Authors: Saab Fernanda Sales , Botelho Lei Dimara Pereira , Nogueira Daniela
Published: December 2023

La Agenda 2030 es un pacto que busca superar los desafíos para lograr una vida sostenible para todas las naciones. El Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) 6 pretende garantizar la gestión sostenible del agua y el saneamiento para todos, a través de una visión integrada del saneamiento y los recursos hídricos. La Política Nacional de Recursos Hídricos (PNRH), tiene en su núcleo la gestión descentralizada, participativa e integrada, y está sujeta a amenazas y oportunidades. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar los cambios en la participación social en el Comité de la Cuenca Hidrográfica del Río São Francisco (CBHSF). Se realizó una evaluación cualitativa de la participación de los miembros y segmentos que componen el CBHSF a través del análisis documental con el objetivo de identificar los cambios en la participación y en la forma de realización de las reuniones plenarias, en el período de 2016 a 2022, debido a los recientes cambios políticos y de salud pública, representados por un gobierno guiado por restricciones a la participación social y la pandemia del Covid-19. Como resultados, se observó una reducción en la participación del poder público federal en las reuniones plenarias del CBHSF, evidenciando el abandono de las agendas ambientales en el período de 2020 a 2022, incluyendo las relacionadas con los recursos hídricos, poniendo en peligro el logro de la meta 6.5 del ODS 6. También se constató un aumento de la participación a través de la institución de reuniones en formato híbrido (presencial y virtual), cuya práctica puede considerarse exitosa y ayudar en la consecución de la meta 6.b del ODS6.

Published: December 2023

La Amazonía desempeña un papel crucial en la estabilidad climática global, la conservación de la biodiversidad y el bienestar de las comunidades locales. Sin embargo, la región enfrenta desafíos socioambientales complejos como la deforestación, la explotación excesiva de los recursos naturales, los conflictos territoriales y la violación de los derechos humanos. Para enfrentar estos desafíos, es necesario adoptar compromisos y metas claras establecidas por la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible. La implementación de la Agenda 2030 en la Amazonía requiere fortalecer las políticas públicas y adoptar medidas concretas para promover la protección ambiental, la inclusión social y la reducción de las desigualdades. Es fundamental garantizar la participación activa de las comunidades locales, los pueblos indígenas y los grupos tradicionales en el proceso de toma de decisiones, respetando su autonomía y modos de vida. Además, es necesario fortalecer la gobernanza ambiental en la región, promoviendo la cooperación y el diálogo entre gobiernos, sector privado, sociedad civil y organismos internacionales. En resumen, el artículo enfatiza que el desarrollo sostenible en la Amazonía requiere un compromiso conjunto y coordinado de diversos actores para alcanzar los objetivos establecidos por la Agenda 2030. La protección de los derechos humanos, la promoción de la paz y la justicia, junto con la conservación de los ecosistemas amazónicos, son elementos fundamentales para lograr un futuro sostenible en la región. Solo a través de esfuerzos integrados y continuos será posible garantizar un desarrollo equitativo, preservando la riqueza natural de la Amazonía y promoviendo el bienestar de sus poblaciones.

Published: December 2023

El texto en pantalla propone problematizar un conjunto de reflexiones desarrolladas a partir del trabajo acumulado de extensión universitaria en asistencia técnica interdisciplinaria a movimientos sociales urbanos en espacios urbanos populares. Analiza, desde la concepción teórico-metodológica de la educación popular y el materialismo histórico-dialéctico, el proceso de construcción de la resistencia popular signada por las luchas sociales y el derecho a la ciudad. El texto contextualiza, por tanto, el “desarrollo geográfico desigual” en curso y la división en desigualdad social, sexual y racial del acceso a la vivienda a partir de la (re)producción contradictoria del espacio urbano en el capitalismo como fenómeno de clase. Entiende que el “desarrollo geográfico desigual” es parte constitutiva de este proceso como elemento estructurante con la creación de espacios secretos. Además, explica que el tema de la vivienda es interesante para la reproducción de este tipo de sociabilidad y que enfrentarlo supone cambiar la forma en que se organiza la sociabilidad burguesa. Se concluye, especialmente como resultado del trabajo de asistencia técnica, que la relación entre el desarrollo del capitalismo y la urbanización estuvo marcada por luchas sociales y resistencias por el derecho a la ciudad.

