Background
A One Health approach has been increasingly mainstreamed by the international community, as it provides the holistic thinking in recognizing the close links and inter-dependence of the health of humans, animals and the environment. The dearth of real-world evidence has hampered application of a One Health approach in shaping policies and practice. A consolidated evaluation tool is urgently needed for valid assessment of One Health approaches.
Methods
We develop the Global One Health Index (GoHi) by five steps, including framework formulation, indicator selection, database building, weight determination and GoHi scores calculation. A Cell-like Framework for GoHi is proposed, which comprises an External Driver Index (EDI), an Intrinsic Driver Index (IDI) and a Core Driver Index (CDI). We construct the indicator scheme for GoHi based on this framework after multiple rounds of panel discussions with our Expert Advisory Committee. A Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) is adopted to determine the weights for indicators.
Results
The weighted indicator scheme of GoHi comprises 3 first-level indicators, 13 second-level indicators, and 57 third-level indicators. The results from a pilot analysis are consistent with the results from a literature review, which suggests the feasibility of GoHi as a tool for the assessment of global One Health performance. GoHi is the world’s first evaluation tool that constructs the conceptual framework from a holistic perspective of One Health, and captures the data from more than 200 countries/ territories for empirical analysis. The application of GoHi will promote a common understanding of a strong One Health approach and provide a means for identifying gaps and promoting effective measures to strengthen One Health capacity building.
Conclusions
We propose GoHi as a potential systematic evaluation tool for global One Health approaches. With further adaptations in various scenarios, GoHi along with its technical protocols and databases, will be updated regularly to address current technical limitations, and capture new knowledge. Meanwhile, stronger political endorsement and facilitation are essential for the development of One Health policies, practice and research.
Universe: the dynamics of the minimum and maximum expansion states
Authors: Petrakis Sócrates Georges
Published: March 2022

Two proposals stand out in describing the evolution of the Universe; the predominant one predicts that the current expansion began at a certain instant and will not preserve a variation of energy that performs work; an apparent flat Universe (Ω = 1) is advocated by relativistic calculations and observational data, with an end at its maximum expansion (3D Space); the other proposal considers that the Universe is cyclical, always alternating phases of expansion and contraction. This article aims to demonstration that these two perspectives can be correct by not being distinct, but complementary. Supported by the immutability of physical laws, analyses of concepts define an exclusive presence of 1D Space in static states of minimum and maximum expansion of the Universe. With our Universe (3D Space) created and existing between these extreme states, each dynamic is highlighted and completes the usual relativity. The concept of absolute rest energy (1D Space) become applicable; thus, the complete evolution of the Universe is described as spatially dynamic in a perpetual time dimension, always recreating our Universe, and making possible a relative maintenance of any existence.
Asymmetric power dissipation in electronic transport through a quantum point contact
Authors: Blaas-Anselmi Carmen , Helluin Félix , Jalabert Rodolfo , Weick Guillaume , Weinmann Dietmar
Published: March 2022

We investigate the power dissipated by an electronic current flowing through a quantum point contact in a two-dimensional electron gas. Based on the Landauer-B\"uttiker approach to quantum transport, we evaluate the power that is dissipated on the two sides of the constriction as a function of the Fermi energy, temperature, and applied voltage. We demonstrate that an asymmetry appears in the dissipation, which is most pronounced when the quantum point contact is tuned to a conductance step where the transmission strongly depends on energy. At low temperatures, the asymmetry is enhanced when the temperature increases. An estimation for the position of the maximum dissipation is provided.

Authors: Contessi Daniele , Ricci Elisa , Recati Alessio , Rizzi Matteo
Published: March 2022

The detection of phase transitions in quantum many-body systems with lowest possible prior knowledge of their details is among the most rousing goals of the flourishing application of machine-learning techniques to physical questions. Here, we train a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) with the Entanglement Spectrum of a system bipartition, as extracted by means of Matrix Product States ansätze. We are able to identify gapless-to-gapped phase transitions in different one-dimensional
models by looking at the machine inability to reconstruct outsider data with respect to the training set. We foresee that GAN-based methods will become instrumental in anomaly detection schemes applied to the determination of phase-diagrams.

