El maestro, los trabajadores rurales y la deserción escolar en Unzué (Bolivar, provincia de Buenos Aires, 1914)
Authors: Cammarota Adrian
Published: July 2024

El artículo se encarrila en un campo de investigación que busca dilucidar por casos particulares como se tejieron las relaciones entre las escuelas Láinez y las comunidades locales. Abordamos un estudio que tiene por objetivo dar cuenta del conflicto acaecido entre los trabajadores rurales en Unzué (Bolívar, provincia de Buenos Aires) en 1914 y el director de la Escuela Láinez N° 101. Con el análisis de una fuente sumarial del Archivo Intermedio de la Nación y documentos atesorados en el Archivo Municipal de Bolívar, partimos de un enfoque cualitativo que se ampara en la microhistoria. Nuestra hipótesis considera que las relaciones sostenidas por los poderes locales, ligados a la posesión de la tierra, ejercieron esas pujas de poder por el control de la escuela gestionada por el Consejo Nacional de Educación (CNE). Sostenemos que la pesquisa es un indicio más que matiza las visiones que sugieren a esta repartición como un organismo vertical y centralizador que, gracias a sus recursos y legitimación, se hallaba predispuesto a “imponer” un proyecto escolar en el país.

Authors: Agrawal Nikita , Rodrigues Shobha Janette , Mahesh M. , Shetty Thilak B. , Pai Umesh Y. , Saldanha Sharon , Hegde Puneeth , Ahmed Junaid , Srikant N.
Published: July 2024

Background:

The ultimate goal of advanced procedures in prosthetic dentistry is to construct a prosthesis based on the accurate reproduction of condylar guidance.

Aim:

To compare the sagittal condylar inclination obtained using the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), panoramic image, and two articulator systems.

Settings and Design:

A cross-sectional study was carried out in 20 dentate patients in the age group of 20–40 years.

Materials and Methods:

Sagittal condylar guidance angles (SCGAs) were measured on two semi-adjustable articulators (Hanau Wide Vue and Denar Mark 320) using protrusive interocclusal record. SCGAs were also measured on the CBCT scans (CBCT reconstructed panoramic image and CBCT sagittal cross section) and the panoramic images obtained from the patients. The angles were determined on the radiographs by joining two lines: Frankfort’s horizontal plane and the other plane were drawn by connecting the superior-most point on the glenoid fossa and the inferior-most point on the articular eminence. All the measurements were done twice by two operators independently.

Statistical Analysis Used:

The data were analyzed using the paired t-test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient with a P ≤ 0.05.

Results:

There was no significant difference between the right and the left side in any of the groups (P ≥ 0.05). In addition, there was no significant difference between the clinical methods (P ≥ 0.05). However, there was a significant difference between the clinical and the radiographic methods (P ≤ 0.05). Furthermore, there was a strong correlation between the clinical and radiographic methods with Pearson’s Correlation coefficient above 0.67.

Conclusion:

There is a strong correlation between the clinical and radiographic methods. Thus, CBCT and OPG can be used an adjunct to clinical methods to record sagittal condylar guidance.
Outcome Assessment of Three Different Methods of Root-end Preparation and Filling Materials in Endodontic Surgery: A Comparative Clinical Prospective Study
Authors: Kaur Ibadat P. , Sroa Renu B. , Debbarma Monalisa , Pallawi Sinha , Kumar Ashok
Published: July 2024

Introduction:

The technique of endodontic surgery had evolved tremendously in the recent years with introduction of new instruments and materials.

Aim:

This study aims to compare the clinical outcome of endodontic microsurgery using three different techniques with three different root-end filling materials for 16 months.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 45 maxillary incisors indicated for root-end surgery were selected for the study. They were enrolled into three groups, i.e. Group A (traditional [TRS]/heat burnished gutta-percha), Group B (concave [CON]/Retroplast), and Group C (cavity/DiaRoot BioAggregate), of 15 teeth each. The clinical and radiographic outcome was recorded at 1, 6, 12, and 16 months using various criteria.

