BackgroundAmbient heat exposure is increasing due to climate change and is known to affect the health of pregnant and postpartum women, and their newborns. Evidence for the effectiveness of interventions to prevent heat health outcomes in east Africa is limited. Codesigning and integrating local-indigenous and conventional knowledge is essential to develop effective adaptation to climate change.MethodsFollowing qualitative research on heat impacts in a community in Kilifi, Kenya, we conducted a two-day codesign workshop to inform a set of interventions to reduce the impact of heat exposure on maternal and neonatal health. Participants were drawn from a diverse group of purposively selected influencers, implementers, policy makers, service providers and community members. The key domains of focus for the discussion were: behavioral practices, health facilities and health system factors, home environment, water scarcity, and education and awareness. Following the discussions and group reflections, data was transcribed, coded and emerging intervention priorities ranked based on the likelihood of success, cost effectiveness, implementation feasibility, and sustainability.ResultsTwenty one participants participated in the codesign discussions. Accessibility to water supplies, social behavior-change campaigns, and education were ranked as the top three most sustainable and effective interventions with the highest likelihood of success. Prior planning and contextualizing local set-up, cross-cultural and religious practices and budget considerations are important in increasing the chances of a successful outcome in codesign.ConclusionCodesign of interventions on heat exposure with diverse groups of participants is feasible to identify and prioritize adaptation interventions. The codesign workshop was used as an opportunity to build capacity among facilitators and participants as well as to explore interventions to address the impact of heat exposure on pregnant and postpartum women, and newborns. We successfully used the codesign model in co-creating contextualized socio-culturally acceptable interventions to reduce the risk of heat on maternal and neonatal health in the context of climate change. Our interventions can be replicated in other similar areas of Africa and serve as a model for co-designing heat-health adaptation.

IntroductionThe emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 led countries to implement a set of public health and social measures (PHSMs) attempting to contain the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This study aims to review the existing literature regarding key results of the PHSMs that were implemented, and to identify the PHSMs considered to have most impacted the epidemiological curve of COVID-19 over the last years during different stages of the pandemic.MethodsThe PHSM under study were selected from the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT), supplemented by topics presented during the Rapid Exchange Forum (REF) meetings in the scope of the Population Health Information Research Infrastructure (PHIRI) project (H2020). The evidence- based review was conducted using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines to identify which reviews have already been published about each PHSMs and their results. In addition, two modified Delphi panel surveys were conducted among subject matter experts from 30 European countries to uphold the results found.ResultsThere were 3,212 studies retrieved from PubMed, 162 full texts assessed for eligibility and 35 included in this PHSMs summary. The measures with clearest evidence on their positive impact from the evidence-based review include social distancing, hygiene measures, mask measures and testing policies. From the modified Delphi panel, the PHSMs considered most significant in the four periods analyzed were case isolation at home, face coverings, testing policy, and social distancing, respectively.DiscussionThe evidence found has significant implications for both researchers and policymakers. The study of PHSMs’ impact on COVID-19 illustrates lessons learned for future pan- and epidemics, serving as a contribution to the health systems resilience discussion. These lessons, drawn from both the available scientific evidence and the perspectives of relevant subject matter experts, should also be considered in educational and preparedness programs and activities in the public health space.

Published: August 2023

IntroductionThis study explores women’s agribusiness by employing feminist theories to gain an understanding of the gender dimension of business beyond economic value, including non-material and non-market aspects associated with social reproduction.MethodsWe conducted fieldwork between July and October 2021 in Vietnam through in-depth interviews with 16 women entrepreneurs in towns on the border with China, who engage in livestock-trading, and in the Central Highlands, who engage in domestic and international horticultural trade.ResultsOur findings confirm that women entrepreneurs manage their business, family, and family relations together as one consolidated commitment in flexible, informal, and creative ways. Research focusing solely on economic analyses obscures not only women’s hidden labor and time in the household that enable men to dominate agribusiness, but also women’s resistance to male-privileged agribusiness.DiscussionPositioning social reproduction at the center of women’s economic activities enables researchers to have a full picture of how male-privileged agri-food systems are sustained, which is the first step towards disrupting existing inequalities in agri-food systems.
A Physical Phenomenon for the Fractional Nonlinear Mixed Integro-Differential Equation Using a Quadrature Nystrom Method
Authors: Jan A. R. , Abdou M. A. , Basseem M. 
Published: August 2023

