The present study optimized the extraction process of bioactive compounds present in ginger (Zingiber officinale) dried at 80 °C, using ethanol:water 70:30 (v/v) as solvent. The extracts were evaluated for antioxidant activity by the 2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical reduction methods and by the chelating activity of FeII ions. It was found that the extraction condition with a temperature of 60 °C and an extraction time of 12 h showed better responses to the tests. Then, the characterization of the compounds was carried out by mass spectrometry and thermal analysis (thermogravimetric (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)), identifying that the main compounds of ginger were gingerols and shogaols, being confirmed by the intensities and characteristics of the thermal graphs. The inhibition of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was evaluated using the Ellman test, which did not show an inhibitory action. Regarding cytotoxic activity, the free extract and encapsulated in liposomes were tested, showing antiproliferative effect at different concentrations for human kidney tumor cells (786-0), liver cells (HUH7.5), and Macaca mullata normal kidney cells (LLC-MK2). Given the results obtained, ginger presents itself as a renewable source of bioactive compounds and can be indicated for applications in the pharmaceutical industry
Tipos de actividad cognitiva y grado de pensamiento espacial en estudiantes de grado noveno al representar poliedros
Authors: Sánchez Barrera Yudy Yasmín , Peña Garzón Laura Givelly
Published: November 2023

El pensamiento espacial es uno de los ejes centrales del estudio de la geometría, la cual ocupa un lugar importante en los planes de estudio en los diferentes niveles educativos. Este trabajo determina los tipos de actividad cognitiva y el grado de pensamiento espacial de un grupo de estudiantes de grado noveno al experimentar con representaciones semióticas de poliedros. Adicionalmente, se contrastaron las definiciones de prisma y pirámide en dos grupos de estudiantes, analizando los libros y sitios web de mayor consulta por ellos. Se utilizó un enfoque de investigación mixto, con un diseño preexperimental apoyado en un análisis descriptivo y correlacional, sustentado en la teoría de las representaciones semióticas de Duval. Se determinaron dificultades en el uso del lenguaje verbal al describir poliedros y un bajo nivel de pensamiento espacial para transformar una figura 3D. Se evidenció que no hay diferencia significativa en las concepciones deficientes dadas por los dos grupos de estudiantes. Se atribuyó parte de las dificultades a los errores y la forma de presentar la temática de poliedros en libros y sitios web, y se plantea la necesidad de diseñar ambientes en los que no se priorice la comprensión de poliedros a través de la definición.
Desarrollo de escritura inicial en tiempos de pandemia: una experiencia en el grado transición a partir de situaciones comunicativas reales
Authors: Meza Uribe Diana Lizeth , Cerchiaro Ceballos Elda
Published: November 2023

Se presentan los resultados de un estudio de intervención pedagógica mediante el cual se propusieron secuencias didácticas para promover el desarrollo de competencias escriturales en un grupo de niños de grado transición desde una perspectiva psicogenética y socioconstructivista. Se hace una descripción del proceso en términos de aspectos motivacionales identificados y del cambio que se registra en los niveles de construcción del lenguaje escrito en los niños a partir del análisis de sus producciones escritas realizadas antes y después de finalizada la propuesta, así como en la valoración que los padres de familia hacen de esta intervención. Los resultados indican evolución en la construcción de hipótesis de escritura en los niños, tal como lo reflejan los avances en los niveles de construcción del lenguaje escrito inicial A y B, que implican expresiones no convencionales de la escritura, hasta niveles C y D, en los que hacen uso del sistema escrito convencional. Estos hallazgos permiten concluir que la enseñanza de los procesos de escritura debe partir de las hipótesis que el niño construye de manera particular y previa a su escritura formal, las cuales surgen de su interacción social en situaciones comunicativas reales.

