Eschatology of the Singularity: “Deus ex machina” in the Construction of Film Images of the Future
Authors: Bakumenko Gennady V. , Luginina Anna G. , Baklanova Olga A.
Published: September 2024

The mixed assessment by critics and theorists of the deus ex machina artistic device common in popular cinema requires a more thorough study of its dramatic and narrative functions in science fiction films. It is in the construction of film images of the future that this technique is combined with a fantastic assumption, expressing the narrator’s attitude towards artistic narration and becoming an argument in dialogue with the viewer.
The study reveals, based on the analysis of empirical material, the multifunctionality of deus ex machina using the example of the development of the theme of technological singularity in cinema. The analysis of films significant for the development of the science fiction (Sci-Fi) genre and the most popular television series among science fiction fans today demonstrates the evolution of the deus ex machina technique. In addition to the trivial function of arbitrary resolution of peripeteia, it acquires various dramatic functions (accelerating or slowing down the rhythm of action, connecting parts of the plot in a large form), obtains the properties of scaling and fragmentation, synchrony and asynchrony with a fantastic assumption, adding complex narrative functions to the toolkit of expressive means, through which the narrator reveals or, on the contrary, conceals his attitude to artistic reality, involving the viewer into the game of probable meanings.
The authors of the article come to the conclusion that the theme of technological singularity has been penetrating cinema since its appearance in the work of L. Lumiere and determines, depending on the narrator’s attitude to the topic, the vector of techno-skepticism or techno-optimism in the eschatological dilemma that characterizes the cosmogony of traditional religions.
The article is of interest to researchers and film lovers and contributes to the study of artistic and scientific communication.
School Shooting as an Extreme form of Deviant Behavior: Expert Evaluations
Authors: Bocharnikova Irina S.
Published: September 2024

Such a phenomenon as school shooting, which entered the everyday life of society, frightened humanity with its cruelty and unpredictability, found a response in scientific community. The school shooting discourse is wide: from theoretical understandings (towards analysis of theories of anomie and deviance, stigmatization and criminology, the concepts of differential associative, communicative, axiological and existential approaches) to empirical justifications. They showed that this multifactorial destructive phenomenon is labile, its configuration changes along with the changing social reality, which significantly expands the research field. The study concerns the expert characteristics of this phenomenon.
Authors have concluded that the most likely motive for violence in educational institutions is in most cases psychological trauma or school shooter’s disorders. Society’s reaction to school shooting is superficial and mainly reduced to appeals to limit Internet content. The root cause of tragic incidents of school shooting should be considered the deformation of value-motivational sphere of an individual in children and adolescents. The key channel for spread and rooting of destructive attitudes among young people is messengers, where teenagers and children are actively recruited. However, the main hazard lies in the fact that these virtual contacts and connections subsequently find their consolidation and materialization in real environment of educational institutions, where “cells” of destructive behavior are formed, capable of attracting more and more new participants into their orbit.

Authors: Medeiros Shirlene Santos Mafra , Azevedo Rejane Edna dos Santos
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo objetiva explorar o conceito de self a partir da filosofia de George Herbert Mead e suas implicações na educação, apontando contribuições desse importante filósofo social para uma abordagem filosófica da Educação Ambiental, a fim de refletir e fazer uma breve análise das bases epistemológicas do seu pensamento para compreender melhor os conceitos que fundamentam sua teoria no que tange ao processo de desenvolvimento do homem e da sociedade e suas relações coma natureza e com o meio ambiente em geral. Além disso, propõe um trabalho educativo interdisciplinar na escola, no sentido de integrar o tema meio ambiente a todas as áreas do conhecimento, abrangendo todas as etapas de ensino, inclusive a Educação infantil. O trabalho de pesquisa busca por conhecimento em obras pouco exploradas de Mead, como The Philosophy of the Present (1932), The Philosophy of Act (1938), uma vez que almeja colheitas filosóficas promissoras que possam contribuir, de forma relevante, para uma educação mais reflexiva e consciente da grande responsabilidade de cuidar e promover a preservação sustentável do planeta Terra. Por fim, aponta caminhos para escola desenvolver uma proposta de Educação ambiental calcada em princípios filosóficos meadianos, com potencial para possibilitar aos estudantes a constituição de um self ambiental.
A SALA DE AULA: LUGAR DA VISITAÇÃO E DO ENCONTRO – ABORDAGENS FILOSÓFICAS
Authors: Alves Frederico Neri , Souza Antônio Alvimar
Published: September 2024

