La presencia antropológico-filosófica de Max Scheler en la obra de Paulo Freire: El ser humano como ser de apertura
Authors: Muñoz Gaviria Diego Alejandro
Published: November 2021

Este texto pretende reconstruir, en las obras tempranas de Paulo Freire Educación como Práctica de la libertad (1969) y Pedagogía del Oprimido (1970),la presencia de la Antropología Filosófica Moderna de Max Scheler en su libro El Puesto del Hombre en El Cosmos (1928),lo que origina una Antropología Filosófica de la Apertura. La recepción que Freire hace de las tesis de Scheler se centra en la recuperación de la consideración del ser humano como ser excéntrico, es decir, llamado a romper consigo mismo para llegar a ser más. En Freire la excentricidad humana se concreta en tres aspectos o subcategorías antropológicas de la apertura: la diferencia ser humano - animal, la apertura humana y el diálogo humanizador. Queda como asunto para seguir investigando: la conexión, en Paulo Freire, de la excentricidad humana desde una antropología de la apertura con la relacionalidad y la liberación.

Published: November 2021

This study was conducted in the midst of the lack of studies on local government communication in developing countries. Existing studies tend to attribute performance in this area to central government. The contribution of this study is related to exploring the practice of government communication in the context of local government in countries towards democracy. The author uses the communication of the local government of South Kalimantan Province in its services to stakeholders as a case study. The results of the analysis of various documents, observations and in-depth interviews related to the communication performance of local government in South Kalimantan from January to October 2020 were compiled and analyzed using Miles and Huberman data analysis techniques. In conclusion, the results of the study show that the quality of local government communication is influenced by various factors, both structural and management. Although management factors remain important, in the case of South Kalimantan, structural factors have more influence on local government communications. While the communication performance of local government has not involved active participation from the bottom, it is more elite-oriented than public-oriented. Local government officials are less responsive and still communicate downward, so that the ideas of professionalizing local government communication are still limited to expectations rather than reality. This study recommends that local government communication can be effective if it is participatory, ie has a vision and mission of community empowerment and citizen involvement in participation for local government policy planning and implementation.

