Historia de 20 años de trabajo visionario en la publicación científica
Authors: Vega Villalobos Nora Agnes
Published: July 2021

La Revista Enfermería Actual en Costa Rica inició hace veinte años como un proyecto de docencia para crear una revista electrónica. El objetivo inicial de la revista fue publicar los trabajos de graduación realizados por estudiantes e investigaciones del personal docente de la Escuela de Enfermería y de otros profesionales en el campo de la salud.

Se propuso como una innovación de la acción pedagógica, basada en la generalización de las redes teleinformáticas. De esta forma se aprovechaban las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, para favorecer el aprendizaje interactivo y dinámico del estudiantado. Así como la divulgación de resultados de investigación en enfermería. Pero también permitiría ser utilizada por cualquier profesional que lo requiriera y en cualquier lugar del mundo.

Antes de que esta inquietud naciera, la Escuela de Enfermería de la Universidad de Costa Rica no contaba con ningún medio de difusión para su producción, como las tesis de licenciatura o de los trabajos de graduación. A nivel nacional, enfermería solo utilizaba la Revista del Colegio de Enfermeras. Además, la divulgación de las experiencias de la práctica de Enfermería, estaba limitado al interés de publicación de unos pocos profesionales en esta área.

La génesis de la revista fue una inspiración de la fundadora principal, la Dra. Ligia Rojas Valenciano, después de su egreso del Doctorado en Educación, de donde conoció involucró a la Mag. en Planificación Curricular, Ana Guzmán Aguilar, en esta aventura.

El inicio estuvo marcado por recursos humanos muy limitados, solo las dos docentes gestoras del proyecto que asumieron la edición y la dirección.  Además, al inicio del proceso, asumieron las labores secretariales, junto a un diseñador gráfico y, luego, estudiantes becados, que abarcaron diversos trabajos dentro del proceso de edición.

Toxocara canis and Toxascaris leonina are the most important ascaridoid nematodes of the family Toxocaridae. The present study was aimed to characterisation and analysis of genetic variation within and among T. canis and T. leonina isolates obtained from Iran by sequencing partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (pcox1) and partial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 (pnad1) genes. A total number of 134 adult nematodes belonging to Toxocaridae family were collected from stray dogs in Alborz province, Iran during 2015 and 2016. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed and products were sequenced. Sequences of two mitochondrial cox1 and nad1 genes were compared with other sequences in the GenBank, while multiple sequences alignment analysis was performed using the Bioedit and MEGA6 software and phylogenetic tree was plotted. For all isolates, amplicons of about 450 and 350 base pairs (bp) were successfully produced by PCR for cox1 and nad1, respectively. All sequences of T. canis isolates from present study were 100% homologous across the nad1 gene but not in the cox1 gene. The results indicate that the PCR method based on sequence of cox1 and nad1 genes is a suitable technique for the differentiation of T. canis and T. leonina species and that mtDNA regions could be used as genetic markers for the identification and differentiation of Toxocara species.
Computer-assisted sperm analysis and comparative diagnostic imaging of benign prostatic hyperplasia in dogs by ultrasound, X-ray and computed tomography
Authors: Genov M. , Ivanova M.
Published: July 2021

Early diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in dogs using imaging methods has become increasingly prevalent in recent years. That allows accurate differentiation of BPH from other diseases, as well as timely prophylaxis and treatment. The aim of the research was to make a comparative analysis of BPH diagnosis by ultrasound, X-ray and computed tomography (CT) and computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) of ejaculates from sexually mature male dogs. Two hundred and fifty patients of different breeds, 80 of whom with previous clinical history and BPH-related complaints at 3 to 7 years of age, were followed. The results of echographic studies of dogs with clinical signs of BPH showed structural prostate changes. Focal inflammation, small or larger intra- or paraprostatic cysts (7%), neoplasia (3%), acute or chronic prostatitis (15%) and prostate abscesses (3%) were detected. The remaining 72% of patients demonstrated evidence of hypo -to hyper heterogenic parenchyma with moderate heterogeneity, which are characteristic of BPH. X-ray findings about prostate volume showed that 85% of the patients studied had an increase in prostate volume, enlarged soft tissue shadow in the caudal abdomen or cranially to the pelvis but caudally to the bladder. These data were found out in 13% more patients than those with ultrasound data for BHP. In this study, computed tomography demonstrated structural changes and precise prostate size in all 10 patients with suspected BPH. The CASA results showed that the percentage of static sperm was significantly higher in dogs with BPH than in healthy dogs. At the same time, there was a decline in the percentage of cells with progressive movement at a rapid and medium rate of movement in patients with BPH compared to those data in healthy dogs. These changes could have a negative effect on the fertilising potential of the sperm. The obtained results suggested that the application of CT and CASA for early diagnosis of BPH in dog breeders from rare and valuable breeds is advisable and useful for timely prevention and treatment of the disease.
On the consistency of Bayes estimates for the infinite continuous mixture of Dirichlet distributions
Authors: BOUKABOUR Seloua , MASMOUDİ Afif
Published: July 2021

