Published: November 2020

The interest to study the genus Bidens and in particular Bidens tripartita L. (bur-marigold herb) is unmitigated due to its antioxidant, anti-allergic, antimicrobial, antifungal, hepatoprotective, immunostimulating and hypotensive activity. This pharmacological activities are determined by the presence of flavonoids, polyphenolic compounds, polysaccharides, components of essential oils, polyacetylenes, etc. The aim of the research was to study the process of extracting various biologically active substances (polysaccharides, flavonoids, polyphenols) from bur-marigold herb with water-alcohol mixtures of various concentrations, to study their component composition, as well as to evaluate their effect on the oxidative effect of free radicals. Materials and methods. The object of the research was the herb of Bidens tripartita L. Raw materials were collected and procured on the territory of Kharkiv, Zhytomyr and Poltava regions of Ukraine. All used methods for the quantitative determination of biologically active substances were pharmacopeial and described in various monographs in the European Pharmacopoeia and State Pharmacopoeia of Ukraine. Results. The extracts of the bur-marigold herb were analyzed for the content of the extractable matter, flavonoids, polysaccharides and it was found that they are maximally extracted (about 80 %) in the 1st percolate with a drug/solvent ratio of 1:10 for all the extractants. It was found that with an increase of ethanol concentration in the extraction mixture, the content of polyphenols and flavonoids, is expectedly increased, as well as the value of the antioxidant activity of the corresponding extracts, but the amount of extracted polysaccharides is significantly reduced. Conclusions. With the selected evaluation criteria, it was found that 40 % ethanol is optimal from the point of view of balanced extraction of flavonoids, polysaccharides and polyphenols. A strong positive and statistically significant correlation was found between the content of polyphenols in the obtained extracts and their antioxidant activity (Pearson correlation coefficient, r=0.9998), slightly weaker for flavonoids (r=0.9886), and an inverse correlation between polysaccharides content and TEAC- value.

The aim of this study is the analysis of the equivalent stress on the rear foot structures in retrocalcaneal bursitis, when using heel-elevation insoles of different heights (10 mm and 20 mm). Methods – mathematical calculations of the Achilles force required in the heel-off of the gait stance phase in the conditions of lifting the heel by 10 mm and 20 mm. A 3D-simulation foot model with an enlarged retrocalcaneal bursa was created. The analysis was carried out by the finite element method to calculate and study the stress and strain in the rear foot structures. Results. When using a 10.0 mm height heel-elevation insole, the calf muscle strength, which must be applied to the heel-off of the gait stance phase, was 19.0 % less than without support and 26.8 % less in 20.0 mm insole. Accordingly, analyzing the simulation results in terms of von-Mises stress, the maximum stress observed on the Achilles tendon decreases by 20.0 % and by 30.0 %. The total deformations maximum in the model when using heel-elevation insoles decreased up to 18.1 % and they were localized not in the tendon, but in the bone structures of subtalar joint. The maximum values of the total deformation of the model in the case of 10.0 mm and 20.0 mm heel-elevation insoles were 91.67 mm (–20.2 %) and 80.04 mm (–30.3 %), respectively, compared 114.92 mm in the absence of insoles. When using insole with a height of 10.0 mm, the stress in the retrocalcaneal bursa decreased by 20.0 % and was equal to 14.92 MPa compared to 18.66 MPa, and when using a 20.0 mm insoles - by 30.0 %. Conclusions. It was found that when using 10.0–20.0 mm heel-elevation insoles, the stress distribution in the rear foot structures was significantly reduced by an average of 20.0-30.0 % and correlated with the height of the insoles.