Authors: Lima Lucas Louzada Mendes de , Martins Tagnã Aparecido , Moura Leonardo José Spatini , Duarte Pedro Henrique , Tempest Leandro Moreira
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Prenatal dental care is extremely important, as it requires a series of specific care for pregnant patients. There is a need for specific care with the health of the mouth and informing the patient of essential care for her and her baby's health. Also, the microorganisms that cause these diseases can migrate to the uterus and cause premature births. Several studies show that dental care was considered safe for the mother and fetus throughout the entire period of pregnancy. Objective: To carry out a brief systematic review of the literature to elucidate the main considerations for success during the treatment of oral health in pregnant women. Methods: The research was carried out from May 2021 to June 2021 and developed based on Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar, following the Systematic Review-PRISMA rules. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results: A total of 244 articles were found. A total of 76 articles were evaluated in full and 19 were included and evaluated in the present study. A total of 3 Studies with a High Risk of Bias and 1 Study with Uncertain Risk. Studies have suggested a protective effect of prenatal oral health care against the onset of caries in infancy and up to before 4 years of age. The transport of S. mutans in children was also significantly reduced in the intervention group. Children exposed to the use of maternal substances had a higher incidence of hospitalization for dental caries than unexposed children. Thus, inadequate prenatal education in oral health can negatively impact the quality of oral hygiene in children. It is imperative to develop strategies to improve oral health and develop a health system strengthening by interprofessional collaboration in the prenatal phase of pregnant women. Furthermore, an inverse relationship was observed between 25(OH)D levels and the number of decayed primary teeth. Conclusion: Taking care of oral health is part of the daily rhythm of personal hygiene. The monitoring of a dental surgeon during pregnancy is considered to prevent and treat the pregnant woman's oral diseases and clarify the doubts of future mothers since the baby's oral health begins to establish itself during the gestational period.
The role of the dental surgeon in the early diagnosis of oral cancer: a concise systematic review
Authors: Altrão Gabriele , Mendes Filho Alvaro da Rocha , Tempest Leandro Moreira
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Oral cancers (OC) represent more than 90% of cases. It is estimated that more than 400,000 new cases of oral cancer are diagnosed each year worldwide. OC is preventable as most of the different identified risk factors, such as tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and betel nut chewing, are behaviors that increase the likelihood of the disease. Surgical biopsy remains the gold standard, but adjunctive tools have been developed to aid diagnoses, such as vital toluidine blue staining and autofluorescence imaging. Objective: To emphasize and present the importance of the dental surgeon in the early diagnosis and prevention of oral cancer. Methods: The survey was conducted from July 2021 to August 2021 and developed based on Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar, following the rules of Systematic Review-PRISMA. Study quality was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results: Early detection and treatment of OC were found to be important predictors for improving survival and reducing mortality. A thorough clinical inspection of the oral cavity can detect up to 99% of oral cancers. Other diagnostic types have been developed to help overcome the limits of standard oral clinical examination, highlighting toluidine blue staining, light-based detection techniques, and salivary biomarkers. Self-examination is an effective strategy to reduce the levels of mortality and morbidity caused by this pathology. A gain of 8.09% more in sensitivity and 11.36% more in specificity was observed with the fluorescence test. Conclusion: The findings clearly showed that early diagnosis of oral cancer is essential to increase the chances of cure and survival of patients, avoiding invasive surgical intervention. Currently, there are several diagnostic tools for screening and visual devices for the early detection of oral lesions through auxiliary methods, logically maintaining biopsy as the gold standard.
Otkrivanje homerovskog koda / Discovering the Homeric code
Authors: Mesihović Salmedin
Published: November 2021

From the late Archaic period of Hellenic history to modern times, a large number of papers, studies, and books dealing with the Iliad and the Odyssey have been published. One reason for this is that Homer’s epics offer so many opportunities for exploration. This was also the motivation for writing this paper which deals with the question of the appearance of Thersites in the Iliad. Thersites appears in only one episode, with unusual speech and behavior in relation to what other characters in the epic say and do. This conspicuous and unique appearance of his must have been the result of a certain hidden desire of the author of the Iliad himself. It is possible that in fact Thersites in this case served as a kind of alter ego of the author who sought to conceal, within the aristocratic and elitist milieu for which the epic itself was made, in a very skillful way his real opinion of the Trojan War and the aristocracy. Thersites and his rage could also represent a kind of hidden Homeric code, of which there may be several more in the Iliad.

Staked and unstaked and four treatment levels (0, 10, 20 and 30 kg per hectare) were evaluated. The study was conducted as a 2x1 factorial laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Treatment means were separated using least significant difference (LSD0.05). The result generated from the study showed that number of fruits, number of marketable fruits and weight of fruits. Staking had no significant effect on number of fruits, but showed significant effect on number of branches, number of leaves and plant height. The staked treatment constantly performed better with higher values than the non-staked treatment. Result obtained from data analysis shows that Cucumber growth, yields and yield components were enhanced with the incorporation of Poultry droppings across various treatment rates. Hence for maximum production of cucumber staking and optimum sheep dropping should be adopted.

This correlational study explored the relationship between informal lenderâ€™s practices and profitability of fifty-three (53) rice retailers in city of Borongan using a researcher-made-three part questionnaire on the business profile, level of practices among informal lenders and weekly income of the respondents. Data were sourced out from rice retailers who lent sum of money from â€œ5-6â€ informal lenders, and were utilized using descriptive and inferential analysis test at .05 level of significance. Findings revealed that Majority of the respondents had been in the middle years of retailing business, used an average initial capital sourced out from their personal savings and are earning an average weekly income. The respondentsâ€™ perceived that informal lenders assess clientsâ€™ financial needs and willingness to pay without requiring collateral from them and that rice-retailers reloan due to fast processing of funds and the great customer service. Using regression analysis, year in business was found to be a significant predictor of increase in the profitability of rice retailing services. While, no significant relationship was seen between the rice retailersâ€™ weekly net income and the level of practice among informal lenders. The researcher recommends that government and non-government agencies to provide intervention that will improve the microbusiness enterprise in the market using the help of informal and formal lending institutions and that wider scope of the study should be made to include other small business sectors that are affected by informal lenders.

