Usar la música improvisada para cambiar las creencias que dificultan la mitigación de la crisis climática
Authors: Beltrán Pablo 
Published: January 2025

En los últimos años, se ha desarrollado una herramienta educativa que busca acelerar los cambios necesarios para mitigar los efectos negativos de algunas prácticas agropecuarias perjudiciales, entendidas como aquellas que generan un impacto negativo sobre el medio ambiente, la salud humana y la calidad del suelo. A través de la enseñanza de la improvisación musical, se pretende impartir competencias que fomenten una reflexión profunda en las comunidades campesinas sobre los procesos de producción agrícola. Esto permitiría replantear creencias y paradigmas que han promovido prácticas inapropiadas, como el uso indiscriminado de agroquímicos o la demonización de ciertas especies, entre otros métodos perjudiciales para el medio ambiente. Los principios educativos de este enfoque provienen del análisis del trabajo Teaching Jazz To Heal Colombian Communities Affected By Violence[1], el cual reveló que la enseñanza de la música improvisada no solo promueve la paz entre comunidades afectadas por el conflicto armado en Colombia, sino también una armonía entre estas comunidades y su entorno ecológico. Un ejemplo de ello es el empoderamiento de los artistas locales, quienes, a través de sus obras, pueden influir en cambios políticos que favorezcan leyes sobre gestión ambiental, conservación y otros factores cruciales para combatir el cambio climático. En conclusión, este artículo propone una colaboración entre el arte y la ciencia que busca promover y fortalecer diversas iniciativas comunitarias, mejorar la conciencia ambiental y proporcionar las herramientas necesarias para que el sector agropecuario se integre en economías circulares, rompiendo así el ciclo depredador que lo caracterizó durante el siglo XX.
La recepción crítica del concepto kantiano de “reino de Dios” en los escritos tempranos de Hegel
Authors: Rodriguez Gonzalo Santiago 
Published: January 2025

El concepto de “comunidad ética”, presente en la tercera sección de La religión dentro de los límites de la mera razón de Kant, constituye un motivo central para comprender la génesis del pensamiento de Hegel en los períodos de Berna y Frankfurt (1794-1800). La hipótesis principal del trabajo propone que la idea hegeliana de “reino de Dios”, contenida en los escritos del mencionado periodo, resulta de la reinterpretación de aquel concepto kantiano. La demostración de esta tesis se apoyará en la exégesis de pasajes seleccionados de las fuentes.
El desafío de los megaproyectos urbanos gubernamentales: el caso de Ciudad Modelo en Puebla
Authors: Espinosa Flores Adriana Soledad , María de Lourdes Flores Lucero 
Published: January 2025

Ciudad Modelo es un proyecto del Gobierno del estado de Puebla (México) que se construyó con la finalidad de fortalecer el desarrollo industrial de la nueva planta armadora de Audi en su territorio. Esta ciudad se inauguró en 2017 y para 2022 solo estaban ocupadas alrededor del 18 % de las 597 viviendas que se edificaron en una primera etapa. A pesar de que se cumplió con el objetivo de “ofrecer servicios públicos eficientes, de vanguardia, y autosustentables”, los empleados de la planta de Audi prefieren trasladarse desde la ciudad de Puebla que vivir en Ciudad Modelo.
El objetivo del artículo es evaluar el Plan Maestro de Ciudad Modelo para identificar si se omitieron elementos que estén limitando la consolidación del proyecto. Para ello, se realizó una investigación documental y de campo, apoyada con entrevistas a informantes clave, y se utilizó un método explicativo con la intención de acercarse a entender por qué Ciudad Modelo, a pesar de la inversión y voluntad política, no ha logrado consolidarse, identificando los aspectos que no fueron evaluados aunque son necesarios para el éxito de cualquier megaproyecto. La investigación detecta elementos clave que han incidido en la falta de consolidación de Ciudad Modelo, cuyo conocimiento es de suma relevancia para sustentar la toma de decisiones y optimizar la actuación de los Gobiernos en la planeación, promoción y administración de este tipo de megaproyectos.

