Campaña XXXI-2020 de excavaciones arqueológicas en Pintia (Padilla de Duero/Peñafiel)
Authors: Sanz Mínguez Carlos , Rodríguez Gutiérrez Elvira
Published: October 2024

Se ofrecen los resultados de la campaña de excavaciones arqueológicas desarrollada en la necrópolis de Las Ruedas de Pintia, en Padilla de Duero/Peñafiel (Valladolid) durante el verano de 2020. Por las circunstancias pandémicas sobrevenidas, la intervención se ciñó a un espacio reducido en el que se pudieron individualizar dos tumbas y un depósito votivo asociado a la mejor conservada, la 319. Esta tumba representa uno de los conjuntos más señeros hasta ahora exhumados, con una treintena de ajuares y ofrendas, de ellas 19 cerámicas y el resto metálicas, que integran armamento, elementos de aseo personal y otros relacionados con el banquete funerario, y parecen situarnos en un momento indeterminado del siglo III a. C.
Algunas reflexiones en torno a la alfarería vaccea

Una elevación junto a Peñafiel esconde restos que muestran una dilatada ocupación humana. Así, del Paleolítico Medio se han encontrado diversos materiales líticos que atestiguan que el lugar se utilizó como asentamiento referencial o campamento. Ya en época moderna, la planicie y su entorno sufrió una intensa actividad pastoril, como lo demuestra la existencia de numerosos restos de chozos, majadas y corrales, así como su proximidad a la red de cañadas.
Digital twin for decision support system of industrial utility management
Authors: Satjeenphong Thanatip , Panjapornpon Chanin , Bardeeniz Santi
Published: October 2024

Manufacturing and industrial operations rely heavily on energy that is generated mostly from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, which harm the environment and contribute to climate change. Thus, renewable energy is being integrated into industrial processes to lessen environmental effects and reduce fossil fuel usage. However, the renewable source performance process can be greatly affected by disturbances and constraints, such as ambient air temperature and relative humidity, minimum utility consumption, and the total energy required, making effective control difficult. This study proposes a digital twin built with machine learning regression techniques for load demand forecasting as a decision-support system for industrial utility management. From the results, the ensemble tree (ET) model produced the highest accuracy, based on validation and test dataset root mean squared error values of 23.164 and 27.558, respectively, and R2 values of 0.96 and 0.95, respectively. The digital twin and load demand forecasting approaches effectively created an efficient operating schedule for industrial utility management. The ET model had a total error of 23.86%, substantially lower than the average load demand's total error of 65.29%. Therefore, the ET model with weather conditions in four scenarios could be recommended to optimize energy utilization when creating the operating schedule.

Published: October 2024

The study examined the effect of macro-economic variables on economic growth in Nigeria between 1990-2022. Specifically, the paper examined the effect of Exchange rate on Economic growth in Nigeria and determined the effect of interest rate on Economic growth in Nigeria. The paper employed ex-facto research design, using secondary data and adopted SVAR model. The paper found out that interest rate has a significant effect on Economic growth (RGDP) in Nigeria, and found that exchange rate has a significant effect on Economic growth (RGDP) in Nigeria. The study concluded that macroeconomic variables has a significant effect on Economic growth in Nigeria. Based on the study’s findings and conclusions above, the following recommendations were made: the government should improve on her foreign reserves as an absolute measure that will stabilize exchange rate to boost economic environment for effective investment to thrive and contribute to gross domestic product in Nigeria, and interest rate is found to have increased the potentials of Economic growth in Nigeria. It is therefore important to note that since interest rate have significantly affected the Economic growth in Nigeria, the CBN should improve on discount rate to stabilize interest rate to boost economic environment for effective investment to thrive and contribute to gross domestic product in Nigeria.

