga-lembaga dalam struktur ketatanegaraan di Indonesia untuk terus berkembang dengan harapan kebutuhan masyarakat terhadap demokrasi terpenuhi. Tidak sedikit lembaga yang bermunculan pasca reformasi, baik di tingkat pusat maupun di tingkat daerah, namun tidak sedikit pula lembaga-lembaga yang bermunculan ini menimbulkan banyak persoalan baru. Sebagaimana lembaga pemerintah Desa yang secara kelembagaan semakin dikuatkan dengan adanya Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2014 Tentang Desa. Semangat penguatan Desa secara kelembagaan diharapkan dapat muncul kemandirian Desa dalam menyejahterakan masyarakatnya. Akan tetapi, secara struktur kelembagaan, penguatan lembaga pemerintah Desa, baik secara kedudukan, maupun kewenangannya, justru memunculkan ketidakjelasan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan memahami gambaran Desa secara struktur kelembagaan berdasarkan Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2014 Tentang Desa dengan fokus penelitian kepada status hukum, fungsi hukum, kedudukan hukum, dan peranan lembaga tersebut dalam konstruksi hukum tata negara.Hasil yang diperoleh dari makalah ini adalah 1)/ Desa yang merupakan lingkup organisasi atau susunan pemerintahan terkecil dan lebih dekat dengan masyarakat, mempunyai peran penting dalam menjalankan otonomi yang diamanatkan oleh konstitusi sebagai jalan menuju rakyat yang sejahtera. Penting juga karena desa merupakan satuan terkecil dari bangsa ini yang menunjukkan keragaman Indonesia. Selama ini terbukti keragaman tersebut telah menjadi kekuatan penyokong bagi tegak dan eksisnya bangsa. Sehingga penguatan Desa secara status dan kedudukannya tidak dapat ditawar lagi. 2) Penguatan lembaga pemerintah Desa menimbulkan dampak yang tidak sedikit. Apabila dilihat dari penguatan kewenangannya, maka potensi menciptakan Desa yang otonom tidak dapat terhindarkan. Akan tetapi, potensi ke arah otonomi Desa tidak akan berjalan apabila pemerintah Desa dan masyarakatnya tidak menunjukkan kemandirian. Kata Kunci: Lembaga Daerah, Desa, dan Pemerintahan Desa.

Interpreting as creating a potential for understanding
Authors: Karrebæk Martha Sif , Sørensen Solvej H.
Published: October 2021

According to a widespread norm among legal representatives, legal interpreters should translate verbatim, or at least as close to the source utterance as possible. Yet, sociolinguists have shown repeatedly that the absence of verbatim translation is not inherently problematic. Differences between source utterances and their translations may in fact facilitate understanding. On the basis of a corpus of audio-recordings from a court in Denmark, we analyse differences between a request presented by legal representatives and then the interpreters’ versions. We focus on a routinised and procedural request, usually presented by the prosecutor and addressed to the judge, and very often conveyed in a highly implicit manner. We demonstrate that the interpreters tend to elaborate and add particular types of information in their translation. We argue that the additions facilitate understanding for the accused, as many inferences, based on institutional insight, are needed in order to understand what the prosecutor means. We also point to the paradox that, although interpreters are tasked with creating understanding, it is almost impossible to assess whether they succeed and what insight the accused obtains. This is due to the institutional organisation of the type of court hearing analysed.
Style variability in disfluency analysis for forensic speaker comparison
Authors: Harrington Lauren , Rhodes Richard , Hughes Vincent
Published: October 2021

Disfluencies are a natural part of speech, often going unnoticed by both speaker and listener. Recent research on disfluency profiles (McDougall and Duckworth 2017, 2018) shows that they contain speaker-specific information which could be analysed and compared in forensic speaker comparison (FSC) casework. Since samples in FSC tend to be mismatched for speaking situation and style, the present study investigates the consistency of speakers’ disfluency production across three forensically relevant tasks: a mock police interview, a paired conversation and a voicemail message. Disfluency production was found to differ significantly across tasks; in some cases, extreme within-speaker variation was observed. The results demonstrate that a speaker's disfluency behaviour is unlikely to remain consistent across different situations. However, it was found that some individuals who demonstrated unusual production of a particular type of disfluency showed relatively consistent production of that type across all three tasks. Consequently, we recommend that disfluency analysis is not used in FSC where there are marked differences in speaking style or situation, unless distinctive disfluency production is observed in a sample.
Predicting veracity in online hotel reviews using types of reported speech, speaker identity and quotation marks
Authors: Visonà Mark Winston
Published: October 2021

