A REVIEW ON AUTOMATIC IMAGE CAPTIONING GENERATION
Authors: Dubey Rachita , Miri Rohit
Published: February 2025

Image caption is a very popular approach through which descriptive language can be generated in natural form. It is a difficult task in the field of artificial intelligence to assess an image and then write captions that are appropriate using computer vision approaches. The motive of the paper is to review the related studies in image captioning. Numerous studies on image captioning have been conducted, however optimum precision is still needed for accurate and precise captioning. To create well-organized sentences, a system that considers both semantic and syntactic factors is necessary. It is necessary to get the things that are over the image and explain how they link to one another or to express the activity in accordance with the situation in the image in order to get a better caption. The goal of image captioning can be accomplished using a variety of machine learning techniques, and numerous studies have used CNN, RNN, DNN, LSTM, and other approaches. The majority of researchers evaluated their systems using a variety of benchmarks, including Flickr8K, Flickr30K, MSCOCO and many more. However, Flickr8K, which has 8092 images or challenges to test the system's performance, is the most used dataset.
RELIGIOUS PRACTICES IN THE SATAVAHANA EMPIRE
Authors: Suresha T M
Published: February 2025

The Satavahana Empire, which flourished between the 2nd century BCE and the 2nd century CE in the Deccan region of India, was characterized by a diverse and syncretic religious landscape. The empire, with its strategic location as a cultural crossroads, saw the integration of various religious practices, including Brahmanism, Buddhism, Jainism, and regional folk traditions. The Satavahana rulers, particularly kings like Gautamiputra Satakarni, were known for their religious tolerance and active patronage of multiple faiths, which played a crucial role in solidifying their political power and maintaining social cohesion. Brahmanism, the precursor to Hinduism, was strongly supported by the Satavahana kings, who performed Vedic rituals and sacrifices to legitimize their rule. Royal patronage extended to the construction of temples, and the worship of deities like Surya (the Sun God) and Siva became prominent. Simultaneously, the Satavahanas were notable patrons of Buddhism, commissioning the construction of stupas, viharas, and chaityas, particularly in centers like Amaravati and Nagarjunakonda. These monuments, with their rich carvings and sculptures, not only served religious purposes but also represented the empire's artistic achievements.The Satavahanas also supported Jainism, reflecting the pluralistic nature of their reign. Jain monks and nuns were provided with the freedom to practice and spread their teachings, contributing to the religious diversity of the empire. Additionally, the royal patronage of religious institutions served to enhance the empire's prestige, with religious rituals and donations often being recorded in inscriptions. The Satavahana Empire's religious practices, blending indigenous traditions with influences from trade and foreign interactions, laid the foundation for the cultural and religious developments of South India, making the empire a significant chapter in the history of Indian religion.

Authors: Saputri Dita Ayu , Suhendra Dedy , Gunawan Erin Ryantin , Murniati Murniati
Published: February 2025

Epoxy is a cyclic ether compound that contains an oxirane group and has been widely applied as a stabilizer, plasticizer in polyvinyl chloride (PVC), surfactant, pesticide raw material, and as a polymer resin coating. The raw materials in epoxy synthesis come from petroleum derivatives, which are non-renewable natural resources. Therefore, there is a need for alternative raw materials that can be renewed, such as vegetable oil. In this study, nyamplung seed oil was used. Epoxy synthesis is usually carried out using carboxylic acid epoxidation with the help of an acid catalyst. This research aims to determine the effect of the type of acid catalyst and its concentration on the epoxidation reaction of nyamplung seed oil and the characterization of the epoxy produced. The research results show that using an acid catalyst can increase the formation of oxirane groups at a certain concentration, where the highest oxirane number value was obtained when using the H2SO4 catalyst, namely 3.15%. The resulting epoxy is pale yellow, has a typical absorption area (COC) at a wave number of 825 cm-1, an iodine value of 13.96 g iod/100 g, a viscosity of 20.80 cP, and a relative per cent conversion to oxirane of 73.4 %

