Resumen

Objetivos
En la infancia y adolescencia se produce un aumento de masa ósea, hasta alcanzar un pico máximo, determinante para la salud ósea. Los marcadores óseos evalúan los procesos de formación-resorción ósea. Sin embargo, los estudios sobre la influencia de la obesidad en los marcadores de recambio óseo en esta edad, son escasos y los resultados contradictorios. El objetivo de nuestro estudio fue evaluar si el sobrepeso/obesidad influían en el metabolismo óseo.

Métodos
Se compararon parámetros relacionados con el metabolismo óseo, en 45 niños y niñas normopeso (controles) y en un grupo de 61 niños y niñas con sobrepeso/obesidad (casos), procedentes del estudio Exergames (Universidad de Zaragoza), de edades comprendidas, todos ellos, entre 8 y 12 años.

Resultados
La concentración de fósforo y la de IGFBP-3 fueron superiores en los niños con sobrepeso/obesidad, respecto a la de los niños normopeso, (p=0,042) y (p=0,042), respectivamente. Las concentraciones de BAP, osteocalcina, magnesio, vitamina D e IGF-I fueron más bajas en el grupo de los niños con sobrepeso/obesidad y la de calcio más elevada, pero las diferencias no fueron estadísticamente significativas. Existe correlación negativa (r=−0,193) (p=0,049) entre BAP e IMC.

Conclusiones
En los niños con sobrepeso/obesidad pese a que no se llegó a alcanzar significación estadística, la concentración de BAP y osteocalcina fue inferior a la de los niños normopeso, lo cual junto con la correlación negativa de BAP respecto al IMC encontrada, puede indicar que ya en edades tan tempranas el sobrepeso/obesidad puede afectar a la salud ósea.
Arab Migration During Early Islam: The Seventh to Eighth Century AD from an Archaeological Perspective
Authors: Nol Hagit 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The topic of Arab migration during the medieval period has occupied many modern historians. The evidence for migration in chronicles and geographies, however, is quite thin. This article looks at these texts as well as at contemporary “archaeological texts” (inscriptions and papyri documents) and archaeology. Each of these sources provides different information under different limitations which sometimes correlates with another. One main focus of the article is the ability of archaeology to answer – alone – the question about Arab migration. For that purpose, two archaeological models are proposed. One model highlights the link between the material culture of two regions (origin and destination) in two sequent times and its evolvement in the destination. The other model points to continuous links between origin and destination and the evolvement of material culture in the origin. The models are compared to a number of case studies from the early Islamic period (seventh to tenth century AD) in the Levant, Spain, and additional regions. The case studies present innovations which might reflect migrants: irrigation methods, specific forms of architecture, production techniques of portable artifacts, and evidence for a new confession – Islam. While the archaeological records of early Islam are often too limited to answer most of the models’ criteria, two case studies seem promising: soapstone pots/bowls and early Muslim burials. Both cases imply the migration of people from the Arabian Peninsula elsewhere in the eighth or even the seventh century.

