Knee osteoarthritis is categorized classically as a non-inflammatory arthropathy. However, there has been increasing evidence regarding the supplementary role of inflammation in the pathogenesis and disease progression of knee osteoarthritis. This study aims to identify a potential correlation between synovial fluid white blood cell (SF WBC) count and the severity of knee osteoarthritis clinical presentation. 200 knees (200 patients) were assessed through SF aspiration and cytology analysis for WBC count. All patients have filled out the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for clinical correlation. For the 200 knees, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between the severity of osteoarthritis clinical presentation as expressed by the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcomes Score (KOOS) and the synovial white blood cell count among the studied cases (p-value < 0.001). There was no statistically significant correlation found between the patient's age, sex, or side and KOOS or SF white cell count. The clinical severity of knee osteoarthritis is directly correlated with increased SF white cell count, and hence, SF WBCs may play a role in identifying and grading osteoarthritis clinical severity. This may raise the interest in identifying the role of using specific disease-modifying drugs that deal with the WBC function in cases of osteoarthritis along with other modalities.

Reply to Head's comment on “The Volyn biota (Ukraine) – indications of 1.5 Gyr old eukaryotes in 3D preservation, a spotlight on the `boring billion' ” by Franz et al. (2023)

Published: September 2024

Abstract. Head et al. (2024) emphasize the importance of the Volyn biota for evolution, especially in the so-called “boring billion”, in a detailed outline about the biological and geological context. However, they question the idea that the Volyn biota represent Precambrian fossils and instead argue that they contain young contaminants of “museum dust”. In addition, they question their biotic origin. We present here a detailed discussion of their points of concern based on presented data, including some additional information. Their points of concern were as follows: One object, shown by Franz et al. (2023a), is similar to a pollen grain, and another object is similar to trichomes; we show indications of fossilization and summarize our arguments against “museum dust”. They question the fossil character of the biota and argue for a biomineralization; we show that the biomineralization in trichomes is distinct from the mineralization of the biota. They missed information about the internal structure; we repeat the presented information about the internal structure in more detail, which is also indicative of fossil material and inconsistent with trichomes. They argue that we did not compare the biota with recent fungi via infrared spectroscopy; since the biota experienced temperatures near 300 °C, we think that a comparison with thermally degraded chitosan is more appropriate. They question the use of strongly negative δ13C as an argument for biotic origin, but we show that, in combination with positive δ15N values and the geological situation, a biotic origin is more likely than abiotic synthesis. In addition, Popov (2023) questioned the age of the Volyn biota, which we postulated as between approximately 1.5 and 1.7 Ga. He argues that the fossils could be Phanerozoic. We will also outline our arguments for the minimum age of 1.5 Ga.
The dynamics of peak head responses at Dutch canal dikes and the impact of climate change
Authors: Strijker Bart , Kok Matthijs 
Published: September 2024

Abstract. The management of water and flood risk levels in low-lying polder regions depends on the performance of canal dikes. Heavy rainfall can lead to peak hydraulic heads within the dikes affecting their stability, which can induce dike breaches. Variations in head responses and head statistics are both relevant for regional flood risk analysis of canal dike systems. This study examined the dynamics of peak heads in canal dikes on a national scale using time series models calibrated on observed heads. Various model structures are evaluated and a nonlinear model performed the best. These models were used to simulate long-term head time series. Subsequently, dike clusters were identified based on the coincidence of peak heads, allowing for the identification of dikes where peaks are caused by (dis)similar types of rainfall events. The differences and similarities in peak head response were related to physical dike characteristics. While no single significant relationship emerged, the soil type combined with the width of the dike appears to be important factors influencing the variation in head responses. However, the presence of the same soil type and dike widths in multiple clusters indicates that these characteristics do not yield a definitive outcome for the head response. Moreover, peak head statistics across various dikes were derived and indicated that extreme and yearly load conditions are relatively close to each other, with a median decimation height of only 15 centimeters. The head statistics are affected by climate change, characterized by increasing winter precipitation and summer evaporation. By 2100, extreme peak heads are expected to occur between 3 times less and 8 times more frequently, depending on the climate scenario and the type of canal dike.
DINÂMICA ESPACIAL DA INDÚSTRIA E OS ARRANJOS PRODUTIVOS LOCAIS DE CONFECÇÕES NO ESTADO DE GOIÁS (2006–2021)
Authors: Castro Sérgio Duarte de , Ribeiro Karinne  Silva 
Published: September 2024

