Desmemoria y posverdad en Persianas metálicas bajan de golpe, de Marta Sanz
Authors: Martín Pérez Ángela
Published: December 2024

La última novela de Marta Sanz, Persianas metálicas bajan de golpe (2023), utiliza el subgénero de la distopía para explorar las dinámicas de control tecnológico en un futuro no tan lejano. Este ensayo se centra en dos aspectos fundamentales de la obra: la representación de la desmemoria como herramienta de dominación y el lenguaje fragmentado como reflejo de una posverdad que desarticula la cohesión social. Además, se analiza cómo estos elementos dialogan con problemas contemporáneos, como el impacto de la tecnología en las estructuras de poder y las capacidades cognitivas individuales y colectivas. Este enfoque permitirá no solo situar la obra en el marco de la novela política, sino también ofrecer una lectura crítica de su relevancia en los debates actuales sobre control tecnológico y narrativa.
Práctica teatral y desplazamiento ideológico: el Brecht de Juan Carlos Rodríguez
Authors: Garrido Violeta
Published: December 2024

El presente texto se propone explicar la teoría del inconsciente ideológico desarrollada por el profesor de literatura granadino Juan Carlos Rodríguez en su libro Teoría e historia de la producción ideológica (1974) y progresivamente perfilado en investigaciones posteriores que llegan hasta nuestro siglo. Para ello se utilizará, a modo de ilustración, la obra literaria y teórica o reflexiva de Bertolt Brecht que Rodríguez también estudió, dado que el enfoque con que Rodríguez se aproxima al efecto de distanciamiento revela, entre otras cosas, su apoyatura en una concepción forzosamente política (y por tanto históricamente cambiante) de la literatura. El objetivo último del artículo es profundizar en la comprensión y la originalidad del programa de trabajo de este pensador.
Literatura política: los inicios de una genealogía
Authors: Ayete Gil Maria
Published: December 2024

¿De qué hablamos cuando hablamos de literatura política? Este texto pretende, en primer lugar, darle respuesta a la pregunta y lo hace partiendo de la ausencia —o, cuando menos, confusión— de una definición como tal en la historia de la literatura española del siglo XX. Rastreando las apariciones de la noción de política asociada al sustantivo ‘literatura’ o ‘novela’, el trabajo presenta, así pues, una reformulación del sintagma que se fundamenta en la consideración ideológica de todo discurso literario y en la necesidad de manejar una idea de política concreta, alejada de tópicos e instituciones. El segundo objetivo del texto es abrir las puertas a la posibilidad de una genealogía de corte transnacional de la literatura política.
Navegar juntos, llegar a puertos distintos. Imágenes visuales y co-docencia en la formación universitaria.
Authors: Miranda Fernando , Gras Natalia , Pérez Guadalupe , Mignot Yohnattan
Published: December 2024

El artículo da cuenta de una experiencia de trabajo en pedagogías culturales en el marco de la formación superior de docentes universitarios de diversas disciplinas.
Atiende a la idea de co-docencia como posibilidad de colaboración e interacción de saberes y aborda una práctica de creación y resignificación de imágenes y narrativas propias y colectivas.
La metodología pone en valor las experiencias personales, resignificándolas, pues son relatadas a partir de artefactos visuales de distinto carácter, llevando la atención a expectativas, deseos y materiales sensibles como aquello que no necesariamente se registra en el ámbito universitario.
La propuesta apela a una reconstrucción de algunos hitos del viaje docente que ha llevado cada participante y a la producción narrativa de estas trayectorias de vida enfatizando los contextos, orientaciones, sentires y decisiones personales.

