Total ozone column intercomparison of Brewers, Dobsons, and BTS-Solar at Hohenpeißenberg and Davos in 2019/2020
Authors: Zuber Ralf , Köhler Ulf , Egli Luca , Ribnitzky Mario , Steinbrecht Wolfgang , Gröbner Julian
Published: July 2021

Abstract. During the 2019/2020 measurement campaign at
Hohenpeißenberg (Germany) and Davos (Switzerland) we compared the
well-established Dobson and Brewer spectrometers (single- and double-monochromator Brewer) with newer BTS array-spectroradiometer-based systems
in terms of total ozone column (TOC) determination. The aim of this study is to validate the BTS performance in a longer-term TOC analysis over more than 1 year with seasonal and weather influences. Two different BTS setups have
been used – a fibre-coupled entrance optic version by PMOD/WRC called
Koherent and a diffusor optic version from Gigahertz Optik GmbH called BTS-Solar, which proved to be simpler in terms of calibration. The
array-spectrometer-based BTS systems have been calibrated with traceability
to NMI, and both versions of TOC retrieval
algorithms are based on spectral measurements in the range of 305 to 350 nm instead of single-wavelength or wavelength pair measurements as per Brewer or Dobson. The two BTS-based systems, however, used fundamentally different retrieval algorithms for the TOC assessment, whereby the retrieval
of the BTS-Solar turned out to achieve significantly smaller seasonal
drifts. The intercomparison showed a difference of the BTS-Solar to Brewers
of < 0.1 % with an expanded standard deviation (k=2) of < 1.5 % over the whole measurement campaign. Koherent showed a difference of 1.7 % with an expanded standard deviation (k=2) of 2.7 % mostly caused
by a significant seasonal variation. To summarize, the BTS-Solar performed
at the level of Brewers in the comparison in Hohenpeißenberg. The BTS-Solar showed very small dependence on the slant path column compared to
the double-monochromator Brewer and performed better than the single-monochromator Brewer. Koherent showed a strong seasonal variation in Davos
due to the sensitivity of its ozone retrieval algorithm to stratospheric
temperature.
Carbon isotope stratigraphy and mammal turnover during post-PETM hyperthermals

Published: July 2021

Abstract. Paleogene hyperthermals, including the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) and several other smaller events, represent global perturbations to Earth's climate system and are characterized by warmer temperatures, shifts in floral and faunal communities, and hydrologic changes. These events are identified in the geologic record globally by negative carbon isotope excursions (CIEs), resulting from the input of isotopically light carbon into Earth's atmosphere. Much about the causes and effects of hyperthermals remains uncertain, including whether all hyperthermals are caused by the same underlying processes, how biotic effects scale with the magnitude of hyperthermals, and why CIEs are larger in paleosol carbonates relative to marine records. Resolving these questions is crucial for their full interpretation and application to future climate scenarios. The Fifteenmile Creek area of the central Bighorn Basin, Wyoming U.S.A., exposes an early Eocene floodplain sedimentary sequence that preserves paleosol carbonates and an extensive fossil mammal collection. Previous analysis of faunal assemblages revealed two pulses of mammal turnover and changes in diversity interpreted to correlate with the ETM2 and H2 hyperthermals that immediately follow the PETM. This was, however, based on long distance correlation of chemostratigraphic records. We present new carbon isotope stratigraphy using micrite δ13C values from paleosol carbonate nodules preserved in and between richly fossiliferous localities at Fifteenmile Creek to identify the stratigraphic positions of ETM2 and H2. Additionally, we used differential GPS elevations to establish a new stratigraphic framework that assists in correlation and is independent from the biostratigraphy and previous composite lithostratigraphic sections from the area. Carbon isotope results show that the ETM2 and H2 hyperthermals, and possibly the subsequent I1 hyperthermal, are recorded at Fifteenmile Creek. ETM2 and H2 overlap with the two previously recognized pulses of mammal turnover. Comparisons between the new chemostratigraphy and fossil record suggest that the recorded amplitude of these faunal changes may be muted as a result of some stratigraphic averaging of fossils. The CIEs for these hyperthermals are also smaller in magnitude than in more northerly Bighorn Basin records. We suggest that basin-wide differences in soil moisture and/or vegetation could contribute to variable CIE amplitudes in this and other terrestrial records.
Revisiting the subalpine Mesolithic site Ullafelsen in the Fotsch Valley, Stubai Alps, Austria – new insights into pedogenesis and landscape evolution from leaf-wax-derived n-alkanes, black carbon and radiocarbon dating