Published: March 2022

High-yield ZnO spheroidal nanoparticles with an average diameter around 23 nm (≈ 25% frequency) and 30 nm (≈ 28% frequency) were obtained by controlled semicontinuous precipitation at low temperatures. This synthesis was obtained from hydrozincite (Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6) as primary nanoparticles. The Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6 nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrolysis of Zn(NO3)2 in aqueous solution of (NH4)2CO3 and later, the precipitation becomes. Two temperatures of 60 and 70 °C in combination with three times of reaction were tested; followed by calcination of the precipitate at 400 °C. This range of sizes of nanoparticles is comparable with those obtained by other methods reported in the literature, such as microemulsions, however, here the advantage was not using solvents or surfactants. The ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy coupled to a scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDS), transmission electronic microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction. The antibacterial activity of the films against Gram-positive (S. aureus) and Gram-negative (E. coli.) bacteria was investigated using the disc diffusion method. The best results were found in the inhibition zone for Gram-positive bacteria, when the concentration of ZnO NPs incorporated was 3 mg disc-1.

Published: March 2022

Due to the large amount of water supply, the water level difference between mid-layer water and shallow water increases. There is no authoritative answer whether there is a hydraulic connection between shallow and mid-layer water. Therefore, a clear understanding of hydrogeochemical characteristics and the water chemical connection of them is indispensable for groundwater protection and the safety of water supply. The results of the statistical analysis showed that shallow and mid-layer water were both neutral water. The content of SO42−, Cl− and Na+ in both exceeded the grade III standard limit in the Standard for Groundwater Quality of China. Piper diagram revealed shallow water was mainly of Na + Mg + HCO3− and Mg + Na + HCO3− type, and mid-layer water was mainly of Na + Mg + HCO3− + SO42− and Na + Mg + HCO3− type. Besides, using the coefficient variations method of comprehensive water quality index (pH, TDS, F−, and NO3−), it is found that except for a local area with thin thickness (less than 5 m) of the first aquiclude, the mid-layer water was not affected by shallow water in Sulin mining area. This study may be helpful for the safety of water supply in the study area and other mining areas in the Huaibei coalfield.

Published: March 2022

In this study, a novel adsorbent (SRM-ZnO) was prepared using zinc oxide supported on red mud in a seawater medium and was used for the adsorption of methyl orange (MO). It is expected to solve the recycling of red mud and prepare an economical adsorbent with high efficiency to adsorb dye wastewater. Material composition and morphology analyses showed that hydrotalcite compounds were attached on the surface of SRM-ZnO. The hydrotalcite compounds can increase the surface area of the modified red mud and thus increase the adsorption capacity of MO. The adsorption of MO dye on modified red mud conforms to the Temkin isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption behavior mainly includes physical interaction, supplemented with chemical interactions. Result also found that the adsorption of MO on SRM-ZnO is a spontaneous exothermic process.
Feasibility evaluation on using the ORP to better monitor generator internal cooling water system

Published: March 2022

Inadequate monitoring of the generator internal cooling water (GICW) system is one of the root causes for the system failure in nuclear, thermal and hydraulic power plants. The feasibility of using the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of GICW to better monitor the system statuses, GICW slight-alkalization and typical system abnormalities were evaluated on our dynamic simulation test device. During the process of GICW slight-alkalization, the ORP decreases linearly as the pH value increases with high correlation R2 of 0.9996, which is far more sensitive than the open-circuit potential (OCP) proposed in previous studies. This indication of sensitivity is attributed to the chemical inertness of the electrode in the GICW, thus ensuring its stable surface characteristic. Meanwhile, the two most common system abnormalities, CO2 leakage and DO decrease, were simulated. The results demonstrate that the ORP can keenly diagnose these two abnormalities, from their occurrences to their handling. Further, a more comprehensive specification of GICW oxidation property characterized as the ORP was obtained for guiding the field operation. In conclusion, it is feasible to use the ORP to better monitor GICW system statuses. This study proposes a promising parameter that can be used to improve current inadequate GICW system monitoring.
Developing a method for recovering data on storage media
Authors: Zamolotskikh V. S. , Sidorenko V. G.
Published: March 2022

