Análisis multitemporal y caracterización de la vegetación hidrófita y helófita de un cinturón de humedales urbanos en el altiplano del Oriente antioqueño
Authors: Salazar Suaza Daniela , Quijano-Abril Mario Alberto 
Published: November 2020

Los humedales han sido catalogados como altamente diversos por su multiplicidad de ambientes y formas y constituyen ecosistemas únicos, de allí el interés por su conservación a nivel mundial. En el presente estudio se buscaba caracterizar la vegetaciónacuática en 13 humedales urbanos del altiplano del Oriente antioqueño estableciendo 15 cuadrantes aleatorios de 0,5 m de lado en cada humedal, con el fin de evaluar frecuencia y cobertura. Asimismo, se determinó la distribución de la vegetación acuática por hábitos de crecimiento ilustrada mediante un perfil. Por último, se hizo un análisis multitemporal para evaluar las presiones que estos ecosistemas han tenido a lo largo del tiempo. Se encontraron 81 especies de plantas acuáticas distribuidas en 39 géneros y 27 familias, de las cuales 41 son nativas de Antioquia. Las familias con mayor representación fueron Poaceae, Cyperaceae, Onagraceae y Juncaceae. El hábito de crecimiento que dominó fue el emergente, seguido del flotante enraizado y el flotante libre. Las presiones antrópicas observadas suponen que la urbanización, la minería y la contaminación han perjudicado seriamente estos ecosistemas en el territorio hasta el punto de que hoy están en riesgo de desaparición si no se los incluye en el plan de ordenamiento territorial.

Published: November 2020

Los macroinvertebrados acuáticos cumplen un rol ecológico importante en los ecosistemas acuáticos porque permiten comprender la dinámica del flujo de energía y de los nutrientes, así como de las relaciones tróficas. Son pocos los estudios asociados con microcuencas de cabeceras andinas, y, en ese contexto, el presente estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el efecto de la heterogeneidad de microhábitats en la riqueza de los taxones y los grupos funcionales alimenticios en los macroinvertebrados acuáticos presentes en la microcuenca Dalí, Andes centrales de Colombia. Se hicieron monitoreos bianuales entre el 2012 y el 2016 de los aspectos biofísicos mediante el índice de hábitat fluvial, así como de los macroinvertebrados acuáticos recolectados con red Surber en los microhábitats dominantes en cinco estaciones a lo largo de la quebrada Dalí y de dos tributarios. La asignación de los grupos funcionales alimenticios se hizo con base en la revisión de la literatura especializada. En general, se registró un hábitat fluvial bien construido. Se recolectaron 34.144 organismos pertenecientes a 147 taxones que se clasificaron en seis grupos funcionales alimenticios, siendo el de los recolectores el más abundante, seguido de los fragmentadores. El sustrato rocoso fue el microhábitat más diverso. Se observaron diferencias significativas entre los microhábitats (p<0,05) y una correlación positiva de Pearson (r2 : 0,923) entre la riqueza de taxones y las condiciones del hábitat fluvial. Estos resultados confirman que la microcuenca Dalí presenta el patrón típico de las corrientes de cabecera, entornos muy heterogéneos donde la presencia de material alóctono, la heterogeneidad de los microhábitats e, incluso, las coberturas vegetales influyen ya sea positiva o negativamente en la comunidad de los macroinvertebrados acuáticos.

Investigating the relationship between the foreign language reading anxiety and reading proficiency: a case study of preparatory year students at the University of Jeddah
Authors: Alqahtani Saleh Mohammad Ali 
Published: November 2020

This study is an in-depth analysis on the association between the anxiety experienced known as Foreign Language Reading Anxiety (FLRA) and the proficiency in reading exhibited by the preparatory year students. The Saudi learners from the science and arts stream and the gender were also considered as the moderator variables for this study. A mixed group of 84 students from both the genders of the preparatory year studying English at the Institution of Languages from the University of Jeddah were considered as the variables for this research. The participants were measured on as 20-item Likert-style Foreign Language Reading Anxiety Scale and examined by undergoing a 20-item proficiency test in reading a comprehension and a demographic questionnaire. The data was analyzed by applying The Pearson product moment correlation, t-Test, and descriptive analysis. The results indicated that the anxiety level while reading had varied values from moderate to high most of the respondents in the test were found to be in the moderate anxiety group. In addition, a notable negative relationship was found to be existing between the FLRA and the reading proficiency. The association existing between the foreign language reading anxiety and the group field was identified in this study. Analyzing the concept considering the gender, the female students were identified to experience more anxiety compared to the male students involved in the study. The findings of this study are advantageous to the language teachers and the curriculum planners too. It enables them to decrease the deteriorating and weakening factors in the classroom and thereby improve the reading ability of the language learners’. Reducing the reading anxiety amongst the learners can be achieved by exposing the language learners to understandable reading texts and familiarize them with cultural texts. This in turn develops the learners’ self-confidence and motivates them to be better readers.

