Authors: Costa Andrezza Grasielly , Souza Luciano Da Silva , Cova Alide Mitsue Watanabe , Correia Marcos Roberto Santos
Published: October 2021

Inúmeras pesquisas vêm sendo desenvolvidas com intuito de otimizar a produção de hortaliças utilizando resíduos obtidos a partir do processamento de outras matérias primas, destacando a utilização da água residuária da mandioca - manipueira, porquanto apresenta expressiva carga orgânica e nutrientes importantes para o desenvolvimento das plantas. Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho objetivou avaliar o crescimento e produção do coentro cv. Verdão submetido a doses de manipueira, na ausência e presença de esterco bovino. O estudo foi conduzido em casa de vegetação, no delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com os tratamentos distribuídos em esquema fatorial (2x5) com 5 repetições, totalizando 50 unidades experimentais. Os fatores estudados foram: presença (3,9 kg m-2) e ausência de esterco bovino e doses de manipueira (0, 15, 30, 45 e 60 m³ ha-1). Foram utilizados recipientes de plástico com capacidade de 3 dm³, preenchido com solo da camada de 0-0,20 m de um LATOSSOLO AMARELO Ditrocoeso típico. Os maiores rendimentos do coentro foram obtidos com a aplicação de manipueira em conjunto com esterco bovino. A aplicação de 45 m³ ha-1 de manipueira, na presença de esterco bovino, proporcionou maiores área foliar, massa fresca da parte aérea e suculência da parte aérea. Os tratamentos submetidos apenas às diferentes doses de manipueira, na ausência de esterco bovino, apresentaram resposta linear positiva para a maioria das variáveis analisadas, indicando que doses mais elevadas de manipueira poderiam vir a suprimir a demanda nutricional do coentro em substituição ao esterco bovino.
ELEMENTOS-TRAÇO E ATRIBUTOS QUÍMICOS DO SOLO EM ÁREAS DE CULTIVO DE ERVA-MATE COM APLICAÇÃO DE DEJETO DE SUÍNOS
Authors: Matos Talita Santana , Pereira Marcos Gervasio , Ferrari Anderson Claiton , Zonta Everaldo
Published: October 2021

Com o objetivo de mensurar os efeitos da aplicação de dejeto de suíno na cultura da erva-mate (Ilex paraguariensis St. Hil.), avaliou-se as alterações nos atributos do solo e nos teores de elementos-traço, suas correlações e os teores totais nas plantas. Foram coletadas amostras de solo e plantas em áreas com 45 e 35 anos de cultivo, em quatro profundidades, no município de Presidente Castello Branco - SC, no período de janeiro de 2017. Verificou-se redução nos teores de macronutrientes e aumento da acidez do solo em comparação a área de mata. Os teores pseudototais de Cr, Pb e Ni foram influenciados pela aplicação do dejeto, apresentando valores superiores nas áreas cultivadas, com exceção do Cu e Cd foram superiores na área de mata, fato este que pode ser atribuído ao material de origem dos solos. Entretanto, a aplicação de dejeto não aumentou os teores desses elementos no solo para níveis que atingissem o patamar de prevenção estabelecido pela legislação brasileira. A análise de componentes principais permitiu agrupar nos dois primeiros componentes mais de 50% da variância total para cada profundidade. A área de mata apresentou maior distância das demais áreas nas profundidades estudadas, demonstrando que o manejo alterou significativamente a qualidade do solo. Os teores totais de elementos-traço não variam com o tempo de aplicação do dejeto no solo, entretanto os teores de Cd e Pb nas plantas encontram-se acima do limite considerado tolerável pela Anvisa e União Europeia.
Walden two: A República de Skinner?
Authors: Nobuhara Marcos Muryan , Lopes Carlos Eduardo
Published: October 2021