Published: February 2025

Moringa seed oil is a vegetable oil that has many benefits for health and the pharmaceutical industry. Moringa seed oil can be extracted either chemically or mechanically. This research aims to characterize moringa seed oil’s physicochemical properties and fatty acid composition using soxhletation chemical extraction and screw-pressing mechanical extraction with various pretreatment temperatures of 50, 60, and 70°C. The research showed that the highest yield of moringa seed oil, 41.74%, was obtained at an initial treatment temperature of 70°C using the soxhletation method for 6 hours. The acid value of moringa seed oil from soxhletation is 2.01 mg KOH/g, and screw pressing is 4.37 mg KOH/g. The iodine number from soxhletation was 66.62 mg iod/100g, and screw pressing was 60.27 mg iod/100g. The density of the oil from soxhletation and screw pressing is 0.922 mg/mL and 0.934 mg/mL, respectively, with an oil viscosity of 3.298 cP and 3.424 cP. The results of GC-MS analysis show that moringa seed oil from soxhletation has an oleic acid composition of 40.92%, while the screw pressing has an oleic acid composition of 22.50%. This finding demonstrates the influence of extraction methods on the fatty acid profile, particularly the concentration of oleic acid, a key component of moringa seed oil. These results contribute to understanding how specific extraction techniques can optimize the quality of moringa seed oil.

Published: February 2025

Antioxidants protect the skin from the adverse effects of free radicals, which can potentially trigger premature aging and even skin cancer. Free radicals, with unpaired electrons, are highly reactive and can damage cellular structures. However, the high risk of side effects from synthetic antioxidants, such as skin cancer, has increased interest in natural sources. In cosmetic formulations, gel preparations are highly favored because they can optimally and stably deliver active ingredients to the skin. This study employed a literature review method by examining and collecting articles from relevant scientific journals published over the past 10 years (2014–2024), with 13 articles as primary references. The analysis found that several extracts, such as leilem leaf, pandan, and green tea, exhibited strong antioxidant potential, as indicated by low IC50 values, making them ideal as active ingredients in gel formulations. In addition to the type of plant leaves, the effectiveness of these antioxidants is influenced by the extract concentration used, solvent selection during extraction, and the processing techniques employed in formulation.
Hacking Animals for Decolonial Futures
Authors: Brings Rebecca
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT: Africanfuturistic fiction and its proliferating body of scholarship mark the significance of future-oriented imaginings from, about, and for Africa. In such alternative futures, animals are often uncritically read to bear the burden and violence of change in renewed anticolonial, post-capitalist imaginings. This article is interested in the ways in which the animal is integrated into the "new emancipatory mindscapes" (Lavender and Yaszek 3) of African future-oriented imaginings. Deji Bryce Olukotun's treatment of bio- and animal technology in an Africanfuturistic context makes visible the violent structures of uncritical bioeconomic discourses and institutionalized discourses of biomimicry. The representation of biochemical defenses in Nigerians in Space and the techno-euphoric speculations of sustainable bioeconomies in After the Flare bring into focus the modes of integrating and mastering nature that distort and obstruct decolonial frameworks in the present and for possible futures. Across both novels, blurred conceptions of sustainability and welfare supply the ideological loopholes for nature to be mastered through deepened colonial architectures.
Border as Reparative Geography: Shailja Patel's Eastern Africa
Authors: Allahyari Keyvan
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT: Can poetry be a tool to fix broken emotions—for the poet and the audience? Can performance art help returning to a distressed geography in the hope of restoring the damage that colonial violence has left behind? Shailja Patel's genre-defying collection gives an affirmative, however complex and ambivalent, answer to both of these questions. This article commits to the challenge of thinking with the formalism of performing repair across Eastern African borders. I argue that Migritude , as performance, poetry, and political manifesto, holds conflicting emotions about Eastern Africa as a cross-border region in its complex, longue durée of cycles of loss and recuperation. To draw near this geography, to love it again, Migritude embraces its affective discord with brutal sincerity, and hands it over to its audience without much damage control. Somewhere between Patel's design and the unpredictability of the outcome of her dramaturgy, a poetic act is created that momentarily heals its battered land, the geography that she has left behind and the one that she has come to reinhabit alongside fellow Eastern African citizens. By achieving this effect, Migritude 's political theatrics brings home a worldly drama, with a gesture to acknowledge the diverse and interconnected fabric of Eastern Africa and a remedy for its abused past.

