Published: September 2024

IntroductionSlip-related falls are a significant concern, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the elderly and individuals with gait disorders, necessitating effective preventive measures. This manuscript presents a biomechanical study of how the lower limbs react to perturbations that can trigger a slip-like fall, with the ultimate goal of identifying target specifications for developing a wearable robotic system for slip-like fall prevention.MethodsOur analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of the natural human biomechanical response to slip perturbations in both slipping and trailing legs, by innovatively collecting parameters from both the sagittal and frontal plane since both play pivotal roles in maintaining stability and preventing falls and thus provide new insights to fall prevention. We investigated various external factors, including gait speed, surface inclination, slipping foot, and perturbation intensity, while collecting diverse data sets encompassing kinematic, spatiotemporal parameters, electromyographic data, as well as torque, range of motion, rotations per minute, detection, and actuation times.ResultsThe biomechanical response to slip-like perturbations by the hips, knees, and ankles of the slipping leg was characterized by extension, flexion, and plantarflexion moments, respectively. In the trailing leg, responses included hip flexion, knee extension, and ankle plantarflexion. Additionally, these responses were influenced by gait speed, surface inclination, and perturbation intensity. Our study identified target range of motion parameters of 85.19°, 106.34°, and 95.23° for the hips, knees, and ankles, respectively. Furthermore, rotations per minute values ranged from 17.85 to 51.10 for the hip, 21.73 to 63.80 for the knee, and 17.52 to 57.14 for the ankle joints. Finally, flexion/extension torque values were estimated as −3.05 to 3.22 Nm/kg for the hip, −1.70 to 2.34 Nm/kg for the knee, and −2.21 to 0.90 Nm/kg for the ankle joints.DiscussionThis study contributes valuable insights into the biomechanical aspects of slip-like fall prevention and informs the development of wearable robotic systems to enhance safety in vulnerable populations.

IntroductionWhales, dolphins, and porpoises are susceptible to infections by protozoan and metazoan parasites.MethodsIn this study, tissue samples, as well as flatworms and roundworms, were collected from a common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), three short-beaked common dolphins (Delphinus delphis), two striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba), a harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), a long-finned pilot whale (Globicephala melas), and a fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus). These samples were molecularly analyzed.ResultsIn one D. delphis, Toxoplasma gondii was detected in multiple organs, including the cerebellum. The cysts of the tapeworms Clistobothrium delphini and Clistobothrium grimaldii were identified in G. melas. Flukes collected from D. delphis belong to Brachycladium atlanticum, while those removed from S. coeruleoalba probably represent a new species. Four species of lungworms were also identified: Halocercus delphini in S. coeruleoalba, Halocercus sp. in T. truncatus, Stenurus globicephalae in G. melas, and a potentially new Pharurus sp. in P. phocoena.ConclusionThese findings show, to the best of our knowledge, for the first time, the presence of T. gondii DNA in D. delphis. The cerebellum of the animal was Toxoplasma-infected, which might be relevant to inadvertent stranding. In this study, new genetic markers were sequenced for several helminth parasites of marine mammals, possibly including undescribed species.

Published: September 2024

Intercropping is a commonly employed agricultural technique that offers numerous advantages, such as increasing land productivity, enhancing soil health, and controlling soil-borne pathogens. In this study, Artemisia argyi, Dioscorea esculenta, and Arachis pintoi were intercropped with coconuts and compared with naturally growing weeds (Bidens pilosa), respectively. The regulatory mechanism of intercropping was examined by analyzing the variability in soil properties and microbial community structure across different intercropping modes and soil depths (0–20 cm, 20–40 cm, and 40–60 cm). The results indicate that intercropping can increase the diversity of soil bacteria and fungi. Moreover, as soil depth increases, the changes in microbial communities weaken. Intercropping reduced soil SOM and increased pH, which is directly related to the changes in the abundance of Acidobacteria in the soil. In various intercropping systems, the disparities resulting from intercropping with A. pintoi are particularly pronounced. Specifically, intercropping with A. pintoi leads to an increase in soil potassium and phosphorus levels, as well as an enhancement in the abundance of Bacillus sp., which plays a crucial role in the suppression of plant pathogenic fungi within the soil ecosystem. The results of the correlation analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) suggest that the impacts of three intercropping systems on microbial composition and soil indicators exhibit considerable variation. However, a common critical factor influencing these effects is the soil phosphorus content. Furthermore, our findings indicate that intercropping resulted in lower soil nitrogen levels, exacerbating nitrogen deficiency and masking its impact on the microbial community composition.
Reflexiones filosóficas sobre el marco teórico de la etología de Frans de Waal
Authors: Oviedo Lorena Vanesa , Florio Lucio 
Published: September 2024

