Arte, humor y juego: sus símbolos en el artista adulto y en el niño como armonizadores de nuestro conocimiento subjetivo y objetivo en la educación
Authors: León-Río Belén
Published: October 2022

Nuestro modelo educativo actual está aún basado en la razón y el pensamiento cognoscitivo ligado al enjuiciamiento y la competitividad frente a una enseñanza donde el humor y lo lúdico tengan mayor cabida. Mediante el juego con los materiales y técnicas se desarrolla la intuición y la fantasía del ser humano conectando con símbolos de totalidad que nos ayudan a tomar consciencia para percibir y reconocer nuestro entorno, siendo el arte un medio para establecer nuevas relaciones con este mundo y poder representarlo no sólo intelectualmente y de forma superficial y exterior sino buscando su verdadero significado.

En este artículo veremos como la experiencia lúdica integra no solo las necesidades expresivas y emocionales del niño sino también las del artista adulto, ya que mediante la subjetividad que se genera con el juego y la risa nos abriríamos a posibilidades más grandes de conocimiento y realización, despertando la intuición y la imaginación que son las potencias reales y promotoras de la experimentación y la creación.
Mensajes (anti)ambientalistas en producciones cinematográficas Disney. Una aproxi- mación artística para el tratamiento de la preservación del medio ambiente en la etapa de educación infantil
Authors: Monleón Oliva Vicente
Published: October 2022

Las imágenes constituyen uno de los medios más potentes a través de los cuales el lenguaje visual transmite unos mensajes que se asientan inconscientemente en la identidad de cada persona, tras una recepción pasiva y duradera de los mismos – especialmente en el colectivo infantil –. Un ejemplo de este impacto se encuentra en las producciones cinematográficas de animación Disney. Asimismo, se anota como problemática las situaciones humanas que deterioran el medioambiente y que repercuten indirectamente en contra de quienes las ejecutan. Aprovechando la importancia concedida a la educación en valores para la preservación de la naturaleza en la etapa de infantil, se propone analizar desde un posicionamiento ambientalista las producciones audiovisuales Disney, para ofrecer pinceladas a través de las cuales desarrollar actividades artísticas sobre el cuidado del medio ambiente en las aulas de Educación Infantil. También se compara dicha productora con su competencia oriental,Studio Ghibli.

Vegetação de restinga: condicionantes pedológicos e geomorfológicos em costa de alta energia (Florianópolis-SC)
Authors: Villaça Gomes Maria Carolina , Boeira Júnior Cláudio , Valdati Jairo , Pereira da Silva Matheus
Published: October 2022

O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir a interação solo-vegetação-morfodinâmica praial a fim de se compreender os fatores preponderantes na distribuição das fisionomias da vegetação de restinga na praia da Armação, ilha de Santa Catarina. A fitofisionomia da restinga e a granulometria de três perfis de solos foram descritas em dois transectos nos setores norte e central da praia (S1 e S2). A dinâmica praial foi avaliada a partir de trabalhos com o monitoramento morfossedimentar. Foram identificadas as fitofisionomias herbáceo-arbórea (S1) e herbáceo-arbustiva e arbustiva-arbórea (S2). Perfis granulométricos semelhantes sob as 3 fitofisionomias indicam que a morfodinâmica praial, sobretudo a largura da praia e a declividade da face praial, pode explicar a distribuição da vegetação de restinga.

Published: October 2022

Os ipês são espécies ornamentais presentes em diversas cidades do país, como por exemplo, Londrina (PR). Em suas épocas de florescimento eles são apreciados, devido à exuberância e beleza. Em Londrina, essas espécies têm sido parasitadas pela erva de passarinho, um parasita que retira de seu hospedeiro parte de sua seiva, podendo leva-lo à morte, por possuir rápida e fácil disseminação e infectar diversas árvores. Dessa forma, a presente pesquisa objetivou identificar os ipês parasitados por erva de passarinho no campus da Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL) e compreender as implicações sócio-espaciais e econômicas para a instituição e para a Londrina. Para tanto, uma pesquisa de campo foi realizada na universidade, para identificar os ipês infectados e os não infectados. Destarte, um mapa foi elaborado, com base nos softwares QGIS e ENVI, e apresenta a espacialização do parasitismo. Por meio desse estudo foram identificados um total de 281 ipês, destes 85 estão infectados e 196 não estão, ou seja 30,2% dos ipês da UEL são parasitados pela erva de passarinho.

