Paracas y Chavín: variaciones sobre un tema longevo
Authors: Kaulicke Peter
Published: May 2023

En este trabajo, se presenta y se discute los diferentes enfoques interpretativos relacionados con las tempranas evidencias de cultura material en la costa sur, y sus comparaciones con aquellas del norte desde la formulación original de Tello. Estas propuestas llevaron a hipótesis variadas y, a menudo, poco convincentes, debido a problemas de terminología y de metodología. A ello se suma la escasa e incompleta presentación de contextos respectivos recuperados en excavaciones. Se enfatiza los resultados de trabajos recientes en el Río Grande de Nazca, con el afán de ajustar las cronologías regionales, así como el carácter de transiciones y la formación de esferas de interacción más amplias.
Investigaciones arqueológicas en Catalina Huanca, un asentamiento de la sociedad Lima del Horizonte Medio
Authors: Maquera Erik , Esteban Milagros
Published: May 2023

Se presenta una introducción del sitio Catalina Huanca así como los resultados de las investigaciones realizadas en los Montículos 6 y 7 durante los años 2006-2008. Tales intervenciones nos han permitido identicar el desarrollo de procesos políticos locales. Así, alrededor del año 550 d.C., la sociedad Lima inicia la construcción planicada de un extenso centro público en el valle medio del Rímac, el cual implicó una enorme inversión de trabajo y organización. El análisis de la secuencia arquitectónica del Montículo 7 nos indica que durante un trascurso de 150 años, los edicios del asentamiento fueron renovados continuamente, reproduciendo las plantas arquitectónicas originales y por lo tanto los mismos principios que sustentaban la ideología del poder local. Luego, hacia los años 700-750 d.C. los edicios son sepultados y abandonados tras eventos de sacricios humanos, después de lo cual se registran gruesos estratos de limo.A partir del 750 d.C. uno de los montículos del asentamiento (Montículo 6) es reutilizado como cementerio de una población cuya cultura material se encuentra asociada al fenómeno wari.
Identification of Acrossocheilus fasciatus (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) from Three Different Phylogeographic Sources using Morphology and COI DNA Barcoding
Authors: Zhang Haixia , Hu Chang , Duan Wenli , Wang Luzhou , Chu Zhangjie
Published: May 2023

Background: Accurate species delimitation is essential for phylogenetic, phylogeographic, ecological, conservation and biogeographic investigations. Acrossocheilus species classification has long been contentious, owing to their uncertain evolutionary relationships, high levels of morphological homoplasy and a lack of knowledge of the taxonomic validity of conventionally utilized morphological characters. Methods: A final data set consisting of 102 mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene sequences was analysed for K2P intraspecific and interspecific divergence in the current study, using reconstruction methods (maximum likelihood) and various models (ABGD, PTP, GMYC) to divide the sequences according to the pattern of genetic variation. We used landmark-based geometric morphometrics to identify specimens. Result: Two taxa were identified according to the phylogenetic tree (maximum likelihood method) and three different models (ABGD, PTP, GMYC). The molecular taxonomy of Acrossocheilus agreed with the morphological identification of specimens from the same collection locality. Therefore, the COI gene and geometric morphometrics were effective in species identification of A. fasciatus.
Clinicians’ Views on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy: A Mixed Method Systematic Review
Authors: Hammond Michaela , Ryan Christian , Garvey Alison , Dwyer Aoife
Published: May 2023

This mixed methods systematic review aimed to provide insight into the clinicians’ views and experiences of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Seven electronic databases (PsychINFO, Public MEDLINE [PubMed], Cumulated Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature [CINAHL], Scopus, Web of Science and Excerpta Medica Database [EMBASE], and Applied Social Sciences Index) and grey literature (ProQuest and Google Scholar) were searched systematically from inception to October 2021. Quality was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool and a convergent integrated approach was used to synthesize and integrate the data. In total, 14 studies were included: 7 qualitative, 5 mixed methods, and 2 quantitative, encompassing 1,065 participants. Thematic synthesis generated two overarching themes and seven subthemes. The first theme related to the facilitators and barriers clinicians experience in adopting and implementing EMDR, including the role of organizational support, clinician confidence, primary theoretical orientation, and client suitability and preparedness. The second theme related to the perceived advantages of EMDR, including rapid results and positive outcomes, client empowerment, and getting to the root of the issue. This review provides a helpful insight into the factors that influence the dissemination and implementation of psychological therapeutic approaches.
Research on Low-Intensity Flash Technique Trauma Intervention by Prelicensed Student Clinicians
Authors: Gustavson Kristen , Wong Sik-Lam , Le Diep
Published: May 2023

