Mayan diet model based on the Mediterranean diet as a nutritional alternative for southeastern Mexico
Authors: Silva Cambranis Hilda Del Carmen , Valencia Gutierrez Marvel Del Carmen , Meneses López Rafael Enrique , García Ramírez Maria Del Jesus , López Méndez Magnolia Del Rosario
Published: April 2023

Nutritional education in Mexico is a necessary strategy to address the serious public health problem that is currently being experienced, since the population is suffering from chronic degenerative diseases, such as obesity, dyslipidemias, arterial hypertension and pathologies that unfortunately are already present in children thanks to a poor and unbalanced diet.

Seeking alternatives for food orientation and for reducing these health problems, the Mediterranean diet was taken as an inspiring model. This healthy pattern, which has been recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity, is characterized by several structural elements, such as the promotion of regional and seasonal food, the respect of the nature, the cooking food at home, the consumption of a moderate amount of food, the promotion of family ties and communication, the practice of daily physical exercise and adequate rest.

The proposal for a Mediterranean-based Mayan diet model also aims to integrate the entity’s native resources, promote food security in the southeast region of Mexico nd preserve the ancient recipes that have been inherited from our Mayan ancestors.
A Dilemma for Education — The Problem of Labels in an Age of Political Identities
Authors: Sage Rosemary
Published: April 2023

A case study presents a student labelled as _Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder_ (ADHD), in a world of political identity movements encouraging this personal tag. Instead of leading to social justice, identity activists produce conflicts and dangerous practices, like cancelling (_dismissing_) people if their views differ to the ones championed. If things are to change we have to pursue “_Insurgent Universality_” (Tomba, 2021),_ defending repressed, exploited and ignored persons, _as no one should be abused for their characteristics or dismissed for their views. This demands taking a hard look at society, which in Britain has adopted an “anything goes” approach to accommodate the many different citizen groups. We must pursue core values of kindness and forgiveness for liberty and happiness to be reality. This has to respect differences and understand the needs and desires of people. In Britain, such tolerance comes from a Christian tradition, but is collapsing as the many faiths now existing wish to differ, so will this survive? Equality must be a common objective, with humility from elites, who often dominate rather than listen and lead, chasing their own interests at the expense of the majority. The case study shows how a label limits perception, to the detriment of learning opportunities and increase of mental anguish. How negative influences can be minimised is explored at both micro and macro levels.

The prevalence of microplastics (MPs) in the environment has had a significant impact on ecosystems and posed a major threat to human health. This study investigated the distribution and characteristics of MPs in the Nhue - Day River basin in Vietnam, which is a critical source of biodiversity and used to support the economic growth of about 12 million people. The effect of seasonal variation and anthropogenic activities on the MP abundance was assessed. The findings revealed that the MPs abundance was significant in this study area. The average abundance of MPs in the dry season (754 items/m3) was insignificantly higher than that in the rainy season (706 items/m3) with n=9. The range in the abundance of MPs in the dry and rainy seasons was 49-2,827 and 400-1,133 items/m3, respectively. Microplastics in fiber forms were dominant in both seasons. The majority of the collected MPs were in the 0.5-2.0 mm size range, varying from 71% to 100% of the total MPs depend on sampling point. The total percentage of MPs size 0.3-0.5 mm in the dry season was 56.97% compared to 119.85% in the rainy season, indicating that the MPs were broken into smaller pieces due to UV exposure and weather conditions. Colored items occupied the majority of the MPs. This study can be used to gain a better knowledge of MP pollution in Vietnam’s river water.
Theoretical economics of Richard Cantillon
Authors: Ananyin O. I.
Published: April 2023

In his “History of economic analysis” Joseph A. Schumpeter emphasized the role of the sequence “Petty—Cantillon—Quesnay”. Recent research has showed that it was Cantillon, whose contribution within this sequence was crucial. The article is devoted to the scientific legacy of the author of the “Essay on the nature of trade in general” — the first systemic treatise on economic theory in history; as well as to the impact it had on the subsequent development of economic thought. The topics under discussion include issues of method, ontological assumptions and ideological setting, theories of social reproduction, value and circulation of money, entrepreneurship, population and spatial development. It is argued that Cantillon’s blueprint of theoretical economics provided a pattern for the formation of classical political economy and partly retained this role in the post-classic period. Cantillon’s theoretical legacy can serve as a source of relevant lessons for theoretical economists and organizers of economic research until today.
Reproductive intentions of Russians with children at the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Vakulenko E. S. , Mitrofanova E. S. , Gorskiy D. I.
Published: April 2023