As diferenças epistemológicas entre Skinner e Platão são amplamente conhecidas. Contudo, no âmbito político, Skinner parece aproximar-se de Platão, inclusive mencionando a República como uma inspiração para Walden two. Partindo dessa afinidade, este artigo tem o objetivo de explicitar semelhanças e diferenças políticas entre Walden two e a República. Para evitar um anacronismo com o termo ‘política’, em obras temporal e culturalmente diferentes, as discussões amparam-se na proposta sistemática de Aristóteles. De acordo com essa proposta, o campo político envolve, pelo menos: i) as formas de governo; ii) as características das populações governadas; e iii) os mecanismos utilizados para evitar a degeneração do governo. Seguindo esses pontos, é possível concluir que a proposta política de Walden two converge com a platônica, principalmente no que diz respeito à adoção de uma aristocracia. A despeito dessa afinidade, o argumento de Skinner para justificar uma aristocracia tecnocientífica enfrenta problemas que estão ausentes na República. Isso coloca em dúvida a coerência de Walden two com alguns dos pressupostos filosóficos do comportamentalismo radical.Palavras-chave: Walden two, República, Política, Utopia.
Afinidades e divergências epistemológicas, éticas e políticas entre R. Rorty e B. F. Skinner
Authors: Alves da Rocha Cesar Antonio , Dittrich Alexandre
Published: October 2021

Aproximações entre comportamentalismo radical e pragmatismo têm sido tema de estudos diversos, com focos sobre diferentes domínios filosóficos, da epistemologia à política. O presente estudo objetivou identificar afinidades e divergências epistemológicas, éticas e políticas entre essas propostas filosóficas, tendo como base a obra de dois de seus principais expoentes: R. Rorty e B. F. Skinner. O itinerário proposto envolve uma apresentação da concepção de conhecimento na perspectiva de Rorty a partir do que chama de “filosofia sem espelhos”, passando pela sua proposta de uma “ética sem princípios” e, finalmente, sua defesa da democracia e do “ironismo liberal”. Em seguida, é apresentada a perspectiva comportamentalista radical de Skinner, com sua teoria consequencialista do conhecimento, passando pela proposição de uma “heurística ética”, e, finalmente, por sua crítica à democracia liberal e defesa do controle “face a face”. À apresentação dos diferentes aspectos da obra de Skinner, seguem-se comentários que buscam relações possíveis com o neopragmatismo rortyano. Enfim, a título de considerações finais, os achados são brevemente sumarizados e comentados, concluindo-se que, apesar das afinidades relativas nos domínios epistemológico e ético, há diferenças decisivas no tocante às concepções políticas de cada autor.Palavras-chave: R. Rorty, B. F. Skinner, Pragmatismo, Neopragmatismo, Comportamentalismo radical.
Análise do Comportamento como uma Psicologia da Ciência
Authors: Guazi Taisa Scarpin , Laurenti Carolina , Córdova Lucas Ferraz
Published: October 2021

A psicologia da ciência é uma das disciplinas que integram a metaciência e visa elucidar a dimensão psicológica do fazer científico. Como um sistema teórico-metodológico na psicologia, a Análise do Comportamento ocupa uma posição periférica nos estudos psicológicos da ciência. Essa posição não parece se justificar pela ausência ou discussão incipiente da atividade científica no domínio analítico-comportamental. Considerando as contribuições da Análise do Comportamento ao exame da ciência, o objetivo deste trabalho é descrever os princípios de uma psicologia comportamentalista da ciência. Esses princípios são evidenciados cotejando-os com o objeto de estudo, os objetivos e as aplicações do campo da psicologia da ciência. A Análise do Comportamento, como disciplina psicológica metacientífica, pode contribuir com a investigação das variáveis controladoras do comportamento científico, podendo, com isso, fomentar o ensino de habilidades científicas, bem como aprimorar a produção e a avaliação da ciência. Mesmo circunscrita ao comportamento individual, uma psicologia da ciência analítico-comportamental pode dialogar com outras disciplinas metacientíficas, disponibilizando informações que podem elucidar aspectos filosóficos, históricos e sociológicos da ciência. Inversamente, interlocuções com essas áreas podem consolidar a proposta de uma psicologia comportamentalista da ciência, evidenciando os seus limites e descortinando outras possibilidades de estudo do fazer científico com base nos princípios e conceitos da Análise do Comportamento.Palavras-chave: Psicologia da ciência, comportamento do cientista, comportamentalismo radical, Análise do Comportamento, metaciência.
Neighborhood Food Environment Associated with Cardiometabolic Health among Predominately Low-income, Urban, Black Women
Authors: Corona Gabrielle , Dubowitz Tamara , Troxel Wendy M. , Ghosh-Dastidar Madhumita , Rockette-Wagner Bonny , Gary-Webb Tiffany L
Published: October 2021

