Authors: Delgado-García Diemen , Miranda-Astorga ¨Patricio , Aldaz Santiago , Sultan Nayab , Delgado-Cano Ashley , Delgado-Ostaiza Karla , Gonzales-Perez Carlos
Published: April 2024

Introducción: Se ha documentado ampliamente el daño que puede causar la exposición al amianto en los seres humanos, ocasionando enfermedades como la asbestosis, placas pleurales, cáncer pulmonar, mesotelioma, engrosamiento de la pleura, derrames pleurales, entre otras.
Objetivo: Describir los efectos en salud que ocasiona la exposición a fibra de amianto, la legislación vigente en torno a la manipulación, la prohibición del uso de Asbesto-Amianto en Chile y la forma de abordar la calificación médico legal por la exposición a fibra de amianto.
Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda exhaustiva en bases de datos médicas reconocidas, entre las que se incluyen PubMed, Scopus, MEDLINE y de la base de datos de la Biblioteca del Congreso Nacional de Chile/BCN, durante los años 2022 y 2023.
Resultados: En Chile, las patologías relacionadas con las fibras de amianto, tales como la asbestosis y el mesotelioma, han sido motivo de preocupación debido a los riesgos para la salud asociados con la exposición a este material. La asbestosis es una enfermedad pulmonar intersticial provocada por la inhalación de fibras de amianto. La fisiopatología que conduce a las alteraciones pleurales por fibras de amianto se debe a la infiltración pleural y a la activación de células inflamatorias, como macrófagos, que liberan mediadores inflamatorios y factores de crecimiento. La aparición mesotelioma pleural varía según los niveles de exposición al amianto en la población.
Conclusiones: Evitar la exposición al amianto, es la forma más efectiva de prevenir la aparición y/o prevalencia de enfermedades derivadas de este agente.

Published: April 2024

Anemia is a health disorder marked by a reduction in hemoglobin concentration (Hb), hematocrit (Ht), and erythrocyte count. Iron deficiency anemia is marked by a reduction in hemoglobin synthesis, resulting in the production of hypochromic microcytic erythrocytes. The interest over time in the topic of iron deficiency anemia throughout the world is increasing. Many studies associated with iron deficiency anemia have been conducted by various authors and are increasing from year to year. The aim of the present review was to evaluate the literature on iron deficiency published between 2010 and 2023, with a focus on the trend in number of publications and citations, the trend of the link strength on the topic of iron deficiency anemia, and the low density of articles published from 2010 to 2023, to determine the trend and novelty of the topic of iron deficiency anemia. This review was a systematic study with the stages conforming to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) diagram. The data on scientific publications on the topic of iron deficiency anemia were collected using dimensions.ai from 2010 to 2023. The data were subsequently analyzed with the Vosviewer program. This review resulted in the following findings. First, the number of publications and citations on the topic of iron deficiency anemia increased exponentially from year to year. Second, there were 139 items, 3 clusters, and 5579 links, with a link strength of 18253 for the topic of iron deficiency anemia. Third, the recommended study topics connected with iron deficiency anemia are topics of low density, namely clinician, pathogenesis, and biofortification. The study findings may assist the interested researchers to know the trends and novelties of studies on iron deficiency anemia, and may recommend suggestions for further research.

Published: April 2024

A non-Hodgkin lymphoma with rapid growth and aggressive behavior is Burkitt's lymphoma. Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) is also an oral cancer of lymphoid origin with a high percentage of occurrences and includes an advanced B-cell neoplasm. Fundamentally, the exact cause of BL is unknown. This disease commonly occurs in people with weakened immune systems or children related to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and chronic malaria. Burkitt lymphoma can be fatal. Burkitt lymphoma is a rare but highly aggressive (fast-growing) B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). This disease may affect the jaw, central nervous system, bowel, kidneys, ovaries, or other organs Cancer cells in BL can spread to all parts of the body. Inhibiting the proliferation of BL oral cancer cells requires a viable and efficient plan. One of them is using medicinal plants whose antitumor potential needs to be scientifically tested. However, Burkitt lymphoma is often very responsive to the currently recommended intensive chemotherapy regimens, and cure rates for this disease remain high. Studies show people who receive treatment right away have high rates of remission, meaning after treatment they don’t have symptoms or signs of the condition. The aim of this review is to discuss Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) in diagnosis and treatment. Burkitt's lymphoma, or Raji cell, is a B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is very aggressive

