Indirect estimation of the need for palliative care during the COVID-19 pandemic: A descriptive cross-sectional study using mortality data in the Biobío Region, Chile
Authors: Barría-Sandoval Claudia , Espinoza Venegas Maritza , Ferreira Guillermo 
Published: July 2023

Background
People with chronic diseases in their advanced phase require palliative care. This is essential to ensure their quality of life as it ends. However, a very low percentage of patients receive the necessary palliative care. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the planning and provision of palliative care. Despite this, in Chile, palliative care coverage was extended by law to cover nononcological chronic diseases. Implementation of this law is expected to be a significant challenge in terms of material resources, as well as the need for the formation of specialized palliative care teams. Therefore, it is essential to estimate the need for palliative care for all chronic diseases to generate useful input for planning and decision-making in public health.

Objectives
To indirectly estimate the need for palliative care among people with Chronic Oncological Diseases (COD) and Chronic Non-Oncological Diseases (CNOD) during the prepandemic and pandemic context due to COVID-19 in the Biobío Region in Chile.

Methods
Cross-sectional study based on mortality data from chronic oncological and nononcological diseases during the prepandemic (2010-2018) and pandemic (2020-2021) contexts due to COVID-19 in a Region of Chile through indirect estimation using minimal estimate, standardized mortality rates and geographically weighted regression.

Results
It was estimated that 76.25% of deaths from chronic diseases in the Biobío Region would have required palliative care, which represents 77,618 people who should have been included in these health benefits. The pandemic had a significant effect on the average number of deaths from CNOD. People belonging to this group were more likely to die from COVID-19 than from their baseline disease, unlike the deaths of people from COD, where no significant changes were observed.

Conclusion
These estimates highlight the potential size of the population requiring palliative care and emphasize the importance of recognizing the rights of individuals with COD and CNOD conditions. It is evident that there is a significant demand for palliative care services, as well as a pressing need for adequate resources, effective management, and strategic planning to cater to the needs of this population. This is particularly crucial in the heavily impacted areas and communes of the Biobío Region, Chile.

Introduction
The main objective of the Informed Health Choices (IHC) project is to teach people to assess treatment claims and make informed health choices. For this purpose, the IHC learning resources were developed for primary school children. The aim of this study is to explore students’ and teachers’ experience when using the IHC resources in primary schools in Barcelona (Spain).

Methods
We conducted a mixed methods study for piloting the IHC resources in a convenience sample of primary schools in Barcelona. The intervention included a workshop with teachers, and nine lessons with students. We collected data using multiple approaches. We performed quantitative and qualitative analyses, and integrated the findings in a joint display. Finally, we formulated recommendations for using the IHC resources in this setting.

Results
Two schools, with a total of 143 students in 4th and 5th grade and six teachers, participated in the study. One school followed the suggested IHC teaching plan and competed all the lessons; the other school modified the plan substantially and did not complete all the lessons. Overall, students and teachers from both schools understood, were interested in, and were able to apply the content of the lessons. During the lessons, the textbook was useful for students; nevertheless, for the teachers, the usefulness of the IHC resources was variable. Teachers adapted the IHC resources to increase student participation and used Information and Communications Technologies tools. We observed more facilitators than barriers to teach the lessons. The teachers suggested some ideas to improve the lessons based on activities they developed and implemented. The integration analysis showed great convergence of the quantitative and qualitative findings. We propose seven recommendations for using the IHC resources in this setting.

Conclusions
Students and teachers from primary schools in Barcelona showed a positive experience when using IHC resources; however, these resources should be adapted to promote classroom participation.

Diálogos entre os quadrinhos de super-heróis e o movimento feminista estadunidense
Authors: Godinho Rocha Bruna Amanda 
Published: July 2023

O presente trabalho busca investigar a representação feminina nos quadrinhos norte-americanos de superaventura, em especial, de editoras mainstream, como a Marvel e a DC Comics. Para subsidiar essa pesquisa, lancei mão de estudos a respeito do movimento feminista e seus impactos na sociedade. De modo geral, desde o surgimento dos quadrinhos contemporâneos, têm se debatido sobre aspectos sociais, políticos e culturais no interior deles. Contudo, apenas a partir da década de 60 devido ao crescente interesse acadêmico é que eles passam a ser analisados como manifestação artística, com possibilidades de crítica, manutenção ou ainda subversão dos modelos tradicionalmente fabricados e naturalizados.