Submarine topographic control on distribution of supercritical-flow deposits in lobe and related environments, middle Eocene, Jaca Basin, Spanish Pyrenees
Authors: Cornard Pauline H. , Pickering Kevin T. 
Published: November 2020

ABSTRACTSubmarine lobe and related deposits are amongst the largest discrete sandbodies on Earth, and can be significant hydrocarbon reservoirs. In outcrop and core-based studies, tools such as analysis of bed-thickness and grain-size distributions have been used to improve the understanding of the composition and architecture of such sandbodies. Analysis of sediment-gravity-flow (SGF) processes have also proved to be a useful tool in understanding the evolution of submarine lobes. In this paper, based on outcrop studies of submarine lobe and related deposits in the middle Eocene Jaca Basin, Spanish Pyrenees, a revised interpretation of the depositional environments of the lobe and related deposits and a new model for their architectural evolution is presented. This model is based on an analysis of bed-thickness, grain-size distribution, and a qualitative and quantitative study of the distribution of supercritical-flow deposits (SFDs) in these environments. The interpretation of lobe and related environments is mainly based on sandstone content and the distribution of sedimentary facies. The main supercritical-flow sedimentary structures recognized in the Jaca Basin, are unstable and stable antidunes, upper plane beds and backset-laminated beds.This study demonstrates that seafloor topography, strongly controlled by both syndepositional tectonics and the accumulation of mass-transport complexes, likely exerted a significant influence on lobe architecture and the distribution of SFDs. Local increase in bed thickness, together with a progressive decrease in grain size and little variation in the proportion of SFDs in proximal-to-distal and axial-to-lateral directions, can be explained by: i) an increase in basin confinement of the distal part of the Jaca Basin due to tectonically induced narrowing, ii) enhanced local lateral confinement due, at least in part, to “carbonate megaturbidites” present in the distal part of the Jaca Basin and creating topography. Thus, basin confinement is introduced as a new parameter playing a role on flow criticality. There is a decreasing proportion of SFDs between the submarine channels and canyons of the Ainsa Basin and the submarine lobes of the Jaca Basin, the last basin being the focus of this paper. This confirms previous studies showing that channel confinement and slope gradient likely played an important role in flow criticality.

Abstract
Our objective was to obtain normal patellofemoral measurements so as to provide a reference for prosthetic design. Besides, the absolute values and indices of TT-TG distances are still controversial in clinical application. A better method to enable precise clinical applications is still needed.Methods:78 knees of 78 subjects without knee pathologies were included in this cross-sectional study. A CT scan was obtained from all subjects and three-dimensional knee models were constructed using Mimics and SolidWorks software. We measured and analyzed 19 parameters including TT-TG distance and dimensions and shapes of patella, femur, tibia, and trochlea. LASSO regression was used to predict the normal TT-TG distances.Results:The dimensional indexes, TT-TG distance, and femoral aspect ratio of the males were significantly larger than those of females (all P values <0.05). However, after controlling the bias from age, height, and weight, there were no significant differences in TT-TG distances, PAL, and anterior-posterior dimensions between genders (all P values >0.05). The Pearson correlation coefficients between the AFO and other indexes were consistently below 0.3, indicating a none or weak relationship. Similar results were observed for the SA and the Wiberg index. Using LASSO regression, we obtained four parameters to predict TT-TG distance (R2=0.5612, P<0.01) to achieve the optimal accuracy and convenience. Conclusion:The anterior-posterior dimensions of the females were thicker than those of males for the same medial-lateral dimensions. More attention should be paid to not only gender differences but individual differences, especially the anterior condyle and trochlea. Besides, this study provided a new method of predicting TT-TG distance to enable precise clinical diagnoses and guide the medial transfer of the tibial tuberosity.

