Review of the biology, ecology, and taxonomy of the bees of the families Ctenoplectridae, Fideliidae, Oxaeidae, and Stenotritidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera)
Authors: Carlos Henrique Marchiori
Published: September 2023

The Ctenoplectridae are characterized by short tongues, modified scope, and large comb-like tibial spurs adapted to collect and carry a mixture of floral oils and pollen collect floral oil, pollen, and nectar from a few genera of the family Cucurbitaceae. However, three species are thought to be kleptoparasites. A family Fideliinae of bees that is diverse throughout the world. The bees belonging to this group have diversified nesting behavior, being able to build their babies in pre-existing cavities such as woods, rocks, and alone. Large, very rare, fast-flying, ground-nesting solitary bees. The Oxaeidae are restricted to the New World and there are several species in the Tropics. Apparently, all of its species are solitary. Bees have tegumentary exocrine glands in the abdomen, the tergal glands, distributed dorsally and the sternal glands ventrally. The Stenotritidae are large, densely hairy bees, that fly at high speed and make simple nests on the ground. They place masses of ovoid stores in the cells. These are arranged in rows and are covered with a waterproof secretion. The larvae do not spin cocoons. This work studies the biology, ecology, and taxonomy of the parasitoids of the families of bee Ctenoplectridae, Fideliidae, Oxaeidae, and Stenotritidae. In terms of the type of research source, we worked with scientific articles published in national and international journals. This modality of production, in addition to being commonly the most valued in the set of bibliographic production, is the most easily accessed.

Giant myxoid liposarcoma of the gluteal region: Resection and buttock reconstruction
Authors: Agarwal Amit , Kumar Tarun
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Soft tissue sarcoma in adult is a rare disease and it needs an interdisciplinary team management. Liposarcoma has mesenchymal origin and arises in the fatty tissue. Multiple histologic subtypes of liposarcoma are recognized, including myxoid liposarcoma. In two-third of the cases, this tumor occurs in the muscle while often demonstrating a misleading benign appearance. Myxoid liposarcoma occurs predominantly in the deep soft tissues of the extremities and has the ability of metastasis to a wide range of soft tissue. Surgery is the main therapeutic modality in treatment of soft tissue sarcoma.

Case Report: Presenting an exceptional case of a 50-year-old woman with history of painless large swelling of size 28×21×13 cm in left gluteal region since one year with rapid progression over three months. It was diagnosed as low grade myxoid liposarcoma of the left buttock. This is the largest reported case of myxoid liposarcoma of extremities in Asia found in literature. The patient was treated with complete excision of tumor with gluteus maximum muscle. Gluteus minimus flap was elevated to cover the exposed sciatic nerve and buttock recontouring was done as single procedure for aesthetically favorable results followed by post-operative radiotherapy and necessary follow-ups.

Conclusion: Buttock contouring done post-resection as single procedure is more acceptable by the patient and has got superior aesthetic results.
Combined superior and inferior dermoglandular flaps for projection enhancement in giantic breast amputation and free nipple areola graft
Authors: Almeghawesh Yamen

Giantomastia has been a pathological condition in which excised breast tissue weighs more than1.5 kg per breast or when breast weight surpasses three percent of body weight. epidermis & Cooper's ligaments, which support breast tissue, expand as a result of breasts becoming heavier & larger, which causes breast ptosis. Numerous methods for correcting gigantomastia have been discovered. amputation for decreased studied cases who complain of gigantomastia & severe ptosis (space among nipple & inframammary fold exceeds twenty-five cm) are only eligible for mammaplasty with free nipple-areola grafting. purpose of that surgery is to achieve breast shape size that is acceptable while also relieving pain & suffering brought on by excessive breast tissue hypertrophy. flat, boxy breasts with poor projection is the main drawback of that treatment. Several flaps, including superior, inferior, medial, superomedial,& lateral-based flaps combined with wise-pattern skin excision, are employed to address this drawback.
The Ideology of Social Traditionalism (Social Tradition)
Authors: Shchipkov A. V.
Published: September 2023