Objectives: This study sought to: 1) under­stand how the perceived food environment (availability, accessibility, and affordability) is associated with cardiometabolic health outcomes in predominately low-income Black residents in urban neighborhoods with limited healthy food access; and 2) examine the association of shopping at specific store types with cardiometabolic health outcomes.Methods: We report on cross-sectional data from 459 individuals participating in the Pittsburgh, PA Hill/Homewood Research on Neighborhoods and Health (PHRESH) study. Mean participant age was 60.7 (SD=13.9); 81.7% were female. We used logistic regression to examine associations between three factors (perceived fruit and vegetable availability, quality, and price; primary food shopping store characteristics; and frequency of shopping at stores with low or high access to healthy foods) and cardiometabolic and self-rated health.Results: Adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, participants with higher perceived fruit and vegetable accessibility (AOR:.47, 95%CI: .28-.79, P=.004) and affordability (AOR:.59, 95%CI: .36-.96, P=.034) had lower odds of high blood pres­sure. Shopping often (vs rarely) at stores with low access to healthy foods was associated with higher odds of high total cholesterol (AOR:3.52, 95%CI: 1.09-11.40, P=.035). Finally, primary food shopping at a discount grocery (vs full-service supermarket) was as­sociated with lower odds of overweight/obe­sity (AOR:.51, 95%CI: .26-.99, P=.049).Conclusions: These results suggest that both perceived accessibility and affordability of healthy foods are associated with reduced cardiometabolic risk factors in this urban, low-income predominantly Black population. Additionally, discount grocery stores may be particularly valuable by providing access and affordability of healthy foods in this population. Ethn Dis. 2021;31(4):537-546; doi:10.18865/ed.31.4.537
Depression Symptoms in Patients with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
Authors: Alghafri Rahab Marhoon , Gatt Alfred , Formosa Cynthia
Published: October 2021

AIM: The study aimed to investigate the possible relationship between diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and the development of depressive symptoms in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). METHODS: A comparative nonexperimental study was conducted. Ninety-five
T2D individuals aged 65 years and more were recruited. The sample was divided into two groups: 50 participants with T2D and without DPN and 45 participants with T2D and DPN. The Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) was used to collect information about low mood and depression symptoms in
the subjects recruited. RESULTS: Participants with DPN recorded higher scores on PHQ-9 than those with T2D only. The mean PHQ-9 score for the DPN group (6.09) was significantly higher than that for the T2D only group (2.24) (p < 0.001). Participants with DPN were more likely to have
mild to moderate or moderately severe low mood and depression symptoms than T2D only participants who exhibited minimal to no low mood and depressive symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: The association between DPN and depression is confirmed by this study, with significant depressive symptoms found
in patients with neuropathy when compared to diabetes patients with no neurological complications. It is therefore important that discomfort and emotional problems caused by DPN should be taken seriously and addressed closely in the management of DPN in order to prevent depression. Also, a
change in screening practices to identify patients with diabetes and depressive symptoms is required.
Codification of International Criminal Law: A Political-Legal Analysis
Authors: Erokhin D. V.
Published: October 2021

For many decades, the issues of systematization of international criminal law, if not in the center of attention of the subjects of international lawmaking, are at least not removed from the agenda. At the same time, the negotiation process on this topic, even at the present time, is far from over; a significant number of problems of both a legal-technical and a political nature remain unresolved. An analysis of the historical experience of the codification of international criminal law, an attempt to bring it into a single report is the main task of this article, while its purpose is to determine the most significant stages of the codification of international criminal law, to establish the prerequisites for decisions of a law-making nature adopted at the international level, their logic and significance for the current state of the system of international criminal policy. The methodology of this research is made up of such methods as formal legal, logical and systemic interpretation of law, historical and comparative analysis. Both the main and the final parts of this study represent a short excursion into the formation of international criminal policy, indicate the main guidelines in the study of various areas of international criminal law.
Legislation on Administrative Procedures: The German Experience
Authors: Maile A. D.
Published: October 2021

