Sancta obedientia
Authors: Sarnowsky Jürgen
Published: January 2023

Gehorsam gehört zu den drei monastischen Gelübden, die für alle monastischen Institutionen zentral waren. Daher wurde er auch mit dem Hinweis auf den Gehorsam Christi gegenüber Gottvater propagiert und mit dem Attribut der Heiligkeit versehen. Das gilt nicht zuletzt für die geistlichen Ritterorden, deren komplexe Aufgaben es notwendig machten, dass die Befehle der Oberen auch eingehalten wurden. Der Begriff erscheint so vielfach in der internen Korrespondenz, bei der Übergabe von Ämtern wie auch bei den Hinweisen auf die Gründiungsaufgaben der Orden.

Allerdings gab es auch Grenzen für den geforderten Gehorsam. So bestimmten die Stabilimenta der Johanniter, dass die Befehle der Meister nur befolgt werden durften, wenn sie nicht den Statuten zuwiderliefen, wie dies im Fall der gerade erst gewählten Meisters Guillaume de Villaret deutlich wird. Aber auch allgemein bot der Einfluss der höhergestellten Brüder ein Gegengewicht zur Autorität der Meister, wie auch die Fälle des Rücktritts oder der Absetzung von Meistern zeigen. Gehorsam funktionierte somit in beiden Richtungen, zumal auch die Meister an die Statuten gebunden waren.

El volumen está integrado por dieciocho capítulos en los que se incorpora una selección actualizada de conocimientos esenciales acompañada de tablas de síntesis, así como de una extensa iconografía a color (esquemas, dibujos y fotografías) que estimula la lectura y facilita su comprensión. Destacan especialmente los relacionados con la biodiversidad, recursos, acuicultura, arrecifes artificiales, contaminación y ecotoxicología, bioindicadores y conservación del medio marino.
CURA GAUCHO, CURA SANTO, CURA DE LAS SIERRAS… JOSÉ GABRIEL BROCHERO EN UN VALLE CORDOBÉS (ARGENTINA, FINES DEL SIGLO XIX Y PRINCIPIOS DEL XX).
Authors: Barral Maria Elena
Published: January 2023

Este artículo estudia algunas formas de intervención social del clero durante el siglo XIX y, en particular, en la segunda mitad del mismo, cuando en determinadas figuras eclesiásticas coexistieron algunos rasgos del párroco colonial junto con los mandatos a los que debieron ajustarse en el proceso de construcción del Estado nacional. El sacerdocio del José Gabriel Brochero, canonizado en 2016, resulta adecuado para examinar la cohabitación de estos perfiles en su prolongado ejercicio de ministerio parroquial en una región del interior de la Argentina.
VÍNCULOS, ESTRATEGIAS Y PRÁCTICAS POLÍTICAS. SUBDELEGADOS Y CACIQUES EN LA SUBDELEGACIÓN DE TECALI, INTENDENCIA DE PUEBLA.
Authors: Gómez García Lidia Ernestina
Published: January 2023

Este artículo analiza las prácticas políticas de los caciques de Santiago Tecali, por ser un caso excepcional, para comprender cómo adaptaron sus estrategias y prácticas políticas en el caso de cacicazgos que mantuvieron sus privilegios de terrazgueros desde la fundación del pueblo y establecimiento de alcaldía mayor, pasaron por los cambios a subdelegación, hasta el final del periodo novohispano. El sistema de poder de los caciques no radicó necesariamente en propiedades vinculadas en cacicazgos, sino en sus redes y prácticas políticas, tales como el vínculo con la corona (que les otorgó privilegios), con los caciques de otros pueblos aledaños, el financiamiento del culto divino y pago de tributo.

Published: January 2023

A 32-year-old woman presented to the outpatient clinic with persistent fever, anterior neck pain, and palpitations over the past week which developed 2 days after she had received the first dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine. On examination, the patient’s heart rate was 140 beats per minute and the thyroid gland was tender on palpation. Laboratory studies showed a low serum TSH level with elevated free thyroxine. Thyroid ultrasound revealed low-echoic lesions compatible with the site of tenderness. The patient was diagnosed with subacute thyroiditis and treatment was initiated with acetaminophen and propranolol, which resulted in symptom resolution within 2 weeks. Clinicians should be aware that subacute thyroiditis may occur within a few days following COVID-19 vaccination, especially in patients with anterior cervical pain with no significant abnormal pharyngeal findings and/or severe palpitations, because differentiating them from early non-specific adverse reactions can be challenging.