Geography and national project: Brazil at the begining of the 21st Century
Authors: Moré Ramos João Victor
Published: December 2024

This article seeks to establish a systematic exercise of the paths and trends worthy of anticipating the countless subsequent cyclical crises in the development of brazilian capitalism, and their possible implications in the different and unequal social formations that cover the world. Far from the juxtaposition between the fundamentally national contradictions and the problems that refer to the development of the productive forces, it is in the technical progress expressed by the unequal relations between center and periphery that the answers to the challenges and contradictions launched in the long march of the (subaltern) peoples are found in overcoming the “way of supremacy” through the ability to take your own destiny into your own hands. Of course, it is naturally about the transition from capitalism (imperialism) to its higher stage (socialism) of humanity still in the process of gestation in this 21st century.
A regional analysis of employment, temporality, and education in times of crisis: economic policy recommendations
Authors: Alonso –Gutiérrez Lilia , Díaz –Pérez Flora María , González- Morales Olga
Published: December 2024

A distinctive feature of the Spanish labor market, compared to other European Union countries, is its high rate of temporary employment, which adds to the persistent issue of unemployment. According to various studies, the consequences of these crises do not affect all groups equally, as they depend on the degree of prior labor stability or instability (Arnal, Finkel, and Parra, 2013; Gálvez and Rodríguez, 2013). This study examines employment differences among Spain’s Autonomous Communities, considering the employed population, temporary employment, and educational level, all from a gender perspective. The aim is to contribute to the understanding of the factors explaining these labor inequalities by sex and across regions, as well as to assess the influence of educational level. Based on data from the Active Population Survey (2002–2022) of the Spanish National Institute of Statistics, this analysis uses statistical indicators to study correlations during two critical periods: the 2008 economic crisis and the Covid-19 crisis. Additionally, the impact of policies implemented during these periods on the studied variables is evaluated. The results show a negative correlation between temporary employment and occupation, as well as between educational level and temporary employment. In contrast, there is a positive correlation between occupation and educational level, suggesting that higher education increases the likelihood of employment. These findings shed light on labor inequalities and enable further analysis of regional and gender dynamics in the Spanish labor market.
Adrianopoli e la morte di Tirant
Authors: Cherchi Paolo
Published: December 2024

Da sempre si è proposto che Joanot Martorell, l’autore di Tirant lo Blanc, abbia scelto la località di Adrianopoli per stabilire una somiglianza con Roger de Flor. Tuttavia si dovrebbe ricordare che il “condottiero” morì per una mano assassina. Ci sono prove storiche che ad Adrianopoli cominciò la caduta dell’impero romano. Quando more ad Adrianapoli, Tirant può dare per raggiunta la restaurazione dell’impero riunificato e pacificato. Egli può morire perché ha realizzato la sua missione eroica. Non raccoglierà i frutti di tutto ciò che meriterebbe, cioè il matrimonio e la corona, ma il successo del ricordo perpetuo o la fama nella memoria dei posteri. Nessun eroe romanzesco ha mai ricoperto un ruolo simile di restauratore di un impero fra i più gloriosi che la storia abbia conosciuto.

Genealogía y educación caballeresca: el salón de linajes de los Pacheco en el castillo de Belmonte
Authors: Chicote Pompanin María Teresa
Published: December 2024

Una de las fortificaciones más conocidas del panorama artístico bajomedieval castellano es el castillo de Belmonte, un complejo edificio construido en el tercer cuarto del siglo XV por Juan Pacheco, marqués de Villena y maestre de la Orden de Santiago. Hasta la fecha, muchos de sus espacios han sido estudiados siguiendo las pautas impuestas por los viajeros y escritores románticos, sin prestar atención a sus similitudes y diferencias con otros edificios contemporáneos. Por ello, este trabajo ahonda en la funcionalidad del edificio y establece una relación directa entre las estancias y el discurso visual de sus elementos decorativos, prestando particular atención a la conocida como “capilla”. Tras un estudio de su peculiar estética arbórea y de su complejo programa decorativo, se propone interpretarla como un “salón de linajes” usado para la educación caballeresca y dinástica no solamente destinada a los miembros de la familia, sino también a los hipotéticos visitantes del castillo belmonteño.

Caracterización y tipología del personaje mágico en los primeros libros del ciclo amadisiano
Authors: Soriano Ruiz Teresa Sarahí
Published: December 2024

En este trabajo se analizan los elementos estructurales de los principales personajes mágicos en los primeros cinco libros del Amadís de Gaula. Con esto se busca hallar las características que los convierten en actuantes móviles o inmóviles en la narración de acuerdo con la teoría de Yuri Lotman. Para ello se parte de la investigación de sus rasgos físicos, su indumentaria y de las cuestiones más llamativas de su personalidad; así como de la observación del entorno en el que suelen aparecer con más frecuencia. Aunque los objetos de estudio serán Arcaláus, Melia y Urganda, el ensayo se centrará sobre todo en esta última al considerar que se trata de un personaje móvil, poco común en los de su tipo.
Kantovo sapere aude. Vrijedi li to i u praksi?
Authors: Mijatović Franjo
Published: December 2024