This article provides an overview of the main provisions of German administrative procedural law. It outlines in a systematic way the particularities of administrative procedures and the possibilities for a citizen to seek administrative remedy. The essence of the basic principles of administrative procedural law as well as the particularities of temporary legal protection and the possibilities for an extrajudicial appeal against an administrative act are explained to the reader. The Author points out that administrative proceedings in Germany are, in a broad sense, any decision-making activity of a public administration body. According to the German Administrative Procedure Act, an administrative procedure in the sense of the law is an externally imposed activity of the administrative authorities that is aimed at verifying the conditions, preparing and issuing an administrative act or entering into a public-law contract. At the same time, the activities of a public administration body are not bound by a specific form, unless there are specific rules on the form of procedure. It is stated that current German administrative law distinguishes between an administrative act and a general order. The latter is also an administrative act, the range of addressees, however, is wider. An administrative act according to the law is any order, decision or other authoritative action of an administrative body aimed at regulating a single case in the field of public law and having direct legal consequences of an external nature. A general order is an administrative act, which is addressed to a certain or defined by general features, or which concerns the public-law properties of a thing or the use of it by the public. The author notes that an administrative act must be specific in content, justified and announced to the participants in the proceedings. As long as the act has not been declared, it is invalid. An administrative act is valid from the moment it is announced, unless it itself provides otherwise. It continues in force until it is revoked, cancelled, terminated by a deadline or for any other reason specified in the law. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that the lack of a law on administrative procedures in Russia is a negative indicator of the modern Russian administrative legal system.
The Intersection of Traditional and Modern Terminology as a Barrier in Understanding the Administrative Process
Authors: Zyuzin V. A.
Published: October 2021

At present, in connection with the constitutional reform carried out in the Russian Federation, the process of reconciliation of the basic categories of administrative law with the Constitution is actively underway. In parallel, in the scientific community of specialists in administrative law and process, there has long been a request for the harmonization of views and concepts for the formation of modern administrative procedural legislation. Such a serious scientific task can be successfully solved only by relying on the letter and spirit of the country's fundamental law as the only indisputable starting point for doctrinal provisions. The catalyst for many years of discussion about the boundaries and essence of the administrative process was the adoption in 2015 of the Code of Administrative Proceedings of the Russian Federation. After the enactment of this code in scientific circulation, the categories of “judicial administrative law” and “judicial administrative process” are actively used, which brings the domestic doctrine closer to the theory of developed foreign countries. However, even in the absence of a law in Russia that defines the legal foundations of an extrajudicial administrative process, one should not forget that the majority of modern representatives of science recognize the existence of an extrajudicial administrative process in the Russian Federation. We are talking about the widest range of administrative cases - about the activities of administrative-public bodies to resolve administrative matters under their jurisdiction, both of a regulatory and protective nature, controversial and indisputable. In this situation, we believe that it is required to conduct a scientific analysis of the terminology used in Russia to study the essence of the administrative process. The article makes an attempt, taking into account foreign and domestic doctrine, to study numerous definitions for suitability for the formation of a uniform understanding of the administrative process in the Russian Federation. The work, in particular, explores the understanding of public administration and administrative justice, compares the content of the terms “administrative jurisdiction” and “administrative procedures” in Russia and in foreign countries. Based on the results of the analysis, it is concluded that the least controversy is caused by the use of the term “administrative proceedings” in relation to out-of-court proceedings and “administrative proceedings” to the judicial trial hearings.

