El Cooperativismo Moderno: Avances en la diversidad multiétnica y de género en Ecuador
Authors: Albuja Rivadeneira Zoila Karina , Albuja Rivadeneira Ángel Javier 
Published: January 2025

Conociendo las innumerables razones por la cual el cooperativismo debe ser implementando en cada uno de los sectores del Ecuador, se inició con un proceso de socialización en distintas comunas, parroquias y estratos del área rural del país, en donde se capacitó a más de 3.000 productores en temas relacionados con el cooperativismo, a la par de la capacitación se fue midiendo el nivel de respuesta de cada una de las asociaciones, federaciones y personas naturales que fueron parte de estos talleres que se los llevó a cabo in situ (en cada uno de sus territorios). Es así que se incursionó en varias comunidades y organizaciones ecuatorianas, trabajando específicamente en organizaciones multiétnicas, con las cuales a través de varios talleres y capacitaciones se logró sembrar la semilla cooperativista en cada uno de sus miembros; inicialmente, no tuvo acogida la llamada a ser parte de cooperativas no financieras, ya que por los múltiples programas y proyectos que se han ejecutado en el país, los cuales no han sido sostenibles, los productores han perdido la fe en que mediante una estructura de trabajo mancomunada van a salir de la pobreza, por esto fue necesario idear estrategias y realizar varias actividades para que se genere el debido interés y se puedan formar cooperativas agropecuarias de producción. Las capacitaciones y el enfoque cooperativista, se llevaron a todos los rincones del país, tanto fue el interés que organizaciones de la Amazonía ecuatoriana demostraron su voluntad para ser parte de este sistema cooperativo, es así que la asociación de mujeres indígenas Bio Warmy Amazónico del Ecuador, emitió su petición para ser consideradas como parte estratégica de estos talleres y sobre todo participar en la conformación de la cooperativa de mujeres indígenas Bio Warmy.

Published: January 2025

El estudio titulado “Susceptibilidad antimicrobiana de bacterias causantes de infecciones del tracto urinario en Latinoamérica” tiene como objetivo analizar la resistencia bacteriana a los antibióticos para tratamiento de infecciones urinarias en la región. El enfoque de la investigación es revisar estudios recientes que evalúen la susceptibilidad antimicrobiana de las bacterias más comunes, como Escherichia coli y Klebsiella pneumoniae, para determinar patrones de resistencia y proponer alternativas terapéuticas efectivas. La metodología aplicada consistió en una revisión sistemática de estudios publicados entre 2014 y 2024 en bases de datos científicas. Se aplicó el método PRISMA para garantizar la calidad y coherencia en la selección de artículos, considerando solo aquellos que evaluaron infecciones urinarias y resistencia a antibióticos en la región latinoamericana. La revisión incluyó estudios realizados en laboratorios clínicos, centros de salud y hospitales de diferentes países, con una atención especial en los estudios sobre resistencia a las cefalosporinas y fluoroquinolonas. Los resultados mostraron que E. coli sigue siendo el patógeno más prevalente, con altos niveles de resistencia a antibióticos comunes como ciprofloxacina y cefalosporinas. Sin embargo, la amikacina y la fosfomicina demostraron ser más efectivas contra estas bacterias. La revisión destacó la necesidad urgente de modificar las guías terapéuticas en la región para incluir estos antibióticos. La alta prevalencia de bacterias multirresistentes requiere un ajuste en los tratamientos empíricos para infecciones urinarias en Latinoamérica. Las políticas públicas deben enfocarse en el control del uso de antibióticos para prevenir una mayor resistencia y mejorar los resultados clínicos.

