Authors: Juca Castro Cristina Alexandra , Orellana Mora Susana Ximena 
Published: July 2024

This research project was focused on answering the following questions: (1) To what degree does the use of content-based games inside the English class help sixth-grade students from Unidad Educativa Particular “Rosa de Jesús Cordero” (Catalinas) to enhance their L2 speaking skills? (2) Which subskill would have the greatest impact by developing oral communication in an L2 class content? There were sixty-eight students as participants, who were divided into two groups of thirty-four students each at the beginning of the school year. The students of each group did not have a homogenous English level. Content-based games learning strategy was applied inside the classroom to encourage the students to improve their L2 speaking skills. A pre test and post test were applied to the treatment and the control group to measure the participants’ speaking skills before and after the intervention. Additionally, ten games were planned and applied based on the curriculum content. The quantitative approach was developed in this research. Findings revealed that the use of content-based games learning strategies had a significant impact on the students on the subskill message for the treatment group.

Mutual calibration of the zero offset of two coaxial gyroscopes in motion
Authors: Chikovani Valerii , Ponomarenko Sergii , Golovach Sergiy , Pishchela Pavlo 
Published: July 2024

The paper considers a method for systematic component correction of two coaxial gyroscope biases in motion under the most general assumptions about their models. This method allows combining heterogeneous MEMS and non-MEMS or optical gyroscopes into a single unit. The algorithm that implements this method requires initial calibration at the stop, for example, based on external information. Further, the algorithm uses the combined processing of data from the redundant sensors to provide more accurate angular rate of the so-called “virtual” gyroscope. The accuracy of the “virtual” gyroscope significantly exceeds the usual average value of these gyroscopes’ data. An application of the correction method to the measurement results of two coaxial metallic resonators' vibratory gyroscopes is given.
The Impact of Social Media Presence on Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship Recruitment: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Woolridge Tiana S. , Bloyd Cooper , Taylor Madelynn , Hatamiya Nicolas , de Borja Celina 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic limited in-person recruitment opportunities for many training programs at academic medical centers. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of social media use among Primary Care Sports Medicine (PCSM) fellowship programs and to investigate the impact of social media on recruitment. Additionally, potential barriers to social media interaction between programs and applicants were examined.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted using publicly available online sources to identify PCSM fellowship programs and corresponding social media accounts. PCSM Fellowship directors were surveyed regarding their program's use of social media. Prospective PCSM Fellowship Applicants and current fellows were surveyed to determine their interaction with PCSM fellowship social media accounts and how social media influenced their perception of the programs.
Results
A total of 211 PCSM fellowship programs were identified on the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) website, of which 83% had a social media presence. The most commonly used platforms were Instagram (43%), Facebook (30%) and Twitter (24%). Among the surveyed fellows and applicants, 95% reported using social media, with 35% reported following PCSM accounts. Of those who did not follow, the most common reason was lack of awareness of these accounts. 22% of respondents indicated that social media positively influenced their perception of a program and its rank list position, while the remainder reported a neutral effect. 47% of the fellowship directors reported their program did not have official guidelines for appropriate social media use. Lack of time, resources, and oversight were identified as the most common barriers to social media use.
Conclusions
A majority of PCSM fellowship programs, fellows, and applicants are present on social media. Social media presence can positively impact an applicant’s view of a program. However, applicants’ lack of awareness of these accounts may serve as a barrier for interaction. The development of universal guidelines for appropriate social media use may help increase adoption and utilization of social media platforms for PCSM fellowship recruitment, particularly during times when in-person recruitment opportunities are limited.

Published: July 2024

Abstract

In this study, we analyzed the effectiveness of a musical intervention based on micro-concerts on the physical and mental health of elderly people in nursing homes. Using an experimental design, 93 people aged 85.33 years (SD = 8.14) were evaluated, of which 80.6% were women, half (47) made up the experimental group that received a 45-minute musical intervention for 15 weekly sessions. A measure was taken before the intervention, another one after session 7 and the las one at the end of the intervention in the experimental and control group. The results indicated that music produced an improvement in physical health (η2partial = 0.059 to 0.099) and mental health (η2partial = 0.039) in the experimental group compared to the control group, which allows us to conclude that a musical intervention produces an improvement in the quality of life of the elderly.
Combining Semiparametric and Machine Learning Approaches for Short-term Prediction of Satellite Clock Bias

