Crecimiento urbano disperso en la ciudad intermedia y su incidencia en el espacio público. Caso de estudio en Loja - Ecuador
Authors: Burneo-Villavicencio Miguel , Ordóñez-León Andrea
Published: October 2023

INTRODUCTION Urban growth in intermediate Latin American cities has given way to low-density, discontinuous peripheries. This uneven development negatively impacts the urban environment and quality of life. In this context, public spaces do not fulfill their structural function, they fail to generate connections between soil uses, recreation areas, and social exchange. OBJECTIVE This study proposes to fill a gap in existing research by focusing on the incidence of dispersed urban growth specifically in public space through the study case analysis. METHODOLOGY Using a descriptive and qualitative approach, dispersed urban growth is analyzed multidimensionally and the networks of public spaces are evacuated in terms of form, accessibility, uses, sociability, and identification. RESULTS The study area presents low and very low densities in about 70% of its area, soil and 30% of the area presents a continuity of the fabric and 76% of the area is intended for land use in this way it is evident that urban growth dispersion focuses on problems of connectivity, fragmentation, segregation, the marginalization that limit access to public space. DISCUSIÓN AND CONCLUSIONS The low density and limited diversity of users, erode social and economic dynamics, in this sense, the public space of the periphery limits its function to a minimum which deteriorates it further instead of contributing to urban quality.

Actualización del tratamiento de la glomerulonefritis membranosa primaria
Authors: Pozo Guzmán Leslie Carolina , Bueno Castro Andrés Santiago
Published: October 2023

Introducción:  la nefropatía membranosa (MN) representa un trastorno glomerular caracterizado por el engrosamiento de las paredes capilares debido a inmunocomplejos. Esta afección prevalece como la causa principal del síndrome nefrótico en adultos no diabéticos mayores de 40 años, aunque también afecta a niños con menor frecuencia. La incidencia estimada varía geográficamente, pero permanece limitada por la falta de estudios representativos. Aunque mayormente autoinmune y relacionada con anticuerpos anti-PLA2R, el tratamiento aborda nuevas terapias y descubrimientos de anticuerpos emergentes. Metodología: se realizará una revisión bibliográfica para recopilar y analizar estudios relevantes sobre el tratamiento de la glomerulonefritis membranosa primaria, utilizando criterios de inclusión específicos. Se excluyeron artículos no pertinentes y la búsqueda abarcó bases de datos como PubMed, Web of Science y ProQuest, empleando términos de búsqueda y operadores booleanos. Discusión: diversos estudios sobre el tratamiento de la glomerulonefritis membranosa primaria revelan enfoques variables. La ciclofosfamida aceleró la recuperación en un estudio, mientras que la prednisona y el rituximab tuvieron resultados limitados. La cantidad de proteinuria resultó clave para preservar la función renal. La terapia inmunosupresora fue más efectiva que la no inmunosupresora en general. La detección de altos niveles de anticuerpos anti-PLA2R indicó mala respuesta al tacrolimus. La disfunción tiroidea y el rituximab afectaron los resultados. La terapia guiada por anticuerpos mostró altas tasas de remisión. La aspirina o warfarina profilácticas pueden ser beneficiosas en pacientes con baja albúmina sérica. Conclusión: El tratamiento de la nefropatía membranosa idiopática es complejo. Rituximab y terapia guiada por anticuerpos son efectivos, pero la elección depende de factores como edad, anticuerpos, función tiroidea y otros. Se necesita un enfoque personalizado para mejorar la remisión y calidad de vida del paciente. Área de estudio general: Medicina. Área de estudio específica: Nefrología. Tipo de estudio: Revisión Bibliográfica.

Gender differences in multiple-choice questions and the risk of losing points
Authors: Riukula Krista
Published: October 2023

I study the gender differences in performance in multiple-choice questions in a setting where wrong answers are penalized and the objective is to score as high points as possible. I exploit data from an undergraduate level microeconomics course at a Finnish university across a six-year period of 2010 and 2012-2016. The course consists of two equally weighted exams that include both multiple-choice and open-ended questions. The results show that, when controlling for the performance in the first exam, women omit more multiple-choice question items (MCQ) in the second exam than men which, in turn, translates to fewer points. Women do not do worse in open-ended questions that are similar to the MCQ, neither is the probability of them answering incorrectly to the MCQ higher. Hence, gender differences in test results might reflect differences in behavior in a very particular test setting rather than genuine differences in skills.