The study presents the first data on biodiversity of macrophyte flora and vegetation of Paučko Lake, which is recognized as an area of great natural, landscape and hydrological value in the Protected Landscape “Konjuh”. Paučko Lake has a small surface and it’s located at 711 m a.s.l. in the catchment area of the Drinjača River. The aquatic and marsh vegetation were studied during spring and summer in 2018 using the traditional Zürich-Montpellier approach. The vegetation of Paučko Lake is comprised of aquatic and marsh associations of the classes Potamogetonetea Klika in Klika et Novák 1941 and Phragmito-Magnocaricetea Klika in Klika et Novák 1941. The following aquatic and marsh plant associations were identified: Myriophyllo-Potametum Soó 1934, Scirpo-Phragmitetum australis W. Koch 1926, Thelypterido palustris-Phragmitetum australis Kuiperex van Donselaar et al. 1961, Schoenoplectetum lacustris Chouard 1924, Typhetum latipholiae Lang. 1973 and Scirpetum silvatici Ht et H-ić prov. (in Ht et al.1974). Rare vulnerable taxa Thelypteris palustris Schott and Menyanthes trifoliata L. were recorded in emerged littoral communities, whose habitats are under successional changes caused by excessive macrophyte overgrowth by competitor species. Restoration measures are necessary to be taken to preserve the habitats of endangered species of the Paučko Lake.

Parasitology researches were conducted during 2017 in the middle course of the river Sava near Orašje. All results from this study were tested with the use of nonparametric tests (χ2, Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman test of corellation) in the statistical package STATISTICA 7. The total of 400 sampled specimens of different fish species were parasitologically tested. The trematodes from the class Monogenea (Dactylogyrus, Gyrodactylus and Eudiplozoon nipponicum) and Digenea (Posthodiplostomum cuticola) were found on the skin and the gills of the fish. The genus Dactylogyrus was found on 27 specimens, or 6.75%. Intensity of the infection for the genus Dactylogyrus did not show any significant deviations during different seasons. Parasites from the genus Gyrodactylus were found on the skin and the gills of 40 infected specimens, dominantly found on the gills. The species Eudiplozoon nipponicum was found in low prevalence in the total ichthyo sample of 1.75%. The presence of the species Posthodiplostomum cuticola is established in 18 specimens and the prevalence of the infection in total sample was 4.5%.
Varia: On ‘speaker ghosting’ and the ‘sequence of tense and mood’ rule in the bulgarian language
Authors: Kabakchiev Krasimir
Published: November 2021