Authors: Moolla F. Fiona
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT: Nuruddin Farah (b 1945 Baidoa, Somalia) is the writer who, in African literature, has made the form of the trilogy his hallmark. Farah's oeuvre as a whole may be seen to encompass the (post)colonial history of Somalia, suggested by the titles of his trilogies: Variations on the Theme of an African Dictatorship, Blood in the Sun, Past Imperfect , and the soon to be completed fourth trilogy, provisionally titled Diaspora Stories . These trilogies represent a fictional reflection of Somalia's colonial history, its independence, its slide into authoritarianism, its civil war fragmentation, its media images dominated by terrorism and piracy, and the current constitution of Somalia as a nation in diaspora. Farah is the author also of a nonfiction book Yesterday, Tomorrow: Voices from the Somali Diaspora . He is also an essayist of note with pieces published in the Times Literary Supplement , the New York Times , and other major publications. Farah was the winner of the 1998 Neustadt Award, a number of prestigious Italian literary awards, and a South African Lifetime Achievement Award, among other international prizes. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Acitretin is the major metabolite of etretinate , an aromatic retinoid that formerly was approved for Psoriasis by exhibiting  vitamin A activity.  Acitretin was wildly used to improve plaque psoriasis  and also for postural psoriasis and  erthrodemic psoriasis .The present study focus on the evaluation of the common  side effects of acitretin which makes a wide hesitation for Iraqi dermatologists to use it in treatement of psoriasis. Twenty  psoriatic outpatient were treated with a dose of 25mg/ day for three continuous months in outpatient clinic of al- noor hospital during 2009 , their lipid profiles , liver and kidney function tests before starting treatment with acitretin considered as a control values. It was noticed that AST level increased significantly during 2nd and 3rd months of treatment and there is no significant change in S. Creatinine and BUN while TG  increased significantly in 2nd and 3rd months of treatment.Cholesterol increased in the 3rd month of treatment. There is other  important factors should be consider before evaluation the physiological changes may be caused by acitretin like smoking , alcohol intake , obesity and genetic association between psoriasis and other physiological change. However the changes that caused by administration of  acitretin were relatively acceptable and not preventive measurement , but continuous monitoring (of TG , cholesterol , liver and kidney function test) still required regularly.
The Fall of the Masks: Virtues and Vices in Albanian Comedy in the Early 20th Century
Authors: Rusi Eris , Spaho Jonela , Shyta Ilir
Published: February 2025

This study examines the key aspects of Albanian comedy in the early 20th century and its role in reflecting and critiquing the social, cultural, and political dynamics of the time. Early Albanian comedic works utilized humor and satire to unmask societal flaws and contradictions. Despite their significance, these comedies have often been overlooked in literary studies, particularly after World War II, leading to a gap in understanding their cultural and artistic impact. A central focus of this study is the symbolic “rising of the curtain” and the “fall of the masks,” representing the exposure of societal truths through comedic characters and narratives. From a linguistic perspective, these comedies employ devices such as irony, sarcasm, and hyperbole to amplify their critiques and engage audiences. The language of comedy in these works serves as a powerful tool for unveiling hidden realities, often using witty dialogue, puns, and rhetorical questions to challenge prevailing norms and provoke critical reflection. Furthermore, the use of distancing techniques, such as breaking the fourth wall, allows actors to engage directly with the audience, fostering an interactive and reflective experience. These linguistic and theatrical strategies, deeply rooted in the traditions of satire and humor, function as both entertainment and social commentary. By deconstructing societal masks, early Albanian comedy highlights the interplay between language, performance, and social critique, offering valuable insights into the cultural and linguistic heritage of the time.
Reducing manual interventions in financial transfers with automation
Authors: Akash Gill
Published: February 2025

This paper discusses the roboticization of operations in money transfers, emphasizing minimizing human interference levels to enhance effectiveness, reliability, and security. Organizations have long used it, but manual financial processes are becoming less effective in the rapidly growing financial environment. That results in time consumption, mistakes, increased working expenses, legal issues, and customer issues. This paper shows how automation technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, robot process automation, and cloud technology solve these challenges and transform the financial flow. One example of automation operations whose real-life scenario was established through tools like Go, Angular, and AWS that credit unions put into practice involves. Implementing these technologies allowed credit unions to increase the credit transaction's efficiency, decrease manual mistakes, and enhance adherence to legislation's requirements. The case also discusses similar issues, such as the integration of automated legacy systems, employees' resistance toward automation, and the strategies being followed for automation success. The paper further explores what may occur in automation, specifically focusing on blockchain, DeFi, predictive analytics and rea, and real-time payments. All these innovations seek to increase the level of openness and scalability while simultaneously making customer personalization possible and considering ethical and regulatory issues. This document is a reference tool for the information that financial institutions require if they are interested in using automation as a business driver. With automation, organizations can optimize their processes, prepare for further development, and enhance competition in the constantly growing financial sector.
Integrating sustainability in supply chain management: Exploring the impact of sustainable practices on organizational sustainability within manufacturing companies in Sierra Leone
Authors: Sheku Alhassan Kebe
Published: February 2025

