Authors: López González Pablo Julian , Reyes González David , Moreno Vázquez Oscar , Cordero Martínez María Alejandra , Escobar Galván Johana Zujeyth
Published: January 2024

La estabilización de suelos es crucial para la ejecución de obras civiles, como la construcción de carreteras y puentes. Dado que el suelo no siempre cuenta con las caracteristicas físicas y mécanicas adecuadas, es necesario modificarlo para cumplir con las exigencias de las cargas generadas por el tráfico pesado en carreteras. La región montañosa del Estado de Veracruz enfrenta problemas recurrentes de inestabilidad del suelo, para la elección de materiales para estabilización debe ser cuidadosa para evitar repercusiones negativas. En el municipio de Juchique de Ferrer, Veracruz, prevalece el suelo Luvisol, una arcilla expansiva de color rojo oscuro. El deterioro del camino que conecta Juchique de Ferrer con la capital de Veracruz aumenta el tiempo de traslado y disminuye la seguridad, generando riesgos de accidentes. Este proyecto tiene como objetivo evaluar el comportamiento de un suelo arcillo mediante la aplicación de cemento base pumicita para mejorar sus propiedades. Aunque se han utilizado Portland y cal para estabilizar suelos, como cementos superfaltados y metakaolín, con el fin de encontrar materiales que se adapten a las características del terreno. Se llevarán a cabo prubas para determinar el porcentaje adecuado de cemento base pumicita necesario para estabilizar el camino y resolver los problemas presentes.

Background and aim. This study aims at emphasizing specific aspects of prosthetic treatment for rheumatoid arthritis patients that are completely edentulous. Material and method. In December 2023, a search was conducted through three medical databases: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Results. Concerning their unique signs and symptoms, the management of edentulous patients with rheumatoid arthritis with removable dentures has several unique features throughout the clinical stages. Some patients have difficulty keeping dental appointments from the initial phase of treatment due to mobility issues, particularly in severe forms where several joints are impacted, resulting in stiffness that can restrict the ability to move. In such situations, the dental professional must insist on a thorough examination of the oral tissues that are going to sustain the prosthetic device or come into its proximity. In cases in which temporomandibular joint damage limits mouth opening, it can also be challenging to examine the denture’s supporting tissues and take impressions because rheumatoid arthritis patients have been shown to have modifications in the joint’s elements and function. Conclusion. To improve the outcomes and overall well-being of rheumatoid arthritis patients who are completely edentulous, it is essential to thoroughly consider the options for treatment when utilizing prosthetic devices and additional therapies.

Published: January 2024

Global interest in dyeing fabrics using natural dyes has increased due to recent trends toward sustainable textiles. As opposed to synthetic dyes, colourants from natural dyes contribute to environmental preservation and reduce human dependency on hazardous resources. This study extracted colourants from Bandicoot berry (Leea Indica) or Memali (Malay), using the aqueous water extraction methods. Infrared (IR) and exhaustion (EX) dyeing were performed on 100% plain silk fabrics at 90℃ for 60 minutes with a simultaneous mordanting technique. The dyed fabrics were then measured using a spectrophotometer to analyse the L*a*b* values and K/S values of the shades obtained. The ability to withstand washing, perspiration, rubbing/crocking, and light of the dyed fabrics were compared. All fastness testing was done in accordance with MS ISO Standard and AATCC. The K/S values of the dyed fabrics were enhanced using mordants. The fastness properties of the IR-dyed silk fabrics gave ratings from good to excellent compared to EX-dyed fabrics which received mostly fair to good ratings. To conclude, this study provides empirical evidence that the colour properties of dyed silk fabrics with natural colourants extracted from Bandicoot berry (Leea Indica) can be optimized by using IR dyeing.