Authors: Teslenko Mariia , Chernyshova Lyudmila
Published: November 2020

The leading cause of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in children is rotavirus. In different countries, different rotavirus genotypes prevail and are associated with different severity of disease. The purpose of our study was to identify the distribution of rotavirus genotypes in Kyiv, Ukraine, and to determine the correlation between the genotypes and course of disease. Materials and methods. 978 children under 5 years of age were examined with АGE symptoms and not vaccinated against rotavirus. Determination of rotavirus antigen and genotype were performed using the immunoenzymatic assay and real-time RT-PCR. We assessed the demographics, clinical manifestations of AGE, the Vesikari scale AGE severity. Results. The G4P[8] genotype prevailed in Ukraine during 2014-2018. The G1P[8] was the second most common. G9P8 was the third, the fourth place was shared by G2P[4] and G3P[8]. Fever, as a manifestation, was more pronounced in G1P[8] and G3P[9]. The highest number of vomiting episodes per day occurred in the G1P[8] and G4P[8]-related cases. Maximum of diarrhea episodes per day was observed in genotypes G1P[8], G3P[8], G4P[8] and G9P[8]. Mucus and blood in stool were found in genotypes G3P[8] (1/33.33 %), G4P[8] – blood (1/2.27 %). The children with genotypes G1P[8] and G4P[8] had catarrhal symptoms. More cases of moderate and severe dehydration, occurred in the G4P[8]. The Vesikari scale analysis showed that only G1P[8] led to mild cases(3.57 %). The most widespread genotypes, G1P[8] and G4P[8], led to a moderate illness in 14.29 % and 13.56 % cases, respectively, and to a severe illness in 82.14 % and 86.44 % cases, respectively. Conclusions. G4P[8] was associated with the most severe disease due to more frequent and prolonged vomiting, febrile fever and bloody diarrhea. G1P[8] and G4P[8] were associated with catarrh.

Authors: Slobodian Yuliia , Golianovskyi Oleg
Published: November 2020

Repeat cesarean sections (CS) are associated with additional risks of perioperative complications. The aim of our study was ultrasound evaluation of uterine involution in women after repeat traditional cesarean delivery and after repeat CS using argon plasma coagulation and prophylactic use of tranexamic acid and carbetocin. Materials and methods. Prospective cohort study has been conducted on 140 patients who underwent second CS. Group I included 70 women who had repeat CS with the use of argon plasma coagulation and administration of 100 mcg carbetocin after cutting the umbilical cord. Ten minutes before the operation, 15 mg/kg of tranexamic acid was injected intravenously. Group II consisted of 70 women who had traditional CS, 10 IU dose of oxytocin, divided between 5 UI intravenous bolus dose and slow intravenous infusion, was administered after delivery of the baby. A serial ultrasonographic examination was carried out on the 2nd and 5th day of the postpartum period. Results. A study of the dynamics of changes in uterine body and uterine cavity volume revealed a faster rate of uterine cavity involution in group I compared with group II (p<0.05). In group I on the 5th day in comparison to the 2nd day the mean uterine body volume decreased by 27.75%, in group II – by 20.17%. In group I mean uterine cavity volume declined in three days by 21.09%, in group II – 14.22%. Uterine subinvolution was diagnosed in 3 (4,29%) cases in group I and in 19 (27,14%) cases in group II (p<0.05). Faster uterine involution in group I is probably associated with techniques, that were applied during intraoperative period. In addition, 2.86% (2 cases) from the group I versus 31.43% (22 cases) from the group II, needed additional uterotonic therapy after surgery (methylergometrine, misoprostol) (p<0.001). Conclusion. We have found differences in the course of uterine involution in women in group I in comparison with group II, such as significantly smaller uterine length on the 2nd and 5th day, significantly smaller uterine body and uterine cavity volume, faster rates of involution of the uterine cavity during the first 5 days of the postpartum period, thinner anterior uterine wall in the sutured area. We therefore conclude that complex use of tranexamic acid, carbetocin and argon plasma coagulation appears to be effective to maintain adequate uterine involution after repeat CS and prevent postoperative complications.

Područje intervencija u kontekstu potpomognute komunikacije koje kao temeljeni princip upotrebljavaju modeliranje istraživačko je područje koje se intenzivnije razvija posljednjih nekoliko godina. Unatoč brojnim pokazateljima da je strategija modeliranja jezičnog unosa svrhovita za jezični razvoj, modeliranje se u kliničkom radu tradicionalno povezuje s modeliranjem gesti, manualnih znakova i govornih oblika, a puno rjeđe u kontekstu modeliranja uporabe grafičkih simbola, komunikacijskih ploča, knjiga ili visokotehnoloških uređaja paralelno s govorom. Intervencije potpomognute komunikacije koje uključuju modeliranje (engl. AAC modeling interventions) usmjerene su na poticanje jezičnih sposobnosti djece koja upotrebljavaju potpomognutu komunikaciju. U radu će se obrazložiti teorijsko ishodište koncepta obogaćenog jezičnog unosa koji je zapravo strategija “receptivnog jezičnog treninga”. U okviru ove strategije ključna je uloga komunikacijskog partnera koji istodobno govori i pokazuje na grafičke simbole. Obogaćeni jezični unos ima svoje uporište u konstruktivističkim i socio-interakcionističkim teorijama jezičnog razvoja te u svojoj izvedbi upravo oponaša način na koji djeca tipičnoga razvoja usvajaju jezik. Pregled literature pokazuje da postoje brojni dokazi o učinkovitosti primjene obogaćenog jezičnog unosa u području komunikacijskog i jezičnog razvoja (Dada i Alant, 2009; Drager, 2009; Sennott, Light i McNaughton, 2016). Pregledni rad donosi ključne podatke o konceptu obogaćenog jezičnog unosa, terminološkom razvoju, istraživanjima i kliničke preporuke s ciljem približavanja ovog koncepta kako u istraživačkom, tako i u kliničkom radu.

