¿Quienes somos "nosotros"? Preliminares para una política de identidad
Authors: Innerarity Daniel
Published: October 2019

Las sociedades modernas se caracterizan por su complejidad. Desde el punto de vista de la teoría de sistemas eso significa que siempre hay una pluralidad de perspectivas desde las que pueden ser observadas y también significa que el observador es, a la vez, objeto de la observación de otro. En estas condiciones no es posible encontrar una unidad de pertenencia, una identidad aislable que pueda ser concebida como un "nosotros". Se produce un intercambio entre lo familiar y lo extraño. Si antaño, lo extraño era lo no familiar ahora la diferencia se hace progresivamente más relativa. En el orden constitucional de la convivencia democrática siempre queda un "nosotros" paradójico que se reproduce y se transforma de modo incesante. Por eso lo político no puede ser monopolizado por las realidades institucionales, por la organización de la sociedad y por un estado ritual. "Lo político es más bien el lugar en el que una sociedad actúa sobre sí misma y renueva las formas de su espacio público común". Por eso, la identidad de lo común no es de carácter cronológico. La "sociedad", en el sentido que esta expresión adquiere en Tönnies, no ha surgido de la pérdida de una previa "comunidad", lo cual no significa que el pueblo no exista en absoluto, sino que es una magnitud inestable, una realidad abierta y mutable.
Las tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación y su uso por los niños y los adolescentes

Published: October 2019

Este trabajo analiza los modos en que se relacionan los niños y los adolescentes con las diferentes tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC), tecnologías que les permiten acceder a contenidos multimedia, con nuevas posibilidades interactivas, y a comunicarse entre sí. Los niños y los jóvenes han integrado perfectamente estas tecnologías en sus vidas y no se puede decir que su uso perjudique sus relaciones familiares y personales, dejando fuera de nuestro estudio los casos de adicción en el consumo y/o las conductas patológicas. Los niños y los jóvenes perciben sólo la versión lúdica de los aparatos que manejan con más asiduidad. Aunque el factor de diversión es importante también en los teléfonos móviles, en su uso prima el factor comunicativo, como lo demuestra el hecho de que los mensajes y las llamadas sean los aspectos más valorados. Los mayores encuentran también un uso escolar al ordenador y al acceso a Internet, para obtener información, pero incluso éstos usan los equipos informáticos para jugar o entretenerse (oír música, por ejemplo), o para comunicarse también, a través del e-mail y la mensajería instantánea. Este componente lúdico asociado a los equipamientos tecnológicos es el que permite que los niños y jóvenes vean estos aparatos como medios de comunicación en diferentes sentidos y es el intercambio de experiencias derivadas de su consumo lo que dota a estas tecnologías de su verdadero valor.
Televisión: nuevos tiempos, nuevas normas
Authors: Laguna de Paz José Carlos
Published: October 2019

La reforma de la legislación de televisión es una necesidad inaplazable. Hay que acabar con el rompecabezas legislativo actual, que comporta una dificultad inaceptable para los operadores y deteriora la seguridad jurídica. Sobre todo, es preciso superar una normativa que considera a la televisión servicio público, cuya gestión se "concede" a unos pocos. El desarrollo tecnológico hace que las diferencias entre la prensa y la televisión sean hoy adjetivas. Desde luego, la ordenación y asignación de recursos escasos no puede seguir siendo la excusa para publificar la actividad. Es preciso afirmar la libertad de televisión, que -en todas sus modalidades- ha de estar abierta a cuantas iniciativas sean técnicamente posibles. A partir de aquí, hay que controlar estrictamente la justificación y financiación de las televisiones públicas, incluidas las autonómicas. En una palabra, los poderes públicos deben centrarse en sus auténticas funciones, que no son ofrecer información y entretenimiento. Su papel está en asegurar la mayor competencia posible, evitar intolerables concentraciones multimedia y asegurar la protección de determinados bienes jurídicos.

Published: October 2019

We define computable infinitary rewriting by introducing computability to the study of strongly convergent infinite reductions over infinite first-order terms.

