La educación tradicional devorada por internet y las redes sociales
Authors: Constante Alberto 
Published: March 2023

La educación en nuestro continente invariablemente ha sido deficitaria. Ha estado marcada por la instrumentación de planes y programas de estudio viejos, obsoletos, desaseados, improvisados y, en el mejor de los casos: experimentales, y a esto habría que agregarle que, al menos en México, la educación ha estado atravesada por un sindicalismo deshonesto y corrupto, que sólo se ha enriquecido a costa del erario nacional y que nunca ha funcionado para mejorar la educación. En tal sentido, pensar la educación y sus procesos actuales ayuda a replantear tanto las condiciones como las metodologías usadas por una educación tradicional, que se ve obligada a cambiar debido a los procesos actuales, y más aún por la pandemia del COVID-19. Para tal propósito, algunas ideas de autores contemporáneos que reflexionan sobre las nuevas tecnologías (Costa, 2021; Harari, 2021; y otros) pueden ayudarnos en la comprensión de la cuestión, mostrando a la vez un halo de incertidumbre y expectativas por todo lo que nos ha dejado la postpandemia, pero también por las nuevas trasformaciones que vendrán.
Solidarité et confiance dans le couple
Authors: Kaufmann Jean-Claude 
Published: March 2023

Quelle est la nature des liens qui unissent un couple? On parle souvent d’ «amour», mais cette définition reste très vague si l’on considère que les formes amoureuses sont multiples et que ce sentiment est présent à des degrés très divers dans la vie conjugale.
L’analyse plus précise des sentiments et principes qui fabriquent le lien conjugal contemporain permet de mieux cerner comment il évolue actuellement. Diverses notions sont étudiées dans l’article: la solidarité, le respect, la confiance et le soutien mutuel. La reconnaissance mutuelle également, dont on constate qu’elle doit s’imposer à d’autres cercles de reconnaissance pouvant devenir concurrents, y compris les plus proches comme les parents ou les amis.
Il en ressort un nouveau rôle du conjoint, sorte de thérapeute de l’âme, dont la fonction est de restaurer l’estime de soi du partenaire, mise à mal par le fonctionnement de notre société.

Abstract
For nearly three years, humans have experienced multiple rounds of global transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and its variant strains. In addition, the widely used vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 involve multiple strategies of development and inoculation, globally. Thus, the acquired immunity established among humans is quite complicated, and there is still a lack of understanding within a panoramic vision. Here, we provide the special characteristics of the cellular and humoral immune responses in 2-year convalescents after the inoculation of inactivated vaccine, in parallel to vaccinated COVID-19 naïve persons and unvaccinated controls. The decreasing trends of the IgG, IgA, and neutralizing antibodies (NAb), but not IgM of the convalescents were reversed by the vaccination. Both cellular and humoral immunity to SARS-CoV-2 in convalescents after vaccination were higher than the vaccinated COVID-19 naïve persons. Notably, the inoculation of inactivated vaccine fueled the NAb to Omicron BA.1, BA.2, BA.4, and BA.5 in the 2-year convalescents, much higher than the NAb during 6 months and 1 year after symptoms onset. And no obvious T cell escaping to the S protein was observed after the inoculation in the 2-year convalescents. The study provides insight into the complicated features of acquired immunity of humans to SARS-CoV-2 and variants in the real world, and indicated that promoting vaccine inoculation is an essential way to achieve herd immunity against emerging viral variants for the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including the convalescents.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
TO family of TCOs is probably the most popular substrate for systems that need the electrical conductivity and transparency at the same time. Among them Fluorine doped Tin oxide (FTO) provides chemical stability, abrasion tolerance and resistant to high temperatures more than other materials. FTOs are mostly fabricated by CVD and such complex systems that raise many malicious issues of complexity, environment and high cost. Despite most sophisticated systems, the material can be easily fabricated in the form of thin films by low-cost methods including spray pyrolysis, solgel method etc. Low cost methods provide better and affordable solution with the comparable characterization results of deposited thin films. In present work, Fluorine doped tin oxide thin films (FTO) are developed on glass as TCO by a modified spray pyrolysis method and their opto-electronic properties are studied alongwith their structural morphology, crystalline nature and grain size. The modified approach in spraying showed excellent results as transparency value exceeds 90% with resistivity value of 1.8 x 10− 5 Ωcm for 500 nm thickness, evaluated by line analysis of AFM. The particle size calculated by Williamsons-Hall method complies with AFM analysis lies between 50–60 nm.

