A Qualitative Investigation of Fatigue & Its Daily Impacts as Perceived by Individuals With Barth Syndrome & Their Families
Authors: Reynolds Stacey , Babson Isabelle , Daw Emma
Published: July 2023

Date Presented 04/22/2023

This qualitative study used a phenomenological approach to understand how individuals with a rare genetic disorder and their families experienced fatigue in their daily lives. Findings suggest that fatigue in people with mitochondrial disorders such as Barth syndrome may need to be considered not only in terms of muscular endurance, but in a more robust fashion to capture the impact of fatigue on cognition, emotional regulation, social participation, self-care, and quality of life.

Published: July 2023

Las tecnologías emergentes, como los registros de aprendizaje y empleo (LER), se han identificado como una solución prometedora para que los alumnos y trabajadores histórica y sistemáticamente excluidos (HSE) compartan y accedan a sus datos de aprendizaje y competencias a partir de sus itinerarios de aprendizaje y transiciones individuales. Sin embargo, los itinerarios de aprendizaje rara vez son lineales; la forma en que los alumnos y los trabajadores pueden demostrar y obtener reconocimiento por sus habilidades y competencias puede evolucionar con el tiempo. Además, las barreras sistémicas y las desigualdades arraigadas en los itinerarios de aprendizaje de las comunidades de HSE afectan de manera desproporcionada a su capacidad para acceder y persistir en el ecosistema educativo y laboral. Es fundamental que los LER se diseñen de forma accesible y equitativa para las comunidades de HSE a fin de mitigar las desigualdades sistémicas y estructurales en el ecosistema educativo y laboral. Con el generoso apoyo de la Fundación Bill y Melinda Gates, Digital Promise colaboró con alumnos adultos y trabajadores de la ESS para establecer un conjunto de principios de diseño que sirvieran de base para el desarrollo de tecnologías de REA para su uso a lo largo de la trayectoria profesional y de aprendizaje de las personas, incluidas sus transiciones de aprendizaje. Mediante entrevistas individuales y talleres de grupo con alumnos adultos y trabajadores de la HSE, se han identificado los principios de diseño clave para influir en la infraestructura de datos LER desde la educación hasta la fuerza laboral.

Published: July 2023

Global spread of antimicrobial resistance among pathogens is alarming for the modern society. The research aimed to study distribution of Escherichia coli in cheeses produced in Kazakhstan and to assess its resistance to antibacterial drugs. There were collected 101 samples of cheeses at retail outlets in different regions of Kazakhstan in 2021-2023, from which 55(54.4%) E. coli strains were isolated using conventional microbiological methods. The strains were phenotypically evaluated for antibiotic resistance, and the resistant isolates were tested for antibiotic resistance genes for the β-lactams group-penicillins (blaTEM, blaSHV, and OXA genes), aminoglycosides (aphA1, aadB), tetracyclines (tetA, tetB), quinolones (qnrA, qepA) and sulphonamides (sul1, sul2, and sul3 genes). Among studied E. coli strains 61% were resistant to at least one of the 21 antibiotics tested and were multi-resistant to the 15 antibacterial drugs. The greatest resistance was to sulfamethoxazole (43.6%), tetracycline (32%), followed by cefoxitin (29%). Isolates showed resistance to gentamicin (18.1%), ofloxacin (12.7%), furadonin (11%), amoxicillin (9.1%), doxycycline (7.2%). A gene encoding resistance to sulfonamides (sul3) was identified in eight E. coli strains. Thus, genotypic antibiotic resistance has been established in E. coli populations contaminating cheeses produced in the central, northern and eastern regions of Kazakhstan.