Kapasitas Total Antioksidan dan Uji Toksisitas Ekstrak Daun Binahong (Anredera cordifolia (Ten.) Steenis)
Authors: Rebecca Rebecca , Hendrawan Siufui
Published: October 2023

Oxidative stress is an imbalance between the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and antioxidants in the body. One plant that contains antioxidants is binahong leaves (Anredera cordifolia (Ten.) Steenis). To determine the compound content contained in binahong leaves, a total antioxidant capacity test and toxicity test were carried out on binahong leaves. This research used an in-vitro experimental study consisting of an antioxidant capacity test with DPPH (1.1-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil) and a bioassay, namely a toxicity test with the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) from binahong leaf extract. Extraction of binahong leaves is carried out using the maceration method using methanol solvent and then evaporated to obtain the extract. The total antioxidant capacity test was carried out using the Blois method, the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) toxicity test using the Meyer method. In the antioxidant capacity test, the IC50 value was 284.199 μg/mL, which means that the antioxidant capacity of binahong leaf extract is relatively low. In the toxicity test, the LC50 was obtained at 302.25 μg/mL, which means that binahong leaf extract has a level of toxicity against (Artemia salina L.) shrimp larvae. So it can be concluded that binahong leaf extract has relatively low antioxidant capacity and has toxic properties which are thought to have antimitotic properties.

Authors: Zubalii A. M. , Guseva M. M.
Published: October 2023

Under the conditions of captivity, adequate and balanced feeding becomes a determining factor in the safety of musk deer, contributing to maintaining the health of animals and their reproductive functions and increasing the productivity of deer musk. In this work, the nutrition patterns of Siberian musk deer in the winter period are established. The animals are kept in the nursery of the Altai Branch of the Scientific Center of Biomedical Technologies of FMBA of Russia. The most preferred feed types in the winter diet were found to include (on average, g/head per day): wood lichens Usnea spp. — 290; Betula spp. — 70; Urtica spp. — 80; oatmeal — 70). The nutritional indicators of the identified feed objects were determined. The content of metabolizable energy and nutrients in the daily diet consumed by musk deer was calculated. Thus, one individual consumes 520 g of natural moisture feed or 453 g of dry matter, which contains 3.57 MJ of metabolizable energy per day. The obtained data form a scientific basis for developing feeding diets for captive musk deer.

In this work, we set out to characterize the liposomal form of a new original product based on the preputial gland extract of Siberian musk deer whose composition was modified by an inclusion complex with β-cy- clodextrin. Musk deer liposomes were obtained by an efficient and scalable high-pressure homogenization method. The resulting liposomal product was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, preparative and analytical chromatography, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A specification for the liposomal form of Siberian musk deer extract was developed, which includes all critical indicators of product quality. Homogeneous dispersions of musk deer liposomes with a uniform size distribution were obtained, with the distribution maxima observed at 50 and 240 nm. The high physicochemical stability of the liposomal dispersion was established with the zeta potential value of the obtained nanoparticles ranging from –5 to –35 mV. According to size-exclusion chromatography and mass spectrometry, the incorporation of deer musk target components into liposomes reached 58–75% for musk liposomes in terms of steroid components and total protein. The revealed quality indicators of the studied liposomal product indicate the possibility of obtaining highly effective products based on the liposomal form of musk deer extract, modified with cyclodextrin, as an adaptogen of natural origin with an enhanced and pronounced activity in laboratory performance tests.

Melanoma is a malignant tumor that can rapidly develop resistance to treatment because of its high mutational activity. The introduction of tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitors (BRAF, MEK) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen/receptor inhibitors (CTLA4, PD-1) into clinical practice has led to an increase in patient survival rates. In in vitro studies, combining PIK3 and MEK inhibitors demonstrate a pronounced reduction in tumor cell growth. The phenomenon of synthetic lethality is also promising, allowing the high mutational load of melanoma to be used as a tool for the development of more effective drugs.
Pharmaco-EEG Analysis of the Effect of Acetylcholin and Insulin in Nanoparticles on the Hippocampus of Cats
Authors: Fokin Yu. V. , Kharitonov S. Yu. , Taboyakova L. A. , Karkischenko N. N.
Published: October 2023

The central mechanisms of acetylcholine and insulin in nanoparticles via transpalatinal administration to cats were studied using a neuroimaging algorithm, including a software-supported pharmaco-EEG analysis of graphic functions of normalized electrograms. The studied substances were found to exhibit a predominantly depressing action, which begins in the first hours after administration. Liposomal forms of acetylcholine and insulin penetrate the blood-brain barrier and modulate the intracentral relations of the brain, reflected in high-frequency rhythms (mainly γ-rhythms) of the hippocampal region of the brain and associated with the activity of intercalary neurons and pyramidal cells. The substances under study appear to be promising for the prevention and treatment of neuropathies caused, e.g., by geriatric dysfunctions of the cholinergic and insulin signaling systems, as well as for improving memory consolidation and cognitive functions.