Published: July 2021

Abstract. Archaeological research in high mountain regions has gotten a lot more attention since
the discovery of the copper age mummy called “Ötzi” in the Ötztaler
Alps in 1991. In the Tyrolean Stubai Alps, the Mesolithic site Ullafelsen at
1869 m a.s.l. (above sea level) close to the recent upper timberline in the Fotsch Valley
represents, on the one hand, a very important archaeological reference site
and offers, on the other hand, intriguing research questions related to, amongst
others, pedogenesis. Given that no biomarkers and stable isotopes
have been hitherto investigated, we aimed at contributing with respective analyses and
additional radiocarbon dating to a better understanding of the landscape
evolution and pedogenesis on and around the Ullafelsen. Our results for modern vegetation suggest that leaf-wax-derived n-alkanes
allow us to chemotaxonomically distinguish between subalpine deciduous trees
(nC27 predominance) versus (sub)alpine grasses, herbs and dwarf shrubs
(nC29, nC31 and/or nC33 predominance). Except for Juniperus, conifers
produce no or extremely low n-alkane contents. Although no clear vegetation
changes could be inferred from the n-alkane patterns of the investigated soil
profiles, the total n-alkane content (TAC) was developed for the first time
as an unambiguous proxy for distinguishing between buried (= fossil) topsoils
(2Ahb horizons) and humus-enriched subsoils such as Bh horizons of podzols.
Based on this leaf wax proxy, we can rule out that the 2Ahb?/Bh? horizons
under question on the Ullafelsen are buried topsoils as suggested
previously. Dating of the H2O2-pretreated soil samples yielded
14C ages for the podzol Bh horizons ranging from 6.7 to 5.4 cal kyr BP. This is clearly younger than the overlying Mesolithic living floor (LL)
(10.9 to 9.5 cal kyr BP) but pre-dates the assumed intensification of
alpine pasturing from the Bronze Age onwards. Both the LL and the directly
overlying OAh3 horizon yielded black carbon maxima and benzene
polycarboxylic acid patterns reflecting fire-induced human impact during the
Mesolithic. The discrepancy between the Mesolithic charcoal 14C ages
(ages of ≥ 9.5 cal kyr BP) versus the 14C ages obtained for bulk
n-alkanes ranging from 8.2 to 4.9 cal kyr BP suggests that non-alkane-producing conifers predominated the vegetation on and around the Ullafelsen
after the Mesolithic occupation. Only with the anthropo-zoological lowering
of the timberline associated with alpine pasturing since the Neolithic and
especially the Bronze Age has an n-alkane-producing vegetation cover (grasses,
herbs or dwarf shrubs) started to predominate.

Published: July 2021

Abstract. The demersal fish and cephalopod communities of the continental shelves of the Bay of Biscay and the Celtic Sea have been monitored for more than 30 years by the EVHOE series of fisheries surveys. Since 1987, a total of 4247 stations have been sampled in the fall with a GOV bottom trawl in a depth range of 15 to 600 m. The main objective of these surveys is to monitor 22 benthic fish stocks and 10 cephalopods but also to provide a description of the distribution of a total of 250 fish and 50 commercial invertebrate taxa. The dataset (https://doi.org/10.17882/80041) provides abundance and biomass information by station for all observed taxa. Size distributions for a selection of species are also available. These data are part of a larger set of standardized European surveys that provide essential information for monitoring demersal communities in the Northeast Atlantic. We propose here a critical analysis of the dataset especially in terms of the evolution of the sampling effort and strategy as well as the taxonomic precision.
Stream discharge depends more on the temporal distribution of water inputs than on yearly snowfall fractions for a headwater catchment at the rain-snow transition zone
Authors: Kiewiet Leonie , Trujillo Ernesto , Hedrick Andrew , Havens Scott , Hale Katherine , Seyfried Mark , Kampf Stephanie , Godsey Sarah E.
Published: July 2021