In modern society animal welfare is an important attribute of the food quality general concept. Research purpose was to identify the dairy cows’ welfare problems in Kazakhstan. In 2022 and 2023, studies were organized at two industrial dairy farms in the central (Kamyshenka LLP) and northern (Ayna Dairy Farm LLP) zones of the Akmola region. Here, the welfare of 110 cows was measured in accordance with 33 parameters, 12 criteria and 4 principles (according to the Welfare Quality® protocol). On both farms, the main animal welfare indicators were approximately within the same limits. The criterion "Absence of prolonged thirst" was 60.0 scores. In both farms, such criteria indicators as “Absence of prolonged hunger", “Absence of diseases" had relatively low values in the range of 3.5-19.98 points. The criteria “Absence of injuries”, “Lameness”, "Integument alterations", "Positive emotional state" were also below 53.9 points. Scores of criteria “Comfort during rest”, “Absence of pain caused by management procedures”, “Manifestation of other forms of behavior”, “Good relations between man and animal” exceeded 55 points and reached a maximum value of 80.01 points at the Ayna Farm. Overall, farms scored from 20.1 to 50.4 points on the basic principles of welfare, with the exception of the principle of "Good Health", according to which Ayna Dairy Farm scored 64.4 points, but Kamyshenka Farm had a lower level – 38.2. Thus, both farms were classified by the Welfare Protocol as "Acceptable". The study has been shown that the housing of dairy cows needs to be improved for increasing the comfort of rest and reduce cow injuries.

POR UMA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL ANTIRRACISTA
Authors: Silva Jarlisse Nina Beserra da , Sá-Silva Jackson Ronie , Melo Rosândrea Maria Lopes
Published: July 2023

Percebendo a Educação Infantil como um espaço potencialmente criativo para promover práticas antirracistas e reconhecendo a importância sócio-histórica e cultural das crianças para a superação das problemáticas que envolvem as questões étnico-raciais, este estudo tem como objetivo refletir sobre as possibilidades pedagógicas para uma Educação Infantil antirracista. Se caracteriza enquanto uma pesquisa bibliográfica exploratória, de abordagem qualitativa e pautada nos Estudos Culturais em Educação. Foi verificada a importância da Educação Infantil na vida da criança e, na medida em que reconhece e valoriza a diversidade escolar, se combate o silenciamento, invisibilização e inferiorização de identidades culturais, podemos ter a chance de caminhar rumo às práticas educativas antirracistas. Para tanto, há necessidade de que os profissionais envolvidos com a educação de crianças analisem criticamente as posturas e expressões racistas que muitas vezes são naturalizadas no cotidiano escolar, assim como sejam garantidas oportunidades de formação continuada de professores e propostas pedagógicas que tenham o combate ao racismo como um de seus princípios basilares.
Simultaneous OI 630 nm imaging observations of thermospheric gravity waves and associated revival of fossil depletions around midnight near the EIA crest
Authors: Parihar Navin , Padincharapad Saranya , Singh Anand Kumar
Published: July 2023

Abstract. We report the F-region airglow imaging of fossil plasma depletions around midnight that revived afresh under the persisting thermospheric gravity wave (GW) activity. An all-sky imager recorded these events in OI 630 nm imaging over Ranchi (23.3º N, 85.3º E, mlat. ~19º N), India, on 16 April 2012. Northward propagating and east-west aligned GWs (λ ~210 km, ~64 m/s, and τ ~0.91 h) were seen around midnight. Persisting for ~2 hours, this GW activity revived two co-existing and eastward drifting fossil depletions, DP1 and DP2. GWs-driven revival was prominently seen in depletion DP1, wherein its apex height grew from ~600 km to >800 km, and the level of intensity depletion increased from ~17 % to 50 %. Present study is novel in the sense that simultaneous observations of thermospheric GWs activity and associated evolution of depletion in OI 630 nm airglow imaging, and that too around local midnight, have not been reported earlier. Current understanding is that GW phase fronts aligned parallel to the geomagnetic field lines and eastward propagating are more effective in seeding Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability. Here, GW fronts were east-west aligned (i.e. perpendicular to the geomagnetic field lines) and propagated northward, yet they revived fossil depletions.