Teaching speaking in the times of zoom: Striving to maintain a good level of oral interaction between students in the Spanish as a foreign language classroom
Authors: De Nicolás Irati , Sande Piñeiro Ariane
Published: January 2023

Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, educational institutions all over the world were forced to make the executive decision of quickly and effectively transferring face-to-face classes into an online format. Issues such as technical difficulties, varying degrees of digital literacy within a given team of teachers or the question of how to preserve the essence of face-to-face classes in an online environment are among the many challenges that have affected and hindered the practice of instructors all over the world. With a focus on the teaching of Spanish as a Foreign Language (Español como Lengua Extranjera, ELE) and video-conferencing platforms such as the software known as Zoom, in this paper we discuss the importance of continuing the practice of teaching speaking in an online environment. Subsequently, we present a number of strategies that we have put into practice in our online ELE classrooms in order to try and maintain the same or very similar level of interaction between our students when compared to face-to-face classrooms.

The large-scale dissemination of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) and its serious complications have pledged the scientific research communities to uncover the pathogenesis mechanisms of its etiologic agent, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Methods of unveiling such mechanisms are rooted in understanding the viral agent’s interactions with the immune system, including its ability to activate macrophages, due to their suggested role in prolonged inflammatory phases and adverse immune responses. The objective of this study is to test the effect of SARS-CoV-2-free proteins on the metabolic and immune responses of macrophages. We hypothesized that SARS-CoV-2 proteins shed during the infection cycle may dynamically induce metabolic and immunologic alterations with an inflammatory impact on the infected host cells. It is imperative to delineate such alterations in the context of macrophages to gain insight into the pathogenesis of these highly infectious viruses and their associated complications and thus, expedite the vaccine and drug therapy advent in combat of viral infections. Human monocyte-derived macrophages were treated with SARS-CoV-2-free proteins at different concentrations. The phenotypic and metabolic alterations in macrophages were investigated and the subsequent metabolic pathways were analyzed. The obtained results indicated that SARS-CoV-2-free proteins induced concentration-dependent alterations in the metabolic and phenotypic profiles of macrophages. Several metabolic pathways were enriched following treatment, including vitamin K, propanoate, and the Warburg effect. These results indicate significant adverse effects driven by residual viral proteins that may hence be considered determinants of viral pathogenesis. These findings provide important insight as to the impact of SARS-CoV-2-free residual proteins on the host cells and suggest a potential new method of management during the infection and prior to vaccination.
Fruit based agroforestry systems - potential means for sustaining carbon sequestration, improving soil health and diet of community in red and lateritic zone of West Bengal, India
Authors: Das Pinakesh , Dhara Pratap Kumar , Panda Subhabrata
Published: January 2023

Fruit-based agroforestry systems (AFS) can assure food security towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and improvement in carbon sequestration, soil qualities of low-fertile degraded land. Those were revealed through observations on farmersâ€™ practices, literature reviews and results from different agroforestry arrangements of mango with gamhar and eucalyptus; and sweet orange with gamhar for two years (2017-18 to 2018-19) of alley cropping with pigeon pea, green gram, cowpea and toria in ongoing AF experiments at Regional Research Station (Red & Lateritic Zone), Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Jhargram, West Bengal, India. Total carbon stock as well as potential food energy production were higher in AFS than either in sole silvi tree, fruit tree or plots under alley crops, because of better performances of all tree and crop components in AFS. Mango with eucalyptus-based AFS gave higher carbon stock (62.33 t ha-1 yr-1) including improvement in degraded acidic soil pH (6.20%), SOC (11.86%), available N (9.09%), available P (13.97%), available K (11.64%) contents in soil. In that way, fruit-based agroforestry systems can be used as a viable alternative land use to improve soil health, diet and livelihood security even of resource-poor farm families throughout the year, especially during their impoverished needy times in a year.
Advanced spectral methods for computational homogenisation of periodic media
Authors:   , Ladecký Martin
Published: January 2023