É notório o descaso que há com relação ao ensino de Filosofia e, de modo mais acirrado, no ensino de temas próprios desta disciplina no Ensino Médio. Para muitos, estes são temas abstratos e sem nenhuma relação com a vida e formação das pessoas. Mesmo para o processo de apreensão da realidade a Filosofia para muitos tem pouco a oferecer (ASPIS, 2009; CAMPANER, 2012; NOVAES, 2010), desconhecendo rapidamente a tradição do pensamento Ocidental que permeiam todas asestruturas da realidade onde estamos apoiados culturalmente. Ou do sentido amplo da existência social ou a tomada de consciência (conscientização). E há muitos que pensam que a aquisição de habilidades em Filosofia está relacionada com um grupo seleto de homens eruditos (GHEDIN, 2009). Assim, o embasamento científico da presente pesquisa está centrado na obra Descobrindo a Existência com Husserl e Heidegger, em particular os textos “O vestígio do Outro”, “Enigma e Fenômeno eLinguagem e Proximidade”, presentes na parte “Ensaios Breves”. Estes demonstraram conceitos levinasianos de Visitação, Encontro e sobre o Outro, apontando para a sua relação no processo de acolhimento da alteridade e o estabelecimento da ética da responsabilidade que surge com a fenomenologia do rosto (LÉVINAS, 1999).

Authors: Rodríguez Milagros Elena
Published: September 2024

Se analiza el principio hologramático en la Educación Decolonial Planetaria Compleja (EDPC), hacemos énfasis en las bonanzas de la ecosofía y diatopia, pues el transmétodo es la hermenéutica comprensiva, ecosófica y diatópica, recorriendo los momentos analíticos, empíricos y propositivos. En el momento propositivo, mostramos como la EDPC es una educación con alma, mente, cuerpo, corazón y espíritu. Una educación de la sensibilidad, de la condición humana; que recae en la complejidad del ser, haciendo ver en su educación su potencial y capacidad de compenetrarse con la responsabilidad en la tierra, con sus congéneres, con sus comunidades, con la humanidad. En la EDPC el principio hologramático quiere concebir desde la educación una nueva manera de habitar el planeta: ecosofía - diatopía de alta valía humana, del sujeto vivo, salvaguardado; y ello implica la tierra en su totalidad; para ello no descuidando dada un de sus sistemas; por lo que para reformar las mentes, es necesario re-ligar sin perder de vista las escalas de análisis de los fenómenos educativos, que seguramente se veían aisladas; ahora con el propósito de interactuar y percibir divisar las múltiples conexiones, sistemas complejos que ahora en su estudio es necesario pensar en esos bucles retroactivos.
A (controversa) trajetória da política nacional de ordenamento territorial no Brasil
Authors: Rocha Neto João Mendes da
Published: September 2024

A ordenação territorial ainda se estabelece como um tema ambivalente na agenda de políticas  públicas brasileiras, embora constitucionalizada, existe uma série de fatores de ordem institucional que tornam desafiadora a formação da política que trata do tema. Nesse sentido, entender a trajetória percorrida pelo processo de elaboração da Política Nacional de ordenamento Territorial (PNOT) é o objetivo do presente artigo. A pesquisa partiu de um debate conceitual, para então ir à busca de dados e publicações oficiais, que possibilitaram relacionar essa complexa arquitetura legal/institucional, que marcou aprimeira proposta da PNOT. A investigação demonstrou que, embora tenha se incorporado à agenda de governo com um razoável espaço institucional, aos poucos, a PNOT foi sendo secundarizada, frente a outras políticas públicas, o que resultou em seu desaparecimento, suscitando uma série de questões até hoje não respondidas. O artigo apresenta alguns elementos que possibilitam interpretar a controversa trajetória de elaboração da PNOT, e se esforça para aclarar as disputas e opções existentes na formação da agenda e do processo decisório nas esferas estratégicas de governo. Aspectos tratados na pesquisa podem servir de norte para compreensão desse complexo ambiente institucional que está por trás da formulação das políticas públicas.