Abstract. New particle formation (NPF) in the free troposphere (FT) is thought to be a significant source of particles over the oceans. The entrainment of particles initially formed in the marine FT is further suspected to be a major contributor to cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) number concentrations in the marine boundary layer (BL). Yet, little is known about the process, and more broadly about the composition of the marine FT, which remains poorly explored due to access difficulties. Here we report measurements performed in April 2018 at the Maïdo observatory with a nitrate based chemical ionisation atmospheric pressure interface time-of-flight mass spectrometer, which have allowed the first molecular-level characterisation of the clusters present in the remote marine FT. A number of clusters were identified and classified into 9 groups according to their chemical composition, among which the groups containing methanesulfonic acid (MSA) and C2 amines, which show signals that are on average significantly higher when the site is under conditions representative of the marine FT (compared to the BL). The correlation analysis revealed apparent connections between the signals of the identified compounds and several variables concurrently measured at the site (under FT conditions) or related to air mass history, suggesting that oxalic acid, malonic acid and observed C2 and C4 amines could be of terrestrial origin, with, in addition, a possible marine source for oxalic acid and amines, while iodic acid, sulfur species and maleic acid have a dominant marine origin. Identification of FT conditions at the site was based on the analysis of the standard deviation of the wind direction; this parameter, which can easily be derived from continuous measurements at the site, is shown in the first part of the study to be a relevant tracer when compared to predictions from the Meso-NH atmospheric model. Similar to other high altitude sites, FT conditions are mainly encountered at night at Maïdo and therefore the link to NPF could not be established, and further research is needed to assess the composition of precursors to nanoparticle formation in the marine FT.
KEDUDUKAN PERSIDANGAN PIDANA ONLINE PASCA PENCABUTAN KASUS DARURAT KESEHATAN DI PENGADILAN NEGRI CIBADAK
Authors: Sitepu Rida Ista
Published: July 2023

Pada masa pandemi Covid-19 tahun 2020, persidangan di pengadilan dilakukan dengan menggunakan sarana elektronik atau dikenal (On the Network/Online), yang diatur melalui Peraturan Mahkamah Agung Nomor 4 Tahun 2020 tentang Tata Usaha dan Persidangan Perkara Pidana di Pengadilan Secara Elektronik. Di Pengadilan Negeri Kota Sukabumi dalam sidang online ini para pihak di Pengadilan Negeri adalah Hakim, Jaksa Penuntut Umum di Kejaksaan, terdakwa di tempat penahanan, sedangkan Advokat di kantornya atau bisa mendampingi terdakwa di tempat terdakwa ditahan. Pada saat terdakwa menghadiri sidang online dapat didampingi oleh Advokatnya dan harus mengikuti SOP yang telah ditetapkan. Terdakwa tetap dalam tahanan yaitu tahanan di Rutan atau di Polres yang menangani perkara. Pelaksanaan sidang ini tidak lepas dari upaya pencegahan penularan virus Corona di Rutan. Kendala dalam pelaksanaan persidangan perkara pidana secara elektronik di masa pandemi Covid-19 adalah infrastruktur, akses internet, pemenuhan hak-hak terdakwa, dan penerapan prinsip-prinsip Sistem Peradilan Pidana. Meskipun persidangan elektronik telah diterapkan pada sistem peradilan perdata, karena perbedaan karakter tujuan persidangan, persidangan konvensional tetap dipertahankan oleh pemerintah Indonesia, sebelum terjadinya bencana kesehatan nasional. Kebenaran materil merupakan tujuan utama dari pelaksanaan sistem peradilan pidana karena pembuktian harus lebih terang dari pada terang yang hanya dapat dicapai jika pelaksanaan atau ketertiban hukum pidana formil Indonesia terpenuhi. Pelaksanaan persidangan secara elektronik terkesan tidak konsisten dalam menjamin hak-hak pencari keadilan, karena keterbatasan sarana dan prasarana, sumber daya manusia yang tidak kompeten. Tentunya hal ini akan sangat mempengaruhi hasil pembuktian yang diputuskan oleh hakim. Jadi mungkin saja keadilan jauh dari kata-kata. Metode penelitian penulisan ini adalah yuridis sosiologis, dengan pengolahan data kualitatif dan dituangkan ke dalam bentuk tulisan hasil analisis Deduktif-Induktif.
Impact of genetic polymorphisms on the cancer risk, alternative splicing, and miRNA expression
Authors:   , Moradi Afshin
Published: July 2023