Multiscale material modeling is one of the enabling fields for future industries. To fully exploit the opportunities of multiscale structures, multiscale modeling techniques must be accurate and accessible. This thesis focuses on iterative computational homogenization methods specialized for digitized microstructures, i.e. microstructures with geometries defined on regular grids. These so-called spectral methods exploit discrete Green’s operator preconditioning to maintain mesh-size independent iteration count and the fast Fourier transform to achieve nlog(n) computational complexity. This thesis focuses on three topics through a collection of five manuscripts. First, it discusses the effect of discrete Green’s operator preconditioning on the spectra of linear system matrices. The first and second chapters provide guaranteed, easily computable, two-sided bounds on individual eigenvalues. These bounds reveal the distribution of eigenvalues which helps to understand grid-size independence of spectral methods. Second, the thesis discusses the problem of ringing artifacts that pollute solution gradient fields of spectral methods. The third chapter provides a detailed description of the finite element discretization approach that eliminates ringing artifacts while keeping the efficiency of spectral methods. The fourth chapter then analyzes several discretizations to confirm that the finite elements deliver the solutions with the least discretization artifacts. Third, the thesis discusses the reduction of computational costs by using reduced-order modeling. The fifth chapter shows the potential and efficiency of low-rank tensor techniques in spectral methods for large-scale problems.
Studying of dominant factors influencing a shallow runoff formation at a small catchment scale
Authors:   , Jeřábek Jakub
Published: January 2023

Rapidly changing soil hydraulic properties, the presence of wheel tracks and the compacted layer in the shallow subsoil are phenomena formed in agricultural areas due to agrotechnical operations. While wheel tracks affect surface runoff routing, the compacted layer with its low permeability can contribute to hypodermic runoff formation. A conceptual model of the rainfall-runoff transformation was formulated. The model assumes fast passage of rainfall water through the topsoil to compacted subsoil where a shallow perched water table causes a rapid hypodermic runoff, while wheel tracks route the overland flow. Within this framework, the abrupt change in soil properties between the topsoil and subsoil and the wheel tracks are the first-order control of the runoff from such areas. Data showed that the topsoil is orders of magnitude more heterogeneous compared to the subsoil. Wheel tracks played an important role in surface runoff generation. A wheel track can increase or decrease surface runoff and sediment transport depending on its orientation. Furthermore, it was shown that rainfall and runoff flattened the soil surface microtopography regardless of the presence or orientation of the wheel track. Based on the numerical analysis, surface runoff is first generated on the wheel track due to infiltration excess followed by the saturation excess overland flow in the surrounding soil. Lateral subsurface flow occurred only if subsoil morphology was neglected. The subsoil morphology caused predominant flow in the depressions in the morphology, preventing the development of lateral flow. It was concluded that the wheel tracks affect the runoff from agricultural catchments and should be included in hydrological models, e.g. with the concept of functional connectivity. The compacted layers affect the subsurface runoff only locally; however, they can affect the distribution of nutrients and water in the shallow part of the soil profile.
Analysis of Concrete Structures after Fire
Authors:   , Müller Petr
Published: January 2023

The Doctoral Thesis is focused on analysis of concrete structures after fire. The topic of structural post-fire assessment is still very actual and situations when such assessment is the only way how to make informed decision about fire-damaged building occur. The Thesis brings both theoretical and practical findings to the investigation process after the end of fire and describes the approach step-by-step. At the same time, the Thesis deals only with reinforced concrete structures made of normal strengths concrete used in building constructions. At the beginning material properties of concrete and reinforcement steel at high temperatures and after cooling down are described in the state-of-art form. Then the investigation process is discussed in detail: preliminary and detail inspection of the subjected building with estimation of damage extent and severity, conducting on-site material tests, extracting samples for laboratory tests. One chapter is dedicated to the structural diagnosis with special attention to the nature of damage caused by fire. Another chapter deals with global action of fire and temperature-induced forces with respect to both directly and indirectly affected parts and mutual interaction. Chapter dedicated to estimation of residual load-bearing capacity ends the main part of the Thesis. Several worked examples of whole post-fire assessment are given in the annex. Special attention was dedicated to make the investigation and its conclusions organised, clear and easy-to-read.
Determinants of Failure to Thrive among Children Aged 6-24 Months
Authors: Utami Shinta , Laila Eka Fauzia
Published: January 2023

