Esta tesis central se fundamenta con un relato sobre la evolución de este fenómeno a partir de los años setenta. El texto concluye analizando la problemática migratoria actual que toma en cuenta las fronteras de México con América Central y Estados Unidos y ofrece recomendaciones para mejorar las condiciones de los migrantes.
Introduction

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Two hundred seventy-four million people-one in thirty people on the planet-are in humanitarian need as of September 2022.1 More than one hundred million of these individuals are displaced, usually as a result of crisis: conflict, political upheaval, economic meltdown, or climate shocks.2 In a humanitarian crisis, health is the most urgent and paramount need. But today the system for preventing and addressing humanitarian crisis is failing, and with it, the health needs of millions of vulnerable people are under threat. From treating childhood acute malnutrition to delivering COVID-19 vaccines to ensuring access to sexual, reproductive, maternal, and newborn health, health care in humanitarian contexts requires a dramatic rethink amid growing challenges to access and service delivery.
Bayesian Local Projections
Authors: Ferreira Leonardo N. , Miranda-Agrippino Silvia , Ricco Giovanni 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
We propose a Bayesian approach to Local Projections that optimally addresses the empirical bias-variance trade-off intrinsic in the choice between direct and iterative methods. Bayesian Local Projections (BLP) regularise LP regressions via informative priors, and estimate impulse response functions that capture the properties of the data more accurately than iterative VARs. BLPs preserve the flexibility of LPs while retaining a degree of estimation uncertainty comparable to Bayesian VARs with standard macroeconomic priors. As regularised direct forecasts, BLPs are also a valuable alternative to BVARs for multivariate out-of-sample projections.
No Pain, No Gain: Work Demand, Work Effort, and Worker Health
Authors: Hummels David , Munch Jakob R. , Xiang Chong 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
We employ Danish worker-firm data to study the effect of rising workload on health. Using both within-job-spell regression analyses and cohort event studies, we show that increases in firm sales lead workers to log longer hours and experience higher probabilities of stress, depression, heart disease, and strokes, with more pronounced effects for high-risk groups such as older workers, job-strained workers, and those with long initial work hours. We calculate that the average worker's ex-ante welfare loss due to higher sickness rates accounts for nearly one quarter of her earnings gains from rising firm sales.
Examining the Interaction of Development Investment and the Media in China’s Image-Building in Africa from below
Authors: Ameyaw-Brobbey Thomas 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This article uses Nigeria to explore the interplay of China’s economic investments and the media as image-building instruments of Nigerians’ perception of China. Thus, the purpose is to investigate whether China’s development assistance has shaped the desired outcome—Nigerian public support of China—and to explore the media’s role in this process. How effective are China’s economic and infrastructural investments as strategies for influencing a positive public image in Nigeria? How can visibility—the amount of media coverage and exposure—of China’s investments in Nigeria shape favourable Nigerian public support? Utilising a range of datasets and a longitudinal analysis, I find that Chinese investments may improve Nigeria’s economic growth and people’s standard of living, but are insufficient to build a positive public image of China. However, China could create a long-lasting favourable public image from its investments if the programmes were supported with effective media representation that made them more visible through the public’s news sources. I employed a qualitative research technique and rested the theoretical argument on mediated public diplomacy.
The Capture of the Capitoline in Roman Historical Thinking
Authors: Neel Jaclyn 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This article argues that the stories of Tarpeia and of Manlius Capitolinus are variations on a single, historically attested concern about internal enemies on the Capitoline. Moreover, the unusual presentation of these stories in Ovid in particular can be explained by various chemical properties of the mint, most likely located near the temple of Juno Moneta. Concerns about the safety of the mint in the late Republic may have driven authorial interest in these tales.
Capacity-building for Coastal Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience in the Pacific Islands
Authors: Chand Prerna , Buliruarua Leigh-Ann , Morris Cherie 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Capacity-building for coastal climate change adaptation in the Pacific Island countries (PICs) is paramount in ensuring resilience building and sustaina-ble management of coastal resources. The Pacific-European Union Marine Partnership (PEUMP) program, through its capacity-building component, works at achieving this by supporting delivery of technical and vocation education and training (TVET) and continuing professional development programs. The PEUMP training programs focus on addressing capacity needs associated with coastal resource management in the PICs, including but not limited to, inadequate economic considerations in coastal fisheries regulations; limited capacity to support community-based coastal resource management; insufficient Pacific-relevant training and qualifications for sustainable coastal resource management through inclusive approaches; and insufficient in-depth understanding of the government’s role in com-munity and ecosystem-based approaches. To address some of these gaps PEUMP delivered TVET programs, micro-qualifications, non-formal training, and professional short courses across 15 PICs. Post-training impact assess-ments found the PEUMP training programs to have improved the knowledge and skills of participants, with more than 70 percent of the par-ticipants gaining new skills and/or knowledge, which they attempted to pass on to their colleagues. A number of lessons learned were identified through the PEUMP training programs, such as the pros and cons of deliv-ering training through virtual means within the Pacific context. The article wraps up with a set of recommendations as a way forward for capaci-ty-building in the Pacific Island region through further inclusive training, localization, and community-based approaches.
Legal, Ethical and Industry Issues and Developments regarding Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships
Authors: Katsivela Marel 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This article presents selected legal, industry, and ethical issues raised by autonomous vessels (MASS). The issues selected are deemed important on the basis of the work done at the International Maritime Organization level, literature and/or the practice of MASS. Such issues revolve around the defi-nition of a vessel, seaworthiness, the presence of a crew and master on board a vessel, the Polar Code and MASS (legal concerns) and the presence of smart ports (industry concerns). Another aspect of MASS discussed are the ethical concerns they raise, such as invasion of privacy, lack of trans-parency, non-discrimination, and accountability due to the technology they use. The issues treated are not exhaustive in number or content and are not specific to a geographical region. However, since they are of interest to Canada, Canadian laws and/or case law or initiatives are often touched upon. The objective is to give to the reader a glimpse into the highly diver-sified regulatory (legal and ethical) and industry issues raised by MASS and to make some suggestions about how to deal with them in the future.