Abstract. Climate warming affects snowfall fractions and snowpack storage, displaces the rain-snow transition zone towards higher elevations, and impacts discharge timing and magnitude as well as low-flow patterns. However, it remains unknown how variations in the spatial and temporal distribution of precipitation at the rain-snow transition zone affect discharge. To investigate this, we used observations from eleven weather stations and snow depths measured in one aerial lidar survey to force a spatially distributed snowpack model (iSnobal/Automated Water Supply Model) in a semi-arid, 1.8 km2 headwater catchment at the rain-snow transition zone. We focused on surface water inputs (SWI; the summation of rainfall and snowmelt) for four years with contrasting climatological conditions (wet, dry, rainy and snowy) and compared simulated SWI to measured discharge. We obtained a strong spatial agreement between snow depth from the lidar survey and model (r2: 0.88), and a median Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) of 0.65 for simulated and measured snow depths for all modelled years (0.75 for normalized snow depths). The spatial pattern of SWI was consistent between the four years, with north-facing slopes producing 1.09 to 1.25 times more SWI than south-facing slopes, and snow drifts producing up to six times more SWI than the catchment average. We found that discharge in a snowy year was almost twice as high as in a rainy year, despite similar SWI. However, years with a lower snowfall fraction did not always have lower annual discharge nor earlier stream drying. Instead, we found that the dry-out date at the catchment outlet was positively correlated to the snowpack melt-out date. These results highlight the heterogeneity of SWI at the rain-snow transition zone and emphasize the need for spatially distributed modelling or monitoring of both the snowpack and rainfall.
A climatological benchmark for operational radar rainfall bias reduction
Authors: Imhoff Ruben , Brauer Claudia , van Heeringen Klaas-Jan , Leijnse Hidde , Overeem Aart , Weerts Albrecht , Uijlenhoet Remko
Published: July 2021

Abstract. The presence of significant biases in real-time radar quantitative
precipitation estimations (QPEs) limits its use in hydrometeorological
forecasting systems. Here, we introduce CARROTS (Climatology-based Adjustments
for Radar Rainfall in an OperaTional Setting), a set of fixed bias reduction
factors, which vary per grid cell and day of the year. The factors are based
on a historical set of 10 years of 5 min radar and reference rainfall
data for the Netherlands. CARROTS is both operationally available and
independent of real-time rain gauge availability and can thereby provide an
alternative to current QPE adjustment practice. In addition, it can be used as
benchmark for QPE algorithm development. We tested this method on the
resulting rainfall estimates and discharge simulations for 12 Dutch
catchments and polders. We validated the results against the operational mean
field bias (MFB)-adjusted rainfall estimates and a reference dataset. This
reference consists of the radar QPE, that combines an hourly MFB adjustment
and a daily spatial adjustment using observations from 32 automatic and 319
manual rain gauges. Only the automatic gauges of this network are available in
real time for the MFB adjustment. The resulting climatological correction
factors show clear spatial and temporal patterns. Factors are higher away from
the radars and higher from December through March than in other seasons, which
is likely a result of sampling above the melting layer during the winter
months. The MFB-adjusted QPE outperforms the CARROTS-corrected QPE when the
country-average rainfall estimates are compared to the reference. However,
annual rainfall sums from CARROTS are comparable to the reference and
outperform the MFB-adjusted rainfall estimates for catchments away from the
radars, where the MFB-adjusted QPE generally underestimates the rainfall
amounts. This difference is absent for catchments closer to the radars. QPE
underestimations are amplified when used in the hydrological model
simulations. Discharge simulations using the QPE from CARROTS outperform those
with the MFB-adjusted product for all but one basin. Moreover, the proposed
factor derivation method is robust. It is hardly sensitive to leaving
individual years out of the historical set and to the moving window length,
given window sizes of more than a week.
Mechanical and hydraulic properties of the excavation damaged zone (EDZ) in the Opalinus Clay of the Mont Terri rock laboratory, Switzerland
Authors: Hale Sina , Ries Xavier , Jaeggi David , Blum Philipp
Published: July 2021