In this paper, we introduced the infinite continuous mixture of Dirichlet distributions as a generalization of the infinite mixture of Dirichlet ones, in order to avoid the limitation of choosing the a priori sample size for the expectation \textit{a posteriori} estimator. Monte-Carlo sampling was used in order to obtain the \textit{posterior} distributions mixture, since this mixture is difficult to get analytically. A new parametrization of this proposed distribution was achieved. Then, we suggested a mixture expectation \textit{a posteriori} estimator of the unknown parameters. The proposed estimator solves the problem of how to construct a Bayesian estimation of proportions without specifying particular parameters and sample size of the prior knowledge. Some asymptotic properties of this estimator were derived, specifically, its bias and variance. The consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimator were also established when the sample size tends to infinity and its credible interval was determined. The performance of the proposed estimator was illustrated theoretically and by means of a simulation study. Ultimately, a comparative simulation study between the learned estimates, the proposed mixture expectation \textit{a posteriori}, standard Bayesian estimator, maximum likelihood and Jeffreys estimator, was established. According to this simulation, we were able to conclude that the prior infinite mixture of Dirichlet distributions offers higher accuracy and flexibility for modeling and learning data.

Published: July 2021

The article presents the concept of reconstruction of the Fertiki unit of the biogeoecological station of the Udmurt State University (hereinafter – the Fertiki campus), formed in the process of joint work of geographers and designers. The presence of a field campus is a necessary condition for the professional skills and abilities formation of students in a number of training areas in a classical university. However, the requirements for the campuses internal space formation are changing. If one and a half to two decades ago it was enough to have a minimally equipped site on the territory that meets the basic needs in terms of the field practices and scientific research content, now the need to expand the functionality and types of activities is becoming more and more obvious. At the same time, it is proposed to put natural, cultural and historical features of the area within which the campus is located as the basis for modern design solutions. In conditions of limited funding and a general unstable financial situation, there is a need for more efficient use of the property complex of the university, including field campuses. They should not only satisfy the needs of conducting educational practices and scientific research, but become complex out-of-town (field) divisions of universities aimed at various types of activities. The proposed concept provides the reconstruction of the biogeoecological station in the direction of forming a focus point of natural and cultural landscapes of a vast territory. On the one hand, the campus must organically fit into the surrounding space, and on the other hand, it must reflect its main natural, cultural and historical features in order to get rich content. Only complexity and polyfunctionality can be stimuli and conditions for its development.

Abstract.—Snake research tends to have a low priority in Nepal and very little information, mostly confined to populationsin small areas, addresses the biology and threats to the King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah). Herein we providedata that could facilitate an assessment of the species’ status in Nepal and begin to address its conservation needs.We recorded data on King Cobras from 2015–2020, crosschecking with previous studies to avoid any duplicationof records. A King Cobra from Siddhara, Arghakhachi District, was the first record of the species in the district. Werecorded a total of 50 King Cobra mortalities from 20 districts, with most of them killed near human settlementsadjacent to forested areas. We mapped the locations of all mortalities and recorded land-use changes within a 500-mbuffer around each site over a 30-year period (1990–2020), revealing extensive landscape fragmentation in previouslyconnected natural areas. Our data suggest that the major threats to King Cobras are deliberate killing by humans andlarge-scale habitat loss due to an increasing human population. We recommend increased research to better understandthe biology of this charismatic species and continued conservation education and community outreach programs tofacilitate the development of effective conservation strategies.
Verdad y universalidad: ¿una antinomia necesaria?
Authors: Fabelo Corzo José Ramón
Published: July 2021

