Authors: De Caritat Jean-Antoine-Nicolas , Menéndez Menéndez, Trad. Agustín José
Published: January 2024

Cuando comparamos la Revolución de Inglaterra de 1688 con la Revolución Francesa de 1792, encontramos semejanzas en lo que concierne a las causas de ambas, y a los principios que las dirigían. Tales semejanzas, pese a la diferencia de tiempos, de circunstancias y de luces, muestran que la causa del pueblo francés es la de la nación inglesa, y también la de todos los pueblos libres o que han concebido la esperanza de llegar a serlo.
Design and implementation of a bioclimatic housing prototype for the Bolivian highlands
Authors: Lamas Edwin
Published: January 2024

The Mechanical - Electromechanical Engineering research institute, made up of a multidisciplinary team, designs and implements a bioclimatic housing prototype for the Bolivian highlands, located near the Andes Mountains at an altitude of 3,000 to 4,000 meters above sea level. This project was developed and implemented with financing from the Swiss Cooperation for Bolivia, within the Climate Change Adaptation projects.

The design process includes: the sociocultural study of the inhabitants of the region, where direct information is collected from the peasants on the conception of housing in their culture and ancestral construction characteristics of their houses. Subsequently, the climate of the region (temperatures, solar radiation, winds and relative humidity) is characterized with the help of a meteorological station, which provided historical records of 5 years. Those data were sufficient to be able to carry out a reliable characterization, with which the Typical Meteorological Year is determined.  Likewise, local construction materials that may be useful in the design are studied, analyzing their thermal and mechanical properties in the laboratory.

Finally, with all the information described, an architectural design is carried out taking into account bioclimatic aspects, ways of harnessing solar energy, distribution of the room and a viable construction cost for the economic reality of the region. The developed architectural model is optimized in an energy simulation program (Siter Vs. 1.2), achieving energy savings of 65%. The software used is owned property of the research institute

The house has been monitored with temperature sensors for about a year and six months, to date it shows good results, where the correct functioning of the elements and constructive forms is evidenced, reflecting a temperature inside the house of around 10 °C above room temperature 24 hours a day.

Experiencias de innovación en política social: la Ciudad de México en el contexto del cambio político (2018-2020)
Authors: Damián González Araceli , Jiménez Melgarejo Guillermo
Published: January 2024

La Ciudad de México ha vivido, entre 2018 y 2020, un dinámico proceso de reestructuración de su política social, impulsado, al menos, por tres fuerzas, a saber, el cambio de gobierno, la nueva pauta de colaboración entre la administración estatal y la federal y la entrada en vigor en 2017 de la Constitución Política de la Ciudad de México. En ese contexto, el nuevo Gobierno de la Ciudad de México recuperó la vocación universalista de las políticas sociales, logró ampliar la cobertura de los programas y fortaleció el apego de las intervenciones al enfoque de derechos. Las transferencias monetarias directas continuaron siendo la forma privilegiada de intervención pública en materia social. Hay que destacar, además, que la nueva administración ha priorizado la atención a la infancia, como grupo social particularmente vulnerable, tal y como muestran los datos de pobreza presentados por el Consejo de Evaluación de la Ciudad de México. Además de lo anterior, son destacables ciertas mejoras regulatorias e institucionales. En primer lugar, se redujo la histórica dispersión programática de la política social capitalina, mejorando la eficiencia del ejercicio de los recursos públicos y reduciendo el riesgo de duplicidad. En segundo término, ha entrado en funcionamiento la mayor parte del andamiaje constitucional en materia de planeación y evaluación del bienestar con el inicio de actividades del Instituto de Planeación Democrática y Prospectiva y del Consejo de Evaluación de la Ciudad de México, Organismo Autónomo Constitucional. En tercer lugar, se ha logrado fortalecer la transparencia de algunos instrumentos de la política social que anteriormente permanecían en la opacidad. Sin embargo, persisten importantes retos y tareas pendientes, como se ha referido. Entre otros, destacamos la necesidad de avanzar en la garantía de un ingreso básico universal, en la construcción del sistema público de cuidados, en la ampliación de la cobertura de algunos programas seleccionados y, por último, en el mejoramiento de los resultados de las políticas públicas desarrolladas desde las alcaldías.
Inseguridad alimentaria en municipios de Sonora. Un análisis geoespacial para su intervención
Authors: De la Torre Valdez Hugo César , López Salazar Ricardo
Published: January 2024

