Effect of anthropized water on eukaryotic organisms
Authors: Kasper Natan , Baroni Suzymeire , Barcelos Rodrigo Patera 
Published: January 2024

This work explored whether anthropized environments have the potential to promote cellular alterations in eukaryotic organisms. Wild fish that are in constant contact with anthropized water were evaluated using the following variables: presence of nuclear alterations and micronuclei in erythrocytes using the Feulgen method; and tissue analysis of the gills and liver through histological sections using Hematoxylin and Eosin staining. Therefore, 200 individuals were analyzed over 24 months. The results show that these environments are promoters of significant changes in liver and gill tissue and induce nuclear changes in erythrocytes. The analyses were subjected to statistical tests at a significance level of 0.5%.

Time series analysis is a useful tool for many practical water resource management applications, such as planning and anticipating conflict around water use. These analyses are also necessary for the use, design and operation of hydrotechnical works and for the protection of aquatic ecosystems. Basically, his review focuses on classic models such as Box and Jenkins. However, restrictive assumptions about data and residuals make its use difficult. As an alternative, non-parametric approaches are interesting due to their application versatility. One of the techniques that has been widely used in the analysis of flow time series is Singular Spectral Analysis (SSA). However, its application is concentrated as a pre-processor or in hybrid approaches and, because of this, many studies focus only on the model to be improved, leaving gaps in the process understanding that underlie the SSA. Within this context, and because of this, the objective of this study is to present the SSA technique in detail, through an application to a time series of monthly average flows with complex behavior (Jucu River, located in Southeast Brazil), in order to overcome gaps associated to a rigorous understanding of the procedures that make up the SSA. The Sequential SSA technique was used to decompose signal and noise components. The reconstructed series preserved the dynamics of the observed series, suggesting a strong influence of the signal component (trend and seasonality) on its behavior. It’s expected that the technique can be used with greater fluidity by specialists and contribute to the management of water resources.

Webs usables y accesibles en PYMEs. Retos para el futuro
Authors: García-García María , Castillo Díaz Ana 
Published: January 2024

En un entorno cada vez más competitivo en el que Internet ocupa un lugar destacado, trasladar la marca del entorno offline al online para una empresa, se ha convertido en una cuestión vital. La usabilidad y la accesibilidad se han erigido como pilares fundamentales que propician una adecuada transmisión de cualquier marca a través de la Red. Disponer de páginas webs usables y accesibles facilitará la navegación por la web, mejorará la imagen de la empresa y fidelizará a los usuarios de la marca a través de la web.
El presente artículo es el resultado de una investigación en la que se ha analizado cómo las PYMEs se comunican con sus públicos basándose en la usabilidad y la accesibilidad como pilares sustentadores de la marca en el entorno online. Los resultados obtenidos indican que la usabilidad es un aspecto tenido en cuenta por las PYMEs, si bien, más como un elemento tecnológico que de transmisión de marca. La accesibilidad ocupa un lugar secundario en el diseño de las webs, ya que carecen de ningún estándar que las acredite y la preocupación por la misma no se traduce en páginas totalmente accesibles. Se puede decir que la preocupación por transmitir la marca es incipiente pero que, actualmente, las PYMEs no hacen uso de todo el potencial que les brinda la red.

Published: January 2024

Background An ecologically and economically important species in East Asia, the natural resources of pen shell Atrina pectinate have suffered severe population declines due to habitat destruction, pollution, and overfishing. Assessing genetic diversity and population structure is the basis for establishing conservation programs for A. pectinate. Results Our data indicated that high genetic diversity was found in all six populations, with mean allelic richness (Ar) ranging from 8.255 to 9.734, mean observed heterozygosity (Ho) from 0.574 to 0.680, and mean expected heterozygosity (He) from 0.620 to 0.691. The five A. pectinate populations were divided into two clusters. This clustering result was partly consistent with their geographical origin; the RZ population did not cluster with the northern populations (DL, CD), suggesting that there is no genetic divergence and geographical differentiation between the North China Sea (CD, DL, and RZ) and the Southeast China Sea (HK and ST). Conclusion Our results show no significant genetic differentiation between samples from the North China Sea and the Southeast China Sea. High dispersal potential of larvae by passive drift with ocean currents may explain the lack of genetic differentiation between samples. The results suggest a weak level of genetic structure in A. pectinate with a long planktonic larval stage.

