Some Aspects of the Biology of Sarotherodon melanotheron and Tilapia guineensis inhabiting Mahin Lagoon, Nigeria
Authors: Ajibare Adefemi Olatayo
Published: January 2024

Studies on fish biology are important because they help determine the best management strategy to use in order to conserve fish species in their natural habitat. Thus, some aspects of the Biology of Sarotherodon melanotheron and Tilapia guineensis in the Mahin Lagoon were covered in this study. For the study, 121 fish samples were collected. The sex ratio of S. melanotheron (1:1.64) and T. guineensis (1:1.36) showed no significant deviation from the expected 1:1. Fecundity ranged from 243 to 1223 in S. melanotheron and 156 to 600 in T. guineensis with means of 344.39±166.85 and 286.27±114.85 respectively indicating low fecundity in both species. Observed Gonado-Somatic Index (6.40±3.25% for T. guineensis and 5.65±3.31% for S. melanotheron) suggested the peak of gonad maturity. The regression equation of the length-weight relationship indicated that S. melanotheron exhibited negative allometric growth in male (b=1.66, R2=0.63), female (b=2.80, R2=0.83) and combined sex (b=2.55, R2=0.78) while T. guineensis exhibited positive allometry in male (b=3.05, R2=0.97), female (b=3.04, R2=0.95) and combined sex (b=3.04, R2=0.96). The condition factor was greater than 2 for both species. This study also revealed that the fecundity of the two species was size dependent. Examination of stomach fullness revealed that 4.2% and 0.0% of S. melanotheron and T. guineensis had empty stomachs while 20.0% and 3.8% had full stomachs respectively. This study therefore established that the study area was conducive for the fish. Monitoring and regulation of the fisheries is therefore recommended for conservation and management of the study area.

Published: January 2024

El estrés se define como la reacción a nivel psicológico y físico, que el cuerpo experimenta frente a un estímulo, que puede ser un evento, una persona u objeto; existen diferentes factores que pueden provocar estrés: psicosociales, biológicos, químicos y ambientales. Así, calidad de vida se entiende como la apreciación personal del conjunto de condiciones que favorecen el bienestar personal y comunitario. Por lo que, aspectos relacionados al estrés pueden afectar la calidad de vida de las personas. Además, existe evidencia de que las comunidades indígenas presentan índices más elevados de vulnerabilidad en salud, discapacidad y una disminución en su calidad de vida, lo que resulta en una esperanza de vida considerablemente inferior en comparación con el resto de la población. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la relación entre estrés y calidad de vida en adultos de una comunidad indígena del Sur de Sonora, México. Participaron 103 personas pertenecientes a una comunidad indígena, de los cuales 52.4% eran hombres y 47.6% mujeres con una media de edad de 44 años. Se encontraron niveles medio-altos respecto a estrés y calidad de vida, así como una asociación negativa y significativa entre las variables evaluadas; no se identificaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre estrés y calidad de vida y el sexo de los participantes. Se concluye con la importancia de profundizar en la línea de investigación propuesta, así como retomar los resultados como base para posibles intervenciones enfocadas en mejorar la calidad de vida y salud mental de las poblaciones indígenas.

Authors: Bakeer Mohammed Hassan Nashat Mohammed , Maklady Fathi A. , Kamal Hanan M. , Gawwad Ihab Magdeldin Abdel , Mahmoud Islam Zakareya
Published: January 2024

Background: Left ventricular mass and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) is an index reflecting the thickness of the cardiac muscle, and the E/e’ ratio is a specific indicator for identifying increased left ventricular filling pressure. Limited data exist regarding the prognostic value of incorporating left ventricular mass index in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Aim: This study aimed to assess diagnostic value of LVMI at rest versus diastolic stress echo results in patients with HFpEF. Patients and methods: This study is a cross sectional descriptive study. In our study, we investigated 80 patients with unexplained exertional dyspnea with normal resting LV filling pressure at rest. Some of these patients may show elevated LV filling pressure with exercise. The current guidelines recommend to do diastolic stress echocardiography for those patients. All patients underwent complete resting echocardiography including assessment of diastolic dysfunction using the recommended 2016 guidelines and left ventricular mass index. Then we did diastolic stress echocardiography for all participants and the result of diastolic stress echocardiography was compared with the  resting LVMI results.