Published: December 2023

La falta de una gestión adecuada de los Residuos Sólidos Urbanos genera impactos significativos que afectan la sostenibilidad de los municipios brasileños, considerando que esa gestión es fundamental para definir la calidad de vida de las poblaciones y preservar los recursos naturales. El municipio de Eunápolis/BA, genera aproximadamente 107.824,38 kg/día de residuos sólidos, y hasta 2021 no había unidad de tratamiento o destino adecuado. Es en esa perspectiva que el objetivo de este estudio es analizar la situación de la recolección, tratamiento y disposición final de los residuos sólidos urbanos en el municipio de Eunápolis. La metodología adoptada consiste en realizar un estudio bibliográfico de carácter descriptivo y cualitativo. Para ello, se recolectó información secundaria sobre los residuos sólidos en el municipio, subsidiando datos capaces de auxiliar en la elaboración de lineamientos que puedan contribuir a la búsqueda de soluciones en esta área. Se utilizaron informes y publicaciones emitidas por organismos públicos, datos oficiales como censos y estadísticas, y otras publicaciones que abordan este tema en la región. En vista de lo anterior, se concluye que el municipio de Eunápolis, si bien cuenta con un sistema de recolección que atiende a la población, con una disposición final adecuada de los residuos sólidos, la falta de un Plan Municipal de Gestión Integral de Residuos Sólidos y la falta de una política de recolección selectiva formalizada por el gobierno municipal se ha convertido en un agravante, considerando que estas herramientas son indispensables para el adecuado manejo de estos residuos en el municipio.

Communicative abilities of high school students from the perspective of ecopsychological types of agent-environment interactions
Authors: Lidskaya Eleonora V.
Published: December 2023

The paper is devoted to an empirical study of the communicative abilities of high school students in the context of ecopsychological types of agent-environment interactions. The relevance of this topic is explained by the need to develop in high school students the ability for dialogic communication in joint activities. Ecopsychological typology of agent-environment interactions and types of personality orientation in communication were used as theoretical premises. The study was conducted on 85 students in the 10th and 11th grades of Vladimir (30 boys and 55 girls) using the “Personality Orientation in Communication” method. The results obtained from this sample show that in 92.6% of cases the communicative abilities of high school students represent monological types of personality orientation. While the dialogic orientation, corresponding to the agent-generating and agent-joint types of interactions, is presented in only 7.4% of cases. The majority of high school students (56.9%) showed an average level of development of such communicative ability as personality orientation in communication. High school students are most likely to have a subjective position in communication. It is expressed in the desire to use communication to manipulate others (manipulative type of orientation), which corresponds to the agent-object type of communicative interactions. At the same time, a significant portion of high school students are characterized by a desire to take an objective position in communication, submitting to the opinions of others (conformal orientation), which corresponds to the agent-subject type of communicative interactions.
Improving the terminology of modern pedagogy as one of the directions of pedagogical semiology
Authors: Dobrova Victoria V.
Published: December 2023

The paper discusses the problem of improving the terminology of modern pedagogy as one of the directions of pedagogical semiology. Pedagogy by now has a largely established conceptual and terminological apparatus, but scientists note the problem of methodological ambivalence. Therefore, clarification and definition of the conceptual apparatus of pedagogy, improvement of its language are extremely relevant at present. The task of clarifying the terminological apparatus of pedagogy is now being addressed by pedagogical semiology, an interdisciplinary field of research that incorporates the findings of semiotics and cognitive linguistics. Characteristic features of pedagogical semiology as a science, as well as the topics of scientific research and studies within this direction are given. Scientific analysis of pedagogical reality processes the material in the form of scientific and pedagogical facts, pedagogical terms, concepts and notions. The unit of semantic representation of any form of scientific reasoning and the basic unit of pedagogical semiology is a concept. The use of the term «concept» allows structuring scientific ideas about the pedagogical object.
Age dynamics of graphic reflection of social identity
Authors: Gudzovskaya Alla A.
Published: December 2023