Published: July 2024

Abstract

Accurate modeling of satellite clock bias (SCB) is critical for enhancing high-precision positioning capabilities. Existing approaches, including semiparametric adjustment models and neural networks, address the nonlinearity and non-stationarity of SCB time series, as well as potential distortions from trend and noise component overlap. However, its practicality is limited when selecting the kernel functions in semiparametric models and the initial parameters in neural networks. This paper proposes a novel integrated model, the Semi-LFA-Informer (SLFAI) model, which combines semiparametric techniques with optimized self-attention neural networks to solve the above limitations. We utilize the proposed model to conduct the SCB prediction for BDS-3, and the results are compared with those of the quadratic polynomial (QP), spectral analysis (SA), and long short-term memory (LSTM) models in terms of prediction stability and accuracy. The experimental results show that the proposed method can not only effectively solve the problem of the generalization ability, but also significantly enhance the computational efficiency and accuracy. The SLFAI model achieves average prediction accuracies exceeding 0.15 ns, 0.25 ns, and 0.35 ns for 3-hour, 6-hour, and 12-hour forecasts, respectively, representing a new approach to acquiring high-quality SCB.

Abstract

Pooled data portrays wide range of environmental conditions by reducing the effects of outliers. On that basis, character association and path analysis were studied to assist the selection of traits in breeding approach of Cucumis sativus L. Total of 52 genotypes were evaluated at three locations during 2022 and 2023 at College of Horticulture, Bagalkot, Karnataka, India in RCBD design. The correlation estimates revealed that yield per hectare had significant positive correlation with fruit yield per vine(0.99), fruit yield per plot(0.99), number of fruits per vine(0.75) and vine length(0.38). Parameters like vine length, number of branches per plant, days to first and last harvest, sex ratio, fruit length and diameter, TSS, average fruit weight and yield per plot showed direct positive effect on yield per hectare at genotypic level. This suggested that selection criteria based on these parameters may be effective to improve yield per hectare in cucumber.
The Effect of the ANa-AK ratio on Chlorine Incorporation into Hastingsitic Amphiboles
Authors: Matteucci Jared P. , Jenkins David M. , Dyar M. Darby 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Chlorine-rich fluids play an important role in many geological processes, including the formation of economic deposits, crustal and mantle metasomatism, and high-grade metamorphism. Furthermore, the chlorine content of a fluid is often one of the main variables, dictating the fluid’s properties (i.e., the propensity for mass transport). Calcium amphiboles have the potential to be used to determine the chlorinity of paleo fluids, given sufficient knowledge of how Cl is partitioned between amphibole and fluid. Amphiboles with Fe# [= Fe2+/(Fe2+ + Mg)] = 1.0 were synthesized along the hastingsite–potassic-hastingsite join in the presence of variably concentrated FeCl2 brines, ranging from 1 molal to 100 molal. Syntheses were done at 700 °C and 3 kbar at fO2 values near Ni-NiO for durations of 96-132 hours. All amphiboles were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and electron microprobe and several samples were analyzed by Mössbauer spectroscopy to determine ferric iron content. Results showed that amphibole Cl content increased linearly with the mole fraction of Cl in the brine and has no obvious relationship with the K# (= K/(K+Na)). Amphibole Cl contents varied from ~0.05 atoms per formula unit (apfu), synthesized in the most dilute brines, to ~1.05 apfu, synthesized in the most concentrated brines. Amphibole yield was related to the K#, with higher amphibole yields for the more K-rich bulk compositions. The amphibole ferric iron fraction was dependent on the brine FeCl2 concentration, increasing from 0.176 at 1 molal FeCl2, to 0.310 at 24 molal FeCl2. For brines more concentrated than 24 molal FeCl2, the ferric iron fraction significantly decreased to 0.116 at 50 molal FeCl2. The significant decrease in ferric iron fraction also coincided with a transition from magnetite to fayalite as a coexisting phase. The ferric iron fraction seemed to influence the total occupancy of the A site through the following reaction: A+ + Fe2+ ⇋ ☐ + Fe3+, where ☐ is a vacancy. Trends between Fe3+ and Cl display both positive and negative correlations, raising further questions on the role of Fe3+ on Cl incorporation. The findings of this study indicate that for Fe# = 1.0 amphiboles, the Cl concentration of the fluid plays the dominant, or perhaps only, role in amphibole Cl incorporation, with the occupant of the A site being inconsequential.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Earth's average air temperature is warming at a substantial rate leading to an increase in the frequency and severity of extremes with major environmental and socio-economic impacts. The present study discusses temperature and precipitation extremes in Kashmir Valley using observational data from six meteorological stations. An Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI) (http://etccdi.pacificclimate.org/) provides 25 extreme climate indices (15 for temperature and 10 for precipitation) to be used. The absolute extreme temperature indices (TXx, TXn, TNx, and TNn) exhibit increasing tendencies, according to the findings. The number of changes witnessed in daily maximum temperature was greater than the daily minimum temperature which was manifested by increasing diurnal temperature range (DTR; 0.012 °C/year). These changes in extremes have impacts that pose a threat to agriculture, snow day and cover, glaciers, water resources, ecosystem services, etc. of the study region. The region is undergoing significant urban and land system changes making it further vulnerable to natural hazards. The findings are expected to further augment the hazard and risk analysis and the necessary disaster risk reduction measures for climate-related disasters in the region. These analyses will be helpful for the development of strategies for climate risk management in Kashmir.
Gestación subrogada en Uruguay
Authors: Viera Cherro Mariana , Caccia Magdalena 
Published: July 2024