Authors: Solana-Tramunt Mónica , Bofill-Ródenas Ana , Cabedo Josep , Badiola-Zabala Alesander , Guerra-Balic Myriam 
Published: January 2025

Lumbar range of movement (ROM) is essential to develop effective movements during underwater undulatory swimming technique. Core exercises are used to improve the strength of the muscles that participate on that technique, nevertheless, they are not designed to improve lumbar ROM. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of an 11-week of 3 functional core exercises for underwater technique on lumbar ROM. Methods: A sample of 57 professional swimmers, 34 males (20.24.2 years) and 23 females (20.73.3yrs), volunteered to complete the study. They were randomly divided into 2 experimental groups (EG1 and EG2) and 1 control group (CG). All subjects underwent the same type of training program in parallel with the EG intervention. EG1 and EG2 fulfilled 3 sets, and 10 repetitions of lumbar flexion and extension exercises at breathing pace, 6 days a week during 11-weeks. EG1 performed the core workout with closed eyes and focusing the attention on the lumbar movement, while EG2 just did the workout only by following the breathing pace. Lumbar flexion (F), extension (E) and total ROM (TROM) were assessed by an electro goniometer on a seated relaxed position over a Swiss ball. Results: Repeated measures ANOVA showed significant differences in the multivariate profiles across groups and over time. F (8, 48) = 3.495, p = 0.002. EG1 had non-significant increases of their lumbar ROM, EG2 had significant increases of the TROM and extension ROM and CG had no changes. Conclusions: The results suggest that repeating maximal lumbar movement at breathing pace, with opened eyes and non-focusing attention on the movement, increases lumbar ROM in sagittal plane.

ABSTRACT
As to the sphere of smart water management and managing water Internet of Things (IoT) systems, water condition safety for drinking is very important. The proposed methodology, known as the Smart Water Consumption Monitoring System (SWCMS), is based on the WaterNet dataset acquired from a standard data repository for training the selected machine learning (ML) models. For water quality parameters such as temperature, turbidity, pH, and some chemical concentrations, the system uses real-time sensors. At the testing phase, information received from the sensors is time-stamped, and with the utilization of applicable ML approaches, potential challenges; assessment of water quality is processed. This encompasses the employment of advanced instruments for the detection of water quality with concentration on pH and other chemical values through a detection accuracy rate of over 95% on any other signs of abnormalities. This processed information is further availed with the timestamps to the consumers' mobile phones through a user interface application for real-time awareness and timely response. With the aid of timely information about their drinking water, the SWCMS increases the water safety parameter by 90% and the overall consumer awareness by 92.5%, thereby creating an effective health parameter among the public.
A review of India's water policy and implementation toward a sustainable future
Authors: Singh Shekhar , Goyal Manish Kumar 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT

India is one of the most significant economies globally, and the sustainable use of this priceless resource depends considerably on its water supplies. Moreover, a rural and monsoon-dependent nation faces water scarcity challenges, fueling potential conflicts among sectors and regions while intensifying challenges to food security and livelihoods. This paper conducts a chronological review of India's evolving water supply policies, assessing their impact, identifying gaps in policy implementation, and striving to provide insights for the country's future development of equal and sustainable access to water. In this context, integrating artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in smart water management systems, presents promising implications for improving water supply efficiency and optimizing service delivery processes, proving indispensable in addressing water-related challenges, particularly in regions like India. It could detect and mitigate water losses within distribution systems, providing practical water purification, distribution, and conservation solutions. This review paper also discovered that the Practical Integrated Water Resource Management approach emphasizes decentralized management of water resources and advocates for more efficient, context-specific, and locally tailored solutions for assessing the water resource system for implementing water policy. This approach further leads to minimizing the water scarcity problem in a particular area or region.
Source identification methods in riverine systems: a combined analysis of transient storage and fractional dispersion
Authors: Chabokpour Jafar 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT

This study investigates source identification using different transport models. A data series, operated by the United States Geological Survey and gathered from eight monitoring stations over a reach length of 41.45 km along Antietam Creek, is used. In this research, advection–dispersion equation (ADE), transient storage model (TSM), and fractional advection–dispersion equation (FADE) models were compared to identify the most suitable model for accurate source identification and pollutant transport prediction. The statistical analysis indicates the best performance by TSM since it gives the lowest RMSE of 0.52 ppm and the highest NSE of 0.95, as it allows accounting for temporary retention in the storage zone. With an RMSE of 0.52 ppm and a high NSE of 0.95, the TSM represents the solute transport process more accurately than the other models. In this study, a new relationship about injection distance has been presented using dimensional analysis with R2 = 0.94. It is also found that the dispersion coefficient scales with distance as D ∝ x0.7. Sensitivity analysis indicates that the model is most sensitive to the dispersion–advection ratio, having an elasticity of −0.18. Monte Carlo simulation shows that 95% confidence intervals range from ±3.5% for near-field to ±7.2% for far-field predictions.
Health Promotion Intervention to Improve Public Knowledge on Coronary Heart Disease in Yogyakarta, Indonesia: A Quasi-experimental Study
Authors: Dewi Pramitha Esha Nirmala , Tasminatun Sri , Himawan Wahyu 
Published: January 2025

Objectives
A lack of public knowledge about coronary heart disease [CHD] contributes to the elevated incidence of delayed onset symptoms to the first medical contact and major adverse cardiac events. Health promotion intervention should be the first option in order to direct individuals toward adopting healthy behaviors to avert CHD, and improve their knowledge and attitude in handling CHD-related symptoms. Therefore, this study aimed to observe the impact of educational programs on the improvement of public knowledge about CHD in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Methods
A quasi-experimental approach was implemented utilizing a questionnaire developed by the researchers, which included pharmacists and cardiologists and was based on the BASNEF model. An hour-long educational program was carried out three times a month by inserting the program into the community's routine agenda. A descriptive analysis, t-test, and multivariate regression were performed to evaluate the influence of the program on participants' knowledge regarding CHD.