There are not enough psychotherapists to offer individual trauma intervention to the tens of millions of people traumatized around the world. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a proven trauma treatment but requires substantial time and financial resources for training. One solution may be low-intensity intervention with the flash technique (FT) offered one-on-one online and based on highly scripted instructions in which participants can work on their distressing memories independently. The FT is a protocol that was originally developed for the preparation phase of EMDR and only requires a few hours of training. In this study, we aim to explore whether a scripted FT protocol used by inexperienced student clinicians might be effective. Nine master-level social work students, trained in FT and under licensed supervision, offered individual FT treatment online using a scripted protocol. Participants were admitted to the study with an Impact of Event Scale—Revised (IES-R) score of >24. Pre- and posttreatment surveys were collected from 30 participants who each received 6 sessions of individual therapy. No follow-up study data was collected. The IES-R data dropped from a pretreatment mean of 45.97 (SD= 14.5, 95% CI = [40.78, 51.16]) to posttreatment mean of 25.33 (SD= 14.92, 95% CI = [19.99, 30.67]), with ap-value of <.00001 and a Cohen’sd= 1.4, showed a large effect size. Interpretation of the study results is limited due to a lack of a control group and a relatively small sample size (n= 30). Furthermore, since we did not follow participants posttreatment, the impact of the intervention over time is unknown for this study. Even so, the data suggested that the scripted FT protocol might be usable even by inexperienced student clinicians, paving the way for its use as a low-intensity trauma intervention.

Published: May 2023

Depuis 2007, des professionnels de santé mentale en Afrique sub-saharienne ont été formés à la thérapie de désensibilisation et de retraitement par les mouvements oculaires (EMDR). Cette étude qualitative a recouru à un dispositif afrocentré avec analyse thématique pour explorer les adaptations apportées au protocole standard EMDR, visant à le rendre culturellement pertinent pour des patients africains. Les participants étaient 25 thérapeutes EMDR (dont trois hommes, tranche d’âge 32-60 ans,x¯= 44) de cinq pays africains, qui pratiquaient l’EMDR depuis 1 à 11 ans (x¯= 7). Tous ont répondu à un questionnaire d’enquête, huit ont participé à une discussion de groupe, et deux ont fourni une analyse de notes de supervision. Les participants estimaient que l’EMDR était une thérapie utile et bénéfique et la préféraient aux autres thérapies en raison de sa nature non narrative et de ses résultats rapides. Nous avons identifié quatre domaines dans lesquels les thérapeutes africains ont régulièrement adapté le protocole standard : la formulation du texte du protocole, l’expression culturelle des pensées et des émotions, le choix des stimulations et la simplification des échelles quantitatives. Sur la base des résultats de cette étude, nous formulons de nombreuses recommandations pour des adaptations culturelles du protocole EMDR. Celles-ci comprennent des changements de langage pour prendre en compte la communication « orientée vers le nous » des patients ; des interprétations culturelles des pensées et des événements positifs et négatifs ; l’ajout d’activités culturelles telles que la danse, la musique et les pratiques religieuses comme exercices de ressourcement ; l’utilisation de gestes des mains ou de l’échelle picturale avec des visages au lieu d’échelles numériques ; et l’utilisation de tapotements pour les stimulations bilatérales au lieu de mouvements oculaires, parfois considérés comme de la « sorcellerie ». Nous abordons la pertinence de ces résultats pour la pratique et la formation EMDR. Nous recommandons aux chercheurs africains d’étudier plus avant l’acceptabilité, l’utilisation et l’efficacité de l’EMDR dans leur pays.
Sexual Orientation Intrusive Thoughts and Well-Being: The Mediating Role of Psychological Inflexibility
Authors: Petersen Julie M. , Twohig Michael P.
Published: May 2023

