A Wolof version of Sunjata from The Gambia
Authors: Sawse Ali 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Introduction to, analysis of and text of a version of the Sunjata epic narrated in 1950 by Ali Sawse, recorded by David W. Ames and published in a collection of African folklore by Harold Courlander in 1975. Sawse was a Wolof bard from The Gambia and his text is an example of how the story of Sunjata has spread beyond Manding culture. Other examples of the spread and evolution of the Sunjata narrative beyond Manding culture are referenced to including those recorded by Michael Jackson among the Kuranko, a Mande-speaking people of Sierra Leone.
Aperfeiçoamento do Método 40P/30G/30C para o Emagrecimento
Authors: Agrela Rodrigues Fabiano de Abreu 
Published: April 2024

A busca incessante pelo emagrecimento muitas vezes leva à adoção de dietas restritivas e sacrifícios alimentares. No entanto, uma estratégia simples e promissora surge como alternativa: a ordem dos alimentos no prato. O estudo "Método 40P/30G/30C" propõe uma sequência específica para o consumo dos macronutrientes (40% proteínas, 30% gorduras e 30% carboidratos) com o objetivo de auxiliar na perda de peso. Foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico e uma análise descritiva sobre o Método de dieta 40P 30G 30C descrito por Abril e Rodrigues (2023), assim como uma análise acerca dos pontos de melhorias e aperfeiçoamentos deste método. Foi possível observar que este tipo de dieta pode trazer de fato benéficos a alguns adeptos, sendo de fato eficaz, entretanto, devido a diversidade de realidades e casos dos mais variados pacientes, algumas pessoas podem não ser tão beneficiadas pelo método, tendo em vista que o mesmo utiliza parâmetros fisiológicos e metabólitos gerais e de um padrão, o que por vezes não ocorre na realidade, pois cada paciente possui taxas únicas e necessidades nutricionais variáveis, sendo desta forma extremamente necessário uma análise específica por pessoa, bem como ajustes necessários na dieta para a mesma.

Comorbidity is more the rule than the exception in mental health, specifically in the case of anxiety and depression. Transdiagnostic models studied the underlying processes to improve mental health treatment and understating. Objective: This systematic review searchs for evidence on transdiagnostic risk factors for anxiety and depression in the clinical population diagnosed with these psychopathological conditions, by analysing the different types or categories of factors identified. Methods: A systematic review was registered in PROSPERO (registration number CRD42022370327) and was designed according to PRISMA-P guidelines. Two independent reviewers with field knowledge assessed the study quality to reduce bias. Results: Fifty-three articles were examined, and the transdiagnostic variables were grouped into three categories: psychological, biological, and sociocultural.
Conclusions: The most studied category was that of psychological variables, especially cognitive processes, negative affect, and neuroticism, intolerance of uncertainty, anxiety sensitivity. Biological and sociocultural factors require more study to support their transdiagnostic approach.

METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE OPTIMAL HEIGHT OF THE GAS ANALYZER FOR SMALL LEAKS OF HYDROGEN-CONTAINING GAS
Authors: Rebezov Sergey , Timoshenko Artem 
Published: April 2024

To date, safety measures for storage of hydrogen in liquefied or gaseous state, requirements to storage rooms of this substance, necessary equipment to be installed in such rooms are incompletely studied. At small hydrogen leaks there is an explosion and fire hazard consisting in formation of explosive clouds for a long period of time, in some cases the formation of local clouds of explosive hydrogen-air mixtures automatic gas analyzers cannot fix. The purpose of this work is to determine the optimal height of the gas analyzer in a relatively airtight, unventilated room in which technological equipment for the production of hydrogen-containing gas is located and its small leaks are possible. The model experiment on measuring the concentration of hydrogen-containing mixture at different heights above the leakage place was carried out. A method of determining the optimal height of the gas analyzer above
the leakage site was developed. The data on changes in the concentration of hydrogen-containing mixture at different heights above the leakage site were obtained. The optimum height of the gas analyzer location at small leaks of hydrogen-containing gas and technological equipment is revealed.

