Meta-analysis of retrogradation effect on starches of white rice, and comparative study of different cooking oils and cooking methods on in vitro glucose release from white rice
Authors: Lian Yun Ping , Loo Keat Wei , Tan Thuan Chew , Lye Huey Shi
Published: July 2024

Cooling is a technique employed to reduce the high glucose release from white rice by altering the proportion of rapidly digestible (RDS), slowly digestible (SDS), and resistant (RS) starches. Retrogradation of the gelatinised starches to a crystalline structure increases the RS content that does not spike blood glucose on consumption. The meta-analysis showed that following different retrogradation durations, there were significant mean differences (MD), viz. an increase in RS (MD: 4.17 g/100 g, p < 0.00001) and decrease in RDS (MD: -7.09 g/100 g, p < 0.0001). The addition of cooking oil to rice retards the release of glucose due to the formation of an amylose-lipid complex (ALC), and together with retrogradation, further lowers glucose release. In the present work, palm oil (PO) and coconut oil (CO) were added to steamed rice by three methods: (A) stir-frying raw rice with oil before steaming, (B) adding oil in cooking water during steaming, and (C): stir-frying the steamed rice with oil, following by refrigeration at 4°C for 12 h. For nutritional composition, the moisture, fat, and carbohydrate contents of white rice were affected upon treatments. Besides, oil-treated rice released glucose slower than control in the in vitro digestibility test, showing increased RS and decreased RDS. Moreover, rice with CO added by Method A might serve as a potential prebiotic as it increased the growth of Lacticaseibacillus casei and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus in tandem with the decrease in oligosaccharides over 24 h. Coconut oil was the better cooking oil for reducing glucose release from white rice due to its greater ability to form ALC. The addition of CO via Method C is recommended as the lower moisture content in the rice aided formation of perfectly crystalline starch during retrogradation.
Left Testicular Torsion in an Undescended Left Testis in a 5-Year-Old Boy: A Case Report
Authors: Wewoli Bentil A. , A-iyeh Edmond , Nabare Clement J. , Afoko Akisbadek A.
Published: July 2024

Purpose: Testicular torsion is a urological emergency characterized by the twisting of the spermatic cord structures, and subsequent loss of blood supply to the ipsilateral testis leading to testicular ischemia and infarction. This condition, if not promptly treated, can result in permanent testicular damage. Within 6 hours from onset of testicular pain, testicular exploration is recommended.While testicular torsion is common in normally descended testes, its occurrence in an undescended testis is rare and poses unique diagnostic and management challenges.
Methodology: A 5-year-old male presented with a 6-hour history of severe left groin pain. Clinical examination revealed an empty left Hemiscrotum and a tender left groin swelling. Doppler ultrasound confirmed the absence of the left testis in the scrotum, locating it in the left groin with markedly reduced blood supply, suggestive of testicular torsion. Laboratory investigations, including a complete blood count, were within normal limits. Urgent surgical intervention involved detorsion and bilateral orchidopexy, leading to complete resolution of symptoms and an uneventful recovery.
Findings: This case highlights the diagnostic difficulties associated with testicular torsion in an undescended testis. The rarity of this condition necessitates heightened clinical suspicion in patients with cryptorchidism presenting with acute abdominal or groin pain. Relevant literature and case reports emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to salvage the affected testis. Doppler ultrasonography is the diagnostic modality of choice, though clinical suspicion should guide management due to the possibility of false negatives. Surgical intervention remains the definitive treatment, with timely detorsion and orchidopexy being crucial for favorable outcomes.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Testicular torsion in an undescended testis requires prompt recognition and multidisciplinary management to prevent long-term complications such as infertility. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for this condition in pediatric patients presenting with inguinal swelling and ipsilateral empty hemiscrotum. Early surgical intervention is essential for the preservation of testicular function and favorable patient outcomes.
Land use and beyond: unraveling environmental determinants of odonate assemblages in northeastern Algeria