Sexual orientation intrusive thoughts are a debilitating form of obsessive-compulsive disorder. The present study aimed to elucidate how psychological inflexibility and dysfunctional beliefs may impact the relationships of sexual orientation intrusive thoughts and obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms with well-being. A total of 181 undergraduate students completed measures of sexual orientation intrusive thoughts, OC symptoms, psychological inflexibility, dysfunctional beliefs, and well-being. Results indicated positive correlations between psychological inflexibility, sexual orientation intrusive thoughts, dysfunctional beliefs, and OC symptoms, along with negative correlations between well-being and sexual orientation intrusive thoughts, OC symptoms, dysfunctional beliefs, and psychological inflexibility. Psychological inflexibility acted as a mediator between sexual orientation intrusive thoughts and well-being and between OC symptoms and well-being. Dysfunctional beliefs were not a significant mediator. These results suggest that psychological inflexibility may partially explain the association between OC symptoms and well-being, pointing toward the need for future research on the impact of psychological inflexibility on well-being in the context of OC symptoms.

Published: May 2023

Multiple studies have described the relationship between discrimination and health outcomes among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM). However, little attention has been paid to prejudiced events in workplace environments. Rooted in a social determinants of health framework, we sought to examine associations between sexuality-based workplace discrimination (SBWD) and health outcomes in an online survey of Canadian GBMSM (N= 7,872). A minority (6.5%) of GBMSM reported past-year SBWD, which was more common among those identified as queer, Latino, Aboriginal, single, or with annual income less than CAD $30,000. GBMSM partnered with a man or woman reported less SBWD than single men. After adjusting for sociodemographics, SBWD was positively associated with having discussed depression and anxiety with a healthcare provider, suicidality, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and intimate partner violence (IPV). More GBMSM who reported SBWD rated their health as poor, as compared with those who did not report SBWD. This is the first study to examine SBWD as a social determinant of health among Canadian GBMSM. Findings document that despite the social and legal gains of the last three decades, about 1 in 15 GBMSM report recent workplace discrimination due to their sexuality, which threatens their health. Work-based policies and interventions are urgently needed to provide safer workplace environments for sexual minorities.

Territorial entities in Colombia are bound by the law to register and report to different instances the control information of the government programs they administer. However, so much information is distributed on various state and owned platforms that the result is processed and generated in different formats. This situation makes the comprehensive management of territorial data difficult, since, although the information exists, it is isolated, and its analysis is carried out independently by each party responsible for the process. The objective of this research is the Implementation of a business intelligence model that allows integration and analysis of data from the programs of the Health, Education, and Planning ministries for a Territorial Entity. Ralph Kimball's methodology was used, implementing a star topology model in the Datamart using MySQL as a database manager, an ETL system was built with the Pentaho tool which allows the extraction, transformation, and loading of the data in the Datamart. The cubes, reports and Dashboard are obtained with the management of tools such as Pentaho and Power BI, thus it is possible to make a correct interpretation of the resulting information. After applying Business Intelligence, it is possible to generate an adequate analysis of the information, allowing decision-making and application of new strategies to solve specific problems using control panels, visualization of indicators and generation of reports.
Informal Practices of Localizing Open Educational Resources in Ghana
Authors: Bradshaw Emily , McDonald Jason K.
Published: May 2023

Research on the use of Open Educational Resources (OER) often notes the potential benefits for users to revise, reuse, and remix OER to localize it for specific learners. However, a gap in the literature exists in terms of research that explores how this localization occurs in practice. This is a significant gap given the current flow of OER from higher-income countries in the Global North to lower-income countries in the Global South (King et al., 2018). This study explores how OER from one area of the world is localized when it is used in a different cultural context.

Findings indicated complex encounters with decontextualized content and a variety of localization practices. Participants experienced challenges with technology due to low bandwidth and hardware problems, as well as language problems given Ghana’s history of colonial rule. Native speakers of Twi are less proficient reading Twi than their national language, English. As facilitators worked to overcome these challenges, they were most likely to informally localize content in intuitive ways during the class based on students’ needs. Informal, in-the-moment practices included translating content into Twi, persisting through technological challenges, using local stories and pictures, localizing through discussion, and teaching responsively. These findings have implications for designers to design collaboratively with technological and linguistic flexibility for localization. More research on the practice of OER localization would refine our understanding of how OER is localized and what barriers and affordances exist to this practice.