The analysis of sentences taking part in the semantico-syntactic ‘X said that [content of that]’ schema, in the second part of which verb forms in all nine Bulgarian tenses are used, demonstrates that five of the types of sentences obtained are non-grammatical, and four are grammatical. In the main cases, with the aorist and the imperfect, which are witness-forms, non-grammaticality is due to speaker ghosting, a phenomenon which has been revealed by the author in previous publications. Non-grammaticality with the future in the past and the pluperfect is due to the fact that the verb forms have non-cancelable content, and not because they are witness-forms, as claimed by some authors. The main conclusion of the study, in contrast to previous conceptions in Bulgarian grammars and in Bulgarian linguistics in general, is that the Bulgarian language has a ‘sequence of tense and mood’ rule.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Ambulatory percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has been limited to highly selected patients. The objective of our study was to compare complication and stone-free rates after ambulatory PCNL in standard selection criteria vs. extended criteria patients.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of prospective data on all patients who underwent ambulatory PCNL at one academic center from 2007–2018. Extended criteria patients were defined as one or more of: age >75 years, body mass index (BMI) >30 kg/m2, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) >2, bilateral stones, solitary kidney, transplant kidney, complete staghorn calculi, stone burden >40 mm, multiple tracts, or prior nephrostomy tubes/stents. Primary outcomes were complication rates (Clavien-Dindo classification) and stone-free rates.
Results: We identified 118 patients, of which 92 (78%) met extended criteria. Mean BMI was 31 kg/m2 and 45% were ASA 3 or higher. Mean sum maximum stone diameter was 24 mm. Multiple stones were present in 25%, bilateral stones in 7%, and complete staghorn stones in 4% of patients. There was no difference in complication (12% vs. 18%, p=0.56), emergency department visit (12% vs. 18%, p=0.56), or re-admission (4% vs. 5%, p=1) rates between standard and extended criteria patients respectively. Of the complications, 85% were Clavien-Dindo grade 1. Stone-free rates were not different between standard (84%) and extended (83%) criteria patients (p=1). No extended criteria variables were associated with complications in multivariable analysis.
Conclusions: Complication and stone-free rates were not different between standard and extended selection criteria patients undergoing ambulatory PCNL. This data indicates that many of the preoperative patient and stone factors that have previously been used as exclusion criteria for ambulatory PCNL are not strictly necessary.

Published: November 2021

Cocos nucifera was a coastal plant whose roots were used in pharmacopoeia to treat anemia in Benin. The aqueous extract from its roots stimulated the synthesis of hemoglobin. The aim of this work was to test in vivo the efficacy of the butanolic fraction of the extract in the treatment of anemia. Methods: Wistar rats were anemic with phenylhydrazine for two days. From D2 to D15, some were treated by gavage with the butanolic fraction of the aqueous extract of Cocos nucifera roots at the dose of 40 mg or 60 mg / kg of body weight / day, others were treated with vitafer (an anti-anemic drug) or with distilled water. The rats blood were collected on days D0, D2, D7, D10 and D15 for the complete blood count and the osmotic resistance of the red blood cells. Results: On D2, phenylhydrazine significantly lowered the hemoglobin level and the number of red blood cells, which were respectively corrected on D10 and D15 by the fraction of extract with release of hypochromic macrocytes. However, the effect was slower than that of the crude extract, was not specific to erythropoiesis because it also stimulated thrombopoiesis and was not dose-dependent. Conclusion: The butanolic fraction of the aqueous extract of Cocos nucifera roots corrected anemia by stimulation of hematopoiesis. The observed biological activity would probably be linked to anthocyanins which are mainly isolated by butanol. These results contribute to a better knowledge of bioactive compounds of our antianemic plants.
The Bigger the Storm, the Bigger the Strength: Did Social and Emotional Skills (SES) Make a Difference on a COVID-19 Lockdown Scenario Among Children and Young People?
Authors: Lemos Gina C. , Saraiva Ana Cristina
Published: November 2021