Statistical Analysis:

The data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s post
hoc test using SPSS V. 21 software (IBM Corp., Somers, NY, USA).

Results:

All patients had uneventful healing at the final follow-up. Radiological intratime analysis concluded a highly high significant (P < 0.0001) decrease in the size of radiolucency between the three groups at the third recall visit. Intertime analysis recorded no significant decrease in radiolucency between Groups A and B, a significant decrease in B and C, and a highly significant decrease between Groups A and C at 12 months.

Conclusions:

There was no significant difference in the clinical outcome after endodontic surgery when comparing TRS/heat burnished gutta-percha, CON/Retroplast, and cavity/DiaRoot BioAggregate techniques at 16 months. However, cavity/DiaRoot BioAggregate resulted in significantly rapid and predictable healing at 12 months.

Authors: ElSayed Hend Salah , El-Beialy Amr Ragab , Palomo Juan Martin , Mostafa Yehya Ahmad
Published: July 2024

Background:

Canine retraction has been successful with various force systems and retraction techniques. The appointment interval for force reactivation in canine retraction along the archwire is 4–8 weeks.

Aims:

The aim was to evaluate the effect of different reactivation intervals on the rate of space closure.

Settings and Design:

This split-mouth randomized clinical trial recruited 38 patients indicated for the first premolar extraction.

Methods:

Monthly digital models were acquired for 6 months. The first premolars were extracted, and temporary anchorage devices were placed for maximum anchorage control. The canines were retracted using elastomeric chains which were replaced every 2, 4, 6, or 8 weeks. The monthly rate of canine retraction was measured. The time to space closure was calculated. The secondary outcome was the mesial drift of the first molars.

Statistical Analysis:

The Kaplan–Meier survival analysis and the Friedman test evaluated and compared the groups.

Results:

There was no significant difference between the monthly canine retraction rate or the first molar mesial drift between the groups. The mean time to space closure was 5.74 months in the 2-week reactivation group, which was statistically less than the other groups.

Conclusions:

The 2-week reactivation interval may reduce time to space closure. Direct anchorage control with miniscrews limited anchorage loss significantly.
Functional and Radiological Outcomes of Conservative Treatment of Upper Limb Diaphyseal and Metaphyseal Fractures (Humerus, Radius, and Ulna) with Extension Casting
Authors: Singh Chanchal Kumar , Khare Ghanshyam Narayan , Samad Roshan , Sah Avnish , Aggarwal Prabharanjan
Published: July 2024

Background:

To manage fractures, either operative or nonoperative techniques are required. If the fracture is significantly displaced or angulated, a closed reduction should be done followed by a period of immobilization with casting or splinting. This treatment method forms the basis of nonoperative approach.

Aims and Objectives:

To evaluate the results of management of upper limb diaphysis and metaphyseal fractures (humerus, radius, and ulna) with the application of extension cast in closed fractures in adults to assess the functional acceptance of the procedure and to assess the efficacy and advantage of this treatment.

Materials and Methods:

The study included upper arm fracture patients. Fixed criterion was discouraged for a definite sample size and it was considered to take up as many cases as possible from trauma center on every Wednesday in the entire period of data collection, i.e., from September 2020 to May 2022. Forty-two newly diagnosed cases of the fracture of upper extremities whose radiological and clinical records were intact were included in the study. Patients in the extension casting group were followed up from 14 to 22 months, with an average of 17.34 ± 2.61 months. The full-length cast was applied from 4 to 6 weeks with a mean of 5 weeks. All casts were converted to the above elbow cast when the fracture became sticky.

