Authors: De Souza Passos Joelson , Vieira Mesquisa Vinicius , Francisco Notisso Pedro , Apolinária Nogueira Regina
Published: January 2022

A qualidade da água está relacionada aos fenômenos naturais e às ações antrópicas, influenciada pelo uso e ocupação do solo na bacia hidrográfica. Devido à alta produção e o manejo inadequado dos resíduos sólidos a Lei 12.305/2010 (Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos) foi criada, a fim de reduzir os impactos socioeconômicos e ambientais decorrentes deste. Nesse contexto, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar os riscos de impactos ambientais pela presença de disposição final de resíduos sólidos na Bacia do Rio Vermelho, com estudo de caso no lixão do município de Goiás. Constatou-se impactos negativos no meio físico e no meio antrópico, causados pelos lixões na bacia. Foi observado que a Bacia do Rio Vermelho está em área frágil, altamente susceptível a contaminação pelos lixões. São necessários o planejamento e a tomada de ações imediatas, a fim de extinguir o lixão e criar um aterro sanitário, para reduzir os impactos ambientais.

Published: January 2022

O presente estudo busca reconhecer o processo de implantação e expansão do esgotamento sanitário, e identificar infraestrutura atual, cartografando, também, as áreas de baixa adesão à rede coletora de esgoto na cidade de Mossoró/RN-Brasil. Para isso, foi discutida a expansão urbana da cidade, em seguida, foi caracterizada a expansão da infraestrutura do esgotamento sanitário e atuais taxas de atendimento aos domicílios. Foi possível identificar que apesar do considerável alcance da infraestrutura da rede coletora para 63% da área construída da cidade, ela atendeu sobretudo os interesses imobiliários especulativos. Os principais problemas são a falta de disponibilidade da rede de esgoto para populações mais periféricas, mas sobretudo pela baixa adesão à rede, que pode chegar a menos de 10% dos domicílios. Aponta-se a necessidade de política de saneamento básico que promova inclusão de populações vulneráveis.

Published: January 2022

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar as dinâmicas territoriais em espaços fronteiriços, a partir do município de Jardim, no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil. A abordagem realizada se define pelas especificidades de um território localizado na faixa de fronteira no sentido de verificar algumas relações manifestas no espaço-tempo. Para isso buscamos ainda analisar a viabilidade de um corredor bioceânico de integração que atravessará o estado de Mato Grosso do Sul e algumas implicações para a dinâmica regional, uma vez que, tal infraestrutura servirá à circulação territorial determinada por agentes hegemônicos na lógica de acumulação e reprodução do capital no âmbito da faixa de fronteira sul-mato-grossense. Considerando essa complexidade espacial, propomos uma discussão sucinta, mas perspicaz, sobre a relação local-global na dinâmica territorial e urbana de Jardim.
Zwyciężać samego siebie – kard. Stefan Wyszyński o ideale (katolickiego) wychowania
Authors: Chrobak Stanisław
Published: January 2022

Dla współczesnej pedagogiki życie, myśl i nauczanie kardynała Stefana Wyszyńskiego wpisują się w tradycję rozwoju nauki społecznej Kościoła oraz obejmują obszar pedagogiki katolickiej. Katolicką naukę społeczną traktował kardynał jako integralną część nauczania Kościoła o człowieku, egzystującym i pracującym w konkretnej rzeczywistości społeczno-gospodarczej i politycznej. Na pierwszym miejscu stawiał konkretnego człowieka. Czy wychowanie katolickie ma dziś swoje znaczenie? – pytał Prymas Tysiąclecia i wskazywał na ideały katolickiego (integralnego) wychowania obejmującego: wewnętrzną jedność wychowania; miłość prawdy i życie w prawdzie oraz potrzebę jednoczenia wszystkiego i wszystkich w miłości. Podkreślał, że życie jest największym dobrem każdego człowieka. Każdy człowiek tylko w biegu życia nabiera pełnego wyrazu swej osobowości. Nikt się nie rodzi geniuszem, wielkim uczonym, świętym, ale dzięki życiu się nim staje. Jako istota rozumna i wolna rozwija się w działaniu i wysiłku na rzecz nieprzemijających, ponadczasowych wartości dobra, prawdy i piękna.

