Authors: Krygier Aleksandra , Szczepanek-Parulska Ewelina , Filipowicz Dorota , Ruchała Marek 
Published: February 2020

Introduction
Hepcidin is an acute-phase protein and a key regulator of iron homeostasis. Anaemia frequently occurs in patients with thyroid dysfunction, and hepcidin may be a potential link.

Objectives
Prospective assessment of hepcidin serum concentration and other parameters related to Fe homeostasis in hyperthyroid patients in the course of GD at diagnosis and during remission.

Patients and Methods
Out of the 70 patients recruited, 42 (32 women, 10 men), aged 42.5 ± 15.1 years, met the inclusion criteria. Clinical and biochemical assessment, including hepcidin measurement by ELISA, was performed at baseline (T0) and after restoration of euthyroidism (T1).

Results
Hepcidin concentration at T0 in the 24 patients who completed the study was significantly higher than the value during euthyroidism (28.7 (8.1–39.4) ng/mL vs 7.9 (4.3–12.9) ng/mL, P < 0.001). Hepcidin level was most significantly correlated with ferritin (rho = 0.723) in women at T0. In both men (377 (171–411) vs 165 (84–237) ng/mL, P = 0.001) and women (84 (23–104) vs 35 (16–64) ng/mL, P = 0.001), a significant decrease in ferritin level was demonstrated following therapy. A significant (P < 0.001) increase in mean corpuscular volume (MCV) (83.5 (82.5–87.1) vs 89.5 (88.8–90.0) fL) and mean concentration of haemoglobin (MCH) (29.0 (28.0–29.4) vs 30.4 (29.5–31.1) pg) was observed.

Conclusions
Hepcidin and ferritin decrease significantly during the transition from a hyperthyroid state to euthyroidism in patients with GD. The observed changes occur in parallel to iron homeostasis fluctuations. During the transition from the hyperthyroid state to euthyroidism, the improvement of haematological status is reflected mainly by the increase in MCV and MCH.

Introducción: Las redes sociales permite a los jóvenes estar en contacto con la sociedad y su entorno, gran cantidad del tiempo lo emplean en su uso, buscando aceptación por sus pares. Materiales y Métodos: Investigación descriptiva, transversal, correlacional. La muestra estuvo conformada por 400 estudiantes. La información se recolectó, mediante la utilización de dos cuestionarios. Para la comparación entre las variables, se empleó el coeficiente de correlación de Spearman y Chi cuadrado. Resultados: 354 (88,5%) de los universitarios tienen un dispositivo móvil con conexión a internet; 184 (46%) consultan entre 3 a 4 redes sociales, aproximadamente de 1 a 4 horas diarias 196 (49%). 157 (39.2%) manifestaron no ver afectada la academia por el uso de redes sociales. La salud general, en una escala de 0 a 100, obtuvo una puntuación de 58,5 por los colombianos y de 38,3 en los mexicanos. Discusión: Los jóvenes dedican mayor cantidad de su tiempo en el uso de redes sociales, siendo su interés especial, las relaciones entre pares. Algunos estudios coinciden en que existe una asociación entre el mal uso del internet y problemas de salud físicos y psicosociales. Conclusiones: El comportamiento de uso de las redes sociales y la percepción de calidad de vida es similar en Colombia y en México; además consideran que son usadas moderadamente como herramienta académica y de socialización. Es necesario espacios para compartir con iguales, en los cuales no se necesite de las redes sociales como mediador. Como citar este artículo: Hanna MI, Ocampo MM, Janna NM, Mena MC, Torreglosa LD.

Developed heat-insulating dry mortar mixes for the finishing of aerated concrete walls
Authors: Loganina Valentina , Frolov Mikhail , Fediuk Roman 
Published: February 2020

The paper presents new compositions of lime heat-insulating dry building mixtures, designed specifically for the finishing of aerated concrete, characterised by the presence of a modifying additive based on aluminosilicates and calcium hydrosilicates, as well as highly porous filler – microspheres. The beneficial effect of a modifying additive based on a mixture of aluminosilicates and calcium hydrosilicates with high pozzolanic activity on the structure formation of lime finishing compounds has been established, and is manifest in a decrease in the content of free lime to 28·6%, an increase in plastic strength, and a 2·2 times increase in the softening coefficient. It has been revealed that when using limestone heat-insulating dry construction mixtures of hollow glass microspheres and ash aluminosilicate microspheres, the crack resistance of the resulting coatings increases by reducing shrinkage deformations during the hardening process, increasing the ultimate tensile properties and cohesive strength of the finishing coating, and increasing water resistance by the formation of a composite structure with a closed porosity. Coatings based on the developed dry construction mixture are distinguished by low density and thermal conductivity and high vapour permeability, while possessing a sufficiently high crack resistance and weatherability.
Registries Supporting Self-Regulation in the Construction Industry as an Object of Crime
Authors: Leskova Yuliya , Povarov Iurii 
Published: February 2020