Social identity recently has become one of the actual subjects of scientific research in social psychology, social cognitive psychology. Social identity reflects conscious and unconscious feelings of a person’s belonging to certain communities, is the context for decision-making in situations of choice. The novelty of the study lies in the analysis of little-conscious aspects of identity, namely the subjective significance of communities to which a person belongs by the fact of his birth or main activity, as well as subjective inclusion in such a community. The author has developed a procedure of graphic representation of social identity based on the techniques used in projective drawing methods. The test person is asked to draw himself and five communities (family, occupation group, locality and country of residence, all people of the world) with the help of circles. This experimental procedure was conducted in nine age groups, starting with 6-7 year olds and ending with working adults. A total of 282 people participated in the experiment. The data (21 indicators) were subjected to factor analysis by the method of principal components. The following results were obtained: for each age group the average sizes of images of self and proposed social communities were revealed, using Student’s t-criterion the conclusions about significant differences in the sizes of images of the country and territory of residence for age groups were obtained. Discussion of results and conclusions. Factor analysis by the principal component method revealed four factors of social identity, which were labeled as: multiple, hierarchical, egocentric, and diffuse social identity. The proposed types of social identity were described, their psychological interpretation was given, and criteria for identification by graphic representation were proposed. The results of the study can be used in pedagogical practice, practice of psychological and pedagogical counseling.
Agency development of high school students in the process of professional self-determination
Authors: Volkova Evgeniya S. , Kaptsov Alexander V.
Published: December 2023

An urgent problem in educational psychology is the effectiveness of students’ professional self-determination. At the same time, for successful self-determination it is necessary to possess the qualities of a full-fledged agent. Scientists, despite differences in the definitions of the concepts “agent” and “agency”, agree on general characteristics: the agent must have independence (autonomy), activity, responsibility, the ability for self-reflection and self-knowledge. All these are necessary qualities for high school students to make a conscious choice of their future profession. Accordingly, the development of student agency becomes particularly important in education. At the same time, students’ value orientations act as one of the components of the subject’s activity, as well as a factor in successful self-determination. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of the agency development of high school students in the process of professional development. The study involved two samples of students (eleventh and ninth grades of a secondary school). Ninth grade students were divided into an experimental group, which received professional self-determination training, and a control group, which received training as usual. Diagnostic sections in the ninth grade took place in three stages: before the training, immediately after the training (19 weeks later) and on the same sample in the 10th grade (7 months after the second section). The questionnaire of the stages of agency development of high school students (OSS-SH) and the projective method of assessing the states of the stages of agency development of students were used as diagnostic methods. Mathematical processing of the obtained data was carried out by using the Wilcoxon T-test to compare changes in parameters over time, and the non-parametric tau-Kendall correlation coefficient to identify relationships. As a result of the study, features of the agency development of high school students in the process of professional self-determination were identified, including the integrity of the stages, the influence of career guidance activities, in this case training, on changes in the states of the stages of agency as well as the relationship between the agency development and the value of the stage for the student and understanding of the necessary steps to achieve the ideal stage level. The practical significance of this study is in substantiating the need for career guidance training for high school students in order to increase educational motivation, independence and the quality of the work they perform.

Küreselleşen dünyada sosyal dengesizlik toplumlar ve ülkeler arasında sosyo-ekonomik açıdan ciddi farklara neden olmuştur. Bu sosyal dengesizliğin göstergelerinden birisi de aile gelirindeki adaletsizliktir. Bu gelir dağılımındaki adaletsizlik öğrencilerin okul hayatını olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Çünkü öğrenci, aile gelirine göre beslenmekte, giyinmekte ve yaşamaktadır. Bu araştırmada amaç, sınıf öğretmenlerinin Millî Eğitim Bakanlığı’nın “5 Milyon Öğrenciye Ücretsiz Yemek Projesi” ile ilgili düşüncelerini incelemektir. Araştırma nitel araştırma yaklaşımı içerisinde yer alan durum çalışmasına göre desenlenmiştir. Araştırmaya kriter örneklem seçme yöntemine göre belirlenen 13 sınıf öğretmeni katılmıştır. Araştırmada veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formundan yararlanılarak elde edilmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen veriler NVivo 9.2 bilgisayar paket programı kullanılarak içerik analizi yöntemi ile yorumlanmıştır. Buna göre; projenin öğrenciler arasında fırsat eşitliğini sağladığı, yapılan yemeklerin öğrencilerin iştahını arttırdığı, projenin öğrencilere dengeli beslenme alışkanlığını kazandırdığı, yemek yerken öğrenciler arasında iletişimin arttığı ve öğrencilerin mutlu olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Bunlara karşın; proje ile ilgili personel eksikliğinin olduğu, bazı okullarda yemekhanelerin bulunmadığı, okula gelen ödeneklerin harcanması konusunda okul idarelerinin yeterince bilgi sahibi olmadığı, bazı yemeklerin öğrenciler tarafından sevilmediği ve proje ile ilgili denetim eksikliğinin olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Çözüm olarak okullara yemekhanelerin yapılması ve hâlihazırda bulunan alanların yemekhane olarak öğrenci özelliklerine göre dizayn edilmesi gerektiği, okullara personel istihdam edilmesi gerektiği ve ihalelerin üst kurumlarca yapılması gerektiği ortaya çıkmıştır.