In this work, the existence and uniqueness solution of the fractional nonlinear mixed integro-differential equation (FrNMIoDE) is guaranteed with a general discontinuous kernel based on position and time-space L2Ω×C0,T, T<1. The FrNMIoDE conformed to the Volterra-Hammerstein integral equation (V-HIE) of the second kind, after applying the characteristics of a fractional integral, with a general discontinuous kernel in position for the Hammerstein integral term and a continuous kernel in time to the Volterra integral (VI) term. Then, using a separation technique methodology, we developed HIE, whose physical coefficients were time-variable. By examining the system’s convergence, the product Nystrom technique (PNT) and associated schemes were employed to create a nonlinear algebraic system (NAS).
Jorge Cuesta : poesia a la mano
Authors: Sheridan Guillermo 
Published: August 2023

« Jorge Cuesta, poésie au fil de la vie ».
Plus de soixante ans après sa mort et lors du centenaire de sa naissance, Jorge Cuesta (1903- 1942) a fait l'objet de nouvelles études qui entraînent une profonde révision de sa place dans la littérature mexicaine. Outre sa poésie assez peu étudiée jusqu'alors parce qu'une certaine critique l'avait classée parmi les « oeuvres difficiles », le lecteur dispose depuis 1964 et 1981 d'une édition de ses textes complets incluant notamment ses essais (et des témoignages dans le tome V).
La communication fait le point sur l'ensemble de cette œuvre « réunie » et dégage les apports des études biographiques, en mettant l'accent sur les vues de deux auteurs. Louis Panabière, Jorge Cuesta : itinerario de una disidencia, conçoit la biographie comme substance d'une existence et s'attache à définir la vie courte, intense et libre de Jorge Cuesta comme un tout. Au conventionnel l'homme, c'est l'œuvre, il superpose l'idée que pour Cuesta l'œuvre est sa vie, et renouvelle entièrement les perspectives herméneutiques développées jusque-là qui tendaient à opposer un Cuesta critique, rationnel, profondément savant et réfléchi, et un Cuesta lancé dans un aventure poétique solitaire, une avant-garde orgueilleuse qui l'aurait tenu séparé des autres membres du groupe des Contemporáneos.
Nigel Grant Silvester, Vida y obra de Jorge Cuesta (1984) voit l'écriture de Cuesta comme un élan de liberté, une libération érigée en système (comme l'ont pensée les surréalistes et comme l'a théorisée Reverdy). Cette liberté s'applique aussi à ses essais critiques qui visent à en communiquer l'essence à ses lecteurs. Cet élargissement donne à la poésie de Cuesta ce caractère propre à une œuvre qui ne se lit qu'en rapport avec elle-même. La communication rassemble des données sur les travaux critiques autour de cet écrivain, au Mexique (Paz, Garcia Ponce, Monistes) et en France (A. Duny, B. Ménard) et conclut sur le rôle nouveau de la critique dans la mise en valeur d'un poète d'exception.