Background: Failure to thrive is still a common problem among children, especially in developing countries, and it is one of the risk factors for stunting. Factors that contribute to failure to thrive are medical conditions, nutrition, eating skills, and psychosocial characteristics. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of growth failure in children and the factors that influence failure to thrive in children aged 6-24 months who live in the working area of Cisaat Health Center.Method: This research uses a cross-sectional design to examine 125 respondents. The data were acquired from semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaires and were analyzed using logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of failure to thrive was 38.4% (48 children). The results of the multivariate analysis showed that children's age influences failure to thrive. In this case, the age of 6-15 months is the most vulnerable period (OR=3.4; 1.46-8.04), low education of mothers (OR=6.52; 2.77-15.30), sub-standard family income (OR=3.6; 1.67-7.78), low energy intake (OR=5.08; 2.33-11.10), low iron intake (OR=4.14; 1.88-9.129), and low zinc intake (OR=4.07; 1.89-8.75). The most dominant factor for failure to thrive in children is the mother's education level. Health personnel should routinely detect the incidence of failure to thrive health personnel so that the problem of failure to thrive in children can be identified early.
Clearing the air: A systematic review of mass media campaigns to increase indoor radon testing and remediation
Authors: Apers Sofie , Vandebosch Heidi , Perko Tanja
Published: January 2023

Indoor radon is a natural radioactive gas that enters homes through cracks in the foundations. It is one of the leading causes of lung cancer. Although radon can be detected with an indoor radon test and can be mitigated by means of either ventilation or professional measures, testing and mitigating rates of the at-risk population remain insufficient. The objective of this study is to systematically review the current level of evidence regarding the design and effectiveness of mass media campaigns to address the health risks of indoor radon to homeowners. The results show that informative tone of voices prevailed, other components, such as emotional or social components, were often not included. Furthermore, the focus was mostly on intention and less on behavior itself, and on testing instead of mitigation. Further research is needed to test effective and innovative communication strategies to increase protective behavior concerning indoor radon.
On Cauchy problem for pseudo-parabolic equation with Caputo-Fabrizio operator
Authors: Nghia Bui Dai , Nguyen Van Tien , Long Le Dinh
Published: January 2023

In this article, we considered the pseudo-parabolic equation with Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative. This equation has many applications in different fields, such as science, technology, and so on. In this article, we gave the formula of mild solution, which is represented in the form of Fourier series by some operators . In the linear case, we investigated the continuity of the mild solution with respect to the fractional order. For the nonlinear case, we investigated the existence and uniqueness of a global solution. The main proof technique is based on the Banach fixed point theorem combined with some Sobolev embeddings. For more detailed, we obtained two other interesting results: the continuity of mild solution with respect to the derivative order and the convergence of solution as the coefficient k approaches to zero.

Published: January 2023

The objective of this study was to systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy of the complementary use of corticosteroids in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). We searched all relevant documents in five scientific databases from inception to June 2022 to collect clinical trials (randomized controlled trials and controlled trials) reporting on the adjunctive use of corticosteroids in CAP treatment. The primary outcome was mortality, and secondary outcomes included the time to clinical stability, therapeutic efficacy, duration of antibiotic treatment and length of hospital/ICU stay. Therapeutic efficacy was defined as the rate of achieving clinical recovery with no fever, improvement or disappearance of cough. Clinical stability was defined by improvements in laboratory values. Two researchers independently screened the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data and evaluated the quality of literature. Statistical analysis and meta-analysis of intervention measures and indicators were performed with IBM SPSS and RevMan 5.4 software. Nine randomized controlled trials comprising 2673 participants with CAP (1335 in the corticosteroid group and 1338 in the control group) were identified and included in this study. The mean cumulative corticosteroid dose and treatment duration were 298.00±287.140 mg and 5.22±1.787 days, respectively. Corticosteroid treatment was not associated with a significant decrease in mortality (RR; 95% CI, 0.96 [0.67–1.38], P=0.83). Because of the low number of included patients in our study, more studies with larger sample sizes and high-quality randomized, double-blind controlled trials are needed to confirm the results.
Multimodal Brain Signal Complexity Predicts Human Intelligence
Authors: Thiele Jonas A. , Richter Aylin , Hilger Kirsten
Published: January 2023