U radu će biti analizirane tri ključne ideje Kantova spisa Odgovor na pitanje: Što je prosvjetiteljstvo? To su: usudi se misliti, javna i privatna upotreba uma, i na koncu, pitanje u kojoj se mjeri, u pragmatičnom društvu može primijeniti Kantov prosvjetiteljski moto sapere aude. Središnja ideja ovoga rada pripada slobodi mišljenja koja nailazi na zakone, moćne pojedince, utjecajne društvene institucije, te na vlastita ograničenja poput kukavičluka u ozbiljenju prosvjetiteljskog mota usudi se misliti kao sredstva oslobađanja čovjeka od nepunoljetnosti. Isticanjem slobode mišljenja kao momenta racionalnog i kritičkog promatranja svijeta a priori je isključena svaka mogućnost koaliranja društvenog instruiranog mišljenja i pojedinčevog moralnog ponašanja u društvu. S druge strane Kant smatra kako je jedino autonomnom pojedincu sposobnom za moralnost, a ne državi ili drugim društvenim institucijama, dozvoljeno određivati granice svoje i tuđe slobode mišljenja i propisivati zakone prema vlastitoj slobodnoj upotrebi uma. Politička i moralna sloboda kao prostor prosvjetiteljske lozinke usudi se misliti predstavljaju i izvor kritike moralno-pravne slobode mišljenja i njezine (ne)primjenjivosti u praksi.

Sloboda i granice suda ukusa
Authors: Neimarlija Lamija
Published: December 2024

U ovom radu je akcenat na čistom estetskom sudu koji Immanuel Kant naziva sudom ukusa. Cilj rada je sagledati slobodu suda ukusa s obzirom na komunikativnu dimenziju koju mu Kant pripisuje. U prvom dijelu rada je prezentirano Kantovo razumijevanje suda ukusa iz Kritike moći suđenja, tačnije, poglavlja “Analitika lijepog”. U drugom dijelu rada u fokusu je Kantovo razumijevanje slobode suda ukusa. U nastavku rada je obrazložena komunikativna dimenzija suda ukusa tj. učešće u reflektivnom horizontu zajedničkog smisla prosuditelja. Razmatranje suda ukusa u kontekstu transcendentalne društvenosti uvodi nas u posljednje poglavlje u kojem je pokazano da saznanje komunicirano u zajednici, u njegovoj univerzalnoj a ne konkretnoj formi, uslovljava slobodu suda ukusa.
Uvod u Heideggerovo razumijevanje transcendentalne uobrazilje
Authors: Laketa Saša
Published: December 2024

Pokušaj da se transcendentalna uobrazilja iskaže kao kritična tačka Kantove teorije saznanja star je koliko i Kritika čistoga uma. On je implicite prisutan i unutar Kantovog filozofskog sistema – u razlikama i nedoumicama na koje nailazimo prilikom poređenja sadržaja prvog i drugog izdanja Kritike čistoga uma – i u velikom broju naknadnih interpretacija duha i slova Kantove filozofije. Ambivalencije vezane za iskazivanje jasne prirode i uloge transcendentalne uobrazilje u procesu sticanja saznanja i/ili zasnivanju ontologije neodvojive su od pitanja vezanih za prirodu odnosa transcendentalne uobrazilje i transcendentalne apercepcije, ali i sa njima bitno povezanim pitanjima vezanim za prirodu shematskog „suodnosa“ čistih formi čulnosti i čistih formi razuma. U radu ćemo pokušati uputiti na posebnosti Heideggerovog temporalnog pristupa problemu transcendentalne uobrazilje. Naime, postavićemo pitanje jesu li čulnost i razum svojevrsni integralni modusi transcendentalne uobrazilje – specifični načini njenog ispoljavanja – ili je transcendentalna uobrazilja njihov spoljašnji, artificijelni, posrednik? Da li je, onako kako nas na to upućuje Heidegger, transcendentalna uobrazilja zajednički korijen čulnosti i razuma ili taj korijen i dalje ostaje, onako kako to tvrdi Kant – nedokučiv i prikriven?
Kantova kritika Hobbesa: skriveni prigovor sopstvenom vladaru
Authors: Sladojević Maleš Milijana
Published: December 2024