Konsep dan Etika Kebahagiaan Melalui Ekonomi Sufistik
Authors: Casmini Casmini 
Published: July 2023

This article aims to describe the thinking about economic practices that are not dichotomous with religion to get happiness. The offer of Sufistic spirituality becomes a bridge that connects economic activity with servitude to Allah SWT. This research is a literary study with primary sources of positive psychology literature, Sufistic economics and happiness, and secondary sources in the form of complementary sources, namely data about which supports a person can be happy such as economics and Sufism practices. Data analysis was carried out with stages of identification data collection, clarification between sources, classification of discussion themes, narrating, and discussing in a systematic and coherent system. The results showed that happiness is found in the course of economic practices inspired by Sufi spiritual values. Economic practice is guided by the foundation of life that relies on spiritual feelings namely, faith, Islam and ihsan through the stages of takhalli, tahalli and tajalli to find ultimate happiness. Economic behavior runs through the integration of physical and spiritual elements which are integrated into the spirit of economic practice in people's lives.
Keywords: happiness, sufistic-economic, spirituality, economic action

Abstract
This article investigates creating digital maps for physical and geotechnical characteristics of soil based on Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technology and remote sensing for one of the most important areas in Egypt, namely, Delta Nile region, which is characterized by its agricultural and cultural resources. To create accurate digital maps for the soil characteristics of this area, data are collected mechanically, manually and in the laboratory and loaded up with the help of GIS technology using Modified Inverse Distance Weighted as a spatial interpolation technique throughout using 119 soil samples inside Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, Egypt. A digital elevation map of the Delta region has been downloaded using remote sensing technology to obtain the reduced levels of the different points for the studied area. Data were analyzed and studied well to produce six digital maps describing the important physical and geotechnical characteristics of soil such as groundwater level, pH water −Log (H+); the percentage of salts and chlorides (NaCl); Sulfate ratio (SO4); average appearance of the sand layer and average appearance of the clay layer. The results indicate a significant increase in the percentage of chlorides and sulfates, as the percentage of chlorides increased at a rate ranging between 2,000 and 6,000 mg L−1 up to 86.95% of the study area. It was noted that the percentage of sulfates increased at a rate range between 1,000 and more than 2,000 mg L−1 up to 91.5% of the study area. The final groundwater level ranges between 1.5 and 3 m under ground level, but the largest percentage is at a level of 1.5 m with a percentage up to 70% of the area of the study area. When conducting tests on water to determine the acidity and alkalinity aspect, we concluded that most of the values are between 6.8 and 7.3, with 44.62% for the first and 52.63 for the latter.
The human long non-coding RNA LINC00941 and its modes of action in health and disease
Authors: Morgenstern Eva , Kretz Markus 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs have gained attention in recent years as they were shown to play crucial roles in the regulation of cellular processes, but the understanding of the exact mechanisms is still incomplete in most cases. This is also true for long non-coding RNA LINC00941, which was recently found to be highly upregulated in various types of cancer influencing cell proliferation and metastasis. Initial studies could not elucidate the mode of action to understand the role and real impact of LINC00941 in tissue homeostasis and cancer development. However, recent analyses have demonstrated multiple potential modes of action of LINC00941 influencing the functionality of various cancer cell types. Correspondingly, LINC00941 was proposed to be involved in regulation of mRNA transcription and modulation of protein stability, respectively. In addition, several experimental approaches suggest a function of LINC00941 as competitive endogenous RNA, thus acting in a post-transcriptional regulatory fashion. This review summarizes our recent knowledge about the mechanisms of action of LINC00941 elucidated so far and discusses its putative role in miRNA sequestering processes. In addition, the functional role of LINC00941 in regulating human keratinocytes is discussed to also highlight its role in normal tissue homeostasis tissue aside from its involvement in cancer.
Tense-aspect conditioned agent marking in Kanakanavu, an Austronesian language of Taiwan
Authors: Cheng Yi-Yang 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This article examines two types of lexical effects in the voice system of Kanakanavu, an Austronesian language of Taiwan. The first concerns a well-attested phenomenon in the Austronesian literature: interactions between the semantic transitivity of verbs and their ability (or lack thereof) to undergo voice alternation. The second concerns a phenomenon that is typologically and areally rare in the western Austronesian context – differential agent marking. The pronominal agent in Kanakanavu’s patient-/undergoer-voice construction is differentially case-marked depending on the tense-aspect value of the clause. However, lexical effects are found in how the differentially marked agent is interpreted. When dynamic verbs are used, omitted agents in perfective clauses are interpreted as coreferential with a specific referent mentioned in prior discourse, but those in non-perfective clauses are interpreted as having generic reference, backgrounded, and/or not centrally involved in the situation expressed by the verb. When stative verbs are used, alternation between perfective and imperfective verb forms may have various effects on the interpretation of the agent. In some stative verbs, the agent is interpreted as a prototypical semantic agent in the perfective, but as a semantic experiencer in the imperfective. In other stative verbs, the perfective/non-perfective alternation has to do with whether a change of state is involved, without having any effects on agent interpretation. This study explores how lexical effects manifest across both elicited and natural discourse data. It also presents the phenomenon of differential agent marking in Kanakanavu as neither typical nor representative in the western Austronesian context.
Vowel and consonant quantity in two Swiss German dialects and their corresponding varieties of Standard German: effects of region, age, and tempo
Authors: Zebe Franka 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe diglossic situation in German-speaking Switzerland entails that both an Alemannic dialect and a Swiss standard variety of German are spoken. One phonological property of both Alemannic and Swiss Standard German (SSG) is contrastive quantity not only in vowels but also in consonants, namely lenis and fortis. This study aims to compare vowel and plosive closure durations as well as articulation rate (AR) between Alemannic and SSG in the varieties spoken in a rural area of the canton of Lucerne (LU) and an urban area of the canton of Zurich (ZH). In addition to the segment durations, an additional measure of vowel-to-vowel + consonant duration (V/(V + C)) ratios is calculated in order to account for possible compensation between vowel and closure durations. Stimuli consisted of words containing different vowel-consonant (VC) combinations. The main differences found are longer segment durations in Alemannic compared to SSG, three phonetic vowel categories in Alemannic that differ between LU and ZH, three stable V/(V + C) ratio categories, and three phonetic consonant categories lenis, fortis, and extrafortis in both Alemannic and SSG. Most importantly, younger ZH speakers produced overall shorter closure durations, calling into question a possible reduction of consonant categories due to a contact to German Standard German (GSG).
Clinical and molecular description of two cases of neonatal diabetes secondary to mutations in PDX1