Authors: Sahoo Tanmoy , Reddy Basi V. Subba
Published: November 2023

Molnupiravir is one of the simple orally active antiviral drugs, sold under the
brand name Lagevrio. Initially, this drug was used to treat the influenza virus but later on,
used against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This is the
first orally active and direct-acting antiviral drug and is highly effective against SARS-CoV-
2. In this review, we discuss different synthetic strategies for the synthesis of molnupiravir,
which will help for the further development of novel routes.

Authors: Lewis Erin D. , Crowley David C. , Hamilton Debby , Guthrie Najla , Evans Malkanthi
Published: November 2023

Background::

An open-label, exploratory study has been conducted to investigate the ef-ficacy of BDNF Essentials® for cognitive function and neurological health.

Methods::

Twenty healthy adults ≥45 years of age, with a score ≥24 on the Mini-Mental State Ex-amination (MMSE-2) and self-reported memory complaints were supplemented with BDNF Es-sentials® for 84 days. Computerized Mental Performance Assessment System (COMPASS) tests for memory, attention, and processing speed were conducted, and change in plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), Profile of Mood States (POMS), the Healthy People Sleep Quality Index (HPSQI), perceived stress scale (PSS), and salivary cortisol, interleukin (IL)-6, and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were assessed at baseline and days 28, 56, and 84.

Results::

Supplementation with BDNF Essentials® significantly increased COMPASS tests for memory, attention, and processing speed (all P<0.05). Salivary cortisol was found to be signifi-cantly decreased at days 56 and 84, and IL-6 at day 84 (P<0.05). A reduction in depression-dejection at day 56 and in confusion-bewilderment at day 84, and an improvement in sleep satis-faction at day 56 (all p<0.05) were reported.

Conclusion::

BDNF Essentials® improved reaction time in measures of working memory, episodic memory, and attention, reduced biomarkers of stress and inflammation, and improved mood and sleep. BDNF Essentials® has been found to be safe and well-tolerated in adults with self-reported memory complaints.

RESUMO

Buscamos analisar, neste texto, narrativas de jovens autistas sobre as dimensões do gênero e da sexualidade na exibição do podcast Introvertendo. De modo mais específico, interessa-nos problematizar experiências afetivas e sexuais vivenciadas pelos jovens produtores do referido podcast. Para tanto, em uma abordagem pós-estruturalista, apoiamo-nos nos campos teóricos nos Estudos Culturais em Educação, nos Estudos de Gênero e Sexualidade e Estudos sobre Juventudes. Como metodologia, utilizamos a netnografia, analisando os episódios que tinham como tema central relacionamentos e experiências afetivas sexuais dos produtores do podcast, os quais identificam-se como sujeitos com TEA (transtorno do espectro autista). Como resultados, destacamos que, apesar da invisibilidade do tema, o podcast em questão atua como uma pedagogia cultural, (re)educando jovens autistas em inúmeras dimensões e, entre essas, o gênero e a sexualidade, fazem-se presentes.

“Jesus Cristo era gay?” É com essa questão provocativa, nascida de uma reunião de um grupo gay, em que se definiam as temáticas que iriam ser discutidas, que queremos problematizar como história, memória, experiência, discursos e identidades se relacionam com a constituição dos grupos e com a construção dos sentidos de homossexualidade e homossexual. Como esses grupos estão contribuindo para fortalecer a articulação entre discursos, saberes e poder na constituição dos membros como homossexuais? Tal questão nos aproxima das perspectivas pós-estruturalista e foucaultiana dos Estudos Culturais, o que significa dizer que o interesse de investigação e de análise estará focado nos discursos e práticas que constituem os sujeitos e nas negociações estabelecidas entre os grupos.
The Usefulness of Web-Based Communication Data for Social Network Health Interventions: Agent-Based Modeling Study
Authors: Blok David J , Simoski Bojan , van Woudenberg Thabo J , Buijzen Moniek
Published: November 2023

Background

Social network interventions are an effective approach to promote physical activity. These interventions are traditionally designed using self-reported peer nomination network data to represent social connections. However, there is unexplored potential in communication data exchanged through web-based messaging apps or social platforms, given the availability of these data, the developments in artificial intelligence to analyze these data, and the shift of personal communication to the web sphere. The implications of using web-based versus offline social networks on the effectiveness of social network interventions remain largely unexplored.

