Ruinas en la tecnosfera:
Authors: Librandi Nancy Beatriz 
Published: July 2021

El progreso tecnológico y el acumulado material en la tecnosfera, definen nuevas fronteras que se conforman a través de los rangos de movilidad y accesibilidad a la tecnología. Esas zonas liminales actúan como filtros conformando distintas centralidades y subalternidades (o periferias), inclusiones y exclusiones, como formas nuevas de colonialidad. La materia de la tecnosfera, traicionada por la linealidad de su propio progreso y por el estrago que causa la naturaleza, es desechada transformándose en un innovador sentido de ruina. El arte la libera de su obsolescencia y la transforma en su material para visibilizar desde su abandono aquellas fronteras que genera el propio mundo tecnológico. El artista busca catalogar sus acumulaciones y serializarlas. La forma-trayecto se transforma en el tipo de operación artística privilegiada. El arte usa al objeto tecnológico (en ruinas) no ya por su efímera funcionalidad, sino por las propiedades ruinológicas que adquiere a partir de su desuso.

This study investigates the marine macroinvertebrate fauna of rhodolith beds (non-geniculated red corallinaceaous algae) in northeast Brazilian. A total of 57 species were identified, belonging to six phyla (Platyhelminthes, Annelida, Sipuncula, Mollusca, Arthropoda and Echinodermata), of which 50 are considered here as new records for the Paraíba State. Annelids (Class Polychaeta) were the most representative taxa in Miramar and Seixas Beaches, while molluscs were dominant in Maceió Beach.
This is the first study that includes an identification key, diagnostic features and distribution patterns worldwide and local (including new records) of the marine invertebrate fauna associated with rhodolith beds in northeast Brazil (State of Paraíba). Sampling events were performed in 2018, at low tide in the intertidal to shallow subtidal zones (1.5 and 4.0 m depth), in Miramar, Seixas and Maceió Beaches. A total of 17 species were found for the first time on Seixas Beach, as well as all identified species for Miramar and Maceió. This study tries to contribute to the knowledge of marine invertebrates in northeast Brazilian shallow habitats, providing a baseline for future environmental studies.

Authors: Palierne Nicolas , Gaussot Ludovic , Laurent Estelle , Ingrand Isabelle , Ingrand Pierre 
Published: July 2021

L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser les modalités de transmission et de circulation familiales des recommandations sur le risque élevé du cancer colorectal (CCR), ainsi que les enjeux de cette prévention. L’article s’appuie sur les matériaux de deux enquêtes : un dépistage ciblé du CCR basé sur un schéma d’essai randomisé mené dans l’ex-Poitou-Charentes entre 2010 et 2013 ; des monographies familiales autour de l’expérience du CCR. Il s’agit de comprendre d’un côté comment les personnes soignées réalisent (ou non) la prévention familiale ; de l’autre, comment les apparenté-e-s peuvent (ou non) se constituer comme acteur-rice-s et/ou cibles de cette prévention. Les enjeux étudiés portent sur les dilemmes éthiques et familiaux des soigné-e-s. La circulation de la recommandation renvoie à la configuration et à la qualité des relations dans la famille, au genre du travail domestique de santé, aux parcours de soin et aux histoires familiales de maladie qui structurent les savoirs profanes sur le CCR et sa prévention.
La vulnérabilité des élèves chiliens et de leurs familles : une analyse des instruments de l’action publique par le prisme de l’indice de vulnérabilité éducative (IVE)
Authors: Pino Natalia 
Published: July 2021

Face au déploiement du discours de la vulnérabilité sociale qui s’est développé au Chili, dans les années 2000, il convient d’étudier la manière dont cette notion s’est transférée vers la politique scolaire. S’appuyant sur une approche instrumentale, cet article analyse les carrières de certains indicateurs comme l’indice de vulnérabilité éducative IVE, mis en place par le Conseil national de l’aide et des bourses scolaires (Junaeb). Celui-ci définit pour l’État et pour les acteurs de l’éducation ce qu’est aujourd’hui la « vulnérabilité ». Les résultats témoignent du rôle de transcodeur de l’IVE, ainsi que celui des experts, tout en soulignant son influence sur le processus de ciblage et les finalités de la politique de lutte contre les inégalités. On observe ainsi que l’individualisation du ciblage de la politique prioritaire est le résultat de l’évolution de l’instrument de ciblage. Elle est appliquée comme principe d’action permettant aux familles « vulnérables » le maximum de chances d’accéder à l’école de leur choix. Ces constats confortent l’idée selon laquelle les instruments encadrent les enjeux et l’action des politiques publiques.
Neurofeedback : le développement pervasif des applications neurotechnologiques pour gérer le stress, les troubles de l’attention et la douleur
Authors: Attal Yohan 
Published: July 2021