Aim. The development of digital technology brings about the need to digitize data with their subsequent storage on digital media. Regardless of how information is stored, it is of value and its loss may cause harm. There are a number of preventive measures (hardware and logical redundancy of various types) to prevent such loss. Should the preventive measures – due to certain reasons and circumstances – fail to protect the data and access to the latter was lost, it must be recovered in a complete and timely manner. In this context, a need arises for a data recovery algorithm that would take into account the hardware features of today’s storage media, their logical structure, as well as the specificity of the stored data. Methods. There are two approaches to information recovery, i.e., all-purpose and personal. The all-purpose approach involves using a minimal number of programs and tools that work with all items. The personal approach implies a large number of programs and tools that address specific issues associated with the loss of access to information. That enables a faster, higher-quality recovery as compared to the all-purpose approach. Additionally, personal programs are normally cheaper than all-purpose software. All-purpose information recovery tools do not provide quality results when applied to large numbers of failure scenarios. A single utility may not be enough for resolving all issues caused by an incident. A readily available template for obtaining an acceptable result does not exist either. Aside from personal software, there are other alternatives to the all-purpose approach, i.e., the manual data recovery programs and hardware and software systems. In cases of minor logical faults (master boot record corruption) manual data recovery software is used. If a drive is affected by critical hardware issues, hardware and software systems are used. Results. A method of recovering data on storage media of various types was created. It includes an all-purpose and a personal approaches to information recovery, use of software for manual data recovery, as well as hardware and software systems. The method allows recovering data of popular extensions from common file systems and storage media. Compatibility with RAID arrays of all levels is provided. Programs were selected out of eight sets using the analytic hierarchy process with the priority given to the performance criterion. The method was submitted to a number of tests. Testing involved emulation of incidents associated with the loss of access to data. The cost of eliminating various incidents using the developed methodology is estimated. Conclusions. Based on the obtained test results, conclusions are set forth regarding the efficiency of the personal approach to information recovery.
The “Just Once” and “Once for Ever” of the Word of God
Authors: Zatwardnicki Sławomir
Published: March 2022

The text asks the question about the role of the Word of God in connection with Pascha and its being made present in the liturgy. The article first refers to Joseph Ratzinger’s theology of liturgy. According to the Bavarian theologian, in Christian worship the historical event of the Passover (“just once”) corresponds to its continuous actuality (“once for ever”). The essence of Jesus’ words and actions – as the Son of the Father – at the Last Supper remains always present. It is then shown that the inspired writings can only be understood in connection with the words of institution at the Last Supper. The privileged time for listening to the word of God is the liturgy, during which Christ-the Lamb becomes the Exegete who opens up the deepest sense of Scripture (“Eucharistic hermeneutics”). An analogy is then presented between the entry of the past Passover into the present of the liturgy and the actualization of the events witnessed in the inspired books. This kind of “making present” is related to the sacramental transformation of the Jewish scriptures and feasts that Christ accomplished. The historical experience is not recreated, but recapitulated in the Eucharistic Passover. In the Blessed Sacrament Christ is also present in the spoken (and written under inspiration) word. In turn, the liturgy of the word is the verbal aspect of the sacramental action.

Published: March 2022

O referido trabalho tem como objetivo verificar por meio de simulações com algoritmos base dos reguladores OLTC (on-load tap changer) e LDC (load tap changer) a equivalência em termos de simulação de ambos os reguladores. A simulação baseou-se em, por meio da modelagem matemática de ambos os métodos, criar scripts e simulá-los utilizando um problema genérico de fluxo de carga como sistema teste, comparando os valores dos tap’s obtidos por meio de cada método, podendo assim, verificar tal equivalência. A simulação do sistema teste foi realizada no software Matlab®. Realizada as simulações, foi possível inferir a equivalência em termos de simulação dos algoritmos de ambos os reguladores para o sistema teste utilizado, uma vez que em todas as simulações realizadas, os tap’s do método OLTC apresentaram valores idênticos aos simulados por meio do método LDC. Simulações como está demonstram a viabilidade de estudos aprofundados em algoritmos de fluxo de carga. Todavia, faz-se necessário o aperfeiçoamento de simulações em sistemas testes de maior magnitude a fim a de verificar a equivalência em questão, bem como a implicância delas nos referidos sistemas.

Background:

Lipid nanocarriers have great potential for the encapsulation and delivery of
numerous bioactive compounds. They have demonstrated significant benefits over traditional disease
management and conventional therapy. The benefits associated with the particular properties of lipid
nanocarriers include site-specific drug deposition, improved pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics,
enhanced internalization and intracellular transport, biodegradability, and decreased biodistribution.
These properties result in the alleviation of the harmful consequences of conventional treatment protocols.