« El hombre, su vida y/o su obra. Los ojos. Vida y pasión de Antonio Berni,
de Fernando Garcia ».
La labor del biógrafo tiende a valorar aspectos propios de la persona que respondan a una expectativa del lector, mayormente cuando se trata de una personalidad de las Bellas Artes. Asi ocurre con el pintor argentino Antonio Berni (1905-1981) : el centenario de su nacimiento ha suscitado varias exposiciones retrospectivas y la redacción de una primera biografia compléta porel periodista Fernando Garcia. La ponencia destaca la labor de investigadory el mecanismo de búsqueda de la información en torno a la persona tanto como en torno a la obra : pintura, escultura, participación en el gran movimiento de renovación del arte asi como en la historia del compromiso del artista a lo largo del siglo XX.
La atención principal de esta biografia se aplica a una relación vivida de la creación y de la preservación de la obra, a exaltar su repercusión en el marco de Argentina y su lugar en el mundo occidental. Puede verse en este libro un ejemplo de biografia interpretativa en que la personalidad del creador explica la obra y el prestigio de la obra refuerza el talento de reportaje del biógrafo.
Hormonal Activity of Neuroendocrine Extra-Adrenal Pheochromocytoma (Paraganglioma): A Rare Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Хусейн С.Х. , Пархоменко Л.Б. , Рукша К.Г. 
Published: August 2023

Феохромоцитома и параганглиома относятся к редким гормонально-активным нейроэндокринным опухолям, встречающимся в 2–8 случаях на 1 миллион населения в год. Феохромоцитома возникает из продуцирующих катехоламины хромаффинных клеток в мозговом веществе надпочечников, тогда как параганглиома представляет собой опухоль, возникающую из хромаффинных клеток, расположенных вне мозгового вещества надпочечников – в симпатических/парасимпатических нервных ганглиях. Анатомическое расположение – единственный способ различить эти опухоли из-за их эквивалентных гистопатологических характеристик. Известно, что феохромоцитома и параганглиома (PPGL) обладают гормональной активностью из-за гиперсекреции катехоламинов. Анатомическая локализация катехоламин-секретирующей опухоли и признаки избыточного выброса катехоламинов необходимы для диагностики PPGL. Эти опухоли уникальны не только с точки зрения их клинических проявлений, которые включают множество симптомов, вызванных высвобождением катехоламинов, но также с точки зрения биологии опухоли и прогноза заболевания. Хирургическое удаление опухоли является основным видом лечения. Применение альфа-адреноблокаторов (феноксибензамин или доксазозин) до операции демонстрирует улучшение гемодинамической стабильности.
Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma are considered rare neuroendocrine tumours, and estimated to be 2–8 cases per million inhabitants. Pheochromocytoma is derived from catecholamine producing chromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla, whereas paraganglioma is a tumor arising from chromaffin cells located outside the adrenal medulla – sympathetic/ parasympathetic neural ganglia. Anatomical location is the only way to distinguish between these tumours because of their equivalent histopathological characteristics. Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) are known to have hormonal activity due to catecholamine oversecretion. The anatomical localization of the CA-secreting tumor and evidence of excessive catecholamine release are both necessary for the diagnosis of PPGL. These tumors are unique not only in terms of their clinical presentations, which include a variety of symptoms brought on by the release of catecholamines, but also in terms of tumor biology and the prognosis for the disease. Surgical removal of the tumour is the mainstay of the treatment. The use of alpha-blockers (phenoxybenzamine or doxazosin) preoperatively demonstrates improved haemodynamic stability.

Abstract
Microscopic piezoelectric response of a poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanote) (PHBH) fiber, a polymer more biodegradable than poly (lactic acid) (PLA), are observed. The crystallization of PHBH fibers is enhanced by the annealing, and a strong piezoelectric response is observed in the particles. Different positive and negative piezoelectric responses are observed within a single PHBH fiber particle by lateral piezoresponse force microscopy. The piezoelectric response of PHBH fiber is suggested to be due to piezoelectricity, since the molecular chain of PHBH fiber has a helical structure similar to that of PLA and cellulose. In addition, the deformation is confirmed to be a displacement corresponding to particles of 100–300 nm in diameter.
Advances and Challenges in IoT Sensors Data Handling and Processing in Environmental Monitoring Systems
Authors: Okafor Nwamaka 
Published: August 2023