Les neuroscientifiques ont fait une découverte fondamentale : le cerveau est un organe plastique, dans lequel les connexions neuronales sont en perpétuel remaniement. Il est aujourd’hui possible de modifier en profondeur la dynamique des réseaux cérébraux grâce au neurofeedback. Cette approche révolutionnaire marque l’entrée dans une nouvelle ère de la santé digitale. Le neurofeedback s’apprête à transformer la gestion clinique de la santé mentale, du bien-être, par exemple l’anxiété, les troubles de l’attention ou encore la gestion de la douleur. Le neurofeedback permet à l’utilisateur d’induire lui-même des changements à long terme dans les oscillations spontanées de son cerveau, sans avoir recours à des composants pharmacologiques. De nombreuses études, réalisées sous protocole strict en recourant aux meilleurs standards scientifiques, démontrent l’efficacité de cette technique. Dans cet article, nous allons nous concentrer sur trois d’entre elles : le Melomind pour la gestion du stress, le Koala pour la gestion des troubles de l’attention et le Beluga pour la gestion de la douleur.

Objective:
To study the chemical profile, antimicrobial properties, and synergistic effect with known antibiotics of essential oil extracted from the marine red macroalgae Centroceras clavulatum (C. Agardh) Montagne, collected in Morocco.

Methods:
The chemical composition of the oil was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The oil was evaluated for antibacterial (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae), and antifungal activity (Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida krusei, and Candida parapsilosis), by the disc diffusion method. The minimum inhibitory and minimum microbicidal concentrations of the oil were determined, as well as the synergistic effects of its application combined with the antibiotics ciprofloxacin and fluconazole, by the checkerboard method.

Results:
Thirty molecules were identified in the essential oil, comprising 96.27% of the total oil composition. Monoterpenes such as carvacrol (36.06%) were the most abundant compounds, followed by caryophyllene (14.67%), endo-borneol (9.04%), pyroterebic acid (3.23%) and caryophyllene oxide (3.13%). The oil exhibited a moderate antimicrobial activity with inhibition zone diameters ranging from 9.0 to 15.0 mm. The minimum inhibitory concentration values varied between 0.9 and 14.7 mg/mL, and Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli were the more sensitive bacteria with 0.9 and 1.9 mg/mL, respectively. The minimum microbicidal concentration values ranged from 0.4 to 14.7 mg/mL. A significant synergic action was observed when the oil was applied in combination with ciprofloxacin and fluconazole, with fractional inhibitory concentration index values ranging from 0.31 to 0.50. Synergy was found in 80% of the combinations and a 2 to 16-fold reduction of antibiotics MIC was observed.

Conclusions:
Our findings suggest that the essential oil of Centroceras clavulatum should be further appraised for its potential use in the management of multi-drug resistant microorganisms, with the purpose to restore the activity of standard antimicrobial drugs.

Published: July 2021

Objective:
To evaluate the inhibitory activity of ferulic acid and four of its esterified derivatives (methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl) against resistance mechanisms in Staphylococcus aureus strains.

Methods:
Ferulic acid derivatives were obtained by esterification with methanol, ethanol, propanol, and butanol, and then characterized by hydrogen and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of ferulic acid and its esterified derivatives, ethidium bromide, and norfloxacin were obtained using the microdilution test, while the efflux pump inhibition test was conducted by examining reduction in the MICs of norfloxacin and ethidium bromide. Molecular docking was also carried out using the Schrodinger Suite 2015 molecular modeling software. A three-dimensional model of NorA efflux pump was generated using I-TASSER. The best scoring model was used as a receptor for ligand-receptor docking.

Results:
The methyl and butyl ester derivatives did not demonstrate significant antimicrobial activity. However, a significant synergic effect was evidenced when norfloxacin was combined with the ethyl and propyl esterified derivatives. The docking study demonstrated favorable energy of interaction between ferulate derivatives and NorA, and amino acid residues TYR57, TYR58, and LEU255 were present commonly in stabilizing all complexes. The PCA analysis corroborated the docking hypothesis that the lipophilic character and hydrogen bond interactions were the most relevant characteristics involved with NorA inhibitors. The pharmacokinetic parameters of ferulic acid derivatives showed good ADMET properties, demonstrating that they can be easily absorbed and have no effect or inhibit the cytochrome P450 enzyme complex, revealing their potential as drug candidates.

Conclusions:
This study provides strong evidence that the molecular basis for this activity is potentially due to the NorA efflux pump.

Published: July 2021

Objective:
COVID-19 has emerged as a multi-system disease with the potential for endocrine dysfunction. We aimed to study the hormonal profile of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 at a tertiary care referral hospital at Jodhpur, India.

Design:
A hospital-based clinical study of endocrine profile of COVID-19 patients conducted from 15th May to 30th June 2020 after ethical approval.