Published: December 2023

Aim of the study was to determine the advantages of peripheral nerve blocks (PNB) versus local infiltration anesthesia (LIA) in the formation of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) surgically created for hemodialysis treatmentType of study: prospective non-randomized study. Approved by the ethics committee of JLF UK in Martin.Type of workplace: clinical workplace of a university hospital.Material and method. The cohort of patients (N=40) who required arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation was divided into 2 groups, 20 patients each: patients operated under peripheral nerve blockade and patients operated under local infiltration anesthesia. The preserved function of the fistula was monitored 24 hours, 6 weeks and one year after the operation, without revision. Patient inclusion criteria included: age 19–75 years, ASA 3–4, weight 40–120 kg, BMI up to 40. Statistical treatment of data included Mann-Whitney exact test, Fisher's test, t-test, Shapiro–Wilk normality test.Results. After 24 hours, all fistulas created with peripheral nerve blockade were functional whereas only 90% developed under local infiltration anesthesia remained functional (P>0.05 between groups). However, after 6 weeks, 80% of fistulas created under peripheral nerve block were functional, compared to 50% of functional fistulas created in patients under local infiltration anesthesia (P=0.048). One year after surgery, the difference remained as a trend since 55% of fistulas created under peripheral nerve block remained functional while only 35% of fistulas created in patients receiving local infiltration anesthesia were functional without complications (P=0.097).Conclusion. In our study, the peripheral nerve block anestesia seem superior in term of improved survival of created fistula compared to local infiltration anesthesia.
Financial deepening on income inequality: A quantitative meta-analysis study
Authors: Nokulunga Mbona 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThere exists a vast empirical literature on Financial Sector Development (FSD) and the income inequality nexus; however, it lacks consensus. To study this, 24 studies with 87 regression estimates on financial institution depth and income inequality were collected. This paper used the most common method of economic meta-analysis, the Partial Correlation Coefficient (PCC), to answer the question: What is the magnitude and impact, if any, of financial institution depth on income inequality? In addition, a multivariate meta-regression model was used to find moderator variables that produced mixed results in the literature. The results show that the global average comovement of financial institution depth (domestic credit) on income inequality is very small but positive; suggesting that growth in domestic credit may widen income inequality. The positive correlation between domestic credit and income inequality highlights how financial institutions use household income and collateral as a signal when deciding on credit applications. Finally, the multivariate regression results suggest that the present heterogeneity within the literature stems from different methodologies and control variables included in the econometric models, and panel studies that mix countries with heterogeneous characteristics. These suggest that different components of FSD may impact income inequality differently.

Published: December 2023

AbstractLaser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) and direct laser deposition (DLD) are the two main processes currently used in the additive manufacturing (AM) of metals. For both methods, metal powders are used as feedstock, and they must present specific physical and chemical properties to ensure optimal processing and reliable and reproducible printing results. Particle morphology, size distribution, and flowability, among other factors, depend on the powder production process and directly influence the processing parameters and physical characteristics of the parts built by AM. This systematic review presents different concepts involving L-PBF and DLD manufacturing and the application of metal powders. The methods used to produce and characterize metal powders and the modification techniques to improve their processability by AM are detailed and discussed. Environmental and health risks are also presented, and safety measures that must be considered while handling metal powders. Some key topics requiring attention for further development are highlighted.

Biofertilizers are recommended to improve crops yield but researches regarding biofertilizer inoculation on foxtail millet in Indonesia is still Tlimited. The objective of the experiment was to analyze the growth and yield responses of five local-millet accessions to Bacillus biofertilizer with reduced NPK fertilizer dose; and the germination rate of millet seeds. The pot experiment was arranged in randomized block design with 10 treatments and 10 replications. The treatments were combination of five millet accessions with one dose of NPK fertilizer, and half dose of NPK fertilizer with biofertilizer. Generally, half dose of NPK with Bacillus inoculation did not change the height of six-weeks old plant, and panicle weight and length of millet compared to one dose of NPK. However, this combined fertilizer increased plant height and panicle length of Mani-Mani 79. Reduced dose NPK with Bacillus inoculation increased panicles number of J3 but reduced that of Polman 3; moreover, this combined fertilizer increased the grain weight of J3 and J4, but decreased the yield of Polman 3. The Enrekang and Polman 3 accession had better germination rate; 92% and 89.33%, respectively. This research considered that Bacillus biofertilizer reduced NPK fertilizer dose by 50% and is suggested for growing millet.ABSTRAKPupuk hayati banyak disarankan untuk meningkatkan produksi tanaman tetapi riset mengenai inokulasi pupuk hayati pada jewawut aksesi lokal Indonesia belum banyak dilakukan. Percobaan ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis respons pertumbuhan dan hasil lima aksesi jewawut lokal terhadap inokulasi pupuk hayati Bacillus dan pengurangan dosis pupuk NPK; serta daya berkecambah biji jewawut setelah panen. Percobaan pot disusun dalam rancangan acak kelompok dengan 10 perlakuan dan 10 ulangan. Perlakuan percobaan adalah kombinasi lima aksesi jewawut dengan satu dosis pupuk NPK, dan setengah dosis pupuk NPK disertai pupuk hayati. Umumnya, tinggi tanaman umur enam minggu, serta bobot dan panjang malai jewawut dengan setengah dosis NPK disertai inokulasi Bacillus sama dengan tanaman yang diberi satu dosis NPK. Namun, tinggi tanaman dan panjang malai Mani-Mani 79 meningkat setelah aplikasi setengah dosis NPK dengan inokulasi Bacillus. Jumlah malai aksesi J3 meningkat sedangkan Polman 3 menurun dengan aplikasi setengah dosis NPK disertai inokulasi Bacillus. Kombinasi pupuk ini meningkatkan bobot biji J3 dan J4 tetapi menurunkan hasil Polman 3. Aksesi Enrekang dan Polman 3 memiliki daya berkecambah yang lebih baik; masing-masing sebesar 92% dan 89,33%. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pupuk hayati Bacillus dapat mengurangi dosis pupuk NPK sampai 50% dan dapat disarakan untuk tanaman jewawut.

