La despenalización del aborto en casos de violación: un debate estatal.
Authors: Arroyo Roxana 
Published: January 2025

El presente artículo estudia el debate, y sus implicaciones para el Estado Ecuatoriano, de la aplicación y cumplimiento de los estándares internacionales de derechos humanos que se derivan de la Sentencia de la Corte constitucional no. 34-19-in/21, en lo que refiere a la modificación del artículo 150 numeral 2 del Código Integral Penal. En este complejo escenario se profundizan los principales nudos críticos, sujetos sociales, Estado y sus posiciones, analizados desde una perspectiva crítica de los derechos humanos, género, interseccional. La investigación se lleva a cabo a partir de fuentes primarias, debates en la Asamblea Nacional durante las consultas, estudio de los estándares internacionales, aportes del movimiento y de la epistemología feminista . Por último, se concluye cómo el debate refleja la existencia de dos culturas jurídicas: aquella que incluye los derechos humanos de las mujeres , la igualdad sustantiva , el derecho a vivir una vida libre de violencia y los derechos sexuales y reproductivos; y otro que afirma el derecho androcéntrico que, bajo la idea de la protección del nasciturus, niega el derecho a las mujeres y el acceso a una justicia de género convirtiéndola en un laberinto sin salida para la construcción de un Estado democrático garantista de derechos .

Published: January 2025

Tests of nuclear weapons, routine and accidental releases of radionuclides from nuclear fuel cycle facilities, on one hand, and the long half-life decay time of 137Cs have led to significant levels of accumulation of this radioactive isotope in environmental objects in vast territories, which can have a negative impact on biota and public health. The search for effective methods to limit the transfer of radionuclides into food chains and remediate contaminated areas remains a pressing issue. One of the factors influencing the transfer of 137Cs from soil to plants is soil microbiom. The main hypothesis of this study is that developing arbuscular mycorrhizaon plant root systems leads to increasing the availability of cesium isotopes for root absorption and enhances their accumulation in underground and aboveground parts of plants. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the significance of arbuscular mycorrhiza in the root uptake of 137Cs from soil into a model plant.The vegetative experiment was conducted with barley variety Burshtyn chosen as a model plant. Mycorrhization of the root system was performed using the MycoApply SuperConcentrate inoculant. The results of the experiment allowed for the first time to demonstrate the relationship between accumulation and distribution parameters of 137Cs in barley plants with the level of arbuscular mycorrhiza development in the plant root system. Developing mycorrhizal infection in the barley root system increased the transfer factor of 137Cs from soil to the aboveground organs of barley 1.8–2.6 times compared to the control.At the same time, there is a tendency towards a decrease in the activity concentration of the radionuclide in the root system.

Published: January 2025

Background: Global reports suggest heightened Mycoplasma pneumoniae (Mp) activity during the fall of 2023. However, it is unclear how testing strategy changes and preventative measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic influenced these conclusions. The objective of this study was to summarize the effects of implementing a new respiratory testing method (Luminex NxTAG Respiratory Pathogen Panel [RPP]) on the rate of detection of three types of atypical bacteria (AB) (Mp, Legionella pneumophila [Lp], and Chlamydophila pneumoniae [Cp]) in British Columbia (BC), as well as to summarize case detections throughout the province during and after the COVID-19 pandemic to determine if there were emerging concerns regarding Mp infections in BC as seen in other jurisdictions. Methods: We analyzed 2013–2023 laboratory testing data from the provincial lab in BC, divided into periods before syndromic testing, after syndromic testing was implemented (via xTAG RPP), during the COVID-19 pandemic, and after the pandemic. Results: Following introduction of the Luminex NxTAG RPP, detection of Mp and Cp cases increased 11-fold and 4-fold, respectively, while Lp detection was not significantly affected. Relatively few cases of Mp were recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic, although following relaxation of COVID-19 pandemic mitigation measures, Mp resurgent activity was observed that remained within expected levels. Conclusions: Detection of AB in BC increased following implementation of the Luminex NxTAG RPP, decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic, and returned to seasonal circulation after the pandemic.
The introduction of innovative technologies in the logistics of synthetic rubber production
Authors: Shaibakova Liudmila Faritovna 
Published: January 2025

