El crimen organizado y el terrorismo
Authors: Vaca David , Vargas Astudilo Paola Eugenia 
Published: February 2024

El Ecuador, dentro del marco latinoamericano, ha desarrollado su sistema de Defensa con las particularidades propias de su geografía y con las ramificaciones conceptuales y prácticas que exige su geopolítica y realidad nacional; es así que basándonos en el desarrollo histórico de las oleadas del terrorismo a la época actual, vivimos en una etapa sui generis o estratégicamente hablando hibrida, donde el narcotráfico y el crimen organizado ha difuminado cualquier posibilidad de una ideología insurreccional y ha marcado el inicio de una amenaza ya identificada pero aún no definida operacionalmente; en este contexto surge la necesidad de brindar y garantizar la seguridad integral del estado la cual se lograría si y solo si con la preparación y la adquisición de conocimiento necesario para enfrentar dichas amenazas, para reconocerlas, enfrentarlas y finalmente neutralizarlas, devolviendo así el control a las autoridades y recuperando la legitimidad de la población hacia sus Fuerzas Armadas.

Abstract. The technological process of manufacturing mechanical engineering products using metal-cutting machines is a structurally complex process. This process can be described by the combination of two types of actions: the working stroke, which results in a change in the structure and properties of the workpiece, and an auxiliary transition, the task of which is to prepare the technological system for the execution of the working process. The execution
of auxiliary transitions does not entail a change in the structure and properties of the product, but leads to an increase in the complexity of its manufacture, therefore, increasing the efficiency of technological processes of mechanical processing largely depends on optimizing the complexity of performing a complex of auxiliary transitions. The purpose of the work is to develop a model for optimizing the parameters of a complex of auxiliary transitions for machining operations. The structure of the control object “Technological system” is described, within which two subcategories of control objects are defined: the control object “Technological equipment” and the control object “Wearable equipment”. Hypergraphs of changes in their intermediate states are presented for these subcategories of control objects. According to the presented models, the subcategory of the control object “Technological equipment” has 4 levels of control, the subcategory of the control object “Wearable tooling” has 3 levels of control. Lists of single and vector optimization criteria have been formed for the intermediate states of control objects. A description of a set of actions for the transition of control objects from the (i – 1) state to thei-estate is presented. A list of control parameters has been defined for each subcategory of the control object. The use of the presented model contributes to increasing the efficiency of the technological process by optimizing the values of the parameters of the complex of auxiliary actions at the stage of technological preparation of production.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of reproductive and infectious diseases in tropical cattle in the Tambopata and Tahuamanu Provinces in the department of Madre de Dios, Peru.

SAMPLE
156 bovines from 7 cattle farms were sampled. These farms used exclusive grazing for food and natural mating for reproduction and did not have sanitary or vaccination programs.

METHODS
The serum of blood samples was subjected to ELISA with commercial kits for the detection of antibodies against Neospora caninum, Mycobacterium avium subsp paratuberculosis (MAP), Leptospira interrogans, pestivirus bovine viral diarrhea virus-1, retrovirus bovine leukemia virus (BLV), orbivirus bluetongue virus (BTV), and herpesvirus bovine herpes virus-1 (BHV). The data were analyzed by means of association tests with χ2 (P < .05) and Spearman rank correlation (P < .05) in the SPSS v.15.0 software (IBM Corp).

RESULTS
A low prevalence of antibodies to L interrogans, N caninum, M avium subsp paratuberculosis, bovine viral diarrhea virus-1 was found, but it was high to BTV, BLV, and BHV (100%, 53.85%, and 72.44%, respectively). The presence of BLV and BHV was higher in the Las Piedras District, bovines less than 5 years old, and cattle with breed characteristics of zebu and crossbred (P < .01). In addition, there was a significant correlation between both infections, showing 83.3% of BLV positivity that were also BHV positive (P < .01).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
The high prevalence of antibodies to BTV, BHV, and BLV could be due to livestock management practices, direct contact with infected animals, and variation of the presence of vectors and natural reservoirs in the context of climate change in the tropics.
The Edwards Acumen IQ system using peripheral arterial catheter-based waveforms to estimate cardiac output is not accurate as compared to thermodilution in dogs
Authors: Zersen Kristin M. , Griffenhagen Gregg M. , Monnet Eric L. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To assess the agreement between cardiac output (CO) estimated via evaluation of the arterial pressure waveform by a novel monitoring system (Edwards Acumen IQ sensor and HemoSphere Advanced Monitor Platform [HS-IQ]; Edwards LifeSciences) and measured by thermodilution (TD) in anesthetized, normovolemic, and hypovolemic dogs. To assess the agreement between the HS-IQ CO measurements in the radial artery and dorsal metatarsal artery.