Scope and approach:

The administration of various bioactive molecules has been extensively investigated
using nanostructured lipid carriers. In this article, theranostic applications of novel formulations of
lipid nanocarriers combined or complexed with quantum dots, certain polymers, such as chitosan, and
metallic nanoparticles (particularly gold) are reviewed. These formulations have demonstrated better
controlled release features, improved drug loading capability, as well as a lower burst release rate. As a
recent innovation in drug delivery, tocosomes and their unique advantages are also explained in the final
section of this review.

Key findings and conclusions:

Theranostic medicine requires nanocarriers with improved target-specific
accumulation and bio-distribution. To this end, lipid-based nanocarrier systems and tocosomes combined
with unique properties of quantum dots, biocompatible polymers, and metallic nanoparticles seem
to be ideal candidates to be considered for safe and efficient drug delivery.

Analysis of Aqueous Dextran: An Ultrasonic Study
Authors: Panda Subhraraj
Published: March 2022

Background:

Ultrasonic research can be used to recognise molecular connections and
the structural behaviour of molecules. The combination of ultrasonic velocity, density, and viscosity
data provides a plethora of information regarding ion interactions, dipoles, hydrogen bonding,
multi-polar, and dispersive forces.

Objective:

This study aimed to determine the molecular interaction between solute dextran of different
concentrations and distilled water as a solvent. The “ultrasonic speed (U), density (ρ), and
viscosity (η)” at 323 K have been determined at four different frequencies, i.e., “1MHz, 5MHz,
9MHz, and 12 MHz”. The derived acoustical parameters, such as “acoustic impedance (Z), adiabatic
compressibility (β), intermolecular free length (Lf), relaxation time (τ), Gibb’s free energy
(ΔG),” have been determined from the experimental data. The significance is given to the subjective
data with respect to the nature and quality of the interactions of the particles between solute
and solvent in the liquids solutions.

Methods:

The density was measured by a specific gravity bottle, viscosity by Ostwald’s viscometer,
and ultrasonic velocity through an ultrasonic interferometer of the solution. Moreover, the
thermo-acoustic parameters were calculated using the measured parameters.

Results:

Ultrasonic wave propagation affects the physical properties of the medium and hence
furnishes information on the physics of liquid and solution. The measured parameters like ultrasonic
velocity, density, and viscosity have been used to understand the solute-solute and solutesolvent
interactions in the solution containing dextran with water.

Conclusion:

The effect of frequency on thermo-acoustic parameters has been studied. The nature
of the forces between molecules, such as hydrogen bonds, charge transfer complexes, and breaking
of hydrogen bonds and complexes, has been interpreted from the above studies.
A Novel Powerful Choline Chloride - Thiourea/Sulfuric Acid: An Efficient
and Recyclable Catalyst Used for the Microwave-assisted Synthesis of
Quinazolin- 4(3H)-one Derivatives Used as Antibacterial Agents in Green
Media
Authors: Foroughifar Naser , Norouzi Fateme Haji , Khajeh-Amiri Alireza , Pasdar Hoda
Published: March 2022

Background:

Choline chloride-thiourea/sulfuric acid is a powerful and efficient green
catalyst used for one-pot synthesis of quinazoline-4 (3H)-one derivatives via a reaction between
various amines, acetic anhydride, and anthranilic acid under microwave irradiation and solventfree
conditions (4a-q). Microwave irradiation, which is a faster, more cost-effective, less energyintensive,
and more efficient method than conventional heating, has been used to synthesize some
quinazolinone derivatives.

Introduction:

For the past ten years, one of the major subjects in synthetic organic chemistry has
been green synthesis, which has used efficient and environmentally friendly methods to synthesize
biological compounds. The use of catalysts has significant advantages, including ease of preparation
and separation, chemical and thermal stability, and environmental friendliness due to features
such as reusability, low cost, and efficient and easy workup techniques. Therefore, the mechanism
is performed by a non-toxic organic catalyst that uses the least amount of energy and chemical
reactants in accordance with the principles of green chemistry and the least waste.

