La idea del teatro
Authors: Monsalve Juan 
Published: March 2018

La idea del teatro tiene como esencia el ser de la representación. Y ella tiene como objetivo el ser que observa, el espectador, el ser de la contemplación. El ser de la representación es por naturaleza el ser de la acción, el actuante, el hacedor, el demiurgo.Nadie hay que pueda escapar a la acción. La acción es mejor que la inacción, y conduce al conocimiento a través de la renuncia de sus frutos. Lo que muestra el teatro es precisamente la inutilidad de la acción (Artaud, A. 2002). El ser original de la representación es reflexión que en la conciencia hacen los actos, los rituales, las artes y el teatro
Chicos fotógrafos de Cazucá: Aportes de la práctica artística al campo de la investigación acción participativa
Authors: Corredor Romero Maya 
Published: March 2018

Con un grupo de niños, niñas y jóvenes de Altos de Cazucá (Soacha-Colombia), se ha desarrollado un proceso de Investigación Acción Participativa, a través de la práctica fotográfica, basado en la relación que ellos tienen con su entorno. Esta experiencia inició en el 2010 y continúa actualmente. El marco de sentido y metodológico de la IAP facilitó que el colectivo elaborara y resignificara la relación con sus hogares, barrio y entorno cotidiano. También presentó a la fotografía como un medio fundamental de exploración e indagación, asumida en su potencial imaginativo e inventivo, más que documental.Esta experiencia ha permitido cuestionar, entre otras cosas, el lugar de la práctica fotográfica en procesos comunitarios de formación, y más específicamente, en los procesos de Investigación Acción Participativa. En el transcurso del proyecto, el diálogo que los participantes han establecido con la fotografía y la metodología de IAP, generó algunas reflexiones sobre esas potencialidades y elementos propios de la práctica artística que pueden enriquecer la práctica investigativa en los entornos comunitarios.

Published: March 2018

Background: Hypospadias is a common congenital anomaly of the penis in which the urethra opens proximal to its normal position at the tip of the glans. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of Mathieu and Snodgrass techniques in the repair of anterior distal shaft hypospadias.Methods: From October 2009 to November 2010, forty five patients with the ages ranged 1 to 12 years suffering from anterior distal shaft hypospadias, were assessed. Inclusion criteria were anterior distal shaft hypospadias, and exclusion criteria were association with chordee, circumcision, and surgical repair history. Twenty-five patients underwent surgical repair using Snodgrass technique and 20 patients using Mathieu technique. Surgery was performed by one single surgeon, acquainted with both techniques. Patients were examined 1 week, and 1 month after discharge. Data including duration of the surgery, stenting time and any kind of complications such as break down, meatal stenosis, and fistula formation were collected. Also, success rate was calculated for every single patient and accordingly, the two groups were compared.Results: Mean operative time were 74±26minutes for Mathieu group and106.11±23 for minutes in Snodgrass group (P<0.05). Stenting mean duration was 6.8±1.1 days, in Mathieu group and, 6.3±0.8 days in Snodgrass group (P>0.05). The rate of break down, meatal stenosis, and fistula formation were 10%, 0%, and 5% in Mathieu group and 4%, 8%, and 8% in Snodgrass group respectively (P>0.05). Success rate was 88% in Snodgrass group and 85% in Mathieu group (P>0.05).Conclusions: In spite of some reports about preference for Snodgrass technique, we concluded that both techniques are as acceptable and as effective as each other for hypospodias repairing, regardless of cosmetic outcomes; however, we need further studies and larger sample sizes to determine which is the superior technique.

EFECTOS DE LA IMPLEMENTACION DE LOS ESTANDARES INTERNACIONALES DE INFORMACION FINANCIERA Y DE AUDITORIA EN EL EJERCICIO DEL REVISOR FISCAL EN BOGOTA
Authors: Diaz Solano Doris Sofia 
Published: March 2018