Given computable infinitary reductions, we show that descendants and origins—essential to proving fundamental properties such as compression and confluence—are computable across such reductions.

Published: October 2019

Glutamate excitotoxicity has long been related to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathophysiology, and it has been shown to affect the major AD-related hallmarks, amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) accumulation and tau phosphorylation (p-tau). We investigated whether oral administration of monosodium glutamate (MSG) has effects in a murine model of AD, the double transgenic mice APP/PS1. We found that AD pathogenic factors appear earlier in APP/PS1 when supplemented with MSG, while wildtype mice were essentially not affected. Aβ and p-tau levels were increased in the hippocampus in young APP/PS1 animals upon MSG administration. This was correlated with increased Cdk5-p25 levels. Furthermore, in these mice, we observed a decrease in the AMPA receptor subunit GluA1 and they had impaired long-term potentiation. The Hebb-Williams Maze revealed that they had memory deficits. We show here for the first time that oral MSG supplementation can accelerate AD-like pathophysiology in a mouse model of AD.

Published: October 2019

Background:

Elevated peripheral levels of different cytokines and chemokines in subjects with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), as compared with healthy controls (HC), have emphasized the role of inflammation in such a disease. Considering the cross-talking between the central nervous system and the periphery, the inflammatory analytes may provide utility as biomarkers to identify AD at earlier stages.

Objective:

Using an advanced statistical approach, we can discriminate the interactive network of cytokines/chemokines and propose a useful tool to follow the progression and evolution of AD, also in light of sex differences.

Methods:

A cohort of 289 old-age subjects was screened for cytokine and chemokine profiling, measured in plasma, after a thorough clinical and neuropsychological evaluation. A custom algorithm based on Fisher linear discriminant analysis was applied to ascertain a classification signature able to discriminate HC from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD.

Results:

We observed that a joint expression of three proteins (a “signature” composed by IFN- α2, IL-1 α, TNF α) can discriminate HC from AD with an accuracy of 65.24%. Using this signature on MCI samples, 84.93% of them were classified as “non-HC”. Stratifying MCI samples by sex, we observed that 87.23% of women were classified as “non-HC”, and only 57.69% of males. Indeed, in a scatter plot of IFN- α2 and IL-1 α, the HC group was better separated from MCI and AD in women as compared with men.

Conclusion:

These findings suggest that AD is accompanied by a peripheral inflammatory response that can already be present in MCI subjects, thus providing a mean for detecting this at-risk status and allow an anticipated intervention.

Published: October 2019

Background:

Although hydromethylthionine is a potent tau aggregation inhibitor, no difference was found in either of two Phase III trials in mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD) comparing doses in the range 150–250 mg/day with 8 mg/day intended as a control.

Objective:

To determine how drug exposure is related to treatment response.

Methods:

A sensitive plasma assay for the drug was used in a population pharmacokinetic analysis of samples from 1,162 of the 1,686 patients who participated in either of the Phase III trials with available samples and efficacy outcome data.

Results:

There are steep concentration-response relationships for steady state plasma levels in the range 0.3–0.8 ng/ml at the 8 mg/day dose. Using a threshold based on the lower limit of quantitation of the assay on Day 1, there are highly significant differences in cognitive decline and brain atrophy in patients with above threshold plasma levels, both for monotherapy and add-on therapy, but with effect sizes reduced by half as add-on. Plasma concentrations in the range 4–21 ng/ml produced by the high doses are not associated with any additional benefit.