Published: January 2024

La necesidad de conocer cuáles son las especies que presentan mayor amenaza, a cuáles especies destinar esfuerzos y recursos para su recuperación, ha motivado llevar a cabo estas evaluaciones. Uno de los recursos naturales más importantes es el suelo. Los estudios de suelos pueden utilizarse para determinar la adaptabilidad de tierras nuevas para la colonización o para proyectos de conservación de las especies tanto endémicas, como especies de importancia en Honduras. Coccoloba cholutecensis es una planta endémica de Honduras, que se encuentra en peligro crítico según la UICN. Una de las regiones que se puede localizar C. cholutecensis es en el municipio de Cofradía, Francisco Morazán. El objetivo de estudio es determinar las condiciones edáfico-ambientales de la especie C. cholutecensis y obtener datos científicos esenciales para su conservación ex- situ. Para el análisis del suelo se tomaron 10 sub-muestras con un corte de 20 centímetros de profundidad. Los resultados muestran un pH ligeramente ácido, poca cantidad de Materia Orgánica y con presencia de distintos macronutrientes. La utilización de las áreas para ganadería, pastoreo, además de incendios forestales en la zona, han provocado que las condiciones edáfico-ambientales del área sean alteradas, afectando el hábitat de C. cholutecensis.

La decollazione di San Paolo di Luigi Amidani
Authors: Pullini Massimo
Published: January 2024

La decapitazione di San Paolo sta per essere eseguita, con l'apostolo inginocchiato a terra con le mani legate e il mantello rosso sceso. La scena si svolge vicino a architetture monumentali che ricordano la tradizione agiografica del martirio fuori dalla città. Il pittore, Luigi Amidani, utilizza contrasti chiaroscurali e stilizzazioni formali in un linguaggio di Maniera che è anacronistico per l'epoca barocca. La singolare coincidenza del 1629 vede Amidani scomparso da ogni documento italiano e molte opere del pittore trovate in territorio spagnolo, suggerendo una sua collaborazione con la causa iberica.

Published: January 2024

The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and awareness of healthcare workers about the prevention and transmission of hepatitis B virus. The study was conducted in Nishtar Medical Hospital, Multan, from January 2023 to September 2023 and included 300 healthcare workers, such as doctors and nurses. The participants were asked to fill out a 50-question questionnaire designed to test their knowledge about hepatitis B. The questionnaire was in English, but assistance was provided if needed. The questions were related to the virus, behaviors, and medical practices when treating infected patients, and it took an average of 30 minutes to complete. The results showed that 74% of the healthcare workers knew the consequences and possible complications of acquiring HBV infection. Between 69% and 80% of the respondents answered correctly about the transmission routes. However, only 24% of the HCWs knew the age distribution of the infections and that neonates were at the highest risk of developing it through mother-to-child transmission. Respondents answered wrongly about transmission through food and cutlery with the infected (69%), through sneezing and coughing (81%), prevention of infection by thorough cleaning (50%), and not sharing food and cutlery with the infected (55%). Only half of the workers knew about disposing of needles and syringes correctly. The average knowledge score was 24 ± 5 with a median score of 24 (10-33). Respondents performed the worst when answering questions about CHB monitoring and treatment. In conclusion, this study found that the awareness and knowledge about hepatitis B prevention and transmission among healthcare workers in Pakistan is poor. Therefore, it is recommended to make training programs mandatory for professionals to improve disease management.

Published: January 2024

Corruption in law is a chronic issue with corrosive effects. In Indonesia, there institutions involved in handling criminal acts of corruption; the prosecutor`s Office, the Police, and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). However, corruption cases in Indonesia continue to increase and fluctuate in their eradication efforts. The KPK is the main institution tasked with combating corruption in Indonesia, but it is perceived as not yet maximizing the seizure of assets resulting from corrupt activities. Singapore has a reputation for being stringent in combating corruption, boasting a powerful anti-corruption institution known as the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB), which holds authority to investigate and prosecute corruption cases without political intervention. Hong Kong has an Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) that has significantly succeeded in eradicating corruption. A comparative study of laws regarding the confiscation of assets resulting from acts of corruption in Indonesia, Singapore, and Hong Kong is needed to identify similarities, differences, and to analyze the similarities and differences in asset seizure resulting from corruption between the Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission and the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau Singapore, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption Hong Kong

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) have shown an increase in incidence worldwide. The pathogenesis of IBD is that genetically susceptible individuals develop intolerance to dysregulated gut microbiota (dysbiosis) and chronic inflammation develops as a result of poor dietary triggers. Diet plays an important role in modulating the gut microbiota and can be applied as a therapeutic tool to improve the course of the disease. Objective: It was to carry out a systematic review of the main interactions between nutrology, gut microbiota, and inflammatory bowel disease, to elucidate the main clinical outcomes of the disease after nutrological treatment, analyzing the main macro and micronutrients. Methods: The PRISMA Platform systematic review rules were followed. The search was carried out from August to October 2023 in the Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: 144 articles were found. A total of 39 articles were evaluated in full and 30 were included and developed in the present systematic review study. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 27 studies with a high risk of bias and 22 studies that did not meet GRADE and AMSTAR-2. Most studies showed homogeneity in their results, with X2=59.9%>50%. With nutritional treatment, several micronutrients have the potential to modulate intestinal inflammation. Immunonutrition has demonstrated its importance through vitamins A, C, E, and D, folic acid, beta-carotene, and trace elements such as zinc, selenium, manganese, and iron. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet, fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyol diet, and the Mediterranean diet also appear to show strong anti-inflammatory properties and promise to improve symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease. Diet modulation can control IBD by reducing persistent intestinal symptoms, balancing the gut microbiota, and reducing markers of inflammation. Dietary therapy can improve the quality of life of IBD patients.
Review on Nutrient Contents and Health Benefits of Wheatgrass Juice
Authors: Tullo Abe , Abera Solomon
Published: January 2024