Authors: Setyawati Any , Saraswati Dea Rachnadewi
Published: April 2024

Tooth color can change because of several factors that are needed for teeth whitening. Teeth whitening can be performed on vital and non-vital teeth. Home bleaching is a vital whitening treatment that many people choose because practice can be done at home. Bleaching agent used for home bleaching techniques is 10% -22% carbamide peroxide. However, carbamide peroxide has side effects on the oral cavity. So, several previous researches have examined natural ingredients that contain the ability to whiten teeth. One of them is 100% watermelon extract which is proven to whitenteeth by immersing. However, this method cannot be applied clinically, so the purpose of this research is to know the effect of watermelon extract on tooth discoloration with rub techniques application. This type of research is an experimental laboratory. 10 maxillary premolars were discolored which were divided       into two groups (watermelon extract and 10% carbamide peroxide). Each group was given the treatment 3 hours per-day for 14 days. After the bleaching process, the teeth are cleaned and immersed in a solution of saliva. Before and after bleaching, they were measured with a shade guide and spectrophotometer. Data analysis used paired t-test and wilcoxon. The results of paired t-test on group 1 p=0.024 (p <0.05). The wilcoxon test results on group 2 with p=0.043 (p <0.05). Both have influence, but the application of 10% watermelon extract is lower than 10% carbamide peroxide. It can be concluded: 100% watermelon extract with rubbing techniques has an effect on teeth whitening. Although, lower than 10% carbamide peroxide

Authors: Karthikeyan Manasha , Kumar Govardhan Jagadeesh , Radhakrishnan Indradevi
Published: April 2024

Background: Melasma, derived from the Greek word "melas" meaning "black", manifests as an acquired, more or less symmetrical hypermelanosis of sun-exposed skin. This study aimed to compare and evaluate the efficacy and safety of intradermal injection of tranexamic acid and platelet-rich plasma in treating various types of melasma.
Methods: Conducted from June 2022 to December 2023 at the outpatient department of dermatology, Sri Lakshmi Narayana institute of medical sciences, Puducherry, this split-face prospective study involved 40 melasma cases. Tranexamic acid (4 mg/ml) was intradermally injected into the right side of the face, while PRP was injected into the left side. Improvement was assessed using the modified Melasma area severity index (MASI) grading system and dermoscopy, measuring disease severity and percentage of improvement before and after therapy on both sides of the face.
Results: The study comprised predominantly females (80%) aged 20 to 30 years (50%), followed by those aged 30 to 40 years (35%). Most cases (93%) exhibited a gradual onset, with centrofacial (52.5%) and malar (37.5%) patterns being predominant. Mixed pattern (67.5%) was common. Pre-treatment mean MASI scores for tranexamic acid and PRP sides were 7.54 and 6.92, respectively, with post-treatment scores of 4.6 and 2.83, respectively.
Conclusions: Intradermal PRP demonstrated significantly superior efficacy over intradermal tranexamic acid in managing melasma, particularly in the longer term. Thus, PRP, coupled with good compliance, may substantially reduce the disease burden compared to conventional tranexamic acid treatment.