Los efectos de la Implementación de las normas internacionales de información financiera (NIIF) y de las normas internacionales de auditoria (NIA) en los garantes de la información financiera, permiten hacer un análisis comparativo a nivel nacional e internacional, sobre aspectos que inciden en el desarrollo del ejercicio partiendo de la normativa, en el contexto colombiano como sus antecedentes mundiales e implicaciones actuales; mientras que otros tantos se derivan del ejercicio práctico y real de la labor como revisor fiscal, que aparentemente no resultan ser más que dificultades conceptuales en la aplicación real de las normas vigentes a la fecha, siendo un problema netamente hermenéutico. La metodología utilizada es de tipo cualitativo fundamentada en fuentes secundarias como doctrina discriminada en (textos y artículos de revistas científicas) y la normatividad como fuente principal. Como herramienta, se utilizó encuestas, para visualizar la percepción de los encuestados sobre el objeto de estudio. Se concluye que los estándares internacionales (NIIF-NIAS) afectan el ejercicio del Revisor Fiscal.
River flood prediction using fuzzy neural networks: an investigation on automated network architecture
Authors: Khan Usman T. , He Jianxun , Valeo Caterina 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Urban floods are one of the most devastating natural disasters globally and improved flood prediction is essential for better flood management. Today, high-resolution real-time datasets for flood-related variables are widely available. These data can be used to create data-driven models for improved real-time flood prediction. However, data-driven models have uncertainty stemming from a number of issues: the selection of input data, the optimisation of model architecture, estimation of model parameters, and model output. Addressing these sources of uncertainty will improve flood prediction. In this research, a fuzzy neural network is proposed to predict peak flow in an urban river. The network uses fuzzy numbers to account for the uncertainty in the output and model parameters. An algorithm that uses possibility theory is used to train the network. An adaptation of the automated neural pathway strength feature selection (ANPSFS) method is used to select the input features. A search and optimisation algorithm is used to select the network architecture. Data for the Bow River in Calgary, Canada are used to train and test the network.

Published: March 2018

Background:
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) accounts for approximately 50% of all
cases of dementia and, in spite of the great effort for the development of disease-modifying
drugs, a definitive treatment of cognitive impairment is not available yet. A perfect adherence
to the current therapy of cognitive decline is needed for a better control of the disease and this
is proven to reduce, though not completely abolish, the associated Behavioural and Psychological
Symptoms of Dementia (BPSDs) from occurring. This cluster of symptoms, remarkably
affecting patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQL), is tightly associated with pain states.
Antipsychotics are the only treatment for BPSDs. However, these drugs are more effective
and safer in the short-term (6-12 weeks), they are able to manage aggression but not agitation
and they cannot control pain. Aromatherapy with Melissa officinalis and Lavandula officinalis
has been employed to handle BPSDs, but it has not provided strong evidence to offer relief
from pain.

Objective:
Bergamot Essential Oil (BEO) exerts antinociceptive activity through several
pharmacological mechanisms: in particular, it is able to enhance autophagy, a process undergoing
derangement in chronic pain. Thus, the sound pharmacological basis for clinical translation
of aromatherapy with BEO in the treatment of BPSDs has been pointed out.

Conclusion:
The antinociceptive effects elicited by BEO in experimental pain models make it
a possible candidate for the pharmacological management of pain-related BPSDs.
Parallel Solid-Phase Synthesis using a New Diethylsilylacetylenic Linker and Leading to Mestranol Derivatives with Potent Antiproliferative Activities on Multiple Cancer Cell Lines
Authors: Dutour Raphaël , Maltais René , Perreault Martin , Roy Jenny , Poirier Donald 
Published: March 2018

Background:
RM-133 belongs to a new family of aminosteroid derivatives demonstrating interesting
anticancer properties, as confirmed in vivo in four mouse cancer xenograft models. However, the metabolic
stability of RM-133 needs to be improved. After investigation, the replacement of its androstane scaffold by a
more stable estrane scaffold led to the development of the mestranol derivative RM-581.

Methods:
Using solid-phase strategy involving five steps, we quickly synthesized a series of RM-581 analogs
using the recently-developed diethylsilylacetylenic linker. To establish structure-activity relationships, we then
investigated their antiproliferative potency on a panel of cancer cell lines from various cancers (breast, prostate,
ovarian and pancreatic).

Results:
Some of the mestranol derivatives have shown in vitro anticancer activities that are close to, or
better than, those observed for RM-581. Compound 23, a mestranol derivative having a ((3,5-dimethylbenzoyl)-
L-prolyl)piperazine side chain at position C2, was found to be active as an antiproliferative agent (IC50 = 0.38 ±
0.34 to 3.17 ± 0.10 µM) and to be twice as active as RM-581 on LNCaP, PC-3, MCF-7, PANC-1 and
OVCAR-3 cancer cells (IC50 = 0.56 ± 0.30, 0.89 ± 0.63, 1.36 ± 0.31, 2.47 ± 0.91 and 3.17 ± 0.10 µM,
respectively).

