AbstractObjective and design The purpose of this study was to compare synovial concentrations of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines between multiple-ligament knee injured (MLKI) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-injured patients. Subjects 14 patients with MLKI and 10 patients with isolated ACL injury Methods Synovial fluid was aspirated from the operative knee at the time of surgery and the concentrations of pro- and anti-inflammatory markers in the synovial fluid were determined. Structures injured, the time between injury and surgery, and demographic factors were collected. Linear regressions were used to determine the association between injury pattern and synovial inflammatory markers when controlling for age, BMI, and time between injury and surgery. Results When adjusting for group differences in age, BMI and the time between injury and surgery, no group differences were detected (interferon gamma (p = 0.11), interleukin-1beta (IL-1b, p = 0.35), IL-2 (p = 0.28), IL-4 (p = 0.64), IL-6 (p = 0.37), IL-8 (p = 0.54), IL-10 (p = 0.25), IL-12p70 (p = 0.81), IL-13 (p = 0.31), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (p = 0.90)). Conclusion Synovial fluid inflammatory markers did not differ between MLKI and isolated ACL injuries. MLKIs have a greater prevalence of postoperative arthrofibrosis when compared to isolated ACL injuries; however, this may be due in part to factors other than the inflammatory status of the joint.

Authors: RAJESHWARI K S , Devi K A Sumithra 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Wireless sensor network (WSN) with the recent advancement in wireless technologies and numerous applications gaining its impact and market value. WSNs are the collection and connection of low-cost sensor nodes deployed over some monitoring areas where human monitoring is quite difficult. At the same time, the limitation of these low-cost sensor nodes has identified numerous issues and implementation challenges. In this paper a brief introduction to WSN and its market statistic and impact. Some of the major issues and challenges are identified and addressed in this paper. The main contribution of this research work is to design a fault tolerance in the network with multiple base stations. The multiple base station will work with the multi-hop cluster head based on the shortest distance in the WSNs.