Rad razmatra Kantovo eksplicitno oponiranje Hobbesu izloženo u središnjem dijelu teksta O uobičajenoj izreci: To bi u teoriji moglo biti ispravno, ali ne vrijedi u praksi, iz 1793. godine. Cilj rada je da se analizom sadržaja, kao i specifičnog načina Kantovog obraćanja Hobbesu, pokuša pokazati kako se Kantova kritika Hobbesa paralelno može čitati i kao implicitna kritika apsolutizma njegovog sopstvenog vladara, Fridricha Wilhelma II, te da je to možda i prikriveni motiv Kantovog obraćanja Hobbesu u kontekstu navedenog spisa.
Genealogical legends about Tyuluyen-oyuun of the Bordons Yakuts of the Nyurbinsky district as a historical and ethnographic source
Authors: Vinokurov Aleksandr Danilovich
Published: December 2024

The subject of the research is the study of genealogical legends about Tyuluyen-oyuun as a historical and ethnographic source about the Bordons Yakuts. The purpose of the research is a comprehensive study of genealogical traditions as a historical and ethnographic source by analyzing and verifying historical and ethnographic information with archival documents. To achieve the goal, the following tasks are set: 1) to trace the historiographical experience of accumulation and study of Yakut historical traditions; 2) to reveal the reliability of historical and ethnographic information of traditions by checking with archival documents; 3) consider the specifics of compiling, storing, and transmitting written versions of pedigrees. The folklore material collected by N.T. Stepanov occupies a central place in the research. The source base of the study is represented by published (collections of archival documents on the early history of Yakutia) and unpublished documents (revision tales, 1917 census materials, separate statements, etc.). The chronological scope of the study is limited to the period from 1632 to 1768. The research methods are based on general scientific (dialectics, comparison, system-structural) and historical methods (historicism, historical-genetic, source analysis). The novelty of the research lies in the fact that, based on the involvement of a wide range of sources and folklore materials, an attempt has been made to historically and ethnographically study Yakut genealogies using the example of the Bordons. Based on the results of the work, it was concluded that further research is necessary due to the presence of a large number of unpublished documents. The research materials can be used in the process of teaching historical subjects, developing textbooks, conducting individual and generalizing research on the history of Yakutia.
Comparison of Physical Fitness and Mental Health among Transgenders and Cisgenders: A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Sweety LM , Johal E Vinvia , Jebamalar J
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Physical fitness is a state of maintaining good health through a proper diet and regular exercise. Due to modern evolution and advancements in telecommunications, there has been a decline in physical activity and a significant inclination towards a sedentary lifestyle. Consequently, the prevalence of Non Communicable Diseases (NCD) such as diabetes, hypertension and carcinoma is steadily rising. Awareness about physical fitness and regular exercise can lead to more beneficial outcomes in people’s lives.

Aim: To assess physical fitness and mental health among transgenders and cisgenders.

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Kanyakumari Government Medical College, Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu, India from June 2022 to November 2022 among 60 cisgenders (males and females) and 30 transgenders, aged 18-35 years. Cardiopulmonary efficiency tests were performed and the physical fitness index was calculated. The mental health of all three groups was assessed using the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). The data were entered into Excel and the results were tabulated. Statistical analysis was conducted using one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with Bonferroni correction for numerical variables. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: The study revealed that pulmonary efficiency tests, such as breath-holding time and respiratory endurance tests, were significantly (p-value < 0.05) higher among males compared to females and transgenders. All three groups had poor fitness indices. Most of the transgenders (60%) reported being extremely satisfied with their lives compared to cisgenders.