Authors: SAVCI Ahmet , DİCLE Serap
Published: December 2023

In this study, Ranunculus cornutus DC. (Evlimemedotu) content analysis and some biological activities were investigated. For this purpose, methanol and water extracts of the plant were taken and their phenolic analyzes were determined by LC-MS-MS. Total antioxidant method, FRAP, CUPRAC, iron chelation method, DPPH and ABTS methods were used for antioxidant studies. According to LC-MS results, the maximum was 3261.43 µg/L, vanillic acid 1217.70 µg/L and ferulic acid 769.40 µg/L. According to the antioxidant results, it was determined that water and methanol extracts exhibited lower activity than standard antioxidants. It can be said that the reason for this is the amount of phenolic they contain. However, it was observed that the methanol extract generally had better antioxidant activity than the water extract. Finally, according to the DNA study results, it was determined that water and methanol extracts alone did not have a negative effect on the stable structure of DNA. Since there are no studies with R. cornutus DC., it is thought that this study will make a very important contribution to the literature and provide important data for future studies

Published: December 2023

Due to the increasing crises in energy and environmental factors, the importance of renewable energy is increasing. However, it is gaining importance in developing photovoltaic energy systems. Therefore, great efforts are made to maximize success in accurately modeling PV parameters. Parameter estimation is a complex problem and requires advanced design tools such as optimization techniques because the current voltage (I–V) characteristics of PVs are nonlinear. This study investigates the best technique for the most accurate estimation of the parameters obtained in single-diode and double-diode cases. The Gray Wolf Optimization (GWO), Improved Gray Wolf Optimization (IGWO), Sine Cosine Algorithm (SCA), Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), and Multi-Verse Optimizer (MVO) are the algorithms used in this paper. Apart from the literature, this study considers that the PV parameter extraction problem is not just an offline optimization problem but also a real-time optimization issue. The performance of all methods has been compared with experimental data. The lowest error on minimum iteration and highest convergence accuracy have been achieved for offline optimization by using IGWO. The results clearly state that the IGWO is not usable in real-time applications even though IGWO is the best optimizer in offline optimization.

Published: December 2023

Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among women worldwide. It typically begins with abnormal cell growth in the breast glands or milk ducts and can spread to other tissues. Many breast cancer cases start with the presence of a mass and should be carefully examined. Masses can be monitored using X-ray-based digital mammography images, including right craniocaudal, left craniocaudal, right mediolateral oblique, and left mediolateral oblique views. In this study, automatic mass detection and localization were performed on mammography images taken from the full-field digital mammography VinDr-Mammo dataset using the YOLOv8 deep learning model. Three different scenarios were tested: raw data, data with preprocessing to crop breast regions, and data with only mass regions cropped to a 1.2x ratio. The data were divided into 80% for training and 10% each for validation and testing. The results were evaluated using performance metrics such as precision, recall, F1-score, mAP, and training graphs. At the end of the study, it is demonstrated that the YOLOv8 deep learning model provides successful results in mass detection and localization, indicating its potential use as a computer-based decision support system.
Pollen and Capsule Morphological Studies on Verbascum Hybrids (Scrophulariaceae) in Mardin, Turkey and Their Taxonomic Importance
Authors: MUNGAN KILIÇ Fatma , KILIÇ Murat
Published: December 2023

