Abstract The objective of this 9-month clinical study is to assess the impact of one-stage full-mouth disinfection (FMD) on salivary nitrite levels and systemic biomarkers and its correlation with total subgingival bacterial load in obese and non-obese patients with periodontitis. In total, 94 patients (55 obese and 39 non-obese) were initially evaluated, seven were lost during follow-up, resulting in 87 individuals at the end of the study. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, 3, 6, and 9 months post periodontal treatment by FMD. Salivary nitrite levels were determined using Griess reagent. Blood samples were collected to determine C-Reactive Protein (CRP), alkaline phosphatase and fasting blood glucose. Real-time PCR was used to determine the total subgingival bacterial load. FMD protocol resulted in increased salivary nitrite levels at 6- and 9-months post-treatment in the non-obese group (p<0.05). In obese individuals, FMD treatment led to an increase in salivary nitrite levels at 6 months (p<0.05); however, at 9 months, the nitrite levels returned to baseline levels. For both groups, the highest nitrite values were observed at 6 months. In addition, in both groups, FMD was associated with a decrease in biomarkers related to systemic inflammation and cardiovascular diseases, such as CRP (p<0.05) and alkaline phosphatase (p<0.05), and had no impact on the fasting blood glucose. This study demonstrates that obese patients with periodontitis present similar salivary nitrite levels when compared with non-obese individuals. FMD protocol resulted in increases in salivary nitrite levels and was associated with a positive impact on systemic biomarkers, regardless of obesity status.

Published: October 2021

Abstract The objective was assess the influence of untreated caries and socioeconomic status (SES) on school dropout among adolescents. A six-year cohort study was conducted with random sample of adolescents (12 years-old) who had been evaluated initially in 2012 from Santa Maria, Brazil. Sex, socioeconomic status (mother’s education and household income), and untreated caries were collected at the baseline. The outcome variable was collected at the follow-up through self-report and was divided into three categories: adolescents who only studied, who studied and employed, and who school dropouts. A multinomial regression model was performed to assess the influence of oral disease and SES on school leaving, through relative risk ratio (RRR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI). From of 1,134 adolescents evaluated at the baseline, 768 participants with a mean age of 17.5 years were re-evaluated at follow-up (67.8% response rate). Male (RRR: 2.31; 95%CI: 1.19-4.48) and adolescents with untreated caries at the baseline had an increment in school-leaving (RRR: 2.26; 95%CI: 1.12-4.56). Mothers with low education (RRR: 2.24; 95%CI: 1.09-4.61) had a higher probability of having children who leave school. Untreated caries and low SES in early adolescence can influence the tendency to school dropouts.

Published: October 2021

Abstract The ability of mouthrinses, available in the international market, to form reaction products on demineralized enamel (bioavailability test) was evaluated in vitro. Nine mouthrinses purchased in Chile were evaluated; eight formulated with NaF (one containing 100 µg F/mL and seven containing 226) and one with Na2FPO3 (226 µg F/mL as ion FPO3 ). Demineralized enamel slabs (n=15 per mouthrinse) were sectioned; one half was subjected to the assigned mouthrinse treatment for 10 min and the other half was used to obtain baseline data. Loosely bound and firmly bound fluoride formed on enamel were determined with an ion-specific electrode and the values were expressed in µg F/cm2. The concentration of fluoride and the pH of the mouthrinses were previously determined. Concentrations of loosely bound and firmly bound fluoride formed on enamel were independently analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey’s test (α=5%). The loosely bound and firmly bound fluoride concentrations formed ranged from 3.2 to 36.2 and 0.4 to 1.7, respectively. Loosely bound fluoride formed on enamel was significantly more effective in discriminating the effect of different commercial mouthrinses than firmly bound fluoride. Mouthrinses with 226 ppm F as NaF and low pH presented significantly greater bioavailability of fluoride on enamel than those with higher pH or lower NaF concentration. The mouthrinse with Na2FPO3 showed low reactivity. Although further studies are necessary, the findings showed that commercial fluoride-containing mouthrinses have important variations in enamel fluoride bioavailability, which may result in differences on anticaries efficacy.