The abnormal growth of cells in the prostate gland is what causes prostate cancer (PrCa). Short tandem repeats (STRs) consist of 1–6 bp motifs repeated in tandem. We analysed STR at the genome-wide level to find STR associated with PrCa, gene, and miRNA expression. Moreover, we investigated the effect of SNPs on alternative splicing (AS) and isomiR expression. We found PrCa-associated isomiR and splice variants. We developed a user-friendly web interface, isomiR-eQTL, that provides resources and comprehensive analysis outcomes on the genetic mechanisms of miRNA and isomiR regulation.
Fonti per la storia del comunismo italiano, il colonialismo e la decolonizzazione in Africa
Authors: Sorgonà Gregorio
Published: July 2023

The international politics of the Italian communist party has been mainly investigated focusing the party’s entanglement with the Soviet Union, in a framework dominated by the East-West conflict. Since the 2000’s, the global dimension of Icp international politics has been underlined by historians. The focus on the place of Africa in Icp global relations is even more recent. The article contributes to this last field of research by an assessment of the Icp archival sources between the 1920s and the 1960s that are related to colonialism and decolonization in Africa.
Le carte del Partito comunista francese per una storia del comunismo in Africa
Authors: Siracusano Gabriele
Published: July 2023

The history of African anti-colonial movements, especially those present in the French colonies, can be reconstructed thanks to the documentation of the French communists. The documents of the PCF, collected in the Archives départementales de la Seine-Saint Dénis, offer an important point of view on African decolonization. These sources provide the missing piece for a social, political and cultural history of relations between metropolises and colonies and between North and South of the world. Together with the digitization projects of the French sources preserved in the former Soviet archives (today still in Russia) and the documentary mass produced by trade unions and colonial security services, the sources of the PCF are also essential for internationalizing the history of the French Communist Party, reconnecting it to the broader relations between anti-colonial movements and the international communist movement.
Efecto de los centros comerciales en el precio de la vivienda: el caso de Medellín
Authors: Villada-Medina Hernán Darío
Published: July 2023

El precio de una vivienda está determinado tanto por factores intrínsecos o propios del inmueble, como por factores extrínsecos o del entorno. En este estudio se evalúa el efecto de la cercanía de los centros comerciales en el precio de la vivienda en Medellín. Se estiman modelos hedónicos usando econometría espacial y se determina el área de influencia (buffer) de los centros comerciales. Se encuentra que cuando una vivienda está a una distancia de hasta 0.5 km de un centro comercial, su valor puede incrementar entre 3.59% y 7.39%. El análisis de externalidades es relevante no solo por ser un insumo para instrumentos de ordenamiento territorial, sino para las decisiones de actores del mercado de vivienda como constructoras y ciudadanos.
Miguel Servet en la tragedia ‘compleja’ de Alfonso Sastre: esperpentización del distanciamiento brechtiano
Authors: Bryzys Wiktoria
Published: July 2023

Este ensayo examina el proceso de creación de la “tragedia compleja”, forma dramática que Alfonso Sastre propone como ideal para el teatro social y realista y que surge de la evolución de su estética en base a dos influencias fundamentales: el teatro épico de Bertolt Brecht y la poética del esperpento de Ramón María del Valle-Inclán. En primer lugar, se muestran las bases del pensamiento teórico de Sastre y su concepción de la tragedia expuesta en su primera obra de teoría dramática, Drama y sociedad (1956), y su propuesta de superación del teatro brechtiano en Anatomía del realismo (1965). En segundo lugar, se analiza la primera tragedia compleja, M.S.V. o La sangre y la ceniza [1965], obra cuya materia dramática es la vida del revolucionario científico español Miguel Servet. El análisis se centra en dos elementos que singularizan la tragedia sastreana: la construcción del héroe trágico-complejo ideado a partir de una desmitificación del héroe tradicional, y el efecto “boomerang”, técnica mediante la cual el autor quiere lograr una tensión constante entre la identificación y el distanciamiento en el espectador. La evolución de la poética de Sastre está determinada por el carácter experimental de la forma dramática que permite que el espectro de las posibilidades y diferentes lenguajes teatrales se amplíe y haga posible la búsqueda de un tipo de tragedia potencialmente capaz de transformar la sociedad moderna.
