Lidocaine and Ketamine as Sedation for Burn Wound Care in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report
Authors: Perabo Arden , Keeney Kathryn , Pang Alan W , Bharadia Deepak , Griswold John
Published: March 2024

This is a case report of a developmentally healthy 14-month-old female with partial thickness scald burns at multiple sites (the face, trunk, and bilateral upper extremities) that covered 14% of her total body surface area. Novel procedural pain therapy using intravenous lidocaine and oral ketamine was administered to perform daily wound care with minimal discomfort. Following this daily analgesic protocol there was sufficient analgesia and sedation with no adverse side effects. Currently, there are no studies where this analgesic combination was used during burn wound care and dressing changes in pediatric cases. The success of this protocol in a pediatric case highlights the safety and efficacy of oral ketamine when used in conjunction with intravenous lidocaine which potentially allows for a lower dose per procedure and a reduced risk of adverse effects.

Field, Habitus and Capitals from Narratives of Unemployed Men with Families
Authors: Mendieta-Izquierdo Giovane , Monrroy-Barrero Carlos José , Cuevas-Silva Juan María
Published: March 2024

This article proposes as a transversal axis the analysis of masculinity in unemployed men with families. The aim of this article is to analyse the connotations of field, habitus and capitals based on the narratives of unemployed men with families. In order to answer this question, an interpretative paradigm research with an exploratory multiple qualitative case study design with seven lower middle-class men from Bogotá, Colombia, is proposed. By means of a semi-structured biographical interview in which categorical analysis was carried out after axial coding. In the results, the hegemonic expectations of the male gender are recognised as explicit, which are linked to the ideal of well-being that cannot be fulfilled. Social class is dynamic, maintaining constructed fields and hegemonic gender habitus apprehended and stripped of symbolic capital. These conditions together reveal that masculinity is constructed on the basis of hegemonic expectations of what is expected of men within the social structure.  It generates tension to assume the change of the field, habitus and capitals at the moment of unemployment.
Cuanto Más Presos, Menos Hombres. Autopercepciones y Relaciones Masculinas en una Cárcel de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (Argentina)
Authors: Actis María Florencia
Published: March 2024

El artículo tiene como objetivo conocer y problematizar las formas en que los varones privados de la libertad perciben y re-construyen sus masculinidades a luz de las condiciones de vida intracarcelarias, y de su participación en un espacio de reflexión sobre género. Se trabajó a partir de una metodología participativa y de un dispositivo educativo que no sólo permitió el encuentro con/entre varones, sino que también interpeló sus masculinidades de modos específicos. En primer lugar, se pudo relevar una necesidad de los varones de reafirmarse como cis-heterosexuales ante la mirada inmediata de otros presos, y de evitar que su participación en un taller de estas cualidades temáticas ponga en duda su virilidad. En segundo lugar, por ser un espacio educativo proveniente del afuera de la cárcel, representó para muchos una forma de acercarse al paradigma de “hombre” socialmente aceptable, y de cuestionar -al menos de manera circunstancial- la identidad del “preso” en tanto varón “quebrado”. De este modo, es posible concluir que la adecuación a los parámetros masculinos de la cárcel constituye una estrategia para ser reconocido por otros presos y sobrevivir al sistema carcelario, que, inversamente, acentúa sus autopercepciones devaluadas de “hombre”.
Derechos constitucionales y deberes recíprocos. Especial referencia a las relaciones entre particulares y a la doctrina de la state action del derecho norteamericano
Authors: Espinoza-Rausseo Alexander , Rivas-Alberti Jhenny
Published: March 2024

El auge de los derechos individuales ha tenido lugar a costa de algunos de los elementos fundamentales del sistema de protección jurídica. La máxima utilidad individual sirvió para justificar la inmunidad del individuo frente a los derechos de los demás y, en lugar de los deberes recíprocos de los individuos, se atribuyó al Estado la titularidad de los deberes de protección y no interferencia. Nos preguntamos si es el Estado el verdadero titular de la obligación correlativa de los derechos constitucionales. Por otra parte, es objeto de controversia cuál es el papel que juegan los intereses generales en el derecho privado. Sostendremos que la estructura del sistema de protección jurídica del individuo no puede reducirse al tradicional esquema entre los derechos individuales y el Estado, sino que debe comprender además como elementos correlativos a los deberes sociales y públicos de cada uno.
¿Qué hay de la lengua de enseñanza en España a 45 años de Constitución? Una reflexión por la concordia (lingüística) en Constitución
Authors: López Castillo Antonio
Published: March 2024

En el cuadragésimo quinto aniversario de la constitución del pluralismo lingüístico, mediante previsión de un flexible modelo conjuntivo de la lengua española oficial del Estado y otras lenguas españolas de habilitada declaración estatutaria de oficialidad, se trata de hacer balance del grado relativo de ajuste a las exigencias del modelo de conjunción lingüística en la enseñanza, jurisprudencialmente caracterizado mediante un acervo doctrinal expresivo de la especificidad del modelo. Se analiza críticamente el actual estado de la cuestión. Y se concluye planteando una alternativa reasunción de la plena condición docente de la lengua española de uso (más) común en España o, en otro caso, la apertura de un debate a propósito del futuro del vigente modelo constitucional.