Authors: Medina Benavides Sara Sofia , Sigrist Maria Rosângela , Baronio Gudryan Jackson , Corrêa Alcantara Daniel Maximo , Lima-Passos Jeane , Dos Santos Ferreira Bruno Henrique , Souza Camila Silveira
Published: September 2024

Here, were observed the interaction between Centrosema brasilianum (Fabaceae, Papilionoideae) and their floral visitors and quantified pollen removal and visitor traits. Aims: for to determine whether the behavior, quantity, and location of deposited pollen on the body of visiting bees differs according to the body size of bees. Methods: the morphological and behavioral attributes of floral and bees observed in interaction were measured in 20 individuals of C. brasilianum. The place of deposit and the amount of polinic charge in each bee were identified. The relationship between the attributes of the interactants and of pollen deposited was determined using simple linear models. Results: Bee behavior and pollen deposition on the body varied according to bee body size. Larger-sized bees with long tongues raised floral keels during visits and pollen deposition occurred on their heads and dorsal surfaces. Smaller individuals with short tongues did not raise the keel, and pollen was deposited on the dorsal surface, but mostly over the wings. Additionally, larger bees had twice as many pollen grains deposited on their body surfaces than smaller bees. Conclusions: we assumed that larger bees may provide a more effective pollination service than smaller bees in C. brasilianum. Implications: Future evaluations should be conducted that include more morphological and behavioral attributes in a larger sample number, which would provide a more nuanced understanding of pollination efficiency, the relationship between different behaviors and body sizes of bees, and the consequences of differential pollen deposition on the reproductive success of C. brasilianum.
Geoliteratura e Geopoética: Topofilia e Paisagem a partir da percepção do Menino em Campo Geral, de Guimarães Rosa
Authors: Silva Wagner Aparecido , Oliveira Ilca Vieira de , Silva Cássio Alexandre da
Published: September 2024

A geoliteratura e geopoética destacaram-se, desde 1980, nas abordagens geográficas, filosóficas e literárias advindas dos estudos do filósofo francês Merleau-Ponty, do poeta e filósofo francês Michel Collot acerca da categoria paisagem, nas contribuições de Yi-Fu Tuan concernentes ao lugar e outros estudos dos geógrafos humanistas cujas reflexões têm favorecido grandemente os estudos geoliterários. Na geoliteratura, as categorias geográficas dialogam com a prosa/poesia e adquirem uma significação que perpassa o recorte espacial puramente geográfico. Este artigo objetiva analisar literária e geograficamente a relação de comunhão com o lugar e paisagem a partir da percepção do menino protagonista da narrativa Campo Geral (1956), de Guimarães Rosa, mediante a revisão literária do referido conto e seu diálogo com os estudos dos mencionados autores, além de outros filósofos e geógrafos. Frente ao apagamento das memórias, das identidades com/nos lugares e às destruições das paisagens construídas e naturais, faz-se necessário resgatar estas categorias a partir do olhar da criança. Identificaram-se no conto as relações da criança com o lugar, nos aspectos: infante, infância, o lar, animais domésticos, fauna e flora do Cerrado, ensino/aprendizagem, tradições e brinquedos. Sob este prisma, a paisagem mostrou-se como elemento de autoconstrução do ser e estar no mundo.

Authors: Michael Loreantz Steven Tambunan  , Jessica Sjah  , Ayomi Dita Rarasati  , Ryan Sulistian  , Bambang Trigunarsyah
Published: September 2024

This research aims to extend prior knowledge of sky bridge isolations in a design case study that complies with building codes, focusing on the design of a multi-tower building linked with a sky bridge and its isolation system. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is used during the design process. Linear time history analysis is performed to capture seismic responses without statistical distortion of response combinations. Link elements are used to simulate the isolations, and the ground motions are excited in bidirectional directions. The experimental results demonstrate that using an isolation system at the sky bridge connection improves torsional behavior, as evidenced by a 12% reduction in torsional mass contribution in the fundamental mode shape of the buildings. Other notable improvements include better lateral force distributions and optimization of reinforcement volume by 36.91% at maximum. Additionally, convenient post-design procedures, such as automated design visualizations and quantity surveys of reinforcements are reported through using BIM.