The chapter describes the characteristics of rubber production in world and Russian practice. There is a growing demand for rubber worldwide due to the development of the production of rubber products, in particular, tires for the automotive industry, sports shoes, the needs of healthcare and the production of medical equipment, and the development of the construction industry. Synthetic rubber has become a serious alternative to natural rubber as a material with greater durability and higher productivity in its production. An assessment of the Russian market for the production of synthetic rubber in primary forms is given. It is noted that this market is highly concentrated with obvious signs of monopolization. The sales leader in this market is PJSC Nizhnekamskneftekhim, whose share in 2023 amounted to more than 75%. An assessment of the trends in the development of the production activities of this organization for the period 2010–2023 was carried out, conclusions were drawn about the general trend of sales growth with deviations during the pandemic and in modern conditions of sanctions pressure on the economy of the Russian Federation. There is a decrease in the financial stability of the organization, which, however, has maintained its profitability and return on sales above the industry average. The business process of material and technical support of PJSC Nizhnekamskneftekhim is considered. It is noted that the procurement service employees spend most of their working time applying for low-value goods. It is proposed to solve this problem by developing a logistics module within the framework of the implemented Unified Corporate Template, which allows approving procurement documents in electronic form, as well as by introducing the MarketPlace online store as an innovative technology for purchasing low-value goods. The research used general scientific (analysis, synthesis, analogy, generalization), as well as private (observation, comparison, measurement and description) methods. The methodology of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia for assessing economic concentration in commodity markets is used. The object of the study was the type of economic activity – the production of synthetic rubber in primary forms (OKVED code: 20.17).
The Discoveries of Clinical Trials for Patients Undergoing Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) for Distal Tibia Fractures
Authors: Ponnada Rajesh 
Published: January 2025

Background: Distal tibia fractures, commonly resulting from high-energy trauma, present significant challenges in orthopedic surgery due to their location near the ankle joint and the risk of complications such as nonunion and infection. Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) has emerged as a favored technique for managing these fractures, offering the benefits of reduced soft tissue damage and improved fracture healing.
Aim: This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing MIPO for distal tibia fractures and identify factors influencing the success of this surgical technique.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted involving 100 patients with distal tibia fractures treated using MIPO. Data were collected on patient demographics, fracture characteristics, surgical details, postoperative complications, and functional recovery. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 23.0, with significance set at p < 0.05.
Results: The mean time to radiographic union was 16.8 weeks, with 90% of fractures healing within 20 weeks. Nonunion occurred in 4% of cases, and delayed union in 6%. Postoperative complications included superficial infections (8%), deep infections (2%), and hardware failure (3%). By the 6-month follow-up, 88% of patients achieved full weight-bearing status. Age and high-energy trauma were significant predictors of delayed union (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: MIPO is an effective technique for the management of distal tibia fractures, offering favorable healing and functional outcomes with minimal complications. However, older patients and those with high-energy trauma may require additional care to mitigate risks of delayed union.
Recommendations: Future research should focus on optimizing patient selection and refining surgical techniques to further reduce complications. Long-term studies are also recommended to assess the durability of MIPO in managing distal tibia fractures.

Published: January 2025

Poor sensitivity of pathogenic bacteria to bacteria is a serious health issue worldwide specially in the developing and underdeveloped countries making greater concern to the scientists. This study followed the CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute) guidelines 30, Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method to test sensitivity. We analyzed the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi isolated from clinical samples, collected from two hospitals of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The sensitivity of twelve different single antibiotics (cefepime, cefotaxime, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, nitrofurantoin, meropenem, imipenem, amikacin, gentamicin, azithromycin, tetracycline, fosfomycin), and two combinations (piperacillin-tazobactam and amoxicillin-clavulanate) were evaluated against E. coli and S. typhi isolates. E. coli isolates showed significantly less susceptibility than S. typhi isolates to the antibiotics tested. Three antibiotics showed significant effectiveness against E. coli isolates, (chloramphenicol, nitrofurantoin, and fosfomycin). Ciprofloxacin was the least effective antibiotic to S. typhi isolates (only 20% isolates showed sensitivity). 85% E. coli isolates were MDR (Multi Drug Resistant), whereas only 5% S. typhi isolates were MDR. The highest MAR (Multiple Antibiotic Resistance) index value among E. coli isolates was 0.86, whereas highest value among S. typhi isolates was 0.21. The lowest MAR value among E. coli isolates was 0.21, whereas two S. typhi isolates had MAR value of zero (0). Almost all the single and combination antibiotics demonstrated poor sensitivity to the E. coli and S. typhi isolates. Thus, it makes infections much harder to treat and makes other medical procedures and treatment, such as surgery, caesarean sections and cancer therapy, much riskier.