Many studies of deception detection have supported using direct reported speech as a linguistic indicator of veracity (Vrij 2015). However, indirect reported speech and narrative reports of speech (Leech and Short 1981[2007]; Chafe 1994) have not received such attention in veracity assessment research. The current study investigates whether these types of reported speech (along with speaker identities and the use/non-use of quotation marks) act as indicators of veracity in a corpus of truthful and deceptive negative online hotel reviews developed by Ott, Choi, Cardie and Hancock (2011). Logistic regression modelling found that type of reported speech and speaker identity were significant, with deceptive reviews more often using indirect reported speech and truthful reviews featuring speaker identities other than the reviewer or hotel staff. This article contributes to our understanding of deception detection by considering theoretically meaningful classes of indicators (Burgoon 2018) and connecting previous approaches from multiple fields and perspectives.

The Role of Otoscopy in the Diagnosis of Rare Diseases in Pediatrics. Congenital Middle Ear Cholesteatoma in the Child: Clinical Case
Authors: Zelenkova Irina V. , Gubanova Svetlana G. , Naumova Irina V. , Gankovskii Viktor A. , Fatakhova Madina T. , Namazova-Baranova Leyla S.
Published: October 2021

The clinical recommendations “Acute respiratory viral infection (ARVI) in children" indicate that otoscopy should be a part of routine pediatric examination of each patient along with auscultation, percussion, etc. Nowadays, there are no legal regulations on which specialists can perform otoscopy. Thus, there is significant pediatricians’ interest in otoscopy, especially in diagnosis of acute otitis media (AOM) during primary examination for timely antibacterial management. Moreover, pediatricians could reveal such rare and very aggressive middle ear disease as cholesteatoma, its early diagnosis can prevent the development of any complications and determines the range and quality of rehabilitation actions.

Authors: Chernyavskaya T. K. , Sobolev K. E. , Novikov A. V. , Zubkov D. S.
Published: October 2021

Changes in provision of elective care during coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic require search for new forms of doctor-patient communication. Telemedicine technologies have become widely used for monitoring of patients, especially those with noncommunicable diseases. However, the introduction of telemedicine care is associated with a large number of medical, legal and technical issues. Rational use of telecommunication within the modern clinical guidelines will significantly increase the availability of high-quality healthcare and reduce the hospitalization rate for exacerbation of chronic diseases, as well as improve disease outcomes.

Published: October 2021

Aim. To create an advanced algorithm for predicting cardiovascular events (CVE) in low/moderate risk patients using a complex of traditional and new factors.

Material and methods. The study included 700 patients with Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) <5%, examined in 20092010. In addition to standard investigations, blood biochemistry tests, including high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and sphygmography were carried. In 2019, a follow-up phone call was made to participants to identify recent CVEs: cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stroke, revascularization. The response rate was 79,6% (n=557; men, 100; women, 457).

Results. CVEs were observed in 48 (8,6%) patients. The risk of CVEs increases systolic blood pressure (SBP) >130 mmHg (odds ratio (OR), 1,9 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1,0-3,6)), hsCRP >2,3 mg/L (OR, cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) >8,05 (OR, 1,25 (95% CI, 1,0-1,6)). In patients with a combination of ≥2 lipid profile abnormalities, SBP >130 mm Hg, hsCRP >2,3 mg/L and pulse wave velocity >13 m/s, the probability of developing CVEs (including cardiovascular death) increases 3,55 times (95% CI, 1,32-7,67).

Conclusion. Levels of pulse wave velocity, CAVI, urea and hsCRP should be considered as additional risk factors for CVE in patients with low/moderate risk, estimated using standard scales. Combinations of traditional and new risk factors demonstrate a cumulative effect.

Aim. To assess the short- and long-term outcomes of myocardial re- vascularization (MR) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in the context of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Material and methods. In the period from April to August 2020, 550 patients with CAD and ACS were included in the register. Emergency percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (n=499) and on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (n=51) were performed. The follow-up period lasted 6 months. The pattern of complications after MR and effects of COVID-19 were analyzed.