Published: January 2024

Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs), including Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, are characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the thyroid and the production of thyroid autoantibodies. While the etiology of AITDs is still not fully understood, a combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental triggers is believed to contribute to the breakdown in immune tolerance. This study aimed to evaluate the levels of thyroid hormones (T3, T4, TSH), Anti-thyroid peroxidase Abs (Anti-TPO Abs), Anti-Thyroglobulin Abs (Anti-TG(, and apoptosis marker (Caspase-8 ) in Iraqi patients with AITDs compared to healthy controls.
A total of 1000 patients participated in the study 820 were excluded from the study because it was non-immune thyroid disease, and 180 subjects were recruited, including 60 Graves’ disease patients, 60 HT patients, and 60 healthy controls. Serum levels of T3, T4, TSH, Anti-TPO Abs and Anti-TG, caspase 8, and inhibin were measured. T3 and T4 levels were significantly decreased in Hashimoto's thyroiditis patients and increased in Graves’ disease patients compared to controls. TSH was significantly elevated in Hashimoto's thyroiditis and reduced in Graves’ disease patients. Caspase-8 was significantly higher in Hashimoto's groups compared with the control group, and Significantly lower in Graves group compared with the control group.
In conclusion, an altered balance in thyroid hormones, Anti-TPO Abs, Anti-TG, and apoptosis markers occurs in AITDs. Elevated caspase-8 suggests that increased apoptosis may contribute to thyroid damage in AITDs. Further research is needed to clarify the roles of these mediators in AITD pathogenesis.
Locational and Seasonal Bioaccumulation of Heavy Metals in Bivalves Sinanodonta woodiana and Unio tigridis from the Al-massab alam River, Thi-qar province
Authors: M. Al-taher Qasim 
Published: January 2024

The aim of this research was to measure and compare the contents of three elements (chromium, uranium, and aluminum) in water, sediments, and oysters (Unio tigridis and Sinanodonta woodiana) from three stations in different seasons. The results showed that the concentration of these elements varied widely while exhibiting some trends and patterns. Chromium had very low concentration in water as well as oysters yet there was an increase in sediments during winter until autumn. Uranium had low concentrations in water plus oysters however its concentration increased significantly during summer including autumn season in water as well as sediments. Aluminum exhibited wide variations among stations and seasons with no clear trend or pattern both in water, sediments and oysters. Several factors might have caused variations of these elements such as; natural geochemical background, anthropogenic activities, hydrological conditions, biological processes and analytical methods used. It is therefore necessary to conduct more research on these variations so that their causes could be identified as well as their effects while assessing the potential ecologic impacts plus human health risks within the study area.

Identidad nacional y literatura panameña para niños y jóvenes en los planes y programas de estudio de Español en la etapa primaria del nivel de Educación Básica General de Panamá
Authors: Changmarín Romero Abril 
Published: January 2024

El estudio se dirige a determinar la incorporación de la literatura infantil y juvenil de autores panameños en los planes y programas de estudio de la asignatura de Español de la educación primaria en Panamá, como medio por excelencia para la formación de la identidad nacional y cultural. Para tal propósito se utilizó una metodología de tipo analítica-descriptiva y el estudio de fuentes documentales y bibliográficas de interés.
Del trabajo se concluye que, aunque desde la instancia Constitucional y de la Ley 47 Orgánica de Educación se establece la formación de la identidad nacional como una de las finalidades y objetivos del sistema educativo, se observa una ruptura de tales intencionalidades debido a imprecisiones y omisiones en los programas de Español.
Por la importancia de los planes y programas curriculares como instrumentos orientadores del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje a nivel nacional, se advierte la necesidad de un replanteamiento de éstos, para fortalecer la formación de la identidad nacional y cultural mediante la lectura, apreciación, valoración y expresión creativa de obras de autores panameños de literatura infantil y juvenil.

Published: January 2024

The purpose of Civic Education in Lebanon includes the structure of the government and the way it functions. Isn’t it civic desert? One should consider then, the meaning of civics. Civics does not focus on a course or a book, but rather on fundamental social learning. It is the need to lay the foundation for communication and critical thinking when encountering traditions in conflict with what one’s own. Yet schools have their role to play, by revealing secular values, for conflict affected areas can easily regress to violence. A menu of civics implement classroom discussion of current critical events. Yet, Lebanese schools are overtaken by the baccalaureate program which hardly gives any time to controversial issues. Teachers are important elements in teaching civics. They have to believe in what they teach, display it verbally, nonverbally and add ‘mindful learning’. Yet, one can visualize an array of socio-personal factors when issues are controversial, knowing that humans are resistant to change. To conclude, teaching quality in civics is to be ranked highly on the scholarly agenda and research is needed to better understand the improvement of civic education.