Spontaneous brain activity builds the foundation for human cognitive processing during external demands. Neuroimaging studies based on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) identified specific characteristics of spontaneous (intrinsic) brain dynamics to be associated with individual differences in general cognitive ability, i.e., intelligence. However, fMRI research is inherently limited by low temporal resolution, thus, preventing conclusions about neural fluctuations within the range of milliseconds. Here, we used resting-state electroencephalographical (EEG) recordings from 144 healthy adults to test whether individual differences in intelligence (Raven’s Advanced Progressive Matrices scores) can be predicted from the complexity of temporally highly resolved intrinsic brain signals. We compared different operationalizations of brain signal complexity (multiscale entropy, Shannon entropy, Fuzzy entropy, and specific characteristics of microstates) regarding their relation to intelligence. The results indicate that associations between brain signal complexity measures and intelligence are of small effect sizes (r∼ 0.20) and vary across different spatial and temporal scales. Specifically, higher intelligence scores were associated with lower complexity in local aspects of neural processing, and less activity in task-negative brain regions belonging to the default-mode network. Finally, we combined multiple measures of brain signal complexity to show that individual intelligence scores can be significantly predicted with a multimodal model within the sample (10-fold cross-validation) as well as in an independent sample (external replication,N = 57). In sum, our results highlight the temporal and spatial dependency of associations between intelligence and intrinsic brain dynamics, proposing multimodal approaches as promising means for future neuroscientific research on complex human traits.
Pregled stradanja sakralne arhitekture katoličke crkve u Gospićko-senjskoj biskupiji u vrijeme Domovinskog rata

Javne skulpture i spomenici Gospića od 1990. do danas – interpretacija i valorizacija
Authors: Došen Antonia
Published: January 2023

U nastojanju da se obuhvate i valoriziraju skulpture i spomenička plastika na javnim prostorima naselja Gospić ovaj rad vremenski obuhvaća razdoblje od 1990. godine do danas. Kako grad Gospić u svojem sastavu ima 50 naselja, rad se bavi samo spomen-obilježjima i skulpturama naselja Gospić čija je najveća koncentracija, između ostalih, baš u najužem središtu grada – Trgu Alojzija Stepinca i parku Kolakovac. Unatoč tematski i tipološki različitim kiparskim radovima, njihovo umetanje u tkivo grada na svoj je način vezano za gospićki suvremeni život, njegovo društvo i politiku. Indikativan je utjecaj Domovinskog rata i drugih političkih, kao i društvenih okolnosti na podizanje, ali i uklanjanje skulptura i javnih spomenika na samom prijelazu iz 20. u 21. stoljeće. Kritički se promatra postavljanje recentnih umjetnički izvedenih spomen-obilježja u Gospiću, kao i analizira spomenički inventar iz spomenutog razdoblja. Nakon 2010. godine u gospićkom javnom prostoru javljaju se, uz mnogobrojna poprsja, i konceptualne skulpture, a rad se bavi i projektom povratka i postavljanja spomenika Nikoli Tesli kipara Frana Kršinića.
Vilinska i bapska toponimija i topografija Nacionalnog parka Paklenica i šire okolice

Published: January 2023

U radu se donosi prikaz toponima motiviranih prežitcima pretkršćanskih vjerovanja u južnom Podgorju prema pučkim narativima i recentnim pisanim izvorima. Svrha rada je prikazati one toponime, koje je u određenom povijesnom kontekstu imenovalo stočarsko stanovništvo Podgorja prema svojim tradicijskim vjerovanjima, kao značajnu prirodnu i kulturnu baštinu. Interpretacija se temelji na predajnim narativima prikupljenim terenskim istraživanjima i recentnim pisanim izvorima (filološkim, etnološko-antropološkim i povijesno-geografskim). Vilinska i bapska toponimija Nacionalnog parka i šire okolice prepoznatljiv je sloj prežitka staroslavenskih i starohrvatskih kozmogonijskih i drugih mitskih predodžbi na primjerima vila i baba, čije bi podrijetlo na južnom Velebitu moglo bitikasnosrednjovjekovnog postanja, premda nam arhivska građa, u prvom redu povijesna kartografija, ne nudi podatke o tome sve do 18. stoljeća. Ovim prilogom nastoji se produbiti i proširiti spoznaje o mitskoj toponimiji u određenom prostornom kontekstu južnog i jugoistočnog Velebita. Budući da do sada tema nije sustavno istraživana, neće biti moguće dati konačne odgovore i zaključke, neka pitanja ostat će otvorena za buduća istraživanja koja zahtijevaju interdisciplinarni pristup, osobito na onomastičkoj i etimologijskoj razini. U radu se interpretira pučka etimologija predajnih narativa i pučkih obrednih pjesama.

