La colección de arte de Dimitri Tiomkin: relaciones entre arte y música
Authors: Pérez García Lucía 
Published: June 2023

Dimitri Tiomkin (1894-1979) has been one of the most influential film composers of all times. Both, the man and his work have been the recipients of numerous honors and awards, including forus Academy Awards. Along his work as a musician, he cultivated other artistic facets as theater and film producer. Since he was a young man, he moved in cultural and artistic circles that allow him to know some of the greatest figures of the first half of the 20th century. This led him to understand art as a much broader concept than the established categories themselves, establishing a dialogue between disciplines that would influence his training as a person and as a professional. Through the use of documentary and photographic sources, as well as testimonials and original correspondence, we analyze his art collection and his artistic relationships, as well as their influence on his career as a film composer.
Dimitri Tiomkin (1894-1979) ha sido uno de los compositores de cine más influyentes de la historia. Tanto su figura como su trabajo han sido merecedores de múltiples honores y galardones, entre los que se encuentran cuatro premios de la Academia. Junto a su labor como músico, cultivó otras facetas artísticas como la de productor teatral y cinematográfico. El ambiente en el que se movió desde joven le hizo coincidir con muchas de las más grandes figuras del arte y la cultura de la primera mitad del siglo XX. Ello le llevó a entender el arte como un concepto mucho más amplio que las propias categorías establecidas, entablando un diálogo entre disciplinas que influiría en su formación como persona y como profesional. Mediante el uso de fuentes documentales y fotográficas, así como de testimonios y correspondencia original, se analizan su colección de arte y sus relaciones artísticas, así como la influencia de las mismas en su carrera como compositor de cine.
Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey (1804-1892): el viaje a oriente de un pionero del daguerrotipo
Authors: Martínez Muñiz Pablo 
Published: June 2023

This article analyzes the figure of Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey: traveler, orientalist scholar and daguerreotypist of the 19th century. His contribution to the History of Photography is fundamental since he was a pioneer in the use of the daguerreotype from 1842 on his trip to the East, traveling through the current countries of Italy, Malta, Greece, Egypt, Turkey, Syria, Palestine, Israel, and Lebanon. In addition, he was a great artist –watercolorist, draftsman–, he was interested in botany and gardening and stood out for his studies on Islamic architecture and archeology in the Middle East and in Andalusia, a region, the latter, which he visited in 1832. This research uses primary sources –his writings, writings of the time and his daguerreotypes– to build a biographical account in which the first moments of photography are interrelated –released in 1839, just three years before Girault de Prangey’s departure to the Near East– with the interest in Orientalism that existed in Europe in the 19th century.
El presente artículo analiza la figura de Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey: viajero, erudito orientalista y daguerrotipista del siglo XIX. Su aportación a la historia de la fotografía es fundamental ya que fue un pionero en el uso del daguerrotipo a partir de 1842 en su viaje a Oriente, viajando por los actuales países de Italia, Malta, Grecia, Egipto, Turquía, Siria, Palestina, Israel y Líbano. Además, fue un gran artista –acuarelista, dibujante–, se interesó por la botánica y la jardinería y destacó por sus estudios acerca de la arquitectura islámica y la arqueología en Oriente Próximo y en Andalucía, región, esta última, que visitó en 1832. La presente investigación utiliza fuentes primarias –escritos suyos, escritos de la época y sus daguerrotipos– para construir un relato biográfico en el que se interrelacionan los primeros momentos de la fotografía –dada a conocer en 1839, apenas tres años antes de la partida de Girault de Prangey a Oriente Próximo– con el interés por el orientalismo que existía en la Europa del siglo XIX.
De la visualización al (con)tacto devoto. Aproximación a la interpretación física con las hermas griegas
Authors: Huerta Segovia Pelayo 
Published: June 2023

