Authors: Garro María Manuela , Churín Lisandro , Quadrelli Silvia
Published: April 2023

Los nódulos pulmonares pueden ser variados: sólidos, en vidrio esmerilado; granulomatosos o no granulomatosos; cavitados o no cavitado. Son un hallazgo frecuente en las imágenes de tórax cuando el paciente llega a la consulta. Según sus características y en concordancia con los antecedentes del paciente (historia clínica, exámen físico y resultados de laboratorio) nos orienta a las distintas etiologías: infeccioso, autoinmune u oncológico. Sin embargo, muchas veces es un gran desafío clínico.Se presenta el caso de una paciente joven sin antecedentes que consulta por tos de 3 meses de evolución. En TC de tórax se evidencia masa mediastinal izquierda que desplaza tráquea y nódulos pulmonares bilaterales cavitados. Luego de descartarseetiologías más probables por frecuencia para su edad y forma de manifestación clínica, se arriba al diagnóstico de Linfoma de Hodgkin clásico Esclero Nodular con compromiso extranodal. Enfermedad poco frecuente y en nuestro caso, modo de presentación atípica.

Published: April 2023

Objetivo. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la eficacia y seguridad de la combinación de dosis fija montelukast/desloratadina 10mg/5mg cápsula versus la combinación de montelukast/loratadina 10 mg/10 mg tableta en adultos con diagnóstico de rinitis alérgica persistente.

Material y métodos. El presente fue un estudio clínico aleatorizado, controlado, doble ciego, prospectivo, longitudinal, multicéntrico, con brazos paralelos. Sujetos con diagnóstico de rinitis alérgica persistente que cumplieran criterios de elegibilidad y firmaran consentimiento informado fueron enrolados para recibir uno de los dos tratamientos cada 24 horas vía oral durante 6 semanas. La eficacia se estableció mediante la evaluación clínica a través de escalas clínicas validadas en idioma español, siendo la variable primaria de eficacia la diferencia de puntuación del cuestionario SNOT-20 al final del tratamiento, mientras que la frecuencia y características de los eventos adversos fue considerada la variable de seguridad.  

Resultados. Se aleatorizaron 86 pacientes, 74 de ellos fueron analizados por protocolo. Los cuestionarios sobre síntomas de la enfermedad e indicadores de calidad de vida con ambos tratamientos mostraron que más del 90% de los pacientes no presentaron síntomas o solo fueron leves al final del estudio, por lo que ambos tratamientos mejoraron significativamente (p<0.05) la sintomatología de la enfermedad. Los eventos adversos presentados fueron leves a moderados.

Conclusiones. El presente estudio demostró que la eficacia de montelukast/desloratadina 10mg/5mg no es inferior al medicamento comparador. Por tanto, el tratamiento de prueba representa una alternativa eficaz y segura para el tratamiento de segunda línea de la rinitis alérgica persistente en pacientes que las monoterapias o primeras líneas de tratamiento no ofrecen mejoría clínicamente relevante.

Authors: Maspul Kurniawan Arif
Published: April 2023

Istanbul is well-known for its history, culture, and cuisine, particularly in the food and beverage industry. The expansion of Istanbul's gastronomy industry has created opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to contribute to the local economy by developing and promoting local cuisine. Sustainable development in the creative economy sector, particularly in the food and beverage industry, can create a one-stop gastronomy value chain, with stakeholders working together to reinforce each other's ideas and promote long-term growth. Similarly, the development of coffee in Istanbul has increased in recent years, making it a destination for specialty coffee in Asia and Europe. The unique characteristics of Istanbul make the local SME economy dynamic in its rotation, creating the possibility of long-term growth.

This study used qualitative research methods such as observations, interviews, and document analysis to present perceptions and events in a realistic and integrated manner. The study focused on the third batch of coffee roasteries in Istanbul, and data was gathered through interviews with four coffee professionals from Istanbul's leading specialty coffee roasters. The data were descriptively analysed to identify the perspectives of people directly involved with professional coffee, namely four coffee roasters, who are the primary source of information and directly related to Istanbul's coffee value chain cycle. Coffee tourism can help the local coffee economy. Promoting fair trade practices, responsible coffee production, gender equality, decent work opportunities, and responsible consumption and production in Istanbul's coffee value chain can help achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Istanbul's creative economy sector is thriving and has the potential to contribute to the local economy for many years to come. Istanbul's gastronomy and coffee industries can continue to grow and offer unique experiences to locals and tourists by promoting sustainability and working together as stakeholders.