Results:

Radiological evidence of a fluffy callus appeared at an average of 35 days and bony union was achieved at a mean of 3.48 ± 0.59 months. In the current study after 1 year of treatment, the mean range of motion of all joints of the affected limb became normal; the mean Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score after 6 weeks was 8; after 3 months, the mean VAS score was 4; and after 6 months, the mean VAS score was 1. Extension cast allows gravity to work all the time, which is especially beneficial for comminuted fractures. This reduces the chances of limb shortening.
Outcome of Open Reduction and Internal Fixation versus Hemiarthroplasty in Proximal Humerus Complex Fractures
Authors: Singh Chanchal Kumar , Khare Ghanshyam Narayan , Agrawal Prabhanjan
Published: July 2024

Background:

This study compares open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) versus hemiarthroplasty (HA) in the management of complex proximal humerus fractures.

Materials and Methods:

Neer three- and four-part fracture-dislocations, surgical neck fracture-dislocations with severe articular impaction, and any head-split fracture treated surgically at our institution were studied retrospectively. Constant–Murley scores, Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Shoulder, and 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) scores were obtained and compared between ORIF versus HA treatment.

Results:

Thirty patients were included in the analysis: 15 treated with ORIF were compared to 15 treated with HA with an average follow-up of 60 months. The mean Constant score (72 ± 15 vs. 54 ± 19; P = 0.005), DASH score (13 ± 17 vs. 29 ± 18; P = 0.006), ASES score (87 ± 13 vs. 66 ± 22; P = 0.003), and SF-36 physical composite score (PCS) (50 ± 11 vs. 40 ± 11; P = 0.02) all favored the ORIF group. Because of the potential confounding variable posed by including younger patients, we performed a subgroup analysis of patients older than 50 years. In this group, the Constant, DASH, ASES, and PCS scores remained significantly better in the ORIF group.

Conclusion:

Results of this retrospective study show improved patient-reported outcomes and quality of life scores in patients undergoing ORIF for complex proximal humerus fractures as compared to patients undergoing HA, despite a higher revision rate in the ORIF cohort. When considering patients older than 50 years, outcomes after ORIF were better than HA.

Published: July 2024

The effectiveness of detecting malicious files heavily relies on the quality of the training dataset, particularly its size and authenticity. However, the lack of high-quality training data remains one of the biggest challenges in achieving widespread adoption of malware detection by trained machine and deep learning models. In response to this challenge, researchers have made initial strides by employing generative techniques to create synthetic malware samples. This work utilizes deep variational autoencoders (VAE) and generative adversarial networks (GAN) to produce malware samples as opcode sequences. The generated malware opcodes are then distinguished from authentic opcode samples using machine and deep learning techniques as validation methods. The primary objective of this study was to compare synthetic malware generated using VAE and GAN technologies. The results showed that neither approach could create synthetic malware that could deceive machine learning classification. However, the WGAN-GP algorithm showed more promise by requiring a higher number of synthetic malware samples in the train set to effectively be detected, proving ita better approach in synthetic malware generation.

Published: July 2024

Purpose Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been an important method of treatment in the advance of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The indications for HSCT are evolving and require updated establishment. In this study, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of HSCT on the treatment outcome of pediatric ALL, considering the indications for HSCT and subgroups.Materials and Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on ALL patients diagnosed and treated at a single center. Risk groups were categorized based on age at diagnosis, initial white blood cell count, disease lineage (B/T), and cytogenetic study results. Data on the patients’ disease status at HSCT and indications of HSCT were collected. Indications for HSCT were categorized as upfront HSCT at 1st complete remission, relapse, and refractory disease.Results Among the 549 screened patients, a total of 418 patients were included in the study; B-cell ALL (n=379) and T-cell ALL (T-ALL) (n=39). HSCT was conducted on a total of 106 patients (25.4%), with a higher frequency as upfront HSCT in higher-risk groups and specific cytogenetics. The overall survival (OS) was significantly better when done upfront than in relapsed or refractory state in T-ALL patients (p=0.002). The KMT2A-rearranged ALL patients showed superior event-free survival (p=0.002) and OS (p=0.022) when HSCT was done as upfront treatment.Conclusion HSCT had a substantial positive effect in a specific subset of pediatric ALL. In particular, frontline HSCT for T-ALL and KMT2A-rearranged ALL offered a better prognosis than when HSCT was conducted in a relapsed or refractory setting.