The paper studies the reproductive intentions of the Russians who already have at least one child before and during the quarantine restrictions (lockdowns) due to COVID-19. Binary choice logistic models and a set of machine learning models were evaluated on the data from the Person, Family, Society survey conducted in March—May 2020. Modeling of the respondents’ intentions to have more children in the short term (3 years) and the long term (more than 3 years) showed that external shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the strict quarantine regulations associated with it had an impact on fertility intentions, but only in the short term. These external shocks were less significant than such factors as age of the respondent; the number of children already born; availability of housing needed to expand the family; the maternity capital program availability, which includes the opportunity to improve housing conditions after the birth of children. As Russians with children showed the increase of the probability of having additional children after April 2020, we conclude that the effect of COVID-19 on reproductive intentions was acyclical. The estimation of models with heterogeneous effects showed that the pandemic had a stronger impact on respondents with above-average household incomes.

Los corticoides prenatales disminuyen la mortalidad y el distrés respiratorio (SDR) en recién nacidos prematuros (RNPT). Estos beneficios decrecen tras la semana de su administración, recomendándose un rescate si existe una nueva amenaza de parto prematuro. La repetición de corticoides prenatales puede tener efectos deletéreos y sus beneficios son controvertidos en el retraso del crecimiento intra- uterino (RCIU). Objetivo: comprobar los efectos del rescate con betametasona prenatal en la morbimortalidad neonatal, el SDR y el neurodesarrollo a los 2 años en prematuros con RCIU. Pacientes y Método: Estudio retrospectivo de RNPT ≤ 34 semanas y ≤ 1.500 g divididos en cohortes según la exposición a betametasona prenatal: Ciclo-único (2 dosis) vs Rescate (3 dosis). Se realizan subgrupos para ≥ 30 semanas. Se realizó un seguimiento de ambas cohortes hasta los 24 meses de edad corregida. Se aplicó el cuestionario Ages & Stages Questionnaire (ASQ)® para evaluar el neurodesarrollo. Resultados: Se incluyen 62 RNPT. El grupo Rescate vs. Ciclo-único no muestra diferencias en morbimortalidad y sí menor intubación (p = 0,02), sin diferencias en el soporte respiratorio a los 7 días de vida. RNPT ≥ 30 semanas con Rescate presentan mayor morbimortalidad (p = 0,03) y displasia broncopulmonar (DBP) (p = 0,02), sin diferencias en el SDR. El grupo rescate muestra peores puntuaciones medias en la escala ASQ-3, sin diferencias significativas en parálisis cerebral o déficits sensoriales. Conclusiones: El rescate no disminuye la morbimortalidad y sí reduce la intubación al nacimiento. Sin embargo, en ≥ 30 semanas no se observa este beneficio y la población expuesta a rescate presenta más DBP y menores puntuaciones en la escala ASQ-3 a los 2 años. Futuros estudios deben ir encaminados a la individualización de la terapia con corticoides prenatales.

El nistagmo ictal es un fenómeno muy infrecuente secundario a una descarga epiléptica generalmente en el área temporo-occipital. Para su caracterización debemos apoyarnos en la historia clínica, exploración e idealmente observación de los episodios. Objetivo: Describir un caso de nistagmo ictal para remarcar las características que deben orientar a su sospecha diagnóstica y evitar retraso de tratamiento. Caso Clínico: Escolar de género masculino, 8 años de edad, sin antecedentes de relevancia, consultó por historia de 1 año de evolución de episodios de movimientos oculares conjugados horizontales con sacudidas rápidas y leve miosis asociada, de 5-10 segundos de duración, que sucedían 5-6 veces al día, con dudosa desconexión del medio o compromiso de conciencia en algunos de los episodios, sin otros signos ni síntomas acompañantes. Los exámenes generales fueron normales. Fue evaluado por oftalmología y otorrinolaringología que descartaron patología en esas esferas. El examen neurológico entre los episodios era normal. El vídeo-electroencefalograma demostró correlato electro-clínico, con actividad epileptiforme en la región temporal y occipital izquierda que se generalizaba posteriormente durante los episodios. La resonancia magnética cerebral resultó normal. Tras inicio de tratamiento con carbamazepina presentó buena evolución, sin recurrencia de los episodios a 2 años de seguimiento. Conclusiones: Frente a un caso de nistagmo adquirido se debe incluir en el diagnóstico diferencial la etiología epiléptica, especialmente si la frecuencia de los episodios es alta, son de duración breve y se asocian a compromiso de conciencia. El diagnóstico se sustenta en un vídeo-electroencefalograma con correlato electro-clínico y se espera buena respuesta al tratamiento con fármacos antiepilépticos.
Android Application for Determining Growth and Development of Children Aged 0-5 Years using The Denver II Test
Authors: Purnamasari Feby , Selvia Selvia
Published: April 2023