Published: April 2023

The peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) crop is a grain legume of great importance in arid and semi-arid regions, during the course of the years the increasing climatic variability has caused climatic variations that have affected agricultural performance, and the Aquacrop model emerges as one of the first options for the potential evaluation of crop yield, offering a relatively economical alternative to field trials which are time-consuming and often costly. Given the above, a field trial was carried out to evaluate and calibrate peanut crop yield using the Aquacrop software as the main tool in the decision-making process. The results showed that the performance of the model was good when simulating canopy cover (%) and biomass (t ha-1) (n RMSE= 1.10% and 4.41 t ha-1, respectively). On the other hand, the model did not overestimate the evapotranspiration values; in general, the model performed well for the CC and accumulated biomass simulations, thus showing a great potential to simulate these variables, however, it is necessary to continue testing the model's response to different climates and soils of the region.

Published: April 2023

In Ecuador, the cultivation of rice (Oryza sativa L) is affected by various insect pests that cause the deterioration of the vegetation. Therefore, this problem was investigated in the Canton Naranjal in four rice farms covering a total area of 213.8 ha, carrying out "X" sampling with 20 double passes with the entomological net. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tools were used to geo-reference the insects that prevail in the crop and at the same time observe the locations and know in which phenological stage they are present with the assistance of the BBCH Codification. Thematic maps of pest and beneficial insects were made with Density Kernel allowing the population of insects per m² found in the three samplings to be estimated. The percentages vary by phenological stage, but five pest insects predominate: Hydrellia sp, Tagosodes oryzicolus Müir, Rupella albinella, Oebalus ornatus (Adult), Tibraca limbativentris (Adult - Nymph), the GIS allow a spatial distribution of the pest insects.

Authors: Faseleh Jahromi Mohsen , Bijani Mostafa , Badiyepeymaiejahromi Zohreh , Zeini Jahromi Mojtaba , Koohi Aliakbar
Published: April 2023

Background: Nurses, as health advocates and front-line fighters in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, experience severe professional stress and psychological crises. Objectives: The present study was conducted to explain the nurses’ perception of expected organizational and professional support during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: In this qualitative study, data collection was performed through semi-structured, individual, and in-depth interviews. A total of 20 nurses participated in the study through purposive sampling. The data were collected within June-October 2021. The collected data were analyzed based on Granheim and Lundman’s method. Results: The findings of the study were presented in the form of 4 main themes and 10 subthemes, including lack of physical support (i.e., lack of tools and equipment and problems concerning using personal protective equipment to care for COVID-19 patients), lack of psychological support (i.e., paying attention to nurses’ job stress and mutual understanding of managers and nurses), lack of welfare support (i.e., high workload, financial support, providing facilities for nurses for employment, and providing facilities to support staff in childcare), and weakness in efficient crisis management (i.e., insufficient attention of managers to the principles of crisis management and the lack of a standard infectious disease hospital for COVID-19 patients).

Published: April 2023

Background: Burns are one of the most common injuries; however, there are few medications to repair burned skin. Although antibacterial drugs such as topical silver sulfadiazine may prevent wound infections, they usually cannot accelerate skin healing. Marshmallow (Althaea officinalis L.) has long been used in Iranian traditional medicine to deal with skin burns. Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of hydroalcoholic and aqueous extract of A. officinalis on the histopathologic parameters of second-degree burns in mice. Methods: The mice were randomly divided into nine groups (n = 6), including control and treatment groups. Experimental second-degree burns were induced on the dorsal skin of the mice by a metal plate (2 cm in diameter) under general anesthesia. Control and treatment groups were treated twice a day for 21 days topically. Normal saline was used for the control group, and hydroalcoholic and aqueous extracts of A. officinalis in three concentrations (1%, 2%, and 4%) were used for the treatment groups. All preparations were made in a hydrogel base. Finally, the histopathological parameters of the burned skin, including polymorphonuclear (PMN) migration, epithelialization, angiogenesis, and collagenization, were scored, and the total score of wound healing was calculated. Results: The findings showed that topical application of hydroalcoholic or aqueous extracts of A. officinalis accelerated the wound healing process. They reduced PMN migration, collagenization, epithelialization, and angiogenesis scores compared to the control group. There was a significant difference between the 4% hydroalcoholic extract group and the normal saline group. Conclusions: Althaea officinalis may have been used as an adjunct medication to accelerate wound healing in skin burns.

