La Red Distrital de Sangre como Sistema técnico administrativo y asistencial es coordinada desde la Secretaría Distrital de Salud de Bogotá. Su propósito es la integración funcional de los bancos de sangre y servicios de transfusión sanguínea del sector público y privado que existen en la ciudad, para garantizar el suministro suficiente, oportuno y seguro de componentes sanguíneos a la población del Distrito Capital. La donación de sangre en Bogotá sigue presentando un crecimiento importante con relación al número de donantes que se acercan a puntos fijos y puntos móviles de colecta de sangre con la intención de donar. Durante el año 2011 se atendieron 285.838 donantes potenciales (274.513 para donar sangre total y 11.325 para donar sólo glóbulos rojos o sólo plaquetas a través de procedimiento de aféresis. Del total de donantes valorados se difirieron permanentemente 5.8%, temporalmente 16,3% y fueron aceptados 77.7% (222.052).Con relación al INDICE DE DONACIÓN en Bogotá (número de personas que donan por cada 1.000 habitantes), en los últimos siete años la tendencia ha sido hacia el aumento, pasando de 25.8 unidades de sangre obtenidas por 1000 habitantes para el año 2005, a 29.4 para el año 2011. Importante resaltar que la colecta de glóbulos rojos a través de aféresis, impacta positivamente este indicador. De igual manera, la obtención de plaquetas a través de aféresis tuvo un aumento de 31%, obteniéndose 50.800 unidades por aféresis durante el año 2011, en comparación con 35.143 unidades colectadas en el año inmediatamente anterior. En Bogotá por cada 450 mililitros de sangre total que dona una persona, se están obteniendo entre 2 y 3 componentes sanguíneos.

Sustainable plant & crop production systems in Europe
Professor Laura Grenville-Briggs shares her stance on working together to counter the threat of oomycete diseases, focussing on trans-sectoral approaches to support sustainable plant and crop production systems in Europe. Oomycetes, microbes that superficially resemble fungi, are devastating pathogens affecting a wide range of plants and animals. Oomycete diseases in our agriculture, horticulture and aquaculture production systems as well as natural or managed ecosystems are a major threat to food security, environmental sustainability and economic stability. What is more, under current climate change predictions, oomycete diseases are predicted to spread polewards1 and with more unpredictable weather patterns are likely to be more disruptive in the future. These diseases could, therefore, be a significant barrier to meeting objectives, such as the European Green Deal and the Farm2Fork strategy. For example, potato late blight is managed in conventional cropping systems with multiple fungicide applications. In Europe alone, more than 2 million tonnes of pesticides are applied annually in potato, largely to control late blight2.

Can we produce new medicines from microalgae?
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammation in the digestive tract. Currently no effective treatment exists, something that the researchers of the EU-funded Algae4IBD project want to change with the help of microalgae. Microalgae are a promising resource for new medical agents, and algae cultivation can be optimised to produce the desired compounds in the required quantities. How does it all work? Two scientists involved in the Algae4IBD project give an insight.

An exploration of the Portuguese council for health and environment
Here, Dr. Mónica Rodrigues explores the Portuguese Council for Health and Environment (CPSA) efforts to prevent climate change, promote sustainability, enact a Global Health System Strategy and so much more. There is overwhelming evidence that climate change and ecosystem degradation significantly impact people's health. There is also evidence that these changes are occurring at a rate that is fast approaching irreversibility, threatening the future of humanity. Nevertheless, we also know that the health sector is the 5th largest responsible for greenhouse gas emissions. Reversing this threat still seems possible, but it depends on each country, each organisation and each person's decisions in the coming years. Healthcare professionals, as advocates for patients – but also as citizens – have the ethical obligation to be involved in this global wake-up call. The World Health Organization (WHO) and several associations and scientific societies in different countries have already called for this engagement.

Gulf Watch Alaska: Long-term research and monitoring in the Gulf of Alaska
Within the Gulf of Alaska, in the North Pacific Ocean, three major events - both natural and human-caused – resulted in large-scale ecosystem changes during the last 50 years. The first event was a naturally occurring ecosystem regime shift in the late 1970s in which altered ocean conditions resulted in dramatic changes in marine communities. This event caused long-term declines in many shrimp, crab, seabird, and marine mammal populations over the subsequent decades (Anderson and Piatt 1999). As a result, some fisheries were closed, and a population of sea lions was listed as endangered, while some other species and fisheries thrived.
Climate change threatens beach tourism

Climate change threatens beach tourism
Beaches evoke an emotion known to improve physical and mental well-being and have become a primary destination for leisure, relaxation and recreation, notes Researcher David Cabana from the Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS). However, he highlights, coastal and beach tourism goes beyond mere sunbathing and relaxation – it is quickly becoming an increasing concern for extreme climate change and erosion through rising seawater levels. Looking at the climate change threats to beaches and tourism-related activities, the Climate Services Center Germany (GERICS) in cooperation with the Blue Flag programme of the Foundation for Environmental Education aims to co-develop climate services and indicators to enable the application of climate change information into beach management and decision-making. The goal of the GERICS - Blue Flag programme collaboration is to enable the incorporation of usable and useful climate change information into municipal coastal decision-making such as in the Blue Flag assessment criteria to ensure that operators are prepared to adapt to climatic changes. This will also support the Blue Flag programme continues to recognize and award beaches and marinas that are not only environmentally sound but also resilient in the face of climate change.