The authors follow the traditional «general-particular» structure and present a systemic study of the problem of considering registers that support self-regulation in construction to be objects of crime (primarily, from the viewpoint of subjective and functional factors). They analyze the concept of a «unified state register» used in criminal legislation, single out and critically assess the «literal» and the «meaning-based» interpretative approaches. Besides, they prove the necessity of the immediate inclusion of a specific register as an object of crime in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and (or) in a special law; they also claim that the legal value of this register should be viewed as the most important criterion during such regulation. The object of a detailed study (its subject and maintenance procedure, contents and legal role, transparency and public authenticity, and others) is every register that supports self-regulation in construction. The authors also draw attention to the fact that only the state register of self-regulatory organizations is subject to the rules of Art. 285.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. As for other — «conditionally public» — registers (register of self-regulatory organization’s members and national registers of specialists), the authors present arguments in favor of criminalizing most dangerous actions connected with the distortion of their data. They conclude that it is necessary to eliminate the ambiguity of interpreting the concept of a register as an object of crime. It is proven that the development of legislation in this area should be connected with the unification of terminology (and its agreement with the cate-gories of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and the inclusion of a specific register in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and (or) a special law as an object of crime.

Published: February 2020

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) co-infections place immense burdens on healthcare systems with particularly diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. TB is high among opportunistic diseases and the most leading cause of death among patients with HIV/AIDS. HIV infection is the most-known risk factor for Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and progression to active disease, which increases the risk of latent TB reactivation by 20-fold. We present a four-year descriptive analysis of TB in people living with HIV in the Bamenda Regional Hospital (BRH) from 2012-2016.
Methods: This was a hospital-based descriptive chart review. We conducted manual reviews of medical records of HIV/TB co-infected patients from June 2017-July 2017 at BRH
Un poeta narrador
Authors: Favela Bustillo Tania 
Published: February 2020

En el presente ensayo me interesa mostrar cómo es que José Watanabe2 se asume como un artesano, un poeta- narrador que va tejiendo los hilos narrativos con el espíritu poético. Para analizar la función del narrador tomé, entre otros textos, el ensayo «El narrador», de Walter Benjamin; en este, Benjamin señala que la narración es una forma artesanal de comunicación. A partir de la reflexión benjaminiana analicé el papel de la fábula y de las parábolas como pivotes de las narraciones de Watanabe, y al mismo tiempo como semillas para el poema. Las semillas que arrojan al margen de la historia que cuentan permitenel nacimiento de la poesía en los poemas; la narración, la historia, es, por decirlo así, la tierra que permite el vuelo de la poesía.
Dimas Arrieta Corazón de viento. Bitácora del explorador
Authors: Trujillo Valverde Said Ilich 
Published: February 2020

El libro está dividido en siete capítulos, en los que se intercalan la narraciónimpersonal de las aventuras don Manuel Eugenio y la bitácora delexplorador, relato en primera persona en la que la voz narrativa se permitereflexionar sobre sus acciones y su relación con el mundo que lo rodea. Loscapítulos impares son los de la narración y en ella el énfasis está puestoen el desarrollo de las acciones. El primer capítulo inicia mucho despuésdel inicio de la primera bitácora y nos ubica de lleno en lo importante: lafundación de Palambla y la misión de don Manuel ahí. Con el correr de las páginas la novela se perfila como una continuadorade la tradición de novelas fundacionales: un patriarca excepcionalque deja una prole numerosa y que acompañado por una mujer de fuertecarácter deja una huella indeleble en la memoria de todos los que los conocen.Pero hay algo que distingue a Corazón de viento y es el gran énfasispuesto en las culturas originarias y cómo Manuel Eugenio es introducidoen estas. Desde los telares que sirven para dar la bienvenida a cada nuevocapítulo hasta el séquito misterioso del Taytay, pasando por el caciqueCosme Chinguel, el mundo no occidental está ahí, siempre presente.
Seis tesis sobre los orígenes teológicos del poder
Authors: Lagunas David 
Published: February 2020