Abstract
This article begins by highlighting the literary and philosophical singularity in the viceroyalty of Peru in the figure of one of the most outstanding representatives of the 17th century, the Dominican priest from Cusco Juan Espinosa Medrano, also known as 'El Lunarejo'. I seek in an introductory way to present his most significant literary and philosophical works, to then highlight his theory on universals, specifically his innovative analysis of the differences between Plato and Aristotle on the subject, contained in his Philosophia Thomistica seu Cursus Philosophicus, published in Rome in 1688. Given the conceptual plurality that is usually intertwined with theories on universals and for a proper appreciation of Medrano’s writings, I will try to faithfully transcribe his theories respecting his assumptions. I intend to show the relevance of Juan Espinosa Medrano’s work in the formation of Latin American philosophical and literary thought.
Nociones filosóficas en el poema Vida de santa Rosa de Luis Antonio de Oviedo y Herrera (siglo XVII)
Authors: Eichmann Oehrli Andres Pablo 
Published: April 2024

Resumen
Entre los escritos extensos de Luis Antonio de Oviedo y Herrera se cuenta su Vida de santa Rosa de santa María. Poema heroico. En este trabajo se hará una aproximación a las nociones filosóficas que asoman en el poema, sobre todo con ocasión de diversos episodios de la vida de la santa de Lima. En primer lugar, se verá el tratamiento poético con el que el autor retrata la virtud, siguiendo pautas que lo aproximan a Cesare Ripa y conceptos que arrancan en la poesía y en la filosofía de la antigua Grecia. Seguidamente se examinarán pasajes de la vida de santa Rosa en los que puede observarse el imperio de la razón sobre los apetitos. Por último, después de comprobar que participa del agustinismo en su consideración de la memoria como «potencia superior» (junto con la inteligencia y la voluntad), se verá la afinidad del pensamiento de Oviedo y Herrera con algunos neoescolásticos del primer tercio del siglo XVII en relación con el tratado de anima, en concreto con el modo de concebir los sentidos internos. Sin duda, los estudios que llevó a cabo en Salamanca le permitieron explorar estos fenómenos no solamente con una expresión poética exquisita, sino además con precisión y solvencia en el terreno filosófico.

Abstract
Among the extensive writings of Luis Antonio de Oviedo y Herrera is his Vida de Santa Rosa de Santa María (Life of Saint Rose de Santa María). Heroic Poem. In this work we will examine the philosophical notions that appear in the work, especially concerning various episodes in the life of the saint from Lima. First of all, we will look at the poetic treatment with which the author portrays virtue, following guidelines that bring him close to Cesare Ripa and concepts that are rooted in the poetry and philosophy of ancient Greece. We will then examine passages from the life of Saint Rose in which the rule of reason over the appetites can be observed. Finally, after verifying that the author participates in Augustinism in his consideration of memory as a “superior power” (together with intelligence and will), we will see the affinity of Oviedo y Herrera’s thought with some neo-scholastics of the first third of the 17th century in relation to the treatise on anima, in particular as regardfs the way of conceiving the internal senses. Undoubtedly, the studies he carried out in Salamanca allowed him to explore these phenomena not only with exquisite poetic expression, but also with precision and credibility in the philosophical field.

Background:Ketamine has emerged as one of the most promising therapies for treatment-resistant depression. However, inter-individual variability in response to ketamine is still not well understood and it is unclear how ketamine’s molecular mechanisms connect to its neural and behavioral effects.Methods:We conducted a single-blind placebo-controlled study, with participants blinded to their treatment condition. 40 healthy participants received acute ketamine (initial bolus 0.23 mg/kg, continuous infusion 0.58 mg/kg/hr). We quantified resting-state functional connectivity via data-driven global brain connectivity and related it to individual ketamine-induced symptom variation and cortical gene expression targets.Results:We found that: (i) both the neural and behavioral effects of acute ketamine are multi-dimensional, reflecting robust inter-individual variability; (ii) ketamine’s data-driven principal neural gradient effect matched somatostatin (SST) and parvalbumin (PVALB) cortical gene expression patterns in humans, while the mean effect did not; and (iii) behavioral data-driven individual symptom variation mapped onto distinct neural gradients of ketamine, which were resolvable at the single-subject level.Conclusions:These results highlight the importance of considering individual behavioral and neural variation in response to ketamine. They also have implications for the development of individually precise pharmacological biomarkers for treatment selection in psychiatry.Funding:This study was supported by NIH grants DP5OD012109-01 (A.A.), 1U01MH121766 (A.A.), R01MH112746 (J.D.M.), 5R01MH112189 (A.A.), 5R01MH108590 (A.A.), NIAAA grant 2P50AA012870-11 (A.A.); NSF NeuroNex grant 2015276 (J.D.M.); Brain and Behavior Research Foundation Young Investigator Award (A.A.); SFARI Pilot Award (J.D.M., A.A.); Heffter Research Institute (Grant No. 1–190420) (FXV, KHP); Swiss Neuromatrix Foundation (Grant No. 2016–0111) (FXV, KHP); Swiss National Science Foundation under the framework of Neuron Cofund (Grant No. 01EW1908) (KHP); Usona Institute (2015 – 2056) (FXV).Clinical trial number:NCT03842800
Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging analyses and clinical significance of hyperintense white matter lesions in systemic lupus erythematosus patients