Personalized diet intervention in Thai ageing populations
Professor Apichart Vanavichit a Rice Genomic Breeding Expert at the Rice Science Center looks at diet intervention and therapy for the ageing population of Thailand to prevent disease. Thailand has rapidly become an ageing society, and the average age of the Thais will be 30 years older compared to 1975. As the elderly population increases, it is anticipated that there will be more incidences of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as obesity (OB), diabetes (T2D), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Notably, the prevalence of T2D has increased rapidly from 6.5% in 2015 to 10.7% in 2030 (estimated), with the most significant increase will be found among the elderly population (72%). In developing countries, NCD has become the most immense burden among the poor elderly whose life depends on their children. There are strong links between consuming high glycemic index foods, a sedentary lifestyle, and NCDs. So, developing lower glycemic index meals and changing lifestyles with diet intervention programmes are sensible solutions to slow down the prevalence of future NCDs.

Authors: ÖZTÜRK Nazli , KARA Hava , ARIKAN Fatma 
Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT
Objective: This study explored the prevailing perceptions of personal protective measures against COVID-19 and the degree of health literacy among undergraduate students. Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study included a total of 360 undergraduate students majoring in fields other than healthcare. Research data were collected through an online questionnaire consisting of Student Information Form, Personal Protective Measures Form and Health Literacy Scale. The data were analyzed with Chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests.Results: The mean scores for wearing masks, hand hygiene, fear of being diagnosed with COVID-19, and health literacy scale among female students were significantly higher than those of males. We found that 67.5% of our participants thought vaccination was important in protection from the disease and 57.2% were afraid of being diagnosed with COVID-19. Female students had higher levels of health literacy and better perceptions of the importance of personal protective measures. Conclusion: Improving COVID-19-related health literacy among university students could offer significant benefits in controlling the pandemic.

Published: April 2023

In this paper we present the results of a research on the analysis of argumentative writing by Italian students of Spanish as a foreign language at the University of Salerno (Italy). The need to implement a different model of argumentative macrostructure teaching/learning has led us to consider the following objectives: to verify the positive impact of direct instruction using different real materials in order to investigate whether autonomous and distance learning favours the understanding of the argumentative macrofunction, in response to the research questions of whether intertextuality helps the understanding of the argumentative text structure and favours metalinguistic reflection. After analysing the results, we have been able to confirm that this teaching/learning method has been successful, since in all the analysed texts the elements that make up the prototypical process and several of the resources for argumentation developing indicated in the Instituto Cervantes’ Curricular Plan appear.
En este trabajo presentamos los resultados de una investigación relativa al análisis de la escritura argumentativa por parte de estudiantes italianos de español como lengua extranjera de la Universidad de Salerno (Italia). La necesidad de implementar un modelo diferente de la enseñanza/aprendizaje de la macroestructura argumentativa, nos ha llevado a plantearnos los siguientes objetivos: verificar la incidencia positiva de la instrucción directa utilizando diferentes materiales reales para indagar si el aprendizaje autónomo y a distancia favorece la comprensión de la macrofunción argumentativa, en respuesta a las preguntas de investigación de si la intertextualidad ayuda a la comprensión de la estructura del texto argumentativo y favorece la reflexión metalingüística. Tras el análisis de los resultados hemos podido constatar que esta modalidad de enseñanza/aprendizaje ha sido exitosa, pues en todos los textos analizados aparecen los elementos que conforman el proceso prototípico y varios de los recursos para desarrollar la argumentación indicados en el Plan curricular del Instituto Cervantes.
La argumentación multimodal en los cursos de formación docente para conectar la teoría con la práctica
Authors: Mateo Girona María Teresa , Wahleithner Juliet Michelsen 
Published: April 2023

We start from the current need to critically review the teaching of argumentation in teacher education programs. The methodology adopted is qualitative, with an initial content analysis of the treatment of multimodal argumentation in a selection of U.S. teacher training programs. The models detected are contrasted with the ARCO model and a transmodalizing proposal of genre is made, consisting of the transformation of argumentative reflection in text commentary. Secondly, a case study report is made based on the contrastive analysis of four texts produced by students of the selected programs. The results show improved indicators of complex thinking; in particular, the significance of the crossing of the multimodality variant with creative thinking is especially relevant. It is discussed how the proposal makes it possible to relate theory with practice prior to practicing the teaching profession, and it is concluded that including multimodal argumentation in teacher training may be one more way to solve the disconnection between theory and practice in programs with courses taught without classroom intervention.
Se parte de la necesidad actual de revisar críticamente la enseñanza de la argumentación en los programas de formación del profesorado. La metodología adoptada es de corte cualitativo, con un primer análisis de contenido del tratamiento de la argumentación multimodal en una selección de programas estadounidenses de formación del profesorado. Los modelos detectados se contrastan con el modelo ARCO y se realiza una propuesta transmodalizadora de género consistente en la transformación de la reflexión argumentativa en el comentario de textos. En segundo lugar, se realiza un informe de estudio de caso basado en el análisis contrastivo de cuatro textos producidos por estudiantes de los programas seleccionados. Los resultados muestran indicadores del pensamiento complejo mejorados; en concreto, resulta especialmente relevante la significatividad del cruce de la variante de multimodalidad con el pensamiento creativo. Se discute acerca de cómo la propuesta permite relacionar la teoría con la práctica previamente a ejercer la profesión docente, y se concluye que incluir la argumentación multimodal en la formación del profesorado puede ser una vía más para solventar la desconexión entre la teoría y la práctica de los programas con cursos impartidos sin intervención en el aula.