Background: Torque teno virus (TTV) is a globally prevalent virus in humans, yet comprehensive knowledge about its prevalence, predominant transmission routes, and pathogenesis remains limited. This study aimed to assess the frequency of TTV infection among healthy blood donors in Yazd, Iran.
Materials and Methods: A total of 236 healthy blood donors, devoid of HIV/HBV/HCV infection markers, participated in the study from 2015 to 2016. Nested Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) utilizing a set of oligo primers for the 5΄- UTR region was employed to detect TTV DNA in serum samples.
Results: The TTV genome was identified in 161 out of 236 (61.2%) healthy blood donors. The mean age for men and women was 43 and 57 years, respectively. Of the participants, 156 were male, and 107 were female. Donor age exhibited a significant association with virus presence (P=0.007); however, gender did not show a statistically significant association with the frequency of TTV infection in healthy blood donors (P=0.3).
Conclusion: The study revealed a notably high frequency of the Torque teno virus in Yazd province, aligning with similar findings globally. Further investigations are warranted to elucidate the clinical implications of the virus in the healthy population.
Effect of Training in Water and Training with Thera-Band on the Frequency Spectrum of Electrical Activity of Lower Limb Muscles in People with Pronated Foot During Walking: A Clinical Trial Study
Authors: Barghamadi Mohsen , Piri Ebrahim
Published: April 2024

Introduction: The ankle joint is one of the most vulnerable joints in the body due to weight bearing. Pronated foot is one of the most common complications of the lower limbs. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of training in water and training with thera-band on the frequency spectrum of electrical activity of lower limb muscles in people with pronated foot during walking.
Methods: The present research was a clinical trial study that was conducted in a semi-experimental and laboratory. The statistical sample of the present study included 45 students of University of Mohaghegh Ardabili who had pronated foot, were selected purposefully and were randomly and equally placed in three groups: TheraBand, exercise in water, and control. The training protocol used for the water training group was based on the sports prescription guidelines of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), and for the training group with the thera-band, it was performed using an orange thera-band in three sets with repetitions of 14 movements. To measure the frequency spectrum of the electrical activity of the lower limb muscles, it was recorded using a wireless surface electromyography device. Likewise, analysis of variance with repeated measurements and Bonferroni post hoc test were used to analyze the data at a significance level of P≤0.05.
Results: The results showed that the interactive effect of time and group on the middle frequency spectrum of electromyography of the vastus medialis muscle in the exercises of the thera-band group during walking had a significant decrease (P=0.02). Other variables from the pre-test stage to the post-test did not show statistically significant differences (P<0.05).
Conclusion: It seems that doing exercises in water and thera-band doesn't statistically have much effect on the frequency spectrum of the electrical activity of the lower limb muscles.

The article defines and considers a range of individual problems related to the functioning of digital financial assets. The features of the issue, accounting and circulation of digital financial assets are noted. It is concluded that the legal facts underlying the emergence of monetary claims for digital financial assets may be different depending on which equity securities are to be issued in the form of a digital financial asset. The measures of protection of the rights and legitimate interests of purchasers of digital financial assets provided for by the law and regulations of the Bank of Russia are considered. The problem of protection of copyright holders of digital financial assets is touched upon. It is concluded that since digital financial assets are not actually a new object of civil rights, but represent a digital way of fixing binding, corporate rights, their protection should be carried out taking into account legal features and the type of relevant subjective right.

Every year, on November 5, criminal investigation officers are honored in Russia, which is timed to coincide with an event that occurred in 1918, when the Central Criminal Investigation Department was established as part of the People’s Commissariat of Internal Affairs of the RSFSR. This tradition originated in the Soviet period, and is continuously honored in the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation. At the same time, criminal investigation originated in the pre-Soviet period, and studying the history of the detective police of the Russian Empire allows us to form a more objective view of the domestic law enforcement system. After the dissolution of the tsarist police in March 1917, the future criminal investigation department underwent reorganization, its units were retained due to the special value of full-time undercover officers who continued to fight crime. The prepared scientific article examines in detail the experience of the formation of detective units and departments in the territory of the Donskoy Army Region, which is valuable for the history of the state and law of Russia and internal affairs bodies.

