Cardiopulmonary coupling-calculated sleep stability and nocturnal heart rate kinetics as a potential indicator for cardiovascular health: a relationship with blood pressure dipping
Authors: Hilmisson Hugi , Thomas Robert Joseph , Magnusdottir Solveig 
Published: August 2024

IntroductionHigh blood pressure (HBP) is an independent, modifiable driver of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. Nocturnal hypertension and non-dipping of blood pressure (NdBP) may be early markers of HBP. Similar to patients with NdBP, individuals with non-dipping of heart rate (NdHR) during sleep have an increased risk of CV disease, CV events, and CV-related mortality. The aim of this analysis was to evaluate if cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) analysis-derived sleep states [stable/unstable non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep] and concomitant heart rate (HR) changes can provide information about nocturnal blood pressure (BP).MethodPlethysmogram (pleth) signals from the HeartBEAT study (NCT01086800) were analyzed for CPC sleep states. Included in the analysis are sleep recordings from participants with acceptable pleth-signal quality at baseline (n = 302) and follow-up (n = 267), all having confirmed CV disease or CV-disease risk factors. The participants had a high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), 98.4% with moderate-OSA [apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 15) and 29.6% severe OSA (AHI ≥ 30). A “heart-rate module” was created to evaluate the utility of identifying patients more likely to have BP dipping during sleep. Patients who did not have a decrease of ≥10% in their BP from wake to sleep were defined as NdBP and NdHR if their heart rate during stable-NREM sleep was higher than during unstable-NREM sleep.ResultsThe most significant difference in minimum HR (HRmin) was observed when comparing BP dippers [56 ± 4 beats per minute (BPM)] and non-BP dippers (59 ± 4 BPM; p &lt; 0.0001) during diastolic blood pressure in stable-NREM sleep. Higher HRmin were associated with an increased likelihood of being a non-dipper, with the strongest relationship with diastolic BP and stable-NREM sleep. Every increase of 1 BPM during stable-NREM sleep was associated with an ~4.4% increase in the probability of NdBP (p = 0.001). Subjects with NdHR have higher mean BP during sleep and wake periods than HR dippers. When continuous positive airway pressure therapy is efficacious, and a dipping pattern is achieved—physical and mental health is improved.ConclusionHR analytics in relation to the sleep period and the CPC spectrogram-estimated sleep states can provide novel and potentially clinically useful information on autonomic health. HR dipping (or not) may be a useful screener of BP dipping or non-dipping to identify individuals who may benefit from a formal assessment of 24-h ambulatory BP. Such a stepped approach may enable a more practical and applicable approach to diagnosing HBP.Clinical Trial RegistrationThe Heart Biomarker Evaluation in Apnea Treatment (HeartBEAT) study is registered at clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01086800.
Colonial Echoes and Eco-centric Resonance in Margaret Atwood’s MaddAddam Trilogy

Published: August 2024

Ecocentrism is an ethical and philosophical perspective that places intrinsic value on the environment and the natural world, independent of its utility to humans. Ecocentrism contrasts with anthropocentrism, which prioritizes human interests and well-being above all else. In other words, ecocentrism emphasizes the intrinsic worth of ecosystems, species, and individual organisms, as well as the interconnectedness of all living things. Historically, colonialism often led to the exploitation of natural resources in colonized regions. European colonial powers frequently extracted timber, minerals, and other resources from their colonies, resulting in deforestation, soil degradation, and environmental damage. Postcolonial scholars and environmentalists have explored how these exploitative practices have had long-lasting ecological impacts. Margaret Atwood is known for her versatile writing style, which seamlessly traverses various literary genres and forms. Her works often blend elements of speculative fiction, dystopia, historical fiction, and realism, showcasing her mastery in creating vivid and thought-provoking narratives. This paper delves into the multifaceted ecological, ethical, and societal themes prevalent in Margaret Atwood’s renowned MaddAddam Trilogy. The research problem centers on the examination of colonial echoes, the shift from anthropocentrism to ecocentrism, the influence of belief systems on ecological values, ethical dilemmas in postcolonial, ecocentric contexts, and the impact on reader consciousness. Atwood’s trilogy eloquently portrays a dystopian world shaped by environmental exploitation, genetic manipulation, and societal upheaval. The narrative intricately weaves together the remnants of colonialism with an urgent call to rediscover humanity’s interconnectedness with nature. The text explores textual evidence and critical analysis from Atwood’s works, emphasizing the significance of character transformations, belief systems, and ethical quandaries in shaping ecocentric values.