En las últimas décadas, las tecnologías de reproducción asistida han generado importantes transformaciones ampliando el abanico de posibilidades reproductivas. Dentro de la diversidad de prácticas, la gestación subrogada es una de las que genera mayores controversias ya que abre un debate que para los feminismos se asienta, a grandes rasgos, en la salvaguarda de la autonomía reproductiva de las mujeres y su capacidad de decisión, por un lado; y en la posible mercantilización del cuerpo femenino a través del llamado mercado reproductivo, por el otro. A nivel legal, existen diferentes escenarios, que a su vez se encuentran en constante reconfiguración: mientras que la mayoría de los países prohíben esta práctica (lo que genera un gran movimiento de personas hacia los países con legislaciones más permisivas); otros la aceptan con pocas restricciones; por último, algunos países la permiten con condiciones que buscan impedir el afán lucrativo y promover el carácter altruista. Uruguay se ubica dentro de estos últimos. Este artículo busca analizar, a través de entrevistas a mujeres que han sido madres por medio de un contrato de gestación subrogada en el extranjero y a partir del análisis de los proyectos que pretenden cambiar la normativa vigente, las significaciones en pugna en torno a este procedimiento en nuestro país. Se trata de un avance de lo que será una investigación más amplia y pretende así aportar, desde nuestra realidad, a un debate más amplio sobre gestación subrogada en América Latina.

Authors: Vásquez Mirith , Romero Angela , Acosta Diana , Posada Verónica 
Published: July 2024

La primera infancia transcurre desde el nacimiento, pasando por la etapa neonatal hasta la edad preescolar hacia los seis años, donde ocurren grandes y acelerados cambios que deben ser valorados exhaustivamente. Este libro direcciona valoración y cuidado de enfermería a partir de las normas técnicas propuestas por la Organización Mundial de la Salud, el marco legal colombiano, las particularidades fisiológicas y las teorías del desarrollo inherentes a esta edad: desarrollo cognitivo de Piaget, desarrollo psicosocial de Erikson, desarrollo psicosexual de Freud y desarrollo moral de Kohlberg. De esta forma, se hace prevención, intervención y estimulación al infante. Esta obra es un recurso para que el enfermero disponga de un material de orientación y consulta; es una herramienta pedagógica para la adquisición de competencias en el cuidado infantil, partiendo del precepto fundamental de brindar cuidado humanizado, entendido como un interactuar inclusivo, respetuoso y empático donde un acompañante emocionalmente significativo esté permanentemente con el infante, y se privilegie la lúdica como estrategia de cuidado y minimización del estrés.

Published: July 2024

Background:
Neglected parasitic diseases constitute a broad spectrum of clinical
conditions that, in the chronic phase, lack effective therapies for the target population.
The utilization of vaccines based on liposomal nanocarrier systems is emerging,
thereby enhancing clinical outcomes in various comorbidities. Consequently, this study
aims to assess the immunological activity induced by liposomal nanocarriers against neglected
parasitic diseases.