Objective

This study aims to investigate the differences in the impact of social network interventions on physical activity levels (PALs) between networks derived from web-based communication and peer nomination data.

Methods

We used the data on sociometric questionnaires, messages from a web-based communication app, and PAL (number of steps per day) of 408 participants in 21 school classes. We applied social network analysis to identify influential peers and agent-based modeling to simulate the diffusion of PAL and explore the impact of social network interventions on PAL among adolescents in school classes. Influential peers (n=63) were selected based on centrality measures (ie, in-degree, closeness, and betweenness) to spread the intervention. They received health education, which increased their PAL by 17%. In sensitivity analyses, we tested the impact of a 5%, 10%, and 20% increase in PAL among influential peers.

Results

There was a 24%-27% overlap in selected influential peers between the 2 network representations. In general, the simulations showed that interventions could increase PAL by 5.0%-5.8% within 2 months. However, the predicted median impact on PAL was slightly higher in networks based on web-based communication data than peer nomination data for in-degree (5.7%, IQR 5.5%-6.1% vs 5.5%, IQR 5.2%-5.8%; P=.002), betweenness (5.6%, IQR 5.4%-5.9% vs 5.0%, IQR 4.7%-5.3%; P<.001), and closeness centrality (5.8%, IQR 5.6%-6.1% vs 5.3%, IQR 5.0%-5.6%; P<.001). A large variation in impact was observed between school classes (range 1.5%-17.5%). Lowering the effectiveness of health education from 17% to 5% would reduce the overall impact of the social network intervention by 3-fold in both networks.

Conclusions

Our findings showed that network interventions based on web-based communication data could increase PAL. Web-based communication data may therefore be a valuable addition to peer nomination data for future social network intervention design. Artificial intelligence methods, including agent-based modeling, can help to design these network interventions and provide insights into the role of network characteristics in their effectiveness.
The Relationship Between Cognitive Resource Consumption During Gameplay and Postgame Aggressive Behaviors: Between-Subjects Experiment
Authors: Teng Huina , Zhu Lixin , Zhang Xuanyu , Qiu Boyu
Published: November 2023

Background

The question of how video games can shape aggressive behaviors has been a focus for many researchers. Previous research has focused on how violent video game content leads to postgame aggressive behaviors. However, video games not only convey violence or prosocial content to players but also require cognitive effort from individuals. Since human cognitive resources are limited, consuming more cognitive resources in a game leads to less cognitive resources to suppress aggressive impulses. Therefore, the depletion of cognitive resources from playing video games may also lead to changes in postgame aggressive behaviors.

Objective

This study aimed to examine the relationship between cognitive resources consumed in video games and postgame aggressive behaviors.

Methods

A total of 60 participants (age: mean 20.22; range 18-24 y) were randomly assigned to either the high-load group or the low-load group. Participants from both groups played a video game centered around college life. In the low-load group, participants followed the gameplay instructions to complete it. In the high-load group, participants were given an extra digital memory task to complete while playing the game. Participants in both groups played the video game for about 25 minutes. A maze selection task was then conducted to measure the participants’ helping and hurting behaviors.

Results

The independent samples 2-tailed t tests showed that the high-load group had significantly higher hurting scores (mean 3.13, SD 2.47) than the low-load group (mean 1.90, SD 2.12; t58=−2.07, P=.04; Cohen d=−0.535), whereas helping behaviors were not significantly affected (t58=1.52, P=.13; Cohen d=0.393).