Corticosteroids are steroid hormone derivatives produced by the adrenal glands. Corticosteroids in the health sector have been widely utilized as anti-inflammatory agents because of their strong and rapid effects. This study aimed to identify the impact of long-term corticosteroid use on eye damage. This study uses a systematic literature review, which is guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) to the article screening process.  The data of this study, in the form of demographic variables, route of administration, steroid type, comorbidities, and patient risk factors, were descriptively analyzed. As a result, 15 of the 22 articles were selected for analysis. Chronic corticosteroid administration may precipitate optic neuropathy, manifesting as glaucoma, which is characterized by progressive structural degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and concomitant visual function deterioration. The locus of primary pathological insult in glaucomatous conditions is the optic nerve head, specifically at the optic disc. This anatomical site is notable for the abrupt 90-degree angular deviation of RGC axons as they transition from the retinal nerve fiber layer to their trajectory within the optic nerve proper. The use of corticosteroids can damage ocular nerve tissue through an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) beyond 21 mmHg. This increase in IOP is due to changes in the microstructure of the trabeculum webbing, resulting in increased obstruction to the outflow of aqueous humor.

Pondok pesantren salafiah dewasa ini tengah dihadapkan kepada suatu kondisi masyarakat yang kecenderungannya telah berubah seiring dengan arus perubahan yang semakin cepat. Kenyataan ini pesantren harus melakukan adaptasi sosial, dengan melakukan lompatan dan transformasi sistem pendidikan dalam upaya menjawab tantangan dinamika masyarakat yang terjadi.
Salah   satu   optimalisasi   yang   sangat   perlu   dilakukan   adalah optimalisasi sistem pembelajaran dengan up greading dan akulturasi sistem yang sekiranya dapat mengout put lulusan santri yang mampu dalam waktu tidak terlalu lama sehingga kebutuhan masyarakat terhadap para santri lulusan pesantren terpenuhi dengan kualitas yang maksimal. Disisi lain acceletated learning merupakan salah satu model pembelajaan modern yang dinilai cukup efektip dalam melakukan percepatan pembelajaran. Yaitu suatu model pembelajaran yang sangat memperhatikan nilai nilai alamiah dalam diri manusia dan kaya akan teknik pembelajaran yang efektip. Untuk itu perlu dilakukan penelitian untuk mencoba menerapkan model Accelerated learning di Pesantren Salafiah.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sistem pembelajaran di pesantren salafiah juga, model Accelenraed Learning serta seberapa jauh tingkat kemungkinan penerapan Accelerated Learning di Pesantren Salafiah. Untuk mengumpulkan bahan kajian yang dibutuhkan dalam penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan pendekatan penelitian pustaka (library research) dengan menggunakan metode deskriftif. Data yang diketahui dalam penelitian ini adalah data kualitatif maka teknik analisis yang dilakukan adalah analisa isi (contens   analisis). Adapun   langkah-langkah   yang   dilakukan   adalah pertama, pengumpulan data yang didapat dari hasil kajian hasil kajian pustaka, baik dari sumber primer maupun sumber sekunder. Kedua, pemilihan dan pemilahan data yang diperoleh. Ketiga, menghubungkan data dengan konteks   yang sedang diteliti. Keempat, melakukan analisis data interpretasi.
Setelah penulis melakukan penelitian diperoleh data bahwa, sistem pembelajaran di pesantren salafiyah mengandung nilai-nilai Accelerated Learning namu belum tereksplor secara makimal, juga sistem pembelajaran di pesantren masih sangat dominan dalam tradisi baca / verbalistik sedangkan dalam   tradisi   tulis   masih   sangat   kurang.   Sedangkan   secara   prinsip Accelerated Learning telah terkandung dalam nilai-nilai dalam sistem pembelajaran pesantren. Sehingga pada prinsipnya model pembelajaran Accelerated Learning dapat di terapkan di Pesantren Salafiah dengan perubahan dan penyesuaian dalam tataran teknik, materi, dan tahapan, atau bisa disebut juga dengan akulturasi sistem bernama Accelerated Learning pesantren yang pada akhirnya menjadi model yang tepat, efektip, cepat dan akurat untuk diterapkan dipesantren.