Abstract We have evaluated the effects of different fish feeds on the body composition, growth, and enzyme activities of Labeo rohita (Rohu). In total, 240 fishes between the average weights of 24.77±2.15g were studied. The treatments were applied in a completely randomized design, with 4 treatments of 60 fishes each. Treatments consisted of four different fish feeds [Oryza (T1), AMG (T2), Aqua (T3), and Supreme (T4)]. Body composition, growth performance, and enzyme activities were evaluated. There was a significant variation in performance of fishes fed with different type of feed; as fishes having Oryza feed showed the highest weight gain, specific growth rate (SGR), and best feed conversion ratio (FCR) as compared to other groups that were considered to be significant (P ≤ 0.05). High net weight gain was obtained in T4 when compared with T2 and T3. FCR value of T4 was less than T1 but higher than T2, T3 and T2, which showed the lowest values. The specific growth rate was recorded as average in T4, but T2 led a high SGR than T3. Similarly, crude protein level and digestive enzymes activity was recorded significantly highest in fed with Oryza (T1) as compared to AMG (T2), Aqua (T3), and Supreme (T4). Water quality parameters were recorded significant in all treatments except pH and DO of treatment (T1), significantly different from other treatments. It was concluded that Rohu (Labeo rohita) could show a promising growth rate and protease enzyme activity when fed with the Oryza feed of 25% protein.

Published: October 2021

Resumen Las viñetas firmadas por mujeres han estado prácticamente ausentes de la prensa diaria, aunque han tenido acceso a algunos semanarios o revistas. Las ilustradoras gráficas actuales optan por romper el techo de cristal valiéndose de Facebook o Instagram para participar en el circuito de la opinión pública. En este estudio se identifican a aquellas que hacen humor en España. Se ha manejado un corpus de ciento diez viñetas relativas a once ilustradoras gráficas. Como método se emplea el análisis de contenido, aplicándose una ficha de análisis a cada una de las viñetas. Ello permite valorar los ejes temáticos que definen sus obras y que comparten en Instagram. Los resultados demuestran que los asuntos político-sociales o laborales se convierten en relevantes. Así pues, se rompe el prejuicio sexista que dictamina que las mujeres no participan de la denominada información dura a través del humor gráfico.

ABSTRACT Super sweet corn hybrids shall present production and quality traits in order to meet farmer’s, industry and consumer’s expectations. The aim of this study was to select experimental super sweet corn hybrids based on the Z index (I Z ). We evaluated 64 experimental hybrids from crosses between inbred lines of different groups along with two check hybrids. The experiments were carried out in Guarapuava-PR in two sowing seasons in 2016. The evaluated traits were male flowering, ear length, ear diameter, soluble solids content, husked ear yield, unhusked ear yield, and grain yield. The traits which most contributed to the Z index were related to ear and grain yields and soluble solids content. The first sowing season was the most favorable for the expression of yield related traits. The experimental hybrid D3-30 x D5-46 showed high performance in both sowing seasons and the hybrid D2-17 x D5-46 stood out in the second sowing season, being both promising, showing high productivity and quality of ear, considering the Z index.

ABSTRACT Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) is a root crop grown in many countries. This tuberous root is a source of energy, nutrients, and phytochemicals. In this study, bioactive compounds and physical and physicochemical qualities of sweetpotato genotypes were evaluated. Eight new genotypes of sweetpotato produced by Embrapa Hortaliças (orange-fleshed: MD09026-OF and MD09024-OF; cream-fleshed: MD09011-CF, MD09004-CF, MD10039-CF, and MD10004-CF; yellow-fleshed: MD09017-YF and MD12002-YF) and two cultivars used as controls (Beauregard and Brazlândia Roxa) were evaluated for color, soluble solids, dry matter, phenolic compounds, total carotenoids and β-carotene. Hue angles differed even between those sweetpotatoes with the same flesh color. The orange-fleshed genotypes MD09024-OF, MD09026-OF, and Beauregard, had the lowest L*, showing to be darker than the others. These sweetpotatoes also had the brightest flesh colors with higher C*. The orange-fleshed genotypes MD09026-OF and MD09024-OF were sweeter (10.55oBrix and 9.23oBrix) than Beauregard (5.12oBrix). Brazlândia Roxa had the highest dry matter content (38.05%), followed by the genotypes MD10004-CF, MD09017-YF, MD09026-OF MD10039-CF, and MD09011-CF, which showed similarity, ranging from 32.33% to 29.12%. The highest contents of total carotenoids were found for the orange-fleshed genotypes MD09026-OF (80.06 mg g-1) and MD09024-OF (70.56 mg g-1) and Beauregard (73.12 mg g-1). These same genotypes showed the highest total phenolic compounds (0.815 mg g-1 and 0.686 mg g-1, respectively). MD09026-OF showed the highest content of β-carotene (46.47 mg g-1). MD09026-OF was the most prominent genotype among those evaluated, as it showed the highest total carotenoid, β-carotene, phenolic compounds, and soluble solids content, in addition to a high dry matter content.