Published: January 2025

Access to sustainable sanitation and hygiene facilities is one of the biggest challenges faced by developing countries because of the increasing population of these regions. This study assessed the environmental sanitation and hygiene behaviours and facilities among households of Jos metropolis, Nigeria. The data used for the research were obtained through observations, field surveys and the use of questionnaire while secondary data sources included information from the internet, books and databases. The study employed random and purposive sampling techniques in the selection of sampled wards of Jos metropolis and elicited information from 383 respondents in the area. The data was analysed through the use of simple descriptive statistics like frequency tables, bar graphs and pie charts. The study revealed that sanitation and hygiene facilities like flush and pour toilets, pit latrines, sink and showers are predominant in most residential houses and majority of people take their bath once in a day because of work pressure and just very few don’t take their baths at all in a day. It therefore recommends among other things that in order to improve the hygiene and the sanitary condition in the area, government and other stakeholders should intensify efforts towards ensuring the success of the monthly environmental sanitation, NGOSs and health facilities should regularly hold health education sessions for households. Also, individuals and other stakeholders should embark on construction of decent public toilets in strategic locations in the metropolis in order to discourage people from defecating in the bush or open spaces.

Authors: Bouma Thio , Pascal Bazongo , Issa Wonni , Salam Kiemde 
Published: January 2025

Aims: An inventory of parasitic nematodes associated with Cotton is carried out during the 2017-2018 wet season in the major production areas in Burkina Faso.
Study Design: Indeed, the cotton plant is attacked by a large number of pests, including plant parasitic nematodes, which is observed at high population levels in the country's main cotton-growing areas.
Place and Duration of Study: The study is conducted in Burkina Faso, for the Institute of Environment and Agricultural Research, Farako-Bâ station, for few months.
Methodology: 94 samples of roots and adjoining soils are taken and nematodes are extracted from 250 cubic centimeters (cc) of soil using the Seinhorst elutriator method. The nematodes present in the roots are extracted by the Seinhorst sprinkler method. Population densities are expressed in terms of Number of nematodes/dm3 of soil and Number of nematodes/g of roots.
Results: About ten (10) genera of plant-parasitic nematodes are identified and represented by Meloidogyne, Pratylenchus, Helicotylenchus, Scutellonema, Tylenchorhynchus, Telotylenchus, Rotylenchulus, Xiphinema, Criconemella and Paratrichodorus. Under the conditions of Burkina Faso, five (5) nematodes are considered as being able to cause yield losses on cotton, namely Helicotylenchus, Scutellonema, Tylenchorhynchus, Pratylenchus and Telotylenchus because they are frequent and abundant with frequencies between 100% and 36% for densities varying between 7,328 and 1,360 nematodes/dm3 of soil.
Conclusion: On the other hand, the nematodes Meloidogyne and Rotylenchulus as major pests of Cotton throughout the world have been observed at low frequencies but at often high levels of population abundance, Research perspectives focus on the characterization of the main parasitic nematodes of cotton and the development of control methods oriented towards resistance varieties and cultural practices which suggests that their development requires particular soil and soil moisture conditions.

Published: October 2023

ObjectiveTo describe the health care resource use (HCRU) and costs of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) prior to and after diagnosis.MethodsThis retrospective study used a claims data set (Merative MarketScan; 2015‐2019). Eligible patients with SSc were identified by diagnosis codes and required at least 24 months of enrollment without an SSc diagnosis before their first SSc claim and at least 12 months of enrollment thereafter. Total HCRU and costs were reported for three intervals: 2 years and 1 year before and 1 year after index diagnosis. A general population cohort without SSc was matched 1:1 to the SSC cohort on age and sex for comparison.ResultsEligibility criteria identified 902 patients with SSc (mean age: 54 years old; 85% female). Mean per‐member per year costs increased each year from $22,383 to $29,708 to $47,095, 2 years before, 1 year before, and 1 year after index diagnosis versus $10,232 to $9656 to $9714 in the general population cohort. Outpatient settings represented the largest proportion of cost 1 year after SSc diagnosis ($16,392), followed by prescription drugs ($10,692), physician office ($10,523), and inpatient ($9448) settings.ConclusionPatients with SSC accrued greater costs and required more services than a general population cohort. These elevated expenditures and HCRU were observed at least 2 years before an SSc diagnosis and increased over time, reflecting both the progressive, multisystem nature of SSc and potential challenges in diagnosis. These findings suggest that SSc poses a substantial burden on the US health care system and highlights the need for early diagnosis and effective therapies.