Published: October 2021

La profunda transformación de la población, así como la enorme presión que se ha desatado en las instituciones públicas y privadas por la generación de investigaciones que muestren su presencia en la llamada sociedad del conocimiento, pone a prueba la capacidad de los profesionales para seguir desarrollando la investigación en un marco ético que requiere reflexión para abordar nuevas realidades. Con el objetivo de identificar cuál ha sido la evolución de los principios éticos delineados para investigación biomédica, se desarrolló una revisión integradora de la literatura en las bases de datos Medline, SciELO y Google Scholar usando los descriptores ciencia or investigación, conjuntados por el operador and con el descriptor ética. El análisis de los trabajos seleccionados permitió identificar como resultado, cinco temáticas predominantes que muestran la vigencia del análisis de los principios éticos a la luz de una realidad cambiante. Se concluye que las presiones crecientes para desarrollar estudios de investigación en el ámbito académico y de salud requieren fortalecer los principios éticos para evitar que el dominio del conocimiento se acompañe de un cúmulo importante de desigualdades, exclusiones y luchas sociales que lleve a crear un modelo basado exclusivamente en las exigencias de la economía del conocimiento.

Authors: Bolaños Gutiérrez María Regla , Maza Jiménez Maruixi Lizbeth , Suárez Lugo Nery
Published: October 2021

Objetivo describir la aplicación de la estrategia de mercadeo social del condón para la prevención del VHI/SIDA en el municipio Centro Habana en 2018. Método: se realizó una investigación descriptiva transversal. El universo fue la población de 15 años en delante del municipio; para la muestra se escogieron los dos policlínicos con mayor prevalencia de VHI/SIDA: Policlínico “Van Troy” y Policlínico “Reina”. Por muestreo probabilístico, se seleccionaron de los consultorios 255 personas a encuestar, de las cuales 123 fueron hombres y 132 mujeres. Se emplearon como técnicas para la obtención de información grupos focales y entrevistas, aplicadas a la población seleccionada y a informantes clave (vendedores de farmacias). Resultados: el 29.4 % de los entrevistados siempre usan condón con pareja estable, el 37.3 % con parejas ocasionales y el 31.4 % con todas las parejas. El 85.9 % considera que con su uso se pueden tener relaciones sexuales placenteras y el 76.5% que usar condón no produce pérdida de sensibilidad. El principal problema que existe en la aplicación de la estrategia es la falta de disponibilidad de los condones, la poca variedad de los mismos y la insuficiencia de materiales para su promoción. Aseguraron que las personas poseen conocimientos suficientes sobre la transmisión y prevención del VHI/SIDA. Conclusiones: la estrategia muestra discreto avance en las acciones de educación y promoción, pero la limitada disponibilidad de condones no permitió su correcta aplicación, siendo una barrera para la accesibilidad al producto y por consiguiente al uso del condón en la población del municipio.

Estado cognitivo y estrategias de compensación de memoria en personas adultas mayores
Authors: Domínguez Chávez Claudia Jennifer
Published: October 2021

Objetivo: Explorar la relación entre el estado cognitivo y las estrategias de compensación de memoria en personas adultas mayores que asisten a un centro de actividades diarias.
Materiales y métodos: Se empleó un diseño descriptivo, correlacional e inferencia en 110 adultos mayores asistentes a un centro público de actividades recreativas. Se aplicó una cédula de datos personales, la Evaluación Cognitiva de Montreal y el Cuestionario de Estrategias de Compensación de Memoria. La investigación se realizó bajo la reglamentación vigente en México para la investigación en materia de salud.
Resultados: El 54.5% de los participantes presentaron un estado cognitivo adecuado, 29.1% obtuvieron puntajes indicativos de probable demencia y 16.4% de deterioro cognitivo leve. La estrategia de compensación más empleada fue la del tiempo, seguido de las estrategias externa, esfuerzo, interna y confianza. El estado cognitivo se relacionó con las estrategias de confianza (p= .002) y esfuerzo                             (p= .013). El grupo con deterioro cognitivo leve uso mayormente la estrategia tiempo (p= .026) en comparación con los otros dos grupos. En cambio, el grupo de probable demencia, empleo mayormente la estrategia confianza (p= .013).
Conclusiones: Ante el declive cognitivo mayor será la necesidad de apoyarse en otra persona, así como el esfuerzo que realicen para recordar información. Además, las personas adultas mayores con deterioro cognitivo leve emplean más tiempo para lograr recordar, mientras que aquellas con probable demencia compensan el declive apoyándose en otra persona para recordar. Este conocimiento podría apoyar en un futuro el desarrollo de intervenciones centradas en compensar el daño cognitivo y con ello favorecer a retrasar el declive cognitivo.
Evocações e disputas sobre o “clima da abertura” durante o período de transição no Brasil (1974-1985)
Authors: Gajanigo Paulo
Published: October 2021