Published: October 2022

O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar como as informações disponíveis em bancos de dados científicos combinadas com dados de redes sociais, podem ser promissoras para preencher as lacunas geográficas existentes na biodiversidade, visto que há uma falta de informações sobre a real distribuição de espécies para o estudo da conservação. Consultaram-se os nomes científicos de cinco espécies neotropicais como palavras-chave em bancos de dados científicos e redes sociais. A distribuição do K. rupestris [DC=547; RS=21], P. bicolor [DC=326; RS=40] e T. teguixin [DC=580; RS=78] tiveram um grave aumento nos dados de rede social, já B. variegatus [DC=1186; RS=100] e C. caudata [DC=1470; RS=34], ainda que mostrem novos dados, não cobriram grandes novas áreas. Abandonar os dados das redes sociais pode resultar na perda de informações relevantes.

Impact of Occupational Therapy on Self-Care After Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy Among Children With Cerebral Palsy
Authors: Forst Heather , Sylvanus Tonye
Published: October 2022

Importance: Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is an established treatment for spastic cerebral palsy (CP). The effects and predictors of occupational therapy’s benefit for self-care after SDR in children with CP have not been thoroughly investigated.

Objective: To identify changes in self-care after occupational therapy post-SDR and determine whether changes were affected by age, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level, and number of occupational therapy dressing sessions.

Design: In this retrospective cohort study, we collected outcomes pre-SDR, at discharge, and at 1-yr follow-up. Paired t tests and regression analysis were performed.

Setting: Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities–accredited pediatric inpatient rehabilitation facility.

Participants: Seventy-three children (GMFCS Levels I–III, ages 4–17 yr) diagnosed with spastic CP who underwent SDR from 2014 to 2018.

Intervention: After having SDR, each child received an average of twice daily occupational therapy for an average of 37.3 days.

Outcomes and Measures: The Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory Computer Adaptive Test (PEDI–CAT) and Functional Independence Measure for Children® (WeeFIM) were used to assess self-care performance.

Results: The mean WeeFIM dressing (upper and lower body) and mean PEDI–CAT daily activities scores from baseline to discharge and mean WeeFIM lower body dressing at 1-yr follow-up improved significantly. The improvement in lower body dressing correlated with GMFCS level and the number of occupational therapy dressing sessions.

Conclusions and Relevance: The improvement in upper and lower extremity dressing and PEDI–CAT daily activities scores suggests that inpatient occupational therapy post-SDR may provide benefits.

What This Article Adds: Children diagnosed with CP may undergo surgical interventions to improve their ability to walk. This article demonstrates the benefit of occupational therapy services after SDR to improve upper and lower body dressing skills.

Published: October 2022

Introdução: O Gossypium barbadense é a espécie utilizada e encontrada em fundo de quintais em todos os estados do Brasil e pode ser usado na fiação, ornamentação e medicina. O Gossypium barbadense apresenta duas varie-dades botânicas: brasiliense que possui as sementes de cada loja do fruto aderidas umas às outras formando estrutura similar a um rim, sendo chamado rim-de-boi; a segunda, barbadense, possui as sementes separadas e é conhe-cida como quebradinho. O uso de ferramentas de informática para obtenção de dados de coleções biológicas tem sido crucial para quantificar a biodiver-sidade conhecida, e assim levantar regiões escassas de informações da Bio-diversidade. Objetivo: Este trabalho aborda a importância do conhecimento disponível em registros de herbários para a identificação de falhas e direcionamentos sobre a necessidade de estudos em determinadas áreas. Tendo isto como pressuposto, o presente trabalho visou a realização de um levantamen-to de registros da espécie Gossypium barbadense na plataforma on-line Spe-ciesLink, a nível nacional e com ênfase no estado de Goiás. Material e métodos: Foi realizado um levantamento dos registros da espécie Gossypium barbadense já documentados no Brasil, utilizando a plataforma do banco de dados do specieslink. Foram utilizados os filtros para estados, coleção, data e ano da coleta. Por fim, utilizado o filtro apenas para o estado de Goiás e seus munícipios com registros. Resultados: Através do levantamento realizado no site SpeciesLink, foram obtidos um número de 286 exsicatas registradas com a inclusão das duplicatas, provenientes de 57 herbários, utilizando o fil-tro para estados brasileiros e posteriormente para coleção. Nestes totais não foram considerados informações de oito registros, relacionados no site com a informação do estado em branco. Foram observadas lacunas de estudos em alguns estados, bem como em Goiás, uma região onde a espécie é importante para economia e cultura, foram obtidos apenas 5 registros da espécie prove-nientes de 3 municípios. Conclusão: Com o decorrer do tempo os registros aumentaram, no entanto, as escassas informações e má distribuição das co-letas evidenciam a necessidade de inventários florísticos e a informatização dos registros em herbários.