Conclusion: All group- men, women and transgender individuals- were on the overweight-to-obese side. Men were able to perform the breath holding time and respiratory endurance test better than transgender individuals and women. All three groups- men, women and transgender individuals- had poor-to-average fitness indices.
Late Cretaceous polycotylid plesiosaurs of European Russia
Authors: Zverkov N. G.
Published: December 2024

Polycotylids are Cretaceous plesiosaurs with a relatively short neck and an elongated snout. For a long time, they were studied mainly based on the fossils from North America. Numerous finds of polycotylids from Russia shed light on their diversity in Late Cretaceous epicontinental seas of Europe. Russian finds demonstrate that some representatives of the family were widely distributed geographically and also shed light on unexpected features of the paleoecology of late representatives of the family.

Descemet membrane detachment after ocular chemical burns: case series and review of literature
Authors: Mandal Sohini , Jhajharia Hemant , Maharana Prafulla Kumar
Published: December 2024

Background:

Descemet's membrane detachment (DMD) is a rare complication after ocular chemical injury and its pathogenesis remains unclear. In this study, we reported three cases of DMD with traction demonstrated on Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT).

Case presentation:

Two patients sustained ocular chemical injury with 50% sodium hydroxide and one patient with hydrochloric acid 10%. ASOCT revealed detached Descemet's membrane in the inferior quadrant at 40 days, 36 days and 30 days after the injury respectively. Apart from receiving conservative treatment, the first case received intracameral tamponade with 12% C3F8 gas and the third case underwent amniotic membrane transplantation with symblepharon ring. However, DMD persisted in all the cases.

Conclusions:

The atypical features of DMD on anterior segment optical coherence tomography in our cases suggested the presence of an inflammatory component caused adhesions and traction to Descemet's membrane and prevented reattachment of DMD even with gas tamponade.

A Review of Nanotechnology Applications in Food Processing, Packaging, and Preservation
Authors: Chauhan Pranjali , Chauhan Ekta Singh , Singh Pragati
Published: December 2024

Nanotechnology has certainly become a phenomenon that is of great significance in many regions such as the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and in particular the food sector, over the years. This is because nanotechnology overlaps with pharmaceutical sciences which involve the structural modification of materials to the nano level, increasing the dissolution rate, stability, and functionality of a variety of food safety and quality applications. The novel food supply frameworks enable firms within the food sector to emerge sustainability focused innovations, which tackle safety and nutrition deficiencies within the food industry. Narrowing down on the supply chain, this review seeks to highlight nanotechnology applications across food supply chains, stressing the importance of advancements in bioavailability, nutrition, and safety. In aid of nutrient delivery, overcoming shelf life and packaging issues – development in nanoencapsulation technology and new packaging materials have enhanced mechanical properties, antibacterial properties. Moreover, nanodevice-based smart packaging is considered as valuable tools for real-time monitoring of food safety and quality. Despite these benefits, degenerative concerns about nanoparticles health risks underscore the importance of sound regulatory approaches. While nanotechnology shows considerable potential for enhancing food sustainability and quality, the study ultimately finds that comprehensive regulation and increased public awareness of potential risks are necessary first steps. Continued research and global collaboration may be vital to really unlock the potential of nanotechnology in food systems while safeguarding public health.

Evaluation of Mathematical Interdisciplinary Learning Based on an Improved SOLO Classification Method
Authors: Zheng Zixuan , Yang Zezhong , Liu Huafeng
Published: December 2024

Interdisciplinary learning is the need of the hour. Through an interdisciplinary approach, students can make connections between disciplines and see the correlations which improve overall learning. This is very much true in case of a subject like Mathematics. Both the "Mathematics Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education (2022 Edition)" and the "General High School Mathematics Curriculum Standards (2017 Edition, 2020 Revised)" emphasize the implementation of interdisciplinary thematic learning in Mathematics. Many scholars, such as Haoyan Feng, Yan Chen, Wei Zhou and so on, have done a lot of research on the connotation, design methods, and implementation strategies of interdisciplinary learning in Mathematics. However, there are only five pieces of literature devoted to the assessment of interdisciplinary learning in mathematics in China, and there is no specific model that can be applied to the evaluation of interdisciplinary learning in Mathematics. So, this article is based on the traditional "SOLO (Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome) classification and evaluation method" and the new curriculum standards. Firstly, it gives the specific division of the "SOLO categorized evaluation method" in interdisciplinary learning in Mathematics. On this basis, the dimension of emotional attitude is added, and combined with the performance of students in the process of interdisciplinary activities, a new hierarchical evaluation model "SOLO-ID classification and evaluation method" for interdisciplinary learning in Mathematics is formed to evaluate the level of students' interdisciplinary learning in Mathematics, and specific application cases are given. It has been proved that the new “SOLO-ID Classification and Evaluation Method” has taken into account the students' knowledge level, interdisciplinary ability, problem-solving ability and creativity, paid attention to the process, increased students' motivation to participate in the activities, and provided a reference for the further promotion of interdisciplinary learning in Mathematics.