Published: July 2024

Freshwater ecosystems, recognized as hotspots of biodiversity, are under increasing threat from human activities. Odonata, the iconic inhabitants of these ecosystems, are highly sensitive to changes in habitat morphology, hydrology and land-use dynamics. In this study, the odonate assemblages in four different regions in northeastern Algeria are investigated to identify the key environmental factors that influence them. These regions differ in terms of climate, altitude and land use. Over the course of the study, we documented twenty-one species, including ten Zygoptera and eleven Anisoptera, which together account for a substantial proportion (~47%) of regional odonate diversity. Species composition is correlated with habitat typology and land cover. Multivariate analyses revealed distinct ecological patterns, highlighting streambed width, flow velocity and, to a lesser extent, land cover and altitude as influential factors in assemblage segregation. This study underscores the importance of flow velocity, which is known to facilitate oxygen uptake by larvae and influence the distribution and composition of species. Altitude, a key factor influencing phenology, growth and development, and land use (including forests, urbanization, agriculture and pasture) are also identified as potential determinants of odonate assemblages. To effectively tailor conservation strategies to specific regional conditions around the world, the study emphasises the importance of identifying the key environmental factors affecting odonate assemblages.
Fragmento, memoria y escritura: Museo de la Bruma de Galo Ghigliotto
Authors: Cabrera Federico
Published: July 2024

Este artículo se propone analizar la configuración metafórica de la fragmentariedad en la novela Museo de la Bruma (2019) del escritor chileno Galo Ghigliotto desde una perspectiva teórica y metodológica que atiende al cruce entre prácticas literarias y discursos sociales. La hipótesis sostiene que la figura de la fragmentariedad (textual y simbólica) entrelaza temporalidades y territorialidades diversas que aluden a la escritura en sí misma como un dispositivo político y a la construcción de las memorias colectivas sobre las que se sostiene la idea de nación. De acuerdo con lo señalado, el análisis se presenta en dos grandes apartados referidos a la fragmentariedad de las historias que se cuentan y a la fragmentariedad de la trama narrativa. Por último, se apuntan una serie de reflexiones acerca del diálogo entre memoria, escritura e imaginación poética.
Ángel Guido, contraarchivista
Authors: Antequera María Florencia
Published: July 2024

Un impulso de archivo (Foster, 2017) nos conduce hacia Ángel Guido (Rosario, 1896-1960), quien dedicó su vida al nacionalismo cultural a través de la arquitectura, la escritura, la historia del arte, la docencia y gestión universitarias. En esta comunicación, nos interesa auscultar su ensayo definitivo (Antelo, 2007), nos referimos al volumen Redescubrimiento de América en el arte (1940), desde una perspectiva del contraarchivo, esto es, desde el trabajo de reescritura de relatos históricos que desmontan jerarquías y cánones de relatos hegemónicos (Cámara, 2022) e inscribirlos en un debate por un arte y una arquitectura emancipados, preocupación que atravesó a Guido desde su juventud. El ejercicio crítico que aquí proponemos incluye textos inéditos y la recuperación de otros no reeditados, en el marco de una tarea de largo aliento que venimos desarrollando. Ese archivo –americanista, euríndico– con el que Guido está maniobrando se coloca en el centro de una operación en curso, en las artes, que no consiste en transcender la tradicional problemática del coleccionismo, sino en dislocar sus usos (Antelo, 2014) para ir más allá del librocentrismo. Porque un archivo no se establece de una vez y para siempre: su situación será mejor la de un estado de archivación (Derrida, 1995), razón por la cual, la obra de Guido es, de alguna manera, una obra que no cesa de reescribirse.
Literatura, prensa y divulgación científica: Rubén Darío en Buenos Aires
Authors: Quereilhac Soledad
Published: July 2024