“O período de abertura” não foi um rótulo posterior para os anos entre 1974 e 1985, foi, na verdade, uma autoimagem social do período. A percepção de que se vivia um período de abertura circulou amplamente, sendo este rótulo um elemento ativo no processo. Este artigo busca ajudar na compreensão desse processo, focando-se nas disputas envoltas do termo “clima de abertura”. Analisamos as profusas evocações do “clima de abertura”, delineando como essas evocações foram parte das disputas do processo de abertura entre governo e oposição, mas também na sociedade civil. Para isso, articulamos a compreensão desse processo com uma pesquisa preliminar das citações do “clima de abertura” em três importantes jornais brasileiros.

Published: October 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar narrativas que remetem ao povoamento e ocupação dos Sertões Nordestinos, utilizando evidências empíricas para problematizar um quadro teórico-metodológico tornado clássico na teoria social brasileira. Assumindo uma posição crítica em relação às visões que tomaram o “mito sesmarial pecuarista” como fundamento explicativo para as desigualdades sociais e a concentração de terras no Nordeste, construímos novas hipóteses e evidências amparadas na pesquisa empírica e documental, apoiadas em fontes como cartas de sesmarias, inventários post mortem dos proprietários de terras e história oral, tendo como recorte empírico a microrregião da Serra do Teixeira, no estado da Paraíba, a partir da qual se constata a presença de outros grupos, que, já no século XVIII, imprimiram formas diversas de ocupação da terra e de povoamento.

Genicular Artery Embolization for the Treatment of Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis
Authors: Padia Siddharth A. , Genshaft Scott , Blumstein Gideon , Plotnik Adam , Kim Grace Hyun J. , Gilbert Stephanie J. , Lauko Kara , Stavrakis Alexandra I.
Published: October 2021

Background:

Genicular artery embolization (GAE) is a novel therapy to treat patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) by reducing synovial arterial hypervascularity. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of GAE for the treatment of symptomatic knee OA.

Methods:

A prospective, single-center, open-label U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved investigational device exemption study was conducted. Patients enrolled in the study were 40 to 80 years old, with moderate or severe knee OA (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 2, 3, or 4), who previously had failure of conservative therapy. Baseline pain (visual analog scale [VAS]) and symptom scores (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index [WOMAC]) were assessed. After femoral arterial access was achieved, GAE of 1, 2, or 3 genicular arteries supplying the location of the subject’s pain, as determined by digital subtraction angiography and cone-beam computed tomography, was performed using 100-μm particles. Adverse events and symptoms scores were assessed at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after GAE.

Results:

Over a 10-month period, 40 subjects were enrolled. The median age was 69 years (range, 49 to 80 years). The median body mass index was 29 kg/m2 (range, 19 to 44 kg/m2). Knee OA severity was grade 2 in 18% of the patients, grade 3 in 43%, and grade 4 in 40%. Technical success was achieved in 100% of the subjects. Transient skin discoloration and transient mild knee pain after the procedure were common and expected. Treatment-related adverse events included a groin hematoma requiring overnight observation in 1 subject, self-resolving focal skin ulceration in 7 subjects, and an asymptomatic small bone infarct on magnetic resonance imaging at 3 months in 2 subjects. The WOMAC total and VAS pain scores decreased by 61% and 67% at 12 months from a median baseline of 52 (of 96) and 8 (of 10), respectively. Twenty-seven patients (68%) had a reduction of ≥50% in both WOMAC total and VAS pain scores.

Conclusions:

This prospective trial demonstrates that GAE is effective and durable in reducing pain symptoms from moderate or severe knee OA that is refractory to other conservative therapy, with an acceptable safety profile.