La inseguridad alimentaria es un fenómeno complejo relacionado a hogares con limitaciones económicas que impide desarrollar una alimentación con los requerimientos nutrimentales suficientes para satisfacer una calidad de vida saludable. En ese sentido el fenómeno presenta una causa estructural asociada a elementos no sólo económicos, sino de mala planeación de políticas públicas, contextos demográficos, aspectos socioculturales y ambientales; lo que ha incrementado los niveles de vulnerabilidad en los municipios. Por ello el objetivo del presente trabajo fue analizar los niveles de inseguridad alimentaria a nivel municipal en el estado de Sonora con el propósito de establecer un rango de prioridad de la intervención gubernamental. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, el cual considera atributos municipales y su distribución espacial como elementos de análisis para la determinación de zonas prioritarias de intervención a partir de información transversal de dos periodos y su nivel de correspondencia. De esta manera se utilizaron datos geoespaciales en función de distintas escalas de análisis concernientes a carencia alimentaria, marginación, producto interno bruto (PIB) per cápita e inseguridad alimentaria. Los resultados indican cuatro municipios prioritarios con necesidad de intervención muy alta ante un contexto alimentario completo desfavorable, seguido de 11 municipios con necesidad de intervención alta debido a oscilaciones en algunos de sus indicadores. La identificación de zonas prioritarias de intervención a escala municipal responde a la necesidad de diseñar instrumentos de acción en materia de política alimentaria apoyados de un sustento metodológico que responda a los criterios de la Seguridad Alimentaria, es por ello que el presente capítulo consta de un importante apartado de revisión teórico contextual, posteriormente se explica la operacionalización de los principales indicadores a partir de los distintos criterios que conforman el instrumento y que de manera consecutiva se muestran cada uno de los resultados a partir de su distribución geoespacial y la identificación de las zonas prioritarias de intervención.

Las ciudades generan 80% de la riqueza mundial (Banco Mundial, 2019), por ello no extraña que para el tercer lustro del presente siglo 54% de la población mundial habite en el medio urbano (ONU, 2014). En este sentido, las ciudades constituyen el motor del desarrollo económico, en ellas se concentra buena parte de actividad productiva lo que suscita la aglomeración de las personas en la búsqueda de mejores condiciones de bienestar. Este trabajo tiene como propósito conocer los niveles de desarrollo y el bienestar de la población en los municipios urbanos localizados en la región Noreste de México. Para identificar a los municipios urbanos en la región se toma en cuenta la clasificación del Sistema Urbano Nacional (Conapo, 2018), luego se estima un índice de desarrollo y se recurre a las líneas de bienestar calculadas por el Consejo Nacional de Evaluación de la Política de Desarrollo Social (Coneval, 2016). Los resultados muestran que de los 16 municipios urbanos que hay en la región, cuatro se clasifican en el estrato de desarrollo muy alto y otros cuatro en el estrato alto, seis municipios se ubican en el estrato de desarrollo medio y sólo dos destacan con un desarrollo muy bajo; sin embargo, en ocho de estos municipios urbanos había una proporción de población mayor a 50% con un ingreso que no le permite alcanzar su bienestar económico y que en promedio tienen 1.5 carencias.

Annually, traumatic brain injury keeps afflicting millions of individuals around the world. Traumatic brain injury may manifest in various forms from minor changes in consciousness to persistent comatoseness and death. The entirety of the brain is impacted by a diffused type of injury and edema in the most severe form of traumatic brain injury. Depending on the degree of the injury, there are many different treatment options, ranging from regular cognitive therapy sessions to invasive surgical procedures like bilateral decompressive craniectomies. Clinical practice guidelines have been developed to standardize assessment, discharge education, and referral of traumatic brain injury patients in order to achieve best practice management. Guidelines are described as propositions derived from research and used to direct clinicians and patients in making decisions about the highest degree of care and best practices in clinical practice. In order to minimise the risk of secondary brain injury and maximise the prognosis, early detection and therapy of severe traumatic brain injury are essential. The methodical evaluation and management of life-threatening situations that result from this is followed by invasive steps to control the airway, respiratory physiology, and hemodynamics, all with the main objective of maintaining a sufficient level of cerebral perfusion. Preventing secondary injury is the fundamental goal of early therapy of severe traumatic brain injury, specifically by preventing hypotension and hypoxia. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about the emergency management of traumatic brain injury current guideline and new developments

Authors: Altowairqi Meshal Yahya , Mofareh Alsubaie Mohammad , Muidh Almalki Oqab
Published: January 2024