ANIMALS
8 purpose-bred Beagles.

METHODS
Dogs were placed under general anesthesia. CO was measured via TD and via the HS-IQ at radial and dorsal metatarsal arterial catheters. CO measurements were obtained at 4 time points including normovolemic and multiple hypovolemic states. Paired measurements of CO were evaluated via the method of Bland and Altman with acceptable limits of agreement (LOA) defined as < 30%.

RESULTS
A total of 24 (dorsal metatarsal) and 21 (radial) paired measurements were collected in 8 dogs. The overall bias (CI) for comparison of TD to radial arterial HS-IQ CO measurements was −0.09 L/min. LOA and proportional LOA were −2.66 to 2.49 L/min and −140.72% to 104.94%. The overall bias (CI) for comparison of TD to dorsal metatarsal arterial HS-IQ CO measurements was −0.26 L/min. LOA and proportional LOA were −2.76 to 2.24 L/min and −135.96% to 93.25%. The overall proportional error for radial arterial was −17.9% and for dorsal metatarsal was −21.4%.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
CO measurements with the HS-IQ were easy to obtain but did not produce results within a clinically acceptable range for either measurement site, with a very wide LOA. The CO estimations from the HS-IQ are not appropriate for clinical use at this time.
Discourse on Unequal Power Relations in Knowledge Sharing Transactions at Selected Township Schools in Nkangala Education District
Authors: Nkambule Bongani Innocent 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Sustainable Development Goal No 4 (SDG4) resonates with all education systems of the world. It has resulted in education policies being created and promulgated with sustainability and development in mind. In the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), sustainability speaks to the need for schooling systems to operate as a knowledge society and to maximally exploit the abundance of knowledge assets that exist in their ecologies. This implies that they must adopt knowledge management (KM) to take advantage of the 4IR era aligned technological innovations, instructional practices and administrative standards. In light of the view that, of all KM processes, knowledge sharing reigns supreme and gives rise to the generation of new organisational knowledge as well as the innovation of existing organisational knowledge; the study adopted a qualitative approach embedded in an interpretivist paradigm to explore the perceptions of teaching and support staff- specifically six teachers and four administrative clerks (altogether ten participants) - of factors contributing to unequal power relations in knowledge sharing practices at two selected schools in Nkangala Education District, Mpumalanga Province (South Africa). The study found that poor leadership practices contributed to unhealthy professional interactions, knowledge hoarding, contravention of contextual ethics (of Ubuntu), trust deficit, top-down communication and workplace bullying.
Atypical Pre-excitation Pattern in Asymptomatic Wolff-Parkinson-White—A Hallmark for High Risk?
Authors: Burcin Alexandru-Paul , Ene Elena , Vătăşescu Radu-Gabriel 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Introduction
Delta wave morphology during sinus rhythm on 12 lead ECG usually allows for a relatively precise prediction of the anatomic location of an accessory pathway (AP) provided that the rhythm is fully pre-excited. However, the pre-excitation pattern during sinus rhythm usually offers little information about sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk in adult patients with asymptomatic Wolf-Parkinson-White (WPW).

Case Presentation
A 42-year-old policeman was referred for an asymptomatic WPW pattern with an unusual delta wave. Initial mapping showed that atrio-ventricular (A-V) fusion on the lateral mitral annulus and radiofrequency (RF) ablation induced a shift in the pre-excitation pattern. Re-mapping identified A-V fusion on the left postero-septal area. Another RF application eliminated pre-excitation. Re-mapping identified A-V fusion on the postero-septal aspect of the mitral annulus and another RF application almost instantaneously induced an A-V split and loss of pre-excitation. Post-ablation testing proved normal anterograde A-V conduction without pre-excitation and no ventriculo-atrial conduction. Serial ECGs proved the persistent loss of pre-excitation at one-month of follow-up.

Conclusion
This case highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with atypical pre-excitation patterns and the importance of a thorough evaluation in asymptomatic individuals. Patients with atypical pre-excitation may harbor multiple accessory pathways (MAPs) and should be carefully assessed to mitigate the risk of SCD.