A importância do livro didático não é de hoje, sua existência data ainda no século XIX. Com o tempo, esse livro obteve diferentes finalidades que Lajolo e Zilberman (2019) retomam e apontam como a cartilha para alfabetização; seleta para aprendizagem literária; manual para as ciências ou profissionalização. Hoje, comumente chamados de livro didático ou apostila. Neste artigo, trabalhamos com um material apostilado de Língua Portuguesa, adotado para o Ensino Médio de um colégio da rede particular de ensino do município de Criciúma (SC), com o objetivo de analisar como a sociolinguística se apresenta antes da reformulação desse  material para cumprir com os pressupostos da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC). Esta pesquisa, de cunho documental, pautou-se em autores como Bortoni-Ricardo (2005), Faraco (2004; 2008) e, principalmente, Bagno (2007; 2013), pois definimos como categoria de análise o que o autor chama de “o jogo dos sete erros”. A discussão dos dados se dá de forma qualitativa, de modo a concluir que, embora o material apresente alguns equívocos, encaminha-se, aos poucos, para uma pedagogia da variação linguística.

Authors: Trevisam Elisaide , Silva de Oliveira Suziane Cristina
Published: April 2024

Addressing the application of biophilia in urban areas, this article aims to analyze the effectiveness of its implementation in promoting sustainable development in its three main dimensions: environmental, economic, and social. The study proposes three specific objectives. Firstly, to highlight the intrinsic connection between humans and nature, examining how this relationship has evolved over time and how the biophilic concept reaffirms it as a fundamental core. Next, to analyze how the 2030 Agenda, a global commitment to sustainable development, relates to biophilic principles, and to assess whether Brazilian legislation is contributing to integrating these principles into urban life in the country. Finally, to investigate and understand how the different dimensions of sustainable development connect to biophilic principles and their impacts on well-being in urban areas, especially in achieving goal 11.7 of the aforementioned Agenda. Considering biophilia as one of the guiding principles of sustainable development, it is concluded that when applied in urban areas, it is a principled conception capable of reconciling urban progress and human relations with nature, providing an increase in individuals' well-being and contributing to the expansion of green areas in urban spaces, as well as collaborating with sustainable precepts. The contribution of this study lies in the need to establish a new paradigm for human interaction with the environment through development that promotes harmonious interaction with nature. To achieve the intended scope, the present research employed the hypothetico-deductive method, starting from the concept of biophilia to analyze whether its principles and guidelines can inspire sustainable actions, involving bibliographic and documentary research.

Authors: Hodge Felicia Schanche , Roca Rey Paolo Ernesto , Samuel-Nakamura Christine , Robbins Wendie , Warda Umme Shefa
Published: April 2024

Objective

To explore associations of chronic disease, perceived wellness, adverse experiences, and suicide ideation among American Indians.

Methods

Thirteen California health clinic registries formed the random household survey sampling frame (N=459) during the first stage of an intervention trial on wellness. Measures included sociodemographics, wellness status, health conditions, suicide ideation, cultural connectivity (speaking tribal language, participating in cultural practices, and feeling connected to the community), and history of physical, sexual, verbal abuse and neglect in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Chi square and Fisher exact tests examined bivariate, unadjusted relationships, while multiple logistic regression analysis examined adjusted associations.

Results

Adverse experiences, specifically physical abuse and sexual abuse, were associated with obesity in childhood. Having poor cultural connectivity was significantly associated with (1) low perceptions of wellness; (2) physical abuse in childhood and adolescence; (3) sexual abuse in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood; and (4) verbal abuse and neglect in adulthood. Poor perception of wellness was also correlated with suicide ideation.

Conclusions

The relationships between suicide ideation, chronic disease, connectivity, and perception of wellness among American Indians are explored in this article.
Technologic and Nontechnologic Barriers to Implementing Behavioral Health Homes in Community Mental Health Settings During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Woltmann Emily M. , Osorio Brianna , Yuan Christina T. , Daumit Gail L. , Kilbourne Amy M.
Published: April 2024

Background

Persons with serious mental illnesses (SMIs) experience disparities in health care and are more likely to die from physical health conditions than the general population. Behavioral health homes are used in public sector mental health programs to deploy collaborative care to improve physical health for those with SMIs. During the COVID-19 pandemic, these programs faced new challenges in delivering care to this vulnerable group.