Background:Physiotherapy plays an important role in the prevention and management of sports injuries to enable athletes return to play when fully fit. In Ghana first aid personnel and team masseurs generally manage sports injuries. Inadequate knowledge on the role of Physiotherapy may be the reason for not seeking Physiotherapy services.We objectively set out to determine the knowledge and perception about the role of Physiotherapy in managing sports injuries among hockey players and technical staff.Methods:This cross-sectional study involved 65 members of 15 hockey teams in Accra. Participants included female and male hockey players between the ages of 15 and 50, coaches and team managers. They were made to complete a self-administered questionnaire. Data obtained was analyzed using SPSS, version 23. Spearman correlation was used to determine the association between variables at a significant level of 5%.Results:Fifty hockey players and 15 technical staff took part in the study. Majority (94%) and (91%) of participants identified ice and exercises as modalities used by Physiotherapists.About 66.2% of hockey players had high knowledge and perception (p=0.032) about the role of Physiotherapy and reported that 18% of their injuries were treated by a Physiotherapist while majority (89%) were of the view that a Physiotherapist is a competent professional. Sixty-six percent participants perceived that Physiotherapists were involved in research, however, there was no significant association between, knowledge, perception and years of experience of hockey players (p=0.945) and technical staff (p=0.201).Conclusion:Majority of participants had good knowledge and perception on the role of Physiotherapy in training common hockey injuries, although very few of their injuries were managed by Physiotherapists. There is a need to educate players and technical staff on the role of Physiotherapy in the prevention and management of sports injuries, which may encourage players to seek early treatment for injuries rehabilitation.

Pojęcie reprezentacji mentalnych a problem intencjonalności w ujęciu teleosemantyki
Authors: Buczkowska Janina
Published: November 2020

Niniejszy artykuł poświęcony jest zagadnieniu wyjaśnienia poznania w teleosemantyce, która jest najbardziej zaawansowaną wersją reprezentacyjnej teorii umysłu. Krytyka reprezentacjonizmu ze strony teorii poznania ucieleśnionego powoduje, że założenia i tezy teorii reprezentacyjnych powinny zostać poddane analizie w kontekście pytania o adekwatność i sukces tego podejścia. Głównym założeniem tego podejścia jest teza, że procesy poznawcze jak percepcja, myślenie pojęciowe, wiedza itp. polegają na wytwarzaniu reprezentacji mentalnych i operowaniu nimi. Materialną składową reprezentacji mentalnych są stany neuronalne mózgu (np. wzorce pobudzeń neuronów), będące nośnikami treści poznawczych. Głównym problemem tego podejścia jest wyjaśnienie przypisywania stanom mózgu treści pełniących funkcję reprezentacji. Teleosemantyka łączy wyjaśnienie nadawania treści z zagadnieniem intencjonalności stanów mentalnych i tezą o reprezentacyjnym charakterze poznania. Jako punkt wyjścia, zostały omówione związki jakie zachodzą pomiędzy ogólnym pojęciem reprezentacji a intencjonalnością. Ogólna struktura reprezentacji jest strukturą spełniającą warunki intencjonalności zarówno w sensie „bycia o czymś”, jak i skierowania na przedmiot intencjonalny. Problemem do rozwiązania jest konstytuowanie relacji reprezentacji i przypisywanie treści stanom mózgu. Następnie podana została analizie propozycja rozwiązania tego problemu przedstawiona przez R. Millikan w jej teorii teleosemantyki. Upatruje ona źródło intencjonalności w biologicznych funkcjach zdobywania informacji niezbędnej do przetrwania. Funkcje te spełniane są przez relacje konstytuujące reprezentacje mentalne. Semantyka reprezentacji jest nadana przez cel funkcji biologicznej, natomiast warunki prawdziwości skorelowane są z własnościami otoczenia. Końcowa część poświęcona jest omówieniu ograniczeń takiego ujęcia i przedstawieniu krytyki ze strony stanowisk antyreprezentacyjnych. Prowadzi to do konkluzji, że teleosemantyka, rozwijając relacyjne rozumienie reprezentacji wnosi do wyjaśnienia poznania ważny element. Łączy pojęcie intencjonalności z reprezentowaniem świata w umyśle. Nie daje jednak jeszcze pełnej odpowiedzi na pytanie o konstytucję treści poznawczych. Nie powinna też być traktowana jako jedyny i uniwersalny sposób rozwiązania problemu treści, ale jako jedna z propozycji wyjaśnienia elementów poznania wyposażonych w treść intencjonalną.
Między podmiotem absolutnym a bytową nieokreślonością. O antyhumanistycznych źródłach współczesnej kultury
Authors: Warzyński Sylwester
Published: November 2020