Health services in the form of information technology are needed to advance health services. Applications for child development are very necessary during the pandemic because of the limitations of direct visits by health workers to residents' homes, so an android application is needed as a screening method to determine child growth and development so that it can detect developmental delays in children from an early age. This study uses the Denver II test to design an android application to determine the growth and development of children aged 0-5 years. The design of the application system starts with observations and interviews, after which the process of designing and making an offline-based android application programming system is carried out. This application has been tested pretest and posttest on 30 mothers who have children aged 0-5 years. The Wilcoxon test carried out these results with a 0.000 <0.005, so there is a difference between the pretest and posttest knowledge results. The conclusion is that parents can use this application to monitor the growth and development of children aged 0-5 years

The aim of this study was to evaluate the biofilm production, the susceptibility profile and the detection of resistance genes present in Salmonella spp isolates from fresh chicken carcasses sold in a Brazilian metropolis. From a total of 61 samples of fresh poultry carcasses, 21 were positive for the presence of Salmonella spp. Regarding the antimicrobial susceptibility test, (13/21) isolates tested were resistant to at least one antibiotic, corresponding to 61.9%, and 38% (08/21) were Resistant to Multiple Drugs. At least two resistance genes were identified in all isolates, especially the genes related to β-lactamases and Quinolones resistance. It was also observed that some Salmonella spp isolates showed identical genetic patterns. And all 21 isolates were able to form biofilm. The identification of Salmonella spp. biofilm forming and carrying different β-lactamase genes and determinants of resistance to quinolones demonstrates the capacity of these bacteria to accumulate various mechanisms of virulence and resistance to antimicrobials. Therefore, the spread of different clonal groups of Salmonella spp. MDR in poultry meat carcasses expressed in this attest to the need for effective controls to contain this microorganism, which besides being a risk to public health, is also responsible for considerable economic losses.
The Indonesian government's political economy in the policy of the highest retail price for cooking oil from a sharia perspective
Authors: Muhsin Muhammad , Rizka Rizka , Muthoifin Muthoifin
Published: April 2023

Purpose: The phenomenon of a scarcity of cooking oil will occur in Indonesia from the end of 2021 to early 2022, this scarcity will cause prices to rise in markets, causing people to find it difficult to get cooking oil. The Indonesian government, in response to this phenomenon, finally made a policy related to the highest retail price of cooking oil so that the price of cooking oil becomes more stable and easy to reach the public. However, this policy was not welcomed by the public. Therefore this study will discuss the political economy of the Indonesian government in addressing the scarcity of cooking oil from an Islamic perspective.
Methodology: This research is descriptive qualitative research, using library research methods by collecting data from literature and books related to the Indonesian government's policy in addressing the scarcity of cooking oil.
Results: This study concludes that the scarcity of cooking oil is due to hoarding and an agreement between the four large cooking oil companies to increase their selling price. Government policy in responding to this phenomenon is by Islamic provisions which aim to realize a fair market mechanism.
However, there are still many people who think that the purpose of the government policy is bad due to the lack of transparency to the public regarding the policies made by the government
From mandate to movement: making Toronto fully accessible
Authors: Callaghan Alicia Noel
Published: April 2023

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) sets out a legal mandate to achieve accessibility for Ontarians by the year 2025. As the AODA is rolled out across Ontario, large urban centres like Toronto may experience challenges in implementing its standards, particularly as monitoring of the legislation is sporadic and there is no concrete definition for ‘full accessibility’. Consequently, urban planners, among other professionals, struggle to plan and design environments that are inclusive to users of all abilities. A content analysis of academic literature, policy, and best practices, as well as qualitative survey data among eight

planning and planning related professionals has helped to address the following research questions: Is Toronto on track to becoming a fully accessible city by the year 2025, as set out in the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (2005)? And are planners adequately trained to design accessible built environments, beyond minimum provincial and municipal standards?

The future of the GM lands in Oshawa, Ontario
Authors: Bradley Zack
Published: April 2023

The 2019 closure of a General Motors Assembly in Oshawa, Ontario has left a large site available for redevelopment in the GTHA. While most discussions on this topic have focused on the job loss and economic impact on Oshawa, there have been no formal discussions about the development potential of this land. This paper seeks to challenge local stakeholders to reimagine the future of the GM Lands, as well as Oshawa as a whole, by providing case studies of post-industrial developments. This paper combines these case studies with a deep examination of the current economic, political, and planning situation in Oshawa and a dive into the history of brownfields for both the City of Oshawa and for General Motors.

