Published: March 2022

El presente artículo de investigación consolida los resultados obtenidos en el diagnóstico inicial realizado a Colactabio, emprendimiento de economía solidaria de producción y comercialización de leche cruda. Mediante la aplicación del Modelo de Modernización para la Gestión Organizacional (MMGO), desarrollado por la Universidad EAN, y partiendo de los resultados obtenidos, se busca incrementar su nivel de competitividad a través de la actualización de las estrategias organizacionales, obteniendo las pautas para que la dirección establezca la ruta estratégica a seguir, y así optimizar los procesos de producción, transporte, calidad, comercialización y su impacto fuera del municipio. Se utilizó la metodología de investigación acción participativa al contar con la colaboración de la gerencia de la organización, encontrando que la cooperativa, constituida hace más de 15 años, desarrolla sus procesos de manera informal, con procesos centrados en el producto y sin proyección competitiva fuera de su entorno de mercado, ubicada a nivel general en estadio 2 de acuerdo a la matriz. Los componentes de mayor desempeño fueron el de Asociatividad, confirmando el cumplimiento de su objetivo constitutivo de optimizar las condiciones de vida de sus asociados, seguido por La Gestión de mercadeo, con buena parte de su producción vendida a empresas productoras de derivados lácteos de la localidad. Los componentes con los porcentajes más bajos de desarrollo fueron Las importaciones y las exportaciones, ubicados en estadio 1, resultado de la falta de proyección de crecimiento en cobertura competitiva. Podemos concluir que, a pesar de las condiciones adversas que amenazan este importante sector de producción primario, es viable la modernización de entidades como Colactabio, y propiciar el incremento de su nivel competitivo hacia mercados regionales, nacionales e incluso internacionales.

Authors: Likhnitsky Vitaly N. 
Published: March 2022

The described case represents the peculiarity that plaques of sclerosis were scattered not only in the white matter of the hemispheres and spinal cord, but also captured the gray cortical substance. The strong development of periependymal neuroglia, which formed a compact clutch of sclerous tissue around the aqueductus Silvii and the posterior horn of the lateral ventricle, is also unusual.
Atrophy of the parenchymal elements of nerve cells and fibers, according to the authors, is a secondary phenomenon; They consider primary changes in neuroglia, which are inflammatory and degenerative in nature. Together with Pierre Marie, the authors classify sclrose en plaques as a disease of toxic-infectious origin; the pathogenic beginning circulates, apparently, in the blood, which is why the localization of plaques is in close connection with the distribution of blood vessels.

Published: March 2022

The use of various arsenic compounds in parasyphilitic diseases of the nervous system was accompanied by an improvement in the general condition of the patients, but the objective symptoms of the underlying disease remained unchanged. The same results were obtained by the author in a number of other organic diseases of the nervous system (polyneuritis, Friedreich's disease, etc.), and only in the treatment of sclerosis disseminata in most cases an undoubted improvement was obtained.
Willige applied arsenic therapy in 12 cases of this disease; in 3 of them, which are among the severe, far advanced, the condition of the patients remained without significant changes, in the rest, an undoubted improvement was achieved both in the subjective state and in objective phenomena.
TeleseismicP-to-Rayleigh Conversions from Near-Surface Geological Structure along the Newport–Inglewood Fault Zone in Long Beach, California
Authors: Zhang Jia , Langston Charles A. 
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACTWe investigate near-surface 3D structure giving rise to P-to-Rayleigh wave conversions from teleseismic P waves recorded by the Long Beach array, southern California. Our previous study demonstrated that a local Rayleigh wave having circular wavefronts with phase velocities of ∼1 km/s arise from Signal Hill in array P wave data from a large Fiji Islands earthquake. A group of high-spatial frequency, low velocity 0.7–0.9 km/s Rayleigh waves having linear wavefronts also propagate away from strands of the Newport–Inglewood fault zone (NIFZ), suggesting that P-to-Rayleigh wave conversions from fault damage zones can also be observed. We compute synthetic waveforms using 3D finite difference to show that topography of Signal Hill accounts for much of the circular P-to-Rayleigh wave conversions. The NIFZ is best modeled by low-velocity, vertical tabular features above a depth of 500 m, with a width of 100–120 m, and ∼15% reduction in VP and VS compared with the background model. We observe that structure from the northwestern part of the inferred southwest boundary fault of the Signal Hill anticline dominates the scattering from fault damage zones. It is remarkable that the combination of low, near-surface velocity with relatively small-scale heterogeneity can significantly affect the signature of long horizontal wavelength teleseismic P waves, suggesting additional complexities in interpreting receiver functions for stations on deep sedimentary basins or in areas of significant topography.