Verbascum (Scrophulariaceae, Lamiales), usually known as “Mullein”, is widely distributed in Eurasia and North Africa, but the highest taxa diversity is in Anatolia, the southern Balkans, the Middle East, the Caucasus and northwestern Iran and is represented by approximately 360 species in the World. As hybridization is very dense in the genus Vesbascum, the high frequency of morphological variations has been intricated in species delimitation. In this study, pollen and capsule morphology of three hybrid Verbascum taxa [Verbascum x calcicolum Hub.-Mor., V. x kotschyoides Hub.-Mor., and V. x nusaybinense Hub.- Mor.] were investigated. They are hybrids wild distributed in the province of Mardin in Southeastern Anatolia. Pollen slides were prepared according to the Woodhouse method, pollen and seed morphologies were examined with microscope. In general terms, aperture types were tricolporate, but also tricolpate aperture types were observed. The shapes of the pollen grains were determined as oblate-spheroidal and subprolate. The sculpture was reticulate in all cases. The seeds not developed. The capsules are pubescent, densely covered by branched hairs, or loosely by glandular hairs, depending on species. The results of this study showed that morphological features, such as pollen shape, polar axis length (P), equatorial diameter (E), aperture type, exine and intine thickness, colpus, and por measurement, show differences that can be taken into consideration in the systematic discrimination within the taxa. The capsule showed that substantial taxonomic insight can be gained from examining the capsule characteristics of Verbascum, particularly at the species level.
Sex Ratio Estimation of Green Turtle Hatchlings in Kazanlı Beach, Türkiye
Authors: CANDAN Onur
Published: December 2023

Sea turtles are distributed worldwide, mostly in the tropical and subtropical waters. All seven species of sea turtles in the world have temperature-dependent sex determination. The pivotal temperature for hatchlings with a female:male ratio of 1:1 is usually around 29°C. Female hatchlings are observed at values higher than the pivotal temperature and male hatchlings at lower values. It is expected that wildlife threatened by global warming will be more severely affected, especially species that sex is determined by temperature. This study was carried out by measuring air, sand and nest temperatures during two nesting seasons at Kazanlı Beach, one of the largest nesting sites of Chelonia mydas (Green turtle) in the Mediterranean. Sand grain size was also measured, and gonads of dead hatchlings were examined histologically. Both sand (n=4) and nest (n=6) temperatures were above the pivotal temperature (between 29.1-31.6°C) in the study area. According to the estimation based on temperatures, hatchlings were female (♀>50%) biased. Of the hatchling samples, 75 were examined histologically. According to histological examination, the female:male ratio was 2:1. According to the direct examination and indirect estimation; the sex ratio of green turtle hatchlings in Kazanlı Beach, one of the highest hatchling producing nesting sites of the Mediterranean, was reported for the first time in this study. There is a need to fill the data gaps regarding sex ratios, especially for major beaches with high hatchling production. Knowing the temperature profiles in and around the nest and sex ratios of hatchlings is critical for the development of conservation measures for endangered sea turtles.

Objective. To describe the iron status profile and to propose hemoglobin adjustment factors for altitude for children aged 6 to 8 months in Lima, Arequipa, Cusco and Puno. Materials and methods. Cross-sectional study in children aged 6 to 8 months from four cities. We measured hemoglobin and other iron biomarkers, C-reactive protein (CRP), among others. To estimate the adjustment equation, we applied an exponential regression. We excluded children with iron deficiency (ID) and/or inflammation. Results. The proportions of ID were higher in Puno and Arequipa, while inflammation did not exceed 19% in any of the cities. Hemoglobin showed an exponential increase at higher altitude. The adjustment equation was: 10.34249 x (1.00007 ^ Alt). Conclusions. Children residing in Arequipa and Puno showed higher rates of ID and lower iron reserves; furthermore, the increase in hemoglobin by altitude was exponential, showing the need to adjust hemoglobin at altitude.