Authors: Delgado Idarreta José Miguel
Published: March 2024

La revista anual Logroño Ilustrado nació en 1920. En el año 1921 tomó el nombre definitivo de Rioja Industrial. Fue fundada por los hermanos Notario, dueños de la Imprenta Artes Gráficas Industriales. Nació en los años finales de la Restauración, y perduró a lo largo de la dictadura de Primo de Rivera, Segunda República, y Franquismo. Solo dejó de publicarse en los años de la guerra civil (1937-1939), además de en 1924, 1942 y 1944. Se financió con los anuncios que aparecían principalmente en la primera y tercera parte de la revista. La segunda parte estaba dedicada a los trabajos de los ocios culturales, deportivos y festivos. Por ello, nos fijaremos en aspectos como toros, cine, teatro, música, artes, deportes y fiestas que proyectan a la sociedad desde el ocio en los años del franquismo entre 1940 y la desaparición de la revista en 1969.
Non-linear AUV Controller Design Using Logic-Based Switching PID Control
Authors: Sewell Tazden , Padayachee Jared , Snedden Glen C.
Published: March 2024

The inspection of pipes without stopping pipeline operations is of industrial interest due to the inherent economic benefits. A pipe inspection robot design is proposed together with a suitable motion controller. The proposed robot is an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) architecture that does not require shunting, draining or unearthing pipework for inspection purposes. This posed the challenge of controlling the AUV through a narrow pipe where manouvers are restricted. A set of general non-linear equations of motion were identified and refined using existing research and strip theory. The non-linear analytical model was implemented in Simulink to enable real-time monitoring and controller tuning. A non-linear controller based on a combination of classical PID theory and switching logic was developed to control the platform. The controller was transplanted into a Hardware-in-Loop (HIL) testing model developed with the Arduino and Simulink software suites. Pool tests measuring the parameters pitch and yaw angles showed that when operated independently with a 5° input, the maximum overshoot was 0.5° or 10% of the command value with a maximum angular velocity of 1.25°/s. When operated simultaneously, the overshoot rose to 30% with a constant error in the region of 1° over the target. Distance readings conducted with ultrasonic sensors to the pipe wall showed constant Sway-Heave bias errors from the centerline as −5 mm, and 4 mm, respectively, with an error range of 4 mm / −7 mm for Sway and 6 mm/ −4 mm for Heave. Pitch and heave motions were up to 18% faster than yaw and sway motions due to actuator orientation, with speeds of 6.25°/s and 40.57 mm/s, respectively. Despite the turbulence present during tests, the controller successfully drove the AUV to target positions through active flow and presented a reasonable basis for further refinement.
Growth in turbine size and technological development of modern commercial large scale wind turbines in Türkiye
Authors: Bilgili Mehmet , Alphan Hakan , Aktaş Arif Emre
Published: March 2024

In this study, in addition to the recent advances and tendencies in wind turbine technology around the world, the progress of commercial wind turbine technology installed in Turkey was also thoroughly examined. In this respect, several metrics for installed wind turbines including number of turbines, installed power capacity (MW), mean rated capacity (MW), mean rotor diameter (m), mean specific power capacity (W/m2), and mean hub height (m) have been obtained between the years of 2011 and 2019. According to the obtained results, the mean rated capacity of Turkey’s annual installed wind turbines advanced from 1.86 MW in 2011 to 3.52 MW in 2019. However, the mean specific power of yearly installed wind turbines declined from 423.7 W/m2 to 314.1 W/m2. Outcomes revealed that the growth in the size and the reduction in the specific power have contributed to the tendency of higher power outputs, and wind turbine capacity factor and power generation capacity have been on the rise in Turkey. In time, wind turbines with greater rotor diameters and hubs started to show up more observable on land. For that purpose, the proposed solution to regulate turbine visibility during site selection is the potential visibility model (PVM), which is meant to be used as an auxiliary variable.