Abstract. Construction of cavities in the subsurface is always
accompanied by excavation damage. Especially in the context of deep
geological nuclear waste disposal, the evolving excavation damaged zone
(EDZ) in the near field of emplacement tunnels is of utmost importance
concerning safety aspects. As the EDZ differs from the intact host rock due
to enhanced hydraulic transmissivity and altered geomechanical behavior,
reasonable and location-dependent input data on hydraulic and mechanical
properties are crucial. Thus, in this study, a hydromechanical
characterization of an EDZ in the Mont Terri underground rock laboratory,
Switzerland, was performed using three different handheld devices: (1) air
permeameter, (2) microscopic camera and (3) needle penetrometer. The
discrete fracture network (DFN), consisting of artificially induced
unloading joints and reactivated natural discontinuities, was investigated
by a portable air permeameter and combined microscopic imaging with
automatic evaluation. Geomechanical and geophysical characterization of the
claystone was conducted based on needle penetrometer testing at the exposed
rock surface. Within the EDZ, permeable fractures with a mean hydraulic
aperture of 84 ± 23 µm are present. Under open conditions,
self-sealing of fractures is suppressed, and cyclic long-term fracture
aperture oscillations in combination with closure resulting from convergence
processes is observed. Based on measured needle penetration indices, a
uniaxial compressive strength of 30 ± 13 MPa (normal to bedding) and
18 ± 8 MPa (parallel to bedding) was determined. Enhanced strength
and stiffness are directly related to near-surface desaturation of the
claystone and a sharp decrease in water content from 6.6 wt % to
3.7 wt %. The presented methodological approach is particularly suitable
for time-dependent monitoring of EDZs since measurements are nondestructive
and do not change the actual state of the rock mass. This allows for a
spatially resolved investigation of hydraulic and mechanical fracture
apertures, fracture surface roughness, and physico-mechanical rock
parameters and their intra-facies variability.
Towards ice thickness inversion: an evaluation of global DEMs by ICESat-2 in the glacierized Tibetan Plateau

Published: July 2021

Abstract. Accurate estimates of regional ice thickness, which are generally produced by ice-thickness inversion models, are crucial for assessments of available freshwater resources and sea level rise. Digital elevation model (DEM) derived surface topography of glaciers is a primary data source for such models. However, the scarce in-situ measurements of glacier surface elevation limit the evaluation of DEM uncertainty, and hence its influence on ice-thickness modelling over the glacierized area of the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Here, we examine the performance over the glacierized TP of six widely used and mainly global-scale DEMs: AW3D30 (30 m), SRTM-GL1 (30 m), NASADEM (30 m), TanDEM-X (90 m), SRTM v4.1 (90 m) and MERIT (90 m) by using ICESat-2 laser altimetry data while considering the effects of glacier dynamics, terrain, and DEM misregistration. The results reveal NASADEM as the best performer, with a small mean error (ME) of −1.0 and a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 12.6 m. A systematic vertical offset existed in AW3D30 (−35.3 ME and 34.9 m RMSE), although it had a similar relative accuracy to NASADEM (~ 13 m STD). TanDEM-X also performs well (−0.1 ME and 15.1 m RMSE), but suffers from serious errors and outliers on steep slopes. SRTM-based DEMs (SRTM-GL1, SRTM v4.1, and MERIT) (all ~ 36 m RMSE) had an inferior performance to NASADEM. However, their errors were reduced in the ablation zone when glacier variations were excluded. Errors in the six DEMs increased from the south-facing to the north-facing aspect and become larger with increasing slope. Misregistration of DEMs relative to ICESat-2 footprint in most glacier areas is small (less than one pixel). An intercomparison of four ice-thickness models: GlabTop2, Open Global Glacier Model (OGGM), Huss-Farinotti (HF), Ice Thickness Inversion Based on Velocity (ITIBOV), show that GlabTop2 is sensitive to the accuracy of both elevation and slope, while OGGM and HF are less sensitive to DEM quality, and ITIBOV is the most sensitive to slope accuracy. Considering the inconsistency of DEMs acquisition dates, NASADEM would be a best choice for ice-thickness estimates over the TP, followed by AW3D30, and TanDEM-X (if steep and high elevation terrain can be avoided). Our assessment figures out the performances of mainly global DEMs over the glacierized TP. This study not only avails the glacier thickness estimation with ice thickness inversion models, but also offered references for other cryosphere studies using DEM.