This study examines the integration of sustainability within Supply Chain Management (SCM) practices in Sierra Leone, focusing on the role of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) as a critical framework. Employing a quantitative research design, the research investigates how SCM practices influence Organizational Sustainability (OS) through Supply Chain Efficiency and Integration (SCEI) as a mediating factor. Drawing on survey data from five manufacturing companies, structural equation modeling (SEM) validates the hypothesized relationships. Findings reveal that effective SCM practices positively impact OS, with SCEI partially mediating this relationship, indicating that efficient and integrated supply chains enhance sustainability outcomes. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of collaboration across the supply chain, suggesting that firms that align sustainability initiatives with operational practices are better positioned to achieve both economic and environmental benefits. The study contributes theoretically by bridging the gap between SCM and sustainability literature, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to SSCM. Practically, the results suggest that organizations in Sierra Leone should adopt integrated SCM practices to enhance sustainability and resilience in their operations. Future research should explore the applicability of these findings across different sectors and regions, as well as the long-term impacts of integrated sustainability practices on organizational performance.

This report explores the multifaceted experiences of parents raising children with learning disabilities (LD), offering insights into their challenges, strategies, and aspirations. Drawing from qualitative data collected through interviews, the study highlights key themes, including the early identification of LD, the impact on academic and social development, and the psychological and emotional well-being of both children and families. Parents reported various diagnoses for their children, such as Global Developmental Delay (GDD) and mild autism, often identified through early signs like communication delays and social withdrawal. In inclusive classroom settings, children with LD face barriers such as limited communication skills and difficulties engaging with peers, which can lead to isolation and frustration. Effective strategies identified by parents include therapeutic interventions, individualized educational adjustments, and fostering confidence through positive reinforcement. Parents emphasize the importance of maintaining a supportive home environment and nurturing emotional resilience in their children. The report also examines how LD influences family dynamics, with siblings playing an active role in fostering inclusiveness. Parents expressed aspirations for their children's independence and societal integration, highlighting the value of leveraging unique skills for future opportunities. This study underscores the critical importance of early intervention, tailored strategies, and holistic support systems in addressing the complexities of learning disabilities.

Authors: Dimitrios Psychas
Published: February 2025

Introduction: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a major public health crisis, as well as economic and social consequences for the global economy, becoming a global issue.

Purpose: To identify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Greek economy.

Methodology: This narrative review was based on the bibliographic search of reviews and research studies drawn from international databases. The exclusion criterion of the articles was the language other than English and Greek.

Results: With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, the European Union made efforts to properly address the economic consequences of the pandemic, but the budget crisis preceded it, and thus the economies were led into further recession. Greece, which had previously gone through a long period of economic crisis, remained unscathed by the new crisis created by the pandemic. The pandemic brought additional socio-economic problems that Greece, with the support and cooperation of the European Union, was called upon to resolve. The impact of the pandemic on Greece caused a multitude of issues in sectors such as employment, tourism, industry, and transport.

Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound and lasting impact on the Greek economy, exacerbating existing vulnerabilities that existed since the time of the economic crisis.

Authors: TALSHA IRZAPUTRI ARMADANTY  , DEVY RATRIANA AMIATI
Published: February 2025

Background: Dental caries in early childhood (ECC) is the presence of one or more damaged, missing or filled teeth. In Indonesia, the reported prevalence of ECC in children aged 5 years in Indonesia is 90.2%. The cause of high ECC is inappropriate milk giving to children, either bottled milk or breast milk, due to lack of knowledge of parents, especially mothers and involvement of socio-economic status.

Objective: This study aims to examine the relationship between breastfeeding habits based on the socio-economic status of parents with the incidence of Early Childhood Dental Caries.

Method: The method used is a literature review with a narrative review procedure.

Result: There are still many parents who do not understand about proper breastfeeding, this is influenced by socio-economic factors so that the prevalence of early childhood caries is still high.