In this paper, I underline the importance to focus not only on the visual but also the physical interaction with the Greek divine image called ‘herm’. On the basis of its bifunctionality, and based on the iconographic and literary evidence, I intend to give a brief interpretation of the meaning of the direct physical contact with this statue, probably linked to a ritual primary functionality and to his ubiquitous presence. Finally, I suggest the adoption of the term "toucher-worshipper" as useful to refer to the ancient comprehension, assimilation, and perception of the semi-iconic visual language and the embodied divine identity.
En el presente estudio, se subraya la importancia de adoptar como instrumento de análisis la interacción no sólo visual, sino física con la imagen divina griega denominada “herma”. Partiendo de su bifuncionalidad, se pretende esbozar una interpretación del significado del contacto físico directo del devoto griego con esta estatua a partir de la evidencia iconográfica y literaria antigua, vinculado a una funcionalidad primaria ritual de esta imagen y a su omnipresencia en el paisaje urbano y rural ateniense. En último lugar, se sugiere la adopción del término “devoto-tocador” para referir a la comprensión y percepción antigua del lenguaje visual semi-antropomorfo de estas imágenes, y de la identidad divina que cobijan.
Intermedialità e sinmedialità nella videoarte contemporanea: Robert Cahen e Pierre Boulez
Authors: Pozzi Raffaele 
Published: June 2023

Intermediality and Sinmediality in Contemporary Video Art: Robert Cahen and Pierre Boulez The French video artist Robert Cahen (Valence, 1945), member of the Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM) founded in Paris in 1958 by André Schaeffer, begun to apply to images the experimental techniques of the so-called «musique concrète» in the early Seventies. Since his first video («L’invitation au voyage», 1972) Cahen manipulates images like sounds and explores the dimension of time perception. Inspired by the complex, fluid motions of sounds in space and by the Schaeffer’s theory and practice of the «écoute réduite», he develops a visual style deeply influenced by a musical conception of time. The concept of time is central in both the Cahen’s works devoted to Pierre Boulez’s music and conducting: the film «Boulez-Répons» (1985) and the video installation «Le Maître du temps. Pierre Boulez dirige Mémoriale» (2011). The article presents and analyzes the original audiovisual language and aesthetic meaning of both works according to the concept of «intermediality» and «sinmediality» in contemporary video art.
The Influence of Community Health Workers on Uptake of Maternal Health Services: Case Study of Musanze District, Rwanda
Authors: Eric Niyongabo Livingstone , Owino Odongo Alfred , Mogere Dominic 
Published: June 2023