Abstract
Background
Preterm birth is a leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality. Regardless of its multifactorial nature, it has been demonstrated that vaginal infections, as well instability of the local microbiome, can play a role as risk factors. The aim of the present study was to investigate possible changes in vaginal microbiome composition due to the use of an Arabin pessary or vaginal progesterone tablets in pregnant women as secondary prevention of preterm birth.
Results
We did a prospective analysis of 44 pregnant women at risk of preterm birth for a short cervix (≤ 25 mm) observed on transvaginal ultrasound in the second trimester and randomly assigned to receive an Arabin pessary (PE, n = 22) or vaginal progesterone (PR, n = 22). Vaginal swabs were collected upon diagnosis of short cervix and 4 weeks after treatment initiation to determine the Nugent score and microbiome profiles. The observed microbiomes could be assigned to 3 Community-State Types (CSTs) and most of the samples were characterized by a low-diversity, lactobacilli-dominated microbiota composition that remained stable after the onset of treatment. No treatment-associated change in microbiome alpha diversity was observed in either PE or PR and beta diversity analyses showed no significant dissimilarity between study groups or sampling times. Also, by an analysis of composition (ANCOM) no taxa with differential abundance were demonstrated.
Conclusions
Pessary and progesterone treatment for a short cervix appear to be equivalent regarding stability of the vaginal microbiome and thus patients and practitioners should be reassured about the safety of these methods.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Purpose: Postsystolic shortening (PSS) and early systolic lengthening (ESL) which represent asynchrony in ischemic myocardium can provide prognostic information in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We aimed to investigate the potential of PSS and ESL to detect reduced myocardial viability and investigate the comparative prognostic value of PSS and ESL in patients with STEMI after primary PCI.
Methods: We prospectively enrolled 198 patients with STEMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention. All patients took a speckle tracking echocardiographic examination and myocardial contrast echocardiography a median of 3 days after the percutaneous coronary intervention. Early systolic strain index (ESI), postsystolic strain index (PSI) and myocardial perfusion score index (MPSI) were calculated. The end point was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), a composite of all-cause death, unstable angina, heart failure, non-fatal recurrent myocardial infarction, stroke, and complex ventricular arrhythmia.
Results: Reduced myocardial viability was defined as MPSI >1. Patients with category of MPSI >1.5 increased signifcantly with increasing tertiles of PSI (1.5% vs 7.6% vs 31.8%, p <0.001) and ESI (3.0% vs 12.1% vs 25.8%, p <0.001), and the highest tertile of PSI remained significantly associated with a higher MPSI in adjusted logistic regression model (b=1.00, 95% CI, 0.25-1.75; p=0.010). Areas under the curve for PSI and ESI to determine a MPSI >1 was 0.745 and 0.704 in ROC analysis. During a median follow-up of 9.0 months (interquartile range [IQR], 6.0-12.0 months), 39 (19.7%) patients suffered MACE. PSI and ESI remained predictors of MACE in adjusted cox regression models. In ROC analysis, IDI and NRI of PSI were significantly higher compared to GLS while ESL didn’t.
Conclusion: In patients with STEMI after primary PCI, PSS and ESL provides diagnostic information on reduced myocardial viability and offers prognostic information oncardiovascular events. Additionally, PSS emerged as independent predictor of mid- and long-term MACE with superior prognostic validity compared to GLS and ESL.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Spatial information on the location of crops is key to inform agricultural policies, and are an important input for global and national land use change models. The global crop distribution maps produced with the Spatial Production Allocation Model (SPAM) are widely used by researchers, policy makers and business for this purpose. SPAM uses a downscaling approach to allocate national and subnational crop statistics to a 5 arc minutes grid, informed and constrained by spatial information on biophysical and socio-economic drivers. This study introduces the R mapspamc package that allows users to create crop distribution maps for single countries using the SPAM cross-entropy crop allocation algorithm as well as an alternative approach to create maps at higher spatial resolution. It presents a six-step approach and a detailed example for Malawi to illustrate how the package can be used and what type of outcomes can be produced.
Baseflow index characterization in typical temperate to dry climates: conceptual analysis and simulation experiment to assess the relative role of climate forcing features and catchment geological settings
Authors: Longobardi Antonia , Villani Paolo 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Low-flow hydrological features are crucial for efficient development and integrated water resources management. Among others, the BaseFlow Index ‘BFI’ is one of the most important low-flow indices. Many studies have demonstrated that it is related to several topographic parameters, climate, vegetation and soil types and to catchment geology. With the aim to enhance the knowledge about the climate and catchment properties’ relative control on the ‘BFI’, an approach consisting of an empirical analysis, applied to a large area located in Southern Italy, characterized by a typical Mediterranean environment, is followed by a simulation experiment, considering climate settings, at the pan-European scale, typical of temperate to dry climate regimes. Main findings have revealed that (i) the correlation structure between the ‘BFI’ and the precipitation volume, at the annual scale, is affected by both climate variability and catchment properties; (ii) the ‘BFI’ variability is strongly conditioned by climate intra- and inter-annual variability; (iii) the major role is, however, assigned to the geological catchment features, with poorly and well-drained catchments behaving differently in response to similar climate forcing variability.
Adsorptive removal of Cr(III)–EDTA chelate from an aqueous solution by magnetic mesoporous silica microspheres
Authors: Wang Jiahong , Lei Sili , Sun Tongtong , Han Peiling 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane-modified magnetic mesoporous adsorbent (FNMs/APTES) was synthesized and applied to remove Cr(III)–EDTA chelates from water. The characterization of FNMs/APTES showed that the prepared adsorbent with a magnetic mesoporous structure was successfully grafted by APTES, which has good stability under acid conditions. The maximum capacities of FNMs/APTES for Cr(III)–EDTA adsorption at 15, 25 and 35 °C and pH 4.0 were 12.58, 13.13 and 14.00 mg·g−1, respectively. The adsorption isotherm of FNMs/APTES for Cr(III)–EDTA conforms to the Freundlich model, and the adsorption kinetic model accords with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Adsorption of Cr(III)–EDTA on the adsorbent was not affected in the presence of Na+, K+ and Ca2+ even at 100 mmol·L−1. Cr(III)–EDTA was anchored on FNMs/APTES through electrostatic interaction between protonated amino groups of adsorbents and Cr(III)–EDTA anions, and Cr(III)–EDTA chelates were adsorbed as a whole on the adsorbent. The Cr(III)–EDTA-saturated adsorbent can be readily regenerated in HCl solution and 83.03% of the initial Cr(III)–EDTA adsorption capacity remains after four adsorption–regeneration experiment cycles. The results highlighted that the FNMs/APTES as a potential adsorbent can be applied for the minimization of Cr(III)–EDTA chelates from water.

Authors: El-Sesy Marwa E. , Othman Sahar A. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The emergence of antibiotic resistance is considered a major threat, and this problem is exacerbated due to the excessive use of antibiotics. Therefore, it is necessary to find new antimicrobials that are effective against pathogenic bacteria resistant to existing antimicrobials. This study presents a novel antimicrobial approach for the bio-control of multi-antibiotic-resistant (MAR) bacteria. Ten antibiotic discs were used to evaluate the bacterial sensitivity. Five bacterial strains showed resistance to all the tested antibiotic groups. The following MAR bacterial strains were selected, and their identification was confirmed by 16S rRNA with an accession number on the NCBI: Shigella flexneri MZ350855.1; Klebsiella aerogenes MZ352107.1; Serratia marcescens MZ618709.1; Yersinia enterocolitica MZ673567.1; and Achromobacter denitrificans OK560350.1. Star anise extract (SAE) gives the highest inhibitory efficiency against isolated MAR bacteria between three local plant extracts. SAE was used to synthesize magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) using a simple and eco-friendly green biosynthesis technique. Synthesized MNPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared, and transmission electron microscopy techniques. The effect of synthesized magnetic nanoparticles for wastewater treatment in bacterial portion demonstrated remarkable bactericidal performance against total bacterial count with a percentage reduction of 84% using 0.05 g, and the efficiency of decreasing heavy metals was estimated.