Entre las múltiples formas de violencia que los opresores históricamente han utilizado para imponer sulógica propia al universo humano que oprime, está la ‘violencia epistémica’. Ella se basa en el control monopólico de la ‘verdad’ y en el secuestro de la universalidad. Quienes la aplican buscan convencer a todos del carácter absoluto de sus supuestas verdades, de la universalidad cuasi-natural de sus maneras de pensar, de vivir, de organizarse socialmente. ‘Verdad’ y ‘universalidad’ se convierten en insoslayables objetos disputables entre las fuerzas conservadoras y los empujes emancipadores de los pueblos. El escenario de esta disputa alcanza hoy dimensiones globales. Lo que está en juego es la vida misma. Es obvio que, sin echar abajo las ‘verdades opresoras’ y los ‘particularismos depredadores’ vestidos de ‘universalidad’, la emancipación social no sería factible. Tampoco sería posible la conservación de la vida. El crecimiento ilimitado, la propensión permanentemente acumulativa de riquezas, la vocación hacia la maximización a toda costa de ganancias, hacen tendencialmente incompatible al capital con la vida. Es preciso desmontar las falsas verdades que han convertido en sentido común la centralidad supuestamente inevitable del mercado, que han transformado al capitalismo en el modo natural de convivencia humana. Siguiendo el método lógico-deductivo, este trabajo tiene como objetivo hablar críticamente de la verdad, pero no negando su existencia, sino intentando develar las condiciones sociales de su posibilidad, de cómo puede y debe vivir la verdad si aspira a ser libre y descolonizada en un marco social como el de nuestra América.

Model of the "biometry-code" converter based on artificial neural networks for analysis of facial thermograms
Authors:   Omsk State Technical University, Russian Federation, Lozhnikov Pavel , Zhumazhanova Samal ,   Omsk State Technical University, Russian Federation
Published: July 2021

Existing asymmetric encryption algorithms involve the storage of a secret private key, authorized access to which, as a rule, is carried out upon presentation of a password. Passwords are vulnerable to social engineering and human factors. Combining biometric security techniques with cryptography is seen as a possible solution to this problem, but any biometric cryptosystem should be able to overcome the small differences that exist between two different implementations of the same biometric parameter. This is especially true for dynamic biometrics, when differences can be caused by a change in the psychophysiological state of the subject. The solution to the problems is the use of a system based on the "biometrics-code" converter, which is configured to issue a user key after presentation of his/her biometric image. In this case, the key is generated in advance in accordance with accepted standards without the use of biometric images. The work presents results on using thermal images of a user for reliable biometric authentication based on a neural network "biometrics-code" converter. Thermal images have recently been used as a new approach in biometric identification systems and are a special type of biometric images that allow us to solve the problem of both the authentication of the subject and the identification of his psychophysiological state. The advantages of thermal imaging are that this technology is now becoming available and mobile, allowing the user to be identified and authenticated in a non-contact and continuous manner. In this paper, an experiment was conducted to verify the images of thermograms of 84 subjects and the following indicators of erroneous decisions were obtained: EER = 0.85 % for users in the "normal"state.

Authors:   Samara State Technical University, Russian Federation, Voroszheykin Vladimir , Baranov Aleksandr ,   Samara State Technical University, Russian Federation
Published: July 2021

The use of telemedicine consultations has become particularly popular and relevant in 2020 in the face of restrictive measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the use of means of communication for the transmission of medical indications began at the beginning of the XX century: the first transmission of electrocardiography signals by telephone was carried out in 1906. And in 1959, the first television consultation was held in the United States. To date, most telemedicine consultations are scheduled. Doctors submit applications and the necessary set of documents, after which the applications are considered, and the date of the consultation is set. For emergency situations, this procedure is not suitable, because the number of requests may not correspond to the system bandwidth. The paper considers the problem of using telemedicine consultations in emergency situations. Technological accidents, severe epidemics do not allow to send the victims to the city center and require. This problem is related to the solution of the following tasks: construction of a telemedicine consultation management system; development of a mathematical model for the distribution of telemedicine consultations between hospitals that significantly exceed the number of clinics; development of algorithms for optimal management (time criterion) of the execution of telemedicine consultation requests in real time; consideration of issues related to the information security of the system. As a result, an approach to the construction of a system for organizing telemedicine consultations with the use of dispatching and medical centers was proposed. The mathematical formulation of the problem is formulated. An algorithm for the distribution and operation of the system, including hospitals, dispatching and medical centers and clinics, has been developed. The algorithm uses a mathematical model that implements the problem under consideration. For the developed system, software and hardware support for information security is proposed.