Authors: Díaz Núñez Diego , Rivera-Torres Boris
Published: December 2023

Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects several people around the world. Some domesticated crops in South America have been reported to be a promising source of bioactive compounds with possible hypoglycemic effects. In this review we aimed to explore and synthesize the existing evidence in the scientificliterature on the hypoglycemic effect of Andean crops and their bioactive components. We included differenttypes of primary studies from three databases (Scopus, Pubmed and Web of Science) during June 2023, without restrictions, by means of controlled and uncontrolled language, according to the PICO strategy. We found 30 studies conducted between 2005 and 2022 that reported a hypoglycemic effect, through enzymatic inhibition in in vitro studies and significant glucose reduction in preclinical studies and clinical trials. This effect was attributed to different bioactive components that were identified with independent mechanisms related to glucose reduction and enzymatic inhibition. The most commonly used cultures were Smallanthus sonchifolius (9/30), Lupinus mutabilis (5/30) and Solanum tuberosum (4/30). The hypoglycemic effect was assigned to bioactive components such as polyphenols, flavonoids, phenolic acid subclasses, fructans, alkaloids, hydrolysates, anthocyanins and dietary fiber. Despite encouraging results from different types of studies, further research on their mechanisms of action, theirefficacy compared to conventional treatments and their long-term safety is required for these to be consideredsafe and effective treatments.

Objetivo. Determinar la prevalencia y los factores asociados al ingreso a la unidad de cuidados intensivos en niños y adolescentes con neumonía adquirida en la comunidad. Materiales y métodos. Estudio observacional transversal analítico en el Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño San Borja en el 2019, la muestra estuvo conformada por niños de mayores de un mes y menores de 18 años que ingresaron a emergencia con diagnóstico de neumonía adquirida en la comunidad. Se utilizó la regresión de Poisson para evaluar asociación. Resultados. Se evaluaron 166 pacientes con diagnóstico de neumonía, 94 (56,6%) fueron varones y la mediana de la edad fue 24 meses (RIC: 11‒48). La mayoría de los pacientes presentó un puntaje PIRO modificado leve de 136 (81,9%), 31 (18,7%) pacientes tuvieron neumonía complicada y 24 (14,5%) ingresaron a cuidados intensivos. A mayor edad se halló menor prevalencia de ingreso a UCI (RP=0,99, IC95%: 0,98‒0,99); la gravedad evaluada con el score PIRO modificado (RP=3,40, IC95%: 1,46‒7,93) y la presencia de neumonía complicada (RP: 5,88, IC95%: 2,46‒14,06) estuvieron asociados al ingreso a cuidados intensivos. Conclusiones. En niños con neumonía adquirida en la comunidad la prevalencia de ingreso a cuidados  intensivos fue de 14,5%. Los pacientes con neumonía de menor edad, con mayor gravedad evaluada con el puntaje PIRO modificado y con neumonía complicada tienen mayor prevalencia de ingreso a cuidados intensivos.

Objetivo. Identificar las áreas de mayor concentración de accidentes de tránsito y lesionados en el Área Metropolitana de San Salvador (AMSS). Materiales y métodos. Los accidentes de tránsito se analizaronespacialmente mediante la ubicación puntual y por la sumatoria de eventos en áreas de 200 m2. La ubicación puntual se analizó mediante «análisis de vecinos más cercanos», mientras que las áreas con la sumatoria de accidentes de tránsito se analizaron mediante Gi* de Getis-Ord para obtener los puntos calientes. Los puntos calientes resultantes con mayor concentración de accidentes de tránsito en el AMSS se evaluaron en campo mediante un formulario de observación de las características de infraestructura y seguridad vial. Resultados. Al analizar 8191 accidentes de tránsito reportados entre 2014‒2018, se identificaron cinco áreas con mayor cantidad de accidentes de tránsito y lesionados, principalmente sobre vías primarias. Conclusión. Los sitios de mayor concentración de accidentes de tránsito y lesionados se caracterizan por una infraestructura vial con daños considerables y falta de sistemas de seguridad para conductores y peatones. El análisis espacial de los accidentes de tránsito y lesionados puede contribuir a mejorar la vigilancia y seguridad vial en el AMSS.