Results. The studied cohort is represented by patients with CAD >65 years old. ST segment elevation ACS was detected in 23%, acute myocardial infarction — in 59,1%, in other cases — unstable angina. During hospitalization after MR, atrial fibrillation prevailed among cardiovascular complications (4,7%). During this period, 29 (5,3%) patients was diagnosed with COVID-19. In the short-term period after MR, 3 (0,5%) people died due to COVID-19 complications-. In the long-term period after MR, 4 (0,7%) cases of non-fatal stroke were registered, while repeated MR — in 7,1%. The all-cause mortality rate was 1,3% (n=7), of which 57,1% of patients died due to COVID-19 complications. In the subgroup of patients who underwent CABG, the greatest number of in-hospital complications was noted, where exudative pleurisy, atrial fibrillation and anemia prevailed. Of the patients with COVID-19, pneumonia in the short-and long-term posto perative periods was recorded in 48,3 and 61,3%, respectively. Pneumonia is associated with respiratory failure, cardiac dysfunction, and anemia. The risk of COVID-19 pneumonia during the entire follow-up period was higher in patients with ACS who underwent CABG (odds ratio, 19,4; confidence interval: 13,3-26,1; p<0,001). The overall survival rate was 98,7%.

Conclusion. COVID-19 infection in patients with ACS after MR effects pattern of postoperative complications. The proportion of COVID-19 pneumonia in patients with ACS in hospital, short-  and long-term postoperative periods after MR significantly exceeds that in the general population. The leading factor associated with COVID-19 pneumonia in patients with ACS is on-pump CABG.
Familial dysbetalipoproteinemia: highly atherogenic and underdiagnosed disorder
Authors: Blokhina A. V. , Ershova A. I. , Meshkov A. N. , Drapkina O. M.
Published: October 2021

Familial dysbetalipoproteinemia (FD) is a genetic, highly atherogenic disorder. The penetrance of FD depends on the patient’s lifestyle and concomitant diseases. Despite the fact that FD was described almost half a century ago, it is still insufficiently studied and is extremely rarely diagnosed. In actual clinical practice, physicians do not have clear understanding of clinical course and genetic basis of FD. The aim was to present the most complete, but at the same time a critical review with a modern view on FD. We analyzed Russian and foreign publications from following electronic databases: PubMed, eLIBRARY, Google Scholar. As a result, the phenotypic features and genetic variability of the disease were considered and the main issues of diagnosis and treatment of patients with FD were discussed. The data presented will help the clinician to timely suspect the FD, conduct a full range of investigations and prescribe evidence-based lipid-lowering therapy.

Statistical modeling of outcomes based on a patient's presenting symptoms (symptomatology) can help deliver high quality care and allocate essential resources, which is especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic. Patient symptoms are typically found in unstructured notes, and thus not readily available for clinical decision making. In an attempt to fill this gap, this study compared two methods for symptom extraction from Emergency Department (ED) admission notes. Both methods utilized a lexicon derived by expanding The Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Symptoms of Coronavirus list. The first method utilized a word2vec model to expand the lexicon using a dictionary mapping to the Uni ed Medical Language System (UMLS). The second method utilized the expanded lexicon as a rule-based gazetteer and the UMLS. These methods were evaluated against a manually annotated reference (f1-score of 0.87 for UMLS-based ensemble; and 0.85 for rule-based gazetteer with UMLS). Through analyses of associations of extracted symptoms used as features against various outcomes, salient risks among the population of COVID-19 patients, including increased risk of in-hospital mortality (OR 1.85, p-value < 0.001), were identified for patients presenting with dyspnea. Disparities between English and non-English speaking patients were also identified, the most salient being a concerning finding of opposing risk signals between fatigue and in-hospital mortality (non-English: OR 1.95, p-value = 0.02; English: OR 0.63, p-value = 0.01). While use of symptomatology for modeling of outcomes is not unique, unlike previous studies this study showed that models built using symptoms with the outcome of in-hospital mortality were not significantly different from models using data collected during an in-patient encounter (AUC of 0.9 with 95% CI of [0.88, 0.91] using only vital signs; AUC of 0.87 with 95% CI of [0.85, 0.88] using only symptoms). These findings indicate that prognostic models based on symptomatology could aid in extending COVID-19 patient care through telemedicine, replacing the need for in-person options. The methods presented in this study have potential for use in development of symptomatology-based models for other diseases, including for the study of Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC).
Fresh and hardened properties of 3D printable polymer-fibre-reinforced high-performance cementitious composite
Authors: Pham Luong , Panda Biranchi , Tran Phuong
Published: October 2021