<p>Advances in IoT technologies provide a new epoch in ecological sensing leading to the deployment of millions of sensor devices to sense and monitor the environment. IoT sensors have the capacity to provide high spatial and temporal resolution data to supplement traditional data-gathering methods, thereby filling the gaps that exist within current environmental data-gathering methods. Applications of IoT sensors in environmental monitoring are broad ranging from air quality monitoring, and monitoring of biodiverse regions including forests and peatlands to protection of endangered species. The use of IoT sensor devices in environmental monitoring, however, has raised several questions, especially pertaining to the quality of sensor data, sensor reliability, accuracy, and in-field performance. IoT sensors are prone to failures especially when deployed for medium to longer-term monitoring, leading to the collection of erroneous data. </p>
<p>A common question within the IoT research domain is how to handle IoT sensor data, especially in terms of processing, fusion with other data sources as well and analysis to glean useful insights from the data in support of effective decision-making. Several authors have proposed different data handling methods for IoT sensor data and proposed techniques have led to improvement in overall data quality and field performance of IoT sensor devices. Methods for addressing IoT sensor data analysis integration with emerging technologies, such as cloud computing, fog computing, and edge computing along with methods to make Data storage choices have also been proposed. </p>
<p>This paper will survey the various methods that have been designed and developed for handling and processing IoT sensor data, especially in environmental monitoring networks, the prospects, challenges, and limitations of these methods will be examined.</p>
From morphological basic research to proposals for regenerative medicine through a translational perspective
Authors: Checchi Marta , Stanzani Virginia , Truocchio Serena , Corradini Matteo , Ferretti Marzia , Palumbo Carla 
Published: August 2023

Basic research, especially morphological research, often fails to get off the ground due to scarcity of opportunities and funding. There is a need to exploit ideas, while starting from a morphological basis, to channel them into pathways with translational value: patents, trademarks, alternative experimental models, etc., aimed at formulating new proposals for applied research.
Among the many sprouts emerging in laboratories where basic research is carried out throughout the country, one reality from Emilia Romagna region is represented by some insights from human anatomy teachers and researchers at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. They have developed an original idea whereby they propose to use very small bone segments (the scleral ossicles –SO) taken from the sclero-corneal boundary of lower vertebrates with protruding eyes (particularly from avian species) to supplement 3D scaffolds to be used in regenerative medicine (by triggering/improving angiogenesis and osteogenesis) for the recovery of severe bone injuries, defined as “critical size”, i.e., unable to recover autonomously. The idea was followed by the patent application and, subsequently, the filing of a trademark (Pal-OS®) concerning to SO-derivatives (powders, sticks, caps, etc.).
In times when respect for the natural environment and attention to animal health are among the relevant aspects for an ecosystem’s welfare, along with these patent and trademark a focus was developed on experimental methods alternative to animal testing, with which to be able to test the efficacy of the proposed products while respecting the 3 R’s rules, using a model already known and exploited in the past, the chorio-allantoic membrane – CAM, revisited today from an ethical perspective.
The article traces the observations that led to the idea of patenting scleral ossicles, of filing the Pal-OS® trademark and of using the CAM model to test their validity for regenerative purposes, with the ultimate goal of underlining how morphological observations, interpreted from a translational perspective, can provide interesting insights for clinical applications.

Authors: Mahdi Ban , Audah Furqan 
Published: August 2023

The current study sheds light on the effect of oxidative stress on the development of atherosclerosis. Thirty-eight males and twenty-two females with atherosclerosis were chosen as the patient group, whose samples were collected from the "Open-Heart Unit in Al-Sadr Teaching Hospital in Najaf City". Thirty healthy people who do not suffer from vascular disease, hypertension or diabetes, with similar ageing of patients, were selected as a control group.
Total antioxidant capacity, Insulin, cholesterol, hemoglobin and platelets were measured in atherosclerosis patients and the control group. The results show a significant increase in full antioxidant capacity, Insulin, cholesterol, haemoglobin and platelets in patients with atherosclerosis compared with the control group; the results also showed a significant increase in hemoglobin and platelet count in males with atherosclerosis compared with females. There is a positive relation between T-AOC and Insulin in atherosclerosis patients, while there is no relationship between T-AOC and both (Hb & PCV) in atherosclerosis patients.