Background: Pseudomonas species and Acinetobacter baumannii are uncommon opportunistic pathogens in our environment, they recently emerged as significant aetiological agents in healthcare associated infections particularly in immunocompromised individuals and have become increasingly resistant to antibiotics on a global scale, this is largely due to the widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, such as carbapenems and fifth generation cephalosporins.
This study's goal was to examine changes in antibiotic susceptibility profiles of A. baumannii and Pseudomonas spp isolates over the course of the one-year study period in our facility.
Methods: This was a retrospective study that involved a review of the medical microbiology laboratory records for the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Pseudomonas spp and Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from the urinary samples of patients who were been assessed for Urinary tract infection between April 2020 to March 2021. The bacteria were isolated and identified from routine urine samples using standard bacteria identification methods, including Analytical Profile Index (API). In vitro antibiotic susceptibility test (AST) to Aztreonam, Piperacillin-tazobactam, Cefoperazone, Levofloxacin, Amikacin, Ceftazidime, Imipenem and Meropenem was routinely performed by the modified Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test and susceptibility break points determined using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines.
Results: Acinetobacter baumannii isolates showed the more resistance rate to Ceftazidime (46.2%), Piperacillin-tazobactam (46.1%) and Levofloxacin (53.9%) but had least resistance to Aztreonam (0%), and Amikacin (15.4%). Similarly, Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were most resistant to Piperacillin-tazobactam (53.3%), followed by Ceftazidime and Cefoperazone (40%) respectively, however 60% of all Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were susceptible to Ceftazidime and Meropenem, while 46.7% were sensitive to Amikacin.
Conclusion: In our setting, the empirical treatment of urinary tract infections (UTI) due to A. baumannii are effectively treated by Aztreonam, Amikacin and Meropenem. While for Pseudomonas aeruginosa associated UTIs, Meropenem and Ceftazidime can be used for empirical treatment.
Finally, with the greater than 20% resistance rates to Carbapenems noticed in A. baumannii and some Pseudomonas species especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa, this emphasizes the need for antibiotic stewardship programme within our facility.

Background: The diphtheria outbreak in Nigeria, starting in December 2022, presented a significant public health challenge with over 16,000 confirmed cases by December 2023. The outbreak predominantly affected children in underserved communities, particularly in northern states such as Kano, Yobe, and Katsina, highlighting critical gaps in vaccination coverage and healthcare infrastructure. The outbreak began to diminish by October 2023, following intensified vaccination and surveillance efforts, and saw significant control measures leading to its near conclusion by February 2024.
Methods: This study analyzes the operational response by the Nigerian Red Cross Society (NRCS), the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), and the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA). Data from operational reports, community-based surveillance, immunization campaigns, and health promotion efforts were reviewed to assess intervention effectiveness.
Results: Coordinated strategies such as active case search, enhanced surveillance, and community engagement effectively reduced transmission and improved vaccine uptake. Risk communication and community engagement (RCCE) programs helped overcome cultural and religious vaccine hesitancy, while enhanced surveillance facilitated early detection. Operational challenges included low vaccine coverage, limited health infrastructure, and misinformation.
Conclusion: The NRCS-led multi-agency response was instrumental in controlling the outbreak, demonstrating the necessity of integrated public health strategies. Sustained investment in healthcare infrastructure, equitable vaccine access, and digital health technologies is essential for future outbreak prevention and early response, ensuring Nigeria’s resilience against similar health emergencies.