ABSTRACT Vegetable cultivation requires high water use and weed control. Soil cover using recycled paper, can be an alternative to polyethylene film to reduce weed incidence, soil temperature and increase water use efficiency beyond reduces costs and environmental pollutions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of biodegradable mulch in weed management and water use efficiency (WUE) in lettuce crop. The treatments were composed of brown recycled paper (RP), black polyethylene film (PF) and soil without cover with weed removal (WR) and without weed removal (WW). RP and PF were efficient to control weeds. The soil temperature with RP was 8.2 and 2.1ºC lower than with PF and WR, respectively. The lettuce yield with RP was 14.5 and 28.3% higher than WR, and with PF, respectively. The water volume applied with RP was 26.5% lower, and WUE was 55.6% higher compared to WR. Soil cover with recycled paper controlled weeds, reduced soil temperature and water consumption and increased yield and water use efficiency in lettuce crop.
AS REPERCUSSÕES DAS AVALIAÇÕES EXTERNAS EM LARGA ESCALA NA ORGANIZAÇÃO DO TRABALHO PEDAGÓGICO:

Published: October 2021

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar a presença das avaliações externas em larga escala na organização do trabalho pedagógico das escolas acompanhadas pelos licenciandos em matemática do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de São Paulo, campus Bragança Paulista, durante o desenvolvimento do estágio supervisionado, contemplando as reflexões que eles construíram a partir dos estudos teóricos que orientaram esse processo. Para tanto, foram analisados, considerando a técnica de análise de conteúdo, 19 relatórios construídos, no 2º semestre de 2019, pelos licenciandos do curso de Licenciatura em Matemática do referido curso. Foi observado que, durante a realização dos estágios, os licenciandos se deparam com as repercussões das avaliações externas na organização do trabalho pedagógico. Tais repercussões perpassam os momentos as Aulas de Trabalho Pedagógico Coletivo (ATPC), Conselhos de Classe, Reuniões de Pais e Mestres e planejamento de atividades para os estudantes. A análise dos relatórios demonstra que os futuros docentes refletiram sobre essas repercussões na gestão das escolas, nas práticas pedagógicas dos docentes e no processo formativo dos estudantes. Defende-se que os cursos de formação de professores dediquem tempo e espaço para análise das relações entre avaliação e organização do trabalho pedagógico, de modo a fomentar a (des)construção de concepções e práticas relacionadas à lógica do treinamento e do estritamento curricular, advinda das avaliações externas em larga escala.
Use of the FRP plates instead of steel sheets in the joints of wooden structures
Authors: Alsheghri Abdullah , Akgül Tahir
Published: October 2021

The use of steel plates in the joints of wooden structures is a common practice. However, because of the presence of natural moisture in the wood, steel sheets are easily corroded, and for this reason, the wood near the joints decays over time and thus, shortens the life of wooden structures. This study examines the feasibility of using noncorrosive fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) instead of steel plates applied in different joint areas of wooden structures, in terms of mechanical strength. In the study, six samples were tested with five different joint types, four different materials and two different experiments. As a result, it was found that besides many physical advantages of FRP, the strength of the carbon fibre reinforced plastic samples exceeded that of the samples reinforced with steel sheets by 50%, and the strength of the glass fibre reinforced plastic samples reached 70% of the strength of samples reinforced with steel sheets.

Die absolute Form und die Geschichte. Betrachtungen zum Haus Habermas
Authors: Maak Niklas
Published: October 2021

Auf Einladung von Jürgen Habermas schrieb der Kunsthistoriker Martin Warnke Ende der siebziger Jahre für den Sammelband «zur Geistigen Situation der Zeit» einen Essay mit dem überraschenden Titel «Zur Situation der Couchecke». «Die Couchecke ist einmal entstanden», heißt es zu Beginn des Texts. «Was wäre verloren oder gewonnen, wenn sie wieder verschwände?» An diese Frage schließt Warnke eine kulturgeschichtliche Betrachtung des bürgerlichen Wohnens und seiner Metamorphosen an: Zustand und Wandlungen einer Gesellschaft werden an den Dingen und Möbeln abgelesen, mit denen sie sich umgibt. Warnkes besonderes Augenmerk gilt der Couchecke mit dem dazugehörigen, auf Kniehöhe abgesenkten Couchtisch, der die Sitzenden gewissermaßen schon rein körperlich zu einer Form andauernder Innerlichkeit, zur Senkung des Blicks auf die dort geparkten Teller und Kaffeetassen zwang.
Überwachen und Surfen. Die neueste Unübersichtlichkeit
Authors: Bernard Andreas
Published: October 2021