Published: May 2023

Higher education instructors tried to find best teaching ways during the pandemic. Instructors who were faced with emergency situations used various technologies to deliver their courses. In this study, an online survey was used to ask instructors about their experiences regarding their development of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) during emergency remote teaching (ERT); 231 responses were received from instructors from faculties of education. The survey was a five-point Likert-type scale include the dimensions of pedagogical knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, technological knowledge, technological content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, technological pedagogical knowledge, and technological pedagogical content knowledge. Instructors rated their own non-technological knowledge (pedagogical knowledge, content knowledge, and pedagogical content knowledge) relatively higher than their knowledge including technology (technological knowledge, technological pedagogical knowledge, and technological content knowledge).  The findings indicate that instructors had a consistently high level of perceived knowledge in all TPACK dimensions. Regarding developments in instructors’ TPACK, several suggestions were made, including novel technologies and pedagogies specialized for ERT.

Authors: Tedam Prospera , Matoo Gurbax , Mano Irine , Singh Sukhwinder
Published: May 2023

The importance of formal and informal support for professional social workers cannot be overemphasised and this is true for social work academics who view themselves as belonging to minority groups. This paper outlines the development of the Black Academics Forum (BAF) within the Division of Social Work at the University of Northampton as a strategy to transform social work education for students, its members and ultimately for users of social work services. The benefits of BAF are considered within the context of feeling ‘lost inside space’ and providing a forum to self define whilst drawing upon the values of belonging, acceptance and trust. The challenges and limitations are considered alongside aspirations for the future of the group.
Higher education peer mentoring programme to promote student community using Mobile Device Applications
Authors: Bussu Anna , Burton Sam
Published: May 2023

This paper presents an Italian peer mentoring programme implemented by second year undergraduate students (peer mentors) to support first years (mentees). The aim of the peer mentoring was to promote student community building and endorse active learning. We recruited 19 mentors and 32 mentees into the programme. Data was extracted through the use of semi-structed questionnaires, which were exposed to qualitative analysis. Peer mentors decided to implement their peer mentoring activities using Mobile Device Applications [MDA]. A qualitative content analysis was employed to evaluate student’s perception. Our findings suggest that students were satisfied with the adoption of MDA to foster active learning for, and community building between, undergraduate students. However, participants have highlighted criticisms and improvements.
Promesseiros de Belém do Pará como portadores de modelos arquitetônicos: aproximações ao imaginário e à representação da arquitetura
Authors:   Universidade de São Paulo, Rozestraten Artur Simões
Published: May 2023

O foco desta comunicação é o estudo dos promesseiros do Círio de Nazaré em Belém do Pará como expressões contemporâneas vivas dos portadores do modelo arquitetônico. O caráter ritualístico da relação entre o corpo, o gestual e o modelo arquitetônico articula estas expressões em torno de um mesmo pathosformeln (Warburg, 1999), característico de fenômenos de longa duração (Braudel, 1992). A aproximação a esta expressão brasileira sui-generis sob o enfoque da arquitetura é inédita, e abre novas possibilidades de entendimento das interações entre o universo real e o universo poético imaginário acerca da concepção, representação e produção da arquitetura no passado e no mundo contemporâneo.

A arte do vale do Jequitinhonha no século XVIII: estudo das pinturas sobre madeira em Minas Novas e Chapada do Norte (Minas Gerais)
Authors:   Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Paula Carla Mabel Santos
Published: May 2023

A região hoje denominada Vale do Jequitinhonha foi, durante o período colonial, um dos grandes centros de extração do ouro, tendo Minas Novas como a principal cidade do norte mineiro. O grande florescimento econômico na primeira metade do século XVIII possibilitou a criação de novos povoados, arraiais e vilas. No entanto, esse processo no norte de Minas, comparado à região central, foi realizado de maneira diferenciada devido à distância dos grandes centros de decisões administrativas e ao difícil acesso à região.
Cantaria: entre fronteiras de campos de estudo
Authors:   Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Leal Daniela Viana , Cianfarani Mônica ,   Universidade Estadual de Campinas
Published: May 2023