Objective. To determine the association between pre-bronchoscopy time of illness and post-bronchoscopydischarge time in pediatric patients with foreign body aspiration. Materials and methods. Retrospective cohort study. Medical records were studied and reviewed at the Pediatric Emergency Hospital of Lima, Peru. We reviewed 324 medical records, and selected 183 because they had the diagnosis of foreign body aspiration and complete data. Fisher’s exact test and Mann Whitney U test were used for the bivariate analysis, while Poisson regression was used to calculate the Relative Risk (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI). Results. We included 183 patients, of whom 65.6% were men with a mean age of 2.4 years. The most frequent location of the foreign body was the right bronchial tree and most of them were made of organic material. The majority (72.7%) of patients were discharged before 24 hours. We found an association between the time of illness prior to bronchoscopy and post-bronchoscopy discharge time (RR: 2.94, 95%CI: 1.72 – 5.01). Conclusions. The time of illness prior to bronchoscopy and the length of hospital stay after removal of the foreign body were significantlyassociated when adjusted for age, sex, type of foreign body and mouth sweep maneuver as a rescue measure. Our findings are relevant because they highlight the importance of early care, timely diagnosis and early management of pediatric patients.

Background: Different factors regulate the insulin level in blood. Earlier C-peptide was considered as by product of insulin biosynthesis and its role in body seems to be negligible. C-peptide at low physiological concentrations mimics the effects of insulin. However, in the presence of elevated level of insulin concentrations concomitant raised level of C-peptide may blunt peripheral effects of insulin age. This study was carried out to verify the age, sex, and BMI wise variation in level of C-peptide among apparently healthy individual and its contribution in fine-tuning of the tissue’s metabolism under different physiological conditions.
Methods: This is a prospective cross-sectional observational study. Estimation of serum c-peptide level was done by solid phase direct sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit method. Glucose is estimated by Glucose oxidase peroxidase (GOD-POD) end point colorimetric method and HbA1C was estimated by ion exchange resin method (kit method).
Result: Serum C-peptide level is significantly high in advance age and males in compared to younger age and females respectively. The mean level of serum C-peptide is higher in higher body mass index (BMI) group compared to lower, but this difference is statistically insignificant.
Conclusions: In normal subjects, the level of C-peptide shows positive correlation with age and BMI. Males have higher level of C-peptide in comparison to females. Apart from these variation C-peptide contributes to different biological effects.
Theruptor Novo, a novel wound dressing in the management of infected diabetic foot ulcer: two case reports
Authors: M. Kale Subhash
Published: December 2023

India is the world's center for diabetes, with an estimated 77 million adults over the age of 18 having type 2 diabetes and nearly 25 million are pre-diabetics. Approximately 15-20% of diabetic patients will suffer from diabetic foot ulcer at least once in their lifetime which can also lead to deformity and amputation if timely intervention is not done. The presence of at least two classic signs of inflammation or purulence is the basis of clinical diagnosis of diabetic foot infection and it usually presents with mono/polymicrobial etiology. The surgeon must know the course of the infection, principles of non-healing wound management, and biomechanics of the foot for an optimal outcome. We described 2 case reports who presented with non-healing infected wounds. Healing was achieved through multidisciplinary team approach, patient education about diabetes, off-loading regime and regular wound dressing using Theruptor Novo.

Authors: Biswas Abhijit , Ramasubramanian Krishnan
Published: December 2023

Health promotion methodology of evolved homeopathy is very useful to achieve near zero disease-levels in the various organs of a person’s body, only for those persons, who are health-conscious and want to continue sincerely with the preventive medicines of evolved homeopathy and digital homeopathy, and occasional GDV (Gas discharge visualization) check-up, as may be necessary. The methodology of evolved homeopathy utilizes medicines of digital homeopathy and evolved homeopathy for prevention and cure, according to the first fundamental-principle of cure (“Prevention is better than cure”). True “nipping in the bud” of any disease from a patient’s body is possible only when the treatment starts based not on a patient’s perception of symptom(s) but on a whole-body diagnostic chart generated by a sophisticated device like the GDV scanner. Based on the experience of the persons who are utilizing the side-effect free preventive and curative medicines of evolved-homeopathy and digital homeopathy for preventing and curing problems of various organs to achieve near zero disease-level, it is clear that the methodology of evolved-homeopathy and digital homeopathy for health promotion, is very effective. It seems evident that for the sincere followers of the three fundamental-principles of cure as detailed below, health promotion methodology of evolved homeopathy and digital homeopathy, is very beneficial. When the condition of near zero disease-levels in the various organs of a person’s body, is achieved, about 20 years age-reduction is felt along with improvement of physical and mental stamina.