Background: Most pregnant women with COVID-19 develop less severe form of the disease, with few cases of severe maternal morbidity and mortality, or perinatal deaths. This meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the frequency of miscarriage in pregnant women affected by the SARS-COV-2 infection.
Methods: A comprehensive search was performed in online databases to identify all relevant studies published up to 5th March 2021. Case-control studies and case series reported the frequency of miscarriage in pregnant women with COVID-19 was selected.
Results: A total of 22 studies with 8591 infected pregnant women and 141 abortions were selected. The frequency of miscarriage was 3.9% (95% CI 0.023-0.063) in infected pregnant women with COVID-19. It had the highest frequency in Asian (6.3%) followed by European (2.9%), West-Asian (2.5%) and Caucasian (2.3%) infected pregnant women. Moreover, stratified analysis by country showed that the frequency of miscarriage is the highest in Chinese (11.3%) followed by Italy (11.2%), India (2.7%), Turkey (2.2%), USA (1.2%) and France (0.9%) infected pregnant women.
Conclusion: Our pooled data revealed that the frequencies of miscarriage in pregnant women with SARS-COV-2 infection were 3.9%.

Abstract
Affordable brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) working outside the laboratory environmentare still rare. Their most limiting factors include low classificationaccuracy, information transfer bit rate, low variability of used approaches, andcloseness of the hardware and software components of the system. The presentedBASIL project has focused on designing, developing, and testing an affordableBCI system built on low-cost hardware and open-source software components.It provides people with motor impairments with an opportunity to control theirbasic home environment.The concept of the BASIL prototype follows the best practices that areknown within the construction of BCI systems, adds the concept of the cloudfor remote BCI computations, relies on testing and customization of the wholesystem to the needs of individuals, and focuses on the solution affordable forordinary users. The core components of the BASIL project solution includehardware components for signal acquisition and software components for localexecution of online BCIs.The BASIL system was tested on ten participants in laboratory conditionsusing various BCI paradigms. We failed to evoke a reliable P300 componentwith eight-trial averages. Eyes blinks, alpha activity, and steady-state visuallyevoked potentials were clearly observable. Dry electrodes with long pins werepreferred by most users. Out of ten participants, six could control the systemonline, achieving more than 70 % accuracy.The results show that a successful BCI system can be built on low-cost hardwarefor EEG signal acquisition and amplification. The benefits and weaknessesof known BCI paradigms for such a system have been identified. The currentsolution, the affordable BASIL BCI system prototype, is prepared for furthercommunity development and testing.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
As a crucial link in debris flow disaster control, control engineering can be divided into geotechnical engineering and ecological engineering. Geotechnical engineering is less affected by climate and can play an immediate role in the treatment of debris flow in a short time. Ecological engineering has obvious regulating effect on surface runoff and erosion. Furthermore, there are few discussions on comprehensive treatment effect between geotechnical engineering and ecological engineering for debris flow. Therefore, taking the debris flow gullies with control engineering implemented in Wenchuan area of Sichuan Province as the research object, this paper puts forward an evaluation method of treatment effect comprehensively considering the geotechnical engineering and ecological engineering. It is mainly based on the impact of engineering on the formation conditions of debris flow and the damage of projects. The comprehensive treatment effect of geotechnical and ecological engineering for debris flow is analyzed. The corresponding evaluation indexes are extracted, including 5 first-class evaluation indexes such as landform factor and water source factor, as well as 11 second-class evaluation indexes such as the peak flow reduction rate, the sediment retention ratio and the LAI ratio. The Fuzzy-AHP method is used to establish the evaluation model of treatment effect. The evaluation results are graded. It is considered that the treatment effect of other debris flow gullies is above medium except that two gullies is poor. The evaluation results are consistent with the actual investigation, which provides a reference for the control of debris flow in this area.