Conclusions:

Hydromethylthionine has pharmacological activity on brain structure and function at the 8 mg/day dose as monotherapy or as add-on to symptomatic treatments. This combined with a plateau at higher doses is consistent with the lack of dose-response seen in the Phase III trials. Treatment benefit is predicted to be maximal at 16 mg/day as monotherapy. A placebo-controlled trial in mild/moderate AD is now ongoing to confirm efficacy at this dose.
Bergenin Ameliorates MPTP-Induced Parkinson’s Disease by Activating PI3K/Akt Signaling Pathway
Authors: Ji Yangfei , Wang Dan , Zhang Boai , Lu Hong
Published: October 2019

Background:

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most prevalent progressive neurodegenerative disease, second only to Alzheimer’s disease, with motor disorders and cognitive impairment. Bergenin (Berg), extracted from the herb of Saxifrage stolonifera Curt. (Hu-Er-Cao), has anti-tumor, anti-inflammation, anti-oxidative stress, and neuroprotective properties.

Objective:

In this study, we wanted to investigate the effects of Berg on PD and the underlying mechanisms.

Methods:

1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) was used to introduce PD symptoms in mice. The expression levels of tyrosine hydroxylase, dopamine, and Iba-1 were examined. The levels of a series of inflammatory mediators were measured by qPCR. In addition, the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway was investigated to illustrate the underlying mechanism. In vitro, PC12 cells subjected to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were treated with Berg.

Results:

We found that MPTP injection introduced motor deficits, apoptosis of neurons and inflammation, as well as inhibited the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. However, Berg treatment suppressed the MPTP-induced alterations. In vitro, Berg attenuated the cytotoxic effects on PC12 cells induced by the culture supernatants derived from LPS-induced microglial cells.

Conclusion:

Berg attenuated the PD symptoms via activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in vivo and in vitro.
Overfitting, robustness, and malicious algorithms: A study of potential causes of privacy risk in machine learning
Authors: Yeom Samuel , Giacomelli Irene , Menaged Alan , Fredrikson Matt , Jha Somesh
Published: October 2019

Machine learning algorithms, when applied to sensitive data, pose a distinct threat to privacy. A growing body of prior work demonstrates that models produced by these algorithms may leak specific private information in the training data to an attacker, either through the models’ structure or their observable behavior. This article examines the factors that can allow a training set membership inference attacker or an attribute inference attacker to learn such information. Using both formal and empirical analyses, we illustrate a clear relationship between these factors and the privacy risk that arises in several popular machine learning algorithms.

We find that overfitting is sufficient to allow an attacker to perform membership inference and, when the target attribute meets certain conditions about its influence, attribute inference attacks. We also explore the connection between membership inference and attribute inference, showing that there are deep connections between the two that lead to effective new attacks. We show that overfitting is not necessary for these attacks, demonstrating that other factors, such as robustness to norm-bounded input perturbations and malicious training algorithms, can also significantly increase the privacy risk. Notably, as robustness is intended to be a defense against attacks on the integrity of model predictions, these results suggest it may be difficult in some cases to simultaneously defend against privacy and integrity attacks.
Congenital dengue in a Saudi neonate: A case report
Authors: Alallah J. , Mohtisham F. , Saidi N. , Almehdar A. , Anees A. , Sallout A.
Published: October 2019

BACKGROUND:

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral illness with 100 million new cases occurring worldwide. The vectors involved are mainly Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Dengue infection is associated with maternal as well as fetal morbidities, like stillbirth, preterm birth, and low birth weight.

THE CASE:

We report a case of dengue fever occurring during early pregnancy and subsequent congenital neurologic malformation in the neonate as a result of vertical transmission. To our knowledge, this is the first case of confirmed congenital dengue in Saudi Arabia.

DISCUSSION:

Dengue infection is not commonly associated with congenital anomalies and no biologic mechanism has yet been established for its teratogenicity. Congenital dengue in neonates can be confirmed by identification of the dengue virus in cord blood samples. The positive dengue serology within the first week of life, together with the confirmed maternal dengue infection during pregnancy, supports the diagnosis of vertical transmission in the presence of clinical manifestations. A high index of suspicion, early diagnosis, and close monitoring is needed in these cases.