The Ideology of Social Traditionalism (Social Tradition) scientifi c manifesto off ers a modern concept of traditionalism. Today, this line is based on the principles of “double” social solidarity: both between contemporaries (horizontal solidarity) and intergenerational (vertical solidarity). The idea of the fi rst type of solidarity has historically evolved against the background of the leftist thought. The second type of solidarity dates back to classical traditionalism. It insists on placing the priority on the historical heritage, traditional values and on the rejection of historical gaps in public life. According to the author, the relevance of social traditionalism (social tradition) is growing as the crisis of neoliberal globalism deepens and currently observed deglobalization processes accelerate. The opposition of the ideas of social justice and traditional values is one of the false alternatives imposed on the society. It emerged and is still maintained within the framework of the ideology of neoliberalism, which is now in a state of decay. The article highlights the common value basis of colonialism, Nazism and neoliberal globalism. A way out of the historical impasse is possible if two conditions are met: the neoliberal ideology must be rejected and the cultural and spiritual connection with the native tradition — authentic Christianity — must be restored. After the ideological paradigm and the socioeconomic model are changed, the synthesis of socialist and traditionalist ideas can take priority in the society. The right-wing traditionalism needs to be opposed to the left-wing social traditionalism, in which the ethics of justice comes fi rst. Instead of the classic triad “conservatism—liberalism—socialism”, the society will have to develop within another political triangle: “nationalism—socialism—traditionalism”. Social traditionalism assumes the equality of nations, peoples and cultures, aff irms their incomparability, incommensurability and uniqueness. It also advocates the society governed by the social justice and supports the overcoming of painful historical gaps in the life of each people. The author proceeds on the basis that “tradition is a set of ways to preserve the historical continuity based on endowing inheritance procedures with ethical meaning”. Tradition is a method of social and cultural construction rather than a subject of restoration. The basis of the Russian (Russian-Byzantine) tradition and identity can be defi ned using the well-known formula by Max Weber as follows: “Orthodox Ethics and the Spirit of Solidarity”.
The Program of Alexander Shchipkov’s Social Tradition or Synthesis of Left Wing and Conservatism: Its Opportunities
Authors: Pushchaev Yu. V.
Published: September 2023

The article explores the concept of the social tradition and the program of the synthesis of the left wing and conservatism put forward by the political philosopher, publicist and public fi gure Alexander Shchipkov. These subjects are assessed as a logical and appropriate attempt to formulate a conservative ideology that would be actual for modern Russia while relying on the historical experience and social background of the country and corresponding to the Russian history of the 19th–20th centuries. The term “Social Tradition” is similar to the term “Synthesis of Left Wing and Conservatism”, where “social” is loaded with positive and moderate leftist content, as far as it can be deemed possible to combine it with traditional and historically conservative content. The term “tradition” can be characterized here by what is usually understood in this concept as conservatism. The paper notes the importance of the Soviet specifi cs and the correct assessment of the Soviet period of the Russian history for the successful possibility of this synthesis. The article briefl y discusses the attempts of synthesis of socialism (left wing) and conservatism (tradition and traditionalism) that preceded in the history of the Russian social thought. It also points out a problem this program has: the left tradition demands the total equality, both economic and social, while the classical conservatism has always insisted on the principles of hierarchy and class stratifi cation of the society. In this regard, the essential eclecticism of this program put forward by Alexander Shchipkov can be noted. At the same time, it is emphasized that the time of integral classical conservatism, which directly relied on religion and class stratifi cation of the society, is now the irrevocable yesterday. Today, in a sense, we are condemned to eclectic conservatism and attempts to combine incompatible. Social traditionalism or synthesis of left wing and conservatism, fi rstly, takes the best from diff erent ideologies, and, secondly, best corresponds to the Russian history of the 19th-20th centuries. The ideological integrity goes away along with the “age of ideologies”. The ideological eclecticism comes to replace it, and nobody knows for how long. This can be taken as a transition step to something new and yet unknown.

Introduction. Despite the improving diagnostic criteria for the chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), its verification is still an issue.
Objective: to study the rate and the causes of CIDP misdiagnosis.
Materials and methods. We prospectively and retrospectively analyzed the clinical and paraclinical data of 223 patients admitted to the Research Center of Neurology from 2018 to 2022 with a CIDP referral.
Results. We revised the CIDP diagnosis in 150/223 patients (67%; median age 55.5 [43; 63] years; 75 males and 75 females; 3-year follow-up history [1.75; 5.25].) Once the definitive diagnosis was clarified, we divided the patients into the following groups: polyneuropathy of other etiology (n = 94; 63%), other neuromuscular disorders (n = 39; 27%), CNS disorders (n = 10; 7%), no structural NS disease (n = 7; 5%). Patients did not meet the 2021 EAN/PNS diagnostic criteria at the history-taking stage in 65% of cases, at the neurological examination stage in 39% of cases, and at the electroneuromyography stage in 92% of cases.
Conclusions. The rate of CIDP misdiagnosis in Russia is 67%, and most often this refers to patients with polyneuropathy of other etiologies. The main cause for the CIDP misdiagnosis was inaccurate electroneuromyography. We should bear in mind that CIDP is a rare disorder with an extensive differential diagnosis, so it should be verified according to the current 2021 EAN/PNS diagnostic criteria.