Jürgen Habermas ist nicht zuletzt der große Überlebende der Philosophie. Adorno ist vor 52 Jahren gestorben, Heidegger vor 45, Foucault vor 37, Derrida vor 17, und wie historisch etwa jene erbittert geführten Debatten zwischen Kritischer Theorie und (Post-)Strukturalismus mittlerweile geworden sind, die in den achtziger Jahren Habermas’ Schriften prägten, erkennt man an den zugrundeliegenden Kategorien und Oppositionen seiner eigenen Texte. In dem Aufsatz «Untiefen der Rationalitätskritik», 1984 in der ZEIT erschienen und ein Jahr später in dem Band Die neue Unübersichtlichkeit wiederabgedruckt, bündelt Habermas sein Misstrauen gegenüber jenen vorwiegend französischen Denkern, die «in die anarchistische Lichtung der Postmoderne heraustreten». Sie «verbinden die Kritik der Subjektphilosophie» mit «einer totalen Vernunftkritik», die von «theoretischer Verantwortlichkeit» im Sinne eines Denkens cartesianischer Tradition nichts mehr wissen wolle.

Der 34-jährige Jürgen Habermas lehrt seit 1961 mit Unterstützung Gadamers als Professor in Heidelberg und wird bald nach Frankfurt wechseln, wo Horkheimer ihm einst die Habilitation verwehrte. Der 33-jährige Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde (1930–2019) hat gerade seine Habilitationsschrift in Münster eingereicht, wird in wenigen Wochen sein Verfahren abschließen, und ein Lehrstuhl wartet bereits auf ihn in Heidelberg, den er im Sommersemester 1964 antritt. Publizistisch ist er seit seinen bahnbrechenden Aufsätzen im Hochland, für das Ethos der Demokratie und gegen das opportunistischen Verhalten der Kirche im Jahre 1933, in katholischen Kreisen bereits sehr bekannt.
Rückzug vom entzauberten Bewußtsein

Ein «stoischer Rückzug vom historischen Bewußtsein» war wohl so ziemlich das Letzte, was Jürgen Habermas im Sinn hatte, als ihn im Frühsommer 1964, mitten in seinem ersten Frankfurter Semester als Lehrstuhlnachfolger Max Horkheimers, ein Brief aus dem Tessiner Bergdorf Carona erreichte. Der Verfasser war sein früherer Heidelberger Kollege Karl Löwith. Ihm hatte Habermas ein Jahr zuvor im Merkur einen solchen Rückzug zugeschrieben, in einem jener Philosophisch-politischen Profile, mit denen er in den fünfziger und sechziger Jahren sein eigenes Profil schärfte.
Der Verlorene

Published: October 2021

Als Jürgen Habermas nach Frankfurt zum Institut für Sozialforschung stieß, hatte der 27-jährige Roth-acker-Schüler gewiss soziologische Ambitionen, aber darüber hinaus dürfte es ihm besonders reizvoll erschienen sein, Theodor W. Adorno Tür an Tür bei seinem eigenwilligen Philosophieren zuzuschauen. Habermas wurde im Institutsalltag in die verschüttete Welt der vertriebenen jüdischen Linksintelligenz eingeführt, vor allem von Gretel Adorno, in deren Zimmer Benjamins Klee-Gemälde Angelus Novus hing, welches der verstorbene Freund als Allegorie auf die Katastrophen der Geschichte gedeutet hatte. Sie glaubte, wie Gershom Scholem übrigens auch, eine physiognomische Ähnlichkeit zwischen Benjamin und Habermas feststellen zu können.
Innerdeutsches Frankreich

Dieser 11. September sorgte für erhebliche Irritationen im Verhältnis zwischen deutschen und französischen Intellektuellen. 1980 nahm Jürgen Habermas an jenem Tag den Adorno-Preis der Stadt Frankfurt entgegen und teilte – für so manchen Beobachter unerwartet – in seiner Dankesrede gegen die «Jungkon-servativen» aus dem Nachbarland aus. Nicht genug, dass Pariser Philosophen keinerlei Anstalten mehr machen, am unvollendeten Projekt der Moderne mitzuwirken. Sie gefallen sich obendrein in einer pseudo-radikalen Pose des «unversöhnlichen Antimodernismus». Ein Stammvater dieses Abfalls vom aufklärerischen Denken war schnell ausgemacht: Georges Bataille mit seinem Lob der Ektase, der Entgrenzung und Überschreitung. Die Rede wurde übersetzt, erschien ausgerechnet in der von Bataille mitgegründeten Monatszeitschrift Critique und schlug in Frankreich hohe Wellen.