Análisis y desarrollo del protocolo IPV6 en la red de datos de la defensoría del pueblo regional Cesar
Authors: Jiménez Paredes Jorge Carlo 
Published: August 2024

A través del presente proyecto se busca describir las Fases I y II de la guía del Ministerio de Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones denominada “Guía de transición de IPv4 a IPv6 para Colombia”, en la red de datos de la sede de la Defensoría del Pueblo – Regional Cesar. Lo anterior, debido al agotamiento de las direcciones IPv4 que exige realizar dicha transición para no quedar offline (fuera de línea), es decir, sin acceso a Internet y por ende sin operatividad. Así mismo, en la Resolución 1126 de 2021 del Ministerio de Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones se fija como fecha límite para culminar el proceso de transición a las entidades estatales el 30 de junio de 2022. Al desarrollar la Fase I (análisis), se identificará el nivel de preparación de la entidad para realizar la migración al protocolo de Internet IPv6, determinando a través de un plan de diagnóstico el porcentaje de compatibilidad de hardware y software, y de esta manera especificar cuáles equipos y servicios deben reemplazarse y/o actualizarse antes de iniciar con el proceso. El despliegue de la Fase II (desarrollo), permitirá habilitar el direccionamiento IPv6 para cada uno de los componentes de hardware y software de acuerdo al plan de diagnóstico de la primera fase y también configurar los servicios sobre IPv6 de DNS (Domain Name System o Sistema de Nombres de Dominio), DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol o Protocolo de configuración dinámica de host), Seguridad, VPN (Virtual Private Network o red privada virtual RPV), servicios WEB, entre otros y de esta manera validar su funcionabilidad y operatividad. Adicionalmente, es necesario coordinar con la ISP (Internet Service Provider o proveedor de servicios de Internet), para establecer el enrutamiento y la conectividad integral en IPv6 hacia el exterior.
El desarrollo del proyecto está enmarcado en los pilares de la Estrategia de Gobierno en Línea, es decir: Gobierno Abierto, Privacidad y Seguridad de la Información y TIC para la Gestión. Todo lo planteado surge debido a que los sistemas de información y las plataformas informáticas que utilizan Internet se han convertido en la columna vertebral y en una herramienta fundamental para las empresas hoy en día, ya que a través de él se realizan operaciones y transacciones que van ligadas a su quehacer.
De igual manera, se requiere dejar plasmado un documento piloto que se utilice como ejemplo para que se pueda replicar en las demás sedes a nivel nacional al momento de implementar el protocolo.

Birth Weight (BBL) is the weight measured within the first hour after birth, normally 2.500-4.000 grams. The gestation period is defined as the period of pregnancy starting from conception until birth of the fetus. The toddler years are a period of very rapid and critical growth, usually known as the golden age. The aim of the research was to determine the relationship between Birth Weight (BBL) and gestation period with growth and development in toddlers at Posyandu Titi Harum, Sungai Lala Village. This type of research is quantitative with a correlational approach. This research was carried out at Posyandu Titi Harum and Kasih Ibu, Sungai Lala Village. In November 2023. The population in this study was 95 respondents using a total sampling technique. Bivariate data analysis technique, data collection method using the KPsp questionnaire sheet. The results showed that toddlers in the normal BBL category (67,37%), abnormal BBL (32,63%), premature (25,26%), not premature (74,74%), had appropiate growth and development (67,37%) and not appropriate (32,63%). The results of the chi-square test obtained a p-value = 0,001 which shws that there is a significant between birth weight and gestation period and the growth and development of toddlers at Posyandu Titi Harum and Kasih Ibu Sungai Lala Village in. It is hoped that monitoring of growth and development will be further improved through routine early detection of deviations in children.
NARRATIVAS DE VIDA: UNA APROXIMACIÓN FEMINISTA DE INVESTIGACIÓN PARA LA GENERACIÓN DE REFLEXIVIDAD CRÍTICA