Authors: Shustov E. B. , Kim A. E.
Published: October 2023

A new derivative of dimethylaminoethanol, butanedioic and trans-butenedioic acids (laboratory code ADK-17) was synthesized at the Department of Organic Chemistry (Professor I.P. Yakovlev is the Head of the Department) of St. Petersburg State Chemical and Pharmaceutical University (SPCPU). This is a promising compound planned for use as an oral dosage form. In this work, we aim to evaluate manifestations of the general and specific toxicity of the new drug. Laboratory animals (white mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs) were used as test systems for the preclinical safety study of the new compound. Manifestations of general toxicity (acute and chronic), local irritant action, allergenic properties, immunotoxic action were studied. The reproductive toxicity of the ADK-17 drug when administered intragastrically was studied. The studied drug was found to exhibit low toxicity, cause no changes in the biochemical and morphological parameters of rats and rabbits under the conditions of course use, and have no negative effects on internal organs. When administered intragastrically in maximum doses, the drug causes no irritating effects. The use of the drug did not lead to the development of a local allergic reaction of an immediate type. Carrying out sensitization in the DTH reaction showed the absence of a sensitizing effect. The study of the immunotoxic effect of the ADK-17 drug showed that its prolonged intragastric administration for 30 days at doses of 93 and 930 mg/kg did not lead to a violation of the humoral immune response and a decrease in antibody production. Setting a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction also confirms that the drug does not affect the development of cellular immunity. The conducted experimental studies of the drug’s reproductive toxicity in rats showed that its repeated intragastric administration at doses of 50 and 250 mg/kg to pregnant females did not have a negative effect on the reproductive system of laboratory animals, embryo- and fetotoxic, as well as teratogenic effects, having no effect on the antenatal and postnatal development of offspring.

Published: October 2023

The sexual harassment of adolescents is a heterogeneous phenomenon; however, some aspects of the perpetrators of these crimes appear obscure or little - known. This study aims to investigate the emotional and relational skills of a sex offender through the critical analysis of his psychological path. The sex offender is a middle - aged man accused of sexual acts with minors. The patient has socio - relational deficits as well as immaturity in the sexual–affective sphere, which make him vulnerable. During the clinical path, he was very tired and felt the weight of what he was caring for. The patient should carry out training aimed at restructuring his cognitive distortions, working on the aspects concerning relationships. This case study highlights how necessary investments are in policies that allow sex offenders to try to improve their conditions as well as allowing social inclusion free from prejudices and stigmatizations. It will ultimately reduce the risk of recidivism.
The Influence of Parenting Styles on Adolescent Development
Authors: BOSCA Daniela Maria , COJOCARU Daniela
Published: October 2023

If we talk about parenting, it can be said that there is a great diversity among families, due to the fact that cultural aspects have a major impact on how children are raised. Several researchers have analysed over time the relationship between parenting styles and various developmental disorders of adolescents, but also the relationship between parenting styles and children’s school results were considered. Many of these researches drew attention to the fact that there are consequences that affect public health, namely the health status of adolescents (Lahey, 2009). A large part of the research looks at the four parenting styles described by Carlson, Laczniak Wertley (2011) based on the research of Baumrind (1991). They created a matrix with 2 x 2 axis, in which permissiveness and restrictiveness are on the vertical axis, and warmth and hostility on the horizontal axis. Between these two axes are located the four parenting styles: authoritarian, authoritative or democratic, indulgent or permissive and neglectful. This article analyses the characteristics of the four parenting styles and how they influence the child’s development. Parental control, children’s responsibility, parental warmth, parental responsiveness are just some of the factors that have been examined in relation to the development of children’s autonomy in general and in adolescent’s autonomy in particular, school results, socialization, including social behaviour of adolescents as well as consumers in the marketplace.
Effects of Family Socioeconomic Status and Educational Resources on Children’s Cognitive Ability Performance Based on Preschool Education Perspectives
Authors: SHEN Qianqian , TSAI Peihua
Published: October 2023