O tema que dá nome a esse encontro: História da Arte e suas fronteiras discute os limites do campo de pesquisa e também a sua expansão. A arte da Cantaria, do trabalho com a pedra para a construção, ainda é muito pouco conhecida mesmo entre os profissionais da área ou nos meios acadêmicos. Por se tratar de uma técnica aplicada ao desenvolvimento de peças tanto estruturais quanto para elementos decorativos, seu estudo permanece entrincheirado nas fronteiras de diferentes campos de pesquisa. Os estudiosos das técnicas da escultura costumam relegar a cantaria ao espaço de interesse da arquitetura. Todavia, arquitetos de formação modernista tendem a rechaçar os trabalhos ornamentais como de importância menor dentro de uma perspectiva que glorifica a simplicidade das formas.
Transformação e consolidação do gênero opéra-comique a partir da Querelle des Bouffons
Authors:   Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Scandarolli Denise
Published: May 2023

O gênero operístico denominado opéra-comique tem suas origens nos espetáculos teatrais e de divertimento que eram apresentados nas feiras sazonais de Paris. Por volta da segunda metade do século XVII, época em que esse tipo de espetáculo Forain ganha um caráter mais homogêneo, as principais feiras parisienses eram a Foire Saint-Germain e a Foire Saint-Laurent. A primeira se localizava entre a igreja de Saint Germain de Prés e a Saint Suplice (rive gauche) e funcionava entre o início de fevereiro até o domingo de páscoa; a segunda ficava nas proximidades do faubourg Saint Denis (rive droite) e permanecia aberta entre agosto e outubro. Essas feiras recebiam espetáculos de divertimento como domadores de feras, gigantes, anões, malabaristas, dançarinos de corda bamba, os quais foram dando lugar, ao passar do tempo, a pequenas comédias em prosa ou verso entremeadas por música.
Entre a cidade real e a cidade ideal: agentes e representações de Mariana –MG (1711-1808)
Authors:   Universidade de São Paulo, Borsoi Diogo Fonseca
Published: May 2023

Grande parte a bibliografia recente a respeito da história das cidades brasileiras tem se apoiado em fontes de origem iconográfica ou cartográfica. Os primeiros pesquisadores a lançarem mão destas fontes foram Nestor Goulart Reis Filho em “Evolução Urbana no Brasil” (1968) e Paulo Ferreira Santos em “Formação de Cidades no Brasil Colonial” (1968). Ambas as obras citadas estão inseridas em uma discussão acerca da morfologia dos núcleos coloniais brasileiros, a qual é iniciada por Sérgio Buarque de Holanda em um ensaio intitulado O Semeador e o Ladrilhador que compõe o livro Raízes do Brasil (2005). Nesta obra, A urbe tem um papel racionalizador e colonizador, que destoa do perfil aventureiro do português, preocupado com o enriquecimento fácil, sem vínculos duradouros com os lugares onde passava. Suas cidades seriam semeadas pelo litoral sem compromisso; sua forma foi ordenada pelo relevo e sua construção se deu sem “nenhum rigor, nenhum método, nenhuma previdência, sempre esse significativo abandono que exprime a palavra desleixo” (HOLANDA. 2005, p.110).
Livio Abramo no Paraguai: arte e diplomacia cultural a partir dos anos 60
Authors:   Universidade de São Paulo, Nepomuceno Maria Margarida Cintra
Published: May 2023

o Brasil, o artista Lívio Abramo (1903-1992) nunca se dedicou, exclusivamente, ao seu próprio trabalho artístico, apesar de destacar-se como gravador já no final dos anos 40. Suas atividades artísticas sempre foram entremeadas por compromissos da ordem da sobrevivência ou da militância política partidária ou sindical. A descontinuidade em seu ritmo de produção de gravura, em especial, chegando a intervalos de quatro ou cinco anos, o acompanha também no Paraguai. Mesmo depois de muito tempo, sem exercer a militância política ou o jornalismo e, de certa forma, estabilizado financeiramente, Lívio julgava-se um artista bissexto por reconhecer uma ausência de regularidade na produção de suas obras. Depois de muitos anos, acreditava ainda que a sua única profissão era o jornalismo, pois era dela que provinha o sustento regular de sua família e não da Arte.