There are high-precision positions, proper motions, parallaxes and radial velocities at the instant 2015.5 for all three components of the star ADS 48 ABF in the catalogue Gaia DR2 (2018). According to these data relative motions and the family of orbits were calculated by the Apparent Motion Parameters (AMP) method (Kiselev and Kiyaeva, 1980), and the best orbit was chosen for the inner pair AB. A perturbation with the period of 11 years was discovered according to Pulkovo observations of the outer pair. The reasons for the perturbation are discussed.

One of the friction-stir welding (FSW) limitations is joining thin sheets in sheet-metal manufacturing. To solve this limitation, thicker sheets can be welded with FSW and then rolled to a thinner thickness. This can improve the mechanical properties and save the weld zone soundly. In this work, 3-mm aluminum sheets were joined with FSW. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the samples were assessed at various rotational speeds (w) and travel speeds (v). Then, the welded samples were cold worked (CW) by rolling them at different percentages so that the samples were 2 mm and 1 mm thick. The effects of welding and post rolling on the mechanical properties and a failure analysis were deliberated. It was shown that welding reduces the transverse ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of FSWed samples by up to 29 % compared to the UTS of the base metal (BM), while rolling FSWed samples increased the UTS of the cold-worked FSWed samples by up to 94.7 % in comparison to the UTS of FSWed samples. Also, during the tensile test of the specimens FSWed at a lower travel speed, a fracture occurred at the stir zone (SZ)/thermo-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ) interface, on the advancing part; however, at a higher travel speed, it occurred at the interface of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) and TMAZ, on the retreating part. Moreover, during the tensile test of the cold-worked FSWed samples, the failure took place at the HAZ and the interface of the SZ and TMAZ, respectively. The UTS was risen by increasing the cold work. The UTS of a specimen FSWed at 50 mm/min and 1200 min–1 went up from 76 MPa to 124 MPa due to 33-% cold work and to 148 MPa due to 66-% cold work; meanwhile, the fracture occurred at the SZ/TMAZ interface or TMAZ of most of the post-rolled FSWed samples.

Porous cobalt (Co) microspheres were successfully synthesized via a facile surfactant-free solvothermal route. These microspheres have an average diameter of about 2 µm, assembled by many primary Co nanosheets. A possible formation mechanism of porous Co microspheres is discussed. The magnetic hysteresis loop shows a ferromagnetic feature of porous Co microspheres and the saturation magnetization (Ms) and coercivity (Hc) are 115.3 J/T·kg and 6.883 kA/m, respectively.
HIGH-TEMPERATURE OXIDATION BEHAVIOR OF AN N5 NANOCRYSTALLINE COATING DEPOSITED BY ESD ON A NI-BASED SINGLE-CRYSTAL SUPERALLOY
Authors: Wang Rongyan , Liu Quan , Wang Meng , Lu Xudong , Guo Cean , Zhang Jian
Published: October 2021

An N5 nanocrystalline coating was prepared on a Ni-based single-crystal superalloy by electrospark deposition. The morphologies, chemical composition, and phase constitution of the coating were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The high-temperature oxidation resistance of the substrate and coating at 1100℃ was tested in a static isothermal oxidation experiment. The results show that the electrospark deposition coating with columnar crystal structure is composed of nanocrystalline; there is no elemental interdiffusion between the substrate and the coating, which effectively avoids decreasing the mechanical properties of the substrate alloy due to the interdiffusion. Migration and aggregation of a reactive element, Ta, in the nanocrystalline coating substantially improves oxide film adhesion

Published: October 2021

Although the field of neurotechnology is predicted to grow at a tremendous rate and become a part of our everyday lives, we have not witnessed an equivalent growth rate in neuroscience education at the high school level. This represents a missed opportunity to have an educated public that understands the application and benefits of these technologies, as well as educated students who are able to fill the predicted demand in neurotechnology jobs.There exists a need for hands-on, active learning-based approaches for demonstrating neurotechnology and neuroscience principles to high school students. Here, we describe how to build a low-cost assay and how to run a high school workshop to introduce students to a particular neurotechnology: optogenetics. In the workshop, students use light to activate different neurons in the nervous system of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and use their own cell phone to capture and annotate the behaviors driven by each type of neuron.Our workshop can be adopted in outreach programs to provide a low-cost hands-on learning tool to demonstrate optogenetics and neuroscience concepts to high school classrooms. Additionally, the optogenetics assay may be adopted by resource limited labs looking to perform optogenetics experiments.