U tom su smislu u radu analizirane školske spomenice koje se čuvaju u Državnom arhivu u Gospiću i dijelu pismohrana škola koje su pod njegovom nadležnošću. Posebno je istaknuta zakonska regulativa o uvođenju i obvezi vođenja školskih spomenica u osnovnim školama. Prikazane su i opisane spomenice koje se čuvaju u fondovima školstva Državnog arhiva u Gospiću i pismohrani Osnovne škole dr. Jure Turić u Gospiću kao reprezentativnom primjeru sačuvanosti spomenica izvan Arhiva. Metodologijom istraživanja na malom uzorku djelomično su pregledani dosjei stvaratelja osnovnoškolskih ustanova Državnog arhiva u Gospiću i provedena je anketa u ustanovama za koje smo pretpostavljali da čuvaju spomenice koje imaju svojstvo javnog arhivskog gradiva.Slijedom navedenog, u radu se donose analizirani dobiveni podatci o sačuvanosti školskih spomenica ličkog i karlobaškog područja izvan Arhiva, podatci o ispunjavanju zakonske obveze vođenja školskih spomenica u osnovnim školama te današnjem obliku vođenja školskih spomenica s obzirom na to da je procesima globalizacije i napretka informatičke tehnologije pored analognog vođenja u obliku knjige zakonski otvorena mogućnost vođenja e-spomenica u digitalnom obliku.

Diabetes is a complex metabolic disease. In recent years, diabetes and its chronic complications have become a health hotspot of global concern. It is very important to find promising therapeutic targets and directions. Ferroptosis is a new type of programmed cell death that is different from cell necrosis, apoptosis, and autophagy. Ferroptosis is mainly characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. With the reduction of the anti-oxidative capacity of cells, the accumulated reactive lipid oxygen species will cause oxidative cell death and lead to ferroptosis at lethal levels. Recent studies have shown that ferroptosis plays an important regulatory role in the initiation and development of diabetes, as well as various complications of diabetes. In this review, we will summarize new findings related to ferroptosis and diabetic complications and propose ferroptosis as a potential target for treating diabetic complications.

The success rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF) remains limited in some women despite transfers of good quality embryos in repeated attempts. There is no reliable tool for assessing endometrial receptivity. This study aimed to assess the interaction between decidualized human primary endometrial stromal cells (1o-EnSC) and human embryonic stem cell derived trophoblastic spheroids (BAP-EB), and to compare the invasion ability of decidualized 1o-EnSC towards BAP-EB between women attaining livebirth in the first IVF cycle and those with repeated implantation failure (RIF). The invasion of the decidualized human endometrial cell line (T-HESC) and 1o-EnSC towards BAP-EB were studied. RT-qPCR and immunocytochemistry were employed to determine the expression of decidualization markers at mRNA and protein level, respectively. Trophoblast-like BAP-EB-96h, instead of early trophectoderm-like BAP-EB-48h, facilitated the invasion ability of decidualized T-HESC and decidualized 1o-EnSC. Human chorionic gonadotropin at supra-physiological levels promoted the invasiveness of decidualized 1o-EnSC. The extent of BAP-EB-96h-induced invasion was significantly stronger in decidualized 1o-EnSC from women who had a live birth in the first IVF cycle when compared to those with RIF. While no difference was found in the expression of decidualization markers, PRL and IGFBP1 among two groups of women, significantly lower HLA-B was detected in the non-decidualized and decidualized 1o-EnSC from women with RIF. Collectively, the findings suggested that the invasion of decidualized 1o-EnSC towards trophoblast-like BAP-EB-96h was higher in women who had a live birth in the first IVF cycle than those with RIF.

Various applications of oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) would be hindered by the presence of residual oil. This study aimed to remove and recover the residual oil from OPEFB using an integrated system, high pressure water spray system (HPWSS). The performance of the HPWSS was evaluated at different temperatures and water pressures, and the residual oil collected was recovered through water shaking method and tested for biodiesel application. A maximum of 84.9% of residual oil was removed by HPWSS at 60 °C and 8960 kPa and the highest residual oil recovery of 58.8% was observed at 95 °C, using power shaking 5 and 90% of dilution. The following ranges of deterioration of bleachability index (DOBI), free fatty acid (FFA), and peroxide value (PV) for the residual oil were 1.21 to 2.67, 7.11 to 10.4%, and 4.85 to 7.56, respectively. Biodiesel with different blends of recovered residual oil (5%, 10%, and 15%) showed lower values (9.87, 9.57, and 9.56 Nm) of brake torque as compared with diesel (10.89 Nm). Overall, this study showed the potential of HPWSS to obtain an acceptable quality of residual oil from OPEFB to be used in any value-added product generation.