Published: March 2023

Abstract

Background Breast cancer (BC) remains still is a community public health problem of world widely in both developed and under-developed countries. It is the greatest frequently happening cancer among women in sub-Saharan African countries, especially in Ethiopia. In spite of the overburden of difficulty, the predictors associated with mortality are not yet determined in Ethiopia. Besides, studies related to this area are sparse. Therefore, the main objective of this investigation was to determine the major significant predictors which influenced to shortened survival time of BC patients in Northern Ethiopia. Methods An institutional-based retrospective cross-sectional study design was conducted from September 12, 2015, to March 9, 2019, among 146 women who had BC in Northern Ethiopia. The statistical analysis was done by using STATA version 14 software. Kaplan-Meier curve for survival experience and a Log-normal regression model for predictor identification were applied. Results The overall prevalence of experiencing death rate was 18.5% in Northern Ethiopia. The selected patients were followed retrospectively for an overall estimated mean follow-up time of 28.12 months. The age range of patients was 23–78 years with a median of 48 years. The multivariable Log-normal model analysis revealed, being distant metastatic [ATR = 0.52, CI= (0.341, 0.787)], regional metastatic [ATR = 0.63, (0.423, 0.924)], Age [(ATR = 0.98, 95% CI: (0.968–0.997)], Baseline tumor size [(ATR = 0.98, 95% CI: (0.968, 0.996)], Clinical Stage IV [ATR = 0.48, 95% CI: (0.297–0.789)], illiterate [ATR = 0.52, 95% CI: (0.325–0.823)], and urban residence [ATR = 0.68, 95% CI: (0.516–0.904 )] were found to be critical risk factors of time to death breast cancer patients. Conclusion In conclusion, the findings showed that the prevalence death rate among BC patients in Northern Ethiopia still remains a critical public health problem. Being clinical stage IV, distant and regional metastasis, illiteracy education level, baseline tumor cell level, residence, and old Age were found to be the most important risk predictors for the time to death of patients. Therefore, the government and other stakeholders need to address educational opportunities; creating awareness about the diagnosis of late-stage disease and valuable counseling of screening programs on time would reduce the death rate and lengthen the survival time of patients.
Reversible Elastomer-Fluid Transitions for Metamorphosic Robots
Authors: Yang Yang , Yuan Sishen , Ren Hongliang 
Published: March 2023

Abstract

Endowing robots with reversible phase transition ability, especially between elastomer and fluid states, can significantly broaden their functionality and applicability. Limited attempts have been made to realize the reversible elastomer-fluid transition. Existing phase transition materials in robotics have over-hard (~4 GPa) or over-soft (~4 kPa) stiffness in the solid states, which should be further investigated to perform more compliant motions. Advanced reversible phase transitions for metamorphosic robots demand sufficient elasticity in the elastomer state, rapidity and reversibility of the transition state, and controllable fluidity in the fluid state. To address these challenges, we present a reversible elastomer-fluid transition mechanism for metamorphosic robots enabled by magnetically induced hot melt materials (MIMMs). The transition principle is explained by material analysis, and material characterizations are conducted to understand the reversible elastomer-fluid transition. MIMMs-based metamorphosic robots endow self-metamorphosing abilities, such as self-healing, spatial self-growing, self-division/assembly, and additive manufacturability. When interacting with external environments, MIMMs-based robots can perform further multifunctional abilities, such as collaborations for structure repairs, swimming by symbiosis with external objects, flowing through a narrow terrain by transiting to fluid, and working with elastomeric structures for stiffness-variable fluid soft actuators. Biomedical applications were demonstrated to present the multi-functionality of MIMMs-based robots. The proposed elastomer-fluid transitions may open a new path for robots to generate more flexible and metamorphosic motions, thereby addressing the cross-phase transformation challenges that soft robots face.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Introduction: Gastric malignancies are common worldwide, with a high incidence rate and mortality. Relevant studies are needed to further demonstrate the harmfulness of gastric malignancies to improve the awareness of its prevention.
Methods: The SEER database was used to obtain the clinical data of 122793 patients diagnosed with gastric malignancies from 2000 to 2019. Along with performing univariate and multivariate analyses, the associated survival rates of each variable were analyzed using SPSS software. Columnar line graph prediction models were developed and validated using R software.
Results: In total, 122793 gastric malignancy patients were included in this study, including 74303 males(60.51%) and 48490 females(39.49%). Most patients were aged 60-74 years old: 45603 patients(37.14%). The follow-up time was 0-239 months, the median follow-up time was 11 months, and 91869 patients(74.82%) died. Gastric adenocarcinoma was the main pathological type: 96259 patients(78.39%). The main disease site was the cardia of the stomach: 34019 patients(27.70%); Most patients lived in cities: 109706 patients(89.34%). Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that gender, age, tumor size, tumor location, AJCC stage, pathological type, rural/urban, and treatment were independent risk factors for prognosis(P<0.05). The C-index of the nomogram prognostic model was 0.763 ± 0.002, and the areas under the ROC curve of the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rates were 0.76, 0.79 and 0.79,respectively. The calibration curve showed that the predicted survival rate of the nomogram was in good agreement with the observed survival rate.
Conclusion: The prognosis of tumors located in the greater curvature of the stomach is relatively good. The patient’s city level is proportional to the prognosis. The prognosis of gastric stromal tumors and gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms is significantly better than that of the other pathological types. The patients who reach the surgical indication should have surgery as early as possible to prolong the survival time.
Impact Assessment of Particulate matter (PM 10 ) by Cement Industry: A Case Study in Khrew&amp; khanmoh (J&amp;K), India
Authors: Qadri Syed Rizwana , Ahmed Mudasir 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The concentration of pollutant particulate matter (PM10) associated with cement production in Kashmir valley (Khrew and Khanmoh; where currently nine cement plants are operational) and its effect on human health were assessed in this study. The air pollutant particulate matter was assessed using the Air Quality Index (AQI) methodology. By comparing the collected data with permissible limits given by National Environment quality (NEQ) we found that in the Khrew area of the valley, the concentration of PM10 was highest in 2017 (141.65 µg/m3) whereas the permissible limit for a year is 60 µg/m3, and the lowest was in 2018 and 2019 (112.55µg/m3, 116.58 µg/m3) respectively. The concentration of PM10 in the khanmoh area was also high in 2017 (171.87µg/m3) which is higher than the khrew area and the lowest was recorded in 2019 (119.8 µg/m3). By analyzing the concentration of PM10 in both areas (Khrew and khanmoh) the cement plants which are located in these two areas should use pollution control devices to overcome this pollution as this concentration of PM10 is not good for human health as it can cause respiratory illness to the people on prolonged exposure. The effect may be more pronounced in people with lung and heart diseases (IND. AQI) as both areas fall in the "poor" category (AQI).