Abstract. The research results are devoted to assessing the effectiveness of cultivating winter wheat on various taxonomic elements (taxa) of the agrolandscape: the outskirts of the plakor (A1), the root slope of the SE exposure (A2), the lower part of the root slope (A4), the root slope of the SV exposure (A4) using the stubble system backgrounds, including three options: stubble (control); leaving stubble and plant residues; removal of stubble and plant residues in the zone of unstable moistening of the Central Ciscaucasia. Soils of taxa of light-loamy granulometric composition, range of agrochemical parameters: humus 2.65–3.85%; P2O5 15.7–21.1 mg/kg; K2O 127.5–189.8 mg/kg. The method of dimensions determined the possibility, according to the humidity and the presence of plant residues, to predict the relative biological activity of the soil, taking into account the adaptation coefficient C, obtained experimentally for a specific type of soil. Over the years of research, the amount of precipitation of the early spring period (March) averaged 58 mm, and of the late spring period (May) 126 mm. Statistical processing of experimental data on the biological activity of the soil, according to the degree of decomposition of flax linen at different levels of moisture, showed the greatest biological activity in the lower part of the root slope (A3) – 35 %. Established a significant increase in the yield of winter wheat on the facial elements A2, A3 and A4 in comparison with the poster (A1), amounting to 4.2; 14.3 and 5.5 c/ha, respectively, with the highest yield observed in the lower part of the root slope (A3) – 33.3 c/ha. Stubble backgrounds are not a significant factor in the formation of a crop of winter wheat, the yield on stubble backgrounds is 24.8–25.2 c/ha.

WHAT DO TEENAGERS PARENTS KNOW ABOUT DRUG USE AND HOW DO THEY UNDERSTAND PREVENTING IT?
Authors: Costin Alina , Bran Liliana Renate
Published: October 2019

Introduction On one hand, drug use has become an extremely welcomed subjectbecause it „needs to be”, and because it has to be treated seriously; on the otherhand, it is addressed to with great ignorance among all the actors directly involvedin handling this phenomenon. The problem of drug use, with all the dimensions ofit, must take care of this behavior and it can be classified as mental healthproblems, which will have multiple consequences for their care in the healthplan. Literature has already become a classic, such as Learning Theories(Bandura, 1986, Skinnere, Thorndike, etc.), Family-Based Theories and SystemicApproach (Waldrom, 1998), and more recent works by Stephen J. Bahr, John P.Hoffmann, Xiaoyan Yang, stresses the role of the family in building childprotection factors for substance use.

Purpose. The purpose of this research is to investigatethe parents of the high school students in Arad Municipality regarding theinformation they have about drugs, their perception related to their child'srelationship with drugs and how they "treat" this topic.Design The qualitative information we want to obtain has imposed a specificdesign for qualitative research. The study is descriptive and has a practicalorientation- it was carried out between June and September 2019.Methodology We have created 8 focus groups with parents of high schoolstudents with different demographic characteristics (level of education, religion,provenance, family status) and we have made 3 profound interviews for eachcategory of people we have selected.

Results This paper presents the preliminary qualitative results of a study that is still in progress. The focus groups carried out indicates that the vast majority of parents treat this topic of consumptionsuperficially. Their parenting principle is based on building a strong, positive andopen relationship, but the child is a fundamental premise in preventing any deviatbehavior. But they have as a parenting principle that to build a strong positive, open anddialogue relationship, but the child, which is a fundamental premise in preventingany deviant behavior.

Originality and Limitations The originality of this study and why it was realised is dueto the lack of information upon this subject, at least in this city, Arad, and the mainlimitations consit in the imposibility of generating the conclusions regarding thewhole population concerned.