Settlements, kinship and hunting grounds in traditional Greenland. A comparative study of local experiences from Upernavik and Ammassalik
Authors: Petersen Robert
Published: October 2024

Settlements, kinship and hunting grounds in traditional Greenland is a comparative study of the geographical mobility of hunters in the Upernavik and Ammassalik districts.
The periods dealt with are c. 1860 to 1970 for the Upernavik district and 1894 to 1970 for the Ammassalik district.
On the basis of the experiences of local hunters themselves, the study shows how kinship and social organization are important factors for the description of settlement patterns. When one compares the two districts, one finds that the strategies chosen and the results of expansion differ.
Social organization, economic solidarity and traditional rights of use are evaluated against the background of the incest prohibition and exchanges of knowledge.
The size of the hunting area of one local community is estimated, allowing for increases in population and the effect of bad hunting years, two factors crucial to the expansion of the hunting areas. The role of pioneers in the expansion process is described.
In the final chapters, the economy of hunting communities as part of modern Greenlandic society is studied. The economic status of the hunting communities as supplemented by wage income seems to be equivalent to that of the true hunting society,
but is controversial as compared with similar present-day communities. The economic situation in the 1990s is discussed for both areas.
The southernmost people of Greenland – Dialects and memories
Authors: Vebæk Mâliâraq
Published: October 2024

During the mid-20th century, old South Greenlanders still spoke their genuine dialects when Mâliâraq Vebæk, herself a South  Greenlander, born 1917, collected on tape stories and descriptions of pre-modern daily life from 23 informants. In this volume, the  texts appear in dialectal transcription and translated into English, as well as in sound on the inserted CD-Rom, containing the tape recordings.
Among the South Greenlandic dialects, the southernmost from the Cape Farewell region is now extinct and attracts particular interest,  because this area received emigrants from the gradually depopulated southeast coast during the 19th century. The so-called qavak-dialect of the Cape Farewell region thus became an interesting mixture of the southeast and southwest Greenlandic dialects.
This publication is targetted at linguists and is the first and only presentation of the South Greenlandic dialects. A phonological  introduction is offered for the benefit of the linguists, but any reader of English (or the dialects) interested in stories, Greenland etc.  can fully enjoy the texts.

COUR CANADIENNE DE L’IMPÔT ET ACCÈS À LA JUSTICE : BIEN AU-DELÀ DU SIMPLE TRIBUNAL ITINÉRANT
Authors: Provencher Annick
Published: October 2024

La Cour canadienne de l’impôt est le tribunal qui a, entre autres, compétence pour entendre les appels de cotisations d’impôt par les contribuables, au fédéral. Qualifié d’être parmi les domaines du droit les plus complexes au Canada, le droit fiscal est un domaine opaque et parfois incompréhensible même pour les contribuables les plus aguerris. Cette opacité, à elle seule, peut apparaître comme un frein à l’accès à la justice, surtout qu’un nombre important de contribuables se représentent seuls contre la partie intimée, l’Agence du revenu du Canada. La Cour canadienne de l’impôt compte tout de même des mesures visant à rendre le litige fiscal plus facilement accessible aux contribuables. La Cour canadienne est une cour itinérante qui se déplace dans plusieurs villes du Canada. L’accès géographique à la Cour est un aspect important dans l’accès à la justice mais n’est certainement pas le plus central. La Cour a mis en place une foule de mesures visant à diminuer les obstacles procéduraux pouvant empêcher les contribuables d’accéder pleinement au tribunal. Néanmoins, comme tente de le démontrer cet article, l’accès à la justice est une question qui se définit bien au-delà de ce que peut faire la Cour canadienne de l’impôt et doit impliquer toutes les parties prenantes dans une approche holistique.

Range geographies, not functional traits, explain convergent range and phenology shifts under climate change
Authors: Sirois-Delisle Catherine , Gordon Susan CC , Kerr Jeremy T
Published: October 2024