University spaces for cooperation strengthening pro-innovative attitudes of academic community
Authors: Kulpa-Puczyńska Aleksandra
Published: January 2022

The article and its undertaken matter are part of the discussion on the pro-innovative nature of a university – featuring examples of (mainly educational) activities which boost innovation on the university campus and beyond, and referring to trends occurring in the analysed areas. The presented content has been limited to the social dimension of innovation, which among other things, changes the way of perceiving the world and interpersonal relations, also in terms of organization of workspaces and (co)working methods. The purpose of the article is also to draw attention to the participation of students, academic teachers in various activities (also pro-innovative ones) taking place within a non-traditional social infrastructure. Problem analysis was based on literature studies, including reports on research on innovation as well as on the author’s professional experience related to new spaces of education – and an attempt to answer the question: “Can cooperation within the described spaces strengthen pro-innovative attitudes, including the attitudes of future pedagogues?”
Work from the Perspective of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński. Pedagogical Implications
Authors: Niewęgłowski Jan
Published: January 2022

In his abundant teaching, Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński devoted a lot of attention to the question of work, its significance in human life and the role it plays in the process of education. The Primate claimed that education for work cannot be brought down to developing manual competences necessary to perform a given profession, but that it should be a process aimed at discovering the meaning of work itself. In order to understand that meaning properly, Cardinal Wyszyński analysed the text of the Book of Genesis, which tells about the Creator and His “work” in terms of creating the world. Man is a “child of God”, that is, a thinking being endowed with an inquiring mind and capable of grasping the transcendent dimension of his existence. The work performed by man cannot be senseless duplication of the Creator’s deeds, but rather independent human thinking and action. Education for work must be complemented by virtue, for it is virtue that enriches man and allows him to become the performer and creator of work, and not the other way around.

Published: January 2022

Niniejszy artykuł poświęcony został w całości nowemu środkowi zapobiegawczemu, który ustawodawca wprowadził do procesu karnego na podstawie niedawno uchwalonej ustawy antycovidowej. W opracowaniu dokonano szerokiej analizy art. 276a k.p.k., w kontekście karnoprocesowego statusu pokrzywdzonego. Wykreowany środek zapobiegawczy stanowi novum w obowiązującej procedurze karnej, dlatego też problematyka jego zastosowania, ocena wpływu na kodeksową koncepcję środków zapobiegawczych i jego relacja do pozostałych środków wolnościowych nie została dotychczas szerzej eksplikowana. Na podstawie ostatnich kilkunastu lat tendencje ustawodawcze wskazują wprost, że rola pokrzywdzonego w procesie karnym ulega stopniowemu wzmacnianiu. Niewątpliwie ustanowienie środka nieizolacyjnego, którego beneficjentem jest określona grupa społeczna, nakreśla nowy kierunek polskiej procedury karnej.

Can the Incorporation of Different Concentrations of Buriti ( Mauritia flexuosa
) Oil Change the Rheological Properties of Filmogenic Solutions? A
Factorial Experimental Design Approach
Authors: Costa Danusa Silva da , Takeuchi Katiuchia Pereira , Silva Richard Marins da , Egea Mariana Buranelo , Plácido Geovana Rocha
Published: January 2022

Background:

Buriti (Mauritia flexuosa) oil has high economic potential because it contains
monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids with high antioxidant potential and high
carotenoid content, making it an excellent source of pro-vitamin A.

Objective:

The objective of this work was to evaluate the rheological properties of filmogenic solutions
incorporated with different buriti oil concentrations.

Methods:

Buriti oil (0.15 to 0.45% w/v) and emulsifier (Tween®20) (0.02 to 0.04% w/v) were combined
using a factorial experimental design 22 with 3 central points for the preparation of filmogenic
solutions with cassava starch (3%, w/v) and glycerol (0.06%, w/v). Rheological properties,
static and centrifugation emulsion stabilities, and pH value of filmogenic solutions were evaluated.

Results:

Filmogenic solutions with lower emulsifier concentration showed increased flow resistance
and non-Newtonian and pseudoplastic behavior (n<1). Central point formulation (E, F, and
G) remained stable (no particle agglomeration) throughout the test period, as well as pH value
close to neutrality. In centrifugation stability index at 3500 rpm, only formulation C did not show
phase separation.