Published: January 2024

Financial management is the key to running a successful business, and financial forecasting is crucial to every business. Companies face difficulties making the right decision regarding their goals as they experience uncertainties in ensuring business growth. This study uses Dutch Lady company as a case study to help identify the company’s performance based on eight financial ratios and visualize the results using the visualization technique. Hence, the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) algorithm and visualization techniques were applied to overcome the problems. The data is obtained from the last quarterly report for the study purpose. There are 14 variables collected and used to calculate the eight financial ratios. The predictive modelling uses the ARIMA algorithm, and the models were evaluated using two types of error metrics: 1) mean absolute error (MAE) and 2) root mean squared error (RMSE). The reliability testing for the system’s prediction model shows a result p-value<0.05, and functionality testing successfully met the aims. The error metric evaluation result shows no significant differences between the forecast and actual values. The models can appropriately predict and forecast the financial ratio as the rules for both MAE and RMSE are fulfilled. The forecast results of each financial ratio are visualized and presented through the web-based system.

Energy management is a critical component of intelligent, low-energy buildings. Demand-side management may benefit more from energy management. It could allow the system to use less energy while still meeting its demand for the available resources. According to recent research, buildings may reduce their energy use by up to 30% via improved operations, which are often based on effective energy management using the load priority algorithm. As a result, there is still room for energy savings in buildings via improved and effective operation. Smart grids provide electricity systems with suitable infrastructure for enhancing building energy efficiency. The secret to creating energy-efficient processes is creating rules based on energy consumption priority algorithms. When an energy bank is limited and an energy supply to a system is needed for a specific time, the priority algorithm is frequently used. In this study, a priority algorithm is put forward and put to the test in a real-world setting of a low-energy building.

Published: January 2024

INTRODUCTION. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral polyneuropathy (CIPN) is one of the most frequent side effects caused by anticancer drugs, with a prevalence ranging from 19 % to 85 %. For effective multicomponent rehabilitation of patients with CIPN at different stages, a number of non-medicinal methods are recommended to improve the tolerance of chemotherapy and reduce the side effects of the antitumor treatment performed.
AIM. Study of the effect of high-intensity pulsed magnetotherapy on clinical manifestations and microcirculation state in patients with CIPN.
DESIGN. This is a randomized controlled study.
SETTING. Randomization, organization of the study and data analysis were performed on the premises of the Department of Medical Rehabilitation in National Medical Research Centre for Rehabilitation and Balneology, Moscow, Russia.
POPULATION. Sixty patients with CIPN were included in this study and were randomized by a simple random distribution method in a ratio of 1:1 into 2 groups of 30 people.
METHODS. Sixty patients with CIPN four weeks after completion of chemotherapy were examined. The first group, the main group, included patients who received high-intensity pulsed magnetotherapy (HIPMT) in combination with drug therapy. In the second group (control group), the patients received only drug therapy. The EORTC-QLQ-C30 questionnaire (version 3) was used to assess the quality of life. The HADS scale was used to assess the severity of anxiety and depression symptoms. The state of microcirculation was assessed using laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF). The severity of CIPN was assessed according to the CTS-NCIC scale, version 3.0.
RESULTS. According to the results of this study, there is a statistically significant difference in the scores on the EORTC-QLQ-C30 questionnaire (version 3), HADS scale and LDF data between the groups in favour of the group receiving HIPMT in combination with drug therapy.
CONCLUSION. Based on the LDF study, significant disturbances at the microcirculatory level were detected for the first time in patients with CIPN. The obtained results convincingly demonstrate that the use of HIPMT in patients with CIPN leads not only to improvement of microcirculation in the extremities due to normalisation of arterial vessel tone, elimination of venous stasis and increase in the nutritive blood flow, but also has an analgesic effect, improves initially impaired sensitivity, and improves the quality of life of these patients.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT. The use of HIPMT in combination with drug therapy in patients with CIPN was more effective than drug therapy alone.
Low Back Pain: a New Comprehensive Pathogenetic Model Supporting Methods of Medical Rehabilitation
Authors: Tesio Luigi
Published: January 2024