Authors: Lounes Nedjma , Yahiaoui Djamila , Taftaf Dihya , Zenia Safia
Published: October 2022

Brucellosis is an endemic disease in north African countries, including Algeria. To evaluate the infection of veterinarians by brucellosis in Algeria and to study the associated epidemiological factors, we created a survey consisting of 21 questions that were distributed in paper and digital versions. We collected responses from 100 veterinarians spread over 30 wilayas in the different regions of Algeria, i.e., East, Centre, West, and South. The survey revealed that 15% of veterinarians got infected with brucellosis during their practice. Almost half (47%) contracted the disease through direct contact with diseased animals and/or their products, mostly during intervention for the retained placenta. In addition, 20% became infected during vaccination campaigns against brucellosis due to unprotected hands, while 13% were infected by consuming raw milk. 74% of veterinarians agreed to work on farms with brucellosis. Factors such as the frequency of encountering brucellosis farms, negligence in wearing protective equipment, lack of training in handling the vaccine, and lack of work hygiene were reported by the surveyed professionals. Therefore, increasing awareness and educational programs are required among occupational in Algeria.
Law Enforcement Against Racial And Ethnic Discrimination In Criminal Law Perspective
Authors: Barek Duli Sesilia
Published: October 2022

Human life is always discrimination between humans and other humans. Human civilization always develops every age with various technologies and paradigms of people's lives that have an impact on certain superior and minority human groups. The Indonesian state still has a calculation in discriminatory behaviour in accordance with legal, economic and socio-cultural policies to provide preservation of certain political policies only, therefore the state must increase the perception of individual views to the community and certain groups. The State of Indonesia is committed to upholding and respecting human rights which have been regulated in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The 1945 Constitution has provided arrangements related to constitutional rights with the statement that everyone has the right not to get discriminatory treatment from others or certain parties. Discriminatory treatment in the State of Indonesia has a fairly high potential, due to the very large population of Indonesia and different ethnicities, races, cultures and languages, plus the level of education and the economy is relatively low. Therefore, a legal umbrella is needed to avoid the behaviour and consistency of people who discriminate against a person or group in the State of Indonesia by establishing laws and regulations as an effort to protect the law and increase public awareness in dealing with one another.

Published: October 2022

The Open University provides study assistance services to students in the form of a Tutorial program. The implementation of the Tutorial managed by the Tutor as a facilitator has not run optimally. This situation becomes the background of the research problem. The purpose of this research is to analyze the management of Tuton and Tuweb tutors. The theory used is in the form of management functions initiated by Terry. This research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach that reveals the situation by describing the reality correctly and naturally in the distance learning procession. Data was collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and triangulation. The data obtained were then reduced, presented, and concluded. The results of the research generally reveal that management functions have been carried out but their implementation has not been fully implemented. Specific conclusions show (1) Planning: carrying out tutorial preparation meetings and tutor evaluations. (2) Organizing: determine the standardization of Tutors, standardization of recruitment, employment contracts, letters of assignment, and decrees for Tutors Tutons, and letters of assignments for Tutors Tuwebs. (3) Mobilization: organizing Tutor training and refreshment, Whatsapp Group communication, providing reminders and motivation, (4). Controlling: Tuton tutors do not have a routine control schedule yet. Tuweb tutors have a regular control schedule. (5) There are obstacles and solutions as well as future improvements. From these general and specific conclusions, the researcher recommends the Tutor management model to maximize the Tutor management which will have implications for improving the Tutor's performance in managing the Tutorial class.