Background: The Monteggia fracture classically involves a proximal third ulna fracture that is accompanied by radial head subluxation or dislocation. Monteggia fractures are highly uncommon, as they account for just 1% of pediatric forearm fractures. However, Monteggia fractures continue to be a concern for pediatric orthopedic surgeons due to the difficulties in diagnosing and treating missing radial head dislocations and late instability. Case: We report the case of a 14-year-old boy who suffered from a neglected Monteggia fracture that was missed for five long years. The patient reported to the clinic with limited range of motion and elbow pain during activities. No neurological or other significant complications were observed. X-ray and Computed Tomography (CT) scan findings confirmed the diagnosis of a neglected Monteggia fracture. The patient was managed through rehabilitation involving physiotherapy sessions since the parents refused surgical intervention. Conclusion: Our case is unique to the present since it is the only case, to the best of our knowledge, with such an increased time duration of neglected Monteggia fracture, and additionally, it was managed with rehabilitation only. However, further research is necessary to study more alternative management options for the management of neglected Monteggia fractures.

Millions of surgical procedures are performed globally each year. High-risk surgical procedures have varying but generally, high mortality and morbidity rates, making them a global challenge. In order to lower the risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality, perioperative haemodynamic optimization strategies have been designed. They are also referred to as goal-directed therapy. These guidelines for managing high-risk surgical patients propose strict adherence to values of mean arterial pressure not to fall below 65 mmHg during surgery, as mean arterial pressure significantly influences organ perfusion. It is recommended to utilize dynamic indicators to guide fluid administration in a substantial portion of non-cardiac surgery cases. However, it is advised to implement a checklist of validity criteria prior to administering volume expansion, acknowledging the recognized limitations of these indices. To tailor fluid therapy appropriately for individual patients and prevent fluid overload, it is commonly recommended to employ minimally invasive or non-invasive monitoring of stroke volume/cardiac output, particularly for patients undergoing moderate- to high-risk surgeries. Furthermore, these strategies suggest combining fluid administration with vasoconstrictors to sustain optimal blood flow and maintain perfusion pressure above hazardous thresholds. Incorporating personalized hemodynamic optimization approaches to reduce postoperative complications, shorten hospital stays, and ultimately prevent mortality in high-risk surgical patients has become a crucial aspect of standard surgical care. This review aims to assess strategies for optimizing perioperative hemodynamics in high-risk surgical patients.

Published: January 2024

Hypertension is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. Additionally, hypertension is associated with fatal complications and premature mortality. The primary prevention of hypertension has emerged as an essential global public health endeavour as the prevalence of hypertension continues to rise. It is frequently advised to engage in physical activity as a significant lifestyle change that may help prevent hypertension. Recent epidemiologic studies have shown a consistent, temporal, and dose-dependent link between exercise and the emergence of hypertension. Given that the positive benefits of exercise on blood pressure lowering have been thoroughly described in recent years, experimental data from interventional research has further proven a link between physical activity and hypertension. Studies presented in the literature strongly define the beneficial effects of exercise on the management and prevention of hypertension. Although the protective advantages of physical activity in high-risk individuals, the variables that may moderate the relationship between physical activity and hypertension, and the ideal prescription for hypertension prevention remain unanswered despite the overwhelming evidence available supporting a role for physical activity in the prevention of hypertension, necessitating the demand for further research, the purpose of this research is to review the available information about the beneficial effects of exercise on hypertensive patients.

Periodontal disease, a prevalent chronic inflammatory condition impacting the structures supporting teeth, remains a leading cause of adult tooth loss. This ailment involves inflammatory processes around teeth, resulting in the degradation of supporting tissues, including bone and connective tissues. The formation of pockets between teeth and gums becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, exacerbating the infection. Treatment strategies encompass a blend of professional dental care, self-care routines, and, when necessary, surgical interventions. The primary objectives are infection control, inflammation reduction, and prevention of further damage to toothsupporting structures. The emergence of microbial resistance and challenges like poor tissue penetration with conventional antibiotic use prompted the development of local delivery drug systems for periodontitis. Local drug delivery systems specifically target bacteria in the inflamed periodontal pocket, releasing active drugs in a controlled manner. This approach aims to manage periodontitis effectively while minimizing systemic dissemination of drugs. This review article aims to offer a comprehensive overview, exploring the current state, clinical applications, challenges, and potential advancements in local drug delivery and controlled release systems for treating periodontal diseases.