The pathogenesis of chronic low back pain remains elusive. It is still considered a «non-specific» condition, with severity loosely related to anatomical alterations of the lumbar spinal canal (e.g., disc herniation, spinal stenosis). Signs and symptoms may appear contradictory, such as pain aggravated by rest or spinal loading, opposite lumbar postures (flexed or extended) adopted by different patients, and others. Guidelines and reviews oscillate between a restrictive nerve compression model to large sets of epidemiologic factors (from lifestyle to chronic lumbar stress to genetic determinants). A new pathogenetic model is presented here, based on the variable interaction between three possible determinants: compression of nerve endings by disc herniation or arthritic spurs, engorgement of the epidural (Batson) venous plexus, and inflammation triggered by focal thrombophlebitis and fostered by fibrinolytic defects. Hence, the name Compressive-Venous-Inflammatory (CoVIn) is given to the model. Biological and clinical studies provide evidence for each of the three cited determinants. The integrated model explains many «unexplained» characteristics of LBP and provides a rationale for mechanical treatments targeting one or more of the three determinants. Active Lumbar Traction (auto-traction), water exercise, and Williams’ flexor exercises look highly consistent with the model, which can explain their effectiveness.

LOS SIGNOS EN
LA PASIÓN SEGÚN G.H.
: UNA SEMÁNTICA EXISTENCIAL DE LA PUNTUACIÓN
Authors: Torres Giovanny Salas
Published: January 2024

Este ensayo es una lectura de
La pasión según G.H.
de Clarice Lispector, una las obras de la autora que mejor explora la existencia y el reconocimiento del “otro” en el mundo del texto. La novela se entiende como el aprendizaje de los signos de G.H., motivo por el cual se analiza la deshumanización del arte y se propone una semántica existencial de la puntuación, considerando especialmente los signos de segundo régimen. Este estudio aporta un nuevo énfasis a la recepción de la novela y abre un campo de indagación en la obra de la escritora.
UN RIZOMA LATINOAMERICANO: LA MUJER INDÍGENA
Authors: Casas Analiz Faife
Published: January 2024

Esta investigación explora la condición rizomática de la mujer indígena a partir de su reinterpretación y reinserción dentro de la narrativa histórica. El análisis yuxtapuesto de la novela
Memorias de la Pivihuarmi Cuxirimay Ocllo
y el documento colonial
Suma y Narración del imperio inca
permite contrastar las formas de representación de la mujer indígena peruana en ambos textos. Los conceptos de
desterritorialización
y
reterritorialización
posibilitan el estudio de formas subversivas de representación de esta mujer indígena en el discurso histórico. Pese a su mínima representación, este análisis constata que la mujer indígena deviene un elemento rizomático dentro del texto colonial.
POÉTICA DE LA TEATRALIDAD AFROURUGUAYA: A PROPÓSITO DE “CRÓNICAS” (2016) DE
MI MORENA
Authors: Remedi Gustavo
Published: January 2024

Salvo muy contadas excepciones, los estudios literarios y teatrales en Uruguay no se han ocupado del teatro negro o afro-uruguayo, y menos todavía de sus formas propias. Tras argumentar la necesidad de tomar en cuenta las formas teatrales y las teatralidades desarrolladas y cultivadas por la cultura afro-uruguaya, en este trabajo nos ocupamos de estudiar un género de teatro carnavalesco que según la categorización que establece el Concurso Oficial de Agrupaciones, que se realiza cada año en el Teatro de Verano, se denomina “Sociedades de Negros y Lubolos”. Se caracteriza este género –una especie de musical con base de candombe y otras músicas negras (tango, milonga, tropical, rap, etc.)– y se analiza el espectáculo Crónicas (2016) de la agrupación Mi Morena. En particular, nos detenemos en los temas, problemas, discursos y perspectivas que plantean (el “qué” dicen) como estrategia de intervención artística en la esfera pública, pero también en el “cómo”, el modo en que lo hacen. De esta manera, nos proponemos investigar no solo el contenido de este teatro afrouruguayo sino avanzar en una hermenéutica acorde con las formas que esta comunidad ha desarrollado para expresarse escénicamente, en sus propios términos.
High hymenopteran parasitoid infestation rates in Czech populations of the Euphydryas aurinia butterfly inferred using a new molecular marker
Authors: Konvičková Hana , John Václav , Konvička Martin , Rindoš Michal , Hrček Jan
Published: January 2024