Methods:

One-pot and sequential addition methods have been used to synthesize quinazolinone
derivatives. In the sequential addition method, the reaction was started by adding acetic anhydride
and anthranilic acid to the reaction vessel under microwave irradiation and continued by adding
choline chloride thiourea/sulfuric acid as efficient, recyclable green catalysts and the desired
amine. In vitro, the well diffusion method against different pathogenic strains was used to evaluate
the antimicrobial activity of quinazoline-4 (3H)-one derivatives. Pathogenic strains used were
Candida albicans ATCC 10231 (yeast), Aspergillus niger ATCC 16404 (fungus), Escherichia coli
ATCC 8739, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027 (bacteria) and ATCC 6538, and Staphylococcus
aureus S. epidermidis ATCC 12228. Pyrimidine-containing compounds, in which the 3-
hydroxyl, 2,5-dimethoxy, 4-bromo, 4‐methoxy, and 4‐chloro groups are attached to the phenyl
ring of pyrimidine, exhibit antimicrobial properties.

Results:

In a short reaction time, a variety of biologically active quinazolinone derivatives were
synthesized with high efficiency. According to the results, it was found that with aliphatic amines,
the reaction time was shorter, and the reaction efficiency was higher. Products synthesized from
aromatic amines had more antibacterial properties.

Conclusion:

In this work, a variety of 2-methyl-quinazoline-4 (3H)-one derivatives (4a–q) were
synthesized as potent antibacterial agents under microwave irradiation and solvent-free conditions
in the presence of ChCl-thiourea/H2SO4 as an efficient, eco-friendly, and recyclable catalyst.

Authors: Grewal Udhayvir Singh , Gupta Arjun , Doggett Jamie , Lou Emil , Gusani Niraj J , Maitra Anirban , Beg Muhammad Shaalan , Ocean Allyson J
Published: March 2022

Background

 There is a growing interest in the pattern of consumption of health-related information on social media platforms.

Objective

We evaluated the content of discussions around pancreatic cancer on Twitter to identify subtopics of greatest interest to health care providers and the general public. 

Methods

 We used an online analytical tool (Creation Pinpoint) to quantify Twitter mentions (tweets and retweets) related to pancreatic cancer between January 2018 and December 2019. Keywords, hashtags, word combinations, and phrases were used to identify mentions. Health care provider profiles were identified using machine learning and then verified by a human analyst. Remaining user profiles were classified as belonging to the general public. Data from conversations were stratified qualitatively into 5 domains: (1) prevention, (2) survivorship, (3) treatment, (4) research, and (5) policy. We compared the themes of conversations initiated by health care providers and the general public and analyzed the impact of the Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month and announcements by public figures of pancreatic cancer diagnoses on the overall volume of conversations. 

Results

 Out of 1,258,028 mentions of pancreatic cancer, 313,668 unique mentions were classified into the 5 domains. We found that health care providers most commonly discussed pancreatic cancer research (10,640/27,031 mentions, 39.4%), while the general public most commonly discussed treatment (154,484/307,449 mentions, 50.2%). Health care providers were found to be more likely to initiate conversations related to research (odds ratio [OR] 1.75, 95% CI 1.70-1.79, P<.001) and prevention (OR 1.49, 95% CI 1.41-1.57, P<.001) whereas the general public took the lead in the domains of treatment (OR 1.63, 95% CI 1.58-1.69, P<.001) and survivorship (OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.13-1.21, P<.001). Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month did not increase the number of mentions by health care providers in any of the 5 domains, but general public mentions increased temporarily in all domains except prevention and policy. Health care provider mentions did not increase with announcements by public figures of pancreatic cancer diagnoses. After Alex Trebek, host of the television show Jeopardy, received his diagnosis, general public mentions of survivorship increased, while Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s diagnosis increased conversations on treatment. 

Conclusions

Health care provider conversations on Twitter are not aligned with the general public. Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month temporarily increased general public conversations about treatment, research, and survivorship, but not prevention or policy. Future studies are needed to understand how conversations on social media platforms can be leveraged to increase health care awareness among the general public.
Workplace Reintegration Facilitator Training Program for Mental Health Literacy and Workplace Attitudes of Public Safety Personnel: Pre-Post Pilot Cohort Study
Authors: Jones Chelsea , Smith-MacDonald Lorraine , Pike Ashley , Bright Katherine , Bremault-Phillips Suzette
Published: March 2022