Background: Community-based initiatives are a worldwide policy that guarantees that key health services are available and accessible closer to the community. CHWs are an important element of healthcare services in Rwanda. Community health workers integrate individuals of their communities to provide preventive, habitual, and emergency maternity healthcare requirements. Maternal health is still a challenge to the achievement of SDGs by 2030 in the health-care sector compared with the effort provided by CHWs. The aim of study was to assess the influence of community health workers' role on uptake of maternal health services in Musanze District.
Methods: The study design used was an analytical cross-sectional study design utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods. Simple random sample approach was employed to choose 208 CHWs and 16 CHWs’ supervisors were interviewed for qualitative data (KII). The statistical tool for social sciences (SPSS) Version 26, was used to examine the data. Categorical variables were summarized with descriptive statistics for frequencies and percentages. Bivariate analysis with the Chi-square test of independence was used to check the association between both dependent and independent variables. Ordinal logistic regression was used as the most suitable inferential statistic. Qualitative data were analyzed by NVIVO version 10.
Results: This study found that the uptake of maternal health services was regarded as very high. 85.1% of CHWs were knowledgeable on the warning signs of an emergency among pregnant mothers, and 89.4% reported that they would act based on these warning signs. CHWs had necessary training to provide care to pregnant mothers with p* =. 001. Skills that CHWs have on the administration of misoprostol to prevent post-partum hemorrhage was significant with p* <.001. Factors that influenced uptake of maternal health services were CHW’s regular supervision with p*=.001, provision of transportation p*=.001, regular refresher training p* =.002, and motivation/incentives p*=.001, as they were associated with the performance of CHWs towards the uptake of Maternal Health care services. The research recommends improvement of maternal health services through access to contraception, antenatal care, and postnatal care, with particularly scale-up key motherly health services, regular supervision should be done at least every month and training for CHWs quarterly, governmental support in terms of motivations of CHWs.
The Trends of In-Patient Mortality between 2018 and 2019 at Kisumu County Level Four Hospital, Kenya
Authors: Musungu Vincent , Muchiri Joseph , Some Eliab 
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Due to a lack of information on patient mortality, healthcare planners rarely use local data for resource allocation and hospital management. This results in missed opportunities to build hospital capacity to address common causes of death, as well as a poor hospital reputation, fewer patients seeking hospital care, increased medical errors, and increased inpatient mortality.
Objective: To determine trends of hospital mortality between 2018 and 2019 at Level Four Kisumu County Hospital, Kenya.
Methods: The study was a cross sectional retrospective study design. The study targeted files of patients who died between January 2018 and December 2022. Systematic sampling was used in which every file per ward was given a serial number. Each department formed a stratum. Sample size was determined using Yamane Taro formula (N/1+N(e2) which yielded 203 as sample size from population of 680. The risk of death based on the presence or absence of doctor and nurse was analyzed by odds ratio. Chi-square was used to check association of appropriateness of facility, delay of care and distance and mortality. Variation in ward mortalities was analyzed using ANOVA to assess and data presented as line graphs.
Results: According to the current study, the medical ward had the highest 2-year in-hospital mortality rate of 13.86%, while obstetrics and gynecology (reproductive health) had the lowest mortality rate of 0.47 percent. Infections were responsible for 42% of hospital deaths in patients under the age of 35, while noncommunicable diseases were responsible for 41% of hospital deaths in patients over the age of 60. According to the study, 3% of hospital deaths could have been avoided. When a nurse and a doctor were all present, there was a significant difference in the odds of a patient dying (OR=0.697). Comorbidity was a significant risk factor for death among patients who died in 2018 and 2019 (p=0.05). Patient characteristics such as age, education level, and gender were not associated with hospital deaths (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The study found that 3% of hospital deaths were avoidable. More deaths occurred in medical ward from infectious diseases such as pneumonia and pulmonary TB among patients aged <35 years while non-communicable diseases such as cancer, hypertension and diabetes mellitus were important causes of death among the people aged >60 years. The results seem to suggest that more deaths occurred during rainy season between February and August. Patient factors such as age, sex and education level were not significantly associated with hospital mortality. Comorbidities particularly the non-infectious diseases were associated with more deaths.

Authors: Kumar A. B. Yeswanth , C. Umesha 
Published: June 2023

The field experiment was undertaken at Crop Research Farm (CRF) during the Zaid season (march to June – 2022). The Department of Agronomy at SHUATS in Prayagraj (UP). Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is one of the important pulse crops grown mainly in Zaid season under rainfed conditions. Cowpea is considered as an important crop of Uttar Pradesh because of its short duration, high yielding and quick growing capacity. Boron has emerged as an important micronutrient in Indian agriculture in the context of the spread of its deficiency. About one third of the cultivated soils in India are deficient in Boron. Likewise, molybdenum is another micronutrient leading to poor seed yield of pulses in molybdenum deficient soils of Uttar Pradeshis looking into how molybdenum and foliar boron applications affect cowpea growth and yield on soil with a sandy loam texture. To find out the correct doses of molybdenum and boron, this research was aimed. The treatments consist of three doses of Molybdenum viz., 0.5kg ha-1, 0.75kg ha-1 and 1kgha-1 and Boron 0.5% at 3 intervals viz., 30DAS, 45DAS and 30DAS & 45DAS whose effect is observed on Cowpea (var. Gomati). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with Ten treatments replicated thrice. The treatment with application of Molybdenum 1kg ha-1 + Boron 0.5% at 30DAS & 45 DAS recorded significantly higher plant height (72.55cm), number of branches plant-1 (15.33) and plant dry weight (43.68 g), number of pods per plant (16.73), number of seeds per pod (11.67), seed index (18.38g), seed yield (1.59 t ha-1) and Haulm yield (4.16 t ha-1) compared to other treatment combinations.