Conclusions

As more cognitive resources are consumed in a video game, more hurting behaviors are exhibited after the game. This finding proposes an alternative route by which video games impact aggressive behaviors, adding to previous theories and raising concerns about the popularity of cognitive training games.
A Mobile Health App for Facilitating Disease Management in Children With Atopic Dermatitis: Feasibility and Impact Study
Authors: Zvulunov Alex , Lenevich Stepan , Migacheva Natalia
Published: November 2023

Background

Inadequate control of atopic dermatitis (AD) increases the frequency of exacerbations and reduces the quality of life. Mobile health apps provide information and communication technology and may increase treatment adherence and facilitate disease management at home. The mobile health app, Atopic App, designed for patients and their caregivers, and the associated web-based patient education program, Atopic School, provide an opportunity for improving patients’ and caregivers’ engagement and adherence to the management of AD.

Objective

This noninterventional, observational study aimed to explore the feasibility and potential impact on the management of AD in children by caregivers using the Atopic App mobile health app.

Methods

The patient-oriented eczema measure (POEM) and numerical rating scale for the grading of pruritus were used as severity scores (scale range: 0-28). The artificial intelligence model of the app was used to assess the severity of AD based on the eczema area and severity index approach. The deidentified data enabled the analysis of the severity of AD, treatment plan history, potential triggers of flare-ups, usage of available features of the app, and the impact of patient education.

Results

During a 12-month period, of the 1223 users who installed the app, 910 (74.4%) registered users were caregivers of children with AD. The web-based Atopic School course was accessed by 266 (29.2%) caregivers of children with AD, 134 (50.4%) of whom completed the course. Usage of the app was significantly more frequent among those who completed the Atopic School program than among those who did not access or did not complete the course (P<.001). Users who completed a second POEM 21 to 27 days apart exhibited a significant improvement of AD severity based on the POEM score (P<.001), with an average improvement of 3.86 (SD 6.85) points. The artificial intelligence severity score and itching score were highly correlated with the POEM score (r=0.35 and r=0.52, respectively).

Conclusions

The Atopic App provides valuable real-world data on the epidemiology, severity dynamics, treatment patterns, and exacerbation-trigger correlations in patients with AD. The significant reduction in the POEM score among users of the Atopic App indicates a potential impact of this tool on health care engagement by caregivers of children with AD.
Towards a Knowledge Sharing Maturity Model for medical imaging departments (Preprint)
Authors: Almashmoum Maryam , Cunningham James , Ainsworth John
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Knowledge sharing in medical imaging departments is being driven by the need to improve healthcare services, develop healthcare professionals' skills, and reduce repetitive mistakes. It is considered an important step in the implementation of knowledge management solutions. By following a maturity model of knowledge sharing, knowledge sharing practices can be improved. The aim of this study was to develop a maturity model knowledge sharing in medical imaging department for helping managers to assess the level of maturity for knowledge sharing practices.

OBJECTIVE

In the modern healthcare institutions, improvements in healthcare professionals’ skills and healthcare services are often driven through practicing knowledge sharing behaviours. To understand the level of maturity of knowledge sharing, mangers can follow the indicators of maturity model knowledge sharing and its measurements in order to identify the current level and move to the next level.

METHODS

This study was conducted in three stages: An ‘overview stage’ which highlighted the factors that affect knowledge sharing practices in medical imaging departments; an ‘Analysis factor stage’ which was designed to assess the factors that affect knowledge sharing by using a concurrent mixed method approach’s (questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews) in two medical imaging departments; and ’Structuring maturity model knowledge sharing stage’, where a maturity model of knowledge sharing was developed based on the findings of the other stages.

RESULTS

The model presented in this study includes 17 indicators divided into 11 components. Those components derived from the findings of the questionnaires and semi-structured interviews that were applied in the medical imaging departments. It consists of five maturity levels: initial, aware, define, managed, and optimised. In each level were included measurements in order to help managers to assess the current level by answering to the measurement’s questions.