Conclusion:

It was possible to develop a mixture of a filmogenic solution containing buriti oil that
could be applied as an eco-friendly coating in food.
Clinical Implications of Cancer Related Inflammation and Depression: A Critical Review
Authors: McFarland Daniel C. , Riba Michelle , Grassi Luigi
Published: January 2022

Background:

Neuropsychiatric symptoms are problematic in cancer settings. In addition to poor quality of life, depression is associated with worsened survival. Patients who develop depression that responds to treatment have the same cancer-related survival as those patients who never had depression. Although depression in patients with cancer is common, it is often unrecognized, untreated, or at best, undertreated. There remains untapped potential for underlying cancer-related biology associated with depression to help clinicians correctly identify depressed cancer patients and orchestrate appropriate treatments to address cancer-related depression. Biologically, inflammation has been most vigorously described in its association with depression in otherwise healthy patients and to a significant extent in patients with medical illness. This association is especially relevant to patients with cancer since so many aspects of cancer induce inflammation. In addition to cancer itself, its treatments (e.g., surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and systemic therapies) and associated factors (e.g., smoking, obesity, aging) are all associated with increased inflammation that can drive immunological changes in the brain followed by depression. This critical review investigates the relationship between depression and cancer-related inflammation. It investigates several hypotheses that support these relationships in cancer patients. Special attention is given to the data that support certain inflammatory markers specific to both cancer and depression, the neurobiological mechanisms by which inflammation can impact neurotransmitters and neurocircuits in the brain, and the data addressing interventions that reduce inflammation and depression in cancer patients, and future directions.
L-asparaginase-mediated Therapy in L-asparagine Auxotrophic Cancers: A Review
Authors: Sindhu Rajashekar , Manonmani Haravey K.
Published: January 2022

Microbial L-asparaginase is the most effective first-line therapy used in the treatment protocols of paediatric
and adult leukemia. Leukemic cells’ auxotrophy for L-asparagine is exploited as a therapeutic strategy to mediate cell
death through metabolic blockade of L-asparagine using L-asparaginase. Escherichia coli and Erwinia chrysanthemi
serve as the major enzyme deriving sources accepted in clinical practice, and the enzyme has bestowed improvements
in patient outcomes over the last 40 years. However, an array of side effects generated by the native enzymes due to
glutamine co-catalysis and short serum stays augmenting frequent dosages intended a therapeutic switch towards developing
bio better alternatives for the enzyme, including the formulations resulting in sustained local depletion of Lasparagine.
In addition, the treatment with L-asparaginase in a few cancer types has proven to elicit drug-induced cytoprotective
autophagy mechanisms and therefore warrants concern. Although the off-target glutamine hydrolysis has
been viewed as contributing to the drug-induced secondary responses in cells deficient with asparagine synthetase
machinery, the beneficial role of glutaminase-asparaginase in proliferative regulation of asparagine prototrophic cells
has been looked forward. The current review provides an overview of the enzyme’s clinical applications in leukemia
and possible therapeutic implications in other solid tumours, recent advancements in drug formulations, and discusses
the aspects of two-sided roles of glutaminase-asparaginases and drug-induced cytoprotective autophagy mechanisms.
Surgical Preferences in the Management of Primary Pterygium among Anterior Segment Specialists
Authors: Alfarhan Abdulrahman , Alhamzah Albanderi , Abuabat Abdulaziz , Debasi Tariq , Almudhaiyan Tariq
Published: January 2022

Purpose:

The purpose of this study is to reflect anterior segment specialists’ current practice pattern regarding the management of primary pterygium.

Methods:

A 24-item survey regarding indications for surgery, different surgical techniques, use of adjuvant pharmacological therapy, type of intraoperative and postoperative pharmacological therapy, and the preferred treatment of early recurrences was sent to members of the Saudi Ophthalmological Society (SOS) and practicing cornea experts including consultants, specialists, and fellows in Saudi Arabia.