Little is known about the emotional experience of children and young people during lockdown, their coping strategies on COVID-19 pandemic context and their influence on the emotional state when dealing with the challenges associated with lockdown. In this study, 1031 children and young people (865 aged 8-15 years old and 166 aged 16-25 years old) answered an online self-report survey, specifically designed to assess the perceived potential contribution of SES learned/developed in the Gulbenkian Academies for Knowledge—a national initiative—in coping with the consequences of the context of the COVID-19 pandemic during the Portugal first lockdown. There are three main findings. First, the prevalent emotional pattern was predominantly negative (53.7%) for the younger participants (most frequent emotions: boredom 66.9%; worry 47.8%) and predominantly positive (52.0%) for the older participants (most frequent emotions: boredom 70.1% and tranquillity 52.6%). Second, school activities (25.2%, 8-15 subsample; 32.7%, 16-25 subsample) and self-knowledge and self-regulation activities/strategies (24.8%, 8-15 subsample; 20.0%, 16-25 subsample) were the most frequently reported by participants from both subsamples and that this has significantly interfered with their emotional state: among 8-15 subsample, they reported feeling more excited, more calm, more optimistic and more hopeful; among 16-25 subsample, they reported feeling more cheered up, more optimistic, more quiet and more hopeful. Culinary and horticultural activities predict about 4% the possibility of feeling hope, sadness, optimism, irritation, and worry (8-15 years old) and school activities contribute about 17% to the explanation of the emotional states of sadness and optimism (16-25 years old). Third, both the younger and the older participants showed a medium-superior level of socio-emotional skills and those SES predict about 20% the possibility of feeling optimistic, irritation, sad, hopeful, and bored (8-15 years old) and about 12% the possibility of feeling sadness (16-25 years old). The potential of social and emotional skills in exceptional circumstances and vulnerabilities are discussed.

Badania zostały wykonane na podstawie opisów i materiałów dostępnych online na stronach deweloperów oraz pracowni architektonicznych, a także w wybranych przypadkach in situ. Budynki z mikromieszkaniami we Wrocławiu to obiekty różnorodne funkcjonalnie, w większości nowe, ale zdarzają się również adaptacje istniejących budynków. Można zauważyć zgrupowanie obiektów w rejonie śródmieścia oraz pojedyn-cze zlokalizowane w rejonach parków przemysłowych i koncentracji funkcji biurowych. Wrocławskie budynki z mikromieszkaniami są uzupełniane o funkcje dodatkowe, takie jak pralnie z suszarniami, recepcje, restauracje, kawiarnie oraz inne lokale usługowe. Wrocławskie mikro-mieszkania są kierowane głównie do studentów i na wynajem krótkoterminowy. Obiekty wpisują się w ogólnoświatowe tendencje tworzenia mikromieszkań z uwzględnieniem lokalnych uwarunkowań oraz dostosowaniem ich do potrzeb wrocławskiego użytkownika.
Digital transition and public administration in Italy: the experience of the Italian National Social Security Institution − INPS
Authors: Bonavolontà Valeria , D’Angelo Massimiliano
Published: November 2021

The innovation and modernization processes of national public administrations feature prominently in the process of digital transition that the whole Europe is going through. In Italy, the National Institute of Social Security (Istituto Nazionale della Previdenza Sociale, INPS) has historically always been at the forefront in terms of digital skills and the use of Information Technology for the provision of social security services, constituting a model of excellence in the landscape of public administrations both in Italy and Europe.
INPS is currently facing a strategic challenge: that of constituting the driving force for the digital transition of the Italian public sector. To meet this challenge, the Italian Social Security Institute has equipped itself with an ICT Plan that represents a marked discontinuity with respect to past plans and which deserves, as a result of its innovative character, to be analyzed in detail.
In particular, the ICT Strategic Plan of INPS for the three-year period of 2020−2022 aims to introduce a paradigm shift towards the digitization of the public services that the Social Security Institute offers to the whole country, planning a radical technological, organizational and cultural innovation, an enabling prerequisite for creating a new model service for citizens, businesses and other public administrations.