Results
A higher proportion of participants with a smoking environment [79.6%], diabetes mellitus [88.9%], abnormal waist circumference [61.9%] and abnormal 2 h postprandial blood glucose [77%] among 113 were involved in this study. Significant improvement was observed among the overall results of pre-test [75.59±15.29] and post-test [86.05±8.99] with p-value <0.001. Older participants and participants with acute coronary syndrome history [ACS] significantly improved their knowledge of CHD after the health promotion program with p-values of 0.022 and 0.008, respectively.

Conclusion
These findings suggest that educational interventions could increase participants' knowledge of CHD. Local health officials should implement more health promotion to significantly enhance public knowledge of CHD.

Toxicological effects of methyl eugenol and fenitrothion on hematological, hepatic, renal, and oxidative stress-related biochemical characteristics of white albino rats
Authors: Salim Yehia M. M. , El-Gendy Ismail R. , Nassar Atef M. K. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the possible adverse effects of methyl eugenol (ME), a potent kairomone, and fenitrothion insecticide that are used extensively in male annihilation programs worldwide during the management of fruit flies. Therefore, the side effects of ME, fenitrothion (FEN) and their mix (ME+FEN) were tested in a 28 days-inhalation study on white albino rats. Rats were grouped and exposed to 1/20 LC50 of ME, FEN, and their mixture. Then hematological components, hepatic and renal parameters, and oxidative stress enzymes were measured. Results revealed significant decrease effects on mean cell hemoglobin and mean cell hemoglobin concentration (up to 18% decrease of control), red blood cell (28%), acetylcholinesterase (39%), and total lipids (36%) levels. On the other hand, lactate dehydrogenase (increased to 29.5% of control), uric acid (109%), creatinine (140%), γ-glutamyl transferase (159%), and oxidative stress-related enzymes (glutathione peroxidase (149%), glutathione reductase (170%), glutathione-S-transferase (34%), and superoxide dismutase (88%)) values were increased compared to results of control group. Adverse effects of ME, FEN, and their mixture might trigger an alarm for farmers who directly or indirectly inhale these chemicals continuously in the field. More importantly, safe alternatives to agricultural chemicals, including pesticides, should be enforced.
Lead induced impairments in brain mitochondrial metabolic and oxidative enzymes in pregnant and non-pregnant rats: protective effect of α-tocopherol
Authors: Nagaraj Sreenivasulu , Davuljigari Chand Basha , Gottipolu Rajarami Reddy 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Our earlier studies showed that exposure to lead (Pb) caused irreversible perturbations in the cholinergic system and neurobehavioral functions of female rats. In this study, we extended our studies to investigate the role of mitochondrial metabolic and oxidative enzymes in response to Pb exposure in pregnant and non-pregnant rats. Further, we evaluated the protective effect of α-tocopherol against Pb-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in female rats. Pregnant (GD 1 to PND 21) and non-pregnant rats were exposed to 0.2% Pb for the period of 42 days (6 weeks) while alpha (α)-tocopherol (100 mg/kg) was given orally through gavage for a period of 21 days (last 3 weeks) to Pb exposed pregnant and non-pregnant rats. Rats were decapitated on 7th day and 30th-day after the 42 days Pb exposure. Pb exposure decreased the activities of mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) enzymes whereas the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels increased in the cortex, cerebellum, and hippocampus at both 7th and 30th day points of pregnant and non-pregnant rats. Pb-induced alterations were greater in cortex coinciding with higher Pb levels observed in the cortex than hippocampus and cerebellum. Although the supplementation of α-tocopherol significantly reversed the Pb-induced alterations in the mitochondrial metabolic and oxidative enzymes, the reversal effect on Pb levels in different brain regions was marginal in both pregnant and non-pregnant rats. In conclusion, our data demonstrate that exposure to Pb significantly alters the mitochondrial enzymes in brain region-dependent manner and the effect of Pb was greater in non-pregnant female rats than pregnant rats. Further, the data provide evidence for the protective efficacy of α -tocopherol against Pb-toxicity.