Layout optimization of a multi-centre distribution mode
Authors: Veres Péter , Bányai Tamás
Published: April 2023

Supply chain planning is becoming increasingly important today, as it is essential for efficient operations to design supply chains that are flexible, sustainable, highly available and able to respond quickly and efficiently to dynamically changing customer needs, while operating cost-effectively. When designing supply chains, it is important to consider not only the investment cost but also the operational cost. This requires the most accurate forecasting of future supply chain needs. In this paper, the authors present a new method for the optimal design of a multicentre distribution network, which uses evolutionary optimisation and Monte Carlo simulation to determine the optimal distribution network structure in an arbitrary geographical area. The design takes into account investment and operational costs, with particular emphasis on the question of how to estimate the average transportation distances in a distribution network with an unknown structure.
Sharing economy: car sharing systems
Authors: Séra Dalma , Bányai Ágota
Published: April 2023

The basis for the development of the sharing economy is that certain of our objects are unused most of the time, they just take up space, and in many cases their ownership involves unnecessarily high costs. This encouraged people to save and look for cheaper solutions, which could also result in an alternative source of income. As a result of this new approach, we become more environmentally conscious customers and the realization of sustainable consumption becomes possible. The sharing economy has appeared in several industries and achieved significant results in the last few years, but the mobility industry is the area that can boast the most significant results.
Analysis of fuel costs incurred during transportation
Authors: Koropcsák Vanessza Elizabet , Juhász János
Published: April 2023

The unexpected war situation in Europe caused extraordinary supply disruptions on the market of domestic and international raw materials. As a result, the companies found themselves in several unfavorable situations, which endangered their daily operations. The aim of the research work is how the fuel costs of companies performing transport tasks can be reduced, and to what extent they represent a financial burden - typically in the provision of daily activities. When purchasing a significant amount of fuel, the price difference provides an opportunity for development, which can be used to achieve significant annual cost savings. It can be beneficial for a business, as the cost saved can be booked or shown as profit. In this way, the development of processes within the company can come to the fore, as it can strengthen the weak points of the company.

Failure: A Heuristic Inquiry of the Experience of Failure Through a Nature Based Art Therapy Process
Authors:   , Manthe Lisa
Published: April 2023

The aim of this arts based study was to investigate the experience of failure during the dissertation process. Through a heuristic lens, its objective was to gain an understanding of the tacit experience of failure and the influence of a nature art based process on the understanding of failure. Failure is integral to the scientific method (Wang et al. 2019), enhancing understanding and teaching us valuable skills. Intentional engagement with our response to failure allows us to address and incorporate possibilities that are often unseen (Nelson et al., 2017). The art process illuminates tacit knowledge, unearthing creative solutions and untapped possibilities (Joseph, 2006; Manthe & Carolan, 2017). The process of creating art in nature welcomes curiosity and provides containment for the expression of emotional experiences (Berger & Lahad, 2013). The study was guided by Andy Goldsworthy’s process of making collaborative art pieces with nature to incorporate the process of taking risks and utilizing failure (Malapas, 2005). An elite sampling of art therapists engaged in a nature based art process inspired by the work of Andy Goldsworthy and the open studio process (Allen, 2016). The art therapists, along with the researcher, focused on a failure they encountered during their dissertation and engaged in a nature art process and narrative reflection. The intentional immersive depth of heuristic inquiry supported the illumination of tacit knowledge and unique contributions to the understanding of failure.

Published: April 2023

The history of humankind is inextricably linked with the history of nature. Today, the traditional interdependence have escalated to the global ecological problem. If the humans fail to care about the nature, they will extinguish themselves for we depend on one another completely and totally. This is why we have to cultivate ecological literacy, culture and responsibility since our childhood. Ecological education, awareness and ecological skills must be promoted which is the mission of libraries cooperating with educational institutions. Thus, Bataysk Lermontov Library cooperates with the Ecological and Biological Center. The experience of the Library’s literature and science club «The young ecologist» operating since 1994, is also discussed.