Introduction. Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) as well as the Alzheimer's disease (AD) and their comorbidities are the most common causes of cognitive impairments (CIs).
Objective: to evaluate the predictive power of the biochemical neurodegeneration markers in patients with CSVD and AD.
Materials and methods. We assessed the following neurodegeneration markers in 68 patients with CSVD (61.0 8.6 years; 60.3% males), 17 patients with AD (65.2 8.3 years; 35.3% males), and 26 healthy volunteers (59.9 6.7 years; 38.5% males): neuron-specific enolase (NSE), glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP), neurofilament light polypeptide (NEFL) in blood (for all patients) and in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF; in patients with CSVD and AD). We assessed the predictive power of those markers with ROC analysis.
Results. As compared to the control group, serum GFAP in patients with CSVD showed its predictive power at 0.155 ng/ml (sensitivity 74%; specificity 70%). Serum NEFL 0.0185 ng/ml (sensitivity 82%; specificity 96%) and NSE 4.95 g/ml (sensitivity 77%; specificity 71%) showed their predictive power in patients with AD. CSF GFAP 1.03 ng/ml (sensitivity 84%; specificity 88%), CSF NSE 19.10 g/ml (sensitivity 88%; specificity 91%), serum NEFL 0.021 ng/ml (sensitivity 71%; specificity 76%), serum NSE /CSF NSE ratio 0.273 ng/ml (sensitivity 87%; specificity 88%) help differentiate CSVD from AD.
Conclusions. We found that serum GFAP can be a useful diagnostic marker in patients with CSVD, while serum NEFL and serum NSE can help identify the AD. In addition, CSF GFAP and CSF NSE as well as serum NEFL and serum NSE/CSF NSE can help differentiate CSVD from AD. We can use those markers in clinical and research practice to identify the vascular and neurodegenerative causes of CIs and their comorbidities, which is of a great importance in developing specific treatment and predicting the course of the disease.
adjetivación del paisaje sonoro del Maestro Roncador en la Arquitectura y el Urbanismo
Authors: Daumal i Domènech Francesc
Published: September 2023

Los paisajes sonoros presentan una alta variabilidad, tanto física como temporal. Abarcan los pertenecientes a los fenómenos naturales, y meteorológicos, pero cobran mayor envergadura cuando nos referimos a los elemento bióticos y los ecosistemas naturales. Se extienden por todo el planeta, y varían con la construcción y transformación que el ser humano realiza de todo cuanto le rodea, y de la evolución de los lenguajes que este utiliza para sus comunicaciones. Esta variabilidad también abarca esta cuarta dimensión.

En este artículo, se realiza un debate sobre la forma de entender el paisaje sonoro por el protagonista de la obra “Paisajes Sonoros del Maestro Roncador” editado por la SEA en febrero 2020, y el inicial del “Maestro Roncador”, editado por la SEA en 2014, y se ponen en solfa especialmente los adjetivos y caracteres sonoros que pueden darse a los distintos espacios, especialmente ahora después de la irrupción del silencio impuesto por el confinamiento de la pandemia que hemos sufrido por el coronavirus.

Published: September 2023

La demanda mundial de energía crece consistentemente a la par del desarrollo social y económico, conduciendo a aumentar las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) como el dióxido de carbono (CO2). Reemplazar o apoyar instalaciones de generación de energía eléctrica basadas en combustibles fósiles con opciones de energía renovable, como la energía solar fotovoltaica, reduciría las emisiones de GEI, minimizando los efectos del cambio climático y además promoviendo el desarrollo de las comunidades urbanas y rurales. México se encuentra ubicado en una región con una radiación solar muy alta (cinturón solar), siendo un país muy atractivo para las instalaciones fotovoltaicas. Chihuahua es uno de los estados con mayor radiación, dada su vasta área, se ha requerido un estudio más detallado para identificar las zonas de mayor potencial fotovoltaico. En esta investigación se construyó un modelo de geoprocesamiento utilizando el software ArcGIS® 10.2.1. El modelo fue capaz de identificar y clasificar claramente 8,660 km2 de áreas con alto potencial fotovoltaico; en perspectiva, el estado de Chihuahua requeriría sólo 23.74 km2 para satisfacer plenamente su demanda de generación eléctrica, lo que refleja la abundancia del recurso natural en Chihuahua y su potencial fotovoltaico.