Authors:   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation, Gavriliev Erchimen , Avdeenko Tatiana ,   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation
Published: July 2021

The decisive factor for the successful work of modern IT organizations is the professional qualities of the personnel and the system for its development. Staff training for software development organizations is of particular importance due to the fact that activities in this field make high demands on the level of qualifications of employees, their knowledge and skills, while they tend to quickly lose their relevance. However, there are problems in the assessment of personnel qualifications that can affect its’ objectivity and the effectiveness of further management decisions, for example: favoritism, bias, high exactingness, an erroneous standard. The purpose of the work is to develop a model for assessing the qualifications of IT specialists in the field of software development. . This study investigates personnel assessment system, types of criteria for assessing the qualifications of software developers and testers, which cover technical aspects of activities, interpersonal and mental characteristics of specialists. To assess the qualifications, a model of the conceptual theory of software development competence was selected and changed. Based on a literature review, analysis of vacancies and interviews with IT specialists, the main areas of activity of developers and testers were identified, as well as characteristics that need to be assessed. Based on the modified model, a prototype of the system was developed in the JavaScript programming language and on the Node JS software platform for collecting information, which loads data from the Atlassian Jira version control systems for further evaluation.
Socially significant activity: algorithmic provision of its quality assessment
Authors:   LLC Law firm ", Kosov Dmitriy ,   Nadezhda",   , Barnaul, Russian Federation
Published: July 2021

Any type of activity acquires social significance if it meets the requirements imposed on it. The main condition for the origin (emergence) of socially significant activity should be considered the high demand for the results of this type of professional work. The demand, especially the higher, is a complex indicator that includes not only frequency quantitative statistical characteristics (for example, the frequency of applying to any type of socially significant activity, namely to its specialists for the results of this activity that affect the processes of life activity of both an individual and society as a whole), but also characteristics that determine the quality of procedures performed at each step of the "algorithm" (technological cycle) of a specific, significant type of activity, and hence the results of its implementation. Strict compliance with the technological cycle within the framework of various socially significant professional branches of production can be considered as a guarantee of the quality of the results obtained in them, as a guarantee that consumers of products and services (the population of the state) will form a stable positive attitude to this type of activity. In the proposed article, based on many years of research, the author proposes and considers two components of an integrated approach to assessing the quality of socially significant activities – an algorithm for selecting experts to assess the quality of socially significant activities and the actual algorithm for evaluating the quality of this activity. Each of the proposed algorithms has both general steps for performing actions and individual ones, which ensure its novelty and differences from existing similar algorithmic schemes. Fuzzy logic was chosen as a mathematical tool for the implementation of these algorithms.

Published: July 2021

The article examines the problems and prospects of the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies in the selection of personnel in commercial companies in Russia. In recent years, both the number of applications and the number of scientific articles on the use of artificial intelligence technologies in personnel management processes both in our country and abroad have been growing. However, at present, there is a certain gap in the issues of evaluating the effectiveness of the use of these technologies, identifying the most promising areas for the use of artificial intelligence in the selection of personnel, and determining the factors that affect the results of such implementations in relation to Russian conditions. The survey of experts and practitioners in the field of working with artificial intelligence technologies in the field of personnel management of leading Russian companies allowed us to partially answer the relevant questions. The analysis of the respondents ' responses showed that these technologies favorably affect the selection of employees, improve the quality of selection, increase its speed, unload employees, save money resources and help eliminate bias towards candidates. The factors that increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the implementation of artificial intelligence technologies in the selection of personnel were identified: the category of selected employees, the scale of selection, and the possibility of integration with existing software. The difficulties of using artificial intelligence technologies in the selection of personnel include the presence of atypical positions for selection, the dependence of the results on the quality and volume of the training data set, and the possible reluctance of candidates to communicate with the robot. According to the results of the study, we can make a reasonable conclusion that artificial intelligence in the field of personnel selection, despite the presence of certain problems, has many advantages, as well as great prospects for development.