Climate change may introduce conditions beyond species’ tolerances; to survive, species must avoid these extremes. Phenological shifts are one strategy, as species move their activity or life history events in time to avoid extreme conditions. Species may also shift in space, moving their ranges poleward to escape extremes. However, whether species are more likely to exhibit one or both strategies, and whether this can be predicted based on a species’ functional traits, is unknown. Using a powerful macroecological dataset of European and North American odonate observations, we assessed range and phenology shifts between two time periods (1980-2002 and 2008-2018) to measure the strength and direction of the association between responses. Species with the greatest poleward range shifts also showed the largest phenological shifts toward earlier annual activity periods, with half of all species shifting in both space and time. This response was consistent across continents, despite highly divergent land use and biogeographical histories in these regions. Surprisingly, species’ range and phenology shifts were not related to functional traits; rather, southern species shifted their range limits more strongly, while increasing temperature variability hindered range shifts. By reducing risk through phenological shifts, the resulting larger populations may be more likely to disperse and expand species’ ranges. While species shifting in both space and time may be more resilient to extreme conditions, we identified a small number of species (approximately 10%) that failed to shift at all; these species are likely to be particularly vulnerable to climate change, and should be prioritized for conservation intervention.
Rabphilin-3A negatively regulates neuropeptide release, through its SNAP25 interaction
Authors: Abramian Adlin , Hoogstraaten Rein I , Murphy Fiona H , McDaniel Kathryn F , Toonen Ruud F , Verhage Matthijs
Published: October 2024

Neuropeptides and neurotrophins are stored in and released from dense core vesicles (DCVs). While DCVs and synaptic vesicles (SVs) share fundamental SNARE/SM proteins for exocytosis, a detailed understanding of DCV exocytosis remains elusive. We recently identified the RAB3-RIM1 pathway to be essential for DCV, but not SV exocytosis, highlighting a significant distinction between the SV and DCV secretory pathways. Whether RIM1 is the only RAB3 effector that is essential for DCV exocytosis is currently unknown. In this study, we show that rabphilin-3A (RPH3A), a known downstream effector of RAB3A, is a negative regulator of DCV exocytosis. Using live-cell imaging at single-vesicle resolution with RPH3A deficient hippocampal mouse neurons, we show that DCV exocytosis increased threefold in the absence of RPH3A. RAB3A-binding deficient RPH3A lost its punctate distribution, but still restored DCV exocytosis to WT levels when re-expressed. SNAP25-binding deficient RPH3A did not rescue DCV exocytosis. In addition, we show that RPH3A did not travel with DCVs, but remained stationary at presynapses. RPH3A null neurons also had longer neurites, which was partly restored when ablating all regulated secretion with tetanus neurotoxin. Taken together, these results show that RPH3A negatively regulates DCV exocytosis, potentially also affecting neuron size. Furthermore, RAB3A interaction is required for the synaptic enrichment of RPH3A, but not for limiting DCV exocytosis. Instead, the interaction of RPH3A with SNAP25 is relevant for inhibiting DCV exocytosis.
Intestinal microbiome dysbiosis increases Mycobacteria pulmonary colonization in mice by regulating the Nos2-associated pathways

Published: October 2024

Increasing researches reveal gut microbiota was associated with the development of tuberculosis (TB). How to prevent or reduce Mycobacterium tuberculosis colonization in the lungs is a key measure to prevent TB. However, the data on gut microbiota preventing Mycobacterium colonization in the lungs were scarce. Here, we established the clindamycin-inducing intestinal microbiome dysbiosis and fecal microbial transplantation models in mice to identify gut microbiota’s effect on Mycobacterium’s colonization in the mouse lungs and explore its potential mechanisms. The results showed that clindamycin treatment altered the diversity and composition of the intestinal bacterial and fungal microbiome, weakened the trans-kingdom network interactions between bacteria and fungi, and induced gut microbiome dysbiosis in the mice. Gut microbiota dysbiosis increases intestinal permeability and enhances the susceptibility of Mycobacterium colonization in the lungs of mice. The potential mechanisms were gut microbiota dysbiosis altered the lung transcriptome and increased Nos2 expression through the ‘gut–lung axis’. Nos2 high expression disrupts the intracellular antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory environment by increasing the concentration of nitric oxide, decreasing the levels of reactive oxygen species and Defb1 in the cells, and promoting Mycobacteria colonization in the lungs of mice. The present study raises a potential strategy for reducing the risks of Mycobacteria infections and transmission by regulating the gut microbiome balance.
Prevalence Of Congenital Abnormalities On Routine Antenatal Ultrasonography During Second And Third Trimester Of Pregnancy: A Study In A District Hospital Of North East India
Authors: Biswas Dr Pintu
Published: October 2024