Authors: Azalmad Nor-Eddine
Published: September 2023

The primary objective of this research is to examine the impact of vocabulary size and vocabulary depth on reading performance in an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) context. To this end, we administered three tests to a group of 92 engineering students enrolled at the National Graduate School of Arts and Crafts (ENSAM) in Meknes, Morocco. The tests included the Vocabulary Size Test developed by Nation and Beglar (2007), the Words Associate Test designed by Read (1998), and a reading performance test with a high-reliability score of .87. The collected data was subjected to statistical analysis using linear regression and Pearson correlation. The findings revealed significant correlations between both vocabulary size and vocabulary depth with reading performance. Interestingly, the results indicated that vocabulary depth exhibited a stronger predictive association with reading performance compared to vocabulary size.
Labels and package inserts – A study to determine if official guidelines are being followed by pharmaceuticals in India
Authors: Sharma Christian , Lohar Pravin , Zende Ajit
Published: September 2023

Background: A package insert is a document within a medication package that provides information about the product. Labels similarly covey information regarding the product but are printed on the packaging rather than separately within.

Aims and Objectives: This study aimed to determine whether pharmaceuticals in India adhere to the national guidelines laid down by CDSCO with regards to the packaging and labeling of drugs.

Materials and Methods: 100 drugs (labels + package inserts) were collected within duration of 1 month, beginning June 6th, 2023,–July 5th, 2023, from the central drug store of a tertiary care government hospital and nearby pharmacies. After entering pertinent data into a Microsoft Excel sheet, analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics.

Results: Most companies (in and around 70%) followed requirements with respect to drug labels barring “warning about the drug” and use of the “red line,” while package inserts showed divisive results, with patient-centric information such as posology, special warnings, and contraindications being followed by more than 80% of the manufacturer’s while taking a backseat with regards to technical details such as shelf life and incompatibilities.

Conclusion: Labels and package inserts do largely convey the information that they intend to, with scope for improvement from both companies and regulatory authorities in order to perfect the balance of information conveyed.
The therapy for urogenital tuberculosis
Authors: KULCHAVENYA Ekaterina , ÇEK Mete
Published: September 2023

Tuberculosis (TB) is a communicable disease that is a major cause of ill health. Urogenital TB was a frequent urological disease in the

pre-antibiotic era: about 20% of patients in urological hospitals had renal TB, mostly in the form of pyonephrosis.

We composed a narrative review of the literature with keywords “urogenital tuberculosis’, “prostate tuberculosis” “kidney tuberculosis”,

“treatment of tuberculosis”.

Urogenital TB (UGTB) includes TB of the kidney and the urinary tract and male and female genital TB. Each clinical presentation

requires tailored antibiotic therapy depending on stage and general management. Anti-TB therapy should be multicomponent,

continuous, long-lasting and controlled with a follow-up for 2-3 years. Otherwise, the risks of development of drug-resistance and

relapse increase.

Index of suspicion on UGTB is generally low, causing a delay in diagnosis; consequently, complicated forms of UGTB respond

poorly to anti-TB therapy, while timely diagnosed “minor” forms are curable medically without surgery. Even with timely diagnosed

UGTB, non-optimal therapy may result in over-fibrosis, scarring and strictures of the urinary tract, making surgical repair inevitable.

Nevertheless, we have a wide enough spectrum of anti-TB drugs to cure urogenital TB.
Unravelling Haptic Visuality and Notions of Care Through Two Videos About Death
Authors: Walker Anna , Milne Jo
Published: September 2023

In this collaborative paper, artists Jo Milne and Anna Walker discuss the haptic visual through 2 videos: “Death as a Reforming” (Milne, 2022), and “Proposition 4: Red is the Colour of Pomegranates” (Walker, 2020). The artists utilize Laura Marks’ concept of the haptic as a component of inquiry to understand grieving, death, and loss. In addition, they extend Maria Puig de la Bellacasa's idea of haptic technologies as matters of care, arguing for a notion of care that extends beyond life and the living, to incorporate death and dying.