Authors: Ortega Rivas Adrián Geovanny , Flores Vásquez Carlos Alberto , Vázquez Quiroz Pablo Tiberio
Published: April 2023

El presente trabajo analiza la problemática de la gestión de proyectos viales pues, en numerosas ocasiones la metodología, la falta de planeación y la carencia de gestión no responde al punto de vista técnico y económico del proyecto; generando retrasos en los cronogramas y sobre costos en los mismos. En particular, es necesario comprender que la calidad de vías de comunicación de un territorio son parte de un factor importante para el desarrollo del país o región, y es indispensable mejorar los procesos que permiten su construcción, debido a que; si las vías terrestres presentan un buen estado favorecen a la población que se benefician de la movilidad de personas, bienes y servicios. Para esta investigación se utilizó el método experimental, mediante una entrevista con un cuestionario estructurado con el cual se obtuvieron los resultados requeridos para la formulación de la propuesta metodología que se espera contribuirá de manera eficaz a las empresas constructoras que lo adopten. Esta fue creada basándose en estándares y metodologías internacionales, es decir; modelos de gestión que se aplican a nivel mundial, con el fin de corregir a tiempo los inconvenientes presentados y evitar más retrasos que generan inconvenientes a los usuarios y que de igual manera, produce sobrecostos. Así también se anhela que este estudio sirva como guía para proyectos futuros especialmente en proyectos viales y demás obras civiles.

Materials and methods: A retrospective data from pediatric patients with urolithiasis admitted from January 2015 to December 2021. The data was obtained from medical records and included those with diagnosis confirmed by imaging and laboratory test, as 24-hour urine exams corrected for creatinine, stone composition.
Results: We reviewed 204 children with urolithiasis. The male‐to‐female ratio was 1.34:1. Congenital anomalies of the urinary tract were found in 40 patients (19.6%).Urolithiasis was more common in adolescent girls, whereas in boys the frequency of observation is higher between 11 and 17 years old (p = 0.006). Majority of the patients were from southern regions (51%) in our country. Renal colic, urinary tract infection and macroscopic hematuria were the most common clinical manifestations. Urinary tract infection was diagnosed in 185 patients (90.6%). The most frequent metabolic disorders were hypercalciuria, hyperoxaluria. In 35% of cases there was a metabolic disorder and appropriate therapy was prescribed. In the remaining cases, surgical treatment was used.
Conclusion: In this study we presented the prevalence of urolithiasis in the pediatric population in different regions of our country.

Background: Alloimmunization is a known complication following repeated red blood cell transfusions. However, the associated factors of RBC alloimmunization are different among blood recipient groups. This study aimed to determine the associated factors of red blood cell alloimmunization among solid cancer patients in Hospital USM.
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 322 adult solid cancer patients screened for red cell alloantibodies in our centre from October 2016 until February 2019. The clinical and transfusion data were obtained from the patient’s medical record and laboratory information system (My Transfusi). The multiple logistic regression was used for analysis of potential associated factors of red blood cells alloimmunization, and p-value of less than 0.050 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The patient’s mean age was 52.0 years old, with the majority were Malays (91.0%) and females (61.2%). The most common cancers were breast (32.3%) followed by gastrointestinal (16.8%) and head and neck (14.3%). The presence of metastases (adjusted OR=13.53, p=0.017), numbers of packed red cell transfusions (adjusted OR=1.12, p= 0.015), and blood group A (adjusted OR=7.45, p=0.003) were the associated factors of alloimmunization.
Conclusions: Solid cancer patients with metastases, received a higher number of packed red cell transfusions, and blood group A were at higher risk for alloimmunization. Strategies to provide phenotype RBC should focus on this type of patient to prevent red blood cells alloimmunization in solid cancer patients.

Background: Thrombo-embolic incidence secondary to COVID-19 with increased mortality rate has become a global concern. Anticoagulants are widely used to prevent mortality. On the other hand, antiviral therapy has a potential effect against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
Aims & objectives: This study aims to assess the use pattern of anticoagulant and antiviral drugs against COVID-19.
Methods: This is an observational cross-sectional study where two hundred COVID-19-positive patients of both sexes and different age groups who received anticoagulants and antivirals were recruited. All data were compiled in a Microsoft excel spreadsheet. Results were expressed in frequency & percentage.
Results: Out of 200 patients, there were 115 males (57.5%) & 85 females (42.5%); the majority (56%) belonged to the age group between 30 to 60 years. Clinically, patients were categorized into mild (25%), moderate (32%), severe (37.5%), and critical (5.5%) cases. In this study, 88% of patients received low molecular weight heparin (enoxaparin) in a prophylactic dose and 12% of patients received in a therapeutic dose. Among the antivirals, remdesivir (84%) followed by favipiravir (16%) were the most commonly prescribed drugs.
Conclusion: Anticoagulant (enoxaparin) and antiviral (remdesivir) drugs are frequently prescribed in the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