Nivolumab (Opdivo)
Authors: CADTH
Published: October 2022

CADTH recommends that Opdivo should be reimbursed by public drug plans as a monotherapy for the adjuvant treatment of adult patients with urothelial carcinoma (UC) who are at high risk of recurrence after undergoing radical resection of UC.

Opdivo should only be covered in patients with UC that spreads into the muscle layer, was removed by surgery, and is at high risk of coming back. Patients should have either received cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy or not have received neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy and be ineligible or eligible for adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy but decline to take it.

Opdivo should only be reimbursed if prescribed by qualified practitioners with expertise in treating UC, systemic therapy delivery, and management of immunotherapy-related side effects, and if the cost of Opdivo is reduced. Patients should be in relatively good health (i.e., have a good performance status, as determined by a specialist).

Published: October 2022

CADTH recommends that Enhertu be reimbursed by public drug plans for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer if certain conditions are met.

Enhertu should only be covered to treat adult patients with HER2-positive breast cancer that is unresectable or metastatic (i.e., has spread beyond the initial tumour site) who have previously received trastuzumab and taxane for locally advanced or metastatic disease, or have tumours that progressed within 6 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy with trastuzumab and taxane. Patients must not have previously received an anti-HER2 antibody drug conjugate in the metastatic setting.

Enhertu should only be reimbursed if prescribed without any other anticancer drugs by a clinician with expertise in treating advanced breast cancer and the cost of Enhertu is reduced.
Circulation-regulated impacts of aerosol pollution on urban heat island in Beijing

Published: October 2022

Abstract. Unprecedented urbanization in China has led to serious
urban heat island (UHI) issues, exerting intense heat stress on urban
residents. Based on the observed temperature and PM2.5 concentrations in
Beijing over 2016–2020, we find diverse influences of aerosol pollution on
urban heat island intensity (UHII) under different circulations. When
northerly winds are prevalent in urban Beijing, UHII tends to be much higher
in both daytime and nighttime and it is less affected by aerosol
concentrations. However, when southerly and westerly winds are dominant in
rural Beijing, UHII is significantly reduced by aerosol pollution. Using
coupled aerosol-radiation weather simulations, we demonstrate the underlying physical mechanism which is associated with local circulation and resulting spatial distribution of aerosols. Our results also highlight the role of black carbon in aggravating UHI, especially during nighttime. It could thus be targeted for cooperative management of heat islands and aerosol pollution.
Rapid reappearance of air pollution after cold air outbreaks in northern and eastern China
Authors: Liu Qian , Chen Guixing , Sheng Lifang , Iwasaki Toshiki
Published: October 2022

Abstract. The cold air outbreak (CAO) is the most important way to reduce air pollution during the winter over northern and eastern China. However, a rapid reappearance of air pollution is usually observed during its decay phase. Is there any relationship between the reappearance of air pollution and the properties of CAO? To address this issue, we investigated the possible connection between air pollution reappearance and CAO by quantifying the properties of the residual cold air mass after CAO. Based on the analyses of recent winters (2014–2022), we found that the rapid
reappearance of air pollution in the CAO decay phase has an occurrence
frequency of 63 %, and the air quality in more than 50 % of CAOs worsens compared to that before CAO. The reappearance of air pollution tends to occur in the residual cold air mass with a weak horizontal flux during the first 2 d after CAO. By categorizing the CAOs into groups of rapid and slow air pollution reappearance, we found that the residual cold air mass with a moderate depth of 150–180 hPa, a large negative heat content, and small slopes of isentropes is favorable for the rapid reappearance of air pollution. Among these factors, the cold air mass depth is highly consistent with the mixing layer height, below which most air pollutants are found; the negative heat content and slope of isentropes in the cold air mass jointly determine the intensity of low-level vertical stability. The rapid reappearance of air pollution is also attributed to the maintenance of the residual cold air mass and the above conditions, which are mainly regulated by the dynamic transport process rather than diabatic cooling or heating. Furthermore, analysis of the large-scale circulation of CAOs in their initial stage shows that the anticyclonic (cyclonic) pattern in northern Siberia (northeastern Asia) can be recognized as a precursor for the rapid (slow) reappearance of air pollution after the CAO.
Examination of brown carbon absorption from wildfires in the western US during the WE-CAN study