Conclusion:
Easily synthesized in good yields by both solid-phase organic synthesis and classic solution-phase
chemistry, promising compound 23 could be used as an antiproliferative agent on a variety of cancers, notably
pancreatic and ovarian cancers, both having very bad prognoses.
Suppression of the Viability and Proliferation of HepG2 Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell Line by Konjac Glucomannan
Authors: Sawai Sakunie , Mohktar Mas Sahidayana , Safwani Wan Kamarul Zaman Wan , Ramasamy Thamil Selvee 
Published: March 2018

Background:
Konjac Glucomannan (KGM) is a water-soluble dietary fibre extracted from Amorphophallus
konjac K. Koch (Araceae). Konjac fibre has been clinically proven as an effective antioxidant agent in
weight control but its traditionally known tumour suppression property remains to be explored.

Objective:
The main objective of this study is to determine the potential anti-proliferative effect of KGM on
cancer and normal human liver cell lines, HepG2 and WRL68, respectively.

Method:
HepG2 and WRL68 cells were treated with KGM, D-mannose, KGM-D-mannose and 5-fluorouracil.
The morphological changes in those treated cells were observed. Cytotoxic effect of the treatments on cell viability
and proliferation, and apoptosis genes expression were assessed by cytotoxicity assay, flow cytometry
and RT-PCR analyses.

Results:
The results show that KGM treatment resulted in reduced viability of HepG2 cells significantly, in line
with the apoptosis-like morphological changes. Up-regulation of BAX and down-regulation of BCL2 genes as
reflected by high Bax to Bcl 2 ratio suggests that the inhibitory effect of KGM on HepG2 cells most likely via
Bcl2/Bax protein pathway. Despite the effectiveness of standard drug 5-FU in suppressing the viability and
proliferation of HepG2 cells, it however, exhibited no selective inhibition of cancer cells as compared to KGM.

Conclusion:
Current findings suggested that KGM is a potential anti-cancer compound/drug entity, which could
be an alternative preventive agent against liver cancer.
Ameliorative Effect of Trans-Sinapic Acid and its Protective Role in Cerebral Hypoxia in Aluminium Chloride Induced Dementia of Alzheimer's Type
Authors: Bais Souravh , Kumari Renu , Prashar Yash 
Published: March 2018

Background:
Trans-Sinapic Acid is a bioactive compound. Recent studies showed that it
has a significant potential to attenuate various chemically induced Neurodegenerative toxicities.

Aim:

The present study investigates the potential of trans-Sinapic Acid as neuromodulator and its effect
on release of Monoamine Oxidase (MAO-A, MAO-B), TNF-α, Acetylcholine esterase Enzyme, in
cognitive dysfunctions associated with experimental dementia.

Experiment:

Aluminium chloride was administered at a dose of 175mg/kg, p.o. for a period of 25 days
in rats and then divided into different groups, i.e. Treatment group, negative control and two groups of
trans- Sinapic Acid, (at a dose of 30 and 60mg/kg, p.o.), where these groups treated and observed until
the 35th day of experimental trial. Morris water Maze (MWM) and Photoactometer was used to access
learning, memory and ambulatory movements on 5th, 16th, 26th and 36th day of experiment. Later, the
animals were sacrificed for biochemical and histopahological studies. The oxidative stress was measured
by estimating the levels of Glutathion (GSH), Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Nitrite, Catalase.
Brain acetylcholine esterase (Ache) activity and Monoamine oxidase (MAO-A, MAO-B) were also
estimated. The Brain level of TNF-α was measured as a marker of inflammation.

Results:
Aluminium chloride (AlCl3) produced a marked decline in MWM performance and ambulatory
movements' of animals, reflecting impairment of memory and learning. Trans-Sinapic Acid
treatment significantly modulates AlCl3 induced memory deficits, biochemical and pathological alterations.
The findings demonstrate that the memory restorative ability of trans-Sinapic Acid may be
attributed to its anti-cholinesterase, anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory potential.