Published: April 2023

The future of engineering education does not depend only on the curricula designed by universities, but increasingly on the needs of society and the complex requirements of Industry 4.0. Now there is an urgent need to work on an educational approach based on the close collaboration of three stakeholders: the university, which facilitates authentic learning opportunities for students and professionals and ensures the quality of learning outcomes; the industry, which establishes the skill sets and competencies it requires of its workforce; and finally, governments and professional associations, which can influence, provide global collaboration frameworks to support transformation and funding for reskilling, upskilling, as well as institutional responses. This study presents an analysis and comparison of the engineering skills "eco-system" that considers not only the technical education in response to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, but also the problem-solving needs of society and the human factors that shape the transition to the labour market in global contexts.
Préserver la Nature ou se Révolter pour le Vivant ?
Authors: de Saint Phalle Blaise ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2023

Should we preserve nature or revolt in order to protect “the living” (“le vivant”)? At first sight, this invites a comparison between two ways and means of protecting nature. However, this article will defend the thesis that these two methods of protecting nature do not rest upon the same conception of our position, as human beings, towards the living. Indeed, in the end, we find an underlying opposition between nature, conceived as savage or as radical alterity (often inspired by the culturally loaded notion of wilderness, as found in the politics of preservation of vulnerable natural spaces) and the notion of “the living.” I intend to use the concept of the living in order to emphasize “ordinary nature” and our strong connection with all other living things. This reflection will enable me to defend the connection between the fight for environmental justice (namely revolt or resistance movements on the part of the poorest populations defending their living environment and their resources against an unequal production system) and the struggle for the protection of vulnerable living spaces and species.

Authors: Afni Khairul , Silaban Ramlan
Published: April 2023

Efforts to improve the quality of education are influenced by the factors involved during the learning process; such as teachers, curriculum, infrastructure, and the environment. This is in line with Law no. 20 of 2003 which states that "Learning is a process of student interaction and learning resources in a learning environment". Over time, the foundations of the world of education began to be neglected, so that UNESCO (United Nations Education Scientific and Cultural Organization) initiated four pillars of education to improve the quality of education, namely: Learning to know, learning to do, learning to be, and learning to live together. To realize the four pillars of education in the current era of information globalization, teachers as learning agents are required to master and apply Information and Communication Technology in learning. This study aims to measure students' problem solving abilities using macromedia flash chemistry learning media. This type of research is R&D. The subjects in this study were 35 students of class X SMA Negeri 4 Binjai. The data taken is in the form of the results of the feasibility of macromedia flash-based chemistry learning media in measuring students' problem-solving abilities and the responses given. From the data generated, 95.71% of students gave positive responses and out of 35 students there were 2 students who had very low scores, so it can be concluded that macromedia flash-based chemistry learning media can be used

The research instrument that researchers use to obtain the results of Islamic counseling therapy to increase the happiness of broken home children in students is by distributing questionnaires to research subjects, namely class X students of Madrasah Aliyah Al-Jam'iyatul Wasliyah Medan Tembung. After getting the results of distributing the questionnaire to students, the researcher can proceed to the stage of applying the Islamic guidance and counseling model in the form of prayer therapy, and dhikr & al-Qur'an therapy to students who experience broken homes who are at a high category level which is called a group experiment. Based on the results of the researchers' findings that the school has implemented the same thing as will be researched and conducted research at the school, but this cannot run conducively and does not match the expectations of the school because of a lack of seriousness and still a lack of control from the teacher as well as from the students. Students at the Madrasah Aliyah Al-Jam'iyatul Wasliyah Tembung school follow the hours that have been set for the prayer schedule and they all follow it properly and regularly but when carrying out the Al-Qur'an reading process there are still some students who are not good at all reading the Qur'an and for dhikr they can do it smoothly and well. So it can be concluded that Islamic counseling therapy to increase the happiness of broken children can increase the happiness of broken home children in students.

The Internet and other types of modern communication technologies have made the process of exchanging information nowadays extraordinarily rapid and fluid. In this day and age, when both mobile phones and computers are prevalent, it is fairly typical for people to use several communication channels, such as mobile phones and computers, in order to communicate with one another. The creation of an Emotion Detection Model that takes into account emotion at the phrase level is one of the tasks that are included in the scope of this project. Concepts from both Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) can be found in content-based classification issues that fall under NLP’s purview. Our methodology makes use of direct emotional keywords that are located throughout the text as a method for determining feelings. These keywords can be located by searching for them. Throughout the process of identification, words and phrases that convey emotional affect were also taken into consideration. This was done with the intention of improving the accuracy of the results. In order to be better at recognizing emotion in textual material, we have thought about a variety of feelings, including happiness, sadness, anger, and other emotions. These are actually phrases that are utilized by human beings in their everyday conversations. These studies are very important because the conclusions that can be derived from them have the ability to better communicate human emotions and to assist in improving communication between persons.