Results:

A total of 61 cornea specialists completed the questionnaire (response rate 49%). More than 95% considered the proximity of the pterygium to the visual axis an indication for excision. The most frequent technique for pterygium excision was extensive head and conjunctival resection, including the base (69%) and intermediate resection of the Tenon's capsule (53%). For conjunctival replacement, conjunctival autograft was preferred by 79%, amniotic membrane (54%), and simple conjunctival closure (46%). Interrupted vicryl sutures, fibrin glue, and combined sutures and tissue adhesive were the preferred graft fixation conveyed by 85%, 46%, and 34% of our experts, respectively. An estimated recurrence rate of 1-5% was stated by 29% of respondents and 46% reported recurrence within 6 to 12 months. Half of the respondents specified using mitomycin C intraoperatively to prevent early pterygium recurrences. When recurrence occurred, corticosteroid was the agent of choice.

Conclusion:

This study set out to reflect the practice pattern of anterior segment specialists regarding the management of primary pterygium, and it may serve as an insight for further studies to define the optimal management of pterygium.
Contributing Factors in Violent Youth Behaviour: A Study in the Limpopo Province, South Africa
Authors: Ramakulukusha Tshilidzi O. , Babalola Sunday S. , Mashau Ntsieni S.
Published: January 2022

Background:

Violent behaviour in youth is regarded as a significant public health problem associated with severe physical and psychological consequences. Despite the availability of rehabilitation programmes rendered at child and youth care centres (CYCC's) in the Limpopo Province, South Africa, there is an escalation and repetition of violent behaviours among the youth due to some underlying socio-economic factors.

Objective:

The study sought to explore and describe the factors contributing to violent behaviours among the youth.

Methods:

A qualitative, explorative, and descriptive research design was used. A non-probability, purposive sampling method was used to select participants in this study. The study population consisted of youth, from the age of 15-20 years old, who were admitted to the child and youth care centres due to violent behaviours. Focus group discussions and in-depth individual interviews were used to collect data from participants. A semi-structured interview guide and focus group discussion guide were used to collect data until data saturation which occurred after interviewing 48 participants. Data were analysed following Tesch’s open code data analysis technique. Measures to ensure trustworthiness and ethical principles were adhered to.

Results:

Two themes emerged from the analysed data, namely, the socio-economic factors contributing to violent behaviours among the youth in CYCCs and the effectiveness of rehabilitation programmes for violent youth behaviours in CYCCs. Eight sub-themes were derived from the two main themes. The home environment, the influence of delinquent peers, availability, and misuse of drugs and alcohol were most cited as the factors contributing to violent behaviours among the youth in CYCCs in the Limpopo Province. The study's findings revealed that youth had little knowledge of the impact that violent behaviour has on the victim, themselves, their families, and society.

Conclusion:

Rehabilitation programmes for violent behaviours among the youth will have better outcomes by involving the youth's family, especially the parents/guardians. Also, the child and youth care centres and youth violence policymakers need to emphasise family education as one of the most crucial violence prevention strategies in vulnerable youth.
Gospodarka odpadami Termiczne przekształcanie odpadów – spalarnie i współspalarnie
Authors: Siekierski Maciej , Majewska Karolina , Podsiadło Sławomir
Published: January 2022

Gospodarka odpadami jest szeregiem procesów związanych z wytwarzaniem, zbieraniem i nadzorem odpadów, z czego kluczową rolę pełni ich przetwarzanie. Obejmuje także zagadnienia związane z postępowaniem z miejscami ich unieszkodliwienia. Obecnie, jest to jedno z najważniejszych zagadnień dotyczących współczesnej cywilizacji w związku z narastającym problemem zanieczyszczenia środowiska. Artykuł jest kolejnym z serii artykułów poświęconych gospodarce odpadami [Wieczorek, Siekierski 2020]. Celem artykułu jest przekazanie obiektywnych informacji dotyczących termicznego przekształcania odpadów, wokół którego narosło szereg mitów dotyczących zarówno jego zalet, jak i szkodliwości dla środowiska. Jest to szczególna metoda przetwarzania odpadów, bo może polegać zarówno na ich unieszkodliwianiu, jak i odzysku. Termiczne przekształcanie odpadów odbywa się przede wszystkim w spalarniach, jak również we współspalarniach, którymi mogą być oprócz specjalnie zaprojektowanych do tego celu instalacji dedykowanych, czyli takich, których jedynym przedmiotem działania jest termiczne przekształcanie odpadów np. poprzez ich spalanie, także i takie instalacje przemysłowe, które już wcześniej zainstalowane zostały w zakładach przemysłowych o zupełnie innym profilu, np. w cementowniach, elektrowniach i elektrociepłowniach. W jednym z kolejnych z cyklu artykułów zostaną również przedstawione należące do tej samej grupy procesów termicznych metody utylizacji odpadów z wykorzystaniem technologii plazmowych. Interesujące porównanie tych trzech technologii można znaleźć w pracy opublikowanej w 2018 r. w czasopiśmie Rynek Energii [Rajca, Zajemska 2018]. Nie jest zamiarem autorów lobbowanie za jakąkolwiek metodą termicznego przekształcania odpadów.