Background: Rapid and accurate diagnosis of COVID-19 is critical for the management of patients and to limit the spread of the infection. real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT- PCR) is the gold standard for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection, however, it is costly and requires time to obtain a result. A number of alternative rapid tests are available now to provide a faster and more convenient solution for the diagnosis of COVID-19. The aim of this work was to compare the performance of a SARS-Cov-2 Antigen Rapid Test (ART) Cassette to the RT-PCR conventional method.
Methods: Two nasopharyngeal swabs were taken from each of the 126 patients included in this study. Of those, 23 were healthy individuals, 9 were confirmed COVID-19 patients and 103 patients from COVID-19 isolation ward in the hospital. For each patient, one sample was processed for RT-PCR and a second swab was used on the ART kit.
Results: Participants were 57.5% males and 42.5% females. The average age was 54.7 (±14). The QPCR swabs returned 67.9% positivity while the antigen rapid test returned 27.4% positivity. In 56.6% of patients the QPCR results concurred with the rapid test results. Using Fagan nomogram analysis, the 95% confidence interval was (2-20) with a negative likelihood of 0.18. Posterior probability was 0.1. Positive test (blue) prior probability was set at 26%. The 95% confidence interval was (31-41) with a positive likelihood of 1.56. Posterior probability was 0.6.
Conclusion: The ART is a useful and efficient test for diagnosing COVID-19, however, QPCR sensitivity is higher. It is recommended to use ART twice for confirming COVID-19 positivity, which will give a statistically more accurate finding.

Published: June 2023

No Brasil, a existências de duas importantes províncias pegmatíticas localizadas uma na região do Seridó, no nordeste do Brasil e outra mais a sudeste, ao norte do estado de Minas Gerais, limites com o estado da Bahia, apresentam referências da presença de Lítio Geogênico.
O Lítio, geogênico, secundário é um elemento químico que ocorre nos reservatórios geoquímicos superficiais, provenientes da ação do intemperismo químico das fases minerais, portadoras deste elemento. O enriquecimento supergênico fornece este elemento para os solos, sedimentos e água, ou seja, para os reservatórios geoquímicos superficiais. O Lítio é um elemento que traz diversos benefícios terapêuticos, entre eles cita-se o tratamento de distúrbios da saúde mental, como na doença afetiva bipolar, na prevenção de alterações do comportamento, podendo ser relacionado em alguma medida, na redução do suicídio e violência.
O suicídio é a décima causa de morte em todo o mundo. As taxas de suicídio variam muito de país para país e de regiões dentro de um país. O Brasil possui uma das menores taxas de suicídio mundial, no entanto esses números vêm aumentando em torno de 30%, nas últimas décadas.
As relações entre o Lítio e saúde mental podem ser abordadas pela geoquímica médica, que é um novo campo da Geologia, que investiga a distribuição dos materiais geológicos e as possíveis influências sobre a saúde humana. Este artigo apresenta as dificuldades da tentativa de relacionar os constatados teores de Lítio geogênico, existentes no Nordeste do Brasil, com os números das estatísticas de suicídio de levantamentos do sistema de saúde Brasileiro.