Published: October 2022

Abstract. Light absorbing organic carbon, or brown carbon (BrC), can be a significant
contributor to the visible light absorption budget. However, the sources of
BrC and the contributions of BrC to light absorption are not well
understood. Biomass burning is thought to be a major source of BrC.
Therefore, as part of the WE-CAN (Western Wildfire Experiment for Cloud
Chemistry, Aerosol Absorption and Nitrogen) study, BrC absorption data were
collected on board the National Science Foundation/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF/NCAR) C-130 aircraft as it intercepted smoke from
wildfires in the western US in July–August 2018. BrC absorption
measurements were obtained in near real-time using two techniques. The first
coupled a particle-into-liquid sampler (PILS) with a liquid waveguide
capillary cell and a total organic carbon analyzer for measurements of
water-soluble BrC absorption and WSOC (water-soluble organic carbon). The
second employed a custom-built photoacoustic aerosol absorption spectrometer
(PAS) to measure total absorption at 405 and 660 nm. The PAS BrC absorption at 405 nm (PAS total Abs 405 BrC) was calculated by assuming the absorption determined by the PAS at 660 nm was equivalent to the black carbon (BC) absorption and the BC aerosol absorption Ångström exponent was 1. Data from the PILS and PAS were combined to investigate the water-soluble vs. total BrC absorption at 405 nm in the various wildfire plumes sampled during WE-CAN. WSOC, PILS water-soluble Abs 405, and PAS total Abs 405 tracked each other in and out of the smoke plumes. BrC absorption was correlated with WSOC (R2 value for PAS =0.42 and PILS =0.60) and CO (carbon monoxide) (R2 value for PAS =0.76 and PILS =0.55) for all wildfires sampled. The PILS water-soluble Abs 405 was corrected for the
non-water-soluble fraction of the aerosol using the calculated UHSAS
(ultra-high-sensitivity aerosol spectrometer) aerosol mass. The corrected
PILS water-soluble Abs 405 showed good closure with the PAS total Abs 405
BrC with a factor of ∼1.5 to 2 difference. This difference
was explained by particle vs. bulk solution absorption measured by the PAS
vs. PILS, respectively, and confirmed by Mie theory calculations. During
WE-CAN, ∼ 45 % (ranging from 31 % to 65 %) of the BrC
absorption was observed to be due to water-soluble species. The ratio of BrC absorption to WSOC or ΔCO showed no clear dependence on fire
dynamics or the time since emission over 9 h.
Shapley values reveal the drivers of soil organic carbon stocks prediction
Authors: Wadoux Alexandre M. J.-C. , Saby Nicolas P. A. , Martin Manuel P.
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Insights into the controlling factors of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks variation is necessary both for our scientific understanding of the terrestrial carbon balance and to support policies that intend to promote carbon storage in soils to mitigate climate change. In recent years, complex statistical and algorithmic tools from the field of machine learning became popular for modelling and mapping SOC stocks over large areas. In this paper, we report on the development of a statistical method for interpreting complex models, which we implemented for the study of SOC stocks variation. We fitted a random forest machine learning model with 2206 measurements of SOC stocks for the 0–50 cm depth interval from mainland France and using a set of environmental covariates as explanatory variables. We introduce Shapley values, a method from coalitional game theory, and use them to understand how environmental factors influence SOC stocks prediction: what is the functional form of the association in the model between SOC stocks and environmental covariates, and how the covariate importance varies locally from one location to another and between carbon-landscape zones. Results were validated both in light of the existing and well-described soil processes mediating soil carbon storage and with regards to previous studies in the same area. We found that vegetation and topography were overall the most important drivers of SOC stock variation in mainland France but that the set of most important covariates varied greatly among locations and carbon-landscape zones. In two spatial locations with equivalent SOC stocks, there was nearly an opposite pattern in the individual covariates contribution that yielded the prediction: in one case climate variables contributed positively whereas in the second case climate variables contributed negatively, and that this effect was mitigated by landuse. This shows that SOC stock variation is complex and should be interpreted at multiple levels. We demonstrate that Shapley values are a methodological development that yielded useful insights into the importance of factors controlling SOC stocks variation in space. This may provide valuable information to understand whether complex empirical models are predicting a property of interest for the right reasons and to formulate hypotheses on the mechanisms driving the carbon sequestration potential of a soil.
The Common Community Physics Package (CCPP) Framework v6
Authors: Heinzeller Dominikus , Bernardet Ligia R. , Firl Grant J. , Zhang Man , Sun Xia , Ek Michael B.
Published: October 2022