Effective postoperative pain control is crucial. Various techniques are used for this purpose, including continuous nerve blocks, liposomal local anesthetics, and adjuvants added to local anesthetics. While continuous blocks offer advantages, they have challenges and failure rates. Liposomal local anesthetics also have limitations. Adjuvants, categorized as "old" and "new," can extend regional block duration. Epinephrine primarily prolongs local anesthetic effects through localized vasoconstriction. Sodium bicarbonate alkalization benefits specific peripheral nerve blocks but has varying outcomes. Alpha2 adrenoreceptor agonists like clonidine and dexmedetomidine can extend analgesia but may lead to side effects through systemic absorption. Opioid agonists such as buprenorphine and tramadol yield variable results depending on the surgical type, with potential benefits through intravenous or intramuscular administration. The review further emphasizes the significance of adjuvants like corticosteroids and NMDA (N-Methyl-D-Aspartate) receptor antagonist magnesium sulfate in consistently prolonging analgesia when combined with local anesthetics. The comprehensive analysis of peripheral nerve block adjuvants provides valuable insights for healthcare practitioners to navigate this dynamic field and optimize pain management strategies. It underscores the evolving landscape and the necessity of considering patient-specific factors, surgical context, and available evidence in the selection of adjuvants. The call for further research highlights the ongoing efforts to refine the use of adjuvants for safe and effective postoperative pain management.

Wilsons disease is a disorder that occurs when there are mutations, in the ATP7B gene. This leads to problems with copper transport and metabolism in the body. In this review we explore the causes, effects, symptoms and management of Wilsons disease. We delve into the factors that contribute to the condition and how it affects the livers’ ability to handle copper. A key diagnostic feature is the presence of "sunset glow" hepatocytes indicating a buildup of copper. The disease manifests with symptoms affecting organs such as the liver nervous system, mind, blood, kidneys and eyes. Due to this range of symptoms an accurate diagnosis requires an approach. Prognosis and tailored treatment strategies can be aided by staging using the Leipzig scoring system. We discuss complications associated with Wilsons disease. Highlight its impact on organs underscoring why timely diagnosis is crucial. The management section outlines approaches including medication to remove copper from the body or regulate zinc levels as well as dietary modifications to control copper absorption. Regular monitoring through liver function tests, copper measurements and neurological assessments is essential for managing this condition. Genetic counseling plays a role in helping individuals make decisions about their health when it comes to Wilsons disease. In cases where other treatments have failed or are inadequate, for controlling symptoms or preventing organ damage liver transplantation may be considered as a resort option. Finally, we conclude by highlighting how ongoing research continues to improve our understanding of Wilsons disease and refine methods and treatment strategies.

Traditional autopsies have historically been crucial in determining the cause of death and ensuring the quality of care. However, in this modern technological age, many digital advances in forensic medicine were introduced, aided in the practice, and improved outcomes. The utilization of advanced imaging modalities in forensic examination in the form of a virtual autopsy is one of the advances. This article discusses the virtual autopsy's ethical aspects, strengths, limitations, and implementation, particularly focusing on the extent of its utilization in the Middle East. When discussing the ethical aspect, this review found that virtual autopsy outshines traditional methods by preserving the integrity of the deceased bodies and respecting cultural and religious beliefs through noninvasive imaging. It also discusses the strengths of this approach, such as its capability to identify unknown bodies, detect foreign objects, and examine body parts that are not usually examined in traditional autopsy. Moreover, it addresses limitations like difficulty in differentiating between antemortem and postmortem changes and the inability to obtain data gained by analyzing body samples. Additionally, it explores virtual autopsy applications in mass casualties, its role during pandemics like the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, and its potential to gradually replace traditional autopsy. Despite its advancements, traditional autopsy remains the gold standard in many cases. Nonetheless, it is a favorable option in the Middle East due to its adherence to the ethical principles in these countries, necessitating further implementation and awareness to maximize its potential and application in forensic medicine
Depiction of Women as Unfair Creatures in John Donne’s “Go and Catch a Falling Star”: Utilizing Norman Fairclough’s Model as a Research Tool in the Critical Discourse Analysis
Authors: Malik Umer Ajmal  , Tayyaba Zainab
Published: January 2024

This research paper aims to study Norman Fairclough's three-dimensional model for a critical discourse analysis of John Donne's poem "Go and Catch a Falling Star." Rooted in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and building upon Fairclough's critique of Critical Linguistics, the study explores the hidden ideologies and societal attitudes embedded in the text. The poem, published in 1633, presents a satirical examination of women's perceived infidelity, and Fairclough's model serves as a tool to unravel the complexities of its linguistic features, discursive practices, and socio-cultural implications. The analysis reveals anti-feministic undertones within the broader context, where societal norms and power dynamics played a crucial role in shaping discourse. By examining the poem through the three dimensions of Fairclough's model—text, discursive practice, and sociocultural practice—the research contributes to a deep understanding of how language choices perpetuate certain perceptions of women and contribute to broader societal narratives during this historical period.