The main aim of this review is to provide an overview of the nutrient contents and health benefits of grain wheat for wheatgrass juice. Wheatgrass juice is the young grass of the common wheat plant (Triticum aestivum) freshly juiced for human consumption. Wheatgrass growing and preparation of its juice in our homes in both rural and urban areas is easy and convenient. Wheatgrass is grown in trays to preserve its quality when delivered to food establishments. When the wheatgrass reached a height of above 7 inches, they are cut a half inch above the surface of the soil and harvested for wheatgrass juice production after 8 days from grain sowing or 13 days from grain soaking. The wheatgrass juice is extracted by manual or electric juicer and filtered to remove the suspended matter. Wheatgrass juice is a complete food that contains chlorophyll, proteins, minerals like K, Ca, Fe, Mg, Na, P, and S, vitamins such as A, B, C, and E, bioflavonoids, enzymes, and 17 forms of amino acids. The pH factor of the wheatgrass juice and human blood is 7.4, which may be the reason why wheatgrass juice is quickly absorbed into the blood. Wheatgrass juice is used for treating protein-energy malnutrition, micronutrient deficiency, and chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular, thalassemia, and cancer of any organ. In addition, wheatgrass juice is an excellent antioxidant due to the presence of 70% of chlorophyll.

Authors: Türk Hakan , Arslan Erkan
Published: January 2024

Cystoscopy is a very effective diagnostic and follow-up method used during many urological procedures. Although the pain has decreased with the frequent use of the flexible cystoscope recently, it is a really uncomfortable method for some patients. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of penile block application on pain control during cystoscopy. In this study, the files of 157 male patients who underwent rigid cystoscopy for various reasons between March 2017 and June 2019 were retrospectively scanned. The patients were divided into two groups; those who underwent penile block and those who did not. A visual analog scale was used in all patients to evaluate pain levels. Group I contained 87 and Group II contained 70 patients. The mean pain score in Group I was higher (4.40±0.782) than that in Group II (1.84±0.681) this difference was statistically significant (p=0.032). The use of urethral lidocaine along with penile block has been shown to minimize pain during cystoscopy and increase the tolerability of this procedure.

Smart Cities: Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Ilyas Mohammad
Published: January 2024

The concept of smart cities has received a significant interest recently among researchers. United Nations reports that more than half of the world population currently lives in urban environment, and is estimated to increase to about 70% by 2050. This trend needs serious attention by governments to create solutions that will make sure that their citizens will continue to have sustainable and improved quality of life. Smart cities use all the available technologies to achieve that goal and to improve the efficiency of their operations. This massive undertaking of making existing cities smart and building the new smart cities, comes with many opportunities as well as some challenges. Digitization of services, smart operations, and connectivity are essential parts of smart cities. The smart cities will certainly promote cohesive, connected, healthier, and happier communities. This paper elaborates the opportunities and the challenges in moving the smart cities concept forward.
Cross-Cultural Online Networking Based on Biomedical Engineering to Motivate Transdisciplinary Communication Skills
Authors: Hashimoto Shigehiro
Published: January 2024

It is not possible to understand the whole with only a specialized field. The content is not always correctly conveyed to non-specialists. In this study, based on students' awareness of preparing for the future under a pandemic, understanding of the utility of masks against infectious diseases, and the transition of students' daily behavior under a pandemic, student group activity was carried out with the theme of "designing tools and systems to contribute to social life in pandemic". In addition, to motivate students to improve their transdisciplinary communication skills, cross-cultural online networking was carried out based on biomedical engineering as a multidisciplinary field.
Emotional Communication as Complex Phenomenon in Musical Interpretation – Proposal for a Systemic Model That Promotes a Transdisciplinary Process of Self-Formation and Reflection Around Expressiveness as a Lived Experience
Authors: Fernández de Velazco Fuensanta , Carpinteyro-Lara Eduardo , Rodríguez-Luna Saúl
Published: January 2024