La circulación de los textos de Rubén Darío en la prensa latinoamericana y, en menor medida, europea, ha sido ponderada como emblemática de los procesos de emergencia del escritor profesional y de la paulatina autonomización de la literatura como práctica social específica. Sin embargo, sólo una porción de esa producción fue luego incorporada en libros publicados por el autor o en las posteriores compilaciones póstumas. La concepción de esta selección como su “obra literaria” lleva implícita, en su valoración y su jerarquización estética, la sustracción de los textos de su soporte original y, sobre todo, el borramiento del diálogo discursivo y de imaginarios que esos textos entablaron con otros, presentes en los mismos soportes o en soportes contiguos.
En este trabajo, me interesa analizar la forma en que algunos cuentos fantásticos de Rubén Darío, escritos y/o publicados en Buenos Aires en la última década del siglo XIX, se vincularon fuertemente con la información periodística y, de manera puntual, con la divulgación de novedades científicas, pseudocientíficas y técnicas que circulaban en diarios y revistas. Rubén Darío mantuvo un vínculo estrecho con la irrupción de esas novedades y supo tamizarlas en su literatura como material para la ficción narrativa; asimismo pareció captar con productiva sensibilidad el cruce de estas novedades científicas con la dimensión de los ocultismos y la religiosidad tradicional.
La revisión de estos relatos en el marco de su publicación original permitirá asimismo estudiar, a través de un caso particular, un proceso mayor: el desarrollo del género cuento en la Argentina, forma que se modernizó y consolidó “por fuera del libro”, en una permanente interacción entre, por un lado, la tradición literaria y, por otro, los condicionamientos y posibilidades que la prensa operó sobre esa forma narrativa.

Preemergent herbicides are a frequent weed control strategy. Considering different crop germinative fluxes, these products must present long-lasting weed control. This study evaluated preemergent herbicides in different germination fluxes of Merremia aegyptia, Mucuna aterrima and Ricinus communis when applied to different quantities of straw and different simulated dry periods. The experiment was conducted in a 4 × 2 × 2 factorial design with four replications. The treatments included four dry periods (0, 30, 60, and 90 days), two straw quantities (0 and 10 t ha 1), and two germination fluxes. The herbicides amicarbazone (1225 g ha-1), imazapic (147 g ha- 1), sulfentrazone (800 g ha-1), and tebuthiuron (900 g ha-1) were applied for preemergence weed control, and germination flush fluxes were evaluated at 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35 days after emergence (DAE) while verifying plant dry mass. Amicarbazone controlled less than 80% of the studied species at the 90-day dry period in the presence of straw. Imazapic did not present control residue for any of the species analyzed. Sulfentrazone showed the same control pattern at all germination fluxes, regardless of the amount of straw. Tebuthiuron successfully controlled all species in the first germination flush, exceeding 80% regardless of the amount of straw. Herbicides associated with straw quantities and dry periods have a significant impact on M. aegyptiaca, M. aterrima and R. communis.
Highlights:

The herbicide amicarbazone demonstrated efficacy in controlling during the first germination period of the three weed species.
The presence of sugarcane straw significantly influenced the herbicides' control efficacy, especially during prolonged dry periods.
The combination of straw and extended dry periods resulted in a reduction in control rates with tebuthiuron.