Authors: Rinta Kridalukmana  , Dania Eridani  , Risma Septiana  , Ike Pertiwi Windasari
Published: September 2024

Previous studies show that the fuzzy-based approach predicts incoming floods better than machine learning (ML). However, with numerous observation points, difficulties in manually determining fuzzy rules and membership values increase. This research proposes a novel fuzzy logic-based learning (FLBL) that embeds missing data imputations and a fuzzy rule optimization strategy to enhance ML performance while still benefiting from fuzzy theory. The simple moving average handles sensors’ missing data. The logical mapping is used for fuzzification automation and fuzzy rule generation. The join function between the Szymkiewicz–Simpson coefficient similarity and max function is applied to optimize a fuzzy rules model. The case study uses observation data from three rivers traversing three districts in Semarang City. As a result, FLBL achieves 97.87% accuracy in predicting flood, outperforming the decision tree (96%) and the neural network (73.07%). This work is significant as a part of preventive flood-related disaster plans.

Authors: Shanshan Tang  , Mohd Danial Ibrahim  , Andrew Ragai Henry Rigit  , Wei Zhang  , Chaokun Wei
Published: September 2024

Particulate matter from coal and stone operations is a primary air pollution source. The traditional nozzle requires high-pressure conditions, and the atomization droplets are large and uneven. This paper aims to study a linear Laval nozzle and investigate the impact of water pressure on atomization performance. The volume of fluid (VOF) model and discrete phase model (DPM) of Fluent are used to simulate the internal and external fields of the nozzle and analyze the velocity, droplet size, and atomization angle. The results show that the optimized water pressure parameters are 0.1 MPa with an air pressure of 0.5 MPa. Droplets in the middle are smaller, while those on the sides are larger. Compared to traditional nozzles, the water pressure is reduced by over 90%, and the Sauter mean diameter (SMD) decreases by over 50%. Moreover, the theoretical spray angle increases by approximately 150%.

Published: September 2024

The iron ore industry faces increasing electricity demand due to industrialization, making effective management of electricity demand crucial. This study proposes a temperature compensation model using Support Vector Regression (SVR), aiming to enhance the accuracy of sensors in monitoring electricity demand. An experiment is conducted to assess the impact of temperature on sensor measurements, and a modified Whale Optimization Algorithm is employed to correct the sensor outputs. The proposed model is compared with both PSO-SVR and unimproved WOA-SVR. Results show that the proposed model significantly improves accuracy, achieving a determination coefficient of 0.7882 and a relative standard deviation of the error square sum of 4.6412%. The results of this study not only enhance power demand management in iron mining but also hold potential applications across various industries.

Published: September 2024

Given the increasing importance of cascading trip prevention, this study presents the pumped storage characteristics to cooperate with thermal units and further ensure the safety of grid operation. The proposed model comprises two phases: the first phase is the day-ahead decision-making phase, which synergistically optimizes thermal units and pumped storage to improve the flexibility of grid operation; the second phase is the intra-day adjustment phase considering the uncertainty of the wind-photovoltaic and transmission line failure outage to enhance the robustness. Furthermore, this model employs a column and constraint generation algorithm to solve the two-phase, three-layer optimization problem, thereby minimizing the adjustment cost under the riskiest scenarios. The experimental results show that adding pumped storage reduces the total system operating cost by 3.99%, the renewable energy abandonment rate to 0.65%, and the thermal power unit output standard deviation to 74.13 MW.

Authors: Abayes Sahi , Khalaf Muhsen , Al-Zubaydi Jaffar
Published: September 2024