En este ensayo se plantea una reflexión acerca de los orígenes teológicos del poder. La relación entre la religión y el poder más obvia reside en los rituales políticos y en los religiosos. Sin embargo, la alianza entre ambas dimensiones de la cultura va más allá de esta semejanza formal y se extiende hacia varias dimensiones de la religión que reflejan una vinculación con el poder, lo cual me permite pensar heurísticamente sobre el fenómeno religioso.
El ámbar gris como recurso marino en la península de Yucatán, siglo XVI al XIX. Una historia corta
Authors: Victoria Ojeda Jorge 
Published: February 2020

El artículo presenta datos históricos del siglo XVII al XIX, escritos y cartográficos, que indican la presencia de ámbar gris en la costa oriental de la península de Yucatán (México), marcado incluso con el hecho de que una parte de la geografía continental e insular recibió como topónimo el nombre del producto marino. Esa codiciada materia era, seguramente, traficada de manera regional por los españoles, los piratas y por los ingleses asentados en Wallix (Belice), pero su mención también orilló a la Corona hispana a averiguar la posibilidad de conocer su potencial como género explotable en el marco del reformismo económico del siglo XVIII. La ausencia de datos a propósito de ello hace suponer lo fallido del intento. Actualmente, el ámbar gris no se encuentra de manera fácil en las playas debido a la baja poblacional de esos mamíferos pero también a la captura clandestina que propicia la cotizada secreción.

Costumbrismo y tradicionismo: la representación literaria en México y el Perú en el siglo XIX
Authors: Lima Baca Francisco 
Published: February 2020

El propósito de este trabajo es realizar una comparación entre dos modelos estéticos y narrativos en Méxicoy el Perú en el siglo XIX: el costumbrismo y el tradicionismo. Al realizar dicho análisis comparativo podemos entender la forma en que se representó la realidad a través de la ficción en las jóvenes naciones latinoamericanas, en las cuales la literatura sirvió como fundamento para crear un proyecto de identidad nacional en el que la historia, íntimamente vinculada con el tradicionismo peruano, y la representación de las costumbres nacionales, vinculadas con el denominado costumbrismo mexicano, son la pauta para definir una literatura de carácter nacional en cada uno de los países señalados.
Poesía indígena actual: textos que se cantan susurrados en sus lenguas y textos bilingües que se leen
Authors: Rodríguez Monarca Claudia 
Published: February 2020

Referirse a la poesía indígena actual supone tomar en cuenta la variable de la heterogeneidad no solo de los textos, sino también de los modelos de textos que subyacen en las distintas propuestas poéticas. A pesar de esa variedad, proponemos que la poesía indígena actual se canaliza a través de dos tipos de modelos textuales disponibles y vigentes, repertorios que están operando en las distintas culturas, uno de carácter defensivo (esto es, de resistencia y repliegue intracultural) y otro transdiscursivo (de diálogo y despliegue intercultural e interdisciplinar). Los poetas suelen asumir ambas actitudes y transitar de un modelo a otro, desplazamiento propio de los procesos de reterritorialización (simbólica, cultural y geográfica) que les ha tocado experimentar. El corpus considera producciones poéticas andinas actuales (quechua, kichwa, aimara), amazónicas (tikuna, okaína, uitoto, camentsá, ashánica, shuar, bora), guaraní y mapuche.
Calibrating the Todd and Longstaff Mixing Parameter Value for Miscible Finite-Sized Slug WAG Injection for Application on a Field Scale
Authors: Al-Haboobi Zainab I. M. , Christie Michael A. , Graham Alexander J. 
Published: February 2020