Abstract
Background: Patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) sometimes coincide with stiffness of cervical muscles. This study examined the effect of local modulation of the cervical muscles on ME/CFS and the underlying mechanism.Methods: In total, 1,226 inpatients with ME/CFS who were resistant to outpatient care were enrolled in this study for 11 years. All patients underwent daily physical therapies to the cervical muscles during hospitalization. Self-rated records documenting the presence and absence of ME/CFS and the representative eight disorders that frequently accompany it at admission and discharge were compared. The pupil diameter was also measured to examine involvement of autonomic nervous system function.Results: The recovery rate of ME/CFS after local therapy was 55.5%, and did not differ significantly by sex, age strata, and hospitalization period. The recovery rates of the eight disorders were variable (36.6－86.9%); however, those of ME/CFS in the disorder subpopulations were similar (52.3－55.8%). The recovery rates of all disorders showed strong associations with that of ME/CFS (p<0.001). The pupil diameter was decreased at discharge, and the change was significantly higher in the ME/CFS-recovered patients than ME/CFS-unrecovered patients in the total population and the subpopulations stratified by sex, age, and hospitalization period.Conclusions: Local therapy to the cervical muscles led to recovery in more than half of patients with ME/CFS, at least partly through amelioration of the autonomic nervous system. There may be a causal relationship between recoveries of ME/CFS and these related whole-body disorders.Trial registration ID: UMIN000036634.

Abstract
PurposeThe present study aimed to explore the influence of ulnar bow on the surgical treatment of Bado type I missed Monteggia fracture in children.MethodsThis study is a retrospective review of 24 patients between November 2010 and March 2019. All patients were treated with open reduction of the radial head and ulnar opening wedge osteotomy without annular ligament reconstruction. The mean interval between injury onset and surgery was five months (range: 2–12 months). The average age of participants at the time of surgery was 6.4 years (range: 3–10 years). We evaluated the maximum ulnar bow (MUB) and MUB position (P-MUB) via radiography. The patients were divided into middle group (group A: 14 cases, MUB located at 40% to 60% of the distal ulna) and distal group (group B: 10 cases, MUB located at 20% to 40% from the distal end of the ulna) based on P-MUB. The mean period of follow-up was 37 months (range: 6–102 months).ResultsAt the last follow-up, all the children showed stable reduction of the radial head, and the flexion function of elbow joint improved after operation (P<0.05). Group A presented a larger the ratio of maximum ulnar bow(R-MUB) and angle of ulnar osteotomy(OA) than group B (P<0.05). There was statistically significant difference between group A and Group B in the P-MUB (P < 0.05). The osteotomy angle was positively correlated with the R-MUB (R2 =0.497,P=0.013), The osteotomy angle was positively correlated with the P-MUB (R2=0.731,P=0.000), The R-MUB is proportional to the P-MUB (R2 =0.597,P=0.002). The regression equation of P-MUB and osteotomy angle: Angle=7.064+33.227* P-MUB (R2=0.459, P =0.000).ConclusionWhen the ulnar bow is positioned at the middle ulna, a stable reduction of radial head need to be achieved through a larger angle in the ulnar osteotomy. If the position of maximum ulnar bow (P-MUB) is closer to the middle of the ulna or the ratio of maximum ulnar bow (R-MUB) is larger, the osteotomy angle is larger.

Abstract
BackgroundBony fusion rate was significantly lower in patients with type 3 Modic change than patients with normal endplates. It is not known whether there are relevant differences in fusion efficiency among patients with type 2 sclerotic Modic change or non sclerotic Modic change, or no Modic change.MethodsA retrospective study contained 208 lumbar segments in 131 subjects undergoing posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) with pedicle screw instrumentation (PSI) to assess the effect of type 2 sclerotic Modic change on fusion efficiency. These endplates were allocated into groups A, B, and C, according to their Modic changes. Group A had endplates with type 2 Modic change and endplate sclerosis. Group B had type 2 Modic change without endplate sclerosis. Group C had neither Modic change nor endplate sclerosis. The presence of Modic change was determined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Endplate sclerosis in type 2 Modic change was detected by computed tomography (CT). We collected CT data 3 months till more than 24 months after operation in patients to assess bony fusion.ResultsIncidences of bony fusion were 55.3% in group A, 95.1% in group B, 93.8% in group C. The bony fusion rate was significantly lower in group A than in either group B or C. There was no significant difference between groups B and C. Thus, endplates with type 2 sclerotic Modic change had a lower fusion rate in patients undergoing PLIF with PSI.Conclusion﻿Type 2 sclerotic Modic change could be an important factor that affects solid bony fusion in patients undergoing PLIF with PSI. CT may help diagnose endplate sclerosis in patients with type 2 change and inform the choice of best site for spinal fusion.