Enhancing Activeness and Educational Competitiveness by Extended Implementation of Discussion-based Lectures
Authors: Park Kwanghee
Published: July 2024

This study aims to explore educational changes through discussion-based classes by highlighting the value and effectiveness of discussions while emphasizing the need to enhance self-directed learning abilities. Discussions are beneficial for forming subjectivity, and expanding and applying them can unlock students’ potential in many areas. Given the longstanding patterns of Korean education, it is necessary to actively consider a methodological shift towards self-directed, creative, and self-enlightening (sustainable) learning through discussion-based classes. Discussion-based learning improves critical thinking, fosters creativity and proactivity through self-directed learning, and ensures learning sustainability. Therefore, this study will analyze the advantages of discussion-based learning both domestically and internationally, explore its application in university teaching systems, and ultimately examine how a teaching method based on self-directed learning and discussion can enhance educational competitiveness. As a research method, this study will adopt discussion-based teaching methods for liberal arts courses, analyze class operations and learning outcomes, and examine how the activeness, creativity, and cooperativeness of discussion classes relate to the enhancement of learning abilities and educational competitiveness. Through this analysis, the study will demonstrate the expansion of discussion classes and show the potential of discussion-based learning in the coming AI era. The transition to discussion-based classes is expected to create a cycle of activeness, creativity, and sustainability through the process of preparation, presentation, and discussion, ensuring learning continuity and driving fundamental changes and innovations in the education system. Considering that the ultimate purpose of education is “not the transmission of knowledge, but to enable learners to teach themselves and develop their abilities to the fullest,” this shift in learning style is significant. It is hoped that, in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Korean education will establish a turning point for future changes through a methodological transition to self-directed, creative, and self-enlightening (sustainable) learning via discussions, thereby increasing the sustainability of discussion-based classes.
Realities and Challenges of Religion Courses in Higher Education : Focusing on the Case of Yonsei University
Authors: Min Kyoung-Shik
Published: July 2024

Christianity courses at Christian colleges and universities are often aimed at converting students. However, religious education as a ‘liberal arts education’ should prioritize ‘religious studies education.’ This differs from other types of religious education, such as ‘faith education’ or ‘spirituality/character education.’ When this ideal approach isn't feasible due to practical constraints, an alternative could be ‘spirituality/character education’ within an ‘experiential education’ context. Ultimately, religious education should strive for liberal arts principles, which is the main stream of liberal and general education. Liberal arts based religious education involves fostering religious literacy, which includes: 1) understanding the nature and significance of religion itself, as well as diverse religious traditions; 2) identifying religious elements that underlie secular events. This form of education, which requires open dialogue with other academic disciplines like the humanities and natural sciences, can serve as a type of convergence education. To achieve this goal, institutions dedicated to liberal and general education need to be established, with full administrative independence. They must operate without interference from denominational authorities, university boards, or chaplains' offices. Guarantees for the independence of administration, the status of faculty, and academic freedom are essential. Religious education that embraces an interdisciplinary approach is suitable for senior students with a broader academic background. Thus, the curriculum should be adjusted to allow senior students to take religious studies courses. Additionally, there should be a broader range of courses that explore religions other than Christianity. Furthermore, ongoing research into ‘Christianity and liberal arts studies’ as an emerging discipline is essential.

Published: July 2024

This study aims to analyze Spiritual Leadership, Employee Resilience, Work Engagement, and Employee Performance, as well as the relationship between them, including the influence of Work Engagement mediation. Hypothesis testing was used to test the influence of Spiritual Leadership and Employee Resilience research on Employee Performance mediated by Work Engagement on employees of State-Owned Banks in East Jakarta City. Since the relationship between variables is explained, a type of correlational research is used. Because the data used is only used once per period, it is cross-sectional and the unit of analysis is an individual, namely an employee of a state-owned bank in East Jakarta City. The results of hypothesis testing show that there are great benefits between Spiritual Leadership and Employee Resilience on Employee Performance, as well as between Spiritual Leadership and Employee Resilience on Work Engagement. However, there was no significant positive effect between Work Engagement on Employee Performance, nor the effect of Work Engagement mediation on the relationship between Spiritual Leadership and Employee Resilience on Employee Performance.