Published: January 2025

IntroductionAgroecology is increasingly promoted as a pathway to sustainable food production, aiming to maximize natural resource use while minimizing external inputs with harmful environmental effects. Agroecological practices can enhance farm productivity while ensuring environmental sustainability. However, these practices often require higher initial investments compared to business-as-usual (BAU) practices, and their profitability and relative risks are not well studied. This research evaluates the profitability and risk of adopting agroecological practices among wheat farmers in Ethiopia.MethodsWe conducted a deterministic cost-benefit analysis (CBA) incorporating sensitivity and scenario analysis to evaluate the profitability and relative risks associated with three agroecological practices: certified wheat seed, optimal site-specific inorganic fertilizer application rates, and drainage of waterlogged soils. The analysis considered yield uncertainty, market price fluctuations, and implementation variability to provide robust insights for decision-making.ResultsThe deterministic CBA revealed that among the three practices, the use of certified seeds was the most profitable, with a net present value (NPV) of US$ 2,531 ha–1. This was followed by optimal site-specific inorganic fertilizer application, with an NPV of US$ 2,371 ha–1. Drainage of waterlogged soils yielded the lowest profitability, with an NPV of US$ 2,099 ha–1.DiscussionThe results indicate that certified seeds and optimal fertilizer rates offer higher financial returns, making them attractive investments for wheat farmers. However, profitability alone does not guarantee adoption. Other factors, including social and behavioral aspects, influence farmer decisions. Future research should integrate these dimensions to develop comprehensive strategies for promoting agroecological practices.ConclusionAdopting agroecological practices has clear economic benefits for Ethiopian wheat farmers, with certified seeds emerging as the most profitable option. These findings provide evidence for stakeholders to design targeted interventions that maximize returns while addressing barriers to adoption.

IntroductionSirtuin 1, a class III histone deacetylase, plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of both diabetes mellitus and bone metabolism by promoting osteoblast differentiation and inhibiting osteoclast maturation. However, its exact impact on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains unclear. This study investigates the relationship between Sirtuin 1 levels, BMD, and bone metabolism in newly diagnosed T2DM patients, specifically examining alterations in Sirtuin 1 levels in those with concomitant osteoporosis or osteopenia.MethodsA total of 69 newly diagnosed T2DM patients and 82 control subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) were enrolled. Serum Sirtuin 1 levels and bone turnover markers, including osteocalcin (OC), procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), and β-C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (β-CTX), were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). BMD was assessed via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Comparisons of these parameters were made between the T2DM and NGT groups.ResultsT2DM patients were further categorized into a normal BMD group (DMn) and an osteopenia or osteoporosis group (DMo), and differences in Sirtuin 1 levels between these subgroups were analyzed. Risk factors for osteoporosis/osteopenia in T2DM patients were also evaluated. Serum Sirtuin 1 levels were found to be significantly diminished in the T2DM group relative to the control group (P &lt; 0.05), with no significant differences in lumbar spine BMD, OC, 25(OH)D, and β-CTX between groups (P &gt; 0.05). Osteoporosis incidence was higher in T2DM subjects compared to controls (34.8% vs. 18.3%, P = 0.026). Subgroup analysis revealed that SIRT1 levels in T2DM patients with osteoporosis or osteopenia exhibited a significant reduction compared to those with normal BMD (P &lt; 0.05). Logistic regression indicated that Sirtuin 1, age, HDL-C, P1NP, and β-CTX were independent risk factors for osteoporosis in T2DM patients.DiscussionIn conclusion, decreased serum Sirtuin 1 levels are associated with bone turnover markers in T2DM patients and may serve as an independent risk factor and potential biomarker for diagnosing bone metabolism disorders in newly diagnosed T2DM patients.
Environmental penalties and corporate carbon disclosure in China: divergent effects of resource availability and the role of social media pressure
Authors: Shao Jing , Li Wenjie , Huang Lingtong , Tian Yuanhao 
Published: January 2025

IntroductionEnvironmental concerns and the escalating impacts of climate change have prompted governments to set ambitious carbon emission reduction targets. Corporations, as major contributors to carbon emissions, play a critical role in achieving these goals through transparent carbon disclosure. This study investigates the impact of environmental penalties on corporate carbon disclosure practices among Chinese-listed firms from 2009 to 2019, drawing on organizational legitimacy theory.MethodUsing data from publicly available corporate reports, we employed multivariate regression analysis to examine how environmental penalties influence carbon disclosure. Additionally, we explored the moderating roles of firms’ financial resource conditions and social media scrutiny.ResultThe results revealed that environmental penalties significantly enhance carbon disclosure, particularly in resource-redundant firms, while their effect diminishes in resource-constrained enterprises. Social media scrutiny amplifies the positive impact of penalties by increasing public pressure, highlighting the role of external stakeholders in fostering transparency.DiscussionThese findings underscore the importance of integrating tailored regulatory frameworks with active public and social media engagement to enhance corporate accountability and transparency. This study contributes to the literature on corporate social responsibility, offering actionable insights for policymakers, regulators, and corporate managers aiming to advance sustainability goals.