Published: May 2023

Oscar Pereira da Silva pintor atuante em uma variada gama de gêneros artísticos, composta de pinturas históricas que decoram as paredes do Museu Paulista, cenas de gênero expostas na Pinacoteca do Estado de SP e até mesmo, em meio às paisagens, naturezas-mortas e retratos que seu pincel de pôs a trabalhar para fazer parte de acervos particulares. Ainda não se esquecendo das alegorias que compõe o Teatro Municipal de São Paulo. O pintor é contemporâneo dos cenários da vida caipira desenhados por Almeida Júnior e dos rostos angelicais feitos por Eliseu Visconti. Com certeza, não é mero acaso a escolha das referências contemporâneas ao desenvolvimento da arte de Pereira da Silva, pois a intenção que perdura a unir as palavras iniciais de Acquarone e os nomes artísticos citados tem por fim introduzir a primeira parte da análise das obras de Oscar Pereira da Silva que retratam a figura feminina, produto de um desenho apurado, onde se pode encontrar a habilidade do olhar de Almeida Júnior e a sensibilidade de Eliseu Visconti.

Published: May 2023

The Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) nations understood that having enough money in easily accessible foreign accounts would be beneficial to the government in times of fiscal crisis, currency devaluation, natural economic calamity, and even political upheaval to help cushion sustainable economic growth. Between Q1 2005 and Q4 2020, the study looked at the impact of Nigeria's sovereign wealth fund on the country's ability to sustain economic development. In order to conduct the empirical analysis, the study used the ARDL technique of analysis. In order to prevent erroneous regression results, unit root tests were performed on each of the variables. The co-integration test revealed that there is a long-term (or equilibrium) relationship between Nigeria's sovereign wealth fund and the sustainability of its economic growth. It was revealed that Nigeria's gross domestic product was significantly impacted by the Nigerian Infrastructural Fund. Last but not least, it was revealed that the stability Fund has a considerable impact on GDP in Nigeria. Future Generation Fund was also found to have a big impact. On the whole, SWF impact significantly on sustainable economic growth in Nigeria. If government wishes to maintain economic growth and improve the lives of Nigerians, it should demand and pursue effective control and monitoring of the infrastructure, future and stabilization funds.

Published: May 2023

Point-of-care (POC) devices play an important role in the protection of public health by providing rapid diagnosis of infectious diseases, patient management, and effective treatment. Fast, easy-to-interpret, environmentally resistant, and cost-effective POC tests that can be used practically in the field are gaining more and more importance every day. There is a need for portable devices that will enable rapid diagnosis kits to be used in the field for early diagnosis and treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the DNA hunter device that was developed in terms of providing the required temperature for M. tuberculosis (MTB) diagnosis of the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay and visually evaluating the analysis results. The device in this study; handheld (total weight 430 g, outer dimensions 70 x 175 x 80 mm), the average operating time can reach a maximum temperature of 110 degrees in 2 minutes with a fully charged battery, and the processing time is about 90 minutes without being connected to electricity. It can display the pre-evaluation result on the screen with the full digital color sensor. The device can be adjusted to the desired reaction temperature and time. It also has software where sample registration numbers can be entered. DNA Hunter can be used for all analyses performed by the LAMP method and the results can be evaluated colorimetrically, thus it is well suited for POC testing.

Published: May 2023

The various infection routes of Toxoplasma gondii that are close to daily life strongly support the incidence of toxoplasmosis. The emergence of drug-resistant Toxoplasma gondii strains raises future concerns. Moringa leaf ethanol extract has been shown to have several anti-pathogen activities, which could have an anti-Toxoplasma effect. This research was conducted to analyze the anti-Toxoplasma effect of moringa leaf ethanol extract against tachyzoites replication in Toxoplasma gondii and the correlation between extract doses with the number of tachyzoites. Mice were divided into five groups. The negative control group (Group I) received CMC-Na solution. The positive control group (Group II) received spiramycin 100 mg/kg BW. The treatment groups received moringa leaf ethanol extract 250 mg/kg BW (group III), 500 mg/kg BW (group IV), and 1000 mg/kg BW (group V), respectively. Mice were injected with 1 x 105 tachyzoites/0.1 mL/mice intraperitoneally on the first day. Moringa leaf ethanol extract and spiramycin were given orally once daily for three days. The number of tachyzoites in the intraperitoneal fluid was calculated on the fifth day. The results have shown that there were significantly lower differences (P < 0.05) in group IV (P = 0.021) and group V (P = 0.022) compared to group I. There was also a significant negative correlation between the extract doses and the number of tachyzoites (P = 0.000; r = -0.781). Moringa oleifera leaf ethanol extract has an anti-Toxoplasma effect by inhibiting the tachyzoite replication at     500 mg/kg BW and 1000 mg/kg BW.