Published: July 2021

Background Early mobilization for inpatient acute heart failure has been applied in clinical practice, but there is no consensus on the specific timing, efficacy, and safety of its initiation. For patients with heart failure, exercise therapy when their condition has stabilized has been shown to improve quality of life and reduce readmission rates. Although scoping reviews have been reported on early mobilization after acute myocardial infarction, no systematic review of early mobilization in patients with heart failure who are older and have a higher rate of multiple disabilities and physical deterioration than those with myocardial infarction has been reported, and its definition, efficacy, and safety have not been fully clarified. In heart failure, physical functions such as grip strength and activity of daily living (ADL) have been found to be associated with distant outcomes such as readmission rates and mortality, and early mobilization for acute heart failure, initiated to prevent physical conditioning and decline in ADLs, can contribute to these outcomes. Purpose The purpose of this study is to conduct a scoping review and systematic review of early mobilization for hospitalized heart failure to clarify its current definition and to evaluate its effectiveness and safety. Method and analysis [Part 1] Scoping review of early mobilization for heart failure (clinical definition) The purpose of our scoping review is to clarify current clinical definition of early mobilization for acute heart failure. We describe this protocol that follows the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) statement. We also use the scoping review framework by The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) following five stages approach: (1) identifying the research question; (2) identifying relevant studies; (3) study selection; (4) charting the data; and (5) collating, summarizing, and reporting the results. [Part 2] Systematic review and meta-analysis of early mobilization for acute heart failure Based on the scoping review above, we will design PICO and conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the efficacy and safety of early mobilization for acute heart failure. We used a systematic review protocol template (dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.biqrkdv6). We followed the Preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis protocols (PRISMA-P) 2015 for preparing this protocol. Ethics and dissemination In this systematic review, only data from previously conducted studies will be analyzed. We will publish this systematic review in peer-reviewed journals.
A capacidade jurídica das pessoas com deficiência: uma ressignificação necessária à luz dos direitos humanos e do modelo social de deficiência
Authors: Figueiredo Ana Cláudia Mendes de
Published: July 2021

Objectives: to analyze the new paradigm of the legal capacity, established by the article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and reaffirmed by the Brazilian Law of Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities – Law nº 13.146/2015 –, as well as to identify possible obstacles of recognizing the capacity on equal terms with others. Methods: this study is qualitative, documental and bibliographic and is based on constitutional and legal norms, official documentation of the United Nations and books and articles on the subject. Results: the mapping of the obstacles that have triggered opposition in relation to the theme allowed the definition of strategies for their confrontation, which will only appear viable through the undertaking of ample efforts for the materialization of the right of persons with disabilities to exercise their capacity with no discrimination. Conclusion: the overcoming of the resistance to the innovations brought by the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and repeated on the Law nº 13.146/2015 presupposes reframing of the right considering human rights and the social model of disability. It also presupposes the engagement of the whole society in a critical process, combative and emancipatory, destined to breaking the chains brought about by oppression and usurpation that have always imprisoned and alienated — of society and of history — these persons.

Published: July 2021

Ageing is a normal biotic process, which ultimately reaches to every human being. The transitioning of young adult to older people may result as reduction of social, physiological and psychological capacities that bring social and health threats for the older population. The rich tradition of dignified ageing is exceedingly wearied away in developing countries, including Malaysia. The primary purpose of this research is to provide a snapshot of what it means to be living with chronic disease in Malaysia. This study was conducted in Klang Valley, Malaysia, due to the paucity of research in this area. The present study demonstrates the true stories of elderly associated with their physical, psychological and social experiences regarding immediate surroundings, friends, family and the society residing in Noble Care Malaysia, which is an established welfare and human services organisation, helping the deserving members of society. The qualitative research methodology is adopted, and an in-depth life history technique has been used for a deeper picture of the elderly’s memories and experience. The data is collected through five in-depth life history’s narrative of the elderly with chronic diseases. The study explains the true stories of the elderly in connection to familial neglection and abandonment for social awareness about ageing and older citizen feelings. Thus, it is imperative to keep the senior citizen self-esteem positive, along with the mental and physical activity. However, most importantly, the respect and mutual understanding between older citizen and the younger generation are getting worsen which need to be sustained harmoniously. This paper proposes some necessary measures to be addressed for graceful, proactive and gracious ageing.