The progress of urban and economic growth in Iraq necessitates the enlargement of civil infrastructure, which includes the establishment of road networks to enhance intercity connections. To fulfil these requirements, it is crucial to guarantee the accessibility of raw materials that conform to authorized international and local standards. Therefore, this study aims to undertake an engineering evaluation of the aggregate resources and assess their compatibility with both local and international specifications. The ultimate goal is to ascertain their suitability for utilization in road engineering and construction projects, thereby contributing to the ongoing development efforts in the region. This study comprehensively examined the physical, chemical, and engineering properties of aggregate deposits in the Al-Malah, Abu Khemsat, and Al-Rahimawi valleys situated at the Bahr Al-Najaf depression. Samples were collected from 10 sites in Al-Maleh, 5 stations in Abu Khemsat, and 5 stations in the Al-Rahimawi valleys. Grain size analysis indicated that the sub-base material falls within the specified limits outlined in the Iraqi Standards for Roads and Bridges. Numerous tests were conducted, including mechanical corrosion, compaction test, Atterberg limits, and chemical analysis. It is required to discuss these results briefly to affirm that the studied aggregates meet the requirements outlined in global specifications for engineering projects, particularly in the construction of roads. To obtain aggregates within the approved standard, some corrections must be made for it.
Evaluation of Landslide Hazards Using the Landslide Possibility Index: The Influence of the Exposed Rocks on Landslides in Kirkuk-Koysinjaq Main Road, Northern Iraq
Authors: Tokmachy Aomed , Mohammad Omar
Published: September 2024

Landslides on slopes occur for various reasons and lead to significant economic losses, adverse influences on the environment, and fatal accidents. The newly constructed road within mountainous areas between the Shewan area and the Taq Taq district linking Kirkuk Governorate to Koysinjaq city experiences annual landslides. This paper aims to use the Landslide Possibility Index (LPI) system to evaluate the stability of slopes, identify the factors that control potential landslides and their severity, as well as the extent and scope of the risks to which slope faces are exposed. Four stations were chosen, data were collected, aerial photographs were studied, and detailed fieldwork was conducted to measure the ten LPI system parameters. The results show that the studied stations varied in failure possibilities, hazard zones, and categories, and that one of the main reasons for the slope failures in the study area is improper road cuttings with a steep angle to the slopes. There is clear control of the exposed rocks on the failures in the studied stations. The severe weathering of the claystone layers within the Bai Hassan Formation triggers secondary types of failures, which are governed by bottom weathering mechanism. Factors like failure to construct sewers or channels to drain rainwater, lack of ditches on the two side of the road, and the absence of fall-preventing techniques and slope stabilization solutions worsen the situation and escalate the hazard of failures.
Predicting Permeability of the Mishrif Reservoir for Non-Cored Wells by Integrating Conventional Well Logs, Routine Core Analysis, and Drilling Data: A Case Study of Southeastern Iraq
Authors: Ali Hussein , Chafet Hussein
Published: September 2024

This study evaluates the effective permeability of the Mishrif reservoir using porosity-permeability relationships within the hydraulic flow unit framework. It uses different methods, including hydraulic flow unit (HFU) analysis, the classical method, and empirical correlations, by integrating the conventional well logs, routine core analysis, and drilling data by using Techlog software to predict permeability for non-cored wells in three wells (X-7, X-13, and X-15) for the Mishrif Formation, which is located in the Buzurgan oilfield in a southeastern Iraqi oilfield. Environmental corrections are applied to ensure accurate interpretations of log data, showing that the results of the corrections removed the borehole effects for density and gamma-ray logs. Clay volume calculations, porosity estimations, and permeability calculations are performed for the reservoir units (mA, mB, and mC) within the Mishrif Formation. The Mishrif Formation is characterized by limestone with some dolomite, indicating secondary porosity and gas effects; these results were confirmed by core and drilling descriptions. The hydraulic flow unit uses techniques that are significantly different from other flow units, such as vertically and laterally dividing the reservoir into zones to control and manage fluid flow. By using the relationships of the flow zone indicator method, each flow unit can be distinguished. In addition, the calculated porosity is confirmed by core porosity, where high matching exists between them. The FZI method provides accurate permeability estimation of the reservoir quality. It identifies the flow unit utilized for non-cored intervals in the Mishrif carbonate reservoirs, where the result is confirmed by core permeability, outperforming the classical method and empirical correlations.