Abstract. The Common Community Physics Package (CCPP) is a collection of atmospheric physical parameterizations for use in Earth system models and a framework that couples the physics to a host model’s dynamical core. A primary goal for this effort is to facilitate research and development of physical parameterizations and experimentation with physics-dynamics coupling methods, while simultaneously offering capabilities for use in numerical weather prediction (NWP) operations. The CCPP Framework supports configurations ranging from process studies to operational NWP as it enables host models to assemble the parameterizations in flexible suites. Framework capabilities include variability of scheme call order, ability to group parameterizations for calls in different parts of the host model allowing intervening computation or coupling to additional components, options to call some parameterizations more often than others, and automatic variable transformations. The CCPP Framework was developed by the Developmental Testbed Center and is distributed with a single-column model that can be used to test innovations and to conduct hierarchical studies in which physics and dynamics are decoupled. It is also an integral part of the Unified Forecast System, a community-based, coupled, comprehensive Earth modeling system designed to support research and be the source system for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) operational NWP applications. Finally, the CCPP Framework is under various stages of adoption by a number of other models in the wider community.

Design of A Real-Time Object Detection Prototype System with YOLOv3 (You Only Look Once)
Authors: Gunawan Chichi Rizka , Nurdin Nurdin , Fajriana Fajriana
Published: October 2022

Object detection is an activity that aims to gain an understanding of the classification, concept estimation, and location of objects in an image. As one of the fundamental computer vision problems, object detection can provide valuable information for the semantic understanding of images and videos and is associated with many applications, including image classification. Object detection has recently become one of the most exciting fields in computer vision. Detection of objects on this system using YOLOv3. The You Only Look Once (YOLO) method is one of the fastest and most accurate methods for object detection and is even capable of exceeding two times the capabilities of other algorithms. You Only Look Once, an object detection method, is very fast because a single neural network predicts bounded box and class probabilities directly from the whole image in an evaluation. In this study, the object under study is an object that is around the researcher (a random thing).  System design using Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams, including use case diagrams, activity diagrams, and class diagrams. This system will be built using the python language. Python is a high-level programming language that can execute some multi-use instructions directly (interpretively) with the Object Oriented Programming method and also uses dynamic semantics to provide a level of syntax readability. As a high-level programming language, python can be learned easily because it has been equipped with automatic memory management, where the user must run through the Anaconda prompt and then continue using Jupyter Notebook. The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy and performance of detecting random objects on YOLOv3. The result of object detection will display the name and bounding box with the percentage of accuracy. In this study, the system is also able to recognize objects when they object is stationary or moving.

The k-Means Clustering algorithm is intended to partition data into one or more groups, where data that has similarities in one group and data has differences in another. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Competency data clustering in educational units is considered necessary to facilitate educational facilitation based on the differences in student abilities, determine advanced ICT guidance groups and become a reference in determining the place of Industrial Work Practices (Prakerin). This study aims to find out how the K-Means Clustering algorithm can be applied in clustering the ICT competencies of students at the State Vocational High School (SMK) 3 Lhokseumawe. The benefits generated in this study are in the form of visualization of data clustering that can help teachers and school management in formulating ICT policies at SMKN 3 Lhokseumawe. The data used in this study is the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) competency test score data for the 2021/2022 academic year. The data was obtained through a competency test process that refers to the Minister of Education and Culture Regulation Number 45 of 2015 concerning the Role of ICT/KKPI Teachers in the Implementation of the 2013 Curriculum where ICT competence includes the skills to search, store, process, present and disseminate data and information. Data processing in this study uses the K-means Clustering method and the RapidMiner application. Data processing using the RapidMiner application starts with data preparation, determining the number of clusters, and configuring the method. This study uses 3 (three) cluster configurations, namely the Very Competent, Competent, and Less Competent clusters. Testing data processing using the RapidMiner application resulted in 80 (eighty) students in cluster_0 with a Very Competent rating, 64 (sixty-four) students in cluster_1 with a Competent rating, and 10 (ten) students in cluster_2 with a Less Competent rating.