The properties of c-oriented thin films Sr0.5Ba0.5Nb2O6 grown on a Si(001) (p-type) substrate with a pre-deposited Ba0.2Sr0.8TiO3 layer were studied using scanning probe microscopy and dielectric spectroscopy. It is established that the films Sr0.5Ba0.5Nb2O6 are characterized by low surface roughness (less than 6 nm), average crystallite size 93 nm. It is shown that there is spontaneous polarization in the film directed from its surface to the substrate, which caused the manifestation of the field effect for the case of the Si substrate with p-type conductivity without external field effect. Differences in the magnitude of the surface potential signal for regions polarized by an external electric field of different polarities (+10 and −10 V), as well as in their relaxation to the initial state, are revealed. The reasons for the established patterns are discussed.

App-Based Relaxation Exercises for Patients With Chronic Neck Pain: Pragmatic Randomized Trial
Authors: Pach Daniel , Blödt Susanne , Wang Jiani , Keller Theresa , Bergmann Beatrice , Rogge Alizé A , Barth Jürgen , Icke Katja , Roll Stephanie , Witt Claudia M
Published: January 2022

Background

Chronic neck pain is a highly prevalent condition. Learning a relaxation technique is recommended by numerous guidelines for chronic neck pain. Smartphone apps can provide relaxation exercises; however, their effectiveness, especially in a self-care setting, is unclear.

Objective

The aim of this pragmatic randomized trial is to evaluate whether app-based relaxation exercises, including audio-based autogenic training, mindfulness meditation, or guided imagery, are more effective in reducing chronic neck pain than usual care alone.

Methods

Smartphone owners aged 18 to 65 years with chronic (>12 weeks) neck pain and the previous week’s average neck pain intensity ≥4 on the Numeric Rating Scale (0=no pain to 10=worst possible pain) were randomized into either an intervention group to practice app-based relaxation exercises or a control group (usual care and app for data entry only). For both groups, the follow-up data were collected using app-based diaries and questionnaires. The primary outcome was the mean neck pain intensity during the first 3 months based on daily measurements. Secondary outcomes included neck pain based on weekly measurements, pain acceptance, neck pain–related stress, sick-leave days, pain medication intake, and adherence, which were all measured until the 6-month follow-up. For the primary analysis, analysis of covariance adjusted for baseline neck pain intensity was used.

Results

We screened 748 participants and enrolled 220 participants (mean age 38.9, SD 11.3 years; mean baseline neck pain 5.7, SD 1.3 points). The mean neck pain intensity in both groups decreased over 3 months; however, no statistically significant difference between the groups was found (intervention: 4.1 points, 95% CI 3.8-4.4; control: 3.8 points, 95% CI 3.5-4.1; group difference: 0.3 points, 95% CI −0.2 to 0.7; P=.23). In addition, no statistically significant between-group differences regarding neck pain intensity after 6 months, responder rate, pain acceptance, pain medication intake, or sick-leave days were observed. There were no serious adverse events that were considered related to the trial intervention. In week 12, only 40% (44/110) of the participants in the intervention group continued to practice the exercises with the app.

Conclusions

The study app did not effectively reduce chronic neck pain or keep the participants engaged in exercising in a self-care setting. Future studies on app-based relaxation interventions should take into account the most recent scientific findings for behavior change techniques.