CONCLUSIONS

This maturity model of knowledge sharing in medical imaging departments allows managers and policy makers to measure the maturity level of knowledge sharing in those departments. Although the model has been applied to the medical imaging departments, it might easily be modified to apply it to other institutions.
Targeting Daily Positive Events to Improve Emotional and Functional Well-Being in Adults With Fibromyalgia: Insights From the LARKSPUR Randomized Controlled Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Ong Anthony , Wilcox Kenneth , Reid M Carrington , Wethington Elaine , Cintron Dakota , Addington Elizabeth , Goktas Selin , Moskowitz Judith
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and cognitive difficulties, affecting individuals across all age groups. Positive affect (PA) interventions have shown promise in enhancing emotional well-being and pain management in patients with diverse chronic pain conditions. However, the efficacy of internet-delivered PA interventions for individuals with fibromyalgia remains understudied.

OBJECTIVE

This randomized controlled trial investigated the efficacy of a web-based PA regulation intervention—Lessons in Affect Regulation to Keep Stress and Pain Under Control (LARKSPUR)—in enhancing emotional and functional well-being among adults with fibromyalgia syndrome.

METHODS

A total of 95 participants with fibromyalgia syndrome aged 50 years and older (89/95, 94% female) were randomized to one of two fully automated conditions: (1) LARKSPUR (n=49) or (2) emotion reporting/attention control (n=46). At the postintervention and 1-month follow-up time points, participants completed 7 consecutive, end-of-day, web-based reports capturing positive events (PE), pain, fatigue, PA, and negative affect.

RESULTS

Compared to control, LARKSPUR resulted in greater improvements in daily affective responsivity to PE at the postintervention time point, including greater reductions in negative affect (bL–bC=–0.06, 95% highest posterior density interval [HPD] –0.10 to –0.02) and increases in PA (bL–bC=0.10, 95% HPD 0.02-0.19). Furthermore, across the postintervention and 1-month follow-up time points, LARKSPUR led to greater reductions in pain (bL–bC=–0.20, 95% HPD –0.36 to –0.04) and fatigue (bL–bC=–0.24, 95% HPD –0.41 to –0.06) following PE.

CONCLUSIONS

This randomized controlled trial provides initial evidence that a web-based PA skills intervention can enhance emotional well-being and reduce pain and fatigue in aging adults with fibromyalgia.

Developments from the PSLRA: Beyond the Lead Plaintiff Provision in Financial Research
Authors: Haslem Bruce , Price Joshua A.
Published: November 2023

Since the passage of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act in 1995, a robust literature has analyzed the impact of the lead plaintiff provision, which made it more likely for institutional investors to take on the role of lead plaintiff. Recently, less investigated provisions in the PSLRA have had an increasingly relevant role in shareholder litigation, corporate governance, and how firms choose to go public. In this article, we review the law, finance, accounting, and economics literature to show how these other provisions have evolved over time, affecting the incentives for corporate disclosure, how firms go public, and corporate governance.
Characterizations of generalized Fuzzy γ∗-closed sets
Authors: Bhattacharya Baby , Das Birojit , Sree Anusha G. , Chakraborty Jayasree
Published: November 2023

Generalized fuzzy open sets are playing a vital role in the study of fuzzy topological space as well as that of fuzzy bitopological space since its inception. More often, it is reported that fuzzy closed sets are always included in the family of generalized fuzzy closed sets. Very recently, it has appeared that fuzzy γ∗ -open sets are incomparable with fuzzy open sets. This paper aims to present three different kinds of fuzzy generalized closed sets in the light of fuzzy γ∗ -open set and associated closure operators with the terminologies- generalized fuzzy γ∗ -closed set, γ∗ -generalized fuzzy closed set and γ∗ -generalized fuzzy γ∗-closed set and it is found that the relation between any two concepts is not necessarily linear. Also, the interrelationships among them are established along with suitable counter examples which are properly placed to make the paper self-sufficient.