Published: December 2008

AbstractObjectiveTo analyze the clinical significance of hyperintense white matter (WM) lesions in both symptomatic and asymptomatic systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.MethodsWe studied 120 consecutive SLE patients and 44 healthy volunteers. Fluid attenuated inversion recovery and T2‐weighted magnetic resonance images (MRI) were used for visual and semiautomatic volumetric measurements.ResultsAt baseline, 61 MRI were normal and 59 had hyperintense WM lesions. Mean volumes of WM lesions were 96.14 (SD = 85.14) mm3 in T2 weighted and 197.2 (161.13) mm3 in FLAIR images. The volume of WM lesions was associated with age (r = 0.45; p = 0.01), total corticosteroid dose (r = 0.53; p = 0.001), and Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology Damage Index scores (r = 0.55; p = 0.002). After a median follow‐up time of 24 months (SD = 2.3; range = 12–28 months), 20 patients had still normal MRIs, 30 patients had stable MRI findings, and 30 had new WM lesions. Predictors for new or increased WM lesions were past central nervous system manifestations (p = 0.001; OR = 12.2; 95% CI = 3.5–21.2), antiphospholipid antibodies (p = 0.003; OR = 6.9; 95% CI = 2.1–15.3); Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology Damage Index scores (p = 0.002; OR = 7.2; 95% CI = 1.4–17.8) and higher dose of total corticosteroid dose (p = 0.01; OR = 2.4; 95% CI = 1.4–6.7).ConclusionSmall hyperintense WM lesions in SLE are associated with central nervous system symptoms and antiphospholipid antibodies, and progress over time in patients with more severe SLE. Therefore, in the context of SLE, these lesions are likely consequences of central nervous system damage and not mere incidental finding. Ann Neurol 2008;64:635–643
Quantitative in vivo magnetic resonance imaging of multiple sclerosis at 7 Tesla with sensitivity to iron

Published: December 2008

AbstractObjectiveMagnetic resonance imaging at 7 Tesla produces high‐resolution gradient‐echo phase images of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) that quantify the local field shifts from iron in the basal ganglia and lesions. Phase imaging is easily integrated into clinical examinations because it is a postprocessing technique and does not require additional scanning. The purpose of this study was to quantify local field shifts in MS and to investigate their relation to disease duration and disability status.MethodsThirty‐two subjects including 19 patients with MS and 13 age‐ and sex‐matched control subjects were scanned at a spatial resolution of up to 195 × 260μm. Data were postprocessed to produce anatomical quantitative phase images of local field shifts, as well as conventional magnitude images.ResultsThe phase images showed an increased local field in the caudate, putamen, and globus pallidus of patients relative to control subjects (p < 0.01). The local field in the caudate was strongly correlated with disease duration (r2 = 0.77; p < 0.001). Phase images showed contrast in 74% of the 403 lesions, increasing the total lesion count by more than 30% and showing distinct peripheral rings and a close association with vasculature.InterpretationThe increased field in the basal ganglia and correlation with disease duration suggest pathological iron content increases in MS. The peripheral phase rings are consistent with histological data demonstrating iron‐rich macrophages at the periphery of a subset of lesions. The clearly defined vessels penetrating MS lesions should increase our ability to detect focal vascular abnormalities specifically related to demyelinating processes. Ann Neurol 2008;64:707–713
Synthesis, characterization and catalytic studies of ruthenium(II) chalconate complexes
Authors: Muthukumar M. , Viswanathamurthi P. 
Published: December 2008

AbstractStable ruthenium(II) carbonyl complexes of the type [RuCl(CO)(EPh3)(B)(L)] (E = P or As; B = PPh3, AsPh3 or Py; L = 2′‐hydroxychalcones) were synthesized from the reaction of [RuHCl(CO)(EPh3)2(B)] (E = P or As; B = PPh3, AsPh3 or Py) with 2′‐hydroxychalcones in benzene under reflux. The new complexes were characterized by analytical and spectroscopic (IR, electronic 1H, 31P and 13C NMR) data. They were assigned an octahedral structure. The complexes exhibited catalytic activity for the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols into their corresponding aldehydes and ketones in the presence of N‐methylmorpholine‐N‐oxide (NMO) as co‐oxidant and were also found to be efficient transfer hydrogenation catalysts.