Artykuł jest próbą ukazania źródeł współczesnej kultury. Autor stawia w nim tezę, że u jej podstaw znajduje się dziś myślenie w gruncie rzeczy antyhumanistyczne – myślenie spod znaku „śmierci człowieka”, jego bytowej nieokreśloności, ale również spod znaku nowożytnego cogito, podmiotu zabsolutyzowanego, który staje się szczególnego rodzaju fundamentem, ostatecznym podłożem rzeczywistości. W pierwszej części autor przedstawia specyfikę nowożytnego rozumienia bytu ludzkiego, zgodnie z którą człowiek – jako podmiot myślący, poznający, samoświadomy, racjonalny – przypisuje sobie rolę nowożytnego suwerena, Demiurga, jedynego ustawodawcy i architekta nowego, prawdziwie ludzkiego świata. W ten sposób – zgodnie ze znaczeniem słowa „podmiot” – człowiek staje się „ostatecznym podłożem” rzeczywistości. Dalej autor wykazuje, że absolutyzowanie podmiotu, przypisywanie mu coraz to większych kompetencji, doprowadza ostatecznie do jego podważenia i zanegowania. Odwołując się do koncepcji takich filozofów jak Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sartre, Foucault, Derrida twierdzi, że negacja kartezjańskiego cogito, „śmierć” pewnej określonej wizji człowieka jako podmiotu rodzi myślenie, zgodnie z którym człowiek staje się bytowo nieokreślony.Zarówno nowoczesne jak i ponowoczesne spojrzenie zostały w pewien sposób naznaczone myśleniem antyhumanistycznym. W jednym i drugim przypadku mamy bowiem do czynienia z nierealistycznym spojrzeniem na człowieka. Autor mówi o „antyhumanizmie pana i władcy” oraz „antyhumanizmie zluzowanego” i wskazuje, że właśnie one stanowią swego rodzaju podglebie współczesnego humanizmu. W punkcie ostatnim pokazano, że sposób rozumienia roli podmiotu na przestrzeni ostatnich kilku wieków, został zbudowany na niezwykle prostej opozycji – wszystko albo nic. Ponieważ nieprawdą jest, że podmiot jest dla siebie całkowicie racjonalny, przejrzysty, że jest autonomicznym panem samego siebie, musi zniknąć, trzeba o nim zapomnieć, stąd idea „śmierci człowieka”. W tym kontekście, odwołując się do intuicji francuskiej profesor filozofii Chantal Delsol, autor przedstawia próbę wyjścia z aporii między nowoczesnym podmiotem absolutnym, samowystarczalnym, a ponowoczesnym podmiotem, którego właściwie nie ma. Wskazuje na konieczność realistycznego spojrzenia na człowieka, gdyż tylko na takim spojrzeniu można zbudować prawdziwie humanistyczną kulturę.
Applications of Umbilical Cord Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Autoimmune and Immunological Disorders: From Literature to Clinical Practice
Authors: Abbaspanah Bahareh , Reyhani Samira , Mousavi Seyed H.
Published: November 2020

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) enable a novel approach to stem cell therapy. Bone
Marrow (BM) was the first source used in MSCs therapy. However, BM has a number of key limitations
as a source of MSCs, such as the existence of only a small number of MSCs in the tissue;
the painful, ethically problematic, and invasive nature of the associated collection process; and a decrease
in MSC specifications as the age of donors increases. As a result, there has been increasing
scholarly attention towards identifying alternative sources for MSCs. In specific, Umbilical Cord
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UC-MSCs) have been identified as a valuable source from which MSC
may be obtained with potentially fewer ethical issues. MSCs can regulate the immune response,
promote tissue repair, increase regeneration, and improve anticancer effects. Thus, they are significant
allogenic and autologous representatives for curing malignant and non-malignant disorders. In
this review, therefore, the prospective applications for curing autoimmune disorders will be considered.