Fracaso del control de legalidad en la adjudicación de contratos públicos en Colombia
Authors: Heras Montes Felipe Andrés , Mendoza Vásquez Jhonny
Published: July 2021

Con la promulgación de la Ley 80 de 1993 en Colombia, se consideró que sería la solución legal definitiva para el tema de la contratación pública, tópico de suma importancia para cualquier país, por tratarse del medio que tiene a la mano cualquier gobierno de turno para la implementación de sus políticas. El contrato público pasa a convertirse en una pieza fundamental o angular de la administración pública, sin él no se podrían ejecutar muchas de las obras que fueron trazadas en los Planes de Desarrollo. Pasados casi 20 años del nuevo siglo el problema con la legalidad acerca de los contratos se encuentra en entredicho, para muchos no ha mejorado, por el contrario, cada día se encuentran mayores dificultades al celebrar un contrato entre el Estado colombiano y los contratistas, incluso se ha prestado para motivar la corrupción en este país. Es esta situación la que conduce a preguntarse en que se está fallando para que la adjudicación de contratos presente tantos  problemas.

En Colombia, los servicios públicos domiciliarios pasan a ser considerados como fines sociales del Estado, asociados a la calidad de vida de los ciudadanos. Además, se consideran un presupuesto para la vigencia y respeto de los derechos fundamentales, y base esencial del desarrollo y competitividad del país. Todas las acciones realizadas por el Estado buscan dar solución a las necesidades de todos los habitantes del territorio, puntualmente en lo referente a los servicios públicos domiciliarios, los cuales son indispensables y fundamentales. Con ocasión a esto, los recursos que pueden interponerse dentro de un proceso, hacen parte del derecho de defensa del usuario de servicios públicos; es así como el recurso de reposición, es usado cuando no está de acuerdo con la decisión que emite la entidad prestadora del servicio, y su principal fin es proteger los derechos que se vieron afectados; dando paso al usuario para que pueda interponer dicho mecanismo ante la entidad que expidió la resolución, con el fin de que se aclare, la modifique o revoque.

La Sentencia T-921 de 2013 de la Corte Constitucional introduce el cambio de sitio de reclusión a territorio indígena como una forma de garantizar la identidad cultural, así como la autonomía y el ejercicio del derecho propio de estas comunidades. La presente investigación se llevó a cabo en algunos centros de armonización indígenas y muestra cómo en estos es posible alcanzar una resocialización como fin de la pena. De otro lado, evidencia que la resocialización es apenas una aspiración utópica en los centros de reclusión de la cultura mayoritaria, pese a los pronunciamientos de estado de cosas inconstitucional en las cárceles colombianas, como en la Sentencia T-153 de 1998 de la Corte Constitucional.

El propósito de este artículo es sintetizar un examen crítico sobre la relación del discurso jurídico del modelo de desarrollo, las políticas nacionales sobre inversión extranjera directa y la gobernabilidad minera con las reivindicaciones de las comunidades étnicas colombianas, en especial las comunidades indígenas. Para ello, mencionaremos la literatura latinoamericana que ha impulsado una aproximación crítica al modelo de desarrollo promovido por los Estados del Norte global y las agencias multilaterales que estos presiden. Posteriormente, haremos un breve recuento histórico de la correlación entre la extracción minera extranjera y el esquema jurídico occidental que hemos heredado y acogido, que se asienta como antecedente y telón de fondo de un contexto jurídico que refleja la ineficacia de la consulta previa para alcanzar un verdadero diálogo intercultural. En este sentido, demostraremos que la jurisprudencia de la Corte Constitucional en torno a este mecanismo ha defendido un régimen de verdad oficial, acorde con la metáfora de éxito del desarrollo económico y, de esta manera, ha desconocido el saber-poder situado y periférico de las comunidades indígenas, afrodescendientes y campesinas en Colombia. Proceder que ha significado la ausencia de una reflexión seria sobre la interculturalidad legal (o interlegalidad) crítica.