This paper focuses on the shopping behavior of Gen Z consumers while shopping in Jakarta MRT station. MRT has become an alternative solution for transportations in Jakarta to get over traffic jam and tends to have punctual schedule. Each MRT stations have different type of brand and retail stores that varies from food and beverages, convenience store and others.  Gen Z often use MRT as their preferred transportations and in this study their response towards MRT stations retail and shopping behavior was analyzed during a short interview with the respondents.  Analysis in retail shop and how consumers behave towards shopping including their motivations and preferences. In applying a qualitative approach, the study brings forth the Gen Z passengers' preference for punctual, fast travel, brand loyalty, and quick shopping. The results from the research indicate that Gen Z consumers tend to shop at retail shops near the city transit stations in the morning, providing that they love speed and efficiency. It also shows that brand play key role in the Gen Z consuming behavior and how they have planned ahead before actually shopping. The research also indicates that retail firms need to blend the digital way of doing business and social responsibility in order to reach this popular demographic. The dynamics of Gen Z consumers contribute significantly to the choice of products, place, time, and retail shops. Through a deep understanding of these elements, a business can succeed in the trends of the consumers in the urban transit setting.
Growth Assessment in Exclusively Breastfed Against Mixed Fed Infants in Two Hospitals of Fako Division, Southwest Region, Cameroon
Authors: Monono Naiza
Published: July 2024

Background: Improving breastfeeding rates around the world could save the lives of more than 820,000 children under age 5 every year, the majority (87%) being under 6 months of age. The optimal duration of exclusive breastfeeding is one of the crucial public health issues of WHO. Although breastfeeding provides many health benefits to infants, there is not enough information in our setting to support this assertion.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding and evaluate the growth of exclusive breastfed against mixed fed babies in two hospitals of Fako division.

Materials and Methods: A hospital-based, analytic cross-sectional study was carried out with 186 mother-infant pairs from February to April 2022. Data collection consisted of the administration of a pretested questionnaire and anthropometric measurements were taken. Nutritional status and prevalence of respiratory and gastrointestinal infections were then assessed. Bivariate and Multiple logistic regression analysis was done with p-value set at <0.05. Results: The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding in our setting was 43% while the prevalence of mixed feeding was 57%. The main reasons for practicing mixed feeding were: maternal school or work resumption (43.4%) and insufficient breastmilk (34%). The most common reason for practicing exclusive breastfeeding was medical advice (70%). On multivariate analysis, having a paid job (OR: 0.44, 95 % C.I: 0.203-0.968, p= 0.04) was the only significant predictor of mixed feeding. The incidence of diarrhea was significantly more prevalent (OR: 7.583, 95% C.I: 2.527-22.753, p=0.00) in mixed fed infants compared to exclusively breastfed infants.

Conclusion: The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding in our setting is low so there is need to improve and strengthen breastfeeding education during Antenatal visits. Our findings highlight the importance of breastfeeding to protect against diarrhea-specific morbidity and strengthens the current WHO recommendation of exclusive breastfeeding till 6 months. These results prove the relationship between feeding method and infant morbidity and provides more data with the aim of encouraging more mothers to practice exclusive breastfeeding hence reducing infant morbidity and mortality.
PROTEIN CONTENT STABILITY OF TRITICALE GENOTYPES UNDER MULTIPLE ENVIRONMENTS USING AMMI ANALYSIS
Authors: KENDAL Enver
Published: July 2024