CT Perfusion Alterations in Patients with Symptomatic and Asymptomatic
Unilateral Middle Cerebral Artery Severe Stenosis or Occlusion
Authors: Yue Junyan , Zhang Ping , Ban Mengke , Zhang Zhigang , He Yuhua , Guo Zhenfang 
Published: January 2023

Objective:
To investigate the changes in CT perfusion between symptomatic and
asymptomatic patients with unilateral middle cerebral artery severe stenosis or occlusion.

Methods:
A total of 64 consecutive patients with unilateral middle cerebral artery severe stenosis
or occlusion admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College from January
2019 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into the symptomatic group (n =
33), and the asymptomatic group (n = 31). Clinical data of the two groups were collected. Multivariate
logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the factors of symptomatic and
asymptomatic MCA stenosis. A t-test was performed to compare the differences in cerebral perfusion
parameters between the two groups.

Results:
Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that glycosylated hemoglobin levels
and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were associated with the development of asymptomatic
MCA severe stenosis or occlusion (odds ratio = 1.591 and 0.04, respectively). There were
significant differences in CBV, MTT, and TTP between symptomatic and asymptomatic groups
(p < 0.05). The CBF of the affected side in the symptomatic group was lower than that of the unaffected
side (p < 0.05), whereas the asymptomatic group in CBF was not. Compared with the
asymptomatic group, the CBF, MTT, and TTP of the affected side were significantly different (p
< 0.05). In contrast, the cerebral perfusion parameters of the unaffected side were not significantly
different (p > 0.05).

Conclusion:
The use of CT perfusion imaging to analyze the alterations in cerebral perfusion parameters
in patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic MCA severe stenosis or occlusion was
helpful in clinical diagnosis and selecting treatment strategies and judging the development of the
disease.
LATENT POLITICS IN SOUTH AFRICA: THE FALL OF APARTHEID AND THE PERSONALITY FACTOR
Authors: Kurillo Vadim , Mxolisi Ndlovu Sifiso 
Published: January 2023

This paper explores the phenomenon of latent politics in South Africa during the apartheid era. The term ‘latent policy/politics’ was introduced into scientific use by Gabriel Almond. In the field of political science latent policy/politics refers to a hidden, completely or partially unobserved sphere of politics underpinned by personality factors. The political process in South Africa shows many examples of latent politics. For example, the Soweto uprisings and the wave of unrest in mid-1976 marked the beginning of the final stage of the struggle against apartheid. Furthermore, in the fall of apartheid, hidden personality factors are also apparent, and here the role of the liberation movements was of decisive importance. Organizations such as the African National Congress (ANC), the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC), and other historical movements of the masses like the worker movements and the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM) are also studied in this context. An exploration of latent politics allows inclusive disclosure of various aspects of the political process.

A grande incidência de adolescentes com depressão, ideação suicida, tentativa de suicídio e suicídio em todo o mundo vem se apresentando como uma das principais causas de doença e incapacidade. Múltiplos fatores determinam a saúde mental de um estudante. O objetivo desse artigo é descrever os indicadores de depressão, suicídio e habilidades sociais em estudantes do ensino médio no ambiente escolar. O estudo de caso investigou indicadores sobre a depressão, relacionados a habilidades sociais e ideação suicida no contexto escolar. Foi desenvolvido com base na pesquisa social e o tipo de abordagem é fenomenológico, trata-se de uma pesquisa que emprega técnicas quantitativa, qualitativa e descritiva por meio da pesquisa de campo, realizada no ambiente escolar. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de questionário socioacadêmico e dois testes psicológicos. Diante dos resultados da pesquisa percebeu-se que 60% da amostra apresentou algum indicador de depressão. Então, foi identificada que quanto menor a frequência dos comportamentos, maior é a dificuldade e menos elaborado é o repertório de habilidades sociais dos adolescentes. Portanto, o ambiente escolar pode ser mais um local para desenvolver as habilidades sociais do estudante e trabalhar com programas de prevenção a depressão e suicídio.
ALTAS HABILIDADES/SUPERDOTAÇÃO: UMA VISÃO PSICANALÍTICA E SOCIOLÓGICA FIGURACIONAL
Authors: Santos Rosalva Maria Martins dos , Sobrinho Reginaldo Célio 
Published: January 2023