Introduction: Cerebrovascular accident or stroke is a disease of the vascular system of the brain.According to ICD 11, stroke is classified as a neurological disease and not under the circulatorysystem. It is the second leading cause of death worldwide. It cannot be said that high Serum UricAcid [SUA] amongst patients with cerebrovascular accidents is directly correlated with theiroutcome. The present study planned to estimate uric acid levels and their association in acute strokepatients, both ischemic and hemorrhagic. Method: A total of 100 stroke patients admitted under theneurology department were included in the study. Brain imaging (CT/MRI) was performed. Theserum uric acid was estimated. Results: Out of a total of 100 patients, 74 were males, and 26 werefemales. Nine patients were less than 45 years old and 91 patients were 45 and above. Thirty-ninepatients had ischemic, and 61 patients had a hemorrhagic stroke, respectively. Out of 100 patients,23 patients had normal uric acid levels (<7mg/dl). Seventy-seven patients were with high uric acidlevels. The mean serum uric acid concentration in male patients was 8.48±2.7and 9.20±2.7 infemales. Among the total 100 cases, 69 survived, and the remaining 31 were among the non-survivor group at the time of discharge. Mean serum uric acid in stroke survivors was 8.5±2.6mg/dl, while in non-survivors, it was 8.6±2.2 mg/dl. There was no significant difference between thelevels of uric acid among survivors and non-survivors. Conclusions: The prevalence ofhyperuricemia (>9mg/dl) amongst stroke patients was 77% in the present study. The values ofserum uric acid were significantly elevated in the patients aged > 45 years. The serum uric acidvalues were high among the group of hyperglycemic and hypertensive patients at the time ofadmission. There was no significant difference between the levels of uric acid among survivors andnon-survivors.

Objetivo: Evaluar la validez del inmunodiagnóstico del HTLV I/II en bancos de sangre, con base en estudios publicados en la literatura científica. Metodología: Se efectuó un metaanálisis de pruebas diagnósticas siguiendo la guía prisma y las recomendaciones de Cochrane. Se evaluó la calidad metodológica con QUADAS y se garantizó la reproducibilidad y la exhaustividad. Se realizó también un análisis de efectos aleatorios para la sensibilidad, la especificidad, los cocientes de probabilidad, la razón de momios diagnóstica y la curva característica operativa del receptor (ROC) con sus intervalos de confianza (IC) del 95 %. Resultados: Se tamizaron 4604 estudios, de los cuales solo tres cumplieron el protocolo. Se evaluaron 548 infectados con HTLV I/II y 6643 sanos. El inmunodiagnóstico de HTLV I/II presentó una sensibilidad del 99 % (IC95 % = 98,0-99,0), especificidad del 100 % (IC 95 % = 99,9-100), cocientes de probabilidad positivo de 315,8 (IC95 % = 128,2-778,5) y negativo de 0,02 (IC95 % = 0,01-0,04), razón de momios diagnóstica de 24373 (IC95 % = 6864-86545) y área bajo la curva ROC del 99,9 %. Conclusión: Se dispone de pocos estudios en este campo del inmunodiagnóstico HTLV I/II. El elevado número de sujetos analizados evidenció alta validez del inmunodiagnóstico, lo que resulta determinante para garantizar la inocuidad de las unidades de sangre, la detección de portadores asintomáticos, la disminución de la transmisión y el inicio de tratamiento.

Published: October 2021

Sediment cores from the southern South China Sea off the Terengganu coast were analyzed for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH s) and perylene. The concentrations of total 17 PAH (TPAHs) and perylene varied between 5.45-27.7 ng/g and 0.51-7.77 ng/g, respectively. Analyses of variance showed significant differences between the stations, but not in sub-bottom depths at the 0.05 level. The PAH cross plots showed a predominance of pyrogenic over petrogenic PAH s. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed clustered PAH s that are correlated with total organic carbon (TOC), indicating the importance of surface runoff via fluvial transport for contributing these PAH s to the coastal environment of the study area. Overall, the concentrations of PAH s in the study area are considered to be in the low range, not exceeding the 100 ng/g mark.