The aim of this research was to develop a three-dimensional (3D) printable high-performance cementitious composite (CC) reinforced with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polypropylene (PP) fibres. The characteristics of the fresh mortar were identified by conducting tests for rheological behaviour, flow factor and green strength. The mechanical properties of 3D printed specimens under different curing conditions were investigated in different printing directions and compared with those of cast specimens. The addition of a relatively small volume fraction of fibre (0.2%) led to a noticeable increase in yield stress, flow loss and green strength. For the hardened CC, the influence of a small amount of PVA or PP fibre was not significant in terms of the compressive and flexural strengths of the printed samples. The mechanical properties of cast and printed specimens in the hardened state was explained through the pore content, measured using X-ray micro-computed tomography.
A geochemical assessment method for identification of natural pozzolans as supplementary cementitious material
Authors: Pourkhorshidi A. R. , Sobhani J. , Ramezanianpour A. A.
Published: October 2021

Pozzolans are available in natural resources as raw materials that are potentially applicable in the cement and concrete industries. Proper identification and exploration methods are crucial in relation to their technical and economical purposes. In this paper, a two-phase study is employed, based on geochemical data processing and experimental investigations. Chemical and petrography of natural pozzolans were utilised to develop the proposed method. This method proposes three geochemical indexes: the limiting values of silica/calcium oxide (SiO2/CaO), alumina saturation and alkali content to qualify the natural pozzolan according to the supplementary cementitious requirements. Then, based on ASTM C618 and EN 196-5 standards and complementary tests, the chemical and physical properties of two natural pozzolans were assessed to validate the proposed method. The results showed that this method could be used as a robust and direct way to identify natural pozzolans.
Memory, Heritage, and Tradition in the Museum Exhibition Ingrians – The Forgotten Finns
Authors: Savolainen Ulla , Potinkara Nika
Published: October 2021

In this article we explore relations between personal, collective, private, and public dimensions of remembrance in the context of the Ingrians – The Forgotten Finns exhibition presented at the National Museum of Finland in 2020 by analyzing it through the lenses of memory, heritage, and tradition. We argue that while promoting remembrance of allegedly absent pasts and experiences of a forgotten group of people, the exhibition simultaneously relied on and reinterpreted earlier nationalistic projects related to heritage and folklore connected to Ingria. Moreover, while the National Museum of Finland enabled the heritagization and mobilization of the exhibition’s message, the exhibition reciprocally supported the message of transformation that the museum arguably wished to convey about itself.
Significance of Reverse Side Analysis in Revealing Interpolation as Well as Relative Age of Writings – Illustration through Forensic Examination of Documents
Authors: Bhardwaj Pranay , Joshi Mahesh Chandra , Koul Amit
Published: October 2021

Letters, figures or words are sometimes fraudulently added to a contract or other legal documents after it has been signed or produced. This can drastically change the intent of the document. It is more difficult to detect additions that are skillfully added to a document than erasures. It becomes the task of the document examiner to determine if the addition or alteration was made after the document was executed or these were the part and parcel of the document earlier. The forensic document experts can examine, detect and interpret the evidence of alteration by means of additions/insertions, as well as relative age of writings and spuriousness of the documents even in the absence of samples. Besides examining the different types of forgery involved in the writings/ signatures, the ink of the writings, misalignment between the letters, figures, words as well as lines, crowdedness of the writing, rhythm of the writing1, detection and analysis of indented and other accidental markings in the front as well as back side of the document under observation need to be carefully and thoroughly examined. In this study, the systematic method of identification of fraudulent nature of the document with respect to alteration by means of additions/ insertions/interpolation, as well as relative age of writings are discussed.
Technicians and Dentists: A catch 22 situation?
Authors: Sykes Leanne M , Bradfield Charles , Babiolakis George P , Becker Len
Published: October 2021