Stasionar mənbələrdən atmosferə atılan azot və karbon oksidlərinin miqdarına görə ilk yerdə dayanan Bakının Səbail inzibati rayonunun eyni zamanda, qan dövranı sisteminin xəstəliklərinin insidentliyinə görə də 1-ci yerdə olduğu qeyd edilir. Ürək-damar sistemi xəstəliklərinin insidentliyi ilə atmosferə atılan çirkləndirici maddələr arasında əlqənin korrelyasiya əmsalları karbon oksidləri üçün 0,84 (r=0.84, P=0.0006), azot oksidləri üçün 0,77 (r=0.77, P=0.005) olaraq müəyyənləşdirilmişdir. Bu maddələrlə qan dövranı sistemi xəstəliklərinin coğrafi yayılması arasında statistik əhəmiyyətli düzxətli və müsbət əlaqə vardır.
Ağabeyim Ağa Cevanşir ve Heyran Hanım Dünbüli Şiirinde Gurbet Motifi
Authors: Rahimova Lamiye
Published: September 2024

Farklı yüzyıllarda Azerbaycan klasik edebiyatının ufuklarında Mehseti Gencevi, Ağabeyim Ağa Cevanşir, Aşık Peri, Gevher Ağa, Heyran Hanım, Hurşudbanu Natevan, Aşık Besti, Fatma Hanım kemine gibi hanım şairler parlamıştır. Zengin sanat mirasına sahip olmalarına rağmen ne yazık ki, birçok değerli şairimizin edebî mirası çeşitli tarihi sebeplerden dolayı bize ulaşamamış veya yazıya geçirilememiştir. Böylesine zengin bir sanatsal kimliğe sahip kadın şairlerimiz arasında Ağabeyim Ağa Cevanşiri ve Heyran Hanım Dünbüli'yi özellikle belirtmemiz gerekir. Çünkü bu iki kadın şairi birbirine bağlayan, vatan özlemiyle harmanlanmış gurbet hayatıdır. Geride bıraktıkları edebî miras, sadece eserlerinin değil hayatlarının da incelenmesi ve araştırılması açısından bizlere değerli malzeme sunmaktadır. Aynı zamanda, her iki şairin hayat hikayesi, vatanlarının devletçilik geleneği ve yabancı ülkelerce işgal durumu, siyasi gündemi, gelişme ve gerilemesi ile yakından ilgiliydi. Bu bağlamda Ağabeyim Ağa'nın İran sarayında vatanının hürriyeti için verdiği mücadele ile Heyran Hanım'ın memleketinin istikbali için verdiği mücadele paralellik arz etmektedir. Ağabeyim Ağa, Karabağ’ın Ruslar tarafından istilasının önüne geçebilmek için çeşitli yollar denemiş fakat bir sonuç alamamıştır. Öte yandan Heyran Hanım, Şehzade Abbas Mirza’nın Ruslarla yaptığı savaş sırasında Nahçivan’ın dağılmasına isyan etmiş elinden bir şey gelmeyince de üzülerek derdini mısralarla anlatmıştır. Aslında Ağa Beyim Ağa’nın ve Heyran Hanım’ın şiirlerinde gördüğümüz keder, hüzün, ıztırab yalnız özel hayatındaki facialardan dolayı değil, aynı zamanda halkının acı ve ağır hayatlarının da belirtisiydi.

Published: September 2024

In this study, leaf and fruit samples of Phytolacca americana collected in the early, mature and senescence period from localities with different habitat characteristics (non-polluted, polluted and wetland) were studied. The total phenolic content, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), radical scavenging activity and iron (III) reduction antioxidant power (FRAP) of the water and methanol extracts of the samples dried in oven and at room temperature were evaluated and compared as statistically. According to the results of the analyses, the highest phenolic content (263.25 mg GAE/g sample) was found in the leaf parts of the plant collected from the wetland during the senescence period, dried at room temperature and extracted with water. The lowest phenolic content (0.22 mg GAE/g sample) was determined in water extract of the fruit parts of the plant collected from the same locality in the same period. Among the antioxidant activity values determined, the highest and lowest findings belong to these samples. It can be concluded that each tested variable is statistically significant for both the leaf and fruit parts, and by bringing these variables under suitable conditions, biochemically more efficient use of plants can be achieved.
Effect of HbA1c on The Severity of Diastolic Dysfunction in Type Two Diabetic Patients Presenting to the Cardiology Department, Mardan Medical Complex: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Ayub Azhar , Khalil Adeel Ahmed , Batool Saman , Khan Saeed
Published: September 2024