Before 2014, Peru had never been a common destination country for migrants and refugees. However, the exodus of people coming from Venezuela would lead the country to become the second in the world to receive this population in absolute numbers, with 830 000 as of July 2020 (Bahar et al., 2020, p. 9).Although at the beginning the State decided to adopt an open-door policy regarding the entry and permanence of Venezuelans, since mid-2018 migration control has become more restrictive. This situation has become even more adverse for them since the beginning of the pandemic of COVID-19, as they have had to go through situations of discrimination, despite its condition of especial vulnerability.Given this scenario, this article will examine certain actions and omissions carried out by the State, which reveal violations of human rights of these people, fostered by a public opinion of rejection towards them. Finally, the importance of developing citizen awareness actions questioning these perceptions and encouraging social inclusion will also be analyzed.

Background: Oral ulcers are the most frequent lesions that cause discomfort for which the patients seek treatment for alleviating pain and facilitate early healing. Various treatment modalities from modern medicine and Ayurveda are used in the form of ointments and mouthwashes with varying efficacy. Anti-inflammatory medicines, enzymatic preparations, gamma globulins and immune suppressants have been used.Methods: Extracts of five chosen herbs, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Acacia catechu, Punica Granatum, Curcuma longa and Mentha piperita were used for preparing mucoadhesive gel for the treatment of oral aphthous ulcers of any etiology. Gel was prepared by cold method of Schmolka at M/s Pharmanza Herbals Pvt. Ltd., India. Five formulations were prepared with using different concentration of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) extracts.Results: Formulations were analyzed for different physical and chemical properties. Preliminary trial was done with five formulations. The F5 formulation has the premier viscosity because of its higher polymer content; it is able to remain on mucous surface long enough to release its API effect. Since the uniformity, proper appearance, stability and acceptable viscosity and gel strength the F1 formulation was selected as the superior formulation which could prove ideal for treatment of oral aphthous ulcers.Conclusions: The results provide strong evidence that polyherbal gel containing extracts of Glycyrrhiza glabra, Acacia catechu, Punica granatum, Curcuma longa and Mentha piperita on the basis of their analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, wound healing, antimicrobial and local anesthetic properties can be used as an effective and safe alternative for the management of aphthous ulcers.
Obstetric hysterectomy: a surgical emergency 3 years review in a tertiary care centre
Authors: Sah Shanti , Gupta Shipra
Published: July 2021

Background: Obstetric haemorrhage is a life threatening complication associated with increased maternal morbidity and mortality. Its incidence is 0.2-4 per 1000 deliveries in developed countries and much higher in developing countries. The main cause still remains rupture uterus, postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and placenta accreta spectrum (PAS).Methods: A retrospective analysis of obstetric hysterectomies performed over a period of 3 years from July 2017 to June 2020 was done. Incidence, risk factors, indication, outcome and complications of obstetric hysterectomies were evaluated.Results: A total 72 cases of obstetric hysterectomy were performed over 3 years period. Out of 72 cases, 33%, 28% and 14% cases were of peripartum hysterectomy done due to rupture uterus, PAS and PPH respectively. There was an increase in the incidence of PAS compared to previous years. There was no observed difference among patients undergoing total or subtotal hysterectomies. No difference as regard to duration of surgery, pre-operative or post-operative hemoglobin, IV fluid and blood product transfusion was noted among elective and emergency procedures. Statistically significant blood loss was observed in emergency hysterectomy compared to elective hysterectomy with p value of 0.004. An average need of transfusions was double in case of peripartum hysterectomy done for PPH compared to rupture uterus or adherent placenta. Bladder injury, burst abdomen and resuturing were three important morbidities. Maternal mortality was 2.8% in our study population.Conclusions: Emergency obstetric hysterectomy still remains a live saving procedure in case of catastrophic intractable hemorrhage and rupture uterus. Proper antenatal supervision, identification of risk factors and timely referral can reduce the incidence of associated morbidity and mortality.