Esse artigo analisa as transformações na localização das atividades da indústria de confecções em Goiás e suas implicações para as políticas de apoio a APLs desse segmento no estado. Utiliza o Quociente Locacional (QL) e recortes a partir do número mínimo de firmas e empregos nos municípios e seu entorno para identificar as aglomerações de confecções e suas transformações entre 2006 e 2021. Conclui que houve importantes mudanças no período, com destaque para a perda de densidade em termos de empregos e firmas nos núcleos das aglomerações maiores e mais antigas, lideradas por Goiânia e Jaraguá, e o surgimento de uma nova grande aglomeração no oeste goiano, liderada por São Luís dos Montes Belos. Diferentemente das primeiras, que contam com uma forte base de pequenas empresas focadas em marcas próprias, essa última concentração é estruturalmente mais vulnerável, porque a maior parte das firmas é dependente do desempenho de uma única grande empresa que se instalou na região. Argumenta que entender essa realidade é crucial para a retomada de políticas de promoção de APLs de confecções em Goiás, abalados por múltiplas crises, sobretudo considerando que, de um lado, o novo cenário de retomada do crescimento econômico com desconcentração de renda é favorável para a expansão dos APLs de confecções do estado, mas, de outro, a concorrência chinesa continua como uma ameaça importante.

Published: September 2024

Introducción: El gasto de bolsillo de salud se refiere a los gastos directos que realizan las personas por servicios médicos, medicamentos y otros cuidados de salud. En los pacientes con enfermedades crónicas se vuelve significativo por la carga económica que genera en el hogar. Objetivo: analizar las características del gasto de bolsillo de salud y su efecto económico en los hogares de pacientes con Diabetes e Hipertensión arterial en el primer nivel de atención. Metodología: Se realizó una investigación cuantitativa, no experimental de corte transversal. Incluyó una muestra no aleatoria de 201 pacientes de las Unidades de Salud de la Familia del Distrito de Encarnación, a quienes se les aplicó una encuesta con una medición de una sola vez. Las variables dependientes fueron gasto de bolsillo de salud, razón gasto/ingresos, gasto excesivo de salud y gasto catastrófico en salud. Las variables independientes: Tipo de enfermedad crónica y presencia de complicaciones. La asociación significativa se determinó mediante pruebas de Chi2, Kruskal Wallis y Mann-Whitney (p<0,05). Resultados: Se encontró que el 75% tuvo gasto de bolsillo principalmente por hospitalización y medicamentos. El gasto fue excesivo para el 22% de los casos y catastrófico para el 10%. El gasto se asoció significativamente con el tipo de enfermedad crónica y con la presentación de complicaciones. Conclusión: Se denotó que el acceso a medicamentos no fue asequible y que la protección financiera del sistema no fue suficiente porque los pacientes incurrieron a gastos excesivos y catastróficos de salud.

Exploring the State of Mental Well-Being Among B40 Women
Authors: Abd Aziz Nurul Syahirah 
Published: September 2024

The solution projects under The All-Party Parliamentary Group Malaysia on the Sustainable Development Goals (APPGM-SDG) have played a significant role in empowering the local communities, particularly women through Income Generation (IG) and Community Learning Center (CLC) projects. The initiative consists of twelve modules on entrepreneurship skills and handholding, with a minimum of 10 to 25 beneficiaries from the B40 category who are mentored by the Solution Provider (SP) throughout the following three to four months. Each project was awarded a RM40,000 grant to provide the beneficiaries with skills and knowledge that will allow them to be independent entrepreneurs. It was discovered through the four case studies that adhered to SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) that certain female beneficiaries were experiencing such high levels of life pressure that negatively impacted their mental health due to a lack of necessary coping strategies to manage the stress and uncomfortable emotions. The reasons vary, ranging from personal issues and societal pressures to the inherent challenges of entrepreneurship. The finding shows that the project’s method of group activities or social groups enhances the beneficiaries’ mental health by providing them with encouragement, hope, and drive to succeed in life. It is also highly recommended to provide mental health awareness as one of the compulsory modules in the solution projects to equip women with appropriate coping techniques for overall success.