El objetivo del presente trabajo es comprender los contextos de uso de vasijas recuperadas en espacios residenciales del sector centro-occidental del valle de Santa María (Catamarca-Tucumán) durante el primer y segundo milenio d.C. (ca. 0-1500 d.C.). Se consideran la cantidad, la función, las representaciones visuales y el tamaño de las vasijas de los sitios arqueológicos Morro del Fraile, El Carmen 1 y El Carmen 2, así como las evidencias arquitectónicas y contextuales. La presencia de grandes ollas y tinajas junto a fogones amplios en espacios semiabiertos, como ocurre en el alero de Morro del Fraile y en el recinto 1-2 de El Carmen 1, podría indicar contextos de elaboración de comidas y/o bebidas que incluyeran a una mayor cantidad de personas que las que allí residían diariamente. En el mismo sentido podría considerarse la gran cantidad de vasijas de servicio identificadas en el recinto 1 de Morro del Fraile y en el recinto 2 de El Carmen 2 y el predominio de vasijas de servicio con representaciones visuales en todos ellos. La presencia de vasijas de servicio, en su mayoría, sin representaciones visuales en un recinto techado con un fogón pequeño, como ocurre en el recinto 13 de El Carmen 1, o junto a una olla de gran tamaño, como ocurre en el recinto 11 de El Carmen 1, pueden ser vistas ya sea como espacios de consumo domésticos utilizados diariamente o como espacios de procesamiento de bebidas y/o comidas para ser consumidas en un contexto comunal extra-doméstico.

FACTORES DE RIESGO Y PROTECTORES EN LAS CONDICIONES DE SALUD MENTAL EN LOS MIGRANTES QUE CRUZARON RECIENTEMENTE LA SELVA DEL DARIÉN
Authors: Bethancourt Pierroz Lionel Fabio , Santos-Figueroa Eloy M.
Published: July 2024

El ser humano emprende la migración por diversas motivaciones, ya sea a través de tierra, mar o aire, en solitario o en grupo, enfrentando caminos difíciles y condiciones adversas hasta alcanzar su destino. Es por ello que hemos realizado un estudio que tuvo como propósito analizar los posibles factores de riesgo y protectores involucrados en el desarrollo de condiciones de salud mental en migrantes apenas días después de atravesar la selva del Darién. Además, busca exponer las motivaciones comunes que llevan a una persona a cruzar esta selva, las vivencias durante esta travesía y la asistencia no gubernamental recibida en los refugios de Lajas Blancas y San Vicente, en Panamá. El tipo de investigación fue cualitativa, ya que se pudo interactuar con migrantes alojados en Lajas Blancas y San Vicente entre diciembre de 2022 y junio de 2023. Se recopilaron relatos a través de anotaciones, entrevistas, grupos de enfoque e historias de vida, siguiendo un diseño fenomenológico. Los resultados revelaron que algunos factores de riesgo para la salud mental de los migrantes podrían incluir la exposición a rutas peligrosas, haber sido víctimas de asaltos físicos y/o sexuales, presenciar muertes en la selva, experimentar dificultades para conciliar el sueño y manejar emociones como ansiedad, tristeza, culpa y miedo. Por otro lado, se identificaron factores protectores que podrían mitigar el riesgo de desarrollar problemas de salud mental en los migrantes, como el viajar en grupo, recibir atención médica gratuita en los puntos de recepción migratoria, contar con una red de apoyo y recursos económicos. Se considera explorar la relación causal entre estos factores de riesgo y protectores y el deterioro de la salud mental de los migrantes para obtener conclusiones más precisas en futuras investigaciones.

Bu çalışmanın amacı sağlıklı genç bireylerde medial longitudinal arktaki değişikliklerin femoral anteversiyon açısı, denge ve hipermobilite arasındaki ilişkisi incelemektir. Çalışma Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi, Nezahat Keleşoğlu Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi’nde öğrenim gören 80 öğrencide (56 kadın, 24 erkek) yapılmıştır. Bireylerin demografik verileri alınmıştır. Medial longutudinal ark yüksekliğinin değerlendirmesi Ayak Postür İndeksi (APİ), dinamik denge Y denge testi, hipermobilite Beighton Hipermobilite skorlaması, fermoral anteversiyon açısı (FAA) Craig’s testi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Tüm bireylerin yaş ortalaması 20.78±2.37 yıl, FAA sağ 19.28°±3.04° iken FAA sol 19.06°±3.24°dir. APİ sağ 1.92±1.77, APİ sol 1.91±1.56 idi. Tüm katılımcılarda hipermobilite skoru 1,56±1,76 cm’dir. Yapılan istatistik çalışmasında cinsiyet, dominant ayak ve hipermobilite açısından bir ilişki bulunamamıştır (>0.05). Ayak postür indeksi ile femoral anteversiyon açısı arasında anlamlı ilişki yoktur (p>0.05). Sağ ile sol APİ ve sağ ile sol FAA arasında pozitif korelasyon bulunurken, APİ sağ ile dinamik posteromedial denge arasında negatif yönde korelasyon belirlenmiştir. Ayak postür indeksi femoral anteversiyon açısı ve hipermobilite ile ilişkili bulunmamıştır. Ancak ayak postürünün dinamik dengeyi posteromedial yönde etkilediği görülmüştür. Buna göre ayak değerlendirmelerinde dinamik dengeninde değerlendirilmesi ve gerekirse ayak postürüne yönelik egzersizlerinin dinamik denge egzersizleri ile desteklenmesi önerilir.

Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, sağlık profesyonellerinde iş stresi, psikolojik sağlamlık ve iş yeri arkadaşlık ilişkilerinin presenteeizmi yordama durumlarının cinsiyet bağlamında incelenmesidir. Araştırma, Sağlık Bakanlığına bağlı kurumlarda görev yapmakta olan 416 sağlık çalışanı (229 kadın, 187 erkek; 216 hemşire, 200 doktor) ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırma verileri, Stanford Presenteeism Scale, İş Stresi Ölçeği, Kısa Psikolojik Sağlamlık Ölçeği ve İş Yeri Arkadaşlık İlişkileri Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde çoklu regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Kadın sağlık profesyonellerinin presenteeism, iş stresi, psikolojik sağlamlık ve iş yeri arkadaşlık ilişkileri puan ortalamaları sırasıyla 19.26±4.43, 25.17±4.95, 17.92±4.35 ve 34.44±5.74 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Erkek sağlık profesyonellerinin presenteeism, iş stresi, psikolojik sağlamlık ve iş yeri arkadaşlık ilişkileri puan ortalamaları sırasıyla 17.71±4.61, 26.39±5.21, 18.84±4.13 ve 33.58±6.22 olarak hesaplanmıştır. İş stresi, psikolojik sağlamlık ve olumlu iş yeri arkadaşlık ilişkileri, kadın sağlık profesyonellerinde presenteeismin anlamlı birer yordayıcısıdır (FReg=19.621, p<0.01). Erkek sağlık profesyonellerinde ise sadece psikolojik sağlamlık presenteeismin anlamlı bir yordayıcısı iken, iş stresi ve iş yeri arkadaşlık ilişkileri presenteeismin anlamlı birer yordayıcısı değildir (FReg=20.825, p<0.01). İş stresi ve iş yeri arkadaşlık ilişkileri yalnızca kadın sağlık profesyonellerinde, psikolojik sağlamlık tüm sağlık çalışanlarında presenteeismin anlamlı birer yordayıcısıdır. İş stresini azaltan, iş yeri arkadaşlık ilişkileri ve psikolojik sağlamlığı artıran destekleyici çalışmaların cinsiyet özellikleri dikkate alınarak yapılması önerilmektedir.
Hemşirelikte Maneviyat ve Manevi Bakım
Authors: ARSLAN Siyabe , AVCI Sezer
Published: July 2024