Apreciado lector, el libro que le presentamos tiene su origen en un ejercicio académico realizado en la Corporación Universitaria del Meta-UNIMETA, con el propósito de comprender de qué manera abordan el tema de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) diferentes investigadores desde distintas disciplinas. Cuando pensamos en lo que significa plantear 17 grandes ideales para asegurar la prosperidad de la humanidad, nos preguntamos, en principio, qué significa eso de la prosperidad y cuál es el papel que cumple la academia en dicho esfuerzo; así, encontramos que desde cada área de estudio, como se evidencia en los quince capítulos que componen esta compilación, se realizan aproximaciones para transformar la realidad y hacer posible una sociedad más justa en la que las condiciones de vida permitan materializar los valores que privilegiamos como seres humanos: la libertad, la igualdad, la paz, la justicia, la verdad. En una reflexión más profunda que resista las anfibologías presentes en las prácticas discursivas sobre la prosperidad -que también podríamos entender como bienestar en un, tal vez ingenuo, intento de darle sentido a tal sentencia-, nos dimos cuenta de que más allá de presentar planes estratégicos para combatir los males que afectan al planeta y que privilegian soluciones mediadas por intereses privados, el trabajo académico se ocupa de la constante generación de conocimiento sobre los fenómenos de la realidad abordada desde contextos específicos; es por eso que en estas miradas es evidente la preocupación por presentar metodologías y desarrollos conceptuales que den lugar al trabajo transdisciplinar para una ciencia que no se desligue de la ética y permita, efectivamente, cumplir con los ODS.

A study was carried out to investigate the effects of background color on the growth, skin pigmentation and breeding performances of guppy, Poecilia reticulata. Guppy fish was reared in tanks with four different colors as treatments such as T0 (transparent), T1 (red), T3 (blue) and T4 (green) for 5 months. There were significant differences in growth and coloration among the treatments. The growth performance was found significantly higher in transparent background compared to the other treatments. The results showed that the highest mean weight (0.259 ±0.018 g), mean length (3.067±0.208 cm) and SGR (0.165±0.012) of the fish were significantly higher in T0. Least mean weight (0.167± 0.025 g), mean length (2.53±.0.058 cm) and SGR (0.104±0.017) were observed in T1 indicating association of red color with slower growth performance of guppy, compared to other treatments. Study showed significant influence of background color in skin pigmentation. Fishes reared in transparent tanks showed the highest value of carotenoid (0.00175±0.00004mg/g) and fishes reared in the red tank showed the lowest value of carotenoid (0.00092±0.000035 mg/g). Green background enhanced red orange color on fish skin and provided high amount of carotenoid value (0.00143±0.000046 mg/g) than that with blue (0.00095±0.000025 mg/g). These results suggest significant influence of background color on growth and skin pigmentation patterns of Guppy.

An on-farm mono culture experiment was conducted for a period of four months from May to September 2014 to compare the growth and production of stinging catfish, Heteropneustes fossilis, at two different environmental conditions. Two locations were one in Gazipur Sadar (AEZ 28)and the other in Narsingdi Sadar (AEZ 9).At each location, there were five ponds of almost similar size and water depth. The stocking density was 500 fry per decimal for each location. Pre-stocking and post-stocking management were similar in both locations. There were considerable variations in most of the water and soil qualities between two locations. After four months of rearing, significantlyhigher (p<0.05) mean harvesting weight of H. fossilis (48.10±7.12 g) was observed in Narsingdi, as compared to that of Gazipur (23.18± 6.24 g).