Level of Evidence:

Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the clinical applicability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the early diagnosis of common peroneal neuropathy (CPNe).Methods: Over three years, the authors have treated 58 patients with CPNe. All patients had clinical or neurophysiological confirmation of CPNe. Among them, 35 (60%) patients underwent axial knee MRI with a 1.5-Tesla scanner. These 35 patients were selected for study and were classified into three groups according to the time of examination after the occurrence of dropped foot―acute, subacute, and chronic onset groups. According to muscle appearances (normal, edematous change, and atrophy), we diagnosed them with CPNe, except for those with normal morphology. We evaluated the applicability of MRI in the diagnosis of CPNe compared to that of electromyography (EMG).Results: The 18, 11, and six cases were included in the acute, subacute, and chronic onset groups, respectively. In the acute onset group, three cases had normal muscle appearance, while 15 cases had edematous changes in the affected muscles. In the subacute onset group, eight cases had edematous changes, while three cases showed muscle atrophy. In the chronic onset group, six cases had muscle atrophy. CPNe could be diagnosed using MRI in about 91% (32/35) of all the cases. Excluding the chronologically chronic stage, diagnosis rate was approximately 89%(26/29) of all the cases. However, only in 27 cases (77%) denervation potentials were presented on EMG.Conclusion: According to our results, MRI is a helpful diagnostic modality, especially in the early stage of CPNe, and may lead to proper management.

Objective: Ruptured anterior cerebral artery (ACA) trunk aneurysms and middle cerebral artery (MCA) trunk aneurysms are rare, and little is known about them. This study was conducted to determine the difference between these and other types of aneurysms.Methods: We performed a retrospective review of patients diagnosed with subarachnoid hemorrhage over an 8-year period at a single institution. We analyzed the characteristics, clinical factors, and radiological components of aneurysms at the trunk portion of A-1 and M-1. Descriptive analysis and univariate analysis for factors were performed to determine the differences of ACA A-1 portion trunk and MCA M-1 portion trunk aneurysms from other ACA and MCA aneurysms, respectively.Results: Univariate logistic regression modeling showed that trunk aneurysms in MCA M-1 had a smaller dome size (p=0.026) and dome/neck ratio (p=0.048) than other MCA aneurysms. Likewise, through univariate logistic regression modeling, the ACA group showed differences in dome size including age (p=0.001) as well as dome size (p=0.038) and dome neck ratio (p=0.041) in the A1 region.Conclusion: MCA M-1 and ACA A-1 trunk aneurysms are likely to have several different characteristics such as small in size and a lower dome/neck ratio. Also, due to their close locations to the perforator arteries, there is a high possibility of perforator artery injury when treating these aneurysms. Thus, careful attention is required when setting the treatment methods, and further studies about these aneurysms are needed.
On the Genesis of the Great Anthropological Transition

Published: October 2021

Today, humanity has entered an endless series of crisis states of practically all vi­tal forms of activity, which the global elites are already calling the “new nor­malcy”, and, in our opinion, this is only the initial stage of the Great Anthropolo­gical Transition. We can observe its manifestations today in anthropological, historical, socio-cultural, economic, medico-biological crisis phenomena, which demonstrating various options for the transition between two states of norm-homeostasis (in exact natural science, the term “phase transition” is often used). According to I. Prigogine and G. Haken, the transition or transit of the processes of becoming from one homeostasis to another always contain the following three consecutive phases against the background of an infinitely slow passage of crit­ical characteristics-calls or basic control parameters. A – the phase of death-dis­sociation of the outgoing order, returning its degrees of freedom to a subordinate level; B – the phase of the developed chaos of uncertainty and complexity at the subordinate level, in which the possible structures of an alternative future order fluctuate (are born and die for a short time); C – the phase of the birth of a new order through the capture by the fastest fluctuation of access to the resource of the system and fixing the system. The article substantiates the universality of such a structure for the development of a crisis and the possibility of managing it at each stage on the example of understanding social processes in a pandemic