Published: October 2023

AbstractA four‐step metal‐free procedure is described for the transformation of 4‐hydroxy‐2‐methylcyclopent‐2‐enone derivatives into highly functionalized E‐alkylidenecyclobutanes featuring oxygenated tetrasubstituted centers. The key intermediate is a (cyclobutenyl)propane‐1,3‐diol diester, easily accessed via a tandem photochemical reaction, which undergoes an original Brønsted acid‐catalyzed allylic substitution reaction with alcohols to give the title products with ester‐protected primary alcohol side chains.
Brief report: Physical activity assessment and counseling in adults with Down syndrome
Authors: Harisinghani Ayesha , Torres Amy , Oreskovic Nicolas M. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractAdults with Down syndrome are at an increased risk for developing certain medical conditions, which can be further exacerbated by lower levels of physical activity. Physician counseling can provide a supportive environment to encourage modes of physical activity accessible to patients and caregivers. While some adults with Down syndrome have access to a Down syndrome specialty clinic, most are followed only by a primary care physician. This report includes adult patients with Down syndrome followed at a Down syndrome specialty clinic in Boston and compares physical activity assessment and counseling rates by Down syndrome specialists and primary care physicians. Patients were more likely to have physical activity assessment and counseling performed by a Down syndrome specialist than by a primary care physician. A better understanding of the barriers primary care physicians caring for adults with Down syndrome experience related to physical activity counseling could help improve important health habit counseling in this high‐risk population.
Ultrafast Xanthate‐Mediated Photoiniferter Polymerization‐Induced Self‐Assembly (PISA)
Authors: Bowman Jared I. , Eades Cabell B. , Vratsanos Maria A. , Gianneschi Nathan C. , Sumerlin Brent S. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractPolymerization‐induced self‐assembly (PISA) is a powerful technique for preparing block copolymer nanostructures. Recently, efforts have been focused on applying photochemistry to promote PISA due to the mild reaction conditions, low cost, and spatiotemporal control that light confers. Despite these advantages, chain‐end degradation and long reaction times can mar the efficacy of this process. Herein, we demonstrate the use of ultrafast photoiniferter PISA to produce polymeric nanostructures. By exploiting the rapid photolysis of xanthates, near‐quantitative monomer conversion can be achieved within five minutes to prepare micelles, worms, and vesicles at various core‐chain lengths, concentrations, or molar compositions.
From Biomimicking to Bioinspired Design of Electrocatalysts for CO2 Reduction to C1 Products
Authors: Trogadas Panagiotis , Xu Linlin , Coppens Marc‐Olivier 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe electrochemical reduction of CO2 (CO2RR) is a promising approach to maintain a carbon cycle balance and produce value‐added chemicals. However, CO2RR technology is far from mature, since the conventional CO2RR electrocatalysts suffer from low activity (leading to currents <10 mA cm−2 in an H‐cell), stability (<120 h), and selectivity. Hence, they cannot meet the requirements for commercial applications (>200 mA cm−2, >8000 h, >90 % selectivity). Significant improvements are possible by taking inspiration from nature, considering biological organisms that efficiently catalyze the CO2 to various products. In this minireview, we present recent examples of enzyme‐inspired and enzyme‐mimicking CO2RR electrocatalysts enabling the production of C1 products with high faradaic efficiency (FE). At present, these designs do not typically follow a methodical approach, but rather focus on isolated features of biological systems. To achieve disruptive change, we advocate a systematic design methodology that leverages fundamental mechanisms associated with desired properties in nature and adapts them to the context of engineering applications.