Financial Management Skills in Small Tourism Businesses: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Mattimoe Ruth
Published: July 2021

Many Irish tourism enterprises are family-owned micro businesses, sometimes in peripheral locations, with a people and lifestyle focus, so they may be vulnerable financially. Therefore, this research paper aims to diagnose the level of financial management capability in twelve owner-managed activity centres, restaurants and accommodation businesses, using interpretive exploratory interviews.

The research literature defines capability to include intrinsic awareness, prior training and business experience of the owner-manager, together with the use of information systems and support from external advisers. Empirical findings confirm gaps in competencies across the sample group. Suggestions are made for the external accountant to mentor improvement in financial capability through non-compliance services via local networks.

Authors: Sharma Divya , Tilaye Prajakta
Published: July 2021

Worldwide, non communicable diseases such as obesity, metabolic syndrome etc. are on the rise. An increased adiposity due to obesity has several systemic adverse effects, including those on the respiratory system. Physiotherapists have an essential role in the management of obesity by means of fitness training and medically supervised exercise programs. The objective of this study was to understand the direct correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI) and chest expansion. The chest expansion was evaluated using cloth tape measurement technique at 3 reference levels- axilla, nipple and xiphisternum. Data from 59 subjects, young adult females (aged 18-24 years) was collected and analysed. A weak negative correlation was obtained, which was not statistically significant. (p > 0.05). A direct correlation may thus be difficult to establish between the two variables and other confounding factors must be considered.

Published: July 2021

The aim of the present hospital based study is to assess the serum levels of 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) among 152 subjects. A total of 152 subjects, categorized into 3 groups: (i) pesticides exposed group (N=60), (ii) pesticide un-exposed group (N=42) and (iii) healthy controls group (N=50) were recruited for the study following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The blood was drawn from the eligible subjects and Enzyme Immuno Assay (EIA) was performed to assess the 8-OHdG levels in serum. Appropriate statistical methods were used to analyse the study data. Assessment showed that pesticides exposed group has higher levels of serum 8-OHdG as compared to un-exposed group and healthy controls. Age and duration of exposure had an impact on the levels of serum 8-OHdG.The higher serum levels of 8-OHdG may be a marker for pesticides-induced oxidative DNA damage.

Comparative Effect between Silesian Suspension and Total Elastic Suspension on GRF Loading in Subjects with Trans-Femoral Prosthesis: A Biomechanical Study
Authors: Paikray Subhasish , Raihan Hasan Md. Arif , Das Dhurti Sundar
Published: July 2021

Background: The major function of all Suspension systems is Prosthesis retention. The suspension system prevents rotation, translation and vertical movement of the prosthesis in relation to the residual limb. The Silesian suspension and TES system that are commonly prescribed for Transfemoral amputees are believed to provide a better suspension. Nevertheless, their effect on Transfemoral amputees’ gait performance has not yet been fully investigated. The main intention of this study was to understand the potential effects of the Silesian suspension and TES systems on Transfemoral amputees on gait kinetics.
Aim & Objective: To find out the effect of two types of suspension system on Gait Kinetics in subject with unilateral transfemoral amputee.
Study Design: Two group post-test Comparative Experimental study design. (Quasi Experimental).
Methods: 30 subjects with two different suspension systems such as Silesian suspension (Group-A) and Total Elastic Suspension (Group-B) was included in this study by convenient sampling method. All subjects walked with Endo skeletal design Trans femoral Prostheses gait training given called after 3 weeks. After that data regarding gait kinetics parameters was evaluated by Kistler Force Plate in dynamic position.
Result: The results revealed that there is significant difference in gait kinetics parameters that GRF (Fx) mean shows no significantly difference between Group-A and Group-B (p= 0.582), GRF (Fy) mean shows non-significantly difference between Group-A and Group B (p=0.163) and GRF (Fz) mean shows non-significantly difference between Group-A and Group-B.
Conclusion: The findings concluded that the study support the hypothesis that there were significant difference with two different suspension system on kinetic gait parameters.