El presente trabajo se inscribe dentro del cuadro de una epistemología de la etología. El objetivo particular de la propuesta consistirá en resaltar la necesidad de estudiar la conducta animal desde la originalidad perceptiva de las especies sobre la base de una historia evolutiva de las mismas. Se recogerá un concepto introducido por el biólogo estonio Jacob von Uexküll: el Umwelt o percepción del mundo de cada especie. Este concepto tuvo un importante impacto durante el siglo XX, siendo recogido recientemente por el etólogo y primatólogo Frans de Waal. Este investigador reintroduce dicha categoría etológica en una perspectiva evolucionista, aplicándola con restricciones: todos los animales tienen un mundo perceptivo diverso al Homo sapiens, salvo los que son filogénéticamente cercanos.
El método a utilizar consistirá en la revisión de la discusión histórica y presente sobre el tema, a partir de los escritos de F. de Waal. Se intentará mostrar cómo la categoría del Umwelt puede ser útil para pensar la masiva interrelación de las especies con el Homo sapiens en la era del Antropoceno. Los resultados esperados serán de carácter teórico, consistiendo en la comprobación o no de la fecundidad de este concepto en cuanto principio heurístico para la etología actual.

Published: September 2024

The study assessed the profitability and technical efficiency of irrigated tomato production in Katcha, Bosso, and Wushishi Local Government Areas of Niger State, Nigeria. A sample of 122 tomato producers was selected through a multi-stage sampling method. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using gross margin analysis, stochastic frontier function, and descriptive statistics employing a 4-point Likert scale. The total cost of production and total revenue in the study area was N226280.78 per hectare and N1053192.89 per hectare respectively. While the gross margin was 6.5%. Also, the mean technical efficiency of tomato farmers was 0.21 in the study area. Further findings revealed that the coefficient of education, farm size and extension visit had a significant relationship with tomato output. Tomato farmers in the study area encountered significant challenges, primarily the absence of storage facilities and the prohibitive cost of labor. Recommendations include providing training to farmers on post-harvest handling techniques to minimize losses and exploring alternative, cost-effective irrigation sources. Government intervention is crucial in facilitating access to such irrigation alternatives to alleviate financial burdens on farmers.

Published: September 2024

<p><strong>The behaviors of motorcycle drivers are rarely studied, while their behaviors caused considerable danger on driving safety. This study aims to identify risky behaviors of motorcycle drivers. This study was conducted in some roads in Jakarta and Bekasi by adopting the work sampling technique. The results showed that risky behaviors were mainly dominated by not wearing a helmet and by carrying more than one person. These behaviors were most commonly found in areas where it was perceived that there was no police and Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement (ETLE), especially in the Bekasi area. The presence of the police is crucial in preventing risky behavior of the drivers. Therefore, it is recommended to further ensure the presence of the police in areas prone to risky behaviors, especially when ETLE is not yet installed, or when it has not been fully applied.</strong> </p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong> – <em>Motorcycle, Passengers, Risky Behaviors, Work Sampling.</em></p>

В целях повышения эффективности технологии агрегатов АС-67, АС-72 и АС-72M улучшена ранее созданная математическая модель для агрегата АС-60, по которой рассчитана концентрация раствора NHNO, образующегося в реакционной части аппарата ИТН. Полученные для различных условий значения коэффициентов детерминации данной модели в сравнении с её предыдущим аналогом и известным алгоритмом свидетельствуют о более адекватном описании работы аппарата.
In order to increase the efficiency of the technology of the AC-67, AC-72 and AC-72M units, the previously created mathematical model for the AC-60 unit has been improved, according to which the concentration of NHNO solution formed in the reaction part of the ITN apparatus has been calculated. The values of the determination coefficients of this model obtained for various conditions in comparison with its previous analogue and the known algorithm indicate a more adequate description of the operation of the device.