Under the effects of rapid changes in current social environment and family, family structure gradually changes from past extended family and stem family to nuclear family for matching modern social environment. Preschool children’s learning is affected by school education as well as family education. When different family socioeconomic status would affect children’s cognitive ability to form the stratification of cognitive ability development, such a phenomenon is growing apart from the philosophy of equality of educational opportunity. Aiming at parents of children in preschool education units in china, as the research objects, total 360 copies of questionnaire are distributed, and 237 valid copies are retrieved, with the retrieval rate 66%. The research results are summarized as below. 1. Children with higher family socioeconomic status present better cognitive ability, explaining the actual effect of family socioeconomic status on current children’s cognitive ability to form educational stratification as well as unequal opportunity for preschool education. 2. The higher family socioeconomic status shows the richer family educational resources. It is therefore inferred that children with higher family socioeconomic status reveal better cognitive ability, possibly because of richer family educational resources allowing children receiving more cultural, social, or financial capital stimulation to enhance more cognitive ability. According to the result to proposed suggestions, it is expected to enhance domestic ideal of equality of preschool educational opportunity, allow domestic education parallel to various advanced countries, and achieve the responsibility for cultivating quality citizen in the future.
Um Modelo de distribuição de renda e inflação por conflito entre salários, lucro e renda de monopólio de serviços monitorados
Authors: Haluska Guilherme , Summa Ricardo , Maccari Lara Fernando
Published: October 2023

O presente artigo apresenta um modelo de inflação e distribuição baseado na abordagem da inflação de custos e do conflito distributivo entre trabalhadores e capitalistas. A contribuição mais específica está em considerar conjuntamente os efeitos da barganha por salários nominais, da política monetária e da política de preços administrados pelo governo tanto sobre a inflação quanto sobre a distribuição funcional da renda, admitindo a existência de lucros de monopólio no setor produtor de bens monitorados e a possibilidade de as taxas de lucro não serem homogêneas entre os setores produtores de bens monitorados e os demais setores. Concluímos que é necessário levar em consideração que o conjunto de políticas citadas tem impacto não apenas sobre a inflação, mas também sobre a distribuição. Além disso, constatamos que uma mesma taxa de inflação pode ser compatível com diferentes resultados distributivos, a depender da combinação de políticas adotadas.

Silicate perovskite, with the mineral name bridgmanite, is the most abundant mineral in the Earth’s lower mantle. We investigated crystal structures and equations of state of two perovskite-type Fe3+-rich phases, FeMg0.5Si0.5O3 and Fe0.5Mg0.5Al0.5Si0.5O3, at high pressures, employing single-crystal X-ray diffraction and synchrotron Mössbauer spectroscopy. We solved their crystal structures at high pressures and found that the FeMg0.5Si0.5O3 phase adopts a novel monoclinic double-perovskite structure with the space group of P21/n at pressures above 12 GPa, whereas the Fe0.5Mg0.5Al0.5Si0.5O3 phase adopts an orthorhombic perovskite structure with the space group of Pnma at pressures above 8 GPa. The pressure induces an iron spin transition for Fe3+ in a (Fe0.7,Mg0.3)O6 octahedral site of the FeMg0.5Si0.5O3 phase at pressures higher than 40 GPa. No iron spin transition was observed for the Fe0.5Mg0.5Al0.5Si0.5O3 phase as all Fe3+ ions are located in bicapped prism sites, which have larger volumes than an octahedral site of (Al0.5,Si0.5)O6.

Introduction

Changes in coronary artery luminal dimensions during the cardiac cycle can impact the accurate quantification of volumetric analyses in intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) image studies. Accurate ED-frame detection is pivotal for guiding interventional decisions, optimizing therapeutic interventions, and ensuring standardized volumetric analysis in research studies. Images acquired at different phases of the cardiac cycle may also lead to inaccurate quantification of atheroma volume due to the longitudinal motion of the catheter in relation to the vessel. As IVUS images are acquired throughout the cardiac cycle, end-diastolic frames are typically identified retrospectively by human analysts to minimize motion artefacts and enable more accurate and reproducible volumetric analysis.

Methods

In this paper, a novel neural network-based approach for accurate end-diastolic frame detection in IVUS sequences is proposed, trained using electrocardiogram (ECG) signals acquired synchronously during IVUS acquisition. The framework integrates dedicated motion encoders and a bidirectional attention recurrent network (BARNet) with a temporal difference encoder to extract frame-by-frame motion features corresponding to the phases of the cardiac cycle. In addition, a spatiotemporal rotation encoder is included to capture the IVUS catheter's rotational movement with respect to the coronary artery.