Published: October 2021

Three different luminescent silver nanoparticles(AgNPs) were synthesized by simple reduction method with the different mole ratios of L-ascorbic/citrate solution and stabilized with CTAB. The prepared three AgNPs were characterized by UV, fluorescence, FTIR, dynamic light scattering measurements and Scanning Electron Microscopy. The plasmon bands of AgNPs- reddish-brown (RB), green (G) and reddish-green (RG) were centered at 565, 587 and 592 nm, respectively. The highly luminescence emission was observed for AgNPs(G). The size diameters of the prepared AgNPs-G, RG and (RB) were measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS) method at 24.3 nm, 66.28 nm and 103.46 nm, respectively. The electrochemical properties of AgNPs-RG was recorded the oxidative part of AgNPs into Ag+ at +0.23 V and the reduction part of Ag+ into Ag0 was recorded at -0.49 V vs. Ag/AgCl). Cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was stabilized AgNPs(RG) which recorded in infrared and scanning electron microscope measurements. The concentration of thiourea, sodium sulphide was detected by the electrochemical sensitivity of AgNPs(RG)-CTAB. A calibration curve between electrochemical sensitivity of AgNPs-CTAB vs concentration of sulphur molecule. The limit of detection (LOD) was founded 2.10 and 1.90 µmole L-1 of sodium sulphide and thiourea, respectively (R2=0.94, n=3). The computational calculations are used to illustrated the chemical affinity of sulphur atom in sodium sulphide or thiourea towards AgNPs(RG).

Background:-Low Birth Weight (LBW) is one of the leading public health problems in developing countries including Ethiopia. Worldwide, more than 20 million infants born low birth weight every year. Of which about 13% to 15% occur in Sub-Saharan Africa. Thus, knowing clear picture of the risk factors of LBW in the study area is essential. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify determinants of LBW in all public health facilities in dire dawa city administration eastern Ethiopia.Methods: Unmatched case-control study was employed from 1 June to 1 august the data were collected using structured and pretested interviewer administered questionnaire in all public health facilities in study areas. Consecutive sampling technique was used to select cases and controls respectively. Data were entered in to Epi-data software in version 3:1 and exported to SPSS version 23. Variables having with P-value <0.25 in the binary logistic regression were entered in to multivariate logistic regression model. Statistical significance was considered at P.value <0.05. Results: -A total of 292 mothers with their respective newborns (73 cases and 219 controls) were included the study, mothers not having nutritional counseling (AOR= 3.13, 1.59--6.16),not consuming additional meal (AOR=2.37, 1.26--4.44),not having iron supplementation (AOR=2.21, 1.14--4.29),mothers being anemic (AOR=3.51, 1.64--7.53),and undernourished mothers (AOR=4.83, 2.49--9.38) were significantly associated with the low birth weight in this study.Conclusion: Poor nutrition related activities interims of nutritional counseling, iron supplementation, maternal feeding especially during pregnancy and others were the main problems identified in this study. Therefore, Government and non-governmental NGOs would work together to reduce LBW by establishing appropriate intervention, awareness creation and behaviors change communication (BCC) and development of effective strategy and policy to improve maternal nutritional status and prevent maternal anemia are curtail. In addition, a large scale studies with strong study design like cohort and experimental needs to be conducted.

Objective: Our aim was to probe the therapeutic effect by which (BMSC-ex) protect against (DEACMP) in rat models in vivo. Methods: BMSC-ex were successfully characterized and proven to pass the blood brain barrier and migrate to the injured brain area. Rats were randomly divided into six groups and the cognitive function of mice was evaluated by the morris water maze. The severity of pathological changes was evaluated by HE staining and LFB staining. The expression of cytokines was detected by ELISA. Immunohistochemical staining and western blot analysis were utilized to detect the protein expression of Foxp3、CD4、MBP、Notch1 and Hess1 in brain tissue.Results: We found that BMSC-ex significantly reduced inflammation, increased the levels of (Tregs), relieved demyelination, and ameliorated the cognitive impairment in DEACMP rats. Furthermore, inhibiting the Notch pathway led to a partial reversal of the effect of BMSC-ex in mice.Conclusions: BMSC-ex relieved the severity of demyelination in the DEACMP rat models by regulating Tregs subsets and the expression of Notch signaling. Hence BMSC-ex play a protected role in DEACMP by upregulating Tregs and the regulatory components of Notch signaling and this may provide a new clinical strategy for the treatment of DEACMP patients.