Conclusion: Early Childhood Caries is caused by the habit of breastfeeding or formula milk, the level of knowledge of the parents, as well as the socioeconomic status of the family.
Exploring factors, outcomes, and benefits in supply chain finance: Insights and future directions for the U.S. healthcare system
Authors: Jehoiarib Umoren  , Tobias Kwame Adukpo  , Nicholas Mensah
Published: February 2025

This article examines the factors, benefits, and outcomes of Supply Chain Finance (SCF) within the U.S. healthcare system, focusing on optimizing cash flow, reducing financing costs, and enhancing supply chain efficiency. The paper used a structured literature review. 25 research publications from the Scopus and Web of Science databases were selected and examined, with the most prevalent approaches being analytical, case-based, and simulation. Key findings showed that SCF provides significant financial and operational benefits, such as lower financing costs, increased access to capital, and improved profitability and financial performance. The Cash-to-Cash (C2C) cycle, which includes measures such as Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO), and Days Payable Outstanding (DPO), is highlighted as a significant measure for demonstrating the financial value that SCF brings to supply chains. The study also emphasizes SCF's potential to create a "triple win" scenario for healthcare supply chain partners and financial service providers by facilitating efficient financing and lowering capital costs, particularly by leveraging partners with lower weighted average costs of capital (WACC). Technological integration, particularly with Fintech, has the potential to further streamline SCF procedures, improve transparency, and reduce decision-making costs, but regulatory complications continue to be a barrier. The study indicates that SCF can alter healthcare supply chains by enhancing liquidity and operational efficiency. The study concludes that SCF can considerably improve healthcare supply chains' liquidity and operational efficiency.
Constitución como límite, Constitución como fundamento, Constitución como axiología
Authors: Pino Giorgio
Published: February 2025

En este trabajo se reconstruyen tres concepciones de la constitución, denominadas "constitución como límite" (o modelo de la constitución "por reglas"), " constitución como fundamento" (o modelo de la constitución "por principios"), y "constitución como axiología" (o modelo de la constitución "por valores") y se destacan sus repercusiones sobre las técnicas interpretativas y argumentativas utilizadas por los juristas asociados a los órdenes constitucionales contemporáneos. Se culmina explorando su naturaleza, fundamentalmente normativa, aunque en parte también descriptiva y analizando sus relaciones recíprocas, para comprobar que coexisten superpuestos y combinados, pero que tienen, como tales, cierta virtualidad explicativa de las prácticas interpretativas y argumentativas que se dan en la cultura jurídica reciente. Finalmente, se valora el grado en que favorecen la normatividad de la constitución, concluyéndose que el modelo de los principios garantiza una proyección flexible de la constitución sobre el resto del ordenamiento jurídico, abierta a la participación de diversos actores institucionales, motivo por el que resulta preferible al modelo de los límites, que es demasiado estrecho y circunscrito y al de los valores, que es difuso y casuístico.

La presente monografía es adaptación de la tesis doctoral defendida por la autora en la Universidad de Salamanca en septiembre de 2018. Nos encontramos ante un interesante estudio en el que se pretende arrojar nueva luz sobre una franja etaria, la ancianidad femenina, que hasta la fecha no ha merecido la atención que debiera por parte de la historiografía. La novedad del trabajo que presentamos  es destacable, pues —a mi conocimiento— no se ha realizado, hasta la fecha, ninguna obra que aborde de manera sistemática la cuestión de la vejez femenina en la Roma antigua.