“Uc4c 2FA8” – A Linguistic Analysis of Sayings on Bajaji Passenger Tricycles in Dar es Salaam City
Authors: Mapunda Gastor 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The three-passenger tricycle, known as bajaji in Tanzania, is a popular means of public transport in Dar es Salaam. This popularity may be attributed to their affordable fares due to their efficient fuel consumption, short wait-time for passengers, and their slim size which allows them to slyly jump traffic queues. Many bajajis are inscribed with sayings that carry different messages in the form of texts, pictures, or a combination of both. Investigating these sayings reveals the motivation for writing them, their linguistic features, their sociolinguistic contexts of production, and various functions they serve. The main findings are that bajaji sayings carry different linguistic features, such as SMS features, slang, misspelling, different languages, and leetspeak spelling. The social functions which they serve include enthusing, entertaining, and instructing. The shortcomings of some of these inscriptions include the fact that some feature insulting language, and some celebrate and thereby may encourage selfish behaviour.
Removing Interfering Signals in Spaceborne Radar Data for Precipitation Detection at Very High Altitudes

Published: June 2023

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of interfering signals on high-altitude precipitation extraction from spaceborne precipitation radar data. Data analyses were performed on the products of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Precipitation Radar (TRMM PR) and the Global Precipitation Measurement Core Observatory Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (GPM DPR) to clarify the effects of removing radio interferences and mirror images, particularly focusing on deep precipitation detection. The TRMM PR acquired precipitation data up to an altitude of approximately 20 km and occasionally captured interferences from artificial radio transmissions in specific areas. Artifacts could be distinguished as isolated profiles exhibiting almost constant radar reflectivity. The number of interferences affecting the TRMM PR gradually increased during the operation period of 1998–2013. A filter was introduced to separate the observed profiles into deep storms that reach the upper observation altitude and contamination caused by radio interference. The former frequently appeared over the Sahel area, where the observation upper limits are lowest. The removal of the latter, radio interference, improved the detection accuracy of the mean precipitation at high altitudes and considerably influenced specific low-precipitation areas such as the Middle East. This spatial feature–based filter allowed us to evaluate the results of screening based on noise limits that are implemented in standard algorithms. The GPM DPR Ku-band radar product contained other unwanted echoes due to the mirror images appearing as second-trip echoes contaminating the high-altitude statistics. Such second-trip echoes constitute a major portion of the echoes observed near the highest altitudes of deep storms.