Purpose

To describe barriers to implementing or sustaining behavioral health homes, experienced by community mental health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the strategies used to address these challenges.

Methods

In-depth qualitative interviews were conducted among the behavioral health workforce in Maryland and Michigan community mental health programs. Interview questions were derived from the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), and responses related to implementing and sustaining health homes during the pandemic were coded and themes were analyzed by using an inductive approach.

Results

Overall, 72 staff members across 21 sites in Maryland and Michigan were interviewed. Implementation barriers/strategies identified occurred across multiple CFIR domains (client, mental health system, physical health system). Interviewees discussed technologic and nontechnologic challenges as well as strategies to address technology issues. Strategies were more frequently discussed by providers when the barrier was viewed at the client level (eg, low technology literacy) versus the broader system (eg, canceled primary care visits).

Conclusions

Community mental health staff described barriers beyond technology in caring for individuals with SMIs and physical health conditions. Further research should examine how implementation strategies address both technologic and nontechnologic barriers to collaborative care.

Published: April 2024

The Disparities Elimination through Coordinated Interventions to Prevent and Control Heart and Lung Disease Risk (DECIPHeR) research program, supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), focuses on developing and testing sustainable interventions to reduce heart and lung disease disparities. This perspective piece reflects on lessons learned during the planning phase (UG3) and outlines the accomplishments of the DECIPHeR Alliance. The article emphasizes the importance of a biphasic (UG3/UH3) funding mechanism, technical assistance, and collaborative subcommittees in achieving success. As DECIPHeR enters phase 2 (UH3), the article anticipates rigorously planned studies addressing social determinants of health and emphasizes the need for effective implementation strategies and equitable research frameworks. The Alliance’s contributions, such as the IM4Equity framework, offer novel approaches to community-engaged health equity and implementation science research. The article explores future opportunities, including dissemination strategies, community engagement, and collaboration with diverse partners, to maximize DECIPHeR’s impact on health disparities beyond cardiovascular and pulmonary health.
The Effect of COVID-19 on Subjective Financial Well-Being
Authors: Tinghög Gustav , Asutay Erkin , Barrafrem Kinga , Västfjäll Daniel
Published: April 2024

We conducted two studies investigating how financial well-being was affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. Across both studies conducted in Sweden, we find that COVID-19 was associated with an overall improvement in subjective financial well-being. The positive effect was driven by a general decline in anxiety toward current financial matters, while financial security with regard to the future declined (Study 1) or was unaffected (Study 2). These results might seem paradoxical. But we propose two explanations: (a) People have a limited ability to worry about two things at the same time. Financial problems might therefore be less emotionally salient in the face of more urgent nonfinancial problems, and (b) Some people likely experienced an initial slack in their household finances due to decreased spending opportunities at the onset of COVID-19, which to some extent could counteract increased worry about future financial security.

Cet article présente les premiers résultats d’une recherche d’évaluation intégrée dans un projet communautaire de consolidation de la paix mis en œuvre au Mali. Appelé « Vestibule de la paix », le projet utilise la recherche-action systémique (SAR) pour aider dans un premier temps divers membres de communautés locales sélectionnées à recueillir et analyser des récits de vie en traçant les moteurs systémiques du conflit. Cette analyse causale motive ensuite la génération de solutions collectives à certains moteurs à travers des Groupes de Recherche-Action facilités (GRA). L’approche SAR, une approche alternative et participative à la consolidation de paix, vise à impliquer et à donner aux acteurs locaux les moyens de renforcer leur capacité d’agir alors qu’ils définissent et négocient des voies innovantes pour parvenir à la paix au quotidien. La conception globale de l’évaluation du projet Vestibule de la Paix utilise l’analyse des contributions comme principale approche d’évaluation, utilisant plusieurs méthodes pour explorer des « point chauds causals » spécifiques. Cet article présente les résultats d'études de cas approfondies de GRA dans le cadre de l'approche SAR dans la région de Kangaba au Mali. Il s'agit d'une méthode utilisée dans la conception de l'analyse de contribution qui vise à décrire le contexte, les mécanismes et la dynamique d'une sélection de GRA. Les sources de données proviennent de la documentation des processus GRA par les membres du GRA et l’équipe du projet, d'entretiens et de séances de réflexion avec les participants et les facilitateurs. Après avoir décrit les processus internes des groupes, l'article rassemble ensuite un récit de contribution pour partager des résultats comparatifs sur la façon dont les processus GRA ont fonctionné pour qui et dans quel contexte.