The objects of the study are goat and camel sausage with the addition of the natural antioxidant purslane powder. Goat and camel meat are rich in protein, contains little fat and has good digestibility, which makes it an attractive product for baby food. The results showed that experimental samples of goat sausage and chicken fillet and goat sausage and camel sausage showed a moisture content of 72.7 % and 70.6 %, fat 8.1 % and 6.7 %, protein 13.41 % and 15.31 %, carbohydrates 3.0 % and 4.4 %, respectively. The moisture binding capacity of goat and chicken fillet sausage with purslane is 78.16 %, which is 1.73 % higher than the benchmark, which is 76.43 %. The moisture binding capacity of goat and camel sausage with purslane was 78.65 %, which is 2.22 % higher than in the control. High moisture-binding ability helps to preserve the freshness and taste of sausage for a long time. In the course of the work, a comparative analysis of the digestibility of proteins of experimental samples of boiled sausage products was carried out. It was found that goat sausage and chicken fillet are characterized by a lower concentration of tyrosine due to the action of proteolytic enzymes (pepsin and trypsin) – from 624.6 mcg/ml (during the first three hours of hydrolysis) to 371.3 mcg/ml (during 6 hours of hydrolysis), against sausage made from goat meat and camel meat 674.2 when digested with pepsin and 377.3 when digested with trypsin, which indicates a higher degree of digestibility of proteins of these products. Thus, the research of goat and camel sausages for school-age children can contribute to the creation of innovative products that will meet the needs of children's health and development, as well as contribute to the sustainable development of rural regions and the growth of economic activity

The objects of the study are decision support systems. The subject of the study is the decision-making process in management problems using the Emperor Penguin Algorithm (EPA), an advanced genetic algorithm and evolving artificial neural networks.
A solution search method using the improved EPA is proposed. The study is based on the EPA algorithm for finding a solution regarding the object state. Evolving artificial neural networks are used to train EPA, and an advanced genetic algorithm is used to select the best EPA. The method has the following sequence of actions:
– input of initial data;
– setting agents on the search plane;
– numbering EPA in the flock;
– setting the initial velocity of the EPA and thermal radiation of each EPA;
– calculation of the position of each EPA on the total search area and its cost;
– approach (attraction) of the EPA to another EPA;
– changing in the trajectory of EPA movement;
– selection of the best individuals from the EPA flock;
– ranking the obtained solutions and sorting them;
– training EPA knowledge bases;
– determining the amount of necessary computing resources for an intelligent decision support system.
The originality of the proposed method lies in setting EPA taking into account the uncertainty of the initial data, improved global and local search procedures taking into account the noise degree of data on the state of the analysis object. The method makes it possible to increase the efficiency of data processing at the level of 13–17 % due to the use of additional improved procedures. The proposed method should be used to solve the problems of evaluating complex and dynamic processes in the interests of solving national security problems