Background

Public safety personnel (PSP) impacted by operational stress injuries can find themselves needing both time off work and support reintegrating back into the workforce. Work reintegration programs have been introduced in PSP organizations to support those who aim to return to work. One such peer-led workplace reintegration program (RP) was created in 2009 by members of the Edmonton Police Service (EPS). The primary goal of the EPSRP is to assist PSP in returning to work as soon as possible following a critical incident, illness, or injury while diminishing the potential for long-term psychological injury. The EPSRP is delivered by peers through 3 interrelated components: (1) the Reintegration Program Facilitator Training (RPFT) Program; (2) a short-term Critical Incident RP; and (3) a long-term RP. There is a dire need for research that incorporates strong study designs to the determine long-term effectiveness of the program on increasing workplace reintegration, improving mental health knowledge, and creating culture change within PSP organizations. Simultaneously, the efficacy, effectiveness, and fidelity of the RPFT in providing the tools, mental health knowledge, and skills the RP peer facilitators will need for the RP must be evaluated.

Objective

The purpose of this quasi-experimental pre-post pilot cohort study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the EPSRPFT course on influencing mental health knowledge and attitudes of RPFT attendees who will be future RP peer facilitators.

Methods

This pre-post cohort study collected data via 2 questionnaires from RPFT participants (N=60) which included the Mental Health Knowledge Survey (MAKS) and the Open Minds Survey of Workplace Attitudes (OMSWA). Descriptive, parametric (sample t tests), and nonparametric (Wilcoxon signed rank tests) statistics were used to compare the pre- and post-RPFT results and to analyze results by gender and profession.

Results

Statistically significant changes were observed in pre-post questionnaire scores in the domains of mental health attitudes and knowledge.

Conclusions

Although results are explorative, the RPFT may facilitate positive changes in workplace mental health attitudes and knowledge among PSP. It is hoped these findings will contribute to a broader evidence base that can inform changes to the program, practices, and policies, and inform decision-making regarding the EPSRP.
Prevalence of postoperative anemia and associated factors among adult patients who undergone surgery during COVID 19 Era (Preprint)
Authors: Seid Shimelis , Adane Habtu
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND

Background: Anemia maximizes the risk of oxygen deprivation; as well it increases the risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality. There are low levels of evidence regarding postoperative anemia prevalence in developing countries. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of postoperative anemia and associated factors among post-surgical patients at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, in Northern Ethiopia.

OBJECTIVE

To determine the prevalence of postoperative anemia and associated factors among adult patients who undergone surgery at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northern Ethiopia, from April 1 to August 30, 2021.

METHODS

Hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted on surgical patients and data was collected by using an interviewer-administered semi-structured questionnaire. Data entry and analysis were done with SPSS version 23. descriptive data were reported using tables and graphs. Bivariable and multivariable analysis was performed to determine whether each of the independent variables is associated with the outcome variable.

RESULTS

A total of 409 surgical adult patients were included in this study. The hemoglobin test result revealed that 203 (49.6 %) of the participants were anemic during discharge. Based on this study; patients aged above 50 years, unemployed in occupation, patients who had a history of preoperative anemia, ASA IV physical status, emergency surgery, intraoperative blood loss greater than 500 ml, and hospital length of stay above two weeks were significantly associated with postoperative anemia

CONCLUSIONS

: Among the study participants, 49.6 % of the adult surgical patients developed postoperative anemia. Therefore; clinicians should be familiar with the risk factors of postoperative anemia to minimize complications and to improve the patient’s perioperative quality of life.

Acute Kidney Injury in Critically Ill Patients with Cancer
Authors: Gupta Shruti , Gudsoorkar Prakash , Jhaveri Kenar D.
Published: March 2022

Advances in cancer therapy have significantly improved overall patient survival; however, AKI remains a common complication in patients with cancer, occurring in anywhere from 11% to 22% of patients, depending on patient-related or cancer-specific factors. Critically ill patients with cancer as well as patients with certain malignancies (e.g., leukemias, lymphomas, multiple myeloma, and renal cell carcinoma) are at highest risk of developing AKI. AKI may be a consequence of the underlying malignancy itself or from the wide array of therapies used to treat it. Cancer-associated AKI can affect virtually every compartment of the nephron and can present as subclinical AKI or as overt acute tubular injury, tubulointerstitial nephritis, or thrombotic microangiopathy, among others. AKI can have major repercussions for patients with cancer, potentially jeopardizing further eligibility for therapy and leading to greater morbidity and mortality. This review highlights the epidemiology of AKI in critically ill patients with cancer, risk factors for AKI, and common pathologies associated with certain cancer therapies, as well as the management of AKI in different clinical scenarios. It highlights gaps in our knowledge of AKI in patients with cancer, including the lack of validated biomarkers, as well as evidence-based therapies to prevent AKI and its deleterious consequences.
China’s Currency Sterilization and Fiscal Centralization
Authors: Jin Hailong
Published: March 2022