Evaluation of the post-coital anti-fertility activity of Michelia champaca linn. aerial extract in female Wistar rat
Authors: Devi Seema , Mohan Chander
Published: March 2024

Background: The plant M. champaca L., commonly known as Champa, has traditionally been utilized for its medicinal properties, particularly in women's health, for managing sterility and birth control. Previous literature primarily focuses on the anti-fertility activity of leaf extracts, while limited research has explored the potential of other aerial parts, such as the bark and flowers. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the female anti-fertility actions of various aerial parts (including leaves, branches, bark, and flowers) of the M. champaca plant, expanding our understanding beyond the previously studied leaf extracts. Material and Method: The petroleum ether (PEAEMC), ethyl alcohol (EAEMC), and chloroform water (AAEMC) extracts of aerial parts of M. champaca at doses of 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg were administered to female Wistar rats by using an experimental model, i.e., anti-implantation and estrogenic/Anti-estrogenic activity. Result: All three extracts showed significant anti-implantation activity (p<0.01). Among all, only EAEMC Showed activity corresponding to the standard. EAEME caused an increase in the vaginal opening size and increased height and width of the endometrium in immature ovariectomized female rats; it showed an estrogen-like action when given alone, however when given along with Ethinylestradiol, it showed anti-estrogenic action. Conclusion: It was observed that EAEMC (the Ethyl alcohol extract of M. champaca) showed dose dependent anti-fertility activity. The chemical constituents like steroids, alkaloids, and flavonoids identified from the photochemical screening may be responsible for the anti-fertility activity of the aerial parts of M. champaca L.
Clinical investigations to calculate nuchal translucency using F-LNET
Authors: Chaudhari Kalyani , Oza Shruti
Published: March 2024

Background: According to ongoing research, assessing nuchal translucency (NT) in ultrasound pictures can help to identify fetal development that deviates from the norm. The chance of chromosomal abnormalities in a newborn is predicted by the nuchal translucency (NT) width in ultrasound sonography pictures performed on the child between 11 and 14 weeks of gestation. Method: Deeply learned convolutional networks have recently significantly improved NT region detection performance. This paper discusses a novel approach to learning a cutting-edge NT Region identification algorithm. To address the difficulty of improving the accuracy of NT recognition in various lighting and posture conditions, a Framework Learning Network (F-LNET) is employed. Discussion: The limitations of the current NT estimating technique include findings that are unpredictable and intra-personal, inter-personal, and inter-variation restrictions. On the other hand, existing solutions have a high processing overhead and are, hence, unsuitable for rapid NT limiting and localization, which is critical for reliable recognition. However, current methods could be better for quick NT limiting and localization, which is essential for trustworthy identification schemes because of their significant processing overhead. The suggested automated clinical finding approach, which computes the error between human and automated measurements, is very beneficial to both doctors and society at large. Conclusion: The suggested way reduces the error to 0.42, whereas the error of other methods ranges from 0.8 to 1.1.

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibit significant deficits in social communication and emotion regulation skills. While cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) applications appear promising, trials to date have largely excluded social communication skill development and have not been designed to include a wider range of emotional challenges. To our knowledge, the present study is the first to pilot a uniquely modified CBT program targeting emotion regulation, including social communication training, and explicitly focusing on the child’s areas of circumscribed interest in order to teach skills and promote generalization. Forty participants were randomly assigned to either the CBT group or a waitlist control (WLC) group, resulting in 20 school-aged children in each group. The treatment approach was determined to be feasible and acceptable, and therapy engagement and attendance were reasonably high. Caregivers expressed high satisfaction with the program, qualitatively citing gains in skills such as social problem-solving, emotion identification, and identifying and processing cognitive distortions. The primary outcome of postintervention changes was not significantly different between the groups (CBT vs. WLC). The mean Social Skills Improvement System score decreased by 0.44 points (95% confidence interval [CI]: −5.04, 4.15) in the CBT group and increased by 0.41 points (95% CI: −4.23, 5.04) in the WLC group, and the postintervention changes were not significantly different between the groups (difference: −0.85; 95% CI: −7.29, 5.60;p= .79). The estimated rate of emotional dysregulation episodes decreased by a factor of 0.94 (95% CI: 0.57, 1.56) in the CBT group and increased by a factor of 1.07 (95% CI: 0.51, 2.24) for WLC (p= .74). Among those who reported emotional dysregulation episodes, the mean duration decreased by 1.39 minutes (95% CI: −3.90, 6.67) less for CBT than waitlist (p= .60). Although satisfaction, acceptability, and emotional dysregulation outcome results from this preliminary CBT treatment for ASD are promising, sample size and measurement limitations will be important considerations to inform future trials.