Significance Statement
Understanding the current state of separation of naturally occurring precipitation signals from artificial interference signals in spaceborne radar data at altitudes of approximately 20 km is critical for gaining a comprehensive picture of the intensity and structure of precipitation systems. In the case of the TRMM PR data, artifacts could be distinguished as isolated profiles with an almost constant radar reflectivity, and interferences gradually increased during the operation period. The removal of radio interference considerably affects the statistics of extremely deep storms. Improved algorithms and observation techniques have expanded the observation coverage associated with the GPM DPR KuPR data, but there are interferences (mirror images) that should be removed for a thorough discussion of very high-altitude precipitation.

Published: June 2023

Background Since 2016, the Choosing Wisely campaign has recommended against routine axillary surgery in elderly patients with early stage, hormone receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer. The objective was to evaluate factors associated with axillary surgery in breast cancer patients meeting criteria for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) omission and identify potential disparities. Methods Female patients age ≥70 years with cT1-2N0M0, ER+, HER2-negative breast cancer diagnosed after publication of the Choosing Wisely recommendations, between 2016 and 2019, were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Patient demographics and tumor characteristics associated with axillary surgery were analyzed. Results Of the 31 756 patients meeting omission criteria, 25 771 (81.2%) underwent axillary surgery. Hispanic ethnicity, median household income between $35,000 and $70,000, treatment in rural areas, poor differentiation, lobular and mixed lobular with ductal histology, T2 tumors, radiation therapy, and systemic therapy were factors associated with receiving axillary surgery on multivariable analysis. In the axillary surgery cohort, a median of 2 (IQR = 2) nodes were examined and 529 (2.1%) patients were found to have 1 or more positive lymph nodes. Discussion Among elderly patients meeting Choosing Wisely criteria for SLNB omission, particular racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and geographic populations may be at increased risk for potential over treatment. Identification of these factors provides specific opportunities for education and implementation of de-escalation of unnecessary procedures.
A diabetes prediction model based on Boruta feature selection and ensemble learning
Authors: Zhou Hongfang , Xin Yinbo , Li Suli 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background and objective
As a common chronic disease, diabetes is called the “second killer” among modern diseases. Currently, there is no medical cure for diabetes. We can only rely on medication for auxiliary treatment. However, many diabetic patients still die each year. In addition, a considerable number of people do not pay attention to their physical health or opt out of treatment due to lack of money, which eventually leads to various complications. Therefore, diagnosing diabetes at an early stage and intervening early is necessary; thus, developing an early detection method for diabetes is essential.

Methods
In this study, a diabetes prediction model based on Boruta feature selection and ensemble learning is proposed. The model contains the use of Boruta feature selection, the extraction of salient features from datasets, the use of the K-Means++ algorithm for unsupervised clustering of data and stacking of an ensemble learning method for classification. It has been validated on a diabetes dataset.

Results
The experiments were performed on the PIMA Indian diabetes dataset. The model was evaluated by accuracy, precision and F1 index. The obtained results show that the accuracy rate of the model reaches 98% and achieves good results.

Conclusion
Compared with other diabetes prediction models, this model achieved better results, and the obtained results indicate that this model is superior to other models in diabetes prediction and has better performance.
An N6-methyladenosine regulation- and mRNAsi-related prognostic index reveals the distinct immune microenvironment and immunotherapy responses in lower-grade glioma
Authors: Tang Guihua , Peng Jianqiao , Huo Longwei , Yin Wen 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is involved in tumorigenesis and progression as well as closely correlated with stem cell differentiation and pluripotency. Moreover, tumor progression includes the acquisition of stemness characteristics and accumulating loss of differentiation phenotype. Therefore, we integrated m6A modification and stemness indicator mRNAsi to classify patients and predict prognosis for LGG.