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Lung cancer is a significant public health concern, and early identification can improve patient outcomes. Advanced machine learning approaches can increase the precision of computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) systems that use medical pictures to diagnose diseases, such as CT scans, which can help find lung cancer. In this paper, we examine the usage of image analysis and CAD while also proposing an unique method for predicting lung cancer using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) approaches. Our study utilized a dataset of lung CT scans from patients with and without lung cancer. The lung regions' important characteristics were extracted from the preprocessed pictures using segmentation and feature extraction techniques. After that, we used these variables to train a CNN model to identify the likelihood of lung cancer. Our paper demonstrates the potential of CNN techniques and image analysis in predicting lung cancer with high accuracy rates. The suggested method might be utilized to create more precise and efficient CAD systems for diagnosing lung cancer, possibly resulting in early identification and better patient outcomes.Further research is required to examine the clinical applications of this technique and to confirm these findings in bigger datasets.
The value of the acromiohumeral distance in the diagnosis and treatment decisions of patients with shoulder pain: A retrospective case-control study
Authors: Xu Feng , Xie Na , Ji Dongxu , Gao Qian , Liu Chen 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background: The role of subacromial space reduction in causing shoulder pain / rotator cuff tears (RCTs) remains controversial. It is widely thought that extending the acromiohumeral distance (AHD) by subacromial decompression provides limited relief of shoulder pain. Herein, we assessed the differences in AHD between patients with shoulder pain treated with or without surgery and analyzed whether there was a linear relationship between AHD and Constant-Murley shoulder joint function score (CMS) and severity of RCTs.
Methods: A retrospective case-control study included patients from our hospital from 2019 to 2022 divided into surgical treatment (n=93) and non-surgical treatment (n=116) groups. The two groups were comparable in age, gender, and location of shoulder pain. Data, including the degree of RCTs, CMS, and AHD, were recorded. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare differences between groups in AHD, RCTs, and CMSs. Pearson correlation analysis was used to represent the correlation between AHD and CMS. Spearman correlation analysis was used for the correlation between AHD and RCTs grade and CMS and RCTs grade.
Results: AHD was smaller in the surgery group than the non-surgery group, but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The CMS of the surgical group was significantly lower than the non-surgical group (P<0.001). The degree of RCTs was significantly more severe in the surgery group than in the non-surgery group (P<0.001). Pearson correlation analysis between AHD and CMS showed a weak or no correlation(P>0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed a significant correlation between CMS and RCTs (P<0.001). However, no significant difference was found between AHD and RCTs (P = 0.797).
Conclusions: Our results suggest that surgical or non-surgical management of patiens with shoulder pain or RCTs should focus on shoulder joint function and degree of rotator cuff tears, and a potential decrease in subacromial space/AHD has minimal value.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Objective To discuss whether within-visit blood pressure variability (BPV) increases the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR) after adjusting for the conventional metabolic risk factors and to evaluate the independent impact of BPV to DR in diabetic patients.
Methods The study featured 625 patients with T2DM based on physical and biochemical tests. Among them, 66 patients had DR, and 66 HbA1c matched subjects without the condition (NDR group) were therefore handpicked from the remaining 559 participants in a ratio of 1:1. Three systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) readings were recorded by physicians during a single medical assessment. Within-visit BPV for each subject was defined using the standard deviation of SBP (SBPSD) and DBP (DBPSD), coefficient of variation of SBP (SBPCV) and DBP (DBPCV).
Results No significant differences were found in laboratory testing parameters as well as general clinical data between the two groups (P＞0.05), but cases of DR had higher SBPSD (2.88±2.41 vs 3.76±2.63, P=0.046) and SBPCV (1.92±1.63% vs 2.29±1.56%, P=0.036) than NDR subjects. SBPSD and SBPCV were both independent statistical indicators of DR after adjusting for age, gender, smoking history, alcohol consumption, obesity, history of hypertension, SBPM, DBPM, HbA1c and TC [OR: 1.188, 95%CI: 1.030-1.370, P=0.018 and OR: 1.271, 95%CI: 1.031-1.566, P=0.025, respectively].
Conclusion In T2DM patients, elevated within-visit SBPV associates strongly with DR in spite of no statistical difference in metabolic indicators. Even to the same degree of blood glucose control, within-visit SBPV is an independent indicator of DR.