Authors: Mohan Ra Raymol Dagani o , Methe Archana D. , Patil Harshada
Published: July 2021

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease that can change the lifestyle of the affected person by producing pain and decreasing function; OA can result in loss of mobility, pain, disability, and dependence. Impaired balance and increased postural sway (oscillating movements of the body over feet during relaxed standing) both occur with advancing age. Diminished strength is well documented in the elderly.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Otago exercise versus dual task net step exercise on balance and functional mobility in community dwelling elderly person with knee OA.
Methods: Subjects with knee OA having balance and functional mobility problems were included in this study. Total of 36 both male and female were selected. Subjects those matching the inclusion criteria with age group 60-70 were included for the study. They were randomly divided into two groups; 18 subjects were present in each group. For 4 weeks and 3 days per week. Visual analogue scale, Berg Balance Scale, Time Up and Go test was used to assess the pre and post effects of exercises.
Result: Group A showed significant improvement in the balance and functional mobility as compared to group B .So the p-value=0.000<.05.
Conclusion: The study concludes that Otago exercises are more effective than the Dual Task Net Step Exercises in improving balance function and functional mobility in community dwelling elderly persons with knee respectively.

Key words: Osteoarthritis, Otago Exercise, Dual Task Net Step Exercise, Berg Balance Scale, Time Up and Go test.

Análisis de la búsqueda astrobiológica de inteligencia desde la perspectiva de la mente consciente
Authors: Llanos Henry
Published: July 2021

La llamada “búsqueda de vida” fuera de la tierra en la que se basa la exobiología, parte importantísima de la astrobiología, encierra en realidad la búsqueda de la mente consciente en otras partes del universo, pues se trata implícitamente de buscar “nuestro similar”. Esta idea de “nuestro similar” ha tomado muchos enfoques a lo lago de la historia e implica la búsqueda incansable de parte de filósofos y científicos de la cualidad que nos define como seres humanos y personas. En este trabajo se hará un breve recuento de tales búsquedas hasta llegar al concepto de mente consciente y se expondrá lo que sabemos hasta ahora de cómo, en el caso de la Tierra, apareció esta singular cualidad: la consciencia. Luego se extrapolará este conocimiento fuera de la Tierra, lo que se llamó “paradigma geocéntrico”, en una reformulación de la conocidísima Ecuación de Drake. Se identificarán los tres cuellos de botella o eventos improbabilísimos que fueron necesarios que sucedan para el arribo de la mente consciente en este planeta y por ende de la humanidad. Es de suponer que esa misma secuencia de eventos improbables es necesaria para que, en otros planetas, haya seres similares a nosotros con consciencia.

El pasado 2019, un nuevo coronavirus emergió en la localidad china de Wuhan. Meses después, la Organización Mundial de la Salud declaró su brote como pandemia. Tras ello, múltiples estrategias han sido desplegadas para lidiar con su propagación, una de ellas es la cuarentena. Así, con la pandemia de SARS-CoV-2 se ha vuelto a considerar el debate sobre si es moral o no dicha medida. En este artículo se procurará responder a la pregunta desde un enfoque humanista secular y aplicando el método de bioética empírica denominado contribuciones empíricas paso a paso.

En este artículo se analiza el auge de la Medicina Tradicional China a través del contrabando de cuernos de rinoceronte en épocas de pandemia por COVID-19. Se comenta que dicha práctica pseudocientifica utiliza componentes de vegetales y animales en peligro de extinción que son dañinos para la salud humana. Se precisa que tal situación está promovida por una campaña de empoderamiento de la ciencia china por sobre la ciencia occidental, respaldada además por el Partido Comunista Chino. Se concluye también que existe gran abuso de distintas especies animales, perjuicio a la salud de la población, e instituciones de referencia mundial en cuanto a salud y ciencia médica implicadas en el asunto.