Maneviyat (spiritüalite) kavramı hem birey hem de hemşirelik bakımı için çok önemli bir kavramdır. Maneviyat bireyin hayata bağlılığını, iyileşme hızını, psikolojik iyi oluşunu ve tedaviye uyumunu artırmaktadır. Fakat bu kavram yeni, soyut, öznel, kültürel ve toplumsal olarak değişebilen bir kavramdır. Bu nedenle tanımlanması ve anlaşılması güç bir kavram olmuştur. Bu derleme, hemşirelik alanında maneviyat ve manevi bakımın önemi ve hemşirelik alanında yapılan manevi bakım uygulamalarına ve manevi bakım konusundaki eksiklikleri incelemek amacıyla yazılmıştır. Hemşirelik alanında yapılan maneviyat ve manevi bakım uygulamaları literatür incelemesi Türkçe ve İngilizce dillerinde maneviyat, manevi bakım, hemşirelik anahtar kelimeleri yazılarak, Google Akademik, DergiPark ve Science Direct, YÖK Tez, EBSCO veritabanları kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Yapılan incelemeler neticesinde hemşirelik bakımında manevi bakımın eksik olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu eksikliğin nedeni hemşirenin çalışma koşulları, manevi bakım konusunda bilgi yetersizliği ve manevi bakım konusunda hemşirelerin bireysel olarak ve kültürel olarak farklılaşmasından kaynaklanmaktadır. Hemşirelik bakımında manevi bakıma verilen önemin artırılması ve bu bakımın kavranması için manevi bakım konusunda eğitimler, saha uygulamaları, vaka çalışmaları ve hemşirenin çalışma koşullarında iyileştirmeler yapılmalıdır.
METHODOLOGICAL VARIETY IN SENSORY-MOTOR INTERVENTIONS FOR REDUCING THE RISK OF FALLS IN THE ELDERLY
Authors: Albuquerque Ivelize , Silva Melissa Coutinho
Published: July 2024

Objectives: To analyze the diversity of sensorimotor exercises related to the methodology and results for reducing the risk of falling in the elderly, as well as to help guide new studies related to the theme in view of what is already being done. Methods: Researches were conducted in three databases: PubMed, Scielo and PEDro, using the following descriptors: elderly population, risk of falls, proprioception and sensoriomotor exercises. The inclusion criteria were considered randomized studies published from 2012 on in the languages: English and Portuguese associated with intervention groups. In the exclusion criteria, studies with pre-determined pathologies that did not have the free full text on the Internet were excluded. Results: In the 15 selected articles, 40% of the studies evaluated data between 30 and 50 participants; 27% opted for an intervention period between 12-14 weeks and only 1 study performed follow-up. High frequency proprioceptive training showed significant results with p <0.001. Interventions with activities related to games and Tai Chi expressed greater satisfaction with the treatment. Conclusion: Despite verifying complexity in a methodological uniformity, one can observe the great importance of sensoriomotor training as an intervention, as well as the scientific interest in seeking other Techniques that potentialize the outcomes, innovation and development of the area. Keywords: elderly populations; risk of the falls; proprioception; sensory exercises.

The study was conducted to investigate the Molecular Isolation of Theileria and Babesia Species and the Risk Factors associated with their infection in cattle at Makurdi and Abinsi in Benue State, Nigeria. Blood samples were collected randomly from 160 cows in three locations in Makurdi (Wadata, Wurukum, North bank and one location in Abinsi and examined for Theileria and Babesia infection using molecular methods. A questionnaire was used to assess the risk factors associated with the infections. The result of the PCR reaction indicated the presence of Theileria orientalis and Babesia bovis at 335 and 278 base pair respectively. Chi-Square statistical analysis was used to determine the significance of the prevalences of the infections among cattle. The results showed that Theileria orientalis was more prevalent than Babesia bovis with the prevalences of 11.25 and 7.50 respectively. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that management practices, acaricidal control on the farm, and the presence of other animals are statistically significant risk factors associated with an increased likelihood of infections in cattle. However, age and location was not statistically significant and sex showed marginal significance. In conclusion therefore, there was high prevalences of Babesia and Theileria species in cattle in Makurdi and Abinsi. Based on Molecular description it is therefore recommended that farmers should implement more effective tick control measures in the Abinsi and Makurdi area of Benue State, Nigeria to reduce the vectors responsible for transmitting Theileria and Babesia species furthermore, farmers should be educated to know the importance of regular tick control practices against the infection.