Methods
We performed consensus clustering, weighted gene co-expression network analysis, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression analysis to identify an m6A regulation- and mRNAsi-related prognostic index (MRMRPI). Based on this prognostic index, we also explored the differences in immune microenvironments between high- and low-risk populations. Next, immunotherapy responses were also predicted. Moreover, single-cell RNA sequencing data was further used to verify the expression of these genes in MRMRPI. At last, the tumor-promoting and tumor-associated macrophage polarization roles of TIMP1 in LGG were validated by in vitro experiments.

Results
Ten genes (DGCR10, CYP2E1, CSMD3, HOXB3, CABP4, AVIL, PTCRA, TIMP1, CLEC18A, and SAMD9) were identified to construct the MRMRPI, which was able to successfully classify patients into high- and low-risk group. Significant differences in prognosis, immune microenvironment, and immunotherapy responses were found between distinct groups. A nomogram integrating the MRMRPI and other prognostic factors were also developed to accurately predict prognosis. Moreover, in vitro experiments illustrated that inhibition of TIMP1 could inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion of LGG cells and also inhibit the polarization of tumor-associated macrophages.

Conclusion
These findings provide novel insights into understanding the interactions of m6A methylation regulation and tumor stemness on LGG development and contribute to guiding more precise immunotherapy strategies.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) originates in high altitude areas, such as the Andes, and has some inherent characteristics of cold, drought, and salinity tolerance, but is sensitive to high temperature.

Results
To gain insight into the response mechanism of quinoa to high temperature stress, we conducted an extensive targeted metabolomic study of two cultivars, Dianli-3101 and Dianli-3051, along with a combined transcriptome analysis. A total of 794 metabolites and 54,200 genes were detected, in which the genes related to photosynthesis were found down-regulated at high temperatures, and two metabolites, lipids and flavonoids, showed the largest changes in differential accumulation. Further analysis of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway and transcription factors revealed that quinoa inhibits photosynthesis at high temperatures, and the possible strategies being used for high temperature stress management are regulation of heat stress transcription factors (HSFs) to obtain heat tolerance, and regulation of purine metabolism to enhance stress signals for rapid response to high temperature stress. The tolerant genotype could have an enhanced response through lower purine levels. The induction of the stress response could be mediated by HSF transcription factors. The results of this study may provide theoretical references for understanding the response mechanism of quinoa to high temperature stress, and for screening potential high temperature tolerant target genes and high temperature tolerant strains.

Conclusions
These findings reveal the regulation of the transcription factor family HSF and the purinergic pathway in response to high temperature stress to improve quinoa varieties with high temperature tolerance.
Deep venous thrombosis and hyponatremia associated with citalopram use for behavioral symptoms in Parkinson’s disease: a case report
Authors: Albalawi Afaf 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background
Evidence is limited regarding the optimal therapeutic approach for neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD). Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are widely used for mood disorders and behavioral symptoms in older adults with cognitive impairment, but they have limited efficacy in patients with PDD. The effect of SSRIs on hemostasis is also unclear. This report describes a patient with PDD who developed deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and hyponatremia after initiating citalopram treatment.

Case presentation
An 86-year-old woman with PDD presented to our emergency department with altered mental status, generalized weakness, and left lower leg swelling. Citalopram was begun 4 weeks previously for behavioral changes and was discontinued 2 days before presentation because of excessive fatigue. At presentation, her plasma sodium level was 123 mg/dL. Brain computed tomography showed age-related changes. Doppler ultrasound revealed a DVT in the left lower leg. The patient was treated with hypertonic saline and intravenous heparin. After normalization of her sodium, she was discharged on donepezil and apixaban. At follow-up, her sodium remained normal, and her cognition and behavior were noticeably improved.

Conclusion
Older adults with Parkinson’s disease are sensitive to adverse effects of psychotropic agents, including SSRIs, which are not recommended first-line agents for behavioral symptoms in PDD. Upon initiating SSRIs in older patients with functional decline and multiple comorbidities, physicians need to evaluate the patient’s risk factors for bleeding or thrombosis. Physical activities should also be maintained as much as possible.