Published: June 2023

ImportanceThe past years, evidence suggested that the primary symptoms traditionally associated with bilateral vestibulopathy (BV) do not represent the full picture of this patient population. Recent literature also demonstrated cognitive impairment. However, although multitasking and dual-tasking are widely present in everyday activities, most of these studies assessed cognitive function only in single-task conditions.ObjectiveTo uncover the association of BV with and without hearing loss with cognitive and motor performance and cognitive-motor interference.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis prospective case-control study assessed persons with an isolated BV and persons with BV and a concomitant hearing loss compared with a healthy control group. Data were analyzed in December 2022. The study was conducted at Ghent University (Ghent, Belgium). Data collection took place between March 26, 2021, and November 29, 2022.Main Outcomes and MeasuresAll participants completed the 2BALANCE dual-task protocol, comprising a static and a dynamic motor task that was combined with 5 visual cognitive tasks. These cognitive tasks assessed mental rotation, visuospatial memory, working memory, response inhibition (executive function), and processing speed. All cognitive tasks were performed in a single-task condition (while seated) and in a dual-task condition (combined with a static and a dynamic motor task). The static task comprised balancing on a force platform with foam pad, and the dynamic task comprised walking at a self-selected speed on the GAITRite Walkway. Both motor tasks were performed in the single-task and dual-task condition.ResultsNineteen persons with BV and hearing loss (mean [SD] age, 56.70 [10.12] years; 10 women [52.6%]), 22 persons with an isolated BV (mean [SD] age, 53.66 [13.35] years; 7 women [31.8%]), and 28 healthy control participants were included (mean [SD] age, 53.73 [12.77] years; 12 women [42.9%]). Both patient groups had mental rotation and working memory impairment in a single-task condition and slower processing speed when walking (ie, during the dynamic dual-task condition). Additionally, the patient group with hearing loss had impaired visuospatial memory and executive function deficits in single-task and dual-task conditions, while this could only be elicited when performing a motor task in persons with isolated BV (ie, when dual-tasking).Conclusion and RelevanceThe findings of this case-control study suggest an association between vestibular function and cognitive and motor performance, even greater in persons with a concomitant hearing loss than in persons with an isolated BV.
Liquid‐State Cathode Enabling a High‐Voltage and Air‐Stable Fe‐Al Hybrid Battery

Published: June 2023

AbstractAluminum (Al) is an ideal anode material in low‐cost battery system for energy storage, with high theoretical capacities. However, the sluggish Al3+‐involved kinetics challenges the selection of common cathode materials (Al3+ intercalation or conversion). Herein, a redox‐active Fe–Cl complex serves as the liquid‐state cathode to couple with a low‐cost Al anode, which synergizes the advantages of redox flow batteries and Al rechargeable batteries. The interplay of Fe‐Cl coordinated formula and electrochemical properties are revealed for the first time. It is found that [Fe2Cl7]− molecule has a high voltage versus Al anode (1.3 V), and the novel Fe‐Al hybrid battery fulfills a capacity of 1.6 mAh cm−2 (20 Ah L−1) record high in a coin cell among Al‐based batteries. Furthermore, the energy efficiency, which is a vital parameter to evaluate the energy cost of the energy storage technology, reaches 85% (superior to most Al‐based batteries) and an average of 70% over ≈900 h cycling. Particularly, the unique air‐stable character enables normal operation of the battery assembled in ambient air. This work establishes a new application scenario for Al anode toward low‐cost large‐scale energy storage.
Composition Waves in Solution‐Processed Organic Films and Its Propagations from Kinetically Frozen Surface Mesophases

Published: June 2023

AbstractOrganic thin films deposited from solution attract wide interest for next‐generation (opto‐)electronic and energy applications. During solvent evaporation, the phase evolution dynamics for different components at different locations are not synchronic within the incrementally concentrated liquid films, determining the final anisotropic morphology and performance. Herein, by examining tens of widely investigated optoelectronic organic films, the general existence of composition wave propagating along the surface‐normal direction upon solidification is identified. The composition wave is initiated by a few nanometers thick surface mesophase kinetically forming at the foremost stage of phase transition, and afterward propagates toward the substrate during solvent evaporation. The composition waves exhibit well‐defined wave properties, including spatial wavelength, period, amplitude, and propagation velocity. These wave properties are closely correlated with the evaporation rate and the diffusion rate of organic molecules, which determines the dynamically varied local composition gradient along the surface‐normal direction. Such composition waves are commonly found for more than 80% of randomly examined solution‐processed thin films for high‐performance organic electronic devices including photovoltaic cells and field‐effect transistors.