A partir de una perspectiva feminista, se presentan las posibilidades y límites de una técnica de investigación cualitativa que considera la participación activa de las personas que se articulan con la investigadora bajo una perspectiva crítica y con un rescate de su experiencia emocional corporeizada, como es la construcción de Narrativas de Vida. Este método feminista desafía las tradicionales maneras de generación de conocimiento cualitativo al promover una relación horizontal entre la persona investigadora y participante, y pretende hacer frente al cuestionado extractivismo académico, presente en la universidad contemporánea. En este caso, se generaron cuatro Narrativas de Vida con académicas que son o fueron directoras de programas de doctorado en universidades chilenas y que lideraron el proceso de aseguramiento de la calidad de sus programas. Se presentan los límites tanto técnicos como también respecto de las posibilidades efectivas de mover las estructuras tradicionales en la forma de producción de conocimiento. Asimismo, si bien esta técnica busca hacer frente a las críticas feministas relacionadas con el hecho de dejar la corporalidad y emocionalidad fuera de la investigación, no siempre esta incorporación es lograda con personas participantes ubicadas en posiciones de poder. Se concluye que este método permite una reflexividad critica propia de los trabajos feministas, permite desentrañar las dinámicas de poder presentes en los procesos de construcción del saber y además permite ver las consecuencias que las prácticas de investigación tienen tanto en los sujetos implicados como en sus contextos.

Authors: Pichiyá Umul Edgar Rolando 
Published: August 2024

Las investigaciones que se realizan sobre el tratamiento de aguas grises buscan aportar a la sostenibilidad y la conservación de los recursos hídricos. En esta investigación se evaluó un sistema económico de tratamiento de aguas grises mediante un prototipo de cuatro barriles, basado en materiales reciclados y de bajo costo, inspirado en el "Barrel System" de Jordania utilizado en el año 2007. El sistema incluye cuatro compartimentos: uno para eliminación de grasas, otro con grava en su interior, y dos con arena antracita. El estudio utilizó aguas grises de una lavadora y un lavatrastos, excluyendo otras fuentes debido a limitaciones hidráulicas, de espacio y costo. Para evaluar la eficiencia de remoción de sólidos sedimentables, demanda química de oxígeno (DQO), demanda bioquímica de oxígeno (DBO5), potencial de hidrógeno (pH) y fósforo total (Pt) se utilizó el método 1060B de los Métodos Normalizados para el análisis de Aguas Potables y Residuales. El análisis estadístico se trabajó con un 95% de confianza. Los resultados mostraron una remoción promedio del 54% para la demanda bioquímica de oxígeno, 48% para la demanda química de oxígeno. Se identificaron diferencias significativas entre los valores iniciales de sólidos sedimentables y fósforo total con tendencia a reducirse y el potencial de hidrógeno tuvo una reducción significativa del 9% de su valor inicial promedio. Este sistema de filtración múltiple presenta una propuesta viable para el tratamiento de agua residual a nivel domiciliar.