Elderly COVID-19 patients have been associated with worse outcomes and have been presented with the highest mortality rate. However, studies on the clinical features and the differences between critical and non-critical elderly COVID-19 patients in Indonesia and even other countries are still lacking and rare. In this retrospective study, the epidemiological and clinical features of critical and non-critical elderly COVID-19 patients admitted to Udayana University Academic Hospital between April 2020 and March 2021 were analyzed and then compared. Of the 280 medical records analyzed, 60.7% were male and the median age was 65.0 years old. Based on the medical records, 18.2% of elderly patients met our criteria of critical patients. The most common symptoms presented in both category upon admission included fever and coughing. The most common comorbidity found in critical patients was heart disease and hypertension in non-critical patients. Laboratory results differences included leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio, platelets, SGOT, SGPT, and urea. Only 9.9% of critical patients and 6.1% of non-critical patients were given antiviral therapy. In contrast, 68.6% of critical patients and 76% of non-critical patients were given antibiotics. The mortality rate in critical patients was 70.6% and 0.4% in non-critical patients. Based on the results, a multimodal approach in the treatment of elderly COVID-19 patients is very essential. The higher mortality rate in elderly patients should be able to be reduced by giving early and timely antiviral therapy with the addition of effective choice of drugs.

The parameter value of ornamental fish is determined by the brighter the color of a type of ornamental fish, the higher the value so that farmers need to maintain the color of the ornamental fish by providing feed containing color pigments that can be obtained from vegetable and animal sources of carotenoids. Sunkist balloon molly fish (Poecilia sp.) were stocked in an aquarium measuring 60 × 30 × 30 cm3 (5 fish/l), Objectives of this study was to determine the effect of feeding formulations using different carotenoid sources with the best treatment for improving the color quality of sunkist balloon molly fish (Poecilia sp.). The method used was experimental (quantitative) completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 treatments, 1 control, and 3 repetitions. Feed was given ad libitum (5% body weight) 3 times a day. Color quality data were analyzed using ImageJ Software and one-way ANOVA test. The results of the study showed that feed utilization efficiency, feed conversion ratio and growth performance were not significantly different between treatments. There was a significant effect on improving the quality of the color shown in the P₃ (yellow pumpkin) treatment of 10% as the best treatment among others. Water quality parameter that observed trend to be normal and stable from the beginning to the end of the maintenance period.

Published: May 2023

Liqueur d’expedition (dosage) is a final sugar addition made to sparkling wine which determines the sweetness and balance of the finished product. In the present study, the influence of dosage sugar composition on Maillard reaction-associated products and precursors in traditional method (bottle-fermented) sparkling wines was evaluated over 18-months of storage in climate-controlled cellar conditions (14 °C, 70 % relative humidity). Evaluated dosage sugar-types included glucose, fructose, cane-derived sucrose, beet-derived sucrose, maltose, and Must Concentrate Rectified (MCR) Sucraisin®, which were compared to a zero dosage (no sugar added) control. Maillard reaction-associated products were quantified by headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled to gas-chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC/MS), and precursors including sugars and amino acids, were measured by enzymatic assay and proton (1H) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, respectively. Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was used to effectively discriminate between wines based on aging duration but did not adequately separate wines treated with different dosage sugar-types. Decreases in alanine and glycine were observed after 18-months of cellar aging, suggesting that Maillard reaction product formation may be partially related to their depletion. Benzaldehyde and ethyl-3-mercaptopropionate were identified as discriminatory Maillard reaction-associated compounds when comparing 0- and 18-month aged wines, with benzaldehyde increasing and ethyl-3-mercaptopropionate decreasing over the aging period. This research contributes to an increased understanding of Maillard reaction pathways in the unique low-temperature and low pH sparkling wine matrix and establishes the relatively greater effect of aging duration compared to dosage sugar-type on the formation of Maillard reaction-associated products. The combined application of HS-SPME-GC/MS and 1H NMR based metabolomics presents new insights into the chemical composition of sparkling wines during aging.