A Study on the Inheritance Status and Enhancement Path of Chinese Ancient Poetry Art Songs Integrated into Vocal Music Teaching in Contemporary Colleges and Universities
Authors: Zhao Xin
Published: September 2023

Traditional culture with refined and meaningful words, beautiful verses and rich connotations. As a product of the fusion of East and West, Chinese ancient poetry art songs is a perfect fusion of the profound Chinese poems and Western elegant music creation techniques, which is the continuous development of the excellent traditional Chinese culture. Colleges and universities, as the main channel for the training of high-quality music talents, shoulder the important responsibilities of talent training, cultural inheritance and scientific research. Since the birth of Chinese ancient poetry art songs, there have been high requirements in vocal singing, mood shaping and cultural expression, etc. Therefore, integrating Chinese ancient poetry art songs into vocal teaching in colleges and universities can not only improve the students' vocal singing level and comprehensive cultural literacy, but also enhance the students' cultural self-confidence in learning and singing. However, it is found that the inheritance status of Chinese ancient poetry art songs integrated into vocal music teaching in colleges and universities is not optimistic, and there are problems such as insufficient attention of students, irrational curriculum facilities, lack of attention to the improvement of comprehensive quality, confusing use of teaching materials, and fewer opportunities for students to practise, and so on. Through the analysis of the causes, it is found that there are misunderstandings in the students' cognition, the teaching objectives are not clear enough, the teaching faculty is scarce, and the teaching ability needs to be improved. In view of the above problems, this study proposes that students should be guided to improve their value cognition and set up a correct sense of inheritance; teachers should clarify the teaching objectives and create a reasonable curriculum system; institutions should strengthen the training of teachers and enhance the ability of diversified teaching; institutions should encourage teachers to reasonably prepare teaching materials and provide a scientific teaching basis; and institutions and teachers should also actively develop practical activities and provide sufficient opportunities for exercise.

Factores de impacto positivo sobre el bienestar subjetivo al realizar un deporte competitivo en deportistas con discapacidad física en Argentina
Authors: Bogado Diego Javier , Villalba Federico José
Published: September 2023

El deporte competitivo tiene un impacto positivo en el bienestar subjetivo de las personas con discapacidad, aunque el análisis de tal impacto todavía es mínimo comparado con estudios realizados sobre personas sin discapacidad. Para contribuir a este objetivo 41 deportistas con discapacidad motora federados de Argentina, hombres y mujeres, completaron cuestionarios sobre “Motivos para la participación deportiva” adaptado al deporte paralímpico, presentado por Durand (1988) y la “Escala de identidad deportiva” de Brewer et al. (1993). Además, se complementaron los resultados con seis entrevistas. Los resultados destacan que las motivaciones personales para el desarrollo de habilidades y el factor de superación, estarían más incentivados en el deporte competitivo para promover efectos positivos sobre la calidad de vida de las personas. Asimismo, la percepción de autosuficiencia de los deportistas contribuye a que adquieran el compromiso con sus actividades deportivas, propiciando en ellos motivaciones orientadas a la concreción de proyectos y permanencia en el deporte. Por otro lado, el análisis de los datos obtenidos también permite expresar que los deportistas con discapacidad experimentan una sensación de descubrimiento cuando inician la actividad deportiva con fines competitivos, y que finalmente las metas de superación, el desarrollo de habilidades y de competitividad son los principales motivos para realizar el deporte y mantenerse en él. Aportar conocimiento sobre los efectos de la práctica deportiva a nivel competitivo favorecerá nuevas estrategias de abordaje y formación de recursos humanos en las diferentes instituciones en el campo de la discapacidad.

Gasoline engines have been widely used because of operating with stoichiometric ratio and lower exhaust emissions compared to compression ignition engines. However, thermal efficiency is less than diesel engines due to lower compression ratio. In the present study, the influences of methyl ethyl addition were researched on engine performance, CO, CO2 and HC emissions in a single cylinder spark ignition engine. For this purpose, the test engine was run at wide-open throttle, engine speeds of 2400, 2800, 3200, 3600, 4000 rpm and the variations of engine torque, effective power, specific fuel consumption (SFC), thermal efficiency, CO, CO2 and HC emissions were investigated. It has been observed that engine power and torque increase and SFC decreases as methyl ethyl ketone is added to gasoline. It was observed that the thermal efficiency at 2800 rpm increased by 6.47%, 13.81% and 19.51%, respectively, with MEK20, MEK30 and MEK40 test fuels compared to gasoline. As the methyl ethyl ketone ratio in the blended fuels increased, HC and CO emissions reduced compared to gasoline. As a result, it was seen that methyl ethyl ketone additive can be utilized easily in a spark ignition engine without making any modification.