La presente investigación aborda la comorbilidad entre el trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo (TOC) y la esquizofrenia, una condición denominada "trastorno esquizo-obsesivo". Se diseñó un estudio observacional, cuantitativo, descriptivo, prospectivo y transversal en el Hospital Regional de Psiquiatría Héctor H. Tovar Acosta. Se incluyeron pacientes hospitalizados con diagnóstico de esquizofrenia según la CIE-10, excluyendo aquellos con trastornos psicóticos inducidos por sustancias y otras condiciones médicas. Los instrumentos utilizados incluyeron la escala Yale-Brown para medir síntomas obsesivo-compulsivos y la escala Brown Assessment of Beliefs Scale para evaluar la intensidad y la calidad de las creencias delirantes y obsesivas. Los hallazgos revelaron una prevalencia de síntomas obsesivo-compulsivos del 13.6%. La edad promedio de los pacientes era de 40 años, con un 61% con educación secundaria y el 84.1% desempleados. La edad promedio de inicio de la enfermedad fue a los 22 años, con una duración media de 17.5 años desde el diagnóstico. En términos de tratamiento, el 47.7% estaba recibiendo Risperidona y el 34.1% Olanzapina. La mayoría (43 de 44) tenía un diagnóstico de esquizofrenia paranoide. El 50% de los pacientes reportó ideas obsesivas relacionadas con la agresión o la violencia, el 13.6% con la contaminación, y otros con contenido sexual, somático, simetría y misceláneas. En cuanto a compulsiones, el 11.4% experimentó compulsiones de limpieza y el 9.1% de comprobación. Estos hallazgos subrayan la alta prevalencia de síntomas obsesivo-compulsivos en pacientes con esquizofrenia y la necesidad de enfoques diagnósticos y terapéuticos más específicos.
Objects May Be Closer than They Appear: Significant Host Galaxy Dispersion Measures of Fast Radio Bursts in Zoom-in Simulations

Published: September 2024

Abstract
We investigate the contribution of host galaxies to the overall dispersion measures (DMs) for fast radio bursts (FRBs) using the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE-2) cosmological zoom-in simulation suite. We calculate DMs from every star particle in the simulated L* galaxies by ray-tracing through their multiphase interstellar medium, summing the line-of-sight free thermal electron column for all gas elements within ±20 kpc of the galactic midplane. At z = 0, we find average (median) host-galaxy DMs of 74 (43) and 210 (94) pc cm−3 for older (≳10 Myr) and younger (≲10 Myr) stellar populations, respectively. Inclination raises the median DM measured for older populations (≳10 Myr) in the simulations by a factor of ∼2 but generally does not affect the younger stars deeply embedded in H ii regions except in extreme edge-on cases (inclination ≳85°). In kinematically disturbed snapshots (z = 1 in FIRE), the average (median) host-galaxy DMs are higher: 80 (107) and 266 (795) pc cm−3 for older (≳10 Myr) and younger (≲10 Myr) stellar populations, respectively. FIRE galaxies tend to have higher DM values than cosmological simulations such as IllustrisTNG, with larger tails in their distributions to high DMs. As a result, FRB host galaxies may be closer (lower redshift) than previously inferred. Furthermore, constraining host-galaxy DM distributions may help significantly constrain FRB progenitor models.

Published: September 2024

Multiple symmetric lipomatosis (MLS), also known as Launois-Bensaude syndrome or Madelung disease, is a rare metabolic condition characterized by generally symmetrical, non-encapsulated fat accumulations in the patient’s body.
Is there a link between neurological disorders and multiple symmetric lipomatosis, as we demonstrate with our 75-year-old male patient who had an ischemic stroke and was also diagnosed with MLS? Our goal here is to provide an answer to this question.