Dental technicians who regularly receive poor quality impressions and records are often faced with professional and ethical concerns as to how to handle the situation. They may choose to complete the task to the best of their abilities. Other options are to alter the casts to try to improve the situation and then complete the prescription, contact the dentist and discuss the issue, contactthe patient, contact the medical aid, report the practitioner to the HPCSA, or refuse to do the work. Their latter actions have potentially negative implications for them, and will certainly sour working relationships. At worst, they may lose the dentist’s support. This paper explores ways in which dentists and techniciains can foster collegial and mutually beneficial relationships from early on in their careers. This will not only promote better communication, and improve the quality of work produced by them, but it will also serve the best interests of their patients and the profession as a whole.
Cutaneous mastocytosis in an infant: Case report and clinicopathological correlation
Authors: Prithviraj Kishoresingh Solanki , Vijayshri Bhide , Vijaya Gadage , Vinay Kulkarni , Anil Patki
Published: October 2021

Mastocytosis is a disorder of clonal proliferation of the mast cells, which can be cutaneous or systemic. Abnormal mast cell infiltration comprising multifocal compact clusters or cohesive aggregates can affect one or more organ systems. Cutaneous mastocytosis is a relatively uncommon condition in the pediatric population. We report a case of 9 month infant presented with multiple papular and vesicular skin rashes since 6 months of age. On clinical examination Darier’s sign was negative. The serum tryptase levels were within normal limits. Clinical differential diagnoses were benign cephalic histiocytosis vs cutaneous mastocytosis. Skin biopsy revealed a mononuclear cell infiltrate in the papillary dermis reaching up to the dermo-epidermal junction. Toluidine blue staining highlighted the metachromatic granules. CD117, CD30 IHC stains were positive which confirmed the diagnosis of cutaneous mastocytosis. This case is presented to highlight the histomorphology and the special stains in cases of mastocytosis.

SARS-CoV-2 DNA library preparation using an adapted version of Illumina DNA prep protocol v.1.1 v1
Authors: Kagning Tsinda Emmanuel , Sakamoto Masahiro , Okamoto Michiko , Dapat Clyde , Saito Mariko , Saito Mayuko , Oshitani Hitoshi
Published: October 2021

This protocol describes the steps to prepare DNA libraries from PCR amplicons using the Illumina DNA prep library kit. The current library preparation protocol was adapted from the original Illumina DNA Prep Reference Guide (document #1000000025416 v09) using low input DNA samples as the starting material. We omitted laboratory equipment such as the Eppendorf 96-well PCR plate, microseal adhesive seals. In addition, we replaced 96-well plate magnetic stand with a magnetic stand suitable for 1.5 ml tubes. The added value of this protocol is that PCR reactions happen in 0.2 ml PCR tubes, and it can be implemented without a separate purchase of 96-well PCR plates or a magnetic stand for PCR plates. Using individual 0.2 ml tubes increases the user flexibility when running few samples for library preparation. The other advantage of using our adapted protocol is the reduced library preparation cost when running few specimens. For instance, implementing the current protocol might be cheaper than the original Illumina protocol when using the Illumina® DNA Prep, (M) Tagmentation (24 Samples) catalog number 20018704. The protocol has proven effective for processing hundreds of DNA libraries from tiled virus amplicons such as Sapovirus and SARS-CoV-2 submitted to public repositories such as GISAID and GenBank.

This protocol demonstrates how to assemble reads from plasmid DNA, and generate a circularised and non-repetitive consensus sequence At the moment, this protocol uses Canu to de-novo assemble high-quality single-cut reads. Input(s): demultiplexed fastq files (see protocol Demultiplexing Nanopore reads with LAST). I've noticed that the default demultiplexing carried out by Guppy (at least up to v4.2.2, as used in the first version of this protocol) has issues with chimeric reads, which can affect assembly. Output(s): Consensus sequence per barcode as a fasta file

Objetivo: avaliar os principais fatores estressores apontados pelos pacientes em uma unidade cardiointensiva. Método: pesquisa descritiva, quantitativa, realizada com 25 pacientes maiores de 18 anos, lúcidos, orientados, alfabetizados, com diagnóstico de síndrome coronariana aguda. Aplicou-se questionário relacionado às informações sociodemográficas e clínicas e a escala The Environmental Stressor Questionnaire. Os dados foram analisados através de estatística descritiva simples. Resultados: houve predominância do sexo masculino (16-64%), com idade de 60 a 70 anos (14-56%). O infarto agudo do miocárdio (14-56%%) foi a causa mais prevalente de internação. As afirmativas “sentir dor” (17-68%); seguido de “não conseguir mexer mãos ou braços devido às vias intravenosas” (13-52%); “não ter controle de si mesmo” (11-44%) e “não ter explicações sobre o tratamento” (10-40%) sobressaíram como extremamente estressantes. Conclusão: conhecer os estressores mais prevalentes contribui para o planejamento do cuidado de enfermagem com ênfase no acolhimento e atendimento às necessidades individualizadas.
Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Smart Grid – Performance Comparison between Topology Identification Methodology and Neural Network Identification Methodology for the Branch Number Approximation of Overhead Low-Voltage Broadband over Power Lines Network Topologies
Authors: Lazaropoulos Athanasios
Published: October 2021