Wood preservation by a mixed anhydride treatment: A 13C‐NMR investigation of simple models of polymeric wood constituents
Authors: Lyon F. , Thevenon M.‐F. , Pizzi A. , Tondi G. , Despres A. , Gril J. , Rigolet S. 
Published: December 2008

AbstractThe treatment of wood by a mixed aceto/oleic (or other fatty acid residue) anhydride promoted as a safe and environmentally friendly wood preservation system was examined quantitatively by liquid‐phase 13C‐NMR and solid‐phase magic angle spinning–DEC (proton decoupling) 13C‐NMR through of all its different stages to determine which reactions occurred with simple model compounds of the polymeric constituents of wood. The preparation of the mixed aceto/oleic anhydride under different conditions was also undertaken. The anhydride formed, but its percentage yield was only 30%. The mix composed of unreacted acetic anhydride, the mixed aceto/oleic anhydride, and a large proportion of free acetic and oleic acid, which are used for wood preservation, yielded the acetylation of the lignin model compound (1) by the reaction of the acetic anhydride with it and (2) by the reaction of the acetic part of the mixed anhydride. In this reaction, all of the mixed anhydride was consumed. The oleic part of the mixed anhydride was unable to form esters with either lignin or wood holocellulose as it was far less reactive than the acetic part. Some acetylation of holocellulose occurred, and some traces of its oleic acid ester also occurred under some conditions. This system of treatment through a mixed anhydride appeared to consist of just an acetylation with acetic anhydride mixed with some oleic acid as a water repellent, both of which are already known processes. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Development and validation of a model for prediction of mortality in patients with acute burn injury
Authors:   The Belgian Outcome in Burn Injury Study Group, Blot S 
Published: December 2008

Abstract

Background
The objective was to develop a user-friendly model to predict the probability of death from acute burns soon after injury, based on burned surface area, age and presence of inhalation injury.

Methods
This population-based cohort study included all burned patients admitted to one of the six Belgian burn centres. Data from 1999 to 2003 (5246 patients) were used to develop a mortality prediction model, and data from 2004 (981 patients) were used for validation.

Results
Mortality in the derivation cohort was 4·6 per cent. A mortality score (0–10 points) was devised: 0–4 points according to the percentage of burned surface area (less than 20, 20–39, 40–59, 60–79 or at least 80 per cent), 0–3 points according to age (under 50, 50–64, 65–79 or at least 80 years) and 3 points for the presence of an inhalation injury. Mortality in the validation cohort was 4·3 per cent. The model predicted 40 deaths, and 42 deaths were observed (P = 0·950). Receiver–operator characteristic curve analysis of the model for prediction of mortality demonstrated an area under the curve of 0·94 (95 per cent confidence interval 0·90 to 0·97).

Conclusion
An accurate model was developed to predict the probability of death from acute burn injury based on simple and objective clinical criteria.
Importance of routine cavity sampling in breast conservation surgery
Authors: Hewes J C , Imkampe A , Haji A , Bates T 
Published: December 2008

Abstract

Background
The role of cavity biopsy (CB) at the time of wide local excision (WLE) for primary breast cancer has not been evaluated fully. This study compared four groups of patients to determine the significance of margins and CB histology on tumour characteristics and outcome.

Methods
This was a retrospective study of patients undergoing WLE and CB in one institution over 21 years. Demographic data, tumour characteristics and survival information were obtained. Four subgroups of patients were compared according to their margin and cavity status (positive or negative).

Results
A total of 957 patients had WLE. The median 10-year survival was 85·6 per cent and breast cancer-specific survival was 92·4 per cent. Tumour size, grade, node and oestrogen receptor status were independent predictors of survival. There was poor concordance between positivity of resection margins and CB (32·0 per cent); a negative margin carried a 10·8 per cent risk of demonstrable residual disease. A positive CB, but not a positive margin, was associated with reduced overall survival and breast cancer-specific survival.

Conclusion
Cavity status was more significant with regard to survival than margin status. CB is important in identifying residual and multifocal disease, as margin and cavity positivity are often not concordant.