Measurements:
Fasting blood samples for free thyroxine (T4), free tri-iodothyronine (T3), thyroid stimulating Hormone (TSH), serum prolactin; basal and 1 h post-intramuscular adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulated cortisol, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were collected within 24 h of admission after written informed consent. All hormones and IL-6 were analyzed by chemiluminescent immunoassay. hsCRP was measured by immune-turbidimetric assay.

Results:
Of 235 patients studied, 14% had severe disease and 5.5% died. Adrenal insufficiency was present in 14%, most of whom had mild disease. A robust adrenal response was observed in those with severe disease. Basal and post-ACTH serum cortisol were significantly increased in severe disease or those who died compared to those who were mild or asymptomatic. Basal and post-ACTH serum cortisol showed a significant positive correlation with hsCRP but not with IL-6. Low T3 and low T4 syndrome were documented in 25% and 5%, respectively. Serum TSH and FT3 levels declined significantly from asymptomatic to severe category. Hyperprolactinemia was found in 21 patients. hsCRP showed a rising trend with disease severity while IL-6 did not.

Conclusions:
Endocrine dysfunction in the form of adrenal insufficiency, low T3, and low TSH syndrome and hyperprolactinemia were common COVID-19 hospitalized patients.

Authors: Kochar Inderpal S. , Ramachandran Smita , Sethi Aashish 
Published: July 2021

Objectives:
The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of early initiation versus late growth hormone in improving the predicted adult height in growth hormone deficiency (GHD) children.

Methods:
A retrospective study of 550 GHD children with short stature, who had taken rGH for duration of minimum 12 months were included. They were divided into groups of less than 8 years and more than 8 years of age based on the initiation of growth hormone therapy. Their pretreatment and post-treatment auxological parameters were evaluated.

Results:
There were 148 children in less than 8 years group and 402 children in more than 8 years old group. In 8 years or younger age group, the pre-treatment mean height of –2.015 SDS improved to –0.7753 SDS after one year of treatment. There was an improvement in the mean height from –2.0447 SDS to –1.2658 SDS post-treatment in more than 8 years group. The pre- and post-treatment difference between the Z score of height, weight, and BMI were statistically significant (<0.001).

Conclusion:
A significant height improvement occurred in both the groups' children after 1 year of GH treatment but the gain in final adult height was better when initiated less than 8 years of age. No significant side effects were noted during this period.
Residual Learning
Authors: Zarvani Maral , Saberi Sara , Azmi Reza , Shojaedini Seyed Vahab 
Published: July 2021

Background:
Recently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a useful tool for the early detection of heart failure. A vital step of this process is a valid measurement of the left ventricle's properties, which seriously depends on the accurate segmentation of the heart in captured images. Although various schemes have been tested for this segmentation so far, the latest proposed methods have used the concept of deep learning to estimate the range of the left ventricle in cardiac MRI images. While deep learning methods can lead to better results than their classical alternatives, but unfortunately, the gradient vanishing and exploding problems may hamper their efficiency for the accurate segmentation of the left ventricle in MRI heart images.

Methods:
In this article, a new concept called residual learning is utilized to improve the performance of deep learning schemes against gradient vanishing problems. For this purpose, the Residual Network of Residual Network (i.e., Residual of Residual) substructure is utilized inside the main deep learning architecture (e.g., Unet), which provides more significant detection indexes.

Results and Conclusion:
The proposed method's performances and its alternatives were evaluated on Sunnybrook Cardiac Data as a reliable dataset in the left ventricle segmentation. The results show that the detection parameters are improved at least by 5%, 3.5%, 8.1%, and 11.4% compared to its deep alternatives in terms of Jaccard, Dice, precision, and false-positive rate indexes, respectively. These improvements were made when the recall parameter was reduced to a negligible value (i.e., approximately 1%). Overall, the proposed method can be used as a suitable tool for more accurate detection of the left ventricle in MRI images.
Cosmovisão Cristã na Didática Magna de Comenius
Authors: Meira José Normando Gonçalves , Xavier Wendell Lessa Vilela 
Published: July 2021

Este estudo, que se insere no campo da história das ideias pedagógicas, analisa o pensamento do educador João Amós Comenius (1592-1670) na sua obra clássica Didática Magna: a arte de ensinar tudo a todos, publicada em 1657. O objetivo é conhecer as propostas educacionais do autor, considerando o contexto em que foram elaboradas e a visão de mundo que as nortearam. O referencial teórico para a referida análise é a sociologia da religião de Max Weber (2004), que aponta o impacto das convicções religiosas na ação social dos indivíduos. Analisa, neste caso, o impacto do “ascetismo intramundano” da ética protestante nas elaborações de Comenius. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental, tendo como fonte principal a obra Didática Magna. O estudo possibilita uma compreensão das propostas educacionais de Comenius, articuladas ao espírito do século XVII e suas contribuições para a consolidação da ciência moderna.