Summary
The Todd and Langstaff (1972) mixing parameter (ω) is the most commonly used parameter in black oil reservoir simulators for modeling the effects of viscous fingering on a field scale, as their model is a useful alternative to compositional simulations. Todd and Longstaff (1972) recommended a choice for the value of ω to be ⅔ for secondary miscible gas injection to match the recovery of oil from Blackwell et al. (1959) experiments and ωto be13 for secondary miscible gas injection on a field scale to account for field-scale heterogeneities. Blunt and Christie (1993) extended the model and showed that ω needs to be calibrated for simultaneous water alternating gas (SWAG) injection. They showed that the mixing parameter should be increased to 1 when modeling secondary miscible SWAG injection, and to 0.92 when modeling tertiary miscible SWAG injection. This work is a modification of Blunt and Christie's (1993) work to calibrate the value of ω for miscible finite-sized slug water alternating gas (FSS WAG) injection.
In this paper we focus on the impact of WAG ratio, slug size, and type of recovery on the calibration of Todd and Longstaff's (1972) mixing parameter to highlight the importance of taking this parameter into account when simulating miscible FSS WAG injection using a black oil simulator. The value of ω was computed by matching the solvent concentration and the water saturation profiles from the 1D model against the 2D simulation. The results show that as the slug size increases, the value of ω decreases at different WAG ratios for both secondary and tertiary recovery. The application of the calibrated value of ω on a field scale showed that the value of ω had an impact on the oil recovery and on the total gas and water production, highlighting the importance of an appropriate mixing parameter selection.
Using a Facebook Group to Facilitate Faculty-Student Interactions during Preclinical Medical Education: a Retrospective Survey Analysis
Authors: Henry David S. , Wessinger William D , Meena Nikhil K. , Payakachat Nalin , Gardner Jerad M. , Rhee Sung W 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Background: Strong learner-teacher relationships are associated with more successful learning outcomes. With shortened modular curricula and increased availability of online resources, fostering faculty interaction with preclinical medical students has become more challenging. We sought to enhance learner-teacher relationships by engaging in discussion with preclinical medical students in their own online space. Methods: We utilized a closed Facebook discussion group, where faculty and students voluntarily joined in informal discussions and shared announcements related to their courses. The closed discussion group allowed only participating students and faculty to see others’ posts within the group. This provided a platform to freely interact within the confines of the group while maintaining privacy for the personal Facebook accounts of both faculty and students. We utilized the discussion group through 3 separate organ system-based modules for 14 weeks. Afterward, students were asked to complete an anonymous, voluntary online survey about their experience. Results: 94.1% (160/170) of enrolled second-year medical students joined the voluntary FB discussion group. There were 214 posts, 628 comments, and 4166 reactions in this discussion group during the three modules. Of the students in the group, 74.4% (119/160) responded to the online survey. Overall, students strongly agreed that the Facebook discussion group fostered better rapport with faculty, helped content learning, and improved emotional well-being. Also, they felt more comfortable seeking academic help after using the discussion group. They reported a slight preference for Facebook over email as a medium for asking questions, but no preference for either as a medium for distributing announcements. Students overwhelmingly recommended that the discussion group should be continued in future years. Conclusion: The Facebook discussion group was a free, efficient, and effective method of cultivating the learner-teacher relationship with the preclinical medical students, resulting in reported enhancement of learning and morale.
A community-based randomized trial for the prevention and control of brucellosis among rural populations in Iran: application of the PRECEDE planning model

Published: February 2020

Abstract
Background: Brucellosis is one of the most frequently occurring zoonotic diseases of veterinary and a public health problem in developing countries. It affects human and animal health and has measurable effects on the productive and reproductive performance of livestock. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to develop a community-based intervention program for brucellosis prevention and control. A two-arm parallel cluster randomized controlled trial investigated the effectiveness of the program over six months in a rural population in Ahar, East Azerbaijan, Iran. A total of 16 village health houses were randomly allocated to the intervention and the control groups (eight per arm), and 400 participants were recruited via household health records in the health houses. The PRECEDE model, which is an acronym for Predisposing, Reinforcing and Enabling Constructs in Educational Diagnosis and Evaluation, was used to design, implement, and evaluate the brucellosis prevention and control program. Knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, social support, environmental enabling, and behavioral factors were measured at the baseline and the six-month follow-up. A generalized mixed effects model was used to analyze data. Results: The mean ages (SD) of the intervention and control group respondents were 35.9 (11.87) and 37.28 (11.04) years, respectively. After the six-month intervention, significant between-group differences were found on all PRECEDE variables, adjusted for education, history of brucellosis, and family history of brucellosis. Conclusion: There is a need to consolidate collaborative health and veterinary sector efforts, as well as increase regular vaccination practices and financial resources to support farmers willing to slaughter animals and/or offer slaughter facilities. The present study was able to demonstrate which educational and ecological factors influence behaviors and environments related to brucellosis and, as such, provide evidence of the effectiveness of interventions based on the PROCEDE model.