Published: July 2023

Summary
Pancreatic dysgenesis (PD) is a rare congenital disease, with less than 100 cases reported in the literature. In most cases, patients are asymptomatic and the diagnosis is made incidentally. In this report, we present the case of two brothers with a history of intrauterine growth retardation, low birth weight, hyperglycemia, and poor weight gain. The diagnosis of PD and neonatal diabetes mellitus was made by an interdisciplinary team composed of an endocrinologist, a gastroenterologist, and a geneticist. Once the diagnosis was made, treatment with an insulin pump, pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, and supplementation with fat-soluble vitamins was decided. The use of the insulin infusion pump facilitated the outpatient treatment of both patients.

Learning points

Pancreatic dysgenesis is a relatively rare congenital anomaly; most of the time, patients are asymptomatic and are diagnosed incidentally.

The diagnosis of pancreatic dysgenesis and neonatal diabetes mellitus should be made with an interdisciplinary team.

Due to its flexibility, the use of an insulin infusion pump facilitated the management of these two patients.
Notas para una perspectiva analítica de la gobernanza ambiental
Authors: ESPINOZA ALMONACID Luis Eduardo 
Published: July 2023

La perspectiva de la gobernanza ambiental ha sido ampliamente difundida e incorporada en los debates y propuestas de diversos actores políticos, organismos de cooperación internacional y esferas académicas en torno a las formas contemporáneas que ha adquirido la dirección, gestión y gobierno de la relación sociedad-naturaleza en el marco global de constantes cambios, riesgos e incertidumbres asociados a la creciente crisis ambiental y ecológica.
Dicha popularidad ha estado acompañada por una importante polisemia del término, variando la definición de la gobernanza ambiental a partir de las perspectivas disciplinarias, tradiciones teóricas y/o enfoques empíricos adoptados. Esto último ha tenido implicancias directas al momento de establecer una propuesta de investigación sobre la gobernanza ambiental, donde se ha observado un avance teórico-metodológico aún incipiente con perspectivas de investigación esencialmente deontológicas y normativas.
En este sentido, pretendemos revisar los aportes desde la gobernanza ambiental, territorial y del agua bajo una perspectiva crítica que problematice las relaciones entre naturaleza, sociedad y tecnología en busca de una perspectiva analítica que permita avanzar en los modos en que las interacciones entre los individuos, los mecanismos, instrumentos y arreglos institucionales de la gobernanza ambiental se relacionan y co-constituyen con distintos aspectos histórico-político-económicos de otras escalas y temporalidades.
Mapeo de proyectos de innovación sustentable en México
Authors: Ramírez Alcántara Hilda Teresa , Torres Sanchez Alfonso Tonatiuh 
Published: July 2023