Published: October 2019

The study was carried out to characterize Ethiopian smallholder farmers’ practice and indigenous knowledge on bull station service and adoption of different mating systems. A total of 62 respondents were selected from the smallholder dairy farming communities representing three districts in the Oromia region. A multistage sampling procedure was used to select sampling areas and respondents. A standardized questionnaire was used to collect qualitative and quantitative data using person to person interview. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical procedures of SPSS. According to the findings of the study, Ethiopian smallholder dairy farmers are using both bull service and artificial insemination for dairy cattle breeding. The bulls used for mating are either those bulls kept for communal use at bull stations or bulls belong to individual farmers. The sources of all those bulls were research centers (15.5%), NGOs (37.5%), cooperatives (7.8%), born and grown at farmers’ own farms (10%) and other sources (29.2%). About 79% of the interviewed respondents were participants of bull station service and above 63% of them started to participate in less than a decade ago. In bull station, one bull did serve 3 to 30 females per week. In addition to the bull service, considerable numbers of farmers were using artificial insemination. The study revealed that both natural mating and artificial insemination methods are acceptable as appropriate mating systems and have their own advantage and disadvantages. So, bull service can be further adopted as an option for improving dairy production and productivity at smallholder farmers’ level particularly in areas where there is limited access for an efficient AI service. The study provided valuable information that can support the importance of using bull station services and adopt different mating systems to improve dairy cattle production and productivity in smallholder dairy farming systems in Ethiopia.

Impact of Promotional Events and Routes of Access on OurDigitalWorld’s Digital Newspaper Collection
Authors: Luk Tiffany
Published: October 2019

A site traffic analysis study of 24 newspaper sites from OurDigitalWorld’s (ODW) digital newspaper collection and the Ontario Community Newspaper (OCN) aggregate site was completed between 2016 and 2018.  Digital newspapers provide access to past and current heritage news, vital statistics, and newspaper clippings.  Securing grants from government agencies is essential for local heritage organizations to launch, build, and maintain their digitization initiatives in order to ensure the continuity of local culture and heritage of the past to people of the future.  Thus, assessing the impact of (e.g. site usage, Web presence) and routes of Web access to digital newspaper collections is important to determine promotional strategies to increase usage and awareness of the collections.  Recommendations were made for ODW, public libraries, and heritage organizations to increase the Web presence and awareness of ODW’s digital newspaper collection and to educate users about the various uses of the newspaper sites.

Bond Strength Comparison of Orthodontic Bonding Systems: A Systematic Review
Authors: Hassan Tubayesha , Sattar MH
Published: October 2019

As a means of regular practice in orthodontics and aesthetic dentistry, resin based adhesive systems are being used exclusively. Keeping up with the ever-increasing demand for aesthetic dental treatment all over the world, newer and more improved adhesive systems have been developed. However, regarding the comparison as to which bonding system performs better in clinical perspective, there is lack of existing scientific review articles. In this review, we tend to explore the conventional etch and rinse bonding system and the self-etch primer bonding system. The different tests to assess and compare bond strength between these two types of adhesives from various bibliography are discussed. The results of shear bond strength test, adhesive remnant index (ARI), enamel-adhesive interface using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the effect of saliva contamination and time are discussed. Interestingly, each system has its strengths and weaknesses. In shear bond strength, self-etch bonding systems clearly exhibits less strength than conventional bonding systems. Resin tags into enamel surface are shorter in self-etch primer adhesives which results from milder etching to enamel compared to the conventional aid-etch and rinse adhesives. Contrarily, the irreversible changes to enamel surface is more aggressive in conventional acid-etching which states that self-etching systems are better according to the principles of minimal intervention dentistry.

Published: October 2019

[Title: Moving Average Filter for Time Lapse Gravity Anomaly Separation]. Interpretation of time-lapse gravity anomaly due to fluid injection in the reservoir is difficult when it mixed with shallow source anomalies. To solve the kind of problem, anomaly separation is performed with the method of Moving Average Filter. This study was conducted to obtain an effective method to separate the gravity anomaly of shallow sources on time-lapse gravity anomaly. Trials are conducted on anomaly models derived from reservoirs with three distinct depths that are 300, 600 and 900 meters. This forward model is then mixed with gravitational anomaly from the shallow source obtained from the field data. The mixed anomaly is then separated by a Moving Average filter. Results show that Moving Average filters can separate the shallow effect from the deep source anomaly and are effective up to a depth of 900 meters. The research is also beneficial for classroom learning in the computer programming class based on Matlab.