Authors: Román Ruiz Gloria
Published: February 2025

Reseña del libro:
Biografías, identidades y representaciones femeninas reúne trabajos de diferentes investigadoras e investigadores que se han interesado desde diversas perspectivas por las trayectorias vitales de mujeres que vivieron en diferentes momentos históricos. Se trata de una obra colectiva que resulta pertinente y necesaria por su atención a uno de los grupos subalternos más marginados en los estudios biográficos. Los once capítulos que la componen atienden a la forma en que el poder (en sentido foucaultiano) atraviesa las experiencias vitales de las mujeres, salpicadas de episodios de resistencia e insumisión. También comparten su preocupación por otras categorías analíticas como las de etnia, raza, religión o clase social que, junto a la de género, conformaron las múltiples identidades de las mujeres en el pasado. Todo ello sin olvidar los ecos de estas apreciaciones en el presente, al que se hacen constantes alusiones. Otro de los elementos transversales a varios de los trabajos tiene que ver con las manifestaciones de solidaridad y sororidad entre mujeres, aún en coyunturas históricas muy dispares y en contextos espaciales y temporales muy alejados entre sí. La delimitación cronológica de las investigaciones contenidas en este volumen resulta realmente ambiciosa, abarcando desde la época medieval hasta el siglo xx. Lo mismo ocurre con el marco geográfico, que se extiende desde España a Japón, pasando por Francia y el mundo árabe. Casi todas ellas atienden a contextos urbanos, aunque también las hay que prestan atención a ámbitos rurales, como el capítulo segundo a cargo de Carlota Á. Escudero y Agustina Hidalgo.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to analyze the factors that influence employee turnover intention at Encar Daihatsu Baturaja Branch. Turnover intention is an employee's intention to leave their job, which can have a negative impact on productivity and organizational stability. The factors that cause turnover intention (Y) are Job Insecurity (X1) and workload (X2). This research uses a quantitative approach with a survey method through questionnaires distributed to employees. The analysis technique uses multiple linear regression. The results of the analysis show that job insecurity has a significant positive effect on turnover intention. Employees who feel insecure about their job continuity are more likely to look for opportunities elsewhere. In addition, workload also has a significant positive influence on turnover intention, where high levels of workload cause stress that encourages the intention to leave the job. Simultaneously, job insecurity and workload contribute significantly to the increase in employee turnover intention. Based on the results of this study, companies are advised to reduce job insecurity by creating more transparent policies and providing job stability guarantees. In addition, more effective workload management, such as fair division of tasks and provision of additional support, can help reduce employee stress levels. Thus, turnover intention can be reduced, and employee retention can be improved.

Lithium titanate oxide (LTO) batteries' practical application in modern technologies depends on accurately predicting their state of health (SoH). Using advanced machine learning (ML) techniques, our study examined how to estimate LTO batteries' SoH. For this purpose, we aged rechargeable LTO batteries for 3500 cycles with a battery analyzer and performed differential voltage analysis (DVA). To estimate SoH as a regression problem, we used three machine learn-ing methods: Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Gaussi-an Process Regressions (GPR). As a novel approach to SoH estimation, our research uses a feedforward neural network to solve the categorization problem. In analyzing and comparing the performance of all methods, we found that this categorization-based neural network ap-proach improved computational efficiency by 60.89% while achieving SoH estimation accura-cy of 93.18%. By advancing the field of battery health monitoring, these findings contribute to more reliable and efficient battery management algorithms. In addition to improving battery management systems' accuracy and computational efficiency, the categorization approach demonstrated here could also be used to extend the life and reliability of LTO batteries, includ-ing those used in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. The results of this study illustrate the importance of applying innovative machine learning applications to en-hance battery SoH estimations, providing important implications for future research and prac-tice.

Published: February 2025

Introducción. La pancreatitis aguda es una patología infrecuente en niños. Su principal síntoma es el dolor abdominal, con un amplio espectro en su evolución clínica, desde episodios autolimitados hasta falla orgánica múltiple y muerte.
Caso clínico. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 9 años, que fue llevada a cirugía de urgencia por un cuadro de 48 horas de dolor en epigastrio, irradiado a fosa ilíaca derecha, asociado a náuseas y múltiples episodios eméticos, sugestivo de apendicitis aguda.
Resultados. Con los hallazgos intraoperatorios de abundante líquido serohemático en cavidad abdominal se sospechó un origen pancreático y se solicitaron los estudios de laboratorios e imágenes diagnósticas con los que se confirmó el diagnóstico.
Conclusión. La pancreatitis aguda necrosante en niños ha incrementado su incidencia en las dos últimas décadas, representando un diagnóstico diferencial en casos de dolor abdominal que simula una patología quirúrgica, como la apendicitis aguda.

Published: February 2025

En el hábitat popular en Mar del Plata se observan viviendas con déficit habitacional y sin conforthigrotérmico, ya que no se implementan aislantes térmicos. En este trabajo se propone el diseño deplacas térmicas utilizando los desechos de la industria textil y la alimenticia, de la misma ciudad. Elobjetivo es optimizar los materiales y métodos disponibles para la fabricación de las placasaplicables en las viviendas del hábitat popular y a su vez, analizar su aplicación en un núcleohúmedo en el barrio Caribe. Para ello, se hacen pruebas en laboratorio e in situ. Se logran placascon cinco densidades distintas que varían entre 551 kg/m3 y 279 kg/m3. En las pruebas en la obrase observa facilidad en la aplicación y muy buena respuesta en las pruebas de manipulabilidad.Dados estos resultados se propone seguir con otros ensayos, en particular, de conductividadtérmica.