Distance in plithogenic product fuzzy graphs
Authors: Bharathi T. , Leo S.
Published: November 2023

The notions of distance and central concepts are crucial in any fuzzy network. In this study, we newly introduce Plithogenic μ-distance and Plithogenic geodesic distance in Plithogenic product fuzzy graphs (PPFGs), which are multi-attribute graphical representations. Using these metrics, central concepts such as eccentricity, radius, diameter, Plithogenic μ-centre and Plithogenic geodesic centre in PPFGs are newly discussed. An investigation is also made to study the relation between these concepts with an application in traffic management.

How to draw the graphs of the Exponential, Logistic, and Gaussian functions with pencil and ruler in an accurate way
Authors: Torres Naranjo Ricardo , Castillo Samuel , Pinto Manuel
Published: November 2023

In this work, we will give a novel method to construct a continuous approximation of the Exponential, Logistic, and Gaussian functions that allow us to do a handmade drawing of their graphs for which there is no accuracy of drawing at elementary levels (even at advanced ones!). This method arises from solving the elementary ordinary differential equation x0 (t) = ax(t) combined with a suitable piecewise constant argument. The proposed approximation will allow us to generate several numerical schemes in an elementary way, generalizing the classical ones as, Euler’s schemes. No sophisticated mathematical tools are needed.
Cuando el soñar despierto nos separa de la realidad
Authors: Rosario Pelayo José Luis
Published: November 2023

La realidad es uno de los conceptos más complejos a los que el ser humano se puede enfrentar. Generalmente, al describir la realidad lo hacemos con base en lo que perciben nuestros sentidos. Aquello que podemos ver, tocar, escuchar, probar y oler es, en esencia, real. El problema surge cuando por mucho que nuestros sentidos estén registrando información, no existe un ancla con la realidad, no la concebimos como nuestra. La desrealización-despersonalización es un trastorno disociativo por el que llegamos a sentirnos separados de nosotros mismos y de nuestro entorno. En este breve ensayo nos dispondremos a reflexionar sobre este fenómeno. Asimismo, arribamos a una conclusión: sea cual sea el trastorno que nos aqueje, debemos buscar el apoyo de las y los profesionales de la salud.
La importancia de la psicooncología como parte integral del tratamiento en oncología
Authors: Galindo Vázquez Oscar , Flores Constantino Mariana , Hernández Marín Jazmín , Costas Muñiz Rosario
Published: November 2023

Recibir un diagnóstico de cáncer genera múltiples reacciones en el paciente, siendo una de las más predominantes el malestar emocional. Por lo cual, se requiere de un proceso de adaptación que posibilite un ajuste adecuado a la enfermedad, su tratamiento y los efectos secundarios. En este sentido, el cuidado de las personas con cáncer debe integrar los aspectos físicos, emocionales, sociales y espirituales con la finalidad de mejorar su calidad de vida y la de su familia. La psicooncología es el área de conocimiento que tiene el objetivo de brindar atención clínica y desarrollar investigación sobre los aspectos psicológicos, sociales y espirituales a lo largo del proceso de salud-enfermedad en el contexto del cáncer, abarcando distintas etapas clave de la enfermedad, como lo son: la prevención, diagnóstico, tratamiento, periodo de sobrevida y el final de la vida de los pacientes con cáncer, su familia y el equipo de salud. Dicha atención se brinda mediante instrumentos de tamizaje e intervenciones psicológicas diseñadas y probadas para este fin, basadas en evidencia científica.