O foco principal desta revisão é abor¬dar novas estruturas e organelas conhecidas coletivamente como microvesículas extrace¬lulares e nanotúbulos de tunelamento. Vesí-culas extracelulares (EVs) são secretadas pela maioria, senão todas as células, variando de células de mamíferos a protozoários e até bactérias. Revisamos brevemente a biogêne¬se desse grupo distinto que inclui (a) exos¬somo, que se origina dos corpos multivesi¬culares, um importante componente da via endocítica, (b) ectossomo, formado a partir de um processo de brotamento que ocorre na membrana plasmática do células, (c) vesí¬culas liberadas da superfície celular após um processo de patching e capping de comple¬xos ligante/receptor, (d) esfoliação de mem¬brana e outros processos ainda não esclareci¬dos. Os nanotubos de tunelamento (TNTs) são saliências finas e longas entre as células, utilizados para transferência de materiais como organelas e patógenos e comunicação intercelular. Essas estruturas desempenham um papel crucial na homeostase, mas tam¬bém na disseminação de doenças, infecções e metástases. Tanto EVs quanto TNTs consti¬tuem potenciais ferramentas biotecnológicas e são importantes atores do que vem sendo designado como nanobiotecnologia. Eles são um importante sistema de entrega para te-rapia gênica e drogas, além de influenciar a capacidade de regulação celular.

Introduction: There is growing interest and enthusiasm for robotic total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Many robotic systems require registration of bony landmarks as well as a dynamic soft tissue evaluation to plan femoral and tibial resections. Variability in this user-driven registration can introduce error and undermine the purported precision and accuracy offered by robotics. The purpose of this study was to evaluate inter- and intrarater reliability in robotic registration with a new robotic system (ROSA®; Zimmer-Biomet, Warsaw, IN). Methods: Two unpaired cadaveric knee specimens were exposed, and optical arrays were placed into the femur and tibia. Three separate evaluators conducted repeated trials of anatomic registration and assessment of soft tissue laxity, as well as coronal alignment, sagittal alignment, femoral size, and maximum opening in the medial and lateral compartments in both flexion and extension. Repeated trials were conducted using these specimens with and without preoperative imaging for landmarking (image-based and image-free workflows). An Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) was calculated for each observer and across observers to determine intra-and interrater reliability, respectively, in robotic registration. Results: There was good to excellent reliability for all conditions, and all correlation coefficients were >0.767. On average, ICCs for intrarater reliability were excellent for Doctor 1 (0.952), Doctor 2 (0.975), and Doctor 3 (0.925). On average, the ICCs for interrater reliability were excellent for both the “Registration + Gap Assessment” condition (0.961) and the “Gap Assessment” condition (0.994). Conclusion: Our results show a high repeatability of registration of anatomic landmarks and gap assessment among observers using this robotic system for both image-based and image-free software.

La morfometría individual basada en voxel (MIBV) es una técnica para el estudio de cambios morfométricos cerebrales a partir de imágenes de resonancia magnética. Su principal ventaja sobre la morfometría basada en voxel clásica (MBV) es que permite estudiar a los sujetos de manera individual. Sin embargo, su aplicabilidad se ve limitada por la gran cantidad de falsos positivos que produce. Por esta razón, sus aspectos de configuración no han sido estudiados tan exhaustivamente como en MBV. Para abordar esta problemática, primero se realizo un estudio de MIBV sobre sujetos sanos para analizar los falsos positivos y la influencia del tamaño de grupo control y núcleo de suavizado. Segundo, se evaluó la sensibilidad de MIBV sobre sujetos con atrofias simuladas en distintas regiones y tamaños, analizando la influencia del nucleó de suavizado. Tercero, se estudio la sensibilidad y especificidad de MIBV sobre pacientes con esclerosis hipocampal. Cuarto, se desarrollo una metodología basada en aprendizaje de maquina para la reducción de falsos positivos. Se concluyo que los aspectos de configuración de MIBV son determinantes para el rendimiento en la detección de cambios morfológicos. Se pudieron determinar los lımites de rendimiento de MIBV. Finalmente, se demostró que es posible reducirlos falsos positivos, preservando los verdaderos positivos mediante aprendizaje de maquina.