Background Prevalence of congenital anomalies varies greatly from country to country. It is reported about 2.5% in India. In India, congenital anomalies are responsible for 15% of perinatal mortality and for 10% to 15% of neonatal deaths. The main aim of the study is to evaluate the prevalence of the congenital anomalies and malformation patterns in our hospital population. Material & Method This is a cross-sectional study carried out in the ‘Radiology unit’ of ‘District Hospital, Gomati’, Tripura. The study population includes about 910 antenatal mothers in the second and third trimester, who were referred to ‘Radiology unit’ from the outpatient and inpatient departments of ‘Obstetrics and Gynaecology’ of the same hospital between September 2017 to February 2018 were included in the study. Data of Antenatal ultrasounds was statistically analyzed on structured data collection form to determine the prevalence of congenital anomaly in 2nd & 3rd trimester. Results: Total 910 numbers of 2nd and 3rd trimester prenatal ultrasonography (USG) were done. Out of these 18 numbers of congenital anomalies were detected. The antenatal prevalence of congenital anomalies was 1.97%. The mean maternal age and mean gestational age at diagnosis was 22.9 years and 27.7 weeks respectively. Genitourinary system defect was the commonest (27.77%), of which maximum number had pyelactasis i.e. 3 (16.66%) cases. Conclusion: Ultrasonography is a cost-effective, non-invasive and sensitive tool in detecting the congenital anomalies antenatally in the hands of an experienced radiologist. Besides the first-trimester USG, the second trimester scan is mandatory in detecting anomaly in the growing foetus, as the majority of congenital anomalies are detected between 20 and 22 weeks of pregnancy

Aim: The aim of this in-vitro study will be to evaluate and compare the accuracy of two apex locators in the presence of various irrigants. Methods and Material: The study will be conducted on 80 extracted straight, single-rooted permanent human teeth with mature apices. The teeth will be decoronated. Access cavity preparations will be done and working length will be established with 10 K file or 15 k-file into the canal until its tip emerged through the major apical foramen at ×10 magnification under a stereomicroscope. All the samples selected will be divided into four groups on the basis of irrigants used. Group 1 will be dry without irrigants, used as control, in Group 2 saline will be used as irrigant, in Group 3 sodium hypochlorite will be used as irrigant and in Group 4 chlorehexidine will be used as irrigant. Each group again will be subdivided into two groups on the basis of two different apex locators used (Root ZX Mini J. Morita) and CanalPro (Coltene). All the samples will be embedded in gelatin filled polyurethane bottles to simulate the periodontium. Statistical analysis used: Subsequently, the data will be statistically analysed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and paired t-test. Results: In this study, group 2 canal pro apex locator is accurate and sodium hypochlorite irrigant shows maximum variation. Conclusions: Canalpro showed accurate values than Root ZX and sodium hypochlorite showed more variations

Introduction: Mandible is the only mobile bone of the facial skeleton which plays an important role in mastication, speech and deglutition. Being a prominent bone of the facial skeleton, it is one of the most common facial bone to be fractured. Fracture in the mandible causes severe loss of function and disfigurement. Objective: The aim of this paper was to investigate the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients of condyle fracture treated under the oral and maxillofacial department of a tertiary level hospital of Bangladesh. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional descriptive type of study was conducted at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Dhaka Dental College and Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh during June, 20 23 to December, 2023. A consecutive sampling technique was used and a series of 120 cases of condyle fracture aged 17-65 years of both sex were retrospectively enrolled in this study. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version-23.0. Results: A series of 120 cases of condyle fracture patients were enrolled in this study. Among the patients, the most frequent age group was 30-39 years which includes 62(51.25%) patients. The mean age of the patients was 41.10±10.21 years. A significant gender disparity was observed, with 87(72.5%) of the patients being male. Most of the patients were service holder 63(52.5%). The major cause of injury of the patients was road traffic accident 75(62.5%).Among the study patients, 111(92.5%) had third molar teeth present. Of them, the most frequent 75(67.56%) patients had erupted third molar condition and 36(32.43%) patients had impacted third molar condition. According to distribution of type of impacted teeth, 21(50%) cases, had oriented vertically and followed by mesioangular 11(25%), disto-angular 4(10.7%), and horizontal 6(14.3%). According to distribution of condylar fracture, the most frequent 73 (6.25%) patients had non-displaced injuries. followed by displaced 36(30%) and dislocated 11(8.75%). Conclusion: This study investigated that road accident is the principal factor of condylar fracture and third molar teeth and its position has a significant impact on condylar fracture and at the same time the male are the more prone to condylar fracture than the female in Bangladesh