Authors: Yu Xiaodong , Wu Guangpeng , Zhou Wenkai , Bi Hongwei , Wang Yu , Gao Weicheng , Jiang Hui
Published: November 2020

Background:

The eccentric load has a great influence on the bearing capacity, which can
easily lead to a decrease in bearing capacity or even the destruction of working conditions.

Objective:

The prospects for bearing eccentric load research are put forward, hoping to provide some help for the development and optimization of bearings.

Methods:

According to recently published patents and journal papers, the theoretical and experimental research on bearing eccentric load conditions are summarized, and research progress at home and abroad is discussed. This article summarizes the research status of bearing anti-eccentric load. Finally, the research direction of bearing eccentric load and the research direction of anti-eccentric load are prospected.

Results:

The article discusses eccentric load-bearing theory method, simulation method, detection method, experimental method and anti-eccentric load method.

Conclusion:

Aiming at the research hotspot of eccentric load, this paper collects and analyzes the literature
at home and abroad on theoretical analysis, experimental testing, anti-eccentric load and so on. After
research, scholars at home and abroad have made good progress in the direction of the eccentric
load, and put forward some methods and devices that have been applied in practical engineering. However,
the detection of eccentric load and the anti-eccentric load cannot be synchronized, and the robustness
of the design system is poor. Research on eccentric load at home and abroad is still in its infancy.

Authors: Riaz Umar , Tayyeb Muhammad , Amin Arslan Ahmed
Published: November 2020

Dealing with the complexity of modern technological non-linear systems and their disturbances is
a very challenging issue. Sliding Mode Control (SMC) can deal perfectly with the non-linear systems and
their disturbances because its accuracy and stability are very high. In this paper, a brief review of SMC
types, SMC methods, and SMC in the field of Fault Tolerant Control (FTC), are provided. It also gives brief
details about the reaching phase, sliding phase, and sliding surface, with their advantages and disadvantages.
Further, chattering, which is the main drawback of SMC, is discussed and methods to resolve the chattering
are also provided. In the end, various types of FTC are discussed and potential use of SMC in the design of
FTC has been described. This paper will give comprehensive state-of-the-art to new researchers about the
implementation of SMC in the FTC domain for further research.

Published: November 2020

Background:

There are different types of pollutants in water hence they are
constantly in competition for active sites during the adsorption process. A key advantage
of competitive adsorption studies is that these inform regarding the adsorbent’s performance
in real water treatment applications.

Objective:

This study aims to investigate the competitive adsorption of Pb(II), Cu(II),
Fe(II) and Zn(II) using elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) biochar and hybrid biochar
from LDPE.

Method:

The produced biochar was characterised by Scanning Electron Microscopy
(SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The adsorption parameters,
equilibrium isotherm modelling and parametric studies were conducted based on data
from the batch adsorption experiments.

Results:

For both adsorbents, the removal efficiency was >99% over the entire investigation
for dosage and contact time, suggesting that they are very efficient for removing multiple
heavy metals from aqueous media. It was observed that removal efficiency was optimal
at 2 g/l dosage and contact time was 20 minutes for both adsorbent types. The Elovich
isotherm and the pseudo-second order kinetic models were best-fit for the competitive
adsorption process.

Conclusion:

The study was able to successfully reveal that biomass biochar from elephant
grass and hybrid biochar from LDPE can be used as effective adsorbent material for
the removal of heavy metals from aqueous media. This study bears a positive implication
for environmental protection and solid waste management.
CORRELATION BETWEEN LOCUS OF CONTROL WITH STRESS CARE OF NURSES IN HOSPITAL AT SOEBANDI HOSPITAL JEMBER
Authors: Dewi Erti Ikhtiarini , Kurniyawan Enggal Hadi , Rosalia Afrize
Published: November 2020