Este ensaio teórico trata de uma elaboração conceitual sobre a condição de altas habilidades/superdotação, fundamentada nos pressupostos da teoria sociológica figuracional de Norbert Elias em associação à Psicanálise freudiana. As reflexões desenvolvidas neste ensaio sustentam a compreensão de altas habilidades como uma condição peculiar que se constitui em meio à emocionalidade vivida nas inter-relações humanas. De maneira mais evidente, a condição de altas habilidades é constituída em um processo de sublimação de emoções específicas que, vividas mais intensamente por algumas pessoas em meio às tensões que narram a dinâmica das inter-relações que elas mesmas constituem, impulsionam um investimento libidinal em atividades valorizadas dentro de um processo histórico, cultural e social.

Aplicación de la causal de irregistrabilidad de marcas del artículo 137 de la Decisión 486 del 2000 en Colombia
Authors: Moure Pérez Juan Guillermo , Lombana Santiago , Noratto Torres Laura V. 
Published: January 2023

El presente documento tiene por objetivo realizar un estudio acerca de la forma en que se ha aplicado, en Colombia, la causal de irregistrabilidad marcaria del artículo 137 de la Decisión 486 a lo largo del tiempo. Resulta relevante adentrarse en el tema pues la norma citada posibilita a la oficina nacional de marcas a negar un registro en caso tal de que esta tenga indicios razonables para inferir que, con dicha solicitud, se podría llegar a cometer un acto de competencia desleal.
En este sentido, se hace un análisis extenso de lo dispuesto en el artículo 137 en concordancia con los desarrollos hechos, a través de interpretaciones prejudiciales, por el Tribunal de Justicia de la Comunidad Andina. Así mismo, se realiza una investigación cronológica sobre los cambios de aplicación que ha tenido la norma a partir del surgimiento de la Circular Única de la Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio, las modificaciones a esta norma que modifican el sentido de aplicación de este artículo y, algunos pronunciamientos expedidos por la autoridad al respecto que demuestran diversos cambios de posición.
Adicionalmente, se aborda la responsabilidad del rol del examinador, en cuanto al carácter preventivo que tiene su análisis de registrabilidad, al estar facultado para evitar que, por medio de una solicitud de marcas, se constituya algún acto de competencia desleal, contemplados tanto en los artículos 258 y 259 de la Decisión 486 como en la Ley 256 de 1996. Finalmente, se concluye que es fundamental que el examinador realice un estudio amplio sobre la solicitud de registro que van más allá de un estudio lato de irregistrabilidad, efectuando análisis de otros elementos de mercado propios de la competencia desleal, dado que si no lo hace estaría omitiendo el alcance de sus funciones y la correcta aplicación de la norma.
Sobre lo destituyente en infrapolítica
Authors: Moreiras Alberto 
Published: January 2023

La infrapolítica es un modo de pensamiento que busca reflexionar sobre el afuera constitutivo de la política sin llevar la política a su de-constitución. Como ejemplo de práctica infrapolítica Infrapolitical Passages, de Gareth Williams, junto con otros textos del mismo autor, presento y analizo este término. La infrapolítica debe entenderse como una política al cuadrado en la medida precisa en que se propone a la vez como crítica de toda política instituyente, en la teorización reciente de Roberto Esposito, y como condición necesaria de toda política digna de su nombre. La totalización de la ontología política que propone Esposito deja fuera lo que podría florecer como destrucción posthegemónica de la ontología política en nombre de una re-invención de la praxis democrática.
El gobierno de López Obrador y la disputa por la configuración del campo político
Authors: Palma Esperanza 
Published: January 2023

El ensayo analiza críticamente el tipo de izquierda que representa la tríada lopezobradorismo-Partido Movimiento de Regeneración Nacional-Cuarta Transformación y la disputa por la configuración del campo político a partir del triunfo de López Obrador a la presidencia en 2018. Este campo se está reconstruyendo a partir de nuevas líneas de conflicto trazadas por la retórica populista que divide el campo polítco entre el pueblo y las élites neoliberales del viejo régimen. Como todo populismo, el lopezobradorismo ha entrado en tensión con algunas reglas y valores de la democracia y ha generado conflictos con actores que se han constituido en públicos críticos de la estrategia confrontacionista del presidente, pero también de algunas políticas de austeridad del gobierno que en realidad está más cerca del conservadurismo que de una posición progresista. Se ha abierto una nueva etapa política en la que se está reestructurando el ámbito de lo público.