Using a complex of mineralogical and geochemical methods, the basal sedimentary horizon (“moraine” sedimentary complex) in Lake Nizhny in East Antarctica was studied. The bulk chemical composition, microelements, rock-forming and accessory minerals, and carbon matter were analyzed. According to all data, the studied sedimentary deposits are volcanogenic in nature, at least partially formed due to explosive products of eruptions of Mount Erebus.
Los fondos de comunidad y las finanzas de los pueblos de indios en un área marginal: la provincia de Tabasco a fines del siglo XVIII (1793-1797)
Authors: Jiménez Abollado Francisco Luis
Published: April 2024

Esta investigación es un primer acercamiento para conocer la situación de los bienes y fondos de comunidad de los pueblos de indios de la provincia de Tabasco a fines del siglo xviii, hasta ahora apenas estudiados sistemáticamente. En el “Expediente para conocer el estado de las comunidades de indios de la provincia de Tabasco y arreglarlas como corresponde”, su gobernador, don Miguel Castro y Araoz, y otras autoridades, virreinales y de la Intendencia de Mérida, entre 1793 y 1797, después de conocer la lamentable situación de los fondos de comunidad, van a expresar sus opiniones con el objeto de tomar medidas para ordenar y sistematizar dichos fondos de acuerdo con lo determinado por la Ordenanza de Intendentes de 1786. En un escenario geográfico complejo y marginal, el examen de este expediente deja entrever la delicada situación por la que estaban pasando estos pueblos y las dificultades para contribuir al buen desempeño de las cajas de comunidad.
On issues of foreclosure on tax debt in enforcement proceedings
Authors: Zarubin Aleksei V.
Published: April 2024

The positions of various authors on the issues of enforcement measures and actions used by bailiffs and tax officials to collect tax debts are considered. The possibility of collecting tax debt from a debtor-citizen for his economic activities in a liquidated, bankrupt company or in the absence of its property, when the citizen appropriated financial amounts for himself without paying taxes on them, is touched upon. It is proposed to transfer the powers to foreclose on tax debts and compile statistical reports from the Federal Tax Service to the Federal Bailiffs Service, leaving the function of “seizure” of the debtor’s property at the claim stage of settling tax debts to the Federal Tax Service, so that the debtor would subsequently be unable to avoid its collection by a bailiff. In this regard, it is expected to be quite logical to reduce the number of staff in the Federal Tax Service and increase it in the Federal Bailiffs Service. The introduction of a ban on registration of shell companies is justified by the insufficiency of insurance financial and (or) property assets. The position of the inexpediency of judicial collection of funds by a bailiff due to a debtor from a third party under judicial acts is substantiated, if there is confirmation of financial or property funds due to the debtor by documentary evidence collected at the request of a bailiff or provided by the recoverer – the Federal Tax Service, since foreclosure by a bailiff on these funds is possible and without legal recourse.
Exploring the potential of ai techniques in teaching English as a foreign language: A systematic literature review
Authors: Almehmadi Wesam Saad
Published: April 2024

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and its integration into different fields, including language teaching, have inspired a growing body of literature. Scholars have particularly examined the integration of AI techniques into the teaching of English as a foreign language (EFL). However, it is becoming more challenging to identify the most suitable and efficient tools for implementation in EFL education because of the massive amount of innovation. Accordingly, in this systematic review, we examine the latest literature on the integration of AI into EFL teaching. The objective of this study is to explore how AI is being incorporated into this field, its impact on enhancing core English skills, and the potential pedagogical implications. A total of 284 articles published between 2019 and 2023 were initially identified from the most popular databases, including ERIC, ScienceDirect, JSTOR, ProQuest, and Scopus. Following pre-established inclusion and exclusion criteria, 13 papers were selected for the final review. The findings of this review highlight the benefits of using different AI techniques such as chatbots, automated writing evaluation, and writing assistance technologies in the instruction of fundamental EFL skills, namely speaking, listening, and writing. This review also provides useful insights and indicates some promising directions regarding the appropriate and effective application of AI in EFL classrooms.