Eredmények: Angliában teljes populációra vetítve a gyermekkardiológus konzultánsok száma szignifikánsan alacsonyabb, mint az itthon állami rendszerben (is) dolgozók száma (5.2 versus 2.0 gyermekkardiológus/1 millió fő). A gyermekkardiológiai feladatok jelentős részét (echocardiographia, szűrővizsgálatok vitium, mellkasi fájdaom, hypertonia vonatkozásában) speciális képzést kapott gyermekgyógyászok (paediatrician with expertise in cardiology – PEC), illetve neonatológusok látják el Angliában, míg itthon a területileg illetékes gyermekkardiológiai gondozók. Hazánkban centralizáltabb területi megoszlás működik. Megbeszélés: Az angliai konzultációs rendszer elemeinek esetleges bevezetése a kardiológiai képzés súlyának fokozásához vezet a gyermekgyógyászati képzésben. PEC konzultánsok megjelenése a gyermekkardiológiai ellátásban fennálló területi egyenetlenséget csökkentheti, míg az NPE (neonatologist performed echocardiography) a korai vitium diagnosztikát javíthatja.
A kockázatmegosztási megállapodások adminisztrációs terhei Magyarországon : Irány az automatizáció?

Az adminisztratív teher nagysága nem elsődleges szempont, mégis megkerülhetetlen tényező a különféle kockázatmegosztási konstrukciók kialakításakor. Elő fordulhat, hogy a várható adminisztratív teher fontos támogatáspolitikai célokat segítő technikák bevezetését jelentősen korlátozza. A dilemma feloldását segítheti a szerződések felállításához és monitorozásához szükséges erőforrások átgondolt tervezése, és ezek minél kevesebb erőforrásból történő kialakítása. Ennek fontos eleme a strukturált és automatizált adatfeldolgozás, és az eredmények szakszerű, rendszeres és gyors értelmezése. Ilyen automatizált munkával jelentős erőforrások szabadíthatók fel, miközben az emberi tényező okozta hibák előfordulása is csökkenthető. Ebben a véleménycikkben az automatizáció peremfeltételeit, illetve használatának előnyeit és hátrányait gyűjtöttük össze.

Ground beef is a food rich in amino acids and other essential nutrients for human metabolism, with a high rate of acceptance and consumption in various types of food preparations. However, depending on the processing conditions and chemical composition, such food becomes a favorable environment for the proliferation of microorganisms, being a product that needs attention, mainly in relation to microbial growth and fraudulent actions. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the quality of fresh ground beef marketed in the municipality of Jaru/RO. The experiment was carried out from September to October 2022. The samples were acquired in six different commercial establishments and the physical-chemical evaluations were carried out on the same day. Through this study, it was possible to observe that all samples showed signs of poorly preserved meat with a high degree of oxidation. Therefore, complementary research must be carried out within the municipality of Jaru-RO in order to ascertain the microbiological conservation status of the meat sold in the municipality.

Prompted by the contribution to improving Science education in the Baixada Maranhense region, we have created an innovative tool titled: LabProf Box. The LabProf Box has been contributing to Science education and enhancing student learning. Our educational product represents a significant advancement in education by incorporating innovative pedagogical practices. It promotes effective understanding of scientific concepts by providing practical resources and experiments that go beyond traditional teaching methods. These approaches capture students' attention and make them active participants in the learning process. They also foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills, essential for academic and professional growth. Applied in the Baixada Maranhense, a region often challenged by educational disparities, these disparities have been improved through the introduction of this educational resource. In this work, we present the application of our educational product, the LabProf Box, in the Baixada Maranhense region, which has heightened students' interest, making the teaching of Science more accessible and engaging.
The contribution of the Accessibility Program: include for the insertion of people with disabilities in higher education

Published: January 2024

This article aims to highlight the contribution of the Higher Education Accessibility Program – Include Program, which is conceived as an expression of accessibility policies for people with disabilities in the academic environment. The methodology was carried out through documentary research – analysis of notices and bibliography – on the portal of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), covering the period from 2001 to 2022. It was understood from the documentary analysis that two actions stand out and strengthen the insertion of these people: architectural adaptation and implementation and/or strengthening of accessibility centers. From the bibliographical research, it was learned that inclusion actions are strengthened in the academic environment with the significant performance of Accessibility Centers, which mediate the relationship between academics with disabilities and the scientific community. This mediation takes place through guidance regarding the need to change traditional methodology, issues of pedagogical accessibility, different methodologies, among others. Therefore, it is urgent that the entire academic community becomes aware of its inclusive role in Society.