Enveloped and non-enveloped virus survival on microfiber towels
Authors: Anderson Claire E. , Wolfe Marlene K. , Boehm Alexandria B. 
Published: April 2023

Background
Handwashing is an important intervention which can reduce indirect disease transmission, however soap and water for handwashing purposes is not available in some low-resource regions. When handwashing with soap and water is not possible, individuals may use alternatives such as the Supertowel (a microfiber towel with an antimicrobial coating). Testing of viral inactivation as a result of antimicrobial treatment on the Supertowel, however, has been limited. The goal of this study is to provide information about the performance of the Supertowel’s antimicrobial treatment against viruses, which will help inform the use of the towels as handwashing alternatives.

Methods
We seeded the Supertowel and a regular microfiber towel with two bacteriophages (enveloped Phi6 and non-enveloped MS2) and monitored viral inactivation over time. Additionally, we assessed if temperature, humidity, whether the towel was initially wet or dry, or virus type had an effect on viral decay rate constants. Virus concentrations were measured repeatedly over 24 h.

Results
We found that neither towel type (whether the towel was a Supertowel or a regular microfiber towel) nor humidity were significant variables in our model of decay rate constants (P = 0.06 and P = 0.22, respectively). We found that the variables of temperature, whether towels were initially wet versus dry, and virus type were significantly different from 0, suggesting that these variables explained variance in the decay rate constant (P = 6.55 × 10−13, P = 0.001, and P < 2 × 10−16, respectively). Higher temperatures, dry towels, and enveloped viruses all resulted in increases in the decay rate constant.

Conclusions
Viruses seeded onto a Supertowel decay similar to viruses seeded onto a regular towel indicating that the virucidal potential of the Supertowel is minimal.

Published: April 2023

Aims: The chondromyxoid tumor is a benign primary bone tumor of cartilaginous differentiation whose location is atypical and rarely described in the literature.
Case Report: A 10 year old child, who consulted the emergency room of the children's hospital of Rabat for a hard and painful swelling of the right iliac fossa, rapidly increasing in volume. Biological tests were normal. The radiography showed a mixed lytic and condensing lesion, heterogeneous, of the right iliac wing, prompting an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Discussion: Chondromyxoid fibroma usually affects young subjects and manifests clinically as pain and swelling. Pathological fractures are common.
On standard radiography, in long bones, there is an eccentric geographic gap, blowing out the cortex. On flat bones such as the iliac bone, the tumor is often polycyclic and mixed, combining condensation and bone lysis. Intratumoral microcalcifications may be encountered.
MRI is the key examination to evoke the diagnosis of chondromyxoid fibroma.
Conclusion: Imaging and in particular MRI plays multiple and fundamental roles in the management of chondromyxoid fibroma. MRI provides diagnostic guidance, particularly in the case of atypical localization.

Published: April 2023

Aim: The study aims to be an initial assessment of the ability of the Qu Path software to quantitatively distinguish between benign cervical epithelium and non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma cell clusters.
Study Design: We carried out a retrospective cross-sectional study of nineteen slides of cervical biopsies of non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (NKSCC) of the cervix.
Place and Duration of Study: These are from cases of cervical carcinomas seen in UniOsun Teaching Hospital, Osogbo between 1st January 2006 and 31st December 2015.
Materials and Methods: These slides had been prepared by standard laboratory protocol and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The slides were scanned using CS2 APERIO digital slide scanner with standard settings.
The scanned slides were viewed using QuPath-0.3.2 software. For each normal or NKSCC cell found in the randomly sampled cluster of the biopsy, the nuclear and cytoplasmic morphometric features were analyzed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS version 20.
Results: The cells in the normal clusters were 13,774 and that of the NKSCC was 26,114. There is a higher mean nuclear area in NKSCC cells compared to normal cells. The malignant cells have a higher mean nuclear area, circularity, and perimeter than cells of the benign epithelium. There was a higher nuclear hematoxylin OD (optic density) mean, hematoxylin OD max, and hematoxylin OD sum in the malignant cells. There was a higher cell eccentricity, mean cytoplasmic eosin OD, maximum eosin OD and minimum eosin OD in the malignant cells. The maximum nuclear caliper is higher in cells of NKSCC than that of benign epithelium.
Conclusion: The QuPath software (version 0.3.2) can be a useful aid to differentiate non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (NKSCC) from normal squamous cervical epithelium especially in fragmented biopsies.