Authors: Gómez-Quesada Yalinne , Vargas-Rubio Rómulo D. , Suárez-Quintero Yanette , Ovalle-Hernández Alan F.
Published: July 2021

La manifestación paraneoplásica conocida como síndrome de Stauffer tiene una presentación atípica, caracterizada por ictericia y colestasis intrahepática. Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 53 años de edad, con antecedente de una masa renal derecha en plan de resección quirúrgica programada, con cuadro de evolución de dolor abdominal en hipocondrio derecho e ictericia. A su ingreso se documentó hepatoesplenomegalia, elevación de bilirrubinas a expensas de la directa, y de fosfatasa alcalina junto con elevación de transaminasas. Se descartaron causas obstructivas a nivel de vía biliar intra y extrahepática. No se documentaron metástasis o lesiones focales a nivel de parénquima, ni lesiones de etiología vascular que explicaran el cuadro. También se descartó hepatitis B, C e infección por VIH, por lo cual se consideró un probable síndrome de Stauffer. Fue llevado a nefrectomía intrahospitalaria, con posterior diagnóstico patológico compatible con carcinoma de células claras. Luego del procedimiento se normalizó la bioquímica hepática y se corrigió la ictericia. Es importante reconocer que la afectación hepática en el contexto de neoplasias, no es solo atribuida a metástasis a distancia, sino también a la existencia de síndromes paraneoplásicos como condicionantes.
AJARAN TASAWUF ABU YAZID AL-BUSTHAMI

Lintasan sejarah Islam yang berakar pada tradisi asketisme tidak bisa dipisahkan dengan ajaran yang disebut tasawuf. Terlepas dari pembagian aliran tasawuf yang dikemukakan oleh Goldziher, tidak bisa disangkali bahwa Nabi dan para sahabatnya telah sedari awal kelahiran Islam mencontohkan sebuah gaya hidup dan perilaku zuhud. kezuhudan atau asketisme adalah hikmah pemahaman yang membuat para penganutnya mempunyai pandangan khusus terhadap kehidupan duniawi, di mana mereka tetap bekerja dan berusaha, akan tetapi kehidupan dunia itu tidak menguasai kecenderungan kalbu mereka, serta tidak membuat mereka mengingkari Tuhannya.Para asketis (zahid) dalam masyarakat Islam awal di kehidupan sehari-harinya adalah orang-orang yang bekerja, memiliki jabatan dalam pemerintahan, memiliki usaha, bahkan terkadang merupakan orang kaya. Ajaran asketisme ini pada gilirannya berkembang menjadi ajaran-ajaran yang dirumuskan dalam teori-teori dan masyarakat muslim mulai mengenal nama tasawuf yang dimaknai sebagai moralitas-moralitas berdasarkan Islam. Tapi meskipun begitu sekurang-kurangnya pada akhir abad ketiga Hijriah kita bisa melihat peralihan konkrit pada asketisme Islam, dan para asketis (zâhid) pada masa itu tidak lagi dikenal dengan gelar ‘az-zâhid’ tapi sudah dikenal dengan gelar ‘ash-shûfi’. Mereka pun cenderung membicarakan konsep-konsep yang tidak dikenal di masa sebelumnya, seperti tentang moral, jiwa, tingkah laku, pembatasan arah yang harus ditempuh seorang sâlik, maqamât, hâl, makrifat dan metode-metodenya, tauhid, fanâ`, baqâ`, ittihâd, dan hulûl. Bukan hanya istilah-istilah tasawuf baru yang diperkenal pada fase perkembangan ini, namun para sufi juga menyusun prinsip-prinsip teoritis dari semua konsepnya itu.Abu Yazid al-Busthami adalah seorang sufi yang menghadirkan konsep baru di tengah khazanah sufisme dan mistisme Islam, yaitu ajaran fanâ`, baqâ`, dan ittihâd. Ia juga menjadi tokoh pembatas antara masa asketisme (kezuhudan) dan masa tasawuf teoritis (mistisme). Konsep ajaran fanâ` adalah keadaan lenyapnya kesadaran seorang sufi akan dirinya sendiri dan alam sekitarnya yang diperoleh dengan jalan membersihkan diri dari akhlak-akhlak tercela dan syahwat-syahwat dunia. Setelah mencapai fase fanâ` seorang sufi akan tiba di kekekalan sifat-sifat ketuhanan atau disebut baqâ`.