Broadband over Power Lines (BPL) networks that are deployed across the smart grid can benefit from the usage of machine learning, as smarter grid diagnostics are collected and analyzed. In this paper, the neural network identification methodology of Overhead Low-Voltage (OV LV) BPL networks that aims at identifying the number of branches for a given OV LV BPL topology channel attenuation behavior is proposed, which is simply denoted as NNIM-BNI. In order to identify the branch number of an OV LV BPL topology through its channel attenuation behavior, NNIM-BNI exploits the Deterministic Hybrid Model (DHM), which has been extensively tested in OV LV BPL networks for their channel attenuation determination, and the OV LV BPL topology database of Topology Identification Methodology (TIM). The results of NNIM-BNI towards the branch number identification of OV LV BPL topologies are compared against the ones of a newly proposed TIM-based methodology, denoted as TIM-BNI.

Nanotechnology is a vital progressive technology facilitating role, progress, and viable effect on food, treatment, medicine, cultivation and farming sector. A nutraceutical is characterized as an ingredient that is related to food and gives medical compensations to the human being, including the prevention and healing of illness. The well-being and health of people are to a great extent, directed by the utilization of nutritious diets. Further numerous investigations have connected good diets as supportive in fighting various deteriorating communicable and non-communicable diseases. There are various studies that explore the relationship between health promotion and various plant and animal food. Although, a considerable number of naturally arising health-promotion constituents are the source of plants, there are various physiologically dynamic parts in animal items that have worth considering for their possible function in ideal well-being. Moreover, the utilization of naturally active constituents in leafy foods and fruits has been connected to fighting various illnesses, such as malignant growth, cardiovascular illnesses, weight, and gastrointestinal problems.

This study evaluated the microalbumin, cystatin C, creatinine and uric acid levels in HIV patients in Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi (NAUTH). A total of one hundred (100) male and female HIV positive and control participants who were aged between 18 and 60 years attending the voluntary counseling and testing unit (VCT) and antiretroviral therapy unit (ART) of NAUTH were randomly recruited for the study and grouped thus: Group A (HIV positive symptomatic participants on long term ART (HPSPLTART) (n= 25); Group B (HIV positive symptomatic participants on short term ART (HPSPSTART) (n= 25); Group C: Asymptomatic HIV positive participants NOT on ART (AHPPNART) (n=25) and Group D: control (n=25).6mls of blood sample and 10mls of freshly voided urine samples were collected from each of the participants for the evaluation of biochemical parameters using standard laboratory methods. Results showed significantly higher BMI and SBP in HPSPSTART than in control (p=0.04; 0.02). SBP was significantly higher in HPSPLTART than in AHPPNART and Control (p=0.00). DBP was significantly higher in HPSPLTART than in HPSPSTART and control respectively (p=0.00). There were significantly higher plasma creatinine and Cys-C levels in both male HIV positives and male HIV positive participants on ART than in both females respectively (p0.00; 0.02). Also, BMI, creatinine, uric acid and Cystatin C levels were significantly higher in male HIV negative participants than in female HIV negative participants (p=0.00; 0.04; 0.02; 0.01). This study has revealed greater risk for renal disease among the HIV participants studied.
Una minga por la vida en medio de la pandemia
Authors: Martinez Silva Pablo Andrés
Published: October 2021