Triticale is an important source of protein in animal nutrition, both as grain and silage. Protein is a quality criterion that is strongly affected by the environment and genetic factors. The objectives of this study were to assess genotype–environment (G-E) interactions and determine and compare stable genotypes to recommend for further evaluation. The protein content of 12 genotypes obtained from 7 environments were evaluated using additive main effect and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) analysis in the 2014–2015 and 2015–2016 growing seasons in 4 locations in Turkey. The variance of AMMI analysis based on protein content showed a significant effect of environment, genotype and G–E interaction, with a 93.0, 2.3 and 4.5% total variation, respectively. Partitioning of the total sum of squares showed that the effect of environment was a predominant source of variation, followed by the G–E interaction and genotype effect. AMMI analysis showed that the first principal component was highly significant at P < 0.01. The mean grain protein content varied from 14.9 to 16.2% among the genotypes and from 10.9 to 18.8% among the environments. AMMI analysis indicated that G3, G12 and G1 were quite promising genotypes. G8, which was used as a variety candidate in this research, was quite stable but had a low protein value. In addition, G3, G11 and G12 had a higher protein content than the standard varieties evaluated in this research. G3 had both a high protein content and stable genotype; therefore, it can be recommended to release as a candidate. As AMMI analysis indicated, E1 and E7 environments were especially suitable for protein studies in triticale, while E4, E5 and E6 showed poor results and were not suitable environments.
Bloqueio do nervo femoral versus fentanil por via venosa em pacientes adultos com fraturas de quadril: revisão sistemática
Authors: Costa Milena Rafaela Pinto Moraes de Souza , Ramos Bruno José Almeida Macieira , Faria Mayara Cristina Siqueira , Henrique Gustavo Rodrigues
Published: July 2024

Introdução: O uso de opioides no pós-operatório de cirurgias ortopédicas vem aumentando com o passar dos anos. O fentanil tem sido utilizado, pois além de ofertar analgesia durante o ato cirúrgico, também proporciona alívio álgico no período pós-cirúrgico. Entretanto, seu uso a longo prazo vem sendo bastante associado ao abuso e dependência de opiáceos. Em contrapartida, no bloqueio do nervo femoral apresenta uma alternativa interessante quanto a dor perioperatória, reduzindo a administração de opióides na internação. Esta revisão sistemática visa comparar o uso intravenoso de fentanil com o bloqueio do nervo femoral para fins de analgesia pós-operatória, em pacientes adultos que foram submetidos a cirurgias ortopédicas no quadril. Materiais, sujeitos e métodos: A fim de realizar esta revisão sistemática, foi realizada buscas e consultados artigos científicos e artigos de revisão publicados e referenciados na PubMED, Scopus e Web of Sience entre os anos de 2010 e junho de 2024. Resultados e discussão: Há fortes evidências de que o bloqueio do nervo femoral tem sido superior ao o uso de fentanil intravenoso tanto no período perioperatório como no pós-cirúrgico, tendo sido observado uma diminuição significativa no uso de opióides reduzindo sedações exageradas, efeitos colaterais, gastrointestinais e o tempo de internação dos pacientes avaliados. Considerações finais: Apesar das fortes evidências encontradas na superioridade do bloqueio do nervo femoral, é importante ressaltar que o assunto ainda está sob análise devido aos efeitos que possam ser encontrados nesse tipo de analgesia. Alguns pacientes apresentaram paralisia motora temporária dos músculos flexores da coxa, mesmo após o tempo de ação ter sido concluído, aumentando o risco de queda pós-operatória. Contudo, este efeito colateral não é observado em todos os pacientes e baseado nos estudos avaliados, o bloqueio ainda tem se mostrado superior em comparativo ao fentanil intravenoso.
Rocurônio e sugammadex em um recém-nascido de 3 dias para drenar um cisto ovariano. Manejo neuromuscular e revisão da literatura