Introduction The treatment of lumbar metastatic burst fractures without neurologic deficit can be approached using a one-stageposterior-only corpectomy and fusion technique. This technique involves the removal of the af ected vertebral bodyand its replacement with an expandable titanium cage to provide stability and promote fusion. Case Report We describe our initial experience with the case of a 36-year-old female who presented with spinal nervecompression symptoms with radiological features of a solitary metastatic disease of the second lumbar vertebraewith a background history of missed unilateral breast tumour. She had a one-staged L2 posterior corpectomy, insertion of an expandable cage and stabilization with pedicle screws and rods. She subsequently did well withnoneurological deficit. Subsequently, she had a full assessment for breast cancer which revealed a left breast malignant tumour and had a radical mastectomy done and followed up with chemotherapy. Discussion Lumber corpectomy combines a posterior approach for instrumentation with an anterior approach for corpectomy and reconstruction of the anterior column. This combined approach is usually associated with high morbidity, long operative time, more blood loss, long hospital stay, protracted rehabilitation period and an access surgeon. In our case, a single approach was done to achieve posterior rigid stabilization, 360° neural decompression, and anterior column reconstruction without exposing the patient to the morbidity associated with the combined approach or the possible vascular complication of an anterior surgery. Conclusion This case shows that a one-stage posterior only corpectomy and fusion can be done safely with good outcome in a poor resource setting

Authors: I Sulaiman. , Shetty Aayushi S , Bharat Abhishek , Kumar A K Vijay Krishna
Published: October 2024

Background: Hamstring muscles are located at the back of the thigh and the primary action of hamstring muscles is flexion of the knee. It is an effective self-stretching technique; it combines static and dynamic stretching and can be performed without any equipment. Methods: For Jack-knife stretching, participants started in a full squat position, gripping both ankles. The subjects were instructed to extend their knees as much as possible while bringing their chest close to their thighs, holding this position for 10 seconds before returning to the starting position6 . This sequence was repeated five times with a 10-second rest period between five repetitions, performed twice a week for two weeks. Results: Results shows that Jack Knife stretching is very effective in reducing Hamstring Tightness and reduction in low back pain. There is a significant difference in pre and post-intervention scores of NPRS with P < 0.001 and QUEBEC scores with improved functional ability having P < 0.001 Conclusion: The study concludes that Jack Knife stretching is effective in reducing Hamstring Tightness and reduction in low back pain. It was also concluded that there is increased functional ability of the Hamstring muscle
Measured Horizontal Temperature Gradients Constrain Heat Transfer Mechanisms in Greenland Ice

Ice in the ablation zone of the Greenland ice sheet is known to contain vertical temperature gradients that arise from conduction at the boundaries, the addition of strain and latent heat, and advective heat transport. A three‐dimensional array of temperature measurements in a grid of boreholes reveals horizontal ice temperature gradients that challenge the present conceptualization of heat transfer. We measure two distinct types of temperature variability in the horizontal direction, one impacting a confined region where ice temperatures span a range of 5°C, and another with temperatures consistently varying by approximately 2°C across the entire 3‐D block. We suggest the first demonstrates the localized and limited nature of latent heat input, and the second demonstrates that vertical heat advection outpaces diffusion. These findings imply that ice flow is highly variable over sub‐ice‐thickness length scales, which in turn generates contrasts in ice temperature that may impact ice deformation and fracturing.