For a long time, expressiveness in musical performance was a question of musical performance and research. It was difficult to explain why musicians arouse aesthetic emotions in their listeners with their interpretation. Even so, was more complex to explain why the performance of the same work by various artists provoked different emotional responses in listeners. Thanks to empirical research, our understanding of this phenomenon has improved. However, these theories and discoveries have not permeated teaching practice, so they have not yet taken a new direction in music teaching. In this paper, we proposed a new approach to expressiveness in musical interpretation in a systemic and complex way. For this, we propose a systemic model that allows us to observe the dynamic behavior of the phenomenon of emotional communication in musical interpretation. Furthermore, we suggest a systemic transdisciplinary didactic proposal to encourage the performer to develop their musical identity, reinforce their sensitivity and creativity, and enrich their expression and participatory intention in interpretation.
The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence in the Era of Generative AI
Authors: Kirova Vassilka D. , Ku Cyril S. , Laracy Joseph R. , Marlowe Thomas J.
Published: January 2024

In the early 2020s, advances in transformer-based deep neural networks enabled the development and growth of a number of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) systems notable for accepting natural language prompts as input. These include large language model chatbots such as ChatGPT, Bard, and others. GenAI has applications across a wide range of industries, including art, writing, software development, product design, healthcare, finance, gaming, and more. In this paper, we place these recent advances in a historical, cybernetic context. We analyze ethical issues that arise in the area of software engineering and cyber-physical systems. In addition, we explore AI-based challenges in healthcare and medicine, including a number involving GenAI. This research shows the importance of rigorous ethical analysis and resulting safeguards to address the emerging issues with AI.
Trans-Disciplinary Communication: Context and Semantics
Authors: Vieira Kritz Maurício
Published: January 2024

Science is split into subject-oriented disciplines that are grounded on varying shades of the scientific method. Being a social activity, communication lays at the creative core of the sciencebuilding process of facts and explanations. To communicate means, in its most seminal sense, to bring something in common between distinct parts or to transfer something from one part to another. This 'commonality,' or what lays in common to the parts, can occur not just among persons but also among persons and nature or persons and non-human things. This article starts discussing communication at the human scale from the very beginning, widening the scope from its inner kernel in individuals towards social interactions in the scientific community. The perspectives, concepts, and guidelines unveiled by this exercise are applied in the article's text itself.
A Brave New World: AI as a Nascent Regime?
Authors: Cowin Jasmin , Oberer Birgit , Leon Cristo
Published: January 2024

This transdisciplinary discussion draws parallels between Aldous Huxley's dystopian vision in his novel 'Brave New World' and the current era dominated by Large Language Models (LLM) and Generative Artificial Intelligence, scrutinizing its significant implications and potential effects. It explores how AI can influence human behavior, reshape societal norms, and potentially lead to the homogenization of linguistic expression. Highlighting the risks of unregulated AI-driven tools, the discussion stresses their potential to standardize and diminish the richness of human language, creativity, and authentic expression. The transformative potential of AI across various domains is recognized, with a strong emphasis on ethical considerations, democratic governance, and preserving core human values. Using 'Brave New World' as a literary framework, it advocates for a transdisciplinary dialogue to critically evaluate AI's impact on social ethos, logos, and pathos. The discussion underscores a global collective responsibility to utilize AI to enrich shared human experiences without compromising the nuances that define our identity and autonomy. It addresses the consequences of uniformity and stability, the role of technology and consumerism, emotional experiences, deep relationships, personal growth, and the threat of totalitarian control, with AI emerging as a nascent regime powered by opaque algorithms implemented by transnational, global companies. Serving as both a reflection on humanity's role in an automated age and a call to action, it advocates for a technological deployment that enhances, rather than diminishes, our inherent humanity.
The Role of Art and Science – Relational Dynamics in Human Ecology
Authors: Pizziolo Giorgio , Micarelli Rita
Published: January 2024

The proposal of this paper is articulated as follows: 1) Recognize Human Ecology as a reference of everyday social practices, from knowledge to the management of living environments.2) Consider ternary ecosystems Man Society Environment as complex disordered systems, relational dynamic structures, which interact with corresponding disordered systems and share the intrinsic prerogatives that unite them in the multiplicity of their becoming.3)Respond to the looming threats of mechanical simplification of spontaneous evolutionary phenomena progressively stifled by the Artificial World in which Ecosystems (Humans and Nature) are now immersed.4) Rediscover conditions of creative autonomy and appropriate stimuli for the Ecosystemic, unceasingly manifold becoming.5) Rediscover in people and human societies a sense of belonging to their Living Environments and the ability to manage, protect and promote their evolution, in an experiential dimension of Action-Research and self-Governance, beyond the current stereotypes of traditional politics and instrumentation and the new constraints posed by the Digital World to the World of Nature.6) Verification through cyclical self-monitoring of the processes activated (Action-Research) and their evolutionary and propagation potential in the different contemporary contexts of the ternary M/S/E Ecosystems affected by the Digital World.