Abstract

Background The incidence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) has decreased year by year in China after the expansion of vaccination, but there is still a high disease burden in Jiangsu Province of China.
Methods The incidence data of HBV in Jiangsu Province from 1990 to 2021 were collected. The incidence rates of males and females age groups were clustered by systematic clustering, and the incidence rates of each age group were analyzed and studied by using Joinpoint regression model and age-period-cohort effect model (APC).
Results Overall, HBV prevalence decreased in both sexes. In addition, the results of the APC model showed that the age, period, and cohort effects of patients all affected the incidence of HBV, and the incidence was higher in males than in females. The incidence is highest in the population between the ages of 15 and 30 years (mean: 21.76/100,000), another high-risk group is those over 60 years (mean: 21.40/100,000). The period effect of the APC model suggests that HBV vaccination is effective in reducing the incidence of HBV.
Conclusions The incidence of HBV in Jiangsu Province showed a gradual downward trend, but the disease burden in males was higher than that in females. The incidence is higher and increasing rapidly in the population between the ages of 15 and 30 years and people over 60 years of age. More targeted prevention and control measures should be implemented for males and the elderly.
Impact of Day 3 Cell Number on the Live Birth Rate of Vitrified-Warmed Single Blastocyst Transfer
Authors: Qiu Pingping , Ye Ronghui , Li Ping , Huang Hui , Ding Lu 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background: Previous studies have reported inconsistent results regarding blastocyst selection with high cell number of day 3 (D3) and the eventual pregnancy outcomes. Thus, this study investigated the relationship between the D3 cell number and clinical outcomes of single blastocyst transfer (SBT) in vitrified-warmed transfer cycles.
Methods: A total of 1144 vitrified-warmed cycles of SBT were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the D3 cell number, the cycles were divided into four groups: group A (3–7 cells, n = 130); group B (8–9 cells, n = 621); group C (10–12 cells, n = 328); and group D (13–16 cells, n = 65). The differences in live birth rate (LBR), clinicalpregnancy rate, and miscarriage rate were examined among the four groups.
Results: The LBR and clinical pregnancy rate increased with the D3 cell number (P < 0.01). No significant difference was found in the miscarriage rate among the groups (P= 0.055). After adjusting for confounding factors, the LBR was significantly higher in groups C (odds ratio [OR] = 1.506, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.148–1.976, P < 0.01) and D (OR = 2.081, 95% CI: 1.218–3.556, P< 0.01) than in group B.
Conclusions: A high D3 cell number (>9 cells) was associated with a high LBR in the vitrified-warmed SBT cycle. The cell number of D3 embryos can be an important reference indicator for blastocyst selection. Among blastocysts with the same morphological score, those with >9 cells on D3 can be preferentially selected for transplantation.