Objectives: This study aimed to delineate the graded impact of HbA1c levels on the severity of diastolic dysfunction among patients presenting to the cardiology department at Mardan Medical Complex.
Methodology: A total of 151 consenting T2DM patients, aged 20 to 65, were enrolled in the study. Participants were categorized into three groups based on their HbA1c levels: <8, 8-10, and >10. Transthoracic echocardiography was utilized to assess left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.
Results: Of the participants, 61 were male and 90 were female. Notably, 85 patients (56.30%) exhibited HbA1c levels >10, among whom 18 (21%) were diagnosed with LVDD grade III, 51 (60%) with LVDD grade II, and 16 (19%) with LVDD grade I (p<0.001). Females were predominantly affected, constituting 59.6% of the study cohort. A significantly positive correlation was observed between LVDD and HbA1c levels (r=0.841; p<0.001).
Conclusion: This study underscores a significant relationship between the severity of diastolic dysfunction and HbA1c levels in T2DM patients. Poor glycemic control, as evidenced by elevated HbA1c levels, correlates with heightened diastolic dysfunction. The findings highlight the critical importance of optimizing glycemic control in individuals with T2DM to mitigate the risk of cardiovascular complications, particularly diastolic dysfunction.

Published: September 2024

Objectives: This study aims to determine and compare regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), along with associated common complications.
Methodology: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in the cardiology department of Mardan Medical Complex from June to November 2023. Patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (both STEMI and NSTEMI) were included. Data were collected using a convenient sampling technique. Ethical approval was obtained prior to data collection, which was performed using a predesigned questionnaire. RWMA assessments were conducted by an expert in accordance with the American Society of Echocardiography guidelines using a Toshiba Xario200 Echocardiography machine. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.
Results: Out of 274 patients, 156 (56.9%) were male and 118 (43.1%) were female, with 136 (50%) from the STEMI group and 136 (50%) from the NSTEMI group. The mean age of the respondents was 57.4 ± 13.1 years. RWMA was observed in both types of MI, with significant differences (p < 0.05) found between STEMI and NSTEMI in several segments: basal anterior (5.83% vs. 1.82%), basal anteroseptal (16.23% vs. 2.55%), basal anterolateral (14.59% vs. 3.23%), basal inferior (18.61% vs. 2.91%), apical anterior (5.09% vs. 1.45%), and apical septal (5.46% vs. 1.82%). Severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction was observed in only 2 (0.73%) STEMI patients, while severe pulmonary hypertension was more common in NSTEMI patients.
Conclusion: RWMA is a common finding in STEMI patients. Echocardiography plays a crucial role in the early detection of RWMA, which can improve prognosis and reduce the risk of complications.

Objective: a study was conducted about the use of different manure tea, bovine (T1), sheep (T2), poultry manure (T3) and the control (T0).
 
Theoretical Framework: The use of synthetic fertilisers with a high carbon footprint, due to their environmental implications, is currently a matter of great concern in the international scientific community. For this reason, the use of environmentally friendly alternative resources is a subject of great interest, and has been the reason for researching alternatives for their application in practice.
 
Method: They were applied at 15 days post cut of the preset alfalfa crop, the investigation lasted 184 days the size of the experimental units were 4x5 meters with five replicates per treatment damaged a total of 20 experimental plots with a total net area of 400 square meters test. The distribution of treatment was performed using a nested design complete randomized block experiment.
 
Results and Discussion: The results report that the best results were obtained by applying the treatment of poultry manure tea in the three replicas of the production test with an average of three cuts of green fodder, dry matter, plant height, stems/plant, leaf/stem, coverage area, basal coverage, and cost of 12.05 tons/ha/cut of green fodder, 2.17 tons/ha/cut of dry matter, 79.91 cm plant height, stem 53.04/plant, leaves 41.40/stem, 94.26% coverage area, 61.74% of basal coverage and 141% return. So, we recommend using poultry manure to cut 15 days post because the best production rates were reported.
 
Research Implications: At the local level, these results are very interesting due to the fragility of biodiversity and anthropogenic changes that have caused severe pressure on biotic components.
 
Originality/Value: The lack of information on fertilisation alternatives makes this work unprecedented and contributes to the generation of information for the livestock sector in Ecuador and the region.