This study investigates the employment of swear words in the selected films of the renowned Filipino director, Jerrold Tarog entitled, Heneral Luna and Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral respectively. Significantly, this addresses knowledge gap through which aims to raise awareness on topic people have little and fixated knowledge in terms of swearing and the underlying factors alongside it. To achieve an in-depth analysis of swear words in communication, the researchers make use of the Content Analysis anchored on the theory of Sociolinguistics by Jane Holmes (2001) and is fortified by the Utterance Emotion Dynamics Framework introduced by Hipson and Mohammad and Paralinguistic by Trager. Upon scrutinization, the findings reveal that in totality, there are eleven (11) emotions revolving around the aforementioned films. These emotions consist of (1) Anger, (2) Disbelief, (3) Disgust, (4) Frustration, (5) Surprise, (6) Fear, (7) Irritation, (8) Confusion, (9) Sarcasm, (10) Excitement, and (11) Arrogance. Among the identified emotions, data provide that people ultimately swear due to exasperation, basically known as anger. This paper concludes by putting on an emphasis on the importance of understanding the complex nature of swear words by delving deeper into its multifaceted nature.
Politeness in Computer-Mediated Pragmatics of Complaint Tweets by Clients of Ghanaian-based Telecom Networks

Published: August 2024

This study investigates tweets of clients of three telecommunication networks in Ghana, to determine the various politeness strategies they employ while lodging complaints. 403 complaint tweets were purposively sampled and analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively using Brown and Levinson’s (1978, 1987) politeness framework and Anchimbe and Janney’s (2011) Postcolonial Pragmatics models. Results indicate that most complaints have some linguistic indicators that correspond to at least one of Brown and Levinson’s politeness strategies. Patterns emerging show that most complainants had suffered various network instabilities which had affected their daily routines; hence, causing them to make interrogative utterances with little or no mitigations. This probably accounted for the frequent use of more bald-on-record and negative politeness strategies than others. However, the competitive frequencies between positive and negative politeness strategies seem to align more with the cultural orientation of participants than a mere attempt to consider the face needs of network providers as argued by Brown and Levinson (1987).
Impact of Mau Mau Movement on The Family Unit: A Case Study of Nyandarua County From 1952 to 1963

After the establishment of colonial rule, colonial land, labour, racial and other exploitative policies forced the Africans to take arms against colonial oppression. This led to Mau Mau War of Liberation. This war had far-reaching effects on the family unit. The purpose of this research is to identify the impact of the Mau Mau war on children and the family unit a case of Nyandarua County from 1952-1963. The social conflict theory has been used to explain how family unit endured heart trending consequences during the period of Mau Mau war. The Mau Mau war disrupted African child’s formal education. Independent schools were closed as the colonialists perceived these areas as breeding grounds for the guerilla fighters. School-going children who underwent the oath ritual were collected from schools. Teachers had done their assignment of indoctrinating them. Majority of these young children joined the forest fighters. Those who were left at home did nothing substantial with their days. Some spent their days singing freedom songs, others lazing around. Apparently, those who were from parents of collaborators continued attending the mission schools. They too had their fair share of agony. Learning too was disrupted after the Africans were moved into the villages where families were congested leaving no space for learners to study. The Mau Mau fighters looted them leaving them devoid of valuable teaching and learning essentials. At the peak of the Mau Mau war, colonialists turned schools into torture camps. Hard cores were brought to schools and tortured, women were sexually assaulted, while others bit the dust as a result of the colonial bullet. All this happened as learners were watching. This affected them psychologically. The study shall further illustrate how the war psychologically affected members of the Kikuyu families, especially the children. The view of dead bodies was horrendous to the children. Some of the informants of this study have never been able to shed off these effects even to date. The war separated family members. Some parents lost their children during the war. Others, their parents entered the forest leaving their families in the villages. Unfortunately, most Africans never returned home as they were killed by the colonial bullets. Women were forced to take up roles traditionally performed by men. Colonialists forced women to dig trenches, build bridges and roads. Furthermore, women were forced to take up security roles formally done by men. Physical violence meted on Africans, has forced some people to live with physical incapacitation; some with broken limbs, pierced eyes and broken jaws. Women were the more susceptible to the colonial wrath. Most were sexually abused leaving them with permanent physical and mental scars. In the home front, Africans suffered during the war period. Food was never enough, houses could not accommodate the growing number of Africans and property was confiscated by the Europeans