The storage of commercial onions is essential to meet off-season demands; however, it often results in significant quality degradation and post-harvest losses, including physiological loss in weight, sprouting and rotting. Thus an attempt had been made to test efficacy of ozone fumigation on physical and quality attributes of onion cv. Nasik Red. Onions were fumigated with varying concentrations of ozone in airtight LDPE (Low Density Poly Ethylene) containers for specific duration followed by 2 hours exposure to atmospheric air to dissipate residual ozone. The treated onions were stored and examined for about 3 months. Among treatments, the onions treated with a lesser ozone concentration (3637.2µl L-1 ozone per 10 minutes) demonstrated superior results including significant reduction in physiological loss in weight, sprouting, rotting, black mold incidence with the highest percentage of marketable bulbs. These findings suggest that controlled ozone fumigation, particularly at lower concentration effectively preserve the onions quality during storage, offering promising post harvest management strategy.
Chronic Care Model Impact on Type 2 Diabetes Care in Primary Care Setting in the Gulf Countries: A Scoping Literature Review
Authors: Elradi Yasir Mohammed Zaroug
Published: December 2024

Background: The Chronic Care Model (CCM) improves glycemic management, blood pressure, lipid profile, and complication rate at a lower cost.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate how implementing CCM principles may improve the quality of care for people with type 2 diabetes in the primary care setting in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations.
Methods: The search included Medline Central, Embase, Science Direct, Cochrane, Scopus, and gray literature. The search covered the period from January 1999 to March 2023. Then, the formulation of the data occurred.
Results: The largest number of studies assessing the components of the Collaborative Chronic Care Model (CCM) were conducted in Kuwait, while Oman only conducted one study. Two studies conducted in Gulf countries, specifically Qatar and Saudi Arabia, covered all elements of CCM. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) had the largest number of participants in its studies. Most studies focused on self-care management practices, while decision support received the least attention.
Conclusion: CCM had a significant positive effect by controlling HbA1c level, Blood pressure, and lipid profile, and is considered an important aspect of managing type 2 diabetes in primary care settings. The effectiveness of self-care management is influenced by factors such as patient literacy and awareness of the symptoms and complications associated with type 2 diabetes. Improving patient and healthcare provider participation and empowering patients are two key components of promoting self-care management among patients with type 2 diabetes.
Study of the Parameters of Anchor Body in-Water Motion in the Array Anchor Technique
Authors: Zheng Wang
Published: December 2024

When the rocket anchor enters the water, the projectile body hits the water surface and is subject to a great impact force, which may cause the failure of the internal zero devices and the damage of the anchor structure in serious cases, leading to the failure of the breach sealing mission. Therefore, it is particularly important to study the load characteristics of the anchor body in the process of water entry. In this paper, a numerical simulation of the anchor body in the process of water entry is carried out, focusing on the load distribution of the projectile body and other situations, which can provide certain guidance and reference for the structural design of the rocket anchor.
In this paper, based on the LS-DYNA module in Workbench, the flow-solid coupling numerical simulation of the anchor body water entry process is carried out by using the ALE method, and the motion law and load distribution of the anchor body under different water entry speeds, different water entry angles and different sizes are investigated and the pressure distribution of the flow field is analyzed, and the equivalent stresses of the upper, middle and lower parts of the rocket anchors under different working conditions are compared and analyzed. analyzed. The results show that the maximum impact force of the anchor body at water entry is linearly related to the water entry velocity, and reducing the water entry angle can effectively reduce the maximum impact force on the rocket anchor itself; for the rocket anchor structures with different sizes, the change of the force in the lower part is positively correlated to the size of the structure; the change of the stress in the middle part is not obvious; and the equivalent force in the upper part is in a fluctuating state, and with the increase of the structure of the rocket anchor, the smaller the fluctuating peak value is.

The nucleosome, a basic unit of chromatin found in all eukaryotes, is thought to be assembled through the orchestrated activity of several histone chaperones and chromatin assembly factors in a stepwise manner, proceeding from tetrasome assembly, to H2A/H2B deposition, and finally to formation of the mature nucleosome. In this study, we demonstrate chaperone‐mediated assembly of both tetrasomes and nucleosomes on the well‐defined Widom 601 positioning sequence using a co‐expression/reconstitution wheat germ cell‐free system. The purified tetrasomes and nucleosomes were positioned around the center of a given sequence. The heights and diameters were measured by atomic force microscopy. Together with the reported unmodified native histones produced by the wheat germ cell‐free platform, our method is expected to be useful for downstream applications in the field of chromatin research.