Los problemas de contaminación del medio ambiente aunado a las condiciones de desigualdad social generaron una creciente concientización sobre la necesidad de cambiar y renovar las pautas de producción-consumo y de comportamiento social. El desarrollo sostenible exige de procesos innovadores creativos que ayuden a crear procesos socialmente inclusivos, satisfacer las necesidades y resolver problemas locales, respetar el medio ambiente y conservar los recursos naturales. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar los proyectos de innovación sustentable en México con el fin de distinguir algunos factores y el papel de las organizaciones que contribuyen al desarrollo local y conservación de los recursos naturales. La metodología es cuantitativa basada en el análisis de 87 estudios de caso localizados en libros especializados, revistas arbitradas y páginas oficiales.
Conclusión. El 40% de los proyectos son impulsados por el gobierno a través de sus políticas públicas, el 15% por las universidades y el 14% por las asociaciones civiles y el 31% restante por otras organizaciones como: comunidades rurales, empresas con distintas razones sociales, instituciones de asistencia privada y cooperativas. La región del Centro del país es la que más impulsa los proyectos sustentables. Los proyectos son orientados principalmente a los sectores de la construcción, tecnología y agricultura. A México le faltan políticas públicas para crear ecosistemas, combatir las crisis y para desarrollar innovaciones frugales, endógenas, inclusivas y así lograr el desarrollo local y el bienestar integral. Por esto, es urgente implementar estudios de sostenibilidad y ecoinnovación con dirección al desarrollo local sostenible con la finalidad de preservar los recursos naturales, y lograr la cohesión social y el crecimiento económico.
Why do Infinite Forms Matter: Analysis of Verbs from the Lexical Database of Lithuanian Language Usage
Authors: Kovalevskaitė Jolanta , Rimkutė Erika 
Published: July 2023

From the corpus data, we observe that in the real language usage, the particular verb does not appear in all theoretically possible finite and infinite verb forms in the morphologically rich Lithuanian but is used in those forms which are relevant for the verb patterning. On the one hand, by teaching vocabulary, is it important to represent lexis in these relevant forms – frequently used forms, and, on the other hand, in grammar teaching, there is a need to provide learners with appropriate vocabulary, e.g., by teaching infinite forms, to use verbs, in the usage of which, these forms are relevant and frequent.In this paper, we provide language teaching practitioners with the data about the frequently used Lithuanian verbs and show which of them and how often appear in infinite forms (participles in passive and active voice, adverbial participles, half participles). As a research data we use 200 verbs from the Lexical Database of Lithuanian Language Usage which was developed on the basis of the written subcorpus of the Pedagogic corpus of Lithuanian. The investigated verbs belong to the frequent vocabulary: in the corpus of approx. 700,000 tokens, these verbs are used 100 times (and above). First, we analysed, which verbs appear in infinite forms, second, we checked whether frequent and typical infinite forms are included into corpus pattern(s) of these particular verbs, and if there is a link between the infinite form and a particular meaning of the verb.All verbs (except of three verbs with no infinite forms) were included into one of three groups: 1) 11 verbs which occur in the infinite forms frequently (more than 50% of all forms – finite and infinite) and, accordingly, typical; 2) 117 verbs with the infinite forms making up from 10 to 50%; 3) 69 verbs, with the infinite forms making up less than 10% of all verb forms. Interestingly, the verbs of the first group, usually have only one infinite form, e.g., participle in passive voice which makes up more than 50% of all forms of verb. These cases are also frequently observed in the second verb group. Thus, if the verb tends to be used in infinite forms, it is important to know which infinite form is relevant to that particular verb.In the Lexical Database of Lithuanian Language Usage, lexical and grammatical patterning of the word is represented in the form of corpus patterns. In this study, we showed the interrelation between the frequently used infinite forms of the verb and its corpus patterns (also, corpus patterns related to particular meaning of the polysemous verb). We can expect various applications of the provided data in the Lithuanian as a foreign language teaching: the provided data about the verbs typical and frequent in infinite forms and the corpus patterns including these infinite forms can be used for building vocabulary training as well as for developing grammar exercises.