Hand gestures are becoming more common in HCI. No matter the project, the majority of the task will involve interaction with other parts of the body, the environment, etc. We demonstrate how to locate a user’s hand and movements, apply this information in a home situation, and interact with the system in this work. Using this information is also discussed. Sign language communicates visually using hand motions. Hand gestures may help hearing-impaired people communicate. Processing hand gestures lets people use their hands to communicate. Words can be made by combining signs and digits on the palms of one’s hands. Sightbased and glove-based hand motions are used nowadays. In this paper, we introduce deep convolutional neural networks for image classification and demonstrate their utility in hand gesture classification. In particular, we examine how these networks can recognise hand motions. Deep convolutional hand gesture can uncover many hand motions. Hand gestures can express many emotions. Time is needed to comprehend the hand motions Using a convolutional neural network to separate items or photographs saves time and effort. Hand actions demand more time to assess. In this case, the deep convolutional neural network speeds up the procedure. The system’s precision, sensitivity, and accuracy will improve with deep CNN. CNN, which divides the dataset into chunks, can be utilised to get high accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity from the dataset. Once the camera transmits the hand gesture image, the system will stop.

The goal of this work is to help the visually impaired by making it possible for them to recognize hidden images on signs, which will hopefully lead to fewer accidents. Although traffic signs are essential for maintaining order, they can also increase the risk of accidents if they are obstructed. Individuals who are visually impaired, such as the blind, can benefit greatly from this technique. Furthermore, the proposed system is conducive to the operation of autonomous cars, as the billboards can be read automatically and the vehicles may be directed by the proposed system. When a potentially dangerous image is received, a warning is displayed to the driver. Throughout this piece, ”input image” will refer to the footage recorded by a camera situated at the front of the car. After converting the image to grayscale, a resizing method is applied, and a filter is used to get rid of any noticeable noise that remains. In the end, feature extraction and feature reduction methods are used to priorities certain features over others. Hence, the DNN procedure is an integral aspect of the system, as it is used for both speech recognition and image recognition. This project’s main goal is to recognize incoming photos by comparing them to data sets stored in a database, with successful matches sounding an alarm for the driver.

Improvements in wireless technology have helped a variety of medical professions. There are a lot of places out there that use a pulse monitor, but all they do is record the information that comes out of it. But, it is not only difficult but also costly to acquire access to sophisticated medical gear. The suggested real-time heart rate monitoring system uses a web server and an Arduino microcontroller to link the heart rate to the internet, retrieve heart rate values, store them in a cloud service, and alert the treating physician. The filter bank that was developed by extrapolating heart rates from BBIs shows the extrapolated heart rates as zero crossings in the output signal. Before alerting medical personnel, an algorithm assesses the reliability of the observed heart rate in describing the patient’s condition. Extract BBIs are then used to derive HRV features. Once a threat has been recognised, a notification is sent to the appropriate expert as soon as possible. The patient’s movements are tracked using an infrared (IR) sensor linked to an Arduino microcontroller, and the controller or specialist is alerted to any abnormalities via a buzzer. The proposed framework is used by a variety of customers, not just the informed expert (User agreeable). By employing this method, you can expect precise, speedy, and cheap outcomes. This procedure will be utilised in the development of an Arduinobased Heart Rate Monitor System with a Heartbeat Sensor. By contrasting the results with those obtained by analysing an ECG signal with an oscilloscope and by manually calculating the heart rate, the show reveals a far more beneficial setup.

Research and innovative medical practises are constantly advancing and revolutionising the medical industry. The success of healthcare reform depends on a number of variables, one of the most important of which is the safeguarding of patients’ right to privacy about their own medical information. Important patient information should be transmitted only to those who need to see it, hence using encrypted channels for data transfer is crucial. As this is the case, the article’s author suggests using a system called distributed block chains to protect healthcare institutions’ data. The results of this study suggest that a healthcare system based on blockchain technology could provide patients and healthcare providers with a trustworthy and safe way to store sensitive data. My stance has been to push for a middle ground that will ensure patient privacy. It has been rigorously examined, and the outcomes confirm that it is resistant to standard attacks. Furthermore, an Ethereum-based implementation has been used to assess the proposed system’s viability.