Im Bereich schulischer und außerschulischer poli- tischer Bildung wird Handeln jedoch immer wieder auch skeptisch betrachtet. Diesem Skeptizismus wird in dem Beitrag ein politikdidaktisches Konzept entgegengesetzt, das den Zusammenhang herzustellen als Ziel begreift: Im Kontext von formellen, non-forma- len sowie informellen politischen Lern- und Bildungsangeboten werden pädagogisch und didaktisch begleitet politische Lern- und Bildungsprozesse sowie damit verbunden poli- tisches Handeln ermöglicht und reflektiert. Da Lernen und Handeln nicht im luftleeren Raum, sondern im Bildungsfeld und politischen Feld stattfinden und in beiden (Hand- lungs-)Feldern auch gesellschaftspolitische Dimensionen und Zielsetzungen einge- schrieben sind, werden diese Kontexte mit Verweis zu den Arbeiten Pierre Bourdieus und aktuellen gesellschaftspolitischen Zeitdiagnosen beleuchtet. Am Ende steht ein politik- didaktisches und pädagogisches Konzept zur Verbindung von Handeln und Lernen, das institutionelle, gesellschaftliche und politische Rahmenbedingungen reflektiert und sich selbst sowie die subjektbezogenen Lern- und Bildungsprozesse vor diesem Hintergrund permanent kritisch befragt.
Rehabilitationsrecht
Authors: von Boetticher Arne , Kuhn-Zuber Gabriele
Published: November 2021

In Deutschland leben laut Statistischem Bundesamt rund 10 Mio. Menschen mit einer Behinderung. Diese Menschen haben Anspruch auf Leistungen zur Rehabilitation und Teilhabe, um selbstbestimmt, diskriminierungsfrei und gleichberechtigt am Leben der Gesellschaft teilhaben zu können. Die Regelungen für diese Leistungen finden sich zwar zusammengefasst im Wesentlichen im SGB IX, allerdings hat jeder der sieben Rehabilitationsträger sein eigenes Leistungsrecht. Das macht das Rehabilitationsrecht unübersichtlich; für Nichtfachleute ist es in der Regel praktisch nicht zu überschauen. Ziel des Lehrbuches ist es, anhand einer nachvollziehbaren und klaren Struktur Licht ins Dickicht des Rehabilitationsrechts zu legen. Es richtet sich an Studierende sozialer Berufe, ist aber ebenso für Praktikerinnen und Praktiker, die mit Menschen mit Behinderungen in verschiedener Weise arbeiten, zu empfehlen. Erläutert werden nicht nur allgemeingültige Begriffe, Beteiligungsrechte und das Verfahren im Teilhabrecht, sondern ebenso die einzelnen Rehabilitationsleistungen in ihren verschiedenen Ausprägungen und im Zusammenhang mit den jeweilig zuständigen Rehabilitationsträgern. Ausführlich dargestellt wird das Recht der Eingliederungshilfe, ebenso die grundlegenden Regelungen im Schwerbehindertenrecht, einschließlich des Werkstättenrechts. Den Abschluss bildet ein kurzes Kapitel über das Verwaltungsverfahren und den möglichen Rechtsschutz. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf den Bedürfnissen der Praxis. Die Darstellung der rechtlichen Zusammenhänge, die im Lichte der UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention erfolgt, wird jeweils ergänzt durch erklärende Beispiele, Fälle aus der Praxis, Schaubilder und Hinweise.

Die 2. Auflage berücksichtigt bereits vollumfänglich das neue Teilhabestärkungsgesetz, (in Grundzügen) das neue SGB XIV und das Kinder- und Jugendhilfestärkungsgesetz (KJSG).
TMPRSS2 As an Influential Human Gene for COVID-19
Authors: Abdollahi Sepideh , Izadi Pantea
Published: November 2021