We apply a molecular approach to quantify the level of hymenopteran parasitoids infestation in the larvae of the marsh fritillary (Euphydryas aurinia), a declining butterfly species, in western Bohemia, Czech Republic, in two subsequent years. We used the novel primer HymR157 in combination with known universal 28SD1F to establish a PCR detection system which amplifies hymenopteran parasitoids, but not the lepidopteran host. In the 14 sampled E. aurinia colonies, the infestation rates per individuum were 33.3% and 40.2%; whereas per sampled larval colony, these were on average 38.5% (range 0–100) and 40.1% (0–78). The per-colony infestation rates correlated with the numbers of larval webs censused per colony the year prior to sampling the parasitoids, pointing to a time lag in parasitoid infestation rates. The levels of the hymenopteran parasitoid prevalence are thus relatively high, supporting the importance of parasitoids for the population dynamics of the threatened host. The detection primers we developed can detect a range of hymenopteran parasitoids on other butterfly hosts.
Taxonomic novelties in Haplopappus (Asteraceae, Astereae) from Chile
Authors: García Nicolás , Cádiz-Véliz Arón , Villalobos Macarena , Morales Vanezza
Published: January 2024

Two new species of Haplopappus (Asteraceae) from central Chile are described in this article. Haplopappus colliguayensissp. nov. is restricted to La Chapa hill, Colliguay, Valparaíso Region, and is most similar to H. undulatus but differs from the latter in its stem indumentum, leaf shape and margin, and synflorescence arrangement. Haplopappus teillierisp. nov. has been recorded from four high-Andean localities in the Choapa, Petorca, Rocín and Aconcagua river basins, and is most similar to H. punctatus but differs from the latter in its leaf length and margin, number of peduncles per twig, width of outer phyllaries, number of ray florets per capitulum, and achene dimensions. Additionally, we propose the reinstatement of H. kingii in agreement with an exhaustive revision of type material and protologues, as well as the study of herbarium specimens. Haplopappus kingii is restricted to mountainous areas in the southern portion of the Atacama Region, and resembles H. parvifolius and H. retinervius but differs from both by its leaf margin and apex, besides additional differences from each. We provide morphological descriptions, field images, distributional maps, conservation assessments, and taxonomic notes for the three species treated, as well as illustrations for the novel taxa.

Published: January 2024

A new species, Veronica kurdistanica (Plantaginaceae), is described and illustrated. It grows on limestone cliffs in mountainous alpine areas of western Iran (Kurdistan province). The new species belongs to the species group of V. kurdica and is considered to be closely related to V. daranica, V. khorassanica and V. kurdica, with which the new species is compared. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of nrDNA (ITS) region confirms this relationship. Veronica kurdistanica is distinguished from the mentioned species by its glandular indumentum, length and shape of leaves and bracts, number of flowers per raceme, length and width of calyx and corolla, and size of capsules and seeds.
Lightweight high-performance pose recognition network: HR-LiteNet
Authors: Cai Zhiming , Zhuang Liping , Chen Jin , Jiang Jinhua
Published: January 2024

To address the limited resources of mobile devices and embedded platforms, we propose a lightweight pose recognition network named HR-LiteNet. Built upon a high-resolution architecture, the network incorporates depthwise separable convolutions, Ghost modules, and the Convolutional Block Attention Module to construct L_block and L_basic modules, aiming to reduce network parameters and computational complexity while maintaining high accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate that on the MPII validation dataset, HR-LiteNet achieves an accuracy of 83.643% while reducing the parameter count by approximately 26.58 M and lowering computational complexity by 8.04 GFLOPs compared to the HRNet network. Moreover, HR-LiteNet outperforms other lightweight models in terms of parameter count and computational requirements while maintaining high accuracy. This design provides a novel solution for pose recognition in resource-constrained environments, striking a balance between accuracy and lightweight demands.