Nurses are health workers who have an important role in the hospital. Nurses areprofessionals who have both positive and negative impacts. One of the negative impactsexperienced by nurses is the work stress of nurses. Nurse work stress is a situation wherenurses experience pressure caused by many tasks and jobs that cannot be fulfilled. Inaddition to the high workload, locus of control is also one of the factors that influencework stress on nurses. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between locus ofcontrol with nurses working stress in patients at dr. Soebandi Jember hospital. Thisstudy uses a correlational research design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of71 respondents used a purposive sampling approach using the locus of control scaleand OSI-R (Occupational Stress Inventory-Revised Edition). The statistical test usedis Spearman. The results are based on the Kendall Tau statistical test with a p-valueof 0.032 and a value of r = -0.249, which means that the relationship between locus ofcontrol and occupational nursesâ€™ work stress has a negative correlation direction witha weak correlation strength. A negative correlation shows that the higher the locusof control in nurses, the lower the work stress experienced by nurses. A high locus ofcontrol on nurses has a positive impact on the quality of work of nurses, especially inmaintaining the emotional care of a nurse in carrying out professional tasks. Thereforethe hospital should be able to provide health education programs about the importanceof locus of control and work stress on nurses because it can affect the quality of nursingcare provided to patients.

Newborns in intensive unit receives a number of invasive procedures that would causeschanges in sensitizationof pain and possible long-term effects on childâ€™s subsequentdevelopmental period. This encourages the need for pain measurement that could reflectthe actual pain responses especially in blood sampling.The purpose of this review is tooverview pain responses in newborns receiving procedures invasive of blood samplingusing advance pain measurement. Literature search was conducted through threeonline database, namely EBSCO (CINAHL and MEDLINE), Scopus, and Wiley, withinrelated keyword applied are invasive procedure, neonate, newborn, pain assessment andpain intensity. Twelve articles were identified for critical review. This literature studyprovides an overview of responses to blood collection procedures through measurementsof behavioral and skin conductance activities in neonates. Pain response with behavioralmeasurement shows the range of mild-moderate pain in the procedure of blood samplingthrough peripheral veins, the range of moderate-severe pain in heel pricking, and therange of severe pain in arterial blood sampling. Skin conductance measurement reflectsympathetic activity to pain stimulus through sweat gland activity in the superficiallayer of the skin, and is expected to be an objective method of pain measurement forneonates in clinical practice.

Background

In addition to the obvious physical medical impact of COVID-19, the disease poses evident threats to people’s mental health, psychological safety, and well-being. Provision of support for these challenges is complicated by the high number of people requiring support and the need to maintain physical distancing. Text4Hope, a daily supportive SMS text messaging program, was launched in Canada to mitigate the negative mental health impacts of the pandemic among Canadians.

Objective

This paper describes the changes in the stress, anxiety, and depression levels of subscribers to the Text4Hope program after 6 weeks of exposure to daily supportive SMS text messages.

Methods

We used self-administered, empirically supported web-based questionnaires to assess the demographic and clinical characteristics of Text4Hope subscribers. Perceived stress, anxiety, and depression were measured with the 10-Item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder–7 (GAD-7) scale, and the Patient Health Questionnaire–9 (PHQ-9) scale at baseline and sixth week time points. Moderate or high perceived stress, likely generalized anxiety disorder, and likely major depressive disorder were assessed using cutoff scores of ≥14 for the PSS-10, ≥10 for the GAD-7, and ≥10 for the PHQ-9, respectively. At 6 weeks into the program, 766 participants had completed the questionnaires at both time points.

Results

At the 6-week time point, there were statistically significant reductions in mean scores on the PSS-10 and GAD-7 scales but not on the PHQ-9 scale. Effect sizes were small overall. There were statistically significant reductions in the prevalence rates of moderate or high stress and likely generalized anxiety disorder but not likely major depressive disorder for the group that completed both the baseline and 6-week assessments. The largest reductions in mean scores and prevalence rates were for anxiety (18.7% and 13.5%, respectively).

Conclusions

Text4Hope is a convenient, cost-effective, and accessible means of implementing a population-level psychological intervention. This service demonstrated significant reductions in anxiety and stress levels during the COVID-19 pandemic and could be used as a population-level mental health intervention during natural disasters and other emergencies.