Results

With a prediction tolerance range of 66.7 ms, the proposed approach was able to find 71.9%, 67.8%, and 69.9% of end-diastolic frames in the left anterior descending, left circumflex and right coronary arteries, respectively, when tested against ECG estimations. When the result was compared with two expert analysts’ estimation, the approach achieved a superior performance.

Discussion

These findings indicate that the developed methodology is accurate and fully reproducible and therefore it should be preferred over experts for end-diastolic frame detection in IVUS sequences.

Since 2000, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) has acquired infrared images of the Earth’s surface daily. These data have made it possible to measure the thermal energy radiated by the world’s most famous volcanoes and also to discover and track eruptions in remote and poorly monitored regions. In this work, we present the database of Volcanic Radiative Power (VRP, in W) time series, recorded by the MIROVA (Middle Infrared Observation of Volcanic Activity) system over 2 decades of MODIS observations (2000–2019) at 111 active volcanoes. The database reveals that globally, the number of thermally active volcanoes each year varies between 60 and 80, almost equally partitioned between volcanoes with a basic (50%) and intermediate (45%) composition, while only 5% is represented by volcanoes erupting acidic lavas. Within the investigated period, the global-scale heat flux was almost stationary, and occasionally punctuated by peaks associated with the largest effusive eruptions (e.g., Bardarbunga and Kilauea). The Volcanic Radiative Energy (VRE, in J) emitted by basic volcanoes (∼1.8 × 1018 J) in 20 years constitutes 91% of the total, while intermediates and acids contribute only 8% (∼1.8 × 1017 J) and 1% (∼1.7 × 1016 J), respectively. A comparison with the volume of lava erupted effusively by the same volcanoes reveals that this difference is attributed to the lower efficiency in radiating thermal energy of increasingly acidic (viscous) lava bodies. Each compositional group is associated with a specific relationship between VRE and erupted volume which characterises most of the effusive volcanoes. On the other hand, some open-vent volcanoes reveal that much more heat is released than that theoretically radiated by the erupted lava. This imbalance (hereby called excess radiation) is attributed to an additional heat source, likely associated with an underlying convective magma column and/or to outgassing through a permeable conduit. We are convinced that the database presented in this work will be useful to support new emerging studies on global-scale volcanism and will contribute to a better understanding of each volcanic system.
A seamless approach for evaluating climate models across spatial scales

In regions of the world where topography varies significantly with distance, most global climate models (GCMs) have spatial resolutions that are too coarse to accurately simulate key meteorological variables that are influenced by topography, such as clouds, precipitation, and surface temperatures. One approach to tackle this challenge is to run climate models of sufficiently high resolution in those topographically complex regions such as the North American Regionally Refined Model (NARRM) subset of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Energy Exascale Earth System Model version 2 (E3SM v2). Although high-resolution simulations are expected to provide unprecedented details of atmospheric processes, running models at such high resolutions remains computationally expensive compared to lower-resolution models such as the E3SM Low Resolution (LR). Moreover, because regionally refined and high-resolution GCMs are relatively new, there are a limited number of observational datasets and frameworks available for evaluating climate models with regionally varying spatial resolutions. As such, we developed a new framework to quantify the added value of high spatial resolution in simulating precipitation over the contiguous United States (CONUS). To determine its viability, we applied the framework to two model simulations and an observational dataset. We first remapped all the data into Hierarchical Equal-Area Iso-Latitude Pixelization (HEALPix) pixels. HEALPix offers several mathematical properties that enable seamless evaluation of climate models across different spatial resolutions including its equal-area and partitioning properties. The remapped HEALPix-based data are used to show how the spatial variability of both observed and simulated precipitation changes with resolution increases. This study provides valuable insights into the requirements for achieving accurate simulations of precipitation patterns over the CONUS. It highlights the importance of allocating sufficient computational resources to run climate models at higher temporal and spatial resolutions to capture spatial patterns effectively. Furthermore, the study demonstrates the effectiveness of the HEALPix framework in evaluating precipitation simulations across different spatial resolutions. This framework offers a viable approach for comparing observed and simulated data when dealing with datasets of varying spatial resolutions. By employing this framework, researchers can extend its usage to other climate variables, datasets, and disciplines that require comparing datasets with different spatial resolutions.