Published: October 2023

AbstractPoly[n]catenanes have exceptional mechanical bonding properties that give them tremendous potential for use in the development of molecular machines and soft materials. Synthesizing these compounds has, however, proven to be a formidable challenge. Herein, we describe a concise method for the construction of twisted polycatenanes. Our approach involves using preorganized double helicates as templates, linked crosswise in a linear fashion by either silver ions or triple bonds. By using this approach, we successfully synthesized twisted polycatenanes with both coordination and covalent bonding employing Ag(I) ions and ethynylene units, respectively, as the linkages and leveraging the same Ag(I)‐templated double helicate in both cases. Synthesis with Ag(I) ions formed a single‐crystalline one‐dimensional (1D) coordination poly[n]catenane, and synthesis using ethynylene units generated 1D fibers which self‐assembled with solvents to form a gel. Our results confirm the potential of multi‐stranded metallohelicates for creating sophisticated mechanically interlocked molecules and polymers, which could pave the way for exploration in the realms of molecular nanotopology and materials design.
Effect of DMA characteristics on risk and asset analysis of the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority pipe network

Published: October 2023

AbstractThis study examines the District Metering Area (DMA) characteristics in the pipe networks of Metropolitan Waterworks Authority (MWA), with a specific focus on risk and asset analysis, including water loss rate, water usage, and pipe density. The objective is to classify the DMA types based on these characteristics and to determine the influence of area characteristics on water distribution infrastructure. This is achieved by employing risk assessment and asset valuation techniques to identify pipes that require replacement. Initially, the Area Characteristic Index (ACI) for all 64 DMAs within the Ladprao service office branch was evaluated using a fuzzy inference system. Subsequently, six selected DMAs from three distinct area types were analyzed by the fuzzy logic model to figure out the Risk Index (RI) values. Concurrently, the Infrastructure Value Index (IVI) contributed to the asset valuation. These indices pinpointed both the high‐risk pipe routes and the poor‐condition infrastructure. Moreover, the Modified Risk‐Value Index (MRVI) was adopted to prioritize these pipe routes within a constrained budget. The main conclusion drawn is that while DMA characteristics do not directly influence the identification of deteriorated pipes through risk assessment and asset analysis methods, the characteristic of a high water loss rate does impact the number of pipe routes identified by the RI.

AbstractPurposePostoperative delirium (POD) is a usual complication after total hip/knee replacement, which may be affected by sleep characteristics. However, up to now, preoperative sleep characteristics have not been evaluated as risk factors of POD. The relationship between self‐reported sleep characteristics and POD in patients has been investigated in this study.Patients and MethodsWe recruited 495 cognitively intact individuals in the final analysis from the Perioperative Neurocognitive Disorder and Biomarker Lifestyle study. Sleep characteristics were tested by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Mini‐mental state examination was applied to assess preoperative mental status of patients. Postoperatively, we used confusion assessment method and memorial delirium assessment scale to evaluate the incidence of POD and POD severity, respectively. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of T‐tau, P‐tau, Aβ40, and Aβ42 were detected by enzyme‐linked immune‐sorbent assay before the operation. Logistic regression, multiple linear regression, and mediation effects were performed to analyze the relationship between self‐reported sleep characteristics and POD.ResultsPOD was detected in 11.31% (56/495) of the patients, with logistic regression analysis showing that daytime dysfunction, P‐tau, and T‐tau were risk factors of POD, and Aβ42 was a protective factor of POD. Multiple linear regression analysis confirmed that daytime dysfunction was positively correlated with P‐tau in patients with POD. Meanwhile, compared to the patients with no postoperative delirium, the CSF levels of P‐ and T‐tau were higher in patients with POD. Furthermore, mediation analysis showed that it was probable that daytime dysfunction mediated POD through P‐tau (proportion: 12.90%) partially.ConclusionDaytime dysfunction is a risk factor of POD preoperatively. To sum up, CSF P‐tau protein might partially mediate the influence of daytime dysfunction on POD.Clinical trial registrationThis study was registered at Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2000033439).