El Diario Oficial de la Federación en México publicó el 10 de mayo de 2021 el “Proyecto de Modificación de la NOM-083-SEMARNAT-2003” (Proyecto-083-SEMARNAT-2021), para la correcta disposición de los residuos sólidos urbanos y de manejo especial, que considera la actualización de tecnologías y los compromisos ante el cambio climático. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue analizar la NOM-083-SEMARNAT-2003 y su Proyecto-083-SEMARNAT-2021, así como evaluar bajo sus criterios tres sitios de disposición final (SDF), para determinar las áreas de oportunidad y los retos que implica el cumplimiento de las modificaciones propuestas bajo el enfoque de la sostenibilidad. Para ello se elaboraron cuadros comparativos, se clasificaron los criterios en las categorías social, ambiental, técnico y económico y, se compararon con el Real Decreto 646/2020 de España. La evaluación de los SDF con ambas normas Mexicanas, se realizó utilizando tablas de verificación. En el Proyecto-083-SEMARNAT-2021 se incluyeron 44 criterios, se modificó la clasificación de los SDF y los requerimientos para el tipo D. La NOM-083-SEMARNAT-2003 y el Proyecto-083-SEMARNAT-2021 priorizan la categoría ambiental (53 % y 47%, respectivamente) y la categoría social es 10 % menor que la normatividad española. El cumplimiento con el Proyecto-083-SEMARNAT-2021 fue menor en 1.6 %, 2.6 % y 8.3 % para los SDF de Tenango del Valle, Aculco y Xalatlaco, Estado de México respectivamente. Los resultados ratifican que los requerimientos del Proyecto-083-SEMARNAT-2021 son más riguroso y aunque implican mayor inversión, su implementación disminuirá el impacto ambiental y social, lo cual contribuirá a los compromisos signados de la Agenda 2030.

Published: April 2024

To achieve rapid post-earthquake repair of self-centering ribbed floor flat beam frame structures, a ductile hybrid joint consisting of dog bone weakened energy dissipating steel bars connected to the upper and lower column sections through high-strength threads based on the damage control design concept is proposed. By moving the ductile energy dissipating zone out to the locally weakened section of the energy dissipating steel bars and the locally unbonded prestressed steel bars in the core area, the residual deformation was limited and the seismic performance was improved. Based on the working principle of hybrid joints, low cycle loading tests were conducted on two joint specimens to analyze the influence of lateral prestress on the seismic performance of the hybrid joints. Numerical modeling methods were used to compare the position of the energy-consuming steel bars in the composite layer and the friction performance of joints. The research results indicated that the hybrid joint had stable load-bearing, deformation, and energy dissipation capabilities, with damage primarily concentrated on the energy-consuming steel bars. Even at an inter-story displacement angle of 5.5%, the upper and lower column segments remained elastic. After unloading, the connection seam at the joint was closed, and the self-centering performance was good. When the inter-story displacement angle reached 5.5%, the lateral prestress increased from 150 kN to 250 kN, the ultimate bearing capacity of the joint increased by 16.3%, and the cumulative energy consumption increased by 30.0%. The influence of the friction coefficient of the joint surface on the structural performance was set at a threshold of 0.7. When it was less than the threshold, the ultimate bearing capacity and initial stiffness of the joint increased with an increase in the friction coefficient. After reaching the threshold, the increase in the ultimate bearing capacity of the joint slowed down, and the rate of stiffness degradation gradually accelerated. This joint had excellent seismic performance and can also achieve post-earthquake repair of structures.