Caminos de los textos en diseño
Authors: Salazar González Guadalupe , Lozano de Poo Juan Manuel
Published: November 2023

La reflexión y la crítica de los fenómenos relacionados con las disciplinas propias del diseño del hábitat emanan del trabajo de la investigación. La labor del arquitecto y del diseñador debe trascender la comunicación gráfica y oral de ideas de diseño para escribir sobre ellas, en mayor medida cuando implica producir y transmitir conocimiento. Escribir requiere rigor si se desea generar textos de calidad que renueven el lenguaje de la arquitectura y del diseño. Es fundamental que todo escrito de estas disciplinas rebase los puntos de vista y el nivel descriptivo para realizar textos teóricos y de investigación en la generación de nuevo conocimiento. Por ello, hay que aprender a investigar-escribir y producir las propias estrategias de investigación y de estructuración de los discursos que comuniquen las ideas y sus resultados, para que las disciplinas del diseño del hábitat sean reconocidas como un área de conocimiento.

Cartografía: un proceso creativo, descriptivo y crítico
Authors: Nurko Ricardo , Daou Daniel
Published: November 2023

Los procesos de representación y el estudio de mapas y espacios se han modificado en la actualidad con la llegada de herramientas como las imágenes satelitales y los programas de renderizado. Vivimos en un mundo desbordado en imágenes de los lugares, lo cual lleva a que reconozcamos más los lugares a través de estas representaciones que por la experiencia. Al respecto del mapeo, necesario para la arquitectura, existen metodologías como la de James Corner o la descrita por Guy Debord, que proponen maneras para desarrollar e involucrar la cartografía en los procesos de diseño. Ante la crisis de la cartografía tradicional existe una necesidad de conocer el territorio a partir de las experiencias con el mismo, la realización de mapas participativos lleva a un entendimiento del territorio de una manera más crítica y con sentido político. La cartografía resulta una herramienta esencial para el diseño si éste se propone construir desde las narrativas otros mundos posibles, libres de las desigualdades e inequidades del actual.

Pseudotumor inflamatorio ocular asociado a IgG4. Reporte de un caso
Authors: Aguilar Jaramillo Andrés Manuel , Solana Hernández José Martin , Gavilanes Salazar Gabriela Margarita , de León Trenado Denise Gabriela , Cruz  Benítez Luis
Published: November 2023

IgG4-associated ocular inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare, non-neoplastic inflammatory process with an incidence of 0.28-1.08 per 100,000 people. The diagnosis of this pathology is one of exclusion, having to meet histopathological criteria, enlargement of a specific organ, and serious concentrations of IgG4. Treatment aims to avoid secondary complications. Clinical case: A 54-year-old woman with no previous re-ported pathologies, reports that for the past 6 months she has itching at the level of the eyeball and the left eyelid, suddenly and without apparent cause, in addition to decreased visual acuity and retro-ocular pain; this is why she asked for the evaluation. The physical examination revealed normal eye movements, left proptosis, pain on palpation, subconjunctival hyperemia, corneal opacity, absence of red reflex, and the left eye being more resistant to pressure in relation to the contralateral eye. The cranio-thoraco-abdominal tomography reported images at the left ocular level that were suggestive of choroidal melanoma without findings of metastatic activity. Enucleation of the left eye was performed. The specimen was sent to pathology which reported diffuse lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate positive for IgG4. Conclusion: Ocular IgG4 disease is a very rare pathology with non-specific symptoms and complex diagnosis. However, a quick and correct approach is essential to avoid complications.

Abstract: Machine learning has become a potent tool in healthcare, and study on its effects on women's health is becoming more and more essential. The current situation of women's health and healthcare inequities for women, particularly those from marginalized populations, are discussed in this study. It demonstrates how breast cancer detection, pregnancy problems prediction, and improved access to reproductive healthcare can all be done using machine learning to enhance women's health outcomes. The first section of the article discusses the current situation of women's health and healthcare inequities, including differences in the results of maternal healthcare for women of colour and restricted access to reproductive healthcare. The review of machine learning and its ability to correct these inequalities follows. In particular, it covers the application of machine learning to forecast pregnancy problems, such preterm birth and pre-eclampsia, which disproportionately impact women of colour.
A Child Rights Perspective on Babies Behind Bars: An analysis of two different narratives and their outcomes
Authors: Letkeman Kristen
Published: November 2023

Abstract:

This comic represents two narrative outcomes of the Mother-Child Program for Federally Incarcerated Women in Canada resulting in child rights concerns for this growing population of children. The Mother-Child Program has stringent policies related to corresponding documents that those who are wanting to participate in the Mother-Child Program must adhere to. Those who are requesting the Mother-Child Program rely on other service providers to submit their paperwork within tight timeframes, in order to be considered. The comic illustration represents the detrimental result of the failure of a social worker not presenting their mandatory documents in the time frame allowed, which denies the applicants submission to the Mother-Child Program. The stringent policies of the Mother-Child Program and its' consequences are outlined throughout the adverse childhood effects that parental incarceration has on a child and the difficulties those incarcerated face in maintaining a strong attachment to their child due to policy barriers. The lack of sense of identity and belonging for this population of children is reflected in the narratives of the comic and growing discrimination for this population of children is evidenced through the analysis that follows the comic illustration.

The second comic represents a mother and child who are accepted into the Mother-Child Program and the positive effects that the Mother-Child Program has on the bond within mother and child. It is important to note that the Mother-Child Program is a voluntary program for applicants and for some mothers, who meet the criteria, a suitable program. Not all mothers are given this program as an option due to the various natures of criminal charges. The intent of this comic is to represent the difficulties that policy barriers place on those wishing to access a program that they are suitable for and the devastating consequences when an application is denied due to policy implementation. The narratives included in this comic are assumed conversations reflecting the evidence of positive outcomes for those who experienced the Mother-Child program as well as the negative consequences of those who are denied access to the program through literature review. The calls to action and advocacy required for this group of children falling into systemic invisibility due to the inaction of systemic government programs are direct violations of children’s rights. In order for a better world fit for children, action, advocacy and systemic change are required to address the injustices this group of children face.

This research aimed to determine the percentage of protective antibody titers of Avian influenza (AI) and the application of biosecurity in Filipino chicken farms in Gorontalo City. This research used direct observation of the application of biosecurity on farms, and data on Avian influenza antibody titers were obtained based on the results of tests conducted during the intership at Class II Agricultural Quarantine Center of Gorontalo. Data analysis was carried out ini a qualitative descriptive manner. The results showed that the percentage of protective antibody titers for Avian influenza (AI) in the 3 Filipino chicken farms was 3.22% in farm ZD, 0% in farm MCY, and 0% in farm AT. The percentage obtained shows that the presence and spread of Avian influenza in the 3 Filipino chicken farms in Gorontalo City is still low. The application of biosecurity on farms shows that the 3 Filipino chicken farms in Gorontalo City were focused on isolation and sanitation, although the implementation was still lacking in detail and comprehensiveness. The focus of biosecurity on isolation and sanitation components causes weaknesses in traffic control components.

Actinobacteria are gram-positive bacteria that can produce primary metabolites in the form of enzymes, one of which is the chitinase enzyme. Chitinase is an enzyme that has the ability to degrade chitin which is the main structure in the cell wall of plant pathogenic fungi. One of the Actinobacteria that have the ability to produce enzymes can be obtained from the soil of the PTPN VI Muaro Jambi oil palm plantation which can be used as a biocontrol agent for plant pathogenic fungi, namely Ganoderma boninense. The purpose of this study was to determine the magnitude of the activity of the chitinase enzyme Actinobacteria and to determine the magnitude of the inhibitory activity of the enzyme chitinase Actinobacteria against Ganoderma boninense. This research was conducted with a quantitative descriptive method. The results showed that one isolate of Actinobacteria (SP1) had enzyme activity (Crude Extract Enzyme (EEK) and concentrated chitinase enzyme). The activity of the chitinase enzyme was higher at 0.0296 U/mL compared to the EEK activity of 0.0288 U/mL. The inhibitory power using the concentrated chitinase enzyme also had a higher value, namely 57.3% compared to the inhibitory power using EEK, which was 56.6%.