During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Chinese economy experienced painful tradeoffs between high economic growth and low inflation: stimulating GDP growth would cause severe inflation spikes, while controlling inflation rates would seriously contract GDP growth. In 1994, the Chinese government initiated a series of macroeconomic reforms to revitalize the Chinese economy. After that, the inflation dropped steadily and eventually achieved the “soft landing” in 1996. The high GDP growth rate has also been stabilized. This research elucidates two core components embedded in China’s 1994 program: currency sterilization and fiscal (revenue) centralization. The results suggest that classic economic models with nominal rigidity postulation may not be compatible with the Chinese economy.

Globalization had attracted millions of students around the world and there is a huge flux of students who are travelling abroad for educational purposes. The aim of these students is to gain education and achieve their dreams. But travelling abroad for education and living in a foreign country is not an easy process. During this educational journey and transition from their home country to host country international students face huge challenges of adaptation and the challenges can be in terms of Academics, socio-cultural, personal, etc. So in order to acheieve the main goal of education, International students must adapt to the new envirnoment of the host country. The study aimed to develop validity and reliability of the International adjustment scale in Turkey. A pool of 100 statements was reduced to 35 after validation resulting in five distinct domains of adjustment, such as Academic adjustment (11), Social adjustment (9), Personal adjustment (6), General Living adjustment (4) and Institutional adjustment (3). The multidimensional adjustment was developed and validated for International students in Turkey.
La música grupera y el diseño gráfico
Authors: Montoya Arias Luis Omar
Published: March 2022

En las siguientes páginas intentaré acercarme a la música grupera (norteña mexicana y banda de viento sinaloense) desde un enfoque novedoso. No me interesa gastar mucha tinta en historias de músicos, intérpretes y compositores, sino en develar algunos elementos asociados con el uso del diseño gráfico en la publicidad que masifica bailes y jaripeos, así como en atender la importancia de fuentes hemerográficas para la escritura de la historia social de la música grupera. Demostraré que la publicidad usada en ferias regionales también es importante.
Ana Montilla y Roberto Villaseñor, coords. Alfredo Pérez Guarneros, ed. Uantanskuechap’urepechajimpo. Cuentos en lengua purépecha. México: CONACULTA, 2015.
Authors: Reyes Baltazar Bertha Citlali
Published: March 2022

El “Concurso Regional de Cuento en Lengua Indígena” fue el primer paso para que se realizará el libro Uantanskuechap’urepechajimpo, una recopilación de textos hechos por escritores de comunidades purépechas. Apoyado por un programa para el reconocimiento de la escritura en lengua hñähñu, jñatrjo, náhuatl y purépecha, y por el esfuerzo de distintas instituciones, el libro forma parte de la Colección de Literatura Indígena.
Se compone de siete relatos en español y en purépecha: “Japinkuajirinantani” (“En busca de la riqueza”) de Elizabeth Pérez, de Zipiajo, Coeneo; “Iuritskiritsitsiki” (“Flor de Orquídea”) de Jesús Santiago, de Ichán; “No ampakitijucharip’ichu” (“Nuestro amigo el diablo”) de Pedro Mariano; “K’eriMitikua” (“Saber supremo”) de autor desconocido; “Niuakarikanumpek’uanatsini” (“Irás y no regresarás”), escrito por Raúl Román, de Cherán; “Jiuatsïka tata Tra”, (“Jiuatsï y tata Tránsito”) de Áurea Ortiz y Juan Carlos Cortés, de Santa Fe, y “Nana Rosita Iurhixioanapu” (“Nana Rosita de Tarecuato”), escrito por Alicia Mateo, de Tarecuato. Estos relatos sitúan al lector en un ambiente rural, en un tiempo anterior al nuestro, pero con una perspectiva del presente y, en algunos casos, del futuro. Textos que describen los trabajos realizados por las personas de las comunidades purépechas y cuyos personajes son los abuelos, el diablo, la mirinkua, los niños y las mujeres; todo contado con un lenguaje cotidiano que remite a las pláticas que surgen alrededor de una fogata, o en las reuniones con los amigos.