En la zona geotérmica de San Agustín del Maíz (Michoacán) se han identificado depósitos de sínter de sílice coexistiendo con manifestaciones hidrotermales activas. Estos depósitos, considerando el modo de deposición, se separan en bandeados de fractura y estratificados. Los primeros están asociados a los conductos a través de los cuales los fluidos ascienden a la superficie, mientras que los segundos se forman a partir de los fluidos que logran llegar a la superficie. Los depósitos estratificados presentan diferentes litofacies que se pueden agrupar en un rango con dos miembros finales: por un lado, un depósito hidrotermal puro, denso, de aspecto vítreo y compacto. Por el otro lado, un depósito hidrotermal limo-arenoso, deleznable, con impresiones de plantas y algunos líticos. El depósito vítreo se considera geiserita, formado por salmueras con temperaturas superiores a los 70 °C, mientras que el depósito limo-arenoso se considera que se ha formado por salmueras con temperaturas inferiores a los 70 °C y en algunos casos, distantes de la surgente termal. Los depósitos vítreos están constituidos mineralógicamente solo por ópalo (C y CT), mientras que los depósitos limo-arenosos están formados por ópalo en conjunto con otras fases mineralógicas asociadas a sedimentos. Se ha establecido que las litofacies y la mineralogía de los depósitos de sínter de sílice pueden dar información de las temperaturas y las tasas de deposición de las surgentes hidrotermales que les dieron origen. Esta información es de utilidad para la identificación de áreas donde existió mayor emergencia de fluidos hidrotermales a la superficie y con mayor temperatura (e.g. facies de geiserita), especialmente en zonas geotérmicas con un contexto geológico similar al de San Agustín del Maíz (e.g. sector central del Cinturón Volcánico Trans-Mexicano). Dichas áreas con importante circulación de fluidos pueden coincidir localmente con intersección de fallas, terminación de fallas y rampas de relevo.

La historia de la Sociología: si no te la contaron violeta, no te la contaron completa
Authors: Aldana Santana Selene
Published: November 2020

Durante generaciones a sociólogos y sociólogas se nos ha transmitido un canon disciplinar altamente masculinizado debido que todas las figuras fundadoras reconocidas son varones, al punto de hablar de “los padres fundadores”, que han escrito sobre temas, considerados “masculinos” por las más críticas o “universales” por los más ingenuos, que no pasan por las problemáticas específicas de la experiencia de vida de las mujeres. Sin embargo, la reciente crecida de los movimientos feministas ha dado condiciones para emprender estudios que confirman la presencia de mujeres en los círculos intelectuales fundacionales de la Sociología, pero que fueron borradas en el curso de la escritura de la historia de la disciplina en el que se estableció como hegemónica una selección específica de los clásicos. Por lo que cada vez hay más elementos para plantear la posibilidad de una reconstrucción feminista de los clásicos de la Sociología y de la historia de la disciplina. En este artículo se exploran las condiciones de posibilidad, rutas y efectos de dicho planteamiento.

Introdução: A sífilis é uma doença infecciosa de evolução lenta causada por uma bactéria Gramnegativa do grupo das espiroquetas, exclusiva do ser humano, chamada Treponema pallidum. No combate da sífilis, uma importante ferramenta é a análise laboratorial através de produtos para diagnóstico in vitro que permite o diagnóstico da doença. A eficácia destes produtos é avaliada frente a painéis sorológicos compostos por amostras verdadeiro positivas e negativas. Objetivo: Reavaliar a reatividade das 153 amostras que constituem o painel sorológico positivo para sífilis do Laboratório de Sangue e Hemoderivados (LSH) do Instituto Nacional de Controle de Qualidade em Saúde (INCQS). Método: Revalidação do painel sorológico para sífilis através de análise retrospectiva de dados laboratoriais do LSH do período de 2011 a 2015 atendendo aos critérios de positividade em cinco metodologias diferentes e volume de amostra ≥ 10 mL. Resultados: Das 172 amostras iniciais, 153 apresentaram volume de estoque ≥ 10 mL. No período proposto foram identificados 46 produtos para diagnóstico da sífilis com laudo satisfatório compreendendo cinco metodologias diferentes. Os resultados analíticos das 153 amostras pertencentes ao painel positivo foram analisados nos protocolos de registro de resultados destes produtos. Após a reavaliação da reatividade das 153 amostras do painel positivo, 130 foram revalidadas como positivas enquanto 23 foram consideradas como indeterminadas. Conclusões: O painel positivo para sífilis revalidado permanecerá sendo instrumento essencial na análise prévia para fins de regularização dos kits para diagnóstico da doença.