Single Subject Voxel Based Morphometry (SS-VBM) is a methodology for the analysis of brain morphological changes using magnetic resonance imaging. Unlike classic VBM, this technique allows single case studies. However, its applicabilityis limited by the excessively large number of false positives that produces. Forthat reason, its configuration aspects have not been studied as exhaustively as inVBM. To address this issue, first, a SS-VBM study was conducted on healthy subjects to analyze false positives and the influence of control group and smoothing kernelsize. Second, the sensitivity of SS-VBM was evaluated on subjects with simulated atrophies in different regions and sizes, analyzing the influence of the smoo thing kernel. Third, the sensitivity and specificity of SS-VBM was evaluated on patientswith hippocampal sclerosis. Fourth, a methodology based on machine learning was developed for the reduction of false positives. The configuration aspects in SS-VBM were shown to be a crucial factors for the detection performance of morphological changes. In addition, the performancelimits of the methodology could be determined. Finally, it was shown that it ispossible to reduce false positives while preserving true positives using machinelearning.

Bullous pemphigoid is a rare autoimmune skin disorder characterized by enormous, fluid – filled blisters that appear on skin lower belly, upper thighs and armpits. It occurs when the body’s immune system targets the tissue layer beneath the top layer of skin. The cause of this attack is not known. A 48 years old male patient received in the ward with the complaints of fluid filled lesions all over the body including oral cavity, history of rupture of lesions spontaneously to form raw areas, itching before the onset of lesions since 3 days. The incisional biopsy was done and the lesion was clinically confirmed to be a bullous pemphigoid. After the medical treatment with steroids, the patient was symptomatically better and was discharged with medications.

Investigating the Association of Poly (ADP-Ribose) Polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and Nuclear Factor-κB (NF-κB) Polymorphisms with Vitiligo Susceptibility
Authors: Shoab Mansuri Mohmmad , Singh Mala , Jariwala Munira
Published: October 2022

Background: Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a co-activator of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and is also strongly activated by DNA damage. PARP has also been found to be associated with several autoimmune disorders. Vitiligo is a polygenic, multifactorial, acquired skin disorder caused due to loss of epidermal melanocytes. Among others, genetic and immunological factors are associated with vitiligo pathogenesis.
Aim: To investigate the association of PARP1 exon 17 (rs1136410; V762A) and promoter CA microsatellite repeat (rs1136410) polymorphisms, and NF-κB promoter -94 indelATTG (rs28362491) polymorphism with vitiligo pathogenesis in Gujarat population.
Methods: Genotyping of PARP1 17T/C (rs5030870) polymorphism was done by PCR-RFLP.PARP1 CA microsatellite and NF-κB-94 indel (rs28362491) polymorphisms were genotyped by Real-Time PCR. Anti-PARP antibody levels were assessed by ELISA.
Results: The results suggested no significant difference in allele and genotype frequencies of PARP1 17 T/C (p=0.5094 and p=0.4201, respectively), PARP1 CA microsatellite polymorphisms (p=0.9519 and p=0.9338, respectively) and NF-κB-94 ATTG indel polymorphism (p=0.1482 and p=0.3784, respectively) in patients as compared to controls.
Conclusion: This study suggests no association of PARP1 17 T/C, PARP1 CA microsatellite and NF-κB-94 ATTG indel polymorphisms with vitiligo susceptibility in Gujarat population. Additionally, anti-PARP1 antibody levels were not significantly different among patients and controls. These findings suggest the need for additional studies to explore the role of PARP1 in vitiligo pathogenesis.