Implementation and Evaluation of a Digitally Enabled Precision Public Health Intervention to Reduce Inappropriate Gabapentinoid Prescription: Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Andrade Andre Q , Calabretto Jean-Pierre , Pratt Nicole L , Kalisch-Ellett Lisa M , Kassie Gizat M , LeBlanc Vanessa T , Ramsay Emmae , Roughead Elizabeth E
Published: January 2022

Background

Digital technologies can enable rapid targeted delivery of audit and feedback interventions at scale. Few studies have evaluated how mode of delivery affects clinical professional behavior change and none have assessed the feasibility of such an initiative at a national scale.

Objective

The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate the effect of audit and feedback by digital versus postal (letter) mode of delivery on primary care physician behavior.

Methods

This study was developed as part of the Veterans’ Medicines Advice and Therapeutics Education Services (MATES) program, an intervention funded by the Australian Government Department of Veterans’ Affairs that provides targeted education and patient-specific audit with feedback to Australian general practitioners, as well as educational material to veterans and other health professionals. We performed a cluster randomized controlled trial of a multifaceted intervention to reduce inappropriate gabapentinoid prescription, comparing digital and postal mode of delivery. All veteran patients targeted also received an educational intervention (postal delivery). Efficacy was measured using a linear mixed-effects model as the average number of gabapentinoid prescriptions standardized by defined daily dose (individual level), and number of veterans visiting a psychologist in the 6 and 12 months following the intervention.

Results

The trial involved 2552 general practitioners in Australia and took place in March 2020. Both intervention groups had a significant reduction in total gabapentinoid prescription by the end of the study period (digital: mean reduction of 11.2%, P=.004; postal: mean reduction of 11.2%, P=.001). We found no difference between digital and postal mode of delivery in reduction of gabapentinoid prescriptions at 12 months (digital: –0.058, postal: –0.058, P=.98). Digital delivery increased initiations to psychologists at 12 months (digital: 3.8%, postal: 2.0%, P=.02).

Conclusions

Our digitally delivered professional behavior change intervention was feasible, had comparable effectiveness to the postal intervention with regard to changes in medicine use, and had increased effectiveness with regard to referrals to a psychologist. Given the logistical benefits of digital delivery in nationwide programs, the results encourage exploration of this mode in future interventions.

ALCOHOL-BASED HAND SANITIZER: ABUSE DURING LOCKDOWN AMIDST COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: SARMA BEDANTA , KUMARAN M SENTHIL
Published: January 2022

Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are popular alternative to the traditional handwashing with soap and water in both healthcare and community settings. Although some people use to carry small sanitizer bottles with them during travel; its utilization by common people come into picture during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of sudden requirement of those products within a short time, there was even shortage during the initial days. Once nationwide lockdown was declared in India, to prevent community spread; all the shops were closed including wine shops. During this tough time, many alcohol withdrawal cases were reported from different regions. Some people started taking hand sanitizers as a replacement for potable alcohol. Because of high alcoholic content and adulteration with methanol or any other substances, most of the people became ill and they were hospitalized. Deaths were also reported from different states following its consumption. Addiction to hand sanitizers is now considered as one of the overlooked problems globally. It is very difficult to erase the problem, especially among teenagers. Multi-task approach involving different populations at different levels are required to handle this problem.

Authors: DOGRA DEEKSHA , JULKA JM. , KUMAR ARUN
Published: January 2022

At present, researchers have a keen interest in creating advanced antimicrobic agents to overcome microbial resistance from various new sources either from plants or microbes. For this, robust attention has been given to the advancement in the rapid antimicrobic assessment strategies and methods to develop antimicrobic agents. Some of the antimicrobic techniques such as well diffusion using broth and agar and disc diffusion are more prominent in assaying antimicrobial testing while techniques such as bioluminescence, flow cytofluorometry methods are less used due to specific equipment’s, high calibration and evaluation processes. Thus, the information of precise antimicrobial techniques is must to the new researchers for antimicrobic testing. In this review article, various antimicrobic techniques with their advantages and limitations are being reported which are currently being carried out for antimicrobial testing.