This article deals with the attention given to a family from the Family Treatment office which forms part of the Public Social Service System. First we will offer a general overview since this will determine the typology of the population attended to and the way that the intervention is carried out. Then, the personal evolution of a family is described by different criteria, throughout a process that lasts years, and through treatments that were carried out. All of this heading towards a change that allowed them to redefine themselves as people and later as a family. This process lends itself to a discussion about the aspects that came up from the project carried out, once a period of time has passed.

From a humanitarian, ethical and professional view, we present a reflection on the results of the scientific literature on factors that can provide the best quality of life possible for old people, and their relatives, at the end of their lives. Our conclusions are based as well on a case analysis coming from an exploratory research conducted by our research team. The study was aimed at understanding the experiences of the dependent old people and their families (Gómez, 2007). Data shows that most of our old people are in fact cared by their families, that old people prefer staying at home than living in institutions and that, sometimes, to assist old people may be a heavy burden difficult to stand.

Published: September 2024

Autism is a neuropsychological disorder that began to be diagnosed just few decades ago. In 1943, Leo Kanner described it for the first time, being the beginning of the clinical study of a syndrome that, until that moment, was unknown. However, there are evidences indicating that the disorder has always existed, as shown by a number of publications. From the 60s until now, there have been numerous researches and contributions from diverse disciplines that reflect the enormous complexity of the disorder. The aim of this work is to make a historical trip to ascertain which has been the outcome of the clinical and developmental studies of the autistic disorder up till now. To this end, the most significant moments that have contributed to define autism as currently known are highlighted. CITE AS:López Gómez, S., Rivas Torres, R.M. & Taboada Ares, E.M. (2010).

Trainees in family therapy explored the impact of the contribution that their experiences in their families of origin made to their knowledge and competency as family therapists. The importance of these experiences as a valuable resource was researched beginning in 2003 in the Mara Selvini Palazzoli School in Milan and beginning in 2007 with trainees of the Institute of Family Therapy in Santiago de Chile (this project continues). Being a work in process we can present some preliminary conclusions that will be subject to further investigations and which will be presented in detail in future publications. We have made progress, both in the comprehension of the vocational choice of the trainees and in the acquisition of new abilities and competences for the professional practice. CITE AS:Canevaro, A.

The migration of people from places with huge economical or security problems to areas with broader guarantees has become a relevant topic of our age. The difficulties of the migration process itself raise when the migrating subjects are underage non accompanied children. The present study wants to show the results obtained in a pilot project where 12 Moroccan minors took part in a group treatment focused on family. From each participant, pretest and posttest measures were obtained in variables such as depression, self steem, alexythimia and family relationship. The statistical analysis show significative pretest-postest differences on each studied variable, as well as high effect sizes. These results suggest that when working with non accompanied foreign children the family of origin of the minor is a relevant factor that must be taken into account.

Sometimes the psychological training is not entirely effective. If we work with an athlete in order to optimize the performance and we design a program of psychological training regardless of their limitations, it may not get the expected benefits. We present a working model in which the psychological training would go into the background and would be implemented only when the athletes’ beliefs that do not limit their performance. The work of the sport psychologist in most cases should focus on changing beliefs that limit performance and leave the psychological training for specific cases where such beliefs do not interfere.

Dificultades para el fomento de una comprensión reflexiva en el ámbito de la disciplina psicológica
Authors: SAN MARTÍN MARTÍNEZ Concepción 
Published: September 2024

In this work we analyze the difficulties for fomenting a reflective thought on psychology’s learning and teaching. There are important elements to approach this question: the paradigmatic diversity of psychological discipline, the tensions among different theoretical and practical perspectives, the role of ideologies, beliefs and attributions in the construction of the knowledge. We study the reasonings elaborated by a group of40 Psychology students. These reasonings were about the relations between culture and school failure. They were initially elaborated individually and later there was a joint debate. We demonstrate the difficulty for applying sociocultural reasonings to explain the school problematics. It seems that this fact is related to the potential contradictions created between own beliefs or opinions and the study materials provided. We believe that to be able to show these difficulties and contradictions turns out to be fundamental to generate an authentic reflective process in learning.