Published: July 2024

Introdução: BNMs são essenciais na anestesia para facilitar a intubação endotraqueal e otimizar as condições cirúrgicas. Embora a succinilcolina tenha sido tradicionalmente preferida para indução de sequência rápida (ISR) devido ao seu rápido início de ação e curta duração, o rocurônio, um BNMs não despolarizante, é frequentemente preferido quando a succinilcolina é contraindicada. O sugamadex, um agente de ligação seletiva de relaxantes, proporciona reversão rápida e confiável dos BNMs esteroidais como o rocurônio, oferecendo uma alternativa aos agentes de reversão tradicionais, como a neostigmina. Objetivo: Revisar o uso e a farmacologia dos agentes bloqueadores neuromusculares (BNMs) e suas reversões em anestesia pediátrica, com foco nos benefícios e riscos do uso de rocurônio e sugamadex. Materiais/sujeitos e métodos: Uma revisão abrangente da literatura que examina a aplicação clínica, monitoramento e reversão dos BNMs, com foco no uso pediátrico e na comparação entre rocurônio e succinilcolina para ISR, e a eficácia do sugamadex versus neostigmina para reversão de BNMs. Resultados e discussão: O rocurônio, na dose de 1 mg/kg, proporciona condições adequadas para intubação em 60 segundos, comparável à succinilcolina, embora com uma duração de ação mais longa. O sugamadex, aprovado para uso em crianças com mais de dois anos e utilizado off-label em crianças mais jovens, mostrou-se eficaz e seguro na reversão do bloqueio neuromuscular induzido pelo rocurônio. O uso do sugamadex permite a reversão rápida de níveis mais profundos de bloqueio sem os efeitos colinérgicos associados à neostigmina. Estudos indicam a ausência de efeitos adversos significativos quando utilizado em populações pediátricas, com o sugamadex oferecendo recuperação mais rápida e menos complicações pulmonares pós-operatórias em comparação com a neostigmina. Considerações finais: O rocurônio, quando combinado com o sugamadex, oferece uma alternativa viável à succinilcolina para ISR em anestesia pediátrica, minimizando riscos associados à succinilcolina, como hipercalemia e hipertermia maligna.

Implementación de una red de monitoreo de la calidad del aire utilizando tecnologías IoT de bajo costo, caso de estudio El Salvador
Authors: Flores-Cortez Omar Otoniel , Hernández Jose Ramon Cornejo
Published: July 2024

La contaminación del aire es un peligro ambiental innegable que amenaza gravemente la salud humana. Sus fuentes son múltiples y van desde fábricas y vehículos hasta la quema de combustibles fósiles. El Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (MARN) es la institución estatal encargada de monitorear la calidad del aire en El Salvador. Sin embargo, es necesario aumentar la capacidad actual del MARN ya que sólo cuenta con tres estaciones de monitoreo para todo el país. La Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS) ha reconocido esta situación y ha clasificado a El Salvador como un país sin capacidad para monitorear adecuadamente la calidad del aire. En este artículo presentamos una propuesta de arquitectura IoT (Internet de las Cosas) de bajo costo para monitorear la calidad del aire y también presentamos la implementación inicial de estas estaciones en diferentes partes de El Salvador. El sistema IoT monitorea parámetros críticos de calidad del aire: contaminación por partículas, temperatura y humedad. El sistema IoT comprende nodos IoT para la medición en tiempo real de parámetros de calidad del aire y una plataforma de datos IoT. Este trabajo da como resultado un prototipo de un sistema IoT para monitorear variables de calidad del aire a través de una página web. Se han implementado varios nodos IoT en diferentes ciudades de El Salvador como pruebas preliminares de campo, y los resultados obtenidos han sido satisfactorios y muestran que el enfoque propuesto es una opción eficiente y de bajo costo.

Abstract. This article aims to establish adjustments to the talent selection system for the speed category in the admission and retention of athletes aged 12-13 years at the Schools of Sports Initiation (EIDE). Employing an exploratory case study method, a population census of 31 sports professionals with over ten years of experience in training athletes aged 12-15 years was selected. Subsequently, the determination of indicators for admitting male athletes aged 12-13 was conducted. The findings highlighted the importance of incorporating additional dimensions that assess physical motor skills, biomechanical, morphological, technical, and psychosocial factors. The study concludes that improving talent selection processes is crucial, as both internal and external stimuli significantly influence the selection outcomes. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate athletes across multiple dimensions to ensure their comprehensive development and optimal performance in their sporting activities.