A Pragmatic Study of Mitigation Strategies in Bidenʼs Political Interviews
Authors: Khalil Hanan Saeed , Ali Abid Hmood 
Published: February 2024

Political interviews play a crucial role in shaping public opinion and influencing electoral outcomes. This study investigates the use of various mitigation strategies employed by politicians during interviews to minimize the impact of potentially damaging questions or statements. The current study is concerned with the news of the Ukrainian-Russian war which began on February 24, 2022, and is still ongoing, from a pragmatic point of view. The problem is manifested in the great shortage of pragmatic studies of mitigation strategy in political discourse.
The present study adopts Caffi's (2007) model to analyze the selected data. The aspects of this model include five main types, which are: bushes, hedges, deictic shields, quotational shields, and topical shields. Each strategy differs from the other in composition. The deictic shields contain six sub-strategies and the topical shields contain two sub-strategies.
The study investigates mitigation strategies in one of Joe Bidenʼs , the current US president interviews . It aims to highlight the mitigation strategies used in Biden 's political interview. To investigate the most frequent type of mitigation strategies are used in the data under study.
To achieve the aims of the study and verify its hypotheses, the study hypothesizes that some mitigation strategies are used in Biden 's interview. The most commonly used strategy is the deictic shields strategy.
Qualitative and quantitative methods are used in analyzing data.The most important conclusions of the study are: 1)It is found that the mitigation strategies employed in Bidenʼs interview are : bushes ,hedges , deictic shields ,and topical shields and 2) the most commonly used strategy in Bidenʼs interview is deictic shields.
Trigeminal neuralgia secondary to epidermoid cyst and neurovascular conflict: An illustrative case with literature review
Authors: Revuelta-Gutiérrez Rogelio , Contreras-Vázquez Oscar Rubén , Piñón-Jiménez Fernando , Martínez-Anda Jaime Jesús 
Published: February 2024

Background:
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a highly disabling facial pain syndrome, historically known as the suicide disease, in which most cases can be cured with appropriate surgical treatment.

Case Description:
We present the case of a 43-year-old male farmer with acute, self-limiting episodes of shock-like pain on the left side of the face that started in June of 2021. He was diagnosed with TN and was treated with carbamazepine. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed, which revealed an epidermoid cyst (EC) at the prepontine cistern with an extension to the left cerebellopontine angle. The neurosurgery department at our institution was consulted, which performed surgical tumor resection and Vth cranial nerve decompression. During the resection, a neurovascular conflict (NVC) was identified at the root entry zone. After the resection around the nerve and its whole tract was completed, a microvascular decompression (MVD) was performed.

Conclusion:
TN secondary to EC in association with a NVC is a rare phenomenon, due to the growth pattern of the EC. TN may remit if an appropriate treatment is carried out. In cases of NVC, an MVD is required apart from an appropriate resection to achieve pain relief.
Rethinking Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) surveillance definitions based on changing healthcare utilisation and a more realistic incubation period: reviewing data from a tertiary-referral hospital, Ireland, 2012 to 2021
Authors: Skally Mairead , Bennett Kathleen , Humphreys Hilary , Fitzpatrick Fidelma 
Published: February 2024

Background
Community-associated Clostridioides difficile infections (CA-CDI) have increased worldwide. Patients with CDI-related symptoms occurring < 48 hours after hospitalisation and no inpatient stay 12 weeks prior are classified as CA-CDI, regardless of hospital day attendances 3 months before CDI onset. Healthcare-associated (HA) CDIs include those with symptom onset ≥ 48 hours post hospitalisation.

Aim
To consider an incubation period more reflective of CDI, and changing healthcare utilisation, we measured how varying surveillance specifications to categorise patients according to their CDI origin resulted in changes in patients’ distribution among CDI origin categories.

Methods
New CDI cases between 2012–2021 from our hospital were reviewed. For patients with CA-CDI, hospital day attendances in the 3 months prior were recorded. CA-CDI patients with hospital day attendances and recently discharged CDI patients (RD-CDI; CDI onset 4–12 weeks after discharge) were combined into a new ‘healthcare-exposure’ category (HE-CDI). Time from hospitalisation to disease onset was varied and the midpoint between optimal and balanced cut-offs was used instead of 48 hours to categorise HA-CDI.

Results
Of 1,047 patients, 801 (76%) were HA-CDI, 205 (20%) CA-CDI and 41 (4%) were RD-CDI. Of the CA-CDI cohort, 45 (22%) met recent HE-CDI criteria and, when reassigned, reduced CA-CDI to 15%. Sensitivity analysis indicated a day 4 cut-off for assigning HA-CDI. Applying this led to 46 HA-CDI reassigned as CA-CDI. Applying both HE and day 4 criteria led to 72% HA-CDI, 20% CA-CDI, and 8% HE-CDI (previously RD-CDI).

Conclusion
CDI surveillance specifications reflecting healthcare exposure and an incubation period more characteristic of C. difficile may improve targeted CDI prevention interventions.