: In December 2019, the new virus, COVID-19, emerged and led to a pandemic respiratory acute disease. Almost all countries have experienced different rates of morbidity and mortality. These differences can be attributed to factors such as a diagnostic test capacity for COVID-19 and the health system efficiency. Besides the differences between countries related to the COVID-19 management, different patients represent a diverse range of clinical symptoms, from outpatient to patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to the severity of symptoms. To gain deeper insights into such disparities in the severity of COVID-19 clinical presentations, epidemiological studies have reported risk factors such as old age, male sex, underlying chronic diseases such as diabetes, inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases, which have a bearing on susceptibility to COVID-19. In addition to these risk factors, the molecular mechanism involved in the virus entry process has been under investigation. Apart from a well-known protein called ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2), which plays the receptor role for COVID-19, another essential protein in this pathway is TMPRSS2 (transmembrane protease, serine 2). This protease has a crucial role in effective membrane integration between the virus and the target cell. This process can affect the severity of the infection and the mortality rate of the disease. Thus, it seems that understanding the role of TMPRSS2 in COVID-19 infection can help better management by designing TMPRSS2 inhibitors drugs. Given the variants of the TMPRSS2 gene, which are associated with the severity of symptoms, people exposed to severe forms of this disease can be identified before the deterioration of the disease to adopt appropriate therapeutic approaches. Therefore, this study focused on the different levels of the TMPRSS2 interactions with COVID-19 virus and disease severity.
Solitary and joint online pornography use during the first COVID-19 lockdown in Portugal: Intrapersonal and interpersonal correlates
Authors: Rodrigues David L.
Published: November 2021

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic forced several people into social isolation and research has shown a paradoxical effect on people’s sexual functioning. Some people experienced decreases in sexual desire and sexual satisfaction, whereas others experienced heightened sexual desire and made new additions to their sexual repertoire, including more online pornography use, during the lockdown. Yet, studies failed to examine its interpersonal and intrapersonal correlates, distinguish between solitary and joint use, or explore differences between partnered and single people. We examined if changes in solitary or joint online pornography use since the lockdown were associated with sexual functioning, sexual satisfaction, perceived health, and sleep quality. We conducted an online cross-sectional study with convenience sampling in Portugal (N = 303 participants; 56.3% men; Mage = 31.32, SD = 10.55; 71.0% in a relationship) during May and July 2020. Partnered participants who reported increases in solitary online pornography use also reported decreases in their sex life quality. For partnered and single participants, increases in joint online pornography use were associated with increases in sex life quality. Single participants who reported increases in solitary online pornography use also perceived better health and sleep quality, and those who reported increases in joint online pornography use also reported more intimacy with casual partner(s) and better sleep quality. These findings suggest that online pornography might have beens used as a sexual pleasure tool to connect with a stable or casual partner(s) in a time when social interactions were restricted.

Context.—

The gold standard test to identify the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 patients is the real-time reverse transcription–quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), but inconclusive data and false-positive diagnosis remain the major problem of this approach.

Objective.—

To compare the fitness of 2 primer sets to the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid phosphoprotein gene (NP) in the molecular diagnosis of COVID-19, we verified the inconclusive data and confidence of high cycle threshold (Ct) values in SARS-CoV-2 detection.

Design.—

The 970 patient samples were tested by using United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention protocol. We compared the fitness of 2 primer sets to 2 different regions of the NP gene. In addition, we checked the consistency of positive samples with high Ct values by retesting extracted SARS-CoV-2 RNA or by second testing of patients.

Results.—

N1 and N2 displayed similar fitness during testing, with no differences between Ct values. Then, we verified security range Ct values related to positive diagnostics, with Ct values above 34 failing in 21 of 32 cases (65.6%) after retesting of samples. The patient samples with Ct values above 34.89 that were doubly positive revealed a low sensitivity (52.4%) and specificity (63.6%) of the test in samples with Ct values above 34.

Conclusions.—

It is safe to use 1 primer set for the NP gene to identify SARS-CoV-2 in samples. However, samples with high Ct values may be considered inconclusive and retested to avoid false-positive diagnosis.

La laguna de Herramélluri. Un humedal renacido
Authors: López-Davalillo Larrea Julio
Published: November 2021

La Rioja Alta contó con una serie de pequeños humedales, algunos de los cuales fueron desecados en los años cincuenta para dedicarlos a aprovechamientos agrarios, señaladamente de cereal. Tal fue el caso de la laguna de la Madrileña (en la localidad de san Asensio), y el otro el denominado, quizá pomposamente, «lago de Herramélluri», aunque por sus dimensiones no entra en la categoría de lo que hidrográficamente es un lago. La de Herramélluri fue recuperada en 2006.