Minga significa pensar/palabrear/hacer en común por la comunalidad. Por lo anterior, una minga integra conocimiento, diálogo y acción. Esto no es ajeno a la Minga Suroccidente, convocada por el Consejo Regional Indígena del Cauca, el Consejo Regional Indígena del Huila y el Consejo Regional Indígena de Caldas, organizaciones que agrupan a la casi totalidad de autoridades tradicionales de estos departamentos. En este caso la invitación es desarrollar esta actividad en pro de la Vida, el Territorio, la Democracia y la Paz. La Vida, porque se han venido cegando vidas, no solo de líderes, sino de ciudadanos del común, y toda vida es valiosa; el Territorio, porque distintos proyectos del llamado Desarrollo, desconoce otras formas de construir una territorialidad no antropocéntrica, colocando el riesgo no solo la pervivencia de la biodiversidad, sino de la memoria biocultural construida por siglos; la Democracia, porque se ha entronizado una práctica de gubernamentalidad que desconoce al Otro, a sus modos de vida, lo que se observa en el desconocimiento de la comunalidad establecida como pacto social en la Constitución Política de 1991; y la Paz, porque esta es un resultado de que este pacto se cumpla.

Introducción: la capacidad de predicción de las osteonas para determinar la edad de muerte de los individuos ha sido descrito en la literatura científica. No obstante, no se ha determinado dicha capacidad en individuos subadultos. Objetivo: determinar la eficacia de lo parámetros histomorfometricos en población subadulta. Metodología: se realizaron biopsias de hueso ilíaco en los restos de 120 subadultos, de la Colección Osteológica de Granada, con edad conocida en el momento de la muerte. Para establecer la capacidad de predicción se utilizó el R2 obtenido a partir de regresión lineal múltiple. Resultados: las variables con mayor nivel predictivo y significativo para la estimación de la edad fueron: recuento de osteonas tipo 2 de la cortical interna y externa, y el volumen óseo trabecular; En la evaluación del modelo, se obtuvo un coeficiente de determinación de 0.32, es decir, el 32% de la variación en la edad de los subadultos se explica por el modelo. Sin embargo, se evidenció diferencias en la capacidad de predicción por sexo. Conclusión: este modelo de regresión explica un porcentaje sustancial de la varianza de la edad de los individuos en la muestra. No obstante, no es suficiente para garantizar una adecuada predicción de la edad al momento de muerte de los individuos subdultos.
Efecto del entrenamiento de prensión manual de intensidad ascendente sobre la cinética de oxigenación muscular en adultos mayores hipertensos tipo l
Authors: Arenas Sanchez Giovanny Antonio
Published: October 2021

Introducción: La hipertensión arterial tiene una alta prevalencia y es un factor de riesgo importante para el desarrollo de enfermedades cardiovasculares, las cuales afectan mayormente a adultos mayores (AM). Como estrategia terapéutica el ejercicio de fuerza isométrica de prensión manual ha demostrado resultados efectivos en la respuesta hipotensora. Sin embargo, existe poca evidencia sobre los mecanismos fisiológicos responsables de la hipotensión inducida posterior al ejercicio. Objetivo: Analizar el efecto del entrenamiento de prensión manual de intensidad ascendente sobre la cinética de oxigenación muscular en adultos mayores hipertensos tipo l. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un entrenamiento de intensidad ascendente de prensión manual durante 4 semanas, sobre un grupo experimental (GE; n: 25), contrastado con un entrenamiento al 30% de la fuerza de prensión manual (FMP) grupo control (GC; n: 25). Se valoraron las siguientes variables hemodinámicas y antropométricas: frecuencia cardiaca (FC), presión arterial (PA), oxigenación muscular, peso, talla e índice de masa corporal (IMC), analizando los cambios pre y post entrenamiento. Resultados: En ambos grupos posterior a la intervención disminuye de manera significativa la presión arterial sistólica (PAS) (GC: 123,6 ± 2,42 a 114,6 ± 2,36 y GE: 128,1 ± 1,56 a 111,4 ± 2,31) y FC (70,84 ± 1,92 a 64,08 ± 1,87 y 69,72 ± 2,01 a 64 ± 1,98) respectivamente. El mayor cambio de oxigenación muscular (OM) y percepción de esfuerzo se observa sólo en el GE (57,68 ± 1,34 a 64,56 ± 1,05 y 6,4 ±0,23 a 3,64 ± 0,23). Conclusión: El entrenamiento de FMP de intensidad ascendente es un método valioso y mejor tolerado en personas mayores para disminuir la PA al compararlo con el GC. En cuanto al uso de los sensores de espectroscopía del infrarrojo cercano (NIRS) Moxy, se debe realizar una evaluación adicional para determinar los tiempos de entrenamiento y los límites en porcentajes de OM.