Methods: All the clinical samples (blood, urine, sputum, BAL, throat swab, wound swab, aspirated fluid, pleural fluid, and pus) received in the microbiology laboratory were processed by aseptic techniques. Clinical samples were inoculated on appropriate media (blood agar, MacConkey agar, and chocolate agar [HIMEDIA]). After inoculation, the culture plates were incubated at 37°C aerobically for 18–24 h for growth. Positive cultures were picked up and further bacterial species identification was done using automated techniques (MALDI- TOF).
Results: Among 28 isolates, the most recurrent strains of CoNS are Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus hominis, Staphylococcus lugdunensis, and Staphylococcus haemolyticus. The assessment of antibacterial drugs sensitivity shows that all the isolates were more sensitive to daptomycin (S. epidermidis 100%, S. hominis 100%, S. lugdunensis 100%, and S. haemolyticus 42.85%) followed by linezolid (S. epidermidis [69.23%], S. hominis [100%], S. lugdunensis [100%], and S. haemolyticus [57.14%]) and vancomycin (S. epidermidis [100%], S. hominis [40%], S. lugdunensis [100%], S. haemolyticus [42.85%]). The analysis revealed the presence of the mecA gene (67.85%) and biofilm production (85.71%), respectively.
Conclusion: Our data indicate that the hospital environment can be colonized by biofilm forming CoNS and transmission of these strains can cause an increased risk of serious nosocomial infections.

Published: January 2022

Objective: The study contemplates in silico modeling, synthesis and in-vitro anti-diabetic evaluation of benzothiazole substituted oxadiazole derivatives. [{5-[(1, 3-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl) methyl]-1, 3, 4-oxadiazol-2-yl} sulfanyl) methyl] derivatives were synthesized by a conventional method.
Methods: All the newly synthesized derivatives were characterized by determining their melting point, retention factor from thin-layer chromatography, and spectral methods (Infrared, 1H NMR spectroscopy, 13C NMR spectroscopy, Mass spectroscopy) and evaluated for their anti-diabetic activity.
Results: [{5-[(1, 3-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl) methyl]-1, 3, 4-oxadiazol-2-yl} sulfanyl) methyl] derivatives have been made and characterized using physical and spectral methods. The in-vitro anti-diabetic screening study revealed that BZT1 and BZT4 exhibited high inhibition against glucose uptake assay and alpha-amylase enzyme. But only the derivative BZT4 showed inhibition against alpha-glucosidase enzyme.
Conclusion: Various benzothiazole substituted oxadiazole derivatives were synthesized, characterized by spectral studies. The anti-diabetic studies revealed that the synthesized derivatives have significant anti-diabetic properties and further structure-activity relationship studies may develop more potent and less toxic molecules.

Apuntes para la reflexión de la violencia en Guanajuato, México
Authors: Domínguez Cornejo Matilde Margarita
Published: January 2022

El objetivo en este artículo es reflexionar, a modo de estado de la cuestión, sobre el acelerado crecimiento de la violencia generalizada en Guanajuato, México. Se considera que el incremento de homicidios dolosos y crímenes de alto impacto son producto de distintos acontecimientos que se intersectan y se han desarrollado poco a poco en la entidad, como: un proceso de industrialización acelerado, desigualdades sociales y económicas, el feminicidio, el robo de combustible, la venta, distribución y consumo de drogas sintéticas, como la metanfetamina, y una política punitiva de combate directo al crimen organizado. Para comprender este proceso se recurre a realizar un análisis de datos estadísticos y trabajo de campo en distintas zonas de la entidad. Se concluye que el desarrollo acelerado de la región ha contribuido al cambio en las dinámicas de ciudades pequeñas, que hasta hace unos años se consideraban en extremo seguras, pues pasaron a ser el centro de balaceras, masacres, desapariciones, feminicidios, entre otros. La entidad es un gran ejemplo de la necropolítica que despliegan los estados soberanos contemporáneos que, al construir un enemigo en común, “el crimen organizado”, justifican el despliegue de la fuerza del estado y de los grupos paraestatales para mantener a la población bajo control.