Background and aim. Inappropriate use of antibiotics may increase antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among different microorganisms and may lead to treatment failure in neonatal septicemia. The aim of this study was to recognize the most common microorganisms responsible for neonatal sepsis and to evaluate the trend of change of resistance pattern among microorganisms.

Methods. This study was done retrospectively on 344 cases diagnosed with neonatal sepsis, including both early and late onset cases, admitted to the tertiary care teaching hospital of southern India from January 2012 to July 2017. Accordingly, 231 culture positive neonatal sepsis cases were collected from hospital data base and analyzed. Culture positive cases within 72 hours of life were termed as early onset while after 72 hours were late onset. Antibiotics utilization during the period was calculated using WHO AMC tool and reported as (DDD)/100 bed days.

Results. Klebsiella pneumoniae with 56 (21.8%) and Coagulase negative Staphylococcus with 52 (20.2%) cases were the most frequent isolated organisms which were responsible for 55.8% and 14.6% of deaths among the study subjects respectively. Amikacin (86.7%), vancomycin (52.3%) and ampicillin (40.6%) were the most used antibiotics in terms of DDD/100 bed days.

Conclusion. The results obtained from our study have brought substantial information on the antibiotic resistance pattern among microorganisms causing neonatal sepsis. Moreover, results obtained from this study can be used for designing antibiotic stewardship policies to prevent the emergence of resistance and to improve the treatment outcome.
Tianguis y ciudad: comercio, espacio público y criticalidad urbana en el noreste mexicano
Authors: Ramírez Ibarra Ramón
Published: January 2023

Una de las formas de análisis menos empleadas para el estudio politológico de la ciudadanía, proviene de la referencia a la cultura urbana. Por lo general, se vierten centenares de páginas en función de nociones fuertes como estado, nacionalidad, gobernabilidad con muy poca apertura hacia un contexto reflexivo de los tópicos políticos y su vinculación con prácticas concretas como la urbanidad. En tal perspectiva, hay pocos análisis centrados en la relación de la ciudad, entendida como espacio público y la ciudadanía como una condición de atribución o estatus que asigna deberes y derechos igualitarios a los individuos en un determinado territorio, una escala social indispensable en toda proyección urbana.  En el siguiente texto propongo una reflexión partiendo de la simetría analítica entre politología y expresión urbana en tanto forma de diálogo, cuyo fin es el ejercicio de la noción de espacio público como elemento estructurante de la experiencia del hacer ciudad a través de un elemento cotidiano, el tianguis, reconociendo los elementos de esta práctica en una de las mayores regiones metropolitanas de México, la Zona Metropolitana de Monterrey (ZMM).
Contexto de las políticas de acceso al suelo en Argentina: desafíos del Plan Nacional de Suelo Urbano
Authors: Barenboim Cintia Ariana , Aused José María , Vignolo Carlos Alfredo
Published: January 2023

Durante las últimas décadas en Argentina, la vivienda no tuvo un fin social sino financiero como resguardo de capital, por lo cual se construyó sin ningún tipo de planificación de la forma urbana, con desequilibrios socio-territoriales y desigual acceso a vivienda, infraestructuras, servicios y equipamientos. En este contexto, surgió≤ el Plan Nacional de Suelo Urbano (PNASU) que propuso la generación de suelo para vivienda producido o promovido por el Estado, para ampliar la accesibilidad de las familias y desalentar las prácticas especulativas, promoviendo ciudades compactas, equitativas y accesibles. A partir de los antecedentes nacionales y provinciales, este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el PNASU, en cuanto a su contenido y sus desafíos. La metodología se centra en el análisis de contenido de documentos escritos. Los resultados esbozan cuatro ejes argumentativos en torno a los desafíos del plan en su implementación y el impacto que podría tener sobre la planificación urbana y habitacional. En conclusión, si bien llena el vacío en políticas territoriales, deberá considerar la integración de la política habitacional con la territorial, el protagonismo de los actores locales, la construcción de instrumentos de captación de plusvalías en términos redistributivos, la función social de la tierra y la vivienda, entre otras.