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Background: The characteristics of a large sample size of the full-length genome of occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (OBI) have not been extensively explored in China. Methods: Voluntary blood donors who were HBsAg-negative/HBV NAT-positive (HBsAg−/HBV NAT+) were identified by blood screening and recruited. Blood samples were tested for HBV serologic markers, viral loads, and PCR to identify OBI. HBV full-length genomes were obtained by amplifying two fragments using nested PCR. The characterization of OBI strains was based on sequence analyses compared with HBsAg+ strains obtained from the same donor population.Results: Of the 50 full-length genomes of 172 identified OBI strains, 33 were classified as genotype B (OBIB) and 17 strains as genotype C (OBIC). Significantly higher nucleotide diversities were observed in the Pre-S2/S promoter region (SP2) and core upstream regulatory sequence (CURS) in OBIB than in their HBsAg+ controls (P < 0.05). Both OBIB and OBIC showed higher amino acid (aa) diversities in Pol and Pre-S/S regions than their controls (P < 0.05). In addition, 19 novel OBI-related mutations were found spanning the four open reading frames (ORFs) of the HBV genome. Four novel deletions and one novel insertion were also found in OBIC strains. Conclusion: Several novel OBI-related mutations spanning the four ORFs of the virus were identified by characterizing a large sample size of the full-length OBI genome, which may affect the production of HBsAg and contribute to the occult infection of HBV.

Abstract
In an article published early in 2021, we shared results indicating that expectancy (i.e., competence beliefs) and value (i.e., interest in learning, utility value, mastery and performance goals) perceptions among a sample of 90 French Canadian students (Mage = 14.81) in grades 9 and 10 remained at similar levels from few weeks before the first wave (January 2020) to the second wave (November 2020) of the COVID-19 pandemic. One perception (i.e., interest) even improved, suggesting that, after experiencing a confinement, students re-approached in-class activities with enthusiasm. To determine if this pattern of results remained the same as the pandemic persisted, an additional measurement has been performed during the third wave. Analysis with this additional data point revealed that interest, utility value and mastery goals ended up declining. These new data suggest that, ultimately, this pandemic has negative effects on students’ motivation, even if they keep benefiting from in-class activities.
Multi-step forecasting of the Philippine storm frequencies using Poisson Neural Network
Authors: Asaad Al-Ahmadgaid B. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The paper aims to forecast the Philippine storm frequencies using nonlinear Poisson model. More specifically, the nonlinear kernel of the model is defined by the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with one hidden layer and at least two output neurons. The model is trained to simultaneously forecast two semesters ahead for a given input. Further, the covariates studied were the Average Sea Surface Temperatures in the NINO3.4 region (5°-5°S, 170°-120°W), and the Average Sea Surface Temperatures in the eastern pole (0°10°S, 90°-110°E) of the Dipole Mode Index. The data, taken from the Japan Meteorological Agency’s Regional Specialized Meteorological Center, with time points running from 1950 to October 2021, is modeled at a semester-level granularity. The estimation is done using Maximum Likelihood Estimation by minimizing the negative log-likelihood function. Further, the proposed model is studied for different activation functions and different number of hidden neurons. Lastly, out of the 12 candidate models, the best model captures well the characteristics of the data both in terms of the point forecast and the associated uncertainties.