Published: May 2023

Poor medication adherence among older adults is a widespread problem worldwide. As the population ages, the design of smartphone medication management apps is critical to improving medication adherence among older adults. Taking the design of an elderly medication reminder APP as an example, this study proposes a sustainable design research method that integrates the KANO model, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Quality Function Deployment (QFD), and PUGH decision matrix. The method collects user demands through in-depth interviews, and applies the KANO model to classify these demands. The hierarchical structure of user needs is established by using AHP, and the priority is sorted according to the weight and importance determined by the judgment matrix. QFD is used to translate user needs into design requirements, and the house of quality matrix identifies key design requirements. Finally, design alternatives are evaluated using Pugh's concept selection method. The results of this study demonstrate that the integration of KANO-AHP-QFD-PUGH can be effective as a sustainable optimal design approach for the user experience of a medication reminder application for the elderly. This integrated method not only facilitates innovative optimization and sustainability of application design methods but also provides valuable theoretical and practical insights for future drug-assisted design for elderly users.
The Impacts of Shopping Tourism on Retail Sales and Rents: Lessons from the Covid-19 Quasi-Experiment of Hong Kong
Authors: Yiu Chung Yim
Published: May 2023

This research studies the impact of shopping tourism on retail sales and rents, using the Covid-19 pandemic as a quasi-experiment. Shopping tourism refers to individuals who travel primarily for shopping purposes, and their spending patterns can have significant effects on the retail sector. The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted global travel and resulted in a decline in shopping tourist arrivals, leading to a downturn in sales for retailers dependent on shopping tourism. Additionally, the decline in shopping tourism affected retail rents, as the reduced demand for retail spaces posed challenges for property owners in attracting tenants. The study focuses on Hong Kong, a prominent shopping destination, which experienced a significant decline in tourist arrivals and retail sales during the pandemic. The research analyzes the relationship between tourist arrivals, retail sales, and rents using time series analysis and identifies the impact of shopping tourism on retail spaces and rents. The findings suggest a positive association between tourist arrivals and retail sales, particularly during the period of shopping tourism growth. However, the pandemic severely reduced this effect, revealing the impact of shopping tourists on the retail sector. The study concludes by discussing the implications on retail resilience and highlighting the need for further research on the impacts of shopping tourists on retail sales and rents.
ChatGPT-Enabled daVinci Surgical Robot Prototype: Advancements and Limitations
Authors: Pandya Abhilash
Published: May 2023

The daVinci Surgical Robot has revolutionized minimally invasive surgery by enabling greater accuracy and less invasive procedures. However, the system lacks advanced features and autonomy necessary for it to function as a true partner. To enhance its usability, we introduce the implementation of a ChatGPT-based natural language robot interface. Overall, our integration of a ChatGPT-enabled daVinci Surgical Robot has potential to expand the utility of the surgical platform by supplying a more accessible interface. Our system can listen to the operator speak and, through the ChatGPT-enabled interface, translate the sentence and context to execute specific commands to alter the robot’s behavior or to activate certain features. For instance, the surgeon could say (even in Spanish) “please track my left tool” and the system will translate the sentence into a specific track command. This specific error-checked command will then be sent to the hardware which will respond by controlling the camera of the system to continuously adjust to center the left tool in the field of view. We have implemented many commands including “Find my tools” (tools that are not in the field of view) or start/stop recording that can be triggered based on a natural conversational context. Here, we present details of our prototype system, give some accuracy results, and explore its potential implications and limitations. We also discuss how artificial intelligence tools (such as ChatGPT) of the future could be leveraged by robotic surgeons to reduce errors and enhance the efficiency and safety of surgical procedures and even ask for help.

Understanding the spatial distribution pattern and evolution characteristics of the elderly population in urban areas is of great significance for the development of urban planning and the implementation of public management policies in the context of rapid aging. Accurately identifying the spatial distribution and evolution characteristics of the elderly population in the city requires a comprehensive analysis of multiple indicators and large-scale data. Taking Wuhan city as an example, this article measures the spatial distribution characteristics and evolution trend of the elderly population from 2000 to 2020 at the street/township level, based on the fifth, sixth, and seventh census data, using methods such as kernel density hotspot detection, spatial clustering analysis, and standard deviation ellipse analysis. The results show that: ① there are significant differences in the aging spatial pattern between the central area and the suburban areas of Wuhan; ② overall, Wuhan's aging rate shows a typical "core-periphery" growth mode in space, while the density of the elderly population has significant spatial aggregation characteristics and shows an evolution trend of "centralized concentration, peripheral outliers, axial development, and near-field growth"; ③the center of gravity of the elderly population remains relatively stable over time.