Methods:
For the review, the Pubmed, Embase, and Lilacs databases were used using
the descriptors vaccine, parasite, and liposome. The following inclusion criteria were
adopted: in vivo and in vitro experimental articles. As exclusion criteria: book chapters,
editorials, literature reviews and duplicate articles found during the database search.

Results:
A total of 226 articles were identified, from which 34 were selected for review.
The primary diseases identified included Babesia bovis, Entamoeba histolytica, Leishmania
braziliensis, Leishmania donovani, Leishmania major, Leishmania infantum, Plasmodium
falciparum, Plasmodium chabaudi, Plasmodium chabaudi, Plasmodium yoelii,
Toxoplasma gondii and Trypanosoma cruzi. An elevation in cytokines such as GM-CSF,
MCP-1, INF-γ, TNF-α, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, and IL-17 was observed in
the studies evaluated regarding the parasitic diseases. Furthermore, cytokines such as
IL-4, IL-10, and TGF-β were diminished with the administration of the vaccine systems
in those studies.

Conclusion:
Therefore, the administration of liposomal nanovaccine systems can effectively
ameliorate the clinical condition of patients by modulating their immunological
profile.
Human Amniotic Epithelial Stem Cells Activate Autophagy via the IL-6/STAT3/FOXO3a Pathway to Facilitate Liver Regeneration Following Hepatectomy
Authors: Shu Wenzhi , Song Yisu , Lu Zhengyang Lu , Su Renyi , Yang Mengfan , Xiang Ze , Xu Chenhao , Zheng Shusen , Xu Xiao , Wei Xuyong 
Published: July 2024

Background and Aim:
Post-Hepatectomy Liver Failure (PHLF) leads to a poor prognosis
in patients receiving hepatectomy treatment, and cell therapy can promote liver regeneration.
In this study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of human Amniotic Epithelial Cells (hAECs)
in promoting liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy (PHx) and the underlying molecular
mechanism.

Methods:
We established a 70% PHx liver regeneration model, after which 5×105 hAECs were injected
into the tail vein of mice. The resulting liver function, weight, and immunohistochemistry
data were analyzed to determine whether hAECs can promote liver regeneration. Then, we explored
the possible mechanism by which hAECs promote liver regeneration after PHx through
RNA sequencing. Finally, western blotting and immunofluorescence were used to confirm the discovered
potential mechanism and signaling pathway involved.

Results:
The mice in the hAECs group displayed enhanced liver regeneration 48 hours after 70%
PHx and the expression levels of cell proliferation-related proteins were significantly higher than
those in the control group. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that the key signaling pathway
through which hAECs promote liver regeneration is the FOXO3a pathway. Mechanistically, IL-6
activates FOXO3a through STAT3, thereby promoting liver autophagy to enhance liver regeneration
after PHx. Finally, western blotting and immunofluorescence confirmed that the IL-6/STAT3/
FOXO3a pathway promotes liver regeneration by activating autophagy.

Conclusion:
These results suggest that hAEC treatment promoted liver regeneration after PHx
through the IL-6/ STAT3/FOXO3a/autophagy pathway.

Authors: Liao Chengcheng , Chen Lulu , Xiang Mingli , Long Sichen , Xiang Meiling , Xiao Linlin , Long Qian , Liu Jianguo , Guan Xiaoyan 
Published: July 2024

Abstract:
Hypoxia is a common hallmark in both physiological and pathological states. The adaptation
to hypoxia is a key cellular event in the development and differentiation of stem cells, as
well as in pathological conditions such as ischemia. The hypoxic microenvironment, culture conditions,
and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers have all been shown to enhance the proliferation,
anti-aging properties, immunomodulatory capabilities, differentiation potential, and regenerative
and therapeutic potential of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). However, severe and persistent
hypoxia can be detrimental to the survival and tissue regeneration of DPSCs. Therefore, hypoxic
preconditioning of DPSCs and applying oxygen-releasing materials to mitigate extreme hypoxia
can enhance the regenerative and therapeutic potential in damaged organisms. This article provides
a comprehensive review of the influence of the hypoxic microenvironment on the biological
characteristics of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). It also presents a summary of the recent research
advances in DPSCs regarding tissue regeneration, particularly focusing on the utilization
of hypoxic preconditioning. Additionally, this review highlights the diverse biological effects of
hypoxia on tissue regeneration and proposes promising novel therapeutic strategies.