El sector industrial en la Región de Murcia: un análisis integral
Authors: Santos Jaén José Manuel , Vidal Molina Laura
Published: January 2022

La importancia del análisis del tejido empresarial del sector industrial en la Región de Murcia es evidente, puesto que en las últimas décadas este sector se ha visto sometido a un gran proceso de transformación, debido a los procesos de globalización, al cambio tecnológico y a la gran apertura comercial.
El análisis del tejido empresarial de la industria de la Región de Murcia ha sido posible gracias a un estudio cuantitativo de la evolución de las principales magnitudes macroeconómicas y al estudio e interpretación de los estados contables de las empresas que componen la industria química, coquerías y del refino de petróleo.
Como resultados generales, podemos destacar que estas transformaciones del sector industrial le han permitido duplicar sus exportaciones, siendo su influencia la más importante para el crecimiento de las exportaciones regionales. Además, se ha producido un gran crecimiento de nuevos sectores emergentes distintos a los sectores tradicionales, tales como la industria química, coquerías y refino de petróleo, los cuales han experimentado una rápida recuperación tras la crisis económica que ha atravesado el país en la última década.

Authors: Aguilar-Curiel Jimena Valeria , Rodríguez-Castro Doris Marisol , Mendoza-Núñez Víctor Manuel
Published: January 2022

Introducción. El envejecimiento es un proceso gradual y adaptativo que inicia en la quinta década de la vida, propicia cambios anatómicos y fisiológicos que incrementan el riesgo de enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles, entre las cuales destaca la sarcopenia. En este sentido, el ejercicio físico es una de las mejores opciones para prevenir y controlar dicha enfermedad. Al respecto el TaiChi (TC) es uno de los ejercicios recomendados para dicho fin, sin embargo, los resultados publicados son limitados. Objetivo. Presentar una síntesis de la evidencia científica relativa al efecto del TC sobre la masa y fuerza muscular en personas en proceso de envejecimiento, a través de una revisión sistemática. Método. Se llevó a cabo una búsqueda de estudios en PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, SciELO, TESIUNAM y Epistemonikos acorde con los lineamientos de PRISMA. Se analizaron los estudios seleccionados hasta el 8 de enero de 2021. Resultados. Un total de 489 artículos fueron identificados y 25 estudios cumplieron con los criterios de elegibilidad, para la revisión sistemática. Respecto a la valoración de la fuerza muscular, no se reportan diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre la práctica del TC con otros tipos de ejercicio. Con relación a la masa muscular solo en dos estudios se midió esta variable, de los cuales en uno se encontró un efecto positivo sobre la masa muscular y en otro se observó una disminución estadísticamente significativa después del entrenamiento del TC. Conclusión. Los resultados sugieren que la práctica del TC durante 8 semanas o más tiene un efecto significativo sobre la fuerza de miembros superiores, similar al observado con la práctica del ejercicio físico de resistencia. No hay evidencias científicas suficientes con respecto al efecto del entrenamiento del TC sobre la masa muscular.
Refinamiento de la estrategia y búsqueda en diferentes bases de datos para una revisión sistemática.
Authors: Sánchez-Rodríguez Martha A. , Castelán-Martínez Osvaldo Daniel
Published: January 2022

Al ser la información de los estudios el centro de análisis en este tipo de investigación documental, la búsqueda debe ser en diferentes bases de datos y lo más exhaustiva posible, pero tan bien dirigida que sea “manejable”, es decir, obtener los reportes de investigación que permitan responder la pregunta de investigación, con una estrategia bien seleccionada, eliminando la información no relacionada con el objetivo del estudio, ni irrelevante. En este sentido, no existe un número mínimo ni máximo
de documentos a incluir en una revisión sistemática, esto depende de la pregunta de investigación, lo que se ha publicado con respecto de esa pregunta, el objetivo y el alcance de la revisión; pero es obvio que si se recuperan miles de artículos científicos no se podrá leer, tal vez, ni el total de títulos, por ello es muy importante establecer una estrategia de búsqueda adecuada y repetirla, de ser posible, en todas las bases de datos consultadas para asegurar la reproducibilidad de la investigación. En ocasiones
la estrategia final es muy grande, no obstante con la combinación de varios operadores boleanos, diferentes términos, comillas y filtros o límites utilizados en la búsqueda, se logrará mayor precisión, dependiente de la base de datos o sitio web consultados. En este contexto, el objetivo de este documento es mostrar cómo se puede construir una estrategia de búsqueda más específica (refinada) para ser repetida en las diferentes bases de datos, partiendo de PubMed y la nueva versión de Scopus; además del uso de las bases Web of Science, CENTRAL de Cochrane y Epistemonikos, y algunos sitios web, para incrementar las opciones de búsqueda.
